The election returns from Iowa, Missouri, Ar- kansas, and North Carolina, come in very slowly. ‘Those from the latter State are the most important. From North Carolina we have received returns from twenty-five counties, in which Reid, the demo- oratic candidate, has a majority of 4,602, being a gain over his vote of 1848, of 2,100. Forty-six eounties remain to be heard from, which gave, in 1848, a majority for Manly, the then whig candidate for Governor, of 3,357. If the vote in these un- heard from counties should not vary materiglly from that of 1848, it will be seen that Reid Will have a majority of over one thousand votes. In- deed, quoting from an underline of one of our despatches, ‘* Reid is almost certainly elected.” The returns from Iowa do not change the political aspect of that State. The present members to Con- gress are re-elected, namely:— Dis. 1—Lincoln L. Clark, democrat, 2—Berpvhardt Henn, democrat, The probable election of Colonel Benton, in Mis- souri, attracts more than usual attention to the re- sult in that State. According to the latest returns, the following candidates have been chosen to the Thirty-third Congress :— Dis. 1—Thomas il. Benton, democrat, gain. 3—John G Miller, whig. no change. 4—Mordecai Oliver. whig, gain We regret to be informed of the death in Wash- ington, yesterday morning, of the Hon. Robert Ran- toul, Jr., aged about fifty, member of the House of Representatives frem Massachusetts. Although a believer in the heresy that the Fugitive Slave law is unconstitutional, he was, notwithstanding, a man of decided abilities and usefulness, as a general legisla- tor. He has been a conspicuous democratic and free soil polit'cian in Massachusetts—bas held important federal offices in that State ; filled for a short timo, by appointment, succeeding Mr Winthrop, the place vacated by Mr. Webster in the Senate, and now filled by Mr. Sumver. Mr Rantoul went, also, asa delegate to the Baltimore democratic convention, but was ruled out. He was elected to the House by s combination of democrats and free soilers; bat notwithstanding his free soil affiliations, his eminent abilities were fast winning him a commanding posi- tion in that body when he was cut off. He wasa man of fine personal appearance, and of elegant manners and address, a scholar, a gentleman, and a Christian, whatever may have been his errors as a politician. The cholera at Rochester is diminishing very rapidly, only six new cases and three deaths hav- ing been reported to the Board of Health yesterday. This will quiet the fears of many an anxious visiter to the various watering places from that city. We give some additional intelligence, brought by the steamship Pacific, which will be found highly interesting, particularly in relation to the yaoht racis, the elections, and the riots in Ireland. The steamship City of Glasgow has arrived at Philapelpbia, and the telegraph informs us that in going up the river she came in collision with a schooner, by which a young lad was knocked over- board and drowned. The letter of our Boston correspondent contains intelligence which is both important and interest- ing, disclosing the movements of the Webster com- mittee in that city. The schooner Moro, from Bangor, for Bridgeport, was found at sea, waterlogged and abandoned, and was towed into Portsmouth yesterday. The crew, it is supposed, have perished The Homestead Bill—The Land Reformers and the Senate—Another Seward Move- ment. Within the last few weeks the land reformers of this city—the vote: yourself a-farm party—have been holding their meetings, public and private, with a view to some decisive political action in reference to the Homestead bill now pending before the Senate of the United States. The rank and file of this party were, no doubt, influenced in getting up these assemblages with the single idea of using all hono- rable efforts, and of employing all honorable means, to secure the passage of the bill. Among their numbers are many landless democrats, to whom the free gift of one hundred and sixty acres of land in fome one of the rich valleys or prairies of the West, would be a very acceptable thing. Whatever the character of the measure in itself—however iniqui- tous, dangerous, corrupting and destructive in its tendencies—though it offers a bounty to idleness and vagabondiem, while to the industrious and prudent it turns the cold shoulder—notwithstanding all this, it is quite natural that the classes to be be- nefitted by the measure should give it their support. Hence, there is nothing extraordinary in the meet- ings of “the landless” for the purpose of pressing upon the Senate, in a respectful manner, the expe- diency and public policy of passing the bill. Our land reformers, however, do not stop here. Not a bit of it. This land reform movement—like all other movements—however good or bad, or just, or corrupt, or seditious, or absurd—has fallen under the control of artful demagogues, who have been using it with singular adroitness, for the promotion of their velfich schemes, The various cliques and squads of loafing reformers and philosophers, who hang t the skirte of W. H. Seward and his _ abolition, free soil and land reform organs, have goutrived to get theso Homestead meetings into theis hapds, and to give them exactly that direc- tion which will tell, in the election of November, to the disadvantage of Gen Pierce. The organization of secret lodges throughout this State, the pre- ecedings of the so-called Industrial Association, and their adherents in this city, are all a part of the shrewd and cunning game of the wire-workers of Seward and his organs, to draw off the ignorant candidates for free farms from the support of the democratic ticket. On the other hand, the equivo- eal declarations of General Scott in regard to actual settlers, are made to appear as covering the whole ground; and thus, while the land reform whigs are conciliated to the support of the whig ticket, the progressive ograrians of the democracy are to be driven into the arms of the Pittsburg free soil con- vention. Following up this policy, the land reformers, under the instigation of the avowed as well as be secret agents of Seward and Company, have - ——— United States, holding the democratic majority in that body, and through them the democratic party of the country, and their ticket for the Presidency, responsible for the passage or defeat of the Home- stead bill. They must pass the bill, er abide by the consequences. Ata recent “Homestead” meeting in this city, this pronunciamento was issued, taking this direct issue with the democratic members of the Senate; and they make the issue now, because “there are strong reasons"of @ political and party character in favor of the passage of the bill, which will cease to exist after the election of November next.” Such was the expedient of intimidation attempted upon theSenate. It appears, notwithstanding, thus far, utterly to bave failed of its intended effeet; for, if we are correctly informed, the Committee on Pub- | lie Lands have decided adversely, as well upon the Homestead bill, as upon Bennett's Land bill, embo- dying his grand distribution scheme among the States. We apprehend that both these schemes, if they are not directly killed off, like the late batch of railroad stock jobbing bill: in the House, will, at least, be permitted to lie over till next December, at all risks Even if the Senate were disposed to pass them, at their usual rate of progress in legislation it would require three months for the discussion of the Homestead bill alone; and on the 31st of the month they have to wind up the session. What those ‘ strong reasons” are, which now ex- ist, “tof @ political and party character,” but which ‘will cease to exist after November next,” may be readily conjectured. The Presidential election will be settled in November, one way or the other, either in the defeat or succeas of General Scott. The whole object of the demagogues, then, in instigating this experiment upon the Senate, is to trump up this sweeping issuo of land reform in aid of the comprehensive designs of W. H. Seward against the institutions of the South and the unity of the republic. Of course, then, the ‘strong party and political reasons” for passing the free farm project, will ‘ cease to exist” when tho elec- tion is over, whatever the prospect then may be of passing the measure. ‘‘Land to the landless” is mere humbug—mere chaff to catch young goslings. As it begins to be manifest that the bill cannot pass, therefore the political hacks of both the old parties, in this city, are somewhat interested about the consequences. The ‘‘ higher law” party, howevér, appear to have obtained the complete control of the land reform meetings and lodges; and for the benefit of the masses of the poor demo- eracy desirous of the present of a “free farm,” the scheme is to be made a conspicuous feature of the Pittsburg platform. This matter, then, of free farms, together with the question of armed intervention, and all the other progressive reforms and philosophical and so- cial doctrines of the day—seditious, disorganizing, fanatical, spiritual and infidel—will be turned over to the Pittsburg Convention. The Seward wire- workers have been active and cunning in ecntting and shaping the incipient movements of that Con- yention to suit their purposes; but there has also been a little manceuvring on the other side. It has become self-evident that this Pittsburg organiza- tion holds the balance of power in its hands. How it will be exercised is another question. These land reform movements show that Seward and his party understand the importance of the game, and are skilfully playing their cards in respect to the Pitts- burg movement. We shall very soon understand the drift of the battle. Tne Coprish QvEsTIoN—Mr. WensterR Re- TURNED TO WASHINGTON.—We published, in yester- day’s HrraLp, a special despatch from Washing- ton, giving a very warlike aspect to the fishery question. There appears to be no danger of the vessels of war of the two governments coming into collision, as, we doubt not, their instructions are of the most pacific sort on both sides, and especially on our side. Fears, however, are entertained that the Colonial authorities are in earnest, and mean to expel or confiscate all Yankee fishing smacks caught within the forbidden line, at all hazards. Itis quite plausible to suppose that this summary policy can- not long be practiced without some little Yankee resistance and bloodshed, the consequences of which would almost certainly result in a casus belli too exciting tobe resisted. On the other hand, the news from the fishing grounds is of a contradictory character; but as far as we can ascertain, no serious disturbances have occurred, though several Ameri- can vessels are reported az havipg been seized and confiscated. Mr. Webster, at this stage of the business, and on the urgent requisition ef the President—as we have been informed—has been induced to leave Marshfield, and return to join the British minister at Washington. And weare glad of it. Marshfield is a good place for clam chowders, and for fishing; but the seat of government is the spot for the business of diplomacy, whether the subject be the codfish ques- tion or the Tehuantepec treaty. We had our misgiv- ings, from the first, that the experiment of negotiat- ing and rusticating with the British minister, at Marshfield, would not work well. We are sorry, on account of Mr. Webster, that it has failed; but we are glad, on account of our Yankee fishermen. Whatever the state of the case, whatever the in- ducements for peace or reciprocity, or a compro- mise, the American people expect the President and Mr. Webster to sustain the righte—the authenticated and established rights—of our American fishermen, | asa sine gua mon. Mr. Webster left the Astor House yesterday after- noon, at five o’clock, for Washington; anddiplomatic conferences with Mr. Crampton, and cabinet coun- cils, and confidential messages to the Senate, and | the basis of a new convention, may soon be ex- pected to follow. But, in the meantime, hostilities may be precipitated at the fishing grounds. There is no time to be lost. AxotHEen Dope To Dipp.e THe Irisn.—The following appears in the New York Tribune :— Exrnaprrioy Foxp.—The public are respectfully in- | formed that no persons are authorized to receive contri- butions to tue above fund, unless they can present a printed subser'ption liet, with the signature of one of the Collecting Committee—Horace Greeley, Michael Phalon. Jobn McGrath JOMN DONOHUE, This is another Slievegammon dodge to diddle the unfortunate Irish. If the offence be a political one—at has been alleged—why do not these gentle- men apply to it a portion of the fund raised for poli- tical purposes, in connection with Ireland, in 1848, and ever since in the safe keeping of Slievegammon and Co., who, in order to bleed the poor Celtic laborers, chambermaids, and others, to the tune of $40,000, reported in the Zribwne a bloody battle, and a total defeat of the British, at Slievenamon ? The battle never took place; but the money was subscribed and bagged—and that is all we know of it, and prebably all we ever shall know. Do they want $40,000 more 1 We would respectfully suggest that, before they get any more money for Irish poli- tical purposes, they should render some account to their victims of the Slievegammon fund of 1848. The interest, by this time, ought to swell it to something like $50,000. That surely ought te be enough to defend fifty men from the punishment due to their crimes. We perceive that Judge Nelson is ofopinion that all the requirements of the treaty are not complied with, and that this extradition case will have to go before the Supreme Court of the United States for a final decision. But Judge Nelson does not hint that the | evidence is not conclusive as to the guilt of the ac- \ cused. He does not express a doubt about the | merits of the case. It is worthy of remark that the | Most rabid of the demagogues and newspapers who | Want to make political capital out of it, no longer maintain the ground they at first assumed—that Kaine is innocent, and that tho stale story was | concocted against him by the British authorities, | for @ political purpose. They now admit his guilt, | but depend upon mere technical pointe to secure him from offended justice. It remaine to be seen what the Supreme Court of the United States will do in the promiscs. . dupes held there, last Friday, under the denomina- tion of a convention. To such as have not had amy previous knowledge of the blasphe- | mous absurdities practised by these maniacs, the | simple account of their proceedings would appear to be utterly incredible. But we have become s0 | accustomed to these exhibitions latterly, that they have lost the charm of novelty, and are now searcely sufficient to create any interest, or | awaken surprise in the mind. And yet this movement, growing as it is, and spreading its baleful influence around—drawing into its circle | men of learning and ability, from the bench, the bar | and the pulpit—presents itself in such a destructive and demoralizing shape that the question should be | seriously considered—How is such a noxious evil to | be expunged from thecommunity? Two methods | suggest themselves to us, either of which we think | would prove efficacious. The first and principal one, — men who have charge of the spiritual welfare of the community. Why should they not, too, hold a | counter convention, and devise some grand scheme of exorcising the whole legion of evil epirits that seem to | have left the herd of swine, and taken possession of | men and women? The rod of Aaron, when changed | into the serpent, swallowed up all the serpents of the Egyptian magi; and so, a good hearty spirit, | | such as they could evoke, might gobble up all the vagabond spirits from the other world that are play- | ing such pranks with the brains of these mediums and knockers. If the ghost of Cotton Mather | were consulted, it would doubtless prescribe a sove- reign remedy for the malady of these people; but | we question whether his prescription would be in accordance with the requirements of the new code. Judge Edmonds might give us his legal opinion on the matter, fortified by that of Chief Justice Wells, of | Massachusets, who, we are informed, has also be- come aconyert to the doctrines of the knockers. | If the clergy are too negligent or too feartul to undertake this duty, then we think the medical faculty should be entrusted with the matter; and, perbaps, after all, this is the only real way to grap- ple with the evil. The delusionists are sick, bodily as well as mentally, and some gentle medicines might have a desirable effect in restoring them to health. Some of them, we know, are almost be- yond the reach of medical skill, and it would be necessary to place them under restraint. State lunatic asylums, for the express use of the spiritual knockers, are, therefore, badly wanted in this and such other States of the Union as have been made the theatre of their operations ; and in the mean time some temporary structure should be procured for theiraceommodation. One of these modes ought to be tried, to put an end to these exhibitions of de- ranged intellect, which we so often have to record, and which must tend to bring our national character | for practical good sense into something of disrepute. | Will the clergy join in prayer, or must the medicas take the matter in hand? Whatever is to be done, let it be done quickly. Brtrer LATE THAN Naver —We perceive that the Coroner of Westchester county intimates, in a letter to a contemporary, that the reason of his delay in is- suing warrants against the owners and officers of the Henry Clay, after the verdict of the jury--which was equivalent under the statute to a charge of murder— is that “he might be advised by the District At- torney whether he desires the accused to be brought before him or before the County Judge, an officer equally authorized to issue the warrants, of a higher judicial character, and much more competent to take the examinations.” He further adds-that ‘notice of the inquest has been given to the District Attor- by the Coroner, they will certainly be delivered to the proper. officers immediately.” We are very glad to see this explanation, and can only say—‘‘ Better late than never.” Svar Recnreations.—The vast crowds of people who are now travelling about in pursuit of health and recrea- tion, visiting the watering places, mountains, and sca- beaches, are evriching the railroad and steamboat compa- nics, and giving them the best harvest they have ever yet gathered in one season. Whatever route one may take, north, south, or west. within a circuit of five hundred miles, he will be sure to find the cars or boats thronged with summer tourists. That which is most patronized, cwever, is the route, first to Niagara Falls, by the Erie Tailroad, thence to Queenstown, and across Lake Ontario to Toronto; thence down Lake Ontario aud the river Saint Lawrence to Montrealand Quebee, visiting on re- turn the White Mountains, Lebanon Springs, and Sara. toga. This tour embraces some of the grandest and most romantic scenery in the world, and may be made without fatigue, and with leisure to inspect many places ot inte- rest by the way, in the course of a fortnight, and at an expenditure of only some sixty dollars, It is far prefer- able, and better for health, than remaining all the time at the rame place. The hotels at the watering places were never s0 well patronized as they have been and are this season The four large hotels at Nisgara Falls, and the few minor ones, have been hitherto quite full. Saratoga has been and is most uncomfortably crowded, the United States Hotel having even to resort to the expedient of hiring several unoceupied houses in the vicinity, to accommodate its guests. Lebanon Springs has been also very attractive— athing not to be wondered at, as it is most beautifully situated among the mountains, and, besides its pure a1 invigorating air, presents very romantic and picturesque scenery, Newport would have also shared in the general prosperity of the season, but for its untortunate subjection to the imposition of the Maine Liquor law. Now, alas, the spacious salons of its fine hotels are, “like banquet halls, deserted.”’ The lady of Gen. Scott is staying at the Powelton house, Newburg, while her honored lord his returned to Washington with renovated health, from his brief sojourn at Old Point Comfort, Virginia. If summer travel increases next season, in @ like ratio to what it ha. done the present one, there will be business enough for new hotels at each of these resorts. Tue Tuxatnes.—The amusements to be given at the Bowery and Broadway theatres this evening, consist of necromantic feats by Macalister and Prof, Anderson. The French and Spanish dancers, Senorita Soto and Mile. Povgaud, appear at Niblo’s, in a grand divertise- ment. The dramas of “Adrian Gray,” and “Kenneth,” are to be represented at the National. Donizetti's comic opera, styled “The Child of the Regiment,”’ will be per- formed by the French comic opera company, at Castle Garden, together with a ballet divertisement by the sisters Rousset; and the performances at the Museum, Christy's and Wood's Minstrels, consist of negro minstreley, The Performances at Niblo’s. Saturday night, being one of the ballet nights at this delightful place of public entertainment, there was present- ed, to those who had the good fortune to be there, a rich treat, The great feature wos the the Terpsichorean per- formances of Mile Pougaud, who appeared in two dances —one of them being the pas de Griseldi, danced with Mons. Mege, and the second, the popular Spanish pas de deux of La Manola. The performances opened with a one act comedy, by Charles Selby, (well known in England asa smart writer of plays.) entitled “A Day in Paris.” The Hero—Charles ‘Wyndham—is taking a day or two in Paris, and is fol- lowed up by his affanced wife, who takes various Pro- tean dirguises—the part being admirably sustained in each particular by Mrs. John Drew. This leads him into some Indierous situations, She presents herself as a bar- ber, an Englich tiger, (i. ¢. a servant or groom.) a young colored lady, and an officer in the army, and ultimately brings him to a full sense of his position. Mr. John Drew perronates the rervant of Mr. Wyndham, and his per- formance is by no means the least entertaining part of the whole. He is perhaps the best personation of a “ Cock. ney have ever seen on the boards of @ theatre in this city.

Alderman Tiemann moved to reter the report to the Commissioner of Repairs and Supplies, with instruc- tions for him to advertise for estimates for said bell- tower, which was adopted, In our report on Wednesday last. Alderman Denman is represented as having moved to refer the report to the Commissioner of Repairs and Sup- plies, It was Alderman Ticmann, and not Alderman Den- man, who moved the abovereference. Resurpixa or Wastixaton’s Hranquanrers —The building known as Washington’s Headquarters, at the corner of Broad and Pearl streets, which was burned about two months ago, is now being rebuilt. The old walls were £o firm, that, with the exception of a few feet at the top, they are quite strong enough for the new edifice, and are to be used without relaying, Tbe work of restoring the old house is going on very rapidly, and will be completed in « few weeks, Many suppose that this building was actually used by Washington as his headquarters for a considerable period. This is a mistake, It was used by the Commander in-Chief of the American army one night, and. from this circumstance, received its name of Headquarters, &¢. It is, however. one of the relies of old New York, and as such is an interesting object. Peta te nists, cease e On Saturday, an accident of the following nature ocourred on the short line of the Harlem railroad at the junction of Centre and Canal strects :—Mr. Drake. of 114 St. Mark's place, was going up town in one of the small cars, and when opposite Canal street, one of the New Haven cars came down and turned into the depot at Canal st Before the large car was quite out of the way. the driver of the small car started his team.and caused the side of his car to graze the corner of the larger one. Mr. Drake had his arm banging out of a window at the time. and the conse- quence was that it was caught between the two vehicles, and sadly lacerated. He was conveyed to his residence by Mr, J. V. Schermerhorn, the conductor of the small car, who procured the attendance of a physician, and rendered such other assistance as was in his power. Ixraxticipe,—Coroner Ives yesterday held an inquest on the body of a female infant of Mary Falon, found in the privy at No. 209 Mercer street. By the evidence produced before the Coroner, the child was shown to be that of Mary Falon, who was sitting on the back stoop in afeeble state when the child was found. The jury ren- dered the following verdict:—"‘ That the ‘infant came to its death from, injuries recalved by a fall into the privy ‘al or culpable neglect of Mary Falon. its mother.” The Co- roner, on the above verdict being rendered. committed the mother to prison, to await the action of the Grand Jury. Acciwextar Drows1xc.—The Coroner yesterday held an inquest at the corner of Tenth avenue and 155th itreet, on the body of Charles F. Lockwood, a lad tixteem years, who was drowned in the North river, at the foot of 155th street, while bathing. The deccased, not being able to swim. started from the bath house on a door, from which he fell, and was drowned before aid could be obtained. The deceased was the son of Mr. F. H. Lockwood, jeweller, doing business at No. 209 Broadway. Police Intelligence. JUSTICE BOGART AND CAPTAIN CARPENTER— A FLARE-UP IN THE STATION HOUSE. “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,” is an cld adage, and a very true one, too; and so thought Cap- tain Carpenter of the Fifth ward police, when, on Satur- day night. he locked a man up in a cell, refusing to allow Justice Bogart to admit the prisoner to bail. The vic- tim subjected to the edict of the determined captain, was no less a personage than Conklin Titus, a man of some fifty years of age, well known about town by the familiar cognomen of “Old Tite.” Now, Old Tite. it seems, is the proprietor of a public house called the Victoria, situ- ated at No. 58 Leonard street, a few doors only from the police station; surrounded, also, by respectable houses of an attractive character; noisy sometimes, but ge- nerally quiet and peaceable in the cye of those whose duty it is to keep them in check. However, be that as it may, we are now confin@a to the mat- ter of Conklin Titus, and the order of his house—the houses in the vicinity will be a matter of discussion here- after. Well, now to the story: On Friday night of last week, a frolicking party of young men paid the “Victo- ria’ isit, and there remained until one or two o'clock in the morning, drinking and singing political songs, much, as is alleged, to the annoyance of the peaceable persons in that vicinity. The police, in the discharge of their duty, requested more quiet, but only received in reply a volly of abuse; and as the police had no aughority to enter the premises, the singing and carousing was car- ried on, the windows thrown up, and the neighbors still sannoyed. During the day,on Saturday, Dr. Alexander B. Horack, No. 101 Franklin strect, whose dwelling. from the rear looks upon the Victoria porter house, called upon the Captain of Police, and wished to make a complaint against the proprietor of the said house, as his family ‘Were very much annoyed by the constant disturbances created in the raid premises known as the Victoria, His neighbors, likewise, the Rev. Mr. Varren and Mr. Thompron, were also complaining of the nuisance. Ac. cordingly, Dr. Hosack was taken before Justice Stewart, at Jefierson Market Police Court, where the Doctor made the necessary wit. charging that the public honre ealled the Victoria was © disorderly house, and a nuisance to the neighborhood. A war- rant was thereupon issued by the magistrate for the arrest of Conklin Titus—the process placed in the hands of officer Moneypenny to execute, and that evening, between the hours of eight and nine o'clock, “Old Tite,’ as he is commonly called, was taken into custody, conveyed to the station house, and there confined in a cell on the warrant of arrest, No sooner was “Old Tite” in the calaboore, than the news spread among his acquaintances like wild-fire, and a pumber of his friends mustered at the station house, for the purpose of giving the requisite security to release “Old Tite” from *‘ limbo,” but all to no effect, as Captain Carpenter would hear to no one ; “ Old Tite” was in his power, and ‘tight’ he intended he should be, until ‘before Justice Stewart in the morning. The re- served force was then called upon, Justice Bogart was brought to the station house, who commenced judicial investigation, and requested Captain Carpenter to pro- duce Conklin Titus, for the purpose of taking bail. The ‘Captain refused to obey the order, giving asa reason that he held the prisoner on a warrant issued by another magistrate, before whom he should send him in he morning, Justice Bogart, notwithstanding the re- weal to produce the prisoner, went out aud filled » bail bond for the eum of $500, which bond ‘was signed by Joseph Sweet. A written discharge was then given to the captain, and another request made for the ; but the captain declined to produce him, and ‘ Old Tite” was kept in custody all night, and in the morning conveyed before Justice Stewart, who took bail in the sum of $500, and he was discharged from custody. ‘The question now arises whether or not Captain Carpen- ter has made bimeelf liable to an action of fulse impri- sonment, by detaining a man in prison when « magis- trate of equal j tion is ready to admit such person to bail on proper security being given.

Atalanta—(trom New York, but manned by students of Yale)—Uniform blue and white. Oneida—(Harvard)—Uniform red, blue and white. ‘The Atalanta being a four oared racing boat, was with- drawn from competition, it being conceded that the roe would not be a fair one with her to contend against.

At the close of the stock market yesterday. there were unusual indications of an active movement in all the leading fancies. It may bea little early for the usual fall speculations, but the facilities for carrying stocks are 80 great, and the prospect for an advance in prices to some extent eo flattering. that outsiders are desirous of taking hold in time to se the fall benefit of the up- ward movement, With one or two exceptions, the lead- ing railcoad stocks are only moderately inilated. All the small stocks have a wide margin for improvement in market value. and the next season will open under ans- pices as favorable as have been known for years, Hold~ ors of stocks have, therefore, shown no anxiety to sell, and purchasers have been picking up small lots of the greatest favorites, without prematurely exciting the market, so as to have good supplies in hand when the advanee assumes a more decided character, The fluctuations in prices. lately, have been merely tho preliminaries of the upward movement near at hand, ‘The clements of speculation are too abundant, too easily controlled, to permit them to remain quiet, and there is very little doubt but that we are about entering upon a period of certainty in the stock marke! such as has been seldom realized even in this latitude. The prospect is favorable for an active seavon in every department of business, Every interest is apparently prosperous, and as the supply of precious metals Is likely to be, for a long time, equal to almost any expansion of credits, the proba- bility is that our progress will not be interrupted by any of those collapses which heretofore hnye so suddenly ap- peared, ‘This ie a guaranty that the speculation during: the approaching fall will be of a more substantial charac- ter, without thore reactions usually experienced during arieing market. We have this eoason good starting point, Prices, as a general thing. rule low. Outsiders. are not too heavily burdened with unproductive stocks. ‘They have the means to purchase largely, and, if we mis- take not, the dixposition to do eo. This will insure an ao- tive demand, and steadily appreciating prices, Some atooks will of course rire more rapidly and doubtless a greator per cent than others but it would be difficult, at this early day, to make any distinction Stocks postersing the greatest in- trinsic value, would of course be the ss fest as investments; but for the purpose of realizing large profits on the outlay of capital, the most depreciated securities on the market. should be selected. Several of the small. low priced stocks, contain the elements of great productiveness, and ulti- mately must command corresponding prices in tho street, while others are selling at this moment for much more than they are worth and are more likely to depreciate thon appreciate, It, therefere, requires the exercise of a great deal of sound judgment in the selection of stocks, either for permanent investment, or for purpuses of speou
