market to-day was uncommonly dull, sales
aggregating only 10l, 900 shares. The con-
tinued falling off Of business is ascribed TO
the heat. which caused a very slim attend
ance OF operators and brokers o. the

throughout, and generally prices show an

est stocks. The changes in other shares
were confined to small fractions. The only
important reaction occurred after the Sc
cond call, when prices yielded sas per
cent. but arally followed, and the market
closed firm. Toe strength OF speculation
in the face OF the dizziness was due to the
report OF the Agricultural Department,
made public this morning, and to rnmors
that representatives OF the trunk lines were
in session to-day, endeayoring to settle
their differences

anything more about his trip.
As to the "Malone proclamation" pub

different opinion As to the regularity OF
Bradys nomination, and do not think A
vote cast for any other candidate than
Brady will necessarily be "a shot fired

in this city to-day says: We ask each fur
mace OF the country to join in movement
looking to the restriction Of production on
plan that shall be so broad as to take in
the peculiar circumstances Of each. The only
terms laid down as to restriction are that
il shall take place within the next six
months. and that the restriction shall be in
such n way and at such time as shall suit
the convenience Of the furnaces. either by
banking for one long period or for several
short periods within this time, or by
blowing out earlier and starting later than
contemplated, or. where the concern has
several furnaces. by putting one or more OF
them out Of blast. or by running furnaces
at reduced capacity. In addition to this
il is contemplated in the plan that il the
restriction OF production should result in
the price advancing to 60, or the stocks At
the furnaces being reduced to 100000 tons,
then the agreement will no longer be bind

SEPTEMBER IL, 1854.
In the Mayors Court this morning the
negroes Burwell Cole and William Wright,
who were arrested two or three days ago
on the charge of burglary, were arraigned
for examination. The prisoners both bear
a bad reputation. Cole has served
term in the penitentiary and Wright
has served 8 term in the jail OF Surry
county for larceny. 1t would seem from
the evidence this morning that these two
men had gone regularly into the burglary
business. Among the stolen goods found
IN their possession were silver spoons,
knives and forks, crOckery. clocks, glass
jars, cloths, coats. pants, cigars, &C., which
were identified by Eve different persons
whose dwellings or stores had been
robbed within the past few nights.
The two men were sent on to the
October term OF the Hastings Court for
trial, each one on fYe separate charges OF
HOUSEKEEPING. Susan Spurlock, the wO-
man In whose house the prisoners lived,
and where the stolen property was found,
wss also sent on for trial. This woman
sisted that Wright was going TO be married
shortly. and was collecting materials
with which &c begin Housekeeping. A
quantity Of other plumber captured from
these parties is held for identification.
The route Of the Virginia and Carolina
railroad out from this city will run direct
ly by Dinwiddie Courthouse. The depot
buildings will be located near the corner
OF High and Market streets. The projected
line through this city strikes through thir-
teen houses-stores and dwellings. The
move to condemn some OF this property
will be vigorously fought next week in the
courts.
The two wings OF the Republican party
held meetings at Prince George Courthouse
to-day. Both were well represented by
speakers. Letters from a number Of lead
ing Republicans have been received here
endorsing the revolt against Malone.
Some Of the writers express the fear that
Evans will be bought OF. There is no prob
ability OF such 4 thing. The attempt has
failed. and Evans says there Is not money
enough in the United States to buy bis
