Considerable speculation exists in Kurope as to Pal- merston’s feelings towards the Euro revolution. He is claimed by some, even leacers of the people, as the friend of democracy—as the aympathioer with Han- ry and Italy. There is a letter extant of his, to which Treat Jour attention at this juncture, the more so that its existense has been denied. In Angust 20th, 1848, Manin, the President of the Republic of Venice—the be- Jeaguered city of the sea, then at its last extremity, made @ pathetic appenl to the British government—set forth the straits to which the citizens were redusei—expressed their self-cevotion—their hatred of Austrian misrale — their earnest eppeal to the great British na’ to Inter. diplomatically for their detiveranse, While Lord 's answer to this app’al was waited, hope ‘duoyed up the Venctians.

There was no particular movement ex cept in Reading, which was quite active at the ad- vance. Erie, Harlem and Central were compara. tively quiet, but better prices were realized. At the first board Erie bonds, 1875, advanced 3 per cent ; Tlinois Central bonds, }; New York Central bonds, 7; New York Central 7’s, 3; Cumberland Coal, }; New York Central Railroad, 2; Erie Railroad, 4; Read. ing Railroad, }. Erie bonds, 1871, fell off § per cent. Of railroad bonds, Iilinoia Central wore the most ac- tive, at an improvement in prices. Taere was a bear tale at 70, seller's option, six months. Quite a large business wes transacted in railroad bonds at the first board today. There are now on the mirket three classes of New York Central bonds, half a dozen classes of Erie, two of Illinois Coatral, three of Hudson River, two of Paname, and so on. Bonds of nearly all the Western railroads are in | this market,and the supply of each description is at all times ture to be equal to the domand. Tae | question of usury having been raised on railroad bonds issued at twenty and thirty per cent below | par, bas induced those interested to examine the Jaw on the subject, and we find in some of our eve- ning cotemporaries an extract from the atatatss of | Miinois and New York, on the point alluded to: — Law ov tux Starz oy New York. Passed April 6, 1860. Chapter 172. Ist. No corporation sball hereafter interpose the do fence of usury in any action 2d. The term corporation, a+ used in this act, shall be corporations not possessed by ‘individuals’ or pariaer- ships 34. Thia act shall take effect immediately, Law ov Tax State ov Intaxors. Approved February 11, 1853 1st. That no corporation shall hereafter interpose the defence of usury in any action. | 2d. The term corporation, as used in this act, shall be construed to include all associations and joint stock | companies baving any of the powers and pri of oo not possessed by individuals or partner- hij a ‘This act sball take effect from and after its passage. We have not lost sight of these laws, and our re- marke were made with a fu!l knowledge of the par port and meaning of each. These laws are propor | acd jost. It is very seldom that the managers of en inccrporated company who were parties to the usurious acts, put in that plea to destroy the debt; hence there existed very little necessity for the pas- s9ge of the above act. No company in ita corporate capacity can put in the plea of usury for the repu’ dition of any indebtedness it may have created, Buh a restriction was sivocated by incorp»rated | companies, and it is well enough as a check upon | railroad managers; but it ‘goes no further; it by no means frees the bondholders from the dangers of | euch a plea. Any stockholder can put in the plea of usury, and when we find such men as form the #to. kholders of the New York and New Haven Rail. road Company patting in su h a pleato get rid of an honest ard just claim, there will never be want. ing individuals willing todo the dirty work of in- | corporsted companies who may want their servi es. According to the law of this State, quoted above, | the New York and New Haven Railroad Company, | in its corporate capacity, is debarred from putting | in the plea of usury in any action; votwithstandiag which we find a snit commenced in the Supreme | Ccart, by the New York and New Haven Railroad Company, sgainat the holders of the over-issued stock, in which that plea is made very important point inthe complaint. The law says that “ no cor poration shall hereafter iuterpose the defence of usury in any action.” The New York and New Haven Reilroad is a corporation chartered by the Legislature of this State, ard our laws reguiate it. Tt is true that bat a po: tion of its property is in this State, bat all its rights and privileges derived from our Jawa are sufficient to give them great control | over the entire interests of the corporation, So the compsny will find before it gets through with its | #windling operations, | After the adjournment of the board the following tales of stocks and bonds were made at auction:— $10,000 Great Western Ill.

The financial and commercial accounts are not of @ favorable character. The markets for our great staple exporta were dull and prices bare'y sna tained. Cotton was dail and the sales only \o the trade. The marutacturing districts continue to send forth most gloomy accounts, and there were no indications of an immediate improvement. A more general edoption of short time was contemplated. Breadstoffs were inactive and depressed. Flour apd wheat were lower; Indian corn without altera- tion. The demand was almost entirely conflued t> the wants of the trade. Quotations for consols were a fraction lower. The closing prices were 91 a 91}. Money was in active demand, with a correspon‘ing supply. There was no particular stringency in the market. The demand for gold for exporta‘ion con- tinued active.
