Oaverasr Smith. The yote given for Governor Smith was a very remarkable blnitration of his popularity. The largest votes are nsnally polled at Pres idential elections. His vote ran op to the Presidential standard. And be deserved the vote be received. No administration baa ever commanded more re spect. In bis appointments he b a been sin gularly felicitous. In every ca-e where bis judgment baa been called Into exercise. In volving the Interest and honor of the State, be ha* acted with a coil and discreet deliber ation, firmness and tact, highly creditable to himself and beneficial to the public interest. This tribute to the worth of Governor Smith la none the lest sincere because un- soogfaL It has not been oar habit to pay all the deatrvedtcomplimenta to tbe administra tion that we worked, to the extent of our humble ability, to elect, and in whoso success we feel a deep Interest, and in tbe iiopuier pride of whose Instre we share. Because we belong to tbe party, and arc Democratic, Is no reason that we should ap prove In Governor Smith's Democratic admin istration what should be condemned. Tney mistake tlwsmMon of an independent party pap- r who suppose that it most support what it disapproves, bccaus* the party doe* it Party b a necessary thing. It is tbe union of men who think alike to carry good public measure*. Ah this cant and twaddle about independence of party is nauseating, and aa improper as it is uncalled-for. llight la the standard in all thing*. He who says a man or journal can’t do right because he nr it belong* to a great political organization, misrepresents noble purpo-ea. The fearless party paper or party member— not “partisan," mind you—Is as open against wrong In bis party aa oat of 1L It is not necessary to get outside of all party to be the bold champion of right and the opponent of wrong. While men are handed together to carry wrong tboorirs timer who oppose them must baud together to secure the right theories. And this concert of action la the only avail able means of securing Urn aucress of Up right. And when men or Journals profess independence it is a sort of guerilla warfare on their own book for their own interest, leaving them free to forage on all parties without bearing the necessary burdens of keeping up such organization. Because we are.* Democratic p«h>er,en: gaged In securing the supremacy of the great principle* of constitutional government. Hint form tbe Democratic -weed, we do not re nounce our right to criticize all things and all men in a proper and becoming spirit. In this' independent spirit we propose to oomment npon Governor Mmllli, and to give hi* administration commendation or censure, as they are properly due. And we are more tlian pleased to render to him thus far the praise of “ well done thou good and faithful RCnUBS THAT HE U IS GONE D AFT TUB COQUET I K’S t*KOOUB«S Iteckless Youth.

It tickle* her vanity to be snrroun. ded by a group of gentlemen, all of them anxious to obtain a smile or sword from her, to the ignoring of others. It is very enter taining to her to see Hie half-disguised mor tification and jealousy ol the majority, il. fig the time being.she favors one more than she dors the rest. Stir fi els nstunilly elsledat tbe though l that she can bring those to her feet who make such a stir in the outside world. That is an acknowledment of her iniluence which no one can ignore, and if it is a matter of considerable difficulty In bring a man to her feet, when at last stHcess crowns her efforts, her triumph is very sweet indeed. There ia tbe pleasure of spurning him, and boasting to her friend* that she baa made one more conquest. Besides, tbe labor iltelf is an agreeable break in tbe dull mruotony of her life. In order to display her many points to the beat advantage, she baa an opportunity of exercising Iboee intellectual power* which might otherwise lie dormant. She is troubled by a few twinges of conscience on mccountof the mleery ano heart-burning she causes, for ■ho regards the whole tribe of men as her lawful prey, who are to be treated as her own sweet will directs If the stupid creatures choose to become gloomy misan thropes because they are played false by a coqueue, that is their lookout aad no concern of beta Besides, she ha* an undefined im pression that men's hearts can only be wounded temporarily; they are ,-uch big, burly, coarse creature, that it is not likely they should possess such scute sensibility as frail women. One or two rebuff's will do them s great deal of good by knocking some of tbe superfluous conceit out of them And so at tbe c j set of lur career, the coquette plunge* into the amusement of flirting with infinite seat, and does as much damage in a short time as possible. But as sbe grows c'.-.le; her triumphs become fewer and her dis appointments many; unconsciously she acquires an overbearing demeanor, the natural result of her many victories She gets tbe notion into her head that men are bound to admire and pay their homage to her; that, as a superior creature, she ha* a right to demand their openly expressed admiration. And so she does not take the trouble to make berself very agreeable to them. Sbe assumes a half defiant attitude, and snubs and ridicules them unmercifully Strange as it may (and does) appear to tbe coquette, they do not like thi- sort of thing, and are not attracted thereby The consequence is they rather avoid than court her society. She becomes, too, as fitful and changeable as an Apri day; one day she will be gushing ly sentimental and confidential, and the next cold and distant and bitingly ■areas ’.Cal. T hen, again, her reputation gets impaired; for at last the troth leaks out that she is * coquette; People decline to place themselves within reach of her baleful ir.flu cnee; for they shrink back from tbe prob. bilily of being trifi.al with, tier voice is tr them as that of tbe syren, mud her eyes as tbe light of the wil o’-the wisp, luring poor mortal on to a miserable fate And so, if sbe is mat altogether avoided, her society is courtc 1 oniy by those who mean jus' ss little and are as heartless ss she i-, who are proof against all her as-.sv.lt*. and who have no ob jaction to carry a flirtation toila most extreme limits, and end the matter there They will press her with meaningless compliment, and praise her in daftly turned sentences; but tbe oomplimenit have no charm tor her. because siii- Knows they are meaningless,and are very different to those whirl! were rd dressed to her in earlier '.mica by clumsier but more sincere admirers.

A Heartless Hoax on Horace Gjeoley. Pity the Sorrows of a Poor Old .Van* New Yore, November 25.—A morning paper publishes to day tbe story current in newspaper circles for nearly a week that Horace Greeley is insane, and says be is now an inmate of the asylum at White Plains. The same paper makes public an interview with Wuitelaw Keif I, managing editor of the Tribune, in which ihat genii* man is made to #<ty in answer to questions that Greeley has been under mental treatment for some time. He is always e centric in manner and very likely might be considered by some stark mad, bat be is simply nervously prostrate. For months prior to the death of his wife be did not sleep an hour a night, and since her death has been in the same condition. In answer to the question—** Is it true that Greeley drew a knite on one of his friends?” Reid i-» made to answer by the interviewer— “ 1 n 11 you he (UYe*Jey) hxs done nothing which to those who know him seems strange. He is always an eccentric man, and at least acta as If he were queer; but now wh*m nervously pr orated strangers might think him crazy. I have seen him positively furi ous when a firs* proof fc;ul been brought him instead of a revise, hut I know md under stand him.” Held said Mr. Greeley, notwith standing the loss of sle- p nn-l appetite, was in getter*1 good health, and made a request tfi the reporter to say he was only nervously pros.rate; there was i»ir> griod in saying more. Greeley has had enough to wony him and wbal he needs is quiet und rest. P. M.— The Express lias assurances that Greeley it not in the very bail state of health indicated by the story published this morn ing, though he is unable to be at his post fir perform editorial duty. It discredits the state ment made, and hopes soon to see him re stored in heaitb, nnd with spirit enough to strike back at those wanting in nntgnAniinity. The earlier editions of other evening papers make no reference to tbe publication. Tbe Express says: The club rooms arc fall of gossip about Air. Greeley’s loss of reason, a paralytic attack, seeking an asylum at Bloomingd de, etc. We discredit them nil, and wi*li soon to see him restored to heaitb. Mr. Sinrlilr, publisher of the Tribune, stated to nn Express reporter to-day that Mr. Greeley's mind is not seriously affected and be was suffering only from nervous prostra tion. Another interviewer obtained from the Tribune office the statement that they knew notlrng of Mr. Greeley’s insanity or cf his being placed in au asylum, lie has been niucu distressed for some cays and gredly prostrated, but when last heard from h-»d sufficiently recovered to be able to cat regu larly and converse with friends.

The landlord uncrossed his legs, knocked the ashes from his cigar, and began to heave all over from inward mirth. *• Oh, yea,” he whewwi out at length,“ the clergy's dead agin it—in the pulpit.” And then he went off again into another fit of in terior mirth, which lasted until he got very unsafely red in tbe face. “You don't menu to say, landlord.” I said “that the clergy preach in the pulpit what they don't practice outside? ” Tbe landlord looked hard at me for about half a minut *.

On arriv ing here he pu: np at the Brandreth Hcu*e, at the corner of Broadway and Canal street, as he had for some time past been acquainted with the night clerk named Alartin He re mained at the Brandreth House a few days and then changed his quarteri to the St Nicholas Hotel.

On Wednesday even ing, the13ih in*t,he called at the latter named hotel, and was there introduced to a Air. Lumley, a respectable merchant, with whom lie remained playing billiards until 2:30 o'clock on Thursday morning. At that time he left to go to the St. Nicholas Hotel, and ha9 since disappeared. Mr. Alartin accompanied the missing man to the corner of Broadway and Canal street, and saw him startup Broadway in the direction of the St Nicholas Hotel, and this was the last that was seen of him bv any of his friends. Hefaibd to return to «lie hotel on Thursday, bat his non- appearance did not excite any suspicions until several days had elapsed, when a search was instituted, bat no trace of the missing man could be obtained. Tbe records at police headquarters were searchtd, but the name of the disappeared merchant could not be found among the arrests or accidents. The hospita.s in this city were thoroughly searched, but without success. Becoming alar ned at his condoned absence, the friends of the. miss ing man telegraphed to his brother, who is a Justice of the Peace iu Louisville, and that gentleman came on a: once to this city to assist in the search for his missing brother. It is stated that the missing man, on tbe day previous to his disappearance drew from tbe Nassau Bank five thousand dol lars in greenbacks, and is supposed to have had his money in his possession wjien he disappeared. He also had on his person an old fashioned gold watch and two valna- ble pearl shirt studs. It is farther stated by his friends that when he left the Brandreth House to go to Uie at.

Van Dorin, of No. 56 La- Fayette avenue, Brooklin, an advertising agent in the employ of the New York World, disappeared from his home on Friday, No ▼ember 8tb, and from that date his wherea bouts have been a mystery. He started, so he stated, on a gunning excursion. His father, the Key. C.

The corpse of a man with a plMdl tilo; wound iu iiis Lead wa:-, on Monday las*, found und<r the wharf at Lloyd’s Neck, and at first it whs supposed that the body was that of Van Dorin, but his friends, after viewing the rent-tins, d cideJ otherwise. When Van Dori> lfft home, he was well attired, and had about $100 in his possession. The day before starting on his intended expedition, Van Dorin wrote to his wife, who was at her father’s house in Alanal- apin, N. J., that he was going duck shooting. When be left, on Friday, lie wrote another letter to his wife, stating that he was coming to her; that she might expect him on the fol lowing Monday, and asking her to obtain from her father the necer3ary guns, ammuni tion, and dogs. It is remarkable that he went on his excur sion in a pair of light-soled, low shoes, unfit for country traveling. His friends also state that be was unacquainted with the use of gun9, and never had a weapon of his own. Daring his wife’s absence, Van Dorin had met an old acquaintance, aud he also disappeared some hours before Van Dorin, leaving his wile in poverty. He had been sleeping and eating at Van Dorin’s house for a week previous. Chief Campbell is awaro of this man’s mm", but declines to give it to the reporters.

TBS BABY B PPCPOTAHCS. A Curiosity in tho Zoological Cardens, London* The well known naturalist, Mr. Frank Buck 1 and, wrl*es to I And and Water, say ing : “I am delighted to be able to issue a bulletin thit the ‘little stranger* fens at last arrive! Air. Bartlett, resident superintend ent of the Zoological Gardens, has been good enough to iuform me that this Interesting event took place this morning, No vember 5. at fifteen minutes past seven. Both mother and child are doing well. This, the third baby of our old friend Madam Hippo, is bom with more sense than its late brother and sister, for it does not as yet require the services of the wet nurses, the goats, who have neen in at tendance for some days past. It will be recol lected that the last two young hippopotami would not take their proper nonriahment. The little animal born to-day, focjphom the name of ‘Guy Fawkes* heretoforeFbeen pro posed, has discovered and readily rack* s use of its mother’s milk. The little t«nff gener ally lies sleeping by the side of lit gigantic mamma, but sometimes it gets up and takes a tour of inspection round its d*a».when its family likeness can be immediately perceived. Every now and then the mother rolls her great eyes, listens attentively with her horse-like ears, and grunts lordly with a deep organ-like note; the young nae iustautiy answers in the same note, but in ith infantine key. Its color appeals to be fl&t of a pol- »sh**d mahogany diningroom t*:blc; it is about three feet six inches .long, and its weight about one' hundred pounds. Eleven hippopotami have been born in Earope—six at Amsterdam, two at Paris, three in England—but they have died in their in fancy. Immense care is therefort taken of the new precious infant. The hisEHipotomus house is kept perfectly quiet, anu^yery pre caution i9 taken by Mr. Bartlett—to whom the greatest credit is due for his able man agement and his eudless care in this matter— to prevent the mother being dtttnrbed by people moving about, doors opened, etc.; for for if she were once put out, the poor old thing, who looks exhausted mid anxious, would probably, in her alarm, up, rush about, and possibly not suckle kef child, or else trample by accident upon it. i Therefore tbe public, I understand, cannot (jossibly be admitted to see the young one uniil the doc tors pronounce that it is quite safd to do so. They will, in the meantime, wis’r. this little hippo ‘long life and a merry one.*J* I have just been up to the Gardens (the Zoological) to get the latest news, and am happy to be able to Is-ue a mo:! favorable bulletin. Little Guy Fawkes am its mother are both doing exceedingly welL^fhis morn ing (November fc)at seven thoy w were both as it t .\ and slept till seven, shich hour tuev went ju.u the water. \V /w they came out the mother stood up while tnryOungone suckled freely for some timc: £s$Jerks its bead against the udder like a kl*y or a limb When it had sucked enough it got up with mile all over its i.tce and began jumping and skipping with awkward gombo^ around its mother, and e* cry now and then it pitched up the hay and played with it,‘showing it was liveiy and well.

Rochefort, writes: Few romances of fiction have imagined for their- climax an incident so pathetic as the marriage of Heuri Rochefort, with all the circumstances which, in fact, surrounded it yesterday. Several years ago, when the man now condemned to detention for life was the young Comte de Rochefort Lucay, he wooed and won Alarie Anastasie Renauld, the daughter of an i mployee in the Ministry of Finance. They were at the time almost boy and girl—he, I think, twenty, and she sixteen—and did imt find it necessary to con secrate their affection by any other ceremony than those vows of constancy which usually prove of very transient foice. It was not so, however, iu this case. By successive stages the Comte de Rochefort let himself be carried away by his virulent wit and his eager desire* for notoriety until he became famous for sati es which were certainty out of all keeping with au aucicut title, and he wisely dropped his rank. It is poor work attacking u falling man, and I will not inquire now whether some of his extrava gant articles, which, however meant, could but fall like oil upon the fire of fiercer men’s passions, were uot equally unworthy of the plain citizen Heuri Rochefort claimed to be. The natural result of such a career has been at one timq exile, at another implication in the horrorB'committt-d by those who were, or had been, his followers, and finally the con dition of a prisoner for the rest of his life. During all his chanties of fortune, except tbe last. Mile. Renauld has remained with him. At Brussels, when he was an exile; at Paris during he sie^te, they were together; and they luive only been parted lately owing to her lines*. * This is at present so danger ous iLat in all probability death must come soon. hhe could not meet this calmly without reinedving for her chil dren, as French law cuables ber to do, the mistake made years ago. There were diffi culties in the way. She could not be moved from her bed, and her lover had ceased to have the right, or at hast the power, to con trol his own actioux. However, these ot Sta cies have been overcome, and the prisoner was permitted ye-uerday to come, strongly guarded at every step, to make the dying woman in the Convent of the Amui-oiacs at Versailles, at last, hii wife. By this the chil dren, a daughter aud two sons, became legit imate. No wonder tliat people have talked of little else the last two d tj s. Curiosity was natu rally excited to know each detail of this strange conclusion to a singular story; but the mutter was so well and quietly ma< aged, that very few inquisitive spectators could get in, where their prcsei.ce would have been most unacceptable. Roc her fort had been brought to the Aiaisou u’Airet of Versailles on Monday night, and thence his marriage procession stand on yesterday morning. It consisted of one large uiied carri age, conveying the bridegroom aud three police agents, dressed in plain clothes; it left tne prison at a very early hour, and had for escort a very strong eu ird of pu art tic >1* de la ptiix, who also sur rounded in foice the Mnisi.n de S uite, at tached to the Convent of lire Augustincs Here, on tho second story was No. 3—a little room opeuinir, ha all such do in places of confinement, from a great public corn do**, and in this lay the bride. As the poor; p;^a- lyzed woman could uot, of course, be moved* to the Mairie or to the church for cither the civil or religious ccremouy, M. Rameau, tbe Mairie, had come to her bed side. Tbe m image instrument was read by him, while AL Rochefort stood by the bride, holding her hnml. Ii was then signed by both, though the effort drew from her a cry of pain, and witnessed by Francois, Victor Hugo, Enie-t Blum, Jean Dcstrein, and the eloquent barrister, Albert July. This was sufficient to give legal validity to the marriage and stains to the children; but Mile. Rjnauid (;is the Rappel states half apologet ically) had be. ged for a religious ceremony also, and Rochefort could not refuse a request which will probablyiBe her last. The bless ing of the Churcu was, therefore, bestowed on the pair by the Abbe Follet, chaplain of prisons. After this M. aud Mmd. Rochefort were released from surveilance for a short hall hour, and left absolutely alone. At the exoirution of this time they parted, and at U o’clock of their bridal inorniu&lheir wed ded life ended forever.

London, November 9.—The very upper most circles of tociety here are agitated by the report of the imminence of an extremely unusual and startling event A daughter of the Rothschilds is about to be married to a poor mun—and this poor mao is a Christian! The young lady who is thus about to break wiih the traditions of her family aud disre gard the teachings of her religion is the daughter of Sir Anthony Rothschild, and the mun upon whom she is resolved to be stow her fortune and her heart is the Hon.

Parts correspondence Kew York Eenld] And connected with this religions move ment, I sm naturally led to speak ot “ex- Father" Hyacinthc, aa he is called, whom yon know so well at home. He has drifted Into Paris again, and is now living in the little village of Neuilly-on-the-Scine, a couple of miles beyond the Arch of Triump. The newspapers have made the Father the point of innumerable paragraphs, and it would seem that there ia a marked and systematic attempt to persecute him out of France. There ia scarcely a newspaper that does not contain a paragraph or an item about the Father or hia bride calculated to annoy or wound him. Let me translate one that I take at random from a number, and which 1 find in the Za Km Farititnns, a gossip, scandal and picture paper, written for the students and the uncertain world: The letters of ex Father Hyacinthe are be coming aa numerous as the stars. M. Loyson announces tc-d&y that he will continue to serve the mass in bis apartments—in slippers and morning gown, we suppose. We fancy M. Loyson saying in tho evening to his mud of ail work: “Catherine, you will serve mass at 10 and breakfast at 11 o’clock.” And the next day we can fancy Madame Loyson—who is prolonging her stay in bed, disturbed by a violent ringing of bells—say ing: “ Strange that Catherine will never answer that belli” And so in her turn she summons Catherine, and says sharply: “ Catherine, you are very slow in answetiug the door bell.” “AhI no, Madame,” eays Crtherine; “it ia Monseur at his mass.” In tbe meantime the uitramotanist jour nals assail the Fa ber bitterly, while other writers support him for his marriage. The Father shows resolution and persistency in his defense. He replied to the editor of tbe Univers, the Jesuit organ, that he was a bigot but sincerely one, and he held him in no less regard for permitting his bigotry to assail him. And Paris had its langh at the angry writer, who could not induce Hyacinthe to lose his temper. A Paris newspaper, L’Avenir National, having defended the course of the Father in marriage, he tlds morning prints a letter thanking him. “I have read,” says the Father, “with the attention which they merit, the two article * you have written re cognizing the marriage of Priests. You have treated with perfect kindness and appreciation a question which. In France, as well as the world generally, has never been carefully studied. You have made an argument, baaed upon solid truth, and calculated, I have no doubt, to contribute largely to uprooting the prejudices which exist in our country. You have shown how it ia not possible to attribute to the legislation of France that which has no existence save as an incident in its jurisprudence, and that it is not possible to resign, without violence to conscience, which nrc reserved nnder the law.” The Father concludes with the hope that tbe arti cle- to which he refers will be enlarged and printed, aa the reform is one that is ultimately associated with all others.

In the meantime. Father Hyacinthe con tinues to livo in his suburban home and to perform liis offices as a priest of the Catholic Church. Although under the penalties of tbe Church and forbidden to celebrate mass in auy Catholic edifies, he insists npon his priestly character and means to found a church here. The principle of marriage among the clergy, for which he contends, and the per.-onat acceptance of which on his part has made all this clamor, is exciting un usual attention, and the bitterness of the war made upon him for entering into tbe marriage relation shows that the Oatholic powers here do not underrate bis power or the importance of his cause. The prejudice against a mar ried clergy is deep and Ituptao hie. -and ex tends into all classes. Even the scoffing mind of France of tbe boulevards, which saw no great harm in shooting a bishop, is scandalized by the marriage of the clergy. Those who hate tbe Catholic Church and all chuvhcs welcome the act of Hyacin- the as an evidence of the general immorality of the Church, and appeal to it in evidence of the corruption and falsity of religion gener ally. Nor can there be any doubt that the hold step of Hyacinthe has injured if not de stroyed hia influence as a reformer. His act had a personal meaning—a desire fnrpcraon- al comfort or satisfaction—which suggest selfishness and the absence of those qualities of self-denial and abnegation which belong to reformers. The extent of this injury was seen at the Congress of Old Catholics, at Cologne. Before hia marriage no one would have been more heartily welcomed or would have had more power and skill a9 a leader than Father Hyacinthe. He has rare gifts. His eloquence was the wonder and the attraction at Notre Dame. He writes the Freuch languagewith the felicity and strength shown by Dr. Newman in the English. His fame bad gone over the world; and yet ai Cologne be was Bilcnt and avoided. The Old Catholics did not want his counsel or his leadership. He bad brought into his life a new and disturbing principle—a principle that the chimpious of reform did not wel come. The oid Catholics opposed tbe infal libility and other new dogmus, and npon that issue proposed to war against the Pope Father Hyacinthe began hia secession in the same way; but while the Old Catholics con fined their campaigns against the Papacy to their dogmas of discipline and Church gov ernment, Hyacinthe added the question of celibacy. The history of reformation shows :hat celibacy was never a welcome question to the reformers. Long after Elizabeth was satisfied to aid in tbe Reformation she in dulged a special dislike to married clergymen and many Protestant minds even now find a scandal in it. So that Father Hya cinthe, iu championing this doctrine, baa taken one that, in tbe beginning, implies hi- own violation of his vow of chastity, and offends the singular sense of repulsion with which all classes in this Catholic country re gard a married clergy. I had an odd evi dence of tlie dislike which has fallen upon him the other mornrng at the Cathedral of Notre Dame.

C.: __ Gxnekal—In reply to your telegraphic dispatch, received this morning, directing me to make a full report of the meteoric pbeuom cna attending the recent great fire, I would respectfully say that the wind at this station during tho progress of the Arc, varied from north-northwest to north, with a velocity of from five to nine miles per hdur, weather being clear, cool and pleasant On approach ing the fire on the north or windward side, as close as the heat would allow, the in draught cf air through liter burning streets assumed the character of a brisk wind, ptoba- bly sixteen or eighteen miles per hour, while the heat was so intense ss to cause smoke, steam, etc, to be carried up in spirals to a great elevation. On the s-- mb or lee side the induced currents of tir were very strong, probably thirty or thirty-live miles per hour, carrying tbe fire bodily to windward. This state of affairs up ears to be the reverse of the Chigaco lire, where the strength of the wind was sufficient to overcome the induced currents and the fire burned to leeward: It appears ns if the high wind permitted tlie in draught to rise at a considerable angle af er reaching the fire, leaving a large space of highly ra'ified air in its front, inducing stronger turrents to flow in, which, meeting the indraught, gave the spiral or whirlwind form to the ascending current. During the fire a flock of ducks passed at s great height overhead, and the light reflected from their plumage made them appear as fire balls passing rapidly through the air. Many wi.o saw them called them meteors, and likened them to the ha Is of fire said to have been seen in tlie Northwest during tbe great fires iu that region.

The opini m waa freely expressed on the street that he would not pay his losses in full, but let tho broken stand the brunt ot the contracts. HOW QOULD CAUGHT D.VXISL DREW. It is said that Drew was caught in the trap by a device of Gould’a which was ingenious in its way. Gould went to Drew, a few weeks ago, aud suggested tho possibility of “singing" the street on Erie, in which trans action the latter was to appear a bull. Drew joined in with the idea and went to work se cretly to bay up large blocks of Erie, locking them up in safes as fast as they were pur chase . The stock in this market was soon gobbled up, and as a consequence tho price of Eric began to advance Gould also bought Eric largely at low figures on the start, but abstained horn purchasing any when it began to advance. The stock rose to 56>, and Goidd unloaded hia entire interest upon Drew, thereby noting a considerable profit.

At the Fifth Avenue Hotel, last night, there was considerable excitement among linkers, merchants and brokers, caused by various reports which were circulated rela tive to a second arrest of Gould, and its con nection with the Chicago and Northwestern comer. The story, as it gained circulation, was, that the Brie Company had determined to arrest Gould ag.iin, that he might be held in greater bail than one million. This was contradicted in various quar ters; but there seemed to be no ade quate grounds either for the assertion or de nial. Watson, prosident of the Brie Coin* ianv, stated that it was his intention to have jis bail made large enough to in some way uuard against Gould’s running away, but tbat was his only object and totally m dis connection with tbe stock jobbing. Watson thought that one million dollars was suffi cient b til for the present, although he depre cated the custom of diminishing bail in proportion as a defalcation increases There ts much interest manifested concerning the events of to-morrow in Wall st,and anxiety in regard to the course of the market is intense.
