GaMBUNG AND Svicipx on tHe Sovxp.—At the morning prayer meeting in the Ol4 South Chapel, says the Boston Journal of the 20th inst., a gertiemen made a statement of a sad case of gambling and suicide on board the steamer Empire State last night. A party of men who Appeared to be professional gamblers wero playing cards in the cabin, and urging the bystanders to bet upon the cards. They induced one gentleman, who had been ap- parently interested in the game, to put down forty dol- lars, and by one turn of the cards it was swept into the gambler’s pocket. The loser appeared to be much agi- tated, and was seen soon after to go out upon the deck, and ina few moments afterward a man who was sup- posed to be him jumped overboard and was lost. His Dame was not known. It is supposed that the chagrin and mortification which filled his mind when he came to reflect how foolishly he had lost his money,led him to commit the act. The occurrence should warn all honest men not to pat themselves in the power of the sharpers who infest the lines of public travel. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Sunpay, April 22, 1860, The foreign trade of the port for the week end- ing yesterday was active, though not as large, in respect to exports of specie, or imports of foreign merchandise, as the corresponding week of last year. The arrivals from sea were few in number, and this may in part account for the moderate im- port entries. Importers generally complain that they are making no money, and this may, perhaps, have had something to do with the lull in the im- portations. The following are the comparative Custom House tables of the trade of the port for the week and since January 1:— mts 1888 1860. For a west . .

The total receipts, up to the date of sailing of the last Cunard steamer, were 4,127,000 bales, against 3,370,000 to same date last year, and 2,584,- 000 to same date of 1858. The cotton which re- mains behind is generally very poor in quality and so full of dirt that it is being shipped at merely nominal prices. Many planters are willing to ac- cept an advance of three cents a pound; but the advices from Liverpool are that they have already received more dirt than is wanted in that market. The carelessness with which much of the cotton was picked last season is doing a great deal of injury to the trade and the planting interest. Our market last week was quiet, with a small business at previous quotations. Breadstutffs closed yesterday with less animation than the market exhibited a week ago. The mar- gin for profit on shipments to Europe is too small to tempt many speculators into thé operation, and thedemand from this source has subsided. Prices are thus a fractien lower than they were a week ago. Owing to the interruption of traffic which usually precedes the opening of navigation, the receipts at all points are moderate. Next week there will probably be more activity at all the lake porta. Chicago is preparing for a very active spring trade. If any advance in grain should take plaee in Europe, the Western people will have a busy season. The dry goods dealers did well last week. Bet ter priees were obtained for all descriptions of goods, and the market generally bed 9 firmer tone, For the week. Pre’ There are very few Southern buyers left in town. The trade with the North and West is, however, larger than was expected by many. For the last few weeks the imports have been less than usual; it is to be presumed, however, that the de- cline was accidental. With money at 5 per cent here, and a bank expansion of $130,000,000, the importers are not likely to reduce their orders, while the manufacturers on the other aide are pret: ty sure to ship all their refuse stock to this coun- try, as usual. ‘The grocers have had a quiet week. On Wed- nesday a rally took place in the sugar market, and a small advance was obtained upon the extremely low price of the early part of the week; since then the business has been quite active. The receipts have been unusually heavy. Coffee is quiet. Teas are very dull; at alate auction nearly half the cata- logue was withdrawn. Wool islower. The bran- dy market has relapsed into dulness, Theexport of specie has been quite moderate, and the banks should net show much variation to morrow from their last published average, which was $23,626,982. This time last year they held $26,068,105. On Wednesday the Persia will probably take out over half a million in gold; but a steamer will shortly be due from California with something over 8 million to replace the void; so that, for the present, no apprehension need be felt with regard to the bank reserve. The receipts for duties were very heavy for the first days of last week, but fell eff toward the close of the week. The Sub-Trea- sury balance does not vary much ; it stood yester- day evening at $7,531,483, against $7,413,975 at the close of the week previous, and $6,811,013 at this time last year. The government receipta have held out much better than the most sanguine ven- tured to hope at the time the Post Office Defi- ciency bill was passed in Congress. The bank loans stood last Monday at $129,919,- 015, against $130,600,731 the Monday previous, and $129,192,807 at this date last year. It seems to be generally expected that they will show an increase tomorrow. Notwithstanding the emphatic expres- sion of opinion elicited by the expansion beyond one hundred and thirty millions a fortnight since, the increase of specie and deposits is understood to have induced several banks to expand still fur- ther, in order not to let their means lie idle; and in banking circles a line of one hundred and thirty- one millions is shortly expected. If this point be reached now, when commerce is only just awaking from the lethargy of 1858-9, how much will the loans amount to, a few years hence, when enter- prise has been reawakened, and the market swarms with borrowers? It is impossible to quote any change in money, though the tone of the market is easier than it was a week ago. The rate for call loans on stock se- curities or negotiable paper is 5 per cent; for first class short paper 5 ; for double name, 4 a6 months paper, first class, 53 a 6 ; single name, very choice, 6 a7; second class paper, 7 a8; names less gene rally known, 8 a10a 12. The stringency in the London money market appears to have subsided, and no apprehensions are now entertained of its affecting our market. Foreignexchange closed yesterday with a firmer feeling than was noticeable a week ago, but rates have not varied much. The asking rate at the bankers was 109 for 60 day sterling bills, and 1093 for sight bills ; for francs, 5.133 a 5.15 for short sight, and 5.163 @ 17} for 60 day bills. Some of the foreign bankers are shipping specie to Paris against sight bills ; but it is not easy to understand how the ope- ration can be made profitable. Small as the specie shipments have been this season, money has been lost on both silver and gold. The course of the stock market during the past month has been as follows:— Mar. 24. Mar. 31. ok 3.

The ad- vance in railway bonds is more considerable than the rise in stocks; the market has been sifted pret- ty thoroughly of the best bonds, and those who want to buy a good security of this character will soon have to pay for it. The demand for Erie bonds, Toledo and Michigan Southern Sinking Fund bonds, and the issues of the Harlem and Hudson River, bas been particularly active. At the present rate of consumption, the market will soon be ready to absorb new issues of bonds, and the roads which have been embarrassed with floating debts will have an opportunity of getting rid of them. State stocks continue to be much sought for; Missouris, Tennessees, Louisianas, Californias, and other well known State issues, are growing scarcer daily. Amongst the railroad stocks the advance of the past week was pretty general. Toledo, Galena, Rock Island, Michigan Southern, Michigan Central, Harlem, Panama and New York Central are all from 3 to 4 per cent higher than they were a week ago. The advante has been based mainly on the revival in railroad traffic, on the ease of money, on the scarcity of lucrative investments, on the revival of the speculative feeling, and on the general res- toration of prosperity. Unless some untoward event should occur, these causes bid fair to be per- manent and progressive in their operation. The considerations presented in this column a week since, in connection with the disturbance in the London money market, have induced some ¢or- respondents to address us lettera on the subject of the increasing wealth of the United States. Mach as has been written upon the subject, it is doubtful whether there was ever before a period at witich the future promised so largely as it does at p The stagnation of the past three years, the forced economies practised by all classes, the cessation «f all labor and money consuming enterprises, and the steady growth of production, have prepared this country for a start far greater than any similar movement in our past history. We have produced more wealth since the fall of 1857 than we ever did in the same period before, and, including railway building, etc., we have probably consumed less than half as much as we did in the years 1854, 1855 and 1856. The difference isan increased capital, upon which we are now going to trade. It is probable that the census of 1860 will show that the population of this country is not less than 32,000,000, including blacks. All of these are workers, and all, in times of trouble and poverty,can and do curtail their expenditures. These are the grand differences between this country and the na- tions of Europe. France, for instance, with a po- pulation five or six millions more than that of the United States, and the accumulated wealth of cen- turies of civilization, is not nearly so rich a country as the United States, for the reasons that of the male aduk population of France, at least 1,500,000 are drones—soldiers, sailors in the national navy, and public servants of various kinds; and that the great proprietary class of France does not and can- hot adapt its expenditures to the fluctuations of commerce, but goes on consuming just the same amount in hard asin flush times. These two ad- vantages possessed by the United States—combined with our vast tracts of fertile land, and our great staples, cotton and gold—justify the assertion that the progress of this country in the next cyele is likely to exceed the most sanguine expectations. When the United States have a population of 40,000,000—say ten years hence, or perhaps sooner—it may not be excessive to expect an an- nual export of $800,000,000, a corresponding im- port, an export of over $150,000,000 of specie, a bank expansion in New York of $250,000,000, 50,000 miles of railroad in working order, and the commerce of the world revolving on two centres— New York in the East, and San Francisco in the West—both united by a Pacific railroad. The following are the proposals received by Robert T. Haws, Comptroller, April 21, 1860, for $228,900 water stock of the city of New York, of the year 1854, redeemable in 1875, bearing interest at the rate of six per cent per annum:— Names.
