FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Sarurpay, April 3—6 P. M. The weekly bank statement, which was looked for with more than ordinary curiosity, is an unfavora- ble one, but in this respect is uot different from general expectation. The loans have been decreased nearly $2,000,000, Legal tenders have fallen off $2,000,000, and the deposits nearly $5,000,000. The Specie decrease is over $1,300,000, The last two statements compare as follows:— March 21. Aprtl 3. + $263,909, 539 $261,933, 675 12,073,722 10,737,593 84,777,814 84,816,916 180,113,910 175,325,789 60,555,103 48,496, 359 + $1,975,914 58 Bd 1335; ‘The decrease in the total reserve is $3,394,573, and the decrease in the excess beyond the legal reserve 43 $2,182,318, leaving the banks a total excess of $6,698,576, The money market begins to slowly recover from the effects of the great drain of currency to the country which took place in the process of settle- ments on the first of the month. No further shipments were reported to-day, while the Packages of small amounts have been re- celved, Tho diminution in the rates on call was quite perceptible. During the middle of the day, and as late as half-past one o’clock, the full legal rate in coin, and in currency with commissions Of 1-16 and 44 per cent per day was paid for money for the two days to Monday. After two o’clock loans were made at7 per cent, currency, but just about three o’clock a sudden demand was met at con interest. There were indications that funds which had been locked up for effect upon the stock market had deen set free. Commercial paper was firm at the quotation 10 to 12 per cent, and a little more in- quiry reported. There was no further foundation for the ramor that the Comptroller of the Currency had fixed upon the Ist of Apri! for the bank state- ment. The announcement that the Secretary of the Treasury intended the prepayment of the May cou, Pons produced a flurry in gold, which opened at 13134, declined to 131%, and then sold up to 131%, the ‘shorts’ taking advantage of the opportunity to corner. This interest is not very large in the market just now, and so the price reacted again and was variable between the extreme figures above given. It also produced an easy feoling in cash gold, which was freely loaned at rates rauging from seven and six per cent to four percent for carrying exchange, which 1s all the more remarkable for the relaxed condition of the reg- ular money market. The authority which Mr. Van Dyck, the Sub Treasurer, has received for anticipat- ing the gold interest, ts as yet only telegraphic. The delay in waiting for the requisite officiai document from Washington, as well as the preparation of the books and checks, will defer the payment until Tues- day or Wednesday of next week. Orders have been sent by cable to Europe for the coupons now held there—the fve-twenties of '62 being nearly all abroad, The rebate will be at the rate of six per cent for the period from the day of presentation to May 1. The following was the range of the price of gold to-day:— 10A.M. 10:04 A. M. 11 A. M. 11:22 A. 12M. 12:10 P. BL The business of the Gold Exchange Bank resulted as follows :— Gold cleared.... Gold balances. Currency balances. The Btenville, for Havana, took out $265,000 in specie. The European steamer City of New York took $17,000 on ship’s account. The Hansa, which arrived this morning, brought $33,000 in specie. Late in the ajternoon a rumor prevailed that the government had ordered Admiral Hotf, commanding the North Atlantic Squadron, to investigate the case of the capture of the Mary Howell by the Spanish authorities, and demand reparation should it have been unwarrantable, and gold was firmer, closing finally at 131%. Foreign exchange underwent a sharp reaction, based upon an increased demand for bills, which in turn was based upon the expectation that the neces- sity of paying the gold coupons held abroad next month will cause gold shipments or dearer rates for bills. Ordinary amounts of prime bankers’ sterling could not be purchased at less than ‘4 advance upon the figures recently prevailing, aud while the nomi- nal rate for stxty days’ bills-is 108 and for sight 1085, the market is too unsettled to give quotations. The recent advance in the Bank of England rate of ais- count has, it will be observed, made a fractional Wider diiference between the values of long and Short bills, The eifect was reflected in a diiferent manner in the government market, where prices were stimu- Jated by an impression that the gold interest due abroad would be invested in bonds. There was an improvement tn the London price to 8: which gave tone to a general “movement” in the market that carried the '62's up to 11934 and the '67's to 113%. ‘Thefollowing were the closing quotations in a strong market at five o’clock this evening:—United States #ixes, 1881, registered, 115 a 115},; do. coupon, 1154 a 116; do. five-twenty, registered, 109'; a 110; do. do. coupon, 1862, 119 a 11944; do. do. coupon, 1864, 11455 114%; do. do. coupon, 1865, 1164 a 116%; do. do. coupon, new, 1865, 1133¢ @ 113%); do. do. coupon 1867, 31834 a 11354; do. do, coupon, 1868, 11334 a 11345; do.

The proposed redistribution of the national cur- rency does not seem to unfavorably affect New York bank stocks, for which there was a rather larger demand than usual at the regular board this morning, the following being the bids:— New York, 131; Manhattan, 141; Merchants’, 126; Mechanics’, 132; Union, 150; Phenix, 107; Fulton, 160; National, 109; State of New York, 112; Commerce, 122; Ocean, 105; American Ex- change, 116; Bank of the Republic, 117; Hanover, 109; Metropolitan, 142; People’s, 141; Market, 122; Nas- sau, 105; Shoe and Leather, 132; Corn Exchange, 131; St. Nicholas, 115; Commonwealth, 114; Importers and Traders’, 130; Park, 159; Manufacturers and Mer- chants’, 102; Central National, 109),; Fourth Na- tional, 103; Ninth National, 112; Tenth National, 97; Oriental, 14934. The ease in money started a renewai of the specu- Jative feeling in the stock market, and prices took a sharp upward turn, New York Central leading and going as high as 164)4. Much of the activity of this stock was due to a report that the pro rata biil ‘would be defeated and the capitalization of the acrip sanctioned by the Legislature. It was no secret that the “orders” to buy to-day originated with parties members of or connected with the Legislature, the remark being made that “Albany was down tn Wall street to-day.” On the other hand, tt is asserted that pro rata still hangs fire and is likely to be used offensively or defensively, as suits the interests of the Albany ring, while the converston of the scrip is a secret Which has not yet escaped the doors of the committee who have been authorized to investigate and report upon the subject.

THE ERIE PREFERRED STOCK. OFFICE OF THE ERIE Rath Way Company, New York, April 3, 1869. To B. F. WHeELwricnt, I, N. Puevrs, H. T. Mor- GAN, ©. P. LeVERICH and others purporting to rep- resent a Committee of the Holders of Preferred Stock of Erie Railway Company :— GENTLEMEN—I have observed in the New York Times of this date aud have carefully read a circu- lar addressed by you to the holders of the preferred stock of this company, and I beg leave to express the opinion that you have taken a step in the night direc- tion, but, alas ! too late, for the real authors of our troubles are beyond your reach. Having been called upon some months since to devote the greater portion of my time and thoughts to the service of the Erie Railway Company you can readily believe that the severe comments em- bodied in your circular are keenly felt by myself and those who are associated with me in the manage- ment of the road, and it would be hardly fair that you should convey to the public that the present managers of the company are the authors of your great grievance and losses, and on that base we should not aliow you to append your names to an article and go forth to the public unless you had facts and truth which you have either entirely negiected to state, or else you have no desire to give the present managers the ghost of a chance, as your long scythe of censure comes down upon our poor heads and tne public are led to belteve that we are the base men in the play. what time the three or four referred to tn your circular, who you say have brought all this misery to your doors, assumed control o! id in what state they found matters at ow let us see if we cannot counteract the impression sought to be conveyed in your state. ments by afew plain facts.

It was surely by the advice of Mr. D. B. Eaton that the losses to which you object eo very strongly were perpetrated and the great wrong done to By reference to our anditor’s department it was found that the business done by the Ist of January, 1868, until 0 ing resuited tn a loss of $464,671, with seven of the best months of the year gone.e remedying this state of things to the best of our ability, and not without success, for during mainder of the year 1868 we made a from which it will readily uppear that under the con+ ditions on which the preferred dend could be declared for that year—a fact we de- jore as deeply asyou do.

Tt being one’ of iy special duties as an oficer of the Erie Company to investigate frauds in the conduct of ita affairs, I have thought ft more appropriate for me than for any other Of the oiticers to put these questions to Mr. Eaton. Possibly his answers may beso much more explicit than hia card as to relieve me from the necessity of pursuing the investigation further. Yours, truly, JAMES FISK, Jr., Comptrotier Erie Railway Company. Up to this time no answers have been vouchsafed by the tearned senbleman, to my questions, and the reasons for his silence lie buried in his own breast, from which but one conclusion can be drawn. I judge that the amount of the charitable contribu- tion you ask to be deposited with Mr. Leverich by the stockholders is in proportion to the class of counsel you have ; but as I have little doubt that Lam as great a suiferer as any holder from pre- ferred stock, I would suggest that, if you have dis- cerned the remedy for our troubles, we proceed at once to apply it. ‘ Tfeel that all the holdera of the preferred stock should make common cause with you, and I claim to be one of you; but do not let us ask for a stock con- tribution which will not be forthcoming, but let us go to our work fair and square, put up our money and employ decent counsel. In the hope that you may be able to gather some valuable information trom this letter and profit by the hints and facts i have'given you, I subscribe my- self, gentlemen, in heart, soul and purse, one of your suffering brethren, JAMES FISK, JR. to-day be bought by the acre will be covered with houses, and a single fifty foot lot will be worth more than an acre will now sell for. Peace being restored, all having confidence in the ruling powers, an end to the strife and turmoil will at once take piace and Memphis will Wasrapidiy in wealth and popu, lation as ever St, Louis or Cincinnati did,” Commissioner Wilson, of the General Land Office, has just received advices from the United States Surveyor General’s office at Helena, Montana Ter- ritory, showing the completion of the survey of the exterior lines of 81x additional townshi, Madi- son river, an atiluent of the Missouri, Also of the survey of the subdivisional lines of two additional townships in the same locality. This tract is thirty miles long north and south, and six miles wide, and is well watered by the Madison river and tts several tributaries,and embraces a variety of soi! and surface, A large fe. Peeaordon. of these lands are suitable for the juction of cereals and vegetables, some small tracts, here and there in the valleys, without the aid of irrigation. Last season wheat was sown on the terrace lands in some places in the middie of March and a good crop realized. There is a large mount of this tract returned as mineral lands, Some valuable lodes have been discovered, and there are quite & number of quartz mills in opera- tion in the tract. There are a number of settlers in each of the townships, some of whom have already made fine improvements. Some parts of the tract are well sulted for grazing purposes, but most of the settlers now on the tract are engaged in the dairy business, and agri- cultural pursuits, Timber is contined to the streams, where it consists of cottonwood and aider, and to the base of the mountains, where some cedar and ine arefound. Valley limestone suitable for build- ig purposes is found in abundance in some parts of the tract, The town of Sterling, laid out in 1865, Is situated on the tract and contains about fifty fami- lies, four stores and several quartz mills. num- ber of irrigating canals are being constructed on the tract, which will greatly enhance the value of the lands and attract immigration, Vn ge olty is Situated about six miles southwest of the lands in- cluded in this survey. This region is heaithy and presents fine inducements to such as desire to se- cure a home on the public domain and engage in any of the various branches of agriculture, grazing or in mining pursuits. The sober second thought of the South and the ap- preciation of the people of the true reconstruction they sequire is shown tn the following extract:— “There is no place in the Southwest which presents such favorable opportunities for profitable mvest- ment of money in real estate as West Tennessee does at this time, and it may now be justly regarded as Ube garden spot of the Mississippi valley, ‘The lands of West Tennessee are varied in quality, and are well adapted to the growth of almost every product raised in the United States, They @re deep, rich and inexhaustible and easily cultivatea, producing good crops of wheat, cotton, corn, to- bacco, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat, potatoes, cab- bage, turnips and almost all the productions of the more northern and southern portions ot the States, and for a fruit producing region of every kind it cannot be surpassed. For manufacturing purposes itis well supplied with an abundance of timber of every character, consisting of oak, hickory, poplar, ash, walnut, cypress, gum, &c., unsurpassed for qualily and inexhaustible in quantity. The climate is mild and p.easant, not affected either by the tn- tense cold of a Northern winter or tie scorching heat of a Southern summer, the seasons resembling in an eminent degree the mild and picasant weather of an Italian climate; and there is certainly not a more healthy section to be found in the country. These are only a few of the advantages offered to persons who are disposed to visit, purchase lands and settle among us. Real estate can now be pur- chased at very low figures compared with former prices—that Is, before the war—but tt is very appa rent to those who have observed such matters dur- ing the last twelve months that prices are now steadily advancing, and we regard a judicious in- vestment made at this time as likely to double or treble itself within the next four or five years. Our market facilities are all good, located as we are on the Mississippi river and the interior being cut up as it now is with railroads diverging from Memphis into and throughout the country tn every direction, Society is excellent, as the inhabitants are industrious, orderly and intelligent. Churehes and schools avound, and manufactories of every description (which, by the way, are greatly needed among us), We are gratified to learn, are quite likely soon to go into successful operation. With such in- ducements, aud so favorable opportunities presented for safe investments, we hope soon to see “our selected garden spot” filled with a thrifty, mtelil- gent, industrious, contented and Lappy popuiation.”’ REAL ESTATE MATTERS. Renal Estate Notes. With the advance of spring and the soft, mila weather rendering excursions into the country agreeable interludes in the dull action of city life, we hear of frequent visits paid by many of the pur- chasers at the sales last fall and previously of Jersey lota, located in the numerous new settlements along the lines of the Erie and New Jersey Central Rail- roads, to the scene of their investments. They all agree in reporting the most remarkable progress in the building up of these places. At Passaic—a newly created town eleven miles from Jersey City and four miles this side of Paterson, which is already exhibiting its development im a miniature contest between republicans and democrats for town officers—some fifty houses are to be seen in various stages of building, and the clink of the carpenter's hammer and whir-r-r of the saw make most agreeable music to the ear of the city man who ventured his savings in property here some time back as he steps from the train toexamine how far his anticlpations of rapid improvement © have been realized. New Jersey property has thus far this spring been but little regarded in the auction mart, but there is every prospect of considerable dealings in it during the coming summer. ‘The following are receut sales in the towns men- tioned by A.

To THE Epiror OF THE HERALD:— I cannot but express surprise at the verdict of the Coroner's jury in the case of the convict Dean, which reads as follows:—‘We find that the convict Montague Dean came to his death after an iliness tn the prison hospital of some five hours, from causes unknown to the jury; and, further, we find no evi- dence to show that any prison rule or practice has been violated.” “From causes unknown to the jury !"’ and yet the entire evidence of the physician making the post mortem examination tends to de- velop the belief that the shower bath, and the shower bath only, was the cause of death. The sympathies of all the prison officials are readily seen to be with the keeper, “Doctor Buckingham,” as the poysician of the institution terms him, and the concurrence of the jury in their expressed opin- fons must occasion surprise in the minds of ali pir sicians wao carefully read the evidence. The sho , Pa by cold showeriag might produce a clot in the heart, not of suficient size to produce im- mediate death, but yet serving as a nucleus by which as sudden and instantaneous a death takes place, as if in the first instance of fatal dimensions. wr. Collins says in his testimony:—“If the edects of a showering are not immediate it would not produce death suddenly for a time aiterwards. Now it is a well-known fact that persons convalescing from ty- phoid fever, chronic Giarrhora, ana in fact all dis- eases of an adynamie type, frequently die from heart clot, one formed perhaps weeks anteriorly, when the patient was in the most enfeebied state, and has but that moment, by a sudden movement or emotion calling on the heart for increased action, almost sim- ultaneously developed into a plug fatal to life. In the case of a man sliowered the blood 1s driven from the brain and cutaneous surface, and a clot ts formed. Lmmediately he is removed, reacting partially, the formation of the clot is arrested. Afterwards thrust into aceil or intimidated in any way, his nervous aystem again sinks; the heart's action sympattett- cally enfeebled, the blood flows with decreased force and the already formed clot forms the pount @appui for gradual augmentation. A week, a day or an hour may have elapsed, it matters not. It 18 not at ali unlikely that several clots form at one and the same time—in the heart, the langs and the liver, &c.—or the formation of oue or two by producing disproportion between the solid (of which the clot 18 formed) and the watery portion of the blood, induces others In the lungs, liver, Kid- neys, &c. Decomposition tn these cases follows death rapidly, and the fact that the clots were not found periect in this case was to be expected. This whole matter of the shower bath should be brought promi- nentiy before the Legisiature for decisive action. You or I, as we step under the douche, or shower bath, do'so voluntarily and with the knowledge that the shock is terminabie at our pleasure; but imagine @ man terrified, his nervous system shocked and aralyzed before feeling the water, and knowing the jength of his douching or showering is entirely optional with a man whose passions are aroused against him. Patrick Hyland, a keeper, says: have seen men take bogsiteads of water—some take more than others.” And this is spoken of as “a privilege of a keeper.’ Is there a doubt but that among 80 many Keepers there be not some who are irritavle and ‘cruei by nature? And yet these wretches have this “privilege of a keeper,” and use it, too, with a vengeance. Can it be that this matter is to rest here, and that testimony of a partisan character Is to stand m the way of justice and of right? W. T. 0., M. D. Tue Weiss Homicioe IN PHILADELPntA.—The in- vestigation into the death of Casper Weiss from in- juries inflicted, as it was alleged, by a stave in the han f Joseph Droll, at a lager beer saloon at ‘Tuirty-first and Jefferson streets, oa March 6, was heid ‘yesterday morning by Coroner Daniels. The evidence disclosed that bad feelings existed between Droli and deceased, aud that they met on the day mentioned and engaged in a fight, which resulted in the injury of Weiss about the head, which finally re- sultea, on Wednesday last, in the death of Weiss at the German Hospital, The jury rendered a verdict that deceased came to his death from violence (viows on the head) at the hands of Joseph Proll, on March 6, 1860, at Thirty-first and Jefferson streets. — irda. delphia Ledger, Apri MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
