A New Article of War—How to Deal with Mexico. The Mexicans are a peculiar race, and they carry their peculiarities into every thing they un- dertake. Even war itself is tinged with those pe- culiarities, when conducted by them. All other nations except Mexico, conduct war on the same principle: d the same material; but the Mexicans jiave a peculiar kind of ammunition, besides powder and ball, which has proved very effective in times past, among themselves. Let us explain our meaning. It will be recollected that last summer, a fleet of low long black schooners, of beautiful model and finish, was built for the Mexican government by one of our most experienced ship builders in this city These vessels, among other articles of freight, took away several printing presses, fonts of type and shooting sticks, for the usé of the Mexican government. These presses formed the subject of surmise andconjecture to allwho were acquainted with their destination, and every opinion but the right one was given as to the purposes to be accomplish- ed by them. Late occurr@aces, however, have brought to light the true uses for which those Presses were used. Every one, we presume, is acquainted with the fact, that the daily revolutions that occur in Mex- ieo are accompanied with little or no loss of life or bloodshed; that one dynasty is overthrown, and other erected, in the space of a day or week, ai *equently without firing a shot, and with, comparatively, little excitement or trouble. All this is accomplished by the peculiar revolutiona- ry and military weapon they are in the habit of using on such occasions. This weapon is the press; and hence we have a solution of the pur- poses for which those printing presses were pur- chased in New York and taken to Mexico. When amilitary aspirant is desirous of supplanting the existing usurper at the head of the government, all thatis necessary for him to do, is to collect a body of followers, armed as well as possible, col- ject all the other means necessary to effect his ob- ject, arrange their adherents in military order, and with the printing press in front, take up their line of march to the capital. While on the march, the press is employed in striking off a pronwnciamento, denouncing the person then in power; and if the promunciamento of the new aspirants be success- ful in convincing the people of the necessity of a change of rulers, the revolution is complete, and the new candidate takes the place of his rival, to be superseded in time by some other adventurer. Paredes, the present military usurper of Mexi- co, is not behind his predecessors in using this great military weapon. Knowing the effect it has on his countrymen, he supposed, probably, that a pronunciamento against General Taylor, dis- tributed among the American army, would be ef- fectual to paralyze its strength, if not to cause a revolution. He accordingly tried the experiment, and his generals scattered his pamphlets in large quantities among General Taylor’s forces, direct- ed principally to the natives of Europe, urging them to betray the American flag, and go over to the Mexicans. It did not succed very well, how- ever. Now, we think that Mr. Polk and his cabinet ought to take a hint from these movements of the Mexicans, and conduct the war against them, in part, with the same kind of ammunition that they have employed in their revolutions, and more re- cently against ourcamp. They have evecy faci- lity for such purpose. The other day,the New York pilots tendered their services to the goverament, and likewise their splendid fast sailing clippers, for any emergency in the present crisis. Ifthe go- vernment will accept the services of one or more of these vessels, we will engage to furnish a splen- did double cylinder printing press, made by the celebrated house of Hoe & Co. of this city, for the purpose. We will also despatch some printers and engineers with the press, and march in front of the grand army of 50,000 men, to the capital of Mexico, striking off pronwnciamentos, in the shape of Extra Heratps, at the rate of seven thousand an hour. Let us have a printing press— & necessary article of camp equipage—as well as he Mexicans have it, and if our pronunciamentos do not demolish theirs, we will be much mista- ken. Let our Extra Heratps contain an ad- dress to the Mexican people, informing them that we come as friends, and not as enemies. That we war not with the people, but with their mili- tary usurpers and despots, and that we have marched into their country for the purpose of rid- ding them of their tyrannical rulers, and guaran- tying to them the benefits of free and stable go- vernment. This procéeding would endear the people to us—we would be hailed as deliverers, and in a short time the war would be ended, and addresses presented, by the thousand, soliciting, and even begging, to be annexed to the United States. Ifthe government will make a move in this mattag, take this suggestion, and act upon it, we will engage to fulfil our part; and the result will be the accomplishment of one of the grandest and most momentous revolutions th at ever took place in the civilized world. Tre Licensr Evectioy.—The result of the elec- tion on the 19th inst., has been highly favorable to the cause of total abstinence. Few counties, if any, have given majorities in favor of granting licenses ; indeed, we have not yet heard of one. There appears to have been very little excitement on the subject, and the temperance men have probably succeeded as much through the apathy of their opponents as from any other cause. Srzamsur Great Western.—The ship Henry Pratt, Captain Martley, arrived yesterday from Liverpool, passed onthe 11th instant, 2 P. M., when in lat. 42, lon. 59, the steamer Great West- ern, hence for Liverpool. She left this port at 3 P. M., on the 7th. —— Smtr Aowes, ror Canton.—At a meeting of the passengers and their friends on board the ship | Agnes, bound to Canton, resolutions were passed | highly praising Capt. George W. Wetherell for | the excellent equipment of his ship; also in favor of the pilot, Mr. D. A. Thomas, for his gentleman- ly conduct to all on board; and complimentary to Capt. Parks, of the steamer Richmond, for his skill in towing the ship tothe Hook. Commo: | dore Varnam and Capt. Flowers were on board. The Agnes is a splendid vessel. Exectton ron County Convention.—On the 9h of May last a bill passed the Legislature of this State providing for the calling ofa county conven- tion in this city, for the purpose of amending the present, or forming an entirely new, charter for the government of this city. By this act an election is to be held in this city on the first Monday of June next, which is also the first day of June, on which day the delegates will be chosen by the people, each ward being en- titled to a certain number of delegates, as follows: Delegates. Wards. Delegates. 1 .3 1 1 2 2 a a a +3 2 2 3 3 ee -3 —making in all 36 delegates, equivalent to two from each ward, in proportion to the population. The delegates chosen at this election, are to meet in the city of New York on the first Monday of July next, at the chamber of the board of Alder- men, and there either amend the present city charter, or form an entire new one. Their amend- ments, or new charter, are then to be'submitted to the electors of the city and county of New York, at the election to be held in this city on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November next. In case a majority of votes are cast in favor of the new charter, or the amendments, it will be submitted to the Legislature at the next session, and if approved by that body, will become the charter of the city of New-York. The principal objections to the present charter of the city are two. The first is the unequal rep- resentation of the wards—each ward, under the present charter, is entitledto a representation of two inthe Common Council—an Alderman and an Assistant. Thus, a small ward is represented equally with a large one, and these merely imagi- nary wal lines, made to cause an unequal rep- resentation. The other objection to the present charter is, that under it, the heads of the various city depart- ments instead of being elected direetly by the peo- ple, are appeinted by the Mayor and Commmon Council. This is considered@njust, as it takes the power out of the hands of the many and places it in that of a few, giving opportunity for the exer- cise of partiality and favoritism. These, with some other minor points, are the principal objections urged against the present charter; and in these, probably, will the principal alterations be made. There are no nominations for delegates yet before the people, but we presume we shall have them in a few days. Tur Magnetic Tevzorarn AND THE Press.— We now publish regularly, in our morning edition, the Southern news received in Washing- ton up to six o’clock the previous evening, together with the Congressional news of that day. Our despatches are sent from Washington to Balti- more by telegraph, and thence to Wilmington by special steam and horse express, from which point they are telegraphed to Jersey City. Ina few days we shall have an uninterrupted com- munication by telegraph from Washington to New York; and then we shall be able to give the South- ern news in full, together with a more particular report of the Congressional proceedings, simulta- neously with the Washington papers. As soon as the line is complete, vp shall have a detachment of our editorial corps perm stationed in Washington, who will {urn each day, with all the intellig the and with every thing that trans general interest, throughout one day in advance. In a fe eks the tele- graph will be extended fro. New York to Boston, and also to Buffalo; wad at each of | those points, and all the intermediate places, also, we shall have stationed, permanent edi- tors and reporters connected with this of- fice, so that each day’s paper will contain the spirit of the Southern, Western and Eastern news, up to the latest hour of the previous evening, simultaneously with the papers of | Washington, Boston, Buffalo, and all interme- diate towns. Thus New York will then be the centre of a great metropolis—a single community, comprised of the principal cities of the South, East and West. It will be a city having Boston, Buffalo and Wash- ington, and all between them, for its faubourgs, or suburbs. Steam has done a great deal for the ad- vancement of the age, by producing an increase of social intercourse among nations and communities. But the magnetic wires will produce still greater results. They will blend together into one vast community, the population of four great cities each the representative of the section of coun- try to which they respectively belong, and together comprising a population of nearly three millions of human beings, within speaking distance of each other. This will have a prodigious effect on the social con- dition of society. The rapid interchange of intel- ligence and sentiment will produce a harmony of action, rendering them, in effect, one community in interest and sentiment. Distance will be anni- hilated. Jersey City and Brooklyn will not be in | effect nearer than Washington, Boston or Buffalo, | New York, as being the centre of this magnetic circle, will be mostly benefitted by this rapid in- terchange of intelligence, Every kind of business will receive a new impetus, and the interests of every portion ofthe community will be advanced | to an immense extent. What a future! | ent 1 us, tal, of political or | whole South, A For on tHe Heart Rve.—One of the prin- cipal opponents of the American people, in the present war against the military usurpers of Mexi- | co, is the French paper, called the Courier des Etats Unis. The following is the substance of | one of its treacherous, insulting articles, to the | great nation from which it gets its bread and butter :— | The success obtained LA the American army is cess purely defensive. This army has done more than resist an assault made b; the Mexicans on the | camp which Gen. Taylor had left. But this resistance is not the less glorious, ke. The Mexicans committed an immense fault in not car- rying Point Isabel by a coup de main the very first day they crossed the Rio Grande, when their presence was ue. inj #0 unexpected, and the disaster of Thornton had caused so much dismay. They would have easily taken the | place, and the result would have been as fortunate for them as it would have been fatal to Gen. Taylor. Mas- ters of Point Isabel, they would have cut off Gen. Taylor, and prevented his receiving reinforcements, ke., by sea. The Mexicans, by their fault, have remedied the fault of the Americans. T1 —- method of their error is to make a great effort to prevent Gen. Taylor from rejoining his camp. Whatever may from now the annexation of Mexico may be regarded as & thing accomplished. 80 sensible is the popular mind of this that (droll and most characteristic .) the jour. nals already designate the candidates for Governors of Californie and of the State of Tamaulipas! Two pros- pective competitors for these posts are already men- tioned! This is selling the bear’s skin before he is killed. ‘This war, provoked by Mr. Polk, at a moment when there was danger of a war with England, is, rationally considered, a most monstrous imprudence. American Jnana: has the sentiment of destiny, and rfectly understands that kind of hunting States which the: annexation. The symptoms of this Nationivorous instinct have lately taken a curious development—a real subject St eroeennel study. Thus, since the talk of iy e Mae of the Aztecs, certain journals, chiefly those of the popular class—as the Sun, of New York—have their columns filled with details of the riches of the Mexican soil—of the mines of mercury, silver and gold. They even give a calculation in figures of their product. Pompous descriptions are also gi of the | treasures heaped up in the churches. And a journal of | Boston—that religious city par excellence—a journal | edited by an austere religious lady—remarks that the | sacred ornaments of th ite Roman Catholics aro | alone sufficient to fay all the costs of the present war— | is tempting the meanest instincts, and substituting | of | | the cr i pact tong runkenness of cupidity for the sacred fire Speaking of the brilliant prospect of American | Texas AxNExation.—We find the following pa- ragraph in one of the English papers received by the Britannia ;— “ ANNEXATION oF enadeailtion ts Customs have Teceincn atc The Commissioners of the ved & communication from the F ie Earl of Aberdeen is of ope "y be considered fa destiny, he says :— | One power alone in the world is strong enough to stoy the realization of th . | Destiny Wake ese great destinies, Brat is, England, like B: inthe scales, it Sight wil reve q e American iny willcome uy; equilibrium and weight, which is freecitiite fe thence | nent which Providence has assigned to America for its qoversign empire, throws her sword | Ly sooner or later | War ina New Quaaren—Sratement or Maz. Temrteton, Tux VocaLisT—Sxetcues OF THE Brace Mai Banpirti.—We find in the New York Express of yesterday, published among the ad- vertisements, and probably paid for as one, a statementsigned by John Templeton, 366 Broad- way, relative to certain transactions which took Place in this city during the last fall and winter, that bids fair to cause quite an émeute in certain quarters in this city, This paper seems to be a proclamation, or statement of facts, exhibiting the conduct of a certain class of individuals who wanted, like the Mexican banditti, to plunder the great vocalist out of his earnings, or in other words, to levy black mail upon him, and then to blacken his reputation in every possible way. The following is the statement of Mr. Temple- ton, which we find in the paper referred to :— Ma. Temrizton—To tae New Youx Puntic—Having just returned to New York from my Southern and Wi ern tour, I consider it rduty which I owe both to myself and to@ generous public, notwithstanding my unwil- lingness to. Appear in an egotistical character, to offer a vindication of myself from the slanderous attacks which have been made in my abse: ‘The necessity of this will appear the more urgent when I mention the fact that newspapers, from this city, charged with scurrility, and carefully marked, have been addressed to influential persons in most of the cities Ihave visited, with the view of prajudicing and poison- ing the public mind egainst me. | shall first reply to the most serious,charge—a charge abhorrent to my nature— “The betrayal of confidence.” ‘This betrayal consisted in the alleged publication by me of two letiers from Mr. McLachlan, one of the Editors of the New York Mirror. This charge | disti Shortly after in Philadelphia, distress and reque rendered in the columns of the Mirror ; conveying at the same time an intimidating inuendo.' Hesitating be- tween the contending f gs of compassion and indig- nation, | wrot line, int that he should hear from me soon; and on my arrival dn Baltimore, I des- tched my Secretary to procure me a check on New ork for transmission to Mr. McLachlan. Scarcely, how- ever, had J enclosed it, when I received another letter from’ Mr. McLachlan, reiterating the request ; and b the same post a communication froma gentleman in this city, a Mr. , demanding of me the reason of the unprovoked and scurrillous attacks in the New York Mirror, and in that department of it under Mr. McLach- lan’s control. This intelligonce opened my eyes. The treacherous lay beside mo ; and in reply to Mr. A. “fF 01 tially enclosed it with them words,— Kea) these till I return, let no one see them ; these letters wil explain to you why I am persecuted.” now dismissed the matter from my mind ; until, some time afterwards, my attention was recalled to it by the increased vituperations of some portions of the New York press—and I found, much to my surprise and annoyance, that Mr. A. , irritated by the bravado of the Mirror, had, without consulting me, taken the liberty of showing the letters, and incautiously parted with them to sub- stantiate the charge, (repudiated by the Mirror,) of ‘black mail.” In this way the letters unfortunately found their wfy into the public press. Mr. to whom I confided the letters, and who, by the way, is uncennected with the has solicited mie to abstain for the present from publishing his nam but should respectable parties feel curiosity respecting it, they may receive satisfaction by favoring me with ac at my residence, 366 Broadway. ‘This, however, is but one move ina base conspiracy, ; Mr. McLachlan is the dupe, and I the victim.

So far as rned, the whole of this preposterous statement brication, and only worthy of the source from which it sprang. ‘The gentlemen of the press, therefore, have only to thank this individual for an attempt to fasten upon their enlightened body in general, practices which exist only, if at all, among a very few of the most worth- Jess and obscure of its members. I visit this glorious continent as much in the capacity of a tourist as that of an artist, for fame and fortune were amply awarded to me in Europe, by aff enlightened and generous public. ‘With respect to a malicious statement, that I left New York without discharging my just debts, I can only sim- ply reply that to my knowledge I do not owe a cent, ei- ther in Americar Europe.

My persecutors, I regret to add, have proved to be a certain class of my own countrymen—to whom I am utterly unconscious of ha- ving given any cause for such malignant persecution, and can only impute to it ling similar to that which ac- tuated the fox in the fable. . JOHN TEMPLETON, 366 Broadway. New York, 2ist May, 1846. This is a clear and undeniable array of facts relative to the attempt made by certain persons in this city, to injure and destroy the reputation of Mr. Templeton throughout the country. Every statement here made can be proved by numerous witnesses in a court of justice. In further expla- nation of this matter, we may hereafter recall to the recollection of our readers, the developments heretofore made of this amusing and singular controversy, which is now in its crisis, like the Mexican war, and must be soon decided by the public on principles of justice and equity. This will do to-day Later From Aux Cayes.—The Tioga, Capt. Col- lins, arrived yesterday from Aux Cayes, in sixteen days passage, We are indebted to Capt. C. for the following : Affairs at Aux Cayes when we left, were pro- ‘essing to a more quiet state, though a few days Betore the greatest sxcitement prevailed, and poly ny of the white and colored inhabitants had their chests and trunks deposited on board the shipping in the harbor, ready to make their escape in case the town should be attacked by the insurgents. It seems that this war is not of a political nature, as they express no desire for any change of Go- yernment whatever. It is merely a thirst for white blood on the part ofthe insurgents. _ There were several en; ments during the time we were there, which were said to be greatly in favor of the government troops, but the reports were always so contradictory that it was impossi- ble to ascertain anything like a correctness of the loss on either side. However, they seemed to be continually retreating before the government troops, and the last report stated that they were advancing on Jeremie. In consequence of this, troops were despatched from Aux Cayes to that quarter, It was thought that in a short time the vicinity of Aux Cayes would be as quiet as any other part of the island; but the whole country is in such a state of rebellion, that it must be a long time yet before peace and quietness will be entirely restor- ed, if it ever is again under the present govern- ment. The eastern part of the Island was quiet at the last accounts, said to be owing to the low state of finances, and the rebellion amongst the Hay- tens. President Riche was expected in Aux Cayes in a few weeks, from Port au Prince. Movements of Travellers.

Brooxurn Garvey, Lats Mizitany Garven.—We un derstand a grand entortainment will be given at the above place this evening, when the equestrian compa ny, which has been performing thore, will appear for the last time. Among the membsr's of this talented company we notice the names of Gossin, North, Franklin, Whitta- ker, Stevens, and others, by which it will be seen that the highest exhibition of artistical skill may be expected. ‘The pieces to be performed are-peculiarly attractive.— The “Pride of Poland” and the “Queen of Beauty,” as per- formed by Lucinda Gossin, are particularly deserving of admiration. A grand bull fight will conclude the whole. Really, Brooklyn has stolen a march upon New York in this matter. We doubt not the amphitheatre of this splen- did and last exhibition will be crowded, both from city and country, and vicinage, Benerally. ‘The compauy will give a performance this afternoon at half past 2 o'clock, for the accommodation of the juveniles, Castix, Garoex.—Another musical soiree was given last evening at Castle Garden. These concerts are com- sed of the music of the most celebrated composers, and together with the delightful retreat Castle Garden affords, must continue to draw large houses.

Tue Keans.—Tho St. Louie Reveille of the 13th inst. says :—These truly attractive and talented performers have just concluded their fiftieth night with Ludlow and Smith. These fifty nights have been occupied between New Orle: Mobile, and St. Louis, and from them Mr. and Mrs. Kean have realized fifteen thousand dollars, being an average of three hundred dollars per night — This is truly great, and we know the statement t correct. We also know that, during this long business connection, the most agreeable relationship has been preserved between mi ers, stars, and company, and that the connection is at length severed with regret— This fact speaks well for all = , and it is refreshing to record it, inoppositionto the many accounts of pro- fessional discontents, jealousi &c. Mr. Kean, at th conclusion of the performance on Monda: dience to the eall of one of the most brill we have ever seen, appeared, and spoke as follows :— Ladies and Gentlemen—I should be doing injustice to my own feelings, andthose of Mrs. Kean, were we to leave St. Louis without some expression of gratitude for our reception, and for the great success that has attended our efforts in this city. The cordiality with which we have been received, by crowded end brilliant audiences, the courteous attention of the management, and the efficient manner in which we have been support- ed by the company, have rendered our professional tour of nearly three mon! the South and West, one of uninterrupted pleasure. Sincerely hoping that we ma; again have the pleasure of ap; fore you previ ous to our return to Europe, we now, with every feel- ng of gratitude and respect i it, take our leave. wane talented artistes appear at the Park on Monday Hear Acexanver.—This distinguished magician is now performing in Savannah, Geo., where the people are highly delighted with him.

Bold Robbery.—The residence of Mr. Edmond Simpson, the Tanager of the Park Theater, No. 115 McDougal st., was entered yesterday morning gbout 7 o’clock, by some scoundrel, and the following articles stolen :—12 la silver ns, 12 silver forks, 8 silver knives, 1 soup la and a plated fish knife, all marked E.

The servant, it appears, left the front door on the jar while she ran to the store for some eggs, and upon her return, discovered that the thief had taken like- wise the table cover from off the entry, evidently to wra] up the silver in, to prevent detection. Servants shou! be very cautious in leaving the doors open, for there is a vast number of thieves about, constantly looking out for their chances. Pawnbrokers should be on the look ou! and stop the thief, for Mr. Simpson offers a very libe1 reward for the recovery of the property and the detection of the thief. ‘est on Suspicion.—A black fellow, called Isaac Cor- nell, was “pulled” yesterday, by officer Conklin of the 3d ward, on suspicicion of being an accomplice of Peter Day, who is now in the Tombs for robbing a Mr. Bowen, some few weeks since, of $650.

Business, pleasure and health, are the great attractions which draw persons to this city and away from | it, Im the early part of the season the country merchant: | come to New York to purchase their goods ; then, as it grows warmer, our citizens must go to or Nia- r 1 fall made by the country | merchants; and so the boats are kept crowded continually. | There are now twelve boats ru regularly between | this city and Albany—of these, six belong to the People’s | Line, two to the Troy Line, and the remainder are 9) sition boats.

Meetine of Sawrens.—We understand that there was | avory large meeting of saw: he at the house of James Waring, in Houston sti teflay. Daniel ©. Sullivan was called upon to preside, and James Barrett was appointed Secretary. From the tenor of the resolu- tions presented and adopted, and the remarks of severel entlemen present, we were led to infor that the ship- uilders of New York and Brooklyn were exacting too much at the hands of those in thelr employment. We know nothing of the merits of this controversy, yet we feel warranted in stating that the meeting itself was con- ducted most properly and becomingly, and that in repre- senting their own rights they were most certainly justi- fiable ; the recommendation of a resolution; that “those | members of our craft abroad” should not be induced by | newspaper reports to leave their homes and families, with the possibility or hope of obtaining employment here, was not only most generous, but prompted by the highest possible considerations of humanity and self-re- spect. Mexancnoty Accipext.—Mr. Hogg, a miller, late of this city, had removed to Lyonsdale, Lewis Co., N. Y., and on Sunday last he went in a small boat with his sis- ter, his little son, and a son of Mr. A. W.

City papers will please copy Furrrat or Harman Kinc.—Harman King, the fire- man, the accident to whom we noticed in yesterday’s pa- | per, died yesterday morning, about 6 o'clock. His fune- ral will take place from his late residence, in Rose street, to-morrow rnoon, at 6 o'clock. The whole fire de- es are ordered out to attend the funeral.

New Yorx Muitary.—The various volunteer compa. | | Market Hall, for the purpose of mi preparations for | answering the cell of their country without delay. | Strawpernixs.—We have seen some fine strawberries of excellent quality -and flavor, at Green and Merce: Saloon, corner of Ann and streets, and can cor mend them with much pleasure, to the admirers of this delicious fruit. For this early season they may be con- sidered most superior. They were perchased ‘at Jersey city ; but the name ofthe person who has grown them we did not learn. It is creditable, however, to that ris- ing city, to be thus so early in the market with some of its luxurious products. They are sold for twelve cents r measure. eos fire was discovered yesterday morning about two o'clock, in the wheelwright shop of Mr. Tompkins, in Eldridge st. Before the firemen could extinguish it the flames had reached to an adjoining Slaughterhouse, which was consumed, together with four cattle. Accipent.—A man named Richard White was thrown from his wagon on Thursday evening, and considerably injured. He was taken to officer B, Cambell.

Ina short time, she was taken with violent vomiting. Upon be’ questioned as to what she had taken, she stated arse: A Dr. Burke w: sent for, who administered some medicine, which ga’ no relief whatever. Finally, the stomach pump was sorted to by Dr. Downs, but all without effect, and this unfortuate creature died, in extreme agony, at 3 o'clock | the same day. It seems sho was a woman of loose charac- | ter, and committed this rash act, no doubt, under tempo- | rary derangement.

MONEY MARKET. Friday, May 226 P. M. There was a very great improvement to-day in the stock market, and quotations for the fancies, in some in* stances, went up one and one anda half percent. Har lem advanced 1} per cent, Reading 1}, Nerwich and Worcester 1, Morris Canal 7, Farmers’ Loan }, Pennsyl vania 6's }. Long Island fell off }, and Canton 8 per cent. The decline in Canton was caused by the sales being made dividend off. This company hes declared a divi dend in scrip, sales of which were made to-day at three dollars per share. At the second board, a further improvement was made. | Harlem went up 1 per cent, Norwich and Worcester 1, and Long Island j. The sales atthe first board were large, and there isan upward tendency in prices, The advance in stocks to-day was attributed to the favorable commercial news from Europe, received by the steamer It is hardly possible, under existing circumstances, ior this improvement to be sustained. The rate of interest in the street rules too high, and the demand for money | from the commercial classes too active, to permit any im- provement in the stock market being permanent. The scarcity of money in the southern and western cities is very great, and so;much embarrassment has already been experienced in those sections, that several failures have taken place. We must soon feél the effects of this in the Atlantic cities, and, when it comes, we expect it will be severe enough to create considerable difficulty. The government must, before long, draw largely upon their deposites in the North and East, to meet the heavy | expenditures growing out of the Mexican war; and the banks will be compelled to draw in their short loans to meet the drafte, It was reported throughout the city to-day that several country banks had suspended payment; but the re- ports are without foundation. They probably arose from the announcement made yesterday, that the Lewis County, the White Plains, and the Farmers’ and Drovers’ Bank of Buffalo, had suspended, and gone into liquida- tion ; and that their notes were only redeemed at a large discount. In these war times, when a general suspension by the banks is looked upon as being inevitable, the pub- lic mind is very easily alarmed upon this point. The Bowery Fire Insurance Company has declared a dividend of 5 per cent, payable on the Ist of June. The Bartlet Steam Mills, at Newburyport, have de- Clared « semi-annual dividend of 7} per cent. ‘ The Croton Mutual Insurance Company has exploded. It has failed to pey ite losses in fall, after issuing itsown notes for about seventy thousand dollars, over and’above ats other resources, to meet all demands as they come along, and notices have been issued to those holding un- expired policies, to have them cancelled ; but nothing is said about returning premiums. It was supposed, up to the latest moment, that this company was doing a large and productive business, but its insolvency must have been known to the board of di- rectors months ago, notwithstanding which, new policies were issued, and old ones renewed, up to within twenty. four hours of the declaration of bankruptcy. This system of conducting business js, to say the least, rather of a questionable character. We can aympathise with the nnfortunate holders of scrip or stock in any company Decoming bankrupt through a series of severe losses; but we have ‘ory little confidence in any body of indivi, © sempany, sadoarring Yo maintain he
