NEW YORK -HERALD. “New York, Wednesday, April 26, 1843. Herald Literary Depot. Al! the new and cheop literary publications of the day for sale, wholesale and retail, at the Hexatp Orrice, orthwest cornet of Nassau and Fulton street. Important from Washington—New Views and Movements of Captain ‘Tyler and bis abinet, We have received private intelligence from Wash- ington, of a somewhat important nature in the pre- sent situation of parties and of the country, and in relation to the views and purposes of the Cabinet, that we think may be reasonably depended upon for its accuracy, during the next month atleast. Mr Webster returned to Washington last Wed- nesday, with the intention, half made up, to retire from the Cabinet, and to take some other position in the progress of civilization that naught be more agreeable tohis talents and hisfame. But on his arriving at Washington, he found things in such a position, thet he was induced to pause before he took the final leap across the chasm. Several curi- ous influences had been at work during his absence, and several curious removals had taken place, be- sides a few others that were in the seed. Immediately on the heels of Mr. Webster’s arri- val, the unexpected intelligence reached Washing- ton, that the legislative caucus of New Yerk had nominated Mr. Van Buren, and recommended the month of November, this year, for the time of holding a National Convention to carry out that foregone conclusion. It was also ascertained that several of the new appointments in this State had been false moves—particularly the appointment of Mr. Davis to a post office, who immediately after puthis name tothe Van Buren address, thus cast ing contempt on the ‘‘ Captain,” and almost Jaugh- ing in his face at the trick. These movements created a great commotion in the White House, and Captain Tyler, after a long and deep consultation, again took a new direction, and made uphis mind toretain, for the present, Mr. Webster in the Cabinet, with all his associates, and to take the chances of being able, by uniting with ail the friends of Calhoun, Cass, Buchanan and Johnson, against Van Buren, to defeat the November Conven- tion, and to defeat Mr. Van Buren’s nommation in the May Convention of next year. This is a somewhat formidable position, and will give Captain Tyler and his Cabinet a very potent voice in the action of the next.Congress—and in the presidential election of 1844. The next Congress contains.a very large majority of democrats—all opposed to the elevation and to the measures of Mr. Clay—and generally in favor of a moderate tariff, and other similar measures sup- ported by the democracy. But itis very uncertain how the next Congress stands in relation to Mr. Van Buren and his rivals. In the meantime Mr. ‘Webster’s success in his recent negociations has emboldened him to attempt a greater piece of diplo- macy than any that hasbeen thouzhtof. We allude to a plan of forming comprehensive commercial treaties with England or France, by which the mutual tariffs might be arranged on a scale calcu- Jated for the reciprocal interests of both parties. By this mode of dealing with the tariff, it is expected that a final blow would be given to the party agita- tion of such a topic hereafter—and thus take Mr. Clay’s principal shilelah out of his hands. On this subject Mr. Webster has consulted many of the most eminent mannfacturers and merchants of New Eng- lard and New York; and it isthought sucha plan of dealing with the subject is practicable by such an intellect as that of the Secretary of State. We also learn that Mr. Spencer intends to intro_ duce many reforms into the revenue department,and that he will present such plans to the next Congress, in finance, currency, and the public lands, as will command the attention of that body, and upset al} the schemes of the speculatars. It is also stated that Secretary Upshur will prepare an entire new code for the regulation of the navy, and that such deplorable catastrophies as that of the Somers will be provided for and prevented in future. That awful tragedy will certainly cause a most searching investigation to be made into the present discipline of the navy, and the relative rights of of- ficers and seamen—and no man is more capable,from his industry, patriotism and talent, than the present Secretary. These are some of the new views and new posi- tions assumed by Captain Tyler in his cabinet— principally brought to a head by the recent move- ments made in Albany and Harrisburgh, bearing on the next Presidency. ‘The whole intellectual force of the cabinet—(and it is a force not to be sneezed at) will be exerted in every way, to wield the un- known energies of the next Congress, and to turn them into great national measures, hostile to Van Buren and Clay, and uniting the influence of Cal- houn, Cass, Buchanan, Johnson and the administra- tion into one powerfal movement. Mr. Webster will take New Engiand in hand—Mr. Spencer, New York—Mr. Porter, Pennsylvania, and each be a master spirit in his own domain hostile to the Clay and Van Buren forces. ‘The effect of these movements vigorously carried out, may net be to re-elect Captain Ty!er, but itmay ensure the defeat of Clay on one side and Van Buren on the other, leaving the best chance to Calhoun or Cass, or some other man in the May Convention. Think of these things as you please, but you will find that there is something in our philosophy worth more than U. 8. ik stock. : Guippon’s Lecrures.—No great stir was created by these lecturee—not half tke interest which the subject demanded. We attribute i: to the bungling and unscientific manner in which the whole sub- ject was discussed. Mr. Gliddon possesses a vast fund of information, but has no mind to classify.— Instead of deducing some great theory, and estab- lishing some grand truth, on the inductive system of philosophy, he seems to unsettle every thing. At one time he attempts to prove the truth of the scriptures and show grouuds tor faith in them, and then again he exhibits some 300 different systems of chronolo- gy. The mere cumulation and aggregation of facts, without the power to classify, generalize, and de- duce, only tend to confuse the mind, and leave it in still deeper darkness. Mr. Gliddon should take up the whole subject in a new form. Mrs. Horn’s Concert —This evening at the Apollo Saloon. There is a novelty in the arrange- ment of this Concert which, we think, will prove very acceptable to the amateurs of vocal music. All the pieces seclected for the occasion are to be Irish. ‘This strikes us as a judicions idea, for to the Anglo Saxon blood, at least, there is no music so delightful as the Scotch and Irish melodies—which indeed are cognate. Mrs. Horn will be aseisted by several ladies and gentlemen of good repute as vocalists,and the accompaniment will be given by the indispensa- ble Mr. Timm Mn. Raxemany’s Somee.—This delightful enters tainment will come off this evening, atthe lecture room of the Society Library. It is the last of those three musical entertainments, the plan of which has been so much approved, aid the execution so de- Jightful to all who attended. Among the delights of the evening will be the overture to Oberon, four hands, by Rakemann and Scharfenberg—the Cham- the Hexameron and Rapetti’s violin. panella Arrownrments.—We learn that there is a probabil- ity that Mr. Cushing may go to China—but we doubt whether there is the slightest chance for Mr. Noah to go t Constantinople. We are happy to hear the latter newe, for Noah is utterly incompe- tent t6 fill sucha position; and we are sure Mr. Webster would never consent to send him there. Sr. Gronae’s Socery Dinxen—In our report of this dinner the speech and sentiment given by Dr. Bartlett were accidentally omitted. The Doctor gave, after some very happy remarks, “The memory of Shakespeare.” Dr. Bartlett's health was drank with great enthusiasm, and many high compliments paid him by several of the company City Intelligence. : Porace.—Burglariesare stillon the increase in our city, and will continue until the wateh system is changed so as to compel watchmen to remain at their posts until broad and clear daylight, and also totake their stations at the dusk ef the evening. The majority of the burglaries committed take place before the wateh go out in the evening and after they leave in the morning, when rogues have from one to two hours, time to exereise the full scope of their energies, as the city isthen without protection. This is one of the most necessary reformations of the police department, and as the present Common Council lave neglected to make any change in our miserable police system, it isto be hoped that the new Boards will immediately adopt some system that will rectify the evil here so plainly presented. Piexrocket —On Monday evening while Wm. H, Watson, of 39 Monroe street, was engaged in Washington Hall listening to the exercises of the evening in the midst of the spectators, he felt some genius endeavoring to explore one of his coat pock- ets, and allowed him to grope away until he drew forth a pair of worsted gloves, worth twelve cents, and a lead pencil valued atsix and a quarter. He then seized the rogue and handed him over toa po- lice officer who lodged him in the Tombs, where he gave the name of Wm. Gawby, aad he was fully committed for petit larceny only, as we have no sta- tute in this State, as in Pennsylvania, to punish the contemptible crime of picking pockets as a separate offence. Caucut axp Cacep.—On the 6th instant Mr. Be- naih P. Sturgis, of 53 Grand street, left his store in charge of an acquaintance for a short time, and on returning, found that $55 in bank netes had been stolen froma trunk on the premises. His assistant stated that a man named Saviours Orr had come im tothe place in the course of the evening and re- quested him to step across the street on an errand, which he consented to, leaving Orr alone on the premises. Suspicion falling upon Orr under these circumstance, he was arrested, and on searching him a $1 note of the North River Bank was found in his possession which Mr. Sturgis identified by the figures 334 on the back as one of the notes that had been stolen. Orr was therefore fully commit- coon this evidence and other circumstances of guilt. Banx Note Pepiar.—On Monday a fellow who was endeavoring to sella bank note list inthe dry gooils store ef William Harned, 355 Hudson street, very slily deposited a piece of calico measuring about thirty yards, under his coat, and was about walking off with it when he was nabbed. He re- fused to give hisname when taken to the Police, but it_was afterwards ascertained to be Edward Francis. A large number of pawnbrokers? tickets were found in his possession, being no doubt the proceeds of other larcenies which he has commit- ted while under the pretext of disposing ot bank note lists. He was fully committed ai the upper Police. Tue New Frencu Stxamers.—It will be recol- lected that the French government are about to commence running a new line of steamers between this country and France—N. York and Cherbourg—- which is essentially between New York and Paris. This arrangement js expeeted to commence in June next, and_will constitute an entirely new fea- ture in steam navigation and transatlantic commu- nication. The distance, in time, between London and Liverpool, and between London and Panis, or Cherbourg, is about the same; and as the new steamers are torun once a week, it is very manifest that we shall not only receive all our French news by this line, but a very large portion of our English news also ; and not only so, but the China and other news by the great Eastern mail ; for as it all passes to England by the way of France, it is of course received there first, and will thus reach New York earliest by the French steamers. In a literary point ef view, the new arrangement may be expected to create quite a revolution. The interchange of French and American periodi- cals will be very greatly multiplied, and the slight difficulties of the language will be easily overcome and gradually grow less. As the French govern- ment establish the line merely in rivalry, and as an equipoise, to the English steamers, and take no freight, it is evident they care nothing for expense, but will endeavor to run their steamers rapidly and regularly. New York will become the great cen- tral point, the vertex of the angle, at which the two lines meet, and thus'derive a two-fold advantage.— The competition may also bring down the price of passage across the Atlantic. Trave.inc To Burraio anp NiaGara.—Such are the present facilities by steamboat and railway that the traveller can now leave New York at 7 o'clock in the morning, and arrive in Buffalo at 8 o’clock in the evening of the next day—making the whole distance, of 550 miles, in about 36 hours, and at the trifling expense of some twelve or fourteen dollars, or two cents per mile. A cheapness in fashionable travelling never before known. By this arrangement, a visit can be made from New York to the great western wonder—Niagara Falls—and the whole expense of going and return- ing, not exceed $30. The effect of this must be to increase the travel upon this route very greatly. When the new line of French steamers commence running, there will be a greater number of French visitors to the Falls than there has ever been be- fore. Tue Streets—Tus Srreets.—Just as dirty as ever. Never did a city enjoy such facilities for cleanliness as New York. With two rivers—one upon each side—and a ridge running through the central length cf the city, from which the ground descends each way to tid. water; and then whole rivers of water intersecting every street and lane of the city from one end of it to the other—and yet with all these natural and artificial advantages com- bined, the streets of New York are Jittle better than so many pens with the gates open, for the cultiva- tion of a certain animal immortalized last fall at the great Agricultural Fair by Mr. William Lincola. But we understand that the new Common Coun- cil when they tuke the reins of administration on the 9h of May next, will forthwith repeal the con- tract, and either fall back upon the old system of street cleaning, or else employ the new machine which has recently been invented. Reniciovs Anniversanres.—This Holy Fair is ra- pidly approaching. Great preparations are in pro- gress. Representatives are expected to congregate here froma great majority of all the known reli- gions upon the face of the earth, and even some | that are unknown, The Quakers are already in town. Millerism will also be here, as also a touch of Mormonism, Kaapps, Swans, Kirks, and D. D's. without number—Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Methodists, Unitarians, Baptists, Episcopalians, Universalists, Abol ists, Colonizationists, Che- rokees, Choctaws, Hindoos, and Hottentots. We are preparing to report them all, and give to every one his portion of type in due season. The question as to the time of the end, or of the denoué- ment of this grand terrestrial drama, 1s expected to come up. The probability is, that on consultation, the time will be postponed to “a more convenient season,” Tae Exprosion on noarp THE Mourcan.—The explosion which took place on the Stonington line on Monday evening, arises from some cause. For- tunately it occurred on the outer side of the boiler. Had it been on the opposite side, the accident would undoubtedly have been attended with most serious and distressing results, The inquiry, therefore, is one of great interest—what was the cause? Was the boiler in itself insufficient?) Was there a defi- cient supply of water, or was it in consequence of aq extra re of steam? That satisfactory an- swers should be given, must appear obvious to every reflecting mind, and the subjectis one of great in- terest to all. Ought not the steamboat inspectofs to explain the cause of this accident? Annuat Exwipition or Pantincs.—We hear but little said about the forthcoming annual exhibition of Paintings. It is time something was done about it. Inthe meantime we advise the lovers of the fine arts to stepin at the Granite buildings, and look at Huntington’s two pictures, taken from sub- jects in Buoyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress. They will see some exquisite touches of the peneil « Warasit ann Erie Cana. is in navigable order, St. Louts. (Correspondence of the Herald.) Sr. Louis, April 14, 1843. Depressed State of Business Generally—Distreas among the Mechanics—Expeditions to the Rocky Mountains. My Drax Sin— Complaints are made here that money was never more indemand. There is a complete stagnation in every department of trade, and merchants are offering their goods at Eastern prices. There isa fall of 50 per cent on almost every de- scription of merchandise—such as dry goods, gro- ceries, hardware, marketing, etc. What will be the result of all this, Heaven only knows. Whether the rich are becoming richer, is more than I can tell; but this much is evident, that the poor are every day becoming poorer. Even the rents, which for several years past have been on the increase, have undergone a very perceptible change. Houves which not more than twelve months back, were considered cheap at $20 per month, now bring from ten to twelve, and are called too high at that! : There is very little business of any kind doing in St. Louis at this time. Hundreds of mechanics may be found here idle and in a state of absolute penury. There is very little, if any, building in progress -reason, the lien law pnssed at the late ses- sion of the Legislature, secures to the industrious mechanic payment for his labor. There are several expeditions to leave here on or about the Ist of May for the Oregon Territory, Roeky Mountains, &c. There are hundreds of young men anxious te accompany them—many of whom will be unable to go for the want of means to fit themselves out. Many of our finest steamboats are lying at our wharf, being unable to obtain either freight or pas- sengers sufficient to warrant their departure. Such, sir, is but an imperfect sketch of the severity of the times in St. Louis; but one from which you may obtain a tolerably satisfactory conclusion. Ireman yours, truly, W. M. Ovrraces on Tue Coast oF Arrica.—It appears by the following that the English cruisers have re- commenced their right of search on the coast again. We should think that it was about time that our eighty gun African Squadron received orders to sail: [From the Boston Transcript, April 21.] From Araica.—Capt. Dayley, of brig Ceylon, wrrived at Salem yesterday from Africa, reports, as we learn from the Register, that the barque Roderick Dhu, of Provi- dence, commanded by Capt. Richard T. Sims, of Salem, was at Accra, Dec. 10, to sail for windward coast. Capt. ‘Sims had been boarded by an ofticer of H. B. M. brig Spy, and treated ina most shameful and insulting manner, in- somuch that Capt. 8. had felt bound to make a represent tion of the cave to the British Commandant of the \. Capt. Sims’s statement was fully corroborated by an Eng- lish gentleman, a passenger with him atthe time. The same officer boarded the Ceylon the day after, and Capt. Dayley states that he was so sottish in his appearance would not invite him into his cabin. The otticer, howev- er, did not wait for an invitation, but when Capt. D. went for his papers as demanded, followed him into the cabin of hisown accord. The Prince de Joinville had been on the coast, visited all the foreign stations, with which he expressed himself extremely pleased, and sailed for the Brazils in January. Mu.ertsm 1n BattiworE—Snower or Surravr- —There wasa curious shower in Baltimore last Sunday. It was awind fall forthe Millerites. One of the papers in speaking of it, says:— There fall yesterday a considerable quantity of rain, preceded and accompanied by thunder and lightning. It ad also rained heavily on the night previous, and in tho morning the water in the basin, in the lower part of the Falls, and in the rain water cisterns, barrels, &c. was completely covered with sulphur, or some substance ex- actly like it in appearance, which had evidently descend. with the rain during the night. lt was also to be seen in the streets in considerable quantity, where it had been left ‘on deposite” by subsiding puddles. The believers in Millerism, noticing the coincidence between tl shower and the day of the month—the 23d of A| alarmed, and foncied the existence of the world was cer- tainly about to terminate: but the afternoon’s rain washed away at ence the sulphur and their apprehensions, and “ic transit”—Mille in Balti Cotumsus Bank Rozrers.—The Savannah Re- publican of the 2st instant, gives the following par- ticulars:— Letters were received in town last evening by the western mail, stating that John L. Lewis, HRS Bass, Thos. McKeen, and —— Jackson, were the robbers of the Western Insurance and Trust Com- pany. We understand McKeen, who was arrested, disclosed the names ef his accomplices, on condi- tion of his being released. The robbershave been arrested and the money all recovered. was the book keeper of the institution, and was one of the officers who was locked up inthe vault. We understand some of the others concerned were men of respectability. Theexcitement in Columbus is represented as surpassing all descripti Tue Season.—The weather has at last become fine, and decently settled. At all events the snow has disappeared and the warm weather set in in good earnest. The spring has been unusually back- ward, but according to all expérience in these mat- ters, it may be expected that a backward spring will be followed by warm weather, and a fruitful season. If this 1s not good news to the poor and the husband- map, it is at least a very cheerful consideration. Literary Notices: Swaxsrearr’s Dramatic Works anp Porms.— The Messrs. Harper are publishing a very beautiful edition of Shakspeare, with notes, and numerous etchings on steel, to be completed in eight weekly numbers, at 25 cents each, with nineteen illustra- tions in all. INo. 3 is just issued. It commences with “Taming the Shrew,” has ‘Winter’s Tale,” the “Comedy ef Errors,” and “Macbeth,” entire, end concludes with a part of “King John.” _,Tne Neicunors.—This is a story of every-day life, by Frederika Bremer, translated from the Swe- dish by Mary Howitt. Saxton & Miles, 205 Broad- way, New York. It isa very pretty story, well told, and highly spoken of. Tue Wives or Exatanp, with their relative du- ties, domestic influence, and social relations, by Mrs. Ellis. D. Appleton & Co., New York. The ublic have olten heard of this work, and all we have to say of it is, that its price is one shilling Macautay’s Misceutantes—cheap edition—vol. 4—complete in four volumes—price 25 cents—Carey & Hart, Philadelphia. Tue Lawyer—his character and rule of holy life —by Edward O’Brien—1 vol,—price 25 certs—Carey & Hart, Philadelphia. This appears to be the pos- thumous work of an upright and gifted barrister of the Irish bar. Tne Catiroric Exposrror.—The May number, 2, of vol. 4of this valuable monthly is justissued It coutains a very pretty lithograph view of St. Peter's church, in Barclay st. Tus Man or Tur Peorte—By C. G. Rosenberg— J. Winchester, Ann street. From a hasty inspection of this work, we should think it must possess uousu- al interest. It oceupies sixty closely. printed pages of the New World, quarto form, for 183-4 cents. Conquest anp Srir-Conquesr—We have re- ceived from the Harpers, a small volume of very neat appearance, which we think is destined to meet with general approbation. It is entitled “Conquest and Self-Conquest; or, Which Makes the Hero?” and will eflectually counteract the erroneous idea that real courage is displayed in that spirttwhich 18 ever ready to rush into physical combat. It is an American story; and thia, together with its intrinsic merits, should obtain for it a very extensive sale. Brack woop’s Epinsvren Macaz No 330, for April.

The domestic drama entitled Rosina Meadows having been received last night with such bursts of enthu- siasm, it will be repeated this evening, together with the farce of the Irishman in London, in both of which Mr. Brougham takes part. Sim Craries Bacot.—It is said that the late Go- vernor has been for some time laboring, at intervals, under aberration of intellect. Aumost a Fatat Durt.—Another duel in New Or- leans.

Present the Circuit and District Arnit 26.—The People vs. Jesse Hoyt.—! the Court had taken their seats, the names of the Jury were called over, and Mr, Selden resumed his argument, which he finished about 12 o’clock. Mr. Selden principally relied upon the fact thet several items in the transcript of the 7 reasury account was erro: neous, from which he argued that if it was erroneous in part it was erroneous in the whole, and eught n+tte be received in evidence. % Mr. Tattmanax, late Judge of the Superior Court,replied to Mr. Selden, and continued to speak until 4 o'clock, when the Court adjourned to 10 o’clock this day.

The Trastees of the 3d Congregational Church had purchase! the fee simple of the premises in ques- tiontoerectachurch, At thetime ofthe purchase, it was let toa person ofthe name of Ellen Jobbs by the fendants, It was alledged that she had agreed to surren- der up the premises to them before her term expired. The plaintift was in possession of the premises under a lease or some agreement from Mrs. Jobbs,and he refused to ive up the possession. The Trustees proceeded against him in one of the Ward Courts under the statute giving landlords right totake summary proceedings against over- tenants. Upon th | eigemmepevm order was had sa the plaintiff, and he was accordi sly turned ession. A non suit point was raised by de- Counsel, and the Court adjourued this day to look over authorities.

Carpenter, et al.—This was an action of replevin, to recover back a horse taken under a Jandlord’s warrant. # Ferguson, one of the defendants, was the owner of a lot in Greenwich street, which he let to a person named Gayly. On this Jot were a range of stables. Gayly sub. let to diff-rent other persons, and amongst the rest to the plaintiff Westervelt. Gayly allowed his rent to get into arrear to the amount of $59. Several applications were mode to him to pay the rent, but he was either unable or unwilling to pay. It was alleged on the part of the de- fendants that Westervelt was apprized of the rent being due by Gayly and required to pay his rent in future to the defendant Ferguson. The plaintiff declined to pay either party, Ferguson issued a landlord’s warrant and levyed on the plaintiff horse ; the creed issued a re- plevin and retook the horse, and no further proceedings were had under that replevin. In January last the defendants issued another landlord’s warrant and levyed upon the same horse. ‘The present action was brought under the exemption law to test the validity of the last seizure. The defendant set up asa defence that the seizure was made before the exemption law passed. His Honor charged the jury in substance, that if they were satisfied from the evidence that the property seized was exempt undor the statute, they should find a verdict for the plaintiff, but if they should be satisfied first that the seizure was made before the act was passed, and se- condly that the property did not come within the provi+ sions ofthat act,and were not satisfied on these points they should find for the defendant the amount of the rent claim. ed, which was oueraict for plaintiff subject to the opinion of a full ‘ourt. r Wilson for plaintiff ; C.

In January 1842 Mrs. Sarah Carroll,with her daughters, the plaintiffs, occupied hionable part of the city, had an adve ment inserted in one of the news- papers for a servan' e advertisement was answered by a girl named Catharine Killen. Catharine was hired by Mrs. Carroll and continued to live in the family about it the end of that time she left Mrs.Car- service and claimed a bulance of $28 due to her for ges. She subsequently sued Mrs. Carroll in one of the ward courts for this sum andobtained a judgment her ; an execution was issued and put into thede- h da lass levyed upon ; a writ of retaken, upon the jigned the house and ‘ousehold furniture to the plaintiffs, her daughters, and that under that jignment the property was vested in them. The plaintiffs produced no witn Sanan Kitten was examined on the part of the defence and corroborated the facts in the opening statement of defendant’s counsel. His Honor charged the Jury, that if they believed the ownership of the property was in Mrs. Carroll, they should find for the defendant for the full amount of the Judgment. _The Jury will return a sealed verdict to-morrow mor- nieg.

The following is a list of her officers :—John A. Davis, Lieut. Commanding; Henry Eld, Jr. 1st Lieute- nant; Charles E. Fleming, 2d Lieutenant: Hamble- ton F Porter, Master; Charles W. Tait, Passed As- sistant Surgeon; John H. Parker, Passed Midship- man; Samuel B. Elliott, Midshipman; William H. su Captain’s Glerk; Samuel S. Reeves, Master’s ate. Bank Rior.—It was rumored at St. Louis on the 12th inst., that a design was on foot to mob the Bank of Illinois, at Shawneetown, Some 400 persons were concerned, and were to meet in Shawneetown on a certain evening. Only fifty ot them arrived. The number being insufficient, they thought it prudent to defer the undertaking toa fu- ture day. r P.,ene of the bank’s agents, consi- dered the bank in danger; he became alarmed, and drew the syecie for the amount he had—20 cents on the dollar—and received certificates for the balance, and left for farther West. Sounp Sreamers.—These boats have not yet changed their depot to Pike street. We really hope that no change will be made. The steamers start from the right place now, and it would be an outrage to remove them a mile or two up town.— Starting from Pike street would be very much like starting from Blackwell's island. Anoruer Rist.—The Hudson, at Albany, was rising on Saturday and Sunday. Basements of the stores at the foot of Sta‘e street are again under wa- ter. The bridge below Fort Miller has been car- ried away. Nor a Sincur.ar Marriace.—Chang and Eng, the Siamese twins, were married on the 13th instant, in Wilkes County,N. C.,to Sarah and Adelaide Yeates. This is a most extraordinary marriage. Earty Croaxers.—Rumors are rife at the west that the wheat crop now in the ground is almost ruined. This isto affect the price of grain now going into market. Emtoeration.—Florida begins to fill up with emi- grants. They like the orange groves and the magnolias. Knox Manvat. Lanor Cortece.—This institution in Salesbury, Illinois, was destroyed by fire on the 14th instant. Library saved. New York Canats —All repairs will positively be completed and the canals opened next Monday. Onto Canat.—This improvement is now in navi- gable order as far as Massillon. Laxe Ene —Navigation between Cleaveland and Detroit has been resumed. Wasuinaon Invina's health has suflered since his sojourn in Spain. Evytirety Oren—The Ohio and Pennsylvama Canal.

It ie a siugular fact, that while United States 6 per cent stocks are at 112, Treasury Notes bearing 6 percent semi annual, are dull at 1 premium, although they cannot be called in under 60 days notice from the department, and by law are fundable in this stock. This would argue that speculation only holds up the stock. The treasurer of the new board having resigned, W. H. Hays, Esq., was unanimously elected to the vacancy. Mr. Smith, son of Officer A. M. C. Smith, has been ap- pointed Sergeant at Arms. The members elected yester day were, Robert M’Jimsey, Esq, W. Borrowe, R. Noe, Sydney C.Jenin. The followiug resolution has been pro. posed forthe adoption of the Board :— Resolved, That whenever anymemberiof the Public Stock Exchange shall be in default, and on the settlement of his accounts shall not divide among his stock creditors fifty r centum of their several claims, the aforesaid default. ing member shall, as a matter of course, for six months thereafter, place in the ha of the officers of the Ex- change.to be by them deposited in one of the banks of the city of New York, at joint trustees, five per centum on every time sale or purchase of stocks, and it is hereby further resolved that no defaulting member shall be re- eligible to the Public Stock Exchange after the first day of May next, who shall not pay to his stock creditors twenty-five per centum of his defalcations. If they are going upon the principle of re-admitting defaulting members at all; the resolution 1s far too lenient not to be rigidly enforced. The great lines of communication and internal trade in this country are Railroads and Canals. Nearly all these works have been undertaken by the various State Go- vernments; ‘very few of them, however, yield any re- venue, or even pay the cost of their construction. The Erie Canal is, we believe,the only canal in the country which yields a profit on its construction.
