In late years Governor Seward bas added fo the original tr. it with some chaste ommaments, which nce, ae glimpect of \( are caught from the main road, of wo Orients) villa in # subdued form. The reception and drawing rooms and parlors are fittea up with exquisite taste. Although the etyle is not quite so grand, yet it is not unlike that adopted by the Hon, James B. Ciay in fit. ting op he ejegant bome at Asblend. The walis are decorated with several gems by the old masters, end Rere and there, in seme appropriate riche, isto be seen ecme chaste and spotless epecimen cf pure Italian wtatoary.

MER GROUNDS—TER /E.UTS—THR TLOWRRS—THE WALKS, FIC, The ground about the Seward mansion comprises feome three acres of land. A large portion of t ie oc :upied Dy stately sbede and! ornamental treee, the foliage of which, being at this time of year in the extreme stage of Dumuriance, givee a somewhat sombre agpect to the place, whieb 2. however, relieved by the cheerful sight of eme veld lawns aud paiterres of gay Cowers, a8 soon ag the patbwaye through thie miniature forest of trees are threaded. There is an abundance of fruit trees on the grounds, Governor Seward baving long since adopted the ‘teory that the ageful might as well be combined with the Ornamental in horticulture as in politics. The supply of eppice for bie residence at the seat of government is ob- teWwed from his Auburn estate, and the balance is distri- uted gratuitoumy among the poor tp the neighborhood. ‘Tee rece thie season are joaded down with wobdle ooking and tempting fruit. The graperies, mostly of the leabella variety, are rich in their profusion of their pimp and ewelling Dunchee; but although thue wealthy in winey fruit, Governor Seward does not manufacture bis own wine. And the report that he was interested in a county liquor grocery may here be authoritatively denied. }kpow there are other ways of manufacturing liquors ‘than dy equeezing the juice and blood of innocent rapes— Dot Auborn bas not yet arrived at that advanced state of eivilization, and it ie doubtful whether the great republi ean leader is desirous of devoting his jeieure to the pro- vetion of bad liquor ben the puri ication of the politi- ca) atmoepbere demande eo much of IN SHORT, through natural Dowers and labyrinthine paths, be mcaih ihe umbrageous shaces of full grown elm trees, ned rock maple, and locust, and horse chestoet, and ailan- ‘bus, the tall growing hazel nut, and amid clambering shrubs and vines, now resting in a cozy summer house and sgain moving on, can ® visiter to the house of Governcr Seward stroll for bours, and be interested at ammoct every turn, eepecially if he have as a companion m®gentieman or lady of such agreeable conversational powers ag the host himself, And all this on only three weree of land, That ie #0, but every inch is cultivated ane improved, and there is more room and epace in three scrce of land than many people imagine, THOSE ARAVIANE, Goy. Seward’s baro and stable having been destroyed dy fire some time since, be is now constructing on the same rite two fine stone bulidings, one of which is to be weed ag & carriage house, the other asastable, These new accommodations will be in readiness for the recep- tion of those splendid Arabian horses presented to Gov. Seward by @ Syrian merchant prince, during the Gover- nor's late journey through Holy Land and elsewhere. The Syrian bad considerable difticaity in comprehending why {t was that the I'resident of the United States had ot apewered a letter he bad sent, tendering him a present of Arabian horses, He was told that ne should have ad- Greveed his communication through the Secretary of State. Be adopted that course, and still received no answer. It wae while fecling a little chagriped at this apparent want of courtesy on the part of the American government that Gov. Seward arrived in Beyrout. The Syrian—I would give bie name, if it were not a little more unfamiliar than that of Jones, or Smith, or Brown—mentioned the case to the Governor, when the latter explained the position of the Amercan government officials in not being allowed to ac cept presonte from foreigners during their term of office. “Will you accept the horses yoursel{?’’ asked the Syriad of Governor Seward Tre Governor replied that he desired to purchase a do. cile Arabian mareyof pure blood, for the use of his young eet caugbter, and hereupon the Syrian presented Gover. ner Seward with @ pair of blood mares and an Arabian stallion, which are now on their way in the bark Speed nd to Boston, and due there in a week or two. on is represented to be the ‘“Gnest animal in all no—and 28 Arabia is a country of t Syrian Cousiderable extent, and bas had the reputation of pro- ducing the noblest of the equine creation, this stallion wow on is way to Governor Seward’s im thie oe Hittle city must be a stunner” indeed.

He is beloved by all classes of people, irrespective of partisan predilections. No work of jy tility ie undertaken unless be bas a lending and « helping hand in it.

In the course of the conversation it was stated that Jobn Bell bad expressed himse!f as not being alarmed Livcolp, in the event of his election, but that he 's influence over him. Governor; ‘‘1 do not see how Mr. Bell can be afraid of me. into a liberal expression of his I was never afraid of bim. He is a bold and able man, and never was supposed to be afraid «fanybody.

Is slavery right or wrong? That's the only question, and on that issue I go with the South.’” “Every one is entitled to his own opinion,” said Gov. Seward, and he proceeded to give in detail some of bis views on slavery a8 before enunciated in the American Senate, HOW ABOUT DISUNION? Gov. Seward ridicules the idea and the threats of dis union. ‘How,’ he asked, ‘are the South to effect dis- union? By force of arms? Look at the subject » mo- ment, South Carolina wishes to leave the Union, Other Southern States may ste & desire to join ber.

There earnest and sincere Southerners who think going out of this Union and determined until they see they contemplate, when the lights of wisdom and rea- oon and tho dictates of common prudence, will deter them from peccteleg ia cil extremities.” JOHN BROWN AND HIS VIRGINIA RAID The optainn of Oe Gee ner in regard to the raid of John Brown and his benighted followers upon the toil of Virginia. “Ob,” remarked our friend the United States Marshal, “ibet Goyernor bas given his views on that point in his Bpeect Gov. Seward placed his bead between his bands thought- fully for a moment, and without noticing the Marshal's remark aap “That John Brown had a number of lytes in ‘the North and elsewhere, I believe. Bat it was with them precisely as it will be with the disunion- ists when they come to the point of putting their schemes into practical operation. PT er ed have been thousands of Brown's lytes who believed in the practicab lit) and in the justice of his scheme until they came to put- ting it into execution, when but fifteen or twenty were found rash enough to attempt it. Brown himself I hold Ww have been a sane and sound minded man on every- thing except the sudject of slavery. On that the wrongs he and his family had suffered at tbe hands of slavebold ers in Kansas unbalanced his reason, and he became a monomaniac. He is to be pitied as well as blamed.’ ‘THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY EXPLODED. Allusion was made to the contending elements in the democratic party. “The democratic party,” said the Governor, ‘had « mission, or several missions to perform. It bas accom: anon them, and, like the old federa!, the whig and the now Nothing parties, it has gone out, and its place is now ccoupied by the republican party. ' The old federal party kept up tts organization by the cobesion of a few respectable old gentlemen for a long time after it bad ac- complished ita mission. The whig party accomplished ite mission, and would bave continued as a party organi- zation much longer had pot attempts been made to make it a qose temperance corporation. The Know Nothing party accomplished its mission, what little it had to ac- complth,and suddenly expired. The democratic party was once a party of progress; when it ceased to be #0 and becawe the pro-slavery, anti party, it ceased to exist asthe democratic party. The eco party is the true democratic progressive part Co!. Howe put in a disclaimer, in lS onene quaint way, by making. complimentary allusion to his,friend, Hon, Danie! S. Dickinson, as a representative democrat, and the talk took another direction.

The exports of pro- duce, of which about one-half was breadstuffe, were considerably in excess of those of same week last year. The exports of specie were slightly larger; the imports of foreign merchandise were also in excess. We are now in the height of the fall im- porting trade, and the country dealers are coming to town in great numbers, Should the importations be within ordinary bounds this fall, both importers and jobbers will do an excellent business, and there is every reasén to suppose that the country dealers will be equalJy fortunate. The following are the official tables of the trade of the port for the week and since January 1:— IMPORTS. For the week, 1858. 1859, 1860.

A Since January 1..$17,092,559 49,162,163 34,002,171 Continned advices of unfavorable weather in Eu rope bave stimulated our grain and food markets to considerable activity, notwithstanding the large supplies which are coming forward from the West. It seems certain that Ireland will need, this fall and next winter, a large quantity of corn. How much we can spare before December—that is to say, be- fore this year's crop can be shipped- is a problem which is exercising the minds of dealers. An un- usually large export of beef and pork may also be expected; prices are already high enough to give the grower a very large profit. In the West the movement of grain is unprecedented. Every ves sel on the lakes is employed in carrying wheat, flour and grain from Chicago Eastward, and the rush of produce so far exceeds the lake tonnage that the roads running east and west are carrying al- most as much as they can at their own prices. Food is also descending the Mississippiin large quantities. There is, unfortunately, no room for doubtin regard to the failure of the corn crop in large sections of the Gulf States; the more prudent planters are al- ready in the market purchasing food for their ticld hands next winter. The Mississippi trade this win- ter will be very active. In regard to the actual extent of damage done to the cotton crop by the drought, nothing new and nothing positive can be said. A great deal of cot- ton has been lost—some say one-half, some one- third, some one-fourth, some only a tenth of the crop planted. Nothing can be accurately ascer- tained on the point for some months to come. Par- ties interested in the rise of cotton exaggerate the amount of damage done, while those whose interest lies in the general prosperity of the Southern States affect to believe that the actual mischief will prove trifling. In Liverpool, where the stock on hand is unprecedentedly large, the operators succeeded, on the first news of the drought, in putting op the price {aj ofa penny per Ib., and at latest dates the market w uoyant at the advance, It is pro- bable that the world will in 1861 consume mach More cotton than it ever did before, and as cotton has been pretty steadily maintained since last Sep tember, in the face of a crop twenty per it greater than the largest previously harvested, it is fair to pyre p that, if this year's crop should prove short, the increased demand and diminished supply will cause prices to advance. Much, how- ever, depends upon the general movement of mo- netary affairs, the maintenance of peace in Europe, and the actual returns from the South next fall. The banks will probably show a loss of specie to-morrow, The export, including the shipmggt of Saturday, 18th, and exclusive of that of yester day, amounts to ahouh$1,500,000, against which the banks received on Thursday $798,533 from California. The Sub Treasury has been a gainer since last week; the } proached six millions, Some gold has been re- ceived from the South, but the West has drawn money from us, and on the whele the banks have has once more ap. probably lost money to the interior. The last spe average Was $21,008,701, a decrease of $567,029 from the previous week. At this time last year the banks held ©0600 in coin. The move ments of the banks, in respect to discounts last a large increase on the average of the correspond- ing date last year, which was $117,541,070. It is hardly necessary to repeat what has been so often id in regard to the present bank expansion, In the present conditioa of the commerce of the coun try unusual caution ought to be displayed by our banks. If this year's crop had been a poor one in the West it would have been safer for the banks expand then it is at present; for the sudden prosperity which has befallen that section of coun try will tempt the people into new expenditures end new enterprises, which are sure to tax the ca- pacity of our banks to the utmost. Prosperity ix in reality, more dangerous for them than adversity. They should always remember that the crisis of 1857 followed the enormous cious p reaper ity of 18 joney Was active all last y crop and the prodi- ek at our last que ns, to wit, for d us on United States New York State stocks, 4a 5 per cent: on other se urities, 6: for short first clase acceptances, 6 per cent; for 44 6 months’ paper, first class, endorsed, 7 per cent: for ingle names, highest grade, 7: for names lest generally known, § a 10a12. It is now pretty generally understood that the short crop in England is going to produc t n enhancing the value of money in I ops always create an increased money, been nvolve inereas of foreign bre which must be paid for in specie. What an advance the price of money in England will produce here ins to be seen, On the e ha w market alw substavtial the eympathires that England cause with ow ther, th very ca which we the ivance in money in the Rritish markets ought to produce a corresponding decline in ours. If the English re- quire to send abroad $19,000,000 or $20,000,000 more than una! for purchases of American bread staff’, we shall need to export so mach the less specie, becanse we shal! send abroad co much the more prodnce. But, again, other considerations will soon ¢ into play to affect our money mar ket. Fe ly three years, all or all the apecie of the country hae been & ‘od at the creat finan niree, The country kas owed so h mon New York, Boston, Philadelphia nd New ¢ ne as be podtively ripped n fovyishing Western Two victims were sent to | towns where the people could not, all last year, have collected a thousand dollars together in specie. The great Western crop is going to change all this. Specie must flow Westward in the old chanmels; the blood of commerce, 80 | stagnant at the heart of the body commer- | cial, will soom circulate throughout the extremities, and vivify the whole. This process will naturally, in course of time, involve a reduction of the spec! reserve in the New York banks to the old figures — | say $12,000,000 or $15,000,000—and create a cor- responding activity in the money market, and a corresponding increase in the value of money. ; These changes, of course, cannot be effected in a day. They will be gradual, and will take time. But no one who reftects on the past can doubt that they are inevitable. The foreign exchange market does not vary, and ovr quotations are stereotyped, viz: for bank- ers’ bills on London, 109§ a 0 for sixty days, and 1103 a { for short sight; for bankers’ bills on Paris, 5.5} ali} for sixty days, and 5.10g for short sight. At these rates a margin for profit is left on shipments of specie to cover bills, and accordingly the specie shipments are fully up to the average of preceding years for the season. It is not prob- able that the September or October shipments wil be as heavy as usual, as we shall probably send abroad a large quantity of food; even if they should prove as heavy as those of last year, the aggregate for the year would be considerably less. The recent advance in cotton is likewise likely to check the outward flow ofgold, by helping the hold- ers of the enormons stock now held in Liverpool.

The most popular stocks among speculators continue to be Illinois Central, which is doing a largely increased business both northward and southward; Galena, which, for the first time for three years, bi large wheat, and is likely to have @ large corn crop on its line; Toledo, which must do a handsome business when grain i driven to the railroads for transportation, and on which the resumption of dividends next year is pret- ty certain; Rock Island, which now, through the Mississippi and Missouri road, drains sixty or seventy miles more of country; Michigan Central and South- ern, which, in consequence of the want of tonnage on the lakes, are likely todo a very large business in forwarding food eastward this fall, anda much better winter business than they have had for some years. The bear party, which was confident and vigorous a few days since, has ceased to operate to any ex- tent, and seems content to see stocks advance still further. State stocks de not participate in the up- ward movement; there has been little variation in prices for some weeks. Railway bonds are in ac- tive demand, especially the issues of roads which have defaulted on their interest—such as the Erie, the Michigan Southern, the Toledo and Wabash, and the Chicago and Northwestern. The idea of the buyers is that this year’s crop will enable all the roads to pay their interest punctually. Some returns of the third week’s traffic on the Western roads have come to hand by telegraph. The Galena gains $15,000; the Michigan Central, $9,000; the Toledo, $1,400, and the Burlington, $28,000. It is generally understood that a project is om foot in the State of Mississippi for the acknow- ledgmeut of the famous bonds which are known by the name of the Planters’ Bank bonds. These bonds, amounting in the aggregate to $5,000,000, were issued in the year 1839, as the State subscrip- tion to the Planters’ Bank of Mississippi. They were sent to Philade)phia for sale, and it has been claimed by the State that they were illegally dis- pose: Atany rate, in the year 1839 the State ceased to pay interest on them, and shortly after- wards refused to acknowledge them in any way; ever since which they have been unproduc- tive property, and have been offered vainly for sale at 20 cents on the dollar, and even lower. Within the past year or two an effort has been made to induce the State of Mississippi to redeem her credit. Till recently, every Governor of the State, and almost every representative in the State Legislature, was compelled to pledge himself to the repudiation of the Planters’ Bank bonds before he could obtain popular suftrages; this has so far changed of late that the present Governor, Mr. Pettus, in his last annual message, strongly recommended the Legis- lature to acknowledge the validity of the bonds, and to provide means for the payment of the in terest. It is believed that the recommendation will shortly be acted upon. A large amount of these bonds are believed to have been bought up by speculators in this country, who are using great exertions to bring the Mississippians to a sense of the importance of retrieving their financial credit, and it is expected they will succeed. Should for- tone crown their efforts, the operation will be one of the most magnificent of the day. A few months ago any quantity of the bonds could have been bought at 20 cents on the dollar; now there are none in the market. CIPY COMMERCIAL REPORT. SAICRDAY, August 25~6 P.M.
