NEW PUBLICATIONS HE HOARD OF A VIVID RISMORY. WILAT If IBS Ai ARTINEA i) RECOLLECTS OF ENO- LISA SOCIETY We have already published, from English sources, selections from Miss Martineau's 'biographical Sketches"—the,tartest,keenest, brightest collection of ana published for many is long day. The book is shortly to be issued for American readers by Leypoldt & Holt, who will bring it out in handsome form, with marginal references. We proceed to copy other interesting extracts, premising that the Memoir's in question were mostly written during the lifetime of the subject, and fur nished—with fatal promptitude and too little revision—to the London Daily _News upon the death of the person described. The wounds inflicted by this habit of Miss Mar tineau's were many and painful; but they were felt more deeply in the instant of bereave ment than they can be now, and for this and other reasons she is right in deciding to pub lish the material without change. "It was evident to me," says the writer in her final way, "at the first glance over my material, that the sketches must be presented unal tered." The profiles in Miss Mit ford's gallery are taken from the life, are inflexibly true to what she believed she saw, and convey a strong impression of honesty joined with insight. One -tenth of the sitters are living, or were when the Sketches were published; as for the remainder, bliss "Pahlavi thinks, hor opinions are excused from any modification by the fact of death. As the impression was final, the first record of it should remain untouched in order to remain faithfuL She therefore simply repro duces the Sketches, making no other change than in the headings announcing the death in each case. For convenience of reference, and for the sake of something like order in the presentment of materials so various, the personages are classified. In each group, however, there is no other precedence than the date of departure. Forty-six persons undergo Miss Mitford's scrutiny, divided into the categories of Literary, Scientific, Professional, Social, Political and Royal celebrity. They are the flower of English public life during the last fifty years; the sketches were begun in 1852. We commence our extracts with Miss Martineau's first character—that Becky Sharp without venom on the sharpness— AMELIVL OPIE She sang finely—ballads sung with heartfelt impulse and pathos, and without accompani ment. Those who. as children, heard her sing "Laid Illlin's Daughter," will never forgot it. They cannot now read the "Come back" of that ballad, without feeling again the anguish con veyed in those heart-rending tones. The Prince Regent heard them. He went to a supper some where to hear Mrs. °pie sing—not long before the change which stopped her singing every where but beside her old father's chair. When she begun to grow elderly, Amelia °pie became divots. Her life had been one of strong excite ments ; and nearly she loved excitement: and there was a promise of a long course of stimula tion in becoming a Quaker, which probably im pelled her unconsciously to take the decided stop which astonished all her world. During Mr. Ople's life, excitements abounded. After his death, and when her 'mourning was over, she wrote little novels, road them to admiring friends in Norwich, who cried their eyes out at the pathetic scenee,ruad in her dramatic manner, and then she carried, them to London, got considerable BMUS by them enjoyed the homage they brought 113 her feet, sang at supper-tables, dressed splendidly, did not : scruple being present at Lady Cork's and ethers' Sunday concerts, and was very nearly marrying a younger brother of Lord Bute. Lord Herbert Ste Wart's carriage appeared, and made a great clatter in the narrow streets of Norwich; and the Old gentleman was watched into Dr. Alderson's house; and the hours were counted which he spent, it was supposed, at Mrs. Ople's feet. But it came to nothing. For a While she continued her London visits, and her proud father went about reading her letters about her honors. But she suddenly discovered that all is vanity. She took to gray silks and muslin, and the "thee" and "thou;" quoted Habakkuk and Micah with gusto, and set her heart upon preaching. That, however, was not allowed. Ber Quaker friends could never be sufficiently sure how much was "imagination," and how ranch the instigation of "the inward witness," and the privileged gallery in the chapel was closed against her, and her utterance was con fined to loud sighs in the body of the Meeting. She tended her father unremittingly in his de cline; she improved greatly In balance of mind and evenness of spirits during her long and close intimacy with the Gurneys, and there never was any doubt about her beneficent disposition, shown by her family devotedness, no less than by her bounty to the poor. Her ma jestic form moved through the narrowest streets of the ancient city, and her bright face was seen • lighting up the most wretched abodes. The face never lost its brightness, nor the heart its youth , ,folness and gayety. She was a merry laugher in her old age, and even, it the truth be spoken, sllll. a pit of a romp—ready for bo-peep and blde-and-seek, In the midst of a morning call, or at the end of a grave conversation. She enjoyed showing , prim young Quaker girls her orna -)piehts, nlumee and eaune, and telling when she she Ingeniously ',yore them; and, when in Pane, exhibited in her letters, Lother Quaker friends, , conflict in her feellngs*hen Louis Philipp tended by his stair, stoppol to converse, with her in the streets of Paris, , end when the Queen of, the French requested her to appoint an evening , . or a party;at the Tuileries.

FLIT •NORTIL His moods were as various as those of the Mother Nature ho adored. In 1815, when all the rest of the world‘was in the dark about the Scotch novels, he was in excessive delight - at receiving from William Laidlaw, the evidence that Colonel Mannering was Scott himself; and deep in pro portion was his grief when be saw that genial mind going out. The trembling of his mighty' voice when he paid his tribute to Scott's genius at the public meeting after his death moved every heart present. He could enter into the. spirit of Lake scenery deeply with Wordsworth when floating on Windermere at sunset; and he could, as we see by Moore's Diary, imitate Wordsworth's monologues to admiration under the lamp at a jovial Edinburgh supper-table. Ho could collect as strange a 'set of oddities about him there as ever Johnson or Fielding did in their City lodg ings; and he could wander alone for a week along the trout streams, and by the mountain tame of Westmoreland. THE ORONTES. Bow terrible some of their - experience of life was, in the midst of the domestic freedom and indulgence afforded them by their studionsfather, may be seen by the fearful representations of masculine nature and character found in the novels and tales of Emily and Ann. They con sidered it their duty, they told us, to present life OS they knew II; and they gave us "Wuthering Beig.hts," and "The Tenant of Midden Hall." Such an experience as this indicates is really per plexing to English people in general; and all that we have to do with it is to bear it in mind when disposed to pass criticism on the coarseness which to a certain degree pervades the works of all the sisters, and the repulsiveness which makes the tales by Emily and ADD really horrible to people who have not iron nerves. MRS. WORDSWORTH'S "INNOCENT INSOLENCE. " It was so unlike Mrs. Wordsworth, with her kindly, oheery, generous turn, to say that a green field with buttercups would answer all the pur poses of Lancashire operatives, and they did not know what to do with themselves when they came among the mountains, that the innocent in solence could do no harm. It became a fixed sentiment when she alone survived to uphold it; and one demonstration of it amused the whole neighborhood in a good-natured way. "People from Birthwaite" were the bugbear—Birthwaite being the end,Otthe railway. In the summer of 1857,Mr5. Wordeworth's companion told her (she being then blind) that the?& were some strangers in the garden—two or three boys on the Mount, looking. at the view. "Boys from Birth waite," said the old lady, in the well-known tone which conveyed that nothing good could come from Birthwaite. When the strangers were gone, it appeared that they were the Prince of Wales and his companions. IHACACI.AT The child Of a philanthropist, Thomas Maeaulay wanted heart; this was the one deficiency which lowered the value of all hls other gifts. He never suspected the deficiency himself; and be might easily be unaware of it; fer he had kindliness, and for anything we know, a good temper; but of the life of the heart he knew nothing. He talked about it, as Dr. Blacklock, the blind poet, wrote descrip trots of scenery—with, a complete conviction that he knew all about it; but the actual expe renco was absent. From the eclectic character of his mind it has been said that Macaulay thought by proxy. This was in the main true; but it was more remarkably true that he felt by proxy. As a talker, his powers were perhaps unrivalled. It was there that he showed what he could do without the preparation which might, if it did not, insure the splendor of his essays and his oratory. At the dinner-table he poured out his marvellous eloquence with a rapidity equalled only by that of his friend Hallam's utterance. He talked much, if at all; and thus it was found that it did not answer very well to invite him with Jeffrey and Sidney Smith. Jeffrey c:Hild sit silent for a moderate time with serenity. Sydney Smith could not without annoyance. Both had had three years of full liberty (for they did not I interfere with each other) during Macaulay's absence; but he eclipsed both on his return. After sonic years, when his health and spirits were de clining, and his expectations begun to merge is consciousness of failure, he sometimes sat quiet on such occasions, listening or lost, in thought, us might happen. It was then that Sydney Smith uttered his celebrated saying about his con versational rival: "Macaulay is improved! Yes, Macaulay is improved! I have observed in him of late bashes—of silence!" MACAULAY'S HISTORY. The sober deciriou already awarded by Time is that the work is not a History; and that it ought never to have been so called, while the characters of real men were treated with so little regard to truth. Of praise and profit Macaulay had his fill, immediat ly and tumultuously; and openly and heartily he enjoyed it. But the cri tical Impeachments which followed must have keenly annoyed him, as they would any man who cared for his honor, as a re;ater of facts, and a reporter and judge of the characters of dead and defenceless men. Failing health added its dissuasion to industry. He became subject to bronchitis to a degree which rendered his achievements and his movements uncertain. He was once more elected for Edinburgh fah's ab sence; and it was on this return to the House that the rush to hear him was so remarkable a spectacle. He spoke seldom; and men felt that their opportunities would henceforth be few. Before his retirement from the House of Commons In 1856, he was the mere wreck of his former self. His eye was deep-sunk and often dim, his full face was wrinkled and haggard; his fatigue in utterance was obviously very great: and the tremulousness of limb and feature melan choly to behold. In 1857 he was raised to the Peerage; a graceful compliment to literature. Macaulay'e was mainly an intellectual life, brilliant and stimulating, but cold and barren as regards the highest part of human nature. As in his tistory there Is but one touch of tender ness—Henrietta Wentworth's name carved upon the tree—so in his brilliant and varied display of power in his life, the one thing wanting is heart. IJR-9. JAMISON'S MARRIAGE And here it's best to say the little that should be said about the marriage of the parties. Mr Jameson was a man of considerable ability and legal accomplishment, filling with honor the poets of Speakerof the House of Assembly of Upper Canada rind the Attorney-General of the Colony: and he is spoken of with respect by his personal friends in England; but the marriage was a mistake on both ,sides. The husband and wile replanted almost immediately,and for many years. In 1836, Mrs. Jameson joined her hus band at Toronto; but It was for a very short time; and they never met agate. This is all that the world has any business with, and this chief interest to the world, even that tar, arises from the effect produced on Mrs. Jameson's views of lite and love, of persons and their experience, by her irksome and unfortunate position duriug desolate wedded life of nearly thirty years. Mr. Jameson died in 1854. HUM.IIOLUT'S COURT LITE. He was in England in 1826. He was then re lorded as an elderly man—being fifty-seven years old—and notorious for a quarter of a century. But he was just about to make trial of a new mode of life; sad there were, after that, extensive travels before him. He fixed his abode at Berlin, and immediately became a royal favorite, and coiasequently, a poll. Belau. He was made a Councillor of State, and tried his band at diplomacy. But those are not the things by which he will be remembered; 'and nobody cares to dwell on that part of his life; ex cept those who would fain have Englishmen sCie that tEe foreign method of rewarding scientific or literary service by political office seems never to answer well in practice. In most cases the practice is simply the spoiling of two things by mixing them; in Humboldt's case, we merely forget the political part of his career, which was the artificial portion of his life, ne it was the nat ural portion of his brc.ther's. When Alexander came to England with the King of Prussia,' on occasion of the baptism of the Prince of Wales, his appearance in the royal suite gave a sort of jar to English associations about the _dignity of science. It was felt that that splendid brow wore the true crown; and many a cheek flushed when the sage played the courtier, and had to consult the royarpleasure about his engagements with our scientific men, as a lacquey asks leave to go out. It ie. certain, however, that Humboldt took kindly to that sort of necessity. Ho was a coop. tier all over.

Tho effect was not good finally on hie own position in the House and before the country; for there were many who bad no mind for jesting, and longed for earnest ness on serious occasions, This was a small matter, however, compared with the feeling which wsegrowing up against him as the man who, so far from using his popularity to restore and establish the principle and method of gov ernment by parties, employed his influence in weakening an political principle, and 'melting down the whole substance of political conviction, by his treatment of all groat vitiations, and his tone in regard to the gravest, as well as the most transient interests which lay under his hand. By his levity he made many things easy; by his in dustry he accomplished a vast ainount of busi ness; by his gay spirits he'made a sort of holt4ay of the grave course of the national life. But he has done nothing to fit his country, or his party, or even his nearest associates, for a wise conduct of national affairs in the time to come. One reason of the general sorrow for his death is the general misgiving as to what is to come next. We find our selves adrift,withent party, principle orparposea by which to direct our thought and our action. Experience, more or less painful,will remedy the evils which our popular Minister has wrought to us and for us; but, at the moment we find our selves with the most unpromising of all now Parliaments, and with no statesman to guide our destinies, and no such political training as is needed to bring ont such statesmanship as may exist, or to supply its place, if absent, with the conscience, the earnestness, the thoughtful habit and the temper of deference to human nature and human interests which go far to supply the need of genius for public affairs. Lord Palmerston will be remembered with much admiration and afl'ection; but for national gratitnde there will he, perhaps, less occasion and less room as the years pass on. Ile eta nut claim the peculiar reverent con side ration usually paid to old age; but it will not be forgotten that he worked on to the eighty-second year of his life, with little relax ation of power, and none of will. He did his best for his country; and the country, always sensible of his services, is not ungrateful now. TUE DrCHESS OF KENT, AFTER THE ACCESSION OF 'VICTORIA. The day at last dawned for which she had lived FO devotedly for so many years; and it found her wakeful and prepared. The early eon was shin lag In, that Midsummer morning—it was before five o'clock ou the 20th of JEDS—when the doors of the palace were thrown open to admit the Primate, the royal physician, and the Lord Chamberlain, who came to greet the Princess as Queen. The Duchess and her daughter were standing ready for the announcement, and pre pared for the trying traneactione of the day. From the day when Prince Albert entered upon the scene, and, yet more,trom the hour when Sir Robert Peel assumed Lord Melbourne's place as the Queen's chief adviser, everything brightened to the Duchess of Sent. The Queen has never been more heartily cheered than when, instantly after the first of the silly pistol-shots which were at one time discharged at her by stupid boys to make themselves famous, she altered the course of her drive, and went to in form her mother of the attempt in person, before she could be alarmed by the rumor of it. That was in 1840. The latter years of the venerable Duchess have been filled with interest and with cheerfulness by the arrival of a long succession of grandchildren, by their growth and expansion into promise of various kinds, and by the early settlement in life of the eldest. At the marriage of the Princess Royal, her grandmother was observed to he much altered, and to be in very delicate health. She had sustained the shock of her son's death a year or two before, and her life had been ou the whole one of wear and tear which rendered it somewnat surprising that she should have passed the old threescore years and ton. Sae accomplished, with little flagging, the periodical removals to Scotland, the Isle of Wight, Windsor sad London, which werh us regularly established for her as for the court, and, bodily suffering apart, her old age was a happy one, many of its hours being passed in her royal daughter's presence. and many more cheered by the affectionate attentions of her grandchildren. As for the people of England, they received her with manifest respect, wher ever elle appeared; and she must have been `al most tired of hearing, for many years before her death, that that respect was;oilered as her due for the boon she had.conferred on the nation in the virtues of her daughter. The same thing must be told once more, however, though her ear is now dead to human praise. It must be told in history We were noticing the other; day the story "Arne," by the Norway author Bji rnson—a. tale slight, scintillant and fitful as a firefly, but worthy to be preserved forever amid the balm of its native pines and in the hearts of the Norwegians. Leypoldt & Holt, the American publishers, now send us another tale by the same writer, in a tasteful English trepidation by M. E. Niles. The present work is the latest of the author, and was published originally last year. While we are not sure that it is so per. feet as "Arne," we are perfectly certain that those who appreciate the latter will not rest until they have perused its pages. It the story of a wild hoyden of the North, a "love-child" who lived alone with a strange, man-like mother. it tells of her escapades, her impulses of genius, the strange. WaY in which she is moved -to new *iodations and resting- places through the inborn errantry of her nature —then her first sight of Oehlenschlitger's play of Axel and Vaiborg in the theatre at Bergen—and the Introduction into her soul;of that art-leaven that will not rest until it hes made her an /i tictreee. The story closes, in a . • . . . We receive through Claxton, Remsen Haffelfinger the following acting editions of Edwin Booth's raw Richard HI, Macbeth, Merchant of Venice and Romeo and Juliet; also The Fool's Revenge and Lady of Lyons. The necessary cutting is done with great respect and judgment —Booth always use 9 Shakespeare as Izaak Walton did the frog, "as though he loved him—that he may live the longer." The historical remarks, advice on costume, and notes, attached by H. L Hinton, are quite learned and_helpful. Each play forms a well-printed and respectable looking pamphlet, at 30 cents. Published try Hurd dr. Houghton. We were noticing the other day the Mon street Afarins of Hachette's BibliothNue des Merveilles. The series seems to be uni form y excellent. We have just received from the importers, John Penington & Son, another volume of the set, illustrating the whole history of Arms and Armor. The author is P. Lacombe, and his monogram is particularly full on the weapons of the French, from the Gauls down. The neat and abundant illustrations are a treasure for the historical painter. This attractive series is, of course, being translated. Scribner sends us a couple of specimens through Claxton, Remsen Haffelfinger. One is "The Wonders of Optics," from the French of Marion, by C. Quin, F. C. S. The other is "Thunder and Lightning,",by de Fonvielle,translation of Prof. T. L. Phipson. We think nothing has ever been devised, in so short compass, equally adapted to excite the youthful mind with the wonders of science and art. The publishers have given us excellent transla tions by competent, scientific men; the en gravings, however, have lost moat of their beauty by the transfer, and It is strange that Messrs. Scribner & Co. have not purchased electrotypes of the original plates from Hachette. The whole series, in French, forms a respectable library of thirty or more books, and we sincerely hope Messrs. Scribner (43 Co. will have them all translated in succession. • Few would deny that the Parisians are an ingenious race, but their ingenuity is perhaps nowhere more conspicuously displayed than in devices by which they contrive to show their political opinions without unpleasant consequences to themselves. On Sunday last, one of the "conferences," now so much the fashion in Paris, was held at the Theatre de l'Ambigu-Comiquo on "the phenomena of light;" a subject one would have thought about as trripolitioal as could well have been chosen. Not a bit of it. The lecturer, in order to demonstrate certain theories, pro ceed to enlarge some photographs of cele brated persons. Now this being done by means of a strong magnesium light, all the theatre, except in the immediate neighbor hood of the operator, ivas in almost total darkness. The audience could be heard, not seen. The portrait of the Emperor was re ceived with a storm of hisses and cries of "A. la porte!" "Vive la Republique ! " "Il e'en ira, bientbt," &c. Thiit of the Empress met with a worse reception, if possible, than her husband's. On the other band, the portrait of Maximilian was received with cheers and cries of "Qui l'a, trahi ? " Maximilian, as a bystander remarked, probably owed his pop ularity to the tact of his having been shot The operator, like a prudelit mau, soon brought his experiments to an end, and when the gas was turned on the "agenta" were very busy looking about; but of course, every one looked intensely loyal. Cau any one fancy a similar scene at one of Professor Agassiz's Lectures. —The Abbd Liszt has been playing at Weimar, at a concert given in celebration of the birthday of the Princess Mario.

Dovun, Del., March 17, 1869.—The eruption of the volcano so long threatened in Delaware has at last actually broken out In the shape of several tax,bills, , which have been introduced into the House by the Committee on Ways and Means, the first of which relates to taxing railroads and canab in the State. Owing to the refusal of the P. W. & B. R. R. Co. Wray the alleged unconstitutional tax of ten cents on each passenger going over the road through this State, suit has been entered by the State to, collect, if possible, said tax. This is all the tax which has heretofore been exacted from the road, which in itself has been sufficient to pay the interest on the State debt and create a small sinking fund besides. In addition to the tax thus paid, the present bill provides for the collection of an additional tax of per cent. on the income of the company, and one-fitth of one per cent. ou the gross receipts and the cash value of each share of stock held in the State. Each loco motive is taxed $lOO, each passenger ear $25, and each, freight car and truck, $lO. The Railroad Company ivilipay assessments made against the road, but will collect it from the people of the State in the way of higher rates for travel and freight. Following close upon the heels of this bill comes another of more general character, im posing heavy taxes upon the manufacturing in terests of the State. • One-half of one per cent. on the gross receipts of all manufactories is to be collected, and one fifth of one per cent. is assessed upon the gross receipts of all descriptions of merchants. One-half of one per cent. is also assessed upon the face of all bonds and mortgages. „ The third tax bill introduced taxes National and State Banks one half of one per cent. on Ow cash value of each anus of stock held in' such banks. The foregoing are the main features of the tax bills, which , have been so long iu preparation by the ablest lawyers of the State, who, by the way, have very magoauhnously exempted themselves from taxation. Complaints and remonstrances aro pouring in from all sections of the State against the enact :, of such woppressive law. Party lines are forgo nd a general uprising of the people is Imminent, . But the State of Ddlawarc which, before the late war, was free from debt, 'IS now paralyzed by her folly In showing her sympathy with those in arms against the General Govern ment. The debt under which the Btabris now labon lug was created for the purpose of paying her citiiens for staying at home If drafted the BUM of $2OO, but ntit one so tiny cent was ever given to • the patriotic eiticen w,hck volunteered hie servicea r in the hottiothia country's need.: Truly she fans' sown to the wind and is tkow reaping the whirl wind. Anotheirivenue 'scheme :has been introduced into the Legislature 'in the shape of a 'lottery grant. It is propeked to charter a lottery com pony' by - "the payment 'of bonus — of e 600,000, to be pall to-..the State in forty seven annual payments •of $15,000 _each,_ end the money thus received is' to be applied to the paymant'of 'the; State 'bonds' - maturity. This proposition,' notwithstanding its immoral tendency? meets- with , such' favorable, support from the members of.the Legislature, under:the .pecnliaLflnancial kiLfliculties of the State; that the prospect of the:passage of the bill is, under the circumstances, rendered , at least favorable. Although several revenue bills have been intro ' dined, they are of such an,unpopular character some that entirely new planmay yet be devised to extricate the: State from its unpleasant dlletntna, but it cannot be done without money, and that cOmmodity is very scarce in • ' DELAWARE. The “BussMention , ' or Central asla. A letter from Bamarcand--"sliken 'Samar candn—in the loloscow Gazette gives some Interesting information as' to the latest doings of the Ruseians in Central Asia. "Samar cand," says the writer, "may now b9,r 5 :- garded as a Russian town. It is the -head quarters of the government of the newly con qnered district of Zariayshan, whose Gover nor is Malor-General Abrateoff. The district consists of two divisions, f3arnarcand and Katty-Kourghan. In the latter the com mandant, is Colonel Karghanoff. * * Nearly all the troops that were under the command of General Kaufmann are stationed here." The correspondent then gives a de scription of kiamarcand, and says that Vara bery's account is tolerably accurate, except that there is no large library in the town, and the stonework of Tamarlane'a throne is white, and not blue. He adds that permanent barracks are now being constructed, for the Russian troops, and that the citadel is so strongly built that no Asiatic army could take it. He - praises the enterprising snirit of the Russian tradesmen who have established themselves in the town,but complains bittern , of their greed for money. "If you only knew," is his pathetic exclamation, "what we pay for candles and sugar a pound, and for wine a bottle r The authorities arcipusily engaged in establishing a•safe means,oTtom munication between the principal places in the district and -Tashkend. "A. fort is being built on the road between Samarcand and Yany-Konrghan, and a citadel at Katty- Kourgban, near the Bokharian frontier. Hitherto the passage, not only of an army, but even of small caravans, through what is called the •hunery steppe' between Cbynaz and Djuzak (the shortest road from Samarcand to Tashkend) has been rendered extremely difficult in consequence of the want of water. The Russian authorities have lately dug for wells in this steppe with ex cellent results. At Monrza-Rabat the well is eleven arshins (about thirty feel) deep, and at the first station after Djuzak nine arshins. The last is well protected with stones, and yields a large qnantity of water, which is sweet and pleasant to the taste. * * The Kirghiz in the vicinity have asked permis sion of the local Governor to cultivate this steppe; and if all our plans are realized this district will soon become populous, and it will be easy to establish permanent Russian eanisons both at Samarcand and at Katty- Kourgban."

Marine Intelligence. NEW Yoilk, March 17.--Arrlved. steamship Germania, from dotithampton. (Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.t NEW YORK, March 17.—Petroleum quiet, but steady. Crude, 1634(417. Refined, 31 on the spot, and 33 for April, May and June delivery. The New 'York Money Market. iSpecial Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.) Esc Torn:, March 17.—The money market is a shade firmer and more active, though there is no change from yesto - dare rates. There is no anticipation of a tight money market at present arising from any sales of gold by the Treasury. as the currency balance had been aug tuented nine millions by the transfers to this city from other quarters. Discounts are dull, ranging from 8 to 10 per cent for prime paper. Gold is strop ,ranging from 1,31% 1a5121.4. The firmness is induced by the lower .quotations of the boards in London and the possible complication with Spain growing out of Cuban matters. The races for carrying range from l to 7 per cent, but most of the loans are at 4to 5. Governments dull and heavy in conse quence of the firmness of the gold market, and the . decline of bonds' in London. There are a fewoffering which are readily • taken by prominent dealers. The Stock Market is without any interesting feature, although strong, with small sales. Northwestern liallroakshares-are particularly firm, and sold as high as s 4 for common and 92 for preferred, owing to the in. creased earnings of_the road,, amounting to 880.635 daring the;second: week of March over the corresponding week of lest year. Pacific Mail continues to decline owing to the canoes stated yesterday. It is now quoted at 943c1., Quicksilver recovered yesterday's decline and sold up to 21. The other miscellaneous shares are firm, Reading ranges from 91, e' to 9134. ' - Geld subsequently fell to 131%1 13136.apparenti . Y.main'Y in sympathy with the despatch stating that Kr. Wilson will press his bill for a redistribution - of the Nationel Bank Currency, and authorizing the bane of 81100.900.00 e more of notes. and the ;withdrawal of 8100 000,000 green backs. The report,tbatMn Sumner doeb, not intend de livering hie promlsedseoch on the Alabama question sib , contributed to the decline. , Loan'.have been made at 8,54(a7 per cent for carrying. . . BOYD, L.
