FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. THE MONEY MARKET. PiTILADELPHIA, December 27,1861 Thu stork market is rather unsettled, and the amount of business transacted light. The stock of the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company advanced ),;, and Camden and Amber Railroad shares gained X. , State bonds and City loans were not so firm as on yesterday. The money market is inert and dull. Only the best known and approved names can be sold, and of these - very few notes are offered for sale. The result of the Mistrust no long shown hy capitalists and bankers to wards business paper is becoming more and more appa rent in the growing scarcity of paper, many of the largest &Mora in all branches of trade refusing to sell goods ex- cept for cash. Renewed efforts will be made to induce Congress to loss a general bankrupt law at the present session, and cerininly If ever there was a time when the propriety of finch en enactment should not be Questioned, the present is that time. Thousands of honest men all over the Northern States have been suddenly cut off from even the hope of collecting the moneys duo them in the Muth• Ern half of the country and compelled by political causes to suspend pa) mind themselves. To keep a crushing votshe of old debts hanging like a millstone around the inns of these MO is only to deprive the country of the benefit of their industry, intelli gence, enterprise, and experience for no good or practical purpose whatever. It is meet anti fitting that they should be released front further liability on the surrender of all they possess to their creditors. The law can never release a man front ttiotol obligation:, :ttsl the honest man who egenum lates wealth in future labors will be likely to pay his debts to the last dollar. The prospect of the credi tors receiving full pay from the honesty of the debtor le greater when the debtor is released Pram the legal disabilities than it can be while, as at present, the debtor is by law prevented from making attempts to recommence business. He remains now comparatively useless and unprodeCtive. Ile and his 'family are mole or less dependent upon the labor and means of others for their very subsistence, while, if legally freed from old debts, ha might not only aiipport himself' mid his children, but accumulate new resources for the :benefit of the community. Thorn are many subjects of imperlanso demanding the attention of eofigrees ha the,e times of trouble, but scarcely any of more vital con pamence than this subject of a just and wise general bankrupt law.

The outsiders before the Board were anxious sellers of Central, Erie, ke., at lower fignres than the last sales of Thursday while at the Board the market was again stiff, and the buyers predominated. New York Central rose as high as 77, , i5r77,4, although Offered early in the morning at 76%07671. The cause of or influence to this firmness is yet a puzzle to a good inane of the street direetors_ They seem to have beau at fault in attributing it wholly to the Story of tie release of Slidell and Mason from Fort Warren. Against the rise it is alleged this morning that financial relations beta een the banks and the Treasury — the latter calling upon the former to-day for d3,ram,ooo ill goid— Is rendering the money market tighter. Abstractly this may be, and probably is, true; but if the sale of stocks Ls On contract merely—that is, shorten the enloulatlon of a fall in the money market, and there is no real Tressure of cash stocks—the argument is greatly weak ened. The political and faSitaff WWII ill the morning papers has apparently no marked Influence. At the same rime there is said to be private advice from Washington • of a pacific nature on our difficulty with England. The Western shares llud support in the returns of traffic for the second and third weeks in December. The Galena line more than doubles the third week of last De cember-541,026 against 518,600.

Yet our present rebellion was fraught with snore horrors in anticipation of the fratnellal arife—eivn war—brother against brother—and other thonghts so heart-rending, that men good and true, were, for a time, willing to throw overboard all principle for peace—turn Cowards and cravens, and prove themselves - unworthy a Government, so deep bad the love of trade and gain set tled in the public mind; yet, now, who would sue for tales at the expense of principle ?
