In the consideration of tnis subject, it must not be lost sight of, that the estab tshment of these ‘Mnee of ships of our own to foreign ports, is but an exten- sion of that system of railroad connections with the inte- rior of our own and States, s icy, jd of tne State aad it ference in fayor of the shipe—that their construction, equipmsnt and ma- “are the result of unaided private enterprise, railroads have both received large contribu- tions of money from the public treasury. and been ex- guped from taxation by special acts of the Leglile- re. Iv is wlso entitled to much weight in the consideration ef this subject—that while ships contribute largely to ‘the general prosperity by the commerce which they bring ‘to cur eity, and their er ee which ate eos rey expended among us, they visit our port ba‘ 1 a fur not mere then @ few weeks at a ime, and in cave of disaster, even from fire, they enjoy, toa limited extent only, the protection of tne city; and their occupation be- 4g to pase from eountry to country, and port to port, ‘they ave exposed, un'ike real estate, and other local aod manent investments, to be everywhere taxed, through medium of port charges, svd other du+s even more Durthensome, from none of which would a tax at howe exemp: them. It cught not be denied that ships earn, by their ht, @ Jarge sum snnually in propor.ioa to the capital 51 ted; but we must not fall int» the error of confounding gross receipts with profits. Ey z For example—a ship that will earn $40,000 per anaum fre- quently expends amongst our own citizens in the form of disburrements, all that is let after Cedactiag expenses abroad, without leaving any profit to tue owner, aad the net gains, too, it must not be forgotten, have a: last to ‘be bardened with the replacement of the ship, wich is finally worm out and worthiees. These enterprises on ‘the part of our eitizens, therefore, can only be regarde, ‘ap to this time, in tne light of experiments, whose results, so far as the owners are ouncerned, are still uadeter- mined. We have hitherto confined our remarks to our f shipping alone, but we respectfally submit, whet im re'erence to that class of vessels en; in the coasting and river trade, the proposed taxation may mot be consicered in s still greater degree onerous and impolitie. It is well known that, for many years, thts State was almost entirely dependent on the Norch in this domestic trade, un'il political dangers produce ia popular feeling in favor cf our own vessels; and mow. under the proposed law, these wil be Upon & w ree footing than rival vecsels from other States, unless the owners, @riven cut of the city by this kequality, suould sesk a Pym elsewhere, that they may be enrolied among favored class. Your memoriaiista, influenced by the considerations herein set forth, respectiuliy solicit the reconsiceraiion of this subjest by Council, as involving comsequeaces of . Momentous import to the commercial and othe: iaterests ofthe city. They earnestly ceprecate the imposition of this tex; they regard it ae & rota! reversal of the whole policy cf the State and city, being s discriminating bar- ‘hem operating agsinst our own ships, and in favor of ‘the stranger.

Four Men Burted Alive. PARTICULARS OF THS RESCUE —GREAT EXCITEMENT IN THE MUSKINGUM VALLEY. [From the Columbus, Onio, Sta‘esman, May 11.) Ihave just returned from a fying trip to the Muskin- gum valley, and will give you aa sccount of the burial ‘and resurrection of the four persons who hay? been for over @ fortnight shut up in one of the Blue Rook hills. The reseue Was accomplished at one o’clock eg morning. The caving of the coal bank by whieh they were shut in took place two weeks ago last Friday, at about eleven o’cl im the morning. The men had gone into the bank very early in the morn day, 80 have been shut out from light and pure air for pearly Co They had only one dinner, and afer being shut up, found the Sane of ae man, who had, with sixteen others, a risk, barely the Tt is not tree that ‘th lamp oil. y had but little of it. of the men some of the oil to relieve his throat, which had become very sore from drinking water. that the marvel remains of four rescaed after two weeks’ deprivation of tood good air; and notin very bed condition either, considering. the highest Heh all alon gt ip pokey e jong m Zanes- wiles Maxotte, There hes never been leas than Bre ucd—all wrougat u excftement, On Suneay last there farm house slong the ov: vedi ares eae coger are every return! ister; and Zatti has bec in an fo has been painfully pyro Drab the glad air, the whole city seemed alive with joy and ity of the accidentis on the west side of the the caving extended tance; so that when the work of rescue began the men were a hundred yards from sunlight in every direction. The cause cf caving was the unskilifal manner ia which the bank was worked. Instead of werking the vein, which wass four acd half feet vein—to the ordin width of about twelve ieet, and leaving at short interv: pillars of ten feet square to support the superincambent Tass of rock and carih—there were large rooms made and few pillars left, sad those «mall; so that when tho crash came, which it dtd with a report thet sounded to the men like thunde:, it fairly pulvarized the and into fregmen's the rocks above. Upon ‘the top of the hili there were found ezevives wids enough for a man’s leg, ara perceptibly extending twenty or thirty feetdown. Perhaps these crevices supptied the men with pure air, and thus eusbled them to support themeelyes with comparative evse, Again, the caving began at the mouth and ran inwerds, abuttiog in, por- haps compressing the air. There was considerable room for the men to exercise in, notwithstanding the extent of the caving. The persons who were thus entombed, are mamed Fdgin, Savage, Pearson and Getwood. Pearson is an oldman snd Savages boy about 18 years. The old roan suffered most; the boy lesst from exhaustion. Edgin and Pearson had famiies, who were constantly present under an almort insane agony of mind. ‘The work of rescue was a herculian work, but bravily ken and heroically consummated. It was the more difficult as but about eight men could work at a time. There were eighty men constantly laboring and night, relieving each other in gangs. The progress was slow, and became slower the farther they went into the bank; so thet since Sabbath last not mors than a foot an rept whee Bg aa as Br qrese fed inter. rupted by the rock » and by the impure air, which put cut tbe ‘guts? t Letit be known tnat these heroic workmen were in constant peril of their lives in all the fortnight’s work. Of course they ba’ prepped up with timber as they worked in, but at times the timber bext like s reed un- er the immense Breesure, ‘and at times gave way. The fragmentary condition of the rock prevented the work- men from making themselves secure. They could not work without light, and when, on Sunday, they had cut in 236 and were about to deapsir, owing to the bad atmosphere and the counsels of some who thorght it too late to save the men, they took new vigor and new hope, and stills] on until Fridsy, when the attention the workmen was arrested by s knocking within. .

The first intelligible question pro- pounded by the insiders w: “Was anybody kilied by the caving?’ “Noms,” sald the workman. “Hurrab! hurrah!’ was heard frem within. This jubilee of the entombed was reported outside to the crowd, Who responded to it by ® spontaneous hurrah of their own, It seemed that the men had picked their way sone twenty feet within the rocky firsure and were enabled to converse pretty freely. The workmen warnsd them to retire within, as they were in imminent dauger. Bdgin eatc he woudn’t budge till they told them ~hat was the day and hour, and bow long they hed bea shut in. ‘The workmen told him that he had only beea in «a week; that it was Friday—eceiving him, as they supp2sed, for his own goot ard tha’ of companions. Eigm then told them to say to their ‘amilies and friends, that if they cidn’t get out they were ready to die happity, hav- ing made their peace with god.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Wepxuspay, May 14—6 P.M ‘The stock market took an upward turm thle morniog. The improvement was quite general and of a decided character. At the first board Dlinois Central bonds ad- vanced 1% per cent; Pennsylvania Coal Company, %; Erie Railroad, 3; New York Certral Railroad, 14; Cum- berland, {; Harlem, 4; Ulinois Centra) Ratlroad, %; Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati Railroad, %; Read- ing, %; Michigan Southern, %{; Cleveland and Toledo, %. ‘The transactions were large and buyers plenty. There was a tale of Erie, seller twelys months, at 56 per eent. The buyer is already « large holder and representa strong parties. Reading was in very active demsnd to- day at the improvement. A day er two since, when nearly sll the leading stocks on tho Ust could hays been bought from a half to one per cent below current prices, the market was dull and there were no buy- ers, The month of June will bring an essy money market and higher prices, The siringeacy in money matters, which is now gradually subsiding, wili, with out doubt, be the last for months, In enother week or two financial affairs will move along again in the ueual channels, and thus we may look fo a steady improvement during the dull business sesscu Tkroughout the past two weeks there has been s goou deal of activity in bonds. The changes have been nume. rous and frequently sudden. It camact be said thats any time du:ing the movement money was psrti>uiarly searce. The market was active without be'ug tight. The banks may not let out loans to the extent : yorteda few weexs since, but in the absence of # demand for dis- counts the present limit will give ofall supply. An ag- gregete amount of loans of one handrei million tn Jane and July, would meet the wants of the community toa greater extent than au amount ten per cent larger in March or April. The heavy payments are now over for the season, and money will accumulate in the hands of the mercantile classes. As it sccumnlates in their hands it will create @ disposition to operate in the stock msrket, and the effect will soon be visible in prices. “hs mer- ebants are at times heavy specuiators on the 5.ock Ex- change. They employ their surplus capttal in tuat way, instead of letting it remain in the bauks for the mans gers of these institutions to use it for the same ,urpose. The purchase of good sound dividend paying stocks is a legitimate use for capital. In thet way it will earn something, ard is easily eonvertible into money whea wanted. At the second board the market was better through- out. Erie advanced 4 per cent; New York Gentral, 3;; Reading, ; Michigan Soathern, 34; Cleveland and Toledo, 4; Camberiand, %; Canton Co., 3); Hudson River Rait- road, 3{.

It ne.4s no prophetie eye to discern that the La Crome and Milwau- kie ‘Iron. with its tributaries now in operation and those acon to be put in operation, will command the trade of Northern and Northwestern Wisconsin, and moke it what its friends have always claimed it would be, “The Grand Trunk Raiircad of Wisconsin.” The Jast annual circular of Edward Khale, bullion broker, of Melbourne, gives the annexed exhibit of the product of gold in the colony of Victoria during the year 1855, and in each of the previous three years:— Propucnow oF GOLD IN VicToRIA, Asertained Unrecorded Total Price Ounces. _ Ounces, Ounces. peroz.

Some of the machinery does the pulverising of the quartz satisfacto- rily, but the great desideratum is the ex:racting the gold by the prosees of amalgamation. Notwithstanding the number of men of Californian and of continental expe- rience, who profess a competent knowledge of the process, there is stlil evidently wanted the chemical amii y t waccersfully combat with the foreign metals contained in the gola- quartz. Were a perfect process of ex tracting the gold discovere}, the amount of £10,000, moved for im counsil by cone of the members trom the gold fields, would be a pal.ry recompense when compared with the amount of benefit to be de:ived from such process. It the amount be granted we hope that sufficient time will ba grven, that scientificmen from all parts of the globe may be induced to compete. From inquiies made ‘we estimate the production of gxld from quartz to be under 20,000 ounces—amell in smount when the ex‘eat ot the machinery employed is taken into account. We hope to be able to give a more sat! tory account of this process twelve months hence, if spared to record the fifth year of our gold produce.
