Those who were anxious economise time endeavored to get out at a vack door, but after traversing winding stairs and ark corridors they found that the ghortest was the long- eet way after all; and the whole body—ladies in silke and crinoline not being excepted—had to return by the same tortuous road to the starting point. By great de- termination, resistance and perseverance the whole of the audience once more emerged in small knots into the cool air and clear moon! person with a diffe- rent view of the benefits or results of the clattering exhi bition of the evening. The “little band’ of hopeful fe- male adventurers were left on the platform, surrounded by their pergonal friends, and the last remark we heard Was that of a fellow who wished to know whether they ‘were not going to put out the gas, THE AMERICAN TEMPERANCE UNION. ‘This society held their twenty-third anniversary in the great hall of the Cooper Institute, on Wednesday evening last. Altbough the day was wet and cold there wasa very large attendance—more than three fourths of the hall being monopolized by a very respectable audience. Shortly after half-past seven, the President, the Hon, George N. Briggs, took the chair, and the Rey. Dr. Do Witt having offered up prayer, the President rose and congratulated the society on the success of tho past year— after which Dr. Marsu, Corresponding Secretary, read an abstract of the twenty-third annual report. Four great victories, he said, had been gained—a victory over the alcoholic delusion in the individual man; a victory in the family, a victory in the church, and a victory in the State. In sus- taining and extending these conquests consists the tem- Perance battle, which would ultimately secure that one great victory that would prepare the way of the Lord among all people. If we have more temperance than formerly, we have, too, more of everything else; more Jand, more people, more wealth, more luxury, more fo. reiguers, and alos more intel!igence, more religion, more temperance. Amid the encouragements of last year at home, the report alluded to the extensive formiution of Bands of Hope among the young, the conversion of many thousands of young men to,temperance principles in the late revivals; to the restoration of the Prohibitory Law in Maine; to the decision of Judge Shaw and the Su- preme Court in Massachusetts on the traffic as a nuisance; to the Sabbath mevement in the city of New York; the growing conviction in the public mind that a licence ‘sys. vem 18 wholly worthless, and that a prohibitory law is the only hope of deliverance; tbe astounding adulteration de. yelopements; the prosperity and success of the Home for the Fallen iu Boston, and the laying of the corner stone of an Asylum for Inebriates at Binghamton; wan increasing sentiment outside of the cities for the enforcement of law; the active and faithful labor, and the revived condition of many important tem- perance organizations. Abroad were noticed a great ad- vance of the principle of prohibition in England; the ap pointment, at the request of Parliament, of @ royal commission to visit Scotland, and report on the subject of closing liquor shops on the Sabbath; the passage of a Yorbes McKenzie act for Upper Canada; an extraordinary \cmperance movement in the interior of Russia; favorabio tidings from Australia and the Sandwich Ielands; also an increaze of temperance among our seamen—of the nine hundred at the Home in New York, siace January, twen- ty five only had been marked as intemperate, The labors of the committee have exceeded former years, but have been very unsatisfactory to fhemselves ana the communi- ty who may be looking to them, from the want of funds. A yact field is opening before them of usefulness, into which they would gladly enter. In conclusion, the death of Anson G, Phelps, one of the committee, and of H. W. Hawkins, of Baltimore, were touchingty aliuded to. It was then moved and seconded that the report be ac- cepted and adopted, which was accordingly dono, Tho following resolution was thea mede and adopted: Resolyed, That in this twenty-third anniversary of the American Temperance Union abd Thirty third of our great reform, we give thanks to Almighty God for all that has been done in redeeming our land and world from the curee of intemperance; and, thoughidiecouragements are many and opposition Is great, ye? our vonfidence is strong in God vhat He will ultimately bless our effoorts for the entire suppression of that most prolific source of misery, ie, the traflic in intoxicating liquors, and thé destruction of those drinking usages which are drag- ging thousands on thousands down to death. By faith we stand. In God we conquer, The Rey. Tuornton A. Mirts, D. D., then addressed the The second rego- f the Brontés. lution was then read: — Resolved, That the mighty struggles of tho age are bo- tween right and wrong, humanity and selfishness, God and his adversery; that here there can be no neutrality; that for ali of evil that exists every man will be held responsible who shakes not bis garments; and that at the fect of all who come not to our help we lay our five hun- dred thousand miserable inebriates, with their suffering families, and all the woe, and wounds, ana babbiings, and strifes of our land, the fruit of intemperance. We beg their assistance; we warn them against closing their cars and hardening their hearts, Vengeance is the Lord’s, aol peoooni be the fate of our country if there is no re- ntance Pene Rey. H. W. Mitavry, the eloquent blind preacher of the Gospel, of the Methodist Episcopal church, Brook- lyn, was to have addressed the meeting on this resola- tion, but we are sorry to state was unable to attend from b.chness, The Rev. Mr. Ciark, late of Hartford, but now of Mercor sireet, then spoke in the place of the Rey, Mr. Milburn. He compared the cauge to the boring a weil through first a layer of soil and then rock. He suid they had already got through the soil, aud now their real labor com. menced,and it was now more than ever they required frengit and energy and the active support wad oo-opora- tion of their friends. ‘The third resolution was then read:— Resolved, That as the young are the hope of our canse, we rejoice fn the extensive formation of Bands of Hope Juvenile Temperance Associations; but with peculiar i terect do we look upon the young meu of our nation goon to inherit its wealth, its offices, its honors; most af fectionately do we warn them agatnst the fleet hegin- nings of intemperance, and invite them, as the would ou ornaments to their country and their race, to a firm, bold and daring adoption, at all times, and on all occasions, of the great principle of total abstinence. The Rev. H. D. Nowrmnor, of tue Tosological Smiaary, New Haven, then rose and poitted out the dangers that young men incurred on leaving their quiet New Baglana homes for the larger cities. Ho said every ten that, by pleasing the eye, captivatiog the ear, or u ing to depravity, met the unwary at «very him to bis ruiv; and ho warned ail gach » faise step, whether oilered by the fasuiouab’ belle, or by his companions On the gronnd of #octnt! leo Warned them against chewing tobacco, aud illustrated its beastliness by an aneccete, ‘The fourth r ion was thon read:— Whereas, in uvion is #xenutu, and a defect of combina. tion has manifestly sersracd our operations both in Amo- Tica and Europe, tueiefore Resolved, That the utmost harmony be recommended to all temperance wsociations, and that they seek with the greatest arsiluity the co-operation of all ranks and orders of men, agricuiturists and mechanins, merctants and juricts, medica! gocictier, mini Joapel and Christian churches, colleges and schools of learning, sec- men and naval officers, Jegisiators and Governors of Statee, and the national Congrere—all to be engeged in a common gauge for the temporal and ‘bal Well being of men. ‘Wx.

Heenan and Tom Sayers—the re spective representatives of knuckle pluck and shoulder hitting in the United States and in Great Britain. Wednesday’s steamer brings a+ damper for the fraternity, and ail the visions of piles of the glittering pelf, won on the betting table, gradually vanish and by degrees become beautifully less. Heenan’s ‘man of business” in this city, was expected to have known enovgb of his profession to have sent a deposit of money with the challenge tothe champion; but whether | he knew or not, or had it to send, is nobody’s particular business; but after the great dash, brag and fever expec- tation, it may be now said that he did not send it, and the prospects of Heenan giving Sayers that tarna. | tion thrashing, and crowing for three years over | John Bull’s braves are very slender. Big Aaron Jones, who the fraternity here have been pok- | ing fun at for his Eoglish brag, had sense enough to send his money with his challenge, and has thereby slipped ia | before the cute Benicia Boy. Betl’s Life perfectly ignores | the American, and biots bim out from the list of Sayers’ opponents. Gn the latter that sporting oracle says:— ‘On Thursday, April 21, according to appointment, fom Sayers, attended by his backer, appeared at our office to meet the gentleman who had staked a pony for the Un known to fight him for the championship. The’ first question, of course, that was put by the champion was, ‘Who is your man?” To which the only roply be got was—that his name could not be dis- closed at present. Tom, of course, declined to enter into an engagement’ which would enabie bis | opponents to have as inany men as they chose in training at once, and pick the best on the day, A good deal of discuseion took place, which ended in a proposition tnat the Unknown should be produced, so that Sayers would be able to identify him on the day.’ To this Tom assented, and in a few minutes Mr. C., the Dacker of the new aapi: rant, produced his hero, who turaed out to be certainly ao unkvown, and, judging from his appearance, a thorougaly ‘untried man. He stands about six feot high, is remarka- bly “thin through,” has little or no shoulder, and his general bearing and look was £0 meek, and soft, that the | idea of his ever making a champion caused an inyo.upta- | ry emile on every countenance. Having been trowed out, the would be “coming man’ was taken away by his mentor, who then returned, aud a discussion | eneued as to the day of fighting. Tom's backer nav- ing ascertained that Bob Brettie would not alter the | day fixed for his fight, proposed to fight three months after that event, a proposition which was rejected by Mr. C., | who appealed to ua whetber Sayers was not bound to fight the Unknown in six months. Of course our answer was | in the affirmative, and Mr, C. at first insisted on the letter Of the law being observed, as Sayers would have a month | after his battle with Bretsle to recovor himself, On being pressed, however, he congented to give another month; | and articles were thon drawn up, by which Sayers and the Unknown agree to fignt, for £200 a side and the beit, according to the rules of the P, B.A. The fight to come off on tho 15th of November, on the home circuit. £250 side was staked, and Mr. 0. appointed a meeting for Wednesdey, June 7,at Ales Keene's, Theee Tuas, Moor street, to stake an additional £252 side, A toss for the last deposit was won by £: yers. These preliniaa riee settled, the backers of the Unknown withdrew. Since we wrote the above, the rumors we alluded to list week, as to the Unknown being a myth, have been agaia renewed, and parties profersiug to know everything do: clare that the match has beea concocied by the backers of Sayers to give him time after his fight with Brettle, | and leave him only one opponent (Aaron Jones) to dis: | pose of before ciaiming the belt as his own property; aud | we are aséured that at the last momeut the Unknown | will be non ext, and Sayers’ backers will receive the s0- called forfeit, but which, in reality, will be their owa money. Such accusations as these arc easily mado, but it is difficult to prove or disprove them. © All we can do is to allude to them, g0 that it may not be imagined they escape our notice.” As we have said before. we do not believe Tom Sayers capable of such conduct, and we | feel certain he would rather Aght all comers’ for the | next three years than allow such a suspicion to | rest vpon bim, and we hall content ourselves | bave descended.

Tuvnspay, May 12—6 P. M. There was to day an eatior fecling in financial and com- mercial circles generally. The absurdity of our State securities declining because the European Powers aro going to war appears to ke penetrating people’s minds; and al- thovgh there is as yet but little demand for tho stocks which panic has #0 unduly depressed, the tone of con- vergation among capitalists and bankers indicates that, as goon as the first shock of war is over and the people see that it is not going to overturn American commerce, the tendency of the market will be toward recovery. Meonwhile, tho public mind in Wail street was occu- pied to-day with the default of two or three members of the Stock Exchange. Among these was the old house of Jacob Little & Co., which has for some time been strug- gling to maintain the price of Slate stocks and a few high priced securities, against the efforts of the bears end the unfavorable influences of European affaire. Very geueral sympathy is expressed for Mr. Little, whose personal popularity has always been great, It is understood that ho settles all contracts which mature to-day at the prices of the morning board; other contracts will be settled hereafter. Mr. Littic has always behaved with unifo:m kindness and forbearance to his fellow members when in trouble, and we presume that ho will be enabled shortly to resume his seat at the board, ‘The other defautts which are mertioned are not conspi- cuows, and inyolye no serious injury. On the announcement cf Mr, Little's suspension, at the opening of the board to-day, a heayy decline took place in three or four stocks of which he hag been a prominent buyer—Missouri sxes, Iinois bonds, Harlem preferred and Parama Miseouris fell az low as 80, but recovered during the session to 824. Thoy were severcly hammered by the bears, who resisted the | recovery with great pertinacity; but the heavy fill which has taken place, nearly ten per cent since the last inte- rest was paid, induced several jobbers to take a few on speculation. The price in the afternoon wag 84, Illinois bonds fell to 80, and closed in the afteroon at 8014 a 5%. ‘The stock was done at 55, The decline in Mlinois Central securities is predicated upon the decline in the British market. As that decline was caused by a panic, a sud- den and large rebound would seem not improvable, Panama fell off to 118, but recovered in the afternoon, closing at 1177 bid. The decline had been equal to 10 per cent within ten days. The causes were, firat, the fact that the government has awarded the mail coutract to California to parties who have no steamers, and who will have to contend not only against the existing lines via Panama, but likewise against the Yelverton Nicaragua Company, whose charter the administration bas pro- mised‘, enforté| secondly, the supposition that Mr. Litti¢ owns, or has contracts to receive, several thousand shares of stock which will come on the market; and thirdly, the proepect that war may endauger the safety of the Transit. With regard to the first catsc, we under- stand that the successful bidders for the mail contract aro not averee to selling {i at a modest profit, A settlement between Commodore Vanderbilt andthe Mall Company is talked of, woder which the latter aro to purchaae (ng Commodore’s steamboat property on the Pogo, anda new Company, of which Meters. Yaaderbilt, Aspinwall, Moses Taylor, Dan. Drew, cn6 Panama Railroad Company, and others, are to be the leaders, ia to run in conjunction with {nem on the Atlantic. Such a line would probably obtain the mail contract, as very few capitalists would care to risk their means in running an opposition to them. ‘A few days will now decide whether any such arrange- ment can be made or not. If it be effected, Panama will be good property at present prices. New York Central opened this morning at a declise of % from yesterday’s price. Before the {close of the session it advanced }¢ per cent, and closed in the afternoon at 7034 bid—an advance of 7 since ygsterday. ‘We announced yesterday that the freight agents of the four roads had informally agreed to take no more freight pelow paying prices. To-day the Presi‘leats of the South. ern roads are in town, and in conference with the Erie and Central. It is presumed that they will settle their dieputes, and, without renewing the St. Nicholas compact, will agree upon a toriff for freights aud passengers which will enable a!} to earn money. It is understood that the President of the Frie bas at leogth been overborne, and agrees to forego the pleasure of injuring his rivals in or- der to earn the interest on his own first mortgage bonds.

Throughout Towa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio“t ere is an active move- ment of breadstuffe of all kinds. This wil) naturally ope- rate to bring about a settlement of the controversy be- tween the roads. The Western railway shares, however, continue to de- cline. Michigan Southern was done this morning as low a8 $7 50 the share—a stock which two or three years ago fold at $140. The guaranteed opened rather lower than yesterday’s closing price, but closed at 8034, an advance of %. Rock Island continues to be severely hammered by the bears, who are much embarrassed to make their deliveries. Three per cent were paid this morning for a seller’s option for 45 cays. Galena gold as low as 6014, and Michigan Central at 40; they closed at 613, and 4124 Tespectively, Hudson River was also lower, and Harlem preferred fell four per cent; both were unfavora- bly affected by Mr. Little's failure, In the af: ternoon stocks were all better, and there was quite an active improving market.

Every one gees that it must benefit breadstufls, shipping, and Northern industry generally; but the bears console them- gelves by saying that it must hurt cotton very seriously, and that as cotton constitutes considerably over one third of our total exports, the conntry,on the whole, must be a loser by the war. This may prove afallacy. It is by no means certain that the war will prove injurious to cotton, or that the whole injury has not already been dis counted. For there is no ground for supposing that the war will diminish the Gotisumption of cotton goods in any part of the world. War impoverishes nations, it is truo, but the cost does not fall on the people for some time. So long as governments can borrow the debt is postponed, and the people bard{y feel it. The poople of Austria and France are quite ag well able to buy clothing this year as they were last. They will consume quite as much cotton as usual. AS to England, tho case is fUill clearer. Great Britain produces every year about $200,000,000 of cotton goods, of which ehe consumes abou $120;000,000 at home, and exporta $180,000,000, chiefly to the United States, India, Australia, China, Canada, South America, Holland ard the {ree cities of Germany. Itis cleor that the war in Italy will not diminish the demand for cotton goods av.ong the people of these countries. Much lese can it affect the consumption here, or among the Chincee who buy from us, If, then, the great consumers of cotton goods—Great Britain, the United States, and their customers, and the Europegn nations generally— Tequire as much this year as they did last, bow can the price of the raw material fall? During the Crimean war the conaumption of cotton goods increased, and those who calculated on a fall in the price of cotton were disappoint- cd. We haye had a fall of one cent a pound already.
