Commen Council. Both bramebes of fhe Common Council hold forth in their respective chambers this evening. In the board of aldermen, itis doubtful whether much will be done beyond the ordinary routine of business—it being their regular stated meeting. The board of assistants hold » special meeting, for the purpose, it is presumed, of again taking up and progressing, as far as possible, with the report of the committee on retrenchment, Ko. Appendix G being an act to amend the city charter, embraces many salutery reforms in the administration of the olty government, and if passed by the Legislature, no doubt on being submitted to the electors of the city, it will mect their approval. The propriety, however, of increasing the number of assistant aldermen any more than the number of aldermen in thickly populated wards, is not made apparent in the report; while the latrer clause of the 9th section, vis:—‘ The board of Alderm all have the sole power to try all impeach- ments, and no person shall be convicted without the voneurrence of all the members elected to said board,” would render an attempt te impeach an official, a com- plete farce ; inasmuch asthere is not and probably never Will be, an office holder, who, if = on trial before the hoard, could not secure a dissenting voice, and thereby thwart the possibility of his conviction, no matter how heinous an offence he may have committed. With these exoeptiona. the views of the committee appear to be un- objectionable. iss AuBAny, Feb. 11, 1848, The Position of the class called ‘‘Anti-renters”— Yeas and Nays upon the General Manufacturing Bill. The persons who represent that portion of the people of this State who are called ‘‘anti-rent- ers,” upon the judicial bench and in the Legis- lature, are, I fear, illy capable of organizing or of conducting a safe or successful opposition to the oppressive exaetions (if oppressive exactions they be) of the owners of the estates which are the objects of fthe present controversy. It is a mournful truth that these representatives of this unfortunate class of our fellow citizens, have counselled and urged them to adopt a system of unlawful and murderous retaliation, against all persons whatever who have attempted to enforce those claims of the landlord, to which the enforcement the law and the power of the State is solemnly pledged. The mise- ries of which this controversy has been the fertile source, continue to exist among vs; the postponement of that final settlement of this difficulty which must eventually be made, opurarates and increases the perplexities which already surround it. The State will suffer in her most vital part before she will see th@ the public safety itself is depending upon the per- emptory and unalterable settlement of this ques- tion. The people of the State who may feel that they have no immediate concern in this grievous quarrel, but whose welfare 13, nevertheless, con- nected with it, should petition the Legislature to levy a general tax, in order to raise money to purchase of these landlords their entire interest ia these estates; this being done, the tenantry shouid be suffered to remain in undisturbed pos- session of their several farms forever. How greatly might the public good be subserved by such a law; what important benefits and bless- ings would grow out of it. Someesuch means may certainly be devised to repair this ruin. In a late letter Icommunicated the intelligence that§Mr. Treadwell, a senator representing one ot the anti-rent districts, had introduced into the Senate a resolation instructing the Attorney General of this State to commence ejectment suits Saxinst persons who have derived their tide to lands within this State from Great Bri- tain, if, in his opinion,such suits could be prose- cuted with success. This is the substance of the resolution introduced by the senator, and when he offered it he was perfectly aware that the constitution declares, that all grants of land within this State made by Great Britain prior to 1775 shall be deemed to be valid in every re- spect. Does the senator mean to dodge this clause of the constitution, or does he mean to originate a train of litigation which will last half a century? He cannot mean to make us believe tnat there 1s the least that such ejectment suits could be with success. But no matter what he means ; itis plain that under whig patronage and en- couragement,anti-rentism is taking bolder ground than it has ever taken before. In the Senate, to-day, the following preamble and resolution was offered by Mr. Johnson as a substitute to va resolution offered by Mr. Treadwell,noticed above : ‘Whereas. The people of this State have adopted and hitherto adhered to the wise and just policy of quieting titles to real for the purpose of encouraging indus- try and improvement by protecting owners from the liti- gation and losses resulting from continued agitation of questions concerning their titles; and #m pursuance of such policy, under the colonial goverament of the State, parsed laws confirming and establishing the rights of persons possessing lands and manors under grants from the government, and limiting the time during which claims of the State or individuals adverse to such rights should be litigated; and under the State government, by repeated legislative amendments, have established and confirmed the principle of the law as now enacted in the Revieed Statutes, that “the peopie of this State will not sue or implead any person for or in respect to any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, or for the rents, issues or profits thereof, by reason of avy right or title of the peo- ple to the eame, unless, 1st, such right or title shall have accrued within tweaty years before avy suit or other proceeding for the same shall be commenced; or unless, 24, the eaid people, or those for whom they claim, shall have received the rents and profits of such real estate or some part thereof, within the said of twenty years.” And whereas, any directions of the Legislature in gen- eral terms, fer the institution of proceedings for the re- Bed 5 of lands held under colonial or State grants, would be an abandonment of the well-settled policy and law ofthe State, and tend unjustly to excite dou to the titles of all persons holuing under patents from the government, and lod or detay the amicable ad- justment of mutual claims, founded and depending upoa the validity and stability of the laws and grants of the State, Therefore Resolved, That the direction or encouragement, by the Legislature, of litigaticn concerning rights long en- Joyed by citizens und r grants and confirmations of the ‘State, would be contrary to the true policy and duty of the government, oppressive to citizens compelled to liti- gate with the power that should protect them, and would tend to diminish that confidence whioh citizens should ever feel in the justice and stability of the laws and acts of their government; and if such litigation should be directed in the name and under the power of the Btate for any other purpose than a recovery for the sole benefit and use of the State, it would be a perver- sion of the powers of government from the duty of pro- tection to purposes of maintecance and oppression. Upon all these preambles and resolutions, ii portant debates will take place, of which I shall take careful notice. The general manufacturing bill passed the Senate, to-day, in the form in which I gent it to you yesterday. The yeas and nays upon the final passage of the bill, were as follows: Avere=Mesers. Ayrault. Bokee, Bond, Browngon, Burch. Coffin, Cole, Cook, Fox, Fuller, Geddes, 8, H. P. Hall, W. Hell. Hawley, Johnson, Lawrence, Little, Mar- tin, Treadwell, Whalion, Wilkin, Williams—22. Noxs—Mesers. Betts, Clark, Floyd, Tamblin—4. When this vill shall finally pass, I propose to examine its tendency at some length; the House will, probably, agree to the amendments which the Senate have made to the bill. : .

This week has been a very dull one ia our city. There has nothing been done in the po- litical or mercantile werld, worthy of especial note. Some of our democrats, it is true, have been very busy speculating on the presidential question, with reference to the nomination of Judge Woodbury for the succession. His honor’s prospects are excellent, according to these gentlemen, and things certainly do look if he might yet take the wind out of Gen. Cass’s sails. I finden impression prevailing that the General has been “humbugged” by the Presi- dent ; and as that, at this time of day, argues an jntenseness of stupidity almost beyond human comprehension, men are loth to select him for their lender. Mark, I do not say thatsuch is the fact, but many others do, and the effect is yet_to be seen, The remains of Ramson, Scott, and Thomp- son, were sent from here on Wednesday, to the several places in which those heroes are to find their last and long repose. The military honors paid to them were respectable, and nothing more. ne affair ought to have been taken up by the eity, and carried through in a proper maoner ‘There isan intense malignity about our whivs here,which manifests itsell in the shabbiest way I do not believe there is another city in the Uai- ted States, in which the remains of the gollant dead would not have been treated as they de- served to be—no, not a town or hamlet, in which Amerigan feeling exists. Yet these men, with thrir noputriotie fueling, their petty noti tT ppirit of narrow vindictiveness, Aeptre ule ossible chance rosecuted this mighty land! Why, ani properly the prs eK ret think irect thatof anation! i There isa great diversity of opinion among the whigs in the legislature on the subject ot in- corporations. Many of their number ere kicking out of the traces, and there is every indication of a quarrel breaking ap the whig organization in these parts. The old-fashioned whigs do not know what to make of it, and are beginning to feel disconsolate. In the course of a week or two, I shall send you a letter, In which I shall go into a full examination of this matter. Under. ordinary circumstances, | should not think of troubling the readers of a paper so thoroughly national in its character as the Herald, with lo- cal affuirs ; but the reai cause of this ihreatened disruption of old whig ties in Massachusetts, originates in national politics, and has very lit- tle to do with local points—perhaps nothing.— The whigs throughout the country may not be indifferent to movements in a State so firm in their cause as Massachusetts has hitherto been, and it may be useful to them to know, that there ismore than an even chance that the vote of this State will not be given to the nominee of the Philadelphia convention, by the people, should that nominee be a slave-holder, ora citi- zen of aslave State. The existing legislature, in the event of no choice of electors by the peo- ple, will give the vote of the State by filling the vacant college, so that the whigs are pretty sure of ultimate success. From what I know of the condition or sentiments of our “barnburaing” whigs, I have no hesitation in saying that, had Governor Wright lived, or received the demo- cratic nomination, he would have stood a better chance of carrying Massachusetts than any northern or north-western whig—Mr. Clay and General Taylor not excepted, supposing the lat- ter tobe awhig. I will say no more now than that there isa strongly-growing determination nong our radical whigs to go against the nomi- na:ion of wny southern man, and especially against Clay or Taylor. shay are not eupable of themselves qualified to Cincinnati, Feb. 9, 1848. Western Art Union—Beard’s “ Poor Relations” —Conduct of the Directory. Among other matters of interest, our Western Art Union attracts censiderable attention. It is based upon the same princtp cs as your New York institution of the sa.e name. Whether the operations of the dire-tors in carrying these principles into effect 1c conducted with sound judgment, and are c.:aracterized by a liberal policy, is a matter of which we are not so sure. So far, ut least, the lofty pretensions contained in their annual report, have been but lamely car- ried into practice, in their first and most import- ant movement for the present year. In the same document the entire want of taste among our citizens is deplored, and the heroic eflorts of the directors to change this lamentable state of things, as well as the “comfort and sus- tenance” given to artists in embryo, who will now “yield delight and refinement to unborn generations”—these, we say, are set forth with an_inimitable self complacency The movement, above alluded to, is the pur- chase of a picture, -representing several dogs, called the ‘ Poor Relations,” by Beard, which is to be engraved for this year’s distribution amongst the subscribers. Of Beard’s standing as an artistin yourcity, we need not speak. His tal- ents, no one who pretends to be a judge of art, will deny. We have but one word, therefore, to say in reference to the claims of the ‘* Poor Relations” to an original design, and that is, that it bears a strange and striking resemblance to several engravings after the celebrated Landseer’s paint- ings. However, as the picture has been sent to New York, to be engraved, those of your readers who take an interest in matters of this kind can judge for themselves. If the “destitution of true taste amongst us” is so great as the directors of the Western Art Union ssiactly assert, the question naturally arises, eetbnetd purchase a picture, to be en- graved and distributed among all the members— tobe framed and placed ina position where it will be daily seen, and, being an engraving of the Art Union, as a matter of course, held up to the rising generation as a gem of art—the ques- tion, we say, arises, is it a picture calculated in- trinsically to create or even elevate taste ? With all their generous intentions, in behalf of a benighted public, we may be permitted strongly to doubt the efficacy of the principal means they have adopted, this year, in order to accomplish their truly great and noble aim. We do not hesitate to say that they must take one of the two horns of the dilemma; either a dire ne- cessity exists of creating and cultivating a “true taste” amongst themselves, or they have catered toour ignoraace, of which, if we are to believe their statement, we have, Heaven knows, al- ready too much. fi Why the picture was purchased so early in the year, bsfore their new rooms were thrown open —why all competition was barred by such ill- advised and premature haste—why no adver- tisement appeared informing the artists of the west that an beet Sips was to be issued—why it was stated in the annual report of the directory that, in all probability, the new board would find it neither ‘practicable nor expedient” so to do, thus, to a certain extent, misleading the mind of the public and ot artists—why they did not evn themselves time to make even a show of se- lection ; and, finally, why is the engraving to be executed in New York, when the institution professes to be western, and when we have men here more than competent to the performance of the task ? These are questions more easily asked of our directors than answered by them. Ia conclusion, we may add that a dead rat, placed, conspicuously, by the arti in the fore- afound of the picture, has mysteri oma disap- ared, Is this an omen ? for sailors tell us that rats invariably desert a sinking ship. AMATEUR. Gaxvxston, Texas, Jan. 50, 1848. The Financial Affairs of Texas. 1 addressed yov a letter a short time since, in which J proposed to keep you informed of the signs, as they appear, inthe financial firmament of Texas. Ifthe subject be of so much interest as to be worthy of your columns, you will ive ita place there; if it be not, why then you might hand these letters over to the Commissioner of the Patent Office, so that they may appear in the next Report! Since writing my last letter, the legislature have been taking a few steps in the matter. On the 15th inst., a bill to provide for memori- alising the U. S. government to establish a line of military posts trom Fort Washita to the Pas- so del Norte, and offering to sell to the United States the claim of Texas to all the territory north of that line, was introduced, and referred to the committee on military affa! A resolution passed the senate on the 5th inst. to appoint a select committee of six, to act in conjunction with a like committes from the house, to enquire into the expediency of ascer- taining the amount, &c., of the public debt of the late Republic of Texas—devises means for its li- quidation, &c. 3 fe These two measures will sit over the same bottle with each other; and like the two friends who were seen walking arm inarm up Broad- way, they seem mutually to depend, each one on the other; and as the boy said of the matches, especially the one on this side. They were as sociated in the last campaign, and will both m probably receive kind treatment of the present legislatars. We are aware that a great deal of distrust prevails in the North upon the subject of the debt of Texas. Distrust ? nay, more—a sort of total abstinence, touch not, taste not, &c., feeling. But this is all the offspring of the same parent who begat the dispute about the “ divini- ty” of the war—ignorance. You have heard tell of interesting families, Mr. Editor? But a sight worth seeing, would be the dining saloon of the Astor, with ignorance at the head of the table, and folly at the foot, and all their multitudinous sfepring occupying the intermediate places — There they all sit—I see them now, dining off empty plates. uttoreturn, By your last paper I find you do not even quote us among the States who owe. Our promises to pay cannot find a place in Wall street!—not even asa “fancy.” Weill,as the Yan- kee said, never mind, some of these sharp fel- lows will find themselves presently in the pre- dicament of the old Pennsylvania farmer, who lost five hundred dollars ina single year by not having hay to sell. There can be ne doubt that Texas will pay every cent of what she calls and considers ine just debts. There is ji little doubt th she is more able to pay than any delinquent State in the Union. Before the present war began, there was a majority of the United States Senate in taver of purchasing the lands of Texas at a lair valuation. Doubtless hie pe could ha been, ere this, consummated, if the present war had not “justcome ” This may remind you of the anecdote of the boy, who ha gg Be who made him, first, gues + one and then enother, wotil he xhausted all his mother's acquain- tances; pon he ed up With anew idea and exe! he supposed he was not made at all, come If Tex: to pay, and able to pay, wherefore is her credit so much worse than that of others who do not pay? There isa Broveiltaye impression abroad that the debts of Texas are like unto the seed ot Abraham, as being num- berless as the stars; whereupon they become like unto them in another respect, as being shunned by all men, But there is great error in this, as will soon be proved by the reports of commit- tees already appointed. There could not be a reater mistake than they make who suppose fiat the Texas government does not know, and has no means of ascertaining, the amount of her debt. The records of the proper offices contain minute reports of not only the amount of issues, but their denominations, and for what they were issued or paid out.

MONEY MARKET. Sunday, Feb, 136 P.M. During the past week there has been considerable ex- eitement in the stock market, and quotations for most of the fancies have advanced from five to five and twen- ty per cent but fell back again to abont the starting point. There has been a spsculative movement in stocks for the past three weeks, but the reactions have been s0 numerous and so great that prices at the close of the market yesterday, only show an improvement of from five to ten per cent upon the lowest rates which have ruled during the panic. There may not be any farther improvement in prices for a time, but there is very lit- tle probability of a decline of any consequence below prices now current, It is hardly time yet for any specu- lative movement of much importance in the stock mar- ket, as there are several things weighing upon the finan- cial and commercis! classes, calculated to depress copfi- dence and induce cantiousness. The banks have but slightly relaxed the restrictions they placed upon them- selves; and until the causes of this timidity are removed, we cannot expect any perm: it improvement in prices for stook securities, The advance already realized in the fancies, isno more than what is warranted by the improvement which has taken place in the money mar- ket. The suspension of shipments of specie to Great Britain was the direct cause of the rise in stocks, although the reports of peace, no doubt, had a favorable influence, and the relief the money market realized by the cessation of that drain of bullion, was sufficient to create the advance which has taken place. The only thing of any importance which now weighs upon the market and keeps speculation in check, is the fact that government must soon issue proposals for another loan. As soon as this difloulty is removed, there will be no obstruction to the expansion of the banks and an inflation of credits, but the independent treasury, and that will be sufficient, ifthe provisions of that act are strictly enforced. It has not yet been de- termined upon, in what manner the new loan will be ne- gotiated, or in what shape treasury notes will be issued, even in the event of anissue being authorised. Shoulda stock loan be determined upon,the immediate effect of ne- gotiating it upon the market will be more unfavorable than an issue of Treasury notes; and the rate at which such ® loan weuld be taken, would be more unfavora- ble for the government. The course pursued by the Chairman of the Commit- tee of Ways and Means relative to this loan, is calcula- tod to embarrass the government very much in its finan- cial operations. The estimates of Mr. Seoretary Walker have, heretofore, been exceedingly accurate; his calculations relative to the revenue of the gov- ernment from customs, from the sale of public lands and other soarces have been very oor-eot; and his estimates relative to the expenditures on account of the war, when hostilities first commenced, and there was very little data to bare estimates upon, have been so near the actual amoun: expended, that capitalists have plaord Considerable confidence in his statements regarding the future wants of the government, The Secretary of the Treasury has as many sources of information at his command as the Chairman of Ways and Means, and the public generally will place as mueh reliance upon his estimates as upon those of Mr. Vinton, parti- ularly when the fact is taken into consideration that the latter gentleman represents a party that wishes to manufacture as much political capital out of the financial difficulties of the government as pes- sible, between this and the next Presidential cam- peign. The Svoretary of the Treasury says that he wants but about thirty-four millions of dollars, in addition to the ordinary revenues of the government, pedan-4s the demands upom the Treasury to the ist of aly, 1) independent of any military ecntributions which may be levied upon the people or the government of Mexico. Since the report was made by the Seoretary of the Treasury, giving these esti- mates, advices received from Mexico state that a tax of ene and haif millions of dollars had been levied, ‘part of which had been collected. In the estimates of revenue from eustoms, no estimates have been made lative to duties upon merchandise imported into and ex- Ported from Mexican ports; and the Secretary avoided all reference to amy revenue, in any shape, from thet country, depending upon what amount might be ool- lected, toreduce his wants, from other sources. The in- come from the tariff imposed upon the eommerce of Mexico, has been large. The receipts from customs at Tampico since the Ist of May last, have been $291,000, and for the same tims at Vera Crus about $1,000,000, which, considering the unsettled condition of the country, with all communications with the inte- rior cut off, shows what revenue could be derived from that source if the whcle country was completely ocou- jed by our troops, and a proper military government established. We have not the slightest doubt but that, by @ proper system of direct taxation, and a judi- clous tariff of duties upon the imports and exports, not only the whole current expenses of the army of ocoupa- tion could be raised, but also an indemnity for the past drawn from that country, in the shape of an annual reve- nue. We have more confidence in the sources from which Mr. Walker derives his information relative to the resources of Mexico, than in all the statements ema- nating from croaking politicians or ancient finanolers. The officers of our army, who have been fighting the bat- tles im Mexico, and at their leisure examining the re- cources of the country, kuow more about ite candition, ond are better of ite to bese taxation, than imed this sabject closely and carefully, and his motive in not alluding to it in his annual report was, without doubt, the fear that he might be considered extravagant in his estimates relative to the amount of revenue which might be derived from that country. Notwithstanding this source of income is in reserve, or has not been calculated upon in the estimate of ex- penditures for the ensuing eighteen months, the Chair- man of the Cummittee of Ways and Means asserts, in his official position, that the estimates issuing from the Treasury department are many millions below what will actually be required to moot the expenditures witbin the period above named. The Secretary of the Treasury aske for a loan of but sixteen millions of dollars for the present year; and it would be much more creditable to the party in power, if it at once authorised the loan, in the most feasible shape, instead of the leaders showing their ignorance by talking about that which they are entirely unacquainted with. If the expenditures are larger than reported by Mr. Walker, we shall hear from it full eoon enough. If the Treasury department is in want of more meney, it must be made known. ‘We will suppose for a moment that the statements emanating from the Committee of Ways and Means are correct; that the government will want many millions of dollars more than the amount reported by the Secre- tary of the Treasury. How would the fact agree with their efforts to reduce, or their determination not to in- crease, the revenue of that department? The whig party is opposed to the present tariff; it would, had it the power, repeal it, and adopt one highly protective, in the face of the large and increasing expenses of the govern- ment; it would also destroy the Independent Treasury system, and adopt some system ef banking; it would distribute the public lands among the different States and cut off that source of revenue; or, in other words, to sum up the whole, it would adopt measures which would revolutionise our financial and commercial sys- tems, and, im ao short time, ruin the most important in- terests ofthecountry. Fortunately, there Js no founda- tion for the statements made relative to the enormous expenditures on account of the war, and very little dan- ger ofthe opposition party succeeding in establishing any of itsmeasures. The present tariff may not produce so large arevenue as anticipated, but it will give the govern- ment a greater revenue than it could derive from one highly protective. The Independent Treasary act may compel the government to submit to more unfavorable terms in negotiating alarge loan, but it preservesthe most important interests of the country, increases the specie currency, and prevents those inflations and contractions which are s0 ruinous to all but the most desperate spe culators. The system the government is pursuing in regard to the war, may be at first expensive, but it will redound more to the honor and glory of the country, and ultimately more to its prosperity and the extent of its revenue, than an oppcsite course. The opposite party would, if we may judge by the principles advocated by its leaders, abandon everything, sink the expenditures already incurred, and demand no indemnity for the fa ture. It is fortunate for the country at large, that the prospects for a party coming into power opposed to the present plan pursued relative to Mexico, are poor in- deed. It isa part of its destiny, and cannot be changed.
