It is no secret here that the resignations of Senor Olo -maga and of the Secretary of Embassy, Senor Espana, Were sertinon the very first news of the events at Madrid, but that (although much more than the aeses sary time has since elaps «) 10 reply has been received ‘on the subject from General O'Donnell.

I give this ‘merely as a report, but as one that appears to me not un- Jikely to be well founded. {From the Madrid papers, July 25.) “The Gatetle publishes the ‘oliowing despatches :— Gijoh, which had followed the revolutionary move- ‘ment, Has returned to its allegiance.

The rebeliion is confined t> Saragossa ‘and Teruel, in the district of arragon. Those two points are now surrounded by troops, which will soon re-estab- lish the authority of the law. In the province of Granada ‘here are still a few towns in a stato of insurrection, but ‘the character the rebellion in the south assumed from ‘the ‘onset is not calculated to inspire any serious uneasi- ness, the troops having everywhere remained fuithful, ‘but without the direction of a superior chiet, in conse- uence of the unaccountable arrest of General Blanco at Jaen by the insurgents. Measures have been adopted to remedy that inconvenience. ‘The Epoca, on its side, gives the following aceount of ‘the situation of the provinces:— The intelligence received by the government is com- Piletely satisfactory. The entire of Galicia had made its Lugo, Huesca, Logrono and Oviedo have ayy the new government, and the social revola- ‘tion been put down in Catalonia. These are the events _ of the highest importance. The struggle at Reus, Barce- lona and Garcia was terrible, but the valor displayed by Zapatero, Baso) and Planas was heroical. The resuits ob- ‘tained both at Barcelona and Madrid are decisive. The conduct of General Basalo at Corunna is also above all praise. His family having been seized by the insurgents, some ofthe latter threatened to put them to death if be did not pronounce in favor of the movement or get at liberty General Ruiz. Basalo ‘ replied that he would perform his duty, let it cost what it might. The insurrection in Arragon is dcily losing ground.

It says:— Spain 18 the country of mystery and of unforeseen events, and never has she so well justitied her reputa- tion in that respect as on the present occasion The Pa risian press, all the information of which depends ona wire, which has been cut at Saragossa, is completely at fault.

In order to dissipate the sombre colors which the Monifeur has too highly employed in painting the situation of Arragon, we reproduce the two following officia! despatches published a: St. Sebastian:— GENEWAL ECHAGUES TO THE CAPTAIN GENERAL OF THE BASQUE PROVINCES. Arnacoy, July 26—1 M. A telegraphic station has been established . The Junta of Saragossa named two commissioners who waited on General Dulce, in command of this district, in order to obtain from him a truce, and thus prevent my division from commencing hostilities. The interview took place at Arira, and bis Excellency granted them five days, a time necessary for him to bring up his forces and place his siege artiliery round the town.

Lastly, we may add that all our own letters, as well ag thor e Communicated to us, are unanimous in saying that Saragossa must lay down its arms and recogniz> the go- vernment of the Queen, without a shot being tired. Tois result will, no doubt, astonish those—nad the number is considerable—who know lese of Spain than they do of the Celegtial Empire; but for those who have seen and ‘studied the men and things of the Peninaula, this finale is & matter clearly foreseen and announced The most complete tranquillity prevailed in the Basque provinces, They liad beard of the report, whether fulse or true, of the diray from Loncon of the Infante Don Juan de Bourbon, brother of the Caunt de Montemolino, but the news did not produce any sensation.

It would probably be very difficult to suggest a legal origin for the exaction of the Sound dues by Denmark. The claim must be referred to those ages when men took because they bad the power, and paid because they could not resist. One can understand, where a strait runs be- tween two banks both the property of the same govern- ment, that there may be a right of sovereignty extendiog from land to land over the interjacent water, and giving to that portion of th the incidents of private property. But Denmark ts not the owner of the opposite side of Sound, as Turkey is of the opposite side of the Nosphorus and the Dardanelles; and we are, therefore, con. strained to refer the claim ot Denmark to levy a fixed duty on a'l ships above, and a smaller one on a!l below, 40 tons, and an od wolorem daty of one per cent on all goods car ried in euch ships, tothe same venerable title as was asserted by the Earl Warenne, who, when asked for tne title ceeds of bis land, crew his sword, saying that-Wrl- iiam I. bad not conquered Fngtan 1 for himself. This titie has many advantages ip simplicity, and the entire super. session of all tedious forms and tecbnicalities; but it bax this capital defect, that it is ip e to be superseded by e means By which it ‘acquired. We know,’ authority, that a strong mi tenure of his practically limited to the time when a stronger than he cometh, and that is exactly what « 3 likely to happen with regard to the Danish Sound dues. The nations of Europe have so often recognized this impost by treaty, and paid it for so many Years, that it is too late for them to raise the cry of iMlegality, or to go back to the origin of ‘an impost, the right to levy which they have repeated!" and solemply acknowledged, But Uncle Sam is very little troubled with any super:titious reverence for pre- scription, and possibly co.wsiders that 9s @ transatlantic Power be may ¢ispense with considerati ms which weigh heavily on the older nations of Europe. At any rate, tho United States baye given Denmark notice thet from and after the month of June, 1957, it is not their intention to contribute anything more in the shape of Sound dues to the Danish Exchequer. This places the matter in y serious light, because, although the amouat of revenue derived from the tax on American ships and cargoes is pot aa yet very considerable, it is quite clear that, should ene pation succeed in emancipating herself from the claim, it wovld be extremely dit t to levy it or any other, and thus the decision of the dispute with America may ‘pessibly decide the fate of the whole impost altogether Under the preesure of these circumstances Denmark has made overtures to the other States of Esrope fora capitalization of the duer—in other words, for a sale of ibem to different nationa on the basis of a certain number of years’ purchase. This overture is understood to have been refused by Great Britain, and, instead of it, a propo- sition to bave been made to levy the dues at the ports of arriwal and departure. s0 as to avoid the delay aud vexa. tion Of atoll levied after the fashion of a turnpike gate, by stopping the ship in mid-career, There is a prece. dent for such a proceeding ia the case of the Russia Company, which, under a grant from Philip and Mary, levies a duty on all goods exported to and im: ported from Russia, and no doubt such a cours dices obviate a very Considerable inconvenience, for the delay and concomitant ex; are a heavier tax on British shipping than the Scund due itseif. The whole amount of Sound dues collected from British slips is esti mated at £70,000 a year, while the expenses and demur- rage incurred swell this sum up to nearly £500,000 a year, Grievous and vexatious are the delays inflicted on the trade, especially considering the capricious weather in that high latitude, the tntricate nature of the chansel, and the penalty to which a single day's delay may expose the unlucky mariner. The roadstead of Elriaore ts very upsafe ia spring and autumn, and from the delay accidents are frequert. Anchors are slipped, cables evapped, ships run ashore and sometimnes lost, with all on board. Changes of wind often occur at the critical moment, and the channel offers no room for the usual means of making a foul wind into a fair one, Thus days, weeks and even months are lost. Nor is this all. The captain must go ashore to get his clearance, and while he is away the sailors are apt to barter the tackle, apparel, stores, and even the cargo of the ship, with ‘bumboat men, who drive a nefarious traffic in into: ing liquors, Ail theee things form, it must be confessed, a very hey | and unfair impost upon commerce, an impost not the | gricvous because it is colored with the pretence that the money is used to maintain buoys and beacons. The great defect of the proposed plan of settling the matter is, that while it relieves shipping from the heavy expente of stopping in the middle of @ voyage to pay & tax toa foreiga State for which no consideration worth mentioning is given, it omite one most material element— the certain and enormous increase of the dues Pretty more certain than that in a few yvara, should the present Emperor of Russia only in a Blight degree redeem the anteipations that have been formed of him, we may look forward to seeing ovr Baltic trade, and consequently our payment of the Sound dues, doubled. Every year that we may wait ovly increases the amount of the annuity we shall have to pay if we resolve to leave the Payment on the same footing as now of a duty on ships and an al valorem duty on goods, or the purchase money we shall have to pay if wo boy up the tax altogether.

My Drar Sin—I have for some time felt an anxious to grow to procure my restoration to I some difieulty in cetermining ‘Would be the most enttable mode of giving effect to this desire.

It therefore seemed to me becoming to remain entirely passive, and t) subme without repi fo the consequences of an attempt which may bave been il! but which was prompted by the purest motives sedges: At same time, I baye not felt poate R duty bon 1 to om the part of otners the expression of eympa thy which seomed to me to be #o highly honorable w thoge who entertaive t it—even though ihat sympathy was the form of solicitation. As there bas~becn little disposition to underrate the mental sufferings, privations, and pecuniary losses whiah Jand my family bave sustained, I shall now speak oaly of the circumstances by which we have been consoled. It will always be to us & subject of pleasing and grateful uwember that, from the hour of my von- y of my retnrn, my own countrymen, without distinction of classes, creeds, or parties, have ex: hibited deep solicitude respecting my fate, aud from tha totime have manifested this golicitude in the manner which seemed to them most conducive to my deliverance from {mprifopment and exile. Nor bas this sympathy been confined to Ireland eu in Van Dieman’s Laud I experienced on the part of Koglish nud Se tch, as well as of Irish colonis's, the greatest possible kindness—kind ness whica I can never forget—whilat in Victoria and in New South Wales my liberation wi greeted with such gratulations as are generally offered to those who trium sh rather than to those who fail. Tn the United States large multitudes of Americans as gembled in their chief cities to solicit the intervention of the Presioent of the republic on benalf of the Irish state Ewes, aud our liberation from Van Diemen’s Land ip 854 gave cocasion to an e'drc.s of congratulation from New York, which appears (9 Lave embodied the senti ments of & greut majority Of Lue iubabii.wts of one of the largest capitals of the world, 1 bave been iniormed also that, during the present spring, an address to the Queen (which I have not as yet seen) was carried by the Legisiature of Canada by which my Festoration to Ireland was earnestly reqiested. In Jike manuer I have experienced of the part of indi- viduals devotion such as has been rarely equalled, of which I seed cite no other instance than that of my friend Mr. P. J. Smyth, who made two voyages round the world with a viow to assist in rescuing me from cap. tivity. During the session of 1865 I was apprised that one hundre: ani forty members of Parliament memorialized the Prime Minister in favor of my unconditional return. Upon analyzing the list of their names I discovered thatit contained # inajority of the representatives of Ireland, among whom were to be found some who would bave ask’ ea no other favor froma British Minister, and several whore views respecting the political interests of Ireland are Ciametrical!: posed to those whicli Lenter! 110 ag well as others who have been in the habit of supporting the whig administration. I found also in this list tne names of some of the most distinguished of the Maglish aud Scotch mem- bers, amongst whom, indiscriminately, were inen belong- ing to the several parties which dod the arena of political contention. To all who have expressed sympa. thy I would wilingly tender my acknowledgements; and it is with this view that [ now address to you this letter, in the hope that it may obtain extended pubscity, You will therefore oblige me by piecing it upon public record in whateyer manuer may appear to you most uc ceptable to those for whore perusal itis des ened.

Loxnow Moxey Maruxr, Friday evening, August L— The glorious weather with which we have been fav red bas been one of the most important features in the com mercial history of the present week, and from the slate of the thermometer to-day, there is every reason to hope for its continuance for tome time longer. So hot and forcing has the weather been lately, that in several of Southern countries the wheat harvest ts likely to com mence ny xt week, and to become general during the fol lowing. In the midland and northern countries, however, the crops are nof so mature; but under the influence of such fayorabie sunshine aud heat as we now enjoy, there is every reason to hope tbat ere long sickle will be at work in every part of tae United Kindom ‘The money market has assumed a more stringent as t, the demand for accommodation being greater than for some time past, owing to the arrangemonts in con. nection with the foreign and share settlements, and in preparations for meeting the engagements duc on the 4th of the wronth, which are understood to be extremely heavy. Tbe Bank of England rates fur money continue Unaitered; but it is a significant fact that the applications at the bank for discounts, suspended for the last six weeks, have, fora few daya past, been renewed thus showing that the open market provided by the pri vate and joint-stock establishments ts either tighter or loss liberal—that their reserves are more carefully nurred, or that a more severe discrimination is exer- cisedt The effect of the bank returning into the dis count market is, however, ben ficial. It equalises the rates, distributes the busiutes, aud prevents undue pres. sure from being felt in any particular branch of com merce, the soundness of which is admitted, but whica now and then may be in need of additional fucilities for its successful prosecution. Notwithstanding the in!la ences which operate prejudicially upon the market, there is tii! much buoyancy, and no expsctations of rates gomg higher. Little anxiety ts in eonsequence fe!t fur the itfmediate future, and the general opinion preveils that the current sate of 4 percent will be maintaines, The arrivals of specie have been considerable, amount ing to neariz,cne million sterling, and a vory largo amourt is SK oxpociod by the Royal Charter, som dine: from Melbourne, The known exports are under £20,000, exclusive of those to France, which are assumed to be about £200,000, The gold remittances to France have dimipi#bed in amount during the last few days. Tha di count houses yesterday raised their rate fur deposits call from 34 to 33, per cent.

Gold is taken coe g for the Contivest, and there has been great demand for both bar silver and Mexican doilars for the China mail, and very high prices have been paid.

MONKS MARKET. Waonrapay, Aug. 13—6 P.M. There wasa slight reaction in the stock market today. An advance was realized on nearly all the leading railroad securities; but as the purchases are principally on time it does not show the true state of things in the market. At the first board, Delaware and Hudson advanced 4 per cent; Canton Company, }; Erte Railroad, {; Reading, 14; Pana- ma, $; lilinois Railroad. §; Cleveland and Toledo 4; Chicago and Rock Island, j. The sales sum up nearly twenty thousand shares ofall stocks, most of which were on time, buyer's option. This class of operators go in for thechances, They have not the means to take the stocks when their contracts run out, and many of them have no money to pay dif. ference in the event of the balance being on the wrong side of the account. If in their favor, all wel and good—they pocket the profits, if there are any; but the losses too frequently fall on those with whom they deal. The cash transactions give the most correct idea of the market, but the ex- tent of cash operations to-day was hardly sofficient even for that We notice several sales of leading stocks, seller four and twelve months. For ‘the purpose of showing that present prices, not withstanding the recent decline, are much inflated compared with those current in November last, we annex a comparative stat t= Nov. 7, 1856, Aug. 18, 1866, Comberiand Coal... ...... ai 19 Erie Rallrootee ee a 68% Harlem Patiroag . 18 16 Rending Ratiroed , 7 BBY Michigan Centra!

In November last there was not neat 60 much stock on the market as at present. } ‘The opera. ‘ons in Wall street ajnce that tine have brought out A good deal of stock, and it is all in the bands of the brokers, The operations of the (all | months this year will without doubt largely increave the supply, and texd materially to a permanent de- erease in market value. Very low prices would an- donbtedly bring in purchasers for certain stocks, but the inducements must be very great to attract new buyers. There is such am actuve demand for capital for regular business purposes, that no one outside of Well stueet has the means or the time to engage in stock speculations, Nearly the whole of the enormous transactions at the Board of Brokers re ported to-day, were between the members for their owy account. There is no outside demand, and the probability of there being any is very poor. Until capital necumulates in the banks to the credit of the commercial classes— until business becomes so dull that there is no employment for money in the legiti- mate channels of trade—until outsiders, for the want of comething better to do, enter the street as specn- Jators, for the puxpose of makin their idle capital earn something—until prices get low enough to xe- duce the risk of buying to an ordinary business ope- ration, there can beno help for present holders—no absorption that will reduce the immense load ot stocks pressing npon the market. More than one-! half of the largest operators in Wall street are beara’ ~ore large sellers of stocks. Tbe number of holders ia therefore contracted, and that makes the burden still more difficult to carry. So long as the bank ex- pansiin continucd, and money was abundant—so long as it was eusy to hypothecute stocks at mode- rate margins—it was not dificult to carry them, or keep up prices; but the times have changed, and there is a still greater change yet to come. A tight money market must scatter stocks like chaff. No one wants to,and no one can, hold them. No one will lend on them, and those wh» have stocks coming in on maturing time contracts have to let them go out at any sacrifice. In such times the bulis bleed at every pore, and the deple- tion frequently uses many of them up. In such times the bears reap their barvest. While Wall strect is in a panic, they remain calm as a summer's morning, unadected by the wreck and ruin going on about them, and regardleas of the desperation and despair depicted’ in the faces of their opponents. Sellers of stocks act upon a fixed belief in the utter rottennces of railroad stocks generally. They be- eve that in most of these works the progress of de- cay and depreciation is going onat a rate that must, at no distant day, make them unproductive, and that as investments they will be utterly worthless. With mismanagement, competition, decay, depre- ciation, dishonesty, damages, and a dozen more causes all operating at all times, with more or lees force and effect, it is not strange tha the market value of the stock is gradually settling down. It is well known that railroad companies have gone on for years paying regular semi-annual dividends without earning more than one-half the annual payments, Such things have been showa and exposed, and they are known to exist where they have not been officially exposed. The history of New England railroads is enough to destroy con- fidence in such investments, and those who do not tuke warning in time will lose the bulk of tneir in- vestments in that class of securities. There are, we are bappy to say, grand exceptions to the rule; for good, sound, productive railroads are the excep- tions; but they are so few and far between that it requires the nicest discrimination to determine—to separa’e the wheat from the chaff—to tell whether the dividends paid are real or bogus. ‘The doubt and denger attending this class of stocks detec many faves turing sheme ot any peters At the second board there was a very active market. Prices, however, receded, and at the close the tendency downward was decided. Erie fell off § percent; Chicago and Rock Island, j; Reading, 4; Canton Company, }. We hear of a good many outside orders to sell, and parties who last year at at this time were large holders and large buyers of stocks, are now sellers on time for lower prices This shows that the mainstay to the market ia gone, and that there is nothing left but the internal power of the street to sustain prices. Oue operator sold at the second board to-day 4,00) shares of Erie Rail- road stock, principally at selier thirty days. This stock is supposed to be a portion of that purchased some time since on foreign account, at prices con- siderably above those now current. All the big houses are unloading, and the stock will soon be distributed among the weakest speculators. Money was in very active demand in Wall street to-day. The supply was comparatively more limited than it has been for months. Some of the strongest houses were in the market as borrowers. The sub- treasury collected in the first three days $1,079,393, and paid out $306,458, showing a gain in that time of $692,005. The remaining three days will not be 80 large, but the total gain for the week, over dis- bursements, will not be much urder one million of dollars.

Among the securities to be offered are $20,000 of the Lake Erie, Wabash and St. Louis Railroad second mortgage bonds. A sinking fund of one and a half percent on the amount of these bonds is appropriated from the net earnings of the road for the ultimate redemption of this issue. The Tole ‘o ond Mlinois, and Lake Erie, Wabash-and St. Louis Railroad companies have been consoliiated into one company, under the name of the Toledo, ‘Wabash and Western Railroad. The road is now open to Lafayette, (202 miles,) and by the Ist of October the whole line (242 miles) will be com- pleted.
