FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ° Sunpar, Feb. 19, 1865. The past wock has witnessed @ dull and drooping mar- kot for gold and railway stocks, but an active one for government sccurit es, which are steadily rising in popu- Jar favor, both at home and abroad, with the progress of | tho natioual arms. Speculation in the gold room and on the Stock Exchange has been tamed almost into swgnation by the favorable aspect of affairs. 4 very lose sympathy exists betwocn gold and railway stocks, and, as the legitimate demund for the former for customs duties and export has diminished to a merely nominal s:m, in comparison with what it was a fow months ago, a strong support to tho premium has been withdrawn. This is, of course, attrb-table to our unusually large export and light import trade for some time past, the effect of which is greatly aided by the revival of confidence in the nations! credit among the poople in consequence of military successes. Th. uncertainty attend ng reilway and othor stock values is diverting capital hitherto Invested in them into gov erninent :couritios, andthe maton is thus becoming the favorite borrower, The ptions to the seven thirty loan last week, for instance, amountod to $26,500,000; but we again warn Congress and the Treasury not to be led | away by a the same only Leavy taxation and good fiscal ananagemont can save us from ulliimate disaster. ‘Tho course of gold during the week vas ag follows;— falso sense of seeurity because of all this, for Tho quotations for government securities and railway and miscollaneous shares at the Stock Exchange in this city at tho closo of each of the last four weeks were as follows:— Stocks.

Toso arrange the disbursements as to provide punetually for the payment of the interest and Seoeany thoredemption of the principal of the debt as they may fall duo is of the first importance, and cannot be done with- ont classification, foresight and carefully prepared esti- tates and returns; and this is especially dificult in our case, owing to the needlessly complicated rs menace us iu the future as before, and | might be established Process of gradually con- tracting the currency, and placing the amount eo with- drawn from circulation to the credit of the fund But in the presont condition of our | fimances it is useless to hope for anything | from this source for long time tocome. Tho indi- | cations favor further inflation of the currency, while | with regard to the continued daily increase of tho national debt there can be no possible doubt, considering | that our expenditures are now three millions a day, and our revenue, even estimating it by the unusually large | receipts for January, only thirty-one mitlions per month. All attempts in other countries to founda sinking fund while the expenditures exceed the income have proved abortive; and there is no reason for supposing that United States would constitute an cxeeption to the rule. The experience of the sinking fund in Great Brita has shown the hopelessness of reducing the public dobt by any euch medium. ‘This fund was in existence in some shape or other from tho time of the e:tublishment of the Bank of England, in 1692; but by William Pitt's celebrated act called the “Sinking Fund act,” passed in 1786, a now plan was adopted for tts management. A specifie sum, being actual surplus revenue, with its accrcing and accumulating interest, was annually to be | appropriated out of the revenue-to the reduction of the debt, which, being at-that time lees than half of its pre- sent amount, tho plan proved for somo time to a certain extent answerable to the design, But with the first French war it ceased to be available for the intended pur- pose, And this project was therefore adopted for the sake of at lcaet keeping up the appearance of reducing the dobt, and in 1802 the First Lord of the Treasury (Mr. Addington) {utroduced’ a scheme, effectuated by an act. of Parliament (42 George, IIL, 0. 71), which authorized the application of a certain pro- portion of every loan beyond what was required periodically for the publié s:rvice to the purchase of stock or annuities, by the accumulating interest of which the national debt was to be extinguished in forty-five years, But, notwithstanding this saplent device, the forty-five years passed away, and the national debt was larger than before. ‘Yet faith in the mistaken ides of extinguishing a debt by borrowing money was not lost, and the delusive name of @ sinking fund was still clang to, By an act passed in the reign of George IV. (4 George IV.. 0. 19) five’ millions out of amy acccriing surplus revenue were to be devoted to the sinking'fuhd; but no such surplus being realized, by another act (0 George IV., c. 90) this amount of surplus was’ to be diminished to three mitlions, which, also entirely failing, it was settled by a still later act (10 George IV., c. 27) that the money to be so made use of was to be one-fourth clear surplus of the annual revenue beyond the expen- diture, But after the year 1837 the ex, ture greatly exceeded the income, and Parliament, instead of keeping the sinking fund of former years untouched, actually passed acts authorizing large abstractions from it, and consequently tending to its annihilation; and tho debt went on increasing, and it now amounts to mote than £790,000,000, or not far from $4,000,000,000! ‘We have stated these facts in elucidation of a subject with which Congress is confeasedly unacquainted ; and as measures for providing a sinking fund are being urged upon Congress just now, it is well that the history of the system in England should be prominent- ly before it, both as a warniag and a guide, We shall take occasion hereafter to comment morefully upon the theme, and meanwhile suggest that whatever mea- sures relating toa sinking fund may be adppted should be prospective in their application, as the attempt to create one in the immediate future would be certain of failure. It will be, however, for the now Secretary of tho Treasury to endeavor to mould our public debt into ‘a consistent shape, and Introduce those methods of con- solidation and division which only a mind gifted with powers of combination and accustomed to generalizing can successfully undertake. ‘The following stocks and bonds were sold on Monday last by Albert H.
