facts are these:-A man came into the hospital and
announced that seven men were In tug lying along
shore, who had been injured by an explosion. Dr..
Johnson the house physician OF this hospital, mme-
dlatey provided himself with stlmulans, surgical
dressings, &c, and fastened to their relief. Upon
his arriy al ut the tug he found the surgeon OF the
Ocean Queen on board. and upon consultation the
two physicians did not consider the injured men In
immediate danger which latter fact the sequel has
shown to be true. had they been dangerously
injured they would have been temporarily admitted
after examination, as has always been the custom
The tug proceeded with the men TO New York.

GOVERNMENTS STRONG.
The upward turn in gold and the government pur.
chase OF ve-twenties rendered the government list
buoyant; but the best prices OF the day were not
maintained to the close, the recent advance having

rise. The market closed strong, with the

THE PUBLIC DRBT STATEMENT.
The public debt statement for the month of Janu.

into account the accrued interest.
MONEY FOUR TO SIX PER GENT.
While money to-day was quoted four to six per
cent 1t was strictly speaking, more active. The
rates on cali among the stock houses were nominally
five to SIX per cent, but the business at the lower
rate was exceptional and confined to the early
hours OF the day; for after one O'Clock there was
fairly active inquiry a. six per cent which was the
highest rate also. Some OF the government dealers
had balances left with them at four per cent but the
general rate to the street government collaterals
was five. In discounts there is steady movement

GOLD sTRoNd-1l1A A1l1%.
The gold market was the subject of three several
influences In addition to the one general OF the
predominating large line OF imports These were
first. the heavy specie shipment to-day. which occa
stoned an advance TO 1113s; second. the apprehen-
sion that Mr.. Boutwell, may tomorrow set or the
bond purchases of to-day by selling an extra million
OF gold. which occasioned decline to 111S, and
third the impression at the close that the Bank Of
England directors may raise their rate Of discount
at their usual weekly meeting on Thursday, which
induced final advance to l11H. The specie ship
ment, which was nearly $780, Ooo comprised 100000
In double eagles, the balance being silver bars ana
Mexican dollars. The former item is significant in
showing the character OF the market As to the
extra sale Of gold, the only foundation for such an
anticipation is the temptation an ded Mr.. Bout
well to get good price for the government treasure
The expectation Of an advance In the Bank Of
England rate Of discount IS founded upon an I'M
preston that such step will be resorted to In
order to check any sudden deportation OF specie
from London to the Continent consequent upon
peace following the present situation of affairs at
Paris. The course OF the market is shown In the
