There is very little doing in the stock market. Prices With one exception, remain without any material altera- tiom, 2nd operators do not appear disposed to go very deep. ly dato transaptions. At the first Board, Illinois 6's fell of 34 percent; Canton Co. 4; Harlem 2; Reading Railroad, | 3$, Norwich and Worcester , Farmers’ Loan x. Penn. pd Long Island closed firm st Saturday’s prices. At the secend Board, the sales were confined to Nor- with and Wore ‘and Harlem, the transactions in the latrer being to some extent. We cannot account for the depression in the stock market, unless it is produced by the abseuce of many large operators. The money mar-. ‘or {+ rather tight; but there is no real cause, other then that given, for adecling in prices. The corner in Hor. Jem bas ran out, and the parties engeged a fow days singe in inflating prices, are now as actively engaged in Preseing them down, There is every prospect at pre, sent of falling to the old point, when we may look for another movement, similar to that Just perfected and | abandoned, It is probable that the bulls will now take hold of ano’her fancy, and carry that up to @ point satis. factory to those interested, when it will be permitted to drop down again to the old level.

The list embraces 71 Danks, with om oBEreRete egpital of $12,487,654. These banks have doposi'es with the Comptroller, securities to the amount of $7, 462.268, and have received from the Comptroller | Catculating notes to the amount of $6,641,756, leaving a | margin ih favor of the securities according to the valua- tion, of $820,497. From the nature and variety of these securities, we should judge that the margin was very limited, and would prove deficient in the event of fore” closures or forced sales.

The average loss on New York State stocks and bonds and mortga- ges, taken together, is abeut 16 cents onthe dollar.

Had Denmark's royal lunatic spent the last three weeks in Washington, be never would have had occasion to adjure the gods that his ‘too solid flesh would melt.” “No flesh can stand it,” as the old women say. It is here that Calvin Ed- son must have practised to attain that remarkable attenuation that made him such an * objret of in- terest” to the surgeons. Preachers here nev: talk ot the heat of the place below. The good people of this city would think it an insult to theirs understanding, to be told of any pince mere insuflerably hot than Washington. Oliver Wen- dali Holmes would never have written his Lue dicrous pogm on the effvets of the heat, if he had been (1 Washington in the month of Au- gust. He would tave found it too sad a reality to be made a jestof. The worst of it is. there is no way to cseape it—no Castle Garden to (0 to, Where you can inhale the cool sea »reeze.

One’s shadow will grow less antl it dwin- | dles down into a mere definition of a mathemati- cal right line—** length without breadth.” The President leaves for Old Point on Wednes- day next. He will stay probably until the first of September. The cabinet will then take a litde relaxation from their very arduous labors. 1e next news from the city of Mexico will be all-important. On it lays the fate of the war. If Mexico consult her own interest, the war is at an end. Should she, however, be deafto the dictites of reason, and continue to wage a causeless and u bootless warfare, her misfuriunes be upon her own head. It is for us, in such an event, to strike such a blow as will bring her to her senses. There is every reason to hope, however, that she will close with our peacetul proposition. She has made no declaration that she wishes peaee. But | information has been received, as I told you in a former lever from ® reliable, though not an official source, that she will accept a pacific proposition. That proposition is by this time in the hands of her minister of foreign affairs. We may expect in- telligence of a decisive character in @ fortnight. Tam glad to be able to inform you that the most obnoxious features of the new tariff bill—those es- pecially injurionsly affecting the coal and iron in- terest, will be essentially modified at the next ses sion of Congress. This you may consider a set- tled thing. Mr. Secretary Walker is favorable to it, and most of the southern men have promised to cheerfully acquiesce in the change. GaLviensis. Wasuinoton, Aug. 14, 1846. The Dominant Party and the, Next Presideney: In juxtaposition with the recent proceedings of | Congress, the attitude of the various democratic | aspirants for the presidency is, just now, a mat- ter of some little interest. In the rank and file in Congress there have | been two conflicting interests, co-operating with ; Such apparent harmony, that a casual looker-on would conclude there was but one. These are the Northern-Van-Buren-Wright-interest, and the Southern-Calhoun-Walker-sub division. In three great measures the latter faction have been emi- nently successful, to wit—the Oregon treaty, the” modification of the tariff, and the river and har- bor bili veto, and in three they have been measu- , rably circumvented, or overruled, to wit—in the declaration of war with Mexico, in the sub-trea- sury bill, in the curtailment of the circulation of | drafts, as originally designed by Mr. Walker, and in the land bill. There is yet one other measure which we regard as of greater moment in its fu- ture bearings than all the rest combined, in which he South were most decisively oversiaughed, namely—the two million bill for the prosecution of a peace with Mexico. This question, at the next session, will very likely be made the scape- out for all the animosities and jealousies ol the Northern division, and we warn our triends of the South to be prepared for the onsiaught. Assuming, however, for the argument, (ind not as the facts as we apprehend they will tarm up,) but assuming that this question of the metes and bounds of slavery will be quietly setued or avoided, and that the chief measures of the pre- sent session will stand unreversed till the cam paign of °48; and that a general convent ¢ the democratic party meets for the noininat rants hold to such a tribunal % . Mr. Calhoun has forswor and repndiated it in advance. He will sun independently of t dictum of the national conclave ; and this, no because of his fears of the North so much, from the evidences afforded in the Inst conven tion, of the controlling power of sheer juzeling, over the voice and choice of a large maj rity — His friends are no jugglers, and cou'd stand no chance a; st the slightof hand movements of the friends of Mr. Walker. 2. Mr. Van Buren or Mr. Wright (for Mc. Van Buren is indifferent which), may well be dubious of a congregation of polit cians of the same ma- terials as that by which a majority of nearly two-thirds for him, was transubstantiated by the power of arrangement of a single man into an unanimous vote against him, and especially when that identical man isto be a prime mover in_the new concern. 8. Mr. Walker, for his services in the Texas annexation ; in the repeal of the tariff of 42; and, in behalf of the land reduction and graduation, is @ most formidable opponent to Mr. Calhoun in the Senate, while his neutral position (in point of action at least) upon the -rivers and harbors, and upon the Oregon question, renders him equally acceptable with Mr. Calhoun in the West, and just as acceptable in the North, always excepting the State of New York. 4 4. Mr. Polk having accomplished everything for which he was elected, erspan the ‘settle- ment of the Oregon question at 54 40, having done otherwise even more than was in the programme, in plunging into an expensive war uj merely negative provocations, and then betore he has come within sight of the enemy in their own terri- tory, having asked for money to buy himself out of the difficulty, will assuredly find it expedient to whe upon his laurels, Le to his one lone declaration, in answer to the appointment ot To this letter we believe he has steadily adhered and will adhere ; and if at times the ambiguities of Father Ritchie have had a squinting four years for the incumbent, it has only been for the purpose of suppressing incipient mu or in- subordination in the camp, and to keep all under proper check until the proper time. We cannot, with the impediment thus thrown before the next national convention, ex: there- fore, a first class appointment, for the difticaltie e the same and even more widely extended than atthe last. Butler of Kentucky, Com. Stewart of Pennsylvania, or Houston of Texas, would be as likely as any others to get the concurrence of ail the factions concentrated in a Baltimore coa- vention, because while they are sit three identi- fied to some extent with every faction, they stand aloof from their quarrels, aud have excited the jealoysy of none of them. We conclude, therefore, that the presumption is warranted, that the next Democratic national con- vention from the present aspect of things, will nom- inate a second class man ; and that tuere will be at least a northern and southern independent can- didate of the same party, convention or no con- vention. w Wasutnaton, Augnst 14, 1846. Defeat of the Mineral Bill. Among the measures defented «1 the close of the session of Congress, we regret to say, was one for the better regulation of the mineral lands in Michigan end Wisconsin. {i had passed the Senate by an almost, if not qaite, unanimous vote, but would not be reported 10 the House for the went of time, unless by a vote of two-thirds of that body. Several attempts were made to re- port the bill, and it only failed by a few votes, of two-thirds, It is greatly tobe regretted that any rule of the House should thus put it into the hands of the minority to defeat a measure of such great importance, both to the government and a large cluss of enterprising individuals; tor present there is ieally no law, according to the decision of the President, goverving the mineral lands of copper and silver in Michigan aud Wis- consin ; the previous action of the Seeretary of Warto the contrary notwithstanding, = The only objection made by the minority of the House, we believe, of @ serious nature, wes the presumptive principle of the bill, just thongh any person or company of persons, would wish the expenditure of thousands in deveioping the worth of and then, after spending ‘a vein of ore,
