A Sudden Depression.
Fyo,a the AlBonv Arqus, Oct. II.

from the Albany Argus Oct II.
We have received considerable information con-
corning the state of affairs upon the 1sthmus OF
Panama from 1lr. Charles e. Perry, United states
Consul at Aspinwal, who has just arrived from that
port Mr.. Perry says that business generally was
very dull upon the Isthmus, and further decline ls
even looked for This state OF affairs is consequent
upon the opening of the Pacific Railroad, and
the transportation Of large quantities OF goods and
many passengers by that route instead of by
the way OF the Isthmns and the Panama Rail
road as formerly. The business of the mer-
chants of Aspinwall and Panama, who have
always depended largely on the custom OF the can,
fornia passengers, has been materially reduced anu
the hotels are also suffering from the withdrawal OF
a large portion of that traffic. Instead OF i9ur T
steamers month, as formerly, the Pacific MAIL
Steamship Company now send but TWO, ana Dut
comparatively few passengers are now being COZ
veycd by this route. The establishment ol the
Pacific Railroad has been severe blow TO the traniG
upon and by the way OF the Ishmus and the lorelgh
residents OF that locality not inclined to LOOK
with favor upon that great enterprise There Is a
prospect, however, OF Panama being made the
capital and seat OF government of the United States
OF Colombia, and that, with the addition OF the com,
mencement OF the proposed ship canal, would Ieud
! TO put another face upon matters.

Despatch to The Buening Telegraph.
New YORK, Oct. t5.-The Congressional Com
mittee met again to-day, and shipbuilding was
considered. A. G. Sinners, Naval Engineer,
said if we enjoyed the same laws in this respec
as England, we could build as cheaply of Ameri-
can material and superior construction. In Eng
land all material entered free of duty, and al
articles used by them came out of bond; hence
with no duty American iron was superior. If
the latter were received free of duty, it would be
eventually superseded by the former, under pre-
sent laws.

Mining stocks.

The San Francisco Bulletin says the mining stocks
sold in the Stock Board there are worth about
$4,000 600 less now than they sold for nine months
ago. Until the past six months mining stocks have
been fayorite and easily managed collaterals with
the banks and thus brokers ana others were largely
aided in carrying on their sharp operations; but OF
late bankers fight shy OF stocks. The belief appears
to be gaining ground among them that their money

who want it merely to create fictitious values III

FInE,-About O'Clock this morning the alarm
bells were Iung for fire on walnut street, west OF
Twentieth on reaching the locality the lremen
discovered that the premises NO 2OZ3 Walnut street,
occupied by Mr. j. Hayes Lnville, We're on fire. The
circumstances as folloWs:-Mr linVllle ana MS
family started yesterday morning for New forK,
leaving the house in charge Of two domestics Annie
Campbell and Susan Lee.
They built ire in the CRATE OIL the sttng-roOm ID
the second story, and kept it burning during the
day. At night blower was put in front OF it, Susan
with a friend-one Salie McFagan-whO, after
serving as domestic in the house OF Miss Blddle,
had amassed enough money to carry her TO ireland,
and was about departing ththeT. When the three
were in the house for the night, the dwelling was
locked up and all went to bed Susan and her friend
slept in the attic-Annie in the third story. About
O'Clock, as mentioned, the IRE broke out, and they
were all aroused by the suiiocating smoke. Annie
ESCAPED through the front door, the other two
through the trap in the roof thence into neghbor-
ing dwelling.
During the afternoon strong odor of something
scorching or burning was perceived in the house.
but as on q search being made, no Dire was dis
covered, the matter was not deemed of sufficient
importance to give any alarm.
II mas now been ascertained that the odor was
caused by the burning OF the Timmers and grder3
nnder the lOw-doWn crate in which the girls mad
Snit fire Zoo hot From these timbers, after the
servants had retired the fire communicated TO the
stting-room, consumed the back stairway, worked
its way into the back paror and into the eatry. IN
fact, the whole building was badly smoked and
burned and in addition fairly deluged with water
The loss, at the lowest estimate canh9t ia short o.
fgure is wanting. The building is presumed TO De
insured as well as its contents.
The place had a Mansard roof. 1t is the tirst time
that lire in this city has occurred in building sc
covered and as has been feared, under such roofing
the fire proved very stubborn
One OF the servants in the house, in her hurried
night, left $50 in money behind. The money wa
lost Miss Sallie McFagan likewise lost the sum o.
money she had saved to pay her passage to the oult
country" The insurance patrol carried the piano
and other valuable articles Of furniture, uninjured
out of the burning dwelling.
The dwelling No. 202l, adjoining to the east, oc
cupied by Mr.. George N. Alen was damaged bot
by fire and water.
THAT of Judge Porter, No. 2O25 was also injured
The Judge ana his family are still out OF town, no
having vet returned from their country seat
The house OF MT. G. B. Mount NO 2027, was like
wise slightly damaged by water.
