Repre: sentatives, during the discussion of the resolutions asking of Governor Kirkwood his reasons for refusing to deliver up Coppic to the Governor of Virginia. Hon. Nathaniel B. Baker, who was one of the principal actors in the un- Snished drama, was the domocratic Governor of New Hampabire in 1854. Hé subgequently emigrated to Iowa, and was chosen a member of the Legislature of that State. The Herald’s correspondent says:— Governor Baker wished to leave the hall, but was de- nied the privilege by the Doorkeeper. He rose to a point of order, declaring that the constitution required the doors of the houses to be opened during the sessiods, unless secrecy was deemed desirable by either hoyse; that there was®o rule giving SL Power ta the Speaker of the Houee, or apy officer of the House, to Jock the doors. The Srgakxr decided that it bad been usual in all cases of a call of the House to lock the door.

M. ‘The steamsbip Asie sailed to-day, with no specie on freight. Foreign exchange closed dull bat firm at yesterday's prices—1083 a § for sterling, aud 5.17} for francs. There were not many bills offer- ing, either by the bankers or mercantile drawers, and had there been an active demand an advance in rates would have been realized. The bankers, whom the course of the exchange market disap- points eadly, affirm that the importers are unable to make their remittances for want of money. ‘This view is hardJy consistent with the facts: the trade with the South this spring has been con- siderably the largest ever known, and the West is, from all we can learn, buying more than last spring or the spring before. In many cases no doubt, the jobbers have not yet given their paper for their purchases; the Western trade is just at its height, and it is quite early for settlements. But, as a rule, it ia probable that the grocers and the importers of staple dry goods are as well able as usual to make their payments this spring. The bankers forget that the country has exported sloce Jan.1 nearly $35,000,000 of cotton, prodace, pro- visions, and foreign merchandise re-exported more than last year; this additional supply of bills will goa long way toward explaining the dulneus of the market. ‘The following are the Jast quotations of sight ex- change on New York at the cities mentioned, the quotations being in all cases for gold: ~ $ premium. « There is no change to report in the money mar- ket, and we quote, as before, call loans at 5 per cent, first class paper at 5 for 60 days, and 6 for foura six months; second class, 8 a 1012, &c., ke. The conservative policy pursued by the banks for the past two weeks is very encouraging to capitalists, and tends to dispel the uneasiness which the pre- vious expansion had created. In a few days the withdrawal of deposits by the country customers of our banks will render some little contraction of loans proper and probable. i The stock market has been weak all day, but closes with some strength. New York Central operates unfavorably on the whole market. The ews to-day is that the Pro Rata bill, as passed by the Assembly, was taken up in the Senate and pro- gress reported, while private letters continue to intimate the probability of the passage of the Tolls bill in @’shape that will injure the road. Hence Central fell off to-day; after selling down to 7}, it closed 743 bid, against eame bid last evening. Michigan Southern guaranteed is lower; it sold at one time at 21}, but closes 22 bid, against 24 at the close yesterday. There is no truth in the ramors that a reorganization of the property on 8 basis of $12,000,000 is contemplated by 8 majority of the parties in interest, nor could such a reorganization take place. If the road is properly managed, it will do well enough by and by, when business in- creases, without any reorganization of its stocks and bonds. Rock Island was steady, closing same as yesterday. A dividend of three per cent was declared to-day, payable on 10th prox., which leaves the company with rather More money on hand here (after the pay- ment of the dividend) than will be required for the July interest. This is the first dividend the Rock Island bas paid for three years, during which time it has paid off all its foating debt, improved ite roadway and construction, and extended ita con. nections. An attachment was placed to-day on the funds of the company in the Corn Exchange Bank, by a creditor, of the town of Peru, who sues the city for $1,080 interest due on bonds guaranteed, it is said, by the company. Of course the proceeding is of no consequence. Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati stock is 1 per cent lower on the judg- ment of the Supreme Court, to which we referred yesterday. Other stocks and bonds were fairly active, without change from yesterday's quota, tions. The following were the last prices of the day:—Virginia 6's, 93 a }; Missouri 6’s, 81 @ 4; Can- ton, 204 @ 21; Cumberland Coal preferred, 13 a 14; Pacific Mail, 1013 a 3; New York Central, 743 a 4; Erie, 9§ @ 10; Hadson River, 38} a $9; Harlem, 9} a 4; do. preferred, 35 a 4; Reading, 41¢ a 3; Michigan Central, 41} a 42; Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana, 11a 4; do. guaranteed, 22a 4; Panama, 1343 2.135; Mlinois Central, 60} a 3; Galena and Chicago, 61} a 4; Cleveland and Toledo, 24 a 24); Chicago and Rock Island, 65} a 3.

BEEF CATTLE. ‘The indications at the opening hour on Tuesday were favorable for an advance of half a cents pound on the good grades, which were in limited supply and active re quest. Sales were made at that time at 10k0. #9 Ne , but the market subsequently became depressed, and it was hard work to obtain the prices current last Wednesday. The supply of good grades was only moderate to-day, but the bulk of the offerings were of the coarsest description, and it was exceedingly difficult to place thems at anything like paying prices. We noticed the fact that a large proportiod of the offerings were old worn out oxen, and though there was no inquiry for such, yet, for want of good cattle, butobers wero compelled to purchase them in order to ‘Yeplenigh their stock, which was, in some’ cases, well nigh exhausted, owing to the moderate.suyply of beef cattle yarded for several weeks past, and the scarcity of first class bullocks. Most of the good cattle were bought up yceterday morning at fall prices, leaving but few for to-day’s sale. The number on sale at Allerton’s was 3,037 head, and at all the yards 3,%8 head, ageinst 2,772 last week, an increase of nearly 600 head. [he sales ab Borgen Hill were very small, however, which made the aggregate sales about equal to last week. 4 large pro- portion of the cattle sold at and under 8X cents. The rapge was from 63,0. to 103¢0. a 1lc., with only a few eaces atthe latter rate.
