MONEY MARKET. - Sunday, July 306 P. M. ‘We have had two arrivals from Europe during the past week, but the markets have been vory littleaffeeted by the news, one way or the other. The commercial intelligence has been as favorable as could have been expected, under existing circumstances, but it is not by any means satisfactory. The future looks gloomy, and we cannot divest our minds of those fears which the events of the past six or twelve months have ereated. We occasionally see a ray of hope, but it soon disappears, and the political and commercial horizon becomes again overcast, and the mutterings of the distant tempest are distinctly heard. The whole of Europe is in @ terrible condition; and our only hope is, that Great Britain my escape the blast which has swept from one end of the continent to the other with such devastating effect. If England escapes, we shall continue to find extensive markets for our products, and our prosperity will be partially preserved. Our markets on the continent have al- most become extinct, so that the worst in that Particular has already been realized; but, every week or month, consumption in that section of the world, is restricted or limited—so much the more injurious must be the revolution causing such e of things. With the exception of Great Britain, our European export trade has been literally annihilated; but unfortunately, our import trade with these coun- tries has not met with a similar fate, but on the con- trary, has rather increased than otherwise. Importers and speculators in this country have taken advantage of the financial embarrassments growing out of the revolution, which the manufacturers of France and Europe generally have labored under, d have purchased of them for cash, goods at one-half their cost, and have filled our markets. A portion of the specie which has been shipped from this port within the past four months, went abroad for this purpose, and while our exports had become reduced to the lowest limit, and exchange drawn upon previous shipments of produce, was coming back protested, millions of del- lars in geld and silver, were going forward to purchase goods, which could not be obtained on the usual eredit. In this way, our whole foreign trade has be- come deranged, and we have thus far borne the brunt of the commercial revulsions and politica] revolutions in Europe. ‘The losses we have directly sustained by the suspen sion of foreign houses largely indebted to us, have been trifling, compared with those realized by the de- preciation in the market value of our products. So far as breadstuffs are cencerned, we can make no com- parisons, as both the demand and prices last year were entirely artificial, or we might say unnatural and out of the usual course of trade. The demand in Eu- Topo, generally, for breadstuffe, in 1846 and 1847, was the most unfortunate event that could have happened to this country, and we are prepared to show that it was more unfortunate to us tham it was to England, although she was the consumer, and paid for it in gold, and we were the producers and received the hard dol- Jars for the bulk of our shipments. We imported in 1847 about twenty-four millions of dollars, in bullion, about twenty millions of which came from England ; this drain of gold being in payment for breadstuffs, came directly from the vaults of the Bank of England, and the amouut of bullion in the bank was reduced to about six millions sterling. The effect of this reduction in the gold and silver of the bank, was ® corresponding reduction in its circulation, and a contraction in its credits, perhaps to ten times the amount, and the result was a tremendous stringency in the money market, and a rapid deprecia- tion in prices for overy species of property, except breadstuffs. Our great staple, cotton, felt the effects of this state of things very materially, and priees became so much reduced, and the consumption so limited, that the most ruinous losses became inevitable ; but were put off with the hopefof theirjbeing ultimately less disastrous. The postponement only increased the evil, and recent events have shown the folly of anticipating an improvement in the midst of such a complete pros- tration of commercial confidence, and such an unac- countable disappearance of active eapital. Large quan- tities of cotton have been put upon the market, and sales made at prices full fifty percent below those current at the commencement of the season. The whole of this, and thousands upon thousands of bales yet out of the market, have been held for better prices ; ut better prices being, at all events, for the present, out of the question, it has been deemed best to submit to the sacrifice, particularly as the prospect isin favor of an immense crop this year. Had there not been a scarcity of breadstufis in Great Britain, or in Eurepe generally, during the years 1846 and 1847, it is highly probable there would have been no political revolution in 1848 ; and it is altogether probable that commercial prosperity would have exist ed in all sections of the world—that prices for eur cot Jon would have beon sustained, and that we should not have received so much gold and silver from Europe ; but that we should have been in a much better con- dition than we are at present, Nesrly ono half of tho specie imported last year, has gone back this, and more than the balance of profits realized on our ship- ments of flour and grain, has been absorbed in pay- ments for excessive imports, leaving the enor- mous losses on cotton the balance against us, for the advantages of an extensive foreign demand for our breadstuffs. Political demagogues and party organs may talk till doomsday about the benefits derived from an extensive foreign demand for our bi stuffs, particularly whon that demand comes from acountry which is a large consumer of cot- ton, and that consumption is regulated by the ruling prices for food. A steady, moderate demand for our breadstutffs,is much more desirable than those occasion. alexcessive wants which for the time absorb a large por- tion ofthe floating capital ofthe country, consuming such large quantities of foreign breadstuffs, and derange the whole course of trade. We may apparently gain largely by the increase in the quantity of our agri- cultural products, consumed abroad, but we are in fact, large losers by the operation. It is for our interest that our customers should be as rich and as prosperous as possible for us to mako them, that thoy may be largo consumers of our most important articles of export, and if the most important artivle is cotton, whatever interferes with it cannot but be highly detrimental to ovr most important interest, in our remarks a few days since relative to the Dank of Charleston, 8. C., and the communications which have appeared so frequontly in the newspapers of that city, we should have stated that those communications yeferred entirely to the Bank of the State of South Carolina, instead of the Bank of Charleston, 8, U.— ‘The annual report whiob we published at the time, re- ferred to showing the movements of the last named institution for the past year, was sufficient to satisfy y one that its affairs had heen judiciously conducted and that it was apparently in asound and healthy condition, The contest which has beon going on for the past year between the friends and enemies of the Bank of the State of South Carolina, and the monthly reports made by thatinstitution prove conclusively the the utter insolvency of the concern, and its dangerous porition in the event of the withdrawallo! public sonfi- denee. The annexed statement exhibits the quotations in this market for each day of the past week, and at the close of the week previous. Prices have been withont any important variation, although the tendency throughout has been downward :— Quorations For THe Pi . Stocks in tue New Yor« Marxer, Mon, Fri.

The House has treated with scant courtesy the Senate bill for extending the territorial jurisdiction of the United States over the new provinces and Oregon—that bill, brought forth by the compromise committee with much pain and travail—and for the baptism and confirmation of which, the Senate sat up one long and weary night—playing queer pranks the while—and listened for long hours to Niles, the long-winded, and Upham, the stupid, and Phelps, the prosy. This bill, stamped with the features of Mr. Calhoun, apd eosting the Se- nate so great a loss of time and character, (if of the latter it had any to lose,) the House, by a vote of 112 to 97, has laid on the table without honoring it with even half an hour’s debate . Without at present going into the merits of a measure thus early entombed, I will say that, in- dependent of its intrinsic faults, there was one cir cumstance which more than any other, contributed to its defeat. The emissanies of the President were known to be busily employed in influencing those who were open to that peculiar species o} conviction resulting from Executive logic, and many members who have given administration measures almost undeviating support, still were determined to make unmistakeably manifest their detestation of such interference with the legisla- tion of Congress by the Executive. I learn that every sort of influence was brought to bear on those who are regarded as weak and vascillating; and that the edd dermeee of the motion to lay the bill upon the table, alone defeated the strong hopes entertained of being able to melt away by pro- mises and threats,and persuasion of various kinds, the opposition to its passage. If the satety of the Union depended on the sticcess of the measure, it would not be desirable to secure it by such expedi- ents, The surest means of inspiring the people with distrust in the government, is to tamper with the representatives. What is there in monarchy More currupt or dangerous? That a majority of of the Senate are under the control of the Presi- dent, recent events have fully demonstrated. If, then, the House had opened its ears to his blan- dishments, and both houses were thus to lend themselves to be mere executors of his will, in heaven’sname what would have become of the re- public ? Mr. Polk says General Jackson used the same means to control the legislation of both houses. This 1s questionable ; but if he did, what then? General Jackson swore terribly. Must Mr. Polk imitate his example ? nlp ranataly Mr. Polk is one of such an order of human beings that if General Jackson had, among a thousand accom- plishments, an unfortunate habit of helping him- self to peas with his knife, Mr. Polk would dis- es ard all the accomplishments and adopt that one lefect. The House will ptoceed to pase the Oregon bill and send it to the Senate, and the latter body will interpolate some amerdment distasteful to the House. A committee of conference will be ap- pointed, and thus a compromise may at length be agreed u This will take time, but it seems to be the determination of the Senate to remain in session until the question is settled in some way. Governments should be extended over all the ter- ritories, but some means of compromising the slavery question may be adopted, better than the one proposed. GaLviensis. Wasuineron, July 28, 1818. The Compromise. Bill—Adjournment of Congress. Both houses of Congress are still agitated by the slavery controversy, and it will continue to form the exciting topic of discussion for the re- mainder of the session. | unfolded to youon yes- terday, the plan for arriving at some satisfactory compromise: namely, so to amend, in the Se- nate, the Oregon bill that will be sent from the House, as to induce the institution of a commit, tee of conference which may report some plan of compromise satisfactory to a majority of both houses. The mortification of the Senate at the summary execution done upon their pet bill, by the other House, is indescribable. It will be long ere they recover from the shock. So much law and blarney.thrown away! Is it surprising that they feel indignant? An analysis of the vote in the House shows a different result from that in the Senate. The de- legations from the different States voted as fol- lows, on the motion to lay the bill on the table :— Aves. Nays. Divinen, New Hampshire, Delaware. Maine, chusetts, South Carolina. © New York, Rhode Island. Alabama, lvania, Vermont. Florida. Maryland, Conneeticut. Minsiseeppi. Virginia. Now Jersey. Louisiana, North Carolins. Michigan. rkankis. Georgia. Iowa. ‘Texas, Tennessee, Wisconsin. Missouri. Kentucky. 0. Indiana, Minois. Democrats for the motion., .31 Whigs for the motion ‘Against 70 Against Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, was the executioner of the bill. Mr. Linn Boyd, of Kentucky, pleaded hard to have it epared fora time, at least until the House could ascertain whether it had any merit— but Mr. Stephens was inexorable. The votes on his motion were taken amid profound silence, and thus was the Senate bill killed inthe House. It may be (ne how much it was regarded as a one-sided measure, by the fact thatno Southern democrat, and but eight Southern whigs, voted to lay it on the table. ‘4 } 2 . There was something in the framing of the bill inconsistent with Mi Jhoun’s usual straigh forwardness. He had'declared 1t as his solemn conviction that slaves might be carried tothe new territories, and be held and owned there under the protection of the constitution, provided there should be no legislation forbidding it. He went tarther. Before acquiescing in the provisions of the bill, he fortified himself with the advice of thrée men of law, in whose ia ent and acu- men he placed unbounded confidence; and, then, thoroughly persuaded that the question to be sub- mitted to the Supreme Court, has but one side,fand that a Southern side, he came into the Senate and offered to the North as_a compromise, that which he felt convinced in his soul, with as much cer- tainty ashe could feel on any subject, was no compromise at all. However bad may be the case of the North; and how reprehensible soever it course, there can be no doubt as to the fairness of such conduct. Mr. Phelps was persuaded out of whatever wits he had, that it was really a conces- i to the North, without saying that Mr. Cal- oun. “Has a tongue can wheedle with the devil." It cannot be denied he has a tongue that whee- dled Mr. Phelps out of every position he ever oc- cupied on the slavery question, and brought him over to the support of views so ultra, that even three-fourths of the Southern men have hitherto regarded them as extravagant. Indeed, the Ver- mont Senator made such progress during the four days of the session of the committee, under the tuition of Mr. Calhoun, that he has even gained the compliments of the Union, for the genuine- ness of his pro-slavery sentiments, and the ease and dexterity with which he accomplished his dif- ficult somersault. Mr. Phelps has long been a can} didate for the commendation of the Union. No man in the Senate has exhibited more folly and extravagance. He has vied with Mr. Turney in acts of shallow meanness. He has at length earned the adulation of Mr. Polk’s organ, by a croening act of perfidy to his constituents, and by ashameless recantation of principles, which he has always hitherto professed. This slavery controversy has gone too far to be satisfactorily settled, except by some honest manly compromise. The dark dealing proposed by the bill just killed by the House, was not honest or manly compromise. The joint resolution to adjourn on the Ith of August, will probably come up for consideration, in the House, on Monday next. GALVIENSIS. Wasuinaton, July 29, 1848. Fragmentary. We wish, for the sake of a true record of the longest legislative sitting since the organization of the government, to record the distinct time of the adjournment on Thursday morning. The Senate met at 11 A. M., Wednesday, and, with the thermometer at 90, continued in session tll seven minutes to 8 o’clock, A. M., on Thursday. It is so recorded in the journal. By our own tume itwas past eight; but ours is the car time, whieh is faster than the city time. The Senate gave the quietus to-day to Mr. Whit- ney’s railroad to the Pacific. Mr. Niles moved to take up the bill. Mr. Benton moyed to lay it on Yhe table. See Senate report. Delightful rain last night—better weather to-day. On, Thursday evening there was a large Con- ressional pic nie at the Black Oak Spring, at Ar- ington, just across the river. Champagne rose a trifle next morning at the hotels. P othing, we suspect, will be done for the terri- tories this session. Mr. Benton and Mr. Hanne- gan are each at work upon a scheme, but we are afraid the negro question will bring them up all standing We have also a chance yet for a veto ona ctvil and diplomatie bill.

When the eourt closed, yesterday afternoon, Mr, Keys the District Attorney, was engaged in an argu- ment in fyvor of allowing a man, by the name of ' 4 cius Winters, to testify as to the character of (ue de- fendaut. It appears that about fourteen months ago, the defendant endeavered to make an arrangement for the rale of stolen slaves with Joreph S. Donovan, of Baltimore, whore agout Winters is. The offer was in- dignantly refused, and information given to the poliee to be on the look out for Drayton, thy defendant, Mr Carlisle, for the defence, contended that evidence of conv tions #0 far back could not be admitted ap evidence of the defendant's mind, when the transae- tion for which he is now being tried took place, The argument was continued this morning. The Hon. H, Mann, for the defence, warmly contended against the admission of the evidence~that there was no connec- tion between that offer, if made, aud the present tran- suction—and that if it could be proved the defendant went to Baltimore and made such a proposition to ut- ter strangers, it was either a proof of insanity, ora mere joke, which arose from knowing that the Balti mere Ian was a trader in slaves. The Court decided not to allow the testimony, upon the ground that the transactions Were not at alleonnected; the length of lime which had elapsed was of no material consee quence, if aconnection had been, or was, sought to be connected, No evidence could linitted whieh was not directly relevant to the poiut at issue, Mr. H, Craia,a witness examined yestordi called to prove that a great deal of exetenuce oxlsted when the prisoners were brought to Washington. TI District Attorney objected to such evidence. Mr. Carlisle contended that it was right to show what de. monstrations were made to alarm the prisoner's mind. and “ that it caused him to deny bis masters,” the abo. litionists; that, in fact, cowardice alone was his motive in erdeavoring to prove himself a pirate, rather than as one connected with abolitionism. The Court ovor- ruled the further questioning of the witness upon this int. The question which was objected to by the istrict Attorney was,“ Did you observe any weapons in the hands of the crowd?" se Kewry L, stated, that he knew the prisoner for abou made several trips here with a small sloop last. summer, with cargoes of oysters and wood. He stated he sailed for his health, and not to make money Mr. Carvisix objected to this testimony, for the same reasons as Wint:r’s evidence was objected to. ‘The Courr had no objection to witness proving the presence of the prisoner in Washington, but sustained Carlisle as to stating what conversation took place. ‘The Witness continued, stating that he saw the at the wharf, at Georgetown ; she gaged the river, to Philadelphia, but that. as he could not at the time get a full lead, he brought a few cords of wood te Georgetown. The prisoner stated, that he did not bring the wood to mak rofit, but merely ax ballast, He pold it to Mr. Thoma: ay for haifa Tollara eord more than he gave forit. There were 13 cords—the schooner would carry fifty. Cross-Examined—Drayton said he only offered it to Reilly, and accepted the first offer made—92 a eer@, at 60 days, Mr. Cantisix—That will do, Mr. Lambell ; I’m done with you. Mr, Lamnett—Thank ye, sir; I’m very glad of it. And off he started without waiting for the $1 25 he was entitled to, rejolcing, doubtless, at gotting rid of the dirty atmorphere of the court. This closed case on the part of the prosecution, Mr, Mann addressed the jury for the defence. adverted to bis position as a stranger and as ontertein- ing different opinions upon certain subjects, which were doubtless entertained by many, if not all the jury. He, however, thought there was one common ound upon which they could both stand—duty. joth the jury and himself were sworn not to swerve from the path of truth. He appealed to them to any prejudice they mighs entertain upon the subjec and try the prisoner solely on the evidence. Give not, said he, the phantom of seeming right, gnd the sub- stance of injustice. He referred to the immense mass of indictments which bad been prepared. if found guilty of stealing, he could Ye imprisoned for eight jundred and forty years—a period, which even Methu- salah himself, unless taken in bis byyhood, would fail in serving out ; and, if convicted of the lesser offence, (of faeeisting slaves to escape.) he could be imprisoned and fined $15,000, 2 sum which he could never hope to” pay. The costs to the government were, to be sure, as a drop in the bueket; they would only amount to $8,480 for the District Attorney's fees. Here Mr. Krys, the District Attorney, interrupted Mr. Mann, by denying this assertion—the gentteman had not sufficiently acquainted himrelf with the fact. Mr. Canzisux explained, that the Attorney’s fees were limited to $6000 per annpm, but until that sam was reached, ten dollars for each indietment was allow- ed. There were upwards of 300 indictments in the Present case. Mr. Keys exhibited a good deal of irritation, when the Court interfered, and said that Mr. Mann shquld be permitted to proceed. . Mr. Mann continued, by adverting at length to the unnecessary costs which had been accumulated by the prorecuting officer. The prisoner would only be eon vieted—if convicted—upon one offence ; and he could not, after serving out that time, be again taken and tried by this court for the same offence. He entered into a lengthy explanation of the law as regarded the difference between enticing and stealing slaves. The prisoner had been indicted ander four Maryland laws, a separate indictment under each law ; and he (Mr. Mann) submitted it, that the pri- soner could only be convicted under one law for one offence, and not four times cenvicted upon one crime. Nothing had been introduced which, if proved, would justify the convietion of the prisoner, except for ab- duction ; and that crime was not upon trial mow. The Jaw with regard to wild snimals, was, that until re- duced to the possession of a party, there was uo pro- perty in them, and when they escaped from such pos- session, the property ceased. He argued that a per- son could not be guilty of larceny. if he took posses- sion of @ slave whilst running away; and that the prisoner was merely found scoompanted bys number of runaway slaves who had left their masters before they came on board the schooner. The constitution no where mentions the abhorred name of slave. The master cannot grind up the bones of the persons he holds in servitude to fructify his land ; he cannot eut up his meat ;jhe is cay entitled to the “services of the persons.” as the constitution has it ; and, in orfler to Prove a larceny, you must find that the person aceus- ed had appropriated the “ services of the persons” to his own gain. It must be proved that even if the pri- soner did take this property from the hand of the owner ; yet if he did not take it, lucri causa, for die- honorable purposes, he will have to be tried under other laws ; he meant not to appropriate their servi- ces to his own use, but to convey them to a free State. The law of nature assumes that every man is ent! itive law does to his own services ; and where a pos! exist to the contrary, the law of nature is in foree; ' He adverted to the fact, that one of the witnesses iden- tified the time when the offence charged, occurred by the torch-light procession which occurred the night be- fore. in honor of the French revoluti contrast- edthe sentiments of the speakers at occasion with the purport of the present trial.

Mr. Canuistn said, that he thought Court was mistaken as to the course of his col nt. He (Mr. had always breathed Southern ore and was the last man to sit quietly and hear her instita- tions reviled; but his colleague merely wished to show that the tendency of these » hes, Senator Foote’s, principally, was to set the minds of the slaves at work, and toinduce them, of their own volition, to endeavor to procure their freedom. ‘The Count observed, thats man must be very dall who did not see the drift of the argume: nd it could not sit there quietly and listen to an inflammatory argument against slavery, which was a recognised in- stitution. Mr. Many wished briefly to show, that by the laws of nature, all men are free—that, by the laws of seme communities, certain classes are considered as pro- | that, as this property became valuable, ite me less secure ; and that, as the slave ac- ligence, he became awar quired int which were daily printed in this eity th ad jeot of tending to make the pant for liberty.

Mr. Krys objected to the ponding publication of Gen.

Foote made the speech, and then that Hoover's slaves heard it. ‘The Court did not see any harm in reading the speeeh, because the learned counsel may say that they ‘are his own sentiments, and how can you prevent it? Mr, Mann thanked the Court for its indulgenceand continued reading extracts from Gen. Foote’s tees as it appeared in the Union, and contended that it there seeds of liberty, which fell apon willing care, thes might bave induced them to make an application to the prisoner to convey them to the land of freedom: and the evidence would tend to show that « of the kind must have been the case, as their was totally unexpected » day or two previous, and that the prisoner could not by ey many slaves woul! beon board. ‘The truth was, that those slaves boarded the schooner and took Drayton prisoner, and he was compelled to carry them. ‘Without concluding his argument, Mr. Mann re quested the indulgence of the Court to allow him to examine bis witnesses now, as they belonged to Phila- delphia, and were staying here at uch personal incon. venience to themselves, The Court acceding to the re- quest, Sasiver Newson was sworn, and testified that he had
