BALTIMORE, November 2I-5 p. IN.
The horrible and unparalleled accident at of
the public schools in New York, resulting in the
death or manning for life of upwards of one hun
dred children, principally girls, is the subject OF
general conversation throughout our city to-day.
send you Geographic account of the heart-ren
ing affair, which came to hand too late last night
to be transmitted to the Republic. The accounts
this morning represent many of those wounded to
be in most precarious condition.
The magnificent exhibition of the Maryland In
stitute was brought to a close last night, when
address was delivered by Joshua Vansant esq, the
president, preparatory to the distribution of the
premiums. Subsequently fine, entertainment
was given in one of the saloons, by the managers,
to the contributors from other States and a NUM-
Der of invited guests. Upwards of one hundred sat
down to table loaded with the delicacies and SUBJ
santals of the Speeches of the most pleas
ing character were delivered during the evening
by the Hon. John =. Kennedy S. Tackle Wall0,
and MIR. Palmer, the inventor and wearer of the
famous spring-leg which took the medal at the
Worlds Fair.
The remarks of MIR. Palmer, detailing his expo.
rence in London, and the vagaries Of John Bull in
connexion with the Fair drew forth repeated cheers
from the entire company. His leg was declared by
the College of Surgeons as "next to nature" and
the bluff old Marquis of Anglessy has thrown aside
his cork-leg, and donned of the Yankee fix
ings of Mr.. Palmer. The inventor Of
his own inventions, and though there is almost
imperceptiblc limp in his gait, no one can tell by
the closest observation which is "the game leg"
The train of cars from Washir gton, due here at
eight O'Clock this morning, did not not arrive
til nearly eleven, on account of some accident TO
the locomotive when near Laurel.
The steamer Palmetto, the new vessel for the
Charleston line, returned to-day from her trial
trip to the Capes. She proved herself fine sailing
vessel, moving at the rate of fourteen miles per
hour.

MONEY AND STOCK MARKET.

WAsHINdroS, November q, 1851.
Little or no change to note in the money market
at the East Stocks have slightly advanced, with
good demand. The steamers took out over
million and quarter specie to Europe, but it has
been more than replaced by the arrival of $4,000,
600 from California, with prospects of further re-
ceipts per next steamers. Railroad stocks and
bonds continue TO be much sought after for invest
ment, as the roads can be built and "run" at much
less cost than formerly, which, in addition to the
great increase of travel, adds greatly to the re-
ceipts and dividends. There is some demand for
regularly assigned land warrants at $40 $l43.

FRoM vENEzuELA.-By an arrival at this port,
from Puerto Cabello, have dates from that place
10 the Goth ultimo and from Caracas tho capital,
20 the oath ultino. The executive OF the republic
had authorized the governors of the several prov
inces to dismiss from official positions all persons
whose dates of commission or induction into Office
anterior TO the period when Venezuela became
q separate and independent republic, disconnected
with the other Columbian States. They are also
directed to dismiss all officers who oppose the
policy Of the present national executive.
From these and other changes, il will be seen
that the present executive of the nation ia deter
mined not to allow his enemies to obtain the power
of thwartng his measures, and is doing all in his
power to remove all the ofiiceboders Of the de-
feated party. The country was tranquil and pros
porous Philadelphia american.

Where she had tumbled in the brook,
And he had dragged along the shore,
Above the place. mile or more.

And learnt her fashions toll BILE we'll
