CONDITION OF THE INJURED.-A geDtles
man who visited the venerable Bishop
EARLY yesterday informs us that he is
better, !. g. he is quiet, and although
much bruised, he is not suffering
great deal of pain, except when moved.
His head is considerably bruised, and his
left eye very much discolored. He COM
plains mostly of pain under the right
shoulder when moved. He has no bones
broken, and did not yesterday spit blood,
as at first. II is now supposed that 1t came
chiefly from his mouth, his lip being con-
fused.
The Bishop is comfortably fixed at Mr..
Brummall's, about half mile from the
scene of the accident. Every attention is
paid to him. He conyerses cheerfully.
Mr.. OvERBY is much hurt and though
he is not out of danger, strong hopes are
entertained of his recovery.
Miss NEWMAN was, according to last ac-
counts yesterday, in a sinking condition,
and there were no hopes of her recovery.
THE TOBACCO ExcHANGE.-A meeting of
the tobacco commission merchants was held
in the old Tobacco Exchange yesterday
evening at 515 o'clock to make arrange
ments with Mcssrs. Harveys g. Williams
for the occupation of the new Tobacco En-
change, and to revise the regulations un-
der which the Exchange has heretofore
been conducted.
On motion, Mr.. P. A. Woods was ap-
pointed chairman, and Mr.. John G. SPOTS
secretary.
Messrs. Harveys s. Williams submitted
the following proposition as to- the terms of
the occupation of the Tobacco Exchange
RICHMOND, June IL, 1866.
Z" To the Board Of the Tobacco Erchange:
ave propose to fix the rent of the boxes
at the sum of S75 per annum for the double
boxes, and if desired by any two to occupy
a double box jointly, the rent will be S37 80
each and on all tobacco sold by persons not
occupying a box, the sum of II &c. on each
hogshead, box, or parcel will be charged.
This amount we consider too small for the
rent of the room, including water, servants
attendance and fire, and the delivery of
samples; but we think an amount suffi-
cient toI make up the deficit can be col
lected from business cards and foreign ope-
rators in the tobacco trade. The choice OF
stands will also contribute something.
Rent payable quarterly: premiums pay
able on the first day of July.
"We leave the proposition for your con-
Sidcration.
every respectfully,
"HARyEYS & WILIIAMs.'
After dcsultory conversation the pro-
position was adopted unanimously.
The meeting then discussed in ram
bling manner the question Of revising and
amending the regulations of the Tobacco
Exchange. The majority seemed inclined
TO leave the subject to future meeting OF
both sellers and buyers of tobacco.
Mr.. Thomas j. Spencer offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which was adopted:
Resolved, That the chairman appoint a
committee of five commission merchants
to revise and modify the old code of regu-
lations, and to report to meeting of the
whole Board, to take place on Saturday
evening next in the new Tobacco Ex-
change.
The following gentlemen were appointed
the committee in conformity with the re-
solution: Messrs. Walter h. Martin, p. d.
Mckinney, Thomas J. Spencer, h. ii. Di
brell, and D. T. Williams
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
