It was Bismarck who gave the order that there should be no halt on the march to Paris. The King acquiesced, though his Gene rals favored looking after MacMahon first and taking Paris afterwards. The Parisians defy the Enemy to come on. and assert that they will never see the inside of the city except as prisoners French Trophies In Berlin. Brussels, Aug. 20.

French Successes. The reports ot a French victory at Stenay end a Prussian repulse at Verdun are con firmed. The Invading Wave. The appearance of a division of the enemy between Kheims and Sowsons would seem to indicate that the invading wave will therefore come upon us by the valleys of Aisne and Oise, Paris Well Fortlned.

At the Ministry I am informed that there is talk of removing tne administration to Tours, or beyond the Loire, during the siege of Farfs. This would be at once prudent and sensible.

Yesterday morning the Coroner was notified to bold an Inquest upon the body of a female in fant, apparently about one month old, found at the depot of the Philadelphia, dcrmantown and JNorrietown nanroaa company, JNinth and Green streets.

Fourth street. Upon an investigation Into the facts of the case I Bnd the accident was not from coal oil, but from an article called non-explosive humi, wniuu in umiiiNK inn uenzine, or a mixture of benzine and other ingredient b. If persons will con tinue to purchase fluids for burning in lamps of this character, after so many repeated warnings through the press of this city, they must expect accidents to occur. Most of the explosions which have happened are not from coal ol), but from the nse of the abovn. described fluid s, which, In the opinion of courts, do not come witnin me Bcope or r.tie act of Assembly, or I should have long since endeavored to put a stop to their sale.

Herald, "While the volume of business the past week was far below the average, and while the markets out side of gold were seldom so Inactive, the present inert influences affecting the financial situation are of more than usual interest. It is this singular con trast between the gravity of the situation and the quietness of the street that commands a'.iention. It shows that Wall street Is like tho world at largo. It needs agitators and leaders to Influ ence movements based upon the causes which otherwise lie Inoperative. Were it not for the great captains of finance who sw;op mto and through the street at Intervals the operation ol natural laws would be a prosy matter, and specula tors of limited eapital weuld seek other fields for the trial of their luck. Hence it is that at a snaton when the watering places have not yet lost their attraction for the great leading spirits of speculation the Wall street market, respond but fitfully, if at all, to the change, in the cuvrent of speculative Influences. 'In such a condition of things It Is easy to under stand that speculative transactions have of late been generally consummated In the Gold Room, the speculative Bpirit there finding an opportunity to try its fortunes upon a medium or more shirting value than elsewhere presented In the vloinlty of the Stock Exchange. But even In th s dirc-'fion the venture of capital has been of limited amount; for the opportunities of rapid movement have teeii almost counterbalanced by the risk of the under taking, the current week exhibiting a U :klenesg in the iluctuatlon of the gold premium which has put all calculation at defiance. The earliest sale of gold on Monday were as 114?, from which, despite largo contracts on the short side, there was an advance to 117, at which point the same short Interest was deceived into the belief that gold was destined to go back among the 'twenties and a further rise tolls was occasioned by the cover ing of the original short sales. The legitimate de mand ceasing at this figure, there was an eventual relapse to 116V. Here was a movement or between 3 or 4 per cent,, the gainers In which were so by pare chance. The check to speculation produced by it Is reflected in the closing dullness or the gold mar ket and in the dwindling down of the clearances from a hundred to only forty millions daily. The rise and fall followed In some measure the changing aspect of the warlike situation In Europe; but their general Inconsistency was betrayed by the timidity which rollowed the ultcrnate reports that pools had been formed on the one hand to advance and on the other to depress the price of gold. The short Inte. rest at the beginning of the week, based npon an expected speedy settlement of the war by the Prus sian conquest of Paris, and reflected In high borrow ing rates for cash gold, whs intimidated into cover ing by the report of tho organization of a powerful bull' clique. A 'long' interest, tempted by the same report, found its bauds full of gold just at the mo ment that another report was circulated of the formation of a powerful 'bear pool. Ihe conse quence was a sharp decline In the price and great loss to the speculators, who were anorded another opportunity for verifying the truth of the saying that 'Wall street is a hard place to make money in.' "The question, however, which absorbs moat In terest, and now constantly exercises the mind of Wall street, is the future or the money market in the interval to the cessation or the rail demand rroin the South and West. Attention has been particularly directed to this matter by tho steady decline la the resources cr the banks, whose surplus beyond the legal reserve is confined to the sum or only ten mil lions cr dollars, an amount which experience has shown is easily within the reach of speculative con traction. But the situation this fall is different from that lor many year.. The remembrance of the events of last autumn, with its terrible stock: panic, was so deeply impressed upon the street that, in contrast to other years, the Interval since last September has been exceedingly dulL The oblitera tion of the facilities for speculation on the one hand and caution on the other produced a marked decrease in speculative animation. The sufferers by the panic seem to have remembered only the terrlDo decline la prices, and have been patiently waiting tor a return or September that they may correct the mistake of last year. Hence, while the bullish reeling or the summer has been or little moment, the 'bear' plans for the coming rail have been gradually organizing and have taken so deep a hold of the public mind that active money Is impatiently awaited as the signal for a general movement for lower prices. It 1b the extensive character of this feeling which is likely to defeat Itself. It Is here that we shall find the solu tion ot stock movements In the approaching season.. The speculative stocks are In the hauls of the cliques and heavier operators, who bought In the winter and spring, but have lound no market as yet in which to sell them. A very active a strin gent money market would, or course, embarrass Hiem In their possession of the load; but should icy, as they have done before, exert their credit and procure time loans at high rates or in terest, they would doubtless dismiss the Idea of marketing their stocks at present, and retain them over the crisis. It may be that they cannot follow out so felicitous a programme as thus indicated. The money market was never so barren of prophetic signs as to Its course this tail. But that the public may make a great mistake In operating for a heavy decline In stock in the interval to the relaxation ot money is very obvious. The cliques may turn their extremity into a great pitfall for the mass of outside speculators.'" CROQUET. yEID1NG AND PARTr INY1TAT10N3 EN GRAVED AND PRINTBD IN THB LATEST STYLE. VISITING CARPS.
