The Emma No. 3 loft this port about 1 o'clock Saturday morninjr, with a moderate cargo of plg-lron,Krocerles,wlne, and four hundred bales ol cotton, half of, which ww for Evansvllle. The following persons are known to have been on her: W. G. 8jcnee, D. Klncade, J. K. Forbes, of Lauderdale county, Adam Pfulsler, f Owcnsboro, Kentucky, and four wood-chop-pere from Clueinnatl, none of whose names appear as known to have been saved. The first three names were farmers, having just disposed of their cotton, and were on their way home. Pfeister had engaged to manage a plantation In Arkansas, and had fcone to bring his wife and children. The woodehoppers' names cannot be ascertained, A party of young ladies from Danville, Kentucky, were also reported to have taken passage, but did not: they left her on Boturday evening on the St. Louis packet. Fiom additional particulars, we learn that when the boat took tiro, Captain Maratta, with his brother, lowered the yawl, intending to place the ladies in it and take them ashore, and not withstanding the fact that he stood in It with a cocked revolver, warning them to keep away until bo bad landed the ladies, when he would return, the passengers and several of the deck hands made a rush for and swamped it, all who were in It at tLe time going to the bottom, ex cept the captain, who seized a fender aud again resumed the work of saving the passengers by building floats. His conduct, as well as that of the other offi cers of the boat, and the oUicers of the steamer Columbian, which passed the wreck two hours after the accident occurred and rescued the sur vivors. Is hltrhlv commended. The oilicersof tho Belle Memphis report the wreck as still smoking when they passod. They also state that the accident occurred one mile from Randolph's Landing, that being the nearest point where skiffs were obtainable; also, that several persons were saved by citizens in that vicinity, and were, with the remainder of the survivors, taken to Cairo. About 10 o'clock A. M., on the 19th, she struck a snag in the chute of Island No. 35, and com menced sinking sloffly, remaining on the snag, despite all efforts to back her off and get her to shore. Every effort was made to stop the leak without success, when arrangements were made to send passengers and crew ashore in the boats. The were all safely placed in the yawl and as many passengers as it was deemed vafe were plated in charge of Walter Maratta, lerk. before these arrangements were com plete, the steamer careened, upsetting the stoves and setting fire to the cabin. As the flames were seen bursting forth, Captain Maratta and the officers could not restrain the affrighted crowd, who jumped into the yawl before it could be sent beyond their reach, and was swamped, and all on board were probably lost, as the yawl turned bottom upward, and just then the flames drove those remaining on board to other parts f the boat, and the yawl was seen no more. Efforts were belnj made at the same time to launch the life-boat from the hurricane deck, but the flames prevented that, and then doors, planks, bales of cotton, and debris even made use -of, by all who could, to reach the shore. Pilot Attenborougb, Mate Caleb Maratta, and the captain assisted everybody possible with such means of saving themselves, and after all were gone, Maratta reached the wheel, and re mained until taken off by skiffs from shore. Mate Caleb Maratta, Pilot Attenborougb, three passengers, first chambermaid, and first cook found barely room on the narrow strip of the forecastle, sheltered from the flames by casks of wine, which they prevented burning by throw ing on water with their hats, until they were taken off by skiffs from shore. As there were no bouses nearer than one mile, no assistance could reach them until the boat vi a.n bunk, aDd all above the water consumed except the narrow strip spoken of. The people on shore rendered every assistance possible, picking up those in the river and help ing those already on the shore. The steamer Columbian, Captain William Barnes, bound for St. Louis, arrived two hours afterward, and picked up every one who could be found, and brought them to Cairo. Many were without shoes, coats, or hats, having thrown them off to assist themselves in reaching shore. The officers of the Columbian supplied these necessaries, and treated all so kindly that the survivors are loud in their praise. It is pos sible that some of the missing were taken to v farm houses, somo miles from the river, and are safe. The steamer's hull lies in eighteen feet water, with her bow still on the snag, about eighty feet lroin the Tennessee shore, above the point, In the foot of the chute. BURNED AT THE STAKE. One Hundred and fifty Ant mala PerUa by Ftre In a Dairy Heavy Ltn Canaed by an Incendiary. The Cincinnati Enquirer of Fob. 21 says: We mentioned yesterday morring that as we went to press the light ef a large fire was visible in the northeastern horizon. The light was a strange one, and, as seen from the river bank at the foot of Lawrence street, might almost have been mistaken for the aurora borealis. The phe nomenon was caused by the burning of the barn and stables of Washington Dairy, No. 1, owned by B. Cavagna & Son, the well-known grocers of No. 31 West Fifth stroet. The farm is situ ated on Dock creek, on the Montgomery road, opposite the camp-nxeetlng ground, about four miles from Cincinnati and one mile this side of Sharpsburg. The Dairy used to look not unlike a Florida town as one approached it in the distance, with its neat residence, oifthouses, and extensive stables. There was one horse stable one hun dred and thirty feet in length by fifty in width, and forty-five feet high, the upper portion being used for the storage of hay. ' The cattlo stables were three in number, one used for the milch icows being about one hundred and fifty by fifty feet, and the others occupied by Mr. Cavagna s prize bulls and cattle wintering, small substan tial buildings. There was also a large barn stored with grain, middlings, etc. The horso stable and cow stable which are destroyed were worth 18, 000. It was 2 o'clock' on Sunday morning when "Andrews," a man who bos boon in Mr. Ca vagna's employ for ten or twelve years, was awakened by a great light and the barking of the dogs, and discovered that the three fated buildings were in flames. They seemed to have biased up at once, eacu oe.ing already on fire in several places, leaving, in connection with the quiet Sunday morning hour, little doubt that an incendiary had done the devilish work. To arouse Mr. Anthony ' Cavagna, who, with his wife, resided on the farm, and the ten or twelve hands employed there, was the work of a mo ment, but it was seen at once that all efforts to save the cows would be useless. A strong wind was blowing and the entrances to the stables were already wrapped in names, The cisterns were inside the stables and could not tie apprcacnea. uno desperate euort was made to release some of the 121 much cows, of line breed, that were being roasted olive. ' Seve ral were released, but only one could be gotten out. the remaining 1:20 being burnt alive. ' The horse stable could not be entered, over 200 tons of bay, stored aloft and in tho connecting barn burning with frightful rapidity and heat, and forbidding near approach, i ourteen of the fine large mules for which Mr. Cavagna has been long noted, and for a pair of which he recently refused tlOOO, three line colts, and fifteen fine calves, wero consumed. With this portion of tt e property went several wagons, ten or twelve set- of harness, fifty or sixty tons ol grain and feed, plows and farming Implements of all kinds. A stable, containing two cows in process of fat tening, stood near the bull stable, which fortu niitely lay about thirty-five fleet to wludward, and whs protected by dint of throwing bucket fulls of water upon it. The residence, also to windward, was likewise kept drenched. The bulls, three in number, and valued at t'AKX) each, were led out of danger. In ono hour and a half nothing but burning embers remained at Washington Dairy No. 1, long known favorably in Cincinnati by the quality of its milk and butter. At 5 o'elock Sunday morning Mr. Oxvagna was aroused by a loud knocking at the front door of his residence, and informed of his loss by the milkman who had awakened him. lie drove with his son Pierre at once to the hideous scene hideous because amid the blackening embers lay the still burning carcasses of his favorite horses, mules, and cows. It was a sick ening sight, and came near breaking down the old man's spirit, for many wero favorite ani mals, ami soimc of rare breed that money could scarcely replace. CUR A. The. l'nptaln-.eneral and the Vnliintrrrtt -Ke-eent Trouble In ;ardcnna-Exeeutlon of Cuban 1'rlnonera. Havana, Saturday, Feb. 19 The irrepres sible volunteers are beginning to "haul in their horns" to a certain extent, and they are no longer permitted to have their ownway In every thing. KodaB has not surrendered to them in a single instance, and if the Spaniards are once enabled to retire their troops from the seat of war, or if a respectable force of regulars should be quartered In Havana, the Government will quietly but firmly take the power once more in its own hands. Rodas will not permit the rabble to constitute Itself judge, jury, accuser, and hangman. Seven volunteers who had com mitted various crimes, from attempts to assassi nate to burglary, were sent by the last steamer to Spain as prisoners for Ccuta; among them was the drum major of the 7th Battalion. Five members of the 5th Volunteer Battalion who were connected with the cowardly and brutal assassination of Oreenwald are in the Cabana; their friends go from house to house aud threaten to wreak vengeance on the persons of such as should dare to declare against the assassins; but, nevertheless, I have no doubt that the Govern ment will be enabled to accumulate sufficient testimony in order to shoot the principals con nected with the assassiqation. ! THE TROIHILK IN CARDENAS. The row In Cardenas, or rather the one at tempted, ended very ludicrously. The Gov ernor and people demanded that the Govern ment grant the necessary permission to hold a fair, which was acceded to. But the Governor of Cardenas, instead of holding simply a fair, sold permission to some gamblers to opcu their establishments, and monte, faro, and other hazard games were openly carried on. Tho Captain-General heard of it, and immediately sent to Col. Arnaor.the Govcrnor.an order to hold himself in readiness, and report himself at Santiago de Cuba for further orders. The vol unteers hearing of this action, sent a telegram to the Captain-General requesting him to annul his order, and declaring that they would not have any other Governor except the one who had just accepted bribes to allow gambling. The Governor himself telegraphed to the Captain General that evening that six thousand people, between volunteers and cilizous, were then before the palace, all of them anxious that be (Arnaor) should remain. Rodas replied coolly: "Never mind the six thousand ; you will take the first tiain In the morning and come to Havana, de livering vour command on receipt of tills. If any thing Is 'committed contrary to law In your city, I shall take measures to have the offenders seriously punished." Did the volunteers rebel ? Nothing of the sort. Tho commanders of the different volun teer battalions sent a telegram to Rodas on the following morninz. disavowing, on behalf of themselves and their commands, any complicity the telegram saia to nave oeen iorwarueu. Rodas grinned, and that ended the matter, except that Colonel Arnaor, as an old friend and acquaintance of Rodas, has beeu more severely punished than any other officer would have been. TUB SCHOONER HERALD. The Nassau schooner Herald, which drifted on the reefs near Gibarra on the 10th inst., during a heavy norther, had thirty-six Cubans on board, among tnem two coiorea men ana a uninatnan. The expedition was commanded by General Goicourla, of Lillian, etc., fame, and if the norther had not interfered, the schooner and her cargo would undoubtedly have been lauded at runt a de Aiuius. me captain oi mo scnooner was Ely Camaeho, the former Purser of the steamer Comanditario, which was captured by him, and then rccaptuaed by the Spaniards, and s now doing duty as a gunooat unaer tne name of the Gorrion. The Gibarra volunteers, after landing such arms from the wrecked schoouer as they could get out, went in search of tho fili busters, and managed to meet them at the Rcs balona and Sierra de Socarena. They killed seven and captured four, who were executed at liolguin on the nin inst. one ot the four had been u clerk in the Havana Post Office, two were telegraph operators in Havana, and the fourth was a ship carpenter from Rcgla. After landing they were rciniorcea oy ten Cubans, commanded by Priscilliano Cardet, who was killed in the first encounter. Tho filibusters resisted bravely, killing two Gibarra volunteers and several sol diers, besides a number wounded. It is stated by the Diario that the remainder of the expedi tion was surrounded in the Sierra de Socarono, and that they would not be able to escape. Those who were shot stated that every man on discmbaiklng took only a rlllo and twenty-one roundd of ammunition. SANTA ANNA. The veteran Santa Anna is still in the city. A dan is maturing to smuggle him out of the cltv by some means and enablo him to reach Mexico. Should his friends attempt to do this, they would find but very little difficulty in carrying out the idea. Should this not be done, how ever, Santa Anna may be found within a few days in Nassau. THE NEW GUNBOATS. The new gunboats have replaced the men-of- war which have done duty as cruisers aud blockadors. TLe Astuto, cruising on the south side, discovered an insurgent camp near Santa uruz del sur, ana went mere lor troops, me gunboat could not go near enough to shell, so tne troops were eniuarKea on a ngnier, a cannon Dlaced on it. ana tue camn attacked on the morn ing of the 11th, resulting in the killing of two Cubans, tne nurning ot several nouses, and tne capture of a Cuban yacht, which, as tho JJiario observes, caused great satisfaction in Santa Cruz, as this yacht bad kept all passing mer chant vessels In a continual state of alarm. How is this? Tho JJlario. or any other Spanish jour nal, never mentioned that an old sailboat could frighten Spanish sailors, and that the Cuban squadron was no myth. But if the JJiario would tell what it knows It would say that over twenty five craft of different tonnage are making regu lar trips between Nassau, Jamaica, Haytl, and the coasts of this island, and that some of them beat the Spanish Correo in tho regularity of their trips. Tho telegraph between India and England still makes very bad work of its despatches. Captain Shcrard Osborn, a few weeks ago, re ceived tho following: "Bombay, Jan. 2(5. Children arrived. Wanted company with Eastern off Elgin Bay, Jan. 2. Well. Crulkshauk," which required some little translation before telling its simple story, that the Chlltern had reached Bombay after parting company with the Great Eastern off Algoa Bay. THE THEATRICAL TANIC. Another Hon Oollnnned Tammany 6oea I tider Three nuianliv In One Wffk. The few people who delight in the naked drama, and who assembled last evening at the fiortals of Tammany to enjoy the unadorned umry of "Tho Seven," found that stately insti tution unlit and unopened. The calciums were out, the big banner was down, the coronet of gas was extinguished. A couplo of disconsolate bill boys stood against the doors, who said they were waiting to see Mr. Grovcr. It seems that Tammany was closed because the "Glorious Seven" did not draw people enongh tho night before to pay the gas bills. A notice was stuck up on the stage early in the morning yesterday to the effect that the place would be closed for two weeks. The company, who bad not been paid for the current week, and several of whom claim back dues, were naturally agitated, and during the day raado numerous applications at the bnsiuess office to see Mr. Grovcr, but without effect. This col lapse was not unexpected In other quarters. The creditors of the establishment made a complaint that nolody was ever to bo found; that tho office was guarded by nsbers, who telegraphed up stairs and reported Mr. Grovcr invariably to bo out. It was further said by interested parties that the institution had cleared $40,000 the first two months, but that misman agement had squandered the income. Various and curious rumors about the establishment were afloat for months past, when the grand Issue of stock was made, and tho town was aston ished ono morning by the reduplicated injunc tion to invest Its money In the New York A muse men tCompany. ! About six hundred dollars' worth of this stock was sold, and each note bore one or more cou pons of admission to the N. V. A. Company's places of amusement, tjulto a shock was ex perienced on Saturday night last when the holders of these coupons were refused admit tance to Tammany, and were told that the house had been sold. This proceeding is understood to have outraged Mr. Jarrctt's sense of pro priety, and he made a vigorous remonstrance with the director, and to have Indirectly brought about tbc closing np of the establishment. Mr. Grovcr Is now out of the concern, and Is said to have left tho city yesterday for Philadelphia. The members of the company and tho bill boys feel aggrieved of course, aud the holders of stock are understood to be watching the market nervously. An enterprising reporter of penny paper, hearing that lammany was closed, undertook to Interview one of these same bill-boys, but failing to get any definite information, started off to the hotel on the corner of Twelfth street and Broadway, to find Rose Massey. That member of the "Glorious Seven" was attiring herself for the Leiderkranz ball, and had to conduct the interview throngh a half-mile speaking tube, which interview amounted to this: Reporter Were any of the company nt Tam many paid? voice i es, one. Reporter Who was that? Voice Alice Harrison, "Go 'way; I'm getting my back hair rolled." The summary failure of the entertainment at Tammany to draw a respectable audience is another warning to managers trial iNow lorn is not vet prepared for the blackguard forms of amusement which have found favor in European capitals. To-day's World. A SAD STORY. A Newark Damsel Relerta an Honest Hnltor and Vd a Felon The Bride of an Hoar Itecontra a Kixvln Maniac. Seven years ago, in tho city of Newark, N. J., soon after the breaking out ot the war, among the soldiers quartered at camp reiinguuysca was a young man ot rather dashing appearance, named Charles Riley, or "Plucky" Riley, as he was called by nis comrades and acquaintances. Among the visitors was a young gin just merging into blooming, prepossessing wman hood, numcd Hannah Dolan. In tho ordinary course of events pretty Hannah . beeamo acquainted with young Riley, whose offhand manner, that passes In a certain class of society for manliness, had tho effect on Hannah of effacing all proper remembrance of a fine young fellow, a sailor to whom she was betrothed. His name was Edward Boal, a boatswain s mate in the navy. In due time Hannah and her "bould soger boy" wero loined in the bands of matrimony by a clergyman in the presence of ncr menus. Tho newly married couple started from the scene of the wedding in a carriuge en route for a honeymoon trip, for which Riley had obtained leave of absence, but bad not been gone more than an hour when the carriage was overhauled by the police detectives, and the groom-elect arrested and lodged in jail to await a trial on several grave charges, among which was for gery and bounty-jumping. He was tried, found guilty, ana sentencea to serve a long term in the State Prison. The young bride, as may well be imagined, was driven almost to distrac tion, and to add to her overflowing cup of misery came tho intelligence that Riley had already a wife living at the time of his marriage to her. About eighteen months afterwards her first love, young Beal, returned from sea. He mar ried a woman considerably older than himself, Hannah's relatives allege, out of shocr spite. Tills last disappointment was the lost straw that broke the camel's back. Poor Hannah was gradually losing her reason, and recently became at times a raving maniac, so that it was dan gerous to live with her. On Tuesday night she became so violent in her actions, and threaten ing to murder herself and everybody else, that her sister, Mrs. Isaac M. Demott, of No. 03 Newark street, with whom she lived, was com pelled to call in an officer and have the unfortu nate maniac removed to the station-house. Thither she was taken, and the necessary papers were made out, and the poor victim of man's deceit, cruelty, and inhumanity removed to the State Asylum at Trenton. Riley is said to have died in the State Prison since his incarceration. THE CHINESE. Ittrr from John Htuart Mill. The San Francisco Bulletin publishes the fol lowing lettor from John Stuart Mill to a friend in that city, explaining his views on Chinese immigration: Avionon, Thursday, Jan. 20, 1870. Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge your letter of No vember 21. I think you must have been misinformed as to the purport of the letter which I addressed, on the 23d of October, to a California citizen who had asked my opinion on the subject of the Chi nese immigration. I certainly said that the settlement, in large numlors, of a population in a lower state of civilization, and willing to work for a lower rate of remuneration, would have a tendency to deteriorate the condi tion of the native laborer for wages, aud would, so far, on general principles, justify restraints on Immigration; but I urired. as a greatly pre ferable course, to endeavor, by education, to raise the Chinese population to the levol of tho American; and it Is with trrcat pleasure I learn from your letter that this is already being at tempted with somo success. The only mea sure of distinction which I did advocate was tho enforcement of strlngont laws against lutroduciiig Chinese under contract to work for particular persons, which is a form of compulsory labor that is, oj slavery. I should greatly deprecate the institution of a Chinese for an American population In all the departments of manual labor, the Chinese re malning what thojp are; but I distinctly stated lu my letter that so long, at least, as the bulk of the Immigrants return eventually to their own country, "tho opportunity given to numerous Chinese of becoming familiar with better and more civilized habits of life is one of the beet chances that can bo opened np for the improve in nt of the Chincso in their own country, and one which it does not seem to me that it would be right to withhold from them." 1 am, dear sir, yours, very faithfully, J J. 8. Mux. ANOTHER STORM IS WALL STREET. 4 Sold Propping to lltt-A Keene of Kflte nient The Market Kooning Dawn of Its Own WrlahU Wall street was treated to a lively sensation in the Gold Room yesterday. It vividly recalled the tempestuous scenes which characterized the roemorablo September financial equinoctial. The transactions were on a scale of great mag nitude, Aggregating many millions, and were conducted with intense excitement. The ex treme heaviness of tho price on Wednesday night gave Indications of a still more feverish market yesterday. At an early hour a number of operators hastened to throw cverboard their gold purchased a higher figures. The effect was a quick decline of nearly one per cent., when the bears began offering large amounts, which It was soon apparent the street wonld.not purchase at current prices.' Tho pre sent condition of the market is a novel one, and entirely unlike tho Septembor whirlwind. Then, the large Importing interest was short of gold; but now it is loaded up at prices ranging from 1U0 down to 120. . Thc'.importcrs, soon nftcr tho severe lesson of September hist, determined they would not be again caught in the meshes of Wall stroet specu lation, and consequently commenced buying gold for future requirements, preferring to incur tbc risks of a decline to the sharp twist which a bull movement might devise. The short inte rest, therefore, of the commercial classes, which has heretofore been tho chief basis for a suc cessful upward speculation, Is on the bull side; while the operators in the Gold Room have re versed their tactics, nnd are chiefly ranged with the cliques operating for a decline The market yesterday consequently exhibited but little streugth, as, in fact, a majority of tho specu lators In the room arc short. The clique formed for the purpoe of advanc ing the market kept themselves aloof from the transactions of the Room, each combination being indisposed to rally prices, lest some clique loaded up at higher figures might take advan tage of any rise to sell off. This apprehension has also prevented new combinations being formed to check the downward tendency, and hence the market has not onlv received no on- position to its decline, bnt has been really assisted by the temporary withdrawal of parties speculating lor a successtui upward movement The weakness of a large number of operators in the Gold Room also prevents any attempts at checking the decline; and the bears therefore appear to have the market entirely under their control. Tho principal short interest created yesterday aiternoon was made by active purchases lor lm porters, who appeared anxious to average pre vlous investments at higher figures, as well as being attracted by the haavy decline. Tho market at the close left off heavy, and a further decline to-day would seem probable. A. 1 Hun, to-day. HOLD R0BRERY. The Vice-President of a New Jersey llank Kobbed of Over Seven Thousand Dollars An Adroit Thief. Yesterday afternoon a bold robbery was perpe trated in the Bub-.treasury building, by wnicu the adroit thieves netted over $7000. The vic tim of the robbery is Mr. William Dunham. Vice-President of the National Bank of New Brunswick, N. J., who came to this city yester day for the purpose of transacting some busi ness on behalf of that bank. He visited several offices and monetary insti tutions, the Park National Bank among the number. When Mr. Dunham left the Park Bank he had in his possession a morocco travel ling satchel, containing over $7000 in United States coupon bonds, aud currency amounting to nearly $3 JO. He proceeded direct from the Park Bank to the office oi the Sub-Treasury, which is situated at the corner of Nassau and Wall streets. Ho entered the room devoted to the redemption of currency, and placed the mc rocco Eatchel containing the bonds and cur rency on a desk. At this juncture a stranger stepped np to him and directed his attention to a set of printed rules posted up against tho wall. The old gen tleman turned about to read the card, and when he had finished the perusal he turned again and reached for his satchel, bnt it had disappeared. Mr. Dunham raised an alarm, but the thieves had decamped. It is supposed that the stranger who called his attention to tho rales was the man who had stole the satchel, and had doubtless followed Mr. Dunham from the Park Bank, waiting an opportunity to obtain possession of the satchel. The bonds contained lu the satchel are described as follows: Ono bond of 1804. . . .$1000'Twclve bonds of 1807.13000 One bond of 18B.V... lotio TUree bonds of 18tf7. 150 Three bonds of 1667. 8(XH Two bonds of 1SCJ.. looo' Total 17350 It was subsequently ascertained that two strangers entered the office immediately after Mr. Dunham, and these men are supposed to have stolen the satchel and contents. There are no detectives on the floor in which the office where the robbery was committed Is situated, aud this room can be reached without passing through tho rotunda where the deteetivos are usually stationed. iV. 1".

' ' "The excitement in financial circles 'to-day re. colled the days of last September, when every eye was airccieu to tue nuciuaimnB on me gom tuai. The galleries of the Cold Room were, as tlicu, thronged by an anxious crowd, while the amphi theatre was dense with brokers. . - "The feverish tone of the market at the opening; the feeling being the bequest of the previous day's decline prepared the deolers for a still further downward movement The first regular quotation was 117,, from which tho priee run rapidly down to lie, a vision of specie payments within a week, almost startling the terrified 'bulls' ont of their senses. There are hundreds of men lu Wall street Americans by birth and vaunt who, paradoxically, are always on the -bull- side of gold, and are ever belittling the country, the Government, and the finances. Such people are tho victims of the pre sent decline. In the long list of failures during the winter there wero many houses with this same ' gloomy mental view of the Government who were : i constantly looking for the utter demoralisation of the currency and a rise in gold to enormous figures. I All these classes of commercial speculators and gold ' i gamblers have been shipwrecked and laid np high . , and dry by the sudden subsidence of the premium on gold. The market had two distinct movement - ( to-day. It first went off to Ui on the sale of t 'long' gold, which was literally poured upon the i market. It will be remembered that In the bank statement last week the curious discrepancy be- ' ) tween the small loss of specie by the banks and the i customs payments of the week was explained on , ; the hypothesis that the decline of gold below 120 had theu brought out vast stores of gold hoarded in lamllles, In merchants' safes, and like private ' sources. This forenoon there were large sales of the i same kind of gold. The effect was the decline to ; llrtjr, the speculators selling out as weiU In the afternoon the price reacted to 117, but upon the re- 1 ceipt of the news that the (Senate had unanimously ' - ( adopted a resolution declaring against further in- , nation of the currency, and on its becoming known that Secretary Itoutwell had bought one million , r of bonds at the Sub-Treasury In addition to the - -million solicited, another gcnil-panlc set In and the price tumbled to lie.',', which is the lowest since -t August, 1862. Inasmuch as the general rate paid for 'carrylog' to-day was 4,',.viB per cent., tho market ' seems as yet without a short interest. Exception- ' ally, as high as seven percent, was paid to have gold 1 carried, which was two per cent above tho rate for , money on call. The gold sold within the past few : days has simply passed into the hands of a new line' of buyers, who, as they are fresher in the market and have unimpaired margins, can make a better fight: but as the demand for gold is limited to the few hundred thousand dollars requisite daily to pay customs, and as exchange Is without tone or llrmnees despite the decline, the market closed weak at the usual reaction from so great a fall. It was even said that Secretary Houtwell' is preparing sta tistics to show that our exports for the expired six mouths of the current fiscal year are thirty million In excess of our imports. It Is not stated, however, whether the exports Included shipments of five twenties, the quotation for which advanced to 90 in London to-aay, ana, with the nenate resolution, assisted In the 'break' to 1101,'. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows: Gold cleared fS7,44ft,0O0; gold balances, f 1,378,301; cur rency balances. $1,700,792. , . "In the Government list there was again a sympa thetic movement with gold, the decline of one and a half per cent In which produced a decline or about a half per cent, in the newer issues. In the old bonds the 81 's quotations were for a time over a half percent higher than gold, which Is the first time sluce our great national debt was created that 1 our bonds have gone beyond par m gold." . , ,t ,: ,i , , New York Money and Stock market. .
