FINANOIAL Karunvay, June 23—6 P.M yas beap a quiet day in Wall street, the usual of Saturday having been experienced. Gold from 161% at tho opening to 16354, after which Geolined to 169%. It then began to react, and closed ‘at 15234. Loans wore made at 1-160} per cent diem in favor of the lender of the coin. The export ‘br gold by this day’s steamers aggregated 61,156,086, of “which the Hansa took $921,086, the Borussia $100,000, ‘and the City of Paris $76,000, making for the weok $1,400,408. The goneral opinion of the gold speculators is that the next news from Europe will favor a rise more than gall, and hence the firmness of the market. There cam be ttle doubt that the news of the Fenian raid pro- duced considerable agitation in England, involving 8 de- oline in United States securities on the London Stock Exchange; but as we know how short-lived the glory of ‘bo Fenians was upon that occasion wo shall hardly pre- ‘sume to attach much importance to the effect abroad of the first intelligence of the capture of Fort Erie. It is not improbable that the next steamer will report iso the commencement of hostilities in Europe, and this It is expected will promote a rise in gold, a result not ung Pkely at the outset, but one which is liable to be quickly followed by a reaction. In any event, however, a rapid fall of the gold premium is almost impossible, for we bg¥p shipped too much coin latterly, and our residue is ‘too amall for the market to be otherwise than well sus- tained until the exchanges turn substantially in our favor. The range of the gold market during each day of the week was as follows:— 151: 182 14836 5045 1486 Saturday . 3l 1585% 181% ‘The weekly export from this port and Boston since the @Ath of April has been, according to the official returns, as under:— Wook ending April 23. + _ $73,880 Week ending May 5 2 1,247)240 Wook ending May 12... 2 106,406 ‘Week ending May 19. + 8)763,295 Week ending May 3 11,354,840 ‘Weok ending June > 61873,278 Week onding June « 5,835,300 ‘Wook ending June + 6,153,199 Week onding June 25. 1,409,408 Business on the Stock Exchange was dull, and the quotations of yesterday were barely sustained.

At the recent Methodist Episcopal Convention, held in Boston, some curious statistics concerning the poor remuneration of ministers wore presented orally, but nothing to compare with the following:—At a meeting of the Irish Presbyterians at fast it was at that out of five hundred and fifty-two Presbyterian congregations scattered over the coun- or occupying positions as to woalth and numbers in leading towns, fourteen pay their minis- ters no more than one shilling (twenty-five cents) per day; sixty-six pay less than one shilling and six pence per day; ninety-two pay less than two shillings per day; one hundred and forty-Lwo pay less than throe shillings day; thirty-two pay about ve shillings per day; ets tro avout Bix shillings per day, and ten pay about seven ilings Vd day, or somewhere about one dollar and seventy-! cents. The Boston Traveller says: “Tho fact is within our knowledge that a preacher, within the last two months, hired himself for half a year to a Maine congregation for seventy dollars.”” the venerable city missionary of Boston, inety-four years old. He was in good health all through the winter, and able to seek out the poor and unfortunate in lanes and attics and cellars, as in former years. In the spring he was laid up fora fow days on account of overwork, but is now all right again; and be goes through bis labor of love cheerfully and with a Btep as light as if thirty years younger. Bishop Williams, of Connecticut, did a good day’s work on Sunday, the 17th inst. By some mistake ho had appointments in Norwich and Windham for the same day, but he determined to fill both, and he did. At Christ church in Norwich he ordained Rev. Mr. Roberts Sunday morning, the services closing about one P. M., whon he at once took a carriage and pair of horses and was driven to Windham, fourteen miles, by three o'clock, where he confirmed a number of candidates, and at the close of the service there was driven back to Norwich and confirmed several persons at the Sunday evening ser- vico at Christ church. When it is remembered that he preached a sermon at each of thesé services, it will be acknowledged that the bishop is a faithful worker. And in this case no one can doubt that ‘the better the day the better the deed.” Some coon ago the Baptists withdrew from the Biblo Soct use the managers would not consent to issue jon suited to Baptist ideas for foreign circulation. They formed what was known asthe American and Foreign Bible Society. After a time parties concluded that if a Baptist version was good for the heathen it was good for home use. To furnish ® new tran lation that should be puror than King James’ and more faithful vo the original the American Bible Union came into oxist- ence. two organizations, quite antagonistic, have long divided the Baptist denomination. But the Biblo Union has steadily gained ‘on the Bible Society, and, ike the house of David, grew stronger and stronger, while the other, like the house of Saul, grew weaker and weaker. The Union has now completed the Now Testament and several books of the Old. At a meet ing of the Now York Association, hold last week, at which thirty leading ist ministers were present, it was voted unanimously to accopt the new version’ and to recommend it to be used in the pulpit, in the Sunday School and in the family. Rev. Dr. Wescott, who has been @ long and earnest ent of the new’ version, has given in bis adhesion and allowed himself to be elected as Associate Secretary. The new Fire Commissioners have requested donations of the new version for every engine house in the Metropolitan district, assigning a8 a reason that the members of a versi Paid Dopartment have a it deal of time on their hands. They have heard of the new version, are curious about it, and to read it in connection with the old in the'r leisure moments, and seo which is best. Tho directors of Chicago Seminary have voted to raise $200,000 foe Its tore comnplote endowment. Tho Pope has erected St. Hyacinthe, Cana intoa bishopric, and appointed Rev. Charles Laroque bishop. Tn thirty-two the of Maind have lost nine church hirty-two ministers and two thousand three hund: ‘and ninctyfour members. They are so much weaker than in 1843.

Originated—Russia in Force on the Austrian Frontier as an Aily—How the Map of Europe may be Allered, tut not to Suit Nap Teon— Venetia to be Held to the Last. An article which appears in the Gazette, a semi-official journal, is interesting and valuablo, This article com- mences by stating that the journcy of Count Mensdorf, the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs to Paris, de- pended upon the character of the reply received to his note accepting the principle of the late Congress. The article goes on to say that it is tho wish of Austria that no combination should be considered by which any Pow- er should increase its territory. By this Austria means that Venice shall not be given to Italy nor the Duchtes to Prussia, For herself she asks nothing at all but to ro- tain what sho has, and that if another combipation shail be arrived at her territory shall not be diminished in ex- tent. She ia not willing, however, to be despoiled of her territory or of her inflaence in Germany to gratify the ambition of cortain men who, under tho guise and pre- tence of patriotism, seok only thoir persoual aggrandize- ment. After Austria and Prussia had stolon tho Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein and Lauenbourg from Denmark by the treaty of Vienna they declared them the joint pro- perty of Prussia and Austria, and they wore governed oy Prussian and Austrian commissaries. This system of gov- ernment being found not to work well, by the subsequent Convention of Gastein Austria and Prussia made a division of the spoils, Lauenbourg was given to Rrussia and Schleswig placed under her exclusive government and control, as was Holstein under that of Austria, certain reservations being mado In that lattor torritory, however, in favor of Prussia. Now, at the last mooting of the Diet Austria abandons Holstein to the Germanic Confeder- ation—placos’ it undor the control of the Federal Diet— and calls together the local Diet of the Duchy. This is» master stroke of policy vn the part of Austria, and will doubtless secure her tho aid of the secondary States, which will be still further estranged from Prussia by the bold, defiant, contemptuous manner in which sho replics to the proposition to disarm. Prussia, howevor, does not look upon the abandonment by Austria of Holstein in 80 favorable a light as tho Dict docs. Sho troate it as a violation of the Gastoin convention, and may look upon the assembling of the Holstein Diet as a casus be ls, she cortainly will the occupation of Holstein by federal troops. If there is to be war, Austria would pre- fer to have ut brought om ia this way’ for then is will be ‘a war not between Austria and Prussia, but betweon the latter Power and the Germanic Confoderation, led by Austria, But it is generally now believed that’ Austria hag even a stronger and more reliable friend in the pros- ent emergency, and, in viow of future contingencies, than the petty, uncertain States of Germany, and that she would not have taken the decided steps which si has within the Et fow days but that tho aid of Russia had been prom! hor. Russia already bas a hundred thousand troops upon the Austrian frontier, which, in case of war there would Prove a valuable aid to Austria, If thore is, as is now confidently believed in Vienna, a treaty of alliance be- tween Ri.ssia and Austria, the map of Europe may yet be changed, not as Napoleon and Bismark and La Marmora would haye‘lt, but under tho pencils of Gortschakoff and Mensdorf. Such an alliance would secure the Danubian Principalities to Russia, aud prepare the way for her march to the Bosphorus, and, perhaps, convert the min- arctod mosques of Consiantinoplo ere many years into Christian temples. It might convince Napoleon that ho was not the rulor of Europe, make England more do- cent and respectable, quench the ambition of Bismark, dach the hopes of the Italians, and secure Austria in her possessions and pave tho way to her future power and Prosperity. All this is ‘in the cards,’ and may Le de- veloped before the coming war, the ‘first boomings of which we are now daily, almost hourly, expecting to hear, is over. Austria is continuing her war preparations on an im- mense scale, and thousands of troops are hurried off daily to the North. The second conscription, which, it was said, would not be carried into operation, is soon to commenco, Business is suffering termbly; many large manufacturing establishmonts have been closed, the cur- rency is daily depreciating in value, and all articles of ne- cosalty increasing. This state of things cannot long con- Unue, and the actual commencement of hostilities would be a real relief from this state of uncertainty. An impe- rial ordinance suspending the habeas corpus,and the secu- rity of the domicile in Venotia, on the const of Istria, in Southern Tyrol and Dalmatia, has been published, and General Benedek has been a plenary power to do the frame in the North and to declare martia! law whenever he considers it necessary. Nobody believes that the Peace can be maintained a woek longor. Nothing in the actions of Austria indicate at present any intention of relinquishing or relaxing her hold upon Vonetia. A decree has just been issued authorizing beep a en of twelve millions ae ver in Venoti: e government gives 5 there the privilege of paying this tn eaten beeen now and next December. It is indeed intimated that this length of time given is intended by the Austrian government as a political sign, as an evidence that it ex- Pects to be ag able to collect its loag in Venice in December next, as now, In fact the rosult of the war in Italy cro- ates very little if any anxiety in Austria, and unless Franco should interfere Austria confidently expects that with her veteran troops and thorough discipline, and ber Strong, well mapoiee fortifications, sho will make very work with tho Italiana.

The dark cloud of peace which has for the past ten days thrown « depressing shadow over the enthusiastic and vivacious tempera- ments of the lively sons of Italy has rapidly disappeared under the influence of recent eventa, Everything looks more cheerful and hopeful to-day, simply because the prospects of war were never more bright. It seoms strange and unnatural that the imminence of ‘a gigantic conflict, the ond of which no one can foreseo, should have euch an effect upon a people who bave but lately omerged from a war of independence. Bat such is the fot, as every observer in Italy will notice. Tlie proposed Paris congress is not to meet, and the hopes entertained of its assembling must be given up. Such is the tenor of the news reosived to-day by telegraph. The reports from the Paris Bourse, where Italian, French, and even Eng- lish securitios have experienced a hoavy fall, fully.con- firm the warlike features of the intelligence. Here war je now regarded as certain, and tho prospect is hailed universally with a delight and satisfaction which are not Gisguised, Ttaly sees in war an escape from tho ills ‘which surround ead are crushing her.

Though the report was unfounded it drew out the expression of the public opinion, and ina way which could not be misunde Later in the day they became satisfied of the falsity of the rumor, but they consoled themselves with the bolief that it was only alittle promature. The fight is surely coming, and they can wait, they say, for a day or two, but do not dream of waiting @ month. Ten days from this Italy will be ready, and then powder may be burned on the Po and Mincio, Pruasia is fully prepared to-day for the contest, as I am informed from the bestauthority. When Italy is’ ready wo may look for something more serious than diplomatic notes. During the past week the King bas issued a decree ordering the formation of twenty additional battalions of volunteers, under Garibaldi, and in addition thereto he has authorized the enrolment of two battalions of sharp- shooters from Genoa and other cities. Several additional companies of tersaglieri have been Kemed, together with a number of squadrons of cavalry. Indeed the Official Gaze'te is filled now with military decrees and orders, and the army is being rapidly augmented by the formation of new bodies of troops. No difficulty is ex- perienced in finding men. The trouble is what to do with thom. The volunteers now consist of forty battal- Jong, and this number will be increased in a few days by twenty additional Even this number will not suffice. Forty thovsand young men are in camp, and sixty thoueand more are praying for permission to enroll under Garibaldi. Tho volunteer force could be swelled to from one hundred and fifty to two hundred thousand men if the government would offer the slightest encouragement. Just at present it does not care to have a very powerful corps of liberals, ‘The voluntecrs represent tho rovolu- tionary element of Italy, and it Spe, as well that it should not be organized and armed. It will be of service somo day or other, but not just now, and it is always at hand. The corps of volunteers will, doubtless, be about thirty thousand strong, under the command of Garibaldi.

On the other hand, be recommends the inhabitants of Galicia to enter the corps of Austria. ‘ Were I," he says, ‘“‘an inhabitant of Galicia, I should cortainly defond with all my strength the system at present in vigor m Austria.” 0 legitimist and clerical journals of France arc loud in tholr praise of Austria and of her conduct. Had sho acted otherwise, they say, she would havo placed her- self ins false position. The Monde, of Pris, makes the aubjoined remarks:—In what do the reserves of Austria interfore with the programme fixed for the Conference ? There are legal acts oxisting: the Treaty of Zurich, the Convention of Gastein, the federal compact, which in accord with Austria forbids on the three points any terri- torial modification, Austria, therefore, is in the right.

According to the Vienna papers Queen Victoria has addressed a letter to the Emprass of the French, avking her to use every exertion on behalf of the preservation of peace. “* Austria,”’ says the Press of Vienna, ‘has condemned the neo-Prussian policy which places force above right. Avatria declares, in an official mannor, that Prussia has on every occasion threatened to offect annexation violence ; that already at Gastein she had contract ‘ag a means of intimidation, an alliance with the enemica of tho empire, on which ‘she now avowedly relies for support,” The Effect on Commerce.

The need of realizing under extreme pressure, which has been felt in London during the last tour weeks, has operated still more ft ly; and though the state of continental affairs may bi something to do in bringing things to a crisis in the city, we can at most only charge the three threatening belligerents with having raised the last breath which blew down the tower of cards, Nevertheless, in the depreciation of stocks and produce does proceed directly from the inse. curity of peace in Europe. There is a coincidence of circumstances which proves thus much. The greater the danger of war, the lower the quotations on the Lon- don Exchange; the better the hopes of peace, the higher the quotations.

The Crimean war arose in c: the Russian troops the Srontier of the At the termination of that war, by the treaty of Parig, the suzerainty of the Sultan over e provinces was solemnly recorded, although it was especially stipulated that the hospodars should be olected from among the natives of the provinces, and that treaty further declared that the exclusive right of protectorate over the provinces claimed by sia «should be transferred to the great Powers jointly who were partics to that treaty. As the interests of Moldavia and Wallachia wore not woll understood in Western Europe, a sort of joint diplomatic commission was sent by the great Powers who were parties to the treaty to inquire into the affairs of those provinces. Evontually, in consequence of the report of that commission, an ad- ditional convention was entered into between the great Powers, whereby it was stipulated that while the suzo- rainty of Turkey over the provinces was fully recognized, the inhabitants should have power to olect as hospodar of each province a native not loss than thirty-five years of age, whose father was also a native of the province. No doubt there had existed a party in Moldavia and Wallachia who were anxious for the separation of the provincos from Turkey. The first object of the party in endeavoring to carry out that design was to induce Turkey to allow them to elect a foreign ince as lospodar, That attempt not having een successful, they contrived to elect the same rson as bi for the two Principalitiea, By tak- ing this step they bad not violated the Paris Convention, pithoughs it was certainly an infringement of the spirit of the treaty, and the parties to arrangement repro- sented to the Turkish government that It would not be worth while to insist upon the ee hospodars. Tho Porte voluntarily accepted recom- mendations pf the great Powers, but made this reserva- tion, that in case of Prince Couza’s death or doposition, the two Assemblies shall bo convened, and the le should have the opportunity of deciding freely whether union or separation was most conducive to their interests. ‘The Porte made th's stipulation from no interested mo- tive, but because it entertainea a firm opinion that the supporters of the union and of a foreign prince formed a small minority, and that the groater on of the population were in favor of separation, Whether that opinion was right or wrong he would not discuss; but many persons acquainted with the Frinci- palities etill believed that separation would be more con- ducive to their ep and there was undoubtedly a very large party im Moldavia who objected to that princi- pality being morged into Wallachia, which was what the union really amounted to. The reservation of the Porte was all the great Powers. He would not go into the events of Prince Couza’s reicn; but one of his first acts was to destroy the landed aristocracy, by taking away their lands and dividing them among the peopie. After a fow years, as th ‘new, there was a gencral rising against him, and he was leave the coun- try, Now, the proper course for the Princtpalities to have taken would have been to wait till the Porte, in connection with the great Powers, should have however, of pursul cratic party that a tho people to declare by plébi: them, without any roference to treaty engagements the Porte and the great Powers.

Whether, how- ever, we might think it advisable for the Principall- ties to be separate or united was not the question, for we were boand by this treaty, and if it was to be set aside only ten years after being solemnly entered into, what treaty, he would ask, could be regarded as binding ¢ What, then, had the Powers done? election of Prince Charles, of Hohenzollern, Moldavians and Wallachians, their ropresontatives as- sembled in conference at Paris, and conjotntly—for France, contrary to what Lis honorable friend supposed, acted with us—issued directions to their consuls in the Princtpalities not to take any steps which might commit them to the recognition of Prince Charies. The Powers were bound by treaty to take this step, and they could not honestly have acted otherwise. Now his honorable friend seemed to think that the Porte had no right to intertere without the consent of the other Powers; but in that he was quite mistaken, It was true that an ar- ticle in tho treaty stipulated that, in case of the disturb. ance of internal ordor in the Principalities, the Turkish goverfment should not interfere except with the consent Of the other Powers. This, however, was not a question of internal order, but was an infringement of sov- ereign rights of the Sudan.
