The conquest of the different departments in detail would be easy and bloodless; and, after all, we would have taken possession of this fine, but neglected country, with less guilty motives than those which led the French to conquer Algiers, the English to overrun India, China, and a hundred other countri the Russtans to possess them- selves of Georgia and invade Circassia — the Prussians to tyrannise over Poland, and the Aus- trians to annex Venice, Lombardy and the Po. There is nota nation in Europe, possessed of power, that has failed to make use of it; and not One that could “‘cast the stone at us.” The only excuse that England can offer for the conquest of India, and the invasion of China—or rather the only palliation is, that she has endea- vored to better their condition; and we believe she has, tosome extent, or rather to a homa@o- pathe extent, accomplished this end. Certainly, in these conquered countries, the great mass of the people have exchanged their former abject slavery for a slightly milder servitude or slavery.

Adjourned to this morning. Before Judge Ingraham. Elenor Thompson et al. vs. Jefferson Smith.—This was of millinery ‘oods out of a store in Hudson street, under the follow- ing circumstances. The plaintiffs were in the habit of sending goods to a Mrs. Cooke, who resided in Hudson street, to be made into caps, and other articles by her, and sold, and the price paid over to the plaintiff. The defendant obtained a judgment against Mrs Cooke’s hus- band, in one of the ward courts, upon which he issued an execution, put it in the hands of one of the officers, named Buckley, who levied on them, and had them sold in Chatham street, and the present action is brought to | recover their value. For the defence it was insisted that under the circumstances in which the goods were sent to Mrs. Cooke, her husband had a general interest inthe goods, and therefore they were liable to his debts, and might be seized under an execution. Verdict for plain- tiff, $101. For plaintiff, Mr. C. R. Allen; for defendant, W Sneppard. reds $ Bradley vs. Brown,—This was an action for oods sold, and delivered, in August, 1845. Brown lived nd purchased a bill of goods o! rs in this ‘city, on credit. It w that the purchase was fraudulent, and therefore t! tiffs had a right to recover before the expiration o! credit. T! vidence of fraud in the purchase, was, that defendant, shortly after purchasing the goods, sold out his store, in Syracuse, and received for it about $4300, in cash; then went on to Baltimore, where he stated that he had lost the whole amount of his money. There was no defence. Verdict for plaintiff —$20304. There were four similar suits brought egainst defend- ant; and verdicts were rendered against him in two, and cognovits were given in the other two. Counsel for plaintiff, Mr. Sheppard. Baker ve.

The salesof Harlem were to seme extent, but the transactions in the other fancies were very limited. The tendency of prices evidently is down- ward, and it is not at all improbable, but that before the expiration of this month, quotations may be several per cent below those now current. It is, however, the gen eral impression, that upon the opening of business in Au- gust, that there be aspeculative movement to some extent, and that a very greatand rapid rise in prices will be realized. Purchasers at present prices on time, ay sixty or ninety days, have a very good prospect of makjng a handsome profit, as within that time Congress will adjourn, the money market be relieved, and the va rious things regulating and affecting commercial mat. ters settled insome way. The adjourament of Congress alone, will have a very geod effect upon the stock mar. ket, and should an issue of treasury notes for ten or twelve millions be authorized, money will be much more abundant, and the market much easier. Considering the position of all things connected with our foreign trade, and with the finances of the government, quotations for ancy stocks are very well maintained, and we think that this fact affords the best evidence, that when the market becomes active, an improvement of several per cent must take place. As thetime approaches for the disposal ef the tariff by tie Senate, the excitement and anxisty increases. No one pretends to predict the result of the debate about to take place, and all kinds of speculations as to the course the Vice President will pursue in the event of his casting vote being required to settle the question, are afloat. It would no doubt be a source of some satisfaction to him, if he could avoid such a great responsibility.
