Tuesdsy, Feb, 15.6 P.M. Quotations for stocks remain about the same as re- ported yesterday. The fancies vary a fraction from day today, sometimes up, and sometimes down. At the first board tc-day, United States 6's fell off 34 per cent; Farmers’ Loon, {; Canton, %; Long Island, X; Nor- wich and Worcester, 34; Hatlem advanced \{; Reading Railroad, 4; Treasury Notes, 1%; Obio 6’s and Reading Bonds olosed at yesterday's prices. At the second board, Harlem advanced % per cent; Loug Island, 3; Farmers’ Loan, % The transactions at both boards were only to a moderate extent. The absenos of the steamer has an unfavorable effect upon business matters. Sheis sow in her eighteenth day, and 1s more than due, judging by the passages ly made by the packets and other steamers. The adoption of the new constitution in this State a8 produced, or will produce, a revolution in all the ystems which havo heretcfore been in operation, regu- lating our financial, commercial, and manufacturing {nterests. All theso interests have hitherto been, to a certain extent, monopolies; they have been incorporated compavies by an act of the Legislature, requiring a charter giving certain privileges and facilities. The rights which these companies have obtained, and the privileges they long enjoyed by their charters, heve given them advantages over individual enterprise, and have been by no means demooratic in their tendency or results. The first movement towards abolishing these monopolies, was made in the establishment of the free banking law in 1837, by the party now in power. That Jaw opened the door for any one depositing the proper security with the Comptroller, to establish a bank, issue bills, discount notes, &o.,and establish banks with powers imevery respect equal to thore enjoyed by the old safety fund bavks. When that law wee first adopted, it was very defective. and many of the bauks first established exploded, and bill holders were heavy losers; since that period the law has been from time to time improv- ed, but it is still imperfect, and bill holders are by no means properly protected, as we have seen by the recent suspensions. Several propositions bave been made to alter and amend this law for the better security of the bill holder; but the party in power in the Legislature have other views in re- lation to this bill and all others regulating the establish- ment of companies for the purposes of banking, insur_ ance, manufacturing, and all other companies havin; capitals created by an issue of stocks. A new banking bill has been introduced inte the Senate, the most impor tant feature of which is, the adoption of afund somewhat similar to the old safety fund, mads up by contributions from each bank, in the shape of New York State stock. ‘The basis of the circulation is the capital paidin. We are not informed yet of the details of the bill, and have no idea of the amount of the contributions to the fand, of the proportion of paper issues to capital, of the secu- rity of this capital, and the guaranty required that it has been all actually paid in, and a dozen other impor. tant matters, necessary to know before expressing an opinion es to its merits or demerits. The new manufacturing law, recently adopted in this Stote, will give a great impetus to this important branch of industry. It opens the busivess to any individual or any company, wishing to get up a stock cspital, and governs them all by geners! principles. It lays down the rules tor tho regulation of these concerns every one commencing the business, must be subject to the restric- tions imposed; and any one conforming to these rules, is at liberty to carry on any branch of manufacturing. This does away entirely with the necessity which has, until now, existed, for obtaining a charter from any company formed; and ail the lobbying and log-rolling necessary to get # favorable charter from the political party which may at any time be in power. The business is now open toall; and we have no doubt there will be avery great {norease in the amount of capital employed init. It wil, do more to build up this interest than any legislative act ever before passed. Thero isan attempt making at Albany to get up an insurance law; but the bill introduced is an abortion, and if it should be adopted would derange the whole system,and compel our merchants, and all others wanting insurance, to go to ether cities for policies. We are sadly deficient {n insurance capital, and the effect of the new | Dill, would be to reduce the amount below the present sum. We have, in two instances at least, experienced the folly of having such a limited amount of capital em- ployed in this business. Twice the insurance compa- nies of this ofty‘have been cleaned completely out; twice they have been ruined, and ruined hundreds in their fall. They aro daily and nightly in danger of heavy | losses.and we know not when another devastating con- flagration may sweep themagain from existence. Itis, therefore, the height of folly to propose any bill calcula” ted in any way to reduce the insurance capital in this city. ‘There appears to be in the bill, now under conel- eration, a disposition to destroy the companies of smal) capital; and the object of it evidently is to consolidate the business in the hands of the companies of large capi- tals, and prevent that wholesome competition so neo sary for the protection of the insured. We want a ge! ral law in this, aswell as in banking and in manufac. turing. Establish general principles for the regulation of all companies, and the greater the number that go into operation the better. There is no danger of too much capital going into this business; the only protec” tion we want is that in relation to foreign companies.

Onte—555 pao of the company to the extent authorised by the charter, for the purpose of converting the bonds into stock when- ever the stock oan be exchanged at par, or will bring par 'n the market. There is no doubt, but that, long before the funded debt becomes due, the stock will be above par, and the bondbolders glad to make an exchange for stock. It is good policy in any railroad company to turn its creditors into debtors, or, in other words, to turn ite debt into stock, as it improves the valus of the original stock, and places «ll on a par. ‘The annual report of the Auburn and Rochester Rails road Compary for 1847, presents the annexed exhibit of the affairs of that concern at the close of that year: Avsuay ann Rocursrer Ratiroap.

Wasurnexon, February 18, 1848 The Mexican Question—Mr. Polk and the next Presidency. ‘The British courier’s news from Mexico and Queretaro is looked for by every mail. On the complexion ot this intelligence hangs the future fate of Mexico—at least so far as that fate can be controlled by the action of the treaty-making power of this government. Any terms covering the cession of New Mexico and Upper Califor- nia, will be submitted by the President to the Senate ; and wiil, in all probability, be accepted by that body; but it is also probable that the House would refuse appropriations for carrying sueh a treaty into effect. The present tone of the House is decidedly averse to the acceptance of any such terms. Any man who shall advocate it will soon find that he is sailing in the teeth of gale of public opinion that will finally swamp him. There is no concealing the fact. The people are in favor of the fullest measure of in- demnity, even if that comprehen! the whole of Mexico. Mr. Polk was brought up to an almost undisguised avowal of this policy in his Jast an- nua! message, but he has since been frightened by the opposition ; and he now indicates nis de- termination to submit to the Senate any propo: tion that may come from the Mexican govern- ment, how wuch soever it may tall short of what he has led the people to believe would be the minimum of his demands. There are those here who have been so positively assured of the contrary by Mr. Polk, that they are totally incre- dulous ; but they wiil, in all probability, be un- deceived before the end of the week, so that it ‘Pheophilus Catchall, C: muitaben; Deuteronomy Honey comb, Chanfrau s Ladv, Miss Phillips.

Thave no doubt that Mr. Polk is striving to. shape things so as to secure the nomination of the Baltimore convention tor himself. His creatures here and elsewhere, are undisguised in their advocacy of his claims; and the broils and dissensions, that he has done all in his po er to promote, are projected here for the purpot of weakening the strength of each other aspi- rant. [tis a deep game, and it has been hitherto adroitly, although a little too openly, played.— The move now incontemplation is the establi ment, in New York, of a newspaper, to advo- cate his renomination. To each candidate, Mr. Polk appears asin the last degree anxious to promote his nomination, and each is thus cured asa friena, in case himself cannot be no- minated. In the west, the government patronage is given to Mr. Cass’s friends, so that that gen- tleman will feel bound in gratitude, in case he himself do not succeed, to throw his influence for Mr. Polk. Thatthis scheme will succeed, is not even possible, for the rage of the different eandi- dates, when t ey. discover the trick, will pre- clude anything like a unanimous support; and thus Mr. Polk may plot the whig camsudats into the next presidency ; but it is more likely the thing will be discovered before it is quite ripe, and Mr. Polk may find himself obliged to make avirtue of necessity, and retire with as good a grace and as great a show of sincerity as he can assume. This will only take place after he shall have lost all hope of a renomination. GaLvignais. Wasuinaton, February 14, 1848. Congress Both houses to-day have been killing time on the Mexican question. In the Senate, Mr. Yulee took ground against Mr. Dickinson’s anti-Wilmot proviso resolu- tions; and contended that the position of Mr. Dickinson, in leaving the question of slavery tothe people of the territories to be acquired would be infinitely worse to the South then the proviso He was stopped at the expiration of the morning hour, aid will resume his argu- ment on the subject to-morrow. 3 Mr. Breese followed in a speech on the bill of ten regiments, in favor of it, of course; and read a good lot of newspaper extracts, to show that the opposition of the whigs to this war is pre- cisely the opposition of the federalists to the war of 1812. Altogether, however, the day in both houses has been pretty much a waste of time. Bautimone, Feb. 16, 1848. The Charleston Steamer—Valentine’s Day—Re- moval of Richard J. Turner’s Case—Concert— Elder Adams. The ocean steamer building by Mr. E. H. Dun- can, to run between Charleston and Havana, the first steamship ever built in Baltimore, will be launched on Saturday next. Her dimensions are 216 feet on deck, 34 feet beam, and 82 feet depth of hold. She is capable of freighting 1000 tons, and will be propelled by a steam engine of 5000 horse power, which is now being built by the Messrs. Readers, of our city. She is being built with the full expectation that she will rival in speed and sailing qualities any vessel now on the ocean. Pei There were 16,000 valentines deposited in the ae post office up to 10 o’clock last night. The case of Richard J. Turner, the defaulting clerk of the Mechanics’ Bank, was yesterday removed to the Anne Arundel county court, on account of the difficulty keeping off of the jury personal friends of the party who have sworn to clear him, let the consequences be what they may. He has been cleared on two counts, whilst his counsel admitted his guilt to the jury; and if tried here, would doubtless. be cleared on the third and last indictment. He is now to be tried on the charge of a conspiracy with Wm. S. Birch to defraud the bank, the latter having already been found guilty of such conspiracy. The Steyermuarkische musical company had an Cs pe house at their first concert last night. : Eider Adams takes a benefit to-night, appear- ing as Pizarro. I am inelined to think he would ae better house if he did not appear himself at all. - Puriapecruta, Feb. 15, 1848.

Copes’ Liverpool line. She is 1300 tons, custom-house measurement; and, though you have larger ves- sels in New York, yet the Tuscarora is un- doubtedly the largest merchant vessel that was ever built here. Her descent into the water was a magnificent sight, eliciting the cheers of thou- sands of spectators. 4 At least thirty thousand valentines were trans- mitted, yesterday, to their destination, through the post-office and the numerous private des- patch posts. The practice is continued to-day, and will provably last throughout the month. | The roof of a house on Fourth street, opposite Union, was slightly damaged by fire this after- noon, and the furniture and goods in a millinery establishment beneath deluged by the water.
