Soon atter She whole mare of ovr popula'ion was astir, as if moved by @ common impulse, and our thoroughfares began to aseume a holiday look. Soon the entire military of the city was under arms, amd marching to the appciated ren¢ezvous prior to Yabing plsce in the live of the proeé-sion; and the va- hous associations to which posta had ignep as- membled at the points cesignated by the wtee of Arrangements. On the arrival of the Mobile steamer, early in the morning, s large de'achmect of the military of our sister city of Mobile was received by a committee of the Conti- mental Guards, who invited them to partake of a breakfast, ed for them at the lake end of the Poncbartraia oad. This detachment consisted of the Movile Ca- deta, Irfan'ry and Ritles, uncer the command, severally, of Captains Sancs, Chamberlain and Bissell; and they were received, on lancing, by Col. Christy, an honorary member of the Contiventais, in a very eloquent and ap- propriate speech, to which due response Was mace. A pleasant hour having been passed at breakfast, and tm social converse, the whole patty took a special train for town. The cars were cecorated with banners ‘the inscription, “Our Mobile frien@y,” and a separate ear was farnished for their fact, the ar- Fapgements mate by the commitiee of the hospitable ad gallant Continentals for the reception of tneir bro- ‘thers in arms were, in every partiou‘ar, most ample and judicious. Meantime, the Continentals had marched from thelr @rmory to the Washington square, on the live of the railroad, and awaitec the arrival of their guests, who arrivec urder @ salute from a detachment of the bat- wallon of Artillery, acd were reeerved in due mihtary orcer by the Continentals, urder Capt. Labi.zan. Capt. Charies D. Dreux, sccompanied by several mety Bers of the Clay Monvmental Ass ciation, was then intro- duced by Cap’. Labuzan to tae commander of the Mobdiie Battaliov, and in « briet but eloquent speech . weleomed ‘them, 1p ‘he rae of the association, to a participation tm the interesting ceremonies of the day. A me aber of ‘the infantry then came forward, and ma’e a fitting and feeling reply; after which the line of march was taken up, amd the visiters were escorted by tacir hosts to their place in the line.

To none were the genius and services of the tllustrious statesman and orator more desr than to his eountry- woman: with ail those lofty and commanding qualities which s#ay senates, and guide the course of empires, he hed a heroi-m of heart, a chivalry of d-portment, a deference of demeanor, which, while foraing the soul and secret of his impassi med rloqaence, were irresistible taliemans over the minds of the gentier sex.

With about the usual activity, prices experience: about the ususi fluctuations. The leading railroad stocks do not ‘ary more than @ fraction trom day te day, aad as most of them are steadily improving in actual value, we Dave every reason to believe that they will advance steadily, but gradually, in market value, At the first board to-day Tennessee 6’s advanced 3 per cent; Canton Company, +s; New York Central Railroad, ; Cleve- lana and Toledo 23, Reading Railroad fell off % per cent; Panama, ; Galena and Chicago, 34. The most im’ portant movement to-day was in Cleveiand and Toledo" It was very active from the opening to the ciose, ‘The stock was in demand at the close of the first board at the advance, but soon after fell off and sold at a de- eline of 134 per cent, There is not much stock on the market, and hoiders do not appear disposed to sell. With one exception Cleveland and Toledo is the lowest Western railroad stock on the market. I: is considered a permanent cight per cent investment, at par—the New York Central is no more, and selis at 924 92% per eens The cpening of the Wabash Valley road has added largely to the reesipts of the Cleveland and To/edo Company, an? it ls now propored to run the steamboats of the Michi. gan Southern Railroad Company to Cleveland, 1n- stead of Toledo, This will throw the whole of the through travel by the Michigan Southern route over the entire lergth of the Cleveland an} Toledo line, and thus form # new and important source of revenue. In view of these movements, holders are not disposed to part with their stock. Cleveland aad Toledo atock is worth more to-day than it was eight months eince, when it was selling at 93 = 95 per cent: Michigan Southern was not so buoyant to-day, but it opened and closed firm at our quotations. There is not much activity in the stock, and we see no indications of » movement. The earnings of the road thus far this month bave been unusually large, and are likely to con- tirue so, We consider this » stock richly worth par.

There have been transactions to @ mo- cerate extent in Erie, Chicago and Kock [siand, New York Central, Readi:g, Michigan Southern end Central Cieveland ard Toledo has again deen the object of | pecu- lation, and after sudden fluctua'ions closed at a rise of 4c Mcney isin ratber more active demand, om eall, at 7 per cent, according to ite length wad class. kxchange on London is firm, and in ¢enand at 1005; 0 %; on Paris, bills are scarce at 5f. 163, a Sf. 1734. ‘The Reading Railroad, it appears by the report, brought down during the week ending on the 15th inst. 51,055 ‘tons of coal, which, added to the previous business of the year, makes 519,065 tons, against 606,203 for the same time last year; leaving a deficit of 86,728, To make up this deficiency and reach the business of last year, will require a weekly average of 51,314 for the balance of the year, snd to reach the increase of 1856 over the bustness of 1854, 57,963 tons will be required. In tnat event, which, from the imeressed facilities in the mining depart ment and the present condition of the rolling mashinery of the road, is altcgether probable, 2,439,376 tone will be about the business for the year. If not, or if under the amount, the prospect for a supply of coal will be ra‘her bleak to consumers. This fact, if we cont.mplate the concition of the works leading to the ether sources :f supply, will be clearly, if not palpably, manifest. The Schuylkill Canal, with its Increased number of boats and all the advantages of » full canal throughout the season, is now short 85,756 tons, and so in proportion is the cong dition of the Lehigh and Delaware ana Hudson, Conse quently, to make up the deficiency on the SchuyMaili will require a business of 32,088 tons per week, (greatly above the sversge of last year), and on the other two works average weekly business corresponding with the business of the year. But as we cannot contemplate @ neason eo peculiarly favorable to the business on oa- nals, and ss the beatmen, from the profits on the osrry: ing trade are not ins condition to increase the number ct boats, but are rather disposed to turn them in the trade to another account, we mast, in making an esti- mate, cut down the business on the cavals at least 300,- 000 tons from the business of 1855. A few weeks m the busiest part of the season, with boats reduced to half their espacity on aecount of the water, would warrant a larger estimate, and very much reduce the pros. pect of anything likes supply. At present the tonnage from the Schaylkiil district is sbort 172,264 tons, and aa the brainess of last year exhibits an increase over the business of the previous year, of 423,347 tons, we must lock for @ similar increased demand during 1856 The new furmaces and factories now im operation, and going into cperation, along the line of the Reading Rail- road, will take up ha'f the amount, and even if we ad- mit the posribility of the canal reaching ‘ts last year’s business, we will find that the weekly estimate of 57,968 tons for the Reading will be greatly below the re- quirement. Therefore, as there is no possibility of the canals re- gaining their present deficiercy, andas the new sources of supp'y are net in a condition tomake it up, we must fall back upon the Reading for relief, and towards the close of the season very considerable advance in the ar‘icle, The capacity of the Reading Railroad, we know, is about 4,000,000 of tons; and as it has hitherto been the wittha the. requiremtats “of fie Smartt we oss Sediatg auguentation of eats’ “is the avatog. depart ment the increased facilities are fully equal to the increased demand over last = business; and as the present rolling machinery, if constantly employ will reaeb the increased business on the roid, it follows thet ‘a few more trains per day will make up the deficiency expected from the region. But if the deficiency in the ia to be considered, the business om the Reading during the year 1856 must exceed 3,400,000 tons. Among the paseengers per steamer George Law, which sailed to-day for Aspinwall, were Professor Newton 5 Mapross, geologist, and Charles Bonner, Esq., raining en gixeer, accompanied by a party of miners and workmen. ‘There gentlemen go out in the service of the Chiriqui Im provement Company, and will proceed direct to Boass doi Toro from Aspinwall, By the last mail, the most favora ble accounts were received from the agent of the compa- ny at Bocas del Toro, tending to confirm in every poin the great value of the company’s possessions—addttizaa! ocal mines having been found ip most convenient jocali tes. The advent of these gngineers on the spot will be the eignal for active operations, and we may look for var¢ to a shipment of coal from this cistrict to Aspinwall at an early day.
