FINANGIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Tuspar, Jan. 316 P. M. The stock market was dull at the first board, and, in aympathy with the downward tondensy of gold, prices were lower than at yesterday's second board. The varia- tions were as hore enumerated :—Erie declined 1%, New York Contral }4, Hudson River %, Michigan Southern i, ‘Dinois Central 34, Northwestern %, Rock Island 3, Fort Wayne %, Ohio and Mississippi certificates 4, Mariposa KH, Quicksilver %. Cumberland Coal advanced %. Cleveland and Pittiburg was steady. Government securities were a shade Ormer, and the foreign orders for the old issue of five+wenties advanced the price %. The new issue rose %, tenforties 34. Sixes of 1881 were steady at 109%. Afver the call and at the open board at one v’clock the market was lower, except for Erie, which advanced }¢. At the second regular board the heaviness Increased, and the olosing prices showed the following variations from those of the moraing:—Erie declined 1}g, Reading 1%, Hudson Raver 3%, Michigan Central 2, Michigan South- -ern 1, Cloveland and Pittsburg 1%, Northwestern %, Bock Island 1%, Fort Wayne 1, Cumberland Coal 1, Quicksilver 34. Government securities lost the improve ment of the morning, and closed heavy. Coupon five- twenties declined %{, now issue }4, ten-forties 3. At the gpen board at half-past three o'clock the mar- Kot was o fraction stronger; but lator, on the stroet, it Telapsed into tts former heaviness, assisted by the weak- ‘peas of gold and the sull provaiting peace rumors. The gold market was barely steady at the opening, and it soon took a downward turn, under rumors of the evacuation of Mobile and the arrival of Messrs, Alexan- der Stephens, Hunter and Campbell, of the confederacy, within our military lines, on their way to Washington, in the supposed capacity of peace commissioners. These were, of course, powerful incentives to speculation in favor of a fall, and a large “short’’ interest was created durmg the day. The quotations were;— 2:45 P.M. % of the market, as influenced by the taw of supply and demand on legitimate account, is in favor of still lower figures; bat the distrast of the finan- cial policy of the government and the influences of spoc- ufation are likely to moro than neutralize Unis and impart @ strong feactionary movement to it after every interval of dqprossion, Peace 1s a great scarecrow for the tine boing, and whenever ft presents itself in a plavalble shape its effects will be folt; but the national inances are in such a state that tke gold promium is independent to a considerabio extent of that event. The supply of money is abundant at soven per cent, there being # partial return flow still going forward from the West, while the public depositorica have not been very closely drawn upon of late by the Treasury, and the demand for speculative purposes is moderately light, Very soon, however, the loanable funds of the national ‘banks will be reduced and acloser market follow. First Class commercial paper rates at 8 a 10 per cont, had tat of the second grade at 11 a 12. Foreign exchange is quiet, and quotations for bankers’ sterling are receding under the light domand. The prow peotive shipments of cotton exercise a very depressing influence upon the market, and Dills at sixty days are of- fered at 100% a 34,'and a: three days at 110a 34, sales being made in some cases at a roccxsiou from these figures. The,Beoretary of tho ‘Mroasary, finding the sales of geven4hirty notes through the National banks inadequate to most the wants of the government without immedi- atoly resorting to fresh issues of currency or gold bear- ing bonds, to which, in deference to public opinion, if from no higher motive, he is at presont opposed, has re vivedithe old agency system adopted by Mr. Chasa, and appointed Mowirs. Jay Cooke & Co., of Philadwiphia, sale agents for the sale of this loan after toanorrow, leaving the frm m question to appoint such subagencics throughout the country as they may seo ft The rate af commission allowed is regre- wonted to be very femall, comidering that the expenses of advertising and the commissions of te @ub-agents aro to be defrayed out of it, but ag the rate 4s unknown to us we cannot say whether tho Treasury has made a good bargain or not. Of these Treasury notes there werg a little more thaa a@wock ago,a hundred and ninoty-five millions issued, ‘fan@ as they are convertible at three years from their date into’ six per cent bonds tbe loan is indirectly a gold Dearing one. Grave objections are to be urged agninst increasing our gold bearing debt under the present flnan- cial policy of the goverament; but as, from the nature of the situation, the Treasury is unable to borrow upon mere interest in currenoy loans, while ita gold bearing bonds remain so low in price in the open market as at present, and as Congress has authorized the issue of these three Yoars notes in preference to bonds, they are the only in tho way of a direct loan left to the Treasury ; and #6 the latter is in great need of money it is forced to posh the sale of these or resort to some othey and per- haps more hurtful, expedient. We referred yestorday we the inadequacy of the re eeipts from this source through the national banks to moot the neceasitice of the ume, and we knew tims very @oon something would haye to be @no to supply the Treasury coffers with more money. Private agencies Arq in some respects, dangerous and open to suspicion, Dut they possees the advantage of being able to #imulate subagriptions. Jay Cooke & Co., Laverinare, Clews & Oo., Jobn Thompson, Fisk & Hatéh—and the three last are mentioned as the principal New York agents of tho Phila doiphia firm—have the merit of being good brokers, whoreas the national banks are not 0. They recetve whatever subseriptions aro offered, and thore their busi- ness cn@s. This is not so much from a lack of willing: ness to stimulate subscriptions as a want of the local knowledge how to do it’ In somo respects they contrast ‘as much a3 two mon undertaking to repeat the same pun, one of whom said ‘Napoleon was a great man, but here's a greater,”’ at the same time holding ap a muting grater; while the other, forgetting himself, said, “‘Napo- leon was a greatman, but here’s ® nutmeg grascr.” ‘Work, like a joke, is sometimes spoiled. The agency system has, however, not yet been tried in the seven- chicy msn although it was in the fivetwenty loan, and with considerable success, Whether it succeeds or not doponds more, perhaps, upon the people than the agents; but there is no harm in having wares for sale well cried. The Treasury is in suche plight through ite own mis- ment that its chotce of action is very limited, end It is reported that it wae at ite own solicitation that the present agency was undertaken. This arrangement, wo may remark, will not necessarily prevent the appoint- ment of such national banks as sub-agencies as Messrs. Jay Cooke & Co. may think fit, The Public Petroleum Stock Exchange, 13 Broadway, corner of cena | will be opened for business at noon to-morrow, whet Governor Curtin and ex-Governor Bigtor, of Pennsylvania; A.M. Wood, Mayorof Brooklyn ; A. O. M. Pennington and W. C, Alexander, of Now Jersey, and other prontinent gentlemen, are expected to speak in illumination of petroleum. The number of subscribers already enrolled is said to be four hundred; and member- ship being open to the public on payment of twenty five dollars per anoum, this board is likely to become the rep Tosentative one of the trade in this city if it exercises a proper discrimination in the stocks admitted to Ite list; ‘but if it tolerates every imposition that is sought to be palmed upon the public by unscrupulous speculators the case will be reversed. It is Smnounced, however, that Stocks of doubtful character will not be admitted to the privileges of the board, and herein will lie its strength in gaining public confidence, The Bank Committee which recently left this city to confer with the Commissioner of Internal Revenue on the subject of taxing certified checks as currency have re- turned without, of course, obtaining any satisfaction, ‘The proper etep for the banks to take is to memorialize Congress to repeal that portion of the Internal Revenue law which applies to certified checks, The Commissioner has no power to do otherwise than act docording to the letter of the law. ‘The subscriptions to the seven-thirty loan to-day at the Firm National Bank were $231,760.

The Fenian Excitement. | RBPLAES TO FITZHERDERT'S LETTER TO THR LONDON TIMES. ‘The letter of a Mr. Fitzherbert to the London Times, on the subject of the Fenian organization in America, which we copied into our columns a few days ago, has occasioned a good deal of comment, and we have received two communications in reply from members of the broth. erhood in this city and Brooklyn. Tho first of these communications indignantly repudi. ates the idew that England is thy “mother country” of Irishmen, a8 Mr. Fitzherbert terms it, and asserts that “thorough Irishmen have evor denied the wiaternity, have ever scorned end scouted the foreign Iawa, the for- cign chureh, the fore gn tag, and the foreign domination of their would-be meternal parent.’ The writer con 1des as follows: — . the'r (the Fenian) organization ia ent, beneath the protect- of the Stars « —their strength tn num atadlishod avowed object, beliesing cari sma mea cava im ex pa'ria” of ali endear- the dearest, to m pre ry to national dg | country now pines and languishes as the save of a de 1 peaded monureby » Fenian's ambition i to give hor ond benotits of free republ can institutions er ca enjo, Fitzhorbert should sB chaos At ure the ; that he should vituperate the Fealans surprises sive vesy likoly that be 4 a recroant Irishman, sub-id zed by British wid, and writes in the bittoracss of aposta’y. | The second communication takes pretty much the game view of Mr. Fi tter aa the above, In regurd to the class of people forming the Fenian organi- gation it states — In another pait be states that every Irishman who can Teed aud write and bas no property at stake is becoming jarbert's The ssn nid ior his infor- x gonizers there 0 tnlonted and certainly able gentletnen aa dir, Fitzherbert, whomso- ever be may be, and posossors of property, top.

By the arrival of the United States steamers Honduras nd Tadapoosa, from Green Turtle Key, Bahamas, I have been put in possassion of additional particulars relative to the loss of the United States sloop of war San Jacinto, on the morning of tho 1st inst. At eight o'clock on the previous evening the San Ja cinto, being forty-four miles from land, was running o4 the rate of five knots, when ordors were gives to run her tweaty-dive miles towards the land and thea head her offshore. At this time her fore and aft eails were set. At balf-past one A M., om the Ist, sho struck on 8 reef, between Green Turtle Key and No Name Key. The wind was then blowing off shore, from weet northwest, The topsail and topgallant sails were then loosed and thrown aback with the view of backing the vessel off. At the same time a boat was let go astern, and a heavy strain wes made on the latter, bringing the stern of the ship to porta little; but the gtrain was too great for the hawser to sustain, and it parted. As long as the wind remained at west northwest the sails were kept aback, the engines working all the time. At five o'clock A M., the wind having hauled more to the northward, sall was taken in. In the mean- me snothor anchor, of about twelve hundred pounds, was made ready to be carried astern, and let go, attached to a new hawsor; but, in consequence of the wind from the northward freshening, it was found impossible for the anchor to be carried out, even with three boats and tho assistance of the wreckers. At six A. M. there were three feet water in the hold, and the leak rapidly increas. ing. Atseven o'clock the engines, which had been working all the time, gave out, At nine o'clock, being high water, there were soven feot water in the hold, when the ship bilged. At one P, M, Captain Meade ordered the sick to be sent ashore, which was accomplished w@h the assistance of theawreckers. The number aynoured to about forty. They wore accompanied by the surgeon. This accom- plished, thé next thing done was to save the stores, sails and other portable property belonging to the ship. On the morning of the 24 all bands were again set to work to save the property of the veesel and to convert tho kafis into tents for the accommodation of the officers and men. By dark this was accomplished, the vessel aban- doned and all hands encamped on No Namo Key. ‘On hearing of the disaster Mr. Brown, the resident magistrate at Green Turtle Key, where there is a scttlo- ment, despatched a vessel to’ Nassan with the intetli- gence, whereupon the Governor sent her Majesty's steam- er Medea (not Meteor) with provisions and all things needfnt, with offors of asststance to Captain Meade ; but, asthe San Jacinto was well found in provisions and other necessaries, Captain Monde returned ® courteous anawer to the Gévernor, informing him, while returning thanks, that he was supplied with all things needful, Tho Margaret Ann, the schooner which was chartered to bring away the guns of the Sau Jacinto, arrived here on the 19th in company with the Talapoosa, having the entire battery on board. Captain Moada, his officers and crew, at least such of the latter as remain—or fifty-one men’ have deserted— are as comfortable as could be expected underthe circum- stances in which they are placed. It #ecms that certain rascals have boen at work enticing the men to desert; and one of them—said to be an Englishinan—has been caught, and has met with his desserts. Several of the men Having been missing, search was made for them among the brushwood, resulting in the capture of the Englishman, who was skulking among the bushes. On being questioned, he said he was there cutting wood ; but as he could produce no axe the circumstance was suifidontly suspicious 40 warrant hia detention. On the soarch being further prosecuted, two of the deserted men were found, with their bundles all made up, and the prisoner's hat—for he was barcheaded—in one of the bundies. This was conclusive, and the man wns gent over toGreen Turtle Koy, where he was sura- marily convicted before the resident mag'strate, and sentenced to hard labor for six months.
