NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Monday, February 24, 1545, Crisis In the Texas Question—Its Probable Passage—Its Consequences, According to all accounts trom Washingtun, the anuexation question in some shape will be decided Senate in the affirmative in afew days.— by the 4 ewspapers aud correspondents of both par- passage. We have our doubts, however, as to the accuracy of these predictions, and believe rather that some of the statements are made by the ene- mies of the measure, with a view of preventing such @ result takingplace. Until these predictions become facts, we shall consider it as a doubtful question at best. Yet, whether it pass this week or next week— this year ornext year—it seems to be a matter of mere time, for pass it certainly will, in some shape in Congress, either now or hereafter. If it should pass ina few days, that result would bring up a train of consequences in connection with our for- eign relations, that would probably produce a new and original crisis in the affairs of Europe, of Ame- rica, and, perhaps, of the whole civilized world. The same popular feelings, which, in this country, will have carried the annexation of Texas, will also occupy Oregon, and go ahead, in all general movements, so far as this continent is concerned. This policy will bring us into immediate collision with the policy of England, andthe mutterings from that quarter, which for the last two months have been so audible, will become louder and stronger, until a collision, not only of opinion, but of physical force, must take place, that will be the commencement of anew era in the progress of the world. We are on the threshhold of new and important movements among civilized nations, which, at all events, may embrace wide interests before its re- sults settle down. Every thing will depend on the action of the present Senate, for that is the enter. ing wedge to all that may tollow—the first step in a new series of mighty events. For a development of our views on this matter we must wait until the action of Congress is fully ascertained, : InsinvaTions aGainsT Pazsipent Tyter.—The Sw insinuates that John Tyler, President of the United States, has been doing a great business in speculation during the last four years. This insinu- ation refers to speculations in offices—specuiations in coal-mines in Maryland—and speculations in various other matters and things by which money can be made. The same journal intimated some days ago that Mr. Tyler had $200,000 out of his office since he became President—an assertion that was very promptly denied by John Tyler, Jr. We don’t see, however, that John Tyler is accused of having speculated in Plainfield Bank stock—or o; having speculated in Lehigh Bank stock—or of having speculated in Ulster Bank stock—orof hav- ing speculated in Malone Bauk stock—or of having speculated in Jacksonville Bank stock. Nordowe perceive that ‘honest John Tyler” has been charg- ed with shaving poor mechanics every Sa- turday night by discounting notes for them at an exorbitant rate of interest. We do not perceive that John Tyler has been charged with speculating Tue War Upon Tus New York Pitots.—We ‘Bive in another column a very temperate statement of factsin reply to the gross and unjust allegations against that meritorious class of men—the pilots of this por!. The persevering malignity with which these pilots have been abused and calumniated in some quarters is quite unaccountable. That patties who are interested in endeavoring to rob them of their rights should misrepresent and malign then | 18 easily explained, but that any portion of the com- concur ia expressing the opinion of its certain | mercial community of this city—that any portion of that class to whose intereststhe New York pi- lots are daily devoting their exertions, and for the safety of whose property they are constantly peril ling their lives, is almost incredible. We may yet, however, have occasionto make an exposé ef the facts connected with the intrigues and motives of the clique opposed to the pilots, and which has been 80 busy in misrepresenting them through the Wal! street papers. The old effort to involve the pilots of this port ir the disasters of 1837, has been of late actively re- newed, and the old cry of ** monopoly,” and ‘‘ne- gligence” is again heard. Nothing could more conclusively show the straits to which those are driven who seek to perpetrate gross injustice on the pilots. There was some shadow of excuse for the charge of negligence against the pilots at the time of the wreck of the Bristol and Mexico, for the public mind was in a terrible state of excite- ment, but now, years after those events, and when the pilots have again and again been tri- umphantly vindicated from the serious charges then preferred against them, the revival of the slanders only evinces the desperate extremity to which their enemies are reduced. The law of Congress, passed in 1837, has long since been shown to have been entirely uncalled for, and its constitutionality is accordingly questionable. It is, however, certain, that its ope. ration has been unequal and unjust, interfering with the rights of our pilots, and its repeal is, there- fore, demanded by every principle of equity. But if it is to continue in force, in the name cf every thing that is just, let the restrictions and responsi- bilities which the laws of the State impose, be so far removed that our pilots may be able to meet competitors on terms approaching to equality. The report of the committee of the Legislature, to whom the memoria) of the pilo's was referred, is decidedly favorable to the memorialists, and recommends the adoption of resolutions declariug the law of Congress of 1837, ‘‘of questionable con stitutionality, unequal in its operations, unneces- sary and unjust.” This day the subject comes up in the Senate, and we trust that the just and en- lightened action of the Legislature of the State, will stamp with merited reprobation, the despica- ble efforts of the cligue opposed to the pilots, and that the rights of this eminently meritorious class of men will be completely vindicated and secured against the slightest invasion from any quarter Their cause is that of justice, and it must prevail County Covrr—Justice Hasxert.—This Court will meet on to-morrow evening, when the trial of the Justice will be resumed. The testimony hither- to introduced has been pretty strong ; but we can perceive a good deal of party spirit mixed up in it. The “natives,” in particular, look forward to the result with much interest, as they consider the in oil or any thing else of that description. We do not perceive that he has been charged with set- ting up a separate and subordinate post office, and picking upsixpences from the poor Irish people, who paid the money under the impression that they were sending letters to Ireland by the steamer, wher, in fact, he packed them on board some tran- sient merchant vessel. None of these charges are preferred against Mr. Tyler, and of course we don’: suppose that there is any foundation in them. Brrps or Prey at WasnineTon.—The party edi- tors are flocking to Washington in droves. Amongst others, we perceive that M. M. Noah has got there. All these editors are after office, and form another division of that hungry army of discontents which already surround Mr. Polk. ‘‘ Old Hickory” was subjected to a similar visitation on his first advent in Washington. No fewer than two-and-twenty party editors from all parts of the country assem- bled there—all after office—and Noah also amongst them, he leading the left wing, and Isaac Hill, ot New Hampshire, the right. They met, and as Noah himself relates, deliberated on the best plan of attack. Some proposed that Noah should pro- ceed as a deputation, and represent the rapacious tribe of scribbling mendicants. But the corpulent descendant of the royal tribe of David objected, on the ground that his appearance would defeat their object completely—that “ Old Hickory,” on seeing such a well-fed, sleek, oily incarnation of lazines ‘tite, would swear that none of them could are of the flesh-pots—but that Isaac Hiil, as he was the leanest, lankest, ugliest and most miserable of the let—a perfect image of starvation and suffering—should represent the two-and-twenty. This suggestion was eagerly accepted, and accord- ingly Isaac departed on his mission. He had, it eeems, hardiy occasion to open his mouth to beg, for his very aspect instantly moved ‘Old Hickory,” and the whole bunch of editors got office! How it is intended to operate on ‘* Young Hickory” we know not, but it wont be the fault of the cormo. rants if they dont get something out of him. There’s no knowing but Noah may get a pair of old breeches. Tue Law Covrts—Juper Epmonps.—The Cir. cuit Court will open on the 17th of March, when Judge Edmonds will take his seat upon the Bench as successor to Judge Kent—-the late occupant.— The appointment of Mr. Edmonds seems to give satisfaction io the profession, generally speaxing— but he will have to contend with difficulties be- fore he acquires that deserved popu!arity upon the Bench which distinguished his predecessor. There are some heavy cases upon the calendar of this Court for the ensuing term—among which, in the Oyer and Terminer branch, we may mention that of Polly Bodine—the venue in her case being changed to this County. This trial, with some heavy civil cases, which have been left in arrear, will require much asesduity onthe part of the Court to dispose them, so that Judge Edmonds has some heavy work before him. The other courts have also theircalendarscrowded, which provesthat the thirst for litigation is on the increase. The pay of jurors—if such a bill passes the Legislature—will throw additional facilities in the way to increase this desire for litigation ; but while we advocate the passage of such a bill, which is certainly loud- ly called for, we at the same time would urge the propriety of introducing a clause imposing certain resirictions, such as will prevent the calendars from being flooded with suits got up on mere spec- ulation—too many of which even now swell the calendars. The law courts are now driving a “thriving business.” Depron and Crepiror.—We have seen a brief pamphlet purporting to be an Address ot Dr. Ar- nault to his creditors, who it appears are most im- portunate and pressing to have their ‘pound of flesh ” It is well calculated to make an impres- sion, as showing the anxiety of an honest, ener- getic, but not very fortunate man to pay his debte—to do all that is ‘nominated in the bond ;” and there is an air of manly independence about his remarks and a piquancy in lis observations, which should be equivalent to a moderate dividend, in the esti- mation of every one of his creditors. Hearn and Lone Lire.—Now is the season of the year when every one who desires to live many 3 in the land, takes all due precautionary mea- sures for the preservation of health. These prudent people know the value of Mrs. Carroll’s Baths, which are the nearest approach modern science has made to the secret of the means of perpetua- ag youthful vigor. Try them Justice has not come “up to the mark” si his appointmentto office, particularly by bis refusal to share the spoils with the committee. We, B®wev. er, do not deem it proper to enter into the its of this matter until the trial is finally disposed of, when we shall calmly review the testimony in al! its bearings. Tue Rorunpa in THE Parx.—The Board of As- sistants have partially defeated the project in rela- tion to the disposal of this building in the shape of agift to the Committee on Arts and Sciences ; but it has been referred to a Committee to enquire into the expediency of such a measure, and report thereon at their next meeting. Our views on this matter, which fully accord with those of the pub- lic in general, have been already recorded; and we look with confidence to the ultimate defeat of & proposition which tends to take away so large a gum as some $5000 per year of the city property, at a period when the city is sunk in debt aad over- burdened with taxation. Scarcity or Szamen.—We have seen a pamphlet, lately published in this city, which corroborates in the most ample manner, all that we have stated in Teference to the scarcity of American seamen. Wehope that it will fall intothe hands of the mem- bers of Congress. It contains a great many inte- resting facts worthy of deep consideration. We have too long suffered for want of seamen, and this seems.to be the proper time to act in the mat- ter, and provide a remedy for this great evil. Mr. Thomas Goin, who established the Naval School a few years ago, is now exerting his influence to in- crease the number of men in our mercantile ma- tine, and every merchant wishes him success. Is it not time to increase the native seamen, when our ships are manned by three foreigners to on American? Sincutar Weatuer.—This winter has been the most remarkable we ever remember to have expe- rienced. December and January were spring-like months. February opened with extreme cold, which was followed by a tremendous snow storm. We then had an astonishing shower, accompanied by several terrible claps ot thunder, and yesterday rain fell in torrents with more thunder and light- ening. These showers have been of incalculable benefit to the city. They have washed the side. walks and carried off several tons of filth. We regret to state, however, that no sings of the pave- ments or the missing street inspectors have yet been seen. It willbe necessary for emigrants from abroad to bring high stilts to enable them to get safely through the city. If the present mild weather continues, the Hud- son will soon throw off her winter dress, Cost or THE ANTI-Rent Wan.—It appears by a statement made to the Legislature that the war at Hudson cost $23,698. Annexed are the details of the bill: New York Horse Guards. Albany Burgesses Corps Albany Emmet Guards {t is as well to mention that this bill has not yet been paid. New Yorx Sacken Music Society.—The annu- ai concert of this Society comes off this evening in the Tabernacle, Broadway, when the oratorio of the ‘‘Messiah” will be performed, Madame Pico taking the contralto parts. There are a whole host of talent engaged for the occasion, and doubtless there will be a good attendance. Tue Arcus Bat.—This grand military ball, the proceeds of which are to be appropriated to the es- tablishment of a ‘‘ Military Institute” in this city, comes off at Niblo’s to-night. An elegant supper, in Niblo’s admirable style, will be given. Wecn’s Parx Crrcus.—Mad Antony Wayne continues to draw full houses. Vatug or Rockuann Counry.—On the 20th inst. the wife of Daniel Ritchey, of Haverstraw, pre- sented her husband with three fine girls at one birth We mentioned yesterday a similar increase of population in Yorkville, 8. ©. New Yor Post Orrice Once More.—The York Post Office is also complained of, by phd Chante in this exty who complain of the tardy delivery of letters, and in some of the Boston papers of its want of promptnessin the transmission of mail matter. There is ae for the last compleint in this quarter. The New ke evening nee ot Lg f were not received at + — = 7 eno Lg the Gommerctaly dhe at ening, comes tous imail.-Newark Ado. Feb, 39. Te ree Iratran Ovena—Pposrect oF a Revivat.— ‘We understand that Signor De Begnis has nearly completed his negociations for a lease of Palmo’s Theatre for two years, to begin next season. Ae soon as his arrangements are complete, which will be in a few days, the Signor intends to send im- mediately to Italy to engage a fresh troupe of vo- calists, who will be bound to go on fora couple of years without quarrelling. Tf any man can succeed in such an enterprize, it is De Begnis. Go ahead. Mapameg Pico’s Concert—Its Reau Resutt.— We stated on Saturday, we think, that the Concert given by Madame Pico, at the Tabernacle, in con- sequence of some unfortunate circumstances, did not yield more than $300, although there was a general impression that there were more than one thousand personsin the house, and that it must have ytelded more than $1,000 to that delightful canta. trice. It seems that we were somewhat mistaken in this statement, and the gentleman who managed the Concert, considering that our reraarks reflected slightly on him, called upon and gives us the following particulars, which may be depended upon :— Tickets eold ..... +++ .5d8 Do.complimentary .....234 About 30 persons without . 30 Received. ... . .$658 Persons... Expenses—Orchestra For Printing Apres in 7 pay To Colline (Po: To Mr. Hale, for the To Mr. Sexton .. Door Keepers and To the Manager, (———) Add to this—For 500 tickets. For Pianoforte For Mr. Timm Bouquets and Refreshments, $828 00 This is a most remarkable statement. We did notattend the cencert ourself, but our reporter was present, and according to his account there were about one thousand persons present. In some of the journals of the day, we believe this was swelled to about two thousand. But it seems that all these statements were erroneous, and that the official statement which we have given only puts the ber of tickets actually sold at five hundred an ight. This strikes us with a great deal of . Previous to the concert, considering the high reputation of Madame Pico—the admira- tion which she has created in this city—her great talente—and various other circumstances, we had been led to expect that she would at least make from one thousand to fifteen hundred dollars by this concert, and almost fill the Tabernacle. The comparative failure has surprised us much, and leads us to reflect upon and call up the circum- stances antecedent to that event, in order to dis- cover the causes of this falling off. It will be recollected that Madame Pico com. menced her career in this city without any par- ticular noise or previous announcement of her su- perior attractions. Her name had never been heard in this country before her arrival, but, as soon as she made her appearance, the superiority of her voice—the sweetness of its tones—the accu racy of her taste—at once attracted a great deal of public attention, and in a very brief period Madame Pico was an established favorite. Owing to cer tain circumstances soon after her first appearance, acertain clique seized hold upon her good fortune, and endeavored to create out of it a rivalry be- } tween her and Borghese, which was pushed~ on with a great degree of fol!y and absurdity by Wil lis, and aset of miserable creatures about him, who are wellknown. This has inflicted no incon- siderable injury on Madame Pico—affecting her far more inyuriously than if she had been left to the unsolicited generosity of the public of New York. Averies of articles'were published in the Evening Abortion, written in no Christian tongue, exhi- biting the utmest ignorance of music, opera, and all connected therewith, and remarkable only for | a mingled tone of sarcasm and badinage, which was passed off upon the amiable prima donna as in the quintessence of coinpliment, whilst people were laughing at it all round town. But the result was a quarrel between Borghese and Pico—the break- ing up of the opera—the leaving of Madame Pico alone here, and the result we have seen in recent events. As for Madame Pico herself, she is a most excel- lent artist. She is an amiable and accomplished woman, and will always maintain a high position in the musical drama. We yet hope to see the Italian opera re-constructed here of the best materi als, and to see Madame Pico again take that posi- tion to which by her talents she is justly entitled, but no more to be an instrument of creating diffi- culty and rivalry—which are injurious to all con- cerned, and which the Maralls of the press so delight to create. Two Days Later From Tsxas.—Advices from Galveston to the 12th inst. inclusive, were received in New Orleans on the 15th by the steamer New York. The New York carried out the news of the Lore gy in the House of Representatives, of the joint resolution for the annexation of Texas, but as she _ arrived st Gal- ‘veaten on Monday last, we hear but little as to the recep tion ofthe news. The Civilian, in relation to it, says :— “ We have not room or time to-day for comments upon the resolutions forthe annexation of Texes, which have sed the House ot Representatives of the Wnited Stat- ough should the news of their failure in the Senate n reach us in a very short time, we shall have something to say in relation to them Opinions as to the prospect of their in the Senate, vary. Our own im) ion sill is, that they will fail in that body, though for what substantial reason, we are at a loss to imagine, for cer tainly there are great advantages offered to the United States, without asolitary drawback. Texas, by this trea ty, is to give every ad and receive nothing in re- jes but the name of being a State in the American inion. We learn from the News, that a bill to reinstate Com- modore Moore in his rank and privaleges in the Navy, and a iting his P roge of Ray ranted by the last ongress, House, witl rules si ded, but on the last day of the session, the Senate refused to suspend the rule requiring bills to be read on three seve- ral days, and thus left it, on ite second reading, among the unfinished business.

Lorr, Jonzs, Hann and Brers,sustained the resolatious; and Messrs Pornam, and Fo.som opposed them. Mr. Crank moved to amend the resolutions by atriking out the words “ of questionable consiitu- tionality,” and ‘‘ unjust.” He was willing to ad- mit that the law of Congress was unequal in its operation.

New York Pilots. ‘As the Pilot Laws are now presented to the public in an aspect which must soon lead to decided and permanent action, it is proper, in the diseussion of that important question, to pre- sent the point really at issue. It is sought by those opposed to the views expressed in the Gover- nor’s meseage to agitate the causes which induced the passage of the act of Fone TEM, and, efforts are male, by involving the pilots of New York in the disasters of 1887, to establish that they are unwor thy of public confidence or Legislative protection ‘o this attempt the answer 1s, that satisfactory official investigation entirely acquitted them otf apy inculpation in that respect, and so would pub- lic opinion, were it not for the interested agitators of New Jersey, who do not mean to lose the ad- vantage of prejudice by clamorous accusation. To determine she true points in controversy, itis necessary to ascertain who are the parties to it — They are the State of New York and her Pilots; the State of New Jersey, her Pilots, and the me1- chants and underwriters of this city. Fur what purpose are the respective parties contending? New York is vindicating her sovereignty. New Jersey covertly, under the banner of the commercial in- terests (who unwittingly have become her ally,) is striving to open a new field of enterprise for her Pi- lots, while the Jersey Pilots, hungry for plunder, are ready to take it on any terms. The real contest at Albany is New Jersey against New York, though the former may not have the assurance to send emissaries to our Legislative Halls, with the insolent request that New York should surrender her dominions to New Jersey and accept her citizens to administer our municipal offices, The single question is, shall we maintain State rights and uphold State supremacy, or sur- render them to the pretensions of a grasping neigh- bor, who, having no commerce of her own, pre- sented herself to Congress, by deceitful legislation, in an attitude to be benefitted by untoward excite- ment, and throw her citizens on this State for sup- port. On the 8th of February, 1837, that State enacted her first Pilot Law; at that moment the present act of Congress was about ooniie slam; In order to avail herself of its provisions, New Jersey estab- lished her Pilot system under the pretence of its necessity, when, in truth, the single object was to make Pilots for New York. 3 . The preamble of her act discloses her dissimula- tion ; it is, ‘That whereas the commerce of N-w Jersey required every facility and aid usually ex- tended to maratime States—and whereas, at thie time, there are no licensed pilots for the safe con duct of our increasing commerce, rendering us wholly dependent on a neighboring State.” That preamble admits the fact that New Jersey before had no pilots, and professes to appoint then: for the safe conduct of her increasing commerce The motive of that law cannot be misunderstood. and it cannot be too much regretted that a sove- reign State should be so unmindful of her dignity as to resort to this specious subterfuge of her in creasing commerce. The inquiry is not whether the New York pilots violated their trust in 1837, but whether this State is competent to regulate a pilot system adequate to her commerce. _ It is not whether the commerce of New Jersey is increasing, or whether that ‘‘mara- time State” has the material to make efficient pi lots, but whether we require her fishermen to occu- py our offices of trust and profit, and at the same time be exempt from the pains and penalties of our laws. in short, *‘it is whether we can govern our- selves, or should be put out to nurse to a charitable neighbor. It is blindly contended that the act of Congress destroyed the odious monopoly that formerly ex- isted, when in truth that benefit was the effect ot the State law, which provides that ‘‘no pilot shall participate in the earnings of any others than thoee attached to the same boat; and for breach of thie provision any pilot er pilots shall forfeit his or their icenses.”” x : How must a citizen of New York be impressed, en comparing the provisions of the act of Congress with the lawe of this State, in palpable conflict with each other? Wiil he not;hesitate to abandon his own family and fly to the arms of strangers? The act of Congress 1s as follows: ‘Be it enacted, that it shall and may be lawful -for the master and commander of any vessel coming into, or going out of any port, situate or waters which are the boundary between two States, to employ any pilot duly licensed, or authorized by the laws of either of the States bounded on the said waters, to pilot any vessel to or from said port —any law, usage or custom to the contrary not- withstanding.” | Pog March 4th, 1837. The act of this State, eared April 12:h, of the same year, establishes 2 Board of Commissioners, and authorizes them to license pilote—and, by the 9th section, declares that—‘ Any person not holding a license as pilot, who shall pilot, or offer to pilot, any ship or vessel to, or from, the port of New York, by the way of Sandy Hook, shall be deem- ed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not exceeding fifty dollars, or imprisonment not exceeding one month.” On the 4th March, 1837, Congress invited the citizens of New Jersey to pilot on our waters. On the 12th of April following, New York forbade them, under the pain of fine and imprisonment.— We are now to determine whether the hospitality at Washington shall draw locusts to our harvest— or the frugality of New York preserve our store. Can New Jersey supply atew sober and expe- rienced men as harbor masters and port wardens for New York ? Justice.

MONEY MARKET. Sunday, Feb. 23—6 P. M. "The closing prices for many of the fancy stocks were lower than on any day during the week, but in advance of the quotations current at the close of the two previous weeks. Speculation in fancy stocks has been quiteac- tive for the past few days, and the excitement will, with- out doubt, continue, so long as capital is abundact and the rate of interest rules low. Many stocks or the books are full as high as they can go, and there is not that large margin for an advance there was last year at this time.— The rail road stocks used so extensively for speculation, are now selling for more than they ere actually worth — Harlem is now selling at 72; Long ‘sland at78; Mohawk at 66; and Norwich and Worcester at 72. ‘These are about the extreme rates, and the bulls will find it very dif- ficult to get up much of animprovement on these pric When Harlem was selling at 40 a 45, Long Island at 48 a 60, Mohawk at 60 a 52,and Norwich and Worcester at 28 @@), there was an opportunity for speculation which was not permitted to pass, and prices, during the excitement that raged so extensively from March to June, 1844, went her than at any time since. Many other stocks are now held at prices too high for an advance of any conse- quence, and although there may be for thenext thirty daya quite an active business done in stocks, and specu- lation to some extent may be carried on, it must ap) plain to all who calmly jook at these things, that those who operate for a decline will make the most money.— The bears can control the market, in spite of every ef- fort the bulls may make. The bears not only have the most capital and experience, but the state of the market and the state of prices, are every way in their favor, and we cannot conceive it possible ior the bulls to prevent a decline in quotations. Several of the railroad stocks— ud of weather. It ent, as far as in "fivery excess of ext aud cold, 10 receive any disease with without any contact with now called tancies—must,before man ymonths p way, be good, sound, dividend paying securities, these stocks must be dail: iomenioe in the market, but an advance in price from this cause must of course be very slow, and behind the wishes of speculators. — Until the principal railroad stocks in this list pay regular and fair dividends, the market price cannot go much above the rates now current. Speculators may tarough the influence of some cornering operation, up a temporary advance, but quotations must finally settle down to the vicinity of present prices. The Long Island Reilroad stands the first on the books. The re- ceipts of this company have been very large since the annual report was made, and it is expected the profits of the road, during the Sopeeeeee summer, will exceed anything yet realized. The second is the Norwich and Worcester Railroad. This company have already de- clared a dividend of three per cent, and reported a sur- plus This dividend and surplus are stated to have been declared and made from the actual earnings of the road, which, if true, shows a productiveness sufficient to en- sure the moat favorable results. The local travel of the Norwich and Worcester Railroad, is a very large per cent of the aggregate business of the company, which, at present, guaranteee an income, free from all competition, almost large enough to wey the expenditures of the road. In this particular, the Norwich road is better property: than the Long Island, as the local, or way travel, is an impc tent item in the receipts and an important feature in the business of any company. The condition of the financial affairs of these companies—Long Island, and Norwich and Wotcester—ut present is such, that the market value of their stock cannot, as we have before stated, go much above that now current. It will be sometime before either go to par ; the declaration of good dividends would not do it at once. We annex our usual comparative table, showing the quotations for stocks in this market for eaeh day of the week just closed, and at the close of the week previous.

This increase is in the increased fare. In 1844, the high fare party power, and the through passengers were charged six dollars, being two dol! each more than the rate charged in 1843. The receipts of the company under the adminis- tration of the high fa 'y have increased, but we aro disposed to believe that had the former prices been hered to, the income uf the road in 1844 would have been than theamount ieported. Inevery instance —tither in railroad, steamboat, or stoge.travel—where the cost of transportation has been reduced, the receipts have been larger then when higher prices were demand- ed; and the Directors of the Western Railroad will find that there will be a limit to the passenger receipts should the present fare be adhered to. The completion ef the contemplated railroads in this State, in Connecticut, Vermont and Massachusetts, must have an injurious effect; upon the Western road. Tho Boston, Fitchburg and Burlington road, will draw fro. the Western road a portion of its Northern trade;the extension of the Hertford and New Slaven road trom Springfield, North, will at- traet to this city a portion of the trade from that neigh- borhood that now goes East ; the extension of the Harlem to the Housatonic, or the completion of the Albany and New York Railroad under the present charter, would deaw the trade from the Western at the fountain head. All these routes would come into competition with the Western, and by topping it at different points, draw away business that would otherwise be carried its entire length, and materiallyjreduce its preductiveness.
