FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. —_—____ Want Stavet, Wepnuepay, May 30—6 P. i} ‘The Stock Exchange ‘sported tho oak” to-day, ifthe @losed tron shutters and doors can be held to have What significance, and the whole herd of bulls and bears hied them to the enjoyment ofa holiday, Their British brethren were doing the same thing by tooling down to Epsom to find the French and American fu- Vorites fail even to get placed, and to see a dark horse win the blue ribbon of the Derby. So, with the Broad Bireet people “decorating,” and the Capel court peo- ple “laying the odds," dealings in stocks came pretty Much to a standstill on both sides tho water, and quo- tations iu either market were without form aud void. Touching this matter of visiting graves and thereon planting sprigs of acacia, and treating the subject from 8 moral point of view, find no reasons for brokers to Jeavo their own portals in order to carry out the duties oftheday, The Stock Exchange is a very charnuel house of dead hopes, which no amount of decorative Tosemary and rue will soften the memory of, or miti- e the pang of their departure. . Something at least might have been cexpected from the “bow window”? party—some strewing of flowers upon tho graves of stocks which havo departed this life since last Decoration Day, and which in dying left fat legucies—the result of short sales—to the very parties which bad persecuted them while living. There was no demonstration of this sort, however, and the Stock Exchunge remained closed and ebandoned, morally and physically, for the day. The only item of financial interest since yesterday is to be lound tn the report of the Pacific Mall Company, which exbibite in a clear and business like manner its pres- ent condition and its reasonable hope of a future rosto- ation to prosperity, As an ournest of this it shows that tho liabilities have been reduced $1,000,000 dur- ing tho last eleven months, and an increaso of $200,000 in cash ts during the same time. IMPORTS AND EXPORTS, ‘The official statement +: the imports and exports ot the United States as published in to-day’s Hera is Worthy of attention in several particulars, ‘'ho total merchandise exports for the mouth of April, 1877, wero $44,400,248, or $7,068,138 below the average ox- ports of the lust ten months, For the corresponding month of 1876 the exports were $38,919,877, or $6,283,463 below the average of tho ten months pre- ceding. The imports for April show an increase of $6,904,215 over the average of the Jast ton months, while there wasa decrease last year for April over the jen months of $2,750,458, Again tho excess of the jotal exports of merchandise and specie, wmch for April, 1876, was $7,461,285, is for the past month only 83,054,170, CITY BANKS, The following olty banks have reducod their capital within a year:— Former Present Capital, Capital, Commerce. $10,000,000 $5,000,000 Phenix. 1,800,000 1,000,000 Republic, 2,000,000 1,500,000 Metropolitan 4,000,090. 8,000,000, tate... 1,000, 000 800,000 2,000, 000 + 260,000 5,060,000 8,750,000 ei 1,000,600 500,000 jutchers and Drovers? 800,000 500,000. eventh Ward...... 500,000 300,000 Manatacturers' 600, 000 100,000 Totals ssses.e«829,700,000 $17,700,000 Total loss of concentrated banking capital. .$12;000,000 Yn addition to this the following banks have reauced dheir surplus: Becond.... $800,000 Now Yor« County. 200,000 Ereenwich making altogether a loss of $12,700,000. a NEW YORK CATTLE MARKETS.

THE PETER THE GREAT—THE THUNDERER OF THE IMPEBIAL RUSSIAN NAV¥—4 FLOATING CITADEL, So much has been said for and against the Peter the Great, one of the two suips of the Russian Navy which belong to that class of seagoing monsters known as the fighting ships of the future, that the tollowing description of this immense vessel, des- tined possibly to play an important part in the naval operatiousof the present European war, will be found especiaily interesting. ‘Tho most formidable vessol in the Imperial Russian Navy isthe Petor the Great, a colossal iron-clad, de- signed after the Devastation type, but since modified 80 as to more closely resemble the more recent Dread- Baught, The Peter the Great, like the circular irou- clads which bear his name, was bailt atter the designs of Vice Admiral Popoff, and was finished in 1875, Her sides, breastwork walls and turrets ure very heavily armored, and she carries four twelve inch 4l-ton breechlonding steel rifled Obouk- hof guns She is calculated to steam at the rato of fourteen knots per bour, and her trial trips in the Gulf of Finland havo in gen- eral been success/ul, though on her first trip several defects wore found, which have since been remedied, Her total length over the armored deck is 330 teet, and between perpendiculars 321 feet 10 inches, Her ox- treme breadth 1s 63 toet 3 inches, and without armor and armor backing, 5 fe She draws 22 fect 9 inches of water forward and 24 feot 9 inches alt, and has the immense total displacement of 9,665 tons, With the exception of the stom and stern posts, which aro of gun metal, the entire hull is of iron. The ship has a double bottom, the spaco between the skins being divided toto watertight colls, so that au injury to any part by means of a torpedo or otherwise would only result in tho Gilling of one, or possibly two or more of thom, and thorefore allow of a complete locall- zation of the injury. Above tho second skin the hull is further divided for the same purpose into compartments by nine water- tight bulkheads runuing trausversely across the ship. In addition to these there are two bulk- heads which traverse tho hull longitudinally, being situated symmotrically ono on each side of tho keel, ‘These inclose tho amidships space, in which are situ- ated the coal bunkers, having a fuol capacity of from twolve to fifteen days, The outside skin is worked io two thicknesses of one inch each, The ship's bottom is shoathed with wood and copper, THE ARMOR. Tho armor belting, which is carried entirely around the ship, extends, except where it rises to form tho breastwork, 3 feet above and 5 feet below the load water Ine, It is bolted on in two belts formed of solid plates, the upper belt being 14 inches in thick- noss amidships and tapering off at the ends to 9 inches, and the lower one 12 inches in thickness amidships, running down to 8 inches at stem and stern, This armor is only intended to protect the vital part of the hull Hollow girders form the armor backing, the spaces in and between being as usual tilled with teak. These girders it 18 claimed are capable of producing an addi- tional resistance equal to that of two inches of solid fron, For the upper belt the armor backing is 10 inches in thickness, and behind the lower it is 12 inches thick, Unlike the Dreadnaught, this vessel has noramming spur. The armored belt for a length of 160 fect amidships rises tou height of 10 fect 3 inches above the load water live, forming the sides of tho breastwork which oncloses tho gua turrets, The end wails of this breastwork are semicircular in form, and have the sume armor plating as the side walls, but worked on in two thicknesses, in order to more thor. oughly protect the turret bases and machinery. The armor covering of the deck of tho ship outside of the breastwork and that over the breastwork 18 formed of double stcol plat 14 and three-quarter inches in thickness, THE GUNS AND TURRETS, Inside of the citadel, at each end, are placed the revolving gun turrets, the beight tho batlery being 13 feet above the load water line. e turrets are pro- tected by armor plating having the satno thickness and backing as that of the breastwork walls outside, Their outside diameter is 32 feet 6 inches, and they, as be- fore stated, each enclose two 12-inch 4l-ton guns. fhe turret ports being vory small tho gun carriages aro arranged £0 as to ullow of the heavy guns being raised and lowered within the limite of 18 Inches into thrae with respect to their carria; Thi is effected by hydraulic power—two force pumps bei used, @ steain and a hand one, Th Laat of the: pumps is outside of the turrets, t ly pipe pass- ing into the interior, When the ghos are f action the steam Beicop 1s kept conrtantly at work. On shutung the regulating valve underneatu the gun the pressure inside of the supply pipe increases up to a certain point, when the engine is stopped by tho resistance of be cotopressed water in the pipe. On opening the valve the acoumalated pressure 1s brought to bear, aud the resistance being diminished the steam pump starts off again, Thus a continuous bydraaiic pres- sure 18 maintained, The gins are also run in and out by hydraulic machinery. The turre! revolved by two turret cnginos, the starting gear of which are placed ingide of the turrets, 60 us to be at the hand of the captain of the guna, Inside of the breaatwork and between the turrets rises the funne! and the two derrick masts, having a hurricane deck between them. Vuteide of the breastwork, forward and forming a continuation of it, a li:ht forecastle superstructure is built over the armored dock, Att there is a hurricano bridge running on a level with the top of tho breast- work, THE PROPELLING POWER, The ship's engines, by Baird, of St, Petersburg, are of 1,400 nominal horse power, working up to 10,000 indicated, and give rise to two large independent loose- Dluded screws, “ Thowo are cach 18 feet 6 inches in di- ameter and have pitches varying from 19 to 24 feet, There are on bourd two steam Windlasses and two steam crab winches, THN PUMPING MACHINERY, In a war vessel of this class the pumping arrange. ments especially important, and those of the Peter the Great morit a detailod description. Running the whole length of the ship, between outer and inner bottoms, and lying next to the keel, is 4 main pipe, having an inside diameter of 12 inches at the centre and tapering off to 8 inches atthe two ends, The several pieces of which this pipe is com- posed are so arranged that they can be taken out soparately in case repairs are needed, The pipe, at each ceil it passes through between the two bottoms, has a mud holo, with a hermetically closed cover. In each cell the tank, the under side of which com- municates with pipe. Tn the id just under the watertight bulkheads which divi the tanks the bull above communicate with the coinpartments above the double bottom. The openings, through which the Water passes into the main jrom the tanks are provided with automatic vaives which close when their compartment becomes filed with water; thus, in case ol tbo filing of one by means of aram or torpedo, isolating it entirely from the others, In addition to these valves t re olb- ers, worked by levers, and suitable for the same pur. pose. The branch pipes, for passage of the wal trom the other side of tho ship to the main pipe, through openings in the keei, and are each provided with # valve worked from the deck above, The water which under any suppostitious cuse has accumulated in tue main pipe 18 pumped out by means of steam pumps. There are niue special steam pumps, with a totul capacity of 6,269 gallons per minute, in addi- tion to these there are eight steam pumps attached to | the main engines, which have a total cupacity per minute of 11,924 galions, and eight small haud paimps, having a total capacity of 438 gallons per minute, is gives us the total quantity of water | which can be pumped out of the main pipe per minute the immense volume of 18.681 gallons, The pumps | Attached to the main engines are intenued solely for the drying of the three compartments occupied vy the engine and botler rooms, and Which communicate | with each other by a pipe having wn inside dia Of 12 inches, and Whicn ts 60 feet in jength, This is | placed inside of the ouble bottom, and provided like Lie main pipe With special valves. The smalior pumps above spoken of, which consist 01 bilge, and the like, communicate with the se; compariments by a special system of snail pipes. One Of the excoilences of the disposition above described 18 that in case of tire any of tho compartments van be ine Stantly filed, by way of the main pipe, by either water or steam. Two auxiliary boilers are placed inside of the breast- work on the deck to work tho two large centrifugal Pumps, Which each have acupacity of 1,626 galions per | minute, eiher of the borers being able to give the Qucessary pressure within a few minutes of the light ing of the fir THR PATER THE GREAT AND THE DREADNAUGHT.

AMERICA AND RUSSIA, 4 WELSHMAN'S OPINION. To tae Epiror ov Ti ABRALDi— In the perusal of your valuable paper and that of others of similar proclivities I observe a growing ten” dency to try to kindie a spirit of unfriendliness toward the British governmont. A single individual of British birth can scarcely utter a word in reference to this country without \ts being misconstrued and magnified and afterward cherished as ope moro biack mark against the Engiish government, The majority of Americans seem to me like ag over-sensitive school girl, ready to tuke umbrage at a moment’s notice, and ever willing to apply everything that is said to hersell, Supposing that Englishmen and others of British birth, who have adopted this country as their home, were to notice everything that {s said slightingly of the British. government by Americans, the result would be that we would seck homes iu another chme. But fortunately the British mind is tolerably well balanced, and a smilo (oftever than a tear) is evoked by the braggadocia which wo have loug learned is one of the attributes of a Yankee, Bat my object for writing this leer is for the perpose of criticising one written a “Justitia” in reply to one written b; ngtishinan.’’ “Justitia’ accuses the British government, aiong with other uppardovadie sing, of aiding the South during the late civil war, “thereby endeavoring to crash the Union’? He places England on alevel with Russia for barbarism, and both countries, in that respect, on a level with ‘any other country with a monarchical form of govern- ment.” He also says ‘that nine outot every ten of the English resivents and emigrants in this country show an aversion to our government,” also “that nine out of every ten repudiate the idea of becoming citi- zeus.’ The climax is not yet reached, “Justitia? bas evidently been rowing American history very re- cently, and feels kecnly for bis forefathers, ulthough to me It is rather vague who his foreiathers were; but in order to give the reader a chance to guess I will’ give his grievance in his own words:—‘The inex. pressibio punishment and torture intlicted upon our forefathers by the British, &c.”? Verily “Justitia”? goes a long Way back to hunt up grievances against the barbarous Koglinb, whose crue! bands toflicted such ipexpressiole punishment and torture on the mnie, civilized wud tamb-ike Yankee. ‘The other Charges that ‘Justitia’ makes are all well known to be faise and a libel on a people whose brain, muscle id money have coutributed so much to the success and development of this great country. ‘Justitia,’ although thy missiles aro ag harmless a8 the paper bullets {rom a boy’s pop gun, it were better for thee Yo turn thy attention to something more protitable than to try to vility and belittle a people and a nation, greater than which in all that is noble, is not to be found, Now, Mr. Editor, [ will not transgross further on your time and space, aud wiil deem it a favor to have this given publicity, A WELSHMAN, “ENGLISHMAN” IN ANSWER TO ‘‘JUSTITIA.” To tae Evitor or tak HenaLp:— Willyou allow me alittle space in reply to “‘Justitia’s” communication publighod in your edition of yesterday (May 23)? Your correspondent finds fault with me in the first place becauso I call the war between Russia ana Turkey “an infamous war,’? I consider any war infamous Whish is declared under false pretences, Rassia makes war ou Turkey on account of her treat- ment of her Christian subjects in the principalities. Is Russia tho only Christian power in Europe? Austria, Prussia, Italy, France and England all profess Chris- tianity. Ifthe treatment of her Christian subjects by Turkey bea casus belli, how ts it that these Powers have not drawa the swor ‘The simple fact ts, this pretence on the part of Russia is meau, false and hy po- critical In the extreme, Sinco the days of Catherine Russia bas set her covetous eyes on Constantinople and ag much of Turkey she can obtain by tho sword, This has beca the dream of every rulor Bince the death of the great £mpre: Russia is piney? ready to make use of any excuse to further hor ambitious designs, A few years ago she declared war against Turkey on account of tho protection of the holy places—to-day it is for the protection of Turkish Christian subjects in the principalities, Out upon such hypocrisy! t would be much more honest to say— ‘@ want Constantinople and the control of the Blick Sea, and we intend to ootain them by force if we can. ‘Justitia’ goes on to state “that there 18 8 compari- tively Littie tarbarism in Russia as in England or any other country with a monarchical torm ot goveri- ment.”? | mustthiok that your correspondent penned this statement without due reflection. Every ono knows that England ts fully as {ree ag the United States— indeed, I might almost say that it 18 more free, for in England the minority bas rights, whic: not the tact ip this country; aud on Sunday a thirsty pedestrian bas no necessity to distend his stomach with carbonic acid yas in the shape of “ce cold soda,” but he can obtain a glass of wholesome aie without infringing the Jaw, In England every man’s house is his castio, A subject cannot be imprisoned except by duo process of law, and be can demand an immediate heariug by writ. of Babcas corpus, while the press is as free as 1t is in tho United states. A man in the United Kingdom c; worship God nocording to bis own heart, How is it a Russia? Every man’s lite is at the beck and nea ot pot who rules, 9 such thing as a free press and no religion save that of which the Czar 18 atthe head i tolerated, Religion ts, in fact, much more treo in Turkey than in Russia, and yet, iorsooth, Aussia must goto war to protect the Christ Jects ol Turkey! ‘Justitia’ finds fault with Eogiana becauze she sided with the Confederates during tue late war, Even if she did so she sided with oue-baif the country; but 1 deny the fact. The majority oi the Englisb peuple were with the North to the backbone, ‘The very fact that English subjects sought to make money by assisting the proves tho tree- dom existing in tne country. The gover: interfere with any subject until he comm act, Does not “Justtia’’ believe that if war were do- ciared between Russia aod England there would be plenty of citizens ready to avail themseives of the op- portunity to make money!

Nervous fe- males and other persons of sensitive natures and per- sous believing in ghosts and such absurdities are not only greatly inconvenienced, but actually injured, in body and mind by this ridiculous superstition, My 'ob- ject is to ask, through tho colutnns of your paper if it would not be better for the judges of courts to sen. tenco criminals to be executed some other day than Friday, Although this will not make the compiee reform desired, yet it will be a longer step in the right direction than can bo taken by any other single measure, R.

THE NOTORIOUS HUSBAND AND CHILD POISONER ESCAPES FROM TH& CONNECTICUT SrAaTE PRISON. New Haves, Conn,, May 30, 1877. Between the hours of tweive and ove o'clock this morning, Lydia Sherman, the murderess of a husbandt and seven children by poisoning, of whiow crimes she ‘was convicted in 1872 and sentenced (to muprisonment for life, made her escape from the prison at Wethors Held, and up to (his time no intelligence of her where abouts bas been obtained, HOW THE FLIGHT WAS MANAGED, The actual method by which she gained ber liberty and the agencies inside or outside to enable ler to de soare not positively known, but the following will serve plausable theory by way of expianation:— At half-past twelve, as is ber custom, Mrs. Water house, the prison matron, made her tour through tue female quartera, She found all the prisoners occupying the lower tier of cells in their places. Mra, Sherman was in her cell, which adjoms the prison laundry, and appeared to be dozing, like one weary of the day’s labor, For a long time, on account of Mra, Sherman’s il! health, she has been allowed many privileges denied oth joners, the principal one being the freedom of certain portions of the prison by day and the leaving open of her cell duor at night, tho object being to enable her to make her wants known if taken suddenly i1!, Tne matron was accustomed to see this particular door open, and accordingly, when she saw the moderna Lucretia apparentiy sleeping, passed on and ascended to the upper tier of colls without give ing the matter athought. Placing all circumstances together itcan now be seen Wat Mra Sherman bad been studying the position and was waiting tor tho matron’s nightly visit, Remaining ti) Mrs, Water. house had reached the upper tier of ceils and was out of sight Mra. Sherman stealsaiiy left her cell, passed into the workroom and trom thence to the kitepen, alter reaching which it was an easy matter for her té unlock the door and reach the outer yard and then make good ber escape, Evidently she pursued this course, but by whom she was aided or what direction she took after reaching the outside 18 not known, DEBCRIPTION OF THE FUGITIVE, Warden He: has notified the authorities in all the Principal cities and tow: the State.
