At the first board, treasury notes, Farmers’ Loan, Morris Canal, Norwich and Wor- cester, Long Island and Harlem, closed at prices our- rent yesterday ; Penn 5's advanced 34 per cent, while Reading Bonds fell off 14, and Reading Railroad }¢ per cont. At the second board, Herlem advanced \4, while Others remained the same. There were only three or four sales in the afternoon. The Mechani nd Farmers’ Bank of Albany has de- clared a dividend ot five per cent. The Bank of the State of Georgia has declared a semi- annual dividend of three dollars per share. The demand for foreign exchange for remittance by the Boston steamer of the Ist proximo, has not been as yetvery active. There is so little confidence in bills that many will be induced to ship specie, even at alors. We -quote bills on London at 8%a9 per cent premium; on Paris, 6722)ga5f20; Amsterdam, 40!(a40}4; Hamburg, 86836; Bremen, 7947934. The suspension of the house of Reid, Irving & Co, caused considerable anxiety among those interested in ‘the Bank of Charleston, S. C., as it was reported that a largo amount of bills had been protested. The bank hes made o statement to this effect. The total amount of drafts drawn by them upon Reid, Irving & Co., since the firet of July to the present time, amounts to £1,334 14s. 4d., and as the drafts wore all at sight, and for sums from £1 to £100, with one or two exceptions, a portion of them have doubtless been paid, but how much, the bank is unable to state, Whatever of this amount, however, remained out after the stoppage of Reid, Irving & Co., would be protected by the Bank of Liver- pool (the regular correspondent of the Bank of Charles- ston) who promptly interfered for the purpose, and has already paid and returned to the bank all the drafts pre- sented prior to the Sth of October. ‘The Bunk of Charleston, as is well known, keep their general account with the Bank of Liverpool in Live pecl, and their transactions with them are numerous and toa largo extent. With Reid, Irving & Co. they have kept small special accounts, for the convenience of small remitters in Charleston to Ireland, and who, during the late famine, ‘wanted checks direct upon London and at sight, and for this purpose it was rarely necessary to keep a balance in London of from more than £1000 to £5000, This ba- lance, as shown by Reid, Irving & Co.’s account current on the 30th June last, was £2894 17; from which is to be deducted an amount of sight checks then in transitu, but drawn prior to that date, and so much of the amount drawa since the Ist July as may appear to have been paid. ‘This balance, whatever it may be, with three bills of exchange remitted for collection not long before their failure, and not yet matured, and amounting in the ag- gregate to £3675, comprise the extent of the implication of the Bank of Charleston with Reid, Irving & Co. The Dilla remitted for collection, it is supposed, wiil be hand ed over, or the proceeds held by the assignee, for account of the bank. Counterfeit ten dollar notes on the Bank of Louisville are in circulation. The public works of Pennsylvania will soon be in order again for the resumption of navigation. The West Branch canal will be open in a few days. ‘Che repairs to the main trunk, from Columbia to Northumberland, will probably be completed by the first of November. ‘The North Branch canal has not suffered any injury. The lines, therefore, from the West and North branches, will again be in operation, down to Havre de Grace, in the course ofa week. This will give from four to six weeks more of navigation, and will not only swell the Aggregate income of the State from tolls, but will be of incaloulable advantage to the producers of the section of country through which these works pass, and tend to 4 depreciation in the price of breadstuffs to the con- eumer The amount received for tolls on all the New York State canals during the 3d week in Oct.,was $141,103 11 tees 121,120 93 Same period in 1646, INOPONED 6.65 <:0s0s po 6 50-c0 5 se + $10,982 18 ‘The oggreate amount received for tolls from the com- mencement of navigation to the 22d of October, inclu- sive, (175 days.)

Serious Railroad Accident. - Boston, Oct, 28—6 P M. The freight traia of cars on the Vermout and wissea- obusetts Railroad broke through the bridge mear Athol last evening. by which accident four men were killed, and two badly wounded BY THE MAILS From a New Correspondent, Wasninoron, Oot, 27, 1847 T have been here « fow days, looking around the departments, riding up and down Pennsylvania avent loafing around the hotels, picking up intellingence, and trying to get an office. 1 intend to remain here few days, engaged in the same interesting avocation. Office seeking is full of hope, in the morning of your carver; but in nine cases out of ten, it ends in storms, in thun- der, in lightning, and in elemental war. I pity the President. He is in an awful condition. — His health is bad—his prospects are gloomy—his diffieul- ties numerous. and his friends are waning. The only man of the administration who seems comfortable in this gloom is the living skeleton of the post office, who still laments the five cent postuges, and sighs for the twenty- five cents, and is continually making trouble with his contractors, with the press, with the community, and with Satan and his friends. It would be much better to abolish the Post Office Department altogether, than to conduct it any longer in the way it has been for some time past, Of the plans of the government, in relation to Mexico, everything is said and all sorts of opinions are given. ‘The only actual official despatches that have been re- ceived from Gen. Scott, are those dated the fourth of June last. Not aline has come from the hero of Vera Cruz and Mexico, since that time. He wrote to Mr. Maroy at that date, that he had » wagon load of des- patches which he wanted to send ones soon asthe roads and the communications were open; and I suppose by this time they must have increased to two wagon loads, besides the letters and notes from the officers and the army. The only accounts reoelved from Mexico are those written by ofloers of the army. Kendall’s letters are the enly authentic account, published by the organ of the forsrument, The brilliant victories, and the deeds of eur heroic army have created almost as much confusion among the members of the government Upon the wor Mexican armies and statesmen, includiag Sante Auna and his tail. Mr. Polk knows not what todo. Mr. Bu- chanan, with a sad and sorrowful eye to futurity, knows not what to do—Mr. Marcy knows not what to do—Mr. Mason knows not what to do—Mr. Walker knows not whet to do. Ip fact, C Ps really knows what he is about. xpends his brilliancy in mystifying the Post Office Department, and throwing that great branch of the government into confusion. He esi Me a is spent fe does the Soul-ane me country —and | hope so will Cor . One e administration is be swallowing up, Mexied ins, single mouthful—another for waiting till it is properly cooked; but all are in doubt as to what is best to be done in the Present state of affairs. Iam in some hopes, however, that these difoulties will be overcome in a few days. Oysters and champagne have great virtues. ‘One of your distinguished New York i d is assisting in the delibera- been here for nt. is well known in Tammany Hall, and has many friends in that quarter. He has been consulting with the President for some days past, and the result of these consultations is curious He says the only discovery yet made is, that Mr. Polk has entirely popviated Tennessee; that he has given all the offices in his power to Tennesseoans; and thet he is now waiting for a number of hopeful offloe-seekers from the same State to come of age, no as to be able to re- colve further offices from the government. ‘The next Presidency 1s also talked about. A strong party is making for Woodbury, of the North; another for “Mr. Buchanan, of Ponnsylvenis; another for Mr. Walker, of the West, and | think 1 shall go for Cave Johnson in the extremity of his dis- tress, for he seems to be the only man with sufficient moral sublimity capable of plundering and blundering, and being content with it The whigs are beginning to talk of Henry Clay as their first amd foremost candidate, with a reservation for Scott or Taylor in the extremity of distress, when they reach a peint beyond which no medicine can help them. No one talks of Mr Polk as @ candidate for the present ; no one for Col. Bemton, nor jov. I shall remain here a few days, visiting the depart- ments, telking with the Secretaries, ~ ‘code water with the clubs, and joining in prayers in the White House, I may have some further information to communicate and further notes to send for the good of the public, in thie interesting crisis of the nation. In the meantime, ( oleman’s bell rings, and J must go to dinner as fast asl own. ADIEU. Wasninaton, Oot. 26, 1647. The Official Despatches from the Seat of War—The Statements of the Union The Union of last night contains the following :— We received this morning a telegraphic bulletin from Philadelphia editor, inquiring when we should publish General Scott's despatches. ‘This curiosity was proba- bly produced by the blunder of soribbler im this city, who writes to New York that a large budget ot auapateh: te, ron es had arrived from the camp. But the fact despatches have been received from the General, des- criptive of the late stirring events. 48 the above complimentary epithet is doubtless be- stowed upon me, I being the only recorder of the fact that despatches had been received; and, being in a very placid mood this morning ; and, therefore, not disposes to notice the Union's discourtesy, 1 will state for the information of ita editor, that despatches have been received from the city of Mexico by the late arri- val. On Wednesday evening last, a letter was received in the city froma naval officer at the head quarters of the army, who had been in all the battles immediately Preceding the occupation of the capital. This letter was read by the President, and many members of the cabinet, om Wednesday evening, and was not shown to the editor ofthe Union. For what reason it wae with- held, I will not be uncivil enough just now to say, as it would be any thing but complimentary to the old gen- tleman. 1 will state, for his further information, that on Thursday evening, voluminous despatches wore re- ceived from an official personage at thehead-quarters of the army, more voluminous, indeed, than any yet re- ceived during the war; and that on Friday evening « letter was received from en official source at head- quarters, Does the editor of the Union desire further information? If he do, I will inform him that the letter of Wednesday evening was from Licuteoant Semmes, of the navy, who was in all the late battles, volunteer aid-de-camp to General Worth—that tt was addressed to Commodore Perry, and by him en- closed to a member of the Cabinet; and that the des. patches of Thursday evening were from Mr. Trist. The authorship of the letter of Friday evening, I do not feel at liberty to disclose,great as is my desire for the organ lightenment; bat it may be sufficient to say, it has al the authenticity of an official document. And now one word of quiet comment. The editor of the Union.in the paragraph | have quoted, has confessed his entire ignorance of even the existence of important despatches from the head-quarters of the army, that were received in this city five daysago. Hes he not thus convicted himself of the charge I have so often reiterat- ed, that be is not in the confidence of the administra- tion’? The publication in the Herald, in advanes of all other papers, of a summary of the contents of these des- patches, the Union calls m blunder. If that paper were ia the habit of committing euch blunders, it would not be as it is, @ millstone around the necks of the sdminis- tration—it would not be as it is, a stigma of reproach to ite party—it would not be, as it is, discredit to the country whose government organ it professes to be. GALVIENSES. Wasninaron, Oot. 97, 1847, Postal Arrangements—Mexican Mattera—Gen. Scott and the President's Organ, ‘An informal meeting of the cabinet took place to-day at eleven o'clock, by request of the President, who, it is to be presumed, had something important to submit for consideration. I have before stated there is ® prospect of a satisfac- | tory arrangement of the postal difficulty between this | country and Great Britain, I learn that the Earl of Clanricarde, the British Post Master General, has sub- mitted to Mr. Bancroft the draft of a campact, having but a few objectionable features. These objectionable fea- tareg@owever, were doubtisss inserted forthe purpose 0 | prolonging the negotiation and retarding a final adjust ment until the near approach of the time when our retalia- tory measure would go into operation. Great Britain has always claimed the character of a very liberal govern- ment; but there is a sordid meanness in thie whole trans- ation not to be acoounted for in any other way than | that it arises from a miserable jealousy of the great ad- | yancement of this country. For the pitiful tax she hes levied on the letters by our steamer, she isnot much the richer, nor we much the poorer; but it has not lessened the dislike of England, which has grown up with the growth of thie country, end strengthened =. Pi strength. There is no cordiality between the two countrion—the ssuberance of fering which explodes in
