Leading drawers, ers’ si however, “i 109 The mone Ket was very easy and loans at call wore made freely at six per cent, with exceptional trans- xclions at five and seven. This gives encouragement to the bull clique of Broad street, who, being heavily saddled with stocks, are anxious to buy more to buoy up the warket to sell ous on, With this view they talk prices up and circulate false and laughable ramors with gard to the Duke of Salamanca and other personages being . or prospective purchasers of the stock; also that the great speculative director of the road will have to purchase twenty thousand shares of the stock tw insure lis re-election, which, to the credit of the com- pany be it said, some ef his fellow directors intend to contest ut (he next election, which will not, however, tuke place till the end of October or the Ist of November next—the hot yet having been fixed, Meanwhile it is weil Kuown that it is mere clique movement which is now forward on the Stock Enchange, and that the present railroad competition between this city and the ateat highways of the West is ruinous to the stock- holders. Th» Atlantic and Great Western Railway Com- pany are new carrying freight from Cincinnati to New York over the Erie Railway, a distance of nine hundred Miles, for thirty-eight cents per hundred pounds, at which rate { the Erie Company $1 50 to earn $1. But very few, indeed, of the present buyers of stocks in Wall street care what their intrinsic value is, ‘The argnment in favor of an injunction restraining the Internal Revenue Collector from collecting the tax on stock and gold brokers’ sales made on their own account will take place before Judge Nelson, of the United States Circuit Court, to-morrow. Judge Nelson will, in all proba- bility, sustain his own decision by granting the Injanc- tion; for, if he did not, he would fail to sustain the dignity of the court over which he is one of the presiding members. Tf he does so the Internal Reveune Department will hardly dare to op- pose the injunction, and if it does the present Commis- aioner ought to be immediately displaced, A more cor- rapt and blundering set of instruments of power than the" present internal revenue officers of the United States has never been known in ths country, and the whole system of internal revenue collec- tion stands im urgent need of revision. While we think Judge Nelson’s decision was con- trary to the law, we acknowledge the onerousness and inequality of the law itself, and call upon the United ‘States Circuit Court by all means to sustain ity own decision, notwithstanding any appeal which the Internal Revenue Department may make to the Supreme Court tm the case of the United States vs. Fisk & Hatch and Vutting. The principle of law is here involved, and it ought to be and must be respected; and until the decision of the United States Circuit Court is over- ruled by the Supreme Court it constitutes a guiding rule of action for the government. For the latter to put itself in a position antagonistic to the judiciary would be as tinwise as it would be unsuccessful. It is with extreme satisfaction that we have toan nounce the overthrow of that speculative pesthouse, the Evening Exchange, the influence of which has been de- moralizing to thousands, At the first session of the Stock Exchange the board passed a resolution to the effect that any of is members who should attend or send orders to the Evening Exchange would thereby forfeit such membership, and at its second session the open board followed the example of the regular board, and passed the following similor resolution vy a vote of ninety-seven to seventeen :— Resolved, Th momber of tne opem board of stock brokers wie shall be present at or directly or inidi- reetly send orders to be ex: designated as the Evening Exchange shail cease U membor of this board. ‘This sudden and unexpected but saiatary action on the part of the Stock Exchange reflects great credit upon the whole body of stock brokers, and will do much to rais» their social reputation. The better portion of their num- ber were from the beginning strongly opposed to tho nightly orgies of the speculators who, in their greed of prostituted themselves at mammon’'s shrine, and sacrificed health, comfort, and in many cases morali under the excitement of aesperate ventures. The Even- ing Exchange had ite origin in the congregation that thronged the Fifth Avenue Hotel every evening in the early stages of the war, when the uncertainties attending it stimulated the love of gambling inherent in the hnman heart and spread depravity among a large multitude, It was then that tailors and barbers, and grocers and bar- keepers, and a host of vegabonds and others who had accumulated a little money, sallied forth into Wall street, and, under the leadership of the long since vanquished Morse, aspired to fortune. Very soon the hails of the hotel became overcrowded, and the proprietors expostu- lated. A miverable cellar underneath it was then rented by @ person, who charged twenty-five cents each for admission, and this detestable den—which might well be likened to “the black bole of Caicutta’’—was actually fre- quonted by the whole ‘strect,”* until they sickened of ft, and a large barn-room was opened on Broadway, near the corner of Twenty-third street, where a greater rush set in, attended by absurdly large nightly receipts. Then the leasee of the barroom erected a marble structure in Twenty-fourth street, and the nightly game was played there in like manner. Subscriptions were paid for seats, and the proprietor was on the point of organizing it into m joint stock company when the entire fabric happily crumbled to destruction. To this denonement the most respectabie members of the Stock Exchange say ‘Allah be praised.’ The wives and children of stock brokers will rejoice; and “with the ex- tinction of the Eveuing Exchange a horde of disreputable persons will be deprived of their accustomed excitement, The Evening Exchange, ax it recently stood, presented the appearance of a billiard and bar room, and did Injustice to the Stock Exchange of this great city. It gave it o reputation for vices which did not belong to the most reputable of ite members, and de- graded speculation into the worst form of gasmbling, It also led to other excesses, and gave inception to crime. Tt was, to sum up in & sentence, a disgrace to Wall street, to the city of New York and to Amer- ean civilization. It was ® spasmodic eruption which cannot be Hkened to any evening bourse in Europe or tho Sunday Bourse at Frankfort, in Germany, Decause it was composed of sporadic elements, which turned in the direction of rain whenever unsuccessful. Dissipation was its direct accompaniment and fraud its ‘not uncommon sequel. ‘The quotations for gold from the suspension to the ond of Jaly were: — com NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1865. 1863.——. ighest. ie. ia 1 154 143 153% = 148 —1865.—— 234 198 218 196% 201 1485 a.

Advice to Americans in Europe—Hotels in Paris—Prices of Rooms and Meals—‘‘Service”” and ‘Candles’ —Cost of Living at Restaurants—Cheap and Dear Dinners, de. Now that Americans are rushing over here in such swarms it has occurred to me that a little practical in. formation relative to the manner and cost of living in Paris might not be uninteresting to those who have not yet done so, but who are intending to join in the general hegira which seems to be taking place just at present from the United States to Evrope. Fifty thousand Ame- ricans are said to have passed through and Sojourned in Paris within the past four months; and steamer after steamer comes Indcn with ifs freight of health and pleasure, infermation and curiosity seekers from across the Atlantic. Never has there been such an influx of your countrymen and fair countrywomen in Europe as there is at present. Most of those who passed throngh Paris within the last three months are now disporting themselves at the summor resorts—the Newports, the ‘Saratogas and the White Mountains of Europe—climbing the snow-capped, heaven-reaching Alps, or steaming between the castle- crowned heights of the vine-hedged Rhine, drinking the chicken soup water of Wiesbaden or the invigorating draughts of Schwalbach Spa, Ems or Kissingen; attend- ing to the interests of their livers at Carlsbad, Vichy or Plombieres; bathing in the surf at Tronville, Fecamp, Dieppe or Boulogne, or astonishing native visitors with their rich ¢oilties and the liberal manuer in which they back their opinions upon the rouge et noir or roulelte tables of Baden, Homburg and Spa. Americans are not plentiful in Paris now, ‘for this is the out of town season; but as the cool weather comes on the tide will goon set backwards, end the inatal- ments of your countrymen and women which will be arriving here during the next six months will make longer stays in this king of cities, in this mu- nicipal Paradise, to which, as Emerson says, all ‘good ‘Americans’? go when they die, and which good and bad #0 seem to love and enjoy during their terrestrial life. Upon firet arriving in Paris ove naturally seeks a hotel, It is only within the past ten years that Paris has boasted of any of those immense and comfortable hotels for which New Yerk and other American cities are so celebrated, and even now it contains but two of these, the Grand Hotel and the Hotel du Louvre, both be- longing to the same company, and both splendid eatab- lishments. These, like all the other hotels in Paris, ure, of course, kept upon the “European plan,” and, by a very fair and ho ut, rooms in them are not all charged for at the same price, but in accordance with their size and posi In the Grand Hotel, situated on the beautiful “Boulevard des Capucines, may be obtained at from fifteen to four francs per day, and in all European hotels travelers should recollect that the higher up they go the lower Is the price, and that if they wish to consult economy they shonld ask for upper rooms. Those ou the fifth or highest floor of the Grand Hotet are rented for four francs a day, ‘Travellers, how- over, in engaging rooms at European hotels should also remember that, besides the price which they are told will be charged tor the rooms themselves, (here is al ways an extra charge for “serv ‘This varies in the large hotels from one to five francs per day. ‘There ix another little charge for ‘candle.’ Gas has not as yet been introduced into the lodging rooms of any of the Parisian hotels.

Admiral Goldsborough's Squadron in English Waters— Saluting the Dutchmen—Ropid View ef Dutch Life— Admiral Goldsborough at Antwerp—Future Movements © the Squadron, dc. Tho flagship Colorado, Rear Admiral, Goldsborough, and the steamer Frolic Lieytenant Commander J. A. Upshur, arrived at Nieuw Dieppe, North Holland, last Monday morning, from Flusting, and are now at anchor off that quiet little town. ‘The Admiral is making a cruige in the North Sea, and visited or will visit all the Dutch ports and those of Germany that his ships will enter, The flagship arrived! out about two weeks ago, and first visited Flushiag, where the Frolio Joined her, having reached Belgium in advance of tho frigate. At Flushing the frigate Niagara, Commodore Craven, and the corvette Kearsarge also joined the flagship, and formed a nice little squadron. On his arrival Admiral Goldsborough saluted the Dutch flag with twenty-one guns, which were returned by the shore batteries, He then paid an official visit to the Dutch Admiral at the Navy Yard, and was saluted with thirteen guus, which were answered by the Colorado. Subsequently the Dutch Admiral paid his respects to Admiral Goldsborough on the Colorado, and was received with every mark of respect due to bis rauk. He in- spected the vessel, admired its beautiful proportions, neat appearance, splendid battery and fine crew, and expressed his delight at the generai condition of the ship. On his departure in his barge the Dutch flag was run up at the fore and saluted with thirteon guns, which the man.of-war in the Navy Yard responded to, gun for gun. Tho preliminary courtesies having been exchanged, many of the officers of the squacron went ashore and looked about the town. Toan American, accustomed to bustle and activity, the little town of Flushing would appear exceedingly dull and unattractive; but it is, withal, @ very pleasant, quaint old Dutch town. Situated on the northern side of the mouth of tlie Scheldt, at the sea, it onjoys many of the advantages of a watering piace. It is cool, clean and yuiet, and moves along in the world without confusion or bustle, calm- ly smoking its pipe, drinking its schnapps, occa- sionally catching some herring, and eternally ecrubbing its’ floors, scouring its copper cooking uten- sils, and always being supremely happy. Ite quaint, narrow strects, nicely paved with Belgian pavetuer, which ran between queer little old houses of brick, with small windows and high peaked roofs of red tile, are thronged occasionally with peasantry from the country around, whose faces are as stolid and monotonous as the breezy lowlands on which they live. They are # euri- os'ty, ax they clatter through the streets in their great wooden shoes, moddled after a Chinese junk foxall the world, and sing their incomprehensible songs in very low Dutch, or smoke their quaint pipes and talk the jargon of the country. Each province of Holland has its peculiar costume, more or less picturesque an tive. At Flushing the women wear on great occasions the tra- ditional seven quilted petticoats, of varied colors, which have becu handed down from’ generation to generation as heirlooms, todo service at the Kermis or fite, on which oceasion the youth and beauty throng the streets of Middleburg, four miles from Flushing, and indulge in the wildest dissipation, and do not go home until morning. Such a Kermis or féte occurred last Saturday at Middleburg, at the clove of the yearly fair, It was attended by the peasants and people for many miles around, and by many: of the residents of the town, who go to witness the merry makings of the Peasagiry, whose day it is. The peasanis begin toarrive at an carly hour in the morning, attired in their very best, and ornamented with the massive gold and silver jewelry on which they pride themselves, They come in their high covered wagons, whieh ar» variously ornamented with pictures of flowers, windmills, storks, horses and 30 forth, painted in florid colors on the lofty end board, and decked with gay flags or handkerchiefs of the loudest: tone. The horses arc decked with ribbons, and the brass and silver plating of the harness shine like a mirror, In these queer lumbering vehicles come the maidens and men, seated on old-fashioned chairs, or bags of corn or bundles of hay, for thei holiday. Each woman wears seven woollen’ quilted petticouts, which stand ont on all aides in the most wonderful manner, The embroidered waiets of their dresses, which are high on the neck, are extremely short, and appear to teruiinate just below the shoulders. A lace cap, with curious flaps or wings, covered their heads, and ahout their brows they wore broad fillets of gold, and on their fingers and shoes were silver and gold bands, The men wore knee breeches and ilk stockit with huge silver buckles on their shoes and massive silver buttons on their vests. The little boys and girls were dressed precisely like their parents, the latter scarcely being able to walk with the mass of petti- couts‘they wore. The scenes in the streets were novel, bat not attractive. Parties of peavants, of both sexes, marched along the strects, arm and arm, seng songs, danced, embraced, tumbled about, and acted as Duteh people will act when they have drank to excess of becr and gin. Tho festivitics, or saturualia, were kept up all night, and the streets became noisy and turbulent, altoigh no breach of the peace was committed or ili fovling manifested. All were peaceable, but very noisy and wildly excessive, In the morning, with red eyes and weary limbs, the peasauts got into their lumbering vehicles and returned to their homes, completely ex- hausted by the revels While at Flushing Admiral Goldaborough, with Captain Case and Lientenant amsen, went up to —— im the ‘c and spent a day or two in that city, Another tri was made to Dordr.cht, from whence the Admiral an party went to Rotterdain and the Hague.

Sr. Pererapena, August 2, 1865, Inauguration of the New Heir Apparent—the Russians in Central Asia—Pacific Assurances of the Impertat Press—Disturbances in the Caucasus—Russian Fleet i the Baltic, ec. Yesterdey one of those ceremonies camo off which are peculiar to this country—the inauguration of the new Czarewitch as heir apparent to the Russian empire. According to a law enacted, I believe, by Paul I. the mombers of the imperial family on arriving at years of discretion have to take an oath of fidelity to the Emperor aud the country, which is done by the heir apparent om completing his sixtecnth and by the other princes om attaining their twenty-first year. The swearing in oe the late Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandrovitch, therefore, took place as early as 1859, and if he had survived his brother, who is now Just turned of twenty, would not have come of age till next year; but as by tho demise of the elder prince the second has succeeded to his rights, it became necessary to anticipate the appointed term. Strictly speaking, he ought to have taken the oath immediately after his proclamation as heir to the throne; but as this is always attended with great rejoicings, decor:m required it to be postponed till tho first period of mourning for the deceased Czarewitch had expired. The three months of deep mourning which are prescribed: by etiquette in such cases terminated on the 29th ult., and are followed by a similar term of half mourning, which is not considered an obstacle to occasional festi- vities. Nevertheless, the ceremony this time was of a much simpler description than at the inauguration of the late Czarewitch, and everything passed off so quietly and with such funcral-like seriousness that superstitious persons draw a bad omen from it for the prosperity of the new heir. The oath was administered to the Grand Duke in the Imperial chapel, which being of small dimensions only a select circle of high military and civil dignitaries could be admitted. A salute of one hundred and ono guns from the Citadel announced the perform- ance of the solemn act, and the Emperor appeared with his son on tho balcony of the palace and presented hin to the assembled multitude, who received him witt Joud hurrabs. An immense body of troops were drawn up m the great square of St. Ivan, con- splcuoas among them the ani ot o il whom the Czarewitch born and who, therefore, always play a promincnt on such occasions, ‘Th e Emperor and his suite rode up shor himself on od that bis forced; and the new heir was quite eclipsed b; younger brother, Vladimir, whose exterior is cet More prepossessing than that of the elder, In the even- ing the'city was iiluminated, which, of course, produced little effect in the perpetual twilight of a summer's night in our hyperborean clime. Various es and spectacles were also got up for the diversion tho many-headed ; but it was plain that the proper spirit was wanting, and the whole: proceedings had a tame and factitious air.

The Russian commander hesitated at first, not w shing to extend his operations so fer beyond the fronticrs of Turkestan; but on being in- formed that the inhabitants of Tashkend, despairing his assistance, had resolved to apply to the Ameer Pokhara, he tnally made up his mind to take of the city, as he could not allow so im ta wo be in the hands of a Power hostile to io doubs the object of all this rigunarole is to forestall the remon- strances of the British government, who are terribly alarmed at the progress of Russian arms in Central Asia, and who are to be pacified by the assurance that no per- manent conquests are intended.
