Police Intelligence. STORMING A DUTCHMAN'S GROCERY—DRFEAT OF THE ASSAILANTS—ONK OF THKM SHOT. The grocery store of Adam Honyman, corner of Eleventh street and avenue B, was the scene of a lively :fght on Wednesday night. A party of rowdies entered the store and in an insolent tone demanded crackers and cheese for the crowd. The grocery man refusing to fur- nish the gentlemen with the desired edibles unless imme- diate payment was made for the same, the wrath of the vrowdies became terrible to witness. They at once com- menced an indiscrimivate attack upon the proprietor of the store and his wile by precipitating weights, measures, empty bottles and a variety of other articles at their ‘heads. in vain Honyman endeavored to pacity the indig- nant ones, and at las: he was compelled to draw a pistol in defence of his life and property. The weapon was tired into the crowd, when the charge took effect upon one of the number, named Luke Wisely, wounding him severely about the bead, neck and face. At this juncture two of the Ele- venth ward police, Messrs. Tilden and Hack, arrived at ‘the scene of the disturbance, and by the most strenuous eflorts they manages to quvll the riot. Wisely anda com- pauion of his, named Philip MeGuire, who appeared to the ringleaders of the gang, were taken into custody arched off to the station house, where they were locked up for the remainder of the night. Upon an examination ‘of Wisely’s head it was found that he was not dangerously wounded, ‘The wounds were all superiicial, with the ex- ception of one which will, for the future, compel the pri- soner to get through the world with one eye. ‘The affair caused considerable excitement in the neighborhood, and at one time & serious riot was apprehended. Tt was but a few evenings previous that the proprietor of a liquor store am the second corner above that, shot a young man, for Little or no provocation, and the remembrance of that tra- gedy only served to increase the flame still more. 1 r Squires, of the Eleventh precinct, in his report tothe Deputy Superintendent yesterday morning, gives “the following graphic account of the affair:— Between 7 and 8 o'clock last evening, a gang of Macker- elville thieves entered the grocery store of a German, named Adam Houyman on the%curner of avenue B an Eleventh street, and helped themselves to crackers aad cheese for the whole crowd, without paying for them, and then demanded still further supplies, which were refused —when one of then seized a large weight trom the coun ter, and threw it at the head of Honyimau, but he dodged it; when another of the rowdies took up a beam and threw it at the head of Mrs. Honyman, knocking her down. They then commenced smashing things generally, when Honyman, ‘nding no other means available, dis” charged a pistol into the crowd, which took effect in the face of Luko Wisely, a notorious thief and rowdy, who was sent to the !’enitentiary a short time ago for the term of eight months, but was released by some trick the day be- fore the election. The pistol was louded with small shot, which peppered the rascal’s face pretty well, though not fatally, it is feared, He was arrested, together with the notorious Phil. MeGuire, who led the gang, aud locked up, after his wounds had been dressed by Dr. Kimbark. The rest of the gang escaped. Honyman was also arrested, more for protecUon than otherwise, and detained at the station house through the wight. Yesterday morning the prisoners were brought before Justice Breunan, at the Kasex Markot Police Court, where they were livid to bail, each in the sum of $800, to auswer the charge of assault und battery. How Dip He Do Irt—A few evenings ago a Southerner, formerly # lieutenant in the United States navy, went into atfaro. He felt somewhat chagrined at the loss of the money, and applied at (he oflice of the General Superin tendent of Police for relict. Policeman Brevoort wa to the gainbling saloon, and after no litte Mmancurring be « im getting back the whole of the lieutenant’s pile. How he did it many persons would gambling bouse nor the name 0” round that neither the ‘business, while py ne published in the newspapers. ‘that late charge of selling bogus tickets, preferred sim by teres Sormmana, hes been dismissed, and upon an examination before Justice Davison, at the Jefferson Market Police Court, he proved his entire inno- je matter. ! ————- Bxooxtyy PmutarMoxic Socurry.—The second concert of this young and promising society takes piace to-mor- row (Saturday) evening, at the Athenum. The pro- gramme is an exceedingly attractive one, the pieces se- lected being amongst the choicest of the works of the great composcra, If the directors continue to exhibit the same corredt judgment, snd to keap their executive ar- Tangements up to the level of their first efforts, the society ‘will soon be one of the first in the country. As judging from the attendance at the first performance, there seems likety to be a crush for places, the numbers desiring ex- tra tickets will have to apply for them before the evening of the concert. Asommn Hicnway Rosngky on Lone Isanp.—Another daring highway robbery has been perpetrated on Long Island, in the neighborhood of Riverhead.

MONEY MARKET. Tuvrapay, Dec. 10—6 P. M. ‘There is nothing new in the stock market. The trans- actions to-day were a \ittle larger than for some days previous, but there is no activity even among operators. ‘Tho same clique of bull operators hang togetber, and just buy enough to keep prices from falling back to any extent. All hope of attracting outsiders must have been aban doned by these brokers, and the probability is that, with ‘an easy Money market, the combination inay continue the movement on their own hook some time longer. The position of our railroad companies is such as to preclude ai hope of dividends. Of the many prominent trunk lines of railroad not more than two or three will pay any dividend during the present winter, and those who are holding them for investment might as well make up their minds, first as last, to go without any income from their capital so locked up for gt least another twelvemonth. Where dividends bave already been passed they will pot oon be resumed; and in companies where no default has yet occurred there willbe no payment at the next regu lar dividend day. The disappointment that euch a de- ranged condition of finances ip all the railroad companies has already created can find no alleviation, and the public prejudice will run against these works as investments for capital for a jong time to come. It will even be found impossible to get up an outside speculative move ment in even the most depreciated. So far as tho supply of money i Concerned, there is much in favor of an in flation in fancy stocks, but the present race of speculators have become so heartily diagusted by the losses already incurred that they have not, and cannot bave for a long time, the heart or the nerve to touch such dangerous secu- rities again in any way, noteven as sellers short for future delivery, At the second board the market was without animation and closed dall. Pacific Steamship Company declined % per cent; Erie, 44; Hudson River Railroad, %; Cleveland and Toledo, 4; Chicago and Rock Island, 3g. There was no movement of consequence in New York Central. The stock was plenty enough to- day. It opened this morning at 75 per cent, and was freely offered all the way down to 73\4, at which it closed. ‘There was no change in prices this afternoon. The bulls have made great efforts to keep up prices for this stock particularly, but it looks as though their success was far from flattering. With two hundred and fifty one thousand shares afloat, there is very little probability of a scarcity among speculators. At the company’s own valuation of the road the actual value of the stock is about sixty per cent. Anew road could be built for about one-half of what it is admitted the old cost. The turned out di rectors of this company were too inquisitive to suit the management. They asked too many questions, and were disposed to pry into what tho resident aod Superin- tendent considered none of their business. It was the opinion of the Board of Management that the safest plan for such parties was on the outside, and ® is our opinion that in leas than (wo years the Néw York Central Railroad financiers will etand apon the same platform with those of the Michigan Southern. The same olements are at work, the same process is going on, the same re- sulta will be realized, and al] the individuals engaged will occupy in the public mind the same position. ‘The exchanges at the Bank Clearing House this morning wore $12,948,145 43, and the balances paid wore $800,263 49. The balances at the Clearing House to-day swore paid in specie. This is literally a resumption of spe- cle payments. It is well that it has been so quietly brought about. ‘The Metropolitan Bank now takes notes of the Huguenot ‘Pank of New Paltz on deposit on the same terms as the other State currency. ‘Tho steamship Kangaroo, from this port for Liverpool to- day carried out $169,380 in specie, The Fulton, on Saturday , will take out about $600,000 in specie.

This will bring the per centage up to about 64 per cent—a figure not far out of the way, but in reality under the actual cost of operating the road.
