Tho money market remains easy at five per cent, with exceptions at four on government securities. In dis- eounts a very limited business is reported, and first class @ommercial paper is rated at 6 a7 percent. Gold has shown a strong rising tendency in sympathy ‘with the course of foreign exchange, and the expecta- ions of the multitude who sold it “short”? in anticipa- ‘ion of a break when the payment of the five- ‘wenty May coupons commenced have been dis- @ppointed. And this is not owing to a scarcity for dclivery—for loans have generally been either without interest or at 4a 6 per cont per annum— Dut to legitimate financial causes, The opening price ‘was 12635, followed by a steady advance to 128%, and a ‘elapse at the close to 127% Foreign exchange was firm at yesterday's quotations, ‘8nd some of the bankers refused to draw bills on Eng- Gand at sixty days under 10934, The range of the mar- ‘Ket, however, was from 10934, but the transactions were Mmited. A not inconsiderable shipment of coin was mate by the Porsia—namely, $125,000. Cotton bills are eut of favor, owing to the unsettled state of the Liver- pool market and the failure of Barned’s joint stock ‘Dank there, involving a return of some bills dishonored. & sensation was created in Wall street this afternoon ey the announcement of several forgeries of the name @f Albert Speyers, a broker, to bank checks, committed my one John Ross, who has disappeared, It appears that @ one instance the latter person, who had an office at 44 Exchange place, but who is unknown op the tock Exchange, purchased fifty thousand dollars in gold from Black ¥ Spalding and paid for the samo by a “Shock upon the Fourth National Bank, signed Albert Bpeyere, by his attorney, Rogers, for $64,800, which pur- ported to have been duly certified by the said bank. The ‘Feceivers, after dolivering the gold, lodged the check fo their credit in the Union Bank yesterday, {put it was not until the exchanges were made this morn- Qing that the fraud was discovered. Another check, also @or $64,800, purporting to have been drawn by the same Person upon the same bank, and apparently certified, ‘was lodged in the Continental Bank. The forgeries were either skilfully nor carefully executed, but they showed @onsiderable premeditation. The certification stamp of the Fourth National bank was a nearly exact imita- ‘Won and had, of course, tobe made for the purpose, ee also had the revenue cancelling stamp of Albert Speyers and the checks on which his name was printed, wnless they were surreptitiously obtained from bis own Doeks. The cancelling stamp contained the strange in- eocuracy of spelling the name Speyers as Sepyers—evi- dently an accidental transposition in arranging the let- ters. Two other Wall street houses were prominently Mentioned as receivers of similar checks for large mounts from the same person. The name of another Bouse—namely, Howe & Macy—is understood to have Been forged to two checks on the Leather Manufacturers’ Bank. The forgor kept an account at one of the banks mentioned, and drow checks upon it beyond his balance ‘there, to speak mildly. A more deliberate swindle has. mevor been perpetrated, and it will serve one good pur- pore if it leads to greater care in the transaction of Dusiness in Wail street, and especially to a more rigid gerutiny of bauk checks, both by brokers and bank feliers.

It 13 expected thattho Straits of Mackinac will be free of ico within a few days, and that the large fleet of vessels now loaded for the lower lake will get through. This will contribute greatly towards stimulating geveral trade, and aid in changing the bal- ance of trade with the East, so long against us, iu our favor.

The Delay in Signing the Tax Levy— Discrepancy in the Clause Extending the Term of Office of the Croton Board— The Fail Campaign the State—Oc- cultation of the Candidates and the Canvass, &. OUR ALBANY CORRESPONDENCE. Aumany, May 1, 1866. I learn from Governor Fenton that the delay in regard to the signing of the City Tax Levy bill arises entirely from a dispute in relation to the accuracy of the en- grossed copy before him. Nelson J. Waterbury bas fled & protest with the Executive alleging that the clause relative to the extension of the terms of office of Engineer Craven and Assistant Commissioner Dar- ragh for three years should read so as to include also Thomas Stephens, President of the Board. It appears that this turns upon a einglo letter. The bill as it now stands reads commissioner, whereas Mr. Waterbury and the friends of Mr. Stephens insist that it had passed in the pluzal, commissioners, Tho clerk of the Senate and the engrossing clerk haye been summoned to appear here this week, when the question will be determined and the bill signed. There has been no other question in regard to the signing of the tax | except what has arisen out of this Croton Board clause, Some kind of opposition has been manifested, however, from the same source which defeated the concurrence of the municipal boards in any levy, and which sought to accomplish a like result between the Senate and . The motive of this curious and specious design is to show what e result —to shoulder the consequon ure, the Executive and the iu reality subserve two collusiy in the on their = officially and poiltically, iutshing sataroalia in the manner of T canvassed the year.

It has just been discovered that the last Legisla- ture passed an act taxing a certain class of brokers to an extent that must drive them out of business and prove injurious to many interests in this city, It seems to have been slipped through quietly and been signed by the Governor without attracting any attention until after it became a law and was published, The circumstances connected with it look suspicious to say tho least, and it has on the surface aw appearance of a big job.

After orga tion the Chair- man made some remarks to the eiivct that the commit- tee appointed last woek bad been busily engaged and had some hopes that something for their benefit might be effected, but that they could as yet only report pro- grees, Mr: Hutchings was about to visit Albany upon the business of the brokers, aud if deemed necessary the committee would go with him. It was then decided that it were better that the com. mittee take no farther action until they had the full benefit of eminent counsel.
