The stock market sympathized actively during the past week with the improvement in the of monetary affairs, and a general advagoe in place, which was accelerated by the funding loan and the rency would be funded during present year. The rican Coal’ % sense of Congress will doubtless be taken upon the sub- | Aiton and Terre Haute RR. 38% Joct of finances before any further expedients are resort- ed to by the Treasury Department. Meanwhile the na- tional bank iasues are increasing the volume of the cur- rency at the average rate of more than three millions pet | Chicago and Mil: week, and the prospect is that Congress wil! dnd itself compelled to authorize a further large issue of national Guess bank currency, in order to extend the system throughout the South, which, save in a few pan; instances, has been awarded no portion of the three Chicago & Alton Tit” hundred million loan authorized by the National Cur- renoy act. This gocs to show that the Treasury Depart- oa ment was precipitate in creating so large a number of | Tinois Central banks at the North antecedent to the close af the war | Michigan Central. that the whole of the authorized three hundred millions ining. ~- 12 of currency was absorbed by them, Moreover, an excess | Milwaukee ePrarieda Gh. 5636 beyond the three hundred millions has been officially | New York Central apportioned. The ultimate success of the national bank- ing system is as yet a matter of uncertainty, and will re- | Ohio & Mississippi cer. main 80 until the jresumption of specie payments Perce hd takes place, whem the banks under its opera- tion will have their strength severely tested. But for the present they are, with a thanks to the National Currency act, which gives them, in most instances, ninety por cent of their capital, repre- sented by federal bonds in currency, and pays thom the full coin interest upon the said bonds deposited as secu- rity for the ultimate redemption of the currency issued, ‘The South, alike with the other sections of the country, 4s therefore clamorous for its share of the circulation, and in order to meet the demand Congress will probably be forced to act upon Mr. Jay Cooke’s theory of en. | the exports during the same ger? year:— larging tho volume of the national currency. This infla- | pore a tien must, however, be attended with a corresponding contraction of the interest-bearing currency, #0. that, the aggrogate afloat may be prevented from exceeding |p Tlal 5 .. its present limits. The evils of a forced contraction should at the same time be carefully guarded against, and tho work of re- storing specie payments left as much as possible to the operation of natural causes. The disastrous effects of a currency largely fluctuating in volume were practically illustrated in the case of England between 1797 and 1835; and that the remedy for undue inflation does not wholly lie in a contraction of the currency was shown in that The country when, in the year last mentioned, prices and the currency had touched their lowest point. ‘The extinc- tion of the one-pound notes,” says the author of the Financial History of England, “and the consequent reduction of the entire circulation, backed by some seasons of more than average finencss, was producing its inevitable effects, Tho price of grain went on slowly and progrossively falling until the years 1833, 1834 and 1835. Wheat of average gooduess was selling currently in many parts of the kingdom as low as four shillings and sixpence, or even fourshillings, the bushel, and the average prices were not forty shillings the quar- ter. The prices of live stock, owing to a scarcity both of sheep and oxen, did not go down quite in the same pro- portion. Nevertheless prices were upon the whole lower than they had been for half a century before, and agri- cultural distress, pervaded the land from one end to the other. The laborers in some parts of the kingdom pr2- exceptional | Cumboriand Coal wore brisk, the value of the exports having been $5,008,602 in currency, and of the imports $5,023,370 in gold. fe shows Ameri — = 38% 8S 37 ee ee yu Cleveland & Toledo. wos 110}, 100 100-103 Central sess eee 38 67. a _- ch anck inland’. 1103 1083108 107% cago ds & Northweatern.. 3035 81 30 30; & Northwestern 66 66: ey 65.

Toronto, 0.'W., Oct. 26, 1865. ‘The press of Canada profess) to laugh at the contents of my last letter relative to the Fenian scare in this pro- vince, just as the English press ‘‘poo-pooed”? the intelli- gence furnished them from timo to time by the Heratp as to the Fenian movements in the United States, They copy the letter entire, and then ery ‘‘sensation;’’ but I apprehend they will find before the snow comes and dis- appears that the Fenian bug-bear is a fearful reality, and that many whose support they count upon to repell an armed invasion are among the ‘‘rebela”’ who are to lift “the green above the red.” Strenuous efforts are sorved the rate of wages by the desperate resort of rural | River road. ‘The latter road was originally designed to | put forth by the organs of the government to allay the incendiarism, but farms were soon standing unlet and rents unpaid, while the landlords, who bad a committee ran from Saratoga Springs, connecting at Schenectady with the New York Central, and thence to Athens, which excitement; but they fail in their efforts, and the pro- ceedings of the American Fenians are watched and cem-* aitting in London, besieged the Houses of Parliament and | Polat was intended as the torminus of tho steamboat | mented upon very generally, It is the all-absorbing ministers with petitions, the burthen of which was that ‘by some device or other wheat should be made dearer or Iine, including the St. John, Dean Richmond, and all the larger steamboats belonging to the gentlemen princi- topic upon the streets and in hotels and saloons, and many individuals are quite loud in declaring their sym- the expenses of growing it loss, Tho frst was beyond | Ally interested in the railroad, and which boats will pro- | paghy with downtrodden Treland, As yet no arresta have the powers of Parliament to do, unless by letting out the | Dably soon be withdrawn from the Albany line, The small notes again, the seasons being beyond their powors.”” The distross among the laboring population here re- ferred to must be avoided as much as possible in our own case in restoring specie payments. At present the Principal argument of the precipitate contractionists is based upon the high prices of the necossaries of life, road is nearly completed, and it is expected that an ex- eursion train will be run over the road early next month. There are roads already constructed, or in process of construction, from New York to Newburg, and a route is being surveyed for a road from Newburg to Catskill. There will thon be a hiatus of only six miles between which pres severely upon the poor and persons of mod, | Catskill and Athens and twelve miles between Coeymans erate means generally. But it has been shown that the prices of the necessaries of life may be forced to an ex- tremely low point, and that distress among the poor may increase with the progress of the causes influencing the decline. Whatever is damaging to the general prosperity of a country is proportionately impoverishing to the great mass gf its inhabitants individually. “The cause that raised wheat and moat,” says the same author in speaking of the inflation which preceded the panic of 1825—‘‘namely, the multiplication of bank Wheat, bush. notes in circwlation—soon raised the price of everything | Corn. else.” And Mr. Tooke, in his “Treatise on the State of the Currency,” published in 1826, states that, in his belief, not less than Afty per cent was added to the circulating and Albany, to connect New York and Albany by a west side railroad. The carnings of the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad) during the third week in October amounted to $27,708, which is an increase over the receipts for the same time last year of $6,339. The following table shows the amount of grain in store at Chicago on the 2lst inst., as compared with the amount in store at the same time last year:— Oct, 21, 1864. Oct, 21, 1865, 934,11 37 1,450,773 1,125,015 1,244,112 1,131,754 278,171 228,479 367,932 304,355 Fears are manifested in Chicago that the grain in money of Great Britain betwoon the beginning of 1822 | store js likely to be damaged by heat unless the bulk of andthe summer of 1825, “It became,’’ remarks Mr. Tooke, ‘the business of speculators and brokers to look minutely through the general price currents, with a view to discover any article that had not advanced,» in order to make it the subject of anticipated demand. If a person not under the iafuence of the prevailing delusion inquired for what r.ason any particular article had risen, the common answor was, ‘Everything else has risen, and therefore this ought to rise,’ This flotitious prosperity gave an | y, impulse to speculative gambling unprecedented in mod- ern times, 30 much so that persons removed from all business, retired officers, widows and single women of small fortune risked their incomes or their savings in every species of desperate enterprise, and the competi- tion and scramble fof premiums in conceras which ought.never to have been otherwise than at a.discount were perfectly astonishing to those who took no part in these transactions.” In this connection we may mention that while at the beginning of 1823 there were only a hundred and fifty-fiye public companies in the United Kingdom, exclusive of the banks, no less than pecan ery securiti five hundred and thirty-two new agsociations, with a up betwoou that time and the close of 1825. ‘Thus, while we are guarding against the evils of undue contraction and its copsequent depression, the opposite extreme of further inflation and excessively high prices must likewise be. avoided. In otber words, it will be necessary to obviate as much ag possible all sudden dis- turbances of thecurrency, the money market and prices, ‘and gradually the rising prosperity of the country will reach a point when, the currepoy now in-circulation will be hardly in excess of the requirements of the people, and tbo transition to specie payments may be made with a far lighter shock than attended similar ordeals in England and France. Mr, McCulloch, in suspending the further funding of the currency, has given the public the assurance that he is alive to the interests of the banking and commercial community, and anxious to avert the dangers attending Tet & stringent money market. spasm has shown thet the circulation of the country is fully employed, and that in the present abnormal condition of affairs its contraction in any form must not be forced, but left as much as possible to the operation of natural causes until the trade and commerce of the whole country, and particularly of the South, have had time to recover from the exhausting effects of the late war. ‘Tho money market closed moderately easy at neven | Superfine state por cont for call loans, and a return flow of currency having already set in to somo extent from tho East and West there ie more confidence felt among lenders. The disposition to speculate for a rise on the Stock Ex- change Is at the same timo strong, and in view of the cer. tainty of an increase of Joanable fands at this market it is probable that the ‘bulls’ will venture upon the mar- ket, and, regardless of real values, a considerable rise ta stocks will probably be the result, ‘The gold market, has been rather dull during the week, ‘and the premium on the whole ruled barely steady. The demand for customs duties was lighter than usual of late, aggregating only $1,990,000, and the export $930,014— ‘fan amount largor than was generally expected, owing to the@revailing low rates of exchange. A considerable Portion of the export was, however, in the form of gold bars. The disbursements of the Sub-Tressury on account of coin interest amounted to $2,478,828. The extreme quotations recorded in the Gold Room were:— soon Wednesday. ‘Thursday. it is speedily shipped.

I am satisfied, fron the stand your journal has taken in attempting a redu¢ tion of the expenditures of the country since the close «f the rebellion, that you will grant a space for this con- munication. The Veteran Reserve corps, composed f men who have been disabled by wounds or disease, aid numbering some six thousand men, is still kept in ho servico nominally as soldiere, while performing no duies which would entitle them to such; and this, too, when nearly all of them (or leas than one hundred of tle six thousand) desire, nay, earnestly entreat to be disbarged the service.

TRAIN THROWN DOWN AN EMBANKMENT—SBVERA’ PERSONS INJURED. i [From the Louisville Journal, Oct. 26.) On Tuesday evening last a vory serious accident oc- curred toa sag et In going south over the Louisville Seema Dames, Ui aac en ers 2 m some unexplain from the track, and four of the cars and the caboose pre- clpitated down'’an embankment thirty feet steep. There were’ but few persons on the train, but ail were more or lesa injured. One man, who was upon the roof of a car atthe time, had a leg badly broken, and another was mutilated about the face and body and had an arm frac- tured. “These two men, v1 names we could not as- certain, were taken aboard the passenger train comin, north, and received every attention which their wound condition required. The track was torn up for a con- siderable,distance, and, on this account, the regular train for this city was delayed about two hours, The accident was probably caused by a defective rail. A MOTHER AND HEB TWO CHILDREN SHOCKINGLY MANGLED. [Quincy (IIL) Oct. aehinigee rats of Chicago Repub- ican. In Mason city, the junction ‘of the North Missouri with the Hannibal and St. Joseph road, I beheld a most heart- rending sight. A Mrs. Noble, of Memphis, Missouri, with her four children, while waiting for a train boun east, tovk refuge under a car on the side track to be out of th@ rain. Why she did this will never be known, as enere was plenty of oom inthe depot. While she was there an engine hitcked on, and before she could get out the top of her head was cut off. One child, four years old, had both legs cu: off below the knees; another, seven years old, both legs above the kneos. The other two ‘were but slightly injured. I saw them some three hours after the accident. Then both children were alive, but the elder was fast sinking. There was a probability that the other would live.
