A Fatal and Distressing Acci-
dent-DenIh of Mr.. Moses
ErnmL

Frank.
A heart.rending casualty occurred
about IL o'clock yesterday morning, In
the confectionery store OF Mr.. Bloom
enstiel, on Washington street. by which
q young man, in the very prime Of life,
with scarcely moments warning, was
usbered from time into eternity aud the
dark unknown. Mr.. Bloomenstiel and
Mr.. j. b. Gotthelf, pswn-broker, each
occupy bali OF the same room, Mr.,
Frank clerking for the former aud Mr.,
Isaac GOtthelG for the latter. AT
about the hour named Mr.
Isaac Gotthelf was converslng with
Mr.. Frank across the confectionery
counter, when Mr.. Flanagan entered
and returned pistol 10 Mr.. GolthelE
which he had borrowed from him on
the day previous. Mr.. Go',beifis near
sighted, and was holding the weapon
close to his eyes exsmin lg 1t, when II
was discharged by some means and
the ball took effect in the right
side OF Mr.. Franks IL k, under the
jaw, passed upward Obhquely through
the brain, ana prouuceN Utmost instant
death. The unfortunate man exclaimed
"My God !" and fell TO the floor, bleed
ing protusely, while Mr.. Gotihelf stood
horrOr-stricken and almost paralyzed
with grief and terror. An inquest was
held, the jury returning verdict in &C.
Cordancs with the facts, and at half
past five o'clock, the funeral took place
under the charge of the X. s. B. Society
and was largely attended by friends
and acquaintances. Mr.. Frank was the
brother Of Mrs. BloOmensteil, twenty
Two years OF age, and q quiet, unob-
trusive, industrious young man.
The family was much attached
to him and are deeply distress
cd. Mr.. Isaac GOtthelf, who is in
poor health, has been so greatly pros
tr6ted by the event, in which fate has
made him the unhappy and unwilling
agent of death, that bis friends fear 1t
may seriously affect him. To the
family of Mr.. BlOomenstiel aud all con.
cerned, we tender our sincere sympa-
thies.

Mehemet ALI has been appointed
10 the command Of the army In Thessa-
ly, and Suleman Pssha recalled 10 Com

These measures give point TO rep0E,p
recently current, that Austria, add
probably other Powers, have brought
pressure at Constantinople, to save
Montenegro from being crushed, and
also with view of taking away from
ServIa one pretext for joining In hos

that we cannot do without that off,

The Cotton Exchange Meeting.
IMPORTANT PRocEEDMGs-cOMMI
APPOINTED.
AT the meeting held few days since
by the Cotton Exchange several i'm
portant resolutions were adopted,
which for the want Of sufficient space
have been necessarily laid over for
publication.
To each resolution a committee Of
three was appointed whose duty It is
10 see that every effort 10 made 10 place
the matter before Congress, at lie next
session, with the hope that at least part
Of the requirements Of our section, in
the shape OF public improvements, msy
be had. With the steady and persist
ent work Of the Committees, some
good may eventually come of It,
especially, as nothing has ever been
done for ne by the general Govern
ment. Underlying all measures of this
kind, there are always to be found
some movers In the matter, who have
by strong efforts, and great labor,
brought the subject forward in such q
way as TO finally lead 10 success.
The following are the resolutions
adopted, with the Committee as ap.
pointed affixed to each:
Resolved, That the long-agitated and
popular measure OF railroad from Vicks-
burg to San Diego, Is entitled to assist.
ance at the hands OF the United States
Government, which Is asked for by lie
managers. That the measure is essentially
National in its character, and was sO
recognized as long ago as 1860, when the
u. s. Congress passed bill giving to II
all Of the aid asked for by its then mana,
gers, but which did not take eject because
Of the political action Of the State Of Texas
looking 10 separation Of the states; that
since the Government has so Literally
subsidized q Northern route, the equality
OF the sections demands that the modest
assistance asked for the Southern route
should be granted.
