We can notice no improvement in commercial af- fairs; indeed. many branches of business have exhibited rymptoms of further depression, among which may be classed the corn trade. The advance in prices, which the probability of the supplies of grain from the northern ports of Europe being interrupted by the war between the Germans and Danes gave rise to, has not been maintained; thefsanguine view which holders were at first led to take of the effects likely to be produced thereby, having since undergone considerable moditi- cation, An opinion new prevails that the difficulties between the belligerent parties will be settled sooner than was at first expected. and though the reports from the seat of war hardly warrant that conclusion, the Deiicf has had some eitect. ‘The latest accounts from America, advising us of # fall, on the other side of the Atiantie, in the value of flour, aud of an alteration in the exchanges of a nature to urage an export ot bullion from » had some intluence, it being deemed likely that shipments of breadstuffs will Le made from the United esto Great Britain with 4 view of obtaining a return in gold. ‘These causes, and the somewhat favorabl we which has taken piace in the weather, have had the effect of chee! the upward movement; indeed. at many of the princi: provincial markets a portion of the recent advance has again been lost ; the business done in wheat during the week having been at prices 1s. to2s. per qr. below. those ebtained soon after the news was received of the re- newal of hostilities on the part of Denmark, in refe- rence to the protracted Schieswig-llolsteia question. "To yenture onan opinion as to the probable future range of prices would, under the existing cireum- neea, be unsafe, much depending on the turn politi- cal affairs may take on the continent, aud still more on the charactor of the weather next month. We may, Aowever, state it to be our belief that, if nothing should ccour to give rise to uneasiness in regard to the crops the ground, that the chauces would be against, than in favor, of an advance in the value of agri- cultural produce ; being convinced that, even with 9 Baltic closed aguinat us, free trade will ensure sup- plies from other quarters more than adequate to the extent of our wants, The arrivals from abroad have, Lowever, been on a more moderate scale this week than dor a considerable time past; still. as already remarked, the tendency of prices has been downwards.

On Sunday these advices reached us, announc- ing only 9 new ships loading for our port, with a slight full im prices, counterbalanced by the rise in freights and a continued difficulty of negotiation ; and as they were favorably interpreted, notwithstanding the Liver- ool circular, received that day, announcing a fallof ‘4d, in consequence of the complicated state of affairs In Germany, which puralyses the trade in Manchester; and, notwithstanding, also. the considerable receipts in the different ports of the United States, which reach already 2.100.000 bales, oar market lid not lose ground, and the smaliness of our stock, added to the certai ty of triiling supplies for some time to come, has pro- duced some activity, purchases for consumption being regular The sales on Monday reached 1,000 bales, with stendier prices, and yesterday again 951 bales changed hands, at prices which denote au improvement of f1 on last week's quotations, The sales of the week reach about 9.128 bales, equalizing the receipts, which amount to 11.348 bales, leaving us with » stock of 24.125 bales, ‘as per statement at foot, The following were the sales effected, viz.: 3,779 bales New Orleans 1.587 * Mobile. . .

Within the last two or three days the accounts from Paris being more satisfactory re- epecting the disease, which is diminishing” gra- dually, buyers have ‘withdrawn from the market, and there is a greater desire to sell on the part of holders; in consequence we are pretty nearly on @ par ‘with the prices of the eommencement of last week. The arrivals of the week reach 649 tierces, 50 half tierces Carolina rice from Charleston, by Th.

The mails of the steamship Hibernia arrived in this city, last evening, at an early hour, and we are consequently enabled to lay before our readers full detuils of the important intelligence which she conveys to us from tke old world ; and which is one week later than what we were previously in possession of. Our limts prevent us from giving as muchas we wouldlike to lay before our readers, but we shell continue publishing extracts and cor- respondence, until all the interesting portion of it shall huve been before them. It will be seen from this intelligence, that the European continent is far from being composed; that the Austrians are meeting with severe checks, and that a general Kuropean wi not very im- probable. Our space to-day forbids our entering into detail. The New York Appointments. By our telegraphic despatehes from Washington, published in another column, it will be perceived that, in regard to the New York appointments, the long agony is over, and the highly respectable office-seckers and politicians with which the city abounds, may at once cease their music, their im- portunity, their intriguing, as well as their abuse of each other. These appointments were not expected to be taken up by the cabinet fora week yet, and they will, therefore, surprize our politicians somewhat. It will be perceived, as we indicated a few days since, mai neither Ex-Governor Young nor Ex-Mayor Brady, has got the office of Collector; but that it has béen given to ugh Maxwell, Esq., the gentle- man whose name was last mentioned in connec- tion with it. The rival cliques probably abused eacli other so much as to induce the President to give it toa third party. But if neither got this fat office, both have been given other government situations, with a view. perhaps, on the part of the administra- tion, of conciliating the cliques to which they re- spectively belong. Ex-Governor Young has been made Sub-Treasurer, vice ix-Governor Bouck; and Ex-Mayor Brady Postmaster, vice Ex-Mayor Morris, the present incumbent. This policy of con- ciliating the rival cliques may fail if Mr. Young should decline the Sub-Treasury, of which there isarumor. There would then be fat in the fire in earnest, Our politicians,who, in their own opinion, consti. tute the whole country, will breathe easier and more freely now thut these appointments have been dis- posed of. The gentlemen appointed are all good citizens, highly honorable men, and well qualified to discharge the duties of their respective offices. We have no doubt that they will give general satis- faction. The City Authorities and the Theatrical Excitement. Our new Mayor and Common Council have been in office a little over a week, and a very exciting time they have had of it. The Mayor, Mr. Wood- hull, has shown a great deal of firmness in sup- porting an actor, and forcing him down the throats of the people, nolens vol ns, on the stage of the Astor Place Theatre, at the dictation of a few individuals belonging to the highly respectable aristocracy of the upper portion of the city. In conducting this business, our new Mayor and his co-laborers have, no doubt, shown a great deal of firraness, and we hope that the same spirit will characterize their administration of our municipal affairs, in other respects, during the year. Let us see in what manner they can advantageously dis- play this spirit. This at once suggests the streets. For some years past, our streets have been a disgrace to our city; they have been knee-deep with mud in rainy weather, and knee-deep with dust in dry, which, when agi- tated by the wind, penetrates the clothing and lungs of the inhabitants, and injures goods in stores, toan incalculable amount, every year. Now, we submit to his Ilonor, the new Mayor, and to the gentlemen composing the legislative depart- ment of our city government, that the streets open a field for theirenterprise and firmness. Let them display those qualities in removing the mud and filth which, at the present time even, lie in our throroughfares, engendering disease, and emitting a stench that none but New York nostrils can stand. That dreadful scourge, the cholera, is hovering around us. It is approaching the metropolis, and if we escape its visitation it will indeed be a mer- cy. Let usnot invite it by dirty streets. Then, again, there is the subject of the taxes. It is well known there is no necessity for their being so high. Surely the government of a city like this can be conducted at a less expense than three mil- lians of dollars per annum? But there is no use in enumerating the catalogue of grievances which the unfortunate people of New York have suffered un- der for a number of years past. All we wish to say is, that we hope the new Mayor, and the whole government, will show the same firmness and de- termination in cleaning our streets and reforming the abuees of our city government, as they have shown in extinguishing the excitement caused by Mr. Macready performing against the wishes of a portion of our citizens, and supporting him by a large military force, at the dictation of another class of the community. Tux Miuatany Arranaements ror To-Day.— The whole of the First Division of the State Mili- tia has been ordered on duty to-day. A requisi- tion has been made upon other portions of the mi- litary of the State, and the United States troops are in readiness on Governor's Island, with the marine corps at the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, to re- spond to the call of the city authorities, We ap- prehend no disturbance ; but are happy to find that such ample precautions have been taken to pre- verve peace and order. Nine Tons or Parer!—We can assure our rea- deve, that during the week which has just closed, we used in this establishment nine tons weight of printing paper, by actnal measurement. This may seem incredible, but it is a solemn fact. It will be recollected that we published several double sheets within that period. Avnival oF THX Steamsuir Tennesser.—The stermship Tenneesee, Capt.

After the adjournment of the meeting in the Park on Friday night, a largo portion of the mob party as sembled at the Opera House, where it was snpposed another demonstration would be made. journment, however, the military were niready ground, and the mob shut out from t least, so far that no possible chance was afforded th to commence # serious attack upon the property About five o'clock in the afternoon, the troops took up their position in Washington and Tompkins Squares, to prepare for the work of the night, amd in good timo moved te the Inte scene of the riet. The whole mili- tary force numbered about two thousand, composed of portions of the fourth, tenth and twelfth rogimonts of Infantry, besides four companies of artil m1 cavalry, together with the whole po hundred men and one thousand ape About six} o'clock the military rounded the piace, and clored the streets, the mob at the same time hooting wad threateniag an attack.

The very air was rent with their yells and ouths of vengeance, “The police was brought, and, rushing among the crowd, arrested several cf the most prominent leaders, which. for atime, had the effect to quell the probubility of attack, The mob then changed their position to Fourth ave- nue, where an attack was made with stones upon the City Guard, from the marble yard near by, and which afforded them plenty of missiles. Several of the soldiers were then struck snd severely hurt. Mr, Stevens. ot the City Guard. Mr. O'Halloran. of the Montgomery Guard, and Mr. Coyle, of the Montgomery Troop, were struck and sericusly Lurt, especially the former, who was knocked senseless to the ground, the blow having been reccived on thehead. ‘These were immediately re- moved to the theatre, where surgeons were in attend- ance, and their wounds were dressed. ‘The mob was partially repulsed, but about nine ovcleck again railied, and commenced the attack from the marble yard, ui javing thrown up & barricade aerces the street. This was stormed, and the police succeeded in clearing the marble yard and arresting coms twelve or fourteen of the rioters. The attack on the City Guard was renewed, when they were ordered to charge their pieces. Amid the re- peated warnings. the stones flew thick and fast, and ceased not until the military had raised their muskets, and the Recorder preclainied that the next stone thrown would be tollowed by a fire from the troops. In avery short lime the crowd began to disperse, many having been arrested, and partial quiet was again restored; and, at the hour of midnight, ull fear of a re- action was at an end, in that quarter, though it was uppored an attack would be made upon the house of the Mayor, but the necessary precautionary measures dl the outbreak. THE ASPECL YESTERDAY MORNING. eterday meorni ¢ troops were withdrawn fiom the theatre, amd quict prevailed, A few policemen were still there, but the crowd had entirely dispersed, save a few women and children, who had assembled to witness the effects of the riot. There wore groups gathered on the corners, in dif- ferent scetions of the city, who spoke of the affair, some with approbation at the result, while others indulged in the language of vengeance; but the spirit of retaliation pocmed to have almest entirely died cut. At noon, yesterday, the general impression seemed to de that the trouble was at an end, though the necossary Hs € Rutiony will be continued to maintain the peace of Le city. Amcng the wonnded in the melée on Thursday night, and taken to the Hospital, was George A. Curtis, who died at two o'clock, yesterday morning. SCENE AT ASTOR PLACE IN THE EVENING. About seven o'clock in the evening of yesterday, the military ordered on duty, appeared at the scene of the late occurrence, which have occasioned such painfal excitement. The disposition of the armed forces was certainly most judicious; and the offorts of the police had prepared the way for carrying them fully and peaceably into effect, Early in the evening, detachg ments of the police, acting in accordance with their Chief, Mr. Matsell, were employed in dispersing the crowds which began to congregate in the Bowery, Broadway, Lafayette place, and other avenues leading tothe Astor Place Theatre. In the performance of this duty, on the part of the police, various scenes of more or less interest occurred. At the cerners of the streets adjacent to the scene of the tragedy of Thursday night, numerous groups were collected, engaged in dis- cussing the occurrences of that memerable occasion. It was remarsable that in all those assemblages, the subject out of which these lamentable occurrences ori- inated seemed to be almost wholly forgotten. We did not hear the name of Macready or Forrest men- tioned more than twice or thrice among all the little o were heavily charged with knots of citizens whom we passed in our tour through the now lionized portion of our city, A deep, earnest, but at the same time, a sober spirit of inquiry into all the facts of the case, which has now assumed so inte- resting a character, appeared to animate the gather- ings of the people of all classes. ‘All these groups were peaceable. As the police of- cers approached them, and requested the peaceably dis- posed to disperse, the crowd, on all sides, was at once broken up,and in a short time the immediate neighbor- hood of the thentre was quite deserted, In the Bowery, at a short distance from the building, there were consi- derable numbers of loukers-on, who scemed to antici- pate disturbance, and hundreds of persons were seen proceeding up broadway, towards Astor Place. ‘A rumor that Mr, Macready had been shot in Boston, which was promulgated about nine o'clock. caused con: siderable sensation; and, running like wild fire, of course furnished another topic of excited conversation, in the streets and all places of public resort. The hope was almost universally expreseed that this rumor was false. In this connection, it 18 proper for us to state, that amid all the melancholy, distressing, and unpre- cedented scenes of this week, in which we have min- gled—and our columns will show that we have been no inattentive or partial observers—we have not heard a single expression which could be construed intoa fixed determination of any portion ot our population to in- flict injury upon the person of Mr. Macready. Early in the evening, » number of solomn consulta- tions were held ameng the domestics, white and colored of Lafayette Place neighborhood. ‘The discussions of the parlor and draveing-room, hd found an echo in the kitchen and the pantry, While the respectable and comfortable occupants of those maguificent and ele- gantly furnished ubodes of opulence and luxury wero engaged in conversation about the occurrences of the week, the “ domestics" also talked the matter over, ex- prested their opinions, aud drew their own conclusions, On the whole, -o far as we ad an opportunity of judg- ing. the good sense, the sound judgment, and the reve- ar RE UE OST THY INQUPYT AT THE MALLS OF ‘TICE.

A curious scene was here shown. The body was in a cofia, and on the coffin vas a couple of plates, filled with tobacco, and several short pipes. Around the coffin was seated three motherly-looking fat women, with red faces, ing fut babies. and on @ small table were too empty bot- tles, A funny little Irishman was considerabl: liquor, and became very neisy, aud yet comical, wl- though on the solemn occasion of death, Timothy McGuin, 19 years; laborer, This young man was the peppost of his aged mether, and received a Pall in the left side. The deceased was residing with his mothcr, in the rear of No. 107 West 1ith street, and dicd soon after being brought home. On the Coroner calling to view the body, he was informed that it had been taken to Williamsburgh and interred, on a ccrtifi- cate given by Dr. Wagstafl, ‘This singular movement on the part of Dr. Wagstad, which was supported to have been done more through ignorance than anything wilful, will cause much trouble. as the body must be disinterred by the Coroner at Wiiliamsburgh, George W. Gedney, 24 years, born in New York, a broker, resided at No. 827th strect. ‘The deceased re- ceived a musket ball directly through the brain. It appears that on the evening of the riot, Mr. Gedney told his wife he was going out a little way. and would be back soon; but, untortunately, like inany others, he went up to the theatre to sve thé fun, as some termed it, and met his death, as above stated. This being the last call, the Coroner directed thelr course to the Tombs, and, it being then half-past one o'clock, the coroner told the jury to take # recess for fifteen minutes for dinner. At twoo'elock they mus- tered again, and proceeded to the Court of Session An officer was then despatched to the Mayor, Recorder, and General Sandford, stating that the coroner was ready to receive their testimony In the course of half an hour his houor the Mayor, Recorder Tallmadge, General Sandford, and General Hall, arrived. The Court room, by this time, was crowded with specta- tors, witnesses, and friends of the deecased parties, ‘The first witness sworn was Mayor Wordhull, and the next, General Sandford, whose testimony we give in full, knowing the intense anxiety felt by the public to know the facts in this terrible affuir, $ early as half-past ten o'clock, there was @ very lurge assemblage in the Hulls of Justice and in the front ef it, awaiting the arrival of the Coroner and the jury, who had gone to the several houses where the bodies of the slain were lying. and whieh could not be interred without a permit from the proper authority. The crowd in front of the door was densely packed, each person composing it being anxious to be the first one in the room where the testimony was to be taken, lot at tho theatre, and the conduct of the autheri- ties, in ordering out thé military and commanding them to fire, were the subject of warm comment and d bate whilst the people in and around the Tombs were waiting for the arrival of tho Coroner axd hisjury. By some, it was bitterly denounced as uncalled for and un- necessary, and, as evidence said, that the appearance of the military exasperated the people, who thought the autherities desired to curtail them of the right of ad sembling—that no disturbance took place till after the appearance of the soldiers ; while, by others, the course of the Mayor and Recorder was. with equal warmth, commended. The one class asserted that. if the mili- tary had not appeared, there would have been no riot- ing at all ; and the other, that if they had not been on the ground, the theatre would have been sacked and fired. Nor would the rioters, in the opinion of this latter class, have been satisfied with the destruction of the Opera House, In their opinton they would have increased in confidence and numbers, and after doing nll the damage they could to the theatre, would next have proceeded to the hotel in which Mr. Macready lived. have destroyed that likewise, and perhaps de- troyed the residences. and, in all propability, the lives of the city authorities, Such were the sentiments expressed. very warmly by the crowd that was in the Tombs, await- ing’ the arrival of the Coroner and his jury, and the ar- gamcnts by which they were sustained. The disputants, jewever, ef hoth classes, deplored the lamentable scene of Thursday evening last, and lamented that the lives of so many innocent people should be sacrificed, At length the carriages, containing the Coroner and the jury were announced to be in sight, and soon after- wards they drew up, At two o'clock, or a little before it, they arrived at the Tombs; but, inasmuch as their rence for the grent principles of justice, which characterized the deliberations of the Kitchen, wore at least fully equal to the councils of the drawing-room— for all were unanimous that they lived in trying times aud & very dangerous neighborhood DISPOSITION OF THE MILITARY FORCE. Broadway, at its junction with Waverley place, was occupied by three companies of the “ Washington Greys,” under the command of Colonel Borden ‘The commandants of companies on duty were Captains Lyons, Van Dyke, and Little, Captain Browne, of the same regiment, was «lso on the ground, rendering efll- cient service, and to him and Captain Little we express our acknowledgments for polite attentions. At this point a piece of ordnance was placed, facing down broadway. ‘The ground in Astor place, in front of the theutro, Was occupied by the seventh regiment Na- tional Guards, Colonel Duryea, Four tweuty-four pounders were also here, and « detachment of Ullerymen from Colonel Yates’ regiment (the 11th.) and 4 company of the “ Veteran Corps.” Lafayette lace, at its termination on Astor place and the howery, was gunrded by a strong body of police. Highth strect, in the rear of the theatre, and at its junecion with Broadway, was held by the ninth regi- ment, under Colonel Ferris, A piect of orduance was laced in Broadway. opposite Kighth street; sarved by & detachment of “ Washington Greys,” under Captain arian, We noticed on the ground Col, Yates, 11th Regt.; nd Col, Spicer, 2d Regt; with ether offleers of the division, Col, Bpicer had been on duty at the Arsenal on the provious night, with the Scottish companies, under command of Capt, Castle, Jt will be econ that there was a large force on the ground, fully prepared for any emergency likely to arise. ‘All was perfectly quict, The theatre was guarded by astrong body of police inside; and tho military not on duty were in readiness to oboy, at moment's notice, the summons for their presence. When the military made their appearance at the soene of their duty, there was some shouting; but it oon enbsided, and nothing, up till midnight, cecurred to disturb the stillness that prevailed—broken only by the tromp of the soldiery, or their conversation as they hive in thy deserted strevte duties in the morning had been rather arduous, and as they had partaken of no refreshment since morning, it wax deemed expedient not to commonce taking tontl: mony on the inquest before half-past two o'clock. On reaching the Court of Sessions, at a few minutes before three o'cloek, we found the Coroner and the jury in their seats, and a inrge audience in attendance, awaiting the presence of the witnesses, whose testi- mony was looked forward to witha great deal of inte- rest. Very soon afterwards, his Honor Caleb 8. Wood- vow Y ord, General Hall, and his Honor Recorder Tallmadge, entered the court, and took seats near the Coroner. Mr. Woodbull looked tired and exhausted; he bore visible marks of the mental ansiety and physical exertion which he underwent during the two days preceding. While giving his testimony, his voles was so low as to be in- audible at a distance of ten feet from where he sat. He evidently deplored the sad and melancholy scenes of Thursday evening, but felt consctous that what ho did do was, in his opinion, for the best. General Sand- ford, too, appeared to be much cast down; his face was sunburnt a great deal, and his voice was hoarse, from a cold which he contracted in the discharge of his ard ous military services, During the taking of the testi- mony, notwithstanding that the conrt room was filled, a dead silence prevailed; the falling of a pin oven could be distinctly heard in any part. Every word which clifrom the lips of the witnesses was cagerly caught; and in ease any one present imperfectly heard a parti- cular eentence or & particulur word. he immediately applied to the person next to him for a etition of it, t length the testimouy was commenced, Carre 8.
