The Political Chess-board.{The Whig Oan- didates for the Presidency. The chances of politics are like those of a campaign, they often falsify the shrewdest cal- culutions and predictions. The dissensions in the ranks of the democrats, in 1844, and their selection of a candidate, whose name was by no neans @ national name, threatened to give Mr. Clay an easy run over the course. Party cohesion prevailed over popular enthusiasm in the election of Mr. Polk. It is questionable if party cohesion will ever again be so strong as to secure the success of any man who has not been ed any longer as the igs, or even as among the ents of the whig nomination. is still open. The whig candidate is fo be chosen. Of all men in the whig party, we regard Mr. Clay as most likely to be the choice of the whig party for the next presidency. - Now that Gen. Taylor is probably out of the question with that party, no man occupies so prominent a position as Mr. Clay. Oldas he is, he is she strongest man in the party. He is painfully identified with the war—an important requisite for suc- cess in the struggle forthe next Presidency. He can call out the ig strength better than any other man ¥ff the country. And what is more important than all, he has now enlisted in his behalf a larger portion of the party than perhaps all the other candidates in the aggregate. His friends are already working with the greatest energy. If he were with the north on the Wil- mot proviso question, his success would be beyond a problem. In politics there are transmu- tations as strange as those performed by the wand of the necromancer. Already Mr. Clay’s friends are actively employed in paying court to some of the prominent members of the old Van Buren faction, and not altogether without hopes of success. The whigs are justly elated with the result of the late elections; for, with all the odds against them, they have beaten their oppo- nents handsomely. Should. the war drag its slow length along until November 1848, there is every probability of their success. But they must discard some of the worn-out watch-words of party. They must not adhere to the threadbare policy which worked their de- feat in 1844. The next twelve monthe will test sufficiently the operation of the present tariff and sub-treasury laws. Should they prove success- ful, any attempt at alteration will be fatal to the prospects of the whigs. Let them be sound on prominently identified with the history of the country. Since the Presidential election, in 1844, party organization has received many a shock. The Oregon question—the river and harbor im- provement question—the tariff question—the Wilmot proviso; for it may as well go by that nickname as any other—and the war question, have broken down the barriers of party—have conglomerated the odds and ends of faction, and have forcibly converted democrats into whigs, and whigs into democrats; not alone indivi- dually, but by districts, and by States, and divi- sions larger than States. Since the last election, Mr. Webster, General Scott, Mr, McLean, Mr. Clayton, and Mr. Crit- tenden, have, each, been spoken of as the choice of the whigs for the Presidency lin 1848. Mr. Webster, although pre-eminently the most ta- lented, is, perhaps, the least available of the prominent members of the whig party. He is obnoxiousto the entire Southern section of the party. He suffered himself to be drawn too far into the muddy stream of nativism, for his senti- ments on that subject,to be soon forgotten. A year ago, his friends united with those of Gen. Scott in these questions—let them advocate a liberal com- promise of the slavery question—let them aban- dontheir unwise and unpatriotic opposition to the war—and victory may yét crown their aspi- rations. Tur Loss or rus Mamtoux.—The awful loss of life by the wreck of this vessel, was caused by the house or houses on deck. It appears that the Mamlouk had these modern improvements, as they are called, occupied by the steerage passengers, and that the heavy sea that struck the ship swept this house overboard with all its inmates, numbering thirty-six, only one of whom was saved. Had this vessel had a flush deck fore and aft, the passengers would have all been below, and the sea would have made aclgan sweep over her, without doing so much damage. These houses on deck have to meet the whole force of the sea, and as they ale not, and from the nature of their construction cannot be, very strongly constructed, they are very dangerous places in a severe gale of wind. Capt»in Codman, of Boston, the Captain Ring- bolt, author of “Sgilor’s Life and Sailor’s Yarns” a design to take up the latter; but that scheme, like many others, was soon abandoned. It was rumored about that time that Mr. Clay’s friends were determined to nominate him on condition that he would decline in favor of Mr. Crittenden, a man little less popular than himself; and it was probably to check this move that this coalition was formed between the friends of Mr. Webster and General Scott. a The war suspended for a time the prosecution of the game on both sides; the players wisely concluding that ail their combinations might be defeated by something arising ot of the prose- cution of the war if popular, or its opposition, if the reverse. Mr. Clayton was never seriously regarded as an available candidate, and he him- self would be the most astonished man in the country if he were. At one time Mr. McLean was looked upon as the strongest man in the party---not because of any extraordinary polit- ical services, but that having always been iden- tified with the democratic party prior to his,re- tirement from the political arena to the bench of tue Supreme Court, and having received his ap- pointment from General Jackson, he would be least obnoxious to the democracy. We regret to add, that Mr. McLean’s friends counted upon another element of success, which should never enter into political calculations. They relied upon the unanimous support of the religious body of which Mr. McLean is a prominent member. We mention the fuct---not in derogation of that gentleman, whom we believe to be too pure to build a single hope of success on so unwor- thy a foundation; but as an insiance of the unhallowed means by which party works out its ends. But Mr.. McLean is in fact too faultless a politician, and it may be be, too little unprincipled, to be an available can- didate. He is, perhaps, too much the fotus teres atque rotundus, to succeed in enlisting a warm support. To have a chance of success a man must have some projecting scandal attached to his name, whereby he may be taken hold of and raised into the Presidential chair—some glaring fault, the objurgation of which by his opponents, may draw round him a host of friends, indig- nant at whet they regard a wanton persecution of a righteous citizen. But while these names were publicly mention- ed in connection with the Presidency, a large section of the whig party was determinedly bent upon the. nomination of Mr. Clay. They clung to him the more fondly for the reverses he had sustained, and late events have given fresh impulse to their efforts. The section of the whig party now in power in this State are undeniably the advocates of Mr. Clay’s nomination. But hitherto they have contented themselves with toasting him at anniversary dinners, and keep- ing his name prominently before the people, not as connected with the Presidency—for that would have been premature—but as a man who, having retired from public life, deserved the re- spect and gratitude of his country for his mani- fold services. This was the position of the whig candidates until after the battle of Buena Vista. The name of General Taylor was then on the lips and in the hearts of his countrymen. The people felt deeply gratetul to the old General for his master- ly soldiership, andthe glory he had shed on the American arms. The politicians took ad- vantage of this enthusiasm, and endeavored to force the old hero to minister to their sordid and selfish purposes. For a while all sections of the whig party held their} breath. If General Taylor should accept the | whig nomination it was probable that he would | be preferred to all the other candidates, and to | oppose him was to run a dangerous risk. For | some time they went with the current. But lately it has been discovered that General Tay- Jor will accept no party nomination. He has given the strongest indication of a desire notto be a candidate at all, by honestly declaring him- self unacquainted with the merits of the v: questions of domestic Policy agitating the pub- | lie mind. With honest indignation he has spurned the trammels with which interested | politicians of both parties have sought to bind him. Long since we declared that he would | not be the puppet of the politicians, and nobly has he verified our prediction. is declaration arious | on the Wilmot Proviso, more than any other | says:— ° “In nothing is there greater improvement, or perhaps change, then is continually going on in ship building. The great object of all this is, to combine fast sailing with good carrying. the latter being the great desidera- tum to which the other is, if possible, made subservient. There is, too, more fiaish and smoothness than formerly; and, after all, this, with great carrying, is the prinol; improvement. For, at the risk of being culled an igno- ramas, we must be allowed to expreas an opinion, that there is no improvement upon the fast sailing and real beauty of former times. Instead of the former besutifal symmetry of spars and hull, so gratifying to the seaman’s eye, b rks (ugly half formed things) are the order ef the day; the sticks of a three hundred ton ship are stuck into one of five hun- dred; and the decks, instead of exhibiting the clear and flush’ appearance of former days, 80 convenient for working ship, are now cluttered up with so many houses and blocks of buildings, that one can scarce- yy find his way fore and aft’ without a directory. These sort of vessels are real oqenores; besides, they must be losers in ng run, being crank, requiring more ballast, and li ble to carry full cargoes; in ad- dition, being at al es unbandy and inconvenient.” ‘Lhis meets our view of the case exactly. There is nothing to be gained by so much economy. Itis certainly strange that there is not sufficient room below decks, in the immense vessels that are now built, for passengers and the crew; but the disposition of many ship owners seems to increase with the size of their ships, until by and bye we should not be surprised to see furnished apartments in the tops. The builders of the immense steamer Wash- ington, in their fear of lacking room, built a city upon her decks, which they are now removing. We trust that due attention will be paid to this subject, and thus prevent a repetition of such loss of lifeas we werefyesterday obliged to chronicle. We learn that a Mr. Davis, a steerage passen- ger on board the Mamlouk, lost twenty-four thousand dollars in specie. We were in error in yesterday’s paper as to the insurance by this vessel. The following is believed to be a correct account :— In New York, at the Mutual Safety Ins, Com- pany on Yessel and freight. vl w York Ins. Co. on vessel . ral Mutual Ins. Co. on cargo Atlantic Mutual Ins. Co. on cargo .. .~ GJn N, Bedford and Phila, on vessel, abou a $81,600 The rest of the cargo, it is supposed, is in- aured in Europe, there being no other insurance in New York. Mai, ArRancements.—We learn that Johnson, the Postmaster General, now in this city, has made a contract with James McCul- lock, Esq, for the conveyance of the day mail to and from Boston. Six thousand dollars per annum ere to be paid for this service. The whole community will rejoice to learn that this arrangement hos been effected. Now, -if Cave Jonson will only regulate the Southern mail, and give it to us at ten o’clock in the morning, instead cf four in the afternoon, our merchants will almost feel disposed to erect a monument, not in Westminster Abbey—for that would not be democratic—but in the post-office yard, to commemorate the event. Later rrom VenezveLta.—We are in receipt of the Caraceas paper, El Liberal, of the 31st ult. There is nothing new, though the bank question has beensettled definitively by the go- vernment, on the terms we have already pub- lished. ‘Ihe most lengthy discussions of it are going on in the papers.

On this cocasion this celebrated actor will appear in two charsc- ters, as Alexander, in the tragedy of “Alexander the Great,” and as Charles,in the comedy of the“ Elder Brother.” We trust that the attendance at the Park this evening willbe as large as it ought to beconsidering that the receipts will be for MF Anderson’s benefit. This gentleman has certainly delighted the admirers of the legitimate drama with his acting, and it is no more than justice that a compliment should be paid him on the night of his benefit. We hope and expect that it will be so this evening. Bowsay Tuxatnx.—We promise the patrons of the Bowery Theatre a rich treat at that establishment this evening. Mrs. Shaw is advertised to appear in the character of the Countess, in the beautiful play of “ Love,” in which Mr. Clarke will take the part of Huon. ‘To those who have never seen Mrs. Shaw on the stage, we can promise an entertainment this evening which they will relish and remember as long as they live.— ‘The drama of “ Oliver Twist,” will form the conclusion of the evening’s amusement. As a matter of course the Bowery will be filled to-night, Cnarnam Tueatnr.—An exoellent bill is provided at the Chatnam ‘Theatre this evening..

Castix Ganpen.—This fine resort fer amusement was again ‘fSlled, last evening with an audience of severs; hundred persons.

Pato’s Orena Hovse—Tux Raveis.—We have again to mention that there-was a crowded house and an ex- cellent performance at this place last night. The Ravels have won the admiration of all the lovers of mirth.— Gabriel Ravel’s performances on tight rope, and in the pantomime of “Vol au Vent,” were very fine. La Petite Amour’ was well received, and Mr. Leon Javelli, in his wonderful exercises, surprised the whole audience. ‘Tho vaudeville company played te comedy of “ Perfeo- tion’? with a great ensemble. and Miss Mary Taylor, John Sefton and Placide were as jovial as usual.

The grand fancy dress ball, which itis said, will eclipse all the balls which have gone before it, is just about to begin.

Messrs. John C, Taylor, of 68. Prince street, New York, and the bro- thers Gould, of this place, have shown a degree of enter- prise, in the matter of preparing costumes, which is highly commendable. Mr. Taylor's wardrobe is, proba- bly, the only one unconnected with » theatrical esta blishment, which could at all comply with the demands mado upon it on the present’occasion, The dresses are, many of them, superbly beautiful. ‘The arrangements of the house are all that could be desired.

Sraixo Hors, Ricurinup Sprinos } ‘Aug. 28, 1847, It is hard to abandon a home which has become en- dearing; and the longer our sojourn in that dear vicinity lasts, the greater sorrow we feel when we are finally oom- polled to forego its hallowed joys forever. As for me, I never had a resting place for the sole of my foot ; and when, during my pilgrimage, I have arrived at sanctua- ries where nature appears in those divine shapes which only God can create, | have felt a strong desire to re- mein; I have imagined that there is protection in inno- ownot d safety in poacoful retirement ; I can compre- hond the eagerness with which public meu have re elements of nature. This, s I have reminded you, is a sequestered town, sleeping in silent beauty, in a green valley. I have re- minded you that in the sublime hills which girt us about, there is game; and sway off, beyond this chain Of hills, there is s:limpid lake, wita an Indian name, which [ have sent you. | have also sent you an anelysia Of the Richfield waters, which being more powerful than any other sulphuric waters on this continent, are, I be- lieve, destined to become more celebrated than any other, In thy t months, the watering places at the North \y the resort of hundreds of thousands, ‘and the only diffculty which presents itself to my mind is the fact that there is no entertainment for plicants for lodgings at the hotels.

The waters have been analyzed hy known chemists, who have pronounce them more it and more strongly im: ted than any springy of the kind in the world, except those near Paris. During the next season the conveniences for visiters will be most ample and luxuri- ous; this elegant hotel will be enlarged to twice its pro- sent size. To the Richfield Springs 1 commend all the invalids and poets, and naturalists, and philosophers, and lovely women in America. Among the company here is Miss B. of Herkimer; she is » graduate of a seminary of high rank, and she is model daughter of an American citizen; artists are im- ‘urbable, but Salvator could not have looked at such ead as her's without @ feeling of frenzy. Several emt- nent men from New York are here with their households, and they do not design to leave in a month.

Barn House, Thursday, Aug. 26, 1847, The boarders at this delightful watering place give a ball to their friends on Friday, (this) evening, which is expected to bea more than usually fine affair. Many distinguished strangers, at present sojourning with us, we learn, have been invited. Police Intelligence. Caught on the Jump.—Officer Wilson, of the 15th ward, arrested on Wednesday afternoon @ fellow call- ing himself Bill Smith, on a charge of stealing a lot of silver ware valued at $116, the property of Mr. J. J. Pal- mer, residing at No, 216 Fourth street. It appears that the officer spotted the accused trying the various door handles ia the above street, and suspecting something was wrong. piped him down the street until he came to door of Mr. Palmer, which door happening to be on the Jatch in he went, and no sooner was the rascal in than in popped the officer, and passing into the parlor, there he dropped on the rogue just * lifting” the above named silver from the closet, and one of the napkins was alrea in his pocket. Immediately upon seving the officer, the rascal exclaimed, ‘* You have caught me on the jump— 1 Pi 4 guilty—don’t, for God’s sake, swear hard on me.”” T cused finding himself caught in the act surre: dered himeeif like a lamb, and the officer notified Mr. Palmer of the robbery, who felt much pleased with the detection ofthe thief, and Justice Roome locked the “sneak ” up for trial. Charge of Stealing Segare —Officer Crosett, of the lower police, arrested yesterday noon, rather a genteel young man by the name of Ugly Ely, on a war- rant issued by Justice Drinker, wherein he stands ohi d with having stolen from the possession of Sam- uel Phillips, of 23 Cherry street, 300 segars, valued at $10, The magistrate held him to in the sum of $300 to answer the charge, in default of which he was committed to the Tombs for trial. Dishonest Sailors.—Officers Duflon and Rooney, of the 7th ward, arrested on Wednesday afternoon, two French sailors, called Rowal Lewis and Dira Vanout, on @ charge of stealing 45 franc pieces from the steamship Missouri, Committed for o further hearing. =Petit Larceny.—Officer Coughlin, of the 17th ward, Strestod, yesterday, a fellow called Thomas Williams, on a charge of stealing about 50 pounds of lead pipe, be- ee to J.

CommENCEMENT aT Harvarp Coutece.—The sun shone bright and the weather was most vorable yesterday, on the recucren mencement of the most numerous branch of our ven ble University. ‘The throngs of the old friends and tl young friends of the College, filled, at an early hour, the various avenues which mevt in Cambridge, and the" First Church’? was filled at an early hour by @ large company. of which, as usual—to borrow a phrase from the street— a“ handsome” proportion were ladies. The most illustrious Esquire Governor Briggs, with the most honored Esquire Vice Governor Reed, with Counsellors and Senators of the Commonwealth, (ceteri- que Universitatis Centabrigi nsis Curatores—honoran- di—let us add—atque reverendi,) were present at an earl hour With them came Hon.

The exercises were conducted in the usual manner, and according to the order which we yesterday publieh- ed. We can say of the hese ban sin! brief, that they were highly satisfactory to the friends of the graduating class, and gave ample and interesting proof tothe friends of the College, neither the class or those to whom it had been entrusted for instruction and guidance, had neglected their appointed duties. We have not time to particularise, even if it were worth while to do +0, but we are glad to say in general terms, that the performances and the elocution of the young gentlemen graduating were highly creditable to themselves and the College, Our lere will recollect that the time honored cus- tom of * Master’s orations”’ from candidates for the de. aduating class. the degrees of A.

Several A.M. degrees were grant- ‘ed out, of course, ‘The following honorary degrees were then granted :— Meesrs Evengelinus A Sophocles and Henry Warren Torrey, tutors in the University; Eben Norton Hors- ford, ‘umford Profersor; and Rey. Frederic T. Gray, were made Masters of Arts. Doctors of Divinity.—Rev. Samuel Barrett, of Boston; Rev. Emerson Davis, of Westfield; Rev. William H, Fur- ness, of Philadelphia; and Rev.

M1, The stock market opened very buoyant this morning, and every fancy in the list improved, some as much as three per cont. Treasury notes closed firm at yester- duy’s prices. Long Island went up } per cent, Canton 8, Farmers’ Loan 1, Harlem 134, Norwich and Woroester 3, Reading 3, Morris Canal 2, Illinois +y, Penn. fives 4.— There were large salesat the improvement, and there was great activity among the bulls. ‘I'he ups and downs in the stock market are so sudden and so unoxpected, that the shrewdest speculators are caught on the wrong side of the fence. Some of the fancivs have, amidat the wreck which others have experienced, steadily advanc- ed, and there is everyjprospect at present ofthe shorts in Hariem and Nogwich paying pretty dear for supplivs to make good their contracts, At the second board, Norwich and Worcester fell off 1 per cent; Treasury Notes 3s; Canton advanced 2 per cent; Morris Canal 134; and Long Island 4. There have been many remarks made lately relative to the quarterly reports of our banks,and as the free banking law appears to be decidedly defective upon this point, it is proper that the question should be placed before the public in its true light, We are in favor of frequent ro- ports of the banks in every State in the Union, but we want.them made in such a way as will give the best in- sight into their operations. It is also necessary that al) the banks in each State should make their ceporte sim- ultaneously, that we may arrive at the whole banking movement of each State. So far aseach bank is con- cerned, each report stands by itself, but we want some- thing upon which we Gan form an opinion relative to the ‘eggregate bank movement of the country, some data, from which we can base calculations of the periodical expansions and contractions, and the influence upon commercial affairs. According to the free banking law, private bankers are not required to make a quarterly report of the con- dition of their banks, or the pcsition of their banking Operations; and so long as any one of these bankers re- fuse to make reports, the public are deprived of a cor- rect statement of the banking movement of the State.— We annex a statement of the proprietor of the New York State Stock Security Bank, giving the authority upon which he refuses to report to the Comptroller. We give this for the purpose of pointing out to the Legisla- ture the defects in the law as it now stands; the Comp- troller is already acquainted with them, and {s therefore compelled to make his report without the returns of the above named bank. Other private bankers in this State have as much right to refuse waking quarter- ly reports, or any other reports, as the proprietor of the New York State Stock Security Bank, and it is by no means improbable that some of them may not doso. Private bankers, under the free bank- iog law, are annually increasing, and it would be well for the Legislature to alter the law eo that quarter- ly reports will be made by every banking institution in the State, whether carried on by an inuividual, or by & board of directors, whether owned by one or one han- dred individuals. To tHe Epiror or tur Heratp:— ‘The Albuny Argus, of the 17th instant, has the follow- ing paragraph: “We have ree the tabular state ment, prepared at the Comptrolier’s office, of the Quar- terly Returns of the Banks fur the Ist instant, which we shail publish in a few days; reports were received from the New York state Stock Securit; Bank &o.”’ This sppsers to imply that the Laseceraped pelted jank is pee to m sig I ‘an ates ornsyre for not . ‘The wibany Argue ought to know that the above mentioned bank has never mede sny quarterly report, although it has been established for the last nine years; the reasons why have been once before givea to the Argus, who acknowledged them to be satisfactory, as will be shown farther. ‘The Comptroller subscribes the quarterly statement of the condition of the banks, in the Moclee terms :— “The preceding statement is an abstract of the quar- terly reports made to this office hy the several Inourpo- rated Banks, Banking Associstions and private Bankers, in pursuance of the third and fourth sections of thy act entitled ‘An Act to abolish the offloe of Bank Commis- sioner, and for other purposes,’ passed April luth, 1043."” It may bo easily ascertained by reading over the third and fourth seotions referred to, that nov ® word about private banxers is to be found therein; querturly i¢- ports ure required in clear and explicit lengusge trom such banks and banking associations os may be, wiih propriety, comprehended under the general term of capi tal stock banks; the number and kind of items de- manded are minutely specified, the form of the printed biank statements, seut .o the banks to make their report thereon is drawm up accordingly, and there is nowbing therein coptained that has the least bearing to the pri- vate bunker, wh@bar no capital stock to acvount for Well, thia act of 18th April, 1643, by virtue whereof reports are required, had been enacted six months when ihe Mlbuny Argue, of Um Viet August, 1843, atuted that the New York state Stock Security was sutject to # fine of one hundred dors for not having complied with the law of 16th April, 1943, —for not having made s quarterly-report. As soon as I saw the state- meat | wrote a communication, which appeared over my sigouture, in the Evening Post, of the 20th of August, and in the Heraid of the 90th, which tovk up the question of reports in all its bearings — It proved conclusively that the New York State stock Security Bank was not bound to make # quarterly re- pore. The reasous then given have never been anseered or controverted by the Bauk Department, and the Alba- ny drgus of the 4th of September following, acknow- ledged ite error iu the following wordr:—“Having doue the New York State Stook Becurity Bank uninten- onal injustice, we copy. with pleusure the folio jog correetion from Tiempsons’ Bank Noti orter of the 30th ult, ‘he Argus of the 2st ‘ust, is not correct, in setting down the New Yorke State Stock Security Baok, as one of the subdjeot Wo a fine of one bundred dollars, for not having complied with the 3d auction of the law of 18ch April, load.
