The (.'mnp nt llolinkrn Krokrn rn-Drlnlln tf the npiure ol the Men Itynti n J'liwhU From the JV. Y. Time of to-lay. From every direction report nrrivo of frcflh lsnstcrsto the Cuban filibustering movement which originated In this city. Tlie latest reverHC which the patriots have met with oeeiirred on Monday evening at West llolioken, where aeamp of filibusters existed, having tieen established there on Monday morning. Tim cump consisted Of an old and unfrequented dwelling house, situated on the Weavcrton road and within a few hundred yards of vShipncy's floral park on the llaekcnsack river. The distance from llo lioken proper was about four miles. It was a very good hiding-place and was apparently in little danger of being discovered. At II o'clock on Monday night, however, a force of eevciity-flvo marines, under command of a major, and fourteen sailors commanded by two ensigns, embarked on board of a fteamtug nt the Brooklyn Navy Yard, bound for the locality mentioned. They had instructions from Admiral (iodon to aid Marshal Barlow In disbanding the camp and arre-'ing the fili busters. The naval detachment landed at the Elj'sinn Fields, and was met by Marshal Barlow slid several of his deputies. Orders were then Riven to have the force proceed against the camp. After a tramp of three miles the marines came in sight of the dwelling and were then separated in two squads, in order to approach find surround the sleeping men from opposite directions, and thus cut off all avenues of re treat. The movement was strategically accom plished, and at a given signal the united com mand gave the inmates of the building notice of their presence. An entrance was immediately forced, and the aroused patriots were directed to dress themselves and get ready to march. This the latter proceeded to do in an unresisting manner, without giving the slightest trouble to their captors. During the excitement, however, more than half the prisoners managed to get outside of the Cordon of marines and to escape to the ewamps, where they successfully avoided their pursuers. The crowd of captives which remained was subsequently inspected .nd found to number fifty men. These were marched to the Elysian Fields, and at 2 o'clock in the morning were placed on board the tugboat which conveyed them to Fort Lafayette, wliero they joined the (Jardiner's Island filibusters who are confined there. Later information has been received in regard to the remnant of Ryan's forces who were left on Gardiner's Island bv the marines, they being unable to find their hiding places. It is said that a gathering of the fugitives was held soon after the departure of the invaders, and that it was found that forty one men had escaped capture. A consultation was held among them, when it was decided to make a hasty retreat from the island before the United States authorities had time to make an other raid upon them. Despatches were for warded to the Cuban Junta without delay by a courier, it being desirable to have a vessel sent to the island to take them off. A vessel was obtained which reached the island on Sunday evening. With the exception of Col. Kyan, Col. Currier, and Lieutenant Colonel Basscy," the officer who es caped from the tugboat" Chase with Ryan's trunk, every oue of the filibusters took passage for this city. The three named officers went on board a small yacht, but did not disclose what was to be the'ir destination. Previous to em barking the men cheered their superior officers, and promised to rejoiu them in Cuba. They also gave cheers for the owner of the island and for his family. It was announced at the time that the meu were to rendezvous at some quiet place in or near this city, for the purpoee of reorganizing. It was also whispered about that Colonel Kyan and his two companions in tended to have themselves transferred from the yacht to an Havana steamer, but it is be lieved that such a report was circulated with the design of misleading the Marshal's officers in regard to the real movements of the Cuban officers, who, it is conjectured, will soon land in this citT. District-Attorney 1'ierrcpout returned from Newport yesterday, and devoted considerable time to Marshal Barlow, who wished to have him decide on the future course towards the prisoners at Fort Lafayette. It was found that it would be difficult to keep them in confinement long, and equally difficult to allow their unconditional release. They will probably be liberated to-day on their personal recogni zance not to violate the neutrality laws or en page in another expedition. Commissioners Shields and White will visit the fort for the pur pose of making the bonds. THE COMING MAX. An Iminlnralloii Agent OfT for China CcIcn. tiula lo be Juiiui-lei. From fft Memphis Avalanche, July 18. It can no longer be said that Chinese Immigration Ib a dream or a thing on paper. The. "ball" Is fairly itarted, and at least a thousand Chinamen, with fhir rat-trans and Dlir-tttils. will be at work in the cotton fields of this section before the close of the comiiifr picking season. They will be of the best aud most reliable laboring class, and will add greatly to the development of our resources and the restoration of our lauds, which, since the war, have been relapsing into their original wild state. George W. Gift, Esq., will leave here on Thursday of this week in the iuterest of the Arkansas .Hiver Immigration Company, and is authorized to contract for aud bring back one thousand Chinamen, to be delivered to Thomas II. Allen, Ksq., agent of the company in this city, lie goes via the Union racific Kailrotid to San Francisco, and thence by steamer to Hong-Kong, which route will occupy hetween forty and iifty days. The return trip will probably be all the wuy by water to New Orleans. In the event that the necessary number and right material can bo obtained in California, Mr. Gilt will return at once with them from that pla'ie, deferring his trip to China to some future time, or until the experiment of Chinese labor in the cot ton lields of the South is fairly made. He is pro vided with the means necessary for expenses, ami has also letters of credit for $.-o,ooo. Here is the first practical step in an enterprise that will no doubt lo-nit ... rr..,.t trmni. Mr. Gift is the man to carry out the business successfully, and Ins return will be looked forward to with great interest aud anxiety. The example set bv the company he represents is fine that should bo followed throughout the South, ijiicl we trust the company organized in Memphis (luring the past week.whioh is to operate ou a larger Jeale, will make as quick time in gettliig under full linadway. that the 'practical results may be experi enced before the close of this cotton season. I A Pretended I'll! riot. front the Tray Vaily IVhiy, July 19. Charles Kuss. who sported about Saratoga recently, pretending to be a returned Cuban Volunteer, came to grief on Friday last. On Thursday he called at the store of Mr. C. H. Brown, desiring to purchase a gold chain. Wliile Mr. Brown's attention was attracted by another customer, he managed to secrete a fine gold chain, valued at f 100, in his coat sleeve, and soon left, promising to call again. Mr. Browu missed the chain immediately, aud sent a clerk in pursuit of him, who brought Mr. Kuss back in a hurry. When charged with the thelt he expressed great surprise, and denied it strongly, but Mr. Brown was imperative, and Kuss soon caved In and let the chain drop from his sleeve. He pleaded earnestly for mercy, professing to have respectable parents, and said it was his first olletise. etc. Mr. Brown sent for an officer. who urrcsted the thief. At the examination the above facts were proved. Justice Barrett was at first Inclined to let him off on 500 ball; but after he liad been sworn and perjured himself the bail was raiseu to iuou. Kx-l'ulico Justice Searing, who was in court duriiur the. cognized Kusb as having been committed to jail jor a luiecujr "i uuriury in tne summer of lr, and believes linn to be one of those who broke jail when Thomas escaped in that year. tiOBLlXS. Wheeling In Frlhtencd-A Kallrnnrl Tunnel Haunted by a Murdered Alan The Mysttery Innolublc. Haunted houses liavlne become too common, the Wheeling (West Virginia) Intelligencer oc cupies over a column in telling a story of a haunted tunnel near the city on the Hempfield road. After laying the ground work of the story by reciting the number of murders that have been committed in the tunnel, the Intr.Uigencer proceeds to relate the experience of four men who passed through the tunnel on last Thursday evening, about six o'clock, ns follows: The darkness of the cavern had set into an appalling storm, but still they held their way. Soon groans and supplications for mercy fell upon their startled cars. The nsual cavernous echo was doubly apparent, as the tone of the voice was unnatural and sepulchral the men stood transfixed with horror and fright; the at mosphere was close and stilling. All at once issuing from the solid rock which forms the ceil ing, directly over the spot where the murderer slaughtered his victim, a ghastly form appeared. All around, aswe have said, was impenetrable durk ticss, but the spectacle itself was as clearly visible as in the noonday. It descended feet lirst till it reached a place u'.iout cqui-distant from the floor and ceiling of the tunnel, where it stopped and remained for a few seconds. Although covered with the slime and:artli of the grave, the features of the gha-tly spectre were dis tinctly visible, clad 111 the" habiliments of the totnb. Its appearance was liwrriblc in the ex treme. With one urm extended, and the bloody fingers of the hand hanging half severed from their stems, with the forefinger of the other band it pointed to a gaping wound in Its temple. The wound seemed fresh, but the drops of blood seemed clotted and stood out in bold relief on he face of the ill-starred wretch. Without a movement of the lips, a voice, apparently issu ing from the throat of the ghost, exclaimed in u tone so unnatural as to be totally in describable, "Let the dead rest !" The horror-stricken witnesses of this appalling spectacle rushed from 'the scene. At the mouth of the tunnel they met other parties whose credulity was not sullicient to believe the story of the witnesses. They therefore obtained a lantern und returned to the spot where the apparition was first seen. They were not long waiting when the spirit, in the same place, re peated the words he had before used, in, if pos sible, a more horrifying tone, and glided rapidly through the air towards the western mouth of the tunnel. The individuals thus made sure of the authenticity of the apparition were deprived of the power of speech for some hours, and even nfter the intervention of days their fearful recol lections are so vivid as to render them almost afraid of speaking on the subject. The persons who witnessed tills appalling spectacle in the tunnel being men of respecta ble and truthtul characters, their statements created a widespread and profound sensation in the eastern part of the city where they reside. This was intensified by facts which were dis closed yesterday morning by a gentleman who lives a couple of miles east of the city, and which ure related as follows: He was coming into the city afoot, by way of the railroad, late In the evening," and was ap proaching the tunnel on the east, and had noticed a couple of persons walking about a hundred vards ahead. He was a short dis tance this side of the school house, walking on the track and looking down to guard his steps, when he suddenly felt a strange shiver aud sen sation of horror, and looking up saw a man standing a few yards ahead directly over the stone culvert (where I'lricli's body was hidden). His arms were held up above his head as if guarding against apprehended blows, and the blood was streaming down his face and neck. There was an awful stony glare in the eyes, which rooted the beholder to the ground. His first thought was that it was one of the men who had been walking ahead of him who had been assaulted by the other; but before he had time to follow out the thought he glanced past the horrid spectacle, and saw the two men just about to pass into the tunnel. At that instant the man, spectre, or whatever it was, vanished, and was nowhere to be seen. Utterly confounded, the frightened) and horror-stricken beholder stood gazing at the vacant air, trying to comprehend what he had seen. In a moment or two ho had recovered sufficiently to think connectedly. He looked careful!' around. Nothing whatever was to be seen, though it was still light enough to sec objects with perfect distinctness. He says lie thought at one moment of running forward and telling the men who were ahead, andiskiiifr them it they liad seen anything, but he rellected that of course the apparition was not there when they passed, and remembered that ho had been looking forward over the very spot where It stood, in the alternations between looking ahead and down at the track. Besides, he felt sure he would be ridiculed and called a fool for his fright. He found it impossible, how ever, to go forward over the spot, and turning about he returned home (we judge with a good deal of precipitancy). Yesterday morning he came into the city by the pike, and hearing of the appearance in the tunnel, told one or two Iricnds In confidence what he nail witnessed. He is an Intelligent person, and not given to credulity, but he expresses himself tillable to explain the mystery. His account of the ap pearance of the apparition corresponds sub stantially with that of the murdered mau I lrieu. BEUST. What He Nan of the VlNit of the Viceroy of i:y.t.

The question of the capitulations was only touched upon here in very general terms In the conversations of the Viceroy and Nubar l'acha with Count von Beust. No mention was made of a project to neutralize the Suez Canal, and his Highness only incidentally expressed a hope that the Emperor would decide upon wit nessing tho opening ceremony, iho lceroy s visit was only a simple act of courtesy, without any political bearing.

GENERALITIES. t'tirloun Form of Innnnltr. At the Missouri Insane Asylum there is a boy eight years old, who manifests some strange propensities. He was destitute of clothing. The boy is in the habit of eating up his clothes. Not a "stitch" can be kept on him. Ho devoured everything, and is perfectly ravenous. Ho will even eat up his slices. Like many animals, he always smelt of his food before putting It In his mouth, lie repeats but two words, "ball" and "sugar." This is the extent of his vocabulary. When he gets hold of a ball he throws It Into the faces of those around him. The sugar he smells of nnd cats. This unfortunate lad has been injured by a blow on the head. Interr8lln Phenomena. During a recent balloon ascension nt Memphis some interesting phenomena were noted. The highest altitude attained was 10,070 feet, at which elevation the temperature was SO degrees Fahr. The balloon in ascending always assumed a whirling motion from right to left, while In descending it turned from left to right. Four good rnglish lever watches were taken up, two of which stopped at the height of two miles. A very delicate pocket compass was completely depolarized, and though it has since been gradually regaining its polarity, it is still worth less. The aeronaut was a confirmed dyspeptic before he began ballooning, but several voyages have effected a radical cure. A Demoniac Father. A man named Thomas Ilutchcn has been arrested in New Orleans for inhuman tieatment of bis children. One witness testified that lie saw Hutclicn beating his young son witlt a horsewhip, while the lad. under direction of the parent, held a bundle of paper in bis hand, each cud of the paper being in a blaze. Another witness testified that the wretch had, on more than one occasion, with the same instrument, lashed an infant only eighteen mouths old. A daughter of five years, when her body was ex amined, hud many marks of lash strokes and beatings; her person was in bad condition. The brother, two years older, says that his punish ment from the whip was not so severs as Ills pister's, because he submitted to tho burning paper torture. Attempted Suicide of a Young Jirl. A young girl named Julia Weill attempted to commit suicide last evening by taking morphine, but her life was saved by prompt medical treat ment. It appears that the unfortunate young woman, who is said to be possessed of much beauty, left her home iu New York in company with a man who brought her to this city, where he Is said to have accomplished her ruin. A young man named Converse, who lodges in a room in the Tyler block, corner of La Salle and South Water streets, says that he was informed by letter from a sister of the j'oung lady, who lives in New York, of the facts above stated, with a request that he take measures to reclaim her nnd send her to frietids iu Dubuque, Iowa. Mr. Converse, after a search, found her at the St. Charles Hotel and took her to his room, where she became very ill. A physician was called, and it was discovered that she had taken a large dose of morphine. Antidotes were given, and in a short time afterwards she revived, and hopes are now entertained of her recovery. Her briet history is a sad one, and it is to be hoped that she will be restored to her friends. Chicago J'ust, July 17. A BIoiiHter Elevator. The great Central Elevator in Chicago Is to be enlarged. It is now 101 by 1200 feet, and since its construction, twelve years ago, has re ceived about 00,000,000 bushels of grain. When the enlargement has been completed, it will occupy 101 by 300 feet on tho ground, with walls two or three inches in thickness, and 150 feet high. This will make it the largest elevator in the world, containing, as it will, 270 bins, caeli OS feet deep, with a total capacity of 1,000,000 bushels of grain. There will be three railroad tracks running into the elevator, two of which will be nsed for receiving grain aud one for de liycry. Each of these trucks will accommodate ten cars, so that thirty ears can be run into the elevator at one time, if necessary, thus making it possible to discharge 200,000 bushels a day. Punishment of Mutineers. The Poughkecpsie Eagle of yesterday contains the following: "Our latest despatch from Sing Sing (the last despatch being dated at 8 o'clock Suuday even ing) is to the effect that a few of the convicts, having consented to go to work, have been re leased from their quarters. A few more of the ugly ones have been handcuffed with their hands behind their backs, and then hung up ou a hook, their toes just touching the lloor, which is considered very severe puuishracnt. The howls and yells of tho convicts who are still kept in their cells may lie heard for a distance of half a mile, and crowds of the villagers from Sing Siug thronged the banks in the vicinity of the prison on the Sab bath listening to tliem. Joseph Lambert, a no torious murderer and thief, who escaped from Clinton Prison a long time ago, and who was re cently convicted in New York on a charge of grand larceny, was taken to the prison Saturday afternoon, but was refused admission until ho had served out his unexpired term at Cliuton Prison. He was consequently taken back to New York." DOMESTIC CHIME. Shocking Atteiunt of u Father to Coeree IIU tlaiiKhier to itlarry Attaint! Her Will. l.exinijUm, Ky., cur. of Cincinnati Chronicle. The community was startled and horrified on yesterday by a report that Thomas II. Irvine, a iarmer iu this coutity, and for many years Pre sident of the Richmond Stage Company, had attempted to force his daughter, a handsome and sprightly little girl, some tourteen years cf age, to marry a young mail by the name ot uroad well Keith, and she persisting in a refusal, he held a pistol to her head and allowed Keith to lavish caresses on the unwilling girl. Even theu she would not consent to marry him, and the lather sunt her up iu a room with Keith, and told hint that "she would be d d glad to iu..i ry linn when lie had gotteu through with her." "She ma le her escape lrom the room, and Keith ran alter her and brought her back to the house, and Irvine locked her up in tin upper room. Her step mother had gone to Mr, Henry Bowman's, who lives near by. to escape her husband's cruelty, uud the poor little prisoner managed lo send her, by a negro woman, the following note, written hastily on a scrap of paper: '1i;ah Ma l'"or Go.I'h s-ik -nmo liorn- or Hriid ho:ihv body Iiito.

Mrs. Irvine gave the note to Mr. Bowman, who immediately went to her rescue, and see ing her tit the window ot the room In which she was confined, placed a ladder, which happened to be at hand, and she came down on it, and thus escaped the clinches of her unnatural lather and an tin. 'crupuious lover. Mr. Bow man bioiight her to town and placed her at Cuptaiu Beard's, where she found protection and all the sympathy und tenderness which kind-heaitcd 'people would naturally show to one iu her forlorn condition. Warrants were issued for the arrest of Irvino and Keith, and they were brought to town by Deputy Sherifls Cochrane and Didlako, and the trial set for yevterday afternoon, but the hearing was postponed till this morning at nine o'clock. Irvine was released on bail, b?.t Keith was sent to jail in default of trfiOOO bail. There is great indignation in the community against Irvine and Keith, aud all felt that Irvine's ollense Is incom patible with a sound nilud. He has been drink ing a great deal lately, and this certainly has crazed him, for he has not heretofore been un unkind lather. SECOND EDITION! LATEST BY TELEGRAPH.

To the Editor of the Ut raM: The following is i,f vital impor ts!! ce to the public at large, ami will well de cive notice in your columns: Being a frequent travel lei on the Erio Rail road, lrom the facts herein I am confident that there is an organized conspiracy against that road to break up trains and create accidents, by mi n latclv iu the employ of the road uud dis inisied bv the Jim Kisk party. I heard such In timations by ex-employes of the road at different points on the route, principally at Owcgo, and I uiu Informed to-day by my friend Dr. R. Timszkv, member of the Board of Health, that some mouths ago, at the time of this wholesale cunning out ot uli nanus, no ue.uu mem at, (went) mid Ithaca openly threaten that there would be frequent accidents on the road until they were reinstated. All these accidents could have originated in tills way. Tlie No. 3 truiu a month ago, or little more, en which I was a passenger, was stopped some three hoursat midnight, near Susquehanna, by an immense rock being on the track, which required blasting In order to be removed. If such is the case, measures should be taken to punish Pitch offenders, or make railroad olliclals have more regard for tho safety of tho public than to remove competent men, and thereby jeopardize life and property, in order to give positions to friends. In the cause of humanity these tilings should be known if true, and if not true uo harm can bo done. Yours, etc., E. Paumlx BmowN. GRANT. What the Prrxldent Is Doing at I.on Ilrnnrb. Soys the N. Y.

It was evi dently his Intention to have peace during Ills trip, nnd, thus far. I see no reason why he should not have It, unless Mr. Greeley should arrive to-day, ns is expected he will.

I hope that tlie President's equanimity may not be disturbed by any such inopportune arrival, for everything is working smoothly and satisfactorily now, and it would be a great pity to have the quiet of the sea-side disturbed by the advent of political wire pullers. The President's family have kept themselves very exclusive. They take their meals In private and refrain from exposing themselves to the vulgar gnze of the crowd. Now this Is very proper il they see fit to do so; but It would bo better taste, l" think, if they would mix a little more with those whose touch would not contami nate, und who would, I know, refrain entirely from annoying them by Impertinent curiosity. Their dignity would not sutler, I am sure, and I warrant that time would pass in a more agreea ble manner by being sociable and forgetting for the time being that their home is tit the White House, and their usual friends only Senators, Representatives, and the high olliciais of State who live and congregate in and about Washing ton city. Last evening, when the quiet little dance took place In the drawing-room, the or chestra struck up our national airs, and all wero on tiptoe of expectation that the President and family were coining. But no, they did not come, und tlie quadrille went on without the faces of the dancers showing tlie leastsignof disappoint ment, for we arc all sovereigns in our own esti mation. Kx-Secretary Boric remains with tlie Presi dent, and certainly is the most sociable and agreeable mau of the party. I have been very favorably impressed with "him; nnd even if he did change some of the unintelligible, jaw breaking names of our highly ctlicient steam licet to others easy to be understood; and even if he did have a high estimate of tlie knowledge and experience of Vice-Admiral Porter (and wiio has not?), nnd saw lit to have him for his right hand man in the Navy Department, I .cannot help believing that he would have made a very eflicieut, and In the end exceedingly popular, Secretary of the Navy. True, lie is not a bloated politician not a man given to cunning and intrigue and not being so probably was his greatest fault, and the rea son why it was thought that he would not an swer for a Cabinet oflicer in the present healthy condition of our political affairs. For my part, I sincerely congratulate him on what I consider a fortunate escape, lie can now be the friend of the President without being one of his Cabi net ollicers, and tills is a most fortunate thing for a gentleman of quiet tastes. To bo one of the Cabinet, subjected to tho visits, annoyances, and importunities of a large majority of Senators and Representatives in Congress assembled, and olliee-seekers generally, I consider tho greatest curse that any of our people can be subjected to; hence Mr. Borie may consider himself for tunate In being rid of the position so early in the history of the present administration. The gaieties of Saratoga are ut full tide. The drawing-rooms and verandahs are crowtled, and the display of horses and carriages m the late afternoon and evening surpasses that of uny previous season at the same date.

The discount market continues to exhibit a tendency towards a higher range of figures, which is due to tho very conservative policy of the banks. The rate generally charged by the latter for call loans Is fair under the circumstances about 7 per cent on Government or other good collateral but outside lenders subject borrowers, who are really hard up for cash, to a very severe course of treat ment. The closeness of our market is in some mea sure due to the drain on the city to meet hotel bills at the numerous watering-places, where so many of our business meu are now rusticating with their families. The Cold market continues dull, and prices have again declined. Opening premium, 135','; lowest price, 134?b ; at noon, 136. The market in Government loans shows no change In tone or activity.

From tht Herald. Lr.P. w .r8,V!k co laU!ra1' but a xd tleal more was done at six per cent, on Government so much so that the rate was quoted .u anTseven per cen on the latter and seven on stocks. In commercial paper there was no new feature, and the extreme runge of discounting iigureH was from eight to twelve per cent, for prime notes and acceptances. Korelen exchange was firm. The demand has been Increasing with every steamer for Mie past week, hut not. enough to be styled active. A great deal of apprehension exists as to the future of the market, the number of bills offering without corresponding shipments of produce or geld Inducing fears for the extent to which sonic of the furclitn bankers are trailing on their credit abtovd. V hile the F.ngllsh discount rate rules at so nominal a figure as three par cent., there is a disposition on the part of many of these houses to withhold the gold or other commodity which should go to fori If.? their Recounts. So long as these experiments did not threaten business on this side of the Atlantic, it would give us little concern; but the ruin of oue house so overtrading would be dangerous to others and might lead to a panic. In one way the pla:i Is laud able. It cheiipelis gold, and doubtlcsi those Who ure Inking the risk e.vptct to make their shipments eventually when the premium Is lower. It is this em lens cottiplieutioii of utrairs which has led to a deadlock In geld. The 'Dears' are heavily short, on the e.vpt t tiilioii of a decline resulting from the scantiness of shipments, while the 'bulls' ire en deavoring to sustain the price by prophecies of the git at demand whit h must cmiic sooner or later. The 'bear' plan Is to put out t hese credit bills of exchange Hiid keep them iiiinut. imlll I he foreign market, sud denly Imbued n t'.h a new speculative ruo for our bonds to result lrom tliu steady reduction of the national debt, wtd take millions of our five-twenties agiiln, In li' ii ol geld, t settle the balance of tiode. 't he cult-illation s also mad" that the new crop of t'otton will begin to go over the Atlantic In time to assist the pliin. Kvery man hat, of course, the right to conduct Ida business as ho chooses. If the linns who are thus causing an iirtlllt ial depre. ciatlon of gold succeed In keeping the price dmvn, the country at huge will rejoice at the appreciation of their greenback currency, for such Is the converse movement. But to conservative bankers ainK to old business nun it seems tin uiiMife if not an unhealthy way of settling the biilsnc of trade by ex- ? oriing our iiiitiomil bonds of Indebtedness. Ixpt'ctatlotiB of au advance in our securities abroad, fountled upon the acts of Secretary Boutwell, are curiously enough followed this evening by a rise to S3 In London, which wus the latest price, according to private telegrams. The report has also been freely used that the Government would Increase its sales of gold, the amount disposed of thus far ln 1869 being only a fraction or the amount sold either lit 1868 or 1867. Gold to-day opened weak under the 'hear' movement, and deeliiii d to 135. trom which It ad vanced to 13.V',, when It was discovered ttiat the Allemania had taken out, $r30,ooo ami that the Scotia, which sails to-morrow, had over $500,000 en gaged. 'The decline late In the day to 135 if was due to the private cable despatches giving the London price of bonds at 8tt. The carrying rate for cash gold ranged from eight to six per cent. In the afternoon there wus an exceptional transaction recorded at three per cent, "The uggiegate value of the exports (exclusive of specie) from the port ot New York to foreign ports for the week etuli.ig July 20. 1869, was f4,60s,910. "The Government market sympathized closely with gold lu Its lluetuHtious, but whs generally dull. The Sub-Treasurer will purchase three millions to morrow. At the close the '67s were stronger."
