Upon searching in different bouses in Worth and Baxter streets the officers succeeded in recovering the greater pertion of the stolen goocs A lotof clothing was traced to the possession of the women Carson and Case, while some of the watches were found on the persons of the male , for the possession of which they could not render a satisfactory faccourt, Yesterday the matter camg up before Justice Connolly, at the Lower Police Court, when the accused were committed for examination. Carture oy Burciars,—Jobn Quinn, Miran Nor‘h and Robert Singleton, were taken into custody by the Nine- teenth precinct police, on charge of having entered and roybed the dwelling house of Anne Clancy, in Thirty- eighth street, between Second and Third avenues, on Saturday last. The accused escaped at the time of the burglary, and managed to escape the vigtlance of the polico until Monday evening, when they were found loiter- ing about the neighborhood and arrested. On their way to the station house the prisoners divested themselves of a lot of skeleton keys, which were subsequently found by fome citizens, and handed over to the police. Yesterday the prisoners were brought before Justice Brownell, at tne Fourth District Police Court, at Yorkville, where they were committed for examination.

M. ‘The effect of a Slight increase in outside orders was felt at the stock board to-day; but the power of the bears, whom the late cocline has both enriched and emboldened, prevented any marked advance. New York Central con- tipues to be the prominent speculative stock. It opened pretty strong to-day at 7244, rose to 72%, declined to 72, ‘and finally closed at 7234. The earnings of the road for April will probably show a decline of $100,000 as com- pared with last April, which month was one of the most active the road has cyer known. In April, 1858, an acoi- dent forced the Erie business over the Central, and tho receipts were about $670,000, There was a marked do- clipe in Erie securitica today. The stock was suld as low as 8X, and the sinking fund bonds, with turee cou. pons on, at 20, This looks as though people were pro pared to see the property entirely wiped out by the progent suicidal competition. As, however, we observe sales of the third mortgage at 70, itmay be as woll to remind parties interested that, by an act passed in 1863, if ever the Erio should be sold under a foreclosure, jhe stockLolders would have a righ} to take their share of the road by paying their proportion of the price at which it sold—and this to the exclusion of mortgage or other creditors. If, therefore, for instance, the road sold for the first three mortgages only, and the stockholders choose to take a third of the property at tho price, the third mortgage creditors would have to whistle for their security to say nothing of fourth mortgage and unsecured bondholders. Many persona seem to think that the sooner affairs come to a criais with the Erie the better. Harlem proferred was lower today; Hudson River was 3 botter. Reading was sharply attacked by #ome now boars to-day; whether they will fare better than their predecessors remains to be seen, The road ia said to be doing well. Among tho Western shares the most active was Rock Inland, which continues to be freely taken by a party of out- siders. It opened at 67, rose to 57% at the first board, and clored in the afternoon at 685%. The earnings for April will probably show a decrease, as compared with last April, of about $12,000. Batastbe expenses have boen reduced part paseu with the decline of income, the net profits will not be much, if at all, lesa than usual, Galena was loss active to-day; the decline in this stock for April is eati- mated at $50,000. Toledo was % lower. The Michigan shares are neglected; tho price same an yostorday. Should the present promise of tine crops be continued for anethor month, we shall see asudden increase of business on all these roads. There is yet a good deal of grain in the country, which is only waiting for an improvement in price te come forward: ehould the 16th of May be reached without accident to the new crop, farmers will wait n0 Jonger, but will send their stocks forward at once, The fame cause will likewise lead to more beral purchases of merchandinn by the Western men, The State stock and bone! markets proeeat @ romarkably healthy agpoarnace, All State stocks and good bonds are in det as full prices, ‘The coal etocks were active to-day, wittont change of price.

There is an increage of specie, but a decrease of loans, circula- tion and deposits, By reference to an advertisement elsewhere it will be seen that the intercet on various bonds of the Harlem Railroad will be paid at the office on and after May 2. We have been requested to recommend to the holders of the Isabelia, Cullaway and the Potomac etocks not to dispose of them at present, as explorations, now in pro- grees, are said to afford evidences of very material im- provement, ‘The leading question in the railroad abare market at pre sent is—how long is tho pending competition between the four trunk lines to the West to be carricd on? A wookago we referred at some length to the subject, and took occa- sion to say that if common sense and a sound regard for the interest of shareholders were suffered to control the action of the companies, the pending compotition would not last a week. That anticipation has not been realized, It must be borne in mind that there are two distinct issues involved; one between the Erie and Central on passenger fares and freighta to Buffalo; the other between the Cen- tral and the Southern roade, on freights between the sea- board and cities west of Buffalo. The Central managers ar- rived in town early last week, and sought a conference with the directors of the Erie. A committee was appointed to meet them, and consultations were held for several suc- cessive days. The Erie committee bad no difficulty in agree- ing upon a basis of negotiation with regard to tho local questions between the krie and the Central; both partics agreed to raise the tolls on cattle and pagsenger fares. But the other question was ieft untouched, the Central having no proposition to make, und the Southern roads baving no representative present to receive one. In consequence, when the conditional agreement made by the Erie committee was referred to their Board for ratification, it was rejected, on the ground ‘hat 80 lopg as the pending fight between the New York Central and the Southern roads lasts, the Erie must lose money like the others, and that, until that question be adjusted, it is not worth while to deal with other pointa. ‘These are the grounds on which the decision of the Erie Board is said to have been based. We do not care to refer to the personal or pecuniary influences which are reported in the street to have had their weight with par- ticular directors, As the case stands, therefore, the fight must go on until either the Now York or the Southern lines recede, The New York Central has broadly stated its intention of carrying freight from New York te pointa west of Buffalo for as little money ag the like freight can ‘ve carried to the same points from Philadelphia ond Baltimore, notwithstanding the diflorence of dis- ‘ance. The ground on which the Central poeple ngeert their ability to carry freight cheaper—for it amounts to this—than the Pennsytvania and tho Balti- nore and Ohio, is said to be their conviction that the Can- ral 1s better built and has leas grades than either of these oads, and that it can be worked more cheaply. Itoan cadily be understood that these are propositions which the Southern roads are far from admitting; hence the con- ‘ict. Thus far the Southern roads have steadily reduced heir rates as fastas the New York roads have reduced ‘heirs; and from ali we can learn they have no intention of retracing their steps until the Central retraces hers. It is not easy to conceive a state of things better calcu- | javed than this to encourage the bear jobbers, or 0 keep jive the feeling of distrust which it is the interest of all at this juncture to dispel. If the leading lines of the coun- try, the greatest of our railroad enterprises, which have cost the most money and are managed by the wiscet | beads, are quarreling like schoolboys, and playing a «ome of bluff with each other, at the cost of their sharo- }oiders, what hopes can be entertained of less prominent and legs favored roads ? The tendency of the public mind at the present time toward a rovival of confidence in railroads, as in every 1uing elge. It is well known by all who take any interest ja the gubject that the crisis, which killed a large num, \er of insolvent enterprises, and forced others into the Lands of their creditors, operated to compel the mans- yers of the really substantial companies to retrench, re- form and remodel their administration, To such an ox- tent has this work of economy and improvement been carried on, that on many of the Western roads the work- iog expenses have been cut down ten to fifteen por cont; and this on greatly diminished receipts. It is also well known to the intolligent portion of the public that though the Western roads are doing very badly this epring, they must do very well this fall, if we have any- (uing of acrop, Finally, every one perceives that busi- ees is reviving on every side; that the revival will shortly spread to the railroads is quite obvious. The pub- Vc, therefore, a8 a general rule, would be quite ready to buy stocks at the present panic prices, were it not for toe Uneasinesa created by such conflicta as this between the Central and the Southern lines, and for tho alarm caused by the operations of the bears, Ab for the latter, of couree it would be idle to waste rgument on them, Their object is to make money, pnd whatever injury proceods from their operations they wil pe eatistled eo long as they make a fow thoussd vollars by it. But the public are entitled to expect tbat ihe leading reliroad managors will bot supply waem with pmmunition for the ight. Stock Exchange. ‘Tuspay, April 20, 1859. 0G a NY Cen RR.
