New Beef, as well as Pork, meets a ready sale at qnotations, but’ the arrival of large supplies would cause prices to recede. No new Bacon or Hams heave arrived. Old pickled Hams are near- ly unssleable. The stoak of Cheese is much reduced. The last public sale was not well attended ; but a considerable quantity was taken, some well selected, at extreme quotations, With large arrivals of Lard, prices have con- siderably receded, and secondary qualities, for chandlery purposes, have not met aready sale. ‘The finer sorts are in demand; the last pacel offered (1000) founa buyers at 363 to 37s 6d per cwt. There are inquiries for Grease But- ter. Lares State or Trape.—Bo.ton.—The trade begins to wear a flourishing aspect. Counterpanes have received some improvement bgp the last fortnight, and weavers begin to be fully employed, though but at very low wages. For muslins and power loom cloths there is a very considerable improvement in demand, and slight ad- vances are realized in prices. Quiltings are steady, with avery fairdemand. Cotton yarns are in greater demand than they have been before during this year. All the mills are working full time, and are extremely busy, stocks being very low. The bleach-works ot the town and neighborhood are all very throng of werk. Foundries of every kind are gradually becoming {more and more prisk.

Upon the whole, the fancy trade may be said'to be in a fair state; and we have heard of some slight movements in the pl: branch, though it still continues much depressed, and is likely to remain so, unless a great change should take place in fashion. Lexps.—We are glad to be able to report an increased demand for goods of nearly all descriptions, and particu- larly for good cloths of the finer qualities, suitable to the spring and early summer trade. And not only has the business of the village manufactures improved of late, but there is more animation observable in the warehouses of the merchants chiefly connected with the inland trade ; yet we cannot report any material improvement in prices. Hopoensrieip Manxet.—There was again a pretty good attendance of merchants at this market on Tuesday ; andthe amount of business transacted was about equal to that of last week, as far as regards the Cloth-hall ; but there was more business done in the warehouses, with re- gard to finished goods.

States anp Ex@tanp.—The most interesting and important intelligence brought us by the last steamship is the de- bate on the “Ashburton Treaty,” which we pre- sented to our readers yesterday. By the Great ‘Western, the President’s Message on the corres- pondence between our Government and that of Great Britain relative to the conflicting interpreta- tion of the late treaty, reached London. As we anticipated, quite a ferment was produced. The Times, in its characteristic cavalier and contemptu- ous manner, refers to the Message as the most striking illustration of “Much ado about Nothing” with which they had ever been presented, and ridi- cules the idea of its throwing any light on the con- troverted topics. On the 3d inst.—the Monday sub- sequent to the arrival of the Great Western, the sub- ject was brought up in the House of Commons, and awarm and exceedingly interesting debate ensued Sir Robert Peel, in reply to Lord John Russell, had commenced a speech on the subject of the right of search, but the report breaks abruptly off, and we must wait till the nextarrival for the conclusion of the debate. From the tone assumed by the leading British journalists, it is easy to perceive that the adjustment of this questio vexata will be a matter of no little dif- ficulty. Great Britain insists with the greatest per- tinacity on her right to subject suspected vessels sail- ing under our flag to visitation, for the purpose of as- certaining whether they have a bona fide right to those colors. Sir Robert Peel declares in the most unqualified manner, on the part of the government — “We have not abandened our claims in the slighest degree, and it did not make any part of our intention during the controversy to abandon the rights to which we have always laidclaim.” Thisis certainly very plain speaking, and shows conclusively that the Brit- ish ministry are not at all disposed to acquiesce in the amicable and reasonable opinions expressed in the message which has elicited such a marked feeling of opposition. ‘We certainly anticipated a more favorable recep- tion for the message thanjthat which it has met. It vindicated with great calmness the rights and im. munities of our commercial marine, and presented with singular clearness and precision, the only in- terpretation of the terms and spirit of the treaty, which an honorable and candid judgment could conceive. As we, however, took occasion to re- mark atthe time when this message was issued, Great Britain is resolutely determined to maintain all the assumed privileges of that position of ocean sovereignty which she has so arrogantly asserted.— The plain, common sense, honorable and just doc- trine of maritime law for which our government con- tends, cannot, after all, be supposed to find faver in the eyes of a power which has so repeatedly trampled on every principle of equity, and even on its own solemn declarations,in the prosecution of selfish and iniquitous lines of policy. ‘We await with no little anxiety the intelligence which shall inform us of the issue of the debate which haselicited these brief remarks. The pros- pect of a settlement of the question at issue appears to become more and more distant every day. The cloud no bigger than a man’s hand, which now ap- pears in the heavens, is but the harbinger of a sea- sen of storm and tempest; and no one who closely studies and properly understands the relative posi- tions of both countries, can regard the probable chances of collision between England and the U. States, without deepanxiety. This controversy may be amicably settled soon, but we confess that the recent intelligence has considerably weakened our faith on that point. However, we watch and pray. Counter Movement at Tammany Hall—The “ Young Democracie” opposed to the Le- gislative Caucus—Beginning of the Fami- ly Jars, ‘The Young Men’s Demociatic Republican Gene- ral Committee met at Tammany Hall Wednesday evening for the transaction of their usual monthly business. A series of resolutions were presented by Edmund 8. Derry, and adopted by a majority of those present, in entire opposition to the legislative movement, and really in favor of John C. Cal- houn. The flare-up was to be expected—and may lead to some amusing scenes here and elsewhere. The old men’s committee will arouse next—and then the great mass meeting—but, in spite of all this opposi- tion,we are still inclined to think that the VanBuren nomination will triumph. There will be fun soon. The following are the resolutions:— “Resolved, That we do not approve of the action taken by the Democratic Republican members of the late Legis- lature of this State, in attempting in the address and reso- lutions, which they have pt and presented to the people of this State, to give their officiel sanction to the claims of any particular candidate for the Presidency. “That it was in no wise entrusted to them to commit their constituentsto any candidate, or to make for him such an evidence of public opinion being with him, as their address and resolutions may be understood to ex. press, and we sincerely regret that our representa- tives’ have been so far forgetful of the nature of the trust reposed in them, as to assent to this ob- jectionable feature of the address and resolutions. “That,until the ge shall have conferred on eommit- tees hereafter to be appointed, power to express their preference, and until these committees in convention shall have actually selected a candidate, we assert that the action which any Legit ike in relation nomination for the Presidency, must, and should be regard: ed as being only the individual opinions ot the members upona subject on which as legislators they had no right to enter, and asto which they have neither consulted, nor been instructed by their constituents. “That our party are prepared to submit tothe decision of a National Convention, and that we will enthusiastically Beng to the nomination which that convention may make, and we reprobate all efforts to prevent justice there being done to all.” Movements, &c, Hon. L. Sherwood (and lady), Senator from Wayne county, are at Howard’s, spending a few days in the city. Mr. Burden, from Troy, who has distinguished himself somewhat in the matter of steamboats, is also at Howard’s, with his accomplished lady. He is about constructing a boat for the North River, to be 600 feet in length, and which is expected to run to Albany in five hours. Messrs. Cannon and Southwick, of Troy, the di- rectors of the celebrated new steamboat Troy, are also at Howard’s. They expect to put steam upon this new boat to-day. It has one of Lighthall’s en- gines, and is altogethor a splendid aflair—the largest boat now afloat in these waters. J. B. Steinberger, Eeq., the celebrated Southern cattle dealer, who for some years monopolized all the eastern markets, is also at Howard’s. His pre- sence in the city at this time may account for the sudden rise of salt provisions. Major Barker, of the Ordonnance Corps, Captain Schriver, Lieutenants Luther, Arnold, and Hunt, and the Hon. H. Allen, ot Vermont, former Minis- ter to Chili, are at the American. ‘We understand that the Court Martial at Fort Ha- milton is adjourned till next week. Avorner Surt aGarsst McKenzte.—Another suit has been instituted against Com. McKenzie by Mehinley, one of the persons brought home in irons. McKenzie has commenced a prosecution against the Journal of Commerce {or libel, in publishing that seven of the members of the Court Martial were in favor of convicting him. If this be the policy which the gallant Commander intends to adopt, he will have plenty of work for six months to come, at Jeast. He may institute eight or nine lundred libel suits, for we believe that about that number of news papers have published the same statements for which he now seeks to punish the Journal of Commerce. Nava..—It is said that an officer of the U. 8S. N. is shortly to be tried by a Court Martial for commit- ting a shocking and most unnatural crime on board of one of our first class vessels. No name given. The trial of Capt. Ramsay is pogressing slowly at Norfolk. city . Caxuca Curery Paw Forrzrr.—The match be- tween the celebrated trotting horses Cayuga Chief, and Ripton, for $1000, one mile repeat in harness, was to have come off yesterday afternoon, over the Beacon Course. Both horses were upon the ground, but owing to the heavy state of the course, and the additional fact that the rider of the “Chief” was full twenty pounds weight heavier than that of Rip- ‘ton, the former paid the forfeit of $250, and al- lowed Ripton’s backers to pocket the stuff. Both horses were in fine condition. Coriis’s Satoon Rossgp.—Robert H. Corlis’s saloon, 218 Broadway, up. stairs, was entered yester- day morning, about daylight, by burglars. Watch- man Leacraft happening to be ing at the time, in company with two other watchmen, overheard the burglars attempting to escape from the rear door in Ann street,and on their rus! sagont with their booty, secured a man who calls himself Joseph Williams, but his associate escaped. On searching him they toned eighteen fier ‘spoons, weined at $1, a gold reast pin, worth $5; a quantit ars, (ec , that had been stelen from the Bowli Deaton of Mr. Corlis. A cloth overcoat, valued at , and a dress coat, worth $15, with several other articles that were stolen, it is su d were carried away by the other burglar. They entered the Saloon through a rear window of the second story, and ob- tained entrance to that by a flight of stairs, in the rear of the premises leading to the story above. In escaping they drew the staple to which a padlock was fastened, on one of the rear doors, and then assed into “the Climax Saloon,” by bursting the lock from the door, and thence into the street, where Joseph Williams was caught. Williams says he is a native of Syracuse, a bookbinder by trade, and resides at 14 Market street, Brooklyn.— He has thusshown himself to be a daring and effi- cient burglar, aud will nodoubt receive his just de- serts when he comes up for trial. Drownep in Taunton Ponp.—The Coroner held an inquest yesterday, on the drowned body of Wil- liam B. Hassett, of % Sullivan street, who came to his death under the following circumstances :—He went on Saturday last to visit his brother at New- ton, Connecticut, and on Tuesday went on a sail- ing excursion in a small sail boat on Taunton pond. About ten minutes atter they left the shore, the boat was capsized, and both brothers drowned. The body of 1m was brought to this city, and a of his brother interred at his late residence at lewton. Brr His Noss Orr.—On the day of election last week, a man named William Vail, bit off the right side of the nose of George Mount, 523 Washington street, in a scuffle caused by rum and politics. He escaped pursuit of the officers of justice until yeater- day, when he was arrested and committed in de- fault of $3,000jbail. Henson’s New Arriat Steam CarriaGe.—These are the names both of the inventor and of his new invention. We cannot callit a castle in the air, be- cause it has never yet elevated itself above terra fir- ma. It isa flying machine, however, and it it has any merits, they as yet rest on a very solid founda- tion. It is altogether of English extraction, and our last English papers are full of very copious details and pictures of its construction, together with sanguine expectations, strong faith, and lofty imaginations re- specting it. A bill for the transfer of the patent to a company has been introduced into Parliament, and we are sorry to add, thatit was greeted in the House with shouts of laughter, on all sides, by the enlight- ened senators. Itis intended to go by steam, and weighs only a ton and a half—3000 pounds. We shall, undoubtedly, be astonished some bright morn- ing to see it come flapping its wings over on our American shore, with news “‘in advance of the mail ;” for the English papers seem to consider itas settled that— On Cherubim and Seraphim, Fall royally *twill ride; And on the wings of mighty winds, Come flying o’er this side. Tueatricats.—There was an excellent house at the Chatham last night. That sterling comedy, “*The Honeymoon,” was played, and we can say with great sincerity that we were agreeably surpris- ed and much delighted by the performance. Mrs. Brougham, as Juliana, played with all her charac- teristic grace, life and spirit. Her perception of the character, which is one well adapted for a display of her talents, was correct and admirably sustain- ed throughout. The surprised and indignant spirit with which she submitted to the harsh discipline of the Duke, and the delight elicited in the closing scene, by the discovery of her husband in his true character, were manifested with a natural and un- affected vigor and effect, which we have never seen surpassed. Mrs. Brougham is indeed one of the most agreeable actresses we have ever had amongst us, uniting all the fuscination of a most lovely per- son, and most lady-like demeanor, with histrionic talents of no ordinary excellence. Mrs. Hauton- ville as Violante looked very pretty and acted with great taste and spirit. The,other characters were well sustained, and Charles Mestayer as the Mock Duke, acquitted himself in a very creditable man- ner. Mr. Brougham is the only man on the stage who dees not suffer by recollections associated with the memory of the lamented Power, with whom Mr. B. was long connected in the bonds of cherished friend- ship. Mr. Brougham’s Irishmen are not caricatures. They are real genuine impersonations. At the Park there was a good house. Hackett is well received, but poorly sustained. Why do they not get half a dozen good looking actresses to dis- sipaté that gloom which seems to have settled so thickly on Old Drury? The pretty Julia Turnbull has been prevented from appearing here for some nights past, in consequence of indisposition, but is recovering and is coming out with an elegant new dance some of these nights. Disrrict Arrorney Resicnep.—James R. Whi- ting, Eeq. has tendered his resignation to the County Court, to take eflect from the 12th of May. The candidates for the vacancy already in the field are John W. Edmonds, John McKeon, James T. Bra- dy, and James M. Smith, jr. Get shaved and be ready. Sreamer Rocuester struck a rock or something else in the Hudson, on Wednesday, and received some damage. It occurred near the Highlands.— Her passengers were taken off by the Westchester and brought to this city. Some baggage was lost, some nerves shattered, and the steamer will be rea- dy for her trips again in a day or two. Stenor Bexeprp’s Concert Tus Eventsc.—This gentleman’s concert takes place this evening at Ni- blo’s Saloon. Sig. Benedid’s very high reputation, indeed we believe he is unsurpassed, upon the gui- tar, together with several other eminent perform upon the same instrument, and a very attractive bill, cannot fail to draw a full house. Some of the pieces will be performed upon twelve guitars, constituting a great novelty. Joun Anperson’s CompLiMENTARY CONCERT THIS Eventnc.—This concert will take place at the Apol- lo this evening, He will be assisted by the Misses Cumming and Mr. Clirehugh, and also by Mr. Phil- lips, and several other distinguished artists—being a combination of vocal and instrumental music.

Ricuagp M. Buarcurorp sworn and examined on tle art of Mr. Hoyt—Is agent ofthe Bank of England; has for many years acquuinted with commercial trans- actions; the commission charged upon bank transactions ia one per cent, that per centage applies to millions as well ag to small amounts; the Bank of England paid that per centage to the United States Bank for collecting. Cross-examined by the Distuict Atrorney—I never knew any difference between the per centage, whether the sum on which it was charged was $100 or $1,000,000; but if Iwas an agent, and receiving a salary for that agency, I would not consider myself entitled to charge a per centage. Q. If you were an agent for the collection and disburse- ment ofmoney, and received a salary for it—that the dis- bursement was to be made in a particular way, andif the mode of disbursement was afterwards altered would you consider yourself entitled to charge the per centage in consequence of the alteration. A.—I don’t think 1 would. ‘The question was afterwards put in another shape, and the witness stated that in his opinion the per centage was chargeable. The remainder ofthe dey ‘was occupied in reading the correspondence of Mr. Hoyt, and the functionaries at Washington. The Court adjourned at three o’clock until to.morrew (this day.)

BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL, Philadelphia, [Correspondence of the Herald.1 Purtapgcruta, April 20,4 P. M. Large Sale of Stocks and Loans at the Merchants? Exchange,. Philadelphia, yesterday. Mr. Bennerr :— The extensive and peremptory sale of bank and other stocks and loans, came off at 12 o'clock this day at the Merchants’ Exchange. Assurance hav- ing been given that the whole would be sold with- out any reserve or limitation whatever, a large number of our capitalists congregated, probably with the expectation of getting a good bargain. The whole sale was completed in one half hour. The bidding was animated, and the purchases con” fined to but few. Such a gathering together of the capitalists of the city and county has not been wit- nessed for some time. ere were at least two hundred presert in the Rotunda. — The purchasers were but four in all, and only one of the four on individual account, Mr. Comegys Paul. The other three were bank agents, pry is lows:—R. M. Lewis, for Bank of Pennsylvania; W. Gill, for Commercial Bank; R. D. Wood, for Phila- delphia Bank “ The whole amount of sales to be divided pro rata, tor CHa of purchasing and other banks inte- rested. The stock was considered by the knowing ones presen’ sold remarkably well; and it is my belief \d there been any one present to “bid up,” the amount of purchase would have been higher, for there wasa determination on the lee of the agents of the Philadelphia Bank, the Bank of Pennsylvania and the Commercial Bank, and of the Trustees of the United States Bank, on whese account the sale took place, to buy at any thing like a fair price, as you may see by the bid on the bonds of the Delaware and Raritan Canal Company, and Camden and Am- boy Railroad and arieags seen Company, 5 per cent interest, when the Bank agents bid as high as 80 against Mr. C. Paul, who bought at 804, only one bond On the remaining 9 bonds being put up, Mr. Wood agent for tie Philadelphia Bank bid 70, and they were knocked down to him, no individual yen- turing to bid against him. Another evidence 1s noted on the stock of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Company, which started at 15, and Mr. Benjamin Tevis proposed to a friend a wager of one oyster s@pper that he could Tun it te 22, which was taken, and pricier ae ata time he reached 21 50—22 was bid by Mr. Gill agent of the Commercial Bank, and Mr. T. won his et. On the bonds above mentioned, and which were started at 60, a wager was offered that they could be run to 80; and sure enough they were. These bonds were sold at $4 44 to the £ ey so that the pur- chaser made 36 cents on each, the bonds being pay- able in England at $4 80. This fact caused them to run up. Ithad not been stated on the catalogue, and the question as to the amount of pounds sterling selling price having been pui by a spectator, was answered by Mr. Thomas, the auctioneer, that they would be: sold at $4 44 to the £ sterling, so much per cent on the dollar, and they at once run up. ‘he terms cash, payable on or before Monday the 24th inst., at 1 o’clock P.M.

Arrest oF THE Murperer.—An examination was had this morning before Alderman Redman, of an individual who was arrested on suspicion of hi ing committed the late diabolical murder in Balti- more county, Maryland.

Upon his person was found a deed conveying property from himself to one John Storch —value $800, a small amount of money, and a lease of property in the city of Baltimore. He an- swers the description as given in the advertisement exactly, and there is but little doubt but what he is the actual perpetrater of the foul and bloody deed.— The Alderman, after a long and close examination, committed him te 0g Hon.

QG- ANTICIPATE DISEASE.—The old custom of going through a courserof medicine in the (spring, is like many other old customs which are scoffed at by moder flippancy,a very goodone. Personsare usually more ii temperate both in eating and drinking in winter, then at any other period ofthe year. The bracing healthy atmo- sphere of the season, however, prevents the effect of these excesses being felt the time. But when the warm ring air relaxes the system, when the pores open, and the vital action becomes less vigorous, the impurities which had lain dormant in the elements of the blood dur- ing the cold weather, begin to develop themselves in the shape of disease. These impurities should be swept awa: in the spring, by the use of proper medieine, and healt! and tone imparted to the digestive organs, io order to enable the system to bear up against the enervating hea of summer. For these purposes there are no preparations fo speedy, thorough, aad certain in their operation, as Peters? Vegetable Pills aud Catharlic Lozenges. A few doses of either, taken at this season of the year, may not only save hundreds of dollars in physicians’ bills daring the summer, but perhaps life itself. Be wise in time. A preventive is better than acure. O/fice, 125 Falton, cor ner Nassau street. Thursday, April 20-6 P, M. The Britannia, at Boston, gives us again 12 days later news.

The symptoms are an increased supply of bills of, fering for discount, but not to an extent which affects the Priceof money. Inthe manufacturing districts there is undoubtedly an improved business, but not sufficient to warrant the extraordinary speculations in cotton in the face ofthe large crop. These speculations have been at- tributed in some degree to the hostile tone of Sir Robert Peel in Parliament, on the receipt of Mr. Webster’s dis Patch. It will be remembered, that that dispatch claimed an unconditional disavowal of all right of visit or of search.
