We give to-day, in our regular paper and a supplement, the reports of the Secre.ary of the Treasury, of the Sacretary of War, and also that of the Secretary of the Navy. The report of.the Secretary of War is condensed--the other re- ports are given at Jength. The most important’ of these reports is that from the pen of Mr. Walker. It is longand able, and extremely interesting in all its details and doctrines. | These reports embrace all the regular papers coming from the departments, and accompanied with the President’s message, except the report of Cave Johnson, which we expect to give ina few days. We received them yesterday by ex- .press from Washington, and will probably pub- lish them, exclusively, to this community this morning. The report of Mr. Walker is very long, but it is a very interesting and important document. It gives a history of the tariffs of this country, from the commencement of this government to the present day, and shows most conclusively their character and effects. It is a complete exposé of the inefficiency of high tariffs to the general prosperity and industry of a free and enterprising people. We do not apprehend, however, any disturbance of this branch of the subject by the present Congress. His views on the sub-treasury and treasury notes, and their effects on this country, will speak for them- selves. We have no time to-day to discuss or condense those remarkable passages in his re- port referring to such matters. The report of the Secretary of the Navy is also very well written, and presents an interesting view of that branch of the public service. ‘That of the War Department is extremely long, and we have therefore endeavored togpondense its principal points, so as to present to the public those important documents at one view, and on the same aay. Mr. Marcy asks for ten addition- al regiments of regulars, besides twenty thou- sand volunteers, to serve during the war—ma- king, with those now in the field, and deducting those whose terms of service have expired, a general force of @fty thousand men, for the pro- secution of the war with Mexico, until that country shall come to her sepges, in some way oreother. Ourown belief is that she will not come to her senses at all—that we will Be com- pelled to govern her asa distant territory, tor many years to come, until she is educated and fitted for ultimate annexation to this Union, in the same way as a young and unruly man is made fit and sobered down for annexation in a good match, when he comes to years.

Lancasuine, Nov. 18.—The trade in the cotton mills in the towns round Manchester is much better this week, and toere are prospects of @ revival in various trades. The woollen cloth trad Saddieworth bas been extremely dull for some time pest; but this week better news bas been received from America ; the hands are not fully employed. Mancuseter, Nov. 16—On Thurslay, Friday, and Saturday last,as well as yesterday, there was’s decided- ly more cheerfal feeling here; aud some exten- wive purchases were made for the Levant and other toreign markets, though without sny very decided im- provement in prices.

Tue Inon Trave.—It appears that business upon the whole has remained during the last fortnight ina lan- guishing condition. A few substantial orders have been given out for the fulfilment of engagements that could not be longer delayed ; but we hear that others,to quite aa large an extent, have been countermanded, in many instances, upon frivolous protexts, The disinclination to purchase still continues, from a vague apprehension that lower prices must rule; though the wisest head in the trade would be puzzled to point out a remote advan- tage from euch ® movement, and as stocks are mostly wearing down with uncompleted orders on hand, more business has been done than in the previous fortnight.— Bamingham Gazette.

How has this been accomplished? A number of curious and remarkable cases were brought to ourattention yesterday, of a singular end striking character, convincing us that uader our new constitution, some of the old lawyers are attempting to insinuate themselves into their old courses and pursuits. A course and conduct such as this is an injury to society at large, and is calculated to defeat all the purposes of the change «flected. We must look into this most important subject.

Exceute at Partanranoric Movement.—We understand. that a project which has for some time past been contemplated, for erecting a church ‘znd temporary home for the benefit of destitu' e emigrants of British origin. is in a fair way of. being carried out successfally, through the ligerality of the Vestry of Trinity church, and x number of our philanthropic citizens. A grant of a plat ot land containing twenty- four building, lots on the corner of Fifty-third street and Fifth street, has been obtained, and as soon as the necessary funds are obtained, the erection of a church and hospital, or temporary home, will be commeneed. The design of the proposed institution is, to furnish a temporary home for the indigent emigrant on his ar- rival—a place of refuge for the sick and des- titute; and also the comforts of religious solace, under the name of the Church and Hospital Tue Morars anp Discrmunation o¢ Pour tictans.—The morality of politicians is as far- cieal agit is striking.
