The President is surroun ed anc aiced bya great number of the proprietors and mot respectable inhabitants of the country. The towns which have fallen into the hands of Walker ard his accomplices have oeen abandoned oy their in- havitaats, He issued a barbarous decree ordering all those persons to return to their homes within a specified time, under certain penalties, amoan:ing to $10,000, to be doubled in the event of non-compliance tnerewith, without legal redress. None bave obeyed, and Walker bas taken possession of all the p operty ot the proprie- tors, both native and foreign residents, of said towns; but this baa nét furnished him with suy pecuniary resources, since he finds no purchss: rs ot confiscsted estates. The money derived from his treebooting expedition against Granada, aca the first contribution’ he succeeded in re- aliziog, bave already disappeared, squandered by the offi- cers of his band without any enefic to his soldiers, and what remained was carried olf by the inhabitants in ther flight. Walker does not pay a cent to his troops in money. The miserable rations they receive he provides by violence and extortion, esjoling the Americans with promises of realizing imsginary teeasures, and keeping the natives in subjection by extreme vigilance and terror. Among the adventurers who went irom California with tue imtenrion of joining Walker, several have repented of thew rashness and returned, after witnessing the threat- ening desolation cf the country. The few abandoned Nicaraguacs who, acting under vindictive impulses and a desire to command, invited 9 adventurers to join them. now deplore their error, an those deluéed persons who abetted their desigas, as wel aa the people generaily, have become aware of the ity of uniting to save the country. ser is surrounded by secret anc open enemies, who only await the receipt of arms ard munitions ot war to put hum down by force. “Such is the general ané spontaneous excitement at San Juaa el Norte that senor Amom Rivas, the oldest som of the person whom Gent, fitted out on his own account six pirogues, carry- icg eighty armed men, and went up the river with the object of retaking, iu the name of the legitimate govern- ment, Castillo Viejo and San Carlos.

Mr. Dillon, late Counsel to the Corporation, inquired what objection was rererred t» ? u Jucge Cowles stated it was the objection in relation to the area of the asressmeot. The counsel remarked that atthe time it w: neithe: tae Bench nor the Bar intimated any doubt whaveve about it; and that if the doubt was deemed worthy of an argument, he should wish (o be heard, Orcinari y the area of the assesement reats with the Commissioners, subject, however, to the proval of the Court, ana the Court would not ordi- narily interfere with it; but if the objections be taken, as in this case, that the area is too uacrow, the Court must pass upon it; and, therefore, Mr. Justice Roosevelt, whcse lands are upon the immediate border of the area, is directly interested in the determination of the objection.

Wevyasvay, Jan. 9—6 P. M. The stock market took the back track to-day. There were large sales at the first board of all the leading stocks, particularly of Erie and Nicaragua. The latter fell off largely, but rallied a little at the close. Virginia 6's declined 3% per cent; Missouri 6’s, {; Nicaragua Transit, 214; Michigan Central, 1: Reading Railroad, %: Cleveland and Toledo, 3g; Galena and Chicago, 3. Pana- ma Railroad sold at 101. dividend of six per cent off. State stocks were more active than usual this moraing. ‘There were large sales of Missouri 6's. The market as a whole was much depressed, and we are not in the least surprised, but om the contrary anticipated such a result. ‘So leng as the same class of operators have the market entirely to themselves, we cannot expect any improve- ment. Althongh most of them are large holders, they have no power to sustain prices. Being already well supplied with ali the leading securities, and subject at any moment to call for loans on bypothecation, sudden fluctuations are at any time likely to occur, and we may look for consi- derable irregularity during the next sixty or ninety ¢ays, or until a new class of speculators, with capital, come in and produce a better distribution of stock. The money market bas, for the past two or three weeks, been at times particularly stringent, and it will be some time before we can look for permanent ease. There will be without doubt an active demand for money throughout the spring months, and those engaged in mercantile pursuits have already commenced financier- ing fora probable stringency. There is very little doubt but that our markets will have amore active spring business than ever before known, and there is at present every indication of its being healthy and profitable. The importations have already commenced upon a very ex- tensive scale, and are likely to be unusually heavy. Some apprehensions are even at this early day entertain- ed that the large receipt of foreign manufactures may cause a more active exportation of bullion than we sha!l be prepared to meet, and that it may bring about a sud- den contraction in the banks when the commercial classes will be least able to bear it. We entertain no fears of that kind. The banks will have a sharp eye to their own interests, and move very cautiously in all their operations. It must be borve in mind that there has been during the past six months a great increase in the banking capital of this city, and the basis » therefore better for a larger aggregate of loans. Last year, the highest point reached was one hundred and one million of dollars. This year, we can put full ten millions on that figure, and the actual banking movement on capital be no greater. This would give us an aggregate of one hundred and eleven. These figures might frighten those who think because the banks have heretofore, with but one exception, always confined their discounts below the hundred million point, they never should go above it, and we may have all sorts of predictions, in the event of our highest figure being reached, that a collapse aud revulsion are sure to follow. It dees not strike us that there will be any serious dan- ger, even with such an expansion, With an increase in banking capital, there must be em increase in discounts and if the banks will confine their favors to the commer- cial classes, and let stock speculators take care of them selves, we should have less speculation and less fluctu, ation in stock securities, and fewer tailures among the merchants, The banks of this city have a margin for an increase of fifteen millions in the live of discounts before they reach an expansion equal to that of August last. This ia an item of no little importance—one which should be borne in mind when tne weekly reports of our banks appear and comparative statements made. At the second board, the market was a shade or two better, Nicaragua Transit recovered nearly all the de- cline at the first board, ana the sales were very large. Erie was a little higher. Cotnpared with prices current in the morning, there was an advance in Nicaragua of 2 per cest. Northern Indiana Goshen line bonds, 1, New York Central railroad, 34; Erie, 34. Chicago and Rock Inland railroad declined *4 per cent; Michigan Central railroad, 1%. ‘The Aatistant Treasurer reporta to day as follows :— Paid on treasury account... ... $82,614 86 Received on treasury account » 165,966 15 Palance on treasury account. 2,619,053 Paid for assay office. a 850 id on cisbursing checks... 18,268 36 ‘The warrants entered at the Treasury Department, Washing‘on, on the 5th inst., were as follows :-— For the redemption of stocks $8,101 89 ent. epartment A.

In the Supreme Court at Boston yesterday, there was another hearing in the matter of the Grocers’ Beak. The receivers made a detailed report re'ative to the con- dition of the bank. As shown by the beoks on the 29th ot November, the liabilities were $1,375,874 33, and the assets $1,570,864 62, This statement is copied from the books of the bank. The receivers, after a caretul exami_ nation of the different accounts, make the total liabilities $1,626,673 97, and the total assets— including $125,000 secured to the bank by P. E. Kingman, the late cavhier— $1,522,740 69, The amount immediately available for payment of the liabilities is $239,063 78. In regard to the over issue of stock, the report states that thus far it does not appear that any exists. At one time there was an over issue of 284 shares, upon which a dividend was paid in April, 1855. ‘The Hartford and New Haven Railroad Company will pay on the 15th inst, an extra divicend of five per cent. ‘The surplus earnings or dividend fand of this road on the Ist September last amounted to $415,326, or rather more than seventeen and one-balf per cent on the capital stock. A large portion of the stockholders were strongly in fa- vor of an extra dividend of ten per cent, but the majority decided that fitteen per cent in cash was enough to divide inone year. This road bas # double track throughout its whole length, and its construction account is closed. It has no floating debt, and its outstanding bonds amount to less than a million of dollars, with twenty years to run, at six per cent interest. We learm from the message of Governor Morehead, of Kentucky, to the Legislature, that the receipts into the State treasury for the fiscal year ending the 10th of Oc- tober, 1855, amounted to $883,707 49; to which the ba- lance in the treasury on the 10#n day of October, 1854, of $111,720 31, added, will make the sum of $995,427 80, The expenditures, including the transfers to the sinking and school funds, amounted to $639,996 25—leaving in the treasury on the 10th of October, 1855, the sum of $255,731 55. The State cebt is $5,991,576 73. Of this amount $600,000 are held by the Southern Bank of Ken. tucky, the interest upen which it is bound to pay, and for which the State lolds that amount of stock, and $1,269,€64 75 are held by the Board of Education, the in- terest upon which only may be considered a perpetual charge upon the sinking fund. The actual debt, the principal of which has to be provided for, is, there- fore, $4,021,912. There is now a balance of $316,816 22 on hand belonging to the sinking fund, which the Gover- nor recommends shall be used in the purchase of State bonds. The Rochester American says the following statement shows the amount in value of the imports and exports at the port of Genesee, during the three quarters of the year since the opening ot navigation:— Value, 201 Imports in American vessels. «Foreign Total imports...... «++ $1, 684,819 Exports iu American vessels $66,550 wo Foreign 67,477 Total exporte., se eeeeee 744,087 The imports consisted principally of breadstuffs, fish and woo). The exports of manufactures of wood, (farni_ ture, &c.,) iron, unmanufactured tobacco. Durivg the last quarter the expor‘s of furniture amounted to $31,- 740, Aconsiderable quantity is sent away in the white— as dealers express it—before being stained. The iron ex- ports during the same time were $48,935 in value. Fo- reign vessels do the largest part of the carrying trade. The Boston Journal of the 8th instant, says:— ‘The only change in the Boston stock market during the Jast week, worthy of note, is the advance in bank shares and two or three of our leading railways. Bank stock las recovered nearly all of tne popularity lost by the break down of the Grocers’, and people ate not now 4 «posed to condemn all bank stock merely because in the course of years one or two happen to prave unsound. Fitchburg Railway has advaneed to 75; Providence to 65%, and Lowell is scarce at 6334, dividend off. On the other hand, Maine and Worcester have materially declined, the former welling on Saturday at $234, and the latter at $4. ‘The policy of withholcing dividends for » time, in order to pay off floating debts, and place the corporations ina stronger finaneial porition, though bearing with especial severity on the stockholders of moderate means, who de- pend upon dividends partially for support, is neverthe- Jews pow1 nized as the true principle, and whoever can afford to hola their investments until the design is accomplished, will find in the increased market value of their stock and in its greater safety and reliability an ample recompense for the vexatious interruption of in- come. Thus we observe in the case of the Fitchbu road, a decidedly more confident feeling as to its real value, based upon recent statements, which show that at length it has nearly reached the desired point. in the Providence, too, although like the Fitchburg, dividends have been withbeld for more than a year, there is marked improvement for the same reason. We are disposed to give both sides of every question. Theannexed communication from a stockholder in the Michigan Central railroad, places certain matters before tre public in a new light. If they can derive any con- solation from its statements, it will afford us some plea sure. Itstrikes us that the writer does not make ont a very clear case. MicaiGay CentRat Rartroap. To rae Eitor o Tis HERALD:— ‘As a stockholder of the Michigan Central Railroad Company, I have looked over the reports of the compa- ny fiom time to time as they have been issued, and the last one with somewhat of a feeling ot gratification at the prosperous condition of the company. I was there- fore a little “taken aback” by the serious way in which “a stockholder” in your paper of to-day asks certain questions, which, if ‘serious, shows that instead of a teeling of gratification in reading the report, he is filled with alarm at not finding that all the immense net earn- ir gs or the company for the past six months, ave lying idie on band in the shape of cash. For myself, I was gratified to find that but $35,471 11 was thus lying isle in bank, But, says the startled enquirer, how can they pay a cividend of $360,000 with only $35,000 on hand in cash?

I am gratitied im thus being able to cypher away my rising alarm, and trust the figures will be equally soothing to the anxious enquirer. ANOTHER SfOCKHOLDER, ‘The Philadelphia Zedger gives the annexed information elative to the measures n‘ceseary to be taken to seeure a continuous line of railroad from Philadelphia to St. Louis:— An effort is making to form an unbroken railroad con- nection from this city henee to St. Louis, To do this, it is neces ary to carry to completion the Pittsburg and Steubenville railroad, which is some forty miles in lengh. The company itself is in a very crippled condi- tion, and the next most acvisable step seems to be to lease this incomplete portion of the contiauous line to some parties who will finish and equip it. The part looked to for the accomplishment of this desired end {s the Pennsyivania Railroad Company. Tae city of Pitts burg, through its Councils, has @ voice in the busin and hence the discussion of the matter in the newspapers, ‘The Union. Journal and Post advocate the adoption of the proposal, and the firs’ named paper pudlishes a copy of the lease, which it states is intended to take effect on the first of January. The substance of the lease may be briefly given thus:—The railroad, with all ite rights, franchises, privileges, real estate, &., 18 Jeased to John Edgar Thomson and his associates for twenty years, who agree to take the available assets of the company, and finish the road with a sngle track fiom Jones’ Ferry, opposite the city of Pi:tsburg, to the Ohio river, opposite Steubenvilie, and to erect all the necessary ¢ and buildings, stations, water and por ood houses, sidings, switches, and turnouts, as soon as practicable; the who'e to be Lage toni under the cirection of chief engineer of the company, on or before the Ist day of January, 1857. The Steuban- ville Railroad Company agrees that, should the cost of the road exceed $200,000, for the payment of the com- pany's debts and completien of the roadway, $355,000 to finish the superstructure, and $66,000 to pay one year’s interest on the stock of the company, the rail read corporation sball issue its tiable notes for an amount sufficient to purchase the necessary rolling stock and a ae or to pay the same in cash, After the completion of the work, the lessees are to have the use of it for nineteen years, retaining fifty-five per cent of the gross earnings for the working expenses, and aa much wore a# may be necessary, if that is not enovgh, the remainder going to secure the payment of the sume required to finish the work. The railway com- pany agrees to procure, from the city of Pittsburg and tle county of Allegheny, the assignment of their stock to the trustees named in the mortgage for the purpose of, annually, during the term of the lease, elesting as presi¢ent and directors of {he company, such persons ax +boll te nominated by those holding a majority of the mortenge bonds and notes of the company, until le; tive authority can be procured relieving the leas lity in operating the road under tue lease that the road. ns it now stands, has cost more than a million of dollars, and that ‘ mount to $980,000, while it wi $646,000 to pan the debts of the com ‘and complete the road. tically this lease wi convey the work to the Pennsylvania Railroad ee and extend our great central line to Steubenville. lessees agree to Pay six per cent per annum on ali the stock held by the city of Pittsburg, county of Allegheny, individnals, &c., until 1 to permit any citizen of Pittsburg or county to become an associate with them, who witl sub- seribe and pay in, as called for, before the firat of Feb: ruary, 1866, not less than one thousand dollars. Before the ‘agreement becomes binding on either party, the assent of the Councils of Pittsburg and the Commissioners of Allegheny county shall be formally obtained thereto, and tbey shall, by ordinance, provide for the passage of the railroad through the si'y, in such mauner as will enable the company to connect by rail with the 1. vanis Railroad, and the other roads leading from the city east ward, either at the foot of Liberty street, or by a tunnel through Grant's Hill to the passenger depot of the Pennsylvania Railroad on that street. ReapinG Rartroap. To Tae Epior oF THE HERALD:— 11s now over a year since the buslnees and prospects of the Reaaing Railroad were presented to the citizens of the city of New York. At that time the stock was heli in the market by a few incividuals at 59 to 60 per cent, Now, with a)l its earnings and numerous advant be- fore ‘the people, it is hanging in the market upon the skirts of ita illustrious cotemp sraries, at 93 to 933. In the meantime, however, the “ownership” has changed, and instead of resting in the hands of aboat fifty-five persons who held it for fancy operations, it ix now per. manently | ‘with 246 persons, who Icoked into the condition of the work and secured the stock for perma. nent income. One gentleman, with whom we are fa- miliar, purcha+ed 100 ehares’on tne Oth of Junuary, 1855, at 69 per cent, costing him $3,450. On the 17th 0 the ‘same month he received 10 per cent dividend in stock, now worth $46 in July. had another dividend of 4 per cent in cash, which on 110 shares netted $222, making $687, or about 13 per cent on his investment. But as the price has advanced to 93 per cent, he can this day close up his account with a clear gain of 2, equal to 68 per cent upon the original cost. ‘This result, it will be understood, is but the return of 100 -hares; andas we have balanced the account and pocketed the difference, we must look at the prospect of & re-investment. ¥ In the monthly statements, as officially given, it av- pears that the earnings of the road are equal te a divi- dend of 14 per cent on the stock, with a surplus of 7 to 8 per cent. This excess, which ‘properly belongs to the stockholders, it is understood will be appropriated to the liquidation of the floating debt, and the amount in stock will be returned to the stockholders some time during the present fiscal year. It is also known that the net re- ceipts tor the year just closed, are $500,000 over the re- ceipts of 1854"; and from the various connections, and the otherwise increared facilities for business, it is be- lieved the inerease in 1856 over 1856 will be considerably in advance. Yet, it we limit the business to the presen’ income—which no one familiar with the operations of the work will be unwilling to concede—we have an ample margin for believing that the price of the stock must ad- vance to 120 per cent. With less prospect, and certainly less income, we have cotemporary works at a higher figure ; and'as all the advantages are before the public, we view the work in a better condition for the advance than it was in the beginning of 1855. We, therefore, be- lieve in the following, and present it with more confi- cence than we did in the beginning of 1855. Say we in- vest as follows:— Jan. 8, 1856—Bought 100 shares Reading at 93 rk | Laem enhy eee ee + s+ $4,650 00 Receipts from dividends mow due, 10 per cent. oa $500 Receipts ivi 4 700 Receipts from sales, Jan. 8, 1867, at 130 per OME .f, eke Ae +. ++1,850-3,0:0 00 —Fqual to 65 per cent on the money invested.
