New York closed 3< lower than at the second board yesterday, Erie 13¢, Hudson river 34, Reading %, Michigan Southern %, Cleveland and Pittsburg 34, Northwestern 1, Rock Island %, Fort Wayne 134, Obio and Missizsippl certificates X, Quicksilver 3%. Government securities manifested a downward tendeucy, Coupon five-twenties were 3¢ lower, new issue 3g. One year certificates of the new issuc sold at 9834. At the open board at one o'clock there were oniy fractional variations from the first board prices. At the seoond regular board the market was dull and barely steady. Erie closed 34 higher than at the morning session. New York Central was un- changed. Reading was % lower, Michigan Southern %, Cleveland ‘and Pittsburg 14, Northwestern \, Rock Isiand %, Fort Wayne 3, Cumberland %. Government securities were heavy. Coupon , five- twenties of the old issue doclined 3%, buf the mew issue was steady. One year certificates of the new issue sold at 98, a decline of 34. At the open board at half-past three the market was dull, but steady. New York Ceatral closed at 98%, Erie 81, Hudson River | 107, Reading 99%, Michigan Southern 62%, Lilivois | Central 12534, Cleveland and Pittaburg 6634, Rock Island | 105%, Atlantic Steamship Company 163, Cumberland 40%, Quicksilver 5534. ‘The provailing fear of a more active money market is | inducing sules to realize, and deterring operators from | venturing upon fresh purci s. There is more hesl- | tation obgervubie on the part of lenders make loans at inst week's rates, and seven per cent has been paid in many cases upon railway collaterals, although the more gepeval rate is 6 a6 por cent, and the supply of capital is stil! in excess of the demand. The apprehensions of stringency are not warranted by the condition of affairs, although the de- | mand will, in all probability, be more active in Proportion to the supply for some little time to come than it has been of late. The balance Of the seven-thirty toan it is likely will be absorbed by the agents of Mr. Jey Cooke within the noxt ten days, but this will not occasion, any disturbance in monetary channels at the fuancial centres. It was stated yester- day that only about fifty millions of the notes remained | to be disposed of, in which case a large amount, say about | thirty millions, must have been disbursed in payment of army officers and others, and this supposition is strongthened by the number of the former offering the | notes for sale at the brokers’ offices in Wall street A contemporary writer challenges our statement with regard to the three hundred and twenty millions of re- quisitions upon the Secretary of the Treasury for army pay, and absurdly enough argues upon tho basis of an army of six hundred thousand men, apparently forgetting ‘that the army was very recently much larger. The re- quisitions in question we have reason to believe have, by this time, been made upon the Treasury. ‘The writer referred to is irnorant enough to suppose that we spoke of “an issue’ of unpaid requisitions, whereas we pointed only to the probability of a large issue of cer- tifleates of indebtedness, our allusion to the accumula- tion-of unpaid requisitions or a forced loan being sepa- rate and jividental. The words ‘and a forced loan” should have read “or a forced loan." The Secretary of tho Treasury, it is true, has no authority from Congress to make such, but it may possibly be resorted to in pre- ferencs to the indefinite increase of certificates of in- debtedness, ‘The discount Jine is dull, but rates tend towards greater firmness, First class commercial paper passes at 634 a8 per cent, and that of the next grade at 809. The gold market is strong but inac nd the supply of cash is less abondant, Loans were made flat in the morning, but commanded 1-32 m the afiernoon. The opening price was 143, from which it advanced steadily to 143% a 14334, at which it stood at half-past five. The demand for foreign exchange has been light, and the market consequ ntly very dull, Prime bankers’ bills were sold as low ns 108%% on the street, but the general Fate asked by leading drawers was 109 at sixty days, Mercantile bills wore quoted at 1074 a 108, ‘The azgregate value of the exports, exclusive of specie, | from this port for the week ending July 18 was $2,847,757. ‘Tho business at the Sub-Treasury. to-day was as fol- lows :— | Receipts for customs. $490,000 | Total receipts, 6,176,275 Payments 7,817,403 | Balance. ‘ 50,159,275 | Subscr ptions to government loa: i 87.000 | The Boston Traveller of tho 17th thus refers to mone tary affairs :— ‘The money market ts not essentially changed, although fn little firmer to-day than it was last week on account of the larce subscriptions to the popular loan, and the pros- tof its betug ali taken within two or throe weeks, e demand for loans on the b st collateral security is more active, and the lowest rate of interest at the bank fs six percent on call, but in tho street a few choice transact ons have be n made at five, strictly on demand, Discounts of first class paper were made this forenoon in the open market at seven and a harf and eight per cent. ‘Tho stock dealin.# are without any important chances, Tho demand for dividend paying shares and bonds is just about larce enough to absorb the floating lots that are put ‘on the magket, The Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad earned for the | fecond week in July:— 1866. 1864...

The Emperor and Empress returned to this city on the 20th inst., amid extraordinary domonstrations of affvc- tion and respect, and with all the pomp usqally displayed when our sovereigns show themselves in public. Maxi- milian has now made two excursions into the interior provinces of his empire—ono last fall, soon after his tak- ing possession of his imperial position, and the present, which has extended from the middle of April until now. On the first occasion he was accompanied by Carlotta. ‘They went 3 far as Guanajuata, and took the worst part of the year for the trip, when the roads were in horrible condition, owing to the incessant rains. Recently the Empress went down to Puebla, and returned with her liege lord. A numerous and gaily caparisoned cavalcade escorted them in, and the houses along their route, from the Garita de San Lazaro to the Plaza, were decorated with flaxs and other welcoming tokens. L'Bstafette, re- ferring to this trip, says:— Tho return of his Majesty was greatly needed. If travelling is useful for princes, the prolonged absence of the head of the government always causes grave incon- veniences to the people. Under a personal government like that of Mexico, where nothing important can be decided without the direct interposition of his absence paralyses or retards the exect amount of business requiring his presence. Maximilian has visited allthe eastern portion of his empire in this tour, and has travelled with bis eyoa open. It is stated that he intends to set in motion with reneaved energy his plans for colonizing the fertile districts of Origaba, Cordova, Jalapa, and the Huasteca win immi grants from Europe and Amorica. DR, GWIN RECEIVRS THR COUP DE GRACE. Poor Dr. Gwin has drained bis cup of bitterness to the drega. As I wrote you a few weeks since, the itinerant ex-Senator arrived here carly in May for the second time, intent on persuading Maximilian to let him tako Sonora and colonize it with Southerners—he assuming the title of “Duke of Sonora,” under the empire. The first time he undoubtedly did have some authorization from Napoleon, but that was when Uncle Sam's affairs looked rather dusty; but when Gwin made ‘a second application to the French Emperor, it was after Sherman's successes had put a new face on the matter, and the expeetant Doctor, if received at all by Napoleon, was met with a well-bred stare. In short he and his wild goose Sonora scheme was “sent to Coventry” most po pp ye Bluffed in Paris he hastened hither again, and a few days since had the mortification to see in the columns of the Diario det Imperio, tho official journal here, a notice to the effect that neither Gwin nor his project are recognized by the government, and that his sojourn in Mexico has no political significance whatov ‘The article also calls to mind the oath taken by Maxi- milian at Miramar—that he would defend the intogrity of the national territory. What our venerable secession ent contemplates doing after this rebuff is not ad [certainly aimed h'gh, and in losing he loses his stake, MAXIMILIAN’S MONROF DOCTRINE. The special sign'ficance of this is that by it Maximilian asserts a Monroe doctrine of his own for Mexico not less positive than that of our fifth President in 1823, but with this difference—that while Mr. Monroe intended his doc- trino to apply to the then existing pos tion of the Spanish American colonies asserting their independence from the mother country, and inteuded only to npply to those particular circumstances, Maximilian, in his Monroe doctrine, has taken his oath to preserve the Mexican terntory intact, wishing neither to soll any part of it or add to it by purchase or conquest. And this dotermina- tion not to alienate any portion of lis empire, nor to al- low it to be oceupied by any but Mexican authoriti includes even France, Witness the cruelly cold shoulder he has given to poor Gwin, despite the original semi- official character given to ‘his mission be the Emperor Napoleon. THR LATE WLITARY MOVEMENTS. The successes of the imperialists in Sonora and Nueva Leon, within the last four weeks, have been marked and com Besides the signal victory gained by Garnier atthe Cafion de la Pasion, some leagues inland from Guaymas, over abovt ton time: his number of Juaristas, and which wero fully described in my last, there are ru: mors of othe ais sustained by the republicans, such as are gradually bringing. their sinking cause to the round. In Michoacan, however, the Juarist Generals Rizgutes and Ronda have had several iiaportant successes. STFAMSUIPS, RAILROADS AND TRLEGRAPHS UNDER THE NEW REGIME, The Emperor has lately made several important con- cessions to Americans—among them one to a Mr, Clute, of Texas, conferring sume interior telegraph privileges of great value, These connect Vera Cruz and Matamo- Tos, Guanajuata and Matamoros, and San Luis and Du- rango. Another line from California to the city of Mex- ico, passing along the coast through Guaymas, Tepic, Guadalajara and other important and populous cities, is about to be granted to cortain New York telo- graph capitalists, who have been several months in treaty for it. These persons being proprietors in the overland telegraph, extending from San Francisco to Los Angoles, intend to make this @ continuation of their pre- sent system of wires. One of the most valuable privileges yet accorded is that granting the exclusive right toa Franco. Mexican company for steamships on the Atlantic side of the empire. It connects all the Gulf with Vera Cruz asthe centering point, and two ines run between that port and New Urleans and Havana, Ita a very extensive ; among them the ex- clusive it exclusive letter carriage and the carrying of troops, nitions, Tho ats Mr, Gantherin, 3 York arranging for his bonts for the Curiosity is on tiptoe here for the inauguration of the strect railroad system for this capital, for which an_ex- clusive privileze has lately b.en ted to a New York company by the municipality of the city, and and endorsed by ee hanw pony Its prices of fare are un- poe ed - call it oneof [opt ni ivi- os ever grant government L many nd) now not bo rom we Bundred and fifty thou- sand inhabitants, and is Increasi population, | as it depletes ite ae een of the nelghboring oltien, | Whence many rich families are now as perma nent residents to the capital. fel arrived here when Mexico was ruled by a ident, is in a similar tino is maintained, and rity to do continual acts otherwise, 0 Ancien frained from displaying the gentlemen are most wide circle of friends discretion and | E i 8 t E fis: i £ Ri 8 A i : 2 & f E i i i s ise Fis ES fat Se 4 i Py as g & built to Mexico, ‘The practical schemes now in actual operation for the introduction of foreign lation into Mexico, when known and ful cannot but ohallenge admiration from all to throw aside unworthy prejudices, and can slightest interest in the amelioration and ‘pority of a people. It is a pity that none of the influential journals of the United States and England, save the have resident ts here, the better to to intelligent readers the animation which this man is everywhere infusing into Mexico. He neoma to radiate energy of cl it is well knowa, such is that fow of his ininisters can’ k« mands upon their time and attention.

OHANCYS O¥ THE PERMANNOT The true light in which to question should be whether tho empire is the govern- ment best fitted for the psace and ity of Mexico, not as to whother it conflicts with certa'n traditions which we feol like holding cn to because t! an existence. If the United States are existing order of iin in Mexico, and cold shoulder upon this government, the trie and most dignified course would be not to fly pettishly into the face of the emp re, but to quietly let such of its restless ulation as wish omigrate into Mexico. If Maximilian lacks the genius to act the wise and vigorous monarch, he will, by that time, have proved his incapacity, and his empiro will fall of its own weight into the hands of | the adventurous American people, provided they are | enough in love with Mexico to have immigrated in suffi- cient numbers. . MEXICO AND HER RESOURCES. | Now this is preciscly what Maximilian wants. His | policy is exactly the reverse of that of previous ralers ovor Mexico, whose Japanese exclusiveness and timidity shuddered at the {dea of Northern invaders as the certain forerunners of national destruction and subjugation. Convinced that the true key to the regeneration of Mexico consists in the infusion of new blood, new en- ergy, ambition, courage and enterprise into a people wasted with fruitless intestine wars, ho has thrown epen the country to the world and especially to the United States as a field for immigration and peaceful settlement. ‘With that view he has invited foreign invention, genius, enterprise and capital to an arena not surpassed, if equalled, in the world in all the ¢loments of wealth. ‘Those attributes of national prosperity have lain dormant for centuries, smothered under the exactions and monk- ish policy of the Church. It was useless to think of de- veloping national resources when no roads existed by which to get produco to market, and the ercction of @ large rural property was the signal for the pillage of its owners to support bloody and continuous wars, Mexico in the fast forty years has had so many ‘“Presidents”’ that the oldest inhabitant is not expected to know or enume- ratethom, Such a thing asa stable or responsiblo gov- ernment has not existed in reality since the separation from Spain until now. SYSTEM OF PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT. No wonder, under such a system, that the Moxicans fell into idle’ dissolute habits, and for the lack of the usual channels of industry, such as give employment to more fortunate peoples, took to plunder and highway robbery. Tocreate a valuable population you must make it au object for them to work. Show one of these moun- tain robbers that he can make money faster, safer and easier by industrial pursuits, and he will turn bis machcts into farming tools become a useful citizen. ‘This is illustrated on the great highway between Mexico and Vera Cruz, where hundreds of fetons who formerly lived by plunder are now contentedly at work repairing tho roads, receiving satisfactory wages, and practically won from the lives of cut-throat, THK MARCH OF IMPROVEMENT. On the same principle the Emperor is bending hia eu. orgies to throwing open the country, wherever practi. cable, by railroads penetrating the most valuable mineral and agricultural sections of the empire, Skilful eng - neers are planning highways to connect with these, sv that industrial populations will have every facility for sending produce to market. Steamship companies have beon formed and are now tinder way, on both sides of the continent, to form the neuclus of a commerce tor which few countries in the world offera more substantial basis, A line of telegraph connecting Mexico with tho United ftates is a of tlie great system of internal improvement. Colonization soci- eties, protected and fostered by the government, have been formed, and the first instalment of immigrants, doth from the United States and Ei , have arrived, and, being promptly furmshed with |, are already busily at work preparing for the extensive culture of cot- ton, tobacco sugar, These lands are not ip the sickly tierras calien‘e’, such as the fatal regions of Central Anterica, whero tho grave stones are the only ornaments of thoue ill guided colonies, but in the tierras t+ the elevated plateaus—sufficiently above the sea to se- cure health, and yot with all the elements of climate for the production of tropical staples. ARATIAN HORSES, ‘Tho Chassours d'Afrique, of whom a considerable body arrived here with the first instalment of French, brought with them an ample supply of genuine Arabian homes. The officers of these corps were particularly well mounted. Hard service has gradually reduced these superb ani- mals, so that comparatively few remain; and the cavalry are now mainly supplied with the native horses. 1’ 2a. tafette lately contained an advertisement offering for sale “quatre teaur chevaux Arabes,” which, I understand, a wealthy New Yorker here has eae intending to dis Play them next summer on the Park and at Newport and Saratoga. They are very beautiful, ‘and will ua- doubtedly attract much attention, AMERICAN MINERS INVITED TO MEXICO. The Emperor has recently reptied, through his Minister of Fomento, to the inquiries of American capitalists on- gaged in developing silver mines in Lower California, ary Sonora and Sinaloa, as to what protection would nted them in their particular branch of in- dustry. The reply is extremely liberal and encouraging to all persons desirous of engaging in mining enter- prises within the empire, promising the imperial protec- tion to such as obey the laws, let politics alone and at- tend to their legitimate business. Under this policy the remarkable developments of silver mines in Noi Mexico will coutinue and flourish, In Durango Lower California capital from the United States has been largely invested in silver mines with flattcring results, and probably some of the richest mines known in Mext- can history are among those recently reopened and now in successful operation in the vicinity of Cape St. Lucas, and in the States of Durango and Sinaloa, SILVER MINES OF LOWER CALIFORNIA, In Lower Calitorsin, at the districts of San Antonio, Cacacbila and San José important discoveries have boen and at the mining college in this city specimens of splendid ores from several famous mines in those vicinities beon added to the already extensive i i i i i a8e H iH | ait ‘ | | | LIRRRATION OF MR.

The government knows best, and must make a dread and just example to terrify all enemics to free govern- ment. Yet, after all this, an astempt has beon made by one Brophy, in Washington, to blacken my character. To silence ‘him and many other sympathizers with guilt, I deom it to present the following to the public. Let thom judge and decide fairly. Tam, sirs, very respectfully, your obodiont servant, LOUIS J. WEICHMANN. MR. WEICHMANN’S STATEMENT. The affidavit of John P. Brophy, of Washington, to the public, instead of being to me a matter of surprise and anger, has been one almost of daily expectation. To prove ite utter worthlessness, it is merely necessary to state that it was twico submitted to Judge Holt, and once to all the members of the court, and to President Johnson him- self, before the execution of Mrs. Surratt, and that it had no offect whatever. Col. Burnett himself banded me the el almost ter days before the trial was closed. They had been sent to him by some one who was afraid to affix his signature thereto. I laughed at them then, since they were ridiculous; and I now pronounce the statement, 80 extensively copied in various papers, a tiasue of lies from beginning to end. It puzzles me much to know why those monstrous charges were not brought out on the witness stand by the learned counsel, Aiken, and his worthy associate, Clampitt, who are in close communion with ‘Brophy. e case had not been closed whon L read them. Iwas then, and am now, pftepared to answer all such charges. Brophy himself was summoned twice, onc? for the defence and once for the prosecution; but according to his own wishes he never appeared on the stand. I had him and a dozen reliable gentlemanly witnesses called to prove my character, against which he dares not say one word. It was only after a very tearful protestation on his part that “his poor old mother would cry, herself to death if sho saw bis name inthe papers in connection with this trial,” that I sent a note into the court room to Colonel Burnett to release him, and he at once acceded to his wishes. r old mothor” had, cons:quently, no reason to shed tears. I never visited President Johnaon, nover wrote a letter to him, and don’t believe tuat Mrs. Surratt was an innocent woman. Tho expression about Judge Holt is an infamous lie. Brophy accuses me of disloyalty. I would hore say that no person throughout the whole trial had his good character so fully vouched for asf have. It is beyond proach, either as regards loyalty, veracity, or morality, rophy had better clear his own shoes first. He is an alion, has never been naturalized, and has not taken tho oath of allegiance to the government which he attempts to assail in the on of its chief witness, A vory prevalent rumor, too, has gained ground that I was placed in irons and maltreated and threatened by the Secretary of War. This is another error. The War De- partment had all the information which T possessed on the morning of the 16th of April. It was given frocly and without compulsion. The government, too, furnished me with money and transportation to goto Canada in pursuit of John H. Surratt. Throughout the trial the treatment which lop aes ‘at the bands of the Secretary of War, Judges Holt, Bur- nett aud Bing! ‘and the members of the court, was very marked ind and courteous. As regards my testimony I have nothing to He Ha Conscious of my integrity and of my desire to do right to all, I stand to-day in the pure light of heaven without one sin on my,soul to answer for as regards the trial of the conspirators, Far from considering ita diagrace to have been a gov- ernment witness, I can only esteem it an honor that I have been of so much assistance in ferreting oat the dia- bolical schemes of traitors and conspirators. I am pained only because of one thing—viz.: that I have been deceived so much in Mrs, Surratt and her son. Much bas been said and much has boen written about Mrs, Surratt’s innocence. Sensation paragraphs are being scattered throughout the covntry, ridiculing our own times, accusing us of a want of deference and respect to the female sex, and recalling us to the days of knight- errantry, when woman was respected “itt —s and camp, and tourney, and banquet hall.” Tho United States government itself is assailed, and charged with having murdered an innocent woman. That a woman #0 kind, so compassionate, so generous and go religious, should havo becn cognizant of plots to. capture or assassinate the President of the United States is iy to be Believed. Yet it is strangely true, ‘Hor own actions and words, for weeks prior to the assaasina- tion, and even on the 14th of April itself, leave vory Little doubt in my mind but that she was guilty. But guilty to what extent I do not know. She may possibly have been cognizant only of the capture and of the partics concerned in it. Yot even that deserved death. [t was treasonable and criminal to lay hands on the of tho President in ald of the enemy, and as such it ought to be punished. ‘Mrs, Surratt isto be much blamed. She should have * exercised a woman’s influence and a mother's love, and then she could have prevented ali. But no; she was too infatuated, She loved the South too much. None can her untimely end more than I; yet none can detest her crimes more than I do. Particles of grennomerrin ee were once intended to blind me, and which @ certain ait of mystery about them, now come back in their dread reality with a peculiar and an awful signiticance. Before the 4th of March Mrs. Surratt was pear Semen to every- body that something was going to happen to *‘Old Abe” which would prevent him from taking his seat, because Genoral Lee was going “to make a movement which would startle the ie world."’ This appeared in the papers, and no notice was taken of it, The 4th of March came and went. President Lincoln was tnaugurated, but General Lee did not execute bis “movement.” What that ‘movement’? was I do not know. short time after I asked her why Jobn brought such men as Haroid and Atzerott into the house. ‘‘Oh, John wishes to make use of them for his dirty work,” was her reply. 1 th asked hor what the “dirty work” was?
