Norwich and Worcester fell off 334 per cent, at the first board to-day, making a decline of seven per cent since Monday. This rapid depreciation in prices has a tendency to depress other fancies. Farmers’ de- clined 1 per cent; Morris Canal \;.Herlem 34; Erie Railroad new, full, 4; United States 6’s, 1867, advanced 44 per cent; Reading Bonds x; Treasury notes closed at yesterday's prices. It will be perceived by an official notice in apother column, that the whole of the preferred stock of the Harlem Railroad Company has been taken, and that the first installment of five dollars per share is payable on Monday, the 22d instant. This places this compa- ny in a stronger position than any other railroad in the country—we will not make a single exception. It places’ the company in funds to pay off every fraction of its indebtedness; to complete its road to Dover plains, a distance of eighty-four miles from the City Hall; to construct a double track to the junction with the New Haven road; to build a new bridge over the Harlem river, and provide the line with whatever machinery and appertgnances the increasing business of the company may require. The debt which has weighed ‘upon this concern like a mill-stone, has been removed, and all the difficulties and embarrassments which have for years created so many fluctuations in the market value of the stock, have disappeared, and the finances of the company are ina healthy and prosperous con- dition, The new board of directors is every thing that any stockholder could wish; and, although we regret the retirement of one or two of the old board, it is some consolation that their places have been so judiciously filled. We have received a Congressional document, giving a detailed description of 2 work about being published by Aaron H. Palmer, Esq., giving » memoir, geographi- cal, political, and commercial, on the present state, productive resources and capabilities for commerce of Siberia, Manchuria, and the Asiatic Islands, in the Northern Pacific Ocean, and on the importance of opening commercial intercourse with those countries. This will give » comprehensive history of these coun- tries, and furnish a fund of information relative to those sections of the world, which are at present al- most unknown. The immense trade which might be carried on in the places named, if proper commercial treatios were made, apgicars to have been lost sight of, and our commercial marine has for ages been confined tothe old beaten track. Mr Palmer proposes ways and means to open and secure this trade upon the most favorable footing, and we have no doubt the adoption of his views by the government, would lead to a great increase of our commerce, and the extension of our foreign markets. The territories of Oregon and California aro rapidly filling up with hardy, industrious, and enterprising settlers from the Eastern States; our fisheries in the Pacific are already immense, employing more than six hundred vessels, and more than 20.000 men; we have a large number of vessels trading from port to port in the Pacific, and are about forming steam communica- tions along the coast. The resources of those seas are immense, and are at prosent but little known; and the object Mr. Palmer has in view in the publication of his work, is to induce the government to secure the ad- vantage our geographical position gives us, in prose- cuting this trade. The acquisition of California, New Mexico, and other territory on the Pacific, has in- creased the importance, or necessity, for an early movement on the part of Congress, and we hope the facts presented by the forthcoming work will accom- plish that desirable result. ‘The annual report of the Boston and Concord Rail- road Company represents the affairs of the company as being ina very prosperous condition. The whole amount which stockholders have paid in, is $339,656; the company has reliable stock to the amount of $600,- 000, and the amount expended has been $325,608. The cost of the railroad from Concord to Sanbornten Bridge, exclusive of engineering and incidental ex- penses, is $215,176, or about $12,000a mile, This is the portion of the road recontly opened. From Sanborn- ton Bridge to Lake Village, 11 miles more, the cost a: estimated, will be $168,343, or rising $15,000 a mile.— This portion is ina good state of forwardness, About 20,000 dollars have been expended between the Luke Villago and Rumney. The charter of the company authorizes the extension of the road to Haverhill, and allows till 1855 to complete the undertaking. The direc- tors propose to push the road forward to Haverhill with all the despatch consistent with keeping the corpora- tion, as it has been, in a safe and sound condition.— The directors think the road may be opened to Ply- mouth next year. The stockholders of the Boston and Worcoster Rail- road, at a special meeting, voted unanimously to ac- cept the act of the Legislature authorizing the in- crease of the capital stock of the corporation ; and to authorize the directors to create new stock, to such amount as they judge necessary for the purposes of the corporation. The directors have given notice that subscriptions will be received for new stock to the amount of $700,000, at par, from holders of stock on the 17th inst., in the proportion of one share for each five shares 80 holden—such subseription to be made, and 50 per cent of the amount to be paid, on or before the Ist of June next. The directors of the Western Railroad corporation have declared a half yearly dividend of four per cent., payable on the Ist of July, to holders of stock on the 31st of May. The gain in the receipts for the six months past, is about $40,000, On the Ist of June an assessment of thirty dollars per share is payable upon the new stock, which will be entitled to the next divi- dond, payable on the Ist January. The subscription list for converting four millions of the Reading Railroad debt into seven per cent shares, ‘was opened in Boston on Saturday morning last,and at 2 o'clock P. M. one half of the amount had been sub- scribed for. The remaining four-tenths required by the conditions, will probably come harder ; and unless the bond holders generally come forward and accede to the measure, the effect upon the credit of the corpo- ration, weighed down as it is with an enormous debt, without any means of payment, must be disastrous, The indebtedness of the company maturing prior to 1860, is hanging like # millstone about its neck, crip- pling its energies and depreciating its securities, ‘The annual meeting of the Providence and Worces- ter Railroad Company was held in Providence on Monday. The number of directors was reduced from twenty-five to fifteen, The receipts of the road, sinc” the opening, were reported to be $80,000 ; current ex- ponses not ascertained, being blended with construc- tion account, but estimated at 40 per cent of the gross earning. The whole cost of the road is estimated at $1,800,000. The union of this road with the Stoning- ton and Providence railroads, has had a favorable in- fluence upon the income of all, and the local travel of each, hereafter, will show a handsome increase, The same depot answers for these threo roads, and passen- gers from Boston, New York, or along the line of the | Providence and Woreestor road, can be transferred from one to the other, without that delay which exist- ed before the ferry at Providence was abolished. The Providence and Woreester Railroad has been one of the most successful lines in New England—not an accident has occurred in the running of its passenger trains, and its engincers are among the most skilful in ‘he country, The road passes through a populous ved since “ foreign ports. nort Ports, ist Se Trew tS ince 1s. | X.Outng May 618 ras i ty Florida, May 4: 131,018 Hom ‘Texas, Al ext manufacturing section of country, and its business 1s almost exclusively of a local character. » | The annexed statement exhibits the msvements of | cotton in the United States, up to the latest dates this season, compared with those for the correspond- ing period in the previous season:— Movements or Corron ty rue Unitep States, r Total exportsto Shipments to #13 i449 1 .

The depreciation in prices has been about equal to the increased exportation. If we take tho quotations current in Liverpool the last of April, as data, the decline in prices averaged about fifty per cent., while the increased shipments amounted to about forty-nine per cent, The above table, therefore, shows what an immense quantity of this staple has been literally thrown away. We received as much for 911,099 bales last year, as will be received for 1,365,063 bales this year, besides the loss in the expenses of transportation, &c., of a much greater quantity. So far as this staple is concerned there has not been any decrease in the value of exports ; but in the shipments of breadstuffs, theréhas been an immense falling off, the variation in value being almost wholly confined to these articles, Stock Exchange. ‘Trea Notes Ge 102, Bshe Sh'& Wor RRUAS. 27 9000 do 123g do 2534 ‘800 War Bounty Loan 97" 25 = do 2 500 Mexi demaity 91 35 «= do Be Bt 175 do 26 108g 50 do 2634 5000 do los 25 do 268) 3000 Reading Bonds 53,15 N Haven & Hart RR 91 1000 Reading Mtg Bds 614g 150L Island RR = snw 2814 2000 do 613g 100 do. mw 23 7 shs State Bk Sr 60 do 2s, 24 Del and Hudson scrip 19214 50 do peo 2h 400 Farmers’ Loan 7.

The Baltimore Convention. “The Campbells are coming.” The delegates tothe Baltimore national democratic convention are dropping in by detachments, from the South and the West—fi Tennessee, from Kentucky, om from Ohio, from Michigan, from Mississippi, from Virginia—and not one mon of them knows what isto be done.

We give up the chances of Mr, Polk. Ho would be drowned in the harbors and rivers of the West. He would be snagged along the Mississippi, grounded in the Ohio, and wrecked within sight of every harbor along the lakes. Besides, we believe he has no. notion, no desire, of running again. He has said so, from Baltimore to Augusta in Maine; and from the shores of the Kennebec back to the city of Trenton, he has repeated the asseveration, He has had four years, his health is delicate, he has a competency, and after a rest of four years in recuperative retirement, he may be called out again.

Prince John and his balance-of-power- party must be conciliated. Not one of the old stagers, not even Mr. Woodbury, we fear, will suffice for that. New York, and the barnburners of New York, must have a name upon the ticket; first or second, they musthave a name, You can. not place them first without you take Gen. Worth; but it is feared that he is too new a democrat, having changed front in Mexico—not to the enemy in front, but to his old friends in the rear. If any other man is selected from the North, for President, New York must_be left off the ticket altogether, and that may suffice to lose New York, and to lose the election. We must have a drum and fife, and we must have New York on the loco ticket. Considering Worth to be in the condition of the Duchess d’Or- leans with the Count of Paris—that is, ‘* too la where shall we get the drum and fife, so as to give mpire the second on the ticket? for the drum aad fife ought to lead in the march, We must go have Gen. fe Houston, immortal and invin ‘elaman, Gen.
