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

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE MONEY MARKET.
PtmADiurmA, Harthia, 1862.

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

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?,'.

Me. Gough’s Lectures.— We have been
requested to state that the holders of tickets for Mr.
Gough’s lectures will observe the following: Reserved
seats will enter on Broad street; stage and orchestra
seats on Locust street, farthest door west of Broad; and
unreserved seats on Locust street, first door west of
Broad.
Fine Spanish Olives,—We yesterday saw
at the store of Mr. C. 11. Mattson, dealer in Fine Gro
ceries, Arch and Tenth streets, a fine lot of Spanish
Olives., jnnt received. The choicest and rarest goods in
the grocery line can always be had at Mr. Mattson’s.
Cannot be Counterfeited. —It was re
cently reported that the United States treasury five-dol
lar notes bad been counterfeited, and were circulated in
different parts of the country. This, we are informed,
ie not the case, or, if the notes hare been counterfeited,
none of them have been pat aiioat. 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.
