«19 Wi @ Up"—What Does tt Mean ? ‘The two houses of the Maryland Legislature have been at as to the proper use of the term “‘to wind up;” and the following report presents a lucid and somewhat amusing exposition of the subject. Mr. Williams, from the committee to which was re. erred the bill entitled an act to authorize the Ameri an Mutual Insurance Company of Baltimore, to wind up the business of said company; submitted the following REPORT : The Select Committee to which was referred the bill ir an act to sages oa Nsioal snmasenee, om pany of Baltimere, to wind up the basiness of sai “ pany, received from the Hous of Delegates, with certain amendments of the Senate dissented from, has had the fame under consideration, with the reasons for such diasent accompanying the bill, and begs leave to report ‘That, although deference to the wishes of the House nduces the committee, in couclusion, to recommend to the Senate to recede from its amendments, yet it avails itself of the occasion to precede that recommendation vith sa few remarks, in vindlostion # the Senate from the implied imputation of hypercritism in suggesting ‘the employment of the word dose,” with its variations, instead of “wind,” “wi ” and “wound.” Besides, that the use of the latter words seemed to the Senate, if not inaccurate, at least too colloquial for the gravity of a legislative atyle, this body doubted such use being supported by good authorities. : House, however, insists that the words ‘ to wiad up,” &., are the only words which can completely ex- press the idea intended; that it is now not only the ap- propriate term to express the idea, but that no other word is as well adapted to that end—thus conveying, for the first time, the startling intelligence that the lan- heretofore employed by the Legislature on such Sublects has always been either ambiguous or inadequate. ‘And the House defends the use of these potent ex- by authority of late British law writers, and By received lexicographers. The profession of the law bas nover been remarkable, either for elegance or even for correctness in its style of writing, with few excep- tions. The Monkish Latin and barbarous Norman French, with which their studies are deeply imbued, make their works unsafe guides for the cultivation of language. They are not gn to resort habitually to the pure ‘fountains of English undefiled. Further, the committee appeals from these modern British innovators on law and language to those riper scholars found in the ranks of the profession, such as Lord Bacon, Lord Mansfield, Lord Campbell and Black- stone. Nor will this use of these expressions, it is cont- dently believed, be tound i writings of our own dis tinguished jurists, as Kent, Marshall and Story. House further reeks to fortify its employment of “to wina up,” as synonymous with ‘‘close,” or ‘close up,” by reference to those great lexicographers, Kichard- ba and Webster. has three meanings ‘‘to wind up: First, To close or conclude the convolution Second, To come or bring to a period, to a gion or tightness, fit for revolution or re-actior Third, To tighten. : Do these definitions furnish any authority to the House for ita use of the terms “to windup?’ The committee thinks the insurance company would feel puzzled, if told that the act of Assembly had empowered them to ‘‘con- clude the conyolution’’ of their charter, or that the act had 4 them in ‘a state of tension or tighness, fit for lution or re action. were Webster's Quarto Dictionary of 1828, being the first edition, under the words ‘to wind up’’ are found six meanings. Five of those meanings are wholly variant from the sense employed by the House and corresponding with its accustomed use; and each of those five defini- tions is supported by references to distinguished authors. The remai definition is—‘‘To bring to a conclusion or settlement.” For this meaning Dr. Webster gives no authority; and why not? Because, forsooth, he could find none. | Hid he lived until these days he would have found a modern American authority in the House of Delegates of Mary- jand. ite of ten- But, as if to rebuke this novel interpolation of a mean- ing into an expression foreign to its long received defi- nitions, the learned editor of Webster’s Dictionary of 1852, carefully omits that definition of the phrase “to wind up,” inserted in the edition of 1828, placed there without an authority. So that the later Webster, so far from sustaining the meaning relied on by the House, is an authority agaiost it, inasmuch as it knocks away the Pillar on which the House rested for that definition. meaning contended for is not found in Johnson, | Mazon’s Eupplement, Walker, the American Dictionary, nor aay other Lexicon which the committee has had an opportunity of consulting. The committee is, therefore, justified im its viadication of the Senate, which body assumed that there was no respectable American autho- rity for giving so perverse @ meaning to an expression, all of whose legitimate uses and analogies are directly the contrary. i However, the House of Delegates has adopted this no- velty, and the committee recommends an acquiescence in this ado; by receding from its amendments, in order that the meritorious object of the bill may be ac Hexceforth, when in the laws of Mary- complished. land, individuals or companies are authorized ‘to wind up” their business, they are not to suppose that they are wound up for a fresh start, but they are to understand that whon they are,‘‘wound up.” they are setually NATH, WILLIAMS, “wound down, ’’ L y JOHN H. SOTHORON, JOHN K. LONGWELL. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, MONEY MARKET: Tuvrspay, April 23—6 P. M. The stock market opened heavy this morning, and prices were slightly depressed. At the first board to-day Morris Canal fell off 4; per cent; Canton Co., {; Nica- ragua Transit, 3;; Pennsylvania Coal, 34; Cumberland, ; Harlem, 54; Parker Vein, 4; Erie Railroad, 134; Phoenix Coal, 4; Erie Bonds, 1871, :4; Norwich and Worcester, 4; Hudson Railroad, 134; Panama Railroad, 3. Rochester and Niagara Falls Railroad advanced 1 per cent; Florence and Keyport, %{; Utica and Schenectady Railroad, 3. ‘There appears to be an increasing disposition to sell. The market is weak and sickly, and it is evidently impos- ible for holders of the leading fancies to sustain prices Jong enough to put any amount on to other hands. It has for some time past been the impression among specu- lators that as soon as the money market improved, and the ruling rates of interest became reduced, fancy stocks would advance, and an active movement commence. The money market is and loans can be negotiated with great facility; notwithstanding which, quotations for wtocks generally range at comparatively low prices. It is true they are much higher than during the height of the panic, but not so high as they have been within the past six months by a very large percent. They have been worked up to the present standard with a great deal of difficulty, and it will be found more difficult to sustain them where they are. We speak of the market generally, and the exceptions are few and far between. The elements of improvement are prominent in Morris Canal, Nicaragua Transit and Parker Vein, and they may prove strong and abundant enough to carry each of them con- siderably above ruling rates. It may, however, result to the contrary. Other fancies being dull and depressed, the effect on those above named may be of an unfavorable character, and all may steadily depresiate together. Tho inflation going on in the stock of railroad companies forming the central line through this State, has had a tendency to Bustain other railroad stocks at points considerably be- yond what would otherwise have been current, and it is possible this influence may continue for « time longer; but it must ultimately be lost. The advance in the mar- ket value of the stocks of the central line of railroads is nimost wholly artificial, and is so far beyond their actus} | intrinsic value that we must be prepared for a reaction, gnd, of course, a very greatdepreciation. The experience @erived from the enormous extension of the railroad sys- tem of New England is sufficient to deter all sensible, shrewd men, from involving themselves in this movements and the result will show that similar causes generally produce similar effects. What has already been realized in New England in regard to the value of railroad pro- perty as investments will soon be realized here, and we will then see such changes as will sweep away at least Swenty-five per cent of their present inflated value. Railroads in every section of the country are con- Zinually increasing in cost; and are running up their capital and indebtedness at such a rapid rate = ‘This improvement in the receipts is only what we have predicted. Should they continue, a large dividend ean be made to the old stockholders, after paying all ex- penses and interest. . We are informed that the contracts pow offering to the company justify the belief that they will not only continue as large, but that they will consi- derably increase. ‘Toe steamship Canada, at Halifax from Liverpool, has not brought much commercial intelligence.

The application for an injunction against the Junction Railroad of Ohio, to prevent their building the road west across the Bay of Sandusky, umder the Port Clinton charter, was refused by Judge M’Lean, of the United States Court, on Tuesday of this week, at Columbus. This settles the question as to the right to cross navigable waters, and will secure to the lake shore road a short and direct line to Toledo, We understand the junction road will build that portion of their road west of Sandusky under the Port Clinton charter, and that they have adopted the same guage of the Michigan Southern from the west, and those leading east from Cleveland through Pennsylvania, which will eaable the several roads to put onacar at the Mississippi, and run through to the city of New York without change. ‘The Philadelphia Ledger of yesterday says :— The new silver coin was paid out of the mint yesterday, for the first time. Adams & Co. drew out $250,000 for the New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore markets. It is the expectation of this te firm to draw out forty or fifty thousand dollars daily for some weeks. At this rate the country will be soon pretty well supplied, and we shall no longer hear complaints of a want of small silver change. As yet, we believe, nothing larger than quarters have been made. The machinery of the mint, we understand, is taxed to its utmost capacity in the manufacturing of this much needed coin, Over two millions of dollars in value of silver have been received to be coined, up to this time, and the amount is daily coming forward. No interesting changes Lave uccurred in the dry goods trade during the past week. The locs] inquiry is tolera- bly animated, especially for fancy articles, which are obtainable at rather lower prices; but the demand from country jobbers is not quite so brisk as was anticipated, though more active than usual at the time of this year, The quantity of seasonable fabries in the market is ample, particularly of cotton, the production and impor- tations of which have greatly exceeded the wants of the trade, thongh these have been vastly augment- | ed. Hence cotton goods are depressed and favor pur- chasers. Woollens are less abundant, but not now in much request, and their former value is barely sustained. This languor in the price of manufactures operates as a check upon transactions, by inducing a belief among | buyers that seme considerable depreciation will yet take 2bat ultimately their net income will fall far behind the | ‘mount required to pay interest and even ordinary divi- Gends. It bas been found that the railroads of New Eng- dand have increased in cost more rapidly than in gross re- ceipts, In 1442, Massachusetts bad twelve railroads, ex- ending four hundred and sixty one miles within its lim- its, which had cost twenty millions of dollars. These roads were operated at an expense of 0.70 cents per mile, ‘The earnings were 1 47-100 cents per mile, loaving an in gome of 0.77 cents per mile. In 1847, there were in the State twenty-one railroads, extending seven hundred and Bighty-seven miles—cost forty.one millions of dollars expense of operating 0.76 cents per mile ; gross receipts 2.60-100 per mile, leaving an income of 0.74 cents per zuile, In 1862, there were thirty-six railroads in Massa husetts, extending eleven hundred and fifty miles.

This conviction may be correct as far a3 articles of a fanciful mature are concerned, but we have strong doubts of any material decline cccurring in prices of staple products, because these are comparatively too rare and too stiffly held to deteriorate much during | the ensuing month. Brown sheetings and shirtings are in fair supply and moderate request at declining rates, which, however, exhibit no actual falling off since the date of our last review.
