AN IMPORTANT CIRCULAR.—The follow
ing circular was this morning received at
the office of the Collector of Internal Reve
nue for the First District, Pennsylvania :
"TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF IN
TERNAL REVENUE, WASHINGTON, January
3, 1866.—From information received at this
office, it is apparent that the provisions of
the 59th section of the act of June 30, 1864,
as amended March .3, 1865, in relation to
the purchase and sale of empty casks with
the inspection marks thereon,are very often
disregarded.
"By these provisions of the law a penalty
of three hundred dollars is imposed fed the
purchase or sale of each cask so marked.
"The object of the law is to prohibit the
traffic. The penalty is severe, and inten
tionally so. Both parties to the contract of
sale are liable. If the vendor permits the
empty cask to pass out of his hands without
removing the inspection marks, he is liable
to the penalty. If the purchaser receives
the casks with the inspection marks thereon,
he is also subject to the penalty.
"If there is a purchase or sale of an empty
spirit cask with the inspection marks there
on, the intent is immaterial—or rather, the
proof of the offence is conclusive as to the
' intent.
"The special attention of all officers of
internal revenue is called to this matter,
and they are hereby instructed - to cause
prosecutions to be commenced for all viola
tions of this provision of the law which may
come to their knowledge, and to see that
the law is strictly enforced in this case.
"E. A. RoLLuvs, Commissioner."

Fire in Troy, N. Y.
TROY, Jan. 23.—A large fire broke out in
a block of wooden buildings, on the corner
of North Fourth and Jacob streets, at three
o'clock this afternoon. The fire originated
in a bakeshop, and probably caught from
the oven. The shop was entirely consumed
in a few moments, and from this the flames
spread to a large barn filled with hay, which
was also in flames. The flames continued
to spread until three dwelling houses were
on fire, fronting on North Fourth sreet. Two
of these were destroyed and another badly
damaged. On the right of the shop two
dwelling houses on Jacob street caught, and
were soon entirely destroyed. Owing to a
difficulty in getting up an alarm the flames
had made much headway before the Fire
Department arrived at the scene of the con
flagration. The fire occurred right in the
centre of a triangular block formed by the
intersection of North Fourth street with the
Troy and Boston „railroad and Jacob street.
The whole block'was of wood, with the ex
ception of one house. The houses destroyed
were mostly old tenement houses, many of
them occupied by three families. Probably
$7,000 will cover the lass, which is only
partially insured.
EMIGRATION FROM LIVERPOOL IN
1865.—The yearly returns of, the emigra
tion from the Mersey show that during
the past year the folloWing vessels sailed
with passengers: For the United States,
264 ships, carrying 4,969 cabin and 89,475
steerage; the latter included 24,200
English and 42,357 Irish; for Canada, 32
ships, with 1,114 cabin and 7,570 steerage
passengers, of whom 3,280 were English
and 1,671 Irish; io New South Wales, 2
ships, with 1,281 steerage passengers; to
Queensland, 6 ships, with 49 cabin and
2,193 steerage passengers; to Victoria, 25
ships, with 316 cabin and 6,344 steerage
passengers; and to South America, 3
ships, with 10 cabin and 284 steerage
passengers—being a total of 333 ships,
conveying: 6,460 cabin and 107,147 steer
age passengers. The latter were com
posed of 31,819 English, 3,0.51 Scotch,
49,401 Irish, and 22,576 of other coun
tries. During the year there sailed 202
"short" snips, with 5,391 cabin and
2,048 steerage passengers. Of these 74
were for the United States, with 4,106
cabin and 1,258 steerage passengers; and
51 ships, with 58-5 cabin and 366 steerage
passengers, for South America. The
total emigration from the Mersey during
the year was, therefore,

on the year. During the month of De
cember the total emigration was 5,375
against 4,175 in the corresponding month
of last year, being an increase of IAI9.
SPECTLATIoN IN ENGLAND.—The
London Timcs gives an interesting re
view of the progress of speculation
during the past year. No fewer than
two hundred and eighty-seven new
joint-stock companies, with authorized
capital to the amount of £106,995,000,
have been brought out since the Ist of
January, 1865; but a large proportion of
these projects have proved: • abortiye, or
expired after a brief and sickly 4xist
ence. The total amount of capital of
fered was £75,579,900, but the deposits'
reached the sum of only £12,174,790.
An analysis of the new projects shows
that 119 of them were of a manufacturing
and trading character, with £28,735,000
of authorized capital, £22,207,900
offered, £3,890,290 deposited. ining
speculation was represented by forty
nine companies, with £4,505,000 of
capital authorized, £4,196,000 offered,
and £1,038,000 deposited. Building and
investment companies come next in
number on the list. There were thirty
two of them, with capital authorized,
19,815,000; offered, £7,350,000, and
deposited, £1,186,250. Fifteen new
shipping companies offered 14,235,000 o
their authorizedcapital of £6,170,000,and
receiving in deposits £72(.1. ,100; thirteen
railway companies offered 18,140,000,
having authorized capital of £12,720.000,
and received £1,180,900 in deposits;
twelve hotel companies had a deposit of
£264,500, after offering 11,2a:1;000 of
their authorized ' capital, £1,300,000; and
eleven banks, with a nominal capital of
£15,200,000, offered £10,400,000, and had
£1,465,000 deposited. The new issues in
1865 by companies previously existing
amounted to £7,379,640 of capital called
up, out of £15,090,600 offered at a total
"premium of £539,500. In addition to
thiS the foreign loans of the year, were
£46,236,363 in nominal amount,
£20,231,663 being called up; but a con
siderable proportion of this sum was
raised abroad.
A FUN/CY AVrAtu.—On Saturday, 13th
instant, Burgess S. S. Christy and the Town
COuncil of Oil City were arrested at the
instance of several citizens dissatisfied with
their action in giving the right of way into
the city to the Atlantic and Great Western
Railway. A special train was provided,
and the Burgess, Council and a large num
ber of citizens, accompanied by a brass
band, proceeded to Franklin. The proces
sion, headed by the band, and carrying the
flag of the country, marched to the Court
House. After the necessary bonds had
been filed by the Burgess and Council for
their appearance at Court, the procession
returned home. Some twenty-five of thirty
prominent capitalists and business men
were the bondsmen. The Council eventu
ally passed an ordinance to indemnify the
dissatisfied parties for any damage that may
ensue from the extension of the road through
their premises.
MINERS' CONVENTION.—The Miners' con
vention of California held a meeting on the
19th inst., at Sacramento, California, at
which resolutions were adopted protesting
against the bill introduced in the Senate by
Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, as singularly calcu
lated to work the utmost confusion and loss
to the present holders of mining property,
and also protesting against any increase of
taxes upon the proceeds of the mines. A
resolution was passed endorsibg the itetion
of the State Legislature in requesting 'delay

CITY BULLETIN.
THE LATEXUDGE OSWALD THOMPSON
Respect for his Memory—Meeting of the
The; largest meeting of the members of the
bar ever convened in this city was held at
noon, in the Supreme Court Room. Every
inch of space in the room was occupied, and
the assemblage included all the oldest
members of the bar.
On ,motion of Joseph A. Clay, 'Esq.,
Chief Justice Woodward was called to the
chair,i and John Clayton, Esq., and G. M.
Conarroe, Esq. were appointed Secretaries.
Chief Justice Woodward, in assuming the
duties of Chairman, paid an eloquent tri
bute to the memory of the deceased, eulo
gizing him as a private citizen and as a
judge. It seemed to him that Judge Thomp
son had fallen a victim to thejudicial duties
of his position, and he could not divest his
mind lof the impreacion that it was an un
necesSary sacrifice.
If the public authorities of State and
city had provided the local courts of this
county with the proper conveniences, the
health of Judge Thompson might not have
c t
been ffected, and he might not have been
calle to his account. He had seen many
court houses throughout the State, but
none , compared with those of Phila
delphia, in the lack of conveniences,
and if it be true, as he feared, that Judge
Thompson's death has been hastened by the
hard hips of his office, it is time for mem
bers f the bar to take immediate steps to
reme y the evil."
Ho . Isaac Hazlehnrst next addressed the
meeting, giving his personal recollection of
the deceased, and closed by submitting the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That the members of the Phila
delphia bar feel with deep sorrow the loss
which this community has sustained in the
death of the Hon. Oswald Thompson, late'
President Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas of this County.
Roolvect, That we hold in the highest es
timation the learning, the integrity and ex
alted virtues of the late Judge Thompson,
and most sincerely deplore the loss which
the bench and the county has sustained by
the death of one so eminently qualified for
the high and honorable station which he
filled, . .
ReAo(red, That in recording these senti
ment and feelings we desire to add oar
testimony to the purity and uprightness of
his life and the estimable qualities which
belonged to him as a man.
.ReSolved, That we most truly sympathize
with his bereaved family in that affliction
undek which they mourn the loss of an
affectionate husband, a kind parent and a
good citizen.
Resolved, That the members of this Bar
will attend the funeral of the late Judge
Thompson.
Resolved, That a committee of seven be
appointed by the chair, to present a copy , of
these proceedings to the .family of the de
ceased.
The chair appointed the following com
mittee:
Hon. James Thompson, Hon. George
Sharswood, Hon. Wm. M. Meredith, Jos.
A. Clay, Charles Gilpin, Theo. Cuyler, J. B.
Townsend.
- - - - .
Justice Strong seconded the resolutions
in an eloquent speech, referring to the great
debt of gratitude which the community
owed to Judge Thompson, as a pure and
upright judge.
Judge Allison followed and spoke of the
many excellent qualities of the deceased,
both as a citizen and judge.
JOdge Ludlow gave an interesting sketch
of the last few weeks of the life of the de
ceaSed. On the first Monday of December
he was in the Common Pleas with a heavy
list before him. There he sat patiently and
with an indomitable iron will which sus
tained his enfeebled body, calmly
and deliberately heard the argument of
counsel, and then in the course of
less)
than four Weeks from the commence
ment of the term, he entered into con
sultation with a mind as clear
as i a bell, and he decided every
case with the exception of a single
one—he absolutely completing his work
on last Friday, but twelve hours before his
dith, in that remaining case, , he insisted
up n entering into a consultation and did
co cult, and left the speaker to decide it and
on is way to the Courthouse to render that
deqision, death seized him and he passed
away.
Eli K. Price followed, and after eulogy
sing the worth of the deceased, referred to
the immense burden of labor cast upon the
judges of our Common Pleas, in obliging
them to discharge duties which should pro
perly be confided to twice the present num
(j,
be ofjudges.
eter McCall, Esq., Charles Gibbons,
Es ~ Hon. Josiah Randall, followed, in
pr ise of the deceased.
n motion of Benjamin H. Brewster,
Esq., it was resolved that the proceedings of
the meeting be published in the papers.
On motion of George Jnnkin, Esq., the
proceedings were directed to be prepared,
together with the action of the Courts', yes
