8 FINANCIAL AND COWMERCUL. THE HOLIDAYS: AFTER A Stronger Tone Stock Market. "The Beginning of a Specu- lation. Events of the Day on *>Change. WALL STREET, Monpay, July OPM} On 'Change to-day cotton was quiet and steady, Flour was dull and unchanged, wheat was active, but lower, while corn and oats were only in mod- erate demand and steady. THE FOREIGN MARKET, | London advices report considerable activity in eonsols and American securities, with an improve- ment at the close of the market of \ @ % per cent. Ceonsols for money were quoted at 925 a 92%, con- sols for account at 9275 a 98; five-twenty bonds of 1865 at 933,, do. of 1807 at 93%, ten-forty bonds at 8034, new fives at 904 and Erle at 49%—e loss of % percent irom the morning, The new French joan is at a premium of 6% a 6% per cent. In Paris rentes closed easier at 56f. 40c. The amount of bul- lion that went into the Bank of England to-day on the balance was £51,000. GOLD 115% a 115%. ‘The bears entered the market to-day confident in the belief that gold would recede to 114% a 114%, as the result of the home and foreign condition. The opening prices, however, quickly dispelled the illu- sion and held in check all efforts to the contrary. Dulness was the ruling feature of the room, the , transactions being scarcely sufficient to give the market atone. The operators on both sides seem to have declared a truce for the nonce, and the only skirmishing done was between the picket lines of the respective factions. The fluctuations of the market are shown by the following table:. iby a The transactions of the Gold Exchange Bank to- Gay were as follows :— Gold balances Currency bala Gross clearances. ... seeseeee ‘The rates paid for carrying to-day were 3, 334, 4, 43s, 5 and 6 per cent. THE MONEY MARKET requires no comment. Money was easy at from 4to5 per cent, with an abundance offering at the lower price. Foreign exchange was done at 100{ ® 109 3-16, and at the close prime bilis called for 10914. The tendency being upward, sight bills were quict at 110 a 1103;. THE SUB-TREASURY. It is reported trom Washington that Secretary Richardson thinks the Syndicate will make no fur- ther subscription to the funding loan until Con- gress meets. The Syndicate have the exclusive rigut, until December next, of taking all of the 5 | ‘per cent bonds authorized by law. The Treasury balances at the close of business to- aay were :— currency ++ $8,900,000 Coin. + 18,850,000 Certi + 41,500,000 Internal revenue receipts. 870,000 ‘The decrease in coin was caused by payments on account of July interest. The Assistant Treasurer paid out to-day $552,000 On account of interest, and $8,400 in redemption of five-twenty bonds. The customs receipts to-day were $470,000, GOVERNMENT BONDS. The demand for these was jarger than the offer- ings ; hence the prices were firm and the business as indicated by the sollowing table of quotations good.

Monpay, July 7—6 P. M. Trade was slow and in numerous instances irreg- ular, The chie! feature was the depression in the breadstuils market, the heavy accumulation of | wheat since Thursday last rendering holders anxious to realize, even at @ decline of se, to 6c, per bushel. At the reduced | rate there was some demand for export and @ pretty jair business was consummated at | the prices recorded below. Corn remained steady, | there being no pressure to sell, and there was no noticeable chauge in prices, Oats were also steady. Whiskey was a trifle off under heavy receipts. | ‘There was some buoyancy in the provisions trade, | though the demand was moderate, siderably higher. Lard was firm, Freiguts were firm and room gearce. Groceries were generally quiet, but there were no noticeable change in prices. Petro Jeum remained qniet, with prices ruling steady.

Clark and his sureties, who were present, denied that he had ailowed the centents of the night-soii boat to run out at the bottom or that be had failed to do hs work in ai particuiar. Attention was called to the fact that the street cleaning contractors mixed up the ashes with garbage and dumped themin vacant lots, thereby Dr. Autchin- son desired that the garbage be removed daily ly special convract.

Brooklyn’s Baton Boys—A Day’s Picnic Pleasures in Store for the Poor Police- men. ‘Thanks to the suggestion of that public-spirited citizen of Kings county, Mr. P. H. Reid, proprietor of the East New York and Canarsie Railway and Rockaway Beach Steamboat line, rare enjoy- ment is in store for the knights of the baton resi- dent in Brooklyn. It is proposed to treat the “boys in blue” who protect the lives and property of the people to a trip to the seaside, a bath in the surfand a collation, These are pleasures which the peculiar nature of their duties debar them from, while men in all other vocations of life can induige themselves for one hot day at least each Summer, The gentleman named above, who instigated the pros- pective police ‘pleasures, will convey the guar- dians of the peace and public morals, those of the “om platoon,” over his railroad and steamboat line, {ree of cost, at an early day (not yet named by the Board of Commissioners) next week. One- hali the jorce will make the excursion at a time. Already the minds of the solitary sentinels of the street are depicting bright pictures of the coming day when, free from the restraint of the rules and regulations of the Department, they may gambol in the surf and turn somersets on the sandy beach without leaving themselves liable to criticism or punishment. It’s a pleasant anticipa- tion, the more so because of the fact that they are invited to participate therein, and itis to ve hoped that the worthy citizens who sympathize with the policemen on their beat will contribute their share towards defraying the cost of the “cops’ collation.” Subscriptions toward this end will be received at the local newspaper Offices. The Board of Police Commissioners will see to it thata suflicient reserve force will be kept in easy signal- ling distance to preserve order and protect “the boys” fro assault during their stay op Rockaway FIStI. Rebellious Uprising of the White Settlere Against the Govermment of His Majesty King Cakoban, Throne Taxation and Resistance of the Paying Toilers—Serious Condition of Affairs and © Effort for the Support of Law and Or der—170 Mountaineers Killed— British Naval Mediation. ‘The Melbourne Herald ef the latest date reports as follows :— The long impending crisis in the affairs of ‘th Kingdow of att has re last occurred. For anverat months betore the month of April and bet | soma time since, @ large number of the white set ry those islands nave been intensely dissatistied with King Cakobau’s government, and this disaffection recently euliminated in an armed uprising of set- tlers, which, had it not been for the intervention of a Bntish man-of-war, woula undoubtedly hava been foliowed by much bloodshed and general dis« aster. There is at present a lull in the storm, but. there 1s no knowing how long the calm may last, From a letter dated March 27, from our 8} correspondent at Levuka, Fiji, it srpears that tl white settlers of ba, Ndronga and Nandi, three the most important districts in vhe island of Viti Levu, rose up in arms against the constituted au- thorities. ie m0 spirits im this ta arms were Colonel White, former! ‘of vole unteers in New Zealand, and Mr. Courcy . jand, # planter on the Ba, When the governmen| ‘was first formed Mr. Ireland represented nis dis-- trictin the Fijian Parliament; but his consti! Rhine thy ods pon Sao rosea wot they called upon resign, Ww! Ch cheerfully did, as their views en! coln- with own, From that time he: been a determined cppiiens, of the government. The complaint of the disaffected: pais, against Sie ROE FAMED EAE that it is utter! competent to adord them any proteetion; tna\ it ia bardening the residents with oppressive taxa< tion, saddling the country with an enormou: 4 which will shut out allhope of annexation; that it has accompiished no good, whatever, beyond ti ing employment for a namber of ut people; that some of its members are men objectionable character, and that others are run+ ning counter to their election promises. A great deal of dissatisfaction was caused in tl B neighboruood some months Ae. by a visit from Dr. Clarkso. the inanca Minister, who, bei desirous of protecting tha mountaineers from the repeated outrages they were reported to be suffering (rom at the hands of the planters and their joreiga laborers, explained to the latter, illustrating his remarks by adjustin; a halter to the neck of one of them, that if the; shot any more Kat tholos they would be panne by the officers of the government. ‘The Ba setiers now assert that the murder of Mr, Burns and hig family is due to the action of the government, Mr. Burns’ plantation was subject to frequent visits from the mountaineers, and it was known that his life had been several times threatened—whethe: for leat} mountaineers or not is left an opel question. It is a fact, however, that he armed foreign laborers, and that after the visit of Dr. Clarkson these men were afraid to use their arms- MILITARY PARLEY WITH THE ANGRY SETTLERS— MANY MOUNTAINBERS DESTROYED. The Ba settlers were in a very irritated state of mind. They had assembied under arms to execute justice themseives; they had no contidence what- ever in the power of the government to punish tha murderers, and when they saw this native forca despatched by the government with only four white men accompanying it, they determined that it should not land. ajor Fitzgerald directed the settlers te lay down their arins, telling them that if they shot mountameers imdependently they would be guilty of murder, and tuat no expedition could be permitted to attack the mountaineera that was not under the command oi an officer appointed vy the government. opposed to him from thirty to thirty-five white men, armed with breach-loading rifles and’ @ considerabie body of foreign laborers, also wellarmed. This formidable force ordered Major Fitzgerald to withdraw, threatening to fire Wood him if he remained. The objection the settlers raised to his presence was that they had no confi- dence in his Fijian warriors, that attack he could make would be sure to fi and that Jailure would be followed by the imme diate destruction of all the planters, ~ fox the mountaineers, knowing they had beaten the government, would then come down in irresistible numbers. The Warden of Tavua was appealed to, and upon his advice Major Fitzgerald retired to avotd the effusion ef blood. While waiting orders, at a distance of some tweuty miles, Major t= ald was joined by Mr. Swanson, the Minister ior Native Affairs, with Captain Harding, the head of the police, froin iorty to fifty Fijian troops, four of five white men and an Armstrong gun, After an attack upon the mountaincers of Na Koro-wai-wai, in which 170 mountaineers were destroyed, the natives bebaving with great sav- ‘'y, ube government troops were marched back to Ba. ‘The white settlers, to the number of about forty, with their Tanna laborers, armed, assembled it | the town of Sanguna. Captain Harding was in- structed to land with the government ierce. He entered the town in the night time, and threw up aredoubt. The position at this time was avery critical one, The plagters were very much ex- cited. Some of them raised their rifles to the shoulder, and the accidental discharge of a gun would have been su:ticient to cause an immediate onslaught. But more moderate counsels ne vailed, and @ parley was determined on. ire Swanston produced a copy of a letter written by. Captain Chapman, of Her Majesty’s ship Dido, thea lying at Levuka, calling upon the settlers to re~ spect the authority of the Fijian government, when! letter the settlers, however, had not re- ceived, A sort of armistice was agreed upon, pending the result of a communication desvatched by the’ settlers to Captain Uhapman, asking him to visit the Ba River. This request was complied with by Captain Chapman, and on the arrival of the Dida at the Ba she was boarded by the settlers, who deputed Mr. Ireland to read a statement of their grievances. Their reception by the naval repre- sentative of Great Britain was rather discouraging to them, Captam Chapman characterized tue pro= ceedings of Colonel White and Mr. Lreland as trea- sonable and seditious, and, as has been remarked, talked to the maicontents generally ike a “Dutca uncle,” He told them that they had. treated his letter with contempt; that they Were all traitors, revels and couspirators; that they had been sleep- ing for the last three months with their heads in haiters, and that ii they had attempted to shoot any natives they would have been taken, ifnot by ped his successor, to Sydney and tried for murder, BRITISH NAVAL ARBITRATION. The British Captain then drew up a document addressed to the settlers, from which the following is extracted :— 1 now consider it my duty, as senior naval officer of Hi Majesty's vessels employed in these you to at once lay down youi and peaceably to the laws of the country in which you have chosen to take up your residtnce ; ‘and to engage hereon in my presence, and im the presence of other persons whom I may appoint, to hever again arm yourseives or laborers azainst ‘th g's ollicers, and to act for the future in a constitutional iner, and to seck to obtain redress for your griev- ces in the manner in which you would in case you ere living on British On your complying with these conditions, I will use my best endeavors ta the government ‘to take no cognizance ot any act mitted by you before the date of this letter. Captain Chapman also required that Colonel white and Mr. Ireland should be ple to be removed in the Dido jor a fortnight or 80, but as- sured the SS that no harm would be done to either of those gentlemen, and that they would be returned. The terms dictated by Captain Chap- man were be ag fr by the settlers, and Mr. Ireland and Colonel Waite were removed in the Dido to Levuka, The government are now draiting an amnesty to be sent to the King, which wiil include Mr, Ireland, but it is not certain that Colonel White will be as leniently dealt with, as tnere are con- sidered to be exceptional circumstances in his ei The Fijian government assert that the real ob- Ject oj the opposition 1s to evade payment of taxea ‘and other liabilities incurred by the pianters, TELEGRAPHY AT THE ANTIPODES.
