The jury would recommend that the city authorities take such measures as will prevent the re- currence of such a calamity.”” Mr. Babe died about half past two o'clock P.

He was a young man, about twenty-five years of age, and a native of Germany. His remains were conveyed to Flatbush, yesterday after- noon, for interment. ‘Windisch left the city soon after the eccurrence, but | Fran iar fr pogpee le was slightly burned about the | hands face, and looked to be very melancholy. ‘The little girl, Martha Duncan, waa a great deal better yesterday, and with proper medical skill will no doubt recover. She says that, at the time of the explosion, there were two ea of gunpowder in the building, and that Mr. Higbee, lan knew when he rented the house to Bube and Windisch that fireworks were to be manufactured there. Mr. Higbee was subpoenaed asa witness at the inquest, but did not attend. The inhabitants of the neighborhood are very indig- nant at the Common Council for allowing such a quantity of powder to be stored within the city limits. It seems from the Lares Rotts ee ti eee were Vel explosions—first, of works, and, secondly, that of the powder; thus allowing him and his fellow workmen time to pe destruction, for if they had been in’the room at the time when the powder exp foded, they would ly have been kil Coroners’ Inquest.

The stock market for several days past has been moderately buoyant, and the transactions have been comparatively large, but we are disposed to look upon the upward movement merely as a temporary one. Money, it is true, is slightly easier, and loans are not only more easily negotiated, but upon more favorable terms. This has given the impetus to fancy stocks. It cannot be otherwise considered than as one of those reactions usual after a period of depression, and it would not be safe to enter the market, as pur- | chasers, under the present excitement. When wesee a fancy like Cumberland moving up five and six per cent, inas many days, it looks as though another re- action, but of a different character, must be near at hand. The bears are evidently availing themselves of this inflation, to put out contracts, and they will, without doubt, soon reap @ rich harvest. There is a large class of fancy stocks on the list it would do to sell at almost any price, and Cumberland stands at the head of the list. In the event of another sudden twist in the screws on the money market, we shall see these stocks tumbling down with a crash that will strike the foundation of many houses. Caution is particularly necessary in times like these. We know not how soon, and with what force, the money market may tighten, and it is best to be prepared for any emergency. We have seen within the past six or eight weeks, a severe contraction come upon the market, almost at a moment's notice; and such is the position of financial and commercial affairs in this country, at this moment, that we know not the day or the hour when a similar and a more serious stringency may occur. Prudence is commendable at all times; but when public and private credit gene- rally is so much expanded, it is particularly impor- tant that it be practiced. The fear of a collapse TRY 8 A vert ras eeet ings water Bt OUD ject of remark among mercantile classes, that, for the time, greater difficulty was never before experi- enced in raising money than during the recent con- traction, and but for the aid extended to each other, many failures must have occurred. Had they de- pended entirely upon the banks, as in former years, there would have been most serious consequences. The suddenness and severity of the stringency have induced many commercial houses to contract their operations, and the effect will be most salutary. Checks like these are healthy, and have a very fa- vorable influence. Upon the principle that preven- tion is better than oure, we like them, and are at all times disposed rather to foster and encourage them than otherwise. They are to the financial world what storms and tempests are to the material world, and the effect cannot, thercfore, be misunderstood. The stock market was again quite animated to- day, and at the first board a disposition was mani- fested to operate in almost everything that came up, and generally at somewhat better prices. The spirit | was even carried so far as to lead some of tho less wary to enter the lists for one or two fancies that had hitherto been looked upon as of a very question- able character. The only dropping off that we par- ticularly noticed at the first board was in the Phonix | Mining and Cumberland Coal Companies, the former of which declined 1, and the latter }. Long Island Harlem Bailroad, 13; Erie Railroad, 1}; Northern Indiana and Michigan Southern Railroad, 1; and Dauphin Coal, 1. By the table below it will be seen that some four or five other descriptions advanced }, and the remainder closed at the figures of the firat board yesterday. At the second board Nicaragua Transit improved 4; Parker Coal, 4 ; Montgomery Mining, }; Phoonix Mining, }. Erie Railroad de- clined 3, and Harlem 3. The highly favorable commercial reports brought by the Niagara from Europe had a very perceptible effect upon our market yesterday. Cotton went up 4a 4, according to quality, and more firmness was indicated in breadstuffs. A still better feeling will probably be imparted by the additional European advices published elsewhere.

From Albany we learn that the Mercantile, Corn Exchange, Empire and North River Banks, have beon selected by the Canal Board as deposi- tories for canal tolis. Each institution is to receive one-fourth of the funds. A bill bas passed the lower branch of the Wiscon- sin Legislature, prohibiting the circulation of un- authorized bank paper, and prohibiting all foreign bank bills after the first of January, 1854. The Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati (Ohio) Railroad has declared an extra dividend of three per eent, and also increased the capital stock thirty per cent, to be distributed pro rata, at par, among the holders of old stock, on the first of April. The Edgeworth Company have voted to paya land dividend of $2 per share, thus reducing the stock to its original par, $5; and also voted to issue 20,000 shares new stock at $5, making the total ca- pital 60,000 shares. The Indiana State Sentinel occasionally posts up the public at large on the condition of the bank rag mania in that State, under what it denominates the “« free system.’ On the 2lat it gave the following as a listof concerns which are issuing bills for cir- culation hundreds of miles distant from the residence of the man whose hat, if he owns one, is probably his place of business. They are all supposed to exist in perpetual violation of the law under which they are organized, by not having on hand a single penny in specie:—State Stock Security Bank, at Newport; Drovers’ Bank, at Rome; Merchants’ Bank, at Lafayette; Bank of North America, at Newport, (failed once); Plymouth Bank, Plymouth; State Stock Bank, Logansport. The Sentinel re- marks that the bills, being intended for circulation, and not for redemption, they can never be exchanged for specie, except under protest at the office of the Auditor of State. The Chicago Democrat mentions an important decision by the Supreme Court of Illinois, in the case of the Alton and Sangamon Railroad Company vs. Carpenter, in regard to the proper measure of dam- ages for the right of way over private lands. The Court held that, in estimating damage done to land by the construction of a railroad, the advantages which the land will derive from its construction are to be taken into consideration and deducted; and that estimation of these advantages is not to be con- fined to the advantages peculiar to the tract of land, but also the increased value the land bears, in com- mon with other land, beyond what it would bear if the road was not constructed, or to be constructed at all. If this increased value is equal to or greater than the damage done, then no damage can be as- sessed or compensation given for the appropriation ot the land. tock Exchange. $3000 US6’s, 62... 1143 100 shs PhonMngCe 23 ~ 8000 ER2dMBb60 107-5 dows... 2296 250 N Crk Coal Covad 214 50 Gt N Lead Co.360 4 200 do 7 85; 5000 Glen &C7pcB 9654 85, 20 shs Bk America, 110 85 70 Phonix Bank 86 10 State Bank,..... 1083 86 16 Bank Commerce. 107% 85: 25 Hanover Bank... 85 10 ContinentalBank 99 40 Far&Cit Bk W’bg 100 150 Mor Canl.s3,p&o 21% 200 Canton Co 2054 100 HarlemRR Pref'd 500 L Island RR, .b30 200 do. 100 ae 50 NY &NHRR... 11036 150 Mich Contral RR 10754 b60 54 i 5 3: | 100 Pen Goal Co...b7 1143 82 Mich South’n RR ib 100 Cum Coul Co.b60 65°” 15 N Indiana RR... 125 100 do,.....b15 54% 10 Roch, La& NFRR 110% 550 «.
