The Firemen’s Ball. ‘The ball given by the Ringzold Assoclation to the firemen of New York and Brooklyn, herp ow in the Shakspo+re Hotel on Wednesday Notwithy the untavorable state of t athe: a early hour th: ball room was qaite fil with lads and lasses, of all ages, attired in their gayest apparel, prepared and re- rolved to spend a happy evening. There you could see not merely the joyous, happy, light-hearted maid, yet in her teens, but the grown-up matron joiuing the happy throng. and apparently forgetting for the time her cares and what sho now is. The members of the Association were dressed in their gala day attire, with a neat badge on thelr coat ‘by craps, one of thir mem- bers having heen consigned to his long home n few da: before. It was quits amusing to see & number of their youthful progeny tripping fantastically through t room, éressed 2 la pater. ‘The nonchslence with whi they conducted their equally young fair companions to their place in the dance, was delightful. This was ure in the ball, and it was gratifying to ob- ; gas they wore, the ease and grace with which they went through’ the dances—their waltsing was excoilént, surpassing that of their more advanced friends, whom they feiriy beat in twirliag round ths room. There was a goodly sprinkting of handaome, well dressed young ladies, to all appearance conquerlug thelr maseuline companions, and leading them prisoners in rory cheins, which we have no doubt the gentiemon were by 20 means inclined to break.

Why is thiat some one will say. The ex planation is a very easy one. ‘There are in the United Staves thirty millions of ho, ‘This is about fifteen times the amount that is usually slaughtered io the whole coantey. Se market, ia one ear, Hogs grow up to fullsize in lees than two years if follows, then, from these, facts, that there must be, at least, five times as many hogs in the country, that might be fatted for market, as there really are. < The deduction from this is one of great importance tothe pork merchant. It isthis: that the farmer has it all in his power to increase greatly the number of fatted hogs. The effect of this iacreass is to diminish the price in the hands of the por! rchant. The queetion with him then when will the farmer thus increase the number of bogs? ill act, like other men, from motives. His great motive is the de: — f profit on the cost of fatting. The cost of fatting epends on Indian corn, and the price is ascertained by the ruling price of pickled pork in the summer with the rices of the previo ason. If these are high, and he amount of Indian corn large, the number of hogs ou to market will be greatly increased. The far- mer fats bis pigs in September, October, and November. He cannot know what the price will be in winter; but if he finds previous prices high, and the prices of pickled pork high. he makes his calculations accordingly. The question, then, is only whether corn is abundant? In the autuma (1847) both these circumstances combined, Previous prices were comparatively high, and the crop of corn was immense. The results we see, in the great increase of bogs packed. The pork fatted at Cincinnati comes exclusively from Ohio, Kentucky, and Indians. pplies from all these quarters were immense ‘Take this fact. On one road leading to Cimoinnati from Indiana, 70.000 hogs (about), crossed the Miamitown bridge! There are other bridges over the Miami on roads leading from In- diaua. For about two months, the passage of hogs up the leading street, from the Ohio river, seemed to be almost constant. So, also, the turapikes coming ia from Ohio, indicate the same state of facts. ‘That we may have an idea of the capacity of these States, to increase the number of hogs brought to mar- ket, take the following statement. The first table con- tains the amount for 1340; the second for an estimate Corn, 33 668,144 bushels. 39 847.120 ** 165887 as - 6,033 887101 671,131 bed <n, the farmers of these three States had ‘of hogs, and more than am hundred millions six milltom: of bushels of corn. They could have fatted two mil- lions of these hogs, and sent them to market, on forty millions of bushels of corn. In 1847, we suppose this to be about tho state of facts: hogs. Corn.

We suppose that the hogs packed in these States, in the season of 1847-8, real- ly amount to but little over one million; but even this amount strikes the reader with its magnitude. ‘The contrast between this aountry and Europe, on this head, is most remsrkable. There is no country in Europe which has one fifth the proportion of swine that these western states have. Look at the following table : ‘Population, Hogs. russia,,.. . + +10 000.600 1.200.000 PBIB). sec ce cee cae + «18,500,090 2,800,000 Total, . veces ees 28,500,000 4,000,000 Here twenty-three millions of ‘people in Europe have four millions of hoge, and the States of Obio, Kentucky, and Indians, with three and a half millions of people, have seven millions of awine! ‘I'he proportion is twelve to one. This great disproportion is ocoasioned by the produc- tion of Indian corn in the United States, for which, as yot, the fattening of hogs has proved the most profitable employment. Tue Suocainc Murper in Sr. Louis.—On Saturday evening, Captain McDonough, Mar- thall Jennings, and officer Couzens, arrived in this city with Elisha Baldwin, who is charged with the mur- der of Victor Mathews, on Sunday night a week ago, in the northern = of this city. They arrested him at his brother’s house, about twenty miles from Jeffers city, on the edge of Moniteau county. The officers de. serve the highest credit, and substantia! remuneration, for their exertions in this matter. As it may iuter the public to know how they got on the track, and the facts as they transpired, we will attempt to state them ‘Phe body of Mathews was found on Monday morning last, the head perforated with two balls. Capt. McDonough immediately commenced his scrutiny to find out who Whe deceased was. Considerable difficulty occurred in identifying the murdered man. Some said ho was a drover, who had been several days in the city ; others thought he had been 8 passenger on the Laclede, but could not identify him, or give his name. Near evening, by mere accident, he found a person named Crouch, on board the EI and see the body. Creuch was sick, and being also well satisfied thet Mathews and Baldwin had both left in the morning 0 Jefferecn City, in th reluctant to go; but, as soon as he saw the body, he recognized it as that of Matthews. On further enquiry, it wae ascertained that Baldwin had left in the ‘stage that morning. The officers immediate! started for Jefferson City, and reached there, with muo! diffloulty, some time after the stege. There they pro- cured further information, and @ warrant from Judge Morrow, and fresh horses from General Pierce, and a guide to the residence of Mr Baldwin, the father ofthe accused. When within a short distance of the house, they saw three men going to another house, about a quarter or haif a mile distant, but being uncertain as to the identity of young Baldwin, and airaid of alarming him, they continued on to the father’s house, where, under pretence of buying lead or mineral, they learned id gone from the mo t her husband and rons over to They went to thie hi veral brothe: ily, sexted im 5 conversation.

At first, be expressed great astonishment, tad chewed ane. disposition turesiet, bat whan the ees rant was read by Captain MeDonough, in which the name of the deceased was given, he exclaimed, “ How did you find out his name?” After,some further prelimi- nariea, they all started over to the father’s house, where the trunk was found containing the most of Matthew's money, his wateh, koife, the pistol with which he was shot, and several other articles ja the way, Baldwin gave up, and confessed that he had Ned him, and told the offic money was concealed. ‘T' terview and parting be- tween the murderer and his father, mother, sisters and brothers. is described as most heart rending. From the facts elicited, even before his confession, t! seemed to be convint of his guilt, but the mother aid not be satisfied—even when he himeelf assured her had done it, she still clung to the hope that there was some mistake, but it was hoping against éespair. Even the strong feelings of the officers were subdued, 4: they all wept over the sad scene. The family are rep rented as highly respectable and comfortable farmers. Young Baldwin is about 22 or 23 years of age, and about three or four months ego visited his brother-in-!ow Matthews, (the deceased.) and his sister, Mrs M., at their residence, about fifteen miles from Helena, in Arkansas = T! hed been long married, and had a family of nineshildren. This was his first trip from home, and whilst he staid with bis brother-in-lawhe was treated with kindness, as he himself admits. Matthews was on his wa visit bis father-in-law, and had with him about five hundred dollars, with which he intended purchasing ® negro. Young Baldwin tray- elled with him, Matthews paying his passace, and treat- ing him all the way with kindness. Baldwin. in his con- fession, said that he left Matthews’ hous: witty the in- tention of killing him, and that he was induced to this determination by the ill-treatment which his sister represented that she had received from Matthews He, however, admits that, du- ring histhree months stay at Matthews, he never saw him maltreat bis sister, and for this reason, this part of the etatement is very questionable.

During the past week the stock market has been quite active,and prices for most of the fancies have improved afraction. State securities have not advanced so much as the fancies; and some of them, such as government sixes and Ohio and Kentucky sixes, rule very low. ‘The advance in the fanciss has not been very great when we take into consideration the low points many of them reached ; and with all the activity in the market, prices do not range more than from three to five per cent above the lowest level. This does not amount to much, when we look at the causes of the improvement, and th» real value of some of those stocks which are still considered fancies, compared with prices ruling. It would not be a difficult task to commence at the top of the table of stocks, and show that every one in the list—with one or two exceptions—was really worth at least what they are now selling for. Government should never go below par; and Ohio 6’s, Kentucky 6's, are as good as United States 6's, and are worth equally as much. The fancy railroad stocks are worth more than they are selling for, and all of them can psy good dividends upon their market value. The Long Island is selling for about twenty-five per cent of ite par valu: which reduces the aggregate capital stock to about five hundred thousand dollars ; this,with the debt, makes an aggregate cost of about one million of dollars, the inte- rest on which would be,at seven per cent, seventy thousand dollars—equal to the present net income of the road. This,therefore, is # seven per cent stock at the present prices, which is the par actual value. ‘The Harlem is selling at five per cent less than fifty per cent of its par value, but for the purpose of calcu- lation we put it downat fifty per cent. This reduces the aggregate capital stock to about eleven huadred thousand dollars, whioh,with the debt, makes the aggre- gate cost about two millions cfdollars. The annual in- terest on this at seven per cent, would be one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, equal to the net earnings of the road for the past year, showing this to be a seven per cent stock at fifty per cent which is the par value. The Norwich and Worcester is selling for a little more than one-third of the par value of the stock, which re- duces the capital stock to about five hundred thousand | doulars, which, with the debt, makes the aggregate cost about seventeen hundred thousand dojlarg, the annual interest on which, at seven per cent, would be one hun- dred and nineteen thousand doliars—equal to the net earnings of the road during the past year. It is there- fore clear that these stocks at present prices are in reali- ty seven per cent ijavestments. They are, in fact, more than seven per cent stocks, as we have calculated an in- terest of seven per cent on the debts, when they general- ly draw only six per cent, making the stock part of the capital a higher per cent investment. ‘At the present prise of Stonington, and its present rate of dividends it is nearly a tem per cent stock, with a margin of fifty per cent on the pat value, for an improvement. Mohawk is worth much more than it is selling for, as it must ultimately be » large dividend paying stock. As for Reading it is pretty difficult to tell what it is, or what it ultimately will be worth. Itisanimmense concern, and is well managed so far as its traffic is concerned, and it may eventually become @ permanent dividend paying security. Its di- viderds so far have been in stock, a movement which ‘we cannot but condemn, as ons calculated to embarrass and involve the company with increased liabilities in the shape of stook, without relieving the stockholders of the direct indebtedness of the concern. It has an immense business at command, which it can increase in proper- tion to its facilities for condusting. The Sehuytkil! Canal is its only rival,and it may prove @ dangerous one, t the consumption of coal is increasing so rapidly that every communication with the mining region will find fall employmentat remunerating rates. Asa public work, the Reading Railread is entitled to support, and asa useful concern it is beyond the injury of speculators, Every consumer of coal is interested in sustaining thie road, as it has saved to the poorer classes millions of dollars. Since its construction the consumers of coal have asved more than the aggregate cost of this road, while the stockholders have struggled along for years without remuneration, and almost without the hope of gain, It isstated that the business on this road has reached its maximum, that a car loaded with coal parses any point on the road every fifteem minutes, and that they cannot be iitcreased on aecount of the danger of collision, the annual expenses under that head al- ready smounting to a large sum; of this we ere not onpable of jadging, but even if such is the fact, it does not follow that the road cannot be made profitable. Its present income is sufficient, with proper mansgement, to liquidate its indebteduess, and ultimately pay cas! dividends. The Erie Railroad is worth more than itis selling for. The pressure upon the money market has affected the price of this as well as of every other stock. The pay- ment of inte on the new stock has not prevented a depreciation to such an extent, as to raise the inv. ment to about ight per cent stock, while the con- solidated etuck upon which no interest has ever been paid, is selling within twelve por cent of the scrip stock We do not understand how itis thet these two stocks range #0 near each other, one drawing six per cent in terest, and the other drawing none, but presume that the resolution of the board of directors to pay interest on the consolidated stock, when the road was completed to Binghamton, is the cause of the advance toe point no near the scrip stock. Ins few years these two stocks will be rated the same in the market, and will command better prices than those now current, As regards the other fancies, ws cannot give the hold- ers much encouragement. They may ultimately be worth something, and they may bo worth nothing; the probability is that most of them are worth nothirg. They anawor very well for speculation and give the small opera- tors a chance to corner each other, Railroads in this country,no matter where they are located, must ultimate- ly bs profitable investments ; we haveso much faith in them that we do not hesitates moment in predioting a ruccess beyond the most sanguine expectations of their stockholders |i who have confidence enough to purchase, and hold at precent prices, will reap a rich reward for the outlay. We have shown that most of those stocks, now considered fancies, are, in fact, seven per cent investments, andthe margin for an improve- meut in market value is no greater than the margin for ‘an improvement in earnings, and probable dividends. If there roads, in their present unfinished state, earn sev per cent dividends upon their present market value, there is no doubt but that they will before the lapse of many years, pay corresponding dividends upon the par value.

One dollar notes of the Geneva Bank, altered to fives, are inciroulation. They are so nicely done as only to be detected by the most minute examination, and until closely tested have every appearance of the genuine. It seemed to have been done by some process which re- moved the original figure 1’s, after which figure 5's were #0 neatly pasted in their places, that by holding the Dill up to the light, ninety-nine persons out of a hundred would not detect the fraud. The figure 1, at the right hand, lower corner of the bill, had been defaced with ink, as though by carelessness.

Live Stock—Sheep, 140; piga, 60, The shipments of breadstuffs to Great Britain and to Europe generally, have, during the past week, been li- mited. This is attributed to the character of the news from England, received by the Acadia; and the opinion we expressed sometime previous to the arrival of the last steamer, relative to future shipments, has been con- firmed. The difficulties in the money market of Eng- land, will have a very important influence upon the future importations of breadstuffs. Whatever deficien- cy may actually exist in the supply of food in the Uni- ted Kingdom, it will not appear until late in the season. There is evidently a determination to consume the do- mestic supply first, and carry their wants forward into the last month of spring or the first month of summer!

In the course of the article referred to, Mr. Barker makes an extract from the Herald of the 17th of January—in which it was stated that the government would be more embarrassed in its shipments of specie to Mexico, in the event ef the banks suspending specie payments, than if the banks continued solvent—and attempts to show that the gov- ernment, belog disconnected from the bank in its finances,would not be affected in the least by the suspen- sion of the banks. The position assumed by Mr. Barker is correct, as he starts with the fact, since established, that the government wants no more specie in Mexico, that Treasury notes are at four and five per cent pro} mium in Mexico, and are so much sought after that far- ther shipments of specie are usol This changes the whole position of things. The reputation of‘ Necker,” 83 0 finanoier stands high, and his acquaintance with the finances ofthe country, during the last war, give his opin- ions great weight, but we do not admit that our view of the cage, a8 we put it, was incorrect. The banks have about fifty millions of specie in their vaults, which is available | #0 long as they continue redeeming their bills, but which would be locked up, and usel in th it of their suspending specie payments. The payments to the go- vernment would then have to be made in the floating specie of the country, which would, without doubt, a1 swer all the purposes required, if the disbursements on the part of the government were all made within our limits; but im the event of large shipments to Mexico continuing, the supoly would soon be #0 much reduced that commercial transactions would be very stricted, and the receipts of the government duced. this way the government would be affected by the suspension of the banks, which could only be offset or annulled by the suspension of specie shipments to Mexioo, which have, as Mr. Barker says, ceased.
