The Mexican War in an European Military Point of View—The Neutrality of England and France—Ocoan Steam Navigation ‘he French Line of Steamers, &c. I had a conversation, a few evenings ago, about the war with Mexico, with some British and French oificers, during a soirée at one of the fashionable salons, where some new musical debutants from Italy were showing off their talents. In private society, the sentiments entertained by military and diplomatic charac- ters, are somewhat different from those outbursts of passion which circulate in the press. Privately, these personages express their wonder, their as- tonishment, their dread, their loudest admiration at the mighty growth, progress, and energy of Umited States. They look upon the great republic as a movement and developement in moral and political power, equal and similar to that of steam and electricity in the physical world. The conversation, to which I allude, was very curious, and very critical. Setting aside the morale of the war, they censured Mr Polk’s ad- vinistration, for the weak and inefficient plan oa which it was carried on. One of the French officers, who spoke very good English, affirmed rat the best, and most efficient plan of opera- ons appeared to be that conceived by General ciaines, at New Orleans, on the first breach of hostilities. “* The United States,” said he, “never should engage in a little, ora cheap war. Ifit is deemed necessary to go to warat all, it ought to be crushing, powerful, and profoundly energetic. Such a war is the cheapest in the end—such were the wars of Napoleon, and of every great mili- tary genius.” I could not help concurring in these ideas. It the energetic measures, set on foot by General Gaines, had heen followed out by the govern- ment, a peace might have been effected, or the city of Mexico occupied long since. This would have told well in Europe, and prevented those torrents of xbuse, sarcasm, and reproach, which the pressof Paris and London have poured on the head of Mr. Polk, and the republic of the West. Ua the contrary, it is much to be feared that the war department, at Washington, imagined they could conquer a peace on the cheap,or Canal street plan—on something like the same principle which a distinguished judicial functionary of New York once saved to that rich State about nine dollars fifiy cents, ina certain year, by hav- ing a rentin his pantaloons repaired by a Ro. chester tnilor, at seventy five cents the hole, in- stead of getting a new pair at once. What a pity that military genius, talent, and energy, was not allowed to have a proper influence on the military department, instead of censuring its de- signs, and ordering courts martial upon its acts! the Be this as it may, the United States must pro- secute the Mexican war to an honorable conclu- sion ; and I have no doubt the great body of the people are intheir right mind on these points. ‘The eyes of all Europe are upon them—the eyes of the governments, and the eyes of the several peopleequally. There will be no interterence, and no intervention from this side of the Atlantic. Ten years ago, France and England would have united in such a project; but there is no danger of that now. ach country is too much occupied with its own domestic difficulties—each is too anxious for peace and commerce with the United States—each depends too much on being fed by our corn, and clothed by our eotton—and, above ull, each of thetwo governments hate each other cordially, in consequence of the quarrel about the Spanish marriages, ever to return again to the entente cordiale during the life time of Louis Philippe and Queen Victoria. Indeed, the quar- rel on this paltry point, is more a personal quarrel between the sovereigns, than a real na- tional division. Louis Philippe is charged with «tuping and deceiving Victoria at the Chateau d’ Eu—Victoria, in fact, feels that she has been duped; just as if she had been a little forward grisette, wearing a crown; and, hence, she is in nterrible rage with the French king, and the whole Orleans fa:nily, declaring that she will un- crown them, and drive them from France one of these days. While this state of estrangement continues, the power of England and Frar will be neutralized ; and, accordingly, Russia jathe East, and the United States in the far West, will have opportunity to exercise their influence, and extend their empire without let or hindrance. { had a long interview with the Minister of Commerce, the other day, at which I was assured that the line of four steamers from Havre to New York willcertainly be carried into Operation in the spring, or early in the ensu- ing summer. Of this determination, I was as- sured there could be little or no doubt. Those ships are to be hired or let toa company of mer chantsat Havre, The only point not yet conclu- ded up: 3, whether the captains of the vessels hall, during the contract, be under the au hority of the government or of the company however, t As I fancy, at the latter point will be determined Upon matterof form, the project will be | placed befure the Chambers to receive their sanc. tion, of which no doubt is entertained. By the time that the line commences, the railroad from Paris to Havre will be complete. It ig calculated that this desirable result will take place in April, | if not sooner. As soon as these events shall have been completed, itis caleulated thata fresh and remaikable impulse will be given to the inter- course between Paris and New York, not alone in commercial affairs, but in literary, philosophi. cal, social, and political. The great highway be tween the continent of Europe and the United States will then be by the line of Paris, Havre and New York. Vust crowds of travellers wil] go und come, and a great accession of trade will be the result. It will be taken into account, hew ever, that the French steamers are not so fast as | the British—th» former will require from one to three days more on the voyage across the Atlantic. | 26w 4 J am afraid that the American line, between New der B: | poor of treland.” |" Lassure y | at their ueual hour, York and Bremen, will, from the competition of | the French and English lines, prove not so profi!- | abl» as its projectors believe. Time, however, which turnsa Newton into a handful of dust and ashes, will tell whether this surmise be true or of the Relief for Ireland and Scotland. Our readers are aware that the inhabitants of our little sister Jersey City, generously contri- buted the handsome sum of one thousand dol- | lars for the relief of the famishing people of Ire- jand, which sum they remitted in two drafts; through Horatio N. Fryatt, Esq , and others. We | are glad to hear that the first remittance has | been received, as will appear trom the following letter from Gen.

Over one thousand dollars were collected in St. Peter’s alone. It ap- pears also that large and small sums are constant- ly going forward for the relief of the starving and destitute, all knowledge of which is kept from the public on this side of the Atlantic, as the following from the Belfast (Ireland) Chronicle of the 23d of January shows :— ‘The Rey. Doctor Edgar has received £338 198 94 from Messrs. Thomas Suffern, James M’Bride, Edward H. Gil- lilan, William Shaw, and Jobn Nicholson, subscribed by a few friends in New York, in consequence of their peru- sal of his pamphlet, entitled “Famine in Connaught.” ‘This sum has been lodged in the Back of Ireland, to be appropriated, as directed, to the relief of the poor in Con- | naught. ‘The amount would have been much larger, had not a public meeting been convened for the same object, and it was Jeemed inexpedient to proceed farther in rais: ing private subscriptions Several of the gentlemen named im this extract have also each subscribed five hundred dollars to the general relief fund in this city. We frequently heer of poor persons, poor in purse hut rich in heart, giving five and ten dollars to be sent to the cabins in Ireland or to the High- | lands in Scotland, a mention of which is hardly | seen; indeed the donors desire their names to be kept from the sight of the public. There are thousands of this class of sympathisers for the famished, and their contributions swell—the ag- gregate toa very large sum. Although the list we have given shows a sub- | scription thus far of $157,834, yet we sincerely | believe that, without the aid of Congress or any | State legislation, the amount that will be sent from this country to Ireland and ‘Scotland before the next harvest will, in food and funds, reach~ over halfa million of dollars—a free-will offering from | the American heart to the suffering and starving cf Europe.

Sincutar Cause or a Dug BEetwekn A Pro- | FESSOR AND A NoBLEMAN —A letter received from Vilna, in Russia, stated thata professor had been commissioned te go to Munich to purchase a telescope, which he paid $6,000 for, but request- ed Mr. Fraunhoffer, the maker, to give him a re- ceipt for $9 000, which he did. Sometime after the professor returned to Vilne, a nobleman pro- ceeded to Munich,and purchased one of the same dimensions as the professor’s, for which he $6,000. The Astronomical Society finding ts selves swindled out of $8,000, told the protes- sor that the nobleman was informed by Mr Fraunhofer that he only paid $6,000. The result was a duel between the professor and the noble- man, in which the former was severely wounded, besides being compelled to refund the $3,000 and be imprisoned for three years, by order of the emperor.

It appears to ba the general impression in financial cir- cles that the money market will steadily tighten, and that there will coon be a greater demand for money, and a more limited supply, than has been experienced for a longtime. Should these anticipations be realized, quo_ tations for stocks, particularly for those of a fancy na- ture, must tend downwards, During the past week the | stock market has been quiet, and prices rather feverish, indicating a change of some sort; and the chances are that this change will be in favor of the bears. The large importations of specie into this country, within | the past two months, have not had such a favorable influ’ | | ence upon the money markot as anticipated, and of course not such an effect upon prices of fancy stocks as holders looked for. Two or threo of the fancies have risen ra_ | pidly; the result of cornering operations; but the teve | of the market generally kes ne( Leer kaalthy,and these | t be € oxmideruble diMiculty in sustaining price: Holders 0! inost of the stocks used in Wall street for spe- culation are stronger than usual, as may be seen by the slight fuctuations from day to day, and the bears find it | diffcult to press down prices; but there are so many little | dark sputs in the political, commercial, and flnancial ho- rizon, likely to increase and spread their evil influences, that those operating for a decline in prices certainly have every thing in their favor.

We have made ourselves the prin- cipal holders of the most doubtful obligations, and we as. sume to be the proprietors of every worthless concern on this side of the Atlantic. ‘To this mania for speculat expansion we are indebted for the success of the Hudson River Railroad Company, whence the completion of a railroad to Albany has the promise of being indefinitely | postponed. It is, however, stated that there is yet a| chance for relief; the subscriptions having no legal foro many of the subscribers being unwilling to be made the dupes of artificial movements of this nature, will, no doubt, give conditional acceptances for the first in. stalment, to be binling only when the full amount of tho first paymonts @hall be collected; or in other words make the payment conditional, and express these con. ditions upon the face of the checks given. It isimpossible to tell how far this measure of precaution may be neces. | sary to those not behind the scenes, who have no ad- | vances or expenses to be liquidated, but by the public | such an exercise of discrotion may prove of the highest | importance, viz: the arrest of a most insane project.

If the mainto- | | nance of this mammoth scheme was all we had to en- | | dure, we might bear the burden more easily, but when the resources of the banks, composed of the aggregate | copitals of individuals, and those principally men of | | business, are employed in bolstering up stocks of compa: | | nies foreign to our State, the burden becomes so onerous ‘hat more then ordinary ferbearance is necessvry to in- | duce us to submit willingly. | The policy of the banks is to make no loans on fancy | stocks, as it would neithor be legal or pruden’, but they will loan on other stocks, and grant facilities to favorite | directors and particular custom for the purpo | Purchasing stock securities. As a specimen of the many speculations in which New York funds are constantly per: | 06 ged, it is only necessary to present for examination | the affairs of the Norwich and Worcester Railroad | Company, from which some estimate may be formed of the probable fate of the Hudson River Railroad Compa | ny, and the value of the investment, about which so | much has been said, to the stockholde | ‘The capitalists of this city are interested in this com pany tothe amount of thirteen thousand out of sixteen “housand five hundred and fifty shares, and of tho de about five hundred thousand dollars, being about four- fifths of the whole concern.

In the coastruction of the Toal, the policy of that State has been consimmated ‘The citizens of Boston, with their uswal foresight ond intelligence, own very little ef the stock, and have none of the debts; should a bankruptcy, therefore, take place, the entire concern would be transferred, without injury or embarrassment, to its proper owners In order to ascertain more conclusively if there is any probability of such an unfortunate disposal of this road, it is proper to place before those interested,both as stook- holders and bondholders, extracts from the statements of the company, for the purpose of showing whether it has the ability to sustain itself or not. Wo fear, however, that the exposition will have no other effect than to prove to the capitalists and to the bu- siness men of this city, that speculations in this, and similar enterprises, do not afford the slightest possi- ble inducement for wuch investments of their means. If the mania for speculation cannot be controlled, and we cannot confine ourselves to the legitimate channels of trade, we should at least make an effort to exercise sume judgment and discrimination in the choice of such m- vestments. We should avoid all stocks of a fancy cha- racter, and turn our attention more to those which are really productive. The reported gross income of the Norwich & Wor- cester Railroad Company, in 1845, from road and boats, was $221,542, and the estimated gross receipts for 1846, $244,000, which estimate, it is stated, proved to have been overrated several thousands of dollars in conse- quence of the loss of the Atlantic ; but for the purpose of showing the probablo business of 1847, and through it the future prospects of the company, we have put down the receipts at the svtime‘e, forth i year.

By taking thisaedata in making estimates of the an- nual business of the company up to tho year 1856, there does not appear to us any possibi ity of making a single dividend, unless the credit of the company materially improves, and it is able te extend its debts, a result abso | lutely necessary for the safety of the company, leaving individuals entirely out of the question Without taking into tho account the necessity of re- placing the Atlantic, at an expense of about $150,000, to keep up the income for 1648, to our estimate, we will put down the gross receipts of that year at an amount exceeding that of 1847 :— NORWICH AND WORCESTER RAILROAD. 1848—Kstimated income... sees eee + «$260,000 Running expenses of road, interest and Joss, on running steame! + $206,500 fund, for extension road. .... 20,000 Sinking fund, to pay bonds for boats. .

If the place of the:Atlantic is not filled, and the Cleopatra re. built, this road cannot compete successfally with rival routes, and its inceme will be materially redueed, tending to an increase of the financial embarrassment of the company, anda more rapid approach to bankruptcy, The history, position and embarrassments of this com- pany, are sufficient to induce every one not to counect themselves, as stockholders, with any of the fancy securities of the day, and to avoid all projects they do not perfectly understand, or which have any evidence of the forced results, such for instance as paying interest on instalments out of the cepital; a molern way of filing up subscriptions, where the prospective profits of the work contemplated are not a {sufficient inducement {for such investments.

Owing to the report- ed arrival of a large number ef vessels, freights were less firm; which had the effect of imparting greater firmness to the grain and flour markets. Sales of Gene- seo were made on the spot, at $7, but holders grow stiff, and refused to moot buyers in a large way, at that price. Southern was also some firmer. A sale of country red wheat was made at 140c. The corn market, in the pros pect of cheaper freights, was also firmer at yesterday’s rates.

There was no change in groceries, while prices remained firm. Upon the whole, the week's business closed with favorable pros- pects for the coming weak.
