Within the past two or three days, the stock market has been very heavy, but prices have undergone no very material alteration. At the old Board to-day, Stonington fell off } per cent; Farmer's Loan, }; Reading Railroad, 4; Long Island, }; Ohio 6's improved }, and Harlem, 4; Norwich and Worcester, Vicksburg, Morris Canal, East Boston, Erie Railroad, illinois, Pennsylvania 5’s, and Kentucky 6's, closed firm at yesterday’s prices. The transactions at both boards were to a very limited ex- tent, and the appearance of things in the street is any- thing but flattering. Business generally is very dull for the¥eeason, both in merchandise and in stocks. It is something very unusual for the lower part of the city to be so quiet as it is now. Everything is stagnant, without the slightest prospect of a revival, until anot! sets in. We have in fact the inactivity of mi upon usin the second week inMay. ‘The money market is comparatively easy, but there is a great want of opera- t0Ps,who have nerve enough to purchase in the face of the externul difficulties that surround us. The advices from Europe by the Hibernia have had no other effect upon our markets than to weaken quotations for cotton, and as they spread over the south, will probably have the same effect on the markets of that section, The warlike movements of the government of Great Britain do not have the effect upon commercial matters that is perhaps intended, or that they have upon the minds of the com- mercial classes at home. The Ministry of England are, without doubt, perfecting adeep laid plan, which may burst upon us at any moment. The calm that im- mediately followed the stormy debate in” Parliament onthe Oregon question, is portentous, and filled with mystery. To the eye of the world, the subject may seom to slumber, but those that are deceived, little know the spirits that wield the destinies of the British Govern. ment. The very silence in Parliament upon the questions of Oregon and Annexation is dangerous, while the deter- mined, steady and secret preparation and concentration of force at certain points, are sufficient to create alarm. The Guardian Insurance Company have declared a dividend of five per cent, payable on the 15th inst. Five dollar bills of the Tenth Ward Bank of New York, altered to fives on the Northumberland Bank, Pennsylvania, are in circulation. The alteration was skillfully effected except that in some of them the word “ Northumberland,” where it was introduced, had a muddy, indistinct appearance. They were dated January 18th and July 26th, of various numbers, and signed John Taggart, president ; and J. W. Priestly, cashier. The Madison Railroad Company have advertised for contractors to put the remainder of the road to Indiana- polis under way by the 24th of May. If the road be finished to Indianapolis, it will very probably be finished in a few years to Lake Michigan, and thus make another grent railroad route from the Ohio to the Lakes. The receipts of tolls from the canals of this State, to the Ist instant, from the opening of navigation, this year and last, being for this season sixteen, and for last thir- teen days, have been as anzexed :— Canat Totits—State or New Yorn. 1044. 18 Ato 30h fp il. 15 days. On all the cangls........, + $224,939 At Albany and Troy, on up freight. ~ 94,204 At all other offices, on down freight. 140,715 The daily average of the receipts in each year for the time given, is as follows Og ell the eanals, $17,303 16,303 On up freight 6,479 5,47 On dowa freight 10,624 10,636 This shows that the decreaso, equal forthe sixteen days to exactly $1000 per day, is on up freight or mer- chandise, $832 per day, and on down freight, $168 per day. The Message of Gov. Baldwin, of Connecticut, to the Legislature, represents the finances of the State to be ina very flourishing condition. There was a balance in the Treasury on the 81st of March of $25,300. The sum por” manentiy invested in stocks and applied to the civil list is $400,000. The earnings of the prisoners in the State prison for the year were $19,284 68, and the expenditures $10 982 65, being a surplus of $9,302 03. ‘Tho receipts of the Western Railroad Company do not compare so favorably with last year’s business as could be wished. For the week ending April 26, 1845, the re- ceipts from passengers were less than the corresponding week last year. ‘The receipts from freight were enough larger to affect the decrease in passengers receipts, and show in the aggregate an increase forthe week, For the ‘week ending the 3rd inst., compared with the same week last year, there has been a decrease in the receipts from freight and passengers.

Tbe price of passage from Albany to Boston on the Wostern road is $6, which with tho inciden, tal expensoson the road, makos the cost full $7. The passage from Bostonvia Albany in New York can be made very comfortablo for five dollars, by leaving Boston in the morning by the Long Island train, passage three dollars and fifty cents, which arrives hore in sea- son for prssengors to take the seven o'clock boat up the river, arriving at Alhany by daylight the next morning — passago fifty conts—total passage four dollars, which’ with the travelling expenses, would bring the charges upto fivedollars. By this route there is a saving of two dollars, and tho expenses of one night's lodging. In the summer season the passage from Boston to Albany, and vice versa,\via Now York, would bo preforred to the other. There is not so groat a difference in the charges tor the transportation of freight, but the carrying trade between Boston and Albany is principally monopolized by our propellers and schooners. It is a great question among the stockholders of the western railroad, whethor ® reduction of fare would increase the receipts of the company or not. Thohigh fare party are in the as- cendancy and have the direction, but wo are induced to believe that the dectease in the receipts will prodace some revolution in the affairs of the company, and compel them to adopt the low fare system. Inevery case where the experiment has deen tried.it has succeeded ad- mirably. Most of the other railroads of New England have from time to time reduced the fare each time attend. od with increased receipts. The Western is the only com, | pany which has made an advance on the first established price, or upon any reduction once made While the re- coipts of every other company from week to week show ‘an increase, this company is compelled to show a do- crease, dence of Canals in the transportation of merchandise. It would be almost impossible for a canal company to live, had it a railroad company to compete with, unless the le- gislature secured advantages to it. We annex a state- ment of the business on the Reading Railroad for the woek ending May 6, 1843 ; May 4, 1844, and May 3, 1845.

The estimated receipts of coal by the road forthe year 1945, was as annexed. NG RasLnoan, 1845. ip four months should amount to 137,000 tons, whereas they exceed it 4,536 tons. If the increase goes on in proportion to the amount received, the aggregate receipts for the year will be nearer nine hundred than eight hundred thou- sand tons. The transportation of this amount of coal, with the passengers and local freight, will give the company a gross income of {about eleven hundred thou- sand dollars. This is a most extensive road, and its faci- lities for the transportation of coal are sufficient to bring to market any quantity that offers. The capital of the company is necessarily large, but the immense business of the road, and the large receipts, will give the stock- holders—mor ethan an average dividend—much sooner than expected. Its receipts, even at this season, are much larger than those of the Western Railroad, which road cost more than the Reading. | 232 hhds Mb Alsop & Cl Sicilian rig Ann, Castiglia, 6@ days from Palermo, with 2380 hones ereages and lemons end 15 tons sulphur to J.

[Correspondence of the Horald.) Wasuinerox, May 7, 1845. Offce-beggars and Commisnoner of Patents—Mr. Bancroft and the Decorations of the Naval Officers Dress—His Orders to Commanders of Ships and Squadrons—Major Lewis, Ex-auditor, going to Tennessee—-Mr. Blair’s Portrait—Fair—Mr. Morse’s Magnetic Telegraph. The office-beggars here have at last found a new subject upon whom to practice their importunities— no other than the Hon. E. Burke, M. C., and now Commissioner of Patents. Mr. Burke has arrived here and assumed the duties of his office, and he is, therefore, besieged by those who have not yet been supplied with office to induce him to turn out the “ins” and put in the “outs.” How far this course will be adopted, I know not. In the meantime, the Examiner, an officer whose duties are very arduous, and require a thorough knowledge of the Depart- ment in all its branches, and has a small amount of scientific knowledge and skill, has resigned his of- fice, because he don’t get salary enough. Mr. Bancroft, the talented and gentlemanly Secre- tary of the Navy, 1 understand, willissue, in a few dayg, an order relative the deeorations on the dresses of officers of the navy, He is at present considering whether he shall accede to a request, which ia very earnestly preferred by the Lieutenants, to allow them to weara stripe of gold lace down the outer seams of the pantaloon a vhen this knotty point has been finally determined, the order will be issued forthwith. T learn also that Mr. Bancroft hi issued orders to commanders of veasels and squadrons in the navy, to make their reports to him much more comprehen- sive than they have hitherto been. They are to ac- quaint themselves as fully as possible with all sub- jects coming within the range of their observation, which will tend to throw light upon and aid the ad- vancement of inguiries into the customs, habits, characters, &c., of the people of the ports where they may cast anchor, as well as prosecute such research. es as will aid the prosecution of scientific enquiriet and add to the stock of our Revved; and they are to make fullaad ample reports to the Secretary at stated periods. ¢ A report has been spread here by some of the quid auncs, that Mr. Polk wasabout to give Major Lewis, the ex-Auditor, an office superior to that of which he has been recently deprived. This is not the case.— Major Lewis is preparing to de, from this city for Tennessee, where he eee ly. resided, and will ‘obably there commence operations in opposition to i . Polk’s administration, and as a necessary con- I suppose, in opposition to Aaron Vail Brown, the democratic candidate for Governor of that State. We shall see next August what influence he will be able toexert in that State. It is said here that General Jackson entirely disapproves of the re- moval of Major Lewis, and will back him up in Ten- neaseo. Nous verrons. v I am informed that the handsome Mr. Blair, who, asthe fiscal Editor informed us in valedctory, went to Philadelphia on business, has been prevaile upon several day serge in order to have his portrait painted J. Tulley. Only think of that! “ Beauty and the beast,” d&c. 5 The ladies of Mr. Gillis’s Church peccren of this city, are now holding a fair at the Concert Hall, on Pennsylvania Avenue, in order to raise funds.— There is a plentiful supply of knick-knack-ery, with cakes, ice creams, cotiee, dcc., dcc., and a post of- fice, where every one who enquires will find aletter remaining for them. To ensure plenty of calls for their wares, all the stands are attended by two or three handsome young ladi those whoare not e d in that capacity are quite willing to converse with you, and point out the excellence of the vari- pie StHcloa for Joong a which and linn with their pretty selves, they charge you not and only Ta cate for Raniencnt ‘i ee I learn that Mr. Morse, the inventor of the Mag- netic Telegraph, has commissioned Mr. F'leisch- man, of this city, as his agent, and he is about to make a visit to Europe, and to attempt to set forth Mr. Morse’s claims to the invention, and its superi- ority over Mr. Wheatstone’s of England, in Germa- ny, where he will endeavor to bring it into use, be- ing fully authorized by Mr. Morse for that purpose. Mi Fleischman will, at the same time,be instructed by the Commissioner of Patents, to_ procure valua- ble information, &c., for the use of the American government. I understand he is to leave this coun- try on this journey on the Ist of June. ‘Wasuinaton, April 29, 1845. Fushionable Movements at Washington—Chevalie , Wikof—Beaw Hickman—A Fashionable Mar. riage. Can you inform me what the redoubtable Cheva- lier Wikoff, Fanny’s ex-man of business, wants in Washington? Is it to sell teat I should like to know, because his claims should be attended to. A man of his parts should not go unnoticed, and I have no doubt but that the President would gladly em- brace any opportunity of winning over to the demo- cratic ranks so distinguishedan individual. At pre- senthe is in the goodly keeping of the equally cele- brated Beau Hickman, Do you know the Beau? Then I will introduce him—Mr. Hickman, Mr. Ben- nett—Mr. Bennett, my friend Mr. Hickman. My friend, as you will perceive, is a distinguished look- ing individual, usually travels behind a very fine mustache, wears a hat, brim Hocaourung $ti of an inch wide, latest Paris touch; black frock coat, ra- ther venerable and respectable, usually buttoned up to the chin when the thermometer is ing be tween 90 and 95, as in warm weather. My friend is subject to sore throat, some people have insinuated; but this isa slanderous world, you know, so let it not detract from the respectability of my friend, who is 2 most_useful member of society; he kindly takes charge of all strangers as they arrive, and introduces eeapence, them into the mysteries of Washington life, and should they wi ish to take a julep, or adozen raw, my friend i» always on hand, to save them the disagree- able n ity of eatingalone. Last evening the beautiful Miss H——-, was mar- ried to an officer of the navy; and being invited to pay my respects to the happy pair, to-day at twelve o’clock—the appointed time—I paid my re- spects to the bride, who looked as beautiful as the morning, and reclining against the window, stood ready to note the passing ecene. In the groom stood celestial happiness personified on earth; and well might he be beteyi for in her he got fortune, beauty and virtue, all combined. If he ever causes her a pang, I hope that he will be condemned to chew at one of Brown’s beefsteaks for two hours, without stopping to rest his grindere—that will be punish- Trecipelly toe te abed err} names ne Mount, Randolph and Brindley.

But I must not slight the other distinguished personages in my admiration of this one, for they come Rou ing in thick and fast.— Then enters the joyous Miss B., escorted by a train of good me aux, Capt.

The Opposition May Ball. i Last night the opposition May Ball, coronation and all, came off at the Assembly Rooms opposite to the Unitarian Church. This was given by Mr. Labbé, who has for his pupils the children of the $10 aristocracy of this city, who thinkthemeelves so much better than other folks, because they receive more money from Uncle Sam. Mr. Labbé’s ar- rangements were much superior to those at Mr. Carusi’s ball. The room is larger, the music was better, and the arrangements superior. The decora- tions were more numerous, and the arrangement of the evergreens and flowers reflected great and de- served credit upon the good taste and di ed therein. Th gee i } ¢ company was also larger fan thet at Mr. Carusi’s ; and While there ware Ornamental Shade Trees for streets wi many, and as beautiful ladies there as at = SF of fs otey, Pe, truth requires the fact to be stated, that Boquets of the most choice flowers tzatefully there were “Nt more ugly persons—absolutely and: seasous of the year. irretrievably ugly. es sad nea tecribes fespecefelty solick ae Patronage of the ladies ‘i The eee perncny Wee vere eee Ac oe y KF \d Me. | deseri as having taken place at Carusis chanien Nieves sae, Cine HE, will be prompdy atend- 1st May, the difference being that neither the ian ed to. neh ty nor her attendapts were so beautiful.

All the dances by the pupils of Mr. Labbé were admira- bly performed, and reflected great credit upon his asa teacher, and it was easy enough to see from the interest he manifested, that he was indeed an enthusiast in his profession. These dances being over, the company prepared to enter into the enjoy- ments of the evenii the music struck up fora cotillion, and the floor was immediately crowded with the devotees of Terpsichore, there being twice as many desirous of whirling in the dance, than there was room to accommodate. The ball was graced by the presence of the davwais Queen, crowned at Carusi’s on the let May, attend- ed by her maids of honor; and there were also a great number of the beauties, and also of the gentle- men present, who had attended the previous ball. It was also graced by the attendance of Mr. de Bo- disco, the Russian ter, and his beautiful lady, about whom so many superlatives have been used to describe her charms, that it would be in vain for me to attempt to find any new terms wherewith to write of her. Mr. Pageot, the French Minister, and his lady, were also there, us she professes to be one of the leaders of the ton, and is said to have been the first one to graduate the aristocracy of this me- tropolis according to the amount of salary received from Uncle Sam, whereby the recipient of $1400per annum considers himself quite above keeping com- pany with the recipient of $1000 per year, and he who receives $2000 is too aristocratic to know those who only receive $1400, &c. &c. There was Cave Johnson, the Postmaster General, also, with his wife and di ter; and, indeed, he seemed most heart delighted to watch the pranks of the youngsters, an he laughed and smiled till his face fairly shone and glistened with good humor. There was Mr. Ban- croft, too, the polite Secretary of the Navy, with his wife, whom he solemnly averred would despise him if he could not, or would not, or did not, admire the beautiful ladies present, declari it to be one of the happiest sights Be had witnessed for a long, long time. ra. Walker, the wife of Mr. Walker, the Secretary of the Treasury, was there.— So was the gentlemanly private Secretary of the President, James Knox Walker, and_ his beautiful and accomplished lady, and their inte- Testing little daughter, who looked as pretty and charming as any of the youngsters in the room. Numbers of the officials employed at this seat of government were also present; and the whole assem- blage wore a bright and brilliant aspect. And yet, though there were all the materials for enjoyment—a beautiful room, elegantly decorated—a large company, withmuch beauty and grace com) in it—a and excellent manager—yet, ites, the ball was not equal in the amount of enjoyment to that on the lat of May. This was the aristocracy ball, and therefore there must be that everlasting stiffnese—that division into, cliques which, wherever it is introduced, infallibl; destroys enjoyment. There was Miss —— want todance, but her vis-a-vis was Miss ——; and of course she could not think of recognizing her stand- , ing by dancing opposite to her, because if she did, (horrible thought) she would probably have to touch the tips of her fingers in the course of the Syoning, and it was altogether too much to expect her to demean herself by so doing, and therefore she sat down without dancing, contenting herself by the loss of the enjoyment, if it were only to be pro- cured by so tremendous a sacrifice of position as dancing, opposite to once made of the same clay as herself. Had it not been for this spirit, the materials of enjoyment were there in the est profusion, but this codfish aristocracy would de- stroy any thing and every thing like enjoyment for fear of “compromising” their position. ‘Can such ings be, overcome us like a summer cloud without our special wonder” For those, however, who do not possess there joy-dispelling thoughts of would-be-aristocracy, there was plenty of enjoyment during the evening, though witnessing the display of such a feeling acts as a drawback to sonf extent on the pleasures of the others. : So the evening progressed—the music played, and the company danced—the gentlemen were gallant and attentive, and the ladiee, or some of them rather, coquettish and flirting. T'lirtations progressed—in- cpa courtships were commenced—and some suit affairs were hastened towards a denouement—time advanced—midnight d—the room thinned of its company—the last dance was commenced—and I sloped. THe ARIEL. Philadelphia. {Correspondence of the Herald.] Purtapetram, May 8, 1848. There is little or nothing to communicate to-day. Poli ticians, except the disappointed, have made up their minds to be satisfied with the appointments, and they are now busily at work, like a swarm of bees, about the sub- ordinate offices. Henry Horn has gone to Washington about his sureties and his commission as Collector. Dr. Lehman, the newly appointed Postmaster, has not yet taken possession of his office, though it is expected he will in the course of a week or so. Among the appoint- ments, there is none which gives such universal satisfae- tion as that of the Hon. Thomes M. Pettit as U. 8. District Attorney. Henry Welsh, the Surveyor, has not yet come totown. There has been no appointment as yet for Treasurer of the Mint. Major Roach is the present incumbent, it rumor has pointed out He: ks B. Wright as juccessor. Though probable, I deem this, from the delay which has taken e, es doubtful. Thero has been a considerable case on trial in the Quarter Sessions for this two days. A man named Eam partner in one of our mosi Sala ind respec- table houses in Front street, is charged with an assault, with an intent to commit a rape ona little girl betwecn ten and eleven years of age. girl swears positively to an actual rape, the agi pton swears that thie is impos- sible, and the judge has charged that the probabilities are t the present defendant being the guilty mi re has been a difficulty in identifying him as the who mace the attempt—an attempt made in open and in the vicinity of a crowded business thoroughfare. The jury hed not agreed when this was written, and there is great excitement among the crowds who have witnessed tho trial. Our literary people are active in their labors, and pub- lishers are up and doing. Du Solle is preparing his vo- lume of Fae and it may be expected shortly. Henry B.

It discusses the necessity of moral evil, and is by one of our clearest writers. The prospect of its appearance excites cons derable interest.
