THE ANTI-SLAVERY AIKENDXENT.
The recent election in Kentucky has re
sulted in the success of the Anti-Constitu
tional Amendment candidate for State
Treasurer. Notwithstanding tbe great
gains of the anti-slavery men, they have
not quite overcome the pro-slavery ma
jority, The. , peculiar charatter of the earl
vass is one reason of this. Many of the m
oaned conservatives declared that they did
not object to a constitutional amendment
prohibiting slavery "pure and simple,"
tut they directed their opposition chiefly
to the accompanying clause of the proposed
amendment, which declares that Congress
Mall have power to enforce emancipation by
, appropriate legislation. This important
power has attracted comparatively little
attention in the North, but the sensi
tiveness displayed in reference to it
in Kentucky should go far to satisfy .
loyal citizens that they will find in
it valuable aid in any struggle with the
old pro-slavery spirit that may arise after
the adoption of the amendment The
policy of Emancipation, to which the na
tion is sacredly pledged, can in no event
be left to the tender mercies of its enemies.
Whether under the control of provisional
or State governments, they will still be sub
ject to such laws as Congress may enact to
protect the freedmen. As all amnesty
oaths also include a distinct pledge to sus-
Ulu emancipation, and all pardons are
based upon thesame conaion, slavery is
now as -vigorously assailed by the legal
powers of the National Government as free
dom was by the old pro-slc , .very commu
nities. The future readers of our statute
books will find much in tho legislation of
the last four years to atone for the charac
ter of our previous laws.
THE. CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
IN COLORADO.
The people Of Colorado recently called 'a
second Convention to eonelder the pro
priety of applying for admission into the
Union as a State. The process by which
this was done is peculiar ; but was, no
doubt, eminently satisfactory. The public
desires found expressinu in appeals to the
executive committees 01 the different politi
cal parties of the Territory, who thereupon
united in a call giving general directions
as to the places for holding elections, and
the number of delegrdes to be chosen.
The " Democratic Central Committee,"
the "Anti-State Central Committee," and
the "Union Central Committee," joined
in authorizing this movement ; and the con
currence of such hostile organizations is a
strong indication of unanimity on the main
question involved. The arguments ad
duced in favor of> a State Government, as
presented by the De ti Mining Journal,
of Black Hawk, Colorado, are unanswer
able. The only objection urged in any
quarter is the expense; but our eotemporary
replies to this by showing that the annual
cost of a State Government will not exceed
$50,000 per annum, (the expenditure of
Oregon having averaged only $58,000 for
the first six years of her existence as a
State), and that the Territory must now
expend three times that amount for
military purposes, which, after its Ain-le
sion into the Union, will be fully provided
for by the Federal Government. This prac
tical argument will doubtless have great
weight. The intrigues and influences that
prevented the ratification of the first pro
posed State Constitution will probably be
overcome on the second trial. If wisdom
prevails in the deliberations of the present
Convention, and no obnoxious features are .
introduced into the Constitution it frames,
Colorado will soon be knocking at the doors .
of Congress for admission and adding a
new star to the galaxy of the Republic.
The first attempt to form a State Govern
ment in Nevada failed, but the second,
although commenced under much more
inauspicious circumstances than those
which mark the present movement in
Colorado, surprised all parties by its popu
larity, and received an almost unanimous
endorsement from the people who had con
demned what they considered unjust fea
tures of the first Constitution. The South
ern States must hasten their work of re
form and repentance, or we shall have half
a-dozen new Mountain States represented
in Congress before they get back into the
Union, and they will certainly find Colo
rado ready to walk arm-in-arm with them
into the legislative halls of the Notional
Capitol.
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
A correspondent of a Northern journal,
writing from Fortress Monroe, gives the
sketch we print below of the conversa
tion and opinions of JEFFERSON DAVIS.
If not literally correct, it is evidently a very
probable account, and it presents a striking
picture of the mental condition of the chief
of the rebellion. The old passion for false but
subtle secession logic remains unchanged;
and it forms the basis of the. argument
upon which he founds his hope of acquittal
in his approaching trial. But, at times,
even in his perverted mind, a recollection
of the glory and power of the Union rises
up to condemn the folly and wickedness of
his attempt to destroy it—to sweep sway
the sophistry upon which he relies for
justification—to picture the guilt of which
lie is the type and exemplar as the unpar
donable sin, and to 'recall fearful visions of
the myriads of brave men slaughtered in
the contest he provoked:
Davis has taken very frequent occasion to
express fully and frankly his own views of his
conduct as leader in the late gigantic rebellion
against the Government. The excessively ego
tistical and ambitious man he is, he likes in
deed to talk of himself. When the humor
seizes him there is no end to this self-talking
and self-adulation. Listening to these egotis-
tical harangues, the evidence is conclusive
that he has talked himself into the tigin be
lief that no purer patriot ever lived. He
takes the Constitution as the basis of his
argument, - and, making this instrument abet
his sophisms,branches - oif into the most subtle
casuistry upon the subject of State rights. i.
favorite topic is the alleged persecutions to
which the South has so long been subjected at
the bands of the North. In these moods of talk
ing and argument he confesses no wrong on his
part Or that of the States seceding from the Go
vernment. His language, in fact, at times shows
him to be as arrant a traitor and hater of our
Government as when ne swayed the sceptre of
the Southern Confederacy. But the tone of his
conversations differS. Like all false men, how
ever guarded they may be, his memory some
times fails him, and leads to direct contradic
tory statements and views to those previously
uttered. More than once be MS betrayed
self into eulogy of our Government, and its
founders and policy. Speaking of our strength
as a united people, his eyes, too, sparkled With
animation as his words warmed in description
of our vast resources, and the impotence of
England and France united to bring us down
from our prowl position as the first nation on
the globe, and here the confession would
spring from his lips of the folly and wicked
ness of trying to break up such a Government.
His impulses are stron, , , as are those of oilmen
Of strong passions andtiverweening ambition,
and hence the confession. A moment and his
eyes would lose their glowing sparkle,
dark shadow would rest upon that
face—not it Word more - would he speak.

LITERARY AND LEGAL LE(iS-
LA TORS.
In the. British HouSe of Commons, there
is always a considerable sprinkling of lite
rary men. Lord Palmerston himself is
something of a man of letters. Forty-six
years ago an amusing brochure, called " The
New Whig Guide," was published in Lon
don, hitting all the lesding Whigs On the
knuckles, and making their party a pttblic
laughing-stock. At that time, (to wit, the
year 1819,) Lord Palmerston, then a con
firmed Tory, was Secretary of War in the
Government of which Lord Liverpool, the
living incarnation of Tofyism, was head,
He was joint editor of `‘The New Whig
Guide," and contributed to it in prose and
verse. He wrote the greater part of the
amusing " Trial of Henry Brougham for
Mutiny," and the letter from Ezekial
Grubb, a Baltimore Quaker, ludicrously
.describing the Whig leaders. One of the
best of the Palmerston poems was a parody
upon Moore's then recent song, "Oh, the
days are gone when Beauty bright." He
wrote three verses in the same metre, the
first of which must serve here as a speci
men of his skill in lively poetics. It runs
thu.s, and reads curiously now, after its
writer has known the delights of Quarter
day, (when office-salaries are paid,) for
half a century:
Oh! the time is past when Quarter-clay
My cares would. chase;
When all in life that made me gay
Was place—still place.
New hopes may bloom,
New offers come,
Of surer, higher par,
But there's nothing half so sweet in life
As Quarter-day!
Oh ! there's nothing half so sweet in life
As Quarter -day.
Mr. Gladstone is author of several books.
Earl Russell, (who long belonged to the
House of Commons,) has written upon a
variety of themes, from the novel called
"The Nun of Ourica"—unreadable by la
dies—to the British Constitution, and. with
uniform want Of success in each. On the
Opposition benches Disraeli and Bulwer
have won high repute by their writings.
Among the miscellaneous literary Common
ers are Mr. A. W. Kinglake, who sits for
Bridgewater, and is author of " Eothen."
and the first volume of the "Invasionof the
Crimea." Mr. Austell Henry Layard, the
explorer of Nineveh, represents Southwark,
and is Under Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs. Edward Baines, for Leeds, has
written a life of his father, and a "History
of the Cotton Manufacture." William E.
Baxter, for Montrose, is author of " Ame
rica and the Americans," and sundry other
books of travel. Sir George Bowyer, for
Dundalk has written " Commentaries on
the Modern Civil Law ;" and John Francis
Maguire, another Catholic, now member for
Cork, is the author of "The Life of Father
Mathew." SO many of John. Bright's
speeches have been published separately,
that he may be claimed as one of the literary
craft. Charles 13uxton wrote the biography
of his father, the great anti-slavery leader
after Wilberforce died. Mr. Lawrence Oli
phant, author of numerous books of travel,
and of an account of Lord Elgin's Mission
to China and Japan, has replaced, at Stir
ling, Mr. James Caird, the great agricultural
Writer. George Clive, A. D. W. B. Coda

Smollett, Lord Stanley, William gtirling,
Colonel Sykes, William Tite, Robert Tor_
rens, G. H. Walley, and several others
whose names we do not now recollect,
have seats in the House of Commons, and
have written books, one and all.
Some of the literary members in the late
Parliament have not been re-elected to the
new. Among these are Mr. Haliburton,
(" Sam Slick,") Mr. Massey, Mr. Urquhart,
Wfiliam Digby Seymour, and Isaac Butt,
first editor of the Dublin University Maya
sine. Two newspaper editors are in the
House of Commons—Mr. Baines, of the
Leeds Mercury, and Mr. 3laguire, of the
Cork Examiner.
Among the new members we find seve
ral literary men. Mr. Mill, the philosopher
and political economist (returned for West
minster by a coalition with Captain Gros
venor, the Whig, against Mr. Smith, the
Tory candidate); Thomas Hughes, author
of " Tom Brown's Schooldays" and other
popular works, brought in at the head of
the poll at Lambeth ; Mr. Laurence Oli
phant, author of numerous books of travel,
for Stirling ; Mr. Forsyth, author of the
" Life of Cicero," lately republished in
New York, returned for Cambridge (the
town, not the University); Mr. H. B.
Faueett, a blind man, but an able writer
and lecturer on political economy, success
ful at Brighton ; Mr. G. Trevelyn, nephew
of Lord Macaulay, and author of . the
"Competition Wallah," returned for Tyne
mouth; and Mr. Torrens McCullogh (who
has dropped the Celtic surname, and now
figures as plain Mr. Torrens), author of
the "Life of Richard Lalor Sheil," suc
cessful at Finsbury. It will be seen, there
fore, that the British House of Commons
contains not only highly educated mem
bers, but a fair proportion of literary men.
MR. FORREST.
After a long and severe illness, the friends
of Mr. Enron FORREST will be gratified to

LETTER FROM SARATOGA.
EXTRAORIIIR/air rillnirean OP,VNITORL
tCorrespondeneo of The Preee.7
SARATOGA, N. Y., August 15,1885
Whatever else tide and time may have
swept into the receptacle of things lost upon
the earth, it is most evident that in this cate
gory Saratoga IS not to be included. Saratoga
still lives ; and not only lives, but is steadily
and surely advancing in popular favor. What
Niagara is among the cataracts, and Catskill
among the mountains, and Newport among
the saline baths, that Saratoga is to tne water
drinkers—prince and potentate among
them
allrsui generic—itself its only parallel. Dick
ens, in one of his inimitable Christmas stories
in refutation of the doctrine of the degeneracy
of mankind, refers to the fact, that the last
child born into the world is always the hand
somest and the best. So with Saratoga. The
last season is always sure to excel all its prede
cessors—is always sure to be chronicled as the
gayest, liveliest, most fashionable, most bril
liant, most delightful of all. Thus it is again.
Even that most distinguished individual, the
" oldest inhabitlimts it is Said, is bold to affirm
that he has no recollection of any such Season
at Saratoga, as that which signalizes the sum
mer 011865. He says the hotels were never so
crowded, the town was never before so full of
noble-looking men, beautiful women, charmed
and charming children, prancing horses
splendid carriages, and liveried coachmen.
Our own observation and experience accord
with those of the aforementioned noted per
sonage. In the fifteen summers during which
it has been our habit to spend a month each
year at Saratoga, we have, never known the
place to be so thronged. Union Hall, it is said,
has at, the present writing about 1,800 names
on its register ; Congress Hall has about 1,500 ;
the Clarendon has GOO ; the Columbian 250, and
the minor hotols and boarding-houses are all
full to repletion. Besides, there is scarcely a
private residence in the village, even those of
the most opulent citizens, that has not been
thrown open to afford lodgings t 0 the straugee
guests. This is honorable to the citizens, and
speaks well for their hospitality.
CONGRESS HALL
Our party is sojourning at this popular
establishment, widen, since last year, has un
dergone extensive improvements. The hotel
proper being full, Mr.' Hathorn, one of the
gentlemanly proprietors., kindly assigned us
capacious and well-furnished rooms in his own
private residence close by, where we lodge,
taking our meals at the hotel. There are
some vocations in lite which, it has often
seemed to us, demand ,t,he Christian grace of
pattence to an unusual degree. It is a virtue
highly essential, for example, to all tellers of
banks, postmasters and their clerks, railway
conductors, editors, doctors, and, preachers ;
and no class of men stands more in need of it
than hotel-keepers, for the strain upon
their physical and mental resources is inces
sant. Well, at Congress Hall, the propti.torn,
clerks, book-keepers, and Other employees,
have this virtue almost to perfection. From
early morn until late at night, they answer
questions, and satisfy the demands of the
guests, without ever once exhibiting any
symptom of weariness or iinpatience. The
cashier of the Congress, Mr. Breslin, is espe
cially noted for his amiability, and is deserved
ly a favorite among the guests. He is
." the
right man in the right place...
SARATOGA A POSITIVE BLESSING
That Saratoga, to the sickly and delicate, the
weary and care-worn, the desponding and dye
peptic, is a positive, substantial blessing, ad
mits of no doubt nor debate. These ferrugi
nous distillations are the immediate prod - het
of the Almighty Creative Power. He who
formed the earth and bade the mountains
rise, is here compounding, in subterranean
caverns, tonic, cathartic, gaseous beverages,
such as the skill of no Chemist or Apothecary
can produce. They are among the exquisite and
mighty workmanship of the Father of Lights,
the God of all Comfort, tbe Giver of every good
and perfect gift. When j udiciously used, the
waters of Saratoga do heal many of the ills
that flesh is heir to. They do cleanse the sys
tem of its humors, recuperate the strength,
and reinvigorate the exhausted mind and
body. Most - sincerely do we wish that these
charming fountains, op ened by the DiVine hand
in the bowels of the earth, wereaccessible, alga,
to the oppressed and care-worn laborer—to
him whom the allotments of life compel, even
in mid-summer, to swelter over the fires of
furnaces and forges, or to dig, and tug, and toil
On the highways. Oh, that these hard-fisted,
sun-browned, sinew-stiffened sons of toil could
be enabled to realize, as well as the gay and
fashionable, that there is a cool air to breathe
as well as an air heated by furnaces ; and that
there are green fields, and gurgling fountains,
and pleasant valleys to e, joy, as well as facto
ries and forges to endure, in which to produce
palsies and pig metal ! ' We mourn over the
inequalities of society, but, alas, with no
POwer to correct them. Let us be careful,.
then, that by, no act of our own we increase the
Sufferings of the industrious and deserving
poor, whose hard lot in life it is only to be
over-worked and under-paid, lest we accele
rate the point,
"When over-wrought the general system feels
Its functions atop, or frenzy fires the wheels."
srA.-r - r-ntw. wow - A. MONOPOLIST
myln meditations on nature I have smme
times sought to picture to my mind a place at
which all or most of the wonderful works of
God should exist in close and harmonious
proximity. Suppose, for example, the noted
Grotto del Cani, which stands on the borders
of the Logo d'Agnans, among the environs of
Naples, could be transferred to the side of the
High-rock Spring of. Saratoga. Suppose near
by were the foaming cataract of Niagara, and
the breakers of Cape Island, and the cloud-en
throned eminences of the Alps or Alleghenies
=and the subterranean labyrinths of Ken
tucky'e iffammoth Cave—all in one and the
same loeality—what a glorious and wonderful
spot would not that be! This would consti
tute,this side of Heaven, the very Metropolis
of the Universe—the World's Mecca, at whose
shrine the millions of the earth would of.
far their oblations. But, reverently be it
spoken, the All-wise God is not favorable to
Monopolies. Both in the domain of mind and
matter He dispenses His blessings with a true
democratic equality. He is not a partial
Deity, who inhabits this hill, or that vale, or
that grove, and who regards with a compla
cent eye a portion of his creatures, to the ne.
glect of the rest. His tender mercies are over
all His works, and in Wisdom he has made
them all. He has given to one country, or
district of country, one blessing—to others,
another—and to others, still other benefits,
different from all the rest. Sea-bathing and
salt-water are to be had in one locality—Con
grass water must be, sought in another.' And
this favors the idea of a true brotherhood
among States and nations—the interchange,
not of commodities merely, but of acts of reci
procal amenity and friendship. And all this
bright, and wise, and good—an - Economy fall
of Benevolence and Good Will to Man.
CUBANS. AT THE UNION
There are this summer more than the usual
proportion of Cubans at the Union. I have
heard the number of such given at between
two and three hundred. Th 2 men are mostly
large, symmetrical, athletic, of dark-brown
complexion, and sport fierce moustaches. The
women are many of them very beautiful,
and make a gorgeous display of diamonds. If
any credit whatever is to be attached to ap
pearances, these Cubans meet be immensely
rich; for, besides their personal decorations,
they have plenty of gold. Greenbacks, except
as a commercial commodity; they eschew. I
sometimes sit for half an hour at a time, in
convenient proximity to circles, an in
tent listener to their conversation. Not, of
course, as an eares-dropper; for, I am sorry to
be compelled to say, I do net understand a
word they are saying. I can only occasionally
guess at their meaning by watching theig
facial expression. As a general rule, when I
hear people talking Spanish, I adopt the
opinion that they are scolding; they seem to
me to be speaking so hurriedly, and with such
a passionate vehemence. But I dare say it is
a mistake, for I waif myself, not long since, in
eonversation with au .European-German in his
own tongue. A bystander, overhearing the
conversation, afterwards said he was greatly
surprised to hear me swear so! So it, doubt
less, seemed to him ; and yet, I know you will
believe me when I assure you that our eon.
yersation was of a strictly religions nature,
and that not a profane word was uttered by
either Of us.
I learn, from street rumor, that within a
mile or two of the town there is what is
culled, in the sportsman , u'ocabulary, a "Race
Course," and that duril last week, in the
audience of some eight or ten thousand spec
tators, a number of horses have been made to
enter the lists and contest each other's speed.
This entire system, like bull-baiting, cock
ighting, duelling, pugilism, et cetera, I regard
as " more honored in the breach than in the
observanee." To the dumb brutes themselves,
lashed and spurred and urged within an inch
of their life, it is the very acme of cruelty.
The Good Book says: "The merciful man re
gardeth the life of his beast.” Horse-racing,
in my opinion, is a remnant of barbaritan,
which, as civilization extends, will ultimately
be surrendered to the rowdies, then to be
wholly suppresied by magistrates and police,
men.
THE MUTED STATES HOTEL
The debris of this immense structure is fast
being removed, and the foundations are being
dug anew. Humor states that those eminent
NeW York capitalists, the merchant Stewart
and Coin. Vanderbilt, purpose the erection,
on the same site, of a gigantic marble edifice,
to constitute the largest and finest hotel in
America, and to be finished, if possible, by
next summer. Hotel-keeping at this place is,
without doubt, very profitable, for I have
been assured that the proprietors of the prin.
cipal establishments " bag' , from thirty to fifty
thousand dollars in a single season!

Pours the balm of Joy and Gladness,
kilds't thy limpid, living wave,
Health and strength to thee imparting,
Makes thee Victor o'er the Grave.
Rushing from thy pyitiOn gayly,
Through the crevice and the rent;
Round the boulder—o'er the pebble,
To the verdant surface sent:
Where the sunshine and the heav'us
Flash their glory in thy gleam—
As the leaping, crystal ripples
Dance and gambol o'er thy sheen.

Drinking in the golden sunlight,
Fount of Health and Joys untold !
Sure ! Thou art the precious Nectar
Gods did quaff in days of old!
Lot from eaves of magic wonder,
Filled with light of gorgeous gems,
Comes the sparkle of thy bubble,
Brighter far than diadems,

An anecdote is told of the Bishop of EZ3-
ter, England. The scene is a church in Tor
quay; the Bishop is present, but not officiat
ing, and he sits with the congregation. The
officiating clergyman ventures to soften to
ears polite the phrase "Eat and drink their
own damnation." He reads it "condemna
tion." - A voice is heard energetically exclaim
ing "Damnation!" The whole church is
startled. But it is not a profane epithet they
hear—it is the voice of the Bishop in rebuke
of the officiating minister.
Citizens Returning from Watering
The summer is rapidly passing. The short
ening days and cool evenings, no less than the
fact that our thoroughfares are daily - filling up
with bright eyes and elastic steps, fresh from
watering places, remind us that very soon
the frosty nights of autumn will make
blankets indispensable, and bring stoves, hea
ters, and furnaces into active requisition.
The suggestion will, therefore, be timely to
our readers, who may need anything in the
stove-dealers' line, that they will do a favor to
the trade, and greatly accommodate themselves,
by giving their orders in this department
at the earliest possible ' day, before the
stove men are overwhelmed with applications,
as they invariablyare when cold weather sets
in. Persons, for example, whO may require
new ranges, or their present ones altered Or
reset, or in fact anything for either heating or
cooking in the stove-making line, could not,
in our Judgment, do a wiser thing than send in
their orders now. Of course, the best place for
our citizens to patronize is the "Headquarters!'
in that department of our manufactures—the
famous establishment of Mr. James Spear, Woe.
111 e and 1118 Market street. Our readers will
not be surprised, to learn that since the last
season Mr. Spear has made a number of
valuable new improvements, which the
public will appreciate. Unquestionably Spear
is the most prolific genius in his profes
sion, as is attested by the fact that, will
ingly or otherwise, lie furnishes to more than
one of our large Stove Foundries everynew
idea they adopt. We would state, in this con
nection, that Mr. Spear's present stock offers
great attractions to country dealers, as where
ever his Stoves and Ranges are introduced
the people prefer them over all others. His
celebrated Anti-dust Cook Stoves are the only
perfect Stoves of the kind made in the United
States i and the same may be said of his
world-renowned Anti-dust Parlor Stove. Both
of these admirable Stoves are secured to Mr.
Spear by two U. S. patents. But we trust that
we have said enough to induce all wile read to
repair to Mr. Spear's establishment forthwith,
and leave their orders.
DELlriore CONFECTIONS. —The pleasures and
comforts of bome may be greatly enhanced by
a supply of fine, fresh, healthful Confections,

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
The money and stook markets have resumed
their former quietness, and the Wall-street
rascalities live only in memory. We have been
so aeoustOMed Of. late to stupendous frauds
and forgerieS, that we consider it a von , long
time since the last occurred, and it would not
occasion much surprise if another should soon
be announced. We think, however, that busi
ness men have become somewhat awake to the
importance of conducting their affairs in a
more correct and circumspect manner, and
that such frauds as have recently 0001irred will
in the future be rendered aimed impossible.

At the London Stock Exchange the fall in our
national securities is fully explained by the
large exportation of them to that market, and
by thefgrowing activity in the loan market. On
the lattei topic The Economia of August 5
Says
"The directors of the Bank of England at
their weekly court yesterday raised the mini
mum rate of discount from 3 1 A to 4 per cent.
Although this alteration was not altogether
unexpected, it created a certain amount of
surprise, since the bullion movement through
out, the week had been favorable and the de
mand for money hardly above the average. It
is understood, however, that some large with
drawals of gold are impending for Spain and
possibly Brazil, and hence the directors have
considered it desirable to take the earliest
steps to protect their specie reserve.. In the
teneral market the effect has been loinduce
he dealers to act with increased caution, and
only in exceptional eases business is transacted
below 4 per cent. In all quarters, however,
the supply of money appears to be ample.
The state of the bank accounts is curious from
more than one cause. The liabilities of the
banking department are :
rubric deposits £5,214,377
Private deposits 14,381,727
Seven-day and other bills 557,427
£29,453,531
and the reserve of notes and coin is .66461,318,
and the coin and bullion .£14,457,648. No bad
account,. but a much less good one than we
have been lately accustomed to. We should
give a much worse judgment if it were not for
one circumstance. The active circulation ie
now higher than usual. At the corresponding
periods of this year and former years (includ
ing the bank post bills) it was
1865 £23,203,757
1864 22,489,710
1864 22,340 , 809
The circulation has, we believe, been . SWOI
- by three concurrent causes. First, The
elections. It is said to take three-quarters of
a million to elect the English Parliament, and
new five-pound Bank of England notes have
lately been seen in places where they are, to
say the least, unusual. Secondly, the harvest,
which always operatesat this period of the
year- and, thirdly, the low rate of InOne,y,
The latter, though not always immediately
traceable in the accounts, is sure to have a
considerable effect in time. People do neat
economise their money so much when it is of
little value as they do when it is of great value.
The active circulation, as a rule, and subject
to exceptions from incidental circumstances,
is higher when money is low than it is when
money is dear.

Weekly Review of the Philadelphia
Trade, in most departments, has been very
dull this week, and prices generally uuset.
ti e d and lower, Drondstufia, however, at the
close are rather firmer. Bark is in demand at
full prices. Coal Ls firmly held. Cotton has
declined. Fish and Fruit are without any
material change. Iron is in good demand,
and prices are looking up. Naval Stores
continue quiet. Oils are unchanged. In Pro
visions there is very little doing. Tallow is
rather higher. sugar is in steady demand,
Whisky is very dull. In Wool there is less
doing, owing to the - firmness of holders.

fasnimies remain quiet and prices steady,
with a small business doing in Adamantine.
Com..--Orders are plenty, but the high views
of the miners, and scarcity of suitable vessels,
have a tendency to check business, and there
is very little shipping, except to fill old con
tracts. The demand for home use is good, and
prices firm.
COPPEE.—The market is firm, but there is no
Stock in first hands, and the sales are in a
small way only at full prices, including Rio

COPPER is unchanged, and a small business
to note in Sheathing and Yellow Metal.
COTTON.—Prices tell off early in the week,
with a very small business to note at the de
cline, the demand being limited to the wants
of the neighboring spinners, who buy sparing
ly, and the week's sales reach 500 bales, at 43@
450 for Middlings; closing rather firmer and
more active at 44c it ; the receipts are in
creasing.
DRUGS AND Due are firm, with large sales of
Chemicals at full prices.
FEATHERS are very scarce and- selling in a
small way at SOW5c it, which is a further ad
vance.

Fists.—The arrivals are light, and mostly to
the dealers, and no wharf sales of Mackerel

And clothes as neat
As one can meet
