the latter place awaiting its arrival.
In mercy to the memory of Eaton, who was one
OF their associates, we refrain from delineating the
characters OF which the greater portion of the mass
was composed Suffice it, they were not the most
srepectabe.
During the evening regular old Irish Catholic
fWake" was celebrated over the remains by the
friends and relatives of Eaton. They who were not
privileged TO enter the house and participate crowded
around the door and listened eagerly TO the noise
Within Early this morning the same crowds We're

About half-past 10 O'Clock the hearse arrived, and

grafton.
San FRANCISCO, April 9.-The fire ragged all
day in the mines at Gold lFAl. The opinion now
prevails there that the mines are all seriously
damaged. The heat is 80 great from the shaft
of the Crown Point mine, that the buildings and
hosting works in danger of being CON
suIned. The shafts of the Yellow jacket, Ken
tuck, and Crown Point mines are flooded and,
by means of pipes inserted, steam is forced down
the pipes to smother the flames.
1t is now thought that the fire is burning in the
eight hundred feet level Of the Kentuck mine, a
passage to it having been forced by heavy ex-
plosion. No more bodies have been recovered
from the burning mines to-day.
The origin of the fire is doubtful Some per-
sons allege carelessness the part of the men at
work in the mines others attribute the origin to
an explosion of tire-damp.

New YORK, April 10.-From private sources
we have the terms recently accorded by the
English Government to the Hudson Bay Com
pany, alluded to in cable telegrams.
The Crown pays the company e300,0 and
comedies $4,000 acres In return the Hudson
Bay Company gives up its claim, which is 400
square miles larger than all Europe. The com
pany now virtually ceases to exist,
Its profits are known OF late years to have been
enormous, but have been concentrated by large
nominal additions of stock. All claims of the
company could have been taken away by Great
Britain if the former had not accepted these pro-
positions. The Canadian Government has been
very active in bringing about this result, the
Bay Company have recently been infringing upon
their rights.

Saturday, April 10, 1859 4


In the Money market proper there was bare
supply of currency to-day. The bank deposits
have fallen so low, pending the late pressure,
that little latitude is left for the exercise of dis
cretion, and caution in the transaction of loans
Is imperative
This condition of the market tends TO keep
up the rates at present high-water mark, and, as
the process of recovery Is generally slow one
in such cases, the prospect Ia not very encourag-
ing. The banks affect inability to discount even
a moiety of the best paper offered, which is
therefore forced upon the open market and sub
jected to a severe shave. The tendency Is TO
check enterprise and to reduce the aggregate
volume of trade to the present low level.
We have no change to note in the regular
market rates for call loans, which may be quoted
n0mlnally at z per cent. on Government eollate-
rails aud at Say per cent. on miscellaneous secu-
rites. The rates for prime mercantile accept
ances varied greatly with circumstances, ranging
between 9dl2 per cent.
Government securities are comparatively quiet,
and prices are unchanged. Gold opened weak at
1925, and advanced gradually to 1885,
1he Stock market was moderately active this
morning, and prices generally were steady. State
loans were quiet at former rates. City Is were
stronger selling at 10l a for the new iseues
Government bonds were held with more cou-
hdence.
The demand for Reading Railroad has some
what fallen off, and prices were weak at 1870
461s. Minehl Railroad sold at 81; PennsySy Syania
Railroad mt 59l9; Camden and Amboy Railroad
ut l243a; and Philadelphia and Erie Railroad,
which was greatly depressed, at 2S4, with large
offerings at this figure.
Canal stocks attracted but little attention.
