(NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Saturday, May 29, 1847. Our Dlustrated Weekly. The Weekly Herald will be ready at 9 o’clock this morning. It will contain two beautiful engravings—one a faithful representation main Plaza, in the city of Mexico, with a full view of the Halls of the Montezumas; and the other of the new steamship Washington. Single copies 6} cents each. ‘The Herald for Burope. Next week we shall publish two editions of the Herald for Europe—one for the American Ocean steamship Washington, which will sail from this port, and one for the steamship Bri- tannia, which will leave Boston, both on ‘Tuesday next. The one for the Britannia will be ready on Monday at 12 o’clock, and the one for the Wash- ington will be ready on Tuesday, also at 2 o’clock. Both editions will contain the latest news from the army and navy—intelligence up to the last hour from all parts of the country, and our usual digest of miscellaneous, commercial, financial, and political intelligence. ; They will be embellished with two beautiful engravings, one of the Steamship Washington, and the other of the Main Plaza in the city of Mexico. To business men of every description the Herald for Europe offers many advantages. The Mission of Mr. Trist to Mexico. Some of our cotemporaries seem inclined to mingle Gen. Scott, Commodore Perry and Mr. Trist together, in the mission which the last named gentleman has been entrusted to perform by the administration, and incline to lay great stress on the interview that took place with the commander of the navy, on the arrival of Mr. Trist at Vera Cruz. Mr. Trist, of course, had to see that officer, but that was all he had to do with him. The mission of Mr. Trist is not generally understood. That gentleman, because of his ta- lents and education, his knowledge of Spanish and the Spanish character, and because he holds a high office in the state department, was selected by the President to proceed to Mexico, and feel the national pulse of Mexico. In case he finds it calmer and less feverish than it has been since the commencement of the war, he is to give the government of that country to understand that if it is wil- ling to open negotiations for peace, the Secre- tary of State of the United States, Mr. Bucha- nan, will himself follow him, clothed with ample authority to act in the premises, and conclude a treaty of peace, if the government of Mexico will confer with him on the subject. .Mr. Trist’s mission is merely to sound the Mexican govern- ment on this subject, take advantage of circum- stances, and pave the way for the reception of Mr. Buchanan, if it be found necessary for him to proceed to Mexico. The intimation that Commodore Perry or Gen. Scott are aparty inthe mission, is the height of absurdity. Both of these accomplished offi- cers have as much business on hand as they can reasonably attend to in their respective lines. Tue Barrie or Buena Vista—Tue Puan oF tHE Bartir Fre.p.—Wherever the accounts of the battle of Buena Vista have reached, that celebrated engagement has been pronounced the most brilliant affair that is recorded in the annals of modern warfare. When the British achieved uvictory over the Sikhs in India, with four to one opposed to them, the English journals were filled with laudations and congratulations. It was believed an achievement which British generals and British troops alone could accom- plish, and was cited as an argument to prove the superiority of British soldiers over that of the world. They had their day, and we now have our’s. We are inclined to think that the battle of Buena Vista was far more brilliant than the Bri- tish victory over the Sikhs, because, in the first place, the Mexicans numbered nearly five to one American—in the second place, because they were led by Santa Anna, a general, whom the British journals have over and again pronounced one of the first military men of the day; and thirdly, because the Mexicans were not like the Sikhs, an ungovernable rabble, hardly acquaint- ed with the use of fire-arms. On the contrary, the forces which Santa Anna commanded in that engagement were the best disciplined in Mexico, they were, in fact, the flower of the Mexican nation, and Santa Anna commenced the battle with the fullest confidence in them. Nor did he misplace his confidence. The best disciplined troops never fought better than did the Mexi- can soldiers on that occasion. To impute cow- ardice to them, would be mean and contemptible. But discipline and bravery did not avail against the American troops. The steady and unflinch- ing courage of our troops was more than a match for the impetuous bravery of the Mexicans; the unerring aim of our Western riflemen was more deadly than the escopette balls of the enemy; and the cool, determined and sagacious judgment of Zachary Taylor frustrated the plan of campaign laid down by the Mexican General. Buena Vista was a great victory, and throws in the shade the victory of the British over the Sikhs. It is the most brilliant victory that modern warfare can boast of, and will be remembered as long as the world shall remain as it is. In view of the importance of this great battle, and the credit and renown which the United States has achieved from it, we obtained a full and perfect sketch of the battle-field and the posi- tions of the several portions of the contending armies. This is now in the hands of the en- graver. It will be ready in a few days, when we shall publish it, with the official despatches of the several officers who immortalised themselves on that glorious day. Sreamsnir WasuinoTon.—This magnificent ocean steamship will positively sail on the first of next month—next Tuesday. She has already one hundred and eleven pas- sengers engaged, including several distinguished gentlemen, among whom are the Hon. Richard Rush, and Major Hobbie, of the Post-Office De- partment. The latter gentleman will visit Eu- rope for the purpose of inducing the different gov- ernments to enter into a reciprocal arrangement with the United States, for the mutual: benefit of all, in respect to their post-office laws and ar- rangements. The following is the opinion of the government agent of the superior qualities of this fine steamer: New Yorx, May 26th, 1847.

BROWNELL, | Inrerxstine From Sourn Amenica.—We are indebted to a gentleman of this city for the fol- lowing copy of a private letter from the U. S. Consul at Buenos Ayres. The consul | was ap- pointed to proceed to Paraguay, as special agent, to bear to the latter government the offer of the friendly mediation of the United States govern- ment between Paraguay and the Buenos Ayrean’ government, the offer having been previously accepted by Gen. Rosas for Buenos Ayres. Thisletter gives a description of the trip up the river, &c. Burnos Ayres, March 1, 1847. Mr peau S.—On the 28th May last, I wrote, inform- ing you of my intention to start in afew days for Pa- raguay, and was in hopes of finding a letter from you hereon my return.{ 1 did not get back until the 30th De- cember, having been absent six months and nine days. I will now give you some account of my trip to the ee China of South America, Asl told you in my jast, G. L. Brent, fine youth of nineteen, ‘son of the chi and myself, were appointed by Mr. Brent, the charge speci: agents to bear to Paraguay the offer of the friendly mediation of our government, between that government and this, the offer having been previously accepted by Governor Rosas. Paraguay claimed to bein- dependent,and Rosas claimed as a part of the Argentine confederation. Paraguay had joined Corrientes, ano- ther province, in rebellion, and declared war against Rosas ; he had routed the combined armies, and driven the Pj ayans back into their own country, and brought Corrientes to a sense of duty. It was to settle these difficulties, that Mr. Brent proposed his friendly mediation, | took young Brent with me, because at that time he spoke Spanish much better than myself, and | did not want to make so long a journey alone. After fitting ourselves out at considerable expense, with all the travelling equipments of the gaoucha of the country, we started on the 9th of June, with Governor Rosas’ passport in our pocket, and accompanied by an escortsof an officer and seven picked soldiers from his own household troops, for our protection. For the first three days we went galloping cover the plains, with a troop of some fifty horses driven before us, our on two pack horses, and as our horses became tired, we took others from those driven before us. After the first three days we took horses from the posts, which are three or four leagues apart, and regulated by the Go- vernment. As we set out in the middle of winter, we had rain every day; we were provided with good ponchos, which kept our Bodies dry, but our feet and legs were wet often from swimming creeks, and the s] ing on the plains, We transferred our o to a cart, to which the¥ hitched four horses, and in this way it went much more secure, and as the plains are perfectly level, our progress was not retarded In the whole province of Buenos Ayres, we found no variety in the scenery— Immense plains covered with cattle, horses and sheep, and here and there a rancho, “shingled mit straw,” where live those who look after the cattle. In travelling in any part of the camp, # guide is as necessary asa compass at sea; there are no roads, all open plain—no land marks, no trees, except now and then one near some rancho. . Iwill not pretend to give you the incidents of our journey, suffice it that notwithstanding the rain, Brent ‘and mybelf stood the ride well, and we were everywhere treated with the greatest hospitality and distinction. ‘We generally managed to pass the night at some little village, where resides the “Juez de Paz,” the great man of the district; and all we had to do to secure for us every attention and luxury the country could afford, eas sat. were diMident and gwk- ward. We had with us as @ travelling com; » & Dr. Kennedy, from Philadelphia. who has lived ten twelve years in this country. ‘The old lady had heard of his medical skill, and after saluting immediately began to consult him about hor maladies, We remain in Asuncion weeks.

But I am tired writing, and | know you are of reading; therefore, I will reserve the rest till we We returned by water to Santa Fe, and thence by land.

I may be detained here five or six months, before I can close my business; and if [should have left, (which is not proba- ble,) your letter will be sent after me. * r I should prefer remaining here as Consul, if the block- ade were off, but now the fees do not half pay the horse hire. The office will never be as good as it has been. ‘The last tariff will almost exclude the wool of this coun- try, which was the chief trade. The only reason | would like to remain is, because | live puameny I like the climate, and circumstances have enabled me to secure an influence with this government, which I do not be- lieve another Consul could obtain in five times the length of time I have been here, I do not say this boastingly, All that I have done has been to take ad- vantage of circumstances which cannot occur again. ‘Tell me who is to be the next President. Mr. Polk, I suppose, will not run again—and the great Southern statesman, to whom I owe my appointment, is, in my humble opinion, too great # man to stand any chance. Yours, as ever, J. G. Laver From Porr av Paincs —We are in re- ceipt of files of the Feuille du Commerce up to the 25th ult. The news is not of any importance. During the funeral solemnities in honor of the late President Guerrier, which took place on the 28d, a serious Zaccident took ‘place on board of the Haytian sloop ef war President. By some mismanagement on the part of the officers of the vessel, the magazine took fire and exploded, tearing the vessel in pieces. Several persons were severely wounded, but none killed outright. Park to-night, and from the manner of her reception when fulfilling her engagement, we conclude that she is to havea full house. If her merits as an artiste are duly weighed, she surely will have no reason to regret throwing herself upon the generosity of those whom she has heretofore entertained by her beautiful” perform- ances. She goes to Boston next week, and we Hope she may cai ith her bappy recollections of her adieu to the New York public. The fair beneficiary will appear in the ballet of ‘, Le Lac des Fees,” and “La Gitana,” and the evening will be filled up by the performance of two pieces :—* Nicholas Figm,” and “ Race for a Din- ner.’ The managers announce an engagement, for four was to show the passport, with the signature of Don Juan Manuel de Rosas, and the way the Juezes and all others hopped around to serve us, was delightful to see. But to do them full justice, this showing the passport was very seldom requisite; they had been advised of our coming, and the moment they heard of our approach, the justices and head men of the villages would come out to meet us; and on entering the towns, we would find flags flying from every house, the bells ringing, and rockets and crackers firing. In short, every demonstra- tion of respect it was possible for them to show, and all bf ene dn sen good will and enthusiasm. Sometimes, after riding all day, on approaching a village in the even- ing, the Juez de Paz, would send to request us to wait a few minutes, till he could come out te receive us; here we would perhaps have to wait ten or fifteen minutes, then go through the ceremony of boing presented and welcomed, and returning thanks, und all that, in Spanish; after which, perhaps, being mounted on @ fractious horse, we would ride slowly in, our horses rearing and pitching at the unusual sights and sounds of the bells, rockets, crackers and outings of the people; but, tired as we were, we could not help feeling grateful; for all was done so spontaneously, and with such apparent good will. The truth is, there is not a more Poepitable or kind-hearted people in the world than the Creoles here, when they are your friends; especially if they know you stand well with Rosas, In enumerating the means of * glorifying” us, | forgot to mention the music, which was almaye brought into requisition, and placed at our door whilst we were eating—sometimes o violin and flute, or the former dnd a drum; sometimes a guitar. It cvuld hardly be called a band; and the scraping, and pounding wes not always very, euphonious; but it was the best, and all they*had, and served to show their good intentions. In this way, we travelled to Santa Fo, the capital of the province of that name, about 130 leagues from there. At that place we were received with the same spirit; butevery thing was done on s much grander, and more splendid scale. Through this province we had thirteen additional soldiers added to our escort by the Governor. As we approached the city the Governor sent his principal aid, in boats, to take us across the river. On landing, about a mile from the city, we found the Governor, Echaque, a tine looking and intelligent gentleman, with his suite and chief officers in uniform, waiting to receive us. The Governor made # Itttle speech of welcome, to which | replied in tolerably good Spanish. We found an ‘elegant carriage and four, with four postillions, waiting to carry usto our quarters, where we were accompanied by the Governor and his suite, &e. We were conducted to excellent apartments, which had been fitted up expressly for ue; and for two days and a half that we remained. “ . . . * * * * * If I ever expect to get to Paraguay, I must take leave of the Governor, his kind wife snd fair daughters.— This, hor r, he did not permit till after hehad accom- anied us, with his suite, some three ues in boats, ing half the distance, to Parana, the capital of another province, Entre Rios, on the opposite side of the river Parana. Here, before taking leave of the Governor, wo partook of a sumptuous breakfast of “carne con cuére,”” under the shade of a tree, on an island; after which we took leave of our kind friends, and proceeded on in boats to Parana, interchanging vivas with them till we could no longer hear each other. At Parana we werereceived with the same spirit, but with less display. Governor Crespo isa plain but an ex- cellent man; he hada fine house prepared for our re- ception, and entertained us hospitably, and for the coun- try, magnificently, for a week. , it was our intention ene proceeded on dry land, but Governor Crespa said this was impossible, owing to the high waters and rebellious state of the country. We had to wait to have a vessel sent over from Santa Fe—this was the cause of our detention. The veesel sent was a schooner of about 65 tons, with fine cabii We were a month and seven days going from Parana to Pilan, the first town in Paraguay. If you i cending the Mississippi, a distance of over 300 with sails, you can form a tolerably correct yoyage. We had good store of provisions, and caught fine fish in abundance, and I shot lots of ducks, turkeys, and partridges, so that we lived well; and as we had our soldiers in addition to the crew of the vessel, we some- times could warp, #0 that we got up rather more speedily than usual. ‘he river is wider than the Missis- sippi, quite as crooked, fall of islands, but comparatively free 0 snags. At Pilan we were told we could go no farther wit it special permission of the President.— We wore detained there twenty days, during which time we had a sharp correspondence with his Excellency Dan Antonio Lopez, but finally we obtained permission to Laberge pha he required us to leave our veesel and es- cort at n. We travelled} to the capital, Asuncion, a distance of fifty 1 es, by land, accompanied by a Lieutenant and two Paraguay soldiers. We were very civilly treated on the road, but Paraguay isa great hum bug. All my splendid ideas of its great beauty and wealth were soon dissipated. ‘The country produces sugar, cotton, tobacco, rice, mandioka, and yerba, but miserably cultivated, and the people are demi-savager ‘They speak soarosly any other language than the "Gu: vani,” or that of the Indians who formerly inhabited the country; the tt majority of them do not under- stand a word of Spanish. They are dark, many ofthem, with Indian blood, and they go half naked. | saw many San of eleven and twelve years, of both sexes, en- ly #0. As you know, they were shut out from all inter- course with the world for more than thirty years by Francia, and his great object was to make jem slaves to his will, in which he succeeded,— Since his death, his successors have pursued somewhat the same courve; very few of the natives have left their country, and a stranger among them is still an object of great curiosity. ‘They are suspicious, but after gain- ing their confidence, they are rather kind-hearted and hospitable. The people of the capital, Asuncion, where is concentrated all the intelligence and business of the country, were vory kind to us, and expressed great anxiety for the success of our mission. They know the edvant of having the river open to their commerce, andthe importance of peace with their neighbors.— Their productions are all needed by the inces be- low, and they need but little from abroed, so that, with an outlet for their productions, they would very soon become the richest portion of this part of South Ameri- ca. Brazil knows this, and for this reason has recog- nised her independence, and spares no effort to increase her hostility to Rosas and the Argentine Confederation. The products of Paraguay are the same as those of parts of Brazil; and if the lattercan a6 the former out of the market of La Plata, she has s to herself, especially for yerba, (which is only consumed in this part of South Ohio were to declare herself independent, and had no other outlet than the Mississippi, both sides belonging to the United States—what trade could England have with her? Thus is situated Paraguay, about the same dis- tance from the Rio dela Plata as Ohio from the Gulf; but there is also this grand difference, that the trade of Hamilton county alone would be worth double that of all Paraguay for years to come. But thisisn dry sub- Ject, and I have explained the whole matter to the Se- cretary of State in a long report. Asuneion is badly situated, on low, sandy ground, built in Spanish style, and does not contain more than eight or ten thousand inhabitants. it requires almost as much ceremony to yA the Fretident as it would to approach the grand Emperor of America) and for timber, tobacco and si . Ast said fae 80 far as we are concerned, or England either, the | idea of trade with Paraguay is a humbug Fancy that nights, with Mrs. Mason and Mr, Wheatley. Bowery Turatre.—There is an extraordinarily at- tractive bill put ferth for this evoning at the Bowery— one that we venture to say has not been oxcelled by any place of amusement, in this city, for a year past—and one that will surely draw as large = house as has been seen there within the same time. The performances will commence with the “ Iron Chest, or the Mysterious Murder,” a play that hasin numerous instances been rece! with the loudest applause. In this piece Mr. Booth, the celebrated tragedian, will take the part of Sir Edward Mortimer, a character that he is eminently qualified to act in atruthful and correct manner. After which, the petite opera, the “ Swiss Cottage,” and the grand drama, “ Sixteen String Jack,”’ oast tothe strength of the company, will be performed. These three pieces compose a bill, the equal of which, as we have stated, is not often presented in this city. The Ravels were expected at Cincinnatiduring the present week. "Mrs. Mowatt hes made a second engagement at the ‘thenseum, Cincinnati. ‘Miss Mary Lee is said to have retired from the stage,in consequence of the delicate state of her health. One of Tom Thumb’s ponies has lately died. Musical. Irauian Orrna.—Signora Pico had such a house last evening as made her friends glad to behold; and the opera of “ L’Elisir d’Amore” was well performed, and handsomely received. Pico was in good voice, and, of course, sang charmingly. Beneventano, Benedetti, and Sanquirico all performed to admiration the th undertook to perform. In fact, it Is hardly to be dou! that this opera would have been received with far better grace than was the “ Barber of Seville.” At the fall of the curtain, after the first act, Pico was loudly called "for, and came out to receive the plaudits of her nume- rous friends. Mlle. Dimier appeared hetween the acts, and danced “La Manola,” which was encored. The performances all passed off charmingly. Sicron Raretti’s Benerit takes place at Palmo’s on Monday evening, and will afford. his many friends an op- portunity of showing their regard for this excellent mu- sician. The opera selected by Sig. R., is “ Lucia di Lam- mermoor,’’ added to which there will be several perform- ances to fill up the evening agreeably. Mecnaxics’ Havt.—Christy and his associates give one of their most attractive concerts this evening. Every night during the week their soirées have been crowded to overflowing, with the most-select and fashionable audiences we have ever seen attending any amusement in this city. The greater portion of their patrons are ladies, which i strong evidence of the chastness and propriety of their entertainments. Go early if you wish to sccure a seat, as hundreds are unable to obtain ad- mission nightly. Vavrnatu.—Mr. Philips and his company of vocalists are attracting numbers to this garden. Mr. Jones is de- termined that the amusements in his establishment shall not be, inferior to any other in the city. He has engaged the’ Ethiopian Serenaders for next week. Amusements of this kind must be very agreeable to the up-town folks, after the day's toil is over. CastLx Ganven.—We visited, last evening, this do- lightful theatre of amusement and health, and!were astonished at seeing the small patronage bestowed upon the proprietors, who have spared no expense to make it the most olegant amphitheatre in the world. This is the more surprising,whena full brass band, under the super- intendence of Mr. Munck, perform every evening, seyeral melodious pieces of Strauss, Labitsky, Lanner, Gungland others, the sweet echo of which is heard on the Battery. The beautiful views of the Cosmoramas, age various parts of the world, is value enough for the #1 admission arg! But when the view of our own beau- tiful harbor is taken into calculation, the rich scenery and magnifi Bay, from which refreshing breezes of sweet odour are inhaled, inflating the lungs with the purest quality of air, and consequently renovating the constitution, it is, indeed, surprising that Castle Garden is not crowded every evening. ‘The Havana company of Italian singers will arrive here on the Sth of June (to-day week,) and will open at the Park on the 7th.

The nature of the latter pleading ppesemenee may be better conceived by the following brief synopsis: — First Part—Season— Spring-time— Suns et— May-daj eve.—Maia, (Queen of May,) in a pleasant grove, visited by Flora and her attendant Florads (presidin, over flowers.) They are followed by the sea nymp) Iris, (the rainbow); Zephyras, (the gentle west winds, whose sweet breath is fabled to have produced fruits and flowers,) with attendant Fairies. After greeting the Queen elect, all retire—Maia at twilight is visited by the Pleiades, (her sisters—fabled as presiding over spring,)— offering presented by.Merope, a sister ciad—Twilight closes—Maia retires.

Gardner.—4ssault with a Dangerous Weapon.—Frederick Lacoy was arrested yesterday even- ing, on the Battery, by Deputy Marshal Morrison, on a charge of assault with intent to kill. From the testi- mony it appeared that Lacoy and another man named Jacob Horch, a German, were sailors on board the Ame- rican schooner Macon; that on the 25tth of April last, while the vessel lay in the harbor of Porto Rico, a dis- pute arose between them in consequence of reflections made by Lacey on some member of Horch’s family, upon which Horch attempted to strike Lacoy ; the latter caught Horch’s thumb and put it in his mouth the were then separated, after which Horch went om dec and was soon after followed by Lacoy, who drew his knife and rushed at Horch; the latter to save himself slid over the side of the vessel, and in the act of ot #0 Lacoy cut him with his knife, inflicting a deep woun: from the but of the ear down the side of his neck for about two inches. He was afterwards taken out of the water nearly smothered, and was unable to do duty for some time. The vessel came in here in the early part of the week, and the moment she came into dock Lacoy left her, without being paid his wages, and enlisted for } co. He was ing about the Battery when tak ‘The Commissioner committed him for trial. Common Pueas, May 28.—Before Judge Ulshoeffer— Henry Riell vv Manual Truessello and another.—This was anaction for a breach of contract. The plaintiff alleged that the defendants had entered into a contract to supply him for three months with a certain quantity of cigars, which they afterwards refused to perform. The defence set up was twofold; first, that the contract, if any, was not under the statute of frauds, it not being re- duced to writing; and secondly, that the plaintiff him- self was the first to violate it by not performing the con- dition precedent, which was to deliver his notes, Verdict for defendants.

Mr. Henderson, Spencer, Moore, Pennington, Finch, Howell, Williams. Garth’ Deputies to General Convention—Dr. Barry, Dr. Ogil- by, and Dr. Dunn being put in nomination by the clergy, it became necessary for the laity to sanction it; where- upon the Rev. Mr. Sherman (understood to be a low- churchman) rose and asked leave to speak on the sub- ject; this brought Mr. Ogden to the floor, who made some sharp but courteous remarks on the right of the Rev. gentleman to speak on a question of the laity, when he ‘was not entitled to a yote with the clergy, being only a rector elect of the parish of Bellville. Hon. W. A. Derr then moved that the vote for depu- ties be taken separately, in order that if any objection oul tee to either candidate, it could be better ox- pressed. A viva voce vote being taken, that the order of the baci be departed from, it was desided in the nega- tive. ‘A motion to reconsider was objected to by the Bishop, on the ground of its being unconstitutional and unprece- dented, The Bishop has great presence of mind on such occasions, and being fully impressed with the “eternal fitness of things,” doer not like such attempts to subvert the order established. This little burst of, feeling or apparently,a minor consideration, is a bud of the same order that burst upon the New York convention in 1835, and which bids fair to share a similar fate. Several members took part in the discussion, pending which; the Convention adjourned to Monday, at nine o’cleck A. M. Divine service was:performed in the evening, and a sermon prone by Rev. ‘at eye panera De clergy and delegates participated in the hospi es, &e., provided by the charming lady who dispenses the charities of a liberal fortune at Riverside. I should not be surprised if an animated discussion ‘arose out of the question of the Deputies and General Convention, from what I learn of one or two members. The Bishop will not permit it to assume an angry or dis- courteous tone, for, although willing to “tolerate error, where reason is left free to combat it,’’ his position in the Convention as President and Bishop, is one that in- volves the necessity of a character for good order and christian sobriety. He may also be said to be the ke: stone in the arch which supports the diocese; for the Episcopal fund is a mere bagatelle, and wore it not for the large private fortune brought him by his wife, the lendid chapel which adjoins St. Mary’s Hall, indeed e very Hall itself where 150 female students are 1e- ceiving ‘a christian education, as well also Burlington College, were still in embryo.

Our latest advices from Mexico are rather more favor- able, but it is impossible to tell what a day or on hour may bring forth. There appears to havo boon a change in the feelings of the better class of citizens in Mexico towards the United States, and thore are evidently more indications of a spoedy cessation of hostilities, than we have before observed. 3 Messrs. Leavitt & Swift have been re-elected trustees of the Illinois and Michigan Canal, on the part of the foreign bendholders, for the next two years. A move- ment has recently been made by the resident bondhold- ers to have the salaries of these trustees reduced. It appears that the trustee, on the part of the State, re- ceives only $2,500 @ year, and has all the duties to per- form, while the two on the part of the bondholders re- ceive $5,000 each, and give very little of thelr time or attention to tho work. They do not make their appear- ance on the line of the canal oftener than once in a year; and, in consequence of their absence, ruinous de- lays have been experienced. Thig should be remedied, and upon proper representations being made to the pro- per parties, we have no doubt it will be.. ‘The receipts for the week ending the 9th of May, are not included in the above statement. It is believed that the tolls this year will be more than $700,000; that sum was the estimate of the State Auditor last fall, and there is every probability of its being reached. The receipts of the Western Railroad Company last } week, were over $27,000, being an increase of $10,000 over those for the corresponding period in 1846. The above is the largest week’s business ever done on the road. Avery important case has recently been decided in South Carolina, relative to the saleof stock pledged as security for Moan. It appears that the Charlestor Bank loaned its customer $30,000, and received in pledgo stock of the Railroad and Bank Company to the amount of 544 shares, as collateral security. The note was not paid at maturity; and at the request of the debtor time was given from 8th December, 1838, to January 4, 1842; when, after tull notice, the stock was sold in open market by a broker, and bid off at the full market price, by a presi- dent of the bank, who caused the amount of sales to be carried to the credit of the debt. The stock was bid off at about $15 per share; some months after it appreciated, and was sold at a considerable profit. In November, 1845, this bill was filed to compel the bank to give credit for their re-sale, on the ground that being trustees to sell, they could not buy themselves, and as trustees must account for “all their profits to their cestui que trust, and so Chancellor Job Johnson, in an elaborate decree, decided. An appeal was taken by the bank to the Appeal Court of Equity, and was argued at its late sitting. The Appeal Court reversed the decree, and dismissed the bill, thus affirming the validity of the sale. Many large cases were awaiting this decision, and thousands would have been put in litigation if the de- cree had been sustained. The positions maint ained by the bank, and sustained by the appeal court were these : 1st. Because, after the default, there was in fact no fiduciary relations between the bank and its borrower, in the'just sense of the terms. There was no obligation to serve, and no compensation for seryice. The stock was actually sold to the bank, and transferred at the incep- tion of the debt; and after the default, was the!property of the bank, who were only bound té give credit for it at the time payment was peremptorily demanded, which they did. 2d. Because the usage of banks is obligatory on its customers, authorizing, in case a redemption is not effected, salo by a public broker, as | common agent; and the creditor, having an interest, is authorized to protect his interest, by bidding; otherwise, in case of in- solvency of the debtor, they could not secure themselves by giving the highest bid at auction. ‘The public works of Ohio have this year been highly productive, The annexed statement exhibits theamount of tolls received and paid into the State Treasury, for the six months ending May 15th, in each of the past two years.
