this suit to recover this amount of the owners of
the boat

such as fire; that fire mot Occasioned by lightning
or other act of Cod is not "danger Of tie Yioer,

Burlington tri-weekly hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington [Iowa]) 1852-1855, 1855-02-06

ssWHIsTLE DowN THE BRAKES. We learn
from the New York papers that the new rail-
road brake, of which SO much has been said,
has at last been tried on the Harlaem Road
and with the following result:
Though the rails were in bad condition On
account of the weather, the train while run
ming at the rate Of thirty miles per hour, on
a down grade, was stopped within $50 feet
of the point where the brake was applied, on
returning, within 345 feet. This brake is
entirely under the control Of the engineer and
it is said to be the most effective means yet
invented Cor checking the train of cars. 1t is
rendered more safe by being under the CON-
troll of the engineer who will be medium of
the lookout and will do away with the en-
ployment of brakemen."

Seuen hundred and Fifty dollars, to . small
company of Dubuque guards, for military
services in defending the western frontier
against the Indians.
Evidence was pro duced showing that those
guards never left Dubuque at all! In the
bill Of items there were two hundred dollars
charged for wagons for transporting militia
~ stores to the seat of war, and large
mount for powder and carpet bags! Evil
dence was given in the House that those wa
CONS never left Dubuque, or never even APP
peared on parade! The carpet bags Mr.. Shields
admitted to be now the private property Of
the company, and member Of the House
declared in his seat that the powder was
burnt firing political salutes last August in
honor of Mr.. Hempstead's victory over MIR.
Grimes!! Yet the Seven hundred aud Fifty
Dollars was voted from the peoples pocket
to the Dubuque guards, despite the evidence
at the same time furnished, that the citizens
Of the northwestern part of the state assem-
bled and drove back the Indians without pay
or charge, while the aforesaid guards were
attending to their various occupations at
home! After the swindle was effected, Gener-
al Childs admitted the claim to be unreason-
able, and this ackno ~ledgem mt Is well known
to tho Des Moines members and others.

Our New York Correspondent thus notes

Our New York Correspondent thus notes
the change IN the stock market:
"The change which has been realized in
the stock market within the past three weeks,
is one of those inconsistent, extraordinary
movements in financial affairs 80 frequently
me. with in Wall street. Less than sixty
days since quotations fo- stocks of all kinds,
were very much depressed, and ruled fifteen
and twenty per cent. below those now cur
rent. At that time there were no buyers in
the market, and the bears had full swing
They put out short contracts freely, and cal
culated confidently upon further fall of ten
per cent. at least, easy enough. Suddenly
the shipment of specie ceased, and the banks
commenced accommodating bullion. This ar
rested the downward course Of prices, and
beth classes of spectators paused in their
operations. The arrival Of two or three
steamers from California, with large remit
tauces Of gold, without corresponding ship
ment 10 Europe, had its effect upon finances
and the stock market took an upward turn.o
/ cat first the improvement was very grad
ual, and of very uncertain character
Prices fuctu..ed considerably for the time,
but finally the imitation became more deci-
ded and more permanent, until it has reached
an extent little dreamed Of, and not warranted
by the position of our financial affairs gen.
orally. As the banks accumulated specie,
they extended their loans to brokers, and not
to the mercantile classes. Money was loaned
freely on call, and stock spectators there
fore took precedence. The weekly returns ex-
hibited no extension Of facilities to the COM
mercial community; but money became easy
in Wall street, and the fancies were rapidly
run up in market value. Occasionally q fall
ure or two would be reported but it created
no excitement at the stock exchange, and
was only the talk Of day or two even among
those who suffered most.o
Cotton is frm-sales yesterday were 1000
bales on the spot. Flour heavy, with mode
rate sales. Corn easier. Delaware red wheat
brought So, loci as, l5c. Pernambucco SUI
gar in bags, sold at sc. New Orleans also
pretty freely for refining at 51c(95c.
