| NEw YoRK, March 25.-Affairs in Wall
street are extremely dull Private tele-
| grams from Europe report very fat mar
ket for American securities, with feeling
| of distrust in regard 70 the future course Of
such securities. The Gold Room was treat
ed TO an unusually large batch of sensa-
tional kilograms from Washington toward
the close of the day. First came thes an
nouncement that the San Domingo treaty
would be ratified, and afterward that it
would not; then the room was informed
that the May interest would be anticipated.
Still later it was reported that there would
be race between the Ways and Means and
Currency Committees to report the fund
ing bill, and the very last thing, the inevi-
was sure to pass.
Fictitious sales.
The Gold Room went into executive Sos
sion at o'clock, to listen TO the report of
the committee appointed to examine the
charges against a firm of making fictitious
sales. The committee reported the charges
true, but recommended The firm
was fined $500. The regular penalty is
expulsion.
Hope for the Missing Boston.
Capt. Bulwer, of the Helene Morian,
has arrived at Spithead in distress, from
New York for Antwerp. He states that he
left New York on the same day as did the
steamer City of Boston; on the night of
the 10Th of January, he met with hurri-
cane from the southeast to the southwest,
which, it seemed, took away his
foretop mast and jibboon, although he
had no sail set at the time, and his new
sails we're taken completely out of the gas
ket and blown away. He believes the City
of Boston must have been in the same hur-
ricane.
A writer Of letter from Halifax says:
The City of Boston which sailed hence on
the 2Sth of January last, has not yet ar
rived in Liverpool. THERE'S great anxiety
felt here for her safety now, and more
especially as there are so many of our
merchants on board She was deeply
laden with wheat in bags, being eighteen
or twenty inches deeper than the insurance
allows She.sailed from here on a Friday
noon, and we had fearful snow storm on
the following Saturday night If she en-
countered this there is no hope whatever
Of her ever turning up. | believe she was
in it, as the Orontes, which sailed from
here two days before, was caught in it off
New Foundland and nearly went down.
One of BaiIey's Deputies.
Emil J. G. Koop, formerly deputy IN
der Collector Bailey, was arrested under
the order of Judge Barnard, charged with
committing trespass upon the premises of
John Hash & Co., by breaking open their
safe and removing bonds and papers. He
was held in $4,000 bail. Judge Benedict
subsequently issued writ of habeas cor
pus, requiring the production of Koop be-
fore the United States Circuit Court to-
morrow, when arguments will be heard as
TO the right of continuing in force the or
der of arrest. Koop claims to have acted
under the order of Bailey and warrant
issued by the United States Commissioner.
