per cent premium. There is no particular demand yet for the steamer of the 12th inst. from Boston. The following in the result of a recent auit relative to ‘the foreclosure of a chattel mortgage on the running ap- paratus of the Harlem Railroad :— The Mechanics’ Bank vs. The Harlem Railraad Com- pany.—E_ K, Collins, a trustes under e mortgage given by the railroad company, on their locomotives, ko , to secure the payment of $82500, which is ail due, having refused to take possession of the property and to collect the mortgage, on the ground that it was for the interest of the company, of which he was a director, and as he believed, for the interest of the creditors, that pazment should not be enforced, it was ordered that he removed as such trustee, and that the sheriff procted to exeoute the trust, The Company have appealed, which, if granted, com- pels it to give the sheriff recurity in twice the amount (165,000) to await the final decision. Should an appeal be granted, it will only put off the matter eixty days, and the issue might as well be met now as then. The truth is, this company is so embarrassed in {i's dnances, that ft cannot struggle along much longer. The above is only an item; there are demands ageinst the compa- ny, more than four months dus, for more than two hundred thousand doliars, making, in the aggrogate, nearly three hundred thousand dollars pressing for payment, Without means, without credit» without any disposition or ability on the part of the stockholders to raise funds, how isit possible for thy rood to be kept in operation? The president ond direc. tors have already involved themselves deeply, and have determined to get in no deeper; they have called meet inge of stock holders, and have placed the financial affairs of the com pany before them, they have made every ef- fort to carry the company through ite difficulties, but they have not been aided by those who are as deeply in_ terested as themselves, and have consequently abandon- @dall hope of preserving the property of the concern — In our opinion, it would be the best thing for those {n- terested in the completion of this roa & work of in- ternal improvement, asa means of communication with the interior, to have the company sold out, not only on the above chattel mortgege, but upon the other mort- gages, given for the security of the outstanding bondi It would, in that event, fall into other hands, and we should soon have road to Albany. This result may be realized much sooner than many antloipate. The sheriff must proceed iu accordance with the above order of the Supreme Court forthwith, if no appeal is granted, and at the end of sixty days even if granted, unless the demand is in the meantime liquidated. Should this de- mand be paid, it will be an inducement for other cre- ditors holding demands past due, to press them, and foree the company to meet them, or torce it into liquidation. ‘There is only one wey to put this concern in o safe position, and that is by an assess- ment upon each share of the atook already issued. This method has been frequently suggested, byt the stock- holders seem to think that the board of directors can do anything necessary in the way of raising funds, and they lis‘en to no proposition, and make no effort to ald them. The difficulty is, the present board have done too much, they have raised money upon their individual credit, to such an extent, that it is the general impres- sion they oan raise any amount at anytime. Thisim- pression is endangering the property of the company, and the sooner it is done away with the better for all ooncerned. The stockholders must put their shouldery to the wheel, or the company will get so deep in the mire that (it cannot be extricated. If they do, as a body, half as much asthe president and directors have done as individuals, there will hereafter be little trouble inthe finances of thecompany. At present the concern is in a tight place, and something must be done at once, ‘or it will be too lati The last annual report of the Reading Railroad Com- pany has been, for some time past, anxiously looked for, aad many interested have been compelled to put up with the meagre account published soon after the lest annual meeting. The amount invested in this concern is more toan twelve millions of dollars, and it is annually in- orcasing at a pretty repid rate. It appears by the report, Jor the year ending Nov. 30th, 1847, that the aggregate income of the company for that year, was a little more than two milllon of dollers, as annexed :— Reavine Rartroap.

Of this balance, $639 323 11 were paid for inter: leaving 8 balance of $363,216 01. Of this, $143,027 47 have been patd. for commissions and charges, incurred during the yest, in acquiring the means to meet the bonds due at that time, and the floating debt, which has been charged to the cost of the works, as it cannot be regarded as an item of current annual expenses, and therefore, not properly to be deducted from tho revenu neoount of this year. After deducting this sum, the balance will be reduced to $220,188 54, which is, in fact, the orly fund applicable to a dividend, as we find in the report no account of its expenditure. The increase in the capital of this company bas within the past three yeare been very rapid, and unless something is done to arrest it, we ree nothing to prevent a tremendous collapse one of these days, similar to that experienced in the immense concerns of pre- vious yeare.

According to the last report, the liebilities of the company on the Sth of November Isst, am unted to $11 802 409 64, which agrees with the above, deduoting the balance reported subject toa dividend. It is stated that the company requires greater facilities for carrying on the coal bu nese, and that an foer of engines and cars is ne sary, either by purchase or hire, The fodebtedness of the company will be inor 1d by the outlay for such facilities, and the amount upen which interest or divi- donde will be paid greater; but the income may bs enough larger to warrant such an expenditure, Since 1845 the Jonns and stock have increased $2 969,850; and ifno other inorenss takes place in another year than the additiona, «took orvated by the dividend made since the last report, the emount of loans and stock in 1848 upon which int est or dividend will be paid, or we might more properly say will be due, will bo $11,961,200, showing an inoren tinos 1545, of $3,504,090. ‘Tho most extraordinary feature of the financial opera- tious of this company, {s the fact, that with ite immenee receipts, end its large curplus, the Indebtednens of the cowpany fs increasing so rapidly. ‘The etook dividends require no money, and we cannot flad, in any part of the report, what appropriation has been made of tho balance Jt no doubt har, with the exception of $143,027, paid fer commirsions and charges, been appropriated to the pay- ment of the floating debt; but it is not sufficient to keep down the devt, or prevent its inoreasing. ‘The Illinois and Miehigan Canal is progressing rapid- ly to its completion, aud it is sald that before the re- sumption of Ieke navigation, boate will thread the entire | line.

Wasuinoron, Feb. 7, 1848 General Scott— Mr, Sevier— Mr. Trist— Kit Car- son— Presidential Aspirants— Mr. Dallas— Mr Cass. No charges have been preferred by the edmin- istration oyainst General Seott. The only charges against him are those laid by General Worth, and these are not very serious. The correspondence that has taken place between General Scott and the War Department, since the last session of Congress, would furnish graver charges than those preferred. Should this correspondence be made public in com- pliance with a call from the House, it will in- jure the General very much. It is, therefore, probable the whigs will not press’ the Secretary of War to communicate it. Mr. Sevier is reported by the Union to have said, in the course of his speech in the Senate on Friday, that there is no foundation for the rumor that Mr. Trist has made atreaty. Iam strongly disposed to doubt, it Mr. Sevier said so—not the less, that the Union affirms it—but if he did say so, he did not speak ex cathedra. There is no direct proof that Mr. Trist has made a treaty, but there is abundance of circumstan tial evidence, sufficiently strong to convince the al, that a treaty has been made. | If Mr. Trist has m dea treaty on the basis of the ultimatum offered before the battles of Mex- ico, the impolicy of his appointmentas Commi sioner will recoil upon the President with terri- ble intensity. Asit is, Mr. Polk’s indigostion is excessive—not becauce Mr. Trist has violated his instructions, and disobeyed the ordera of fh government—although that was more than euffi cient to provoke his resentment; but becauve in total disregard of the President's wecret_admo- nitions, he has taken counsel with General Scott, nstrad of advising with Mr Polk’s friend, General Pillow But in counselling with any of the officers of the army, he has gone beyond his imstructions; although, as he did violate them, it was better to consult General Scott than any officer of inferior rank, t is announcrd that Kit Carson, a very de- serving man, distinguished for his endurance and intrepidity in the explorations of Lieuten- nt Colonel F-emont, has been rewagded by the President with a commission. Mr. Carson rioh- ly deserves any thing that may be done for him, but how many #8 meritorious men are urterly neglected, because they have no_ patron like Mr. Benton to drive the President into doing thy m nstice. How many private soldiers, who have veen extolled by their officers for desperate valor, and good conduct in otner respects, whose merits the President has totally overlooked, because they had no potent voice inthe Senate, whor support was to be conciliated, or wh was to be feared. While Rome w: merit was fostered—valor rewarded. This was the case even under the despotism-of Napoleon, and to @ greater extent; but Mr. Polk’s question is not whether a man has merit, but whether he can wield influence. oe There is an idle surmise to which is attached the solemnity of a great political secret, started here, that if Mr. Cass is to be the candidate of the democrats, Mr Clay will be the candidate of the whigs; but in case Mr. Wosdbury or Mr. Dalias be nominated, General Taylor will be the choice 0: the whigs As for Mr. Dallas, he has never been seriously thought of except by a few of his sanguine personal friends. He isa very estimable and accomplished gentleman, but his name has nothing in it to call forth the strength of any party. Mr. Cass’s prospects have been sadly darkened within the last month. The most untortunate course he could have adopted was to consentto fill the important and conspicu- ous post of Chairman of the Military Commit- tee. He isa most amiable man, but totally un- qualified for such a position. Indeed, it is by no means extravagant to suppose that the President, in pressing Mr. Cass’s accep’ance of the post, contemplated such an exposure of his weakness 1s could not fail to prove fatal to his aspirations. Itietrue, that all the government patronage in the West is thrown into Mr. Cass’s scale; but what sane man now believes that Mr. Polk is sincerely favorable to his nomination 1 Brought into contact with such men as Mr. Crittenden, Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Webster and Mr. Clayton, Mr. Cass must appear to great disadvantage, and of this fact the President must have Leen fully aware. he However unsuspicious Mr. Cass himself may be, his friends are determined to test on the first vote in the convention, the sincerity of Mr. Poth's declarations that he duces uvt desire a re election. This they mean to efiect by throwing a tew votes forhim on the first bajlot, aud un- less his name be immediately and peremptorily withdrawn, there will be full evidence that he is a candidate. Jae The Cass men depend for the success of their candidate, upon the adoption of a majority rule, instead of the two-thirds rule which prevailed 1m the convention of 1844. In this, they cauuot succeed; and even it they could, Mr. Cass will not have a majority in the convention. It is doubttul if any man have a majority on the first ballet; but certainly the chaoces are not at all in favor of Mr. Cass. His friends and himselt have acted unwisely, in betraying an over anxiety for success. They claim forhim Indiana, Illi- nois, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Ver- mont. None of these States has gone or will go for. him, usless his friends succeed in abolishing the district, system of electing dele- gates in fitinois; (which 1s improbabie.) Ohio und Michigan are the only two States that will instruct their delegates to vote for Mr. Cass. GaLvisnsis. Wasninaton, Feb. 7, 1848. Political Movements. The proceedings of the House, to-day, were highly interesting. Mr. Wilmot walked into Father Ritchie and then into Mr. Buchanan, who, he said, was the candidate of the adminis- tration tor the Presidency. But I presume your reporter has furnished you a full account of what took place. : Votes of thanks and gold medals, were giyen to Generals Scott and Taylor, und thanks with- out medals, to the officers and men. Mr. Gid- dings, eateuing the spirit, moved to vote thanks to Albert Gallatin, but his proposition was laid upon the table. | r 2 The Presidential election has opened in the House, and we may expect to see further demon- strations during the present week. . Waenine1on, Feb. 7, 1848. Mr. Wilmot vs. Mr. Buchanin. We had anotner specimen to-day of the charming elements of the harmonious democra- cy. Mr. Wilmot walked into the anti-proviso pronunciamento of Mr. Buchanan, as a storming y would enter a hostile city, peil-mell, head- long, straight forwerd, and knocking down every thing in bis way, no matter whether friend o¢ enemy. Mr. Thompson, commonly called Jadge Thompson, one of his colleagues, come down upon Mr. Wilmot, very considerably, to the defence ot the large fine man in the white erivet, io wit, the Seeretary of State, and the episode isa good thing, as fars itgoes, toshow olitical democratic world is re- volving justnow. We are going to have a series ot expositions as we go along, and such a state ot things will be exposed as none but sagacious lookers on could guess at. Wasnrnaron, Feb. 7, 1848 Progress of the Debate in the Senate. R. M. T. Hanter, (called in the outset of his public career, Rua Mad Tom Hanter, by the cross-road politicians) spoke to-day in the Se- nate, on the war bill. He goes for the defensive ine; but while Mr. Calhoan proposes the Rio Giecder Mr. Hunter proposes the Sierra fase, as not only a defensive line, but as a line of offensive operations, When necessary—not aa the boundary, but as the line to be held in mil: occupation to compel the enemy to sue tor peace. ‘Mr. Huater’s speech was distinguished for its elegance, its harmony, iis sound politieal plu- losophy, its close abstract reasoning, aud its strong practical ser He is an able man, & and a deep thinker. Ile depicted the probable consequences of the annexation of Mexico in colors bold and vivid, and with argu- ments clear and well putin. Of course he is opposed, in every view of the case, to this wild goose chase of a consinental erusedey which in the very inception of the echeme, threatens @ rupture of the confederation. Ww. Waenineron, Feb. 7, 1848. Evening Summing Up.
