WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1865.
In-door Rainbows.
We were Invited lately to attend some expert.
mentß with lime lights and galvanic batteries,' pro
ducing tbe Electric Light, and were so much
surprised and interested by the exhibition that we
venture to give a brief history or our experiences
daring the eveolog:
The experiments were made at the laborattEr of
the Episcopal Aoademy, 1314 Locust street, by Mr.
Morton, Lecturer on Natural Philosophy In that in.
etitutlon, who Is, we hear, ‘ProfeSßor of Chemistry
In the Philadelphia Dental College, and also secre
tary of the Franklin Institute. There waj a goodly
array of professional men assembled, and the lec
turer proceeded to give a brief, but very oloar and '
striking, exposition of the theories of Light. Ho
then proceeded to Illustrate his various propositions
with experiments of such singularity and beauty
that we were quite taken by surprise.
The first exhibition was of the heating effect of
the galvanic current when applied to a wire several
feet in length, suspended between two upright me*;
talllc columns. In an Instant the arching wire
blazed forth with a brilliancy quite dazzling, and
reminded one of Mahomet's bridge bast over the
profound abysm of the nether world. The bridge
burned like the bush of Moses, but, like It, was not
consumed. The wire sufficed to conduct the current
without being melted or dissipated.
The galvanio ourrent was then oaused to pass (by
wires previously laid) to the rear of the room, where
was arranged a large lantern, in the focus of whose
lens the eleotric fluid was oaused, to pass-between
■ two carbon points, the image of these points and of
the eleotrio fixe being projected' on a vast soreen at
the opposite extremity of the audience-ohauiber.
The effect was magical. Two hugs cones, Ilka those
of -ffitna and Vesuvius, were seen approaching each
other, blazing with Intense light and heat. As they
threatened each other In this antagonism, sheet
lightning seemed to play over their brilliant cones,
throbbing and pulsating as when on summer nights
the distant horizon feelers with the flash of storms
too remote to send to us the sound of tholr tumult.
Gradually these cones would melt away, and thou
suddenly rußh together with a clash and renewed
fury of fire. We found, from the lecturer, that this
motion of the cones or oarbon points was effected' by
a seir-adjusUng apparatus familiar to scientific men
as the “Electric Lamp of Daboseq.”
After these and other experiments with the gal
vanlo'battery, the Lime light waß introduced into
the lantern.
In this owe the light is produced by causing an
Ignited jet of mingled oxygen and hydrogen gases
to Impinge upon a plate of lime, which, becoming
intensely bested, emits a white light of dazzling
intensity. This apparatus was used to demonstrate
various facts with regard -to the composition of
light, among other experiments, for the production
of an artificial-rainbow. The gurgling sound of.
the gaß rushing through a vessel of water/to
one part of the apparatus, formed no Inapt
suggestion of falling showers and overflow
ing brooks, when suddenly there swept across tho_
whole expanse of the soreen, running out beyond'
'lt to the extreme corners of the. lecture-room, a su
perb bow, exceeding in brilliancy of color all natu
ral bows that we have ever seen in/ the sky. In
deed, the glow of color was so intense that It re
quired the turning, on of several:;gas-lights in the
room to reduce them to the . ptdinary lustre ol a
natural rainbow. Nothing can be imagined more
brilliantly successful than this display; and the
subsequent exhibitions or polarized light, beautlfal
as they were, seemed lost in the previous splendor
of this wonderful production. The process by which
this result was reached Is, we suppose, a seoret with
the exhibitor, though he kindly tendered all desired
Information to those who were present and sought
to inspect the details of hla apparatus. -
Our readers, we do not doubt, will be~ glad to
know, froin the advertisement on another page, that
these and other experiments are to be exhibited to
the public on next Tuesday evening, in the Academy
of Music, where, among other remarkable features
of the performance, a steam engine will be placed
under the stage to work some of the apparatus used
by the lecturer, thus supplying a power which will
enable blm to produce results never before reached
on this side of the Atlantic.
The liberality and enterprise of the present mana
gers of the Franklin Institute are worthy of ail praise.
That institution, long known for Its large and effi
cient contribution to - the advancement of solenae
and the popular dissemination of knowledge, is now
under new auspices, recovering its energies, and
promises to hold, a still higher place as the first
Scientific Instltutlon-of the United* States., We.
wish it all success, and anticipate confidently both
"itsinofeased to’me, and the‘growing reputation of
theyoung lecturer, who Is already-recognized as
one of the most successful expounders of the* worn
ders of chemistry. >
Professor Henry Morton (son of the Bed. Dr.
Henry Morton, rector of St. James’s Protestant
Episcopal Obnrcb, Seventh, above Market street) -
first became known in the world of letters as one of
the Committee of Three appointed by the Philo
mathean Sooiety of the University of Pennsylvania,
to translate, edit, and Ulnstrate the inscription on
the Bosetta Stone, a work which obtained the high
approbation of Alexander von Humboldt, rapidly
paesed through two editions, has long been out of
print, and can Eoarcely be procure* now at any
price.
Pnbllcatlons Received.
After Mrs, Stowe published 11 Undo Tom’s
Cabin,” she produced a “ Key ” to it, to show that
she had not exaggerated either in incidents or cha
racters. This, forming a pamphlet volume of 261
octavo pages, has been reissued by a New Yorit.
publishing house,'under the title of “Facts for the
People. Southern Life; or, Inside Views of
Slavery.” We soareely think that an apology far
the romance of “ Unole Tom ” was particularly
called for, at this moment, when no one pretends to
justify Slavery. Received from T. B. Peterson &
Brothers.
Under the title of “ The Young Student,” the
Literary Remains of J. Zimmerman Johnson,
edited by the Eev. J. Newton Brown, with a brier
sketch of his life, by his father, have been collected
into a neat 24m0, volume. The deceased, who was
an alumnus of Lewlsburg University, Pa., a very
superior educational institution, died at Lewlsburg
nearly thirteen months ago, in Ms twenty-fifth year,
sincerely regretted by his Instructors and fellow
students, as well as by Ma family. Hla “ Remains,”
consisting chiefly of fragments In prose, are
of rather more than average merit, and give
promise of no small ability, bad life been
spared. An Appendix, of about forty pages, con
taining religions mnsings by his father, has pro
bably been put In as “ paddlngi” to swell the volume
Into size. The few notes on the “ Remains,” con
tributed by Dr. Newton’Brown, are necessary and
judicious. Received from Smith, English, & Co.
The May number of Peterson's Ladies’ Magazine
has the usual ciuantlty of reading matter and a
number of fashion plates and patterns. Its frontis
piece is a steel engraving, called “ Wild Flowers.”
It has music, too. The Farewell Song of Enoch
Arden, or “ I’ll Sail the Seas Over,” by Sep. Win.
nor, tells a lady that her smile “ like a phantom”
shall haunt Mm for ever. We are nnabletosoe
how a smile can resemble a ghost.
Mr. T. B, Callender, eorner of Third and Walnut,
has handed ns the last number of the New York
Ledger, a periodical which has obtained no small
celebrity from having been the exclusive medium
through whloh the' late Edward Everett communi
cated with the pnbllc for five or six years before his
death. It is conducted with great spirit, and hag
an immense circulation. In this city alone, Mr.
Callender sells over 26,000 copies a week.
We also have The Northern Magazine, published at
Hew York, from Mr. Callender. It la very readable,
and 18 rather neatly Illustrated. It appears monthly,
and was commenced with the new year.
Lastly, aIEO, from Mr. Callender, we have' The
lieview, eight pages small 4t0., published weekly in
Philadelphia, having the advantage, of three edi
torial publishers, and “devoted to Literature,
Science, and the Fine Arts.” As the speolmen be
fore us is the seventh number, It Is surprising that
we did not hear of .lt before. The first poem, “ The
Starry Flag,” is better than motf newspaper verse,
and we should copy it, but for the bad taste,ln the
fourth stsnza, of the line “Reflecting Luna’s
taste.” What has the moon done thus to be mis-
called? The sketch of Charioß Brockden Brown,
though deficient in novelty, Is neatly written, and
the criticism entitled “ As the twig la bent,” con
tains some truths, well expressed. Speaking of
bad rhymes, the careless fault of modern versifiers,
tbe writer says:
“To particularize, we have examined the first one
hundred and seventy.five of the two hundred and
twelve hymns In the Book of Common Prayer Of the
Protestant Episcopal Church—not that 16 la more
defective In this regard than the hymn books of
other religious bodies, for we believe It Is as little
so as any. Of these one hundred and seventy-five
hymns only twenty-two are faultless In their rhyme
—to say nothing of their sentiment, metre, similes,
and imagery—while the remaining one hundred
and fifty-three contain one hundred and seventy
feur false rhymes, many of them sanctioning the
grossest provincialisms and vulgarisms, many
being blunders of an order whloh should
subject a school boy committing them to
a merited. flogging. Here are some of them:
‘again’ rhymes with ‘pain,'* ‘vain,’ ‘reign,’
etc.—‘spoiled’ with 'reconciled,’ ‘soil’ with
‘smile,’ -nature’ with ‘creator, ’ Join’ with ‘di
vine’—the word ‘God 1 Is made to rhyme with.seven
dUtinot find dissimilar vowel sounds (e. g. ‘ blood,’
‘good,’ ‘road,’ ‘awed,’ ‘endued,’etc), the whole
number of false rhymes In whichthis single word
occurs being thirty. Ot as unpardonable a kind Is
the very slovenly style of verse in whloh couplets are
made to conclude with words having scarcely any
lltenefs m sound. Thus, ten times ‘heaven’and
‘forgiven! are made to rhyme— 1 songs,’ • tongues,’
eleven times— ‘ power,’ ‘ adore’— ‘ way,’ ‘sea’—
■proclaim,’ < Bethlehem’— ‘ far,’ ‘fear’— ‘ peace,’
i ‘ righteousness,” and others Innumerable of the
j same type.”
J There Is more of this shrewd and sagacious crltl
i' elf m. Writers who quote Batin ought spell It pro,
j perly. The second quotation, on column 2, page 53,
| is terribly Incorrect, the editors of The Review do
j not read their Press regularly. II they did, Instead
' of saying “It Is more than probable that the short
Life w .Cscsar, whloh the First Emperor Is known to
have Whitten while confined at St. Helena, will be
given to the world In the form of a German edition
before the second volume of hie nephew’s work
sees the light,” the; would say that tbe FlrsiEmpc

back as the year 1327 The story or “The Abbott of St-
Gall, an Old Legend from the Trehch,” on page 61,

PHILADELPHIA. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1865. *
Abbott of Canterbury.” In a monody here called
“No More," on the murdered President, by Geo.,
, Alfred Townsend, we find some odd language. For.
instance,.... “ Unarmed he wen ’midst martial
nigffs.” The.verb wen Is a novelty, anfl “ martial
malls’’amystery. so, In another stanza, Is “the"
olle branch.” The rhymepf aye and lie is also bad,
and so Is capitol with full. With these, comments, ,
we kindly wish The Review all Imaginable saooess,
some Improvement, and a careful corrector fori the

The writer of tltofollowing article, ln-afow intro
ductory remarks addressed to ourselves, apologizes
for troubling us with It.' He says that for .several
months, “having been domiciliated under the roor
of the late President, he was dtyartaker of his gen
tle hospitality ;‘knew well his frank, sincere nature,
goodness ofheart and noble .principles ; was a sur
prised observer of the immense pressure of his pub
lic cares, and the'.absolute marvel of bis cheerful
endurance, under incessant toll, for the good of‘the
mtfre American people;”

Sib : When the sews of the assassination of out
illustrious President reached this vessel there was
a general gloom over all 09 board. The rough,
hard; seamen, with the officers, were moved to tears,
and felt within themselves that they had lost a
great and goodtaan, who not only had the welfare;
of the EepublioYt heart, but was theslnoere friend
of the navy and \army. Every mark of respect wm
paid to his memmy by half-masting the colors and
firing guns at an|ntetva! of a half hour while pass
ing down the Jamas river from Olty Point, and all
duty was suspended, by order of the Secretary of
the Navy, which otuld be dispensed with. It was a
day of great solemnity on board, this vessel, and
. every heart was sad. though burning with indigna
tion against the Wwardly assassin who had de
prived the country & Its great leader lathe hour of
its glory and triumph.

THE REBELS AT THE LIBB-Y HGTEL

[Special Correipoilkeiice of The Press. 3
v KICHMOIfD, April 24, 1806.
The moral power of the rebellion la hot evinoel ■
In any pnbllo demonstration, but is manifested pri
vately, or under suoh circumstances as will not
lnenr the displeasure of the authorities.
Some females were walking up Franklin street,
a’ day or two ago, where, in the vlotalty of the Ex
change Hotel, there was a large American flag.
With a degree of malignity, which conciliation
rather strengthens than suppresses, one them avow
ed that she would not walk under thO Union, oolors,
at the same time crossing to the opposite side of the
street, followed by the others. This Is but one of
: the llttle meannesses In which those rebels Indulge,
{by whloh. they comfort the spirits of treason. One
thing is that It matters not hdwmnchjen
’ mlty these people bear against the Government,
even those who were known to shout when, they
heard, that President Lincoln was assassinated,
tLeydo not. hesitate to draw rations from the oom
.juissary. What a spectacle of mingled destitution
and ingratitude Is presented in the field 1 officers of
the rebel service receiving fatlonsVand 1 families In
this olty, who were no less mlsehievoos In their In
fluence to destroy the Union, whom necessity
obliges to accept the eharlty of the Government.
Humanity demands, regardless of their infamy of,
the past, their wickedness of the present, and their 1
obvious dlsposltlon for evilin the future, that they
should to a certain extent bo supplied with food by
theanthorltles.
’ Eebel officers still continue to- strut about in the
uniform in which they delighted to murder Union sol-'
diets, in a spirit whloh Is almost beyond the degree
of loyal forbearance. If it should be alleged that
they are unable to, purchase others, the Government
oonld fnrnlah them out of the abundance of uniforms
now onhand, and for which there Is not likely to be'
.any. immediate use. As they did not hesitate to
strip our wonnded and dead, and not unrrequently
obliged tour prisoners to divest themselves of their
clothing, which they would put' on with a goad deal
; of pride, they could have no moreobjection.to wear
ing Government clothes than eating Government
rations.
Union officers and soldiers are occasionally re
■ cognising those Individuals who treated our troops
so brntally while they were prisoners of war in this
city and vicinity. They at once Introduce, them
selves, Informally recur to past and unpleasant ex
perience, andconolude the scene by administering
a well, deserved chastisement to those brntosin hd
man form. .
, Some rebel officers, are to be seen with crape upon
their left arm, which Indicates sorrow and respect
for the departed ; but whether this Is figgned regret
for the assassination of the late President or sincere
sorrow for the death of tfie Soathern Confederacy,
may justly be regarded as an open question. *
■v; ' 001. Lamar, whether of the yaoht Wanderer no,
torlety, of the one who; outraged the sense or that
Britiehpubllo by lecturing them upon the blessing'
of human slavery, is a matter of very little differ
ence, was in toe olty last week.
The authorities are'now endeavoring to collect
all the goods whloh were taken away by the: poor
people on toe day of our occupation and dnrtog the
Are. The wisdom of such a courts may be judged
by olreumstanoes. If this class of persons had not
carried the goods away they would have been con
sumed. The dews, , who have lustlgated this pro
ceeding, were the meet violent rebels la the South,
, andxusUy, deserve,to ’forfeit their. 111-gotten .wealth
In the same manner that they reaped iff This would
be regarded righteous retribution. . 1
Just alter closing my s laatdespatch, I was present ' 1
at a military execution, e& tbe.actk Inst., to tie vi
cinity ol Olty Point, where many soldiers have paid
the penalty for violating law. The culprit was
• Samuel’Mays, .of; theioth If. S. O. T. His offence
was dlsobedlence of orders, inciting to mutiny, and
the life of his superior officer. What
was left at that point of the loth, and the 28th U.
S. O. T„ recruited in Indiana, with a squad of white .
troops, to keep the orowd baok, formed the military
present. The execution was performed under toe
official direction of Lieut. 001. Powell, 10th U. S.
U. T,,-recruited mostly, to Maryland. The funeral
cortege arrived on toe ground about twelve o’clock, 1
t to the following order :Band of toe toth New York;
first firing party consisting of twelve men from the
• prisoner’s regiment; the coffin carried by four sol
diers; Jthe condemned, leaning on the arm of Chap*
' lain White (colored), of the 28th U. S._ O. T.,'and
closing up with the second firing party of twolye.
The ceremonies at the grave were brief. A prayer
from the chaplain, a good-by from the prisoner, a
well, fired volley, and the spirit of an unfortunate
man appeared before the God who gave It. The
body and head of Mays was completely riddled. It
seemed as If almost every hall perforated him.
Thomas Moran, assistant surgeon, and Samuel
Morrow, acting assistant surgeon, were present, and
examined the body, having no difficulty in arriving
at the conclusion that death was instantaneous.
The colored Methodists In this city who, by force
of circumstances, were obliged to remain with the
fit, E. Church South, decided yesterday, by a unani
mous vote of the male-members, to dlssolve thelr
connection with that branch of Methodists. Bishop
Brookes’ visit here to his brethren has been emi
nently successful,' and the prompt bnt cordial
manner in which the members dissolved their con
nection Jromthe slaveholders’ organization Is due
to hls presence, and the powerful Influence which
he has been able to exert.
The military authorities have put somo three hun
dred of the rebels, who are confined In Libby, to
work to clearing up the rnbblsh, throwing the
bricks off the pavement, and otherwise making the
streets passable, which have been blockaded by the
recent attempt of the vandals to. destroy too olty.
This Is a most excellent nse of this mixture of Igno
miny and infamy. This policy win teach tbjsolassto
work, which has always been done by the negfoes,
and should they even be dlrsharged from custody,
they will be able for the first time to earn their
bread by honest Industry.
" The weather, which was quite cool yesterday,
seems more moderate this mornleg.
The headquarters of toe 2d Corps is to be located
to this olty,.from which would be Inferred that the
troops will be camped to this vicinity. Bollik.
THE IRREPRESSIBLE BABIY IK COMMAND IK
SOUTHWESTERN VIRGINIA.
The Richmond Whig of tho 24 th says:
General Sheridan routed Early at Waynesboro,,
about tbe middle of March, and put him, todlvldu
-1 ally, upon a most tremendous race, which he con
cluded by bringing up to Richmond, attended by one
\of his staff, sans coat, hat, and almost everything.
When Sheridan’s column had swept by Richmond,
Early was ordered back to Staunton, and was there
at the lime of -tbe evacuation of this city. Upon
hearing of this event he hastened to Lynohburg,
and thence towards Southwestern Virginia, whore,
-ranking General Echols, he took command of the
forces that were retreating before Stoneman and
Thomas. When last heard from, being unable to
Withstand,the forces In his front,- and afraid of. Goa.
Grant to hls rear, he hadidefieoted to the right, and
was apparently making up the Kanawha Valley. It
Is doubtful whether he has yet become aware of the
surrender of Gen. Lee. We look with interest for
tidings Rom him and hls command.
. CHEAT BREAD—A BRNEXIOBNTHEGULATION.
We are authorized to annonnoe that, by order of
tho military .authorities, the oommlssarles of sub
sistence of the United States army In this city will
begin to- day to lssne to all citizens bread at six and
a qnarter cents per leaf of eighteen ounces. The.
humanity of this more, prompted by the oonsldocate
thoughtfulness of the military authorities, cannot
be over estimated. Thera are to-day thousands of
' our citizens, male and female, but chiefly the latter,"
who, living In unwilling but unavoidable Idleness,
are without the means .of subsistence. Over fire
I thousand of these "persons, females, up to the time
of the evacuation, earned, by “making soldiers’
clothing, a scanty livelihood, eked out by suoh sup

- A- Notoriety op the “ Temple" ik L»kdok.—
Miss Flight fell down dbad to the "Middle Temple
this week. Dlokens’readers know her as the little
lady who Was always hovering about the oonrts and
behaving eccentrically. . Doubtless, she was con
sidered a-mere pen-and-ink sketch from fancy, but
she was, a fact, every inch of her. She would, we
know, Stop the most learned judges that sit on the
bench"when In full swing of their awful judgment.
She would rise and shako her loan weird fist at the
embodiment of wisdom to. horsehair, and exclaim,
“ Oh, you vile man t oh, you wloked manl Give me
my property 11 will issue a bm»»*w»ws and have
your habeas corpus I” And having oontinued to a
like fashion for a minute or two, she would Mad up
her papers in “ red tape”—at least, tape that had
once been rod, and had followed her dirty fortunes
for years—and either subside Into the seat granted
her beside tbe barristers, or depart triumphant from
court-. No usher had dared exclaim, "SUenoe!”
or send rorth the hush of the cackling animal pecu
liar to that official. No barrister had nudged her
under the fourth rib, as he might have done another,
and would have done had she Keen fairer. And the
learned judge, sitting patiently till tbe end,,with a
, mild perspiration only rising on the tip Of the nose
to show that he was to anywaypnt out, would
then, as It nothing had occurred; resume the, thread
of hls learned judgment, to be appealed against,
perhaps, soon alter. What the mystery l» between
Mlss Flight and the bar, no one oan tell. She may
have-been the embodiment of a peculiar wrong, and
have appeared fn'the eyes of the bewigged ana sort!
of ghost.threatentog the evil doers with, the shades
Perhaps she-was pensioned merely out of : some
stray lifea. of benevolence. :p:e scarcely thought jef
that to ooDceotlon with the object of our comment,
and yet to a oortato extent it may be true/da she
received, from the right learned Middle Temple, a
sum of shillings per week.which'she* added to a sdm
of shillings received : from the right leamed Inner.
Temple,.and. so she supported life. .But why the.
learned of the law gave something for ndthlng, and
were afraid of and* respectful : to, the Uttle woman,
let no man Inquire. The Uttle. woman’s soul has,
however, flitted, and -we oan say that, hfter all, the

008811' ABOUT THIS Fora’s IHTHNTIOH9.
A letter from Rome to the London Times, dated
the 4th tost., gives the following: * •'
The College of Cardinals here is divided Into
three parties—the ■ men of extreme opinions, who
support the present policy of the Pope ; the Liberals,
whose opinions, It mnst be confessed, are less defi
nite; and thole easy persons who. if they can be
callefi a party, do not occupy themselves with State
matters, and are ever ready to side with the majo
rity. 'Ab regards thedepartnre of the Pope, a ques
tion .which Is fredly agitated, the extreme section of
the college approve the step, fearing a ceconclUv
tionwith .the Italian Government, while the Libe
rals, on. the contrary, oppose it. It Is only last
week that one of this party,' whose ’ name I abstain,
of oourse, from giving, eald, “ Even wore the Pled
- menteeein the Courts of the Vatloan, hfs Holiness
ought not to leave. That the Pope Is hUnßelf ’dis
posed to do so, there oen, I think, be little doubt.
That he has long contemplated the probability of
such a step is evident 'from an observation of hts
Holiness whloh I quoted at the beginning of: the
winter; and on the .authenticity of which, you may
rely: “If lam compelled to leave, I will*not
do so as formerly, in a carriage, bat on foot, with my
brovisry under my arm.” “ Nor,” say those who
know him well, “ would the Pope’s departure be the
result of fear; he Is ready to meet martyrdombut
he Is highly Imaginative, and has an idea that by
'moving from place to plabe’he weald servo the In
terests of the Church, and 1 win- many * members to
the fold. As to the place which his Holiness may
cboose for a refuge,’’- says the same Informant, “the
Pope Is Indisposed to accept the hospitality of any
Catholic conntry where fits independence would be
crippled and bis presence would create strife and
, jealousy; nor wonld he make any fixed residence,
■ always recognizing Rome as the seat of the chair of
; St. Peter; England or even .Turkey would be pre
ferable. The bare mention of the last conatry may
excite a smile, hat not many weeks have .passed
since one of the . most zealous and exaggerated
counsellors of "the Pope observed, “ Why, where
■ oould he go 1. He would be bettor received and
treated by the Turks than.by his own people.’”
The outburst may have been suggested by. a fact
which ooouried shortly before the receipt of letters
by his Holiness from the Sultan, and by Cardinal
AntoneUi from the Grand Vizier, “full,” Said,
. Cardinal “■ of expressions of the most pro-'
found devotion and respeot.” I relate the anec
dote, not, of course, under the Impression that
his Holiness Is at all disposed toset up his tent to
the laid of the Prophet, out'simply to show, the
• animus which prevails here.’ "
Gbwssai. Fahti.—This Italian general,, whose
death we ohronlcled but a low days, stone,, was at
the time when It oconrred In command’ of the mili
tary department of which Florence is the head
quarters. He bad been for some time to, very had
health. A native of Modena, he was still young
when pOlltioal causes drove him Into exile. He was
oneo! the several foreign officers .who served with
distinction to Spain daring the C&riist war, and
who have since risen* to high rank'ln the ser vice of
tbelrown countries.. Among those officers may be
named Claldtol, Oncchlarl; who succeeded General
Della Boooa to .the oomn»nd of the Turin military
department, and, to Pruskla, General von Goeben,
■who commanded a division to the, late: war In
Sohleswlg. in 1848 Fantl returned to Italy, served
as major general to the campaign of that and the
following year, Commanded abrigade to the Crimea,
and was then advanced to. the rank of .lieutenant
general. Tn 1860 he . commanded a corps d’armle,
was afterwards Minister of War to the Oavour
Cabinet; and, while still in office, made the expedi
tion Info the Marches and Umbria. Some interest
1 will be felt to see who suaoeeds him at Florence.
The Court would like to give the poßt to General
Della Booca, but It may be doubtful whether the
Cabinet will agree to that. . /-

Tbe continued additions to the number of banks most
necessarily hays the effect of increasing the supply of
money daring thesaspension of specie payments, and
hence we may reasonably expect more or lees specula
tlonih produce, stocks, &c., at soon as prices,haye
settled down to correspond with the ndneed rate of
gold, which It may saw be assumed will not vary much
from present pricss until tbe period for resumption ap
proaches. There are so many unsettled points, and a
heavy annual expenditure to meet, that to expect such
a confidence as would justify an attempt at early
resumption Is unwise We mast inspire confidence In
onr Government and its institutions' abroad as well as
at home, full and entire, before we can offer coin to onr
creditors with safety- We must have a decided balance
of tiade is ear favor, and a demand from abroad for
onr products. Cotton will not be produced at exten
sively as heretofore for aome years to come, and petro
leum 1* only being Introduced as an article of commerce.

The Chicago'Tribune, of Saturday, notices the open
ing of the Straits of Mackinac, as follows : "This la
the usual signal for renewed activity in almost every
branch of trade and commerce. .Steaks of produce, pro
visions, he , accumulated here during the winter, will
now begin to move forward to the. seaboard, and the
superabundant amount of curreney held at the Bast
will begin to move westward. This will more nearly
equalise-and adjust commercial and financial affairs
all over the Halted States, and tend to prevent the ir
regularities in values which have existed for several
mo* the past. Merchants will now leave the uncertain
and dangerous field of mere speculation, and engage
In the legitimate business of shipping and forwarding
the grain, which hae been used nearly all -winter for
adventurer* to gamble and speculate In, and prices
may thereby assume a more permanent basis than, at
present exists." !
The ordinance fer tbe payment*! the State and rail
road Indebtedness of Missouri, passed at the late Con

sldstable Interest to tbe Whole financial public, as well
as other States, and one which will give rise to much

notwithstanding holders are disposed to ask higher
rates, and we continue to quote at 21@22, in bulk and
bble retained, and 26@27 bbis iueludee, and these may
be regarded as the extreme of the market, for mer
