The Free School and Li Ensurance laws wi'l be found interesting. Welegraphic Summary—Excitement In Al- bany—Withdrawal of Senators, &c. We learn from Albany that intense excitement prevailed in the Sen amber yesterday, in refe- rence to the Canal Enlargement bill, and that when tthe vote came to be taken it was found that all but two of the democratic Senators had withdrawa | from the chamber. During the evening session of that body on Tuesday, all amendments were voted d@own and the bill was ordered to a third reading Yesterday morning it was among the first business tm order, and the debate which ensued upon it was of a very violent character. We do not won- der at the cou-se pursued by the opponents of the measure, for, notwithstanding all the law- yers’ opinior that Lave been given upon the subject, it is a virtual violation of the coustitation Its friends may talk, and counsel way argue aad Pronounce opinions, as much as they please, but if it is legal and in prdance with the constitution, that instrument, like a great many others, is alaw through which « coach-and-four could be driven. ‘The friends of the measure hal appeared deter- mined, from the first, to force it through ; fequently, the only resou left for its opy was towithdraw.

That verscl carried out Mr. Walsh, the spe- cial agent of this government, who was empowered to unite with the other foreign agents inthat island, | for the purpose of settling the mattere at variance | between the Haytiens and the Dominieans. Active preparations haye been recently made at the naval depots of this city and Norfolk, ostensibly for send- | ing out vessels to. the coast of Afrien; but there are | some shrewd suspicions in certain quarters, that the vessels which have been dispatebed may first meet the West india fleet somewhere near the shores of | “t. Domingo, for the purpose of obtaining redress, | instant and immediate, from the Emperor of the | black republic; while the adventurers from the Southern “tates may effect a landing on Dominica, and unite with those forees to assault the black | republic in the flank. It is very true that our | government at Washington can’t declare war, or | | commence any belligerent operations against any | recognized government, without first procuring | permission by an act of Congress; but this neces { sity does not exist towards a country unrecognized, | and existing in the light of a nest of pirates, or a | piratical government. In fact, St. Domingo never having been recognized by the United States, is of | no more importance than a nest of pirates would be on any of the keys or islands of the West India seas. What, therefore, could legally prevent a concen- | tration of the vessels recently fitted out at Norfolk | and New York, ostensibly for the coast of Africa, | | from uniting with the Saranac, the Albany, | and the other American vessels in those seas, numbering probably six or seven?—what could pre- | | Yent a junction of these vessels on the coast of | Hayti, and compelling, at the cannon’s mouth, the | black scoundrel, who calls himself emperor, to give | redress, at all hazards, and at every venture, for | the wrongs aud insults he has inflicted on our ci- tizens? Should he refuse, the American fleet, under the laws of nations, and without any act of Con- | | grees, would be perfectly justified in demolishing that imperial régime, as they would a band of pirates or lawless adventurers. In the meantime, the expeditions of which we | | have accounts from the Southern States, and pur- | porting to be intended for Cuba, are much more likely to be intended to land on the Dominican part | of the Island of Hayti, to assist the Dominicans, { | and to commence what may be considered a com- | plete reconquest of the blacks of St. Domingo, and an entire revolution in their social and political coudition. Let us wait and see the result of these rumors and half developed movements, of various kinds.

Hoaxert ‘reatier had better etiek to the Tribuy alow Tue Bairisn Minisren EN Route To Sovrn Caroiina.—The latest from Virginia states that Sir Henry Bulwer and his lady had reached the capital of that State, ‘on their way to | South Carolina. What carries Sir Henry Bulwer, the. very busy diplomatist, to South Carolina, at this season of the year, instead of coming North? Has he any purpose of opening @ negotiation with the South Carolina politicians, looking to a probable disconnection between that State and the rest of the | Union, and of opening an important communication between the new nation of South Carolina and th» old British government of Europe ? We can only judge of Sir Henry Bulwer’s motives | by inferences drawn from his previous character, his peculiar talents, his remarkable busy propensities, and his movements here, and there, and every where. Sir Henry Bulwer is no doubt one of the most talented diplomatists in the service of the British government. He is probably more efficient, more active, and more enterprising, than even the head of his department, Lord Palmerston himself. He commenced his career in France, as a member of the British embassy in Paris. origin, rise and progress of socialism inthat country» prognosticating, as he did, at the same time, the recent revolutionary changes which took place there. Sir Henry Bulwer isa very clear-headed, philo- He , sophical diplomatist, and a remarkable man. went to Spain, after leaving Paris, and came near embroiling France, Spain, and England, in difficul- ties, that precipitated and hurried on the French revolution. ton, and, since his advent in this country, he has oc- cupied the position more of a minister pleni- potentiary for the whole continent of North South America, than for the island of | Great Britain, ut Washington alone. At this mo- ment, with the assistance of his colleague, Mr. Chatfield, in Central America, he has got all the | repyblies of that region at loggerheads, and into He manages the af- | internal and external feuds. fairs of Mexico, through the British embassy, in- | cluding also some financial English houses, so as to keep the poor Mexicans in hot water ail the time, while there are not less than twenty millions of dol | lars in specie exported every year from Mexico to England in payment of British goods, the British | having almost a monopoly of the foreign trade of that country. Nothing is too great or too small to escape the | notice of Sir Henry Bulwer. He looks on the movements of a little newspaper as muchas he does on the affairs of a great continent, to ascertain how either one or the other can affect the intereste of the mighty British empire, while he may be amusing the world by making splendid democratic speeches at the Astor or the Irving House, in New York, and hum bugging our cabinet with fine senti- ments xbout Anglo-Saxonism and the other isms ofthe day. Sir Henry Bulwer gocs to South Caro- lina for some seeret and special purpose. During the last war with England, in 1812, it is very well known that the British government sent an agent | to the New England States, for the purpose of as- certaining the probability of England’s making a separate treaty with the discontented Yankees of that day. Does Sir Henry Bulwer visit South Caro- lina—the chivalrous men of that region—for the pur- pose of ascertaining whether anything in the same | line can be done with South Carolina? A separation of the Southern States from the Northern might be made very beneficial to British commerce and British interests; for the first thing that a new Southern republic would do, under the influence of South Carolina feelings, would be to exclude North- ern vessels from their ports, and allow their export | trade to be monopolized by British ships. Sir Henry Bulwer, therefore, may have a project in his mind of very great importance, both to Eng- land and to this country. British influenee in Cen- tral America has divided, separated, and distracted the once united republics there; British inflaence in Mexico has taken from that republic specie to the smount of twenty millions a year, while at the same time it has kept that country in a state of confu- | sion, disorder, and dependence for years back. Bri- tirh influence, now organized in this country under the extraordinary talents of Sir Henry Bulwer, may, at some time, play the same game between | the Northern and the Southern States of this re- public, and help and aid in separating them, sothat | Great Britain might enjoy a monopoly of the South- ern trade. At all events, Henry Bulwer ought to be watched with great eir- | cumepection, by all fe ed of the Union in the | Northern and Sout! States. We do not attri- | bute any improper Purpgge to Sir Henry Bulwer. He may only want to ta the world. He is the greatest man in his way, thongh the smallest in stature, that hie government ever sent to ‘Washington. Keep an eye upon him.

To these evidences of feveri#h anxiety will supervene a desire, in combination with all the British power that can be weed, to throw cold water on the whole affair. However, the fire of the Mexican capitalists will only be increased by such opposition. The British «toamers, too, which have been ordered, on leaving Vera Crus, not totouch the ports of Mobile | and Havana, will find that they cannot monopolise the «pecie-carrying trade for the use of Great Britain only.

Many of them are already chow- ing the bitter cud of disappointmont and remorse, and others will soon follow their example. The argumentum ad pecwniam, as the learned logicians call it, but, in plain English, the appeal to the breeches pocket, works wonders in the stultifiod | minds even of abolitionists. ‘Ihe influence of the almighty dollar is great, and will prevail. Some curious developements have recently shown them- | selves in the cities of the East, which are well calcu- lated to alarm the inhabitants. | One of the results of the abolition agitation in Boston hasbeen to drive sevoral merchants con. nected with the Southern trade out of business, and even out of the city. The anti-slavery feelizg has been exhibited so perseveringly and in such a ran- corous aspeet there, amd so little regard has been paid tothe rights of the South, and the solemn and sacred obligations of the constitution of the United States, that many Southern men have withdrawn their custom from Boston houses, and transferred it to New York. Firms have been broken up, and the parties have come to this city. There is at this moment at the Astor House a merchant from Hos ton, who has been forced from his home from th m30 we have just stated, and has come here with a view of establishing his business in our Union city, where it cannot be affected by the insane fauna n of “the City of Notions.” It is well known t in the business localities of Bo: real estate has been depreciated twenty-five per cent within the | laet year.

But when the depression in trade and commerce re-acts upon other clases; in the commu- nity—as re-nct it most certainly will if aimless agitation is continued—they, too, will be as ready to inquire, with , ¢ tinuance of this agitation? We believe that our mercantile community deeply imbued with the spirit of humanity as any ot class of our citizens. They believe that the present ani future good of the bondman would be consulted, should the slavery question no longer be brought into tl of partisan polities, They belleve that the cause of eman- cipation will be better subserved by a continuance of the Union than by a dissolution, which wil! inevitably follow a sectional division.

Hitherto the South has sent 300,000 bales of cotton annually to Boston, What if it stopped the supply? The planters and merchants of the Southern States have it in their power to crush the commerce of Boston, and make the grass grow upon its streets. The Southerners, as yet, have only proceeded to the length of withdrawing their trade, to a considerable amount, from it. The day may not be far distant when it shall be totally | decline and fall of the commerce of Boston.” Should another attempt be made to retain a fugitive slave in that city, we shall probably hear of summary re- prisals in the South by the seizure of every vesse from Boston in any port south of Mason and Dixon’s line. | isin danger of ruin. The manufacturing towns of Lowell, Lynn, New Bedford, and the other infected | places of Massachusetts, are on the brink of de- struction. We have heard of certain gentlemen from these places who are about to abandon them, | and intend to establish their headquarters in _ Gotham. Already they are looking out, oa the op- | posite shores in New Jersey and Williainsburgh, for sites for their manufactorics.

H. | Seward, will have to look out for some other em- ployment, more profitable than the vending of the moral poison with which they have so long dragged _ their dupes in New England and in the rural dis- _ triets of the State of New York. But before the | realization of “a consummation so devoutly to be wished,” what an amount of commercial calamity, and of that general misery which ever follows in its | train, may be expected from the blasphemous ra- vings of fanatics and the intrigues of unprineipled politicians, which are in store for Boston and every other city, East and North, still doomed to be visited by the plague of abe » Weesren serriva mw THe A letter addressed to Daniel Webster, by a on. large number of gentlemen in Boston, recently, pro- | posed that he should speak to them, and those who might desire to hear him, on the political topics ef heday. Faneuil Hall was named as the place for he festival; but the application to the Board of Aldermen for permission to use it has been refused —the very wise fathers of the city deciding, “in view of their recent action upon other similar appli- | cations, and of the present excited state of the pub- lic mind, it is inexpedient to grant the use of the hall.” This very sapient conclusion is not at all remarkabie. A proposition of a similar character has been negatived by the legislators at Albany, where Senator Beckman moved to invite the same honorable Secretary of State to come and speak on interesting topics. Yet the Legislature actually invited the patron saint of all Che humbugs of the day, and the father confessor of the Fish girls and of Rochester knockings, to take a seat within the pale | oftheir church, while the Speaker actually went | into an adulatory speech on this promoter of all the oddities and quiddities of faith in opposition to good works, Slievegammon slaughters, and all. We see clearly, in these unprecedented facts, the | influence of Seward and his agents in New York, Albany, New England, and Boston. The men who, | in our Legislature and in the municipal councils of Boston, can perpetrate such an insult towards Daniel Webster, are capable of sending an invitation to | Abby Folsom to set herself up as the model god- | dees of Liberty, here and hereafter, and of worship- ping her petticoats from stem to stern, now and forever.

H Weosvanay, April 16th—6 P.M. | The stock market to-day wes not very active. The wea- ther undoubtedly had a tendency to restrict operations.

At the first board Erie bonds, convertible, advanced one. fourth per cent., Canton Co, three-fourths, Erie R.R. one-fourth, and Harlem one- half, At the second board there was no change in prices, but the market closed dull, with a downward tendency.

It adds nine millions of dollars to the public indebtedness of this State, and appropriates a portion of the revenues of our public works to purposes not provided by the con- stitution. The advantages likely to be devived from the expenditure of such alarge amount of mo is no part of the question now to be considered, but the legal right | of the Legislature to contract a debt of this nature is the most important matter for disposal. and will, with- out doubt, fora long time, agitate the two political par- ties of the State, This movement affords another illus. tration of the weakness and imperfection of all laws. There never was a law made. yct, that could not be evaded; and constitutions, which are considered the regulators of all lay, can be construed any way, and made to mean anything and everything. The dif. ference in opinions entertained by the best lawyers of the country, in relation to the constitutionality of this ‘anal bill, is euffciently striking to convince any one thet the whole thing is a furee from beginning to end. It is well known that anything in science can be proved by scientific men, and it is equally true that any kind of an opinion can be obtained from Lawyers. The Canal bill has passed, in the fuce of the constitution « and of all the opporition made to it.and we stall coon have the certificates in the market. Notwithstanding the grave doubts which may be entertained relative to the legality of the isvue, we have no doubt the certifieates will meet with immediate sale, at a premium, Anything in the shape of a State bond, State certificate, Railroad bond, or, in fact, any public or incorporated seeurity of any kind, can be easily negotiated, and the demand is not easily satisfied. The public mind at this moment ie in a state most favorable for an expansion of rredite, and « | the inflation is progressing with frightful rapidity. Nine millions ¢f dollars will soon be afloat in this mar- ket. A new issue of certificates will absorb that amount of capital which is now actively employed in other chan- nels, and whieh forms, no doubt, the basis of credits for four or five times that sum To fill the vacwum created by this drain of capital, a”new issue of paper credits, in some shape, must be made, and the aggregate expansion increased. probably, much beyond the sum withdrawn, This is only one item. Nearly every State in the Union has added more or less to its indebtedness; and the maria extends from States, through all the ramifications of governmentr—county, city, town and village—down to all kinds of incorporated institutions, companies and individuals, One universal feeling animates every member of the community; and speculation, extravas gance and expenditure, in every way, is practised, appa- rently with impunity. The manufacture ef paper pro- mises to pay has already been carried to an enormous ¢x- tent, and the supply is increasing at a most rapid rate. Tt has obtained such an impetus, and so litte thought is given to the future, that it is impossible to arrest it, but in the urual way. The mania must pass through all its stages, aud end in a collapse that will eweep away every vestige of thourands who have been moet affected. There is #0 much excitement in the public mind, caused by the large receipts of gold from California, and by the expectation that the supply from that source is not only inexhaustible, but that the production, annually, will con- tinue as large as already realized, that it is useless to at- tempt to stem the tide which is setting so many, so power- fully and rapidly, to the lowest depths of bankyuptey, Like a fever in the human system, i must run its course, what- ever may be the result. When we consider what a weak foundation this enormons and rapidly inereasing expan- sion of public and private credits rests upon, we are alarm- ed, and wonder at the extracrdinary infstuation with which men, possessing, apparently, amoderat« quantity of ordinary common sense, rush headlong into ruin and dis- tress, The entire structure of credits is built upon a quick- sands, and we should not be surprised any moment to see it | tumble to the ground, with a crash greater than that of | any former period within our financial or ommereial history. For the purpose of showing what « condition we are in at this moment—of illustratingjthe truth of our remark, and the force of our predictions—we annex # table exhibiting the indebtedness of each State im the Union, and of the General Governmeat, at the latest date churette, ew York Jerney Ponneyivenis Marylana.

We must add to this enormous amount at least seventy-five millions of | dollars for the debts of cities and counties in all sections of the country, for which bonds are issued, This makes the indebtedness of governments, great and small, in the United States, at this moment, neagly four handred mil- liens of dollars, The debts of railroad and canal com- panies in the United States, for whieh bonds have been issued. and are floating about the money markets, amount to full eighty millions of dollars, The banks have beom expanding rapidly, and every month adds miliions to their loans and discounts, The loans at the present time of the banks cannot be less than four hundred and fifty millions of dollars, ‘The reports published hy the Seere.. tary of the Treasury make the aggregate $412 750,004, and many of the returns included im that aggregate, were dated four and six months previous to January, 1851, ‘The aggregate amount of bonds of incorporated com~ panies—of the genoral and State government«—of cities and counties—and of paper promises to pay held by the banks, cannot be much below one thousand miidiens of dots lars, a8 shown by the annexed table :— Pentre axp Private Ixpeetepsnee—1801 General and State Governments, 1860..... $275, oors 6 General and State Government imereace since 1850... scre cece, 40,000,000 00, Bonded debte of Cities and Counties, 1851, 75,000,000 00 | Binded debts of Railroad and Canal com- panties, 1851... £0,000,000 00 Leann etd dlnsounta f Menke in the States, 1851 ‘nitrd Total, 3861 $920 480,676 15 TLis is indepepdent of the Jmmmense cement of paper
