FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ‘TUESDAY, August 4—6 P, M. The gold market has been very strong to-day, and the fuctuations were from 1455; to 14944, with the Closing transactions, prior to the adjournment, at 14634, after which the price rose to 146%. The daily Volume of business coutinues large, and the prevail- ing disposition of operators is to buy, the general belief being that the premium will rise much higher Within the next few months on commercial and Political grounds, and in view of the limited floating Supply of coin this is by no means improbable. The excitemeut attending the Presidential election is un- doubted!y favorable toa strong gold market, and the preponderance of imports over exports is re- @ulting in asteady outward drain of specie. The Sub-Treasury disoursed $93,000 in coin during the day. There bas been renewed excitement and a further break in Erie, which fluctuated between 57 and 60% dunng the day, but at the close it was weak at 573;. The bear movement in this stock, it is asvertained, Originated with strong parties, whose object is to Put it to a price between 40 and 50, where it will pay them to take hold of it with a view to con- trolling the next election. Meanwhile, by the fall they are promoting, they mean, if possible, to seriousiy cripple certain houses which have been working in opposition to their interests for a long time pasi, and the indications are that they will be sucoessful in depressing the stock to the desired Point, uniess some other support for it than has yet Presenied itself makes its appearance. Street rumor dwells on the fact that Messrs. Steward & Banker liave not taken their seats on the Erie board yet, and that Messrs. Vanderbilt and Drew a both inimical to the present Erie party, and that if these gentlemen, directly or indirectiy, choose to exert their strength they can do whatsoever they please with the stock. «Most of those in the co:bination now at work to “scoop"’ Erie out of the lauds of weak holdere are temporarily out of town, and the concert of action between them is hardly suspected by outsiders, but their efforts are of the most determined character, and Erie is a shut- tlecock in their hands. Although, therefore, it has fallen heavily already it is liable to fall considerably More, and the next few days, or even hours, will Practicaliy decide the next Erie election. The mar- ket for the stock has been entirely demoralized, and it has aiso had the bad effect of breaking the spirit of the bull movement in railway shares generally. Government securities continue dull, and there ‘was no material change in prices during the day, except for ten-fortics, which advanced to 1093¢ under the operations of some of the German bankers, who are speculating upon the fears of the People and endeavoring to create a false impression a3 to the value of these bonds. The latter have already rua four years, and therefore they have only six years longer to run, and they bear only five per cent inierest per annum; yet while they are selling at the price mentioned the five-twenties of 1868, which have at least five years to run, are selling at 109. The five-twenties are, therefore, relatively much cheaper, and an opportunity presents itself for the holders of ten-forties to convert them into five-twentics and make a handsome profit upon the transaction, A sharp upward movement in govern- ments is only a question of time, and Meanwhile the large dealers are buying up all the atocks otfered by weak holders and “short” sellers; but it is fair to say that the supply from these sources is very limited. At the close the market Was dul but steady at the subjoined quotations:— «l, 1581, 11534 @ 115%; coupon, 1881, 115% a 1095 & 10934; 5-20's, cou- Pon, 1862, 11434 a 114%; do., 1864, 110% @ 111; do., 1805, 112; a 11214; do., 1865, January and July, 1085 & 108%; do., 1867, 1087 a 109; 10-40's, registered, 1055, a 10594; 10-40's, coupon, 109 a 10944, Money continues extreniely easy to borrowers in good credit on satisfactory collaterals; but Erte is re- Jected as a collateral by tie United States Trust Com- Pany and nearly all the banks and private lenders. On @overnicat securities the supply is largely in excess of the demand at three per cent and, on miscellaneous Collaterais, although the general rate is four, there are not few exceptional transactions at the lower rate. Just now credits and margins are scratinizea with some severity, as it ts considered likely that the heavy break In Erie will result in failures, and lend- ers have lust conildence in the stock. A report is current on the street that the Erie Company has purchased the Bristol lie of Sound steamers, and damaging use is made of this, altiiough it is contra- @icted by (hose directors of the company who have been e:ecied directors of the steamboat company in question. At the commencement of business the stock mar- ket was unsettled by increased weakness in Erie, which, after opening at 62',, declined to 57. At the @pen board at ten o'clock, howover, it rallied to 69% a 69's, aud the rest of the list, which had yielded hiuly, became firme! At the first regaiar board prices were without material change, and on ‘the call Now York Central closed 2%, lower than at the same time yesterday, Erie $3, “Reading 1%, Michigan Southern tz, Cleveland and Pittsburg 24, Rock Island 'j, Fort Wayne 1';, Milwaukee and st Paul preterred 2, Ohio and Mi sixes, ex coupon, 1; new issue, 14; North Cayo- Mina sixes, ex coupon, %, and Missouri State sixes %.

TRE LATE GENERAL HALPIVE. Adjournmeut of the Inquest—Honor to the Dead. The inquest on the body of the late General Charles G, Halpine was commenced yesterday morn- ing at the Twenty-first precinct station house, before Deputy Coroner Knox, but owing, it is believed, to the fact that the post mortem examination ordered by Coroner Cornelius Flynn had not been completed, an adjournment was ordered until Thursday nexs, at the same time and place, Out of respect to the memory of the illustrious departed the outside of the station house was profusely draped with mourning, and similar signs of sorrow were displayed in the principal apartments of the building. Dr. Whitney, the family physician, and a large number of proml- nent gentlemen who had enjoyed the friendship of the deceased were present at the inquest, anxious to learn any further particulars that might be elicited concerning his last moments, but just as ths Deputy Coroner, commenced taking the statement of Dr. Swan, of the Astor House, the gentleman who attended General Halpine in his last momenta, @ message Was received from Coroner Flynn ordering anadjournment. Dr. Swan’s testimony, as far as it was taken, contained nothing beyond the particu- lars published in the Heraup of yesterday, saving the facts that on the application of the most ap- proved remedies the patient so far recovered from the state of collapse in which he was found as to vomit freely. The matter thus ejected from the stomach had no odor of chloroform. In accordance with the directions of the Coroner the autopsy was commenced at an early hour yester- day morning at the residence, 50 West Forty-seventh street. Doctors Knox, Lynch, Finnell and Morton have been appainied to make the necess. ay exami- nation, Professor Doremus, Dr. Whitney and a num- ber of the friends of the family were present at the commencement of the autopsy, Beyond the fact that the brain of the deceased weighed fifty-six ounces no particulars have transpired as yet. The condition of Mrs. Halpine is such as to occa- sion the greatest anxiety, Not having been in good health for some weeks previous, the shock occa- sioned by the terrible calamity which has befallen her has completely prostrated the heart-broken widow. Violent fits have succeeded each other in quick succession, and despite the skill of her physi- cian and the efforts of sympathizing friends it has been found impossible up to the present to assuage the grief or in any manner console the be- reaved lady. Owing to this truly lamentable state of aifairs no arrangements have yet been made as to the performance of the last sad rites. ACTION OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN. A special! meeting of the Board of Aidermen was held yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, for the pur- pose of taking some official action in regard to the demise of General Haipine. Alderman Coman, President of the Board, called the meeting to order and presented the following message trom his Honor the Mayor:— : Maye or, New Your, August 4, 1868.

Y. 8. N. G., that other interesved par- ties who’ possess an honest difference of opinion should desire to respond. In reply the following letter has been addressed to that oillcer:— Boston, Au Brevet Major Joun Baan, United States Infan Stt— Having read your communication 0! it ultimo to Colonel Ward, Twelfth regiment, N. Y. S. N. tion to the decisian made by you at the champion drill on Thursday last, I feel it a duty I owe myself aud my command to deny much contained therein, Referring to the performances of Company E yout state that “throughout the whole drill there was an honest alerence to the tactics which the other company did not follow.” Was not this company formed wrong, sir? and when an oflicer Cannot form his company property should be hope for auc: cess? And then the idea-of presenting two corporals with four sergeants, when he was known to havea greater nim ber, @ preposterous, In wheeling large gaps were frequently observable in the ranks of Compauy E, and in the double time movement two or three files frequently broke away from the left, making almoat a turn fora wheel. If my command did not'appear steady it was cansed by Lieutenant Coionel McAfee pointing with finger and pencil at my men and speaking very loudly in order to distract thetr attention. When I asked that thia be stopped you promised that it should be, but it was continued, nevertheless. Prominent musicians declare that the quick time of the company was at the rate of more than 130 steps to the minute; every eyo in marching struck the ground at a distance of not more than seven paces, and the heads were always down. These are only a few of tho mistakes that an impartial eye could have enally detected. Again you siate “I faithfully took notice of everything.” ‘This statement conflicts greatly with a declaration Seer you on the field, when, after asking me if there was any movement I wishet the’ other company to execute, and m; replying that I desired to ave them wigel in double time, as had done it, you appeared aurprised, abd, with an astonished air, inquired 1f my company had executed the movement, I wheeled the company ten times in double time, sir, and, singular to relate, you did not perceive either movement aud Yet profess to have faith‘ully observed everything. “fhe ground,” you state, “was obatructed often during the drill of your company, and once during the drill of Captain Finan's._ He complained of it, and I bad the drill stopped at once.” ‘This statement I deny verbatim. A company of skir- mishers marched in double time, SarDe the entire drill, in front of Company E, keeping its front always clear. Where was that company, Major, when my command was being drilled?” Not uatil I ited the company and positively re- fused to continue the drill did you 8 space to be cleared and the noise to be stopped. You no disposition on the part of the andionce to discourage efther company !" Did you not hear the hisses and groans of the Tweitth regiment at every supposed mistake of ours? Did not a policoman en- deavor to eject our judge, Captain Moore, from the ground (notwithetanding he remonstrated and stated that he was a Judge), forbearing oaiy when Latruck him with my sword ? ‘And there were other injustices, Major, which you must have perceived. In presenting the fag you took occasion to remark that once or twice the captain ot Company I was not in his proper: sition. This statement docs not appear in your letter. orhaps you have thought bevier of that assertion, aa it will be percelved by paragraph 569 of Upton, referring to the po- sition of the captain, that “in the company drill he may go wherever his. presence is necessary.” Your decision couid not be nade upon personal observa- tion, as you took uo notes whatever, and as you have admitted that there were sou movements you did not perceive I take it that you relied solely on the polats shown you by Colonel MeAfeg, who declared that he “was acting asa lawyer and not asa judge for hia company.” by us—simply clock on te day-ot the drill up icAfee wax notiied a w it 3, 1868, You wer selected, {, and that after four e drilling grouad, Cap- | rondy to confer on of areferee, arrival bat no answer was ved, and mot until New York did we know who was to be ju , . ‘Then, to our durprisa, we learned ho was of Captain McAfee.
