Price two cents per copy The Great Tyler Presidential Movement— Satan In the Broadway Tabernacle. This is the age of wonders. Signs appear in the heavens above—in the earth below—and in the wa- ters under the earth. The comet, with a tail of nine- ty millions of miles long, has just gone round the sun, and is now caseering towards eternity—the earthquake has shaken the whole West Indies, engulphed islands, and destroyed thousands ef mor- tals. Butmore than these, the Devil and Col. Webb have been both let loose in the Broadway Taberna- cle—the great Tyler meeting has taken place in New York—five thousand persons have assembled —a tremendous uproar has been made in Broadway, and the re-election of John Tyler as next President, is almost ascertain as the calculation of eclipses— the period of the comet, orthe coming of the mil- lennium. Aull report and description of this mighty meet- ing will be found in this day’s paper. This grand demonstration has been madeat a most favorable time. A more beautiful night than last evening was we have never yet seen. The broad, beautiful, boundless, full moon shone down with unclonded majesty, and tipped every spire in New York with silver. The magnificent fountain in the Park rose up intoacolumn of bright silver, eighty feethigh. Broadway, all around the Taber- nacle, was crowded with people and loafers, and fun of all kinds seemed to be the order of the eve- ning. It is very evident to the office holders that Captain John Tyler has now made agreat big hole in the de- mocratic party, and ifthe Tyler men go ahead on their own hook as they have begun, ne one can tell what isto become of the locofocos. Will the Tyler men now organize for the charter elections;!—will they run a separate ticket for Mayor and Aldermen ?—or will they take hold of all the democratic meetings in the wards, and turn the great tide in favor of Cap: tain Tyler for the next presidency? All this must be done, or this meeting amounts to nothing. Let the Captain and his men then go ahead. Seriously, however, this great meeting isa great failure—a great row—a great humbug—and the last Tyler meeting that will be ever held in New York. The devil leaves town to-day. Tue Frvanctat Revotvtion—Wacrs—PRrinTERs’ Rates.—We have received several articles relative to the reduction in Printers’ rates of wages, which have been attempted by some employers in the prin- ting line. We have given this matter some reflec- tion, and we have come to the conclusion, that new and redueed rates of wages for printers will become a bone of contention very soon, if both parties do not anticipate future necessities, and arrange the question amicably now. This is the great age of reduction—in prices—in rents—in real estate—in provisions—in amuse- ments—in necessaries. It must not be expected that any class of mechanics can escape this general law of social life. It would be better, therefore, for the whole body ef printers, who now possess good situa- tions, to hold a meeting and adjust the rates of labor to the new state of things brought about by the late revulsions. Prices of livingare as low now asin 1826 to 1830—but the wages of printers are still at the rates of 1836, when every element of living was thirty to fifty per cent higher than it was in 1830, or than it is now in 1843. Let journeymen printers and all others think of these facts. If an agitation should be made—and a contest take place about it, many of those who hold good places—will, in the turmoil, lose them, and many unworthy persons get them, besides much loss of time, and a great expenditure of feeling and passion. American TRAVELLERS IN ENGLAND—HOTELS IN Loxpon.—We call the especial attention of Ame- ricans who are about to visit Europe, to the adver- tisement in another column, of a very celebrated Hotel-keeper in London, Wutiam J. Mankwe, who is the proprietor of several admirable Hotels, fashionable, family, and commercial. The first on his list is the hotel called ‘‘ Long’s,” in New Bond street, a very celebrated hotel, situ- ated in the fashionable quarter of London, and in the vicinity of the Parks, Theatres, Palace, and West End. This hotel is also the centre of Ameri- can fashionable travellers in Europe. The second is called the ‘‘ London Family Hetel,” in Albe- marle street, also an admirable house for American families visiting London for a short time. The third is the well-known “ North and South Ameri- can Coffee House,” situated in the city, near the Bank of England and the Exchange—a place of great resort for all seeking information on American aflairs—and a centre for all the financial, commer- cial, and political news of London. Every Ameri- ean of business visits this hotel, and all the Ame- rican bankers in London frequent itto get the news. At all these hotels files of American papers can be seen on the arrival of every packet or steam ship; and particularly special files of the New York Herald, to the latest dates. We particularly recommend American travellers in London to visit them. Tue Somers Case in THE U. S. Court.—The argument inthis case was continued yesterday by Mr. Griffin, a condensed report of which will be found in another column. To-day it is probable that Mr. O’Conner will conclude, and it is expected that he will lay himeelf out at full length in reply to Mr. Duer. On Friday we may expect the opinion of Judge Betts. What will it be ? Great difference of opiuion on this point. Tyien Movements in PuttapeLpuia.—A very Mepicay Commancengnt—Dx. Mort’s Appisas. —The annual Commencement of the Medical Class ot the New York University took place yesterday at he University Chapél. "Ais is usual'tipon élich occa sions, the ceremony df, “graduation”, was imposing. Chancellor Frelinghayeen presided, aided by Doe- tors Mott, Pattinson, and other officers of the Uni- versity, who had their seats upen the platform. The main body of the house was filled with the students of the University, while the galleries were overflow- ing with the beauty and fashion of the city, together with many strangers from abroad. After the usual preliminary exercises, Chancellor Frelinghuysen proceeded to admit the medical class to the degree of “Doctors of Medicine.” The class is fifty nine in number, anda fine, substantial set of fellows they are, to all outward appearance, and we doubt not their scientific qualifications will do them equal credit with their personal appearance. The most amusing part of all Commencements 1s the mode and manner in which the graduate re- ceives his diploma from the hands of the Chan- cellor, or President, and the peculiar expression of countenance which he exhibits as he leavesthe plat- form with the diplema in his hand. It is for this di- ploma that he has, for so many years, pored over the ancient classics—vexed his soul with the mechanics, and consumed his midnight oil in all the multiplied branches of a course of education. And when at last he reaches this pole star of all his college hopes and aspirations, and actually Jays his hand upon the endorsement of his scholarship, he feels queer, or rather feels glad, and looks queer. Conceal his emo- tions he cannot; but it would be undignified to smile, and equally incensonant to look selemn, so that in a violent and desperate effort te obey the classic maxim, In medio tutissimus ibis, it is ten to one that he looks very funny. We have aeen a host of graduates receive their diplomas, and never yet failed to notice this circumstance. After the class had received their diplomas, and the mellow air from the band of ‘“ Home, sweet home,” had reminded them of other days and other scenes, Dr. Mott took the desk and proceeded to deliver the customary address to the graduating class. It was replete with cound sense, and practi- cal instruction, and peculiarly adapted to the new sphere of life into which’ these young ‘‘ Medicine Doctores” are emerging. The following is a brief abstract of the important tepics touched upon by the learned Professor :— The address commenced with the usual congratu- lations to the class, upon arriving at'this commence- meat of their public protessional career. Numerous practical remarks and cautions were given to guide them. They were reminded of the high trusts and responsibilities now about to devolve upon them in the exercise of the medical art. And here Professor Mott called their attention especially to the import- ance of bedside instruction, and reminded them that med:cal cliniques had their origin in this University, andare now spreading throughoutthe country. He also reminded them of the long course of study yet before them, and of the shortness of life to attain to perfection. Too much confidence in their ability to discharge their high duties was to be Genel) avoid- ed, and a becoming modesty te be cultivated. They were advised to adopt the practice of noting down their clinical observations, and making clear com- ments and observations upon every case that comes up. In the first years of their practice they would have abundance of time to devote to the contin- uance of their studies in medical science, and they were exhorted to improve it. Even the most learn- ed in the profession had made comparatively but feeble attainments. All new theories, however wild and revolutionizing, were to be carefully examined before rejection, as it ap cea they can ever overthrow the great landmarks of nature. Still no new theories were to be received without investiga- tion. In the next place, Dr. Mott called attention to the ethics of the profession. They were recommended to adhere strictly to the old adage, ‘* Honesty is the best policy.” Adhere strictly to truth. Adept a frank and manly candor on alf occasions, especially towards brethren of the profession. Avoid all in- trigues, secret societies, cliques, and coteries.— These are the men, who, although they may keep within the letter of, their diplomas, yet they fignt un- der false and paratiea! colors. They are malign spi- rits—watchful rivals—and must be carefully avoided. In the next place,the professor adverted to the sub- ject of religion, and the great and momentous obli- gations which it especially imposed upon them.— Seek the guidance of Providence, and then his pro. tection would be sure. The appeal to them upon the duties of religion, and its value in every trying hour, was very happy and effective. And especial- ly necessary was it for them to be able to adminis- ter its consolations and its hopes at the bedside of the dying, the poor, the degraded, and the wretch- ed. No matter what the church or denomina- tion to which they may go, there is still one church andone chapel where all worship, and that is m one’s ownbosom. Medicine may heal or alleviate the pains and diseases of the body, but it requires the virtues of religionto heal the wounded spirit.— Then Dr. Mott gave them his yaledigtory, and clos- ed his address. The band struck up Yankee Doodle, and the audience departed, highly gratified. Suppen Deatu oF THE Squaw aT THE MusEuM.— Much excitement was produced at American Muse- um, yesterday afternoon,in consequence of the death of one of the most beautiful and interesting squaws in the establishment. Every attention wasrendered imaginable by several ot the {neighboring ladies, as also by her medical attendants, Dr. Vanzant and Dr. Rabineau, of the Ist ward, who excited themselves tothe utmost to save her. It is supposed that she took cold on her return from a ball which she atten- ded recently, and from which proceeded congestion of the brain. See Later FRom St. Domingo —The schooner Hurd, arrived yesterday from Aux Cayes. We learn by her that on the Ist, when the schooner, was about five miles from Jeremie, she was boarded bya boat from the shore, the persons in which reported that the troops which had been sent {rem Port au Prince to put down the insurrection, had mostly gone over to the insurgents—that a battle had been fought on the preceding day, but with what result was not known. Those black philosophers are determined upon having a constitution like ours. ‘THE COMET ! THE COME'T !—'TO-MORROW MORNING will be published in Extra New World, the celebrated work of M.

Navar—Painrut Repor: —Captain Briggs, of the Barclay, at Philadelphia, states that while at the Cape of Good Hope he heard a report of the loss of the U. S. sloop of war Concord, on the coast of Mozambque. We do not think there is a word of truth in this report. The Concord is under the command of Captain William Boerum, is one of the Brazil squadron. Does the cruising ground of this squadron extend throughout the Indian Ocean ? Certainly not. If any sloop ef war has been lost, it must have been the Boston, one of the East India squadron, reported at the last accounts as having sailed forhome. We can scarcely believe, how- ever, that any maa-of-war has been shipwrecked. Itis stated that another Naval Court Martial is ordered to convene at Norfolk, Va., immediately, for the trial of Commander William Ramsay, and others. Com. Ramsay has been relieved from the command of the Vandalia until the resuit of this ine vestigation is known. Oxpexs—Mancw 10.—Mid. A. R. Abercrombie, to the sloop Levant; Lieut. G.

Andthe courts of impeach- ment, said Mr. G. before which the highest judges. and eveu the Chief Magistrate, are liable to be impeached, bave the power to disqualify, altheugh not to take life, which to’an honorable mind is far greater than the loss of natural life, He then alluded to the manner used to rid of sovereigns in former times; the death of Charles II, and the abdication of Louis 16, and compared with it particuiar was fallacio pinion was that the the Court ot uepeechasnt, Le which, he said, the Chief lelini Magistrate that had been quent could be reduced, by the calm and majestic law, to.a mere cypher, and he knew ef nothing which would present a more sublime and imposing spectacle,if such a case should ever occur, than acourt of impeachment.

In that spirit, and coming inte court, asthe adverse counsel are obliged to admit, with clean hands—unimpeachable, certainly, with having made any improper effort te per. vert or to abusethe instruments of public jastice—my associate and myself appei before yonr Honor; and ign of exhibiting the whole stress and strength and amplitude of the argument, in all its details, before you, side ali the advantage of reply that could possibly be necessary in the attainment of justice, my learned friend inverted the ordinary course of argument, preceded me, cited all the cases, of the con: sary, i freely, perfectly, and entirely, but also to enable the other side to understand and to answer them, the manner of doing this was as unobjectionable as the the opening, thus to afford to the other and all the sections ofthe statutes and n, which we then supposed to be neces. , in order not only to. give your Honor our views Certainly syirit in which it was done. Surely my learned friend, in the opening of case, gave no cau: any right whatever—to complain that he evinced improper asperity , undue feeling, or a dispoeition to demandany thi but a fair application of the doc. trines of the constitution, and the principles of the law, to this case, without exciting passion, er prejudice, or feeling of any description. How far that—I take leave tosay—highly meritorious and praiseworthy. conduct onthe part of my learned associate has been responded to by the counsel on the other side, I leave such of the auditors who were present, and heard them both, and to your Honor,to judge. 1 cannot enter at large on the Comparison. The arguments are before your Honor, and I only take leave to say, that whilst the first was modelof strict adherence to the very questien before the court—of most studious and considerate forbearance from any thing whieh could possibly wound the feelings of advocate, friend, or party, the other was, in all these respects, precisely the opposite. For not only upon the first day, when perhaps under the influence of ing which cannot always be controlled. did the couns who appeared on the part of th ividuals here com- plained of, indulge in cbservations of adescription, to Say the least of them, quite offensiveto the party against whom they were directed. But aftera night’s repose— after a night’s reflection—after the enjoyment of that opportunity of repentance which the still hours of the night so often bring to well-regulated and ingenuous minds, alter a transgression, and which effectually pre- vents its repetition—nay, often leads to the adoption of a course of conduct that may serve as atonement for the regretted wrong, the learned counsel came into court next morning, and presented a painful exhibition of still more cool and deliberate offensive than that which marked the conduct of the previous day. I would ask your Honor, how far It is possible that you could have been enlighten- ed with respect to the subject of this investigation, the utterance of any eulogium upon the character and con- duct of the individual whose acts have led to the institu- tion of the present enquiry 7 [ask what light could be thrown on the questions submitted by the grand jury, by any remarks on the “ persecutions,” which, it was assert- ed, have been instituted against this gentleman, and which sprung from private malice and the desire of private ven- geance? Where was the evidence that any such feelings —any such desire existe? Where were the proofs of any private malice? Where was the evidence of this high aminbility of character—thie piety —those endearing traits of character, which were introduced forthe purpose of influencing the lecision of you Honor, on this question of jurisdiction ? 11 say, that these are all questions to be hereafter examined and determined. I must here take occasion to ask the learned counsel, whilst he plead ed in justification, or at least as a sortof excuse for the zeal ‘and vehomence—which, he admitted in advance, would necessarily characterise the course of his argu ment—the feelings of sympathy with which his bosom was moved, on behalfof his friend, and the wife of that friend ; did it become him to forget that the relatives of those who are now no more,are humen beings like himself; that they also are citizens of the United § #—that their hearts throb with affections equally trong thote which agitote his own—that they have a rig surely as good aright ashe, to appear ina court of jus. tice, and to defend a connexion or a kinsman? Did the learned counsel really forget that the persons whom he 49 violently accused of being actuated hy the worst pas sions of the human heart, had an undoubted right to de- mand an grauiry into the circumatances by which their relatives had been suddenly deprived of their lives, at a distance on the ocran, beyond the reach ef any of the ‘ed tribunals of the land, and that without color pretence of law, but upon color or pretence of some Justification, some apology, heresfter to be proved, and hot yetestablished ? Surely, surely, ifthe eounsel ha l fromthe heat ‘and excitement he J the arregance and madness with of this argnment.be has seen fit tons ciate, in conreqnener vf the feelings ich he conceives, and in tocherish in behalf of his f the father ef one who has b deprived of his life,with. out color of law—has not he, supposing him to be the ac- cuser, as has been intimated, a right to call fon the tribu 1 aig why and whereoro his sons not aright to ask why he has been tothe mourning and lamentation of the er of that son ?

An 1 the counsel who pleads the affec- tions of his own heart as a justification of his warmth, his advanced id with his cultivated mind and all he who thus pleads for the jus- jon or excuse of his departure from the strict line of propriety, be permitted to turn upon the aggrieved father and mother the lamenting widow — young and not of all those powers of self- control that he possess and should have exercised —and charge them with having violated the same pricioles of propriety which he has disregarded ; with agiiig., boon, inflnenced by base and unworthy mo- tives, use they have calmly and quietly, violating no law, creating nodisturbance, exciting no feelings save such as their situation may possibly excite in the ms of all feeling men—that young widow appears at the portals of that tribunal over which your Honor se abl. [ee erares asks you whether the highest criminal tri- unal of the United States have the power to investigate this matter, and ascertain whether she has rightfully suffered this grievous bereavement. 1 insist, Sir, that the whole course of the argument has been cheracter- ined by this epecies of invective and want of due eonsi- deration for the aeons and the rights of others—but a consideration only for the wren and rights of the rest of thecommunity. Ilament indeed that it falls to my lot to say aught in reply to this course, of which I to think my associate has the greatest cause of complaint. To be obliged to sit here during the whole di from one revered in age,—a very father of the most bitter insinuations ef his ignorance of the putting forth doctrines that a mere tyro would be ashamed of avowing,—of spending three whele hours in orderto maintain such errors,—and similar expres- sions of incivility. Well, it is enough, perhaps,’ to remind the counsel that they found it neee: to eccupy seven hours in answering theso ments, which were considered s0 idle and absurd, feeling, which has characterized the argument, chi racterized the ich has been urged in the cou efit; and I shal! e occasion hereafter to call the tention of your jor to the fact, that this question h: been viewed upon one side only by our opponents; an. that whilst they talk ofthe rights of individuals, and of the rights of the nation, and the glory of the American name, andthe maintenance of the navy, they talk with- in the narrow cirele of their cwn affections and their own firesides—within the narrow circle of that particu- lar portion of the American people, and that particular tion of the American navy with}which they happen jo have connexion interests.

H. (INGRAHAM, Esq., entit- led the “ ODD FELLOW, or the SECRET ASSOCIA- TION.” This Novel portrays in truthful colors, prin- ciple, character and usefulness ofthe Order of Odd Fel- lows, and it is recommended tothe perusal of every Odd Fellow within whose reach it may come. It goes more thoroughly and fuirly to place before the public a clear and explicit view of the high character and objects of the association to which it is dedicated, than could be accom- plished by disquisitions or essaysinnumerable. The wives of Odd Fellows should read it, andinthe fate and fortunes of the poor wid w (the heroine) learn the beneficial re- sults to be derived by theic husband’s connection with such an association. BOSTON ARISTOCRACY Also will be published this morning, in connection with the above, an original Nouvellette by the same author, entitled * LAME DAVY’s ‘SON—with the Birth, Education and Career of FORAGING PETER—a Tale ‘of Boston Aristocracy.” ‘The author in this novel describes the fortunes of two enterprising men, both cradled in poverty, and both at- taining to immense wealth—but one, from’ want of prin- ciple becoming rich without respect, and the otker pos- sessing it, obtaining wealth, happiness and honor. The novel isan extremely useful onc, and teaches a lesson to the Boston aristocracy which it will be well for them te ponder upon. Both of these nouvellettes are of the deepest and most intense interest, and we feel confident they will have a most extensive sale. They will be publistied together in a neat and handsome style, with a separate eolored cover, and sold for only 12} cents per copy. They will be for sale by all newamen and news boys, and at Tuttle's News Office, No. 4 Ann street. (G+ CARD.—The undersigned regrets that his absence from the city has prevented him from neticing earlier a communication published in some of our city papers, a dressed “ To the Executive Committee of the Hudson Ri- ver Railroad,” by Mr. Vassar its chairman; detailing some remarks made by me in the Board of Aldermen, embrac- ing a statement made by him to me which he has the har- dihood to charge as being “from heginning to end an en- Ure mlsrepresentation.” "Now this Mr. Vassar himeelf a mits in the communication alluded to, that he did sa “that the friends of the Hudson River Railroad would pro- bably Mot have moved in making a survey of a rou! had ‘not one been in east, the construction of s the value of property of the river town: What is this but saying, in effect, as he is alleged to have done, “ That Mr. Vassar and his friends had merely resorted to this movement to protect their own property along the river;that the river was enough for them.” ‘The distinction to be drawn is without a deference. But Mr. ii a witness here in his own f a statement which pla- ces both himself and his associates in a most unfavorable light before the public—it shows both his and their pre- tensionson the subject of the Road to be hypocritical,that their object is not the advancement of the riverfente rise, but if possible by raising an excitement about it, to throw discouragement upon any plan for eftecting a communica- tion by railroad between this city, Albany and Troy ; there is something so hollow, corrupt and dishonest about this, that he must feel most eager, not only to rid himself of such an imputation, but to escape the keen and bitter reproaches of his friends for the stain thus fastened upon their motives by his voluntary confessions. If the plea of guilty in part is wrung from him under these overwhelm: ing influences to qualify anddeny, may it not fairly be presumed that he is in fact answerable for the whole statement which he ro passionately repudiates as a mis- representation from beginning to end.” Fortunately, how- ever, for thecause of trath, Mr. Vassar has not been sj ing in revelations of the motives by which he says him- selt and frienus are actuated. Ihave not been his only con- fidant; the question of his veracity is not left therefore to be decided by his temptations to ialsify. He has made si- milar statements to individuals of this city, making it completely evident that he has stated what he so pertine. ciously contends he has not done, Mr. Vassar’s remarks about not noticing what he is pleased to call “misrepresentations,” being made by “plain Mr. Leonard, instead ot Alderman Leonurd,” are indicative of the man’s calibro, and lead tothe conclusion that he might even be made to doubt his own word as plein Mr. Vassar without the imposing adjunct of “Chairman of the Hudson River Railroad ex-committee.” That there may not remain adoubt on any mind as to the motives of Mr. Vassar and his associates in pressing their River Rail road project, I have subjoined a? note from Mr. J. Eadio, Jr, of this eity, giving a statement of Mr. Vassar, made in the Merchants’ Exchange, and now leave the public to judge of the “specimens of fairness and truth” exhibted by Mr. Vassar in his recent attack upon me.

Steam Sip Grear Wisrern.—This favorite steam packet, commanded by the popular Hoskens, Goes to sea at three o'clock this afternoon, with seve- ral less than thirty Passengers, This is rather singular, and is only te be account- edfor inone way It is a fact, that in America nothing can succeed without the aid of the press. Let never so excellent a packet commence the pas. Senger business, she will inevitably fail in filling her state rooms, unless her movements are regularly no- ticed in the papers. We, therefore, believe that the Western would leave to-day with more Passengers than she will carry, had her owners evinced more tact and and liberality in giving publicity to the day of departure of this really popular packet. We trust that in future, they will not confine their notices to the papers of small circulation, but send to those es- tablishments that can give notoriété to their ships. Advertise liberally, and passengers and freight willcome in liberally. To raise an oak, an acorn must first be planted. Canapa.—Apart from the health of Sir Charles Bagot there is nothing of consequence to communi- cate from this prevince. It is prebable that Sir Charles will not live long if he is now alive. At the last account he wasmuch worse than he had been. The riote on the Lachine canal have been neariy suppressed. Mexico anv Texas.—Mexico is in no particular condition, nor is Texas. Yucatan still holds out against Santa Anna, and will undoubtedly come off best. This republic, which was once called the New England of Mexico, is destined to outstrip Texas and Mexico both. It appearsto be the only republic south of this that possess the elements of success. Santa Anna remained at his country seat “biding histime” and the new central constitution “that is to be.” FasuionaBee Movements.—Ex-President Van Buren of Lindenwald, (Kinderhook) is on a visit at Albany, preparing the machinery for the next elec- tion. Prince John is with him. Henry Clay has reached Ashland, from his recent visit to New Or- leans. He is in fine spirits, and buoyant with hope. General Cass has arrived at Detroit, his future home, and has been received with great eclat. John C. Calhoun is at Charleston, S. C., and is also busy fpreparing for the next Presidency. Daniel Webster has not yet left the Cabinet, but it is sup- posed he will do so soon, and go to England, as min- ister in the place of Mr. Everett, who goes to China. Who goes to France is yet uncertain. ‘TueatricaL, & ‘Theatrical businss, in these latitudes, is middling. The Park spring season has commenced te only tolerable houses and a tolerable company.

Concerts seem to be all the rage. We have had half adozen recently, and more are coming. Mrs. Sutton is in towa, looking out upon the future, which seems like a long valley with gay clouds hanging over it. The two Miss Cummings have made some little stir, by their Scottish Ballad Concerts. The one is a soprano the other a mezzo soprano, of some melody but no great power or compass. If they take the grand tour and give these Ballad Concerts, they can make a great deal of money. Ballad music is popu. lar here. The Seguins are at Charleston. They dont go further south. Signor Nagel, Max Bohrer, and others are somewhere gouth also. On the whole the theatrical business in this coun- try is not in good a coudition, but ifa Tagleoni, or a Cerito, or a Rubini, or a Grisi were to come out,we could soon get up a mania that would last for a year and yield about $100,000 at leest. —— MONKEY MARKE}, Whursday, March 16—2 P, M. ‘The Board was very quiet—sales were very small, and prices did not vary materially. New York State 7's rose 43 Paterson Rail Road fell }. At the new board there was still less doing, and sales as per list annexed, A fair amount in foreign exchange for the packet, pro- duced no change in rates. The market presents the greatest abundance of money, and a continued desire to find investment. As the spring advauces there are some indications of renewed business, but not such as creates a great extent of business paper to employ the means ofthe Banks. Specie continues to a@ cumulate here, but is preparing with the opening of spring to be distributed over thecountry The rates of exchange on the South are such asto revive the export of specie to that quarter. In fact, there never was a time when exchanges were so low and uniform to every point ofthecontinent as now. Their managesaent is becoming confined to the leading private houses. All bank paper is looked upon with suspicion, and justly so, as well the paper of the old drawing ports or agents of the London houses, which have been so disastrously involved in cot- tonand stocks. In this state of effairs stocks are neces- sarily the favorite investment, particularly those of which small amounts or none, only are held abroad, asthe Unit ed States Government and New York stocks. These lat- ter, 6 percents, have risen to 108 a 104 per cent. prem., and the Government lean to 6 per cent, while Kentucky 6's, which is as sound a State, sells at 85. Large amounts of the latter are known to be held as security by the credifors of suspended iastitutions and individuals, and would be drawn upon the market. if prices were advanced. Ohio has issued a ecrip of $2,000,- 000 to pay its creditors, and will be obliged to bor] row largely besides during the coming year. Enermous losses have been incurred by borrowing operations, and the Auditor ofthe State is authorized to levy taxes of his own will when he shall think it necessary. This is a fea. ture peculiar to Ohio, and may prove its ruin; because the Legislaturehas no more power te delegate the right of taxation to an individual, than they have to appoint a dic- tator. The Legislature has no power but what it derives from the people, and no authority whatever exists for them to delegate those pewers, It isa skulking trick to avoid the odium of levying taxes themselves. The following table will show the progressive rise in stocks :— Paces of Stocks tue New Yor Manger, Dec. 15, 4 16. ie Maac Foss ikchange Co, ‘The prospect is now that stocks must continue to rise and maintain their rates for some time to come, for the reason that the cause of the rise is the want of employ- ment of money through thore channels in which for years it has been accustomed to be employed, viz : by the dis. connt of large amounts of long business and accommoda- tion paper, The business doing is undoubtedly very large, but it is confined jo the capitals and means of those engoged in it.
