FINANCIAL “AND COMMERCIAL Tuvnspay, March 29—6 P. M. The stock market has been unsettled to-day, with exception of Michigan Southern and Fort Wayne, which were strong, by heavy bear operations in Erie, under which, at one time, the stock touched 1634, but quickly reacted to 774, and afterwards to 78}. It is supposed bn the street that a person connected with the manage- ment of the road and occasionally a large holder of its stock has sold out with a view to buying back at lower figures, and that he ia assisted by a com- dination of bears, who aim to influence the general market by pitting thelr strength against this single stock ; but these efforts are not likely to be successful, as the strength with which other leading railway shares were supported under this adverse movement goes to in- dicate, At the early session of the open board Erie was pressed for sale, the trausactions aggregating 5,600 shares, and declining to 7834. Michigan Southern was frm at 82%, Cleveland and Pittsburg 79. Reading eold at 100% a x, Northwestern preferred 5534, Fort Wayne 933 a X, New York Central 92. At the first regular board the market was, like the weather, rather heavy. Erie experienced a further decline of 134, closing on the call 43 lower than at the half-past two board yesterday. Hudson River was % lower, Reading %, New York Cen- tral 9%, Michigan Southern 3{, Cleveland apd Pittsburg 1, Northwastern preferred %, Cumberland 3. Fort Wayne ‘was 34 higher. Quicksilver, Canton and Western Union Telegraph were steady, There was a larger busi- noss Chan usual transacted in government securities, and especially seven-thirty mote, -The first and second series of the latter were un- altered and the third series was 3¢ higher. Coupon fye- twenties of the second issueadvanced 3. The oldissue declined 3¢, sixes of 1881 3. Among the State stocks North Carolina sixes were the most active, and advanced ‘One’ per cent. ey x At the one o’clock sessions the market was a shade firmer, and at the half-past two board there was a brisk demand for all the leading stocks, Erie sold up to 78% and Michigan Southern to 84. Rock Island and Cleveland and Pittsburg were also strong. Michigan Southern closed 13, higher than at the first regular board, Cleveland and Pittsburg 34, Northwestern preferred 3{, Rock Island 1X, Erie 1. Reading and Northwestern were steady. Fort Wayne ‘was }¢ lower, Western Union Telegraph %, Quicksilver 3. Government securities were neglected, seven-thirty 1 notes of the second series excepted, which advanced %, At the open board at half-past three the improvement in Erie was ost, the price, under sales of 6,900 shares, relapsing to 77 (8 5). This produced a sympathetic but only slight decline in the rest of the railway list, New York Central sold on the call at 9134, Reading 100%, Michigan Southern 8334, Cleveland and Pittsburg 78%, Rock Island 115%, North- wostern 265%, preferred (8. 8) 5534, Fort Wayne 92%. Afterwards the market closed steady, the following be'ng the quotations current at half-past five :—Erie 7734 34, Hudson River 10734 a 108, Reading 100a %, Michigan Southern 833 a 3, Cleveland and Pittsburg 1834 @ 3g, Rock Island 1123 a 34, Northwestern 26% a X, preferred 64% a %, Fort Wayne 92% a 34. + Tho demand for money from the Stock Exchange con- tinues moderate, and is promptly met among the brokers and private bankers at five per cent. The large surplus of loanable funds preesing upon the market is inducing purchases of ceven-thirty notes as a dernier resort, and hence the advance of the second series this afternoon to 10034 agains! 9934 on the 1st instant, The discount lino ig scantily supplied with first class commercial paper, which is taken freely at 63¢ a 7 per cent, the second best quality being rated at 8 a9; but there is more offering of inferior grades than there are buyers for. Names in the ‘dry goods trade are closely scrutinized on account of its unsettled condition, and the heavy Joases which the de- Cline of 25 a 30 per cent in manufactures since the com- mencement of the year has oflicted upon the imporjers and jobbers. The money market at Chicago at the be- Binning of the week ruled quiet, and the demand for dis- counts was moderate, but nevertheless a closer scrutiny of names was observed. Exchange on the East was in light supply at 1-10 premium selling, and par buying. The decline in gold bad completely checked speculation, the general markets were without life, and very fow orders were boing received for shipment at the resump- tion of navigation, ‘The gold market weakened from 128% at the opening to 127%, alter which it recovered to 128 and declined to 12734, and Gnally at four P.M. closed at 127% a %. Loans were made in favor of the lender of the coin as high as 6-82 per cent early in the day, but afterwards the rate declined to 1-88, and near the close coin was, yesterday, offered without interest, probably for effect, by the “beara.” The report that the May Interest on the five-twenty loan will be anticipated is contradicted on official authority. Foreign exchange continues depressed undor a large supply of and limited demand for bills. Bankers’ bills on England at sixty days were quoted late fo the after- noon at 106% a 107, three days 107); @ 103, commercial 105 0 108. Mining and petroleum stocks were dull. At tho first board Homowack closed 11c, lower than at the samo timo yesterday, Beaneloffrun 20c., Pithole Creek $1 20, Unived States 10c., Quartz Hill 6c., Smith & Parmlee iSc, Exoolsior was 25c. higher, Columbian 60c., Venango and Pithole 6c, At the second board the market way Uismer. Bennehoff Run sold a} $1%, ‘buchanan Farm 46¢,, Homo- ‘wack $4 05, West Virginia Coal and Oil 10c., Pithole creek $4 30, Ivanhoo $3, Shade River $3 45, United Sigtes $8 25, Consolidated Gregory Gold 60, Benton $1 $5, Gunnell Gold $1 26, Gunnell Central $5, Holman Gold 3%c., Kipp & Buell $2 26, New York Gold S6c., Smith & Parmiee $10 10. The recent failure of Culver, Poeun & Co. in this city Jed to a run upon several banks at Titusville, Oil Cicy and Franklin, of which the firm in question were the New York correspondents, and to-day a tclegram from Phi’a- dglphia reports that six banks in the oil regions have failed. The Second National Bank, not connected with this house, continues business as usual, This led to some excitement amoug the petroleum companies which kept accounts with theso banks, and their stockholders 4elt correspondingly uneasy, the mar- kot for petroleum stocks there being very much un- mottled. No business will be transacted to-morrow on the Stock Exchange or at the gold and petroleum boards; but as Good Friday 1s not jegal holiday the bauks will be open as usual. The Produce Exchange will also be open. The Treasurer of North Carolina announces that he s Propared to sell, for not less than par, bonds of that State, running thirty-four years, with coupons bearing six por cent interest, payable semi-annually, of ihe denominations of $100, $500 and $1,000, principal and |’ interest untaxable, for the purpose of paying coupons now due and to become due tn 1866, and also bonds to fall due the current year.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Nonvog, Va, March 27, 1866. As thousands of your readers are deeply interested in the oyster law now going into operation in Virginia l write a few lines on that sulject. The County Court of Norfolk county on Saturday last appointed an inspector, who commences the inspection and licensing of vessois to-day. Several Northern veasela will pay the tax of three dollars per ton, under protest, and commence to load at once, ’ The Jurisdiction of this inspector will extend to the Napsemond river, so that those taking oysters on the Fidge will not be liable to his Inspection There is no inspector for the county of Nansemond, nor can there bo One appointed before the third Monday tn April. Thir- toon Northern vessels are now taking oysters on Naneo- mond ridge to carry North to plant, + The ablest lawyer in Norfolk, 1 ts sald, bas no doubt of the unconstitutionality of the oyster law Impoa- ing @ duty of three dollars per ton on veasela carrying oyatera, There seems to be no doubt that those paying the tax will have it refunded. As more than five hus- dred thousand bushels are yet required to be planted at the North this spring they must hurry up, as tho season ‘will expire tm tegs than two months when oysters are ab lowed to be carried from Virginia, J accomMack. Ranroap Sts Ld itp oe kinea en sat down, and was reading a rt; La Dew ro- marked “Get up Oddie,” and the iaiier replied, ‘No; what do you want me to get up for?” the prisoner put his hand tn his side pocket, pulled out a pistol, and held it in his hand in a p! i manner; I said to him, ‘John, my God! don’t cock that pistol,” and instantly the pis- tol went off; I raid to him, “John, you have killed that man,” and he replied, “Oh! no, no—he can’t be dead;”” I then went over to where adic was lying, and found him dead; La Dew then led to Police He uar- ters and gave himself up; I have known the parties for a long time and always saw them on friendly terms. John Spoling, & boot black, testified to bel when the shooting occurred; I had blacked Mr. Nixon’s boots, and asked Mr. La Dow if I could black his; he told me to do 80; ‘1 had polished one of his boots when I heard the report of a pistol; I did not hear Mr. La Dew say anything about owning f tol; I saw him waving the pistol about in his hand; hear Mr. La Dew have any words with the deceased. Joseph G. Shaw, M.

Some other unimportant testimony was taken, after which Coroner Gamble submitted the case-to the jury, ‘who rendered the following ‘VEanicr, That the anid William B.

As the case of William Grady (referred to in your issue of the 27th) is attracting considerable attention in this quarter, your correspondent here deoms it advisable to forward the following particulars, believing they ‘be read with interest:—It seems that on the day above mentioned (the 26th of August, 1:64), Grady, in company with a man named Dixon, visited New York, got ona spree, and in this same state of feeling returned to Elisa. both. Passing along one of the streets of said place they met ® man named Forgus Collins, who, in moving by, passed between Grady and Dixon, thereby pro- voking the displeasure of the latter, who manifested this first by words and subsequently be fee Heroin the cage there comes in a number of indefinite generalities which, nevertheless, make clear two points, to wit: that about three days after the encounter referred to the body of Fer Sg ay oy th marks of violence upon it, was found fvating in creck at the port (receiving the usual coroner’s brn Clay a verdict rendered in ac- cordance with the vi evidences); and that Grady next turns up asa soldier in the service of the United States. eg 2 the rendering of the inquest verdict the subject was left suspen: inexplained—a myxtery— until Grady revived it, doing so from this cause :—Grady, whilo marc ith Sherman's colui when it Was Operating in the rear of (harleston, 5.

On arriving at Goldsboro, N. C., and when the army was encamped there, he made a siatem nt in regard to the matter in ac- cordance with his vow, which led to bis arrest by the military authorities, The usual legal forms being gone through with, he was handed over to the civil authoritics and conveyed from Goldsboro, N.

THE DRILL consists of the following mechanical elements:—A cyl! der of cast iron, which contains a piston by compressed air, the alr being admitied by a slide valve working transversely to the cylinder; through the piston — @ hollow tube or — rod which contains the M1; at the back end of the piston rod is a nut and ground the drill rod a screw, by the rotation of which a forward movement is given to the drill EA ion as it penetrates the rock; the rotation and feed of the drill are effected by two ratchets operated by astud, which moves in an inclined slope. MANNER OF MOUNTING, In the shop experiment the drill was mounted upon an fron column about five inches diameter, but when ap- xe to operations in the tunnel a number of those ills will be mounted upon an iron frame, which will be the mode of mouuting Will be na Frid the © mode of mou! will somew! u drills in this case being supported in t1 isms, which are to to-be raised and wire rope.

A limited number of advertisement: serted in the Waexiy Henatn, notify the public that all persons purchasing tickets at pg As ee the company ‘‘would be charged but the fixed ticket rate.” Clearly, then, the contract is not to sella ticket for twenty cents, but to convey for that sum, the preliminary purchase of the ticket being a ‘mere condition to the latter contract go into effect, In this view, until the company shall e! lly alter their rule and rate, a passenger's offer of compliance with the condition is equivalent to compliance, upon such offer the contract becomes complete. 6 defendants’ conductor had no right then to charge the plaintiffs thirty cents, and the act of removal was a wrong. ‘This invasion of the plaintiffs’ rights was vated by the rudenees of the conductor, who should have obeyed his general instructions in a civil and proper manner. Those instructions were, to exact in all cases ten cents more than the ticket rate where the passenger could not for any cause produce a ticket—even where, as here, the conductor may be notified by the defendants’ own servants that the ticket offices are closed. Such orders really go the length of requiring the conductor to exact at times more than the company is entitled to, and to enforce the demand by the commission o! a trespass, Such instructions do not aid the defence; they make the matter worse.
