There is no longer any doubt ef the accuracy of our statement made recently, that Mr. Cushing had succeeded in affecting, on the part of the United States, a very important treaty with China. The arrival of the “ Sappho,” at Boston, has placed the matter beyond question, and we have every reason to believe that the treaty and accompanying decu- ments have been transmitted to Washington. The following is the official announcement made by our Minister, Mr, Cushing, on the successful com- pletion of his negotiations:— U. 8. Legation, Macao, July 4- The Minister of the United S:ates has the pleasure to announce that yesterday, at Wanghia, he congluded and signed with the Imperial Commissioner, Keying, a treaty of peace, amity, and commerce between the United States a ey of the treaty, which will in duatime ba made public by the proper authorities, are such, he is happy to say, as he believes will confirm the good understanding which already exists between the two governments, and if ratified, prove beneficial to the commerce and interest« of the citizens and subjects of both countries. The Minister of the United States congratulates his countrymen on this event, and offers them, on this happy unniversary of the independance of their country, bis hearty wihes for their health and prosperity, and joins them in their aspirations for the continued peace,weifare, und glory of the United States. Tu the Americans residing in China. There now appears very little excuse for the in- credulity of our contemporaries in our announce- ment, a week ago, of this importantand interesting tact. The affected suspicion of the accuracy of the intelligence regarding Mr. Cushing’s successful attainment of the objects ot his mission, which was manifested by the London press, admits of easy explanation, but the silly incredulousness of the party papers here, canonly be accounted for on the ground of their general stupidity and obtuse- ness with respect to every thing except the duty party work of the present moment. This may be justly regarded as one of the most important commercial movements which have ever taken place between the United States and any foreign nation. In a former article we dwelt at some length on the advantages which must necee- sarily accrue to this country, and on the signifi- cauce of the fact when regarded in a general point of view «8 illustrative of our growing nation- al prosperity. Well may the London jour- nals exhibit splenetic regret at the comple- tion of this meaty. It is, we must ad- mit, sufficreutly provoking that after the great expenditure of biood aud treasure by Great Britain in obtaining a foothold in China, that the United States should, by oo other instrumentality than the peaceful one of skilled and faithful diplomacy, suc- ceed in obtaining an even larger share than Eng- land herself in the advantages of comarercial inter- course with the great Chinese empire. This event will, indeed, commence a great rivalry between England and the United States in commercial negotiations for the trade of the world, and there is little doubt that, in the long run, we shall beat and out-sail our mother-land. We have youth, energy, skill, and, above all, perfect liberty of actien. This treaty will probably form the eubject of ano- ther message to Congress, and the Senate will have it iu their power, if they dare, to reject this treaty us they did that with the Zoll-Verien. We have never entertained a very high opinionof Mr. Ty- ler’s diplomacy inthe formation of a party to sup- port himself, bat we de think that in relation to the management of our foreign relations, his ad- ministration has been more successtul and more fruitful than any that has preceded it since the days of Washington. In the negotiations with Chi- na, it is only just to remind our readers, Mr. Tyler hae had the aid of a gentleman eminently fitted to r uct them withskill, fidelity and success. Mr. Cushing is eminently a practical man. With a highly cultivated mind and distinguished literary and scientific acquirements, he possesses the still more valuable gift, sound common sense. When he embarked for China, we predicted that he was just the individual who could achieve the objects of his important mission, and the result has discover- ed that we did not form an erroneous estimate of the man. Prevention Berrer tHan Curs.—We observe that his Honor the Mayor, and his associates in the Corporation, have offered $200 reward for the ap- prehension of a couple of ruttians who committed a gross outrage in some one of the porter houses near the City Hotel. This is all very well, but it would be much better if those gentlemen were to give us an efficient system of police for the pre- vention of such.terrible outrages. We have been promised this too often and too tong by his Honor and his associates. They have promised us good government and clean streets—an efficient police— and a reduction of the taxes. But what is the fact? The streets are filthier, the taxes are in- creased, outrages more frequent and alarming, and the whole city government rapidly approaching a state of complete dilapidation. In the face of all this, his Honor and his associates most graciously console us with the assurance that they are putting a stop to the power of the Pope of Rome, and are correcting the projectsof Bishop Hughes. These patriotic acts and mighty deeds are occasionally relieved, we must in justice add, by speeches in public places, the publication of anecdotes of the Mayor, which remind us of the Caliph of Bagdad, and excruciating pieces of reform equal to the fae tening on the Fourth of July of tin pans to stakes around a fountain of dirty water, with big lumps of ice in it to make it cool and pleasant ! Mr. Tyier’s Enpoxsement or Tue Cavinet.— A good many remarks have been made in the news. payers about Mr. Tyler’s endorsement of the Cabj- net in the Message. Some suppose that he hes thus endorsed them over to Mr. Polk. But it is doubt- ed in @ great many quarters whether Mr. Polk will discount the note aud accept the security when he gets to Washington. However, we need not be much troubled on the subject. Mr. Polk can rea- dily satisfy himself for the money market is plenty, and the politicians are equally plenty but rather wneasy. Navication.—The Swallow, from New York, reached Aibany on Tuesday. The weather there was growing gooler, and the chances of another bont were doubtful. _ Progress of Fouaxaisu.—We have given, from time to time, for two or three years past, accounts of the labors of the distinguished aposties of French socialism in this country, and we now be- gin to receive reports of the results of their ef- forts. Most of our readers will recollect that about three years ago Poilosophey Brisbane and Greelvy conmenuced agort ot “duality” of physical and mental exertion tor the propagation of the docirines of Fourter, and their practical applica- on ia various quariers of the Union, particulariy in the westera part of this State and in Penneyiva- ula. “Associations” were formed in about thirty or thirty-five places, and the great ‘North Ameri- can Phalanx” was set a-going in full blast and vigor. Among the most prominent of these infant ‘‘as- sociations,” that situated in Pike county, Pennsyl- vania, was always represented in the Zribwune—the organ of the philosophic reformers—as being par- ticular'y promising. Horace Greeley publiched column after column of eloquent descriptions of this heavenly spot. The: unsurpassed salubrity of climate—the amazing fertility of the soil—the healthful virtue of its sparkling waters—the unri- valled purity of the air—were all descanted on with poetic enthusiasm in the Tyibwne. It was not porsible for flesh and blood to resistthe alluremenis of such an earthly paradise, and accordingly a con- siderable number of the disciples at once divided the ties which bound them to this every day world, and repaired to the Pike county “association.” Some eubscribed fifty, and some as much as two thousand dollars, to the “community” funds—and what with the chrystal water, and the cloudless sky, and the pure air, soft and sweet as the breath of a blushing girl, and the bright visionsof the fu- ture, the senses of the whole happy “‘community” were for a time wrapped in elysium. All wenton gloriously. Apostle Brisbane visited them periodically, and lectured on the dignity of labor, and the divinity of human nature. Mr. Philosopher Greeley communed also with them face to face, and wrote glowing accounts of his missions in the Tribune. But, alas! “ Twas happiness too exquisite to last.” Murmurs of discontent began to be heard. The air was good—the water was gaod—the climate was good—but, somehow or other, the soil was excessively stubborn. In fact, they found that they had, of a verity, established themselves upon arock. Their whole territory was literally paved with immense boulders, and was altogether admi- rably adapted for the practical study of elementary geological science, affurding abundant food to the mind, but niggardly refusing the smallest si nance to the body. Horace Greeley, indeed, would, on every visit, throw off his coat, and dig violently amongst the rocks, but only got a catarrh in return for his industrial enthusiasm. There be- gan to beafamine in the land. At first the disci- ples lived tolerably well. They had pork and po- tatoes for dinner, and for breakfast a beverage, by courtesy, called coffee, with buckwheat cakes and molasses. But the beverage gradually be- came more and more suspicious in its character, and finally disappeared altogether. The molasses also vanished. Next the roast pork ceased to send forth its grateful odors; and, at last, the un- happy community were forced te subsist on a po- tato per diem, being obliged at the same time to send a distance of four miles for a chew of tobac- co. Quite disgusted with this homa:pathic mode of existence, the cook of the phalanx made an unceremonious exit one morning, and is now in this city looking out for employment. Such has been the fate of the Pike county mag- nificent “* Phalanx,” and we fear that accounts of the same disastrous character will continue to pour in, Indeed, we have already heard that the ‘ Prai- ne Home” Community of Ohio has been disband- ed, and the * Association” on the banks of Skea- nateles Lake is also on the verge of annihilation. Wiat effect the return of Apostle Brisbane may have im restoring health to the decaying fortunes of “ Socialism,” we are unable to say. Poor Horace Greeley has been quite 11 for tne last few aswuts in consequence of u violent cold caught in the pur- gait of his agricultural experiments amongst the boulders of Pike county paradise. Robert Owen, the patriarch of ** Socialism,” 1s, however, in the field, and laboring with astonishing zeal and acti- vity. He ia at present in Washington, where he intends to deliver a course of lectures for the pur- pose of converting the government, from the Pre- sident down to the door-keepers of the Houses of Congress. He will then re-organize the sect in New York, and adopt measures for the spread of his doctrines in all regions—from the frozen Nerth to the uttermost bounds of China—encircling the th with the girdle of the New Jerusalem ism. The progress and results of this grand project are yet to be made known. We be- lieve, however, that one thing is quite certain, that the phalanxes are quite disgusted with the study of geology, and that living on air and water, however pure these invaluable stap'e articles of consumption may be, is ater all a very uncomfortable and small- potato mode of existence. Business Prosrscrs—Panic Over.—We are happy to announce to the unfortunate politicians throughout the country, who have been endeavor- ing to get up a panic in the money market and bu- sineas operations, that since the advent of the President's Message here and the interpretation put upon it by the Wall street financiers, there is every reason to believe now that the panic is all over, and business prospects are brighter than ever. It is supposed by those sagacious men who start- ed the panic immediately after the election, that the shade of peaceful policy assumed by Mr. Tyler and Mr. Calhoun in their documents to Congress, will be so popular that Messrs. Polk and Dallas, when they reach power, will be obliged te follow the same track, and be equally peaceful and con- ciliatory in their policy. It is also supposed, that in spite of thejulira nullifiers of South Carolina, Mr. Calhoun and his friends in the South will ae- cede with good grace to a reasonable modification of the tariff in a reasonable time—that they are not opposed to the Union, and never were, and will do every thing in their power to give us a peaceful ad- ministration of public affairs both now and hereat- ter. But above all, we have every reason to believe that Texas will be annexed during the present ses- sion of Congress, or within a year, without war with Mexico, or disturbance of our relations with England and France, for itis a very well establish: ed fact that Santa Anna would be very glad to get rid of the Texas question, by having a chance ot fingering a few millions of dollars. The business prospects, therefore, of the country have risen very much since the publication of the Message, and nothing can mar them unless the distinguished whigs in Congress should get up some excitement or some movement that may set the ultras of the North and South against each other, and produce some collision. Yet we hurd- ly believe that they would be able to effect that, and we trust that the whole country will now go to work economically and ‘industriously, making hay while the sun shines, and dismissing from their minds all such ridiculous ideas, as that we are going to have hard times in consequence of the election of Mr. Polk. The prospect is decided- ly the reverse. ArnivaL or Mr. Cusnine.—The arrival of this gentleman from China may be daily expected at Washington. He was to have left Macao on the 15th of August, in the brig-of-war Perry, for Ma- zatlan, coast of California, thence overland to Veta Cruz, thence by one of our government ves- sels to Pensacola, and thence to Washington, New Mat. Conveyance,—It is said that the Troy mail bag, or rather the letters due here on Monday, were found that afternoon floating down tue river. The lecters were scattered about, open- bd - those containing money rifled. How is Movement anp Pouicy or Mr. Poin: thing relative to the movem’ nié and policy of Pre- sident Polk are now looked for with deep interest. We, therefore, take from hia orgav, the Nash- ville Union, the following notice of some arrange- ments made to receive him at that place on the 2Binult.

According to this he intends to be very modetate ia his policy, by reducing the present tariff to a revenue point, with “incidental protection, and dropping the Bank and Distribution.” Such a policy, so far as the Tariff is concerned, will undoubtedly displease South Carolina, and it will, therefore, he interest- ing to see what course she will take in the matter. (From Nashville Union, Nov. 28.) The election of James K. Polk settles for tour years the questions as to a National Bank and the Distribution of the Land Revenue. These two subjects are therefore withdrawn, by the verdict of the people, from the next contest in our State ‘he sane vi it, however, dis- tinctly leaves the present tariff law an open question—the President elect witl go into office rere to submit this interesting subject to the wise deliberations of Congress. In the elections which are to take place in Tennessee next August, we look to the tariffasthe oll: absorbing and leading issue ween the two parties. Under this impression we shall endeavor to give to our friends some aid in discussing the practical bearing of the law now in existence upon the leading interests of our people. If we could hope to get the ear of the honest whig farmers and mechanics of the State before they are again embroiled in party strifes, we should calculate confidently on con- vincing them that they have been greatly benefitted by the result of the lete election. Mr. Clay stood doubly pledged to maintein the present tariff law with its existing} provisions unaltered and unmodified. Colonel Polk’s opposition to certain features in the law were well known ; and if any doubt ever existed on that subject, his late competitor, Gov. Jones, must have removed it by his active exertions in communicating the information to thecountry. Col. Polk is chosen President then with a distinct understanding that he is in favor of an economical expenditure ot the public money—ol raising the necessary amount for this purpose from the land revenve and the imgosition of tarift duties on foreign s—ot affurding all the protection to agriculture, com- merce aud ma..ufaciures, practicable iu the enactmont of a tariff for revenue, und of course, that he submits this in- teresting subject to the wise deliberations of the people’s representatives in Congress. It it shall be made apparent that the existing law is defective in distributing its bur- dens and benefits unequally and unjustly, then ail honest and patriotic men, whether whigs or democrats, will re joice that Col. Poli has been successful m the election. We shall probably know more of this by to-day’s mail. On the reception of Mr. Polk at Nashville, he will very likely make a speech. If he should do so, and it be reported in the Nashville papers, we shall issue it in an Extra Herald this after- noon. Porato PxivosopHy—SetrLement oF TH: Po- ato Quastion—The recent protracted discus- sions of the savans of the American Institute have, it is well known put all the kitchins in the city in am awful state of excitement, “Ine vuvks tave beea in a terrible stew. Waiters have lost their appetite, and chambermaids their curiosity, not being able to think of any thing but but this terri- ble potato question. The philosophers couldn’t ac- count for the disease ai But we are happy to announce that a new philosopher has recently ap- peared in the field, who has settled the question forever. This savan is no less a personage than Captain Bailey of the good ship Yorkshire, who hus just brought over some of the finest Irish and English ‘‘murphies” that ever smiled ona well- garnished table. They are all ‘foreigners”—not naturalized—nota bit of it. He is now selling them off at the wharf in great abundance. This settles the potato question at once, and we advise every body to hastento the dock and secure the interest- ing “foreigners”? as scon as possible, before they can possibly have achance to be contaminated. Captain Bailey is indeed a public benefactor, as well as a-philosopher. He has settled the potato- question' He has quieted the kitchins—re- stored equanimity to the cooks—and saved the waiters and chambermaids from utter distraction. In fact, by the introduction of these “ foreigners” he has done more than even Anson, who sailed round the world ! Pourtics 1n Boston.—Politics seem to be in a curious position in Boston, there being no less than five candidates for Mayor, and it is said that even a sixth party is onthe eve of spring up in that devoted village. Cola Water. Abolition, . These individuals will try the strength of their Tespective parties, and as the question of intro- ducing fresh water into that city is now the most interesting one, Shipley may get more votes than the abolition candidate may receive The most curious element, however, that will be brought into this election isnativeism. It has never before been tried in the “Old Bay State.” What will it now do? Sreamer Worcester. —We learn that the Wor- cester returned to this city on Wednesday alter- oon in order to take her place in the line on her regular day, and not because she wus in distress.— Owing to the severe gale on Tuesday night, she was compelled to “lay to” at Huntington for seve- ral hours; after which Captain Vanderbilt deemed it right to return to the city, to forward his passen- gers and mails by the Narragansett, and make goud hie trip. This he did, and left here yesterday afternoon for Norwich. The Worcester is a fine boat, and in excellent order, and will continue her trips regularly through the season. Taxts,—We would call attention to the tollow- ing synopsis of the law in relation to the collection of taxes:—The office of ward collectors having been abolished, no tax bills will be served as here- tofore. Persons having taxes to pay must pro cure their bills of, and make payment tothe Re- ceiver of Taxes, at his office, City Hall, Park. A deduction of interest, atthe rate of se- ven per cent, will be made on all taxes paid previ- ous to the Ist of January, calculated from the day of payment to the 1st February, and an addition of one per cent will be made on all taxes remaining uapaid on the 15th February, and two per cent on the 15th March. Drownep.—Wm. Brown, one of the hands on board the pilot boat, New York, was knocked overboard by the main boom, while in the act of boarding the ship Utica. The night being very dark,the yawl was sent to his aid, but, when with- in one length of him, he sunk and was drowned. Basan ror tus Poor.—Why do the bakers con- tinue to make emall loaves at high prices, when four isso cheap? Four pound end four ounce lonves soli for 124 cents, at least twenty por cent too high, Where are the oheap bakers? ne, Aa 4 ry | Important ABoLITION Movaments.-=The repeal of the 25.h rule, on the motion of Mr: Adams, in the House of Representatives, has created a great deal of astonishment in certain portions of the newspaper press, but we do not think there is any reason to be surprised at such a result. Nothing else was to be expected from the recent election. And yet Mr. Adams himeelf will be very much disappointed by the repeal of that rule, because he ‘ntended to make it a very considerable subject of agitation during the session. He has succeeded, during the last eight years, by his addresses in Congress on this subject, to create a spirit of agi- tation which hes produced a party that contributed materially to defeat Mr. Clay. This ought to sa- tisfy the venerable sage of Quincy. Mr. Clay, by his bad policy in 1828, defeated Mr. Adame, and Mr. Adams has now fairly returned the compli- ment. They are thus quite out of each other's debt. But although we don’t expect to see the abolition question agitated in Congress during the preeent session—and do not see how it can be introduced —yet we rather think that there will be a gvod deal of agitation on the tubject out of doors in the Northern States, as well as in the Southern. Inthis State the abolitionists of Utica have issued a ma- nifesto to the “fifteen thousand patricts,” as they call them, declaring war ageinst both the old par- ties. On Wednesday of this week the abolition convention convened at Albany, and it was.then agreed to keep up the agitation, which we have no doubt will be done eflectually. They proclaim war, also, itis proper to notice, against the “‘na- tives,” who have manifested themselves in some of the large citics; aad declare that the reason New York went against Mr. Clay, was that when the whiga were in power they refused to let ten thou- sand colored men in this State deposite their votes at the polls, unless they owned a certain amount of property. This isa very curious reason, to be sure; but such asit is, they give it. It 18 thus pretty evident, that though the repeal of the 25th rule may put a stop to abolition agita- tion in the interior of the houses of Congress, it has only transferred the excitement tothe churches, the halls and public places in the free States. And the abolitionists are evidently getting more and more violent throughout these States. So al- so are the ultras of South Carolina—both aiming at the same object—the destruction of the Union. But they will neutralise each other. There is lit- tle to dread from either Both appear to have reached the acme of their folly, extravagance and power of mischief. InavauraTion Batu at WasuinaTon. — Great preparations are making at Washington to get up a splendid ‘‘ inauguration ball,” in celebration of Mr Polk’s advent. Various plans are proposed for giving eclat to it, but the beatthat we have heard is that suggested by Coleman of the ‘‘ National Ho- tel.” He proposes that the quadrangle of that edi- fice be covered in with a glassroof, a spring floor erected, and the whole interior brilliantly illumina- ted by gas. This would indeed make one of the most magnificent ballrooms in the world. It would form a sort of amphitheatre, with three or four balconies running all round, from which spec- tators could look down on the gay throng beneath This suggestion is worthy of the immortal Cole- man, and we trust it will be adopted by the beaw monde politicians who are getting up the affiir. The “National” is filling uprapidly. Mr. Polk has taken a suite of apartments, consisting ot bed- room, parlor, reception-room and other rooms, whieh he will occupy previous to his entering the White House. So the ‘* National” will be the head-quarters of politics, intriguing, office seeking, and every thing else until the coming 4th of March. Prison Disciriins.—A batch of mistaken philan- thropists propose to hold a meeting to-night at the Apollo, for the reform of prison discipline. This is, indeed, beginning at the wrong end with re- form. There are thousands of poor wretches driven to crime and vice because they cannot get vread toeat. Let the naked be clothed, and the huogry fed, and those willing to work be supplied with labor, and we have little need for prison re- formers. The idea of a parcel of egotists, who wish to parade themselves in print, trying tosecure to State prison convicts a respectable place in s0- ciety when they come out, is about as feasible as the project of placing the black man on an equality with the white. It is utterly preposterous and im- practicable. Granp Minitary Batu.—We perceive by a card in another column, that the fine new military com- the “Scottish Guard,” give a ball at Niblo’s saloon on Monday evening next. It will be, it is said, one of the most brilliant military balls ever given in this city. The preparations are on a scale of unusual magnificence. All the field officers in the city, and the officers of their stafis have been invited, with the officers of the various uniformed companies. Many of the loveliest wo- men in the city are to be there, and altogether we are quite satisfied that the arrangements of Cap- tain Castle and his associate officers will render thisone of the most elegant and brilliant affairs imaginable. TraveLiers TO New Haven.—We are requested to refer our readers to a card in the advertising columns relative to the conduct of the owners of the steamer Belle towards her passengers. It seems that they were not handsomely treated, to say the least of it, and the affair should be investigated by all those who intend travelling between New Ha- ven and New York. Rerort or tr Secretary or War.—We re- ceived this document last night. It is a good busi- ness document, presenting a sensible, plain and practical view of the condition and operations of the army and of the affairs of the Department. It ig too long for insertion in our columnsthis morning. Concert.—This evening is set apart for Mrs. Ferguson’s concert atthe Minerva Rooms, (Broad way,) andfor which many first rate artists are engaged. Mrs. F. has strong claims upcn a sym- athisi blic, (especially from “the sons of auld ecki ind asthe charge of admission is only twenty-fivecents, it isto be hoped the fair bene- ficiare willbe rewarded by a crowded room. Mr. Bristow’s Writirg Academy, in Broad- way, No. 156, who has lately returned from Lon- don and Boston, is the very place for the ladies— our young merchants, their clerks, and all others who write an uneightly and indifferent hand, at once to their writing and acquire abeauti- ful, free, jonable, off-hand style in twelve les- sons. Hi tem of writing and teaching, is too well known in New York to need commendation. Mr. B’s establishment and practice is quite exten- sive, he having two brothers teaching, one in London, the other in J.verpool. Personal Movements, The Philadelphia papers say that President Tyler will immediately renomitate Judge King to the vacancy on the Bench of the Supreme Court, created by the death of Juage Baldwin. It is svid that avery streng memorial ia favor of the confirmation uf the appointment, has al ready been sent on to the Senate by the Pailadelphia Bar. It ia rumored that John Van Buren, Esq, son of resident, will be the next Attorney General of of New York. Bishop Elliott, of Georgia, and the Hon. Virgilius Del- phini Parris, were at the Astor House yesterday. The Hon. R J. Walker has been received with the greatest enthusiasm throughout the northern part of Mia siasippi. The Hon. George Summers, of Virginia, is favorably epoken of as the successor to Mr. Rives, in the United States Senate. Mr. B. F. Butler si ge of as likely to succeed Mr. Everett, at the Eng! court.

General Pandes has “‘pronounced’ against the Government, but has not been followed as far as we can learn, by any other department, and as Gen.

The exports for 41 and °42 were $101,362, and tor ’43 and °44, ypemays “ “From Calabozo, accounts have been received, that Juan Apente, the famoushighwayman in the time of the Spanish rule, has perished by the hands of the authorities, who were pursuing him. “From the north part of Margarite, ramours (it is said somewhat exaggerated) hed been circulated, of a popular movement, which had for its object the expulsion from the Island of all the foreigners who have disseminated anarchical doctrines, up to the 7h ultimo.

It is thought, moreover, that the tranquillity of the place will not be speedily restored. “From Rio Chico, we learn that the judge of the elections at Guaribe had been assassinated by a party of his political opponents during the late election.”—Phila.

Police OUffice—On Wednesday night about two o’clock, Mr. Stewart, who keeps a drug store on the corner of Mott and Peil streets, heard a noise in his store as if some person was making a forcible entrance, ond not being particularly anxious to lose anything, he got up and went out, and after procuring the assist. ance of some watchmen repaired to the store and entered it without the use of a key, as the door was partially open. On searching the premises they found William Dixon, a person not altogether unknown in our Criminal Courts, secreted under the counter. He was taken to the watch house and to-day fully committed for trial. A Nove. Casz —A most curious and novel case has recently come up, but we are unable to furnish the par- ticulars at present.

There was a further improvement to-day in stocks,both in quotations and extent of transactions. Stonington im- proved }; East Boston, }; Harlem, 3; Canton, 4; Farmers’ 14; Iinois, 1; Pennsylvania 8's, 3; Ohio 6's, j; Eric Rail- road, }; Reading Railroad fell off}; while Nerwich and Worcester, Long Island and Morris Canal, closed firm st yesterday’s prices. The improvement in prices anticipated immediatsly after the reception of the President's mes- sage, has, in a measure, been realized, but the prevailing feeling is so fivorable, that we look for a further advance in quotations. It is supposed the amount to be paid by government on the 1st proximo will seek investment in other securities, particularly in sound State stocks, and that the demand created by this movement wili hay very favorable in- fluence on stocks generally in this market. The panic is about over, and operators have before them an open, clear field. There does not appeur, at present, in the political horizon, the slightest obstruction to a free and fearless extension of business ef all kinds. The attempts of speculators in fancy stocks of all descriptions, but par- ticularly in the stock of delinquent States, have proved abortive and harmless. Sometime previous to the recent political contest, it of operators went extensively into the purchase of, stocks of the delinquent Western States, in anticipation of the election of Mr. Clay and the distri- bution of public land proceeds among the States. The contest having been decided contrary to their expecta- tions, it hecame necessary for this clique of speculators to get up a panic in the stock market to enable them to make up, if possible, some of their losses by operations in other fancies. The organs of these cliques predicted rapid and complete ruin to the country, in consequence of the elec- tionof Mr. Polk, and strived, by every possible means, to destroy confidence and break down the market. The leading whig papers in this city, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore, devoted their columns to this object, but their efforts proved fruitless, and tho operations of trade and commerce continued uninterrupted, and prosperity con- tinues to smile upon us. The second movement made to advance the markct price of these stocks waa made a few days since, through the columns of the Chrivier & En quirer, in advecating the annexation of Texas, provided the public lands cf that government wero distributed among the States of this Union. We sce in this move- ment a fair sample of the consistency of these strong party papers; and these rapid revolutions are perfectly consistent with the character of these journels—in fact, were they to adopt a diflerent course it would be the ex- treme of inconsistency. Not having succeeced in electing the presidential candidate favorable to the distribution of our own public lands, these organs seriously advocate the annexation of Texas solely upon the condition that the public lands are dis- tributed among the States. Steck jobbing ie at the foun- dation of all these things, and whatever measures will advance the interests of a clique of speculators, find ad- vooates in these party journals, and are carried out with the feeling of party politicians. To those who take the principles of the party leaders as their own, these move- ments may, seem very strange, but when the motive Ts exposed—when the same influence is brought to beer, that worked such a revolution in the course of the Cou rier and Enquirer, on the United States Bank question, the cause is at once seen, andthe effect gone. Until the Presidential question was disposed of the whig organs were very loud in theic condemnation of annexation, but now that there iv no political capital to lose, and no elec tions at hand, they are atthe disposal of a set of specu!a- latora, who would sacrifice every important interest of the country, for a probability of filling their own pock- ets from the spoils ‘The influence of these journals is fortunately very limited, and does not extend beyond thor immediate ueighborhood, ‘The revonue of the goncral government i # aubjegt] of
