Case of the Pirate Beal—A Respite from the President. New York, February 17.—The order for the execution of the rebel pirate, Captain Beal, which was to have been carried into effect to- morrow, has been countermanded for the pre- sent, and Dis case is now entirely in the hands of the Precident. PRESIDENT LINCOLN AND THE DRarr.— President Lincoln, in a letter to the Governor of Vermont, in relation to the draft, states that “the pending callis not for 300,000 men sub- ject to fair credits, but for 300,000 remataing after all fair credits have been deducted.” A committee of the Legislature of Rhode Island who had arecent interview with the President have made a report thereof, in which they say «In reply to requests for 4 postponement of thedraft, the President replied that he was -ready to aémit tbat Rhode Island had inyari- ably been among the most foremost of the States in the performance of her duty, and that she wasstill actuated by the same patriotic impulses, bat that the eountry could better altord in consideration of her merit to relingnish her quota altogether than to granta |e Saab of the draft for a single day. he moral effect, eaid he, of furnishing the men called for promptly and without hes' tion, will be as great a power asthe men them- selves, and I believe, he added, that the opin- ion which Gen. Hancock expressed to me yes- terday, is entirely well founded, that ifan army could be presently increased by four hundred thousand men, not one of them wonld ever be required to fire a musket at the enemy. If 1 should aliow a postporement of the draft to Rhode Island, 1 should be doing in- justice to other States, unless the same favor was shown to all; and as soon as it was re- poe through the newspapers that your State ad the promise of an extension, every other State, whether influenced by the same high motives or not, that Rhode Island in prefer- ring this request claims to be, would demand the same partiality.” They had also an interview with the Sec- retary of War, the result of whicn is thus stated: “The committee were informed that before a draft could take place in any district, an order to that effect must first issue from the Secretary throngh the Provost Marshal General—and- that so Jong as the besiness of recruiting should be pursned with results satisfactory to the department no order for a draft would is- sue for this State. The Secretary wasequally firm with the President that no particalar ex- tension of time could be allowe#, and that while a full assurance would be given that no draft should be had while recruiting was ac- tivery progrescing, that this must be under- stood as the condition upon which the liability to have one was suspended, pias eo Remarkable Rebel Admissions, {From the Mobile Advertiser. } We do not attempt to disguise the fact that the Confederate cause is at this moment pass- ing through its most, dangerous crisis. Large numbers of the people—perhaps upon a fair poll, the majority—are heart-sick of the war, and willing to end it upon terms which would have been scouted at as treasonable two years oreven ore year ago. Even the class of slavee holders. having the deepest pecuniary stake in the success ofa struggle for independence, are ready to make sacrfices, the mention of which a short time ago would not have been tolerated. We have not a doubt that the conn- try, inciuding the slave proprietors, large and smal), would compromise to-day for peace and independence on the basis of a gradual and universal emancipation of the blacks. We may go further, and say that large numbers would be willing to give up their most cher- ished thoughts of independence and exchange the institution for naked peace upon terms of reconstruction. This is a great change, a won- derful revolution of popular sentiment, re- sulting from fou ryears’ tremendous ¢enflict. ion. D*.

TINEE, SATURDAY, COMMENCINE AT 3; +e Dry Goons AvcTions.—Another large sale of Domestic Goods to-day ‘ives not seem to in- dicate more favorable signs as to business activity. What was said of Wilmerding & Mount’s sale yesterday, may be duplicated of that of Haggerty % Co.’s this morning. The attractions were large, the attendance great, but thesale cannot be called a success. For instance, ten entire lots of favorite New Eng- land brands were withdrawn. On one lot there were no bids, while duplicates only here and there were the exceptions. The prices varied fror those of yesterday, but seesawed up and down so that no fair ine ference could be drawn. The tone ot feeling at the beginning of the sale was good and cheering enough, but it soon began to flag as the sale progressed. There was a few similar packages in both sales, and from them what- ever of ecmparison can be instituted is to be drawn. Ballou 4-4 bleached sheetings selling yesterday at 31, tell to30c. Langdon bleached shirting felling some days ago 4t333, rose to- day to3sy. Indian River, do. do, selling for- merly at 31, dropped to 28c. Baglad heayy brown do. also depreciated trom 32 to 3c. Clarion Tick from 37 to 36%, while Premium N.Y. brown sheetings sustained an advance from 27 yesterdey to2sc. to-day. The changes, on an average, As will be seen, rather fayor the depression. Ot the other domestics sold, the following will show the state of the market. Ponegasst Cottons 2i%c; Monroe do. 21c; Good Hope Brown Sheetings 28 c; Reynoids *A” bleached do 27e; 4-4 Golden Ridge do 20 +; a30c; Bay State Brown Sheetings 32%c: Gilboa do do 254¢; Clarion “A” do 20a2Ic; Ocean doe; Mount Vernon bleached 19c; Wheaton 4-4 do “te: For- rest Dale do 4-4 333¢c; Masonville 4-1 do 37¥¢; Slater 4-4 do 33c; ‘Blue Hill Devins 33; Bed- ford Bleached Shirtings 27% ¢, &c., &e.’ Thus it will be seen that the manufactarera, jobbers, auctioneers and buyers areallat sea. They will have to wait for the great sale of cotton goods at Boston, on Tuesday, to “regulate the market.” In addition to domestics, Haggerty & Co. sold large lines of other goods. They offered some samples of richly colored Balmorals which sold at #3.30. Barnsley Duck went at 25e; 4-4 Shaker annels, 30c; and. superior qualities, 65c; 7-8 de, 56c; Kentucky Jeans, Sle; and French Nankinets, 32\c, The aeeortment of linens was quite large, and the prices were somewhat better than at yesterday’s sale at Wilmerding & Mount’s. We quote Spanish Linen at 52, 524, 53, 51, 564, 59 and 6ic; Blay do, 46, 19%, and 48, 53\4¢c. Blouse do (hei brought Séc; 3 Br and Linen Ducks, 41, 44, 49, 51, 53¢.; French Elastic Ducks were in slow demand, and only 8 few lots were sold at 37%, 39, 39's and 53¢. Ravens Duck, 1 lot at #13 per p; 20-in Red Padding at 35 and 36c. Anumber of the above Jots of Sparish and Blay Linens were passed, but subsequently were sold at a slight adi- vance.—N. ¥.

Y., Commercial Advertiser says: The marketreflects the general uncertainty that pervades everything having a marketable valne. The successful advance ot Sherman, the feeble opposition of the enemy, the para- lysis among the rebel leaders, and the failing spirit of the Southern feeling, are facts that produce a conviction of the near approach of the end of the rebellionfagainst which few are found willing to speculate. Yet, on the other hand there are few who are prepared to ope- rate on what there appears to bea very obvi- ous prospect. The general disposition is to wait forevents, rather than anticipate them. The first feeling created by the fluctuations in the price of gold was to speculate upen the changes; the seeond seems to be much less ad- venturous; prospective changes producing caution rather than speculation. This morning the stock market is weak and very inactive. There is still considerable buy- ing of Governments, princip4lly 5-20’s, on for- eign account, but yesterday 5 prices are not well maintained. Bank stocks and railroad bonds are dall. The money market is literally gorged with surplus funds. The balances due in the West Bot being covered by exchange, there is a steady flow of money toward this city, and our relations with other sections are of a similar character. Temporary loans are offered at 5 per cent.; but the general rate on call is 4 per cent. 7 per cent. loans have been chiefly paid in and renewed at 6 per cent. The rate of discount on bankers and all com. mercial paper is 7 per eent.; but those grades are very scarce. Sali) per cent. are the rates at which most of the paper now offering are dis- counted. Foreign exchange for to-morrow’s steamer is in nominal demand, and the rates are corres. c GR. Com ain sous * BUCKETS, &c,, &e., For sale by CARD. J.
