Our readers will find in the Herald of, this morning, the first day’s proceedings of the River and Harbor Convention, held at Chicago, re- ported by our special correspondent, whom we despatched from this city. We invite their at- tention to the letters written by Cass, Clay, Wright, Van Buren, and Benton, on the ques. tion of the general government undertaking the improvement of our lakes, rivers, and harbors. We give them in full. Ocean Steam Navigation and the Magnetic Telegraphs. Steam communication between the old world and the new, is increasing at a rate truly aston- ishing. A year or two ago there wero but afew vessels in the trade, and now we have an arrival and departure every few days; and, for the in- formation of those who have not watched its progress, we willgive a list of the arrivals and departures of the ocean steamers for one month. On the fourth instant the Britannia left Liver- pool for Boston; on the tenth the American steainship Washington left Southampton for New York ; this day, the twelfth, the French steam- ship Philadelphia will leave Cherbourg for the of Staten Island, parts of which remain in the same state they were in at the creation, and as wild as the wildest parts of the great West. Lofty hills and deep valleys, bubbling springs and rocky glens, can be seen and enjoyed in per- feetion; aad when you have satisfied your long- ings, and feel invigorated and refreshed, ;you can take the boat and return home in another hour. Strange as it may appear, there are hun- dreds and thousands of people born in this city who have never visited Staten Island, Long Branch, Shrewsbury, Coney Island, Fort Hamilton, Bath, Glencove, Rockaway, Bulls’ Ferry, Fort Lee, Greenwood, or any other of the five hundred places thatare in our immediate vicinity. And yet they are the only people who are eternally wailing and desponding, because their pursuits or their means will not allow them to take a trip in the country in the warm season. ‘They sigh and pant for a week’s residence at Sara- toga, Niagara, and other distant places; and con- sider themselves unfortunate because they cannot take a tour of the lakes, as their more favorite fel- lows do. These distant spots are beautiful and pleasant resorts, and deserve the great praise that tourists and letter writers have heaped upon them; but they have their disadvantages as well as their advantages, particularly so for these very people, whose means or business will not allow of their visitng them. What use is there in wishing to go to Niagara, when you can’t go without making a greater sacrifice than you feel disposed to make, and when, underyour very nose, you have watering places, to reach which will cost but a trifle in time or money.— Take the boat or the railroad in the morning, go to Lake Mahopac or Fort Lee, to the beautiful Greenwood,toJamaica,to Rockaway ,orany other of these places, and return in the evening. Sure- ly you can afford one day in a week or ina month. The benefit you and your family would receive from a trip of this kind, would, perhaps, save you fifteen or twenty dollars in physicians’ bills. Let us hear no more barking or growling from these people. If you wish to go to the country, you can do so easily; and if you can’t go to Niagara, or sail from Buffalo to Chicago, be same place: on the nineteenth the Hibernia will leave Liverpool for Boston; and on the twentieth, the new steamship Guadal- quiver will leave Liverpool for New York.— ‘The departures from this country will be as fol- lows, excluding the Cambria, which sailed on the firat. The Caledonia will leave Boston on the 16th; the Sarah Sands will leave New York about the 20th; the Union will leave here on the 2ith; and the Britannia will leave Boston on the first of August. Steam navigation is as yet but in the bud, and when it shall be in full bloom, no one can over estimate the advantages that it will confer on the United States, and, in fact, on the whole world. Its effects, thus far, are sensibly feltin the promotion of commerce, and in furthering the ends of peace, by drawing distant nations into close proximity. \ few years since a voyage across the Atlantic was a slow, wearisome and protracted under- tuking—but now, by means of steam, and our splendid packet ships, it is looked upon as a pleasure excursion. We can now almost shake hands with our transatlantic friends, separated from us by more than three thousand miles, the same whom a few years ago we looked upon as strangers. A few years more, and the word “ foreigner’ will become obsolete. There will be, in no fact, no people foreign to another. The whole race of man, through the mighty in- strumeatality of steam and magnetism, will be drawn together into one family. When that time shall arrive, war will no longer be known; and cannon balls and mortars will be locked up in the Museums, as curiosities and remnants of a barbarous age. These two wonderful agents have only commenced the work which they are destined to accomplish. Let us reflect now what electricity has done, and what it is destined to accomplish. It is only within a very few years that our illustrious countryman, Professor Morse, disco- vered its adaptation to the purpose of commu- nicating thought between the most distant places; and at the present time phere ure up- wards of seven thousand miles of telegraph in operation, and in course of construction, in the United States and Canada. Lines have recently been constructed extending frem Portland, in the State of Maine, to Fredericksburg, in Vir- ginia, and, in a week or two, it will be in opera- tion as far as Richmond. At the West, there is a line in operation to Wheeling, and in a very short time it will extend to Cincinnati, in the State of Ohio. In the month of August there will be aline, completed between Mobile and New Orleans, a distance of one hundred and fif- ty miles. When that line shall have been com- pleted, we will be within three or four days of the latter city by means of the telegraph and our southern overland express, and will receive news from there fourdays in advance of the mail. A line between Portland and Halifax, is about to be constructed, and will be finished probably in another year, or less, by whicr grateful to Providence for endowing your city as she has, and adorning its neighborhood with so many beautiful places, which you can go to in half an hour or an hour. Tue Working Men.—The working men of Al- bany held a meeting at the City Hall in that city on Friday evening the 2d inst. ‘Resolutions were adopted congratulating the working men of Europe upon the passage of the ten hour bill through Parliament, and calling upon the Ameri- can State Legislatures to follow the example of Europe, “by placing a law upon our statute books making ten hours a legal day’s work ;” other resolutions were adopted, calling upon the working men of America to co-operate, in orderto secure “‘ the restoration of the rights of all to the soil, motive power and machinery ; the freedom of the public lands to actual settlers, and the ex- emption of the homestead from liability to be taken for debt or mortgage ; the limitation of the amount of land which may be hereafter acquired by any individu¥, and the organization of indus- try.” The meeting adjourned to meet again in the Capitol Park on Tuesday evening, the 13th instant. Natvrat History.—The committee of the Re- gents ot the University of this State, consisting of the Governor and Messrs. Pruynand Beck, of Albany, have issued a circular, calling upon all scientific persons to make contributions of the animal, vegetable, and mineral products of the State of New York, for the State Cabinet of Natural History. Donations can be sent to Mr. J. W. Taylor, curator of the cabinet, Albany. Meeting of uz Common Counen..—The ‘Tus Cuwese June “Kevixo.”—We paid « running visit to tfile great ouriosity yesterday, by invitation of Capt. Charles Kellett, her polite and obliging command- er. Her interior appearance was striking and unique; and such was the anxiety of the people to catch a glimpee of the strange “craft,” that the steam: ats pass- ing to Staten Island were crowded by thousands during theday. The interior was! not accessible to the public, inasmuch as it was not prepared for exhibition. On nearing the “Keying,” called in Chinese something like “Hobbilee,” the first points which attract the attention are the peculiar formation of her sides, stern, and bow. The centre of the sides are low, while her poop and for- ward decks are very much elevated. Tho sides are or- namented with Chinese painted mats, representing shields, and with curiously wrought colors displayed in white, black, and red. Near the bow on either side is drawn a large eye, as though it was designed for the “ Keying” to look ahead, as well as to sail. It may also be recollected that the “Keying”. is nearly square in front and rear, and has a huge stick of timber hanging loose and perpendicular at the stern, which is lowered or raised by rattan cord- age properly attached. To this huge piece of timber is attached « perforated rudder, which can be let down twenty-two feet into the water. When we were on board, it only rested twelve feet below the surface. This curious rudder serves the purpose of a keel, as the vessel itself has scarcely apy worth the name. She has two anchors made of iron wood, and the flukes guarded with iron points. The shape of the anchors is that of & bearded arrow head, the flukes forming acute angles with the main shaft of the anchor. She has four long wooden windlasses on board, placed near midships, with one in the front of her bow, at top, for easing the anchor, when cast off. All her ropes and cable are cu- riously formed of rattan and other native fibrous mate- rials, and appeared very strong. Her centre and main mast are formed from teak wood troes as they grew in the forest, the outer surface being only polished. The slight natural curves of the trees were preserved in the masts. The sails are composed of a kind of India matting, and when unfurled are kept stretohed by the use of bamboo rods. As Chinese do not like going.aloft, they do all their reefing of sails &e., on dedk, $0 much for the external appearance of this bit of aréhitectural contrivance from the Celestial Empire. J¢4s on examining the interior, the chief won- der commences, We labored under the double disad- vantage of-nelther understanding Chinese, their nauti- cal phrases, (or indeed, the nautical phrases, to any ex- tent, of any nation,) and we can only describe things as they appeared to us for the moment, which must also be brief, for we have no room to tell of allwesaw. Asto the thirty-five Chinamen on board, we presume they were as respectably dressed and as good looking, as per- sons of the same rank appear in the ancient empire. Many of thom wore short big trousers, loose cotton jack- ets, and carried small flat caps on shaven heads. Some of their perukes reached in plaits nearly to their heels, Their features were{striking, and like all good looking Chinamen, their eyes seemed set in angles, like the let- ter V, the nose commencing at the point of the V. We were shown many curiosities on board. Among the ani- mals we saw two Chinese dogs, with tongues nearly as black as ink, and the whole inside of their “chops” look- ing as though they had been|lapping a soup made of lamp- black, and this color was perfectly natural. These dogs were the remnants of six others. ‘There was also mon- key, the last ofa colony shipped on board There was also a flock of pigeons, all the way from China, flyin about the vessel. The China cook had made wa; ate the pigh. Ip tho saloon, the greatest sumber. of iwen- imate curiosities were to be seen. We were amused with Chinese invitation and visiting cards, which consisted of thin wooden boards,about a foot wide and about six feet long. These, when used, are carried on the shoulders of men through the streets. The name, or message, is in- scribed in large letters on one side of the board. In the same room were curious epecimens of carved wood work, representing a man on horseback, and the likeness of a Chinese dignitary. TRero were also two fishermen, carved from the roots of tree, while the general ar- rangements of the roots were not disturbed. There were, also, specimens of Chinese double swords, or of two swords fitted together in the same scabbard; also Chinese muskets, with their curious match locks. In this saloon we, also saw the guilded image of “Josh,” a Chinese idol, in the form of a woman, with eighteen arms, in every hand of which was held somethin; different from the others. In front of the Idol were two small imag looking as if they were priests, one of whom was prepared for holding a light, and the other with the bands clasped, seemed to be in the attitude of prayer. room on the poop deck we saw another idol called the “Sea Josh,”’ or “ Sinhow,” a6 weil as we could understand the term. In this room were some origin of fine Chinese ladies in full one of whom was in the attitude of smoking an opium pipe. There were also imens of curiously formed Solo jipes on board. We saw not a particle of glass Board of Aldermen meet again this evening, for the purpose of proceeding with their deliberations in reference to the re-organization of the medi- cal staff’ of the Alms House Department ; while the Board of Assistant Aldermen hold a regular or stated meeting. ‘Theatricals. Bowery Tueatae.—The much admired legendary drama,“ The Wept of Wish-ton-Wish,” produced in a -atyle of splendor that cannot be surpassed ; the tragedy of « ee eueey, y Miortg nd ae will be perform: e Bowery a It is uno to say that in no city in the Union but New York, would such an attractive bill be offered fer one night. Caste Ganven.—The programme for this evenin; presenting #8 it does, such a variety of amusements, namely, burletts, singing, dancing, and tight rope per- formances, is sure to draw a large assemblage. Holland, Walcot, Miss Clarke, and Miss Phillips, in their rei tive delineations of comic character receive, every night the greatest applause—and the dancing of the Misses Wel d La Petit Marganne, is much admired. Herr Clin jaring and skillful acts on the corde elastique is incomparable, in fact, this tleman eful and classic postures are, in themselves, worth the admission money. No wonder that the proprietors are so well pa- tronised, when they employ the best talent they can find, We understand the Ravel Family are engaged for the 16th ot August. This judicious selection will also fill the coffers of French and Heiser. Patmo’s Tueatre.—This evening, Mr. M. K. Burke, the present lessee of the theatre, and proprietor of the baths, réceives a complimentary benofit from his friends in this city. We have seen a list containing the names of several distinguished citizens, who are associated as a the quotations of the foreign markets can be made known throughout the whole country in a few minutes after the arrival of the English Cunard steamships; and which will bring New York, Boston, and the extreme West and South within nine or ten days of England. Such are the wonders of the telegraph, and such the benefits whic it will confer on the United States. Were not the fact palpable and plain before us, we might think we were indul- ging ina dream. Our old men shake their heads, and know not what to make of this state of things. They rub their speétacles, and cannot realize that such wonderful events as those we have mentioned, and those which are about to happen, could have occurred or will occur in their lifetime; while our young men are alive to, and can appreciate it all. With magnetism on the land and steam on the ocean, we have the fact before us that within a few years the world has made aprodigious stride in civilization and science. The earth, and the heavens themselves,have been made subservient to mi purposes; and if the United States be individually more benefitted by it, we have the proud consolation that it is to the in- genuity and intellect of her own sons that she is indebted. The names of Fulton and Morse deserve to be remembered as long as the world retains its present shape. When it ceases to be round, then——what? Visrruve Puaces near New Yorx.—There js, perlaps, no city in the world, certainly there is none in the United States, within {the imme- diate neighborhood of which there are so many pleasant and agreeable places, which our toil- worn and overheated citizens can reach within n hour or two, than our own favorite and noble city~-New York. By taking the ferry boat they can reach Hoboken, which is one of the most romantic places on the continent, in five minutes ~and in five or ten minutes more after they reach it, they can be as far in the country as they need to be to obtain fresh air, or witness the mowers carting the ripe hay, or the harvesters reaping and cradling the matured crops. What can be more agreeable to a dweller amid bricks and mortar, than to see the husbandman secn- ring the fruits of his toil, and himself and fami- ly, from the oldest to the youngest, engaged in their happy work; and after the business of the day is over, to listen to their innocent and sprightly conversation, and enjoy their substan- tial and fragal meal. We know of none. Again, in one hour yoy can be in the interior committee tu carry out the above object, and if those we have seen will use their influence, Palmo’s will be crowd- ed from pit to dome. Many professional ladies and gen- tlemen have volunteered their services, among whomare Mr. Leonard, the celebrated Irish comedian, Burney Williams, John Dunn, John Winans, &e.; also Miss Anna Cruise, Mrs. Timm, Miss Leslie, the vocalist, and the Misses Amelie and Meeling, who will dance the “‘Ca- cucha’’ and“Highiand Fling.” The pieces selected are “Robert Macaire,” “The Rival Pages,” and “The White Horse of the Peppers.” Another very attractive feature is the Violin Solo by Mr. H. Marks. This bill would be sufficient of an ordinary night, to influence a large as- sembiage, but as Mr. B. is aided inthis matter by many members of the bar, and a vast circle of acquaintances, there can beno doubt Palmo’s to-night will exhibit a brilliant array of fashionable visiters. Musical. Vavxwatt.—A company of vocalists, and Mr. Old- field, the pianist, are engaged to perform every evening this week. The programme contains a variety of songs, tn glees and choruses, ‘The garden is neatly ar- ranged, with serpentine walks, aud opposite the Saloon ina wutiful fountain.

There were sky-light frames above the saloon, or poop deck roo., formed of cut thin pieces of oyster shells, or coarse pearl shells, and fitted in wood- on frames, a foot or two wide and 4 or 5 feet long, whieh served for sky-lights. A considerable curiosity was a real umbrella, intended for the use of persons of wealth and rank; the staff was about the size of a man’s wrist. 5 or 6 fect long: near the top wasa rude ornamented eo work, something like a common umbrella; over is thrown when in use, a pay ornamented scarlet cover. This umbrella is said to be carried by a ant, and held over the party requiring its pro- ction. When not in use the silk covering can be taken off, and folded up for future use, There was not a water barrel, or other keg or barrel, to ‘be seen on board. The water tanks were all formed of solid teak wood, and were very tight. The vessel is di- vided by teak bulkbeads into five water tight compart ments, eo that they would all have to be filled by leakage before she could become water logged or sink. The captain not being on board, we were politely received by the second officer, who kindly conducted us through the strange “craft,” even through the peculiar caboose, where the cook, a Chinese, was preparing dinner, and who told us, through the interpreter, that he wished to Bet the situation of a cook in New York. Besides the cook, we saw the Chinese professional artist, or painter, at work, who was said to have reached the head of his profession at home ; he wasa man of 56, and so atten- uated, as tobe a match for Calvin Edsun. He had no easel before him ; but his canvas (silk or paper) lay flat on a tablet before him, over which he moved and held his pencil in a perpendicniar manner. - in the saloon was & processien scene in honor of the Emperor, the work ot the artist. The Chinese artists are also fond of cariaca- ture, and haves love for the ludicrous. In one place is seen a picture representing a fat Chinaman on horseback, and{another trying to ride double on the same horse behind him, and can only keep his place by holding on to the peruke or cue of his fat companion in front, who is anxiously urging the horse forward. Every ody knows thatthe only deficiency in Chinese artistic skill, is the want of perspective. The floor of the saloon ‘was painted over with imager red fish and all manner of things in all manner of pes. We have not room for farther details, When arranged for exhibition the whole will present ascene well worth visiting. The ves- nel iteelf is a great curiosity, and there are some thin about her sailing qualities quite contrary to what might be expected. The officers stated, that although they had some very rough weather, she kept remaskebly ‘dry, and never shipped a sea. That they were never in a vessel before that had as little motion. ‘hat a lady who had never been to sea, would sey feel the effects of tea sickness. In rough weather she was remarkably easy. Before the wind, they said they eould sometimes make twelve knots tg hour. That properly rigged she would sail very well. They said they were detained three weeks in the straits of Sundy by contrary winds and currents. Her planking and everything else is put together in a different le from the methods we adopt for doing similar work; and though rudely built, all is exceedingly strong and well put together. Our ship- wrights had better examine the manner of her make, &c., as they may, though termed by,the Celestials, as outside “barbarians,” gath hints that may prove useful. We.understand tl apt. Kellett intends, in a day of two, moving the Keying from Present anchorage to & point near ity, for the purpose of exhibiting her and contents. On board the Keying are Chinese small Doats, and also a perfect model of herselfmade by China- men. Among the Chinese on board are several me- chanics, such as carpenters and other tradesmen. Tnx Wratiwen.—Yesterday was an agreeable sort of day, and our citizens wemed to avail themselves of it, many of whom flocked to the beautiful retreats in the suburbs and immediate vicinity, viz; Hoboken, Staten Island, Williamsburg, &e. We had a soft shower of rain about 12 o'clock M., preceded by distaut thunder ‘This had the effet to cool the atmosphere a good deal. The thermometer stood at it in the forenoon.

Errxcts ov Sepuctron.—Several attempts have been made within the last four years by the people of the State of Now York, directing the attention of our Le- gislature, in order to effect the passage of a law for the punishment of seduction; but we are sorry to say that the application has never been carried out according to the wishes of the people, for reasons no doubt Bont known to that august body themselves. We are led to these remarks from the alinost daily occurrence of youn; and innocent girls brought to destruction by men holds ing public offices, members of churches, &0., whose ras- calities and wickedness are sooner or later exp: sed through the records of the police.

This unfortunate creature was the victim, some,t mouths ago, it is said, of a married man, hold- ing an in the city of Bxpoklyn, where the unfortu- nate girl resided with her mother, a respectable woman, and of respectable connections.

Locked up by Justice Drinker. Burrato, June 30, 1847. Travel to the West via the Lakes. It is astonishingly warm here to-day, and the crowd of New Yorkers at the hotels is evidence that it is no less so with you. I have been an annual visiter to the lakes for the last seven years, but have never before seen such & throng of eastern people here as now. A trip to Green Bay und Chicago—places but a few years ago the very borders of civilization—is now an every day afféir; and the United States does not, pro- bably, afford a more exhilirating or delightful journey. Yet there are but few eastern people who know,compara- tively, any thing of its pleasures. New Yorkers—or, at any rate, most of them—seem to think it » long and tedious journey, and to be taken only in cases of dito necessity. How far this idea is from the truth, may be seen by a short description of a passage from New York to Chicago. You take the seven o'clock boat on Monday evening for Albany. The first hour you havo a fine view of the palisades, the wild and rocky shore of New Jersey, and the rich green fields and chequered hills of Westchester; the second, the dark peaks of the highlands rise up be- tween you and t} st stre of light from the setting sun; or, noon is “riding high”? in the clear brigh they are casting their long dark shadows 6 the plain. if now you are familiar with {udson and its scenery, and not intoxicated wit se views, you retire to your berth, and, when yo at dawn of day, you are in Albany. Here you ar breakfast, and, at half-past seven, you step to th road office, pay the clerk twelve dollars, and get a tick ‘or Buffalo. An uninteresting ride for an hour brings you to Schenectady, and here you have the first glimpse of the rich west. The first view of the town is most picturesque. You are some eighty to a hundred feet above it, and as you see it as it were huddled into one corner of a rich and fertile plain, it has the appearance of a bed of rosesin the corner of a garden. Youare now in the valley of the Mohawk, whirling through its green fields, and winding around the rocky base of its gigantic hills, at tho rate of twenty miles an hour. Every fifteen minutes you are whirled through a village, that seem to come and go like some hantom ina vision. And now you find yourself in tice, Here you stop for dinner, and then, with the same rapidity, you fly away to Syracuse, where you can stop till morning, if too much fatigued to ride ail night. If, however, you are ina hurry, as travellers generally are, you can keep your seat in the cars, and, at sunrise the next morning, set down in Buffalo. But, if you pre- fer travelling by daylight, you can spend the night in Syracuse or Auburn, and, the next day, you have an opportunity to see the beautiful villages of Geneva, Ca- ae , Batavia, and the city of Rochester, and ar- beh juffalo in the evening of the second day—Wed- nesday. You now take on one of the Upper Lake boats, the most dlegant t floating salen aee och part Here you are sure to find a large company of ladies and gentlemen, bound on e voyage of pleasure, with every accompaniment—guns, fishing tackle, harps, flutes, violins, besides a good band of music and a piano. The next morning—which brings us to Thursday—you land at Cleveland ; and here, while the boat 2 taking in wood, &e., you have an hour or two to ride around the town. About twenty or thirty young ladies and gentlemen charter some four or five stages, and they make the town echo with their merry laugh, as they dash and whirl through its wide and ele- gant streets. The citizens are all excitement, while the boat remains, tor they soon learn that a “ pleasure party’? is on board, and every thing that can be, is done to make them happy, You leave Cleveland at eleven or twelve o’clock, and the next morning, Fri- day, at daylight, youare in Detroit. Another hour or two is spent riding about the city, and you are off for Mackinac. Saturday morning finds you moored amidst bark canoes and Indian tents, close under « high rocky fort, bristling with a hundred cannon. After getting a breakfast of Mackinac trout, trying your luck at fish- ing in water so clear that you can see a trout twenty feet from the surface—buying « few trinkets from the Peay en eggnog the forts and barracks, you sail for Chicago, where you arrive on Sunday at sunrise, making the whoie trip of fifteen hundred miles in five days, at an expense of twenty-one dollars, alltold. The fare on the li is el dollars, or about two dollars a 2 ges sameas ata hotel. This includes passage and yard. 1 have been rather seid and particula: in my des- cription of a trip to Chicago, because! have been so often asked how long it would take, how much it weuld cost, and what kind of fun or pleasure one could find in going such # route. ‘T'o those who are accustomed to spend their summers at fashionable einer and on the sea shore, say, that with half the expense, and leas time than they usually take from their business in visiting these places, they oan take a journey to Lake Superior, Green Bay, Mackinac, Chicago—cross the State of Michigan by land, on their return, snd vi- sit all the principal towns on the shores of Lake Erie— see more—learn more—feel_more—thiak more, and en- joy more, than in a dozen visits to Saratoga. ‘At this time the boats are crowded with delegates to the Convention, and there is more excitement than usual.

The stock market during the past week has been sub- Jeot to those fluctuations which are usually experienced at this soason of the year. ‘The absence of many opera- tors has a depressing influence upon the market, and prices are with difficulty sustained, notwithstanding the abundance of money and the reduced rate of interest. ‘There are s great!many weak holders of fancy stocke, and the first reverse compels them to realize at any sacrifice. ‘There is a class of speculators which a rising market al- ‘ways brings out, and these operators purchase as largely as possible, upon time, with the hope that before their ‘contracts run out prices will run up, and they will real- ize a handsome profit, without any outlay of capital and with a trifling risk. Imthe event of prices taking a downward turn, these speculators crowd their stock upon the market, and force it off at any price. Many of them have nothing to lose, and are therefore indifferent about the course things take. If the market goes up, very good, and if it goes down very geod too; they may make something, and they are very sure of not losing much. It is this class of speculators that upsets, from time to time, the market, and causes those sudden and ruinous fluctuations in prices. Having no capital, and operating entirely upon credit, buyers’ option, they cannotihold on beyond the maturity of their contracts. The bulls have, for some time past, had everything in the stock market neatly their own way. Prices have, during the past sixty days, been steadily advancing, and the rise within that time has, in several instances, been equal to ten and fifteen per cent. The margin for & fall is not so wide as the advance has been, as there has been a very decided imprevement in the real value of some of the fancies; and when the advance commenced, prices ruled exceedingly low. We do not look for any immediate reduction in quotations for fancy stocks, generally ; but, on the contrary, we anticipate a further improvement as soon as the present dull season is past. This improvement cannot be but temporary, and we predict that it will be followed by a contraction of prises to a point nearly upon « level with that from which they atarted. The cause or causes for this reduction are, in the first place, more extensive importations of foreign merchan- dise, producing a more stringent operation of the Inde pendent Treasury system, and asa natural consequence a more contracted movement on the part of our banking institutions. We have not had a more abundant supply of money, or a more reduced rate of interest both in and out of the banks, for years, than we have had within the past sixty days, the effect of which has been an inflation in prices for all kinds of stocks. Notwithstanding this plethora in the money market, there isno doubt but that the fact of the Independent T: Act being in exist- ence, has had a very material influence in regulating the expansion, and keeping it within more reasonable limite. About two years ago, when the speculation in stocks run prices for many of the fancies up in many instances twenty and thirty per cent above present prices, the ex- pansion on the part of the banks was not so great as it is now, and the rate of interest did not range so low. There was at that time nothing to check the upward movement, and some of the fancies, not actually worth thirty per cent, reached nearly par. Since, they have fallen to their real value, and have experienced another inflation. The immense importations of specie within the past six months, in connection with the expanded condition of the banks, have not carried up stooks so high as they reached two years ago. We look upon this fact as a very favorable feature in the money market, and be- Neve that the financial policy of the government is producing # more healthy condition of financial affairs generally,a more uniform value in the currency, and when it becomes more generally administered, a more uniform movement in our banking institutions. The Jadependent Treasury system has not, as yet, been fairly tested. The financial operations of the government have not given it a chance to be carried thoroughly into operation, and it has, therefore, been almost a dead let- ter. The law has been in existence, but so far as its actual influence upon the money market is concerned, it has not been very important. ‘There is at present every probability of a large impor- tation of foreign merchandise for the fall trade, with a more limited exportation of domestic products ; this will check the receipts of specie, advence quotations for fo- reign exchange, bring the Independent Treasury into general operation, and produce restrictions upon the money market caleulated to have an unfavorable in- Sey Tey vs 10 The Cquion Co bio ” 50 Mohawk RR 1 Dreasury 52-5 106: 3 Noe Wor kr 510 54 1430 U8. 6 67 1068 150 do 3 1000 Ps, 48 wise "so HH 2000 State 6's.

New Yorx, Satunpay Artaanoon, Juty 10th, ‘The market for breadstuffs continued heavy to-day. Sales of straight brands Genesee were made at $6, and of Michigan do at $5 75 a $5 87; mixed brands Michi- gan were sold at $6 50 a $6 6834.

Towards the close of change there was rather more inquiry for the better qualities of Genesee, which were wanted for shipment; and at theleaving off, holders demanded $6 12}, and were indisposed to sell for less. ‘Wheat was heavy, and transactions moderate ; sales of Ohio, good mixed, were made at $1 1734, and of white do $123. Wefheard of nothing in Genesee. Corn sold freely. Western mixed st 580 a 60c; flat yellow do at 62%%c a 65 cents; round northern yellow, at 65 a 66)gcts.

TatLow—No change. Tosacco—We submit the usual weekly statement of prices, sales, foeanedy and stocks on hand, for the week fluence upon stocks. Under the most favorable circum- stances we cannot expect an easier money market than exists at this moment ;but on the contrary, any change is likely to be for the worse, and it is, therefore, best to be prepared for it. The influence of cornering operations in Wall street up- on whatever stock or stocks may from time to time be taken up by.any clique of brokers, is such as to defy the effect of the money market upon prices, and for a time carry them up, in spite«f everything to the contrary! until the qmplosive point is reached. Of these move- ments we can tell nothing about; but, as we have before said, there may be a general improvement upon the opening of the fall business of several per cent; but there are reasons why any further improvement should be but temporary. As regards the Mexican war, we have very little to hope for and very little to fear. We areas little affected favorably, or unfavorably, as we shall be if hostilities close to-morrow or are continued for years. Rumors of peace have recently been so flattering that all the good has been anticipated; and a military occupation of that Republic will not be attended with any very great ex- penditure from ourown Treasury. We therefore con- sider the Mexican war as having very little influence in any way upon commercial matters. So long as it con- tinues, so long will concessions have to be made in rela- tion to the specio clause of the Independent Treasury aot, as that system cannot be fully carried out until the expenditures of the government are reduced to the or. dinary standard, until its whole debt is funded,and Trea- sury notes are altegether withdrawn from circulation. 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. Some of the fancies have fluctuated considerably, but the closing prices com- pare very favorably: — Quvorarions ron THe Principat Stocks in tHe New ian tas 10034 ty — 78 Ci a aid ae 6 4 16M TH 76% CT 66M 3) 5% Es EY @ aK & 32) 7 Farmers’ Lown; 35% RY i 3% 35 Canton C =" 4 8 Me 47, Morne 18% 18 17h 17) H Vicksbw - WK = “ae United er at She it Boston... . = pend ak pee = jorth Am’n Trust... hat parison of prices ruling t the close of the mar- hia seseeeit gh those panel at the close of the previous week, oxbibite an Improvement in Obio 6's of 3, and @ decline in Pennsylvania o9 of 16 per cent; ending this Fs Sold Rec'd thie Sto a Prices. this week. week. onhand.
