Mr. Srovanton delivered a locture bofore the Law Institute, on Wednesday ovening last, of which the following are a fow abstracts. Having intro- duced the subjects of his lecture by some appro- priate preliminary remarks, he said:—This common law sits in judgment upon us all. From the cradlo to the grave we are subject to its authority. No American lawyer would deserve the name, who had not made it the subject of profound study ; and no student could prepare himself for the practice of his profession, without the most patient and laborious examination of its principles. It enters into and forms a part of the organic law, by which our Union was created and is held together; it is embodied in, and forms a part of the constitutions of many of the States composing that Union. * * * * * I entertain for it (the common law) a very old fashioned veneration. It has been amended and improved, and I believe it may, and will, be further amended and improved. It has grown slowly through hundreds of years into its present form, and has improved with its growth, and wilPcontinuo to grow and improve, unless sap and destroyed by inconsiderate and reckless codification. There is a kind of codification which is quite harmless, and eminently useful. It is the collection of leading cases, with the addition of notes and references to each case, fer the purpose of showing how far it has been confirmed, or changed, by the late deci- sions, In this pursuit, our modern codifiers and reformers, would naturally acquire some little know- ledge of a system they so loudly condemn, and are so eager to destroy. They should remember tho advice of the Roman lawyer; that he who would alter the law, should first make himself acquainted with that he seeks to amend. * * * * * The learned lecturer thus concluded an elaborate but very able address, which occupied over an hour :— Men who live in civilized lands need not be told that there is a collection of broad and comprehensiv rules known as the law of nations. They were not framed by a congress of states, nor fabricated by that narrow conceited intelligence, which, if unop- posed, would amend and paraphrase tho ten com- mandments. They are the growth of many ages. States do not bow to their authority beeauso they are laws, but because they are just. They have no | binding force as enactments ; but that nation which | should disregard them would be branded by all other nations with the curse of outlawry. There | was a time when kings, in atonement for religious | offences, journeyed barefoot to Rome for Papal par- don and absolution. At this day, that monarch who, having violated the law of nations, should thus seek the pardon of offended states, would be com- pelled to make the cireuit of half the earth. The | great commonwealth of nations owes allegiance to | this law, as individuals owe it to tho laws of that state of which they are citizens or subje Blot | out this law and all free and kindly intercourse be- tween states would soon disappear. Weaken this allegiance, and that rich and varied commerce, which by mutual interchange bestows upon each | portion of the globe the blessings and the luxuries of every other, would wither and die away, wasted by legalized piracies and the plunder of kings. This law is not obliterated ; this allegiance stands un- shaken. The merchant fearlessly sends his costly cargoes to the ports of every people, trusting for their safety to this paramount common law of na- tions, which, founded in nature, and upon the princi- | ples of eternal justice, is recognized alike iS the Christian and the infidel, by the imperial despot and the representative of popular power. Every state bound by this law is a collective person, each quite independent of the other, and all for the sake of mutual intercourse, forming one great republic, go- verned by a system of rules drawn from the reason of man, the experience of ages, and the revelations of God. From the same sources were derived those rules, customs, and maxims, to which the common law of England owes much of its bulk, its authority, and its value. Men forming one great society, living in close intercourse, 600n established with | each other an infinite variety of relations; and | these could only be maintained and protected by a just regard for individual rights, without which the safety and happiness of all would be sub- ject to peril and outrage. Out of this necessity grew, in process of time, a system of rules distin- guished alike for simplicity and for justice. The ete from that sense of right and wrong of whic! the lowest intellect is seldom destitute, and of which the highest sometimes stands in need. They flou- rished and ripened into laws, by unanimous consent. Each individual in the community contributed his voice to their creation, and every dissenting voice weakened the rule sought to be established. No cu n Was finally settled until all acknowledged it of binding obligation; and when, at length, it had received the full sanction of one generation, it de- scended to the next, clothed in much of that sacred- ness with which filial reverence invests the dying in- juncti departed parents. Laws thus formed s at least one advantage over legislative enact- ments. The latter are hastily framed, upon little or no consideration, by bare majorities, who often disregard the true welfare of those they represent. The former are of slow growth, owing their origin lely to intri merit, and compelled to seek the universal assent of those whose interests are to be immediately affected by their rejection or adoption. J prefer the parentage of the common law to that of the law. I prefer the slowly grown custom, sanctioned by the silent acquiescence of a whole people, to a law framed by a Roman Em- eror, decreed by a Roman Senate, or enacted yy a Roman rabble. I prefer the decision of an English judge, pronounced after full argu- ment, to the edict of a Roman praetor, framed to suit the views of some Roman lawyer. I have now briefly described the origin and the nature of the common law. It has struggled against the prerogative of kings; it has denounced the judicial usurpations of the star chamber. Where jurors have jee verdicts in its name, fetters have dropped rom manacled limbs, as they did when the Angel of God spake in the olden time. It was invoked by the heroic Hambden, when he refused to pay the tax imposed by arbitrary power; and its repeated viola- tions finally conducted the author of that illegal im- position from a throne to the scaffold. It has carried, in its onward course, some of the fruit of that pro- mise made to the patriarch of old, that in his seed all the nations of the earth should be blessed. Tempests have shaken and rent thrones; revolutions haveshivered crownsand sceptres, and stillit has with- stood the blast of these tempests, and the wild whirl of these revolutions, waving its long, firm branches over a shattered State and desolated people. Its history is the history ofthe Anglo-Saxon race; and in the history of that race will yet be merged and yritten the future history of the world. It is con- dto no land, it withers in no soil. It is ad- ministered by English judges in that gorgeous Ind where the Macedonian hero sustained his first defeat; and it sways upon that lonely island where a modern Alexander was confimed and died. It keeps pace with the iron tramp of conquest, and poises the scales of justice when the rale of the warrior ends. Jt marches in the front rank of human progress, and expands and adapts itself to the wants and situdes of men. It is the bond servant of Christianity, and bears inscribed upon its principles everlasting fidelity to the revealed laws of God. (Applai Mr. Anthon, the Vice President, then announced that the next lecture would be delivered by William C. Noyes, Esq. The Late Explosion at Hell Gate. A CARD. The undersigned feels it a duty he owes tohimself, and the jurors empannelled to inquire into all the circumstances attending the death of Capt. Theo- dore Southard and Joseph Martin, to state to the public that the difficulty to procure the most im- portant testimony in this unfortunate explosion. arises from the fuct, that the individuals who picked % Mr. Maillefert, Captain Southard, and Joseph artin, when passing through Hell Gate, in their vessels, at the time of such nid ac ie and, after ren- dering all the assistance in landing the living and dead upon the shore, had to jein their respective ves immediately, and depart to places unknown to the Coroner. And in reply to the attack made upon the jurors and myself, by the Hell Gate pilots, in their card, dated 31st of March, 1852, and pub- liehed in the HERALD, of the first day of April, I would state that in my charge to the jurors em- pannelled on the aforesaid inquest, I did distinetly say that a report was in circulation, in the village of Astoria, that one of the Hell Gate pilots Weg sent along in his boat, close to the still-yard of Stephen A. Halsey, at the time of such explosion, and that he was requested by some persons in said yard to go and assist Professor Maillefert and his “men, who were at the time struggling in the water for Ii ni | Sound the wind blew a perfect gale. that the reply the said pilot made was, “ Let them all go to h—J; they ought all to have gone to h—1 | long ago; and if, in their investigation, they | found the report to be correct and true, | would | recommend them to attach to their verdict a reso- | lution of censure, to expose this monster in human shape to the public.

Joun L. Born, Justice of the Peaco. Revenue of the Post Office rtment in juence of the Hotablswnene of Col- lins Line of Steamers under the Postal Treaty. Congress having now before them an application to inorease tho pay of the Collins line of steamers, for ing the mails undor the postal treaty with Great Britain, it may be of impo: to state that since this line commenced running, the amount of revenue received by our Post Office Dopartment exceeds what has boon paid to Collins by sevo- ral thousand dollars. he following facts will vorify tho correctness of this statement. By tho postal treaty, we pay the British govern- ment three twenty-fourths of the postage on letters carried by the Collins line, and we re- ceive five twenty-fourths of the postage on letters carried by the Conard lino; consequently thisamount should be credited to the Collins line. There should be credited to the Collins lino the amount received for closed mails, and also the postage on newspa- pers; which added, to the postage received on lot- tors, would make a larger sum than has been re- ceived by Collins for carrying tho mails. These facts are worthy tho consideration of Congress. Wore the Collins line now to be withdrawn for want of tho aid, the revenue of the British Post Office would be greatly increased. ‘Total amount of mails recoived and sent by Cunard line to 31st March, 1852, under the postal treaty... seeeeeees $1,736,613 89 American portion 0 1,794 55 British bie 1,874,819 34 Total (288 trips)...

The Late Storms—The Weather. The storms that have visited us within the past few days have been the most widely extended and severe that have occurred ina long time. On the The steamers that started out of this port for the East were obliged to make harbors on the Sound, or return to the city. The officers of the Massachusetts declare that they never remember a more furious storm. The wind was very high, and the swell of the sea was very heavy. From the commencement of the sea until ‘Tuesday morning, no lights whatever were seen in the Sound; and from eieven o’clock until daylight, the officers were entirely ignorant of their position. An effort was made to run into Huntington harbor, but no light could be found, and accordingly the Dout kept on her way. At daylight they were eighty miles from Stonington, which place was reached at twelve o’clock. But few of the passen- gers, it is said, conjectured the danger through which they passed. The Massachusetts behaved nae and but about an inch of water was made in the hold. The freight from the decks was all carried into the cabin, which, it is thought, saved the boat. At Hartford it snowed violently, and several inches of snow fell. In New Bedford, Fall River, and other places in that section, large quantities of snow fell. feAt Blotiay prt the storm was violent on Monday night, and on ‘Tuesday the wind blewa perfect gale. About eight inches of snow lay on the ground, much drifted. At Portland about four inches of snow fell. At Baltimore, a severe snow and rain storm, ac- companied by thunder and lightning, prevailed on Monday. Much damage was done by the tide, which was unusually high. The Boston Traveller, of the 7th inst., ate the following account of disasters :--The brig Mariel, (of Belfast,) Staples, from St. Mary’s, Ga., for Boston, went ashore on Cohasset rocks during the late gale, and went {0 picoes All hands are supposed to be lost. A memorandum book, with Capt. Staples’ name in it, has been found on the beach at Cohasset. Her cargo consisted of 1,706 bbls. naval stores, 500 hides, and 4 bales deer skins, consigned to Means & Clark; 200 bbls. rosin and tar have been picked up on | Beach. Steamer St. Lawrence, Sturtevant, arrive here this morning from Portland, with 220 passen- gers; she left Portland on Monday, at7 P.M. Capt. 5. states that the gale commenced at 1 A. M. yester- day. At3 A.M. she was off Cape Ann, but the snow being so thick he could not make the land, and at 350 A. M. was obliged to headout. A large uantity of freight was washed overboard, and, at three P. M., it blowing heavy and a heavy sea on, was obliged to throw overboard more of the treiguc to lighten her. The gale abated at six P. M. and at eight P.»M. made Cape Cod light, bearing south twelve miles. ‘The boat had bulwarks stove, and received considerable damage in her upper works, &c. During the gale, James Sprague, seaman, fell from the upper deck and was drowned. Among the freight thrown overboard were several thousand dozens of eggs, large quantities of veal, beef, and live lobsters. A large bark, with her masts cut away, is at anchor off the Second Cliff, Scituate. A portion of her cargo, 18 bales of cotton, was found on the beach. The steamer R. B. Forbes has been sent to her relief. ‘The light ship off Minot’s Ledge rode out the gale in safety, and remained on hersta- tion this morning. The fall of snow at St. Johnsbury, Vt., on Tues- day of last week, was the greatest of the season. Nearly two feet fell during the night. At Danville, Vt., on Tuesday week, it snowed incessantly from five o'clock in the morning until nearly dark—fall- ing to the depth of fulla foot anda halfon a level. It was the hea’ snow storm which had taken place for twelve years. . Johnsbury, Vt.,a letter of the Ist inst., says:—‘‘It commenced snowing last night, and this morning there was some eight to ten inches of damp snow—imaking, on the old bottom, fine sleighing. This is the thirty-third snow storm we have had this winter; and to-day is the one hundred and forty-first day of good sleighing in St. Johnsbury and vicinity, this season. The thermometers have all “gi’n out,” and are laid up for repairs. Wood- rufft’s services will be in demand, this spring, fera rarity. A boy, brought up in Grafton county, and one who flattered himeecif that it was a little the “toughest” place this side of Sir John Franklin’s laciered residence, yields the palm to St. Johns- jury. The Hicnest Ties tx 1852.---In the course of the remainder of the present year, the highest tides pro- duced by the action of the sun and moon, unaffected by wind, will occur about the full moon on April 4, 5, and 6, and on May 3, 4, and 5, and about the new moor on Sept. 13, 14, and 15, Oct. 12, 13, and 14, and Nov. if, 12, and 13; and these are the only tides, thus produced, which will be higher than the “Unit of Altitude,” which, in Boston, is 114 feet. But no tide produced solely by the action of the sun and moon, however fayorable may be their situation with respect to the earth, is sufficient to cause da- mage. It is only when such a tide is further in- creased by a strong easterly wind that it becomes injurious, as was the cnse in the great destructive elevation of the sea, March 26, 1830, and in March and April of the last year.---Boston Traveller. The McHarcourt Forgeries in Santa Fe. {From the St. Louis Republican, March 25.] The public has already been made acquainted, by an official order published by Major General Jesup, of extensive frauds committed on several officers of the United States army, by one Gustavus McHar- court. We find the whole history of the matter to he about this:—McHarcourt, who has been employed for a long time in the army, and who has, until the discovery of these frauds, always enjoyed ahigh reputation for integrity and efficiency, was engaged by Capt. L. C. Easton, in September, 1849, as clerk in the Quartermaster’s department, and shortly afterwards went with Capt. E. to New Mexico. Shortly after the arrival of Capt. E. in Santa Fé, his whole family was stricken down by sickness, and in the course of a few days he lost his wife, his brother-in-law, and a servant. He was thus left with several small children, (one an infant,) without even the assistance of a ser- vant, and compelled to fulfil all the duties of father, mother and servant, in fact Mela | that apper- tains to domestic life. M¢eHarcourt, who, until re- cently, had always enjoyed the highest confidence of all his employers, was ikefefote necessarily entrusted to some degree with the control of business. After- wards, Captain E. being several times absent from the post, on duty, the management of affairs was, during these intervals, left entirely to the clerk. October last, Captain ., who was then wae informed by General Jesup of a de the items of his quarterly account, ending April, J. amounting to $5,000. He now examined his 1 some confidential friends in vered, to his alarm and as- that his books (which were kept solely by McH.) had been artfully altered in several en- tries in the then current quarter's account, by hanging the figures, and in two instances entirely ics of amounts received from other er, and thus reducing the amount to be ac- counted for, as shown by the b near $18,000 less than was in fact received and receipted for. The te appear uy on the face of the books when closely inspected. Captain BE. immediately wroteto General Jesup, aequainting him with the extent, and all the particulars of the fraud, and started at ouce to Fanta Fé, in pursuit of MeHar- court. ‘The severity of the weather was sugh (it on the road. Ho learned that MoHar- court had his name, and that of Col. E. V. Sumner, to ee’ with all speed, but to no : Ei had sucoseded in selling drafts forged by him as above mentioned, to the anfount of about thirty thousand dollars, and had left Chihuahua about six weeks before, for Durango, travelling with ent speed. Pursuit being now hopeless, Capt. E. returned to St. Louis b wey ct San Antonio. A reward of $1,000 was offored by Capt. E. for tho arrest, and which ho is still willing to pay. Thero is no definite information of the frauds committed by McHarcourt, but enough is known to say that thoy will altogether amount to not less than $50,000 in the aggregate. It is alittle singular that no one suspected him in New Mexico until information of these forgories was received from the United States. Such was his Mew character, that he sold the drafts in Chihuahua, drawn for largo sums, without any difficulty. Law Intelligence. U. 8.

M. ‘There was an active movement in all the fancies to-day, Speculation has taken a fresh start, and is likely fos a time to run full as strong as at any time this season, Those who come in as purchasers at present prices, must haye an immense amount of confidence in the value of the leading stocks on the market. An advance may be realized, but it can only be small, and hardly worth, at best. the risk. The two most inflated fancies are Erie and Reading railroads, notwithstanding which they continue the most active on the list. Norwich and Worcester, Har- lem, and Long Island, have for sometime past been in moderate demand, and prices have either been well sus- tained or bave steadily improved. Nicaragua Transit advanced two per cent from the opening, and three per cent since the ciose of the market yesterday. The sales con- tinue small. and the amount of stock in the street is pro_ bably turned many times from hand to hand. Par- ties intimately acquainted with the operations of the company. present and prospective, are not dis- posed to part with their stock. Tho few shares on the market were brought out by the suspension of a house holding them, and since they have been floating about among the bulls and bears, New Jersey Zinc Company was quite active to-day, at a slight advance in prices, The success which this company has met with im the manufacture of zine paint, and the prospects which are rapidly developing, with regard to its immense mineral wealth, have led toa host of imitators, each professing to be the possessor of ores similar to those of the New Jer- sey Company. S@far as is yet known, nature has seen fit to bestow on this peculiar locality a monopoly of the real oxide of zinc and Franklinite. It is, therefore, clear that new enterprises. based—as is represented—on the same mineral formation, are simply frauds, little likely to be discovered until the money appropriated to their develope- ment is expended, and their entire worthlessness made apparent. Canton Company went up at the int board to-day one per cent, with sales te some extent. We notice considerable activity in this stock in Boston. It is quite a favorite with the Bostonians. It is confidently stated that the stock is worth fifty per cent more than it is selling at- We have nodoubt holders in Wal* street will supply purchasers in Boston and Baltimore with all they want at several per cont below one hundred. We have repeateay cawtionad cnoeniators against this fancy. It is subject to such powerful galvanic shocks, that it is impossible totell one day where it will be the next. Phenix Mining Stock was in demand to-day at prices realized yesterday, As soon as this company gets fairly into operation. its stock will command much higher rates than thoee now ruling. It is about time we had some report from the Morris Canal Company relative to their future operations. The stock has been dormant nearly the whole of this eeason. ‘There were sales at auc- tion to-day of two hundred shares of Dauphin and Susque- hanna Coal Company at 6234, buyers’ option sixty days, This is a little below the last sale at the board. ‘The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port, to-day. amounted to $110,227 27; payments, $8.446 65—balance, $3,363,970 66. The National Insurance Company of Boston have de- clared a semi-annual dividend of eight per cent. ‘The Harrisburg, Portsmouth, Mountjoy, and Lancaster Railroad Company has declared a semi-annual dividend of three anda half per cent; the Honesdale and Dela- ware Plank Road Company. a semi-annual dividend of four per cent. Manufacturing stocks are steadily improving in market value, and continue to engage more attention for perma- nent investment. The greatest advance has been in water-power companice, Essex Company has run up from 82 to 97, within a week or ten days. Hadley Falls Company has also improved. ‘The manufacturers of New England are turning their attention to the production of a greater variety of articles, which will enable them to take advantage of all the different markets, and avoid those losses which frequently arise from an over supply of certain manufactures, . The effect upon the bonds of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company, resulting from the recent act of the Maryland Legislature chartering the Cumberland Coal and Iron Company, has been most salutary, Less than two weeks ago they were heavy at eighty per cent ; now they are brisk at $87 50, with an upward tendency, and bid fuir to go to par, ‘The receipts of the Long Island Railroad Company for the months of February and March, 1852, amounted to $27,356 77, against $25,510 11 for the corresponding months last year, showing an increase for the two months of $1,846 66. The large dividends declared by most of the country banks, show that they have been doing a profitable busi- ness, The line of discounts im banks generally has for some time past been largely expanded, and with only few exceptions, all loans made have been promptly paid at maturity. Business paper has for some time past proved good, and the prospect is fair for a long period of prosperity. The following banks have recently declared dividends :-— New Bedford banks:—Bedford Commercial Bank, 5 per cent; Merchants’ 6, and Marine 5 percent each for 9 months; Mechanics’ 3 per cent; New Bedford Institution for Savings 235 per cent for six months, payable on the 12th instant. Fairhaven Bank, in Fairhaven, 314 per cent. Haverhill banks:—Merrimac Bank 334 per cent; Haverhill 4 per cent; Union 4 per cent; the besex Bank is to pay in- terest on the stock, Salem banks:—Merchants’ 3 per gent; Commercial 4; Exchange 334, and Salem 3, New- buryport:—Ocean 5; Merchants’ 3 4-7ths; Mechanics’ 3 ber cent. | Springficld:—Agawam, Chicopee, Western, and John Hancock, 4 per cent each; Springfield 334 per cent. Mechanics’ 4 per cent, The Lynn Mechanics’ Marine Insurance Company has also declared s dividend of 10 per cent, payable Monday. Lowell banks:— Appleton 435; Lowell 5, and Prescott and Railroad Banks each 4 per cent. Laighton (Lynn) and the Waltham Banks exch, 4 per cent, Bristol County Bank, (Taunton.) and Tradesmens’, (Chelsea) 4 per cent. The Gloucester Rank has declared 9 semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent; the Rockport Bank 4, and the Malden Bank 314 per cent. Portland banks:—Canal Bank 3 per cent, $12,000; Casco Kank 3},, $10,600; Merchants’ Bank 4, $6.000" Manufac- turers’ and Traders’ Bank 6, $5,000; Atlantic g, $3,000; Bank of Cumberland 5 per cent, $5,000, Providence (R 1.) banke:.--Bank of Commerce and Bank of North Ame- rica each 33% per cent An important mevting of the firet cli Texas will be held in Washington city, the 1th inst, instead of the 4s first stated, The object of this meeting is to determine whether they will accept the rettlement of their respective claims, tendered them under the provirions of the act passed by the Logirlature of Texas, approved the Slst of January, 1862, It is par- ticularly important (hat every creditor should be present, or be repreeented in seme way, so as to render the pro- cvedings of (his meeting decided and definite, Some un- certainty haa existed relative to the payment of Texas sorip, under (he lato law of that State appropriating two millions to the liquidation of the first class debt, whoa the import dutics were nol specially pledged, and (he creditors of lolivery of the culprit, | eccond end third class claims. Tho State Treasurer of ‘Texas, in reply toa letter of inquiry upen this subject says :— In answer to inquiries, I beg to state that Iam noe Pave: claims, either in gold or m United per yb seycbe poe ~ dag Premium, interest calou- either oa New York, Boston, Philadelphia, or Now Or. leans, can obtain them here at par for the bonds, at the rate re stated. Under the decision of the President of the United States, all the creditors of the late republic of Texas must sign releases to the United States, to entitle any one of them to payment, Itis therefore indispensable that every creditor be represented at the proposed meeting, in person or by proxy. A vein of very beautiful cannel coal has lately been discovered in the mines of the Frostburg Coal Company, Cumberland. It lies above and parallel to tho great vein, and is about two feet thick. It burns freely, with a white flame, and isa very rich specimen of the cannel coal. ‘The total amount of subscriptions to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad, positively secured, is as follows :—Erie city, $300,060; Erie county, $200,000; Warren county, $150,000; FLk county, $100,000; Clinton county, $100,000; Lycoming county, $200,000; Lock Haven Borough, $20,- 000; Philadelphia individual subscription, $429,500; War- ren county, $52,000—total, one million five hundred and fifty-one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,551,500). A large amount of individual subscription has been secured by committees, still actively employod in increasing their lists, and from whom no definite report has yet been received. According to the report of the Auditor of the State of Ohio, it appears that the banking business in that State is excceedingly profitable, The annexed state- ment exhibits results much more favorable than we an- ticipated :— Banuane 1 On1o—Annvar Net Prorits. In 1850, 35 banks divided, net profits, 12 prc., and upwards, 22 do, do, 15 do. do, WW do. do. 18 do, do. 20 do. do. 21 do, do, 2 do. do. 2 do. do. 35 do, do. 12 do, do, 15 do, do, WW do, do, 18 do. do, 2 do, do, 21 do. do, 22 do, do. 2 do. do. 35 do. de. “4 do. ‘This is not surprising. when we look at the operations of these institutions. Their discounts amount to noarly three times their aggregate capital. With such an ex- pansion, it follows that great profits or large losses must. be realized. A bill in relation to the trusts oreated by the United States Bank, has beon reported by the Judiciary Com- mittee, in the Senate of Pennsylvania. We learn that it meets with general favor, except from the trustees, who, it is said, are using strong efforts to secure its defeat. By telegraph, we learn that the bill was taken up and passed in Committee of the Whole, ‘The Milwaukie Sentinel, of the 26th ult., learns from Madison that the proceedings against the Wisconsin Fire and Marine Insurance Company have been stayed, to give the corporators time to elect whether they will organize under the General Banking Law of the State, or discontinue busincss—Mr, Mitchell stipulating to take one or the other course. ‘The business of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for the month of March was generally anticipated to be quite large, but the result, as now ascertained, exceeds the most sanguine expectations. As compared with the correeponding month last year, the increase is about 250 per cent, as will be seen by the annexed figures :— Pennavzyanta Raitroan, 1851. 1852.

New bonds, with coupons at- tached, can be obtained at the Merchants’ Bank. They are nominally payable in 1872; but they may again be extended, The Common Council of Albany have, by a decided majority, passed a law loaning the credit of the city to the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad Company, by the issue of its bonds to the amount of $1,000,000. These bonds are to be issued in sums less than $1,000 each. bearing interest at six per cent per annum, the principal icluverenbla at the expiration of thirty years. None of these bonds are to be issued until the road ts located. depot grounds selected, and until subscriptions have been ob- tained equal to $10,000 per mile. ‘The railroad company are required to execute a mortgage on their real estate, road, and appurtenances, to secure the payment of the principal and interest of the bonds; and, also, the payment to the trustees of the Sinking Fund of the city of Albany the premiums which the company may receive on the sale of the bonds, and the further payment to the trustees of one per cent per annum, on the entire loan herein authorized. The city bonds may, at any time, be converted into the stock of the railroad company, at the option of the holder. The act authorising this issue of bonds is not to take effect until approved by the electors of the city, qualified to vote at an election for charter officers. It appears by the report of the Canal Commissioners of the State of Pennsylvania, for 1851, that the net revenue from the main line of public works, exclusive of the Co- lumbia Railroad, was as annexed :— Pennsytvania State Worxs—Prorits or Mary Livr, 1851.

The weight of the silver dollar now is 4123¢ grains, and the Senate bill proposes its re- duction to 384 grains, or rather it proposes to reduce the half dollar to 192 grains, and the quarter, dime, and half dime respectively, one-half, one-fifth, and one-tenth of the weight of the half dollar, The real value of the dol- Jar now, as compared with gold, is 40044 grains, The re- duction of value is thus nominally 6 91-100ths per cent, really 412-100 per cent—that is, less than 5 per cent. The reduction in the legal weight of the half dol- ‘ar (20614 grains to 192 grains) is insisted on, upon the round that silver is all the while going out of the coun- iry, and tbat this reduction in its value, making it a legal tender, (to the amount of $5, the Senate bill proposes.) is he only way to keep it in. The second great change in the Senate bill—and it is a very important one—is the seignorage it imposes of }¢ of one per cent not only upon coins, but upon all bars or ingots of gold or silver, which the act allows to be made and stam in ten ounce ieces, and under, down to one ounce, of standard weight and fineness, ‘The third change the bill proposes is a $3 gold coin, The fourth proposition is to put this act in operation on the first day of June next. 6000 Hud 20 Mt Bada, 25 shes Manbat Bk. 25 0 100 do 100 Phenix Coai ‘Co 100 io . 8 10 N York & N Haven. 111), 20 Michigan Southerm. 112 125 Erie 450 phy 150 < 50 350 oO 100 Hark 100 2%. om 20 Bowery Bk, 10 Ocean Bk, ae!

The return of winter has prevented the return of all ac- tive trade, and we have to report a very dull state of de- mand, which, though only suspended, is not without its effect on prices, especially of fancy goods. The impatience of importers of French ‘fabrics of the season, is driving them to the auction room, and prices have suffered, as jobbers buy sparingly, only to keep an assortment, a1 ing heavy stocks ofany one kind. Brown shirtings aud sheeting’ are dull, but steady in price: 5 a 6c. for light grades, and 61; a 65,c. for heavy goods. Bleached goods are without change, with a g but not active demand. Drills are wanted for shipping, and have advanced—blues, Saco) pueenea: 7% a TMe., br browns, 7}gc. Osna- gs have lost in firmness; are in large supply, with a slack demand. Denims sell moderately, at Bean rates; stripes and ticks are not active, and prices are in favor of the buyer. Printing cloths are inactive, and prices are entirely nominal, Prints are in fair demand, but the supply is too lurge. and prices are lower. Ginghams are steady, with a light stock and regular demand, at 104%c. Lawns are in request at 934 a 11}gc. Delaines are in de- mand ; but with an excessive supply, the demand has not increased with the extended production. Manchester goods cell at 16 a 17 44c., and Hamilton at 17 a 180. Cloths are doing better, but the stock is too large to amend prices. Cassimeres are quiet, at declining rates. Satinets, ‘on the contrary, are active, and priees rather buoy- ant. Satinet imitations of cassimere styles have beem very successful. Tweeds and jeans are steady, and a good trade still remains. All the interior of this State has yet to be supplied, aa well as the West beyond. Job- bers are fully supplied with goods to meet the expected demand, the opening of which has been retarded by the state of the weather. The opening, of the canals will hardly take place this month. British goods are rather more active, at steady prices—principally staple goods, as all dress goods are dull and heavy. Few British appearat auction. The market is, however, delt with French goods, and prices show a consequent deoline. Dress goods, except of a few choice styles, are very heavy, and the stock now offering on foreign account returns a loss to the importer. Prices are also falling on the other side. Ribbons are better sustained than other goods, om account of the limited importation; but a great many ap- pear for sale of last spring's arrivals. The importations continue light. No steamer or sailing vessel brings full cargoes; but our dealers are now sending their bu; abroad. to arrange for the fall importations. Those deal- ers, and importers, and producers fare the best who have bought ait pice tare limitation, but of great variety of assortment, yet the country out West is understood te be bare of staple goods, and large sales must yet take place. forming an aggregate of magnitude. though the numerous parties by whom the demand is supplied ren- der each share comparatively small, and give rise to complaints ot dulness, MARITIME INTELLIGENCE. 20: “Aspinwall. ay & Aspinwall.
