While everything arcand her shows life aud movement; while Italy, so long tore by Wternal diseensions, is consolidating herself into a cetted empire and taking high rank among the free ns- “ons of the earth; white the tra fitionsl obstioacy of the Soprburg dysasty is giving way under the pressure of the times, and the stleat balls of the French Lagislatare seein veecho with the voice of parliamentary debate; wuile the ideas of 748 sre arising in the South of Ger- taany, and even the corpse of Poland is burating ite core- mente, Proksia continues vo lag behind and remeing in a state of political stagnation, from which she tay be aroused to find herself on the brehk of a catastrophe. Not a single reform ny oopeequence has been effected during the buat sce Sears, not one of the reactionary lawe issued under ‘ vieutel regime has been repealed; the routiae of sem Wietration goes ou tn the same track, uader the di- rection of the same funotioneries, and if the feudal party were remstated to office 0 morrow they would fod eve vy thong in exactly the kame coudition as whea they left n.

In fact, their courage and determination might be called sublime if they were not dieplayed io so piiifal 9 cause.

Aod this is but the bogia- Dwg Of things, the first result of seltigh policy and wiifal quarrel. Short indeed haa been tho interval between error and retribution. If North and South could but have given due thought to each other's iatresta, they might jomtly have retained all their enormous commercial ‘advantages and thelr vast political Power. As itis, they will forfeit both. Ta tho policies of the world the two jealous, if not hostile, sections of the Union will now neutralize each other In tho trate of the world they wil both be losers together. The south has destroyed its own monopoly by forcing tig customera to create a rival commerce; and the North, though it will not succeed in depriving its cit zeus of the most needfol commedities, will have drivea away a produc- live traceffrom ite harbirs. The new President might well ask, iu his inaugural addres, whether auythiag of ‘hich the States of the Union complaiged was likely to be mended by their teparation.

M. ‘The startling rumors contained in the telegraphic despatches from Washington in the morning pa- pers created quite a panic in the street to-day. No oe pansed to examine the source of the alarm or to think of the countless false rumors which have been set afloat within the past few weeks, through the same Washington correspondence; no notice was taken of the pacific news from Virginia, or of the vote of two to one against secession— produced, it is understood, by emphatic assurances from President Lincoln to certain members of the Convention that force would not be used to blockade ports, retake property, or collect duties. But every one, with a common impulse, hastened to sell stocks and to predict rain, The panic was arsieted by the arrival in this city, for sale at the board, of large amounts of Virginias, Tennessees and Miseouris, which had been deposited as se- curity for the ciroulation of the Mlinois and Wis- consin banks, lately thrown out by the Chi- cego bankers. At this morning's board $15,000 Virginias, as many Tennesseos, and $89,000 Missouris, were forced on the market, and, as might have been expected, a decline ensued of % per cent in the Tennessees, 1 in Vir- ginias, and 2 in Missouris, Other State stocks were sympathetically affected, and the new government loan likewise declined one percent, When the general list wae reached, a large business was done in New York Central, which declined 1°; Illinois Central, which declined 214; Toledo, which declined 124; Erie, which declined 1%; Michigan guaranteed, which declined 214; and other speca- lative etocks. The actual decline of the morning on the other stocks was 2 {in Pacific Mail, 2 in Hudaon, 1%; in Harlom preferred, 144 in Reading, 1 in Rock {aland, and 144 in Burlington and Quincy. Railroad bonds were not affected by the panic; very little business was done inthem. After the board the market at first rallied a trifle, then fell off again and remained dull. At the afternoon board, # general improvement of 44 a % per cent took place, and the market closed steady, the fol- | no increase of demand anywhere, lowing being the last quotations:—Tennessce 74 a 7424; Virginia 6's, 74 a 74); Missoari 6's, 6334 2 63%; Canton, 1424 a 16; Camberland Coa! pre. ferred, 74.07%; Delaware and Hudson Canal, 89% a 90; Pennsylvania Coal, 80 a 81; Pacifico Mail Steamship, 8244 a 83; New York Central, 7634 a 765%; Brie, 29% a 29%; Hudson River, 42% a 43; Harlem, 146% @ 15; do. preferred, 3944 a 39°; Reading, 42a 4244; Michigan Central, 55 a 5514, Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana, 16 a 634; guaranteed, 3634 & 36% Panama, 113 a 115; Mlinois Central, 77% a 77%; Galena and Chicage Cleveland and Toledo, 33% a $2854; Chieago and Rock Island, 53% a 53%; ve Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, 727244; Mil- wavkee and Misvissippi, 1112; La Crosse and Milwaukee land grant bonds, 10 a 12; Lilinois Cen- tral bouds, 95 a 96. ‘There is no change in the money market, and ‘The werchants are éoing litle or no business, and are making no notes, railroads; no new roads are being built, and the floating debts of the existing companies are being gradually extinguihed. The business on the Stock | Pxchange is so limited that it affords very little | employment for capital. The three millions of goveroment sixes will be paid up without affecting | the market in the least. New York could take three million government bonds a week for some | months to come without creating a flurry in the | market. Under the circumstances, ia view of the | probsbie continuation of an unsettled state of things for some time to come, capitalists are much | exercised as to what they shall do with their mo- ney. Itis evident that it will not pay to put it into real estate; for what with secession, and the bad government of the city, and the Morrill tariff, the prospect is pretty clear that land, houses and rents in this city mast come down. Until some- thing is known respecting the policy of the go- vernment, it will not be safe to put mo- ney into trade; for no man ean tell to whom it is safe to sell goods, or what embargoes may not be laid upon trade in the next few monihs. The government cannot use money enough to employ our idle capital. Mr. Chase rays that $8,000,000 will supply the wants of the Treasury till July, $8,000,000 might be loaned any morning in Wall street without being felt. It seems evident that unless some new employment be discovered for capital, or some strango stock speculation should spring up in the midst of politi- cal uncertainties, people who have money will fiad it difficult to earn income this summer. The exchange market is dull. The leading bank- ers are asking 1(8)4 for sterling, and 6.2334, but there is no demand. The imports continue quite light, aud the exports of produce last week were unusually heavy. Much excitement was eaused to-day by ramors of the charter and purchase of ocean steamers by the government. The fact is, we believe, that the government has chartered the Atlantic, and is in treaty for the Baltic; whether any charters of Commodore Vanderbilt's steamers have been ef- fected, Mr. Allen, the agent, declines to state. Rumor ascerts that the Vanderbilt, Ariel and Champion have all been bespoken by the govern- ment. Another story is that the Southern con- federacy have purchased the Vanderbilt, and that payment is to be made for her in Confederate bonds at 20 per cent premium. Judging from what we know of Commodore Vanderbilt's taste in selecting investments, we should be inclined to donbt this story. Another rumor states that the government have bought the Baltic aud Adriatic; this is obviously untrue, The Empire City and Star of the West are reported off the Brazos, Texas, receiving United States troops for transport to New York. A daring attempt to swindle a banking house in Wall street, by furged or photograptiod Virginia bonds, has just been detected. A party, who is said to be a Virginian, is under arrest in conse- qeence. The business of the Sub-Treasury was as fol- lows to-day :— $190,487 13 85.000 09 186,461 11 $15,661 71 enue Kailroad Company hag de- clared & quarterly dividend of two per cent, paya- ble on the 16th inst.

Coin has remained almost stationary, notwithstanding that the rates of iuland exchange have ruled for some days above the specie point. The net deposits show a decrease of about $400,000, whilst the distant balances have augmented in the same ratio, Cir- culation is steadily increasing. The ratio of specie to every liability is 65 60-100, against 54 28-100 last week.
