The News over the Wires, In consequence of a break in the Southern telegragh, our electric news to-day is not as full as it generally is The proceedings in our State Legislature, yesterday, were very interesting. {t will be seen, from a condensed report of them in another column, that the House concurred in the nomination of Mr. Hawley as Commissioner of the Code, in place of Mr. Collier, resigned Several important measures were introduced and acted upon, as will be seen by reference to the telegraphic report. Our readers will, no doubt, be disappointed in not seeing the con- gressional proceedings from Washington, as the debate on the ten regiment bill was doubtless continued in the Senate. Our advices from Vera Cruz are to the thirtieth of December, at which time a train was on the point of starting for the capital. General Cush- ing’s brigade, with five pieces of artillery and eighty wagons, had marched on an expedition, destined, it was supposed, to San Angel. The news from Caanda 16 extremely interest- ing and important. The result of the election in Montreal was favorable to the liberals, who car- ried every ward in the city by a large majority. A disgraceful scene of riot and disorder occur- red, and for two days the city was in the posses- sion of the mob. his is only the beginning of the end in Canadian affairs. ‘She Foreign News. The Cunard steamship Cambria, Capt. Harri- son, arrived at this port last evening, after a pas- sage of a little over seventeen days. She, to- gether with the Missouri, arrived yesterday, brings twelve days later news from the old world, which will be found at length in the columns of thisday’s paper. Assoon as the Cambria appeared in sight, the citizens of Jersey City saluted her with a dis- eharge of artillery ; but it was not until a long time had elapsed that the passengers were able to leave her, ‘or that she was made fast to the deck, in consequence of the prevalence of a strong wind, which made the warping of her by the crew, a troublesome and protracted labor. Her arrival at Jersey City was hailed with great pleasure by the people of that place, who testified their gratification in every way possible. Weare indebted to Silas E. Burroughs, Esq., one of her passengers, for an interesting sketch of the voyage, which will be found in another column; to Mr. J. I. McKilvie, the gentlemanly purser of the C., for his kindness to us; also, to Edward Cunard, Esq, her energetic agent. Indeed, to all those attached to the ship. The commercial news is ot importance. Cot- ton remains the same as it was at the last ac- counts. The quotations tor the week ending December 24th, were en eigath to a quarter lower ; but on the Saturday following, they ral- lied to the same amount—leaving the price as it was at the sailing of the Caledonia. That staple has reached a point within three-eighths or a half, as low as it was ever known to be. The advices from the manvfacturing dis- tricts, though not of a very buoyant char- acter, are yet a little more encouraging. More mills have been obliged to stop working. The money market was easier, and the rate of interest was reduced by the Bank of England to five per cent, and private bankers were discount- | ing paper at half and one per cent lower. The corn market has slightly improved, and | prices are a little higher. Quotations will be found in another column. The English government has appointed a com- mittee to inquire into the state of the West In- dia Colonies. The details ofthe news are given in this day’s paper. ARRIVAL oF TRE FreNcu Steamer Missovri— Tue Contempiatsp RE-ORGANIZATION OF THE Ianz.—The French mail steamship Missouri, Capt. Morin, arrived yesterday afternoon, at one o'clock, from Havre, by the way of Halifax. She sailed from Havre on the 23d ult., at eleven o’clock in the morning. She experienced a series of tremendous gales on her passage; and it appears, from the intelli- gence received from the officers, that from the 27th of December to the 10th inst, she had not **an instant of repose, being either up the moun- tains or down in the deep valleys of the ocean.” On the Ist of January, it appears that the storm and tempest was so strong as to mare the efforts of the engineers of little avail. On the 12th inst.» Captain Morin being apprehensive that the coa might give out, decided to put into Halifax, and did so on the 13th inst., at eight in the morning. After having taken on board 200 tons of coal, he Missouri left Halifax on the 15th inst., at 11 A.M., and arrived in view of Fire Island yester- day morning, at four o’clock, and waited for a pilot, whom she took at eight o’clock, and arriv- ed safely in the Bay at twelve o'clock, having been only sixty hours from Halifax to New York. We learn from the officers of the Missouri, that the surgeon, M. Poirson, of the steamer Union, met with a very serious accident during | the last unfortunate attempt of this noble steamer to cross the Atlantic. He had two ribs broken | by the falling of a spar; and M. Laine, the first lieutenant, was severely injured on the head. We received by the Missouri private corres- pondence, which contains very bad accounts of the present etate of the company, M. M. He- rou't and de Handel. It is known publicly in Paris, that this company has spent nearly the last cent furnished by the share holders, in the unfortunate trips of the four steamers, Union, Philadelphia, Missouri, and New York. Two millions of francs, including the six hundred housand left 1n the government’s hands, as a se- | York; and it often ocours that the onl curity for ite four cteam frigates, which money will be kept tll new arrangements are made, | have been expended in this enterprise | In this state of affairs, the company Heroult and de Handel, are obliged to stop any further trips to New York ; but e between France and the United States is not given up, on the contrary, it will resume early next spring. M. M. Heroult and de Handel, have petitioned the government, demanding, with justice, to be re- warded for their first efforts, with the granting the continuation of the enterprize. Accordingly, the French government will re-arrange the line, and pay M. M. H. and de H. acertain sum per annum, in addition to the use of the steamers. This would be but justice, and we hope it will be done, Several commercial houses in Havre, have, also, petitioned to obtain the concession to the transatlantic company. We shall mention M. M. Cor, Palm & Co., associated with many other rich merchants, who offerfull guaranty to the government. The four French steamers would, it was said, go immediately into the docks, and be thoroughly repaired; new cabins, new arrangements, will be made ;_and beside all this, new furnaces will be put in, in order to give each steamer a strength of 600 horse power, instead of 450, which they. now have. The engines want no.other additional force, for they are strongly cast, and able to give any impulsion required by the steam. The per- sonel of the steamers will be also improved ; and it is undersiood in Havre, thata new egency will be opened here, or rather, the steamers will be sent to an American consignee. This will be quite an improvement, and will attract numerous patrons,to the French steamships. We hope M. M. Heroult, and de Handel will obtain the claim they have presented to the French ministry, and resume a new campaign, more profitable to them than the first. If the misfortunes of the first turn out to be a good lesson tor the future, perhaps nothing is lost but the two millions of francs. M M. H. and de H. are very worthy men; they have tact and enter- prise, and deserve success; they have had too much to contend against in the organization of their line of steamers. Tus Jews 1n Enctanp.—We give, in another column, the last of a very curious debate in the British House of Commons, relating to the ad_ mission of the Jews as members of that body. It was brought by the Washington, yesterday, from Southampton. By the vote at the conclusion of this debate, it will be seen that the Prime Minister has carried his project by the large majority of 67. A bill will be brought in at the proper time, and will receive its second reading onthe 7th Feb- ruary, for the purpose of giving admission to Jews into the House of Commons. Of its suc- cess in the lower House, there is now no ques- tion; but its passage in the upper House is rather doubtful. Law acarnst Aputtery.—This law, which has passed the Assembly, will, we hope, soon pass the Senate. We expect, if it passes, that two-thirds of the Legislature will, under its operation, be sent to the penitentiary next year, instead of the places they now occupy. TueatricaLs.—We have received the article showing up the venality of the Courier & En- quirer and its operatic notices—but what is the use 2? The game is not worth the candle. Forgign Pargrs.—We are indebted to Liv- ingston, Wells & Co., fora copy of the London News, of the 1st inst. City Intelligence.

Psrerssvren, Jan. 18, 1848, The ship Cydele arrived at New Orleans on the 10th, with dates from Vera Cruz to the 30th ult. An army train was on the point of starting for the Mexican capital when she left. Dates are also received two days laters from the city of Mexico. General Cushing’s brigade, with five pieces of artillery and eighty wagons, had marched, as was supposed, for San Angel. The steamer J. R. Thompson arrived at New Orleans on the evening of the 11th inst. bringing dates from the Brazos to the 4th. She brings no news of importance from Gen. Wool’s head-quarters. Orders had been issued recounting the for- bearance hitherto exercised by the Amerians towards the Mexicans in the prosecution of the war, which forbearance had been returned by persecution and abuse. The order goes on to say, that all who countenance guerillas in any way, or fail to give notice of their whereabouts, if known, or pay tribute to them, shall be punish- ed with severity. The brig P. Soule arrived at New Orleans on the 11th inst., with dates trom Havana to 80th ult. The news is entirely unimportant. Canada Election—Success of the Liberals Riotsin Montreal_The City Overrun by a Mob. Aunany, January 18, 1848. We have dates from Montreal as late as the 18th instant. The various ward elections had been held, and liberals were elected by a large majority in every ward in the city. There has been a formidable riot in that city. The mob held possession of the place for two days. The weather was unusually cold, the thermometer being thirty degrees below zero. Appointment of Notaries Public. Ausany, Jan. 18, 1848.

AsotH A fire broke out, also, at half-past twelve o’clook, on Monday night, in the basement of house No. 67 Oliver street, occupied by several poor families. The building was considerably damaged, but we learn was fully cove by insarance.

Last night every tier of boxes at the Park was fliled completely, and a sp'endid time they had of it. We saw Mr. Stout g¢ ‘ough his grand two horse act, with that dear little fellow, Jesse ds. To at graceful little boy twining himself around the gigantic, and yet perfectly grageful form of Mr. Stout, afforded a great contrast; but the feats of the two together, surpass anything we ever saw. Now Jesse's little legs wre round Stout’a neck, and his head hanging down; again he recovers his natural position, and with a sweet little bow to the audience, strikes some other equally singular position, and all this, remember, while Stout 4 riding ontwo horses. In fact he must be seen to be sppreolated. The whole performances are splendid. Bowery Tnratar.—Thero was another tremendous house last night, and the new spectacle went off with the greatest smoothness; all the little jars which neces- sarily occur in this species of dramatie performance on the first evening, being smoothed dowa and avoided. ‘We must say that this is the most life-like military a] tacle we have ever seen, The scenery, particularly the first, giving a view of the famed, and to all, save Yan- kee prowess, impregnable castle of San Juan d’Ullua, and the American squadron, was really beautiful Ned, the independent member of the colored population, is a boris funny fellow, and the ehouts that follow the soene where the fat Padre on his donkey, and the terrified Mexican women, come in contact, are deafening. The impersonation of the various Generals, such 9s Scott, ‘orth, Twiugs, Shields, &9.. to us stay-at-home civi- lians, seemed excellent, combining digaity and amia- bility. 7 is one hero represented, however, who is now among us, Col. Burnett, and it is worth a visit to the Bowery, to see how well he is put onthe stage The piece is repeated this evening, and will, doubtless, have ‘an immense run. CuatHam Tueatas.—The benefit of Mr. O’Brien oame off at this theatre last night, andthe house was crowded to overflowing, as usual. Mrs. Wilkinson ap- peared as Pauline, in the Lady of Lyons,” which part she performed in a first rate style. Mrs. W. ina very popular actross, and not unwcrthily so. being possessed Of all the accomplishments requisite. The very popular little danacuse, Miss Deloraine, appeared in one of ber beautiful dances, which was encored She again ap- Pe d, bearing on her brow s beautiful wreath of flow- ers, thrown on the stugs by some admiring spectator.— Mr. Kemp, in his wonderful feats on the ball, was loudly applauded. The Model Artists drew their usual fuil fiom of applause, while the ‘Irish Tutor,” Mr. O’Brien as Dr. O'Toole, kept the house in an uproar of applause With the present attractions, Chatham is the place to go to. StzveaManxiscne Musica Society.—We were much pleased last evening, at beholding such a brilliant assem- blege of beauty and fashion at the Tabernacle—it speaks well for the taste and refinement of the age, as ja our opinion this band, comprising nineteen mosi- cians, may be considered, generally speaking, one of the sweetest and most harmonious we have ever listened to. The sound of their united melody is poured forth in such s touching, soft and refined manner, that its inspir- iting music is csloulated to wake the heart from the darkest dreams of sorrow. The power of music over the mind is wondertul—it issure to find an avenue to the inmost recesses of the heart, and give animation and liveliness to the human frame. “Friendship’s balmy words may feign, Love's are e’en more falee than they ; Oh! ’tis only musio’s strain Can sweetly soothe and not betray ‘The first piece in the progremme, “The Styrion’s Re- membrance of Home,” # grand march, by Guogl, wes executed with strict measurement of time, and great | | which are paid extravagant prices to accommodate the solentific skill.

The flasle of the first part from the opera of ‘the “Jewess,”” har forth some of those enchautiog sounds and perfeot mony for which this band is cele- brated. The next piece, Variations for the Fagotto, performed by Elto, was so sweetly executed. in moduls- tion of tone, and soft, thrilling touches, that every stave called forth the unanimous cheers of a delighted audi- ence. The Jubilee Quadritles were light and inspicitiog and Le Boyuet, Grand Pot Pourri was tho most beautiful combination of musical gems we ever heard—the rounds echoing. as it were, from fairy land, and gently deolining in euphonious harmony. The effect of this delightful composition might be seen in the cheerful faces of the musical dillitanti, and the cheers which fol- lowed almost every bar. Another elegant piece was the Reoruiter’s Walia, which contained such rare gems, and was given with such exquisite blending of half-tones, and in such lively time, that the hands and feet of the Sudience wersin musical motion We should like to see some of the fair at Castle Garden tripping along on the light fantastic toe, to the music of such animating, enchanting quadriiles. “Sounds from Home’ were plaigtive and thrilling, and were capable of rooalling the sweetest remembrances In fine, the softness, sweet- dy and unequolled harmony of this band, will remembered by those who had the pleasure of attending their concerts.

The feelings of mistrust, which have existed for some time in relation to the banks of New Jersey, have now nearly ceased. Doubts never should have been enter- tained of those banks, which are owned and m| citizens of New Jersey, for all such Jersey ban feotly solvent dividend payicg banks, In fact, the banks of Morris county, x county, and Sussex coun- ty, are as sound and responsible as the banks of the city of New York. The banks of New Jersev to which pub- He suspicion, both here and there, is very justly directed are those banks, which, although located in New Jersey, are solely owned, and wholly managsd and controlled, by individuals residing in Pennsylvania and New York. Tho Commissioners appointed to investigate and settle the affairs of the State Bank of Alabama snd branches, have recently made @ report to the Legis- lature of that State, and we regret to see that the pub- lic ftagnoes wear a very discouraging and gloomy aspect. Alabama has, so far, promptly and punotually paid every fraction of the interest on her debt; but it has been paid from the proceeds of the State Bank and branobes, in- ntewd of from taxation. The State Bank and branches are now In a state of liquidation, and from the reporte which havo from time to time been made, there is no doubt but that the bank will soon fail to meet the an- nual demands upon it for funds to pay the interest on the State debt, and that a direct tax will have to be levied and collected to meet this expenditure, or there will ho no way to avoid delinquency. [t would be ex- ceedingly unfortunate, should such an event take place, After the efforts which have buen made by those States which have for so many years been delinquent, to re- | ume the fall, or partial, payment of the interest on their debta, and the success several of them have mot In their exertions to do so, it would be particularly unfortunate thata State which has until now maiatained {ta posi- tion in the list of solvents, should be in danger of becom- | ing insolvent and swelling the list of delinquents. | ‘The people of Alabama may willingly submit to taxa- | tion for the purpose of preventing the deplorable con- | sequences, we have predicted; but there i¢ such an op- position in all States to this important feature in their | government, that we are prepared to sea such objections raised as will tend very much to depreciate the market value of the seeurities of that State, and injure its credit $4,030 in silver for East India, report, In consequence of the {mportant position ocoupled by the bank, relative tothe State debt and State credit, the condition of that institution and branches is a mat- ter of much {uterest; and every report is, therefore, much sought after by holders of Alabama bonds ‘The Com- missioners, 'n thelr resent report to the Legislature, say that the committees which have heretofore estimated the debt classed good, and the assets of every descrip- | tion bet dollars, have not been #0 aeourate as they might have | been from the sources of Information within their o-n- | trol. It appears that in reporting each debt, the oom- mittees mentioned the original amount of paper discount ed; no notice or account being made of partial payments which the books of the bank exhibited, had been made from time to time, Inconsequence of this oversight, or whatever it can be oailed, the assets of the bank hare been very much overrated, and {he ability of that instt- tution to meet the demands upon it from the State Treasury, greatly exaggerated. In many cases debts had been reported as due, which had, In part, been dis- charged. The followin, of collections made at each bank, from the date of the tatement exbibits theaggregate amount | | but we could not tracs it. | cele of this State at $3 1236 in the financial world. \¢ ing tothe banks, as worth some six millionso! | s, viding fer the liquidation payme! the baianes im hand, after 9 of the elpoulation aut Bann of 1 1847 Aggregate amount of collections made to Deo. | Two year 912 C00 Tio years interest on U 36.000 Two years interest ou | 160 660 Circolation redeemed. 1,148,823 2.289.893 0 Leaving a balance, Dee. Ist, 1 $117,150 58 If we deduct from this balance the outstanding circu lation on the Ist of Dee. 1847, of $457,177, there will be lett only $719,973. Brom the first balance of $1,177, 150 54, is to be deducted the amounts due to the severe! townships, required to + retained om hand by the act of February, 1546. ‘This will absorb nesrly the whole of this balance, leaving the outstanding clroulation to be liquidated by the proceeds of the remaining assets of the bank, It will be peroeived by this exhibit of the affairs of the State Bank and branches, that there fs nothing left of the collections already made, to be applied to the payment of the principal or interest of the domestie debt of the State, Tho domestic debt of the State amounts to $2,000,000, to pay which the State has only the outstanding sistas held by the bank, and the other assets of that institation and branches, which have been valued by the Commis- slonera at $2200,000, should that amount be roalised of whioh there is conriderabla doubt. ‘The balance left after redeeming the circulation outstanding on the let of December, 1847, would ba about $1,750,000, leaving » balance on the domestic debt, still due, of $260,000. The annual interest on the domestic debt is $100 000; and on the forvign debt $471,000, making a total expenditure for interest of $571,000, OF this only $200,000 is rnised by taxation, leaving 4 deficiency of $871000, In the event of the domestic debt being extinguished by the rematn- ing assets of tie bank, the deficiency will be reduced to $271,000, which will have to bo raised by additfonay taxation, which will swell the amount to be raised by taxos, to pny interest on the public debt, to $471 000—an increase of $271,000, es above stated, on the present emount.
