The Sabbath School Superintendents in the Baptist, Free ‘Will Baptist, Episcopal, Congregationalist, and Methodist denominations, bad a meeting on the afternoon of the 18th, at which resolutions were adopted to have a con- vention of the Sabbath School Teachers of the several Evangelical denominations in Marsachusetts, next month. A committee of fifteen gentlemen was appointed, with power to make all the proper arrangements. It is sup- posed that the convention will be held about the middle of November. Horace Mann is coming here on a visit, and will lecture before the Mercantile Library Association, on the 2st of November. He is an absolute and perfect brick in the «way oflecturing, putting a vast amount of matter into what he says, unlike some other gentlemen of the same political persuasion with himself, who have an abundance of words but a great poverty of ideas, The good town of Boston will be full of people next week, and nolsy enough to frighten off one-half the old ‘ogies, who Can’t bear such disturbances of their re- pose, and whose ideas of what constitutes “a time’ cannot get ahead of what was the regular thing in that way about the days that Lafayette was here. The In- dustrial Exhibition will attract tens ef thousands, and it has been proposed that the 25th shall bea general holiday. Rachel will be here at the same time, so that her chance of making money may be put down as first rate. Great sales have already been made of tickets, and there will be * vast numbers ot persons go to see her who eould not from their own knowledge, tell whather she shall be talking in French or Hebrew. Indeed, it will be all Greek to them. Leaving foreigners aside, there may be a hundred or two persons in Boston and Cambridge who are capable of en- Joying a play by Corneille or Rasine. The rest will go for the fashion of the thing, and in that way aid to make Monsieur Felix happy. ‘The Boston Light Infantry, under the command of Cap- tain Rogers, editor of the Boston Journal, celebrated ‘their 67th anniversary on the 18th, in a very imposing manner. They dined at Parker’s new hotel, being the first company, civilor military, that has done so. The company was very full. This has been quite a military week, and many of our companies have come out with unusually full ranks. The aale of real estate on the 17th, did not bring #0 ‘much money as was expected. The property was valued at upwards of $600,000, and brought only some $426.000. Even after making an allowance for the property that was withdrawn, the sum realized must be considered small, as the greater part of the lands and the buildings were situated in the most flourishing parts of Boston, where such things of late years have advan sed at im- mense rates, and commanded almost any price asked forthem, [do not understand the cause of this compa- rative failure. The property withdrawn consists of about 10,000 square feet of land, and several houses on Oliver street and Hamilton avenue. It was withdrawn because of a suit in the United States Court, which cannot be de- cided at present. The work on Warren bridge goes on with vigor, and by ‘the commencement of the new year we shall have our full means of communication with our Charlestown neigh- bors restored. The bridge will be one of the finest structures of the kind ogre up in the United States. Gas has been carried to thriving “town of Newton, where so many of the business people of Boston reside.

There is, however, no making much of th predictions and sssertions that are now current, an which are as contradictory as the ions and prac tices of Christians I fancy that the adoption of the plu- rahty system will work changes that were little dreamed of by those who effected it. republicans deserve credit for the endeavors which they are making to send able men to the Senate. Soul | they elect their ticket. even their enemies will be able to find consolation in the reflection that competent men have been called to office in many tnstances. Mr. Hudson, Mr. Huntington, Mr. Boutwell, Mr. Upham, Mr. Borden, and’ others, who ” have ‘deen put in nomination by the new arty, are deserving of success on the score of talent. now Nothings and whigs, too, have made some excellent nominations. ‘The democrats have not been quite so fortunate; the only superior man nominated by them being Mr. Knowlton, of Worcester. He was a powerful advocate of that personal liberty bill which parsed the coalition Senate in 1852, but whieh failed in the House through « combination of whi and democrats di some of its details as the law title, its spirit was the same, and so was its intention.

The ‘tie Ward and County Committee of Boston have issued-an address to the democrats of Massachusetts. It is written by Mr. Vallett, and, therefore, must be well written; bat the country’ democrats are ‘already gra bling about the Boston folk troubling themselves concern- country voters. They think that it would better sing themselves in the position pon as a usurpation of the duties of the State Committee. That bod; the subject of an ad- dress before them at their Worcester meeting, and, by » vote of 11 to 7, refused to issue one.

It seemed as if there had n & mild snow storm, just enough to cover the ground handsomely, and no more. I could but think what a Diestirg such a thing would be @ few hundred miles nearer to the sun. There are marked indications, to-day, of a breaking up of the season, and of the occurrence of a storm, after which we shall see but few more days of “autumnal felicity.” It is stated that Capt. B.

It would not be surprising if its appearance were to lead to controversy, both as respects events of the revolution and those of our litical history after the Constitution went into opera- ion. John Adams occupies a very singular position in our political annals, for he offended the federalists with- out conciliating the democrats. It wlll be dificult to write his life without running afoul of somebody’y pre- Judices, and then will come controversies. There are two sides, too, to our revolutionary history, and Mr. Adams may be’ regar ied as not only having Bean’ pos ot the most prominent figures on one side, but as having stcod in direct opposition to some very eminent men of that great age in which our ndence was established.

ALGOMA. Particulars of the Destructive Fire in Rich- mond, [From the Richmond Whig, Oct. 19. About two o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out in the works! ir. John A. Belvin, in the rear of his furniture warehouse on Governor street, between Main and Franklin, and soon extended to several adjacent buildings, of combustible material, which were speedily consumed, The warehouse, workshops and stable of Mr. Belvin, the carpenter shop of Mr. James Yarrington, and the shop of Mr. Childresy, situated between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, were reduced to ashes in an incredibly short apace of time. The flames then communicated to the nee on the corner of Bank and Twelfth streets, (oceupied by the Young Guard as an armory,) and to the workshops of Messrs. C. D, Yale and Samuel Sutherland, in the rear of their respective establisments on Main street. While the attention of the firemen was occupied at these various points, it was discovered that the large and handsome edifice recently built by Mr. Wm. Ritter, and oceupied by Mr.S, W. Harwood as a furniture warehouse on Thirteenth street, was burning inside, the flames having already made considerable progress. ‘The firemen directed most powerfal energies towards saving this building, but without avail. The fire spread rapidly from the basement to the fourth story, consuming all in its way, and scarcely giving an opportunity to save any rtion of the stock. Ni but the bare walls were left standing. Very little valuable property was saved from the burning buildi rogress of tho conflagration, « dlatressing During the casualty occurred, which, it is ill result fatally, in the Mr. A. Arvell, senior, while actively formance of fireman's duty, was pie ee a chimney, and very badly injured. A xegro man Geer belonging to Mr. Winston, was bit by a brick and his skull fractured.

His physicians consider hi recovery a matter of extreme doubt. Mr. Arsell way one of the newly appointed fire wardens of the city. George Fox, the negro, was in a hopeless condition yesterday. Mr. Wm. Gouldin, Dr. Hancock, Dr, Little, and Messrs. P.M.

INSPECTION DAYS AND PARADES OF TARGET EX- CORSION COMPANIES. The past week hos been au interesting one to military men, growing out of the annual return of the inspection days, on which occasions the different regiments and companies compare notes, and see whether they haveim- proved or retrograded in appearance, numbers and drill. It must be confessed that the reviews this year have not ‘been so satisfactory as on former occasions. The accou- trements were generally in good order, and many of the companies show excellent drill, but the numbers this year was far less than was expected. This arises no doubt from the undue multiplication of military organi- zations in our midst, growing eut of the desire among too many persons to become officers. On Monday last the First Brigade paraded, as did also the 12th Regiment, the latter under its new commandant, Col, Richard French. The TIst Regiment, American Rifles, Col. Vosburg, and the 2d Regiment, under command of Capt. Darrow, were also inspected, the ranks generally being very slim, On Tuesday the Sixty-ninth regiment, Colonel Ryan, paraded for inspection, and was reviewed by General Ewing, after which they proceeded to Hoboken for field exercise. The Kighth regiment, Col. Lyons, accompanied by the Washington troop, Capt. Varian, was also out for inspection. The Ninth regiment paraded on Wednesday, under command of Col. Pitkin. It inspected over 250 men, and wan reviewed by Brigade-Major Cocks. This regimen’ shows some signs of improvement in military drill. On Thursday, the Seventh regiment, Col. Duryea, in- apected 650 men, and gave evidence of splendid drill. Our target companies, as usual, were not idle, but kept up a constant clamor in the neighborhood of our office: — The Manus Kelly Guards, commanded by Mr. Thomas Wallace, and numbering 112 muskets, proceeded to Hoboken for target practice on Monday last. This com- pany ix named after Mr. Manus Kelly, of the Seventeenth ward, and is composed principally of the bone and sinew of the young democrats of the ward, who turned out to do him honor, After returning from Hoboken, ae Hay ceeded to Tammany Hall, where they partook of r, after which the prices were distributed by Capt. Rynders, to the best marl belonging to the company. The captain, as usual, was very happy in his remarks in de- liver to each member his . The winner of the rat prize was P. Brady, who took a particular liking to a fifty dollar gold piece presented by Mr, Kelly to the company, The secend beat shot was Thomas W 5 On Monday last the Hudson Guard, composed of the residents of the Sixth ward of Brooklyn, commanded by Captain Thomas Kerrigan and accompanied by Manahan’s bund, visited the Weehawken Ferry Yeriion, Hey. Jor- sey, on their third annual excursion, numbering fitty mutkets and twenty prizes, Their appearance was high- ly creditable. The Red Fort Guard paraded for target prastice, on their eighth annual excursion, commanded by John A. Bradish, numbering sixty muskets and thirteen pioneers, headed "by Captain Thomas Lawrence. They visited the Weehawken Ferry Pavilion, where twenty valuable izes were awarded. On measuring the target the judges reported that 103 balls had passed through it. ie reputation of this company is 40 well known as to require no comment; suffice it to say they fully sustain- ed the justly merited commendation of all who witnessed rade, The Nice and Ranner Guard, from the Empire Tobaceo Works of Brooklyn, as also the Hibernia Guards, visited Mansion House, Hoboken, for target practice. They severally looked well, ‘The Madison Guards, Capt. P. O’Reily, composed of the members of No. 27 Hose Company, turned out on Monday, the 16th inst., for target practice; they numbered seventy uniforms, and their appearance was very fine. Their guests, of which there was a goodly nuinber, carried wenty-nine very §beautifu! prizes. Id watches, cake baskets, spoons, &e. They proceeded to Fort Lee, and the target bore evidence of how they employ art of their time there. The guards complain that the dinner, for which they paid a dollar, was a miserable affair, not worth « shilling. The Elliott Guards, Captain John Skillin, accompanied by Manahan's bond, went on their annual target excur- ion, October 18, 1855, to Pollock’s, Hoboken. They mustered sixty-eight muskets, and contended for thirty- eight valuable prizes. After returaing, they partook of a sumptuous supper at Mr. Williain Eliott’s, 166 East Twenty-sixth street. The Cross Guarda, Captain Donalison, numbering fift muskets, passed our office on Thursday evening, on their return from Clifton Park, Staten Island, accompanied by Robertson's band. They had a good time of it, excellent masic, capital shooting, and a frat rate dinner (without liquor). After about ‘twenty very valuable prizes were distributed among the crack shots, they returned to the ase peace with themselves, the world, and the rest of mal Lewis Reynold’s Guard, Capt. R. H, Welch, thirty-five muskets, ded to Paterson, N.J., on their second annual target excursion, where they contended for nine- teen prizes. Protective Volunteers, Capt. Geo, A. Moore, with Ro- bertson’s band, proceeded to Williamsburg last week. They oumber thirty muskets, and are attached to Eagine Company No. 2. ‘The Parker Guarda, under the command of Capt. Tho- mas Coady, paraded on Thursday, Oct. 18. After march- ing through the principal streets of the city they pro- ceeded to Bull's Ferry (or target practice. This company is componed principally of citizens residing in the First ward. ‘The Thirteenth Ward Guard, all Germans, Capt. Ernst Simon, proceeded on their first annual target excursion to Fast New York. They mustered fifty-one rifles, and the men attracted much attention by their soldier-like bearing and military drill. Their target was well riddled, and showed them to be excellent marksmen. The Walldence Guards, Captain A. Moore, turned out 42 muskets, and contended for 20 prizes, at Staten Island. On returning they passed the Henap office, and us with hearty cheers. They are « fine corps, and marched well and looked well. Liberty Light Guard proceeded to Hoboken, where they shot for 28 prizes, They turned out 60 muskets, and shot well, The Constitution Guards, Captain Hurley, belonging to Engine Company No, 7, turned out last week—number 66 muskets. John Scott Musketeers, Capt. Flyn, 40 muskets, went to loboken. Brooklyn Fagle Guard, Capt art’s band, went to Hoboken. The Fulton Light Guard, a company of boys belonging to Brooklym, went on their annual target excursion on the 15th The little fellows were well drilled, and marehed in good order.

The stock market yesterday was mach depre ‘The disposition to vel! all kinds and classes of stocks was strong, and but for the immense ball interest in the street much lower prices would, undoubtedly, have ruled. It is most extraordinary to see stocks which really have 80 little intrinsic value, s0 well sustained in the face 0 the present exigencies of financial affairs. Erie has com: menced receding: and the party carrying it. no matter what may be its collective or imtividnal strength, mast give way under the pressure, Whatever may be their means and ability to carry, their judgment must decide fr them that it would be folly to persevere in the hope that outside speculators would ultimately relieve them at higher prices. Under ordinary circumstances the combination might, from its inherent strength, have par tially succeeded, but now it is utterly impossible. Fancy stocks mast give way to the times, Speculation, for the present, {xs dead. The leading railroad stocks on the market are hell by strong cliques of capitalists, aod cortain classes may not be materially depressed Those which are steadily earning large dividents hare not inch to fear: bot those oocapying & precarious position, which are involved with heavy Hoating debts and em barrarted finances, which have heen struggling slog sustaining their credit by payting dividends beyou! thele carping», in the hope that something woold “turn up’ to extricate them from their difficulties, mast collapse under the pressure which must be feutized before the lapse of many months, sod expose to the world all their hideous rotteaness, The effect of » severe stringency snd revulsion in Gnameia! aMaicr would be to separate the wheat from the ehe® amt plise fn 9 proper position these compaaien whiel have for no many years Lesa de oriving thet: stockbotdert aad the public by all sorts of falsehoods aud misrepresentatioas. There probably is note dividend paying railroad stock in the country 49 Ubely to be driven to the wall under the approaching re vulsion as New York Central. The high prices cul- ing for this stock leave a wide margin for depreciation. Stocks more depressed am of less value may stand com- paratively steady, while those excessively inflated must inevitably be heavy sufferers. It ix’ the time for capitalists and smalt holders to overhaul their pocketbooks, and take the first opportunity to get rid of all doubtful and diseased securities, Money will be too valuable six months hence to be forced to let it lie idle in fancy stocks, or in stocks which at that time may be so largely depreciated as to require too great a sacrifice to reatize, Good sound, solid productive stocks are the only safe securities to holdin these times, We have no doubt that as the financial trouble on the other side increases, even our beat investments will fluctuate and depreciate in market value; but if their productive- ness is undisturbed or undiminished, the effect will be comparatively moderate, while on all stocks of a fancy character the fluctuations must be perfectly ruinous, particularly to that class of speculators who hol tha! kind of securities beyond their purse.

That institution has been drawing largely from the Bank of England at considerable expense, and it would be nothing strange for its agents to look to our stock of bullion for supplies to fill the vacancies caused by the drain for war expendituss and hoarding among the people, We must prepare ourselves for such a demand, if it has not already come, no matter what may be the position of our foreign trade or the extent of our shipments of breadstutfs, We are serai officially informed that there is. not a par- ticle of truth in the report circulated pretty freely in Wail street, on Friday, that the Galena and Chicago Rail- road Company contemplate making a new ixsue of 5,000 shares of stock, The anthracite coal trade ix slacking off a little, the tonnage by the three principal lines reaching only 117,751 tons, The whole tonnage for the season reaches, how- ever, the very large aggregate of 8,900,475 tons. For the week ending on Thursday last, the Reading Railroad brought down 51,205 tons, and for the year to the same time 1,052,658 tons. The Schuylkill Navigation Company brought down for the week 27,481 tons, and for the sea- son to the same time 893,047 tons. The Lehigh Naviga- tion shipped for the week ending on Saturday inst 38,975 nd for the year to the same time 1,054,870 tons. The increase on the Reading Railroad over last year's tonnage, to the same time, is 203,643 tons, The increased tonnage by the Schuylkill Navigation over that of last year to the same time, is 125,923 tons, The shipments of coal from Richmong, the Reading Railroad depot, last week, amounted to 30,546 tons ; total, this searon, 1,307,499 tons, against 1,153,915 tom to the same time last season.
