Accor nt who is interested in oloum directs: our atten’ ge ay of wells anization of the companies owning end he wishes to over whether ease isdue to misstatements of the » first instance or to dimin'shed liberality on the part ature, or to understatements of the preeent yield by the superintendents at the with or without the connivance of the directors of the companies con- corned. Ho cutertains a suspicion that frandulent sales of oil aro made at the wells, no return of which ever reaches olders. The abundance of oil in the open ma: hich keeps the price down to about 33. per gallon, is supposed to be hardly consistent with the reports of small yields, cousidering that the demand is not only fully as large as it ever was, but is undergoing a slight increase. pt would be almost impossible for our correspondent to obiain any satisfactory iyformation upon the points in question without close personal observation at the ‘wells and a careful comparison of the returns there with thoso rendered to the stockholders, and even then the effort to arrive at the truth would be beset with difficulties which in some cases would be likely to prove insurmountable. But as it is not impossible that the directors and superintendents of certain companies may be in league to defraud their stockbolders- in the manner suggested, and also that some superintendents may, unknown to the directors, be carrying out daily a system of fraud for their own personal benoilt, it is de- sirable that in suspected cases careful investizatons should be instituted, and these might result in some im- portant discoveries. The gold market has been firm, notwithstanding the recolpt of $955,142 by the Ocean Queen, from Aspinwall, Tho oponing price was 1405, from which there was a doctine of 34, followed by an advance tv 143%. It is not generally known that the Gold Exchango adopted @ resolution forbidding any of its members to attond or give orders to be oxecuted at tho Evening Exchange as long since as the 17th of February last; bat which, from the failure of the stock boards to pass a similar resolution, remained iu susp 1 to the present time, wien an additional resolutivn was adopted, inthe following terms:— Resolved, That, whereas, Tesolutions were pasee change, recommeudin tending at the Excl concurrence of the re brokers, it is H York Goid Exebai directly, at the & member of this be The original revvlutions referred to were entered in the minutes of the board as follows: Whereas, it bas become necessary for all brokers to attend personaly, or to be represented, at the Evening ‘Exehange, for the purpose of executing orders for thir customers; and Whereaz experience hus shown that such protracted nd cuntinucus atiention to the market is.demoralizi a its tendency, breai.s dowa the healih and robs nun io persous of the time and y to Which tueir fami- lies are primarily aud imperatively entitied; and Whereas thev® are no advantages gained that justify he exhaustion and sacrifices required; fore d, Lat no members of this Board shall attend or employ any Other broker or person to at ¢ Eveniag Exct.ange, or any Oiler place, alter tive o’tlock P.

Resolved, That ihis resolution shall take effect from aud after Monday, 20uh February tus. Gonoral satisfaction is expressed with the course of the Hearsvn in adyoouling the abolition of this night haunt of speculators, and the result of its directing public at- tention to the nuisance is regaried us a right triumph. The proprietor of the extabius! that it will still be kep: open as usual, bat we apprehend that if iu is the nightly assemblage which will gather within ita halls wiil be neither numorvus nor select. The principle of an evening exchange is wrong, andaithough its abolition may entail loss upon ite proprietor, private in- terosts stould not be permitted for a moment to stand in the way of the public good. The Stock Exchange and the country ure well ridded of whot should never have had an oxisience. Foreign cxchange was dull and 1 shade weaker. Bat ers’ bilis at sixty days were suid ot i0v%¢ a 100). Most of the loading drawers, however, askou 1099%. ‘The suppty of mousy is abundent at «x per cont, with exo ptional transactions at five and seven.

The government is about io dispose of its military rail- road roiling stock, wh ch includes in all about three hup- dred locomotives and nearly cight thousand cara, Some of rolling stock is new, and will doubtless bring a good price. But moet of the railway companies are averse to buying old rolling stock, as the cost of ropairs in a fow years oquals the prico of new stock.

(From the Alta California, August 2.) ‘A faint hope had been indulged by our shipowners and morchauts within the past week that the pirate Waddell had learned onough of the utter failure of the rebellion and the uselessness of further raids upon the commerce Of the United States to induce him to desist from his cowardly work of burning peac fal merchant and wh: hag Viste, uid endeavor to mMEo good, hla 65 ape la some friendly or “neutral” port, before a national vess.1 could overhaul hima and givd bim an opportunity to stretch hemp.

This hope was dissipated entirely by the arrival of the bark Gonoral Pike last evening, with the crows of °ven more burned vessels on board, It seems that Waddell destroyed tho Susan Abigail, as he had those previously taken, and then, being unable to pass through the ice Into the Guif of Anadyr, or the Sea of Okhotsk, went on towards Behring Strait’ and the Arctic Ocean, whore about eighty vessels, comprising the whole bulk of the Arctic Whaling flect, were cruising, declaring his intention of destroying every American vessel he could find, and pro- fossing to discredit the wholo story of the fulliire of phe confederacy on the ground that it was published in &e. &. “Northern papers” only, At St. Lawrence Island be burned the ship General Williams, of New London, with- ina mile and half of shore, and next morning fell in with five other vessels, which he captured and destroyed, and thon continued on his course. The story is told by the statements of the oilicerg of the captured vessels a3 follows :— EXTRACT FROM THE LOG OF THR GENERAL PIKE. BARK GineRat Pike, or New Buororn, Heston M, Crowxn., Master. On the morning of the 26th of June, 1865, at half-past. six o'clock, the General Pike, being in latitude 64 43 north, longitude 171 42 west, saw a steamer on our star. board quarter, steering directly for us, At half-past seven o'clock the ateame came up close under our stern and ordered me to come on board with my papers. She wed to be the Bagi irate, thief or robber Sea ing, called Shenandoah. Waddell, the pirate chief, told ie he should bond the General Pike; accordingly he had written what he called a ransom bond for $45,000, and [signed it by his order. ‘The chief then said he should put about onc hundred and sixty men on board of mo; but instead of that the brute, as he is, put two hun- dred and twenty-two men on boar, making, with m: own crew, two hundred and fifty-two men all told, crowded into this small ship. The pirate chief kept me ‘on board his vessol about five hours. The only th ng that he stole from me was the register of the General Pike. As I was leaving the p:rate chief to return to my ship, he said that if I did not have provisions enough on ‘board to reach San Franc’sco I must cook Kanakas, as I had plenty of them. Tho two hundred and twenty-two mon put on board wero the crows of seven shipé and barks that had been burned by the pirate, "All th masters agree in saying that they were prom- {acd all thoir priva‘e property; but, after getting them on board his vessel, ho robbed them of everything of value, or allowed hisoilicers or men to do it—showing plunder and robbery to be their object. On the 28th of June came to anchor in Plover Bay, and got two hundred barrels of frosh wator; sailed from Plover Bay on the $9th of June for San Francisco. On the 4th of July spoke bark Rich- mond, and about fifty of our prisoners went on board of her, our vessel being so crowded as to make it almost impossible to get any rest.
