She has since been tried and sentenced days confinement in the county jail. We have just neon one of the police officers from Rochester, from whom we learn that she is, as we predicted, an old offender. There is 60 much that is erating and shameful in the career of this wom: we deem it dus to the public that. she should nd ed. by her works,” and the community be placed upon their guard. Hor name is Effa Sizer, She kept a millinery establish- ment in Whitesboro’ in 1836,from which place she moved to Victor in the apring of 1837, where she hired a store with a view to commence the same business. Shortly after, sho visited Rochester, where she both stole and Yr sed goods, and where she was detected. Having excited the suspicions of Mrs. Gifford,a well known dealer In dry goods at Rochester, measures were taken to follow ber in her visits to other stores. She was fin traced to a hotel, and arrested whilein the act of ack’ng up her stolen treasures, consisting of dry goods, hardware, aud even dried meat,stolen from the batcher’: stall. It was then discovered that she changed hotels every day. leaving the plunder of each day at the hotel she had left After being tried on three out of eight! charges. she was fined forty-five dollars. During the in- Tue veatization it was ascertained that she had stolen goods | in Utica while a resident ef Whitesboro’. Information was given to the Utica police, and she was taken to Ucica, with goods which were identified by the Utica merchants, where she was convicted end sentenced to six months imprisonmeut in the county jail. Whether sho has continued this business without further detec- tion until recently, is more than we are able to learn. She is about five feet hich, dark complexion, with black eyes and hair, is lady-like in Cpa and possesses remarkable powers of conversation. She usually wears glasses, and maintains a deportment that hardly admits of her being suspected. She is in fact « talented and ac- complished thief, who understands her profession, and tukes pleasure in gratifying her propensity for stealing. — Syracuse Journal, Paveexiem tx Boston.—During the year end- ng Nov.

M. ‘The stock market was niuch more buoyant to-day, and prices, in several instances, advanced a fraction.— At the first ‘Treasury Notes, Illinois 6’s, Penn. 5's, Reading Mortgage Bonds, and Norwich, closed at prices current yesterday.

Treasury Notes closed firm at prices current in the morning. ‘The news from Europe is highly important in a com- mercial point of view, and is, upon the whole, rather more favorable than the last. There had been a decline in cotton of about one cent per pound. This was the result of ‘three causes :—first, the suspension of mills; second, the advance in breadstuffs; and, third, the ac- counts from this country of # larger yield than previously anticipated. All these things tended to depress the market, #1 stated above was realised. The advance im breadstuffs is of the most vital importance to this country, as it will stimulate shipments and arrest the exportation of specie. The stoppage of mills will reduce the consumption of cotton and depreciate prices; but there is no way of avoiding an importation of breadstuffs, if there is @ defloiency in the domestic supply. People must eat, and #0 long as there is @ pound sterling in bul- lion in the kingdom, what is imported must be paid for. That there will be very soon a very extensive demand for our breadstuffs, no one can doubt. There are enough evidences to prove this, and holders on this side will without doubt avail themselves at once of the advance. The Bank of England had loosened the screws a little, tha Government having rescinded the bank act of 1844, soasto enable that institution to make loans on secu- rities, in sums of not les, than two thousand pounds, which the bank has availed itself of, and gives notice that such loans will be made at the rate of eight per cent interest. Wedo not much relish the falling off in the Price of cotton, as it will reduce the value of our orop millions, but the advance in breadstuffe will increase the value of our grain crops tens of millions. ‘The demand for foreign exchanges has been very mo- derate for some time past.

The demand for foreign exchange, for the packets which have left this port and Boston during the past week, has beon limited, while the shipments of specie have been about one million of dollars. The arrival of these shipments in England must have a very favorable this country will of course be of a corresponding nature. As scon as confidence begins to rise again, and credits become established, the sterling’bills in our market will be in more demand for remittance, and the outward cur- rent of specie be very much reduced. The panic pro- duced by the exportation of specie within the past week or two, shows how sensitive the public mind is upon this point, when the movement first commences, and the tids tting from us; but the moment it turns and sets in, there will be as great @ reaction in the public mind, and we shall rapidly recover everything we have lost. We shall be in a much better and stronger pori- tion,as the check upon credits, which the panic has pro- duced, was necessary, and must have a beneficial influ- ence npou commercial matters generally. In times like these, all such restrictions are desirable, and produce a healthy state of thin; It is necessary that we should at times stop and take an observation of our position, that our course may be more carefully marked out and our condition better understood. A little panic is a good thing, and creates a degree of cautiousness in com- mercial circles calculated to prevent too great an ex- pansion in equally times, when sail should be taken in, and every thing made snug.

Wasninaton, 9 o'clock P. M., Nov. 18, 1847. The Despatches from Mr. Trist~The Condition of Mex- ico—English Interference. Despatches have been received from Mr. Trist, by this | | evening's mail, I cannet learn that any have arrived | for the Secretary of War. ‘Those which have been re- ceived, were put into the mail at New Orleans by Lieut Sears, be himself not coming by the mall route. He wil “rrive here to-morrow evening, and may bring des- patches from Gen. Svott. Mr. ‘Trist’'s de+patches contain nothing new nor of im- portance. Every thing was in precisely the same con- dition as at previous advices. Congress had not, it would seem, commenced its reasion. Apathy is gradu- | ally stealing over the mind cf Mexico—the apathy of denpair. ‘The leaders are accuring exch other daily of | treason to the State, corruption, cowardice, and every Santa Anas is universally repro- | bated, and yet the fortunes of the republic have fallen | with bis. No other man has shown half the talent he has, noc, whatever may be said of his deficiency of phy- sical bravery, does any body else possess half his courage and tact to recuperate the energies of the nation after the most disastrous reverses. Paredes has issued « maudlin manifesto, li tears and spleen. He bas adopt- ed the foolish charge of the opposition in this country that an understanding existed between his ancient enemy and Mr. Polk, relative to his admission into Mexico, No understanding ever existed; but the tone of Santa Anna, at Havana, was very different from that he assumed as soon as he landed at Vera Crus.— and however traitorous Paredes may represent him, be nevertheless was more true to what he considered her real interests than Paredes himself, whose intention un- doubtedly was to invoke European interference against the United States, and to give the throne of Mexico, as an equivalent for that interference, to some of the many poor’ royal houses in want of a crown, He is now en deavoring to establish a monarchy, but without the slightest chance of success. It may be well to say, pa- renthetically, that sufficient has been lately ascertained of the views of the British government, to make it oer- | tain that in no event will that power interfere with us | in our treatment of Mexico. It is expected that @ por- tion of the opposition in Parliament will bring the ques- tion before both houses next seasion, and accuse the minister of timidity in not interposing to put an end to the Mexican war, or to prevent the total annihilation of the sovereignty of the republic. Mr. Bankhead will pro- | bably return home and report to his government in person. Instructions will go out to our minis- ter to say in reply to any enquiries of the British Secretary of foreign affairs, that we are resolved in any event to respect the private rights of the British merchants and companies in Mexico, and to act towards them in regard to their liens on mines and other property, precisely asthe Mexican go vernment would be in justice constrained to act, were it still in existence. But after we shall have once pro- claimed the federal and State governments abolished, English mercan ile companies must respect our rights, and act towards us fairly and frankly, as the possessors of the soil for the tine being. For, this government is resolved to prostrate both federal and State governments in Mex:co, and to estab” lish balf military, haif territorial, governments in their stead, to levy taxes »md duties on imports, to seize the public mines, and either farm them out or work them, as shall be most advantageous; to seize the tobacco mo- nopoly, to administer the government in accordance with the laws of nations, and by all these means to exact from Mexico a revenue sufficient to maintain our fleets and armies, if we canuot coerce her into such a peace as will permit us to withdraw them. GALVIENSIS. Wasninaron, Noy, 19, 1817. Mexico—Myr. Calhoun’s Prophecy—Mr Clay's Pro- dramme—The Approaching Congress, and the Pros- pect and Chances of Peace. ‘The stampede on that day carried every thing slong with it. Even those minds that were deemed too firm and well balancell to be shaken by any human contin- gency, were borne.along with the swollen excitement, and inthe space of a single day, ten millions were appro- priated; 50,000 men ordered to be mustered, war declared, and at all hazards, we were in for the struggle. © On that day, the 13th day of May, 1846, Mr. Calhoun, alone, of all the Senate, maintained the equipoise of his reasoning faculties. On that day when Taylor's little army was regarded as in danger of annihilation, and all men of all parties, were overwhelmed with the necessity of hisrelivf, the great man of South Carolina, alone | stood up to resist the panic of the two houses He asked one day's grace for reflection. It was refused. He then declared that the act of war“ Jet down an impene- trable curtain between him and the future,” beyond which all was dark: mystery and apprehension. He spoke with the earnestness of inspiration, and the im- | pressive folemnlty of @ prophet. Time has d rapidly, and its stirring events have crowded #0 thickly upon eack other, that the proceed- ings on the war bill in Congress have almost passed from the public reeollection ; but, by the “art of memory,” there is one single expression in that day’s momentous | act which gives the memory a clue to the whole affair ; | and that was, that the act of war placed an impenetra- ble curtain between us and the fature, beyond which we could not see. So we find it. Who can tell us where a single year of the future may carry us? Shallwe be negotiating with Honduras tor a boundary, or chaffering with Palmer- ston and poor old Spain for the Island of Cuba? The peeetesy, wall on the South has been broken away—not ‘0 stone is left to impede our expansion ; and who shall fay, “Stop here—draw the line—this is far enough !— influence of the army will be powerful to keep the war alive—the navy will find it policy to sustain the Prolongation of the war. Mr. Clay had a fine opening for a good card. But he refused to touch the defensive line, simply. perhaps, be- cause Mr. Calhoun had already recommended it; for we know how jealous is Harry of the West of John of the South. The defensive line, recommended by Henry Clay, wo delieve, would have united to # moral certainty the whigs and Calhoun men in both branches of Co gress, and thus we would have had « peace and « boun. dary. Between the plan of Mr. Calhoun and the entirety ot Mexico, we have but faint hopes of the success of plan. The idea of prosecuting the war for nothing, absurd. To tell the honest truth, 1 “must have that harbor of San Francisco, any how—cost what it will ; and the fact that it is the most beautiful bay in the world, is the strongest argument to be presented in favor of its possession—if we abandon that, we abandon every thing; for of all the territory proposed to be an. nexed by the line of Mr. Tri ishing in the whole 600, 000 square miles, (deducting the little vallies of Sai Francisco bay.) there is scarcely a square league that will ever be worth the shoe-leather expended in — in exploring ft. ut 376,- miles, of which upwards of 300.000 square miles are a positive, unmitigated, desert—the bay of Sam Francisco and its vallies are all that is worth having of all that we proposed to take of Mexico by treaty. All the reat would be a dead expense to the treasury to keep it, for the next thousand years; and the farther south from the Rio Grande (till you reach th ot Panuco and San Luis Potosi, thence across,) the worse wiil be the bargain. Short, indeed, of the a ition of the whole of Mexico, we see no other plan than the line of Mr. Calhoun. The curtain will have to be lifted by the next Con gress; and we see no greater obstacles to Mr. Calhoun’s plan now than those which in November, 1845, stood im the way of theline of FORTY-NINE. Wasninctos, Nov. 19, 1847 News of the Night. We bave a report to-night that Santa Anna has made oT y | his escape out of Mexico, without « pass | Also, that the Mexican government (if there be one) has accep'ed the renewed offers of Mr. Trist (if he has renewed them), or promised that there was a possibility they would accept them, upon which vague and uneub- stantial basi havé the accompanying report of » treaty actually concluded ‘The line of the treaty is said to be the Sierra Madre, which is worse and worte, ‘There is no line like the Rio Grande—none 60 enfe for as—there can be Done more clearly defined—none like it for peace ; but cross it, and you are gone to Darien, and an inside row will wind up the business ef re-annexation. | We rely upon the good sense of Congress to hold to the Rio Grande- the desert between the Nueces and the Bravo,was the boundary of “jackson ; but it is too late in the day now for apy thing short of the Rio Grande. Talk of the Sierra Madre—why, sir, the more land you | take south of the Bravo, the poorer you are—s Yankee can't live this side the Sierra Madre. And efter you cross it, you have a desert away up there in the mote: | tains, of 300 miles to start wit After you leave the | Rio Grande there is nothing of value ba be hed this aide of the basin of Mexico.
