State of the Cotton Market. Opening of the British Ports for the during the formight, Speculators had been ex- tensively purchasing. Prices had advanced con= siderably beyond the quotations of the 1st i and even over those last reported. At the close the market had taken a turn—less business was transacted, and prices had assumed a declining tendency. s The iron market was not se brisk as last re- ported; further reduced rates having been sub- mitted to for pig descriptions, buyers have been induced to purchase with more freedom. Prices of manufactured iron continued fully as high. The tea market was rather dull. | The Zenobia reached Liverpoel on the 27th, Patrick Henry on the 28th, Anglo Saxon from Boston, on the 23d. There appears fo be no mitigation in the ace counts of suffering by the famine in Ireland The amounts being raised by subscription and otherwise, for the relief of the sufferers, were, however, very liberal; and will, when applied, do much to alleviate their sufferings. We have, from France, accounts of more dis- turbances, and of the threatened famine. The French government, however, was taking active measures to avert the impending calamity. Accounts from Prussia are almost as distress- ing as those from Ireland. In the manufac- turing districts particularly, the destitution is very alarming, and robberies are of frequent occurrence. Revoturionary Spirit or Tus Aos.—We pub- lish on the outside of this day’s paper, a report.of Professor O, A Brownson’s lecture on the “ Re- volutionary Spirit of the Age,” which that cele- brated orator delivered at the Tabernacle on Thursday evening last.

This | fact was ummediately announced over the tele- raphic wires. send on the news to us, when an interruption oc- eurred between New Haven and Boston. Owing | to this we did not succeed in obtaining it till it | was too late in the evening to issue an Extra Herald. The Cambria sailed from Liverpool on the 4th inst., and her news is, therefore, fifteen days later than that received by the Sarah Sands. The intelligence will be found to be deeply in- teresting and important. The details will reach us to-day. The doings of the British Parliament were in- teresting—The three principal measures being the | entire remission of the Corn duty—the suspension of the Navigation laws, and u proposed remission of sugar duties. The report of the grain marketon the 20th ult+ left the twochief markets in England, Liverpool, and London, with a downward tendency in pri- Our agents then commenced to | ces, and the operations by eonsignees and specu- lators much more limited. Since that day, and to the 4th inst., the imports had been very exten- sive, and all through, large sales had been made. The stock of flour in Liverpool alone was esti- mated at 500,000 barrels, with a corresponding stock of grain. There was a prevailing opinion that the British corn-growers had large stocks, which, with the temporary. suspension of navigation laws, and the repeal ofthe impost duty,tended to check spe- culation, and would, it was asiumed, produce a re-action bothin prices and alsoin the extent of future operations. This action was felt in London on Monday, the 1st instant, when wheat declined from fonr shil- to five shillings per quarter. At Liverpool, on the following day, prices were four shillings per quarter lower on Indian corn, four shillings on flour, two shillings per load on wheat, since the publication of the weekly cir- cular on the 29th The cotton market had been in a very quiet condition—the sales had been limited in extent, and prices n.. .ather on the decline. On the 30th ultimo, 6000 bales, including 2000 on speculation, were sold. On the Ist instant, 5000 bales had changed hands, of which specula- tors took 1500. The business of the 2d was estimated at 2000 bales, 500 ot which were taken on speculation. On the 84 inst. there was a dull, heavy market, with prices for American generally }d. per ib. lower. Other descriptions remain unchanged. The sales amounted to about 4,500 bales, 500 of which speculators took. ‘The business consisted | of 4,000 American at 63 pence to 7}; 200 Egyp tian at 7 pence to 7j, and 200 Surat at 44 pence | to 4}. The accounts from Havre are of the Sist uit. A sudden and total change occurred in that market, in consequence of the receipt of intelligence from | New York to the 9th, which gave rise to an ani- | gnated and speculative demand, and imparted a corresponding feeling to the Liverpool market. The salesin a few hours amounted to 75,000 Cis it possible?) bales, and prices have recovered. The accounts from the manufacturing dis- tricts were still unsatisfactory. In cotton fabrics, } oly a very small business was being transact- ed, and prices very irregular. ‘The state of trade in Manchester exhibited no | material variation in the present condition of this | save a division of the Stal market from that detailed in the cirgular, save a | decline in the value of nearly every description | of cloth and yarns. Matters could not be more | unsatisfactory. ‘Transactions were restricted to | passing wants. The state of commercial and monetary affairs | since the sailing of the last steamer, had been one of extreme peculiarity and interest. ‘The large | drains upon the Bank of Bagland, to meet the de- | | mands caused by the extensive importations of | ™ grain, and all other sorts of provisions, into the | \ kingdom, d induced the Govern entto raise their rates of interest. This caused business gene rally to be dull. The market for provisions was steady. An enormous business has been done in sugars | “Look Before You Leap,” which the gagement here last evening. During the short time that this classic and beautiful danseuse has been among us, she fully sustained her high reputation as an artiste of the first meritand acquirement.

Boweny Txeatne.—Lost night Miss Mary Taylo1 made her last appearance at this popular theatre, in the charecter of Cinderella. Miss Taylor's popularity du- ring her appearance here, particularly in the character of Cinderella, has won her golden opinions; and the en- thusiasm with which she was greeted during her per- formance last evening, in no less than four different pieces, must have been gratifying to her high talents. — Iadeed, her ‘ farewell” (for thel present we hope.) at Old Bowery, showed how deeply her numerous admirers and friends telt her departure from omonget them. To- morrow evening there will be a full change of perform- ance. ‘Ivanhoe, or the Jew’s bin Paes will be pro- duced, with a powerful cast.

Bowery AmrHitHeatre.—To those who have not, as yet, witnessed the extraordinary performances at this po- pular place of evening recreation, we would merely ob- nerve, ‘go and see.” The ensuing week will positively be the lust of their present sojourn in this city, and the rich combination of attractions that the company present nightly, have drawn crowds to witness their perform- ance. The company will positively leave thecily at the end of the week.

Musical. tratian Orena.—We understand that ‘1’ Lombardi’ will probably be produced at Palmo’s Opera House, on Friday evening next. It has cost the managers more than four thousand dollars to bring out this opera. The Librettos of “l’ Lombardi” are ready, and may be had at the box office.

Brower, supported by other officers. All the distin- guished gentlemen in the city, we ai forms vited. It will be # grand and soup entery When we first heard of the immense peculations which have been carried on for years past by those officers ts whom tho people of the State had com- mitted such large interests, and upon whose integ- rity so much depended, we were loth to believe the statements ; supposing that at least there must be something to be offered in mitigation, if not in full defence of the course pursued by the canal officers, whatever that course might prove to be. But the select committee appointed by the last Assembly “‘to gate the frauds in the expenditures on the canals,” ha at length presented a very long report, signed by the whole committee. Much labor has been performed in the investigations, which have resulted in the disclosure of asystem of frauds and abuse of confidence such as seldom come to light. In relation to the charges made against the commis. sioner the committee express no opinion, but devote a chapter of their report to a statement of facts. ‘The report states that the committee have devoted their attention less to the examination of tue extent of the frauds than to their character and variety. The committee commence with the Genesee Valley Canal, They state that, Sanford A. Hooper was appoint. ed superintendent of that canal ia the spring of 1842, and continued until he resigued on the 18th of March, 1845 ; that during all thie time Orrin H. Reynolds was his clerk ; that when Hooper resignod, Reynolds was ap- inted to fill his place, and Hooper became Reynolds’ Foreman. That soon after Hooper was appointed super- intendent, and as early aa July, 1842, he and Reynolds entered upon the practice of a regular system of pecula- tion, by tho use of false and forged vouchers ; that this system was extensively and almost generally practised by them until the removal of Reynolds, by the Canal Board, in July, 1845; that their practice was to go along the canal the first of every month, pay tho men, obtain their signatures to the printed form of receipts, with the time and amount left blank, and receive the check rolls of the foremen ; thon return to their office, fill up the receipts with such amounts as they pleased, and make new check rolls to correspond. Tnese blank receipts, in sevoral instances, taken for twenty-five cents, were filled up for more dollars! In other instances, checl rolls previously sworn to, were interlined and added a list of names and days, and the amount increased accor- dingly. Forged receipts for m rly every description were presented and paid ; in one instance for 10,000 feet of lumber for a deck at Mount Morris, and this after the commissioner had directed it to be con- structed of lumber then on hand belonging to the State, ‘and while the engineer at Mount Morris was selling for Sand 33g dollars, like lumber, for which the year before the commissioner hed paid contractors from 18 to 23 dollars per thousand. And these frauds, when compared with others practised upon that canal, are said to be of small consequence, but are given to show the character of the operations. ‘The Committee further state, that in 1836, F. C. Mills, er, under the direction of the Canal Commis- sioners, made-a minute survey of the Genesee Valley canal and Dansville side-cut, and estimated the cost at $1 890 614 12—including $43,845 22 for reservoirs on the summit-leyel. The amount already expended on this canal. exclusive of damages to contractors, &c , is about $3,885,000! The estimate, by the engineers. in 1842, of the cost of completing this canal, was $1,843,303 ; mak- ing as aggregate sum of $5,728 303. A large portion of difference between the estimate by Mills, and the actual cost of this canal, the Committee attribute to the unwise and ful m: ment, in some in- stances, fraudulent connection of the engineer corps with many of the contractors. They state that at the letting of the contracts, notices were 1d, representing the stone along the line of the canal to be unsuitable for the construction of the locks, from Mount Morris to Cuba—an elevation of over nine hundred feet—and that it would be necessary to procure the stone from Caledonia for the purpose—a distance of over forty miles! The pretence for this extraordinary notice was, that in all previous surveys and examina tions, it had been represented that suitable stone for the locka could be procured slong the line of the canal, but ithad lately been de'ermined that this stone was unfit for the purpose. The contracts were taken with refer ence to this netice ; but subsequently the contractors, in nearly every instance, found suitable stone in the imme- diate vicinity, and frequently in the very bed where the locks were constructed. On many of the sections the engineers catimated too smalla quantity of quick sand, cemented clay, and gravel ‘This was soon made known, and the consequence was, that propositions, including exorbitant prices {fer which so little had been estimated, were received, and such propositions were entertained and contracts frequently made. The contract prices for ordinary excavation were from nine to twelve cents, and for quick sand but little more nsive—from seventy cents to seven dollars ir yal ind favorite contractors were paid for large quantities of quick sand, and cemented clay and gravel, at these enormous prices. The first case of fraud examined by the committee was in the letting of Rock Section 58. The testimony of the Engi ow that after the pro- ined, the r por nt Engi- neer altered the one put in by ing the amount s him the contract; that this contractor pecu- niarily irresponsible, and that the section at the prices in the proposal before it was altered according to the tables of previous measurement, would amount to about $90,000; by the altered proposition and contract prices, to $94,000. T soon after the contract was made, the Resident ae r altered his tables of mea- surement, increasing the amount of the contract to $107, 000,und subsequently,as the work progressed,he changed the classification of the material excavi d as return- edto him by the assistant engineer in immediat charge of the work, from quarried stone to rock exca tion, at the highest price—tht another way, falsely and fraudulently increasing the amount paid to this favo- rite contractor. ‘The amount paid on this contract, to this contractor, upto the time of the suspension, was $122, 000. The estimated cost, by the Engineer, of comnts this contract, is $12,000—making the actual cost of tl section $184,000—about $45,000 more than the amount of the proposition, as put in by the contractor hi Here is another and somewhat different case :— ‘The resident engineer directed the contractor for sec- | tion 71, to cut a ditch across a bend of the Genesee river, with the view of changing ed of the river. The ditch was cut from six to ten feet in width, which, by di- verting the water from the river into the ditch, washed outa new channel, nearly hi mile in length, across for which the engineer allowed him for exca- from 72 to 100 feet in width, from six th, amounting to 61,673 yards, of which sli as clay, cement and gravel, dollar rd ! 10,774 and 1,182 yards as quick:s ‘The report also describes another of these new chan- nels of about the same character. Neithet was advertsi- edand let on contract. In being so constructed the washed away about fifieon acres of valuable land, in ad- dition to the ordinary width of the river, for wifich tus owner claims paymout o/ the Stato. ‘The contractor on the Pertage Aqueduct was allowed by the engineer, and paid for excavating 636 yards of qitick-sand, at $5 25 per yard,Jamounting to $3,339, where itappears frem the testimony no. sisted. 4An instance is given where an engineer was found in possession of a paper setting forth that for certain individuals the commissioners had agreed to change the location and extend the Wiscoy feeder to Mixville, when the commissioners or engineers had no authority to extend the feeder; but State has already incurred a very great expense in carrying out, on its part, this lawlesa ugreement ; and the only con- gineors owned and had securities on lands at Mix- reason for it may be found in the allegation that the vil le. On this feeder, the engineer allowed a favorite contractor about $300 for the construction of a temporary bridge for his individual benefit, the actual cost not ex- ceeding $20. ‘The tow path through the tunnel at Portage, of about 1700 feet, was to have been a table of rock left for the urpose, according to the plan and contract ; and after it Rad been so left until the excavation of the tunnel hed been nearly completed, the engineer permitted the con- tractor to excavate the tow path also, at an expense to | the State, of $7,420, for no other reason, that the commit: tee could discover, than the fact that the contract price was $4 per yerd for excavating this tunnel, and the cost tothe contractor, as tated by himself end the engineer, was less than 65 cents per yard. ‘To the same cuutractor, the engineer paid $250 for closing the ends of the tunnel with old beards, worth about $20! The engineer also paid various contrac- tors from $50 to $100 for piling and covering lumber after the suspension, which was never done. The committee state that the engineers on this canal fre- quently estimated and allowed contractors (and for which they were at the time paid,) for large quantities of lum. ber and timber, while the trees of which it was to be Ll growing in the woods. ated in the report, that a large portion of the stone for the locks, to uscend an elevation of over 900 feet between Mount Morris and Cuba, had been quarried, and in fact dressed, at the time of the suspension, # tentified that 2 portion of the: sured when paid for by infy themselves, the committee procured the pr ident engi , in their presenc smallest pile at De Camp's quarry. It had been by three engineers together, at 233 yerds, and by the State et $290 por yard. By the moasurement of the present engineer, in presenee of the committee, and sworn to by him, there is lesa than one hundred yards of this pile, for which tho State had paid for ues 78 8 Evidence was adduced that none of the stone had been removed. At the samo quarry, 15 or 20 stacks of chimnies to laborer’s shaaties, composed of rubble and loose stones picked up—eight or ten yards in each—were mea-” sured by the Eugineers and paid for by the State ! ‘The Committee intimate the inducement and considor- ation for these and many other like cases, detailed in the report, of fraud oa the part of the Engineers, was fre- quent champagne suppers—presents to them by the con. tractors, of various articles, such as gold pencils, dec , ex- orbitant rent paid for buildings to the Engineers, the pur- chase from them of Arabian horses at monstrous prices, the trading of other horses aud the payment of more boot” than both were worth, the loan of nioney, $100 to $1000, and thy notes for which were either given up, ‘as the int ‘ation, were not collected, and, e instances, e contractors and Engineers. The tionable dealing is that many of the contractors and En- ineers have become very rich After the suspension, tho contractors presented their claims before the Canal Board for Vata they would have made if permitted to finish their contracts; and there some of the Engineers were again useful to the contractors. With so many foreinen and others employed, it was not very difficult for contractors to make outa very good claim. The Canal Board relied on the testimony or calculations of Engi- who frequently were under pay from the con tractors, at prices varying from $10 per day to from $100 to $200 per job. It is in proof in one instance, that one Engineer received, from contractors, $1300,for ‘vhe aqueduct 0 Genesee river was abandon- ed by the commissioners after the contract -was lot, and they and the contractor submitte. to the chief engineer to determine the amount to be paid the contractor for damages, without asy evidence; and he awarded $10, 000, which was paid. The committee think that the pro- fessional character of this engineer would hardly now justify this loose mode of poy ing out the public money. As to the proceedings on tho Krio canal, the committee commence by reference to the construction of a new channel, near 2,000 feet in length,for the enlarged Erie Outrageous co Corruption—The Can t Freudrm Disciosures. canal at Black Rock, near Buffalo, in 1844 ead 1846, at an ry of about $19,000, without any authority of law. ie not made of corrupt or ditures, but that the commissioners assumed rs be- longing exclusively to the Legislature. The whole work at the above cost was charged to the repairs of Black Rock pier. The committee state that the excava- ane of tion of this new channel was made under rocuring stone for the repair of the Black Erat about three-fourths the excavation was common earth, and that none of the stone procured out of the new channel after 18th October, 1844, was used on the r. Pitthe committee next refer to the construction of the dam at Tonawanda, where a Mr. Vandervoort was paid over $2,700, for less than half an ecre of gravel y from a farm of 180 accres, and which whole farm all the witnesses concur in valuing at less than $2,000 The committee show from the testimony, and the estimates, with reasonable certainty, that there was im- roperly paid to Buell and Douglass, the sum of Bea'o49-34' more than they were entitled to receive by a fair and proper constructionef the terms of the contract and specifications for work upon the double tier of locks at Lockport. This sum is made up of several items, of improper payments made, upon the decisions and esti mates of Chief E: er Barrett, with the concurrence of Commissioner Boughton, who then had charge of the work, as acting commissioner. One item of rising of $15,000 was made by a change in the classification of shale to colid rock, tncreasing the cost of its excavation 38 cents per yard. This was done after the original con- tractors poy by agreement with Barrett, the chief engi heer, (who origivally classified it as shale with slate rock.) submitted the question to Mr. Hall, the State Geologist, who decided ‘that no other name than shale could be properly applied to it, and that if it was called solid rock, there was no further application of the terms of slate rock or shale. ; ‘The decision of Mr. Hall, however, failed to save the amount to the State, and it was allowed and finally paid. Besides this, the contractors were allowed to use the stone in the old locks without any payment for such ma- terial. Other abuses are mentioned on this work. The committee show that a further improper payment of over $3000 was made to the centractors, by changing the classification of some detached excavation in the side hill. If thia bé true, the overpayment to the contractors was over $33,000. These over payments were made upon work done, and ‘are exclusive of the sum of $74,504 68, awarded to them by the Canal Board for their damages for suspending their work under the contract, or, in other words, for the profits whioh they would have made on the work re- maining to be done. Such work was estimated by Mr, Fay, the resident engineer, to amount, at contract prices, to $254,416 55. This includes the work which the con- tractors performed after the passage of the suspension act. The Legislature last May passed an act to provide for paying Buell for the work done after the passage of the act, and until fordered to stop, minus the dameges which had been assessed and paid uponit. Under that act he received the sum of $8,653 96. ‘The amounts which have been paid to the contractors for work done, exclusive of damages, are as follow, as appears by the estimates and receipts For work done, &c., up to the passage act. .

It is of great importance, and will no doubt meet with serious atten. tion, unbiased, it is to be hoped, by party feeling.

There is no change worth reporting in the complexion of the stock market. Prices fluctuate slightly from day today, but the are not to any extent. Morris Ca" nal fell off to-day at the first board 3¢ per cent, Harlem 1, Reading 3. Farm Loan went up %, Long Island 34, Mlinois Bank }4, Stonington 3s. Readiog Railroad Bonds closed firm at yesterday’s prices. Atthe second board, Harlem advanced 3, Morris Ca, nal <, with very moderate sales of each. Threesand fives of the Commercial Bank at Gratiot, Michigan, altered to Commercial Bank, Providence, R. L, are in circulation. The altered bills may be known by the following description :—The center piece of the 5's is a ship, in a circle, under cail; Stuart's Washington on the right end, and railroad cars on the left end. The 3's havo fora vignette, steamboat, ships, &c.; head of Washington on the left end, and female figure on the right end. ¥late engraved by New England Bank Note Co., Boston. Some idea of the number of vessels of all classes enga_ ged in the anthracite coal trade, may bo gathered from the fact that nearly 6,000 vessels,of an average of 200 tons burthen each, were engaged ia it during the year 1846- Of the aggregate of coal shipped from the different coal regions, there was brought over the Reading Rsilroad alone, to tide water on the Dolaware 1,230,000 tons. At the depot at Richmond, on the Delaware,there have been counted at one time over ninety vessels taking in freiguts of coal for other perts. The Old Colony is now the only dividend railroad stock in Massachusotts below par. Except this, the Nor. wich and Worcester is the only New England railroad at a discount that has paid dividends. Its last semi-or. nual dividend was three per cent in July, 1845. The net earnings in that year were five per cent, and in 1846 they were $93,000, or nearly 6 per cent on the 16,000 shares; but the unfortunate loss of the steamer Atlantic swept away $70,000 of it, and thus precluded the possibility of a dividend. Ita lo cal business is good, and it will undoubtedly re cf large accession of business from the Nashua and Worcester road, now building. In the year 1845, the stock was carried to a high’point by a speculative move- ment. A fortnight before the loss of the Atlantic, the stock sold at 64, and afterwards fell to 47. It is now as much a gambling stock as the Western road was a few years since, and will doubtless, ere long, again renew its dividends and take rank with its predecessors, which have passed through as gleomy periods. The amount of dividen since it commenced operations, seventeen years ago, one hundred and seventy thousand dollars, an average per annum, on the capital stock. ‘The Judiciary Committee of the Lower House of the lature of New Jersey, reported in relation to the Mechanics’ Bank ef Paterson, that the offic sked for an act restraining the direetors from eommencing opera- tions, under severe penalties, till $50,000 capital be paid in, in specie, or specie funds, and represented that it was their intention to renew the business in good faith, and that the capital stock remaining was about 2,200 shares, held principally in New Jersey, 600 of which belonged to the bank, and that they intend to obtain substantial capital from citizens of this Stateand New York. ‘The majority of the committee did not believe that their proposition sufficiently guards the public against fraud and mismanagement ; that if more banking capital was needed at Paterson, it would be more for the interest of the public to charter a new bank, under more favorable the public and not accomplish the purpose desired by its friends, and to grant their wish would be equivalent to granting a new charter, without the’restrictions neces- sary for the security of the public ; #0 they conclude by recommending a repeal of the charter. The minority of the committee made a’ counter report in favor of a bill granting the request. The receivers appointed by the Legislature of New Jersey to superintend the liquidation of the affairs of the Plainfield Bank, have made the annexed statement of the condition of that institution at the time they were put in possession of its assets :— Puainrieip Bax, N.
