CHURCH OF THE ASSUMPTION. Address by the Rev. Father Keevav. ‘The intense cold of last evening did not prevent he members of the Church of the Assumption from @lling the schoolroom attached to the church to ‘verfowing. About five hundred of Father Kee- en's mate and female parishioners, with FRESH FACES AND RELIGIOUS ENTAUSIASM @eveloped to a high degree, answered Ms call to order at half-past seven o’clock. Mr. Owen Mar- ‘thews was appointed secretary of the meeting, and ‘the reverend pastor opened business by calling on ‘the secretary to read the address of sympathy with ‘The Catholics of the Ci fallen into line, and, 1! large cities of the ’ the Holy Father, drawn up by the Bishop, @ssisted by bis clergy. When the secre. ‘ary had read the address Father KEEGAN ®aid it was now before the meeting, ana if any one bad any remarks to make pro orcon they wonld mow be In order. The rhetorical element of the con- @regation held modestly K and the wortay father, after a pause, accordingly spoke himself as follows :—We all know what this protest means. It 1s the heart of a child pleading the cause of a iather. The Pope, and through him the Church, has been despolied of temporalities Which have been the property of Catholics for cen- turies. But the Church EXISTED beFORE ITS TEMPORALITIES im all the pristine spiritual force and beauty with which its divine founder endowed it. We have no fear for the Church, It is not a thing of time or Subject to the changes of tne hour, and confidently can the Catholic say that his Church will live whether the Pope has AN INCH OF GROUND OR A WHOLE CONTINENT @nder him. What we protest against is that nis Holiness is fetiered and through bim the millions who acknowledge the sway of the Chare! in case he wishes to call a generai council or invite us to meet him he would do so under the surveillance of the temporal power under which he happened to find mimself. The question which the address really asks 1s, ‘Would we want to see the Pope su to a temporal prince’ We have protested. i _—— so far, are disregarded. What is to be ne A voice (coming from a toothless old man in the second ow of seats), “WE WANT WAR.”? “That is a very expensive thing,” sald the pastor, “and dangerous, too. 1 do not like to hear any pet- @ons talking war who would stay at home tnem- Belves and leave all the nghting to others—felluws that DO provost marsnal would pass. Yet ave nO doubt that something at the back ef a protest would be of some account im impressing this thing upon the usurper; and I @m sure that among us tiere 18 intelligence and manhood enough to stand by the fullest measure of oursentiments. A Mr. Reilly thought that if the Pope’s property be the property of the Catholic Church, and hence his property, a resolution cailing @nthe UNITED STATES TO INTERFERE, se Frotect its citizens’ goods, would be very much to Pol Father KEEGaN—It is not a matter forthe national | — If every man mere were to take a asket on bis shoulder and march away, the gov- ernment would not ask where we were going. We tould only say we were on the way to defend our fatner. (Applause.) This man, who claims to bea Catholic, has assaulted our father. A Voice—He 1s excommunicated. ANOTHER Voice—if he’s not, BEDAD, HE OUGHT TO BR. Father Kescas—Taere are men of every profes- sion here, in case my warlike friend’s advice were fellowed. We have lawyers to advise us, doctors to cure us, and in the last extremity we could find some decent fellows to bury us. A gentleman in the body of the hall moved that a Sominittee of seven be appointed to draft resolutions endorsing the address. This was carried and the Tr appointed the following gentiemen to act:— ‘ure Commissioner Hugh McLaughlin; Dr. John 8, Young, George M. Nichols, Marriott M. Kinney, Thomas Horan, Daniel Bradiey, Frank Han- jon. The committee and Father Keegan retired for about fifteez. minutes, and meanwhile a number ‘of speecties were made by members of the church, cipally composed of remarks on their own un- tness to say anything on the matter, There was one exception, Mr. MoClarey, who spoke with a mrong North of Ireland accent. He said:—‘*The cleergy tere Reon aes ie usa id about poverty being o blessing, but it seems when it comes to themselves i THEY DON'T LEPK IT. A VoIce—Mistuer Reporter, take that down. The committee presented te following resolu- tons, which were tuunderingly adopted:— Resolved, That address, as read, be adopted, Resolved, That we, the members of the Church of the As- gumption, send forth our solemn protest agains: the spo.ia- tion of the temporalities of the Church, and also of the in- utles and outrages committed against our Holy Father, Resolved, That we shall use every legitimate means to re- ‘store the Fope to bis lost rights. Resolved, That if moral euasion be not sufficient to accom- by er wishes we shall be prepared to act in unison with ‘Catholics of Christendom to use apy and every means to Feinstate him in the rights of which he bas been so ruth- easly deprived. THE COMMITTEE. The meeting then dispersed in the most orderly manner. AT ST. JAMES’ CATHEDRAL, ‘Jermon by Bishop Louzhlin—Speech of John O’Maboney—The Address to the Pope. After the ten o’clock mass yesterday at the Homan Catholic Cathedral, Jay street, Brooklyn, the Right Rev. Bishep delivered an eloquent sermon on the Fight of the Pope to have and to hold temporal power in the dominions lately possessed by him, but ‘which are now controlled py Victor Emmanuel and his troops. The Bishop took his text from 8st. John’s Gospel, XxXi., 14-16. He contended that the injunction ‘Feed my lambs, feed my sheep,” therein contained, was an order equally in force now, and was directed to the head of the Church, the beloved Pontif, Pius IX. He described with much force and vigor ‘the rise of the temporal power, and insisted that entire freedom of aciion could not be attaimed by the Vicar of Christ as lovg us Rome was held by a foreign Power. THE PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL ‘Were asked for the Vicar of Christ. At this juncture Bishop Loughlin announced tbat in the evening a mass meeting would be beld in the cathedral for the purpose of publicly expressing sympathy with lis Holiness in his aMiction. At eight o’clock in the evening the Cathedral was Milled to overflowing, the severe weather notwith- mtanding. Father Turner, the Vicar General, pre- sided. After a few prejiminary remarks, which ‘Were not distinctly heard, Mr. John O'Mahoney, of Brooklyn, addressed the audience at considerable Jeugth, setting forth the injustice of the Trahan invasion of Papal territory and denouncing the King of italy and upholding tne Pope in bis protest against secwar interference in Rome.

CHURCH CF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL, E. D. Adcresses by Mr. S. J. Colaban, Rev. Father Mullane and Others. Between three and four hundred of the parishioners of St. Vincent de Paul assembled last evening in the basement of the church on North Sixth street, Brooklyn, E. D., to protest against the Italian usur- pation of the Papal territory. The Rev. Father MULLANE, pastor ef the church, called the meeting to order, after which Mr. Alderman Nojan was appointed chairman; Mr. John Kelly, secretary, and Messrs. John Liensky and John O'Brien, vice presidents, Mr. NOLAN thanked the meeting for having called upon him to preside, and stated the object of the meeting, Mr. S. J. dressed the meeting. CoLauaN then came forward and ad- fle said it devolved upon him to present for their adoption a resolution which | he thought embodied the sentiments which per- vaded them all. They were assembled upon the call of their Bishop made known w them through their religious fathers. Tne subject was one which, when touched, was deaier than llie— their religiod—the old Catholic religion. It was ex- tremely pleasant for him to think that this was a matter in the advancement of which they could act with so much unison. They were assembled there to express the feelings which animated them in ref- erence to the efforts made by the UPSTART ITALIAN GOVERNMENT to do away with institutions and rights that had been recoguized since the time of Charlemagne — efforts to drive out their Holy Father from those civil possessions which are necessary to give him that independence which he should have in the exercise of his spiritual functions—to upset in- sututions dear to the whole world, because they have always fostered learning and science from a repertory, aud preserve the productions.

In the year 814 St Sylvester was elected Pope, and during his reign Constantine the Great ‘was converted to Christianity, and the Church came forta from the BAPTISMAL BLOOD OF THREE CENTURIES and the gloom of the catacembs, unconquered and unconquerable.

Is not the name of Christ biasphemed and torn down irom the walls of time-honored sanctuaries of learning? Havo not the proud enemies of Christ and the unbelieving Jews become professors in Chrisuan colleges, changing them into pestilence? Have not the gates of hell, therefore, prevailed, has not the infidel conquered the Church, has aot Rome almost tallen? auswer, No! ‘This answer 18 explained by three facts, Firstly, the persecu- tions of the Church are the fulfiment of prophecies that prove the divine institution and miraculous perseverance of the Church. Secoadly, the present persecutions are unmistakable aud certam signs or apeedy victory, and thirdly, the Vic tory is beginning already to achieved. The founder of the Chureb foretold His own death, and then told his disciples that the servant ‘Was not greater than the master, You will stand before goreyg aud kings, and whosoever killeth you will think he nath done a service to God. ‘The World will hate yeu, but fear not, I have overcome the world. ‘The history of THE CHURCH FOR THIRTEEN CENTURIES fulfilled these prophecies. The first twenty-six pontuits were all put todeath. In the beginning of the fourth century the Emperer of Kome was con- verted by a briliwnt cross, with the inscription, ‘In ‘this sign thou shalt conquer.” The religion of Carist soon became the religion of all adjacent nations. France, Ireland, #ngland, Germany and all ine other nations of Europe were converted by the apostles who had been sent forth by the successor, ef Peter of near forty martyred pontitfs, The con- verted nations, especially Italy, glorified in offering ‘ifts to the altar and paying special honors to tne | Sovereign Ponti, The greatest of the converted nations rejoiced in elevauing the Pope to the kingly dignity and making him the first of kings.

In this relation the learned Doctor said no Catholic believing in the dogina of infaliibility could logically refuse to uphold the temporal power when the infallible head of the Church nad recently de- clared the taking away of his temporal authority was both sacrilegious and unjust. For here isa statement tka: touches morals, and in things Telated to faith and wmerals the Pope, speaking ex cathedrd, was infallible. ‘Tue not to comment at length upon this subject, because | preacher concluded his discourse hopefully beliey- {tv was one with which they were familar. It was the sactum sanctorum of thelr religion that was assailed. While it was deemed advisable for them and the TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS OF CATHOLICS throughout the globe to express their sentiments — there; anent they had an abiding faith that no work could possibly interfere with the Churet ight triumph temporeruy, and hai done so; like the revolutions of the earth, the Catho- Church existed and would continue to exist through the ages.

On being put to the meeting the resolutions were carried by acclamation, Rey. Father Mullane then delivered a stirring which was trequently applanded.

But when MEN SUCH AS BELCHER called St. Paul a blear-eyed, insignificant Jew, and an individual in the New YorRK HERALD ot to- day states that, even were Beecher to call Jesus Christ by such opprobrious Sprrane the people of his charch would still stick by him—they wonld readily perceive that it was rather an age of bias- phemy and that infidelity was spreading over the Christian world. The Church had been baptised in blood and might, perhaps, finish ker career in blood. From the date of her birth tll the present time she had met with nothing but persecution, triais and snffering, but in the midst of them all the Lord was ever ready fo stretcn forth His hand and bid the waves be sill.

It having been generally understood that the the temporal sovereignty of the Pope were to be attackgd by a charge along the whole line of the Catholic defences in the City of Churches yesterday evening a strong con- ; ungent of both sexes assembled in the beautiful The after- noon was bitterly cold, and 2t half-past six o’clock the plercing wind cut through the heaviest cloth- ing like A BLAST OF RAZORS, leaving not & soul to be seen on the streets save the intrepid devotees who hurried to “assist”? In the pious onslaught, and whose zeal tn the cause of the Holy Father could not be cooled by any amount of blowing from the bellows of Boreas. Sexton Shea, the upright and amiable but uncompro- mising foe of Re Galantuomo anid Garibaldi, was on hand early, and marshalled his forces with promptness and skill, while to the neutrals, who came to survey the battle from afar, as it were, be furnisned positions of vantage and safety. It isto be regretted, however, that the utmost exertions of his subordivates in the lower regions failed to sup- ply the desirable amount of physical warmth to his congregation. The immediate vicinity of the heat- ers was tolerable, but im all other parts of the building the atmosphere was nipping hoses at a terrible rate, and the chorus of ee | was congregational and continual. To add to this daampening discomfort the meeting was not organized uatil about an hour and a half after the appointed time. At jength the pastor, Father Taaife, and nis curate, Father McElroy, fellowed by a number of lay gentic- Men, emerged from the sacristy and occupied chairs within the rallimg of ‘the sanctuary.

(Ap- lause.) Pithe Rev. Father Fanenuty spoke brieny to the same effect, alter which the mecting waa brought to a close, ST. CHARLES BORRONEO. Address by tho Rev. Dr. Freel. The Roman Catholic church dedicated to St. Charles Borromeo, and located in Sidney place, South Brooklyn, was last evening crowded to reple- tion by one of the most fashionable Catholic con- gregations in the City of Churches. The object of the meeting Was to sympathize with the Sovereign Pontiff In his existing trials ana virtual captivity, and protest against the sacrilegious hand that bas seized the Pontifical States and robbed Christ's Vicar of lis temporal crown to the detriment of the Spiritual. Solemn vespers were commenced at hali-past seven o'clock; and when the last note of that sublime hymn of praise—the “Magntficav’— haé died away, the pastor of the church (the Rev. Dr. Freel) ascended tue pulpit and read to the as- semblage the address to the Sovereign Pontif, drawn up by the Bishop of the diocese, in bebalf of the clergy and people of Brooklyn. After the reading of the document, which was signed by many members of the congregauon tu the name of all, Dr. Freel delivered an eloquent dis- course. He took his text from Matthew, chapter 16— “Thou art Peter, and UPON THIS RUCK 1 WILL BUILD MY CHURCH, and the gates of hell shail not prevail agaist her.’’ The word “Church,” he sald, did not mean here a buliding; fer the body or the soul of Peter could mot be a foundation for an edifice upon which 6brist waa about to establish His Church, Christ meant vo say that He was abou to establish a Christian society, of which Peter should be the support and nead and director. It was in this sense St. Paul designated the Church a house of the hiving God (Timothy il, 15). in the same epistie he calis the Charch the pillar and ground of truth, Our Divine Redeemer appointed St. Peter the president, the ruler and teacher of His society. ‘reed My lambe; feed My sheep.” It is, therefore, believed that the Son of God appointed a head, a ruler, it matuers not by what name you call him. He appointed St. Peter Supreme Pastor, Sovereign Pontif, Pope. THR WORD “POPE,” which is an abbreviation of “pater patrum’ or “pasior pastorum,” means father of fathers or pas- tor of pastors. St. Peter was the first pope, and ap. rl Qad innumerable other martyrs, where order and peace and Zora Pre tn’ the ascendant. In view of these outrages, ‘al loyal and devoted Cathollcs the world in the expression of sympathy ‘with them, we agefust the y, the utter’ depravity, the unscrupulous juman cruelty by which’ these things have fected, While we contemplate the sad state of vhings existing with borror and indiguation, we bless Goa for Berrortttude which He nas given you, and, encouraged oy your example. we are Dot Our trust fs in Gi pomted by Christ.

CHURCH OF MARY STAR OF THE SEA 1n St. Mary’s parish the meeting was held in St. Mary's Hall, Court street. Ameng those present ‘were the Rev. Father Cassidy, pastor of St. Mary's church; Rev. Father Heffern, Mr. Bernard Hughes, Captain Cunningham, Justice Delmar; Drs. O’Brien and Ambrose; Messrs. Roberts, Delaney, Hays, Le Marsh, Shortly after eight o'clock Mr. Bernard Hughes nominated the Rev. Father Cassidy as Chairman of the meeting, and Mr. Jarvis Kilpatrick as Secre- tary. This motion was unanimously adopted. ADDRESS OF THE CHAIRMAN. Rev. Father Cassidy on coming forward to deliver the opening address was loudly applauded, He said it was the first time in his life he had been called upon to occupy such a position. Tkey were there to-night as citizens of the United States and as freemen, and above all and before all as Catholic freemen (cheers), for that was thelr first duty. They had heard some persons say, country first and relizion next, but he said their first duty was to their religion and next to their country. They were there to express their feelings and opinions in respect to the Holy Father— those opinions would be wafted on the wings of the press—would reach the Roly Father, now con- fined in the Vatican, and they would there give him consolation. They were further to express not only their sympathy for the Holy Father for the indigni- tes that had been inflicted upon him, but to de- nounce the RACRILEGIOUS USURPATION of the Papal territory by Victor Emmanuel. Histery revealed Dosis like it, except what had been done by the Goths aud Vandats. Victor Emmanuel held himself out to be & true and faithful son of the Church, He was in duty bound such; yet he commanced his army to be put in motion to wrest from the Holy Father that portion of territory whica Tematned to him and confine him within the walls of the Vatican, to discharge his sacred duty only at Lod will aod pleasure of @ sacreligious robber and 18 BAND OF CONSPIRATORS. To-nignt the Catholics of Brooklyn, from one end of the city to the other, expressed their sympathy with the Holy Father, To de- nonnce the sacrilegious robber and his con- Spirators 160,000 Catholics raised their voices to-night against this act of spoliation and robbery. Their voice would go across the Atlantic; their sentiments of sympathy and love for the Holy Father would be ‘read in every country mm Europe; every nation in the werld would know nat they raised their voices and protested against the injuries inflicted on the glori- ous Ponthil, who could not be terrified or diverted from his noble career. (Cheers.) Tne reverend gen- tleman then went on to show that the Pope was not free in Rome, that THE OROSSEST INSULT HAD BEEN OFFERED to clergymen in the streets of that city carrying the Plessed Eucharist to dying sinners, and that the Italian government had used every means in 1tg power to outrage Cafholic sentimen and feeling in addition to its robbery of the Papal territory, while falsely boasting a free Church ina free State. He adverted to the floods that had visited Rome, and asked if these were not a v@itation from heaven and a manifestation of its displeasure at the usurpation of Victor Emmanuel and his band of rovbers, Victor Emmanuel wanted to know what terms the Pope would make with him, but the Holy #ather replied, “We have no terms to offer; no terms to ; Mr. Bull bit Mac's nose compictely off. make with you.” So long as he lived the Pope WOULD NOT YIELD ONE INCH of the patrimony of the Church. (Cheers.) There coula be no fears for the Church that had now lived eighteen hunared years. The Pope would remain in Rome, — an he would there see trnth and justice established, no longer to be trampled under feot. Having given an elaborate and careful review of the present condition of affairs at Rome under the rule of the Italian King, which the reverend gentleman described as being opposed to the trae spirit of liberty, he concluded an eloquent address amid the appiaase of the mect- ing. THE ADDRESS AND RESOLUTIONS. An address to the Holy Father similar to that read i& the other churches was then adopted, as also _re- solutions expressing the sympathy of the meeting tor the Holy Father. Speeches were also delivered by Mr. Bogan and at or Hughes, alter which the meeting ad- jourmed, AT THE CHURCH OF PAUL. ‘8. PETER AND Address by the Rev. Father S. Mal The meeting of the parishioners of the Church of Sts. Peter and Paul, Brooklyn, E. D., was held in the jarge hall adjeining the church. The atiendance Was numerous and respectable, Rev. Sylvester Matone, the pastor, presided, and read the ad- dress to his Holiness, which was listened to with deep attention. In commenting upon the docu- ments the reverend gentieman said that there was nothing political in its character or objectionable in its terms. It was merely am expression of the sym- pathy entertained by the faithful for the Holy Father in {us present aiflictious, That sympathy no true Catholic could, in his opinion, withhold under the circumstances. He did not, of course, for a mo- ment delude himsetf with the idea that Victor Em- manuel or his coupciliors would pay any attention to the remonstrances of the Catholic world, but no doubt Gou would hear the prayers of the faithful and in hisown good time restore the Holy Father and cover his enemies with confusion. At the cenclusion of the speaker’s remarks the address was adopted unanimously and signed on be- half of the meeting by several prominent members of the congregation, after which the meetmg ad- Journed.

Brady’s Jersey City Rink. ‘The masquerade carnival of the Jersey City Skat- ing Club at Brady's Rink on Saturday night was a success complete and well deserved in the excel- lence of the arrangements. There were about 1,600 persons present, of whom one-third were in fancy costume, whose many colors, blending with those of the decorations of the rink, made up a very handsome scene. The rooms of the club in the building were finely adorned with fags, while Mr. Biggs’ injunction to each chrysulis skater to “stnke out boldly and you'll get along nicely” was placed in the background, aud upon the panels between the windows addresses of welcome to various other clubs.

Row at Taylor’s Uetel—A Carniverous Eng- listman and a Mulifated Hibernian. Last evening, about nine o’ciock, an affray oc- curred in Tayior’s Hotel, Jersey City, in which the principals were a descendant of the old Geitic race, named McDermott, and an Englishman, whose name was not ascertained. The men had a warm dispute, tu the course of which Mr, Bull cast some aspersions on that branch of the Hi- berulan tribe to which Mac belonged, and the latter was not slow to resent it. The combatants clinched and fell, and in the struggle which followed AS soon a3 the men were separated and Mac’s mutilated visage was exhibited there was an outcry raised against the cockney Which might have resulted seriousiy for him had he not skedaddied and taken passage on a jerryboat to CorUandt street, New York. He alleges 1n justification of his caruiverous propensities that McDermott drew a knife upon him. As the police were not apprised of the case no arrests were made, CAUGHT INTHE CLOSET. Between eleven and twelve o’clock on Saturday nigbt Mr. EK. Dunham, residing at 1,060 Broad street, Newark, was disturbed by a strange noise in the lower part of nis house. He stole quietly down atairs, aroused his colored coachman, and together they made @ tour of the basement, both being pro- vided with sr they offensive af defensive. In the kitchen closet t man secreted who gave his name as Gral he was warming himseif. His him removed to warmer quartera at the station house. Here he gave his name as James Dolan. At another time he said his name was O’Brien. He is held for trial on charge of belng @ professional sneak thieL 6, 1871--WITH SUPPLEMENT, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, WALL STREET, } Sunpay, Feb. 5, 1871. THE GENERAL TRADE OF THE CITY during the past week was unsatisfactory, and rather more complaint was heard among the merchants, most of whom anticipatea that with the 1st of Fev- ruary there would be considerable buying as a be- ginning of the spring trade. Tne city hotel regis- ters show the presence of a fair number of out-of- town merchants; but thelr purchases so lar nave been confined to small lots, At the Cotton Ex- change some litue activity was felt after the news of the capitulation of Paris, and particularly when the bullion statement of the Bank of Eng- Jand on Thursday last showed a siight gain; but the Liverpool market continued curiously sluggish, and speculation at this point was drooping at the close, with @ dull market. In breadstuffs an active inquiry, based on the same influences, led to mod- erately large dealings, and on one day to an excited markét, but toward the end of the week buyers re- fused to follow the advancing prices of seliers, and the market closed heavy and quiet. IN WALL STREET the important news from Europe has but trifling effect, comparatively. Tne truth 1s, the spread of intelligence by the telegraph and press has, go to speak, produced a@ grand levelling of tho world’s sources of excitement and sensation. The fall of Paris was discounted long ago. Our markets felt the influence in advance, and the event comes with- out abruptness or power to disconcert the even tenor of our financial and commercial ways. The first response, such as there was, came from THE GOLD MARKET, which answered with a steady rise ef about one per cent. In fact the market was reluctant to move, and might, perhaps, have remained somnolent at the old figure of the month of January had not sev- eral prominent operators who are in the habit of initiating speculative movements overcome its inertia by purchasing several millions of gold. ‘The “street”? took hold iazily, in spite of this bril- Mant example, but seemed content with small margins of profit, and hence each fractional advance brought ont sellers. The legitimate de- mand for goia luckily assisted the operators who had gone in for # larger rise, or the indifference of the market generally would have saddled them with their load. The heavy imports since New Year's, by occastoning a steady drain of gold intu the Custom House, furnish the at present only basis for the advanced figures of the premium. The German bankers took more interest in the mar- ket than usual, but followed no continuous policy, the buyers of one day having been the sellers of the next. The disappointment of the “bulls”? at the gain in the Bank of England's stock of bullion and consequent refusal to alter the discount Tate produced a decline on Friday, which was ac- celerated by speculative sales. The last day of the week saw an exact reversal of this movement on the report, which was indnustriously circulated In the Gold Room, that General Butler, the great Ang!o- phobist, at least on the Alabama question, was to be tendered the place of Secretary of State in President Grant’s new Uabinet. The extreme fluctuations daily in the price of gold during the week were as follows:— Highest, Lowest. Mon fay. ns 1105 Tuesday ms ill Wednesday 1113s lily Thursday. 1% lili Friday.. +» 11% 111% Saturday... 11% 111% THE MONEY MARKET. The rates for money were steady throughout the week at four to five per cent where the collaterals pledged were government bonds, and five to six per cent upon miscellaneous securities. In tact, the supply gradually increased at these rates and toward the close some difficulty was found in en- deavoring to get better than five per cent upon the active stocks or such as have a ready market every hour in the day. The best feature of the season ts the greater facility with which commercial paper is discounted, the fact indicating both a con- fidence in the mercantile community and a full sup- ply of money. Prime acceptances were taken quite freely at seven per cent, and where the paper was strictly excellent buyers had to allow even a smaller “shave.” The forelgn exchanges were frm in the vicinity of the shipping point, but it remains to be seen whether the leading bankers have not been too timid about drawing, for the circumstances on which rates were advanced during the week have been discovered to be In some degree fictitious. THE BANK STATEMENT, ‘The weekly statement of the associated banks is very favorable, the chief feature being a gain of nearly two and @ half million dollars 1n the surplus reserve, which now stands at $18,632,735. Despite the continued heavy payments for customs during the week, the specie shipment to Europe and the suspected locking up of some gold by operators for a rise in the premium, the specie line has fallen only about $1,100,000, while the legal tenders have in- creased over $4,600,000, owing to the natural move- ment of money to this centre at this season, as weil as to the return of locked up greenbacks to circula- tion. The deposits show an increase of over four millions. The statement contrasts with its prede- ceasor as follows:— January 28. February 4.

THE STOCK MARKET. The stock market has made no progress beyond the culminating price of the recent campaign, and the figures of Saturday evening are all below the best made in January or midway of the week. The cliques have been free sellers all around; but despite the withdrawal of thelr support the market has shown a recaperative tendency ,which is explained by the fact that, at this season, the public and ont- siders really have more power than the combinations, a superiority which they derive from the ease of the money market and the inevitable drift of stocks to higher prices in the presence of easy money. If the stock market should pursue ita way during the Spring to higher prices, as it most likely will, it will not be the first time that the boat bas continued going after the oarsmen have jumped out. A rising market devoid of clique manipulation would, 3 4,252,930 4,606,354 moreover, be @ salutary sign and tn- spire confidence. It should be understood that the cliques did not unload through any apprehension that prices would not go higher. But they hoped and yet hepe to see the market set- Ue back in order that they may repeat their usual Process of “milking the street’ in the main rise. But they forget that the street is learning to speculate. ‘The clique movements are watched and known now more than they used to be. The public on their side form a grand outside clique which the smalier com- Dinavions may yet learn to respect and dread. THE GOVERNMENT LIST. At the government board the week was one of animation and buoyancy. Several reasons contri- buted to this state of the market. ‘he enlarged programme of Treasury purchases for February was the main secret of the general rise, but the foreign bankers assisted by thetr purchases for the Euro- pean market, in which with the restoration of peace @ fresh interest in American securities 1s anticipated, ‘The shipment of our bonds to Europe during the iast #x months was almost nominal, so that there is a large margin for ex- pectation on the score of a revived demand. @ostng of tho Long Room:—Western Unioq Telegraph, 465 a 46%; Pacific Mall, 43% 4854; New York Central, consolidated, 98% @ New York Central, scrip, 894 a 89%; Erle, 214 8 21: Harlem, 125% @ 125%; Reading, 97% @ 98; Lake Shore, 9434 a 9434; Northwestern, 75 a 1534; a0, pred ferred, 84% & 84%; Rock Island, 107% @ 107%} St, Paul, 6836 a 5334; do. preferred, 74% @ 74%] Wabash, 623, @ 52%; Ohio and Mississippt, 357¢ & 36; Boston, Hartford and Erie, 2a 234.
