This costly seat dates from the grandfather o! Peter the Great, Czar Michael Feod rowitech. The third, which is, pr ly epesking, the Emperor’s throne, is popu- Lary called the Diamond Throne.

The slight improvement in prices reported at the close yesterday, brought out a great deal of stock today. The sales were unusually large, but the market was not fully sustained throughout. At the first board Erie advanced } per cent; New York Central Railroad, 3; Illinois Central Bonds, }; Cleveland and Toledo, }. Michigan Southern Rail- road declined 4 per cent. The operations in Illinois Central Railroad stock were to some extent, and im- proved on the opening price. The privileges sold this morning at 114 per cent, but that price brings out only small lots. The books of the New York Central Railroad Company opened to-day, rnd large amounts of stock changed hands. Some of the holders will find their load t.o big to carry, before the end of the month of October. The finan- cial contraction has hardly yet commenced. We shall not have much stringency in the money market before the middle of September. It commenced last year about that time, and reached its height about the lst of December. Money has not yet been actually scarce. The market has been by no means tight. The demand has been at times active, but we have had nothing like what we are destined to experience during the latter part of Sep- tember and October. Those who are deceived by the present ease and abundance will have nothing to biame but their own stupidity. We have shown, by official tables, that a contraction to the extent of about ten millions of dollars invariably takes place from September to November, both in the bank dis- counts and deposits, and there is every reason to believe that the contraction this year will be even larger than usual. The steamship Arago, from this port for South- ampton and Havre, to-day, carried out $362,095 in specie, principally gold coin.

The report says:— ‘The road {rom Americus to Albany will be completed by the Oret day of November, 1867. By that day ths 20 miles of extension towards Cuthbert will also be ready for transportation.

The capital stock will then be $1,820,160—the bond $414,000. If the bonds be converted into stock, these amounts will be changed, but their total will remain $2,234,100.

Dupee, Perkins & Sayles, dated 15th inst., will doubtless be interesting to many of our readers :— ‘There is an increasing disposition to buy the best class of mining shares for investment. The great facilities for Visiting Lake Superior, from May to November, induce more and more personal examination of the results of the adventures in that region, and each year adds many more to the list of thove who appreciate the mineral re- sources of this country as one of the elements of its pros perity.

The purchasers now appear in greater force and from more wide spread districts of country, The collections at the West have im- proved, though from late accounts the troubles were not atanend. From ail we can learn the specula- tive movements in the Northwestern States and towns have been pushed beyond all reasonable bounds, not only in breadstuffs and provisions, but in public lands and town sites, building lote, &c — the most of which have been based on the credit system. We learn from persons from the towns in that rection of the Union, that money is scarce, and readily commands, on good security, 2 and 3 per cent per month. This isa higher interest than is current at the present time in any other con- siderable portion of the Union, and ix no doubt paid in many instances by speculators and traders under the belief or hope that times may change for the better, and real estate, with other property, again advance so far aa to enable them to resell and get out ata profit. This is a precarious position, and should not the desired change for the better arrive within a reasonable time, the specula- tora will be finally compelled to let go, when we may expect to hear of a pretty general collapse throughout that overtrading and overvalued part of the world. Merchants at the West have been too much mixed up with these speculations; and hence, when we hear that A & B, or C, D & Co. have failed and assigned, if the facts could be known, we should probably find that funds which should have been applied to the payment of dry goods debts in New York have been swallowed up in some of the speculations referred to above. At tbe South, where trade to a iarge ex- tent is based on cotton, speculation haa been legs rampant, and in New Orleans and other South- ern cities, money, instead of ruling at two and three per cent a month, as at Chicago and other Ili- Rois towns, the rates have never, during the past winter and spring, a8 a general thing, ruled above eight per cent per annum. Hence the payments from that direction have been good, and the failures very few and far between. We know of no previous year when the cotton cultivator has been in a bet- ter position for purchasing and consuming a large amountof goods; and those houses chiefly engaged in that trade cannot fail to transact a large business before the present season closes. It is believed that the stock of goods in the interior ia light, being well sold off, and that purchasers must enter the market sooner than might otherwise be the case to replenish. Domestic goods have been in good demand during the week from first bands. There has also been a fair export demand for cotton piece goods, chiefly for China. The ex ports for the week ending August 16, were 1,857 packages, valued at $93,484, of which 1,250 were taken for China, valued at $63,735. Brazil was the next largest customer, and took 384 packages, val- ued at $18,779. Venezuela and Honduras come next, and other South American States. Brown shittings and sheetings continued steady at 8c. for heavy 4-4, and light sheetings at 7c.a 74c. Bleach- ed sbirtings and sheetings were heavy, and prices unchanged. Drills were in steady demand with light supplies; browns were at 8c., while 8jc. was demanded. Bleached were at 84c. and blue at 9jc Osnaburgs were steady at unchanged prices, while supplies have increased. Canton flannels were firm for the better qualities. Corset jeans were steady, with full assortments. Denims were in good demand, and prices ranged from 9}c.al0c., according to make. Stripes and ticks were in fair request, without change in prices. In duck, hard was dull, clipper was in good demand, while ravens was sold at full prices. Prints were plentier and easier. Ginghams were active, with sales, according to make, at full prices. Mousseline de laines were active, and sales made at full prices, which varied with the makes and styles of goods offered. Cloths were steady, with a fair demand. Cassimeres of fancy styles were dull. Doeskina were in fair request. Satinets, of medium and better qualities were firm.
