Many 'extraordinary cores ,of palmonary and bronchial con. eurnytion have been made by Sehenck'd' Pulmonic Syrup, 'the utility of which was first kited in the cane of Dr, Schenck bliaseif, who, more than thirty-five years ago, was abandoned by lie physidins as incurable, all of the moat alarming riYMPtems of consumption in Its most desperate stage being present. By the use of this Syrup, Dr. Schenck was 'restored to perfect health. The Seaweed Tonic and iMendrake Fills are prescribed by him as auxiliary re medies in consumptive cues, or they may be used with advantage in all cases wherein strengthening and par native medicines are required. The testimony of many respectable persons is given to show that these three medi cines have effected some of the moat extraordinary cores on record. • Dr. Schenck is professionally at his principal office , Philadelphia, every Saturday, where all letters for Ri eke must be addressed.

EVENING BULLETIN. Saturday, March 7 $ 1868, SWEEPING AWAY THE CORWERM There is no country upon the face of the earth where the people arc so wedded to old forms and old institutions as England. We have read that visitors to St. Paul's, in London, are forbidden to touch even a cob web in the great dome, lest the door should thus be opened to more extensive meddling with the structure and the entire fabric pos sibly be brought to the ground. The same spirit makes the true Englishman cautious how government or long-established institu tions shall be meddled with, and cobwebs of abuse cling about the pillars of the State, and disfigure the Church, and all because no sun eessful reformer has had the courage to at tempt to sweep them away. But England in the nineteenth century is not the England that it was in the time of the Conqueror, the Henrys and. Elizabeth. If the structures of Church or State were to be reared now, there would be no such useless appurtenances as kings and nobles tolerated, no such costly adornments as the Archbishops of York and Canterbury. Cobwebs may be permitted in an ancient structure, where to disturb them may endanger its safety; but in this progress sive age men do not deliberately drape new walls with the products of success'e genera tions of useless and hungry spiders. One of the most prolific sources of discon tent in the British isles is the Church rates: a system of taxing the pbckets and the con sciences- of all • men for the- support of a particular sect, a system which served the purposes of such arbitrary rulers as Henry 1111 and his imperious daughter, and which enabled a narrow bigot, like James I, to vent his spleen upon all whose sentiments and opinions differed from his own. But England has changed since the time when dissenters were fortunate if they escaped the pillory or the cart's-tail, and the question of the separa tion of Church and State is earnestly agitated, without much consideration for the cobwebs which may be disturbed. Mr. Gladstone has introduced a bill into Parliament which is designed to abolish church-rates except within the borders of the Church itself. The bill relieves all dis senters from the payment of taxes for the support of the Established Church, but con- i tinues to exact the usual rates from enrolled members of the Church. It has passed to a second reading, and its final passage is confi dently hoped for. Curiously, the principal opposition to the measure comes from the radical Reformers in Parliament, who in sist upon an entire separation of Church { and State, and who oppose all half way measures. This course is scarcely wise under the circumstances; for the abolition of Church Rates would be an entertaining wedge that would certainly tend to the consumma tion of a more thorough reform. The mani fest justice of the measure introduced by Mr. Gladstone commends it to all fair men, and its passage would prove that England is will m to fair play to all men alike, not 11Ustanding the fact that the abuse to be re formed has the odor of the sanctity of an anti quity of three hundred and fifty years about it. The Reform members Cif Parliament will experience much difficulty in ousting the Lords Spiritual from their seats in the Peers, Chamher. • They would do wisely to content themselves for the present at least, by re ducing the revenues of the Sees of Canter bury, York and Armagh, and by relieving the pockets of Catholic, Presbyterian and Methodist from the burthen of supporting a. Church Establishment which they do not be lieve in. The passage of Mr. Gladstone's bill will abolish one of the principal grin vances of the Irish people, and while doing Sim tardy justice, it will deprive the Fenian movement of one of its principal claims upon the sympathies of the world. STATE MILITIA. We have referred more than e once to the necessity of a thorough organizing of the mi litia of this State, and more especially of the First Division which includes Philadelphia. There is a good disposition on the part of a great many of theveterans of the late war to organize under the militia law, and, with proper encouragement from the city and State authorities, there could .soon be half-a-dozen or more fine regiments fprmed in Philadelphia, which would not only be a source of pride and pleasure to the ,commu nity, but also an invaluable safe-guard against any danger which might threaten the peace or honor of the State. &me of these military organizations might be greatly encouraged and aided by an ar =gement by which the city might supply them with arms. There is a large stock of sulta)le muskets in the' possession of the city, which would be far better taken care of and bur more usefully employed, in the Aanditels respectable bedy of citizen aol- diery than now, when they are stored away to rust and deteriorate and do no one'any good. A loan - of theSe - muskets - to a regularly or ganized regiment would ; entail ' ' no loss upon the city. Sound stipula tions could easily be arranged and enforced for their proper preservation and their prompt return, should occasion require it. A quarterly inspection of the armories would prevent any loss or mislaying of the muskets, and they would thus be doing a good service by promoting a military spirit, whicn all past experience teaches to be desirable under our form of government, where the standing army is small and scattered in all parts of the country. There is another consideration, beside that of mere protection. A tine body of militia, handsomely equipped and thoroughly drilled, is a great attraction to any city. The ability to make an imposing military parade would enable us to draw thousands from the neighboring country on holiday occasions, and whatever tends to attract visitors is a direct and immediate advantage. A single regiment like the famous "Seventh," of New York, adds largely to the reputation of a community for public spirit, and the First Division of Pennsylvania Militia ought to comprise a dozen regiments, any one of which, with the practical experi ence which the war afforded, might soon rival the "Seventh" of Now York. .Let there lie but a spirit of generous and broad-minded liberality exhibited by our authorities, and the men will not be wanting to recruit the ranks. UNDER WISICH KING, REZONIAN ? Among the most reliable aids that the his torian finds in the pros,epution of his labors are the newspapers and "news-letters" of the times of which he writes. Ever since the in troduction of journalism, newspapers have given what were in the main truthful ac counts of current events, and where one has fallen, into error or indulged in misrepresen tations, others have neutralized the mischief by corrections and exposures. But the simple statements of facts which newspapers con tain are by no means their only historic value, for they form the beat possible means of what might be called feeling the public pulse of a former time. The present era in the career of the United States will abound in interest to' posterity, and just as the student of history turns eagerly to the daily records of the struggle between King and Parliament, so the future Bancroft, Prescott or Macaulay will search the files of the newspapers of 1868 to learn the opinions of men at a period when the Senate of the United States had resolved it self into a high Court of Impeachment for the trial of the President. There will be no lack of variety in the matter to be perused, and the historian will read every shade of opinion, from vitriolic Copperhead ism, to earnest and indignant Republicanism, and the twaddle of bread-and butter conservatism. Bfit what will be his disappointment when he turns to the pages of newspapers which profess to- be organs- of public opinion and finds them silent as the grave upon the great questions which agitate the public mind. • Posterity will of course understand this non-committal silence, but it will be apt to forma higher opinion of the discretion of such cautious journalists than of their outspoken independence. MERCANTILE MARA It Y. The , Forty-fifth annual report of the Mercantile Library Company furnishes a good illustration of the advance which Philadelphia is making in an intellectual direction. The Library has how 6,317 members, who, during the last year usul 160,•136 volumes, or just about a volume every fortnight for every member of the Library. During the same time; 4,563 volumes were added to the cata logue, which now approaches 50,000 volumes. Over 300 periodicals are taken, including 45 foreign quarterlies, 37 foreign monthlies and 36 foreign weeklies. 64 daily newspapers arc regularly received. The directors of the "Mercantile" have in troduced various improvements and reforms which seem to be successful. The check system works well, and prevents much loss of books and affords a constant register of the circulation. The plan of delivery of books at the residences of the members, which worked badly at first, is now gaining favor, and will eventually become an important fea ture of the Library. The new building enterprise is being pressed by the Board, and the crowded con dition of the old premises calls loudly for a vigorous effort on the part of the stockhold ers to raise the funds needed to warrant the removal to the new locality. The amendment to the charter, by which gretkter, permanence will be. -Rented to, the Management of the Library, is a most sensi ble and important one. f it relieves the insti tution from the disturbance of its affairs by the annual election of the whole Board, and enables the 'Directors to acquire the needed training and skill for their work, by provid ing that only one-third of their number shall be elected each year. We congratulate the Mercantile Library Company on its continued prosperity, and hope that its past success will only serve as a stimulus to greater efforts to give it rank, eventually, among the great libraries of the world. Ball Hughes, the sculptor, died on Thurs day last, at his residence in Dorchester, Mass., aged 62 years, having been born in London, January 19th, 1806. His talent ex hibited itself in early life, and be was awarded several prizes by the Royal Academy, for bas-reliefs,and.designo for medals. A statu ette of George IV., cast in bronze, and busts of the same personage and three of the royal dukes,' were sled executed by him in 'Eng land. Ile came to New York in 1829: His first work hero was a fine marble statue of Hamilton, afterwards burned in the Merchants' Exchange, in the great fire of 1835. The sculpture of the monument to Bishop Hobart, in Trinity Church, New York,• was by him. Since his removal to Boston and its vicinity, he has executed various monumental and otkerseulptures. lie has also, made many driwings with a hot poker on wood, which are very curious.

Some of her recent efforts aro very highly 'esteemed by connoisseunt o • Colonel Lechler is out a d ial of the correctness of the published repo e of his speech at the late Democratic Convention at Harrisburg. He denies having said that the Democratic party ought to have resisted the war by force, and that it ought nowito resist impeachment by a resort to arms. The Colonel then goes on to state what he really did say, and in so doing be makes- out a stronger case against himself than the report ers made out for him. The published speech and the amended one suggest the story of the showman's quadruped, which he described as having a head like a horse, ears like a horse, and legs like a horse; but it was not a horse, for it was a mare. LIFE INSURANCE.—The annual statement of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, which will be found in another column, is well worth a careful perusal. This Company is now the largest Life Insurance institution in the world, its gross assets, at this time, amounting to more than twenty-five million dollars. The figures in the annual statement are something colossal. Thus, the Company holds a million and a half on deposit in the New York banks, and fifteen millions in bonds and mortgages, and five and a half millions in government securities. Its income for the past year, in cash premiums, was nearly nine millions, and from interest, a mil lion and a quarter. During the same time it has paid out about a million In losses, and two mil lions and a half in dividends. It has contributed to the Federal and State revenues one hundred thousand dollars in taxes, and spent a million and a quarter in its other annual expenses. These are a few of the figures of this gigantic institu tion, which towers above all other life insurance companies, if not above all other private monied institutions of any kind in the world. The science of life insurance has been very rapidly developed, in this generatiOn, and yet, enormous as is the aggregate business of the countless insurance companies, the field of America is scarcely yet opened. Wherever a lire insurance company succeeds in winning the confidence of the public, and gaining'a deserved reputation for substantial strength, prompt set tlements and honorable and liberal dealings, its success seems to be a certainty. "All that a man bath will be give for his life," was an utterance of Stan, but it was an unquestioned verity, and as death itself cannot be either foreseen or averted, the facilities for making an honorable provision for those who are to come after us, or who re main behind us, appeal to the good common sense of almost all intelligent people. That the safety and wisdom of life-insurance has come to be widely recognized and acted upon, needs no better evidence, and can have none, than the ex hibit Of its business, which the great leading in stitution, the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York makes to-day.

Particulars of the Burning of West. lake, Hutchins fit Co.'s till litellitery. Thursday's' Cleveland Leader gives the fol lowing account of this fire: At twenty minutes before seven o'clock last night an alarm of fire was sounded, and a dense , smoke arising from the "oil regions," on Central Way, near the Ate 'antic and Great Western Railway enassin_g, badl tided that the destroyer was at work. The fire was • die:veered te be at the refining establish ment of Westlake, Hutchins & Co. The the oeiginated, it appears, in the treating-house, and before the steamers could Teich the epOG--tnore than a mile distant that building was wrapped in flames. Besides a quantity of oil, the treatthg house contained one hundred barrels of gasoline. These Inflammable liquids burned with an in -tensetteat,--and-huge-valtnetsof flame-roiled-up into the air to a great height. The blazing oil and gasoline flowed in every direction, like a tide of lava, carrying swift destruction in their path. The still house was some two hundred feet dis tant, and would have been hi no inunediate dan ger but for the fiery inundation. Large numbers of oil and tar barrels lay abent the grounds, and these were in flames almost in an instant. The still-hone soon caught, and the tire spread through it with amazing rapidity. Between the burning buildings were two largeiron tanks, con taining oil. These were enveloped in the roaring flame. The heat caused the explosion of one of them, the top being blown off with a report like that of a 64-pound cannon, and the oil is the tank at once took fire. Meanwhile two or three steamers had arrived, but it was found impossible to get water. At length a supply was obtained by placing one at the river and another at the canal, and cutting holes in the lee. The streams were not powerful, however, being 'forced through a great length of hose. During the fire one of the steamers was rendered entirely useless by the bursting of the bon. Nothing could be done except to save surrounding buildings and allow the fire to burn itself out. . By great exertions, the firemen, assisted by the employe's of the estab lishment, were successful In this, and the flames gradually died away. The oil in the tank, how ever, continued to burn through the whole night, it being Impossible to extinguish IL The loss will not be loss than $30,000, upon which there is a partial Insurance, but to what extent we are unable to learn, none of the firm being present at the fire. Train Wrecked on the Pan Handle llailroad. and Two Men Killed. [From the Pittsburgh Commercial. March 6.1 Yesterday morning, at twenty minutes to nine o'clock, en accident occurred on the Pittsburgh, Columbus and Cincinnati Railroad, resulting in the wrecking of the train, and the fatal injury of two men. R appears that as the coal train, due in this city at half-past ten o'clock, was on the eastern approach to the Broadhead tunnel, about five miles from the city, one of the wheels of the forward car broke, throwing almost the en tire train from the track, and causing a total wreck. Nine of the loaded cars were thrown off and crushed together, the coal and the broken iron and timbers of the cars being mingled In a great heap. The locomotive remained upon the track, and soon after the accident was uncoupled and came to the South Pittsburgh station for as sistance to clear away the track. As soon as the excitement ac cident bad ceased, it was ascertained that two men were partially burled in the wreck. They were both crushed between the'timbers and irons of the mashed cam One of them was buried to his neck, his head only being visible, and the other was buried as high up as his breast. Efforts were ImMedlately made to extricate them, bneby the time that was accomplished it was found that they were both dead, Neither of the men be-, longed to the train, but had Jumped on -for a ride, method beet) put off once by the train ern- ployes. One of them was named Green, but the name otthe other has not been ascertained. Coroner Clawson was notified of the ocintr rence, and ,yesterday afternoon empanneled a ' jury. An inquest will be held.ou the bodies to da'fite wreck has been entirely cleared away, and no detention hes been caused In the running of trains. inure in South Pittsburgh—Glass House Partially Destroyed. • _r From the Pittebtugh Gazette. March 6.1 On Thursday morning about four o'clock. a fire broke out in the glass-house of A. &D. H. Cham bers, in South Pittsburgh, between Bingham street and, the river bank. The flames were first discovered issuing from the packlng-room • under the black ..bottle__:.housie,.... end'. 15 seems - originated from some kindling wood which - had been plied in the "cave" to dry. From the packing. room, in which there was eon-- - eiderable combustible material, the flames com municated to the "willow room" In which was stored--material- for the covering of demijohns, and also a large number of those vessels. Much difficulty was experienced in pr curing water to check and subdue the flames. Fire plugs in the vicinity were found to be frozen, but were rendered serviceable after much delay by the application of molten glass. , The fire was checked before it had ex tended throughout the works, the Duquesne Fire Company from the city rendering very efficient service; About one-fourth of the establishment was destroyed, or rendered unserviceable.

YOMMM 411.1.01ilpted Bloprder and autelde In New .Aboutll o'cltock .yesterday forenoon a man named Irrancis Bretruan attempted kill his al leged wife and himself by first shooting her and then himself, at their residence, No. 142 Hester street. It appears that Bretman, who is about forty years of age, had lived as husband with the woman some eight years, they keeping a house of ill-fame in Heater street, and that a, few days ago_ they had quarreled, and finally agreed peaceably to separate, the woman agreeing to give him e3OO. Day before , yesterday Bretman received the money, which he duly deposited in a savings bank, and yesterday forenoon called at the house in Hester street to get some of his effects and bit! goodby to the woman. While bidding her fare well he suddenly drew a double-barreled pistol and discharged it at the woman, the ball entering the cheek and passing out of the back of the neck. He then immediately placed the pistol to his own breast and discharged the remaining barrel, the ball entering his breast, evidently passing into the lungs, as blood issued freely from his mouth shortly after ho fired the shot. Inspector Wal ling, who happened to be passing at the time, arrested Bretman, while an officer of the Four teenth precinct took the woman in charge. Bret man contended that the woman had taken unto herself another partner in her joys and sorrows, and that he had determined to put an end to his own and her existence at the same time. Bret man was conveyed to Bellevue Hospital, and the woman's wound was dressed by a physician in the Bowery, who pronounced it not dangerous. It is thought that the man will not recover.—N. I'.

The Outrage "Upon the Seamen of the illanizah Grant. On Tuesday last the United States steamer De Soto left Fortress Monroe for St. Thomas, with Mr. Aaron Gregg, American Consul at Kingston, Jamaica, on board as a passenger. This gentle man arrived here about two weeks ago from Kings ton,for the purpose of reporting to the Gov ernment at Washington the outrage perpetrated upon the crew of the American whaling schooner Hannah Grant, on the coast of Venezuela, par ticulars of which appeared in our last Monday's issue, from our Kingston correspondent. The De Soto has been despatched to look after the seven seamen of the - Hannah Grant who were seized and detained by the Spanish Indians on the Venezuelan coast, and to inquire into all the facts of the case. Mr. Ribay, the Venezuelan Consul in this city, has also been to Wash ington to see Secretary Seward on the sub ject, and it is hoped that the matter will be Sat isfactorily atjusted. It is supposed that the sailors were seized by a party of guarda costa, a Urge number of whom are constantly kept by the Venezuelan Government on that part of the coast of Venezuela where the outrage took place, there being uncommon facilities about there for illicit trade, and as the men employed in the ser vice are very ignorant, speaking oily a mise rable patois of the Spanish, it Is probable the Captain of the Hannah Grant could not make himself understood by them, and that mutual ex planations were irepossible.

The Senate is engaged In considering the Ap propriation bill, and the House is in Committee' of the. Whole discussing financial questions. From Elan Francisco. SAN FRANcisco,March 6.—The Governor having declined to transmit the Senate resolutions in re gard to the action of Congress on the impeach ment of the President, giving as a reason that they might improperly Influence the United States Senate sitting a Court of Impeachment, the State Senate therefore struck out the name of B. F. Wade, and now request the Governor to immediately teleflraph the resolution to the Speaker of the House of Representatives at Wash ington.

XLth Congress-Second Session. &Norf.—The Chair laid before the Senate a number of communications, resolutions, petitions, dm., from the ter ritory of- New Mexico, praying for the passage of a rats,. lotion to restrict the Governor in the exercise of unauthor ised power; and praying for authority to raise throe regiments oftroops for their own protection; also praying the reannexationof that portion of territory which was appropriated to Colorado. Referred to Committee on Ter ritories. Mr. Sumner (Mass.) and others presented petitions for the removal of political disabilities. The Chair laid before the Senate a communication from the Secretary of the Treasury, in reply to a reso lution of inquiry under what law and,for what reason the salary of the Governor of the territory of Idaho is with held. , Mr. Williams (Oregon) called for the reading, and the enclosed documents were read, including one from the Secretary of State,saying that Governor Ballard had only been snepended, and he order for suspension had boon revoked, and he was, therefore, properly entitled to his ealnry, no successor having been confirmed. Mr. Williams said that in March last, one Murphy, a Democrat, had been nominated to succeed Gov. Ballard, who was a Republican, andithe Senate rejected the nomi nation. The Secretary of State has said that the President had claimed that it was unnecessary to submit the reasons for the suspension, as it had not taken effect. Governor Ballard. however, had continued in the dis charge of his dirties, though notified through a clerical error that he had been suspended, and the- Treasury* De partment had refused to pay his salary on the ground that be was ewer ded tinder the tenure of office act. :If that was correct the President had violated the Tenure of 'Vice act if not, then there had been a• gross and pal palls violation of law in refusing to pay his salary. Ile (Williams) had been informed by an official at the Treasury Department that the salary had been withheld for that reason. It was hovvever,alpart of a plan to drive Gov. Ballard out, to compel him to resign because he was a Republican. Ae Snperinrender, t of Indian A ff aire.he had made con tracts as authorized, but the interior llepartmenllhad also refused to recognize him. The Secretary of the Treasury his said, there was no further reason for withholding his salary. if it was ihown that, he had been in the Territory all the time. This was but a shallow pretence, and ho r Williams) had with hie own hands filed papers in the Department proving a at fact; After further discussion the papers were laid on the 110 t BF--The 13011S0 met for general debate as in Com mittee cf the '4 l / hole on the state of the Union, Mr. Ashley (Ohio) in the chair. Mr. Clarke (Kan.) addressed the Hones on the question of the finances. Expressing himself as opposed to the immediate resumption of specie payments, to the liquida tion of the national debt within this generation, and to the payment of the bonds of the United States otherwise than according to the letter of the bonds, but was in favor of loaning the credit of the Government in aid of the great continental Pacific Railroad. Mr. Blaine (Mc.) next addressed the House ou the same subject, especially as to the greenback payment of the hit bonds The Democratic papers, he said, had been deliberately asserting that a proposition had been'made in Cengceos to pay MT the ri.2o's in coin while gold was at a high premium. This was not only untrue but absurd. 'No such proposition had been made in Congress; both bonds and greenbacks were , equally obligations of the ' government to pay specie. As to paying off the bonds in five-twenties, those who clamored for it deluded themselves most blindly, and invoked the mast destructive consequence to all classes. The inflation implied in such payment would depreciate the currency, unsettle values and be especially ruinous to the laboring classes. He held that it was an immense delusion to attribute the pre sent dullness in business circles to a scar city of money, there being now. three times as much. paper money in circulation as at any time preceding the was, and the leading money markets never being known to be easier. Tho commer cial and manufacturing interests in France and England were much • more. deProgted • than --in - the United States, Sind yet the plethorli- of money ahem erecre'ded anythingeverknourn, the bank of France alone holding 1,000.000,000 francs unemployed surplus. Let the folly of paper expansion be avoided, and he believed that the country would safely and surely get on to the specie basic This coed be done without rashness and without contraction, whereas the opposite policy would lead to bankruptcy, ruin and repudiation.

Maaen 6.—The gold market-has been steady but very dull today, and the fluctuations were from 14M to 141%, with the closing transactions at 141... V. There was a mode. rate borrowing - demand for coin. and loans were made at five and six per cent. for carrying. The gross clearings amounted to $2,752,100, the gold balances to $1,326,758, and the currency balances to $1,817,114. The receipts of geld from California in the first two months of the present year amounted to $6082.156, and those from foreign ports to $552,449, making a total supply of 86.614.605, while the exports of specie and bullion to foreign ports during the same time aggregated $11,563,650, or $4,919,045 more than the receipts. The publication of the statement of the public debt for the month of February exerted no influ ence upon the course of speculation, although it shows a decrease hi the total amount of indebtedness, less cash in Treasury, of $7,485 751 when compared with the last pre ceding statement. The amount of coin in the Treasury has increased $8,133,213 while the currency balance has decreased $3,924.W. The debt bearing coin interest has increased $18.797,950, while that bearing currency interest has decreased $8,924,061 The stock market continues in a feverish state of ex citement, owing mainly to the peculiar course of Erie the fluctuations in which during the day were from 71% to 741", with the closing transactions at the highest point touched. The hear party in the stock is offering no re sistance for the time being to the upward movement, and the "short" interest has been to a great extent "covered." The borrowing detnand for Erie is nevertheless active, owing to the bull clique having with drawn ill not less probably than a hundred thou sand shares from the street • but the scarcity has not been sufficient to -interfere with the de liveries. The ostensible object of this party Is to secure control of the company, and. if possible, by throwing its affairs into the hands of &receiver selected by themselves within the next month or two, for to await the result of the next annual election would be a tedious process for them. To this end a movement is on foot in the Legisla ture, and a committee of five was this morning appointed by the Senate to investigate the com pany's affairs at Albany, with Ebert, to send for persons and papers to ' Ulla city- The Erie directors have already given formal notice to the Pennsylvania Central and the New York Central Companies that they are no longer bound by the understanding hitherto exist ing between them with regard to through rates of fare and freight, and this is probably the precursor of midi a reduction in these as will force the Now York Central to follow suit in self-defence. The war is evidently being undertaken in earnest by the Work-Vanderbilt. Party, and they have thus far succtedesi, to all appearances, in checkmating the speculative director. The cause of the quarrel in the first instance was no doubt the arrange ments made by the Erie board to secure a through , broad gauge route to Chicago by way of the Michigan Southern line. thus beadles off the Vanderbilt lines, audit is pro bable that if they receded from those the suits brought against them would be withdrawn. The immediate pur pose of the bull clique, however, is to make money by their speculation for a rise, for the next election day is six months off, and. the pros pect of a receivership , is doubtful. 7hey. will therefore "milk the street" as much as possible, and by investing their operations with an air of mystery they hope to succeed the better in doing Aida- The -stook. under all the circumstances of the care, Is a, very, den. gerous one to touch, Manip ulated as it is by unscrupn. lona men. whose object is to swindle the street by causing violent fluctuations in Its price, and out. Hiders both in and out of Wall street will eonsult their own interest by neither buying nor selling it. The whole railway share market is held up by main force by the various cliques, and it would be impossible for them to sell any considerable amount of their stocks without causing rilleavy decline in prices. • 'file 'Erie litigation has driven the general public from the field and made the street timid about holding railway shares. Mousy con• tinues in moderately good demand at six per cent. on call. with exceptional transactions at five on governments and seven on miscellaneous collaternls. - Government securities were dull, and the market for them was rather heavy in tone, although prices in some instances were unchanged, while in others the decline was merely tract] ona I. tFrom to-day's New York Times.] _ . MA.P.olll3.—Money continues very cheap in London and. Patin ; Lofted States r. 20s are in steady favor in England and Germany, and the Liverpool Cotton Market, with occasional fluctuations, is generally strong and encour aging for the trade on this Fide. On the other hand, our own liminess for the Spring looks well for a la; go consumption of General Foreign Merchandise and a better demand than last luing, at more remunerative prices, for foreign Pry Goods. This creates a fair demand for For. sign Exchange, we against the amount making against Cotton from the South, and Cotton and other Domestic Produce front New York and Gold and Silver Bullion front California; but thus far at rates a fraction below the point at It hich it would pay the Banker to ship American Gold Coin.
