ew. YORK HERALD. Sceeateinennananaiertiiaiedimeiieteaeertenmarwtaretal New York, Thursday, September 14, 1843, = os ~ — ee eS lus Crry anv rts Govexymenv.—The numerous ow'rages that are daily and nightly committed in ‘our commun ty of 350,000 peeple—the almest per- fect immenity which crime enjoys, consequent upon the inefficiency of the city government, ere ir qnentcauseset complaint to the public, and o/ anxiety to the staid and sober; yet im those facts, in the cefencelese state of the citizens generally, and the perfect freedom with which gangs of rowdies amese themselves at the expense of the persons and property of others, we find the surest proof of the faodamental excellence of our institutions, and the eapebility of a people generally forself government Tris is really and truly a self-eoveraed city. There is to be sure a Mayor and Aldermen, a police oftice and magistrates, but they are not to preserve the yenee, and protect the orderly citizens in their per- sons and property, as hes been toolishly imagined They are political offices, created to reward parti- zans at the expense of injured parties. [f a person is robbed of a large portion of his property, and a plies to a police officer for essistance from the law, he is met with a vacant stare, and the question, what will you give forassistance? It he hes lost al and has nothing to give, the thief may at him over the officer's shoulder with perfect impunity, If he has something left, the thief may be able toout bid him, and he is further from his ject than ever. The result is nearly the same, if one has his house broken er into his head broken open, If his property is injured, or his person essailed, it oaly becomes a matter of pecuniary competition between the gentleman operator and himself, for justice or injustice. Notwithstanding all these things, this, our self-governed city, is fer more orderly andq tiet than any city of Europe, with its armed police and myriads of salaried conatables, We are astonished, where there is so much power to do harm, that so little harm is actually done, It erises mostly trom the general good condition of the people, and their degree of intelligence. Nearly oll tne people have the means of earning a liveli- hood, and the dieposition to do go. Hence the ele- mentof European riots, viz. multitudes of starving persons who cannot obtain work, does not cxist. Isolated eases of villainy on the part of compara- tively a few naturally vicious individuals, do oceur; butinall the distress of the past few years no popu- Jar commotions like those which, at least two or three times ina year, draw upon the people the fire of government troops, in all the cities of Eu- rope, have oceurred. We have no Chartist insur- manufacturing riots, as in England, re- quiring the constant presence, not ly of police, but of a regular army, to prevent sedition gathering abead, which will end in a subversion of govern- ment. The people here are not dissatisfied with the government, for that is themselves—and who ig dissatisfied with himself? The cases of individual rascality which occur here are for a supposed profit, and like all other pursuits, is abandoned when found to be unprofitable. This growing principle of self interest operates ina self governed commu- nity with the growth of its intelligenee and wealth, better in the prevention of crime than can the most elaborate laws, executed with the greatest vigor. Trevtions, t Matcu—St. Grorcs and Toronto- This contest came off yesterday on the t ground of the St. George club. It was played oughout in the most scientific manner.— ‘The New Yorkers opened the game with their best players, and terminated their first innings with a score of 66 ~~ Aiter which, the Toronto Club went to work very confident of winning, and after a beau- tiful display of batting, terminated their first innings with a score of 77~—leading the St. George Club ll. The game will be resumed this morning at 9 o’- clock, when it will be decided. Bets are in favor 1€ Toronto Club 2 to 1, as they have some of the cricketers in their company that can be pro- don this continent. The wholesale and un- ted challenge from the New Yorkers to the eleven beet players in the States or Canadas, hes brought together, among their opponents, the most skilful and scientific batters this side of the At lante. The cool and bracing air, the beautiful grounds, the presence of many ladies, the excitement and novelty of the game, are great inducements to visit the place of performance, and we advise all who would spend a few hours pleasantly, to go and wit- ness the decision of this game. All the parties en- gaged are gentlemen who devote their attention to this invigorating and healthy game fer amusement and exercise. The match now in the course of set- tlement was made up nearly two years since, and 16 a triendly contest for sectional superiority. The St George Club sometime since visited Toronto, and beat their antagonists on their own ground with the greatest ease, and the Toronto club will, judging from the present state of the game, pay them off in their own coin. The most perfect good feeling pre- vails between the combatants, and the victory will doubtless be celebrated by a magnificent supper.— We I give atull and detailed report of the reeult. ‘Tue Sreaxcrenip or tHe NEW Horse or Reprr- sentatives —The Hon. D.xon H. Lewis, of Alaba- ma, is spoken of as the next Speaker of the House of Representatives, and he is weli qualified for that distinguiched position, and may possibly be elected by the eid of southern whig members, who, being unable to have a Speaker of their own, may prefer Mr. Lewis, on account of his southern principles, a northern man. Mr. Lewis is a man of great abi anda devoted friend to Mr. Calhoun. He will, however, doubtless find « formidable oppo- Young Saunders, late Clerk of Austen, Wil- merding & Co., charged with the commission of reeent forgeries on the several Banks of Wall Street, was brought before Justice Matsell of the Lower Police, yesterday morning, for examina. tion. As he has obtained so great a notoriety, everything in connection with him, and with hie brief career of crime, willbe read with avidity, and therefore we give his examination at length Though but seventeen years of age, he has the talent of @ man much older, and if his prospects had not been destroyed by the act whieh has brought him to} a prison, he might have pursued an honorable and successful career through life. He has a fascinating manner and appearance, is exceed- ingly vivacious and gemlemanly in his demeanor, butit isevident that he glories im the sensation he has created, and has no sence of shame for the stain of guilt which rests upon him, nor any regrets for the fuvure consequences of his crime. When arrested by officer Clapp at Boston, he attempted to evade the admission of his identity; but when he found denial no longer available, he boldly, and rather boasting- ly, said, “Yes, Iam Saunders, rHe GREAT For@ER.” He tells the story of his arrest and his previous pro- ceedings in New York, Albany, and Boston, with great joyousness. On his way to this city, in the custody of officer Keilinzer, he wus asked why he did not get more money from the Manhattan Bank, and he laughingly replied “‘ Why, Bob White stuck them pretty well, so I thought { would Jet them up.” Simple as this incident may be, it aflords sufficient evidence of the looseness of morals on such subjects which his intercourse with Wall street has pro- duced. It he had succeeded in getting away in the Great Western, his plans were to remain in London, unti! rejeined by Ragee, who was to exchange tie notes since found in the box, and follow himin the pack- etof the 9th of October. He was confident that he could remain in London without deteciion, notwith- standing he was aware of the vigilance of the police. He intended to take private lodgings in Piccadilly, or some other mor rtired quarter, and with the aid ofa dark wig, with which he was prepared, (and it is now in the possession of efficer Clapp,) and seme composition to dye his eye-brows and oth- erwise change his complexion, which he had pur- chased, he couldidety identification ; if, however, England “should become too hot for him,” his in- tention was to proceed to Amsterdam, where a “‘she- male” friend of Ragee, as he jestingly designated her, resided, to whom he had a letter of introduc- tion. He however preferred London, with which he has some acquaintance, especially, as in Amster- dam he should ave found some difficulty on ae- count of the language of that place, which he is not able to epeak. It is evident this youth has much romance in his composition. He has been for some time consider- ably stage-struck, and Mrs. Ragee made his stage dresses ; he speaks more especially of his Claude Meinotte dress, which was entirely of her manufac. ture. But this romantic disposition will appear more particularly by the recital of a half formed determi- nation of his, while in Boston. As the newspapers which announced the commission of the forgeries, pent in Mr. J. W. Jones of Virginia, who hi 1. the candidate of his party, though a de- e. Mr. Jones stands very high with those ow him, both for his pergoval, moral, and tual qualifications, and he wou'd do honor choice of the House. Mr. Jones is a Van jurenite, and will have the support of that portion of the House in all probability. The appointment of this officer is a matter of the first importance, as the prospect points toa choice of President jof the United States by the House of Represen atives, ready bée to the frye We wonld call the attention of our readers to two advertisements of the popular hetel and resteaurant, All Nations Hotel, No. 111 Broadway.

Nicollet, the eminent mathemati- n and astronomer, died at Washington on Mon- y, after a lingering illness. Mr. Nicollet wasa at@e of Sevoy, anda citizen of France, but had passed the last ten years of his life in this country, engaged in important reeearches, chiefly under the auspices and in the employment of the Government of the United States. Aquatic Amusvements.— An advertisement which has appeared in the Herald, gives intimation of a very singular amusement which is to come off at Hoboken. The British Indians are to row their ca- noes in their mative dresses and in their own pecu- liortashion, for 4 prize. They will attract many beholders. Vermont Exection.—Lhere is some doubt of the euceess of Mattocks, the whig candidate for the Governorship, but if notelected by the people, he will be elected by the Legislature, as that body in both branches will have a lurge whig majority. Qe Shekepeare’s play of Hamlet has just been traaslaied into the Polish Inngnage, for the first complete and correct shape. The Polish ry journal, entitled Tygodnig Literacki, speaks very favorably of it p Mr. Charles E. Horn, has been appointed Di- reetor of Music at Covent Garden Theatre, by Mr. H. Wallack. also stated that he had effected his escape in the Great Western, he thought he could return to New York with the aid of his disguise, take lodgings at the Globe Hetel, promenade Broad- j way, Wall street, the front of his employer's residence, and other places, and listen to the marvellous stories that might be told of him inthe streets, and of the forgeries which he had committed. He, however, did not put this design into execution, but took passage for New Orleans. He now beguiles his solitary hours by reading “Webster's speeches,” which must be admitted tobe instructive matter for a person in his circumstances —especially those on banks and the currency. He deems Ragge’s denial of his guilt and his at- tempt to implicate his wife alone, by represen ing that she and Saunders were too intimate, as mean in the extreme, aad he positively denies that any improper intimacy ever took place between him and Mrs. Ragee. While admitting Ragee’s “smartness” in some things, he speaks of him centemptuously as an agent for the effectual accomplishment of such a business as the ebtaining of money by forged checks. The orginal design was that Ragee should present the checks in a diegnise, but his nerves failed him, and Saunders had to do that part of the business himself ; and the advantages, he says, were in his favor, for he was known at the banks, though some old stupid cashiers—one of whom wears a wig—questioned him to ascertain whether he was with the firm whose checks were presented. He 1s very communicative and appears wholly de- void of care; he has no apparent thought or anxiety about the result of his trial, and if he really does not consider that he has been rendering some merito- rious servicesto the community, he most assure@ly does not feelany taint of guilt or be sensible of his disgrace and ruin. The examination was taken in the Magistrates’ private room, by Mr. Justice Matsell, by whom he was advised of his right to decline answering any question which he thought proper not to answer, but he went through his examination without evasion and with great firmness. His examination was as follows:— Q —Your age, occupation and residence ? A —I shall be seventeen years in December next; resided last at 68 Duane street, and have been in the employ of Austen, Wilmerding & Co. as a clerk Q —Look at the check now shown you and say whether you presented it for payment at the Bank ot Commerce in New Yerk on or about the 3lst day of August last past ? A.—Yes sir—I did, and received the money for it from the teller. : ane fi Q.—Had you at the time of presenting it for pay- ment any knowledge of its being aforged check? A.—I had, sir. ; Q —Did you know by whom it was forged? A.—Yes, sir Q.—Can you name the person? A —Henry Ragee isthe person who forged it. Q.—How do you know the fact of his having been the forger? 2 i A—Some time last winter 1 became acquainted with him at 43j Maiden lane,wherefwe both boarded. During the winter we became intimate, and the subject of forging the checks of my employers was ® matter of frequent conversation between us finally procured some old checks of the Union Bank, which had been paid and returned, and from these checks he obtained a knowledge of the signa- ture of Mr Wilmerding and Mr. Priest, and I have seen him practice in copying them, We cencocted a plan for forging a number of checks and to a Jarge amount. In consequence, hewever, of Ragee’s not being able to forge the signatures as perfectly as I desired, we partly gave it up, until a week before the sailing of the Great Western on her last voy- age. Ragge at that time was living at 82 Canal street,and byappointment I met him, when he in- formed me that he was in difficulty with his land- lord, who troubled him much; and as ‘he Western was to sail soon, there was an excellent op- portunity to} carry out our designs. I then pro- vided him with some blank checks, some ot which I took trom the drawer, and others from the check books. The numbers were not inserted in the checks until the very morning that they were presented at the banks— L observed the number ofthe last checks drawn in the books. It was agreed upon between us that the checks should be dated on the 3ist of August, as the steamer was to sailon that day. I was not aware of the balance in all the banks, but concluded to run the risk of dating them on thatday. { think the blank checks were given to Ragee amon two days before they were presented. Idid not see the forged checks until about 9 o’clock on the morning of the Bist, when Ragee showed them to me at one of the windows of the Exchange. At that time I gave him the numbers, and at about 11 o’clock I met him again, when he handed them all to me—ten of them mall, viz: J on Bank of Commerce for $2,500 1 on Union Bank, 8000 1 on American Exchange Bar 3000 1 on Phenix Kank, 5000 1 on Bank of America 2,560 1 on Bank of State of New York, “600 1 on City Benk, 5.000 1 on Merchants’ Bank, 3.000 1 on Manhatten Benk, 1,000 1 on Seventh Ward Bank, — 8/000 1 then commenced drawing the money for the checks, and in all cases received one thousand and five hundred dollar bills, with the exception of that of the 7a Ward, where J asked and received one hun- ‘ard and remained on | ppuinger 1 came out I gave him half of amount of cheek, about an equ ‘of each denomi- gation of bills. From thence I wentto the office of Mr. Irwin and took e in the Great Westera, and paid $105, and received a certificate in the name of Taylor, which I tore up in Boatnn. Ragee then went te the pawnbrokers, No. 200 Bowery 0 redeem a gold ting of my mother’s, for which I hed the ticket. He did so, and gave it to .ae after- wards. I then proceeded to make some small purchases, and about half past 12 o’elock met Ragee again in Hanover street, when I finished drawing the checks. After I got through, we went into the highest story of the Exchange and there divided maya d the money asnear as possible. In addition to hishalt, I gaye ee two thousand dollars to give my father after I ehould have gone. 1 then went to Prime, Ward & King’s, and Brown, Bro- ther’s & Company, to get bills on England, or Bank of England notes. I did not suc ceed, but got some gold and bank of Eng- land notes from some of the brokers in Wall street, Finding that I could not get all the yao changed as I waated, at the solicitation of Ragee gave him the balance of bank notes which I had not changed—I think when I got to Boston I had 500 pounds, within ten or fifteen pounds, which was all taken from me by Mr. Clapp, less what 1 had spent. How much I spent I cannot tell. Ragee told me I had no time to lose, and said he would send or bring me the money. I then started in a cab to get my trunk, &c. As the cab was turning round, he (Ragee) handed me two letters of intro- duction to a cousin of his in Amsterdam, both of which letters I tore up, I then went home, got my trunk, &c. and drove down to the Western, and found that she had just gone. [ then hired a boat, and undertook to overtake her by rowing, making signals, &c., but finally gave it up, and Janded at Failton street. From thence I went to No. 405 Pearl street, where my father had a room—there | saw my father, and told him I was going to Phila- delphia, and asked him to take care of my trunk, and handed him a few pieces of gold Gone, I think about six. From there [ went to Canal st., opposite Ragee’s house, and waited for him until near 5 o’clock, when [ saw hint crossing the street —he acdvised me to go to Boston, and get on board the Hibernia, We started to go to the Providence boat. He Jeft me somewhere in West street.— When I got to the landing place of the Providence boat, I found she had started, and was proceeding back in a conch, when I again met Ragee in West street, not far from the Battery. We walked a short distance together, until we saw one of the signs of the Albany boat, which mentioned some- thing about Boston. He left me to make some in- quiry. I watched him, and saw him talking to a man. Iwas on the corner of West and some other street, when he returned in company with two co- lored men. He told me I could go to Albany at 7 o’clock that afternoon, and get to Boston the next morning by 10 o’clock, and get off in the Hibernia, and that the black men would carry my trunk. Ragee sent one of the black men for a cab for me; I then drove to my father’s room, where I found my father, sister, and a lady from Brooklyn, (virs. Allen.) Ithen told my father that I was ge- ing to Boston; my father helped me to take my trunk down; [gotin the cab, and was driven by my directions to the Albany boat; I arrived in Bos ton on the evening of the next day. I remained there until the Wednesday following, when I was arrested by Mr Clapp on board the Loo Choo, in which vessel I hau !c ken passage for New Orleans. Mrs. Ragee, the wie ot Henry, has been present several times when her husband was practising the signatures of Wilmerding and Priest, and has heard us converse in relation to the contemplated forge- ries; but at the time we made up our minds fully to do it, he begged me not to let hia wife know any thing about it. This examination having been reduced to writing, it was signed by him, and he was reconducted to his cell, which is that in which Ezra White was so long confined. The father of young Saunders was also examined, and confirmed the statements of his sen so far ashe was concerned. He was afterwards discharged from custody. He says that the only money he received, was that given him by his son as stated in the preceding confession. Ragee gave him none of the two thousand dollars that the son had left for him. Wurtworg, Tar Forarr —This “very respect- able” forger, it appears, has resorted to the pitiful attempt to cheat an agent, for whom he advertised. This detracts much from the “respectability” of his character. Villainy, on a grand scale, makes a hero, and gives an enduring pre-eminence; but to become a mean, paltry cheat, is despicable. It is common, nevertheless, in this community. How many advertisements are met with in the daily pa- pers for clerks, or agents, who will be required to advance, or who may have the privilege of advanc- ing some specified sum to the advertiser's firm. These are mainly from “Whitmore” cheats, and should be avoided. But the following is the letter which elicited these observations:— Wurrmorr’s Forcrsies.—The writer of this knows something of Whitmore’s character from experience. About the first of last July, an adver- tisement eppeared in the “Sun” newspaper, stating @ manufacturing company in a neighboring city, engaged in making an article of extensive cash de- mand, were anxious to engage an agent in New York, to take charge of their office, and attend to their business in this city, te whom a salary of one thousand dollars would be given, and from which agentan advance of two thousand dollars would be expected, on articles delivered or consigned to him forsale, and which would afford ample security ‘This notice was answered by the writer, when Mr. Whitmore introduced himself, and told the writer about the same story he had, it seems, previously toldto Mr. Burr. He said his existing contract with the Navy Department amounted to from twenty to twenty-five thousand dollars, and that -he wanted an agent to advance two thousand dollars, and attend to the delivery and inspection of the “ friction primers,” and receive the money for them, from which his loan could be refunded, and seven per cent in- terest would be allowed on all advances, besides the salary, and use of office at 142 Front street. Before giving any serious attention to Mr. Whit- more’s plausible statements,the writer, without his knowledge, took the precaution to visit the Navy yard, and called wpon Captain Sands, who was then in command ot the yard, to ascertain the real nature and extent of Whitmore’s contract ; when we were assured by him that the whole coniract was only for about $3000 worth of these percussion matches. And, moreover, that the contract re- quired, on inspection, that no more than three in a thousand should miss fire—when, on experiment, there could scarcely be found as many in a thousand that would go off; tiat he considered the whole affair a dead failure, and that, even if they succeed- ed inexploding, the present cheap and simple can- non lock, attended with no danger, had entirely superceded such a contrivance. Moreover, the writer, if wanting to know more of this Whitmore, was referred to a certain man that uaderstood his character; but, considering this exposure perfectly sntistacfory, the writer gave Mr. Whitmore, soon after, a plump refusal to have any business transactions with him whatever. And thus ended his attempt to dupe and swindle a maa less credulous than he probably supposed him to be. The writer has in his possession a curious letter Lal this man, which he may hereafter give to the public. He was asmall, smooth-feced, plausible talking fellow, eutertaining @ high notion of his own inge- nuity; aod so harmless in his general deportment and appearance, thathe might have been easily mistaken for a ruling elder in some Hew Haven church.

Gale, of 116 Broad and offered to sell a certificate of Indiana stock, which he said he had received from Bultimere in a letter. Mr. Gale sus- pecting that all was not right, told him that a store had been robbed the night previous, from which a number of similar certificates had been stolen. The boy then said that he had found the certificate in the street and watch- ing his opportunity jumped inte the yard, and thence into the street, and was finally canght in Cedar street by Tho- mas Kinney. He was taken to the police office, where he nized as Isaac Isaacs, aged 18 years, from Phila- od a sharp, shrewd rogueand burglar.

Since then officers Drinker and Frank Smith, have recovered the remainder of the lost certifi- cates of stock. Tue Rocuwet, Bunersny.—A few days since, a man known as Charley J. Williams, wasarrested’en suspicion of having been @ re in the burglary of Rockwell's jewellery store, under Astor House. The suspicious circumstances were that a boy who was engaged in the store adjoining the one formerly occupied by Simpson, which is new untenanted, recognised him as the person who applied for the key of the store to examine it on sup- position that he intended tovisit it. From the additional fact that a handkerchief that had been found in the stere of Mosera Rockwell after the burglary, having been identi- tied by the washerwoman as belonging to Williams, it was considered evidence sufficieat to detain him for the pre sent in default of bail in the sum of $3000. Application was made yesterday under a writ of habeas corpus belore the Recorder to release him or reduce the bail. The Recor- der very properly and premptly refused to interfere in the actionofthe police, and remanded the prisoner wutil tl 20th inst , in order to give the officers as well as the accus- ed an opportunity to inoke out their case.

Firstwitness called was Dr. Hanvey Bunpe.t—Iam acquainted with the parties; my brother, the defendant, left tie office in Chambers street,before thejlst September, and did business in my office in Broadway. He was absent from this city on the Ist of August, an also absent in May or June last at Ohio ; he went there because of the deranged state of his domestic sttairs; he had property the schedule shown was the property of defendant; he lived unhappily with his wife and children, partly in consequence oi the course of the plaintiff in the family. 1 noticed that when- ever Mrs. Burdell wished to coneult on family matters, that sh» preferred the advice ef the plaintiff to that of the detendant; when ber husband was ill, she placed him un- der the ‘especial charge of the plaintif, who pre- vented me fiom calling to see my brother even in my professional capacity; I was opposed to the course pursued h my brother, and did not think the Hom@opasthic treatment calculated to re store him to health © plaintiff said that my brother had not employed me professionally—plainti# acknow- ledged that one of the medicines used was arsenic. I noticed in my visits to my brothe: t whenever Mrs. Burdell was sitting "beside the bedside of her husband— to whom she wae coid and indifferent—and that plaintiff came in, she would leave her post, and take a seat beside him, apparently very happy with him.

Raiazoap Accipent.—We t to be compelled to Tecord the occurrence of a vei disastrous accident yesterday on the bag ieee Railroad. When the first train from Baltimore, which left at7 A. M., with a arge party of Defen- ers, Military and Citizens, an their way to the celebration at York, had reached a point about eight miles from York, the front axle-tree of the first paspengsr ear broke, throwing that car and the two following it off the track and splintering all three ¢ the first one being almost entirely demo- lished. The cars being crowded with people, a scene of confusion eaae ensued, which may be Pepe nncas . § init number of persons who were i ently standing on the platform in front of the cars were thrown off, some of them being caught be- tween the cars, and others forced under them.— Many, we are happy to say, escaped uohurt, but the following persons were found to have been more or less injured :— : Michael Grubb, member of the Junior Artillerists aleg broken. 2 Samuel Child, coachmaker, lus leftthigh broken, and so badly bruised that he is not expected to survive. David Pugh, agent for the Gas Company, both thighs broken. | : Peter McKaid, employed on the railroad, had both legs broken. if Thomas Wilson, a young lad, had his left knee fractured, and was otherwise much bruised. Ephraim Collet, a man who resides about 25 miles from Baltimore, hurt, but not seriously, Jo#n Guver, Junior Artillerist, much bruised David Leievre, Junior Artillerist, severely bruised. & i Hy William Allen, Sergeant of Junior Artillerists, much bruised. : John Cooper, a resident of Fell’s Point, and a member of the Association of Defenders, very se- verely bruised and larcerated. He was taken from under the car where he remained for nearly thirty pistes, although every effort was made to release um. Christian Meyer, gers, slightly injured. All the persons injured were on the platform. As soon as the wounded persons could be got out, medi- cal assistance was Soe rendered to them re Doctors Dunbar, Miller, Martin, Maguire, Hall, and Ringgold, and, as soon _as he could reach the spot, by Dr. McClellan ot York. The wounded pereous were soon after conveyed to York, and thence taken to the Hospital where they were well provided for. At five o’clock their wounds were dressed, and they allseemed to be as comfortable as their condition would admit of. ‘The Susquehanna Railroad (Company have libe- rally tendered a free passage to York this morning to the families and friends of the injured persons.— —Balt.

A poste o Ohio State borrowers was introduced to the Board this morning to produce a favorable impression prior tothe “operations” for the January interest. Tho 7 per cent Joan is still in a state of parturition. At the New Board there was a good business done. We have repeatedly called the attention of our readers to the affairs of the New York and Erie Railroad. An important election for Directors of this Company ig now approaching, end the action of the stookho)ders at this crisis will determme whether this work is to be com- pleted. A year since we told the public that if the Board ‘was not thoroughly purged the road would not be eom- menced. Our predictions are verified. The property ef the Company has been anffered to d:@ay—the road dila- pidated—the crediters disheartened, and incalculable damage done, and yet we learm thet some of the persons whose places are in danger,are making themselves exceed- Juzly jactive in obtaining proxies to prepiup the man- ®gers of the Eastern Division, and to reelect the very men to whose manegement all the difficulty may be justly attributed We caution the stockholders against these persons, and advise them either to appear in person at the election on the 5th of October, or to give their proxies to those in whom they can confide. Efforts are being made in the country, and the agents and engineers on the line of the road, will make one more attempt to gull the innocent and unsuspecting, as to the objects for which their votes will be used. There is a degree of speculation now going on in cot- ton which will undoubtedly lead to disaster both hereand atthe south. The prospects ef the cotton market are un: doubtedly good, and with a regular business, prices will rise gradually. There is nothing, however, in the busi ness which warrants the daily growing speculative excitement. One half the rumors in relation to the shortness of the crop are false, end are set float for speculative purposes. The season is backword, and far less cotton will be raised than last year; but the deficit will not be greater than the surplus stoek now on hand in Liverpool. With the supply on hand to come ferward, an increase of consumption, predicated upon low prices, and the abundance of money, will cause a gradual and healthy rise. Thecrops forthe last six years have been as follows :-- 1997-0, 1001497 1940-1, 1,034,045 1838-9, 1,260,532 1841-2, t 1899-40, 177,835 1942-3, 3 Average, 1,779,954 1,807,526 Stock on hand in Lie verpoul, 421,090 1,000,000 The stock on hand in Liverpool, to the close of the present ycar, hes increased 670,000 bales, under aver: production of say 1,900,000 bales. Now if the growi crop should yielt not more than 1,600,0¢0 bales, the sup= ply for the year, embracing the Liverpool jstocksonly, will be 2,¢00,000 bales, which allow of an increase of 200,000 bales in consumption and still leave the usual stock of 600,000 bales on hand in Liverpool at the close of the year. 200,000 bales is equal to an increased weokly consumption of 4000 bales over the averag@of the last three years. There is every reason to believe that with the abundance of money, and favorable har- vest, that this increase will take place, but it is by no means certain that the crop will be less than 1,900,000 or 600,000 less;than Isat year—the physical force employed, and extent of land cultivated, forbid a greator falling off. The whole position of tho trade is such as to warrant the hope of a gradual improvement in prices, undor the effective demand for consumption—but the market will be destroyed by sproulation. Alrendy large orders have been sent {rom this side to buy the Liverpool stock on speculation. ‘Yhis will inevitably reeult in dis. aster. It is the result of injndicious speculation, stimu- lated by the abundance of money here and in Liverpool, Money has accumulated in large masses, ond mischie: vious legislation has prevented it from finding employ- ment in regular trade. It, therefore, rocks desperate *peculations, Stocks have bern influenced by it, ond now the Cotton Market is beginning to be agitated. ‘This will impart} unsteadiness {o all branches of busi- ness,
