John B. Gough at the Academy of Music last Evening. The lecture at the Academy of Music last evening, by John B. Gough, Esq., was a great sucoesi. Mr. Gough le on the lecture platform what Forreet li ou the stage— a star of the first magnitude, that never falls to attract, Irrespective of time, place, subject, or weather. The audience last evening wae immense, and the furore of «ntbusia*m with which the lecturer was received was •Dost flattering. At the appointed hourj the lecturer appeared upon the ■tage, accompanied by ex-Governor Pollock, George H. fttuart, Rsq., Itev. John Chambers, and a large uumber of clergymen of various religious denominations, every foot of the stage being occupied with auditors. Mr. Cough was introduced by ex-Governor Pollock, who said Chat he had no doubt that the audience present wars diepoetd to extern! a cordial weloometo Mr. Gough, and however sordini it might be, it was richly deserved. The subject upon which he was to speak was “ Man and ills Master.** He also stated, in this connection, that the subject of the lecture proposed to be delivered on Friday night would be “Here and Thore in Britain,** Mr. Gough then rose, and, in his usual, unpretending, Almost waggish style, commenced his semi dramatic per* Xormance, a title which better defines what it ready was Shan that of lecture . He said, in opening, that he was well aware that the subject of his Iwturpj “ Man and his Muter,” was a very suggestive one, and it would necessarily embrace more than one theme. The mightiest battles that had over keen fought in the world had been fought for liberty. It •was the noblest object to fight for, and the man or wo anan who wae not willing fa fight for hifl or her freedom, twee, he said, not worthy to possess it. He proceeded but » few minutes before entering upon his peculiar field of anecdote, in which, beyond all question, Gough is inimi table. To repeat these in mute print, abridged at Xhafc, would necessarily rob them of their pith and yowM. A. few. however, may he Indicated. A &&n kefl the market place aad questioned the gnerhsntableoharactcr of a piece of meat on one of the (stalls. Said the man, “That meat don't look good ; did tithe critter die I” “ No,” was the reply, “it kind ’o gin ■out” [Laughter.] Applying thU to the rebellion, Mr. Gough said* Secession was not exactly dead, hat it was ■rapidly ginning out. [Renewed laughter.] Taking up the subject of Slavery, Mr. Gough, by his own dramatic logic, showed shat there are many kinds -of slavery besides that type associated with cotton and plantations, and whips and bloodhounds, atd bars and kolt* and dungeons, although the onormitios of the toi ler were painted with a few nervous touchts in a manner lhat evidently met the response of the audience. Far snore universal anymore terrible, howover* were the -warious phases of moral slavery exhibited in society. Men who made themselves slaves to their vices wore, moreover, meaner slaves than were ever bought or sold dollars In a Southern market-place. A man might be a subject of chattel slavory and yet fee “ the Lord's free manbut not so the man who was chained to an evil habit. Once in the whirlpool of such Labits, pleasantly soiling round and round its charmed Xi®, the man who boasted of his ability to change his camse wben he pleased, was, in ninety-nine cases in a hundred, irretrievably ruined. To escape from the meshes of bad habits required a mighty effort; but as freedom was always worth fighting for, the battle should ke waged. The growing power of appetite for tobacco, spirituous ♦od malt liquors was next illustrated with numerous hu amorous anecdotes, grave and ludicrous by turns, but al ways pointed and convincing. Of course, on the subject ofdfVttl'tng Mr. Gough was more elaborate and diffuse fihan on any other. Henry Clay had once said that war, famine, and pesti lence, were tbe three greatest curses or a nation. Ho, Ihe lecturer, believed that the three greatest curses of Ibis nation were War, Slavery, and Drunkenness , under «U three of which our country was now suffering. He knew that.fprimarily, slavery was the cause of this war, yet it n>usr not be overlooked that tbe power of rum, Srom our-prlaiary election* np i to the highest places in Aha Gosagmasayhad paved the way to the worst aifiic lions of the nation. He was assured, indeed, that great good would result from this conflict to preserve the best Government on earth. The world had never seen such •a army, composed as it was of sis hundred thousand woldiera, without » single pressed man among them, and ke thanked God for being allowed to live amid such un kxampled demonstrations of patriotism. In this connection a handsome compliment was paid to bur city, by the speaker, for the hospitality extracted to 6he soldiers in passing through it. He said the Massa chusetts men could hardly speak of Philadelphia without •bedding tears of gratitude. Tie thanked God, also, that the Government had put men in place who were not Afraid to tackle traitors. Ths audience applauded tire lecturer's remarks on this Head vociferously. He didnot say that Stone was guilty Snjb# Ball's Bluff tragedy, but if he teas guilty, he would My that ha hoped the wounded men of the Massachusetts would be allowed to put their kullets through bis traitor heart. Mr. Gough spoke bis with much fooling, evidently evoked by his refe rence to the death of several noble fellows, personally known to him, in that regiment, who had been sacri ficed in that unhappy affair. He knew that fur the time boing All other subjects were eclipsed by the war, yet he felt that the cause of tempe rance was of no less importance, interwoven as it was Kith the present condition and great destiny of the nation. At the close of his lecture, Mr. Gongh gratified the au dience with a repetition of his celebrated “ Apostrophe to CAM Water,” which in, we think, justly regarded m one of the fittest gems of descriptive rhetoric ever penned or Uttered. Wo have heard Mr. Gough deliver it there times within the law five years, never exactly in the asms words, but each successive time, if anything, more truly eloquent. I>tirlug its delivery the audience were literally spoil-bound by the brilliant word-figures as in panoramic, vocal grandeur the distillattofif of na tural beverage for man was traced from the murmuring kreok, in the green, sunny vale, where the child loves to play, to the beautiful rainbow of promise, whose warp is the reindrop of earth, and whose woof is the sunlight of heaven. The applause which followed tLIs was over whelming. The lecture was nearly an hour and three quarters in length. From Com. Porter’s Mortar Fleet—Er perimentsvat Sea. United States Schooner \ Norfolk Packet, at Sea, March 1,1352. j Yesterday afternoon wa fired our thirteen-inch mortar for the first time at sea. The wind was Tery light, the sea quiet, and the day pleasant and sunny. In order to make the trial sufficiently thorough, the piece was loaded as if for actual bombardment, with the full charge of twenty of ponder and a shill iveiglttng over two hundred pounds^ The mortar was trained directly abeam, and re ceived an elevation of about forty l five degrees. The machinery for training the piece is remarkably compact,, and, although difficult to understand, with its eccentric and other novel pieces of iron- Jitongery, aeema to work with ease and precision. The foresail, foretopsail, and the head eaiU of the Wohooner were lowered away and hauled over to whidward. All the shin’s company, except the powder division, who were below attending to their peculiar duties, stood on deck, mostly in the rear of the piece. The word to fire was given, and al !ib6&t immediately the stunning report followed. The mortar recoiled eighteen inohes, and, as the shell went humming away, all eyes were turned to see it explode. The shell was half a minute in its fight , and when it burst, was apparently several hundred feet "n the air, and distant by computation more than two miles. All we saw of the explosion was the pudden appearance in the sky of a little cloud of pmoke, resembling a balloon. Ten seconds after dirst seeing the cloud we heard tha report. It Hounded line an answering gun from one of the ships in the offing. The little cloud slowly in creased in size, and faded away till its outlines were lost. Several curious incidents attended the firing. The facings of the bulwarks between the ports on the larboard side, that from'whioh the shell was thrown, were blown off and fell- into the water. Several glass windows were broken in the ward room, and sasbeMrere violently thrown open. The jmrtition between the cabin and ward-room was started, and tables were jostled out of place. Bub these little mishaps obviously resulted from the concussion of the air caused by the explosion of so heavy a charge, and were not produced by the re coil of the mortnr. Persons who wero on duty be* low S&y that the shock which the Tercel felt was lose severe than that attending the discharge of cue of our thirty-two-pounders.—i\T. Y. Evening JPost. THE CITY.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. THE MONEY MARKET. PtmADiurmA, Harthia, 1862. The stock market was dull to-day, but without falling off in prices. Pennsylvania fives were firm, with sales at 84#; City sixes sold at 97# and 97# for the new issues; Pennsylvania Railroad shares at 46; Beading Bailroad shares at 21# ; Long Island Railroad at 11#. Passenger Railway shares are in better demand, Greea and Coates street sold at 22#• Frankford and Southwark at 48; Girard College at 17, and Arch-street at 18. Race and Vine-street sold at B#.

According to tbe Chicago Tn'buntj a new staple will hereafter be regularly produced by the fertile Western States—namely, the Chinese sugar cane. The farmers not only raise tbe amount «r sugar necessary for their home consumption, but are nearly ready, the Tribune says, “to enter the market and compote with producing sections which have heretofore held almost a monopoly It Is certain the cane will grow and yield a large supply of the raw material, and at a large profit, and the farmers of Illinois and lowa, who raised, for an expert* ment, last season, a simple half acre, will, the presen year, put in from five to twenty acres, and commercia importance thus pertains to the matter, out of which will be developed acme more general and systematic method of refining and crystalizatiug, since the latter is sure to follow proper process. We are confident that it will tempt tho corporation of capitalists to introduce new and improved methods throughout all tbe fanning districts. * Ono thing is necessary—that greater uniformity* and more general excellence of qua* lity, is demanded to present to the trade a fully mer chantable article. The crop once well established, the work of refining must centre in large mills, properly lo cated, to which the farmer brings in his cane for prepa ration on shares, or sold outright as raw material to the mill owner. Nothing else will prove satisfactory. The farmer cannot well take the risk, or undergo the labor and trouble of preparing for market the yield of from half a score to a score of acres. The lowa papers are also discussing this matter, and it is thought that another season will see the yield of many thousand acres needing theme processes, requiring operations on a scale far be yond what has yet been reached. Unless this want is pro vided for, it is argned that an inevitable disappointment awaits the farmers.” The Cincinnati Gasetie of March 11 says: Some of the bankers experienced an Improved demand for money to-day, but this iym not general, and in the aggregate the offerings were moderate, and considerably below the me an iat the disposal of the leading lenders for discount purposes Bates of interest range from Bto 12 per cent.—lo per cent, the leading figure. The exchange market exhibited no new feature. The bus ing rate la now almost uniform at par, but there is still enough done at # discount to justify, for the pre sent, the continuance of the inside quotation. Ait good tames, however, are taken by bankers, from their cus tomers, at par, and the receipts to day were not so large as last week—not much, if any, in excess of the sales. Bankers’ checks are steady at # prem. Gold is dull at 1 prem. buying, and 2 prem. selling. The st, Louis pswocrutsAye thut exchange there is in abundant supply, and gold a drug in the market. Cur rency is not very abundant, particularly Bmalt notes of Missouri banks. Tbis fact makes it difficult to keep the retail trade of the city supplied with small money. De mand treasury notes are the preferred currency of the country, and they are being .’brought Into circulation more generally in the West than heretofore! Tlie,Chicago Times of March 11 says : Money is plenty and easily obtained, provided the right security is offered, but the baukera are cautious, and second-class borrowers stand a poor chance for get ting accommodations. The currency in circulation is composed of Eastern bank notes and treasury demand notes, the latter being treated as preferred, and are not paid out UDleoa necessity requires it. The Exchange market is hardening and rates to-day are very firm. Several of the bankers report a scarcity, with some difficulty in meeting the demand. The selling price to-day was # of 1 per cent, premium, though out siders would have to pay a'fraction above this. The buying price was par©# premium. ‘We do not think that rates will change materially., in view of the near ap proach of the openiDg of navigation, which bids fair to take place at an early period. There is a vast amount of produce In store here waiting for this event, and business will undoubtedly become brisk when flour and grain can move forward by water. Exchange, we take it, must rule easy after the present stringency is over. The Nev York Evening I*osi of to-day says : The stock market is tame to-day. There Is some ap prehension about Bur mice and the Jfem’mac, and until tbis Is removed prices will probably undergo no great change. The market, however, is steady at the quota tions, lacks the speculative vigor which marked the dealings previous to the evacuation of Manassas. There was a further rise of 1 per cent, in Milwaukee and Prairie da Chien common stock, In view of the ac tion of the Wisconsin Leg isUture* whioh looks to the abrogation of the restriction thai stands in the way of a dividend. The ast sales were at 24# ©24#. Erie preferred does not maintain the advance of yes terday. The gales were at 60# ©6l, against Gl# ©6l# last evening. There was an improvement in Michigan Southern Sink ing funds and Michigan Central 8 per cents. The former touched 91, the latter 164. Panama is higher, selling at 120#©121. Pacific Mall is also firm at 95®96. The coal stocks remain weak, especially Delaware and Hudson. The immediate cause is the quarrel between the companies on rates for coals. The strongest of the Government list is the 7.30 trea sury notes, these being rapidly absorbed by investors. The sales were at w# 9097;, with ho largo lots offering, Government Sixes 01 lSbi show no material alteration. The registered and coupon both gold at 92# ©62?,'. Philadelphia Stock Exchange Sales.

The treasury notes are executed in such a stylo and manner as to make it almost a work of impossibility to counterfeit them, as much so as it would be for another person to manufac ture garments similar to those gotten np at the Mammoth Clothing Temple of GrnnYille Stokes, No. 60D Chestnut street, who has now on hand an assortment of spring garments not to be equalled by any other establishment in the city. “Time Works Wonders.—The late Dou glas Jerrold produced a comedy with the above name, which, proved very popular on the London boards. ’Without knowing the plot or the piece, we know the title is suitable for all places. Less than thirty years ago there was not known in this city such a thing as a ready-made clothing Btore, if we oxsept a few on Water street, kept by gentlemen of the “ circutncUed on the eighth day” persuasion, and intended only lor the pa tronage of mariners. Since then, to supply the wants of progressive age, the first artisans, with the employment of large capital, have established as a permanent institu tion the Ready-made Clothing Store. The advantages of a house of this class are manifold—first, saving of time; secondly, safety from risk, as no pArt of your clothing is paid for until it is complete and suits yon; thirdly, a bat* ter article for less money. We have not the space to expatiate upon'these points, but suffice It to say that to day a better suit of clothes for loss money can be had at Chaa. Stokes’ One-price Clothing Store, under the Con tinental Hotel, in Philadelphia, than perhaps any othor place in the world. Pillow asd Floil Suoi-esded.— lt seems that Jeff Davis does not consider the conduct of the braggart Pillow and the thief Floyd, at Fort Donelaon, satisfactory, and he hAS Accordingly suspended both. We trust that this is only preliminary to the final sus pension they will receive at tho hands of Undo Sam, if they should fall into bis clutches. Bolster the matter as they may, the Pillow-case shows the white feather very plainly; while Floyd has shown himself to be a better Land at stealing guns than at firing them. They are a bad lot all around, and we gladly turn from them to the consideration of tho more agreeable subject of the ele gant and substantial suits for soldiers and civilians made at the Brown Stone Clothing Hall of Rockhili & Wilson, Nob. 603 and 605 Chestnut street, above Sixth.
