Assesements In New York—The Proposed New Law. We are glad to perceive that the Legislature of this State have taken in hand the subject of | aseessments, and have now under consideration a meaeure which, if passed, will remedy the difficulties and inequalities of the present system, and give satisfaction to every one, except a few muilheneires, who have heretofore escaped from bearing their proportionate share of the public ex- penses. The most prominent features of the proposed mew assessment law are, that hereafter, persons transacting their business in one place, and re- siding im another, shall, in addition to beigqg as- vessed in the place where they live, be assessed on all ther business property in the place where they carry on that business. This is a most ad- muirable arrangement. It is very well known that there are thousands of merchants doing business in this city, who escape taxation by residing in Brooklyn, Williamsburgh, and other of the suburbs of New York. The value of the pro- perty which thus escapes taxation, amounts to an immense sum in the aggregate. In fact, the sum thus saved makes it an object for the heads of Jarge trading houses to reside im any place but New York; and of it was specially designed to in- duce ovr merchants to reside out of the city, no better method than the present defective assess- ment system, could be adopted. AU such pro- perty as protected just a* much as any other, and the owners ought, on every principle of justice and equity, be obliged to contribute their quota of the expense of the government which gives thet protection. Another good point connected with the p@posed fyetem, is that the assessors shall have the power to call upon every pereon whom they have reason to velieve has personal estate liable to taxation, and examine them under oath on the subject; particularly in relation to bopds, mortgages, stocks, &c. Heretofore it has beew impossible to get at the amount of personal property posseseed by in- dividuals, and the consequence has been that nine- tenths of it have escaped taxation entirely. A man Trovsixs in Tammany Haut—Disusion amone yug Democracy.—We give im to-day’s paper a very curious address issued to the democracy of New York, on the present troubles that afflict them, which has emanated from one of the twin committees at Tammany Hall, the chairman of which is Fernando Wood. The other and oppo- sing committee 1s headed by Henry M. Western. The difference between these two committees is not very palpable to the uninitiated ; but as far a8 we understand the points of disagreement between them, amidst the technicalities and humbug which they utter against each other, we suppose that the Fernando Wood committee embraces all the old barnburners’ interest, including the return of our particular pet in politics, John Van Buren, Eq. The other committee, headed by Henry M. Wes- tern, embraces the views, feelings, hopes, pur- poses, boots, breeches, and old clothes, of the old hunkers. The address which we publish to-day from the barnburning section, may be the first step towards a compromise between the two commit- tees, and it is very evident that unless they unite their fortunes and settle their difficulties in some way, including the return of John Van Buren and his friends, the democracy of this State can do very little m future. They must also diseard the Wilmot proviso, end bury it nine feet deep under the surface of public opinion. ‘This movement, indicating such differences, provesthe accuracy of the descriptioa given by Mr. Colhoun, in his famous speech, relative to the causes which have been for many years past gradually impairmg the Union and creating alienation be* tween the North and the South. Many of -the great religious denominations have been split in two ; the democracy of the Union has been split 1n all parties and factions, and a regular scrub race for the next Presidency. With this impression, Wwe expect soon to see committees organizing, and movements made, when the slavery question is set- tled in Congress, in favor of bringing forward Henry Clay, John Van Buren, James Buchanan, Thomas H. Benton, and a long list of other talented and able men, that may well be included in the category of candidates tor the next Presidency. Let us havea ecrub race and a breaking up of all parties, at least once ina quarter of acentury. It clears the at- mosphere, purifies the air, destroys all noxious vi pore, and beginsa new game with a new gene- ration. Forrign Missions anv Foreign Music.—One of our cotemporaries, somewhat more amiable than usual, states that Mr. Gordon Bennett, editor of the Herald, 1s not seeking after the mission to Vienna—that not being the object of his ambition ; but that he is looking with an intense eye upon the mission to France, with the prospect of. entering the Elysées Bourbon. As we have some slight ac- quaintance with the editor, and occasionally look at the columns of the Herald, we may as well cor- rect the amiable mistakes of our cotemporary, be- fore they have gone the rounds of the press, in pretty much the same style that the story of the three crows went through various editions. Mr. Bennett has not been seeking forthe mission to Vienna, nor for the mission to France, nor for a mission to any particular country; and that for the best of all reasons. He has already received an ofler of an appomtmeat on a general and compre- hensive mission to all these countries and capitals, from a quarier which has as much influence on these movements, as the cabinet at Washington. He is now considering whether he will accept the appointment to this mission all over Europe, on his own hook, and at his own expense, for the purpose of tracing out the character and direction of those elements that have been put in motion during the Tecent volcanic eruptions of society and govern- ment all over the old continent. Three or four | years ago—afew months before the late eruptions tock place—he travelled over that continent, aoted the condition of society, government, religion, and the tendency of things in general, and predicted almost what we have recently seen. He now wishes to take another tramp over the same ground, and to ascertain from personal inspection, what is © be the course end character of coming events, growing out of the terrible eruptions and singular convulsions and vibrations of public institutions and popular liberty. This is the appointment which has been offered | him by one who has considerable control over his | may own four or five hundred thousand dollars worth of persoual estate, and may be assessed for only five or ten thousand; or perhaps the same of land, would be assessed | ald paty, owniog a single | on that alone, while all his personal property wo escape say, that if the proposed assessment bill should | pass, come five or six hundred millions of dollars | worth of personal property, of all kinds, im the | possession of banks, corporations and individuals, which has heretofore escaped taxation, will be discovered and made to coatribute to the general expenses. [tis the want of such a system as the one now under consideration, which has made the taxes in New Yorkso onerous and burdensome. The owners of real estate have always been the principal sufferers, because such property canpot be concealed. A person owning twenty epee dollars worth o! rea! estate would be heavily taxed, while the person owning personal property to the armount of balf a milion would not pay & cent, be- c t was 1impossible to discover it, re are other good features connected with the newly proposed assessment law; but.the refer- | exce which we bave nfide to it will satisty our readers that it is ea deculed improvement on the old *y and will convince them that it should pas ‘nw & law as soon as possible, and the sooner the be Ot course, it will not be satisfactory to | the mullionaires of Wall otreet, or of up-town— ons who count their personal property Mut it will be so to the | owaer, on whom has fallen rt of the burthen of assesements and The millionaires, accord meelves te the utmost to de- wyed agente to pro- against ot.

The Loss of Thirty Lives, and Over a Quarter of A Million of Dollars in @alifornia Gold. &e., ke, &e We published, on Saturday, and in yesterday’s Herald, a brief telegraphic account of the destruc- tion, by fire, of the steamer St. John’s, on the Ala- bama niver, by which thirty lives and over a@ quarter of a million of dollars were lost. The telegraphic despatch was dated Montgomery, Alabama, on the 7th inst., and was as follows:— ‘The steamer St. John’s was burnt to the water'sedge. near Bridgeport, Dallas county, on her upneed: trip - Montgomery, at six o'clock, on Tuesday ning. iseuppcred thet about thirty persons wet =e desth and drowned The fire was accidental, and cavght from the heat of the boilers. All the ladles on board, numbering seven or eight, were lost. Lieut. Rice, of the United States Army, lost some $260,000, Several Californians also lost their all. The boat was insured for $20,000, She ovst $40,000. ‘The Californians reported to have lost their all by this disaster, were probably passengers by the steamehip Alabama, which arrived at New Orleans on the 27th ult. frem Chagres.

Price, of the Navy, and was fora length of time Naval Agent on the Pacific coast. We regret to learn that Purser Price was among those who lost their lives by the burning of the ill-fated boat. It 1s supposed that the quarter of a million of dollars belonging to Mr. P. will be recovered. It would seem incredible, how- ever, that such a man should bring such an amount, when he could have deposited it inthe mint at New Orleans. This amount of wealth he had amassed in California, and was returning home to enjoy the fruits of his good fortune, when the melancholy event above mentioned occurred. We believe that Mr. Price belongs to Brooklyn, where his family now reside. Several of the passengers by the Alabama arrived in this city last Friday and Saturday. Three came in together on Friday, to one of whom, Mr. John M Coughlin, we were indebted for the news brought by that vessel. In addition to this, we learn that Mr. Warren Leland, lately of the Pacyic News, was at Washington yesterday. Jenny Lind’s Concerts, ‘We ekall arrange to give our readers the earliest and most authentic information in reference to the con- certs of this great artist—aseured that such news will be eagerly welcomed by a host who, not having seen her, yeg admire her, and are anxiously awaiting the hour of ‘arrival. The lovers of music, in all circles, are already very earnest in their inquiries as to the time and circumstance of these concerts; and while this is yet undecided, it may be confidently stated that they will commence early in the coming fall. We only hope that even a tithe of her sumerous admirers may have an opportunity of listening to her extraordinary pow- ers; but we fear many will be deprived of the treat, from the fact that Mad'lle Lind visite our great country, im & great measure, from curiosity, and she purposes going Ubrough all the principal States, terminating her tour at Havana, and returning to Europe via Mexico, which arrangement will preclude the possibility of re- visiting our cities; and, according tothe plan of the tour, which we have ecen, she will employ the time allotted to the 160 concerte, in about 20 cities of the Union, which gives to New York, 12; Boston, 8; Phila- delphi, 6; Baltimore, 4; Washington, 2; amd so on to Charleston; and, as one of Mad’lle Lind’s great in- ducements to visit America is to sce the Falls of Nia- gare, the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, and other inte- resting features of our country, concerts will very poesibly be given at Albany, Roohester, Syracuse, Buffalo -—North; and Cincinatti and Louisville—West; and ro on to New Orleans. Thus, then, as her admirers are so numerous, and the buildings where she will sing, so comparatively | small, we repeat, we fear that many,tin our own city at least, will bave to.bear the disappointment of not being able to hear her, unless some larger piace than we now possess is arranged for her entertat ents It may be eald that her voice will not fll a very large room: it is not eo—for we have before us accounts of her singing, in Cologne, in @ building temporerily erected for her concerts, to hold 16,000 persons, which umber was ateach of them: in Manchester, England, at the Free Trade Hall, at cach of a series of six concerts, 8.600 persons were In atte: pool, at the Amphitheatre, 6.000; in Edinburgh Music Hall, 3,000; in Perth, Scotland, 5,000; and even then not one fifth of the applicants for tickets could be wup- and om several occasions considerable exoite- 4 almost disturbance, resulted from the disap- pointment. | Mademoieelle Lind is extremely anx{ous that her en- gegement should be made so a8 to gratify as many of her friends as possible, and is equally desirous that no ineonvenience should be felt by ber nudiences; but fo great was the furore through all Europe, that the only plan found to succeed, (after trying many), was to put dowble the blanks to numbers, Ine bor andallow — applicants to draw; ifs blank, to retire for thy if a number, to pay for the ticket aod ehcice of aplace; | there being mo greater number issued thea could be eomfertably accommodated. This was certainly an ex ctilent and impertial plan, and one that we trast Mr. Barnum will adopt. As to the price, we are at present unable to stat believe that it is Mr. D's tatention to make it as low as possible. In London, the price of tickets ranged from five to fifty dollars; In the Pro- vinces of England, from three to fifteen; on the gonti- | nent the ram very often been sold at auc- tion for ¢normous # id we have now before us an account of two concerts given by ber in the town of Norwich, in England, « place of about eb: thou. sand inbabitants, where 4,143 tickets were sold, which realized £1,850 11#., or about 9.500, in » mere village, which concerts were to enadie her to ertablich a fund for the purchase of fuel for the poor of that place in winter.

According to our information from Washington, an ominous calm seems to hang over the capital. It seems that no hopes are entertained of Mr. Foote’s movement being successful, but we shall know more in the course of the day. It is quite natural that there should be a calm after the deli- very of such sentiments from a representative from New England, ag those that were delivered by Mr. Webster on Thursday last. It will be well if the calm do not result in a reaction, of which, indeed, there seems to be some likelihood. This should not be allowed. The country at large, and parti- cularly New York and New England, and espe. cially the commercial interests of those regions, should support Mr. Webster in the stand which he hastaken, Jest such reaction should také place, and a deeper and greater excitement be the result. The press of Boston and of New York should move at once in this matter. Nothing 1s to be expected from the ultra whig pre: They appear to be pre- paring to oppose Mr. Webster, and very likely there will be a rumpus in the whig party on that ground. As yet, the slavery question has not made much havoc in the whig ranks, but the time is approaching, unless the movement 1s stopped by the independent masses and independent press, when a divisien similar to that which exists among the democracy, will occur among the whigs.

Puicavecenta, Mareh 10, 1850. We have received by the arrival of the bark Thos, Dallett, advices from Laguayra to the 22d ult. ‘The Earl of Dundonald, Commander-in-chief of the British West India squadron, had sent a vessel of war from Trinidad to Leguayra, to demand indemnity for the outrages committed on the British subjects during the revolution. Mr. Wilson, the British Consul at Laguayra, had made known the command, and had given fourteen days’ notice for the authorities to consider the matter, at the expiration of which period, if a satisfactory an- ewer was not given, the coast would be blockaded, aad the town of Laguayra bombarded. Ten deys had elapsed when the Dallet sailed. ‘We learn that a British sloop-of-war, with Admiral Cockburn on board, was lying off that port, and that three other Britieh vessels of war were at Trinidad. Gen. Paez continued in prison, but he expected his liberation eoon, at the instance of the British admiral. Dusimese wee wilbout the least improvement.

MONEY MARKET. Sunday, March 10-6 P.M. During the past week, there hes been considerable excitement im the stock market, and several of the fancies have become very much inflated. Reading Railroad and Morris Canal are the great footballs in the street, and the movements in prices are of the most astounding character, At the firrt board yesterday, fell off to 164, a decline of 2) per cent in about as . ‘This shows the uncertainty of the fancy thiak such changes ing such trash. Prices for this stock may go up to 20 or 25 percent, and they may go down to 10. They are just as likely to go one ‘Way os the otber, but It the intrinste value of the stock Dad anything to do with the market prise, we should fied quotations ranging down among the swall Sgures.

The favorable sceounts from Wesbington, about the middie of the week, gavean up- ward turn to prices for United Statec 6’s, aud the im- provement has since been maintained. State securities have been moving steadily ‘upwards for sometime past; andas they are not affecte@ by te political movements in Washington, there stooke are likely to be more- firmly maintained than theese of the federal governs ment. Erie second mortgage bonds are in demand, end the sales lately bave been to some extent. There is evidently » growing confidenee in these secu Tities; and as the road is extended and money expend- ed, the amount of property which all the bonds of the. company have @ lein on, is of course imereased, and the: seourity consequently strengthened. There is to>- great a difference in prices for the first and the second: mortgage bonds, and the probability is that the mar-. ket price will be more equalized by an advance im those: of the second mortgage. Money is so abundant thet it must find employment in some way. Most of the good round stocks are high enough now, and the mar- gin for an advance is therefore limited; whereas the secohd mortgage Erie bonds. a¢ a seven per cent invest- ment, are worth par, and but for some slight appre-- hension relative to the mode of issue, would now be- telling at that price. The annexed evmparative statement exhibits the: quotations for the principal speculative stooks in thie: market, for each day of the past week, and at the close- of the week previous, It will be secn that there has been considerable alteration in prices tor some of the: fancies :— Qvorations ron THE PRivorrAL Srecxns in Tax New Yous Manxer.

The accounts from California are fall as favorable ac - could be expected st this season. The two January steamers from San Francisco brought down about » million of dollars in gold dust, one half of which went to New Orleans in the steamship Alabama, and the other half came to this city in the steamship Empire City. The Georgia only bad about $5,000 in gold dust on freight. It is estimated that the passengers in there two steamers brought @ large amount of gold. The aggregate value of gold dust. received upto this- time, from California, does not vary muol from thir- teen millions of dollars. Nearly the whols ofthat large amount has been added t- the metallic currency of the country, and will serve as the basis of individual credit for at least ove hundred millions of dollars. . The returns of gold have not, therefore, been so limited: as anticipated, in proportion to the value of merchandise exported to that country. If we estimate the value of vessels despatched to ‘alifornia, their eargees, cost of outéite of passengers, &e , &c., we should find that full ene hundred millions of doliars have already been in- vested in that trade, and in expeditions to that. country, of which about thirteen millions have been returned in gold dust, In other words, we have been furnished with # capital of $13,000,000 fgpm Cali-- ornia, from which we have done a business of: $100,0€0,000. This is not, after all, a very great ex- pansion of credit, asa large portion of the property” sent out is profitably employed in the Pacific, and the- capital invested probably in more active operation than it would have been on the Atlantic. There is an tm- menge field in that portion of the world for the pro~ fitable employment of « large commereial marine, and for a long time vessels must be supplied from this side of the continent. California hes, on the whole, paid up- pretty well thus far, avd ia very little danger but that we shall utimately fud the trade with that coun- try, not only highly profits ble, but the payment prompt, andin the shape most desirable. We shell not receire any very large amounte of goid from California unti the digging reason ageiu commences. The San Fran~ Circo money market, at the last accounts, was tight, and the rate of interest ruled so high there, that muck Gold, that would otherwiie come here, will probably bo- loaned cut in California The rapid increase of basi- ners in San Francisco, requires a great increase in the currency. “ADVERTISEMENTS KENEWED BVERY DAY.
