Temperance in the Niath Ward. A large and influential meeting was held on Monday evening, in Bleecker Building, pursuant to ‘he followicg call that appeared in the morning papers:— ‘Smart Rorrumsé Rois 1 Tas Nixts Warp ?—A public ‘lock, i ke fete Resin ‘be entine he I wale of liquor. ‘The meetuwg was called to order by the nomina- ‘tion of Jeremiah Tarbell, Esq, for President, who said that we should look to.God for assistance in all things, and desired that the proceedings of the evening should be opened with prayer, After prayer bad been offered by the Rev. Mr. Bustis, of the Methodist charch, the President said ‘was felt to be a disgrace to the ward. It was the first, and he hoped it would be the last, time that seach an event would happen. Mr. ©, C.

Resolved, That the practice of politicians, of ploying bullies to secure the nominations in the elections, has given this class of men an finence that threatens to overturn our institations, p make Jife ard property insecure, and to drive pital away from the city.

M. ‘The stock market opened and closed pretty flat to-day. In Erie Railroad considerable business was transacted: At the opening an advance was realized, but prices closed at a decline on those current yesterday. At the first Board, Minois Central Bonds advanced 2 per coat; New York Central Bonds, 1; Indiana Ooastruction Railroad 13; Miinois Ten per Cent Stock, 1. Jersey City Lota de- clined 34 per cent; Nicaragua Transit, <; New York Central Railroad, 3. With the exeeption of Erie, the Teading fancies were quite dull.

The recent may i “=e or ter ood that It possesses at present no other marketable value than that which it receives through the gambling oon, tracts of speculators, or the jobbing manwurres of brok ers. This is most certainly a cool prospect for the stock holders, and for all but holders of the first and second mortgage bends. The holders of the convertible and in. come bonds, and of the acceptances, will soon realize what we have so frequently predicted—a fatality which ‘they coukl never foresees, nor pause sufficiently long to permit themeelves to imagioe possible. After the adjournment of the baard, the following salen were made at auction by Simeon Draper:— $100,000 Harlem Railroad let mortgage, tat. added. .88 10 shares Commonwealth Fire Insuranc Co 126 do, 85 do. Suffolk Bank Ronte and Watertown Railr 8634 The suspension of the firm of Gilbert, Coe & Johosen ‘was announced to-d¢y. Rumors have been current for some days that this house was seriously embarrassed, but it was hoped they might work out of thoir difficulties. They had too big load to carry,@nd it broke them down, ‘The great depreciation in the railroad securities, which composed the assets of this concern, and the impossivil- ity of making them available, was the direct cause of this failure. The house has been connected with some of the largest railroad enterprises’of the day, and it has been compelled to carry large amounts of bonds and stocks, which, at present, are of no more value than 0 much brown paper. The senior partner of the house has been for some time in England, purchasing railroad iron and negotiating the sale of railroad bonds. This ia one of the most important failures that has occurred here this sea_ son, and it will serve to destroy the little remaining con- Many works partially con- structed must be much embarrassed by the derangement in their financial affairs, caused by the stoppage of this house, and serious losses to all engaged must be the re- fidence in railroad securities. sult, The steamship St. Louis, from this port for Havre to- day, carried out $383,388 11 in specie, being $239,188 11 more than that reported on Saturday last. r The Manhattan Company have declared # semi-annual dividend of four percent, and an extra dividend of the fame amount; the Bank of the Republic a semi-annual dividend of five per cent; the City Fire Insurance Com- pany eleven dollars per share; the New York Life In- surance and Trust Company five per cent; the Kenne- bec Company, of Augusta, Maine, a dividend of five dol- lars per share. ‘The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port to-day amounted to $189,446 23; $3,002 91—balance, 95,819,145 86.

The good debte are put down at $131,000, and the doubt(ul debts at $300,000. To pay off al the claims except the stock, there must be realized $90,000 from the doubtful debts. yments, The value of merchandise imported into this district during the month of July, in each of the past two years, ‘was as annexed:— Commmnce or THE Port or New York—Vatve oF Iurorrs.

The amount entered for ware- house in the month this year was $3,967,573, against $2,080,008 for the same month last year. At the meeting of the stockholders of the Harlem Rail- road Company, held to-day, a committee was appointed ‘to investigate the affairs of the concern, to report ata fatare mecting. Considerable confusion existed through” out the cession, and there appeared to be a strong oppo- sition to any immediate action in relation to the over- issued stock. A resolution passed authorising the direc- tors to place transfer books in the office of the United States Trust Co. This is a good move, as it places this department entirely beyond the control of tne officers of the company. We hope other companies will do likewise. ‘The stockholders of the Harlem Company appear to have an opinion of their own, andare not 80 easily led by the bosrd of directors as was anticipated. For some days past negotiations have been going on between the representatives of the different partios in. terested, for the purpose of arranging and adjusting the difficulties under which the Parker Vein Coal Company are now laboring. At present the concern ia literally defunct. Its mining operations have ceased, and ite moveable property in the hands of the assignoos ia ra- pidly depreciating. Something should be done at once, if possible, to save the company from complete wreck, and the probability is tha the negotiations now going on will result in a settlement that will give many of the stockholders @ll their stogk cast. Itappears that the whole issue of stock amounts to about 160,000 shares. It may be a little below that; bat we put down that figure. That is, 120,000 shares more than the charter allowed. The present indebtedness of the comonny is put down at $1,126,000, of which $850,€00 is reported to de due to 0. P. Jewett. The assets of the company con- sist of 90,000 shares of stock of the Caledonia Coal Jom- pany, and $274,000 of the bonds of the Parker Vein Steam. ship Co. It 1s, we believe, proposed that 0. P. Jewett’s claim against the Parker Vein Coal Co. be cancelled by the company’s assuming the 120,000 shares of stock. His claim being $650,000, would be equal to about five This will reduce the debt of the company to $475,000, to pay whieh it will have dollars per share for atock. the assets named above. What could be realized on the sale of Caledonia Coal stock and Parker Vein Steamship Company’s bonds might be applied to the liquidation of the company’s indebtedness; but how far they would go would be very difficult to tell. With good management they might prodnee enough to take up all claims against the Parker Vein Coal Company. In that event, the com- pany would have its coal lands, amounting to between six and seven thousand acres, clear of ail incumbranece, represented by 160,(00 sbares of stock. The nominal par value of this stock is $100 per share, but it would be ne- ceasary to reduce that, so that the original capital of $4,000,000 wonld exist. These propositions the new board of directors have bad some time under considera- tion; but whether they have arrived at any conclusion or not, we have not been informed. We have not one word of comment to make relative to the matter. These are the facta of the case, and we leave it for those interested to act as they may deem best under the circumstances. At present the company is in a very bad way, and the enormous capital involved is not only inective, but may become atterly worthless, Stock Exchange. $10000 IndState fs b3 98 5000 Th [ane e370 1000 70 10000 do. io 1 6000 do. 72 1000 NY CRW Bee 8436 1. erie. 86 2000 Py CHWLBS 99 O she EkstaeNY 93” 10 Pank North Amer 10 Metropolitan Uk, 101 5 Continental Rank 160 28 Pk of Commerce. 10416 | 10 Union Bank Berip 107 WOON Jersey ing Gog 434 Turspay, Augast 1. 5 Mieh Cen RR. . 60 Mich South RR.. 26 Mich So Con.... 150 do, 75 Nth Ind RR,, 51 N Ind Con, 960 Brie RR.. , 1864, 6387 a0 44, py 10 46} 100 Nic Tran 100 do. 200 a § 50 do. 60 do. ‘100 do. 400 Cumb Coai 200 do. 400 do. 10 N ¥ Cen 50 do. 62 ado 60 do. 50 do. $600 i 60 do, % 100 Reading Railroad 200 $adlovedeTeeGyes cerry TRADE REPORT, Aeums.—There were 60 dbis bought at anchanged rates.
