FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. S:rumpay, March 4—6P. M. Wall stroot has been almost deserted to-day,. and there bas boon an alvbeay total cessation of active business. Most of the breeds’ offices were closed, and a group of gold operators in William street and Gilpin’s room lone represented the speculative interest. Both the stock boards as well as the gold room being closed, there was no martket-for stocks, although a few of the frequenters of the room adjoining the regular board gathered there fm the forenoon and made quotations, which showed @ Very tame speculative feeling.

There was only a nominal amount of business trans- acted at the banks, aud nothing was done ju foreign ex- change. The President's inaugural address fai.od to produce any perceptible effect upon the course of opinion in financial circles, It was expected that some predictions would bavexbeon confidently hazarded in the address, and that its tone would have been more decidedly congratulatory and sanguine. But while, “with high hope for the future, Bo pr.diction in regard to it is ventured,” the calm but stern determination which is conveyed in the Presideut's words indicates his consciousness of the uu! fon’s strength and the steady, unflinching purpose he has in \tew. We note in the closing proceedings of Congress that ‘the tax on sales, which was adopted by the Senate, was afterwards stricken out of the Amendatory Tax bill. The tax of ton per cent on the circulation of State banks was #0 amended as to take effect from the Ist of July, 1866. A tax of one-half of one per cent on savings banks’ de- posits was passed, to take effect from tho Ist of May next. The crude petroleuin tax was fixed at one dollar per barrel. “The proposed tax on cotton was abandoned. ‘The tax on cigars woe fixed at ton doliars per thousand, without regard to quwiity. ‘Tho Dill repeating that section of the act providing for the purchase of cotton and other Southern produce beyond tho military lines, by ir:asury agents, on govern- ment account, bag b en vetoed by the President, and not injudiciously. Tho repeal was granted without inquiry or proper consideration, Tho President of the: Cumberland Coal Company has made tho following official statement of the salo of the company’s Slope Mine for $617,000, which is a sum suff cient to pay off lis bonded indebtedness and leave a sur- plus. Tho high price at which the company’s preferred stock is now selling, however, is not warranted by its affairs, and is due to speculative influences. The common stock has long been entirely out of the market and is without price — Orvics or THR CuMBHALAND Coat AND TRON ComPANy, New Youk, March 3, 1865. Dean Sik—In reply to yours, making inquiries as to the sale of tho Slope Mine, I have to state that at a meet- ing of the Hoard of Directors, held on tho Ist inst., the contract embracing the terias Of sale was approved, and yesterday I signed the same and affixed the seal of the thereto, it haying been previously signed by the purchaser, ‘The traot of land sold contains about 600 acres. The whole estate of this company embraces 9,000 acres, of which about 6,000 acres contain the great coal vein. ‘The purchaser pays to the company $617,000, which was the whole amount of its debt in June lngt when the negotiation was commenced; but by the operation of the sinking fund $26,000 of the debt has since been paid by the company, The purchase w ll, therefore, liqu.date the whole debt of the company and T’ave $26,000 cash in its treasury, in addition to the working capital already on ait ‘An important feature of this sale is the transportation ‘contract, by which the purchaser agrees to transport upon our railroad all the coal mined from the lands sold and from the Wright farm adjoining said lands, and to pay therefor rates which wiil handsomely remunerate this company for the use ef its railroad. The amount tg be paid for interest and sinking fund during the prozent year would be about $80,000. By this salo the curipany is at once relieved from this obligation. The domand for Cumberland coal is increasing, and, if wo have no interruption to canal navigation by raids, we look for favorable rosulis during the present year. Yours, respestfully, ALLAN CAMPBELL, President, The IMinois Central Railway Company has just beon Telioved by Congress from fulfiling tho conditions of its ontract with the government in 1861 for transportation services. The right of converting the old seven-thirty notes Into six per cent bends ceases on the 10th iust., together with interest on the same, the notice given according to the act under which they were issued oxpiring of that day. The statement of the First National Bank for the month ending February 28, 1865, published in accord- ance with the thirty-fourth section of the National Cur- rency act, shows that the bank holds a reserve of thirty per cent of its capital in lawful money, or five per cent more than is required by the act. The great prosperity of the leading: national banks indicates the substantial advantages they enjoy ovor those under the old syst:m, ‘and suggests the advisability of Congress curtailing their privileges at some futuro day by oxtra taxation, which latter at present falls very lightly upon them. The figures of the statement are:— ‘Avorage amount of loans and discounts. .. $6,209,106 28 ‘Average amount of «pec v end legal tenders 2,700,904 00 ‘Average amount of depus ts... 9,020,698 73 Average amount of circulation. 277,300 00 ‘The busin°es at the Sub-Treasury to-day was as fol- lows :— Rec ‘ipts for customs. Total receipts. Subscriptions A more hopeless abyss than that into which the rebel finances have fallen it would be difficult to imagine. Ac- cording to the last accounts from Richmond gold was selling at the rate of one to between fifty-five and sixty in currency, and it is represented by the press there that but for the sales of specie made by the rebel government below the market price, the premium would be much higher. The requirements of the rebels, as estimated in the report of their Secretary of the Treasury, dated Decomber 7, 1864, for the fiscal year of 1865, are $1,056,000,000, and they are at their wit’s end to raise the necessary money, for not only are they in need of this amount, but nearly twice as much, owing to the Gopreciation of the currency. In order tw provide it they are naturally driven to the necessity of recommending desperate measures. Thus, the ¥ nance Committee of the House of Representa- tives advise a tax of ten per cent oa the property of the rebel States, cstimated to aimoint lo $3,000,000,000. This would give $300,000,000. lu ad- dition to which they advise @ tax on incomes, trades, profesaions, &c., estimated to yield $150,000,000, and they allow $140,000,000 as the probable sum to be de- rived from the tax in kind. This makes an aggregate of only $690,000,000, leaving a deficit of $46,000,000, which they propose to supply from the following sources First, from the sale of six per cent untaxable bonds; second, from loans on call certificates and use of deposits in new offices of depor't to be created by law; third, from the sale of cotton on band owned by the government for specie or foreign bills. It is very obvions, however, that these means will fail. The rebels Lave li:tJe or no cotton which they are ina position to sell, nnd the sale of their bonds will be about as difficult as negotiation“of loans under tho third article. Their finances have lost their legitimate character, and are entirely dependent upon extraordinary mensutes, which can only succeed in any dogroe by the force of a military despotism. Virtually, indeed, the monetary Oourse of the government at Richmond |s a reid upon the property of privave persons, and payment by promise after the Micawbor fasion, It nevertheless conveysa solemn warning, by which it is not too late for us to profit. oo The French Legislature.

THE RENT QUESTION. The Want of Houses and » Remedy— The Crowds in Town—Troubles of the People. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. My attention was attracted to anarticle in your edition of yesterday, which, I think, ts not characteristic of that oulightenm:at and duo attention to facts which usually appear in your news columns. 1 regret that the writer should, in the chamber of his imagination, harbor the idea that, in such an enlightened, country, one lote a despotism exists; more particularly that he should etig- matize our real estate owners with such an appellation. ‘That the “May moving”’ in this city is deplored by many a family ts beyond peradventure; but thas it is caused by an unfortunate habit or system peculiar to the Em- pire City rather than by an extortionate demand from the landlord is equally true. That the landlord this year “hus put town his foot and put up bis prices to such an astonishing altitude’ will not be borne out by 4 proper examination of the question, All things are regulated by the law of supply, domand and applicability. No oneof experience In real estate matters cam be ignorant of the fact that there are probably ten thousand families in this city who will be unable to obtain from May next. such homes as they have been accustomed to, This somewhat re- markable scarcity is owing, om the ono hand, tothe cnor- mous influx of families from rebel States who have made NewYork their goai,and who have invested.a portion of whatever they could secure from “the wreck”’ ina New York dwelling; and, on the other hand, from the almost total suspension of building operations since the com- mencement ofthe war, caused by the apparent advance in labor and materials, Gencrally speaking, real estate ts the first and last thing to move, and 6o,Jong as a dwelling can be purchased at present prices—which are in many instances barely sufficient to pay the present rates of ina, terial and labor, leaving out of tho question the value of the land altogether—there exists but a poor induc: mont either for capitalists or builders to move in the direction 80 urgently needed, and to which you ably draw ‘at- tention. One word with regard to rents. ‘As ageneral rule, this season, the rates are in currency double the specie asis of 1862—tho lowest rental point touched during o period of seven years. Comparatively and intrinsically the owner is not so well remunerated now as he was then; and in proportion to other commodities the adyance is not 80 great. There is probably no class of men who have suffored more since the commencement of the war up to the pre- sent time than real estate owners, and this is equally the case in times of commercial depression. ‘Thia has mainly been caused by those at the head of eur financial affairs, who, unfortunately, commenced and still persist in the policy that the “promises to pay”’ issued by one of the strongest governments on the face of the earth are not worth their face, notwithstanding the devoted confidence and knowledge of the people in the ability of the country to redeem the last dollar of its indebtedness, and which will not bo rectified until a diametrically oppo- site policy is adopted and carried out. When the ob- noxious clause of duties reccivable and intorest payable in gold is abandoned, and payment in the legal mouey of the country substituted therefor, then, and: not till then, will paper approximate to the standard of specie, and rents, like all elgo, find thelr natural level. STANLEY DAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE UKRALD. The present want of accommodation for the inereased population of New York is getting to bea matter for se- rious consideration. If we look among our. circle of acquaintances, Low many families we find in search of a home. Friends inquiring of friends, butallto uo pur- pose; for those that have possession of the houses preicr to retain them, even at the Increased rents, rather than run the risk of obtaining houseroom elsewhere, and also to prevent the inconvenience, annoyance and expense of moving to other quarters, and thus necessitating the out- lay for new carpeting and other items incident to inoving, It ts a well known fact that during the last four years comparatively few houees Lave been erected, owing to the high price of maicrials and labor. This, added to the natural and regular increase of the population of the city, accounts for its present crowded condition. New York requires house accommodation for small families, more particularly those of refined tastes and accustomed to move in the highor circles of society, who have hitherto been enabled to reside in fret class houses in good neighborhoods, but find their pro- sent incomes inadequate to keep up the same style at the increased rents. The difficuky of providing this accommodation lics in the fact that ground is held at such a high price that it does not prove remunerative to erect thercon houses of a small size. Now, there lies in, our hands a remedy for this difficulty, and it is & matter of surprise to me that our capitalists have not before this embarked in some such enterprise. We require the erection of houses somewhat on the Parisian plan. These should be located in various places in the up town portion of New York. ‘They should be planned to accommodate our mode of life, and not mo- delled after the Parisian pattern; each suite of apartments containing all the necessary convenlences for housekeeping. I have seen a very complete plan, prepared by Mr. Charles Duggin, architect, of this city, which contains all the requirements of a complete house. It is arranged to occupy fifty fect frontage and one hun- dred feet deep; two suits of apartments on each floor and four stories high; each suit of apartments contain- ing a parlor, library, two bedrooms, bath room, dining room, butler's pantry, kilchen, servants’ bedroom aud store room; all of the rooms having windows and abun- dance of closets, with two coal collars and two large store rooms in the basement apportioned to each suit; « front staircase for the occupants of tho building an! a back staircase for eervints and tradesm: Jno a huist- way froa e cellar to ihe roof; inthe basement are provided apariments for the howsekeepor, Such, fn rough, is whai ' required, ant what will ave to be pro- vided, The houses should be built in Fifth avenue, Mads gon avenue or other equally desirable localities, aud could be led with first class tenants at liigh!y remunerative rents.

TO THE EDITORS OF THE PUBLIC LEDGER. Diocese oy Puivapenrnts, CaTuznaal, Logan Square, PurLapetina, Feb. 27, 1865, You will oblige me by publishing the enclosed card from the Moat Revercnd J. B, Pureell, Archbishop of Cincinnati. It is an authoriiative declaration by that vencrable prelate of the relation of the Fenian Broth<r- hood to the Catholic Church. 1 take this op; n ty to state that the assertion, or instnuation, contained in the Universe of January 14, that a letter had been received from Rome, announcing the decision pomceming the Fenians in the words, “Feniani non suntinquietands”’ (the Fenians are not to be disturbed), is Lots a falschood and a forgery, no such lotier having been received, and no such decision made. What can we think of an association who aro so unscrupulous in b= choice of means to further their impracticable pro- jects? T am, gentlemen, most respectfully, servant, JAMES FREDERIC, Bishop of Philadelphia, 18 THE ARCHBISHOP OF CINCINNATI THE CHAMPION OF THE FENIANS? A CARD. 1. The undersigned, in order tecorrect present or fature misapprehension of his views on Fenianism, takes this oc- casion to refer to what he has said on this subject in pub- lic addresses in the Cathedral and in the St, Xavier's church, in this city, within the last twelve months. 2. Ue also desires to remind all whom it may concern that he tong since published in the Cincinnatl Catholie Teb-graph the constitution, by-laws and oath of sald socie- ty, attested and circulated Ly the lute Rev. E. O'Flaherty, proving said society to have been, st the time of the cir- culation of those documenis, an oath-bound secret 80- ciety, and as such to be shunned and avoided by every sincere and loyal Catholic. 8. Itis claiined that the oath is no longer en! and that the Fenian Brotherhood is therefore no longer Hable ve condemnation or disirust as an oath-bound s0- ciety. But this I regard simply as an evasion; for in the Precedings of the First National Convention of the ‘onian Brotherhood, held in Chicago, Mlinois, in 1863, and publisiied the same year by James Gibbons, Phila- deiphia, Tread what I ‘regard as an equivalent to the strongest kind of oath, the following pledge of member- hip:— your obedient ——-, solemnly pledge my sacred word of honor, as a hful and eh ua twill implicit} obey the com- mands of my superior ofiicers in the Fenian Brotherhood. 4. Furthermore, in the eightoenth resolution adopted in said convention, I read of the monstrous arbitrary power conferred on the head ceutre to confirm or annul tho election of all the State centres and centres of cir- cles, and that through this despotic, monarchical chief “alone shall the Brotherhood receive any Communication from any party whatsoever." 6. If this docs not constitute a supreme, irresponsible tribunal, and bind the members, hand and foot, to its beli I know not where such tribunal and such en- slavement can be found on earth. Finally, love Ireland, I desire ite independence, de- plore is tad fate for the last three hundred years, expe- cially wader the galling yoke of England’s injustice, in- humanity and tyranny; butI have no faith that the Fenian head centres or State centres could govern her if they bad the chance. On the contrary, I believe they would give her a worse constitution, and make her con- dition worse than it is at present. And I therefore con- jure every man who has any respect for my judgment ‘end advice to have nothing to do with the Fenians. #J. B. PURCELL, Archbishop of Cincinnati. The Pope’s Encyclical. PXTRACT FROM THH PASTORAL LETTER OF THR BISHOP OF BALTIMORE. To stretch the words of the Pontiff, evidently intended for the standpoint of European radicals and in/'dels, so aa to mako them ineludo the stato of things csiwbiisbed in this country by our noble constitution, in regard to the liberty of Conagience, of worship, and the prese, were manifestly unfair and unjust. Divided as we are ia reli- flous sentiment from the very origin of our government, our fathers acted most prudently aud wisely in adopting asian amendmeut to the constitution the organic law “that Congress shall make no law respecting tho establish. meut of religion, or probeibiting the free exercise thoreof. ” (Amend. 1) Ia fact, under the circumstances, they Gouldghave adopted no other covirse consistently with the prine ples and even with the very omistence of our newly catablished government. In ndopting this amendment they certainly did not jotend, like the European radicals, disciples of Tom Paine and of the French Revolution, to pronounce all re- Nigions, whether true or pales, extn before God, but on! to declare thew equal before the law; or, rather, s mpl; to lay down the sound and equithble principle that “the civil govern poutiest —— to ite ows ro te sphere tI juty, ledgod itnaf' not 00 tatortare ‘wit, felighous rniters, "witch Th rightly viewed as entirely without the bounds of ite com- wenay, The founders of our government were, thank neither latitudinarans nor infidels; ibey were earnest, honest men; and however much some of the may have been naked ta Pala ja the matter Foligton, or may bave tw religiows upinious, hey I i i eg i IE “Blt =f ie eels E tli rahe Lilt MH ape Ge Allwho are familiar with the course usually adopted by the Holy See, in condemn- ing thus in gioto whole sories of propositions extracted from the writings of suspected or authors, will ay or at @ glauce the equity and Justice of this .state- ment ‘Those who are so indignant at the plain speaking of of lr of their anger tor the inspived Apoatle of the Gentiles, who siigmatizes error anc vice with at least equal point ‘and bolun°ss, In the following passage he graph cally portrays the pernicious errors ‘and the glaring wicked- ness of these.very ‘‘ia-i days’ upon which we are 60 sadly fallen; every episbet in it isa picture drawar from life, and the whole is a word painting of marvellous: truth and’ power—prophocy revealing the mystery ofini- quity, “which is now working, to his eagle glanco, and ingp ration pointing his pen.” Know this. al t in the last days dangerous times aR keene Miki, te leat SOF" deteum bonatlul, ‘ty, blaaphemous, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, feds without affection, without peace, slanderers, incon- nt, cruel, unkind; traitors, headetro uted Up, and of pleasure more thab ot God; having, indeed, 8 of piety, but denying the power the learning and never attuining to the know! truth.

Every one of these salons has@ peculiar oharacter of itsown. Several of them haveonly lately been re- devorated and newly finished, and were used for the first time on this occasion. ‘The Prince, who is passionately fond of the fine has greatly added to the embellishments of the histori Palais Royal since his fathcr’s decease, The sculpture gallery contains busts and statutes of many mombers of the Bonaparte family at various ages. A bust of Prince Napoicon taken when he was three or four years old represents him as a child of extraordinary beauty. A fine group of three children perpetuates the outward semb! of Prince Jerome (the deceased brother of Prince Napoloon), the Princess Mathilde and Prince Napoleon himseif in their infancy. A statue of King Jerome’s wife bears a striking resemblace to Princess Mathilde at the present day. In the middle of this liery is & remarkable modcl of a Roman temple of the Greek school. One little room contal Dusts of Napoleon I. at various from 1780 to 1812; and also several chairs other articles of furniture taken from the roum in which he. was born at Ajaccio, in Corsica, in 1768. A delight¢éul soft carpeted gallery, used last night as a passage to the supper room, is lined on either side with well executed bronze busta of French celebrities—Voltaire, Molii-re, Racine, Boiicau, &c, On the walls of many of ‘the sans we recognize maay modern pictures purchased by Prince Napoleon; among these are M. Moreau’s “Aidipus and the Sphinx’’ in the exhibition of last year, M. Pils’ battle piece, representing Prince Napoleon leading his division at Alma, and some of M. Géromo’s startling nudities, Mille. Rachel must have been a favorite in the Palais Royal, for we see her physiogomy Leusaany repented in slatues, portraits and fancy pictures. The t portenit: ever made of Beranger—that by Ary Scheffer—adoros this choice gallery. The finest room of ali—the most preemie, room I ever saw in my life—is the billiard room. The one billiard table in the centre occupies but a small portion of the area. Luxurious sofas, arm chairs, and golid tables, disposod for comfort and conveni- one are studded around. On one of these tables I saw interesting albums, one of which was filled with drawings by the Princess Clothilde of the prettiest town, country and maritime sites in Italy, with descriptions of them in her own handwriting. An contains most amusing color prints of carnival fegtivi- ties fa Italy, This is & present from Price Humbert to his sister. A large folio contuins engravings represeat- ing the scenes witnessed by Prince Napoleom in his ex- cursion to the Northern seas. All the corps diplomatique, with the exception of the Pope's Nuncio and, as lam told, the Rui Ambassador, were present. ‘The Emperor and Empross arrived shortly after ten. They entered by a private staircase, at the {pot of which they were received by the Prince Napoleon and the Princvss Clotilde, who had theretofore remained in @ saion at the head of the grand staircase to greet their geste, ‘surrounded by what Emile de Girardin traly calls the aristocracy of literature, the fine arts, the indus- trial arts and commerce. The Empress, leaning on the arm of Prince Napoleon, led the way, as the imperial: family passed through the splendid act of galleries facing the gardens of tho Palais Royal. The Emperor, with tho Princess Clotilde, followed. The Princess Mathildo, es- by a gentieman whose name I did not learn, and afew members of the Court, closed the procession, for whose progress the crowd, unrepressed by chamberiains or ushers, readily made just sufficient way. The Empress, who looked better than the Pope’s New Year speech and recent reports of her health would infer, wore a dark green crape dress with one of those tunics, now so fashionable, resembling a train of diminu- tive proportions rounded at ite extremity. Thero was a petticoat of the samo color, with a flounce to match, The odg:s Of this potticoat and train were adorned with very pale blush roses. Beneath was another green satin skirt of great length behind, the folds of which must have been very ample. A zone of four rows of remark- ably fine diamonds encircled her Majesty's waist, It was fastened by a clasp in form resembling large and very elongated Icaf, The headdress, if not ‘8 faithfal imitation of what one secs on Greek statues, reseinbled it; and the coronet, which was something like an inverted crescent, was of green velvet, studded with diamonds, The pearl necklace, s0 olten worn at public balla, was replaced by a green ribbon tied in a bow at the back of the neck.
