The country has yet to decide upon ial policy, and the military situation is such that decisive ovents are liable to take place within no long time, while the state of feeling in the South affords signs effosts in this prove abortive public, and tho values, in view of our pres which tond to further unsettle public opinion, Hence the decline of gold in anticipation of impor- tant changes, and the course of tho market reflects to a great extent the progress of events. If tho geld speculators think that anything is likely to occur to cause a fall ip the premium, they naturaliy operate fa favor of it, and vice versa, Thoir object is, of course, to make money. The sensitivenoss of gold will increase with our public “bt, and sympathize entirely with the state of the currency, and although it would doclino with tho return of poace, that event would not prevent it rising agnin °s couspared with the currency. It would oniy afford s strong popular argument in favor of a return to specie payments by discarding or funding the curren- cy, as the Fronch assignads wore fended into the mandats. Temporarily, however, it is unin‘luenced by this remote prospect, for speculation looks only to immediate intlu- ences; and this is well.

The expectation of a somewhat ec! Money market has also oporated to deter buyers from ‘coming in; but owing to the facilities afforded by the Government te the national vanks the pressure has be welioved. The demand for money during the carly of the week was active, but it moderated towards the citse.

Me. Halo, of New Hampehire, discussed the subject with tolerable impartiality. Ife argued that, as the exports to ‘Canada from the United States had increased in value from $7,000,000, 'n 1853, to $25,000,000, in 1862, and the imports from $490,000 to $20,000,000, that there/ore the ‘treaty had beoo beneiicial in developing our trade with the neighboring provinces. Mr. Sumner, on the other hand, took the opposite side, and argued like @ protectionist of the last century. He divided the treaty under four ditferent the fisheries, the navigation of the St. Lawernce, the commerce between the United States and the British provinces, and the rev ited States, With Tegard ty the fizhe pat d to the Mutual irritations before occurring; but this was wbout the only credit be gave it. The navigation of the St. Lawrence was a plausible concession which had pr littie more than 4 name, for during the first six years of the treaty only forty American vessels had passed soa. ward ibrough the St, Lawrence, aud jneteea re- treaty and their draw fair cone 80 thoee turnod by ¢ open bi commerce of the country had increase! immensely; but it was difli- Cull to eo puch of thi reuse Was owing to the treaty incn 20 of J antries had tems of the twe treaty than an; In th thr and the total import exports t 1a the proportion of If ton years of the treaty tho tual exporis ty ( suadaand tho Britih provinces ware 1, ud the total im- Poris $200,299, 756—tbe o eing iu the proportion of 100 07 ports $6,557,674—being in the proportion of 100 to 52; while the whole exports to Canada alone during the ten years of the treaty were $176,371,011, and the imports $161,474,347—or in the proportion of 100 to 4, The very unstatesmanlike deductions of Mr. Samner from these figures aro, that if no treaty had existed, and tho trade had increased in the samo ratio as before the treaty, Canada would have paid to tho United States during the ten years of the treaty at least $16,973,800, ‘which sho has boon in this way releved of. “Tits sum,’” @ays Mr. Srinner, “has actually been lost to tue United Bute and this remark alone shows him to be but a forry political economist. In the frst place, he assumes almost an impossibility when ho supposes that tho trade between the two countries would have increased in tho same ratio if the treaty had not been in operation. It was tho treaty that mainly caused tho increase. In tho noxt instance, Mr. Sumner makes a gravo mistake when he says the United States “lost” the amount stated. Ho overlooks the import nt fact, that all taxes upon commodities fall ultimately upon the consumers, and that by importing goods during tho last ton years from Conada under the treaty wo were faving in their reduced cost what would otherwise have cea expended in duties. Mr. Sumner, on the same Principle, would consider the customs duties a gain to ho United States, whereas those duties aro paid by the people of this country to the government, and the im- port tax reaches every citizen who consumes tmported *Boods as directly as any other tax does. Daring the toa years referred to, continues Mr. Sum- @or, tho United States have actually paid to Canada for Biotic $16,802,942, while in the sume poriod Canada Bias paid in duties to the United States tho very moderate um of $090,447. “Hero, again, i# @ vast disproportion o tho detriment of the United States.” Such reasoning freminds us of the debater on trade aad finance which kk piace in the British House of Commons before dam Smith and his followers cleared away the mists cobwebs of ancient prejudice and began a new era in 9 solonce of political economy. Thove ideas, however, phave long since been exploded by orflightened statesmen, @ound thinkers and the teachings of experience. If Mr. Sumner, instead of bringing false reasoning to Moar upon falvo premises, and thereby exposing his own @gnorance of what he was discvesing, had said:—“T am mtrongly opposed to this treaty, and have made up my mmiad to advovate ita repeal because I think Canada is faking moro out of {1 than we are, and considering hor pympathy with tho rebels during this war, and the fact dat sho is 4 British dependency, wo are Justified in nishing her by withdrawing (.¢ privileges of the y,"’ his course would have been less open to ticiam, for ho would have expressed » sentimont which ould have met with popular favor.

The fire occurred between twelve aud one o’ciock, so that the large nrmber of guests were all asleep. ‘The siarm was at once given by persons rushing through the botel, knocking at the Gcors, and ghoulmg “fire!” “fire!” ai the top of their voiers, The guests, thus aroused ovt of a sound slumber, jumped from their beds, and « scene which basiles deecription ensued, Men, wo- men and children could be seen runniug tn all directions, mothers auxiously inquiring for their children, who been lost from them in the confusion; children running to and fro in search of their parents, and fricude anxiously inquiring for orch other, ‘The alarm was so sudden, and the fire hed gained such headway, that (hose who escaped had barely time to do so with their lives, losing all their clothing, valuables and otbor articles. The night was a very cold onc, the pavements nnd streets being covered with ive,'and we noticed mapy tripping along in search of other quarters in their bare fect. The sight was a sor- rowful one, and one that will long be remembered by those wito gazed on it, Tiow the iire could have gained such headway before it was discovered fs more than We cau concelve; but one thing is certain, that at tho time the alarm was given, which was sounded by the mail boat atthe landing, the entire rear of the buikling was wrapped in one shoet of flac. After the alarm was given the Fire Department, with the steam machines, were proinptly on hand; and though the firemen worked with all zeal to check the de- vouring clement in its march of destruction, the flames, as they curied hivher and higher in the air, seamed to mock them in their efforts, and bid defiance to the con- stant sireams of water which were poured acainst x A_ strong north wind was blowing at the which fanned tho flames, and, as it were, added fery to the burning mass. In a short time the flames burst from tho windows fronting on Main street, and it became evident that the entire building, one of the most magnificent in the conntry, would soon be one mass of ruins. Tho flemes spread through the cntire building, destroying every- thing in their march, and there now remains nothing mi whore this magnificent etructuro stood except ono pile of black and mouldering ruins. The fire soon communicated to tho fine four story stone frout building adjoining the hotel, and in a short timo it fell a prey to the devouring element. The build- ing was the property of the Ballard heirs, and was valued at $20,000, with an insurance ‘of $10,000. The building was occupied by Andrew Buchanan, a wholesalo grocer and commission merchant, and by 0. W. Thomas & Co, pork packers, Tho loss of tho former was probably $25,000, with $23,000 insurance. ‘Tho loss of Thomas & Co. was about $25,000, which was fully covered by insurance. Brandies & Craw- ford had stored in this building a large amount of wheat, which had been removed but a few days previous. ‘The Galt House Building was the property of a joint stock goapaey, and was valued at $300,000, with an in- surance of only $39,500, Tho furniture, fixtures, &c., of the house, which were the property of ‘the new leasecs, Megsrs, Throckmorton, Anderson & Milton, wero valued at $150,000, with an insurance of $92,500.

Martin & Co. lad swred in the cellar of the house occupted by Puchanan four hundred barrels of fine whiskey, all of which was desiroyed. Their loss is $40,000, with $20,009 insvrance. During the time that the Galt House was burning num- bers of the guesis made very narrow escapes. Several who slept in the upper stories of the betlding wore badly burned. Captain a had bis hand gee cut in making his escape. Adjutant'T. Wing, of the Thirty-iifth Ken- tucky, Mr. Bird, and several others whose names we were unabie to learn, were more or lees injured. Major Frank Bristow, of tie Thirty-third Kentucky, mado an almost miraculous escape from death. He ‘occupied a room in the rear of the building on the fourth tloor, and was not awakened from hie slambers until all means of exit were cut off by the fire, The flames enter the room, and the window in which he is sitting is no fire and the flanves begin to scorch his calls for help, and hundreds gaze upon him, but are unable to render auy assistance. Every one is looking for him to jomp from tho window, which would be certain death, when iho firemen care with a ladder, being run up ‘he feines around the major increase; he Bill calls for belp; the fire gains on him, and ho is com- pelied to get out of the window and haag on the window sill by his hands. The ontire crowd ure appalled at the sight. When the ladder reaches the window hoe suc- coeds in gaining a fast hold—he is saved, and one shout gees up from the hundreds who had witnessed the al- nost miraculous escape of tho major.

Although the Paris journals have said but litle on the subject, there is undoubtedly a conciderable amount of not the most amiable feeling in the Inperial heart and the Imperial Cabinct, in regard to that Little pawage im President Lincolu’s message in which he eperks of Met. 00 as stili boing in a state of “civil war!’—Mexioo, which France has “pacified” and restored from « condition of anarchy to one of quiet and prospective prosperity Moxico, upon whose imperial throne France has placed a scion of the Hapsburgs—Mexico, which every true Frenchman looks upon as a bantling of France —Mexico, after all this expenditure of blood, treasure and tito, still in a stave of “civil war." Frenchmen generally consider that dfr, Lincola must be oither very ignorant or very wicked to say such a thing, and che Emperor and Cabinet are said to fecl that this paragraph, ane A tho whole co.irse of the administration upen the Mexican affair, is an untind return for tie “neutrality” which France has maintained during our war. Onur rebel friends founced a lite hope upon the iit fooling which this paragraph might procuce, and I have heard {t hintod that at the diplomatic reception on New Year's day tho Eimperor intended t snub «ur Charge ad Affaires on account of it. This, how- ever, is by no means pable, It ie. likely that'about all the Empecor will have to say to Mr. Pon nington on that occasion will be to express his sorrow at the death of Mr, Daytou.

Tho whilom blockade runner, now prize steamer, Julia arrived hore yesterday morning from Port Royal, en route to Boston. She left the former port on the Tth iust., putting into Beaufort, N. C., for coal on the 9th, and ro- porting at Hampton Roads on the 12th, arriving hore as above stated. ‘Tho Julia was captured on the 23 ult. by the United States gunbont Acacia, Acting Master William Farry- more commanding, and who now returns on her as prizo master. She will prove a valuable prize to her fortunate and brave captors. This vessel is a fine Clyde built fast sailing iron steamer, of two hundred tons burthon. Her Cargo consists of ovcr four hundred bates of upland cot- ton, and both ship and cargo are in excellent condition. ‘The Acacia is a small propeller gunboat, and the follow- ing are her officers—those who went home in tho prizo being marked with an astorisk :— A Master—William mmand!

Forrest, and Judge Cowley, of Lowoll, Mass., attached to Admiral Dabigren’s staff, who brings despatches. Capt. Barrymore, of the Acacia—the fortunate captor of the Julia—has @ record of which any young officer may be jusdy proud. He entered the navy when a lad, ‘and has served as ordinary seaman, potty officer, acting master’s mate, acting ensign and acting master. Every step that ho has gained has been gained by meritorious conduct. He cominanded the first naval vessel that crossed Charleston bar aftor Sumter was fired on, and has been officially commended by both Admiral Dupont and Admiral Dahigren. He will probably be promoted at once to the grado of acting volunteer lieutenant. He isa Tesidont of Stratford, Conn. ‘Tux Incomm Tax.—The Chicago Tribune publishes ao list of the residents of that city who pay taxes on in- eomes of $3,000 and upward, Potter Palmer is the viewt taxpayer, lls Income Being $230,480; John ¥, irwell, income $197,162, and Peter Schullter, incomo 108,731, aro the only other persons with incomes above 100, Those whose incomes are over $50,000 and lesa than $160,000, number nine; over $40,000 and lees than $60,000, three; over $30,000 and less than 000, nixteen; over $20,000 and less than $80,000, fifty-onn: ‘over $10,000 and’ leas than $20,000, one hundred an thirty one; under $10,000 and ever $3,000, five hundred ud winely-one.

He said he had here tofore sustained legal enactments favoring slavery, be- cause ho deemed slavery in gome respects beneficent to both racos, although he nover believed in tho inherent right of ono man to hold another man in bondage; but that those benefits had ceased to accrue, and the rebellion was rospousible therefor, He justified the acts of the administration in regard to slavery, aud vindicated the right of the peoyle to amend the constitution and abolish slavery, believing the Uaion to be the immutable basis of tho government, and the constitution its mutable policy, to be changed as necessity or expe’ jency re~ quired, Ho concluded tuat Kentucky’s interest required. tho proposed amendment, as slavery bad retarded her dovelopmont and seriously checked her advancement, THE MISSOURI CONVENTICH.
