concentration of capital here for the purpose pent operations in these things beyond the usual demand for consumption. The accumulations of de- posites indicates an increase of means to carry out any commereial operations that may arise, and we should judge that the speculators of this market were in a better position to corner any staple production of the country than in any previous quarter. The foreign trade of this port since the first of January has fallen off very much compared with the corresponding period last year. The demand for banking facilities must therefore have been Jess from the class of merchants engaged in that trade, it is our opinion that the banks of this city are extending their facilities over a greater surface than heretofore usual. Instead of confining their favors to the business of their location, they are spreading them over the country, and similar to the Bank of England, coming into competition with the provincial banks. Monday, May 5—6 P. M. The Stock Market was rather heavy to-day and prices gave way a trifle. Long Island declined 1 per cent ; Stonington, }; Farmers’ Loan, }; Pennsylvania 5's, }; Canton, improved } per cent ; Norwich and Worcester, 4; Ohio 6's, j. The sales were very limited and the feel- ing in the street any thing but favorable to an improve- ment. The money market is not much easier, and the banks do not seem disposed to afford facilities to the brokers and speculators to the extent anticipated. When the loans were called in so largely—previous to the Ist ‘of May—those making payment were given to under- atand that immediately after the Ist, accommodations to @ greater amount would be extended, but so far ‘they have looked for them in vain, Money is worth in the street at least six per cent, and the banks are asking seven. ‘The export trade from this port appears to be increas- ing as the season advances. Should the shipments for the month be in the same proportion as for the first three days in May, the value of the exports for the month would be about three and a half millions of dollars.

Notwithstanding the many advantages derived from this rapid transportation of freight, by the producers and consumers, there are efforts making to have the law repealed. The privilege the Utica and Schenectady Railroad Company have to carry freight during the close of navigation on the canals, does not injure the revenue of the State, as tolls are paid upon the merchandise transported in this way, as though it was brought to market by the canals. There can be no argument ad- vanced in favor of a repeal of this law, strong onough to bring about the object its opponents have in view, no matter what it may be. Tuesday, May 6—6 P. M. There was very little done in the stock market to-day, and operators do not appear disposed to make transactions to any extent. Wall street was very quict, and the bro- kers seem to be satisfied with discussing the most impor- tant political questions of the day. ‘The expected news from Europe is the cause of a little excitement, but it does not lead to operations in either stocks or cotton.— Quotations were a little better to-day, but the rise did not in any case exceed a quarter per cent. Stonington went up}; Norwich and Worcester }; Erie Railroad }; Far- mers’ Loan}; Pennsylvania ’s }; Mlinois }; Canton 3; Long Island }; East Boston 4; Vicksburg and Harlem closed firm at yesterday's prices. ‘The decline in Govern- ment and good State stocks is the best criterion of the stock market, The fancies are up to-day and down to- morrow, as the strongest party of speculators may de- sire; but a steady falling off in State securities, is good evidence that the market is affected from some cause, which cannot be easily removed. This cause, so far as we are able to judge, is the position of our foreign rela- tions; and the excitement and anxiety felt in financial circles upon this subject, creates a feverish state of pri- ces and a disposition to realize on investments. ‘The receipts of the Philadelphia and Columbia rail- road company from Nov. 30, 1844, to May Ist, 1845, dis- tinguishing the receipts for April, have been as follows : Pritavetrnia ann Cotvarma Total. Am’t as per last report Do. month of April Whole amount since November tetes severe ree ees $6,254 16 43,006 52 $91,260 68 These receipts average $18,252 a month, being at the rate of $219,024 per annum. ‘The receipts from the rail- way and motive power are pretty equally divided. The Union Ferry Company has declared a dividend of three anda half percent. By the terms of its lease, it is limited to 7 per cent per annum. ‘The Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Bank of Hartford,Conn, have declared a semi-annual dividend of three and a half per cent, payable this day. ‘The value of the exports from Boston, for three weeks ending May 2d, was a little more than five hundred thousand dollars.

It will be seen by this that the larger part of the export trade of Boston is car- ried in foreign vessels. The receipts at the port of Bos- ton from customs, from January 1 to May 1, 1845, have fallen off, compared with the corresponding period in the previous yoar, nearly half a million of dollars.

Total insurance $105, 000. A meeting of the stockholders of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal was held a few days since, to take into com sideration several acts which were laid before them. A report from the President and Directors was submitted to the meeting. The acts presented requiring a vote were unanimously accepted. The following are the acts ac- cepted: An act entitled ‘An act to amend the act incorporatiag the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Com ” passed by the Legislature of Virginia on the 20th Jan ry, 1844, An act entitled “ An act to confirm an act of the Ge- neral Assembly of the State of Virginia,” &c., passed by the Legislature of Maryland on the 8th February, 1844, An act entitled “An act confirming and assenting to an act of the Legislature of Virginia,’ &c., passed ‘by the Congress of the United States, and approved by the Pro- sident on the 7th day of February, 1845, Also, an act of the Legislature of Maryland, entitled “An act to provide for the completion of the Chesapeak and Ohio Canal to Cumberland, and for other purposes.” The most important of these acts’ is undoubtedly the one providing for the completion of the Canal to Cum. berland. ‘The report of the President states that the whole cost of the Canal, as far as it has progressed, is nearly ten millions of dollars, as follow: For the acquisition of lands. $402,913 94 For the Engineer Departmen 858,951 04 For construction. . eos 9,013,837 56 Total. . $9,775,702 54 It is estimated that boats carrying one hundred tons of tonnage may navigate the entire length of the canal when completed,and also that with single locks, 6,000,000 tons, and with double locks 10,000,000 tons can be trans, ported on the canal during a navigable year. ‘The report does not state how the canal is going tobe completed, whether by money borrowed on the bonds of the compa- ny, or by contracts for the labor tobe paid for inthe the bonds themselves. A revenue from the work is an- ticipated by its friends, in a much shorter time than here- tofore deemed possible. The company are confident of obtaining security satisfactory to the Governor and Treasurer of the State, guaranteeing the transportation of one hundred and ninety-five thousaod tons of tonnage a year for five years. The transportation of amount of tonnage will give the company ,an income of $196,000 per annum, which is about $60,000 more than is neces- sary to pay the interest op the new bonds. The completion of the Ohio and Chesapeake Canal is looked upon by the citizens of Baltimore very unfavo. rably, and must ever find a powerful rival in the Balti- more and Ohio Railroad Company. The Canal Company have a loan of $1,700,000 to raise. The object of the loan is to complete the canal to Cumberland, at which place it is expected that it will secure a coal trade, the profits on which will make the proposed loan a safe in* vestment. At the last session of the Maryland Legisla- ture, the prior liens of tho State were waived, so as to make the bonds for the $1,700,000 a first mortgage debt. Very many doubts are entertained as to the value of these bonds. The Canal, even when finished to @umberland will have a formidable opponent in the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which, by means of lateral and private roads, is carried to the mouths of the mines; and from whose cars, filled there, the coal is not removed, until it is dumped into the hold of the vessel, in which it is to be exported from Baltimore. The Canal, on the contrary. must depend upon lateral roads for some ten or twelve miles from the mines to its basin, where a transhipment must take place ; and there must afterwards be a subse quent shovelling of the coal from the Canal boat to the coasting vessel, to the waste and injury of the article By acontract with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, the lateral roads and mines in connection with them will be enabled to send coal to market without in- terruption during the year, which, as is well known, can- not be done if the canalis used. Three months of the yoar, at least, this is closed by ice. We observe that the Councils of Baltimore, entering heartily into the compe- tition, propose to make the city a free port for the trans” portation of coal and other articles that would be proper tothe canal. Under these circumstances it is much doubted by many whether even the waiver of the leine of the State of Maryland, in favor of the now loan, makes it a desirable investment. It has been supposed that it might be taken by the eontractors, but this, it is said, would only make it worse ; because the contractors would have to hypothecate it to raise ready money, at much less than par, and if the contractors failed and the bonds were sold—and such things have happened—the bondholder would hold the bonds without the security on which they were based, via the eanal completed. So, it THE HOLY ANNUAL HERALD. would seem, the bonds might be even worse to lend 01 than to purchase for investment. Wednesday, May 7—6 P. M. By the arrival of the steam ship Hibernia, at Boston from Liverpool, we have commercial advices from Lon- don and Liverpool to the 19th of April,'and fourteen days later intelligence from all parts of Europe. The advices, in a business point of view, cannot be considered very important. The Liverpool cotton market was very un- settled, and prices tended towards a decline. Prices for all descriptions of American provisions have advanced in the Liverpool market, and the supplies were very light— particularly of butter—compared with the [same period last year, The London money market had improved slightly since the departure of the Caledonia. The war fever had some- what subsided; and it was the general impression in finan cial circles, after the arrival of the Cambria, that there was not so much danger of a rupture with the United States as anticipated. Consols, and other securities, improved on the strength of this opinion,and the return ofconfidence. We notice in some of the English Papers that the war clause had been inserted in the ma- rine policies; but it is our opinion that if such a statement is correct, it must have taken place upon the bursting of the shell in parliament upon the Oregon question. The public mind has since had time to get calm again, and we have no doubt marine insurance will be effected as usual. This movement shows that a greater panic prevailed in Great Britain, when the Oregon debate was made public than in this country. Our insurance companies did no insert any war clause in their policies. The commercia classes of this country treated the matter very cooly and indifferently, compared with the people of Great Britain, The European advices have not had the slightest effect upon this market. Holders of cotton are still firmin their demand for prices current yesterday. Stocks remain whhout any material alteration. Stonington, Norwicht and Worcester, East Boston, Morris Canal, Farmers’ Loan, Illinois, Vicksburg, Long Island, Mohawk, Ken- tucky and Ohio 6's, and Pennsylvania 5’s closed firm ut yesterday's prices. Erie Railroad improved }; Reading Railroad, | ; and Housatonic, } ; Harlem fell off 1 per cent. There was very little demand for American stocks, and quotations remain without alteration. We annex the offidial statement showing the nett pro- duce of the revenue of Great Britain in the years ending April 5, 1844, and April 6, 1845, with the increase or de- crease on each item.

The property tax was smaller in 1845 than in 1844, Speculations in rail road shares in Great Britain have been carried to anenormous extent. In France measures have been taken by the government to prevent a further increase of the excitement by placing restrictions upon the sales of shares. Several Americans have made large fortunes in Paris, by speculating in railway shares. The mania has been carried to such an extent inGreat Britain, that a movement has been made in Parliament to put a stop to it. A motion was made in the House of Lords, that returns be made of the number of railway bills pass ed in the last ten sessions of Parliament—the number o bills for railways now pending in Parliament—the num- ber of railway plans in favor of which the board of trade had already reported. It was stated that if a fow ofthe two hundred and forty railway bills before Parliament were to pass, at least £130,000,000 would, in the course of two or three years, be required for those speculations. Fears were entertained that a withdrawal of this immense amount from the ordinary circulation and from ordinary commercial employment, into these operations, would bring about a pecuniary crisis and mercantile revolutions, that would entail ruin upon hundreds. ‘The speculative fever has taken such strong hold upon allclasses, that it will be impossible to arrest it. The evil must provide its own remedy, and those deeply in- volved in the movement, will not fully realize the effects of this species of gambling until they find themselves ruined. When it is too late to redeem themselves, they will regret being led away by such a phantom. In- stances have been given of clergymen and other profes- sional men, investing every pound they had and could borrow, in some of the contemplated railway stocks un- der consideration in the board of trade. Every pound these people could raise, has been used to make the first payment, and when calls come tobe made on these per- sons forthe other payments, they have no means to pay them.

The receipts of the above English companies for the last half year, amount to £1,265,743—at the same rate they would be for the year $2,531,486.

The increase in the circulation of the Bank of England from March 29 to April 12th, a period of only two weeks, was £1,491,886, Within the same period the public de- posits have been reduced about three millions of dollars. These sudden changes in the movements of the bank, show that a very great demand for the money must have arisen, but whether it was a legitimate or speculative one is not known Thursday, May 8—6 P. M. Within the past two or three days, the stock market has been very heavy, but prices have undergone no very material alteration.

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{season, 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 another season sets in. We have in fact the inactivity of mid-summer upor ts in the second week inMay. ‘The money market is comparctively easy, but there is a great want of opera- tors,who have nerve enough to purchase in the face of the external difficulties that surround us, The advici 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 thegnarkets 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 a deep laid plan, which may burst upen us at any moment. The calm that im- mediately followed the stormy debate in Parliament onthe Oregon question, is portentous, and filled with mystery. Tothe eye of the world, the subject may seem to slumber, but those that are deceived, little know the spirits that wicld the de: ies 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 ina few years to Lake Michigan, and thus make another great railroad route from the Ohio to the Lakes.

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 dividead—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. Friday, May 9th, 6 P.M.

Reading» Erie, Farmers’ Loan, Pennsylvania 5's, Indiana, Mohawk, and East Boston closed firm at yesterday’s prices. Morris Canal fell off }. Quotations for the past few days have been very uniform, and the market appears to be as much | depressed, as it is possible for rumors of war and the ab- | sence of operators to make it. ‘The transactions seem to | be principally in faney stocks, and in those requiring | the smallest amount of capital to carry. The inv| activity of business generally affects the stock mat” ket injuriously, and we do not sce the slightest | possibility of getting up any speculative movement likely to improve prices or give activity to the market. | ‘There have been so many things, within the past six | months, brought to bear upon the stock market, and pri- | ces have for such alength of time been steadily declin. ing, that it is the prevailing impression that quotations | have nearly touched bottom, and that very little altera- tion in prices either way, will for a time be realized. The operations in the market are mostly in railroad stocks, such as the Long Island, Norwich & Worcester, Stoning- ton, and Harlem. The sales of Vicksburg are very small. Holders of United States Bank seldom offer their stock in the market. ‘The first bank established in Ohio, upon the indepen dent banking system, is the Bank of Dayton.

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 onthe 31st of March of $25,300.

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 inthe 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.

The increase in the receipts of the West ern Railroad Company would have been much larger than it is so far this season, had the competition on the Hudson river been less. The price of passage from Albany to ‘Boston on the Western road is $6, which with the inciden. tal expensesfon the road, makes the cost full $7. The passage from Boston via Albany in New York can be made very comfortable for five dollars, by leaving Boston in the morning by the Long Island train, passage three dollars and fifty cents, which arrives here in sea- son for passengers to take the seven o’clock boat up the river, arriving at Alhany by daylight the next morning— passage fifty cents—total passage four dollars, which, with the travelling expenses, would bring the charges up to five dollars, By this route there is a saving of two dollars, and the expenses of one night’s lodging. In the summer season the passage from Boston to Albany, an vice versa, via New York, would be preferred to th other, There is not so great a difference in the charge for 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, whether a reduction of fare would increase the receipts of the company ornot. The high fare party are in the as- cendancy and have the direction, but we are induced to beliove that the decrease in the receipts will produce some revolution in the affairs of the company, and compel them to adopt the low fare system. In every casa where the experiment has been 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- ed with increased receipts. The Western is the only com. pany which has made an advance on the first established price, or upon any reductiononce made. While the ro ceipts of every other company from week to week show an increase, this company is compelled to show a de- crease, The receipts of the Reading Railroad Com- pany exceed the most extravagant estimates. The trans. Portation of coal is much greater than anticipated, and in- creases from one week to another much more rapidly han expected. The receipts for the past four months of 1845, compared with the corresponding period in 1843, show an increase of more than one hundred per cent. Should future years present the same result compared with this, it must be one of the most productive pieces of Property in the country. Railroads must take the proce dence of Canals in the transportation of merchandise. It would be almostimpossible for a canal company to live, had it a railroad eompany to compete with, unless the le- gislature secured advantages to it.

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- tion, has fallen off within the past few weeks, and the quantity now offering ia very limited. The spring busi. is about over, and the customers from the country are thinning off. The importers and jobbers have been much disappointed in the season's trade, the sales not amounting to near as much as anticipated. The stocks of dry goods in first and second hands in this city, are large, and the supplies now coming in are so much greater than the demand from the trade, that the quantity in the market is daily increasing. The decrease in the importations into this port this season, compared with the last, has not been so great as the decrease in the trade. This would leave on hand a larger stock than we had at the same time last ‘seasen, while our foreign trade would be placed on a better basis by the reduction. The movements in specie are so limited, and the demand for any purpose so moderate, that the premium is very much reduced. We annex quotations current in this market. Quotations For Srecix.

The increase in the transportation of coal has been greater than the increase in receipts. Last year the receipts in the fall months averaged about sixty-five thousand dol- lars each; add to that amount the increase this and the increase for the corresponding months this year should be more than one hundred thousand dollars each. The transportation of coal for April, 1845, was es- timated to be 60,000 tons ; the amount carried was 52,735 8-20, ‘The monthly report of the banks of New Orleans for April,compared with March, showsa very slight increase in the aggregate movements in the institutions of that city. There has been a decrease in the amount of specie on hand, and an increase in the circulation. The increase in circulation is undoubtedly caused by the decrease in the specie on hand. The business of banking in New Orleans, has been much more limited this season than last, and the banks exhibit a determination to be govern ed in their operations by the actnal demand for facilities from the legitimate commercial classes.
