Then Mr. Webster took up his position openly and publicly at once. On the first bursting of this great gun last week, it is well known that « yremendous panic took place in the stock and money market, thereby knocking down like nine pins many ot the parti- cular friends of Mr. Webster, who are speculators on the Buurse of New York and other great cities. This lamentable result was not anticipated, but when many of the poor brokers were knocked down, they began to consider that they had been a little too hasty in the explosion, and that it was necessary to make the Texas question one merely of domestic policy, affecting, not our foreign re- lations, but merely the political parties throughout the country. With this view, we believe, Mr. Webster and his friends have succeeded in quieting the fears of the monied classes with the umplest assurances that in no contingency is there a chance for the Texas reaty passing the Senate, and thereby involving es the foreign relations of the country, but that the] THe Sur Paster Currency.—The shin plaster whole controversy will be confined to the two par- | currency of the Plainfield Bank, which has been in ties inthe Senate and the House, and be an internal | circulation in New York and New England for question, merely affecting the rise and fall of parties | Some time past, is very gradually coming in and very or of stocks.

In the meantime, it is gratifying to find that the movement for municipal reform, commenced by the “ natives,” has driven the whigs and locotocos into the same policy. Both cry out now for clean streets—a good police—reduction of taxes. But we very much fear, that we are not an inch nearer the attainment of these most desirable reforms than we were. Indeed, we are inclined to think that this very universal shout of promises of reform, is rather calculated to obscure our hopes. But we shall see. P.

It seems to be a matter of regret with the pub- ernment, about which sv much has been said. This regret, however, does not extend throughout the shipping interest, for in that interest there are elements enough to make it entirely independent of the action of any government in a matter like this. It appears by the Journal du Havre of the 9th ult., that the disposition of the eighteen mammoth ocean steamers is not yet settled upon; that Ad- miral Mackau, the French Minister of Marine, is against the organization of the line; that he is in favor of turning the steamers into transports for troops; that the government has no money to carry on any enterprise uncertain in its results; and that he will do all he can to break up the whole affair But it does not yet appear that the project has been wholly abandoned, for Admiral Mackau was not very clear in his speech on the subject, and the power to demolish the line rests with the represen- tatives of the nation. It isto be hoped for their sakes, that they will let the law of 1840 go into operation. There is a strong probability, however, that the steamships will be turned into transports, and the commercial interests ofgFrance sacrificed to other projects of less importance to the nation. The abun- donment of such an enterprise at this time, gives to the world an opinion of France, that cannot be very flattering to that chivalric nation. After three years of bombast, in the shape of flaming paragraphs of the great national movement for the commerce of France; after sending a steam ship, the Gomer, with eight commissioners, to nearly every port on the Atlantic, to make arrangements; and making a tremendous display over the whole world; we are all at once astounded with the announcement, that the ‘Trans-Atlantique Steam ships” are aban- doned, and the French Government, “the great rival of England on the ocean,” sneakingly backs out from the enterprise, loses caste in the family of nations, and turns the “dix-huit grands bati- mans” into eighteen cattle transports for the Grand Armée of Algiers and Timbuctoo. But is this not a freak purely French, and to be expected? When the French are in doubt, they never take a trick ; and we, therefore, take it for granted that the “Great Steam Ship Line” is lost to the commercial world. Jt is unfortunate, in this view, that Louis Philippe should be surrounded by a Cabinet so whimsical as that of Guizot and his associates. It is unfortu- nate, because they have been the means of throw- ing the control of the ocean, so far as any Euro- pean power can have the control, into the hands of England, the great rival of France. What would Napoleon say, were he to rise up from his tomb, at this moment? How could France reply to him? This stupendous commercial enterprise, hailed with so much enthusiasm throughout France; this great movement in the progress of that nation, which was to de more than any other enterprise for the advancement of her people, 1s given up and thrown into the cattle business, in order to make room for fortifications to keep the sans culottes in awe—abolished, to build a few railroads—aban- doned to pay the expense of a most farcical expe- dition to the Chinese, who will neither drink coffee, French wines, nor wear French silks. It don't matter much, however, what course France pursues in this matter. There are the An- glo-Saxon steamship lines that will not be given up ; and there are elements enough in this country to more than supply the place just made vacant by La Belle France. And we hope that our govern- ment will now take hold of this subject in earnest. It is the easiest thing in the world for us to throw at least one half of the $8,000,000 annually spent on our navy into a vast Atlantic steamship project. We can build a dozen steamers like the Prince- ton, for she has proved to be a superior ves- sel, These can run in connection with the commercial marine; be manned by our naval officers, and be always kept on a war footing. Our present naval organization is most absurd. {t is a school for idleness; therefore, two or three lines of mail steamships like che one of which we speak, will give to America a race of active, enter- prising officers and seamen, who would constantly be in readiness for war service. They would be- come proficient in steam machinery and engineer- ing ; all would, by a system of exchanges, have a complete knowledge of their business ; and no of- ficers on the face of the globe would surpass them in time of need. be imprisoned 30d prisoned until the fine is paid.

Last evening, we of this goodly city had our full share of philosophic instruction. At the Society Library, one Dr. Lambert, a youthful Plato from down eas*, revealed to some score or two of elderly ladies, and ingenuous young men, the “philosophy ot living,” by a profound lecture on himself and half a dozen wax models of the human frame. He told them in his own words : ** How, for instance, the stomach digests food— what the lungs are for—how the heart circulates the blood—also, to show you what is the cause of their disease, the effect of certain trades, oecupa- tions, pursuits and manners of living, what causes consumption, dyspepsia, liver complaints, rheuma- tism, colds, coughs and fevers, convulsions, or fits, and what is most important of all, the Tational means for the preservation of health, and the physi- cal training of children, ‘An ounce or prevention is worth a pound of cure.’ It is easy to prevent dis- ease, but very difficult to cure it. Do you say, ‘we die when our tmie comes?’ Could ‘not the suicide have lived another day if he had chosen ? Will not a watch wear longer if used than if abused? Our lectures teach likewise the elements of female beauty! That is, what prevents deformity, preserves the teeth, gives a good form, graceful igure, beautiful complexion, as well as the benefi- cial effects of calisthenics and vocal gymnastics in expanding the chest, strengthening the voice, dc.; comprehending as you see, a complete knowledge of the science of ‘human life, and philosophy of living to a good old age in the full enjoyment of all our faculties, both mental and physical.

Prices show some improvement. The sales were to a moderate extent, Kentucky 6’s advanced } ; Indiana } ; IMlinois 4; North American Trust 1; Long Island declined j ; Mo- hawk }; Norwich 1; Harlem 2; Ohio 6's}. The panic appears to have subsided for the present, but there is a number of different op'nions on the probable complexion of future events. The first explosion has heen very se- vere, and we understand that several brokers have been swept down in the fall of stocks—some of them of some strength in the street. There isstilla warm controversy going on, relative to the probability of a treaty of annex- ation. effects on the market—and the discussions and excitements, thatfmay be readily produced. Thefbalance of opinion is that the very uncertainty of eur foreign re- lations, and the discussions on the Oregon, Texas and Tariff questions, will tend gradually to unsettle trade—* cause the banks to curtail—and produce a further decline im the stock market. It is much feared that the like scenes and events will ensue from the topics of the pre- sent day, that were caused by the discussions on the Northeastern Boundary. There is a manifest feverish- ness afloat. Within the past two weeks several Legislatures have adjourned, leaving a great deal undone they should have tone, and doing a great deal they should have left undone. The Legislatures of Massachusetts, New Jersey {Mary land, Mississippi, and by thiy time Ohio and Michigan have dissolved andthe members gone home. In Ma: chusetts laws have been passed injurious to the interest of all stockholders in banks, restricting their power over the institutions they own. The tax on banks has heen reduced seventy-five thousand dollars, and that amount levied on property of other descriptions. The banking capital of the State reduced $1,070,000; several railroad charters have been granted, and the differences between some of the companies already in existence set- ‘led. The Legislature of New Jersey have not accom- plished much. ‘The whole session was consumed in at- tending to petitions for divorce, and se aration of coun- ties. A law toraise $40,000 by taxation, and a resolution authorising the Governor to appoint Commissioners to in- vestigate the Plainfield Bank, were passed. The last reso- tution is of more importance than all the others put to- gether. It will put acheck upon the abuses practised by that institution, and serve to teach future legislatures a little experience in such matters. The Legislature of Maryland adjourned before perfecting many ef the bills before it. Petitions have already been presented to the Governor, calling for an extra session, to finish several important acts that were laid over. The tax bill was the only oneof consequence carried throngh successfully — The defeat of the bill to sell the bank stocks held by the State, and that authorising the completion of the Chesa- peake and Ohio Canal, have given great dissatistaction to those particularly interested. To create a strong preju- dice against the last Legislature, and to get up an excite- ment sufficient,to induce theGovernor to call an extra ses- sion, the State stocks weretrun down to 64 per cent. They have improved very much since the disappointment has worn off a little, and quotations now rule at 71}.a72. The Legislature of Mississippi held a very short session. The principal acts of the term were an investigation inte the aftairs of the Planters’ Bank ; areport of its complete in- solvency, and the passage of a tax law to meet the cur rent expenses of the commonwealth, and provide, as far as possible, for the payments of the bonds of the Plante Bank. The Legislature of Ohio have passed very few laws affecting commercial affairs. The Senate refused to pass a great number of bank bills sent up from the Lower House for concurrence, for which they deserve a vast deal of credit. Had either of the two bank bills sent up from the Honse been passed the currency of that State would have been as worthless as it ever was, and the spirit of speculation would have had full sway, ‘The last ac. counts from Michigan stated that the bill to advence ins ternal improvements had become a law. The public works of Michigan have increased in productivenees fas- ter than those of any other State inthe Union. If retained by the State and protected, they will, in a few years, be a great source of revenue, and of great importance as channels of communication with the West. ‘The Boston money market presents no new feature.— Stocks are all firm, and prices show some little improve- ment.

The Lowell companies are enlarging their mills and making extensive arrangements to produce theisjmanufactures on a very extensive scale. The an- nexation of Texas to this country would open another market for our northern manufactures to supply, besides bringing within our limits another large cotton growing district, It is the policy of this government to secure within the limits of its jurisdiction, the whole of the coun- try producing this valuable raw material ‘The manufacturers of Great Britain depend upon their supplies of this article from this country. They have made efforts, attended with an enormous ex- pense, to cultivate the plant within their own posses: sions, They have consequently a great inducement to promote its growth in countries independent of this. In the course of a few years Texas will become a great cot: ton growing section, and the importation of supplies from that country into Great Britain, would enable the Eng- lish manufacturers to compete with ours more successful- ly, and curtail the demand for our cotton crop. This fret alone is sufficient to bring forward every party in the country in favor of an annexation, The manufacturing
