MONEY MARKDET. Priday, May 216 P.M. The upward movement in stocks still continues, and gathers strength as it advances. Transactions to some extent were made to-day, and there appears to be a bet- tor disposition to buy than we have noticed for a long time. At the first board to-day Harlem went up 13 per cent, Canton $s, Norwich and Worcester 34, Erie scrip 3, Long Island 34, Farmer’s Loan 3, Reading Bonds 34, Mortgage Bonds %, Penn, 5’s 1X, Indiana 3g, Ohio 6’s, 1850, }¢, Treasury notes 34, East Boston closed firm at yesterday's prices. At the second board there were large sales of Harlem at an advance of | per cent on prices current in the morn- ing. Norwich and Worcester also went up 4, Farmer's Loan %. ” ‘The abundance of money and the reduced rate of in- terest have a very favorable influence upon the stock market, and should the present supply of capital coatinue for any length of time, prices for all kinds of stook will become very much inflated, and the speculative fever run very high, Governor French, of Illinois, and Colonel Oakley, the State trustee for the Illinois and Michigan Canal are in the city, upon business connected with the finances of that State. Arrangements are about being made to carry out the law passed at the last session of the Legislature of Illinois, relative to ~ the funding of the debt, and registering the bonds of that State. The Ilifois and Michigan Canal will be completed by the first of November, and be ready for the transportation of merchandise and produce upon the opening of navigation in the spring of 1848. The expense of finishing this work will be about three hundred thousand dollars less than the amount subscribed. The board of trustees is very efl- cient, and we have no doubt that what is done under its supervision will be well done, There never was a period in the whole history of the western country, when in- greased outlets for the products of that section were more wanted than at this time, and we are gratified to hear that the farmers of Illinois will have an outlet in this canal, for the extensive crops they are now cultivat- ing. ‘Tho annexed statement exhibits the condition of the leading departments of every bank in this Stato on the Ist inst., except the New York State Stock Bank, the proprietor of which thinks, he is not required to report to the Comptroller, as he carries his book in his hat and has no board of directors. ‘The law applies to that bank as well as any other in the State, ‘The Manhattan Bank of this city makes no report of its circulation.

Mx. Eprron: It is with feelings of deep regret we desire you to an- nounce the decease of Dr. H. Van Bunex, son of Judge Yan Buren, of Kingston, Ulster county, who died in this city May 19th, of ship fever. Dr. Van Buren gra- duated from the New York University in March , 1846, carrying with him the highest honors it confers, possess: ing the confidence and regard of his preceptors,and the respect of his fellow graduates. Immediately after gra- dusting he received an appointment as assistant physi cian at Bellevue Hospital, and by the manner in which he discharged the duties devolving upon that office, won the confidence of his associates, and reflected credit upon his alma mater. ‘To his assiduity in the performance of these duties, we may attribute his premature decouse—for regardless of the contagious influence to which he was ex- posed, he moved fearlessly on intent only upon the alle- viation of human suffering, and the acquirement of knowledge, and to his zeal bos fallen an early victim, adding one more name to the list of those who,regardlesa of self have fallen martyrs tothe cause of science and philanthrophy. As fellow students, we deplore the loss of a firm friend and an early associate in the pursuit of medical science, endeared to us by many pleasant recollections of tho past, and the many social virtues that adorned his cha- racter. We mourn with his bereaved friends, and min- gle our heartfelt sympathy with theirs; yet we feel a consoling influence pervade our minds in the thought that he died ina noble cause—battling with the cle- ments of disease, administering to the sinking fabric of man, the benefits resulting from the well directed ef- forts of medical skill. As membors of the profession, also, we deplore his loss, and feel that wo have lost. one from our number who bid fair to become one of the brightest ornaments in the ranks of medicine. Peace to his ashes.

The whole valley of the Rio Grande is under martiai law, and every one capable of bearing arms is called upon to rally, under penalty of a traiter’sdeath. This does not even exclude the clergy.

The National Guard is everywhere rallying, and the armed and helpless will be equally exposed to the gu ar. 4 This, with the information that Santa Anna is issu- ing guerilla commissions, shows a desperate state of things.

This isright. The prices paid for tobacco had ceased to compensate the planter; while the increasing prices of grain rendered such crops certain of a premium. We are Srattied, also, to learn that the wheat crop of Ma- py dis doing well, and that the corn is coming up inely. From Virginia, we have some croaking about the fly, and the cold weather, and the drought; but the harvest always has turned out better than the farmers expected. As far as we can hear, the farmers have been unusually active allover the country in putting large erops of breadstuffs into the ground; so that wo safely calculate, with an ordinary season from this time out, upon at least an average cro Ww.

According to the common usages of war, all properties useful to the invading party, have been subjected to the law of “military contributions,” the law recently pro- mulgated in the Senate by the Lieutenant General, and which, in modern times, has superseded the old law of indiscriminate spoliation and plunder. Under the law, then, of “military contributions,” the church property of Mexico would be a legitimate seizure; a bill of the amount seized to be rendered against the government of Mexico, to be settled for between the high contracting parties in a treaty of peace, and to be accounted for to the church by the Mexican government. The appro- priation of the church treasures, therefore, under the laws of war, would not be a sequestration, but a forced loan, pledging the Mexican government as security for ite it. other hand, has suggested that juestration” of the church’ property “may be- come a matter of grave consideration,” which, ax we un- derstand it, would be but a seizure of said property by the strong arm, and its appropriation to the sinews of war, as the cannon and Munitions of a captured city are appropri . as the spoils of war. “~"Dwas there he made the great mistake,” 1 © term of sequestration, implied a seizure and no repayiient—an appropriation of captured treasures, aftor the manner of doing business of the Camanehe I dians, without prospect or arrangement of indemnitic tion. to th 1 he m dead loss to the party suffering the abstraction, ut vt the chattels abstracted or destroyed, military contributions,’ as wo have said, f the “plan,” the great plan—the diplo y plan of the diplomatico—generalissino, tentiary extraordinary, a mixed funetionary, ombining the powers of a commander-in-chiet of the Army and Navy, and of Prime Minister of Foreign Af fairs, as far as regarded peace or war with the enemy in question-—the great plan of this sequestered functionary proposed a urform application of the law of “ military * to all property of a private character perations of the Ame. which would certainly embrace the proper+ church, ause nd military law reeogniaes rty of a corporation as more sacred than the ex ai ary thes of th the pr person: But neither contributions’? has officers in » New Mexi f plunder, nor of “ mili cognised or practired by our r two exceptions in contributions’ was of plan of appropriation of th « would be an infringement upon the practice of an equivalent rendered thus far, and also ¢ + frequent proclamations issued to the Mexican churel and Je, proclaiming the sanetity of private property juestration or even © n eontributions”’ would compromit Ube pleages of ou: manding officers, aud to this extent, the faitlr of the Un tater, ‘The only feature of the scheme of “military coutri- butions’ put into actual practice is the tariif law of Mr. Walker, against which we see heavy complaints are made by the American merchants in pico. » law of collections evineing great discernment due retlee- tion, but which could not be expected to give entire sa tinfaction ns a first experiment.
