WEST POINT. ‘Tho Fate of the Piebes Still Hanging in the Balance—The Graduates’ Examination and ‘What May Mappen—A Professor That Put His Foot in It and a Shoemaker That Was Mado a Lord aLL ABOUT A WICKER BASKET. West Pornt, June 2, 1871. ‘The fate of by far the larger number of plebes has een decided. Who the unlucky claps are has not yet been made public, but it is said that about | ‘twenty-five of the would-be “sojers’” will have to pack up their duds and cut their sticks homeward next week. Brigham Young’s hopeful ts yer un- ertain as to what disposiuion is to be made of him, Dut he is afraid that the chances are again: Buccess. Lord Napier, the new Afteenth amend- ment, is also ON THE ANXIOUS SEAT yet, but, unlike Brigham’s boy, he fecls that no amount of wheedling on the part of the professors can Keep him out of a gray cadet sult this year. As for the surgical exammation, he poon-poohs the idea nything being ont of gear in his anatomy. He swears tat Lis heart 1s in the rigtt place, put, | if rumor proves correct, the doctor may find the traces of an ugly wound about it when he comes to examine the article, The cause of it all, they say, was o’° buxom Diack damsel, who came very near crying her bright eyes our, “way down Soul,” when his lordship left for the Wilds of the mhospitadle North, The medical poard ‘this year, however, is composed of men of common sense, Who are Willig to make all due allowance for any defect they may find in any one of the plebes which may be cured without the aid of a pill or some horrid aruggist's mixture, that must be taken once a day for ten years to be of any service; so I think Napter’s heart disease, if it really docs exist, wull not be the Geath of him at the Academy. His fate will be settled by Monday at the fu st, and until then the timid old wemen in men’s clothes who have an idea that he wil be mueoted wuse his complexion is ST COLOR may as well hold their souls in sweet patience, for fretiing about the mater aud wriung heartrend- ing aypeais to the oficers here to stand by lam will not chanve the reswit in the least. If Napier and all the other piebes can be overhauied in uine there will be no delay about the examination of the grad- Mating class on Monday. As you Know, there are only forty-one members in the class, and as not a solitary one of the ‘4mmortals’’ is such a dunce as notto be able to pass il evongh (to satisfy the conscleatious scrubles of tie examiners, the work of making officers out of the eutire lot Will be done in double quick order, J understand that THE PRESIDENT will do his best to getup here in a few days, in order to be on hand when Pred, his son, 18 = to face the music of the examimation. The ‘of his father may give Fred courage to show what he really does know; aud it may be that it will also make Uc professors remember that brederick 4s the son of his father. From all I can learn on the subject I haven't the slightest doubt th he will pass well aud honorably. There 13 cer- tainly mo person on the post Who knows young Grant who does not wish hin all the success in the World; but some ugly rumors have been set ailoat that, even if ne should fail to pass well enough to escape the fatal “defictent’’ mark, the professors ‘Will ee to it thatthe markis never made in his ease. If there is no truth m these rumors cadets | Who do not happen to have Presidents for their fathers ought to thank their stars for their good for- ne. Speaking Gi the President reminds me that | as A ROD IN PICKLE for one of the professors, and thai before he leaves West Point this mouth somevogy may get particular fits, unless he goes down on his marrow bones ae resolves to sin no more after the fashion which, is said, nas s0 excited the Presidential ire. ‘ine a8 a great iundness for writ- papers, and tne other day he wrote one In reference tothe Union League propo- sition to have a statue of General Thomas erected, and in ove part of it wrote as fukows:— Like Washington, he considered himself fully recompense for bis services when allowed only what would suitice f ‘the daily requirements of his position; and, to use the words of another, who bas portraye salient traite in just and vivid words, when, at the close o: the war, the enthu- slastic friends of General Thomas made up a purse of $10.00 to purchase for him a home, tn a qwet, modest manne: quiet and so modest that one caunot cet hold even of Fefusai to make a popular point of, he declined the gift.” ‘This sentence, it is said, General Grant considers @back-handed slap at nim: hence his reported determmation to get even with the author of it. Whether it was so intended or not it 1s pretty cer- tain that the professor h&s got the name, if he has Not got cie game, of the thing. If Le is smart he can make amends by carding it again on some su ot, and waking certaia that the President is men- ned in & way that will be gratifying to the pre- Bent incumbent at the White House. ‘There are dy quite a number of the toadyites | on the look out Jor “lions” pot a hundred miles | from here, and a few of them filastrated their char- ae rather conspicuousiy y: td hat e rise to the 1 the vi niel Drew came up wicker i i one of the wicker bask: ry objects to excite th , but this one seemed to be ah 6% 4a crowd gathered about it, ladies, utterly re. gardiess of done to silks and ov sPIXINS”?

The men were never the best of friends irom the fact that Sweeney did not approve of his sister's choice in marrying Cole.

The Insurance Congress met again yesterday morning, with President Miller in the chair. The uniform blanks upon which fire and life companies may make reports of their affairs to each State Su- perintendent, with the exception of the life balance sheet, were adopted, Aresolution recommending that the various States tegislate with & view of autnorizing the various state officers of insurance to accept reports from imsurance companies upon the uniform blanks sdopted by the Convention, was passed. The report of the committee on assets and invest ments, published some days ago, was called up, and another substituted, which lays over for the October session. General Smith, from the committee on mortality and rate of net interest as a basis upon witch to calculate value of premtums and life policies, re- ported progress aud asked that tne report stand over lor future consideration. Messrs, Ki y, Skeels and Smith were appointed @ committee to superintend the prixting of the adopted blanks, and also to consult with experts as to the form for life companies’ balance sneets. The President and Secretary were made ez-ogicio m« bers of the comunitiee. WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED.

Oficial Investigation in the Case of Bernard Devine, Killed by a Plate “Wafted” at Him By His Wile—The Wife Exencrated—A Lesson for Idie and Inebriate Husbands. Coroner Schirmer held an inquest yesterday morn- ing with the view of discovering the real cause from which Bernard Devine, 410 East Eighteenth street, whose wife haa been arrested charged witn having murdered him with a blow of achina plate on the head. Some of the neighbors of the deceased were first examined, and they testified that he was continually drunk, and was very quarrelsome, frequently beat- ing and abusing his wife. Marla Devine, the wife of deceased, was then piaced on the witness stand, and stated under oath as follows:—She had been married to him for the last six years, he being her second husband; he never worked, in consequence of which she, of course, had to wash, scrnb, and tron to support him abd herself, and to pay the rent; there had been very often DIFFICULTIES BETWEEN THEM regarding a daughter of Mrs. Deviue's, by her first busvand, whom deceased would not allqw in_the house with tim under any circumstances; on San- day nigit one of these quarrels was brought about by deceased, who was very drunk ailday; she said that she was determined to have her daughter with her; deceased asked her for mouey; she sald she had none, and he then struck her onthe right eye, knocking her down; when she got up she caugot @ plate or sau and threw it at him, hitting him on the left temple ana cutting the artery; he then threw her down on tne techie and beat ber m a feariu! manner, . It seems that after this he walked out with’; ¥ THE BLOOD FLOWING IN A STREAM from the wound. An oiticer of the Eighteenth pre. cinct met him and took him to a drug store in First avenue, but the proprietor refused fo stop the low of blood. To this inhumanity may be really at- tributed the death of Devine; for the medical testi- mony went to show that when the man had reached Bellevue he was beyond human aid. Vigorous sumulants were resorted to, but to ho purpose; for the man had lost too much blood. ‘The jury rendered a verdict exonerating the wife from any biame in the matter of his death, they be- Heving that it was in self-defence. On the rendition of the verdict Coroner Schirmer discharged Mrs, Devine trom custody, STREET CAR CASUALTIES, Another Boy Kilicd on tho Third Avenue Railroad. Join Hogan, a lad thirteen years of .age, who lived with his parents at 643 East Ninth street, died in Bellevue Hospital on Thursday evening. De- ceased was employed at 724 Broadway, and, being despatched on anerrand m the upper part of the city, took @ Third avenue car. John stood or sat on the froat platform, Which was much crowded, and when near Thirty-first street he either fell or was pushed off and struck on the track. ‘he car wheels passed over botn his thighs, crushing them terribly. Any persons who may have wituessed the occur- rence are requested to give information to the pa- rents of deceased, and thus further the ends of jus- tice. Coroner Hermann will make an investigation in the case on Wednesday next, Crashed on the Ninth Avenue Railroad. Coroner Schirmer yesterday held an inquest in the case of Charles Hastings, the lad late of 448 West Nineteenth street, who, on Monday last, was crashed beneath the wheels of a Ninth avenue car at Seven- teenth street, death beng the result. Deceased was returning from school, and, seeing a couple of boys engaged ina fight, pursued one of them, and in Perr -} the street stumbled and fell, when car No, 7, of the Ninth avenue line, passing down ata mod. erate rate of speed, passed over the arm and leg of deceased, crushing them badly, Alter hearing all the testimony the jury rendered a verdict of death from injuries acc: identany reeres.

On ’Change to-day wheat opened firm, in sym- pathy with the advance in gold, but closed heavy and dull, Cotton was steady and without essential change, except in contracts for future delivery, which were at better prices, THE DRY GOODS IMPORTS, The imports of foreign dry goods at this port for the week ending June 1, 1871, amount to $2,065,085, The entries for consumption were $1,498,349; ware- housed, $507,730, and withdrawals from warehouse, $256,380, THE NEW LOAN, The additional subscriptions to the new loan re- ported to the Treasury Department up to noon to- day amounted to $101,000, making the total sub- scription and conversions to date $65,947,050. MONEY TWO TO FOUR PER CENT. Money continued easy, but lenders make a dis- crimination against stock collaterals, on which the rates are three to four per cent, wile upon govern- monts they are two and three per cent, the supply at three per cent being unusually abundant, ‘There ‘was nothing new inthe discount market, and rates for prime paper range from 444 to6}s per cent. FOREIGN BXCHANGE FIRMER, As usual on the eve of steamer day, there was rather more doing in foreign exchange and rates were firmer, although nominally unchanged, the great firmness consisting in the allowance of less brokerage. To-day the concession was only one sixtcenth per cent, against one-eighth per cent pre- viously, Rates closed 11034 a 11034 for prime bank- ers’ sixty-day sterling and 110%{a 110% for sight bills, GOLD STRONG—1124f a 112%. The clique in the Guild Room continued their operations to-day, and moved the market up just one quarter of one per cent—a xcaie of daily ad- vancement Which appears to have been agreed upon asa portion of the programme. The rise was not maiutamed to the close, however; for the foreign bankers sold very freely against the export of United States bonds to London, where their price has advanced % a 44 per cent since yesterday. The chqne give out that the merchants of this city are “snort” of elghty to ninety millions of gold, the result of borrowing from ume to time in making their settlements with Europe, and that this enormous ‘short’? interest affords a fine basis for an upward movement. If these representations be true, the situation is cer- tamly one which can command litle sympathy for either side. The merchant who borrows gold for delivery, m place of doimg his business at the market rate of gold, enters the lst of speculators, and, therefore, subjects hime self to the risks likely to attend such a way of con- ducting his business. Were it not for what is known as the “short” interest in gold there would be no temptation to cliques to start tieso speculative operations for arise. Without it the market would arlit to iis normal position. The present combina- tion will find little sympathy among the outside public, for speculation in favor of higher gold is gradually losing power. Just a year ago a clique made a movement precisely similar to the one now on foot. It resulted in their bankruptcy. A lew months afterward the Franco-Prussian war broke out, and the sudden fall of our bonds in London to 7G sent goid to 1234%, but too late to nelp the clique, who had meantime barsted up. Even with this ex- traordinary influence underneath it go'd ruse less than 12 percent, But the movement will prove an interesting relief to the recent monotonous working of the gold market, and will bo hatled with great satisfaction by the gold brokers, ‘whose orders the past few months have been hardly suficient to parchase the saline condiment requisite to their farinaceons banquets. The course of the market is shown in the tabie:— In the gold loan market the rates ranged from 2 per cent for carrying to 1 per cent for borrowing. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as folows:— $50,508,000 + 1,486,$10 1,686,150 Currency balances. GOVERNMENTS STRO! ‘The combined influences of higher quotations for five-twenties in London and the advance in gold rendered the government lst firm at a general im- provement in prices, although dealings were not much above the average or some days past. The Inquiry was legitimate rather than speculative, representing orders from the other side of the Atilanuc. The street quotations at the close were as follows:—United States currency sixes, 1155 & 11574; do. do., 1881, registered, ex interest, 1l4a 11434; do. do., coupon, 117% a 1174s; do. five-twen- tles, registered, May and November, 111% a 112; do. do., 1862, coupon, do., 1117¢ a 112; do. do., 1864, do. do., 11176 a@ 112; do. do., 1865, do.do., 111% a Bo do. do., registerea, January and July, 110% a 11074; do. dq., 1865, coupon, do., 114% a 114%; do. ae 1867, do. do., 11434 @ 114%; ao. rads 1868, do. do., 114%{ & 11434; do, ten-forties, registered, 1094 a 100%; do, do., coupon, 110 a 11034. STOUKS DULL AND IRREGULAR. ‘The stock market was dull outside of a few specialties. Pacific Mail was the principal weak spot, and declined to 443¢ under sales which are thought to represent the beginning of a regularly organized “bear” movement against the stock. Reading declined about one per cent and closed heavy. On the other hand—to make the market con- sistent in its irregularity—Rock isiand was strongly supported by ils clique and carried to 123%, while afresh rally on the part of the operators for a rise in Lake Shore took it up to 115. The stocks thought to be unsupported by cliques were dull and heavy. Wabash went off to 6244 and Northwest to 857%. St. Paul, Erie, Ohio and Mississippi and Western Union were steady. Pittsburg and Hannibal and St. Jo- seph were weak and-lower. St. Joseph preferred declined to 98. Pittsburg broke to 120. New York Central was barely steady and the scrip weak. Union Pactfic made another feature of contrast and advanced to 34, HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES.
