A laborer named Patrick Derrick, in the employ of the New York and Erie Railroad Company, wan suddenly caught by the cow-catcher of an express train ou Monday evening, whilst at work near the Monroe Works, in Orange county. The train passed over him, fracturing both his legs, and otherwise injuring him. The train was immediately stopped, and the unfortunate man put upon it, and conveyed to the City Hospital. New York. His left leg was almost cut off below the knee, and amputation of the injured limb is found necessary. He is nnder the care of Burgeon Buckley. The injured limb was amputated last evening, and the patient was going on favorably at night. Sudden Death. ? A woman named Anne McGon gele, dropped dead on Monday evening at the house No. 77 Centre street. It is supposed that her death was caused by intemperance and exposure. Coro ner Wilhelm neld an inquest upon the body last evening, when after hearing the testimony of de ceased's daughter, and that of Doctor McNair, the jury returned a verdict of death from apoplexy from the use of spirituous liquors. The deceased was a native of Ireland, and about forty years of age. Serious Conflagration ? About half-past four o'clock yesterday morning, a fire was seen to issue from the extentdve wire factory of Messrs. Parmalc & Harvey, situate in thirty-third street, about one hun dred feet east of the Third avenue. A general alarm was given, but the flames spread so rapidly that the could not be controlled, until the house in which they originated, another belonging to the same firm, and the extensive building used as an Indian rubbe factory by Messrs. Upham & Co., were entirely . consumed, with all the stock, material, and most of the machinery in them. The loss is roughly esti mated at $100,000. The buildings and stock were fully insured. Captains Whigham and Flandreau, Eighteenth ward, with Assistant Captain Dunne, of the Twentieth ward, and a large forcc of officers, were present. ~Alakm of Fire in a Ward School ? Escape and Safety of the Scholauh. ? About hall-past eleven o'clock on Monday morning, very great alarm was caused in Ward School No. 30, situ ate in Twenty-fourth street, between the Seventh and Eighth avenues, by a fire which was observed to break out near to one of the flues upon the second floor, adjoining the female department. The house is warmed by heated ait, and from a deficiency in the main flue ? a brick being wanting ? a wooden joist was set in flames. There were nearly two hun dred scholars in the building at the time, nnder the care of Mr. Fotilke and Miss Miller, and they all happily escaped without the slightest accident. This Via mainly owing to the promptitude and prudence of Miss Miller. This lady saw the smoke, and imme diately walked in and stood by the flue, spreading out her dress so as to conceal the appearance of the fire from the girls, at the same time warning them to break up and get away. Mr. Joseph B. Macauley, janitor of the school, immediately came with a small hose, and witli the assistance of the firemen, extin guished the flames. The school will be opeucd as usual to-day, as, fortunately, all the scholars escaped without injury. Last evening a number of woiucu were employed in washing and cleaning out the rooms. The damage to the house is trifling. Firhs.? About eleven o'clock last Monday right, a lire broke out in the cabinet making shop of Mr. Con rad Seenag, situate in the rear of No. 37 First street. '1 he flames spread very rapidly, owing to the com bustible nature of the stock, and consumed a part of the second, and the entire of the third stories of the building. The damage is estimated at f j00, which is covered by insurance. Captain Hart, Seventeenth ward, attended with a large number officers. At half-past twelve o'clock on Tuesday morning, a fire broke out in the front room of the first floor of the house No. 94 Duane street, occupied by Mr. A. (Jehrill, boot maker. It originated by a straw bed being set in flames by some means unknown. A large number of firemen attended and extinguished it without much damage except to the bedtick and bedstead. The Chief of Police aad ward Captains attended. About 9 o'clock Monday night, a fire broke out lu lUe boocmont nf t,h? house No. 39 Rose street, occupied by a number of poor families. It was caused by the carelessness of some of the inmates in bring ing wood in contact with the stove. Damage trifling, mostly by water. The Chief of Police, with the ward captains, attended.

It appeared from the testimony of i his mother (Bridget Haley) that no blame could be | attached to any person but the deceased himself. He got into the "house, and, in company with his bro ther, went playing with and pushing the cars, when | he received the accident. Verdict, " Death from injuries accidentally received." Deceased was a na tive of Ireland. Death from Exposure Coroner O'Donnell held an inquest Monday afternoon, at the house No. 13 1 Thomas street, upon the body of a man, named Henry Murray, who died there rather suddenly last Thursday, from an illness existing since Christmas eve.

Court? Spcelnl T' rti? . Decision by Hon. Judge Mit'hell. Jan. H. ? 1 lir. Carroll Will Case.? Dan el J. Carroll vs. Charles 11. Carroll ? Judge Mitch ell, in deciding this ca?e, said, the bill of complaint Htsfouh the will of Charles Can-oil, whereby he authorized his executors to sell, mortgage, or lea.se, hi" estate, for tin: purpose of paying L's debts arid the legacies given by him. The bill alleges that Charles II. Carroll, the executor, received personal e.-tate sufficient to pay all his debts, and to pny the sum of $10,000, on which, by the will, he v:aa, at his f lection, to take in money or lands in t'ae Hermitage tni.-t ; but thai, notwithstanding this, he tad, in , 1S3h. mortgaged lands belonging to the estate in ! Rochester and in Livingston comity , to the North j Ameri( an Tinst and Banking Company for $50,000, i on executing the mortgage on Rochester land, ')Oth in his individual capacity, and as executor, and the mortgage on the Livingston county lands m his indi- 1 viaual capacity. The bill alleges that both paicc'i of lniul were parts of the real e:-tat>' of the tc'tatoi y.t the time ot bis making his will and his decease, and that I he Lhiijxnton county lands were part of the tra>'t of land mentioned in the testator's will as the He miitage tract, and that C. H. Carroll had no valid title thereto. Toe bill claims that the company has acouired no title to the lend thus mortga^eo, and calk for an account from the executor of all his ad ministjatlon of the estate, and from the Banking Company of the rents received by it. The bill waived an answer under oath, except from tho executor, and the same was brought to hear ing on the bill, answer and replication. No proofs were taken. The plaintiff, then-fore, to reco ver ngairst the Hanking Company, must denend on tl( jidaiistioiw to f;v fcuud U) its answer; uuU Uie J Company, to sustain its defence, cannot rely on any allegations, although responsive to the bill, wita 1 answer on oath was waived, and so not made evi dence. The affairs of the Company passed first into the hands of trustees, then of a receiver, and lastly to a special receiver. Each of these have answered separately. The trustees admit the will, that the testator owed at his decease upwards of $30,000; that Chas. H. Carroll in his individual capacity, and as each executor, executed a mortgage to the Bunking Company for $60,000 on the land in Rochester, and that in his individual capacity he executed another mortgage on the Livingston County land for the same debt, and that the lands in the Rochester mortgage were part of the real estate whereof the testator died seized, and that the lands in the Livingston County mortgage were part of the Hermitage trust as alleged in the bill, ana they set up as new matter, and as showing the title of C. H. Carroll to mortgage that he had elected to take the lands in the last mortgage in payment of the ten thousand dollars given to him under the will, find they also allege that the consideration for the mortgage was his subscription for $50,000 of the stock of the company, and that he applied the same, or the proceeds thereof to the ben efit of the estate. The judge then entered into an elaborate statement of the case and laid down the principles upon which the accounts were to be settled. He then ordered, that all the parties are to be allowed to give further proof as to the title to lands in Rochester and Living ston county. The executors to account on the prin ciples stated in the opinion. Order to be settled. Before Hon. Judge Morris. A husband's liability. Jan. 10. ? William A. Lorkwood vs. Benjamin Raynor The plaintiff in this case obtained a judg ment some time since, against the defendant, for $300, and the case now comes up on motion by plaintiff* s counsel, for a receiver to be appointed over the estate held by the defendant's wile, which counsel contend ed was liable for the debt. For the defendant it was insisted that the act of 1848, called " the married woman's act," stated that such property was not liable for the hnsband's debts. The property of the de fendant's wife , it appears, consisted of houses and land , which she inherited from her mother, who died in 1841. This, it iB alleged, gave the husband a life interest in the property. The ' questions thus pre sented are two ? finrt, that the act of 1848 was un constitutional, as diverting the title of legally ac quired property from the husband, and, therefore, retrospective. And, secondly, that with regard to the equity of the case, the debt was incurred for im provements in the house property of the wife of the defendant, the rent* of which she received. His Honor the Judge held that the defeudant had an interest in the property, which must be applied to the payment of the judgment. Superior Court? Special Term. Before Hon. Judge Duer. Jan. 7. ? Richard L. Allen vs. Antoine Longett, and Thomas Carnley, Sheriff. ? This is an old case, and the present action is on a motion to perpetuate an injunction. It appears that in August, 1848, Longett obtained an execution against A. B. Allen, one of the firm of A. B. Allen & Co., agricultural implement dealers, Water street, for the sum of about $3,500, he, Longett, asserting that previous to 1850 he was one of said firm. The matter was put in the hands of Sheriff Carnley, who proceeded to Bell A lien's interest in the firm; but previous to the sale affidavits were made, whereby an injunction was granted, restraining the sheriff from action in the S remises. Longett has given an indemnity bond to le sheriff of $8,000, and states his willingness to be satisfied with tlie proceeds of the sale of A. B. Allen's interest. It is alleged, on the part of the plaintiff, that the A. B. Allen aforesaid, was only a clerk in the establishment, at a salary of $1,200 per annum. Argument was heard from Messrs. N. B. Blunt and A. J. Vanderpoel, for Sheriff Carnley, I). T. Walden and P. McCarthy, for Longett, andH. E. D.ivies and D. B. Eaton, for plaintiff. Decision reserved. IN TUK MATTEll OF THE BROADWAY RAILROAD IN JUNCTION. Jan. 10. ? This matter came up this morning. The Broadway owners were represented by ex- Judge Branson, Messrs. John Van Buren and Henry Hilton, and the Corporation and Aldermen, bv Mr. Dillon, the Corporation Counsel, (excepting tliat two of the Aldermen were represented by H. H. Anderson.) The Court directed the following order to be en tered, for the purpose of having the questions heard by the whole court: ? The motion for attachment for contempt in disobeying their injunction in this action, and that such injunction will be made perpetual, coming on to he heard, axnl Vesxrs. fironeon, Van Buren and Hilton appearing on behalf of plaintiffs, and Mr. Villon :>n counsel for the defendants, Mr. Field and Mr. Anderson for the persons against whom the motions for attachment are made, it is ordered by the court that said motions for attachment be postponed until the 16th January iust., at 10 o'clock A. M. ; and it Is also ordered that copies of all affidavits to be read in opposition to the motions for attachment be served on the plaintiffs' attorneys herein, on or before January, 1 .'4 th inst. And it is further ordered that the motion to m*ke the injunction perpetual in this action, again*t the de fendant)!, and all questions thereon, be postponed until after the motions for attachment for contempt herein have been argued and decided, reserving to the defendants the right, when the motion for attachment has been heard, to move at that time that the motion to make the injunc tion perpetual be heard before the motions for attach ments shall be decided. [After the order was made, Mr. D. D. Field ap peared before the Judge, and had his name inserted as Counsel for the Aldermen in contempt.] Common Pleas.? Part Second. Before Hon. Judge Woodruff". Jan. 8. ? Josejth IV. Vale and others vs. Joint Rire. ? Action cm a Contract ? This was an action com menced in the year 1847, for the recovery of a differ ence in the price of about 4,000 bushels of oats, and their value at the time when they were to have been delivered. The price was 47 cents per bushel, and their value, when deliverable, t)5 cents per bushel. The defendant contended that he was not liable, be cause he did not contract to sell about 4 .000 bushels of oats, but only a lot of oats that one Boothe hnd, and that he had offered them to the plaintiff, who rejected them because there were not about 4,000 bushels. There have been two trials in this court before, at each of which a verdict was returned by the jury for the plaintiff's, and each of which was set aside, and a new trial ordered, bccause of errors of law, by the Court His Honor, the Judge, charged that if the evidence showed that the lot of oats bought by Rice of Boothe, was the lot which the parties referred to by their contract, (and he thought the evidence clearly tend ed to show that to have been the case,) then thejury hod nothing to do with any evidence of custom; and as the defeudant had offered to deliver that lot, no matter what its qnautity, whether 2,500, or 4,000, or 5,000 bushels, that their verdict should be for the de fendant. But that if the evidence did not ] rove that it was the Boothe lot, or any particular lot of oats, then they might resort to evidence of the customary meaning, by usage, of the words, "say about, ana mure or less," in determining what quantity of oats should be delivered under the contract. The counsel for the defendant, Mr. John Cochninc, excepted to this part of the charge, laying that the subject of the contract was the lot of oats, (and so the Court of A] peals had held,) and there being evidence desig nating what the lot was ? that the contract was no louge. uncertain ; that any custom applicable to the meaning of the words "more or less, and say about," woids which in no manner affected the subject of the contract, which is the lot of oats, cannot of a neces Htyconfiict with the evidence. Mr. J. W. Gerard, counsel for plaintiff, opposed this view of the contract, maintaining the position by his argument, to which the Court assented. The cubc is one of much inter est to the parties immediately concerned, and of very considerable importance to the mercantile commu nity, in view of what construction contracts of the description arc to receive in our courts of law. Thejury were kept out till midnight on Saturday, when, not agreeing, (standing five for the plaintiff, and seven for the defeudant,) they were discharged. Court of General Si'Hloim.

McNulty had taken the money, as he hasalv.a.v 'dtuitted, 1111"; lent a portion to one man, who'C nni ie he did not know, and some to another, with whom he was when arrested the next morning. Mi. Clarke was w t sure whether his desk had been locked or not, and the prisoner alleged that he intended to rc turn the money. Both sums above mentioned were returned t<> biru by the liorrowers, and lie had al-o io? i lved the balance from the prison er's friends. For the defence, evidence was given of his previous good < batnctei , and aNo that owiug to some injury received in boyhood, he was occasion ally unconscious of his wi acts. The jury, however, found him guilty of ti e otlbnce charged, but reconi I mendi tl him torrw-rey.

January 10 Stabbing The trial of William Bazelton, a Philadelphia " Killer," charged with stabbing Reuben F. Randolph in the abdomen, on the night of November 13th, was concluded at a late hour, when the jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was remanded for sentence. January 11. ? Dock Thief. ? H. H. Hilderbrand was convicted of walking away with a light wagon, valued at $80, the property of William Highet, of. 450 Broadwav, from the pier foot of Bivington street, where it hud been left for shipment on board the North Carolina. Officer Castine clearly proved the case, having found the wagon in the prisoner's pos session, at a late hour of the night of tne Kth Decem ber last. Sentence, two years imprisonment. Highway Robbery. ? Alexander McAfee, aged seventeen years, was charged with highway robbery of Edward McCormick, of 125th street and Fifth ave nue, in an alley-wuy in Thirteenth street, on the night of the 7th November last, and taking from his possession a pocket book containing tllO. Officer White proved that he arrested the prisoner, and partially corroborated the prosecutor. For the defence, evidence of good character was adduced, but was rebutted by officer Kinney, of the Eleventh ward, who stated the prisoner was a reputed thief, and a bad fellow. He had been before in custody on this charge, but was released in default of evi dence, and within a few days re-arrested for some similar offence. The jury, without leaving their seats, returned a verdict of guilty, and he was sen tenced to ten years imprisonment. On sentence being pronounced, quite a sensation was treated by the lamentation of the unfortunate aged parents of the prisoner, who were both present, and at their solicitation they were allowed to accom pany him to his cell in the prison. Another Robbery by a Fellow Boarder. ? Freder ick Zaliu was convicted of stealing a gold watch and chain from Frederick Schmidt, with whom he board ed at No. 189 Rivington street, on the 14th of De cember last, by breaking open his trunk and ab stracting them, together with some money. He waa found shortly afterwards, and the watch and chain recovered, but not the money. Verdict guilty; sen tence two years imprisonment. Bu rglary. ? Cha rles (Jegnes^a young German, was indicted for this ofienca in the third degree, in breaking into the store of Thomas Martin, 74 Orange street, and stealing a box of candles and a few other paltry articles. He was convicted, and sentenced to the State prison for two years. A Short Case James Short, a short boy, was charged with assaulting officer K inner, of the Third ward, a short time ago while in discharge of hi* du ty, &.c. It appeared the prosecutor had, on the 21st September last, gone to the prisoner's employers on some matter of business, and that while there the prisoner had made an attempt to strike liun. No ac tual assault was committed and the jury immediate ly acquitted the accused. Burglary.? John H. Thompson (colored) and Pa trick McDermott, were tried for burglary at the store of John E. Nouns, clothier, No. 8 South street, on the Dth December last, and stealing a dozen pair of pantaloons, value $25. The property was found in the possession of Thompson on the same night, and lie was accordingly convicted, and sentenced to two yesirs imprisonment. The prisoner McDerinot waa acquitted and discharged. Charge of Assault, with Intent to Kill ? John Dunlap was indicted for assault and battery, with intent to kill .lohn Hughan, carpenter. 185 Sixteenth street, on New Year's eve, by stabbing him in the arm. The prisoner was a shoemaker, and the street row occurred just opposite his own dwelling; aud the knife, which was produced, was one such .is ordi narily is used in liis trade. The jury returned, after a few minutes absence, with a verdict ot' assault aud battery only. The prisoner was remanded for sen tence. Adjourned till Wednesday morning. Police Intelligence. Arrest of Two Shoplifters.? About 11 o'clock on Monday morning, quite' a rush of people hurried into the Police Court, at the Tombs, m consequence of Officer Van Winkle, of the Third ward, having in cus tody two young men of genteel appearance, named EdwardL.Bro.vn and George H. Horton, charged with stealing 10 dozen oi gold linger rings, valued at $it0, the property of E. J. Richards, jeweller, 170 Broad way. It seems that the accused parties went into the store of Jlr. Richards, and wished to see e jme articles of jewelry, to purchase. The articles were shown to them, and while Horton engaged the salesman in conversation, Brown secreted the 10 dozen gold rings about his person. The property was missed before the rogues left the store, and suspicion resting on Brown, Sir. Richards stopped both from leaving the store, and sent for the aid of the police, and when the officer came the rings were found on the person of Brown. The officer then conveyed both parties to the Tombs ; and Justice Osborne, on the facts pre sented by Mr. Richards, committed them both to prison for U ial, on a charge of grand larceny. Is Killing a Horse Manslaughter? ? On Monday, Officer M'Curtby, of the Nineteenth ward, arrested a man named Samuel Whitman, on a charge of cruelly beating a stage horse belonging to Mr. Dingeldinc, proprietor of one of the Third avenue line of stages. It seems that Whitman beat the horse with an iron shod whippletree, and the last blow he felled the poor animal to the ground, which killed him. The accused was conveyed before Justice M'Grath, who held him to bail to answer the charge. A Violent Assault oil a Female. ? Yesterday morning oflirers Horton anil Make took into custody a man, named (ieorge Stooe, keeper of a public house, known as the ' Mistletoe Bough," situated at No. 517 Pearl street, on a charge of committing an outrageous assault on the per son of Unry Elizabeth Hulse, during the night previous, at the premises above named. Tlio complainant, when brought before Justice Osborn, made the following state ment: ? She jffiys she is from Patchogue, Long Island, where she was married to Fjios Hulse. She is now twenty four yen rs of age, and lias been the mother of Ave chil dren. For some time past she lias been living out at service, in New Haven, Connecticut; and on Monday evening she came from New Haven, for the purpose of getting employment In this city. At the depot, in Cannl street two young men informed her'that they would take her to a respectable place to board, and accordingly took her to the Mistletoe Rough, in Pearl street, where she was introduced to Stone, tlie proprietor of the house, and he, about 10 o'clock tluit night, conveycd her to a sleeping apartment, in the rear of tlio same build ing, when he locked the door and violated her person. She endeavored to make an alarm, but ho placed his hand over her mouth, which prevented her from so doing. In this room the complainant was kept In -teni'd in durij.,'; the night, and at daylight on making a noise, a woman cane and let her out." She then went into the street, and some citizens found her shedding tears, and directed ihe attention of the police, who, on hearing her story, arrested Stone, whom the woman iden tified as the person who committed the outrage as above described. On the sworn testimony of the woman, Stone was committed by the magistrate for a further exami nation, and the complainant was also committed as a witncM. The City Post Oflirc.

Tctbsday, Jan 11?6 P. M. Tiiorc does not appear to be the slightest falling off in the demand for stocks, or any depreciation in prieeH or any importance. Occasionally some fancy, after having been considerably inflated, will react a frac tion or so; but as a general thing, prices have for Bome time part been well sustained. Operators in the street are looking for even greater activity; and as money is daily getting cheaper and more abun dant, there 13 certainly foundation for their anticipa tions. The exportation of specie has nearly ceased while the importations are likely to be larger than ever. From California the receipts will, without doubt, be much greater in 1853 than they were in 1C52, while there arc no indications of any increase in the shipments. An accumulation for live or nix month, at the rate of five or six millions of dollars per month, would have an immense influenoe upon prices, and create an active sjieculative movement in almost every species of property. Nearly every year since the discovery of gold in California, the shipmenta from this port to foreign countries have been quite large. In 1848 the aggregate was 111,034,786; in 1819, $4,803,450; 1850, $9,952,948 1851, $43,743,209, and in 1852, $25,096,255, making * ^ $94,630,648 in Bix years, averaging $15,771,775 each year. When it is considered that the early importations from California were quite limited, it will be seen that a very large per cent of the receipt* of California gold has passed through our hands into those of foreigners. The effect of this has not thus fur been of an unfa vorable character. We have added more or less each year to the metallic currency of the country, and our paper currency remains upon as good and firm a basis as at any previous period. We have therefore no complaint to make? nothing to find fault with. The prospect is encoura ging for a greater aug mentation of metallic wealth this year than we have yet experienced, and the probability is, that instead of the expansion in paper credits increasing in a greater ratio as speculations progress and enterprises become developed, the supply of specie for a basis will grow more rapidly, and that at the end of ano ther twelve-month we shall rest upon a more substan tial foundation thun at this moment. In January, 1852, the exportations of specie amounted to $2,868, Dj8. finis tur in the month, this year, the exports have been less than one hundred thousand dollars, and no shipments of nny importance are, we believe, in con templation. Last year, at this time, sterling ex change ruled between ten and a half and eleven per cent. Now it is below ten per cent, and likely to go Bl ill lower. This is a very fa vorable feature, indica tive of great abundance of money, and a steady im provement in the value of the circulating medium of the country at large. It is our impression that the metallic currency of the United States at the close of the present year, will be at least thirty millions of dollars greater than at this moment. Whether the issues of payer credits by the banks will continue at the rate realized within the past year or two, depends a great deal upon the contidencc of the public. The variations in the stock market at the firs board, to day, have been as follows Nicaragua Transit declined 4 per cent; Cumberland Coal Co., J; Long Island, Stonington, \\ Reading Railroadj I, Panama Railroad, 1.

The tonnage from the three great regions, in 1851, exceeded that of the previous year by 1,001,051 tons; while in 1852 the increase hao been but 544,815 tons. The business of the year has realized a profit of nine pi r cent on the common and preferred stock as it stood at the date of the last report, after payment of the interest upon the debt. Of the sum ho realized. $100,000 ha? been invested as usual in the sinking funds, leaving cash dividends of seven per cents for the preferred and ?>x per cent lor the common stock, which have been duly declared. The profits on the preferred and common stock have ave raged, fur the lust three y< ars, more than 84 per cent. The conversion of bonds into stock was much larger than was anticipated, having reached at the closing of the. books, $ i,Us, ooo. Had this conver sion not taken place, the stock distribution would have equalled about eleven per cent for the common and thice per cent for the prcfe red. The renewal fund, which showed a debi' at the last annual .state incut of$lH,71G, now shows a credit balance of #22, 4*7 10. During the yenr the company have made additional ; urcha?cs of real estate for the accommo dation of their passenger and merchandise trains at Broad and Willow streets, and now own nearly the entire square bounded by Ilioud. Willow, 'Cuilowhill and Thiitcenth streets. and have also secured 1,260 feet of river front, adjoining their present property at Richmond. The charge for transporting coal has averaged but 7 VMyytli CffiM m WG1. puling th largest portion of the shipping season, the rates were much higher than those of the same period in tho previous year, when, as it will be recollected .great competition was maintained. During the last winter however, the charges were twenty cent* per ton lese than for the like period and early spriuR of the pre vious year. The present rates, which will be main tained during the winter, are twenty cent* more than those of last year; and it is estimated that an increased profit of at least $100,000 will thua be obtained. The cost of transportation, as compared with that of the previous year, exhibits the following result# via ' On coal, 16-100 cents less per ton. " Merchandise, 9 62-100 do. more per ton " ra^gera, 18 24-100 do. mure for each through The cost of hauling coal, including the repairs or machinery, has been diminished 3 18-100 cents per ton, while the expenditures oa the roadway have in creased 141,603 44-100, leas than two cents for each ton transported. This haa been caused chiefly b* unusual expenditures on the wharves at Richmond, for dredging the docks, Ac., and for an nnoaoallj large number of sills used, it being the eighth year since the second track was laid. Thomas Morton, John Stanton, and John L. Gn tacap were to-day elected trustees of the St. Law rence Lead Mining Company, for the ensning year. This movement must have a very favorable influence upon the market value of the stock. The stock holders will now learn the actual condition of the company's affairs, and may rest satisfied that the working of the mines will be upon the most econo mical, scientific system, and that if there is any actual value in the property, it will be speedily deve loped. Mr. Morton is a practical mechanic and ma nufacturer, of long experience, great detenainatian of purpose, high integrity of oharacter and Indomi table perseverance. Mr. Stanton is a practical miner, and has devoted full thirty years to mining operations in England. lie is probably one of the best mining engineers in the country, and will for a time devote all his energies to the arrangement of the aflhirs of the St Lawrence Lead Company. It is our belief that the election of Mr. Morton and Mr. Stanton haa more than doubled the intrinsic value of the stock of this company, that it will place the stock at once among the highest on the bankers' books, and be sought after by those who sold out during the administration of the old board of trustees. The public had no faith in the old management, and the stock has for a long lime been much depressed. The first act of the new board will be a personal examina tion of the company's property in St. Lawrenoe county. An investigation of it* finances will follow, when a repeat will be made to the stockholders of the actual state of things. There is no use in our anticipating the nature of that report, but those in terested may rest assured that, whatever its com plexion may be, it will be entitled to their entire con fidence. We have heretofore said a great deal about this St. Lawrence Mining Company, and have fre quently condemned the policy pursued in its man agement. Our object ever has been to preserve tho mining interest of the country generally from being injured by scheming speculators, who looked mora to the market value of a stock than to the develope ment of the resources of the toine. Most rapid pro gress has been made in building up the business of mining, public confidence has been, in a great mea sure, reinstated, and any and every set of men whose acts, either from ignorance, or any other cause, are calculated to injure or destroy this growing feeling in the community, should be at once condemned, and such measures immediately adopted as will take away their power to do barm. Losses arising from one badly managed mining com pany have a tendency to prejudice the sufferers against all such investments, and they will, perhaps, never touch anything of the kind again. Well man aged, there probably is nothing that pays such high dividends as mining stocks. In Great Britain the?e are great favorites, and will continue so. There ia no reason why they Should not be in this country. , Stock Excluuigt. ?300000 U S fi's '66 . . . . lit) ? 75 l'arker Ooel Co . bflO 74 1000 N Y State rt's '60.116 50 do . . b60 76 8000 Ohio C'h '60 . . s3 110 100 Pheoix llinCo. ,b3 35 2000 Kentucky C's.... 109 % 60 do blft 36 14000 Ind State 6's.... 102 150 do bl6 35'/ 6000 Virginia 6'm 110 150 do 351/ IOOOO Eric Inc lids t>60 103 100 do . *00 34 10000 E Con IkT 71 1>G0 103 200 do.'. . . . . ib30 35 >? 4000 do 101! ^ 60 Panama RR 141 '* 2000 G k C 7 p c Cds . . 09 100 Ilud Riv RR. . . ,?3 7?i/ 10 nils I tank of N Y. .126 100 do b?0 * - 10 Hank Commerce. .108 60 Eric RR "JS! 30 Chatham Bank.... 100* 17 <? ...WO 92% 10 Metropolitan Ilk.. 108 % ft?' 100 Morris Canal..
