NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 9, 1842. Opening of the Spring Trade—Advertising, The Spring trade for the year 1842 is beginning to open about these days, in this commercial metropo- its, on a new and important footing. The auspices ere highly favorable—the prospects cheerful. From all the events taking place around us,and from the remarkable facts developed relative ‘o tae annnal productions of this remarkable country, it is very evident, that ia every species of wealth and industry, this noble country is richer, healthier, happier, than the most sanguine imagined. The applications for getting rid of their debts, under the new Bankrupt Law, seem to be utterly insignificant in point of numbers, influence, or character. Not two hundred persons, in all our large cities, have yet applied, and those are just such persons as never add any thing to natural wealth or natural industry. It istrue the debts of some of the States appear large and very heavy, amounting to about $200,000,000—but when it is known that the surplus wealth of this country, for one year, with economy and prudence, is capable of paying up one half of the debt, who should be frightened, or talk of repudiation abcut the interest? With an annual produce, in agriculture, fisheries, mines, forests, and manufactures, equal to 1600 mil- lions of dollars, it would seem to be very easy to re- erganize anew the state and general government finances—to manage the curreacy—and to complete all really useful public works, be they railroads or canals. Why then should not trade revive, and publie and private credit be invigorated, by pur- euing a right and honest course of policy? There is no obstruction, but what we find in the clamora of a few paltry speculators out of Congress and State Legislatures—and the folly and squabbling of many foolish legislators in both such public bodies. Under this general aspect of affairs, there is every prospect that the trade of 1812 will revive—that pub- lie and private credit will come up again—that the country will go on to prosper, by pursuing right prin- ciples. The first thing to be done, is, for Congress at once to stop their squabbles, and to settle the currency and other questions. The next thing is, for all the suspended banks that can resume, to resume at once —and to compel the rotten banks to wind up—dis- mise their incompetent or dishonest officers—and make them farmers, to gain a livelihood. Toomany have crowded the commercial and financial ranks of life,and too few have turned their attention to agricul- ture and honorable labor, which will always return an equivalent, equal to human comfort and suste- nance. In this city, the prospect o; real business has not been better since 1336. It is true Wall street is down,and mapy of the speculators there are in agony —but Wall street is not New York—nor is New York the State—nor is the State the whole Union. There is a vast quantity of healty business doing here, very quietly, on the right principles—eash or short eredits; and if Philadelphia, Baltimore, Mobile, New Orleans and all the other large cities, would close up their retten banks, and compel their good banks to resume specie payments, all would be as merry as a church bellina spring morning. Take an instance—Buaffalo, in this State, is without a bank—all are gone—yet we are aformed that the prospects for 1842 in Buf- fato, fer.a good sound business, were never better. In Pitteburgh, they have on the stocks for this year, about 20 new steamers. This is a sample of ail the great inland commercial towns. With these general views, based on unquest:ona- ble facts, we are positive that the trade for 1£42, will be better than that for any year since 1835, provided the commercial and financial classes, make the start on right principles—such as cash and short eredits—a paper Currency invariably payable on de- mand in epecic—and the resuscitation of public credit, by the imposition of taxes, by Congress and the States, to pay their expenses honestly—and to meet the interest on their public debts. Let us not be any longer the sport of rascally politicians—President manufac- turer, dishonest fiaanciers, or bankrupt speculators. It is time, therefore, for our commercial men to begin moving—and the first movement to be made, is to advertise liberally and largely in those news- papers that advocate sound doctrines in trade, and have a general circulation over the whole country among the best andsoundest businessmen. Among the first of this class is the New Yonrx Hrraup, which has a circulation of nearly thirty thousand, throughout the Union, emong the cash and short credit men of business. A word to the wise is enough. Let ustake the first step aright, and all will end right. ‘ New York Lancet No. VI, The number of this popular medical Journal, publish- ed last Saturday, contain A Lecrune on Tic Douloureux,by Professor Morr.

Previous to the lst Aug last, he removed his stock and clo- sed the store, but the’ defendant broke it open, found the property to be gone, as was also part of the counter, when he proclaimed the plaintifl to be a A ed a bil the door offe: to any carman who would give where the stock had been removed elaring that Mr. Willard had stolen his counter. He went round to persons with whom the latter dealt, and spoke to the effect. It appeared that the counter had been stored in the cellar of the building, not wanied by Mr W., and was subsequently found there by defendant.

Petition denied, w without prejudice to the right of complainant to bring any suit he may choose in a court of law. John Jacob Astor ¥8. M Jinsey and others. Astor had loaned $14,000 on some lots fronting on 17h street, agore from which extended to 16th street. He foreclosed and the property was put upatanction. Mr. Astor prevailed upon the Maa- ter in Chancery to sell it in one lot, instead of in different ones. There was, consequently, very little competition, and Mr Astor bought it him self, giving only between $5,000 and $6,000 for it, and still leaving the parties indebted to him on their bond for over $5,000. Mr. M’Jimsey com- (hoger: and stated that the property would have rought more had it been divided—and that ihe owners of lots on 16ih street would have given nee additional forthe gore, and asking a resale he Vice Chancellor declared that the Master had done wrong.

Under this de- cision the Chancellor had been obliged to dissolve about twenty-five injanctions in this city in cases equally serious as this. Motion for injunction de- nied, or if one has been granted, it must be dis- solved, James Watt vs. Archibald Watt.—This was 2 mo- tion to appoint a receiver on mortgaged property at Harlem, consisting of several hundred teleiie mortgage amounting to something like $100,000.

General Sessions, Before the Recorder, Judges Lynch and Noah. and Aldermen Pojlock and Baiis. . 8ih.—The following gentlemen were asgrand jurors :—Levi D. Slamm, foreman, W. Beli, Moses Y. Beach, John L. Brown, James Avery, John Carl, jc , John Culver, David D. Crane, John Fowler, Jawes B. Garretson, Joseph Hew: lett, Isaac B. Ruton, Jonathan Thorne, Robert M. Patrick, Jchu V. Coon, Jacob M. Vreeland, Dennis Mullins and Gilbert F. Everson. After the grand jury had been sworn the Record- er informed them of ibeir special duties, and the particular branches of crime that at the present tne calied for their close attention. He pointed out the violation of the laws relative to the erec- tion of weoden buildings within the fire limits of the city ; the continued sale of lottery tickets con- trary to recent statutes ; the laws relative te usur: ithe elective franchise, and concluded by call- the immediate and st attention of the quest tothe practises in Wall streetin the of stock joboing. He commenced by an allusion to the calendar of the court on which would be found the name of one, who from the evils of the present system had been induced to commit a erime that would in all probability send him to the State Prison tor « series of years, and theref-re conceived at his duty to recommend them to make application te the present Legislawure fer an enact- ment caleulated to improve the present method of making sales of stock at the Board of Brokers. It was the system, he contended, that was fraught with so much evil, of which we had to compjain, and not of themen who took advaniage of the sy: He then alluded to the Board of Brokers, a self-constituted association, whose whole pjo- ceedings were conducted in secret, save to those who may have passed the ordeal of admission and paid their fee for a seat within its councils. That all i's transactions were kept within the breasts of thase concerned, save that portion which they felt disposed to presentto the public. That the very records were not even mide public, nor could any citizen, however much interest he might have in any public stock, claim a right to see or exami: whether the 8 published to the world as b fide, were transactions in which the parties had acted in good faith or not. He then illustrated the practice under which many of these sales were made. For instance—a broker agrees to buy acer tain stock at a fixed time, and in order to make all thatis possible (rom the tran-action, he oflers, through another person, a certain amount of this stock at a reduced price onthe succeeding day, at the Board, and by the aid of a third, who makes the purchi an impression is created thatthe stock has falien in its value, and thus individual holding said stock are indueed toscll at what then termed the market price, according te the re- ports of the Board. Thus, bya fictitious salr,many an honest man, ignorant of these transactions, holding stock in trast for widows, orphans and trust estates has been induced to dispose of it at loss,either anti- cipating a farther depression in the market or from otner causes. He stated that these transactions had become so public, so well known to ourcourts of Justice, that he had been recently inforned that the Judges of the Superior Court of this city had positiv fr refused to reccive the rates of sales ae entered ib the Board of Brokers, as evidence ofthe true value of public stocks, unless confirmed aliu de He considered the whole system as now p: tised a perfect conspiracy to affect trade and com, merce, and as such it should be controlled by some legi-lative enactment. He contrasted the severity of the laws relative to the sale of lottery with the practices at the Board of Brokers,’ tended that the gambling in lotteries, which was a penitentiary offence, was jess a crime in a moral se than the present mode of gambling in stocks. That the man who bought a lottery ticket could bear the loss,even if cheated , but ‘hove who gambled stocks too often brought rain upon themselves as ds and families. Hi id that these conspiracies among individuals to faise and depress the price of tsocks was clearly a misdemeanor; but the grand jury should so present the case to the legislature as to induce them to enaet laws to change the practice now in opera- tion daily in Wall street. le then recommended a remedg, requiring the names of the seller as wellas the purchaser to be entered on the books of the Clerk of the Board, in all cases,and that these books should be subject to inspection by the comes snity; and also that a state duty of one per cent should be imposed on all s, the same as the auction duties. The latter system he contended would prevent the continued fluctuations in the market, and also the fictitious sales, as the — ittendant thereon would be calculated to these practices. He concluded by urging the immediate attention of the Grand Jary to this subject, tru. PE they would reparc a presentment that would induce action fy that body at their present session. ‘The Disttict Attorney appeared in Court, and the first cuse called was the following :— Fight between two Women.—Mary Mullen sp- peared in Court, and undertook to ae] an agsault and battery on her person by John Marston and Ann Dempsey, in the month of March last.

Mr [enjamiu Smith, a good looking young man, with Von Zandt pant:, swore that Johnay Miller came off seeond be-t, but he could not swear positively who struck first.

It was no more nor leus than Colonel James Watson Webb, and he, therefore asked the court, whether he should order the clerk to forfeit the bond, or let it remain until Mr M returned. The Court, for reasons best known to themselves, con- cluded that it was better to run the risk of Mr. Maginnis’s return than forfeit the bond, and, there- fore, ordered that the suit stand until his arrival in this city.
