New York, Monday, August 28, 1847. MB. BENNETT'S LETTERS PROM EUROPR, Lonpon, August 2, 1847 ‘The Election in Great Britala—The Kleoto> val Fravehise of Kingland, France, and America, The three kingdoms are all in the midst of an election for the next Parliament. Nearly one half of the next House of Commons is already elect- ed, and the remainder going to be. Last week nearly all the elections of London took place. IT have been much interested in comparing them to those of New York, and the United States. The general system of constituents and candi- dates meeting face to face, is different from ours in New York, but they are like as two peas those in the southern and western States. Here eve- Fy candidate canvasses his district—speaks his own speeches—and tells his owa story. Still they have committees, clubs, ‘and all the ma- ebinery of a popular canvass, as we have. large number of st mboats in and be- clits to New York, excites the surprise of all strangers who visit our city. Indeed, we ques- tion if our own old Knickerbockers, the descen- dantsof the very persons who first gave to our good city the cognomen of New Amsterdam, and who have grown with its growth and strengthen- ed with its strength, ina pecuniary respect, know the immense steamboat trade connected with New York. From a point in the bay, from whieh a view can be obtained of the North and East Rivers, a greater number of steamboat pipes can be seen, than perhaps in any other city of the world, while the number of boats shooting hither and thither, on the ferries, or going up or coming down the two rivers, on voyages of business or pleasure, is amazing. We have often thought that a list of these evidences of the genius and enterprize of our people would be acceptable to our readers, and be valuable as a proof of the go-aheaditive- ness of ‘he Americans, when, as Davy Crockett advises, they know they are right. It is now forty years since the Clermont, an experimental boat, built under the direction and superintendence of Robert Fulton, made an ex- ‘They telk very much in Europe of the wild Orgies of democracy in the United States; but in polat of order, regularity, and decorum, there is ae much difference between afpopular election in London and New York as can be possibly im- agined—and all in favor of the latter city. We an poll 60,000 votes in one day in New York, with less excitement, and more public order than they oun take 6000 in London. This is fact of the two capitals—and the same may be said toa greater extent of the two nations. Such is the difference between the action of American democracy and British mouarchy. The correspond -nts of the French journals are aa- toniched at the public order of an English elec- tion—how much more would they be at an Ame- rican election, if they dared to speak the truth? Of the exact results of this election, no one can yet tell. Thus far it has been a surprise to all—extraordinary and puzzling in every point of view. The old tory party have been much cut down—but equally singular to relate, already half a dozen of the members of the whig minis- Ary have lost their election. The principal ele- ment already developed is the progress of popu- lar principles, looking to the ballot and almost universal suffrage. O’Connor, the great radical leader, hus defeated Hobhouse, one of the minis- ters, for Nottingham. Liverpool, Birmingham, Edinburgh, &c. &c., have shown a strong dis- position for more progress. Indeed it is now suid tnat the two old parties, whig and tory, have vanished for ever, and that the next House of Commons will present but two great elementa— thatof the ‘ Gnality party,” headed by Russell, with the old whig and tory aristocracy at his tail—and that of the movement with a hundred heads and no tail at all. The declarations of many of the new members are very democratic—favorable indeed to the monarchy as a pretty idea, represented in the person of Victoria, but terr.bly hostile to the aristocracy, eitherin land or money. Thomp- son, the famous abolition lecturer, once in the United States, is elected by a tremendous major- ity for one of the districts in London. He is thoroughly for the ballot and universal suffrage. It is true that Lord John Russell is elected in the city, but it is said that he is indebted to Roth- schild, who is on the s me ticket, for this result. It is positively asserted thut £25,000 have been expeuded by the Rothschilds in securing this re- sult. In fact, corruption, the actual buying and selling of votes, exists almost in a complete state ot organization in many places—almost as much #0 as it does in the electorul system of France. In the city election here, it is said that the ‘long shore men,” us they are called, were bough up by the friends of the great bankers; at the tate of £5 upiece to £25 apiece, wccording to their greediness or avarice. Many of the dis- tricts, in various parts of the empire, have been up for sale to the highest bidder, and their agents have been peddiing seats in the Com- mons for weeks all over the land. These facts have been stated in parliament and in the news- pepers, and none deny them. The whig and tory sristocracy, now joined by & portion of the great banking and moneyed in- terest, are opposed to all further reform, and have expected to organise a system of cor- ruption for managing the 800,000 electors of this country, as the 200,000 of France are wield- ed. This system has been growing and spread- fing forthe lust few years. It has been gradually bringing the two old factions of whig and tory together. The spirit of the age, in the shape of a further extension of the electoral franchise— of sree trade in land—of the vote by ballot—of separation of church and state—the spirit of the age, in these forms, is gradually gathering force and organization—and a new party of progress will be thrown up in the next parliament, that will shake the aristocracy to the heart. When these ideas shall have become strong enongh far action in parliament, there will be a coalition between the old landed aristocracy and the new mized aristocracy to put down the reformers, and bribery and influence will be their principal weapons at the polls. | ‘This will be agreat and a long struggle, for in Engiand reform has terrib.e obstacles to over- come. As yet, England will go on for years in her present humdrum pace. Purliament wiil try to legislate away all their social evils—but all legislation will be fruitless to relieve the s0- cial evils of Ireland, or any part of the coin- try. The aristocracy maintain 300,000 ser- ‘vants—200,000 horses, 600,000 dogs, 100,000 grouse, and 600,000 game of all kinds, all to minister to their pride and pleasure. These men, beasts,~and birds consume the food of idleness, which would feed the starving Irish and all others of the lower class. Here is the dangerous condition of England—a condition that is increasing in magnitude every year, and reaches acrisis whenever any of the crops fail. It is a social evil, which mere ordinary legisla- tion cannot reach. The only natural avenue to a remedy is throug’ universal suffrage and | the ballot—but although his idea is developed stronger at the present eléetion than ever before, it is yet far from any point of succer In a po- pulation of 27,000,000, which is nearly the num- bers of the three kingdoms, only about 800,000 are electors, while 48,000 persons hold all the land of the empire, including mountains, hills, | rocks, r.vers,and moors. The government alone elaim a property in the sun and heavens above, and accordingly levy a heavy tax on the light of day. In fact, one pays for the very air that is breathed. Yet the modern Englishman talks much of his liberty, and affects to look with su- | pereiliousness on the democracy of America. Laren ynom Havana.—By the bark Rapid, woe are in receipt of Havana papers to the 8th inet. The new steamer Habanero, built in this eity for the coasting trade between Havana and Matansas, arrived out on the 6th inst. The news generally is unimportant.

The Cler- mont was one hundred feet long, twelve feet wide, and seven feet deep. The engine was con- structed in England by the firm of Watt & Bolton, and was brought by Mr. Fulton to the city of New York in the year 1806. Her hull was built by an eminent ship build- er, Charles Brown, ancestor, we believe, of Mr. Brown, of the firm of Brown & Bell, ship- builders, uptown. On the second of October, 1907, the Clermont started on her first trip to Al- bany, amid the jibes and hisses of a muNitude of people,who assembled in the neighborhood of the place of herdeparture, to witness what they were pleased te term an exhibition of folly and mad- ness. The rate of speed at which the Clermont made her first trip was three or four miles an hour; fast enough to show that Fulton’s plans were not 80 preposterous or absurd as the ma- jority of the people considered them. The trial succeeded, and, as we have already said, the increase of steamboats in this harbor, from that time to the present, has been amazingly large. By an extract from the Panorama of the Hudson River, recently pub- lished by J. Disturnell, we are enabled to give a list, embracing all the passage boats built and running o» the Hudson river, between New York, Albany and Troy, sinoe the first introduc- tion of steamboat navigation, by Fulton, in the ear 1807, with a list of the explosions for the same period. eESBE8EES 23 eS: 3 tT ‘uk.

On perusing this list the reader must be struck with the rareness of accidents on our river. It willbe seen that, for forty years past, there have been only four explosions on board of regular passage boats plying between New York, Alba- ny and Troy, and very few other accidents. We doubt if the records of steam navigation in any part of the world can compare with those of the Ifudson river in this respect. There is a great number of boats plying on the Hudson, to ports intermediate between this city, Troy and Albany, which we may as well give in proof of the great increase of esteam- boats since the year 1807:— To Hupson—The Hudson, Capt.

The boats above enumerated are, or were, ex- clusively connected « ith the Hudson River. We wish we had the means of presenting our read- ers with a list of al the boats on the Sound route in the same manner as we have those of the Hud- son; butas we have not, we shall compile a list | of those at present running, which we anticipate | will be read w ith interest in connection with our previous remarke:— | New Yoru 10 Stosincron—Oregon, Captain Thayer; | ©.

These comprive all the boats running on the Sound, that we at present recollect—the greater portion of which are as good boats as were ever built. In addition to the Sound and the North river routes, we have the steamships Northerner and Southerner, plying regularly between this city John Bull’s Ferry, Tillietudlem, Fort Lee, and Trini- ty Cemetery, Elizubethport, Coney Island, Ho- boken, Port Richmond and New Brighton, Shrewsbury, Red Bank and Eutontown, New- ark, Greenwood Cemetery, Middletown Point, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Governor’s Island, As- toria or Hell Gate, Jersey City, Williamsburgh, | and the steamer John Potter running daily to South Amboy in connection with the Camden aud Amboy Railroad.

The above engraving will give our readers at a dis- tance an insight into the sufferings af the down town people of New York, caused by the constructing of sew- ers in Maiden lane, John and Fulton streets. The earth excavated, is piled up on each side of those streets, as high as the second and third stery of the buildings, and itis with the greatest diffloulty that pedestrians can make their way through the piles of dirt, boards, gas pipes and laborers, that choke up the sidewalks, or store keepers reach their places of business. It was amusing to see corpulent ‘chunky’ men, whose temper on ordi, nary occasions it was imporsible to ruffle, making their way over: those sandbapks and [heaps of dirt, in the last warm weather, puffing and blowing—aftor carrying their orange-shaped bodies over one mountain of sand, they would congratulate themselves on their agility, wbenlo! at the next corner. they see another a parently ‘as high as the Rocky Mountains and as diff- it toclimb.

The fire coutinued to spread rapidly, after defy- fog the efforts of the rew fire companies who had first the houres ia the roar, frontiog Water street. Several companies and « large posse of police under (heir active Chief, Mr. Mateell,. were soon on the spot, aud also, in some minut alarge accession of firemen with their oogines. All began to work vigorously, but tho houses being weoden, and many of them old, the entire block, embracing an srea from No 317 to $25 on Front street, and Nos. 639 to 665 Water street. were all in flames We seldom seen a fire spread with such awful effect. se houses were ail occupied by industrious mec! jos and laborers, who rented apar ments —and the streets in the vicinity presented # most melancholy picture— | a perfect wreck of all sorts of household furniture, beds, tables. chairs and such other articles, We were given to understand that one hundred familics were, thus, in the short e of a few hours, thrown upon the world houseless. Considerable damage to pro- perty was done, several families being absent enjoying their Sunday with their ds. No lives, fortunately were lost, but many hi lost their dittle all in the flames.

There has been no particular movement in the stock market during the past week; prices of some of the round and some of the fancy stocks have fluctuated con- siderably, but there has nothing of importance trans- pired to affect the market favorably or unfavorably. The decline in Treasury notes has been produced prin- cipally by the movement of our banks ‘These institu- tions took advantage of a slight depression in prices, caused by the character of recent advices from Mexioo, and the heavy expenditures on account of the war, re- ported for the quarter ending July 1, 1847,and by call- ing in loans madeaipon these securities compelled many | to snbmit to forced sales, and, consequently, a heavy de- | pretation. As soon as prices had touched « low point, | the banks came into the market as purchasers, and sup- plied themselves with all they wanted. In this way these eornerers operate in the stock market—they in- flate and depress prices at pleasure, as there are always enough timid holders disposed to sell atadecline. These holders are completely at the mercy of these banks and invariably purchase at high, and sell at low prices This is a very important part of the business of these institutions, Not satisfied with loaning largely on fancy stooks, they speculate direotly in government and State stocks, and their power in the market as operators io immense. Having at command any amount of capi tal, which, according to their charters, should be om- ployed in discounting legitimate business peper, they go into the stock market under a strong cowbinativn, to inflate or depress the price of any stock they may de- termine upon. If it is their intention to depress the | price of any security, for the purpose of becoming large purchasers at the decline, they commence calling in all the loans made upon that particular stock, #0 as to throw upon the market as much of it as possible, and loans to a great extentare called in upon other stocks, that the market generally may be depressed. As soon as prices have become as much reduced as may be deerme.) sufficient, the bank brokers make thelr appear- ance in the market, and purchase at once all they want. As soon as they are supplied, the banks commence loan- ing on this and other stocks, and the market improves immediately, and an advance of several per cont is soon realised.
