The complainant alleges that the assault was committed on the 18th day of September, while at sea. The accused came up from bebind him by the galley and strack him in the mock, asabove stated. Smith is also charged with stabbing Cousins come time previous, while he lay im his berth im the forecastle. The evidence against Smith was suficient to justify the Commissioner in committing him fo prison for trial. The Thompson Wiil Case. The Surrogate of the county of New York has deci ted ‘his important case, which has been pending for the lss3 ‘wo years.

Michigam Cen- tral acd Long Island are stationary at 1081¢ and 30, respectively. As will be seen elsewhere, the tendency of mining stocks is downwards. It must be borne in mind that within the last few weeks @ very large and general depreciation has taken place in stocks. This depreciation has not beon attend- ed with the usual eemsequences of a decline im stecks, vis,; failures in Wall street. The heavy losses which have been sustained have therefore net fallen on the brekers and regular operators. They have been mainly borne by outsiders. It may be safely assumed that four out of five of the outsiders,who are im the habit of taking » “flyer” im famey stocks, have lost money within the last few weeks. The natural consequence of this is the withdrawal of a large amount of capital from the board, and the confinersent of cperatioas te tho brokers and their immediate friends. This established, it fol lors paturally that whatever improvewenta take place ray be fairly ascribed to ® successfal “‘eorner” among the brokers, and must eventually give way and be suc- ceaced by & decline, Nicaragua, for 1estance, which now commands 2734, was sold seme time age below 21 Basapyihing taken place to which this rise of sume thirty per centean be attributed?
