There were large sales of all the fancies, and the bears effered any quantity of stock; but the bulls have lost much of their copfidence in an immediate rise in prices. Money is not so plenty as previously reported. '; The drain upon the banks for specie is tightening the anarket; and if the demand for coin continues for any “Jength of time, at the rate realized during the present week, the fenoies will drcp eff several percent. Yester- day, more than two hundred thousand dollars were paid into the Custom House for duties, being the largest amount paid in any single dey; and to-day the payment, amount te more than one hundred thousand dollars, making nearly three hundred a fifty thousand dollars, drawn principally from the banks, in two days. The drafts upon the ‘Treasury, paid in the eame period, amount to about one hundred and fifty theusand dollars, but @ portion of which went into the vaults of the banks, ‘The effeot of this upon the money market, is visible in the depreciation of stocks, and gives the beare the oendancy. Theonly chance for the balls is the re. ceipt of good advices from California. Welare hourly looking for later accounts via New Orleans, Chagres and Panama.

It will be perceived that the cash entries have been emall, compared with those entered by warrants. The receipts at the treasury department from the sale of public lands, for the year 1848, must be small; much Jess than in any previous year; in consequence of the great number of land warrants issued, and the great number located. Wisconsia is one of the most thriy- ing States in the western country, and we have no doubt s greater number of warrants have been located in that State than in any other. Its climate, soil, and geographical position, are all of the most desirable eracter, and the inducements for emigrants to settle within her limits are very great; #0 much s0, that the population is probably increasing with greater rapidity than any of the new Western States.

Something Definite Regarding the New Oubmet— Washington Labor- Saving Machine—The ern = Address—Mr. Stephens’ Resolution— The Fine Arts, $e. ‘We learn from private advices which have bees, received, that Mr. Baylie Peyton, of New Orleans, is making preparations to remove tothiscity. This move has a remarkably strong squinting towards the Attorney Generalehip. We venture, upon the strength of it, to predict that Mr. Crittenden, if he accepts office at all—which 1s doubttul—will take the State Department. Put this on record. Every thing here, in a political way, is in te of sus- pennies but we ba to assure General Taylor that je need give himeelt not the slightest uneasiness about the appointment of officials, &c., as that matter is all arranged for him--cut and dry. All he need do after the inauguration isto retire tothe Executive mansion and amuse himself. The Cathoun address, it appears by the Charies- ton papers, received only forty-six signatures out ofa body of Southern members ene-hundred and sixteen strong. This affords pretty strong proot of the extreme ultra ground taken by the address, aad wives the best evidence in the world that the great body of the Southern people repudiate fanaticiam eu deny much as do their brethren of the Northera It appears that Mr. Stephens’ resolution of en- quiry amounts to nothing. Grantog that the pro- tocol disagreed with the meaning of the treaty, it could not aflect the latter, which had passed buth branches of the Mexican legislature befere the explanations were made. We cannot, however, see that the explanations made by Messrs Sevier and Clifford are at all antagonistic to the articles in the treaty. What object is sought to be gained by the resolution in question, 1s somewhat difficult to gine; for we cannot believe that any one seri- ously contemplates such an absurdity as giving back to Mexico the Calitormia and New Mexico ternitory, Whatever party should attempt such a piece of folly, would soon fiad itvelf in a most un- comfortable position, The Mexicana Minister gew the credit of having suggested the matter of en- quiry to Mr. Stephens; but whether he deserves it or not, we cannot say. We visited the studio of Mr. Blondeil the other day, and were greatly gratified by an inspection of his gullery of painungs. Mr. Blondell tormerly resided in New York, but tor some years past he has pursued his profession in this city. He isa BELO the distinguished Willtam Page, of New ork. We particularly noticed a beautiful histori- cal picture or the Discovery ofthe Pacific,” by Vasco Naner. This picture istaken from Washiag- ton Irving’s Companions of Columbus, where he describes the early dawn of day, when Vasco Naper and his tollowers eet forth tor the Iadian village of Quaraqua, and began to climb the heights, filled with new vigor at the idea of the triumphant scene soon to recompense them tor all the hardships they had just undergone. Arrivin ata lofty and airy region of the mountain, tve bol summit alone remains to be ascended. Upon this, Varco Naner commands his followers to halt—that nO man is to stir from his place ; thea, with a pal- pitating ‘heart, he ascended alone the mouatan tep. On reaching the summit, the long desired Ryoenect burst upon his view. 1c wasas if the New World was unfolded to htm—separated fro:n all hi- therto known by the mighty barrier ot mouptains. Belcw him extended a vast chaos of rocks and forests, green savannahs and meandering streams, while at a distance the waters of the pri mised Ocean glittered in the merning sun. [tis this last scene where Vasco discovers the Pacific, which the artist has se:zed upon, and, we consider, most admirably depicted. The tropical climate ie beau- tifully represented. We believe it 18 Mr. Blundel’s intention to send this picture to the Art Union, as also a view of the Catskill Mountains, and an autumnal scene, both rich in coloring. They will, doubtless, be much admired. We noticed avery ocd .ikeness of General Cass, the old gentleman looking as good natured as if he had just neen elected President, or was engaged in digesting the whole of Mexico. The eloquent Mr. Lump- kin, M. C.. also shone out trom the canvass very lite-like. There are several other excellent pic- tures in Mr. Blondell’s gallery, which, however, we cannot now notice particularly. t Preparations for the grand ball are going on with Great spirit, and it will doubtless be a aplendid offair. By the way, a certain gallant lieutenant of the navy, whoee attention to his duties, as well as his particuler fitness to discharge them, received anything but complimentary notices trom the Tin- bune, come time since, started this morning to Baltimore, for the purpose of disposing of ball tickets. This ia' certainly rather strange employ- ment for an ofhcer of the navy; but, ou the whole, itie perhaps commendable, as there can be lutle doubt he will be more successful in his new sphere of duty than in that upon which the Tribune se highly complimented him. Wasninaron, Feb. 7, 1849. The New York and Massachusetts Passenger Law Case—‘The Bills for the Public Printing—The Ball withowt Distunctron of Party. The question of the constitutioaality of laying a tax on foreign immigrants having heretofore been | argued before the Supreme Court, Justice McLan® this morning delivered the opinion of the court.— I; was concurred in by Justices Catron, Wayne, McKinley, and Grier, the Chief Justice in many respects dissenting. Some or the points held, we understood to be as follows: The law of NewYork levies a tax of a dollar and fifty cents on alien pas- sengers; the money thus collected goesin part, to the Marine Hospital—the overplus is appropriated for the reformation of juvenile quents. In the earlier history of our country it was a cherish- ed principle to encourage immigration, A State | may lay a tax ona ship, or ona coach that car- 2 Crus, | ries the rail; but this does not nee commerce FRANKLIN, President’ | orthe mail. The law of New York is called a health law; butitis not. The money might, with as much propriety, be appropriated tor the support of the criminal courts as tor the reformation of ju- venile delinquents. True, for the public safety, a law might be passed to guard the public health, and to protect the community from [sara po rom. abroad to give security that they will not come upon the people for support. Congress has passed laws allowing two passengers for every ton bur- den, and the constitution says that “ no preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue, to the ports of one State over another; and, again, that Congress shall have power to “ re ee commerce.” Congress has passed laws to lay imposts on merchandise, but not on passen- gers, who are plainly not articles ot merchandise. The law ot the United States requires captains to report to the collectors of the ports the number of passengers brought over in their ships, their places where born, and their ar penesnes t only eo tar as has been considered expedient. So the law laying the tax has been decided to be we he bide for thi ‘int { Congress were open- pide for the printing of Co: ed this morning, and we hind that to William M.
