Wut the “cullud men’s” is in her infancy here, THALBERG Iv PmLapmiriga —The Evening Bulletin, of Saturday, says:— There bas never been a audience in Concert Hall than that of last ovening, and never one that united so much of the intelligence and taste of Philadelphia.

The Common Council. ‘This being the last session of the Board of Aldermen as at prosent ccnstitated, a desperate effort will be made to do some things that they have jeft undone during their legislation. It is to be hoped they will do something to redeem themselves, and mo doubt they will, in order that the retiring members may have even « reed on which to rest their claims for future suffrages. We ox- Pect @ lively time this evening on the subject of the ap- pointmert of Commissioners of Deede—a political and Partizan ‘job which we hope the Mayor will not sanction, Gentiemen have been superseded without cause, and in the face of reason and justice. In iarge establishments, where » Commissioner of Deeds was required, more for convenience than the paltry emclument, the committee have in their report removed such ® man and put Tom, Dick_cr Harry ia bis piace. We shall be much mistaken if the Mayor wili not send this precious document back for equitabie, honest and just amendments. The Board of Councilmen commence their December setsion this evening at & o'clock. ‘The December Term of the Law Courts. On Saturday the business of the November term ter- minated, and (0 day we commence another. As the year draws to @ close, parties who have been unfortunate enough to be on the calendars for a lengthened period will be anxious to have their cases disposed of, and wo may expect a great ruah in the various courts during this, the Jast month of 1866. We hope that before the elapse of another year the Common Council of New York will fee fit to provide the community with suitable accommo- dation for the Halls of Justice, the business of which is now being transacted in smail, miser- able, badly ventilated apartments, mot as caps- cious or as comfortable as one of the halls in the dwelling house of apy of the judges or clerks of the court: Im the United States Circuit Court we may expect to have Judge Neleon’s decision in the case of the proposed Albany bridge across the river Hudson, the merits and demerits of which were argued before him last term. In ‘this court there is pending very !mportant suit, involy- ing an immense amount of property, estimated at more then baif a million dollars, and whieh will also test the question of jurisdiction over foreign consuls. It ie the case of Grabam against Meyer & Stucken, which was for- merly commenced in the Superior Court of this city, but the defendant, Mr, Stucken, being Consul General of the Kingdom of Hanover, a plea to the jurisdiction of the ‘State Court was entered, ard the case was transferred to the federal authorities. Here, too, Mr. Stacken demure, ‘and says that the United States courts have no juriediction Over « foreign const), This is rather @ novel poiat, but we have yot to learn why foreign consuls doing business as merchants and bankers in the city of Now York, should be exempt frem the jurisdiction of the United Gates authorities. It appears thet in December, 1806, Meyer & Stucken agreed to loan Graham $100,000 for four months om the security of the steamships Ocean Bird, St. Lawrence, and the United Btates—worth over $400,000—for which loan he was to pay ® bonus of $25,000. The loan was to remain in the banda of the defendants, subject to the drafts of Gra- bam tn favor of mechanics and others who heid lieas on the property. Thus ® monetary account commenced between the parties, which eventuates in = dispute as to ite Acourscy and its intent, the defendants claiming that the money advanced by them was not & loan, but was for the parchase of those three wieamahipe—ihe Ocean Bird, $65,000, the St. Law. renee, $35,000, and the United Sates, $10,000— making ‘m all $100,000. The transaction is purely mercantile and financial, such as \* every mouth occurriag in this great community; but the most important featare in the case is ‘the demurrer to the jurisdiction of the United States over ® foreign Coneu), The sooner this question is setéled the better. Im the United States District Court there will be the usual amount of offences on the high seas for trial, and the decision in the case of the forfeiture of the alleged slaver Panobita may also be looked for. Mr. De Costa, charged with fitting out the slaver Braman, who escaped trom custody, bag not since been heard of. ‘The Supreme Court, General Term, will be resumed this month, but the Supreme Court Circull bas been ad- jourved to the 8th {nstant, in consequence of the absense ot Judge Peabody, who is presiding at the Raker trial, in Newburg, sad the mistakenYparsimony of Comptrolier Flagg, who refures to pay the expenses of a neighboring Judge who may be willing to come and as silat the justices of New York. Mr. Flagg refased to pay ‘a just Dill of expenses of Judge Strong for attending here on an emergency, and thue the trials pending in the Otr- cult Court are postponed for a week, t> the inconvenience of the members of the bar and the annoyance and ex- pense of the suitors, In the Superior Court there still remain a great many cagea on the calender—actions againat public companies and suite for slander. The Rey. Mr. Pennington (a gen. tleman of color) brings an aotion in this court against the Sixth Avenue Railroad Company to test the right of color. ed people to travel in the city cars. In the Common Pleas two trial branches will be held, and no doubt the calender will be rapidly reduced. Se. veral cases argued at General Term wore decided by the Justices on Saturday. The Marine Court, since {ts increased jurisdiction, has become & very important branch of our legal depart- mont. The three Judges have beem hearing causes all the past month, and presiding at General Term on Saturdays.

The movements upon the Stock Exchange seem to ind!- cate a perfect disregard of the approaching crisis a Eu- rope. The speculator, only alive to the facilities he cau , command, and the banks to the opportunities a‘orded them to get interest for money which does not belong to them, violate every sound principle of finance, and set at cht the ordinary dictates of prudence and common The news from Europe admonishes commercial men that « great revolution ia at band—tbat money ie to become more vaiuabie—that liquidation and contraction can no longer be avoided or evaded, and that every part of the financial horizon is overshadowed by clouds por- tending the coming storm. Our speculators sey that we are prosperous and healiby, and can show an indifference to foreign difficulties. At omce our banks expand; stocks of all kinds advance. Men congra- tulate each other om ’Change at these evidences of our Prosperity, and thus the matter ends for the day, ‘The signs of the times show incontestibly that much is not to be the case; and we hazard nothing im declaring that the direct contrary is Row certain to overtake us im our fancied security. Tt is an absurd idea to suppose that the transactions on the Stock Exchange are in any way the reflex of public sentiment in respect to values or investment. Whatever they may bave been in years, when railroad en- terprises were qxperimenis, they are so no longer. The Btock Ex {s the playground of « few shrewd de- signing men, who with vast resources at their control, belonging to other people, and a large amount of bold- Bess created by their successes in electing themselves to the mapagement of cnormous corporations, engage in the game of hazard just as long and just as often as they can borrow money fom the banks, or from a careful survey of the Wusiness of the street they can see the way clear to produce what in Wall street is called a corner. The valne of money bas notbing to do with fancy stocks, only.so far as it can bo had, or otherwise when men are in the’ bumor to trade in them. The price to- day of New York and Erie, ef New York Central, or Michigan Southern, ia noevidence whatever that they are ‘wanted for investment, or that the public views with an- concern the approaching fiancia! and political disorders of the Old World. Those familiar with Wall street are not deceived by the quotations of the day, sill! less by the superficial and designediy deceptive state- mente of many of our cotemporaries. We have the daily evidence that the public Judge for themselves, and are no longer the dupes of adroit schemers who have for #0 many years been successful in foisting off their rotten merchandize upon thoughtless investors. For the pasttwo years stocks ard bonds have notoriously in- creased in speculative hands to an enormous extent, The volume of New York Central has quadrupled in Wail streot in asingle year, The same may bo said of the Michigan Southern and several other railroad stocks, As for the Erie, it has become what the Hensty baa for years Predicted—the common football of every man who is peized with s disposition to give anything « speculative kick. It has, we fear, no other fature than had the Hud- son River and the Harlem, as will be shown to = de monstration from the forthooming report of !:s opera- ona for the past year. 11 sa the common hourly talk upor the Stock Exchange of Wall street, that the late advance in the various fancy stocks enumerated {n our dally reporte has been produced dy the same ret of speculators who have made one-half of the transactions at the board for the past year, and idle suspicion, but a Known fact. Their daily habite of Dusiness are perfectly well understood—the brokers em- ployed clearly and unmistakeably known, and by no means and England \e simply absurd. that are announced on the other side of the find their corresponding panic and disorder stocks most exposed to be injured by there changes those where the managers bave made themecives Any panica or disorders spiewous upon the Stock Exchange, and are laboring imdustriously to produce an artificial price the stock rather than w be looking after ite business and superintending its finances. ‘The truth i# that the public have not and do not buy them, and will not buy them, no matter what may be the state of the money market; and {t is equally true that no one knows the fact better than there cliques of speculators themserves. It is now a struggle for their re-catabliah- ment—nothing more. If by « seeming demand, daily worked up at the Stock Exchange, » favorable fooling can be effected, there is nothing gained, and the expense of such operations is very great. Thus far {t haa only bad the efiect to compel them to remain the buyers and to add daily to their burthena, It seems « kind of re- tributive justice, Each day they (ind their own load bo- coming heavier, while that of the community is becoming lows, If any man or set of men who have sold railroad property—of their own manofacture—could be canght in ‘Wall street, and be thus made to swallow their own phy- sic after the concerns have been fodded with debt, like the New York Central, Michigan Southern and others, what & biersing it wonld be, Those who have sympathized with us in Our efforis to ee justice done in all these matters have now only to exercise « little patience. We look upon the result a certain, and calmly wait the moment for tis execution.

The Lancaster Expres states that, between Friday of last week and Tuesday last, the Lancaster Bank bad re- deemed about $60,000 of its notes in payment of debits due the bank, thus discharging ite liabiiities to that amount. The Newburg Gazette, speaking of the franklinite mines, says ‘that they karn that errangements are on foot for the establiehment at that place of one of the most extensive tron works in this country. The sagacious men whoareat the head of this enterprise foresee that the day is not far distant when the coal read to the river Delaware will be ‘Dduilt, and from that moment, as we have often said, New. burg will begin to be the great central point of the iron and zinc manufacture of the United States.”” The railroad alluded to te the Sussex and Warren, which is !ptended to unite with the Newburg branch of the Erie at Chester, and from tbebce runping through the mmeral region of Sussex county till it strikes the Delaware, and tapping the coal road to Scranton. This road will add immensely to the value of real estate at Newburg, transporting about 500,000 tons of coal from the coal fields of Peansylvania, ‘and 200,600 tons frarklinite zinc and magnetic tron ores, which are in great abupdance in the neighborhood of Franklin. It costs the New Jersey Zinc Company for transportation via the Morris Canal nearly $60,000 per annum ; by this route the same quantity of ore could be landed at Newark for $20,000.
