rs Pere FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Touwspay, August 17—6 P. M. ‘The stock market was excited to-day over vague and uncertain rumors respecting possible and pro- bable changes, combinattons and other movements in ratiroad circles, The announcement of the meet- ing held at West Point last night of such prominent OMmctals as J. Gould, of the Erie; A. Boody, of the Toledo, Wabash and Western; E. B. Phillips, of the Michigan Southern, and J. H. Devereux, of the Lake Shore, gave rise to many surmises as to what the object of the conference could be, and many Speculations concerning its probable result. Wabash became active and advanced upon the fAasumption thats consolidation of that road with the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern in the interest of Erie was under consideration and likely 0 be brought about, and, tt was even stated, had progressed so far as to have presented an agreement ‘on the part of the Ene road not to build the new line they purpose from Akron to Toledo as one of the conditions of its fulfilment. Lake Shore likewise sbared in the activity which that consultation had produced in Wabash, with, however, other and it may be additional incentives thereto, It is known that the New York Central management, not having ‘een able to make what they regarded as satisfac- sory arrangement with the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern direction for the conveyance of through freight to Chicago, are sending all freight of that de- ‘Scription over the Michigan Central road—a much donger and leas direct route, An alliance between the Erie-aud Lake'Shore, in opposition to the two Cen- trals, is therefore regarded ha. not. unlikely of early accomplishment, the superior advantages offered by ‘the latter to snippers in the quicker transportation afforded being regarded as suMcient to guarantee it the larger share of this tbrough trafiic. The street ‘was likewise agitated by reports of coneultations between the managers of the rival trunk lines now 4n conflict on the ireignt question, with a view to end the present damaging condition of things, which has begun to extend to the passenger trafic. It is stated that a meeting was held here to-day of the Tepresentatives of the New York Central, Erie, Penn- sylvania Central, Baltimore and Ohio and Lake Shore and Miohigan Southern roads to revise the tariiy, and ft was generally asserted that the present low rates Would, as the resuit of @ common understanding, ‘be goon discontinued and a more profitable tanle of freights adopted. In addition to these exciting re- ports the anriouncement of the indefinite postpone- woent of the work of consolidating the New York Central and Hudson River roads, in consequence of the severe indisposition of the treasurer.of the for- ‘mer, operated to produce its share of disturbance in the market, while there was a revival of the old stories of efforts being made by the leading trunk roads to the West to obtain con- trol of the Northwestern or Rock {sland road, or both, with a view to secure @ connection with the Pacific Raltlroads. Notwith- @tanding all these various and sensational stories, ‘which floated around the gireet during the day, the qearket did fot exhibit any very considerably in- creased activity, unless exceptionally in these stocks mentioned, Wavash being the feature of the list and gelling up to 79 on the street in the morning before ten o'clock, with large dealings at that figure, From ‘this it reacted below 76, but recovered later, and at the close was 7734.

Those are profound changes in our institutions, and the mention of them aloue is sufl- cient to show their importance. We must, however, explain rapidly the motives which have decided the government to lay before you eachof the provisions we have just indicated. PARAGRArH I.—The Emperor alone at present the{niilative of broposing laws. ‘The legllative body can make known !ts Ideas on the measures it may consider neces- sary for the Interests of the country, by means of amendments to the bills of the government, or’ by interpellations which from their nature only express the sentiments of the Assem- blyinan incomplete manner. In future it will be enabled to put its thoughts in clear and precise language, on whichan untrammelied discussion can take place.’ At the moment when the right of presenting amendments {s ‘about to be exercised in all its plentitude the course {s only hatural to recognize inthe legisiative body the privilege. of initiative which springs from the same principle and responds to the intentions by which the present reforms have been dig- tated, But in lf tormer assemblies the exercise of that facully of originating laws wag, in order to prevent the abuse of St, submitted to restrictions.

In a deliberative assembly placed in presence of Minis- | tors the necessity for interpeliattons arises almost from the nature of things.

The Austrian Minister of Public Worship ad tn tertm has sent the following dispatch to the Gover- nor of Lemberg in reference to the convent scandal Cracow:— at . Vrenwa, July 29, 1862 The revolting facta whi occurred and the legitimate indignation aroused against the nuns by the discovery im- poseon the Imperlal government the duty of most serious! Ponaldering What measures ought tobe taken, First of all arises the question whether that community can continue to Rieeive the annual eubyention of 1,800 florins which bas Hitherto Deon paid to it in virtue of an tenpertal, deciaton o¢ the 5th June, nd which is prineipally taken from the Fesourcer of the state. But the government cannot confine Teel to that point. In consequence of the natural excite- sient everywhere produced by this affair of the Carmelites, The Cabinet 1s compelled to consider whether the continua: tun of the existence of this convent—from which, under the Inost favorable hypothesis, no good work can be expected Tor many years—is reconcitable with the public interest. On this #ubjeat I request you to place yoursel( in immediate Communication with the diocesan, Bi tant he may. give his opinion, aa to whether the maintenance OL the Carmelite nunnery is desirable, even on bel Church itself, be pleased to inform mo as soon as cossible of the repiy, as well a8 your own views. bi know at once if, In your judgment, aay reasons can be Urged against the immediate withdrawal Of the allowance. 1n case none such exist the imperial go" ernment believes itself bound to stop the payment forthwith. wl - The Kraj, of Oracow, atates that the judicial com- mission appointed to Lay the case com- menced their researches on the 28th ult, by goin over the convent in company with an escort ol police, in pasaing through the refectory they dis- covered a secret chamber Sontaininig ‘& whole collec. tion of medieval instruments of torture. Among these were two huge crosses, weighing eighty pounds each, which guilty nuns had to wear on their backs a8 ®& punishment; two heavy stones of marble to be placed on the chest, and number of “crowns of thorns” with long and sharp tron nails. There were also several girdles, also fitted with nails point- ing inward, which it 1s said were worn next the kin by penitents, and a sort of knout ior flogging the refractory. The Commissioners next proceeded to the chapel and found in the choir four coffins con- taining the bodies of former abbesses. The corpses are well preserved and can be seen through the up- per surfaces of the coffins, which are of glass. The inquiry lasted all day, but nothing else worth notic- ing Was discovered, A lotter from Cracow in the New Free Press, of Vienna, 8ay In, consoquence of @ calamitous denunciation, the authort- ties have made ® minute perquisition Iu the convent of Fran- Ciscan nuns, Dut everything was found sn. the most periect order, and no dingeons or places of concealment were dis- covered.
