Of the whole number, four mills are working full time, with full complement of hands, and two more with a portion of their hands; these six concerns were pre- viously working short time. Of the total number of work people employed, 1,000 more are on full time, who were previously on short time. and out of work. As regards the staple trade of the district, four more mills are on full time, employing 1,252 more operatives fully, 977 of whom were previously on short time, and about 350 stopped. The comparative state of the two weeka, as regards the operatives employed in the cotton mills, is now as follows:—This week, 19,855 full time, 3,156 short, and 5,203 stopped; last week, 18,608 full time, 4,133 short, and 5,568 stopped. ‘The home failures announced this week are, Messrs.

The same intelligence operated unfavorably on the money and share market in London. Markets. Loxpos Mowry Manxet, Friday, May 12—P. M.— The English funds were heavy to-day, at a fall, at one time, of nearly 1 per cent upon the highest prices of yesterday. Various reasons were ascribed as the cause of the depression, Continental news of an un- favorable character was assigned by some persons, but the one which, more than any other, had the greatest influence was a continuance of sales unconnected with foreign intelligence. Consols, from being in the carly part of the morning quiet at 844, quickly receded to 83% for money, and $3! for account, A little re- action, however. took place previous to the termination of business, and the Inst prices were 83% to % for money, and 83% for account. ‘The transactions ‘were heavier, and more numetous than for some days past, principally for present transfer, Baxx or Exatanp.

There was a fair at- tendance of buyers at our market this morning. Wheat and flour sold steadily at about Tueaday’s prices, Oats and barley were held for a small advance. Beans were 6d per quarter dearer. The business of the day, how- ever, was in Indian corn and corn meal for Ireland. at very full prices, but at no quotable improvement.

Flour, also, being taken very sparingly by consumers alone. scarcely sustained the decline of Friday, Malting barley, of which little remains over, was unaltered in value; ‘and grinding samples, as well ae malt, were saleable on rather higher terms’ Beaus and peas were more difficult to sell, and the turn cheaper. Oats of good mealing quality, commanding afair degree of attention, moved rather freely at late prices; inferior kinds, however, in order to effect sales, were slightly depressed in value, Oatmeal dull, but not lower, Indian corn, upon the renewal of a lively demand for Ireland, fully supported the reduced rates of Friday; and corn meal was more readily disposud of at 11s 6d to 12s per barrel, Liverroot Corton Marker, May 13.—The sales of eotton to-day will amount to about 4500 bales.

By the arrival of the steamer Hibernia, we are enabled to place before our readers some extreme- ly important and interesting intelligence from France, Italy, Austria, and other parts of Europe. From all points, the news is important. As re- gards the establishment of a republic in France, there is everything to be hoped, and nothing to be feared. The provisional government have sur- rendered their power into the hands of the Nation- al Assembly, the direct representatives of the people, who have elected an executive committee of government, consisting of five persons, viz.: Arago, Garnier Pages, Marie, Lamartine and Ledru Rollin, who, in their turn, have appointed a ministry to superintend the several bureaux of the government. Thus far, at all évents, every thing has gone on well. A safe and quiet transfer of the power temporarily vested in the members of the late provisional government, by the circumstances growing out of the overthrow of the government of Louis Philippe, has been made to an executive committee, appoint- ed by the delegates of the people. The National Assembly have now before them the duty of form- ing a constitution suited to the wishes and wants of the people, and capable of making France what her people have long desired her to be—a republic in the most liberal sense of the term. That such a constitution will be formed, and that it will be found to be adequate to the wants of that country, we have every reason to believe. There is every thing, thus far to encourage such a hope ; and it is highly probable that the result will prove that the men who have been drawn to the surface of the political waters, by the upheaving of the revolu- tion, will be found competent to guide the ship of State, and steer her clear of all shoals and quick- sands, hidden or unhidden, that may be in her course. By the latest news from France we are informed that an order, emanating from Paris, had been re- ceived at Bolougne, directing the French coast to be placed in an attitude of defence. From this cir- cumstance alone, independent of the effervescent state in which the whole of Europe was at the last accounts, there is room for believing that the new government of France apprehends coming in con- flict with some of their neighbors. This may or may not have been the cause of the order; but itis evident that the best policy which France can maintain at the present time, is to assume a posi- ion of strength, a stand that would deter aggres- sion, and assure her ill-wishers that she was abundantly capable of resisting attack, and defend- ing her territory against all her foes, inevery part of Europe. One of the most flattering evidences of the signs of the times in France, is the retirement of Louis Blane, the head, front and embodiment of the principles of Fourierism, or Socialism, and the de- feat, by unanimous assent, of a Fourierite mea- sure which he brought to the notice of the National Assembly. This social monster, which so proudly and defyingly raised its unseemly head, and threatened to undo what it cost the blood of hundreds to accomplish, has been com- pletely and irrevocably repudiated by the good sense of the National Converstion, and its abettor and supporter has been compe led to surrendcr und retii Here is ground sufficient on which to build the most sanguine hopes of the permanency of the new order of things in that highly favored country. The next point of interest to which the eyes of the American people will be directed, is Rome ; and from the intelligence whicl, we have received from that city, it appears that the City of the Seven Hills lias been the scene of some wonderful changes within a week. The Sovereign Pontiff has been deposed from his temporal authority by his subjects, in consequence of his revoking a de- claration of war against Austria, ane placed under restraint in the Castle of St. Angela, He has thus been enveloped in the conflagration which he him- self ignited; but whether it will result in the total annihilation of his power asa temporal prince, is in the womb of the future. The English press confidently think that it will, and th at, hereafter, his holiness and his successors will ye merely the spiritual head of the Catholic Churef, without any temporal power ; but in this, as in ogher assertions and predictions by the English newspaper writers, the wish may be father to the thonght. On taking a glance at the map, there is no coun- try in Europe which can be set down as ina state repose, Wars and rumors of wars reach the « from every point of the compass. For full and authentic details of the present eon- dition of that part of the world, we refer our read- ers to the copious extracts from our foreign files, which we publish im to-day’s paper, and to the graphic and lengthy letters fram our numerous cor- respondents in all parts of Earope, which we shall give in to-morrow’s Herald. | of the democracy in this State do, in the position | in the firet place, and afterwards by the proceedings Tho subject witieh moet agitates the minds of politicians at the present time, is, what will the Whig National Convention do? Whom will they nominate ? and what will the barnburning section in which they find themselves, by their own action of the Bultimore Convention, and the nomination of General Cass as the democratic candidate for the Presidency ? The organ of the Barnburners, in this city, is highly incensed at the conduct of the Convention, and repudiates General Cass. C. C. Cambreleng and his men, swear horribly, and vow that the vote of New York shall never be cast for General Cass. They cannot back out of the position in which they find themselves, and retain their stand- ing and reputation as men pledged to the support of a principle which they deemed of paramount im- portance to the interests of their party. ‘The door of the democratic party has been virtually shut against them, and they have nothing to rest upon but their Wilmot proviso. The Barnburning organ in Albany asserted, be- fore the nomination of the Convention was made known, that come weal or come wo,” whether their delegates were admitted or not, they would not abate one jot from the position they assumed. At any time previous to the meeting of the Con- vention at Baltmore, they could, with some grace at least, have retraced their steps to a certain ex- tent, sufficiently so, at all events, to save a show of consistency ; but now there is no escape. They are committed, body and soul; and more than that, their pride has been hurt, and the nature of the hostility between them and the old Hunkers, has assumed more malevolence than ever. It is a matter of extreme doubt whether General Cass could be elected without the vote of New York, even conceding to him a liberal share of the elec- toral suffrages. Under these circumstances, therefore, it is a matter of great importance to the whigs, to ponder well on what they are about to do in the conven- tion which is soon to meet in Philadelphia. If they nominate General Taylor, the popularity of that distinguished leader among the masses of the people, of all parties, together with the vote of the Bamburners, would, in all probability, secure to him this State. That the Barnbumers would go for him, is highly probable, from the indications which they threw out in the Herkimer convention, some time since. That section of the democracy may, however, nominate that distinguished mili- tary man themselves, and rally under his banner as a refuge from the position in which they are now placed. If they should take this course, it would furnish an additional reason for the whig convention to nominate him, and strong proof of the hypocrisy of the Barnburners. One thing is clear and evident, that the demo- cracy have put forward their strongest man—one being identified with the party for a great length of years, besides possessing popularity in the Northernand Western States, and the other close- ly identified with the glorious actions that crown- ed our arms with victory in the recent war with Mexico. They mutually aid and assist each other. ‘What the one lacks is supplied by the other, and vice versa. It will take a strong ticket to defeat them ; but not a stronger one than the whigs have in their power to form. General Taylor, from the Tainan. itic Reronra.--We have received a gregt Marly complaints of the inaccuracies and blunders connnitted in our telegraphic reports, during the sitting of the Convention in Baltimore As a general thing, the public attribute those blun- ders to the telegraphic operators; but we have the | best reason for believing that it is done so erro- | neously. During each day’s sitting of the Con- | vention, We received telegraphic reports from two sourees—oue through certain telegraphic reporters, | who make it a business to transmit news, bac! wards and forwards, hitherwards and thithe wards, upwards and downwards, around, about and every way, for all newspapers and all journals that are willing to buy and pay forthe news. This class of reporters are very competent men; but from their system they are exceedingly careless and negligent in preparing and transmitting their intelligence. We know thisto be a fact; for du- ring last week, when our own special reporters transmitted intelligence to us, we received it from | the operators at both ends with perfect accuracy, almost to the marking of a comma. We instance principally the transmission of Mr. Polk’s letter, declining a nomination, which was sent to us by our own reporters in Baltimore, and exclusively published in the Herald—from which, by the way, it was stolen by almost every paper in the city, without giving us any credit. We are satisfied, therefore, from our own expe- rience in telegraphic reporting, that the operators of the telegraph deserve less blame for the inaccu- racies that appear in the reports, than the reporters who collect the news, and furnish them with the manuscript at either end of the line. Neither do these blunders happen, as we have stated, with our special reporters, who write full and correct re- ports in English, and give them to the operators. The blunders arise with the news reporters, who have attempted to invent a new mode of condens- ing language, by using particular words, in order to reduce the expense of reporting, while they in- crease very much the risk of accuracy. We are therefore constrained, from our experience, to con- denm fully and irrevocably the system of attempt- ing to condense reports and save expense by the use of any mode of cyphers in telegraphic commu- nications. It cannot be done with accuracy and intelligibility. Two Democratic Canpipates ror THE Presi- pency.—The Post of last evening published the following :— We understand that ihe regular democratic delegates from New York to the Baltimore Convention have re- solved to calla convention of the democracy of this State, to be held on the 22d of June, for the purpese of nominating a candidate for the Presidency, in the ab- Gall of any nomination by the Baltimore Conven- ion.

Nor is this feeling confined to those re- gions of the country. It is participated in by the people of the North, and of the whole Union. His name carries with it the prestige of victory. Under these circumstances, therefore, it is a subject of the greatést importanee to the integrity and future career of the whig party, who they nominate at their Convention in Philadelphia, as an opponent to General Cass. If they nomi- nate General Taylor, it would make the prettiest race, on the political course, that we have ever had in this country. It would be neck and neck, for almost the whole distance, the best man running the heat at the end by abouta length. It would be an interesting canvass, in other respects, too; for it would, in all probability, be the breaking up of po- litical parties in this country, as they are at pre- sent organized. There would be a fusion of the Barnburners and of the friends of the old hero in every State, into the whig ranks; and by the time his term of service came to an end, there would be new issues, new divisions, and new subjects, in difference between our people; and the conse- quence would probably be, that the present leaders and wire pullers of the whig and locofoco factions, would be lost sight of, and the people would orga- nize under the banners of new men whom the ci cumstances of the times would develope. We are in a new age—and must have new issues. Srrawnegnies anv TueatricaLs.—A genius that is limited to one thing, hardly deserves the name of genius. Niblo, great in theatricals, great in catering for the public amusement, is not as well known to be great in gardening, in raising flowers, cultivating strawberries and in planting grapes. We remember Niblo many years ago in the old Bank Coflee House. There the wing of his genius first began to flutter, and it has taken many beau- tiful flights since thatera. He has just taken the Astor Place Theatre, and will soon open it with fresh novelties for the summer season. But he has been for some time very busy in another depart- ment of human genius ; and this is, in the cultiva- tion of strawberries and grapes, on a beautiful place on the East river, near Hellgate. His place there as worth seeing, and his fruits and flowers present almost a sample of Paradise as it was before the serpent entered the garden and withered all the beauties, which had been planted by another and a greater hand. From Port av Prixce.—The schooner Tellus arrived at Boston from Jeremie on the 26th instant, and reports that three English vessels of war had arrived at Port au Prince. It is said that the re- ports in relation to the number of persons killed at Port au Priuce, had been much exagerated. A merchant of credibility, writes that foreigners are respected in person and property; but it is suggested that our government ought to send some vessels of war there, to secure the continuance of this respect, so far as our countrymen are concerned. Our merchants there, it is said, feel the want of due protection. Annivat prom Havana.—Tho packet ship Norma, Captain Ellis, arrived yesterday from Havana, whence she sailed on the 17th. We have received no papers by her ; therefore, have no means of knowing the news Captain Ellis is usually very punctual in supplying our news collector with late files, and we regret that he should have omitted us on this occasion. ‘We loarn that the Norma was ready for sea, with her passengers on board, on the 10th inst, From some anonymous communications made to the Custom Houso authorities, they were induced to seize her on a charge of smuggling out more segars than had been cleared at the customs, On careful examination of her cargo, however, 17 segare over the number mani- fosted (over two millsons) were discovered. ‘The ves- sel was then allowed to proceed to sea, after having suffered seven days delay, and been to very heavy ex- yonses. Captain E. has protested against the proceed- ing; and we think the matter out to be looked into fully by our government.

COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS. MONEY MARKET. é Saturday, May 27—6 P. M. ‘There was more activity in the stock market to-day, Seven days’ later intelligence from Europe came to hand by the Hibernia, soop after the adjournment of the first board; and the first effect ot the news in the street was favorable. As soon as the accounts were more thoroughly digested, the improvement in prices was lost. The advices from the other side do not amount to much, in a commercial point of view ; po- litically, they are exceedingly interesting, and are of a charactor calculated to create considerable excitement in this country. At the first board, to-day, Long Island advanced \{ percent; Farmers’ Loan, 3s; Harlem, ; Morris Ca- nal, 34; Reading Railroad, ; North American Trust, 44; all others closed at prices current yesterday. The amount of tolls received on all the New York canals in each of the following years, during the third week in May, and the totals up to the 22d of May, were as annexed:— New Youx Sratr Canats.

The quantity of coal transported on the Schuylkill canal forthe week ending May 25th, was 13,408 tons, and the aggregate for the season 84,566 tons. The shipments of coal on the Lehigh canal for the past week were 20,883 tons, and the aggregate for the sea- son 113,380 tons. Avery important decision bas recently been made in the District Court of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, in favor of the Bank of the United States, The amount involved was not large, but the points at issue were im- portant. The facts elicited during the progress of the case are of interest to the present stockholders in that institution. Baxx or tHe Unitep States. The Globe Bank of Massachusetts vs. The Bank of the United States, defendant, and Richard H. Bayard, James Robertson, James 8. Newbold, Herman Cope and Thomas 8. Taylor, Trustees of the Bank under the assignments September. 1841, Garnishees.—This yery important a tion has been brought to test the validity of the assi; ments by the Bank of the United States of Septem 4 and 6, 1841, and to recover an amount of assets suffi- cient to pay the claim of the Globe Bank from the as- signees under those assignments. The Globe Bank ob- tained a judgment against the United States Bank, in March, 1842, and issued the attachment execution upon which this proceeding is based, alleging the assignments to be void. It appeared in evidence that the garnishees have received since the assignment the sum of $131,250 from the Reading Railroad Company, and that they have in hand now over $300,000. The claim of the plain- tiffs is for $10,831 47, with interest from March 26, 1842. ‘Tho history of the difficulties of the bank, which were necessary to a thorough understanding of the facts of the casa, was given during the course of the trial.— In_ 1836 the Bank was incorporated with a capital of $26,000,000. In consequence of the state of the times and imprudent investments, it became embarrassed, and at the time when a resumption of specie payments was preposed. was unable to come into that measure, without aid from the city banks. Ten of these corpo- rations agreed to loan the United States Bank $5.000,- 000 in order to put it into a situation to enable it to re- sume with the other banks. It was, however, agreed, that if the United States Bank should be compelled to suspend, the city banks should be made secure. The resumption took place, but after fifteen days the Uni- ted States Bank again suspended, and on the lat of May, 1841, made an assignment to five trustees, of pro- perty worth about $7,000,000, as security for the loans of theeity banks. An act of Assembly of Pennsylvania requires ‘security to be given by assignees; im this case there was no difficulty, as the banks entered surety for the assignoes who had charge of their inte- rosts. But the United States Bank was in such straits that further assigninents wore almost inevitable. The greatest obstacle was as to surety. ax the amount of assets, nominally $24,000,000, would preclude any one from giving surety to the heavy amount which would have been required, Application was, therefore, made to the legislature for the passage of a special act, au- thorizing the bank to make an assignment, and that the assignees should have power to act without surety This provision was engrafted upon the act of 4th May. 1841, commonly called the Relief law, That bill was serene By the Governor with his vote. On the ith of May, 1841, a bill, almost the same in words as the section im the Relief law, passed both houses and was signed by the Governor. Subsequently the Re- lief law passed both houses by the constitutional majority of two-thirds, and became a law, notwith- standing the veto, Consequently there are two acts thor! ng the assignment without surety, which are nearly identical in words. In conformity with these acts, the bank, on June 7, 1841, made another asei; | th | cals, Maga | inform publishers nent of assets, nomit valued at 000,000, for the benefit of watt, peemanlly prt It wae hoped t this latter east grimant would relieve the corpora- tion from preastug demands, and give an opportunity for beneticial arrangement. it was thought that the directors of tho bank had the authority by the charter to make an assignment for the beneiit of creditors, but | the acts of the 4th and Sth May, 1841, gave the ste holders « right to determine, at a general meeting whether an assigument should be and provided that if it was so ordered the trustees should be compe- | tent to act without eurety. The hopes that elaims would not be pressed, were vain, for many suits we: commenced in the summer of 1841, and tember judgments to the amount of tered against the bank. In order to t the whe property being swept away, assignments of the bals of the assets were made on the 4th and sth tember. 1841, to the trustees, who are garnishees in this | t suit. The assignments . in the first place, | to indemnify sureties for stay of execution on judy ments against the bank ; second, to pay off judgments obtained prior to the assignment, and which were liens | on the real estate ; thirdly, to idemnify another su and, lastly, for the equal distribution of the proc among the creditors. These assignments of Sep ber, 1841, are contested in this proceeding. The grounds | taken are: First, that the band had no authority by rcharter, or the common law, to make the assign. | ments, because the assignments being on. its Property must necessarily work a destruction of the ontire corporate powers. Second, that the assignments were not made in the manner prescribed by the acts of 4th and Sth May, 1841, and wore therefore void | judge charged adversely to the plaintiffs on both these points, and the jury found for the defendants Stock Exchange $1300 Troas Notes 6's 10244 2000 United Stata 6's 67 Wy ‘3800 Kentucky 6's wo 20000 Pennsylvania o's 100 North Am Trust 6's 60 do on 20 Firemens' Insurance 6) 5 Hudson River na 500 Canton Co do 25 Auburn & Rochester rlem RR a. $5000 Treasury Notes Hai 1000 Ohio 7's q 250 shs Long Island RR 10 do. 2 50 2 do bow 203¢ 100 19 do 2088 Marricd, 5 , 6th January. last, by the Rev.
