Labcent or x Horse anp Buggy. —James Lewie, was, on Saturday, bronglit before the Police Court, charged with the larceny of a horse and buggy, the property of Wm, Egan. It appears that, seeing the animal fastened in front of McCormick’s Block, on Dearborn street, early in the evening of Friday, Lewis, being a soldier, captured the property and drove o2 while the owner was attending to some business near by. The consequent search resulted in Mr. Egan's recognizing his horse and vehicle, late the same night, near Clich’s HoteL Justice Davis held Lewis, in default of SBOO, for trial at the Recorder's Court. pT Sometime last summer ■when the Post Office Land Warrant case against Wheeler, Parker and Pease, came up for hearing in one of the city courts, it was erroneously stated by the reporter who prepared the item for the Tribune, that Mr. Samuel W. Pease had been convicted of the offence, which was a mistake —it being Parker that was found guilty and sentenced to the State Prison, and not Pease. When Pease’s case came upfortrial,last week, the State’s Attorney entered a net. pro*, to the indictment against him and the Court dis missed the case. We make this correction and explanation for the purpose of setting ilr. Pease right before the public. “ A House, a, House,” etc.— John S. Rarer, whose fame as a subduer of the most vicious and ugly specimens of horseflesh that can be produced, is world-wide, has arrived In this city, and, we are informed, will give a sample of his skill at Bryan Hall, off Saturday even ing next. The only request that he makes on this occasion is that he may be favored with with the ugliest specimens of the horse spe cies lobe found in the city, with the guaranty that they JEjll leave Bryan Hall well-behaved and as docSH* as kittens, in connection with his feats of skill in this direction. Prof Rarey will deliver, irun lecture, replete with in formation upon and all-im portant topic. The me|||inuotmccmcnt will suffice to crowd Biynn Haw to overflowing. Life Operations.—-Mes^£<^Qtt& BojSiC Agents for the Kew York pany, are being quite successfW ef forts to direct public attention to the ten year non-forfdtdble feature of this office’s policies. A party insuring to-day for $5,000, If he die to morrow, the $5,000, immediately becomes a claim, and if he lives ten years, and makes ten annual payments, his policy is paid up; noth ing more to pay, and still his dividends con tinue, making his life policy a source of in, come to him while living. The principle ar gument of weight offered against life Insurance is, that a party might pay in for a number of years, and then, by inadvertence, inability, etc., not be able to continue paying, and then lose all he had paid. The 2fao Tork Life In surance Company has done much to obviate this objection by their ten year plan and non- foifeibcrc. A party, by tills table, cannot for feit what has been paid in. Thus, if one in suring by this plan for $5,000, discontinues af ter the second year, the company will give hi™ a paid ap policy, according to the number of years paid inVviz;— 2d year, two-tenths, "of amount-insured,,..

When the ten years hare expired and men have policies in their pockets upon which there is nothing to pay, but on the contrary if they live to the age of 90 produces them an annuity, they will be found the best of adver tisements and the staunchest friends of the Company. CIGSE OF THE RECORDER’S COURT. SIMESCE OF THE PRISONERS. CONFESSION OF C. C. FLINT. Saturday momiug, at tea o'clock, the pris oners convicted during the late term of the Recorder's Court were brought up for sen tence, to the number of twenty-five. The scone was an unusually animated one, even for this Court, where Us frequent recurrence oft-times renders it tedious. The room was crowded with an Immense throng of specta tors. Attorneys of the criminal practice stood jammed in orderly rank and file. The Sheriff, bis posse of deputies, and a deputation of the municipal detectives were in their appro priate places; the prisoners,Jclcanly and well dressed, sat in a compact mass in the bos. The first prisoner called was Elizabeth Green, a colored woman, found guilty of the larceny of a set of furs valued at one dollar. She was sentenced to the county jail for twen ty days and went below. Wm. Donovan was called. The Court rc . marked: “'WilliamDonovan, youpleadguiity to the charge of stealing a span of horses val ued at S3OO, and I do not see a palliating cir cu: instance in the case. I therefore sentence yon to the State Penitentiary for two years at hard labor, the sentence to be carried into ef fect within ten days from the date of the pres ent adjournment of this Court.” John Moore was then arraigned and the Court addressed bitn; “John, it seems to me you hare been here before.” “Yes, your Honor, I have, and yon let me off’.” “ Well, you -were then cleared by your hon est face. That cannot avail yon now. The jury has fixed yon this time. You are guilty of the larceny of two coats and a hat, and will go to Joliet one year.” George Henry, larceny of a piece of flannel. Sentence, one year at hard labor. The prison er jocularly remarked that he would be able to stand it with the best, and left the presence with a swagger that boded no good. Gustave Miller, stealing a case of surgical implements worth SB.OO He could not speak English, was a stranger in the city and said he had a family in Europe. One year at Joliet with hard labor. Joseph Stange, assault with a deadly wea pon. A motion for a new trial was overruled, by the Court. Eight citizens were allowed to enter and make oath to the general good char acter of the prisoner at the bar. The Recorder heard It and then said : “You undoubtedly inflicted the wound which has brought you Lere,ina fit of passion, hut all I can say is, you have reason to be thankful that the blow did not kill your vic tim. In view of the fact that you have shown j that you have a generous heart, in providing j for the wounds given, as well as paying the ! expenses of the prosecuting witness, who was unable to do so, i shall make your punishment very light, hoping that you will learn to gov ern your temper. You will pay a fine of SSO, and be confined in the county jail ten days.” Martin Dunn and James Peyton, robbery of a watch and ring valued at $l4O. The Court said, hi this case, that the prisoners had been indicted and found guilty of a most wicked crime—robbery. There was no doubt of their guilt. He sentenced them, in accordance with the finding of the jury,to four years each in the SI :ate Prison, and remarked that had he the fixing of the time, they should go for a longer term. Be also recommended them vrhen their sentence had expired to endeavor to lead a different life. Nicholas Newman, Michael Higgins and Dennis Stein, three boys. Two indictments. Larceny of four coate. Sent to the Reform School. James McDcnuot Larceny of twenty-eight dollars in money. One year at hard labor. George Lamphicr, colored. Larceny of a coat valued at four dollars. Ten days in the county JaiL Wiley Yan Duzer. Passing counterfeit money, (three indictments). Recorder. “ The motion for a new trial in this case is overruled. I hardly know what to say to you. Ton are a smart boy—and should do well, but I fear, from the testimony, that you hare been schooled in crime. Your offence, however, is not equal to that of your mother, who, to clear you, seems to me to have come here and committed a deliberate perjury. This convinces me that your parents have early taught you wickedness and wrong, and have continued to sustain you in evil do ing. When you return, do try and get a liv ing honestly. Ton are sentenced to impris onment for one year at hard labor.” THE CASE OE C. C. FLINT. C. C. Flint was next arraigned. He ap peared pale and care-worn. When asked if he had any remarks to make before the sen tence of the Court was pronounced upon him, on a sustained charge of obtaining money on false pretences, Mr. Flint said, in substance: “ May it please the Court, I wish to have the Prosecuting Attorney make an explana tion in regard to the charge of forgery, which was at one time preferred against me. I wish him to state that these charges could not be sustained against me. lam not guilty of the crime.” Both the Recorder and the Prosecuting At torney made an explanation, setting forth that the alleged forgeries of Mr. Flint, they had been convinced, by letters from Erastus Flint, of Grceneaslle, Indiana, upon whom the paper bad been drawn, were not to be classed as forgeries, the prisoner having the full authority of this gentleman to draw drafts upon him. There was no reason to doubt the statements made that he was so empowered. They had no idea that the indictment for forgery could be sustained against Mr. Flint. The prisoner was then proceeding to attack certain newspapers for misstatements of his case, when the Recorder interrupted Mm and advised him not to enter into a dissertation upon newspapers. The prisoner then pro ceeded : U I bare not, at any time since my arrest, had a desire to fight against law and justice. How ever guiltless I am of certain of the charges made against me, I could not but confess that I had done wrong. It is my hope and desire to be enabled ere long to repay all to whom I am indebted in any sum, and had I not held to promises made to me, which proved untrue, I should not have had the load upon me I now bear. But I wish to correct one impression which seems to pre vail as to the extent of the frauds they say I have committed. The sum has been ‘set as high as $17,000. My whole indebtedness does not amount to SI,OOO. Ido not need to enter into a relation of details, but this is the sum and substance. I should state also that the money 1 have received has not, as has been stated by some, been expended in extrava gance and profligacy. On the contrary, all has gone toward the care and education of my children and the inevitable expenses of my family. The debt has been accumula ting for the past year and a halt I informed my' employer, who was my only confidant, some two years ago, thinking that be might have relieved me without damage to himself I do not now blame him that he did not do so. I am ready to suffer the penalty you may think best to impose.*’ In answer to questions from tbe Recorder, the prisoner said that he had been employed in the Ikmocrat office by John Wentworth for three years, and that for two years of the time l»is employer had known of his pecuniary dif ficulties. The Court then addressed the prisoner as follows: “Ton are a young man of more than ordi nary talent and ability. Those who have la- ! bored side by side with you, and had an oppor tunity to become acquainted with your capa- i bilitics, are among the first to concede this to- you. But lam sony to say that you are not the first, nor the second, nor the third per son who has graduated from whence you come within the past three years, to the State Peni tentiary. I suppose yon thought that you were but using the ill-gotten gains ofyoursu- Eerior and your employer. You might, per aps, have considered also that very soon you would follow those who had gone before you. There is no estimating the power of a strong mind and will, inaperson who employs others, over weaker minds, forgoodoreviL If, during the time you were with this man, he knew you were obtaining this money for ; i yonr support, this hid also its weight in your 1 inlnd.

Steward and Charles J. Teuton. Lar ceny of a watch and money, two indictments. Two years at hard labor. . Pat. Lawler, larceny pf a coat valued at four dollars. ' , Thls man was auuember of the Irish Brigade, andYought nobly at Lexington. The Court gave him - county jail, and.iufonaed the prisoner that at the expira tion of that time hla old Captain would 'be wantinghimintbe rahks again. “An' Pm ready, ycr honor?’ was his. response. Dennis Kehoe, larceny of clothes. The Court said to this prisoner: “ Tou are charg ed with the meanest kind of stealing—taking clothes from a washerwoman. The other day we had a man up, here for endeavoring to cheat a woman out of her pay for washing, but you take the clothing itself Now, do not let me hear of yonr finding any more clothes mysteriously thrown into year back yard. I sentence you to fifteen days In the county jail.” Patrick Mulconly, burglary. Two indict -mcnts. The verdict of the jury being one year in the penitentiary, he was thus sentenced.

One day In the county jail, Patrick Daley, larceny of money—soo. Ver dict of jury, one year and a half tc hard labor. Sentence the same. Ned Allen, assault with a deadly weapon. Three mouths in the city Bridewell. Sr. Holland’s lecture. The lecture of Dr. Holland on Saturday evening at Bryan Hall, before the Young Men's Association, being the first regular address of the season, was a fine effort, and was listened to by a large and appreciative audience. The subject, “WorkingandShirking,” was handled by the speaker with his accustomed vigor of thought and elegance of diction. He said the disposition to shirk was consti tutional with the human race. The first rc- corded act of the primal pair was one of shirk ing. Adam tried to throw the blame upon his wife, and his wife upon the serpent. An at tempt to shirk moral responsibility, from that day to this, has been a marked trait of their descendants. There is a habit in this country of shirking from hardlabor. Yery fewmengo straight through life without stepping aside for sught obstacles. Essential things arc made free by nature. Beyond this we must pay a price. A necklace of diamonds will cost ten thousand dollars, be cause it costs so much labor, and for the same reason, an ounce of gold Is worth a ton of iron. In the audience before him he saw silks from China, cloths from England, jewelry from France, and gloves from the foot of the Pyre nees All this wealth cost somebody some thing. The great strife of the world is to see how much of this work can be done with little labor. The shirks are great curses. They aid in giving false ideas of respectability to society. The stock exchange ia the Paradise of Shirks. A dollar was never there. The speaker could see no distinction between a professional gambler in stocks and any other professional gambler. 11 Sin hringeth forth death,” but shirking, in its fullest develop ment, hringeth forth tiic Stock Excliixngc.Think of the false standard it seta before the country —think of the fluctuations set forth there, while the value ot the stock never varies. A change of administration brings out the shirks in force. Once in four years they swarm forth like bees. A hundred thousand men, each with his three clean siiirts, a borrowed suit of clothes aud a carpet sack, start on a pilgrimage to the Mecca, Washington, after a clerkship, a consulate, or some other po sition where the pay is large and labor light. Wc hare the shirk m the army too. Hero he is full of patriotism. He gives our soldiers clothes of shoddy, robs them of their rations, and is one of the most consummate’ rascals of the world. The nation has shirked great responsibili ties. We have hastened and have worked only to get rich. In each pursuit in commercial and professional life there is a lack of prepara tion. Lawyers are made in a day; doctors there are as innocent of science as they were when they were born. Long periods of train ing for professions, and apprenticeship to the trades, are almost unknown. The saying, “The world owes me a living,” is fallacious. Hen say it who dress at the expense of their tailors. The feet is, the world owes them nothing but a pretty rough sort of a coffin, and a piece of ground, that could be used for no other purpose, to put them in. The world owes a living only to the helpless—to children, to the sick, and to the aged. There are shirks in social life also. Mem bers of churches shirk responsibilities npou their ministers, supposing, perhaps, that the burdens of the parish, divided up oniony the minister and the deacons, will yield a large dividend. The speaker then described what “First Society” might he supposed to consist of. He would begin with theß’s. It was blood, breeding, brams and bullion. They mingle much according to circumstances. 'ln towns where there is a large number of old residents, blood takes the precedence. lu others, where there is not much wealth, breeding ranks first; where there is neither blood, breeding nor brains, wealth takes the lead. What will you give to be admitted? You must have one or ic other of these requisites. Have you these tilings, or do you wish to become one of the pensioners or “ bores V” There is no country where polities are so badly shirked as in America. Whatever is wrong in American politics, the good men arc responsible for, and this is the only rea son why bad men rule. They neglect to visit the polls because the politics have got so cor rupt, Of all the shirts and sneaks which the soil of America produces, these are the worst. The speaker spoke of the present war as a war for a great cause, and as a cure for all these evils. Along peace .is productive of shirks, a breeding pen of cowards. Peace is very well for angels, but, for men, with all the imperfections of humanity, peace may be a curse very much greater than war. The emo tions that thrilled the American heart at the time ofthcassaultuponthcNation’sflagatFort Sumter, were worth all others that have been experienced at any pecuniary gains. It burst upon the world like the comet that followed it. Men saw it stream up though sky and the wondered at the source from whence it sprang. They learned that there was something they loved better than money. Now' half a million have gone out to maintain that beloved’nation ality. The war remedy is u radical one, and the speaker had no more doubt of its curative Sowers than that it was sent for the purpose y a beniliccnt Providence, whatever the re sult may be. The above is but a brief abstract of the lec ture, and, of course, can only serve to bring out the heads of the subject. On the “Shirks and Sneaks ” as in all matters appertaining to social and vital economy, Dr. Holland has proved a vigilant character student and posses ses what so many lack, the gift of clothing the result of his studies in pure and appropriate diction. If the Young Men’s Association arc as successful in the remainder of their lectur ers, the course will be one of the happiest fea tures of the season. Fatal Affray in the 'West Division. The Coroner held an inquest Saturday upon the body of one John Dalton* a drayman, who lived upon Leavitt street, in the West Divi sion, and who came to his death in the fol lowing manner; On the 14th of November 1 last, Dalton was lured by one Benedict, to dray a load of port, in barrels, from the pro vision store of Louis Richberg, oa Milwaukee ! Avenue, to Cowles’s dock. Upon his arrival at the store, the barrels were not ready to load and being in great haste, he rather rough ly expressed to Richberg his intention of not waiting a great while. Richberg, in turn, made use of some hasty language and the two soon commenced exchanging epithets which finally culminated in a quarrel. During its progress, Richberg seized a whipstock be longing to another drayman and, according to the testimony of some of the witnesses, struck Dalton upon the head with it, breaking it by the force of his blow. Enraged at the blow, Dalton came towards him, when he thrust the jagged piece, he still held in Ids hand, Into his eye, inflicting a small punctured wound, which bled copiously. At this, Dalton de sisted, got upon his dray and drove off, threatening vengeance. The next day, the wound growing worse, a physician was summoned, who dressed it, and for several days gave the injured man his at tendance and care. He speedily grew worse, however, and inflammation, setting in, soon spread from the eye to the brain, causing his death on Friday evening at six o’clock. The Coroner was notified of his death on Saturday, and officer Delhi took Richberg into custody. A jury was empannelled and a post mortem examination was held by Dr. Gore, which resulted in establishing the wound as the cause of his death. The evidence before thejuiy was conflicting, some of the witnesses denying point blank that Richberg inflicted the wound, and others equally emphatic in the affirmative. Alter a careful examination the jury returned the following verdict; We, the jnry, find that John Dalton came to his death from wounds inflicted from a whip-etock,in the hands of Louis Richberg, at the comer of Hub bard street and Milwaukee Avenue, in the city of Chicago, on or about the 14th day of November, A. D. 1861, at his residence on Leavitt street, in the said city. Dec. 14th, 1861. The deceased lived upon Leavitt street, was forty years of age, and leaves a wife and four children. Richberg was committed upon the warrant of the Coroner. Dr. Hunter, of New York, on tbeCom plications of Consumption* LETTER NO. VIZ. To the Editors of the Tribune: Though in the early stage the destroying in fluence of consumption is wholly confined to the lungs, its effects are soon seen in a disturb ance of the whole system. Every organ in tile body deeply sympathizes with the impeded function of the lungs. The function of the lungs is to purify the blood of its carbon, without wliich there can he no strength in the muscles or harmony in the action o i other or gans. Whatever interferes with the free admission of pure air to the lungs renders the blood im pure and unfit to nourish and sustain the tone of the body.' The circulation of impure Wood weakens its •vitality and produces an imperfect performance of the functions of every part, _ This disturbance is called sympathy. But it ; is sometimes more than that nrrvcms connec tion existing between a diseased and a healthy organ to winch the term, “sympathy" is fre quently applied. It is a two-fold sympathy acting through the blood and through the ■nerves. The Mlure ou the part of the lungs to purify the blood links together the several organs of the body in the consequences. The injury, which began in the lungs thus be comes transmitted from organ .to organ until, the local malady is lost in the wide range of complications to winch it has given rise. These complications often occur with much greater violence in one'organ than in others. In one the stomach is its chief scat, and wc find the appetite capricious; sometimes too good, at others miserably poor. Wo may have ‘‘pain in the stomach,” “flatulence,” “vom iting,” “eructations,” and all the train of dis tresses which mark confirmed dyspepsia. In another the bowds manifest the disease in con firmed “chronic dysentery" or “chronic diar rhea." If there are granulations or ulcera tions in the fauces and larynx, the disease is mistaken for “a mere affection of the and, as a consequence, the lungs are wholly neglected. Should there be much pain in'the chest, and especially should the pteuria be come inflamed and adhere to the walls of the chest, as is very common hi every form 'Of consumption, the disease is thought- to he only u cftronic pleurisy,” or '■'■ rheumatism in ihc'iHUwie* of or “ neuralgia." These and many other affections are mere conrcgvcnccx of the pulmonary disease, and spring directly from U. That they are fre quently mistaken for the chief disease, and wrongly treated, there can be no doubt * In fact, 1 am almost daily made aware of the truth of this observation by patients them selves. But this Is not to be wondered at when we consider all the difficulties which lie in the way of the general practitioner acquir ing that experience which is necessary to de tect pulmonary diseases in the carly stage. The physician requires long and constant prac tice to become accurate in diagnosis with the stethoscope. ’Without great practical experi ence, the most profound book-knowledge will not save him from making many grievous mis takes. And the difficulty is not alone from the inexperience of the physician, but al so and to a great degree from the unwilling ness of the patients to believe their lungs are diseased, or to have their chests carefully ex amined. They strive to persuade themselves that their lungs are sound, and though filled with apprehension, they go to the physician for his opinion, I might almost say without a deliberate intention to disguise or miseolor their worst symptoms, that they may lead him to decide as they wish. Let me warn the reader to be ever watchful of the chest, and do not rest satisfied when von have any fears in regard to your lungs, until voa have obtained a careful examination, and the best advice you can procure. An er ror may cost vou tout life. If you have I tubercles, and they are not discovered until [ in their second stage, your case, from being simple, becomes one of extreme danger. I have thus briefly glanced at a few of the more common complications of consumption in a plain, practical maimer, because I know that there is no point on which the public entertain such erroneous opinions, and from mistakes in regard to the real cause and treat ment of which, such calamitous results spring. It is common for poets and novelists to de scribe Consumption as a disease of little suf ering. They paint the victim of it as slowly faffing away, placid in mind, without pain of body, and in the fullest and keenest enjoy ment of every sense and faculty. like a withering flower, gliding gently down to the grave, diffusing around" her as she fades an atmosphere of increasing sweetness. But alas! Poetry is not true to life. There,*are few diseases more to be dreaded for the suffer ings they occasion. In its commencement, Consumption Is stealthy. It comes on with out any warning of Us approaA, and in gene ral is jinnh/ seared before it is detected at all. Thus far, the descriptions of fancy arc correct, but now comes a train of complicated miseries which try the strongest forti tude. The chills during the morning arc followed bv a consuming fever in the after noon, and this again by exhausting perspira tions at nhrht. Sleep is broken by cough, and the day liarrasscd by efforts to expectorate. The breath becomes “pent up” by pleuritic pains, and no sooner are these subdued than ] diarrhea seizes upon the bowels. Day by-day i the oppression on the chest increases, The heart palpitates and labors to force the thick ! and impute blood through the obstructed lungs. The appetite becomes capricious, the limbs wasted, and the whole body enfee bled. But a terror more formidable than all is the steadily increasing and ever present sense of impending suffocation. As the air cells and tubes become filled up by the exten sion of the disease, the space for the breath grows less and less, until at last the poor suf ferer dies actually gasping for air! And there is nothing"to console the con eumptiveinthcusual treatment of the disease. Remedy alter remedy fails to afford even relief. Change of climate only increases his hardship, and in too many instances hastens the fatal issue. The past presents a bleak and dreary prospect, and the experience of the present— If wc accept the bright promise of inhalation —no hope for the future. Such is the stern reality of this terrible dis ease, divested of all fancy.

School Book Question Again.—At a meeting held on Saturday morning, December 14tb, at 112 Dcarbom-st. P. T. SHERLOCK, in the Chair. It was unanimously resolved, Firefly, That the resolution? of the School Teach ers’ Meeting, in this morning’s Tbibuhe, are—all bosh. Secondly, That as public servants, those parties arc paid for teaching, not for peddling books in school hours. Thirdly, That even If any teachers did sell books below regular prices, it was after their pu pils had found out Sherlock's cheap store, and learned his prices for books. Fourthly, That the word “accidentally” is a very poor justification for overcharging. Fifthly . That whenever the Board of Education shall enter into an investigation of these matters of School Book rascalities, onr Chairman be re quested to attend such investigation, testify to and prove all he knows upon the subject. Sixthly , That the Board of Education ought not to allow itself to be worked like a machine for the benefit solely of either publisher or teachers. Seventhly, That as parentshave to pay for school books, they should be left free to find them where they can buy cheapest, and that without any in strumentality calculated to overshadow lair com petition. _ Eighthly, That like Ministers of State, Teach ers and members of School Boards should he pro hibited from receiving favors from pupils or pub lishers. Ninthly, That teachers of the Public Schools, to deserve the confidence of the public, should not only he free from the charge of extortion, but be yond all suspicion of it. Lastly, That our Chairman is requested and hereby authorized, to continue to sell new or old Books, at less prices than any other establishment in Chicago, notwithstanding all the combination of School Teachers, School Book Publishers, or members of the Board of Education, and that Ho shall he prepared to sell daring the coming year ten thousand dollars worth of second-hand .School Books, at very low prices, and also continue to take in exchange all old Books read in the Public Schools.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONETARY. Satcbdat Evening, T)ec. # 14,1861. The week closes on a very comfortable money market. Business is good- IsearlyaH the money in circulation is good, and onrmerchants generally feel cheerful and content. To the seeker of local financial news from day to day, times are decidedly dull, hut that very dearth of news, when business is reasonably active. Is the very best indication that the people are prosperous. The Icadlnghanks still sell exchange at hC per cent premium. It is hardly as abundant as it was two or three days ago; l>nt the supply and demand are about equal. Some of the banka charge a frac tion above on small hills. The haying price is par @>s; the higherprice is only conceded occasionally to hest customers. Gold buying at selling, )4%)i' The brokers Bt£H charge 1 per cent on retail lots, and take it when they can get it. hIiLWAUKEE.—The Sentinel of this morning says There was no change in the general features of the money market yesterday. Borne of the banka reported exchange rather easier, others quite close, hut all concurred in expressing the opinion that it would he plenty cnoush to meet every demand after this week. The selling rates were cent at the hanks and 13f outside. Gold is plenty at 1)4, hut for small sums the brokers still ask 2 cent. For exchange the banks will sell gold at par. We understand the Bankers’ Association has re tired about two hundred thousand dollars since the Ist of the month, of the circulation of hanks that were unable or unwilling to come up to the re quirement# of the new banking law. The Hudson' Citt (Wis.) Bank. —The La Crosse Republican mentions the failure of the Hudson City Bank, Hon. 31. G. Gibson. President. The bank ha® madean assignment to H. L. Humphrey for the benefit of the depositors. Its circulation is about $21,000, secured by $15,000 Michigan and $7,000 Wisconsin Bonds. Its issue# are therefore good, and in accordance with the arrangements of the Bankers’ Association, they will continue to he re ceived at par in Milwaukee. So says the Sentinel of this morning. St. Lons, Dec. 13th. —The Democrat says: The money market exhibited no new feature to-day, except the increase of Treasury notes, large amounts of which—a millon and a half or two millions of dollars—have been paid out on Gov ernment account in this city, since Monday last. Their abundance had slackened the tightness of the exchange market, and rates were not so Arm at 5 per cent, premium for current Missouri paper. But gold remains nominally 5 percent, baying, and 6 per cent, selling, with a much less demand to-day than on Tuesday and Wednesday. The ap prehension of a rapid decline in Treasury notes, and the consequent desire to convert them into gold, has given way, and as the report of the Socretarv of the Treasury becomes better under stood, confidence in th© firmness of Government securities is strengthened. pg~ The Hudson City Bank, (Wisconsin,) Hon. 3d. B. Gibson, President, has failed, and made an assignment to H. L. Humphrey for the benefit of depositors, with a deficiency of about $12,000. The Milwaukee Bankers should and will he com pelled to stick to their agreement, and redeem the hills, which are too good to admit of a serious loss. The circulation of the hank is about $21,000. se cured by $15,00 Michigan and $7,000 Wis consin bonds, — Exchange.

Wheat vras. therefore, declining, and as the port was crowded with grain cargoes, and the weather had been rainy for a whole mouth, while the means of transportation were altogether insufficient — these circumstances combined have much contrib uted to depress the market. The opinion was gen . erallv entertained that the decline in prices was owing to a momentary glut in the market, as the most important holders of wheat were confident of an early rise and were storing up.

The demand, though not general among exporters, has been lair, and considerable has been shipped at 93£ c, The closing of canal navigation has checked ship ment from the West, and the arrivals have been light. so that the stock now on band is moderate. The home demand continues light.

In view of the feet of nearly forty millions of this •eastward movement being directed from the canals to other routes of transportation, the Canal Board have .wisely taken the initiative steps for lengthen ing the chambers of the present locks so u to admit the passage of boats one hundred and forty feet in length, which will so cheapen transporta tion as to invite the trade to the canals that now mows through other channels. In anticipation of this contemplated improvement, the Hon E. S. Prosser has contracted with Messrs, van Slyek A Notter, of this city, to build a canal steamer 140 oet beam costing SOOOO. New York Dry Goods market. [From the H. Y. Independent, 12th.] The amount of business doing is still large for the season, and prices of cotton, and woolen goods continue totenanpward. There are many buyers here vet from the West purchasing moderately, hnt whose purchases in the aggregate make a targe amount, and the near-by and city trade are bnyingscasonablegoods. Muchof thscitybusi nesa is. however, of a speculative character, especially in cotton fabrics. Raw and middling cotton it* now 30c, and the goods in market made when cotton was lower are sold at somewhat less prices than they can be replaced at. This gives rise to some speculation, as the prospects of returning days of cheap cotton are not bright. Consumers must look for higher prices in the spring, as the supply for general consumption will be limited, the government engaging the hoik of the manu factures for contract goods. Woolen goods arc very remunerative. In prints and printing cloths there hnsbeen considerable excitement, resulting in a general advance of prices. The stocks on hand are changing hands repeatedly under a speculative demand, looking to extreme scarcity in the spring of all kinds of cotton cloth. Many raanufiiclurcrs of prints have sold oat, and stocks are mostly held by second hands. Last Saturday prices advanced one penny on a rise the Erevious week of and the stocks are now eld for a farther advance. The manufacturers are now engaged on spring goods. Bleached and brown goods have also again advanced since our last, and the market is in a very feverish state. Brills, ticks, denims, cotton flannels, jeans, etc., are all advancing rapidly. The famine in cotton is beginning to be felt. All army goods are in great demand. The manufacture of woolen shoddy has greatly increased of late, and checks the advance of woolen goods. Fancv cassimeres are more active than ever Spring stvles are wanted for the California market. Cloths are all quick of sale for cloakings. Satinets are scarce and wanted. Beavers are active. De laines are steady. Shawls less active; the demand is limited to check patterns. Foreign goods are doing better, as the scarcity and increased price of domestic goods is felt. British cottoaandoress soods eeU well, and at a good profit over the high duties. British woolens also are doing well, being scarce and much wanted. Sealskins are in great request. Dress silks are doll; staple kinds are the only kinds wanted, all the higher qualities be ing neglected. Ribbons arc in better demand; but velvets are the most wanted. The public sales are mostly of millinery goods. Hogs. [From the Louisville Journal, 13th-] The feeling; in the hog market war* rather better yesterday, and there were light sales at $3.30 to $3.40 nett, the latter rate contemplating large lots of extra hogs. The number of hoes slaughtered yesterday in this city was 5,200, ana the number remaining in pens was 3,700. There were no sales of provisions. [From the Missouri Democrat, 13th.] Hogs.—The great feature of the market just now ia pork. The receipts of hogs by river to-day were considerable, mostly from the Dea Moines vallev. lowa, by way of Keokuk. We did not de termine all the sales that were made to-day, but the range of prices was the same as yesterday-, and packets were working full hands. The co ndi tion of the market is healthy, and funds’ to suit the notions of all abundant. The ’trans actions on ’Change to-day were as follows: One lot of 700 sold at $2.60 gross; one lot of 50 sold at $3.30 to $3.40. com, or $3.40 to $3.50, Mis souri currency, dividing on an average weight of 240 S)&.
