Senor F. 8. Gutierrez, the President of the New Bogota Academy of Design. The opportunity for mentioning with praise some of the works executed during the last eight or nine months by Sefior F. 8, Gutierrez, the Mexican artist, is one which we have more than once made emphatic use of. And, now that this artist is about to leave us, to make for himself a permanent home elsewhere, there seems to be no impropriety in re- ferring to his characteristics as a workman and the inducements which incline him to depart. An academy of Design has been built in Bogota, Fras Sefior Gutierrez has been invited by the gov- roment to percent the presidency of it, The offer accepted some weeks ago, and the artist saus Ms two o'clock this afternoon. The arts are in Pingus nguishing state in Bogota, and the presence of b rigorous and industrious pioneer is absolutely peccesery there. Sefior Gutierrez, so lar as we are ble to ju ossesses these valuable virtues. fe paints with astonishing celerity and th an enthusiasm and persistency which scarcely ever vouchsaicd to any but powerful hand. His chief faults are a of finish and a want of ideality. His im- atience in hurryii from one work to an- ther is the cause, of the one and a misappre- ‘tion. the value of realism of the other. rel ther fault is incorrigible and we shall look to see h atoned for in the work of future years. Mis niet successes in this city have been his portraits ‘And his nude figures, There would be a certain in- delicacy in dilatin, upon the nature of those reverses an ppointments which fret led Sefior Gutierrez to entertain the ay that it of settling in South America. Suifice it to it they could not have panrened had he not Desa a paacry unacquained with our language, and did not the business cireles that surround art teem with rascals who could not consent to lose 80 Fucculent an o; pogetuniey. As it as, Sefior Gutier- ez has probably ly decided wisely ; for, though Bogota pay continue his home for several years we shail ope ultimately for his permanent location in this alg under happier auspices than those under whi Jon he first sought to win a name in it. CLOUD’S MANAGERS. — a Whe Rower and His Manager Part Com- pany—How the Orleans Trip Was to Pay. PITrsBuRG, August 6, 1873. Joseph Cloud, the man who is to row from Phila- flelphia to New Orleans in @ working boat, quar- felled here to-day with his agent, one Mr. Jones, and quitted him and returned to the Quaker City. It appears Cloud on his arrival at Harrisburg, fell In with a couple of choice companions, who so far seduced him from the path of rectitude that he botally neglected ebserving his promises te Jones regarding keeping him posted as to his daily whereabouts, 50 that Jones was entirely in the fark respecting the oarsiman’s movements, and consequently was unable to ar- range for the man’s reception at the city. Moreover, the advance agent, who is a the- Atrical man of Philadelphia, made the unpleasant Giscovery that Cloud was fond of his tea, that he would, on almost any occasion, indulge very freely tent draughtsfrom the.fowing bowl, and the companions heretotore ‘alluded to were Fanning the aquatic show on their own hook, with- Dut regard to the feelings of Jones or those ‘of any ne else. On learning these facts Jones immediately feciared the firm dissolved, stating that he had a reputation at home which he was not disposed to yacrifice in an etn of the kind Joseph Cloud as engage He says here ‘is not & A yong Ay waged on the result ‘Of the leat; that the $5," paid to Cloud uy) successfully finishing his trip ia @ myth, and that ‘he man is of the Weston style of architecture. The way money was to be realized out of the pndertaking was by Cloud, who isan actor, appear- Ang at different theatres in the cities along the route, for which Jones had made the necessary ar- rangements, 1t would appear that Cloud already porwe the terms of his contract, inasmueh as his oat was stored in the Varie Theatre from the rommencement of the performance to this morn- ing, when it was removed, Joe didn’t spend the op on the water in this boat by a long shot. ‘nis io cottons oarsman and his companions lett this cit; eir way down the sweeping Ohio, ‘while Mr. Jones returned to Philadelp! thy? ‘sad in bag ana with a less stock of confidence in wander- theatrical people. MBE, WINSTON'S REPLY. (From the Insurance Monttor.] The reply of Mr. Winston to Mr. Homans’ card is bout as weak as the alleged interview of the Spec- Mr. Homans made specific and most serious harges. Does Mr. Winston think he has answered hem by quoting stale reports of inv tigating jommittees, composed of the trustees them- pelves and their invited friends? Does he insider the majority report of vestigation held without the cotpany's anction acard in bis favor? Does he suppor fry of malice this oMicer will ex; lati Way an alleged exposure, called forth in seil-de- nee by his own unprovoked attack ? Or, in fine, jo the officers of the Mutual Life believe they can tisty the Motte by publishing @ communication ithout asingle signature, to which is appendea he names of trustees known to be absent or other- wise incapacitated from giving their assent ? We have but one word to suggest to the officer Whe correctness of our city’s finances, some tw ears ago, Was certified by gentlemen of unques- joned standing. Their certificate was good ough against outside accusations, but when.the ota were given to the world by a “discharged em- vil they were not worth the paper they were non. Rither Mr. Homanga’ charges are true or anon If fnise, the officers and trustees have the pow: ad owe It to themselves and the policy Rolera to prove them ta be so.

The chief and only feature of the stock market to-day was Pacific Mail, in which an effort is being made by twe persons connected with the direction to bull the stock for their own private interests. So far they have succeeded; but it would be un- wise, in the tace of the facts promulgated by those most intimately identified with the affairs of the company, to recommend the attempt. The bottom may drop out at any moment. Prudence would suggest extreme cautiousness in dealing at the present moment with a speculative interest that involves so much of sud- den risk. The price te-day commenced at 30 and closed at 41%. It may recede at any instant in response to causes by the Captain—President of the company—who has its figures, its purposes and its possibilities at his finger ends, and who is not enough of a speculator to conscientiously deceive himself or the public, Those who propose to make money from the fluctuations of this stock may do 80 during the present “spasm,’’ but they must take all the chances that attend a game of faro. Western Union opened at 92, Strengthened to 92% and closed at 92%, New York Central and Hudson was steady at 10544 @ 105%, @ 105% a 105%. Erie was not mach backed at 63% a 58% a 608 50%.

Altogether the present #itua- tion kas not developed enough of decline‘? be written down as the result of a “bear” movem “Ut. The absence of leading operators has natarn."Y proved a bar to speculation, and those who hww? remained at home have not cared to engage in com- binations calculated to disturb present values. But we look for a decided advance on the prices of the hour for outside orders as a sequence of low figures and for two or three weeks of very active speculation. BIGHEST AND LOWK@T.

HIGHLANDS OF NAVESINK, N. J., August 8, 1873. } In refarence to the melanckoly suicide at theae Highlands, on Wednesday morning last, of Dr. Maack, of Cambridge, Mass., Mr. Jenkinson, at Whose hotel the sed event occurred, has furnisied me @ jetter from Cambridge on the subject, of which the following is a copy :— Mosaum ov Comranarive Zoovocr, ‘ameripcs, Maas., August (, t from vos te to-day a telegram A. Maack, and € ave telegraphed to you to give him a weir burial I do not know that Dr. Haack. bas any relatives in this country or any friends to whom I could reter, ex eps Frotemor Agassiz, at whose request Dr, Maack cam ts count me ‘ou erin do the needfal on this occasion and have laack properly buried 1 will, after consulting with Professor Agassiz, visit you and assume all responsibility. Professor Agassiz'is absent at present; but I shall meet him next week, and shail probably have letters from him before we meet. In ime panes: ime you will please take charge ot the ging Dr. Maack. For the expenses of his tuneral, ‘ou will send ime a memorandum of the amount of Your obedient eervant, THOMAS G, CARY, "Hoar hadnt Museum of Comparative Zoolozy, Cambridge, Mas. Tlearn further from Mr. Jenkinson that deceased was some thirty-three years of age; that he was @ graduate from the University of Munich; that he had been attached to the scientific corps of sev-. eral exploring expeditions in South America, ta- cluding one of the Darien isthmus explorations of Commander Selfridge, and several railway sur- veys ior the Emperor of Brazil; that deceased om Tuesday morning last acted somewhat strangely; that he appeared to think that unintentionally he had given serious offence to several persons about the house, and was much distressed in conse- quence; that after his death some eighty lollars were found upon his person, and the day before he had borrowed of @ friend in the neighborhood the sum of $20; that deceased was quiet and retiring in fis manners and of a Melancholy disposition, githough there was nothing in his conduct caca- lated to excite apprehensions in his bevall. Among: the effects of deceased—found in his room at the hotel, where he so abruptly ended his lite—were some, phials of chloral, bromide 01 potassium, &c., medicines used in cases of nervous derangements and atfections of the brain. From the letter of Professor Carey it would ap- pear that Dr. Maack was a scientist in the deld of comparative zoology, and, from the fact of bute having been invited over to this country by Pro- fessor siz, he must have been a young man of marked acquirements: and great promise. it ts. probable that his constitution was so far brokea down in bis South American expeditions a3 perma- nently to affect his brain, and that the change of scene to these Highlands, which he thought ia coming might contribute to mis restoration, oper- ated in bis lonely walks through these woods to completely unsettic him. The remains of deceased will to-day’ be proverty interred at Chapel Hill, subject to the future dis- Position of his friends, P.

William Costigan, the young man _ recently arrested in New York on suspicion of being aa accomplice in the murder of James Graham, at Little. Neck, last February, was yesterday dis- charged from custody, the prosecution in the case failing to prove anything even against his char- acter. The examination was heid before Justices Lawrence and Quarterman, at Fiushing. Mr. Reilly, the detective, failed to appear, although subpenaed, and admitted to the officer serving the subpoena that he had no proof against the risoner.

Yesterday morning Coroner Young received in- formation concerning the drowning of Hugh Mur- ray, a hand on board the steamer Atlas, at pier 12 North River, the night previous; but no action could be taken because the body of the drowned man had not been recovered, notwithstanding diligent search had been made for it. David Jones, the watchman, whom the fremen, Sommerville and uinn, charge with throwing Murray into the river Soa @ fight on board, is still in charge of Cap- Lowery, of the Twenty-seventh precinct. the charge against him, and saya he was three or four feet from deceased when he fell overboard; that Mur- ray, Sommerville and Quinn had made a des- perate assault on bim, and that he (Jones) had forcibly disarmed Murray buta few moments before the latter fell into the duck. The accused, who is a man of good character, tells a plausible, straight- forward story. He was struck heavily on the head during the encounter, besides which his left arm was nearly disabled with a weapon of some kind in the hands of his assailant. Sommerville and Quian, who were much under the influence of liquor at the time, tell quite a diferent story, and entertain the a that Jones purposely threw Murray over- boar MELANCHOLY DROWNING ACOIDENT. A boy named Robert Sage, aged nine years, fell out of a fishing boat into the Hackensack River, at Hackensack, N.J., On Thursday. A colored man, named Thomas Kipp, jumped in to save him. Im the struggle to effect this he himself was drowned, and both bodies sunk. They were not recovered until a late hour. The news of the sad occerrence created universal sorrow throughout the usually quiet village. IDENTIFIED AT THE MORGUE. The drowned body of an unknown woman, about twenty-five years of age, recently found floating ta the East River, was yesterday identified at the Morgue as that of Sodac Straus, a German woman, + late an inmate of the Lunatic Asylum. The credit’ of the identification is due to Mr. White, keeper oC, the Morgue, who discovered on the dress of de-~ ceased the initials “P, A.,” which translated means “Pavilion A.” Mr. White, believing de- ceased to have been a lunatic, requested the nurse from Pavilion A to come down, and so doing sho recognized deceased as a woman who had eoenpes from the Asylum on Saturday last. Probably de- ceased committed suicide oy drowning. Uorouer Herrman has the case in charge. ACCIDENTAL § ITAL SHOOTING, Coroner Young yesterday morning recetved ta- formation that William Stubner, a young maa, had been seriously shot in the neck by she accidental discharge of a smail pistot in the hands of Frederick Sousan, a friend and pres ct * n was handling the pistol when eiplodg rice Tamla, ema alened locked up, but tue wounded man dest be discharged as he belie Sousa» to have been purely accidental. ner Young took Stubner’s ante-mortem statement + and discharged Sousam from custody, as Stubner was anxiqus for auch a result.
