There were nearly two hun- dred scholars in the building at the time, under the care of Mr. Foulke and Miss Miller, and they all happily escaped without the slightest accident. ‘This was mainly owing to the promptitude and prudence of Miss Miller. his lady saw the smoke, and imme- diately walked in and stood by the flue, spreading out her dress so_as to conceal the appearance of the fire from the girls, at the same time warning them to break up fark get away. Mr. Joseph B. Macauley, janitor of the school, immediately came with a small Yoee, and with the assistance of the firemen, extin- guished the flames.

For the defendant it was insisted that the act of 1848, called ‘‘the married woman’s act,” stated that such property was not liable for the busband’s debts. The property of the de- fendant’s wife, it appears, consisted of houses and land, which she inherited from her mother, who died in 1841. This, it is alleged, (ae the husband a life interest in the property. e “questions thus pre- sented are two—first, t the act of 1848 was un- constitutional, as div the title of legally ace quired property from the husband, and refore, retrospective. And, secondly, that with regard to the equity of the case, the debt was incurred for im- i ena in the house property of the wife of the lefendant, the renta of which she received. His Honor the Judge held that the defendant had an interest in the property, which must be applied to the payment of the judgment. Superior Court—Special Term, Before Hon. Judge Duer. Jan. 7.—Richard L. Allen vs. Antoine Longett, and Thomas Carnley, Sheriff —This is an old case, and the present action is on a motion to perpetuate an injunction. It appears that in August, 1848, Longett obtained an execution against A. B. Allen, one of the firm of A. B, Allen Co., agricultural implement dealers, Water street, for the sum of about $3,500, he, Longett, asserting that previous to 1850 he was one of said firm. The matter was in the hands of Sheriff Carnley, who proceeded to sell Allen’s interest in the firm; but previous to the sale affidavits were made, whereby an injunction was granted, restraining the sheriff from action in the remises. Longett has given an indemnity bond to he sheriff of $8,000, and states his willingness to be satisfied with the proceeds of the sale of A. B. Allen’s interest. Itis alleged, on the part of the plaintiff, the establishment, at a salary of $1,200 per annum. Argument was heard from “Messrs. N. B. Blunt and A. J. Vanderpoel, for Sheriff Cenity, D. 'T. Walden and F. McCarthy, for Longett, and H. E. Davies and D. B. Eaton, for plaintiff. Decision reserved. IN THE MATTER OF THE BROADWAY RAILROAD IN- JUNCTION. g Jan. 10.—This matter came up this morning. The Broadway owners were represented by ex-Judge Bronson, Messrs. John Van Buren and Henry Hilton, and the Corparedan and Aldermen, by Mr. Dillon, the Corporation Counsel, (excepting that two of the Aldermen were BUTS el by H. H. Anderson.) The Court directed the following order to be en- tered, for the purpose of haying the questions heard by the whole court:— The motion for attachment for contempt in disobeying their injunction in this action, and that such injunction will be made perpetual, coming on to be heard, and Messrs. Brongon, Van Buren and Hilton appearing on behalf of plaintifts, and Mr. Dillon as counsel for the defendants, Mr. Field and Mr. Anderson for the persons against whom the motions for attachment are made, it is ordered by the court that said motions for attachment be postponed until the 15th January inst., at 10 o’clock A. M.; and it is also ordered that copies of all affidavits to be read in opposition to the motions for attachment be served on the plaintiffs’ attorneys herein, on or beforoJanuary, 13th inst. And itis further ordered that the motion to make the injunction perpetual in this action, against the de- fendants, and all questions thereon, be postponed until after the motions for attachment for contempt herein have been argued and decided, reserving to the defendants the right, when the motion for attachment has been heard, to move at that time that the motion to make the injunc- tion perpetual be heard before the motions for attach- ments shall be decided. (After the order was made, Mr. D. D. Field ap- peared before the Judge, and had his name inserted as Counsel for the Aldermen in contempt.) Common Pleas.—Part Second. Before Hon. Judge Woodruff. Tan, 8.—Joseph W. Vale and others vs. John Rice. —Action on a Contract.—This was an action com- menced in the year 1847, for the recovery of a differ- ence in the price of about 4,000 bushels of oats, and their value at the time when they were to have been delivered. The price was 47 cents per bushel, and their value, when deliverable, 65 cents per bushel. ‘The defendant contended that he was not liable, be- cause he did not contract to sell about 4,000 bushels of oats, but only a lot of oats that one Boothe had, and that he had offered them to the plaintiff, who rejected them because there were not about 4,000 bushels. There have heen two trials in this court before, at each of which a verdict was returned by the jury for the plaintiffs, and each of which was set aside, ‘and a new trial ordered, because of errors of law, by the Court. His Honor, the Judge, charged that if the evidence showed that the lot of oats bought by Rice of Boothe, was the lot which the Hagia) referred to by their contract, (and he thought the evidence clearly tend- ed to show that to have been the case,) then the jury had nothing to do with any evidence of custom; and as the defendant had offered to deliver that lot, no matter what its quantity, whether 2,400, or 4,600, or fendant. But that if the evidence did not prove that it was the Boothe lot, or any particular lot of oats, then they might resort to evidence of. the customa meaning, by usage, of the words, “say about, ad more or less,” in determining what quantity of oats should be delivered under the contract. The counsel for the defendant, Mr. John Cochrane, excepted to this part of the charge, saying that the autject of the contract was the lot of oats, (and so the Court of Appeals had held,) and there being evidence desig- nating what the lot was—that the contract was no longe. uncertain; that any custom applicable to the meaning of the words “more or less, and say about,” words which in no manner atiected the subject of the sity conflict with the evidence. maintaining the position by his argament, to which the Court assented. ‘3 considerable importance to the mercantile commu- description are to receive in our courts of law. when, not agreeing, (standing five for the plaintilY, and seven for the defendant,) they were discharged, Court of General Sessions.

He was found shortly afterwards, and the watch and chain recovered, but not the money.

He was convicted, and sentenced to The tate prison for two years. A Short Case.—James Short, a short boy, was charged with assaulting officer Kinner, of the Third ward, a short time ago while in discharge of his du- ty, &c. It appeared the proseautor had, on the 21st eee iat, gone to the prisoner’s employers on some matter of business, and that while there the prisoner had made an attempt to strike him. No ac- tual assault was committed and the jury immediate- ly acquitted the accused. Burglary.—Jobn H. Thompson (colored) and Pa- trick of John E. Norris, clothier, No. 8 South street, on the 9th December last, and stealing a dozen pair of pantaloons, value $25. The property was found in the possession of Thompson on the same night, and he was accordingly convicted, andsentenced to two | years imprisonment. The prisoner McDermot was acquitted and discharged. ‘i Charge of Assault, with Intent to Kill—Johu Dunlap was indicted for assault and battery, with | intent to kill vohn Hughan, carpenter, 185 Sixteenth street, on New Year's eve, by stabbing him in the arm. The prisoner was a shoemaker, and the street row occurred just opposite his own dwelling; and the knife, which was produced, was one such as ordi- narily is used in his trade. The jary returned, alter a few minutes absence, with a verdict of assault and paliasy: only. The prisoner was remanded for sen- ence, Adjourned till Wednesday morning. Police Intelligence, Arrest of Two Shoplifters.—About 11 o'clock on Monday morning, quite‘a rush of people hurried into the Police Court, at the Tombs, in consequence of Officer Van Winkle, of the Third ward, having in cus- tody two young men of genteel appearance, named Edward L. Brown and George H. Horton, charged with stealing 10 dozen of gold finger rings, valued at $90, the property of E. J. Richards, jeweller, 179 Broad- | way. It. seems that the accused parties went into the | store of Mr. Richards, and wished to see some articles of jewelry, to purchase. The articles were shown to them, and while Horton engaged the salesman in conversation, Brown secreted the 10 dozen gold rings about his person. The property was missed before the rogues left the store, and suspicion resting on Brown, Mr. Richards stopped both from leaving the store, and sent for the aid of the police, and when the officer came the rings were found on the person of Brown. The officer then conveyed both peopel to the Tombs ; and Justice Osborne, on the facts pre- | sented by Mr. Richards, committed them both to prison for trial, on a charge of grand larceny. Is Killing a Horse Manslaughter?—On Monday, Officer M’Carthy, of the Nineteenth ward, arrested a man named Samuel Whitman, on a charge of cruelly beating a stage horse belonging to Mr. Dingeldine, proprietor of one of the Third avenue line of stages. it seems that Whitman beat the horse with an iron- shod whippletree, and the last blow he felled the poor animal to the ground, which killed him. The accused was conveyed before Justice M‘Grath, who held him to bail to answer the charge. A Violent Assault on a le.— Yesterday morning officers Horton and Blake took: into custody a man, named George Stone, keeper of a public house, known’ as the ‘Mistletoe Bough,” situated at No. 517 Pearl street, ona charge of committing an outrageous assault on the’ per ron of Mary Flizabeth Hulse, during the night previous, at the premises above named. Tho complainant, wl brought before Justice Osborn, made the following state- ment:—She says sho is from Patchogue, Long Island, where she was married to Enos Hulse. She is now twenty- four years of age, and has been the mother of five chil- dren, For come time past she has been living out at service, in New Haven, Connecticut; and on Monday evening she came from New Haven, for the purpose of getting employment in this city. Atthe depot, in Canal street two young men informed herthat they would take her to a respectable place to board, and accordingly took her to the Mistletoo Bough, in Pearl street, where she was introduced to Stone, the proprietor of the house, and he, abe 10 o'clock that night, conveyed her to a sleeping apartment, in the rear’ of the same build- ing, when he locked the door and violated her person. She endeavored to make an alarm, but he fa his hand over her mouth, whieh prevented her rom so doing. In this room the complainant was kept fastened in during the night, and at daylight on making a noise, a woman came and let her out. She then went into the strect, and some citizens found her shedding tears, and directed the attention of the police, who, on hearing her story, arrested Stone, whom the woinan iden- tified as the person who committed the outrage as above described. On the sworn testimony of the woman, Stone was committed by the magistrate fora further exami- jeape and the complainant was also committed as a witness. The City Post Office.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, MONEY MARKET. Toxspay, Jan 11-6 P. M. There does not appear to be the slightest falling off in the demand forstocks, or any depreciation in prices, of any importance. Occasionally some fancy, after having been considerably inflated, will react a frac- tion or so; butas a general thing, prices have for some time past been well sustained. Operators in the street are looking for even greater activity; and as money is daily getting cheaper and more abun- dant, there is certainly foundation for their anticipa” tions. The exportation of specie has nearly ceased, while the importations are likely to be larger than ever. From California the receipts will, without doubt, be much greater in 1853 than they were in 1852, while there are no indications of any increase in the shipments. An accumulation for five or six month, at the rate of five or six millions of dollars per month, would have an immense influence upon prices, and create an active speculative movement in almost every species of property. Nearly every year since the discovery of gold in California, the shipments from this port to foreign countries have been quite large. In 1848 the aggregate was $11,034,786; in 1849, $4,803,450; 18560, $9,952,948; 1851, $43,743,209, and in 1852, $25,096,255, making a total of $94,630,648 in six years, averaging $15,771,775 each year. When it is considered that the early importations from California were quite limited, it will be seen that a very large per cent of the receipts of California gold has passed through our hands into those of foreigners. The effect of this has not thus far been of an unfa vorable character. We have added more or less each year to the metallic currency of the country, and our paper currency remains upon as good and firm a basis as at any previous period. We have therefore no complaint to make—nothing to find fault with. The prospect is encouraging for a greater aug- mentation of metallic wealth this year than we have yet experienced, and the probability is, that instead of the expansion in paper credits increasing ina greater ratio as speculations progress and enterprises become developed, the supply of specie for a basis will grow more rapidly, and that at the end of ano- ther twelve-month we shall rest upon a more substan- tial foundation than at this moment. In January, 1852, the exportations of specie amounted to $2,868,- 958. Thus far in the month, this year, the exports have been less than one hundred thousand dollars, and no shipments of any importance are, we believe, in con- templation. Last year, at this time, sterling ex- change ruled between ten and a half and eleven per cent. Now itis below ten per cent, and likely to go stilllower. This is a very favorable feature, indica- tive of great abundance of money, and a steady im- provement in the value of the circulating medium of the country at large. It is our impression that the metallic currency of the United States at the close of the present year, will be at least thirty millions of dollars greater than at this moment. Whether the issues of paper credits by the banks will continue at the rate realized within the past year or two, depends a great deal upon the confidence of the public. The variations in the stock market at the firs board, to-day, have been as follows :—Nicaragua Transit declined 4 per cent; Cumberland Coal Co., 4; Long Island, 3; Stonington, 3; Reading Railroad, 4; Panama Railroad, 1. Parker Vein Coal Company advanced 3} per cent; Phoenix Coal Co., 3; Norwich and Worcester, 3; Indiana 5’s, 3. At the second board !Phoenix improved 4 per cent; Sixth Avenue Railroad, }. Erie Railroad declined 4 per cent; Read- ing Raitrod, 14. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port, to-day, amounted to $178,193 33; pay ments, $27,424 51—balance, $2,441,857 63. The importations into this port to-day, January ith, have been as follows :— Coffee—75 casks. Drugs—200 boxes camphor, largest portion of the shipping season, the rates were much higher than those of the same period in the previous year, when, as it will be great competition was maintained. During the last winter, however, the charges were twenty cents per ton less than for the like period and early spring of the pre- vious year. The present rates, which will be main- tained during the winter, are twenty centa more than those of last year; and it is estimated that an increased profit of at least $100,000 will thus be obtained. The cost of transportation, as compared with that of the previous year, exhibits the following resulte, vig — On coal, 16-100 cents leas per ton. “« Merchandise, 9 62-100 do. more per ton, “ Passengers, 18 24-100 do, more for each through: passenger. The cost of hauling coal, inclading repairs of machinery, has been diminished 3 18-100 cents per ton, while the expenditures on the roadway have in- creased $41,563 44-100, lesa than two cents foreach ton transported. This has been caused chiefly by unusual expenditures on the wharves at Richmond, for dredging the docks, &.,and for an unusually large number of sills used, it being the eighth year since the second track was laid. Thomas Morton, John Stanton, and John L. Gra tacap were to-day elected trustees of the St. Law- rence Lead Mining Company, for the ensning year. This movement must have a very favorable influence upon the market value of the sock, The stock- holders will now learn the actual condition of the company’s affairs, and may rest satisfled that the working of the mines will be upon the most econo- mical, scientific system, and that if there is any actual value in the property, it will be apeedily deve- loped. Mr. Morton is practical mechanic and ma- nufacturer, of long experience, great determination of purpose, high integrity of character and indomi- table perseverance. Mr. Stanton isa practical miner, and has devoted fall thirty years to mining operations in England. He is probably one of the best mining engineers in the country, and will fora time devote all his energies to the arrangement of the affhirs of the St. Lawrence Lead Company. It is our belief that the election of Mr. Morton and Mr. Stanton hag more than doubled the intrinsic walue of the stock of this company, that it will place the stock at once among the highest on the bankers’ books, and be sought after by those who sold out during the administration of the old board of trustees. The public had no faith in the old management, and the stock has for a long time been much depressed. The first act of the new board will be a personal examina- tion of the company’s property in St. Lawrence county. An investigation of its finances will folow, when a report will be made to the stockholders of the actual state of things. There is no use in our anticipating the nature of that report, but those in- terested may rest assured that, whatever its com- plexion may be, it will be entitled to their entire con- fidence. We have heretofore said a great deal about this St. Lawrence Mining Company, and have fre- quently condemned the policy pursued in its man- agement. Our object ever has been to preserve the mining interest of the country generally from being injured by scheming speculators, who looked more to the market value of a stock than to the develope- ment of the resources of the fnine. Most rapid pro- gress has been made in building up the business of mining, public confidence has been, in a great mea~ sure, reinstated, and any and every set of men whose acts, either from ignorance, or any other cause, are calculated to injure or destroy this growing feeling in the community, should be at once condemned, and such measures immediately adopted as will take away their power to do harm. Lonses arising from one badly managed mining com- pany. have a tendency to prejudice the sufferers against all such investments, and they will, perhaps, never touch anything of the kind again. Well man- aged, there probably is nothing that pays such high 500 barrels gambia, 1,100 bags sago, 68 bags cubebs 36 cases gum copal. Dyewood—22 tons logwood Dry goods—1,835 packages, per steamer Baltic Fruit—5,000 oranges. fides—19 bales cow, 24 bales buffalo, Horns — 1,330 Buffalo. Molasse —258 casks, 48 tierces. Rattans—8,543 bundles. Steel—29 cases. Segars—41 chests. Spices—491 boxes cassia, 89 boxes nutmegs, 517 bags pepper. Tea—400 boxes. Tin—564 slabs. Zine—5,788 bars Window glass—990 boxes. The steamship Baltic, from Liverpool, brings four days later dates from all parts of Europe, but there is nothing interesting or important. There had been no variation of consequence in any of the markets» either as regards prices or demand. In financial affairs everything remained quiet, and without change. The Legislature of North Carolina, at its late ses sion, chartered no less than twenty-nine plank road companies, and one company to build a railroad from Fayetteville to the coal mines. Three new banks were also incorporated—at Yanceyville, with a capital of $200,000; at Elizabeth City, with a branch at Greensborough, capital $500,000; at Char- lotte, capital $300,000. The capital of the Bank of Wadesborough was increased $200,000.

The business of the year has realized a profit of nine per cent on the common and preferred stock as it stood at the date of the last report, after payment of the interest upon tho debt. Of the sum 80 realized, $100,000 has been invested as usual in the sinking funds, leaving cash dividends of seven per cents for the preferred and six per cent for the common stock, which have been duly declared. The profits on the preferred and common stock have ave- raged, for the last three years, more than 8} per cent. The conversion of bonds into stock was much larger than was anticipated, haviug reached at the closing of the books, 1,148,000. Had this conver- sion not taken place, the stock distribution would have equalied abont eleven per cent for the common and three per cent for the preferred. The renewal Balance dividend fund, 1852... fund, which showed a debit at the last annual state- ment of $15,716, now shows a credit balance of $22,- 487 10. Daring the yenr the company have made additional purchases of real estate for the accommo- ion of their passenger aud merchandise trains at Sroad and Willow streets, and now own nearly the entire square bounded by Broad, Willow, “Callowhill and Thirteenth streets, and have also secured 1,269 feet of river front, adjoining their present property at Richmond.
