The politicians look upon itas a sort of drag chain upon that patronage hitherto enjoyed by various contractors for paving our streets; aud the Com- mon Counce! do not, therefore, intend to pay for this perpetual pavement, when the cobble stones annually furnish a goodly supply of voters. This small block of Russ pavement takes at least twenty votes from the partyin power. This, probably, gives usa clue to the motives of our corporate fathers, in tolerating the various abuses in our streets, and public thoroughfares. The Russ pavement has now been sufficiently | tested, and has given the most decided satisfac- tion to its projectors, and our citizens in general. | Itembraces two features of improvement upon the old system, which should at once recommend | its general adoption, namely—durability and | economy; for, no matter how expensive at the | outset, inthe endthe plan will prove far more li economical than the eternal ontlay of money, | which the present system of patching and piece- ing entails upon the city treasury. Itis a lamentable fact, that the fear of under- mining the great field of patronage, whieh has | been so long and so signally abused in this city—a | Patronaze which embraces the whole system of worthy of some obscure village in the ‘ Far \ West,” or elsewhere. In casting our eyes through | some of the principal streets, the state of the pavements will excite no less surprise than indig. | “ Musteat Lavell i | Hevny Hraz — This distinguished planist, who gives | | his firat concert in the United States thi ning, at the | Tabernacle. was born in Vienna. He commenced his musical studies at the age of four years, and at eight years of ege he played at a concert. given in honor of | Nepoleon. He took lessons in harmony and counter | point from the celebrated organist unten. At nine | yearsof ge he composed a sonsta, which elicited the praise of Beethoven. The young musicisn arrived in Paris in 1820, and, notwithstanding the number of com- petitors, he took away the first prizes at the academy of | music in that city. He made his first public appesrance | in Paris ata concert given by Catalani. He employed | himself for several years in various compositions, which are now among the most popular musical productions of | the age. He afterwards visited Germany, and gave so, verel concerts in the principel cities. He went to Eng land, Scotland and Ireland, and created great enthusi- asin by the beauty of his playing. He bas since resided in Paris, where he is first pianist to Louis Philippe. He has established an immense pianoforte manufactory in Paris, where instruments are constructed with the improvements made by Herz himself, and where are constantly employed three hundred workmen. He has also built a concert room, which cost about two hundred thousand dollars. He is devoted to his art, and few men have contributed so much to its advancement. He will, no doubt, receive a warm welcome this evening. Concent.—We must remind our h will gi this even- , Grand street. to sing several of his best sonos.

The extracts in today’s Herald give a sert of coup d’eu at the affairs of the world The Progress of Astronomical Sclence—Le Verrier’s Planet. We look upon every new discovery which tends to establish the practical advantages of astrono- mical science, aso much gained for the cause of human usefulness. It is, then, with great plea- sure that we readofa late discovery in astronomy, which proves that certain conclusions can be ar- rived at in that science, as well as in the purer mathematics. A young Frenchman named Le Verrier, reflect- ing upon the hitherto inexplicable changes in the position of the planet Uranus, determined to in- vestigate the cause of those changes, which had long puzaled scientific men; as after calculating the attraction of all the known bodies, it was stil] ‘egreat secret of ourcity politics. Ifour;principal reckless » found that Uranus appeared in places to which none of these attractions could have drawn it. To find outthie unknown force was the object of Le Verrier. The difficulties attending such an in- vestigation may be gathered from the fact that the diflerent forces and attractions of all the known bodies had first to be calculated, in order to deter- mine the position and magnitude of the unknown controlling foree which had made its effects ble in the varions inexplicable changes of position assumed by Uranus—for that there was some other undiscovered body, there could be nodoubr. Accordingly the young philosopher, in the soli+ tude of his chamber, worked out the problem, and det»rmined the position and magnitude of the boty which is now called by hisname. He show- ed thatthis hitherto undiscovered force which controlled the motions of Uranus, moving round the sun at twice the distance of Uranua, and having on the first of next January a longitude of $25 degrees. by Lieutenant Maury, a white star of the eighth magnitude, very near Satum. M. Le Ver- leaning over it, rendering it impossible for the | fr vier, after calculating the forces of the known planets, created a hypothetical planet, to which clear field, and ask no favor; and, with proper | in he assigned mass, orbit, period of revolution and facilities, they engage to give life-like pictures of | position, all of which he changed until a combi- nation wasobtained which gave the effects known to have been produced on Uranus. Having brought his calculations tc this point, he obtained the aid of Doctor Galle, who, on the evening of in paving, the patching and loose sort of manner in which the paving of the great thoroughfares of this city—the emperium of America—is per- peeeee are a disgrace to the age in which we ive. The Russ pavement stands out as a monu- ment of native skill and ability, and a rebuke to oar city fathers. The citizens of New York '—even had not the Corporation the power to levy the necessary tax, to defray the expenses of properly paving and improving our city—weuld cheerfully subscribe to improve Broadway—and the leading thoroughfares; and it is really mon- strous to find every effort at reform clegged by the wheels (of party, threugh fear of curtailing the immense patronage now enjoyed, from the high- es: office holder down to the street scavenger. There is no doubt buta ‘bold effort at reform wou'd strike a decisive blow at the political row- dyism that so frequently disgraces the ballot box in this city, for it is the thirst for office that forms #treets were all paved with the Russ pavement, or something like it—the contracior—the mecha- nic—the laborer, who upon the sole ground of po- litics, have been selected to work in the present careless and negligent manner, wou'd soon find other and more lucrative channels for enterpriza. What has become of the “City Reformers? If we had a party of sincere Reformers—who would make the repairs and improvementsof our city the sole text question at the ballot box, they would be supported by every respectable voter in this metropolis. It is time that our business com- munity should take a bold and decisive stand on this question, which should be agitated forthwith, previous to the next spring election.

Mr Marsh was recalled and examined by Mr. Cutting—Has made a statement from the books of the number of the shares issued from May 1843 to Decem- ber 1945; the officers of the Company claimed to issue stock under the resolutions of the directors; the amount of stock issued for that period for the bonds and debts of the Company was 710 sheres.

Witaees after tho Int of Jannary pur- Chased about two or three hundred dollars worth of the bonds. The Resolution of the 5th of sanuary, 1846, mange of the officers issuing the converted stock, was then in for the defence, subject to Mr. Cutting’s exception. The witness also stated there was a meeting of the Directors onthe 3d of January, but that no business was done, but upen reading the minutes of the meeting, it appeared there was a quorum present, that the was taken, the minutes of the last meeting read. and thet discussion upon some subject took place between the members. This was to show that the issuing of the stock was not approved of until the second meeting of, the Directors. The car wasthen summed and Judge Oakley charged the jury. He took avery elaborate review of the whole subject, and concluded by telling the jury at in his opinion, in a legal point of view, there difference between the converted stock, which was t the company could not wrong in that opin- 0 told them that in ‘eturn the bonds and ait tine designated in it.

The high prices ruling for all kinds of egricultural Produce, and the anxiety existing to get as large sup- plios as possible to the seaport markets, before the close of internal navigation, make the subject of canal and ri- ver navigation a matter of much impertance. The earliest period of opening the canals was in 1898, when the water was let in and navigation began on the ‘27th of March, and did not close until December 20th— the longest period on record—269days. The next year the canal did not open until 2d May During the past fifteen years the Hudson River has not been closed by ice at Albany less than fort; ven days, (winter of 1841 ~42,) nor has there been a stop to navigation there over 185 days, which was the case in 1842-43 The table be- low will show the time of closing the canals, and the Hudeon River, for a series of ‘Svsransion oy Cana anv Riven N _— Yorn. It wiil be observed that the river have closed simultaneously; while in others, the canals have closed two and three weeks earlier than the river. The closing of the canals is a matter of very little importance compared with ‘e closing of the river, as the railroads through the inte rior of this State have the privilege of carrying freight during the suspension of navigation; but the absence of any direct communi- cation by railroad between this city and Albany, makes the closing of the river at any time a very great griev- ance. What are the Harlem Railroad managers doing? ‘Where are the books for subscription to the Hudson Ri- ver Railroad? The Boston peop! are drawing away our Western trade, by means of their Western Railroad, very rapidly. The large shipments of corn to Great Britain, and the probability of the demand for this grain from Europe be- coming permanent, takes it a very important article of exportation; and every thing connected with its shipment cannot but be interesting to all engaged in its production orconsumption. The English practice is to measure maize orindian corn by the quarter—a quarter containing eight Winchester bushels, of 60 lbs. each, which amounts to 480 Ibs. net weight, and by this standard are prices regulated. The highest quoted price at Liverpool was 48s. per quarter, which is equivalent to $.0 663¢ U. States currency. The average weight of a bushel of cornin our market is assumed by common consent to be 53 Ibe; hence about 9 bushels are considered to be equira- Jent to an English quarter, a¢ 9 63=477, which is only 3 less than the required weight of 480 lbs., but which it probably sometimes exceeds by that amount.
