At the Stock Exchange there was a very general Tise this weck of a steady character, and it was not confined to British securities, The reasons are various, and in some quarters it seems to be a mat- ter of surprise that stocks should not go down in- stead of up betause of the unsatisfactory situation in France, the tension of her relations with Ger- many and Italy and the utter uncertainty regard- ing events which may grow out of the Russo- Turkish war. But a strong party in France are supporting the Bourse for political reasons and are assisted by speculators for a rise. The ultimate success of Russia is regarded as certain and supports Russian bonds, and the reduction of the discount rate of the Bank of France is direct- ing money to investment in government stocks, An occasional relapse occurs in Paris when Prince Bismarck does anything, and on Tuesday there was @ very sudden but temporary fail when it was known thut the Chancellor had come ont of his re- trement in order to confer with the Emperor. Investments in the London market have been Made with some freedom this week, which may be the result of subsidence of the demand for money usual at the beginning of May in addition to the rise resulting from bear purchases and various market manipulations. There is a very general improvement in investment stocks. Ameri- can governments, under the influence of the general inquiry for investment stocks, have risen a little. ‘The edvancing tendency in railway ponds has been checked. The demand for short loans has been good at about 24 percent. Discounts have been quiet. | Business on the Stock Exchange to-day was firm in all departments, but there was very little doing.

New York, May 26, 1877, To tur Eovton oy rae Herarp:— In your summary of Mr. Beecher’s Friday night’s talk, published in to-day’s paper, you report him as sayiog:—*It was English gold that was poured out like water in the wars of the Peulnsula as against the struggles of the people for liberty.’” 11 Mr. Beecher be correctly reported ho Las certainly read history to very little purpose, the tacts of the case being ex- actly the reverse of what he states, Tt is true Nuglish gold and blood were poured out like water during that war, but 1t was to hoip the people to regain their liverty and restore to them the might of governing ther cohutry im their own way. Any one passably well read in the wars of the First Napoleon knows sthat the French invaded the Peninsula im 1807. they ‘overran the country, upset the established govern- ment, and in 1808 proclaimed Joseph, brother of Napoleon, King ot Spain, When the Kuglish expedi- tion landed thay same year they were received by the native population as hberators; and such they proved to be, for they drove the invader out, and, that accomplished, quietly evacuated the place, HAHN, THE FORGER. _— A MAN WHO RAISYD THE WIND IN A SEILFUL WAY AND IS NOW IN-THR HANDS OF THE POLICE.

A short time ago Oflicer Weinberg, of the Fourteenth precinct, while going tbroagh the Bowery, noticed a man named henry Haba, alias § forger, leaving @ pawnbroker’s shop, This aroused his suspicions, and on some protext be suc. | ceeded in discovering that the articles pledged sorresponded to sume whieh the bustuess men bad complained He kept @ sharp lookout for Huby and camo aeruss him oue day and shadowed lim to his residence at No. 9 Heury street. Yesterday, while diseagaged, the officer visited the house, Was told that no such person lived there, but was finally shown « room, in which Hahn was found iv bed, A search of the room aud the prisoner's waliet revealed that he bad ou him « pumber of curds of the fi vd, ether with various other doc her, Whitman & ol Noa 444and 446 Broadway, Jonn Boylan, of t; Bassavand & C of Nox 222 4 Chambers street; Stoevers & Co., of No. 268 Grand street, and I’, Wolt & Co, of No, 437 Broad. way. in a satchel containing pumerous forged papers was u very cleverly executed petition to Governor Lucius Kobinson, at of a Swedish sailor named Stenssen, who was impris. oned for life. To this was attached u pertect imitation of the signatures of various prominent New York politiciaos, When Haba was taken to the Fourteenth precinct station house a number of tirms who had been victimized were nutified of his arrest, and most of them identified him as the person who had swindiad them.
