The stock market opened heavy this morning, and motations for some of the fancies fell off a fraction: Zeime First Board, U. S. 6's, 1867, declined % per cent ; Erie Bonds, \ ; Reading Railroad, } ; Ohio 6's aa vanced !;. Most of the transactions were for cash, but there were seles of Harlem on time—sellers option, and ‘more offers without purchasers. Money is in more de- mand, and the banks discount cautiously, They prefeF eall loans on stock security, so that any contraction that may be necessary can be easily made. ‘This drives a great deal of business inte the street, where the ruling rates range from reven to ten per cent. The prospect is in favor of a tighter money market than we have realised for months, which will bring out large amounts ‘of stocks, which bave so long lain in the hands of parties in expectation of a rise. ‘At the Second Board there was very little activity, without any change in prices. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port to-day amounted to $105,000; payments, $44 970 ; advices, $70,000 ; balance, $2,801,844 53. It is in contemplption to hold a convention of direg tors and stockholders of the New England railroads, to consider the expediency and necessity of restoring the old rates of charges for the transportatiun of passengers and freight, for the purpose of insuring the increase of the different companies. It is the opinion of railroad managers in Massschusetts, that the present charges are much too low, and something muet be done to swell the receipts of these works. It is our opinion that any Smcrease in the tariff of charges will have an effect Just the reverse of that anticipated—that instead of imereasing, it will reduce the income and depreciate the actual value of the stock of all the companies that make the experiment. Low fares and low charges geverally increase the business on all railroads. They give an impetus to travel, and in increasing the num- Der of passengers, increase the gross income. Any ad- vance in the rates would have a greater influence upon the receipts from passengers than those from freight, and therefore affect the business of each company im its most vital point. The passenger business of railronds is the most profitable of all; and roads doing «large parsenger traffic are more econo- mically managed and more easily operated. There is very little profit in freighting business, and those roads that depend principally upon such trafile, really earn Dut very moderate dividen The wear and tear of motive power and machinery, the employment of a large number of men to trundle and dispose of the pro- perty transported, the heavy expenditures required for freight depots and storage room, the wear of track, & , Ae., draw largely upon the grovs income, and leave bat ermall per cent of earnings to squeeze outa paltry dividend. Parrenger traiiic is deoMledly the most pro- Stable, and therefore the most desirable. Railroads @ireetly commeoted with large cities, or connecting two lange cities, have an advantage over those running into the interior of a sparsely populated, wild, and unculti- vated country. Some of the railroads of this State are favorably located in this particular, especially the line raping from Albany to Buffalo, intersecting the nu- merous large towns on th hile the Erie Railroad and the Ogdensburg road will have to depend almost entirely upon their freighting business for revenue. We learn from the Syracuse Ster, and also frem the Roebester Democret, that at the meeting of the commit- tees from the Boards ef Directors of the Auburn and Syracuse and Auburn and Rochester Railroad Com- panies, held at Syracuse on the 22d instant, it was re- solved to apply to the Legislature to consolidate the stock of the two companies, forming a new corporation by the name of the “Rochester and Syracuse Railroad Company,” with power to construct a branch line or second track om the canal route, to run through Port Byron, Mentz, Savannah, Galen, Tyre, Arcadia and Palmyra, connecting at Victor. This will ‘ailroad facilites to all the important villnges on the canal be- tween Rochester and Syracuse. If this project is en- tered upon with earnestness, and is prosecuted with energy, it will, we dowbt mot, be entirely satisfactory to all persons intererted in the canal route, and will give them a railroad from Rochester to Syracuse mach sooner than they could otherwise ever obtain the same, ‘The committee consisted of the Hon William A. Sack- r. and Prie road, they would be obliged to lower the fare on this line, h could net’ be done if they were road contemplated trom Syracuse to Rochester—a view which seems very plausible t,om the part of the majority, it was contended that the New York and Erie read could not compete at present prices, since they were loving over $600 000 annually on the capital stook, and hence must raise (heir fare, or continue to lore money; and that the travel on both roads from'this city to Rochester would be more than jent to meet every outlay, the travel increasing in proportion to the facilitice which also seems very plausible ground ‘The fourth annual report of the Connecticut and Pasrumpric Rivers Railroad Company presenta the an- mexed statement of the receipts and expenditures of the six months during which the road been in ‘The read bas cont $1,125,917 ‘a. ot this capital, $050,002 66 ie paid in, amd $22,007 45 is due and avail- adie; leaving the debt of the Company (of which $33,- 600 64 ie due to earnings) $122517 51.

We are informed by a gentleman, in the confi- dence of persons wio pretend to know, that yes- terday was the day designated (if circumstances should permit) for the descent upon Cuba, by the newly organized corps of buffalo hunters from the United States. This army of occupation is com- posed of organizations of various kinds, some for rucular place—some ostensibly for California, pd some for the Sierra Madre States of Mexico; none openly reporting them:elves for Cuba; ani the leaders only of the various detachments being fully informed cf the designs of the combined ope- ration. ‘We suppose that there has been no invasion— that the stampede created by the President’s pro- clamation has either arrested the movement, or that it 18 not yet quite ready for embarkation. Our informant further advises us, thata planter from Cuba, who pagsed through this city yesterday, for New York, reports that the Creoles of the island expect an invasion, and are waiting for it—that four-fifths of the pastors of the island are looking for it—that they desire revolution and annexation, for these reasons:— 1. To escape the oppressive taxations and impo- sitions of the Spanish government. 2. ‘To share the blessings of the institutions of the United States. The best reasons in the world. Hungary has not a better cause against Austria than has Cuba against 8 Spain. Of one thing we haye but little doubt. If Cuba remains in statu quo till December, we have little doubt that the wudact will come up in the Senate, in the form of a resolution, ay the Presi dent to enter into negotiations for the purchase of the island, in opposition to resolutions which will certainly be introduced, hostile to the project. The annexation may be de layed—it canaot be sup- pressed. We understand, that as, in the case of the Mexi- can protocol, this Cubano-Americano eoosptracy was first discovered to Mr. CI layton by a foreign minister, and that the principal testimony laid be- fore. him’ was the result of the labors of the spies of Spain, paid by the Captain-General of Cuba, as a guarda costa’ along the seaboard of the Uoited States, upon all persons, especially from the islaoad of Cuba, supposed to be concocting or diffusing treason against her Catholic Majesty's authority. The administration has done its duty; but the island of Cuba will have to come in, either by re- volution and annexation, or by treaty with Spain, or by war with Spain and Great Britain, or through allof these agencies, in their order of succession. But as John Q. Adams said of 54 49—the (ime has come for some action upon the sabject. Our Philadelphia Correspondence. Puuapecrma, August 28, 1819. Political Movements in Plaladelphia—Stocks, §c° ‘There is great excitement at the County Court House, where the democratic conference is in ses- sion, endeavoring to agree upon a candidate for sheriff. The crowd eutside is constantly on the increase in numbers, greatly to the gratification of the surrounding tavern keepers, who are reaping the benefit of the anxiety, which is sure to create thiret. A military gentieman of Spring Garden, who is one of the conterees trom that district, was this morning guilty of an attempt to bribe another member, with $10, to vote for his favorite candi- date. The delegate upoa whom the attempt was made very properly made it known to the conter- ence, and an excited discussion ensued on the pro- priety of expelling the offending member. Atter some time, the balloting was resumed, but there seems no prospect of a choice being arrived at. On the 16th ballot, the vote stood, far Belsteriing, 51; Deal, 49; Peters, 37; Benner, 29; Thompson, 18; Torbert, 1. President ad interim.
