DAILY NEWS. SATURDAY MORNING. KKi;rKMBKH2. 1H?5. A Hcmurkiililc Exliumatiou. JWKCOVEKY OK THIS DOTO OF ''ANl'Ti"'s UAVCinTKll. The following bit of antiquarian news in from the West Basses (England) Gazette o? a recent tinto: Tho mont interesting arclnookwlcal ttecovcry which hau ovor boon Diado in that nolgnnorliootl to? ili iliaco in the chnrch of Boubani a fow?oys since. In continuing tho rcstoratiou ?>l this bcaa tiful specimen of Baxon nxcuitooluro Bomooxonw tioiio wore uni ?le in order t<> luv boro tue oases ol tho columns supporting tho chancel areli, wliicb arc on a much lower level than those ol the arcado separating tho nave from the aisles. In laying bare those bases it wan thought advisable to ex tend tho excavations ft little, for it wns just m front of IhiH areli that tradition hiiB uniformly atuteil that tho youthful ?laughter of tho Punish King Canuto was buried. Just below tho level of the I old lloor a slnb of ?tono wns discovered. Care fully the excavation waa earriotl ?in, and aoon it wftH found, aB had been already conjectured, that thiB stone covered a small atono coftln. Every care wub taken, and tjio cotlin wna afterwards opened in tho presence of the Rov. Henry Mitchell, P. B. A. (tho Vicar of liosham), Ii?h ?on, Henry. Mr. C. ?turges Jones (aurgcon of Chichester), and Mr. Edgar J. Varlev, an artist or some noto. Aa aoon un the lid, which wan ?even inches thick, waa raised, tho form of the child could be distinctly ?cen. Tho figure ?aB three feet nino meliea in height, bo that probably the child was not mor?! than five vcara old. Tho hand had been placed Jby tho side of the body; the bones, although rc tluccd to a white dust, could be very cloarly traced. The inside measurement of the coffin was four feet ihrco inches in width at the breast, thirteen inches at the head, and ten inchcB at tho foot. ?No jew elry or anything of the aort wob found?probably i?o child was too young to bo buried with any personal ornaments about her. Thiu extraordi nary discovery fully confirms tho tradition that this wau the "daughter of Canuto, the form and plainness of the conin furnishing additional proof. ? . ? The German Punch, editcil in Berlin, publishes a, coat of arms, drawn for President Johnson. It consists in a pair of open sc?Baors; between the lower part is a tailor's goose, and between the upper parts a thimble, surrounded by balls of thread instead ot cannon balls. And in tho pinces of flags and flagstafla. the sciasors are surrounded -with yardsticks, on which are hanging coals and pantaloons. The whole rests on a platform, deco rated with American drapery and a shield, bearing the motto: "I shall mend the torn Union." The device ia a great compliment to equality, and a snub on tho armorial ensigns of retrogressive and useless nobility. - - The body politic in New York appears to be pretty well covered with felons. COMMERCIAL. -PINANCIAX AND COMMERCIAL. (fronv the N. Y. Tribune, Aunusl 2C] The flux* Market in firm, but the upward tendency If? cheeked by the action of brokers who have yet to buy the Rtocks thrown overboard in the panic of last week. Many of them are waiting for the recurrence of the scenes of 1847, forgetting tha t financial affairs oro en tirely changed, 'ihen business -.vas ?loue upon long credits, railways were tottering under h?:avy floating debts, and a slight shock to confidence only was needed to cause a general failure and a collapse hi prices. N?iw business is done for cash, or very short credit, railways arc free of debt aud earning largely, and there is Uoiuiug upon which to base a panic and a protracted fall in values. Upon the existing volume o? paper money prices are readily sustainc?l, especially in railways and securi ties, which would be deemed cheap at currcut rates in gold, when specie payments aro resumed. The day that sees gold at par, will probably llud railways like the Erie selling at par, with the whole list Helling at much higher rates thun now. Frauds may be committed und speculators c?imc to grief, but the business or the. coun try does not feel the Bhoek and advances stea?lily. The Times, of the same ?late, says: Tho banks curtail their loans four ami a half millions, but gain two an?l a half millions in legal-tender money since last Monday. The curtailment, wo presume, is partly on United States '"> isury certificates of indebt edness, paid off during the week. In tho gold average UkAlMllka lose about half a million, and the Treasury ?fj ?lay ween, out ut utia n.nl *..... u ;? ?aUsvad tho Gov ernment sold little or no gold during the week. The favorable bank statement to-day, and the restored <vuict on tho street at the cIobc of business on Saturday, have had the effect on money-lenders to increase their offerings to the brokers on call, and in some instances at C per cent in place of 7 per cent. The general report of ease in the market to-day Induces the npiniou that be fore the week is out 0 per cent, wilt be the rule of the street for loans on demand. This sudden change of confidence has its influence, of course, on the Stock Ex change, and pri?es <WQ again on the advance, ou a stiff demand for Government securities, and a fresh upward and vigorous movement in Eric shares. The Herald says : The demand for foreign exchange is increasing with the ?liminutlon of the supply of mercantile bills drawn ?gainst the deposit of nve-twenticsaud the other securi ties. Bankers' sixty days' bills wcro sold at 1U9'? (? : net, and some ?if the leading drawers asked 109,",'." Tho affairs of the city banks are being actively can vassed at present, in consequence of the recent defalca tions and the loose management which allowed scope for the acceptance of the forgeries of Ketchuin. [.From the Journal of Commerce.} Money is in larger supply, and is more freely offered. "Loans on call are readily obtained on the best securities at 7 per cent., and many of the larger operators ejfeLi that they have no difficulty in borrowing all the:. .,',, .at C per cent. ; and some report transu?tio-Ti ZT 7/ff ^ ~ lower rate.
