On November 3 the steamer Alsatia, with forty-four cabin and forty steerage passengers, arrived at Quarantine less than ten minutes alter the official hour for the close of business. Dr. McCartney was seen returning irom another ship and was signaled. In five minutes he could have been on bowrd; in twenty miautes he could have clearcd the vexsel; but ho proferred to go ashore and compel eighty peuple, sick of Mite, to pass another night in their prison instead of hurrying to homes in the West und North—to lose a day therefore, to postpone important and to cruelly proiong and hoighten the joty of wives, chiidre! i iriends—an anxiety already great by reason of the unusually long passage, We caunot find words to express our indignation and disgast at such seliishness, and of the insufficiency of the Jaw which docs not compel quarantine wificors to perform their duty at whatever time a ship may ar- rive, The gates of the great ity ot New York ougat pot to be closed at sunset, They might at least be open till curfew.

As the Orm bas deen in business twenty-seven years, and bas enjoyed the highest co mercial credit, this proceeding vas caused great sure prise in the trade, Mr, JonnC, Barton, the senior partner, said yesterday that the primary cause was the sudden demand, without warping, of a creditor for a Jarge sum of money, and which was pressed by suit the day following on which tne demand was made, and this necessitated the filing of a petition in bankruptcy for the protection of ail the creditors, Other causes were the depreciation in stock and heavy losses during the past tive years of bad trade, Ho said that it was the first time the firm bad ever been sued in the course of twenty-seven yoars of business, and that the firm bad never allowed a note to go to protest, all having been paid as they became duc. As far as possible they bad paid up all montbly accounts, and there were very few arrear- ages, and consequently a majority of the debts were for smal! sums, If tho firm were allowed time by the creditors he had no doubt of their ability to pay one bundred cents on the dollar, Mr. Barton bas no per- sonal liabilities, Mr, Waldegrave Harlock, the attor- ney of Mr. Barton, has preparea the schedules, trom whieh 16 app that the ftabilities do noi exceed $40,000, aistributed among alarge number of creditors, the following peing among the principal ones: W. & 8.

Tho fall in the latter stock occured ip face of the report that the company bad determined to mark up the tarif® for messages, ana can only be accounted for upon that genoral lucus a non lucendo principle which attaches to the usaal dealings in this security, Tho anthracite fancies receded, on the contrary, for a reason good and sufficient, if credence is to be given to tho prevai ing rumor that the Reading company had promulgatea lower prices for coal. some legislation in Congress which, ona test question, intimated a probable pas sage of the Silver bill by tne House, was regarded uae favorably, and prices sagged when it became koown, Although Luke Shore weakened, as has been shown, there prevails a good dealof faith in much higher figures, A prominent bull operator, who, ‘on pleasure bent,” was to go abroad, but didn’t, remained to-day to be a prophet in his own country os to the future greatnoss of the stock, and was willing to back bis opinion, so far as tho’ next dividend goes, that it would not bo less than 38 por cent, At the same time the dividend was offored for sale by other pat ties at 2% por cont, which would suggest that, meta- phorically spoaking, one side or the other was mak- ing the proposition with a ‘tongue in the cheek.’?
