The London Troin on I lirn-KtidlenllNin In the I lilted Mil I I'M. The Pall Mall Gazette of July 15 says: The ideas of the Republican party in America With reference to the Southern Slates appear to lie veering round to the point taken up by the conservative section in l.s5. The policy recom mended fo earnestly by (lie late Mr. Raymond at that time, in opposition to Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, was one of general forbearance towards the ex-insurgent States. Others were for iiu imsing all sorts of disqualifications and penalties, Air. Boutwell, for example, 80 lar aa to introduce a bill prohibiting Southern lawyers from practising in the Supremo Court. Mr. Kaymond contended that these measures would only embitter the coming generation of South erners, and tend to deepen the estrangement between the two sections. He Buffered for taking what is now admitted to have been a statesmanlike view of the situa tion. The Tribune advises Northern Kudi cals to cease talking about disfranchising 'Rebels," and the Nation of July 1 points out that since Leo laid down his arms the sons of men who fought in the Confederate armies are coming rapidly to the polls. They cannot bo disfrancished. The Nation fears that "the last five years' disfranchisement, gratifying as it may have been to the sense of justice, was not a very valuable piece of policy alter all, from the prac tical politician's point of view." The long apathy of the South in political affairs is passing , away, and once more the people are likely to gain the upper hand, at least in their own divi sion of the country. The ultra Radicals have , had their own way, but not much good has ' come of it, or can be looked for in tho future. Mr. Kaymond did not live long enough to see his principles vindicated, but those who assailed him most bitterly are now compelled to acknow ledge that he may have been right, as they cer tainly were wrong. The politician cannot af ford, for his own sake, to be ahead of his time. "The Thunderer" on Ilie Sitlo of Cuba to the United Mutes. The London Times of July 1 5 says: Under such circumstances it would hardly ecem desirable for Spain to prolong the contest. After the failure of the experiment tried by General Dulce, it must be evident that the sys tem of sending public functionaries from Madrid to batten on the colony will have to be given up. Something like progress towards an enlightened commercial policy will soon be come a necessity for revolutionized Spain, and, upon the introduction of more liberal tariffs, it will bo difficult for tho flour of Castile to keep up a competition with that from New Orleans, or for tho manufac turers of Patalouia to monopolize the markets of the Antilles. If all that comes to pass, it is impossible to see of what earthly use Cuba can , any longer be to Spain, unless it be to gratify nationalprido by the maintenance of a dominion which is disputed in the teeth of some forty or fifty thousand of Spain's best troops. It seems but reasonable to think that considerations of this nature must have some weight with the men now guiding the destinies of the Spanish monarchy, and make them doubt whether Cuba does not cost them much more than it is worth, and whether its loss almost under any terms might not ,be counted clear gain. Already nearly all far-sighted statesmen in Spain, with General Prim at their head, have expressed their firm conviction that the separation of the colony from the mother country is only a question of time. A just feeling of pride prevents any step in that direction being taken so long as in surrection trusts to arms for the success of its cause. But upon the pacification of the island being effected, and Spanish honor receiving the fullest satisfaction, it would seem nat'.ral that the dictates of wisdom should be listened to. Cuba is valuable property, Spain is hard up for cash, and a purchaser is at hand. Able nego tiators would be at no loss for a compromise which, while sparing the just susceptibilities of the Spanish nation, could induce it to yield a troublesome sovereignty for a consideration which might afford tho means for restoring its shattered finances and consolidating its revolu tion. It is important for Spanish statesmen to think of it ; nor is it quite certain that they are not thinking of it. The intercourse between tho new Spanish government and . the Cabinet at Washington is carried on on the most cordial and friendly terms. Apart from scruples about high principles of nationality and popular sovereignty, It is an arrangement that would suit all Interested parties. Canvass the real population of the island, and tho plebiscite would give only one result a vote for annexa tion to the American I'nion. Wc have said tho "real" population, for, after all, Cuba should bo for the Cubans, and the 'Teniiisulars," if tho new order of things were less to their taste, have always their own country to fall back upon. The only serious question rising about the scheme are whether the Americans can at this moment afford the purchac-iiionev, and whether , Spanish statesmen, if they themselves under stand reason, can easilv bring their people to view the matter with their own eyes. The IIoiim-of l,ords-A Record of Forty Vears Jim t oiinlsti-nl I Hilii-mllty. The London .Var of July I t savs: If the ac tion of the House of Lords din-big the hist forty years were surveyed; it would be found that on every Important ouestion It li is nnrjin.il a nrm. Bluntly illiberal and retrograde course. A rc- lercnce 10 some ot the proceedings during that peiiud will have a certain historic value ut tho present juncture. The Pirst lb-form Bill Every schoolboy knows that the hostility of the House of Lords to the first Reform bill brought tho country to the verge of revolution. Twico this measure was practically rejected by Hint House, and even when they yielded it was inaiuly from a fear of being swam ed by new creations, or by yet more revoluiionaryiineaHtircs. Roman Catholic Emancipation On the sub ject of Roman Catholic cmuucipatlon tho Lords liad been equally obstinate. Various attempts which tho House of Commons made to procure 'relief to our Catholic fellow-subjects, both in England and Ireland, were persistently frustra ted by the Upper House; and, in 1BJ8, thev re futed to concur in a resolution of the ttotmlar assembly, to the eff ect tliut it was expedient to consider the laws affeetinir Roman Catholics with a view to a final and satisfactory adjust ment. It was only when, a year later, the choice lay between a rebellion In Ireland and liie removal ot u just mue ol tlLuHa'tiou Uut they yielded, and then only by tho private Inllu enco of the Duke of Wellington and Mr. I'eel. The Irish Church In 18M the Liberal Mints try introduced Into the Tithes Commutation bill the principle that Parliament was entitled to appropriate the surplus funds of the Irish church to oationul pnrpoecs. It was the House of Lords which, in defiance of repeated votes in the re formed Parliament, compelled the withdrawal of the appropriation clause; and although tho battle raged fiercely till 1838. the bill time after time was rejected by the Lords, and the Whigs were finally compelled to pass their measure minus the principle which in Ireland was re garded as a pledge of Justice. The Corporation and Test Acts. Tho Lor Is were equally Inimical to the relief of Dissenters, as was shown by their rejection of a measure authorizing Dissenters to solemnize marriages in their own places of worship. When they passed Lord John Russell's bill for the repeal of the Test and Corporation acts, they insisted upon the introduction of words which excluded Jews from the benefit of this measure. Jewish J)isabUtieK.tio long ago as 18.13, Mr. Grant's bill for extending civil rights to the Jews was adopted by tho House of Commons, but thrown out by tho Peers. In 1841, Mr. Divvtt succeeded in carrying through a bill admitting Jews to corporate offices. The Lords rejected it, and did not give way till 1845. In 18)8 the Commons were willing to admit Jews to Parlia ment. Year after year the bill for removing these disabilities was passed by the Lower House by increasing majorities; but the Lords per sistently withheld this act of justice. It was not till after ten years 'had elapsed that Jews were permitted to sit and vote hi .the House of Commons; but the Lords still reserve to them selves the right to exclude Jews from their own chamber,, should the Crown, in the exercise of its prerogative, desire to create Jewish peers. liissenters ami the Universities. In IH'H a bill removing the disqualifications which barred the universities against the dissenters passed through the House of Commons by large ma jorities, but the Lords rejected it by a majority of 102. If it had not been for this vote the Dissenters would have enjoyed the full advan tages of the two universities on terms of reli gious equality more than a generation ago. Similar bills have more recently met tho same fate. Church Hates In 1858 the House of Com mons passed Sir John Trelawny's bill for the abolition of church rates. The same measure was repeatedly carried in the one house, and as often rejected by the other, until Mr. Gladstone's compromise recently put an end to the strife. Municipal lief arm. In 1835 the House of Commons passed a bill purging the corporations of the kingdom of their worst abuses, but the Lords interfered for the more ample protection of the "freemen" who had been the cause of much of the corruption. The Corn Lairs. The hostility of the Lords to the abolition of the Corn laws is a matter of history. On the eve of their abolition the Duke of Wellington, who at all times commanded a majority of the upper House, wrote these words: "I am one of those who think the continuance of tho Corn laws essential to the agriculture of the country in its existing state, and particularly to that of Ireland, and a benefit to the whole community." Education When, in 1S3!, Lord Melbourne's administration placed the management of tho education funds in the hands of a committee of the Privy Council, in order that aid might be dispensed to schools of various denominations, the Lords, avowedly influenced by a fear that the ascendancy of the Church over the education of the people would be endangered, voted an ad dress to the Crown against this measure. Life Peerages Iu 1850 ministers advised the issuing of letters ratcnt conferring a life peer age on Sir James Parke. This exercise or the royal prerogative was successfully contested by the Lords, and Baron Parke was raised 'to the hereditary peerage by the title of Lord Wensley dale. Paper Duties Tho Commons, in 18150, re solved to repeal the paper duties. The House of Lords, for the first time In Its history, re jected a money bill, and that, too, by a majority of 8'.). As Is well known, tho Lower House, after an angry controversy, succeeded in vindicating its privileges. M-rloim Rioting in Ireland. There was a serious rioting at Lurgan, Ireland, on the 13th. A drumming party entered the town; sixteen Catholic houses were completely wrecked, the furniture, looms, and bedding were taken out aud burned in tho street. Seve ral persons were severely wounded. THE CONTINENT. The C'nuHC of Itlmnurk'n Temporary Iletire iii'iii. A correspondent of tho New York Tribune, writing from Berlin, July 14, says: undoubtedly, the restoration of' his health; but the direct cause ot his obtaining leave of afr sence from his position in the Prussian Ministry was that he might leave to its other members the entire burden of the coming contest with the I numbers on the question ot covering tue deficit. There is no member of tho Ministry who has so trreut a command over the Chambers as Count Bismark, and least of all the Minister of Finances, Baron von der Hcydt, who is to bear the brunt of the attack or tho Liberals, ana whom they heartily detest. Count Hismark has taken goou care, tnrougn tne scmi-oinciai press, to' convey the intelligence that he will in no way be bound by the action of tho Ministry during his absence, ana tuo Linenus are ciateci over an easy success which they anticipate, and which is almost certain, count BismarKnas undoubtedly retired to give the Chambers an opportunity to defeat tho Ministry; and the accomplished results will be that his own neces sity to me conduct oi iue novel imieiit win uo indismitublv established, aud he will be given an opportunity to procure the reconstruction of the Ministry iu a way agrecauie 10 i.iueruis uuu 10 the present Crown Prince, in anticipation of a succession to tho throne, from tho declining health of its preseat apparently robust occu pant. rllllliufltll'ff liriifnnn. The Paris Steele (writing in ignorance of the prorogation of tho Chambers) says: I . . i 4 .... . i. o r.nn Ann hat are inese reiorms r .aio uiu u,.juv,uuu men who voted for the opposition expected to be grateful for them? Pshaw! They claimed Democratic institutions, they requirediho eman cipation of universal suffrage, they believe that the election of mayors would be at once ac corded to them; they imagined, good, simple forlk, that personal power was about to aisap pear before their imposing manifestation. Par liamentary reforms are granted, which we will not depreciate, for they have an incontestiblo utility, but which are. absolutely insufficient. As an accessory this gift would be excellent; as the main object is almost null. Trouble Between France nnl Mwllserlnnd. An unexpected difficulty has arisen in the ne gotiations now pending between Franco and Switzerland for the conclusion of a new treaty of extradition. The French government demands that political assassination shall lie regarded in tho same light as murder com mitted from any other cause, and justifying, without further inquiry, the extradition of the criminal. This principle the Swiss authori ties refuse to admit, asserting that no such clause exists in the treaties concluded with any other State, and declining to make an exception iu favor of France, which would bo looked upon as an undue concession to the pressure of u powerful neighbor. As matters stand at present the negotiations are at a dead lock, but there is reason to believe that the French Government will withdraw the contested proposition. (KNEKAI. NKWrt. The Roman Government has lssu( d orders for the troops to form a catno between Monte Ko- M. Thiers spent $8000 on bill posting in Paris previous to his election as deputy during the recent election. An Italian journal asserts that already 150 bishops have accepted the Holy Father's hospi tality, and the number will soon reach 200. The Pope has decided that formal Invitations shall be sent to all Catholic nations, enjoining them to send special representatives to tho ap proaching Council. A Berlin journal, the Ate Prussian Gazette, advises Napoleon to avoid parliamentarism, as it will ensue in danger to tho country and to himself. The Czar of Russia has decreed that all pa rents forcing their children to marry or to enter monasteries or convents, shall be liable to a punishment of from four months' to one year's imprisonment, besides any punishment that may be Inflicted by the religious authorities. THE SUEZ (.ANAL. The Prrremi of the Witrk. A correspondent of the Bombay Gazette, who visited the Suez Canal, gives an "interesting ac count of tho works in progress along tho lino. Personal Inspection made him a believer for tho first time In the canal as "a really great achieve ment," especially when ho saw the waters of the Mediterranean rushing past him in a strong cur' rent 150 feet broad into the Bitter Lakes. Al ready tho water let through the deversoir near Scrapeum has flooded the basin of the lakes to a good depth, but a vast quantity more must yet be introduced before the lakes arc raised to the level of the canal. "In point of fact," ho writes, "the whole country must be covered with water before the desired level is reached and tho embankment can be cut away. M. Laval ley proposes to bring the Red Sea iu to the aid of the Mediterranean in order to accomplish this ' work, and has fixed the 1st of July as the date for effecting commu nication between the two seas. But the works at Chalouf will certainly not bo completed at that date, or for some time after it ; and I ob serve that the contractor has Ingeniously pro vided a loophole of escape for himslf by proposing to cut through the bank of the canal at the head of the Suez lagoons, several miles from the entrance to the channel, and so let the water Into tho Bitter Lakes from this side by a fresh dvversoir. This will certainly be one mode of establishing through communication ; but I need not say that it will be a quite different thing from the opening of the canal for tho navi gation of heavy ships." Ismailia is a charming little town, but "it makes one Binilc to hear every man talk of it as likely to super sede Alexandria." There is no port yet in Luke Tsimalj, much less any trade, but it is a pleasant place for bathing, and, in one respect, at least, it is already in advance of some parts nearer home there arc regula tions that every bather shall wear a full dress in the morning, though in the eveniug ho may be allowed to go into the water with a "simple cale con." The canal at El-(iisr is very narrow, and, to make bad worse, instead ot running in a straight line, through some blunder on the part of tho eugiuciirs, it describes "a. regular cork screw worm, presenting very awkward points for a big ship to steer round." The navigation of the canal from Ismailia to Port Said is perfectly free all the way for river boats of a light draught of water, but dredges arc constantly at work deepening tho channel. After reading the fore going account, it seems very uncertain whether the canal will be open for navigation at the time fixed by M. de Lesscps. CHIVALRY. A ('hnrnelcrlnllr Scone In Mouth Carolina Three XUeu Killed una Four Wounded. A bloody row occurred at the election pre cinct of Sleepy Hollow, Barnwell county. South Carolina, on Thursday last, which resulted in the killing of two men, the fatal wounding of another, and tho stabbing of four others. The Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist says: The difficulty grew out of tho election of township officers. When it was found that the radical nominees were elected, Elmore Tyler, an enthusiastic Conservative, exclaimed: "Boys, we're beat; I don't blame you colored people; I blame you white scalawags." A. Woodward, a brother of one of the officers elected, demanded a retraction of Tyler, when Pickens Woodward drew a pistol, which was wrested from him by John II. Holland. A. P. Woodward now drew his pistol, mortally wounding Holland, and the fight then became general. William J. Woodward, father of Pickens and A. P., whipped out a largo knife, and began an indiscriminate assault upon those who were identified with tho conservative party. Attacking Wyatt Tyler, .o inflicted a severe stab upon the neck of tuat gentleman. James Tyler and his brother Joseph also received wounds from the knife In the hands of Wood ward, the former In the side, and the latter in the breast. With his tliHst for blood not yet satiated, Woodward set upon Frank M. Green, and inflicted a severe wound in his side. At this juncture the father of Green, John S. Green, Sr., observing the danger to which his sou was exposed, closed iu with Woodward, who he succeeded in felling to the ground. Whilo Green was pinning Woodward to the earth, A. P. Woodward discharged two shots from his pistol, which took effect iu the left side of (ireen, causing immediate death. Young Wood ward also fired upon Frauk M. Green, wounding him in the luft hand. From tho effect of this wound Green fell, when his antagonist fired at him again, but missed his aim. Two pistol shots, fired by parties unknown, took effect in tho back of A. P. Woodward, producing wounds which, it is thought, must prove fatal. All the parties implicated in this affair were white, tho colored people present taking uo part iu the fight on cither side. 1'lie Nuiiiiiier Iloworf. Tho White Mountains are largely visited. Fifty-dollar parasols, with watches iu the handles, are the latest agony at the watering places. A lady Is considered vulgar at Saratoga who does not appear duriug the day in four different costumes. A handsome blonde at Saratoga wore twen-fy-one new dresses last week, aud sho has just begun. The worst spongers at the seaside are tho hotel-waiters, who obtain no lixed compensation, but are expected to subsist on the sides of their faces. The mystery of the morning hats worn at watering-place breakfasts is said to be the con cealment of "crimps" not yet ready to bo seen of men. Entire suits of fine white French flannel are much iu vogue among young gentlemen at the seaside. They call the Cubans "tropical sparrows" at Saratoga. One of them has just "broken the bank." A vulgar and shoddy lady is detected Imme diately at tho watering-places by appearing at breakfast iu u silk dress and diamonds. There are several thousand visitors at Atlan tic City at tho present time, and tho weather and bathing are both delightful. The fast trains, each making tho trip in one and throe-quarter hours, run to-day, one at two o'clock and the other at a quarter past three o'clock P. M. No bathing accidents have occurred thus far this year.

SECOND EDITION LATEST BY TELEGRAPH. The New Greenbacks Sumner on the Cuban Question The Virginia and Mississippi Radicals Experimenting with the French Cable. FROM WASHINGTON. Tim New (.rrenbnrhN. Pmpatch to The Evening Telegraph. Washington, July 27 The Chief of tin; Bureau of Engraving and Printing in tho Trea sury Department, Mr, G. B. McCartec, has re turned to this city from New York, where ho has been to push forward the work upon the new United States notes of tho denomination of one and two dollars, which will be ready for circulation about the 1st of September. Tho new one dollar notes will have a vignette of Washington and a representation of the dis covery of America by Columbus on the face, in stead of tho vignette of Chief Justice Chase, as on those now in use. Tho new two dollar notes will have a vignette of Jefferson anil a view of the Capitol, instead of the vignette of Franklin on the present ones. Tho plates for those notes have already been engraved at the Treasury De partment. The backs of the "ones" will be printed by the National Bank Note Company of New York, and those of the "twos" by tho American Company of the same city. The de signs for the now fives, tens, twenties, and other denominations have not yet been deter mined upon. Ncntitor Sumner on the t'nbnn QurNtfon. Senator Suinuer has written a letter to a friend here from Nahant, where he is now recruiting his health, iu which he expresses an earnest desire that the administration should continue to pursue its present neutral course regarding the Cuban question. He adds that his sympa thies are warmly enlisted in behalf of the Cubans, but insists that tho importance of our negotiations with Great Britain, which would be compromised just now by the slightest conces sion to them, are paramount to the interests of the revolutionists. lie Is understood to endorse Secretary Fish's proposition to negotiate through General Sickles an opportunity for the Cubans to buy the island for themselves, with tho under standing that the United States shall endorse tho bonds issued for the purchase money, or other wise assist in raising the necessary funds for that purpose. The Virginia Radical. The Wells radicals will have a committee in Washington until after Congress meets, to get ready for tho contest against tho Walker party. They already claim to have got one-half of the Cabinet with them, and they also claim that they have cx-Secrctary Stanton on their side. The .MInmIhmIpiiI Katticaln. The radical Mississippi delegation now here have prepared a statement to show that the con servative movement is supported solely by tho Democracy of that State. They are determined to get the administration to use its patronage against Dent. The Retrenchment Committee, having concluded their Investigation of affairs in the New York Custom House, will leave that city August 1 for San Francisco, via Pacifia Railroad, where they will spend one week in an examination of tho management of the custom house there. The committee have decided that each member shall bear his own expenses of the trip, in order that no accusation may be brought against them of travelling at the expense of tho Government, and to keep up their credit as ad vocates of retrenchment. The railroad compa nies will furnish the travelling economists with a Pullman sleeping-car, which is to take them through to the Pacific coast without change. It is expected that tho entire committee will go. It consists of Senators Patterson, Sehurz, and Thurman, and Representatives Welker, Sheldon, Reading, Jonekes, and Benton. 4 Consolidation Movement.

The entire day yesterday was occupied by the French cable electricians in tests and experiments. Numer ous messages of a private nature have .been transmitted to and received from Brest direct, and the experiment of working with St. Pierre, and repeating from there to Brest, has also been tried. In the latter case about twcnty-tlvo words per minute were transmitted, and on working direct to Brest eighteen words per minute were easily scut. Sir James Anderson arrived, and after wit licssiiig the working of the cable, expressed himself satisfied beyond anticipation. Count tic Faverny, the French Charge d'Affalrcs, and Mr. Watcon, the American agent ol the cable company, were also present during the success ful experiments. During the day a message was read from the Secretary of State, giving assurance that no in terference with the working of the cablo would be made on tho part of the Government, and that business could commence at any time. It is hardly probable that the eatdo will bo ready for business before several days. The land line between here and Boston will not be finished before the middle of the week; but the ground or trench cable between the Hummock and the office in Duxbury village was completed this morning, and as soon as It is in working order messages will eo and come direct from the Bank Building to the extreme foreign end of the cable, the station at the Hummock being cut out, of course. Tho celebration to-day promises to be largely attended, and formal messages of congratulation will probably be exchanged be tween the leading representatives of the Ameri can and French Governments.

A Washington special to the New York Here A says: Secretary Fish is expected to return to-mor row. The State Department, as well as the niemi'urs ol the Cuban Junta, is looking anx iously for intelligence from Gen. Sickles, our Minister to Spain. Whatever may have been the nature of the instructious which he received prior to his departure, there seems to be a gen eral impression in well informed circles that they had some bearing upon Cuba, but precisely to what extent or in what respect It is impossi ble to ascertain. The officials at tho State De partment arc studiously reticent on tho ques tion. The Cubans only say that they know tho Sickles mission has nothing to do with tho an nexation of Cuba. Mr. Lcmus, tho Cuban En voy, probably knows something about the mat ter, but ho and his secretary do not deem it politic just now to divulge anything. Whatever the scheme may be, Secretary Fish is under stood to be tho author of it, and should it prove siitTcssful lu solving the Cuban difficulty he will bo entitled to whatever credit there may be In originuiing it. Minister Sickles, it is stated, was expected to act promptly, and should no unexpected obstacle be thrown iu his way, news of an important character may be received from him at an early day. FIJIAN 12 AH1 (O.nilLKt'l,. Office of the Evening Tki.kohaph,' Tuesday, July 27, 1 in. ! The usual bank statement for the week fails to exhibit any improvement in their condition, but, 011 the contrary, there is another material falling on In the chief element of strength. The loans are less than last week by t0ft,4'.)8; deposits, $377,011 ; and specie, 100,373. The only item Showing au Improve ment is the legal-tender reserve, which lias Increased 1 1 21 ,204. This is an exact reileetlon of the phases of the market from day to day, and places the rose colored comments of some journals in an unfavor able light. The Money market is not iu an easy con dition, and It Is doubtful If, for some weeks to come, currency will be either more abuudaut or cheaper than at present. . The current rates to-day are C(S7 per cent., hut chiefly the hitter, for call loans, and the street rates continue rather tlrm at 8a.l0 per cent, for gilt-edged paper, well secured.

Thefollowlng extracts show the state of the New York money market yesterday : From the Herald. "Th week opened upon a more easy money mar ket, the rate on call to-day being quite uniformly six percent. Some loans at seven per cent., lying , over from last week, were undisturbed, and a few others were made at the same rate to weak houses or upon Inferior collaterals, but these Instances were onset, on the other hand, by exceptional transac tions at (lve per cent, upon prime collaterals. The drift of the market is to still lower tlgures. Tho hesitation Is owing to the recent prevalence ef such extraordinary rates and the willingness of the street to pay what seems comparatively cheap onrs. Capital Is not loth to earn all it can, and the pressure of funds for employment is such as to keep the Interest rate from too suddenly declining. A great deal ot curiosity Is manifested as to the policy which the Secretary of the Treasury will pursue after the 1st of August, particularly in tho gold room. The position of the bunks in holding $.10,000, 0(H) of gold (against $20,000,000 at the same time last tear) fortltles them against the embarrassment trat would otherwise attend the banking move ment in the full, as a result of the loss to them of nearly $20,000,000 of legal tenders, which are supposed to be permanently detained in the South. The purchases of bonds for tho sinking lund will certainly be continued, but the anxiety Is to le irn how extensive w'll he the purchases from the cur rency balance of the Treasury. It Is fair to presume from what Mr. Boutwell hns already done that he will lie guided entirely by his ability to cnntiniin lm purchases. In the winter, when Congress sits, there is a steady drain upon nls currency resources for the thousand and one expenses of the session. Hence he will probably economize tils outlay for bonds by the amount necessary for this contingency. Commercial paper does not show the relaxa tion 111 discounting ra'es which should follow th i cost r working o; the ironev market. Prime busi ness notes at tour months are still quoted eight t eleven per cent. K.en b-okers' sixty day paper passes Very ledoni linger eight per cent. Tin fo clgn exchange market was tinner nn er the an t'clput.on of a better demand forbi'ls, arising our, or the M'urclty of tho larger d'viomlnaMom of gold oln, which are the favorue f r shipment, and are ocjtn ning to comniHDd a premium. "One leading house put up tic ra'.e for sixty day sterling to lloi,, but the range of the maiket was as follows: Sterling, sixty davs' commercial, 1 .,( 109V; good to prime bankers', lOO'.eUlO'if ; short sight, 110'i 110, ; Paris, CO days', 5-17jtf(4 n-lSJif short sight, 6-12H.(n 5 to ; Antwerp, 5-17),; 5-12J. ; Switzerland, fi-17 k.wB-12-Stf ; Hamburg, 3." 30; Amsterdam, 4ii'(n 40 ., ; Frankfort, 40Sl'i40,'i ; Bremen, 7S,(n 79S ; Prussian thalers, 70 y,Tl V. ' ' "Government bonds were dull, but strong, the 'ST's advancing to 121. The London quotation for '02's came at 826 bs a sequence of tho advance in gold. The features were the coupon ten-forties, which rose to 111 y., while a better inquiry for the currency Blxes induced a rise to 108M . "The upward courso of gold, so decided at tho close of last week, was, after some hesitation, con tinued to-day, the price eventually touching 137X, at wfilch, however, It became sluggish and heavy. The heavy shipment of last week keep the market strong. The engagements of specie for to-morrow's steamer were variously reported frun $100,000 to $2.',o,oon. The rate for carrying was from six to five per cent., but one tr msaeti'n occurred at two per cent, and another at, 'Hot' for borrowing, just before Clearing House time. These figures indicate a large 'short' lnterer on the part of those whose all-abiding faith Is in lover gold." Philadelphia Trade Iteport.
