A Productive INvEsrMENT.-The New York
Post says that the late Judge Mullanphy, of St.
Louis who reputed at his death to be the veal
thiest man in the northern States, arrived in that
city thirty five years ago, and at chancery sale
purchased water front OF one hundred and five
feet at the foot of Cortland and Liberty streets,
including pier II and part of 10, for $4,000. At
the same sale he bought the whole tract Of land
lying between the Eighth and Ninth avenues and
Sixty seventh and Sixty ninth streets, on part of
which the Bloomngdale church stands, embracing
about hundred full building lots, for 300. The
property has been sold or divided, but its in
come has been regularly paid over to his heirs.
We perceive, however, that the Cortland street
property ia about to be sold under decree of par
tition, applied for by the heirs or some parties in
terested in it. The tract at Boomingdale, we
derstand, is to be parttioned but the wharf prop
erty, not being susceptible Of division without
prejudice, has to abide the fate of the hammer.
The property in Cortland street is now estimated
to be worth between one and two hundred thou
sand dollars. The sum, whatever it may be, added
to the enormous rental which the property has
paid for twenty five years, is tolerably fair
return for an investment of $1,000, saying nothing
OF the Boomingdale farm, which is worth more
than half much more, though costing but one
tenth much money.

ROUTE TO Ell PAso.--We are pleased to announce
that Juan Maria Ponsio Dc Leon, who arrived in
Victoria a few days since from Ell Paso, proposes
TO make regular trips with train of twenty five
or thirty mule teams from Victoria or Matagorda
Bay to Chihuahua or Ell Paso. Mr.. De Leon pre-
fers the trip to Chihuahua to that of Ell Paso. He
represents it as sixty miles nearer from San Anto
Mo to Chihuahua than to Ell Paso, over good
road, Astounding in good grass, which can be trav-
elled at any period of the year. He takes out this
trip seven wagon loads of goods for the Boundary
Commission and eight for himself AS evidence
of the goodness Of the roads, we take pleasure in
stating that Mr.. De Leon on his last trip hauled
5,275 pounds per wagon, and, although the same
mules have made three trips, they now in ex-
cellent condition. The teamsters have enjoyed
uninterrupted good health, and Mr.. De Icons
train, under the charge of Mr.. Smith, has never
suffered the loss of mule. New springs have
been discovered in places where water before was
very scarce. Mr.. De Leon says, now that so much
is known of the route, number of traders will
adopt this route who have travelled the old one.

DREADFUL GALE UPON THE COAST OF Nova SCo-
TIA.-One Hundred Vessels ashore at Prince Ed,odrd
Island-Three Hundred Liues Lost.-By despatch
from Pictou, received by the collector Of this port,
from b. Hammatt Norton, United States consul at
that port, we learn that the northeast coast has
been swept by terrible and destructive gale, and
that one hundred fishing vessels were ashore the
north side of Prince Edward Island. 1t is esti-
mated that three hundred persons have perished in
the wrecks, and many bodies have already drifted
ashore. Mr.. Norton was to proceed at once to the
scene of distress for the purpose of rendering aid.
Mr.. Norton telegraphed from Pictou yesterday
that there news from the western part of
Prince Edward Island. Over one hundred vessels
had been lost on the north side, and the number of
lives lost would exceed three hundred. Thirty
vessels were piled up together on the beach at
"Molpenze' harbor.-Boston Courier, Oh.

MONEY AND STOCK MARKET.
wAsH1seroS, October 10, 1851

WAsmEeToS, October 10, 1851.
The great stringency that has existed in the
money market for several weeks past is gradually
subsid ding, and there is every indication of a
newal Of confidence, 1t is the general impression
that the crisis has passed, and that the business Of
the country will not be materially disturbed. Sew
eral heavy dealers have failed in Boston, but
have no rerort of failures in New York during the
past week.
The stringency has been as great in Philadel-
phia as in New York, Boston, or Baltimore, but
there have been very few, if any, failures sus-
pensions here.
That the general business of the country is in
remarkably healthy state cannot be denied, and
the surprise is that more failures have not occurred
Formerly failures were of almost daily occur
renee, and excited but little attention, and there
ID now no reason why confidence should be lost or
fears increased at the few failures that have oc
Cured, when we consider the contraction in the
money market.
| Until the late difficulties, there have been no
failures Of any extent in the country for the past
two years, and we may safely say that there were
more failures each year for ten years previous to
lS49 than here has been during the past two years
| We may have been importing too largely from
| Europe, but ii has been at time when VIC were
better able to do so than heretofore, without
| ing difficulties in our monetary affairs.
Our produce have increased in greater proper
ton than imports, but as yet gold is the only
| one which has been available toany extent towards
| liquidating the heavy balance against US. The
shipments of specie is decreasing, and we hope
to chip in it's place cotton, corn, and tobacco,
which our abundant harvest better enables US to
| spare.

PROFESSOR GROUX'S
French Class for Conversation 81 Reading,
ViH be opened on Tuesday, the l4u inst, at p. m.
THE OBJECT OF THIS CLASS is to aid in
n every possible way those persons in Washing
ton who desire to acquire accurate knowledge
of French, and to learn not only to read, but to
speak the language fuently. Most persons in the
United States acquire their knowledge through the
eye alone, and hence the number OF individuals
here who read tolerably well, but do not compre-
bend word of French when spoken, or even when
read, by another To such persons such Glass
promises very great advantages.
The members will meet at the rooms of Profess
cor ID. K. GRoUx, native of France, who will di-
rect and superintend the exercises, opposite
Browns Hotel, where tickets may be had.

DANGRRoUs Observation-Disclosures, the man
who was recently in the hands of avigiant com
mittee in California, and came near being hung,
owing to an unfortunate resemblance TO Stewart,
the convict, has been discharged from custody.
This man had several narrow escapes First he
escaped hanging by the mob at San Francisco,
subsequently sentenced to death by legally
constituted court, and again was sentenced to four
teen years imprisonment. IL seems that he was
guiltless of every charge brought against him, and
owed all his trouble to the close resemblance in
personal appearance to the convict above named.
Several witnesses swore most positively to the iden
fronted with Stewart, the real culprit, acknow-
lodged their error.

LOCAL MATTERS

INcENpIARIsM ARREsT.-Y yesterday a man
named John Blake, stranger, was arrested by OFF,
GERS Boss and Barnaclo under the following circum
stances, and brought before Justice Goddard,
namely On the eighth instant he sold a bride
and bit to Isaac Redman, captain of boat, repre-
senting that he had disposed of his horse and sad
die in Salem, Virginia. On Thursday night, at
nine O'Clock, he again called to see the captain,
and said to him. A" if any mischief takes place to-
night, say you never sac me, and that you do not
know me if i am inquired after. You are fool
if you don't understand me-" Half an hour after
this conversation, the stable of Ager and McLane
was il flames, and then it occurred to the captain
that this was the "mischief'' to which Blake had
ferred. So the captain made known the facts to
the police, and these the warrant for Blake's
rest was issued
1t appeared from the evidence that the bride be-
longed TO Messrs. Ager and McLane; several per-
soma identified il beyond question; and further,
that it stolen from them about the 9Th in
slant; and from this and the testimony of Captain
Redman, Blake was committed to prison to await
trial at the next term of the criminal court, first,
the charge of stealing the bridle (valued at dol
lar and fifty cents) and, secondly that of setting
fire not only to Messrs. Ager and McLane's stable,
but the stable of w. J. Sibley and Co., which oc-
CURED short time afterwards.
VENTRLoouIsM. = During of the market
days of the present week, country boy was some
what surprised to hear, as he imagined, the squeal-
ing of pig in the vicinity of his potato and turnp
baskets! Leaving customer, he set down his
measure, and fastened to the rear, and there made
dligent search for the porcine intruder. But his
labor was in vain! He then began to overhaul his
vegetables, and seemed to be much perplexed with
the noisy visitant While thus engaged, his atten-
ton was suddenly diverted, by excessive laughter
from the bystanders, who had just discovered Sig
nor Bltz quietly roundingfa corner Of the market
house!
THE LAST DAV.-This afternoons and
ng's performances of Sgnor Bltz will close the
present series of his amusing entertainments in
this city.
Yesterday afternoon there were present at Odd
Fellows Hall four five hundred of the scholars
of the public schools, in addition to the orphans of
the St. Vincent's asylum. The latter were spe-
cially invited by the Signor, and had a free ad-
misson, of course. There were many happy little
hearts on the occasion.

WILLIE TURNPIKE COMPANY.
TINE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS, with the
IL majority of the Stockholders, have determined
to construct on this turnpike Plank Road running
from the city boundary Seventh street to the line
of the District and Montgomery county, MARYLAND,
and for that purpose will issue STOCK to the ex
tent of seven hundred and fifty shares of t,uenty
TO solicit and receive subscriptions to the same
Books are now open at our office for the purpose.
Fve dollars each share is to be paid at the time
of subscribing, and like amount every sixty
days until the whole is paid.
The advantages of such a road to the CITY and
the property in the vicinity Of the road, must be
apparent to all conversant with its situation There
ia but little doubt that similar road will soon be
built, connecting this road with Rockville and
Brookvlilc-the last in the midst of a fine agri-
cultural country; thus opening a direct and easy
route from Montgomery and the upper part OF
Anne Arundel counties to this city for the trans-
portaton of the products of that and the surround
ing country.
Plank Roads being most extensively con-
structed throughout the country, and have every
tohere proved profitable investments, pa ying large
dividends TO the stockholders, besides improving
the value of property near them, and greatly in
creasing the trade in the places through which
they pass.
A considerable portion of the stock has already
been subscribed
Holders of the old stock in the company are enti-
tied to one share of stock for every co shares
OF the old, which will be issued to them on surren
der OF the old certificates. The road will pro-
baby be finished in less than twelve months and
ready for travel The cost will be less than i5,-
600. II is thought it will pay dividend of not less
than hve per cent the first year after il IS finished,
and the dividends will steadily increase.
