Moore our deep sense of the kind matleraanly bearing by which he has endeared himself to each and all of us during Led erty which ae pees terminated, Thatas regards the quall- fications of a seaman, we are quite aware that th mony ef landsmen is not commonly held of great ac- count; but thatin the course of our stormy passage we have had an opportunity of witnessing in Captain Moore the exhibition of an untiring vigilance in the discharge of his duties, together with great prudence and remark- ablo firmness and decision in critical circumstances, In such qualities men instinctively place confidenco, and tion in Clalpepe our con- jes 98 a seaman. tain Moore be requested t & diamond ring, as a slight token of the sincerity with which we convey to him this expresion of our senti- ments, (Signed) P.

Ifeell have only performed my duty towards you. You will please accept my thanks for the civility and compliment you have extended to.me,and my warm- est wishes for your future welfare. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, ‘WM. M. P. MOORE, City Intelligence. ‘Tue Weatnen.—Yesterday was a very pleasant day, being elear and mild. Though winter, it seems like early spring; every one seems inspired with mew vigor. ‘The thermometer stood :— 4) 12M. 6P.M. 1818, January 20th. 33 36 1847, * we hy 23 2 1845, re eter. a1 23 Viorations.— Notwithstanding a great numberof suits have been instituted by the corporation, for violations of city ordinances, there are yet almost thousands who utterly disregard the 8, and keep the sidewalks ob- structed by barrels, boxes, hand-carts, and almost every thing else that will obstruct. In Centre street, on thi east side, it is next to impossible in many ct to pal along, asis also the oase in the upper end of Chatham street. Itiemade the duty of the police to report all such violations, and upen the issuing of the order, » great number: were presented. At this time the nui- sance seems to be greater than before, and no notice whater at least, we should suppose so, from the fact that the nuisanoes are not abated. There is anot violation which seems to entirely unno- ticed, the opening of groggeries on the Sabbath. There are now more than two thousand in this city, which are regularly thrown open on the Sabbath, and some of them within thirty feet of some of the police courts, immediately under the eye of the proper officers; and yet no cognizance is taken of them. Exrension or Cana Strert.—Another movement having been started in favor of extending Canal street, from its eastern terminus in Centre street to the heed of Market strect,in East Broadway, » mesting of persons project was held last evening, at North American Hotel, tn tl were offered, expressing by every possible mean P f an act authorizing the proposed extension of tuis street.

Inmrrovements.—In noticing the various improvements wp town, wo discover that in the Eighteenth ward there aro, at least, two hundred new buildings now going up. On 4th avenues, between Thirtieth and Thirty-firet streets, there is a fine row of buildings just completed; while, on the opposite aide, and extending down Thir- tieth street, there are a number of houses intended for residences. ‘There are also @ great mavy very fine buildings on the north side; which make the improve- ments in that immediate vicinity more than an hundred percent above any other partof the city. The city is pushing northwardly, and in years we may expect to see Washington monument in the centre of the fs onable population. Cate or Mapame Resreti.—The Supreme Court gave their decision, yesterday, in the case of Madame Kestell, on the writ of error brought up from the Court of Sestions. ‘The application for a reversal of judgment was denied. 4n application was then made to take the case to the Court of Appeals. Funenat or Cart. Horr.—The funeral of Capt. Hoyt took place yesterday afternoon, at the Mariner’s church, when a very interesting and impressive discourse was delivered by the Rev.

Also, 107, to supply a deficiency in t je of the Sixth ward.

Me. Bosworrnt offered the report of the Special Com- mittee, containing the quarterly returns and expendi- tures of the different ward schools, Mr. Bleecker said he wos one of the committee, but hed not signed the report; he would have signed it, however, if he had been peesent He asked for some information relating to the report, which we could not distinctly hear, and went on to say he wished to have it referred back again; he thought it waa a partial report, and he wished to have it reconsidered and tho statistics of all the other schools included in it; he also w.shed that the committee would cail upon the ward officers to furnish them with full {a- formation on this subject. Mr. Boswortn suid he had no objections to have it sent baok, but he wished, ifit want back, that it would bea followed up by 9 resolution which would enable the committes to propare such a report as the Board expect- ed from them Mr. Brencewe said the resolution under which the report was mage, directed the committee to report for tno information of the Board the expenditure of the dif- feront word eehools, to aee if the expenditure of thepub- lio money could not be cheoked. As far as the report appropriation of expenses of the wont he agroed with it, hut he wished it to go muoh furcher, iu order that this Board might haye some guide in granting appropristions for school purposes in fucuce. ‘The report was sent back. . Hesolutions.—-Mr. Deny offered a resolution, requir- nm Council to deposit with the C the City, to the oredit of the Board, $10 tion of the Free Academy Mr. Biunenen wished to know for what purpose it was ited; he then went on to state that three or four sand dollars were alrendy expended in building & andation for the {reo academy; he heard it said out of reed in the opinion, that a foundation or eecured for the ereotion of @ build- unt thatthe committee might expend. Me Denny seid he belioved that the extra work would ceriataly comt between toree and four thourand dolla: ne had no doubt but a good foundation could be ing, for any an Uoecomen ald he was three or four timer at the building since it was commencad, and he believed he knew something about buildings; he had examined the foundation of the buildiog now in the courte of erec- tion. and he found i¢ bad sunk, in several placer, some three or four inches ; he was, therefore, of opinion at the Bourd should expend no more mousy in ball ing walls wulil it wae recertaiued whet : tion would apawer,or not. After rome fur sion the resolution was adopted, Vir Dewwy nexo offered another resolution, to the fol- lowing efleot :— That the Pregident and Clerk of the i be poriged to sigh Dille for contracts tor bulld- jag the free avademy, according ag they became due; whiol Waa adopted Two opprepriations, one for $804, end the other for .

Law In Cee Surreme Count, Jan. 20.—General Term —Present, Justices Strong, MoCoun, and Edwards —The People vs. Madame Reste(l.—After the Judges had taken their we on the bench this morning, Mr. Justice Strong pro- ceeded to give the judgment of the conrt in this case; he seid it came before them on 4 bill of exceptions taken by the prisoner’s counsel on the trial” ‘Thecase waa arzued before them with great ability by the cour sv] on both sides. But all that they are bound to decide is, whether there has been any injustice done to the defen- dent; whether any principle of law has been ruled against her so as that her case would be prejudiced. He sald that, although it may be the fact that some errors have commicted, it would not justify them in set- ting aside the conviction. It has been well remarked by counsel, that great faults have been committed by those who have been selected to edminister the law, that the: have given too ready an ear to points raised on not material to the case, and that sons have apes fro ¢ punishment due to tl erimes—this principle is at this time particularly appli- cable to the case under consideration. There is, too, astrozg public fouling ould jou inst the and m the people call loudly for her punishment. The 'y apprehension I feel, said his honor, is that it may be thought have yielded to that feeling; but, in coming to a decisionon this czse we have not allowed public sentiment fo interfere with us; we considered and decided it on its own merits. His honor then took up and disoussed the exceptious seriatim, and concluded by stating that it was the unanimous opiniom of the court thet the conviction was good. Jud, McCoun Edwards also delivered their opinions separately. ight hours were given to the prisoner’s counsel ‘epare an appeal, and take such otner proceedings as they might think necessary, before she was taken out of the custody of the sheriff, and handed over to the keeper of the city prison. Cracuir Count.—Before Judge Morse—The Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company vs. Childs—This cause was resumed yesterday, aud the defence opened. Three de- fences were set up: first, that a mew agreement was en- tered into between the parties, the terms of which were, that Mr. Childs should discontinue this chancery suit, and take no further action in relation to bringing the affairs of the bank before the Legislature. Defendant’s counsel insisted that the discontinuance of the chancery suit was good consideration, and that before the agree- ment was rescinded, the defendant should be placed in the same situation in regard to that suit as he was be- fore it was discontinued; that if there was anything im- moral in the thre: tiffs were particeps criminis, and are not entitled to re- lief. Seoondiy, the terms of the feement e not as plaintiffs’ counse! ted them to be; the defendant was not limited by time or circumstance to with plain- tiffs. Thirdly, that plaintiffs excee’ ed the power grant- ed to them by their charter, they being chartered as an insurance company, to make insurances on fire and ma- rine risks; aud sithough the charter was afterwards amended, by adding to it a power to receive money on trust and to execute such trusts, yet it did not authorize them to enter into banking operations. The jury found @ verdict for the plaintiffs tor $40,800 60. Aaron Wilcow vs. Solomon Parmelee.—'This was an action on the case, to,recover the value of a parcel of goods which the defendant undertook, as a common car- tier, to forward and deliver. Tho plaintiff is a mer- chant, and resides in Ohio. The defendant is owner of one of the lines for transporting goods from this city to the west. In August, 1845, the plaintiff came to this city and entered into a contract with defendant to for- ward all packages of goods, (which he, the plaintiff, would send to defendant’s store in this city.) acccrding to the directions marked on such packages, ee the autumn of that pa In the course of the fall, the Plaintiff wrote to his correspondent here to send him on several ‘chests of tea, s quantity of s and tobacco, amd directed the packsges tobe marked with bis, the plaintiff's, neme and address, with the addition of the word “steam,” which denoted that they were to be sent by steamboat to Painesville, on Lake Erie, the plaintiff's place of residence. Plaintiff alleges that’ the packages were marked as directed,and put on board one of de- fendant’s boats at the wharf here, and were sent to Buf- falo, where they were received by defendant's agent, and put on board one of the lake schooners, called the ‘-Ro- bert Granger,” instead of being sent by steam as directed. Shortly after leaving Buffalo, the schooner, together with her cargo, were lost. The plaintiff now insiste that de- fendant not baving sent the goods by steamboat, accord- ing to his instructions, he is liable for the loss. The case ig adjourned to this morning. For plaintiff, Mr. Noyes and Mr. Murrell. For defendant, Mr. Bradley. Usiten Statxs Commussionen’s Orrice, Jan, 19 — Before A.

The buoyancy noticed yesterday, has disap. peared, and things look pretty blue in the street. At the first board to-day, Harlem advanced \ per centi Canton {; Reading Railroad fell off }¢ per cent; Read- ing Bonds 4, and Illinois 6's 4. All others closed at prices ruling yesterday. The transactions were only to a moderate extent. The Saugerties Bank and the Bank of Cayuga Lake have gone by the board. Theagents here made every effort to save them, but the bills came in so rapidly that they had to stand from under, and let them go down.— The securities of the Saugerties Bank deposited with the Comptroller, amount to $64,474 of New York State 5's at par, and the ciroulation to $64,469. The bills are, therefore, worth dollar for dollar, the market price of New Ycrk 5’s, which is about 92 cents. The securities deposited by the Bank of Cayuga Lake, amount to $55,314, In New York State 5’s, and the olrculation to the same sum, These bills are also worth 92 cents on the dollar. It was reported in the street that the Bank of Ithaca had suspended. This is » safety fund bank, and ac- cording to the returns for the Ist of November, 1847, the line of loans amounted to $308,109; circulation, $194,- 761; specie, $7,305; and deposits, $57,190, ‘The Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, in the House of Representatives, has reported a bill providing for loan of eighteen millions of dollars.

The amount of specie on hand exceeded the circulation nearly six hundred thou- sand dollars, showing that the bank could redeem every dollar of its circulation, without touching any other of its assets than its specie. It is but a few years since this bank was ina very bad condition, its stock very much depreciated, and its affairs in confusion—its ciroulation restricted and in bad credit—and the concern weak in every department. Within these few years the bank has wonderfully improved, and it is now one of the strongest and best managed institutions in the south- west section of the country. The diffloulties of the past will have a very favorable influence upon the movements of the management for the future. The stockholders have every reason to be satisfied with the last report, and all they can hope for {s a continuation of them, ofa similar character. ‘The State Bank of Indiana appears to have done well during the past year.

On the llth Sept. the circulation had become reduced to £11,870,585° which was less than it had been for a long time previous, and on the 24th ult., with several millions of bullion more on hand than for the previous eight months, the actual circulation was about fifty thousand pounds less than the lowest point previously touched. From the first week in October to the last week in December, the bullion in the bank increased £3,647,490, and the circu- lation decreased in the same period £816,990. This ex- hibits a very rapid improvement in the most important departments of the bank, and shows a determina- tion on the part of the managers of that in- stitution to strengthen the concern in every way, preparatory to the movements anticipated in the commercial world. We observe in the above re- turns, that there has beens steady falling off in the “rent,”’ showing that sacrifices have been made to some extent, out of the profits of the bank, in increasing the supply of bullion 60 rapidly. This is net strange, when we take as an instance the fact that shipments of specie from this country have been made at an actual loss for several “months past; and it is very possible similar results have been realised on the receipts into the bank from other points The public and private deposits have increased largely, and t! in reserve has increased nearly four lions of pounds sterling since October last; and on the whole, the bank is nearly as strong as it ever was. The Bank of England must soon make use of the vast amoun’ of resources it is accumulating; it cannot long maintain the state of inactivity it has preserved so long, and there is no doubt but that in a few months there will be an up- ward movement in prices for every species of property, and a speculative movement in the great staple produc- tions of the world. The increase in private deposits is indicative of an imorease in the unemployed capital of the country, and operators of a speculative charac- ter will not remain idle, if there is any prospect of inflating any bubble, The great capitalists of Great Britain only wish to be satisfied that prices have touch- ed bottom; that there is no possibility, or even a proba- bility, of lower points being realized, and there will be a rush among the outsiders, or those who have no connec- tion with the Bank of England, or with the government, in the secret influences which are brought to bear upon the market, to get a good start—to get in at the com- mencement of the movement—no as to get out before another revulsion overtakes them. The year 1848 will experience great speculations, and, it is possible, an- other revulsion, A premature inflation in prices will assuredly lead to an explosion more fatal than that recently experienced. There must be many commer- cial establishments, in every part of Europe, very much weakened im credit and capital by their connections with suspended houses; and it will be necessary for them to be extremely cautious in their operations for a long time to come, or they will ultimately go the way of all bankrupts. Many of these concerns will require 4 great deal of patohing up, great deal cf nursing, to carry them through; and it would not surprise us mach to see failures, from time to time, after confidence becomes restored, and prosperity exists in all branches of busi- ness. ‘The Canal Banking Company of New Orleans, at tho last accounts, had been subjected to a drain of specie to e limited extent, From some trifling cause bill holders éxpertenced a panic, and for a short time there wes qaite s ran for speole, Ho far as the condition of the donk was opeormed, Abere woe not the alightert unde The estimated receipts of the treasury, for the fiscal year ending the 10th of October, 1848, including $19,269 23, which remained in it on the 10th of October, 1847, amount to $407,621 93 ; and it is supposed that the de- mands upon the treasury, for the same year, will amount to $386,573 03.

New Yorx, Tuunspay Arrernoon, Jan. 20, There was rather more doing in flour to-day, but on terms which indicated very little change in prices, com- with those current previous to the val of th~, news. The sales were chiefly confined to lots of Oswegol with mixed parcels of NewOrleans, including some smal. lots of Genesee, on which about 6!4 centa more was obq tained in some instances, than could have been realize before the news. Had not the foreign advices been mor? encouraging, it is probable that a downward tendenc: in prices would have been the result. The principal ef- fect of the foreign ews has been to impart some better a to th ben t.

The Speech of Mr. Foote. The speech in the Senate, to-day, on the war | bill, by General Foote, proves him to be aman | of education, a reader of politics, poetry, and | the classics, and withal aman of nerve. There | Was one point in his speech significant enough. Mr. Clayton had compared the designs of the ad- ministration upon Mexico, as equivalent to high- way robbery; and Mr. Foote, taking up the charge, demanded to know the scope ot its plication, Mr. Clayton explained pie the Piek- wickian sense; but after this admonition, it would be as well that our whig friends bea little more cautious in their allegations of highway robbery. — In describing the visible effect of Mr. Reverdy Johnson’s f W, pouition, that the war was be; by the act of Mexico, as argued by him to the Senate, particularly its effect upon his whig friends, Mr. Foote compared the gathering storm upon their countenances to a scene in the Alps, described by Byron, which the Senator recited as follows “And this is in the night—most glorious night; And, storm and darkness, ye are wondrous strong.” And if the Senator had stopped here, the quo- tation would heve been apposite and effective; but he continued:— “Yet, lovely in your strength, as is the light of s dark eye in woman. Faralong, From peak to peak, the rattling crags amon; Leaps the live thunder—not from one lone cleud, But every mountain now hath found s tongue, And Jura answers from her misty shroud, Back to the joyous Alps, who call to her aloud.” The stanza was read with much dramatic ef- fect, but the force of the application was lost to the Senator’s love of the sublime. For what application have the “joyous Alps” to the me- lancholy faces of the whigs pending Mr. John- son’s arguinent on his first position; and what analogy have the “ ainiha crags” to the silent sorrow of Mr. Webster, and those around himt How much better and more striking, would have been this verse, as applied to the whigs, while listening to Mr. Johnson:— “1 have a silent sorrow here, Which I cannot impart; It breathes no nigh, it sheds no tear, Yet it consumes my heart.”’ Yet Mr. Foote, captivated by Byron’s thunder storm, gave another stanza :— “Now where the quick Rhone,” &e, Beautiful, to be sure, but having no relation either to Mr. Johnson or the bill from the M: tary Committee. There was, perhaps, a little vanity with Mr. Foote, on the score of his poeti- cal readings, on which ground we absolve him. The quotation from Goldsmith, descriptive of Italy, was perhaps a fair description of the val- ley of Mexico, and, as a description of the coun- try proposed to be annexed, was very inviting, and presented very good reasons for the location of the Yankees down there; a fact which w: so unnecessarily lamented by Mr. Clayton, as certain to lead to the absorption of the republic, Honey mountains, Mestizzoes, Zamboes, leperos and all, The drawback upon Mr. Foote’s peculiarly striking’ defence of the war was, then, that it was too redundant of poetry, and the classics, and moral philosophy, destroying the force of the argument by dilation, and the thread of the story by his frequent digrersions. We expect, however, that it will have the effect of warm- ing, rather than cooling down the debate. W. Wasurncton, Jan. 18, 1848. The Colonization Anniversary Meeting—Over- whelming T'urn Out of the Sovereigns, in honor of Mr. Clay—His Receptionand his Speech at the Capitol. “Though beaten, he has not been slain, ‘Andtill may win the day; We'll pick the flint and try again— Hurrah for Harry Clay /”” Such appears to be the sentiment of the whigs of Washington. They cannot give himup. For some days past, it was known that Mr. Clay would address the Colonization Society to-night, at the capitol—a society of which he ig the Pr dent, and was one of its original projectors; and of which organization, the result, after thir- ty years, is an independent republic of black men on the coast of Africa, one of the germs that are to civilise and Christianise that dark and benighted land. This has been a charming day, a summer day in midwinter, a revisitation of spring in the middle of January—the meeting and the greet- ing of January and May—a reminiscence of the beautiful days when the flowers are scattered all over the earth. And the alternoon came in, too, just as clear and delightful. It was so pleasant to be out in the fresh air! And then Mr. cay was to speak in the capitol in the evening, and everybody knew the place would be crowded, so the resolution was general to be up there in season. The meeting was called at seven o’clock, but at five in the afternoon the avenue was thronged with a procession, movin; at quick time to Capitol Hull. The people o Washington have known Mr. Clay for many a long year. Te is no stranger to them. They have \heard him speak a thousand times, in the House, in the Senate, in the Supreme Court, at public meetings, and at private assemblies—on every subject, they have heard him. His figure, his face, his voice, his style, his manner, hi action, are all as familiar to our citizens as household words. They have heard him speak a thousand times. It was not, therefore, the novelty of hearing alion roar, that they had never had the privilege of hearing—it was not the en- thusiasm awakened by the return of a military chieftain from the scenes of his glory; but it w to welcome an old friend, the tather of the po- litical family—*‘the old man eloquent,” come back again; it was to see him, and to hear him, and to welcome him, that the whigs of Wash- ington turned out so unanimously to Capitol hill to-night. The sentiment was— He is the Whig of all the Whigs, Three cheers for Harry Clay.” And the ladies. They were largely in the ma- jority. They went up by thousands, for about sun down the groups and clusters, and constel- lations of the sex, were strewn along the avenue for a mile— “ Like the multitudinous stars that shine Along the galaxy of Heaven.” ; The sunny side of the avenue was gay with flowing plumes, and happy faces ; young and old, they all seemed to be inspired with the idea “ That rig | ofthe West, is here, Hurrah for Harry Clay!” . Impelied by a sense of duty, and by the neces- sity of an early start, to get into the capitol be- fore six o’clock, P. M., finding that we were pretty well up town, we took one of those con- veniences denominated a hack, in order to get in the advance of several thousand, on the way to the forum. On our arrival, the passages leading up to the hall of the House, and the galleries, were crowded with the thick multitude waiting for the doors to open. By a circuitous dark stair- way, we contrived to reach the vestibule pack- ed with eager expectants, waiting in im- patience for the doors to open to the hall. The galleries were already filled, and looking up the densely peopled stairway, leading to the mountaineers, there stood Horace Greeley, patiently reading a newspaper, but ready at a moment’s warning, to drop into the current when it would set into the House. Pre- sently, Crutehett came along, perspiring most copiously, but edging his way through the mass on an appeal that he was going to * light up. "The arrangement was to open the doors of the hall, and let the ladies first pass in. At the sig- nal, the doors were Cems then, if we mistake not, we heard some hard swearing, a good deal of shufiling, and a mingling of contending voices; but the doorkeepers were borne down as by an avalanche, and the tide set into the hall with such momentum, that a log of wood set upright in the current would have been carriedforward to the centre of the hall of the House. For halt an hour the throng kept pouring in, enid a sorts of cries, shouts, and Cc Sragel adies were fainting every, minute—the enthusiastic sovereigns were assailing every point of ingress, breaking down the doors, aod crashing in the windows, in order “To hear agsin that same old coon, Hurrah for Henry Clay 4 i ccustomed desk we secured on prozentation of our office, a chair; but soon the window at our back was opeane, and a bevy of the finest of the daughters of Washington were lifted up, and stationed around your time-honor- ed deponeat, like a semi-circle of roses bendin er a usetul but unpretending cabbage-head. very corner Was occupied—the aisles, the re~ cesses, the reporters’ desks, the tables, the galle- | ries, the passages all the way down, all were full of people. About a thousand filed off into the Rotunda, and they mightas weil have been in Castle Garden, if their object was to hear Mr. Clay.
