STRAMBOAT ANDREW FLETCHER. Previous to the calamity of the destruction of the Fletcher by fire on the morning of the 20th of December, astatemenit of which has already been sent to the Board, she had been most carefully repaired and putin thorough rder, Previous to these repairs she was in a most dilap- idatod condition; the boiler, which was new only a year -ainee, leaked so badly that over lialt the flues were stopped with incrusted salt; the engine was so imperfect in its valves and valve seats that the little steam which could be raised ina great measure escaped, and tho boat had & generally shabby appearance. certificate of in- spection was subsequent to the general repairs, and I con sider the imperfect felting of the boiler and the proximity of the woodwork as the immediate causes of her destruction. As the boat was owne and run by the State, it was but proper the State should have the benefit of what money was earned by her, She was not permitted to do any towing, except of the vessels belonging to the State; indeed, every prerogative which had been assumed to her and which had been the cause of great dissatistaction among the shipping Interests was Abandoned, except the transportation of sick to the dif- ferent hospitals, In this duty she has been much occu- ied, having taken over Jour hundred cases of smallpox PoSiackwell's Island, besides many cases of fever tine hospitalin the lower bay. the past season have bee: over to the Commissioners of Quarantine, and $160 ts due, Sytnot yet collected.

OBITUARY. Edward Suffern. Mr. Edward Suffern died at his residence, Ramapo, Rockland county, State of New York. on Saturday, the 4th instant, at the age of eighty-three years, Mr. Suffern was equally venerable in years and respected by the community. He studied law in his youth, and practised the profession with great assiduity and success in his adult years. He Served as District Attorney of Rockland county in the Hoge 818, He was elected member of Assembly in the year 1826, and discharged the dutiesof the representative function in the legislative body from tnat period to the year 18:5. His lite career was marked ,by uprightness and probity of chra- acter, and it has been terminated amid the regrets ofa wide virclo of friends, His remaius will be buried from Christy Church, Sutfern, to-morrow, the 7th instant, Vincent Pol. Vincent Pol, one of the most eminent of modern Polish poets after Mickiewicz, diced at Lemberg just lately, in the sixty-sixth year of his age. His “Songs of Janus,” written during the Polish insur- rection of 1830, in which he fought as a common soldier, soon gained a wide popularity, and many of them are sung by the Polish peasantry to-day. Scarcely less popular are the “Song About Our Country” and “Mohort,’”’ both full of the fervid | ated ey which is characteristic of the best olish poetry of the present time, and remarkable fora style at once vigorous and simple, Vincent Pol fliled for some years be ore bis death the coair of Ethnology in the University of Cracow, and was appointed a member of the new Academy of Sci- ehces in that city; but his bad health, which had brought on @ temporary attack vf blindness, al- most incapacitated him irom work. He was buried at Cracow in the presence of several thou- sands of his countrymen who had assembled to do honor to his memory. Henry Blagrove. Henry Blagrove, one of the most renowned, if not the most renowned, of English violinists, has died, at his residence, in London, after @ length- ened and severe illness, Mr. Blagrove, with the late Mr. Charles Lucas, Mr. T. M. Mudie, Mr. Grat- tan Cooke and others, most of whom, like himself, alterward became eminent in the musical profes- sion, Was among the first students admitted to the Royal Academy of Music when that institution was founded, about half a century ago. He there dis- tinguished himself, and acquired a proiiciency much like that alterwards acquired on the ptano- ferte by his teliow student, Sterndale (now Sir Sterndale) Bennett. In order to perfect himself in his art Mr. Blagrove went to Germany, and for some time enjosed the advantage of instructions from Dr. Spohr. He also took friendly counsel of Bernhard Molique, who, a genuine disviple of Spohr’s, stood nearest to that inaster as composer for and per- former on the violin. On his return from Ger- many Mr. Blagrove, at a concert given by the Philharmonic Society, introduced one of the con- certos of Molique, and played so admirably and with so much applause that when the composer himself, a year or two later, paid his first visit to England and made his début with another of his concertos at the Piitharmonic, the essay of the Englishman stadent cannot be said to have been eclipsed, Mr. Blagrove during very many years occupied the position of a foremost vioiinist, and whether as solo player or orchestral “leader” at the Philharmonic Society, at the Opera or at the great provincial festivals, maintained his suprem- acy uncisputed, Chancellor Massingberd.

He took his M, A. degree in the following year, and was ordained deacon by the Bishop of Oxiord in 1824 and priest by the Bishop of Lincoln in 1825. He bad been rector of South Ormsby, Lincolnshire, a family living, throughout life, and been a Prebendary of Lincoln Cathedral for many —_ became o Ohancellor and canon in 1862. At once orthodox and prudent, firm in the maintenance of what he believed to be the truth, and yet conciliatory to those Who differed from him, the late Chancellor is mourned by many churchmen, who, while not sym- pattusing with all his (to them) old-lashioned opin- jong, yet held in the highest regard his genuine | plety, unaffected simplicity and honesty of pur- ose. He took a warm interest from the first in he revival of convocation, as to which he pub- lished several pamphiets, and was an active mem- ber of the Eastern Church Association, The last important question in which the deceased took part was the opposition to Dr. Temple's consecra- tion. He was a member of Mr. Gathorne Hardy's Oxford Committee, and was an old-fashioned tory as ‘Well as churchma POISONING A FAMILY BY ARSENIO, Sr. Louis, Mo., Jan. 4, 1873, Aspecial despatch from Decatur, Ii, says the family of Mr. A.

The Course of the Money Market Here and Abroad. RELAXATION AND EASIER RATES. The Week’s Fluctuations at the Stock Exchange. Quadrupling the Track of the New York Central. THE RANGE OF THE GOLD MARKET. Saturday’s Bank Statement and Its Suggestions, WALL STReer, Sunpay, Jan. 6, ae The week just closed, in embracing @ portion of the old and a portion of the new year, afforded in its first half the usual experience of stringent money incidental to the closing of business for the twelvemonth, and in its latter half the BEGINNING OF THE RELAXATION of the new year. The transactions in stoc! and gold were of @ limited extent, quence of the duiness attending the holiday of January 1, and the week has developed no impor- tant movement or changes im these several.com- modities, for, while the early stringency in money was fatal to activity im busi- ness, the later relaxation was too sudden toinvite general faith in its permanency. Up to Thursday the rate on call among the stockbrokers Was the extravagant so-called “commission” of 3 @ per cent, the first business day of the new year being as bad in this respect as most of its im- mediate predecessors of the old, But by Friday noon THE JANUARY DISBURSEMENTS began to make themselves (elt, for the reason, doubtiess, that the very stringency in money had caused people to hasten to draw their dividends and interest and redeposit or reinvest them. The rate on call declined to plain 7 per cent by three O'clock the same afternoon. On the next day there was a spasmodic but brief-lived recurrence of stringency, and as high as 1-16 was paid for the use of money until Monday, but the rate again gave way as the day advanced and had falien to FOUR PER CENT PER ANNUM before the close of banking hours, Had not the bank statement been as favorable as it proved, and had not the loans of the banks been so liberally in- creased as reported in their statement, the relaxa- tionin money would have been regarded, and might be reasonably looked upon, as spasmodic and evanescent, Last year the money market was fully two weeks in getting as easy as it did in the past two days. It is highly improbable, of course, that we shall experience a four per cent money market in the immediate future. Such @ contin- gency istoo much to expect before the midsum- mer stagnation of business and trade, But with the willingness of the banks to enlarge their loans there is evidently a belief among their officials that we have passed the CLIMAX OF THE STRINGENCY in money until the Spring needs of trade, indus- try and agriculture shall make a new demand upon our local supply. Abroad we find coincident re- laxation, In London money is down to 3) a4 per cent on the street, against 5 per cent at bark, a discrepancy which will probably be adjusted by the Bank of England directors at their next mect- ing. Our latest mail advices quote money 4 per cent in Hamburg, 43s per cent in Amsterdam, 4% per centin Berlin and Frankiort, and 5 per cent in Brussels and Paris—all of which rates were ante- cedent to the decline im London from 6 to 334 per cent. The German imperial treasury was to re- lease about $80,000,000 of gold coin on the Ist of January in REDEMPTION OF THE LOAN contracted in prosecution of the war against France, and, while it was feared at one time that this money would remain in Germany as a substi- tute for the demonetized silver currency 01 that country, it is quite evident, from the sudden relaxa- tion in London within a few days past, that a good portion of the money has already started for Eng- land, fit has not arrived there. In the discount market we find as yet no reflection of the easier terms for money on call, but the delay ts only a matter of a few weeks, if not of a few days. The foreign exchanges have been easier under the greater willingness of the bankers to draw on Europe, and sterling le/t off at a decline to 1104 a 110% for prime sight bills, In THE STOCK MARKET &@ firmer tone has prevailed, and prices made steady headway aguinst the tightness of the money market, the rise ranging from 1 vo 3 per cent, with, at the very close on Saturday,a reaction of \s a 1 per cent inthe shares more conspicuous in the advance, New York Central has been as high as 100% on @ quiet demand from parties who profess to be in the secret that the veteran Commodore, having Ween defeated in his plan of raising money in Europe for the quad+ rupling of the track, has decided to issue about sixty millions of new stock to present stockholders for an equivaient of only fifty per cent of its par value. Erie has tollowed the course of the London quotation more or less closely in a FLUCTUATION FOR THE WEEK of3% per cent. In the buoyancy attending the early stages of the relaxation in money, and before the arrival of Saturday afternoon induced the usual sales to realize, Union Pacific and ©., 0. and I. C. were prominent for their activity, the latter being @ recent favorite with tie Stockwell party‘ whose leader, like Vanderbilt, it is 80 said, abandoned steamsiip enterprises for railways. The latest event was a sudden tumble in Boston, Hartford ani Erie, which went off to 7 on @ rumor that the bondholders intend fore- closing their mortgages—a story offset by another that the “break” is part of a programme for a “bull movement in the stock, At the government board there was a lower range of quotations at the close, sympathetically with the downward turn in gold, which went off from 1124 to 1113 DIVIDENDS, COUPONS, 40. The ‘following additional announcements are made in our advertising columns :— ‘The Mutual Benefit Savings Bank, of 166 Nassau street, has declared a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent per annum, payable January 21. The Union Dime Savings Bank, of 396 Canal street, has declared a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent per annum, payable January 20, According to the semi-annual report just published the bank has assets amounting to $10,977,044, of which $720,169 is surplus. According to the twenty-third annual report of the United States Life Insurance Company the agsets of the company are $3,940,999, The number of policies issued in 1872 was 3,504, an increase of sixty-eight per cent over 1871.

The return of currency to this centre is reflected in a small gain in legal tenders, the aver-'{ age of which is arising one, while the coin payments by the government on account ef January interest have added a further instalment of two and a quar- ter millions to the item of reserve. The stronger position in which the banks find themselves has allowed them to extend their loans over three mil- lions, which, with the gain in reserve already re- ferred to, appears in an increase of five and a quar- ter millions in the deposits, The statement com- pares with its predecessor as follows :— Dec, 28, Jan, 4.
