Wall Stiikkt. 1 Sex oat, Nov. 10, 1876, ( A review of the jiasl week contemplates as meatiro an array of evouis us the optra boutfe Duchess of Hoi diors when she inspects her graud army. Tho busi oeavu scarcely at any time lifted abovo tbo medi ocrity of a broker's market, though stirring circum stance! exUted both at home and across tbe seas that ordinarily would havo crouted a wblrl of speculation. Though the two ends of the week preseut a* a whole nearly similar quotations, aud lluctuations havo boen or a modest description tho markot has been feverish aud impressiblo. Why this sensitiveness has not been turned to ac count results from the lacl that operators havo hold bark from active participation under tho doubt and un certainty whictt'it is lelt the political situation lias in duced. The feeling has rather beeu to wash ono's hands of speculative ventures lor tbe time boiug and wait tho shaping ol eveuts. This idea has taken practical form iu an extonsivo closing up of accounts, notably in large purchases ol Lake Shore to covor shorts aud equally largo sales of Westorn L'nlon lor tbe ??ug account Al though the Europenn newt comes quite as warlike as jt did some woeks since, when gold and stock* re sponded with a sharp advauoo, now no appreciable oiled is noted, and the course ot prices, if anytning, has beeu tho othor way. Tho summing up ol the matter, then. appears to be tbat the Presideutlal muddle has checked speculation without disturbing prices. Thore havo been one' or two episodes, however, which created n temporary breexo. causing a mild ex citement and blowing down some ol tho dead branches from tho stock list. Among this dead wood tho rot tenost of all Is found in tho Ohio aud Missis slpp! couoern, which, losing leuf und sap frqtn season to season, has at last lallen to the earth of bankruptcy and hollow truuk. It is now left to the mercies of thoso gentle woodmen, the receivers, to "spare the troe" as mu?h as possible and to their onergies to convert the usoloss timber into such shape as will benefit stockholders. Tho St. Paul properties havo beon tho other decidedly weak spot in tho market, rendered so by tho coutinuod re ports or decreasing earnings which have nearly ob literated the gains made during tho first months of tho your. A drive at the Northwcsioins, un ter the cry of tbolr beiug partieept eriminis with tho St. Pauls, re sumed in a /Iosco, tne slock quietly rocovoring when It bccamo known lhat the condltiou of tho road was a satisfactory one. lteports uulavornble to tho financial status ot the coal stocks were used to depress them at ono time, hut tbo bait attracted but low bites, and these only rrom the pudgoons or the room. Thero Is but little prospect ol the market waking up from its present somnoleuco and taking nn active courso either up or dewn until tbo political nightmare has been shaken off. Mean time tlio largo operators prorer to stand alool as lookers on, or to touch things lightly at the best, while tho market is left to the 'prentice hand ol tho llllpu tlun speculators, whose Joys and sorrows depend upon the galu or loss ol an eighth.

At the last general meeting of meinbors of ?ho American Mining Hoard It wn dotormmed to change its name to "The American Mining and Slock Ex change," this step being preliminary to the call of any or all ol the stocks now dealt in at the Now York Stock Exchange.

There being so few soldiers at tbo post It was nocos-ary that every man, luclutiiug tho nou-commissioned oillcer, should take his daily turn at sentry and guard duty, Tho sentry on duty was required to mako a lour of tho island ?Very two hours, and It ws? during this tour that the fire was discovered, fortunately at the time tho wind was almost due north, aud owing to that fact tiiouscapc of some of the otber buildings may bo attributed.

Tho last time which the island was brought promt noutly nefore the public was July 14, 1800. On that d*y, on Its shore, but fifty feet from the water, was buug Albert H. Hicks, the pirate, in the preseucc ol' lu.OuO people. Since that time tho Island has been used for its legitimate purpose, unknown, perhaps, to thousaads In tills city.

"Tho dead but aceptred sovereigns who still rule oar spirits from tticlr urns" may possibly coino into fashion once again. cosmetically tba urn Is moro do slralilo tban that mortuary depository which uuder lakers are plcused to call a "coskot," but winch in times ol greater simplicity and loss refinement usod to j be known as u coffln. Nowadays it narrows itsolf I down to a quostion of putrefaction or Incandescence, nnd you are left to choose whoihor you will bo toasted, after tliu lastilon of Sardanapalus, or whether you will oven submit your frail body to "a convocation ot politic worms." Antiquity has a good deal to urgo in favor of boing burlod, but It geoms that prejudice and custom aro rather disposed to recognise a different form of sepulture. The late Baron du Palm, however, was one of those gentlemen who despised custom and prejudice, aLd accordingly be decided that bu should bo burned. Ue whs a favorer of antiquity and its usages, and be was contented to be reduced to a hand lul ol Illustrious ashed. Neither was ho apprehensive ol any difficulty ingathering him together on tho Day of Judgment. The resurrection of tho body did Dot stand in his waf and whether be did or did not so crctl.v desire to evade tbc great Unal settlement It is certain that bo hold tha opinion that ho was as likely to hear Ibo Arcbangol'a trumpet after cremation us alter tho ordinary form of burial His choice of cremation cannot, thereloro, bo construed into an endeavor to shirk his ultimate responsibility. Huron de Palm Is at all events to be burued in accord ance with his desires, nnd ll bis immortal part can tan* any cognizance of tho poor body with which it was onoe allied the sootlilug knowledge will come to it that the interests of science aro bomg subserved. Colouel H. fS. Olcott, wbu Is the president of the Tbcosophlcal Society, ol wbich ttie lute Huron de Pal in was a meiiitier, was good enough to comtnunicule to a Hkiialii representative some of his views ou thusub i jecl ol the c.omiug cremation. Mo regards the affair us i u sciuutiiic experiment, and divorces it altogotoer from | any roligioua consideration. Tho arrangements, bo I suid, w sre all compline, but the difficulty aud trouble bud oeeu ai>uiid?nt. lie had boon greatly disappointed by tba delay unich had occurred. A littlu questioning on this point elicltcd the Infor mation that It wim intended tohuve exhibited the Illus trious ushea ol the illustrious Ueail at the Ceutenulnl Kxhibitloii, but the vleiay iu tho matter of cremation bud spoiled the scheme and must doubtless have greatly agitated the spirit of tun deceased biron. Had the manor coino to pass he would liave been oo an equality with a young lady who had been burued 'jp at Vienna and who was exhibited in almost molecular form at I'hiludelphliL "Uid tho subject of cremation receivo much atten tion in Kuropar" was queried by tho IIkiiai.ii repre sentative, to which Colouel Olcott responded that the Vicuna cremation referred to had engaged the speclrl attention ol tha Italian cheiuisu, 1'oill and Uenuulti. Those wera gentlemeu, ho said, who had Interested themselves a groat desl In the burning ol dead bodies, bad invented furnacos, made practical experiments, and >o lorih. l)r. seiioana, a <?erman engineer, had ?Iso-itivonted a furnace wnieh seemed to suit all pur poses, and in which a person could be roduced to dust comfortably aod expeditiously and without any special oflence to tho uouhbomood. It appears that Dr. Metuiaus In also the inventor of a (urnnce lor re ducing ores, but bb la versatile und philunthropiu and would do as ratirb lor human boings as lor the insp preciative metals that are "dntged out ot the bowels of tba harmless earth.'' Tho cause ot tho daisy in hum* ing up the Huron was gontly Muted it, and upon this point Colonel Olcott gnve soma inlormatlon which contalucd a sugges tion ol unwortbv economy. "A merhamcal difficulty was tha occaaiou or the delay;" ??there was some trouble In procuring an eflective apparatus at a low cost." It seemed to the reporter that that ditllculty atooJ In tho way In a great many cases bar ing no relation to sepulchral furnaces, nut be did not express his opinion but merely propounded the ques tion whethor this crem ation was undertaken by Colonel Olcott it* executor ol the Huron de Palmf '?I'nrtly," said Colonel Olcoll, "The Huron exprossad a wish that hi* body sliouid be burned, and as his ex ecutor, together with Mr Henry J. Newton, I am coin pa led to aeo that his winhcff are properly carried out." (he reporter respected the s.icredoess of his trust, nnd asked tf tho fheoaopbical Society hsd anything to do with the matter. "As a aociety," Coionol Olcott answered, "nothing.
