ly taken place:—Mr. Grund to be the United States Consul at Antwerp, Germany. : The official announcement that the provincial States of the Rhine will assemble this year at Coblentz(as stated in a recent communication) has caused a great sensation, and, of course, much disappoiatment-at ehforr, where the session had hitherto been held. The Prussian government no dourt took umbrage at the demonstrations which were made last year ia the latter city, and henge their determination respecting the Provin- cial States, The Elbe Navigation Treaty has been recently published at D esden. It is to come into opera- tion early in 1845, and is to continue until the ex- piration of five years, when a third committee will convoked to take it into consideration. B: virtue of the treaty he entire Elb- toll, from Mel- nick to Hamburgh, will be for the future only one thaler, three silberg > and eleven pfenaigen for every gross of goods. The thaler is to be reckoned at 360 pfennigen. The above sum is the Maximum ; it may for certain goods be reduced one-fourth, one-hfth, one-tenth, one-twentieth, and even oue-tortieth, The respective portions of the toll to be paid to the various states on the Elbe are fixed ES the treaty. The entire extent of the river between the two boundaries first named (Melnick and Hamburgh) is divided into nineteen stations, where the determined portion of the tax will be demanded. Russia, : ‘ Sr. Perexesurcn, Nov. 26—By an imperial ukase directed to the Ministervf Finance, the Em; peror, considering the expenses necessary in 1845 ‘or the coostruciion of the railroad between St. Petersburg: and Moscow, orders that a loan of twelve mi lions of silver roubles shall be opened abrond, on the same basis as that of the 31 Four per Cen’. Loan. i The inscriptions of 500 silver roubles each are to be divided sn 184 equai sections, and to bear inter- est from the 13: of August this year. The repay- ment commences in August, 1846. The capital des. tioed for this purpose is, in the year 1816, 125,000 silver rubles; acd ia the following year 300,000 sil- ver roubles, or 24 percent. of the homipal capital of the loan. The realization of the loan is entrust- ed to Baron Streglitz in St. Petersburgh. Markets. Lowpow Mower Marxxr, Dec 11.—-The energetic ef- forts mekiog by the Bunk of England directors their business is appearing in many various they been thrown clear ot all responsibility for the administration of the general currency of \he country, by the Bank Charter Act of last session. Amongst other plans forextending their connection is the iseue of pre- missory notes inthe form of billsof exchange payable at 6) days’ sight, which are ntly intended for colonial and foreign ‘circulation, The use to which such bilie can be turned to advantage will be ob- vious in all s where the ratea of ex- change are low. and where, in cons quence, from the high character of the paper, it will bear a pio tional premium. For example, it is presumed that They may often be employed to advantage at our Indian presidencies in the above manner, wh:ch will bring them into competition with the local banka and ether capitalists tor remittance to Europe. They will in many respects have an advantage over the local banks established by charter in India, the whole of them being restricted from drawing on England in a direct manner. This restriction posed by the East India Company, in order that their control over the rates of exchange should not be interfered with. but it is pre- sumed that the power cf the company will not extend ever Bank of E jd paper in the form alluded to.— ‘These notes may be made to answer all the purposes of letters of credit, without being exposed to the risk that is run by issuing bank notes payable on demand. Being drawn in sets of three, they must have the regular attestations by endorsement, &c.,and not being pay- avle aptil sixty days after sight, they will afford ample opportunity. for inquiry, where anything is wrong, before the money is obtained. They will, conse juently, be in requisition for travellers, who will find no fficuity in converting them,wherever tuere are banking establishments, in any part of the world. ‘Ameeting of the proprietors of the Pacific Steam Na- vigation Company was held this morning at the office of the company, Austinfriars. The acting directors pro- duced a report, which was received but not approved, a committee being appointed by a large majority to exa- mine the books and accounts. The meeting was then adjourned untiPthe 16th of January, by which time, it ‘was expected, the committee will have completed theit investigation Much surprise seemed to be felt at Mr. Brown (whose insolvency was made public a consider- able time ogo,) taking the chair upon the present occi- sien. We defer our remarks upon the report of the direc tors, and other circumstances connected with this com- pany, until the committee conclude their enquiry.

The bullion and coin both departments of the Bank was £14,558,336, against £14,365,590, being an in crease of £192,746. ‘The increase in the bullion of the Bank, it will be seen, continues progressive for the four preceding weeks. This isa clear evidence, as far as it gees, of the com. mercial balance being in our favor with the Continent of Europe; butit is highly probable, under existing cir- cumstances, that the exchanges may be acted upon by stock operations, which may change the current, irre- apective of trade. It is proper, however, to notice that importers have generally acted with ‘great caution, ilst the export trade has been stimulated to the ut- most. The only other point worthy of notice is the considera- ble incr ase in the amount of the private deposits. This indicates anything but a scarcity of money, ough, exorpt in periods of pressure, it is the usual occurreace at the present period of the year. The reason of this is obvious. Toe merchants are rather reluctant to enter up un lertakings from about tne beginning ot No- vember until after the turn of the year so that all monevs they receive are held over in abeyance, but kept in readi ness at toeir bankers ; and the result, as a matter of course is an increase of the deposits of the Bank both from their own customers directly, antl indirectly from the other London backers, who keép an account with them. The state of the market shows that money is easy, the rate of discount with the large houses in Lombard street being a shade under the terms of the Bank of England for first lass paper. Lownom Conn Excnanar, Dec. 11.—The frost continues, and the weather is most severe. The prevalence of easter- ly winds bas caused a short supply of all grain to this p ac market, where we had only a slender attendance of millers, and so little business passing in wheat. Pri: ces may be considered nominally as on onda. No additional arrivals of oats have come to hand since last market day ; still no advance could be realised, and the demand does not improve, buyers still keeping on the reserve, and merely taking retail parcels, in expectation of doing better when more liberal supplies appear. ‘There was a general absence of demand for other grain, and no alteration in value can be reported. Liverroon Corrox Manxer, Monday, Dec. 9.—During the early part ofthe last week, the murket continued much depressed holders evincing an increased desire to sell, and in many instances accepting } to $4 per 1b lower rates; but since the departure of th» Boston packet on Wednesday, there has been an improve! demand, and Amecican descriptions baing less freely offered, prices have in some measure recovered the above decline, and are now quoted about $1 below those of Friday last.

Mancnester Trape, Dec. 7.—As usual at this season of tae year, trede, both wath the country houses and ship pers, is unapimated, but still manufacturers are so bare of stock, and many have still orders on hand, that Cloth ofall descriptions maintains the price of last week ; but if any change must be noticed, it is in favor of the buyer. {no our opinion no material alteration will take place this month in the price of goods ; but it would not surprise us if, after Christmas, the rates of goods sheuld rangeyrather higher then lower The news irom the east will cause no change in prices here.

Leeps Trape, Dec 7.—The markets at both cleth halla this week have been very dull. season having now so far advanced, and the winter having hitherto been so mild, has had the effect, to a great extent, of preventing the sale of winter goods. The stocks are, however, by no means heavy in the hands of the manufacturers, and prices are steady. In the warehouses business has been correspondingly duil : but few buyers have been in the market aad trere is little doing except to order. The foreign houses are very quiet Buaprorp Trape, Dec 5—There is no alteration in the demand for combing Wools, and deep grown hogs and wethers are in fair request to meet the imn.ediate wa 4 the consumer, and as such kinds are not abandont, the difficulty cf ge'ting a supply from the growers, at prices to meet the buyer. here, is not abated. The quantity coming to market is barely equal to the consumption Hence comes the conflict as ts whether an increased price can be realized, which the spinners now so strongly re sit. The exceedingly depressed state of the Yaru trade offers no ‘encouragement to the spinners in any way to ang nent their production, which 1s now very materially curtailed. A though Yarns are somewhat readier sale, and a general feeling pre jing that they »ave seen their lowest point, yet there 0 dispoaition on te part of the buyers. either for home consumption or export. to buy except at prices most ruinous tothe producer.

Hatirax Tape, Dec. 7.—There is an improvement in the trade of this town in most of its departments. Wool has slightly advanced en account of short supply. Baanscey Linen Trape.—The linen trade continues to improve, and the prospect for the winter is very cheering, as the general trade of the town is better than it hes been for a number of years.

We give thia morning to our regular city sub- scribers a supplement.to the New York Herald, con- taining advertisements, d&c., which the gieat press of important matter excludes from the columns of this paper. 7 * Tue Enouisn News.—The news from England, which we received yesterday by the “Garrick,” inanticipation of every other paper in this city, and issued in an extra, is decidedly interesting, not only to the merchant, but to the genera! and phi- losophical reader. We allude particularly to the intelligence relative to the new excitement in rela- tion to the disturbance inthe Episcopal Church of England—otherwise called the Puseyite contro- versy. It appears that the whole daily press of London, is now engaged in the discussion of this subject, and it would appear that the new doc trines, or innovations, as they are called by the Ox- ford diviner, now occupy the public mind to the exclusion of every thing else. A famous pastors] letter, recently issued by the Bishop of Exeter, ap- pears to have been the chief generating cause of this new excitement, that is spreading all over England with increasing intensity as it pro- ceeds, and developing ituelf in a variety of amusing and fanciful forms, and entirely pushing aside the usual questions of the day in relation to politics— Peel—anti-corn law agitation—and all the other orthodox subjects of popular discussion, clamor and disturbance. Our extracts from the English journals, will put our readersin possession of much enrious and interesting intelligence on this subject. Weare very happy to opserve that an improvement has taken place in the cotton market in Liverpool, which, if it be followed up by similar improvement hereafter, may have the effect of averting the dan- gers and calamities which began to be apprehend- ed by the commercial interest here. The news on this point is extremely gratifying, and accordingly we cireulated it at an early hour all over the city, and sent it to our correspondents to the remotest boundaries of the republic by the afternoon mails of yesterday. The next news will be extremely interesting, as developing still further the progress of the advance in the cotton market, and particularly the progress of the Puseyite excitement in England, which now derives great interest here from the peculiarcondi- tiom of the Episcopal Church in this country. Crisis of the Annexation Question—Fermen- tation In the Democracy. A very important crisis is now rapidly coming to maturity in the democratic party, on the annexa- tion question. We have already given some glimpses of the position of this question, and of the symptoms attending the present fermentation in the party, concurrently taking place at Washington, Albany, New York, and throughout the country. At Washington the excitement amongst the demo- cracv on this subject is most intense, and has been increased by another speech from Mr. Brinkerhoff, an Ohio member of the House, in opposition to the plans of Mr. Calhoun. In Albany,the same fermen tative process amongst the cliqguesin the legislature, and the office-holders, is also rapidly increasing. But the most curious developments and symp- toms in this excitement in the democracy—an ex citement which may lead to an entire re-organiza- tion of the elements of that party, and to results of the most important character upon the country it self—exist in this city. From the last election up to the present time, the excitement ia relation tothis absorbing question has existed amongpt pri- vate cliques and circles of the democracy, but Row it begins to come out into the open day, and we ae- cordingly see that no less than three different meet~ ings of the democracy are called at different periods, in relation to the immediate annexation of Texas The new Democratic Gengal Committee, for the present year, of which Alderman Purdy is Chairman, have already passed resolutions in favor of the re-annexation of Texas as an abstrac: question, without going into details, and also in wor of a modification of the tariff. Under the sanction of this committee, a meeting has been called at Tammany Hall, on Friday evening, the 24th of January. Another meeting is also called by the Collector of the Port, and other Democrats, on Friday, the 17th inst.; and the third meeting takes place to-morrow evening, at St. John’s Hall, which ia called by the well-known and famous Empire Club. We have no doubt that all these meetings will be large, and that a vast amount of public feeling will be generated and thrown abroad upon the world. Such is the situation of this interesting and lead- ing question of the day—the annexation of Texas. As the first meetings on this all- important subject, since the last election, will be held in this city, three in number, one in each week, we shall report them all seriatim, and with the greatest fullness and accuracy, with all the bye- play and excitement. The movements of Congress will depend upon these meetings, and other exhibi- tiens of fecling occurring in Albany and elsewhere. Tue Artstocracy er New Yorx.—We are hep- py to learn that Mr. Moses Y. Beach—the publisher of that beautiful brochure called the “Book of Wealth,” or Peerage of Manhattan Island—will soon be able to issue a new edition, amended and free from error. This little pamphlet,so necessary in the fashionable and financial circles, is probably written by Mr. Noah, who is now one of the litera- ty and political associates of Mr. Beach, engaged with him in the work of enlightening the world, which in some particulars they do in a very suc- cessful degree. It is sold for twenty-five cente, and is issued on a much cheaper system than Beach’s bank paper. We trust the sale will be immense,as the preceeds are to be devoted to the creation ofa fand for the redemption of the small notes of the Plainfield Bank. We advise holders of these notes, however, not to wait for the completion of this fund, but to proceed at bnce and get the Plainfield bills exchanged. Mr. Noan’s Pampuver on THe Jews.—The Har- pers have published this pamphlet in a really beau- tifal style, and with an elegant map of the Holy Land. It will be remembered that we published a synopsis of this “ Discourse” on the morning after it was delivered, but on looking over this correct- ed, amended and enlarged edition of it by the author, we perceive that it is far superior to the original speech, and may now be considered as one of the most ingenious, popular and conclusi arguments against the authenticity of the Chri religion that has been published of late years. Ii is a sort of historical argument, Jaboring to show that Christianity is altogether a delusion, and is much more popular and applicable to its purposee than all the refined sophistries of Spinoza, Hume, or Tom Paine. Tue Onperponx Case.— We are obliged to post- pone till to-morrow the contiauation of our review of this case, ‘Tho articles already given have been immensely popular, and our views almost uni- versally adopted. This Onderdonk case is going to produce a wonderful excitement inthis country; greater than anything that has yet taken place in the religious world in this country. The Puseyite excitement on the other side of the water will soon be seen spreading here with great fury. Bishop On- derdonk is, we perceive, about to publish a “‘State- ment” in self-defence, which will, no doubt, com- mand a great deal of attention. Haxrsut Fisuing.—A fleet of twenty sail were teady at Gloucester, at the last accounts, to pro ceed to George’s Bank. The steamship Acadia from Boston, arrived ai Halifax onthe 8d inst. Weartner in New Orteans.—The weather in New Orleans is now more like June than January. YORK HERALD. Native Americanism IN THE East ceive that the effort to start a ‘“‘ Native A partyin Boston is likely to be a dead failure. It seemsto go backward of late. Mr. Webeter has come out distinctly against the organization of the ew party in New England, and avers that the whig party is quite sufficient for all the purposes ¢f those reforms in relation to foreigners and natural- ization, so much talked of by the “natives” We believe that Mr. Webster is right. The whig party has always been more or Jess in favor of rvgistry laws and such reforms end restrictions upon the naturalization laws as might ensure the purity of the ballot-box ; and we are very much disposed to think that the whig party is right on those points Every candid man must admit that there has been a great deal of looseness in the administration o{ the naturalization laws; though we do not believe that they have been violated to the extent pretended by seme of the demagogues. Still we should be very happy to see a reform take place to a mode rate extent—such as Mr. Webster and the whig party will no doubt advocate. * It is probable that the “ natives” will disappear altogether after the Spring Election in this city. la Albany, the attempt to organize a party on these principles has been recently made, but with smal! success. If the whigs would come out in this city with a common sense declaration on the subject ci the naturalization laws, and a distinct pledge to give us city reform, they would utterly annihilate the “ natives,” and also beat the locofocos, giving us, perhaps, for one year, something like a good city government in New York. As was expected, a very considerable audience assembled last night at the lecture room of the So ciety Library, te enjoy the developments made by Dr. Strong in Medical Magnetism. At the hour appointed for the proceedings, the house was nearly fall, and all seemed bent upon a close scrutiny of the performance- A good number of ladies were in attendance, and all ranks and conditions and professions of life were fairly represented. Dr. Strong came torward to aridreas the meeting, and all was protound silence. His demeanor war modest and unpretending, and totally divested ot all airs, as his address was of pretence and assump- tion. He first entorced upon the attention of his listeners that he came not there to excite a sense of the marvelous, nor satiety idle, vulgar curiosity; but to state what had come under the observatior of his senses—what he had seen and experienced Dr. 8. reviewed the condition of the medical prac tice at the present time-the relative position of the physician and the patient—the liability te abuse of the healing art, owing to the vast powe: of the faculty on one hand, and the igaoranc: of the patient onthe other.

The main scenes and incidents of the piece occur in the various cham- bers of this establishment, and the language, man- ners, and conduct of the parties are, we should imagine, a pretty fair transcript from nature, al- though somewhat over colored in the more revoli- ing particulars, The whole affair hgs not a decent sentiment or a respectably constructed sentence to redeem its groasness; and we know not which, in its Way, deserves the severest condemnation—the morals, the merits, or the manners of this disgust- ing mass of filth. This, we believe, is the first time in New York that the scenes and incidents of the brothel hav. been presented upon the stage, and we have been waiting some time to see if our pious and bible- loving authorities would not become conscious 0: the existence of this nuisance and take means tu remove it. Seesing, however, that they are other- wise employed, we take the liberty of pointing their attention to it, and of calling upon the Mayor to prohibit the representation of this piece, eithe: by having it withdrawn from the stage, or by sup- pressing the theatre altogether.

Notes taken in Mexico, by Saint Paul, (wor THE 4PostLx.) The most prominent individual in Mexico un- doubtedly is “Santa Anna.” The life of this per- son consists of excesses in every degree, both in his military capacity, and in his civil. He is the man who placed old Bustamente in the Presiden- tial Chair, and immediately alterwards created a feeling against him, and succeeded, after some sharp fighting, in displacing that honest old man, and took possesion of the chair, which he has re- tained until this day. From the time Santa Anna was declared President unti! now, he has been the most prominent character in Mexico; assuming dictatorial power, and pushing his t ‘ools forward to screen his abominations; by reason of which, he secures to himself a tolerable appearance to persons abroad. No one ever governed Mexice before who as given greater dissatisfaction to the foreign and mative merchants. His dealings with them. may seem curious, but here they are:— A friend of mine built a large cotton manufactory near to the city of Mexico. He and some others, who also and his ministers, by large bribes, t manufactories, induced the President 0 prohibit cer- tain descriptions of cotton goods coming into the country, by which they anticipated making large sums of money ; but no sooner were the manufac- 8 at work, and all regularly esta! nta Anna and his ministers were continually hed, than 3 sending drafts for large and small amounts on those parties, which they were obliged to accept and vay—if not, or if they demurred, very significant hints were given that their special privileges would be abolished ; this had the desired money was accordingly paid Of th abuses my friend continually compla: effect, and the ese and similar ‘ined, and about monthly experienced.

However, business is not done without riek, in the government every now and this kind of which consists then stopping payment of such custom heuse drafts; when this takes place,the merchant may whistle for hismoney; and at this moment every house in Mexico has more or Jess of these drafts, which are u purchased seless.

What is very extraordin about this, is the fact of this tax being only partially levied, as know several houses who ha proportions when the ‘ Eugenia” not paid their ? sailed (12th December, 1844.
