” - FiNANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ‘Sunpar, May 15, 1864. ‘The last message of the rebel President to the rebel Congress contains, among all its gasconade and verbiage, 0:6 feacure in relation to Avance waich is worthy of con sideration, and which ought to attract the attention of ‘the currency tinkers in Washington. He says — It is Delieved to be of primary importance that no further ‘Mesue of Treasury notes should take place, beceuse any Addition to the volume of currevcy would be attended with disastrous effects, and would produce the speedy Fecurrence of the evils from which the funding law has ‘Tescued the country.” The adventurous chieftain bas ‘tasted the bitter fruits which an enlarged issue of paper Prom iges produced in the rebel confederacy, aud the ex perience of a mistaken and reckless financial policy ‘Prompts him to warn his colaborers in the cause of robellion not to permit themselves again to drift ‘4n the same direction. says:—'Nothing would @0 much retard the bevedcens infuence of peace on all the tmterests of our country as the existence of a great mass of currency not redeemable in coin.” These words apply ‘with more force to the North than to the sections over which that presumptuous official holds such feebie con- tro! and temporary command, The sentiment, although coming from so bad a source, will nevertheless find #@ place in the mind of every individual who bas not devoted himself, body and soul, to the Molock of specula- ‘tia, or who regaras the welfare and financial faith of bis country of paramount importance to horse contracts and supply agencies. To the South, however much the de- luded people of that quarter of the Union may im. agine they will be. Ddenefited by financial or other laws which may be enacted at Richmond, is ean be of ‘very little importance what is done or to what extent ‘the miserable trash which they use as money is ia. ‘Creagei, because we at the North are now moré fully ‘®owvinoed than ever that afew months bence—aad it may be only wooks—will find it, be the volume large or small, Of no more value than the paper miller would place upon it for the purpose of remapufecture. With us ts different. We shall continue our national existence, and tne closer we can bring our currency to the specie ‘oasis, the greater will be our rejoicing on the recurrence ‘Of peace. But if after that coveted event we are to have ‘Defore us the prospect of being annoyed and distressed for another period of three or four years with ire @ecmable Treasury notes and bank issues, to say @othing of the dirty faced fractional ourrency, half the joy which would otherwise be experienced when ‘{t ts announced that the clash of arms has ceased would ‘De buried bepeath # thousand millions of trredeemable Yegai teuder Treasury notes, national bank issues and +wild cat” currency. ‘The passage of the Tax bill by Congress, if the Senate does not spoil it, will cive us a good start in the right di ‘Tection; and if Secretary Chase will be :te qast in the policy whion he announced in a recent letter to a member of the House of Representatives, of diminishing the ‘United States notes in circulation, andigradually with- ‘drawing from use as currency the interest bearing legal tenders, be will retire to private life, about nine months dence, with the consciousness that in carrying out that single determination he atoned for the perpetration of a great many financial blunders.

Overgrown manufacturing town. It prescalts few or uo temptations to capttalisis or ‘mon of busioces: The tall chimates of the brewery that makes undoudtediy the best beer in the kingdom, built and owned by the local prince, mayor and gentleman of the place—Edward F. Flower, Esq.—furn‘sh about the only indications of any manufactures in Stratford. Were the spirit of Wasbing- ton Irving to revisit: Stratford, after the lapse of fity years, be would scarcely find a stonealtered. Or could the gentle Will himself revisit the oarth he would re quire no local guide to show him the way through his na- tive town. Many of the very houses are standing now that were erected before the post left the scene. And the three or four places and sites that are most intimately associated with the bardare in existence now, in almest the oxact state that they were im Shakspere’s time. The house where he was born, the ‘church where be lies buried, the cottage of Ann Hatha way, bis wife, and Charlecote Hall, the ances- tral seat of the Lucys, who had the young poet up for Poaching among the deer, are standing the same as they ‘were three hundred years ago. Making due allowance for human weakness, no doubt but there bas beon an antagopism between the Lucy family and the poet, bis works, his fame and his admi- rers, ever since the baronet of Elizaboth’s time was immortalized as Justice Shallow, Not masy years since the Mayor of Stratford gave a Corporation dinner on the poet’s birthday, and he sent @ polite request to the baro. net representative of the Lucy family—es almost the only county family that owns @ deer park—to knew if he would send them a saddle or two of venisen te grace their feast. He received in reply s point blank refusal, with a most indignant message. He (Sir—— Lucy) was * astonished thatthe Mayor of Stratford should send to him to assist in celebra. ting the birthday of a man that bad insulted ono of his encestors.”” There's anger for: you, with the antique flavor of centuries resting upon it. But the feuds of families cannot endure forever, and the preseat Lucy bas very wisely and bamanely forgiven young Stakepere for iampooning ® great, great, great (as many as you Itke) grand.ded. Charlecote Park and Hall bave been hospitably and generously thrown open to all the visitors that attend the tercentenary of Shakspere. Its present proprietor, though, ts a woman, not a Daronet. Bofote ‘proceeding to notice’ the colebra- tion that has brought all the world and his wife to Strat- ford it may be interesting: to potioe how the spirit of the poet has gradually overspread the town even more than {t bad whea Irving visited Stratford. There is Shakspere stroes here, ‘branching off from Henley street, in which ts the post's birth piace, Then there is ‘ bostlory named the Falstaff Tavern, besides the more noted Shakspere Ian, and the Red Lion, that Irving patronized. One day after Mr. Flower hed completed the largest Duilding forming his brewery, and got his immense casks erected for cooling, working and refining bis beer, be had some literary company at hie house, and, among others, was Douglas Jerrod, thea attached to Punch. In going over the brewery mine host said be would like some Shaksperian names for bis large beer casks—some Of them not quite as spacious as the famed Heidelberg tun used ass wine cooler, but large enough to bold five hundred to a thousand barrels. After several—more or less appropriate—had been suggested, Jerrold said:— I have it,”’ and, seiziog @ piece of chalk, wrote on one, in large letters, “Comedy of Errors.” As if all beer brew- img and all beer drinking must be called a drama of blu ders. Very like bis witty sarcasm. They finally called the largest cask ‘Measure for Measure,” anotber “As ‘You Like It,’ and one, wherein the beer works most vio- lently, “The Tempest.” One was called ‘A Midsummer Night's Dream,” another ‘Twelfth Night,’ and one the “(Merry Wives of Windsor.” I bope the draughts from Holicon thas the poet gets in Flysivm are equal to the Deer that is browed im his native Stratford. Sbhakspero baving brought name, fame, celebrity and countless visitors, with their good’ will and long purses, to Stratford, the six or seven thousand resident people, represented by the Mayor and Corporation, thought at the three hundredth birthday of the poet they would do something to honor him. They wished to give— Praise to the bard, whose words are driven, Like flower seeds by the far winds sown, Yer beneath the sky of Heaven The birds of iame have flows. ‘Though visted by people of ail ranks and conditions of life from every part of the world, the stratford people wished to show that they were worthy custodians of the cradle and grave of the greatest genius the world bas ever seen.
