One of the most destructive fires that ever visited our city broke out on Saturday night, about half-past 6 o'clock, in Robert Getty’s Cineinnatijsteam bakery, on the corner of Baum 3 alleys, between Front and Columbia, and Sycamore and Main streets. The fire ori- ginated from one ¢f the bake-ovens in the second story, and spread with such rapidity that before,the arrivalof any of the fire apparatus, the entire building, five stories high, was demolished.

Holders ‘of fancy stocks are again in the ascendancy, ‘There was an advance to-day in nearly every fancy in the list, with transactions to a considerable extent. We do not observe any particular improvement in the money market, but there is evidently more confidence in the future, and a growing disposition on the part of capitalists to purchase at the depreciation in prices. Railroad bonds were freely offered to-day, andas freely taken. Erie, Hud- son River, and New York Central Bonds were the princi pal kinds offered. Bank stocks were pressing for sale, and shares of some of the most prominent banks in Wall street were sold, All these which have ruled at very high premiums are gradually settling down to par, while others, which have been well managed, but of more re cent organization, are steadily advancing to par. The revulsion in the stock market has nearly wiped out the swarms of miniag companies which have been so rapidly manufactured within the past two years. The most pro- minent of those now in the market are caily operated in at the regular board of brokers. The New Jersey Zine, Pennaylvania Zinc, Potosi Lead, McCulloch Gold, and Gold Hill, daily find purchasers at current rates, showing outsiders have confidence in them.

All others remain without change, with an upward tendency, How long this improvement will be sustained isa question for purchasers to consider. In some instances it may be permanont, but as a general thing it cannot but be temporary. A reaction after such a great decline is natural. Speculators, however, are apt to lock upon it as @ permanent movement, and operate accordingly. It is dangerous to trust any favorable change unless real, lona-fide, substantial reasons exist why it should oceur, We see no cause for the present advance in prices, for worthless fancy stocks, other than that before alluded to. It must be borne in mind that we have before usa long, dull season, when speculation is usually quiet. At the Mining Board to-day the transactions were as follows :— 800 shs Deep River C1.b30 55 200 shs Gold Hill 200 Conrad Hill.,........ 1 100 do.. % 200 do... 88, 1 100 do.. add 4 100 do, ‘reg 1 860 Ulster Mining Co... 24 The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer at this port to-day, amounted to $122,131 72; payments, $221,218 59—balance, $7,859,116 28. The news from California by the steamship Mexico at New Orleans from Vera Cruz, and the steamship Northern Light at Norfolk from San Juan de Nicaragua, is two weeks later. The commercial accounts are favorable, and the intelligence relative to mining operations en- couraging, The shipments of gold from San Francisco on the 80th of September by the Nicaragua and Panama steamers, amounted to about three millions of dellars. The reports in cirqulation in relation to an arbitration between C. Vanderbilt and the Nicaragua Transit Compa- ny, and that bonds had been signed, &c., we are arsured upon good authority are entirely untrue. A copy of the ac- counts, we understand, has been placed in the hands of the Transit Company, showing a large balance due Mr. C. Vanderbilt, to recover which he will unquestionably re- sort forthwith to such legal remedies as are at his dispo- sal. We think it behooves the stockholders to look after their interests. It is not surprising that the Central Railroad Company should be compelled to disappoint “the stockholders of a good fat dividend, when we look into the very peculiar organization whereby a capital of $26,000,000 in stock ‘was created, covered with a debtof $8,000,000 in six per cent bonds, Those bonds are constantly falling in prices, the last sale having been at 91 per cent, and should a Jarge paiopat be forced on the market, which must +6880 334 . BY er later happen, they would cemmand no more than fifty or sixty per cent. These bonds appear aes lien on the entire property, censequenuy are considered goodif there be any value in the road. provided there be no oom- petition lines constructed, but a certain cont may arise touching the legality of the issue, that would oake them nearly worthless. re i alse « wide margin for depreciation in the stock. In order to comprehend the true prospect of & very serious decline, we have only to look to the fall in the stock of the Baltimore and Ohio ad Company. That stock has sold at 95 per cent, It is now selling at 42 © 43 per cent. That the stock of a Com: ‘almost as much business as the New York Onatral; and whore road rons to the centre of the richest section of the country, should suffer such an enormous depreciation, is not 80 as the fact that the Central stock ix so well maintained. One of these days all the inconsis- tencies will be regulated. Steck Exe le Wanwiapay, Oct, 26. 1853. $1000 US 6's, ’67..83.12234 200 sha Par V'n Coal.s3 113% 1000 Ind.
