2 es - FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, Tavrspay, August 3—6 P.M. / The stock market showed increasing firmness at ¢he first board this morning, and there was less apprehon- sion of monetary stringency thau has prevailed during the last fow days, New York Central closed 3g higher than at the socond board yesterday, Reading 34, Cleve- land and Pittsburg %, Michigan Southerm %, Fort Wayne 1, Chicago and Alton 34, Ohio and Mississippi certificates 3s. me improved to 893g. Government securities were Drm, Coupon five-twenties advanced 34, now issue 4%, seven-thirty notes of the second series 3, coupon ten-forties 34. At the open board, at one o'clock, the market was a shade lower. At the second regular board the market was steady and without much activity. Erie was 5 lower than at the first board, Hudson River 34, Michi- gan Southern 1, Iiinois Central 3{. Cleveland and Pitts- burg was ¥ higher, Erie \, Quicksilver 4%. Govern- ment securities were neglected. Coupon sixes of 1881 sold at 106% a 107; seven-thirty notes of the new issue 99%. At the open board, at balf-past three, the volume of business was very light. Erie closed on the call at 8834, Reading 1041, Hudson River 113%, Rock Island 108%, Michigan hern 6544, Cleveland and Pittsburg (s. 3) 6914, Northwestern 2714, preferred 61. Afterwards on the street the market improved, and it closed strong. Cleveland and Pittsburg rose to 71. There has been less complaint of difficulty in obtain- ing loans at seven per cent to-day, ‘The market was gen- eraliy reported easy during the morning, but there were exceptional reports relative to increasing activity m the afternoon. The government disbursing officers are is- suing thelr drafts upon the Sub-Treasury very freely, now that the statement of the public debt is before the people, and the tendency of these disbursements will bo to restore to circulation a considerable amount of currency hitherto lying idle, and to reduce the “balance in the Treasury’? accordingly. This item in tho last debt statement is no less than $116,739,632, and it is bodily deducted from the total of the national debt, which, without this deduction, amounts to $2,873,992,907. It looks very much like an attoropt at di lation to make this specious subtrac- tion from the total audited liabilities of the nation, and while it has the effect of making the present indebted- ness appear loss than it really is, it throws forward an extra burden to be added to future statements. A morn- ing jour which has hitherto been most zealous in praise of Mr. Jay Cooke’s theories of finance, is, however, disingenuous or wnistaken enough to deduct this “amount in the sury”? from the nominal total of the debt given in the statement, thus deducting it twice and re- dueing the aggregate to $2,640,613,643, which, it naively adds, “we presume will be swelled to $3,000,000." It would ave been quite as safe had it said $4,000,000. ‘The unuseally large “amount in the Treasury” exposes the statement to the suspicion of having been “Cooked,” Dut we decline preferring the ge.

Railway shares have, however, still to contend against the disad- vantage of a very slender outside support; and hence, whenover the bugbear of a tight money market is re- vived, the market immediately hesitates under he disturbing element of a rush to re- lize. The uncertain and precarious financial future which awaits the country, while it deters, invites, for uncertainty is toa great extent the life of specula- tion. That uncertainty, too, by imparting increased firmness to the gold premium gives a certain stability to prices which disposes men to incur risks which they might under a more unstable condition of affairs be un- willing to assume. With the constant increase of the volume of the currency, also, they look forward with increasing confidence to that inflation of prices which accompanies the inflation of the former. To look for asteady rise, however, would be €0 entertain a delusion, for the prevailing feature of the stock market, at least for along time to come, promises to be feverish ; but speculation will confine itself mainly to the “bull’’ side, for the reason that it will have much in its favor and little to oppose it, apart from those tre quent periodical reactions inseparable from an active market. The demand for discounts has been met at 7 a9 per cent for first class commercial paper. The gold market has been tirm. The opening price was 14434, from which {t had advanced to 144%; at baif- pastone. It receded, however, from this pout, and closed at 144% a 3 at five P. M. Foreign exchange continues very qull, and the best bankers’ sterling, at sixty days, is quoted at 10834. Bills drawn against the export of securities still continue to depress the market.

Such is not the ease, She already has more than her quota under an equitable apportionment, It i# true that her banke, being mostly small ones, have not ben able tw avail them- selves of the privileges given to the State banks by the law of tho last session, to absorb circulation largely in exoess of the amount due to the State; but she has as much as in ny judgment her bankers will wish to have when the system of redemptions now being inaugurated shall have gone into operation, If | misoke not there will bo in the future an opportunity for the orga of more banks, if they are required.

Prostration of Trade and Activity of Travel, &., he. Oar Montreal Correspondence. Sr. Lawnenos Hatt, Monrrran, August 2, 1865. ‘THR BEORSH NEST IN MONTREAL, Tho rebel nest in Montreal is fuller than I at first sup- posed. Ex-Governor Foote is here, and Dodd, of In- diana, and any number of smaller lights of secesh and copperheadism. When to these are added bounty brokers and others who find it convenient just now to be outside the States, this city may well be regarded as an asylum for refugees, Allen, the Now York broker, with whom Colonel Baker has some outstanding account to settle, is living here in style and enjoying himself vastly. ‘He would be happy to meet Seoretary Stanton over here and would extend to him a cordial invitation to dinner should he feel inclined during the summer to make the passage of the St. Lawrence rapids and the trip to the Saguenay. Dodd, of Indiana, it will be remembered, appeared before the court organized to investigate his case and recognized its jurisdiction, but gave justice log bail after two or three days’ proceedings. He professes innocence—you never found a guilty criminal yet in his own estimation—but appears to have been somewhat un- willing to submit his innocence to the test of a trial. HOW THEY LIVE. It puzzles many persons to know how the Southern chivalry eke out their living in Canada, for none of them work, and as no one will trust them, they must certainly get money from some source to pay current expenses. Jake Thompson, it is now admitted, was furnished with several hundred thousands of dollars by the rebel govern- ment for what was officially termed ‘secret service abroad.” He settled in Montreal because he found more aid and comfort there than he could moet with else- where, and round him clustered all the needy adven- turers who hoped, by real or pretended services, to secure ashare of the spoils. Probably but very few of theso men ever did any actual fnjury tothe North; they were the drones of the rebellion, and cared only for fat living and personal safety. But they blustered and carried on imaginary intrigues for the destruction of the Union, in order to enhance their apparent value, and, like Ben Wood, pocketed their bonuses. Jake Thompson was for a while the tool of these men, and kept them in idleness and good living; but in the end he cut loose from them, gave them the slip, and carried off with him the balance of the funds which in their innocence or their hopeful- ness they had expected him to divide pro rata among them. They are now terribly incensed against him, and do not scruple to express the wish that the United States government would cateh and hang him. Noue ef them, however, earned the money ar did receive half as faithfully as did Mr, Ben Wood. Since Jake Thompson’s departure his followers have in some degree helped each other; but there is a feeing of jealousy among them, and this division of the spoiis has stopped. Some of them accuse others of having secured more than thoy care to avow, and all appear to dread the time when the exchequer shall be entirely empty, ‘for,’ they say, ‘these Canadians don’t care a straw for us now, would rather like to be rid of us, andgvill not show us a single favor beyond what we can pay for.”’ It is rumored that they have received some material aid recent}yMrom certain of their sympathizing friends in New York; but this they know is only a temporary relief, and hence their present anxiety to obtain pardons and cut loose from Canada, I should have said that Governors Foote and Westcott, instead of living at the hotel, have taken a modest apart- ment, and live, asthey can, together. Dr. Pallen, of Missouri, is not included in the list of dependents, for he has means of his own. A LITRRARY REFUGEE. - Dr. Pallen, too, is not without occupation. He is gentleman of literary tastes and a good writer, and em loys himself mainly in ber apeging | new stories. He put Enoch Arden upon the stags ere, and bis drama 18 well spoken of by the press. le has dramatized Lu- cille, also, and is making arrangements for its produc- tion. He has quite a reputation in his profession, and has been offered opportunities to practise. He appears to feel confident that he shall be fully acquitted of the only thing laid to his charge—the attempt or proposition to poison the Croton aqueduct, and has pr: duced an array of figures which certainly, if correct, would dispel the idea of any scientific man entertaining such a project. “ANDERS AND THR MONIREAL PRESS. You will probably have observed that, with one excep- tion, the papers of Montreal have been silent on the attempted abduction of George N. Sanders, or have dis- missed the affair with a two line paragraph. The secret is, that they are afraid; first, of the United States, and did not care to denounce the attempt too vigorously, and secondly, of George himself, whom they regard as very tricky, and of whom they would like to be rid. It is said that George has wormed out some secrets among them which might embarrass them if now exposed. GEORGE AND THE ‘‘SHENT-PER-SHENTERS. ”? 1 told you in my last that Barlow's man, was here, in conference with Sanders and Tucker. ‘Their last consultation was held yesterday at St, Lawrence Hall. But in the meantime, the ever active and persevering Mr. Peter Cagger, who had been here some ten or twelve days before, and intended to return home by way of Portland, suddenly appeared again upon the scene, ac- companied by a body guard of regency politicians. It is said that he received information at Quebec of the arrival of the ‘ shent-per-shenters,"’ and burried back to Montreal. Cagger has no confidence in the New York city politicians, and more than suspects them of a design to throw overboard the regency. Hence his sudden return to head off the Bohemians of the World, The main object of the conference was to put George and Tucker in communication with their friends in the reorganizing States of the South, and to obtain their influence in persuading those States that their policy and interests are with the Northern shent- Looe pey tie omy ‘They desire some movement to ead off the attempt of Foote, Westcott and ojhers to take the South over, niggers and all, to the support of the republican party, ‘LEY AND PHILLIPS TO LOOK AFTER THEIR LAUREL. Sanders’ belief that if Messrs. Greeley, Phillips and Garrison would save their laurels, they must make a journey to Montreal and take lessons in the FPicocphy of negro suffrage of ex-Governors Foote and Westcott and their followers. Greeley and bis friends are theo. retical only, says Sanders, while these new lights of negro equality have a | erbgre knowledge of the subject of which they treat, Foote can beat them at their own ame. Game FH NEW YORK FRLLOWS NOT OF ANT ACCOUNT. General Carroll, of Tennessee, one of thore who have no exalted opinion of the New York politicians. When asked if he bad been cailed in to the conference, his reply was: “No, and don’t want to be. They're not of any account, those New York fellows.” General Carroll wili be remembered by many of our democrats as the leader of the Tennessee delegation in the Charleston and Baltimore conventions who refused to join the Breckinridge bolters and remained in the convention. He went home, organized a Don; electoral ticket, kept it in the Geld, and fought itat the polls. He was an earnest Myer of secession at the start, but in the end went with his State, AN ANECDOTE OF FOOTR. A few weeks since, when Consul General Potter te- turned from Detroit, an excited mob collected in the neighborhood of his office and counselled on the pro- [tod of eo down his flag and mobbing his office, jews of the excitement reached St, Lawrence Hall, where Governor Foote was sitting, in company with other Southerners, On hearing the account and the intention of the mob, Foote sprung up and declared his intention of going to the Consul’s office to defend the flag. ‘We've had our own fight over it,”’ said he, “but by no —— foreigner shall tear it down, unless over my dead body.” I have the story from | Potter himself, By the way, it is but justice to say that Mr, Potter, whose detestation of rebellion sympathizers is well known, expresses his conviction, from circumstances within his personal knowledge, of the innocence of Dr. Pallen of any complicity in the plots of the aseassing and incendiaries, and believes him guilty only of the one great crime of open rebellion against the govern- ment. CONSUT POTTER ON ANNRXATION. Mr. Potter has been very liberally denounced in Cana- da, and by some papers in the States, for the ech he made at the Detroit Convention; but be is un: in his position, and boldly maintains the ground that it is not the policy of eur government to grant any more one-sided Reciprocity treaties to the Canadians. Whil he never assumed to speak for the United States gor ernment at Detroit, he did say and still says tbat he went there with the knowledge and sanction of the govern- ment. He has excellent facilities for ascertaining the real sentiments of the business community here on the question of a political union with the States, and he adheres to the position -he assumed in hia remarks before the Convention, that annexation is wanted by the busi- ness men of Canada, and that the abrogation of recipro- city will basten annexation. My own observation con- firms Mr. Potter's belief. Mr. Potter's removal is de- toonded by the Canadii but you may rest assured thi s the very man to represent us here just now. \nows what the real feelings of the G jians were to- wards us during our struggle; and while be is fair and honorable towards their government, he knows how to appreciate their nt fawning d stands up firmly for the honor of his count ant true Americans @* our representatives at this time, and of those in the consulate whom I bave vet mot, Mr. Potter and Mr, ble, are of that stamp. Mr. Thurston, at Toronto, isa most efficient officer, but somewhat indulgent towards the anti-American senti- ments of the Canadian leaders. ‘YHE CANADIAN GABINGE IN A MUDDLE. Tho death of Sir E. P. Taché, the Premier, has thrown the Cabinet into a muddle. There is an understanding that the Premier shall come alternately from the Upper and Lower province. Sir E. P. Tache was, of course, a Lowor Canadian, and the position made vacant by his death belongs of right to Mr. George Brown, editor of the Toronto Globe, and at present the President of the Council. Brown is personally very objectionable to the French Canadians in the Cabinet and out of it, and especially to Cartier, to whom he affixed the title of “Codfish Cartier,’ which he still bears, The coalition brought them together, but there have been suspicions and jealousica among them all the time, and it is thought that if Brown insists upon his right, as the strongest Upper Canadian, to be called in as Premier, Cartier will resign and the coalition break up. The hope of the spoils attendant upon the proposed confederation and measures dependent upon it can alone hold the Cabinet together. ‘The Lower Cant are urging that under the coalition, if it is a sincere*union of the former | opposing elements, it can make no difference from which section the Premier may be taken, and they urge the selection of Cartier. Then comes the question, will Geo. Brown serve under Codfish Cartier, the Lower Cana- dian politicians do not hesitate to openly avow that he will serve under Codfiah Cartier, or uader 8 power that shal! be nameless, 80 long a8 he can be allowed to retain office and share in its benefits, which just now promise to be unusually great. As a compromise, however, the Lower Canadians propose that Brown shall agree to the romotion ef John A. Macdonald, an a Canadian, but a fast friend and close political ally of Cartier, to the premiership over his head. Thus mattars stand, and a few days must big Be muddle to culmination. The vacant place in the Cabinot will probably be filled by M. Cauchon, member for Montmorency, a Frenchman who never goes to church, but wields more iniluence with the priesthood than any other man, SLOW TRADE AND QUICK TRAVEL. the general complaint is the utter prosiration of trade. Never was business 80 stagnant as at the present time. I glance now at a Mon- treal re and see the imports for one week, ending i In Lower as in Upper July 25, as compared with the onding week last year. In 1864 the amount was over one million of dol- lars. In 1865 it is three hundred and odd thousands. And the story is the same from week to week. What wonder, then, that the cry for annexation and relief should ring im the ears of our Consui General and come to the knowledge of the manager of the telegraph line as it shoots along the wires? In marked contrast to the stagnation of trade is the rush of travel. The St. Lawrence Hall is crowded, and through that house flows an unbroken stroam of pleasure seokers daily from the waters of the St. Lawrence to those of the Saguenay. These travellers, too, are nearly all Americans, and they bear evidence of the wealth and prosperity of the States not at all consoling to the de- caying Canadians. As a Canadian-born annexationist re- marked to me the other day, pointing to a fresh arrival of bustling Yankees, filling half a dozen omnibuses with their persons and as many wagons with their bag- gage, ‘This is the best argument we can use in favor of annexation.’’ AN ENGLISHMAN AT CHURCH. A good anecdote was related to a party of Americans by an Irish hackdriver tho other day. An English Cock- ney, just arrived, stepped out of St. Lawrence Hall one Sunday, and entered @ hack, driven by a rough Hiber- nian. ‘Haw, fellah #” guid the Cockney, “drive me to Christ’s church.”” Christ church is the Protestant Episcopal, or Church of England, place of worship. The driver, however, landed his fare at st. Patrick’s Roman Catholic church, and the Englishman entered and found himself in the midst of the celebration of high mass. He retreated hastily, and angrily reproached the driver. “Haw, fellah! { told you to drive me to Christ’s church, and you bring me here.” “To be sure I did,” answered the ‘driver; “and ir this insn’t Christ’s church you needn’t look any furder, for the devil a one of his churches will you find in Montreal.” The Englishman finished his journey on foot. A MARRIAGE IN It is sometimes said, yu must news from home.’’ I have found an illustration of this, having learned in this city of a marriage to take place this month at our State capital. A distinguished gentle- man, who holds a most lucrative office in the New York Central Railroad, and who has borne senatorial (State) and congressional honors, is about to lead to the altar the daughter of a distinguished ex-jurist, whose name has been for years a standing one among the democracy for umnbarnateeial and other honors, Both are citizens of Albany. The marriage, as described by 7 lady, is between ‘‘dignified sixty and amiable twenty- ive.”? Police Intelligence. AN EX-CUBAN POLICEMAN CHARGED WITH GRAND LARCENY—TWO COMPLAINTS. For some days past our detective police have been on the alert for a young Cuban’ named Manuel De Oliver, against whom complaints had been made for robbing boarding houses. De Oliver magaged to elude the police till yesterday, when detective Tiley, of the Third pre- cinct, arrested him. The prisoner stands charged with steal ing a gold watch and chain, valued at four hundred and fifty dollars, from Louisa Jackson, residing at No. 40 Exst Houston street, on the 23d ultimo. It appearsthat De Oliver entered the cumplainant’s room, and, during her absence, he took the watch and chain from the bureau drawer, and left the house with the property. Katherina Dean, residing at No. 75 Mercer street, also makes a comp!aint agatnst De Oliver, charging that on the 30th ultimo he stole a gold watch and chain, valued atone hundred and fifty dollars, from her room, which left in a clandestine manner at six o’olock im the ning. None of the stolon property has been recov- erod, but officer Tilly is in search of it, with a fale pros- 1 of success. De Oliver is unable to speak a word of English, but from Mr. Strauss, attached to Police Head- quarters, who acted as interpreter, it appeared that the accused, who is a native of iba, and twenty-five years of age, lives at No. 94 West Pwensiath strect. Italso ther appeared that De Oliver had been a potice officer in Havapa for upwards of three years, Justice Dowling committed the accused for trial on both complaints. ROBBING SOLDIERS. Officers Horbelt and Mullen, of the Fourth precinct, yesterday arrested a man named William Doty, on the charge of having stolen $300 in Treasury notes from Joseph Martin, a returned soldier, living at 374 Water street. The two were on a spree together, when suddenly isappeared, after which Martin missed his money army discharge. Sul uently Doty was found by Martin, and given in charge of the officers, who found Martin's diecharge in his possession, but none of the stolen money was recovered. Justice Dowling committed Doty for trial in default of bail. John Riley, a returned soldier, was robbed of one hun- dred dollars in the disreputable place. 17 North Wiliam street, of which Mary Lace is proprietress. Riley makes affidavit before Justice Dowling that Mary and another person took him out to various saloons, and, after getting him intoxicated, returned to 17 North William street. He there fell asleep, and before awaking the money was taken from his pocket. Mary Lace was arrested by ofi- cers Horbelt and Mullen, of the Fourth precinct, and Justice Dowling committed her to the Tombs for trial. The accused denies her guilt, and says the money was not taken in Place. RIVER THIEVES—SHOOTING AT AN OFFICER. As officer Broadhead, of the Thirteenth precinct, was patrolling his post in South etrect, near Jackson, at a late hour on Wednesday night, he discovered some thieves attempting to land in a small boat at the bulk- head at Jackson street. As the men came ashore th officer arrested one of them; but the prisoner was imme- diately rescued by his confederates, one of whom fired a pistol ‘at the officer, the bullet passing through his cap, vat without touching his head. The river thieves then jumped into the boat and escaped with their plunder. ¢ men are known, and an effort will be made to arrest them by the Thirteenth precinct police. PLAYING THE DETECTIVE—CARRYING THE JOKE TOO PAR. Mr. John Murray, residing at 16% Downing street, appeared before Justice Ledwith and preferred a com- plaint against Alonzo Jourdan, # pretended detective, charging him with threatenii to shoot. Mr. Murray alleges that be was accosted wy jourdan, who nted brmself as a detective. jurray doubted Jourdan’s authority to make arrests, whereupon the latter drew a revolver from his breast pocket and threatened to blow Murray's brains out. Before he could accomplish his purpose, however, officer Knight, of the Twenty-eighth — interfered and arrested Jourdan, who was taken efore Justice Ledwith and committed in default of $2,000 bail. STEALING A HORSE AND WAGON, A young man named John McLaughlin was arrested yesterday charged with stealing a horse and wagon valued at one hundred dollars from Patrick Sullivan, re- siding at 304 Grand street. McLaughlia was caught in the act of driving the horse away by Mr. Sullivan, Jus- tice Dowling committed theo prisoner for trial. TO THE BDITOR OF THE HERALD.

OUR HIGHLANDS OF NAVESINK CORRESPONDENOE. Hionianns or Navesivx, N. J., July 31, 1865, This has been a great day for the Jersey sea coast from Sandy Hook to Long Branch. “Long looked for but come at last,’’ we have had the practical inaugnration of the Long Branch and Sea Shore Railroad, and the new steamboat line, thence connecting with New York at Barclay street. Saturday always brings down to these regions a heavy reinforcement of visttorsat every point from these Highlands-to ‘“‘the Branch," seven miles be- low, and the diffusion of the good news that this new line would be opened from ‘the Branch” on Monday morn- ing, the last day of July, brought down an extra number to our usual Saturday's list of arrivals; for there was an assurance of getting up to town in time, and a choice of two regular linos—the line which to the westward (tho Raritan and Delawaro, Bay line) makes the circuit of these hills by way of Red Bank and Port Monmouth, and this shore line, which runs the base of the triangle on their Atlantic front, Long Branch, as the hour (twenty minutes past seven A. M.) approached for the departure of the first morning cars on both lines, was in an extraordinary state of ex- citement, and the general rush from all the hotels was for the station of the seashore line. It was something new; it was shorter; it was more direct; it was more ro- mantic; and the first trip on this new line was to be something of an event to be remembered. The hotels—and they form quite a goodly sized town, scattered over an immense grassy in—turned out their volunteers by thousands to it in this important event. The terminus of the Seashore line and that of the Raritan line aro within gunshot of each other, and all the intervening fhways and byways were filled with private carriages and the hotel umbulances, inter- mingled with a countless throng of foot passengers, full of the prevailing excitement. ‘rhe scene was something like that at a first class horse race, in the morning drapery of Long Branch, light, cool and breezy, the ladies appearing unusually attractive from the exhilara- tion of the impending trial between the two lines, There was considerable betting in a small way on the result. The issue was doubtful; tor although the ep ey line has by four or five miles the inside track, tho Rarivan line has the shorter passage by water from’ Port Monmouth, which nearly equalizes the trip in point of time. But the great advantage of the shore line is this: that the porte done by rail is close by the surf of the surrounding sea and its invigorating air, and free from the dust and heat of the interior. Both lines are useful, and can be sustained; but this shore line will prove an immense acquisition to the peo- ple of New York; for by next July it will build up be- tween Sandy Hook and Loug Branch new hotels for the accommodation of ten thousand people, and on the score of the saving of time and money there will bo people enough to fill them; and thousands will come and occupy the sheltered nooks of these highlands “all the year round.’’ This road, in fact, has added a new extensive, healthy and beaut.ful subyrb to Nevesink. How many passengers would have been brought away this first trip bad there been cars enough to accommodate them we cannot tell; but all the cars on hand, equal to six hundred passen- gers, were filled, ‘and quite a crowd of applicants Temained behind. The Raritan Bay train, however, brought away a considerable passenger list, although, from the advantages of this scashore line, it was apparent this morning that it must henceforward be “tie line’ to Long Branch. We will start from that terminus fora nine miles’ run by rail along the sea shore. We pass be- twech luxuriant corn flelds for a mile or two, and then strike upon that long selvage of sand which divides the jJake-like waters of Shrewsbury inlet from the surf line of the glittering Atlantic. Here and there hillocks of sand, thinly covered with a tough, wiry grass, cut off the broad expanse of the ocean; and hore and there we run 60 close to the breaking ocean waves that we can fecl in the cars a cooler current of air. Now we pass a solitary cabin, and then a whole village of fishermen’s huts, and their round topped icehouses, 1n which the spoils they capture from the sea are kept fresh till they can send them to mar- ket. Now we puss the beautiful Highlands of Navesink, and upon the pier over an arm of Sandy Hook bay, we ‘pass from the cars to the new, clean, tidy and swiit steamer Naveaink, Captain Frazee, which brings us to the covered pier at Barclay street, within two hours of our de- parture from Long Branch. Within two hours the down trip was accomplished, and the svcond up trip, with two hundred and fifty passengers, though detained at several way stations, established the average of this line as in- aide of two hours, everything working admirably. The time on the other line is thus far only a few minutes less on the average. From randy Hook to Long Branch all the inhabitants of these regions are delighted at the successful opening of this new line, At regular hours, regardless of the tides, it establishes a quick and pleasant trip from the city to all these places by the sea, and gives am oppor- tunity for parties who cunnot spare more, to give one day toa trip down here, and those who cannot afford even a day may come even down to the Branch, or any inter- vening point for a few pleasant hours of recreation by the open sea. ‘These Highlands are now within an hour and a half of New York, and Long Branch is within two hours, twice day, lorenoon and atternoon, and this great desidera- tum being gained by this seashore railroad, there is room enough along the waters, and there will be busi- ness enough for a hundred additions to their present accommodations and attractions for travellers, great as these attractions are, Truly this Long Branch and Sea Shore Railroad inaugurates a new era for New Jersey, and for the suffocating million of New York city. Aveusr 2—In honor of the opening of this new road, and in consideration of tho quick, regular and conve- nient communication it bas established for business men between these Highlands and New York, the young lad.es and genta of Thompson's Atlantic Pavilion cele- brated the occasion last nignt in a very successful mas- querade and fancy dress ball—‘‘wn baile in mascherc.” Mr. W. F. Hall, of New York, took the matter in hand on Nionday morning among the ladies, whe responded to his ego with enthusiasm, and immediately went to work. Mr. Henry French, assisted by Master W. Chambers and a corps of active youngsters, undertook the decoration of the ballroom with light flags, flowers and evergreens, and the other necessary arrangements, in which they exhibited considerable skill, taste and activity. At nine o'clock . M. the doors were opened, and at ten Thompson's establishment was in'a blaze of glory.

The adjourned session, last night, of the coroner's jury was a protracted one—the point of hesita- tion being whether the verdict should be, that the de ceased came to their death by blows of an axe and knife in the hands of Albert Starkweather; or, “from the hand of some person to the jury unknown.” At length they decided on this verdict:—‘“That Mrs. Benjamin Starkweather and Ella Starkweather camo to thelr deaths by blows inflicted with an axe and knife from the hand of Albert L.
