N&W YORK HERALD. New York, Monday, March 15, 184%. —— Correspondence from Washington and Mlsewhere. With the view of furnishing our readers with late and important intelligence from the seat of government, during the continuance of the Mexican war, we have determined te continue our present system of correspondence from Washington. For this purpose, our able Wash- inglon correspondents will write to this journal daily, and transmit to us such items of intelli- gence, news, and rumors, as they may gather in that city. ‘We are determined to maintain the reputation which the Merald has for many years enjoyed, of being the only real newspaper published ‘in this city, and shall spare no expense in doing 80. Between the close of one session of Congress aud the commencement of another, occurrences of great aud absorbing interest frequently take place. Whatever may occur this year, will be faithfully represented tn our columns. We are now making arrangements to increase and impreve our correspondence from the pnn- cipal eities and towns in the Union. We mean, not only to presenta daily daguerreotype view of the capital, but of the whole country. Our sheet will every morning bear to our subscribers an impress of the occurrences in every part of the world. The New Post Offce Regulations, We published in yesterday’s Herald the new Post Otlice regulations which have been adopted by the Posimaster General, under the laws passed at the close of the last session of Congress. Aftera careful perusal of the document, and | with the information that we have of Mr. Cave Jolinson’s influence in getting the bills passed, we are led to believe that our repeated and earnest exertions to; the Postmaster General a man of business, und scquainted with the wants and Wishes of the country, have not beenin vain. That worthy and estimable public official gives evidence of rapid improvement under our train- ing, and we think that at about the time when he will be called upon to resign the cares and troubles of office, and live the remainder of his days in peace and quietness, under the shade of hisown vine and fig tree in the sequestered vales of Tennessve, we will have succeeded in making him a mode! of what a Postmaster Gen- eral oughtto be. We are very much pleased with the saccess that has attended our exertions thus far, and shall continue them until the end in view shall have been accomplished. We are, on the whoie, pleased with Mr. Johnson’s “ regula- tions.” There are to be sure one or two bad and ridiculous points which we rather he had omit- ted, but we are confident that he will do better xt time. We give him credit this time, at sil events, for good intentions, and a desire to do ull he could. Newspapers from the office of publication are charged the regular rate of postage under the old law, but transient newspapers are charged at the rate of three cents each in advance. We cannot aceount for this latter clause, unless on the sup- Position that it was framed for the purpose of | not yet made a report, although they are con- who relieving the mails of a large portion of the great bulk of this kind, that generally goes in them, and also of relieving the clerks in the post offices in New York and other cities, of the trouble of as- ‘sorting and despatching papersto their several places of destinatien, that are never taken from the post office, except to be sold as old papers at somuchahuodred. At allevents it is clearthat it will have this effect, because people will not pay three cents postage on a paper like the Herald, when the person to whom they would send it, can obtain it for the same sum, at their own door, and without any trouble to third parties. What effect it will have on the pecuniary interests of publishers, we must leave for time to develope. 1t will probably increase their lists of subscribers. In addition to this, newspapers di- reoted singly to subscribers, can be transported in buik to any city over the mail route as mer- chandize. Heretofore papers could go in bulk out of the mails, but publishers were denied the right to direct them singly to subscribers for dis- tribution free of postage at the place of their des- tination. Thus much in regard to newspapers. So far letters are concerned, these cauldron of this city is at present simmering, and will bubble and boil before many days. The “dirty street” party hold their elections for nomi- nating committees in all the wards to-day, We have not heard that the whigs have made any movement yet, They may perhaps be resting ahead. It is a curious fact that the principles and mea- sures which divide the two great parties, whigs and democrats, on national andstate politics, always enter into and control our municipal elec- tions. We have annually an election for muni- cipal officers to carry on our city government, j tor the period for which they are elected, ; and, instead of their fitness and capacity to | perform their duties, being the principle on which their election turns, extraneous questions that the inhabitants of this city as tax payerscare no- | thing aboutare introduced. The fitness of a pub- lic officer is never thought of when his nomina- tion is decided upon by the wire pullers of the party to which he belongs. All they take into consideration is his avowed national and State politics | Ttis full time that this should cease ; national | Or State politics should not be introduced into our municipal elections. Le: them be introduced at | the proper times, let our municipal officers be | eleted without regard to party. Both the whigs | and democrats will ef course prepare their tickets very shortly, and commence the struggle which | will place one or the other of them in the ascen- dancy ferayear. As fares eur eity government 18. concerned, we have no confidence in either.— They will each make the most solemn pledges of | economy and retrenchment when their candi- dates shall have been presented to the people, but experience teaches us that no faith ought to be | placed in them On the score of economy it is immaterial which of them will be eleeted, for so | sure as they shall be elected, so sure will the ex- travagance that has characterised them in years past, be repeated. What then is to be done? Can there not be a | party formed from both—composed of men who | will discharge their duties truly and conscien- tiously? No. That cannot be done, because the wire pullers of the two old parties have the nominations in their own power. They | make the neminations, and the people elect | whomscever they nominate. In what way then | can the people control both? They can control | them, and they can make them control each other, by electing a board of aldermen composed of democrats, and a boartl of assistants composed | of whigs, [tis immaterial who is mayor, while | the two boards are of different political com- plexions. We hope the electors of this city will exert themselves at the ensuing election, to have our city government for the year 1847 eomposed of materials like these. We are satisfied that a worse board of assistant aldermen than the present one, never held powet in this city. The committee of wharves aud piers of that board, have had under consideration a resolution authorising the Comptro'ler to lease at public auc tion to the highest bidder, certain ferry privileges , , belonging ‘to the city for months, and they have vinced that these privileges would bring from ten to fifteen thousand dollars per annum into the city treasury, more than the insignificant sum now paid for them. To bring this additional | sum it only requires their report, but they will not report. What the cause of their mysterious hold- ing back is, we are not prepared to say, but their | conduct is very suspicious. We hope to see dif- ferent men composing this board next year, and we particularly wish t! ihe two boards will be 80 divided that one will check the other. | The voters ot New York can accomplish this | if they choose. Let the politicians make their nominations as usual, and when all the candi- | dates shall have been submitted, let the people deposit a ballot of each. Avoid the ‘* dirty street” party. Mitrrary.---We hope that our State Legislature | will not interfere with our squadron of hussars, all of whom are located in the city—hence in the first militia district. They are a fine body of cavalry, and eught to be fostered and kept in a | state of perfect organization by the Legislature. Theatrical.

But the section forbidding letters addressed’ to different persons to be enclosed in the same en- velope under the penalty of ten dollars, is ridic- ulous and absurd, and cannot be carried out to any great extent. It might be carried out if the Government bad corferred on deputy post-mast- ers the powers assumed by Post Master Graham, in England, of opening letters, in order to discover whether their enclosures are directed to different persons; but such a power would not do for this latitude. Without such power, that section will be inoperative, unless the philanthropists and would-be reformers of the age have succeeded in making mankind more conscientious than they have the character of being. A conscientious person may, when he receives two or three letters addressed to different persons, in one envelope, return tothe post master from whence he re- ceived them, and pay the additional postage, buy such instances will, we think, berare.

The stock market closed yesterday extremely heavy, and the tendency of prices was decidedly downward.— Within the past month there has been a greater revolu- tion in the money markets of this country than we have experienced in many years. From almosta plethora, money has become exceedingly scarce, anda complete change in the complexion of financial aud commercial sffairs has been realized within a few weeks. We cannot attribute this to anything having a greater infuence than the fiscal movements of the government. Just pre- vious to the passage of the last bill authorising an issue of Treasury notes tothe amount of twenty-three mil- lions of dollars, it was generally supposed that these notes would come upon the market in the shape ofa cir. culating medium, that they would, to the extent of the issue, be so much added to the paper currency of the country, and give additional facilities to all classes. An easy money market was anticipated,and calculations wero formed for an increased activity in all commercial pursuits ‘These anticipations have not been realised, and those who have calculated upon an easy money market, have been grievously disappointed. Instead of the Treasury | notes, issued under the new act, becoming a part of the currency, they have been absorbed by capitalist for in- vestment, at a premium, and have therefore drawn mo. ney from other employments, instead of furnishing fa- cilities for the purposes of trade andcommercs. This | makes a vast difference in the effect of such an issue, as that which was expected would ease the market, has preved the greatest restriction. The clause in the new bill, giving holders of Treasury notes the privilege of funding them into a twenty year six per cent govern- ment stocke, makes them the most desirable invostmen, of the day; and millions upon millions of dollars will be drawn from the deposits of the banks, which would i otherwise have bepn employed in discounting commer- cial paper, and in making loans upon stocks. So long as the government is in want of money—s long as the In, dependent Treasury jem is in operation—so long will the money market be ti The annexed table exhibits the quotations for stocks in this market far each day of the week just closed, und that some of the fancies have fallen off very materially, Quotations tHe Paincipa, Stecks in tux New Youx Manner. : Sat. m.

Those who have heretofore made large loans on the hypothecation of this stook, either de- | Cline it cltogether, or require such margins as to render all negotiations extremely dificult. The constant appre_ hension of a continued fall in the stocks, from day to day is so great that those holding it as collateral, are in dan- ger of the security falling far below the par value of tueir advances. Investments in these non-dividend pay; ing stocks are now becoming, under the changes in the | currency, exceedingly precarious. Money is becoming too valuable to lay fallow, as some of our shrowdest ca- pitalists call it. Money must be made more productive, 3 ite value increases and the quantity beco: reduced, ‘When there is a large amount of capital afloat in | the sbopo of bank iseuos, capitalists can afford to | let port of their means remain unproductive in | non-dividend paying stocks, but a tightons, as the supply falls off, every one is looking round for some safe way of using their funds. This accounts for the liness of good, sound stocks, ‘and for the rapid depreciation in the market value of the fancies, independent of any embarrassment any company may labor under from other causes. In consequence of the recent misfortunes of the Nor- wich and Worcester company, that stock has become one of the most dangereus fanaies in the street. It has from its birth been peculiarly unfortunate in its Goancial ope" rations. [thas been from the beginning, the mere foot ball of speculators, kicked about from one set of epera- tions to another, all of which were ignorant of its real valus or condition, and epparently equally indifferent in relation te its prospective bankruptcy. The time has ar- rived when e strict accownt must be rendered, when it | must be settled.

In relation to the Norwich and Worcester Company, there are so many evidences of weakness and discredit, that nothing can resist theirinfluence. Inthe course of the last summer debts were contracted with many mechanics, which were to be paid incesh, for materials and work, amounting to about $25,000. The whole of this sum still remains unpaid, end threats having boon mado to attach the steamers of the lin ry effort has been made to obtain an extension of time to liquidate the claim, but so far without success. A bond of t thou- sand dollars, n for work upon ome of the steamers, was sold sometime since by the owner, at twenty per cent discount. Bonds having cleven years to run, have been offered in payment for work done en the unfortu- nate Atlantic, and rejected. Those are some of the causes of the immodiate embarrasements of the company. We give below a copy of one of tie company’s notes, of a most discreditable character, given for small exhibiting not only the most embarrassing po- sition of the concern, but sffording the most conclusive evidence thet the financial sffiire of the company are manoged without any kind of system, fe) Norwich & Worcester RR Co} 7 March 10 1817, § Four months from dato for value receive, the Nov wich and Worcester Railroad Company pro to the oeder of six hundred and thir y-two do! ug Bank in Norwich, Conv, a.
