Disasters at Sea.
New YORK.. Oct. 23.-The brig Velocity
arrived here, reports encOunterDg hUr-
ricane and suffering much damage. On
the 9Th inst. met brig and schooner,
both disabled. On the 10Th was boarded by
the brig Ospray, of st. Johns, N. b., which
mad on board the crew of the schooner Sa-
tilla, of New York, short ofprovisions. The
Velocity being also short, was unable to
supply them. On the 2lst saw the steam
er Theodore d. Wagner, from Boston for
Charleston, on fire. Rendered them all the
assistance possible and got all the women
and children, sixteen in number, on board
the brig, when the crew finding 1t impossi-
BILE to save the steamer abandoned her,
thirteen coming on board the Velocity, and
the remaining seventeen going on board
the schooner Enoch Pratt, bound to New
York.
The bark Star King reports in gale on
the 10th she took from the bark Mary EliZ-
abeth the Captain and crew, twelve in
number. The Captain reported passing
the wreck of the schooner Mary with two
men on board, but was unable to assist
them. '..'-
The bark Chenesern reports on the 21st,
in latitude 81, 4S, longitude 70, "a, she saw
a screw steamer on fire, with another
steamer lying by her, supposed to have
taken her crew of. The one on fire sunk
at p. M. on the 22d.
The Fenians Preparing for a For
ward Movements.
New YORK, Oct. 23.-The Evening Ex-
press says the Roberts headquarters, on
DlOduWhyS dlC D6RllUlilR W Ult
animated appearance they presented be-
| fore the invasion OF Canada. This circum-
stance is explained by the fact that the
| President OF the Brotherhood and all the
subordinate officers throughout the cOun-
| try are engaged in making preparations
| for another campaign. A contract for
uniforms has been given to manufacturer,
and they will soon be ready for the Fenian
army. All the States have been divided
into Fenian military districts, and each are
ready to send their appointed quotas to the
field when called on. There is no truth
whatever in the report that Col. Roberts has
sold the arms under his control to Santa
Anna. The Colonel Indignantly denied
the rumor this afternoon. The uniforms
are to be nearly similar to those worn by
the United States army, with the eXcep-
| tion of the buttons. The caps will be or
| namented with band of green ribbon,
and the harp of Erin is to appear ON the
| front.
| Financial.
| New YORK, Oct. 23.-The Commercials
money article says: The stock market is
strong and somewhat irregular. There is
a very general feeling of uncertainty about
the future of the money market, which
] derives some encouragement from the tone
of feeling among the Banks. Bank officers
are not Offering, only to leading brokers,
| upon such easy terms as of late, and are
less disposed to put out money for thirty
days, even at an advanced rate of interest.
This morning the prevailing rate is 5 per
cent, though transactions on call at per
centar reported. A gradual process in
per cent. loans is going forward. Discounts
are quiet, the rate for prime paper varying
at 5@6 per cent, only very choice paper
being negotiable at the lower rate. At the
morning Board the clique stocks were firm,
but otherwise the market lacked strength.
| Governments are still quiet at about the
price of yesterday. Foreign exchange
continues very firm. The expectation of
Hong receipts having to be made on the
margin of the November coupons, induces
brokers to hold back for higher rates. Gold
shows rather more firmness, owing to the
advance in foreign exchange and the con-
sequent probability that gold may have to
be shipped on the payment of the Novem-
Der coupons. Loans are made at 1-6493-
GA per cent. ...a.
| The Dry Goods Market.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-The dry goods mar
ket opened cheerful this morning, with
rather more disposition to operate, al
though with no signs OF any great activity.
The stock in the cotton market yesterday
and the renewed activity precludes any
idea of reducing prices of goods, while the
| light stocks seem to make manufacturers
rather indifferent. They can afford to wait
for some accumulation. JObbers' prices:
