Captain Cadwallader Ringgold, Commander of the United States frigate Sabive, at present anchored off the buoy at the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, was the recipient of a magnificent swordon Tuesday, July 1. The presenta- tion took place on board the Sabine, and the sword is the gift of the marines whom he rescued from the foun- dering ship Governor, on the night of November 2, in the midst of a raging storm. Nearly all the naval aud marine officers now at this station were present, among whom were Commodore Paulding, Commander Meade, Commander Radford, Lieutenant Fillebrown, Lieute- want Barrett, ‘Major Garland, Captain Haywood, Lieu- tenant Blake, Lieutenant Kelly, togetber with severa of the officers of the hundred souls whom Captain Ring gold rescued. All the officers; blue jackets and marines Delonging to the ship were also present in full regalia, and the ship locked as cleam apd neat asanew vin. At the hour appointed Major Garland, commander of the marine corps, presented the sword in the following sp- propriate terms:— Cartan Rinccotp—The privates of the late Port Royal Dattaiion of marines, through their committee, Have chosea me to act as their organ in presenting to you & sword, which Bave had manufactured for the pur- sr ndapipemenrmiag Sen py mer ape ped ‘8 terrific storm on the rescuing them, during night of the 2d of November last, when on their way to + steamer Seereeey theirs but for your timely succor at the risk of your own t oficers and crew of your ‘by you om that occasion. y Port Royal on boara the me to deliver to you on the presentation of the sword.

Receive it, sir, as a grate- ful tribute and an eminently meritorious reward for a gallant and noble deed, such as everywhere wins the ad- Miration and praise of mankind, and such as I trost may eventually bring you tothe attainment of that higher reward wi ‘an eplightened Christianity teaches us to hope is in store for the good and the brave.

Among the clergymen of this place who were required to appear before the Governor on yesterday, was Rev. W. H. Wharton, chaplain of the eee Father Wharton seems to be over fifty years ofage. Hardstudy, intense solicitude for the spiritual welfare of sinners, with much prayer and mortification of the flesh, while they usually reduce the flesh 0: the :evoteo, and impart @ pale and cadaverous hue to his countenance, have not produced these effects on the good chaplain. He is quite a portly and sedate looking gentleman, He is the author of a certain penit8utiary report which will give him @ name coextensive with the country; said re- port advising King Harris to rejease certain felons from the peniientiary to join the rebolarmy. We ex- humed a portion of the report on yesterday, and have thus given it a wider notoriety than the pious author ever dreamed of. Genius never appreciates Its own por- formances, aud we doubt whether Father Wharton actu- ally realized the fact that he was loking his name toa document that will make him remember long after his ayers and homilies aro forgotten, On entering the Executive chamber a diatogue of the following parport ensued :— CuarLain—Governor , I am present at your requisition. Govennor—I wish simply to say to you that the time has arrived when the government must know its frien is and put.down its enemies. You are suspected of being hostile to the government whose agent ! am. Cuartain—Well I regard myself as a loyal man, and expect to be obedient tothe g-vernment.

GoveKNxon—There are men in Nashville professing that citizenstip who are responsible for the blood of more of our gountrymen than the soidiers who have bayovets in their hands. You call yourself a citizen of Heaven. Just look at this document—(handing him the following extract with the mame of Wiliam H. Wharton annexed w it):— Thave witnessed with much satisfaction the cheerful alacrity and diligence with which tne prisoners (in th penitentiary) have labored for the State jy (ug last fo months, in preparing the matopialy of.war, to which ey were stimulates Ly het mmneniiable and peertotte ardé? ave faboved fa.chfully for their country, and many of them, young me. placed in con- finement for minor offences, might be judiciously sel as objects of Executiv ucy, Who would endeavé to atone for the misdeeds of the past by acts of bravery and heroism onftho battle deld.

Money is worth 5 a 6 per cent on call. The sup- ply must be increasing as the dividends are paid; but, pending the operations before Richmond, peo- ple are rather careful how they employ their means. There is very little mercantile paper in market. Certificates of indebtedness are quoted par; green backs, 104% a 106. The uneasiness arising from the want of news led to a further advance in gold and bills to-day. Gold opened at 10934, advanced to 109% a %, and closed 109%% bid. Bankers’ bills opened at 1204, at which figure there were sales, and advanced to 120%, 120% and 121. There are speculators who deem gold and exchange the safest investment just now. It is remarked that these parties gene- rally have little faith in the success of the Union armies. The stock market was much depressed, this morning by the want of news, and at one time a panic existed. The approach of the Fourth always brings some stock into the street. On this oc- casion the number of people who are afraid of the future is larger than usual. An unfavorable construction was put upon the new call for 300,000 more troops, and some faith was attached to the idle reports in the foreign seces- sionist papers regarding foreign intervention. In the course of a day or two Wall street will proba- bly discover that the new call for troops isin reality a favorable and not an unfavorable indica- tion, inasmuch as it insures the thorough suppres- sion of the rebellion; and at the same time the rumors of foreign interference will be appreciated at their true value. Meanwhile the bears had their innings this morning. At the first board govern- ment sixes declined 5 on the coupons and 4 on the registered; seven-thirties fell 24, Tennessees 9%, Missouris 114, Pacific Mail1, Central 1, Erie 5%, preferred 24, Hudson %4, Harlem 34, Michigan Cen- tral %, Southern old 34, guaranteed 1%, Pa- nama 1, Illinois Central 2, Cleveland and Pittsburg %4, Galena 1%, Toledo %, Rock Island 1%, Prairie du Chien 13% All classes of bonds were lower. The Northwestern seconds fell 2, the assented bonds 1, Wabash se- conds 7, the Michigan Southern sinking funds 144, the Fort Wayne firsts 2. After the board the market was very heavy, and Central sold down to 91. The rebel sympathizers were in high feather, and had a@ score of disastrous rumors to relate, There was no recovery at the second board, and State stocks and some other securities fell still lower. Government sixes (registered) fell 1 per cent, Tennessees 2, Missouris 1, Pacific Mail 1, Erie %, Erie preferred 1, Hudson 44, Michigan Central 2, Southern old 1, guaranteed 3%, Panama 1, Illinois Central %, Galena %, Toledo 1%, Kock Island 1%. Tho street was full of rumors of disaster, which could be traced to no reliable source. The follow- ing were the closing quotations:—United States 6’s, registered, 1881, 10134 1914; United States coupon, 1551,. 10134 a 102; United States 5’s, 1874, —a 92; Treasury notes, 7 3-10 per cent, 10434 a 10424; Tennessee 6's, 5534 8 55%; Virgin'a 6's, 56 a—; Missouri 6’s, 4934 a 4934; American gold, 100% a 109%; Pacific Mail, 114% a 11194; New York Central, 9114 a 913%; Erie, 3544 a @534; do. preferred, 62% a 62%; Hudson liver, 4634 a 46%; Harlem, 16 a 16% do. preferred, 33 p 29; Reading, 51% a 58; Michi- gan Central, 6044 a 6044; Michigan southern and Northern Indiana, 2534 ; do. guaranteed, 5524 a 56; Panama, 133 a 134; Ilinois Central, 59 a 59%; Galena and Chicago, 69% a 697%; Clevelant and To- ledo, 4734 a 48; Chicago and Rock Island, 63% a 63%4; Milwaukee and Prairie du Chien, 32a 33; Michigan Central 8's, first mortgage, 106 a 107; Illinois Central 7's, 91.0 9114. After the second board the rumor of the capture of Richmond caused a rally in the market. For Central 914% was bid; for Illinois, 59%; for guaran- teed, 56%, &e., &e. The business of the Sub-Treasury was as follows to-day:— . $7785 000 00 3,038,062 97 10,762,222 92 uges at the Bank Clearing House this morning were $26,330,300 77, and the balances $1,810,707 90.
