FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Sarurpay, August 14—6 P. M. Another unfavorable bank statement somewhat surprised the street this afternoon, after a day of easy money, with numerous transactions at ve per cent and exceptional ones even as low a3 four. To Hind, notwithstanding this free supply of currency, that the banks had actually reduced their legal re- serve during the week to the extent of over $5,000,000—$1,800,000 by loss of specie, and $1,300,000 by 108s of legal tenders—created some astonishment, Nor was ine cause of this exhivit in the matter of legal tenders clearly understood when the heavy disbursements of the government on account of bonds purchased was considered, and at present the only explanation that can be adorded ts the as- sumption of @ much heavier moveaent of cur. Tency to the Southwest during tue week than bas been reported. ‘The loss of specie 18 easily ac- counted for by the large payments of customs duties, the importers taking advantage of the lower figure of the premium to move goods out of voud. Against this loss of legal reserve is a decrease tn (he bank Mabiliues by a reduction In the amount of the de- posits of $1,267,297, which ts more than counter. balanced, however, by increased expansion tn the Joans and discounts, amounting to $1,626,008. The banks boid of jawiul money reserve in excess of the legal reserve $20,648,296, against $23,515,761 on last Saturday. The following exhibits the totuls of the last two statements in contrast:— August 7. 264,879,357 August 14. $266, 505,365 24,154,499 83,992,257 198,952,711 54,730,089 ‘The exact figures of the changes are as follows:— Increase 1n loans... +++ $1,626,003 Decrease in specie. + 1,849, Increase in circulation.

Excess over legal res’ve. $25, Decrease in legal reserve $2,870,465, The future of the money market is engaging much of the attention of prominent and leading operators on the street, and beginning to excite among all classes, in view of Its uncertainties, grave caution respecting me loans, Thus to-day, aittough money on call was freely oifered at moderate rates, ranging in extreme figures from five to seven per cent, with the exceptions above noted, commercial paper of long date was only accepted with reluctance and discounts ruled stiff, even on prime names, at eight to ten per cent. In this connection the follow- ing extract, from the financial article of an evening paper oi this afternoon, contains matter deserving consideration, It wiil be seen that the writer bears out what was said here yesterday respecting the importance of Mr, Boutwell belug more outspoken regarding his intentions, to afford a proper oppor- tunity to men of business to act intelligently in preparing for the contingencies oi the next few months:— ‘The banks are not sanguine in their calculations upon the fall money market, and there would seem to be very obyious reasons for their pining: them. selves in a conservative position. At the date of the last bauk statement the Clearing House banks held $56,000,000 of legal tenders (reduced since then to $54,730,000—Ep, HERALD], Which may be viewed as representing their resources for providtug for the crop movements of the next ten or twelve weeks, What may be the requirements of these move- ments may be best judged irem a comparison of late years, We find, then, that in 1863 the associated banks held on August 8 $74,000,000 of legal tenders, and that on October 31 the amount was reduced to $51,600,000; that in 1867 they had $76,000,000 on August 10, and only $54,300,000 on Oc- tober 19; and that in 1866, when the crop movement came late, they held on September 1 892,909, 000, and on November 24 only $62,400,000. It thus ap- pears that for the last three years the with- drawals of legal tenders from the New York banks in connection with the fall crop move- ments have ranged between $22,000,000 and $30,000,000, Yet to meet such a drain the banks hold only $56,000,000, of which $30,000,000 consiste of three per cent certificates. Nor can it be said that the present extremely low condition of the legal ten- der line of the banks represents so much more cur- rency in active circulation in the interior, which would lessen the drain on this city for crop move- ments; for the fact is that the legal tender circula- tion has been contracted about $24,000,000 since dunt 1963, by the liquidation of interest- legal tender while a very iarge amount of United States notes are heid out of actual circulation in the South by ciose hoarding, 80 that the active circulation outside this city 1s probably somewhat less than it was a year ago. An impression prevails in some quarters that ‘the Weat has found local use for its funds this sum- mer to a large extent, instead of allowing them to remain here on deposit, and that, consequently, tt 18 notina position to draw so large an amount of money from the Kast as usual, We find, upon care- ful inquiry, however, among banks doing a Western since last week, business, that their estern§=depostts are at present larger than usual for this season, so that we stand exposed to a heavy demand from that section should the crop Movement reqnire tt. This comparison of our present position with our impending wants ts by no means assuring. It suggests the probability of our being within the next sixty days placed under the power of speculative manipulators of the money market. What may be the course of the Treasury we have no means of judging. Its action, however, must have an unusuaily intimate bearing upon the condition of the money market, and it ts not wholly beyond the range of probability that the government may be called upon for greenbacks to liquidate three per cent certificates. We have reason to be- eve, however, thet Mr. Boutwell will, as far as practicable, obviate any undue hoarding of currency in the Treasury. The markets in Wall street to-day were generally barren of interest, extremely dull and with a weak feeling. The first sales of gold were made on the street at 13434, the price afterwards advancing to 13434, at which figure it opened in the room, where it shortly advanced to 134%. From this it declined to 133% on free apecuiative sales, which it reached shortly after noon, and between which and 134 and 1345 1t continued steady for some time. Later there was a@ rally to 134% on reports of large purchases of bonds to be made by Secretary Bout- wellin September and Octover and a stoppage of gold sales after September, It was also reported that at the next meeting of the Cabinet propositions were to be considered for the purchase of Cuba, and would probably be adopted. Rumors of a decline in the price of bonds in the London market, stated on private advices, was likewise used to atd im the advance. At the formal closing of the room the price stood at 1344, and at four o'clock 134%. Cash gold, a3 on yesterday, was inactive demand at dniervals during the day, the carrying rate ranging irregulariy trom 2 too percent, To-day’s steamers took out in all $104,000 in specie, The disbursements of coin interest to-day amount to $33,457. ‘The report of the Gold Exchange Bank to-day is a8 ,follows:—Gross clearings, $71,141,000; gold balances, $2,474,493; currency balances, $3,406,187.

The Harvard and Oxford Boat RaceUriti« cisme on the AmericausThe Rumors of Foul Piay. Lonpox, August 2, 1869. The London newspapers. wiich are always satis- fled to be a week or two behind the public ta all matters of news and general interest, are just be- ginning to wake up to a reajizauicn of the fact that four spirited and adventurous young oaramen from an American University nave made a journey across the Atlantic Ocean for the purpose of entering into a friendly contest with the same nuinber of picked men from che Oxford University and with the laudable ambition of wresting from the English collegians the laurels they have repeatedly won in their famous races with the Cambridge crews. The Harvard boys having been now some ten or twelve days lo- cated at their quarters at Putney, on the Thames, we are at length favored with the opinions of the Metropolitan journals ay to their style of rowing, their general capacity as oarsmen and their pros- pects tn the approaching strugg'e. ‘hese opinions are various, and if they all savor more or less of hypercriticisms and superciliousness we may well attribute the fact to the overweaniug self-conceit which is a component part of John Bull's charaeter. If we can place reliance upon these Cockney critics all chance of the success of the young American ad- venturers, or even of a well-contested race, 13 at an end; for, by whatever course of reasoning it may be reached, the conclusion 18 the same in all the Lon- don journals, and that is that the Harvards stand no chance whatever against the gallant “hoarsmen of Hoxford, " According to one authority they are too short in the stretch, and gocording to another they are too One critic discovers that there is no strength in the beginning of their pull, another that it 1s weak in the middie, and a third that it lacks power in the feathery end. Here we are told that they work with their arms and not with their bodies, ana there that they lack the “lift together” and power1n unison. Now we are assured that the dip of thetr oars ts too deep, and now again we have the comforting wholesale assurance that they “lack style’ attogether. Ta be sure, as four strap- ping fellows, tal, straight and Muscular, and in every respect models of strength and activity, may any day be seen by the visitors to Putney sauntering on the bank or quietly pulling for practice on the river our newspaper critics are willing to admit the fact 100 C &N that the Harvard crew are fine, powerful men; but then “they haint got the style of the Hoxford fel- 00 lows, you know,” aad 30 we are led to expect the 1000 Gal Chi stm... 97” 100. do.

ROMANCE. A Divorced Couple Elope and are Married the Second Time. {From the New Haven Palladium, August 14.) About twelve months ago Richard Waite, wuose relatives reside in Bradley street, led to the hyme- neal altar, before a lat assembiage of friends, at the George street Methodist church, Miss Jepme Githings, of Lafayette street. Richard had been generally regarded as a gay Lothario, to the sorrow of his relatives, and the marriage took place in opposition to the wishes of the bride's friends; but strong love had seemingly bound tts aliken cord firmly around hi nd for six or eight months, it is satd, he lived lly with the charming woman, who, notwith: jing the reporia which Dame Rumor had whispered in her ears, had con- sented to be his wife, But at the end of that period change came over a the spirit of their dreams. For some reason, hithero kept very secret, the once happy wite determined to sever the ties which bound taem together. In Con- necticut it is—luckily for mtsmated couples—easy to obtatn @ divorce, and some three months ago the court decreed them no longer man and wife. The lady returned to her friends and the gay Richard re- turned to the pursuits which ne had followed in his bachelorhood. It is understood that Mra. Waite’s relatives were mainly instrumental in securing the separation, and that her consent was only ob- tained after continued, persistent urging on their part. It is easy to Ae the bodies, but to divoree two loving. hearts is quite a dierent matter. After th separation it would seem thas only til then did they know how aid eer Sea a ositively refused their consent. enard’s ja were Willing, and @ little more. Finding that nothing better could be done they concladed to take the matter into thetr own hands, firmly betiev- ing that cruel, hard-hearted fathers and mothers have no ge to keep asunder two hearts which Cupid bad firmly united. On Thuraday hight they took the steamer Continental for New , and those who knew of the affair in its incipiency are confident that they were remarried yesterday. The ues, man is about twenty-three years of age and he lady about twenty. blag dled both very respect- ably connected, and their it friends hope their second search for wedded bliss will be more success- Tul than the first, A Prize Fiont Intsrrsrep Wira.—On Tharad afternoon, Lieutenant Smith, of the harbor was informed.that a prize fight was about place at Point Atry, and sent a boat’s crew to the island to put a ‘atop to tt, « U the boat arriving there it was found that the fight Hing men had made thele pape Apa thes che bres ep been carried off, It was understood that aaa ae | = Pa New Jersey.—Phuadeiphia > au to their work, an crimson flag lead the dark blue at the winning post on the day or the race. . 20 Pd Nave raced over the course chosen by themselves for Bag 35 the contest, and they kuow every tura of its current, 209% 1 3544 | every ripple of its waters, while to the Americans it 209% 200 Al 69 | 13 an “unknown waste.” 00 + tego 33 ‘The Oxfords have insisted upon rowing with a cox- 5 US Express Go..... 67 455 | swain and the Harvards have consented, although . 100 Hud River RR. bet c 18534 12434 | the presence of a coxswain tn a boat ts entirely new 200 ing BR. r 193% | to them. While the Harvard students row only occa- 1 sionally as an amusement and very seldom hear a rd whisper of a race, the use of the oar is a part of the English student's education, and every season the University match calis forth @ spirit of emulation and incites the coliegians to protictency in tus their favorite pursuit. The de- giant efforts to acquire tails of an English voat. race, the condition of the river, the action of the spectators, are all familtar to the Oxford crew, while they are all foreign to the Hatvards, On the principle that every cock fights best on his own dunghuil the Oxford crew will row bever on their own river and surrounded by their friends than they could anywhere else, and nine hundred and ninety-nine men out of every thousand who witness the race will shout and throw up thetr caps and pray for the success of the Oxont- ans, All these are admitted facts, and they onl, prove that, if the Harvard men do win, they will wrench .victory from the bands of fortune against tremendous oads. But despite them all, and not- withstanding the bounce and bombast of the British blowers, there are those competent to judge who feel @ quiet confidence in the Harvard crew, which increases as they get more and more setiled down who firmly expect to see the It 18 noticeable that through all the overwise Prognostications of the London critics peeps forth & certain amount of apprehension which all their crowing does not suitice to allay. Thus we find some of the journals are making a great talk over the amount of “instruction” the Harvard men are to receive rom Kelly, the ex-champion, who has been represented as their “coach,” while one paper has the presumption to claim that they will be no longer an American crew when they are in a boat of Engiish build and have veen taught how to row by Englishmen. Now it happens that no arrangement has been made with Keily at all, ana the most he will do for the Har- vards 18 to post them as vo the course over which the race is to be rowed. itis not by any means cer- tain that the Harvards will row in an English boat aiter ail, nor are they at all dissatisfied with the boat« ihey have brought with them irom home. Lony before they launched either of their boats on the Thames they had given orders to Saiter, the English builder, for an English race boat, wtendin; to try which they iced best. As to the amount o! ““nstruction” they will receive, it may be as well to state on the best authority that they have ‘up to this time seen nothing in English rowing that causes them any alarm, or that can, in their judg- ment, teach them any more than they already know. ‘There ts, therefore, not the slightest shadow of trath in any report that they are contemplating any change of “style,” being very well contented with thetrown, and satisied to try that against their English com- petitors, win or lose. If it suffices to bring them tn @head they will not feel annoyed should it fatl.to satisty the critical taste of Jona Bull. . But are the Harvards to be permitted That is the question that just now attracts general attention. It will not escape observation that certain journals, in thetr indignant repudiation of any intention of foul play, are so incensed at the bare hint of such a thing that they discountenance the discusston of the subject, and, a8 @ consequence, any steps that may be contemplated to guard against it, Now, there is no doubt that the English nation, or the English peo- ple, or whatever may be the proper term {for general- ization, would be very indignant at any attempt to interfere with the perfect fairness of the race. It would be difficult to perceive how the English nation could be otherwise, seeing that every advantage lies with the English crew and that every one of their conditions has been complied with, however detri- mental to the Americans. But then the English nation will not be at the race, while betting men who have been backing Oxford largely at long odds, and h partisans, who would feel terribly annoyed at the defeat of the Oxonians, Will be there in puming steamboats, piratical wherries and clumsy barges. It isto be sincerely hoped, if the Harvard crew in the early part of the race give indications of supe- riority and lead the Oxford boat, that the hostile muititude on the river will not resort to foul means to deprive them of the laurela. Such an act would be a lasting disgrace to the nation, and hence it is dificult to understand why certain papers should feel so indignant at the idea of taking any measures to prevent its occurrence. It ts all very Well to abuse the American press for hinting at the possibility of euch a disgraceful and cowardly gg but then it should be borne in mind bat the experience of the past does not give any very promising guarantee tor the future. When Heenan came to England to fight the champion Sayers there was great talk about British love of fair play, and the American journalists who dared to bint at the bihty of a ‘foul’ were severely knuckles; but in, the end, when it that Sayers must be badly whip; the threatened by the manly British boxers, There are Toughs on the river as well asin the ring, and it fs incumbent upon that highly respectable ey , the English nation, to see that they do not indulge in qu customary eccentricities on the day the Anglo-American university boat race. These con- siderations make it appear singular and not aito- ther satisfactory that @ portion of the press id evince so much sensitiveness as to refuse to discuss the possibility of foul play, and hence indig- nantly spurn the idea of taking any precautionary steps for its prevention. The day of the race has not Yet been definitely Axed, and there has been some evidence of a desire to press the Havards to name the day at once. This ts scarcely fair, and it ts to be hoped et, will firmly refuse to 46 go until they feel that they have thoroughly recovered from the erect of thetr sea voyage and are tn proper condition for a three or four weeks’ practice over the course, 1a Will be little enough, seeing that the Oxford crew Will have been and steadily at work for as many months.

BALL tN HONOR OF GEORGE PEABODY.

These Springs, where in the olden times the Southern political leaders discussed and matured plans to perpetuate their power, were never the scene before of so brilliaat and gorgeous a pageant as they were last evening on the occasion of the féte tn honor of Mr. Peabody. The beauty, grace and in- fellect of the South and North, in briliant, stylish and costly costume, paid homage to the great phi- lanthropist, aud ta doing go illustrated how easy it is to obliterate the trace of birthplace and the petty rivaitry of secuions, when our people are left free by the politicians to follow their better inciina- tious. in the same vast baliroom shone resplendently the fair daughters of Vir- ginia, New York, the Carolinas, Pennsyivania, the District of Columbia, Mississippi, Louisiana and Kentucky, and it would have been diMicult for the keenest-eyed observer to have told the birth place of any of them, so (ndiscriminate were the beaux in their attentions to them all. The palm of beauty among this host of beauties seemed, however, nar- rowed down by generat consent to two fair contest- ants—both biondes—Miss Vance, of Louisville, and Miss Souter, of New York. If your correspondent had been elected umpire he would, without doing violence to lis taste or conscience, have decided in favor of the claims of the latter of the rival belles, The presence of the beauties named and their gatant escorts and admirers did not constitute the onty at- tractve feature of the ball by any means, for there were in attendance from a half dozen States distin. guished married ladies of the class who give tone to American society, and distinguished military men and civilians of more or less national reputation, General Robert K. Lee, owing w the recent deati of his brother, Commodore 5. D. Lee, did not partici. ate in the festivities, but Beauregard, Henry A. use, Commodore Maury, Colonel J. S, Mosby, Generals Gary and O'Conner, of South Carolina; Buckuer, of Kentucky, and otuer celebrities dgured conspicuously during the evening. Ha passant L may remark that no young geutleman now at the White Sulphur pays the ladies more un- remitting attentions than General Sbeauregard, and rumor has revived the report of last seasou—that he 18 addressing, with fair prospects of success, & belle from Lyncuburg. His attentions to her are certainly very marked, and I see no reason why she should not appear here next summer as the briiliant Mrs, General Beauregard. I did not observe Biacque Bey among the turong, although one of the siriking beauties among the Virginian belies looked bewitch- ing in bright colored satin and sparkling jewels as “the Light of the Harem." a The dancing commenced before cen, and the inter- minabie German was being done in the smail hours ofthe morning. The supper was @ splendid aifair, and fully in keeping wit the rest of the entertaim- ment. Sparkling wine sowed in profusion and sea- soned the supper-table talx of oue of the most brit. lant companies that,ever sab down to tabie in the spacious dining hall of the White Sulphur. By the way, you will be able to judge of the scale upon which everything here is gotten up when 1 intoria you that this bali has capacity for dining 1,500 per- sons comfortably. You need not conclude from the list above that the conspicuous gentlemen whose names are given are the oniy persons of note here, for there are hua- dreds who in their States and localities occupy l- fuential positions. For instance, there are @ hall- dozen Virginia judges whose Jegal attainments give character and weight to the decisions of the courts of that State, meimbers and ex-members of State Legisiatures, ex-members of Congress and represen- tatives of the press from six States. These, of course, ali heip to make the general society here re- markably attractive and entertaining to visitors who enjoy something else ata piace like this besides pretty faces, music and sulphur ,water. ‘The bali was a perfect gaiaxy ‘of Southern youth and beauty, with u sufticient representation from the great North to make a contrast. It was easy to dis- tinguish the Northern from the Soutuern pelle, not particularly in the style of beauty so much es in the manner of each, their dress and general deportment, Your Northern beauties, familtar with the Ce and glitter of (ashion, the pomp and isplay so often presented at Long Branch, Saratoga and Newport, bore @ nonchalant air as they were whirled tn the giddy mazes of the dance. ‘They were all charming, tf not fascinating, but tere Was @ peculiar aristocratic motion connected with them when singled out among the host of Southern beauties by whom they were surrounded. Ai! eet and dignified bearing distinguished the uthern ladies, that was forcible and striking, and their attire, though becomingly fashionable, was di- vested of that extreme gaudiness and display so re- markable in their fair cousins. All were, however, bewitchingly lovely in thelr gay costumes, and, if report speaks the trutb, many @ gallant cavalier was made @ captive by the fair ones on this delightiul occasion. So charming were ail the ladies in ap ce that it would be invidious to make distincuions; but as a matter of interest to the fair readers of the HERALD | give a few of the characters and costumes among the throng. One that atiracted t atten- tion was Miss F. Turner, of New York, who appeared as Marie Antoinette, in the full costume of the French Court, with powdered hair and white plume, looking really queenly and dignified, and as she danced with Colonei Rush, of Lousiana, as Paul Clifford, the pair were the observed of ali observers. Miss Mary Maben, of Richmond, as the Gleaner, with white underskirt striped with ditfer- ent colors, scariet tunic, biack velvet bodice, wreath of wheat aud wild flowers, and a beautiful white jace scarf round her shoulders, made a very charm- ‘ng appearance. Miss Fannie Rutherford, of Kich- mond, a3 Snow Flake, was exceedingly pretty. Miss Bell Campbell, of Richmond, who is ‘a blonde—and blondes are now tie tavorites—icoked charming in a dress of blue silk under body of smoked tissue, tur: ban of rainbow silk and tulle veil spangled with ra drops, Miss Flora Allen, of the same city, Wore a tulle overskirt, looped with Gowers and leaves, and Was much admired as Summer. Miss Mary Thomas, of Baltimore, personated the Daughter of the Regi- ment, wearing a dress of white satin striped down- ward with blue; red, white and crimson satin coat, canteen; and the graceful ltttle hat of the character set with a military air which was admirable. Miss Sallie Montague, of Richmond, was very pretty as Moonshine, in a dress of white tariatan, blue over- skirt of silk, white veil and blue mask, Miss Mary Kent, of Richmond, another blonde, with black eyes and faxen hair, wore a dress of white tarlatan, underskirt of white ailk and white iliusion veil, and was greatly admired, Misa Mary Wynne, of Baltimore, wore a dregs of white tarlatan trimmed with silver lace, decked with co- lored leaves, wings trimmed with gold lace dowers, and ber hair was powdered. Miss Sallie Ruther. ford, of Richmond, wore @ full bali dress of white musiin founced to the waist. Miss Sallie Enders, of the same city, @ beauty, appeared as Peg Womting- ton, In a dress of blue silk trimmed with point lace, hair glistening with costly jewels and fowers and powdered. She was greatiy admired because of her graceful and majestic form, and was recognized as One of the beauties of the occasion. Miss Skipwith, of Weat Virginia, @ brunette with brown eyes, re- presented the Persian Girl, in a magnificent dreag of silver foil, turban of same, with three pendant plaita wrapped with iris, Mrs, James Syms, a dig- nifled matron of Richmond and leader of the to appeared exceedingly graceful in a full dress ot Pearl-colored silk, white and plush wreath of fow- and a collar of costly lace. srs. Connor, of Lout- na, as the Marquise, personated that character to perfection, in a pink silk skirt over a dress of green satin made in the Watteu style and wearing a satin pearl necklace, Missy Thayer, of New York, as the Shepherdess, was charming. She wore an overskirt of pink silk and un- derskirt of musim. Mrs. General Connor, of South Carolina, formerly a Richmond belle, who married the General at the cessation of hostiities, wore @ full bail dress. She is anotner beautiful blonde, and in a hlac moire antique dress, vertha of point jace, and handsome necklace of pearls, looked exceedingly charming. Miss Taylor, of Geo still another blonde and & beauty, wore a dress of white tariatan, trimmed with artificial leaves, Her hair, thick and luxuriant, was loose, flowing below ‘the waist, and she attracted considerable attention. Miss Shiff, of New Orleans, a3 Queen Elizabeth, wore a dress of green velvet, ermine all round, open in front; moire antique petticoat, embroidered in gold, with magnificent jewels to suit. She is also a Dionde, with bewitching brown eyes, that made her an object of much attraction, Misa Williams, of Baltimore, wore a dress of tulle, plain, and a heavy necklace and cross of diamonds. It would be im- possible to describe all the dresses, which were of the most elegant and a, description. ‘There Cates me tL on to the press about the 1st of September, , It is expected, some im- portant political action will be determined upon.

DELAY IN THE Iss OF FRACTIONAL CURRENCY. — The Treasury Department is uneasy at the delay of the fractional curreucy. Superintendent mcCartee, of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, went to New York on Weduesday noon with instructions to settle the dificuities. age rey d @ supply greater than the demand could possibly be, the Treasurer some time since issued circulars calling in all the old fasue. The consequence 13 that large sums are dauly received at the department for redemption and there is now no fractional currency for issue. The presses im the seal room are comparatively idle, while the indications are that the strike in New York will either prove successful or the government will be compelled to take the printing under its own charge. In view of the urgent demand for the cur- rency the Treasury has been compelied to bring out some of the old issues, which it was thought had been forever dispensed with, and throw them upon the market.— Washington (August 13) correspon- dence Phitadelphia Press.
