NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Friday, May 24, 1844. The Bishop Hughes Controversy. We give, to-day, the concluding portion ofthe re- markable politice-religious document, fulminated by Bishop Hughes against the sinners of the age in general, and James Gordon Bennett—“the most dangerous man of the time”—in particular. Our readers are thus now in full possession of this eu- riows epistle ; and we shall proceed with all the | except that which refersto the Carroll Hull move- | heresy and schism.” In the earlier part of the ses calmness, deliberation, and solemnity, which the vase demands, to subject such portions of it, as re- main unnoticed, to a searching review. The whole epistle is extremely diffuse and vague its statements and assertions. It is full ot repe- titions and egotisms, and irrelevant declamation. It is entirely wanting in that lucid arrangement and style,—that frank, manly, and vigoreus tone which are indispensably necessary to give strength and ef- feet to such a vindication as that which the Bishop attempts. For it is in the character of an apologist that Bishop Hughes presents himself betere the world in this letter, We shall dispose to-day of all that portion of the letter in which he acts on the offensive, which we have not already dissected ; and to-morrow we shall take up that which consti- tutes, indeed, the whole gist of the epistle—to wit, the vindication attempted of the Bishops’ conduct in entering Carroll Hall as a politic religious agita- tor, and then organizing his flock into a distinct and separate political body, pledged to act in con- cert, and iu strict obedience to his will. We shall thus be led to expose the erroneous statements made by this Right Rev. prelate, with respect to our re- port of his famous speech. We shall show in the most conclusive manner that the report which ap- peared in our columns was identical with the very letter with that which received his own sanction, and was published to the world in his own journal And then taking this speech, as our text, we shall enter into a tull review of the Bishop’s conduct,and show forth the influence exercised by it upon the progress of events trom that day to the present. There remains, then, for notice this day, only that portion of the letter in which the Bishop at- tempts te cast upon us the odium of fanning the flame of sectarian animosity, by the publication of the celebrated report of the ‘Great American Re- publican Meeting,” at which one of the orators was represented as declaring his belief that there were dungeons under St. Patrick’s Cathedral intended for the reception of the Protestant clergy of this city, when the Catholics would gain the ascendan- cy. Now, the ground of this charge is indeed ex- ceedingly frail—almost as weak and unsubstantial as the Bishop's vindication of his own conduct.— That whole report was conceived and executed in the apirit which has animated some of the greatest teachers of morals and philosophy in various ages. It was intended to convey wholesome and sa- | 798 @ greatdeal ot melo-dramatic effect, and pre-} have been concerned in the several plots before lutary advice, and to instruct and direct the | emtivg an exhibition of a degree ot talent, origin- | mentioned.

Our timely warning was not without effect. It alarmed, it excited the American people to arise in all the might of free and independent men, and nip in the very bud the poisonous growth, whose seeds had been sown by the hands of this Right Rev. Bishop Hughes. But we must pause, We have now disposed of all the portions of the letter which call for’notice, ment. That we shall despatch to-morrow. Macrkapy 1N 4 New Cnanacter —We under- stund that Mr. Macready, who has been represent ing the principal Shakspearian characters to ad- miring audiences for the last fortaight, will proba- bly appear in a new and original character on Sa- turday afternoon next, at 2 o’clock, before Judge Kent, in the Circuit Court. It seems that Mr. Ma- cready’s evidence in the suit brought by James Gordon Bennett against Chevalier Wikoff, is of some importance, and a process uf law has been is- sued, requiring the attendauce of the great trage- dian at the time and place specified above, to give his evidence de bene esse, in atticipation of that case, as it is probable that Mr. Macready wil soon eave the counwy, or at all events, be out of the neighborhood, when the trial comes on. It will be recollected by those who read the arti cles relative to Chevalier Wikoff in this paper that that distinguished man-muilliner charged the editor of this paper with having an intention and indicating a desire to levy ‘* black mail’ upon Mr. Macready, and that not succeeding, that he wished to squeeze a dinner out of Mr Macready, but not succeeding even in that, for it seems according to all accounts that Mr. Macready did not give him the dinner; and, of course, he lost his dinner that day, unless he got it at Long’s Hotel, the immortal “ waiters ” being in attendance. Well, in all these important points Mr. Macready will be called on to testify and explain how he became acquainted with the chevalier—what the chevalier said to him—and the interview he had with Mr. Bennett, with all that passed on these occasions— together with every thing in relation to “ black mail” operations. This evidence will be of some interest in the literary, philosophical, fashionable and theatrical world, and particularly to the ‘‘ wai- ters at Long’s Hotel,” for we believe that on the very occasion in question, two of those identical waiters showed Mr. Macready to our parlor ! Such is the interesting and uovel character—that of a witness in this immortal suit of black mail— in which Mr. Macready will appear precisely at 2 o’clock, post meridian, on Saturday next, the 25th instant, before Judge Kent, and in presence of the counsel of the respective parties. It will, on the whole, be a unique and interesting scene, combi- plays. Ot But’s Movements.—We understand, from Crisis in rue Metuopisr Eriscopa, Cuurcu.— The deliberations of the General Conference of in this city, long enough, one would think, to set- Ue all the affairs appertaining to men whose chief treasure is in heaven, to arrenge harmoniously the jarring elements of the whele chureh militant— have, within this few days, assumed an aspect of solemnity, very portentious, and well ca!eulated to alarm the minds, and disturb the quiet of all well- disposed and zealous enemies of “false doctrine, | sion, an observer would have hardly inferred from | the proceedings of this body—for the most part un- important, often trifling—always itinerant and er- ratic, that there was a cloud upon them charged with the elemeats of combustion; not such a cloud as that which wasseen in the wilderness of old, guid- ing the children of Abraham from bondage; Wut one which, of anything but heavenly origin, is !uring "he affectionate ‘ollowers of John Wesley, if not from slavery, we fear from that calinness end placi/ity, whose more active element is the vitali'y of \!i- gion aed piety, The debates now going all eugrossing, and the great issue being still wicertain, but serve to add to the interest taken in the question, not enly by those engeged, but by the public, whe attend in large numbers in the galleries. Ic appears that there is a principle of repulsion in operation between the Northern and Southern sections of the church, and that principle has been generated, and still stimulated by the abolition agitation; or as some of the body contend, the old Methodiasticul feeling against slavery. One thing is certain, that until this be settled, clearly, boldly, emphatically decided, there will be no peace in the Methodisti- cal Zion—there will be ‘‘no balm in Gilead.” There is without doubt a good deal of talent, and no lack of zeal among the Methodist ministry, but it will require all that and more, to reconcije the honest, the unsophisticated, the straight forward religious principles of John Wesley, with this tem- porizing half and half, and anything but courageous policy which would strive to administer to such an inveterate evil as slavery, a quietus having for its principal ingredient expediency. Want of space forbids us saying more. Partaking of the interest that is felt, we could add some ob- servations on this subject; but, upon consideration, perhaps, it is as well to say little until the result of the present agitation is more apparent, leaving the contending parties to decide, as little trammelled by the force of public opinion as possible, and nothing but the fear of God before their eyes. Late rrom Cusa.—We have received, by the Hualco, advices from Havana to the 12th instant, inclusive. In Matanzas they are constantly bringing in ne. groes as prisoners; also a great many lawyers, engi- neers of plantations and coffee planters, supposed to genic concealed by the blacks in the sugar brakes.

Cattle were dropping off for want of water tion of the council-chamber—and with what effect they talked we have all seen abundantly demon- strated. But our report—that report which this Right Rev. prelate, has denounced as “ incendiary”—as calculated to inflame the passions of opposing sects—done much more than enlighten and in- struct the men of this new movement, as to the great objects which they should set before them. tt did much—very much—to exorcise the foul spirit of religious bigotry. It did much to suppress that fierce, proseriptive spirit, which was justly ab- horred by the wise and good cilizen. And this very passage quoted by the Bishop, was introduced for the express purpose of exposing in all its silly absurdity—in all its disgusting violence—in all its dangerous tendency—that ‘‘anti-popery” spirit, which had been manifested by some of the ultras of the party, and which we have all along denounced with all the force and vehemence which we could bring tothe work of exterminating such a hideous monster. Thus we intended this pas- sage to operate, and thus it did operate. Just as we had represented in the report, the good sense, the intelligence, the liberality, the just feeling of the rights and duties of American citizenship which characterised the great mass of the party, put down the violent religious intolerance which had mani- femed itself, and all the orators who attempted to follow in the vein of “Mr. Ebenezer Sweet,” were taught that like him, they must expect to be si- lenced. But with a disingenaousness that does him little credit, and which we are sorry to say, is too cha- Tacteristic of the Bishop, he takes an isolated pas- sage from this report, and entirely in opposition to the plain, direct, and not to be mistaken purport of the context, he affixes his own erroneous and false interpretation to it, in the vain endeavor to make out the charge that we had participated in his guilty incendiary work of inflamingand exciting re- ligious prejudices in the minds of the community. This paltry bit of Jesuitism will not answer the purpose. It won’t serve the Bishop. In the same way we could misapply and misinterpret a text ot the Holy Scripture and make it blasphemous and absurd. No—no—Right Rev. Dr. Hughes, the public are not thus to be misled, with respect to (ae spirit and purpose of our report, which were presented so intelligibly on its face, and which, as we intended exposed the folly and wickedness of attempting to excite hostility against the Catholics as a sect The Bishop talks of the “malignity” with which | we have assailed him. We have never assailed the man ; but that we have again, and again, and again, denounced his conduct in descending into the arena | of this world’s politics, and assuming all the airs of | political gladiatorship,—that we have denounced | him for urging and halloing on to political fight, the | flocks whom he should have gathered only around the altar of the most high God,—this we admit, and | admit with an honest and a just pride. We dis. | charged our duty. We denounced Bishop Hughe: as we had denounced every man, of whatever creed, who dared to disturb our social order by he introduction of religious bigotry, and prejudice, and passion into political discussion. And if todo he will play at the complimentary concert to Mr. turning by the way of Niagara, Buffalo, Roohcater, and Ltica; spending a few weeks at Saratoga, in the height of the season. This wonderful genius will be the rage all this summer. Nothing can equal him—nothing can come up to him. Bisor Hawggs.—We perceive by our exchange papers from the West, that the Rev. Dr. Hawkes, recently Rector of St. Thomas’ Church in this city, hes been chosen Bishop of the Diocese of Missis- sippi. A more erudite, talented, eloquent and pious- minded man than Bishop Hawkes does not exist in any of the Churches. {n all respects he is fitted to adorn the high ecclesiastical station to which he has been elevated. During his residence in this city he won the respect, admiration and love of all who knew him, especially of the Episcopal Church. But in consequence of his superior erudition, elo- quence and accomplishments, he excited the envy, jealousy, ana hatred of some of his clerical breth- ren, who combined against him as blockheads generally do against their superiors. We are happy, however, to perceive that he is justly appreciated in the west. Our Post Orrice AGain —We have one of the drollest concerns for a Post Office that any coun- try was ever blessed with. Its mail arrangements are of the most promiscuous character. There are one or two mails from Orleans now due that have been laying in Baltimore no one can tell for how many days. We are sure that neither the Post- master General nor ourselves can tell with any certainty. Tue Penticosr.—To-day and to-morrow will be great days with the Jews throughout the world, be- ing the 3156th anniversary of their reception of the Jaw. The synagogues on those occasions, are adorned with the choicest flowers, emblematic of the appearance of Jerusalem indays of yore. The Rey. Mr. Isaacs will deliver an English discourse, descriptive of the festival, this evening at 6 o’clock, at his synagogue in Elm street Canapa.—We have Montreal papers of the 20th inst. There wasnonews of importance. The go- vernment will not be removed to Montreal till sometime next month. Texas.—Our advices from Galveston are to the 11th inst. inclusive. Three or four of our men-of- war had touched at that port and proceeded to Vera Cruz. Much dissatisfaction was expressed in Texas at the opposition which annexation had met with in this country. ‘Tempmrancé IN Massacuusetts.—It is now with some difficulty that a person can get anything stronger than coffee to drink in Massachusetts. No laws are so strongly -nforced as the license laws in that State, and hence the difficulty, We under stand that the principal hotels in Boston, the Ame- rican and Tremont, have been prosecuted for sel- ling wine to gentlemen who stopped atthose houses. This state of things almost equals the famous fifteen gallon law. Vations iN Europe, by Dr. John P. Durbin, & Brothers, We have awaited the ap- pearance of this work with some anxiety; for we were led, by the perusal of several letters from its this be toincur guilt, to render us liable to the censure of good citizens, why then we mean ne- ver to cease add.ng to our guilt—never to be free fromcensure. Whilst we have a hand to write, or a mind to conceive, we shall neverrefrain from denouncing the man who dares to scatter in this land of freedom, the firebrands of religious ani- mosity. Religious intolerance—the mingling of religious fanaticism with political agitations—the contests of rival creeds—these have been the deso- lating sources of social evils, which have tor ages impeded human progress in the old world—bedew- ed the soil of Christendom with torrents of blood -and ereeted and sustained despotiams beneath which the bodies and the souls of men have been crashed like the maddened votaries of the Hindoo vemoniac god. And it was for attempting to open author while abroad, published in some of our jour. nals, as well as by his general reputation, to antici- pate a book of no common interest. In this expec- tation we have not been disappointed ; for we have rarely met a discussion of the subjects embraced in its pages marked by more ability, candor, and liber- ality, or by a firmer devouon to th principles of re- publicanism than that which occupies the greater portion of these two volumes. There isno evidence of bitterness, still less of adulation; and all ques- tions of polities, literature, religion, education and social improvement, are treated in a judicious and yet earnest manner. The other parts of the book, embodying the incidents, scenes and adventures by which his travels were marked, are graceful and highly entertaining; and the accounts he has given of the progress of Methodism in Great Britain must be of the deepest, interest, especially to the members of that denomination, of which he is a conspicuous ornament.

The Corporation, im opening the Avenue near what is called m1 the Biooi Road, in virtue of the City Charter, ame an alleged right to levy asaessment from Mr, Stri- ker. ‘The premises were sold out in the interim, in com- plimee with the requirements of the statute. Mr. Striker brings the action on the grounds of the illegality and the unconstitutionality of the proceedings of the Common Council. ‘The interest created from the fact of Mr. Web ster being employed as Counsel against the Corporation, drew together a vast crowd of persons which rendered the Court room difficult of access long before 10 o'clock.

Those who have not yet purchased tion of jurists of high character; and since his arrival in the city he had read the opinions of a high judicin] author- ity, who said that it might be cailed a “distanguished bo- rough rage.” It was well kuown that the corporations in Englaut had the same authoriiy as theirs ; and he was of opinion that there was authority in the London corpora tion for taking down a single house in the exercise of their power. ‘The ex-Chancellor gave it as his opinion that pri- vate right could not stand in the way of public right ; but he would turn on him and say that a8 an individual he had his right, which he woul eer and his rights were as essential to him the public right. which was thus claimed. He had too much respect for his professional character, and entertained too high asense of what was due to the court, to he led away tion to the action of the Judges ou ubject that came before the court, that would be deemed inconsistent with what was due to them ; but ina pro: eeding which took away men’s property, every security—every should be sifted and rigorously examined ; end he ‘ma: mitted ‘o say, that if the syatem on which the was grounded, were adopted in New York, it was peculiar to New York, and no where else—it was a New York idea. The court were to decide the case according to the law as it stood ; and as the corporation claimed under the statute for “public uses,” he knew of no denomination so indefi nite as the words ‘public use.’ The corporation take the pro- perty for “public uses,” but whether it was for the north or the south no person knew anything about it. The first con struction of the law was, that in any proceedings which were derogatory to common right, every thing prescribed by the statute should be proved, step by step, and no thing could be presumed without proof, and such a pro- position was well supported by all the reasoning in the world, as it was by the Court—every power granted by a particular statute—by the exercise of which private pro- perty was taken away, was a power that should be con atrued strictly. severely, rigorously—everything was to be proved. The present went upon the ground that com pelled a man in the first place to take a efit—a benefit which began in e and ended in infliction—this bene- fit forced upon him, charged him with a debt, which be- came alien on his estate. ‘The taking of private property under the law of 1813, was irreconcilable with law. By the taking of the property in question, the city contracted a debt of $20,000, and that debt was incurred for ‘ public nse,” and he wished to know how they proposed to pay it? It was a common principle under the Magna Charta not to deprive aman of his property withont process of law; and alearned and very distinguished judge, Chief Justice Park, had remarked that this kind of prerogative in republican governments was more dangerous than in monarchical. The act of 1841 took away from the purchasers the right of entering upon the premises purchased without giving six months notice. His learned friend, Mr. Emmet, had ad- dressed the Court on yesterday on the constitutional ques- tion involved in the case, and he, therefore, would apply himself for the present to the general question. It ap peared there were two questions in relation to the validity which it was impossible for them to get over. The first was the want of all proof at the trial, to show the exist- ence of an unpaid assessment. Before a sale takes place, the law requires the publication or advertisement of such a sale; but such not being given, it was conclusive against the defendant. The trial in another court went on by 0 hill of exceptions, and the ruling of the judge involved all the particular ‘The law of 1813 made the amount of cess a lien on theestate. He believed that the sale took place in the present instance under the act of 1816. That act provided that whenever and wherever an * ment on lands or tenements was made, the Collec- tor should first make affidavit that the owner or tenant refused to pay the sum demanded, and if the owner could not be found, in such case they should take an order for advertising the land for salo At the trial in the other Court, this affidavit has been called for and was not produ- ced—there was no prea! of its existence. ‘The authority to sell arose from the fact of there being an unpaid assess ment. The affidavit was the statutory provision under the Act, and it was not applied. The case as applied made » third party responsible for the acts of two. The statute reqnired that “ there should be conclusive evidence, that the sale was regular according to the provisions of the Ast, and it also was sufficiently explicit in relation to the affidavit. In 18 Johnson Reparte—the case of Clark vs. Mott—there wai triking analogy between that case and the present one, and in the same language verbum post ver bo, “there must be conclusive evidence of the fact of the ””—and they had it that there was no evidence demand: in the Court below.

This had not beendone, The court said that it was a matter of law between taxing and assessing, which was peculiar to the charter, and if so they should not have rejected a requirement so impor. tant when the object was improvement. The resolution should then have been passed. The object of putting such a provisien into the charter was to protect and care- fully guard the rights of parties whose property was in- volved, Thecharter was drawn and prepared by acom- mittee of citizens of New York, and made the recording of the “ayes” and “nays” n specific requirement on “all propositions on assessments on property.” He tound the proposition also in the charter, that where public expendi- ture was required by the Common Council in any such case as the present, they were bound to publish such « proceeding immediately after adjournment. The Board came to the resolution on the 20th of July, and they dic not publich it until the 2th of July. In the case of the appointment of overseers of the poor, which brought them back to 431 Elizabeth. the ground was taken that that provision of the State wax merely direc- tory--the court said that that was the great Magna Charta poor law—this was one of the great funda- mental maxims of regulation in the construction of the city charter, and it would be dangerous to defert the hopes and expectations of the people of the Con- vention under which the charter was framed. He would now proceed to consider the constitutional question The law of 1813 conferred the power. He had often. with re. aret, seen questions arise of that character under the gene- ral laws of the United States, where questions arnse out of written md constitutional restraints upon legislators. Tne law which conferred the power under the charter vas older than the Constitution of the State; and was passed under a law of 1777—something was changed in ite phraseology, but it was changed in 1921. The act pro- vided that neither Chancellor nor judges should hold any other office of " public trust” We should consider then ‘ag meant bv public trust. It meant a place, an of- ituation, of dignity of power. Certain duties were to be performed by the Jndges of the Court. In England it meant holding high office In another sense it meant the exercise of some duty. Blackstone defined it in a le gal sense, and in this sense it was synonymous with trast. His learned friend, in his addresa on yester- day dwelt on the worl “held” as used, which implied the holding of the trust. The word trust meant the ex- ercising of the pubtic confidence. The Judge had the power to exercise the public trust, which appropriately belonged to him, and this trust was judicial at WAR the meaning of it, The Judge then, by the law, could not exercise this trust under the old, but the new statute, There were judicial powers connected with the Court, and there were powers that were not judicial, upon which there was a well founded distinction They should consider whether or no the Judges in performing their duties in the present case, had acted in a judicial sense hy the appointment of Commissioners. It was said to be the business of the Judge to pronounce and ndjudge the Jigputed question of law—-that was the leading duty of the Judge—and inthe present proceeding there was not one particle in the whole case which was done according to rule of law. ‘The appointing of Commissioners was an act of judicial por and it was an act of judicial power to Appoint to an office not connected with the ad. ministration of justice, for purposes that were distinct — The whole proceedings were indefensible, which he un- he was not testing st dertook to say with great respect, the proposition in relation to the Judge, but in rela. tion to settled law. Courts of Law were inveated high powers, and there was an attribute in a ‘of Law which gave the power of calling in witnesses and jurors, In the ordinary course of bu- ainess, they had invariably seen witnesres summoned as jurors in the administration of justice, and yet no witness: es were summoned in the present case. The practice of making partition went back as far as the time of Henry the Fighth. ‘The judges, in such cases as the present, onght to be called Revisors of the Commissioners’ Reports, and not judges. ‘The question was raised in 1821, and he wished it had been raised long before. ‘The Conrt acted unter the Legislature, and the Legislature could still charge them with higher duties, "quidusdam generis.”— The Taw was a plain enactment, and there was no half. way business in it. It seemed to be accorded thatthe passage of a law was prima facie, and it was difficult to reconcile how officers of the law could justify acts that Aid not belong tothe law. In the case of the Bank of the United States against Oswell—the Legislature of Ohio as- sessed a tax on the bank to the amount of $40,000. The defendant went to the bank and took ont the money. He wns sned. and put in asa plea of justification, the exist- ence of the act of the Legislature. The action, however, was sustained. ‘The question arose, in the present case whether or no the Corporation had not acted in a similar manner in the cace of Mr. Striker. It was suggested by n tearned brother that if anch a principle as was contended for by the plaintiff, were established, it would lead to endless litigation ; but he apprehended no such thing — Their Honors were to consider whether such a principle was right or wrong, and the question was a simple one. Mr. Emmet followed, and spoke on the general ques- tion, having applied himself to the constitutional question on yesterday. The Court then proceeded with the regu- lar order of business. ———— ee fj THE BEST SHAVING SOAP IN THR WORLD in the preparation ofthe Old Naples Soap, made into. a perfumed paste by 'T. Jones.

At the railroad, which reserved to the Legislature a discretien- ary power to fix the toll to be paid for the use of the road by any new railroad entering the same. An interference of this power was requested by the directors of the Western railroad company. It was stated before the referees, by the counsel for the Western road, that in 1848, before that road opened, the income of the Worcester road was $212,- 000, in 1843 it had risen to $303,000 ; that the Worcester road earned $8,600 per mile ; while the Western earned but $3,700 per mile ; that the Worcester, for 44 miles, had drawn $169,000; and the Western, for one hundred and fifty-six, but $270,000 ; that before the Western opened, the Worcester carried up hill 23,000 tons, and brought down 6000 tons, or four up for one down ; that the West. ern brought an excess of tonnage from the West,so that the Worcester now carried up about 45,000 tons, and brought down about the same quantity annually. The counsel for the Worcester company stated that in 1838, before the Western raiJroad opened, the Boston and Wor- ceater rajJroad earned six per cent., and in 1842 earned but six per cent on its enlarged capital, with a less surplus than in 1938; and by the natural growth of business would, without the Western railroad, now be earning eight per cent., and would have had no occasion to en- large its capital to the amount expended. That the effect ot the Western road had been to reduce the local freight ofthe Boston and Worcester railroad from 28,000 tons in 1838, to 22,000 tons in 1843, and to compel the directors of the latter company to reduce its charges upon local freight from $3] per ton to an average of $2 78-100 per ton, because the people of Worcester complained of the low rates to Springfield. According to the tables prepared by the Boston and Worcester company, the Western rail_ road freight was 60,000 tons, producing $90,000, at an ex. pense of $66,000; and yielding @ nett revenue of $24,000 only ; while the local freight, $28,000 tons, produced $42,000 nett profit. These were the principal arguments used by the opposing parties. The decision of the arbitra- tors is more favorable to the Western road than the facts appear to warrant. They fix the toll on general merchan- dise at 2 87-100 per mile ; on flour 9 cents per bbl, and ow firat class passengers 2J cts, per mile—the Worcester Co. to find passenger cars for their ow» road. The result will be a saving to the Western railroad of about 32 cents per ton, oF $29,000 07 ty thousand tons of freight, the quan- tity passing this year, and about $6000 on cars and pas- sengers, mak total saving of at least $34,000 annually. The settlem: this question will have a favorable in- fluence ont ck ef both companies. The doubtand un certainty th so Jong existed in relation to the subject, have hada tendenc) to keep down prices and to restrict operations. Although the saving of this large amount annually will advance the value of the stock of the Western Road, and sooner enable the company to declare a dividend, we do not believe it will operate to the injury of the Worcester Railroad. The interests of the two roads are in a measure, identified. Many that are stockholders in one are also stockholders in the other. should be, infact, one. The Western is but a continua. tion of the Worcester, and eventually the two roads must become amalgamated. Tho immense expense and outlay of capital attending the completion of the Western Road, cannot receive remuneration at present, but the time is net far distant when it will do a more profitable business than the Worcester. The Canton Company of Baltimore have declared a dividend of one dollar per share. The company have been able to do this, from the receipts of five hundred shares of forfeited stock, the sale of which relieved them trom debt, leaving a sufficient surplus to allow making a small dividend. We cannot agree with the directors of this company, as to the probable benefits arising from this policy. A reduction of capital, by withdrawing all the forfeited stock, would have resulted to the greatest advan" tage. About eleven hundred shares of stock were forfvit- ed, and by selling as much of this stock as would have the balance from the market, the capital of the company would be greatly reduced, and the affairs placed on a bet- ter, safer and more profitable foundation. The trifling di- vidend of one dollar per share amounts to nothing The influence of this dividend will soon be lost and the atock dollar per share is evidently forced for some purpose, and the stockholders may possibly find it but a small return for the depreciation that must assuredly follow such movements. This stock was one of the bubbles of 1536. In the fall of that year, immediately after a dividend of six dollars per share, a grand explosion took place, when the stock went from 90 a 92 per cent down to 10a 12. It hae since been struggling up, until about four months since i reached 40 a 42 per cent, at which point it seemed fixed has reached 674 per cent, and to inflate it still more th company declare the paltry dividend of one dollar pe share. We fear the result of such movements and woul: advise those interested to be on their guard and protec themselves while the excitement still rages. We notic movements made in several of these faney stocks, to g¢ up as great speculations ver before existed. Th state of the muney marke! the course adopted by th banks, are favorable for these operations, and which ux jess checked, may spread over the country, and carr: down hundreds to bankruptcy.
