We invite the at- tention of all who wish to be acquainted with the wonderful history of this wonderful day, as it passes before our eyes. It will be seen that France, or Paris, which 1s the same thing, has been in a state of considerable fermentation. Can mide het ~encnos Ravarares,—We are glad tose press of our large cities is generally out in favor of decency and propriety, the Presidential election, now taking place. The songs, log-cabins, revel- ries and orgies; the dranken frolics, and all the other exhibitions which disgraced and disgusted the country during the last eight or ten years, are in a fair way of being changed for the better. The great revolution of the old whig and loco- foco factions, which has taken place under the po- pular name of General'Taylor, will be the signal and the commencement of a change in the public taste in the manner of conducting elections. In the recent struggles between the different factions, as shown in the tumultuous dssemblages called ratification meetings, we see only the struggle be- tween the moral and immoral elements of popular opinion, The old party leaders, with all their tricks, are going to the wall; and those who are about to take their places in the present contest, should be careful to mark and note the signs of the ed, which are generally reservoirs of all the filth and abuse of a political struggle, ought to be aban- doned, and discontinued by the public, just as much asjthe vulgar drunken minstrelsy of some of the recent Presidential elections. Let the public only patronize those regular journals, published regular- ly and possessing a permanent reputation, which are calculated to give correct intelligence, without the degradation of the filth of the political leader | of the day. That is the true course. Tur Vomro After the terrible campaign of | Russia, the French troops which escaped from the | suflerings of that fearful retreat, on their return to | Europe from the icy regions of the North, earned | death and disease with them into every town in | which they entered. War is generally followed | close upon the heels by its no less alarming con- | comitant, pestilence. If the defeated warriors it be otherwise? Who has ever stood on the * wharf of a steamboat landi and seen the long imprisoned steam let suddeniy out, and heard how | violently it roars as it rushes from its confine- ment? Thatis Paris at this moment. Those who never saw s t, are almost frightened to death, and expect every moment to see the boat blow up and everything with it. Such are some i of the correspondents from Paris, and some of the green newspaper editc Tur Common Covncm axp tue Jupers.—A controversy has been for some time carried on between the judges of the Supreme Court and the 3 Common Council, in relation to fitting up additional es court rooms for facilitating the transaction of public | % business ; but withont having been brought to a. nae .efffetinite or beneficial result, Underthe old system oe zal jurisprudence, there was a very general, ‘ and it must he admitted, a well founded complaint of the dilatoriness of legal proceedings, which, after all, arose mainly from the t increase of | ion, and the spread of commerce, manufac- tures, and wealth, consequent thereon.

We understand that the disbanded troops of that grand army of peerless heroes, who captured Vera Cruz, who stormed Cerro Gordo, who took Chapultepec by ult, who defeated army after army of the | enemy, and entered victorious into the city, and | intothe Halls of the Montezumas, are on their | way to our city, We say honor to the brave, sympathy to the sufferer, respect to the soldier, a good, generous and kind reception to all of | them.

Intelligence from Maracaibo—vAffairs in Venezuela—The Ruin of a Fine Country, $e. I regret the departure of the Almatia, for your port, does not enable me to give you all the particulars from Maricnibo of the evacution thereof by the Paczistas, and its occupation by the government troops under Marina; but from what I can Jearn from reliable sources, it appears that Serrano, the Governor of Ma- racaibo, who sent a flag of truce to General Monagas, at Altagracia, (immediately opposite Maracaibo, in t! lagoon.) and who demandgd in terms of capitulation an “indulto’? for all concerned against the government a respect for all persons and property, and the reten- tion of grades for those who had seceded from the ser- vice, failed, and received an answer that such would be the case as far as concerned all but twenty persons, to whom he reserved the right of inflicting the punish- ment of death, exile for life, or any other that he might deem proper. General Monagas had, in the person of Alexander Boyer, French consul, and also in the per- ron of the Spanish consul ut Maracaibo, the means of tampering with many in the town, which, however, was discovered, and Boyer, fearing the consequences, left with his family and came to Curacoa. ‘The clearest proof has been produced against the former, and he has gone to Caraccas to clear himself before the French charge Waffairs. General Marino having found the three generally known of the Rio Suico defend- ed by the troops from Maracaibo, received a communi- cation from the town informing him of a fourth pass, but little known, and higher up, over which he crossed. General Domingo Fernandes was sent with 400 men to oppose him; but finding that Marino had alread: crossed, with the greater part of his troops, retired. ‘The town was evacuated upon their return. Governor Serrano, having sent all the women and children of those compromised, away, embarked, and proceeded | with the troops to the bar. Tne squadron of Monagas | fled—whither. as yet, we know not—thus raising the | blockade; and those of the so-called oligarchies came out, and the last news we have from them, they had touched, on the 10th June, at Los Taques, on the coast of Paraguana, and I expect the next account wo will hear of them’ will be that they have been joined b Hermingildo Garcia, with his two vessels, iaden wit arms, ammunition, &e, &c., and will have made] a de- scent on the coast of Cumana, The vessels are ten in number—one corvette, and seven well armed schooners, the others being tenders. They have on board about 800 effective troops, commanded by men who know their ail is at stake—men for whose valor I ennnot for moment doubt; and in my candid opinion, the difticul- ties are but now just commencing, and we may look for a general rising'in the oriental provinces a3 soon as they shall be supplied with arms.

We have to-day, a report from Coro that General Monagas, with his 600 men from Altagracia, have ta- ken the road via Burquisimato for the capitol—having heard of the sailing of the squadron, and suspecting their movements and the worst consequences—but he will, I fear, be too late. Reports also sas, (and it is acknowledged by (Gen’l. M.'s friends here,) that Gen’l.

Managers, however, must put up with slack seasons, as well as other folks—the public taste is sometimes very capricious. To-morrow, however, will be a grand day for them all, and every place of public amusement will, doubtless, be filled to overflowing. They are all making great preparations; and, at the following houses, two performances will be given, vis.,in the afternoon and evening—Bowery, Chatham, Niblo’s, Castle Garden, Christy’s Minstrels, and the other places about town. Great preparations have been made and extra attractions will be offered, at all the various places of amusement. Bowery Turatne.—J. R. Scott and Miss Taylor have been performing here during the past week. Scott concluded the engegement which he commenced ‘a couple of weeks Sf and was forced to retire from in consequence of indisposition. His benefit was tolerabl well attended, and the patrons of the house in whic he may be said to have established his reputation, still look with a kindly eye on him. Miss Taylor has been performing in a piece adapted from the French, called the “Rag Picker of Paris.”” It wasa first rate piece, a lit- tle too long, perhaps, for these warm evenings; stillit has become a great favorite. Miss M. asthe Parisian sempstress, was excellent; and Marshall, as Father Jean, the Ragpicker, ‘was a3 correct and judicious as he al is performer has become a very great wery; his reception, on Saturday, when t half an hour’s notice, to perform the , in place of Mr. Scott, was a most en- ‘husiastic one. Sue! dispppolitmonte to the public are very unpleasant; but the Bowery is fortunate in having an actor like Mr, Marshall, who can so cleverly filla gap at a moment's notice. During the coming week, there will be great times at the Bowery. Miss Taylor remains there for a short time longer. The drama of the “Wizard of the Wave,’’ which produced so much excitement last winter, is to be revive this evening, and will probably have along run; farces and comedies; withall the admirable adjuncts of the Bowery company, &e., will also be played; and no one will be able to complain that they cannot find amusement enough. Nipio’s.—The Viennoise dancers, and amusing farces, admirably acted by Chippendale, John Sefton, Walcott, and the rest of the dramatic company, have been the attractions here during the past week. M. Bihin, the Belgian giant, has also appeared in tableaux, &c. He is an immense man, and well worth seeing for his size alone, Niblo may well be styled the Napoleon of summer theatres; every thing he gets up is tasty and elegant, and indeed his’ establishment has become as mucha matter of necessity in New York, as Croton water. The charming Viennoise children have delighted all the town; they seem to be quite in an appropriate sphere on the boards of the elegant Astor Place Opera House. They will perform again this evening, aud the Belgian giant will also appear ‘The farce of “A Kissin the Dark’? will make up the evening’s amusements. Cuaruam Turatre.—Mr. Chanfrau has returned from Boston, and been playing in “New York as It Is’? every evening during the past week, The extraordi- nary fidelity and truth of his delineaton of that class known as the b’hoys, has placed Mr. C. prominently before the public, and he will, no doubt, always be at | the head of this class of character. It was a happy thought in the author of this piece to represent the b'hoy as he really is, without exaggerating him any any more than what was absolutely necessary for stage effect’ The stage characters, generally, are beyond all proportion, The Yorkshiremen, Irishmen, French men, country squires, and all the stereotype charac- ters to be found figuring in every farce and comedy, generally bear as much resemblance to the character asa piece of chalk does to cheese. In Mose, however, the author has merely transferred to the stage the ac- tual character, as it@s to be seen every day around us, | and Mr, Chanirau has ated it with qual, exactness; hence its great popularity. We hope that future play- wrights will take @ hint from the suecess of “New York as It Is,” and favor us with naturel pictures tof ever | daylife; they may depend on it the public will apprec! |-ate them. ‘The farce of a “Glance at New York’? will be substituted for “New York as It Is,” this even- | ing. Miss Mestayer will take the part of the counter type of Mose, viz, Lixo; Sykesy, Mose, and all the other | dramatis persone. will shine out as large as life. Bar- ney Williams will also appear ina couple of Irish farces. ‘The season at the Chathamis drawing to a ciose—but it has been a most profitable one, we should think, and has done much to bring the house into notice. Castix Ganpex.—The warm sultry weather which wo have had during the past week, has been just the thing for Castle Garden, which is, probably, or indeed positively, the coolest place in the city, We have so frequently ealled attention to its natural and acquired advantages of situation for a summer place of resort, and it has been visited by so many thousands, that we need not now repeat our encomiuins on it. Besides ail | these excellences, French & Heiser have made many improvements lately in the entertainments which they present to their patrons. In addition to the excel- lent dramatic company, under the direction of Mr. Holland, they have engaged that favorite family, the | Hausors, the successors to the famous Rainers, to give | concerts between the dramatic pieces. They thus provide a series of most elegant and refined amuse- ments every evening. To-night the fatces of the “ Doarding School,” and “ Family Jars,” with the Hauser concert, will constitute the amusements. Cnristy’s sTRELs.—These universal favorites inue on the even tenor of their way, singing, dan- and joking to full hotwes, night after night, in unrivalled manner. They are‘ths most polished negroes that have ever come among us, | | andthe immense patronage they have re and r merits and dotermination to fulfil their contracts with the to the letter, They commence the week this g with a first rate programme. Baxvanv’s Paxonama.—This unique and original pietu of the lions of the city. No one | o ing it. Lanvard’s name will be | handed down to posterity as the originater and found | er of this species of painting on the mammoth plan; and the Mississippi river, through his means, will be now a familiar scene to thousands who have never stirred from home. Tue Stevenmanxiscne Muscat Company propose giving one of their elegant concerts at the Tabernacle, this evening. Among all the musical novelties of the day, none is @ more beautiful or successful one than this musical company. The music which they pro- duce is the most charming we have ever heard; such perfect harmony, such admirable time, such exquisite taste, 8 seldom found in bands composed of a few indi- | viduals; but in this one, comprising, as it dees, no less than nineteen persons, it is really surprising. They will give a full programme this evening, and we recom- mend all to go and hear them Mr. Marone Raymonv.—This gentleman with his wife and three daughters have returned to Boston, after a very successful Southern tour. The “frish enings” are highly spoken of, and reported to be well attended, aw Intelligence, Supreme Count, Julyl—Ix Cuampers—Before Justice Hurlburt.—Discharged.—Two young men, one named Chase, and the other Howell, wore discharged this morn- ing from the United States army by Mr. Justice Hurl- but, on the ground of being minors when they enlist- ed. His honor made it a part of the order that they should return their bounty and clothing.

Stnocx py Licutninc.—During the storm of Satur- day afternoon, the Hell Gate pilot boat Four Sisters, lying in the Sound, about a mile northeast of Sand’s ‘oint, was struck by lightning,and in less than ten mi- mutes sunk, leaving but a few feet of her foremast above the water, ‘I'here were on board at the time, Mr. Ma- 80n, one of the pilots, ex-Alderman Guion, and a boat hand, all of whom were in the cabin. The fluid struck the mainmast, and shivering it in pieces, descended to the cabin, caused a general smashing among berths, lockers, dishes, and setting fire to several things, among which was a basket, containing cherries, from which they were eating ; the whole party most miracu- lously escaping uninjured. ‘he chimney of the house No. 147 Delancey street, was struck about the same time, but did very little damage.

He called at tho house the next day for an explanation, when he was informed that it was none of his business if the house was open, besides, he had no right to be making such a noise. Quite grateful, that. Probably, ifthe house had been entered and robbed, it would then have been his business to apprise the inmates that the house was open.

Probably nother Murder.—A man by the name of Thomas Whaley, who resides in a very miserable hole located at No. 00 Orange street, was arrested yesterday by the 6th ward police, on a charge of violently beat- ing his wife, in so horrible a mariner, as to leave her on the ground senseless. Several physicians have examined her person, and from her present appearance, much doubt exisis ns to her recovery, sethe rymptoms denote congestion of the brain. Justice Lothrop committed the prisoner to the tombs, in order to await the rezult. f.—It is well known that North is a great country, and we also, know th. New York isa great city,and great people residiy therein; but above ail, itis remarkable to witness th free and independent notions of emigrants who just lenagunen. our, shores, who scarcely breathe the blessed air of the Western hemisphere, than they become full of independence and freedom, supposing, because they are in a free country, that no laws or justice exist; and, therefore, they are free to act and do just as they please. The police courts of this eity are almost daily the scenes of such ignorant ideas of the newly arrived emigrant; one case, in point, oceurred yesterday, be- fore Justice Lothrop, at the ‘Tombs. A young’ men about nineteen years of age, called John Quinn, was ght into court, before the magistrate, on a charge of stealing from a purse belonging to Jamos O'Harra, four sovereigns, and a gold finger ring, leaving still in | the purse three sovereigns. ‘The justice requested O’Harra to relate his case, which he did, as follows:— He said that himself and wife, and this young man, Quinn, came over from Liverpool tozether, in the same ship, arriving here on Thursday last, and that night they all slept together in one room, and in the morn- at his Feven had been carried off, together with a gold finger ring. Suspicion at once fell upon Quinn, who was gone likewire. Search was made, but without stcce until yesterday, he accidentally’ met Quinn in An- thony street, and on looking at his hand, he discover: ed the indentical ring on one of his fingers. ‘This was encvgh for O’Harra, who caused Quinn's arrest on the charge of stealing the sovereigns and rivg, and likowice his wife, ax he had not been able to find her anywhere. Quinn, on being questioned by O’Harra as to the eause of his acting in this way, replied that he should do just asked—d pleased, as he was ina free country. ‘The magistrate, however, thought otherwise, by locking him upin the Tombs for a further examination, giving him to understand, at the same time, that we have laws in this country, although it was the land of the free, and that men newly arriving in this country were too often led away with the idea that they were at liberty to do and act just as they please, Suc’, it seems, has been the idea of Quinn, from the fact of his taking the liber- ty with his friend O'Harra, easing his purse of four Sovereigns, which was the better half of his money, and, not satisfied with that, but must take off the better half of himself, by carrying off the body of Mrs, Oliar- ra. ‘Thus, from’ the above statement, it will be seen what a mistaken idea the majority of the emigrants have of the laws and regulations of the land of the free and the home of the brave. win Independent Prisoner.—Yesterday morning OMi- cer Boland of the 6th ward police arrested a pretty good looking young woman calling herself Johanna Powers, or more commonly calied Gallows Joe, whom the officer charged before Justice Timpson with being ® common prostitute, haying no visible means of pro- curing a living. Macistrats.—Ofllcer, what charge do you make against this interesting young woman who appears to be so smiling and good natured ? Orricen.—Why, judge, she is but just off the island, rhe is a runaway convict, it was but last week sho was s:nt up by Justice Lothrop for four months on Black- well’s Island, and now she is down again ernising on her old ground again in Cowbay, she says the keepors can’t keep her on the island, Macisrnate—Well, how is this, Joc, that you don't stay on the Island? ‘How do you manage to get off s0 easy? ° ‘The prisoner at this quostion of the magistrate, laughed outright. at the’same time placed her thumb to her nose, saying, no you don’t old fellow, you can't come that no how—(aughter in Court)—that’s my Business. I ‘spose you'd like to know, would’nt you, Just to raico a muse, but that’s my business, old chap: Send me up again for six months if you like, and I'li bet you 50 cents that you can't keep tic there five days, Fo its no use for you to ry it, Ube off again in two days, 1 ean just get off when I please.

Fioop, ar Sr. Lovis—Lives Losr.--The heayy rains of the 2Ist June increased the water in Chouteau’s Pond to such an extent that the dam just above the intersection of Seventh street gave way, the flood rushing through the breach with fearful velocity. The ‘bottom between Fifth and Seventh streets was all overflowed, the water in many instances coming up to the second story windows of houses situated therein. One or two small houses were nearly submerged. Three or four persons we. missing, and were supposed to have found a watery grave. One man was drowned in an attempt to save his property. Many poor families are thrown out of doors, and will lose the greater part, of their effects. The great cause of the inundation of the bottom was owing to the smallness of the arch at Fifth street, which was too limited to afford afree paseage for the flood. The water at last accounts was fast eubsiding.— St. Louis New Eva, 22d ult. Grex.

MONEY MARKET, Sunday, July 26 P.M. During the past week the stock market has been unusually inactive, even for this dull season of year; but prices have not given way much, and there has been no disposition to force stocks upon the mare ket. Money bas been execedingly tight the past week and higher rates of ixterest have beon paid for short loans, than at any previous period within the past tem years, Yesterday was one of the hardest days known for years. The board of brokers adjourned for three days, and all contracts done in that time, were settled yesterday. A large amount was paid in dividends, and the demand for money was not unusually greaty but the seacity was almost unprecedented, ‘This strin- gency will not last long; the scarcity is merely tempo- rary, and hasbeen produced principally by the aceu- mulation of money to pay in for the new loans just made. These loans have been created for the purpose of paying off old loans falling due, and for indebtedness growing out of the war; and as soon as the disburse} ments cemmence, the market will be materially reliey- ed. The limited supply of capital at this juncture hag been produced more by artificial than by natural causes, The commercial classes are comparatively easy in all their financial affairs, and the demand does not come from them, neither is there any steady natura! demand from any source of any importance; but it “ts the immense amount of capital locked up, that ercates the stringency so much complained of ducing the past, week or two, The payments in the shape of interest on government and State loans,dividends from incorpo- rated companies, and the liquidation of loans failing due, in connection with the large sums called in on ac- count of loans just created, have required a larger amount of money than ever known at any previ- ous period within the history of the country. ‘The tem porary withdrawal of such a large sum from the usual channels of trade, could not but have produced a tem- porary stringency in the market, and it is probablo that its duration will not be long enough to create any very serious embarrassment in commercial circles, It is estimated, that at least ten ‘millions of dollars, haye been withdrawn from its legitimate channels of elreu- lation within the past month, to meet payments due yesterday, We trust that a few days will suffice to turn this capital again into the market, and that wo shall soon have some relief from the depression which has so long weighed upon business matters generally) The annexed ta'le exhibits the quotations in this market for the principal speculative stocks for dach dy of the past week, and at the close of the week pre- It will be seen that the sales during the past week have been confined to a few of the fancies:— Qvorations FoR THE PxivcivaL Stocks iv Tar New onk Manne: Sat, Mon, Tues.

There has been no improvement in any in the st, all others remaining the same as quoted at the close of the previous week. The Merchants’ Bank of Baltimore has declared @ half yearly dividend of three per cent, besides paying the City and State taxes on the stock for the present. year, Fancy stocks have, amidst the diftlelties experienced in the money market within tho past week or two, beem very firm, prices not having declined more than one or two per cent, and the probability is, that an advance on most of them will be realized, as soon as capital be- comes more plenty and the banks less restricted in their discounts, As soon as it is settled that the ship- ments of specie have ceased, there will be more confl- dence in commercial affairs, and private exoMits will, without doubt, become eufiecienily re-establithed to give more activity to markets generally, and to the movements of our principal staples; prices for every- thing—for every description of stock securities, and for every variety of merchandise—rule so low, that there is a wide margin for an improvement. We see nothing in the perspective calculated to depress prices and credits to a lower level, and almost any change is likely to be for the better,ain the course of the next ninety deys our harvests WMl all be secured, and the wealth of the country increased several thousand mil- lions of dollars; our exporting staples will be more than doubled, and the raw material for food and raiment, for our own consumption, and for the consumption of any other parts of the world requiring them, will exist within our limits, in the greatest abundance. To give some idea of the immense value of the pro- ducts and manufactures of this country, in cach and every year, we annex a table, compiled from the report of the Commissioner of Patents, for the year 1847, showing the estimated value of the products of labor and capital in the United States for that year:— vue Ustre Value, Wheat, bitchels, $137,094.60 Indian'Corn Hay, tons.
