The stock market, during the past week, has been exceediagly quist. Prices remain about the same as thogo current the week previous, and we see no- thing in the perspective caloulated to elevate or ds- press prices to any extent, The shipments of specie do not abate, but the drain steadily continues, and the amount taken from this city, within the past two weeks, averages nearly one hundred thousand dollars per day. At this rate, it is very easy to caleulate how soon ou, bauks will be upon the verge of suspension, and wo at present no probability of the foreign demand for our precious metals ceasing. In view of these facts, it is not diffisult to tell what will be the state of the money market, andthe state of prices for stocks of all kinds, for some time to come. There is no doubt, in the minds of all ecquainted with financial and commercial affairs, but that the present is an unnatural state of things; that every thing connected with trade and com- meres is deranged; and no one can tell where these dificultios.are to end. If the drain of specie was merely to satisfy a foreign demand, growing out of the operations of trade, there would be no cause for alarm or apprehension, as the evil would work ‘out its own remedy. We should, in that case, bo more benefitted by @ transfer of the specie from the vaults of our bauks to those of the Bank of England, by the improvement in the value of our principal staple products in the markets of Great Britain, and the ship ments of specie would be rather beneficial than other- wise. But the drain of specie is not confined to that demand alone; a more dangerous demand existe; andasit is inno way connected with commercial matters, it is not subject to the laws of trade, and is, therefore, be- youd the control of the commercial elesses. Weallude tothe demand growing out of the expenditures on ac- count of the war, and the unlimited’ +xtent of the drain from that source. We know not where these de- mands will stop. It ia at present likely to continue for years, and unless something is done to stop the drain of specie by degrees, we shell soon find g sudden stoppage put to it by a suspension of the banks, at atime when the government least expects it, or is prepared for it. It would not be good policy for the government to wait until the banks refused to pay rpecie eny longer, before it make sueh changes in its finsncial policy as-ciroumstances already point out as necersary, as it may in that event be compelled to adopt such measures,whioh it might avoid, ifthe diffoulty were boldly met in the earlier stages. The government is all powerfal, and in ordinary times its financial policy re- gulates the movements of the banks in every section of the country, and establishes the value of the currency; Dut the government is, after all, in the power of the banks, 60 far as the movements of specie are concerned ‘What would the government do for specie—what would be tho use of the specie clause in the independent trea- fury ac:—in the event of the banks throughout the country suspending specie payments? The government could neither collect its dues or make its expenditures in gold and silver, and such modifications would have to be made in the treasury act as would meet the exigen. eles of thetime. Should a suspension of specie pay ments be forced-upon the banks, there would be very little movement in the precious metals held by the banks; and it something was not done at once by the go. yernment, the wheels of commerce would cease to rev volve, and we should be in the midst of curious times.— All this is by no meaus improbable; the times are cer- taloly pointing to auch a state of things, and it would be ‘well (o prepare for any emergency. ‘With all these thinge weighing upon the market, prices for stocks cannot be otherwise than depressed — Although quotations range several per cent below points they bare reached at any time within the past two years, and most of the stocks in the list are now selling much Delow their real value, there is yet a margin fora fur- ther decline, uhder the circumstances connected with financial mattere’ The most able financiers have failed fn finding xremody for this state of things, and they deem it wost prudent to stand aleof and place them- selves in @ position to look calmly upon the changes which a few months must produce. Sveurities of every kind, from trearury notes down to Morris Canal, mus; fall, until the turning point is reached; but whether are- ketlon will be produced by a oessation of the demand for specie, or by a suspension of specie payments, isas yet 8 matter of much doubt and uncertainty. The prospect at present, is decidedly in favor of a suspension ; and sueh am event may bs nearor at Rend than is generally imagined. Noone knows how much specie thers isin he vaulie of the banks of this city; sinee the last quar- terly report, four and a half millions of dollars in specie have been shipped from this port, being more than one- half of the total amount they held on the Ist of Novem- ber last, avd if as much more should go, within the next two months and « half, there would be considerable thaking among the empty boxes in the stone palaces ef ‘Wait street.

Itap- pears that by law, the dividends are payable on the let of January and Ist of July, in each year; three semi- annual dividends bave already been made-—the lst in July, 1846, of $323; the second in January, 1947, of $3 83, and the third on the Ist of July, 1947, of $7, all of which were paid on the coupon of January let, 1842 The first two payments were the proceeds of a tax of one mill upon the taxable property of the State, and the third payment was in part of the proceeds of a tax of oae and a half mill upon the taxable property of the State obrese, 1903 Ibs; 1,863 Ibe; tallow, 6,489 pens, 100 26 puncheons; meal, Vos; flour, 525 bbls} will amount to $120500; of this amount, $65,500 were received and divided between the holders of $9,270,000 of the bonds of the State, equal to $7 upon a bond of $1000. The remainder of the amount, say $56,000, is to constitute the fund for the payment of the fourth, or present January dividend; but the Legislature of Illinois, at its last session, passed an act directing the Governor to issue bonda to the holders of certificates of indebtedness, formerly issued by the State for internal improvements, and for the construction of the canal, which bonds should bear interest from the date of the certificates, and be entitled to shars pro rata in the pro- \s of the millanda half tax. The amouat of these bonds is not known here, but an account of them is daily expected from the Governor, whea the amount which may be received,can be apportioned and paid to the holders of all the bonds of the State, excepting those to Macallister & Stebbins. The amount of money already received, is less than $22,000, but as soon as theamount of bonds is known, upon which the $55,000 is to be paid, the apportionment will be made, and the,payments com- menced by the agent of the State, at the American Ex- change Ban! The fousth dividend will be less than the third, for two reasons: First, more than one half of the proceeds of the tax was remitted and appropriated to the payment of the third dividend ; and second, the issues of bonds in 1817, are to be added to those upon which the third dividend was paid. The $65,000 would pay a dividend of less than six dollars on each bond, provided there was no increase in amount of bonds since the third di- vidend was paid; butas that amount will be increased, the dividend, of course, will be less, but how much less wearenot at present able to tell. The bondholders will see that the amount of the present dividend is not because ILinois is not doing all she promised to do, but forthe satisfactory rearons above given. There is now no doubt bat that the Illinois and Michigan caval will be ready for us pavigation in ti tant work, and the proceeds of th next August, will reduce the indebtedness of the State rapidiy, and enable the T'reasury'to pay larger dividends more essily than those now puid from the taxon the property of the State, Stock as RS $1500 Treas Notes 6's (50shs 830 25% 1000 do. 98% 100 Mon aN 98) 59 Caaton 28 Me 97 100 do. 30 2855 Bt 25 Nor & Wor b30 36 Ox 50 do EIS "4 1500 Ohio Se Wt 175 do 3595 5000 Penn 70 8 Utica RR 118 5000 do 32070 50 Long Island bib 25: $000 do b60 70 da 2% 3000 do bso HH 76EieRR £3 150 do 69's 2 do Scrip 16% 5000 Reading Bds , 613g 350 Harlem 39 do b39 64, 50 do do bev 65 655 do do 6 50 do 5000 Readg Mtg Bds 10 shs Manhattan Bk 1000 U 8 6's 62 5000 do 62 5000 Treas Notes 's 5000 Reading Bonds 100shs Reading RR New Stock ®xchange. 150 ahs Harlem RR 255.0 Nor & Wor RA c 36 20 do do ‘D3 36 50 do ba 35 100 lo 250 do nd bow 2539 200 do RR 830 58 $@ Farm Loan io 58 lo ClUrY TRADE REPORT. New Yor, Saturday Afternoon, Jan. 15, 1848, ‘The flour market continued without animation. and sales were made ton mederate extent, including lots of Oswego and Michigan, with small parcels of Ohio and Brooklya, at about previous prices. Inthe absence of the steamer’s news, now due, dealers were indispored to enter the market freely. Prices were considered to be still above the views of exporters, and bei y large transactions can likely take place for export, the next accounts from abroad must prove more favorable, or some conressions will be required by those holding or- ders previously received.

Later,when the new orop be- gan to pour into this market, it became known that the Freoch contractors, had paid the forfeiture, and although the receiots in New Orleans were increasing, prices rose rapidly, bigher than they have been since 1839. which state of affairs continued until the middle of Octoher, when prices began to rettle down, Some of the speculators having disposed of their stock, did not find it suitable to their interests to keep up erroneo impressions any longer, and at the end of December, we quote pretty uear the same rates as at the end of April, with the difference that low grades are rather a little dearer nuw. As for the next year, we may expect mid- dle prices te rule the market, probably from 3 to 7 cents, and it is not likely that we shall exceed this rate, the re- ported small crop notwithstanding.

The crop of 1847 yielded about 2500 cases, which will not sufficiently supply our manufacturers, in consequenee of whioh, prices will rvla high during the whole season. Pennrylvania Seed Leaf — Instead of 6000 oases of the crop of 1846, we only hi 3500 cases of that of 1847.

Trist—General Scott's Recall—The Court Martial. The pertiaacity of Mr. Tristin remaining in Mexico after the receipt of his peremptory recall, has excited the surprise and by no means the ap- Probation of this government. His stay is ren- | dered the more extraord‘nary by the private cir- | cumstances attending his recall. He is now act- ing altogether indeorndently of his instructions, as well as of the sanction of his government. His mission has been most unfortunate through- ent, and not the lesst unfortunate feature in it, is his perseverance in remaining near the Meat. ean government, aft-r all reasonable prospect of successtul negotiation has ceased, in disobedi- ence to the commend of his government and | to the great prejudice of the interests he was sentto care for. The Mexicans, asI have ul- | rendy stated, have begun to disbelieve the story | of bis reeail, and to regard it as an expedient to foree them to epeedy terms Tne prevalence of | this beef wil create a feeling more hostile to peace than would oth+rwise exist; and these evil consequences will r-sult from Mr. Trisv’a desire to vindieste the President’s selection of himself as commissioner. It is consolatory to reflect, however, that things can scarcely take a darker complexion in Mexico, in regard to peace with that courtry, than they have already assumed, and Mr. Trist’s powers having been totally revoked, that gentleman can do very little lusting harm f p Geueral Scott's recall will create much excite- mrnt, and possibly may do him good s-rvice among his political friends. A messenger left here on Thursday morning charged with des- patches containing his recall. The command, as Ihave before intimated, devolves on Gen. But- ler, and will be suffered to remain, for the present, in hie hands. He will be charged with the necessary operations for the further pacifica- tion of the country, end the execution of suc! measures as will be best calculated to furnish our government the largest possible amount of revenue. . The court martial to try the officers reported to have been under arrest, at the last advices, willtake place at Perote. Ga.vignsis. Wasminaton, Jan, 15, 1848. A Saturday Rigmarole. We should like to know what Old Bullion is about. The court martial has kept him out of the Senate, but we reckon that afier the defence of Lieut. Col. Fremont, (some 300 pages foola- cap) is read to the court next week, the old Col. will make a demonstration of some sort among the decemvirs. We should like to hear his ex- position on the war question, and probably we shall hear it. It is quite likely we shall have another pass between him and Mr. Calhoun; and, furthermore, as the organ of Secretary Marcy, Gen. Cass would do well to fortify him- self sgainst a statistical and geographical on- slaught from the “Great Missourium.” Col. Benton surrendered the post on military affairs with some object ia view, and [rom some griev- ous provocation. The provocation, we take it, was the heavy indictment from the war office against Lt. Col, Fremont—the object in view was to be at perfect liberty to retaliate at *discretion’ upon the Secretary of War. We all know that Mr. Benton belongs to the Barnburners, and that Seeretary Marcy is of the old Honkers. In disgusting the Senator from Missouri with the care ot the affrirs of the War of- fice, Mr. Marcy onght not to congratulate Mr. tration, aud tht we will stand by cur country in what we con- | cersand soldiers, whether regulars of volunteers, who wiil i needi . nd hoao ab e warfare, urge" upon us br inevit- | successfully eaccunter the eu- my wherever met, and in what- eee ono), Sheedy We He be got a able necessity, till uli iademnty shall have been received for | ever numbers, and achieve an unbroken seviesofvicvories, nn | OC IM. an) ag an old ucker in his gives. from like sggressious for | equalied in the annals. of war, and characterized by a hu-| place. He may find out that it is far better d all those who advise the with- | maaity to the vanquished which will forever command the | to coax than te drive Old Bullion. The course of Mr. Benton will go far to determine the ac- tion of the Senate upon the war bills. If he sides with Mr. Calhoun, the administration is prostrated with its policy—if he sides with Gen.

It may_be some time before we shall hear from him.” Meantime, we take it, he has had enough of this war, and we should not be surprised were he to propose inthe Senate a joint resolution, authorising the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Se- nate, to appoint a board of special commissioners to proceed to the government of Mexico, with full powers to conclude a chapter of treaty stipu- lations. . r What a beautiful bison | for the diplomatie port of Pacificator Lieutenaat-General. We believe that such a commission would succeed, and that it would be a generous and magnani- mous proceeding. 2 Senator Westcott is ‘ mighty uncertain.” He begins to be an urgent advocate fora \igorous | prosecution of the war, and yet it is hard to de- cide whether his object in this is to sustain the administration, or to break it down, by giving \itall the rope that may be asked. Whenever * | the Senator from Florida, with the queur, takes sides for or against ahy measure, we are apt to suspect that there is a trick at the bottom of his «pparently overflowing sincerity; still, we be- lieve, that if his vote would bring us an honor ble peace with Mexico, short ot the re-anaex | joa of the whole republic, he would give it, if for no other reason, merely to spite Robert J. Walker and Father Ritchie, We are here reminded of the story of the sad- | dler. A principal clerk in the State D-partment | employed a fellow “ counthryman” ot his, living | inthis city, to make certain trunks for the De- partment, to be used in the transportation of pro- | grammes of peace, and such like, to Mexico. | The trunk maker was something of a caustic writer »gainst the war in certain newspapers. or against the administration, more particuler'y, jor the mode of bringing on and carrying on the war. Perhaps the Clerk thought that the job | of the trunks wouid soothe him dowa a little; but the harness-man, after working upon | the trunks all day, still kept up the old game of | writinga letter against the cabinet, in the even- ing. It hed become a pastime with him, and he could no more give up pen, ink, and p1per, thea he could abanden his implements of trunk, sad- - | dle, and harness making. Finding the recipient of the sop insolvable, the job of the trunks was tsken away from him, and, arrange to say, given over toa whig; but to a whig who does not trouble himself with unnecessary inquisitiveness in the | polities of the day, and thus endeth the affair of | the State Department, vs. the letter writing trunk manufacturer. General Pierce, and Major McCullough, of the Texas rangers, came inlastevening.

Benton—Their Squab- ble— The End not Yet,” §e. When General Kearny published his ecard, a few days ago, denying as “false” the assertion of Colonel Benton, that he ‘ looked” at the witness ‘‘until his eyes fell upon the floor,” the sons of chivalry were encou- ‘raged to anticipate a fight at Bladensburg, where our militia ran away from the Britishers during the last war with England. As General Kearny has a copper-seabbarded sabre dangling at his side, it was directly concluded he would | prefer that weapon for the duello, and that Colo- nel Benton would rather have the pistol. But as the Colonel would be the challenging party, of course be would have to take the dragoon’s cheese knife. A week nearly has passed, and | these two gentlemen are still alive! No chi lenge hus passed; and neither of them has sent to give his final accounts in the land where there are no courts bpd, nor, ag Father Collins says, ‘any such sort of thin, we have Yeavon to know, Golonel Bento not fight a duel. He said so two months ago, wheu he was not in danger of a * flare up” with Kearny. The reason he assigned for the av ance of such a rencontre was his age. He must be at least sixty; bat he is by no means iofirm. He isas persevering in what he undertakes as the lover in pursuit of his mistress, and can undergo ae much or more fatigue of body and mind than any other legislator. And did he not last year want to go to Mexico as a Lieutenant General, to fight, wot one man, but against nine millions ot | people, if necessary? This shows he no coward.
