lam permitted to make the following extract
from a letter received by Lieutenant Mowry, from
an officer of the army, stationed at Fort Yuma, Cal ,
describing the late fight between several allied
tribes occupying a portion of Arizona :
"Form YUMA . , Sept 18, 1857.
• "The Ytfmu have been most dreadfully beaten
by the Maricopas, Pima!, and others. They have
lost not less ` th an two hundred of the flower of
their chivalry. The opposing parties were, on one
side, the Vomits, Mohaves, Yampals, and Tonto
Apaches, and one or two Dieganos ; on the other,
the Marleopas, Plums, and Papages.
"The'former party commenced the attack by
burning some wigwams, and killing women and
ehildren belonging to the Marleopas. The grand
battle was fought neat the Marioopa wells. [About
one hundred and sixty miles above the mouth of
the Gila]. There Were probably about fifteen hun
dred engaged on each side. , The Yoram) and allies
were completely routed.
"We have not heard full amounts, and know
nothing of the tomes of any tribe except the
Yentas. ' Scarce one of them left to tell the story
in fact, itere,they_knew nothing of the affair until
we told them. We learned it from the Texas mail
party. All the Pumas are in mourning."
Anotherietter says : “The Yumes and Mohaves
Suffered severely. Our old friend. 801 l Francisco,
who anted sneer agent In rescuing Olive D'Otman
from the Mohaves, a year since, was killed. Out
of about one hundred Tomas who went to battle,
only some Amor seven returned.
"The Pimoe have invariably beaten their ene
mies in battle: They aro the dread of the Apa
ches, but generally friendly to the Mexicans and
Arnerieruis. Occupying a heautifol and fertile por-
Von of the valley of the Gila river, they live in
villages, cultivate large crops of wheat, corn, cot
ton, millet, melon's,' and pumpkins. They grind
their dbrn into dour, make bread, and manufacture ,
their cotton into blankets of a beautiful fabric.
"Thousands' of emigrants have received their
hospitality, , and restored their broken-down sal-,
male from the granaries of the Pintos,
"The levers , punishment they have landed
upon the wild tribes who attacked them will be re
-grated by no one who has travelled through Art
sena, or who understands the Indian character,
" The letters from' which I have made the above
.extraets, announce the discovery or sliver near the
Oita river copper mines just above Fort Thins;
and also great deposits of rich copper mines on the
Colorado, forty miles above the mouth of the
Gila. There •is no end to the mineral wealth of
the new Territory."
" • The'Posimaster General has this morning ad
dressed a letter to E. W. Bailey, Esq., and others
.of a committee of eitizens of Philadelphia Ho

the subject, of discontinuing the improvements
oommenoing on the Pennsylvania Bank building,
'for a post office. He consented to that disoon-.
linuanee 'in deference to the then expressed
wishes of a very large number of petitioners,
.that they .might have an opportunity to ask Con.

meeting what Bien appeared to be the most gene
ral wish of the °Bisons of Philadelphia, and sup
posed the whole subject was disposed of, at least for

"a groat desire bee been manifested by many dis

BOSTON, Nov. 9.—A hearing was had to-day in
the case of a habeas COrytlJ sued out for a PIM
girl named Betty, belonging to Lewis Sweet, Esq.,
of Tennessee. The girl expressed a wish to re

Several colored persons made strong but unavall.

freedom.
Mr. Sweet and his family spent several months

with regret, that the present is announced as the
last week of the somata the Arch Street Theatre.
This certainly cannot be canoed by want of sue
am, for Mr. Wheatley has been able to Ell hie

the house (except private boxes and orchestra

Ring's Rival," in which Mesdames Davenport

played this evening. "Jack Cade" will ho repre
sented to-morrow evening.
Mr. Charles Mathews' re-engagement at the
Academy of Music has been so far successful that
the house was crowded last night. Legitimate,
graceful, and genteel comedy has no better expo
nent than Mr. Mathews, and the reoont reduc
tion of prices has certainly afforded tho community
every facility for taking advantage of his brief,
perhaps last visit to this city.
"The Ocean Child" and "Linda," which
drew a crowded audience at Walnut-street Thea

An Exciting Meeting of the Stockleeddere of
the 'Bank of Pennsyloania—.Penun4setion of
the late President—Reels:lotion of the, Board of
Direttors T An Attempt to "Whiteso - ash' Dlls- ,
nantly Hies'ed.—The meeting of the' stoOkhol dors
of the Bank of Pennsylvania, hold at noon yester
day, was very largely attended. It Was 'held in
the banking-room of the institution, and for 'some
time before the hour named in the call a large
number of stockholders wore gathered,Allatnaling
the affairs of the bank. There were present many
of the wealthiest and most reputable gentlemen
of the city, and many from adjoining counties,
and from neighboring States. 'No . persons,,
except shareholders and the representatives of
the, press, were admitted to the building. The
counter of the paying•telter was fitted up as a
rostrum, and on this the chairman was seated, in
side the railing.
'Monoure Robinson, Esq., was °alit& to the shale
aeon after 12 o'olook. Morton MoMiehael,
was selected to not as secretary. The president
suggested the necessity of the appointnient of tel
lers to take a stoat( vote upon the aeoeptenee
rejection of the alt. Messrs. Isaac Les and Frank.
lin Taylor were appointed tellers in.,Ormidanee
With this suggestion.
The chairman said that be had been for the last
few weeks a director in the bank ; thitt the only
reason he could give for aceepting his present
position as chairman of this meeting- ceps front a
desire to see the board of directors raerganised and
a proper examination made of the affairs of the
bank. Ile had resigned his position as a director
last Saturday, and was now here ' simply as a
stockholder. •
Mr. Robinson stated that the president pro tem
pore, Colonel William C. Patterson, was ready to
make a statement as to the condition of the bank.
BEMAIMS OP COL. WILLIAM C. PATTER ON
Col. Wm. 0. Patterson said that the stockhold
ers are aware of the circumstances under which
the late president of the bank left the country,
and they will now expect to hear a statement of
the condition of its affairs.
It was his duty to say, to the stockholders that
no statement could be submitted to them at this
time, which would enable them to form a just esti
mate of the true condition of the tank; no state
ment which might not be falsified by fresh develop
ments in forty-eight hours; no statement which he
would be willing to sign, or which any honest man
ought to be asked to-sign—because any statement
made with the information now in the possession
of the board, must of necessity be inaccurate, and
therefore deceptive.
The misapplication of the funds of the bank, and
the squandering of its property Which had been
brought to light by its suspension, had, since the
occurrence of that event, been made the subject
of diligent investigation, and a great deal of 110-
'octant information had been' obtained. It was
as yet, to mortal the extent of the
deacienoy, or of the leas to vridelf the. creditors
and shareholders of the bank will be subjected.
The bills receivable of the bank hove been
abstracted from the custody of the omoer charged
with their safekeeping, and sord , on the street,
without any intolllgible record as to the applies•
tion of the proceeds; its books falsified, and the
p
directors kept in 'porno') of sunny of the largest
transactions entered into by the late president,
for which the funds of the bank - tow appear to
have boon used.
The condition of the bank, up to a very recent
period, would mom to have been more thoroughly
understood outside of its walls than within the in•
stitution ,Embarrassed as they are by the ab
sence of the late president, and by the manner in
which many of the accounts of the bank have
been kept, the board cannot hope to attoortaln the
true condition of the bank for some time to come.

No man who knows any thing of the character of
its assets can now say that they will prove Ina
(dent to pay its debts; and yet, it is possible that
that result may be accomplished by careful nursing,
and something be left to onoourttge further sub
soriptions on the part of the shatelolders, in order
to resuscitate the bank.
During the progress of the investigation the di
rectors havo loft no means untried to retrieve,
in so far as it has been „practicable, past
losses, and to prevent further waste. I n thie, they
have been encouraged and aided by the judielons
forbearance of droditore. ' The obligationt of good
faith towards those creditors, and of duty. towards
the ntookholders, will,unforo a continuance of this
policy while the present directors retain the trust
which has been confided to them. A proper regard
for the interests of both parties seemed to him im
peratively to demand the immediate reorganisa
tion of the board, and
p r .be il to suggest
to the stockholders the t ,ohould . aban
don the policy which ap r c pt h ave gummed
them heretofore in the . atlas 'of Inancils of
directors, and that the large 'shareholders sheuld,
without further delay, seams In whole or in part
the management of the busluessbf the bank. Re
stated that, with a view to the atoomplishment
of such a re-organisation, he now held In his
hand the resignation of every member of the hoard
except the late president, and another whp it in

Lions of those to whom the Management of the
affairs of the bank may be entrusted,
After Mr.' Patterson had concluded his remarks,
the chairmen again arose and stated that there
were no accurate data upon which the officers of
the bank could proceed in an efibrt to.arrive at any
intelligent oonolusion concerning the condition of
the institution. Per several
. years the late prest
dent has purchased bills receivable, and abstracted
the funds of the' bank and need 'them for hie own
purposes, without the knowledge of the board of
directors, Money thus taken willthherged to otgr,
ling account and to temporary loan account, and no,
precise conclusion could be arrived at regarding
the real condition of the bank mall its again' are
accurately examined by experts.
The chairman had no doubt that, with the aid of
a new board of dirootora, assets could be soured
whiob could not now be reached. We may be able
to get from those who aided the late president in
the abstraction of the assets of:the bank some por
tion of the property thus obtained Re was goy
mood by the opinion of counsel in advising the
meeting to accept the provielana of the act of the
special session of the Legislature. Ito thought
that course the most advisable under the circum
stances.
Tho present president and directors aro willing
to continue or to retire as the stockholders may
desire. He had no hesitatioe in Saying that the
board should be entirely reorganised, and that a
committee of large shareholdtrs should be aro
pointed to soled a new board. , The way for this
movement has been paved by the willingness of
the old board to retire ; all havercsigned except Mr.
Thomas Alllbone, and he wee himself of opinion
that his having resigned iron the prosideney end
left for Europe under the oirettestancos ho did, va
cated his place. He (the chairman) so construed it.
The chairman said ho bad Mended to offer reso
lutions to that effect had he rot been called to the
chair. He thought that by making a vigorous
effort, and by having new means infused into the
management of the instltutim, the bank might
yet be able, not only to met its engagements,
but have some residue. lit hoped those called
upon to not would do so eheerldly, and take charge
of the affairs of the institttion at this oritical
period of its history.
Ife hoped the wide-spread Wary wrought by the
late president and his shim{ and abettors would
spur the now directors on to id the widow In pre
serving a portion of the mitosho has lost, and the
numerous 'charitable lestihtions interested in
saving a portion of the meats they had invested
in the stook of the bank, a 0 that the guilty par
ties might yet be brogght tooondign punishment.
(Terri/le applause.)
The chairman then read ieo following resolu
tions, commenting with muel.severity ou the con
duct of the late president ache proceeded:
Resolved, let. That a commiAeo of five large share
holders be appointed by the- tgairmau to teem/amend
such names for directors of thotorporation as may, in
their opielou, be most desirable; and that the present
board of directors bo, and they ire hereby, requested to
organtee the board by suecesolit resighstigus and elec

committee.

organized, be, and they are herety, requested to report to
the atockholders, at as early a hied, and no far as the
name can bo done cousistently;rith their Interest, to
what extent the capital of the hob has bean impaired
by unauthorized or fraudulent tie of the late president,
and the names of any alders creators In such ones
tOrifed or fraudulent acts.
Mr. Abraham linker and leveret other gentle
men declared their vrillingnes to offer the resolu
tions read.by the president.
Tho first and third resolution were unanimously
adopted.
lieforc the question was then en the adoption of
the second resolution, Job* M. Dutton, Esq., at
tempted a defence of the eiduct of Mr. Alifbone.
He protested against the puisage of the resolution
in a very violent speech. He deolared that the
data on which to base thepivalent opinions of the
alleged fraud of Mr. Alliiono were utterly un
founded, and would ovenlally be preyed *wird°.
At this moment it was quit, apparent that there
was a sensation in the large wo+vd of stockholders,
who avers evidently unprepred for any attempt to
justify the lute president ofthe bank. Numerous
ejaculations of incredulity 'ore board on every
side, and the proceedings wee indeed of the most
exciting character.
A voice, (very fierce) -" Who denies the
charges?"

defend nimseif, He hoped to man will have his

Mr. Allibone declare that if he had known the
condition of the affairs of the bank when he took
°barge of them, twenty thousand dollars would
have been no temptation to him to accept the °Moe
of president.
Here groans and cries again interrupted the
swatter, end Mr. James Brans, of Lancaster,
shouted out: "You can't whitewash the
aeoundrel here." Other voices echoed the cry of
I. y,"oudo. can't whitewash him, and you needn't try
do.
The prooeedinge, at this time, assumed a very
threatening aspeot. Mr. Dutton again resumed,
and said that Mr. Allibone would return to the
United States, and po man then would dare to
write sootindrel on his brow. During his speech,
he said that Mr. Allibone had not boon president
of the bank four weeks, when he detected a clerk
in a species of fraudulent peculation ' in which the
bank was robbed. To what extent this may have
been carried on, he could not say. The statements
made a gainst the late president were ex parse, and
all he asked was to see the figures before ho would
like to vote in favor of the second resolution.
During these remarks numerous expressions like
the following were beard : Oh, you're a clerk
for Allibone." "Paid to do it." "Humbug."
Let him go on." "I've lost 530,000 by the d—n
reseal." "No whitewashing." "You've come
to the wrong place to whitewash Tom Allibone,
here " You're a fool to talk to business men

Col. Patterson said he hoped that Mr. A. would
return soon. It would serve the cause of truth and
Jingles if ho should do so and expose all those who
bad profited by these nefarious transactions.
The resolution was thee passed—three persons
voting in the negative, Messrs. Dutton, Simpson,
and another gentleman.
The chairman then announced the following
named gentlemen to form the committee to select
a new board of directors :
• Henry Oopo, Escj., Mordecai D. Lewis, Esq., Dr.

The meeting then adjourned sine die
Meeting of the Unemployed Men of the Seven

noon a meeting of the unemployed workingmen of
the Seventeenth ward was held at the northeast
oorner of Washington and Jefferson streets, agree

corner for several days previous. •
At 21 o'clock the meeticg was called to order,,
and the following dams were elected : President,
Mr. Jawed. Donner; Secretary, Mr. Wm. U. Axe.
The meeting was ono of the largest ever held in
that section of our city, and the utmost order and
decorum prevailed throughout. There could not
have been leas than three thousand persons pre
sent, among them many women and children,
many of whom gave unmistakable evidence of
their impoverished condition.

What position he occupied. They had not met as
a political body—they had pot been convened to
gether as Democrats, as Amerioans, as Republi.
cane--but had met to devise means of obtaining
bread. He did not care who wanted the bread—
whether it was Methodist, Catholic, or Mormon—
if they wanted bread they should have it. He ap
pealed to them to yield implioit obedience to the
law, and thought if ono man had a dollar, and
another man had none and was etarving, be was
morally entitled to a part of that dollar ; and
more than that, any man having the mark of je
hovah upon him would share that dollar. (Ap
plause.)
Ile again appealed to them to act within the
law, and they would always be right. Ito had no
object in addressing them, except in giving them
his individual advice. lie had seen the time when
/to wanted bread, and did not at first summed in

friend, and then got work, which sot him all right.
Ho exhorted them to forbearance and mutual as

He Galled upon those who had means to oome for

[At this stage of the primeedings three young
mon made their appearance in the orowd, bearing
aloft long poles, upon which were displayed bleak
and white flags. This was generally disapproved
of, and the parties withdrew, evidently ashamed
of themeolves.l
Mr. Logan continued his remarks, and was fre

unemployed amongst. us.
The preamble and resolution were unanimously
agreed to, and the chairman authorised to appoint
the committee
Mr. James Welsh was the next speaker. He
regretted the depression which existed in all de.
partments of trade, and thought it a lamentable
fact that in a country like this—ln a city like
Philadelphia—they should collect together and
call upon their follow-eltizens to help them
to keep Mar wives and children from star
starvation. He thought it could not be pos
sib'," that such should be the ease in a country
where the husbandman had been blessed with full
granaries, and where we have all the elements
that contribute to prosperity. It was to hard case
that they should be compelled to beg for bread,
when they were willing, clamorous, and anxious
to work for it. None in this country, he thought,
should receive charity except those unable to work.
The speaker then referred to the wide-spread
suffering whioh existed from Maine to Georgia,
and from the ocean to the Rocky Mountains, with
its waves surging to the rotten monarchies of 'Eu
rope. There wore times when it was a fault for a
man to remain silent; there was a time coming
when It would be necessary for them to clasp their
little children to their breasts to givo them warmth,
and protect them from the withering blight of the
winter's 1/last. He hoped end trusted that Di
vine Providence would' look down upon them
and come to their relief. If this, said ho,
had been a political meeting, how many wide
mouthed orators would there be here'? If this
had been a railroad meeting by whioh the capital
ist could make 20 or 30 per cent. on his invest
ment, there would bo a largo flock In attendance;
but a meeting has been called to furnish food to
the starving, and these men aro not to be found?
He thought their only way now was to beg from door
to door. Ho hoped the press would exercise its in
fluence In their behalf, as he was satisfied that
there were hundreds of those in this oomminflity

Meeting of Property Owners in the Nine
teenth Ira rd.—About three hundred persons, own
ing real estate la the Nineteenth ward, assembled
yesterday afternoon, pursuant to public notice, in
orris square, to devise means of giving employ
ment to numerous heads of families in that ward,
who are now unable to procure employment. Mr.
Josvph Parker Norris was chosen president, David
Seely and others vice presidents, and Dr. John
Houston secretary. Upon taking the chair, Mr.
Norris briefly stated the objects of the meeting.
He said that some measures must be adopted, and
that as only a abort period intervened between the
present time and the chilling blasts of winter, the
property owners feltit incumbent upon them to sot
with promptness in the matter. The Nineteenth
ward, he stated, was in a sadly neglected condi
tion, so far as public improvements were con
cerned. The streets, the squares, he., were in
bad condition, and he thought that most of the
holders of real estate would bo willing to submit
to an assessment, the avails of which should bo
devoted to the consummation of these improve
ments, by which the laboring men could be fur
nished with employment. He thought that every
property-holder in the ward would be willing to
pay his quota, and hoped that the present meeting
would saocessfully set the ball in motion. By way
of giving definite expression to these views, ho
proposed the adoption of a preamble and resolu
tions setting forth the evils that existed and the
necessity for relief, which were unanimously
adopted.
It was then moved that r committee of three
gentlemen from each procin'.t in the ward be ap
pointed to draft a plan for r3lief, and to shape the
proper resolutions--both to bo reported at a future
meeting. In accordance with the motion, the
following property-owners were appointed :
First precinct—S. E. Eldridge, P. H. Schuyler,
Jacob G. Klein.
Second preeinot—Jamos Moffat, Sr., Edward
Ryan, Wm. Adamson.
Third prooinot—John Geissler, R. P. Bower,
John logue.
Fourth preetnet—Tno. Cooper, Atm Davia„Too.
Graef.
Fifth precinct—A. Wartman, Jr., E. J. Mago
niglo, W. J. Harley.
Sixth preeinot—Samuel Townsend, James Mil
ligen, John MoManua.
Seventh preolnet—Charles Dixey, John Pace,
j times MoDouga I.
Elghthpreoinot—Oliver Evans, Chas. Peale. T.
W. Higgins.
Ninth precinct—Wm. Hoover, John 3. Bastwiek,
Geo. W. Schofield.
Tenth preeint—Frederick (tenth, John Gable,
Edward McDonough,
On motion, the presklent and secretary were
added to the list.
It was then moved that the committee meet this
evening, at the wheel-house, corner of Wood street
and Frankford road, at 71 o'clock.
The meeting then adjourned, to reassemble at
the call of the committee.
Another Charge Against a Bank Officer.—
Last evening, before Alderman Helfreeht, a hear
ing was had in the case of Mr. William Wain
wright, late president of the Commercial Bank, on
thotharge of perjury. A prosecution of a similar
character was oommenooda abort time since against
the mine defendant, before Alderman Ogle, by a
gentleman named ;lobed l. Beatty, formerly ohe
of the clerks in the • Commercial 'Sank, and after
the examhmtion of several Wa111480.9, the com
plaint was dismissed.
Tito charge having been renewed, a warrant
was issued by Alderman Ifolfreoht, and the
parties IWO brought before him. The office was
very mush crowded, and considerable interest
manifested in the case. The defendant was repre
sented by Messrs. Henry M. Phillips and C. In
gersoll, and the prosecutor by S. Alexander
Simpson.
At the commencement of the proceedings, Mr.
Ingersoll, on behalf of Mr. Wainwright, asked for
&postponement of the hearing, inasmuch as he
desired to see the Diatriet Attorney present dar
ing its continuance. It being a public prosecution
against a bank official, it was certainly nothing
more than just that the proper official of tits Com
monwealth, whose legitimate business it is to su
perintend all public prosecutions, should be in
formed that his preaeuee was desirable at the
hearing. Mr. Ingersoll supported his application
in some fOrelble remarks
Mr. Simpson said, that though he had been a
member of the Philadelphia bar forever four years,
ho had never yet heard such an extraordinary pro
position as the one made by the gentleman who ap
peared for tho defence. Such an application was
never before heard of in the preliminary hearing of
sash a cause, and it ought nut to be granted. Hero
was a bank officer charged with a violation of his
oath of office, and he appeared to oonduet the pro
mention. It had been said that money was what
was sought by those who have preferred the charge
of perjury against Mr. Wainwright. This state
ment he unqualifiedly pronounced to be false.
After a few general remarks relative to the na
ture of the case, he conoluded by expressing a
hope that the application would not be granted - .
Mr. 11. M. Phillips, in reply, said that there was
nothing novel or extraordinary, in tho application,
and that it was founded in common sense,
Tho Alderman, after hearing tho argument of
counsel, decided to postpone Dito bearing until to
morrow afternoon, in °idol to allow the District
Attorney an oppertinuty to, be present. When
this decision was made, Mr. Simpson stated
that the District Attorney was cognizant of the
ease, and that 'he was assisting him in the prosecu
tion.
The Fire Directors.—A Ineang of the
Board of Fire pirectors was held last evening, at

ent lire companies shall confine their operations,

THE MONEY MARKET.
•Pnixxoesanrs., November 9, MT.
The great event of the day in financial matters
has been the meeting of the stockholders of the
Bank Of Pennsylvania The feeling that has been
rife in the community against the late president of
the bank appears to be fully shared by the stock
'holders, and there is a very determined intention
manifested to have the whole of his proceedings
ferreted out, and to hold his alders and abettors in
fraud and wrong to answer financially and legally.
It Is made the special duty of the new board of
directors to proceed la this work, which, we hope,:
to see thoroughly performed. It will be a sacred
duty to cause all snob parties, if they can be found,
to disgorge their ill-gotten funds, for the sake of
the widows, the orphans, the trusts, and the chari
ties, whoa moneys have been. luvelted in the stook
of this bank, because it was the Rank of Penn
sylvania—the financial agent of the State—and
looked upon as the safest and moat trustworthy de
pository in the Commonwealth.
There was a general determination evinced to
continue the corporate existence of the institution,
to add new subscriptions to its capital. To save
the charter, which is thought to be worth consid
erable, is in itself a matter of importance, and by
well-directed efforts in good and industrious hands.
it is not unlikely that the bank may be again placed
in a solvent position.
Business at the stook board continues to become ,
daily more enlivened, and the prices of specula
tive and other stocks are all slowly advancing. If
the next news from Europe is not much worse than
that by the last two or three arrivals, we may ex
pect to see a rapid advance in all kinds of shares.
The money market is perceptibly easier,
In another portion of to-day's issue will be found
a report of the decision of Judge McLean in the
case of the New Albany and Salem Railroad, upon
some Important points connected with railroad mat
ters. He lays down the rule that a receiver is to
be appointed in the discretion of the court, and for
the benefit of all the parties interested, and that it
is necessam to show an anise of authority on th e
part of a iiilmed company before tfei court
displace them from possession. Re adds that the
court feels itself authorized to postpone the en
forcement of the rights of the bondholders, when the
circumstances warrant the belief that in a short
time the road will be in a condition to meet its en
gagementa under the mortgages.

MATTERS AND THINGS IN NEW YORK.
(From the New York papers or lut evening.]
MAYOR WOOD SENDS FOR A POLICE FORCE.—
The workingmen's meeting which assembled in
front of the City Halt to-day, became noisy and
turbulent, and fears of an outbreak were enter
tained. Although the mayor bad promised their
committee that something should be done for them
by to-morrow, threats were made that the City Hall
would be attacked if relief was not afforded to-day.
The leaders wore so inflammatory in their speeches
that the mayor deemed it prudent to send for a
police force ; and between twelve and one o'clock
about fifty arrived, at his request. The crowd
dispersed in groups, and hundreds were to be seen
in knots, up to tka time of going to press, diacns
ilsg the probabilities of obtaining relief from the
Common Council.

A CAM. or Cult.D SrEALING.—Mr. D. M.
Hedges and wife, of No. 31 West Washington
Place, came to the deputy superintendent's office
about eleven o'clock this morning, in great distress
at the lost of a little girl, their daughter, who was
stolen from them a short time before. The child is
between four and five years of age and very beauti
ful, judging from the daguerreotype the parents
displayed to the officers. They state that during the
morning, Lizzie (as they call the girl) went to
their room arid asked permission to go to school
to-day, whisk was denied. She then went to the
servant and told her she was going_ out riding, and
wanted her cloak and hat, and the articles were
unwittingly furnished. She then went out with
out the knowledge of her parents, and was last
seen going up the Sixth avenue, near Eighth
street, by some ono who knew her, in company
with a man wearing a stared cap Tho parents
sOon after missed, and tilling to find her, went to
the officers as stated. It is believed that the man
has decoyed her away hem her home with the in- '
tention of carrying her away. She was dressed in
a red oloak, Shaker hat:and flouncedfcalieo dress.
The parents are nearly frantic at their loss. The
ease was placed in the hands of two efficient 'offi
cers, who will use every effort to recover bor.

Southwark Iron Works, a small steamship built

expectations of the builders be realized, a rel'el
built and fated in the manner proposed can make
the voyage from Liverpool to New York in five
days, or from Liverpool to Melbourne in forty days.
On Saturday evening, alst ult., Charles
Simpson, residing near Bethel meeting house, St.

BY THE PILOT
LETTER FROM NEW TURN.
Corre.pondenar of The Prem.)
Nsw Yoss, Noy. 9-4.20 P. M
The week begins with a very active money mar
ket, and we are told that borrowers, with "un
doubted security," find, rates in their favor.
fully believe this gratifying announcement- I did
not need to learn it from the apologist of the city
banks to know that a man of "undoubted seen
rity"—tbat IL with plenty of money, and whoi has
not wanted any during the pressure—can sail his
note with comparative ease. But who can with
truth assert that this bare fact is any indication
of ease in the money market ? I am as certain
as I can possibly be of anything that does
not depend on myself, that the tendency is
still for liquidation. and contraction, not for
expansion, and that the banks will shuffle, and
promise, and prevaricate, and mislead, Until they
are forced to go straight, or cease to exist, by the
strong arm of the. law faithfully interpreted and
bonestlyadministered. Rates in the street follow
the fluctuations of the banks, that is the promises
of the banks, and are a shade easier, but only for
first-dam paper. I believe the note brokers can
get money freely at the banks, at lead mach more
easily than any other class of men,and they re
lend this money ( which will b e horse to-day
on the "loans and discounts ") at the various
sates of per tentage which suits their sTpe
tites and the need of their customers. From
the unsettled state of the exchanges at preens
we may expect to see SS much gold shipped from,
as imported into this country from Europe. The
Baltic took out upwards of $220,000, as r told you
in my last, and the Persia, on Wednesday, will
probably take not far from a million. Rothschild's
agents are purchasing all they can get. and are
likely to make a good thing of the double opera
tion. Exchange is firm at full rates, and is likely
to continue so until the arrival of the cotton bill;
from the South. Sterling add to-day at 105a110.
The banks are in consultation, on a plan proposed
for their consideration relative to the country banks,
and resumption of specie payments—the old story.
What they will do it is quite impossible b say; but
the general belief is that, like all previous con
sultations. nothing will be done. The bill, of the
Western Bank of Lockport, Chemung County Rank
of liertiehead, Coterie County Bank of Phelps, and
Powell Bank of Newburgh were thrown out to-day
by the Metropolitan Bank, The Niagara River
(Tonawanda) Bank bills are again reesived to-day.
The proceedings of the classing home to-day were
as follows
Clearings, $14,391,201. 76; Balances paid in
coin, $9113.503 99.
The cash transactions at the sub-treasury were:
Receipts, $118,909 38; payments, $ 1 51,67 3 90;
balance, $5.323,815 51. The reoeipts for duties at
the Custom HOLM were $72,000
I em unable to get the bank statement is time
for post. The delay is said to be ceased by the
slowness of the Rank of Commerce. It is believed,
honorer, that there will be a large iwrease in
specie, no increase in loans, and a trifling in
crease in deposits and circulation. The reported
failures of Saturday were exaggerated or prema
ture, or, more likely, the reality has been ob
viated by the now favorite remedy of extension.
The stock market is somewhat more irregular
than on Saturday. At the first board Erie declined
; Chicago and Rock Island 2; Galena and Chi
cago 1. and Reading advanced II; Illinois Central
2 ; and Delaware and Masan 2. At the second
board New York Central closed at 691; Erie it
131; Reading at 351 ; Panama at 771; Michigan
Southern at and Illinois Central at S.S. The
market closed with firmness.
