UES nES SSN of the “Fisher Sale of Barbee's & Barbdee’s exquisite statue, the ‘Fisher Girl,” pro- ‘aounced by all who have seen it one of the duest works of art that bas been executed by a modern sculptor, and fully equal to the famous work by Powers of the “Greek Slave,” was sold at auction, at 1234 o'clock yesterday afternoon, at tho Merchants’ Exchange, by Henry Leeds & @. The announcement of the sale callea forth a iarge assembly prior to the hour appointed for the sale to take place. The statue was placed on a pedestal in tho entre of the rotunda of the Exchange, where overybody tha: desired saw the delicacy and exquisiteness of the work. A few minutes before half-past twelve the auc- Yoneer got upon a table, and after waiting in silence a few minutes, until the time arrived for the sale, be pro- ceeded. ‘He said:—Now we will proceed to the sale of this ex. qnisite and magnificent statue of the ‘Fisher Girl,’’ cut in Florence by a native artist of Virginia, W. R. Barbee, Esq. It is probably the finest work in the Uuion, not excepting the ‘Greek Slave,” by Powers. This statue bas been exhibited in various parts of Europe, and re- ceived the highest encomiums of praise from the art journals there—every one, without exception, attesting Yo its high character and execution. The sculptor, with a view to have it disposed of in his native country, brought where, that it migbt remain to his own credit and honor. 1 want you, gentlemen, therefore, to give me a good Liberal and prompt bid. I pledge my word, in point o¢ ‘merit it is pot second to the “Greek Slave,” which I sold w this building a few years ago to Alexander R. Stewart, for $6,000; or the “Coquette,” which was gold ia St. Louis for similar amount, Now, gentlemen, be liberal and give me a bid. [Here a little hesitation took place.) Avcnoxxer—How much, gentlemen !—start it. & Voice—One thousand dollars (by Mr. Van Vieck, of Broad street). AvcrionexR—One thousand dollars! He said he wanted ‘& distinctly understood that every bid taken must be bona Jide, and the sale made without reserve. He continued: ‘$1,600, $1,000, $1,000, $1,000, $1,000—$1,250, will you give it? Only $1,000 I have, will you give the $250?

It was unanimously again declared “Yes,” and the bidding commenced. The Didding contest was again renewed between Mr. Hendricks and Mr. Derby by $50 and $25 bids until it reached $2,750, ‘at which price it was sold to Mr. Derby, who acted as the agent of the Cosmopolitan Art Association. The sale last- ed twenty-five minutes. The statue was valued by Mr. Barbee at $5,000. It will be placed on exhibition at the Dusseldorf Gallery, and afterwards drawn for by lottery. 8 The sale was attended by about three hundred persons, ‘among whom were merchants, artists, connoisseurs, &c. ‘There never has been such excitement in regard to the sale of a work of art since the sale of Powers’ celebrated “Greek Slave.’’ The work was richly worth double the — 4 brought, and may be considered as virtually sacrificed. A Sport Mrseace.—A few days since a resolution passed the Missouri Senate calling upon the Governor for mformation or evidence upon which he issued certain ‘bonds to the Cairo and Fulton Railroad. The Governor, m answer, sent to the Senate the following message:— JEFFERSON Crry, Dec. 17, 1859. Because I have the right and power to do it. R. M. STEWART. Missovr: Orposrriox.—The opposition party of Missouri have concluded not to calla State Convention, but are willing to trust the opposition members of the Legislature ‘%© nominate their candidates. It is said the latter will recommend General Robert Wilson for Governor, and Gen. James &, Rains, of Jasper, for Lieutenant Governor. No Parry Rerreseytatives.—There are nine members ‘ef Congrees who sail under the soubriquet of anti-Lecomp- ‘onites.

Suspension of a Banking House in Daven- port, Iowa. {From the Davenport Demoerat, Dec. 17.] Our city was thrown into a state of excitement yester- ‘day morning by a rumor that the banking house of Cook & Sargent had closed their doors. At first this report was not credited, but upon repairing to the bank a notice was found posted upon the doors te the effect that, in conse- joence of the suspension of the banking house of Sargent $ Dixwell, in Boston, the house of Cook & Sargent, in Da- ‘Yenport, would be compelled to close thei . The ‘causes which led to the failure of the Boston house have not transpired, and we are therefore left in doubt as to ‘how soon we may look for a resumption of payment. We deeply regret this failure, not only on account of the gen- tlemen who have been obliged to give this notice to their depositors, but on account of the depositors themselves. Many of them have heavy paper falling due in a few days, and this suspension will put them to much inconvenience, af it does not compel them to let their paper go by. We re- gret it, too, on account of the effect it will have pon many of our heavy produce dealers, who have been assisted more tban once by this house, and who will now be oblig- ed to depend wholly ‘upon their own means, which, in some ‘cases, are not at this time available. ‘We hope in a few days to be able to announce that the house of Cook & Sargent is again open for the transaction of business, and that itis prepared to pay in fuil every dollar it may owe. We think a statement from Messrs. Cook & Sargent would go tar towards allaying the excite- ment now existing in our city, and we woald counsel them to publish such a statement. Jet our citizens be cautious make no sacrifices, for we tirmly believe they will lose notbing by this suspev: Mr. Ebenezer Cook has resigned his position as director in the State Bank. His guccersor hag not get been appointed. [rom the Rock Island Register, Dec. 17.) ‘Yesterday morning the citizens of Davenport aaa vicinity were yy the rumor that the banking house of Cook & Sargent, of that city, had closed its doors, De- positors and holders of “ Florence” found upon inquiry that the rumor was true. We learn that about $20,000 of Florence bills are in circulation, and that the deposits with Cook & Sargent reach $100,000. The depositors are Prag confined to the business men of Davenport. his will be a severe blow to our neighboring city. What the ultimate loss will be we can form no estimate, bu: at present things wear a very bad face. Our city escapes slinost unscathed, as there are less than be gre of the Flo. rence bills bere, as we are informed. far as Rock Jeland is concerned, we hat ason to be thankful that it is no worse. A word of advice to billholders:—Don’t facrifice your “Florence”’—it will be more valuable a month hence than at present.

City Intelligence. - Sxartva Poyp, Ceytrat Parx.—The late heavy rains, and the perfect system of drainage in operation, have filled the skating pond in Central Park to within about a foot of the regular depth to be used during the winter, and all the pond wants is a continuance of such weather aswe had yesterday to make it ready for skaters. The men engaged at work in the Park have been busy taking all the broken and uneven ice from the surface of the pond, #0 that when it freezes solid there will be no irregu- larities on the surface, Had not the rain fortunately come the delay would have been much longer, as the water in the reservoir has been getting lower instead of higher, as was anticipated. When the yet is in a condi- tion to be used safely, the cn yyporben h we gave a de- scription a week since—will be hoisted on the flag staff. In the meantime the boys can be brightening their skates to prepare for the good time. ExpaykMent Casvatty—Two Mey Kiuxp.—As three laborers, named John Driscoll, Pat. Boyle and William McMann, were engaged in excavating for a new building in Forty-second strect, near Lexington avenue, on Wednes- day, a large bank of earth gave way, and, falling upon them, buried them up. Driscoll was taken out dead. Boyle was alive, but died on being brought to the hosp!- tal. Fortunately for McMann, he escaped with a few shght bruises. Yesterday Coroner Jackman held an in- quest upon the bodies of the deceased, when it appeared in evidence that the laborers had been cautioned not to work near the edge of the embankment, as it was con- sidered dangerous. The jury rendered a verdict of ‘‘ac- cidental death,’ exculpating the contractor from all blame. ASSAULT ON 4 Pouce Orricer By Rownres—One or TuRw Snot ny THs Orvicer.—Officer McArthur, of the Twenty-sixth precint (City Hall), was standing on the corner of Grand and Mott streets early last evening, when he was nearly knock- ed over by about half a dozen rowdies who were walking together arm-in-arm. The policeman remonstrated with them, and stated that he was a policeman, when the whole party attacked him and one of them struck McArthur a low in the face, and then they all started to run away and were followed by McArthur. - At the corner of Grand and Mulberry streets, the officer attempted to arrest one of them, when two of the party named Michael Daily and James J. Fletcher again knocked the officer, and beat and kicked him severely. McArthur jumped up, and drawing aseven barelled revolver, shot Fletcher, the ball taking effect under the right sboulder, and inflicting a deep, thovgh not dangerous wound. Daily and Fletcher were arrested, but the rest of the escaped, but being well known to the police will no doubt be arrested to-day. The wound of Fletcher was dressed by Dr. Abraham, but it was found impossible to extract the ball, and etcher will no doubt carry itto nis grave. By order of Deputy Superintendent Carpenter the wounded man was taken to his residence under arrest, and the matter will be in- vestigated to-day. McArthur has been acting for some time as special officer to Mayor Tiemann, and bears an excellent character for coolness and courage. ‘Tux Scorr Lire Gvarp.—This gallant corps, all of whom honorably served through the entire Mexican war, will give their second annual ball at the City Assembly Rooms this evening. Several high and distinguished officers of the United States Army will be present. The entire pro- ceeds of the occasion will be applied to the relief of their comrades who, from wounds, sickness or distress, may require the attention of the corps—certainly a laudable object. ‘Tue Svrrosep Murer or Mr. Lrerssry.—The inquest on the body ot Mr. B, Luerssen, of New York, whose body was found in the water near Sybil’s Cave in Hobo- ken, was continued yesterday afternoon before Justice O'Neil Several persons residing in Hoboken, who were acquainted with deceased, and at some of whose places Mr. Luerszen would have been likely to have stopped, ‘were summoned. No one, however, had seen or heard of Mr. L. in Hoboken. Mrs. Luerseen was present and stated that her husband took out his wallet on Tuesday morning in her presence and exhibited considerable money. ‘The last trace of deceased was at an oyster saloon near his place of business at three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, where he usually went to get his dinaer. The case was further adjourned, in hopes that some clue may yet be obtained by which the mystery as to the manner of death may be ascertained. Mrs. 1. feels quite conildent that there has been foul play. Coraecnox.—In the report published in yesterday’s issue of the meeting of the Southern students of the New York Medical College, Dr. Owen was incorrectly made to use an expression which was not used by Dr. Owen, but by one of the students in the front benches. Brooklyn City News. Punic Mrerine in RELATION To THE FERRIER—A meet- ing of citizens was held in the Supreme Court room of the Gity Hall last evening, in compliance to a call published by order of the Common Council, “for the purpose of expressing their opinions on the subject of securing the establishment, between this city and New York, of such asystem of ferriage ag will insure the freest competition at the lowest rates of fare.” Alderman Franks called the meeting to order by nomi nating Mr. Parmenus Johnson as president, which was unanimously confirmed. Alderman Douglas was ap- pointed secretary, and the following gentlemen were named as vice presidents:—Charles R. Marvin, James Brady, Jobn Greenwood, William M Harris, John’J. Mer- itt, Edwin Blunt, John D. Cochs, R. 8. Stoddard, Charles Kelsey, N. Anson Blake and John F. Hennessey. Judge GrERNwoop being introduced, expressed himself gratified in witnessing 20 large an assembly, and hoped that before they separated 44 would establish a prin- ciple by which the ferries could hereafter be .conducted— not for the protit of any municipal government, aor for private gain, but for La og nae ag interests of both cities. He contended that New York had no more right to tax people coming inor going out by the ferries than they had to tax them for using their public roads in going to Westchester county. He referred to an act of the Le. gislature paseed in 1845, by which Commissioners were appointed te lease the ferries, and the power was thereby taken from the Corporation of New York. That act had merely been held up in terrorum over the head of New York, and bad induced them to take a more mo- derate course than they- otherwise would have done, by charging a lees price for the shps. Brooklyn should never have taken a lease from New York, but should have submitted the question at issue to the courts, to be there decided. And here the gentleman re- ferred to the fact that the subject had been submitted to Judge Barculo (now deceased), but bad never been hoard of since. The next case was brought before Judge Rooao- velt, who decided against the constitutionality of tho law giving Brooklyn any right to the ferries, but never even gave @ written opinion. Now, for the first time, the pub- lie authorities of Brooklyn had taken the subject in their own hands, and he hoped they would persevcre until they had accomplished their purpose. Aldermen Dayton, Franks, A. J. Spooner, Esq., and others, addreseed the meeting in a similar vein The following resolutions, presented by Judge Green- wood, were unanimously adopted. Besolved, Aa the sense of this meeting, that the corporation of the city ‘of New York, in granting or feaaing ferries, never had (except in the case ‘of the “old ferry,” which has long since been extiagaiabed) any right olber taan a uelegated puke lig power, copferred upon it asa muolelpal corporation creat ed for public goverzmental purposes, and to be exercised in the same manver ae ihe State iteelf, acting through ite Legislature, would exercise it, viz: for the public benefit, and not for pecu nie profit, That they bave. therefore no right tax tne public in the way of a charge to lessees for toe privilege of running f Or, in other words, for the nae of the. public were wi ween the city of New York and Ldng lan‘ hesolved, That the spectacle presented by the city of Brook: 1yn. of a munlelpal corporation in free yoverament, being tributary for ite meana of Loterepuree throvigh a hatural igh way to anot corporation, orgenized uader 1¢ BAM government, is inconsistent with jist political exercises, ano- malove #nd unexampled. Resolved, That as the p iblic power of licensing and granting ferries between the city of New York aud taken away by the actof the Ley r DA ARE: May 14, 1346, avd vested in Commissioners to be appointed bs the Governor, the Corporation of that city no longer powneas it, and that this prisciple should be tnsisted upon in all cyntro versies, transactions or negotiations with tha: Corporation on the subject of ferries. Rexnlved, That tn the opinion of this meeting the city of New York ought'to facilitate intercourse with otber places by every means, aud should for that parpose adopt the most liberal peliey: that she should furmieh slips for ferry purposes with out caarge, or if any rent is asked St whould be placed ai the lowest rater, Bvxxxd 10 Deatu.—A married woman, named Sasan Brady, residing at No. 12 Carroll strect, was fatally ‘burned on Wednesday evening, by her clothes taking fire from the stove. A little girl, seeing her, informed the ‘other residents of the house, who endeavored to suppress the flames by means of water and blankets, but did not succeed until she was beyond recovery. She died within two hours thereafter. MEEriNG ov THe BAR,—A meeting of the Kings County Bar is to be held at tho City Hall, on Friday morning, at ten o'clock, to testify their respect to the character of the late Alonzo G, Hammond, recently deceased, and to make arrangements to attend his funeral. . Arroixruznts.—Tho Board of Water Commissioners have appointed Mr. Francis B. Stryker to tho position of General Superintendent of Sewers; Mr. Daniol K. Smith has been appointed Chief Clerk in tha office of the District Attorney elect, and Jobn G. Gunning has been appointed core of the Almshouse, in place of John Sedgwick, re- signed. ‘Tus Wattanout Buryine GRoonp,—The Wallabout Com. missioners have decided to sell the remaining lots of the old buryiog ground, in February next.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ‘Tuurspay, Dea, 22—6 P. M. The steamship Asia arrived this morning, with dates tothe 10th from London. In a financial point of view her advices are favorable. Consols closed on tho 9b at 97%, or 957% ox-dividend, an advance of *{ a { since the Vanderbilt's departure; and all other stocks, espe- cially the new India loan, were also higher. American stocks are quoted firmer; we note an advance of $1 in the shares of New York Central, and $2 in the Erie shares, which are $6 dearer (to gay nothing of the diffe- rence of exchange) in London than here.

There continues a mand for the various State stocks; tor Erie securities of all clagses there has been much inquiry, and we note an increasing disposition to buy Michigan Central 8 per cent bonds at pao low rates. Pennsylvania Central and New York Central bonds are wanted for inyestment. Il- Jinois shares have given way $2 per share, and the mar- ket Ag them very heavy. in bonds are steady at 78. Barings say:— United States 6’e in demand at 9834; do. 5’s have been done at 94%. State stocks quiet: wusetts sterling 5’s offered at 102. Pennsylvania 5’s Inscription in demanc at 83, and none for sale for present under 85. Deal in ‘ivania Central Railroad bonds at 90, in New York Central 7’s at 95.

The moifey market is fairly active, without supply enough to cause rates to yield, and without demand enough to cause them to advance. There is no difficulty in obtaining money on fair security in Wall street at 6 per cent, and a few old fashioned houses which will only lend on very select securities are satisfied with 63;. Some of the bankera contrive to get 7. At the discount houses the amount of paper which goes at 6. 63, is very small, and almost everything very good is now classed at 7. Af- ter the holidays the rates wil! probably decline. ‘There was little or nothing done in foreign exchange wo- day; there will be no regular packet till the next Cunard- er eails from Boston on Wednesday next. ‘The price of sight bills on New York at the cities men- tioned is as follows, the price being expressed in the cur- rency of the cities where the bills are drawn:— Charleston Savannah Mobile. New Orlean: There was a further dechne in New York Central to- day, and, as usual, the general market, including State stocks and bonds, sympathized. Central was done as low as 76 in the middle of the day, and closed 757% bid. The conduct of the directors, in anticipating their uaual divi- end day, and publishing no statement of any kind to justify their courge, is the subject of severe animadver- sion, even among the best friends of the road. We doubt, however, whether the decline, which is now equal to $7 the share from the highest point reached, is due as much to this cause as to the fact that there had never taken place in Central a healfhy reaction from the advance of September. While Galena, Rock Island and all the other speculative securities reacted $8 10 per cent, the natural course of Central was checked by some street specula- tors, and the stock hung at and about 80 for several weeks. Had it then been left to itself, it would have de- clined. The present fall looks very much like the reac. tion then due, but postponed till now. The buéness in the stock to-day was large. Panama was likewiee active, at a decline of about 2 per cent; no cause for the fall is assigned. Galena fell off %{; Toledo, 4; the Michigan shares 1 per cent. Hudson River and Rock Island were steady. All these stocks are sharply attacked by the bears, who seemingly seck to repeat the campaign of last spring, when railroad property was hammered to such low figures, They must remember that the circumstances ofjthe roads are very dif- of says: yesterday ea down to 36%, but afterwards bid for at 36, “thé coe have cael the Puhburg, ¥o:s Wayne ant ht Railroad has no doubt some inftuence roducing this decline; but @ fair tion of the v: to the Fieve te py that it is meets rest which the vania.

Register of Decem- ber 17:— , Yesterday morning the citizens of Davenport and vici- nity were startled by the rumor that the banking house of Cook & Sargent, of that had closed its doors. De- Positors and holders of “Florence” found upon inquiry that the rumor was true. We learn that about $30,000 of Florence bills are in circulation, and that the deposits with Cook & Sargent reach $100,000. The Sepoeitors are prin- cipally confined to the business men of enport. This will be a severe blow to our neighboring city. What the ultimate loss will be we can form no estimate, but at present things wear a very bad face. Our escapes: almost unscathed, as there is less than $2, of the Florence bills here, as we are informed. So far as Rock Island is concerned, we have reagon to be thankful that it is no worse. A word of advice to billholders: Don’ sacrifice your ‘Florence”’—it will be more valuable a month hence than at .present.
