Wiron oF Chambers strect—Suaious Fa. ntiment of Humanity, One of the most marked peculiarities of the popu- ar sentiment of our times, 1s the sympathy every- where felt among the great masses of mankind for suffering, among individuals and among nations. This sentiment has recently been developed i# our eommunity, in the most noble and aflecting man. | ner, by the recent calamitygwhich filled so many houses with mourning, and overspread the entire | community with gloom. When a thousand, or fifty thousand men, fall in battle, and he butchered and mangled and trampled into the plain, over which the chariot wheels of victorious or flying generals have memtary sensation; but there 18 nothing that shocks the sensibilities of men so painfully, as the | announcement that seventy earnest, honest, hard werking men, women, and children, who had but | anhour before left their families and firesides, | afier the morning meal, with a careless good-bye, and, perhaps, a hurried kiss to the wife, the daughter, or the babe, as they went to resume their hard but noble toils, should be suddenly lifted from the earth and then crushed beneath it. The journal of their sufferings from hour to and from morning tll 5 nd from r till morning, not only wr: , h mexpressible ang: turned its eye towards scene ¢ fatal 1 nd es soon as the excitement of sus- use Was over, and the number of the dying and e dead was ascertained, by an imstinct, which honor to humanity, a universal disposition became manifest to come to the rescue, to relieve the sufferers, to bury the dead, and to pour conso- lation into thghearts of the weeping. The good work of helping the distressed, which has grown into one of the most universal sentiments of our tumes, has been going on, and from every quarter the most encouraging information comes to us, that all classes; and professions, and societies, and denominations of men, wherever they assemble, are acting m concert, to show how much human suffernng affects the heart of the present age. And there is something more touching in this, because it is labonng men who have died, and the families ef laboring men who have endured the loss. It is asilent but eloquent token of respect to man, because he 1s man, and to the laboring man, be- cause itis honorable to make the muscles grow hard by toil, and because it is an indication that, in this country above all others, labor is respected. In fact, st only shows the fruit of liberty. One of the legitimate consequences of democracy, is to make man respected because he participates ina common nature with the noblest, the greatest, the most powerful ; and, however humble may be the sphere in which he labors, the great sentiment of Burns 1s developed and recognised, that * a man’s aman fora’ that.” It is one of the most inspiring s'gns of our times, and of our country, that we do not confine our sym pathies merely to the great and the illustrious who fall, midst, and who are snatched from before our own eyes, by the ruthless hand of an unforeseen and an unprecedented calamity. There was Gre a quarter of a century ago, that called out the syn pathies of every man in this country. When the art beautiful form of liberty once more lifted itself from the smouldering ruins of the nation ef Peri- cles, and in the streets of Athens, which once rang to the shouts of freedom, the song of victory and of hberty was again heard, not a heart in this na- tion but vibrated to the sound; and from all parts of the country demonstrations of sympathy and ot Tespect were made. So, too, has it been for along period with Ireland. In the midst of the woes, the oppression and famine through which that green islond has been struggling eo ineffeetually qher ear, turned towards the western sun, has been greeted by ten thousand shouts of encouragement, and ex- pressions of fraternal sympathy. So, too, was it when an earthquake throne, and left Louis Phil an ¢ home of his fathers. The image proclarming from the steps of the the new republic of Fran and the children of We shout of we from the of Lamarune, Hotel de Ville ngton sent back their ne to the new-born republic. So, too, was it with Rome, when the shores of the | Tiber once emencipated peo once resounded to the accents of his great contemporaries, became familiar to the same song of freedom again ; and over the Appiaa Way, where the couriers of the Roman republic mote echoed back the song of , Brutus and once flew to proclaim laws and civilization to all nations, the couriers of a republic went fying egain to tell the world that there was no longera monarch in Rome, and that the city of Romulus had been emancipated. So was it, too, when the tocsin of freedom rang out from Comorn, aad Kossuth, at the head of his heroic countrymen, was on his victorious march towards Vieuna. Greece, indeed, did become free; and although | England eurerd her with a king, yet the spirit of liberty lived am the heart of the Greek people, and they have been slowly but eecurely marching on to freedom. But treland ell lies weltenng wher own blood, and her cry etill makes the heart of the world sad. We have all read the history of the slaughter of liberty in Rome, by Freaeh soldiers, and our sympathies have not only been displayed towards the remnant of a subjugated people, who have fled to our shores for hospitality, but over the Avantic, and up the Mediterranean, aad to the bounds of the Moslem empire; over the walla of Shorla, Koeewth has} beard the shout of sym pathy from the land of Washington. Man is be- coming, hour by hour, more saered. Hum has entered the arena, and in her great etry there is every reason to believe that rictory will at last declare itself in favor of mankind. Tar Gneat Fine ix New “On zane.—We pub- piehed, by telegraph, yesterday morning, a brief account of a fire at New Orleans, on Saturday morning, by which a part of the principal business portion of the city was destroyed. The lose wases timated at half a million of dollare. The conflagras ison occurred in Camp street, which bears the game relation to that city as Wall street does to New York, and we have received the fact that one banking house (Robb’s) and one newspaper esta- bliehment (the Picayune) were destroyed.

Henry Clay, of Kentucky, gave expression to a sentiment which ought to be printed in letters of gold, and hung up in every le- gislauve hall in the United States, and in every publie place and school house throughout the coua- try. It was a sentiment worthy of that exalted and high-minded patriot. In that debate it was imputed to him that he owed his allegiance to the South, and, no sooner were the words uttered, than the Kentucky statesman rose in his seat, and disclaimed any allegiance to the South; that his allegiance was limited to his own State, and the Union at large. It was equivalent to the boast of an old Roman, that he wasa Roman citizen. It was in fact saying that he was an American citi- zen, and nothing else. It would be well for the peace and happiness of the country, and for the harmony and perpetuity of our institutions, if this noble, manly and patnioti¢ sentiment which Mr. Clay delivered, was more ge- nerally entertained than it is. If it were, we should never have been reduced to the deplorable condi- tion in which the country 13 placed by factionists and demagogues of all parties, whose only rule of action and principle is selfishness. There are a parcel of fanatics, in Congress and out of it, who, to subserve their own ends, have set up an alle- giance to their respective geographical sections, and maintain it, irrespective of their allegiance to the Union and to the nation at large. By the efforts of these men the country has been kept ina state of constant agitation and excitement fof a num- ber of years past. The latest form which this unfortunate sectional feeling assumed, is an em- | bodiment of the fanatical teeling of the North on the subject of the slavery question—growing out of the acquisition of the territories of New | Mexico and California. No sooner was this ad- dition made to the territory of the United States, than disappointed politicians made use of it to wreak ther vengeance on those who they sup- posed had injured them; and from that time to the prevent, it has gone on, increasing in volume and foree, until it now endangers the Union, and | jeopardizes the inestimable privileges and blessings which we enjoy. Where this unfortunate and much to be re- gretted state of things will end, it 1s difficult to say; but that there is a probability of its resulting in bloodshed, and perhaps disunion itself, no one can deny, unlegs patriots entertaining such sentiments as that which was recently expressed by Mr. Clay, make their influence felt et Washington. There are many hike him, who entertain no alle- giance to any particular section of the country— Let those men, therefore, show their hands. Wherever they are, let them direct and shape the honest impulses of the community, by call ing public meetings, at which suitable reso- lutions should be passed. The fanatics in the North are not idle. They are at this instant straining every nerve, and adopting every means within their power, to perpetuate the present state of things at Washington, and fo prevent any amicable settlement or compromise of the slavery question. They are now engaged in circu- lating petitions in the Northern and New England States, for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, and for the prohibition of that insti- tution in any of the new territories. Let those fanatics be met by the great Union sentiment which pervades the whole American people, in every sec- tion of the country, and they will soon be put down, and the perpetuity of the Union secured. ‘Tux Union Merino at Tammany Hatu.—The union meeting at Tammany Hall, on Saturday evening last, would, no doubt, have been the largest and most enthusiastic that ever was held | within the walls of that building, but for the with. drawal of a portion of the party interested in the | movement. We doubt the propriety of calling party meotunge onthe subject of the Union of this confederacy. All parties throughout the country, in every sec- ton, and of every name, are in favor of the Union and the constitution, if we except the miserable tail-end of a faction in New England, of which Lloyd Garrison, Fred. Douglas, and such like, are the shining and sooty representatives. If we threw overboard the Martin Van Burens and the William H. Sewards of the two great parties into would find that both of them, we mean the honest masses, are devoted to the Union, and are ready and willing at all times to denounce those who would assail it. Why not, therefore, call a mass meeting on neuiral ground, in the Park, for instance, of | citizens generally, without distinction of party, for this purpose We are perfectly satisfied | that the respectable men of both parties would gladly unite en the broad platform of the Union, | and agree on a series of resolutions that would | exercise a happy influence in Washington and every other place.

During the past week the stock market has been more buoyant than we have seen it for several weeks previous, and an advance has been realized by holders of some of the fancies, of two and three per cent There have been large purchases of nearly every stock in the list, on time, principally buyer’sjoption, and the opinion is pretty generally entertained that very fow of the purchasers will be able to take the stook when the time for delivery arrives. Sellers on time, seller's option, bave made contracts tos large amount, and have made the best of a wide margin against them, compared with quotations for cash. Most of the cash purcharers have been shorts, while the speculators for a rise have purchased principally on time, buyer's option. Operations of this kind upon an easy meney market, show that the bulls are weak, and have/aot the means to buy cash stock. This is doubtless true. Most of them are up to their eyes in fancy stoeks, and bave been obliged, by hypothecation, and in every other | way, to raise money, for the purpose of keeping them, if possible, in hopes that a demand would spring up, and an improvement in prices take place, The result of the recent advance in several of the leading fancies is easy to foresee, Most of them will get into a few hands at bigh prices, when the holders will make the Giscovery that they have no market, and will be compelled to let prices down, to induce speculators to come in as purchasers. Several fancies have been completely used upin this way, and we need go no | further than Long Island and Norwich and Worsester etcoks for instances to illustrate the correctness of this remark. Fancy stocks for speculative purposes are different from any thing else, and the danger of a | clique of heavy purchasers getting the balk of any one | {m their hands, without am active outside demand con- tinuing, is so great that it is only attempted when | everything else fails to inflate prices, Harlem Rall- road scoek is in this position. The bulk of the entire issue of old shares is held by small clique of speculators, and they are compelled to purchase most of what is daily offered to sustain prices, if possible, or, ‘at all events, to prevent a serious decline, Whena | fancy is well distributed, it is easier to get u pecu- lative movement and inflate prices ; but as prices ad- vance, the stock becomes concentrated, until it finally gets into a few hands, and breaks down from its own | weight. Long Island is too much concentrated fora epeculative movement, and the holders of this and Harlem are more anxious to sell what they have than | to buy more; but they are forced to purchase, or suffer | prices to fall with large lots in hand. It is high wacer in Wall street, and the tide must toon turn. Those who keep with the tide will glide on smooth enough; but those who attempt to stem it, will soon find themselves struggling beneath the sur- face, Those who stand on shore, watching the move- mente of those in the stream of speculation, will, after all be in the safest piace; but they must be careful, leat in aiding @ victim to escape being swallowed up, they are drawn in and drawn down with him. Bull steck speou- lators are perfect jack o'lanterns; they draw outsiders 4 then leave them to get out the best way they can. The best way is to avoid these bright er moving lights, and make no attempt to follow them, statement exhibits the quotations in | on market for the principal speculative stooks, for nd at the close of the week | previous, Prices have, during the week just closed, improved, bat the market bas been very unsettle: we sbould not be surprieed at any time to see It give way:— on ATIONS FOR THE PaiworraL Stecks ix Tae New Youk Manse.
