# classtonl eduoation, studied low, God on bang eduit- bed as a counsellor and attorney, besame connected in ‘he law bosivess with John L. Graham, Esq, of this Bity. 4s @ politician, he took sides with the democratic party, and supported the adm/nistrations of Jactson and Wan Busen until the question of the sub treasury was mgitated, when he becam» one of th; party of conserra- fives who co-operated with the whigs in the election of Hirrisoa aod Tyler, When the Court of Sessions was reorganized under the administration of Governor Seward, Mr. Sandford wae appointed one of the Judges of that court, bat declined the office. For acme years past he has acted with the do- mocratic party, but has not been conspicuous in poli- Rica. Like his talented brother. the late Judge Pand- Zord, be has made the profession of the law his favorit? Mtudy, and has succeeded in obtaining position in the cont rank of that arduous profession. As an advocate pnd counsellor he had but few superiors among the law- yers ot his own age, and as # scholar and accomplished smritor for the proas but £ xcelled hin im eloquence nd 6 profound knowlecge of belles lettres, classical Baste, and political history. 40a gentioman highly es- Qeomed for his social qualities and excellent private cha- Tacter, with a fair prospect of usefulness and a brilliant ®areer before him, Mr. Sandford bas probably been out Off in the prime of life, in the most painful manner, by the dispensation of a mysterious Providence, leay. fing « large circle of friends to mourn his less mod to weep over his untimely end. Mr. Sand- Tord sailed in the packet abip Mercury, of the Havre Hize, on the second of July last, with bis wife and gix children, the eldest of whom is about 17 yeags of mgt. He lef: his wifeand chiliren in Paris, where he Shad lensed » house for three years, for the purpose of giving bis childen a continental education. On the woynge to Europe the shio Meroury encountered an ice- berg, which seriously injured that vessel and en gered the lives of the passengers. The last suit in which Mr. Ssndford was engaged in our courts he was asso Dilated with the late N. B Blunt, and took leave of him 8 gp court, on bis departure for Europe. A rather sirgular circumstance connected with the Receased, is that a friend bed avsigned to him his pas Bage in the Arctic. That friend, from the whim of the Moment, and after he had secured his paseage, took s Yancy for ancther steamer—thus innocently and won- Yerfully saving bis own life. Truly the ways of Provi- Genes are mysterious, Asxen Buxsvicr, Feq., who, with bis wife, is supposed fo have perished in the Arctic, was also a prominent Jawyor of this city, and was on his return from a brie pxcurson in Europe, for reereation from the actire busi- pees life which he led in this city. He was a native of Dornectiout, and a member of one of the oldest families of Bhat Stete. Fras‘naC Benedict, Esq., well known asa lawyer of this city, and President of the Board of Edu ation, we believe is his brother, and among the nume. Yous relatives who it is feared will be called upon to la. qwent his loss in the meridian of life. Mr Carsenwoon, the distinguished artist, was also on board of the Arctic, on his recura from a brief visit to Bagland on private busivess, aad is probably among Shose who were consigned to a watery grave. Mr. Cath ®rwood will be roc Mected as the artist who painted the Peautiful panoramas of Jerosslem,Lima, and other cities, which were exhibited here rome years since; also, aa the Sompanion of the orlebrated traveller John L. Stephens, pn his visit to the ruias of Palenque ia Mexico, and sub- nequontly to Central Ameri Amovg those whose untimely end excited universa; mympathy, were the family of our enterprising fellow witizen, Edward K. Collins, Feq., iscluded in which was Mrs. KK. Collins, a indy universally respected and es- deemed by all who knew her. She hed been on a visit io Europe in company with her son and daughter, also ber brother and bis wife. ‘The son, Mr. Coit Collins, was young man of unusual promise, sud much belov-d by wil who knew him. His education had been thorough and practical for his gears, and had he been spaced, there is xo doubt that hhis success in life would have conferred honor on his family and bis country. Miss M. A Collins was the only daughter of Mr. Col- Hine, acd a young lady of the most amiable disposition pod of the most pleasing manners. All whose heppi necs it was to evjoy her acquaintance, never failed te mpeak of her in terms of adairation. She was a young Jady who fully deserved the doting fondness of kind pnd indulgent paren:s. Mrs E. K. Collins’s maiden name was Miss Woodruff, nnd che was at the time of the catastrophe accompanied by her brother, Mr. Woodraff, and his young and inter- Dstlug wife, both of whom are raid to have perished. Mr. Woodruff (with his brother) has a house est sblianed Jn New Orleans. The brother, who resides in New Or- ‘Jeans, has but recently reached here on visit, and was waiting to meet bis relatives on the Arctic. The blow haa proved a very heavy one to him. He is weil known gud much respected by tho business commanity, who deeply eympathise with him. Sincere regret and sympathy were expressed for the fed Ices of the young members of the families of Messrs. Brown. These included Mr. W. B. Brown, Jady and infant, returning'from Liverpool, son of Mr. James Brown, of the well known firm of Messrs. Brown Bicthers here, and Brown, Shipley & Co. Mr. Brown had mot been married over # year or two, andas wellas we yeoollect, married a lady of the Howland family. With ur. Brown. Jr.'s family, perished Miss Maria Brown, his Bister, end also another sister, Mrs. Allen, wife of Mr. G.F. Allen, and her infant, of New York. All these persons, in the prime of youth, end in brilliant hopes and prospects of the future, have been suddenly pwept into eternity, and have left @ void in their Jamily circles which can never bs filled. Mr. Asaph Stone, » well known citizen apd retired im porting mrrehant, of this city, was lost. He formerly en- @ueted Lis business in Exchange glace, where it is con- Zinued by bia son. He had been to Europe, sccompa- nied by his wife and daughter, and was on his return home, when all of them perished together. ‘their melancholy fate is lamanted by all who knew them. Mr. Petrie and lady ‘also perished. Mr. P. was es young meechant, and was engaged in the cotton broker- ‘age busiccss, Of late years he has resided in Paris, and was on his way with his lady to visit the United Btates. Mr, Mahlon Day and daughter belonged to the Society of Friends. He .bad been engaged in the stationery Purines: in this city, and was much respected. He Is @aid to have perished. J.G. Smith, Faq was a retired merchsnt, of this city, whe was returping {rom Europe with bis daugh. | ter; both were lost. His son a few weeks since fell Mhrougha store hatchway, and was fatally injured. Af- brethren are known to have been in the Arctic, and ter Lingering « few days in a deranged state of mind, he expired, and hin body was kept for some days to await tte return of Bis fether and his sister before barial, god was interred last Sunday. Samuel M. Woodruff, Eaq., was a highly respectable wvrjer in this city, whose cffice was in Hanover square. Nhen be went to Europe he left his wife and child with pis (nther in law, Mr. De Forest, who hed bees for some Amo snriously expecting his return. He was the Dro: | go: of public duty.

THE EFFECT OF THE NEWS UPON OUR CITIZENS. ‘The sad news of the lossof the Arctic and the buris! of se many of owp most esteemed citizens in the middle of the ocean, has caste profound gloom over our entire city. ‘The fiegs yesterday waved at half mast through out the metropolis, upon all the public buildings and hotels, as also upon the shipping in theharbor. Of all the melancholy events we have ever been called upen to chronicle, nore have fallen so heavily upon our population as this. The office of Mr. Collins, at No. 66 W: Il street, was yesterday erowded with anxious visiters from carly | in the mornmg till the place was closed in the afternoon. All who wished to hear of relatives or friends called there as the most likely place to learn the fate of those for whom they hoped even against hope. It was a sad gathering of gricf-stricken citizens, amcng whom were fathers, brothers and sons, tremulously waiting for intelligence which would either give the death blow to all hope itself, or give bask again all the buoyancy of life, by the promised restoration of the lost. How often during the day was asked of the attendants in the counting room of Mr. Collins ‘Have you auy news of my brothert’” “Do you think my son is safe!” ‘Have you seen any of the passengers who could likely tell me of the affair, aad | give me intelligence of my father”? How many, with | tence in their eyes, grasped the hands ef friends, and the inquiry was exchanged, ‘Who of your friends were on board’ and “Who of yours?” It seemed as if every- | body bad etther relations or acquaintances on board the iL-fated steamer. As each report came in of the pas- | sengers beard from as safe, it was sad picture to see | the eagerness with which all turned their ears to hear the report read, and the faces lighten up with satisfaction and relief as the wished for namo fell from the lips of | the reader, ome, upon receiving the intelligence of & | Tescue of the supposed lost, were at once engaged ia | receiving the congratulations of those about them; | others turned around to offer condolence and mingle | sympathy with the rest, for whom had come no such | happy tid'ngs; and others, again, in haste rushed from the building, to circulate the report among friends in the counting-houge, or to carry it to mourning families at home, Wherever this intelligence came, it was like the news of a resurrection from the desd. Notwithstanding in all hcpe flickereé dimly, even at the grave, yet the catas- tropbe was so appalling, and the chances of a rescue so few, that each was filled with the greatest fears, and all were alike prepared for the worst, though continually hoping for the best. Not ouly in the office of the Ocoan Steam Company, but in all places, were the rame evidences that some hea- | vy blow had fallen upoo the heart; and, crashing out what waa light and peaceful, bad placed the barden of sorrow there. Upon street corners, along the streets, | He was seen on board the Arctic a fow moments before | | death of Mr. 8 being confirmed by this news— | eafety of E¢ward Sandford, Erq., and ether members of the New York bar, who were known te bave been on board. et the time of the colligion, The rumor of the Mr. 8.

A.J. Vanprrrom., Esq, seconded the motion in feel- ing and appropriate terms, and fully coincided with all the learned counsel had said im regard to one so distin- guished for his talent, learning and ability as was Mr. Sandford. Judge Stoseon, in granting the motion, also psid an eloquent tribute to the worth and learning of Mr. Sand- ford and others of the bar known to have been with him on the Arctic, and supposed to have shared his uatime- ly fate; an? direeted the clerk to enter on the minutes of the court an order that this branch of the Court, out of respect to the memory of Mr. Eiward Sandford, and other members of the New Ycrk bar, eupposed to have perished with him, do stand adjourned until to-morrow morning, at ten o'clock. ‘The Court then adjourned amidst the most profound silence, and an air of sadness was visible on every coun- tenance as they left the court room. THE EFFECT ON ‘CHANGE AND AMONG BU- SINESS MEN. ‘A deep gloom pervaded the business circles in the lower part of the city yesterday, on sccount of the news of the melancholy loss of the noble steamship Ar- tie, and the terrible loss of life which attended it. Among thore who were known to have perishod, were several retired merchants and many valuable citizons of New York, who with their families or part thereof, had been on European tours the past summer. Universa! ‘apd deep sympathy was expressed for Mr. E. K. Collins andthe remaining members of his family, as well as for the sad bereavement susteined by the members of the Messrs Brown's family circle. When the merchants assembled on ’Change at the usual hour, 8 P. M., such were the feelings and general expressions of sorrow for the loss.of so many valuable lives, that the meeting had more the appearance of a funeral convention, than a convention for business pur- pores. When the large room of the rotunda was pretty well filled, by previous arrangement, CHARLES Mansnatt, Fsq., was called to the chair, on taking which he called those present to order, when heads were uncovered and the most profound silence prevailed. ‘The CuAmman then, in slow and solemn tone of voire, announced what he said was felt and known by all, that a great calamity had occurred, by which a im storo doors, in banking houses, groups were assembled, exch with the other canvassing | the chances for the safety of some boon | companion, or ina general discussion reospitulating the | story of the chipwreck. All business in Wall street was | apporently for awbile stopped, and merchants rnd bank. | era, forgettic g the rise of stocks and the fluctuations of | trade, by ‘one touch of nature’? were brought together | as participants inthe general grief. The Exchange was crowded during most of the day, but tue one subject of the loss of the Arctic engrossed the attention of all, lins was closed, the attaches of the office having given to visiters all the intormstion and relief that could be aflorded them. The loss of the Areticis a tale of horror that cannot be soon forgotten. PROCEEDINGS IN THE LAW COURTS. There were four or five members of the New York bar on board the ill-fated steamer Arcsic, and though ne mention of their namex has been made in the proceed. | ings—from the hope that some of themmay be amongst | those who sucoreded in escaping in the boate—there isa | gloom depicted in every countensnce around the courts: | ‘The members of the bar alluded to are Edward Sandford, M. Woodruft, Abner Benedict, and George F. Allen. COURT OF COMMON PLHAB. The Hon. Judge Daly prosiding. At the opening of the court this morning, Judge Ingra- her tock his seat apon the beach bastde Judge Daly. Mr. James T. Brapy, who was evidently deeply affec'ed rose and said :— Some of my brethren of the bar requested me to sug gest to your Honer that in view of the recent appalling calamity, the action consequent upon it in the other branch of this conrt, andin conformity with a custom leng established and observed, this tribunal should transact no business to day. Iam sorry that some other gentleman did not undertake the melancholy duty of making this suggestion. ‘The loss of the steamship Arctio-an affliction which touches not only this community, but the whole nation—comes upon me with s most painful effect. In that ves- sel, aftera sojourn in Europe, during which I some- times doubted whether I would ever again ree my mative land, I returned to my family and friends, the delights of tome, andthe profesrion ef which I feel it is an honor to bea member. Iformed the acquaintance of Captain | Luce under circumstances which so endeared him to me that Ican say without affectation, I loved him. If a noble ship could confer honor on the gallant suilor by whose command of her she was also dignifed, there never was an instance in which such an association would be more likely to produce such result. He was a most able officer, asincere, right hearted man, and if he has indeed perished, it is conoling to know that he died at bis post of duty, and in the chivalric disebarge of his trust, It seems certain that the terrible disaster which engulphed his ship must have carried agony to hearts and homes in every district of bad riven, by this dispen:ation, ties whish bound their affection to some beloved object. I tremble in appre- hension for one who is reported as among those who tcok to the boats—s highly valued friend, the companion of wy early youth, to whom my devotion has strength- those who are so fortunate as to haves had no friend or acquaintance lost cr endangered, cannot, if they feelan while dezloring the dreadful sacrifice of so many lives, to mourn over the destruction of a vessel in which we might well feels national pride. To the New York bar this awful incident is peculiarly distressing, aa several of our there is scarcely a hope that they will ever again appear erong us in the field of our professional association and j labor, It seems, therefore, eminently proper that this Bis Honor Judge Day remarked that he sympathised deeply with all whom the awfal incident had affected, | and considered that it wou'd be not only appropriate to adjcurn the court, but that such « proceeding was an that usage was the more called for on an occasion lik» | this, when the loss of our professional brethren was as | eociated with so great a public affliction. There were in the unfortunate veasel several gentlemen bslonging t> the barof this city, with all of whom he was nequsinted | —with ove of them he had been cenneoted by tong and intimate friendship. The feelings awakened by sucha loss refrained from exposition inspeeeh. Silence was more na tural and perbsps as appropriate tribute as words, And | while ma:bing by this public act the due sense of our professional loss, axd of the weight of this calamity, | he found it more in consonance with bis own feelings, as it would be with the sense and sympathies of thore about him, oniy to reer gnise the propriety of the motion, and | direct the adjournment of the court.

P. H. HOLT, Secretary. DESCRIPTION OF THE ARCTIC. ‘The Arctic was the third built of the Collins line. She ‘was constructed in 1860 by Mr. Wm. H. Brown, at the foot of Twelfth street, Fast river, and had been always urder the command of Capt. Luce. She was considered one of the staunchest vessels ever built. Her hull was encased with strong iron diagonal braces, in addition to all the other modern improvements in shipbuilding that could be applied to render her as strong as Wood and fron could possibly make her. Her tonnage was 2,856 76-96ths government measurement, or about 8,600 car- penters’ measurement—the measurement usually em ployed in speaking of a vessel. Her dimensions were a6 follows :—Lebgth, 285 feet; breadth of beam, 45 feet (across the paddles .76); depth of hold, 32 feet 11% inches. Her dining raloon was 76 feet Jong, and 20 wide, and the withdrawing saloon 65 feet long by 40 wide; and by their rich and elegant style of furnishing excited the surprise and admiration of everybody. The machinery of the vessel was from the foundry of Mesers. Stillman, Allen & Co., and consisted of two side lever engines, ef 1,000 horse power. Each cylinder was 95 inches in diameter, witha stroke of 10 feet. She cost in building $600,000, and was insured in England for £60,000 sterling, and im this country for $310,000, ma. king a total of $600,000. She was provided with boats sufficient for five hundred persons. Her cargo was light—probably not more than half an average—as is usval at this season of the year—and was insure? for $200,060, principally in Wall street. TELEGRAPHIC.

Fot reasons best known to the other banks it has been thrown out, and must stand hereafter upon its own bottom. It is our opinion that there is not « better bank in the city than the Kaickerbooker. ‘The failure of the Eighth Avenus Bank ne doubt caused some slight embarrassment to the Knickerbocker, but we believe it to be perfectly sound and able to psy every penny of liabilities, The bank has not saspended and probably wili cot. It has good men im the management and its business has been conducted upon legitimate principles. ‘The loss of the steamship Arctic, of the Collins’ line, will fall upon our insurance companies and upon indi viduals. Her cargo is estimated to have bees worth wards of a million of dollars. The appalling loss of life spread a gloom over the city, and the effect was clearly visible among the commercial classes. It partially ar- rested business operations in the street and at the Ex- change. The less of so wany public men males it a public calamity. A resolution was passed to have the Corn Exchange draped in mourning for thirty days. Flags on the Custom House and among the shipping were hoisted at half mast during the day. The steamship Europa, from Liverpool, brings no news of importaace, either in a financial or commercial point of view. At the second beard a nruch better feeling prevailed, and there were large sales, particularly of Erie, stan advance. At the opening this afternoon, Erie sold at 4434 cash, and closed at 46%, seller three days, andthe trazractions figure up nearly four thousand shares. The result of the election appears to give general satis‘ac- tion. Some of the new members are thorough goinz, sbrewd, practical men, who are perhaps as intimately acquainted with the financial affairs of the company as those who have been in from the commencement. W have great hopes of the representatives of the foreign interest in the company, and believe that their election will bave a very favorable infuence on the other side. It is stated that the report of the committee of investi- gation will be made ina few days, and that it will be much more satisfactory than anticipated. The new board will apply themselves at once to the permanent arrargement of the company’s finances. We have point edouta plan by which all difficultiesand embarrass- ments can be at once removed without bearing fown too hard upon the stockholders, and we have reason to be Neve that something of the kind will be a¢opted.

The tendency throughout was upward, and at the close all the leading stocks were firm at our quota- tions. os ‘Those who have been losers by the failure of the Eighth Avenue Bank must make the best of it. Tho bank never had any credit but that derived through tie dorsement of the Metropolit: n Bank, and as soon as that great currency regulator withdrew its support, there was nothing left to sustain it. The Metropolitan Bank is morally responsible for the losses a groat many pocr people have suffered by the failure of the Kighth ave. nue Bank and tke Fighth Avenue Sevings Bsok, Whon this bank first started it made an arrangement with the Me‘ropolitan for the redemption of ita bills, To se cure the Metropolitan, it made deposit of five thou- sand dollars, and being unable to make s greater deponit, paid the interest on five thousand dollars more. The Metropclitan then announced that it would redeem the notes of the Eighth Avenue Bank. This gave its bills credit, and it was ab‘e to get out a circulation of $82,996, and to get deposits to the amount of $34,602. The Metro- politan Bank knew at the time it gave the Eighth Avenue Bank credit, by egreeingto redeem its bills, (having se- curity in hand,) that {t wasn rotten, worth'ess concern, and would not be long rustained. It knew that only a portion of its capital had been paid in, and that there ‘was not a responsible man in the managemeut. Knowing all this, it endorsed it. Having security enough for its own protection, the Metropolitan induced the public to trust a rotten, insolvent concern, and then, by itsown sot, destroyed what credit it had created. We can con: sive of nothing more outrageous on the part of a bank- ing institution than what the Metropolitan Bank hes deen guilty of in this instance. Its cheracter has been used to place in good standing a bank without « capital orany of the elements calculated to cause public conf- dence, and, having accomplished that, it turns about, and, being secure in its own deposite, leaves those it has deluded to get out the best way they can. It has in several instances led the public into the ditch, and loft them there. ihe Metropolitan Bank may be satisfied with its course, and continue to pursue it. The paltry seven hundred ¢ollars per annum derived rom interest on the deposits of the Kighth Avenue or any other wild cat bank, may be sufficient inducement for the Metro: politan to place the public in s position to lose tens of thousands, but, according to the code of financiers of less respectability, the price of such valuable aid as that furnished to the Eighth Avenue Bank should have been much greater. For seven hundred dollars per annum any wild cat bank can secure the endorsement of the great currency regulator of this city. Where is the Erie and Kalamazoo Bank? ‘The Cochituate Fire Insurance Company, of Boston, have ceclared « dividend of four per cent; Boston Ma- pufacturing Company (Waltham), $20 per share. ‘The receivers of the Cochituate Bank of Boston have given notice that on and after Monday next, the 16th inst., a dividend of fifty per cent will be paid at the Webster Bonk on all claims against the Cochituate Bank proved prior to the lst of August last, in amount stated to be $140,000. Ali theclaims will be presented tothe Court in February, when another dividend of as- sete will prebably be declared. 4 ‘The earnings of the Michigen Central Railroad Com- | pany, in September, 1854, amounted to $225,235 73, egsinst $182,609 80 for the same month last year.
