FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Moypar, Deo, 4~6 P. MM. ‘There was a good deal of hesitation among operators on the Stock Exchange this morning, and an unsettled market was the natural consequence; but as the day advanced apprehensions wore away. Tho President’ '3 Mos- gage and the Treasury report had evidently been dis- counted, aud prices improved all round. Tho market was weakest at the early session of the open board, when Michigan Southern sold down to 74% ‘and Fort Wayne to 1053, but the rest of the list was about steady at the closing prices on Saturday evening. Atthe first regular board New York Central closed 3 lower than at the first board on Saturday, Erie %, Hudson River %, Michigan Southern 134, Cleve- land and Pittsburg 1, Northwestern %, preferred %, Rock Island 1%, Fort Wayne 3, Quicksil- ver %, Mariposa , Ohio and Mississippi certif- cates 3. Reading was % higher, Atlantic Mail 1. Government securities were firmer under the favorable character of the debt statement for tlie month. Coupon fve-twonties of the i864 issue were 34 higher, ten forties 14, soven-thirty notes of the first series 1g, second series J, third series 34. At the open board at one o'clock the market was firmer, at a fractional advance. At the second regular board it was dull but very firm, Erie closed 34 higher than at the first board, Michigan Southern g, Northwest- orn ‘<, preferred 44, Ohio and Mississippi certificates 34, Quicksilver 3, Mariposa 1, The latter, proferred, recoy- ered from the attack made upon it in the morning and aold at 21%. Goverament securities continued im- proving. Coupon five-twenties of the second and third series advanced 3, seven-thirty notes of the third sories 4. At tho open board at half-past three the market was steady on a portion of the list and strong on the remain- dor. New York Central closed on the call at (b. 8) 97%, Brio (b, 3) 0234, Reading (s. 3) 11624, Michigan Southern 75%, Cleveland and Pittsburg 924, Rock Island 106%, Northwestern 36, preferred (b. 3) 6534, Fort Wayne 106, Canton 4534, Mariposa preferred 213g. Afterwards, on the stroct, the market remained firm till the close of business, and Northwestern rose to 36% a %. There was a moderate demand for stocks, and prices tended in favor of the séiler. ‘The supply of money available at call was abundant at soven per cent, and there were no signs of distrust among lenders. The changes in the bank statement are not unfavorable. The loans show a decrease of $5,352,607, owing in part to purchases of government se- curities by the banks at the recent decline—the amount of these held by them being always counted under this head. The legal tenders have decreased $1,776,466, owing to the loss of five per cent notes paid into the Sub- Treasury, and the receipt of national bank notes in ex- obange for a portion of the same, The deposits have in- creased $44,179, although, according to the original raturn of the Clearing House last week. the increase would be $1,653,625. The first report was, however, cor- rected, and the amount of deposits altered from $173,870,269 to $175,568,073. The specie has increased lows :— .

The opening price was 148, followed by a declino of 34, anda rise before the cipse of business to 14834. Seven percent 4s still pad for baving coin carried. Tho reduction of the public debt during the month of Novomber to the extent of $26,221,444—namoly, from $2,740,854,758 on Octgher 31 to $2,714,633,314 on No- vomber 30—is attributable mainly to the large receipts of tho ‘Treasury from the sale of government property rendered useless by the termination of the war, ua well as to an excess of revenue over curs rent oxponditures, Tho currency shows a decrease of $7,410,173, six millions of which is in compound interest noes, New compound notes have, howeyer, been issued rapidly since the redemption of the five per cent notes commenced, on the 10th inst., the Secretary having authority to substitute the former for cther cur- rency withdrawn or redeemed. ‘These ate, however, boing diffused as widely as possible over thecountry, for certain reasons. The effect will, nevertheldss, be felt at the monctary centres, and practically it will go to show that the necessities of the Treasury ure too great and constant to make contraction possible fora tong timo to come. The return to specie payments must, however, always be kept steadily in view, and if we achieve the desired result within ten years wo shall have good reason to congratulate ourselves. Now that Congress is in session, deputations repre- senting various trades will be sent to Washington to urge amendmonts to the Internal Revenue act, all, of course, in favor of a reduction of taxation, and there will be not a fow members of both houses who will advocate the abolition of some and the modification of otuer taxos, according to their respective views and the inter. eats of their constituents,’ But onerous as are some of the impositions, and numerous though thoy be, the coun- try is 80 heavily burdened with debt, and its current expenditures are still so hes that a large revenue is indiapensadle to onable the Treasury to moet its maturing obligations. Where, therefore, modifications of the act are made, the object in view should be the in- crease, rather than the reduction, of the revenue by the removal of burdens or restrictions upon trade. It does not follow because a tax is high that it will be produc- tive, for it may be so high as to be prohibitive; and it has become an axiom in modern financial science that the taxes which are least burdensome and most equally and generally borne by a community are the most pro- dyctive, +’ Tho sinking fund will also clam attention; but thus rar the provisions of the act of Congress on the subject Asnes,—Reccipts, 187 pack: prices were tending u, corn meal, 95,807 bushela lar, closing Se, a 1 Southern’ flour quiet at irregul 10c, in buyers’ favor; the sal the sales included 160 bbls, quote Extra State...

Rofore Judge Garvin. At tho opening of the court yestorday morning Judge Monel occupied the bench, aad this fact led many to Guppose that the celebrated trial, which occupied the whole of last week, was about Lo be again postponed for @ome unknown reason, At the usual hour, however, 'for bevinning Judge Garvin mado his sppoarance, 4 Judge Monel! immediately announced that, owing to the Strong caso having ron from fast torm into the present one, and there being no other euitable room in which the trial could take pizce, the opening of the Decomber term would stand postponed for one week, Judge Carvin thon exchanged seats with Juatien Monell, when the roll of the jury was called, and all the mem- bers were found in attendance, MOTION TO DILNSS THE SUIT, Mr. Elbridge ¥. Gerry therefore roso and delivered a Jong arcument, lasting over three hours, in favor of dis- missing’ the complaint and rendering judgment fon ths defendant, He prefaced his motion by remarks as ta his own consection with the case, how the late Wm. Curtis Noyes conducied it, and w' hat'efforts were made to pre- vent the unfortunate suit from coming & @ public trial, to avoid tho ecandal which suoh a litigation must noces- sarily occasion. Mr, Cram interroptd Mr. Gerry in his prefatory re- marks, and said he understood that a motlon was to bo made, and not an opening address delivered. Mr, Gerry would like his friend not t be quite no pro- cipliate, and begzed that be would not be interrupted again in bis argument. ‘Court-—Mr, Gerry says ho has a motion to mako and 1 will hear hun.

Ho denounced Mrs. Bedoil as an ecclesiastical detective who bad violated a confidence placed in her, or said to have been placed in her, by the defendant, and asked why the deposition of Edvard Strong, which was on file in the court, had not een produced on the trial to prove Mrs. Strong guilty of the acts charged. THE JUDGE REFUSES A NON-SUIT. Judge Garvin, at the conclusion of Mr. Gerry's ment, said he had listened with great attention to the argument of the counsel, which showed certainly very great research and erudition; but as many of the cases cited were ones which were ‘tried by a judge without a ury, and as this was a case set down to be tried by a Tass und many of the considerations should be passed ‘upon by ajury, he could not dismiss the complaint in Uiis action, Tho court herevpon took a recesa for thirty minutes. OPENING OF THE CASE FOR THE DEFENCE. On the peepee of the court after the recoss Mr. McKeon opened the case for the defence, Ho as- sured the jury that though their verdict might not finally decide the case, yet it could have great weight in any ‘ler proceedings. He stigmatized the action of the hus- band and the parties to tho complaint as a gross attempt upon the rights of 4 woman, ‘The case was an extraordi- o, and in this country was without a parallel. ons presented to them by the defence, would be ‘of a young girl, religiously educated, and only nine- ‘ears of ugo, WhO Some Years ago was married to ntiff, but wo now, according to the story of the ot, is seut back to her father debauched by her broter-in-Jo®_ Who was responsible for bringing her in It was Mr. Strong. It should be remembered that she Was the defendant. It bad been claimod that the otver side Were desirous of an arrangement without sminy into court, but he would show the jury the en- tire contrary. He had the correspondence at hand to prove the tact, Ithad beon shown to them that Mr. Strons had lived with his wife until the fail of 1863. ‘The correspondence culminated in the month of January, 1864, when the summons was taken out and the suit commencod—or two years after the alleged confession wasmade. (Mr. McKeon read several communications in support ot bi- statements, Tn one of these letters, from Mr, Strong to Mr. Stevens, the former asserts his intention not to r’lingu’sh his right to bring a suil for a divorce, whatever the cisposition of the children.) How was the defence to avcld a suit? How was the mother to surrender all rightsto her children, as was demanded by the piaintiff, a8 a preliminary to ‘the first arrange- ment? The counsd for | sore had charged the defendant with beng a fugitive. Yet the answer to the compla nt was daily made from the city of Albany. He had obtained possession of one of the children by a trick and had neverreturned her. This abduction was effucted by Mr. Strong by means of a letter written to Mr. Stevens. Agaia, he had wnitten to his wife that he would send a wagon for the other daughter, in order that he might also abduct her. The counsel had after- wards arranged that this child was to go with the father; but yet he freely admitted that the mother, on learvin, tho prosent proceedings were to be instituted, had taken her with ber in flight. How, then, could the plain put these two iittle children up as a'shield, from behind whch he bronght this suit? He had admitted that she was one of the best of mothers and the best person to Dring them up. The father had stamped the’ children with an eternal disgrace in. bringing these proceedings, and how, then, was he entitied to apmeniiyt The family of Mr. Stevens rallie¢ around her. What man witha heart in his bosom would rot have done so? Yet the othor sido wanted the father and the son to abandon this woman, Who was the father so attacked? Mr. Stevens, not an unknown man in the city of New York—one who was identified with its commercial interests for years, and who was descended (rom Revolutionary sires. The son, too, had been asked to forget that he had a sister, His defence of her was the bighset encomlum the counsel would wish to pass upon hum. The character of Mr. Strong was that of a mean man. He had demanded oven the tew clothes which belonged to his children re- ad by mother, and he now wrote to Mr. ns for variovs articles whch were in the houve of that gentiemaa, Counsel would show them that his objet in this suit was avarice, that he w. sirous of vetting rid of dower to his wife, and that he desired to marry again where he would get mors mouey. Mr. Stroug had claimed that he couldn't live on four thousand dollars » year, and it would have been ag ble to a great many ef our citizens if Mr. Strong could have been on the National Committee of Ways and Means, where,he might have fixed the sum to i from incomes at that amount, It had been scheme to get rid of Mrs, Strong, because the uld not get auy money out of the father with stated to the Court that he would like to opening for the present, as it was too dark to permit bim to read documents which he wished to snbm ase was accordingly adjourned until Wednesday at the usnal hour, MAILS FOR EUROPE.
