The only item of political news is the an- nouncement that the Southern Rights Convention of Georgia have nominated Charles J. McDonald for Governor. He is a leading member of the democratic party, formerly a Judge, and more reeently a very popular Governor of that State. Although a decided secessionist, he is a near con- nection, by marriage, with the venerable Mr. Ritchie, of Virgi It will also, be remembered that he was President of the adjourned session of the Nashville Convention. It is also to be ob- served, that only fifty-four out of ninety-three eounties have been represented at this convention im Georgia. Mr. Howell Cobb will probably be the nominee of the Union party, against Governor MeLonald. The Hoboken Riot—[ts Causes and Results. The two investigations-into the unhappy and fatal riot in Hoboken—one held by the Coroner at that village, and the other by the magistrates at Bergen—have been brought to a close. The testi. mony produced before both tribunals exhibits teveral curious phases, which are worthy of notice. There are some who attribute all the blame to the Short Boys, some who charge the Germans with the unfortunate results, and some who are disposed to lay the greater part of the evil at the door of tae police autborities. It will be found, ona careful perusal of the evidence, that none of these views are exactly correct, and that the responsibility and the guilt must be shared in unequal quantities, in a greater or less degree, with them all. The history of the case is briefly this—On Mon- day last, the 26th of May, the Germans, who, for the Jest five years, have been in the habit of holding an- nual May festivals, either in Hoboken or elsewhere in the vicinity of this city, proceeded to Fox Hill, adjacent to the Elysian Fields, to enjoy their an- cient celebration. They assembled, according to the testimony of some of the witnesses, to the num- ber of 15,000 or 20,000. Bat making all due allow- ances for exaggeration, there were probably half that number present; and constituting, as they do, alarge proportion of the citizens of New York, they were fully entitled to the protection of the laws, in the enjoyment of their innocent pastime. The Germans are a most inoffensive people. The Trish, with some few exceptions, are a quiet race; but the Germans are still more so, and are equal, if not beyond, the Scotch, in their peaceable disposi- tion, their lcve of order, and obedience to the laws. Unfortunately, there were fighting men mixed up with them, under the garb of white coats, who call themeclves “Turners,” from their agility in turning head over heels in various gymnastic exploits. ‘We have been told that the object of this society is to defend the weak, and we have no doubt that many members of it are well-disposed, peaceable, gallant men; but it must not be concealed that it includes a number of rowdies and desperate mea, who have within the last two or three years flocked to this city from all parts of the continent—a float- ing mass of restless spirits, consisting of Poles, Hungarians, and other nations, as well as Ger- Mans proper, who were red revolutionists, cial reformers and Fourierites at home, and would like to carry out their anarchical ideas here, if they could. The New York Tribwne is their #pe- cial organ. ‘These are the Short Boys of the Ger- mans, but for whose conduct, the German rac who are numerous in this city, are no more re- sponsible than the citizens of New York are rerponsible for the acts of their own Short Boys, who, for some years past, have disgraced this city and its vicinity. ‘“‘ When Greek meets Greek, then eomes the tug of war.” When fighting men mect fighting men, and Short B meet Short Boys, ‘then a riot may be expected. When there is a dis Position towards rowdyism, it is easy to find a cause of quarrel The New York Short Boys, who for years have infested Hobokenand driven reepectable persons from the enjoyment of its delightful summer retreats, de- termined to kick upa row, having in these dall times —when there are no elections y ing on, no primary meetings beld—become blue moulded for want of exercise in their peculiar vocation. They mingled With the German: in the out f their encamp- ment, and helped thems to the segars and beer from the stands, without paying for these articles ‘The owners of th nds insisted upon payment The Turners, or at least a portion of them, were hand, and gave the scoundrels a good thrashing, which they richly deserved. I «the proper eourse here would havé been to arrest these mars fog rascals, and hand them over to the police for fraud. But bad the Turners stopped with beating and diiving the Short Boys off the ground, there i+ Mo person who would be disposed to blame them much, or to rympathy for the rowdies But the Turners, not content with driving off the Short Boys, purswed them, to inflict additional ven. geance. Th ed them into the saloon of Me.

Justice Browning, who made some ineffectual attempts to sapp the riot at MeCar- ty's, was sever urt by’ the German white coats, and this was another Gods ond for the Short Boys. Weak man ae he was, he felt so indignant at the treatment he received, that he resolved to visit it upon the whole mass of Germ ins; and the Shor; Boye, with all the cunning of sto pone, to shift their own guilt or nnocent, in'uced him to ap. point them epecial constables, to arrest every (rer man who came tothe ferry. With the assistance of some Hoboken boys, as bad as themestves, they Jay in wait for their victims, and knocked them down, one by one, a8 they came quietly sd an wuepectingly into their ambuscale. Th ight shem first as prisoners to the office of Justice Brown ing, and thence to Bergen jail on stages, witho1t any charge or accusation whatever against them. [t as been proved that soapocty one of those arrested | } | States, at once, not only Vancouver's island, but all make a very important omission—they say nothing | about the conduct of Justice Browning, or the law- | less arrests and assaults upen the Germans at the | ferry and its vicinity, whick led to retaliation on | their part, resulting in the death of Martin Bridges, | an innocent man, who had nothing whatever to do | | with the affair. The Coroner and the magistrates | | have also acted remissly, in allowing the ringleaders — of the riot to escape from their hands. The result is, that the magistrates on this side the water re- | fuse to aid in their capture, alleging as a reason | | that the Governor of New Jersey refused to deliver | up George Wilkes, chief cf the stool-pigeon gang, when a fugitive from justice in that State. { Such is a brief and correct analysis of all the | legal evidence taken during the recent investigation | of this most atrocious and dastardly riet—a riot | which originated in the want of morals and integri- | | ty among the governing and higher classes of this metropolis, and in the weakness and imbecility of | the authorities both in New York and Hoboken. | | The united newspaper press of this metropolis has | | expressed but one feeling of reprobation at the con- | | duct of all concerned in the sad catastrophe itself. | A cry has been raised for the discovery and arrest | of the ringleaders among the Short Boys in those | shocking scenes. But who will arrest them ? Who | knows them? Who will take the trouble of bring- ng these scoundrels to justice ?- Judging from what | we have seen recently transacted in this city among | the politicians and the authorities, we should not be surprised to see some of these very scoundrels | the more readily nominated for some of the pzinei- | pal offices in the gift of the people at the coming elections. Probably some one of those brutal ras- cals who devised the plan of being deputized as special constables, and who imposed on Justice Browning, will want to be District Attorney, as a reward for his legal ingenuity ; another will be am- bitious of running for the Legislature of the State, _ because he blacked a man’s eye after his hands were tied ; another will want the office of Alderman; another desire to be chairman or secretary of some public meeting ; and another will make a speech, to be reported in the newspapers, on the necessity of the democracy uniting together, or of the whig party being true to themselves. These are the ma- terials, and such are the rewards and honors given to rowdies, of all sizes, of all descriptions, and of all rn his metropolis, according to the history of the last three years. Huffianism is getting ram- pant, by the corruption and profligacy of party polities. Nort Oregon—Tue Britisu Vioating THE Laws or tne Unrrep States.—The country north of the Columbia river, and south of 40° north lati- tude, is designated as “‘North Oregon.” It has been organized under the Territorial government of Oregon, and has already a population of several thousand whites. Many are employees of the British Hudson’s Bay Company. At the late ses- sion of Congress, measures were adopted for the more effectual enforcement of the laws of the United States there. A custom house was established at Olympia, on Puget’e Sounds, and 8. P. Moses, Eeq., of Ohio, was appointed collector. Within a few months past, two British vessels— the ship Albion dnd the schooner Cadborough—have been seized in North Oregon, and brought to trial, for violations of the Acts of Congress. ‘The Albion was detected in cutting, for shipment to England, valuable naval timber on the public lands. She sought to excuse herself on the ground of being employed for the Hudson's Bay Company, and under the pretence that the treaty of 1846 pro- tected her. Her employers, it seems, were not the Hudson's Bay Company, but some timber specula- tors, having @ contract to furnish ship timber to parties in England. The schooner was caught smuggling British mer- news of the day. There is very little freesoil in that State. Only a few spots exist, which are of the most arid descrip- tion; and the sooner its charecter is changed, the better will it be for all concert¥d. The democrats, _ for the year past, have been #sry actively at work. No place has been neglectef. They have pushed their policy and measures home to the bosoms and business of men, in doors and out of doors, in bar rooms, saloons, courts, churches, eustom houses and even to the prisons and penitentiaries, for aught we know to the contrary. At Reading they now propose to concentrate their forces next Thursday, ina State convention; and while the friends of | Buchanan, Cass, Douglass and Houston, will press their nomination, there will be a struggle to pre- vent any such action. Our correspondent describes specially the programme of the democrats; but there will be an equally vigorous display of tactics on the part of the whigs, some of whom will pin their hopes to the gold laced sleeve of General Scott, while others will turn with admiration towards Clay, Webster and Fillmore—all undecided, till the twenty-fourth of the month, when there will be a convention of these same whigs at Lancaster. We shall all have to stand on tip-toe, and look down upon Pennsylvania, to comprehend the first demon- stration towards the selection of Presidential can- didates by the regular nomination of the great national conventions, of which these State conven- tions are the pioneers and forerunners. We bave made full arrangements, and despatched from our oflice capable and efficient aid, to furnish every interesting particular of these movements in Pennsylvania, which will be hurried back to us by mail, by telegraph, by express, and every possible speedy conveyance, £0 as to keep politicians posted up. These arrangements will be continued till the questions in which both parties are interested shall be solved in some way or other. In our columns, the democrats will find the movements of their | friends fully reporied, as, step by step, they shall be divulged at Reading—and we shall perform a simi- lar service for the whigs, when they hold their con- vention at Lancaster. The sun of polilitics is ris ing. We must all wake up, and look for the new man going to the White House. Tue Buvapess or ENG@uisH JOURNALISTS AND | Exenisnmen.—The London Atheneum, in an ar- ticle on the folly of rappings and spiritual com- munications, says :— Since Mr. Barnum entered into the ghost speculation, the cirele cf operations has widened. and the means of intercourse have multiplied. Mr. Barnuin does his spiritualities on an improved scale. The mere rappi le failed to satisfy the craving for mystery; an pirits, at Barnum’s bidding, now condescend to ring bells, to write on scraps of paper, and to do other cour tesies to the astonished spectator. All the powers of the air are under the control of these showmen. Barnum is not only a god himself, but. like Alexander, his boast is, that he can make gods. What is most melancholy about these wretched impostures is, that several papers, other. wise considered reepectable, countenance and support them. The Trifune, edited by a distinguished American writer, son-in-law of a poet of European fame, and hav- ing « larger circulation than any other paper in the Union, does ite utmost to propagate a delusion which must choose betweqn the grosest ignorance and the most shameless impudence for its parentage. Here we have two blunders, at least. The writer has been misled by the fact that the Fox family were domiciled at Barnum’s Hotel, and has con- cluded, therefore, that Barnum, the Napoleon of all exhibitors, has been engaged in the speculation with spiritual affairs. This itogether a mis- take. Barnum has nothing to do with anything spiritual, beyond the divine—the angel, Jenny Lind —and the ‘‘scrups of paper” on which he writes are neither more nor less than the tickets for the Lind concerts. Barnum is not a god—he does not profess to be one. To be sure, he has the car of Juggernaut, to precede his menagerie and wax work and elephants; but he is no! a god on that account. He is only a high priest, at best, and gains preselytes from the multitude. In short, all that he has to do with rappings is confined to his six or eight elephants, who have already com- menced their work by rapping with their trunks— having killed a boy at an exhibition in Derby, Con- necticut. As for Greeley, we have not much to say. It is no wonder that the English journalists make mistakes about him. Ile is himself a mis- take. Ile is more the son of a gun, for he makes a loud report of himself, than he is the son-in-law of a poet. The writer in the Atheneum has con- founded him with Mr. Gruby, some time ago chandise; but she alleges ignorance of our revenue laws, and of their being in force in that region, and that there was no custom house or officer there. Both vessels, we learn, have been condemned and sold; but strong efforts are being made to get the forfeitures remitted. Our timber laws are, perhaps, in some respects, unwise laws, and may be unwisely administered; for they are strictly enforced with respect to our own citizens, in all cases, even for cutting timber not worth a cent to the United Stutes for naval purposes or any other purpore. The rigidity with which these laws are enforced against settlers in the States and Territories where there are public lands, may be foolish; but while this rigor is observed towards our own citizens, we presume the laws will not be relaxed as to British subjects or other foreigners. Especially while our own citizens are required to observe them, the Hud- son's Bay Company should not be exempted from their operation. Hereafter, the British, whether in the employ of the Hudson's Bay Company, or indivi- | dual speculators, will not have any excuse for dis- regarding our laws in North Oregon, as we shall have officers of the revenue and a marine and mili- tary foree there to compel their observance. We have, from the first, foreseen troubles, as tha inevitable results of some of the provisions of the | Oregon treaty. The British government ought not, | in prudence and wisdom, to have insistedon keeping | the country up to 54 deg. 40 min, including the whole of Vancouver's Island. To have avoided all dificulties thereafter, with the United States, the British should have yielded all the territory up to the Nustian line, including Vancouver's Island, | without demur, and thanked Heaven they had got rid of it. It is of no use to Great Britain, except to the United This ie not the true policy of Great Pritain. The withholding that country from us by the British, has soured the minds of many of the people of the United States, who be- jieve we had the best right to it. While Vancou ver's Island is possessed by the British, it is an eye- fore to the American people. The temptation to smuggle, and to violate other laws, all along the entire coast above the Columbia river, and on the line of 19 deg. in the interior, » ed by the treaty provision, giving to the British the | free navigation of the Columbia river, will induce violations of our laws, and create numberless dis- putes and difficulties. The British government cannot derive benefit from holding on to that country. The company of speculators, called the Hudson's Bay Company, are the only parties tha! will receive any advantages from euch policy. Thoy are a miechievous and selfish concern. Their rights, under the treaty, have net been, ax yet, definitely ascertained and settled by judicial decision, and some of their claims, if as reported, are absurd and preposterous. The British government chould ex- tinguieh all the pretended rights of that company, and, for a fair consideration, yield to the United apnoy the country ap to the Russian line, and hack east to 85 deg. wert longitude from Greenwich, and thence due south, to the present line, as soon as the | papers for the transfer can be made out. Mr. Wob- | ster should attend to this, and thus preserve peace and harmony between the two countries, and add another leaf to the chapilet of his fame. ' Yrucow Fevew at Rania —The British schooner Swal ty-five days from Bahia. reports several cases of low. th t there at the time of her eniling; but thers had t ho divonee, Among the latter, hew . ona pficee of wheie ship James € i * announced by that paper as the son-in-law of Bry- ant—a statement it would be difficult to dispute, though we have no means of proving its truth or falsity. A blunder of a Lord Mayor of London was re- cently exposed by Mr. Webster, in one of his speeches. Mr. Webster was invited to a Lord Mayor's dinner, and, being toasted by the one-year lord in question, the great statesman was an- nounced as a distinguished orator of the upper Senate of New York! And not many years back, we remember that the Times newspaper commenced one of ite leaders by announcing that the Governor of Harrisburg bad decided, after counting the votes, that General Harrison was chosen President of the United States. The London Economist has recently made a similar ridiculous blunder, by taking the statistics of New York for those of the thirty-one States of the Union; and Englishmen and English journalists are, in many cases, painfully ignorant with respect to the common geography of this continent. Less Latin and more practical knowledge would be useful Cask or Asutry, Convicren ny THe Soot Pickon Gano, AND NOW IN THE State Prrsox.— In the Supreme Court, on Saturday, this case came on for argument, and was heard upon the bill of ex- ceptions made on behalf of Ashley. This was the only case in which the stool pigeon con- spirators succeeded in procuring the conviction of the person accused; and now there seems to be the strongest reason for believing that the convic- tion was illegal, and that the judgment must be set | avide, and Ashley discharged from imprisonment, under a reprieve of the Governor. The question will be decided, in a few weeks, by the Supreme Court. We have had no time to examine the merits of this case; but, from the character of those moat active in the prosecution, we think it most likely that the accusation was false—got up by evidence manu- factured by One-eyed Thompson, and his associate stool pigeon conspirators. The conviction, there- fore, was probably illegal. What could be expected but false complaints, unfounded prosecutions, infa- | mous persecutions of individuals, and illegal eon- victions, when men of the worst character were al- lowed to usurp the proper functions of tke officers of justice, and permitted to abuse, villify, and over- awe the courts? It has been id that “ time at last sete sll things even;” and the stoolpigeon gang are all rapidly hastening to their proper doom. Mr. Wenster’s & Brvrato.—Almost every paper of any note or influence in the country, has published Mr. Webster's great speech at Buffalo. It certainly is worthy of extended circu- lation, and will undoubtedly do a great deal of good wherever it is read. There is one point, how- ever, to which we wish to direct the attention of our readers. The report of that speech was trans- mitted from Buffalo by telegraph—a distance of five hundred and sixty miles and upwards—and of course Was not so correct as it would have beew if our reporter’s manuseript had been handed to the compositore directly. He is reported to have said, towards the conclusion of thie speech :—* Gentle- men, I regret exceedingly that slavery existe in the Southern States, and that Congress has no power overit.” What Mr. Webster did say, was—“ Gen- tlemen, I regret extremely that slavery existe in the Southern States; but Congress has no power to act upon it. It may be, however, that in the dis- penration of Providence, some iemedy tor this evil may ceour, or may be boped for hereatter.” MAT | Soldier's Daughter,” will be performed for Mrs, Skerrett's Ie Cras oF MExIco AGAINST 7. @g Unrrep STATES. —The amount of the claims which Mexico expects the United States to pay. ts only twenty millions of dollars, and it is dou’ ted if Mexico can exist with- out this snug sum ,and some others, eventually to ‘be added to it. The cheaper way will be for the United Statics to send twenty thousand men, with @ govern and officers, into Mexico, and thus pre- pare the way for a peaceful and prosperous future, atte same time protecting the inhabitants from tae Indians. Mexico must be ours sooner or later, and the best way to act is, to march in and settle all difficulties. We cannot afford to have twenty millions of taxes levied om us in this Mexican fashion. Make it a territory at once. A Demagoave Dergaiep.—The defeat of Mr. Stanton, who was recently a candidate for Senator im this State, seems to give great delight, here, there and everywhere. We are not sure but this is quite right. Stanton has been an anti-mason, an anti-renter, an anti-slavery man, a wriggling whig, and we know net what, till, at the Astor House, some time ago, under the influence of cham- pagne andthe other sparkling chances of life, he came out as a Union man—everything by turns and nothing long. Such a man merits defeat. He is a demagogue, and should be banished from the ranks of every party. ‘Tus Hasmiy Festivan.—In another column we pub- lish the handsome letter of Max Maretzek to the Com- mittee of the Hamblin Festival, in which the manager of the opera places the whole of his forces at their disposal, ‘This gi token that the best results are to follow, and other managers, we presume, will soon be in the field. | The occasion promises to be one of great public interest. | ‘The Law Courts—June Term. * The business of the law courts for the June term will, from the appearance of the various calendars, be as heavy as usual, though some of the cases of great interest, which have for months attracted public attention, have for awhile passed away, whilst others have been argued and a few finally disposed of. In the Superior Court, the Willis and Forrest case was more than half gone through last term—the plaintiffs case had closed, and the defence was opened, when Mr. Willis’s counsel with- drew the suit for the present; and, although set down for the June term, it is not likely to come on, in eonse- quence of the absence of one of the plaintiff's counsel, who has gone to Europe. The Forrest Divorce case, also _ on the calendar of this court, must necessarily go over j till the Septemper or October term, because of the com- | missions which have been conditionally issued for the exomination of witnesses at a distance. The great Methodist case has been bags rg in the United States | Court, and, after ceeupying that tribunal eight or nine days, at an expense cf several thousand dollars to the religious combatants on each side, for counsels’ fees and | the attendance of the reverend directors of the suit. it | has terminated just where it should have ended half a | dozen years ago—namely, by a recommendation for an | amicable adjustment. ‘The’ three murderers of the | second mate on board the American bark Glen, who | have been convicted, will be brought up this morning for sentence, | These cases having been so disposed of, we do not an- ticipate any very important issues this month. Man: of the prominent members of the bar have gone to the World’s Fuir, and this, too, may be made the ground of | excuse for the postponement of suits, though to the | simple-minded civilian it may appear somewhat strange | that private interests and public convenience should be considered secondary to the towering propensities of men learned in the law. It will be for the Judges, how- | ever, to decide this point of professional etiquette. Musical and Dramatic Noveltle | This present week is to be a remarkable one in the his, | tory of metropolitan amusements, as, in addition to the most earnest efforts to produce novelties on the part of all the managers who have, through the season, been | engaged in administering to the taste of the public, we | are to. morrow night to have the return to the Astor place Opera House of the combined troupes of Maretzek, and Marti, of Havana, with the appearance of the nm: tenor, Bettini, in Edgardo. This opera season, which i solely under the direction of Maretzek, is not one to be | supported by subscriptions, but will be sustained by the musical taste of the public at large. Seats in the best | Places may be secured at one dollar and fifty cents each, | ang are surely worth this sum, if concerts by Jenny | Lind, Belietti, and Salvi cost twice as much, under the hammer; for has not Maretzek such arts as Bosio, Truff Caroline Vietti, Bettini, Lorini, Marini, and Beneven- tano? After a few nights at the Astor Opera House, this , great company will take up their quarters at Castle | Garden, where they may expect to be as popular asthe | Havana troupe was last season. To night our places of public amusement hold out very very strong attructions, to all of which crowds will be | drawn. The thirteenth concert of Jenny Lind is for the | benefit of Mr, Le Grand Smith, whose taet, talent, and judgment have been instrumental in producing many _ Tesults for the comfort and convenience of those who have attended the Lind concerts. No doubt that the public will give evidence of their appreciation of Mr. Smith's valuable services; and the entertainment of Miss Lind, to-night. will probably be more fully attended than | toorn recently given. } t the Broadway Theatre. we are to have the new operatic spectacle, Azael. the Prodigal.”” It is trans- lated and adapted from the French of Scribe, by Mr. | Charles T. P. Ware. a dramatist_who has never failed to carry his audience with him, The music of Auber is to form part of the spectacle: and the manager, who bas the most ample means. and equal liberality, has carried out the designs of the author in magnificent style. We think well of the decision which has rejected the weak translation of the English stage for the manly and vigor- ous production in blank verse. which now gives scope for all the artists of the theatre to display their talents. It ought to he well received; and as it is an American pro- duction. no doubt it will attract more public attention than it would otherwise command, We have given an outline of the play in another column At Niblo’s. to-night, Gabriel Ravel will re-appear, after an absence of several years from the scenes of his early trlumphs, He will be supported by the Ravel family and several new performers from Paris, who will render Pantominic and ballet productions exceedingly attruc- tive, wided by the requisite auxiliaries | At the Bowery theatre—in the pause which must in- | tervene between the present time and the great Ham- blin Festival—new productions are the order of the day, with Mr. Eddy as the principal performer. “A Day of Reckoning” is new play announced for thts evening, and doubtless it will attract largely, as it is backed by two favorite plays. | At the Nattonal T! tre a new drama of local interest, | « New York Apprentices.” is to be produced; while Mr. J.

The fact that Mr. Buchanan will appear as Sir Harcourt Courtiy. is one of great interest to every one who takes an interest in the higher order of dramatic talent. Mr. Buchanan's appearance has been anxiously looked for by his nume- rous friends. who have heard of his rapid improvement with much gratification. and his engagement must prove serviceable to any establishment.

Popular taste needs variety, It is now of the elephantine order, and though these new stars of Ceylon are not singing ones, yet they will oceupy a large space in the publie eye, and fill the entire breadth of the canvass Marine Affairs. Sreasenrr Fi. Donano.—We learn that the cabin par- sengers on board the steamship El Dorado, on her late trip from Chagres to New York, feeling that they had been misled by the agent at Chagres, and the captain, relative to the accommodations and fare for so large a number, signed a series of resolutions relating the fects. These were communicated to the owners, who, | upon learning how the passengers had been imposed wes. with a promptitade creditable to their sense of justice, dismissed every officer and «very other party ‘against whom complaint existed, at the same time expres:- ing their deep regret that any cause of dissatisfaction should have exieted on board the steamer. This example will have due weight in compelling officers and agents of passenger steamers to do their duty to their principals, ‘and to the traveiling public. who are compelled to rely presentations, and to be, for the time being, so much in their power Qeick Traveriise.—We announced, the other day, a | very quick trip made by the steamboat New World to Albany; but it will be seen, by the following certified document, that the New World's time was beaten by the steamboat Reindeer, in her trip from Albany, on Saturday — “We take great pleasure im saying that we enme pas- sepgers to-day on board the steambeat Reindeer, com manded by Captain A.

This society, formed by the pupils of the Sabbath school of the Sands street Methodist Episcopal Church, was held last evening, in that edifice. The scholars completely filled the galleries, their number being the largest of any Sabbath school in Brooklyn; and amount- ing; as appeared by the report lately made, to upwards of 460, The chaunting by the children throughout the exer- cites was highly creditable. An address was delivered by the Rev. A. 8. Francis, who took cecasion to make an appeal on behalf of the home mission, particularly the one in which he had been laboring—in the east art of Long Island, the village of Amaganset, adjoin- ing the Indian territory—where he described the inha- bitants, who get their support from the water, as living in the greatest state of heathenism that was to be found in any Christian land—where the Sabbath was totally disregarded, and (iod unknown. There was but one small Presbyterian church there, of very early establish- ment, and capable of accommodating about $00 persons; and he appealed for astistance in getting in the harvest from this field, which was white and ready, but for The Rey. John Pegg, Jun. delivered ‘a very eloquent address on the beauty and advantage of educating children early in the practice of benevolerce, as in this society, and baptizing them with religious ryinpathies. By the annual report read by the secretary of the school, Mr. Chitlem, (Mr. Pettigrew, that of the society, being sick.) it appeared that the collections for last year had amounted to $422 74; and the expenditure, includ- ing sums distributed to the home mission, Five Points, N. Y., the Brocklyn Ladies’ Missionary Society, Mari- ners’ church, Cherry street, N. Y., &c., was $402 36. Leaving, with the rum in hand from previous year, a balance, at present, of $38 48. A Christmas festival had been held, at which the chil- dren had collected $200; and a portrait of their superin- tendent, Father Joseph Herbert, the pioneer of Subbath schools in that city, had been presented to their school. Death had removed two, and the pastor of the church, in the course of the services, mentioned that 25 or 30 of the Sabbath school pupils had been converted, and become ken up.

Sunvay, June 1—6 P.M, ‘There has been considerable excitement in the stocly market during the past week, and quotations for most of the leading fancies have advanced considerably. Reading, Harlem, and Long Island, have beem operated: in largely, and large lots have accumulated tm the hands: of outside speculators, who have been induced to invest: in the Jast two named, from the rapid improvement goiag on in their financial affairs. The advance in Reading: Railroad is more of a speculative character, and prices have been forced up by combination. There is no doubt but that a dividend will be paid on this stock in July; but nothing is sure beyond that. The earnings of the company have, thus far this year, been much larger-thar’ for the corresponding period last; but the probability is- that the income for the last six months of the: present year, will be much less than during the seme period in: 1850, unless the canals connected with the coal trade meet with disasters similar to those experienced last. year. The Long Island Railroad Company has very recently revolutionized {ts system of management, and the best results are likely to follow: Since the road was given up by the receiver, ite financia affairs have been improved, its earnings increased, and it has been placed upon a more substantial basis im every department. The track has been relaid, its mo- tive power augmented, and its plan of operations more’ regulated by the wants of the travelling community, upon which it is dependent for support. The judicious- ness of this policy is already apparent, and if the income of the company continues to increase at the rate thus far realized, the stockholders will get a dividend at the close of the present year. It is a cheap stock at current prices, and there is such a wide margin for improvement that outsiders have been attracted by the prospects of profit, and made large investments in it. Harlem closed yesterday firm, at our quotations, Most of the holders of this stock have unlimited confidence in it as a perma- nent investment. For many years the management of this company have been struggling along, amidst the greatest difficulti Without credit, and with most de- termined opposition; without money, and with cliques of speculators controlling its finances, it has overcome every obstacle, and by the force of its own superior position and local advantages, it has triumphed, and become one of the most prorperous and productive railroads in the country. With one end terminating in the heart of the largest city on the continent—a city which will, before the lapse of many years, be the largest in the world—with the other end connecting with roads thousands of miles in length, extending to the remotest corners of the North, East and West—it must be one of the most important trunk lines in the Union. In 1849 this company paid two per cent dividend; in 1850 it paid four per cent; this year—1851—it will earn eight per cent, but will not pay more than six per cent. This wil! place it at once among the first class railroad stocks of the country, and give the stockholders what they have been so long and 60 anxiously looking for, The important connection with the network of Northern, Western and Eastern railroads, alluded to above, will be made on the 1st of December next, when the company will attain what it has been so long strug- gling for; and if there ever was a set of stockholders en- titled to large dividends and great prosperity, those o the Harlem Railroad are most assuredly of that class. We congratulate the board of directors and the stock- holders, that they can now take their place among the class of solid six per cent dividend stocks, with a good prospect of an annual increase of their rates of dividend. We see no reason to doubt that the future will show @ larger yearly increase than the past four years exhibits especially as the road is now dependent entirely on its local business; which, taking the first four mounths of each of the past four years, gives for 1848, $83,950; for 1549, $119,669; for 1850, $132,798,{ and for 1851, $170,828. The increase in 1851 over 1950 is already $38,000—equal to28percent. This ratio of increase threughout the year, would give a total of $635,000, without adding any- thing for the increased traffic, after the Ist of July, on the twenty-two miles new road then to be completed, But as the Harlem Railroad runs through a valley lined on each side with ranges of mountains, it has a complete monopoly of the traffic of the section of country through which it passes. For the long travel, or what is called through business, it possesses all the facilities for carry- ing on a strong competition with other roads, and will, without doubt, on its completion to Chatham, obtain ite full thare. When, therefore, we see that Harlem Rail- road is, at this moment, a six per cent dividend paying stock on its par value, and in view of the future produc- tiveress of the road, there can be no good reason why the stock should be now selling at 20 to 25 per cent be- low par. Canton Company has been rather quiet during the past few days. The rapid advance in the early part of the week, could not be sustained; but holders look for- word with confidence to the meeting of stockholders on the 5th of June, when it is expected a favorable report will be made. Erie Railroad stock and securities have been gradually declining lately, and there is such an immense amount weighing upon the market that it will be exceedingly difficult to sustain current prices. Mor- ris Canal is more buoyant than it has been for sometime Past. We have not heard much recently about the con- solidation of the old stock of this concern; but it is mere- ly a matter of time. The injunction is fixed, and can only be removed by conforming to the special act of the Legislature of New Jersey. Stonington Railroad has taken an upward start within the past day or two, with- out any activity in the stock. The stockholders of this company have not received a dividend for several years, and the prospect is by no means very promising, Nor - wich and Worcester looks well. Its earnings are wel maintained, and holders of the stock appear to be satis- fied. There is no stock pressing upon the market, and it is well known that the usual dividend will be made at the usual time. Edgeworth Company, and Portemouth Dry Dock, remain without any material alteration. A meeting of the stockholders of the Bdgeworth Uom- pany will be held in Boston sometime this month, wh the dividend question will be disposed of. It is stated that the company have sufficient in hand to pay adivi- dend of two dollars per share; but it is proposed to pay it in the stock of an iron tube manufacturing company located in Edgeworth Portsmouth will probably be laid on the shelf for the present. It will come out again, doubtiess, in due time. The shipments of specie from this port last week, amounted to nearly one and a-half millions of dollars. making the aggregate for the year up to the Ist of June— ‘8 period of five months—nearly thirteen millions of dollars; a larger sum than has ever before been exported from the whole county in the same length oftime. This fact ex- cites no apprehension. We are a gold producing, and can well afford to be a gold exporting country. Gold has become one of our staple products; and its exportation to a certain, or rather to a moderate extent, is as im- portant asthe exportation of a portion of our crops of cotton, corn, or tobacco. It is pretty certain that we shail get value received for it in some shape; and as it becomes distributed over the world, it gives activity to every branch of imdustry, and extends the commercint relations of all nations. The movements of the precious metals have lost that influence upon finanvial affairs once connected with them, and we are, therefore, com- paratively free from those sudden panies in the money market which heretofore have been #0 disastrous.
