The New Yonx Weekcy Henarv will be published at balf-past nine o’elock this morning, Its contents will ‘embrace the important news of the week. Single copies, in wrappers, ready for mailing for the interior, or by the steamship Washington, for Europe, can be obtained at the office The News. The United States Senate yesterday, after pass- ing thirty private bills, resolved to relax from their labors until Monday. The House of Representatives yesterday referred the bill for the better security of passengers on board of steamers, to the Committee on Commerce —teok a cursory glance at the Florida and Alabama right-of-way and land bill —passed a few enactments from the private calendar—and after a debate upon the Indian appropriations, took up the Deficiency bill. After some discussion, the Hwuse receded from the amendments to which the Senate had refused its assent, and disagreed, by a vote of 42 to 97, to the Senate’s appropriation of fifty thousand dollars for the per diem and mileage of Senators, Represen- tatives, &c., thus rendering it necessary for the bill te go back to the Senate. This bill contains appro. priations to the amount of five millions of dollars. Mr. Clay’s will was read and recorded on Monday last. He has bequeathed his property entire to the members of his family, his widow retaining for her sole use and benefit the Ashland homestead. In re- gard to his slaves, he has directed that all born after the first of January, 1850, shall be liberated and sent to Liberia—the males when they arrive at the age of twenty-eight years, and the females when twenty-five—previous to which,they are to be taught to read, write, &c.; and the proceeds of their labor for three years previous to starting, are to be appro- priated to defray their expenses to their new home. The older slaves are to remain for the benefit of the family. The telegraph announces the confirmation of the report, by a letter published in the New Orleans Picayune, that the late outrages on the Rio Grande were perpetrated under the order and sanction of the eommander of the Mexican forces on the frontier. If this be true, there is trouble in embryo. The American Consul intended to leave Matamoras immediately, for Washington, to lay the facts be- fore the government. A large whig ratification meeting convened in front of the Exchange, at Albany, lavt evening, of which John C. Spencer, who was Secretary of War under President Tyler, was chairman, and also the principal speaker. A concise but comprehensive report from our special correspondent, will be found under the telegraphic head. Judge Chambers, of Maryland, to whom President Fillmore tendered the vacant post of Secretary of the Navy, has not yet signified his intention of ac- cepting The District Attorney of Washington has aban- doned the indictment found against Jonas P. Levy, for furnishing information to the Mexican President, in violation of a law of Congress.

No business of importance was transacted, either inthe Board of Aldermen or Board of Assistants, yesterday. The Board of Assistants stands ad- journed to the firat Monday in August. The rogue was finally Aw Important Newsrarer OnGax.— penny psper calls us ‘the Corporation organ, tuned regu- Jarly at a cost to the city of only $3,000 a year, which is cheap, considering the service rendered.” We believe this is pretty nearly correct. We ad- vertise for the Corporation at $3,000 a year; and from the amount already advertised, we think it too cheap, and have some intention of sending in a po- tition to increase the compensation to five or six thousand dollars a year, on the ground that the great city of New York can afford to pay for its advertisements as good a price as the honest and tidy Irish chambermaids. But we are not the Cor- poration organ alone—we are the organ of the Irish chambermaids, who pay much better than the Corporation—we are the organ of auctioneers—we are the organ of shipping merchante—we are tho organ of those who have to let houses—we are the organ of those who want to sell bonds and to buy bonds—we are the organ, also, of many of those young people who get warried; and we are the organ of many of those unfortunate beings who die and have to be buried. Now, all these different classes, to whom we are the organ, pay us much better than the Corporation of the great city of New York; therefore, what the penny paper says—that our services are cheap—is very true, and we have the irresistible impulse to demand five or six, or seven thousand dollars, for the services we give in publishing their notices among our three hundred thousand readers in this eommunity. Dante, Wenstm, ano Mr. Grivwein AND Mr Draren —The mysterious desertion of Mr. Webster by Mr. Simeon Draper and Mr. Moses H. Grinnell, st the Baltimore convention, when, probably they might have nominated the great statesman had they stuck to him—the mystery of their desertion and of their fraternal co-operation upon Gen. Scott, is just coming to light. Some of the Seward-Scott organs of “the rural districts,” with a good deal of puffing, have proposed Mr. Simeon Draper as the whig candidate for Governor. That fixes him. 1¢ Gen. Scott is elected, and Mr. Grinnell is appointed Reeretary of the Treasury or Minister to England, that will fix him; and the accounts on beth sides will be fairly squared and balanced. In such an event, the almanac makers will be at no loss in ac- counting for the conversion of Messrs. Draper and Grinnell from Webster to Scott. interesting science in these days, and old muskets are cheap A Noves Srecracte.—To see at this season of the year, when there is no election at hand, several detachments of men, in various parts of the city, actually engaged iv cleaning the streets. Polities are a very | Tus Warrninc PLaces—NewrortT—Tae Mane Liqvor Law.—The erowds and clouds of travelless | Tus Mowrara, Vine—Mrrrima or tne Pasncn.— arriving in this city every day, Northern fashionable watering places, are really surprising. For the last five or six days, especially, ‘the arrivals at several of our principal hotels have run up from twe hundred to two hun- dred and fifty per day. They generally remain here two or three days, shopping and sight-seeing, and arranging their book of travels for the summer campaign. A large proportion of them pass off to the White Mountains, the Switzerland of Yankee land ; but the democrats among them make Concord, in New Hampshire, one of the interesting points of their journey. The letter of our correspondent, published yesterday, shows that Concord is be- eoming quite a place of resort, especially for the politicians who have nothing better to do than to look after their own health and that of Franklin Pierce. Others of our summer visiters file off to Saratoga, Sharon, Lebanon Springs, Niagara, and thence down Lake Ontario, the rapids of the great St. Lawrence, to Montreal and Quebec ; and some even pass onward to that deep, and dark, and awful river, the wild, the wierd, and rock-bound Saguenay. | But, alas! for the puritanical Jesuits of the Maine Liquor law. The annual migrations to Newport, and Nahant, and other down East sea shore establishments, appear to be suspended. They have very few visiters at Newport ; but plenty of room—plenty of empty places. According to the last Newport newspapers, only a dozen had arrived that day at each of the principal hotels. Honest men and pretty women will not go to that dirty, cold water Rhode Island. The Maine | is just going into operation. Pri- | have supplied themselves against — the famine ; but the hotels, with nothing but water and lemonade as a legal tender, may well stand aghast. The patronage which they have, with some exceptions, is of the meanest milk and water type— bran bread philosophers, long-faced brethren in white cravats, and poor old maids, lean and lank, and sharp and angular, and sour as vinegar ; temperance lecturers, socialists, spiritual rappers, stray sheep, | and wolves in sheep’s clothing. The law-makers of Rhode Island are surely the wise men of the East, with a vengeance. Of courso, the travelling public will not put up with their ridiculous law. A place that is so righteous that it isa criminal offence to sell a glass of wine init, even to a stranger, may do for reformed drunkards ; but people who have nei- ther been the slaves of rum, nor converts to lemon- ade and root beer, will go elsewhere. A despotism is bad enough to submit to from necessity ; very few will seck its protection as a matter of enjoy- ment. The Maine Liquor law will prove a costly experiment to the Solons of Rhode Island. It is a law for the exclusion and expulsion of the travelling public from Newport ; and they will have enough of it before the expiration of the dog-days. Tue CounTRY AND THE CuRRENCY.—This coun- try, apparently, was never so flourishing as at this moment, and its currency was never expanding with greater rapidity. Bank paper, railroad stocks, bonds of all kinds, State stecks, city and village bonds—everything in the shape of credit, is increas- ingat arate much faster than even the imports of Californian gold can meet, were they two millions a week. The effects of these movements are to build up new structures, construct railroads everywhere, tear down good old buildings and put up new ones, to launch out into all sorts of expenses, and to import more foreign merchandise than ever the United States witnessed before. Last year our foreign im- ports were two hundred and twenty millions. This year they will be two hundred and forty mons; and next year they will probably amount to two hundred and sixty millions. Thus we go, expanding, building, spending, rush- ing, and crushing, until another great crisis, like that of 1817-1820, or 1837-1840, shall be over us. “Give me the control of the currency of a country,” eaid a British statesman, ‘* and I don’t care who is King. I will govern the country as I wish.”” Who controls the currency of the United States? Not the general government, not the State governments, not Wall street, not the banks. Who controls it, then? Tom, Dick and Harry—every fellow who chooses to organize a bank on the new patented free banking plan. In spite of all the gold coming from California, our imports are far outstripping the source of paying for the balances of trade; and the country, in a few years, must prepare to look out for a commercial revulsion, which will throw into the shade all preceding ones in the history of com- merce. | Tue New York Crystan Patace.—The mana- | gers of the New York Crystal Palace are going forward with their scheme in earnest.

LoLA MONTES AND HER MIES.—From one of Kossuth’s penny organs—the flunky organ—we re- | publish elsewhere a very smart letter written by | Lola Montes, in reply to some of the slanders in the same newspaper against her character. It is written with all her ferte, and smacks much of her style and spirit. Kossuth’s flunkies must be hard driven for illus- | trations and poorly supplied with clearness of ideas, when it is necessary to rake up the scandal of the lowest journalism in Paris, against a defenceless artiste and friendless woman, in order to point its arguments, or elevate its style. If there is any- thing mean, venal, or more cowardly thana monkey in breeches, it is the exhibition of one pretending to be a man, assailing a woman, under any circum- stances, or under any provocation. Whatever Lola Montes may be, her male slanderers are utterly beneath contempt, and only deserve to be trotted through Broadway in the carts of the dirt collectors, and sold for dog’s meat out of town. Warring ror tHe Ecuo.—Our cotemporaries of this city are all dumb concerning the native Ame- rican platform of Gen.

The magistrate, however, decides that as the papers, upon their face, purport that they were written in this city, and the intention to defraud originated in this city, there! oi that the forged papers were executed before Hamilton left this State. he is, therefore, ported to our laws, and must be held to await an exam! ¥ A Sawage Father —A brute of a man, named William Lyons, was arrested, yesterday, by officer Collins, on a of beating his son, asmall boy of eleven yours of age. in abrutal manner.

It appears from the steady improvement going on in prices for public secusities in this country and in Burope, as though capitalists generally did not participate in those apprehensions which some financial writers have anticipated relative to the rapid increase in the supply of gold. Consols have advanced to a premium of one percent. United States Sixes sell readily at = premium of twenty per cent; and, in fact. stocks of all kinds are moving up rapidly, and perhops permanently. This, however, depends u on so mavy contingencies, that in- less than twelve months the entire complexion of things may change, and we may find ourselves upon the eve of one of those revulsions, or convulsions, that will far ex- ceed in magnitude anything of the kind ever before ex- perienced It is the impression of muny that the great Panacea for all evils that may from time to time afflict the financial or commercial.ciusses. is a plentiful supply of gold and fllver. ‘This is very true, and very well, 80 far as it goes; hutit probably will not go fur enough, At all events, that is the greatest danger we have to guard against, If public and private credit—if financial and commercial operations of all kinds—would keep within proper limits, and increase no faster than the addition to our supply of precious metals would justify, the basia would continue sound. and our progress would be healthy and permanent; but we fear that such will not be the case, and that the result will be far different than the existing state of affairs would warrant us in predicting. In times past we have not been able to check the expansion of credits in season to pre- vent disastrous reactions, and the impetus has al- ready become so great that we have little hopes of doing so now. Itis characteristic of our people to go far be- yond their depths, in all speculations and~ mercantile transactions, and we have no idea that the present period will be an exception to the general rule. Up to this time, we have kept in advance of (he means of payment, and it is only the prospect of large supplies of gold that sus- tains public confidence. Destroy that belief. and the foundations of credit would at once disappear, Up t: this time, the expansion of credit has been to a great ex- tent artificial. The banks, with very little more specie on band than they had three years since, have extended? their credits more than ove hundred millions of dollars; incorporated companies of all kinds, have largely in- creased their indebtedness; States. cities, counties, towns, villages, have put bonds upon the market to an enormous amount; individuals have easily obtained credit to an unlimited extent, and every facility for carrying on any speculation, or avy legitimate enterprise, has been put into active requisition, The movement is daily gain- ing strength; and every week will add to it, Fora time there may not be a greater differenee between the sause and the effect than exists at this moment; but when it commences widening—when it becomes necessary to resort to means of a more artificial chorscler to sustain the huge structure built upon a paper foundation—we may look for results similar in charactor to those which have marked similar movements, but ten-fold more intense and disastrous. ‘The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port today, amounted to $100,544 83, payments $87,405 54—balance, $4,154 889 ( The amount of tolls collected « Hlinois and Michi- gan Canal. from the openining of navigation to the 7th of July, 1852, was $73,012 33, ‘The Edgeworth Land Company, of Massachusetts, have at last made a report.
