Another Great Speech from Mr, Webster at Boston, ‘Last evening a great meeting wes to be held in Faneuil Hall, Bosten, to receive Mr. Webster on his own battle ground. It was expected that he would make another great speech, following up the movement made in Baltimore, and giving further insight into his posiuon—the position of parties—and the new policy he has pursued. We have sent our reporter te Boston, and we expect his return to-day, or to-night sometime. We shall publish this speech probably to-morrow morning in the Sunday edition—or in an Extra Herald. ‘The work goes bravely on ! Progress of the New Movement for Com- mercial Treaties—Adhesion of the Wash- ington Globe. One of the most remarkable events of the day 1s certainly the movement recently made by Mr. Web- ster in Baltimore, towards a more comprehensive and liberal policy to be pursued by the United States in relation to commercial matters. On every side the truth, beauty, sim ity, and good sense of this movement, are making converts and provoking discussion. The politicrans and the journals of the most ultra schools are astonished and paralysed at the force and popularity of the new impulse. One or two ultra whig papers that came out at the firet blush egeinst the movement, have shrunk back alarmed and ashamed of their effrontery. But the great wonder of the day is the full and complete adhesion now given to the new policy by the “ Washington Globe,” the organ of the ultra Jocofocos, and of Mr. Van Buren’s chances for the presidency. We annex the whole of the article from that paper, which is as curious in its approval of the new policy as it is in its objections to Mr. Webster as the minister to carry it into eflect :— [ From the Washington-Globe } “Commenciat Treatize.”—In England, os well asin this country, the subject of commercial treaties is arrest- ing public attention. The great body of the people of ‘both nations are sfflicted with the most intolerable taxes. ‘rhe Englishman is taxed for agg: thing he eats, apd the American for what he wears. The great body of the English people are taxed for the benefit of the Jandhold- ers, Who, in that country, are comparatively avery small class. The body of the people in the United States are taxed for the benefit of the manufacturers, who are a ve ry small propertion of the population of this country. In England, there are vast numbers of people employed in manufacturing, and they produce a great superfluity of manufactured articles; and in this country, agreat ma jority of the people are engaged in agricultural pursui und there is the greatest abundance here of all the pro. ductions of the soil. Now, rs to be the easiest and most natural be in the that the people of the two nations should exchange superfluous produc- tions—the products of the soil for the products of the lJoom—and thus administer mutual relief. This process seems 40 simple, so obvious, and so sensible, that it must at once receive the assent of overy mind: ‘et go- vernments have been #0 perverted, by the machinations of interested men, from their only legitimate object— which is the greatest good of the greatest number—‘hat laws have been enacted to prevent the mutual inter- change between netions of those things which they have most of, for those things which they most desire. The Englishman cannot give us his cloth for our bread, al- though he may be starving for bread, and we are very much in want of his cloth. ‘This most unnatural state of ings is brought about by the activity of a comparative- 11 preportion of people in each countr y—the capi- ‘his classof men are generally shrewd and ac- ; their wealth makes them powerful, asd brings with itthe desire of increase. A few active, shrewd men, with money at their command, can always command le- gislation; and, as the great desire of such men isto in- crease their wealth,the legislation which they bring about isgenerally such as will give them advantages over other people—in other words,they convert the gevernment into asertof machine totakethe money out of other persons’ pockets to fill theirown. ‘The pcople of both countries begin to grow weary ef this operation. The Mimsy pre- texts invented by interested men can no longer b! the le to their true interests; and the system called the protective will eventually be exploded. In this country the people have be (per ed, apd are determined to buy from those whoseil the cheapest. The English peo- ple are now making an etiort for a similar objept. It is not probable that they will be able to achieve all that they desire; but it is certain that, in order to appease them, their masters wili be obliged to cencede something to their demands. But the men who wield the power in gland jwill concede ne more than bsolutely neces- to preserve the rest of their privileges. It makes no ference in what shape these concessions are made— whether by treaty stipulation or etherwise; the} still be concessions made to the people of England—con- cessions yielded to necessity—concessions made to the wretches about to sink under starvation and want, super induced by her miscalled protective policy. Itis at this crisist that Mr. Webster comes forward and offers himself as @ negotiator between the two govern- ment One of the Maders of the lately-defeated tariff party comes forward, and intimates that the time is now ripe for an “arrangement” between England and the Uni- ted States by which the commerce of the two countries shall be regulated on the principles of reciprocity. Mr. Webster does not say, in so many words, that be is ready to undertake this delicate negotiation; but he has put forth his feelers, to ascertain how the pulse of the nation beats on that subject : and it is confidently announced in some of the papers that, if Eagland should send com- missioners to treat with this country on that subject, ‘the Presizent will appoint Mr. W. to meet them on the part of the United States. We cannot see the p:opriety of employing a high-tariff man like Daniel Webster, who has been retained as 2 sort of counsel and advoca'e forthe manufacturers all the days of his life, to make an ar- rangement with the British whieh is to rid usof our tar riff on manufactures. Neither can we sec the propriety of having a full minister at the Court of St. James, if he cannot fulfil the duties of his office, and we must appoint special commissioners to settle all question which arise between the two Governments. We never hear of Mr. Everett, except that he has been figuring away at some jair or cattle show ; whilst Mr. Webster has superseded him in all the duties ot his office. We desire very much to have the products of our soil admitted into England, at as low rates of duty as possi- bie. We wish, also, to see the duties in our country put down as low as ix compatible with revenue purposes — And, if these very desirable objects cannot be attained otherwise than by treaty stipulatiens, we think it due to the Democratic party that the negotiations on this impor- subject should be Kage mt by rd man be ae that party can r confidence. e le of the United States hare shown themselves distatisficd with the Whigs, and particularly that portion ot the Whigs of whom Mr. Webster isthe leader ; and any negotiations touching the tariff question ought to be conducted and completed by the Democrats. The American people have shown Clearly that such is their wish and expectation, by placing that party again in power. The objection to Mr. Webster may be easily ob- viated. Let John C. Calhoun be appointed in the commission—will not that save yourjfeelings ? or do you want Mr. Benton or Mr. Van Buren? We are in a new age—and.new combinations and asso- ciations are certain and positive. We are not par- ticular as tomen. The old quarrels of party are “obsolete,” and cannot be revived. But perhaps the Globe is fishing for another purpose—will it be pleased to say whether it is a candidate for the print- ing of the next Congress? This new policy will hold the balance of power on that question. Take care, therefore,"and come on the popular ground in time. Young Blair has already disgraced his father’s sheet by false and malicious attacks on this journal, and we mean to have something to say on these movements and ‘ntrigues for the future. ‘Thus it is. All the ultra parties of past times seem tobe crumbling to pieces before the free souls, the iree thoughts, and the free press of the present day. Mr. Webster only takes a position in the van of a miglity revolution that has been preparing for ten years past. He who will not join it, or get out of its progress, will be crushed into oblivion. Fonny.—Charles King, of the American, saysthat “neither Mr. Webster, nor the shipowners who ap- plaud his speech” are very consistent. Pray, does Charles King know the interests of the shipowners better than the ship owners themselves? The lose of the office of Postmaster has strange effects on men’s reasening powere. Charles has come to the conclusion, in politics, that ‘‘two and two don’t make four.’ Squarine tux Cinccs.—Mr. Slam, of the re- speetable firm of Slam, Bang & Co., and Colonel Webb of the “‘regalar army,” have recently made a diseovery in mivor morals, which is equal to squa- ring the circle in physics. The recent singular self certificate whieh Thurlow Weed Esq., published, testifying to his propensities to political lying, is consitered the best evidence of his high character as a noble, generous, and exquisitely-delicious fellow. ‘This may be called squaring the circle in morals.— Verily, this is a great and wonderful age.

Carman and Stewart, who were, anxious to gethome. The fact of our city fathers letters from Sing Sing relative to the contests and quarrels about the change of officers in the prison. ready published too much en these petty and ridicu- lous disputes. Sreser Cizaninc—Pourmicat Jvcersny.—The ‘streets still continue in just the same state of filth and dirt as heretofore—we do not see that change of Political administration has made any difference at all, unless it be that it was dirt and dust under the whigs, ard itis now dust and dirt under the locofo- cos. Atall events, it is certain that the locofoco administration has neither, repealed nor repudiated the contract, nor swept the streéts. There seems to be some very curious political jugglery going on—some imtricate management in progress—and a deep’ political game to be played. The Jocofocos threaten the whigs that they will re- peal the contract. The whigs, and especially the contractors, are afraid. Something must be done. So they propose, {or the proposition is made from some quarter, that the sub-contry:tors shall be ap- pointed from the locofoco party, which would of course throw all the labor offstreet cleaning into the lecofoco party. If this proposition should be accepted, then the locefocos will let the contract remain as itis. All that the present administration seem to desire is that the work of sweeping shall be done by locofocos. And itis in this view of the subject that we can see why they are quite asaverse to having the streets swept by labor saving machinery, as to have them swept by whigs. Machinery savings would be po- litical losses. That too much is paid by this city for street sweeping may be easily shown, and also that this “too much” will give no dissatisfaction to any ad- ministration that has the sweeping to do. In proof of which we submit the following facts. The city proper of Philadelphia is put out for one year enly, at $9,500. The corporation of Spring Garden at $1,500 for one year. The corporation of Northern Liberties at $500 for one year. That of Southwark at $700 for one year, and that of Moya- mensing at $800, making a total of $13,500, fer a population of over 200,000, and about 100 'miles of streets. In Baltimore, with a population of 102,313, the corporation clean and sweep the streets them- selves, at a gross expense of $15,000 per annum. The manure collected is sold for $4,500, leaving a nett expenditure of about $10,500 perannum. In Boston the cleaning of the streets, we learn, costs nothing, {being swept for the profits of the manure alone. We have reason to believe that by the use of proper machiaery, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore can all be cleaned, and better than they have ever yet been cleaned, and swept more frequently than ever, at a price little greater than what the manure will sell for, and the inhabitants be secured in the enjoyment of greater comfort and/health, than by the present expensive plan. It then becomes a questien of taxation, filth and sickness, on one side, and of cleanliness, comfort, health and econo- myon the other. In other words, if the streets can be swept for $20,000, it is a question for tax payers whether they will consent to pay 40 or $50,000 an- nually, to serve a political party. Paratysis AMONG THE Po.rrictans.—The move- ment of Webster has thrown the whig party and the politics in Wall street into a complete paralysis. The “ Courier and Enquirer,” the ** American,” the “ Tribune,” and the “ Express,” are all as silent as death—as speechiess as the grave, about the great New England movemeat. The fact is the great com- mercialand shipping interest of New York wi!l go read and understand clearly tl ech of Daniel Webster. The subscription is now open—step up to the Captain’s office and take stock. Hore Derzerep.—Noah is running round town in all directions, blazing away about Captain Tyler, because he won’t send him to Stamboul at once.— “Why does he not put me out of suspense ?” says Noah ; “I killed a paper off to help him to mutton. Ihave other irons in the fire besides this, and I want another, &c. &c.”” ‘We would advise our friend Noah to take all these irons out of the fire. Let him stick to the good old clo’ trade—that is as profitable as any. DisapvantaGes Or Racine on THe Nortu River.

S., declared that there are no old maids in their system of society—every girl is married right off as soon as she enters the grand phalanx. Hereafter young ladies need not go to fowa for husbands—plenty nearer home. Fourier- ism is mighty and must prevail. Tae Croron Water.—Great complaints are made of the outrageous waste of this water all about town, and particularly in the upper part of the city. The consequence is that not only the fountains down town cannot play, but even the water itself in private and public houses will not rise more than halt way so high as it ought. Boys are allowed in every part of the city to open the hydrants at plea- sure, and play with the water as much as they choose. It is shameful. Is it nobody's duty to regulate the waste of Croton water? Sr. Perer’s Cuurcu, Barciay Srrert.— The anniversary of the opening of this Church will be celebrated on Sunday next, the 28th inst. Service will commence,at 4 past 10 A.M. The Choir will be strong and effective. The sermon by Very Rev. Doctor Power, Pastor of the Church. Tur Parx Ponp.—This sorry affair wants noth- ing but the frogs to make it a very decent frog pond. 1t will never do atallfor fishes, because they re- quire water allthetime. Frogs being amphibious, can do with very little water ; and indeed they can live awhile entirely without water,as they would of- ten be obliged to do in this pond. A Ricn Pixcu or Snurr.—The late Peter Loril- lard,who died worth nearly $5,000,000,made it all by selling snuff and tobacco. Thisis not to be sneezed at, certainly. .

Progaxss or THe Roman Catnorics atrae Wust. — We see it stated in a paperpublished at St. Louis that the Catholics have in that city, besides a Uni- versity, a Theological Seminary (in Soulard’s addi- tion) a Medical College, and several Free Schools, at which upwards of 400children daily attend. The public schools are maintained at an annual expense of $6,000, and yet furnish a much smaller amount of instruction to the youth of St. Louis, than the free echools of the reviled Jesuits! It is also stated that these institutions are conducted with much liberality and public spirit. It appears to be the success and progress of the Catholics at the West which have so much stirred up the bitter feelings of the clergy, and particularly the ire of Dr. Beecher, against them. Street Pepuars.—Can nothing be done to drive those street pedlars out of the highways and byways? They pay no taxes—have no habitation, and yet occupy the best standsin the city. They come with theirstands in front of the most conspi- cuous buildings, with as much coolnees as if they owned the property. Musicau.—Wallace, a celebrated musician, has arrived in town, and intends to give a concert soon This artist is abeing of superior powers, equally on the piano and violin. He is also a musician of great and original genius, and gained universal applause in New Orleans, Havana, Mexico, and Lima. Signor Nagel,accompanied by his lady,sailed yes- terday afternoon, in a vessel for Bremen, on his way to Stockholm. Paggi,a celebrated player on the oboe, gives a con- certnext week. He will be assisted by several em- inent artists. Dempster has returned to town and givesa concert of Scottish ballads next week with the two Misses Cumming. He then commences a tour with these young artists, through the country. ‘ Signor De Begnis has jast returned from Philadel. phia, where he has been singing in some theatre or musical garden with great popularity and profit.— Why does not Palmo engage him ? PassaGes or THE Steam Suips.—The -fellowing from the Boston Courier does not place the fact in the right shape. It hastbeen repeatedly stated that the last passage of the Great Western, was'the shortest ever made across the Atlantic to the west- ward, distance considered, which, will be seen, is true :— ‘The Great Western left Liverpool, April 29th, at eleven o'clock, A. M., and arrived at Sandy Hook, May 11th, at eleven o'clock, P. M., and at New York, May 12th, at three o'clock, A. M., making the passage in twelve days, sixteen hours and twenty minutes. The Columbia arrived at this port from Liverpool, June ‘het leg twelve daysand eight hours from wharf to whar! The Acadia arrived August 2d, 1841, in twelve days and thirteen hours from wharf to wharf. The Columbia arrived August 1st, 1342, in twelve days and ten hours from wharf to wha! ‘The Acadia arrived November 17th, 1342, in twelve days and twelve hours from wharf to wharf. There have been twelve pesmearce sate by the British steamers between Liverpool and n in less than four- teendays. The Caledonia has made one patsage in thir. teen days and one hour, and there have been two pas sages made between Liverpool and Boston, besides those mentioned above, in less than thirteen days Porutar Excurstons.—The popular current is be- ginning te flow in all its force towards some of the neighboring watering places and fashionable resorts. Hopexen is among the foremost of the places. {ts fine country air, its immediate vicinity to the city, its magnificent promenades, and its great va- niety of attractions draw great numbers of people across to the Jersey shore. Jreland’s Garden is a beautiful stopping place. Now anp’s, at Prospect Hill, isanether fashion- able place of resort. Those who drive out of the city for a ride, as a matter of course, in crossing from Bloomingdale to 3d Avenue, or contrarywise, will always stop at Nowland’s in their course. Sraten Istanp—New Brighton, is also a fashion- able resort, and the Belmont House is a capital place to stop at.

All in addition to nearly 200 Oil Paintings, which are to be seen for One Shilling only. We say no person can go away dissatisfied. Mr. Colman requests us to state, that there is no charge to his book store or Literary Saloon, where fine engravings, drawings and scarce books, &c. will be found at as low prices as elsewhere in the city. Also, that his second public sale of Peintings and mounted prints will come off next week at his new room, No. 208 Broadway, where many of them may now be seen. ihe Earty Srrawsernizs.—We know who had the firet salmon—we know who had the firat asparagus— we know who had the first Amazone bonnet—we know who had the first shad—the first green peas— but who has had the first strawberries ?

Nisto’s Tagatnt —There was an overflowing audience last night to witness the début of the new Prima Donna, andhe first representation of the French Opera, L’Ambassadrice. Mademoiselle Calvé is in figure rather petite, with a ing ex- pression of countena Her voice is a mezzo soprano, of good quality, but rather deficient in force. She evidently possesses an extensive know. ledge of music, has studied in a good 1, and, in our estimation, is well calculated to shine in parts that do not require the very highest capabilities of a singer. "The plot of the Ambassadrice is soon told. Hen- rietta, a popular Prima Donna of Munich, captivates the amorous Duc de Valberg, and is sought by him in honorable terms of ini is introduced as the ecion of a decayed noble family, to the sister of the Duke, and Henrietta’s mother, who had played the second old woman atthe Munich theatre, is dignified into a Baroness, to the great annoyance of both the Duke and the Countess, his sister. Just at this time, the Manager, under whom Hen- rietta had reaped her laurels, comes to the residence of the Duke, to solicit his patronage. In his train he brings the first tenor, with a lady named Char- lotte, who has succeeded to the station of Prima Donna, and had captivated the evanescent aflec- tions of the Duke of Valberg. By accident this in- trigue comes to the knowledge of Henrietta, who determines to resume her profession. A whim of Charlotte’s enables her to carry into effect this in- tention ; and the Duke and her rival become unwil ling spectators of her second triumph. 4 At this late hour we have neither space nor time to notice the performers, but we shall resume the subject to-morrow semmnenens ~~ = Common Counci.—The various committees of the Common Council are nightly in active investigation, into the various subjects recently referred ‘to them for action- The committee raised to inquire into the violation of the Strect Contract, we understand will be prepared to report at the meeting of the Boardon Monday night. Alderman Tillou is enlisted in the subjectof Police Re. form, and will be enabled to present suggestions tending to remedy many of the evils complained of, Po.sce.-—The only arrest during the present week of any public interest, has been that of Theodore 8.

Court of Common Pieas, Before Judge {Ulshoefler. Mav 26—James Ludlow vs. Austin W. Ovis.—This was an action on an account—sum claimed is $138 99. In April, of 1841, the defendant ordered a bill of crockery of the plaintiff, to oe sent to Truxten. Before it arrived the defendant rented his store to one Sage. As the defendant claims, an arrangement was made for Sage to take and eettle fer the crockery when it arrived. In December, after Sage received the crockery, plaintiffs agent took Sage’s note at sixty days for the amount of the bill. The plaintiff claims that it was only taken conditionally. Ver- dict for plaintitf—whole amount. W. H. Taggart for plaintiff; R. Niles and Mr. Bosworth for defendant. Cireuit Court. Before Judge Kent. May 26—Juan Scorsur ve. The Brooklyn Fire Insurance Company.—On the 16th December. 1841. the plaintiff had three stores partly burnt down in Brooklyn. They were insured,and rebuilt by the Brooklyn Fire Insurance Com- pany. ‘A Mr. Martense, acting as attorney for plaintiff, did agree to take estimates. ‘The defendants, it seems, by some misunderstanding, went forward and repaired the houses. ‘The plaintiff # rger sum than it cost 10 lows the right of his attor- ney to act in the case so far as the alteration of the build- ings is concerned. The plaintiff, not satisfied with the repairs, sues to recover the amount of insurance. The Judge will give his charge in the case to-morrow morn- ing. Mr. Ketcham fer plaintiff; Messrs. Wood & Waring for defendents. Cwatuam Turatre.—Thorme seems determined to deserve and command a proper support at his fa- vorite establishment. We perceive that Yankee Hill is toenter on an engagement this evening in two of his best characters—Seth Slope, in the piece of that title, and Major Wheeler, in “‘ New No- tions.” Mr. Wood and his son, also appear in two entertaining pieces, rnaking four plays in one eve- ning—enough in all conscience to ensure a full house. Tue District Arrorngy.—We learn that the County Judges, who comin the Court of Common Pleas, and some of the Aldermen decline appoint- ing this important officer by secret caucus. The Judges refuse to go into caucus from motives of de- licacy, which we think perfectly correct, and should the Aldermen alone go into a caucus, then one of the most important officers, whose appointment was intended to be given to the judicial members of the County Court, would be made by a sub-caucus of city magistrates, which, if we understand party usage, is anti democratic. Let the County Court assemble in adignfied manner, and like men who are going about a work they are not ashamed of, go directly into a vote. If there were fears that a whig would be appoin‘ed, then and only then a cau- cus would be justifiable to prevent it, but no euch result can fake rece: ‘The candidates for the office are James T. Brady, Eeq , a lawyer of distinguish- ed ability, who has never, sihoegt @ warm party man, before asked for office. John W. Edmonds, of Columbia county, who already ho'ds one office, and his secret partner, Samuel J. Tilden, also of Columbia county,*holds another. Mr. Edmonds, we suppose, bases his claims upon old Columbia. He is right—she seldom fails here, when she enters the list. John McKeon, Esq. is also a candidate. John led off the Carroll Hall men from the party, and now asks the office as a reward for doing that which the party at the time begged and entreated James T. Brady to try to prevent, and who like a man, came forward to heal the breach. What will the Pilots say to the appointment of Mr.. McKeon— Johnny isa lucky man; he has already received party patronage to the tune of nearly $40,000; we think the Democratic party had better pension Sohn out at once, and be troubled with himno more — Messieurs Fathers of the city, which will you give us as District Attorney, a politician or a Jawyer 1— You have a good opportunity to do either. Joux Brown. We don’t agree with John Brown, who is proba- bly some *‘ done-brown” politician, nor do we care a button who is appointed. According to democra- tic usage, he who has received the mest heretofore ought to have more—the rich should be made rich- er and the poer poorer. MADEMOISELLE CALVE AND THE OPERA. {This young Lady appeared last night in the Opera of the Ambassadress, to a Saloon crowded to overflowing. She was enthusiastically applauded, and deservedly 20, for she passesses a remarkably sweet voice, and admira- bleexecution. The pieces went off remarkably well, and we suppose the opern nights will become fasbionable with the lovers of music. The Ambessadress will be repeated early next week. To night La Perle de Savoie ouLaGrace de Dieu, are both represented, first time in this city. Ithas been very successful in Paris. Made- moiselle Maria‘will sustain the principal role, assisted by Richer, Matthieu, Buscher (his first appoarance) Ber- rard, and Madame Le Court, a most admirable assemblage of the first artists of La Troupe Francaise. {G- AMERICAN MUSEUM.—Barcum may expect another great house to day, it being Saturday, a holiday, the benetit of General Tom Thumb, Jr., and the last day of his engsgement, last day of the Model of Paris, and the last chance to see the humors of Dr. Valentine. Go early to secure seats at the performances at four and eight o’clock. We learn that acorps of musicians and vocalists from Germany, will come ont at this establish- ment next week. ‘I'he Gipsey Girl continues her engege- ment. 0G THE VERY POWERFUL ATTRACTIONS presented at Peale’s New York Museum{continue to draw crowdedhouses. The manager appearsto be regardless of expense in hia desire to gratity his patrons. For the sum of one shilling he affords an infinite variety of enter- tainments. He moreover enga es artists of the greatest celebrity. Miss Adair, the charming songstress, has be- come quite a favorite—she sings most sweetly.

Oakely and Ryan, will not sail for London until the let proximo. It is un. derstood that about $400,000 of bonds have been subscri- bed to the new loan. As the No. of canal bonds is 4,500, the proportien for each bond will be $330 to each bond. ‘This proportion has been subscribed here. David Leavitt, Esq., has gone to Europe, and Mr. Jaudon sailed yester- day, both of whom are interested in the success of the new loan; and the arrival out of the commissioners, armed with so good a subscription herc, will bea great way towards success. In the Connecticut Legislature, on the 23d inst., the bill to constitute the Danbury branch: of the Fairfield County Bank, an independent bank being under discus- sion, Mr. Hubbard offered the following amendment :— And it is hereby provided, That the private and indi- vidual property of each and all of stockholders, be held linble for (he payment of any and all the notes, bills, liabilities and demands whatsoever, ef the President, Directors, and Company of the said Danbury Bank. ‘This was carried by a’vote of 92 to 70. Efforts will yet be made to nullify this salutary provision, which is looked upon as killing the bill. What stronger argument can possibly be given against the expediency of banking, than for its friends to avow that individual liability will prevent them from embarking in it? If those who pro- Ject and get up banks, are so thoroughly convinced of { their gambling nature, that they will risk no more then the amount of stock they subscribe, like the gamester who stakes his specific sum at the faré bank, why should the people suffer them to exist ? The bill holders of the Housatonic Railroad are’suffer- ing great wrong by the delay in selling eut the road to pay them. The bank commissioners stated that the com- pany propose, under the act of last session, to issue note, bearing 7 per cent interest to redeem the circulation, in default of which the road must be sold; in which case, the commissioners‘express their belief that the road will not bring more than enough to pay the bills in cirvata tion. Of course, ‘no one will take notes payable at a future day, when the Hartford & Springfield Railroad will compete with the Housatonic for its travel. The Long Island Railroad has excited some attention, like all other stocks, good and bad, under the abundance ofmoney. The general position of ,that road seems to be as follow: Cepital 3,000 1» $5 h ; pead ym 26%, Due the Stace, 300,000 ‘Totsl expenditure, Required to complete, ber of miles completed, Nember of miles to be completed Ofthe 44 miles, 23 are graded. The actual cost of the last 20 miles, was $9,000 per mile. The company state that they have had responsible offers to complete the road in ten months, for one-third in cash, and two-thirds in bonds, at4 and years, The cash, required, is $150,000, to be raised by calla every 60 days, of $1 per share. In addition io whieh, $300,000 of bonds will be issued, ma- king the whole cost of the road $1,628,500. Forthe year ending April, 1842, the expenses were $56,000 ja: receipts, 68,000 Excess, $12,000 When the road, is complete, the distance across the Sound, to connect with Stonington, is 24 miles; andthey estivoate that they can go through to Boston in 9} to 10 hours, They estimate the expenses at $130,000, and the receipts at $317,000, making $137,000, to be applied to dividends. If the $5 per share is substituted, making them $33 25 each, a dividend of six dollars per share, which the estimated surplus would sllow, would be 18 per cent dividend. The completion of the road would undoubtedly give a prompt and certain connection with Boston. Ata point opposite Bridgeport, branch of 6 miles long would strike the Sound, where it is 12 miles broad, and form a communication with Albany over the House- tonic, which, if sold out, and properly managed in new hands, will be prosperous. This seems to be the position of the Long Island road, and it offers some advantoger, but the crossings of the sound are objectionable, it a better communication can be hai.

The uni. form currency of this country,as regulated by the con- stitution, renders exchange operations the simplest that can be. No possible derangement cam take place until the constitutional coin is supplanted by the myriads of paper currencies furnished by a thousand issuing banks. ‘When that takes place, exchange from being simply the cost of sending 1000 silver dollars from one point to another, becomes complicated with the comparative va- lue of peper, credit of the banks that issue it, andthe supply which they furnish at. When the several logisia, tures, having created this confusion, they seek to remedy it by granting a monopoly of the business to somo large bank. The exchanges of Europe are conducted with the great- est regularity, precision, and cheapness, in the hands of private bankers, although the operations extend over ma- ny different nations, the currencies of which are entirely different. For instance, if the French merchant buys a quantity of wool in Spain, the sum to be paid is in pistoles of the kingdom, but he hes only france and centimes wherewith to buy a bill or order of a banker upon his correspondent in Spain for the pistoles. The francs are to be transferred to Spain in the shepe of pistoles. Acé cordingly the price of the bill, or the cost of the transfer is regulated by the relative value of the two moneys ; the relative values of gold and silver, and the actual state of the exchanges or balances between the'countries. Tho Spanish pistole is about equal to 16 francs. If,therefore, aperson in Paris has to‘pay 100 pistoles tin Spain, he would have to buy the pistoles, and transmit them, which would cost probably 40 francs. Instead of that, he goos to the broker, and finds that he can buy for 1,505 francs, a bill which will ensure him 100 pistoles in Bilboa in 30 days. He thereby saves 25 francs. The busincsa between the two countries running nearly equal in imports and exports, the supply of bills is generally about-cqual to the demand, and the individual houses buy and sell at 2 frac” tion of one per cent, and do a gooa business. The steadi” ness of the exchanges is greatly facilitated by the vast and regular correspondence of the houses, enablingthem to arbitrate on any third point when the direct rates run too high. For instance, between Paris and Amsterdam the quotation is always 63 to 68 pennies de gros. for 8 francs. Ifnow a remittance is to be made from Paris to Amsterdam of 600 florins, and in consequence of great scarcity of bills the rate falls to 43 pennies de gros for 3 francs—then 40 meter 3 france. 600 florins “* seee Hence it would cost 1,600 francs to remit direct; but it appears that the rate on London at the same time is 95 franca per £,and that London on Amsterdam is 35 por £— + This is} per remit direct then, costs, 800 Rnd indicect at certain rates, 1,486 75 Saving 6425 This operation makes the balances duo from one section ~pay the deficit due to another. ‘These complicated exchanges embrace all sections of the continent, running to each great money centre with the greatest uniformity and steadiness. There is no na- tional bank, no paper system, and no monopoly ofany sort; every thing ia free trade and fair competition. No idea of “regulation” is ever ventured upon.
