Keyrorr, Sepi. 1, 1848. Grand Annual Ball—Summer Visiters—Tie La- dies’ Faw—Feir Ladus’—Progress of Piety— Peaches, &c. One of the most fashionable and recherché balls of the season came off, at Keyport, on Friday evening last, in a manner which reflected a world of credit upon all parties concerned, more particu- larly upon the worthy host of the Chingarora House, who was unremitting in his exertions to make everybody comfortable. Lothian’s cele. brated band was engaged for the occasion. The weather was very fine, the ladies very fair and full of fun, and, in fact, a score of circumstances seemed to combine in order that the afiair should off in a becoming manner. ‘About one hundred ladies were present, and many of them very pretty, and more particularly among the Monmouth girls, many of them very fat. The belle of the room, or, more classically, * the “presiding beauty” of the room, was admitted to be Miss A********, from New York, who was very tastefully costumed, and floated through the mazy dance as gracefully as if borne on the wings of Zephyr. Miss W. E. T., from ae, was, , a perfect impersonation of Hebe, and danced in a manner which would have conterred honor upon the veritable Terpsichore herself. among those who danced well, looked well, and no doubt felt well, were Miss E. S., of Canada, iss M. T., Mrs. M., Misses H., Mrs. ©. and er, and lastly, the Monmouth “ Medicis.” The gents numbered in all about eighty: — Among them were to be seen Lieut. C. E. D.; S.N.; Dr. S., New York; B.E. 8. and E. C., besides a host of others, who are justly entitled stars in the hemisphere of fashion. An appro- priate supper was prepared on the occasion, atter which several baskets of champagne were broken into, and a variety of patriotic toasts given, as well as a sentiment now and then more especially adapted to the ladies. Through the lhadheae of Mr. Thompson, of the Pavilion, and Gupt. Arrow- smith, a variety of valuable banners and flags were procured, which gave the room an appear- ance quite d /a militaire.. ‘ Keyport has been visited by more summer visit- ers this season than ever before, owing to its in- creasing popularity as the most healthy and agree- able watering place adjacent to New York. hile some of the summer boarders have been. improving the health of their bodies, a number of the Monmouth brethren have been endeavoring to improve the state of their souls. Brother Poland, of the M. E. Church, has been laboring for some three weeks past, during which time he brought many over to the true faith. _ _ The ladies of Monmouth, quite recently, held a fair, the proceeds of which were devoted to the erection of a new church, which is to hold more than two ordinary Keyport churches, and the devil is to be chased beyond the confines of Mon- mouth county, at all hazards. s This bemg the first chy of fall, the remaining boarders begin to think about home, and the sea- ‘son of fun and fashion, in this place, must soon close. Another ball is to come off, however, pre- vious to the general wind up, which will be duly reported for the Herald. Omicron. News rrom Harirax.—By the steamer Buena Vista, at Boston, Halifax papers to the 29th have been received. From the Courter of the 29th, we learn that a disgraceful occurrence took place in that city. The facts are briefly these. A foul murder has been committed in a house of ill fame, situated on ‘the Hill,” (a disreputable part of the city,) which so excited the indignation of the citi- zens, the soldiers, and the sailors, that they took the law in their own hands, and proceeded to de- stroy the premises. The torch of the incendiary was applied, and when the engine ascended the sco the members were met with groans and hisses from a crowd of six or seven thousand per- sons,-who effectually prevented them from making any exertions to arrest the progress of the flames, by cutting the hose, &c. A shed in the rear was Iso partially destroyed. The Courier reproves the city authorities for suffering these dens of intamy to exist so long, and calls upon them to clear them out, as the only way to prevent similar outrages. ‘The Best Di the best Breakfast and Saloon..The best of all ing Saloons in New York, is Mercers’, 107 Nassau, cor. of Ann, a few doors from the Museum.

MONEY MARKET. Sunday, Sept. 3-6 P.M. There has been considerable excitement in commer- cial circles during the past week, particularly since the arrival of the steamship Niagara. The accounts she brings relative tothe harvest of Great Britain are con- sidered favorable for an extensive demand for our bread stuffs, and an important improvement in prices; but speculators, both holders of flour and grain, and purchasers, appear disposed to wait further ad_ ‘vices before parting with their supplies, or purchasing toanyextent. There are a great many orders in this market,while many received by the Niagara have been fulfilled in other cities by telegraph. Our telegraphic despatch frem London by the Niagara, upto the latest moment, stated that at that time it was raining hard: which induces us to believe that accounts by the steam- er of the 26th of August, relative to the crops, will be more favorable for our rests than the last. In this market there has appeared for the past few days moro disposition to purchase than to make sales, showing an ‘anxiety on the part of those holding orders, to fill them, if possible, before the arrival of another steamer. Inthe event of later accounts being more unfavorable as regards the harvests, there will bean aotivity in our corm markets greater than we have ex perienced for more than twelve months, The receipt Of produce from the interior will increase with th. greatest rapidity, and the deficiency in the tolls on our public works will soon be made good. All this ts much to be desired; but it is by no means desirable that speculation in breadstuffs should be pushed to such an extreme as that of last year and the year pre- vious; for the reaction which followed that immense inflation in prices, was attended with consequences more disastrous vo a arge portion of the commer- cial community, than (avorable results to any portion. A moderate speculation, and » moderate ox: pansion of prices,will, as general thing,do ts vast dea! Of good,as it will rellevo the producers of a part of their surplus productions, and preserve a healthy state of things; while, on the other hand, xcessive speou- lative movement in breadstuffs, and a corresponding inflation in prices, have a tendency to depress prices for all our other staples, and materially restrict their consumption. This has beon olsarly illustrated within the past two years, in the enormous depreciation in the market value of cotton, and its limited consump- + tion. The prospect, at present, is in favor of « foreign demand for our breadstuffs, to an extent suffl- cient to advance prices to a remunerative point, with- out unfavorably affecting prices for cotton. When the speculation in breadstuffs commenced,in 1846,prices for cotton ruled high, and the consumption was much ex- tended, and there was a wide margin for a contraction. The deficient harvests tho first year had not much in- fluence upon movements of this staple; but the second ‘was sufficient to check all over consumption, and re- duce prices very rapidly. Breadstuffs continued to advance, until they almost reached famine points; and cotton as rapidly declined, until prices went below producing points, when the corn bubble burst, and prices for breadstuffs became as much depreciated as any other of our staples. A speculative movement, to a moderate extent, in broadstuils this year, would not low peien of 4, heretofore beea be attended with similar results, so far as our other ex- porting products are concerned, and perhaps not with | similar results in regard to individual credits. We ttand now upon a different foundation. The commer- | cial world has been pretty thoroughly purged of thos, | rotten concerns which have, for so many years, mana- | ged to keep their heads above water. The consump- | tion of every thing, either as @ luxury or neces sary of life, has become reduced to the small- est amount, and prices stand upon a healthier and more substantial basis than bas been known for years. The value of everything has become reduced to the lowest point, and there is hardly @ probability | of prices becoming more depressed; and it is, there- | fore, with considerable satisfaction that we see a strong | probability of our breadstuffs being in extensive de- | mand to supply the actual wants for consumption in | Europe. The manufacturers of Europe force their fabrics upon our markets,in whatever quantities they deem proper, and it is no more than a fair return that the people of Europe should be compelled to take our breadstufls, Nothing bu! a deficiency in their har- | vests will do this, and we are in a fair way of realizing the benefits of such an outlet. If we can turn the tables upon them toa moderate extent, it will enable us to restore the balance of trade to its natural posi- tion, and to bring back some of the specie that has | been drawn from us in payment for the excessive im_ portation of foreign manufactures. We do not desire to see a very great speculative movement, but a de- | mand that will be steady throughout the season, and shipments sufficient to meet that demand, without csusing such fluctuations in prices as will prove disas- trous to any class of speculators, The annexed statement exhibits the quotations for certain stocks in this market, for each day of the past week, and at the close of the week previous. With one exception—the Norwich and Worcester—prices have been very uniform, most of the stocks not having va- | ried one per cent in that time :— Quotations Fon THE Princirat Stocns in THe New Yorx Manxer, Mon, Tues, Wed.

The amount of money to the credit of the Treasury Department, with the assistant treasurers and deposi- tories, according to returns received to Monday, the 28th of August, was $4,355,850%29, of which $2.344,- 606 18 had been drawn for but not paid, leaving subject | to draft $2,011,264 11. Of the deposits, $1,493,000 89 | were in the sub-treasury of this city, and $946,509 08 in New Orleans. Since the arrival of the Niagara, large sales of bread- stuffs have been made for export, and the quantity of | flour and grain offering for shipment has been so large that an advance in freight has been realized. En- Begements have been made for the shipment of about 100,060 bushels of Indian corn; and we have no doubt but that double that quantity will be, afloat this week on its way from this port to England and Ireland. | An advance of one or two shillings has already | been submitted to on flour, and three to| six cents on norn. The market is so unsettled | that operators are undecided how to act.

There has been, during the past week, more activity in cotton, in the way o; shipments, particulariy to Havre.

Courier of the 18th sa: During our recent sit to the country we had occa- sion to observe, as as to enquire, of the condition and prospect of the growing cotton crop. On the whole the accounts are very flattering. although in the boll worm had done, and was doing, mage. All our planters now fear is a continuance ot the rainy weather. Clear and sunshin: weather is all they require to make excellent crops. most bounteous crop of corn has this year almost every- where rewarded the labors of the farmer. The Port Gibson Herald of the 18th says :— From all partsof Claiborne and adjoining counties we hear complaints of the ravages of the boll worm.— Should they continue their destructive operations much longer, the crop in this region will be very short. Ti nton Creole 8 We have everal showers since our last. We its rava- nd that the crop must be less than that of last x unless they are soon checke We have not yet eard of the caterpillar or eotton worm. ‘The St. Francis (La.) Chronicle says : For several Cie past we have had considerable rain. Our planters will suffer, as they are at present gather- their cotton. We have heard it asserted by those well-informed about such matters, that there will be a falling off of at least one-fourth in the cotton crop, owing to the very unfavorable season. The Coos (N. H.) Democrat says :— The potato rot has, everywhere in this vicinity, again made its appearance. The wheat crop, also, 0 far as we can learn, throughout the county of Coos, and the northern part of the county of Grafton, is very much injured by the rust—some fields so much so as to be scarcely worth harvesting. One man in this county. trom a field which in ordinary seasons would yleld 100 bushels, thinks that he nal ne at most but y- The Savannah Republican last Monday, says :— The rice harvesting has gone on very well the last week. The weather has been most propitious, and the appearance of the sea island crop of cotton has im- proved very much under the recent good weath ‘The New Orleans Times of the 25th ult. says : From the character of the intelligence of late, from the cotton region of South Alabama, we are bound, says the Mobile Tribune of the 23d instant, to believe the prospects of the planter are far less encouraging than they were a week er two previous. In the black lands much rain has fallen, causing a too rapid growth and a dropping of the forms ; besides which, the boli- worm has sppeared in formidable numbers on several plantations and is doing considerable injury. These complaints come from Sumter, tengo, Greene, Per- ry, Dallas, Montgomery, Lowndes, &c , the best cotton counties in the State. In regard to the latter, the Hayneville Chronicle says the worm is making fearful ravages, having ready greatly injured the crop, and if it continues a week or two longer, one half, it is thought, will be lort. We have before usa letter from the same county, dated 15th instant, which says, up to about the Ist of this month I had not seen for years a finer prospect for a cotton crop, but of late the bo worm has made sad work, and dy the crop in tl vicinity has been very much shortened.

Wasnina ron, September 1, 1318. Unreported Proceedings in the Senate, during the Last Three Days of the Session, §c. §c. There are doubtless a great many readers of the Herald, who have never been inside the doors of the capitol, and many who, although they have viewed the assembled wisdom, have not had op- portunities of observing the various freaks and vagaries indulged in by honorable gentlemen oe- casionally. To a constant looker on, however» there are some strange scenes presented, which would puzzle even our friend, the stenographer to the Senate, to depict faithtully. The public will be prepared to believe, that in the House a sort of tree and easy bearing is occasionally indulged in ; such, for instance, as the Hon. Mr. Pendleton, F.F. V., sitting comfortably in his arm chair, surveying his boots, which are invariably en- conced on the top of his desk, or Mr. Houston, of Alabama, jumping around the floor and bawling out, “Gad, that’s first rate—hit him again!” Or Mr. Botts, the gentleman who had the honor of sleeping with Capt. Tyler, with his boots on, oraeulously informing a choice knot of trends as to Mr. Clay’s private opinion of public affairs. This isall right in the democratic branch; but in the Senate a more dignified feeling is supposed to prevail. This is, however, a mistake. Man is not, naturally, a dignified animal, and it is as much as Senators can do (and they very often fail even in that) to keep up their grave character whilst engaged in debate. It is not anuncommon thing to see an honorable Senator approach ano- ther, and give him a scientific dig in the ribs, or a slap on the back ; or to hear an audible invitation to go over to John Foy’s and have a drink ; and neither is it avery uncommon thing to see honora- ble Senators, on their return, vainly endeavor to gain their seats without tumbling over half adozen Geeks in the effort. We have seen a book of autographs, collected in the Senate during the. last two or three days of the session, and never did anything more clearly pourtray the sufferings of an unfortunate body than do some of the remarks which accompany the signatures. Here you see an,expression of condo- lence with other Senators at the eatrapraicny aif of gab which appertains to Mr. Foote :— Lord hele us, Foote’s at it yet. 2 o’clock, Sunday morn- ing.” And again, over Mr. Atherton’s signature, the commandment to keep holy the Sabbath day.. Mr. Dayton thus writes on Saturday:—‘ A hot night and dull debate—an impatient Senate. At 12, noon, on Monday next, we will have done with it all, and hope to be clear of it, asthe coun- try will be clear of us.” We commend the hon, . ene for his agumen. Again, on the same lay, Mr. ‘Tom Corwin gives vent to his excited feelings :— A dark coy The last of a pak session. A furious, yet dull, debate going on at P.M. Three calamities that would have made Job half yield to his frail wife’s advice, ‘Curse God and die.’” Staid, sober Governor Metcalfe says, at 4 o’clock, Sunday morning—* Foote is giving us a lecture on Jewish institutions. I sup- pose he imagines it’s the most appropriate subject on the Subbath day,” But, to cap the climax, the Rev. Mr. Slicer writes that he is “the friend of God, and the friend of man for God’s sake!” Can philanthropy go further ? 3 Now, there 1s no harm in this. All men are like; and if one has some shining ic, he is sure to be wanting in seme other The only man whom we believe to be an exception to thisis Mr. Calhoun. His lignumvita counte- nance seldom relaxes into a smile, and when it does is a very grim one—he 1s the great man al- ways. Webster, Benton, and a host of magnates, can laugh and talk like other men, and often a great deal more foolishly, After all, Shakspeare was right,—* All the world’s a stage.” And when you peep behind the curtain you see the tinsel, whether it be in the Senate or the theatre. A grand democratic outbreak is to come off this evening. Among the inducements held out are Chinese lanterns and a band of music, together with several distinguished speakers. Omeca. Wasuinaton, Sept. 2, 1848. Removals of Government . Oficialsx—A Novel Scheme--'The Florida Everglades—Senator West- cott—Great Destcuction of Snakes, Alliga- tors, étc.—The Democratic Assemblage Last Night—A Dialogue Between Two Members of Congress—The Steamships. The removal of B. F. Butler, for his political heresies, does not surprise us. The walking pa- pers of Marcus Morton, collector of the port of Boston, were made out to-day. A dozen others, “of the same sort,” will shortly keep them com- pany. An interesting report was made by the Commit- tee on Public Lands, two days before the ad- Jéurnment of Congress, and has just beem issued from the press. The navigating interest, and the mercantile interest, of the Atlantic cities, and of Mobile and New Orleans, should not lose sight of the valuable suggestions contained in it for the prevention of wrecks on the Florida reefs.— Statements of an authentic character show that more thas a million of dollars’ worth of property is annually lost on the reef. The draining of the Ce lng or rather the cession of that region to Florida, is the primary subject principally treated of in this report; and visionary as the scheme was thought, when Senator Westcott, last year, first brought it for- ward, he has, in our opinion, made a case so strong that Secretary Walker, Commissioner Young of the Land Office, and the Senate com- mittee on public lands, by Judge Breese, its chair- man, have yielded, and endorsed his project. A report by Mr. Buckingham Smith, of Florida, who was appointed by the Secretary of the Trea- sury, in 1817, to examine the glades, figures con- epicuously in the document, and is a well written and able paper. A dozen of the first officers of the army and navy, and of citizens acquainted with the locus in quo, have given letters speaking in the most favorable terms of the project. The Florida Senator, if he succeeds in effecting his object, and if his scheme proves triumphant, will be known in history as “Old Everglades,” just as Col. Benton is as “Old Bullion,” General Jackson as “Old Hickory,” Colonel Johnson as “Old Te- cumseh,” General Taylor as “Old Rough and Ready,” and Father Ritchie as “Old Nous Ver- rons.” If one half of his predictions be realized, the distinction of having conceived and breught forward the measure, will be one that any states- man of any country ya envy. It is to create, a region of bogs, mo- to manufacture, out of rasses, swamps, fens, and sink-holes, a new State, greater in extent than Rhode Island and Delaware put together, and larger than the “ Schoolmaster State,” Connecticut, and now the resort of all kinds of imaginable reptiles, from the manite, or sea-cow, (or walrus, a species of the phoca weighing two thousand pounds, one of which Col. Harney killed in 1810) down to the tiny mus- quito and sand fly, and including every variety of snakes, and a ‘choice assortment of alligators, frogs, and terrapins, lizards and bugs, and trans- mognify it mto orange, citron, lime, lemon, pine- apple, and banana groves. It isan extraordinary project, even in this day of wonders. What are ‘we coming to? Steamengines, lightning telegraphs. railroads, and the daugereotype, have been invent —annexation is pretty well understood, and is now a settled prinesle of the laws of nations—and now we have a plan to make a new country, out-and- out, ab ova, or rather ab swampo! We should not be surprised were some genius to propose to make a new planet, and set it agoing in * ethereal space,” provided Congress will grant him a pre- emptive right to all the lands in it, and if it can be arranged and settled in advance that there shall be no dispute about the Wilmot proviso principle of free soil. It is said that the chief drawback to the senator's feelings of exultation at the fair prospect of the good success of his scheme, 1s that it will cause the cruel destruction of myraids of innocent “ varmints.” ‘The extermination of alli- ators and snakes that will be occasioned by the Srainog of the everglades, will be beyond con- ception. They will be unswamped by the process he proposes, and tumbled, not into the Potomac, where he wanted to tumble President Polk about @ year ago, but into the briny ocean; which, it 1s supposed, would be disagreeable to as Salt River to the vanquished politician. A geolo- gist has hinted the draining the glades of seven or eight feet water from a region of a hi and fifty miles in length by fifty in width, may possibly eceasion an upheaying of the limestone rock be- neath ; and thus relieved from the superincumbent weight, it may occasion a kind of deputy earth- quake. ‘I don’t care a fig,” said the senator i reply, “for your earthquake. If Congress wi give my State the land, or drain it at the public expense, they may pass an act directing an earthe quake to occur once a week. It wouldn't st wome from raising limes for the punch-drinki: Yankees ; and, upon the whole, I prefer a st’ sprinkling of earthquakes and volcanoes, for they proud e us some variety and scare off the ube. ion: Should nothing more interesting be presented as the substance for a letter, I may again advert to the subject, in my next communtic: B On Thurday, the 1 ugh and Ready Club, as you have already been informed, held a meeting in the Olympic theatre, where General oe Tr was lagded, and Gen, Cass abused, by the whig mem- bers of Congress. Last night, per contra, « large crowd was on the ‘free soil” in front of the plat~ form, near the Union office, where, among orher subjects, the “federal party’s ancestry” were fully expored by twoother members of Congress, Messrs.
