The stock market opened very quiet this morning, but prices did not experience any material alteration. At the first board , Reading Railroad, Canton Co, Farmers’ Loan, and Reading Bonds closed at prices current yes- terday. Harlem fell off \< per cent; Norwich & Worces- ter 4; Long Island 4; and Morris Canal . At the second board prices were about the same, but the transactions were to a very limited extent. The market, however, closed firmer than it opened. Tho steamship Hibernia, for Liverpool, takes out $378,- 600 in specie. There has been a moderate demand for sterling ex- change, to-day,and prime bill on London closed at 108 10}6 per cent premium. Bills on Paris we quote at 6f.25 a 5f.293. The excitement in Wall street relative to the bills 0 the banks of this State, hes partially subsided. The rush of bill-holders wa: ertheless, very great to- '’ and the brokers had as much as they could do to take the bills as fast as offered. It appears that the Franklin Bank and the Merchanta’ Bank, of Chautauque coun- ty, have not failed; they have merely removed their agencis from thir city to Albany, where they were, at the last accounts, promptly redeemed at one-half per oent. discount. The law requires the banks of this State, to redeem their issues either in this eity or im Albany, at not more than one-half per cent discount; and any free bank failing to do so, is forthwith wound up by the Comptroiler. It therefore appears that the two banks above named, have not suspended, as their issues are still redeemed according to law. The only banks of this State which have exploded, are the Atlas Bank, of Clymer, Chautauque county, and the James Bank, of Jamestown. Bills of these banks ars worth about fifty conts on the dollar in Wall street; but we would advise holders not to submit to that sacrifice upon them, aa there is every prospeot of the former be- ing wort! eighty or ninety cents, and of the latter being redeemed at par, before the lapse of many days. There are many holders ot these notes, who cannot keep them: who cannot lay out of a dollar even fora day, and are compelled to realize, at some rate, immediately, Thisis extremely hard for these poople, and it would be well for 10th.

We would advise peo- ple not to stand aheavyshaveonthem. They are worth the face, in trade, and pass current enough among busi- The effect of the panic among holders of bills of the avery alarming nature. It is estimated that full three | hundred thousand dollars in specie has been drawn from | the Wall street banks, within the past two days, and un- city banks will beas bad off as the country banks. A | rain of specie from half s dozen different souroes, con- | tinued for any length of time, would draw every dollar | from their vaults, and we should soon have nothing but | an irredeemable papercurrency. During the past two days, holders of country bank bills have thronged | Wall street for their redemption, and have, upon receiving bills of city banks for the uncurrent they held, upon payment of trom two to five per cent dis- count, presented them at once forthe specie, and ocar- | ried home the gold and silver. Many would take no- | thing but American gold, and the scenes which have taken place in Wall street since this panic commenced, beggar all description. In some cases, poor women, in their fright, have presented at the counters of brok- ers, bills of our city banks, and in their anxiety to get specie, have offered to submit to any sacrifice. We trust that this panic will be allayed; that the poorer classes will not beswindled any more than they have been, and that this difficulty will bring atout some change in the free banking law. As it is, the system is an illusion, and there are many radical defects in its operation. The bill holders are not wholly secure under it, although they are better protected than under any other system weever bad. There should be a margin left for depre- ciation in the State stooks; the Comptroller should not issue bills to the full amount of the par value of the stocks received, and then there would be no difficulty —no discount on the bills in panic times.

While the receipts of specie continued lvrge, and the banks in an expanded condition, prices for stocks, of all kinds, were steadily ncing, and reached the highest points in August and September, The cessation of large importations of the precious metals at that time, caused a suspension of the advance, and since that time pr'ces have been steadi- ly, but slowly, declining, until they have touched points lower than they have been at any time within the past twelve months. The actual value of many of these securities is much greater now than it was last year at this time; and were it not for the depression in the money market, and the threatened revulsion on the market would currently refused; and any trash have commanded 12}¢ cts per Ib. ‘The arrival of the Sarab Sands, about the 10th Febru- ary, with news of real scarcity of breadstuffs in Eng- land, and a decline of 4. in cotton, gave the slarm to holders, and prices sank daily during that month, until on the 3d March, a decline of full 2} to 3 cents per Ib. was currently accepted; from this point the market gained strength, on the fallacious hope of an error in the scarcity of grain in England, and after sev: ral vacilla- tions, the next highest point was reached about the | middle of May, and egsin about the middle of Sep- | tember ; this last was owing entirely to the destruc- | tive raios which swept all over the cotton coun- try in August, operativg on @ late spring, placing the growing crop in the utmost hazard of destruction; fine weather, which set in at that time, and which con'!i ued for three months afterwards, giving the assurance of a large yield, and the failures which oocurred in October in Evgland, gave the finishing blow to prices on this side, and they now rule 6 to 5}¢ cents lower than the last speculative point, and at which they are deemed so un safe that exporters are entirely out of market. The small stock in this city, and the wants of the East- ern mills, will tend t> keep up prices here for two or three weeks, but not longer. In its proper place, we give the best statement we have yet received of the growth of the erop this season, and to which we invite the at- tention of our readers.

One of the most important moves that has yet beem made on the political chess-board, is foreshadowed in & correspondence that appears In the Washington Union of Thursday evening, between Mr. Cass and several members of Congress, in relation to th f,the Wil- mot proviso, and the settlement of the slavery question, in territory hereafter to be acquired by the Uaited States. Mr. Cass’s letter ip dated the 24th Deo. 1847, and is addressed to A, O. P, Nicholson, of Nashville, Tennessee. The request for ite publication is signed by J. Thompson, W. 8. Featherston, and H. 8. Foote, o Missiestppi;-W. W. Wick and John L, Robinson, of !n- diana ; Daniel S. Dickinson, of New York ; A. B. Vema- blo, of North Carolina ; Howell Cobb, of Georgia ; Thos. J. Turner, of Illinois, and Wn. Sawyer, of Ohio. Each of these gentlemen may, therefore, be regarded as sup- porters of Mr. C claims for the Presidency. That this movement is @ pre concerted one, there can be no doubt. It has been in contemplation for more tham three weeks, although it has been kept so close it did not leak out before Thursday. Mr. Case declares himself opposed to the proviso and in favor of the war and of the principle of territorial in- demity. On thi ery question he goes farther than Mr. Calhoun himself. Mr. Buchanan opposed the Wil- mot proviso and advecated the extension of the Mis. souri compromise. Mr. Dallas bid o little higher than always to convey moderate estimates, and therefore pre- fer that of 2,330,000 bales; but if prices rule over six cents at New Orleans for middling cotton, we should not be surprised if that amount was reached, From iet- ters we have seen, we believe that Red River, which is navigable for steamboats for 1100 miles, through rich and new cotton lands, will turn out 30,000 bales more for Louisiana than we have estimated--me%ing in the ag- gregate, tae extent of our highest estimate in any reasca- able contingency. ‘The annexed table exhibits the quotations for bread- etuffa in this market, on the firat of each month in the present year :— Quotations ron Breapsturrs ix THIS ManKer.

The demand for our breadstuffs was comparatively mo- derate until about the close of January, and the ship- ments, until that time, had been limited. Reports of the deficiency in the harvests of Great Britain and Ire- land, reached usin February and March, of a nature caloulated to stimulate speculation, and holders of flour and grain in all the markets of this country, advanced their pretensions, and commenced extensive shipments. Ordersfrom England and France came out about that time in great numbers, snd prices became inflated to a greater extent than had been known for years. The in our financial and commercial affairs, the market price of these stocks would range several per cent above those now ruling. Government stocks are depress. ed by the stringency in the money market, by the amount already in existence, and by the probability of ® large amount of Treasury notes being soon offered for sale on government account. The wants of the general government are increasing daily, and as there is no limit to the public expenditures, capitalists are cau- tious how they employ their means. They wish to hold themselves in readiness for any emergency, and there is ery probability of the government being in a tight place beféfe it gets all the money it wants.

This shows an excess of imports for the year, of $3,788,- 444. The movement has been just reversed since last May. The exports in November and Decem- ber were about as large as the imports in February and March, and should the shipments continue through Jan uary and February of 1848, as large as they have been during the past two months, the above balance will be completely drained. The above table merely shows the extent of the exportation to foreign porte; it does not include any shipments to Mexico, it gites us no idea of the immense amount already sent to the army in that ection, The external drain for the regulation of balan- oes of trade and exchanges only is exhibited in theabove statement. According to these returns, the drain has Just commenced. The first indications were visible in September, when the sxports exceeded the imports more than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and the exoees of exports over imports has since increased with great rapidity. The market opened at the commencement of the year with @ moderate stook, and a speculative feeling, grow- ing out of confidence in the smaller estimates of the crop, then having its effect on the public mind here and in England; during th» month, holders offered buyers greater facilities in the taking of cotton, and the custom of delivery and payment in seven or ten days, was thrown aside, and thirty days was the currently acoepted time. This gave those disposed to speculate a great advantage, as they were enabled to handle large parcels of cotton with «small amount of means. Prices rapidly rose poder this unnatural state of thin; porters having retired from market, leaving the fleld city banks Bre the safest bank issues to keep, as | clear to this class of speculators, sq, that about the 3d iT Henry Clay’s great specoh on the war question | they oan be turned imto gold and sliver at February, the outside quotations, above quoted, were wb paoket of the 9th of May, from Liverpool, which arrived at Boston the first week in June, brought accounts of the most favorable nature regarding prices for corn in England, catsing the most intense excitement in our markets, and the most rapid advance in quotations; prices at that time reached their maximum. The reac- tion commeneed soon after, and the news reached usin August, of the commencement of the revulsion in the financial and commercial affairs of the United Kingdom. From that time to the close of November, the decline in prices was as rapid as the advance had previously been. Since that time, the English markets have been very much depressed, aud the shipments from this side have only been to a moderate extent. Prices here now range too high for shipment. There aro large orders in this sours? but they are limited in rates, and cannot be filled at the ruling quotations in our markets. Our do- mestic demand sustains prides, however, very firmly, and we cannot supply a very active demand for shipment.

Mr. Cass bids higher still, by stating his conviction that not only have new States the right to determine on the question of slavery within their borders, but that Con- gress haa no right even to legislate for territories. In support of this position, he ia obliged to question tha ugnatitutionality of the ordinance of 1787, and conse- quentiy to deny the right of Congress to legislate for territories at aii ‘> aught that copoerns their domestic regulations. ™ PN x We learn that there hus been # coalition between tha felends of Mr. Cass and those of Mr Dallas. It is said, on unquestionable authority, that Mr. Dallas has consented to be placed on the Cass ticket as Vice President, This step haa been taken in consequence of the hopelessness of getting the vote of Pennsylvania for Mr. Dallas, and because the frieads of that gentleman prefer that he should remain Vice President, than be entirely excluded from participation in the government during the next administration. Mr. Dallas had no hope of the Pre- sidency, bat through the vote of Pennsylyania.— That vote will be given in convention for Mr. Bu- chanan; therefore, there is no hope for Mr. Dallas — But some southern men, desirous to compliment him for his casting vote on the tariff question, are willing to put him on Mr. Cuss’s ticket for the Vice Presidency, with the view of clearing the way for a Southern candidate for the Presidency in 1852 The South will then have the stronger claim—if the Presi- dent and Vice President, in 1848, be taken from the North. It is believed, by some, that Mr. Dallas has never arpired to the Presidency, but that his friends have used his name, in that connection, for the purpose of securing, by a timely compromise, a continuance in his present position. Thisoan scarcely be so, as some of his friends have been exceedingly active, andthe coall- tion with the Cass party is said to have been produced, in some measure by the feeling of rivalry between the former and the supporters of Mr. Buchanan in Pennsy!- Vania. Mr. Cass’s letter, then, viewed as the crowning act of this coalition, is very important. It is more Southera in tone than even the tone of Southern men themselves. It scouts at all compromise of the sluvery question, and is more antagonistic to Mr. Bucbanan’s views than Mr. Dallas’s Pitteburgh speech, in which he sketched a coat of arms for that thriving and smoky city. All the ultra Southern men will range themselves under Mr. Casa’s banner, aud the Dallas men in Pe ania will tranfer to him their sweet voices, pitching them an octave lower for their own favorite. But it is easy to forsee that the Wilmot provieo men will be terribly indignant against Mr. Cars—the more that he was formerly an advocate of their doctrina They will now, in all probability, ix upon Mr. Buchanan as their choice, as the iriends of Mr. Van Buren disclaim all ides of running bim again. This movement will csuae a good deal of excitement in Pennsylvania. Mr. Dallas retires ircm the contest, and throws all his strenght into Mr. Case’s scale, the friends of the latter egreemg to place Mr. Dallas’s name on the ticket for Vice President. Mr. Cass’s renuncia- tion of the Wilmot proviso doctrine will also cause a sensation, At the first session of the last Congress, be voted, we believe, for the proviso. Last session he op- posed it, not on its merits, but on the ground of expedt ency. It speaks well for the progress of truth that Mr Cass has at length seen that ioeasure in its true light, and that he is now 20 fully convinced of ite evil tenaen- oy, that he denounces it as dangerous and unconstitu - tional. The Presidential game has fairly commenced. Wasninaron, Deo. 29, 1847, Commerce and Navigation of the United Siates.
