In the Hospital last evening 147 patients were under, treatment, against 163 the previ vlous week. , At the close of the week there was one case of small-pox at the Pest-house. Psrsoral Collision Bitwri ths Citt Pbibom Phtsioiah aid a Mbmbbb of thb Citt Couhotl. The Chairman of the Council Com mittee on the City Prison, and the regular physician of that institution, from some cause which we have been unable to learn, became Involved In a personal difficulty yesterday afternoon about one o'clock, and, after some harsh words, they dealt in harsher blows. The dlsoiple of jEscelapius used his teeth Instead of the scalpel, and with them almost amputated one of the fingers ef the Council man; but be in return was bled to a consid erable extent, and carried away from theseene of the conflict with a countenance somewhat like that of Hamlet's father, as aeen by Horatio "More la sorrow than In anger."

Fire Last Evening—Loss Fifty Thousand Dollars. About ten o'clock last night a fire broke out in the) candle manufactory of J. H. Rogers ft Co., located on the corner of Harriet and Front-streets. The building was Quite a large one, being four stories high, and contained quite a heavy stock of candles of various kinds, together with ths nsnsl appnrtenanoM of suoh an establishment. . . . . The origin of the fire could not be definitely ascertained, bnt it is supposed to have caught from the furnace. - The flames spread with great rapidity to every part of the building, owing to the inflammable nature of the con tents, and In a few minutes it appeared to be enveloped in a single blaze. The lurid light east upon the snow-clad, bills of Kentuoky, against the sky, and reflected from the river. seemed for a while to dim the stars, and gave the landscape and the scene a beauty almost sublime. - The flames, several times, were communi cated to the adjoining buildings, but the promptness and the exertions of the firemen preserved them entirely from any serious damage. The loss to Messrs. Rogers A Co., wnose nuiimng, stock ana machinery were wholly consumed, can sot be less than $50,000. upon which, we believe, there was only a par- ti at msuranoe. ; Simons ard Probiilt FiT.r. fl-imama Affrat A Mar Daroiboublt Irjubid rt am Odtraoid Hdbrard. A difficulty oaourred on Saturday morning last, a few miles from tne city, on the Heading Road, between two men named John Rairley and William Spokes, In whioh the latter was seriously, if not fatally slabbed. We eould not learn the entire par ticulars, but as related to u, they assume somewhat the following form: Some months sgo Rairley, who is a farmer, employed Spokes to perform some labor for him, taking him to board in the family. For a considerable length of time their relationship was quite pleasant, but the fiend, jealousy, at last disturbed It, and it became as disagreea ble as it had before been harmonious. No words had pasted between them; butS. seemed Intuitively to feel that his employer regarded him with suspicion, and probably having given him some cause, the repelling power daily be came greater. The feeling in the mind of Rairley, how ever, had no basis, save "trifles light as air," until day before vesteruay, when be oame Into the houee and found his wife and Spokes In suoh a condition as to leave little room for doubt. Enraged beyond control, he seized a butcher-knife, rushed upon 8., and inflioted upon him several wounds, from which it is feared he can not recover. What has been the result of the affair we have not been able to learn, but, under the ciroumstanoes, we presume that if the wounded man should be restored to health, no legal oognlzance what ever will be taken of it; for from what little we hare been able to gather of the affair, pub lic opinion is deoidedly in favor of the action of the husband, whose honor without doubt has been dealt with foully. Mistiro or thr Cimcirkati Horticultural Sociitt. The Cincinnati Horticultural So ciety met at the nsual hour on Saturday last, in Bacon Building. The minutes of the last meeting were resd and approved. The Treas urer, Mr. William Stoms, submitted his report, showing a balance of $52 03 in favor of the Sooiety. Mr. Stoms also stated that the ao oonnts of the Recording Secretary, E. J. Hooper, and those of the Treasurer, agreed, leaving fifty-four cents In favor of the Secre tary's statements and vouchers. The retiring President of the sooiety deliv ered his valediotory address, after whioh the President elsot delivered his inaugural. Both of these were well received, being listened to with interest and attention to the close. The question of the appointment of commit tees, severally , on entomology, on all domestio wines, on sorghum, sirups, preserving of fruits and vegetables with or without sugar, then oame np, when a committee of five was ordered on entomology, the names of whom are to be submitted at the next meeting. After some debate, in whioh the moral, as well ss ths economical, and, by the charter, unconstitutional, principles of the subject were somewhat discussed, the matter of the formation of a oommittse on wines, sorghum, Ac, was, on motion of Mr. W. Addis, unanimously laid upon the table. On motion of Mr. Heaver, the question of the dig ouselon of the profitableness of the pear in this locality, was laid over till next Saturday. The following gentlemen, presented by S, W. Haseltine, were unanimously elected to membership; John Blaokburn and Henry F. West. Adjourned. Ssrious Stabbiro ArrRAT oh Fboht strrrt. About nine o'clock on Saturday night, an affray ocourred on Front-street, between Main and Walnut, in whioh a man named Gibbons was severely stabbed bv another named David Boyle. It appears that B. had been out to some place, in company with the wife of G., and when they returned some harsh words arose In regard to the matter, which soon led to blows. During the melee that ensued, Boyle drew a knife and inflioted several wounds upon his antagonist, one in tne siae ana enotner in the neok. ' The locality is one of the worst in the oltv. and is a general resort for all of the lower classes. The cognomen "Hell's Half-acre" has been fixed upon it, and, without doubt, it deserves ths name. It is quite probable the habits of the persons engaged in the above anatr were suon as lead directly to jealousy, and thence, particularly when drunkenness ocours, to homicide. - The wounded man is said to be in a very dangerous oondition, either of the wonnds under unfavorable cironmstanoes. being suffi cient to produoe death; and, although alive at tne latest accounts, there seems to be but little hope of bis ultimate recovery. . Boyle was ar rested shortly after the affair, and committed to the Pearl-street Station-house. Burglary or Fbort-stbirt Fiendish As sault cfor ar Urprotrctrd Girl. The res idence of a man named William Haggerty, located on Front-street, between Mill nd Park, was entered, on Saturday morning last, aoout two o'oioox, oy a villainous looking mu latto named William Fitzhush. Mr. H. is an tmplou at the gas-works, and had just left the house of whioh F. must bave been aware when the thief effected an entrance through a back window to the room of a vouni woman named Mary O'Brien, who, seeing a man oy ner siae, soreemea at tne top of her voice. The negro then struck her violently, threw her upon the floor, repeating his blows, and finally lumped noon -her with hla feat. stamping and beating her in the most horrible manner. Officer Fletcher and Mitchell, hearing the disturbance, hastened to the spot, bat the soonnarei naa maae nis escape. They tnen Instituted a vigorous search, which, after some time, was successful. The villain was com mitted to the Pearl-street Station-house, and a few hours later arrianged before the Polioe Court on two separate charges burglary and assault with intent to kill. The Injured girl was unable to appear against him, and he was accordingly oommitted.in default of $1,000 ball, w an examination on luesaay.

Newport is determined not to be behind its neighbors in ambition, although its population be much smaller. Street railroads are the order of the day; the evidenoe to the world at large that a town has thrown off its swaddling clothes and assumed the habit of a city, and it is important that Newport bave them, otherwise its true posi tion and importance might be misapprehended. Beside, it has an important suburb some distance above, It is true; but nevertheless, in 'every respect a suburb, for if Newport does not extend to it the reason it simply because it is not large enough, and that suburb is called Jamestown, or more familiarly Jlmtown. It so happens that between the aforesaid oity and suburb there is no land communication, ex cept by means of a road near the river bank, and during a portion of the year it is some what doubtful whether this communication be by land or water; but the general impression is that It is somewhat mixed, and at times a cart, at others, a skiff, ia the more appropri ate method of travel. The disadvantage is mutual. To our metro- Eolitan merchants, because they find the in abitants of Jlmtown exoellent customers to our suburb neighbors themselves, because they are oompelled to resort to this place for the luxuries and necessaries of life, suoh as sugar, tea, eoffee, dry-goods, lard, whisky, As. These grievances are no longer to be borne. The Metropolis and the village most have a constant, reliable, and aooeeiable connection, and street railroads are just the neoessary facilities. In view of this. Johnson A Co.. of Cincln. nati, have proposed to construct a line of street railroads rrom tne Newport Ferry to Jamestown, the ears to be placed on the track within two months from the laying of the first rail. They propose to oommence work as soon as a charter is procured and the weather win permit. . We believe the investment will be a good one, ana it certainly win ne a great aooommo datlon to the people of both places. Mastrb Cohmisbiorrb's Sals.

The Ohio has continued to rise rapidly since our last, the swell increasing with every hour, and nil of yesterday the water was rapidly ascending the banks. Last evening there were not leas than twenty lire feet of water between here and Louisville. The river waa rising at Inst accounts at Pittsburg, and at Wheeling aud below It waa swelling aa far aa Louisville. The Ice was running freely and awiftly on AUimUy, but yesterday the quantity waa some what diminished, although the Newport and Coving, ton ferriee were not running after nightfall. The weather on Saturday waa vailed enough, be ing rainy, snowy and aleety; but yesterday It was more settled, though moderate In temperature even warm for the season. The Wharf was in aucb a wretched condition on 8 tturday that shipping was somewhat curtailed; but still business waa tolerably active, and freights in good supply, particularly for the South. The rates were as follows: PittabargXJotton, 75o.: Molasses, 74c.; Whisky, Mc.: flour, 30c.; Pork and Lard, 42c.; found Freights, loo. per 1110 lbs. NashvilleWhisky, per brl. ,50c.; Ale, 40c.; Pound Freights, 3930c. per 100 lbs. 8t. Louis Heavy Pound Freights, 26c. per 100 lbs.; Whisky and 011,79c. per brl.; Stoves, 35c.; Ale, Mo. per brl.

New Orleans-Whisky and Oil $1; Flour, 600.; Pork goo.; Bacon, Butter, Uhecae, Ac, 36o. per 100 lbs.; Keg Lard, 20c.; Hnraea, 110 per head. At Louisville the river was rising rather slowly on Friday evening, with nine feet one inch water In the Canal. During the previous twenty-four hours the river had risen six inches at the head of the falls. Saturday's Louisville Courier remarks: The Falls are navigable for descending boats, bnt at noon yesterday there wore only three feet water up the middle chute for ascending boats. From the indications we think the river will continue to swell to-day, and we think thenlwill be four feet water up the middle chute. That will enable the PaciHo and others to ascend the Falls and load at the city wharf. Haturday'a St. Louis papers say: The river at thia point Is at praaent stationary, but on Thursday night fell threomchee. The ice flows freely past us, and the stream nine fast, giving every Indication that the passage ia clear below. Business on our levee yesterday was very lively, and its genial appearance was very consoling. stNiiNOOrTHi CAMBBtnoa. The Cumbridee met with an accident at Hut Island on the loth. She left Cairo on December 29, and lay np for ten days at Grand Tower; when the gorge gave wuv, ahe started up the river on the 10th, ana all went vk'H on board on the 11th, when she suddenly struck a rock on the Missouri shore while olose In.

Business in Third-street was rather quiet than otherwise on Saturday, but the demand for Money oontlnued far In excess of I lie supply, and the market very stringent, more so than two weeks before. The Belecting-houses are an ll".t home all the notes they can spare, and In this v. ay keep their supply of Currency short. At present rates they are enabled to make a very fair profit by their selections, and they do not spare any effort to make it pay. The Discount-houses were londiug moderately to their best customors at 10W12 per cent., but they have not the means to favor them even at muoli higher Eastern Exchange was still steady, though In leaa demand than on Friday, at Hmii butins. and U telling rate.

Friday's New York Times thus refers to Thursday last: The State of the market for Money ia something less disquieting to-day, although the freedom of ne gotiations is still restricted. A number of new pri vate leaders, on call, brought their balances Into the street, in sums of $10,000 to 120,000, and there was, also, a fair inquiry for prime lists 01 paper, anil, sin gular to say, with lees apparent discrimination against the long dates. We hear of '4(36 months' approved bills being done at t9 per cent., and tbe leading Discount Brokers report that this class ol paper is by no means pressed, showing that, so far as the regular trade is concerned, most ef the mer chants are content with their 7 per cent. Bank facili ties, whatever these may be for the moment. At th. same time we hear of some very good 46A0 day ac ceptances, sold from second bauds, after being hypo thecated for money at call, at from 8 to 9X per cent., though choice namea are quoted at from 7 to 7H per cent, of the eaine dates. From the Stock Brokers the Inquiry for Money Is still active at 7 per cent. The Foreign Exchanges, this forenoon, pointed to the furthercheapening of ratos for Saturday's mail, and a leading drawer dropped his sight bills on London to 109 per cent.; thus placing, by comparison, fair sixty-day bills at lOSXioB, aud the very beat at 1083a percent. No change in Francs; the range continues wide, f.3.22Kf.S.lK. Saturday's St. Louis Demoorat observes concern ing Friday! Business It quite stacnaht nothing doing, except that the Exchange market Is brisk at 1 per cent, on the East, some being bought by brokers aa high at 2h premium for bankable tunds. This extreme rate of eichange causes the assorting business to be gen erally resorted to. Currency waa scarce as ever to-day, some dealers refusing to allow any difference between it and bankable funds, and others making only H per cent, difference against Illinois and Wis consin.
