NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Sunday, February 28, 1847. THE HERALD FOR EUROPE. The steamship Cambria will leave Boston to- morrow, and her mails will close in this city at half-past one o'clock this afternoon. The second edituon of the Herald for Europe will be issued this morning at eleven o’clock. It will contain the late important news from Mexico, as well as any other that may be re- ceived up to the time it is put to press ; also, the Rev. Mr, Giles’ lecture on the causes and reme- | dies of Irish distress ; the extraordinary correspon- dence between Governor Wright and Secretary Marcy, in relation to the California expedition ; the latest news from Washington ; the Congres- sional debates to the latest moment; interesting | correspondence ; the latest reports of the Ame- | rican markets and ship news; and a variety of | political, financial, and miscellaneous intelli- | gence. An extra edition of the Herald for Europe, with | half a dozen beautiful illustrations of Mexico, preparedon the 24th inst. fur the Sarah Sands, has been printed for the Cambria.} | Single copies of either, in wrappers, can be ob- | tained at the office at 6} cents each. | ‘The Cambria’s Malis. The steamer Governor, with the Cambria’s mails, and several passengers for the steamer, | which sails to-morrow, among whom is'M. Zani | De Farranti, the eminent guitarist and composer, | did not leave here till 7 o’clock this morning. | The weather yesterday was thick and stormy, | and at 3,o’clock in the afternoon Capt. Thayer, who is always right, concluded to hold on till this morning, as there was no prospect of getting far- ther than Hart’s Island. The steamer Worcester went out, and would go through if possible, as she is to be at Greenport to-day, to carry across the express mail, which is advertised to leave here this afternoon; but we think it doubtful if she performs the trip. The express mail will leave, however, and go threugh if possi! le. Tho Financial Condition of the} Country— ‘The Past—The Present and the Future. In the present eventful moment, when every important interest of the country is involved in | the future, we deem it particularly necessary to call the attention of our banking institutions to the claims of the commercial classes, blended with their administration of financial affairs, ang | to suggest for reflection, whether it will not best comport with their usefulness to ascertain what | degree of restriction oughtto be adopted, to keep | their issues within the bounds of consistent uni: | formity, regulating prices by a strict specie basis, the only real measure of property. From official returns for several periods, we see that their movements have’ been governed througheut with singular and creditable discre- tion, they having cautiously avoided any partici- pation in the speculative movements which have been for some time past carried to some extentin our principal staple commodities. In alluding to the propriety of the course pur- sued by our banks, in relation to our financial affairs, we must not forget to give full weight and due importance to the conservative influence of the independent treasury, threugh the influence of which, the periodical inflations and expansions which have heretofore attended the employment of the government money on deposit, have entire- ly ceased. It should also be observed that the course pursued by the banks for some time past, has not only established commercial credits upon 8 more solid foundation, but an opportunity has been afforded business men of making their com- mercial operations with more certainty of suc- cess. | These institutions will, in the long run, find | themeelves fully compensated for the legitimacy | of their proceedings; they avoid all necessity for sudden and ruinous contractions. Instead of stimu- lating speculatiox, trade has been permitted to regulate itself, and in thus conforming to sound, solid and practical principles, the general pros- perity of the country has been improved and established. As there have been no artificial means employed to keep back our produce, through the illegitimate operations of our banking institutions, we have seen a perfect harmony be- tween the legitimate wants of the commercial classes andthe natural capacity of the banks to afford legitimate facilities. As we now stand, the fiscal affairs of the community are at ease; we feel no apprehension of commercial embarrass. | ment or distress; and we have nothing in the per- | spective indicating a sudden revolution, or any change calculated to produce mercantile bank. | ruptey. In thus presenting the bright side of the past | and the present, we have only given an opportu- | nity to appreciate the advantages which we daily | experience from the conduct of the banks, in con- fining themselves to the legitimate rules of trade; | but it is our opinion that the responsibilities of these useful and'important institutions do not rest there; they have other duties to perform, of a | more difficult and embarrassing character. Itis | necessary, however, that their field of action | should be clear—that no difficulties should be | thrown in their way by legislative enactments, | calculated to perplex them, rather than prove | beneficial to the public. The financial and commercial information re- cently received from Europe, is entirely too un- certain and variable to gratify any very sanguine | expectations, or to confirm any favorable anti pations that our course of prosperity may not be | disturbed; and we might almost add, that its un- | restricted continuance would ultimately produce | the most embarrassing re-action, inasmuch as ex- | cessive profits would seriously reduce the resour- ces of external consumers; and under this appre- | hension the Bank of England has advanced the rate ofinterest and restricted its customary loans and discounts. The steady drain of specie was | the cause of much alarm and apprehension, and | although any reduction in prices for breadstuffs | cannot but be temporary, there is no doubt but | that the consumption of cotton will be very mate- rially restricted, and our exports in this way very materially reduced in the aggregate value. [fthese counteracting influences should prove inoperative, there are others which might be brought to bear on our resources, against which we have no protective power but the restrictive- ness of our money market; a policy which the banks will, no doubt, soon see the necessity of pursuing, though they may not at present recog- nise the probability that such measnres of pre- caution can be required Should our importa- tions, by any possibility, be large, and the ex- changes range high, {rom this cause, and from the | remittance of State securities to this country for | sale, the banks will soon see the necessity for a contraction. The balance of trade in our favor, as exhibited by the amount of specie must, for a time, continue large; ii wirelbsaae for the increased demand for, and the increased value o1, our breadstuffs and provisions, our short crop of cotton would make the country for 1847 | a heavy debtor it can easily be perceived from these facts, and the possibility of an unfavorable change in our | commercial position, that the future may not be | all sunshine—that there exist some grounds for | beliet that we might run too fast in the career of | speculation; and the more especially at this time | when we look forward to the period or periods | when our pablic debts shall arrive at maturity. | ‘The bonds issued by the Stato authorities, inde- | cadeat of that of the general government, are | estumated atover two hundred inillions of dol- | impunity be neglected—pay day is sure to come, | | | borrowing of so much money on the part of | the Government, absorbs private capital; and as | erm and the other on brary bas a valuable co! the faati lars, a large part of which is in the hands of {o- reign creditors, redeemable within the next twen- ty years—making an annual rage claim upon the country of about twelve millions of dollars. These are difficulties the banks will have to contend with in the course of their ordinary bu, siness, and ar of sucha nature cannot with and we must be prepared with means to meet the demands. To do this it is essentially neces- Sary that we should husband our resources, and there is no more judicious and legitimate way of | doing so than to make as the basis of our opera tions, the strictest specio value of every descrip- tion of property. In our remarks we have had particular refer- ence to the claims of the public on the banks, and we have endeavored to show that the course re- cently pursued, has been, in an eminent degree, sound and satisfactory, which gives us some as- surance that the future course of these justitu- tions will not be less legitimate or less liberal, es- pecially as their own security, under any differ- ent management, would become extremely pre- carious. Independent of the contracting influ- ence of the Independent Treasury, it must be ad, mitted that the large negotiations made by the Government cannot fail to restrict the capabili- ties of the banks to afford facilities to the commercial classes. It must be seen that the this capital is chiefly held on deposit in the bank: whatever tends to withdraw it, of course reduces the strength of these depositories. If the govern- ment put into circulation its evidences of public | debt, the security will always give them the pre- | ference over private responsibility, and in the ra- | tio of such investments there will arise a deficien- cy in the us ial accommodations afforded to the | commercial classes, unless the banks should at- | tempt to make geod the deficiency by proportion- | ate expansions, which we apprehend could‘not | with safety take place, with the specie clause ot the Independent Treasury staring them full in the | face. | When the Secretary of the Treagury shall have completed his negotiations for the loan of eighteen | millions on the 10th of April, the government will | then be a large creditor of the money market; and | should the banks attempt (o expand, or even | continue their present discount line, they may find themselves in a position of extreme embar- rassment. These institutions have their own se- | curity to look to, and any miseonception of their | ture strength may lead to the most serious disasters, | both to themselves and the public at large. Be- | lieving that their existence and that of the mer- cantile community depends upon pursuing a every variety of speculation, and in discontinuing every effort to sustain prices by affording facilities to strengthen monopoly, we trust that the future will not be marked by those exceses in commercial | shall soon find everything established firmly,upon y | a pure specie basis,and regulated by that standard dies which they have of value. i The New York Institution for the Instruc- tion of the Deaf and Dumb.

The stock marget, for several days past, has been | ather quiet, and prices have remained without any ma- | terial alteration, although the tendency has been down: | ward. It is impossible to get up any extensive move. mentin the fancies, notwithstending the strength of the parties holding them. One or two stocks, (Morris Canal and Illinois State Bank) have steadily edvanced, in the face of limited operations ; but a collapse has already takén place in the former, and we look for a reaction in the latter, notwithstanding the actual value of the stock is much beyond present prices, if there is any truth in the statements repently published. Good State stocks and other investment securities, are firm at our quotations, and we look for more uni- formity in the market value of these stocks, than has | heretofore been experienced. For some time past, prices of ell kinds of securities have been steadily settling down, | and many have reached their minimum, while others have still a wide margin for a further decline, particu- Jarly those of a fancy character. Stocks of every de- scription must, under the present financiel policy of the government, reach their level, whether that level is above or below the present quotations. The time for artificial inflations has passed, we hope, never to return i and if some ef the most worthless would pass out of sight’ it would be a consummation devoutly to be wished. ‘There are enough really good stocks in the market to absorb all the capital afloat, without touching those having no other value than that created by the operations of the bulls and bears of Wall street, There are several stocks in the market, of companies | in a state of liquidation, which are st present rather hi- | of a fancy erder, but which may ultimately be much more valuable than present prices indicate. Most | of these stoeks are absorbed by capitalists for invest. a ment, under the belief that they will pay @ very large per cent of the capital originally invested in them. Our railroad stocks, now looked upon as fancies, will without doubt continue as such for a long time, and some of them are so seriously embarrassed in their finances, that a tight money market, or any difficul- very unfortunate position, so far as the stockholders are concerned. The immense debts hanging over these companies, ready to fall uponjtheir property at any moment, must bea source of great anxiety and uneasi" | | ties in our commercial affairs, would place them in a | | | avoid bankruptcy. | There has not been much activity in foreign exchange by this packet,and since the departure of the Sarah Sands rates for sterling bills have fallen off.
