Om Friday night and Saturday morning one of those Gingraceful’ scenes that have made the primary clections im this city notorious all over the Union, took place at ‘Tammany Hall and loss of life was very narrowly escaped. ‘The effray only reeched the length of bloodshed, brulses, and injuries; but had mot the promineat members and leaders of the majority of the Committee consulted their safety in flight, there cam be very little doubt that lives ‘would have been sacrificed on both sides, for some of the Committee were well armed, and in defending themselves would have probably laid low the ringleaders of their assailants. The bone of contention which gave rise to all this vio- lenoe, was the appointment of ward inspectors for the primary elections involving the loss of power to one clique, and the accession of strength to another. It arose out ofa struggle between the barnbarmer section of the Committee, and those who have always acted with them, @m one side, and the hunker section on the other, to jeot being stated, either in the advertised call or the mo- members. A report made 1 speolal Sone 00 ie ee ag tad wtarvardr se il Z : F sce which should have the control of the primary elec- ity of the Gelegnins frome the Bocond, Third Thir- tions.

Henry Ward Beecher (my old schoelma' by the bye) steps out of his pulpit—where we like to hear him preach religion—although he docs it, like thing else, ina queer way—and under- takes to hten people upon a subject entirely out of the line of his profeseion. He used, at school, to talk of going to sea. If he had done so, he would have experience for his foundation, and I am sure he would have been am ornament to our—what does my aristocratic aunt call it ?—oocupation. Well, you have heard all that these gentlemen have to say, and have devoured it with suck avidit: that your Represcatatives in Congress aseomb led, (with the aid of a popularity seeking Commodore amongst them, who, when he was ailoat, differed exceedingly in his then practice from his present theory,) havo succeeded in rendering our public ships refugoe for the mutinous and lazy, in driving from them men who are too good for such company. But now you owe a listening ear to the other side. T have alfuded to the navy, but merely incidentally, as, with your pormiassion, I intend to refer to it againin another letter; but I will confine tho remain- dor of this to the consideration of the genoral char- actor of seamen at the presont time in the merchant service, and their relations to their officera—who are not exactly the tyrants and brutes represented to | you. If are sometimes guilty, it is often your fault, use your feclings aro against | them, and in the administration of your laws you do not es ae Dee thenhane sailor ror paragon o! fering humanity that represente: tobe. The best trait as well as the worst trait in his character is susceptibility to influence, and if you allow more ovil influences than good to sur- round him, reproach yourselves that he has become the Meatiel and dishonorable man that he really is. Thank God, I do not speak so of all. Thore are many exceptions, and noble ones, too; but it is your fault that Iam compelled to speak of them thus as a class. The genoral charactor of sailors is not to be learned from observation oa shore, or by attonding the yeurly glorification moetings of the Seamens’ Friend Society.

There was considera- ble activity im the street and the demand continued brisk throughout. At the first board, Cumberland Coal Compa- ny, declined 1 percent; New Jersey Zino, 34; Long Island, Pennsylvania 5’, 34, Hudson River Railroad advanced % per cent; Reading Railroad, X per cent; Canton Com- pany, %; Phenix Coal Company, X; Florence and Key- port, 34; Dauphin Coal Compaay, 1; Indiana preferred 5's, 4. Nicaragua Transit, ruled at Saturday's prices. Two Atlantic and Pacific Ship Canal shares, were sold at the first board to-day, closing at an advamce. There was amore active demand for meney to-day, but the supply appeared to be fully equal to it; at all evemts there was no change im rates. This may last a few days. There is very little probability of the demand increasing so that any serious stringency in the market will be realized. At this seazon, when the fall trade opens actively, there is usually a better demand for money. Last year, in Au- gust, the money market for a few days was very stringent, but it caused no embarrassment. At the second board prices for some of the leading fan- cies advanced a fraction, and the market closed a little more buoyaat. Cumberland Coal went up 13 per cent ; Phenix Coal Company, %. Erie and Harlem fell off { per cent each. Very few stocks were offered, and holders exhibit no disposition to part with their supplics, feeling confident that the depression is but temporary. The receipts ut the office of the Assistant Treasurer of his port, today, amounted to $125,030; payments $46,508 54—balance, $6,267,864 66, ‘The total value ot foreign exports from Baltimore for he week ending on Thursday, was $119,043 08. The xport of breadstufls for the week comprises 11,581 ‘barrels of flour, 7 018 bushels of wheat, and 5.872 buzh- els of corn meal, ‘Tho engineers are busily engaged in locating the Alle- geny Railroad.

In the southern parts of France the vines are greatly suffering, in consequence of a sort of disease which threatens to annibilate the whole of the coming vintage.” The Mohawk Valley Railroad Company has becn re- organized, and it is in contemplation to build a third track between Utica and Schenectady, on the south side ofthe Mohawk river, if the {same is found expediont, Erastus Corning is at the head of;the new company. The Boston Courier of this morning says :— The abundance of money is producing a favorable effect upon nearly all of the sound dividend paying securitics in the market. Other descriptions are somewhat neglected, partly owing to lost confidence, but mainly to the fact that the believers in them are already well supplied, and are more likely to lighten than to increase the accumu- lation. The usual activity, consequent upon the open- ing of the fall trade, has already manifested itself in the business avenues of the city. Mercantile wants will soon require nearly all the facilities which can be by unemployed capital, aud the apathetic lethargy of the past two months will no doubt be succeeded by that energetic action which imparts life and animation to commercial pursuits.” The annoxed statement exhibits the quantity and value of certain articles, exported from this port during the week ending the 2lst of August, inclusive, distin guishing the destinations and extent of shipments to each place : Commence or tHe Po&r or New Yorx.—Werxry Exrorts.
