Great Taylor Mas: Meeting at Lafayette Hall ~Anntversary of the Battie of Resaca de ia wauma. At eight o'clock. the hour of meeting. the large room of Lafayette Hall was about one-third filied with peo- ple The Roug! \d-Ready Band, in attendance, en- liveaed§.be company with the lively, animated strains, both of mational and French patriotic airs, Elijah Payne, Esq, wae uvanimously called to the chair; George Briggs « G A. Halsey, Esquires, were ap- pointed secretaries ‘The Chairman then addressed the meeting, and en- larged im @ clear and critical manner upon the battles vietories of General Taylor. During the course of his address a ery was occasionally raised of “ three cheers for Henry Clay," but the evident failure of the attempt as repeatedly produced loud laughter among the crowd, whi stood in a dense semicircle round tthe plett m.

It was" parva componere magnis,” like Wellington at Waterloo. waiting impatiently for the arrival of Blucher. The chairman, however, did his part weil, stood hix ground alone, and spoke ably. Loud cries of * Sinith,” © Smith,” were then raised; but the famous Joho Smith did not show himself. At length, James G. King, Esq came boldly to the rescue, rushed valiantly, comme un gaillard, from amid the crowd, to the desert platform, and addressed the meeting ina bold and animated manner. which was res- ponded to by loud and hearty cheers, Indeed, the peo- ple seemed more ready than the leaders, and looked pretty much like sheep when the shepherds have all run bry! Our reporting corps, a* usual, were on the ground. but the whole body, on examining and com- paring their notes, found that they had already sub- stantially reported the speeches delivered on this occa- rion, five or six times over. We will not, therefore, re- peat them a seventh time to the public, Mr, King having concluded, the band struck up some lively tunes, and whiled away the time very agreeably. After the music, Moses Gnixweit, Esq. came for- ward, and presented the following resolutions, being the same which were offered in Congress by Alexander Stewart, of Pennsylvania ; Resolved, That“ the power given by the constitu- tion to the -Exeeutive to interpose his veto, is a high conservative power, which should never be exercised, except in cases of clear violation of the constitution, or manifest haste and want of consideration by Con- gress.”? Resolved, That * the personal opinions of the indi- vidual who may happen to occupy the Executive chair, ought not to control the action of Congress upon questions of domestic poliey, nor ought his objections to be interposed where questions of constitutional power have been settled by the various departments of government, and acquiesced in by the people.” Resolved, That “upon the subjects of the tariff, the currency, the improvement of our great highways, rivers, lakes, and harbors, the will of the people, as ex- pressed through their representatives in Congress, ought to be respected and carried out by the Execu- ve.” Resolved, That “war at all times and under all cir- cumstances is @ national calamity, to be avoided, if compatible with national honor;” that “ the principles of our government. us well as its true policy, are op- posed to the subjugation of other nations and the dis- imemberment of other countries by conquest, for in the language of the great Washington, ‘why should we quit our own to stand on foreign ground.’”’ Peter Sxex Smitn, Esq., being loudly called for, after some time, at length jumped upon the plat- nd addressed the meeting in an ardent and t strain. Mr. Smith concluded an eloquent on the usual topics, by wishing health and prosperity to the admi tion, which, by making war with Mexico, had raised (?) old Zach Taylor tothe Presidency. Hvon Maxwent, Esq., then came forward, afterloud and —— calls by the mecting, and addressed the briefly. Mr. Maxwell concluded by ing to urn, which was carried, and the mecet- ing dispersed. Affairs in Venezuela. Caracas, April 16, 1848, As the bark Venezuela is about leaving, I send you a few lines, although there is very little stirring at the present moments. President Monagas is still in the in- terior, with a large body of troops, endeavoring to watch the movement of the troops under Gen. Paez, and we are without any positive information as to the whereabouts of Paes, or his movements. ‘The city of Caracas isas quiet at this moment, as though no civil war existed; the operations of the ar- mies are so far removed into the interior, that we only feel its offects in the stagnation of all kinds of business. The friends of Paes are still sanguine in their hopes that in a short time he may make an improssion on the forces under Monagas; but at present we are at a loss to conjecture the tardy movements of both armies. There is a it deal of valiant talk, but I believe there is little ‘fghting Ukely to take place. ‘Time must deter- mine; many of those who marched out two months ago are seturning to the city, sick, and worn out with long marches over mountains and hot plains. Some idea may be formed of the state of the country, by the he -4 me obtaining money; 3 to 5 per cent. r month has been paid in many instances for the st paper; the forced loan has been paid in after much “ diegusto;} the much talked of two million of paper money has not yet made its appearance. Senor A. L. Gusman returned to Caracas a few days ago, but ho will most likely remain quiet, as he owes his life to Monagas. Should he resume his pen as formerly, he in capable of doing much mischief. Some are of opinion that he may be sent on a mission to Groat Britain, Nothing is unlikely after what has passed: the Creoles are truly a strange people to rule a republic. Our “charge d'affaires,” B. G. Shields, Fsq., has taken n, and moved into the mansion of Gen. Paes, in this city, for the p of protecting it in the cbienbe ofthe owser’ Should any thing of im- Portance occur, I will advise you by the first opportu- nity. Tho U. 8. men-of-war, which we have been looking for have not yet arrived. Intersstin@ Mexican Inretuigence.—The fol- lowing is extracted from a letterreceived by a gen- tleman of this city from his correspondent, a highly respectable man now in Vera Cruz ; and it presents a good picture of the state of afflairsin Mexico. It is dated Vena Cruz. April 22, 1848. ‘There are still, rumors of peace ; but no one can say when, if it ever does occur. The opinions here are ag varied as tho winds. Mr. Trist is here, on his way to the United States.and he confidently asserts that the treaty will be ratified by the Mexican Congress; but you will re- collect that it is one of his own children laboring to seo the light. On the other hand, I have seen a letter from General Smith. and also from General Worth.— Smith doubts that the treaty will be ratified. Worth thinks it will; but that some time must elapse first, and an additional clause be inserted, binding our go- vernment to keep a large armed force in the country, to protect the signers from the military aspirants who will deprive the President, Pena y Pena, of power the moment our forces are withdrawn. There Hd ig composed of the landed interests, conjointly with « large portion of merchants and tra- ders, which goes in strongly for annexation ; and to this party is ascribed the lukewarmness of the repre- sentatives who have hitherto kept back and prevented f quorum of Congress from being formed. The Indiana, who compose three-fourths of the population of this vast country, have, mptwithstanding their proverbial ignorance, discovered some of the differences between our mode of fie things, and the iron rule which the Mexicans have held over them. Although the watchwords “God and Liberty” were ever ringing in their cars. they knew nothing of liberty as it is under- stood in the United States ; but having been somewhat aroused from delusion, they will not, it is thought, by many well informed people, long submit to the galling yoke of those who have oppressed them. It is predictes that, having learned something of their power, another Yuoatan revolution will take place all over Mexico, in the absence of the United States’ forces ; and it may be that the whites will be driven from the country.— Nous verrons.” To-day the Americans have a grand celebration or rejoicing in the prospect of a permanent republic in France. From tho N: O. Picayune, May 2) ‘The steamship Virginia came up on Sunday night, but we have nothing later from the City of Mexico by her. if letter from our correspondent at Vera Cruz men- tions that an American soldier who accompanied the last train from the City of Mexico, from indisposition Ingged vehind, and being overhauled by the diligence, he obtained a passage. Tho stage was soon after at- tacked by robbers, who, after plundering the passen- gers of their valuables, took out the American soldier and shot him, Our correspondent could not learn his name. A correspondent at Orizaba writes us, on the 18th ult. There is nothing of interest occurring here. That abominable armistice is the only source of trou- ble, as | knew it would be when first | saw it. The Mexicans are trying to take overy advantage, even by forced constructions, of its too liberal terms, The more I see of these people, the more | think it would benefit the world to exterminate every one of them. About six hundred infantry and dragoons left thie city, yertorany to join their regiments at the City of Mexico.” Police Intelligence. The Newark Bank Case.—There is still much mystery respecting the arrest and recovery of the $21,260 from the colored woman, Sarah Stewart. Her husband, Honry Stewart, on his arrest, sta ed that he saw all the money on Wednesday night, and gave his wife some chango to buy some charcoal, in order to make a fire, where they placed the majority of the checks and burnt them up, It appears that constable Jenkins and Mr. Woolsey procured the most important information from Mr, Mason, the tinsmith in Greenwich street, on Sati day morning about 9 o'clock, through which intell gence they found tho whereabouts of the black woman, And thtts came in possession of the money. It was ru- mored yertorday that some $50 bills were known to be in the hands of some suspicious persons, evidently a ortion of the Newark bank money. Tho matter will be'furthor investigated, and no doubt some queer de- yolopements will yet turn up The new French revolutionary cockade was exhibited for the first time in our atreets Yesterday. ‘There wore three strangers wearing it.

MONEY MARKET. Tuesday, May 96 P. M. The market opened heavy this morning. Notwith- standing the inactivity among operators, prices were without much change. The firmness of holders in the midst of the dullness, is a subject of remark, and no one soems to understand the present position of things in the street. There appears to be no prospect of any im- provement of consequence in prices, andit is difficult to get them down much. At the first board, to-day, Reading Railroad fell off 34, and North American Trust per cent; all others closing at prices current yoster- day.

The variety of coins shipped shows the dif- ficulty experienced in getting proper kinds for export. By the steady influx of specie from the South and West, the banks of this city are enabled to prevent any depre- ciation of their supply; but the gold and silver of the country at large, is rapidly declining. The Southern banks have recently been very much woakened by the drain of specie for the North, and the reports of the suspension of some of the banks of that section, and the run upon others, were the result of the reduced amount of bullion in their vaults. At the second board the salos were larger than usual, at a slight depreciation in prices, compared with those ourrent in the morning. Harlem fell off 34 per cent ; Long Island, 34; Reading, 4; United Statos’ 6's, 185634. There will be a meeting at the Astor House, tomorrow —Wednexday—evening, the 10th instant, of those in- terested, in reference to the establishment of a Dry Goods Bank. We have heard the names of several of our most influential importers named in connection with this project, and we haye no doubt a company will be speedily organized, and the proper arrangements made, to establish such an institution. There is only one bank in Wall street which confines its operations entirely to the legitimate line; every other bank in that section of the city ix used more by speculators than any other class; and in times of scarcity, when the merchants are really in want of discounts, their offer- ings are refused, and the facilities of the banks are ab- sorbed by stock and other speculators. In consequence of this, the dry goods dealers have determined to start a bank of their own, to be managed entirely by their own class, and confine its business entirely to the dis- count of their own paper. Every important interest in the city should do this, and leave the Wall street banks exclusively to the speculators of that neighborhood. ‘We trust the meeting will be large, and that proper measures will bo promptly adopted. ‘The annexed table exhibits the quotations in this market for our principal State and Government stocks, at several periods:— Prices or Stocw: N THE New Yor« Maauar, 645, Redeem. 148.

Government securities generally have been very steady, and the demand which has recently sprung up in Europeyand in this country, particularly for State stocks, must soon have & favorable effect upon prices, and relieve the market of the large quantity of stock now pressing upon it The abundance of money in London, seeking invest- ment, must find.an outlet somewhere; and in the exist. ing state of affairs in Europe—the complete explosion of government credit, and the abandonment of all con- fidence, both public and private—there is no possibility of the idle capital being absorbed in those securities which have heretofore been the favorites above all ‘others; but, on the contrary, those holding those secu- rities will turn thom into money at any sacrifice, and Place the proceeds whore they will, at al! events, be safe, oven if they do not produce any income. The result of these movements will be the accumulation of a vast amount of money in London. Much of it may become invested in British securities; but a large amount of it must find its way to this country by the purchase of our stocks. The political difficulties which surround and threaten every government in Europe, must turn the attention of moneyed men to the United States. In seeking safe investments for their capital, they will naturally make themselves acquainted with our insti- tutions, with our political, financial and commercial systems, with the extent of our resources, with the sta- bility and popularity of our form of government, and the conclusion they must come to from these investigations cannot be otherwise than favora- ble to the credit of our securities. We have no doubt but that a better knowledge of this coun- try has been attained by the higher classes of Europe, within the past ninety days, than they ever before possessed; and the revolutions in their own po- litical affairs have taught them a lesson they will never forget. They have heretofore looked upon any form of government springing from the people, as insecure, weak and experimental, and their confidence and faith in princes have been unbounded; and they have there fore become so involved with the monarchical gove ments of Europe, that all have fallen together. The wrecks of many immense fortunes will seek refuge in England and in the United States, for the purpose of repairing damages, or for asylums where their reduced ostates will give them a respectable position, Stock Exchai $1200 Treasury Notes 6's 10244 150 ahs Canton Co 1% 1500) do 102%, 100 Mohawk RR 73 1500 do DIO 1024 225 Nor & Worvester RR 331 1625'S Bounty Loan 97” 100 Reading RR By 2100 City 59°71 94 20 New Haven & Hart 9 1000) United Stats 6's 56 1028 5 Housatonic, new 10 Kentucky 6's 9S. 300 Long Island 2000 Ohio 6's "70 We w do vis 2 2000 doe Wi, 20 do 90 ahs Mechanics’ Bank 102” 100 do 50 Farmery Trust 800 28% 1) Harlem Railroad 100 do By do phe 0 Morris Canal ov, Wo di be jw do bw Ww 3 Erie RR new, full wD do bls 10 » do do a5 9% 8 © do bio 25 Mlinois Bauk wy Second Board. fy 320000 U $6 per cent '60 102% 60 ahs Reading RR SW ahsMechanicd Bank 102° 100° do side G3 ® Mecha & Trads(NO) 70. wo do ww Sty 150 Long sland Re 3g BD Haslem RR be 100° do wo" Bw do ops 52. 100 Reading RR- By do os CITY TRADE REPORT: New Yorx, Tuxspay Artxnxoo, May 9.

Rich, of the packet bark Childe Harold, for the following interesting statement of the commercial af- fairs of the ports of Havana and Matanzas :— Havana, April 29, 1848. Since our report of the 19th inst., the London news to the 26th of March has reached us, the tendency of which is calculated to have an unfavorable effect on our sugar market. Its influence has not, however, yet become perceptible, on account of the Easter holiday: which interrupted business for a week; and in conse- quence of that, no transactions have occurred to indi- cate the turn which prices will now take. The intelli- gence from Europe may be expected materially to check rhipments, and as the stock is in the meantime accumulating, both here and in Matanzas, it seems likely that prices will decline, notwithstanding the firm front that planters have presented hitherto against the adverse course of circumstances, and which they seem determined to maintain as long as possible.
