In the HERALD of yesterday the opening of the oMices of the new female firm of Woodhull, Claflin & Co, was announced. From early morning till the closing of we business houses in Wall and Broad Streets the oifices of the ladies were besieged with hosts of visitors, of whom many were led by curi- osity, excited by the notice that appeared in the HERALD; but a large number of business men—the members and representatives of the leading firms on the “street’—called to pay their reepects and to form the acquaintance of the handsome adven- turesses. The curiosities of commerce and banking are more fascinating than the curiosities of crime; hence the trst banking house opened by ladies during the bystling 6,000 years that have elapsed since Eve brought misfortune and grief upon her daughters is naturally a wonder, and not destined to be & “nine days’ wonder.’ People of all classes thronged yesterday at No, 44 Broad street. Spimsters, elderly and sedate, with a large experience of the world, but with a litte larger suspicton of its monetary transacvions, and with longer purses, siill come to learn how they may turn their moneys, which have not practically been bearing any terest, to tue best account. Blondes, fair and fresh ag pippins, entered with a rich twin- kle of humor in their eyes, but bewitched by curt- osity, and afterwards delighted with all they saw and heard, left the premises bethinking themselves that that there were othér things to live for be- sides cosmetics, the toilet, fashion and vanity. Hardy old veterans, who have been stumping it for @ long time on short legs, took @ turn in, but the atmosphere of the establishment did not seem to agree with their temperament and they left, under the impression that if money were to be le there it should be made legitimately.

The Tadies received their visitors with @ coolness aud an eye to business that drew forth the plaudits Sud the curses of old veterans. Every large house im the street went to take notes of the movements of the liougsses. losis of friends witn ad- vanced ideas put forth their opinions and proffered their counsels, hosts who came to scot and to mock the gentie lionesses who dured to take stand im the most stormy and un- certain arena of life, pressed forward, but the blaudishnents aud the opinions of all comers were received With an amount of dare-devil seii-posses- sion that indicaicd to the “Street” that Woodhull, Ciafin & Co, appreciated the situation, that they .knew their pusiness, and that they proposed to take the stand like men, afd to meee meu on dollars and cents, bandsome features, gentle features and a profusion of blonde locks to te contrary notwith- standing.

LONDON, Jan. 15, 1870. ‘This splendid vessel vecame a total wreck near Cape Bon, in the Mediterranean, on Sunday the izth December, The particulars of this sad disaster are as foliows:—The Meteor was bound from Malta to Tunis, prior to taking part in the ceremony of the opening of the canal at Suez. She left Malta on Friday, the 10th December, at seven A. M., in tow of a tug. At half-past seven the tug was cast off and all sail made; the latter part of the day was squally, with variable winus.

At huaif-past one P. M. the maintopmast was sent up and the wain- Uopsall set; towards the middle part of the day the weather became cloudy aud the breeze fresuenea consideravly, with occasional showers.

At daylight lines were run on shore and a boat launched, aud as the vessel lay on her beam ends, at au angle of fifty degrees, lines were rigged ou deck to enaple the crew to walk thereon, and the work oi saving as inch stores as possible commenced iunmediately. Sails were unbent and sent ashore; spars, boats, pro- visions, shipwheel, and, in fact, everything that could be moved, was got out of ber. Unfortunately, as no sheers could be rigged to get out the lower masts, they were obliged to be cut away, and were both broken in falling. For twenty-two days the crew labored in saving property, and finally the vessel ‘was cut iu three pieces, in order that the timber con- tained in Ler, and whicn ts of great value at ‘tunis, may be more easily got on shore. Her late captain (Dayton), who has arrived at Cowes, in the Isle of Wight, England, attributes the loss of the Metcor to the fact that a strong current” not mentioned in any of the nautical works sei her on the land, and that in consequence of the lowness of shore and thickness of weather it was impossible to see any object distant 100 yards.

The Perry-Hayes Case a Third Time Before the Courts—The Application to Have the Prisoner, Edwin Perry, Ad- mitted to Bail. In the Kings County Supreme Court, at a spectal term, before Judge Gilbert, tue writ of habeas corpus in the case of Edwin Perry, the alleged assassin of Thomas Hayes, the hight watchman at Harbeck’s store, Farman street, having been made returnable yesterday morning, the prisuner was produced in court at tea o'clock, Messra. Charies Spencer and John H. Bergen, his counsel, were;present, and District Attorney Morris appearea for the people. Mr. Morris opposed the application to have Perry admitted to wail, and asked for a postponement of the case for a few days, as he had not had ample opportunity since the writ was lasued to prepare his case, Mr. Bergen—This man has been in prison since i the 28th of December. He has been twice tried be- fore the Vourt of Oyer and Terminer, and on each triai the jury disagreed. It is now @ matter of right thathe should be admitted to ball, He should ve allowed to have some chance to get a living for his family. He has been confined now over a month in jail on this charge, and I don’t see any reason my- self—of course I don’t know what object the Dis- trict Attorney may have, what reason Le may have for asking for CA re ag he the matter should be postponed. It ta not a question of fact before this court; it ia simply the question ag to whether, under the circumstances of this case, this man ought to be kept in custody. I don’t suppose that there are any new facts to be entered into in the case to support this be ee Mr. Morris said that he proposed to bring new facts and to show the court that this 1s not a case for bail under any circumstances. He therefore asked for @ postponement for @ reasonanle time. The Court—-You want to bring additional testi- mony? Mr. Morris—Yes, sir; I bave some now in my pos- session. Ihave had but two days since this notice, and all I ask for is @ reasonable time. ‘The Court—' is the statutory time. Mr. Morris—The statutory tune 1s eight days. c ‘The Court said now it was but twodays, Als Honor thought, however, that tue application for a pestponement Was reasonable. Mr. Spencer—May it please your Honor, I oppose, sir, any postponement of this matter. This hom. cide was committed on the evening of the 28th of December last. The District Attorney did not post- pone proceeding to obtain an indictment. This man was indicted within a week and his trial mqved on within a week, and’a postponement then from Wednesday until Monday of the trial was opposed by the District Attorney. Finally, @ tial was had, and upon the disagreement of the jury on that trial within a fortnight or thereabouis We are forced to trial again. ‘Lat trial consumes days and the jury disagrees, and now after all the haste to try Wis inan within thirty days of the homicide, twice—a haste of which I do not complain, and [ will take this occasion to say that 1 belleve the District Attorney in this case has been actuated by a con- scientious sense of duty, out J say it was haste for all that. The District Attorney to-day comes here to be beard on the qnestion of bail for the first ume, and asks Jor @ postponement. Cui bono? Why should it be doue? The petition sets forth facts which are indisputable. ‘The evidence transcribed by the stenographer would be at your Honor’s ser- vice, so that there could be no mistake as to a soll- tary word in it, and every tact and circumstance bearing upon the question whether this man at this ume ought to be adinitied to bail can as readily ve presented to your Honor for your consideration to-day as days hence. ‘The Court—The District Attorney has new facts. Mr, Spencer—May it please your Wonor, every day that has passed by since Mr. Perry was arrested bas given opportunity for obtaining new facta, but \ these new Tous at urial | will take occasion to say In the presence of the District Attorney new tes- timony has been discovered on the part of chis man which in any judgment will msure him beyond donbdt a prompt acquittal at the hands of any jury— new developments are inuring to bis benefit rather than to his injury, r. Speneer reiterated his opposition to a post- Ponement, but the Court without hearing further argument granted the application of the District Attorney and postponed te case untli Wednesday morning next, Perry Was then remanded to jail.

Among the visitors were Mr. A. 'T.

However, during the day he was so busy that he was unable vo peep in upon the resort of the bulis and bears, ahd. the latter were very much cha- grined in consequence, About a quarter past two o’clock he and his suite left the Brevoort House, and at three o'clock took their departure from the Twenty-seventh street depot for Boston.

AS for the story made so much of in some of the evening papers yesterday that several men had been arrested who were lurking about Judge Stoughton’s residence on the night of the Prince’s reception, with a view of assassinating him, it may be said that the@ssassination part of the yarn 1s all bosh. ‘The same paper states that the Prince learned of the designs of the men and leit Mr. Stoughton’s resi- dence secretly.

Near Sevenieenth street, but not near where the reception took piace, a police officer arrested some drunken men, but not one of them mentioned tne fact that he had any intention to do harm to Prince Arthur. Indeed, one of them, whom our reporters had a conversation with yesterday afiernoun tn relation to the rumor that he and ms compantons had designs on the Prince, treated the thing a8 & good joke, and declared tuat be nor they were not uware wuen om their “spree” that his Royal Highness was in the neighborhood at ail. ‘The Prince left Mr. Stoughton’s at # jate hour by we same door he had entered, aud was treated by the few persons congregated on the sidewaik at tie ume as he passed to bis carriage with tle sam marks of respect as he bad been dutiuy we week wherever and whenever he had made his ap- pearance iu puvlic.

Bostox, Feb. 6, 1870, Prince Arthur and his suite, accompanied by Minister Thornton, arrived to-night in the midnight train, The trip from New York hither was one of unexceptionable enjoyment, and there were numerous demonstrations along the route. There were large crowds at Stamford, Norwalk, Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford, Spring. field and Worcester, and the Prince was loudly cheered whenever the throngs could get a giimse at him. Op account of the late. ness of the hour when the train arrived there was not much of @ crowd to receive him in Boston. The party drove immediately to the St. James Hotel, where the Prince will make his headquarters during his stay here. On Tuesday he will attend the faneral of she iate George Peabody and leave in the evening for Montreat. FIRE IN MAIDEN LANE, Loss About Twenty-five Thousand Dollars.

Panis, Jan. 21, 1870, Bals masquis at the opera ever maugurate the carnival season in Paris, on which nights this capl- tal 18 supposed to run crazy with joy, and Folly in slashed satin is privileged not only to ring all the bells on her own cloth®® but to pull all the others she can reach on tiptoe. Folly has doae nothing of the kind this year, and the last bal masque given was in every way @ damper. Murder, riots, the scaffold and prosecutions—these are tle garb the carnival i disguised in; and then there have been a few restriciions enforced with a view to “moralize”’ public balis—a «ind intention, i suppose, to make them go edifying that in time, when all the other things termed “of the future’’ are realities, we shall find masked balls At places for daughters to take their mothers to, the objection now being that mothers cannot go with their daughters, The most notable reform is that which prohibits the admittance of men dressed in women’s clothing. In a certain measure this restriction 1s weil meant, for whoever has been taken in by a shadow of this kind must have defined the hoax “too bad.” The other reform imposes a fine of ten francs at the doof to women who are disguised in men’s clothes. 1 fear: this clause will give rise to contestation or arduous investiga- tion at the entrance of the opera house, for no lady in male attire will pay down ten francs for a sex she does not belong to. I will take advantage of this situation to point @ moral—namely, af of us who Were not born to be ticket receivers at opera houses should, on comparing professions, be thankful for the lot which has fallen to us, and that we are not Uucket collectors, The bon mot at the last val masqué was thought remarkably witty. I only know it gave me a cold shudder; but there I was, standing m an attitude of deep melancholy, and did not expect it, “Prince,” said a black domino, ‘lend me youf revolver.” I did not know tll much later in the evening that all who wore Venetian cloaks had had the same request made them, and that it was a hit at Prince Pierre Bonaparte, One of the favorite disguises was the “portfolio,” a leather suit with plenty of flaps and ministerial documents rolling out, Some explained this novelty by afirming it Was @ fling at the new Cabioet, others that 1 was Traupmann’s hidden pocketbook. ‘The costumes in high life most tn favor are to pe sultanas, Turks, Egyptians and sea ports.
