FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Sexpar, Angust 2, 1867. The railroad share market was depressed and unset- tled during the greater part of last week, but on Friday afternoon the speculative teeling became stronger, and oa Saturday moruing prices advanced throughout the lst, Erie selling up to 70\. When it became keowa, however, that the bank statement was Likely to show an {important decline in iegai teuder notes and deposits, there was a rush to sell, and Erie relapsed to 60); a 5. ‘The flurry was, howover, causeless, and when it is dis- covered that motey continues easy there will be a dis- position manifested to buy back the stocks which were so suddenly sold, Tue docrease in the tiems referred to is not atirivutable to tho Western drain, to anything like the extent that 4s supposed, two other causes having operated to pro- duce the change, The principal of these 1s the drain 4nto the Sub-Treasury to pay for the gold rold by the government; and the next, the fact that the country banks and others have sert to their correspondents ere August compound interest notes for redemption, ‘egainst which they have drawn bofore the banks at this contre have had time te collect the proceeds from the * Treasury, some delay necessarily attending the examin- ation of the packages containing the compound notes after their delivery to the Sub-Treasury. Thus it ts stated that of a total of twelve millions and a half pro- sented atthe Sub-Treasury for redemption since the 15th inst, only eight millions have been actually ‘paid. The difference is sufficient to account for ® portion of the decreaso in the two leading items ef the bank siatemout, and, together with ‘the Treasury gold movemont, reconciles any discrepancy which may seem to exist between the figures of the statement and the actual drain westward during the week. Im any event, however, there is nothing in the pre- - Gent aspect of monetary affairs to warrant apprehension. There will be no very materia! chance for a month or ix weeks to come, and then it is probable the supply will be fully equal to the demand a: or below the legal rate, The week closed upon an easy market at four per “cent on governments and five on mixed collaterals, while first class commercial paper was rated at 63¢ a7 per cent. The prevailing impression on the Stock Exchange wm that the largely increased earnings ‘which the railways cannot fail to show, week by ‘week during the remainder of the year, will \atimatate the demand for their stocks, and that an active ‘Dull speculation will be the result. As it is, there is only a brokers’ market, the outside support being very trifling, while the speculative feeling in the street is divided against itself, There is no knowing, however, what a day may bring forth in Wall street, At ® quarter to six on Saturday the stock market * @losed steady at the following quotations:—New York Central, 10434 & %; Erie, 69% a %; Reading, 104% a 34; Michigan Southern, 80% @ %{; Rock Island, 1023; a 56; Fort Wayne, 1044 a 3%; Northwestern, 45% a i: do, preferred, 693 9 %; Pacific Mail, 146%; Western ‘Union Telegraph, 43% a 5. ‘Among the miscellancous shares those of the old ex- press companies wore the firmest, and yesterday they experienced a sharp advance, attended with considerable activity, which was attributed to some new developments Growing out of the present contest between the old com- panies and tho newons, Adams closed at 767% a 77, and American at 7414. Government securities were dull and depressed up to * Thursday afternoon, when prices experienced a recovery under an improved demand, The dally conversions of seven- thirty notes of the August issue, which matured on the 15th inst., have been as understated at the Sub- Treasury cinco the beginning of the month, and less ‘than ten millions of the original three hundred millions remain unredeemed :— sug 150 4,550 August 19, A 20 3 i ++ 1,249,800 August 22. ; 1,817,000 August 23. It is probable that the Sub-Treasury will resume its purchases of sevon-thirty notes within a few days, and @ large amount of the funds now lying idle in its vaults ‘will be released. ‘The gold market was firm daring the early part of the ‘week, but towards the close it weakened under the in- creased abundance of cash gold. The receipts for cus- toms duties were large, averaging more than half a million a day, but the Treasury is/ understood to have eold more than its receipts, antl hence, to some extent, the decreas? of five millions in legal tender notes and fveand « half mil'ions in depomts which the state- mont of the associated banks for the week is likely to gbow. The export movement was very limited, the total epecie ebipped being little more than half a million. ‘The “short” interest is still large; but on Saturday loans wore made without jatorest and at 1 a 3 per cent per annem io favor of the lender of the coin. ‘The daily range of the reek was as follows: — 1,638,400 ‘The shipmonts of specie from the port during each of ‘the last fifteen weeks were as follows :— The foreign exchange market wes dui! bat on the whole ‘steady during the week, and at the close bankars’ bills on England, at sixty days, were quoted at 1005{ a %; at three days, 110 811034 ; commercial bills, 109 a 109%; bills on Paris at sixty days, 6.173; a 5.15; at three days, 5.15% & 5.12%. Other continental bills were rated ‘The general sented: the city was moderately active -Guring the past week, and prices were well maintained, and in some instances they showed an improving ten- dency. The demand for immediate consumption from retailers is increasing, the stocks beld by them being as stowing crops continue contradictory. the worm has done considerable damage, and the late rain storm is supposed to have inflicted much injury, ‘but Bo authentic advices have yet been received in re forencd to it, The accounts on the whole are, however, Promising, and from Alabama especially #0, The stock “of Cotto ‘at Liverpool on the 10th inst, aggregated 738,690 ba'es, and at London 88,932 bales, At the same Lime there were 66,600 bales of American and 645,230 of Indian afloat, making @ total of 1,563,852 bales, against 1,656,106 baies at the came time last year.

A detachment of cavalry appeared on the evening of the 10th ist., attempting to surprise the Piaza del Tinaco, but were repulsed with heavy loss by Colonol Pilar Matute, Colonel Lara Negrin met witb anotbor party at Palomas, Despite all the vigilance of the gor- ernment the revolution advances, The authorities of Carabobo have increased their activity in order to main- tain tranqaillity in that State, and they will act with decision to chastise the rebels, ‘The chief of the Tinaco party is Colonel José Gomez, Colonel Matute was again attacked yesterday; but being fully prepared for sack an emergency he repulsed the enemy. According to the Caracas press, al! was tranquillized after the above events, The revolution, they thought, failed ot all points, and the resolute attitede of the people, after the government denounced the plot, was enough to have effected it. They say that the govern- ment of the ‘First or head Designado’’ had provod itself suporiot to the emergency. He bad not only distin- guished ‘himself by his moderation and honesty in the admintetfation of the public funds, but also by his an. swerving desire of saving the material and econctnival interests of the country.

The siramship Ruahine, Captain Beal, arrived here iast might, making good her connection with the British and West India mail. She anchored about twenty-four hours alter her schedule time, owing wu a strong gale she encountered when about three days from the New Zea land coast. She brought twenty-two passengers for England,ten for New York and eix for other places; among the former were two bishops from New Zealand. The dates are:—Molbourne, Vict, June 30; Sydney, N.S.

Z., July 2; Lyttelton, N.Z, July 6, and Wellington, N, 7%, July 0, ‘Sne bad oa board about $200,000, in gold, and a very large mail, The tattor is easily accounted for by the fortunate circumstance that again the outward steamer bad arrived at Sydaoy carly on the morniag of the lst, While the ‘retura steamer left im tho afternoon of the hens mate, ennai atte the nyery Y ye time to answer 0 European and American correspon- dence, mn want was the case Om the 1st of June, wnen the ‘mail brought by tho Ruahine could be answered by the Kaikoura; and again, on July 1, when the letters fag rived by the Rakaia ‘in time tobe answered by the uahine, Besides this advantave, which ts daly bP egr by the public ia New South Wales, last steamer outward, the Rakaia, was bearer of several days’ jater news from trope via New York, than that received by Indian tolevraph and Peninsutar and Oriental sveamer. This, together with the bettor treatment and the pleasanter je via the Isthmus of Panama, makes the Panama line decidedly the popular one, which was cieariy demonstrated vy the fact that ‘the Peoinsular and Oriental steamer which lett mechan fl about the same time with the Ruahine, only took out one passenger. It is hoped that the safety of the vessels and the ex- actness of their itinerary will be mere guaranteed oy the establisbment of the coal depot on the island of Opara, The ship Midas nas already sailed from Sydney for Opara, with coal and stores ou board, aud on her re- turo to Australasia the Ruaahine will for the Orst time touch at she island, to replenish her sivck of coal aad provisions, SPECIAL cuanesa New South Wales. The Sydney Herald of the Ist of July records a moet disastrous visitation to the colony in the shape of floods and freshets thus:—Some of the most fertiie regions of the colony have, within the last ten days, been ioun- dated by fioods of unprecedented magnitude. - This visitation has not passed away without causing loss of life, thqngh happily the namber of perso ported to bave been drowned does not, at le greatest estimate, exceed twenty, That any should bave perished is truly lamentable. At one time it secemed inevita- bio that whole townships—Inhabitants as well as ¢heir possessions would be swept away by the ‘rushing ‘waters, the rescue of ‘hundreds can only be se aries ® merciful Providence. Raia seems to bave begun to fall in most parts of the- coloay on ‘Tuesday, the 18th of June, and in some places there was an almost incessant downpour until midday of Satur- day, tbo 22d. The weather cleared up on Sunday, and’ the waters everywhere began slowly to recede, and now there are disclosed to view scencs of desola- tion unatiorably distressing. Ia some places tie soul of farms has been washed ai ments below the flood I ‘barns, standing crops, farming implements, produce i live stock have not deen borne down by the current, ‘Many porsonsare invoived in utter ruin, Tho losecs, however, are not irremediab @ weather has con- tinued perfectly Que, and ti who a week ago wore appalled im the presence of th» milaely Conse or nature are once more hopeful and resolite 6 prompt ald afforded to tbe sufferers by their more fortunate neiehbors, by the government and by publiciy organ- ized benevolence, while averting the prospect of marry, tion, has perved the despondent with fresh energy, and ere long the dreary wastes which afow days ago were inland seas will ouce again be smiling with fertuity.

The Sydney Herald contains the following summary of ipter-colonial news :— A heavy flood has occurred at the Crocodile Creok gold- diggings, Queensiand, and caused damage to the extent of £2,000, A rush has taken place to the district of Rosewood, where some good sized nuggets have beca foued. People living in the neighborhood of the agricultural reserve, near Rockhampton, experieaced a slight shock of earthquake on the 13th of May, The diggings at the Morinish, Queensland, promise to turn up something as valuable as gold, in the shape of stones.
