A German mass meeting of some 1,500 to 2,000 persons was held in the Volks Garten, Bowery, last night, for the purp of laying the foundations of #8 new independent German party, in opposition to the existing political organizations. Enthusiastic Bpeech ere made and s number of resolutions passed laying down a platform for the new party. The Kings County American Convention nomi- nated a “straight” ticket yesterday, having refused to accept the proposition of the republicans to unite. Arrangements have been made by the Post Office Department with Mr. Charles Morgan to carry the mails twice a month between New Orleans and Vera Cruz, As compensation, Mr. Morgan is to re- ecive the postages, The service will commence on the first of November, at which time the first mail will be sent by the Tennessee. The Commissioners of Emigration held their weekly meeting, at the Worth street office, at thoee o'clock yesterday afternoon—President Ver- planck in the chair. Mayor Tiemann reported that contracts for buildings on the site of the old hospi- tals had been received, and that the work had been awarded to Mr. Schute, as the lowest tender. The weekly statement shows $17,015 21 balance of commutation fund, anda balance in bank to the Ast of January 5 89 The number of emi- grants arrived during the past week is 1,639. The Board thea adjourned. The Ten Governors of the Almshouse held their weekly meeting on Tuesday evening, Presiden Binith in the chair. Governor Anderson denounced Bellevue Hospital as a “grog shop,” and on mo tion an item for champagne glasses was struck out of the estimates. Another communication was received from Mr. Busteed relative to the pro priety of paying Dr. Martin for his discovery, and fit was again resolved that he be granted $1,500. The number of inmates to 10th of October was 6,670, showing an increase of 636. At her lecture on Rome last evening, Madame Lola Montez took occasion to make some remarks in regard to the course of the Provisional Episco- pal Bishop of the diocese, in the matter of the Rev. Mr. Hoyt. What she said is given in full elsewhere. The Rey. Mr. Mattison delivered a lecture in Union chapel last evening, on the great comet now visible in the heavens. He maintained that this comet had never been seen before, and would never be seen again. For particulars see report in another column. The examination in the slave case, in which Macomber and others are sought to be implicated in the cruise of the Haidee, was continued yester- day. The only additional evidence elicited was that the vessel was built in Providence, R.1., but not for any of the parties now under examination, ae far as the evidence now shows. Judge Ingraham, in the Supreme Court, yester- Gay, gave a decision dissenting from the opinion of Judge Sutherland in the Phelps will case. There was a large amount of business transacted esterday in the General Sessions. The case of Charles Verry and John Henry, charged with high- way robbery, resulted in their acquittal. Charles W. Swift, the complainant, was contradicted by six witnesses, and the evidence showed that the ac- cused could not have perpetrated the offence. Wm. Irving, a notorious burglar, was convicted of bur- glary in the first degree, he having, on the night of the bh of September, entered the dwelling house of Daniel Bates, 29 West Washington place, in com pany with two men who succeeded in escaping. irving was pursued by Mr. Bates, who,after chasing him two blocks, abandoned the pursuit, which was taken up by two Ninth ward officers, who cap- tored the fugitive. The Recorder sent him to the State prison for ten years. Ellen Hickey and Ann Whallen, old shoplifters, indicted for stealing a Piece of silk, pleaded guilty to petit larceny, and were each sent to the penitentiary for six months. George Goodwin, James Smith, James Hunter and Franklin Caster at burglary in breaking into the store of Edward Sharpe, in Division street win, being an old offender, was sent to the State prison for two years. Ilis confederates were re manded for sentence. Wm. Gilbert, indicted for forging a check purporting to have been issued by Bowen & McNamee, pleaded guilty to forgery in grocery Good Py urth degree, and was sent to the State prison fw two years. Wm. Kendall was convicted of petit Barceny, and sent to Blackwell's Island for three wr onths. Our correspondent at St. Jago.de Cuba, writing On the 90th ult., says that wooden barracks were being erected about two miles from that place for the reception of daily expected Spanish army, intended to fight the Mexicans, A large business, principally on French account, had been done in tobacco. No sugar was in first hands, but molasses was plenty. A considerable quantity of molasses, fruit a: | honey was expected from the interior fo Bhipme st to Europe.

The | * | quality offering was better than usual, andthe mar- ket well supplied. Veal calves continued in fair | demand, and the market closed steady at last week's prices. The receipts of sheep and lambs were heavy, but there being a good demand rates were unchanged. Swine were in good supply, and heavy corn fed hogs met an active demand. ‘The cotton market was irregular yesterday, while re- ports of sales varied. Some gave them at 2,000 bales, chiefty in transitu; and another report placed the sales at 8,000 bales. Pmbracing all grades of middling uplands, quotations ranged from about 12¢. a 18¢, Mr, Wright, in his circular by the Arabia, notwithstanding the preva- lence of the late fae weather and increase of receipts at the ports, adhered to an outside estimate of 3,300,000 bales, Should the consumption equal that of 1856, of which there is every appearance, it will all be wanted. With the cheapness of money and food, and the con- ti of peace, the demand will take the whole crop at r jerative prices, Tt must be recollected also that the stocks om hand on the Ist of September last were mode. rate. The foreign news tended to depress common and medium grades of flour, while other grades were without change of moment. Wheat was heavy and lower, with moderate amount of sales. Corn was rather firmor, with a fair amount of transactions. Pork continued to rule heavy for of, while new was unchanged; old mess sold at $16 20a $16 30, new at $16 60, and old prime at $14. Sugars were less buoyant, without change in quotations; the sales embraced about 600 hhds. and 700 boxes at rates given in another place. Coffee was quiet And steady. In freights there was rather more offering, and rates at the close manifested a little more tone, to other ports engage- ments were light, and rates unchanged. ‘The Late and Approaching State Elections— 'The Opposition Struggle in New York. We presume that very few of our intelligent readers will be surprised at the results of the late elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Towa. The seeds of demoralization and dis- cord which were sown so liberally by the disaf- feeted leaders and Presidential aspirants among the democratic members of Congress, at the late session, have produced their natural fruits in the disintegration and defeat of the party in the Keystone State, and in the opposition victories elsewhere, of Tuesday last. The restless and un- scrupulous demagogues who were too feeble to stand against the administration, have still proved strong enough to cripple the party in many of itsstrongest holds; and to the extent of these disasters the scheming and reckless traitors of the democratic camp have damaged themselves, and all concerned, in the great game of the party for the succession. But while in these late elections we have the evidences of a mischievous disintegration of the democracy, we have none of the elements of a practical fusion on the part of the opposition forces. In Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana they have coalesced upon temporary ex- pedients for the temporary purposes in view, and are as fur from the basis of a general coalition now as they were at the close of the last Presidential election. The results, therefore, of the October elections will hardly admit ‘of an application beyond the mere contingencies of the day. They cannot be taken as proofs of the positive weakness of the democracy, nor as examples of the strength and union of the opposition for 1860, because, even within a twelvemonth, all the paltry electioneer- ing devices of October, 1858, may be among the “obsolete ideas” of the past. In the State of New York, however, where the two principal factions of the opposition have ar- rayed themselves in direct antagonism to each other upon our State officers to be elected in November, we have a definite preliminary oppo- sition contest for the Presidency. It is a contest between the Seward republicans and the anti- Seward Americans for the inside opposition track in 1860, and should the American ticket poll the vote which that faction anticipates, or any thing near it, there will be a defeat of Morgan so overwhelming that it will also carry Seward and his party to the bottom, and the American element will come into the foreground as the great controlling balance of power in the Empire State. In a word, let Morgan be handsomely defeated by the American diversion upon Burrows, and the American party may supersede the republican, not only here, but throughout the Union, in the organization and ticket of the combined opposition forces in 1860, That Morgan will be defeated there is very little room to doubt. We beNeve that both fac- tions of the democracy will do their best for Parker, whatever may be their divisions upon local candidates, here and there. On the other side, the republicans have not only cast away the heavy American vote of the State rather than give up the supremacy of Seward, but in abandoning their late radical notions upon “temperance and freedom” they have forfeited the support of, perhaps, fifty thousand believers in the platform of Gerrit Smith. We have, there- fore, the prospect before us of a very important double political vietory over the Seward repub- licans in November—first, a victory of the democracy and the federal administration; and, second, a victory of the Americans in reference to 1860, Let the democracy here rally at once to coun- terbalance their party losses in Pennsylvania, and let the American party at once bring for- ward the great national name of General Scott as their password to the Presidency, and this double victory in November may be most tri- umphantly achieved. In any event, not until af- ter our November election can we begin to com- prebend clearly the re-construction of parties for the Presidency. Tur Cuarrer Execttoy.—The tenor of all the meetings in this city preparatory wo the coming State election, shows pretty clearly that even among political factions absolute submission to been abandoned. In the words of John Cochrane, on his re-nomination the other night—the people are now taking matters in their own hands, and the day of party hacks and party newspapers is past. If thie be true with regard to the election of Congressmen and State officers ona party | platform, what excuse is there for adhering to the obligations of parties, or committees, or Tam- many influence in the election of officers for the city government, where no principle is involved, except the principle of plunder, which is com- mon to all parties—democrats, republicans and Amerieans alike? We hope, then, that in the se- lection of a Comptroller, and other responsible corporation officers, the taxpaying pnblic, with- out regard to party prejudices or preferences, will unite upon faithful and capable persons— men of reputation and responsibility, good ac- countants, and firm in character; and let the po- litieal hacks go overboard. Dishonesty and im- becility, in various shapes, have left the city bank- rupt, and increased the taxes till they have be- come an unbearable burthen for the shoulders of the owners of property, Let that class take care that rowdies and wire pulling politicians do not again impose upon them a corrupt set of ras- cals to control the city finances. A great deal depends npon the men nomineted for the charter election of December. Anniversary Week of the Panic of 1857— Change of Affairs, This is the anniversary week of the great finan- cial panic of last year. On this day, a year ago, the city was witnessing a bloodless reign of ter- ror. Fear, trepidation and dismay were exhibit- ed in.almost every countenance. The savings banks were besieged by trembling depositors, notices appeared on the doors of banking insti- tutions in Wall and William streets, announcing suspension of payment, and these localities, where merchants, bankers, shavers and “opera- tors” generally “most do congregate,” were crowded with anxious groups, anticipating, and many realizing the ruin of their fortunes, Large houses all over the city were smashing by scores, every hour, through that eventful week, while, to qwown all, masses ofhungry men were assembling in Tompkins square, and parading the streets with the ominous war ery of “bread or blood!” Pub- lic and private confidence was, for the time being, obliterated—everything, in fact, except the United States government, the Chemical Bank and the New York Heratp came to a stand still, They went onasusual, It was a terrible time, and we ought to be very thankful that the recuperative power of the country was sufficiently strong enongh to bring us through with it so well. Affairs have taken a turn in a single year. To-day the bank vaults in this city exhibit a plethora of specie, and some of the banks are refusing deposits in silver: they will take no- thing but gold, and they will not allow interest on deposits even of that precious metal. The rates of interest here have come down from ten per cent a month to five percent a year, and in England from ten per cent per annum to three per cent. The theatres are crowded nightly, the Opera is in full blast, hotels are oppressed with visiters, and crinoline is more expansive than ever. Such are the outward, but substantial, signs of sudden recovery. To be sure, trade has not yet acquired its pristine activity at this season of the year; but it is improving—resuming a healthy condition slowly, but surely. Commercial fail- ures—the latent consequences of last year’s shock—continue, but in a vastly diminished pro- portion. The failures in this country and in Europe consequent on the panic, amounted to some eight or nine hundred millions of dollars. In April of the current year we published an ac- count of the commercial failures in the United States for the first quarter immediately follow- ing the panic, showing the amount to be about thirty millions. For the six months succeed- ing—that is to say, from the Ist of April to the Ist of October, 1858—the aggregate number of fuilures in the United States and Territories was 952, and the total amount $20,750,150. The fol- lowing list of those failures, divided into States and cities, will be found interesting:— LIST OF FAILURES IN THE STATES AND TERRITORIES FROM arnit 1, 1858, TO ocTopER 1, 1858, Number of Failures’ Amount of New York city., $2,885,000 New York State 2,121,000 Philadeiphia. 2 110,000 Pennsytvani “6 ‘935,000 ¥ 750,000 Baltimore Eo 3s0'000 land 6 ‘90,000 Alabama, 8 101,000 Arkansas. 6 126,000 ieut at 270,500 lL 131,600 5 125,000 16 273,050 Tiinois 72 1,224,000 6 ‘605,500 lowa., 32 360,000 Kentucky 5 524,000 Louisiana 8 660,000 ite Fr 3a 900 ichigan. = 2 "000 6 174,000 Missourt™” 3 000 New Ih 10 86,000 New Jersey 18 162,000 North Carolina, 2D 350,000 ‘Obio...... . 10 1,266,000 South Carolina li ‘297,000 Tennessee .. 33 1,056,000 Texas... 7 149,000 Vermont 9 172,400 Virginia a“ 000 isons 3a 217,500 Territories. 7 121,000 oe 5B $20,750,150 The failures in the British Provinces for the same time numbered 44, and amounted to $968,000. It will be seen by these figures that the cotton growing States of the South have the advantage over the sugar growing States, with the excep- tion of Tennesse, which exhibits a heavy record. In like manner the Eastern, and Atlaatic States generally, make a fairer show than the Western States, such as Illinois and Missouri, where a reckless method of transacting business prevails. On the whole, the existing state of the country shows its wonderful vitality and capacity to re- cover itself from the severest disasters. But this fact should not deceive us as to the danger of the mode of doing business which has hitherto characterized this country. Too much expan- sion in trade, as in the case of the frog in the fa- ble, will inevitably result in bursting. Arrams 1s Mexico—We learned yesterday, by telegraph from Charleston, the points of the news from Mexico received at Havana by the British mail steamer from Vera Cruz. A deci- sive battle was reported to have taken place be- tween Vidaurri and Miramon, and cach is an- nounced as having obtained the victory. Our Minister will sail from Vera Craz onthe 18th inst. for home. Governor Garza, at Tampico, had been at his old tricks, and imposed a forced loan of one hundred thousand dollars upon the foreigners there, imprisoning several Amcricans and Spaniards because they refused to pay up. That is the sum of one month's later intelligence from Mexico. In the state of utter exhaustion to which the public treasury, the partisan leaders, and the whole country have been reduced, .a decisive battle is a thing hardly attainable by cither of the contending parties in Mexico. A few skir- mishes, sundry marches, and constant negotia- tions for a change of sides, is the sum of Mexi- can warfare, and things will thus continue until one or other of the parties succumbs from sheer debility.” In this state of affairs constant recourse to forced loans and plunder must be taken by the partisan leaders, in order to keep their ragged, half starved, ill armed and motley bands together. With the growing anarchy euch a state of things seems more likely to increase than to diminish, and calls for some energttic action by our go- vernment in behalf of our citizens. Garza is proclaimed as the liberal leader of the State of Tamaulipas, and yet he is performing the same acts of plunder that have been so energetically condemned by usin Zuloaga. Tlis course in this matter ig not a novel one. Me has done the same thing before on several occasions, and is sustain- ed in his audacity by the fact that a few paper protests by the Consul is all the notice that is taken of it. In his estimation the silver dollars are far more entitled to consideration than paper pellets. In the case of Zuolaga we could only cloae our intercourse with him. He was perched far up in the interior, where we could not reach him, ex- cept through a formal invasion of the country. With Garza the case is different, He is within reach. The custom houses of Tampico and Matamoras are his entire reliance for obtaining resources in a legitimate way. He can be brought to asense of what is due to foreigners residing within his jurisdiction under the guarantecs of existing treaties and international law, and he should be brought to it. He is one of a dozen leaders who are breaking up Mexico, each taking a piece; and if he is allowed to go on in this way with impunity, all the others will be doing the same thing, and we shall eventually have to bring them all to ac- count. Mexiuo is now in a transition state. The old is passing away and the new is not yet de- veloped. Action by our government—immediate and energetic action—will impress the germs that are now springing up there, and save us many a conflict in the future. Another step should also be at once taken by our government. Our Minister is coming home, and there will be no one in the republic who can give utterance to anything or word in an official character. The wishes and opinions of our government, officially expressed and discreetly uttered, are much sought for and have great weight there. In the present state of our rela- tions, and of government in Mexico, a new Minister cannot be appointed ; but an agent can and should be sent out there at once, If a pro- per man be selected, he can do more for the protection of our citizens and the advancing of our interests than twenty of the usual run of ministers which we have sent to the Spanish American republics. We hope, therefore, that Mr. Buchanan will at once send a vessel of war to Tampico to look after Governor Garza, and a proper person to Mexico to look after the gene- ral interests of the country. Tue Resvtr ty PennsyLvANia—CAMERON AND Fornty—The general results of the late Penn- sylvania election speak well for the tactics and active management of Gen. Simon Cameron, in the work of fusing and bringing out in solid column all the factions of the opposition, and the Douglas sympathizers of the democracy. Gen. Cameron may particularly plume upon the skill with which he has managed that rebellious and boisterous ranter of democracy, Forney. First, the general out-generalled poor Forney for the Senate in a democratic Legislature; and second- ly, he has turned the bitter disappointment of Forney to a good account against his own party. Perhaps poor Forney was thus inveigled into the enemy's camp by the very process which he re- commended in the case of Jamieson; and in this view of the matter, the next best thing in behalf of Forney isa private room in some inebriate asylum. As for Gen. Cameron, he now stands at the head of the column of the opposition availa- bles for the Presidential battle; and unless Seward shall be relieved by a miracle in our November election, he will have to take “a back seat in the new car,” and submit like Forney, to the supe- rior discipline of Cameron. City Porrrics—Democratic Nominations FoR JonGRESS.—Upon the subject of candidates for the next Congress our city democracy have com- menced their work under very good auspices, ex- cepting the district of Daniel E. Sickles, in which there appears to be a split in favor of General Walbridge, which admits of no compromise. In regard to the extreme upper district represented by Horace F. Clark, all that we know at present is, that Mr. Clark will be set aside, and will have the privilege of testing, like his friend Haskin, the confidence of the opposition factions in his principles. The Chevalier Webb utterly repudi- ates Haskin. But what does he think of Clark as a trusty black republican, on the Cincinnati platform? Greeley is all right; but the consent of Webb is the thing wanted. As Clark is not in the Chevalier’s district, perhaps he may pass. What says the Chevalier Webb ? Tue Contracts For REBUILDING QUARANTINE.— The Mayor and Commissioners of Emigration, determined to carry out their obnoxious purpose of rebuilding the Quarantine establishment on Staten Island, have accepted a bid from the con- tractors; but it remains to be seen whether the contract can be filled. If it be true, as we are informed, that an injunction has been taken out in one of the courts of Brooklyn, restraining any person from crecting any buildings on the site of the old Quarantine, the contractors may be wise in refraining from any preliminary expense in the matter. City Amusements—The Opera. Everybody is talking about Piccolomini, whose arrival by the North Star is momentarily expected. She will in- itiate Mr. Uliman’s seagon at the Academy. The spirited director's official programme does not state the precise night of her débit, but that it will take place during the next week is beyond peradventure. The plan of the sea- son bas already been detailed in these columns. That it will be unusually brilliant we may safely prodict. Dur- ing this week-some alterations designed to promote the comfort of the patrons of jhe opera will be made in the auditorium of the Academy. We wish to direct the particular attention of the pub- lic to the manifesto of impresairo Uliman, which will be found in another column. It promises well, and the manager is a man who keeps faith with the public. The Strakosch Opera company give a farewell perform. ance at Boston this evening. It includes “Don Giovanni,”’ without the aid of costumes and scenery, and will take piace at the Music Hall. The company goes to Albany and the Western cities, giving grand Opera whore it is rarely or never heard. nm route Mr. Strakosch announces two performances at Burton's theatre. The first will take place on Saturday, when Mme. Colson will repeat ber charming performance of Violetia, in ‘La Traviata.’ The second, on Monday, will introduce our spirited little native American prima donna, Mme. do Wilhorst, who will sing in the “Pu ritani,’’ which she studied for the Italian Opera at Paris. With Mme. de Wilhorst will be joined that excellent trio of artists—Brignoli, Amodio and Junca. All New York wil! turn out to welcome the return of one of its prime favo. rites. Mile, Wellis, the Indy organist, will inaugurate the con. cort season at Niblo’s saloon this evening, by a grand soirée. We have already alluded to the remarkable performance of Mile, Wellis upon the Alexandre organ, which places her in the front rank of instrumental artists. Mile. Wel- lis will be assisted to-night by Miss Brainerd, Signor Ber nardi, Mr. Motlenhauer and Mr. Timm. The announcements at the theatres—Niblo's, Wallack's Laura Keene's and the Bowery—include every variety of that species of amusement. At the Academy of Music, on this afternoon and even. ing, the annual benefit of the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum will take place, Many of our most prominent artiste—theatrical and musical—will assist in the per formances, which will be directed by Mr. John Brougham. The public always responds most cordially to the call of #0 deserving ® charity as the Orphan Asylum. Tur Panacvay Exreprrion.—The United States ship Sa- ‘Dine will sail in afew days for Montevideo. Letters and packages for the Brazil squadron or Paraguay Expedition, if left at Governor's Island barge landing, Battery, New York, by 4 o'clock P. M., on Friday, 15th instant, will be taken caro of.

Wenwrspar, Oct, 13—6 P. M. Twelve months ago this day, the banks of the city of New York, with the single exception of the Chomical Bank, unanimously agreed to suspend specie payments. It was the culminating point of a crisis which had been mainly brought upon the country by the unwise expan. sion of those very banks, materially assisted, however, by the corrupt and insane speculation in railw: Both were linked together in the work of ruin. Without the bank expansion, the railways could not have borrowed as much money as they bad, nor set afloat so many worthless securities; and without the railway speculation the banks would not have been tempted to expand to the point they did. It was the combined folly of the two that desolated the country. Twelve months have elapsed since then—to look at Wall street one might suppose it had been twelve years. With one or two ex- ceptions, the stock of all the leading banks is now either over or very near par; yet had the Judges done their duty, they would all have been wound up last fall. In the rail- way world the contrast is equally striking. New York Central sells as high ag it did before the revulsion; the change in the price of the leading Western stocks is hard- ih notice: Erie, Michigan Southern, Cleveland and , Reading, Milwaukie and Missiasippi, and nearly all the other companies whore condition was universally ac knowledged to be hopeless last fall, are still alive, and etill in demand at the Brokers’ Board. Not ong, of them has lightened the load of debt which, in 1957, weighed tt to the ground. A few have funded their floating debt at frightful sacrifices. Many have curtailed expenses by stopping the progress of cesential repairs. Some bave contrived, by the adoption of cunning expedients, and thanks to the cheapness of mo- ney, to carry their debt along. But not one out of the whole list has reaily struck at the root of the evils which broke down the system last year, not one has done the only thing that can afford permanent relief to the rail way world—gone into liquidation, wiped out its stock, and reduced the capital on which interest is to be paid to a fair igure. On these roads, in a word, the lesson of the revulsion has beeu thrown away. Near as they were to total col- Japse last fall, they are now in full swing once more, and bankrupt presidents and ruined directors are once more trying to delude the public into losing more money in stocks and bonds. If they succeed—and there are no limits to the folly of that class of persons who are called outside speculators in stock#—we are destined to see an other brief period af inflation; another insane era, whea men shall believe even in Erie and Michigan Southern; another period when dishonest reports and false accounts of earnings shall flouri#h; and, soon after ward, another terrible collapse in which ruin will travel from the railway world into the commercial world, and banks, merchants, manufacturers, and society generally, will be involved in disasters caused by the knavery of a few Wall street speculators. ‘The business at the Stock Exchange today was lighter than yesterday. There were no prominent buyers or sell- ers. For State stocks and first class dividend paying pro: perty the demand was steady and large. Missouris were freely taken at both boards at an advance of 4% a 4 per cent. Tennessees and other State stocks generally wore steady. The same remark will apply to the railroad bonde, the better class of which, especially, attracted ge. neral attention. In bank stocks we note a large business, and an almost universal advance. American Exchange shares were 4 better, Commerce 14, Continental 2 per cent, Hanover ‘4, Importers’ and Traders’ 2 per cont, Metro. politan %%, &c. For dividend paying railways large prices wore bid. For Cleveland, Painesville and Ashtabula 11934 was offered, and 117 for New Haven and Hartford. Passing from investinent to speculative stocks, we find a less fa- vorable market. New York Central opened dull and rather lower, but after the usual transactions between the bulls and bears it rallied to yesterday's price, anda shado above. Reading was also lower during the course of the day, but in the afternoon sold at yesterday's price. The Michigan shares were in fair demand throughout the day— Central a shade lower, the Southern beth pretty firm. Rock Istand was neglected, but closed without change of Price, The last prices after the board were—Missouris 87% & 873; New York Contral, 899% 84; Reading, 51 a 6154; Michigan Central, 66 a 66%¢ ; Galena, 83 a 8334; Rook Island, 65% © 6594; Pacific Mail, 103 a 1034, Panama, 116) & 116K, The warket closed dro. i ag: ‘The exchanges at the Bank Clearing Hoan) this morning were $19,026,146 47, and the balances $1,552,961 18.

Money continues to be without alteration in price.

A correspondent of the Evening Post writes as follows about the Ohio Liife and Trust Company:— The creditors of the Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Com- pany are negotiating with the assignees for a speedier set- tlement of claims, No dedinite plan has been agreed upon. Now it seems to me that, were Ta creditor, I would reason thus: All these assets are ours; the franchise, worth something in itself, is valuable to us; even if we use it only as a better way to settle, it will cost less to make the assets available, and the assets will bring more if the corporate powers are preserved. Let us, then, all become stockholders upon some fair seale. The reply te this would be, the corporation hag been shattered too much, and it-can never i enjoy the public confidence. Ithink different; but suppose it were trae: .is not a live stumbling horse better than bis hide? Such would be my reasoning were 1a party in interest. AS a public ques- tion, it has other beari » Adverse to @ resuscitation, which it is unnecessary to discuss now. Upon which we will take leave to inquire what has be- come of the law case in which Mr. Ludlow, of this city, was to appear as a witness, and state all that he knew about tho affairs of the Ohio Life and Trust Company?
