Nay, not only does that patriotic print preserve unbroken silence, but with a wonderful affectation of sagacity, it keeps talking away about the quarrels of the ultra loco focos and whigs, apparently dreaming that the minds | of its readers will thus be diverted from the great movement which has so auspiciously commenced. But this prudential policy will turn out altogether “*stale, flat, and unprofitable.” It is a pity that no- body will relieve the “Courier” from its painfully embarrassed situation, In the mean!ime the newspaper press, in general, throughout the country, is discussing the new policy ot Mr. Webster. The Washington ‘ Globe” is talking about ‘Commercial Treaties,” in a way intended to be very philosophical. It opposes the formation of any such treaty between this country and Great Britain, on the ground that England is dependent on the United States for supplies essen- tial to her very existence, and that if we “ bide our time,” that which we would now purchase, will be pressed on our acceptance. The “ Al- bany Argus,” continues to enjoy the fun created by the Baltimore speech amongst the par- tizansof Mr. Clay, and copies a very amusing ar- ucle trom the “Buffalo Advertiser,” which vents an immense quantity of spleen on Mr. Webster, repre~ seating him as an unprineipled and wicked “dema- gogue.” The “Evening Journal,” with most laugh- nonchalance, apologizes for Mr. Webster's “errors,” and kindly bespeaks for him the tavor of the public. ‘“Civet, good apothecary.” The ‘‘Port- land Daily American” tries hard to make merry at the popularity of Mr. Webster in New England, and the hints of his nemination to the Presidency. Uhe little “Daily American,” on this occasion is about as happy in its mirthas a rook attempting in a moment of gaiety the note of the nightingale. The “Buflalo Commercial Advertiser” is discussing with considerable ability, the advantages likely to acerue to the manufacturing interests of this country from the adoption of such ajust and reasonable policy as Mr. Webster advocates. The “Boston Evening Bul- letin,” as blind asa bat, cannot see the wtimatumn ot Mr. Webster's course. Pazienza—time opens the eyes. The ‘Boston Post” thus very happily al- ludes to the change which has come over the spirit of its neighbor, the “‘Atlas”:— On the 22d the Atlas shakes hands cordially with Webster. In its opinion all parties will commend the principles of this speech. It expresses the doubt that all intelligent persons express, whether Great Britain will ever accede to them, and come into a fair trade with But “ for other countries there is more hope,” it says, ai then it is ready to “ rejoice” that Mr. Webster h fied the particilar case of Brazil. i Mr. Webster, on the subject ofthe tariff, ‘ spoke the senti= ments of New England,” to acertain extent. And it had not a syllable ogainst the principle of commercial ar- rangement! But on the 25th, presto ! there is a change. astute editor sees “ a wound,” ranklii ous,” spread open before him. He perceives that and deadly blow” has been aimed at the protectiy tem: He can hardly contain his patriotic indignation.— He seizes his pen, and, in the following cant, hits one, of whom, not a year ago, it was said inthis same Atlas: “It is only necessary to mention the name of Daniel Webster to restore public confidence” !— “ Let no one (continues the Atlas, May 25th,) who looks to the interests of the American people, or regards the honor of the American name—let no such one propose to repeal the American tariff, and abandon the principle of protection to American industry, through the solemn and indissoluble forms of a treaty with a foreign power. We cannot hold him as our friend, or the friend of our coun- who attempts to deprive us ot the power of self-pro- tection, by involving us in the inextricable meshes of a foreigp anti-protective alliance.” “What does all this mean?” the “ Post” signifi- cantly asks. It means, probably, that the “ Atlas” has been delivered from the unhappy anxiety of the “Courier.” Will nobody open the ‘ Courier’s’* eyes? A New Eneranp Vintace.—We recently drove through one of the fairest sections of New England, and spent a few hours in the pleasant little town of Concord. It was one of those calm, refreshing days of the joyous spring-time, when the spirits of youth and hope are abroad upon the earth, andeven the rudest minds acknowledge the purifying influ- ences of a world— “ So clothed with beauty for rebelious man.” It was the Sabbath, and hundreds were flocking to the house of prayer. No showy equipage came roll- ing along—no sleepy children of lordly indolence were there—but the free, prosperous, and contented sons and daughters of honorable industry, went on their way to their unpretending village churches, there to ofier worship, more acceptable, we doubt not, than ever resounded through “long. drawn aisle and fretted vault,” where grandeur kneels in all the Unselry of pride. ‘The influence of the whole scene was inexpressi- bly delightful. ‘The blossoming trees—the dark green grass—the dazzlingly white cottages—the well cultivated farms—the smeoth winding road, ut every point revealing some new landscape—the fragrance ef the air—the varied outline of the dis- tant hills—the magnificent piles of fleecy cloud—all left an impression not soon to fade away. Then there were the thronging associations {connected with the localities through which we passed. Our thoughts reverted to the days of the revolutionary struggles. And then in happy eontrast to the scenes of confusion and blood thus recalled, the eye of sense rested on the evidences of prosperity and peace every where apparent. It seemed to us that peace and liberty rejoiced together as they walked hand-in-hand among those quiet hills, and that their solemn words of prophecy and triumph were re- echoed by a thousand airy voices in the vales be- low Concord is a very pleasant village, delightfully sit- vated on a finely cultivated plain. Here Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathamel Hawthorne, and other writers of eminence reside, and give tone to the so- i the place. The most interesting object we saw, was the simple monument erected on the spot where the first blow was struck against the tyran- nous government of the mother country. It stands on the bank of the Concord river, about a quarter of a mile from the village. It is an obelisk, about 30 feet high, surrounded by a plain iron railing. The following is the inseription which it bears—the touching simplicity and beauty of which we have never seen surpassed :— Here, On the 19th of April, 75, é ‘Was made ‘The first forcible resistance to\British Aggression. On the opposite bank, Stood the American Militia ; Here stood the invading Army— And on this spot The first of the enemy fell In the war of that Revolution which gave Independence to these Uaited States, In gratitude to God, i an In the love of Freedom, this Monument was erected, A.D. 1836, The monuments approached from the public road by a wide avenue, carpe}ted witha rich green sward aod lined on each side by flourishing young trees, which give good promise of meeting over head here- » in many a fraternal embrace. ‘This is a con- Hlere, on the calm summer’s eve, he their vows, and the old recall the “ss God that those glorious principles for ‘an ermy of martyrs in many a land have bled, have at last, in this western world, forced them- selves into & resistless superiority, before which the alter rated spot vers bre put, and t wh haughtiest potentates of earth have been made to tremble Biv Wittams.—This well known and favorite comedian takes his benefit at the P; evening, and will ap; Taeters ‘ark to-morrow sar in several of his best chee Meeting at Columb! Hall last evening against Hawking and Peddlings ‘The call was made for a meeting of New York citizens Oppesed to peddling goods through the streets and public thoroughfares of the city, and who were desirous of sup- pressing the same. At the hour appointed, a numerous body of merchants and others, had assembled. The meeting was Called to order by Mr. Jos. Battin, who nominated Mr. Lambert as Chairman of the meeting, which was carried. Vice Presidents and Secretaries were also appointed. The call for the meeting was then read. The Chairman then stated that three meetings had been held upon this subject,and en association formed to carry outthese views. The minutes of this association were then read. Then the by-laws of this association were read. The association is called the “ Mechanics and Tra ders’ Association of New York.” Mr. Blackford was was then called for, but did not appeai r. Ditchett was then invited to make some remarks, which he did. He spoke of these hawkers and pedlars, who are under no responsibilities, and who go through the streets, peddling their wares, paying no rent, and who ure thus enabled to undersell the honest trader and mechanic. He said peti* tions had been drawn up and presented to Assistant Alder man Dodge, and that was the last Hawking and peddling are prohibited by law, excepting vegetables, fish, &c., which are perishable articles Our business must in the end come before the Legislature. He invited people to come forward and join the associa tion, and madea motion to that effect, which was carried. A few came forward and gave in their names. A motion was then made to appoint a committee of three to draft resolutions to be passed by this meeting, which was car- ried, and Alfred Lagrance, Joseph Battin, and James Wood, Esq., were then appointed that committee. They reported the following resolutions which were passed unanimously :— Resolved, That the purposes for which we have this evening assembled together, is one fraught with very im- portant consequences to the welfare and prosperity of the Commercial and Manufacturing branches of trade, and to society at large. Resolved, That this meeting pledge themselves, one to the other, that they will leave no tried to put down this unlawful practice, regardful that “United we stand—divided we fall’ Resolved, That the petition to the Common Council be handed in to their honorable body at the earliest possibie day, and that we respectfully golicit their immediate ac- tion on the subject. Resolved, That we combine ourselves together for the protection of trade, and that our perseverance shall be #8 lasting as our grievances. Ourexertions shall only end with success: and that discouragement is a word not to be found in our vor Resolved, That w. our thanks to the editers of the Courier and Fnquirer and Herald for the kind manner in which they have received our proceedings. _ Resolved, ‘That the proceedings of this mecting be signed by the officers and published in the Courier and Enquirer and Morning Herald, and a copy thereof be transmitted to His Honorthe Mayor and the Board of Al+ dermen and Assistants. Some discussion arose ir relation to petitioning the Common Council. One gentleman thought it better to petition the Legislature directly, on the ground that the Corportion had no power to remedy the evil complained of. It was answered by saying that this association simply wanted the influeuce of the Common Council with the Legislature to make it a penal offence. It stated that these evils were very great, and that the Corporation had not the power requisite to remedy the evil, which existed in almost every branch of trade, hatters, tinmen, clo- thiers, &c, All these goods are hawked about through the streets,andthe pedlars are enabled to undersell all the regular traders. The form of a petition to the Legislature was then read, Asitembodiesthe views of the Asociation very fully, we are requested to publish it. It is as follow To the Honorable the Senate and sAssemb'y of the State of 4 . New York. Your petitioners, dealers in dry goods, hardware, gro- ceries, boots and shoes, hsts, crockeryware, glass and Woodenware, stationers, clothiers, confectioners and watchmakers, respectfully beg leave to ask of your ho- norable body, the passage of a law that will break up en- tirely the system of hawking and peddling, as it now exists in the city of New York, to tlaeatins injury of our several trades and occupations, and also as the means of destroying the oppertunity which belongs to us, of supporting ourselves and fam who are dependent upon our exertions, and at the same time pay house rent and taxes, and who are now suffering from this pernicious evil which exists throughout the whole State, and which cannot be abated, witheut a law is passed making it a misdemeanor, and +h will subject the persons impli- cated in this pernicious system of trattic to a fine of $500. Your petitioners beg leave to say that sucha law has been passed by some of our sister States, and feund to an- swer all the purposes required; and from the cordial re- ception it has met with among our regular business men, are satisfied that such aid is required of your honorable body, as will assist us in putting a stopto thesame Your petitioners also beg leave to state a fact, and as their just opinion that the hawking and peddling system opens a wide door for the encouragement of Pere ry en crime of every possible kind, as stores that have been broken open and robbed of the several articles of merchandize, that we all deal in, have ultimately been found in the hands of this kind of dealers, thus offering inducements to the young and uninitiated to continue on in the paths of wickedness and vice, to the serious injury of the ho. nest and good, whose success in life depends upon their industry and perseverance. Your petitioners also beg leave to state that every article now ottered for sale by hawkers and pediars, some pay a license and some do not, and the greater part of them are foreigners that have no families to support, pay no store rent or taxes, or in any Way are interested in the general welware of thecountry. And your petitioners hope and pray thet immediate re- lief may be afforded them. And your petitioners will & * A gentleman here stated that ¢ ject had been re- ported upon by a committee of the Common Council, of which Assistant Alderman Atwell was chairman, and that report stated that there were ample and sutticient laws upon this subject already in existence, and they only required to be enforced. er for the police, and if you will pay the police they will attend to it, and he thought the better way was {or us to attend to the busi- ness directly ourselves, enforce the laws, and give our money for this. He said he list year paid arent of $1200, (he was a stationer,) and he had no doubt that there were more steel pens, &c. sold by pedlars before his door, by those who paid no rent, than he sold himself. Another gentleman said he was opposed to the whole transaction—he was a free trade man out and out—he was for letting men buy goo's and sell them wherever they choose—in the stréets or in thestores. He was called to order, and sat down. His negative was the only one heard in relation to petitioning the Common Council, and also in giving thanks to the New York Herald and Courier & Enquirer. The chairman here announced that the business of the meeting was finished, and that the next meeting would be advertised jn the Sunand Herald. The meeting then ad. journed. bulary Ke, Tue County Court, ann District ATTORNEY.— The County Court at its meeting on Monday last, did not appoint a successor to Mr. Whiting; but af- ter ordering that gentleman’s letter of resignation to be entered on the minutes of the Court, their Honors adjourned over for a fortnight. This apparent deli- beration has at least the outward form of discretion, and ought to lead us to hope that when the Court does finally act upon the subject, a” candidate will be selected to fill the office, who will be entitled to the confidence of the community, whose special guardian and protector he is in theory, and should be in practice. The office of District Attorney of New York, is not one that should be bestowed upon a mere politi- cian, (even though he be by profession a lawyer,) as a reward for party services, however great or me- ritorious those services may be ; because if political claims, or party services are to be rewarded in mak- ing this appointment, there are in this city some twenty thousand “good men and true” in the de- mocratic ranks, who would be entitled to be made District Attorney. If party services are to govern in this business, why not give the office to some of the extensive firm of Slamm, Bang & Co.—for instance Col. Ming, than whom a better veteran in the great cause of democracy could hardly be found; yet we suppose that the worthy Colonel (whose un- dying patriotism to his party no man will doubt) would hardly wish to serve the people as District Attorney of New York. In selecting a person to fill this station, it is not to be expected that the party in power will go out of their own ranks to find a man to fill the office. It is not necessary that they should do so, and yet the office may be worthily filled by a person in every Tespect competent to discharge the arduous end re- sponsible duties of the station. It would be invi dious in usto undertake to speak of the qualifica- tions or diequalifications for this office of those gen- tlemen whose names have been prominently men- tioned in connection with the office—* they are all honorable men;” but when the appointment shall be made, the people of this city will pronounce judg- ment upon the act of their servants who were en- trusted with the delicate and responsible duty of mak- ing a proper selection for them in this behalf; and should it unfortunately happen that the city should be called upon to pay ten or fifteen thousand dollars annually to associate counsel for assisting the Dis- trict Attorney in discharging the duties of his office, (and this “must necessarily be the result, unless a competent person is placed in that office,) our tax- paying citizens will hardly pass a vote of thanks to the County Court, “for the able, wise and impar- tial manner with which it discharged its duties in the selection of a District Attorney.” Tue U.S. sour. Gramrus sare.—Letters received in Albany by the friends of Lieut. Gansevoort, state that the Grampus sailed from Norfolk on a distant cruise, instead of going to the Gulf of Mexico.as was reported when she sailed. It is supposed she went to the East Indies, as no tidings were expect- ed from her for sometime‘after her sailing. had ever heard of it. | onorable means un- | Trxas—Imronrant Crisis in une Aral last accounts from Texas leave her affairs in a very remarkable crisis. What may be the issue we cannot see Either Houston or Moore must go down. The mostaccnrate account of the causes of their diffi- culties will be found in the following article from a ‘Texas paper. {From the Galveston Times, May 16.} When the present Executive came into office the Navy in league with Yucatan against the common enemy, and receiving from that government the sustenance which our partial legislation withheld. President Houston deter- mined to deprive them of this resource. He denounced the alliance as treasonable and hoped to destroy the Nav: atthe very threshold of his administration. With this view a vessel was dispatched to reach the squadron in- stanter ; but they could not be found, and instead of the appearance in our waters of the reputed pirates, prizes war sent in thet bad been captured from the enemy and news of the gallant achievements of our little squadron reached ‘Texas by every packet. The wolf had been bearded in his den at Vera Cruz—a prize was taken under the very gunsof the fort—the gauntlet was thrown in the face of the enemy and he declined the combat. These | things were done in behalf of Texas by men whose bo | #oms glowed with patriotism, and whose blood quickened | intheit veins as they thought of the applause which | would greet their return to @ country whose President was then bitterly denouncing them as traitors and pirates of the Gulf. But disinterested deeds of daring in behalf of agood cause never go unrequited. The people of ‘Texas heard of the triumphs with acclamations, andthe President, finding that he could not stem the current (as was the case with regard to last spring’s prospect of a glorious campaign) determined to Toat with it and pilot the unsuspecting bark into a whirlpool, involving irreme- diable destruction. In conformity with this policy, Commodore Moore was received with Hattering marks of favor and approval by his Excellency. Proclamations of blockade were pub- lished and the operations of the navy were to be conduct" ed with increased energy. To effect this the squadron was ordered to New Orleans to fit out; estimates of the means required from the government were formally made out; the $20,000 exchequers appropriated by Con- ‘ress was solicited, but the requisition reduced to one alf of the amount by the special pleading of govern- m ent, ‘The $10,000 could not be immediately furnished because the engraved exchequers hud not been received, but that | amount would be forwarded by the next packet, as they | were daily expected. The contract between the gevern- | ment and Com. Moore (for it bore that form), was that the latter should forthwith proceed to man and provision the sloop Austin and schrs. San Antonio and San Bernard and with them carry out the provisions of the blockade—the government to furnish $10,000 exchequers in furtherance of that object. ‘The three vessels proceededto New Or- leans and Mobile—and in a very short time the schooners Were ready for sca, and every thing necessary ready to go on board the Austin at a moment's warning, $0 soon axthe exchequers should reach New Orleans, and comply with engagements entered into on the faith of solemn promises mage by the government of Texas to Commodore Moore. Packet after packet reached New Orleans—but the exche- quers were withheld and no explanations given, although | the engraved bills had reached Galveston directly after the departure of the vessels At length the brig Wharton join- | ed the Commodore orders to fit her out also and pro- ceed forthwith to sea, without adoller to accomplish the object or redeem previous promises. The Wharton hi but nine men on board, and was di ute of provision: This was discouraging and looked like design,but the Com- modore would not so construe it. Serious expense had al- ready been incurred from delays Ce aaa | with the governmnt. Butthe sanguine Commodore determined that he would still be aided and sustained by a country for which he had toiled so long and suffered so much, and that he would aid that country with his own credit and influ- ence in New Orleans, He therefore undertook to prepare four vessels instead of three for the cruise. This he had complished, when his brother returned from a mission for the promised exchequers. This was astunning blow, but he Aetermined to go himselfto Texas and appeal to Congress (then in session) for aid. He was detained for weeks, but was well received and applauded fur his patriotism—as an evidence of which $100,000 was appropriated for the useof the navy, in addition to the first appro} ion, which was delivered to him, after commit- ting the sin of repudiation. He then explained the extra- ordinary expenses and ditficultics he had incurred from delay, and notified the proper department that he would not then be responsible for carrying out their wishes in relation to the blockade. When he returned to New Or- Jeans exchequer bills were but as waste paper—a great part of the provisions were exhausted—many men had de- serted, and every thing had to be commenced anew. But he still entertained hopes from Yucatan, and from indivi- dual contributions among his personal friends. ‘The false promises of the Government had caused Com- modore Moore to make solemn promises predicated on his atriotiem, not to leave New Orleans until he could pay for provisions which kept his officers and men from starv- ing—and clothing, which concealed their nakedness. His otticers had also pledged themselves not to leave with him until the debts, which the deplorable situation to which they were reduced forced them to incur, should be provi- ed for. ‘When the government had piloted her victim to this brink—when another step forward involved disobedience, treachery, end ready made thunders—and an effort at re- treat involved disgrace, perjury, and total ruin without a struggle—we learn that the squadron was ordered to re- pair forthwith to Galveston, without a dollar being sent to redeem broken promiees or to pay seamen for working the vessels, The order (and it is true that it was issued) was not obeyed, and from that day Commodore Moore was branded as a traitor and a pi And how could it be obeyed ? as well might the vessels have been required to through the air and cast anchor in themoon. Not an officer would have put foot on the querter deck, not asea- man have worked the doomed vessels! The butchers would have thrown their meat to the dogs, and the bakers their bread to the fishes ! soonerthan supply the forsworn officer of a forsworn government, with food to strengthen them for renewed depredations on the credulous The order couid not be obeyed, but we believe that Com. ‘Moore even then felt rather’ disposed to t utter destitution of meaus which characterises gov- ernment, than the demoniac malice which also character- ises it. cause he abandoned a proud station in the United Navy, and although he might have disguised himself and come to Texas in person without his creditors’*knowledge that he had broken parol ; yet did he well know that his departure would be the instant signal for disbanding the navy in a foreign port, without a ¢hance for future resus- citation, and he still hoped to make it useful, and reward his faithful comrades with Jaurels won from his country’s enemy. His hopes proved prophetic Yucatan again of fered her purse and a renewal of the alliance which has onee preserved the navy from run. When news reached us of the proffered aid of Yucatan, commissioners were sent over to watch the course of events, and, aa it would seem, to make no interference un- tilsuccess should no longer be doubtful. It would seem 80, because we are told that they quietly witnessed the expenditure of the money of our allies, and actnally ap- peared to consult with the Commodore and forward his views. Tne Presipent’s Movements.—We have infor- mation on which we rely, that the President will leave Washington, and arrive in Baltimore on Wednesday, the 7th of June. He will leave Balti- more and arrive in Philadelphia on Friday, the 9th. Leave Philadelphia in the Amboy line on the 12th, and arrivein New York about two o’elock of the wame day. He will leave New York on Wednes- day, the l4th, for Boston. ‘Tue Lost Sup; on, THE ATLANTIC STEAMER.— Harper and Brothers have issued, as No. XVIII of the Library ‘of Select Novels, price twenty-five cents, ‘The Lost Ship; or, the Atlantic Steamer,” by the author of “Cavendish,” ‘‘The Flying Dutch- man,” &c. &c.

This was a pretty race and very well contested. ‘bird Heat—The sai the second, the Lloyd colt winning by two lengths—time 1m. 59 During the morning the betting was even, but the Lloyd colt seemed to be the favorite; after the first heat 2 to 1 was freely offered on him but no takers; when the second heat was over the Jersey men looked really blue, and Wall street to a Florida orange was offered, but it was no go, the friends of the Commodore lost all confilence in him. Albeit, he is a handsome horre and shows a good deal of blood, but he has neither length nor substance. The Lloyd colt is not eo showyfas the Commodore; he is howevera bulkier horse, and has more bone and muscle. We think these horses nave both speed and bottom, but in our humble judgment neither of them were up to the mark. Second Race.—Jocky Club, purse $250, 2 mile heats, best in tyres, weights 90 Ibs. J.

Sicnor Pacot.—The Concert of this finished player on the Oboe and English Horn, will afford a treat so rich, that we predict for him a crowded au- dience. The effect he produced at Nagel’s concert is still fresh in the memory of the public. In addi- tion to his own high talents, he will be assisted by Madam Sutton, with whom he will perform the duett from Norma, Deh con te, as sung by Madam Pasta, in Milan, with Signor Paggi, on the Oboe. Also, Mons. Nourrit, the brother of the celebrated Adolphe Nourrit, of the Grand Opera, Paris, first tenor of the French Opera Company, New Orleans, who will sing the celebrated duett from Lucia di Lammermoor, (sulla tomba) with Madam Sutton, added to which, Mr. Salomonski, Signor Rapett, Mr. Rakeman and Mr. Etienne, add their talents, forming a combination so perfect, that it cannot do otherwise than attract an overflowing house. MepicaL MovemEnts.—Several institutions have been sometime since established in this city, for the treatment of disease by skilful, and properly edu- cated physicians and surgeons. Of these the “Col- lege of Medicine and Pharmacy.” composed of an association of physicians; and the “ Medical and Surgical Institute,” under the management of Dr. Bostwick, have been particularly successful. The sale of the preparations of the College has been im- mense during the past year, and a great number of cases in city and country have been successfully treated. Dr. Bostwick’s establishment, it would appear rom his advertisement, in another column, is in very successful operation. op OF ALL F TRAORDINARY AND TE- resting curi Gen, Tom Thumb is the most wonder- ful.

Of- fers to loan “at call” are made freely at 4 per cent., and not taken, from the want of means of employing it at bet- ter rates, ‘The extraordinary excitement in stock has imparted a degree of vigor to business men, which they seem to have been long wanting. Many works and corporations that have been long hanging by the “eye-lids,” are pushing rapidly to settlement. Theold Vicksburg has obtained a decision in its favor from the Court of Errors, by which it succeeds to priority of judgment over the Grand Gulf, and it is supposed will have a surplus abeve the Railroad; the stock has risen to 6 per cent in consequence. The North American Trust and Bank has sold at 10 per cent, under the prospect of throwing off heavy liabilities al- ledged illegal. The Long Island Railroad, it is said, rises under the long fingers of Eastern capitalists, who are look- ing to monopolising the New York communication by way of Stonington, asthey have done with Albany. ‘The great excitement produced in the stock market by the abundance of money infused into it through the in- strumentality of the banks, has had the effect of awaken- ing the long dormant spirit of enterprise in the public mind. The immense rise in stocks has drawn into the market great numbers of persons of copital who have been in want of some excitement to encourage operations. ‘This has enhanced and given stability to the prices. The feeling isnow very perceptibly extending to other busi ness. Capitalists and business men being fairly aroused, every avenue of investment is ransacked; all sorts of ru- mors calculated to improve property, are not only cireus lated but believed ; because in reviveing markets, every one 18 prone to assist an advance, in the benefit of which he seeks to participate. Real estate sales evince the pre- sence of this feeling, and even stories of short crops are credited and are bringing speculators into the flour mai ket,giving prices a start. The supply coming forward is,in- deed limited ; but the abundance of money on the sea- board has led to the belief that all other articles, like stocks, will rise in due time ; those, therefore, that can hold, do so. A rise in prices of agricultural produce on the sea-board will scatter money over the western coun. try with great rapidity. That may be the signal for a fall in stocks and the commencement of bank difliculties. Ifthe institutions succeed in enlivening business gene- rally through the excitement produced in the stock mar- ket, and business paper to an extent sufficient to employ their funds is created without endangering too sudden a demand for coin, making a sacrifice of stocks necessary, the whole trade of the country will be fairly put afloat. ‘The transactions in sterling bills for this packet have been fair, and the market closes firm ata small advance on those of the Great Western.

She is now the first to resover, and under the able conduct of her present fear Jess and right thinking Governor, Ford, will lead the way to a restoration of that credit which her delinquency helped to dilapidate. When Illinois failed, under the old legislature she actually passed resolutions of repudiation, and although subsequently rescinded, they had a power- fuleffect upon American credit. After its adjournment intense and untiring efforts were made to return @ legis lature which should either boldly repudiate or blink the qaestion like some other States, by resolving to pay, yet doing nothing towards it. These eftorts, although backed by @ period of unmitigated distress, of bank suspension low prices and stagnant markets, failed. A new legisla. ture and Governor were elected whose first efforts were devoted to settling the debt. Governor Ford in his mcs- sage ably and skilfully sketched the plan, which waa vigorously followed up. The $3,100,000 subscribed to the frettes banks was withdrawn and cancelled—ncar $800,000 of bonds issued to Stebbins & M’Alister, were settled by a law passed on the application of those gentle. men. There remain about $9,000,000, of which $5,000,000 have a lien upon the Canal and its property. ‘This Cane] and its property are promptly putin their possession by the new law, on condition thet they complete it and pay them selves, principal and back interest, in full. The State debt will then be reduced to $4,000,000 improvement bonds. Its means will be enhanced by the completion of a work which may be considered one of the most important of the age, if reference is had to its locality and connec- tions The canal itself is 100 miles in length, but the Il. linois river is navigable from the canal to its mouth, and Completes the circle of water communication round the United States. The population of the counties through which this canal passes, wes, in 1840, 200,000, and isnow fully 250,000. The immigration into the State has alone been 150,000 or 50,000 per annum, accerding tothe most accurate returns, ‘The consideration in which it is held by the leading in- terests in this country may be estimated from the fact that Messrs. Oakley & Ryan arrived in this city to open their mission at atime when tho stock and money mar- ket was nearly stagnant. From some of the warmest friends of Mlinois, they met with but little encourage- ment. ‘The experienced skill of Col. Oakley, and the cool judgment of Mr.Ryan,soon,however,satisfactorily explain: ed the nature of the operation, and it was eagerly entered into. The American Exchange’Bank and other holders in thecity, immediately subscribed their quote, amount- ting to $400,000 bonds. Yesterday a letter was received fom the Comptroller, stating that about $225,000 are held by the free banks of this State, which have expressed a desire te subscribe, making $625,000, which are all the canal bonds held here. The public have appreciated the movement, and the stock has risen from 18 to 41. The capitalists of Boston, who look upon the canal of Illinois 8 an important adjunct to the Albany Railroad, have freely tendered their assistance, and the success of the loan is beyond a doubt. Tho buoyancy in Mlinois stock has been communicated to all others, and the rise has been enormous, because full confidence is entertained that the movement of Illinois will go farto restore American cre- dit, and induce foreign creditors to retain their stocks, and during the plenteousness of money there, perhaps to increase their investments in the best description of JUni- ted States securities.
