New York, Wednesday, April 7, 1847. The Capture of Vera Cruz. We published an Eatra Herald, yesterday morning, containing some’ intelligence that we received by express from Philadelphia, to the effect that Vera Cruz had been taken by our forces, after a desperate resistance, at the cost of eight hundred of our troops. The steamer Southerner, however, arrived here an hour or two after the news was received, and, according to her accounts, no reliable news had reached Charleston, the place where the rumor originated, of the taking »f We have no doubt that the report @ but we may hourly expect reliable ‘i from that quarter. The probability is that Vera Craz is now in our possession ; but, judging from the strength | of the walls around the city, and the determi- nation of the Mexicans to defend it obstinately, | its capture has been attended with great loss of | life. News from Europe—Movements in the Corn Markets. By the arrival of the packet ship Columbia, from Liverpoo!, and Northumberland, from Lon- don, we have advices two days later than those | received by the Hibernia. Political intelligence | of interest rather scarce, and the commercial | accounts are not very important. | There had been no material variation in the cotton market as regards prices, and the opera- tions were confined principally to the trade. We shall look in vain for any improvement in prices for this staple, and for any activity of conse- quence in the market, so long as the present de- ficiency in breadstuffs continues, and the price | of food ranges sohigh. ‘The accounts we r by every arrival, confirm those previously receiv- ed relative to the scarcity of food, and as all doubt must now be removed, very little appre- | hension appears to be felt among speculators, on | both sides of the Atlantic, in relation to adecline | in prices. Indian corn was at the latest dates | steadily advancing, the supply being short, not- withstanding the large shipments from this side. | There is very little danger of breadstuffs pouring | into Great Britain and Ireland fast enough to ac- | cumulate large stocks, the consumption of foreign | grain being more than equal to the receipts. Our advices by the late arrivals, report the ex- istence of avery large export demand from the continent, and shipments to some considerable extent in that direction, had been made from London and Liverpool. The effect of this move- ment will be to put up prices in all the markets of Great Britain, and to increase the deficiency. It was full six months fromthe date of our last ceounts from Liverpool to harvest time, and the poorer classes in every part of Europe are des- tined, within that period, to experience more distress from famine than they have yet. All we | ean send forward from this country will be buta drop in the bucket. It will be impossible to get forward in season one fourth part of what we can spare, in consequence of the scarcity of ves- sels. The London money market continued very much depressed. Consols ruled at prices current when the steamer left, and there was every pro- bability of a greater searcity of money than had already been experienced. The ruling rate for money was 3} 23) per cent. This news, on the whole, is about the same as brought by the steamer. Tuy TRAVELLING Srasox.—The travelling sea- son for the year 1847 has now regularly com- menced, and before many days elapse, our beau- tiful Hudson river, the great highway to the North and West, will be covered with our splen- did and magnificent steamboats. Long Island Sound, too, will be dotted in the same manner. | The proprietors of the several boats on both of | these lines have spared no expense during the past | winter in adding to their splendor, as well as in overhauling thoroughly their machinery, and re- fitting and re-decorating their inside, as well as out. ‘We are glad to hear that Captain A. DeGroot, who commanded the Niagara the season after she was built, will command the splendid Williams, and will er Roger ply regu- larly between New York and Albany this season. He will commence as soon as the river is open. Capt. De Groot is well known to travellers as one of our most skilful, urbane and gentlemanly commanders. He has a way of his own by which he makes all under his care as comfortable as they would be at home in their parlors. Whatever boat he commands is sure to be a favorite with the public. We are also informed that Capt. Van Pelt has received command of the splendid Knicker- | bocker, on the Norwich and Worcester route, to Boston ; and Capt. Williams, the Worcestér, on the same route, These gentlemen are likewise well known to the travelling public as skilful and accommodating commanders.

The Paris Presse states that the Government of Wurtemberg has contracted a loan with the fort-on-the-Maine, for the completion of railroads through that comtry.

In some eases small holders who are destitute may be sent out by landlords, but no landlord will have an interest in send- ing out the mere laborer orconacre-man. His departure ix not necessary to clear the land. ‘Thus the most des titute will remain, and the emigration will be one not of mere labor, but of capital also. ‘Thirty or forty thousand heads of families, the most thrifty, intelligent, and enter- prising of the class which has some means, will probably leave lreland within the year, and it is at least doubtful whether the social system of that country, enfeebled as it is, will derive vigor from the removal of so much healthy blood. | We cannot but wish that a different and, as we believe, a more attractive object were held out to this class of persons. ‘Thereismuch, no doubt, to tempt them acrors the Atlantie, The fact that the Irish in the United States send from three cities in a single year £200,000 to their relatives at hom is not only @ proof to the states- | man of the industry, perseverance and frugality which natives of Ireland can evince, but also a potent encou- | ragement to those who can leave the mother country, to | seek abroad tha ‘house of Rothschilds and Grunelins, of Frank- | cure field of exertion which they’ do hot find on their own soil.

From the comparative small amount of the commerce, and more especially of the intercourse in, passengers with these ports, the establishment of the enterprise offers much more difficulty, and its result is more doubtful. The ports of France, from which these southern lines will start, have not yet been settled. Movements of the European Powers. [From the Paris National, March 2,] Why the concentration of Russian troops on the fron- tier of Galicia? What interest commands it? What conquest has Nicholas to accomplish on the side of Aus- tria? After having so well pacified Poland, what fear can he entertain? No existing event explains this unustial display of military force. What can it mean?

We must confess that, looking to the social effect of this movement on the mother country, we see a good deal to regret. We fear that it will tend very little to relieve the pressure of distress in Ireland, if it be true, as is stated with too much probability, that the emi. grants are chiefly from, the class of small farmers, and trom the middle and upper, rather than the lower sec- tions of that class, In this case the relation between capital and labor will remain as unfavorable as before, ciety, ax a whole, to set itself right supporting condition may become Joss instond of gr The rural population of Ireland contains many varieties of condition, which flow into cach other by imperceptible shades.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday to the 3d ult. ‘Tho Journal des Debats devotes « long article to the question of the establishment of a line of communica- | tion by steam between the ports of France and the con- tinent of America, and urges upon the Chamber of De- puties the necessity of adopting the bill now before it for that purpose. The Constitutionnel makes some remarks upon the bank question, trom which we gather that it, upon the whole, approves of the conduct of the bank throughout the money crisis, and entertains an expectation that the measures recently adopted by the bank to prevent a fur- their drain of money will be found to be sufficient for the existing exigency. ‘The Courrier Francais says:—To celebrate their re conciliation, M. Guizot will in afew days give to Lord Normanby a grand dinner to which the whole of the corps diplomatique will be invited. The Courrier is very apt, however, to state as facts what are merely probabilities, and we suspect that in the present instance it has resorted to its old practices, The Chamber of Deputies met on Wednesday, when « Minister of the Interior presented a Dill granting the sum of four millions of francs in aid of the public chari- | table institutions of the kingdom, in consequence of the | high price of provisions.
