As Boeeaccio recounted a series of ‘Moral Tales,” Of such a delectable nature as would have made Miss Bageworth gasp for breath had she perused them, and endeavored inthis way to dissipate tho ennué of the ten days waiting for the plague to abate at Fiorence, 80 do the ramor inongers of the board essay to break ap the pestilentia) dulness by the .creation of such Janci- fai romances as thoy think may affect the market.

As regards the higher charges for transportation of freight, 1s would be curious to ascertain to what extent-contracts havo deen made at past or current figures for six months or mount of business (except vastern bound -produce) is likely to be offered, in the pregent prostrate condition of trade, on which the ad- vance tolls can bo levied. Tiinois Central advanced to 68 and subsequently fell off to 667g, under sales presumably {or Boston ac- tount, The severe diminutions in receipts for Novem- ber and the fear that but a petty dividend, if any at il; 18 to be looked for, have brought the property into ;bad odor and forced sales of long stock. . Western Unien remains dull, steady and strong, and the street is on the tiptoe of expectation ip anticipation of the prilliant display of freworks which the directors ware expocted to explode to-morrow.

VINANCIAL TROUBLES OF THR ORIGINAL GBRAT WESTERN RAILROAD COMPANY—A BONDMOLD- E'S SUIT AND TEMPORARY INJUNCTION. The original Great Western Raltroad Compavy mort Raged in 1855 all its property for about $3,000,000, Deeds of assurance were executed in 1862, trustees bee ing appointed under such deed. What was then Known ts the Great Western Railroad was the Obio part of the present company, which at tho same timo trans ferred vo the latter company most of thew Tights, The new company also executed to Jobn R Penn guaranteed bonds for $18,485,000, {uterest on which bouds being wopaid in 1809 a sult was brought in Ohio by Penn to foreciose the mort- gage of 1855 already mentioned, A iargy number of the bondholders resided in Amatefdam, Holland, who, having been apprised of the condition of affairs, trans- ferred their bonds to Wortheim, Gomperta & Orrell, o firm tn Amsterdam, so as to have the same represented in an independent suit, In a suit now brought by Johu Rumak against Louis H. Myers, Preaerick Schu- berdt, Wo. H. Smithers, the plaints decision in the Penn suit was to th trusteos under the origiaal mortgage had no status im {he case, inasmuch as the pri was not due. Under the Penn mortgage the Ohio branch was sold, but subject to the oider mortgaze, Messrs. George B, McClellan, Alexander A, Jobusoa and Willian Butler Duncan bought it 1m, aud) it was afterward conveyed to the Atlantic and Great Western Ratiroad Company of Obio. In 1871 the latter road was formed through consolidation with the Peanayl vania and New York corporationn = A mortguge was made by ihe new comp: which Mr. Rumak lating is subject to th elder mortgage, under which there had been issued $56,000,000 worth of bonds. ‘Tbe complaint of Mr. Rumak 1s exceedingly voluminous, giving quite a de- ‘tailed history of the read in question up to the present time, including the making of an additional ceed of assurance, new trastees, the appointment of a re- ceiver and issue of receiver's certiticates, which are claimed to, take precedence of tne elder mortgage. The object of this suitis to enforce the alleged right of the bondholders under the old mortgage. Upon t complaint and other affidavits an injunction was yes- terday granted in the Supreme Court in accordance with the prayer of the complaint, The merits of the injunction, as also all the tucts of the case, will of course be fully developed when the case comes to dual trial, ACQUAINTANCES.
