(rasan EE Sf Commercial Re.ations with Exotanp.—The proposed new treaty with England, for the mutual arrangement of tariffs of duties, on principles of recijrocity, has created a great deal of discussion and remark in the various journals throughout the country. Generally, among all the mercantile, moderate and agricultural interests, the proposition, as far as we can perceive, has been received with a good deal of favor. The only opposition to such a treaty, has come from the ultra politicians of the two large party camps into which the country is divided—and, even from these, the opposition has been rather faint and inefficient. Among the greatest objections which we have seen, is that interposed,’as is supposed, by the con- stitution, which gives the power to Congress assem- bled to arrange all tariffs. According to this view of the subject, it is contended that such a subject as the arrangement of a tariff does not belong to the treaty-making power, viz:—the President and Senate. Buteven this objection can be overcome, by requiring for such a treaty the concurrence of both houses after it shall have been arranged by the two executives. Something of the same kind is now required in carrying out every treaty. The Senate must confirm a treaty directly, and the House of Representatives indirectly, by voting the supplies, before any treaty is in operation. We are persuaded that commercial treaties will yet become a great topic of discussion, not only in this country, but throughoutthe world. According to the views now entertained, they form the firmest basis of peace, amity and friendship, between na- tons. Goop Timzs.—The times are certainly improving —at least in commercial and agricultural affairs, whatever it may be in moral and religious mat- ters. Business of all kinds is now very healthy—prices low and steady—exchanges every where equalized —trade prosperous, and good stocks and products rising moderately according to the demand and judi- cious management. The weather and season are also good—and the chance of most abundant crops very fine. It is probable that the productions of the earth, during the ensuing season, will be 10 to 20per cent more than ever it was before in the United States. Foreign immigraats, and vast quantities of specie are pouring into the land. Such is our position and prospects. It is evident, however, that next year, a great po- litical contest will be fought between the supporters of aU. S. Bank on the one side, and the supporters of a specie currency and the present state of things onthe other. The fluctuations which will be caused by this contest, will affect all stecks—particularly State stocks—although the trade in the great agri- cultural staples may be untouched. It is safest to be confined to cash business in real goods—but not to touch stocks at all. From Washington. We understand from our private correspondent at Washington, that the President will soon make the following appointments to fill vacancies :— Mr. Upshur, of Virginia, Minister to France. R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, to be Secretary of the Navy. Doctor Mallory, to be Chargé des Affaires at Constantinople. ‘These will all be very capital appointments. Mr. Hunter isa man of talents, and a triend of John C. Calhoun—so also is Doctor Mallory, who will go to Constantinople. These appointments are taken from the original friends of Mr. Tyler—those who first supported him in Congress—but will ultimately support Calhoun. They did not abuse him savagely and then come out like many of the mercenary rascals in this latitude, because they saw some chances of getting a mouthful of the spoils. Few further changes are expected to be made here or im the northern cities, until after Captain Tyler shall have returned from his June excursion te the Bunker Hill Monument. Major Joe Hopkins, of this city, has received a promise of some of the pickings of the naval con- tracts im this quarter. Many others ‘have had the same promises, but they don’t amount to much. Wanted to Purchase, The celebrated bed, with the sheets, blankets and other paraphernalia, in which the Hon. John Minor Botts, of Virginia, and Captain Tyler, President of the United States, slept together on the night of the 2d of March, 1841, in Brown’s Hotel, Washington, where the affairs of the nation—the whig party, and the country were discussed and settled. Also, wanted the single wash-stand in which both washed —and the towel which both used on that celebrated day.

Rat TRANSMISSION OF THE NEWs BROUGHT BY rue Great Western.—We find the following arti- cle inthe “‘ Rochester Evening Post” of Saturday last :— Postscript! HUZZA FOR OPPOSITION ! Saturpay, 2§ o'clock P. M. We have just received by Messrs. Bailey & Howard's Express messenger, a copy of the New York Herald of Friday morning, containing news twelve days trom Lon- don. “This brings us within 13} days of England ! ‘The paper was kindly brought to our office, and for this especial attention we feel bound to render our espe- ciel thanks. It contains a postscript, dated Friday, 40” clock A. M. This is unprecedented. The Great Western ar- rived here at 3 o’clock A. M. on Friday, and by means of the news boat establishment of the New- York Herald—the steamboats to Albany—and the western railroad to Buffalo, the news was transmit- ted about 500 miles in about 30hours. Can they ex- cel this in Europe, er the world ? Removat.—Col. Chas. A. Ciinton was yesterday removed trom the office of Clerk ofthe Superior Court. All the Judges of this Court, (three in num- ber,) held various offices under the late De Witt Clinton, (the father of the Colonel,) and were in- debted to him for many political and personal fa- vors. Of course they have fully discharged these debts of gratitude by the removal. CuatTuam THEaTRE.—It is almost unnecessary to refer our readers to the Chatham bill; all are no doubt aware that Yankee Hill is playing ao engage- ment there, and that to-night he plays two of his fa- vorite characters. Strangers visiting the city who desire a little recreation and genuine amusement, cannot fail to be gratified by attending on this occa- sion. Those who have before had the pleasure of witnessing his periormances require no recommen- dation from usto ensure their attendance.

His journey, or progress through Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York, will create a great sensation and excitement. Great preparations are making to give him a splendid reception. Mr. Webster leaves Washington early this week. He partakes of a public dinner at Baltimore on Thursday, and makes a great speech, defining his position—the state of partie the future.

The body was re- moved by Patrick Finn, John Finn, and’ William Nevering; and when the Coroner arrived at the place where it was found, to his astonishment he ascertained that it had been taken out of lus juris- diction, in violation ef the State law, and also a re- cent city ordinance, prohibiting removal of dead bodies out of ae without a certificate from the City Inspector. e authorities of Westchester should take this matter in hand at once, as the man may have been murdered and thrown overboard. Buretary 1n New Jersey.—The store of Park & Creveling, of Unionville, Morris peg 3 New Jersey, was burglariously entered on Thursday night, and robbed of dry goods valued at about $200. Officers Relyea and Kellinger having been apprized of the robbery, proceeded in search of the rogues, and in so doing ascertained that all the pro- pares moan had been taken to Levy’s pawnbroker ertablishment, in East Broadway, and pawned for $50. The goods being identi! they were re- turned to the owaers, and the pawnbroker was left minus his fifty dollars. Information was received last evening that a man been arrested in New Jersey who was supposed to have committed the burglary. ‘Tue Countarcweck Quarreisome.—We are re- quested to state that the charges latelymade at the pores office by George H. Morris, coal dealer, No. Gold street, in this city, against Philip T, Wins- low, for obtaining coal under false pretences, an ac- count of which was published in this paper of the 14th of April last, are entirely erroneous. Mr. Wi low was onorably discharged on his first examina- tion, as there was nothing which, in the slightest degree, established any of the allegations mentioned under the head of police reports,and published in our peoet of that date ; and the complainant Morris has been held to bail in the sum of one thousand dol. lars, in a suit commenced against him by Mr. Winslow for false imprisonment. mittee had full; son he had no epiigictel stl the resuit of such investigation.— je then Finance Committee of the Common Council, in which Base os Asnsete Niebey lane i¢-—aMlermen Pe RD oF ALDERMEN—Mo! 1b, an Pur- dy in the Chair. — Sranpino Commitrers.—The President announced the following as the standing committees for the year :— . ene Sor Office—Aldermen Dunning, Scoles an yu.

The objec- tions, as gi y the Mayor, are, that the joint Croton water celebration committee, who authorised the compi- lation and printing of this work, had no such power ves- tedin them, and that it was therefore neces: that an ordinance should have both boards of Aldermen, and received the sanction of the Mayor, before it was le: gal. ‘ nae id Cig ge who a oy) work hte appointed only forthe purpose of making arrangemen’ ipepsise Highs intreductien of the water into the city, and their expenses were limited to $2000, nearly all of which had been expended for such special purpose ‘That another reason why he considerea it improper to or- der this publication at the present period is, that the rque- duct is not completed, as the bridge over Harlem river, which would certainly be the most magnificent and impo- sing he of the whole work, wasyet unfinished. Andin conclusion, that frem the $20,000 as applied for in the general tax bill, az appropriated for printing forthe pre. sent year, the recent Common Council had expended $16,000, leaving only $4000 in the treasury for the remain- ing cight months of the year. The vete was placed on file and ordered to be printed Another Veto —Another veto was received from theMay- or, refusing to sign the ordinance allowing the pullic square on the “ Five Points” to be used for theconstruc tion of a public school house,and giving as his reasons that the Corporation haveno more right to occupy such square with a building than they have to use the public streets for the same purpose. It is tobe hoped that the square will be cleaned up and improved so as to be an ornament ‘to that part of our city, instead of a receptacle for all the Coal ashes and filth of that peculiar neighborhood. Communication from the Mayor.—A communication was receiv rom the Mayor relative to the grades of water pipes, ow being laid down in avenue A, on the east side,which he asserts will require a corresponding expense on the west side, costing together nearly a quar- ter ef a million of dollars,and which will materially in- terfere with and prevent that full supply inthe Bowery and other points of high ground in the city so necessary incases ot fre and other causes.

Chief Clerk of the Treasury Depart- ‘ment, who produced the necessary affidavits and papers re- ceived from New Orleans, had been taken, and that oneor two other w! , the megistrates determined to com- mit the prisoners for further examination. And on its being suggested by Mr Hoban that bail could probably be obtain- ed for Reines, and the Justices being desired to state the amount of the security which would be required in his case, the sum ofone hundred thousand dollars was, after proper deliherotion, demanded. In default of bail, the three prisoners were committed to Prison by Justices Gi- berson, Goddard and Thompson. reat crowd having assembled around the magistrate’s office, the ers, were, at their own request and expense, conveyed to jail in two hacks, in custody of Captain Goddard, the Deputy Marshal, officers Burr, Dexter, and other attendants. « The description ofthe prisoners laid before tne Justices, and which was received at the Treasury Department, Sorrespenied exactly with the persons of Breedlove, Jewell, and Reines, except that the scar on Jewell’s face, “believed to be on the left cheek,” was found to be on the right cheek. No doubt is however enter- tained that cp ds the persons described in the adver- tisement and hue and cry. But, as if to remoue all doubt on the subject, and to obviate the nccessity for any further examination in this city as to the identity of the Prisoners, Capt. H 8. Harper, Deputy United States Mar- shal for the First Judicial Distriet of Louisiana, and offi, cer Jno. Cottom arrived in this city from New Orleans, (which they lefton Friday, the 6th inst.) abeut an hou’ after the commitment ef the prisoners, for the purpose o! CNecicrep esters on behalf of the Louisiana authorities: should they appear to have been apprehended in this city. Being present when the officers from New Orleans visit- ed the prisoners in jail, on Saturday evening, we had an opportunity of witnessing their mutwal nition. The prisoners all seemed pleased to meet the officers, whom they recognised as old acquaintances, and expressed a perlect willingness, nay, a desire to go back to New Or- leans rather than remain in our county jail. We under- stand that the New Orleans officers intend to remove the enemas from this city with as little delay as practica- le, The subjoined is the description of the three prisoners sent on by the Louisiana authorities. is proper to add that a fourth person, named Marsh Halliday, not yet ar- rested, is charged with being concerned in this great rob- bery of the Treasury notes from the New Orleans Cus. tom House. No description of Halliday’s person has been giaen inthe paper of which the following is an exact copy:— Fro. M. Breedlove is represented to be about 6 feet 6 or 7 inches high, rather stoutly built, dark hair and eyes, no whiskers and but little beard—s very genteel ISbking young man. 3 Joseph W. Jewell is about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high,ve: stout, has a large scar on his cheek (believed to be the lel cheek) black hair, and usually wears large whiskers; is about 40 years old; came to this city from New York where it issaid he was tried for homicide ;for \ lling « watchman; whether he was acquitted or par known here. Sawyer Reines is about 5 feet 6 or 7 inc! igh, jighter made than Jewell, dark cos ae b hair and whiskers,and is about 40 yearsold. On searching the persons of the mers e jail there was found in Breedlove’s pocket book al $165 in notes of various banks and some small change in silver. On Jewell’s person was found two dollars and a halt. On Reines’s person only twenty-five cents. n searching at Brown’s Hotel the rooms which Breed- jove and Jewell occupied, there were found in the trunk former, $40 in bank notes, 1 Mexican doubloon, 5 les, 3 half oagles, 1 large gold stud, 29 sove- geld watch chain and key, $1 in American go! quantity of very el t clothing. In Jew- ell’s trunk was found various articles of wearing apparel, but no money. Sureman, THE ABsquaTuLATOR—Parers anv Mo- NEY FOUND UPON HIM WHEN ARRESTED IN.

The applice- tions were a failure. In order to put some face on the matter, a few persons subscribed, not to pey any money, but to give certificates payable next September, on condi- tion that the whole loan istaken. The subscribers are as follews :— Jaceb Little & Co. J.N. Perkins, cashier and Ohio State agent. R. H. Winslow, broker, employed by the Stote of Ohio. Drew, Robinson & Co., money changers. Ketchum, Rogers & Bement, brokers. Rufus L. Lord. John Rankin. Joseph 8. Lake & Co., Ohio Commissioners. The loan isof course an utter failure. The 19th sec tien of the law authorising the loan is as follows Sec. 19. That if the sum so borrowed by the Fund Com- missioners,under the provisions of the seventeenth section of this act, shall not amount to six hundred thousand dol- lars,then the Canal Fund Commissioners shall issue fo said contractors, if they require it, certificates of stock of the State, bearing an interest of 7 per cenlum, payable semi-annunlly in the city of New York, and the principal redeemab! thousand, le in said city gfter the year one hundred and fifty-one, eal in amount with the sum so borrowed , and paid to thém, to the said sum of six hundred thousand dollers ; which stock shall be issued to said con- tractors, in a le proportion to their demands upon the State; and the balance of said payment shall be com- Pleted bythe sale or isue of the Komestic bonds of the tate hereinbefore provided for. The demestic bonds are 7 per cent, redeemable in 1951, or at any time previous. Hence it willbe observed, that contractors have a right to demand, receive the 7 per cent stock, and sell it at once, while the market will bear it. In September money may become scarcer than now, ‘and they will suffer immense loss. If the contractors ever hope to get their money froma State which has refused to be taxed to pay them, let them demand the 7 per cent stock while the money market is easy. The Ohio 6 per cent stock dropped 4 per cent on Saturday, when the re- sult of the loan was known.

"9 a ol aor att ae Merchants’ Exchange Co, — a 10 -t- -4¢ The business of the country is undergoing a complete renovation. Leading and experienced merchants look upon the business of the past year as the lowest pointend that henceforth the movement will be one of improve ment. Official records show the imports of the district of New York, fur the yearending January, 1313, to be as $51,000,000, against $76,000,000 in the corresvonding. Period of the previous year, being a decline of 33} percent The greater pert of this diminution took place during the six months suoceeding the expiration of the Compromise Act, June 30,1942. To that period succeeded sixty days of uncertainty. No mercantile enterprises were embark: ed in, because of the impossibility of knowing whether goods would be prohibited or admitted free. The political struggle ended in the prohibitive tariff, which took effect September 1, 1842. ‘The average rato of duties under it is 35 per cent, ad valorum; in addition to which the terms of thecash duties, requiring the merchant to possess an active cash capital equal to the amount of the goods con- signed to him, made the operation of the tariff almost pro hibitive. This was a grievous burden at atime when the rate of money was high, and the dispositions of capitalists and banks suspicious. The weight thus imposed upon the movements of importers was increased by the change in the mode of doing business with the interior, caused by the liquidation of the banks, which had heretofore been the machinery for the conduct of trade. The dealers of the interior formerly bought freely, because they depend. edupon discounts at home to meet the long dated paper they gave for their goods here, and which were payable at the bank at their own place of residence, Under this system business moved freely and readily. During the past year $60,000,000 of banking capital has gone into li- quidation, destroyed by the effects of the system it genera. ted. Six States, comprising three millions of the largest customers fer foreign goods, were thus left comparatively without banks. The inevitable result of this was, those States, as well as many others where the banks were obliged violently to contract, could make no other pur- chases than they had the cash to pay for. This cash they, in most cases, had to earn, while the produce of their in. dustry sold at prices so lew as to afford no profit. Thus the tariff destroyed the imports on one side, andthe want-
