Extract from the minutes of the Commissioners of Finance.

True copy. Jno. A. Thompson, Clerk. December 19, 1856.

All of these papers were referred to the special committee above named. A Horrid Occurrence Yesterday afternoon, about half past two o'clock, a scene, terrible and foarful in its character, and calculated to appaU the stoutest heart, occurred at the public house of Mr. Henry Erisman, on the northeast corner of Bond and Lancaster streets. At that hour the word came into the street that a "murder had been done" that a husband had slain his w.fe. It was the impression, at once, that death had followed the violence, and Dr.

Cunningham, coioner, was sent for. He went to the place and found a wman, Mrs. Rebecca Lynch, in an apparently dying state, having received some eight stabs in her person, in the region of and near to vital parts, said to have been inflicted by her husband, William Lynch. As soon as Dr. Cunningham saw her he sent for Prof.

Monkur, and the two up to five o'clock did all they could to relieve her, but with slight hopes of her recovery. It was discovered that some eight wounds had been inflicted with a knife five were In the chest, one of them through the right breast, two Immediately in front between the breasts, two below and two in the back of the neck, while one was in the hand, as if occurring while there w'as an endeavor to ward off a blow. She bled copiously, and of course sunk under such a depletion. The phvsicians could do nothing but stimulate in order to keep her system up, and administer anodynes so as to make her quiet, when they migh be "able to ascertain further as to the injuries. At the hour we left the extreme bleeding had measurably ceased, but the apprehension was that there was an Internal hemorrhage.

She was entirely sensible, and spoke feelingly In reference to the act of her husband, and desired that he should not be arrested. There was net much expectation of her recovery. The circumstances, as we learn, attendant upon the commission of the murderous deed are as follows Mrs. Rebecca Lynch, widow of Edward Frederick, some four months since became married to her present husband, Wm. Lynch.

For some cause he had been arrested and sent to jail. A short time since he was released and came home. His conduct to his wife was represented as anything but that which should characterise such a state. Yesterday he eame into the house, embraced his wife and kissed her; he then made familiar with his wife's sister, when suddenly turning he drew a knife, and attacking his wife inflicted the wounds above no'ed. This transpired in a moment almost, in a room on the lower floor in rear of the bar-room.

He immediately left, and at last accounts had not been arrested. No positive or immediate cause is suggested for the act. The knife with which the deed was committed was not found, but the wouoded woman describes it as a black handled one, with a blade about five inches long. He left the house with a similar knife in his hand, wiping the blade of the blood upon it as he departed from the door. It is to be hoped that his arrest will be promptly effected.

There appears to be a great deal of dissatisfaction and mutual ill-will growing up between the American and British merchants in the ports of Shanghae and Fuchau, in China.

The New York Herald thus sums up the main facts: In the latter port the difliculty arises out of tbe fact that since early last summer American merchants have by permission, or rather by direction of the United States Consul, refused to pay the customs duties on the merchandise which tbey export. This measure has been adopted for the purpose of coercing the Chinese authorities at Fuchau to deliver up the murderers of Mr. Cunningham, an American resident there, who was killed under circumstances which led to the belief that his death was the result of a native hatred to foreigners. The Mandarin professes inability to arrest the guilty parties as they are not known; but the American Consul and community persist in their demand, and resolve, until it be complied with, to withhold the payment of duties. Guarantees are, however, required by the Consul from the consignees, so that no ultimate may accrue to the Chinese treasury if the difficulties should be arranged.

In the meantime, however, the British merchants there conceive it to be a great hardship that they should be forced to piy port duties, inasmuch as the Americans, who do not pay them, can consequently undersell them in the European and other markets. A meeting was therefore held at the British Consulate on the 22d of September, 18.56, at which Mr. Med hurst, the Consul, presided, and at which a resolution was adopted declaring it to be the riehof British merchants to enjoy the same privileges as Americans that is "that the duties be not collected nor paymeist required the payment of arrears of all American duties is enforced and matters are placed on a former footing." Floats at Sea. The following curious, singular and interesting voyages of bottles thrown into the sea by navigators for the past ten years was compiled by Capt. Beecher, editor of the English Nautical Magazine A good many bottles thrown into the sea next to the African coast found their way to Europe.

The bottle seems to have anticipated the Australia Panama route, having traveled from the Panama isthmus to the Irish coast. Another crossed the Atlantic from the Canaries to Nova Scotia. Three or four bottles thrown into the sea by Greenland mariners on the Davis Strait landed on the northwest coast of Ireland. Another made a very curious trip; it swam from the South Atlantic Ocean to the west coast of Africa, passed Gibraltar, went alons; the Portuguese coast to France, passed Brest, and was finally picked up on Jersey Island. The direct line touches at least all these places, and makes it more than piobanle that it took this route.

One bottle was only fund after sixteen years' swimming; one after fourteen, and two after ten. A few only traveled more than oce year, and one only fi ve days. This last was sent off by the Captain of the Hace Horse, on the 17th of April, in the Car-riVean Sps. and was found on the -2-2d, after having gone through three degrees of longitude, in a westeily direction. Capt.

McClnre, of th Investigator, well known since his discovery of the Northwest Strait, threw a bottle Into th? sea in lSiiO, on his wray to Behring's Straits. It swam 3.600 miles in 206 days, and was picked up on the Honduras coast. Arrival of the Bark Resolute in England. The arrival of the Arctic exploring bark Resolute Et Portsmouth, England, was briefly announced in the foreign news by the Europa We have now the following fuller account: Portsmouth, Dee. 12, 1856 The Resolute, in charge of Commander Hartstein, of the United States Navy, anchored at Spithead this afternoon.

The weather was so foul that all communication with the shore was abandoned for the day. Captain Hartstein succeeded in sending a letter by a pilot to Popalaids, the United States vice consul, informing him of the impossibility of personally coming on shore this afternoon to pay his official respects to the authorities. The Resolute arrived under the American ensign and pendant; after she had shored sise hoisted the English white St. George ensign alongside of the American. She is to be brought into Portsmouth harbor to-morrow.

Great preparations were making at Portsmouth to receive the officers ef the Resolute in a manner worthy of the British nation, and worthy of the -ift they brought. Captain Osborn, of the Royal Navy, left London on the morning of the 12th to formally receive the Resolute. The "Gforgia Duel." Mr. B. H.

Hill. the the Georgia Fillmore elector who was challenged by the Hon. A. II. Stephens, has answered the denunciatory letter of that gentleman.

The following extract contains the pith of it: "If the invitation to mortal combat is intended as a meie formal occasion to exchange a few harmless shots, and then have an adjustment, I can only say I Lever engage in farces, nor make ffigned issues. If I could be made conscious that I had done you injustice, I should deem it a duty to repair it, and should not wait first to be shot at. If you did me injustice, I met the occasion with the remedy, and it does seem, made a shot which produced a wider if not deeper sore than any within the power of powder and ball to produce. "Now, sir, (as I always speak plainly,) I wiil only fidd that I know of nothing which has occurred between you and me which could authorize or justify a duel; and while I have never at any time bad an insult offered me, nor an aggression attempted, I shall yet know how to meet and repel any that may be offered by any gentleman who may presume upon this refusal or other wise."

The following communication was sent by the Mayor to the First Branch of the City Council last evening: Mayor's Office, Baltimore, Dec. 29, 1556. To the Honorable the Members of the First Branch of the City Council of Baltimore Gentlemen In accordance with the resolution passed by your honorable body, on Tuesday last, I waited upon the President of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, on Wednesday morning, at the office of the Company. Satisfied from my Interview, after urging the friendly disposition of the Council, and their great desire to bring about a satisfactory adjustment of the matter at issue betweea the two corporations, that no definite answer could be given to my application wltLout a meeting of the Board, I addressed a communication to Mr. Brooks, stating that in my judgment the only mode of ascertaining the sense ot the Board would be to convene the directors at the earliest practicable day, and named Wednesday as a co-aveaient period for said meeting.

To this note Mr. Brooks replied in a communication, informing me that he would convene a meeting of some of the directors on Friday evening, and deferring the matter until they had actea. On Saturday Mr. Brooks made me an eflfro.ial communication, a copy of which is herewith annexed. It will be found, from this communication, that Mr.

Brooks has referred certain questions in reference to said dividend to the counsel of the company, and promises to call a meeting of his B-ard as soon as he receives a reply. It is with the deepest regret that I am unable to make a more favorable report at this time; and I feel it due to your honorable body to state that, so far as my communications have extended, I have so reasonable prospect that anything can be done by negotiation towards the object contemplated in your resolutions. With great respect, your ob't servant, Thos.Swann, Mayor. Office Balt. and Ohio Railroad, Dec 27, 1357.

Hon. Thos. Swann, Dear Sir: I received yours-of the 24th enclosing resolutions Dassed bv the First Branch of the City Council on the 23d inst. L'nderi-tandios that thev would be leased to have this Board called at an early day with a view to a reconsideration of the vote by which tbe extra dividend was declared, 1 feel very desirous to meet the views of the Council without any unnecessary delay, bat believing that great doubts exist as to the legality of reconsidering the vote, after the dividend has been declared, and published in tbe papers of the State and city, and tte books closed preparatory to making such dividend, aid larjre amounts of 'the stock having been sold with tne dividend attached, I have thought it only prudent in my position to consult counsel, and ascertain whether there is any legal difficulty tint would prevent a reconsideration of the subject. I have propounded thee questions to the counsel of the company, and expect an early answer, and if there should aprear to be legal difficulty to rvent a reconsideration, I shall feel it my duty to call a meeting of the Bourd at as early a day as will give the State directors an opportunity to attend.

Yours, Tespectfutiy, C.

Brooks, Pres. On the reading of the above communication, Mr.Alnutt offered the following preamble and resolutions, which were read and refered to a special committee, consisting of Messrs. Alnutt, Hynes, Boyd, Howard, Pinkney and Crowley: Whereas, in obedience to the requirements of an ordinance passed and approved on the 27th of December, 1853, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company has deposited with the Register a mortgage, wherein said company pledge all their real and personal estate, road or roads, the tolls and revenues, as security to the Mayor 8nd city council of Baltimore for the payment of the prlnc! pal and interest of the loan of five millions thereby made: And whereas, the Mayor and City Council in granting to the said company the said loan of five millions of dollars, upon the security of the said rel and personal property, had no reason to contemplate that the said company, then in great distress and embarrassment, would, before the payment of said mortgage debt, encumber the rev enues ef said road by any other burdens than these which were required for its efficient and judicious management: And whereas, the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, in their capacity as mortgagee of said read and its revenues, are entitled in law, and bound by their duty as guardians of tbe public interest, to take care tbat the security relied upon by the corporation at the time of granting said loan shall not be impaired by unlawful, improvident or extraordinary dividends of said revenue: And whereas, the said Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, after paying to its stockholders two regular dividends of three per cent, each in tbe year 1856, have lately declared a dividend extraordinary of thirty per payable in the obligations of the company, bearing interest: And whereas, the said dividend, if persisted in by said company, will impose upon Its tolls and revenues, for five years to come, an annual charge of one hundred and eighty thousaud dollars, without any addition to Its means, and without any consideration whatever: And whereas, such a gratuitous diversion of the tolls and revenues of the company is a manifest violation of the spirit of the contract of said company in executing said mortgage, and absolves the city of Baltimore from all obligations to furnish further aid under a contract thus deliberately violated by said company: Be it resolved by the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, Thatuntil the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company shall rescind their resolution of the 17th Dec, declaring an extra dividend of thirty per cent payable in bonds or certificates of indebtedness, the commissioners of finance be and they are hereby Instructed to refrain from making further sales of the stock authorized to be issued under the ordinance of the 27th Dec'r, 1853, and the Register be and he is in like man-ner instructed to refrain from paying over to said Serious Accident on thi Harlem Railroad. A Number of Passengers Injured. The express train on the Harlem Railroad, which left New York for Albany on SatuTdny afternoon, met with a serious accident on Sunday moruing, near Turner's Station, by the breaking of a rail, which threw the train from the track, I injuring the conductor and six or eight passen gers, two of the latter quite seriously.

The Tribune says: The engine and tender passed over the Injured rail in safety, but the baggage car and first passenger car were thrown off the track; the second passenger car was thrown on its side, and the third turned completely upside down. There wen. at the time, about one hundred and twentv- flve passengers on board. The scene for a time I was one oi me wuaesi cuuiusmu, me air Deing rent with the cries and groans of the injured. Conductor Hills, though considerably injured, having sustained severe contusions on his left side, arm and back, broke through one of the windows and dispatched signal lights on the road about a mile distant from each end of the disabled train, in order to prevent the occurrence of further accident.

The male passengers in the first car having escaped uninjured, forthwith set about relieving those in the other cars, and after considerable delay all were got out, when it was found that several had received serious if not fatal injuries. A lady about 45 or 50 years of age had her left trm badly fractured, besides being otherwise in-juied. A gentleman about 40 years of age was found to be insensible and badly cut and bruised. The remaining passengers in the car thrown on its side, and the car turned upside down were more or less injured about the head and body. Cushions were taken from the cars and beds made, on which the injured were placed and made as comftrtableas possible The name-s of the injured are as follows: Mr.

S. Gaskill, of Albion, New York, severe contusion of spine; Manly W. Kennedy, of Buffalo, had a severe cut on the back of his right hand, and contusions about the body; Mrs. Thompson, of Wrilliamsburgh, had her hed bpdly cut, but not dangerously; Mrs. W.

Higbie, of New York, left arm fractured; Mr. George Ayrold, of New a severe wrench of the left leg; Mary Holmes, of Ireland, and another Irish girl, name not known, sustained severe contusions of the spine. The other passengers, names not known, though badly bruised, were able to resume their journey. The Passengers of thr Lyonnais. The steamship Europea, it appears, fails to bring the expected confirmation of the report brought by the Canada that a number of the passengers of the lost steamer Lyonnais had been rescued.

It is now feared that the report was founded on a misapprehension, and that none of those unfor. tunate passengers has escaped alive. The agent of the Lyonnais, ia New York, had letters from Paris to the 10th which make no mention of the rescue. The Courrier du Havre, of Dec. 8, thus speaks of the rumor: Bordeaux journal.

La Gironde, has published a despatch announcing the sarfety of a boat containing Captain Devaulx of the Lyonnais, and fifteen of her crew. We have the painful conviction that La Gironde ws in error. 'La Gironde does not indicate tbe origin of this dispatch, and the bjuse of Gauthier Freres has received nothing in relation to this If Captain Devaulx has been picked upbya vessel coming to Europe, and conld not send news of his safety to his family, why could he not as well have sent the news to his employers? Besides, it is three days ago that La Gironde published this dispatch, which doubtless grew out of the safety of the mate of the Lyonnais, 5d. Lugaiere, ar tbe men who were in the boat picked up by the Elise." The hypothesis is but too probable. It has become still more so to us, for if it could have been contradicted at all it would certainly have been during the five days which elapsed between the article of the Courier and the sailing of the Europa.

A Walking Jewel Cask. The Moscowcor-respondent of the London Times gives a portrait of Prince Esterhazy, as he appeared at Lis own state ball: "He was dressed with all that wonderful and yet tasteful magnificence which has made his name famous; the dark sable-trimmed pelisse, with streams and likes of diamonds and pearls studding every fold and filtering throu eh every crevice the color of which, whether puce, or black, or deep blue, I cannot determine; the tunic coveied from throat to waist with orders in diamonds, crosses and badges of knighthood, riband fcnd stars, and precious stones; the purple or maroon colored boo's crusted with pearls and diamonds, and the sword with its hilt a very mirror of light." In some countries the Prince would be denominated a "snob." Walker's Condition.

"Within the last thirty days our army has lost 400 men by death in the hospital, 100 have been shot, 50 have deserted, and over 300 are now on the sick list. We tave little medicine, but poor physicians are plenty.

We can muster, all told, but 3110 men fit for service. The enemy number at last 5.000 men, amcne whom are many well-drilled F.uropeans Englishmen, Germans and From this vou may judge what are our hop-s and anticipations." Celebration at Cincinnati. The pioneer settlers of Cincinnati had a banquet in that city en Friday evening. The Commercial says: So hale, cheerful and venerable a company of old men we have seldom seen.
