Im many sections of the city Duemess operations are carried on on he Sabbath as ‘well as on other days, and if the Common Council wish to improve the morals of the city, it would be well to lay the axe at the root, and with the suppression of the model artists suppress these things which are not less immoral, and constantly yonetnet in open violation of the exprees laws of the city, Cur urs Tunoat.—A tailor by the name of Jonathan Delong, born in Pennsyly: nia, aged 40 years, a resident at No. 179 Church street, having been out of employ- ment, or nearly so, for some time past, e much de- Po sg rite, and on returning home yesterday morn- ing, after making another unsuccessful effort to obtain ‘work, went up stairs to his work-room, apparently much dejected. About noon, one of his sons went up stairs to take him some dinner, when he found his father lying on the r, with a dreadful gash across his throat, which he had inflicted with a razor found by his side. He was bleeding ey Ree and life was nearly ex- tinct. The coroner held an inquest yesterday afternoon, — Are ad was rendered in accordance with the ve .

We would inform them that no eulogies are ever written upon deaths, but elegies sometimes are, as witners, “Goldsmith’s Elegy on the death of a Mad Dog ” Mr Adams has been eulogised, and no doubt deservesthe eulogies he has received; but the Tribune is the only yy we havo heard of, who bave signified in their rance of common EF} that they were glad of death, by eulogising, in their simplicity, the melan- choly event. a Gentlemen’s Hats—Fashion for ‘Spring, 1848, —Wm H.

It will be seen by this that the Secretary of the Trea- sary prefers a stock loan to the issue of treasury notes, if # six per cent stock cam be negotiated at per.

The report of the Schuy!kill Navigation Company, made on the 3d of January, 1848, and presented to the tockholders, gives detailed account of the financial © perations and traffic of the company for the previous year.

Penditures, of $136,244, being a further deficiency in the receipts of 1847 of $296,407. This increase must be realized in the income of the company from that of 1847, before the current expenditures can be met, with- out inoreasing the liabilities of the company. The estimates of the company for the business cf 1848, are as annexed:— Estimatep Trarric For 1848, Coal trade, 500,000 tons at 65 cen ts. Miscellaneous trade, 200,000 tons Rents, &o.

Interest on aggr Deficiency in receipts in 1848. .4....... 000006 55,000 The company have assumed that there will be an an- nual increase of twenty per cent in its coal trade, and have made the following estimate of the net revenue in each of the ensuing four years:— Net income for the year 1849. Net income for the year 1850. Net income for the year 1851. Net income for the year 1852. It appears by this reasonably cert ain that, in the yea 1850, the company will have a surplus of about $43,000 4 after paying the interest on all its loans ; and in 1851, it may, in addition to paying the interest, either pay a di- vidend of 1234 per cent on Its capital stock, or set apart $100000 towards reimbursing its loans, and give a divi_ dend of about 744 per cent on its capital stock, and in 1952 the surplus applicable to dividends and to the reim- bursements of loans, would a.nount to $293,000. The annual report of January, 1847, stated that the company had failed to meet its emgagements to the bondholders and other creditors. The sum of money authorized to be raised by a resolution of the board, of 1846, had been but partially raisod. In January, 1847, the loan negotiated amounted to about $944,000. In or- der to complete the works, to psy for cars, boats and landing, to meet the current expenses of the company and the interest upon its loans, a large sum beyond the current income was required, which was raised by an is- suo of the company’s promissory notes, secured to a oon- siderable extent by deposits of the convertible loan as collateral security. Theamount due under such lisbi- litios, amounted to about $1,500 000. The interest due January 1s!, 1848; debts due for work, materials, &o ; expenditures for boats, cars, ks, to meet the expected trade of 1848, made the aggregate amount of liabilities about $1,800,000, The funding of this debt had been postponed, undor the belief that the trade of 1847 would enable the company to command the money at or near par; but the recent revulsion in the money mar- kets of Europe,and the depression in our own, prevented such a result, and compelled it to submit to an enormous and unprecedented tacrifice. After every attempt to avoid such terms, the company floally negotiated a loan payable in twenty years, bearing interest at the rate of six per cent per annum, for three millions six hundred thousand dollars, for which it reseived eighteen hundred thousand dollarsin money. The bonus paid on this loan, added io the previous Uabilities of this company, swells the aggregate to $9,000,000, the annual interest on which is $540,000, or about sixty conts per ton on less than half of the esti- mated trade of the Schuylkill region for 1848, The prospects of this company extrieating itself from the immouse debt which now prerses upen it, ars at present by no means flattering. Its revenue ultimately must oxoved its expenditures; but it will,we fear, be longer be- fore the stockholders realize any returas on their in- vestments, than is generally anticipated or predicted by the recent report of the company. So long as the com- panies connected with the coal trade of the Schuylkill recion# increase their liabilities as rapidly as they have for the past two or three years, the stockholders | cam have little to hope for in the way of dividends—the debts must absorb the whole of the income, and ulti mately, we fear, the whole of the works themselves. A proper division of the coal trade of the Schuylkill re. gion would give the Reading Railroad and the Schuy!- kill Canal a productive business, and the income would suMice to euable each company to make handsome re. turns, even on the immense tums the works have already cost; but the recklessness with which thé lia- bilities of each areincreased, prevents us from anticips- ting any immediate improvement ia their value as in- vestments, or in their fiaancial condition An act was pasted at the recent sersion of the Indiana Legisleture, to amend the act of 1942, incorporating the Whitewater Vailey canal company.

Wasuinaton, Feb. 27, 1848. The Civil War in Venezuela. Your despatches from Caracas, which passed through yesterday, must have already informed you of the deplorable state of things in that city Official despatehes have been received at the State Department confirming the sad accounts They were brought by Mr. Doty, who arrived « Norfolk on Friday, the 25th inst., in twenty three days from Laguyra, in a veesel chartered by the American Legation for the purpose. At the time the despatehes closed, the people were expecting General Paez to attack the forces of the President. in short, there is every prospec that there is now raging in Venezuela a sangui nary civil war, the more relentless thet it is @ war of races—the Indians and negroes. being leagued With the President against the citizens. The povernment cannot regard this sad condi- tion of affairs unmoved. ‘Two vessels of war will be immediately despatched to Laguyra, for the protection of the citizens of that port, and more especially of those of Caracas. Whilst the United States will not interfere in the intts- tine quarrels of any of the South American States, it is nevertheless manifestly the part the government to lend ita aid to prevent rapine and bloodshed. To let loose on the unarmed citizens a band of lawless Indians and, negroes, was an act of inhuman atrocity, for which Presi- dent Monagas should be held to a strict account, and which would jusufy any nation in interfer- lug; but, meverthelesa, this government can serve the cause of humanity as well by presery- ing order, as by taking sides with the people against their oppressor. The embargo at first laid ou all joreign vessels. by order of Monagas,ghes been removed, at the determined remonstrance of Mr. Shields, our charge. GaLVignsts. Wasutwaron, Feb. 27, 1848. The Treaty—The Administration—Mr. Secretary Watker—The Temper of the Senate—A Few Facts about the Territories Acquired. The provisions of the treaty with Mexico have been published in the Herald—they are known, therefore, to the whole country. Our faith, too, in the good sense of the people of this great and good country, is such, that we believe, with an almost unbroken unanimity, they will endorse this treaty. As achoice between an indefinite warof subjugation and an immediate peace, even if the latter be an evil, it will be the lesser one— as the medium of evading a heavy direct taxa- tion, that most horrid of all monsters to the mass of the people, the treaty will be particularly ac- ceptable. Besides, our measure of glory is full— for, it any more laurels were left to be gathered in the puther prokeseagn of this war; but above all, the impending financial and commercial em- barrassments, inevitable as fate, if the war goes may be prevented by a treaty of peace. r, our decided opinion is, that the ad- n on likes this treaty; but it isa little singular that the head of that department of the government, who is saved from hawking his wares among the Jews of Wall street by this compact, should be the man most decidedly op- posed to it. It is strange that Mr. Secretary Walker, who is saved the necessity of an exci tax on corn whiskey by this treaty, should pre- fer the continuation of the war. r. Secretary Walker, however, looks ahead. He calculates that in absorbing Mexico, we absorb the mines ; that we might so manage it as to make it all slave territory, and thus forever rule off the north on the questions of slavery and free trade, and thus immortalize the little Secretary, whose darling scheme, since the re-annexation of Texas— whose great projet, even as a financial, and par- ticularly as a Presidential speculation, has been up to this day the re-absorption of La Republica Mevicana, eagle, serpent, prickly pears and all. President Polk likes the treaty—the Senate will approve it, and the country will ratify it. A distinguisted Senator informs us to-day that the treaty is acceptable to the administra- tion, as he believes, even if it gives no stable ‘* security for the future.” The existing Mexi- can government is recognized as the supreme power of an independent nation, and a treaty of peace made with that government will be count- ed as valid by the laws of nations, as the treaty made with Great Britain on the Oregon question. We shall then have, by universal consent, a de- fined boundary with Mexico, by her conceded, by us accepted, by both parties determined, an by all parties respected, saving, if you please, Mexico herself. A revolution, we will suppose, curs there three days after the treaty is per- fected—a new government comes into power— the treaty of the ejected government is repudia- ted, and war is declared against us. What then? We invade the country as before; we overrun it in a three months’ campaiga, taking the capital by surprise, and dispersing the war party to the winds. Then comes another treaty; and we take the line of the Panuco to San Luis Potosi, thence ina straight line fatitudinully across to the Pacific, embracing about one-hait of whatis now left of Mexico, ineluding the States of Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosi, Cohahuila, New Leon, catecas, Durango, Xalisco, Cinaloa, Chihuahua, Senora, Occidente, and Lower or Old California; and leaving the residue of the Republic for the third Punic war. This plan of taking it in broken doses, will make it more agreexble to all concerned; and, with the under- standing that any hostile demonstrations on the part of Mexico will be but the signal tor another division of the Republic, we rather suppose that we shail have ample “ security for the fu- ture,” as far as the Mexicans are concerned. With the acquisitions of New Mexico and California by the present treaty, we get an erea of 600,000 square miles of territory,—a region which we have heretotore described at lex A single word or two now will answer tor toe recollection of your readers. La this ar included the great desert intervening between the frontiers ot Arkansas and the Rio Grande, where for 600 miles there is scarce a stick ot timber or a spring of water to_be seen—then comes the chain of the Rocky Mountain’, and from their western level you travel 500 miles westward along the southern trim of Fremont’s Great Basin, the most terrific agd appalling de- sert on the face of God’s earth; a desert 5 ’ miles square, walled in by mountains on all sides, without vegetation, wihout animal lite, save in detached positions of. a few square yards extent;—a desert where the springs are hot from the volcanic fires below—where large rivers are lost in the sands, and where the admixture of salts and sand over the interminable undulations ot the great waste, reilect approaching armies to the passing caravan, and ‘Titanic rancneroes to the poor trapper, who finds owt at length that it 1s but his own image and movements reflected, and multiplied before him in the blazing air! Great God! what sort of a country is that, Mr. Trist? Did you think that such was nine-tenths ot the 376,000 square miles of Upper California, when you first contemplated its apnexation, Mr Polk? Bat the spacious inland, mountain und bay of San Francisco, deep, tranquil and pacious, shut in from the sea, and shut in from the land—this bay of all the bays on the tace of the earth—this harbor of all harbors, with its beautiful system of valleys and rivers, the prin- cipal of which are the Sacramento from the north, and the San Joaquim from the south, this bay and its riversand valleys are worth the costs of the war, if, indeed, any valuation can cover the loss of the thousands of brave men of our armies who have been sacrificed in this contest Over all the region of country that we have ac- quired, from the mouth of tie Kio Gran 1 the Gulf ot Mexico, to the shores of the Pacific one league south of San Diego, the seasons a divided into the rainy and the diy; that is, to about three months ot almost unintermitted tor- rents ot rain, there succeéds a term of nine months of remarkably dry weather, rendering the most fertile lands perfectly useless without irrigation. Hence it 1s, that beyond the borders of the streams, the country 1s uninhabited, uns cultivated, and an itreclaimable desert. — At all events, we shall have a treaty of peace; we shail have a defined boundary; we shall have the Pacific harbor of San Francisco, to say no- thing of Los Angeles, Monterey, Santa Barbara, and San Diego; sad in these, Whatever may be the ‘security for the future,” we shall have ample ‘* indemnity for the past,” as far as indem- niy can be made. th The Tex ec treaty will go well in the Senate. J Texas Senstors may oppose it, on account of those old Mexican claims; Mr. Allen may op- pose it, ata venture, any how; Mr. Hannegan may be disinclined to accept it; Mr. Dickinson may think it does not dip fax enough into the contiguons territory; but it will go through, and we should not be surprised it Mr, Cass nimself Were to vole for it.
