NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Monday, April 5, 1849, SSS News from Europe. We are daily and hourly expecting late news from England. There are several packet ships due here, which must arrive within a very short time. Easterly winds prevailed during nearly the whole of the last month. They must have favored them. lf any news should come before the arrival of the Sarah Sands, which vessel left Liverpool on the 26th of March last, we shall issue an Extra Herald the moment it shall come to hand. Great importance is attached to the next news from England, by the mercantile portion of the country, for, by its tenor, they will receive ad- vices that will be their guide for many months to come. If the searcity of food is as great in Ireland and other countries now as it was at the last accounts, they can make their calculations to furnish it, and know the prices at which they can afford to purchase. Malls for Europe. - The fine packet ship Margaret Evans Tucker, for London, will sail this morning. She will take out the latest American news to Eu- rope. Single copies of the New York Herald, in wrappers, for her mails, can be obtained at the office. ns, Captain ‘The Charter Election—Fun Ahead—The Prospect. : To-morrow week will be abusy and exciting day in this city—for on that day our annual char- ter election will take place. As usual, there will be four sets of candidates presented to our citi- zens—those of the whigs, democrats, natives, and national reformers, or vote-yourself-a-farm- with-a-snug-house-upon-it-party. Variety, itis said, is the spice of life. If it is, we see no reason that it should not be the spice of politics too. At allevents, we will have a va- riety of candidates submitted to the people; but which of them will be successful is hidden in the womb of time. . The nominations, as far as they have come to our knowledge, are as follo Cory Nominations. Mayor. Alms House Com. Whig........Wm. V. Brady _ Democratic. S. Brownel M. G. Leonard. Native... ias G. Drake John Lloyd. ‘The whig candidate for Alms House Commis- sioner is not yet nominated, neither are all the candidates for members of the Common Council. The locofoco, or dirty street party, are in a glo! ous state of anarchy and disunion, They have thrown to the winds the ‘ usages of the party,” and determined to run three or four tickets in some of the wards. The natives, usually the first in the field, have not, like the whigs, yet nominated their Common Councilmen, neither have the vote-yourself-a-farm party, but we sup- pose that both of these parties will do so in the course of a day or two. The whig candidate for Mayor, it is said, 1s a rather clever kind of a man. He is compara- tively unknown, but would no doubt make a tole- rably good officer. The locofoco candidate, on the contrary, is well known. He has been a prominent politician for many years, and can command as many votes probably as any man in the party. He held the office of Register, the duties of which he performed to the satisfaction of his constituents, and the pablic at large. Whether he will be elected, we of course can- not say, but we would not be very much surpris- edif he should be. The splits among his party, while they will have the effect of defeating their candidates forthe Common Council, will bring out all the voters of the several factions, who will cast their ballots for their particular favorites for the Common Council, but united in voting for him, because there is no split on the mayoralty ticket. IfMr. Brownell be elected, he will, to say the least, be the largest Mayor we ever had atthe head of our municipal government. He will make one twice as large as Mayor Mickle, and three times as large an officer as Mr. Brady would make. Thus, then, Mr. Brownell has two pointe in his favor, viz: his weight in pounds and ounces, and the unanimity with which he was fi- nally nominated. We may, however, add another point, which will be equally as potent as either of the other two in influencing his election, and that is, his popularity with the fire department. The native candidate has been an alderman, but will probably never be a Mayor, although, perhaps he would make as good an one as either of the other two candidates in the field. In this condition are the different parties at the “ present writing.” The locofocos are sadly disjointed—the whigs are united, and so are the natives, because there are not enough of them to kick up a ro If the whigs and natives unite, they might, if they chose, carry the city with ease ; and we would not be surprised if negotia- tions are now on foot to that end. There is some mystery in these two parties delaying so long in making their nominations of candidates for the Common Coun on foot, and should be successful, the locos will be knocked cocked hat Couneil If there be no union, the locos will be ssful they former years, provided they adjust their family rels. If they de Mr. Brownell will be our next Mayor, and the whigs will have a ma- jority in the two boards. The prospect for fan on Tuesday week next is very promising. In the interim all parties will strive their utmost to wheedle, cheat, humbug and deceive each other, as well as the dear public, who suffer from one party ¢ from the other. We advise all parties to bring out their big guns.

For many days after it took place, telegraphie communication w suspended—not a single line was in order. many places, particularly on the line between this city and Philadelphia, the posts were blown down for distances varying from one to fifteen miles, and it has cost nearly as much to put them in repair as it did originally to construct them. We are happy in being able to inform the pub- lie that almost all the damage is repaired, and that within a day or two, as we are informed, eve- ry line will be in working order, and much stronger and more capable of resisting the ele- ments than they were when first construcied.— indeed, all the lines are now in operation except that between this city and Philadelphia, which, owing to the imperfect manner in which it was constructed, suffered more injury than auy of the The proprietors of this line confidently to have it in working order to-morrow or The experience which all of the com- have guined by the last storm, has been edtoadvantage.

Tue Packer Sup Yorusume.—The packet ship Yorkshire, which arrived a few days since, made the Banks of Newfoundland in seven days, and but for heavy westerly winds, and large quanti- ties of ice, sheithere encountered, she would have been at the dock in New York, in the short passage of fourteen or fifteen days from Liver- pool.

He will make his first appearance in Don Cassar de Bazan, which is decidedly one of his best, if not his best, charac- ter.

He will also appear as Dick Dashall in the farce of “ My Aunt.” ‘The favorite little comedy of “The Lost Letter” will con- clude the entertainments this evening. Bowrny Cincvs.—The friends and admirers of Kemp, the great clown, have an opportunity this evening of dis- charging the many obligations they are under to him, for amusing them so much the past winter.

Law Intelligence. Common Puxas—April 1, 1847—Before Judge Daly— sfaron Van Valkenburgh ‘vs. Robert M. Hartley and James Van Valkendurgh.—This suit, which has been on trial for three days, wax brought to recover against the defendants (who were heretofore partners together un- der the firm of Hartley & Van Valkenburgh) as accep - tors of two bills of exchango amounting together to about $1000. ‘The drafts were drawn by Rogers & Sinnickson, of Philadelphia, on Hartley & Van Vaikenburgh, for an indebtedness of the latter to the former firm for some cargoes of coal; the billa were forwarded by R. & 8. through a bank in Philadelphia to a bank in New York for collection. They were not paid at maturity, and re- turned to the drawers in Philgdelphia. Somotime after wards the drawers, R. & 8., transferred the drafts to the plaintiff in this suit. It was shown by the defence that when the plaintiff received the drafts from R. & S., he paid only $550 for three notes of his own amounting to $2,500, and for the drafts aucd upon. It was contended by the counsel for the defendants that the notes of pain- tiff for $2,500 were given as security for the firm of H. & V., and that this was a payment in behalf of the ac- ceptors, and worked an extinguishment of the negotiabi- lity of the deafts, | The plaintiff's counsel opposed this Tew by the allegation that the notes of plaintif for $2, 500 were given for an individual indebtedness of James Van Valkepburgh and not for the debts of Hartley & Van Valkenburgh. The defence also contended and gave some evidence to show that certain property which once belonged to the firm of H. & V. had been transfer- red by James Van V. to the plaintiff, with tho view of paying the debts of H. & V, including the drafts in ques: tion, On the other hand the plaintiff’s counsel insisted that the transfer of the property to the plaintiff was a private affair of James and Auron Van V., and with which the firm of H. & V. had no concern ; upon which point considerable evidence was given.

Sunday, April 4—6 P. M. ‘The stock market closed yesterday very firm at the current quotations. Notwithstanding the advance dur- ing the past two or three days, there was an upward ten- dency in prices at the adjournment of the second board yesterday. We should judge from the appearance of our political, financial and commercial affairs, that there was every probability of an improvement, to some ex- tent, in the fancies,particularly in those which have any margin of consequence. ‘The recent change in the complexion of our relations with Mexico, has given a very great impetus to opera- tions in Wall strect, and had a favorable influence upon prices, ‘The influx of specie, the commencement of that portion of the Independent Treasury act requiring the expenditures of the government to be made in specie, and the prospect of a very large and profitable trade this season, have had a tendency to inflate prices of stocks and give the bulls a chance to make up some of the s0- vere losses they have, within the past three months, ex- perienced. Although there are so many causes for an improvement in the stock market, it would be well for those engaged, to not expect a very extravagant ad- vance. Those who realize small profits, will, in the end, make the mgst money. Speculators for a rise are too much in the habit of looking for a continual and perma- nent improvement, the moment a favorable turn takes place in the market, and in waiting for prices to reach a certain point which they set their minds upon, lose, be- fore they ure aware of it, the advance which had already taken place. It is very difficult to induce holders to re- alize at a fair profit, when the prospect is very favorable for an advance, and we must admit that those who are able to hold; those who can carry their stocks, Inde- pendent of any reverses in the money market, or in prices, have at present more inducements to hold than to sell, a8 the chances in fuvor of a further advance are much greater than those in favor of a decline. ‘The annexed statement exhibits the quotations for stocks in this market for each day of the past week, and at the close of the week previous. It will be observed that there has been a considerable improvement in most of the fancies :— Quotations yon THE PrinciraL Stocks Sat Mon Pus; Wed. - 90h 9136 New IN THE Fri.

It has been in operation in its most unfavorable light; the payments to the govern- ment have been required in specie, while the expendi- tures of the government have only twen made in specie since the Ist of April. Its operation, therefore, up to the Ist inst., was altogether a one sided affair, and tended very much to cramp tho money market, and to cause an accumulation of specie in the hands of the sub-treasur- ers. On the Ist inst. the sub-treasurer of this port had in hand $1,600,000 in specie. Notwithstanding this ac- cumulation and the transfer of nearly @ similar amount to the Mint at Philadelphia, from this city, within the past month or two, the banks here have about a half a million more specie on hand than on the Ist of February last.

We supposed the banks would have lost large amount. The statement wo published a few days since, exhibited an importation at this port and Boston in speeie of $7,072,442 from the let of January to the lst of | April, 1847. By arrivals since,tthis amount has been in- creased to full eight m'llions of dollars. A large portion of this amount bas found its way into the channels of trade, and upon the opening of inland navigation, it will find its way into the vaults of our banks. The next quarterly returns of these institutions will be made at the close of this month, and we have no doubt but that the amount of specie on band at that time will exceed that reported above. A very large amount of exchange was purchased for remittance by the Hibernia, the pro- ceeds of which will be returned in specie by the steamer of the 19th of this month, or the 4th of May. ‘The amount of Treasury Notes outstanding on the 1st of April was not so large as on the Ist of March last, as will be seen by the annexed comparative statement :-— T ene Nore Oe Rt April tet Amount of the several iasnes out- standing prior to the act of 22d July, 1646, as per records of thi offlee,...

Nearly all the outrageous restrictions which havo heretofore existed in Mexico, in relation to the import and export trade of that nation, have been removed, and under the favorable tariff perfected by the Secretary of tho Treasury, there is every probabllity of the foreign trade of that republic being rapidly and largely in- creased, Wecan form no idea of the amount of reve- nue likely to be derived from this source, as itis im. possible to estimate the extent of the trade under the new system.
