NEW YORK HERALD. ————————— New York, Wednesday, October 28, 1846, To Our Friends, The election in this State, and in the State of New Jersey, will come on ina few days, and as usual, the public will look to this journal for the earliest returns. To enable us to give them, as soon as possible, we must ask our friends in the interior of those States, to send us by mail or otherwise, the results in their particular locali ties, as correct as they can procure them. If the full vote canrot be obtained, we would be thankful for the majorities. W'll our friends re- member this ? ‘The New City Charter. This journal exclusively, published the new City Charter yesterday, for the benefit of those | who are to pass upon it next Tuesday. To-day we publish the address of the members of the convention, and hope that all our citizens will read it, as well as the charter, so that they may vote understandingly. Tobacco Trade of the United States—Com- mercial Systems. Sometime sincé we alluded to the importance of this trade, and to the restrictions which have been placed upon it by the government of every coun- try with which we have any extensive commer- cial intercourse We pointed out the absence of reciprocity in the commercial systems of those countries which make the greatest pretensions to free trade; and until the onerous restrictions al- juded to are removed, they cannot lay any claim to that freedom of commercial intercourse so much talked of. The immense duty imposed upon this article imported into Gieat Britain, raises the average per cent duty upon our staple productions to a higher point than that impored upon the products and manufactures of Great Britain imported into tuis country With all the | complaints in Great Britain against our pretect- ive tariff, as it has been called, we approach much nearer free trade than that government does. The annexed table of prices current in the Liv- erpool market, at the latest date, with the duty charged, will exhibit the rate exacted on this ticle imported into Great Britain.

The lecture room was crowded at an early hour, and we observed a number of the city practitioners among the ‘audience. On the entrance of the faculty, they were saluted with the long-continued greetings of the class, and when this had subsided— Professor Mort arose and red a very interest- ing lecture, of which we give a hasty sketch He com- menced by congratulating the class on their safe arrival from the various sections of the country whence the had come for the purpose of spending the winter; bs Inded to the yearly increasing size of the class, as being a source sips and satis ion to the faculty, and return- ed them thanks tor the confides th owed in the in. poeta yap crete fa | he made conservative surgery the subject of his introductory, and that he regret (ed that he could not then examine ie more fully, and he purposed to de so at the present time. He had under. stood that some erroneons ideas had been formed re- specting last year’s lecture, and on that account also he wished to speak more fully of it, as he wished to stand right in the eyes ofthe profession rectus in enrial, in this as in other particulars. He then went onto say that the very foundations of surgecy rested on this principle of im of life ib, and that medicwl or con- urgery had now become so systematized that the human frame was no longer the most revolting and prominent feature instal improvement in the treatment of swellings; for- merly every affection of the knee joint that had any ap pearance of this diseaso, was at once ruthlessly umpu- | tated; now itis sono more. He also spoke ofthe great triumphs of exsection and resection of bone in commi- nuted fractures, aid the great saving of limbs that had been effected by He said, however, that vast judgment was requisite to know when to cut and when to withhold the knife; and this must be learn- ed by experience alone—books could not te: it He then went onto speak of plastic sui nd the great triumphs achieved by almost palalnen operations of the latter, lanthropic and beautiful peng surgery. His revered preceptor, Sir Astle; had instilled that precept into his mind. great names in surgery had advocated it v works of the Coopers, Delpech, Larrey, Civiale, So; and, indeed, now motto was not Delenda est Certhago, but’ Conservanda est Carthago. He would, however, comfort young aspirants for surgical honors, by assur- ing them that there was no danger of their art being curtailed—it would be always indemand. Among the rmery. he would refer to the case of the lamented Ringgold, who fell on the field of Palo Alto. It was the app! ion of the ligature which prolonged his life until be heard th glorious news of the complete su of his countr arms. The lamented Paige, too, life was preserv: by the ligature, long enough for him to receive the ap- plause ot his country; and also to meet with his devoted wife.

After the jt mt was delivered, there ‘was some confusion in court, partly owing to the cario- nity of a part of the crowd to get a sight of George, and partly to the anxiety of the negroes who were in attend- hands on him and carry him off, They suc- ceeded, in spite of the officers, in him, hur. ried through the passage and down stairv, without tllowing “him to 54 his feet onthe ground.

The stock market wears a brighter aspect. Norwich | and Worcester went up 2 per cont; Harlem 1. ‘The sales | were almost entirely confined to these two stocks Atthe second board prices fell off a fraction from | those current at the opening in the morning. The Boston money market continues exceedingly easy, and there is no difficulty in obtaining discounts at thé banks, upon first rate business paper. The Boston share market has been active, without much improve- ment in prices, with the exception of East Boston, and Norwich and Worcester stocks. Dividend stocks re- main quiet; this is particularly the case with the sound railroads, as the near approaching division of profits dis. inclines holders to part with their investments at present prices. If money continues as plenty onthe firstof Jan- uary as it is now, there is but little doubt that these po- pular and safe securities will command the present rates, with the dividends off. Most of those dividends will be four per cent, while the intervening interest for sixty days will be but one. | The Concord (N. H) Railroad Corporation has indefi- nitely postponed the consideration of assuming the con- struction of the Souhegan Railroad. The subject has created a good deal of excitement among the stockhold- ers, and 17.000 out of 20,000 shares were represented on the occasion. The majority for indefinite postponement ‘was 1726. The Concord road has been one of the most successful enterprises of the kind that was ever estab- lished in this country. It divides ten per cent annually, and its shares readily command over thirty per cent pre- mium in the market. The gross earnings last year were $228,479; the expenses $135,054—leaving $93,424 net, out of which two dividends, of five per cent each, paid on 16,000 shares, the par value being $50 each, and $13,424 added to the contingent tund. The second track laid down by the Nashua and Lowell Railroad, the past year, has greatly facilitated the business of the line, which has induced the directors of the Concord road to | construct a continuation of it between Nashville and | Manchester, and for this purpose 4.000 new shares have | Deen created and taken by the stockholders, the premi- ‘um upen whicl has been an extra dividend in effect. There is now no doubt of the railroad between Mon- treal and Troy being speedily constructed, the stock re quired to be taken up in Montreal having been nearly ell | subscribed for. All the movements made by the rail- road companies of the northern and middle sections of this State, increase the necessity and importance of a ra- pid extension of the Harlem road to intersect the great net work of iren lines, which are so rapidly spreading over the New England States, this State, and the Cana- das. When the Harlem Railroad reaches Somers, there | will bea space of only sixteen miles intervening be- | tween it and a connection with more then twelve hun- dred miles of railroad. The completion or construction of a road over that sixteon miles, would open to this city the railroads of the northern part of this State and of all New England, at all seasons of the year. How long will the citizens of New York suffer this sixteen miles to remain uncovered by an iron treck, which will open to them the trade of the interior of all New England? When there is so much epathy on the part of our capi- talists that a work like this is suffered to remain dormant, what probability is there of three millions of dollars be- ing subscribed to construct a railroad on the banks of one of the finest rivers in the world, the navigation of which is only suspended about thirty days in the year 7 ‘The capitalists of this city have expended so much mo- ney upon works of internal improvement, which have proved worthless, that it is now the most difficult thing in the world to enlist their aid in constructing works re- ally possessing merit. In about thirty days the new advalorem tarif’ goes in- to operation, and we have no doubt some very im portant alterations will be made in the system of apprais- | ing goods.
