Sanday, Aug. 26—6 P. M. Notwithstanding the slight impro it ia quota- tions for stocks on Friday, the market closed heavily yesterday, and there was every appearance of more than the advance being lost. The bulls are vory easily elated; an advance of a fraction of « per cent is suff- cient to revive all their hopes, and induce them to be- lieve that we are upon the eve of one of the speculative movements of olden times; but the next twenty four hours chap, the whole complexion of their feelings, ‘and they find the little advance has slipped through their fingers. without being made available. It is the prevailing impression among the bull stock specu- Jators of Wall street, tbat the urval fall rise in stocks mest, at @ matter of coutre, be realized, and that out- siders will soon be as plenty in the street asin former seasons. In this they may be right; bat it is owr im- pression that they will be rorcly, sadly dispppointed. ‘There operators hold large lote of every fabey in the Hirt, in anticipation of rach « morement, most of which cost five, ten, 4 fifteen per cent above prices now curr and they are closely watebing the market, with the hope of extricating themselves from tl pleasant position in which they find them. selves. The prospect is indeed gloomy. The bull spe- eulators are ander the impression that the beans are short, or rather, that those who have for rome time part been selling stiort, will have to come Into the market roon as pirchasers, which will increase the de- mand to such an extent as to hi favorable effect upon prices, In this they are mistaken, A large ope} rator in ome of the leading fancy railroad storks has Jarge quantity to deliver during the noxt week or two, and he has every share of it ready for the maturity of Dic contracts, Tis ts the case with several shorts; and the delivery of this stook must press heavily upon thore who are obliged to take it, Within the next week or Qwo, immense quantities of Harlem will bo delivered, which was porehased at 62; of Long island, purchased et 25 227; Canton Company, purchased at 42; Read- ing Railroad, purchased at 49; Erie Railroad, ehased at 62 « 63; and fo on, throughout the lis ‘and the bulls must have more backbone than we think they bave, if they ¢ carry these stocks yong, at euch prices. A comparison of these prices with those current at the clore of the market yoeter- day, will show the extent of the depreciation; but it must be borne in mind, that from one to two per cent must be added to the prices paid, for the seoumata- tion of interest against. the purchaser. In the face of h facts, what probability is there ef the bulls get. ting apa rise? In ordinary seasons, this margin woald be diffenit to remove, and the prospeet, far from fiat- Yering; but under existing cireamstances, it is mtterly ent of the question, The spirit of rpeoulation Is lite- Yaily dead, Outelde operators have been #0 severely Ditten, that they bare as great a horror of fancy stocks een mad dog of water, and the mere mention of some of them, Is enough t give the rufferers eonvulsiens. ‘Within the past year, so many facts have transpired velative to the miemanegement of the eompynies re- presented by there fancy stoeks, and to the utter worth- lesenese of the shares, that people begin to get their eyes open, and look more deeply into these eoneerns. They do not invest their money in them so heed- leesly as in former times; and the result of any investi- getion isa repudiation of them in every shape. The Wall street bubbies have all exploded, and the ruins have falien upon and may crush those who have been so busy for so mavy yeere inflating them. I is a seurce of some satisfaction to us, that the faney st cks are held and owned principally by the brokers, and the loss will fall heavily upon them, if outsiders are not insane enough to be drawn in and saddled with some of the trash. The entire strueture of stock specu- lation bas tumbled upon those who prepared it for the destruction of others, and we trust they will be left to bear the burden of their own folly, It is amusing to see the bulls in faney stocks in the street anxiously watching the arrival of a steamer from Europe, One would think, to hear them predict what the news would be, that the werthiess trash they deal in was affected by the prices of consoff, or the amount of bullion in the Bank of England. It is rich to hear a holder of Harlem or Long Island Railroad stocks aesert, with all the confidence in the world, that there must be an advance in thege stocks, because ‘here had been an improvement in cotton, consols had risen, the Bank of England had largely increased its bullion basis, and the Hungariaps had whipped the Austrians and Russians. As well might a sporting man on the Union race-course bet # certain horse would win because one of the same color had won the | Derby stakes, It would be exceedingly diffloult to tell what is the cause of the rise, at amy time, in these stocks, or how they are sustained within fifty per cont of pricesnow ruling; but it is as clear as moon-day that the actual value of any of them has very little to de with it. The annexed statement exhibits (he quotations for the principal speculative stocks in this market, for each day of the past week, and at the close of the week previous. It will be perceived that prices have been very uniform:— Qvorarions yor THe ParvorvaL Socks mm THe New Yoru Maaker. Sat. Men. Due, Wed. Thu.

Holders of some descriptions of goods, particularly domestic woollens, have become firmer as the demand increases, and the impression is that wool- Jen fabrics of all kinds must advance. The market for domestic cottons has been pretty well sustained, and there is no probability of any concessions being made in favor of purchasers, so long asthe demand conti- nues anything like what it is at present. Brown sheet- inge, shirtings, and bleached goods bave slightly ad- vanced during the past week, without checking sales, and large orders for the home trade have been fulfilled. The demand for exporthas bee limited; printed cloths and prints have sold freely, lately, at previous prices, | but they are not settled, the indications being iu favor of an dant as the recent large importations would induce us to believe, and some descriptions are already getting scarce. Two or three weeks’ active business among the jebbers thin out their stocks, creates a demand upon the importers, and makes up orders for a further im- portation. There are several vessels nearly due, with full cargoes, and their arrival will fill up the supply of some sorte really wanted. It is now the impression that an average amount of busineks will be transacted here this fall. The value of foreign dry goods import- ed inte this port for the week ending the 23d inst.. was $1,877,478; withdrawn from warehouse, $246,100; en- tered for warehouse, $164,695. The value of foreign dry goods imported for the same period in 1843, was $1,088,326. The value of all exports from this port, for the week ending August 23, was $643,563, being but about one-third of the value of the importation of dry goods alone.

Indian Tyaders— The Overshadowing Power of the Secretary of the Interior—Important Decison— Arrearage of Pay--The Hon. John M’ Lean— Contemplated Rescue. The great mass of the people have no sympathy with the cormorants who now importune the ad- ministration for rewards, in return for their parti- san services. Political trieksters excepted, they desire the public business to be honestly transact- ed, and wish to be made acquainted with every- thing connected with the operations of the general government. ‘The Indians, the pure ‘native Americans,” with all their ferocity, have relatively suffered more from white men, than white men have from them; and so will this state of things continue until the red man disappears before the encroachments of the pale face. Notwithstanding treaty obligations, we ind that ree to the aborigines do not alto- gether cease. e Great Spirit seems to have for- saken, and the Great Father, at Washington, ex- ercises an impotent jurisdiction over them, Certain claimants and their agents, however, re- ceive more uttention from the citief director of the Indian Department now than in times past; and the following, as an index to other official transactions, may be recited, viz: About the year 1801, a claim for two or three thousand dollars was presented to the government against the Pottawatomies. The only evidence of the indebtedaess of the savages to the trader, was a sheet or two of letter paper, the items written in the French language, and, in- stexd of dollars and cents, the words ** plus” and “skin” were employed. The claim was adjudicated at the instance of the Indian bureau, and disallowed. In 1809, this “* Monsieur Toason” cume again, and a secend time was denied. On two other occasions it shared a similar fate, and was considered as finally quieted. I’or a period of twelve years, we believe, the claim slept; and scarcely had the Secretary of the loterior put on the exterior garb of office, before the ghost, fora filth tame, appeared! The winning eloquence em- ployed by an attorney, caused Mr. Ewing, without requiring @ strict examination, if any at all, to write a few lines for the payment of the money, This was brought to the Commissioner ot Indian Aflairs at that time, (Mr. Medill), who, being aware that the stale, antiquated claim was not sup- ported by competent proot, and that former execu- live officers had considered and decided against it, referred the order to Mr. Clayton, the Second Au- ditor of the Treasury, who, on two or three pages of foolscap, gave an opinion aguinst the allowance of the money, tor the reagons stated, and sent it to Mr. Parrish, the Second Comptroller, saying that the claim ought not to be allowed, unless the order of the Secretary of the Interior be biading on the accounting officers of the tae A The Comp- troller, we believe, has repeatedly checked the drawing of money out of the exchequer when not satitfied that the object was righteous. Being a democrat, and the administration whig, and the attorney for the claimant desiring it, he submitted the papers to Attorney General Johnson, for his de- cision. This gentleman decided in favor of Mr. Ewing’s peering, and the money was pai ‘The Secretary’s order thus overrode all the checks and officers of the Treasury department! Tae claim was nearly half a century old, and was al- lowed, notwithstanding the final, adjudications, end the six or seven treaties, within that period, with the Puttowatamies, which treaties, it is said, settled all claims. tf not strictly, the proceeding, we have reason to believe, 1s substantially true. The Pottowatamies seem to be unfortunate. W. G. and G. W. Ewing brought in an account against them for $40,801. For the larger portion of this money the chiefs and head men had given their notes. On this and kindred subjects, the former Commissioner of Indian Atiay ne nual report last December, remarked, (in the courte of an argument why thirty-three certain claims ogeinst_ different tribes, amounting, in the aggreguie, De a Baaed nearly the whole of which 1s ageinet the Pettowatamies, the Miamies and the Sacs and Foxes, should not be paid,) that the charges ate generally agumst individual Ia- dians, and would, therefore, seem to be indi- vidual and not national liabilities; and that there is great diversity m the amounts, go that teat inequality and imjustice would result irom their being paid out of the common funds. As the claims now stand, it is impossible to make any safe decision in regard to them, short of re- Jecting the whole idunder the circumstances, the best and probably only practicable mode ol making any eatisfactory and final disposition of them, would be for Congress to authorize the ap- pointment of a_ commissioner to investigate them ‘on the spot, with power to take testimony and ex- amine witnesses, in order to ascertain satisfac- torily how far they should justly be regarded as national or individual liabilities, whether the charges are just and reasonable, and all other facts and circumstances which should be taken into consideration ia maki: final decision upon them. ‘The recommendation has not been com- phed with; but Mr. Ewing, in this case, as in the other, ordered the amount on the face of the claim to be paid, wnd the attorney, a Western whig ex- member of Congress, bousted that he made five thousand dollars by his professional tact. The money will be taken out of the Pottowatamie an- nuity, Which the law says shall be paid per capita to these Indians. . ; These things are talked of in Washington, and my information comes from arespectable quarter— fiom a gentleman known for probity and veracity.

Several days since, in adding up his accounts, we are informed it was discovered that govera- ment owed him lance of four hundred dollars, which he may expect shortly to receive, a draft having been already prepared for him. It wae stated, a few weeks since, that an Ame- rican citizen was put ashore somewhere in the Straits of Magellan, y the officer in command of a vessel from the North, bound fou California. ‘The Secretary of the has ordered Captain Gardner, of the Vandalia, which will shortly set rail, to look in there, and recover the man. If the saveges refuse to make a surrender, afew hot shot will not be deemed inappropriate. G. Wasnixaton, August 22, 1380. The Cabinet. The cabinet is a unit of contrarieties. Selected from the different sections of the Union, and re- presenting its diverse interests and opinions, it ‘was proper and inevitable that it should be discor- dant in its individualities, though homogeaeous or otherwise in its combination. ‘The two primary considerations in its selection were— 1. The representation of diflerent sections and different States. 2. A harmonious and powerful combination. The original plan of the cabinet was overruled by various circumstances, and by the necessity of an immediate organization after the installation of the new President. From these causes three mem- bers, at least, were chosen, not dreamed of by the politicians in the original estimat and unex- ‘tedly to themselyes—they were, Mr. Preston, r. Collamer, end Mr. Crawford. The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Meredith, was also an after thought, Horace Binney being the originally Cesignated individual. From the necessities of the case, therefore, the cabinet was hastily appointed, and without the opportunity of a deliberate inspec- tion of the details. Experience, thus far, has proved them to be co- hesive, concurrent, and devoted to the Executive, more or less; and on the other hand, Gen. Taylor 1s doubtles: esed of the idea that no better cabinet could have been selected under the circum- stances. But their cohesiveness has = been trred in the ay jation of the offices, their concurrence only in the expulsion of the locofocos from the public patronage. Upon principles, their unity remains to be tested—apon the question of the succession, their harmony has yet to be proved. On the broad issues between the two 8, thi diflerences in the cabinet are as the difference be- tween Mr. Collamer and Mr. Crawford on the pro- viso—or ae between Mr. Ewing and Mr. Preston on ie bank question. We believe them to be united— the sub-treasury; ear he annexation of Cuba; And divided upon the question of the annexation of Canada; " Divided on the _— : Divided on the k question; Divided on French apoliations; Unanimous for internal improvements; Diseordant on the tariff question; but United in favor of some protection; and Divided on the question of the succession. In all t divisione, in ail these unities, Mr. Clayton is @ conservative, except apon the tariff, the internal improvement, and the French tion where of them all. he is “altra whig” in is pretty generally gespectyd that Mr. Cla th * Ei head— hart eR ON Meredith i si and Messrs.

Johnson Preston are the only original Taylor men of the lot; the others, who are not g forward for themselves, look back with remorse upon the fate of Henry Clay. } Mr. Clayton 1s a tactician, and plumes himself upon his ‘sagacity. He is, however, if we take not, the father of the tariff of "46, for had let Jarnagin ulone, the bill would have remained in committee, because without Jarnagin’s vote. it could not have been recalled — Let that pass. Mr. Clay ton’s present object is to build up a new whig party on the ruins of the old—to come down from the fofty battlements of whig exclusiveuess more nearly to the level of the Py! sustain the card of the campaign of ’48 as far as consistent with the main object of the expulsion of the focos. In other terms, he would recognise the whig party ap the Taylor republican party, and abandon on many poms the old exclusive whig dogmas for more liberal notions. He would do it as a matter of policy. He has tried the experi- ment and ithas failed. The democratic votes for General bed have gone back, and they cannot be recalled but by the same bold act of the ad- ministratien—something positive and not ny tive—such an act, for instance, as the ac juisition of Cuba, the recognition of Hungary, or the ex- pulsion of the British from the Mosquito coast, or the annexation of Canada. Two or three positive things like these would put Mr. Clayton ia a fair way for the succession. The difference between whig and democratic ideas is, that those of the for- mer are negative, of the latter positive. To hold the reins against the democracy, the administra« tion must assume a positive position before the world—muetbe the advocate and agent of positive meaeures, adapted to the progressive spirit of the people. A negative stand still position will hardly jasta year. Lt is the ambition of the people to see the country progressing, and the commanding atti- tude of the government impressed upon other na- hons. The age of * masterly inactivity” is gone, and this is the age of action. A man who does nothing loses caste; a goverament that does no- thing must cease to be populur. . Mr. Meredith is a man of brilliant talente, but inexperienced as a politician and statesman in a commanding post. A great deal depends upon his tuations Preston impor- ficiently modest to desire no higher first report to Congress, and it, will require all his ability to rebut the evidence of Secretary Walker. We doubt not, however, he will present a strong array of statistics in favor of increased protection to iren and coal, as calculated to advance our ma- nufactures of iron, the work at the coal mines, and to reduce the prices of iron and coal—a thing which it is bard, from the rules of arithmetic, to compre- hend. But, as there yet is time enough to touch upon the prospective reports of the Secretaries, we shall waive further speculations upon them for the present. The ability, the talents, the capacity of the Secretary of the ‘Treasury, will be exhibited in his report. The reports of Mr. Walkerestablished him as one of the very ablest financiers of the day; and if Mr. Meredith exhibits the same abilities, or an equal capacity for the office, he may ¢ his own price of the whig party. ‘Tne finances, next tothe great measures of policy before the State department, afford the most profitable capital for the investment of an active politician. But, of all the men in the cabinet, Mr. Ewin, is the most positive. He is, indeed, the oaly ** ~ tra whig” of the corps. The position of He Clay upon every public question is his position, ai a quarter over” on the proviso. The “ ultraism” of the cabinet isnot to be measured by their una- nimity in the work of rotation, They are providing for their friends. ‘They wilt soon have to provide for the country and the government, ia conjunc- tion with Congress. ‘The sanction of the proviso either for New Mexico or Califorma, lops off a member or two of the cabinet—a veto dissolves it.

The free soilers will never consent to its cession to Texas— the South will not consent to the proviso—the North will not permit the introduction of slavery. It isa question which will test the unity of cabinet in any shape, and in one form or other it will have to be met. [tis all plais sailing now; but from and after the meeting of Congress, the unity of the cabinet, and the strength and capacity of us several members, will begin, and only then begin, to- be tried by ex- perime! The session will not expire without eflecting its changes or its improvements.
