WALL STREET, } TaURSDPAY, Nov. 20—6 P. M. A meeting of the Clearing House Association jook place to-day, for the purpose of considering rious questions of reform which had been previ- pusly submitted by @ committee of nine and em- bodied ina lengthy report. The meeting cannot be described as strictly harmonions, Several gen- Slemen, and among them representatives of the Bank of the State of New York, the Bank of Com- merce, the Metropolitan, Grocers’, Fourth National Mercantile and New York banks, withdrew, signi- fying by this action a kind of mutiny in camp. Subsequently a vote was taken on the report as a Whole, and, as a mere report, it was accepted with amendments, by a vote of 43 yeas and 17 nays. The Proceedings will be found more fully described elsewhere. They, however, mean nothing definite, and, from the temper evinced, there is little proba- bility that the resolutions of the committee will find general favor. In fact, there are a few per- sons who are so inconsiderate as to regard the Clearing House Association as A MONSTROUS FRAUD on the public, a sort of close corporation, whose chief object is to conceal the weakness of its indi- vidual memberg and stand by each other like a pile of bricks while publishing to the world with wondertul alacrity its daily gain in greenbacks. We are told to-day, for instance, that the banks bold $31,680,000. But why do not these institutions tell the people the amount of existing Mabilities in the shape of loan certificates? Do not the latter @mount to $22,000,000? Are they not composed o¢ stocks at inflated prices and mercantile paper on which extensions have been granted and must be renewed next month? Dare the banks, as a body, make known their exact condition? Is there not one which at the present moment owes the Clear- ing House $3,500,000, and has pledged as securities some that are not worth more than 25 cents on the dollar? Are not other banks in a similar situa- tion? If several of the banks were left ‘to themselves and unsustained by the general credit of the Clearing House Association would they not tumble into ruin and carry with them hundreds of innocent depositors, who are daily wheedled and befooled by the semi-truthful state- ments daily made, or statements just enough true ‘to secure official sanction. We should like to hear these and other questions answered, and in the Snswer we should perhaps read the cause of THE SECESSION that has taken place to-day. Fraud is like a cork. Ut will work its way to the surface somehow and sometime; and it is not a subject for wonder that several of our stronger institutions decline to lend the weight of their ballast to hold it down. Tne true remedy for the existing evil is not in the ‘@utocracy of an association of banks which may gloss over a situation in order to protect itself, but in the performance of his duty by a Bank ‘Examiner, who, rising above personal considera- tions, enforces law. This is all that the public re- quire, and it is for the public that we speak. As an agent and intermediary for the transaction of the ordinary fiscal business of the day the Clearing ‘House undoubtedly fulfils its mission, As an in- dividuality that assumes an irresponsible control- Qing and directive force, 1t is contrary to the genius of our institutions. THE STOCK MARKET. It is immaterial to the public outside of Wull Btreet that certain gentlemen who were lately “bears” in stocks are now “bulls” on an advance of10 percent. So long as there is nothing in the ‘position o! affairs to warrant a change stocks may go even higher, and probably will do so if these gentlemen have not already exhausted their pur, ‘chasing power. The result, however, will be the #ame. Real values must have their weight jor a long time hence, and those who are bold enough to ignore these values in their speculations will some to grief, however successful they may appear for the moment. The history of all preceding commercial panics proves that recovery, even ‘when commenced, is slow and unsteady, and that railroads, express companies antl telegraphs all have to bear their proportion of the burden of A DEPRESSED TRADE. Now, to admit that the work of recovery had ac- tually begun would not be to admit the probability that any of these different collaterals of trade are able to earn a dividend on their immensely ‘watered capitals within the next twelve or eighteen months. But whatare the facts? Have ‘We even commenced a recovery? Has a single suspended miil begun even to think of setting its ‘Wheels in motion? Are ma‘ters in our Western cities, from Buffalo and Pittsburg to Chicago and St. Louis, yet at their worst? On the contrary, does not every mail bring us additional tidings of the stoppage in part or wholly of machinery, and of new and unexpected complications of banks and bankers, South as well as West? Is it not, theretore, prudent for these Wall street gentle- men to pause in their reckless disregard of well established financial laws belore again producing & condition of affairs that may precipitate another panic while we are yet trembiing from the effects of the first? THR RANGE OF PRICES ‘was irregular, and somewhat obedient to various Zeports which were industriousiy circulated, Among others it was stated that a prominent om- cial of a large Western ratiroad had been found de- Mnquent, though steps would be taken to compel him to make good his deiauit. Undue speculation and the necessity for pledging some of the securi- ties of his company are said to be among the causes of the irreligious departure. A prominent stock firm was also reported to be embarrassed in conse- quence of its inability to obtain certifications on its checks. The rumor could not be definitely traced, The advance in prices ranged from 1}¢ to 8 per cent, especially in the fancy stocks, which of late have been the subject of so much speculation. Towards the close, however, there was a break, and the ad- vantage was lost. It is understood that the mar- ket is now under the control of a single party, into whose hands the recent clique, satis- fed, perhaps, with thelr handsome protits, have generously unloaded. Doubtless the rest of the street will be glad to follow their exam- ple, and patiently await the time when the afore. said Atias has bought enough. Western Union rose from 61 to 63 and reacted to 6114, New York Central advanced from 88, to 89\;, and Lake Shore from 68% to 704, With late dealings at $8 and 69 respectively. Northwest common rose from 40% to 43%, later touched 41)¢ and closed at 42} a 4214 The other changes are noted below, The market wound up barely steady in tone, THR MONEY MARKET, Money was steady at 0 a7 per cent, with ex- ceptional transactions at 1-32 percent Commer. cial rates are unchanged. The foreign exchanges ‘were firmer to-day, especially for sixty days? ster ling, which was advanced to 107. Sight bills re- main at 108%, the gales of both classes of sterling Wing about 44 a 44 lower than the nominal rates, THE GOLD MARKET.

On ‘Change some excitement was caused by advices of the treezing of the Erie Canal and the consequent suspension of navigation; but the markets ai the close were dull and scarcely any higher, neither four, wheat, corn nor oats being saleable at much of an advance on yesterday's ; quotations.

Fort—Error to the Circuit Court for Nebraska.— This was an action to recover for personal injuries alleged to have been sustained by the son of the defendant in error, by the loss of an arm while working in a machine shop of the company, by reason of its negligence. The allegation was thas the boy, a lad of 16, was ordered by the superin- tendent of certain machinery to ascend by a lad- der to a shait for the purpose of adjusting a belt, and that while performing this order, which was not within the boy’s contract of service, the in- jury was received. The defence was that the superintendent and lad were iellow servants in the: employ of the company, and that the injury waa received while in a common service, the superin- tendent being @ carelul and skiliul person, The Court instructed the jury that if the work which the son was ordered to do was not within hts con- tract of service, then the superintendent, im ordering it, if withim the erty of his anshortt must be taken to represent the company, the act of authority was wrongful an ye the company would be liable for the damages caused, and the principle that the master is not liable for the neglect of a co-employé in the same service hasno application to tne case. The ver- dict, under the direction of the Court, was for the laintuY in the court below, and the company ring the case here, contending that there was no lability in the case under well settled rules, pet Tule, in the absence of statutory authority, as settled both in FE ngland and America, is that the master {s not liable to his servant for injuries ac- cruing to him by reason oi the negligence of a fel- low servant engaged in a common employment, except where the master has been guilty of neg- ligence in hiring an unskilfal and careless ser- vant, or in continuing an unskilfal hand after ascertaining that he is such, or when the master has knowingly provided defective material or ma- chinery for use, or continues such in use atter ascertaining their defective character.

Undera general denial in the answer two questions aroge— ‘was there a contract tv carry in the stateroom, ang was there a custom, in the absence of a contract, to so carry such shipments? ‘The contract for stor- age claimed was contained in the receipts attached to the bills of jading, and was not Gate those papers. Evidence of the custom of the trade Was admitted, and the custom claimed being es- tablished to the satisfaction of the Court the de- cree was for the shippers. Itis here mentioned that the only contract binding the parties is the bill of lading, and no such contract appearing in tne bill in this case parole evidence of custom could not be admitted to vary them. The contract being in writing that alone must govern, and shere te nothing Whatever in the point as to the custom of carrying between decks.

No. 102, Mercantile Mutual Insurance Company vs. Folson—Error to the Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York.—This was & recov- ery on a policy of marine insurance issued by the company upon the schooner B. F. Folsom when about to depart on a voyage from Boston to Mon- tevideo and Buenos alae in January, 1869. The decision below raises the following questions for review :—Does a marine policy of insurance for one year from acertain date cover a total loss of the vessel insured which occurs after such date, but before the delivery of the policy, where tae latter does not contain the words, ‘lost or not lost?” Is it the duty of the captain and part owner to com- municate by the quickest usual means of commu- nication the loss of the vessel te the other owners, and does the omission to do so render void a po! of insurance issued after such loss might by sucl means have been communicated? May conceal meut of the fact be proved by the insurers as 8 de- fence under the plea of non-assumpsit in an action on the policy? Is there a presumption in such a case in javor of the insured that he has communicated to the insurer all the material facts or that he 1s ignorant of a material tact which, it is shown, might have been known to him?’ Isiterror for a Judge who tries a cause withont a jury (under stipulations waving one) to refuse to make special findings of fact under the act of March 3, 1863.2 The first of these questions is undecided by any adjudged case. J. 0. Carter for plainti? in error; ‘A. Seward and 0. M. DaCosta for defendant, No. 108. Manhattan Life Insurance Company va. Francisco—Error to the Circuit Court for Califor nia.—This was an actionon @ contract of insur- ance upon the life of plaintifi’s husband. No policy was issued, as the assured died 24 hours after the application was made, and bejore the policy could be made out and delivered, of acute hepatitis, as testified to by his physician, The physician also tea- tified that he had attended deceased for.a consider~ able time (three or four years), and had Beek ally prescribed for torpid liver, colic and indiges~ tion. The company showed bee be answers: by deceased to several questions relating to the affected by the diseases stated by physic! which, as was claimed, amounted toa dental t! he suffered from any trouble in those parts. Evidence was then adduced by the plaintif to suow that her husband was seldom sick, and then only for a day or so at 4 time, and that he was regarded by his friends and acquaintances—as one of them testiled—as a healthy man. The left the question to the jury to determine whe: there had been concealment and fraud practised by the deceased in making answer to the com- pany’s questions, and the verdict was for the the plaintiff. It is here urged that there was error im the refusal to instruct the iad that the evidence Was not sufficient to entitle the plaintiff to a ver~ dict, and that other errors were eommitted in the rulings.
