M., and thus has per- formed the passage, deducting the difference in time, in 12 days and 10 hours. A large portion of the pas- Boge, as appears from various sources, was made against strong easterly winds; and, in comparing it with the passages of the Cunard steamers, it should be borne in mind that the distance to Southampton is 100 miles further than to Liverpool.

MONEY MARKICT. Monday, July 10-6. P. Me Stocks are alldown to-day.

Treasury Notes advanced 3¢, Uticaand Schenectady Railroad ‘i, and Reading Railroad 34. There has beén a moderate demand to-day, for ster- ling exchange, for remittance by this packet, and there is a good supply of bills upon the market. We quote prime bil’s on London at 9'4.a 9% per cent premium; on Faris, 6f22 a 5f20; Amsterdam, 40 a 404; Ham- burg, 2534 a 86; Bremen, 7934 a 80. ‘The money market is gradually getting easier. Loans on callean easily be made at seven per cent, and as soon as good business paper becomes more abundant, the banks will probably discount more freely. The commercial classes have withdrawn themselves so much from the banks, that the demand for money has become very much reduced. Credits have been so much impaired by the revulsion which has swept over the commercial world, that it will bea long time before they are restored to their original standard, and until that event is realized, confidence in mereatitile operations cannot reach proper points, to give much activity to our markets. Government recurities, of all kinds, are steadily im- proving in prices; and now that the war is closed, and no more loans to be made, we have no doubt prices ruling previous to. the commencement of hostilities; will soon again be realized. As for the fancies, more depends upon movements in Wall street than any thing else. ‘There is a small demand for specie for Havre. The packet ship Bavaria carried out $5,000. An election for directors of the Norwichand Wor- ester Railroad Company, for the ensuing year, takes place on Wednesday. John C. Holiand, Esq., who has for several years past been President of this company, has, we regret tolearn, resigned, and his place will be filled by the new Board. Under the administration of Mr. Holland, the affairs of the company have been ju- Aiciously managed, and the running arrangements of the road conducted to the satisfaction of the travelling community. It is stated on good authority that the city of Boston has arranged with the agent of a London banking hheuse for all the money which will be required for completing the water works. The terms had not trans- pired, neither was it stated whether or not a scale of crip bad been made, or merely a loan obtained, In either case, a supply of undoubted bills will be brought into the mar!

Since the 4th of March last, more than five millions of dollars in specie have been exported from this port, notwithstanding which, the returns of seven banks, recontly made, show an increase in this item, of nearly three handred and fifty thousand dollars. ‘We annex a series of tables giving the value of mer- ebandise and the amount of specie imported into and exported from this port in the first six months in each of the past three years : Commence or tHe Port or New Yorr—Vatur oF Imronts, 1816, 1847. 1848 9,789 8,123,173 ‘ 9, 1848, over that of 1847, was $9,404,012, andin 1847 over 1846 $8,062,041, showing about the same oxcess in the first six months of each year.

This is @ most extraordinary statement ; it shows a balance, in 1847 and 1848, varying but $358,359, from each other, after the opposite movements in specie, each year, to such an extent. So faras this port is concerned, the balance is pretty uniform, but we can- not say as much of the foreign trade of the country at large, for the samo period, ‘There are so many influ- ences brought to bear upon the imports and exports of the country, that it is nonsense to attempt to attribute the fluctuations from year to year, colely to any particu- lar measure of the government, or to any movement in the markets. We annex a table, showing the value of imports and exports, and balance of trade for and against us, in cach of the past seven years :— ce oF THE Unitep Stars. Be e 1847.25 101,581,528 15 53,304,744 ‘The last year in this table is the only year of the new tariff; and it will, no doubt, be taken by the friends of that measure as a fair illustration of the practical operations of that act. In making up this | table we have given the last two years of the com- promise tariff, the whole four years of the tariff of 1842, and the first year of the present tariff, ‘The compromise act extended from 1852 to 1842, part of both inclusive, and the duty at the close, or for the last years of that act, ruled very low—lower than under the present revenue tariff. So far as the returns of imports and exports for those years go, it appears that the operation of that act was not very favorable to the commerce of the country ; but these returns should not be taken as @ correct criterion of the effect of the tariff upon this trade. It is well known that, from 1884 (o 1842, the banking system of the country was very much inflated—thaf prices for every article of foreign manufacture, and every article of domestic produce, were very high, which stimulated imports and checked exports; and thus the balance each year was largely against us. In 1842, a change was made in the tariff, and the average rate of duty was raised from twenty to thirty-five per cent. At that time, the banking systems of become so valuable that prices for foreign and do- mestic merchandise ruled in our markets yery low. This state of things stimulated exports and checked importe, and the result was, that, in 1843 and 1844, the balance was largely in our fayor. In 1345 and 1846—the last two years of the high tariff—the balance was against us, which wo can acoount for by the ex- | pansion which had, in the meantime, taken place in the banking movements of the country. At the close of 1846 the present tariff went into operation, and, almost simultancous with that, commenced extensive shipments of breadstufls to Europe, an advance in | prices on the other side, and an unprecedented in- | creaso in the value of our exports. The imports | during the year 1847 were unusually large, approach- | ing very near the great speculative years before the arly every State | in the Union had exploded, and the currency had | great bank explosion; but the exports more than kept pace, and left a handsome balance in our favor at the clove, The imports and exports of the past year were increased very much by the deficiency in | the harvests of Europe, The demand in Europe for our breadstuffs created a demand in this country fo1 foreign manufactures, and the result was a conside- rable expansion in our foreign trade.

The Washington Press—The Missouri Compro- mise—Mr. Polk and his Generals. Asa ludicrous instance of the doltish stupidity _ of the Washington press, I may mention, thet after sundry attempts to print the-treaty -with Mexico, neither of the organs here; whig or pre-e sidential, has yet printed it correetly, although publishing it “by authority” more than three months after every other paper in the land had taken it from the columns of the Herald. The fate of the Missouri compromise is jeo- parded in ihe Senate by Mr. Underwood’s amend ment. It will be recollected that Mr. Bright moved asan amendment to the Oregon bill to strike out the twelfth section, prohibiting siavery in the ter- ritory, and insert in licu thereof the terms of the Missouri compromise, to wit ; that north of thirtys six degrees thirty minutes slavery shall not exist ; leaving its existence south of the line an open quentinns to be determined by t M e will of the inhabitants. This r. Bright Mr. Underwood moved further to amend, by inserting a declaration see the. existence of slavery south of the line, instead of leaving the question open as in the Missouri com- promise. ‘This amendment, unless withdrawn, will kill Mr, Bright’s prop sition, as, although the declaration it contains 1s not destined to have any practical force, (the subsequent existenee of slave: south of the dine depending on neceeiys on the wi of the people of the territory, and on the decisions of the courts,) yet to vote it down will alarm the South, as furnishing tangible thoueh constructive ground for doubt as to the sincerity of the North In entering into this compact. But i: will never- theless be voted down, and justly, as it is, mischievous and improper, and if inserted in bill would be unproductive of any practical Bood or even of the results it proposes to secure. Mr. Underwood has been besought to withdraw this amendment, but peremptorily refuses. He takes. a very solemn au very dangerous responsibility in being instrumental in defeating the only measure which can bring back harmony to the national councils. Has he consulted the feeling of his eon- stituents in opposing this obstacle to the perma- nent adjustment of the slavery difficulty? Ken- tucky is assuredly the last State from which dis- sent to the adoption of the Missouri compromise is likely to arise. Her greatest statesman, Henry Clay, is the author of that compact, and of all the slave States she entertains perhaps the mostmode- rate views in regard to that institution, It is scarcely possible Mr. Underwood will persist in putting forward his amendment when he shall feel convinced that on its withdrawal depends the suc- cess of the patrictic effort to settle the slavery ques- tion forever, i The Scott and Pillow case 1s fast assuming an aspect that evinces on the part of the Pre- sident a degree of meanness for which even his previous conduct was not sufficient to prepare ‘one. We hear of the nominations of General Pillow and General Cushing being sent in to the Senate for confirmation for the respective grant conferred on them by the President, and in the same breath we hear of General Pillow’s ac- quittal by a Court of which General Cushing was one of the members. This 1s too open a disregard of even the semblance of decency to pass un- rebuked. For what is General Cushing’s name alone, of all the brigadier-generals, sent into the Senate for confirmation? Assuming that he 1s pure as snow, will not the question be still asked, why is he singled out from his compeers and alone honored, when there are many others who have participated actively in service, | service at all? Thisis of a piece with the gross indelicacy which has characterised all Mr. Polk’s conduct in every instance in which any of his fa- vorites have been concerned. Because there was a doubt of General Pillow’s confirmation, he has withheld that of General pains and General Shields, the brilliancy of whose services sent an electric thrill through the whole country, is treated with coldness and neglect, because he did not choose to lend himself to play out the miserable game engaged in by the President, for the exalta- tion of his favorite, General Pillow. : Lam at present investigating this whole affair, and will be prepared to make, in a few days, some strange exposures. GALVIENSIS. Wasuine'ron, July 9, 1848, The New York Pilots. Neither the Senate nor the House has as yet acted on the various memorials before them, pray- ing for the repeal of the Pilot law of 1837. Mr. Dix has charge of this matter, on the part of the pilots, and although he has made a speech, setting forth their grievances, yet all further effort seems suspended. He must not suppose that he has yet done all his duty in this matter. Will he, for his own sake, if not for that of his constituents, urge the passage of this measure of repeal? The end of the session approaches, and there is every reason to fear that it will be postponed until all action is hopeless, or until there shall be no prospect of its passage through the other House, even if it "Tope. the Senate. Mr. Dix may feel assured that it such be the case, he shall not go blameless. When the most shameless measures, such as the Califor- nia bill, are pushed through the Senate, and that with Mr. Dix’s co-operation, it is reasonable to expect that he will at least make some small ex- ertion to forward the success of « measure which he himeelf says is so just and so necessary, and which has been so long delayed. These men have waited with most exemplary patience, Their cap- tain has remained here several sessions of Con- gress, for the purpose of giving such explanations and statements as were necessary, to put the case of himeelf and his brother pilots in a clear light betore Congress, at great inconvenience and trouble, and tothe detriment of the pilot service, which naust suffer in his absence. It cannot be denied that the claims of these men are just and fair, and the only objection raised is the pari gs that they belong to the democratic, party. e whi, party 18 arrayed against them in consequence, ani the other party being lukewarm in the matter, they are allowed, year after year, vainly to peti- tion for redress. r. Dickinson, the representa- tive of the hunkers on the floor of the Senate, takes no interest in their case, because it was first ad- vocated by Silas Wright—at least that 1s the only ostensible’ reason for his shameful neglect of the interests of these men, his constituents. Party has naught to do with this matter; but if the pilots are persecuted because they have mostly voted with the democrats, certainly that.party is bound in honor to protect them, and labor to restore them to the nghts of which they have been dis by a most unjust act of Congress, obtained upon the most mendacious and fradulent representations. It is not the New York pilots alone who are in- terested in this matter. Eight states have already titioned for the repeal of this law, viz: New ork, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana and Tex: tition of the Savannah pilots, sent thi th Mr. . B. King, has been as nearly as possible “* Burk- ed” by that gentleman. Party feeling should not be permitted to control a representative of the ple insuch cases. Gatvibsaie, Wasuinaton, July 8, 1848. The Close of the Week in the Senate. Mr. Benton reported from the Committee on Foreign Relations a bill to carry into effect'the treaty stipulations of the treaty concluded at Gua- deloupe Hidalgo, February 2, 1848. The bill was read twice and referred. A long conversation succeeded, on the motion to add two members to the territorial committee before they shall take under their care the subject of providing governments for the new territories of New Mexico and California, Messrs. Butler, Westcott, Dayton, Hale, and others taking part in the talk. The motion was rejected. Mr. Douglass, chairman on territories, who has been absent for some weeks, has not yet returned, nor have we heard, fora week where he is, has been, or where he 1s going. The Oregon bill was then resumed, and Honest John Davis, of Massachusetts, in his usual clear and deliberate manner, spoke for two hours in ex- position of the power of Congress, under the con- stitution, over the question of slavery in the terri- tories of this Union, in support of the application of the Wilmot proyiso. ‘It is too late now to attempt to defend the extension of slavery upon threats of dissolution of the Union, It 1s too late. We are to be trifled with nolonger. And I would now warn gentlemen against attempting to foree slavery into Oregon, or into any of the territories of this Union which are now free.” Mr. Johnson, of Laie ac next secured the floor, He isa Taylor-whig, and we expect him to sustain the extension of the Missouri compromise. The Senate, on motion, laid aside, the ball all Monday, and went into executive session. A Nor’-Easter which has lasted wo days, has brought us at length a steady, cold November etorm. a Wasuixeroy, July 8, 1848, House Report on Rivers and Harbors— President Polk and General Cass.
