— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Monpay, Feb, 17-6 P.M. ‘The gold market has been very firm to-day, although devotd of speowative activity, and it advanced steadily from 140% at the opening to 141%; just prior to the adjournment of the board. Subsequently, however, the price declined to 1414. The bulls endeavored te make capital out of the decision of the Supreme Cours with wespect to the McArd‘e case, but ail such attempts to create ® mountain Out of ® molebill are ridiculous. Owing to the “short” interest having beon considerably Ajmereaged witbin the last few days there is a more active borrowing demand for coin, and logns were made sat 8, 4, 436 and 5 per cent respectively for carrying. ‘The gross clearings amounted to $56,035,000, the gold -dalances to $1,239,939 and the currency balances to $1,833,350. {| The bulls im Erie are making that took remarkably mercarial in its movements, and the speculative director ds supposed to regard the prospect before him with ‘dismay, and on the principle that all Work aad no play smakes Jack @ dull boy, it is not impossible that be may De too obtuse to comprehend the situation. If this is mehe may, however, be excused, as it is probable that wo ‘one cleo outside, or perhaps inside, of the bull ring” has any clearer conception of the why and tho wherefore of the Erie excitement than he has. It is ‘wenerally believed that he is in what is commonly galled a Ox, and that he will be sent to s reens, ‘whatever that may mean, before his opponents have one with him. It would appear that he hes broken faith with the gpeculators who were once his friends, ‘and that, owing him a gradge, they have determined to ‘ering him to an accou To this ond one of bi ‘eo-directors, Mr. Frank Work, of the firm of Work, Davis & Barton, stockbrokers, has brought a suit against him to restrain him from making any further ‘use of the fifty-four thousand shares of stock upon ‘which he lent three millions of dollars to the Erie Com- pany more than two years ago, Mr. Work, in his com- plaint, contends very properly that Mr. Drow, as a ‘trustee of the company, has no right to apply the stock ‘Dypothecated with him to his own uses, as he has been -@oing; and he furthermore claims that Mr. Drew should ‘account for the stock to the company at the highest “Price at which it has sold since the hypothecation ‘took placo—namely, 97 a 98, the extreme point touched ‘tn 1866. Moreover, Mr, Drew’s official position in rela- tion to the company, it 1s argued, disqualified bim from making a loan to it in the mannor he did, and therefore the contract betweon Mr. Drew and the company should ‘Be declarod void. The company has in all hypothecated ‘Bfty-elght thousand shares of new stock, but Mr. Berdell, its former president, holds four thousand sbares of it, upon which he alike with Mr. Drow has Joaned sixty dollars per share. Whether Mr. Drew is “short” or “long” of Erie at the present time is a dis- Puted question, but those who. profess to be able to see ‘further through a stone wall than the rest of mankind doclare that he ts “long,” and therefore profiting by the ‘Present riso; but the suit referred to has, of coarse, no ‘open reference to his posi'ion on the market, although 4t is obviously open to the suspicion of being part of a stockjobbing opera‘ion, and speculation of late hi ‘taken a very litigious turn. The bulls arm themeelves with Anjunctions, the bears defend themselves by injunctions, ‘and « legal muddle at once presents itself. But whether ahe motives which actuate the plaintiff in this case are disinterested or otherwise is immaterial. The question 4s, has Mr. Drew abused his trust; and if all that 1s al- leged be true, there is no doubt that the plaintiff will make out a good case ; and that of Sir John Dean Paul, ‘the banker in London, who was sentenced to penal servi- tude for fourteen years for appropriating to his own uses securities entrusted to him, is cited in this connection, Of course Wall street is more interested in knowing what ‘the course of the stock will be under all this, and if the “Balls are to be believed it will rise high ; and from the fact of its being relatively much below the general mar- ‘ket, ite tondency is likely to be upward on its merits, we Y mention that a copy of the injunction invoived In the procesdings of Mr. Work was served upon Mr. Drew this morning, and that Mr. Richard Schell is surety for Mr. Work. | Tho bank statement for the week ending on Saturday, efficialty published this morning, differs in no respect from the figures already published. These, although Jess favorable than was generally anticipated, bave had 20 perceptible effect upon the temper of speculation on ‘the Stock Exchange or upon the views of bauk officers, A comparison of the last bank return with the state. monts for the corresponding weeks in 1867 and 1866 shows the following changes:— Feb. 16, 186 Loans, 828 Feh, WS, 1868.

Following the call there was increased pressure to sell, and Erie sold down to 767; and New York Cen- tral 132 4 1323;. At the first regular board the market ‘was unusually active anda very large business was ‘transacted. Prices were higher than between the ‘boards, and on the second call there was a further im- provement, New York Central selling at 123% and Erie at 77%. The clique in Marietta and Cincionati made the mock active, but the street is evidently indis- posed to bite at the bait held out to it, and very wiroly eo.

Immedi- ‘ately afterwards Erie sold up to 78%; but it subse- quently reacted, and at the second regular board at tho second call it declined to 77%, larze sales having been ‘meanwhile made by the bulls to realize profita.

The activity and excitement noticed last week as leading features of the real estate market are again apparent and may be also quoted as charac- terizing operations in real estate this week as well, The remarks made here some few days since respecting the Beekman leases and the im- provements likely to result from the sale of hold- ings of that nature have since then been the sub- ject of much conversation among the property holders, dealers, capitalists and speculators. A copperhead journal, published in this city, has most illogically endeavored to controvert the position stated here, suggesting that such & disposition of real property barred” any enterprise and retarded building, as though it were likely men would buy leases at @ premium, and, having to pay ground Tent, taxes and asseasments, make no effort to render the same productive. Without assuming to advocate either leasehold or freehold, that not be- ing the province of this department, it may, how- ever, be stated that such argument, being simply absurd, needs no contradiction, and beyond that, that purchasers, knowing what they require, are probably the best judges of their own bargains, In this connection it has been learned that the ex- ample of Mr. Beekman in bringing his estate into the market has been followed by others, a large lot of the Livingston property in the same neigh- borhood having been disposed of at private sale, on terms somewhat similar, with the addition o f providing purchasers with means to build on rea- sonable terms. It is expected that much more of that property up town which has been so long tied up in estates, and consequently useless as affording the means of the city’s progress, will be brought into the market and rendered available for the purposes of exten- sion. The high prices w prevail now, offering inducements not anticipated some years ago to sell or lease, has caused the breaking up of many of these old farms and their disposition as building lots. In this way the Zbrowski property has been turned into Boulevard lots, the Beekman and Livingston estates have been leased in portions, and the expiration of the lease of Jones’ Wood is looked forward to as likely to bring that under the hammer, Only one sale took place at the Exchange room yesterday—viz, by Joseph Maguire, under the direction of Gratz Nathan, referee, of a first clas#brown stone house and lot on the south side of T'wenty-fifth street, com- mencing eighty fect east of Sixth avenue. The sale was weil attended and the bidding spirited, the property being knocked down to George J. ‘Tyson for $2,0000. to Oftcial Trassters of I Estate and Leases Recorded The following are the official transfers of rea! estate and leases recorded in New York and Kings and Richmond counties yesterday: — TRANSVERS IN NEW YORK CITY, Broadway, Nos 112 and 114......00seseee--20 Tharidge st, © 8, 15,8 ft 8 of Grand st, 25.4267.6 Houston st, 8 s, bet Eldridge and Allen. 25x Lewis and Delancey sts, ¢ © corner, 16.8x62 Sullivan st, lot No 396, 25x100 12th st, @ 6, 450 fre of Tih av, 35th st, #8, 150 ft w of 9th av, 28th st, #8, 100 ft © of Sth av, 33.4x98. 44th et’ and 10th av, # cor, 4’ lots, 100: 45th at, n 8, 100 ft @ of 10th 48th st, @ 8, 275.6 ft @ of 8tb O7th st, 8 8, 125 ft w ol OLD av, 2075.6. 724 st, n 9, 250 ft w of 11th av, 50x204. 4 Toth st, n& 385.11 ft w of av A, 256x102: 1,200 Tiuh st, as, 299.8 fe w of 11th av, 100:502x100,1% * 62.9. + 7,000 ‘350 ft e of oun ‘ay, 2 io 791n at, D 2 Slot st, 5 5, 200 fee of 10th av, 8 lots, ‘75x102,2.. . 6,750 120th at, 08, 174 ft-e of Bth av, 25x100.10 129th at, ng, 100 fLe of 8th ay, eee 129.b st, na, 100 (t © of 8th a 2 ‘Ay C, ws, 23 ts of 17th st, 4 lots, 88x92, 20,800 Greenwich av, No 49. ton av, No 9 Pe ae Ghane es, 215 fta of 9th si hall part, 23x00. 9th av, WB, 29.5 {tn of St, 20x80, Lots 428, “424 and 76x130.11..

First Lecture—The Gorilla and its Habits. M. Du Chailln dolivered, at Stelaway Hu'l, last even- ing, the first of his three lectures on topics suggested by his experience as one of the most successiul ex- plorers of Equatorial Africa, A large aud iniellixent audience listented with interost to his arapbic descrir- tions of the gorilia and its habits, His valuable an@ extensive collection of diagrams and pictures happily illustrated bis theme. And whatever we may think of the alleged affinity of tho gibbon, the ourang-vutang, the chimpanzee and tho gorilla to man, wo cannot fail to be impreased by the positive additions to our knowledgo of the mature and babits of tho gorilla and its brethren, for whieh the world is indebted to the learned and indefati- gable travelier, M. Du Chaiile, His second lecture, “A Journey to the Caunibal Country,” is announced for Wedneeday evening, Fobruary 26, and his third, “The Negr Tribes of Equatorial Africa," for Friday evening, February 28. Both will be delivered at Steinway Hall. In commencing his lecture last evening M. Du Chaillu remarked that he desired the auditory to travel with him ¢o the wilds of Africa and bring themselves thus face to face with tho gorili, They woule also study somewhat the characteristics of the chimpangee, the ourang-outang and the gibbon, and con- clude by comparing their bony frames with the frame of man, Firat let me tell you, continued the lecturer, that the country I have explored for nearly twelve years is nothing else than an immense forest, extending north and south of the equator from two to three de- grees on either side, and eastward as far as man ever went, The natives know not where it ends. -Miles after miles I have travelled without hearing the song of a@ bird, the chattering of @ mon- key, or seoing the footstep of a gazelle, The humming of insects, tho failing of a teaf or the gentle murmur of some hidden stream came only on my oars to broak the deadness of this awful silence and disturb the stillnees of this the grandest solitude that man can possibly behold, Such is the country where the gorilla has its home, In the forests of these equa- torial regions, where wild nuts, fruits and berries abound, the monster finds its food, and roams at | ire unmolested by man. | remomber well tho first time caught a glimpse of a gorilla Iwas on my way to the cannibal country, and had reached a place where once a village had been built, a degenerated kind of sugar cape growing on the vory spot whore tho houses formerly stood, when my men per- ceived what throw us into the greatest state of excitement, Here and there the cane was beaten down, torn up by the roots and lying aboutin fragments, My men looked at cach other in silence, and muttered the word ‘‘nguyla,”’ woich is the name they give to the gorilla, followed the traces with some of the pariy who were braver than tho rest; and baving taade suro that the animal (or animals) was pot far of, we came back as we had agreed to the women and men we bad left behind. in order not to alarm the gorillas, we moved the whole party a ttle way forward, leaviaz atl the men except five to take care of the women, who had a hvely fear of the avimal, consequent on the many stories current among the tribes of women baving beon carried away by them ioto the woody Ex amining our guns carefully we started in chase. I confess I was never wore excited in my life, for 1 had heard of the vast strength and terrible ferocity of the beast, and was anxious to moet with an animal which, since the days of Hanno, the Carthagevian admiral, had never been seen by awbite man. Judging {rom tho tracks it was apparent that there Were several gorillas, and my sensations were indescribable when T came ta sight of the footprints of the acimal. There was some- thing terribly human in them, The heel was deeply marked on tho soft ground, but the traces of tho toes were slight’ We saw distinctly where they bad run on all fours, and where, from time to time, they had seated themselves to eat the cane they had borne off. At last we descended a hill, and as we came to a stream at the foot of it 1 noticed that the water had just been dis- turbed. We crossed the stream on a fallea log, and there saw many evidences of the recent preseuce of the gorila, Our approach was very cautious, We wore dividedinto two parties; my Alrican cotmrades, Mengai, Makenda and Ugola forming one, while Yeava and my- self formed the other, I confess I was 60 excited tbat Toould distinctly hex: the loud pulsations of may heart, and I feared at one time they might prove fatal. We surrounded the granite block bLeuind which Makenda supposed the gorilla to be hiding. With guns fn hand (cocked) we advanced through the dense wood which, even at midday, cast @ gloota over the whole scene. i looked at my men and saw that they wore even ingreater excitoment than myself, Slowly we passed on through the dense bush, lest we should alarm the beasts, Ma- Kenda and tls companion going to the right’ and mysolf and Yeava to the fell, Un‘ortunately hi got in advance of me, The watchful anim saw him, Suddenly I was startied by a strange half human, devilish cry, and bohvid four goriilas runuing in the (hick of the forest. Wo tired, but hit nothing. ‘Then we rushed in pursuit; but they knew the woods better than wo did and could run faster. 1 caught a glimpse of one of the auimais afterward, but an intor- venting tree spotied my aim and J did nos fre. When we could pursue uo farther we returned to our camp, where the women and men wore anxiously expecting us. Ag they ran on their bind;legs these juriilus look fearfully like hairy men—thetr beads dowa und their bodies inclined forward, ‘The whole appearance was like méh rapning for their lives, and I ceased to wonder that tho natives have the wildest superstition: cuacorn- ing these “wild men of the woods.” Aa we laid by the fire in the evening, before going to sloep, the adventurca ol the day were talked over by tho natives, and hence caine some Curious sBlories respecting the xorilla, These were as they aro bolloved, aud not usa stranger would be aj out ‘by questions. One of them was, that two women of the Moudemos tribe Wore walking togetbor through the wood, when sud. dealy an iinmene gorilla stepped into the path ciutching one of the women boro hor off, ju spite of the screams and struggles of Loth. The other won turned to tho v and related the her companion was given up as lost, prise, therefore, when, a few daye after, size returned to the village. She related tha: she badevoutually escaped from the goriila *Yes," said one of tue ndtives, must haye been a mam who had been changed ito @ gorilla; wn opinion which was received with agrunt of approval; for nm, these poor natives believe, are cb into gorillas— @ theory savoring vomembat of the 4 nigralion of souls. Several days wore subsequent!s ot in trate less endeavors to see a gorilla, but at last ove us to the canulbal country, where I remained ny ‘The lecturer then deseribed his firss oaf inter With the goriila im this cannibal country as follows :—As we were creeping along in a silence which mado a heavy broath seem loud aad distinct the woods wore filied with the tremendous barking roar of the beast.

His eyos began to fiaeh fercer as we stood on the defensive, and the crest of suort hair Which siood on his forehead began to twitch repeatadiy up and down, while bis powerful teeth were shown as he cent forth athundering roar.

The groat toe is, perhaps, the most char- acteristic peculiarity in the human structure, Ix is tbat modification which makes the difference between the foot and thé band. In the degree of its approach vo the development of hallux, or big the quadru- manous animal makes a true step in affinity to man. But in the gorilla, as in other apea, the thumb, by posi- tion, diverges from the other toes at an angle of sixty degrees; bence the foot of the gorilla is simply a hand of immense atrength. The number of tecth in gorilia and in all tho other man-like apes 1s the same asin mas. They bave four incisors, two cavines, four false molars and six true molars in eaco jaw, or thirty- two teeth in all, Their milk d:ntition cons'sts of twenty teeth, asin the human child. The Hottentots and the Australians have the smallest cranial capacity among the human races—sixty-six to sixty-eight cubic inehes— while the largest capacity yet observed in a male gorilia ta only thirty-four and a half—-nearly one-half less than in the loweat savage, It is true that the average capacity betweog that lowest savage and that of the highest Cau- casian !s very great, for in the latter race the capacity of the cramum has been found to be one bundred and fourteen cubic inches; hence there is a difference of fitty- One inches be:ween the two, while the difference of Drain between the lowest man and the highest gorilla is only twenty-nine cubic inches, but then the leap is sud- boman family. about two years ‘om twenty to twen y-two cubic inches, Sup. Posing a subsequent development equal im measure to that of man, we would have an animal of high grade of intelligence, But this development dovs not take place, The actual increase in brain in the adult gorilla, or other anthropoid apes, over the young is very slight The head incroases in size, Weight, with age; but it is tho bone which grows into 2 hard, firm brain case. The brain itself reraaing almost without increase of weight or size. ‘This proves conclu- sively that the animal hag very limited powers of intei- ligonce; and from my own observations [ believe the limit of that inteliigence may be reached in a single year or two, The condyles of the occiput in man are brought forward to the base of the skull, and by this the balance of the head on the néck bone, which has a shght tendency forward, ‘The arms of man aro in moro symmetrical proportion than in apes, and his whole frame proclains that he is made to’ walk erect; any other position would be painful to bim And if the similarity between man and the brute creation wore even st:ll closer than it ts, cannot the great Creator say to tue beasts of the field, “ous far shalt thou go toward the likeness of man, but no furthor; thou shalt not speak”?

Many and many days were spent by mo in the study of nature while in Africa; and many, very many pleasant hours were thus whi-ed away during the years 1 spent in that far-off land. But pleasure reigned not alwaya., There were many days of hunger aud slarvation, of sickness, and what is far worse, there were many days when the strong will that guided me gave way—days when 1 asked myself if 1 would ever come back here-—days when I folt so wretohed in my loveliness that I cried like a child, for I wanted to see my friends.
