Ruip, of the Methodist Church, proposed the following:— Resolved, That the reports now read be adopted a printed under the direction of the Board. ie cs Mr, Rew made a few remarks in support of this resolu tion. Ho regretted the absence of the gen‘leman [Rev. Mr. Coox] who should have performed this duty, and was happy to bea: his testimony to the efficasy of the Society. He was glad that the report was to be published, as it | would call the attention of others to this great work. A | chief recommendation of this Society was the fast that it | made the churo. more sctive; and Christianity would die if notactive. The persons ergaged in distributing trac's fir were themrelves benefitted as much as they benefitted others. The resolution hymn 145, book 2 Rev, TARODOKE was then adopted. The choir sang the Ccram addressed the audience, and Plead for the poor people of this sity, who could not plead for them: There were many | and meny of these persons in this city, and there was ample room for work amongst them.

It was truly ® Christian mission, and was especially for the benefit of those whom Christ especially came to save. Its scope was wite; it reached every where—to the eighteen thousand New Yorkers who, we aare told, live under ground—and so down to the Jowent in society. The ward miss'ovaries also did mush good im the physical relief of the poor. Woman had her right to participate in this movement. and was much more able to do good than men, He made a stirriog ap- for more visiters, and said that for every church in low York there were not over three or four visiters, and each one cou'd easily send a score, He thought that if any person felt his or her piety rusning down he should advise them to go to the becside of some sick sinner, with the loaf for the body in one hand and the Bible im the other. The prayer would be different after that, and the communion teble would be approached with diferent ings. The speaker advo-ated the iavestment of funds dit be lucrative to the investor.

K. Duer, U. 5. Navy. ‘The resignation of Mr. Pierrepont, as trustee, was re- ceived and scopted. ‘The Rev. Dr. Hawks, secretary, made some remarks in reference to Mr. Forbe’s pamphlet, respecting the dis- eovery of land in the Arctic regioas—in the northern point of Wellington Channel. The discovery was made by American officers in 1850, and it was ealled “Grin nell’s land;”” but in 1861 Captain Parry, of the British service, was driven on it on Prince Alber\’s birthday, and not knowing that it had been previously diseovered, called it Prince Albert’s and, Mr. Force is desireus of asserting the claim of Americans to the first discovery of that land. He, Dr. Hawks, believed that unless every gentlemanon board the American ships which made the discovery were guilty of falsehood, the British ship did not come in sight of that land for some months after the discovery mace by Americans.

Capt. Walter M. Gibson was, after the usual business of the evening, introduced by the Rev. Dr. Hawkes to the society, and ‘the President, Mr. Bancroft, weloomed him, and invited him to take a seat at the table. The Rev. Dr. Hawkes explained that Capt Gibson had not ared before them to read any paper or make any ; he would, however, request Captain Gib to the society portions of conversations he had bad pleasure of having with him is reference to the eastern Archipelago.

T0 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD, T appeal to your sense of justice to correct the unfavor- able impression produced by your article of Tuesday last, in respect to the Broadway railroad, feeling sure that it was written under a misapprebension of facts. The reso- lation which bas beem patred by the Com non Council end which is now before the Mayor fer his action, gives the assent of the city to the cocstruction of the roalupoa the terms, conditions and restrictions which may bs {m- posed by the Commrn Counctl from time to time. Be- ides, the act of the Jatare under whish the company in formed, reserves to Legislature the right to reduce the fare +0 a8 to bring the profits to ten per cent. Now, if railroad in Broadway is a good thing, as mont people elieve, what more would you have to be stipulated in favor of the city? The next Common Council may tax each car five thousend dollars if they see Gt, and may re- duce the fare toone cent if it should please them to do #0, end therefore the city and the public may receive every acvantege which they in reasom and justice ought to have, Add to all this, that the consluding sentence of fie en, Geclares bap Arti io it tae orn trued to grant an exclusive priv: beyond that authorized by the act of the Tegitiature Now Jet we ack in all cander what ground there js in thin for Imputing to ms Ot my dasoclates, and to the Giiti ton Council any He) oa moti’e, or any neglect ef the interes‘s of the city?

Why sir, if it should please the reform Common Council to require the company to pay into the city trea- aury one, two, or three cents for each passenger, the oom pany would be obliged ‘0 comply with the requisition, e kon dors not seem to aware of the affect of Judge Duer's late deciviom.

Three points were made, viz.:—Ist. That the con- stitution does not authorise the submission to the people of apy act for their approval or disapproval, except in tpecific cases. 24, That the constitution expressly for- bids the passage of any law granting licenses for the sale of intoxicating liquors, &c. 3d. Tuat the constitution guarantees the right of trial by jury in all penal cases, Upon these points Justice Bagg decided that the new liquor law is unconstitutional, and thereupon dismissed the complaint.

MONEY MARKE?T. Fripay, Deo, 16—6 P. M. The foreign news has had s bad effect on the stock market. All the fancies were down at the first board to dey, and we notice a great insrease in the amount of operations. Stocks were crowded on the market, and freely offered at the decline. But for the shorts, a greater depreciation would have been realized. Within the past week the market value of the leading farcies has fallen sufficient to give sellers » good margin in their favor, and many have wisely availed themselves of the decline, and realized. Delaware and Hudson fe'l ef at the first board to-day 14 per cent; Canton Company, 1; Nicaragua Transit, 34; Cumberland Coal, 1{; Phoaix Coal, 1; New Jersey Zinc, +s; New York Central Railroad, 34; Hudson Railroad, 1; Stonington, 1; Herlem, 34; Erle Railroad, 3{; Norwich and Worcester, 1; Reading Rail- road, %; Michigan Central Railroad, 34. Railroad bonds were quite plenty in the market, and sales were made at a fraction below prices previously current. The bear in- terest in Wall street is daily increasing, and it will con tlaue so long as the demand is confined to such ® limited circle, The most promi nent speculators at the board entirely cleaned out of stocks, It is stated that fency stocks were never better distributed among outsiders than at this moment. If so, it issnother argument in favor of lower prices. If outsidersare fall, they are not in a con- dition to purshase any more; and if the brokers are cleaned out they are not so green as to purchase at pre- rent prices, It is the policy o’ the regular icside s«peou- lators of Wallstreet to depress prices, ‘o that they can come in upon more favorable terms, in aaticipation of the usual spring rise, Outsiders alone are powerless, They will have to sell at a sucrifica, if they realize, and they cannot calculate upon any aidfrom the brokers to help them out of the s:srape. The bear influence is likely to increase until the object aimed at is accomplish+d; and judging from the appearance of the market to-day, we at ould think the shorta were in a fair way of carrying their poit. We are not, however, disposed to believe that the fancies are li distributed as reported, and it matters little whether they are or not It has for tome time past bren our opinion that outsiders were small holders, that they were compelled to realize at eaormous sacrifices scon after the recent stringency in the money market commenced, and they hat ither had the means or the disposition to come in again. This must be ‘as fatal to any improvement in prices as though it was just the reverre, After the adjournment of the board, the following sales of stocks were made at auction by Simeon Draper:— $30,0C0 Attica and Allegany lst mort, TB ieee eee BS 6,000 Michigan S.

As long as the great com. panies were prosperous, the confidence of the blders of stoek was proper and reasonable enough ; but vhen the day of reverses came, with i: would have come, we should hive Seouatt, increased vigilance and terdily awakened jealousy. Has this been the case? A glance at the eveats of the last half-dozen y: will show that the share- holders bave been plan with their eyes open— they bave endorsed every kind of fo'ly with alacrity, thus, inrtead of taking the management of their o property into their own hands, they have allowed a nu ber of gentlemen, styled directors, to do what they like with it, to manage it in a way in which w parcel of pso- ple broke loose from Bedlam might be supposed to ma- by any estate of which they obtained possession. in this country we are accustomed to pay becoming re- spect to station, and, ss many of the directors in the lead- ing companies were Persons of raark and ttle, a confidence wascreated in such persons which experience has not justified. We have seem ere this men of standing lend themeelven, for the mere purpose of money making, t> very questionable speculations, and the records of tha Pclice Courts show how gigantic swindles in the shape of assurances offices have been got up, with nothing to re- commend them but the addresses of a few men of title. The seme Impalses which influence other men naturally work upon those who are said to be bora with silver spoon in their mouth, and it is the part of pruience, we Ey rehend, to judge of a policy by its results, a test which show how very unwisely the great body of railway direotors in this country have played their parts. We would not wish to be understood as at ributing dis- honesty of purpose to the great body of railroad direstora, ‘amoxgit whom, mixture of good of = railway compan: amount of stock, which is some, which he would naturally be supposed to ta’ company. But the temptations to extravagance are eon- siderably increased when he kaows that he has a heavy joint stock pares at his back, and that, in the if jee, the loss which may acerne wili be ty himeelf than upon others ; for he csn avail himself of the information which hi position commands, and can go into the market at the most fitting oocasion to sell or to buy, and thus either break his fall or add to his resources, just as the ruling price of the market may deter- mine, The best of us are but the creatures of imita ion, Cften unconsciously carried out, and the success which such ® speculator as Mr. Hudson attained was sure to find plenty of followers; and, as in most such cases, those who were bold enough cr reckless enouch to tread in the footsteps of one whom fortune had apparently taken un- der her wing, would, in almost every instance, “ better ‘he instruction.’? It is pleasing, therefore, to find that the days of rail way infallibility are drawing to a clos + men who are shrewd enough in everything else have at length become too shrewd to en'rust their prop: rty to those w20 have shows such inaptitude for management.
