FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIA Saronpay, June 1—6 P.M. ‘Tho stock market was rathog dull ag the open'ng ot tho frst board this morning; but ft soon became frm, and the tendency of quotations was upward, this being at the same time assisted by the advance in the goid premium. New York Centra! closed % higher than at the second board yesterday, Hudson River %, Read- ing %, Michigan Southern 14, Cleveland and Pittsburg %, Rock Island %, Fort Wayne %, Cumberland }{. Erie was unchanged. Government securities were steady, Coupon five-:wonties sold at 10334, new issue 108. The price of these bonds is kept down by the ungold parcels from Europe which aro still hanging over the market on limits.

The first of the bonds authorized by act of Congress to bo issued by the government to the Pacific Railroni, bave been delivered to the representatives of that section of it called the Central Pacific Railroad, of which the first forty miles bas just been completed, and the bonds are now oftered for sale in this city by Fisk & Hatch, the fiscal agents of the company. In order that the public may pot be misied with regard to these securities we quote the language of that portion of the act which has reference to them. It is entitled “An act to aid tm the construction of a railroad and telegraph line from the Missoun river to the Pacific ‘ocean, and to secure to the government the use of the same for postal, military and other purposes,” and it was approved July 1, 1862: Suc. 4 And be it further enacted, That whenever said company shall have completed forty consecutive miles of any portion of said railroad and telegraph line, ready for the service contemplated by this act, and supplied with all necessary drains, culverts, viaducts, crossings, sidings, bridges, turnouts, watoring places, depots, equip- ments, furniture and all other appurtenances of a first class railroad—the rails and all the other iron used in tho construction and equipment of said to bo American manufacture of the best quality—the President of the United States shall appoint three commissioners to examine tle same and report to him in relation thereto; and if it shall appear to him that forty consecutive iniles of said railroud and telegraph line have been completed and equipped in ail respects as required by tia act, then, upon certilicate of aa d commiseious to that effect, patents shall issue conveying the right and title to said lands to said Company, on each side of the road as far as the same is completed, to the amount aforesaid; and patents shall in like manner issue as each forty miles of said railroad and telegraph jine are completed, upon certificate of said commissioners, Any vacancies occurring in said board of commiss oners by death, resignation, or othorwtse, shall be filled by the President of the United States: Provi however, that no such comuissioners.shall be appointed by the President of the United States unless there shall be presented to him a statement, verified on oath by the president of said company, that such forty mies have been‘completed, in the manner required by this act, and setting (orth with certainty the points where such forty miles begin and where the sane end, which ath shall be taken before a judge of a court of record. ‘Bec. 6.

Its Present A ‘ance=-Desecration by Relic Hanters, dc. [From the Washi Chrontelo, June 10.) With a pleasant party of éxcursioniats, on tho Youn, America, we steamed eff from the wharf at the foot oi Seventh street, bound for Mount Vernon. The band of the Veteran Reserve corps, of twenty per- formers, struck up the famous Soldiers’ March from Faust, and the misty hills and verdurvus slopes of the sllvery Potomac echoed back the joyous strains. ‘The sweet, peaceful shores and hillsides thet arise in the blue purplish distances along the banks of this river of Washington have scarcely justice done to them in the past. They deserve to be far better known, and should and will be in the future of peace that is now upon ws. After a pleasant trip of about an hour and a half, passing the venerable old Fort Washington, we turned @ lovely bend of the river—which hore spreads out into a sort of lake-like expanse, enclosed in broezy hoadlands—and came in sight of the portico of the home of Washington. Tn a letter written by him to Oliver Wolcott, in 1797, he says:—To make and sell o little flour annually, to re- pair houses fast going to rein, to build one for the securi- ty of my papers of a public nature, and to amuse myself in agric .Jtural and rural pureu.ts, will constitute employ: ment for the fow years I have to remain on this terres- trial globe.” ‘Mount Vernon seems to bring ua nearer to Washington than anything we can read or hear of him. His stately presence haunts the spot like a glorious memory of the past. The house and grounds have been so often de- scribed, both by the pen and pencil, that everything about thom is as familiar to newspaper readers as any mere Uescription can hope to make them. In order that the sacred sad influences may be felt, however, the place must bo visited and seon. Tt was formerly the custom for all vessels passing Mount Vernon to toll their befls, u eavtom which, if it has fallen into desuctude (es seems to be the cas+), hould be custom more honored in the observance ‘Tovived; a than in the breach, There Is poetry in it.

He is everywhere. The house and two hundred acres of the ground now belong to the Ladies’ Mount Vernon Association, in whose behalf Edward Everett made so many noble addrcsses, and raised such a liberal sum. It has, all through the four years of civil war raging around it, boon a sacred neutral ground, if visited by national or rebel soldiers, equally respected by both, who stacked arms before tering the grounds and house. Mr. Herbert, who bas charge of the y for the Ladies’ Association, laments that they have no longer funds to keep the place in the condition and order which Sm ap taste demands. it they have no income with which to keep up the improvemonts, and depend altogether upom the small fee expected of visttors to make the necessary repairs and maintain the grounds in order. Under the ctrcamstances tt looks —_ ‘Well, though it is not what it should be, and could be made with » more liberal outlay.

These wrotches should remem- ber that thore ia not @ spot in the civilized world in which they can, without a blush of shame, oxhibit these of their infamy and vandalism. ‘Tha mania for relics seems to be a widespread mental disease of the present day, manifesting itself in the strangest, most fantastic and ofttimes reprehonsible ways. While the superintendent was speaking of thie subject the young lieutenant came to say that one of our excnrsionists ‘been sern to cut a piece off the bod- stead in the Come room, in which General Washington died, Being in the afternoon, the dimposs and ob- security prevented hiv being identified.

On Saturday the Stock Exchange was thrown into a state of indescribable agitation by the rumor of the assas- sination of Louis Napoleon. Telegrams to that effect were received simultaneously by several banking houss from Brussels and Frankfort, and the news was the more readily believed as accounts from Paris of the samo day announced @ heavy fal in the French rentes, for which no motive was assigned, while the daily bulletins from Algeria, which records the Emperor's movements and had hitherto boen regularly published in the Moniteur, was not forthcoming. Funds and securities of all kinds a several per cont, and tho panic was increasing, when a despatch from the Foreign Office was posted up stating that inquiries bad been made by tole- graph tn Paris which showed the report to be entirely without foundation, the telegram from Algiers, which had been delayed for a few hours, having just ar- rived, and reporting the Emperor to be in perfect health. ‘The whole affair was evidently a stockjobbing manonvre, by which some persons must have realized considerable sums, but which proves once more on how slight a thread hangs the peace of Europe, and the Immense monetary and commercial fabric depending upon it. Any impres- sive event may cause an instant collapse, and the over- grown edifice of speculation will topple dowa, spreading ruin and dosolation far and wide. It {s now sufficiently apparent that the duiness of the French Bourse, which rests on the monoy markets of the whole continent, is occasioned by the fear of compheations with the United States, growing out of tho il-timed Mexican expedition, The eucray displayed by President Johnson takes the European gov- ernments quite absck, and the tone of insult and con- tumely in which thoir organs so recently indulged in re- ference to Americaris exchanged for a graver tone of con- sternation. ‘We have gota new epidemic here," says the Paris correspondent of the Augsburg Gaset/e, ‘the American fever, which has seized upon all our statesmen and makes their courage ooze out at their fingers’ onda. ‘They have discovered that Mr. Andrew Johnson is likely to prove an ugly customer, and that it would be bost not to have anything to do with him; but, then, what will become of the prestige of France if she allows tho Mexi- can empire, tho grand creation of the impertal genius, a3 the inspired journals are wont to term it, to be overrun by American Alibusters, and blotted out of existence, with- out putiing forth her strength to avert 80 unwelcome a catestrophe? And, on the other hand, what will become of her influence in Europe if she is involved m a conflict with tho American republic, which, whether successful or not, must exhaust her resources and completely para- lyze her act.on in every other quarter?” The Krenz feitung 18 of opinion that the danger that menaces both ¥rance and England will induce them to make common cause again, as they did in the Crimean war, seoing that their interests are quite as much imperiled by the preponderance of the United States as they were by that of Russia, and probably a great dea! more. If, however, the American government should follow the maxim of only engaging one enemy at a time—to which Napoleon III. owes his former suc- cesses—and if thoy leave Canads alane for the present, while they direct their attention to Mexico, it secms doubtful whether England will precipitate a rupture by allying herself with a Power of whose conduct during the Russian and Danish wars she has some reason to complain, and whether she will not prefer to wnit till she is really attacked, especially as there is a larze and increasing party in England who are convinced that the soparation of Canada (and, in fact, of all the colonies) from the mother country is but a question of time, an that it would be folly to waste bi and treasure in en- deavoring to keep up, a connection which, in the nature of things, must be ultimately severed. So mech is certain, that tho terrific ordeal through which America has just R mares and tho development of the moral and material Fe gt air pe have produced the greatest political revolution that has oc- curred during this century, not excepting the fall of the first and the riso of the second Napoleon. They have transferred the centre of political wity from the Old World to the New, and raised up a Power which appears destined to overshadow all others. In every future com- plication it will not be asked, as horetofore, what will ‘vance, or England, or Russia’ do, but what will bo the attitude of the United States. Indeed, this is pretty mach the case already; ati European questions, Italian, Polish, Gorman, having becn thrust into the background by the one great problem of which we wait the solutton—how will America use tho enormous power now wielded by ber, ha what will be its effect. upon the destiny of the work The King of Prussia has returned from the Rhine, not dissatiafied, it is said, with bis reception, the utmost care having beon taken to surround him with well-aflected persons and to exclude everything that might give rise to hostile demonstrations, At Cologne, which ia the headquarters of the malcontents, he only stopped a cou- pe of hours to inaugurate statue erected to hia late ther, Frederick William the Third, which has afforded the Cologne papers an opportunity of reprinting the pro- clamation issued by that monarch on entoring into pos- session of tho Rhenish provinces, and in which he pro- mised them, among other things, never to levy taxes without the consent of the people. Of course he soon “remembered to forget’? his promise; notwithstanding which he has beon honored with the sirname of The Just. What would they have calied him if he had kept it?

These bonds wore issued under the sanction of an act of Congress of the Confederate States at the high price of 90. Every £100 bond was and is exchangeable for 4,000 bd @ of cotton six months after the signature of ce between the beiligerents.

There ia alao another reason the holders of these donds ought not to sacrifice them at present prices, viz:— that there are strong for believing that the Southern resources in this country will admit of another dividond and drawing being paid in eptember, which are together equivalent to the ¢ nominal value of the bonds. I therefore venture to hope that no one hold- ing these cotton bonds will be compelled to part with them at ponent prices, Already the cute Yankees are buying them. up, and it would not surprise mo to seo them treble their present valuo within six weeks from the present time, as at present prices £230,000 would buy up the whole debt. My object im writing is not to induce any one to buy these bouds, but to prevont those who unfortunately hold them from selling them.

Idon’t think the community would offer the slightest objection to a negro sub-prefect or a negro commi of police, Why should they? The negro is a French subject, and all Frenchmen are equal before the law. Thus, without civil disa- bilities, without the stigma of belonging to an abhorred and contemned race, one might im. agine that enfranchised Sambo would ha something for himself by thie time.

AN OUT DOOR CAVALRY DRILL exercise was. given some days ago by the graduating class. To-day the class gave an exhibition of its skill in equestrianism fn the riding ball. Leaving out the clown tw agreeably fill up the interstices with his quaint uttorances and pranks, there was a good deal of the breakneck excitement of a circus in the performance. As it was, two riders were thrown from their horses, but this was more tho fault of the horses than the riders, Leaping hurdles while on a sharp gallop, firing pistols at marks, and making sabre thrusts at the hoads of im- aginative men comprised the leading features of the prosrainme, A large number of visitors were present, and all were agreeably delighted.

THE GRADUATING Cass, The examination of the graduating class was finally brought toa termination this forenoon. For two weeks this class has passed through a most trying ordeal of questioning in all tho branches of study and drill em- braced in the academic course. Butall have stood the test most bravely, and have come out victors. It is generally conceded that no more satisfactory examina- tion has been passed by any class in several years. It will be understood that ail the drones and incapabies are apt to be weeded out before reaching so near the time of graduation. Getting thus far is virtually reaching the goal. I am told that none of this class is likely to have to undergo the humiliation of adding another year to his term of studies. Now that the examination is over, the exciting topic is the annual hop. The time of this closing terpsichorean festivity has not yet beon determined upon, but the general understanding is that it will take place on Saturday evening. Let it take place when it will, {t certainly will be a most magnificent affair. Already the hotels are be- coming more crowded, particularly with the female friends and relatives of the graduating class, in anticipa- tion of this event Meantime the diplomas will be distributed to the class, which will not be relieved from duty until after this term. It is reported that all will receive three months’ leave of absence.

The examination of the threo lower classes was com- tinued to-day, in accordance with the programme I sent yesterday, The subjects embraced in to-day’s examina- tion were phflosophy, mathematics and Frénch. Prompt- ness and correctness of repligs to the very thorough and rigid system of exaniination prevailing here must be taken as the standard by which to judge of the fidelity of teaching and degree of application of the students The highest grade of excelience has thus far been exhi- bited, showing full and broad comprehension of the varied studios, by which I mean not a terribly severe taxing of memory, but accurate understanding of the spirit of the different text books. Herein is the excellence of West Point—ite surpassing excellence over our American col- leges, The sume thoroughness and exactnoss is requisite in the recitation room as on drill. Ifonc has not the mea- tal capacity or application to come up to this high mark, and it is an established rule, from which there is no de- viation—off goes his head, and tho unfortunate decapi- tated must seck other channels to acquire permanent bread and butter and @ share of the world’s honors.
