FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, IN GOVERNMENT — BONDS. ADVANCE More Bullion Drawn from’ the Bank of England. The Stock Market Dull and Unsteady. Vienna Panic Subsiding. 'The NO FURTHER ADVANCE IN GOLD. Money Still Easy and Abundant. Mowiy an ee } On 'Change to-day cotton on the spot was neg- lected, while “futures” sold moderately at a decline of 3-16c. per lb, Flour was in fair demand and firm, Wheat was quiet and easy, while corn was dull and lower, COMPARISON OF THE IMPORTS, The total imports of foreign merchandise at the port of New York for the past week and since the beginning of the year compare :— Dry goods. $2,050,808 g2,10860 ° 9, 198, Gen nereh 8,401,096” 8,595,193 Total for week $7,460,904 $10,793,826 Prev, reported... 139,709,150 163,318,821 Since Jan. 1. ..$147,170,054 $174,112,647 $171,163,440 THE FOREIGN MARKET, Late on Saturday evening, after banking hours, London advices were received to the effect that the Bank of England had lost on balances the further sum of £189,000, To-day another despatch came to hand stating that the additional sum of £28,000 had likewise been withdrawn. These incl- dents, however, did not materially affect the for. elgmmarket, consols being quoted at 93%, Erie at 483¢ 8 451z, the closing price, while the new French foun advanced to 3 percent premium, American securities were dull'and heavy. The issues of 1867 commanded 933% a 933, and the new fives 8844; ten- forties declined 4%, and were held at 88%. No dis- turbance on the English side is reported, and it is reasonable to suppose that the fluctuations marked have simply been obedient to the condition of affairs ‘n England recorded on Saturday. THE MONEY MARKET, Money on call was active in the early hours of ousiness, and lenders succeeded in getting 7 per cent, the rate standing 6 a 7 per cent. Subse- quently, when accounts had been generally made ap, the rate declined in open market to 5 per cent. Prime commercial paper found ready sale wt 7 to 9 per cent discount. The banks still continue to seek empleyment for their surplus, and purchased liberally of good mercantile securities. Foreign exchange re- mained as on Saturday, although some- what weaker, concessions in actual business being made at 4¢ percent. This is only a natural veaction after the recent udvance in exchange, which latter fact, coupled with the advance in gold, made a prompt market for large quantities of domestic produce, and led to the creation of a tresh supply of commercial bills. The amount of ‘egal tenders outstanding to-day was $356,478,000, deing a decrease of $22,000 since last report. The iuternal revenue receipts were $700,000. The Treasury balances at the close of business to-day were :— Durrency. Coin.... Certificates. GOLD STEADY—117% a 118%. The gold room showed none of the symptoms which were anticipated by many when the market tlosed on Saturday. It was then thought that to- fay would reveal either a combination formed to appreciate the value or develop the necessity for its early shipment. Neither of these contingencies, thus far, has presented itself. In fact gold is weaker, and sympathizes with the similar weak- ‘oess that has already been recorded with reference to exchange. ‘This result is perbaps partially due to reports from abroad that the Continental disturbances, so far as they might affect Ame?ican values, have been greatly exaggerated. Encourage- ment was derived from the improvement in our bonds; from the steadiness of ihe London market; from the tone of confidence reported by the latest English despatches; from the assurance that no great inequality existed between the imports and exports of the country; and, finally, from the very well considered probability that at the next weekly meeting of the Board of Directors of the Bank of England the present rate of discount will be re- duced, The fact seems to be generally accepted that the disturbance on the Vienna Bourse has not been of sufMicient importance to ma- terlally affect the money centres of the world. It merely has superindaced a caution and contraction which, in obedience to the law of finance, has extended to the extremes of mone- tary influence. The effort, therefore, of the “bulls” of the market to take advantage of this eventerof any of its suppositious results has so far proved abortive, and we have a gold merket not too severely speculative im its tendencies to suggem™s the poss ty of an immediate crisis. Gold opened at 1131s, but soon dropped to 118a 117%, then to 117%, recovering to and closing at 117% a 117%.

New York Central was sold at 100% a 100%, and Rock Island ranged from 10844 to 108%.

The whole mar- ket, however, was dull and suffered a fractional decline atter the opening sales, from which, with a few exceptions, there was little rally at the close.

The extreme firmneas of freights and the hig! rates of vessels for charter as compared with @ week ago tended to greatly restrict the export movement in grain, and rates for next month being even higher than those now current, buyers for forward delivery were more cautious. Flour was quiet but'steady, lines of extra shipping being heid particularly firm. Wheat was quiet, owing to the continued scarcity of prime samples, the high rates of freight and the indispo- sition of selicrs to grant any concession irom the rates recently current for lots to arrive, On the spot prices were lower. Corn was still heavy, under a moderate inquiry, and comparatively free Teceipts of old, some of which ‘was green and pressed for sale at lower prices. Prime old was held pretty firm, but the steady decline of new brings o!d with tt, Oats were in demand and firmer. Whiskey was also firmer, with a fair inquiry, Pork and lard were dull and prices were decidedly in buyers’ favor, particularly for lard. Freights were very firm, and extreme rates were demanded. Groceries were quiet, but, with the exception of a weak market for raw stigar, prices wero firm. Naval stores were neg- lected, and prices were, to a great extent, nominal. Pe- troleum atiracted but little attention, yet prices were without noticeable change. Corron,—Spot cotton was neglected and nominalywith a downward tendency, at the quotations annexed.

JOSK?H SCHMITT, = + oe SANDWICH ISLANDS ANNEXATION, Departure of a Special Commissioner to Report Upon the Public Feeling in the Islands. (From the Alta California, May 12.) Our special correspondent in Washington, under date of May 4, sends us very important news, which will be of great interest to the Pacific Coast. He informs us in advance of all other news heretofore povianes that Colonel A. B. Steinberger, of Wash- ington, has been sent out by our government to feel the Sandwich Islands pulse on the subject of annexation to the United States. Colonel Stein- berger, the Commissioner appointed for this pur- pose, arrived in this city on the 4th inst., and is how at the Grand Hotel, His purpose in coming to this coast has been kept a profound secret thus far, It is not yet reported when he will leave for the islands. The following is the letter sent us by our corre- spondent:— ‘The question of the annexation of the Sandwich isiand to fie Batted ies % at Serio’ , con- sidered in Washington. A few weel 0 AB rumored in diplomatic circles that a apeolal obi misstoner would bé sent out to feel the Sandwic Island cose and to report on the practicability of the scliéMe, as well as the general disposition of the people most interested in the matter. This rumor had not assumed definite character at that time and was not generally credited. Now it ts known—though the public have not been apprised , of the fact—that the plan has been consummated, Colonel A. B, Steinberger, of this city, who has long enjoyed the confidence of President Grant, has been appointed to perform this mission and has aiready departed for the Pacific coast. It is contemplated to have the matter of annexa- tion looked into and reported upon in a manner somewhat similar to that adopted in the prelimi- nary negotiations in St. Domingo. There are not, however, as many objections made to this policy as were urged it the St. Domiugo scheme, and an effort is not likely to stir up as much opposition, The restrictionists and the enemies of the adminia- tration will undoubtedly raise a howl about it; buat, if the people of the Sandwich Islands are ripe for the movement, and Colonel Steinberger’s report is favorable, we may expect that the President will recommend annexation in his next message. Fuil authority 1s given to the Commissioner to use for this mission any war vessel on the Pacific coast which may be available and suitable for the pas His instructions are not made public, put your correspondent has ascertained that he is authorized to make investigations and phy ob on the results of his work. He is a man of bright, kneen intelligence, and posseéeses a bright eye that sees pyeryeing He is well suited to the work before him, and will no doubt create a favorable impression wherever he goes, His judgment will insgare the production of a report that will be con- sidered reliable and worthy of careful attention, His Selection will give general satisfaction, The popular policy seems to be generally in fa- vor of tiis movement. Concerning the logic of the restrictionists the Washington Chronicle saysi— ‘The public should note the fact that the most un- compromising opponents of the annexation of St. Domingo in the recent assaults upon President Grant ave just now zealous advocates of the pro- posed absorption by the United States of “the little Kingdom of Hawaii.” Can this be explained on any principle of political economy with which the Fathers of the Republic were fam! ?

Fs THe Rev. J.8,-0. ABBorr has expended the lgtest efforts of his historical whitewash brush upon the character of De Soto. Dodd & Mead pub- lish the book, which makes out this crucl, ambi- _ tous, sels and.corfupt Spaniard to be a brilliant: - hero, slightly touched with insanity, Says MR. HamEeron, in his “Intellectual Life,” “A language cannot be thoroughly learned by en adult without five years’ residence m the country where it 1s spoken, and without habits of.cloge ob- servation @ residence of twenty years is insuf™- cient.” This is not encouraging, but it is the truth. Happily a knowledge which falls far short of mestery may be of practical use in the common © affairs of life, and may even afford some initiation into foreign literature, ‘THE FRENCH HISTORIAN, THIERRY, who died last month, published his first work fifty years ago, and, the proofs of his last were brought to.him on his death bed, It was an article in the Revue des Deux » THE HANDWRITING Of the late Chief Justice Chase was very péeculiar. He wrote a singularly small — and almost feminine hand, which, however, he turned off with great rapidity and nervous force, His private letters (which were more numerous than those of almost any other public mam who ‘filled stations so eminent) were models of terse and clear English style, ‘THE LATE SAINT-MARC GIRARDIN was not by any means of the most brilliant school of French jour- nallsts. His style was pedantic, and he could not compete with Prévost-Paradol’s nimble satire, or with Lemoinne’s easy common sense, or, with Weiss’ paradoxical, but lively pen. Wuo WroTe “BETSEY AND I AR® Our,’ is as vexed a question as the authorship of “ Rock Me to Sleep, Mother,” or “Beautiful Snow” was a few yearsago. The latter was claimed with equal positiveness by a lady, Mrs. Akers, and by J. W, Watson, who incorporated it in his collected poems, And now comes avother lady writer, Mrs, N.S. Emerson, and claims the ballad “Betsey and I Are Out,” so widely published by Will M, Carle- ton.as hia in Harper's and in book form, as. her property, written in 1869, and loaned in MS, copies to friends, She charges Mr. Carieton with a “literary piracy” and with printing her poem as his own In a “mutilated and Jeebie form.” And so the battle of the books goes on, and the ballad, | which has no poetic merit, but is marked by a certain rude jorce and simplicity, is multiplied by rival pubiishers, each advertising hia wares as genuine, 2 Kate Frey will gather her occasional papers into a volume under the indefinite title of ‘‘Hap- Hazard.” THOSE INTERMINABLE HOVELS by” Richardson, “Pamela,” “Clarissa Harlowe’’ and, “Sir Charles Grandison,” dre to be reprinted in London'in cheap editions, It is doubtful if the modern world will find time or patience to read them, We should as soon think of reviving ‘Parthenissa” or Sydney’s “‘Afcadia.”” JAPANESE LITERATURE {8 not abundant. Twenty- four books were published in Japan last year, of which nearly all were translations, With one ex- ception they relate to what were, tilllately, foreign subjects. Seven were translations of foreign ele. mentary works on chemistry aud physics, four on geography, two on American history and turee on civillaw. : Sm W. Fareparry, whose works on iron ship- building and the strength of materials are authori- ties, says that ‘df you deuble the length oa ship you weaken her jesf gne-half. And the evil does not stop here, because if the catgo capacity be enlarged in the same proportion, and used, the ship’s strength is diminished four times, What are called ‘clipper ships’ are not safe.” MR. THOROLD ROGERS, Whose books on political economy and “Histery of Agriculture and Prices’ are wellknown, will stand for Parliament in the liberal interest. BOMBAY CONTRIBUTES to the Vienna Exhibition a complete set of all the native newspapers printed in that country—thirty-six in number, & THOSE CHARMING WRITERS, MM. Erckmann and Chatrian, have published another of those tranquil and beautiful stories of real life for which they are famous, under the title of “Les Deux Fréres.’? YACHTING ‘NOTES.

Thayer, A.Y.0., had @ brush from the foot of Court street, Brooklyn, a8 far as Sandy Hook, on Saturday atter- noon last, both doing admirably, and affording much satisfaction to their respective owners, These yachts will have @ merry time in the regatta of the Atlantic Club next moath.

The land embraced in this estate, and located on avenue St. Nicholas, Tenth avenue, 147th, 148th and 149th streets, presents a most magnificent prospect. A plain view can be had of the Harlem and Hudson Rivers and the Long island sound.
