Asseverations of pacific intentions are all the fashion among the great powers of Con tinental Europe. Each of them is so busy preparing for war that each is continally sus pected by all the others. So there is a gen eral vowing of eternal friendship, which, under the circumstances, may be interpreted imminent war. The consolidation of Ger many and Italy,which has been accomplished within the past few years, has reduced the number of the discordant elements of Europe, and has forever destroyed, so far as practi (sable application goes, the balance-of-pOwer theory, on which wore based so many treaties and other now defunct arrangements for pre serving quiet at least, if not friendship. When Count Bismarck began the masterly enterprises which have made Prussia a first rate power, the Emperor Napoleon had his hands full of work that he could not decently 'or safely drop. The Mexican enterprise, while employing but a small portion of ' the French army, was one in which honer and capital, at least, were largely ventured. It could not be abandoned instantly, and while there was a ray of hope of its permanent success, there was a vague fear that it might require very heavy additional expenditure of troops and money. This was the work, actual and prospective, for the military and financial sinews of France to do. For the commercial and „ industrial sinews, the great. Exposition of 1867 furnished unavoidable and profitable work. It would have been so disgraceful and so disastrous to have announced in 1866 that the Exposition, lolvertised two years before, was postponed, that a revolution in France might have been expected. So when Prussia began, her bold war against Austria, France could do no more than look on. Her hands were tied. Prussia knew it well, and knew, too, that her work must be done vigorously and rapidly. So the campaign was, considering its stupen dous results, the shortest on record. It made Prussia a first rate power, and a more formi dable rival of France than England, Russia or Austria was ever likely to become. The Mexican expedition came for a cal amitous conclusion, and France, besides her losses of men and money, now finds herself bound even to pay part of the debt of the short-lived sham Empire that her bayonets created. The Exposition of 1867, too, has come to an end, after a success which was enhanced by the pompous visits of the very monarchs and ministers that have helped to weaken France. There was nothing in Paris during all the summer, so awful as King William and Count Bismarck. There was nothing that was looked upon with more eager curiosity then the needle-gun. There was no imperial guest whose visit excited such sinister feelings as did that of the Em peror of Austria, whose brother had perished in the same ill-starred enterprise in whfch she brothers, the fathers, and the sons of thousands of Frenchmen had perished. But Emperors, Czars, liings,Queens, Princes and Princesses went to Paris to see the show, and to offer tribute of homage or scoffing to the showman. Now the show is at an end, the homage is not nee3ed, the scoffing is private; and there is a general feeling that it is time to proceed to business. The business the great powers are preparing for is war North Germany, led by Pro -sia, can put into the field a million or more nil men, armed with needle guns and the best artillery. France, under her new army bill, will he able to put as many, or more, into the liebt armed with Classepots and equally good artillery. nussia., it au entergelley arises, can present an army twice as large as either. Austria and Italy, although both badly crip pled, could, if required, arm a couple of mil lions more. Thus the great Christian Powers IV the continent, ostensibly serving the Prince of Peace, are getting ready to go to war among themselves, with ,armies amounting to six or eight millions of men. The Roman question and the Turkish question are both just in such a state that either may serve as a pretext.for the beginning of hostilities at any time. And there are several minor troubles smouldering in the old world, that might be easily stirred up into a flame that would spread into a general warlike conflagration. At any rate, it is expected that there will be work for these five or ten millions of armed men to do. European military:sampaigns arc short now, and the work begun early in 1868 is likely to be finished before the year closes. The map of Europe may have to bo essentially changed in the veer 1469. TIRE FEJEE MEATY. The treaty-making power of the Govern ment has evidently run mad. Mr. Seward, in his insane desire to find some hook on which to hang his name, in connection with this eventful period of American history, has rushed into the market of the world, and sought immortality by the purchase of every worthless piece of property on which he can lay his hands. Walrussia, with its eternal snows, and St. Thomas.with its earthquakes, lituTicanes and pestilences, are his pet pro jects; but they, by no means, bound his am bition. Ile proposes to lease the Bay of ISamana; be has his surveyors prospect* Lower California, and British Columbia is seriously talked of as an oiled to the Alabama But Mr. Seward's latest is his best. Where he cannot buy territory be proposes to borrow it, and in swinging around the circle of the world be has brought tip at:last with the King of the Cannibal Islands. The treaty between the United btates and the Fejee Islands ought ter Ginty to , secure historic fame for Mr. ilieward. Everything about it is novel and atriiingly peculiir. Its history, its purp )se, and the method of its transaction are all cal *Matta to arrest the attention and challenge the adnairatton of that Future to which Mr. &ward, now despliring, of the Present and of the Past, looks for his lame. Itapptara that, twenty yeurF, ago, three gictettere from ti United t3tiati vessel. were eaten by the interesting inhabitants of the Fejee Islands. Thinking that American sea men were not a meet dish for Sonth-Sea sava ges, whatever might be their desert for aban doning their ship, the Government promptly demanded indemnity in the form of a consid erable sum of money. One instalment was paid, many years ago, and the remainder has been counted as a bad debt until recently, when the Pejo° monarch has found it conve nient to make a settlement. Ho proposes to mortgage these Cannibal Islands to the United States for three years, and the country will, of course, soon be enlightened by Mr. Seward as to the superior advantages of the Fejee group, in climate, products and the general attractiveness of ite population. The treaty which has just been received at the State Department is in the very appropriate form of a tooth! It is founded upon the eating of three men, and the huge whale's tooth which His Majesty of the Fejees has sent to Mr. Seward aptly suggests his desire to place the molars and incisors of his sub jects, hereafter, in the hands of the United States. The old Jewish idea of retribution was "a tooth for a tooth" and by this inden ture the Fejees propose 'to recognize that ancient code, and to testify their willingness to pay for the dinner which they indulged in, so improperly, twenty years ago. The real purpose of this peculiar treaty , is not to give us indemnity for the past, but to obtain security for himself for the future. The Fejee monarch is afflicted with a rival, and the question as to which shall eat the other appears to be an open one. Hence the treaty stipulates that the United States is to protect its ally during the continuance of the mortgage. This is the secret of this original treaty. It is an old trick to settle up an old account in order to open a new and larger one. What the amount of the old bill is is not stated, but as one deserter was - paid for, on delivery, there are only two now on the books, and they were probably charged at a reasonable price, as men who would voluntarily exchange the comforts of an American man-of-war for a Fejee dinner party must have been 'very worthless fellows. Nor does it appear how this mortgage is to be worked profitably. It will be necessary to create a civil estithlishment to collect the rev enues, and this will be a costly thing. It will have to be formed of the tough old fellows of the Bread and Butter Brigade, the Joey Bag stocks of the civil service, men who will not be afraid of being cooked or eaten, but who will hold their own with the Fejees in spite of their teeth,—"hard-hearted, sir—tough, sir, tough and de-vilish sly!" And beside the civil establi:l meat there will have to be also a naval one, to protect His Majesty while wo farm his islands for' our own benefit. To maintain a man-of-war on that station,—the Tuscarora for instance,—will probably cost more than the whole amount of the Fejee claim, but that does not come into Mr. Sew ard's department. Mr. Welles must find the ships and Mr. McCulloch the funds, while Mr. Seward rejoices in the proud distinction of having added the Fejee Islands to the list of his territorial acquisitions. He doubtless hopes to fore-close the mortgage, some of these days, and then the happy home of the Fejees will be permanently reckoned as American soil. Every person who passed through the streets of the city during the recent cold wea ther experienced the inconvenience of ice- covered side-walks. We do not refer to the ice that comes as an unavoidable contingent of rain and snow; but of that which is formed from the waste of bath-houses and kitchens, and that which is allowed by housekeepers to form without any thought or consikration for the comfort of pedestrians or the safety of their limbs. Everybody knows of same no table instance of this careless indifference to the public good, but it is not every one whc knows that the laws provide a remedy for the evil. In all cases where waste water rum over the side-walk in such a way as to be come a nuisance, tilt 3 property-owser may be required by l'aw to construct an under-ground drain which will convey the water directly into the culvert. Any citizen who is ag grieved from this cause can obtain relief by lodging information at the office of the City Surveyor. The whole system of superficial drainage is behind the age, and every good citizen should contribute to the extent of his power and influence to the brirOig about of a reform.. The able argument of senator Morton on reconstruction, which we publish in to-day's paper, should receive the careful attention 01 every thoughtful reader. It is a splendid effort of logic and eloquence, and is an ex haustive discussion of the great issues now at stake between the Republican party and its assailants. It is a speech worthy of the palmy days of Clay and Webster and will exercise a powerful influence upon public senthuent. DEATH OF PROFESSOR NORTON. The. present generation of musical people have little or no acquaintance with the "Veteran musi cian, John Thompson Norton, who died at the advanced age of eighty-three, in this city, on Fri day last. In former years, when the Philharmo nic and 'Musical Fund Societies were in their prime, every frequenter of their brilliant con certs was familiar with Mr.. Norton and his famous trumpet. Professor Norton was an Englishman by 'birth, and in his younger days was attached to the House hold Band of William IV. and also to one or two households of the nobility. He came to America more than thirty years ago, and pur sued his profession with great success, holding thel almost undisputed rank of the first trumpet player •in the United States. For many years past be has lived in the quiet retirement of a bachelor life, happy and contented in the com panionship of his favorite dogs and the intimacy ..ot rseverai-of our. citizens= ho haveteert.hls lir:- voted friends. • . • - Mr. Nortou's last performance in any public way was, we believe, on the evening of July 'Ad, 18b9, on the occasion of the obsequies of Henry Clay, when he was the actor in 14 touching inci dent. The funeral promslon passed his room 4, at. the corner of Fifth and Minor streets, shortly before midnight, and as the military escort which preceded the hearse reached his windovis, the veteran trumpeter commenced an exquisite im promptu dirge linen MS • favorite instrument, which be ulayed with a pathos of expression and purity of execution which will never be forgot ten by those who heard It. The midnight hour, THE DAILY , EVENING BULLETIN PHILADELPHIA, IvION DAY, JANUARY '2,7,1868. the solemn occasion and the vast and silent audi ence were all in keeping with the superb perfor mance, and formed a remarkable and appropriate close to His long and bti liant public career. Mr. James Mott, a well-known Philadelphian, died at the residence of his son-in-law,Mr. George W. Lord, at Brooklyn, yesterday., Mr. Mott had attained the ripe age of eighty years and his death resulted from a sudden attack of pneumonia. The deceased was for more than half a century one of therbost active abolitionists in the coun try, and obloquy or persecution had no effect in suppressing his'zeal in the cause which he be lieved to be right. For a long period he was President of the Pennsylvania Anti-slavery Society. Mr. Mott was the husband of the ven erable Lucretia Mott, who was his companion in life during a period of have years. How ever much men might have differed from the de ceased in his extreme radical views upon the subject of slavery, there are none who will deny that his earnest zeal came of profound convic tion,and that in respect to integrity and purity of character ho was blameless. • CArcSEN'rr'sOmairsinnMA•rrNE Es.—lt seems late in the day to speak of the excellence of Haydn's symphonies, but a good thing cannot be too frequently urged upon public notice. In what consists the alarm of these delightful com positions that have held courts; kings, queens, emperors, people great and small so fascinated and entertained for a hall' century and more ? Haydn has answered the question laimself when he said "Let your air be good, and your compo sition, whatever it be, will be so likewise, and will assuredly please." "It is the soul of music." continued he,"the life, the spirit, the essence of a composition. Without this, Tartini may find out the most singular and learned chords, but nothing is heard but, a labored sound, which, though it may not offend the ear, leaves the head empty and the heart cold." Upon another occasion Hadyti said, when discussing the philosophy of composition, "The whole art consists in taking up a subject and pursuing it." How evident does this theory of Haydn become to,the hearer who attentively watches the per fomance of his symphonies by a perfect and full orchestra. For this pleasure we are indebted to Mr. Bentz, and are glad to Bea that a Haydn symL phony is to be given by his admirable orchestra on Thursday afternoon.

Mrs. Woodward. The New Albany coninterced pub lishes a long and interesting account. Cutsluger, n.witnestr, had sworn directly that he saw Mc- Kinley commit the murders. We quote the fol lowing from the Comfit. rciah After the meeting of the Court in the afternoon the crowd had largely increased, and a great deal of excitement was apparent upon tiro faces of these 'present. The prosecuting witness was called, and as he took his seat he remarked that he was now going to tell the truth. His stolid countenance was lighted up by a sort of ghastly smile, and for the first time during the trial he ventured to lift his eyes to the face of the prisoner at the bar, Mahlon McKinley. A short conference with him satisfied the prosecuting attorney , that his witness had deter mined to recant and make a full confesaion of the part he had been hired to play in the terrible drama. Mr. Carlton then arose and addressed the court. He said that ever since last June he had firmly believed that the man who was now before them was the murderer. He believed that the the was the murderer of tbeWoodward family, solitary , and alone, and that he had attempted by his miserable duplicity to fasten the guilt upon an innocent person. His re marks were very hitter, and as he pointed toward the miserable crouching witness, he stigmatized his course in the most withering language. He closed by deelaringte diamlssed the prosecution against McKimcy.. The words had hardly been uttered when Um vast concourse rose to their feet and gave one loud and prolonged cheer. - - Bat immediately was heard from a hem- dred voices the startling words, "hang him," "hang him," which were uttered by excited men, with clenched fiats and eyes flashing fire. Colonel Heffron immediately sprang tot& feet, and called upon the people to listen to wiser counsels, that the man before them was bat the tool of sanders, and if anybody was to be hang let it be him. The poor creature who had testi fied befoth them was merely's scapegoat of the real scoundrel He said that he regretted that the trial had not been permitted to go on so as to enable him to show the depth of the guilt of that man Sanders, who, it would have been proved, had agreed to give him e. , 300 for his affidavit and appearing at the preliminary examination, and el,OOO for seeing the case safe through Court. During his remarks the crowd kept shouting "Hang him! hang him:" and pushing their way toward the plat i form where Cutsinger was stand ing. Gen. Spicely and Major Tucker sprang for ward and told the maddened mob that it could l not be done, but their voices were drowned in the uproar. Judge Carlton exhorted the people to let the law take its course. •Al the members of the bar, Sheriff, coastal bles and other officers of the Court. formed. a liue in front of the frenzied mass, while behind them. sneaked away the mean, contemptible entsinger, showing more emotion than we thought hint ca pable of, as he was as pale as death, and trembled from head to foot with terror. it was some time before the appeals of Spicely, Helfron,Tucker and others had any effect upon the; mob, but at length some of the lciders were induced to go down stairs, where they again collected, in the hope that Cutsinger would at tempt to escape,. We :Jaw clubs, k Litres and re volvers ready for action. and if there had been a collision there would doubtless have been bloody work. In the course of a couple of the crowd in front of the hal!, which had been barricaded from within, had somewhat diminished, and the people bean to realize that, after all, he was only a half-witted, cowardly scamp, ready to commit perjury for money, while the arch villain and murderer was Sanders. Had he been there he would have beton hung, in spite of any effort which might have been made to prevent it. It was reported that he and his wife had got off the train at Mitchell the night before, and were probably at the house of one of his relatives, awaiting the result of the trial. A number of citizens started in permit of him; and, if he was so imprudent as to be found, his neck Would pay the penalty at the hands of the exas perated citizens. Late in the afternoon, we saw Cutainger and his old wife, who is, doubtlesa, more guilty than he, sneaking across the street, tinder the protection of the 'Suitt He is a poor, half-idiot vagabond, with not enough soul to make a respectable brute. He said that he had been induced to make the affidavit against Mc- Kimey at the instance of Sanders, who had threat ened his life; besides be added,glaneing at his foot, he had been disabled from a severe cut ever since he wont to Sullivan county, Esnd been led to make the statement for money to live on.. Mc liimey, throughout the exciting scenes, behaved in a Tory becoming manner. He is a man of a rather pleasant countenance, and would - never have been taken for the author of the atrocious deed with which he is charged. He lives in Orangeville, and is a blacksmith •by trade. Ile bad been in the 18th Ohio Volunteers, and did duty at Chattanooga and Corinth as blacksmith at the headquarters of Generals Thomas and Ito secrans. He has the universal respect of his neighbors, and a gentleman in our hearing re marked that he did not believe there was a man in Orleans who thought him guilty. IMPORTANT ARRESTS IN CHICAGO. Capture of a Gang of Bank Robbsrs. (Chicago Journal 24th.] About two months since • our telegraphic des patches contained brief mention of a burglary committed by four men on Pettis & Ingalls' bank at Tremont, Tazewell county, when the thieves carried off .$60,000; The safe which con tsdned the treasure was drilled and blown open 'with powder, and an inner box or safe, which contained the money, was carried away in a wagon. The authorities of Tazewell county _were im aaediately notifieff-of-the-occurrenceoind ut-once set to work to investigate the matter, and, if pos. Bible, to ferret out the bold perpetrators Of the grime. The pollee of this city were also informed ante particulars of the robbery ' as firas they hodbeen learned, and, since that time, the °di cers therd and in this.city have been in coast int communication, and have word in conjunction in • mhavoring to ferret out the criminals. By tracing up the route taken by the vehicle, the officers succeeded in finding- the missing boa, together with the "tools" used by the robbers eflceting an entrance Into the bank, at-the bottoit ef Mackinaw creek, four miles west of • Tretn.mi;. rt Wo hundred dollars of the missing money and fifteen hundred dollars' worth of Government bonds were found In the vault, the robbers not bt leg able to open thedrawer,which contained the valuable property: Further investigation re tulle d in finding the man who had driven the waoron and Its valuable contents froth the scene of the robbery. Tht man was terribly scared at the dilemma in which he found himself, and it was an easy matter to wring from him full 'de tail:, of the robbery,, the names of those connected with the transaction, together with their per-. sonal descriptions. His information was so true that no difficulty whatever has been experienced since In identifying the robbers as fast as arrested. The first of the gang taken into custody was Harry ('Connors. This man, O'Connors, was taken to thejail at 'Pekin, the county scat of Tazewell county. After a brief stay In that Insti tution, be one night worked his way through the walls and escaped. Ho only enjoyed liberty short time, for a few days ago he was recaptured In Springfield, where he had gone to assist a friend named flurry Taylor, who was under trial for robbing Johnson's store of $7,000 worth of silk goods. He Is now at Pekin, but more .se curdy Imprisoned than before. Yesterday afternoon another of the criminals was captured In this city, by Mr. A.. N. Stone, Sheriff of Tazewell county, in conjunction with detective Horace Elliott, of Chicago, the indi vidual taken in custody being no less a personage than James Hendricks (dims. James Foultz., He bad been tracked through several States, and . was finally surprised as mentioned. When captured, he was engaged in playing cards. THE BENNEHOFIF ROBBERY. Further Partiettlars.-The Lose •Re. periled is be b 34 0 9000. [From the 'city:v[lle (Pa.) I tereld, Jan. :al Mr. Bennehoff's losses are mach larger than first reported. It appears that the old gentleman did not know exactly the dimensions of his greenback pile. The losses so far as ascertained exceed $250,000, and it is thought may approxi mate $350,000. A gentleman who visited tho family yesterday informs us that a guard is now stationed in the house night and day, notwith standing It is asserted that the deposits have been removed from the other safe. Mr. Bennehoff Sr., is slowly re;:overing from the effects of the out ragous assault. His face is severely brui.,ed and discolored from the blows received, and his body still sore from merciless punches and mauls. He informed our friend that a desperate attempt was made to rob bin/ several months ago. Three strangare stopped at the house about dark to obtain matches, and afterward.; asked for milk and whisky. The latter was refused, and they reluctantly went away without obtaining admission to the house. About midnight the inmates were alarmed by an attempt to force open a window from the out side. The Bennehotla were on the alert and dis charged a rifle and revolver at the burglars. &vend slots were returned, and then the ma rauders retreated. We would state in this con nection, as a warning to these ()II Creek bur glars, that the Bennehoff mansion is effectually defended, and any future assaults will provoke a desperate resi, lance. rriteMlle correepondence of the Rochester Union.] On the hill, top between the head waters of Pio neer and Bennehoff rims lives one John Benne hod; where for thirtp-seven years he has seen the seasons come and go. producing their crops of corn and buckwheat, and filling his coffers very gradually . with that enticing something the love of which is the root of all evil.- When the oil cx cil4 men t burst over the country his high lands, his bill tops and woods were not considered worth the whllc of any of the "companies" who bought almost ever 3 thing, and it was net until some three yeard ago that the oldgentleman could add _........----. to his receipts any income from oil.

The Tennessee Radical State Convention was held in Nashville, on the 22nd Inst., for the pur pose of organizing and hppolnting delegates to the National Convention at Chicago. Hon. J. S. Fowler presided. The Committee on Resolutions Made a report s which was read and accepted. The material points of this report are as follows: "We, the Union'Sepublicaus of Tennessee, in Cotvention assembled, declare and will endeavor to'maintain the principles fcillowing, "An unalterable and unconditional adherence to and support of the American Union, established by our fathers in the blood of one great war, and defended by ourselves in the blood of another and greater war. "The Government ought of right to beadmints tered by the men and upon the principles that have saved it, to the exchision of the men and thej?rinciples that sought to destroy it. "We abate nothing ofour admiration for Major- General George H. Thomas, or our confidence in him as expressed by ns in a former convention, but Inasmuch as be has peremptorily declined the use of his name in connection with the Presi dency of the United States, we recommended for that responsible office Gen: Ulysses S. Grant. "Under his administration wo feel assured of the ascendancy of Union principles and Union men, to the exclusion from the positions of honor and trust of rebel principles and rebel men; of full protection abroad and at home, of all American citizens, native or naturalized; of a wise, prudent and economical policy; of a re duction of taxation to the least practicable point consistent with the maintenance inviolate of the national faith to the public creditors, to the sol diers, whose pay and bounty are still in arrear, to the pensioner and to the honest, loyal claim ants, for supplies furnished and losses sustained during the war; of a national currency uniform in value and sufficient In amount for the in crcasedfand ever-increasing business exigencies of the country: of an early restoration to their civil duties and relations of the remaining dis loyal States, upon a basis of loyalty, patriotism, justice and a full recognition of the rights of all men. "That as Union Republicans we recognize the influence of virtue and intelligence in the preser vation of the Union, and will suffer no repudia tion of the obligations of the State to provide free education for every child; and pledge our fielves anew to promote the establishment of free common schools, as the safeguard alike of our property and of our rights. "'That Tennessee does not re back upon her record for loyalty, llbertv and the rights of man hood, by one hair's breadth. "That WC most heartily approve the firm. wise, and patriotic stand taken by our Congress against the usurpations of the President of the United States. The following letter from Gov. Brownlow was read and received with great applause: KNoxvitt.n, Jan. 20, 1868.—T0 the ,President ,iud jf Ha( is of the State 042renfioe.—GRNTI.F.- MEN: I have expected and Intended to be present at the State Convention, to be held on the 22d inst., but the inclemency of the weather and the roughness of the road between here and Nash ville, have induced me to remain where I am. You have my best wishes for your success and harmonious action. I have full confidence in your wisdom and patriotism, and feel assured that your deliberations will re sult in the greatest good to the cause we all so much cherish. Upon the triumph - of the Republican party in Tennessee depends both the prosperity of the State and the safety of loyal men. Any proposition looking to a State Con vention to amend the Constitution means the overthrow of the State Government, the enfran chisement of the rebels and the disfranchisement of the colored man. All propositions from rebel sources to adopt universal suffrage means taking the control of the State out of the hands of loyal men and putting. it into the hands of rebels. The approaching Presidential contest will be one between the great Republican Union party, composed of the men who stood by the Union in its hour of sorest trial; and faced the enemies of our country upon the field of battle, and the ir repressible Democratic party, composed of the rebellious odds and ends of all parties. The suc cess of the Democratic party. of which I have no fears, will involve the payment of Southern trai tors for their emancipated slaves, the pay ment of the rebel war debt, and the grant ing of pensions to the widows. and the orphans of fallen rebels and rebel soldiers. These issues will be openly discussed during the 'coming summer by the contending parties and under the lead of whoever may be nominated by the Republican party at Chicago, we are bound to succeed. Confiding in the wisdom and patriot-; ism of the National Convention, which meets in May next, whether they shall select :t military chieftain or a civilian to head the Republican ticket, let us pledge ourselves ton zealous and cordial support of the ticket. If I were a member of your Convention. I would endeavor to have incorporated into the platform vou adopt a plank to the following e. di et Tit - at the bonds and obligations of the general Government, which do not expressly stipulate for payment in coin in the acts autho rizing their isiglance, or in. their face, should he paid in greenbael:s or legal tenders, and that our delegates to the National convention be in s,rneted to vote for a resolution in the national platform embraeim , E - this proposition.

(From to-dare liereld.l JAaUARY 211,—The gold market was rather quiet last week and the fluctuations were limited to per cent.— namely, from 1:ia;q" to 141. with the closing transactions be. fore the adjournment of the board on Saturday at 139?.,i, following which 140 was bid. The volume of transactions was only about half as large aa In the proceeding week, owing in part to the withdrawal of spoculatore to the Stock. Exchange and the absence of fresh excitement at Weshington. The "abort' , interest outstanding is not very heavy, and loans were made at ;;04 6 per cent. for carrying.he customs receipts at the port slightlY exceeded a million eaid a half, and. the ailment. of hal' lion and specie amounted to a little more than a million. '1 het e fe a prevailing impression that owing to the radical piney of Congress with regard to the reconstruction question, as well as to the general 'financial abd commercial condition and prospects of the coun try, gold will rule higher on an average than it is now for n long time to COMP, and hence there are more buyers than sellers of the precious metal. So far as tinanelal legialction Is concerned there are an si Haus apprehensions entertained. The bill eurpendinp currency contraction has gaited pre. existing fears, and there is some expectation that a fresh issue of greenbacks will he authorized but beyond exchanging the compound interest , otcs and the three per cent. certificates representing them, both of which are legal tender?, for plain United States. notes se fast as they are pre ented for redemption, nothing further will, It is to be hoped, be done.

The col pound interest notes and three nen cent. certifirati,s are no much legal tenders s preenbacas, and therefore to camel them without la. ruing their rauivaleut in new notes would be ;me much contraction as if United States notes were withdrawn; for the hanks held them as a part of their reserve of law. fel money, and on the 1”t of January them were out standing seventy-ntne and a half millions of compoand interest notes and three percent. eertideate, , . he daily range of gold during the pa-t week is thus nhown:- - ilftihost.

That no hank line loaned any one 'firm an amount exceeding oar-teeth et its capital, an pm vided by law, is vouched for, and the Comptroller &Wes that ho is in posseesion of reliable information, the t•e sult of recem. investigations, sufficient to satisfy hint that the national banks, and particularly those located here, are not in the habit of loaning their money upon fancy etocks at false or &Miele% values. end %hot with regard to bank officers being concerned in stock tlpeCll - involving the capital and credit of their ressee tive. institutions. he hue no means of obtaining informa tion, he basing no authority under the law to in vestleate their vrivnte transactions; but the experience of the pact fir bids the belief that any bunk officer known to he engaged in speculative operations mould be retained in miles.
