The Epidemic at Norfolk and Portsmouth. | FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. OUB NORFOLK OOKRESPONDENOE. Norrorx, Oct. 3, 1855. The disease seems to be ata stand, verifying the opinion ‘which is prevalent among us that it is » want of ma- terial to work upon that causes its apparent dectine. ‘Were our citizens to return now the tale of woe would be ‘More horrifying than it bas yet been. The average Tumber of deaths have been from eight to ten for the past two or three days. There are very few, compara- ‘tively, who can contract the disease. Tne following, T learn, are at this time convalescent:—Mr. Thos. Hender- son, the Rev, Mr. Jackson, of the old St, Paul’s chureh; Dr. Moore, Mrs, Dalrymple, Mrs. John Holmes, and Mrs, Ann L. Moore, Drs. Hargrove and Freeman are once re read) rvice, having recovered. The daughter of Ohiet sustine Toney died 1S ee reine Comme ae nee turday, of yellow fever. ‘This 1s an original case, and creates at the fortress considerable excitement, Some new cases have occurred daily—among them Mr. Franklin Moore, a Custom House officer. Monday several physicians left Norfolk for thetr re- spective destinations. A delegation from the Howard Infirmary accompanied them to the boat, aud thence went on to Hampton, where | learned that Dr. Henry Selden was dying--he has since died. Last night he breathed his last, and the world lost a noble specimen ot atrue man. The following persons have died since Sun- day, a8 nearly asTcan ascertain:—Mrs, illen Dusch, Mir. Schlinger, the druggist of Howard Infirmary; a wo- ‘of Mr. Otts, Samuel barnes, one hundred und one a of age; John Richardson, Christine, » Sister of rity; Miss Delacy, Miss Connolly, R. Cross, Ednaond Ford, David Johnson, Mary A. Boush, Phebe Berry, a woman, name unknown; Mrs. Colb, Miss Kennedy, Cleig, Thos. White, a police officer;'a slave of N. Parker's, slave of J. G. Wilkinson, Susan Southgate, Robert Dal- rymple, a master stone mason of our city, Mr. Meyers, ot Richmond, left on Monday for his home; long will he be remembered by us aa the gontlémanly manager of the Howard Infirmary. Mr. Meyers has pr himself, in the present ‘crisis, well worthy of the high trust reposed im him Long | may he live oes the consciousness of hat while here, “done his whole duty.” Dr. Marsh, of Philadelphia, will leaye to-day. This gentleman came to Norfolk on his individual responsibility, was accepted by the How- ard Association, and went to work. Of the delegation from ee containing eighty persons, only three will return—DOre, Freeman, Van Cleve, and Gibbs, The rest have fullen at their post. There are at this time only six patients in the Iufirmary; one-half of them will probably recover, ‘A short time since I published an article in your paper reflecting upon the character of an uncle ot a youth named Lewis. oy came to Norfolk, and told his atory very straight. I wasalso informed of the occur- rence by @ physician. who doubtless obtained it fram the boy; but since that time the boy has told so many differ- ent stories concerning his return, that I was led to inves- tigate the matter further, when I found that he had come to Norfolk not only against the desire of his uncle, but against his express command. Mr. Lewis sought to retain him, but shorn of some of his privileges, which he bad enjoyed during the life of his father, a too indul- gent man, he would not stay. This explanation fally ex- onerates Mr. Lewis from all blame in his return. ‘The weather has been quite cool, Heaven grant that it may remain a0, NORFOLK, American Bible Society. ‘The stated meeting of the managers was held on Thurs- day, the 4th inst., at 43g P. M., Dr. Thomas Cock in the chair, assisted by Hon, Luther Bradish, Benjamin L. Swan and Wm. B. Crosby, Esqrs. Four new societies were recognized—one in Conneoti- cut, one in Tennesee and two in Texas.

It was also resolved to publish the Gospel by John, and the Acts of the Apostles, in Spanish, for use as a sehvol book in St. Domingo; and an appropriation wa: made to purchase blocks to print the Chinese New Testa ment at Amoy. It was also determined to publish a Swedish Bible, as soon as the funds can be spared for that urpose. Piftev. Robert I.

The stock market continues unsettled. There was con- siderable activity at the first board, and better prices were in several instances realized. State stocks have for some days past been more active than usual, but lower Prices have ruled. Missouri 6's sold to day to the extent of more than $100,000, principally on time. Railroad bonds are comparatively quiet; Ilineis Central were better to-day, and but small lots offering, TMlinois Con- tral stock was in demand at an advance. The Western vailroad stocks were a little firmer, with very few shares offering. Reading and Erie were without much change, but supported principally by active operations of specu- lators. The market benefitted by the little let-up in the money market. We may have these occasional reac- tions in the market, but the tendency will be throughout towards greater stringency. ‘The condition of things in Europe cannot be otherwise than injurious to many of our great interests. [t would be dangerous to suppose that we could maintain all our interests in a state of bigh prosperity while the principal uations of Europe are suffering from short crops, and all the horrors of an expensive war, It may ve argued that @ country like this, possessing all the elements of wealth, producing from its soil not only gold—which forms the basis of all currency, and is the representative of property throughout the world— but food, and the raw material for raiment, in an abun dance almost sufficient to feed and clothe the world must be able to control financial and commercial mat- ters, and comimand any terms for our products; but it ix not altogether so. The people of Europe may be com- pelled to take our breadstuffs at high prices, but their necessities may also compel them to leave our other staples, the value of which forms an important item in our export ti line in the value of our cotton shipments may offset all our profits in breadstuffs. In periods of plenty and prosperity the con- sumption of all the necessaries and luxuries of life are unlimited, and activity reigns in every department of industry; but when searcity and high prices’ prevail for food, economy in consumption—not only of that, but of all other products—is induced, and trade is restricted to the narrowest limit. If we had nothing but flour, wheat, corn and provisions to sell, we might command high prices with impunity; but when we have articles of luxury as well as of necessity, we are dependent more or less upon the ability and prosperity of our customers. At the first board to-day, Tennessee 6's declined 14 per cent; Missouri 6’, 14; Nicaragua, %%¢; Hudson Railroad, 34; Michigan Central, 2; Indiana 5's aavanced ¢ per cent; Illinois Central Bonds, 34; Pennsylvania Coal, 1; Galena and Chicago, 34; Reading, 14; Michigan Southern, 1; Minoia Central Railroad, %; Cleveland and Toledo, 1; Chicago and Rock Island, 34. At the second board Mlinois Central Bonds advanced 4% per cent; Cumberland, 1; Galena and Chicago, 14; Cleveland and Toledo, 1. A hundred or two shares of Galena and Chicago could not have been bought this af ternoon at Jess than 119 per cent. It has improved one per cent since yesterday. All that we have said in favor of this stock, and more, will be realized by those who are wise enough to hold it. The report current a few days since of a defalcation in the New York Central Company, proved to have been not without foundation, An agent in the western partof the State, absquatulated with $13,500 of the funds received at that end of the line for freight. This unfortunate affair reduces the surplus of the Company to about $945; of this immense amount, $43 goes into the reservation fund for deprecia- tion, and the $900 will remain in the treasury to satisfy the claims of the drovers who recently hal their cattle killed by a collision of trains. Future collisions and ac- cidents, and the annual appropriation necessary to renew track, cars, &¢., over and above the $43, are unprovided for. The directors of the Michigan Southern and North- ern Indiana Railroad Company have passed a resolution that after the Ist of January the construction stock of that road shall be made full stock, It is now receiving 8 per cent per annum, but will then participate in the earn- ings of the road, and the same dividend will be paid on iv as on the present full stock, ‘The Fulton Fire Insurance Company have declared a semi-annual dividend of five per cent. The Kighth Ave- nue Railroad a quarterly dividend of three per cent. The Oriental Insurance Company, of Salem, Mass., four per cent. The American Insurance Company, of Providence R. L, four per cent.

For the Interior Department TATA 6 War warrants received and entered 96,107 58 From miscellaneous sources 700 On account of the Navy 267,328 75 The Triune of the 4th instant contained the follow- ing:— The Henanp, afew days sinee, in a labored article upon the comparative value of railroads, after showing by va- tious statements that the Chicago ‘and Rock Island Rail- road earns this year 16 per cent om its stock, the Michigan Southern 25 per cent, and the Galena and Chicago 30 per cent, says:— “ Assuming, then, the figures to be substantially cor- rect, we must say, they reveal some very curious facts. It will he seen that while the stock of these exmpanies ix selling in the market at # difference of less than 20 per cent, there is a range in the actual net profits of some 280 per cent. Taking Michigan Southern as the basis, and call it worth 150 per cent, the stocks should stand folows:— New York Central........+++ Chicogo and Rock Island, Mickgan Southern and Galena and Chieago. “Or, if we take t ral at tion of the stocks, according to the follows:— New York Central Chicago snd Rock island! 2°"! Michigan Southern and Northern in: 250 per cent le cago. 450 per cent. Why the New York Central, with ite bare 8 per cent, commands in market a price very nearly eual to stocks earning double and even quadruple the amount of money net, we confess we are atu loss Wo understand.’’ Now, as a bear argument against Central, this ix sim- py beurd. If it proves anything, it proves not that entral is selling for more than it is worth, but that the other roads are selling for less, Such statements can only be gratifying to the holders of the stock whose va- ine is thus growsly exaggerated. However ‘grossly exaggerated’? the valuation of the Hrnatp may appear, it is nevertheless strictly correct. If we take the market price of Centra) (or what it was on the day our article was written,) as the standard, the valuation of the other stocks follows of course. We did not ray that Galena and Chicago was worth 450, sim- ply because we were not prepared to admit that Centra! hk par. We took Central as the standard, and the price of the other stocks follows, as stated by us, as 4 matter of course. We know of no better rule to judge ofa stock than by its productiveness—its net profits. 1B is not denied that the present financial year's business of the four roads mentioned as officially reported and es- timated, and as appeared in detail in the article al- luded to by the Tvilnme, shows the following result :— New York Contral earn 8 per cent “ 100 per cent 00 per cent. 5 is Chics ge aud Rock Island: im Michigan Southern... —2 “ Gal 2 Chicago. ; a « Now, we beg to say that either Central at 95 ix too high, or that Chicago and Rock Island at 94, Michigan na and Chicago at 117, are too low. We stand upon the proposition as made. The stocks may be figured up or Sgured dowo—we care not which. Either hora ofthe dilemma may be taken, as its the taste of the party Aguring; {t amounts to the some thing. The fact is the editor of the Trine is an inveterate bull, and will wi He hes too many friends in Central t whim to speak out his real sen- timents. It is not the time that his kindly dispo sition has cup away with lit Judgment, and we tear it will not be the Inst, The first anual meeting of the stockholders of the New York nf orton Alr Line Railroad Company since’ the merging into it, by an act of the Massa- River road, was Connecticut, on Wednesday last, for the purpose of receiving vari- ous reports, and of electing a new board of directors. ‘The object of the projectors of this road, it will be re- membered, is to construct a road between New York and Boston, which shall be the shortest und most direct; and hence its name of “Air Line."’ Between New Haven and Boston, according to the survey, there will be a saving of twenty-five miles in distance over the shortest route at Present travelled, and, owing to the light grades and curvatures, it is estimated that the rate of speed can be so arranged as to effect a saving of about am hour and half or two hours in the time now consumed in making the journey between the two cities. ‘The meeting was numerously a‘tended, about nine- tenths of the whole stock subscribed for being represent- ed, and entire unanimity of view and purpose appeared to prevail. Hon. Chas, R. Alsop presided. J. 8. Stokes, Esq., treasurer of the company, read the treasurer's re- port, from which it appeared that the sum subscribed for the construction of this road thus far amounts to $963,300, and that the expenditures were $736,205, leav- ing am unexpended balance of subscriptions of $231,095. Of this expenditure, a large portion has been made in Massachusetts, in which State adistance of eight miles of the road is completed, and four miles more ready for the rails, Besides this, fifteen miles have been about half graded, and a considerable amount ot work has been done both in Rhode Island and Connecticut. The several reports were accepted. That of the Chief Engineer, (T. Willis Pratt, Fsq.,) embodied a large amount of statistical and other information, from which the most flattering prospects of remunerative success might be reasonably interred, Mr. Whittaker, who represented a considerable amount of the Massachusetts stock, suggested that in the election of the new board of directors, it would be advisable for the stockholders of the several States of Massachusetta, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Maine to confer among themselves as to the nomination of gentlemen whom they might deem best suited to represent their interests, This proposition was at once assented to. The whole number of directors to be elected was thirteen; but it was decided to elect only ten at the present meeting, leaving three vacancies to be filled at an adjourned moeting; and it wax understood that these vacancies would be filled by names of gentlemen in the State of New York. Various preliminary and formal motions having been disposed of, the stockholders proceeded to ballot with the following results— Connecticut—Charles R. Alsop, E. A, Russell, William R. Smith and J. E. Enghsh, Rhode’ Island—Daniel 8. Whipple, and Hiram A’ Massachusetts—J. V. C. Smith, (prefent Mayor of Boston.) Artimus Nowell, and Joshua B. Tobey, Maine—Hon. J. M. Wood, M. Another meeting of the stockholders is shortly to be held, with the view of making such further arrangements as may tend toa vigorous prosecution of this important line of railway comuuication. The Carbondale (Pa.) Standard and Expositor says that the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company contemplate a locomotive road from that place to Lanesborough, through Frost Hollow, Herrick, &.; that the surveys have been made, and that ground will be broken proba- bly next spring. The grand object of this road is to reach the Western market with their coal, where the de- mand for anthracite is rapidly increasing, it being exten- sively used in furnaces and forges as fir West as Oho; besides the immense and increasing consumption for cu- linary and heating purposes everywhere in the Wost, especially in Western New York. A railway is also in contemplation from Lanesborough direct to the city of Albany. ‘The Chicago Press says that the Chicago, St. Paul and Fond du Lae Railroad is in operation to Woodstock, McHenry county, fifty miles from Chicago, and is doing a fine business. This was formerly called the Illinois and Wisconsin Railroad, During the embarrassments of the last year it suffered severely in common with other roads; but it is now progressing with energy; ani it ix expected that it will be finished to Janesville, thirty-eight miles from Woodstock, by the first of January next. Five thousand tons of iron have recently been purchased, several cargoes of it are already on the way. T amount of iron, it is thought, is sufficient to lay the track to Janesville, and also extend the northern division of the road from Waupun to the junction of the Milwaukie and La Crosse Railroad, This latter road will probably be completed from Milwaukie to the junction by the first of January, giving us by the Lake Shore road a di communication with Fond du Lac on the first of January It is thought that the road between Janesville and the junction of the La Crosse road can be completed early in the spring. ‘The negotiations for iron and the progres sive basis on which it has been put, have been eifected principally by the persevering efforts of Hon, William B. ‘Ogden, president of the road, within the last few months. Any one who will examine its location on the map, and inform himself as to the character of the country through which the road passoa, will be satisfied that it will be one of the best roads entering the city. Its early completion is therefore a matter of much public interest, Sock Exchange. Fripay, October 5, 1855. $1000 Ind i 5?s,.'660 360 sls’ Cumb Cl Go 263 10000 dO. or. .
