New Yerk, Wednesday, June 35, 1851. Telegraphic Summary Passage of the Canal BA in the Senate—The Lancaster Conven= thon, &e. We have, by telegraph from Halifax, the an- | mouncement that the Europa has arrived at that port from Liverpool. The intelligence is three days later than that received by the Arctic. Cot- ton has advanced one-eighth of a penny on the pound, and sales have beea very fair. This news will be received with much pleasure on this side of the water, where the former accounts have created some unpleasant apprehensions in commercial cireles. The long agony is over respeeting the Canal En largement b ll, for it was passed by the Senate yes terday, by a considerable majority. The particu- lars of the vote will be found under the telegraphic head, in another part of chis day's paper. Nowthat the eubject bas been pretty effectually disposed of, we look for an early adjournment of the Legisla- ture, for it is not reasonable to suppose that four @ollars a day will tempt the members to remain in eeasion, when no particular business is before them, during this warm weather. This bill having been the public may expect an immense quantity ing of contracts under it. Numerous contractors oa the Erie Railroad find their occupations gone by | the completion of that work, and we venture to eny that many of them w manage to transfer their implements of woek to the canal enlargement, and make something out of the nine, or ten, or eleven millions of dullars that ¢ to be expented upon it. The Pennsylvania Whig State Convention as aembled yesterd t Lancaster, and, as appears by our despatch, n acclamation, asthe whig candidate for re-electi to the office of Governor of thy State. A namber ef resclutions were passed, breathing a protec- tive tariff, and denouncing the tariff act of 1316. They also recommend the nomination of General Scott for the Preeidency, while thoy compliment President Fillmore for his adherence te whig F ciples. After the adjourment of the conventioi Govervor Jobuston delivered an address in front of the [Tod, which elicited considerable onthus) 5 We learn from Washington that the enormous quantity of four hundred thousand dead letters have been received in Washington from Califoraia. ‘This-accounts for the six or eight hundred thousand disappointments which have been experienced within the last year or two, by people in the At Jantic States, who wrote those letters, and the people of the Empire State of the Pacific, to whom they wore addressed. High Tariff Nonsense—The Herald and the | Tribu ‘The abolition whig organ of this city--the Tri- | dune—took occasion yesterday, in a long, foggy and jumbled up article on the protection po- licy, without head, or body, or tail, or anything else, to make an assertion concerning the Mew York Herald, which is as wide of the mark, and of the real facts of the case, as it could well be. It said— af she country to the other, counties, Natiis Salltond tod eoual oompazica axe en: zed in iesuing certificates of debt; and so long ax ‘ope shall continue to receive them in exchange for ‘woollens and cloths, «ilks and railroad iron—so long as we ean eat and drink and wear without the necessity for ether labor than is required for engraving. and printing, and signing bonds se long will the amount of customs’ duties be Larger, and it is to the present facility of selling these bonds that the present state of the revenue is due. ‘The ability of the national trearury to meet the demands upon it is becoming every hour more and more depend- not upon the condition of things at home, but upon Abe movements of stock gamblers abroad. This, however, i a consideration as carefully kept out of view by the ‘Tones, as it is by the New York Pos’, sad Herald, and JouFnal of Commerce, all of which systematically avoid Doticing the fact that our consumption of many of the ‘mont important necesearies of life diminishes as our debt increases, As far as the Herald is concerned, we deny the im- patation thus cast upon it, and can refer to our files, from the time of the firet insue of our paper to the present, in refutation of the charge. So far from the Herald concealing such facts, it has always been | eur way to direct the attention of the public to the evil effects of creating loans abroad, in causing in* fiation, overtrading, and «peculation at home, and eventually revulsion, bankruptcy and ruin to the @ommercial interest. As to the long rigmarole in the Tribune about the mecessity of a protective tariff, it is all noosense. The high duty theory has been abandoned years ago. It has become obsolete, and there is nostates- man of any standing who would at the present day have the temerity, or would risk his fair fame and Reputation, by advocat ng a return to it on the part ef the United States, on the ground that it would be beneficial to the people at large, and add to the Wealth of the country. The whole subject has been #0 often discuseed that all that could be said apon it, has been said, and the verdict bas been render ed, that howsoever profitable it m»y be to manufac turers, bigh tariffs act injuriously,on the people. Aod if any attempt be made by the whig party, through the influence of the manufacturers of th States, to make high tarif a question in the I’re- idential election of next year, it will, mare at the m rires in the enst, be not only wholly without effect, but will react disastrously on tha’ party or years to come. None but arguments of the character of the Tribune's article, of a very foggy, contracted and obseure character, can be adduced ia favor of the high protective system. Bawx Swinpt.ixe ann Srqot. Piakon Frsanciens —We continue, today, our report of the judicial examination of the financial operations at Morris Toie placer is the richest since the opening of the Plainfield district.

Green, tho late agent | of the United States government, to the editors of the Tribune, in which the errors of those philosophers and their Slievegammon intelligence, are daly no” | tied and corrected. ‘This is precisely what might | have been expected; and if all the nonsense on Haytien affairs which appears in the socialist jour | nal, should be subjected to investigation and cor. | rection, the task would never be at an end. The fact is, that the socialist philosophers and interpreters of Slievegammon news, are ready, at the beck and call of certain commercial houses in | Boston and this city, to publish anything that may | elevate the hopes of Soulouque, otherwise entitled Faustin the Furst. [t is the purpose of these specu- lators to deceive the Emperor—to make him think that the American people are inclined to view with pleasure his plan for subjugating the Dominicans to his government, as well as to receive his ageats here ona diplomatic footing. The interest which Soulouque’s bankers and commercial agents in the North have to make purchases for the Haytien go- vernment, and, of course, to handle the funds of the Emperor, is the prime cause of the very curious in- elligence—more properly known in liberal language as falsechoods—which emanates from Boston fre- quently, and sometimes from commercial houses in this city; and it is quite time that all these attempts | atimposition, whether designed to deceive Sou- | louque or the American public, should be ter minut- ed. For acouple of years, the payment of the in- been staved off by these commercial speculators; and, not contented with this exertion of their in. fluence, they are now upheld by fabricatious wich the Slievegammon philosophers are busy in exte ing and amassing. Mr. Bonjawin L. Green very properly shows of what material these titerary cox- combs frame their extraordinary intelligence. It is well that they are unmasked. Distiacuiemep Srrancers iN THe Crry.—A few | days ago, the Count Villeneuva, from Havana, with his lady, and several Spanish officers, arrived in this city, and tcok lodgings at the Clinton ILotel It is the purpose of the Count to proceed from this city to Euroge, and finally to arrive in Spaia. Count Villeneuva is a native of Cuba, and by his talents and energy has risen tothe first grade of wealth and respectubility—devoting his mind with eingular sue to the financial atfairs of the go- vernment. His largo intelligence, for the last quarter of a century, has been of ¢ Cuba, and he has done much in introd ing to his Norton, William Thompson, Samuel 8. Joseph Cutler, and Jacob M. King. for ri te Poses the Biodee holders of the State Bank at demnity due from Hayti to the United States, has | eat service to | countrymen those great mechanical inventions, and | | | material improvements, which have had so great an | effect upon Europe and the United States. The | introduction of the steam engine an] railroads into | Cuba, was owing to his financial sngacity and fore- | sight; and, to aredsonable extent, he has entertain- | ed the prince | anenlightencd public policy. Amilst the changes | and revolutions of the last twenty-five years in Cuba, it is net the least commendable fact in the Count Villeneuva’s history, that his integrity aad financia! talent, coupled with energy and zeal, have kept him in his distinguished office. He has now resigned it; and the office of Jntendente, or See- retary, so ably filled for so many years by the Count, will be consigned to the hands of another— the Count, probably, retiring to Spain, where he | will devote his loyalty to the Queen in person, at Madrid—hereafter to be his residence for a couside- rable period. Another inguished stranger in the city, is Senor Calderon de la Bar He bas been aceredit- ed from the Court of Spain to this country, for several years. Few foreign ministers have enjoyed for so long a time as he, such a measare of popu- | larity with the people and the officers of our go- vernment. Ile is highly distinguished for his lite- rary taste and researches into Spanish literature, and is, we believe, a descendant from the great Spanish author, the immortal “Calderon. Some recent accounts have stated thet he ia about to re. tire, and that Gonzales Bravo has received an a pointment in his plase. mature announcement, and has been contradisted. It is quite possible, however, that such an event | may take place, for Spanish polities are of a fluc- tuating character, and the issues are uucertain. Our city authorities have shown, hitherto—much to their credit—a disposition to extend the hospi- | talities of the Meet gpcasen to distinguished foreign- ert; and we would suggest that, as we have now such eminent men from Spain among us, the wishes Cuan, and of our commercial circles, would only guished strangers the attentions to which thei Many merits entitle them, not less than the em) nent positions which they h vernment.

Ephraim Marsh sworn.—I was in the city of New York ‘on the 30th of October, 1849; I saw there Mr. Sanderson Col, Thompson and Lambert Norton, at the Merchants’ Hotel; Thad conversation with them; heard them co verse together on the subject of the difficulties of the, State Bank at Morris; I think there was a placard on the rubject of the State Bank at Morris; it was there in the jon ef Mr. Sandersou and Mr. Norton; in about ‘an hour after Col. Thompson came, and they pre- sented it to him; I think the placard was to the effect that the State Bank at Morris had failed, and cautioning | people against taking their bills; this was in the fore- noon; something was «aid about coming in the afternoon train; I came myself in that train; Col. Thompson was | in it; the train arrived, [ should think, not far from 6 | o'clock; it was not before 6, nor later than 7 o'clock; I _ think it was seid by some of them that they supposed the death of lard Karle was the cause of it, and there was some diffleulty about the money of the bank he had in his possession.

Only four were brought down, and it was impossible for the | proprietors to say, last evening, whether these escaped or not. There were on the lower floors between sixty and reventy horses, all of which were let loose, and could be seen galloping through the different streets in the upper part of the city, A block of wooden buillings ad pg was also destroyed.

Hampi Festiva, —This affair came off last evening ; but owing, we presume, to the high prices of admission, there were not more than two thousand persons present. High prices at any time, mo matter what may be the attraction, have been proved to be always, to say the least, Ul-judged. Wer» the tickets placed at one dollar to the parquet, and fifty cents to the gallery, there would have been probably ten thousand persous in the house, Seats could have been, besides, reserved for Mr. Hemblin’s friends, at say from two to three dollars each However, the audience presont were highly respectable, and the entire performances passed off with the greatest éelat, ‘The third act of “Lucia di Lammermoor’? was Plsyed very ffectively. ignoring Bosio, and.

Money on eali was quickly taken at six per cent, ard we hear of large sums wanted, even at that price. This is however, no evidence of a more stringent money market. The banks continue to discount liberally and freely, without increasing very rapidly the aggregate amount of loans. The banks . of this State are sbout making up their regular quarterly statements, and the probability ia, that after the fit of July, money will be as cheap and a8 abundant as it hes been any time this year. We shall not ship much gold this week, but next, there are two steamers from this port for Liverpool, and they will take out a large amount of specie, The shipments now consist principally of American gold, double eagles, The banks have been a little alarmed at the large and steady shipments of specie, but it has had ‘no visible effect upon their movements. California hay given us, thus fur this year, about ten millions more than we have sent to Europe; and the probability is, that as the season advances, the arrivals from California will in crease, and the shipments to Kurope decrease. A large amount of specie will go forward, immediately after the “Ist of July, on account of: interest due to foreign holders of American securities. I is estimated that the ameunt Of interest on our stocks held by foreigters is full twelve millions of dollara per annum; and the semi-annual pay- ment, due in July, will be made in gold this year. There is, therefore, very little chance of a falling off in «bipment, of epecie before August or September, at least. The Harlem Railroad Company bas declared a half- yearly dividend of four per cent, payable on July 1. The books will close on Thursday. The Bank of America has declared a dividend of four per cent, for the last six months; the Seventh Ward Bank one of 4!4 per cent; the Tradesmen’s Bank, three dollars per share. The Bank of the State of North Carotina has declared a hulf-yearly dividend of 5 per cent. The New Ia. ven Bank bas declared # semi-annual one of 44; per eent; and the New Haven Company Bank, one of 5 por gent for the same period, Merers, Wadsworth & Sheldon, 65 Bachanye place, will poy, on and after the 1st of July, interest on the stock of the State of Hiimois, at the rate of seven doliars cash per thousand dollars of stoek. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this pert, to-day, amounted to $116,1#2 €1; payments, $45.559 $8—balance, $2,797,751 83: ‘The aggregate amount received for tole at the Canal Collector's office in this city, from the opening of navi- gation to the 23d of Jane, 1851, was $196,900 79, against $10.01 21 for the corresponding period in 1850, showing an increase in 1851 of $19,008 58. ‘The ageregate amount received for tolls on the canals of this State, from the mmencement of navigation to ths Lith of June, in- clusive, was $040 494 0. against $732.747 6for the same period in 1850—jncrease in 1851, $21674601. If even this increase is preserved throughout the season, the ag- gregete tolls for the year will be nearly equal to thae collected in the great famine year—144/—when euch large shipments of breadstufls were made to Great Bri-~ tain and Trelacd. The Utien Woollen Mills has declared a somi-annuy dividend of 54 per cent, and the Utiea Gas Company 235, percent. Mcstof their stocks are owned by parties in New York. If there ie no mistake in the figures, these companies have been bighly successful, much more se than similar stoek companies in other parts of the coun- try. The directors of the Troy and Greenfield Railroad, at » meeting brid at North Adams, resolved to construct this read as rapidly as possible. If the assessments are al? promptly paid, the road will be completed from North Adams to Troy by next January. It ts their intention to commence tuaneliing the mountain at aa early date, in order that they may have some data beside theory tc operate upon the next Legislature for a loa. If the practienbility of accomplishing the work for the #um pro- posed can be demonstrated, there will be no hesitancy in granting State aid to the enterprise. ‘The f lewing i* taken from the Sumter Banner, South Carolina, of the 18th instant, relating to the Wilmington | end Manchester Railroad bouds now offering for sale in this city: ‘We feel aseured that no more enfo or advantageous in- Yertement could be made than this, expecially to onr own people, A Ican of €300 000, aeeured by @ mor! of the sbole rond. with the privilege at any time of changing the debi into stock. is thas proposed to be effected: This fm unt ie to be expended in furthering the road to com. pletion, by the purchase of tron, locomotives. &«,, and added to the amounts siready laid out, and the stock ere can impair the security of the inwestinent is no dowbt in our mind that a year or two wild (ly increase the market vale of these bonds, road, whieh a year or two more will eomplete, will be © only chanuel through which will pass the teanaporta d travel eclleoted at its extremities by the vasious nitying north and west of it, and. passing a weil settled and opulent country. whose varlow preduets will give it consta: 1 profitable ceenpation, ite sived. by it rite, will rise far above its par vriue, ord the p 1 with i ‘ove a n of comAiny ing wits if this groat from its projection to its completion, We add, thet it is desirable, in every point of view, that Seuth Carclinians should thus become the creditors
