ES arama lean mata oW YORK HERALD, New York, Saturday, PICTORIAL HERALD. The Meeting of the Female Industrial Society. Mr. TYLER'S DEPARTURE PROM WASHINGTON, The Weekly Herald, to be issued this morn- jog, at 9 o’clock, will contain two very spirited and graphie engravings. One represents the great meeting of the “Female Industrial Society,” with Miss Gray in the act of haranguing an excited aod animated crowd of young and beautiful girls. "The other engraving gives an eaceedingly interest. ing representation of Mr. Tyler's departure frem Washington, when ‘oo late for the steamboat.” — Price enly 6} cents. rch 15, 1845, Next News from Kurope—Express from Boston, The “Cambria” is now on her way from Eag- Jand, with much later, and probably very impor- tant intelligence. She has been out ten or eleven days, and may be expected here on Monday or Puesday next. The accounts she will bring will be very interesting, both in apolitical and commer. cial point of view. By this arrival, if a packet ship should not in meantime come in, we shall receive the Queen’s speech on the opening of Parliament, nud the debates upon it, which will undoubtedly disclose some very important views of the British government ia relation to its foreign and domestic the policy. In one point of view it will be interesting to the United States. Itis utterly impossible tor Parliament to be open a week without some debate arising, orsome person making a motion relative to the annexation of Texas, and the recent des- patches of Mr. Calhounon that subject. ‘This will bring out the members of the government, and probably we may have some very important discus- sions relative to American affairs. On another point, also, we may have highly in- teresting intelligence, that 1s, the policy of the uch government on the same subject, annexa- u A good deal of speculation is algo indulged in amongst commercial men on this question with regard to the prices of cotton, some expecting au advance, others a fall, and many merely a firmness in the market. Whatever the intelligence may be, it will be interesting and important. We have made arrangements, as usual, if cir cumstances warrant it, and the steamer arrive at a particular time—for running an express, an exclu- sive and extraordinary express from Boston to this city, which will again beat the Post Office Depart- ment, even under the new regimé. Butas we have said, the running of this express will depend on the contingency of the time of the steamer’s arrival. Should that contingency favor the en- terprise, We expect to beat every other paper in this city, and to carry the news in advance of all other establishments to Charleston, Mobile, and New Orleans. Probably our amiable contempo- raries may attribute speculative purposes to this erprise and endeavor to figure out the vast sums of money, varying from $100,000 to $700,000, er $800,000 that we may make by speculating in cot- tonand other products. Well, be itso. If we can make half a million of dollars by superior en- terprise, and judicious expenditure of a few hun- dred dollars, by great foresight and some little arithmetic, we havea perfect right to do so, and eshall avail ourselves of every chance. They may grumble as much as they please. The Great Whig Meeting Next Tuesday. A good deal of curiosity has been excited rela- tive to the great whig meeting preparatory to the election, which isto come off on next Tuesday, at National Hall. The greatest degree of interest, indeed, now attaches to the movements of the two parties opposed to the locofocos—the whig branch and the “native” branch, that seem to be contending who shall destroy each other, so as to occupy a proper position for future operations. We have already alluded to the rumor, that Mr. Selden, the nominee of the whigs for Mayer, in- tends to come before his constituents next Tues- day, and exhibit his views and opinions relative to the municipal government. He isa capital speaker, aa eloquent and powerful debater, and we have no doubt that he will cut up and show off the im. becility and worthlessness of the present Corpora- tion, with great skill and ability, presenting them in the most flagrant light. It is not so certain, however, what he will say, relative to the religious question involved in this contest, and which ap- pears to be the principal element of the “ native” party now in existence in this city, and some other cities of the United States. We believe that a most important crisis is at hand, in relation to this matter affecting religious liberty and religious rights, and the settlement of the interesting and important question, whether religion is to become an element in politica) contests, and if so, whether the present age is not going backward instead ot forward in liberty and civilization. This is, indeed, a great crisis. The original movement,—from which all the recent events in Philadelphia and elsewhere—the burning of church- es, the murder of citizens in open day, and all the other fearful atrocities which are {fresh in the public recollection,—commenced in this city, and it is here where it is to be determined whether it is to be ended now, or whether we are only in the com- mencement of a new series of atrocities, similar to those which characterized former ages. Every one knows the origin of the deplorable events to which we have alluded. Contrary to all principles of prudence and common sagacity, a prelate of the Catholic Church, John Hughes by name,—a man who possesses more of the demagogue than the christian,—first commenced the agitation, and aroused the sectarian feelings of his congregation by arraying them as a separate political party, and haranguing them in the most exciting manner, with the view of giving an impulse to political af- fairs, on an isolated point, relative to the introduc- tion of some particular translation of the Holy Scriptures in the schools. We are well aware, and every one is aware, that this movement of Bishop Hughes was deprecated by the great body of the Catholic Clergy in this city and throughout the country,—deprecated even by the mass of his own people, and that nothing but his position, his pertinacity, and the ecclesiastical power wielded by him, could have thus far saved him from merit- ed degradation in hisown Church, as the necessary consequence of such conduct in this free country. The attempt thus made by the Catholics—a mere fragment, however, of that respectable body of christians—led on by Bishop Hughes, furnished the groundwork for another sect of christians, Presbyterians and some small poition of the Me- thodists, on which to commence a counter-move- ment, under the name of the “native” party, em- bracing every species of anti-Popish, anti-Catholic agitation, and almost reminding us of the bloody times of the 14th and 15th centuries. That secta- rian movement, however, would have had but a transient existence, and never could have attained its subsequent importance, but for the circumstance that blended with its follies, in the sensible pur- pose of city and municipal reform. This union of adverse ideas and influences, combined with the peculiar position of the whig party, previous to an important Presidential election, served to give the “native” party a majority in this city at the spring election last year; and under the ery of reform they reached power. The result is before us—a constant succession of acts of faithlessnees, imbecility, weakness, corruption, folly, aad extravagance, in every department of the municipal government of New York. No party ever possessed power for co short a time, yet succeeded go "completely as this ative party has, in disgusting the great masa of independent people, We believe, indeed, that at Wile time the “natives” ara reduced to the mero “rump” of intolerance and bigotry, leaving nothirg on which to hawg a hope, except the ignorant and brutal cry against a particular sect of religion, the Catholics, the great body of whom is perfectly in- nocent, and did not at all participate in the egregi- ous fo'ly and impertinence Nughes and the few who sustained him. But, notwithstanding the low and miserable condition of the * natives” in this city, great efforts are made in some of the neighboring cities to build up this new party on its intolerant princi- ples, and a prodigious struggle may be expected here, in the ensuing election, on the part of the “* natives,” for the maintenance of their position. They will endeavor to mislead the public in rela- tion to the forfeiture of+ their pledges, as well as to stimulate sectarian animosities, and mingle with the political contests of eivilized people, the religious intolerance and religious bitterness of former aud darkerages of the world. Itis the first time in the history of this country, that an attempt hus been made by any set of inen to organize politi- cal parties on religious principles of action. ‘The revolution which gave independence to these States was eflected by nen of all christian sects—the Ca- tholic and the Protestant— the Jesuit and the Prez- byterian—the Methodist and the Baptist—the man who believed much and he who believed little. — Men of every sect united in that great struggle, and since that period until very recently, the action of our government and of all our political parties has been kept aloof froin religious opinion, every indi- vidual being free to entertain in peace his own ideas about God, eternity and salvation. But it has Bishc been reserved for this latter day aud for the present age of light and liberty, to exhibit to the world an attempt to revive the atrocities of the days of the faggot and the stake. has already been signalized by conflagration and murder in Philadelphia—is now in the very crisis of its fate. patriotism, energy and intelligence in this commu- nity sufficient to annihilate this atrocious effort to organize the people of this country into contending religious factions. But this movement—which It remains to be seen whether there is If the “ native” faction, with its religious intole- rance, be not effectually put down at the ensuing election, just as Bishop Hughes and his little Ca- tholie faction were put down at the last election, we verily believe that scenes of blood and confla gration will mark the history of this country, from city to city, for years to come. The great question of religious liberty and the right of private judg- ment in matters of religion, is now at stake in this coming election. We are, therefore, glad to find the respectable portion of the whig party coming forth without distinction of religious feeling, and determined to clear their skirts of this desperate and daring faction, who have attempted to revive in this free land the atrocities of the bloody and burning ages that are past and gone, we hope for ever and ever. If Mr. Selden comes forth with that boldness of froat which has hitherto charac- terized him—if he will speak of those things as they ought to be spoken of, and in that tone which will find a sympathetic chord in the heart of every good and right-thinking man in this community, he will mark his nomination and the present election in that signal manner that will long be remembered with gratitude in the history of the United States. The interest about the meeting on Tuesday next increases every day. So also, of course, does the interest in the coming election. The great question to be settled is, will the whig organization yield to, or will it annihilate the organization of the ‘‘na- tive” party—an organization on principles of blood, conflagration and universal anarchy ? “Wo WILL BE THE GovERNMENT ORGAN AT Wasuincton?”—This question is still undecided. The Washington Globe, conducted by Blair & Rives, will no doubt make a hard struggle, but we doubt whether it ought to succeed. The policy of the Globe during the last few years was very inju- rious to the party now in power, and if it had been followed, would have reduced the democrats to a miserable minority, and Mr. Clay would now have been the President. The Baltimore Convention that nominated Mr. Polk, upset that policy, and rebuked the newspaper dictators. It is now deemed very dangerous by all shrewd politicians, to entrust the Globe with such a large deposite of politica! power in future. Like many of those with whom they have been associated, its conductors have been defaulters to their , political trust, and they would be so again. The Madisonian can hardly be ele- vated to be an organ, from its ignorance, imbeci- lity, and folly. John Jones can never be any thing but—bit of a John. In fact, the only paper at Washington that seems to possess the natural elements on which to raise the superstructure of an organ, is the Constitution. It has been managed with a great deal of talent, judgment and dignity. Perhaps it will be Mr. Polk’s policy to consider that the organ of the government, giving it all the efficient patronage, and recommending it to all democrats in Congress at the next session. We will wait and see. Eprtors aT WasuInaton.—It is generaily under- stood that nearly une hundred editors were at Washington during the inauguration week. Fifty or sixty were democrats, looking after the spoils, and the rest whiga, looking on. At least fifty ot the democratic editors were after pay in the shape of advertising patronage or office. What a’melancholy exhibition! If editors would attend to their avocations, be industrious and temperate, they would goon find themselves in much better places than they can get at Washington. We trust that Mr. Polk will put a veto onany system of rewarding these hungry vultures in the shape of lazy, idle, lounging editors who flock to Washing- ton after the spoils. We are preparing a list of the editors who were at Washington—of their wants and wishes, with a statement of the services they have done, and suggestions us to the treatment they ought to receive at the hands of President Polk. Generally, however, they ought to be all dismissed and sent home with directions to attend to their organs and make thema little more decent than heretofore. Tar War or tHe Criques on Mr. Poux.— Already the organs of the cliques are out in ful] blast against Mr. Polk. The Morning News of this city, and the Albany Atlas, the organs of Silas Wright, are out quite furious against the selection of Mr. Marcy to a place im the Cabinet. They speak of the ‘‘ great disapprobation with which the appointment is regarded by the democracy of this State” (meaning the aforesaid clique), and assail Mr. Polk in no very measured terms. The Charles- ton Mercury, the organ of the Calhoun clique, abuses every member of the Cabinet ina strain of amusing chagrin and ill-nature. All this shows the accuracy of our predictions, and also affords very good evidence in favor of the claims put forth for Mr. Polk by his peculiar admirers. When these cliques and party organs begin to abuse him, itis probable that Mr. Polk has taken a very pro- per course. First Vionation or tug Post Orrice Laws.— The first violation of the Post office law, as far as we can understand it, has been committed by the Post office Department, and if not by, at least, ap. parently under the sanction of Cave Johnson, the Postmaster General. It will be recollected that the new law declares that the advertisements is- suing from the department are to be published in the pupers having the largest circulation in their respective districts. Now we perceive a post office advertisement in the New York Morning News of yesterday, with the signature of the Postmaster General appended to it. It is well known that among all the daily papers in New York, the News has probably the smallest circulation. How can the Postmaster {General reconcile this with strict adherence to the spirit and letter of the new law, he means to excuge himself by the plea that # not come into operation till July? Thia doos Hot tell well, Opening of the New Native American Hall A gathering of these noiay, talking, and boasting partizang, took place last night, ou the occasion of the opening of their new Hall, corner of Broadway ind Grand street, which certainly, just lke the party it belongs to, will not present many attractions when the noveliy is worn off. It was intended by the movers in the business to make a formidable display last night; but, im the language of some general, who had no great reason to be pleased with the materiel of his army-their conduct was formidable to all but their enemies. There u:ed to be some fire and life in the ‘“‘natives,” in the good old days, just twelve months, when they were gcing up the hill; but such acold and dull atiair as last nighv’s, has hardly been seen outside of a Quaker meeting house. In fact, the only thing alive seemed to be the cigars, which blazed furiously in all quarters of this promising establishment, and which furnished,when in the first stage of the plea- saut process of pufling, a model of the Native American Artillery, of which come of the orators spoke,and when approaching close up to the mouth, half out aud half in—a faithful type of the rather ambigious—no, no; the ‘used up” condition of these eminent reformers—alias quacks. Such us they were, a considerable number were present, but there wasa sullen silence reigning supreme nearly all the time, each one setting down on the benches without uttering a word, and as dull look- ing as though they were in attendance at the fune- ral rites of “‘nativeism.” General Luoyp presided, called the meeting to order, when three cheers were given for their new “American Hall,” as it was styled. A very few remarks of the usual kind having been made by the Chairman— Mr. Camrsevt came forward, in response to loud calls for him. He observed that the occasion was most inte- resting. Waneuil Hall was named for an individenl— Tammany for a society—the Mascnic Hall for a fraternity —but their’s bore the name of their commoa country — (Cheers.)—where they would meet, and kneel at its shrine, echo the language cf patriotism, and give expres- sion to that love of country, naturel to men who were born on its soil. He would decline to further detain them, but retire with bespeaking their earnest attention for a gentleman, who was about to deliver an address full of sound policy, and good doctrine. Judge T'ayvor then arose, and read an address ef an hour and a hal{ long, and consisted of a sketch of the rise, and pregress of the republic; of the decla- ration of independence; so much of its consti tution and jurisprudence as related to the natu- ralizetion of foreigners, and the necessity now existing for their reformation. A very long portion of it waster the purpose of showing that naturalization was no right, but a gift of the Government in which the power resided of limiting, modifying, aud ennulling it altogether. He then pointed out what the future policy of Government should be; dwelt upon the frauds ut the ballot box, and the outrageons abuseot the franchise, which had, in fact, brought their country into disgrace in the eyes of other nations. In the face of all this, he was in favor of an effec- tive net ation law, which, if in operation, would pre- vent thousands of voting who now did so. Allhongh he was in favor of reforming these abuses, he blamed Ameri can partizan leaders—not the ones sibalsee voters— for them; and he thought it was unbecoming and impolitic to cherish a feeling of hostility towards them, for hap- ‘ing to be born in snother country, as was too prevalent. it was not theirJault if theywere eligible to abuse through ignorance of the gift conferred upon them, but it was duty ofthe native citizen who loved his country, to see her institutions preserved intact. He would not desire to see any citizen pow qualified disfranchized, nor would he deny the ultimate advent to aliens of rights of citi- zenship, properly modified, and under such limitations on restrictions as would guarantee its treedom from abuse, This discourse was listened to with evidently more curiosity than admiration by the audience; it was, as the author told them,not composed for the occasion; it was the result of enquiry and the censcientious conviction of his own mind, and he alone was accountable tor its doctrines. Indeed, there was fartoo much common sense in it to be palatable to the tastes of the natives, and as there was none of the fice and brimstope—none of the, cant and rigmarole about the Pope, the Dutch and the devil—the only topics suited to the mental calibre of the real, first chop “natives” it met with a very cool reception—which is indeed highly complimentary to its merits. By aresolution to that effect, however, the thanks of the meeting were offered both to Judge Taylor and to Mr. Campbell. Mr- De Le Ree sung a couple of amusing songs and the meeting adjourned, Meeting of the Female Industrial Associa- tion. ‘There was but a limited attendance in the Supe- rior Court of the City Hall yesterday of this asso- ciation, no doubt in consequence of the unfavora- ble state of the weather, which threw a damper upon them for the present. Shortly after the time appointed for the meeting, Miss Grey, President of the Association, took the chair. She read a series of rules for the government of the Association, to- gether with a list of the officers for the ensuing year, which were carried unanimously. A series of resolutions were then proposed, having for their object the support of the Association, which were garried in like manner. Miss Gary then proceeded to read an address to those present. She congratulated them on the bold ition they had taken, upbraided their employers For the manner in which they had oppressed them, and said they would stand it no longer, as they on- ly asked for justice and would not be confent with less. She stated that there were stores where fe- males are the fit attendants, but which are filled by young men, capable of more athletic and health- ful'service. This was a growingevil, and although they would not willingly express any desire to li- mit the bounds of freedom, yet it was a notorious fact, that numbers of those so epithe having no other occupation, arrive in numbers by the packets from Europe. In conclusion she observed, we have now formed our association. Itis founded on the principles of justice and right, and we de not de- air of success. Let vs stand shoulder to shoul- ler in this struggle. The jenn ee mighty lever of Civilization, has spoken out, and the strong force ot public opinion is with us. I repeat again, ‘Who would be free, themselves must strike the blow.” A resolution was then passed unanimously for es- tablishing a Store in connexion with the Associa- tion, which would afford those belonging to the body employment while resisting the unjust pro- ceedings of the employers, and soliciting the pa- tronege of the public therefor. Another resoiution was pussed in like manner, adjourning the meeting to Monday next, at 3 o’clock, at Palmo’s Theatre, where an address will be delivered ; to hear which the Mayor and Aldermen, together with the mem- bers “ the press, would be respectfully invited to attend. 4% The president then invited those present to sign the pledge of membership, which she read ; and several came forward for that glee We are requested to atate that Mrs. Stephens was not present at a recent meeting of this association as stated in some of the papers, It was merely that a Committee should be appointed to wait on that lady, requesting her to write an address to the pub- lic on behalt of the Association. Musicat.—The grand German Instrumental Con- cert comes off this evening, in Niblo’s Saloon, for the benefit ef the German Jefferson Band. The performance will be similar to those of Straus and Labitzky, which have been so popular on the continent of Europe, and will afford a great musi- cal treat. There is to be a grand display in the burleeque line this evening, at Palmo’s Theatre. The three pieces of “Som-am Ole Bull,” “Shin de Heela,” and the “Virginian Girl” will be performed, for the benefit of Mr. Kneass and Company, being positive. ly their last engagement, as they are about to pro- ceed to Philadelphia ‘on Mouday next. There is io be agrand Vocal and Instrumental Concert at Palmo’s Italian Opera House, on Mon- day evening, by Signor Sanquirico, in which Signora Pico, Madam Otto, and a whole host of other art of the greatest musical talent, are en- gaged; the instrumental department is equally effi- cient. ‘Cie programme abounds with the choicest pieces. It will be a great treat. Mr. Kyle. the distinguished fluitist, gives a Con- cert at the Washington Hall, Newark, on Tuesday next. In addition to his own delightful perform- ances with the flute, Mr. py will have the aid of Madame Pico, Miss E. De Luce, Sig. Sanquirico, and Mr.Timm. The latter will preside at the iano. Such a combination of talent has never een united, we believe, in any Concert evergiven in that Cee Y , A Grand Complimentary Concert will be given to Mr Brough on the 26th inst. at which Madam Pico and a whole host of musical talent are to dis- play their powers. From the preparations making and the host of artistes to be present, it expect ed that it willbe one cf the greatest musical dis- plays of the season. New Hamrsuire Evection.—It appears to be pretty well ascertained, that the democrats have elected their candidates for Governor and for Con- gress. Hale is defeated; he run well only in his own town. ‘Texas, therefore, is considered by the people of New Hampshire to be worth having. Exgction 1n Detroit.—The democrats elected their candidate for Mayor on the 3d inst., by a small majority. Fasnionastx Hats.—Leary & Co., Astor House, have just issued a new style of fashionable hat, which seems to take very much. It is smaller than those worn heretofore, but extremely neat and elegant. Go and see it.

Voorhees, has arrived in the Chesapeake, with later intelli- gence from Rio—to the 15th of January, This ship brings important despatehes from the Hon. Henry A. Wise, ovr Minister at Brazil, rela- live to the slave trade, which were imimediately forwarded to Washington. {tis stated that the most extraordinary develop- ments, relative to this trade, have been made by Mr. Wise, and also by Mr. Gordon, our consul at Rio. It will be seen, by a letter from our attentive cor- respondent at Annapolis, that the Emperor of Brazil has seut two of his most eminent naval officers to this country, on a tour of inspection through our navy yards, &c., &c. ; also four boys, to learn the art of ship building. Capt. Voorhees, of the Congress, it will be reco!- lected, was the naval officer who lately seized the whole Argentine fleet, at Montevideo. The frigate Raritan, Capt. Gregory, was at Rio on the Mth of January. (Correspondence of the New York Herald ) Annavonis, Md., March 12, 1845. The U. 8. frigate Congress arrived on the 8th instant, in the Chesapeake, from a three year’s cruise, and 48 days from Rio de Janeiro, the cffi- cers and crew ail in good health. 5 During the cruise of the Congress she has dis- layed our flag in France, Italy, Austria, Greece, Trarkey, Syria, Egypt, Tripoli, Morocco, Sicily, Malta, Monorea, Gibraltar, Madeira.

Two Days Latex rrom Tsxas.—We have re- ceived advices from Galveston to the 26th ult. in- clusive. There is no news of the least consequence. According to the Galveston News, the people of the west are quietly pursuing their business. The German s under Prince de Solms are now encamped just ‘ictoris. They are said to be governed by laws and regulations of their own, having no other intercourse with the inhabitants than is absolutely necessary to pur- chase supp! anniversary of the birth-day of Washington was duly honored at Galveston by the firing of cannon and other demonstrations. Corn on the Guadaloupe is becoming scarce,and is now worth 75 cents per bushel, with a Prospect of further in- crease of price. Thecotton crop will fallf short of the former estimate. ‘The editor of the News complains of the slowness and irregularity of the Texas mails, and then says thet he peeeally receives later dates from Washington on the otomac than from Washington on the Brazos. _ From Mexico.—By the Abiona, we have intel- ligence from Vera Cruz up to the 18th inst. Ver- bally we learn that there was no news of importance stir- ring. Santa Anna was still in prison at Peroté. Letters from the tyrant to different merchants at Vera Cruz, directing them not to give up any money of his in their hands, had been intercepted. It is stated that the 24th of February had been fixed upon as the time of ae on the trial of Santa Anna, and he is to send on his defence in writing instead of appearing in person before the Grand Jury.—N.

Anti-Rent War 1N Detaware.—The following letter, from a prominent citizen in Delaware county, gives some interesting particulars of a fresh “Indian » out-break in that county:— Deut, March 11, 1846. Dear Sir—I write hastily ake a crowd to inform ou of the state of affairs here. e following copy ofa etter just received from O. N. Steele, a deputy sheriff, now held in duress at Andes, a village about ten miles from this place, will explain itself .— Anpes, March 11. To tHe Suenirr :—Sir—We left Andes yesterday about five o’clock for Delhi, but were stopped on the road and compelled to return to this place. We are now at Hunting’s. ‘The house is now surrounded by men in disguise, about 100 strong. They intend, as near as Ican ascertain, to take my papers, tar and feather me, and pass me over tothe Middleburgh tribe. I shall never be able to reach home, unless you come over with all the force you can raise. Let every man come armed and deter- mined to do his duty or dieon the spot. Lose no time, but get here assoon 2s possible. Yours, O.N. STEELE. 9 o’crock, A. M. The messenger whom Steele fortunately obtained to bring hisletter with all possible speed, informs me that he left Steele with Charles Parker, another officer whom the Anti-Renters have teken, in @ small garret in the house into which they had been driven, retaining posses- sion of the pistols with which they were armed. This outrage is in consequence of Steele’s having lately ar- reated Squires on a bench warrant. The Sheriff imme- diately, on the receipt of the letter, commenced summon- ing a posee to go in pursuit of the rioters. Every man in the villa who can procure arms, will leave within half an hour. I have no time to describe the bee bed that are daily committed. The county isin a state of acti bellion. Yours, ko, Theatricals, do. The Hutchinson family have been very successful in Previdence during the past week. They had crowded houses each concert. A Senor Ibanes, who ls said to be a pianist ef extraor- dinary taste and execution, lately arrived at New Orleans from Spain. Many of the delit@inte of New Orleans, who have heard him, are loud and enthusiastic in his praise. The Misses Sloman are proving highly attractive in Baltimore.

Friday, March 14—6 P. M. Quotations for stocks are still tending downwards. Se- veral of the heaviest operators are bearing the market,and the general impression seems to be that prices muat be- come still further reduced. The transactions were not very large to-day at either board. Stonington declined l percent; Norwich & Worcester }; Erie Railroad}; Morris Canal 4; Canton 3; Long Isiand 3; Farmer's 3; Pennsylvania 6's 3; Illinois 3. There is yet a very large Sor eed for a decline, before many fancy stocks find a level corresponding with their value. The abun- dance of capital, and the'easy state of the money market,do not havea very favorable influence upon stock quotations. It is the apprehension that many feel as to the future, that prevents them from operating. ‘The banks conti the stock market toa great extent, and the oj ns of these institutions are so little to be de] u that speculators prefer withdrawing from the market alto- er, just previous to the @ quarterly returns are made out, than become involved in transactions subject to the caprice or whim of a few bank directors, who from time to time are bulls and bears according to the extent of the facilities the banks afford them. ‘The value of merchandise exported from this port for the week ending the 14th inst., amounts to $351,560 76.

The receipts of the Western Railroad Company, for the week ending March 8th, 1845, compared with those for the corresponding week in 1944, show but a very slight in- crease. This can, in a measure, be attributed to the fact that the North river was closed at this time last year, and freight for Boston was transported over the Western Road. instead of coming down the river.

Another cause for the increased importation in 1843, compared with 1844, was the impres- sion that existed at that time that the next session of Con- gress would place aduty upon tea. The same impression existed in relation to coffee, and large rtations of that article took place simultaneously with tea. The idea of placing a duty upon these articles is now abandoned, and the importations have been reduced to correspond more with the actual demand than before.

There very limited demand and quotations for sterling bills rule at 9} a 10 per cent premium. ¢ supply of eotton bills in tne market is quite large, but those ‘ing remittances are atraid to touch them, not knowing the responsibility of the houses drawing. ‘This time lest year sterling bilis were selling at 8 to 8} per cent premium; now they com. mand 9}410,and very lotely have sold at 10}. ‘Prime bills have not been so firm, or so re; for several years past, as within the last few months. This isthe case in the fuce of a large supply of bills. This time last year, cotton operators were just coming out of a great specula- tion, holders were commencing a reduction of the stock on this side by shipments, at prices averaging four cents per pound, or on a bale of New Orleans cotton of 450 pounds, eighteen dollars less then the present market rates, and at a freight equal to two dollars per bale higher. ‘These shipments reached Liverpool on a falling market and a corresponding advance in the standard of classifica- tion. Immense losses were made on these shipments by either the shippers on tbis side, or the Liverpool houses receiving the cotton, but the probability ia the losses fell upon the houses on the other side, asthey authorized their agents here and at the south, to make ad- vances to those makivg shipments to them, relying on an improvement in prices, which Lat thought must eventually be realize arry them through the’ operations safely. The lo: on many of these ship- ments have been enormous, reaching at times filteen, twenty, and twenty-five dollars per bale. A loss of ten collars ae bale last June wee Raps he amere Leet ‘any of the parties e1 in the c speculations last ae pelirin rls irres ee eaeea cases, were not worth as mauy shilling: ip) bales ofcotton. Some of these parties pped two, some four, and som many as eight and ten ousand bales, the losses on ich averaged at least eight dollars bale, making the agg! te joss immense. Aknowlelgo ofthese immense sacrifices made on shipments of cotto! last summer, has destroyed the credit of those houses drawing cotton bills, and induced those purchasing bills for remittance, to be very careful -vhat bills they pur- chased. Tho discredit thrown upon cotton exchange has enabled those who kept clear of cotton operations, ani whose credit was not affected by being invoived in any speculative movement, to command the highest rates for their bills, and to control the market. These making remittances in bebe bills ofexchange, should look par- ticularly and carefully to the namesof the houses the bills are drawn on. The drawersof cotton bills on this side are generally irresponsible, and the value of these bills depends entirely upon the standing and credit cfthe houses upon which they are drawn.
