Sunday, Dec, 19-6 P, M. ‘There has been a decided improvement in the stock market during the past week. Prices have fluctuated Considerably, but the closing prices were, in many in. stances, several per cent above those.currentat the close of the market on the Saturday previous. Operators have within the past day or two,mot been much dis- posed to make transactions, both the bulls and the bears preferring apparently to wait the arrival of the steamer, now nearly due, than to involve themselves to anylextent, before the complexion of the next foreign news isknown. The Hibernia, the packet of the 4th inst., will bring fifteen days later accounts from all parts of Europe, and the general impression is, that they will be wore favorable than the last. We have no doubt that another list of suspensions will be reported, and that the rate of interest willstill rule high; hut there were evidently indications of returning coufiieno» when the last steamer left, and it is probable the public mind has become more settled. In the event of there being a further advance in breadstuffs in the English markets, it will give great activity tocorn in this country, and place the returning prosperity of Great Britaia in a pre- carious position. The news,on the whole, is likely to be of the utmost importance, and the greatest anxiety exists to learn its purport. Our money market is much easier than it has been for some time past. The shipments of specie have been much less than anticipated, and the rec ip's from the interior nearly fll cp the vacuum produced by the torega demand. The banks ere not discounting so largely an asual, in consequence of the more limited de- mand from the commercial classes, and money is doubt- jess more abundant in yousequence of the reduced wanis. ‘Yhe annexed table‘exhibits the quotations for the prin- c\pai stooks in this market for each day of ihe past week, und at the close of the week previous, Prices ‘or most of the fancies have improved several per cent: - Qvorations VOR THE PRiNciFAL Stvcas in THE onk Maker. io aaa!

Prices for cotton rule solow that it requires less capital to move it Hence the reduceddemand upon the banks of South Carolina and other States for facilities. The Planters, generally, are in a condition to hold for better prices, and the probability is that they will realize an improvement upon the open- ing of the spring trade. The crop now coming t> market will be much larger than anticipated early in the season; but the-deficiency in the stock in first hands;on the other side, is equal to the surplus of the present crop, or rather to the excess of this crop over last. The manufacturers of Europe are in a horrible condition; they are worse off than they haveever been before, becanse they have now rivals in the field that grow and strengthen upon their distress; and in times past, they had nothing of this kind. In the previous de- pressions which the manufacturers of Great Britain have from time to time, experienced, they have maintained the monopoly, and have, upon the resumption of business, had not only the deficiency to supply, produced, by the }a-tial suspension, but the markets of the world in their control. The case is now different, as every nation of any importance in the world, is rapidly increasing its own manufacturing interests; but the aim of our manu- facturers is, to meet Great Britain in all foreign mar- kets, and compete with her in their supply. The coton growers have, therefore, very little to fear inthe way of prices. The consumption of the raw material is increasing so rapidly that the production will, on the average, be proportionably less every year, until the section of country adapted to the growth of that staple, will Le completely covered with the plant to supply tho demand. The cotton growing section of tho world is limited, while there is no limit to the consumption; hence the belief we entertain that prices for (he raw material can- not go below remunerating points. Cotton can je af: forded much cheaper then is generally supposed. Any great fall from high prices is calculated to convey the impression that the planters must be heavy losers; such however, is not the fact, as the speculators generally suf- fer more from depreciations of that kind. It is long time since the planters have been lorers in their crops; and even amidst the heavy depression which has so long weighed upon the manufacturers of England, prices are still above remunerating points. ‘The fall so far has been about thirty-three per cent in prices,and the in- crease in the production about twenty-five per cenf, showing in fact a more limited depreciation in the aggre- gate than appears at the first glance.

A most preposterous idea prevails with many pubiic men, that they ate not amenable to public opinion. — Several glaring instances of this hallucination have re- cently occurred. Mr. Clay refused to permit any but his own garbled report of bis Lexington speech to ap- pear; and his wretched instrument at that place, con- senting to this outrage, upon his order denounced in imperative terms the men who dared to disobey the mandate of his master. It is ensily susceptible of proof, that Mr. Clay’s spoken speech differs materially, in lan- guage at least, from that issued with his imprimatur,— When refusing to have his words reported regularly did he foresee this discrepancy, as an accident that might happen, or did he wish to make one : Lexington, and wnother to the Union? If ue nts could have been his motive ? Representatives organized, Scarcely hasjthe House of before a member rises in his seat, and gravely informs the Speakerithat he desires to speak to # question of privilege The whole matter, when evolved in the gen. Ueman’s speech, turned out to be, that a paper of the party to which he claims to belong, had commented ou is conduct in giving a certain vote. Could any thing be more absurd! In rebuttinges charge made by one of his own party papers, be consumes the time of the House, and interrupts the business of the nation. He had not even the excuse that the article was abusive or indecent; but merely that it charged him with having done what he really did, and what he did not wish to : an article 7 age in @ paper which nobody regards as worthy of notice, commenting on ‘th oh ofa member of the House, in relation to the President's message on the River ang Harbor Bill of last seasion, and straight) the member rises in his sout to make u personal explanation. The Union is the paper in which the remarks appeared — the censor, Mr. Pettit, of Indiana. I do not mean to excuse the Union, or to find fault with Mr. Pettit, particularly ; but this’ practice of making newspaper censure of a member's course, or speach, or vote, subject of personal explanation in the House, in radically wrovg. Members_of both houses, the moment they enter the halls of Congress, seem to lose sight of one important fuct—that they are the mere creatures of their constituents, and that they are amenable to public epinion,expressed through the popular organs—the press. ‘They pretend they conter great favor on newspapers by admitting them on the floor of Congress, ‘This is all a mistake. in the first place, the people have long ago recognised the right of the press to spread before them reports of the proceedings of their servants ; and, there- fore, the editor and reporter have as much right to cem- ment and report on those | sateen aa the member has to speak and vote. ‘The tormer right, although not so directly conferred, is just as much ‘reoognined by the People as the latter. And in the next place, even sup- posing it to be a favor, and not a right, to be allowed to Teport and comment upon the proceedings in Congress, that favor is more than repaid by the notoriety conferred, the reputation built up, the fame bestowed upon mem- bers, byithose reports. It is tho right ofja free press in every country. to com- ment with perfect freedom upon the conduct of Public men. A man would be laughed out of either of the English houses of parliament, who should attempt to make the comments of a newspa| jubject for perso- nal explanation. When*has the London Times been called to account at the bar of the House of Commons, for one of its scathing invectives, or the defuuct Age. for any of its terribly abusive, but able philippice? Shall there be leas liberty in this republican government than in that monarchy? There is yet another instance of this most absurd usurpation o/ a sacredness of character, which reall does not exist anywhere in this government or its ‘oft. cials. The reporter of a Baltimore newspaper saw fit to report a scene at the Fremont court-martial, which one of the members conceived to place him ina derogatory light. Heroupon @ council was held, and the reporter was ourted from the court. Courts military are neces- sarily anomalous in the regulation of theirjproceedings, and should, therefore, be treated as exceptions to courts in general. If the court martial had refused to allow its Proceedings to be reported in the first instance, few would have complained; but not having refused this privilege to the press, it should never have m«nifested chagrin at full reports being made.

The assumption of prerogative is always dangerous, It in- variably leads to disastrous results.

GALVIENSIS, Wasuixaron, Deo, 18, 1847. Another Letter from old Zachary General Toylor never surrenders!” —Fairly out before the Country Something about the Vacancy at Naples, and the Can- didates therefor— good Policy—Removal of the Speaker ‘of the Lower House, the illustrious’ John Foy—Doings of the House~-Poticy of Mr, Cathoun. A movement has been in progress to supplant General Taylor. The old hunkers of either party are anxious to get him out of thy way before they organise and ap- point their respective leaders for the campaign of 1849. Recently there wasa Taylor meeting held at an inland town in western Pennsylvania, at which a series of reso- lutions were passed, approving the achievements and character of General Taylor, and urging him, before their fellow citizens, & proper didate for the Pre- sidency. A copy of the proceedings’ of the meeting was sent to Gen. Taylor, to which he has replied; and from his reply, addretsed to distinguished member of the House of Representatives from,the K ey Stone State, we are permitted bo copy the following significant extract, to wit Hrap Quantens, Army or Ocouration, 2 Buazos Istanp, ‘Texas, Nov. 26, 1847," § “T have read the resolutions adopted by the meeting, with great pride and pleasure, and | beg you to convey to the members of the meeting, on a suitable cccasion, my thanks for the distinguished honor they have so flatteringly bestowed upon me ; and my assurance that Ihave no wish or intention of changing the position which I stand toward the people of the country in re- lation to the Presidency, or the course which I have felt it my duty to pursue. ¢ * + (Signed) “Z. TAYLOR, Major Gen. U. 8. A.” This clearly shows that old is going to stand his hand—that he hus no intention either of being ruled out by secret circulars or by national conventions ; and they who are the regular nominees, if he should not be one of them, may make up their minds to run against him and beat him if they can. ‘There is no such thing as evading the fact that Gen. Taylor has taken 4 fast hold on the minds of a vast number of the American people, of all pursuits, religions and politics ; and it is almost beyond the power of any rystem or combination of intrigues or political sbufiling, to shafile or caucus the old General off the track. He in out —he is betore the county—he says he is pot goim to retreat, because he has taken his posion. He is going to run for the Presidency — his programme ia before the country; and if it suits the people, well and good; if not, he is quite content. On the other hand, we have seen a letter from a dir- tinguished whig, who has heretofore been among the most devoted of the friends of the “rage of Ashland,” who says, emphatically, “I am doae with Henry Clay.” ‘This is ominous; and we fear that the Inst chance of the great statesman of Kentucky has gone by the board ‘The chargeship to Naples is in great det d—it is at premium Tha: fine bay—that fine climate hat fine thone fine women—those fine times that are to belong only to Italy, aud only to Naples. de that mission surpassingly attractive. Major Polk gave us #uch charming descriptions of the moon- shine, and the scirces, and the festivals, nod the operas, and the gala days, and the ruins of Pompeii, and ali Uhatinort of thing, that Naples has become as popular asthe Pope. Mr. ex-Speaker Davis would perhaps like togo. And fo far from having any objection to his going, we should be glad to see it, But Robert Tyler has been here, and Robert ix a younger man, and has more of the poet about him than Mr. Davis-—vide Medora’s Dream, and the Wandering Jew. Oh! wha! lorious contummation that mission would be tot modest and deserving laureate of Old Veto's merry administra- tion! And we do say, and shail insist upon it, that the executive owes something to the Tylers. They did good service in 1844, notwithstanding the Tyler convention, and the Demisthenian ‘commonly called De- lusion Smith. as the time of the Johas, and the Joneses, It was good time, and the old John and John the younger, were good men at home as ever lived—for the hospitalities of the Whi House were never more popularly administered than ‘Tyler's household, from the beautiful bride in the elipti- cal saloon, to Rannaban, the learned and polite janitor at the vestibule. But we dosay the Tylers have been unfairly treated. The captaincy offered to John in Mexi co, Was sometling, and was in good taste; but we should like to see Robert complimented in some proper and ad - vantageous, appointment, if the administration wishes to retain, or rather to regain, the affection of our Irish fellow-citizens, Then there is Waddell- the handsome, gallant, and literary Waddell, of New York—who ap- pears before you liku ® sprig of the nobility, and who ts as liberal as & prince, We doubt not he would like to go, and perhaps he would produce a more favorable impres- sion among the Neapolitan: he America: of the candidates on the ground. it is that Mr. Davie has the best chance, ere &fe some other nice openings ab oad, and there will be no slack of applicants, The President takes his time upon such matter, in these days, for when his patronage is nearly absorbed, it js well to be judicious in its expenditure, The Vice President having ordered the removal of | Joho West and his iiquears from the basement on the Senate side of the Capitol, the Speaker of the House has 0 FORTE KOR servea ap ntallhonrs of theday and night.
