2 FINANCIAL AND C OMMERCIAL, Sarvrnay, July 23-6 P.M The price of gold to-day has has been almost station- ary, the highest quotation being 150%, and the lowest 150. The transactions aro unusually small, and the Iending rate, after rising as high as 1-16th in favor of the lender closes “fat,” showing that coin is not go scarce for delivery as ithas been for some days past, The speculation in gold has for the present lost much of its activity, as, althongh there are a number of persons who look for lower prices, still thero is a good deal of uncer- tainty as to the future movements of the market, and in the present redundant and depreciated state of the cur- rency a high premium on gold, as compared with cur- rency, 1s thought to be inevitable. There is, however, ‘Dut little speculation in the gold room, and the stock market has engrossed the chief attention of the excited multitude who crowd the precincts of the Exchange, ‘The current prices of gold to-day are subjoined— Time. Price, The price during the week has not risen higher than 15034, except on Monday, when there were a few trans- actions as high as 1514. ‘The following table shows the highest and lowest quotations for each of the last six Lowest. 150 150 150 150 The exportation movement for the weck amounts to about one million and a half, of which the Pereire to-day takes out $300,020; the City of Paris, $110,766; the Her- mann, $23,300, and the Allemannia, $80,000 The ship- ments on Wednesday by the Persia were $925,904, and those of the last thirteen weeks will, therefore, compare as follows:— Amount, «$1,247,240 The stock market opened with considerable animation. At the ten o'clock boards there was some excitement in Pittsburg, of which over 6,00 shares wero sold, the price going up to 86 a 863g. Michigan Southern also was ac- tive at 84and Northwestern rose to 363g. The movement in Fort Wayne was scarcely so obvious, but there were some sales as high as 10133. At the reg lar session there was an active demand for government bonds, and it was reported that large orders were in the market for seven-thirty bonds, The rumors Were vague and contradictory as to the origin and amount of these orders; but it was affirmed that they ag- grogated at least two and a balf millions, and while some Persons surmised that the government was in the mar- ket aa a purchasor, tho bost informed persons discredited the rumor, and it was stated that the purchases wore for foreign account, and with a view to obtain the long gold bearing bonds, into which during the noxt two years the seven thirties will be convertible, Under these ru- mors the seven-thirties advanced {, and the five-twen- ties of 1865 34 per cent. Sixes of 1881 were also strong at alight improvement in the quotations, In railroad shares there was a fair amount of activity, tho sales of Pittsburg alone amounting to 6,000 shares at 85% & 86%. Toledo also advanced 1%, Hllinois Central 15, Rock Island 34, and Michigan Southern %, The movement im Erie was scarcely sustained, and, although there was a fair amount of sales at 66, the quotation fell off after the board to 64% a 64%, there being very little disposition om the part of outsiders either to buy of to sell. Of the miscellaneous securities ‘Western Union Telegraph was the most active, the price rangicg (rom 65 9 5534. Boston Water Power sold at 943¢ and Mariposa preferred at 26%. At tho one o'clock open board there was no change ‘worthy of note. Reading was im fair request at 111%, Rock Istand at 1003; and Northwestern at 36, Rock. Island being firm at 1003g. Government securities were rather more in demand, and the prices of the frst board were fully sustained. The afternoon board being as usual omitted there was but little doing, and the current quotations at the close of business were as under:—New York Central 1043; a 104%, Eric 6430 647%, Reading 110% #111, Michigan Bouthern 837, a 84, Pittsburg 85% a 86, Toledo 114% a 115, Rock Island 100% 2101, Northwestern 36 a 3634, Northwestern proferred 653, a 65%, Fort Wayne 101% a 1013s. Mariposa proferred advanced to 26% bid, and Quicksilver closed at 4975. Petroleum and mining stocks are flat, and the volume of business is extremely small. At the momning board Bennehoff Run closed 10c. higher than at the same time yesterday, solling at $5 80; New York Gold 60, selling at $1 20, Consolidated Gregory Gold was 26c. lower, selling at $20 50. Brevoort sold at $1 25, Benton $1 45, Downieville Gold 85¢., Keystone Silver 10c,, Wallkill 90c,, Quarts Hill $4 (b, 10). Foreign exchange is dull and the tendency of quota- tions is rather lower. Bankers’ sterling at sixty days is quoted at 1085, and has sold as low as 108}. Three days’ bilis are selling at 100% a 1103{. Commercial Dills at 106% a 107%{. Thero is little demand and few bills are offering. The money market is easy at 4.05 per cent, and com- morcial paper is scarce and passes freely at 5 a 7 per cent for choice names. ‘The business transacted at the Sub-Treasury in this city to-day was as follows:— Recetpts $1,789,002 For customs. .....$454,000 Payment 1,894,756 Gold notes, 400,000 nee 904, The importations of dry goods at this port for the ‘week ending July 26 compare as follows with those of the previous weex:— —July 10—— ——-July 28 Consump'ion. hye.

Hanesns’ Prorontat History or THe Gaeat Re- BELLION. ‘The Harpers have presented to the public an elaborate book in this history of the rebellion. It isa compilation: from a large portion of that mass of matter which was published in the daily press of the country, and in the metropolitan press chiefly, with some references to official documents, The work was commenced during the war, and at an early part of it; and though the com- pilers profess to be impartial, every one must know that impartial history could not be written under such cir- cumstances, A true history of the rebellion and the events of the war could not be written yet by any Northerner or Southerner, if even it could by an impartial foreigner, Harpers’ book is history in a Northern point of view with a great deal of Northern feeling and prejudice running through it, just as a book compiled by Pollard is history in a Southern point of view. We do not say the compilers were not honest in the selection of their matter and in their comments. ‘They may not have intended to falsify history; but their minds wore warped by sectional fecling and ideas. It could not be otherwise. Then the Harpers are enter- prising publishers, who make books to suit the popular taste of their customers, without having any of the elo- vated ambition of learned and able historians. How- ever, the book is not without some value. A great deal of seattered information has been collected together which may sorve the future historian, who will be able to sift the materials and compare them with other mater-als, This volume, which is folio size, ends with the close of the Peningular campaign in 1862. It is elaborately illustrated, after the spread eagle and sensational style of our pictorial magazines and weeklies. There are two hundred and forty-nine illustrations of scenes and inci- dents, thirty-two maps and plans, and two hundred and fifty-six portraits, Some of the illustrations of scenes ‘are croditable enough, in an artistic point of view, though we all know that a great deal in them must be credited to the artist’s imagination. Most of these ilustrations, which have bech published before, * from our artist on the spot,” are fancy sketches, With rogard to the so-called portraits of eminent men and a portion of the illustrations, we cannot speak so woll, They have a yory cheap shoddy stamp about them and look fearfully ghastly, The Southern men espe cially have painfully forbidding portraits; whether pur- posely made so or not we can notsay. Ifo, it wouid be in keeping with the spirit of the work and with the purpose, probably, of pandering to the taste and preju- dice of people by making all the Southerners look like ghastly, hard-featured conspirators and murderers. Were a history similar to this compiled by Southernors and for the Southern market, it would have probably correspond- ing defects with regard to the North and Northerners. That, & wo said before, must be expected from auy his- tory written now. We cannot, howover, let the appear- ance of such a book pass by without protesting against its being called a true or impartial history. ‘3 ANNALS oF THE DupLEY OnsERVATORY. Weed, Parsons & Co,, Albany. A largo portion of this volume is occupied in a descrip- tion of the Dudley Observatory buildings and instruments and in a history of the establishment of this excellent in- stitution. The concluding portion gives the result of work performed in astronomical science since labors were com- menced at tho Observatory up to the present year. All this, while highly interesting and useful to men of sci- ence, will not interest much the general reader. Most of our citizens are acquainted with the manner in which the Dudley Observatory at Albany was estab. lishéd—by the munificent gift by Mrs, Blandina Dudley of seventy-six thousand dollars and bequert of thirty thousand for this objoct, and the liberal donations made by othors in Albany and im the city and State of New York, till the aggregate cash donations exceeded a hundred aad fifty thousand dollars. We need not recur to these well known facts, except to remark that in this, as in evorything else, we perceive the large and liberal spirit of the citizens of this State ‘and city whorever science or art calls for aid or charity invokes. The Dadley Obscrvatory, though only a short time in existence, ts maturing rapidly in usefainess. It ‘bas already a proud name in the scientific world. We have no doubt it will attain, in time, the same position New York ocoupies to the rest.of. tho Union, » pre-omi- ‘nence worthy of its founders and of the State. Its peri- Odical reports will be looked for with increasing interest Vol. I. every year. Wao Goss Tazre? on, Maw anv Events. By “Sentinel” (William H. Bogart). Carleton, New York. The character of this work is hardly expressed in tho title, It is neither more nor less than a book of anec- dotes of prominent Americans, beginning with Washing- tom and coming down to Edward Everett and Zachary Taylor, Traits of individual character of importance in forming a correct opinien of the illustrious men of our country, which we do not find in the more serious reoords of history, are exhibited here, These anecdotes give us really a clearer insight of the true and complete character of the public men spoken of, with the defects as well as good qualities, than the writings of Bancroft or other sober historians, Tho author seems to de- light in presenting these contrasts, which many other writers avoid from fear of damaging the beauty of their pictures, He even ventures to tell us of the little domestic jars between George and Martba Wash. ington. He does not think any man or woman porfect, or that the defects found in the character of illustrious men should lessen our admiration for their services and the geod that is in them. The object of the author appears to have been to amuse and instruct at the same time, Any. one who has been much in Washington can relish his anecdotes; for such as he relates are the staple of conversation among old public men. Wherever a group of the old statesmen, politicians or public men are found, at the hotels, io pri- ‘vate circles, or aboat the Capitol, the same or similar stories about former eminent public men may be heard. ‘Mr. Bogart, who seems to have been a good deal with that class of persons, carefully picked up the anecdotes and sketches of which his book is composed. He has given them in a simple, gossiping style. On the whole, “Who goes there f’’ is an amusing and instructive little volume. Tax Ovp Mencuants ov New Yore Crry. By Walter Barrett, Clerk. Fourth series. Carleton: New York. We are not surprised that this book is going through a fourth series; for it must be interesting to a largo class of the people of this city. Take the men of whom Mr. Barrett writes, their families and acquaintances, all of whom want to see the book, and we can understand the demand for it. Outside of New York it will not be so much read; for the gossip about these oldjmerchants can not be as interesting to those who did not know them; ‘but the author may congratulate himself on finding a merous class of readers here. He tells us in a simple, conversational style, and often with a pleasing quaintness, all about the men who con- tributed to build up the business of this grand commer- cial emporium; how they started tn life, what their habits were, what fortunes they amassed, who they mar- ried, what families they had, with many amusing anec- dotes about their business and career, It isa curious jumble, but very ploasant reading matter. His gossip. ing skotches hit some of our wealthy aristocracy pretty hard, but we feel there is a stamp of honcsty in all he enys, This genial old author has used his memory to qood advantage, as is shown by tho manner in which his sketoher aro rehshed by the public.

We were led to make those remarks from reading the book before us, The author has written some not unmusical verses and displayed some art in the construction, There is, too, in them what we find in the productions of a vast number of as- Pirante for poetic fame at the present day—a good deal'of ambition and « striving to awaken the divine spirit of poetry.

The author of “Christine and other poems,” has some fire and an active imagination, which might be cultivated so as to give him a very respectable position among the “poets” of the day; but, as he has not @ great deal of pootic genius, he should study poetry as an art.

Pani, July 13, 1866. Of all the duties imposed on us by society there is, Perhaps, not one more importunate than that called ‘morning visiting,” which, contrary to all logic, is not at all carried on in the morning hours, but seems to have been instituted for no other purpose than that of wast- ing the best portion of opr time in idle pursuit and useless babble, I do only call the habit of spending the hours from two to five in gossip both idle | and useless, but Isay it is pernicious, and that these quiet drawing-room receptions, as they are now carried on, are made more baneful in their effects than the read- ing of avowedly bad Freach novels, Itis a notorious fact that those ladies who are overscrupulous in going their morning rounds are great mischicf makers, news- mongers and fearful talkers, Thoy have g natural pen- chant for discussion, and catch up every rumor asthey pro- ceed from house to house, which they spread and propa- gate as if it were gospel truth. They are walking regis- ters of all the births, deaths and marriages that bave come within their hearing since they ‘came out’’—and, indeed, no better expression could be applied to that pro- cess by the help of which young people leave their egg- shells after careful training under the tender wing of u mothorly governess. ‘ When girls emerge from the obscurity of the study into the splendor of a well fighted ballroom they rua less risk of turning prematurely worliwise than when they expand by degrees, after having been initiated into the wiles of society by dint of “visiting with mamma at Mrs. Takemdown’s or at Madame Hautenton’s.” ‘These aro the hotbeds of fominine diplomacy in the arts of “innocent seduction,” tutlet, scandal and egotism. But, will it be objected, those who frequent society must follow its laws. Girls must learn that all is not gold that glitters, and also to distinguish right from wrong. Better far that they should go through this initiating process with their mothors and in ladylike company than bo left to pick up evil out of books or from hear- say, Lanswer to this that the knowledgo of right and wrong is called conscience, and exisis in every human breast without tho collaboration of any worldly wiso- acres, If a young lady were taught during these visits to put in a good word for an absent party wien ‘alsely accused or encouraged to recall some attenuating quality where- with to obliterate his dedciencies; or, again, wore sho simply to say she preferred the practice of virtue to hearing it praised with high-flown encowiums, I should be reconciled to morning meoiings, and think they atoned for a good deal of evening absurdity. As itis, whole hours are spent in dissecting one’s friends, or at least as much of them as is apparently their own, and what is not is subjected to no less harsh criticism. “Mile. P.’s nose! Whata nez/’’ and then a pun will escape from some one in the depths of an armetuir, who says:—‘‘Ladios, why complain of her ner? in com- pany such as yours every one ought to bo bien né.”” Horrid pun; but I have beard it, and maintain that it is historica!._ “ .

Very truly, it was; but independentiy of my aversion for all morning visiting, I had heard the Prin- cess talked of a whole winter and had formed a strange idea of her receptions, I knew her to be the oracle des modes in the Faubourg St. Honoré, tho mame des poites imthe Faubourg St. Germain, and the beau ideal of ai the iiterati and painters in Paris. 1 concluded she was orther a précie’s: im the styic of ‘ile, de Scuderg, thon gh not so ugly,or one of Molii re’s stereotyped fen mes savantes, but not so affected, or a Madame Stat ‘without her large foot—so large that when she became famous it was called her pied-de-rtae’, (read piedestal); or a Madame Récamier, bit not in such very low bodi: fact, she filled in my mind th» vague space of a grand souv-nir without any of the pecul arities attached to the same.
