Horrible Rumor ok Piracy. —The Buffalo 
Republic has the following rumor of piracy on 
the lakes: 
A rumor has been current for several days on 
our docks that the schooner Robert Willis, whose 
sudden disappearance on Lake Michigan last 
fall was noticed at the time, and from which no 
intelligence was ever afterwards received, had 
been captured by the Mormons of Beaver ’Is¬ 
land, her captain and crew massacred, and the 
vessel unloaded and scuttled. At the time of 
her loss the Willis was bound from Chicago to 
this port, with a cargo of wheat, and was last 
seen by the schooner Lansing, on the 2i2d No¬ 
vember, off Sheboygan, bound up the lake, in 
a very heavy north-east gale. The news of her 
capture, <fcc„ is said to have been received thro’ 
a Mormon who escaped from the community at 
Beaver Island, and who has made oath to the 
facts above stated. It is also said that the Uni¬ 
ted States steamer Michigan has been sent to 
the Island to look into the affair.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
Tiierf. have been no arrivals from California during the 
week, although two Steamers are now fully due, and look¬ 
ed for hourly at New York. The specie exported during 
the week foots up at $1,069,000; making since January 1st, 
an aggregate of $.33,421,000. 
The New York money market is reported stringent ; and 
the Times says the city balances and credits of the country 
Banks having become exhausted, their circulation is sent 
home for redemption. This compels them to offer for 
sale, or hypothecation, a large amount of State stocks, for 
the purpose of raising money to meet the call for the re¬ 
demption of their bills. 
The amount of exports, other than specie, for the week, 
is $1,115,900, and of imports for the same lime $2,775,747; 
total imports for the year, 8155,983,000. 
Several distinguished legal gentlemen, including Judge 
Bronson, Ciias. O’Coxor, and Daniel Lord, have pub¬ 
lished opinions that the New York and New Haven Rail¬ 
road Company are legally hoklen for the $2,000,000 spuri¬ 
ous stock issued by Robert Schuyler. If this opinion be 
sustained by the Courts, it reduces the actual value of the 
stock two-fifths, and is a sufficient punishment on the 
Company for not looking more closely to the conduct of 
its agents.

increase of the extensive National Circulation 
it has already attained, we design to materially 
improve the forthcoming volume in
