INANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Borpay, Feb. 12, 1865. Quotations on the Stock Exchange have experienced t during the past week, although unsup- by outside speculation to any considerable extent. o market is inherently weak, but the Jow prices at which leading railway shares were selling a short time ago afforded an opportunity for engincering & moderate rise. Speculative feeling is, how- ever, on the whole tame, and there ig @ pros- pect of its continuing so unless public attention Should be directed from government securities and petroleum to the railway list, or a foreign demand should Spring up; but, as American railway stocks have not been regarded with much favor in the money mar- kote of Europe hitherto, the latter cannot be relied upon, however low in price they may be. The efforts of brokers and professional speculators to manipulate stocks will, Revertheless, keop the market from stagnation, and just now the disposition is to advance prices. This would be greatly strengthened by a steady rise in gold, with which the Stock Exchange would sympathize, whereas @ dull and drooping gold market would exercise an opposite influence. There has been a revival of activity in national cold- pose bonds, arising from both a home and foreign de- mand. The purchases of five-twenties and ten-forties for shipment to Europe were larger than usual, which is attributable to their improving value there and their low price hore. Attention has been drawn to the ten-fortfes by their relative cheapness, and they have recovered about two percent from the point at which they stood ten days ago. ‘Tho effect of this advance hag becn to stimulate subscriptions to the seven-thirty loan, the ag- gregate of which for the week, through Mr. Jay Cooke's agency, is roported to have been $9,960,000. ‘The quotations for government securities, and railway ‘and miscellaneous shares at the Stock Exchange in this city, at the close of each of the last four weeks, were as follows:— Stocks, American Coal.....

Lowest, ‘Tho vory light legitimate demand for specic operates Peworfully and deprosses the premium on it. The con- ition of the national finances acts as a counterpoise to this by fostering distrust and a belief in further deprecia- tlom of the currency in the future. Congress is, how- ever, boginning to show signs of awaking to a sense of its responsibilities in this great question of money, and the amendatory tax bill now beforé it will, if adopted, add largely to the receipts from interna] revenue.

The comparative earnings of the Atlantic and Great | Western Railroad during the month of January were as follows :— $207,208 1865 - $319,711 2 $112,443 ficiency of rolling stock on the Erie Railroad in Satterthw&ite's Lou- don circular of Jan. 25:— The Atlantic and Great Wostern Railrond is at present deprived from realizing those large receipts which the traffic awaiting its opening entitle it to expect. It is clear that the Erie Railroad management is pursuing @ most suicidal policy in_not being propared to take the business offered to It. Sucha policy would not for one moment be allowed to rule on our English raflroads, alos of one-half of one per cent is too low. It wouldbe found that one per cent would be as willingly borne, and therefore as casily collected, as the half of that sum. ‘Tho tariff has not yot been revised by the Committee on Ways and Means, but it demands attention with a view to the increase of our gold revenue, The recom- Mondation of the Chamber of Commerce relative to the taxation of exports suggests some strong argum:nts ‘against such a measure, not merely on account of ite un- Constitutionality, but on purely politico-economic grounds, It is an open question, however, whether a @mall revonue might not be derived from such a tax, in the ad valorem form, without material, if any, damage to ‘our oxport trade. ‘The proposition of Mr. Morrill to tax bank circulation at the rate of one-quarter of one per cent a month after the st of July noxt, and at the rate of one-half per cont after tho at of January, 1866, stands in need of modification. It ts excessive and in indirect conflict with the bill tax- ing sales, which exempts evidences of debt and securities for monoy, together with the coin and bullion. But, al- ough it would be unfair to include bank circulation in @xemption, a tax of one-fifth would be ample, The present tax is one-twelfth of one per cent a month, and fan additional duty of one-sixth per month upon the average amount beyond ninety per cent of the capital stock, and a further additional one-sixth upon the amount of circulation be- yond the average of the six months preceding July 1, 1864, The object of Mr Morrill in making this amend- mont would appear to be the taxing of the State bank cir- culation out of existence; but in all such measures re- gard must be had for the rights of property and the inter- eats of the banking and commercial community, The national banks are entirely exempted from tho operation of that section of the Internal Revenue law to which the amendment applics, and there would be no equity in & prohibitory impost on the light circulation of the State banks, while the institutions under the new Jaw are allowed to swell their currency issues to the ex- tont of ninety per cent of their capital without sharing the b»rden. A chimerical plan for paying off the national debt has ‘boon broached In certain quarters which is entitled to rank with tho hundred and one futile schemes which have boen successively proposed for paying the national obt of England. It is to get ip @ subscription for the amount, One suggests ten thousand dollars each, another ton dollars only, but both suggestions are equally imprac- tcable and unbusiness like. The government would be @imply going » begging by assenting to an attempt to earry any such a coarse and humiliating contrivance {nto execation. The government, like an ordinary com- mercial firm, must pay its own way, maintain its own oredit, and be solvent or insolvent by its own acts. Money has boon easy during the week m@ seven per cont on call; but loans on governments, and, in excep- tional cases, on other first class securities, have been mado at six. Foreign exchange has been weak and inactive, and at ‘the close bankers’ sterling at sixty days was quoted at 10854 10934, and at three days at 100% a 1104. According to letter from Collector Draper, twenty- three voasels loaded with the cotton captared at Savannah ‘were at Hilton Heady to sail under convoy for this port on the 7th inst, This suggests the question of the rights of the ownors of the cotton seized, and the policy of the governmont in dealing with it. There are probably famong those who claimed private ownership of por- tions of that taken at Savannah men who ‘are anxious to soe the war over and the Union restored; but it is @ bard matter to tell, unless in the care of per- sons who have served in the rebel army or navy, who are loyal and who are not. The indiscriminate seizure of cotton, without regard to the rights of individuals in cor- tain oases, would exercise an unfavorable moral effect in tho South, and lead to the wholosale destruction of cot- ton and other produce whenever It stood in danger of immediate capture by our forces. This it would be woll to Avoid in tho interest of the Union as well as com- morce. ‘Tho total value of the imports other than dry goods Were # trae of this gigantic character suddenly to bo found waiting accommodation at the moct distant terminus of the London and Northwestern or Great Western Railways, wo should find meetings of pro- prietors at once ‘called, and capital would be immc- diately raised to provide sufficient rolling stock and extra track; but unfortunately for the best intorests of the Erie Railway, it would really appear as if the road had been worked and managed more for the advan- tage of some large capitalists and for stock jobbiny ope- rations in Wall strect than for the advantage of the general body of sharcholders and the best interests of the oncern. A considerable amount of Erie stock is now held in this country. Will English shareholders sit idly by? or will they, by united action, tuko some stops to Fescue so fine a property from its late bad style of management, and thus double or treble their dividends? It is now beyond any question whatever that the great East and West tratlic exceeds existing means of trans- ort; as population pours into the fertile States of the ‘est and Northwest, the difficulty will only increase, but such rallroads as put themselves in. a position to meet the cate, by providing rolling stock, and, above all, by putting ‘down doublo track throughout the entire length, so that she and the consequent delays are avoided, such roads, and such only, are those that will reap the great harvest waiting to be gatherd. ‘st CITY COMMERCIAL REPORT.

Then the Fronch and English governments will at once rocog nize the rebel confederacy and break the blockade, and, if need be, rendor even more positive assistance to the South. This-is the programme, which finds many professed belfevers smnong secersionists and copperheads in Poria, Tho question about the recognition of Mr. Lincoln, as I’restdent ouly of the Northern States, was raised by the Pa'riv immediately upon the arrival of the result of tho election.

Proudhom, the great socialist writer and free thinker, was baried on Saturday last from his residence at Passy. ‘True to his convictions and teachings, one of his last requests was that no religious ceremonies should be per- formed over his body, and that he should not be taken toany church.

Already the knowing ones arg aoounying thomselyge in reaard to the tmperial discourse with which the session will be inaugurated, and some even pretend to give the heads of what his Majesty will enlarge upon on that occasion. Our Southern friends now assert that the Emperor is Preparing to recognise the South indirectly by accredit- ing M. Chateauronaud, after the 4th of March next, to Mr. Lincoln as President only of the States which were re- presented in the electoral eoliege. They aasert that this policy will be foreshadowed in the forthcoming address. I find that the Southerners here are urging this idea with all their power, and that it has’ already gained considerable ground in French political circles. I can say positively that there has been ne official intimation of any such intention given here, and the idea that a gov- ernment possessing the slightest degree of fairness should resort to such a wretched sophism to give aid and comfort to rebels seems too absurd to be for a moment seriously entertained. Still, I must say that the idea is daily gaining ground here, and that some sendible North- ern men of my acquaintance expreas a fear that there may bo something in it. ‘The Emperor, had he desired to foreshadow anything ke rupture of amicable relations with the United States, had an opportunity to do so at the imperial ball at the Tuileries on Wednesday evening last. Instead, how- ‘evor, of doing that, he departed from usage, and relinquish- ed 8 point of etiquette in order to render more agreeable thp position of our representative at this court, A Charge @ Affrires, being accredited to the Minister of Foreign Affairs only and not to the Sovereign, is not supposed to have any communication with the latter. At the pre- sentations at the Tuileries the Chargé @’Affaires does not Inttoduce his countrymen directly to the Emperor, but simmors his introduction through @ chamberlain who stands between his Majesty and the Chargé, This ha always been the case beiore, and there was no reason to suppose that the rule would be departed from on Wednes- day evening. When the Emperor enterod the room in which the diplomatic corps were gathered he addressed,a few words to Lord Cowley, who stood at the head of the line, made a remark to the Italian Minister and then forced his way along until he came to Mr. Bigelow, who occupied a position nearly at the foot, He held out his hand to Mr. Bigelow and expressed his ification at seoing him, and complimented him upon his good stand- ing with ‘the United States government, which 80 promptly placod him to the position which he occupied. fo then addressed a few words to Mrs. Bigelow—asked her how long she had beon here and parsed on.

Ta the presentation eetemony no chambertain stood be- twoen the Emperor and Mr. Bigelow, who introduced our countrymon directly 1 his Majesty, This was certa nly an unrsual and entirely unexpected proceeding, and may bo explain! as, in part, an evidence of good feeling towards our government, and: in part a high personal ‘iment’ to tae occupant of the position of Chargé The following Indies and gentlemen were presented by Mr, Bigelow on Woduesday evening:—Mr. and Mrs. Jos, Riggs, Me. and Mrs, Daniel Torranco, Miss Adelaide 'Tor- ninco) Mrs, and Miss Bininger, Me.

HOW TO’ PREVENT THEM—PRINCIPAL CAUSES OF THEIR OCCURRENCE—NECESSITY OF AMENDING RAILROAD CHARTERS, ETC. f 10 THY EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Lnoticed an article in your papor of the 8th instant headed “Railroad Disasters, and How to Provent Them." In speaking of this topic you say that ‘‘the frequency and fatal charactor of railroad accidents of late rendor it im- porative that some cogent measures should be taken to provent their occurrence,"’ I have no doubt there is but one opinion on this subject. But the remedy you pre- scr be does not and will not prevent the repetition of thoso sad disasters. Iam remaining on, and have been over one yoar two-thirds of the time on one of the most important railroads in the United States, and my observa- tion teaches me that tho remody lays with the authorities who grant those charters, It is well known by all railroad mon and the travelling public that accidents and deten- tions are more frequent on single track railroads than on double, Tho single tracksare obliged to have many switches to accommodate the trains, which are generally attended by cheap, worthless and reckless employés. These persons are very often inattentive in guarding and regulating the switches for the expected trains, and by so neglecting their duties one-half or more of the accidents occur in consequence of the engine jumping the switch if not in its place. When railroads have a double track the most of those switches could be dispensed with, and those needed for the purpose of trains could be pane secured, amd not endanger the train by tho switchmen playing cards or being aslecep when tho trains aro about passing. have known switch- men to neglect this duty several times. If the compa- nics wore obliged, when their charters aro granted, to have @ double track laid within a reasonable time, or to forfeit this charter, it would have the effect of doing away with looso and badly guarded switchos, and more than half the accidents and detentions caused by thom would be prevented. Companies have their attention more closely confined to the profits of the road than they have to its safety and the safety of the public. Now, the effect ial remedy to.all this lays in the Legisla- tures of each Stato, The first I would su; is if any member accepts a free ticket of rail companies, he should bo indicted for receiving a direct bribe, and the company indicted for offering it, It should also be made ‘a penal offence for offering or receiving it. ‘he second remedy is that every ite should amend the charters of railroad companies and oblige them to build a double track on tho entire line of their roads, in a specified time, and use their surplus accumulative capi- tal in finishing it, thereby facilitating and accommodating Fer ae a Gis Ravond irom Baltimore to Washing: Baltimore an¢ lo im 4 ton.
