STATE OF FINANCES AT IIOSTON.
Cetie*pond>ae* of Th? N. Y. Tribun*.
Kojton, Tuesday, Oct. 6, I S.V.
At thia ' p. ra. ?? Lave no intelligence of any fail?
ures to-day.
Tbe reported suspension of Rioe K. A Co., a largo
paper bouse, waa untrue; it Ricbardaoa K. A
Co. Tbe Merchant* Bank of this city, so wisely
manHgcd for many years past by Franklin Haren, its
Pit ider.t, was said to be so largo a loeer by C. II.
Mills A Co. and Lawrence A Stone, that eome igno?
rant persons holding its note* benam* alarmed, and
went to its counter for the specie. To basinets men,
thai little " run ' was simply udioulouit. TV-re is not
a moneyed institution in the country etrot.jrer than ths
Mei chants'Bank of Boston. It has a capital of four
niiilions of dollars, but its circulation is comparatively
small. Originally it was a muob smaller inelitntion,
but under the remarkably sucoessiul administration of
Mr. Haven i who has ben Us President for about
twenty years paetj its oapit&l has been increased from
time to rime, until it has become by far the largest and
?lumpest Bai k in the State. The ...an- made by tr ?
Men bnuta Umi k to the great house of C. H. Mo! A
Co. were all amply secured by collateral; so that it
will not lose a dollar by their Lard fortune Nor did
it have more tbar. a small amount of Lawrence, Sum >
A Co.'a paper, and its loos from their failure will not
probably exceed a thousand dollars.
'I his Bank has jut completed the erection of
noble enifice, occupying the entire front on Stat
-!:?? t boas. Wilson's lane to Exchange street, and ex
ter ding to the dt ptb of about two bund red f< et. In
bddiiion to tbe most spacious and convenient bank
irg room that I I ave ever seen, it has five rooms for
<M< i naiks, insurance offices, A. , the rent of which
will y <-ld a large annual income lot tbe investment.
The Suifolk Bar k also has just moved lato the new
and COally btildii'g which has been built upon iu
fatn reite. Its " b >u?e-warmir.K," I ari told, was an
accession of *.?(0 (MS) in speoe, iu addition to what it
liar! In its vaults last Saturday.
Mice tbe merchants' meeting, on Friday last, more
i "rfidence ard cheerfulness has been perceptible. To?
day it Las appeared (to an outsider, at least] a little
easier. It teemsetitaic that the P. .<t ?.. banks will n .t
suspend. I have hi ard of a broker wbo is drawing
spseie from thern at the rate of about $1,000 a day, in
order t" sell it for their rotes at a premium of one per
cent. Ht b' r.sted yesterday, to an acquaintance of
mine, that "he was making his *i a day ' in this
reputable matner! It never seemed to occur to his
little mind that it would be bettor for the public topics
him f 40 a day than to suffer him to set to mischievous
an example.
My impression, from all that I can see and hear, is,
that tho //??rc has bad its day?the fever is over, the
crisis is past, and the community is convalescent,
tbr ugh it may have some ' pull-backs,'' and its recov?
ery will be slow. If any considerable proportion of
Western produce should come forward, in liquidation
of debts owed here by tho West, before tho canals
sLall be closed, our business will be roetored to some?
thing like prosperity as early as January next j other?
wise it niuet continue in a bad way until tho opening of
the SpllDg. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
M:W-%ORK STATE FA IE.
THE FIRST DAY.
Bui riLo, Tuesday, Oct. fi, 1P57.
Everytbing opens auspiciously. The weather yes?
terday was delightfully tempting to induce exhibitors
to turn out and till up tLe grounds wi h things appro?
priate for this great annual exhibition of the farm pro?
ducts of this State, and it was well improved. Tue
total number of entries last evening was over sixteen
hundred, and it comprises a'most every branch usually
exhibited; and to day, the weather beirg still very
fine, many other articles will be added to the list, and
I boas already in arrer.tred for the inspection of the
^r> at i rowd of visitors that will be preseut to-morrow.
Ah then is not a crowd to day, tho faci.iry of exami?
nation is much better than it will bo afterward, and I
am free to ray Iba slow kt quite orediiable in all
branches. The show < f vegetable production-" is u >t
as large as it ehou'd be, though in quality it could not
be better. I hope n good many farmers will have les?
sors of value in eeeiig what may be done iucrei><
ing the size of boota, carrote, ou.ons, pirsnip?, cj'i
bage, potatoes, squashes, etc., sdVne of which are
enormous.
Tho show of butu r and cheese is altogether too
small. Farm implements arc pretty weil represented,
Among which ate a few new ones to be spoken of
hereafter. The mt-st important, in mv opini m, of all
in this class is the portable steam engine, one of which
? made here at $3aw, representing two horse power,
and only costiig the price of one good horse?wili do
more work in a year lhau any tour horses are able t >
[a l lorm. A steam engine ia a farm necessity.
Of horned cattle, the Hereford* are in great force,
Among the exhibitors in this class 1 notice tbe naim s
of S. At Ely, Chautauoue County; K. C Kemiugtou,
t 'ayUfa County; Van Yalkecburgh A Co , Lockpoit,
ana A. ?? II. Hrown, Orleans County. This breed of
cattle are hex oming more and more favorites in this
State. It is not a good milking breed, but the steers
make excellent working oxen, and beef a tiner quality
than any other in this country.
The Durham* are not hate in great force, and gen
eially tht y do not impress mc with tt.eir excellence.
Peihap* having lately seen the herd at Thotndaie has
unfitted me from appreciating animil* bebw that
standard. 1 noticed among the exhibitors the names
ot Thos. (iotild. Coyuga County; Wm. Miller, Cana?
da West; J. R. Caulaiie, Eue County: H. 1'. Beach,
Madison Countv. Sam. llecox, Buffalo; Seth Fennier,
Erie County; F. 11. irimiau. East Hamburg, Ribert
Carrie, Cauada West, and several other* whose na nts
weie not on the stalls at the early hour 1 passed
arouid. A number of these ai/unals are as fine at
evtr have been exhibited at any of our previous fairs
There is an exeel'ent show of Devout?many of
them of superior cbajacter. I can give but a few of
tbo names of exhibitors of Devons, viz: George C.
MoOta ot Ontario Countv; C. Biarmnel, Orleans
County; D. E. Gregory Orleans County; Stanton and
Johnson, Catlaraugus; W. II. Focks Canada West;
Ira Mao ..i Erie County; St< phen Leggett. M mroe
Couiity. I also noticed a yoke ot very beautiful, well
trained work oxen of this breed.
There are some very good Ayrshires here, and a
few Alderneys. The latter are the very best of all
other bueds tor milk cows for families, in city or
BOOB try, keeping but one or two. They are quite
sinsi!, very dqeilc, and easily kept; are always great
pets, and theirmi'.k is almost as rich as cream of otaer
varieties.
As a whole, the show of horned cattle has seldom
been exceeded in number, and never in good quality.
The world is improving. Of fat cattle there are but
ft?-, but some very good ones. One pair from ( tri?
ads, the exlubitois tell those who come to look at
them, weigh 7,.'>0rJ pound*. < ?f tuts I have only to say,
1 don't 11 iieve it, and 1 am sure nob'tdy else will who
tin w; enough about fat cattle to tell one fron, a
horse, or to distinguish a great ox from a great lie.
Then ate h gcod many horses entered, but nearly
allcf tht m ate iu close stalls and invisible. I con
dude tbe show of horses It not as larire as was autit i
pattd, bet aust many of tin stail* built tor horses have
i ?? i tskin tor horned cattle, aftei all their stalls wore
I blltd.

THE "CENTRA/. AMERICA DISASTER
OFFICAI. STATEMENT OF JOHV TICK, l*tU
ASSISTANT ENGINEKK.
Mr. Um baa furiished the United State* Mail
Steam/hip Company with following formal or olTirial
statement of tbe circcmidancee attending the ' -* of
this iteamer. It will be perceived that it coincides
ard eorroborate* ?heacoouttas given by Hal Chief
Engineer:
"We Ufr Havana en Ibe morning of tbe *-h of Sep
Umber, Clo weather, but wind increasing until Friday
morning, when it blew a perfect hurricane. Oar en?
gines and pumpe on our leaving New-York, and up to
and during tbe gale, were in perfect ordor. As soon as
the leak was dim overed, I received orders from Mr.
Ashby to tdand by Worthington'e pnmpi and bilge to
jectiors. At this time tie slip had a strong list to
starboard, our coal barrows were useless. We were
paiaiafj coal in baskets and buckets, with our gaug
aetifttd by moet a'J the waiters sect by CapL Herr.
don. Tbe pumps were working, a were al?o the bilge
itjections. About U o'clock a. m., on Friday, tne
water in the ship was quite hot, the rnll of the
?hip causing it to swash up to the fires o
tbe starboard boiler. We fired up witi
wood ard coal and pietty of it. We also had steam
01 the donkey boi er ready for use, and this wa? used
when steam in tbe main boiler was exhausted. Sev?
eral stoppages occurred of a few moments duration
each for tbe purpose cf repairing the- feed-pipe. Tue
main engine* stopped about ?> o'clock, the water at the
time putting out al! the fires, notwittxtanding all oar
?it rtione. Gangs of bailers were organize! and tbey
bai'ed all night?barrels were aieo riggeo for this pttr
I... <? but the water paired on nf. Tne leak around
tbe t tat be Old shaft wa? stopped with blankets and a
sail outeide. I won d here .(ate tbat all was doM in
our department to keep tbe water down that men < ould
do, but without avail. Tbe ship went down at H o clock
p. m. of tbe Ittk, when I took to a plank.
" In tbe afternoon of Saturday Mr. Ashby informed
me tbat be was going to tbe brig for boats and a- i-'.
atce, and left in the boat con'ainini; tbe laat three
ladies. When tbe boat shoved off I beard Capt.
Herndon reiterate his order to Mr. Ashby to obtain the
boat as soon as possible, and my opinion is that
Mr. Ashby would certainly have returned with assist?
ance if it lad been possible.

Fiter stve prf^unfcor.* were made by tha different
fire companies to receive Eog-ne Co. 10 cf this c.'j .a
en appropriate aaaacer co their return from lViiladel
ptialaAteveuig. At !> o'clock the different comp?
panics, aooorxpenied by the engines, boo* carriages
and track*, torches and binde of music, had assem?
bled ia the viciaity of Courtlaadt and Qreenmri^h
street Ergirefjo. B + v to receive the returning
fin men oc their landirg from the f^rrr-boat Soon
after 10 o r'oek the beat touched the wharf, aad the
company wm received with loud aad prcHracted
cheering.
Tbe procession waa formed after some deiay, Engine
Company No. bating the right. The lire of march
war up Greenwich street to Guar-, thence through the
various streets to Broadway, dow* Broadway to
Broome, through Broome to the Bowery, down Bowe?
ry to Grand street, through Grand to Elm and up Elui
to the houte of Ergine Company No. to, which ia sit
uated between Broome and Spring streets. The house
was illnmica;ed and decorated. The windows of the
private dwellirgs, on either side of Elm, in the vicicity.
wtre lighted and flags were tit furled acres* the street
in Grard l im and Broome streets at frequent inter?
val", irecribed with the words M welcome home."
But as is usual in firerrei's displays, a ?eve-e fight
took place, in which pbto! slots were freely ex-handed.
Ergste Co. tl.wtich was attacked by the- Dead
Rabbit crcwd ruxnicg with Engine Co. No. 21 ia
Broadway ard Chatham streets, on the oecasion of
tbe recert parade, did not torn out with tho prooee
s.on. It was belisved in tLe eatly part of tt.e evening
that tlere would be no disturbance, as tho line of
march bad been arranged to avoid the loeau'ies
where these be'ligerent companies would bs
likely to meet in sufficient numbers on brth
?ides to en ate a disturbance. But a nmcber
of men and boys, said to be identified with No. II
Ergite and I t Ho~e, congregated on the corner cf
Delancy and Bowery, urder the belief the procession
would move down the Bowery from Bond street, in
accordaree with the line of march as oncinally ar
rarged. The diversion t! rough Broome street divided
their numbers, ar.d No. 21 pawed down Bowery tn'o
Gratd streit without being dieturbed; but as the last
cf their r umber pa-?ed the corner of Elizabeth street,
seme one threw a stone or brick at No. 21,
and in an instant a half-do/en persons were
in the midst of a fight, which was fol?
lowed with the quickness of thought by a rapid
di-charne of pistols, proceeding a? well from No. 21 as
from theciowd on the sidewa'k. Some fifteen shots
were fired within a minute, and the result was a gene?
ra! scattering among all who were in the immediate
vicinity. The marching was interrupted only for a
moment. As the firing ceased No. 21s men resumed
their place* and cor.tii.ued their march.
So far as our reporter could learn, only one persoa
was wourded. He was a young man named Ch tries
White, residitg on Essex etrcet near De'.aneey.
Whils be was standing on the comer,* at the time
looking at the procession, the end of h:s forefinger was
blown tff by a pistol ball. He w.^ut to the City Hos?
pital and hod the wound dressed.

Tho row organization of tbe Free Academy was

of ltii?' etUatlad Iliads cf Department*, au honor
which is not empty only because a fat salary is an?
nexed to it.
Air. llrsi Dil t ?peke against tbe scheme. He said
it was establisbirg an oligarchy, aud pointed out the
trjustice of p'aeing the Professor of French over the
professors of (lernan and Spani-di. He could see no
ir ore reason why be should be placed over th* profes?
sors of tbiVe two languages which he did not uuder
-tacd.more than over the Professor of Oreek and Latin
languages which be did understand. This aboli-lit*
the professorship of Civil Ecgiceeriog a stndy interior
in importance to none pursued at too Acacemy. It
? a not a", i rj;at ization at all, it was only a classifica?
tion of irthitet. ard that without rtf' n-ui e to the order
of their pursuit. The Professorship of Natural Phi
beopfcy, another branch of science which bad the
mislcrt'unc to be of some use to its students, was also
abolished. Tbe change would estabbsh a compact
little despctisin which would govern the Committee
end tbe Hoard of Education V-<>. It* object was to
n ake the Academy a College and nothing more?ti
acminister the institution for tho benefit of fhe fifteen
students who graduated arnually and not the two or
tbiee bncdrid who entered every year.
A it lenged attempt was made to chc'ke .rf Mr.
Ber.erJtct, but be continued. Hi Could not thick that
this wss the ofl>prirg of the Committee on the Free
Academy. He thought that it bad another paternity.
Hity could not bave imagined nach an anti-republi?
can Kheme. Prof. Doremus and Prof. Koerner were
quietly le<.L.!sted out of the Academy. The log-roling
character was ehown by the increase of salaries. I>r.

posed that Bl would not do to omit him on account of

tor the Muskidmao. There were iMaNOM oca ver?
sions of late fiom Mohammedanism to fjt.r*
tiaeity. The reason was that the Muasubnaa per?
ceived that the nations who helmed iu the Bibb}
were possessed if tbe greatest civil and military
power. In Tutkey now the Scriptures were sole
?pt-nly. ar.d bou?|ht by Mohammedan* of every rank
and station io life. They were sold io the tarda of th *
Mosoues and on tbe steps of St. Sophia. Theapeaker,
in a familiar way, told n any anecdotes of the anxiety
< vinctd, and large sums of money expended, by the
wtalthy Turks to secretly obtain a copy of aha
book, which tiie rolporteura hawked about the streets
with tbe aj, "Books that do not Ii?1'' The die*
st n iLation of the Bible was tbe only way in which the
Tutkish wcineu could be brought to Chn-tiauit/, for
tbt ir pet i:Uer costome forbade that a strange bbjbj
should ?nttr :heir pteseiice. Some two or three years
ago a copy of the Bible was aeised and sokf to a
dealer in olives and candles, wbo uaod it as wrapping
pep? r. A wealthy I k lady bought some of htj
weros, a I ich were .-rut to her im Iceed in a leaf of tbo
good b<' k. She read the page sad aewt for

tbote i f Syria, and there w re yet wh .l natiooalltie*
without the New Tentament. Tne British and For?
eign Bible Society were working heartily. It had dm
ieaalBOta4 80,000 ooylasj ol tie Scripture* in nineteen
different languages. But still more were aeoded -
double tbe numlrer rould easily be distributed. Is
laSaVSI 1.073 Turkish Bible* had been rUspoaed

in lftob, when they least expected it, oa account ol the

in 189} 'hey Lave m r.?- left todittributa. Dr. Hobomf
ihr lead an interesting letter from Mr. Brown, the
F. S. Consul at Ccnstantincple, in wbiob be stated
that he had been officially informed by the Turkish
G( veinmc nt that it accorded religious freedoaa to all
Mnssiilmans. and only required to na satisfied that its
subjects were not forced to em la ace Christianity.
The oppoituiiity would soon approach whan Cbriatieaa
would have the (hance to decisively overpower Mo
Lau medanisui, and urged his hearers to bo ready to)
meet it.
The cirri >es were here vancd by aioging a portion
I of the l. Patthtt, when Dr. Mono? addreaaod tho
meeting. He said be had been for 'Jo year* Sooretarv
( f a Bible Boetsty, and it del'ghted btm to moot with
bis American eo laborers in such a cause. All other
religious societies were dependent upon Bible
Societies. I.p. ? .-pahar s. Methodists, Congregatioa
alists, I're-b.t, i.?ih in fact all bodies of Ubrbst
iars, stood upon the ccrrjrxon platftYa. of a Bible
Society without any conscientious pangs, aad
it united them in fne strongest bonds, aad all
sects would wotk for its increased usefuhseoa. Me
had lately visited the American Bible House, of which
he had often heard, but be was filled with wonder at
witnessing its vast resources, its 17 steam preiste, it*
IM) employees, its 400,0<nj unbound aod i)0,000 bound
copies of the precious book. When be examined (hut
institution and remembered that it waa canitd on by
voluntaiy contribution* from Cnriatiaa moo, his
beait rose in adoration of God. In France the
first Bilde Society was instituted In IH13,
and was called the !*"??? ?mt Bible Society.
It wss very limited in its operations, however, for it
was only permitted to distribute Protestant rrsreiooe
among I'rnteetanta. In KU) its sphere of operation*
was somewhat eitei.d? d and it celebrated ita Twenty,
fourth Anniversary last year. He would give the
figures to show what it had done, not to compare tbeoi
with the results of the American Bible Society, be
eaure in France it must be remembered tbey labored
under many disadvantages, aod eneouat>r*d
much opposition from tbe Papist*. A matte*
was like a field ef wbeat with tare* in it, aad Franco,
on tbe contrary, was like a field of toco* with wheat tw
.t. TLe Frerch Society had, from its orgaaUetioc,
distributed l,4^8,4f? copies of tbo Bibto aad New
Tectament in Fran e. During tb? peat year, the? baa,
