teres Temi'tances to that country, under all the eireum- stances, are move profitably mado ia specie, Parchas- ers of goods of French manufacturers, mast have the specie if they want great bargains, and such is the groat difference between paper of the bank of France, which has been declared a legal tender, and specie, that those who expect, to compete succesfully in the markets of this country, must have the gold and silver ia hand when they purchase. Im consequeace of this, Dills on Paris are in fact good for nothing to this clas? ofmerchants, It matters not to them how good the Lillis, how rolvent the parties drawing, or those upon whom it is drawn, they cannot demand the specie for it in Paris, and must take, if offered, bills of the Bank of France. It is, therefore, highly probable that moderate shipments of specie to France will eontinue to be made. If we pay for the bulk of our purchares in France with specie, it follows that our exports to that country will command coin in pay- ment, so that the financial part ef the business will be about on a par, and no apprehensions need be enter- tained relative to any serious drain of epecie from us for those purpores. Domestic exchenges continue quiet, and there is no material alteration to report in the rates; they are all in favor of this city, and probably will remain eo until the new créps come forward more rapidly than the old have for the past six months, Uncurrent money is in- active. As soon as the fall trade has fairly commenced, the banks will have as much offered for redempt.on as they can tuke eare of, Foreign exchange wae plenty in New Orlenag, at the Jatest dates. ‘The market was so lberally supplicd that quotations bad declined. Bills on London were quoted at 79 per cent premium; on France 5f20 a £25, Texas funds, were firm, although inactive,— Red backs were selling at Llc ; bonds and the Consoli- dated Fund at 10 per cent.

Many of the se- curities have slightly declined, and the market, alto- gether, is less buoyant and less active, Capital was not so abundant, at either of the previous periods, as it is now, and the position of financial and commer- cial affairs generally was not so satisfactory or en- couraging as it is at present. Still, prices for stocks generally were higher, and operations were to a much greater extent. We attribute the existing inactivity almost entirely to the scarcity of capitalists and specu- lators in the market. The oppressivery not weacuer has driven all who could get away, into the country and to the different watering places; and those stil, left at the Board of Brokers, and in the street, evince no disposition to do anything; and there is, therefore, very little going on among the bulls and the bears. ‘We have noticed, for the past month, a gradual growth of public confidence, and a steady improvement in the money market, indicative of the return of better times. If nothing transpires to check these favorable movements, by the time our city is again filled with the absentees, the principal elements of trade will once more be in a healthy condition. The only dark spot now visible In the commercial horizon, is that hanging over Ireland. Should that increase, and spread over Great Britain, we must expect a revolution in finan- cial as great as that which would be realized in politi- cal affairs. ‘The Messrs. Barings’ circular of the 28th ult. says : —In American stocks the transactions continue un- important, and we have no change whatever to notice ” ee Stock Exchange. 6) shs Pattorson RR b# 113 as Notes, 6's Way cme 1h, 175 Harlem Kit 34 “ooo B60 10194 150 do rt BU do 220 iy 250 do. nn “68 Ot, 10 do a0 do 0 ‘gs 100 do 2) do 100 do Ww do se 10 do 7 100 do , 100 do 10) Lstand RR 100 do 100 do ON Ye RR 2) do bio 10 N Y & N Haven do 25 Canton Co 80 Erie RR, new, full BONor& WorRR bMS 3 Second Board, Reading Bonds 64 -W0shs Harlem RR bY) St Oe eatek RR 890 4% IB). do bo) 5LG roar m5 B45 80 do bio 5e Bodo 545¢ 50 Farmers’ Trust B20 2s! 20 do s10 &” 1% do Fs 300 do BO 6434 100 Tsland RR 28 160 do s60 53%) Auburn & Roch RR 87 30 do BM bAig CITY TRADE REPORT.

Awakened to a consciousness of his position by the voice of the Northern press, he made several desperate attempts to justify his course to his constitu- ents, He declared the press knew nothing about the bill or its provisions. Tae bill failed, however, and he was reduced to a most awkward porition. The passage of the Oregon bill, perfected to-day, with the ordi- nance of 1787, by such an immense majority—with the oe of two or three Southern Senators—must ren- der him particularly miserable. His constituents may very reasonably ask, by what authority from them he has become the supporter of opinions which even Southern men cannot justify. I have reason to doubt whether General Shields will aecept the Governorship of Oregon. I believe he was not consulted ; neither were his friends in Congress. There is no doubt the view of the President wag to re- move him from competition with Mr. Breese for a seat in the Senate of the United States. There is no man 80 popular in JIlinois, at preeent, as General Shields ; and no man more unpopular, or more deservedly s0, than Mr. Breese. The latter is an especial tool and friend of Mr. Polk; and there can little doubt General Shields owes his nomination to Mr. Breese. Such is one among the many moves on the political chess-board.

The South determined to speak the cession out, but they failed. determination of Mr. Calhoun’s friends to remain until noon of to-morrow, and to occupy all the time in talking, thus to defeat the bill. The eonduct of both houses, and more ’Twas but this morning Last night it was the Tt wi appear that heme was abandoned. On ‘both sides of this jon there has been exhibited the most ridiculeus ‘rtinacity. There was no prirciple involved. Both jorthern and Southern men admitted that slavery could not exist in Oregon, and the exhibition was there- fore wholly unnecessary. inhibition could not prejudice the South for the same On the other hand, the reaton. The insertion of a clause recognising the Mirsouri compromire line could not have jeoparded the interests of the North in any of the new territories, nor could its exclusion from the bill jeopard the i terest ofthe South. In fact, there was no momentous jesue involved to cause such a struggle. The extreme advocates of slavery had not the sympathy of their own friends in the war which they threatened should the bill pass inthe shape in which it came from the House. Mr. Houston, in his speech yesterday, ridi- culed the rentiments of Mr. Calhoun and his friends, and declared. there as yet exists no necessity for this bitterness of feeling aguinst the North. There is no doubt that his position is impregnable. “He agrees with Mr. Bell, that if a struggle is to come, this is not the iseue on which it should be waged. ‘The ultra Southern men cannot sustain the position they have taken, A Southerm convention they may hold, but the South will not jeopard the Union, on the false issue raised by the fwnatice, Mr. Calhoun ham- bles himself and his party too much, in putting him- seif in antagonism to the associates of Frederick Douglass There 1s 20 cause for ail the excitement: as et there has been nothing done to prejudice the nterests of the South. All this frothy indignation is therefore superfluous As might be expected, the scenes on the floor of the Senate during this debate were amusing. Mr Hous- ton’s speech called forth terrible indignation from the friends of Mr. Caihoun. During Mr Webster's speech, Mr. Dickinson might be observed taiking and laughing yery loud, as if the eloquence listened to with such breathless attention were beneath his notic: com m6n practice with him since his temerity called down upon his head the terrible and stinging castigation he received from the Massachusetts Senator some two earsago. Later infthe night, a scone occurred, which will leave to others the unenviable task of depicting, The transactions of the last day and night are sut- ficient to convince anybody of the great necessity that exists of expelling from the Senate many of those who now disgrace the body.

Senator Benton, it seems, is desirous of having an opportunity of setting another “ ball in motion,” soli- tary and alone, at the heart of Senator Butler; but the authorities have interfered in the matter, and put a a stop to it for the present. However, as law-makers are generally the greatest law-breakers, we may expect to hear of their taking a pop at each other one ot th warm, sultry mornings. ‘This holding @ man to bail affords a hole for cowards to creep out of, but of course will not be regarded by Senators. Our city is thronged with members of Congress and stiangers, to-day, Washington having emptied itself last night, several trains having arrived last evening. The young whigs of Bultimore, have prepared a splendid silver goblet, as a present for the Hon R, W. ‘Thompson, of Indiana.

There is no doubt. how- ever, of the election of Manley, whig, by # small ma- jority, as governor, and a majority of two for the whigs ‘on joint baliot. There will be quite a heavy vote cast in this city, for @ free-soil sheriff, in October. [t is customary here for each voter to vote for two candidates for sheriff, the one that receives the highest number of votes being sheriff, and the second, sheriff, in case of the death of the one receiving the highest number, Thus every yoter can vote for his party candidate, and, also, give aside vote for free soil.
