ment of the sale of ieweley, i in poten + 1 739 ine. Oct. ——————— MONEY MARKET, Sunday, Oct. 11—6 P.M. The philosophers of Wall street have not, for a long time, realized such a week of inactivity as the"one just closed. From Monday morning to Saturday night, nothing of the slightest interest transpired to give the least impe tus to business, and the market closed heavy. Some of the party papers, particularly those in the opposition, at- tempted to get up a few equibs against the government, in consequence of the visit of the Secretary of the Trea- sury to this ¢ity upon business connected with his de- Partment. It is stated by these authorities that his ap. pearance here at this time, is solely for the purpose of raising a loan of five millions of dollars, and that he has Personally applied to the banks in Wall street for a loan of that amount, upon a deposit of Treasury notes, bearing interest at the rate of six per cent; and, further, that in consequence of the embarrassed condition of the finances | of the government, the falling off in the revenue from customs, and the changes about being made in our com- mercial system, the reduction in the tariff, &c. the pro- Positions made by the Secretary have not met with any | favor, and that he has utterly failed in forming the loan required. It would appear by the statements made by the opposition press, that the Secretary had almost been | on his knees to the presidents of some of the Wall street | danke, begging for aloan. All this will do very well | just previous to an election, and it is possible, but hardly | probable, that these things may have, toa certain extent, | the effect anticipated--but there is such a small portion | of these statements true, that they lose a great deal of | their influence and weight. The government has a sur- | plus of nearly five millions of dollars in the different de- | Positories, and a balance of eight millions of Treasury | notes which it can issue at a rate of interest, if necessary, which will make them much sought after by private capitalists. With these resources, the government can- not {be very hard up; and whatever preliminary move- ments the Secretary muy have made in relation to the finances of the government, there is no foundation for the report that he has personally or directly applied to the banks foraloan. He has no authority to raise more money, on any conditions, than the amount named in the | Treasury Note bill of last July, and there is no difficulty | anticipated in raising*that amount, upon the conditions left | discretionary with the Secretary. it is highly probable, — that as soon as Congress convenes, a bill will be passed authorizing a larger and direct loan, at a rate of interest desirable to capitalists; but until that time the resources of the government will be equal to the expenditures, an the embarrassments anticipated by those desirous of pre- Judicing the public mind against the administration, will exist no where but in the brains of those predicting ruin to the country ‘We annex our current comparative table of quotations | for the principal stocks ip this market, for each day 0 the past week, and at the close of the week previous With one exception there has not been a variation in prices of one per cent, during the week, a uniformity rarely reached for that length of time.

The aggregate dividends for the ten years to | 1841, indicate the value of it as a 6 per cent investment, or the sum on which interest has been received, to have Deen only $167,662,997 69, or less then the par, by the | sum of $3,417,102 31 or $341,710 23 per annum. The amount $3,417,10) 31 was unproductive, and the interest thereon is $206,026 14 in ten years, or $20,502 61 per an: num, which hus been a loss to stockholders. The aggregate dividends for ten years, to 1843, indicate | the value of the aggregate capital to have been for that | time as a 6 per cent investment, $164,609,722 69, or the | sum on which interest has been received, or less than the par by the sum of $6,490, which has been a loss to stockholders. The difference | between these two amounts, or $3,078,176 for ten years, | or $307,817 50 per annum, which last is the depreciation | of the value of the capital, $17,110,000, of the 24 banks in| Boston in 1842 and 1843, ‘This difference, or tho dopreci- | | ation Intwo years, indicates a loss of interest to stock- | holders of $184,390 60 in ten years, or $18,439 05 per an. | num, and amounts to 1-56th of the whole capital, or 1-55th of the value of the capital in 1841. The whole deprecia- tion, $649,027 73, amounts to more than 126th part of the capital, $17,110,000. ‘The rapid increase in the trade and commerce of Bos: ton,within the past five years, has given more active em™ ployment to tho capital invested in banking operations and there are now greater inducements for placing capi | tal in these institutions than there ever hasbeen Asan | evidence of this, it isonly necessary to refer to the in, | crease of one million of dollars in the capital of the Mer- | chants’ Bank, an increase ef fifty per cent.

THE BISHOP'S PALACE STORMED. SPECIAL DESPATCHES. THE ENEMY’S GUNS TURNED UPON HIMSELF. Hasty Sketch of the Operations of the Army of | Invasion before Monterey, from the 19th to 24th September, By telegraphic despatch, we received the follow- ing highly important advices from the seat of war,which arrived in Washington city last night, | by the Southern mail, and was immediately trans- mitted to this city. It will be seen that the American army is to our already victorious arms. The intelligence is taken from the New Orleans Picaywne Extra, dated Sunday morning, Oct. 4, which was received there by the steamer James L. Day, from Point Isabel. On the 19th, Gen. Taylor arrived before Mon- | terey with a force of about 6000 men. After reconnoitering the city at about 1500 or | time he was fired upon from its batteries, his force was encamped at the Walnut Springs, three miles short of the city. | This was the nearest position at which the army could obtain a supply of water, and beyond the | enemy’s batteries. The remainder of the 19th was occupied by the | engineers in making reconnoissances of the city | batteries commanding the heights. | On the 20th, Gen. Worth was ordered with his division to move by a circuitous route to the right, to gain the Saltillo road, west of the town, and | to storm the heights above the Bishop’s Palace, | neglected by the Mexican commander. Circumstances caused his halt on the night of | the 20th, short of the intended position. On | the morning of the 2Ist instant, he continued his. | route, and after an encounter with a large body of the enemy’s cavalry and infantry, supported by artillery from the heights, he repulsed them, with loss, and finally encamped, covering the passage of the Saltillo road. | It was here discovered, that besides the fort at the. Bishop’s Palace, and the occupation of the heights above it, two forts, on commanding emi- nences en the opposite side of the San Juan river, had been fortified and occupied. These two latter heights were then stormed and | carried, the guns of the last fort that was carried | being immediately turned, with a plunging fire, upon the Bishop’s Palace. On the same morning, the 21st, the first division of regular troops, under Gen. Worth, and the vo- lunteer division under Gen. Butler, were ordered under arms, to make a diversion to the left of the town in favor of the important operations of Gen. Worth. The 10 inch mortars and two 24 pound howitzers had been put in battery the night of the 20th, on a ravine, 1400 yards distant from the cathedral fort, or citadel, and were supported by the fourth regiment of infantry. At8 A. M., on the 2ist, the order was given for this battery to open upon the citadel and town. And immediately after, the first division with the 8d and 4th infantry in advance, under Col. Gar- land, were orderéd to reconnoitre and skirmish with the enemy on the extreme left of the city, and should prospect of success offer, to carry the most advanced battery. This attack was directed by Major Mansfield, engineer ; Capt. Williams, topographical engi- neer; and Major Kinney, Qr. Master to the Texas division. A heavy fire from the first battery was imme- diately opened upon the advance, but the troops soon turned it, entering and engaging with the enemy in the streets of the city, having passed through an incessant cross fire frem the citadel and the first and second batteries, and from the infantry who lined the parapets, streets and house tops of the city. The rear of the first battery was soon turned, and the reverse fire of the troops through the gorge of the works, killed or dislodged the artillery and infantry, and the building occupied by the infan- try immediately in its rear. The first division was followed and supported by the Mississippi, Tennessee and first Ohio regi- ments. The two former regiments being the first to scale and occupy the fort, the success of the day opped. So The Mississippi, Tennessee, and Ohio regi- ments, though warmly engaged in the streets of the city for some time after the capture of the first battery, and its adjoining defences, were unable, from exhaustion, and the loss they had sustained, to gain more advantage. ‘ Aheavy shower of rain also came up to cause asnspension of the hostilities before the close of the day. The 3d, 4th and Ist infantry and the Baltimore battalion remained as the garrison of the captured position, under Col. Garland, assist- ed b; the Ridgley batteries. ‘Two 12 pounders, one 4 pounder,and one how- itzer were captured in this fort; 3 officers, and some 20 or 30 men taken prisoners. One of the 12 pounders was served against the second fort, and defended with captured ammunition during the remainder of the day by Captain Ridgley. The storming parties of Gen. Worth’s division also captured two 9 pounders, which were also immediately turned against their former owners, On the morning of the 22d, Gen. Worth con- tinued his operations, and portions of his division stormed and carried successfully the heights above the Bishop’s Palace. Both were carried by a command under Captain Vinton, 3d Artil- lery. In these operations the company of Louisiana troops, under Captain Blanchard, performed ef- fective and gallant service, and a part of Captain Vinton’s command. Four pieces of artillery, with # good supply of ammunition,were captured in the Bishop’s Palace this day, some of which were immediately turned *s defences in the city. On e evieina of 22d Col. Garland and his | again triumphant, and additional glory is’ added | 1600 yards from the Cathedral Fort, during which | which vital point appears to have been strangely | | lowed to march out with their side arms ; | cavalry and infantry be allowed to march out | with their arms and accoutrements ; that the ar- command were relieved as the garrison of the captured forts, by Gen. Quitman, with the Missis- | sippi and Tennessee regiments and five compa- nies of the Kentucky regiment. Early on the morning of the 28d, General Quit- -/man, from his position, diseovered that the 2d and 3d forts and defences east of the city had been entirelyfabandoned by the enemy, who, ap- prehending another assault on the night of the 22d, had retired frem ail his defences to the main Placea and its immediate vicinity. | A-command of two companies of Mississippi, and two of Tennessee troops, were then thrown into the streets to reconnoitre, und soon became hotly engaged with the enemy. These were soon supported by Col. Wood's regiment of Texas rangers, dismounted; by Bragg’s light battery and 8d infantry, who kept upon the enemy’s fort a constant and uninter- rupted fire from the streets, house tops, barri eides, &c. &c., in the vicinity of the Placea. The pieces of Bragg’s battery were also used with much effect far into the heart of the city. ‘This engagement lasted the best part of the day. Our troops having driven the scattered parties of the enemy, and penetrated quite to the defences of the main Placea, the advautage thus gained, it was not considered necessary to hold, as the ene- my had permanenily abandoned the city and its defences, except the main Placea, its immediate | vicinity and the cathedral fort or citadel. Early in the afiern7on of the same day, General | Worth assaulted from the Bishop’s Palace, west | side of the city, and succeeded in driving the ene- ; my and maintaining his position within @ short | distance of the main Placea, on that side of the i} city, towards evening. The mortar had also been planted in the ce- metry enclosure, and during the night did great | execution in the circumscribed camp of the ene- | my in the Placea. Thus ended the operations of the 23d. Early on the morning of the 24th, a communi- catibn was sent to Gen. Taylor from Gen. Ampu- dia, under a flag, making an offer of capitula- tion, to which the former refused to accede, as it asked more than the American commander would under any consideration grant. At the same time a demand to sur:ender was in reply made upon General Ampudia, and 12 | o’clock at noon was the hour at which the accep- tance or non-acceptance was to be communica- to the American General. Atll, A.M., the Mexican General sent, reques - ing a personal conference with Gen. Taylor, which was granted, the principal officers of rank on either side accompanying their generals. After several offers in relation to the capitula- tion of the city, made on either side, and refused, at half-past 4, P.M., Gen. Taylor arose, and say- ing he would give Gen. Ampudia one hour to consider, to accept or refuse, left the conference, with his officers. | Attheexpiration of the hour the discharge of the mortars was to be the signal for the recom- | mencement of hostilities. Before the expiration of the hour, however, an officer was sent on the part of GeneralAmpudia, | to inform the American General that to avoid the | further effusion of blood, the national honor being satisfied by the exertion of the Mexican troops, he | had, after consultation with his General officers, | decided to capitulate, accepting haa offer of the | American General. The terms of capitulation were in effect as fole lows:—That the Mexican officers should be ak that the tillery should be allowed to march out with one battery of six pieces and 21 rounds of ammunition; that all other munitiens of war and supplies should be turned over to a board of American officers ap- pointed to receive them ; that the Mexican army should be allowed seven days to evacuate the city; and that the American troops should not oecupy it until evacuated; that the cathedral fort, or citadel, | should be evacuated atl0 A.M. next day, 25th; the Mexicansthen marching out, the American garrison marching in; that the Mexicans should | be allowed to salute their flag, when hauled down; that there should be an armistice of eight | weeks, during which time neither army should pass a line running from the Ranconada through | Linares and San Fernando. This lenient offer of | the American General was dictated with the @oncurrence of his generals, and by motives of good policy. This eonsideration was due to the good defénce of their city by the Mexican army. BY THE MAILs. ‘Wasutnoton, Oct. 10, 1846. Items of the Afternoon. That old invisible beldame, Madame Ramor, had a report out last evening that Monterey was taken, and not an armed Mexican, or a musket, found in the place. Also, that overtures of peace had been received atthe State Department from Santa Anna, and that they were pronounced acceptable. In all this, no doubt, report is in advance of the despatches.
