BABYLON. Pope Pius the Ninth and the Patriarch— Rights of the Catholic Church—Obstinacy of the Prelate, The Paris Monde of the 20th of February, in allu- Sion to the audience wnich the Pope lately accorded to the Patriarch of Mossoul and Babylon, gives the following version of the matter of difference between these dignitaries:— Some time since those two branches of the Church Were united under @ single head. A law whtch has been in force for thirty years requires for episcopal nominations that the Patriarch should present to the Holy Father a certain number of names trom among Wich his Holiness. should make bis choice. ‘That peg as been extended to the whole of the new locese. Under these circumstances the Patriarch of Moxsoul presented to the Pope a list of persons eligible to two vacant sees, and the ontur having desigoated two bishops, sent the bulls to the Patriarch for their conse- cration. The fact seems to be that under these circumstance tuat dignitary has ailowed hi Qself to be led away by some persons, for he has made ob- jections upon objections, first of all prevending that the better course would be to permute the two ec- Clesiastics, and then that one of tiem had not an unspotted reputation, ‘The Holy Facher bas shown the most extreme condescension iu the whole of this atiair; he aunulied the two bulls and sent two others {n accordance with the wishes of the Patriarch, ‘rhen he instituted an inquiry, which resulted advantageously for the meriminated priest, and the fact was evident that the latter was the object of some underhand manoeuvres on the part of a rival, Without paying any attention vo this justification, the Patriarch persisted in is opposition. Meeting, at Aleppo, the elected, who were on their way to Rome, he declared that he would not ap; in the Council if they were to be present in the Kternal Ciy at the same time, ‘The Holy See, being desirous to spare bis suscepti- bilities, instructed the two prelates to remain where they were. ‘Che Primate arrived alone and continued hig resistance to their appointment. They were then sent for and arrived in Kome. Under these circumstances the Pope summoned Pairiarch—who was more ana more deter- mined—aud had an interview with bim by the inter- mediary of Mer. Valerga, Patriarch of Jerusaiem. From the commencement the occupant of tne see of Mossoul Was far from being conciliatory, saying that # woman was not obliged to marry &' man m spite of her wishes. Then be put forward his con- science as an objection. ‘the Holy Father refuted all the arguments, and as the other continued obstinate the Pontut imposed the alternative of consecrating the newiy elected preiates or of presenting his resignation, ‘Te Pope plainiy saw that the eastern ecciesiastic was acting under some eXtrageous suggestions. The latter asked for time to reflect; Fins 1X. granted twenoty- four hours; but insisting tuat tue otber should sign at once an undertaking to Induct tue new bishops or resign us position, Lhe Patriarch made no dim- culty and did as be was requested, the documeit having been drawn up by Mgr. Vaierga. The follow- ing day he aunounced tis assent to what bad been demanded of him, and, 1m fact, he consecrated the two preiates.

About ten o'clock they went to the banking house of the Savings Bank and seized the waichman, whom they gagged and securely tied to a cuair, Then producing their tools they commenced picking their way into the vault where the safe containing the money of the institu- tion was lodged. From then until near daylight tuey worked with a diligence worthy a bewer cause, the gagged watchman sitting by all the while witnessing their operations and unable to raise his hand or sound an alarm.

NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, MARCH 7, 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET. : FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, | WALL Spree, H Sunpay, March 6, 1570, Wall street has within the past week aforded i ample topics for reflective minds. The sudden dash towards specie payments which our finances have | taken furnishes a spectacle calculated to make tne American vaingiorious of wls country and tustitu- tions. In addition to the eguses which have pro- auced the DECLINE OF GOLD TO 112% there is one which bas not béen prominently noticed, but which has been noue the less Operative, aud that is the important position which our country bas taken among the nauons of the globe. We are no longer a little Minge of civilization on the edge of the Atlantic, but s people of vast wealth and strength. It is only since the war that Europe has come to regard us as other than.® sort of coiony, energétic and enterprising, but without stability or stamina, But’ the cable, the press and the steamship have revolutionized these ideas of us, and European wealth ia turning towards us for investment. The ocean telegraph in Particular has brought the people on both sides of the Atlantic into @ community of Suances, and the time 1s not far distant when New York, London, Paris and Frankfort will be as closely united as now afte New York, Boston, Philadelpnia and Chicago. The metropolis of America is dea- tined to be the metropolis o: the world, and ere twenty years New York will be the centre of ex change, as London now Is. The cable, in making a connection between our money centres and those of Europe, is bringing about a uniformity in the dta- tribution of capital just as the opening of a channel between two lakes brings the water of botn to the same level. Even now the moneyed operations of New York are twice as large as those of Lon- don, and every circumstance indicates that our city will be the grand clearing house for the business of the civilized world. It is because a knowledge of us is becoming general abroad that foreign capital 13 coming here or seeking investment in our government or corpo- Tate securities. The objection to us heretofore was that we were & new people, without the maturity and experience of European countries. But the three great agencies of the press, steam and tele- graph are making our institutions familiar every- where. Hence our fnanctal position ts coming to a level with that of other countries. why should United States paper money be at a aiscount of twenty per cent when that of Austria, a country bankrupt for half a century, ts only nine or ten per cent below par? THE COUNTER MOVEMENT IN STOCKS. The most singular feature connected with the deeline in gold bas been the counter movement=the advance in the stock marke:. Of course, in consid- ering this question, !t must be borne in mind that much of the advance has been due to a direct effort of the stock gambling cliques who were caught with a load of stocks on hand when gold took its sudden tumble. The cliques, in following the proverbial philosophy or Wall street and acting upon time- honored experience that stocks go up in the spring be- cause of the giutof capital at this centre, nave placed themselyes antagonistically to the course of the gold market, which they also expected to go up. But now that gold, in obedience to outside tatuences, has reststed every effort at advancing It, the cliques find themselves compelled to adopt a strategy which will inure to their success. In disconnecting the gold and stock markets they preach the doctrine that specie payments means inflation of the circula- ting medium of the country just as much as if Congress ordered an issue of as much ad- ditional currency as there is gold and silver coin in the country, Sttil it is question whether the stock market, if left to itself, would not decline, Itis this problem which keeps the public from taking any prominent part in stock operations justnow, The natural tendency of prices has been downward, and it has required all the “uli” force of the cliques to Keep them up. Whenever their heip has been suspended the market has drooped, or drifted into dulness. What the cliques will do may be gathered from their lavish use of the capi- tal now so abundant in Wall street. They are de- termined to carry out the programme on which they entered before the decline in gold interfered witn and obstructed their plans. THE MONEY MARKET. The offermgs of money on call loans have not been below the average of the past month, and the rate has been in most instances five to six per cent, The process of redemption by the couairy banks bas either been concluded or suspended, the glut of national notes not being so remarkable of late. Some of this dosorption 1s due to the greater capital required to carry stocks, now that their prices are ten to twenty per cent hfgher than at the beginning of the year. Commercial paper Is tn fair request at seven to nine per cent for the choice grades, THE DANK STATEMENT. The weekly statement of the associated banks pre- sents no important feature, except, perhaps, in the item of deposits, which have increased about two millions of doilars. There 1s a trifing gain in specie and legal tenders. The gain in specie, despite the customs payments of the week, is due to the coin disbursements of the Sub-Treasury in payment of the March interest on the ten-forties.
