A Girakd Row Improvement. Another im
provement is about belnir made in the Girard
Row, on the north side of (Jhesnut street, be
tween Eleventh and Twelfth. Three more of
the old-time dwelling-houses are about to sue
cumb to the requirements of business and be
altered into stores. Work will be commenced
npon these three about the first of July, at
w Inch time the present leases expire. Fosses
sion cannot be had nntil that time. Already
several applications have been received from
tenants anxious to rent the prospective
stores, though no agreement has yet
been made as to wno snail occupy
them. The 6tores will be of the same ganeral
class as those already finished in that row. They
will be of ample size, the lots being very deep
and the width considerable. The best of work-
mansbin will be put UDon them, so that they
will be comfortable, convenient, durable, and at
the same time beautiful.
From present indications the time is not far
distant when we shall see the entire row trans
formed Into fine nuiform stores. The day of
the Girard now dwelling-houses is about over.
and the day of the Girard store row Is coming
on as fast as the expiring lease will allow
Those already completed give ample credit to

Secretary of War for the recent report of Colonel
Abert of the survey of the Arkansas river. Adopted.
The House resumed as the business of the morn
ing hour the bill reported yesterday by Mr. Lynch,
to revive tne navigation ana commercial interests of
the United States.
Mr. Cullom. who had raised the point of order yes
terday that It mutit be considered In Committee of
the Whole, said he would not Insist on that point If
there was nn understanding that an amendment
could be offered to the bill, and there could be a
fair opportunity for debate.
wr. uncn said he certainly would oe in
clined to admit any amendment that
the gentleman desired to offer, but he could not
consent to leave the bill generally open to all amend
mefits that might he proposed. He should prefer to
let the point or order be insisted upon and decided.
Mr. Lynch said he bad nn disposition to cnt off debate.
Out would allow all tbe latitude ot debate that miirht be
agrees tile to the House.
Air. weues, a member ot tne select committee on tne
subject, sddressed the House in advocacy of the bill.
Mr. r inklenburg opposed tne bill. He was alive to tne
importance of reviving Amerioan commerce; hut was
totally opposed to snhsidies and bounties. The true
remedy was to reduce the burdens that depress that in
terest as weli as every other industry of theoouutry. The
evil was an eices of the policy of so-called protection
whir b tne Dill proposed turtnor to emend, ir their in
terests were to euocnmb their epitaph would be, "Mere
lies American industry and commeroe, dead of too much
protection."
Alter explanation by Mr. Sargent, showing that the
bill was entered in the interest of settlers, tbe bill was
passed.
Mr. Schenck moved to go Into eoramittee on the Tariff
bill.
Mr. Wood, before tne queMion was pat, asked Mr.
Fcbpnck whether, in view of the fact that tbe bill had
been three and a half months before tbe House, that only
twentr one panes out ot fifty bad boen disposed of. that it
was now late in tbe session, that many appropriation bills
w re yet enacted upon, and thst there were many ques
tion! ot great importance fot undetermined, and that
even if the bill should pass tno House, it could not possi
bly pass the Senate, he would not let the bill either he
recommitted or laid aiide, so tbe House could go to prac
tical legtsiuuun r
Mr. Schenck replied that he was prepared at all times
to attempt at least to do bis duty, which was. as chairman
of the ('omraittee of 'Ways and Means, to present its work
to the House and endeavor to get action upon it.
Aa to how Ions the House mishtlbe oconoied on theTtiill
( he gentleman could get more information on that sub
ject lrom gentlemen immediately around him. If the bill
were fairly considered, and if no amendments were
offered hut such as was substantial in their character and
were offered in good faith, with a view to mm lower
duties, he believed tboy could get through the bill in tne
next three or four daya easily. If tbey could reason from
probabilities, considering the nature of the remaining
pages ot the bill, it might bo considered throe-fourths
finished in point of time. The had passed over almost
everything that could be made the subject of consider

id not intend to vote for any taiitt at all. and ho sug
gested that these members should refrain from discussing
or onerinir amendment s ana reserve lucmsoives to vote

He tnougnt it wonia oe cnown in a aay or two, wnon
the House would probably reach a conclusion. Ho there
fore proposed to go on the morning, not with discussing
Erol am. lues, duo witn tne oonxiaerauon or tne bill itsolt.

The House thereupon went into oommittee on the Tariff
hill. Mr Wheeler in the chair- Various amendments
were r tiered to tbe nickel paragrapn and were rejected,

On a motion to close debate on the Daraffraoh rolatlnir

Mr. Allison did rot propose to oner any factions amend

"The clique movement in gold noticed yesterday
was more marked to-day, and the leading specula
tors of the street are again enlisted for a 'bull'
campaign in the Gold Room. Their operations are
based remotely on the declining scale of cotton ex
ports, which may be looked for in the Interval to the
arrival of the new crop next September. - Meantime
tbe foreign bankers have advauced the rate of ex
change to within a small fraction of the specie-ship
ping point, while tue stocks oi produce ami cotton
liable to export on a rise In gold are not so exten
sive as to materially interfere with their plans.
Moreover, the situation in France Is purposely exag
gerated intu one of alarm for the future peace of tbe
empire, and has produced a strong feeling In favor
or holding gold against tne contingencies or a popu
lar outbreak. Furthermore, the London mouey
market Is working so closely as to very likely induce
an advance In the bank rate within the next few
weeks. At home the fear of a Funding bill this
sewsion Is entirely disslpatf d.
"1 oe Assistant Treasurer soiu one million or uov-
ernnient gold to-day. The bids were for a total of
over $5,3iK,0ou, showing the clique movement above
re 1 erred 10.
"The leading bankers again advanced their rates
for foreign exchange, the market being almost de
void of commercial bills, while there Is a total ab
sence of iKHid bills.
"The demand for national securities was again
very active, aud constituted the feature of the day
next to the excited dealings in railway shares. The
buyers were encouraged by the firm tone and ad
vance in gold, and the more cautious classes of
spcciilutorx, who are lotn to take the risks of violent
fluctuations in tho railway list, were large pur
chasers. The various banking aud moneyed Institu
tions have also bought very heavily, in anticipation
of au unusually easy money market during the
balance of the spring and summer, tno Government
list affording a more ecure Investment at six per
cent. thHn is attainable otherwise. The '67s, leading
the market, touched 1H7,. Trices reacted with the
decline at the ritock Kxor.ange.
"The rate on call again reflected the abundance
of money now prevailing in the city. Borrowers on
stock coimterala were freely supplied at five per
cent., and the Government dealers at four. Frime
hoiiK.-H with choice collaterals were able to borrow
11s low ltd four per rent, iiufore tho close of banking
hours runncy was ottered In excess of the demand at
five per et 111., aud large balances weut over unin

AlnrmlnK Ramon In Porto It Iro Proclamation!
Havana. Mar 7 The lournair of this citT
have recently published the following proc'a
matlon of the Governor of Porto Rico. It 19
strongly indicative that troubles are anticipated
in that island:
SUPERIOR POLITICAL GOVBRWMBNT.
To the Inhabitants of this Province: The to .
nacious enemies of your repose disseminate,
with the most mischievous intention, a grave
notice, like to affect public order on one of the
days consecrated to our sacred religion ana to
commemorate the sublime mystery of the re
demption of the human race. The Holy Week:
has passed; to the prayers and tears of the
l nurcn and 01 tne faithful have succeeded those
fiure ana innocent joys which Easter always
nspires among Christian people, and neither
me ngnier snaaow 01 sorrow nor the most insig
nificant excess has come to disturb the peace,
truly Octavlan, in which this island rejoices.
Porto Kicans Do not give credit to the false
notices which are circulated solely with the ob
ect of interrupting mercantile operations,
create fear among the people In the country,
and bring bankruptcy near. Such like rumors
in every country of the world have the unfortu
nate privilege of disturbing the spirit, of alarm
ing weak people, and slowly destroying the
prosperity of localities.
Let those who invent these, in foreign lands
or In the heart of our common country, nndor
stand that while the government watches over
your families and your fortunes, these paid-for
notices, produced for the purposes of destruc
tion, will not be converted into acts of alarm.
A strong and vigilant government has taken all
necessary precautions, and you may be solemnly
assured that if your eternal enemies united to
bring the result of tbe delirious visions of their
exalted brains to this land, the punishment will
be as terrible as the magnitude of the crime,
for the rich treasures of Spanish clemency are
exhausted.
Inhabitants of this province, be tranquil, and)
confide in the patriotism of yoar Governor.
