M. ‘The stock market is unusually heavy, but prices do not give way so much as might be anticipated. At the first board to-day, the sales were confined almost en- tirely to the fancies, and the variations do not reach more than a fraction of a per cent. Money is getting easier, but it appears impossible to get up any move- ment in the stock market. Later intelligence from Europe is anxiously looked for; but there is very little probability of the news having a favorable influence upon the market. There are two steamers full due— the Britannia, from Liverpool, for Boston, has been at wa nearly fifteen days, and the Hermann, from Southampton for this port, has been at sea—provided she sailed on her regular day—nearly seventeen days, and both may be hourly expected. The Hermann will bring five daysand the Britannia seven days later in- telligence. The political news by these arrivals, may be important, and so may the commercial advices ; but ‘we look for no favorable change in mercantile or finan- cial matters on the other side; no improvement in se- eurities or in public confidence; nothing but the oepest depression, and the most gloomy anticipations for the future. ‘The receipts of the Attica and Buffalo Railroad Com- pany for April, 1848, were $12,631, against $8,100 for the samo month in 1847, showing an increase this year of $4,530, equal to about 55 per cent. Foreign exchange continues quiet. Prime bills on London are held at 1034 a 11 per cent premium. Domestic exchanges are all in favor of this city, and the discount here for drafts on every other point ranges from %4 to 234 per cent, as will be seen by the annexed table:— Domestic EXCHANGES. rar 8 Repti a 3 dis a2 dis al dis al die 1 is Br atk = ffalo — Mobile (Ux notes). 9 a1 dis JUOTATIONS FOR SPxcIE. = = Amer. gold, old...105 9 106 Carolus dolls... 1,03 1,06 do do.” new @ 100 Five francs a '95 Half dollars... a 100% a 1640 Portuguese, gold a 100%, a 15,75 Spanish dollars. a 105 a 488 do quarters a 100 a 485 Mexican dollars. a 13g a ‘do quarters, , 993; a 100 a 3 Treasury Notes,. .102% a 1023; Uncurnest Monzy.

Specie is movinig quite actively. The current Ot ward is principally to Great Britain, and the current inward principally from the South and West. Unourrent money is very abundant—so abundant that the brokers in the street find it dificult to take all that is offered for redemption. ‘The great supply fs caused by the influx of country merchants with funds to mect their payments and purchase their spring stocks. ‘The railroad companies in every part of the country are in a prosperous condition. With the rapidly in creasing receipts from the same line of road, and rapid extensions of old lines into tho interior, the aggregate income of these works of internal improvement this year will greatly exceed that of last year. ‘The Ma chusotts Western Railroad has increased about $10,000 In the past two weeks. Railroad stocks generally aro depressed, with all other securities, by the position of the money markets; but they must be the first to re- cover, and must soon become much more favorite in- vestments than they are at present. There are very few railroads in this country perfectly completed. Most of them are constructed at first in such a loose: cheap manner, that they are continually in want of repairs, and the annual outlays aro lange for repairs. Railroads recently constructed hore have been built more rubstantially, and the current expenditures are, therefore, less than on old roads. The rails laid down on roads built ten years ago, have proved too light for their business, and heavy expenditures have since been made to replace them with heavier ones, In the present year the export of grain and flour from Cincinnati, has fallen rather below the average of the previous years. The exports of pork and beef, how- over, have rather inereased. Exrorts or Cincinnati. ‘1846--7. 404,407 215,007 18,03: Flour, bbls, Corn, sacks... .... Cornmeal, bbls... Oats, sack: Beef, bbls.

Owing to a very light stock in the market, flour was again more firm, to-day, and rales of good brands G , were made at an advance, ‘There were also some ‘salex made for future delivery. Supplies being also light at the east, forced purchases in this market to supply immediate wants, which circumstance alxo tended to stiffen prices, There continued to be a good demand for southern brands, with further sales, Corn had ruled #0 low within a month or two, as to prevent large receipts, and the farmers being now busy in planting new crops, also tends to check supplies ; hence the stock of good yellow corn in the market has become very much reduced, and sales were made at an advance in prices, Meal was also held at firmer rates.

Anecino, P. R., April 15, 1848.—Notwithstanding the very discouraging advices for our sugars, both from Europe and the United States, the demand latterly for prime has been brisk, and sales made readily at $3 25 ‘& $8 60; some lots of sclect quality something higher. Our stocks of these descriptions are entirely exhausted. and lower grades are much neglected. Orders for Eu- rope are few, and limits low; holders are, however, ask- ing $3, probably in anticipation that a continued de- mand for the United States and scarcity of a prime ar- ticle, may cause an improvement. Our crop will be considerably shorter than was generally expected at the commencement of the season, Molasses continues in good demand, and very scarce, at $12 per cask of 110 gallons. Matanzas, April 26,—The Easter holidays just past have left our market very dull, and the very bad news from Europe, brought by the Hibernia, has contributed not a little to paralyze it.

Galviensis and the Senate. Before passing to the more serious subjects of consideration, connected with the investigution instituted by the Senate, it may not be improper to call especial attention to the form of oath I was at first required to take. This also, like their mode of proceeding, is borrowed from a by-gone age. Its effect would have been to bind me to answer all such interrogatories as the Senate might choose to put. It corresponds, almost word for word, with ‘he oath known as the “oath ex-officio,” adopted by the high commission conrt of England in the reign of Elizabeth, This court was established by the Queen, on the authority of the act of supremacy, to take cognizance of all offences against the estab- lished religion. It was invested with extraordinary powers, and was authorised to examine the clergy on oath touching their views on doctrinal ques- tions. ‘This oath, binding the taker to answer all questions that should be put to him, was so much at variance with all the established principles of even English law, that it was loudly condemned ay the time, and Lord Burleigh himself, a bigoted ad- vocate of oppression, was obliged to declare that he thought the “inquisitors of Spain used not so many questions to comprehend and to trap their preys.”— The high commission court—its forms and mode of proceeding were all swept away in the reign of Charles I., with the Court of Star Chamber; and now, in this country, and in this age, the form of oath used by that court—the most odious and op- pressive of its creations—is revived by the Senate of the United States in their judicial proceedings. Tadmit that the power to arrest, try, and punish, in private, a citizen of the United States—a power overriding the constitution—if once conceded, in- volves every other power which the caprice of the Senate may invent or revive; and therefore, seeing they have established an inquisitorial tribunal, one need have no surprise that this oath, a broken and buried instrument of despotism, is disinterred from amidst the ruins of that monarchy dashed to fioes iG sentria ago, by the strong hand of Crom- well. Another monarchy was dashed to pieces some weeks ago by the strong hands of the artisans of Paris, and amid the shouts of exultation which as- cended from this city on the occasion, was heard the voice of Mr. Hannegan, crying “all hail to the young republic of France”—that new-born child of the goddess Liberty, who is supposed to take up her especial abode in this favored land. A few short hours before, with those same lips that gaye utterance to this sentiment, he had voted to crucify that glorious goddess in the person of an humble ‘citizen. Such blasphemous mockery of freedom has but one parallel, and that it would be irreverent to quote in this connection. But [ had forgotten. Mr. Hannegan has de- clared that, like Tyord Mansfield, he will not run after popularity—popularity must follow him. In- deed, he has intimated that to him it is a matter of perfect indifference whether he be flattered or as- sailed. Who was this Lord Mansfield whom Mr. Hannegan quotes with such reverence? He was the most abject slave of one of the meanest des- pots that eyer sat on the throne of England. His whole judicial life was devoted to the sole end of Coe Say the prerogatives of the crown at the expense of the liberties of the people. By his de- cisions on the bench he did more to sap the foun- dations of English freedom, such as it is, than Scroggs by his. bold ruffianism, or Jeffries by his wanton brutality. There was no service so de- araded 80, assault on the constitution so impudent that he did not attempt,at the bidding of his master. This is the man whom Mr. Hannegan so deeply venerates, and whose sentiments he adopts as is own, _ Shall {the public be enlightened as to what judi- cial character Mr. Phelps has taken as an exem- plar? He has been among the most violent insti- gators and mapecrtaes of the proceedings that have Just terminated so discreditably tothe Senate. An exposition of the cause of his hostility would be cu- rious; but I forbear for the present. Is not Mr. Phelps aware that his political existence hangs at the point oe if he were more efficient for evil, I would be less sparing. As-it is, I confess to a sentiment of a malicious pleasure (we are none of us perfect, Mr. Phelps!) in hold- ing over his head, unhurled, the bolt with which I can, at any moment, compass his destruction. Let him mend his ways, and avert his destiny. That power, which I scorn to exercise for motives of personal revenge, I will not fail to exert, should its use be hereafter necessary to prevent mischief to the interests of the nation. _ It is such men who claim a right, unknown to the constitution, to deprive the citizen of his liberty, without even the meagre formalities of a court of law. Guided by such men, the more in- telligent Senators have permitted themselves to accessory to a most disgraceful assault on the liberty of the press. The Senate was once a dignified and respectable body. Can it any longer pretend to dignity, when among its members are to be found such men as Moore, and Turney, Phelps, Hale, and Upham? Besides, the body—once an independent branch of the government,—has deteriorated into a miserable instrament of the will of the Executive. Why does not Mr. Calhoun ad- dress the powers of his great mind to abating this abominable evil? Does he not know that the re- cent procedure, which, I understand, he ha formly condemned, was originated at the insti 1 of Mr. Polk? Ishe not aware, that the object of the President in thus procuring the prostitution of the Senate, was to crush Mr. Buchanan? this same President, who had the hypocrisy to say, when ap- plied to by his satellites in the Senate, for his ad- Vice in refation to their course on the motion for my disharge, that it would be unwise to liberate me until I should exonerate the Cabinet. It will be recollected, that when asked by the Scene of the Senate fo pbecly Mr. Buchan rom any agency in furnishing the papers publish in the Herald, I refused, on the grdund that t had no right to ask the question. On Mond: 2 March, however, I sent in a volugtary declaration, to the Senate, completely exonerating the of State, and asked that a committee should pointed to take my deposition to the truth of declaration. ‘That committee was _ moved Was never granted. Its creation was oppo: Mr. Polk’s friends, and yet Mr. Polk declares t he desired Mr. Buchanan’s vindicatior But every body else—even Mr. Buchanan him- selt—was perfectly satisfied with the testimony that was betoro the Senate in his vindica Why was it not satisfactory to the President — Was it because of his excessive zeal for Mr. Bu- chanan’s interest, or was it rather that he desired to invalidate that testimony by suggesting 1ts in- sufficienc aration of the 27th of Ma ‘That dec ating Mr. Buchanan, is , exoner- ow on the journal of the . Why has not that journal been published? not Mr. Polk’s friends voted against its publication ? And yet Mr. Polk declares he de- sired the exoneration of his cabin GALVIENSIS. Wasuinatox, May 4, 1848. Political Scheming. As the time approaches for holding the conven- tion, Mr. Polk and his friends begin to throw off the mask which they have endeavored so long to v r, and which is now becoming troublesome. Various small papers are giving tongue already, and even the larger ones in Mr. Polk’s interest have received instructions to move. Cautiously, little by little, the minds of the democracy are be- ing prepared for a re-nomination. The Union, of this morning, contains an article so worded as to act as a feeler on the other presses of the party. It declares that although the “feeling and pur- pose” of the convention of 1846, was strongly in favor of the one term principle, yet that principle, when brought before the body, did not reevive its formal sanction. It adds that Mr. Polk concurred in the principle at the time; but it does not say that he intends to act in accordance with his pledge. So absolutely sure is the President of the success of his schemes, that the Union Ks course, not without advisement,) declares that the support of the nominee, whoever he may be, should be made the test of every man’s democracy. The design of this is evident. The President knows that there is more than one member of his cabinet who cannot with any consistency. support him, should he be the nominee; and it also happens that these are the men of whom Mr. Polk ‘would gladly be rid. From his connection with them in the cabinet, he naturally feels an oyerwhelming and crushing sense of littleness, and without having been able to dispense with their services he has hated and feared them, from the beginning. ‘Thus is explained why Mr, Simon Cameron has been the dispenser of Mr. Polk’s bounty in Pennsylvania, and why Mr, Lawrence has been retained, in the New York Custom House, in direct opposition to the wishes of Mr. Walker. Every species of, hu- miliation has been poured out on the heads of the two secretaries, and the alternative was presented to them of abandoning to the hands of « small schemer the interests of their country, or of re- maining in the eabi That they chose the lat- tor, speaks more for their patriotism than tor their self-respect, For the last two years the whole influence of the Philadelphia Custoni House :-has heen employed in an attend 10 injure Mr. Buchanan. Mr. Polk knew it, and did notattempt to interfere. The supposition absurd. His repented efforts to control the western papers, through Mr, Cave Johnson, by the offer of petty post-office patronage, conclusive proof that where self-interest is to be subserved, Mr. Polk is not disposed to be too se pulous. Consistency isnot his forte. In fact he treats a principle as the toper treats his wine-flask —breaks its neck in his impatiene ¢ to obtain its contents, and after exhausting the full measure of its golden store, flings it away as so much use. less lumber If Mr. Polk be sincere in not desiring a re tion—for strange as it may appear, he still makes declarations to that eflect—why does he not instru his organ to declare uneqmvocally his determina tion ? Is not the belief prevalent among all sections of the party that he is making most strenuous e forts for a nomination? Why the cautions, am- biguity of the article in this morning's Union? Why employ his instrument, Turney, to go from one didate to another, and profess on the part of the President, to be attached to each in turn? Has not this Senator gone to Mr, Cass, Mr. Houston, Mr. Buchanan, and professed to be the warm supporter of each? Is he not recognized by each of those gentlemen as the mouth-piece of Mr, Polk, and did Was it from principle t not each tolerate his adherence, which they would not otherwise have tolerated, because “he wy known to be the confidential adviser of the Presi- dent? And further, why is Mr, Cameron bought off from Mr. Buchanan ? tothe Richmond Enquirer's support of Mr, Houston sincere, or is it merely a bid by Mr. Poik for that gentleman's support in the convention ?

Yucatan—The Senate Debate—The Beauty of Con- sistency—Reception Night at the White Hous The Question of the Presidency—New Mail <Ar- rangement—Crutchett’s Long Pole Bird-De- stroyer. It is said by the wise old man of Avon, that even the toad wears a “ precious jewel in his head ;”” and as no other has been discovered upon dissec- tion of the uncouth quadruped, it must be the jewel of consistency. This jewel existeth not in the heads of our wise legislators. Perpend—In the debate in the Senate to-day, upon the bill for the relief of Yucatan, which ought to have passed without debate, so manifest is the authority for the act—so loud the call of humanity—so clear the expediency of the measure—there were all sorts of | | | objections introduced in opposition to the move- ment, The Chairman on Foreign Relation: was himself again. In the release of his pri- soner his conscience was vastly relieved, and to-day he spoke out like a man in the cause of humanity. He perhaps laid too much stress upon that universal hobgoblin of the designs of Great Britain; yet his argument was not without a basis, even upon this point. Mr. Clayton labored like a lawyer upon a bad cause, to make out a case against the bill, and Mr. Crittenden recited a whole catalogue of impediments to its passage. We were surprised at this course on the part of Mr. Critten- den, at ery pointedly we thought senator Foote did hit him for his argument here, against the in- sufficiency of the plea of humanity, as contrast- ed with his course, at the last Congress, upon the bill which he introduced for appropriating $500,000 for the relief of Ireland. On the le score of Hee the casesare nearly the same. In Ireland, the people were dying of starvation, and they calle for bread. Nor did t otha God) call in vain, though the bill of $500,000 was lost in the House. In Yucatan the helpless whites call for protection against the ruthless savages, who are destroying the hated pale faces from the face of the country. We sent ships to Ireland, laden with bread for her relief; why not, upon the same ground of humanity, send ships with arms to the relief Yuca- tan? The dangers cited by Mr. Crittenden are mere bugbears. Mr. Jefferson Davis, from the laws of war—from the existing armistice—pre- sented a clear authority for the bill. Indeed, under the armistice, this very measure for putting down “armed Indians,” and for repelling “ incursions of the wild Indians,” is enjoined as a duty upon this government. 3 But the real difficulty with the whigs and with Mr. Calhoun, may be readily explained. It is the bugbear of annexation. They see in this measure another apple of discord in the contest for the Pre- sidency. They fear that the administration will take the people of Yucatan at their word, and in eration of saving their lives, will take their d sov nty of the peninsula, and that upon us may turn, in the approaching campaign, 3. this nu the question of the absorption of the whole of Mexico. ‘ No reasoning man can apprehend any such dis- aster from this proposed temporary transfer of a part of our military and naval force to Yucatan.
