FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Tavurspay, August 5—6 P, M, ‘The first of the August sales of gold was made to- day by Assistant Treasurer Butterfleld, pursuant to whe order of the Secretary already published. The ‘aggregate bids were $4,400,000, at prices ranging ‘Trom 135.60 to 136.13. The last bid was made for the ‘entire amount of $1,000,000 announced to be sold, and ‘was of course, being the highest, accepted. Thts figure reflected the firmness of the premium in the Gold ttoom, where it opened at 136, earty advanced 3, whence it reacted subsequently to 185%, but speedily recovered, and at noon was 136%. ‘This hardening of the premium was Likewise accompanied by increased activity conse- quent upon advices from Europe indicating growing anxiety in the money centres, there, regarding ex- citing political complications in Spain and Egypt. A decline of % to %4 in consols, and disappoint. ment in the expectation indulged 1 that the Bank of England directors would reduce the rate of dis- count at their meeting to-day, coupled with rumors of a probable drain of specie from England towards she Continent and a lower quotation for our own bonds abroad, aided to give force and influence to these fears i this market. dm the afternoon goid touched 136%, but fell off tater ana closed in the room at 136%. Sub- sequently to the adjournment of the board it re- ceded to 44, but rallied again, and at the close of ‘business was 1363;. The steamer Eagle, for Havana, to-day took out $27,000 in specie, The disburse- ents of cotn Interest to-day amount to $116,324, The following table shows the range of gold during the day and its price at stated hours:— ‘Transactions in the loan market were at 5, 5}, 6 and 7 per cent for carrying up to Clearing House time, Subsequently 5); and 7 were also paid, and an exceptional transaction occurred at 4 per cent. The report of the Gold Exchange Bank for to-day is a3 follows:—Gross'clearings, $42,136,000; gold bal- ances, $1,802,098; currency balances, $2,605,883 6. The money market worked to-day without new features, the extreme rates on call loans being 6 and 7 per cent, with the larger number of trans- actions at 6 and 7, although sufficient occurred at § on governments to render them more than excep- tional. Prime discounts range from 7 to 9 per cent. Foreign Exchange 13 somewhat drmer, and while rates remain unghanged bankers no longer allow the 1-16 brokerage. ‘The late rapid appreciation of bonas in tts market in consequence of the gov- ernment purchases and the growing scarcity of five- twenties thereby resulting, has placed this market in such relation to Europe on some of the issues as to favor shipments hither. It 1s reported that bonds were bought in Kurope yesterday ana this morning on New York account, which is not unlikely, m= small amounts, and this has had its influence here upon both the exchange and gold markets. Any effort at large purchases, however, upon the same account would soon restore the former relations of the foreign and home mar- kets. These are not, therefore, much apprehended. We quote previous rates as follows:—Sterling, sixty days, commercial, 109% @ 109%; good to prime bankers’, 100% a 110; short sight, 110% a 1 Paris, sixty days, 5.183 a 6.13%; short sight, 34 a 6.1144; Antwerp, 5.1834 a 6.13%; Switzerland, 6.18% a 5.13%; Hamburg, 3534 a 35%; Amsterdam, 40'y 240%; Frankfort, 40% a 40%; Bremen, 78% a 7914; Prussian thalers, 703; @ 714. Governments opened this morning with renewed activity, with an advance upon the closing figures of last night mm 64’s, both 65's and 67’s, the other five- twenties and 81’s being steady. The ten-forties and currency sixes were strong and still prominent fea- tures of the list. At the noon call 62's and 65’s were offered at a concession of 14, and 64's held ‘4 higher. The other five-iwenties were steady, without change. The ten-forties were stiliin demand and % higher for the coupon issue, with no offerings of registered at 1125, bid. Currency bonds were frm. At the last catl 6i’s, both 65's, 67’°8 and cur- rency bonds were offered at 3 less. The other lasues were without change. The market continued firm at the decline up to the close of business, and closed steady on these issues, excepting '62's and 7165's, which fell off another %%. The currency sixes and '68’s reacted and the ten-forties advanced.

In State bonds Tennessees were affected by the unsatisfactory condition of the political situation in that State, and the new bonds went off on ihe second call and were pressed for sale, North Carolinas, old, also declined. Missouri sixes were firm. The other issues were dull, insympathy with Tennessees, and barely steady. The following were the prices on the second call:—Tennessee sixes, ex coupon, 61% a 62; do., new, 5474 a 55; Virginia sixes, ex coupon, 57M a 58%; do., new, 61 a 61!; Georgia sevens, 91 293; North Carolina 31xes, ex coupon, 57 @ 5714; do., new, 50% a 511s; South Carolina sixes, 63; Missouri aixes, 87% a 88; Louisiana sixes, 70 bid; do., levee eights, 85; Alabama eights, 9234 a 93;. In the stock market the Western shares continued to be the leading features, with the St. Pau! and Northwestern stocks as the most prominent of the lust. Rock Island to day jotned in with the specula- tive movement in these shares, advancing rapidly from 11434 to 11644, The market opened with a gen- eraliy buoyant feciing. but during the day devel- oped a reaction, which carried prices down 3 to 1 per cent on the entire list, which was followed, however, by a partial recovery, the market closing strong on the features, although off the hignest figures of the day.

The Vanderbilt shares were weak through the day, on rumors of the postponement of the consolidation e@cheme for an indefinite period. New York Central upon this report sola down to 207%, Hudson River 183% and Harlem 164, but recovered before the close. In the miscellaneous stock list Pacific Mail sold between 84 and 85, The fluc- tuations in the balance of this list and the expresses were unithportant.

WASHINGTON, 1, C., August 6, 1969, ‘The Board of Visitors appointed by the President to attend the annual examination at the United ‘States Military Academy at West Point in June last have submitied their report to the War Department, and it will be laid before Congress at tts next se8- sion. ‘the Board was composed of Judge Cauries H. Warren, Massachusetts; General Joho Haton, Jr., Tennessee; General David Hunter, United States Army; General W. 0. Gresham, indiana; Hon. B. F. Loan, Missouri, ana Presidents Anderson, of the Rochester University, New York, and Stanton, of Miami University, Ohio. By law tt was made the duty of the Board to examine into the discipline, in- struction, police, administration, fiscal affairs and other concerns of the Academy, ana full reports upon each of those subjects are made. ‘The system of discipline prevalent at the Academy is very highly commended. The personal freedom so necessary to the development of strong, self-re- lant characters is not imperilied by unwise restraint. Yet the personal knowledge of the Superintendeat r especting the habits, conduct and capacity of oit- cers and cadets is surprisingly minute, and, without being oppressive or tyrannical, and consequently re- palsive, is made to exercise a constant and power- fulinfluence over both, The main purpose of the Academy—to trata young men to be sac and suc- cessful oficers—is ever kept in view and never subor- dinated to other ends. No oppression exists on tne part of omicers, or sense of degradation on the part of the cadets, but # strict and rig- orous* discipline, justly but kindly enforced, commands even front Its subjects cordial dbedience, To every duty well periormed a value is attached, while acta ot neglect and disobedience are charged to the offender, to count against him in the future. The habitual use of the language, forms and routine of the military service imparts to the future ofticer, whiie still a cadet, much knowledge of a part of his future duties. ‘The principles of nationality, love of country aud of high personal honor are caretuily nurtured, and insure to the country patriotic and nonest as well as able officers. ‘The list of offences exhibits a gratifying freedom from malicious disobedience or moral turpitude—careiessness being the principal offence known, now that the skii- ful and persistent efforts of the authorities have ail but obliterated the f¢ er offences of , sional tutexication aad persecution of new cadet ‘The Board was pieased with the long-existing prac- Uce of reporung the couductand class standing of each caaet monthly to his friends, but would have been glad to find inore evidence that the labors of the academic autnorities were seconded by influ- ences from home, and that no cadet ts allowed to tall below the measure of his avilities for want of such inspiration, made doubly necessary by his long separation from his family. The introduction ana gradual extension of the system of enlarged privi- leges as a reward for good conduct is deciared WO be working very well. Instruction at the Academy ts carried on under general direction of the Superintendent and we special supervision of the professors, assisted by army officers distinguished for their attainments in the -pecial branches they are severaily detaied to teach, The division of the classes into sections, each in Charge of an assistant—the professor pro- ceeding from, section to section, imparting the benefit of his riper Knowledge to both teachers and the taught—produces a uniformity of attainment not otherwise possibie; and ts declared to be one of the best featu es in the system. ‘The blackboard illus- trations and recitations of the cadets command high praise and attest their scientific comprehension of their suojects and the faithfulness and ability of their instructors, A marked defictency in elegance and even facility of utterance was, however, 1ound to exist; and more training in logic, composition and criticism is considered exceedingly desirable. This aud other deficiencies are charged to the low standard of qualifications for admission, which 1s agserted to be two years of study velow the average of colleges and universities in our own country and in military schools abroad, and to the necessity of devoting the cadet’s limited time at the Academy to the studies especially appertaining to his intended profession of arms, While praising the attainments of the cadets in foreign languages, the Board tainks that equal attention should be given toourown. The suggested remedial measures for existing deficiencies are embraced in written as well as oral examina- tions; short courses of lectures upon physical geo- graphy as connected with military operations, and hygiene, a8 connected with the care and preserva- tion of troops in the tield, snd historical studies as @ means of education, The standard of admission should also be raised to correspond tn some degree with the standard of other educational institutions at home and abroad, Constant additions to the scientific apparatus are advised and the collections of itlustraiions of natural history. Zoology and mineralogy being found two be very lar beiow what is required, 4 pian for their enlargement and improve- ment Is recommended for adoption. Competitive examinations as the basis of appointment to the Academy are aiso suggested. The separation of the chaplaincy from the professorship of ethics, as aw act of justice to both those Important offices, now Janguishing from their enforced unton, ts recom- mended by tnis Board, as it has been by all their predecessors for many years. The study of the course of ethics has long been distasteful to the cadets, and this important branch has fallen far oelow its standard; but it is believed that the reorganization proposed would re- vive and make it popular. ‘he Board consider the proposition made to abolish it altogether as inad- muasibie, but its useful continuance is regarded as dependent upon reorganization. in drawing it is advised that more time be given to draw trom na- ture by the eye and less time to mechanical copying. In Never instruction of all kinds, and botn of a miliary and civil character, gratitying proficiency was observed. An interesting chapter of the report is devoted especially to the signal and telegraph drill; the application of these auxiliaries to military operations and the almost wonderful combinations of one with the otner, as illustrated by the cadets, exciting the admiration of the Hoard. The police of the grounds and buildings, with the exception of a want of underground drat is pronounced, after general observation, confirmed by minute examina- tion, to be exellent in every respect. ‘The Superintendent's administration of the varied concerns of the Academy, zealously aided by his staff officers, Is a8 iy commended by this as by former Boards of Visitors. In commentng upon ‘this branch of their inquiry the Board express an optaion adverse to the dispiacement, unnecessarily, of any oficers in the more responsible administra- tive posts. The fiscal affairs of the Academy are reported upon very favorably. Purchases of supplies seem to have been judiciously made at seasonabie times, and consequently at reasonable prices, and the accounts have been kept with scrupulous exactness. ‘The cadets’ hospital is large enough for the ordi- nary wants of the Academy, is well kept, but needs more hight and @ better system of drainage than cesspoois beneath the building. ‘The library contains some 23,000 volumes, chiefly scientific works, pertaining to the stadies pursued at the Academy, but with @ judicious infusion of biographical and historical works. To enable it to keep up with the wants of the age yearly appropri- ations are needed, and $2,000 is a1 Mi as the ap- Propriation for the current year. A good catalogue 1s much peeded, and one has been prepared without any cost to the government, and its publication, at a cost of $1,000, is advised. In conclusion, the Board May the it opinion that however nearly the Military Academy may have met the wants of the past, it does not, in view of our na- tional growth, the place we have taken among the gations, and the pi made of late years in the acience and art of war, meet the requirements of the present as the one military school of a great nation, and that it should be raised to @ standard unsur- Dassed abroad. They therefore recommend that the Academy be greatly enlarged, the number of pupils greatly increased and two separate courses of study Pursued—one in a general class for all the cadets, the other in a say class formed by selection of the best material im the other class—the general class to be limited to @ thorough comprehension of the elementary principies of the art of war; bat the special class to be limited onty to the boundaries of knowledge upon that sudject. Other changes are suggested as dependent upon the adop- Hon of thts proposed basis of reorganization, reach: | ing, among other things, to a return of a portion of the graduates in each year to civil life and to an entire change in the system of promotion in the army, As the result of their mvestigations the Board find that, considermg existing ovstacies, wouderiul re- sults have been aliaincd under the present organiza- tion; that many defects in that organization can and should be remedied; but that the time has come for a new organization altogether on @ greatly enlarged plan. THE BOSTON TRAGEDY. Additional Particulars—Arraignment of the Murderer. {rom the Boston Post, Auguat 5.) Since the pudlication in yesterday's Post of the ac- ‘Ene. seaaney cecurrod shortly after ten o'clock, and cre: “4 ated most intense excitement in the en borhood. ‘The police were first ap of the by Dr. Atvah » the hi jurdered of the murde! , running breathlessiy into the Fifth police sta- Dedhan street and crying that ots wile was shot, Sergeant Hartshorn was quickly despatched to the scene, and upon arriving at the house found that the viotim of the assault, Mrs. Katie Hobbs, was dead and her body lying upon parlor. Her murderer, Major Thomas L. White, stood ta the middie of the apartment, holding in his hand a re- votver, with which the deed was committed. This instrament is one of the Smith & Wesson manufac- empled, He surrendered to the officer at once with- out any show of resisiance, and quivtiy accompanted him to the station house, White, it now sppears, nad been stopping with the Doctor some aays, was under treatment for a lung disease. The facts of the shooting are substantially aa given in our tague of yeaterday, After Major White's arrest the queation was put to bim by an oilicer of (he station house as to the cause of the dreadful act, when he replied that there was no cause to justify what he had done. ‘The di Was a lady of many accomplishments and was wideiy kaown. She was about thirty-five years of age and had been the wife of Dr. Hobbs about twelve years, their union during this time hav- ing been of the most tender and aifectionate charac- ter. Before her marriage she city of housekeeper in bis family. was Miss Katie Sylvester. She was twice married, first to a Mr, Laurie, with whom she lived.for some time in Ann place. Mutual disagreement having sprung up between them she was afterwards di vorced and remarried to Dr. Hobbs, The latter has also been twice married, naving been divorced from his first wite, who is still alive and residing um this cal jor Thomas L. White is a Canadian, about thirty years of age, and came to this city in 1856 and en- tered the law office of B.S. Treanor to enter the study of law, Subsequently he pursued his studies at the office of Messrs. Burt & Lincoln. Before the breaking out of the war he was admitted to the bar and commenced practice in this city. Fired with indignation at the action of the South, ue gave up his practice and enlisted as u private in tne Ninth Massachusetts regiment, being very active in orgau- izing the regiment. At the battle of Fredericksourg he was severely wounded, and tor meriturious con- duct he was Frioerdyg to a majorship. He was di- rectly thereafter seut South and assisted tu organiz- ing several colored regiments. There he remained till after the war, being an intumate friend of Gene- ral Dent. In 1868 he was sent as a delegate to the Chicago Convention from Mississippi. Since the war he has remained in Mississippi, acting in the capacity of a registry officer, a position secured for him by General Dent. A few weeks ago he returned trom the South, coming on to New York, where he remained a few days. He came to this city two weeks ago to-day, suffering with some lung disease, and being a most intimate friend of Dr. Hobbs and his wile he was invited to thelr house, the Doctor acting as his medical advisor. Major White bas known and loved, tairly idolized, Mrs. Hobps for years. About her he was a perfect monomaniac, and in 1861, after attempting to take her life with a knife, he was, through the advice of Dr. Stedman, sent to the Insane Asyium at South Boston, where he remained about six months, As stated, after his re- turn to this city two weeks ago, he was invited again to Dr. Hobbs’ house, many friends of Mrs. Hobbs at the time remarking that they thought it very impru- dent for him to be there. Major White was arraigned before Judge Hurd, of the Municipal Court, yesterday forenoon, on the charge of the wilfal murder of Mrs. Katte Hobbs by shooting her with a loaded pistol. Mr. A. O. Brews- ter appeared as bis counsel, and in his nv’s be- halt waived all preliminary proceedings as far as the lower tribunatis couceraed. White was then ordered to be fully committed to the county jail to await the action of tie Grand Jury for the Septem. ber term. Mr. Brewster requested that, if possible, an earlier hearing might be had and that the case mnght be sent to the Grand Jury now sitting, The Court informed the counsel tit to grant the request was beyond his power and that application should be made through avother source. In view of the fact that White thas been an inmate of an Insane asylum itis thought that a ye. of wsanity will be made in his defence. ‘The demeanor of the prisoner was calm and undisturbea, ana did not evince the least agtiation. In appearance he was a man of amedium stature, His heat would seem about five feet eight inches, weight about 120 pounds, com- plexion pale, hair and mustache ight brown. His countenance wil ve familiar to many who have done business avout Court square fora number of years, Dr. Alvah Hobbs, the husband of the deceased, 1s a man a litte past, middle Itfe, rather thickset, with hair and beard sorhewhat gray. He was thoroughly devoted to his wife and 13 almust iuconsolable at the great loss he has sustained. After his return from the court yesterday forenoon, whither he had been summoned to attend the preliminary examination ot Major White, he went to his rooms, where he remamed secluded the remainder of the day, His residence was kept closed, and a large piece of crape attached to the doorknob told that it was the house of mourning and kept it sacred from unnecessary visitation. Coroner’s Inquest—Testimony of Dr. Hobbs, Husband of Decensed. Bosvon, August 5, 1869. ‘The jury of inquest on the death of Mrs. Aivah Hobbs, who was shot on Tuesday night by Major ‘Thomas L. White, held a session this afternoon. Dr. Alvah Hobbs was the first witness examined. He stated that he enterea his parlor about ten o'clock on Tuesday evening and entered into con- versation with Mr. Bullock, a medical gentleman from Providence, his wife at that time being in her sleeping room, on the same floor in a wing of the house. As Mr. Bullock was about leaving Mrs. Hobbs was sent for; she came in and entered into conversation and then sat down by a window; a few moments from that time he heard the report of a pistol; Mrs. Hobbs arose from her seat, partly opened the door into the hall, but closed it instantly and cried out to him, “Doctor, he’s got a pistol,’’ at the same time putting her shoulder against the door; he ran towards the rand had advanced a few steps when a second discharge came; Mrs. Hobbs staggered back, threw up her hands and exclaimed, “On, father (tne term she always applied to her husband), { am snot;’’ he immediately went to her, saw that she was fatally wounded, left ner in the care of Mr. Bullock and ran to the station house; when he came back a few moments after he found his wife dead; he could not see White when he first came trom the room, but supposed he might be hid under the stairs, and Pride | the shooting was not certain that he saw him at all; at tea Mr, White was very quiet, and the only conversation which ensued was in reference to a headache which that gentleman was laboring under; Mrs. Hobbs, when she went to the door, remarked to her hus- band that Mr. White was trying to frighten them; he was in the habit of firing pistols, ana the first stot was supposed to have been fired in his room until some time subsequent to the murder, when the builet was found in the parlor door; one day week White followed Mrs. Hobbs outof the house with a pistol in nis hand, but made no overtact, and for many weeks he had siept with a loaded pistol under his pillow; Mrs. Hobbs never went to his room to request him to cease reading so loud, as was reported, but sent a servant girl to do so, Further testimony of Dr. Hobbs reveaied the facts that White was a quick tempered, reckless fellow; that in the year 1861 ne was caught with a butcher's knife threatening to kill Mrs. Hobbs, but was prevented by Mr. Hobbs, who threw hum on his back, took the Knife from him and gave him tn charge of an officer. ‘Annie Coleman, 8 girl who has lived tn Dr. Hobbs’ family for some tim she heard Mr. White reading aloud and Hobbs to Tequest him to cease; but went to her own room; when Pistol fred she he reamed and ran down stati srandin at the door of the parior; she passed by him and went to Mrs. Hobbe, woo was lying on the Noor; White came in @ few moments after, Mrs. Hobbs and asked the girl if she was dead, and aiso said that he told Mra, Hobbs that he would shoot her; White stayed in the room unt the ofi- cers came in. atharine B. McCarty, who was also employed in the family, said she went to Mr. White’s room, knocked at the door and was requested by Mr. White to come in; he met her with a smuing face and asked her several questions as to what visitors were in the house; she told him and said that she came to ask bim to cease reading so loud; she went to her own room and it was there she heard the two shots fired; she had heard him on whos Ne i occasions threaten to kill Mrs. Hobbs and himself; when she went to the parlor White was Cw ag Hawg the body of jobbs. The girl further that White never threatened to kitl anybody but Mrs. Hobbs, towards whom he seemed to entertain a pe culiar spite. ‘The session then adjourned till to-morrow.

A determined movement, thoroughly organized, Was initiated some months since, to wrest tue con- trol of the Susquebanna Raliroad from its preseat management. An old express quarrel was one of the exciting causes of this strife, and questions of a similar character from time to time arose, which rendered it desirable to certain parties to secure the removal of the officers who have directed its alairs since the opening of the road. The efforts to this end have n directed with great shrewdness. ‘The leaders began carly, and have worked with per- sistence, @Some months since an attempt was made to Make President Ramsey a party to persuading the towns to sell their stock, put Mr. Ramsey deem- ing it for the best interest of the towns that they should retain it, refused to volunteer any suc ad- vice. The law prohibits the sale of stock by the town commissioners at less than par witout the vote of the towns, but they are authorized to sell at par at any time. The Opposition, finding it neces- sary to secure the stock held by the towns if they were to succeed, recently formed a coalition with Jay Gould, by which the latter was to turnish the funds for the purchase of a sufficient amount at par. It bus been well known for some time that the Erie Railroad desired to obtain control of the road, but President Ramsey has thus far stood firmly by the best interests of the people, and has prevented the road passing out of the hands of the inhabitants of the section through which it passes. This new coaii- ton threatens vhe overflow of this wise policy and places the See es nna within the grasp of the rail- road pirates of Wall street. ‘The struggle between the Erie party and the local control came toa head on Friday. Thursday night a number of carpet-baggers went out on the line of the road, bountifully supplied with greenbacks, Telegrams followed them, and early on Friday morn- ing it was Known that a formidable raid was in pro- ress. A number of commissioners arranged imme- diately tor sale. Others remained open to negotia- tion, Mr. Ramsey followed on the noon train on Friday, and from that time the contest for supre- macy waged fiercely, The (act that the Erie party procured the stock of some of the towns at less than ‘was offered by Mr. Ramsey has a suspicious look, and gives strong probability to the statement that one commissioner has received a pi ut of $5,000, in consideration of bis services in et movement, while another was offered a similar bonus of $1,000. Both parties have returned from their excursion . up the road and each claim to hold a majority of the stock. The transfer books close on Saturday and the election takes place in September. An injunction war has been inaugurated, the noted injunction Judge, George G. Barnard, of New York, naving been secured in the Erie interest for that pur- pose. were served this morning in the mat- ter of 2,400 shares of stock sold by Mr. Ramsey:some time since as president of the road; he was also en- joined trom acting as president of the road. An injunction was likewise served upon Treasurer Phelps, the complaint reciting that he refused to transfer the stock of the towns of Oneonta and Worcester, being incited thereto by l'resident msey. What the result of the issue of this injunction will be it 1s impossivie to say. Mr. Ramsey las enjoined the transfer of the stock of the town of Oneonta on the ground that it had been sold at less than par. The papers passed between the parties in this transaction, also, are ille- gal, as they lack the necessary stamp. In. the nce of President Ramsey Colonel North locked the doors of the offices of the com- pany, but they were immediately reopened by Super- intendent Van Valkenburg. A large crowd gathered about the office as there were indications of an out- lice being notified quiet was re- ard, one of Colouel North's party, seized the scrip book, but brought it back after keeping it several hours. The stock of the town of Sidney, Delaware county, was transferred to Jay Gould. The Erie portion of the Board of Directors consists of Mesara. J. H. Herrick, Jacov Leonard, Charies Coulter, Samuel North, David Wilber, Ezra Chase and J. J. Austin. They claim to have secured 10,700 shares. Mr. Ramsey is equally confident that he con- trol Majority of the stovk, which consists of 20,634 shares, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. Married.
