Markets. Lonpon Monry Manxet, Feb. 18.—The state of the money market, though influenced considerably by the disturbed appearance of political effairs, hasbeen sus- tained much more firmly than might have been supposed from the general disappointment cf the commercial classes withthe new corn law project which has been brought forward by Sir Robert Peel. For this measure, thongh so much condemned in the manufact ig dis- tricty and all the principal eut ports of the kingdom, amongst many of the wealthiest and most powerful of the bankers and general capitalists of London, is viewed with the opposite degree of satisfaction ; as amongst these partica, including the mojortty of the directors of the Kank of England, there is a most insuperable aver- sion to the modern principles of all trade. The @ ference of opinion amongst London capitalists,as compared wath equally respectable parties in the northern parts of the kingdom, is wide to a very remarkeble degree, for it is common inthe neighberhood of Lombard street to heer that in resisting the popular outcry on the subject of the cern la’ he institutions of the country, 9nd the mo- narchy itself, have almost been saved bythe ca¥inet of Sir Robert Peel; on which viewsot the question, ihere was an evident wppearance of renewed activity in mo- netary business on the two days following the announce: ment of the ministeriel plan, The accounts of the uo- opularity of the ineasure in the manufacturing districts Pattince tended to damp the satisfaction of the capital- ists of London, and it has almost become uncertain that the government will have a mojority in the House of Cominons, there being a large number of members of parliament who, though otherwise favorable tothe mi- nistry, myy think it psoper to interfere in acontrary manner, in consequence ‘of the imprndence of persever- ing againet that combination of the middle and the working population which it is apprehended is about to take place on ascale teo extensive for the government to oppose. in consequence of the uncertainty in which the ques- tion of the corn trade is involved, there is a considerable nic in the monet: iso would ave becom of the cir- culation of the bank of Eoglaud, and therefore the mo- ney market is again subject to uncertainty until thege- bate which is now going forward in the House of 4 mons may be brought to a close, and this is not expected before Friday night Money, in the interim, is very abundant, but the securities rcquired continue to be of @ very unexceptionable kind. Loox Coan Excuanor, Feb. 14—Fine English wheat a free sale at an advance of 1s per quarter, but there noimprovement in the value of ordinary samples. demand was steady for good foreign wheet at rather higher rates ; the holders generally refusing fermer rates, somewhat checked business therein. For bonded little inquiry was experienced, and no ehange in value can be quoted. Flour brought last week’s prices, with a fair demand for prime marke ex ship. The best descrip- tions of malting Barley realized former rates, witha steady sale, and choice qualities fit for seed were the turn dearer. Malt was dull at last week’s currency. Beans aud Peas in moderate request at full as much mo- ney. The Oat trade was dull, but good Corn could not be,bought lower; inferior Irish samples were full 6d per quarter cheaper. Linseed and Rapeseed were taken slowly on rather lower terms. Feb, 16 —The trade is entirely stagnant this morning, eXcepting inthe retail bueiness for immediate consump tion, and nominally all the quotations are the same as en the last market day. The uneertainty respecting the measure of the government is against all business ef a speculative kind. Livenroot Cotton Manxer, Feb. 18.—The market hes been very dull and heavy throughout the week ; the trade have been almost the only purchasers, and, though no decided decline can be quoted in either American er Surat d scriptions, the tendency has been throughout in favor of the buyer, with a great abundance of Cotton of- fering. The imports this week amount to 37,051 bags, and the sales, including 500 American taken on specu- lation, and 100 American, 60 Maranham, end 100 Surat for export, to 19 630 bags iz. :—350 Sea Island Ceorgie, 10}a164; 20 stained, 7d; 4650 Upland do, 44864; 1120 Ala bama and Mobile, 535} 8100 New Orleans, 44071; 740 Pernambuco, 607}; 360 Bahia and Macaio, 6{a7; 580 Maranham, 5}07; 670 Peruvian, 5436}; 80 Logica 66 a Eevytien, 7010; 2630 Surat and Madras, 3ja4}; gal, 080.

The ensuing election for mayor, aldermen, dc. of this city, will be a very severe and a very closely contested one, and the result is extremely doubt- tul. By many of the mest sanguine of the locofoco party, it is thought that the whigs will gain the city- The great turning point of the election will, be- yond adoubt, be the public echool question ; if the Legislature at Albany pass Mr. Maclay’s Bill, in al- most.any shape, the Irish Catholics here will proba- bly accept of this measure of compromise, as an ad- mission that the present school system requires some sort of change. In this case they will give in their entire adhesion to the locofoco party, and then this latter will be sure to.carry the city by a very large majority. It Mr. Maclay’s bill does not pass this sessien in any shape, nor any substitute for it, then the Irish Catholics will unquestionably vote the whig ticket for mayor, and for some of the whig aldermen, un- less, where they run a separate ticket in particular wards. In either cage, the result of their defection will be to break down the locofoco majority, and give the whigsa powerful and triumphant ascen- dancy in the Common Council. Such is the present prospect of affairs—such will be the result of the struggle. And yet how paintul it is to see such a state of things. The various pre- liminary ward meetings have been held, and dele- gates chosen to select men to nominate the charter officers for the coming election. Why not for once discard all party prejudices and strong political ran- cour; and nominate for mayor and aldermen, on both sides, the best and purest men in the city; men chosed for their worth, their integrity, and their ta- lent; and men on whom we could rely to practice economy, retrenchment and reform, and to improve the city and its government in every possible way? Our taxes are increasing every year; the city is still very badly cleansed,and very badly lighted ;{the watch, fire and police systems all require reforma- tion; yet no one seems disposed to doit. There is plenty of talking and reports and printing about all these things in the Common Council; but no one seems disposed for “faction” in the matter. What does it matter to the jackass whether you call the burden onhis back, a hamper, or paniers, or pack- eaddle, or apparayho, so long as it isa burden? And what does it signify to the people of this city whether they have to bear a whig burden or a locofoco bur- den? Not anatom. Let our nominating commit tees therefore choose good men, so that whichever party succeeds we may rejoice in the result. NEW YORK HERALD.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT Safe Return of the Caledonia Steamship to Miverpecdesoaived et rde - fax, and of the steamship Clyde in New Work--Mecting of Parllament--important Debate on the Corn Laws—Mojority for Ministers-—Tremendous excitement all over the Country—Petitions to the Queen to dismiss hex Ministers—Safe Arrival out of the Britannia—The Qaeen—The Creole Trade—Markets, &e, To our inexpressible gratification the Clyde steam ship, Capt. Woodruff, from Halifax, came up the bay about one hour after midnight this morning. She left Halifax on Tucsday, and brings us the happy news that the Caledonia steamship, after be- ing out from Liverpool seven days, and breaking her rudder, put back to Cork on the 11th of Februa- ry, and finally reached Liverpool in safety on the 27, all on board well. The steam ship Acadia, was then dispatched trom Liverpool on the 19th of February, bringing most or all of the Caledonia’s passengers, and arrived safe at Halifax last Monday. The steam chip Clyde left Halifax last Tuesday, and arrived here this merning, bringing some of the Acadia’s passengers. The news from England is highly interesting. ‘The christening of the young Prince of Wales had gone off in great style; and the Queen, her husband, and family, were all well and happy. Lood Ashburton was not a passenger in the Cala- donia, nor can we see by the paperson what day he deft England. Messrs. Ducrow and Davidge the actors are both dead. A new comedy called “Marriage” has been brought out at the Haymarket. A motion was tobe made on the 19th of February by Mr. Villiers, forthe total abolition of the Corn Laws. Ia the Corn Market there is no improvement, and every thing was stagnant, owing to the speulations of the government. The stock on hand is great,and prices have a downward tendency. In Manchaster the Cotton Market was ima depressed and declining state; in Liverpool it was dull and heavy, witha dewnward look. The Money Market was much firmer on the 18h of Feb., and Consols had ad- vanced. Parliament had met, as announced by the last arrival. But the great qaestion of importance brought before them was the Corn Laws. On this, Sir Ro- bert Peel had brought forward_a motion in favor of his sliding scale system, (on which the last ministry were defeated,) and which was tantamount toa de- termination on his pait never to lesson the burden of the Corn Laws. Lord John Russell proposed an amendment. It was d-bated three days, and on a division, Minwters had a mejority of 123. The fol- fowing is the result, from she London Times of February 17th. :— Paruiamestary Division, Fen 16.—Cory Istpor- satvox. —Order for Committee read; motion made, and question proposed,—‘‘That Mr. Speaker do now leave the chair ’—Amendment proposed, to leave out from the word ‘*That” to the end of the question, in order to add the worde, “this house, cousidering the evils which have been caused by the present corn-laws, and especially by the fluctuations of the graduated or siding scale, 1g nos prepared to adopt the measure of her Majesty’s government, which is founded upon the same principles, and is likely to be attended x, similar resulte,”— (Lord John Russel—instead thereof— Question put, “That the words proposed to be lett out stand part of the uestion:—The House divided :— Majority, for the Sliding Scale—Ayes Mojority, against the Sliding Scale, ween The Navy. We have received several ccmmunications rela- tive to the course pursued by President Tyler and Mr. Upshur, in relation to the United Statea Navy ; many of them are evidently written by officers of our navy, and all of them speak in the highest terms of the conduct of the President and the Secretary to- wards the navy. Unquestionably, ne twomen that ever lived have more at heart the interest of this right arm of the nation’s defence. Their whole career, since they came inte power, has tended to advance the navy in every possible way. Under their government we have had the first important increase of ships, and promotion of officers, that we have had in several years ; and before the President's term of office pires, if he is not thwarted by contemptible factions, we shall have our navy made one of the most effi: cient in the world, and fully capable of holding its own against the fleets of any European nation, Eng- land not excepted. We are pleased to see the strict justice which the Secretary seems determined to mete out to the offi- cers of every grade; and, without going into details, we trust the court martials now in progress, aud those that have recently been held, will serve as a wholesome lesson to all, who, dressed in a little brief authority, have, in more instances than one, acted a tyrannical part to those under their com- mand.

Since thie day week the transactions which have occurred in our merket have been on an exceedingly limited scale, and prices of most articles have had a teadency downwards. The proposed change inthe Corn Laws has produced no material ef- fect upon either prices or demand. Good foreign Wheat has met with a moderate retail demand at late rates.— Barrel Flour has been in limited request ¢t our last quo- tations.

(\Corresponcence of the Herald.) ~ Wavsmatox, March 10, 1812 Proceedings In the Senate--The Exchequer --Important Decision. In the Senate thismorning, Mr. Parsrox, who had been for some time confined to his room by in- disposition, appeared in his seat. Mr. Waxxer presented a memorial from the towa of Litchfield, in the county of Medina, Ohio, signed by seventy-five citizens of that place, attributing the embarrassment of the day to the use of paper as @ circulating medium, and to its fluctuating character and maintaining that the true basis of value to all commodities, as well as to paper money, is specie. The memorial was then referred to the Committee on Finance. After the further presentation of petitions and me- moriala, reports were presented from Committees, among which Mr. Lunn, agreeably to notice given, introduced, on leave, a bill to indemnify General Andrew Jackeon, forthe damage sustained in the discharge of his official duties. [This bill ia to refund to him the fine of $1,000 and costs imposed by the court in Louisiana in 1815.) The bill having been read twice, Mr. Livn moved ita reference to the Committee on Claims, and Mr. Granam moved its refere nce to the Commit- tee on the Judiciary. A desultory debate took place between the two Senators, as to the proper reference; Mr. Linx con- tending that hel:ad examined the precedents, and they almoat unanimously went to sustain the refer- ence he proposed; and Mr. Grauam arguing that however the precedents, bills to indemnify for fines imposed by the courts, should be referred to the Ju- diciary Committee. the bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee. The question wastaken, and The Senate then proceeded to the consideration of the bill toamend the act entitled an act to ap” propriate the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, and to grant pre-emptien rights, approved September 4, 1811. The immediate question pend- ing was the amendment submitted by Mr. Mc- Roberts, to remove the restrictions to pre-emption rights inthe distribution bill of last session in the followiag particulars, viz: so much as excludes from the right of pre-emption those who settled upon the public lands before they were surveyed ; 80 much as denies the right to those who own three hnndred and twenty acres of land elsewhere, or those who removed from their own lund to reside upon the public lands; and so much of the said act as denies ‘8 pre-emption to all persons who are not citizens of the United States, or who had not filed their appli- cation to become citizeng, before they settled upon the lands. Mr. Sentn, of Indiana, replied at length to the arguments ef Mr.i{McRoberts, and on motion of Mr. Clay, the bill was laid on the table. Mr. Cray’s retrenchment and referm resolutions were then taken up. The purport of these resolutions, is to increase the tariff above the maximum of the Compromise act ;to repeal that provision of the Distribution act, which requires ita operation to be suspended if a duty of more than twenty per cent be demanded to support the government; to retrench and to econo- mize the expenses of government. To which Mr. Watent had proposed amend- ments—in favor ef practical economy, by abolishing useless offices ; by lopping off all unnecessary ex- penses in Congressand all the departments of gov- ernment; and by repealing the Distribution act, so a3 to render ‘any increase of the tariff above the Compromise act, or any new burdens on the peo- ple, unneceasary. Mr. Woopsuay addressed the Senate in a speech of about two hours in opposition to the views of Mr, Clay. The Senate then went into executive session, and afterwards adjourned.

Eviror— Since the resignation of our Mayor, four candi- dates have already taken the field, viz :—The Hon. Solomén Hillen, Shepard C. Leakin, Es jacob Small, Esq , and George Gordon Belt, Esq. There are a'so several others talked of, among whom may be mentioned. Joshua Vansant, Esq, and Henry Snyder, Exqr, the present ex-officio incumbent. The current of seutiment at present seems to run in favor of Col. S. Hillen, late a member to Con- gress from this city. Heis from top to toe a gen- tleman of the first water—noble of his composition, and would preside over the af- fairs of our corporation, I have no doubt, with in- defatigable energy and commendable dignity. S. Leaken, Esq , was}Mayor previous to the election of Mr. Brady, and has many warm friends. Mr. Small was also Mayor of Baltimore, some since, and _ proved hii efficient officer. Josh gentleman of great energy and b tact. Henry Snyder has the good will and friend- ship of all who know him—is God’s noblest work- manship—an honest man. Mr. Belt is a justice of the peace, of whem the deponent saith nought, as he has not the honor of his acquaintance. Carroll Spence,Es: oung, highly accomplis! ed and talented member of the Baitimore di vered a lecture last evening before the Maryland Instituteof Education, on the subject of ‘* Super- stition.” He did himself great credit, and threw an interest into his discourse which charmed the auditory in breathless attention. A bright star hangs over the destiny of this young gentleman, which in after time must beam with resplendent effulgence. Our Legislature adjourned yesterday sine die, aud strange to relate, neglected to provide means for the payment of the interest on the State debt. This is truly a bad state of affairs, reflects no envic- ble credit on our financial condition.

On Thursday lest we published the fact that it had been declared in the Ohio House of Representatives that Baring Brothers were holders of a lerge amount of the State Bonds, of which the State reserds gave no account. On the eppearance of that statement,a speculating bro- ker who had the stock to sell, took it upon himself to contradict it at the board. This of course wascn every day finesse, and laughed at it assuch. This morning, however,that veracious print the Courier & Enquirer hed the following :— Ai ient authority, that has been made Brothers & Co.,are holders to a large amount r that the fund Commicsioners have no certain record themselves of the amount issued.” This “sufficient authority,” was probably the broker in question, and no doubt was sufficient for the Courier, Now forthe facts, The} following is a letter from the chairman of the committee on the public debt of Ohio to the Editor of the Ohio Statesman, on the subject.
