M. ‘The Stock Exchange and the Gold Board have ad- journed to Tuesday, July 6. The Long Room was closed at two o'clock and the Gold Room at three o'clock, at which latter hour there was a general suspension of business. ' The money market to-day was quite logical in its movement, and answered the general expectation that, with the government purchase of three millions of bonds and the desire of lenders to optain the three days’ interest to Tuesday, there would be a re- laxation in rates. The earliest rates on call loans ‘were % and 24 for the three days to Tuesday, plus in- terest at the rate of seven percent per annum, ‘The money for the purchased bonds was promptly paid byjGeneral Butterfield and came upon the street by two o'clock. Some apprehension was felt lest the agents of the cliques should be among the.com- petitors submiiting proposals and obtain the $3,500,000 on which 80 many hopes and so large expectations had been based as the entering wedge to break up the monetary stringency. The relaxa- tion was gradual from the high rates first mentioned vo gold interest and seven per cent currency, at which balances were freely offering in tue haif hour before three o’clock. Commercial paper was sttil nominally quoted at ten to twelve per cent discount. The bank statement shows the contraction of the ‘Danks during the past week. The falling off in loans and the decrease in deposits are each about two mil- lions. The payment of the July interest by the gov- ernment has led to an increase of specie to the ex tent of three and a quarter millions. The legal ten- ders have suspiciously decreased about a million and ahalf, The statement is, however, a favorable one; Yor while the deposits have fallen off so largely there is a gain of reserve of nearly a million amd ® half of dollars. It Is evident from the gteady contractile policy of the banks during the past month that they are fortifying themselves against what must prove a very active and stringent fall money market, the mdications of that fact being already so numerous in 1s present disordered and deranged state. The following are the last two statements contrasted:— Tune 2 Jun $2,063,261 8,263,127 3188 1,845,223 Ancrease in specie. increase in circulation... ecrease in deposits.. Decrease in legal tenders. Governments were strong In sympathy with an advance in London to 8134, and also in consequence of the government purchase of three millions, which ‘At was afterwards rumored was to be succeeded by ‘the purchase of a similar amount next week, Sub- ‘rreasurer Buttertield has received no instructions, however, The pressure m the money market weak- ened prices at the noon board, and bonds at one ‘o'clock came 813; from London. ‘The yielding was more noticeable in the 62's, but the whole market closed up better, the offering prices being those bid in the morning buoyancy.

It encouraged holders, however, and rendered the market quite firm.

How Freight is Taken from Trains in Mo- tion—Arrest and Escape ef an Alleged Ope= rator=How a Woman Unwittingly Aided a Runaway. (From the Buffalo Express, June 29.) For some tame past complumts have been mage that freight sipped over tue New York Central Rail- road from the West via suspension bridge did not Tench its destination, and tue 108s was finally traced to that part of the road between Lockport and Ko- chester. The directors of the company became satis- fled thata well organized gang were operating in the vicinity, and close watch was kept in all direc: tions, It was at last discovered that the freight was thrown o:f the train by part of the gang and picked up by others ho wagoned it away for sale. About three weeks ago informution was seni to Superinuvendent forrence that a bale of wire, weigiing some seventy pounds, had been found in field near Middieport. Detective Kent was im- mediately sent to look into the matter. Pro- ceeding to Rochester, he took with tim Join Barker, the track master at that place, and a shrewd and determmed mua, and started lor Middieport, ‘There it was found thai the wire had been sold, and after obtaining the details the oiticer made im- quiries, which led tg the 1aformation that twenty- one similar bales going West on the Blue Line had been lost. Back to Middleport they went, and there found that @ youug man nated Spaulding, a dry goods clerk, had soid twenty-one bales to a hardware mer- chant named Compton fur eighty-live dollars. Mr. Spaulding gave a clear account of the transaction, saying that the wire had been delivered to bin at night by a man named Panel Day. A warrant was immediately issued for Day's ar- |. rest, and, after an examination before Justice isaker, he was put under $1,000 batl to answer to a charge of grand larceay. ‘The next question was more difficult of solution; but suspicion finally rested on Joseph Duncan, who resides In Rochester, and was formeriy employed as a conductor on the road. He was a man of some property, and had been noticed to be frequently in the company of Day at Middleport, under the pre- tence of buying cattle. ‘Tne fact that no one could recall an instance in which he had made a purchase of any kind led to suspicion of him, Finally Kent became satisfied that he had sumMcient evidence to convict Duncan, and on Saturday tele- graphed to the Rochester Chief of Police that he had @ Warrant for him, the freight master. He was therefore arrested in Rochester, and held untu Kent and Barker arrived, and on Saturday afternoon started with their prisoner for Niagara County. At Medina coustubie A. Kerrington Was taken on and Mr. Barker relieved to return to his duties at Roches- ter. At Middieport constable M, L. Duncan, who is, howover, no relation of the prisouer, got wport the train. Mr. Keut gave nim the commitments, and, proceeding to Lockport, left for buffalo, giving the oilicers directions to take him directly ta jail. {t seems that Duncan then prevailed upon them to take him to the office of Wm, 8, Farwell, his lawyer, after which they started forthe jail. He then’ in- duced them to take him to the house of his mother, @ very estimable lady, residing in Lockport, assert- ing that he wished to obtain patl She refused to become his bati, and once more they took up their line of march. Kerrington desired to have tue prisoner handcuffed, but officer Duncan had no bracelets. Kerrington had a pair and wished them used, but Duncau insisted that the man was in lus charge and he would risk his getting away. When within thirty or forty feet of the Fee gate Duncan. the prisoner, suddenly slipped from the grasp of Duncan, the oficer, and ja a moment was flying up the street. Kerrington at for him, but a woman happening to be passing at that imo- ment stepped in the way. Kerringtoo knocked her down in his haste and drew his revolver, but the woman tn rising once more got before him and he was thus prevented from firing. In the meantime Duncan made good nis escape, and has not been heard from since. Middleport deserves a word of commendation. The oficers agree in saying that the citizens of the place were untiring in their eiforts to ferret out the robbery, saying that they mast have no thieves in Middieport. COLORADO GOLD SHIPMENTS. Heavy Increase in Production. {From the Colorado Transcript.} ‘The monthly increase of our bullion product this season, 80 far, is very gratifying; much of it comes from private parties, miners working on their own hook, and shows a@ very healthy state of affairs in the two counties back of us. The Register is jubi- lant over the figures, as well it may be. We give below the statement of that paper. The shipments ae and silver bullion were, for the month of rus — fom Gilpin county... $202,000 From Clear Creek county 48,000 From Gilpin county..... From Clear Creek county... TOG). ..0000-s00 0: seeveeseseens aoe + $280,000 These are the best figures Gilpin and Clear Creek counties ever offered, and the most pleasing feature ig that they show a net increase of $30,000 for this Month, At present rates a year’s production would amout to over $5,500,000, which, we take it, are @normous results for so small a population. ‘hat portion of tne United States, outside of the mining by ard can show so large a production per capita ? It is probable that the gross productions of the two eounties will foot up at the end of the year between $4,000,000 ana $6,000,000, We are elated over the results, and see in them bright promise for tne fa- ture. It should be added that in calculating the amount of bullion shipped through the express we maae allowance for undervyaluation, but the totals given will bear the closest serftiny, CONFEDERATE LEGISLATION. Action for Assault Committed Daring the War=—The Case Stricken from the Docket, (From the Montgomery (Ala.) Mail, June 25.) In the case of the State vs. Paulk, which was an indictment for assault with intent to murder, found during the war, a motion was made by William P, Chilton, Jr., one of the counsel for the defence, to strike the from the docket, on the ground that there was no indictment; the istrament parportng tw be an indictment being preterred by an illegal body as aGrand Jury, While the State of Alabama ‘was at war with the government of the United States, ‘The motion presented the points recently decided by the Supreme Court in the case of Hall vs. Hall, that the acts of the State Legislature during the war should be disregarded unless specially ratitied; also in the case of Coleman vs, Chisholm, to wit, that the Con- federate and State governments were not de facto vernments, The motion was argued by William hliton, Sr, and Jr, from the standpoint of the ve named decisions. Solicitor John G, Stokes Sue the motion, The order of Judge Smith was that the case be stricken from the docket. It is now becoming a nice question, to what extent will Con- federate legislation and the acts done pursuant to it be respected by the courts now in existence.

SHANGuAg, May M4, 1809, Weknew we were near Hong Kong, and we felt satisfied that if the wind remained favorable we should land at Victoria next day, Our long voyage was nearly over; 11 was now the 15th day of May, 1863, and we had left New York on the 20th of the preceding December. We had been driven away to the equator by a flerce nor’wester, and crossed the line on the 10th of January, with the thermometer @t 106 in the shade. We had conformed to all the old usages.in crossing the line, received our visit from Neptune, aud all those who had not previously been that Way were duly tarred, shaven and doused. On the 22d of February we touched at Cape Town, iu the middle of thelr beautiful sum- mer, and were entertained by our fellow Americans residing there at a public dinner given in honor of the anniversary of the birthday of Washington, and were further feted during our stay of five days, At Anjer Point, Java, we also made a stay, where we met some fellow Americans who were on their way from Shanghae to New York. As if to punish us for our temerity in sleeping ashore a great many of us caught the Java fever, but very soon shook it off, After many weeks of ship board, and thoroughly wearied of the sea, we often- times longingly strained our eyes along the line of tne western horizon, which the declining sun gilt with his rays, for the first appearance of land, At length a speck appeared on the western glittertag waters, wich the ‘ain informed us was a Chinese pilot boat, and so it afterwards proved to be; for just as the sam was setting and the tall peaks of the cluster Of islands, one of which is Hong ong, had seemingly risen out of the sea, Uie pilot junk came alongside aud the pilot and his agsisiants ‘scrambied on board, ‘Thus wo first met China face to nd examined the Chiuamen rerait, ‘heir browt leaved bampvoo hats, 10 sacks, Wide panis, liveliess turned up shoes and the strange jargon, a mixture of English, Chinese and olner languages, called pigeon English, which they Spoke, as well as their strange swan shaped craf with latten sails, made from bamboo, and resem- buug in their furmacion a Venetian olind. were to us matiers of Wonder, That night we glided by a num- ber of hilly, barren, volcanic islands, and at sunrise the next morning Were Witalu about eight miles trom Victoria, Being impatient to reach the city, | got on a sanpan, @ peculiar cralt something like a rowboat, impelicd by a latven sail and a jelo, which is along oar of pecuitar constraction, and worked wa Ohina- inan at the stern of the boat. e glided swifly along, and in half an hour the beauuful harbor and city of Victoria, the former almost land jocked and crowded with the men-of war and mer- chant vessels of many nations, aud the latter rising abruptiy, street after street, and terrace after ter- race, In & crescent shape, up te side of a steep nil, until all were crowned by Victoria veax, with the telegraph and signal station, standing nearly two thousand feet high, Ip another halt hour we janded, and how strange everything seeined, The semi-oriental dress of the Caucasians, the queer costume of the Varsees, ae- scendants of the dre worsaipvers of Persia, and now the smartest among the money lenders and brokers of the ust; Che plodding tn every direction of coolies bearing sedan chidirs, all cold one that he was indeed and far-orf laud, dof Hong Kong was ceded by the Chi- nese to the british in 184i, and the latter quickly commenced to build the city of Victoria.

Victoria contains about $5,000 Cau- casian and 60,000 Chinese inhavitants, ‘The streets running from the water's edge up hill are very steep, many of them ii-paved and narrow; those crossing are wide, well paved, and lined with solid, splendid public buiidings and elegant private resi- dences, built in the European style. ‘he various Villas scattered away high up the hillside, are, in architectural design, together with the garden sur- roundings, a8 beautilul as any ia the world. Being an £nglish colony one constantly meets with evidence of the Power on which “the sun never seis” aud “the tax gatherer never rests.” “Her Mayesty’s”’ Governor and his officials “her Majesty's” ministers of the “Established Chureh,’? “ner Ma- jesty’s” “Jolly tars” and “wooden walls,” “ner Ma- jesty’s” “detenders” in the shape of “red coats,’ “her Majesty’s’ everything in fact, hotels, ware- rooms and snobbish subjects of “her Majesty.” ‘The “universal Yankee nation” is to be found, cal- culating, speculating, notioning and making its way generally. As to the other open ports of China, we are “going ahead” rapidly against ail the prejudices and animosity or John Bull. Twenty years ago the American hate was scarcely heard of in China; now some of the heaviest merchant houses are American, and many of the enterprises and most useful im- provements are instituted under the Stars and Stripes. I must say, however, that I cannot admire the adaptation of English customs, habits, snobvish- ness and caste absurdities which characterize too many of our American residents in China, particu- jarly tn Victoria, It'is mawkish, Bumiliasing, aod the combination of the Yankee twang with attempts at the ordinary drawi is tasuiferabie, The tmoort and export trade of Victoria is very great and increasing; ic is the terminus of our new line of steamers to the East, and will become, aiter our trans-concinental railroad {8 finished, a piace of the utmost mnportance to us, aithougl interior in that respect, I trust, to a colony of our own some- where near Shanghae.

Here is seen celestial life with all its peculiarities, its more repulsive forins controled and modified by Western civilization. by all means the visitor should call at the princi- pal curio shops and withess Chinese theatriculs, Imagine plays without scenery, and the various subjects incidental to the plot, such as houses, wulls, rocks, apartments, animals, &c., represented by actors Who announce themselves as houses, walls, &c., leaving your imagination to supply the rest. Ninety miles from Victoria, up the Pearl river, Is the great city of Canton, with its million inhabitants, narrow streets, immense bazaars and tine foreign settlement. I Would advise all parties visiting China to go through the bazaars of Canton; there the beau- tiful silk and other fabrics, as well a8 the ex ey carved articles of all kinds in ivory, sandal wi tortoise shell, &c., are exhibited in immense an bewildering profusion, and one can make pur- chases by giving about one-third of what is first de- man Two lines of steamers, one pomerieens the other English, ply daily between Victoria and ton. @ left Victoria on the Sno-Nada, a very fine steamer, owned by an American firm.

As we steamed up to Shanghae ‘we were delighted and astonished at the beautiful appearance presented. The range of splendid ho: or mercantile establishments, each surrounded by tastefully laid out lawns, and extending in the American, the English i French settlements nearly two miles along the bund, or road, that lines the bay; the forest of inasts and steamer chimneys through which we glided to our deck, and the fleets of junks and sanpans gliding im every direction, all told us that we had reached the emporium at present and in future of Eastern Asia. Shanghae hein i approaching the sea) lies on the north shore of the Woosang river, at its junction with the Whangpoo, fourteen miles up irom the junction of the Woosung with the Yaugtse-Kiang ‘and twenty from the sea. It is in latitude 31 degrees To minutes north and longitude 121 degrees 30 min- utes east. ‘The natural advantages of Shanghae for trade can- not be excelled on the globe, By the Whangpoo it receives the wealth of one of the richest districts of China, by the Yangtse the productions of the vast valley of Middle China, and on account of its central position in the empire its coasting trade as well as its outside commerce ts immense. Some idea of the vastness of the trade of Shanghae may be conveyed from the fact that in 1867 the value of the exports and imports reached the sum of $125,000,000 in gold. After landing we put up at a very good hotel, called the Astor House; but were very soon Invited to enjoy the princely hospitality of Messrs.

The distinctions of caste, and the necessity of “keeping up appearances,” in order to compete with the lavish expenditure of “her Majesty's” well paid oficiais and the merchant aria- tocracy, force one, however unwillingly, to submis to gluttony, wine drinking, luxurious idleness and ‘the nuisance of a multiplicity ‘of servants, Society is corrupt, owing to the scarcity of Cal casian ladies in proportion to the namber of maies of the same race.

The Case of the Salvador—More Cruisers in the Caribbean Sea.; Nassau, N. P., June 28, 1869, Last Friday the case of the Ouban blockade ranner Salvador waa brought in the Vice Admiralty Court. The Advocate General made a motion that the libel filed in the above cage be admitted to proof. This is the third time that said case las been brought ta court. The libel contains thirteen counts, and charges that James Carlin and others did, without the leave and license of her Majesty the Queen, equip, furnish and fit out the steamer Salvador, with intent and in orderthat she should be employed as a transport and storeship in the service of certain persons assuming to exercise the powers of govern- ment in certain parts of the Island of Cuba in revolt from and against the authority of the government ot spain, After hearing the arguments the Judge stated that he would give tis decision on Wednesday next. On the day before yesterday morning came into this port from Charleston the American steamtug el L. Aspinwall, and after taking in twenty-five tons of coal left in the evening of the same day for some port of Haytl, where her captain is sain to be bound to.

KErxeston, June 12, 1869. We have intelligence from Santiago to the 8th inst. Sertous complatuts have been preferred against Mr, Lantern, the British Vice Consul at Manzanillo, in consequence of his great mdifference to the interest of British subjects resident there, It would appear that Mr. McNeil, a British subject, was confined in a filthy dungeon, crawling with vermin, damp and unfit for the reception of any human being, fora Period of seventy-nine days, without ever seeing the Consul or any great effort being made to obtata his release, and had it not been for the accidental am- nesty proclamation of General Dulce on his arrival as Captain General, Mr. McNeil, although fifty-seven years of age, would have been innocently shot. Another British subject in the same place, Mr. Kynoch, was similarly confined in consequence of some irregularities in Mr. Consul Lantern's office, and he found it a most dificult matter to move the British Oonsal to investigate his case or procure his release, A third case is reported of the arrest of Mr. Ferguson, a Canadian, and likewise a British subject, who was imprisoned on the testimony of a Spanish priest, who stated that Mr. Ferguson was a Freemason! Through the kind exertions of Mr. Bythorn, the American Consul, Mr. Ferguson was released from prison, but is not permitted to leave the town of Manzanillo. The correspondent of the Jamaica Guardian, Mr. Gonzales, has been captured by the volunteers at Jaiguaney and brutally assassinated. His eyes were gouged out, his tongue cut out by the roots with a bayonet and his body otherwise mutilated in a man- ner which decency forbids detailing. The American schooner Grapeshot, which cleared at New York for Falmouth, Jamaica, with a number of Cubans, Mexicans and Americans, had arrived @ little above Guantanamo about the’ beginning of this*month, and during the night landed on the beach a large quantity of arms and ammunition, but morning overtaking the vessel before she had completed her landing the captain wouid not re- main, but insisted on clearing out the schooner. She subsequently arrived at Falmouth and was seized by the collector; but the authorities here have disap- proved of the conduct of Mr. Buchanan, of the Ous- toms service at Falmouth, in the seizure, and have ordered the release of the vessel and cat The post which arrived on the morning of Wednesda: last brought the news, whereupon Mr. Buchanan ad- dressed a ietter to Captain Weish to the following effect:—“‘Under instructions from the head oflice of this department I have to intimate that the precau- tionary mark of the broad arrow on the Grapeshow has been erased, and the formal embargo, intended to prevent a dealing with its contraband cargo, is withdrawn.” Captain Welsh and the agent and supercargo of the schooner claim damages against all concerned as follows:—For and on account of v, Mennea, agent, fiity pounds; Henry H. Hall, super- cargo, Mity pounds; W. C. Welsh, master, fiity pounds, and cost to schooner Grapesnot, filty pounds, on separate claims. FRENCH WEST INDIES. Earthquake at Guadalupe and Martinique— sease and Drought Prevailing. A-smart shock of earthquake was felt at Mar. tinique on the 27th May, but beyond the cracking of afew walls the damage done was slight. Yellow fever was prevailing to a very alarming extent, and the best efforts of old and experienced physicians could not stay its ravages, even among the natives, Among the victims has been the Attorney General of a Lucia and Major Mariot, Inspector General of lice. In Guadalupe yellow fever and drought are mak= tng havoc among the inhabitants. Public and private cisterns are dried up, and not a drop of water 1s to be found to drink. The inhabitants are to be seen at the corners of various streets pumping and drinking brackish water, while the distress of domestic animals and cattle is positively painful to witness. A long and protracted shock of earthquake was felt in the island on the 18ti. The water rose several feet aud ships were jostied together in the harbor. THE SOUTHERN HISTORICAL SOCIETY. Letter from Wade Hampton. {From the Corumbia (8. C.) Phoenix, June 29.) Mr. Eprror—Will you do me the favor to publish the PY mast of the Southern Historical Soctety, which you will find enclosed? They have been sent to me for publication in our State, with a request that I should invite the co-operation of our peopie in romoting the objects contemplated by the society. These objects are so fully and ably set forth in the official circular that it is only necessary for me to call attention to that paper and to expregs my hearty concurrence in the measures it recommends, We owe it a8 a sacred duty to our ancestry, the fatners of that republic which exists now only in name; to our children, Whove duty it will be to re-establish civil liderty on this Continent, if they hope to ‘he our fate; and, above ali, to the memory of our heroic dead, that we should place upon record, where the futare historian of our late war may find it, the true facts relating to our unfortunate but glorious strug- gie. By this means alone can we vindicate our prin- ciples, justify our cause, and preserve intact that which alone can give value to history—truch. The society which has been organized in New Orieans has these noble objects in view, and they appeal so directly to the heart of every true man tn the South that they need only to be presented to be endorsed, As soon a8 the constitutton and bylaws of the societ, are sent to me _ they shall be pudiished, when I hope that cieties will be established in every district of our State. In the meantime, I invoke in behalf of the society the atd anda co-operation of every man who reveres the ancient honor and re- now of our State, who cherishes a proper regard for the great principles which have governed her in the past, who believes that these princtples will yet be triumphant, who wishes to vindicate the cause for which we fought and who desires to preserve un- tarnished the memory of those patriots who died for that cause.
