"the right book in the right place"—that
place being on the desk or the table of
all who take an interest in, or require in
formation respecting, the statistics of their
own and other countries. Mr. Childs, the
publisher, who is also projector and proprie

for the work far in advance of any present
ability to supply it., though the steam-presses
are engaged with it, night and day. Since
the day of publication, the demand has been
at the rate of a thousand copies a day. It

A RAINY SUNDAY
is not such a rarity of the season that your corm.
spondent need dilate upon its glum dampness and
dripping gloom. The principle of piety must be
strong in those who leave the fireside for the church
when all atmospheric space is a falling fringe of Wa
tery strings, and the sidewalks feebly steam with a
sticky mixture of melting snow and oozy mud. If
there be any worldlv_vanitv. ..alclergymanis
congregation,' it either stays irreligiously at
home on such a dismal Sabbath 'as :this, or is com
pelled to suffer the grievous humiliation of shabby
apparel in going to worship. In this latter case, it
is indeed a rare example of virtue in self-mortifica
tion, especially when exhibited by the softer sex ;
for when you see a woman who is content to guard
against the rain with a shabby bonnet and heavy
shoes, rather than not go to church, you may depend
upon it she is either a very exemplary Christian, or
—a very old maid.

and otter comfortable atapatqlomeaj it lit to be tel
gretted that the literature anti journalism of the
times afford so little reviling of the sort suitable for
a Sunday at home. Any man who remains in his
house on the first day of the week, will, from sheer
instinct, make it (to a greater or less degree)
a day of rest, and the only reading he can take con
amore must be of that wholesome, delicately-hearty
and genially imagined kind which excites no
engaging effort of the mind, and yet keeps
the senses sufficiently employed to turn any in
trusive drowsiness into the pleasantest languor of
wakefulness—reading, which carries you just so
far into the mind's calmly philosophizing noon, that
you lounge in that shadow of sleep which is cast by
the meridian sun, and know all the perfect peace of
slumber without its assimilation to death. A good,
scholarly Sunday paper, giving all the news concise
ly in the proper department, but devoting a majority
of its space to dignified criticism of intellectual sub
jects and literary contributions of a choice character,
would be a god-send to our community and sure to
succeed. The present Sunday press of this city has
no literary character at all; two of them—the Herald
and ilfereury—are among the best news-papers in the
country, the latter frequently beating the former in
getting news ahead; but a literary (as well as news)
Sunday paper of the kind I mean has yet to be start
ed here. if Dr. Mackenzie, or some other of your
Philadelphia literati, would come here and establish
such a Sunday paper, its success and stability would
certainly more than counterbalance those of that
new Philadelphia daily paper which some of our
New York quidnunca are insidiously planning to

bill "to prevent and punish frauds upon the re
venue." The committee object to the seventh
section, which empowers the collector to take sum
mary possession of any merchant's books and
papers where fraud is suspected ; and to section is,
which takes away the merchant's right to hold the
collector responsible for his acts. The committee
arc greatly disgusted with the idea of the "in
alienable rights " of merchant princes suffering
such arbitrary arrest, and 1 think the committee
ore right. If, upon mere suspicion, or the allegation
of a spiteful enemy, a merchant's whole business
may be brought to a standstill by the seizure orbits
books, and he is left altogether without reparation
in emu.. ho proves his innocence, what security can
commerce have against the rapacity of corrupt
officials, and the revenge of discharged employees?
HABEAS CORPUS
is supposed to be the "bulwark of our liberties,"
though it is much oftener the bulwark from behind
which we take all kinds of vicious - liberties with
justice. Not long ago, a gentleman of this city
found that his only son, a lad of eighteen, had fallen
into habits of gross dissipation, and was sinking
even to a lower depth of infamy under the wiles of
a daughter of shame. As threats and expostuls.tions
proved useless to turn the youth from hie evil ways,
the grieved parent finally took him on board the
receiving-ship North Carolina, and there had him
enlisted in the navy, as a last means of ending his
vicious pursuits. The girl soon found out where
her lover was, and between them they planned his
release. Two or three days ago she went into court

the plea that he was a minor and could not be ro.
tamped in the service against his own will and that
of his friends. The writ was served, the young
scamp was brought into court and discharged—the
twain were married by the magistrate (!) and were
far out of sight before the father had the least sus.
picion of what the sanctified habeas corpus writ
could do for his prodigal.
POLITICAL RUMORS
may not always constitute the most luminous kind
of reading; bat there is one of our present nook
Which reveals so much of political character that I
must needs tell it you. You are aware that Prince
John Van Buren has recently "turned a somer
sault," as the Richmond papers call it, and is now
horribly shocking the delicate sensibilities of his
former brethren in the copperhead faith by making
roaring speeches against the rebels. Rumor explains
this by saying that the Prince's pretended conver
sion is only a temporary ruse on his part to render
the Administration in a better humor for receiving
numerous Democratic requests to pardon Isaac V.
Fowler, and permit the latter to quit his Mexican
exile and silver mines and return to the city of which
he wee once postmaster. So runs the tale.
HIC JACET TURKERLIKITA,
for poor Turkerlikita expired yesterday. Deceased
was the little Esquimaux child who was brought
from the Arotic regions, with his parents, by Hall,
the celebrated Polar navigator, and exhibited at the
Museum some two months ago. Soon after their
arrival in this,country, our climate commenced to
undermine the strength of all three of the Esqui
maux, and since their experience at the Museum
they have been steadily falling into decline, despite
the Moat efficient medic* attendance procurable.
Now poor little Turkerliklta has gone, anti it is
probable that the parents will soon follow.

Saturday evening visited the Turn Halle, accompa
nied by his aids, Captains Konheim, Lyons, and
Duton, and being recognized by the German citi
zens who were present, he was greeted with enthu
siastic demonstrations, and called upon for a speech.
The General, in response, said : . .
Turners of New York: I thank you heartily for
this cheering welcome, which is most gratifying to
my feelings as a citizen, a soldier, and a brother. I
had hoped, aikyou doubtless remember, . to take with
me to the war the entire membership of the Turn
verde. For satisfactory reasons, however, this
could not be done. You have; nevertheless, sent as
fine a regiment to the field as any other with
as brave men in it as ever wore a uniform.
[Cheers.] • And' they are ornaments to the ser
vice, as well as a credit to you, while they have
been an honorto their adopted country, as they have
reflected it upon the land of their birth. [Cheers.]
It has ever been the German's lot to be mixed more
or less in all the struggles for liberty, but never
before did any concern them more than the one this
country Is engaged in now.- You must sustain the.
arm of the best Government on earth, for its in
terests are your interest, and its success that of- uni
versal liberty. [Cheers.] Those who are unable to
go forth tothe tented field ought to do their best at
home, and' no matter how dark the present aspect
of affairs may be, ultimate success must crown our
efforts. [Cheers.] Words are not battles, but words
are good in their place, and I wish to put on record
in words as the sentiment of my heart, that as we
are protected, cherished, nurtured, by the beneficent
institutions of this Heaven-blessed nation, so are we
bound in common gratitude and by every sentiment
of honor and fealty to truth, to stand equally by it
Mita hour of trial, to assist in crushing its enemies,
to uphold untarnished the purity of its honor, and
to restore to its pristine glory the majesty of its flag.
'Tremendous and long-continued cheering.]
Later in the evening a number of German Boole

the General. After- a- variety of German airs had
been sung, Mrs. and General Sigel appeared at the
window, in response to calls by the assembled mul
titude; and the General briefly addressed them. He
said:
Itly friends, I have not come here to receive ho

for it t and as I dearly lore America, I have done
so. I do not love war, for I have seen too much
of its horrors and cruelties ever to do so. You
must remember that the war is not one that
will last for years, but it is a war on which de
pends the life of the country, and upon which
depends the. fate of your own native country.
If we should fail to obtain men enough to finish
the war, where could there be found men enough to
put down the thirty-four princes of Germany? [Ap

couraged, and do not become disheartened, but re

[Cheers.] I on, as Germans, have a duty to sustain
the Government by all means, for upon. its success
the future of your native land depends; and if our
enemies should come out victorious, what would
become of that dear land? Stick together, and prove
the greatness of your mission. I have gone too long
from home to be able to discuss political questions,
but they are of no importance at present, and I close
and again thank you for the kind reception.
The General retired, but was again called out, and
spoke a few words of thanks. The assemblage then

Andraw Johnson on the Proclamation.
At the Republican meeting in Indianapolis last
Thursday evening, Governor Andy Johnson, of Ten
nessee, made a speech, in the course of which he en
dorsed the acts of the Administration, as follows :
You complain of the great wrong he has done, of,
arrests, &c. HI have any complaint to make, it is
that President Lincoln has not done more to crush
the rebellion. * • Great ado has been made
about negroes. Letthat be as It may, is that any rea
eon why we should oppose our Government, and go
croaking about and appealing to a 'squeamish sym

and all measures necessary to maintain it. Is not
this Government, the giant embodiment of the prin

lance. Some persons in the free States have an idea
that if King Cotton don't rule they cannot sell a
mule or a bushel of corn ,• but this Government would
go on were the cotton plant lost to the world. And
when you come to think of it, that by raising a little
more wool, and flax, and hemp—[cries of "that's
what'e wanted"l—you may withhold the article of
cotton from the markets of the world, and they
would be supplied without a ripple upon commercial
waters. They will go on with or without cotton;
and, whether cotton or ncgroes continue in the
United States, the Government will continue to re
main. lam for the Government of my fathers with
negroes. I am for it without negroes. Before I
would see this Government destroyed, I would see
every negro back in Africa, disintegrated and blotted
out of apace.
T. Buchanan Read, the poet, being introduced at
the meeting, prefaced his reading of two original
patriotic poems with this outburst :
When this unnatural rebellion broke out I was
five thousand miles from here ; I was standing
among the ruins of the old republic of Rome, my
feet white with the dust of the palace of the Queers

from Alps to .Etna past me rolled the cry—that one
word Union woke that antique land, and •led her

sinking into the west over a nation nearly one half
of which was clamoring for disunion. Could I re

These looms consume about nix bales of cotton to
the loom, of five hundred pounds each, yearly. This
entire supply of cotton now comes from Texas.
Most of the factories have already obtained a sup
ply of cotton sufficient to keep them running for a
year to come.
The foregoing is an accurate statement as to the
factories in one State only. There are sixty other
cotton factories in the different States of Mexico,
which are at present dependent on Texas for their
supply of the raw material.
Only three thousand bales are raised in Mexico,
hence twenty-seven thousand five hundred bales
have to be imported from Texas for the use of
Mexico alone.
In all Texas there is not a single cotton mill

DEATH OF THREE OOTOGENARIA.NS IN

John Fitzwalter, lived together with their sister for
n great number of years,-in Parliament street, Not

of housekeeper. Joseph, the eldest one, was at

three .weeks ago, at the age of eighty-four years.
The eurvJving brother was very much affected by his
death, and expired one hour afterwards, at the age
of eighty years. The death of two brothers to whom
the sister was devotedly attached, was too great
a shock for her frame to withstand, and, on the

at the age of eighty-eight years.

FURTHER DETAILS OF THE DESTRUCTION
OF HOPEFIELD, AHI7
IlltotralS, Feb. 25th, 1863.—The repeated aggres
sions of the guerillas on the opposite side of the
river appeared to the authorities on this side deserv
ing of punishment. It was known that some of them
were harbored in ilopelield, the village immediately
opposite this city. It was alleged, and believed,
that although the residents in liopefleld had taken
the oath of fealty to the United States, they
were not loyal in heart or in conduct. This was
deemed to be especially evident • in the fact that the
rebel guerillas had free access there at all times,
and received the hospitable attentions of the inhabi
tants. The names of some of the guerillas were
known who were constantly in the place and gene.
rally spent their nights there. It was therefore
deemed proper to condemn the village of Ilopetield
to the fate that has befallen other places on the
river banks where the guerillas have committed
their depredations.
About noon the gunboat Cricket, convoying the
transport Mill Boy, left its moorings at the mouth
of "Wolf river, and, started on the mission of ven
geance. As the Cricket crossed the Mississippi she
opened the coming tragedy by throwing shell!' into
the woods beyond Hopefield. The hoarse roaring
of the guns brought the citizens on this side to the
river side, and a multitude of persons watched, from
the height of the blutrin front of Memphis, the pro
gress of events, which all who witnessed will never
forget. :
The first result of the shelling was the hurried gal
loping, from the woods, of various horsemen. The
citizens were then seen marching from their dwell
ings:. (Of course we describe the events as seen,
with the assistance of glasses, from this
,aide of the,
river.) The 5111! Boy in the meantime landed,, ar
the upper part of the village, and towards it the
residents were seen running on foot and galloping
on horseback. The business of the Mill Boy was to
bring to this side the women and children who might
wish to come, and others who might have claim to
the privilege.
Men were landed, and proceeded with their work
of destruction: A house immediately opposite - the
foot of Court street in this city, and in the rear of
Hopefield, just at the edge of the woods, was first
fired. A strong, steady south wind—the precursor
of the coming spring—was blowing. Under its in
fluence the flames spread rapidly. Leaping from
doors and windows—springing from front, rear and
gables—enveloping the roof with their red and ter
rible IffilflllPll, murmounted by the lihtel( smoke that
}Mt the r•ltlrn: larral

censors their gloomy smoke of destruction. House
after house was fired—flame after flame added its
lurid horrors to the scene—and the black, dark,
heavy column of smoke rolled before the southern
breeze up the Mississippi, carrying toward the North
the tidings of destruction.
AP we are writing these lines the work of annihila
tion is proceeding. The white houses with their green
shuttertrand little fencedyards around that looked
so peaceful as we gazed upon them from our hlnff's
yesterday, are at this moment smoking cinders, or
red pillars of vengeful tire.
Ni 'e last night conversed with some of the parties
who participated in this expedition. There were
but few men seen at Hopefleld on the occasion.
Those who were there were sullen and indignant.
The women, on learning that their homes were to
be burned, their hearths made desolate, and the
place clustering with all the thousand recol—
lections of home, generally burst into tears ;
and in grief, sometimes too deep for expression,
aided in removing their furniture and provisions.
In two. cases only did those whom we conversed
with see any departure from this course of conduct.
One was a case of a woman who soundly rated those
who told her what had to be done, and declared that
she would not move a peg, nor no one else, until her
old man came home, and that would not be for a day
oe.twQ,_ She.found the matter was too serious to be
trifled wltflThowever. and in the end gladly accepted
the assistance' of the mannescwhich- RUM kindly
tendered her, to clear her house. Another woman,
a very pretty young widow, received the intelligence
laughingly, accepted the proffered assistance of the
men to remove her furniture readily, and furnished
the officer—Whose bland courtesy she appeared to
consider very consoling—with the matches by which
her home was set fire.
The first place we tired was the railroad depot;
the second was the church ; then followed the pri
vate residences. The two companies of soldiers,
and the marines from the gunboats, that were taken
over, very :readily tiflbnied their assistance, where
there were no men, in removing the goods. The
orders . ; about plunder were strict: not a pin or a to•
bacco pipe was one of the men engaged allowed to
carry oh'. The war was one of reprisals, not of
plunder.

One place was visited with extreme severity; it

couple of days ago, and on this occasion it was
burned to the ground. An old man lay sick in the
house, at the point of death. lie was put on the

ful whether he would survive the transit
While proceeding with the work, a gang of six
men were seen riding and rapidly walking along
the neighborhood to make good their escape. A
shell or two was sent in their direction, and they
were seen no more.

A LONG-LOST SON RETURNED.—Mr. Sa

of Allentown, returned home unexpectedly last week
from Lima, Peru, in South America, after an ab
sence of twenty-seven years. For the last seven
teen years no intelligence whatever had been re

settled down in the belief that he was dead. He re
turned to • this country as Secretary of Legation
from the Peruvian Government, and on Saturday
left Allentown for Washington to assume his duties.
SKELETON FOUND.—One day last week, seve
ral boys were crossing the Lehigh river, near the Le
high Talley Iron Works, and about half way across
the stream they discovered adhering to some.rubbish
what they supposed to be the bones of a dead horse.
They dragged them to the snore, when it. was found
that the bones were the skeleton of a human being.
It was undoubtedly the remains of some poor person
who tvaedrowned in the great freshet of last sum

ALMOST A CONFLAGRATION.—A few eve
nings since, Oil City made a very narrow escape
from destruction by fire. An individual, while
passing the.well of Wood & Co., of Pittsburg, care
.lessly struck a match against the receiving tank of
the well, which was nearly full of oil. The tank,
or rather a small portion of it, took fire, but was
promptly smothered out by putting n blanket
between the outside lining and the tank itself. -There
was between 250 and 300 bbls. of oil at the well, and
had this taken fire, it is likely that the whole town
would now have been in ashes.

ENTERTAINMENT - AT PARIS BY TEE.
PEINUESS METTERNIOII.—The fancy ball
given by - the .Princesi de Metternich the night
before last, was of great magnificence. -The rooms
were ornamented with wonderful taste, and .a.....tent-2
porary ball room, constructed over the garden, .was`.
lined with blue satin studded with eamelias. Thy
gallery was not opened until the arrival of theirikle-'
jesties. The Emperor wore a white Venetian man
tle, under which, in compliment to the Austrian am
hassatior, was to be seen the Grand Cordon of St.
Stephen, and the Empress attracted universal atten
tion in the costume of Juno. The Prince and Prin
cess de Metternich, accompanied by all the persons
belonging to the embassy, received their Majesties
on the steps of the hotel, and at once conducted the
Imperial guests to the grand gallery, where dancing
immediately commenced. In the quadrille of honor,
the Emperor danced with the Princess de Metter
nich, and the Empress with the Ambassador. About
one o'clock their Majesties put on dominos and
The lady of the house appeared as a Bouquet of
Violets, while the Prince was in a Venetian domino;
the Princess Anna Murat represented Early Whitey;
the Countess Walewaki, a Fortune Teller; the Coun
tess de Perslgny, a Windmill; the Duchess de I3assa
no appeared in a Pompadour dress; Mme. Decazes
Stackethergwaa a Queen of Egypt; Mme. de Gortcha

and pearls of great value; the Duchess de Moray ap

The Eugenie quadrille had the greatest possible
success, a number of beautiful young women repre
senting in it each a letter to 'compose her Majesty's
name. About two o'clock in the morning a splendid
supper was served up, and' the cotillion did not ter
minate until five. Their Majesties remained to an
unusually late hour, and appeared the whole eve
ning in the highest spirits.
About five hundred persons were present, consist
-44 of the chief celebrities of Paris. The Prince and
Princess de Metternich did the holism with an affa
bility, a grace, and a distinction, that charmed every
guest Feb. 14.
' NOVELTIES IN DRESS.—The Paris correspon
dent of the Daily Noes says : It is whispered that,
at the fancy ball at the 'Tuileries, there will hi, by
imperial desire, a set of characters representing the
principal personages in Elanbert'S new and success
ful novel " Salammbo." Here is the costume of
Hamilcaes daughter, as described by .M. Flaubert:
"Her hair, colored (lark with violet powder, and
built up in the form of a tower, made her look taller
than she was. Plaits of pearls were attached to her
temples, and descended to the corners of a mouth
rosy as a bursting pomegranate. On her breast'hung
a vast collection of sparkling jewels, - -nfe - senibling
in their motley confusion the scales' of,irlaniprey.
Her arms, ornamented with diamonds, biitjother
wise naked to the shoulders, escaped from a 'tunic
studded with red flowers on a black ground. She
wore a chain of gold between her ankles to regulate
her steps, and her flowing mantle of dark pur
ple, made of en unknown material, trailed behind
her as she walked, like a large wave." • 'This is cer
tainly rather a " loud " costume for a young lady,
and one calculated to exercise the Ingenuity of a
fashionable dressmaker. About the jewelry and
the nudity there will be no difficulty, for they are
quite in keeping with the present taste of the court ;
but the chain between the ankles may be found
awkward 3n dancing the polka, and where shall the
" unknown " material be found for the mantle I A
Paris letter says: "The Countess de Persigny's
ball has eclipsed all given this season by the Em
press. It was impossible for about a thousand peo
ple to look snore brilliant or more animated, or, con
sidering the present ugliness of the fashion, for the
ladies to look better than they did on this occasion.
The Princess Metternich was dressed in her usual
eccentric style. Her skirt was covered with horse
shoes of silver ribbon with blue silk nails, and a
diamond horse-shoe supported her mass of fair hair.
A FRENCH FANCY BALL.—A grand file was
given at Paris on the 7th by the Minister of Foreign
Affairs and Madame I)rouyn de l'Huys. Fancy

The Emperor went several times through the dif

midst of which were the family of the minister,
took off his mask and asked whether he had been
recognized. Among the characters the most re
marked were Madame Go rtch akoff, who was dressed
as a boyarde, with a coronet covered with pearls and
diamonds; Mme. du Bole de -DEtang, who wore a
Polish costume; Mine. Say, as Esther; the Princess
Dolgorouky. as a beehive : and Mine. de Pene as an
Egyptian. Mme. Heeckeren was a complete rose
tree from head to foot, and Mine. Delvel was enve
loped in ivy.
A BALL FOR ROYALTY—The Denmark of the
6th says: s' A great ball, in honor of the future
Prince of Wales, was given last Thursday, at the
British Embassy here (Copenhagen), by Mr. Augus
tus Paget and his lady. Besides the Princess Alex
andra, crowd of titled and fashionable persons at
tended the festivity, particularly her Royal High
ness' parents, the Prince and Princess of Denmark,
and the other members of the royal family."
THE NEW MILITARY CUT.—The Allorgcnpost
of Vienna states that a recent order of the;day for
bids military officers to wear double eyeglasses*
Those who are short-sighted are to wear ordinary
spectacles. 'The same order of the day .regulates
the cut of whiskers.
PERSONAL GOSSIP
11MI1. LINDSAY, M. P. AND THE CONFE

Mr. Lindsay, DEP., says that be is not a holder of
any Confederate bonds of any kind, and that neither
he nor any member of his firm has entered into any
contracts with the Government of the Confederate
States for the "construction of war steamers," or
any other kind of ships. lie adds: "That in our

whether it went to dress the wounds of the Confe
derates, or to make nightcaps for the Federals, or
petticoats for the Hottentots. If pecuniary matters
could in any way influence my votes and speeches, I
would never, as a shipowner, oppose war, for wars
and famines are the shipowners' harvests ; and, as
shiphroker, I should certainly have taken the part
of the North, for all the shipping of America, or
nine-tenths of it, belongs to that section of the once
happy and United States. But, having some know
ledge of the country, I saw from the first that it was
hopeless to attempt to subjugate ten millions of peo
ple resolved to govern themselves, and that force of
arms would never reunite the broken Union. Con
sequently, when differences, first arose between the
Northern and Southern States, and long before I
ever saw or heard of any person connected with the
Confederate Government, I ventured to lift my
voice in the presence of my constituents, 'at public
meetings,'and 'in Parliament,' against a terrible
war which I thought would be as vain and futile as
it was wicked; and by so doing my firm lost a great
many more commissions from the North than they
arc ever likely to gain from the South, even after its
independence is acknowledged."
HEALTH OF GENERAL GARIBALDI.—The
following bulletin from Caprera (writes a Turin cor
respondent), reached Turin on the 7th February:
"The General continues about the same. T
here is
still a little discharge from the wound, which ap
pears as if the period of exfoliation was not yet
over. The 15th of lest month I drew out with the
pincers another splinter of bone larger the; a pea.
I continue locally the use of the injections, to facili
tate exfoliation. Instead of the fixed bandage, I
have for the last three days substituted an elastic
one, which the General bears very well, and which,
in our case, answers better than the fixed one. The
rheumatism, which for some time had left him,
has returned though in a much more mild form, fix-

out every day, and bythe aid of crutclise, walla on
the lawn in the warm spring sunshine, and, on the
24th, he went out, in a boat, fishing. I hope that
when the period of exfoliation is over the cure will
proceed rapidly; and, if the rheumatism does not re
turn to disturb the regular walk' of the patient, in
about a month he will be perfectly well.—H. Alba-
Eerie." "It is more than probable," adds the writer,
"that General Garibaldi will visit England during
the spring." In a letter, dated January 19, to a
gentleman in London, Garibaldi's son, Iticoioti,
says : "I am instructed by my father to write to you,
to any that he will not be able to come to England
just yet, because he can scarcely go on crutches. A
trial was made yesterday, which proved successful,
papa having walked across the room several times."

the Nord, will remain in the archives of Dickens.
"What a dessert," it adds, "was provided for these
privileged guests !" Mdlle. Trebelli arrived by
chance, and sung to them sundry operatic pieces,
aneltinally, "pour faire he digestion," this "congress
of romancists" went to a photographer's and had
themselves "done."
CHESS IN PARIS.—M. Relisch, who now writes
on chess in the Nord, hes the following: " A chess
Boirt% took place a few evenings back at the resi

persons present were Mr. Paul Morphy, M. de Ri

the author of several well-known works. We can
not, unfortunately, oar to our readers the games
played on this and other occasions lately between
Itlr. Morphy and M. de Rividre ; we can only an
nounce the result of five games played—three were
won by M. de Rividre, and two by Mr. Iliorphy.”
THE . LATE LORD LANSDOWNE.—A writer
in Notes and ?oaks says : The death of Loid Lans
downe within one dny of the anniversary of that of
Charles 1., t 314 years ago, reminds me of a fact which
I think is well worth recording in your columns, be
cause it shows over what a long number of years three
lives often extend. Some years since Lord Lans
downe told my inforraantthat he remembered, when
boy, to have shaken hands with General Godwin,
whose father was page to Charles I.
ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE. —Another un
happy, ballet girl has been seriously if not fatally

THREE CENTS:
IMPORTANT SECRET.—The Austrian Govern
ment are said to be in possession of a gun-cotton
secret. By experiment, they have overcome the
difficulties which the nature of the material, as at
first discovered by Schonbein, opposed to its use in
artillery practice. The Austrians, moreover, have
dlecovcred a metal—iron, copper, spelter, and tin—
which, in certain proportions, is tougher than any
gun-metal hitherto devised.

81,377,015 of specie, amounting together to $5,658.745.
To this may be added some half a million dollars'
worth of American securities sent abroad for sale, which
would swell the export aggregate to over six millions of
dollars. Making due allowance, therefore, for the fact
that our importations are entered at their specie value,
while our exports are invoiced at their currency value.
there will still remain, on the trade of the week, a sub
stantial balance in favor of the port.

The New York Jr ren(mo Poet onto-day says:
COnsiderable alarm is displayed among a certain class
of speculators this morning, at the possible effect of the
new financial measures, which will, at so early a date,
be put in active operation. It is impossible not to ad
mire the !eget:gone casuistry . whatever we may think
of the sound judgment or business prospects of the men
who are canvassing every word and weighing every
syllable of the new enactment to dissent some gleam of ,
hope that inflation of the currency, with all its disasters
to the nation, is authorized, inevitable, and may be re
lied ou at an early date.
The market opened firm, and Governments are deci
dedly stronger after the temporary inactivity of Sa
turday.
The fineness of some of the leading stocks is, in some
well-infornted quarters, attributed in part to the fact
that a foreign demand for certain descriptions of these
securities is springing tip.
Registered ISM were in demand at Coupons at
IOU; Coupons 1574 at /17; Seven-thirties of October and
April are wanted at 104%; February and August at 10*4-
The speculative docks were heavy. On the declining
list we place Illinois Central, Pittsburg. Michigan
Southern, Hudson River—all of which we quota about
Wog lower than the closing quotation of Saturday.
Pacific Mail is again,violently agitated by the tuner

Erie was violently hammered by the bears , who suc
ceeded in forcing the quotations dovrn to 7734@77%' at
which price some considerable business was doue. .The
price subsequently recovered, closing at 7734, but receded
after the Board to rns.
