Albany Uve Stock Market. From the Evening JounuL', 3d. Bbkvbb With a slight falling off in the supply, as compared with last week, and without any apparent depreciation in the average qnality of the cattle.

Drovers are disappointed to find the market dnll, even at a slight decline from last week's rates. Very few have been sold, but what have changed hands wereparted with at a decline of J8 live weight. There are not many New York buyers up here, and those who have come, like buyers for the Eastern market, will wait until the close, in hopes of gaining greater concession. The following is our comparative statement of receipts at this market over the Central Railroad, estimating 16 to the car: Cor. week This week.

Last week, last year. 2,71 8.1156 9.480 Sheep 6.637 6.74S .8,933 Hogs 1,524 468 480 Both buyers aud sellers, so far as we conld ascertain, are agreed that prices have declined live weight, on certain grades, and we alter our quotations accordingly: This week. Last week. Premium 3AX 4XIX Fust quality Second quality. 8 6tA 8 3 Third quality H)i 2)tf9M Hoes.

The receipts at East Albany are enormous, and it now looks as if there would be little or no abatement in these heavy weekly supplies during the winter months. The explanation is, that at Cincinnati and adjacent points, where every season hitherto the slaughter has been heavy, there will be comparatively little packing this winter, owing to the civil war in Kentucky and the anticipations indulged in by some that the trouble may be extended into Southern Ohio. But for this, we would be in receipt of our usual supply only about 4,000 per week. As it is, the average is up to 20.000. For the week ending Nov.

21, the receipts at East Albany exceeded 25.000. and they are but little less for the week Just closed. The result is that the Albany. New York and Eastern markets sre overstocked with live hoirs. There are many more than the Eastern packers can conveniently handle, and prices are kept very low.

Sales during the week about 7.000 prime heavy corn fed (including one lot of 1,700 head at $3.55 100 at prices ranging from $3.373.60 10a lbs. There are some held at $3.75, bnt there are no buyers here at that figure, and the owners will ehip through to New York. lvXOlVliJTLXtY. Tbvbsdat Emms, Dee. 5, 1861.

There Is a better feeling here to-day with regard to the Issues of the Wisconsin banks. The fact that so large a number of these banks have agreed to abide by the provisions of the new banking law, requiring them to redeem at Milwaukee and Madison in coin at a rate not greater than i of one per cent, gives Wisconsin money definite value, and our people and bankers will know at what rates to take It. The really sound banks of the State are united In a bankers' association, and the banks that have for some months been received ss currency and have not appointed agents under the law and made arrangements to redeem, will be wound up without loss to the people by the bankers' association. Their bills will be received as Other currency, but they will not be again paid out. They will be exchanged for the securit ies ia the hands of the Comptroller, and the loss, if any, will be borne by the association.

There is very little news in financial circles here to-day. Money continues abundant for all the purposes of legitimate business. All pork and produce paper can be readily negotiated at the banks at 10 per cent the legal rate. Excbangeis still close. The Indiana Branches sold at per cent, premium to customers, while most, if not all, the other houses charged The latter expresses the real condition of the market.

The baying price is X. Gold is not in much demand. The selling price is per cent, premium, for retail lots. The brokers pay (g X- Su.wirin.-We quote the following from the Sentinel of this morning: Financial matters are working smoothly under SJie new banking law. Exchange is not as plenty as might be desired, but still the banks manage to supply the wants of customers at 1 cent.

prem. By recurring? to our files we find that at this time last year, exchange was scarce at 5 cent. prem. at the banks, and 62,7 per cent, outside. The highest rate that the brokers asked yesterday was yi cent.

But while exchange was up to 57 i cent, in December last year, money, snch as we had, was as plenty as dirt." Quite the reverse of this is now the case. Our currency is readily convertible into exchange or specie, but as compared with former times, money is decidedly scarce. Evidently the tendency of the new order of things will be to prevent inflation of values, to restrict speculation, and to connne business within wholesome bounds, and although the chaavse will not be agreeable to some, it cannot fail in the end to prove beneficial to the community at large. The calls for redemption yesterday were moderate, perhaps not exceeding three thousand dollars at any of the redeeming agencies. The redemptions were made at cent, disconnt in coin, or, if desired, for sums exceeding $30, in exchange at 1 cent.

The applications were chiefly from parties wanting small amounts of exchange, for which the brokers asked 1 cent. prem. Gold is relatively more plenty than exchansre, and some of the banks offer it at par for sight drafts fITl Von JCew York. The following are the quotations of the Stock Market to-day 1st board.

It is a noticeable fact, that the whole of this product was sold to Canadians, who seem to be the only purchasers at present of barreled pork.

About a week ago, when Mess Fork was field at $9.7510.00, there was good speculative inquiry, on American account, at but it is now doubtful if there will be much demand at any price till the English steamer arrives with the news of the result of the Slldell-Mason excitement. This same feeling Is also stimulating packers who are at work on English account tofhurry their meats forward to the seaboard as spcfOily as possible. The demand for Lard is very light, and the market shows a decline of 3n3 fcc, with sales of 200 tree prime leaf (steam) at 7c. Green Meats continue dull, especially Hams, sales of which were made to-day at SSfc loose. The receipts of Hogs to-day were light, amount ing to only 4,714 but this was in consequence of an accident on the Chicago, Burlington Quincy Railroad, by which three trains were kept back.

and the market was not at all favorably affected by the light supply, which opened dull and ruled fully 6c below the prices of yesterday. Upwards of 4,000 head were sold, chiefly to packers, at a range of gross averaging as follows CHICAGO DAILY MARKET. Thubsdat- Evrsrsa, Dee. 5, 1861. FLOUR Received.

The letter from Dr. James Hunter, which we publish in another column, will, we feel assured, be read with great interest. It is introductory to the full discussion of the Doe tor's views on the treatment of the affections of the throat and lungs.

The great experience which he has had, in connection with his brother. Dr. Robert Hunter, of New York, Initiating, as they have done, in this country, the system of inhaling medicines into the lungs, give weight to the views which he may advance to the public. The Doctor has opened an office for consultation at No. 11 Adams street, as a branch of their New York office.

Not Executed. A report published a few days since, in regard to the punishment by shooting, of a member of Col. Farnsworth's Cavalry Regiment, is now supposed to have been untrue. The corpse of a soldier of that command passed through the city, as stated, but he met his death from disease, while the man alleged to have been shot was here on the same day, en route for his home in Kane county, lis sentence having been commuted to expulsion from the service. It seems that he was subject to fits of an epileptic phase, and one coming upon him in the night, while on guard, he deserted bis post and retired to an adjacent hay stack.

These facts coming to light, alone saved him from suffering capL tal punishment. His name has not yet trans- fired. The "Malicious Case. This case was brought to a conclusion yesterday by the honorable discharge of the defendant, Thomas B. Lowther.

The evidence intro duced showed that the suit originated ont of revenge upon the part of some squatters whom Mr. Lowther had driven from his land In the town of Cicero, about two miles and a half from the city limits. The evidence upon the part of the complainants, that Mr. L. had fired their hay-stacks, was completely dissipated.

The defendant showed conclusively that he had burned off some weeds upon his land, and instead of burning the stacks, there was no hay to burn except some rotten re fuse, the stacks having been removed previous to the fire. On account of previous statements in our columns about this case, we gave a careful attention to the hearing yesterday, and failed to discover a scintilla of evidence against the defendant. The apparent cause of the suit, the discrepancy of the plaintiffs' testimony and their utter failure to establish their complaint, left the magistrate no alternative but an hon orable discharge.

An adjourned meeting of the ladies, to make preparations for the approaching FestivaL for the benefit of sick and wounded soldiers, was held yesterday afternoon in the lower room cf Bryan Hall, and fortunately, while the Illi nois State Horticultural Society was in ses sion la the upper room.

At the suggestion of Mr. Chase, Secretary of the Horticultural Society, the ladies made an appeal to the gentlemen for assistance in their praisewonny enterprise. They very modestly asked their influence In the rural districts represented by the members of the Society, for donations of poultry, butter. ehcese, apples, beans, beef, pork, and other et-ceteras essential to the good dinners they propose to give in Bryan Hall dur ing the week of the FestivaL The appeal was responded to with enthusiasm. and a contribution of J12.T5 was taken on the spot.

One man pled ged two barrels of apples others promised vegetables and poultry. while Champaign county stands pledged for air btuJieU of beam. Adepts as our Chicago ladies are in begging, when they have a good cause at heart, we inmatncy were never more fortunate or happier in their application for aid than when they appealed to the country members of the Illinois State Horticultural Society. If any other of our country friends would like the privilege of co-operating with the Chicago ladies in their movement to raise funds for the needs of the army hospitals. they may send their donations to the "Sanitary Commission, 41 Wabash avenue," by the 13th of December.

the Of to the so to the as can tu lief, the 3Ir. I D. in a The Board of Supervisors held its third cession Of the present term yesterday. The business transacted, with the exception of the following, was of an unimportant and uninteresting character. la the forenoon the following report was made by the war conmn.

fejjsse.tio This, it is estimated m-iTl le.ro h.Tif -l (WW nf one mill tax unused. The bill for shoes remains unpaid, as the shoes fnrnished were not considered in fitting ont the Irish Brigade, and were so much surplus without mnro value. There have been forwarded to Washington for allowance and payment, Bill to the amount of t.9?9.3T this there has been paid 3.083.9a Balance due $23,893.45 There are some Items, such as tobacco, nut megs. Ac that the liovernment will nut allow. The tobacco was not paid for, but the Committee agree pay for the same provided the Government will allow it.

A messenger was sent to the Hecker Reuinient. in Kentucky, to obtain the officers' signatures to bills in proper shape for Government vouchers, but Quartermaster Henry Wendt declined eignine them, though he had certified to the sab-vouchers savingthat lie understood that the amount thus expended had been donated by the conntv. and if he sianed the vouchers the Government would hold him accountable, and he had kept no account of the supplies. The sub-vouchers were sent to Washington with the bills, and your committee are sat it-tied that from the small amount of the bills for the service named, this irregularity will be overlooked. The bills and claims were placed in the hands of Hun.

Minmel Hoard for settlement, as he was poimr to Washington on other business, the com. mitu-e agreeing to refund him any expenses incurred on account of the county and for his services, thus far in part successful, we wish to express our obligations to him. This course was thought less expensive than employing a messenger expressly ou our own business. Your committee, not deeniine it advisable, for short a time before the meet in? of the Board, make arrangements for the relief of families in ciiy.tplaeed 1.600 of the money received, in the bands of the Vnion Defence Committee for disbursement, their basis of paying being the game oroerea oy me Doara. The In ion Defence Committee will report to the Board the amount disbursed, and the names of panics to whom paid.

It is probable that the unnsed war fnnd orders be disposed of at par. to those who hare taxes pay. fur the purpose of continuing the family re and your committee recommend that immediate steps' be taken in the matter. The Union Defence Committee are out of money, and the stoppage of this relief will cause mucb suffering. i ne vast accumulation ot ousiness at asmng-ton will necessarilv cause considerable delay in settlement of accounts now there, although Hoard succeeded in having them tneir reffniar oroer.

There are now between three and four hundred families that look to is for their support, and as Saturday Is the day on which they call for the weekly supply, it is necessary that action be immediately liad for their relief. It will require an appropriation of from 700 to $so9 a week to meet the absolute wants of these people, and since, without assistance, many, if not all of them would suffer for the necessities of life, the rae is one that appeals to us withmorethan common interest.

THIKB PAT OW TUB TtORTICUIf XI Ala t0.M.V110.. Address) of Dr. Hoy. BT "KCRA1." We introduce the proceedings of the third day of the Horticultural Convention, with short sketch of the address of Dr. Hoy, delivered on Wednesday evening, and which was necessarily omitted in our issue of yesterday.

The Dr. came well prepared with specimens of birds, insects and sections of wood to il lustrate his subject. Among all the birds of this section, there were but two that he held as avowed enemies and which he treated on all occasions, and these are the Cedar Bird and the small VroodpecKer, Known oi an iruu growers as the Sapeucker. This latter gentle man ne nciu in no goou eaieeiu, mm would recommend an indiscriminate warfare on him. This bird should not be confounded with the Nut Hatch, a similar bird, who has the habit of alighting on the trees with nis head down: nor should he be -confounded with two woodpeckers herewith presented, both of which are our good friends.

The Sap-sucker, both male and female, have red heads, but the male has a more brilliant crown. Some naturalists contend that this bird is an insect-eater, and that the excavations that he makes in the bark are for the purpose of exhuming borers and other insects but the Doe- tor said that notwithstanding all this, the bird is not an insect-eater, tnough ne may occa sionally take np a beetle, his food is the lifer and cvmbiutn bark of trees, and his drink the sap, hence the name, Sapsncker. ITS HABITS. The sap sucker is a migratory bird, and ar rives in Kacine, Wisconsin, about the 15th day of April, not varying more than five days. On his arrival be attacks the sugar maple, pine, spruce and silver leaf poplar; bnt the sugar maple is the favorite at this time.

He also attacks thrifty growing fruit trees. The damage to be guarded against at this time more particularly is to ine poplars ana mapies. At this time they come in flocks, more espec-ialy along the lake shore, and the whole army of "bovs with cross bows, shot guns, stones and clubs, and wage a war or destruction against them; but it is doubtful which does the most damage to the trees the birds or the boys. About the last of June they return to the deep woods to brecd.from which they make dailv forays to the orchards and gardens, do ing more or less damage. After the breeding season is over, the old birds, with their broods, return to the fields, orchards and gardens of the farmers and others, and go quietly to work to destroy thousands of valuable fruit.

shade and ornamental trees. Returning with the new recruits they attack the apple, the pear, and the Mountain Ash with a vigor that unless nicy are Kiiieu at ine outset, an immense number of valuable trees will be killed or seriously injured. This bird goes at his work of destruction quietly and with an insolence that is worthy of him. He cannot be driven off like other birds, but to stop his depredation, must be destroyed ana nne snot, that wonld not -penetrate the tree, is the pro per material to be used. vtniie in ine aeep loresi ne lives on toe Ironwood, the Linn, mainly, as these trees furnUh sap and an abundance of cambium and liber.

Yet they prefer the smooth, thrifty trunks of fruit trees, as is proved by their dailv visits to the orchards. The last of Oetoberthev leave forthetsoutti. and we see nothing more of them until April. Dr. H.

repeated his recommendation to destroy them on every occasion. i ne remainder or Dr. xlavs' lecture was very interesting, bnt our space will not per mit oi luruicr notice, it is to oe primea.

The first year the growth iow, but after that does better. A large number of members participated. The reault showed that in some places ine grow" slow, and in ot here good that some plants, from some unexplained cause, failed to grow, while others in the same soil did well.

It was pronounced bv several as capricious, but the superior quality of the fruit carried it triumphant, and it was added to the list by a close vnlfL Tm i.nrrow fonnd wianv friends for ita abundant crop of early grapes. Dr. Hoy sug gested that there was a large number oi spu- nons rinis in me msnpi.

To the Editor of the Tribune Sir In laboring; as I have done for many years to bring about a reform in the treatment of diseases oi the throat and lungs, I have received great encouragement from the press, through whose columns I have plainly discussed my my efTotrs in this behalf have been fully recognized by the public, and by many of my professional brethren amongst whom I have numbered numerous patients.

When I began the discussion of my views through the press in 1851, the universal practice was to pour medicines into the stomach to cure diseases of the lungs. The utter useless-ness of that practice was proved daily yet physicians prescribed and patients swallowed medicines in great quantities in the face of continued failure. The sale of patent medicines prevailed to a frightful extent. The victims of disease failing to obtain help from physicians, yet eager for life, ran after every pretension, and swallowed every nostrum presented to thciu. By this means they terribly vitiated their stomachs without benefitting their lungs.

They unfitted their digestive organs for the functions of health and nutrition, while their respiratory organs were left as clogged and foul as ever, if not rendered worse and more aggravated. The mortality from consumption was at that time greatly on the increase. Its incurability was held bv the Dro- fession and the public as sound doctrine, and certainly so long as disease was left to eat its way at leisure through the delicate membranes and air cells of the bronchia and lungs while the stomach was attacked aud destroyed by every vile compound that the ingenuity of man could invent so long, I say, consumption was incurable. Long before I gave publicity to my ideas I had become convinced that the old treatment was all wrong that, as the lungs and stomach had no direct communication, the absurdity of taking medicines into the stomach for a disease ofthe lungs was apparent, and I wondered at the placitnde of intelligent men in fursuing so useless a course for so many ages, found that through an inhaling instrument of mv own contrivance I conld administer snch medicines as I desired, in the form of vapor. and thus reach the seat of disease directly, and cause my remeaies to act witu greater certainty and effect than had hitherto generally been known, on the lining membranes and substance of the lungs.

Devoting my whole time to the speciality of diseases of the chest, I was enabled to make a correct diagnosis of each use, and prescribe accordingly, until at length accumulated experience has enabled me to systematize the treatment by inhalation to an extent never before attempted. The wide publicity which I gave to my views, in the city of New York, on the causes and proper treatment of consumption, at length fully opened the eyes of the people to the terrible and fatal errors of practice through which so many had been steadily going down to the grave. The effect was to cut off pretty gener ally tne wholesale use of nostrums for the stomach, and to turn the attention of both physicians and patients to Inhalation as the only rational method of treatment. What was the consequence In a few years from mv in troduction of the system and my exposure of A 1 .11 11 i i i- i ne oiu uuiucics, me mortality irom consumption in the city of New York" had diminished thirty per while the population was in creasing, ana yei np to uie aate oi tne inauguration of my practice in that city the mortality was on the increase. These are facts on record in tne city inspectors olnce.

wlicre they are weekly gathered from the returns of physicians. i nus nave my practice, my predictions and mv theories been vindicated not merely bv isolated cases, but by the official records of mortality of the city of New York. The proof is ample as to the efficiency of the practice I have so extensively advocated in subduing and eradicating pulmonary diseases where complete disorganization has not already destroyed the vitality of the system. And it is generally conceded that this practice of inhalation is destined to fill that fearful blank in medical practice involving the organs of respiration, into which, like an interminable gulf, myriads have in all ages sunk before the eyes of their friends, the profession and the world. I invariably find that mv best Patients are those who are the best informed particularly on the nature and causes of their disease.

I am greatly aided in the treatment ot any case by intelligence on the part of my patients. As all my directions and treatment are rational, I desire to sec them attended to in a rational manner, using adequate means for the attainment of desirable results. With this view, therefore, I purpose, from time to time, publishing in your columns, with your permission, practical letters oti the nature, causes and treatment of Catarrh, Bore Throat, Laryn-gites. Bronchitis, Asthma and Consumption. These letters will probably aid the afflicted in understanding meir true condition, and will enable them intelligently to judge for themselves between the absurd practice of treating the throat and lungs through the stomach.

and the more rational method of applying the iMCTfjiiuc pi ctii uru uircviiy to liic aeui oi iiie disease. Yonr obedient servant. Jaxes llnrrKR. M. D.

The Common Council met last evening' and resumed the Colby Investigation. Aid. Hiram Joy was the first witness called, and testified to certain conversations with Colby, respecting the Comptroller, the sub stance of which has been previously published.

The testimony of the Commissioners of Claims, A. H. Burley, Samuel Myers and Judge D. V. Bell, was also taken, showing that the claims for work done on West Randolph street and Western Avenue had been filed with them, and that Mr.

Colby had represented them as just claims. Aids. Titteworth, Cobb and Comisky, testified to unimportant circumstances attending the signing of the recommendation to the Common Council for payment of the claim, and to conversations with Mr. Colby upon topics heretofore detailed in our reports. The further hearing of the investigation will be resumed on Monday evening.

The Philips Copartnership Case. Philips tt. Philips et aL. ss. Circuit Court Cook County.

The defendants' counsel, Mr. Williams, closed the reading of the depositions on his side yesterday noon, and rested hio case. The defendants' proof, from what we are able to father, mainly relates to statements made at ifferent times by the father, claiming that he was not in partnership, and was sole proprietor of the business and property also, the depositions of the other sons "denying that they were partners, or had any interest in the business. It was also test i tied, that ten or twelve years ago the plaintiff had keen sworn as a witness for his father in some justice's suit, and stated that he was not in partnership with his father; the defence contending that he is estopped from claiming to be a partner. The prolixity of the case is owing in some measure to the very long cross-examination of the sons who arc defendants with their father in the case, twelve days having been taken np ia this way.

At the close of the defendants' case, the complainant's counsel gave in a mass of rebutting proof, mostly relating to the statements of the parties. Mr. Windett will not open his argument for plaintiff until some time next week. Rleetlng of the Donslas- monument Astoclatlon.
