NEW ‘New York, Sunday, June 13, 1847. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. THE SUNDAY AND WEEKLY HERALD, In order to obviate, for the future, the necessity ot our patrons making complaints about the Sunday Herald, which they say they cannot procure from the newsboys without submitting to ashave, and to ensure its being @elivered regularly, we have completed some arrange- ments by which all who subscribe to it in this city, Brooklyn, Williamsburgh and Jersey City, will receive it at an early hour every Sunday morning, at two cents per week, payable to the carriers. We desire the pub- Ne to understand that the price of the Sunday Herald 4s the same as that of any other day. We have also arranged, for the convenience ofall who wish to subscribe tothe Weekly Herald, that it will be delivered at their places of residence every Saturday morning, at six cents per weck, payable in like manner to the carriers. Subsoribers will please leave their names and resi- ences in the publication office, northwest corner of Fulton and Nassau streets. Those who do not receive the paper regularly are requested to notify us of the irregularity. We believe that for the future there will ‘be no eause for complaint. ‘The Isthmus of Tehuantepec. We shall publish in the Herald of to-morrow, or next day, a complete and perfect map of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and the adjoinintcoun- try, showing at a glance the facilities it possesses for forming a connection between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It contains the surveys made by order of the Mexican government for a canal, a Macadamized road, and also a rail- road. It willbe a valuable map for future re- ference. News from E Two ocean steamers, the Christophe Colomb, from France, and Cambria, from England, will soon arrive with very late news from Europe. They are looked for with considerable interest. The Cambria sailed on the 4th inst.; the Chris- tophe Colomb was to have sailed between the 30th ult. and 5th inst. The general opinion is that she sailed either on the 31st ult. or the Ist. inst. The River and Harbor Convention. The veto of the River and Harbor Bill, during one of the most perfect specimens of ocean steam- ships in the world. She will have two marine engines, of eleven hundred and twenty-five horse power each, the cost of which, with the machi- nery, will be one hunded and fifteen thousand dollars. The diameter of the cylinders of these engines is eighty inches with nine feet stroke. She will have four wrought iron boilers with iron shafts and cranks, as well as iron water wheels—all of which will be furnished by the firm of T. F. Secor & Co. We had the pleasure yesterday of witnessing the casting of the bed plate for this new steamer, and were both astonished and interested in the process. Fortwo months past, Messrs. Secor & Co. have been making preparations for the work, and when we inform our readers that it was the largest and heaviest work of the kind that was ever performed in the United States, weighing forty-three thousand pounds of metal, they can form a conception of its magnitude, and the extreme nice care, caution, and skill that was required in every step that was taken in the moulding and casting. For several hours previous to the time appoint- ed for the casting of this ponderous piece of work, all the hands connected with the casting department of this extensive establishment were engaged in preparing the metal, and getting matters in readiness. The capacious iron buck- ets were raised by a windlass as soon as they were successively filled, and their contents of molten iron, reduced to the fluidity of oil by the force of the fire, emptied into the reservoirs, which were placed at the extreme ends of the mould which was destined to shape the great body of metal. At ten minutes past four, all things being in readiness, every*man was di- rected to take his proper station, and ata quarter past four precisely the sluices of the two reser- voirs were opened by levers, and the metal escaped from its confinement and rushed into the cavity prepared for its reception. In three minutes exactly the cavity was filled, as the superabundant metal flowing from the vent prepared for its escape, plainly announced. The whole affair was conducted in an admirable manner. Although some fifty or sixty workmen were engaged in it, no one interfered or was in another’s way. Every man knew his place and the last session of Congress, ‘it is well known, caused much dissatisfaction throughout the country, and particularly in the Northwest, where the facilities for river and harbor naviga- tion are inadequate to the growing and increas- ing trade of that region. The want of these facilities being severely felt by those directly interested in the trade of the West, but not being generally known by the people, a public meeting was held in Chicago some “time since, to take into consideration suitable measures to be adopted to remove the respect. At that meeting several distinguished gentlemen were appointed a committee to | t draft an address to the country, setting forth to it. Every person present we are confident felt gratified when it was announced by Mr. Secor that a more successful casting was never made. the premises, and a recommendation that a convention of delegates from all parts of the Union meet in Chicago on the Sth day of July next, for the purpose of discussing the pro- priety and necessity of improving the rivers and harbors of the West. This address will be found in another part of this day’s Herald. In accordance with this recommendation, we perceive that several cities and towns in the South, West and East have taken steps to send delegates. On the 10th inst., Albany moved in the matter; and at a public meeting held there, twenty-four persons, whigs and democrats, were named as delegates. On the same day a public meeting was held in Boston, and a great number of delegates selected. The merchants of New York have likewise moved in the matter, and called a pub- lic meeting on Wednesday next to appoint dele- g tes. The Chicago Convention will, without doubt, be one of the most important that has ever been held in the United States. The whole country is directly interested in its deliberations, and will look with interest to these proceedings.— The most distinguished men, from all the prin- cipal cities and towns in the Union, will be pre- sent as delegates, and the greatest unanimity will prevail, it is expected, among them. Anoruer Trivmen or American Sxrt.—We consider every step which our citizens make in the sciences, or the mechanic arts, a subject of pride to every American—to him who resides in the interior of our western wilds, as well as to him who resides in this, or any other Atlantic city. Inno department has American skill so signally triumphed as in ship building. Fora series of years past, from time to time, have our builders produced vessels, that, whilst they ex- cited the admiration of foreigners, conferred the highest credit on our mechanics and ship- builders. Our envious friends on the other side of the Atlantic, notwithstanding all their prejudices, and their reiterated{ statements that America could produce nothing, en- titled to rank as even tolerable, have been forced to admit, that in the art and science of ship building, the Yankees, as they persist in styling all Americans, have out- atripped the whole world—even themselves. | This admission, though tardily and unwillingly rendered, is no more than just; but we appre- bend that a similar cause will ere long force from them another acknowledgement, and that they will, before many months, admit that if the Americans have outstripped them in ship build- ing, they can do the same in building ocean steamers. They have yetto see the first ocean steamer constructed in the United States by | American workmen, and they have yet to express | their astonishment at the rapid voyage which that steamship will undoubtedly make, under the direction of an American captain, and manned by Americans exclusively, for we are informed that there is not asingle foreigner among her crew. The art of steamship building has only com- menced inthe United States; but young and in- experienced as we are in that line, we appre- hend that the Washington, which has recently left our shores, and the other vessels which are | in process of construction, will never tarnish the reputation of our mechanics, but on the con- trary will add to their character in foreign coun- tries as well as at home. The keels of several steamships, besides the Washington, have recently been laid; and ere many months are past, the flag of our country will be carried by steam to every port of consequence in the Old World. We have, on former oc- casions, spoken in favorable terms of the Ocean Steam Navigation Company, and of the company in which E. K. Collins, Esq., isthe | head. We have now to speak of a private com- pany, formed by C. H. Marshall, Esq. and others, | which has determined on pushing the science of | steam navigation to the utmost limit of perfec- tion on their ownaccount, and independent alto- gether ofthe government. This company in- tend to build four steamships forthe New Or- | Jeans and Liverpool trade—the average burthen of each of which will be twenty-one hundred tons, carpenter's measurement. Wm. H. Webb, Esq., so well known tothe mercantile commu: | nity, and indeed to the whole world, as one of our most skilful ship builders, has contracted for the building of the first vessel of this teresting. The moment the metal was freed from its confinement, the numerous vents shot forth streams of flame that reached nearly as high as the ceiling—eome fifty feet-—and the busy hum of the admiring spectators, with the evils which the West complains of in this} ing «which was pictured it nances of the proprietors, who were so deeply in- the comme2cement of a new era in the history of our country. A few years since the accom- plishment of such a great undertaking was out of the question, but now it is done with compa- his duty, and kept in the one and attended to the other. During the three minutes that elapsed from the opening of the sluices to the escape of the waste metal, the spectacle was brilliant and in- in the undertak- on the counte- anxiety for success rested in its success, added increased interest This great work is worthy of being considered rative ease. We congratulate Messra. Secor & Co., andthe country at large, on the success which attended the casting of the engine beds of the steamship United States yesterday. Tue Carco oF rue MacgpontaN.—This fine frigate has cleared for Cork, and the following is a list of her cargs Tue Canrco or THe Macrponian. Clothing, package. 30 Rye, bbls Rice, tierees.. Potatoes“. er he 6 Corn, “ .. Beef, “ . Pork, “ Flour, “ Meal,“ ‘Tea, chests. F This is quite a large cargo, and will be received with much joy by the starving people for whom it is intended. c We hope that the frigate will have a quick and prosperouspassage. She will sail to-morrow. Matt ror Boston via Stoninaton.—The mail steamers Oregon, and Vanderbilt, will leave on and after to-morrow, the Mth inst., at 6 o’clock in the afternoon, instead of 5, as heretofore.— These steamers are so ‘‘very fast,” they expect to land passengers in Boston in advance of the other lines, after giving one hour the start. The Eastern mail will probably close one hour later. Well, nous verrons. Revrer ror IRELAND —The ladies at Wetump- ka, Ala., held a fair for the poor of Ireland, and collected $564, which will be remitted py the steamer of the 16th inst., via Boston. Movemxnrs, &c.—The Hon. Richard Rush, accompanied by his family, sailed yesterday in the packet ship Duchess d’Orleans for Havre. Musical. Pang Tueatar.—The last performance of the “Two Foscari” (third night of the season) took place last night, before a numerous audience, and went off very well, We must mention, however, that Perelli, the te nor, was fatigué, and omitted his part in the first and third acts. Signora Rainieri sung better than ever, and Vita did the same, But the great feature of the perfor- mance was the duo, the “ Bohemian Feast,” by Arditi and Botesinl. ‘These two artists were received with an enthusinsm difficult to describe. Our readers will be glad to know something about this wonderful piece of music, We shall divide it into three distinct parta—the introduction, the andante, and tho dansante. The first of these is # mixture of melodies and sweet accords, aston- ishing in their precision, Signor Botesini isan oddity. For the second part he performs some harmonical notes, which acems to us the most difficult thing ever attempt- ed on such an instrument as the double bass. But the wouder of wonders is, to be sure, the dansante. Sappowe a player obliged to jump from the top of that immense hanulle to the bridge, performing the most, admirable dancing melody—this is executed by Botesini, and so well, thut we must call him the Max Bobrer, the Casella, the king of the contra-baseo. Both Arditi and Botesini called before the curtain, ‘and received by ‘Tedesco appears to-morrow night in the 4 opera of “Sapho,” by maestro Pacini Apr Senor D. Jose Villarino, the skilful manager of the Italian were , will give a splendid musical entertain- ment at the Park Theatre, on Thursday evening next, to celebrate the birth-day of Dona Manuela Barges de O'Donnel. the wife of the Governor General of Cubs. whose protection has been so favorable to the furmation of the present opera company. ‘The front of the theatre will be illuminated and decorated with the American. Spanish, and Italian flags. The entire company will sing a Spanish poem written by Senor Villarino, the music of which ia composed by the Maestri: Botesino and Ardit, ‘The opera of “Hernani”’ will then follow, sung by Tedesco, Perelli, and Vita. We understand, also, that a supper ambigis will be ready after the play is over. Castie Ganven.—This beautiful theatre of health and amusement no doubt will be visited by thousands this evening, to inhale pure air and to hear Dodworth’s cele- brated band perform the sacred pieces set forth in the programme. How refreshing, invigorating and de- lightful it is to sit on the baleony and view the vessels passing to and fro s magnificent bay, and while also glancing at the blue, ethereal vault of heaven, with miver clouds, reflecting variegated tints from the setting sun— to hear thrilling strains of music, dedicated to the Au- thor of the universe and the benefactor of mankind. Vavinatt Ganpes.—To-morrow evening the Camp- bells will again appear at the Vauxhall Concert Sa- loon, The performances will be for the benefit of Mirs Jeanie Reynoldson, who will make her last appearance, The band which discourses sweet sounds from the vio- lin, banjo, tamborine and castinetts is composed of those inimitable artists, Menara. Mestayer, Carter, Raymond, Bryant and Donaldson. There are to be twenty-three pisces, with an intermission of half an hour between the first and second parte of the performance. The entranc from Broadway is now so convenient that itis no won: persona seek this weable resort in great m (ea to enor an Svening's ght entertainment, ‘Things are well done at Vauxhall. ) Sivori and Herz made a brilliant close of their per- line—the United States, the keel of whi was laid some time ago; and the extensive | firm of T.

Dem Whi .—There has lately been quite astir inthis city and Albany, occasioned by the singular appearance on one of the Hudson river steamers, of a white female in company with a black man. We think that we cannot do better than to give the statement of the negro, and also, that of the Boston Liberator, re- lative to the affair. ‘To those who know the facts in the case these statements will speak for thembelves. They are very peculiar, and very funny: ‘From the Boston Liberator, June 11.) The only thing we regret is, that one of the best and noblest of her sex, in her humane anxiety to secure for Mr, Douglass the’ usual accommodations granted to white travellers on the Hudson river, that his health might not be periled by exposure, should have effected her purpoge by # violation of the rules of the boat,which preclude any colored person from occupying a state onl, Or cueing ‘@ Sombetable berth: Thess rales are most unreasonable and cruel; but they are not to be subverted by stealth, which only irri. tates and hardens the spirit which framed them. ‘They must be conquered openly, and through much suffering. We highly appreciate her generous self-forgetfulness, and the humane impulses by which she was actuated; but we think she commit- ted an error of judgment. With the harmlessness of the dove, she did not in this instance blend the wisdom ofthe serpent; and thus she subjected herself and friend to foul reproaches and frenzied maledictions, It shows that too much heed cannot be given to the apostolic ad- monition, to shun the very appearance of evil. It hap- pens, unfortunately, that Capt. Cruttenden, of the Hen- drick Hudson. is peculiarly inimical to the abolitionists, and raving with colorphobia; and hence, there is no luck of disposition on his part to’ pus the vilest construction upon an act a8 pure, as divinterested, and as benevolent ay was ever conceived by the human heart, or executed by human will. We are told that he formerly kept the City Hotel in New York, and derived nb small amount of putrouage from southern sojourvers in that city. (xtraet from the statement of Douglass.) I will now state the circumstances of this transaction, in my own way, and shall admit all that I know to be true, and deny all that I know to be fulse in the above statement. On Monday, May 10th, 1 was in company with my wife, at Albany, where I went to see my daugh- ter, whom | had not seen for nearly two years, Having been announced to speak the next morning at the anni- versury meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society in New York, and suffering under severe cold and hoarseness, and well knowing the brutal manner in which colored persons are unitormly treated in steamers ou the Hudson river—compelled sometimes to stroll the decks nearly all night, before they ean get a place to lie nd that pluce frequently untit for a dog's accom- d being unwilling to risk my heulth to any such chances, | availed myself of the Kindness of my friend alluded to, who secured for me a state room on board of the Hendrick Hudson; and also secured the adjoining one for herself’ On going into mine, in the evening, 1 found, as above stated, that the two rooms communicated with each other by » door. But # thought of its propriety or impropriety | never crossed my mind; and, at that time. ! did not know but!that every state room on board communicated iow similar manner. Myself and friend conversed toge- ther during the evening, when she went to her state room, aud | remained in mine. I neither saw nor heard ty friend till next morning, when we landed at New York. I then went to her state room door to assist her with her baggage; and after walking about a full half hour in the presence of the Captain, while the crowd was preasing on shore, we left the steamer together, with- out the slightest sign of disapprobation that I could see from auy quarter. On my return from New York, my friend secured similar state rooms, and we ocpupied them, without the least interruption from the captain, or any officer, servant, or passenger on board, When we left the steamer in the morning, the captain did ut- ter some filthy remarke, culling me @ ‘nigger,’ &e., and telling me never to take & state room on board his steam- er again, | made no reply, but went off about my bui ness, well knowing that my color was the cause of his brutality, and that, had I been « white man, | might have occapied the state rooms « dozen time: , with out calling forth any foul imputations from himeelf, or any one else. Ax to what is alleged to have been said by my friend to the chambermaid, it may or may not be true; and, true or false, it is 9 small matter.— We needed neither bolts, bars, nor locks, to keep us in the path of yirtue and rectitude. Theatricaly. Boweny Tueatne.—Wo porovive that the manager of this popular place of amusement has announced his de- termination torevive the national drama of “Ethan Allen, or The Green Mountain Boys of 1776,” which had sueh a very successfulrun hero ashort time since, Wethink that the re-production of this much admired drama would ve a very judicious movement, aud ono that will bo very acceptable to the theatre-going public. It will be performed to-morrow evening, with the comedy of “A ‘Tompkins Blue,” and the grand spectacle of the “Bronze Horse.” It is not at ull strange that the Bowery is well yupported, as it Ja, when we see such bills as this put rth. Mingrva Rooms.—Mons. De Lapierre, from Paris, will exhibit, on Monday evening, for the first time in this country, Evanescent Dioramic Views, invented and painted by Mons. Daggerre, which form a succession of architectural, historical, and marine effects. He wil also produce the Oxy-Hydrogen Microscope, which has an extraordinary power of magnifying, so as that the finest needle appears as large as a weavers beam, The entertainments will end with the Chromatrope, the evo- lutions and rich varied colors of which have been ad- mired by old and young. Vocal and instrumental music accompany the exhibition. Mile. Blangy is, of course, well received in Boston. In fact, she is creating a sensation at the Athenmum, Ciocea and Fanny Mantin are still at the Louisville theatre.

New Yonx, June 12th, 1847, 1e whusf at the foot of Vesoy street, this witners to a piece of most wilful rascali- ty, the perpetrators of which should be arrested and made amenable to the offended laws of the country. A sloop laden with stone, bound tor Bridgeport, was coming down the river under a press of canvass, when she was met by ® large schooner under ballast—the sloop to the windward of her, They sailed close to each other tor a few miuntes, the sloop appearing to take the wind from the achooner's sails, when, suddenly, the latter steered straight into the sloop, tearing her mainsail into ribbons, and striking the; man atthe helm, who wae mate of the versel, and killing him on the apo (so I was informed by two of the hands, who came ashore in the yawi boat.) The schooner, imi* ediately after striking the sloop, continued on her course as if nothing had happen- ed. ‘The crew of the disabled vessel were so bewildered, that they did not M4 notice of the name of the schoon- ‘morning ‘police, from a Mr. Morse, of Baltimore, stating that he had the Mary Fox, now in in Baltimore, and her arrest she has she was the same individual who was su) tohave been abducted called Michael Hare, a few weeks Or cma raword of $260 has been offered by het diaconss, late parents. Upon receivi Immediately left the elty for accompanied by officer Leonard, one of the chief's aids, in order to bri her back to the city. From the telegraphic communi- cation we were unable to ascertain whether Hare was the man who abducted this unfortunate girl, or some other individual.

In the eve- ning they will partake of @nner in Constitution Hall, in this city. Sv1cipe—Information was last evening communicated to Coroner Wal that a young gentleman by the name of Joseph D. Sileock had committed suicide st No 174 Spring street, by taking lsudanum. As the family had not, ut a late hour yesterday, apprised the Coroner of the occurrence, we are at present unable to give the particular circumstances connected th ith. From what we could learn, it appeared that the deceased on Friday procured some laudanum from a druggist of his acquaintance, which he took, after addressing communications to his friends, intimating his intention of destroying himself. Short- ly after swallowing the poison, the suspicions of the family were excited, aud medical aid immediately pro- cured, and the stomach pump applied, but all to no pur- pose; the draught had taken too deep hold upon the system, and he shortly afterwards expired. Such are the facts of the case as fer as we could obtain them. We perceive that the interment of the deceased is adver- tised to take place to-day; inthe mean time we presume the coroner will thoroughly investigate the case, and ascertain the cause of death. Tue Kyowina One Matcneo.—A man named Law- rence Cunningham, his wife, and one Ross McDonald, after imbibing too much spirituous liquor, at Lullman’s grocery store, at the corner of Greenwich and King sts., on Friday night, proceeded towards Hammersley street, where the deceased and his wife had some worda, which caused the latter to retire to her quarters at the corner of King and West streets. Her husband yesterday morn- ing was found a corpse, but atanding peright, in the ap at the foot of King street Whether he walked o! the pier or committed suicide by jumping into the slip while ins state of intoxication, the jury were unable to they, however, after rendering their verdict in accordance with the foregoing facts, united ina re- quest to the Mayor to take from Lullman his license, on the grounds that a person who is so void of berry) as not to be able to decide whether a person is under the influence of liquor or not, (as inferred from his testimo- ny before the Coroner,) is not @ proper individual to vend spirituous liquors.

Eugene Ma- guire, ‘'homas Daly, John Curoe, Dennis Wheeler, of the Diocesan Seminary, and Augustin Regnier, Charles Scheausky, Augustus Choler, of the Society of Jesus. On the 29th ult. the Right Rev. Dr. Purcell, in the Cathedral, Cincinnati. conferred minor orders on Messrs. Casper Burgess and Louis Kavinzel. Mr. Peter Cyril Delacroix and Mr. Thomas Boulger received sub-deacon- ships, and on the 3ist they were raised to the order of deucons. The same reverend gentlemen received the Priesthood on the 3d instant. On the 2d instant, the Right Rev. Dr. Fitzpatrick, Bishop of Boston, in the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, confirmed 620 persons—among whom were many con- verts. Mr. Mathew Wright, recently deceased in Washing- ton City, has bequeathed the liberal amount of ten thou- sand dollars to the Catholic Orphan Asylum. Galignani’s Messenger states :—“ Nine men and three women publicly abjured Romanism on Sunday last, in Dublin, in the church of St. Audeon.” ‘Two of the former were priests, Rev. Dr Beatty, superior of the convents of Drogheda, Athlone, Waterford, and Multi- farnham, and Rev. Mr. Brennan, priest of the parish of Creeve in the diocese of Elphin, Dr. Beatty was or- dained by the late Pope Gregory XVI., and enjoyed such reputation that he was chosen by the’ regular clergy of the convents above named to be the superior of their respective houses. One of the converts was wife of & magistrate, another was student in the college of Gal- way, under Dr. O'Toole. We learn from the Univers, that there is evory proba- bility of s speedy arrangement of the matters in dispute | between the Holy See and the government of ‘in. ‘An to the first of the two questions agitated. that of dis- cipline, nomination of bishops, &c., the Holy See and the government are already of accord. The second ques- tion, tbat of church property, was to be reserved for fa- ture negotiations. Rev. Father McElroy reached New Orleans on the 22d of May; on the 23d he left for St. Louis, thence to come on to Georgetown St. Patrick's Chureh, Montreal, was opened perma- nently for divine service on Sunday the 23d ult. It con- tains 400 pews, each pew to hold four persons, making altogether room for sixteen hundred sitters, besi which nearly as many more may be aceommodated in the aisles, ‘The following information was communicated by the Rev. 8. H, Fisher, the corresponding delegate from the German Reformed Synod. to the Synod of the Reformed Dutch Church now holding its sessions in this city ‘There are 239 ministers belonging to the three synods of the German Reformed Church, Of this number, 74 off- ciate exclusively in the German language, 66 exclusively in the English language, and 96 in both the German and English languages. ‘The exclusively English portion of the church is tolerably well supplied with the ministra- tions of the gospel; the supply from the seminary being nearly equal to the demand of this department. The main deficiency exists in the portion of the church re- quiring services both in thé German and English lan- guages. Ministers, therefore, who can officiate in both of these languages are greatly needed. In addition to the demands for missionary labor by the immigrant German population, there are about #00 organized con- egations in conncctien with the church, for the sup- ply of which there are only about 200 ministers. ‘There are sbout 80.000 persons in communion with the church. According to the published statistics, which, however, are very imperfect, 3,416 have been added to the chureh during! the last syuodical year. “The theological veni- nary has an original permanent fund of $14,000. The professors have bem supported for some time mainly by collections taken up in the churches for that purpose. ‘There are about 60 young men in our institutions. in the tages of preparation for the ministry, of whom beneticiaries, sustained by our different education A foreign missionary station at Broota is by the church, under the direction of the A can board, Thero is also nominal board of domestic missions, but nearly all the classes have their separate missionary boards, each i one or more missionaries under their care, The important duty of electing bishop was recently performed in Cork, Ireland.

MONEY MARKET. Me Saturday. June 12.6 P.M. Quotations for stocks took a turn to-day, and the movement is again upward, with an increased impetus. At the first board to-day Pennrylvania 5’s advanced ¢ per cent; Reading Mortgage Bonds Reading Bonds 3M; Reading Railroad, 1; Farmers’ Loan ; United States Bank 4; Canton %; Harlem 3; Long Island \; Nor- Mlinois fell off 3{; Indiana and Morris Canai closed at yesterday ’s prices, At the second board Harlem improved 2 per cent; Long Jeland #; Reading 34; Norwich and Worcester %, on prices current in the morning. ‘There appears tobe a very general advance in quota- tions for stocks, and we see at present nothing in the po- litical, financial, or commercial horizon likely to check very soon the inflation going on in prices. The money market never was easier. The rate of interest rules at four and five per cent. The banks are full of money, which they are anxious to loan, and there is every pros- pect of these good times being long drawn out. It is about time; things have been kept in a contracted s1 long enough to satisfy the most desperate bear. Tho Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Company have given notice that a dividend of «ix per cent. on the fund- od debt of the company, or what ismore familiarly known as the common loan, will be paid on account of the back interest due thereon, on and after the Ist of July next, at the offive of the company, in this city. ‘The Supreme Court in Bane of Obio appointed some time since a commissioner to examine into the condi- tion of the Ohio Life and Trust Company; and a report has been made, after a close and careful investigation of the books of the concern, in relation to each separate branch of business. The commissioner in his report ways. — “Ita affairs are managed with prudence, ability, and safety ; that the standing rules relating to thix depart- ment. have been faithfully obverved; that more of its outstanding debts in proportion to the amount of ite business. than could reasonably be expected, and available, as coutradistinguished from unavailable means; that no issues or «vid have been issued ‘in forms not permitted by No isgues or evidences of debt have 0 iseued payable in anything but money, or otherwise than on demand, ex: cept eortiticntes of deposit for limited periods on interest. as distinguished from general deposits under the rules of the company. “No transaction, usage, or act of the company, has come to the notice of the commissioner, which is unau- thorized by the charter, or prejudicial to the public in- terest. Under this head, your commissioner deemed it he company, and accordingly examined under oath the President, Jashier, and Discount Clerk of the bank. ing department. This investigation enables the com- missioner to state. that no greater rate of interest than six per centum per annum has in any case been charged upon ounted paper; that no part of the funds of said institution are directly or indirectly employed by the company. or any of ite officers or agents as brokers. except in the manner specified in their report ; and that they are not either as individuals, or as ® corporation engaged in say other business, * either prohibited by, or contrary to the pulicy of the laws of this State, or calou- lated to affect the credit of said company.’ “As the confidence of the public must, in a greater or leas degree, depond upon the reputation of the institu tion for its solvency, aud ability to pay ite liabilities. 1 have thought it my duty to submit some of the reasons that have induced the above conclusion. All losses, ns soon as ascertained, are charged to account of Profit and Loas, and deducted from the assota of the company Besides which, there are a number of instance which real estate, or other securities, have been taken in fall payment of debts due the company, and charged upon the books at the prices thus taken. Subsequent events have in some instances determined and in others the trusters have presumed, from reliable information. that these securities were not worth the nominal sums at which they were taken have deuucted from those amounts such sums as is believed bring them in most instanees to their actual value—the excess between the nominal and true value being charged to Profit and Loss. After making all the deductions as abeve stated, there still remained on the 13th of May instant, an ex: cena of assets, over and above all linbilities, including the cupital steck, of $321,759 57. This amount is con- fidently believed to be more than sufficient to cover any probable losses which can be reasonubly or fairly unti- cipated. If further proof is necessary, in order to sa- tisfy the doubte,of wll, it nay be found ‘in the fact, that the stoek of this company is sought after at pur, and even at « premium, by persons who have the most ample means of Judging of ite value and safety as an invest- ment. When we take into consideration the extent and mag- nitude of the dealings of the company. and that. in the purchase and sale of the siogle item of vilis of exchang~ alone, their transactions amount to over ten millions of dollars for the year ending with the lact report, and that the balance of ‘their xuspouded debt, up to the same pe- ried. is only one hundred aed twenty thourand dollars: which has sinve beeu reduced to about $7040 (much of which is of long standing) it becones difficalt to re- sint the conclusion that, in the management of ite affairs ita officers have exhibited more than ordinary xkill and pradence, and those “holding its engayements Have in this alone @ strong guaranty of the “safety” of the iusti- tution.
