CHASED AND A HANDSOME EDIFICE ERECTED. Judging from present indications and, indulging @ hope that Congress at its next session will pass a law which was pending in the House last win- ter, it is fair to expect that before long the Cham- ber of Commerce will have a suttable building. Since the purchase of the present Custom House by the government the Chamber has been cramped into very narrow confines, owing to the fact that am available site could not be obtained for building purposes, It is now proposed to pur- chase [rom the government the site of the old Post OMice and erect thereon an elegant building for the accommodation of tne merchants of New York, that element of the community which provides so great an ~ amount of fhe government’s revenue. Every other city of any commercial importance has a merchants’ exchange, where, throughout the day, the com- mercial men meet and barter. The want of such an institution in New York has long been felt @nd is now to be provided for. There are other reasons than the one that the old Post Office site isaconvenient one which have influenced tne Chamber o! Commerce in selecting it. It may be remembered that in 1860—when Mr, Buchanan’s Postmaster General, Aaron V. Brown, was in * charge of the New York office—the lease given to the general government -by the trustees of the old Dutch church edifice and the ground was put up at auction. Previous to this it nad been of. fered to the government, and Congress had made an appropriaiion of $200,000 jor the pur- chase of that or some other site. No other site could be found, and the church trustees would not sell the property for ess than @ quarter of a million. Mr. Brown, see- himself 1n a helplessly awk ward position, went to the Chamber of Commerce and explained mat- ters. He told the members of the Cnamber. that if the Post Office site was not purchased) tmme- @ ols the chance Would be lost, as tne trustees would not bold the offer open long enough to. the incoming Congress vote an additional $50,000, The Chamber promised to consider the matter, and Mr. Brown went away in tne hope that the Obamber would assist him. As the result proved, he was justified im the hope, for in a lew days the members of the Chamber voted the additional $50,000 and the site was purchased. From the time of the purchase until now the place has beea used by the government as a general cl'y post omce. On the lst oi September next Postmaster James says he 18 going to desert the old courch for his handsome quarters 10 the new ballding, and, as the Chamoer of Commerce is anxious to gee the property as s00n as possibie, eforts will made eurly in the winter to huve the bill assed, ordering the general government to seil ‘hem the premises. In the bill which Congress is asked to passed 1 1s sought to have the govern- ment sell the property to the Chamber for the Same amount Of money as was paid ior it im 1860, minus the $50,000 subscribed toward ‘he purchase vy Chamber, mow remains a3 a jien on the property, itis eee: should the bill pass, to erect an elegant and commodio' baliding, the first foor of Which Wili be used as @ merchants’ ex: Up stairs a large hail will be reserved as a meet- ing room, each firm being provided with a desk— the desks 10 be arranged alter the mauver of those in the House of Representatives, Tuere will be a large library, and the recently created Court of the Arbitration will ke proviced with commodious apartments.

WALL STREET, } THURSDAY, July 29—6 P, M. No fyesh points of interest were developed to- day in connection with the recent failures, and whatever excitement was aroused by them has subsided. The principal subject of attention was Western Union, about which for some time there have been rumors of a provable advance. The transactions in the stock were very large, and toward the end attended with not a little excite- ment on the part of both those seeking to cover their short interest ana a still larger following who desire to avail themselves of the promised profits. Tne openthg price was 81, from which it commenced to improve until it reached 8434. Aoout five minutes before three P. M. it reacted to and closed at 83%. Itis rather an unusual in- cident of Wall street speculation im these later years for a stock to decline ten or eieven per cent and recover from the loss as Western Union has done within the last three days. It is indicative, however, not only of confidence in the secarity but or A GROWING FAITE in all good dividend paying stocks.

British India is pot & colony, but & conquest, which ip our days has gained immensely in solidity ana tm military force, both offensive and defensive. Se eral circumstances have contributed to strength 1ts present power. First, the victory over the great insurrection which, so to speak, rendered the Eng- lish for the first time the absolute masters of taay vast country; then the cn e of ite government,’ which, since that iosarrection, has pbecm placea under the direction of the moth country, and, lastly, the opening of the Suez ‘Canal.’ The native troops are no longer to be seared, The Sepoys have received & severe lesson; they have submitied, and will move no more, and India will in future be gov- erned by a great ov erament nd by the policy of statesmen instedd o he counter and the measure Of merchants, Carthage in ancient Venice in modern times, have suc- land betore land forces. In our owm days the Russians have taken possession of Khiva, and they approach the roads which lead to Ladia. Novertheless, we do not believe that they dreanr Of tearing that splendid dominion from the sceptre of England. Such @ military drama, tf it 18 to take place in the mext century, will bave for its theatre at once Constantinople, Caboul, Persia and very provably at the same time Kurope, the Baltic and Poland. Portsmouth and Bomba; those two great military arsenals, are now, Drougut nearer togetier BY THE SURZ CANAL, while the island of Maita, by its extreme strategic import: renders Engiaud mistress of the Mediterranean, and, In case of need, will mak oi Egyptan Euglish suzerainty. ihe Suez Ca accessible ni 1s destined to change the general equilibrium ile tween Turkey, Russia and Austria, eyen as the aubmarine tunnel between Dover and Calais will produce great mutations in the nature of the fu- ture relations between Engl d, France and Prussia. The three great orthern Powers have very wisely agreed to matntain status quo, political and territorial, in the, | Ottoman Empire, So long as that Kmpire doés’ ot destroy itself the three Empefors will agree to practise in respect fo it, for own inte; este, § poles, @f patient con: 7 rmeiple hé rights of nations and of the Koropean equilibrium alike coinsel tis. In Eng- land public opinion inclines more and more to tae conclusion that Mussuiman Turkey will perish from its internal maladministration, and from ti incapability of the leaders of the Mussulman wor! to develop the great natural resources of those fine and iertile countries, And as Knglana is the first creditor of the Suitan’s ‘Ireasury it may be that in some future time the Porte will find itself in @ painful conflicy with capitalists of the city. However that may be, Turkey remains THE @ Violent and to selve it, The creative spirits works while the destructive spirit destroys, One form will ve substituted for another; the trausition may be great, butit will be accomplished. The division o1 Turkey among the Great ‘Powers, as was formerly the case of Poland, is a chimera, Toe dream of Ostherine Ul. and of Joseph IL has ne chance of accompilsument in these days. Forthe Kuropean -Turkey of to-day there could only be substituted a Caristian neutral § England, France id Prussia the kingdom of Belgium. Any would be untenave. But ever last muon longer than erations may yet pi a proviem is laid before the of Europe, Just now public pea a im the extreme east of Asia. Lb short time war will probably break out betw: the Anglo-lndian government and Burmah, The perfidious conduct of the King of Burmah ig now fully proved, This despot, as biind as be is ovstl- nate, dreads to have bis commercial monopoly as- sailed, and ts agsibas any arrangewent of a com mercial character across bis States between Eng- land and Obina, by the borders of Yantse-Kiang before suc @nd the great commercial towns situated by this riv Having won over the Governor of tacked tu rd of Mome' Cary a¢vanced Colonel Brown’s expedition and assassinated the engineer, Margary, and the whole expedition would have perished but for its timely retreat. The Pekin government, for its part, according to its mode Of procedure, now pretends that this international crime was the work only of tu frontier authorities; while the King of Burman is against the English governments passing through bis territories to obtain satisfaction from his neighbors, the Chinese. At Downing street there is no desire to increase the immense Indian verri- presemt state of thin ‘um gre: of Vanishing irom the map of independent states. Her independence is aone for the moment she opposes the grand rea of civilization toward the Chinese province of You: nan. Pegou, which formerly was part of the Bui man Empire, was tn 1852 incorporated into tn Englisn possessions, 1t is now the turn of Burma to be swallowed np.
