Below will be found ap account of the werk sow geing on in the various ship yards around the city. ‘Bhe quastity of 2ew work in band has not been of be Itmited an amount for some time, and the business ig consequently rather dull. We could hear of no bew contracts, the high price of material and wages being assigned as the reason for builders declining at present entering into new engagements on the terms offering.

FALSE PRETENCBS—INGENIOUS METHOD OF SWIN- DLING COUNTRYMEN. For some time past severa) parties in this city have been carrying on an extensive game at swindling coun- trymen and others who might be unfortunate encugh to fall into their clutches, by inserting advertisements in the newspapers representing that the undersigned want- ed a number of clerks to do a light business, to be ea- gaged im travelling as agents for the employer. Security for the integrity and good conduct of the clerks was al- waye demanded, and they were compelled to leave fifty or » hundred collars with their emsloyer, or if they had not that amount of ready cash, their watch or other va- luables should be kept as security. The security being tafe in the hands of the advertisers, their dupes were directed to a certain estabfabment in Ann street, where they received a large case of antiquated novels and other book trash, worth at the most $10, and were sent off to Boston, Philadelphia and all the principal cities in thia State, to sell the same at a price about one thousand per cent more iham their actual value.

Thureday was one of the moet delightful days that we bave been biessed with for months, snd thou- sande of our pleasure seeking inhabitants went to Long Ieland to enjoy s ride and inhale the delicious breezes that waft over that much renowned loca lity, but more particularly to witness the great trotting matches that were to take place om that afternoon; and we have no doubt buf that nine- tenths of the vast multitude returned to their homes at night highty delighted with their day’s excur tice. * The trotting match at the Centreville Course, be- tween Ed. Eddy and Highland Maid, was announced to come off at 2 o’c lock precisely ; but it was near- ly three before the track could ve cleared of the vehicles crossing it, and the gates closed, and at that time not more than two-thirds of the crowd had gained admittance, and they continued pouring in until after the firet heat. On mounting the judges’ stand, the scene presented was pleasing in the ex- treme to a constant attendant of such evente. The track was in capital order for the sport, and the atmosphere delightfully suitable for the contest. A glance at the horses, however, took off great de gree of the pleasure anticipated. Eddy was lame In his near hind leg, on the fetlock joint, and High: iand Maid presented a pitiable a» pearance from the swollen condition of her fore legs—her arms being at least twice their natural size, and her knees pro- truded so far that they nearly met. ‘They never will attempt to trot ber in that condition,” was the remark of nearly all who approached her; but they were told that the match was play or pay, and that trot she must, win or lose. There appeared very little chance for ber winning, and the betting began at one hundred to twenty on Eddy, and closed at one hundred to ten. There was, however, very little money posted on the result. As there has been much speculation about the pedigree of these famous horses, we will endeavor to set the matter right as far as regards Highland Maid; but of Eddy, nothing can be ascertained of Ins lineage farther than that he was raised in this State, somewhere near Albany, and after changing bands several times was lately purchased by Mr. Griffiths, of Philadelphia, for $5,500. He is, how- ever, evidently deep in the blood, and is of some eminent femily of horses. Highland Maid was bred by Joshua Conklin, of Goshen, Orange county, in this State. She was got by Sahram; he by Kentucky Whip, bred by Col. Blackburn of Kentucky, and he by Cook’s or Blackburn’s Whip; he by imported Saltram, and he by O’Kelly’s English Eclipse, Kentucky Whip’s dam was by imported Buzzard; Saltram’s dam was by Sea Gull; he by Duroc, the sire of American Eclipse; he by Diomede, and he by Grey Diomede. Highland Maid’s dam was Roxana, got by Hickory Boy, bred by Frederick Dalson, of Orange county, got by Wesson’s Hickory, he by Old Hickory, and he by imported Whip. Highland Maid is probably the fastest trotting nag in the world; yet in all her matches she has won but one—with Lady Vernon. Flora Temple beat her twise, to Wagons and harnese; and this is the second time that Eddy has defeated her. She lost her last two races by the imprudence of her owner in allowing ber to be timed a few days previous to her first match with Ediy. She showed on that cccasion faster time than was ever before seen; but in the performance she met with the accident that cansed her defeat in the subsequent races. She should be allowed to get perfectly well before she is speeded again, or probably she will be injured forever. ° THE RACE. First Heat—Eddy won the pole. He took the lead assoon as the word was given, Highland Maid being unable to speed with him around the upper turn, from the eplargement of her knees. She, however, was within a length of him as he passed the quarter pe thirty-eight seconds. Going down the ckstretch the mare trotted faater, and forced Bad: alcng at the vy; of kis aged. He reached the half mile pole in 1:143, and then broke up. The mare now took the lead and epee & gap of two or three lengtbe; when, coming to the lower turn, she began to strike her knees 2, }, and consequently reduce her speed. Mr. Nodine, her driver, managed to keep ber from breaking all the way around the tarn; but she had strack berseif so often and s0 severel, that she at length broke up on the homestretch, ani Eedy passed her and came home a winner by twenty yarcs, making the heat in 2:343. The maro’s knees were bleeding when she came to the score, and more enlarged from the frequent blows they had received on the turns. It was evident that she had more speed than Eddy in straight work; bu; the difficulty in making the tuins ‘would beat her. Second Heat.—The horses came to the score with their heads parallel, and were started; but as soon as the mare came to the turn she began to fall off, and it was painful to see her straggli§ to keep up with the gray. She, however, was at his wheel at the quarter pole—time, thirty-nine seconde—and she lay there down the bac! itch in spite of Bddy’s endeavors to get ai from her. She lapped h'm at the half mile pole, in 1:16; and, getting around the lower turn better than before, yoked him, and awvng cn the homestretch head and head with him. The excitement was now intense, and the crowd rushed on the track to closely observe every step of the horses as they came up the stretch. ckers laid were in high glee, believing that as the mare bad got around the tarn even with the lg rg weela be able to keep her feet, and e at score. Hiram and Nodine were using all thetr ski!] to forth a trifle more speed —it wanted but little; neither of the nags seemed to have it, and they came on head and head until they 1 the drawgate. But there, the mare being again urged she struck her knees se- verely, on oke 0} peat by th Cy four lengths, in 2:35}, e ree or four * fe Third Heat.—In scoring for eF , but she seemed of extending herself on tarns, even could she have done so, from the impediments on her lege. sbove race being over, there was a universs sh to get from the Course, and be off to the Union witness the race between Flora Temple and Mac; to but with the crowding at the gates, in the endeavor to 4 through first, passages became cheked, and it took it an hour to clear the track of all the vehicles, UNION COURSE, 1. I—TROTTING. When our reporter reached the Union Course the stonds and field presented a lively appearance, and the horses were on the track warming up for the race. The financiers were in groups, piling up the “stuff,” as they call it, at one hundred to thirty on Flora Temple. Mas stock was in little demand, the sppearance of his legs deterring many from backing him. His off hind leg was bandaged to the hock in red flannel; and although many kuew that he had trotted in 2:27 ina private trial, a few days before, they were not willing to risk much ona game leg. Harry Jones was driving him without a collar > breast strap, and witbout traces, which wasthought by the crowd rather an unusval if not an unwise manner of Ltt horse to the pist for such an im it match; hence the long odds on Flora. st Heat.—Mac won the pole, but Flora took it from bim before he got around the upper turn, having broken up soon after the score. She war four or five lengths atead at the quarter pole in thirty-eight seconds, snd, going Raaiy, reached the half in 1:15}. Mac broke Up a second time on the backstretch, and it was it that Harry Jones had not strength enough to-hold him downto his work, He labored hard, without avail. Flora won the heat by half a dozen lengths, in 2:31}. Second Heat.—Mr. Jones asked 1). Pfifer to drive Mac the rema'nder of the race, and see if he could menege him any better. The horses were started nicely, Flora leading sround the turn; but Mac ae Ler at the quaiter pole, in thirty seven and a elf seconds, and they went down the backstretch | side and side until near the half mile pole, when Mac broke up, and leat, a couple of lengths; time, 1:15. Mac made a gallant brush after he recovered, and nearly overtook the little mare, when, breakior at the drawgate, he fel behind, ana she won by three or fyur lengths, in 2:32.

A meeting of the friends and members of the | American Baptist Home Mission Society, who are | opposed to its location in the new marble building in Naseau street, was held on Friday evening in Dr. Cone’s church, Broome street. Dr. Cone presided, and the proceedings were commenced with prayer by Rey. Dr. Baker of Williamsburg, and with the singing of the 1,138th hymn by the audience. After & few remarks from Rey. Dr. Cone, the commitice appointed at o former meeting to take into con- iceration the present condition of home missions, made the following report :— ‘Whereas, it appears from satisfactory evidence— 1. Thata removal of the American Baptist Home Mis- tion Board from its present location im Broome street was unnecessary: 2. Yhat when thst location was objected to, o1 count of its connection with a Bible Union Church, the | Ae erat of Bible Union men to have the Home ission Board removed to an incependent location, was feir and hovorable in respect to themselres, while it was peaceful and otherwise high'y judicious in respect to the interests of the home mission cause: 3. Phat the project of locating the Home Mission Board in the house of the American and Foreign Bible society, has from we beginning aamumed the sbarscter of « par: tisam measure, being pied if not desigaed to Bible controversy into the Home Mission So sie render the most disastrous division of that evitable. 4. Tost the measures which have been resorted to, and the spiritin which those measures have been prose- cuted, to carry out the project of remov:] to Nassau street, involve the most unwarrantable disrespect for ‘the conscientious victions and sound judgment of good and wise men the old and lideral patrons of the Americen Baptis' me Mission Society, and th most crue} proscription of at least a vary large parti of the Baptist denomination— a pros:ription which, if persisted in, must result in permanent alienations of feeling, and painful separations in respect to all venevo~ Tent ection. 6. ‘het the resolution of the Home Mission Board, desiding to remove to Nassan s'reet, was paased by a vote of four een to five, in the face ‘postulations and remonstrances, argume: and entreaties, petitions and protests, from a large ber of members and directors of the home Mission it 6. That the minority of that Board, and other friends of an independent location, have acted wisely in striving to avert the disastrous consequences of guch @ prostitu- tion of the Home Mission Society to partizan purposes; and that little, if anything, more remains for them to do Dut to seek for a reversion of this action at the "8 next anniversary, or to enter uw & new org: jon for the prosecution of heme missions on the moet ¢ff- cient and economical platform. 7. That numerous patrons of the Home MissionSociety are now withholding their funds for that object, on ac- count of this removal to Nassau street, which are liable to be diverted from that worthy cause :— Therefore be it resolved, by this convention of the friends of home missions, 1. ‘That weeannot countenance the remcval of the Eome Mission Board into the house of the American and Foreign Bible Socisty, under existing cizeumstences. 2. ‘hat we respectfully but earnestly entreat the Beard to reconsider their action in this either remain in their present location till next anniversary, or to procure an independe: in pursuance of the Soziety’s instruc ‘ions in Troy. That we appeal to the Society, in view of its own ace and cestainess; and in view of all that is dear to ristian hearts in the glory of God, and the bappi of men, as connected with the honor of the Cnri ebureh, snd vation of souls, to reverse the astion of removal to Nassau street in favor of an independent location. 4 That in care the Board do actually become a tenant ef the American and Foreign Bible “ociety in Naseau street, and that proceeding is sanctioned by the Home Mitsion Society at ite next anniversery, we now see no other reasonable alternative in the exee bat the imme- diate and permarent organization of a Home Mission Union, which may be conducted independent of ail par- titan influences. 5. That we now proceed to appoiat a provisional committee, to consist of seven members of Baptist churches, whose seat of action shall be in the city of New York, and whose duty it shail be to correspond pri vately, or through the prese, with individuals, charches, astociations and conventions, wich re‘erence to the col- Jection ana disburrement of hotce mission funds, the or- geviration of @ new society, and the general subject of our home mission adairs; to receiv: to hold, rd: ing to the direetion of donore, or their own jadgment, such funds as way come ito their bends tor mics ad bg whether by solicitation or otherwise; to jurse euch funds, sccording to the direct: spective donors, or if not directed by them, ac their own best judgment, making their appro $8 far as practicable, through the churches, a er conventiong, on the mission feid; to p stitution, such as they shall deem best adapted to a home mission unien, according to the views most gene raliy held by the Baptists of the United Stat ing the divine methods of Christian missions; 6: call a convention of a!l who are friendly to this object, to be held in the city of Chicago, Iinoia,or in any place which they shell Ceem mere tuitable, as soon as con venient after the anciversary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society in May next. THOMAS ARMITAGE, JMéS EDMUNDS, 0. B JUDD. Te B con: Addresses were made by Rev. Dr. 0. B. Judi, Rev. C. Morton, Rev. P. F. Jones and’ Rev.

MONEY MARKET. Sunpay, Oct 8-6 P.M. ‘The week just closed hes been the dulles: we hyve known in Wall etreet for many yeare. There were 0» operators on ettber side of the house, but prices have been unuruslly steady. In ordinary times we should have realized a steady depreciction in market value in the face of euch stagnation ; but os this vity ie the flect of & long period of depression in prices, it only thows that we bave fairly torched bottom, and cannot ‘Weil get much deeper. Nesrly all the leading specula- live stocks have not varied one per cent during the past week, showing extraordinary steadiners for the timer, and a disposition and strength on the part of hollere of the most favorable character. It is indicativeof the geod time coming all bave #0 antiously Jooked for. Read ing Railroad has moved up and down with greater fasili- ty than usual, end has fluctuated more largely than any other stock on the list. This has been attributed to the euspecsion of heavy operators in Philadelphia, but it may have been caused partislly by the too rapid rise in the esrly partof the week. There ie nothing in the po sition and prospect of the market worth noticing. It will be some time before there will be any movement of coprequence, but we think any further decline in prices of consequence is entirely out of the question. Acon traction of any importance on the pzrt of the banke,- cansed by a greater drain of spesie for shipment than anti- cipated, would without doubt depress the market value of stocks, but we Co not believe in an exportation to that ex tent. Within the past day or twd the money market bas become a little more stringent, in anticipation of an un- favorable bank report on Monday next. Jt is the ceneral impression that it will show s decrease of more than & million of dollars in the specie départment. This would reduce the segregate to the old average. The two C fornia stexmers now nearly due have been out twenty two dayr, and will probebly be here early in the week at oll events in time for the bank statement for the week ending Saturday next. If the usual remittence of two | million is received, it will bring the tanke up again near: | ly to the highest etandard, After the oext thirty or rixty days, the money market murt be much easier, By that time eterling exchange will be xoore abancant and | at lowey rater. Whetever tence to eryert the gutward ' 4 of specie, operates directly gor the relief of the present stringency in the money market, and ve know of nothing calculated to act so effectually ss an increase m our supply of sterling exchange. As cotton g0es forward from Southern ports, we shall bs able to hold on te more of our California goli, and a# soon as an accumulation commences, all the fears now entertained will dicappear In the meantime contraction in indivi dual habilities is going on rapidly and steadily, and every interest is getting into « strong and healthy condition. The outward movement of specie last week was not so heavy as anticipated, as will be seen by the annexed statement :— Smrwexts oF Srects rrom rae Port or New York.

Mr. A. H. Nicolay’s regular semi-weekly auction «ale of stock and bonds will take place on Monday, at 1234 o’closk, at thé Merchants’ Exchange. In his list is a lot of 4,700 rhares of McCulloch Gold Mining stock. ‘This is hypothecated stock, and will be sold perempto. rily to the highest bidder.

For the firet time this year the importations last week were considerably below, in value, the exportations for the eame time.
