The history we present ‘this morning of the transactions of the Far- ‘mers and Mechanies! Life Insurance Company is even more glaring with proot of incompetency and sof actual disregard on the part of the company of ithe rights of the poucy holders and creditors of the @ustitution than that exhibited inthe proceedings taken by State Supermtendent Miller against the Great Western Lite Insurance Company, to which We have referred. As in the latter named case the Court appointed a rece.ver over the property, so of she defaulting compiny yesterday, in the matter of the Farmers’ ana Mechanics’ Life insurance Company, Judge Barnard has appo'nted an able and experienced receiver in the person of Mr. James H. Coleman, and so the matt rstauds at present.

ERIN, Action of the Reception CommitteeMeeting at the Supervisor's Office—A Smaller and More Effe ‘ive Commiitee Appointed. The committee of Tammany Hal appointed to ar- range for the reception of the gentlemen who have for uiany years sustained the cause of free govern- ment in the name of Ireland in Euglish prisons, and endured with so much m nly fortitude the horrible treatment fm) osed upon them by their English ene- nies, met yesterday in the Chamber of the Board of Supervisors. A conference committee from twe Bourad of Aldermen was in attendance. Mr, Richard O'Gorman, President of the Gene- ral Committee, presided. Senator Norton acted as secretary. The attendance of members was not very iarge, owing to the fact that many of them were absent on oMcial business, The fol- lowing named geutiemen, however, answerel to their names:—First ward, Nicholas Muller; Fifth ward, Terence Daffy; Sixth ward, P. Lysaght; Eleventa ward, Alderman Woltman; Thirteenth ward, T. O, Campbell; Fourteenth ward, Colonel Roberts; Sixteenth ward, R. O'Gorman; Seventeenth ward, Join Rewiy; Eightesnth ward, JamesS. Hen- nessy; Twenty-first ward, Comptroller Richard B. Connoily; T'wents-second wara, Judge Michael Con- nolly. After the organization of the mesting Mr. HEn- NESSY said that 1 would be better to have a smaller committee for work than that named, and with that object moved that an execative committer of fe be appointed by the char, to carry out the objects: mentioned mn the preimbie and resolntions under which the present Committee acted. The resolution was aloptod. The next business in order, the chairman said, Was the reports from wards. Mr. HENNESSY wanted to know when the money subscribed would be paid tn to the treasurer, Comptrolier CONNOLLY stated thatas yet he had received but thre payments, and suggested that measures should be taken to notily the subscribers vo pay inthe amount of thelr subscriptions by a certain day. Colonel W. R. RopeRts stated that tothe best of his Knowledgs the reteased prisouers would ar- rive in this city on Wednesday or Thursday week next. He expect to receive a telegraphic des- paten from Ir-lind announcing the numer who took their departure by the steamer, Alter eulo- gizing Tammany for its action he expressed A hope tiat “the money subscribed woula be expended m providiny for the necessities © the exiles alter a had been offered then by tie committee and the cit- izens generally. The people desired to co-operate with ihe commitiee, and would be glad to know how they coud ussist in the dewonstration, He was convinced that it was their desire to give such @recertion to these geatlemea Who had so no»ly upheld re, ublican principles in Ireland and England as would be ever remempered. Mr. O'GORM AN said he felt assured that after the reception woula be over then the important work of the co-umittee would commence in earnest. The exiles would be rece.ved in a becoming manner and their iinmediate necessities relieved; aiterwards they wou'd be afforded the means of mukiag a Iresh start in their new life im tae New World. After soine tu; ther remarks from Colonel Rohetts, Mr. Hennessy and Alderman Woltman, Mr. Kichard B. Connolly Said that on Saturday last he received acheck trem his iionor the Mayor for ihe sum of $500 towards the fund. The PresipENT then named the following as the Exe utive Com «aittee, with power to carry out tne intentions of the General Committee, the citizens and ‘he subscrivers to the reception fund:—James S.

The names of Richard O'Gorman ‘as chairnau) and Senavor Norton (as secretary) were atterwards added. ‘The comnuttee adjourned to meet at the call of the President of the meeting. Action of the Board of Aldermen. The Board of Aldermen held a meeting yesterday afternoon, at which the President, Thomas Coman, occupied the chair. The principal business of the ingeting was the appointment of a com mittee of live, consisting of Aldermen O'Neill Dimon¢, Irvins, Walsh and Jerome, to receive the Fenian ofiicers and patriots, in conjunction with a committee of five from the Board of Assistant Alderman, on tie arrivalin New York, an event which 13 only abont eight or-nine days distant. ‘the patriots will probably arrive in the Cuba, and, as our columns show to-day, there will be a magniticent reception given to them by the citizens, tne city governmeut and the miliary authorines. The two rd of Atdermen have not a3 yet mie their atrangements, but there will be a steamer hired and a brass band will accompany the cominittee down tha bay. There wil be a grand jecd” going dowa the bay, and several memoers are now having their old speeches cleaned up and revamped for the occasion, It will be w “great day for Ireland” when the exiles are received. OUR SABLE WAR PATRIOTS. Enlistment of Fifteenth Amendments in the Late War—A Recruiting Agent Looking Atter His Pay and the Colored Recruits Looking After Their Bounties. At that climacteric period of our civil war, when a nigger was considered an appropriate target for confederate bullets, quite an active enlistment of colored soldiers began in Steuben county. Taking the lead in procuring these enlistments, Mr. Con- stant Cook and Henry Sherwood, who also employed to assist them John Phytfe, certainly, with a dram which undoubiediy they procured besides, @ very efficient auxiliary in the success/ul prosecution of this kind of work. The serious part of the business 1s that Mr. Phyfe has brought an action against Cook and Sherwood to recover $6,900 Tor services alleged to have been r by him for them in procuring these enlistment: And this alone ts not the worst of it, ‘the cruel was over. Time came for pa; 5 recruits their bounties. Messrs. Cook and Sher- Wood also Wook charge of this part of the business. The county Ol Steuven, however, snspecting tat Cook and Sherwood were not reluable agents, I brought an action to restrain them irom Y he bousties of the cviored patriots, and Cook apd Sherwood, fearmg that tuey would be de- feuied in satd action, seon alter applied bo ex-L ernur bentou and bis oiiciais, av Albany, and suc- ceeded, through adroit poiiical management, in geting, It is sta ed, over a quarter of u milion ol collars irom ihe State, whicn they despaired of got tung irom Steuben county, The deendan alleged further, through @ remarkable abst mind, have Jatled to pay to the savie patrioue de- fenders of the Union their bounties, and Vhyfe for hus services in procuring the r eulistment. A suit has been brougat by the Attorney Geveral of tais State te recover back said moness troia Cook and Sherwood, which is now pending, and te proper reception | | t poor colored soldiers may yet be rewarded for their | patriotic services. Meantlne a mouon was made yes'erday, beiore Judge Sutheriand, of the Supreme Court, Chambers, to remove the suit from this city to Steuven county. Messrs, Doolittie, Davis and Nelson urged the motion with great vehemence of argument, and Aubert Day, with like urgeit persist- ency opposed it, After listening to the arguments the Court denied the motion, ‘the case promises to be an interesting one when it comes to trial. As to the trial to recover the bounty money, the fiteenth amendments are fighiing as hard for that as ever they did in the war times, KiNG JANES OF GOTHAM.

MOonpay, Jan, 96 P. xt On Change to-day wheat was quiet and steady, The cotton market was stronger aud prices about Mo. higher, MONEY EASIER, The money market begius to feel the effect of the return to the banks of the funda recently disbarsed ; to the public in the shape of taterest and dividends, The bank statement of Saturday being so highly favoraple lenders were better disposed to secure a prompt engagement of their money, and readily look advantage vf opportunities for placing large amounts at the legal rate for periods rang- ing from thirty to ninety days, On call loans with pledge of stock collaterals borrowers paid 91x to seven per cent, the latter being the more frequent rate, and on government bonds six to seven per cent, the former being the general figure. Commercial paper while still slow of sale shows a better fecting, but rates remain 7 @ 844 per cent dis- coant for pride deuble nan FORRIGN EXCHANGE STRONG, ‘The leading bankers continus firm im thelr rates for foreign exciange, the market being only scantily Supniied with commercial bills and bare of bond bills, The foliowing were the quotations at the close:—Sterling, sixty days commercial, 10334 a 109; good to prime bankers’, 1093f a 10944; do. short sight, 109% w 110; Antwerp, 5.20 a 6.16%: Swiss, 5.174 @ 5.1856; Hamburg, 3555 a 357%; Amsterdam, 4034 a 40%; Frauktort, 40's a 40%; Bremen, 734; o 7834; Russian thalers, 71'¢ a 714, GOVERNMEN.S STRONG, The present easier feeiing in the money market and prospective further relaxation in tho rate on call during the spring and summer months have led to a steady demand for government bonds as a temporary investment during an interval which will wituess very probably rates a8 low as two to three per cent for the transient use of capital. ‘These intlueaces as weil as the stronger tone of the gold market gave the government list a furtner up- ward inpulse to-day and tie improvement Was maintained to the close of street dealings, When the following quotations prevaiied:—United States currency sixes, 110% a 11034; States sixes, 1881, registered, 110% @ 110%; do. do., coupon, 110% a 110%; do, five-twenties, registered, May and November, 1083, a 108%; do. do,, 1862, Coupon, dv., 109 a 1004; do. do., 1864, do. do., 10834 @ 108%%; do. do., 1885, do, do., 10834 a 10854; do. do., registered, January and July, 10730 107%; do. do., 1885, coupon, do., 107}¢ @ 1075; do. do., 1867, 40. do,, 107% a 108; do. do., 1868, do. do, 1084 @ 103%; do. ten-forties, registered, 107% a 107; do. do., coupon, 107% @ 10734. GOLD FIRMER—110% 4 110%. The feeling in the Gold Room was more ballish than it has been fora longtime. The higher rates for sterling at this season are supposed to indicate that specie shipmeats will be resumed at an earlier day than usual in the spring. The cotion and pro- duce shipments are at present the only source of exchange, the transfer of flye-tweaties to Europe having gradually tapered down toa trifling weekly export. Again, the next disbursement of avy im- portance from the Treasury will not take place until May, leaving an interval of several months in which there will be no supply of gold bevond what may be received from Calornia or the Western nines. The street is especially bull- ish Oa this latter point. But it shoulu be remem- bered that the January disbursement 18 heavy enough to last a goed part of the time and that the least advance in gold will ship millions of dollars of cotton and wheat. The same influences should have beea operative at the corresponding period last year; but gold on tae 9th of March, 1870—mid- way of this gold droughi—fell to 119} amid great astonishment, ‘he course of the market vo-duy is shown in the tabi In the gold loan market the rates ranged from 54 to7 percent for carrying. The operations o/ the Gold Exchange Bank were as fullows:. Gold cleared. Gold balances....... Currency balances. eeee STOCKS STRONG AND ACTIVE. A large business was done at the Stuck Exchange, where # buoyant feeling prevaied. There ts a sort of sober second thougnt coming over the minds of capitalists as to the real situation of affairs in the country, and the conviction 1s growing strong that the “bears’? overdid their work in representing everytiing in se gloomy a light during their recent violent attack upon the stock market Especially Is this fecliug increasing when it is remem- bered that the authors of the current deiama- tory theories of the financial situation were the strongest Kinds of ‘ ulis,” when Northwest common was selling at 94, Northwest pre erred at 105, Rock Island at 126, Lake Shore at 102, New York Central at 102, Reading at 109, Ohto and Mis- sissippi at 42 (this stock, they said, was going to 75), and St. Paul at 74. The very men who preached the purchase of stocks at the above figures were coun- selling the puolic a few weeks ago to sell Northwest at 67, Lake Shore at 903g, New York Central at 897%, Ohio and Mississippi at 2634 and St. Paul at 43%. There is a hackneyed joke in Wali street about selling stocks when they are high and buying them wheu they are low, The philosophers who are now lecturing the public on the subject of the immense demoralization of moneyed investments give the public advice exactly the contrary of that contained in the familiar old jest of the street, Tae upward mevement of to-day was steady and at- tended with few reactions, and those only of a trifling extent, snowing the really strong undertone $19,611,600 1,657,246 1,728, 164 of the market. In fact, the only exception to the rise was afforded in the Hannibal and St. Joseph stocks, which suddenly broke to 89% for the commen and 102 for vhe preferred. A shrewd suspicion attends this “break,” however, im connection with the restora- tion to good standing of ceriain Boston frins, to whose embarrassment the fall had been originally attributed. Now that these heuses have resumed operations the “bears” ta Hannibal and St. Joseph found it necessary to mak» a& desperate effort to get ia their short stock, and hence the raid this after- noon at a late hour in a thin market.
