himself, and, taking seats iu one of the
ordinary passenger cars (and very ordi
nary they are on that train), rode quietly to the
city unannoyed by any demonstration whatever
on the route. Probably not haif a dozen pas
sengers on the train ot six or eight can were
aware of the distinguishe! company in which
tbey were travelling, apinsthe people living on
the line of the road Vf r not expecting General
Grant's return be.ore Monday, they were not on

The Collision at 1'iiUon Ferry, New
i ora.
The despatches to The Evening Tei korapii
on Saturday announced the occurrence and
many of the details of the fearful collision at
Fulton Ferry, Jiew York, by which a number of
persons were killed outright and twenty-four
seriously, some fatally, injured. The following
testimony at the Coroner's Investigation lndl
cates that the dreadful calamity was the result
of carelessness:
fieorgc W. Broach, who was a witness to the
occurrence, makes the following statement:
About H o'clock this morning I went oa board
the Union ferry boat, at the Fulton Ferry, New
Yoik side, for the purpose of coming to Brook
lyn; when I got on board the boat I went to the
iront, wnere mere were about a dozen persons
standing beside myself; shortly after 1 got there
I saw the other boat, which I believe was the
Hamilton, coming from Brooklyn towards the
slin: the boat on which 1 was was in the slin
nearest the South Ftrry, and the coming in boat
would naturally take the slip on the other side
when 1 first saw her she was about two huudre
feet off, aud was headed directly for the boat
on which I was standing; she was crowded
with passengers, so much so that her forward
part was depressed considerably below the
iiKiial level: she kept advancing in the straight
urn- lunniua iue uuut uu wuicu i was, until sue
came so near that l eaw that a collibion was
Inevitable, and with the others who were staud
ine on front of the boat I stepped back some
puces to avoid tne shock. At tne same time
the pasfengers on the approachiug boat were
ecized with a panic und attempted to get back
out of the way, but so great was the crowd of
people and wauous behind them that they could
not move very lar. in a few second, and
during the confusion oi the victims trying to
save inemseives, tne npproucning to:it came up
to the boat on which 1 was with such force that.
owing to the depressions of bcr forward part,hc
ran unaer tue guards, i no, striking the unier
bow, was veered to one side, so that, with the
force at which she was moving, the forward
portion of the ladies' cabin was entirely toru
away, wneu tne Hiimiuon ran under the
guards of the Union there were a number of
poople wounded, and a number ot ladies
were also injured. What I wish particularly to
stale Is, that while the Hamilton was approach
ing towards the slip at a high rate of speed, and
in such a direciion as made it apparent to every
ore thdt a collision must occur, there was not
the slightest perceptible diminution of her
speed, and, to mo, the accident appeared as the
result ot the most reckless carelessness on the
part of the pilot in charge of the boat
Allred Dorian testided that he resided nt No.
33 1 aurens street, Brooklyn; went on board the
Hamilton on Saturday morning, just as sho was
about to start; the boat was very crowded, so
much so that one gentleman refused to cross
and went ashore; caw nothing unusual until we
were anout to enter the slip; saw a propeller,
wuicn npnearea to ue lying in ironi ot tue mar
ketslip; when we weie in the middle of the
river the propeller was abreast of the ferry
slip; there was a strong flood tide running at the
time: have been daily crossing the ferry for the
past 20 years; saw nothing unusual on Saturday
morning; my Impression is that the engine was
stopped as we were eutering the slip; there was
a strong eooy at tne end ot the pier, which.
when it struck our boat, carried us down
towards the Union; I beard two bells ring in
quick succession just as our bow entered the
eli d : 1 saw there would be a collision, but
supposed the boat would stop before she did, as
me engine was men oacKine; i neard someone
on the upper decu call oat for the paseng rsto
get back; I looked up at the pilot-house, aod I
saw the pilot, Mr. Albertnon. standing at the
wheel; alterwards I heard the crash and the
women screaming; saw the boy lying on the
deck, with a rail Ijing across his body; I took
it ou und louud he was dead.

The New York Money Market.
From the Herald,
"After a lengthened period of stringency In money
ana aa unuiimiiy eeprvsaed ooadttiou or tne et-oclc
market, tbe woek clonsa with a sudden ceasauou of
the causts blcn produced tbe strincency lu tbe one
aud tbe decline in tbe otrier. Friday last marks me
uay of tbe greatest depression In stocks, tue values
ot which buu contlnuea to fall in tbe laoa of an easy
slate cjf money brought about as early as laBt Tees
day. The reason of ihelr doing so, In coutrarlely to
tbe general rule ibat prices advance when money is
abundant, wes the deep-sealed distrust engendered
by several previous pretended withdrawals of the
greenbacks locked up by the combination of bears
wbo engineered the wboie crisis, tbe effector wnicb
each ilu.e .s to Induce renewed speuulatlen and
consequent htavy lossea. Operations In Wall street
were conuueted with a caution which produced dul
lness. Those wbo riad their margins swept away
were of cwurse out of the street, und those wbo hid
suffered to the extent 01 a fraction, large or small, of
tbelr capital, bad less to Invest, aud were more care
ful about locating that little. At the aauae time,
money began to be abundant in tne city. Exchange
turned Iu favor ot New York Tbe use of the three
per cent, certilira.es made money easier In tbe batiks;
louni were scrutinized w tb more care, and a general
conservative feeling pervaded Unanolal circles. Tbe
combination found that tbe elasticity of buslnass
was beginning to cover the gap in tbe curreuey
pi educed by tbe tying up of tbe twelve or
hllrea millions greenbacks. Un Thursday ant Fri
day an appearance of another 'locking up' was pro
ducud through tbe exchanges ol tbe Bank of tb
Ctmmonwealtb. Un the latter day the public, who
had commenced to distrust tbete signs as inuihas
tbey bad those of an easy money market, wavered
lu dtttbi, then bscame ranic-strlcken and let go of
tbelr stock. Prices lunched tbeir lowest, tbe 'bears'
nrcbastd, covered tbelr snort contrasts and brought
tbe cieeubacks to ligbt ouce more.

WA8HmaToii, November 16.
Tbe Dyer Court-Mnrtlal,
wbich nipt this morning, attracted a large
crowd, and the inherent In It, which had pretty
well died out, teems to be revived. General
Rodman was the only witness examined to day
It not expected anything new will be elicit.!
beyond what wai brought out by the Urdnance
CommUteeg of the two hounes.
IheCnban Flllbtmier CommKtee,
which waa aauounced to call upon the Ptesl-
dent and Secretary Seward to-ly, has not made
it appearance. It is hardly probable that any
conmitU'e will come here for the purpose of
at-king the Government to consent to engage in
such business. .
SeeretarF Seward,
who had an interview with the President to-day,
erpremcs ihe opinion that no organization of
importance exists in the United States having
designs upon Cuba.
Oeneral Grant'
abrence from the city, and the published state
mentthatbe refuses to consider applications
for office, does not diminish lbe size of tbe
bundle of letters received every day at tho
headquarters bespeaking various places under
his administration, from Cabinet positions down
to petty post offices. Gen. Badeau, Grant's sec
re'ary, has a way of disposing of these which,
however it may fail to trratlfy tho senders, cer
talnly gives Grant little trouble.
The "intelligencer"
of to-day contains a three-column article pr aie
In f Thaddeus Stevens as a statesman and
patriot. It holds him up as an examplo to
living public men of all parties.
