NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Wednesday, November 27,1844. ———SS Opening of Commercial Intercourse with the Intertor of South America. The President’s Message will probably con- tain several important recommendations to Congress relative to the forming of commer- cial treaties with the inner provinces of South America, and the acknowledgment of the independence of the republic of Paraguay.— This subject has oceupied the recent attention of the Secretarv of State, and in accordance with his expanded. views, on the subject of ecmmercial treaties, our Southern continent, with its almost unknown and unexplored interior provinces, will be opened to our commerce, and its rich pro- ductions returned in exchange for our manufac- tures and mechanical improvements. Paraguay is now a republic, and their Con- gress has applied to this government for the recognition of their independence, which has been declared since the death of the dicta- tor, Dr. Francia. This republic is the most extensive and populous, and the most plenti- ful and rieh in its productions in South Ameri- ca; and bounding, as it does, on the central and southern provinces of Brazil, and on the Argentine and Bolivian Republics, it is almost needless to enterinto any description to commercial men of its natural and rare advantages. The navigation of the river Parana, which, together with the Ura- guay, unites to form the Rio de la Plata, is unim- peded fora distance of fifteen hundred miles, and ships of a large size can navigate its waters, al- though steam vessels would possess superior advan- tages in conveying the producis of this immense country to certain points where foreign vessels could receive them. These streams, in connection with the Paraguay, pass through, and bound seven large provinces, of at least sixty thousand square miles in extent, with neither of which, except Buenos Ayres, have the United States had any intercourse. The Republic of Paraguay, which contains over a million of souls, and has an extent of full fifteen thousand square miles, has been for thirty years under the despotic influence of the now de- ceased Francia, almost entirely excluded from any intercourse even with their nearest neigh- bors. Its productions, and that of the sur- rounding provinces of Bolivia, &c., consist of immense herds of cattle, horses and mules, that cover their plains, from which the ex- port of hides would be enormous. Its tobacco is equal to that of Cuba. Sugar cane and coffee are indigenous to the soil, and indigo and cotton grow in abundance.@gIn drugs, it produces the castor nut, Peruvian bark, sarsaparilla, rheubarb, jalap, guaiaenm, copaiba, cochineal, &c., and the Indian rubber tree, the gum of which now ferms such an article of use, is a native of its forests. Coarse wool isin great abundance, and the Yerba-Mate, or Paraguay tea, is asmuch in general use through- out the provinces of La Plata, Chile, and many parts of Peru, as the teas of China are in this coun- try and Europe. This province has been claimed by Governor Rosas, of Buenos Ayres, as a part of the Argentine Confederation ; but their recent declaration of independence, and establishment of a national flag, puts an end to hisassumption. Since then, the government of Buenos Ayres have partial- ly contended for the control of the entrance of the rivers Parana and Uruguay, and have in- sisted upon the right to govern their navigation; but, in this advanced state of international liberty, it is presumed that they will not continue to withhold from other countries advantages that they are not capable of improving themselves. A free naviga- tion of these immense streams, with their tribu- taries, would open a market for our coarse cot- tons, and other productions of immense value to our country. The introduction of steam upon the Miesissippi, but a few short years since, caused villages, towns and cities to spring up, and ‘form the centering points for the deposit of the products of the interior, from which, and the increase of population, State upon State has been brought into the Union. This was pro- duced by the introduction of steam, but the provinces and republics bordering on the Parana, which in extent is full half the whole length of the Mississippi, are alrea- dy densely populated, and numerous towns and vil- lages are located upon its shores. The recent return from Buenos Ayrés of the “ Enterprize,” under command of Lieu- tenant J. M. Watson, and important and interesting information communicated by him to the State Department, has called attention to this subject, and it is presumed that a di- plomatic agent will be sent to Paraguay to open a new field to the enterprise of this nation, and thus add another link to the great chain of its com- merce. Crumns or Bran Breap yor THE AFFLICTED. Horace Greeley is very earnest and persevering in showing that New York was not lost by the un- faithfulness of the whigs; but he confirms every view presented by us of the dangers which threat- ened his party, during the progress of the cam- paign. Yet Horace bitterly denounced us at the time for telling the truth. Poor Horace! His whig friends wont listen to the voice of the charmer, and as they refuse to be comforted, cooly turn round upon him and aver that his sad miscalcula- tions of the strength and prospects of the whigs blinded them to their danger, and had no small in- fluence in producing their defeat. Horace in this dilemma has betaken himself to philosophy, and has engaged one of the most distinguished Swe- denborgians in the country toenlighten the readers of the Tribune, while he himself pays some atten- tion to Fourrierism, which has latterly been in rather a declining state, whilst the chief apostle was engaged in saving the country. Apostle Bris- bane will be back by and by from Paris, with some fresh ideas, so we shallsoon again have Paul plant- ing and Apollos watering in the vineyard of hum- bug and folly. Retrer or THe Poor.—We publish in another column an address just issued by an association recently organized in this city for the relief of the poor. We have been long desirous of seeing an institution of this kind established, and from the character of the benevelent individuals who have now united inthe effort, we are encouraged to hope that the sociely may be the means of extending aid to many of our fellow beings who have been visited with adversity, and are sufleriog all the pangs of extreme poverty. Ina large city like this, there are always great numbers who are living in a state of the greatest peaury and physical destitu- tion. In the alleys and by-ways of this crowded metropolis scenes are daily presented at which hu- manity shudders. In hunger and cold, and nakedness thousands of our fellow creatures are calling on us for aid, and many, we are confident, would gladly respond to the appeal, if they knew any mode in which their charity could be efficiently extended. This society now affords an opportunity, to all who are thus mercifully disposed, to follow out the wishes of their hearts. We trust that it will be liberally and extensively patronized. If those whom the beneficent duthor of all good has blessed with abundance, were to discharge their duty in roinistering to the relief of the poorand indigent, much of the vice and crime which exist in society would be prevented. But it is not necessary to dwell on this theme. We have placed the address of the society before the public, and that will be, we are encouraged to hope, sufficient to procure abuadant sympathy and support to the benevolent citizens who have thus associated themselves toge- ther in this work: of Christian charity. ‘Wuat's tHe Marrer "—We perceive that “S, Sammons” the great ‘‘ native ” orator has resigns ed his office of Corperation Attorney. What's the matter? New Exement in Fasnionas.e MovsMENnTs.— Since the late election, a mew element appears to have infused itself into fashionable movements in this city. We allude to the transformation of po- litieal, sporting, fighting, ewaggerirg clubs into fashionable and social re unions, that bid fair al- ready to give tone and character to all the move- meats of the beaw monde. The ‘ Empire Club” has taken a prominent position in this singularly interesting movement; and, indeed, it is only rea- sonable and proper that an association, so distin- guished in its former character, should now be equally active, and prominent in the lists of ele- gance, fashion, and gallantry. The whig clubs have also snffered a similar transformation, which may be likened to that to which, according to the immortal Fourier, and Horace Greeley, his taithful disciple in philosophy and bran-pudding, the human soul is sub- ject, when it shuffles off this mortal coil, laying aside all its gross and defiled incumbrances, and becoming a pure, ethereal ‘‘ aroma,” which floats about in the atmosphere, until it again changes its character and takes up its abode in a tabernacle of flesh, and returns to the miry ways of this uncelestial world ; just as these clubs may one day resolve themselves into their original ele- ments of rowdyism and brandy-smashers. At pre- sent, however, they are all quite devoted to the re-organization of fashionable life in the metropolis, and we perceive that the ‘Young Whig Guard” have made arrangements for a grand ball at the ‘New York Hotel,” on the 23d proximo, which is to eclipse even that of the ‘ Empires” at old Tam- many. The Irish Repealers have also caught the prevailing infection,and instead of crowded, suffocating,perspi- ring and inflammatory meetings atWashingtooHall, they are giving a series of elegant “assemblies” at Niblo’s magnificent saloon. Their ball, on Monday night, was one of the most brilliant and recherché assemblages ever seen in this city. About eight hundred ladies and gentlemen were present, and the beauty of the women—the intoxication of the music —the brilliancy of the chandeliera—the liveliness of the jigs—the flavor of the oysters—the profusion of the champaigne—the gaiety and enjoyment of the whole scene, could be adequately described only by one of the drawing-room literati, who can write a column of transcendental prose on the in- step of a ballet girl, or their emctionson gazing at the eye-lash of a prima donna. A glance at the Repeal ball, however, convinced us of two facts— that the approaching season is going to be one of unusual excitement in the fashionable world, and that Niblo’s saloon, with its superb suite of draw- ing and supper rooms and spacious gallery, will, in all probability, be the favorite ball-room in this city. Temperance Lecturing.—The way in which the system of “temperance lecturing” is conducted is rather amusing. It appears that the lecturers, who are generally young men of good address, and capable of talking fluently to a popular audience, are hired for a specified time by the agents of some of the societies, or by individuals, in the way of a speculation, and then let out at so mucha night, or a collection is taicen up after the lecture, which the “proprietor” puts into his pocket. From all that we have been able to learn of the working of this system, we are inclined to believe that it has not contributed to the prosperity of the great temperance reformation. On the contrary, we are disposed to think that to this system may, in a great measure, be attributed the decline which has unhappily been visible for the last few years in the progress of the temperance cause. In some cases the lecturers have not been persons of that established and consistent moral character which was indispensible in the successful and reputable pursuit of their avocation. The work of advoca- ting temperance has thas degenerated into a mere mercenary speculation, and temperance meetings been conducted, in too many instances, rather with a view of obtaining a large ‘‘collection,” than of extending the blessings and triumphs of the tem- perance society. ‘The whole subject of the present state and prospects of the temperance movement is altogether one of great interest, and we intend soon to recur to it, and examine it in all its aspects. ApMinistraTION or JusticE—-Rowpyism.—On the evening of Sunday last, a gang of rowdies as- sembled at the corner of Grad and Pitt streets, and attacked and insulted every female that pass- ed. Their outrageous conduct continued until a strong body of respectable citizens, aided by the few watchmen who could be found, surrounded and apprehenaed five or six of their number. The scoundrels were lodged in the Tombs, and on the following morning were brought before the Magis- trate. What was done with them? Why, they were each held to bail in $100 to keep the peace and forthwith discharged! A more striking exam- ple of the powerless, inefficient, and farsical admi- nistration of criminal justice in this city could hardly be presented. Every one of these rowdies should have been sent to the Penitentiary for a twelve month. This is the “police reform” that the “‘natives” promised us. Next spring will show us the verdict which the respectable portion of the community have already pronounced on such un- blushing infidelity to solemn aud reiterated pled- ges. Kure anv Fork Tovrists.—We are occasion- ally much amused by the letters of acertain c‘aes of tourists, which are very often met with in the columns of the smaller fry of newspapers in this day of universal steam navigation. One of these peripatetics had in the Commercial Advertiser the other day, a long story of his voyage across the Atlantic, in which he dwelt chiefly on the break- fasts on board the steamship—the marvellous abili- ties and taste of the steward—and the remarkably fine beef and mutton met with on the dinner-tables of the English hotels. These travellers may be called the “knife and fork tourists,” and ther post-prandial lucubrations are after all about as valuable and entertaining as the other matter which appears in the newspapers in question. Tue Jews.—The Israelites of Charleston have been, it appears, very much offended by a recent proclamation of the Governor of South Carolina, calling on the people of all denominations to keep Thanksgiving Day by assembling ‘‘at the respec- tive places of worship to offer up their devotions to God and the Redeemer of the world.” The Jews aver that this was an insulting exclusion of them- selves from participating in the religious services of the day. The Governor makes a very calm and sensible reply, and remarks that the Jews asked a little too much when they insisted that he should have made the invitation acceptable to them by styiking out an allusion to the great corner-stone of the Christian faith. The modesty and good sense of these Israelites appear to be pretty much on a par with those of Major Noah, who endeavored to enlist the aid of the Christian world in returning the Jews to Palestine, by telling them that their religion wag all imposture, and the Saviour whom they worshipped a humbug. Cugar Postace.—Now is the time for all the friends of this great public measure of reform to prepare petitions to Congress. Let no time be lost. Let aunited and energetic effort be made, and the measure may after all be carried through during the approaching session in spite of the obstinate stupidity of the head of the department, and the jukewarmness of the President. There is no need for any more talking about the matter. Now is the time for action—action—action. New Yorx Lerrsr Waitrns.—The National In- telligencer felicitates its readers on the engagement by it of another New York’ correspondent, who will give a synopsis of the contents of the morning papers, flat as dish-water, and only serving as the floating and appropriate medium of ing into print puffs of oyster-cellars and grog-shops, For- tunate readers! From tug Coast or Araica.—Arrived, the U. 8. ship Saratoga, Josiah Tattnall, Esq , Commander, from aneighteen month’s cruise on the coast of Africa, twenty-four daysfrom Porto Praya, and anchored in Lyn Haven Bay, Nov. 22, 1844. Annexed is a list of her officers :— « Josiah Tattnall, Commander ; Samuel F. Hezard, Liew tenant ; Charles Heywood, do; Charles 8. Boggs, do ; Enoch G. Parrott, do ; J. Curtis Wait, Acting mat. 5 George Henry Cooper, ‘Acting Master ; Horativ Brid Parser ; Horatio Glentworth, Surgeon; Isasc I. Doughty, Lieut. of Maries ; Churles I. Bates, Aasistant Surgeon ; Oscar C. Badger, Midsh‘pman ; Alexander A Semmes, do ; D Augustus Chever, do ; Ellicott D. Wall, do.; Edmund W. Heary, do; Alexander W. Rus- sell, Captain’s Clerk ; Henry P. Lunt, Boatswain ; John Barr, Gunner ; Benjamin B. Binchsted, Sailmaker ; Lu- ther Manson, Carpenter. Passengers—Charies M. Armstrong, Lieutenant ; Tho- mas Webb, Carpenter. From Banta.—The British ship Iris, Bertram, arrived last night in forty days from Bahia. We learn from Mr. Ireland, a passenger, that a distur- bance had broken out at Maccia, the precise na- ture of which had not been ascertained at Bahia when he sailed. Two Brazilian men-of-war had been despatched to aid in suppressing the outbreak, which, it was believed, would be quieted with but litle difficulty. InremperaTe Reronmens.—Some of the temper- ance people in Massachusetts are circulating peti- tions to the Legislature asking the traffic in intoxi- cating liquor to be made a State’s prison offence. This is unwise. All reforms should be attempt. ed with moderation and discretion. The temper- ance reform, in particular, ought to be managed temperately and calmly. Nothing is to be gained by violence. Prejudices to be encountered suc- cessfully, must be dealt with in a spirit of great kindness and conciliation. Long established usages, however pernicious, are not in all cases most suc- cessfully opposed, by high-handed and ultra mea- surcs, The evils of intemperance are deeply root- ed in society, andtheir causes, numerousand pow- erful, are to be removed only by the exercise of great patience, perseverance, anda zeal always ac- companied with discretion. In all moral reforms legislative enactments are of very doubtful efficacy. ‘The work must go on quietly in the body of socie- ty itself, by means of reason, argument, and all- powerful good example. Mong Pepssrrianism.—A match of twelve miles for $4000, is agreed to come off within two weeks, over the Beacon Course, Hoboken, between the Indian, Steeprock, and John Greenhalgh, the cele- brated English pedestrian, who was third in the last great footrace. It will be then seen whether a son of the forest, or the studied tactician, will pre- vail in this great feat. Barlow, the successful com- petitor, refused to run again in this country, and sail- edin the Roscius yesterday for his native land. No doubt he judged wisely in deeming that divided laurels were better than none, and therefore took what he got in preference to running the chance of Josing all. Tratian Orera.—To-night the opera of Lucrezia Borgia is to be repeated, with the same “‘ cast” as on Monday night. The musical and fashionable circles are quite in a fever discussing the merits of the prima donnas, Borghese and Pico. Two cliques are in rapid process of formation, and so hot and fierce is the controversy between them, that we are promised as much life and spirit and agree- able disputation before the curtain as there was be- hind it during the last season of the opera. ?. Signora Pico looks exceedingly fascinating in the male costume of the character sustained by her in thi opera, and the friendly rivalry between the two ami- able opera queens gives to the performance of both a great deal of spirit. There will be, of course, another very crowded and brilliant house. Mr. H. Priviirs.—Granp Sacrep Concert Tus Evenina.—This highly accomplished and ta- lented musician gives his only Sacred Concert this evening, inthe Tabernacle, Broadway ; and there is every reason to believe that the attendance will be tremendous. It is stated by those who have heard the ‘‘ Song of Moseg,” that it surpasses all his other pieces. All the gems of the most choice oratcries will be presented, in euch style as they are seldom heard in this country, and only can be sung by a Phillips. By all meansgo early, if you are desirous of being comfortably seated, Mr. Vanpennorr’s Lecturs.—This gentleman, who has, ina few months, succeeded in making the art of elocution a popular, and even fashiona- ble pursuit in our city, is engaged to deliver a lec- ture this evening at the Mercantile Library. The programme offers a diversified and elegant enter- tainment; and we have no doubt that he will have @ numerous and most intelligent audience. New Yorx Law Scuoou.—Our readers will per- ceive in the advertising columns, that the com- mencement of this interesting course of lectures, has been postponed until next Monday evening. The first lecture, being introductory, will be free. Students at law will do well to attend. Sag or Patntinas.—A sale of very choice and beautiful paintings commences this day, at 281 Broadway, among which are some rare specimens ofthe old masters; also some beautiful statuary, engravings, prints, &c. The sale will be well worth attending, if it is only for inspection. Massacnusetts Orriciat.—The aggregate vote taking the highest on each ticket, for Electors at large is as follow For Clay. * Polk. “ Birney, Mr. Clay’s majority over Mr. Polk, 14,023. Do. do. over all, 3,193. Cumoeraruy.—It will be seen by an advertise- ment in our columns, that Mr. Bristow, the cele- brated writing master, has permanently established himself inthis city. Those who wish to acquire the art of writing a beautiful hand, would do well to put themselves under his tuition. Literary Notices. Tue Cotumptan MaGcazine—Israel Post, Astor House, Publisher—The December number of this elegant periodical contains an unusual variety of interesting matter. Amongst its contributors we now notice several of the most gifted and popular of our writers. The poetry especially is of a high- er orderthan is usually met with in the magazines, Amongst the prose articles, the sketch entitled “True unto Death,” is written with much spint and a fine classic taste. Altogether the contents are of an agreeably diversified character, and pav- ticularly adapted to the drawing-room circle. The embellishments of this number, like those which have preceded them, are of high artistic excel- lence, and much superior to most of those in the other magazines. The present number concludes the second volume of this monthly, which has now attained a very extended circulation. Tue History anv Mystery or Purrina—Les- lie, Bowery.—This is a very elegantly got up vade mecum for all the lovers of “the weed.” it is writ- ten with great spirit and lively humor. Jonzs’ Menaceriz, Futon ayp ANN Seger. —A most interesting and novel exhibution has been opened by the worthy host of the Second Ward Hotel, as above, which is well worthy of inspec- tion ; the collection at present is not so very ex- tensive as some might expect, but lack of quantity is made up in quality. We shall be more minute in a future publication. Dr. VaLentine.—This gentleman is displaying his versatile talent at the Society Library, Broad way. He is well worth attending, independant of hearing Miss R. Shaw. There is {un and Music for Money. Qurery—What has become of Mayor Harper’s project for the purification of the masses—cheap baths? 0g The Law Courts adjourned on yesterday, in consequence of the death of Samuel Stevens, Esq , & very eminent member. hereupon Jane recited a long history of her grievances, fie head and the tail of which it was difficult to compre: hend. She, however, resolutely denied the jealousy. City Intelligence. Police Office.—Nov. 26.—ILtkaau Wessenens. man pamed J+mes Balding was yestel art ry. Prince John Wavis, chargea with vi lusty in ‘the 16th ward, at the last election, beings same time an alien, and having fraudulently o' his naturalization pers from Judge Smith, of the Murine Court. prisoner was committed for Gaaxp Lanceny—A Hano Case —A man named Patrick Flynn wee arresied by officers Conklin and Warren, charged with having broken open a trunk belonging to ‘one of the contractors on the Long Island Railroud and stealing therefrom $220 It appears from the statement made by Fiynn that for some thue past tae workmen have been unable to obtafn any money from the contractor until they were reduecd to a state of absolute starvation, when the men broke open the trunk and took the omount of money due to them and returned the oe, $56. Flynn was committed for trial. Fraup-A Countenrsir Acrnt.—James McDermot was arrested and committed for defrauding one Samuel Newell of $1,50, by representing himeelf as the agent for the North iver steamboats, ond taking from Mr. Newell the above sum for his passage money. On presentin} himieif on board the boat, he at once found that he ha been “cone,” and caused McDermotto be arrested. NG 4 Countnyman.—About a week since, Mr- hesney, of New Jeraey, visited the city, and by Wm, some means was robbed of $63. The circumstences un- der which the rabbery was committed, have remained a profound mystery every since, but on Monday night oflcers Knapp and Conklin succeeded in arresting Henry Holmes ae Mary Ann Lee, a6 the principals ia the transaction, and they have been committed. It is there- fore a fair inference that Mr. Mac was not sufliciently per- ticular in the choice of his associates, whilst in this vor tex of sin and temptation. Arnarp or THEIR owN Nowse.—The store of Mr. George T. Green, clothier, 112 Chatham sireet, had a narrow escape of being robbed on Monday night. On opening the store on ‘Tuesday morning, the door was found to have been entirely smashed, and the jeweller, residing next door, states that he was awoke in the night bya loud hammering, but that he ley still and heard it con tinue for some time. As nothiog was disturbed in the store, it ia supposed ‘that they were frightened by their ‘own noise and decumped. Where was the watch ? Stapeinc.—A colored girl, named Sarvh Jones, went into the cellar at the corner of Cross and Orange streets, esterday, and intruded into the box where a youth hhamed Robert Cooper and others were seated, and b:- cause they declined her company, she drew fortha razor and inflicted a severe Wound on the left arm of Cooper. She was arrested by John Davis and stands committed. Coroner’s Office, Nov. 26 —Suvpen DeatH OF A Paisoxen.—Aun inquest was held Tosteniey. at Blackwell's Island, on the body of Daniel D. Williums, aged 46. a native of New Hampsbire. The deceased was committed from the Upper Police as a vagrant, en Monday last. He complained of being unwell, and died while being con- veyed from the keeper's office to the hospital. Verdict— Death from dropsy of the chest. Special Sessions. His Honor the Mayor, and Aldermen Winship and Has- rouck, Presiding. Nov. 26:8 Hog Carrier.—Thos. Smith, avery ill-look- ing negro, with a black eye, was charged with stealing a pix, which he wes seen carrying through Washington Market. Jobn Dunn lost a pig about the same time, and had no doubt it was stolen by the prisoner. Mayor—Now, Thomas, tet us hear your stoly. Paonen—I don’t know nothing about that man’s pig, and aa for this man’s seeing me carrying one, why he Fre aseen me carrying tweuty or thirty a day some- times. Mayvorn—Twenty or thirty aday !

Pnisonen—You see | just came from Hartford, andI happened to be in the street; the shirt was falling off the line, and I just took hold of it to throw it across, when this person charged me with stealing it.

The sales were not very large. The stock market has, withina day or two, been very much nffveted by rumors, current in Wall street, touch- ing the nature of the advices recently received at Wash. ington from Mexico aad Texas, and the bears have taken advantoge of the impression produced on the public mind to depress prices and destroy confidence, in which they have succeeded admirably. Operators in stocks, at this moment, are very sensitive, and are influenced by the slightcst movement, and reports of every kind will no doubt be put in circulation to break down the market. - The fancies are the only stocks effected by the reports, and they will, forthe next month or two, fluctuate from day to day full as much as they have for the past month. The market will not be again settled until after the ad- journment of Congress. It would be well tor those who wish to keep what money they may have, to keep clear of Wall street until the questions now agitating the pub- lic mind are disposed of. s ‘The Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Bank of Hartiord, Conn. has declared a dividend of three and a half per cent out of the earnings of the last six months, The books of the New York and Erie railroad are open at No. 34 Wall street. ‘The annexed report of the Columbia Railroad Company shows the receipts of the road to the 24th instant, within one week of the close of the fiscal year.

For the month, the receipts will not much exceed $560,000, which is but a little more than one-third of the receipts for October. The importations'have fallen olf very rapidly within the past few weeks, and we have no doubt the revenue from customs will be smaller in De- cember than in November. This immense decline in the importations will reduce the surplus revenue very much, and do away with mony of the evils anticipated from any great accumulation of government deposits.— The government are not in want of funds after the Ist of January, farther than to meet the current expenses, un- til 1863, when another instalment of the public debt, amounting to $7,000,000, becomes due. It is impossible, at this early day, to tell what may transpire to induce large importations in the spring, but so far as present in- dications go, we should judge that the value of next spring’s importations would fall far below the value of last. Under the present tariff, the importations in one year have not fallen much short of one hundred and twen- ty thousand dollars; we therefore see that the rate of duties does not act as a regulator of importations. It requires some other power to cheek the influx of foreign man- ufactures. That power is vested in our banking institu- tions, and it depends entirely upon the course they adopt whether we shall be flooded with merchandise from abroad, or whether our imports shall be confined to the le- gitimate wants for consumption. The country is et this moment. full of goods Many of our importers have very large stocks, andj business, for the season, is about over. These goods must be paid for at prices much above the present market value,and severe losses must bethe result. A large portion of the stocks will become still farther depreciated before the opening of the spring trade. All these influences will work favorably towarJs keeping back the supply of goods inthe spriag, and itis possible the importations may be sufficiently re duced to allow the regular consumption to use up the surplus now inthe market. The exportation of specio from this port, since last June, will not fall far short of six millions of dolars,and before the close of the year will probably he increased to eight or nine millions. A gradual and steady drain of the precious metals, from this coun" try, must continue, unless our importations of foreign merchandise are rapidly and permanently reduced, end the balance of trade put on the other side of the ledger. ‘We can spare, at this time, afew millions of dollors in gold or silver, but at the rate the tide is now setting the precious metals abroad, it may soon get tco strong to be easily turned.

The exports of cotton and woollen manufactures, for the same period in 1844,compared with the three previous years, have increased very much, produced, no doubt, in a great measure by the additional demand from this coun- try. The principal portion of the edditionel amount of foreign merchandise imported into the United States so far, this year, is composed of the cotton, woollen, linen and siik mannfuctures of Europe. These manufactures find great competition in similer articles manufactured here, and the supply from all sources has been so great as ty nerly destroy the market for all. Within the past year our local manufactures have been unusually active, ond have turned out agreater quantity of goods than ever be- fore manufactured in this country; these, with our lorge importations; reduced prices below a remunerating point. We noticed, by the recent advices from Manches- ter, that the manufacture of domestics had been, in « great measure, abandoned. We are already able to com- pete with the world in the manufacture of this descrip- tion of goods. We are rapidly monopolizing the most important merkets, and have even exported our domes- tics to the markets of Great Britain. Under any con. struction of the teriff our manufacturing interests must rapidly advance ; having secured a solid foundation, they are nearly able to sustain themselves without the most trifling afd from government.
