Prices were much firmer to-day than anticipated.— ‘There was a general falling off, but it was very slight to what it was expected to be. Canton declined 1 per cent; Long Island 1; Farmers’ Loan }; Pennsylvania 5's i; Norwich and Worcester 3; Reading Railroad j; East Boston }; Ilinois 1; Morris Canal went up }, and North American Trust }. Indiana, and Vicksburg closed firm at yesterday’s prices. The Directors ofthe Boston and Worcester Railroad have declared a dividend of four per cent for the last six months, to be paid on the Ist day of January. The Merrimac Manufacturing Company has declared a semi-annual dividend of ten per cent, as usual. Its stock | 4a worth 33 per cent advance, dividends off, and is scarce at that premium. Application will be made to the next session of the New Jersey Legislature, for an act to incorporate the “Elizabethtown Steam Manufacturing Company,” with a capital of $200,000. ‘The Directors of the Lowell Manutacturing Company, at Lowell, voted to erect a new mill, 320 feet long and 200 wide, five stories high, for the manufecture of power loom carpéts. It will contain 50 Brussels and 260 ingrain looms. The receipts of the Western Railroad, for the week | ending December 17th, 1844 and ’45, have been as fol: low Westean Rar Roav.

The panic, that from time to time depresses prices of fancy stocks five and ten per cent in a day, is the re- sult of a very sensitive feeling in the public mind, in re- Jation to the position of our foreign affairs, which fluc’ tuates almost hourly, and may soon somewhat subside’ only to be renewed again with increased force, by any new rumor that may obtain currency.

Chorouses of | green, Peseaare, Ladirs, People, 50 Canton Co aim X3q | THE GREAT MORAL PICTURE, may be secured every day from 10 o'clock, A.M, impres. | and the restrictions that law will place upon the banking | natitutions of the country. Those banks holding large amounts of government funds, upon which they have | been exteniing their loans and discounts, must rapidly contract their operations, and strengthen themselves to meet any demand that may be made upon them from the | government. ‘The present session of Congress will de. vise ways and means to use up a large portion of the sur- plus revenue; and the banks are, therefore, likely to lose the government deposits at all events, whether the Sub- ‘Treasury bill passes or not. ‘The banks must con- tract, and the money market will feel the effect of that movement very severely at this timo, as there have been very great speculations in all kinds of breadstufl#, and immense quantaties are now held by | the first buyers, in anticipation of advices from | curope favorable to an advance in prices, at great sacrifices in raising money. Several of these speculators have failed, not being able to sustain themselves against the recent restrictions in the money market. ‘There are many others standing upon the verge of bankruptcy, on account of their reckless speculative operations ; and unless the money'market becomes relieved, they must go by the board. ‘The panic has heretofore been confined almost entirely to fancy stock operations; and so long, ay it was confined to a war panic, its effect would have ended there, but there is now a bank panic, which is likely to bo more serious than all the war panics wo have had yet. A very sudden contraction in the movement of the banks would, at this time, produce much embarrassment among the commercial classes, and a contraction in connection with the war fever, that is so rapidly increasiog, must Produce a financial revulsion that will destroy all’ kinds of speculators, purify the commercial atmosphere, and bring about amore healthy state of things. ‘Tho banks have, for koma time past, experienced a dvainof specie. Within the pust six Weeks, OF slime te first of November, they have lost about one and a halt million of dollars, which reduces the amount on hand to about six millions of dollars. ‘The demand for specie comes from the South, wheie it is required to purchase cotton and breadstufs. it will ultimately come back through the western country, but not until it has been generally circulated among the producers of that sec- tion. These things have a very great effect upon com- mercial matters, and check even a healthy expansion of credits and trade. loans on stock securities very materially, in conse quence of the general reduction of prices and of the great decrease in the margins upon which adyances were made. ‘The war panic, in reducing quotations for fancy s.ocks, has been one great cavse of the contraction in stock loans; and the probable passage | of the Sub Treasury law, and the demand from the South for specie, have been the causes for the general contraction of the banks in all their lines of discount. It appears, therefore, that there are a variety of causes for the present and anticipated restrictions in the money market ; causes that aro not likely to be removed very soon, and causes that will, without doubt, increase the difficulties as they become developed. We do not look for any improvement in our financial or commercial affairs for many months—not until after Congress ad- Journs ; at all events, not until our foreign relations be- come moze settled than they are at present. Independent of the numerous local causes that tend to dep sess the various markets, there is one full as impor- ‘ant Il the rest—one that will for the time produce an immense deal of excitement among all classes, and in al parts of the commercial world; but one that will wlti mately be removed without resorting to those measures many anticipate, and that is the Oregon question. The excitement in relation to the territory in dispute between the Government of this country and that of Great Britain, this country becoming greater and greater every day. The recent movements in Washing- ton will only add fuel to the flame, and a short time will suffice to bring the press and the people of both countries to a point dangerous in the extreme. The movements of the two Governments, according to the present indi- cations, wili not partake as much of this feeling as has been predicted ; but will, without doubt, amidst the ex- citement that must surround them on all sides, arrive at some understanding upon the subject, different from any yet contemplated. It is possible that a compromise of the matter may be made, by continuing the forty-ninth degree from the East side of the mountains to the waters of the Columbia river, down the river to the forty seventh degree; thence west to Fort Nasqually, at the head of the Straits of Juan de Fuca ; thence through the centre of these Straits to the Pacific ocean. The outlet of the Straits of Juan de Fuca, is in 48 30. This gives Great Britain the entrance to these Straits, all the ports on the western and northern sides of these waters, an outlet to Frazer's , and the tract of land north of the forty-seventh degree, lying between the Columbia river and the Straits spoken of. The whole of Vancou- ver's Island becomes Great Britain’s by this arrange- mont, and it in fact divides the territory in dispute, be- tween the Columbia river and the forty-ninth degree of latitude, more favorable to Great Britain than to the United States. This compromise would give the Unite: States the navigation of the Columbia up to the forty. soventh degree of latitude, the ports on the Pacii ocean, from the mouth of the river to tho entrance to the Straits of Juan de®uca, and the ports on the western shore of those Straits. it is possible an arrangement of this nature would not be made by either party, until both countrie: are upon the eve of a rupture; but that actual hostili will be avoided by a compromise of some sort, very few can doubt. We have horetofore asserted, and we re-assert that negotiations upon the Oregon question are about being resumed. What the nature of the new instruc. tions received by the British Minister from his govern. ment is, we do not know; we simply give the fact, that negotiations have been, or soon will be, resumed ; and ‘vis fact is sufficient to give us faith in an amicable ar. sngement of the question, notwithstanding the war of words going on in the couneil of the nation, and the an- Uicipated ebullition of the British press upon the receipt of the President's message, While public attention in this country and in Groat Britain 18 occupied with the subject, our negotiations with Mexico, in relation to the purchase of fornia, are rapidly progressing, and it would not surprise us if they wore brought to a satisfactory conclusion much The banks have contracted their | I = AUCTION SALES. called the “Court of | till’ hres P.

His views reach beyond SS ectiet§ are not limited by Oregon—and itis hoped and believed that even California itself will not satisfy the lofty ambition he cherishes for the country. In all his diplomacies and negotia- | tions, there ean be no doubt he is fully sustained by the authority and the sympathies of the President. 1am inclined to think that no two men have ever lived in this country who have had such grand Mr. Govtp,one of the D paey Clerks of the House worn— Was such Deputy while Mr. M’Nulty was Clerk of the House; the report dated 7th January, 1845, ac- counting for the visbursements of the contingent fund, in thejpossession of the District Attorney, was made to the House on the day of date. Witness dismissed. ‘The prosecution read Mr. McNulty’s letter to the Speaker, introducing the report of the expenditures, and read extracts from the report, the aggregate dis- bursements amounting to $172,227 69} up to December Ist, 1845.

They are the fact of holding this office; appointed singularly favored by the spirit and tendency of the Mr. M’Nulty was elected Clerk Decem- time a balance of $150,219 40 cents in favor of the contingent fund of the House was in the treasury; additions were made on the 6th June, 1844, (M. St. Clair Clarke, former Clerk,) $5,000; 17th June, 1844, times. First, let us glance at the views they entertain of | the extension of our empire.

Grammar; Mr. Makin was Runuer of the Patriotic Bank; Mr. Bestor was Cashier; Mr. Grammar a Director; requisitions of Clerk passed to witness; process was the uniform mode; officer makes application in writing; treated o9 a requisition ; the transfer from Patriotic Bank, 22d Jan- uary, 1845, of $13,180 80, was to the treasury, brought to | clerk asa repayment by him. There was another bal- ance of $1992 paid in, in favor of Mr. Clarke. Under- | stood that the trans‘er of the thirteen thousand and odd | dollars, was made by order of Secretary of Treasury. | Itappears that the sum of $1992 was paid by Mr. Clarke to Mr. McNulty, 13th August, 1844. Bathe 15th March, 1845, credit isgiven to Mr.’ McNulty of a deposit of gain here, can really doubt this; although the | whigs will raise all the panic they can about our | foreign relations, for the purpose of throwing upon | the adminisiration all the odium of a derangement | of business, which they hope to follow the apprehen- | sions they are trying to excite. They have no other | capital to operate with—no other issue to make. | But this will be a weak resource—for so mild and | moderate is the tone of the Message, and so wisely | will Mr. Buchanan conduct our negotiations, they wiil themselves be obliged to bear the odium of all | the alarm of war they manage to spread. They will only verify the old proverb, ‘curses | like chickens, come home to roost.” The entire | object of the whig debatersthus far,during the week, | has been to crowd the democratic senators into a | declaration of war.

The wisest men in Great Britain, whose colossal power has been so long upheld by the first intellect of the world, all feel that there is a store- house full of trouble for them in the future. Super- ficial men are alwayscheated by appearances. They | suppose that so vast a nation cannot undergo revolu- tion—that so grand a fabric cannot fall. But so think nor Englishmen themselves. The greatest men in that empire see most eanges ahead, and suf- fer the deepest apprehensions. One would suppose | that Americans too might augur something from the ominous fact thata disease among potatoes is enough | to create universal alarm throughout the empire,and | cause hot words to be spoken even in Downing street.
