PREPARATIONS FOR THE SEARCH--STARTING UPON THE BUSINESS. ‘This morning, in compliance with the recommen- dati-ns of last night, come four or five handred persons aseembled at te City Hall, and after some preliminary transactions two marshala were ap- pointed; to wit, Messrs. Patterson aad Stone. It was then cecided to ap oiat ten captains to act under them, but subsequently the nomber was raised to fifteen. We didnot catch all the names, but we noticed among théin Mesars. Benton, Shiel is, Barnard, Hoy:, Peck, Harrison, Want, Morey, Lewis, Bickco:l, ery, Seer and Hovey. The orgs«ization having been comp'eted, Mr. Hovey stated that in the examination had, it had been proved by testimony unimpeachable, that on the night Mica Moore disap; the wails and sobbings of a femite had been trac:d down Hadson or West North st ect, nesily to the Ridge road, and be bad no doubs if she bad not been killed ehe would be found contined s:mewsere between that point and the Lake. At this point a stranger appeared, who stated, ia substance, that a friend of hussw ® woman, ported by t7o men, proceeding slong the ssme route towards the Lake, at a late hour on the night in question. Some otber information, tending to the same point, was said to bs in possession of the committee, but it was deemed advisabie to withhold it till the result of the cearco is known. The company then repaired to the railroad cross- ing on Hudson street, for the purpose of puranio the investigation for which they had volunteered. The result will ba repcrted at an adjourned meeting at the or ifall this evaning. P. 3.—The party are coming home—have made no discovery. ‘The following message from the Mayor of Roches- ter was sent to the Common Council:— Mayon’s OrFicx, Roch., Nov. 28, 1854, To mar Honorania: tir Common’ Couxcri— It is well known to your honorable body that Miss Em- maa Moore left the residence of her brother-in-law, R. L. Whitney, on North street, on the 14th inst., between the hours of half-past seven and eight o’clock in the evening, and has not since been seen or heard from—unless she was seen in company with another young woman—about half-past seven, on Main street, by Mr. Vandermark, and about a quarter to eicht o’clock by two of the clerks in the store of Messrs. Wilder & Gorton, where two young women called—and one of them anawering very exactly the description given of Miss Moure—exchanged a pee of gloves which she purchased there sometime that 4 Yrery person who was supposed to know sere relation to the disappearance of Miss Moore, have been ersonally visited wnd examined by me, and most of them by the Police Justice—and the facts thus elicited, I re- gret to say, fail to furnish » clue to unvail her mysteri- ous disappearance and continued absence. And here I deem it to be my duty to that not » fact appears which has the slightest tendency to impli- cate any person or persons, as principals or accessories in this unhappy a Tidings are no: ited from different direc- tions—particularly from h er, who is now in the State of Ilinois, where a vigilant fand discreet police: man bas been despatched, at the expense of the tamily; the $2456 left in the possession of Miss Moore, bul which belonged to her futher, who is abundantly able, and doubtless willing to incur this expense, having been tendered to me by Mr. George Moore, with the concur- rence as F was informed of other members of the family, in part for this purpose, and from whom we may short- ly expect to hear. Ihave been repeatedly solicited to offer a large reward in this case. Ihave refrained from doing so for two reasons: first, because the city charter does not confer upon the Mayor the power; and secondly, becaus> I hope the cause and manner of her disappoarance will in a few days be better understood, and the measures proper to be pursued more clearly indicated, than the: are at present. On this subject, therefore, U'shall await the pleasure of your honorable body. In the meantime I beg to assure you, that the whole police force of the city have been, aud will continue, to and persevering in their eiforts to bring to light the agencies which have caused the disappearance of a highly respectable young woman, ang produced an intense and universal excitement throughout the city. In the investigation of this matter, some expenses have already been incurred, witich seemed to be necessary and unavoidable, and doubtless there will be others, which, 1 trust, will meet with your approval. Very respectfully, M. STRONG, Mayor.

Some time has passed since my laet letter to the Henatp, and, although there have been stirring events in the world, our little town has enjoyed quiet repose. Now, however, there is very little to inform you of that will in in any way interest your readers, who have in that paper their eyes on the whole world. I once in a while, see a copy of your daily double sheet, and look back to the first number of the Hrratp and wonder at the advancement made in the newspaper business in the last few years. ‘The heartrending news of the loss of the Arctic was received here, via New Orleans, on the 2d inst.; and, al- though our principal men here have always seemed to hold these steamers in light estimation compared to the Cunard line, yet the sorrow among all was deep and un'- versal—men were startled, appalled and paralyzed, 4 @]| look for the place Tecan hardly express th sympathy which was mai feeling of interest ard fested in the countevances of all on its arrival. Captain Luce’s brave anil heroic conduct is highly extolled, while his das- tardly crew is ax fervently condemned. We received for the suiferers by the late great fire here, $540 in cash, and some provisions by the bark Wm. 0. Alden. The provisions were sold at public auction, and the proceeds added to the first amount, whictt makes about $900, contributed voluatarily and sponta- neously by the New Yorkers. This sum, under the cir- cumstances, although not large, is very acceptable, and is highly appreciated by our sister community. As it was given uncalled for and unsolicited, it is the more cherished, and your generous warm hearted sympathy will be cordially and gratefully remembered long after the Joss and inconvenience have ceased to be felt. Our town was thrown into quite an excitement by the arrival of a vessel from Jamaica, with news of the tak- ing of Sebastopol by the allies, in & short fight of ome hour anda half, ‘The valiant aud victorious army wore cheered and toasted, gladnees and joy shone in every countenance, and all the calamities of the past yes" were readily forgotten. The Qucen, the Emperor, an heir gallant armies, were on every tongue; but alas, «| hu- man happiness is liable to drawbacks, and this was the case with us, for that night a vessel arrived from New Orleans with the intelligence that the report was all false.

Iwas this day shown a letter from Mr. Edwards, concerning this road; and, among other things, he says’ that all the drafts shall'be paid, and the ox- Tenses, alve, by next January; but ae I shw one para. graph which I knew was not correct, I immediately set the whole down at the same standard. I buve good reanon to believe that this route is the best, under ail circumstances, of any which has been proposed, and the right of way has been obtained on more favorable terms than any of the others; yet I feac, os it has fallen into bad hands, ‘it. will never be built, and that the Honduranians—who now think 80 well ‘of the Americans—will soon, with the citizens of Guatemala consider the Yankees as a nation of swindlers. Between these two States matters remain unchanged, the Guatemalians occasionally issue pro- clamations; but that is on pares, ant does no material damage, and.on the whole ia most harmless kiad of war. pr 43.1.1] The mahogany cutting establishment at Limas, on the coast of Honduras, has just been established, under the auspices and mafffkement of the person who form conlucted it so successfully.

These establisnments are all working wi der grants from the King of the Mosquitoes—and, of course, much interest is taken here in the doings of the English and United States governments, in regard to th poor Negro King of the Mosquitoes. Hence the indiz nation felt and the censure which is heaped on the Greytown affair. I opine ifthe same act bad been done at Truxillo, Omea,or any other port or town in Honduras, it would have efeated no excitement or indignation there.

Pluss, Esq., the newly appoinird police magistrate, has entered on’ his duties ‘under favorable aus; He is alawyer, and makes a dogal judge, which was much wanted. Many of his de- eisions are different from those which we have usually had from ur citizen magistrates, and one or two bear rather bard on the interests of the mahogany cutters, who are anything but pleased; but{ imagine all wil become satiofed. We have had unususlly heary rains, which have eazsed great floods and much deséruction of property, apd four lives have been lost, which we have reparted here; and as. all of our rivers and crecks hawe persag3 living on them, it ia only reasonable to suppose that tas number The booms fo the Obl River have been broken away by this flood, and a quantity of mahogauy has gone to fea, part of which will de picked up. There has been an usnsual large py of mabo- gany got outthis year; bat as freights have been yery high, only a small quantity bas been sout away, and our yards, wharves, and the rivers, are still * are now falling, and as several largo vessels already ved, and more are expected, it will scm be sout away, ‘The price of mahogany bas fallen over 50 per cent hero; in fact, the men who eut small lots oa their. own account, and have not sold, caunot tind buye."€ at $25 per M, which could have been sold four mi ago from $60'to $70 per Ma Savsaparilla is very and that which sold readily at 22c., can find no buyer now at lic, The same with shell; it sold ia June for $6 to $6 per pound.

Mr. Curtia’s very able and interesting first volume of his ‘‘ History of the Constitution of the United States’’ is much admired here. It is, thts far, the best exposi- tion of the federal view of that history which has yet appeared, and is not likely "to be soon superseded, The work, however, is not of a partisan character, but con- ‘1 views with an impartiality of atate- measure of Hallam. It is saidthat a work on the samo subject is now im prese here by some gentleman whose of the subject. A curious work, and one of considerable value to a proper understanding of our history, has just been pub. lished here, entitled ‘The Landing at Cape Anne, or the Charter of the First Permanent Colony on the Territory of the Massachusetts Company.’’ The character of the work may be best gathered from the following extract from the preface:—‘The fol lowing pages prove that Massachusetts begins her his- tory, not at Salem, nor under the patronage of the or- ganization which obtained the charter of March, anno 1627-'8, but inthe spring of the year 1624, at Cape Anne, where the colony was established, under the au- thority of this her first charter, the very initial of her annals—now first presented to the public.”? Our early history would serm to haye been involved in aa much obecurity as that of Rome; but the attention of scholars and antiquaries having been directed to it of late years, it is getting to be well understood, and a mass of reliable materials will be provided for the uee of the future his- torian, which will much facilitate his labors. ‘(Ida May” is said to be in much demand, and that the publishers cannot supply the orders that are sent for copies of it. A new volume of poems, by Mr. Wm. Winter, of Cambridge, is announced to appear goon. As it is dedicated, by permission, to Mr. Longfellow, we may expect something good. ‘The second volume of Flunkey Hudson’s edition of Shakspeare is out. It is contemplated to have this work indicted as a nuisauce, the edition being so unmitigated a humbug. “ Martin Merrivale ” has appeared in a complete form. The accounts of the losa of the Ocean steamship, one of our fastest between Boston and the Maine ports, fill our mornang papers. The general impression is that the captain of the lost vessel is most to blame. Cochituate water is getting to be so bad that it ia scarcely drinkable, The unpleasant taste which it has acquired is distinetly discernible in the tea and coffee which are made from it. Dr. Hewitt writes as follows to the Post:—‘I ticd two or three thicknesses of white flannel over the water cock in my house, and let the wa- ter run thirty minutes; then took it off, and there was a thickness of one-sixteenth of an inch of a white greasy substance, collected upon the flannel; and I have heard of a number of instances where sméil particles of a white yubstance, that looked like pieces of fish, have been found in the water.” A Hlossant fiuid for ordinary use, certainly. Some sickness has been caused by use of the water. The remedy proposed is to let the water run freely from every outlet, until its character shall be banged. The friends of Mr. Banks had a@ ‘: jollification’’ at Waltham last night. Mr. Gardner was present, but left early. A Waltham hunker says that he was so disgusted with this first specimen of his constituents that he had seen, that he badto retire on account of a sudden revul- sion of feeling; but my hunker friend may perhaps be the victim of prejudice. Governor Boutwell sent a lotier to the meeting, which was well written, but bad uo more connection with the object of those who composed it than would a di-quisition on the authorship of ‘“Ju- nius.”” Igwas all about the Nebraska bill. Now, Mr. Banks docs not owe his election to his conduct on that ion, in the remotest possiblo degree. Abler men who fought the Nebraska bill from first to were defeated by majorities of : such men as Mr, Upham, Mr. Bliot and Mr. Goodrich, for examples. Mr. Banks had not a deceut he holds, as we now see plaiol; enough, until Mr. Whiting withdrew from the field. An: how came he to withdraw? It is reported, and in such that I have no doubt of the truth of the story, ufus Choate is the man to whom Mr. Banks owes his election. M iting being in doubt what course to pursue after he had been nominated, waited on Mr. Choate, and asked his advice. ‘Stick to your pulpit!”? was the reply of Mr. Choate; and very good ‘co it was, I think, both for Mr. Whiting and for Mr. anks. Mr. Banks’ anti-Nebraskaism would have been of small use to him but for Mr. Choate’s alvice, supposing the atory to be true. ‘The criticisms of the fribune on the character of our new Congressional delegation are severe, but not without foundation. There never wan so weak x body selected before to represent Massachusetts. Among the whole eleven there is hardly one who can be said to stand pro ininent among second class men. Mr Burlingame ix « fine rhetorician, and that is all, exeept that he is a very clever fellow, in the Yankce sense of the words. i!» is not a working man, and when s member of our State Senate he patd about as much attention to committec ee 0 the Christian law whey 4 en we 1e it standing committee, of whic! he was chairman, was done by the second Senator on '', Mr. Brinley, a leading whig. On the ornamental work of committees—such as escorting Kossuth about—he was at home; but as such work is calculated rather to retard business than to advance it, perhaps it is not an exception to the general rule of doing nothing, that he did it. Whether a gentleman with so great a capacity for indolence, is the best qualified person to represent the people, and take care of the natural interests of one of the districts made out of the metropolis of New England, a city whose welfare depencs so a pe upon its materi- al interests being heedfully watched over, is a poimt upon which the opinion of some of our merchants would bably be worth more than mine. Of Mr. ; has succeeded Mr. Walley, I know but little, but ho hog made a very respectable Mayor -of Roxbury, avd so it inay be inferred that he has power enough to be a re- spectable member of not! more. Mr. Davis, who succeeds to Mr, Uphane, has no qualification whatever for the oftice. One of the sticks of his own ships would answer just ae well to serve in Concress as himself, if it could be endowed with power to say yea and no, with the rest of the wooden-heads. Thit such # person should have beaten # acholar and a man of ability and liberal views, and who is thoroughly ac- quainted with the interests of the district, is a pie -e of satire of the practical kind most discreditable to ali who have had any part init. It isiike turning the repre-en- tative system into a joke, and is unworthy an intelligent people. In the Seventh district, Mr. Banks has consider- able experience in legislative matters, and talents are good, so that no objection can_be taken to his elec- tion. Mr. Knapp, who takes Mr. Wentworth’s place in the Eighth. is said to have fair talents, but he has never given any proof of possessing them; and it ia to be hoped that his nerves are better strung than they were in the Year 1662, when he fainted on being turned out of office by his friends for incapacity. He will hardly fgure much in Congress as chairman of any very important commitice, for the man who could not keep a journal of the proceedings of so dulla body as the husetts Seuate, is not bikely to make his irtane writer of reports. The Ninth district is represented by Mr. De Witt, as before. He ia a good businoss man, adif he and Mr. Burlingame could change distric.., he arrangement would be an admirable on Mr. Do Witt’s powers of silence would suit most men in the Fifth district, as thoroughly as Mr, Burlingame’s declamatory speechos on.one theme would please the majority in the forcester district. The gentleman chosen in No. 10, Mr. Morris, is so new to the world that it is uot vasy to find those who know him; but such few as are acqnvint- ed with him, say that he has talents. Mr. Trattwn, of No. 11, is a Methodist, abolition minister, with more ractical ability than men of his order generally possess. fe will probably be the “Captain Crank of the gang,” as he has character, courage and talents, In the First district, leaving aside all considerations of character, Mr. Hall is not the equal of Mr. Eliot in talent. In the Secondand Third districts, Mr. Bufington and Mc. Dain- rell will be found quite equal to Mr. Cooper and Mr. Ed. mands in all respects, not frem their own talents, which have no ex! ce, but because their predecessors are so utterly insignificant. Should the next House of Repre- sentatives take it into its head to put the screws on to printers, Mr. Damvell will be just the man to carry out the work; and that is the extent of his statesmanship, and which, jndgin from what we have seen, may yet carry him into thé Presidency, T do not think that the new party is much to be cen- sured for haying made sucha miscrable piece of busi- ness of the Congressional elections. They only carried their abhorrence to experienced politicians wo far as to exelude from their nominations men likely to learn from experience. It was the excess of a very commend: ble feeling. Then they probably bad never dreamed ‘of such success as fell to them, or they would have been mere select in tl nominations. It was not until the ten days immediately proceding the election, aud there- forecome time after their Congressional nominations bad beon made, that matters assumed so favorable a tarn to¢hem. It is undeniable, however, that they ex- hibited # fondness for mediocrity in almost all their no- minations, and should they continue as they have be- gun, their ageendancy will be mediocrity’s golden age. A prominent democrat, who has been several tines clected to high aftice here, says that they acted as if thoy in utter abhorrence of ven of talent. ere are to be representative elections next Monday in Charlestown, Barnstable, Nan tpoket, and some other places, which failed to choose, in ‘whole or in part, on the 13th, The annexation question mniantes in Charlestown.

After a day of rest we may expect more activity among stock speculators, and it is to be hoped they will renew thelr operations with a spirit qubdued and moderated by the soothing in- fluences of roast turkey aud plum pudding. The Portland, Saco and Portsmouth Railroad Company have declared a dividend of three per sent; the Dwight Manufacturing Company two per cent. ‘The receipts of eoal by the Cumberland Coal Company for the week ending 25th November, were 7,660 tons, averaging 1,276 per day. On Monday, the 2ist November, 1853, we published the annexed list of bauks, in which recent defalcations for a | large amount had taken place. At the time the particu. | lars of some of the operations leading to the abstraction of large sums of money were given. Since, the details of others have come to light, making a very interesting chapter in the financial history of Wall street:— Reportep Deravcations 1x WALL STREET. Bank of the State of New York $160, Fank of Commerce 80, Merchants’ Bank., Metropolitan Bank American Exchange Bank. Hanover Bank........ Independent of the above, the Bank of the State of New York had a package containing about $38,000 stolen from its counter, A portion of that was afterwards recovered. For some time before we exposed the above immense losses, the greatest efforts had been made to suppress the facts, and the public were astonished whon they were made known. Even after we had announced the name of each bank implicated, and the amount of defal- cations, efforts were made to prevent its being credited. It will without doubt be remembered that contradictions | and deniais in every shape were putforth, and we stood | single-handed and alone in the midst of the redoubtable champions of these banking institutions; battling for the | truth and for the protection of the community from the | swindling, cheating, speculating operations of these powerful Incorporated shaving shops. The stockholders | in the banks alluded to were no doubt made to believe that there was not the smallest particle of truth fn our statements. The presidents and cashiers succeeded in quieting the public mind, and hoped they might effectu- ally patch up any deficiency, and squeeze out regular dividends. Now let us ma the result, The following named banks have since admitted defalcations to the emount put down to each:— ACKNOWLEDGED DEFALCATIONS IN NEw YORK Banks. Ocean Hank. $90,000 National Bank, 40,000 Knickerbocker B 100,000 American Exchange 40,000 Tlanover Bank... 25,000 Kank of the State of 100,000 Total. $515,000 One of the banks named in the list published in No- vember, 1858, patched up a defalcation of $80,000, on the morning of its announcement, by depositing in the pay- ing teller’s cash drawer a check for that amount. This en- abled the officers of that institution to contradict our @‘atement, s0 far as their bank was concerned. The B hors have been provided for in some way, and the par- ticulars may never meet the public eye. Defalcations amounting to more than half a milhon of dollars have been acknowledged within the past year, and the probability is that.at this moment there are at least undiscovered and unacknowledged defalca- tions existing to perhaps double that amount. On the 26th of November, 1853—the day after Thankagiving—we made the following remarks relative to the reported efalcations of that time:— In the absence of operations in fancy stocks and other movements of speculators, and those who congregate | in Wall street, we have nothing more interesting or amusing than the clear, comprehensive and explicit de- nial of the statement we made a few days since ing certain detalcations among the Wall street banks. ‘These contradictions, which appear to hafe been given very reluctantly, have evidently been drawn out for particular purposes, and the public can take them for | ment-of the navigation of the 2.500. shen property. tor $10,000 to loan on first , No. 6 William street, 200 “ates map aed Ste o hy shar ashe B.C R.

In relation to the fact stated afew days since,- garding certain defalcations, deficiencies, or delin- quencies, the denials referred to can have no effect. ‘They are generally believed, in and out of Wall street; and in certain circles, even outside of the bank all the particulars are well known and freely discussed.

Forgeries of an extensi ter have besa carried along for months, and the discovery at last made by the merest acoldent. In commercial firms, among partners engaged in mercantile business, we have fre- juently recorded the grossest swindling eprom prac- tinea by one member, which for a long were un- known to the others. Individuals have maintained a high credit for years after they have been insolvent. There are at this moment in ci hundreds of mercantile houses, the members of whic! do not know whether their affairs are sound and sol- venf, or whether they are bankrupt; and there are many others who believe themselves lesaiee but who, in fact, could not wind up their busines pay fifty cents on the dollar of their indebtedness, All engage! in fi and commercial pursuits know that dangers Deset them on every side, and that it is impossible to tell when something may not occur to destroy the best laid a and drain away the product of along period of justry. It appears to be a principle pretty generally acted upon, to keep what you have got and get what you can, and to amass wealth, honestly if you can, but at all events make a fortune, with the idea that the ‘end sanctifies the means. The banks practise upon this principle extensively. The rapid increase of these coneerns in this city, in the face of a rapid accu- mulation of private capital in the hands of private bank- ers, has created a rivi and competition which com- pels them to resort to operations attended with great danger. Instead of discounting the best business paper in the market, they loan upon all sorts of fancy #' My and their best customers now are the brokers and specu. lators of Wall street, instead of the heaviest and wealth- fest commercial houses of the city. It is this chang> in the system of doing business, in connection with ihe necessity of paying large dividends on enormous capitals, which has led to the defalcations alluded to few days since. There are now in this city fifty-five banks, with an aggregate capital of $46,375,342, Five years since the e were less than half the number, with half the capi- tal.

If the un- certified, worthiess checks in hand were put down to the amount of profit and loss,-there would be left in somo of these banks a mighty small balance for the next semi-annual dividend. One of the banks named has al- ready passed one dividend, on account of losses, and it will pass another. In enother the defalcation was dis- covered @ few days after the last dividend had been paid, and it will require the suspension of at least two semi-annual dividends to make the loss. These are some of the results of direct and Yodirect stock speculs- tions, and we may look for many more. ‘The losses on fancy stocks during the year 1854 have been tenfold greater than during the previous year, aud we inay therefore look for more financial dovelopements. Since the 1st of July Inst there has been an average do- cline in fancy stocks of full fifty per-cent, and that de- cline upon the immense amount of capital involved in that class of securities has swept away innumerable for- tunes, and actually bankrupted thousands of speculators. The depreciation in stock securities of every description, during the past twelve months, has been at least thirty million of dollars. That enormous amount of money has been lost, and there is very little doubt but that the banks have lost their share directly, and more than thelr share Indirectly.
