There appears to be little disporition to operate | many of the fancies until after the holidays, and ve therefore !ook for very little alteration in prices, until after the lst of January. The bulls are sanguine re- | lative to a further improvement, and are firm in their demands. Money continues cary, and is likely to be more abundant in the courre of the next six months, | than at any time during the part year. Should such | asstate of things be realized, the bull speculators will ave acbance to make up rome of their heavy losses, from the great depreciation in the market value of stooks, \ There were 3.455 packages of domestio cotton manu- Sactures, valued at $147,507, exported from Boston during the two weeks ending the 23d inst.

The State Trustee devotes most of his time to the work, and the interest of all parties concerned, and the greatest confidence is placedin his management where he is untrammelle1 by bis ab- rent colleagues. It would be well for the Legislature of the State of Illinois to investi; the affairs of the ‘Trustees of the canal, and passa bill regulating the ralary and duty of each upon # more equitable basis than at preeent exists. The funds of the State have been mie-appropriated. so far as the payment of sal is concerned, and the public finances are notin sush a thriving and prosperous condition as will permit tho expenditure of five thousand dollars # year with impu- nity. The instalment of interest to be paid on the Ist of January will be small—smaller than is generally an- ticipated. The annexed statement exhibits the amount of the everal stocks issued by the State of Indiana, under he act for liquidating the public debt, up to the 1st of July, 1848 :— Pusuic Dent or Inpiana—Isi or New Stock, $4,579,000 00 1,642 617 50 079.500 00 499 500 00 236 per cent Special Preferred pal stock 1,215,625 00 24 per cent Special Deferred Canal stock. 146.550 00 Total of stocks issued to July lst, 1848. .$12,161.092 50 Of the foregoing, the State is paying interest only on her 5 per cent State stook, at the rate of four per cent. After the year 1853, the rate of interest on this will be 6 per cent. After 1853, the 2¢ per cent State stocks will draw interest at that rate. The remaining stocks are thrown upon the Canal, and their redemption, principal and interest, de- pends upon the receipts from that work. The Canal, during the past year, earned about one hun- dred and twenty four thousand duliars; but no pay- ment has been made to that portion of the State creditors who hold the Canal securities. The holders of these bonds are, in fact, no longer creditors of the gtate, their claims having been relinquished; under the new arrangement, holders of the special pre- ferred will receive the interest on their bonds first, im consideration of having subscribed the amount necessary to complete the Canal. The domestic debt of the State, according to the recent report of the Auditor, was as annexed :— Domestic Dest o+ Inptana, Oct 31, 1848, Six per cent Treasury Notes, outstanding on the 81st of October, 1847 Amount cancelled in 1848, . 27: Amount on hend to be cancelled............ 62.740 209,470 cent Treasury Notes ......eeessereeseeres 94,000 803,470 One-fourth per cent Treasury Note: outstanding October 21, 1847...... $60,100 Amount cancelled in 1848.........+ 28,750 —— 31,350 Fi t Bank Sorip outstand.

The rate of delinquency in the collection of taxes is decreasing, and we have no doubt but tbatina few ‘years, perhaps by the year 1853, the annual expendi- tures of the State for all purposes, including interest on its aggregate indebtedness, will be promptly paid at maturity. The completion of the Wabash and Erie Canal will develope the agricultural resources of [ndi- ana very rapidly, and the increase of tolls will not only give those holding Canal bonds the interest on them, but the outlet that work will afford the farmers along the line, will increase the taxable property of tLe State, and give a greater revenue from that source, Stock Exenange. $1000 Trea Nts O's 160 106% 25 shas Canton Co 3 Tuo U 86% 16d 100 Reading RR v60 30° 1g a 1000 WO% 80 do 287% 1000 do "68 107 100 Harlem RR = baw 56 2000 d0'68 open'g 107% 0 do btw B64 5000 Tiinois TT stock 47 38" 50 do.

Bless you, I have been half dead with laughter ever since a rickety cab deposited me, a fortnight ago, in tront of the aplea- did tacade of the Capitol. Dull, in the midst of an hundred excited factions, and all the strug- gles, and wrigglings, and intrigues, and maamu- vres, with which, “From morn till n00n—from noon till dewy eve,” the desperate gamblers of party maintain their ua- ceasing clatter? The thing 13 impossible. The present state of the triumphant party beg- garsdescription. Every man is suspecting bis neighbor. In all directions, mystery, distrust, and confusion, prevail. Webster 1s darker thaa ever—tlike one of his own native hills in the midst® of athunder storm. Clayton tails to conceal his anxiety. Corwin is dumb. Reverdy Johnson looks wise, but keeps his own counsel. The followers of each of the prominent leaders, less circumspect than their masters, do not scruple to proclaim the jealousies, dislikes, aud suspicions, which agi- tate the camps of the opposite factions. Enter any one of those litle coteries, and you are at once impressed by the entire want of cohesion or concert amongst the most distinguished members of the ancient whig party. Ludicrous enough betumes, are the harmless explosions which daily occur. Office-seekers are terribly puzzled. They come here by the score; New York, as usual, con- unbuting fully her share of the supplicanta. But they cannot find rest for the sole of their foot. Now they are told that Ciayton can certainly set- tle their business; now they are exhorted to trust no one but Badger; and, anon, they are entreated to give themselves up unreservedly to the tender mercies of Webster. I wish you could see some «f those poor fellows, as they flit, like the shadows of Virgil or Dante, ‘from pillar to post, and trom post to pillar!” Some, perfectly rabid and dis gusted with all the pretenders at Washington, have started off tothe ‘General himself,” deter- mined to take time by the forelock, and put no ‘ust in chamberlains. But what precious bundles of detraction and slander, are daily despatched trom this city tothe peaceful abode of General Taylor! This ie one of | the most curious features of the present state of affairs, Every clique, every leader, every anxious aspirant, in order to prove his devotion, writes fully to Baton Rouge, and thus General Taylor obtains most delectable insight into all the twist- ings and turnings, the vices and meanness, of Washington politics. If these etrange epistles Meanwhile, the patriots at Washington, who daily epend themselves in the cause of the people, at the rate of from one thousand dollars to three thousand five hundred per annum, are not entirely sleeping. An old aid-de-camp of General Taylor— aman of no common sagacity—Mr. W. Grandia, by name—started, the otherevening, 1n the Balti- more cars, on a mission to New Orleans and regions adjacent. Mr. Grandin has been connected with one of the departments during the present admi- nistration, and will, do doubt, discharge his deli. cate duties with a great deal of good eense and discretion. We wish him a pleasant journey, and his friends in this village as composed a state of their nerves, and as good digestion, as present circumstances may render permissible, One very interesting topic of conversation, spe- culation, and no little excitement, is that of the or- ganship under the new administration. Already two rival interests begin to array themselves against one another. The whigs of the North abide by their ancient co-laborer, Gales. Formany years, the manufacturers of the East have zealously sustained the /ntelligencer. Donations, subscrip- tions, for one, ten, twenty, even a hundred yeara, have been, from time to time, remitted, in order to sustain the venerable organ. A desperate eftort ig now 1n progress to rescuscitate this aged almonee of the party” But, then, per contra, Mr. Bullitt, of the New Orleans Picayune, has issued his pri: vate circular, invoking the aid ot his friends 10 the establishment of an organ. Gallagher, of the Richmond Republican, it is said, 13 to be asso- ciated with Mr. Bullitt, in this important enter- prise. At this movement, the Northern whigs are no little alarmed. They aver that the new admi- nistration, if Bullitt succeeds, will be “all South,” and swear, by all the gods, that it must not be so, but that the order must be— “ Blow gentle Gales !”’ Gideon, an old whig printer, corpulent and faithful, talks of taking the field. He counts the cost, however, and tears the risk. Ile assails Tivman Smith, the indefatigable, and other sup- posed leaders of the Taylor men, every day, and implores them to give him some solid basis on which to open his battery; but, alas! his oracles are dumb. Mr. John O. Sargeant 18 looked to by Gideon, as his editor. But it is very doubtful whether Mr. Gideon will be able to screw his courage to the sticking point; so that the fight will be between the /ntelligencer and Mr. Built. A few days will probably bring forth some very cu- rious and entertaining developments touching this | matter of the organship. ‘A great deal of interest has been excited by your artic’es on the question of the purchase of Cuba. Mr. Miller, of New Jersey, as you are aware, in- troduced into the Senate, a few days since, a reso- luuion of inquiry relative to this business. Yield- ing to the solicitation of Mr. Berrien, the New Jersey Senator withdrew his, resolution for the present. But he will renew it in a few days. Mr. iler has, with a good deal of sagacity, ferreted out much interesting information on this impor- tant subject, and he takes a shrewd and intelligent view of it. In his opinion, the present administra~ tion contemplate the precipitation of the aonexa- tion of Cuba upon Congress on the heels of this session. Hence the effurt to keep all quiet till the proper moment. A very excellent project! There might be more indiflerent issues on which to fight | the battle in 1852, than this very question of the annexation of Cuba. It would be quite a cowp Wétat to project this weighty matter apon the political field of vision, at the close of the Poik administration. We are on the eve of great events. In the Canadas a most significant move- ment has just manifested itself. Ourneighborsin the British possessions have, it seems, just awakened to a sense ot the necessity of an adequate repre- sentation in the Imperial Parliament. An agita- tion to effect this has already commenced. The agitation will swell into one of imposing m nitude. It will eventually make deman which Great iritain will strenuously resist, and a revolution must be the result. Cana diat annexation on the Nori, and Cuban an~ nexation on the South, make up, aaas, ie agreeable features in the programme o| the future. In leaving this su ject, for the preseni:, let me state thata Senator, whose name I here- ni ith co ate, assured me that the arugies roe York Herald, on the negotiations. for the purchase of Cuba, have been completely’ and thoroughly sustained by the information | yehich he has obtained through the most und/oubted sources. More on this point anon. With reference to your proposals for veportang and publishing the debates of the houses of ‘Con- gem considerable interest has been elicited — y othing will be done with respect to the debates of the present session; but a system will oe ela- borated for the next Congress. Mr. C onager, a representative from your State, and @ ‘gentiemaa of great intelligence and public spirit, | gas devised a ofan which is, | think, eminently w erthy of ge- neral favor.
