[From the Boston Herald, Feb. 27.) ‘The reign of the knife is periodical in this city. At intervals our criminal docks are prolific in their array of culprits, who seem desirous of inaugurating in this Puritan community the customs of those dark whiskered, ugly eyed assassins of Italian extraction who ie: themselves out for a fee to remove A Jeman from the earth. It is quertionabie wl not become nevessary in this community to carry & deadly weapon, for it is found that every street rowdy carries his kniie, ready on the —— Loe. to plunge it into the breast of his victim. reflections may appear uncalled for by those who the society of this city as near perfection as can be found in cities of a similar size. But those who are familiar with our criminal courts, who are almost daily ‘Witnesses of the effect of thie genera! use of the knife, it will be no news. They will certify to the truth of what we write. ‘With these prelim'nary observations, we shail proceed to recount one of the most deliberate assaasinasions (for death will | probably ensue from the attack) that has oc- curred in city for mavy years.

The facts, so far as could be learned by’ o reporter at the scene of the occurrence, last evening, are as follows: —It that at abou: 5 o'clock yesterday aiternoon, Mr. Capen was fitting in the barroom at tacbed to Mason’s Exchange Hotel, No. 74 Friend street, conversing wtth some acquaintances. This hotel is in the immediate neighborhood of the etabier of Cheney, Averi!! & Co., and the bar a sitting-room for the hackmen when of duty. While Mr. ap was in the barroom, the young man Gould came in, partially intoxicated and very noisy, talking fight, and, m the vulgar sleng, “blowing ’ considerably.

Arremr? ro Cot 4 Powcmman’s Tanoat.—At au early hour yesterday morning policeman Brown, of the Sixth Precinct, was called upon to suppress a row then in full blast in one of the Five Points tenement houses, in Worth stree\, near Mission place. On entering the premises he ‘was assaulted by a man uamed Timothy Flynn, who ap- peared to be the ringleader of the disorderly crew. Flynn was armed with a dirk knife, and evidently seemed desirous of cutting the policeman’s wiadpipe. Brandish- ing the weapon over the offioer's head, he made several neffectual attempts to slay the victim of hie displeasure, Had it not been for the skilful manner in which Brown —_ the thrusts with his club, the Coronerg would have ‘an extra case on hand. As it was, the policeman re- ceived several severe cuts about the face and neck, which will probably disfigure him for life. Flynn was aide’ in the attack by twoof his brothers, named Lawrence and Micbae!, who lent bim what asewtance the progress of the struggle. Assistance m the station house arrived jost in time to save the policeman’s life. The entire party, including a sister of the accused, named Mary Flynn, were secured and locked up for the Temain- der of Bight. Yesterday morning the pritoners were Drought before Justice Connolly, at the Lower Police Court, where they were committed to answer. Lawrence, Michael and Mary were committed in clefault of $500 bail, while Timoshy, the ringleader of the party, was held in the higher sum of $1,000 to answer, Brooklyn Otty News.

The business to- day was confined more to several of the leading | 750 Cum Coa) stocks, and was not so well distributed as for some days previous. New York Central’ opened and closed very firm at the advance, and, after the board, run up to 89} per cent cash. Hudson River Railroad was in demand, and buyers took hold with much spirit. It opened at 304, and left off at 31—bnyer ten days. At the second board the market was perfectly ram- pant. The excitement at they Stock Exchange was intense, and a very large amount of business was transacted. The advance was quite rapid from the opening, and at the close the tendency was still up- ward. Ilinois Central bonds improved 3 per cent; ‘La Crosse land grant bonds, 1; Cary Improvement Company, 3; New York Central Railroad, 2; Erie, 1; Hudson River Railroad, 13; Harlem, 3; Reading, 4; Michigan Southern, 4; do. preferred, 2; Galena and Chicago, 14; Cleveland and Toledo, 1; Chicago and Rock Island, 2; Milwaukie and Missiasippi, 1. This sudden start upward after a day or two of de- pression has not, we fear, sufficient strength to re- alize the anticipations formed. Prices for many things have reached points calculated to make pru dent operators pause and induce many holders to realize the profits within their grasp. It must be borne in mind by ontside speculators that the mar-. ‘ket becomes weaker as it becomes -inflated, and the danger of a sudden:collapee greater.. That the rise in most stock securities is solely speculative no one for a moment doubts; but the: question is, who are. to be saddled with the fancies at the highest prices?

The operations at the Clearing House to-day were as follows:— Total excbanges., Total balance... 1,025,127 69 The Metropolitan certificates held by the banks are now reduced to $1,418,000, being a decrease of $173,000 during the week, and of $2,210,000 since the Ist of January. The Assistant Treasurer reports to-day as fol- $12,457,096 84 include from customs The receipts to-day $42,900 62. We understand that, commencing with the lst o March, the Metropolitan Bank will reduce the dis- | count at which New England bank notes are | taken, from its present rate of one-quarter to one- | eighth of one per cent. The Boston Post contains the following in rela- | tion to the stock market of that city:— A good demand for manufacturing stocks.

The anarket is now bare of shares, however, at about §. The street rumor is that » strong party in New York has taken boid of Cary with determination to put it where it ought to be in ihe mar- ket. As the stock i# somewhat prominent just now, we have taken pains to obtain the exact figures of the condi- on of the company. Jan. t, 1868, it stood as follows :— Assets.o—Cash, $28,95] 57; houses and lands attached, at cost, $12,133 73; notes receivable, secured by stock and morigages, $210,863 38. Total, $251,928 68. Liabikties.— Balance of original mortg: of $75,000, $45,765 66; balance of availabie assets, $206,123 03." To: ta), $261 928 68. | _ In addition wo these assets of $206,173, there are 340 acres of land, worth $1,462,000 at 10 cents per foot. The totai land saiee since the formation of this company give anaverage of about 13 cen per foot. The land sales funce May 1, 1857, are 133,023 feet, amounting to $26,003 30, an average of nearly 20 cents per foot. The horee airoad now under contract, and only awaiting a losation, {eto cross the Cary property for upwards of a mile in Jength. The London Bankers’ Circular of the 10th inst., in relation to the money market, says:— Another reduction of one-half cent wae made in the minimum rate of discount at the Bank of Fogiand on Thursday, and the retern published in ths evoning’s Gazette shows that the position of the national establish- ment fully warranted the alterston. The accumulation of notes and gold is remarkable for ite rapidity and regu- larity, while the item of other securities at the same time ie dechning to & more moderate point thar any attained for many months. The supply of money is incr to all directions, while the demand for it further a nished. It true that some indications of improvement are visible in certam departments of trade, but the ope- rations, up to the present time, have not been of an extent or ebaracter to produce the slightest impression upon the meney market, which consequently presents a very easy appearance. Laning the spring there will pro- bably de a general amelioration, especially if the com- mercial advices from India, Australia and America report a change for the better in the import markets; but, in the meantime, the terms of discount will continue low, and | many are ‘of opinion that another dectine of 1 oF 1)4 per | cent will take place in the official quotation. | opinion is strengthened by the fact that there is a free: dom from speculation, either in Mincing Lane or at the | Stock Exchange; and the promoters of jolnt stock under. | takings are not éncourage to spply the public with new channels for investment, Thore which have been brought out during the last fow weeke are not in favor, and great difficulty will be experienced in launching others, unless they present peculiar advantages. The ntmost caution i¢ observed in all quarters, and while the same prodence is | observed there will be no danger of sppoulative excite- “ | ment or ondue intiation of values. Temporarily the pro- vision made for the bills which became due on Thurs- day , the 4th of the month, caused rather more activity Im | the discount market, but renewed, if not greater easinews is now apparent. The engagemania upon the whole were well met, and the features were of an unimportant des cription, although the ae amount of which | arrived at maturity was considerable, Notwithstanding | the minitnum bas been fixed at 514 per cent, it fails to ex hibit the real value of money. the competition prevailing out of doors having eosured till lower terms | No diftculty whatever is ex in _petti | good bills negotiated at 245 or 2\ per cent, and the brokers and others complain of the limited commissious they re Looking at the situation of the bank, and the na ceive. | Sure of concertos) clteumstenecs, Bi Set improbable | that another 4; per cent may be taken off next week, | although the charge ie now lower than it has been since | 1865. On reference to the Mnancial Keyixer, we find that the last time the minimum was 3% per cent was in Sep tember of that year, when the bullion stood at £14,990, | 000, and the revenue at £5,265.000. The influx of specie, as indicaved by the bank returps, exhibite no <ymntome of abatement, and as the advices from Australia mention that considerabie remittances are com'ng forward, there is an impression that the stock of the precious motale will for ther increase, particularly as the receipts of the United ‘States are now important. Meanwhile, however, the ex. ports of epecie were limited both to the Continent and to the Kast. The steamer Pera, which left Sow Thursday, for [ndia and China, wok out £216,422.
