crowded to its utmost capacity —boxes and pit all filled, and the lobbies, too, for that matter; we have so often expreesed our admiration of this very admirable troupe, that we need not to-night particularize the various per- formers; but we must say, that those conundrums by the clown are capital—why @ married man is like & steambont, why lsdies have no beards, why the clown is like & chu nd many other equelly pussling questions, we refer our readers to the Park theatre this evening for an avswer. We must say, though, that Master Clown is rather hard on the fair sex. Boweny Tueatns —Mr. C. W. Clarke's benefit took place at the Bowery Theatre last evening, and we were glad to see the house crowded to overflowjpg on the occasion The receipts must have amounted to ahand some sum. Several favorites belonging to the late Park company, Mr. Barry, Mrs, Vernon, and Mra. Abbott, took part in the performances, all of which went ca with great éclat, ‘The performances commenced with the comedy of “Wild Oats, or the Strolling Gentle- man ;’ and in addition to the above ladies and gentle- my the Park company, Mr. Vache, Mr. Clarke, and Mr Burke, took part init. Our readers can form an idea of the admirable manner in which it was performed, and the treat which the audience enjoved. The drama of “Charlotte Temple,” and that of the “ Adopted Child,” were likewise performed. Cuatnam Tueares.—The petite comedy, “ Faint Heart never won Fair Lady,” was the first piece per- formed here last evening, which was acted in @ very creditable manner, and gave great satisfaction. The inimitable troupe of Model Artists then gave a variety of their ro.guificent groupings of statuary and pictures, which drew down repeated plaudits from all parts of the houre. Dr. Valentine apy din the “Yankee Law- er,? in which be kept the house in a contisued roar, n the character of Jacob Habeas Corpus, the lawyer. ‘We are glad to ree Mr. Fletcher’s endeavors to please the public so well appreciated as they are The house last evening was, as usual, very respectably filled. Crnisty’s MinstReLs —Dark faces and white teeth, good voiors, and singulerly comia conversations, aorgs, couundrums. Ke.. still reign triumphant at Mechanio’s Hall, The fact i, that the good people of the city do not seem to tire a bit in going to hear these rare fellows. They must be coining money, legitimately too—no finan- clering about them—it is allearned by right down good singing, snd their notes (to make a pun) are all secured, not by deporits of State atock, but by nightly instal- ments of the applause of their visiters. Cmevs—Bowrny AmruitHeatne.—Tryon and hia troupe are getting on nicely; bis equestrians and their horéos jump around the ring as handy and fresh as puch fine specimens of both man and horse ought to. The clowns, aud the Ethiopian Serenaders, Cole, the India rubber wan, with Wis legs tied in « how knot, and his arms in 9 fiat one, and the laughable pantcmine of “Juek Robinson and bis Monkey,” tic! the folks amazingly. Broapway Ovron.—Manager Greely is going, with both wind and tide in his favor, along the stream of popularity—he nightly presents ao most elegantenter- tainment to his visitera,and we are glad to see he has ery muny to appreciate bis tact. Concent Haun, Newanx —This evening, Mr. Stark. Jate ot the Park Thestre, takes a complimentary benefit. Bulwer’s admired play of the * Lady of Lyons,” and the iare# of * Raising the Wind,” are the pieces selected. in which the favorite actress Mrs. Abbott and Mrs ‘Verron. sustain the principal oharacters. Mr. Stark ia an exeeilent actor, and deserves a bumpe: The Vienneise children were to commence @ series of performances at the St. Charles, New Orleans, on the 26th of Deo. Mr Booth, the great bay ihyse left Cincinnati for New Orleans, in company with his son, on the 29th Deo.

The lower prices are reduced, the wider the margin for an improve- ment. Itis for the interest of these speculating poli- ticians and capitailsts to have the advance as rapid as possible, when it commences, to enable them to get out of the movement before it reaches an explosion, to enable them to realize in the early stages of the infla- tion. The whole machinery of the movement is ag much under their control ag a locomctive in the hands of a skilful enginecr, snd those not connected with those operations must patiently await the openiug of the ball, ‘There appears to be a lull in the panic relative to the issues of free banks of this State. The brokers redeem, at present, all the bills which are now considered good: at one and two per cent., being an advance of about one hundred and fifty per cent on the rates current previous to the recent explosions. We have shown the value of the aggregate amount of securities held by the Comp- troller for the redemption of the issues of the free banks, and proved conclusively that the bills are not worth, on the average, more than eighty to eighty-five cents on the dollar, While this is the average, there is » difference in the value of different bills. The issues of the free banks in the ejty are worth one hundred cents on the dollar while the issues of many of the country banks are not worth more than fifty and sixty cents on the dollar.— The avnexed olassification of the free banks of this State, will give some idea of the value of the issues, although only those which are secured by New York State 6’s and Vs are worth their face. It does not follow, that be- cause the deporites of any bank with the Comptroller are wholly in New York State stocks, that the issues of that bank are worth par, as many of the stocks of this State are selling at five and ten per cent below par.

In connection with the above classification of the free banks of this State,we give the last oMoial returns, show- ing the oondition of each. It will be observed that many of these banks hay large amount of specie on hand, while others have onlya few hundred dollars. The amount of specie held by many of these free banks, is sufllcient to make up the deficiency in the securities held by the Comptroller, while others have nothing to depend upon to redeem their bills but the securities with the Comptroller.

The arrival of this train has enlivened Vera Cruz to such an extent, that oue who had only seen it when it wours its usually dull appearance, would hardly recog- pise it asthe same city. The streets are thronged with the meaus of transportation for goods and the materials of war to the interior, while the sidewalks near the pub- lic offices are thronged with strangers, officers and sol dierg, preparing to embark for home. Col. Dominguez made his second grand entry into Vera Cruz about 2 o’clock to-day, but he brings no later dates from Mexico than those which you have no doubt. ere this receive It is reported tl Mr. Trist will reach here with an escort of cavalry, and he may bring dates from Mexico to the 16th November—one day later than has been received. By this command we may obtain something interest- ing and authentic reepecting the propositions which are reported to have been made by the Mexicans, to send commissioners to Havana to negotiate, although | huve no idea that even if such s propositi has been made that it will be carried out, as the latest accounts from Queretaro represent affairs as being in rather an uproar- ious condition. ‘be President’s message reached us yesterday by the ‘and created more interest than any docu- ment that has been received in Vera Cruz for a long time, and perhaps the Mexicans felt a deeper interest than the Americans, for they have # deeper interest in the future destiny of the country. Peoples, the enterprising editor of the American Star, who e from Mexico with the train, immediately char- tereds mustang and greaser to take it slong, and, as hir plana are well arranged, I have no doubt but that the good people of Mexico will read it in three days, Although the road from this to Mexico is now lined with troops, and ever7 advantegeous point permanently gurrisoned, the guerriileros continue to make their ap- Pearance occasionally, and yesterday they not ouly wounded Lieut.

Twiggs bas assumed the command of the de- partment with a good deal of energy, and he will no coubt make many changes inthe edministration of at- fairs in this department. I never saw the old general look better than he doesnow. The bush-hook has been to work, and the brush cut away irom under his chin, 50 that he can see his knees once more, and those fine fea- tures which have been eo longin obscurity are visible again. eCol, Wilson's departure appears to be a source of regret to all, and but few men will leave more sincere friends in Vera Cruz than he. | learn that he has ob- | tained leave of absence for a few weeks to visit his family, when he will return to assume commend of his regiment, which leaves in # few days for Mexico. He will take passage in the sloop of war Saratoga, in three or four days for Pensacols, where his family reside.

During the last few the actual reeults have been more favorable to the Treasury. than were anticipated by the estimates. Nct- withstanding the ex\raordipary floods, which occurred during the p the conrequent damage to the public works, he interruption of the trade upon them, for about two months, the tolls taken by the col- lectors, within the year, according to the report of the Canal Commissionra, amounted to the sum of $1,551,- 575 87, being $256,081 11, more than was takenin preceding year, and exceeded the estimate made for the jast year, near One hundevd thousand dollars. Had no unusual interruption of business occurred, the smouat taken would certainly have reached eighteen hundred thousand dollars the estimate of canal ard railroad tolls, for the cur- rent year, is seventeen hundred thousand doilars, which there is good reason to believe, is rather below then above the amount which will be received. Ths expenses of repairing the damages tothe public works, by the floods of the past year, will principally fail upon the eur- rent year. 7 are, however, included iu the estimate of the cxpenser of the year, aud will not effect the re- sults presented in the preceding caloulations ‘The amount of relief issues in circulation, on the first of December last, was eine hundred and thirty-one thousand six hucured aud sixty-four doliars, of which fifty Lhousand were canvelled at the Treasury, on Bist of Dec , leaving eight hundred and eighty one thou- sand six handred and sixty-four doilare, still ontstand- ing Tho means of the Treasary, it is believed, will be adequate to the cancellation of the whole amount now in circulation, withia the present and suceceding year.
