(Prom the Jamaica Despiich of Feb. 16.] The important question of the snnexation of the land of Cuba to the United States of America has late been occupying a considerable share of public tention in America. The melancholy fate of Lopes id his companions seemed for a time to have check- ithe impetuosity of that spirit of adventure which one time animated the minds of Americans; but s time rolls on, and the memories of Lopes and his libusters wore out of the popular mind, there were emamiogetters equally rash and inconsiderate to roject fresh sallies upon the island, with a view, as ey said, to the liberation of the slaves, and the an- ‘fation of the colony to the model republic. We, the time of the contemplated invasion, denounced e undertaking in very plain terms, because we ex- rienced no difficulty in seeing our way clear rough the mists and clouds of popular delusion. We uld not for a moment believe that a band of inex- ced and undisciplined men could successfully themselves to regularly trained and well dis- troops, inasmuch as the invaders were bad- armed, badly accoutred, and supplied with scanty visions. Besides, the expedition was of a pi ical nature; it was concocted and carried out a “motley up of men of all nations jough the scheme was originally projected America, from whence the vessels ‘sailed the inflammable crew. ‘The United States jvernment did not openly sanction the hostile move- nt, and, therefore, it was not a national expedi- " igh inthe main prosecuted by Américan izens. But although the government did not give invaders the seal of their approbation, hos- vessels were permitted to leave the shores of erica amid the shoutings and hurras of the popu- , and without any attempta being made to pre- it them. No doubt this was one of those elements liberty of which our American friends vaunt so ich, but which we are happy we are not permitted enjoy under the constitution of Great Britain. The ver, of the ill-advised aud rash attempt ht the people of Cuba trom their propriety, re- aa we were confident it would—the invaders re routed on all sides, and those who were not n by the merciless espadas of the Spanish soldiers, to Aee for succor into the mountain fastnesses of | island, where for days together they subsisted on spontaneous productions of the earth. From this reat numbers of them were hunted by the soldiers; ers suffered the most crue! deaths, and many more 'e torn to pieces by the savage bloodhounds. The ) of their young leader is well known; and as this | terminated, so must all others got up in ha wild and inconsistent manner—whether the ve of attack be Cuba or any other island. uch 24 we are desirous that the Cuban slave ld be liberated, and be made free to do and say .e pleases, we could never be a party to his libe- jon under such circumstances. Slavery is in ita 7 essence opposed to all institutions of benevo- pe and humanity, and, consequently, ali men ‘ing the slightest pretensions to these heaven- hn principles, must hate and abhor, with all his ht, the murderous system. But there are certain ge called treaties, and as good men and loyal sub- we are forthe strict compliance with all con- pns in which the public iaith and the national br are involved. We, therefore, could never agree the rights of the Spanish nation, as secured to in by solomn treaties, should be by any means in- :d, and we considered the imprudent attack of | eg. a great infringement of those rights. But while Te disposed to respect treaties, we are desirous other nations should be equally conscientious, if they refaxe to be so, why then they onght to | pade (o understand that treaties were not made ‘gored of being violated. Though we do think that any body of desperadoes would stified in encroaching on any slave State to free | slaves, (which it is manifest they could never sed in doing.) yet we maintain that where treaties /ntered into their atipulations oughttobe complied . Thus, as has been seen in referenceto the slave } and England, that country paid upwards of ,000 to Spain, and rome £400,000 or £500,000 to | gal, on the expresd conttitions of their suppress Ti he slave trade, au yet we have seen what little bas been given-to. ‘these bonds...

Loss or Proverry—Faesurrs ON THR, WILL A- werre.—The upper Willamette river and its tributa- ries. have never been known to be «s high as they have been fur the last week, agd the loss of property has undoubtedly been very great. We have been al- | most entirely cut off from communication with any part of the upper country. ¥ At Oregon City several buildings have been washed away, and it is reported that two saw mills | and one flouring mill bave also been destroyed. Linn City has also sustained considerable injury b ! the destruction of several buildings. We have noticed, for several days, timber, roofs of houses, and other | evidences of destruction, floating our city, At this place, the only damage the flood has done thus fur is to the wharves. Coffin’s, Norton's, and Flan- der’s wharves have all sustained considerable dam- age—the extent, however, cannot be ascertained until the water falls. The upper portion of Coffin's wharf has floated away, and is lodged against Nor- ton’s wharf, just below. The loss to the owners must be considerable, and the inconvenience to the public very great. This uxusual high water is mainly attributable to the sudden melting of the late snow, and aided to a considerable extent by the rain, which has, with but } little interruption, continued to fall for about ten days.— Times. The steamer J. P. Flint, which was sank last fall on the Columbia river, has been raised and taken to Vancouver, where she will be put in running order. It is reported that the loss of stock during the recent storms is not so great as was apprehended, although many of the immigrant cattle and horses died in consequence of their former weakness. Frozen T0 Deatn.—We learn from Gen. Palmer, of Dayton, that a man by the name of Gates, late from Iowa, was frozen to death near Dayton, Yambill county, a few days since. He leaves a wife and children.— Oregonian. Tue Recent FLoop.—The river has fallen several feetsince our last, and the amount of damage is not 80 great as was apprehended on the Lower Willa- mette. We hear that it has been very heavy on the Upper Willamette and its tributaries. Gen. Palmer's mill, at Dayton, on the Yamhill river, has been car- ried away, and several bridges, among them the one at Detects have sustained serious damage. At Oregon City only one saw mill was entirely destroyed, but the flumes, railways, bridges, &c., leading to the flouring mills, were either carried away or materially damaged. Several small dwelling houses were swept away and others injured. Linn City also sustained considerable loss buildings, &c., the extent of which we have not been able tolearn. The wharves at this city have all been mere or less injured, but will soon be repaired,as the foundations have suc- cessfully resisted the flood.— Statesman. Tne Steamer Lor Wurtcoms.—We learn that the owners of this steamer are now busily engaged, with a large force, in making preparations for getting her from her coarenne position, with a fair prospect of success, It is said the injury sustained by her is not very extensive, and that the machinery is unin- jured.— Times. The commercial interests of Oregon, it is aaid, suf- fers materially, particularly at this season of the year, for the want o! a steamtug that could go to sea and bring in vessels at once. Had there been such a yessel on the Columbia the barks J. Merithew and Mindora, with their valuable cargoes, would not have been lost. Both these vessels had crossed the bar, but could not proceed up the river on account of the current, MARRIED, On Jan. 4, near Oregon City, by Rev. N. Doane, Mr. Wa.

Alwost the entire colony then embarked in their flotilla, and set sail for Papeete. One must go back to ancient times to find a parallel for the scenes which are now passing before our eyes. Heaven itself appeurs to favor the generous spirit that aciuates this people. The cle threatening for many days past, have lett ta of ovr mountains—a resplendent sun sheds upon land and upon the sea its most bril- liant rays. The coral reefs glitter in the sun, like f pearls and diamonds. Each tribe n turn with its small fleet, swarming with women and children, crowned with flowers, accompanied by a multitude of rowers and impromp- tu architects. Tustraments of music enliven the march, and ring out upon the breeze, in which wave numberless trate and the flowing robes of the girls of Ta- iti. The first who landed were the sons of Hitiaa, from a district remote, it is true, but impatient to show that they have sbandoned their late errors, into which they were drawn by their missionaries. Fanane rules them—Fanaue, the nephew of the loyal Paraita, and worthy of the confidence the Gov- ernor reposes in him. Almost at the same time arrived the people of Tiarei and Mahacna—those two districts in which the roads are so well kept, and which obey—the first, Manuva, and the second, the female chieftain Roura. Ariipaea brought the next day the contingent of Pare and Arue. Afterwards came the men of Puna- via, their chieftainess at their head. With head erect and sparkling eye, a white wand of authority in her hand, she led ‘her clan to the sound of tlic kettie drums, like a grand priestess of Cybele conducting a choir of Corybantes. Faaa followed, headed by the chieftainess, Atiau. Then appeared Ori, the son of Tati, seated upon his immense raft, which was drawn along by the re- nowned rowers of Papenoo, swimming in order, like the ancient Tritons. Haapape and its chief Taririf, bound indissolubly to France by the remembrance of Fautana, closed the march. us were assembled all the materials and the workmen of the first honse.

Let the capi- talist collect here timber, and the expensive motals necessary for the construction of ships—lot the mer- chant fill his store with goods of use to travellers—let the co!onist cover his garden with fresh vegetables, so much prized by sailors after a long vo; let the skilful workman devote hia art to the vessels which come here to repair.

The reassembling of the Cortes to-day in Madrid, owing to the circumstances which attended its disao- lution, will invest the proceedings of the forthcoming eeselon of the Spanish legislatwe with more than or- dinary interest. The progress of affairs in that coun- try, has of late engrossed the attention of the people of the United States more than they have dono for many years past; and this is owing, not so much to any interest they possess intrinsically, a4 to the bear- ing they may have on our own domestic policy. It would be tedious to enter into a review of Spanish diplomacy since the eventful period of Queen Chris- tina’s reign, or the landing of British troops in the Peninsula to interfere with the affairs of government; but a brief statement of the actual position of politi- cal pfirties in that country cannot be devoid of inter- est. Nor will it be necessary to mark the changes which have taken place in tho personnel of the seve- ral administrations which have been formed under the reigns of Queen Isabella and her predecessor, for even an enumeration of their names would serve to recall the memory of Spanish intrigue and Machiaval- ism, rather than the manifestation of any sincere de- sire to promote the welfare of the country. Things, however, have taken a turn lately, and in the estab- lishment of a liberal party, in opposition to the views of M. Bravo Murillo, the late President of the Coun- cil, there is hope that the friends of progress and re- form will force the government to make certain inno- vations on its old established policy, which cannot i be highly beneficial to the subjects of Queen Isa- a . Amongst the different projects of political reform which the cabinet of Madrid has already promul- gated, so that the aple might express their opinioas cn them previous je assembling of the next Par- liament, may be mentioned the following: the or- nization of the Senate, the election of deputies, he internal regulation of the legislative bodies, the rights of persons and of property, public order, and the titles of the nobility of therealm. When we con- sider the hitherto arbit rule of the Spanish mo- narch, any approach towards securing the rightsand liberties of the people cannot but be hailed by every lover of treedom as a step taken in the right direo- tion, for, with the sad experience we have had of the tyrannous character of the government in Fiske pos: sessions near us, we would fain hope the reform would extend to the colonies as well as to the me- tropolitan State. e last session of the legislature was of short du- ration. We have already what were the causes which led to the dissolution of the Chambers. The contest arose as soon as they opened, on the nomina- tion of a President of the Cortes—the nominee of the Spanish Ministry was M. Tejada, and that of all the opposition re-united was M. Martinez de la Rosa, who was elected. On the following day, one of the depu- ties had hardly time to pronounce the first word of a sort of accusation against the meer when M. Bravo Murillo rose and read a decree an- nouncing the dissolution of the Chambers. The people were seconde called upon to proceed to the election of deputies, who were to assemble on the first of March. In the mean- timo, the government has published its contemplated mode of procedure, which embraces all the reforms we haye mentioned. Speculative inquiry has been awakened as to the course the coheece will adopt on the reopening of the Cortes. Will they support the government in its attempt to introduce these new elements in the poles constitution of Spain, and will they be satis- ied with that which many of thom consider to be really no substantial reform, but rather an en- forcement of the hereditary abuses of the monarchy? Of one thing we are certain, the more moderate members of the opposition will not hesitate to affix their signatures to any change in the law which en- sures the rights of persons and of property. May not this concession of the Spanish government have arisen from the state of public feeling in this coun- try, and the representations of its press on the cruel- ties and enormities that have been perpetrated in Cuba? If so, out of evil good has come, and thanks may be due, after all, to those fillibusters, who havo been the means of saving some unfortunate wretch from the misery of Spanish galleys or the torture of Spanish dungeons. ‘Whatever course the opposition may adopt, the proceedings of the Cortes will be looked for with anxiety; it is, however, to be regretted that the state of political parties in Spain is not what it was fifteon years ago, and that the friends of reform and pro- gress cannot look for that support from the people which sustained them in the more trying periods of their history. Amongst the members of the party may also be found some of the inost devoted adhe- rents of the Queen, who supported her throne whon dangers and vicissitudes sarronndcd it; but, probably, ere the present Asia the dispute has been settled and all parties reconciled. What we have, however, most to hope for is, that from the necessities of her goverament she iM be inclined to look more favorably on the efforts of American diplomacy to release her hold on her trans- atlantic ions in America. For somo time past she has incurred an immense expenditure for railroads, and other pans improvements, s0 much so that cerious apprel hensions were entertained of a financial crisis. Government put a stop to any fur- ther grants for public aegis) and M. Reinoso, the Minister of Public Works, was forced to resign. Thus, we may find in her necessities what we failed to procure from her generosity, and she may be here- after more willing to listen to proposals for an aliena- tion of her domain. She seems loath to part with the “Gem of the Antilles;” but there may after all be some intrinsic virtue in American dollars which will remove all the scruples she has yet manifested. Time alone can unravel the intrigues of Spanish diplomacy, or test the oupidity of the goverument. ¢ shall see. United States Circult Court. Before Hon. Judge Betts. THE HENRY CLAY STEAMBOAT CALAMITY. Fen, 28---The United States vs. Thomas Collyer and six others—The jurors being called, the Judge said that this day had been set down specially for the trial of the persons charged with the Henry Clay steamboat calamity. He, the Judge, would not be able to sit to hear any business in the circuit ex- cept criminal trials; they could not have the services of Judge Hail this month, and Juage Nelson will not be able to attend until April. He, Judge Letts, would be occupied the remainder of the term in the District Court, Mr. J. Prescott Hall, U. 8. District Attorney, said that he understood an supplication was to be made to postpone the trial; and he did not, therefore, subpona witnesses for the prosecution, as he did not think it necessary to put the government to the expense of their attendance. Mr. Chas. fF. Betts, as counsel for Mr. Collyer, said that he intended to move, on behalf of his client, for a separete trial, and for a trial before a full bench. sae Betts— Aro they all included in one indict ment? Mr. Mull—Yes. They are seven in number. Mr. Collyer, the owner, and six officers of the boat. Mr. Collyer is charged with acting in command at the time of the accident. Mr. McMahon, on behalf of Captain Tallman and the other officers, read affidaviis setting forth the absence of material witnesses and applying for a post- ponement of the case. The District Attorney thought sufficient grounds had been shown for the application, and he did not desire to oppose the motion. fe cause was then postponed until the April rm. . THE REINDEER CALAMITY, The District Attorney then said, that the ey, hay- ing disagreed in the case of Capt. John W. Farnham, ed with the Reindeer calamity, and he, the District Attorney, having done all he could to pro- mote the ends of public justice, in prosecuting for a conviction before the court and jary, did not deem it a ee to place the acc again on trial; he would, therefore, enter a nolle B hepacte against Capt.

Supreme Coart. ARGUMENT OF EX-OHIS¥ JUBTIOK JONES ON BAHALP OF TUK QRANTERES. Before Judges Edwafds, Morris and Strong. Fre. 23—Jolm Miliaw and others vs. Jacob ers. It seems to me, therefore, that that argument, if it is to have any force, proves too much. But this is a great Shosonehfere, thronged with business, with car- riages of all descriptions, destined to commercial opment and in which the dwelling houses have almost ontirely disappeared, and what remains are fast leaving it. How does that interfere with the use of the railroad? Is @ railroad, or will it be, of less inconvenience to the business operations of those who occupy dwelling houses upon Broadway, or stores upon Broadway, than the omnibuses? Will it fill up that street, or occupy it in the tenth part as much as this crowd of omnibuses, which is daily in- creasing, and necessarily does, and necessarily must increase? But again, this question of nuisance, so far as I understand it, as an injunction is concerned, must depend upon facts that exist. A nuisance must exist before court,will undertake to enjoin, or there must be auch proof of its actual existence, or actual expectancy and nec existence, as will justify this Court'to say, beyond all question, and without all doubt, this operation, if allowed to be carried out, must, and will produce a nuisance. You cannot restrain a useful improvement, or a useful use or occupation of the street, upon the mere specula- tive ground that it may become a nuisance. Lot it be remembered, that upon the subject of the use and convenience of railroads there is but one opinion prevaling throughout the community; and | venture say, even with the parties themselyes. that aside from their immediate present feeling upon the subject and su; frre iuterest in this question, they would not hesitate to join in the general and aval sentiment of all, that railroads are of gre i convenience, and thet sconer or later they mu place, and pervade almost every part of this metro- pou If we are to maintain our standing, and keep he two parts of the city together, we must have railroads. This great public measure, then—this great public improvement—is it to be supp d--is it to be stopped in the very commencement, or rather not ¢ ed to be com , nor the experi- ment tried, wise it may, peradventure, become a nuisance? 1 apprehend that the Court will never carry its jurisdiction in respect to the injunction for nuisance to that extent; suflice it to say, upon that ground, that if this railroad should become a nuisance, it will be at once suppres and that not only by the power and influence of the parties who are now opposing it, not only by the arm of the State, but by the corporation itself. The corporation, I say, will unite in putting it down. They will be compelled to do so by the popular voice of the c’ty, if, in point of fact, it should be found to produce the cousequences of a nuisance, eithor public or private. That some inconvenience, tempoturily, may be sustained by these gentlemen, as they aver, in the construction of this railroad, is probable. We cannot build a railroad in an hour. ‘hey say it will occupy four months, Upon our side it is repre- sented that it may occupy about two; but whatever time necessarily is required to build a railroad, that is an inconvenience, which, upon the strength of the authority I have shown to the Court, all parties are bound to submit to. It is an inconvenience that cannot stand for a moment in the way of the public accommodation. SECOND DAY.—PEB. 24. If the Court please, unwilling to trespass or in- fringe upon the time of the counsel who is to reply, I shall avoid all questions which I had in consideration, and which I should, if time had permitted, have added to what I bave already said, and confine myself tothe conclusion made by the opposite party, which is: that the resolution in nami ing the grantees, was an executive act, or, if a law, was improvident, unreason- able, palpably injurious, a breach of trust and a fraud, on the ground that it gave to Jacob Sharp and his associates a privilege, for a trifling consideration, with a right to charge five centsa passenger, whon others had offered, and were ready to make the un- dertaking, and offering therefor one million of dollars, and to run a carriage at three cents a passenger. In answer to the first part of these objections we say, that the resolution is not the leas a law trom nami: the parties to whom the permission is given; nor in any sense becomes thereby a contract; that the State Legislature are in the constant habit of passing laws conferring rights, or giving privileges: to persons named in the acta, aud that these have always been held equally laws with the acts of that Legislature which concern a greater number of persons, or aro for more general objects; that every act of the Legis- lature creating a corporation necessarily names the corporatora, the persons to be bonnd by it, (and the books are full of acts of that description;) aud ia the city Jegish.tion, the instances of the Harlem Railway and Hindson River Railway, and those of the Sixth, Fighth, and Third avenues, are all of the same cha racter, and in every one of them the'personstp whoin the permission is given are named in the resolutjons. We cannot believe, nor for a moment entertain the dea, that this Court will hold this resolution to be void upon that ground. To the residue of the charge, ihat the resolution is unreasonable and improvident, that it is a breach of trust and a fraud, we an- swer, that these were matters for the consideration of the Common Council, and that they have decided upon them in good faith, and according to their best judgment, and that that decision ought to be conclu- tive. It isnot denied, nor in any manner contro- verted, that this company, to whom the ission is given, honestly means, and certainly will, if permit- ed, construct the railroad, and carry passengers at five cents, and that this is the lowest rate at which any of the existing companies have offered to exer cise the power of carrying passengers. We trust that this great improvement will not be suspended upon that ground; but to repel the insinuation—for no direct charge is made—of corruption in obtaining the passage of the resolution, in the first place, the Mayor, Alderman, and Assistant Aldermen, have de- nied, in a deposition which is before this Court, and in the stron; manner negative the idea that the corporation have been offered or received, or are to receive, any compensation, or have any interest, di- rectly or indirectly, or have received ‘any gratuity, any money, income, or otherwise, for their act in the assage of this resolution. And, if the Court please, let it be remembered that the two Mogrds of Common Council were almost unanimous, each of them, in pass- ing the resolution. They had it ‘for inonths before them. A committee of the Board of Aldermen fully investigated the merits of the application. They heard the opposers to it at length, and they then, finally, came to the conclusion, and, in thei report to the Common Council, unanimously re mended its adoption. That report is now he Court, and showa the reasis upon which miittce acted; and upon tLe tinal pusong i Iution of the forty Aldermen and Assistants, which the Common Council consists, thirty voted in fay the grant. What high vidence could this Court desire of the sincerity of (he Common Council in their belief and conviction of the utility of the road, and for the imperious call of the public interest for its establishment ? Now, in the conditions an- nexed to the r: care and caution to obviate ali possible objections to the location and the operation of the road, and to | nember of y wlution, they have taken the greatest | render it the most commodious and useful to those | who use it, and the least ticonveniont to others. What ground is there, then, & fore this Court for any imputation of improvideace, fyaud, or corruption? Higher and more advantageons offers were made for it by others, it is said; but of the wood faith of these offers, and their comparative valne to the city and the public, the Common Council were to judge. Can this Court say, as they have decided upon it, that they have acted from impure motives, or that they have erred in their judgment? offers were made, and the oe they came, we submit, were well ¢ the sincerity and bona fides of them rusptoious, and that the subsequent avowals of several of them have tended to confirm those suspicions. It was not until every effort and every enorgy had been exerted and exhausted, and until it was ascertain- ed that the committee would report im favor of the resolution, that the first offer was made to the Com- mon Council in opposition. These offers then came from whence? iy, from the opposition—from those who, up to that time, had been strenuous in opposing the measure as being injurious to the city, impracticable, and worse than the system of omni- busee—in fact, a nuisance. It was from this source that these offers came in. By a spirit of hostility they were made in,a device to Kill the project. Could these offers, then, be deemed such as ought to re- trom) which ceive any serious consideration? But assume that they were made in on faith, ought they to have been accepted? Ought they to have been allowed to displace aud supersede the first application? In the fs piace; the sums offered for +} rchase of the permission could not be accepted. That permission ‘was not the private Property of the corporation, as a vate co! tion, which they sell, grant, lease, or giveaway. It was a power in trust, held for the benefit of the public, which authorized and empowered them to Lets the jion to whomsoever they believed would so use it as best to promote the interests of the public. If they had no r, they had right to make the grant in sucha orm and in such a manner as would. preclude or re- strain their successors or themselves from recalling or revoking it whenever they pleased, and whenever they saw that the public interests required that it should be revoked. They took the opinion of the counsel which the public had ned them. upon that point, and that counsel advised them that they had no right to accept any douceur, any considera- tion, for a grant which should be binding upon the ublic. And besides, if the Court please, if they had en at liberty to dispose of this permission at pub- lic sale, and to give it to tae highest bidder—to those who would offer the best terms in money ond rates of fare—bad they not reason to believe, and must we not presume that they did helieve and conclude, that the offer first made was, in trath and in point of fact, the best? I leave the examination of all the de- fails of thia question which my associate connsel has prevented, for the consideration of the Court, who will no doubt give the subject full examination. I say, if tho Cont plonse, that the great ghjeck ‘The tine when these | lated torender | ibtio pur) of this improvement of a railway in The great estan) the avenue of the oif 4 ing to the business part of the town, and that to render that object effectual and ofiicient it was in- dispensably necessary, for the accommodation of all | parts of the city, that there shonid be in connection with the main trunk transveree and oral | conveyances at suitable distances from Broadwiy | ~the’ main trunk to the river upon each side.

MONEY MARKET. Mowpay, Feb, 28. >» M. ‘The stock market opened this morning very dull, | and became more depressed towards the close. Most of the fancies were freely offered, but purchasers were rather shy, and operated cautiously. The shorts do more towards sustaining the market than any other class, The bulk of the demand comes from the bears, who are compelled to buy for delivery on maturing contracts. At the first board, Erie bonds, 1871, ad- | vanced | per cent; Canton Company, 1; Reading | Railroad, §; Norwich and Worcester, 4; Sixth Ayoane Railroad, 3. Portsmouth declined 4; Cumberland and Erie were sold toa moderate ex: tent. New Creek Coal and Parker Vein were pret- ty well sustained. The market, on the whole, was weak and feverish, and the indications are decidedly bearish. There appears to be no disposition to take hold of any stock for the purpose of inflating its mar- ket value. There are no cornering combinations going on, no cliques forming for speculation in some particular fancy, not the most remote probability of any movement being made calculated to raise pul» lic confidence in the securities now onthe market, or to give them gréater activity, or a more ex- tended distribution. At the second board Nicaragua Transit advanced j per cent; Norwich and Worcester, |: Montgomery Zinc, §; but the transactions were limited, and there appears to be no strength in the slight upward | movement. | ‘Phe annexed statement exhibits the rec»ipts and disbursementa in the office of the As¢fatant Vreasuror | of this port during the month of February, 1853 :- Asoerast Treasurer's Orrice—Rroert avo Diinnee MANTS, FERRI, Vebcunry Jab, 1868, bi R nCs.. + 88,475,721 38 Yustoina..... tent fee...

The North Carolina Copper Company will sell at | anction to-morrow—Tuesday, the let of March—at 124 o'clock, at the Merchants’ Exchange, one hun- | dred tons of copper pyrites, of about thirty per cent in richness.

Ifthe product continues at this rate—and there is no reson in the world why it should not— | the dividends of the company must be enormous. | To the business of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road, much of the present improvement in real estate | has resuited, and, shonld sufficient shipping enter- spring up, keeping pace with the supplies of Western produce brought over the road, the city of | Baltimore cannot fail $o become one of the greatest commercial depots in the United States. There are, | however, very serious complaints agains’ the man- agement of the road since it has reached Wheel- ing. The trains run irregularly, and sucl are the | embarrassments through the pressure of freight from x¢ Ohio, that the coal trade from Cumberland, here- tofore profitable, haa become almost abandoned, | giving placo to more remunerative transportation. Ithas heen romored that the railroad company intend raising the rate of tolls on the ooal business ; but this is not probable, as such an instance of bad faith would involve the company in the very difi- culty from which they now desire to oscape. They would then be compelled to give to the coal trade a preference, very much to the embarrasament of their more profitable and more valnable freight from the West. The coal business brings with it but little of general interest to the mercantile classes of Baltimore, while the trade in tobacco, flour and grain of all sorts passing over the road, extends as, general influence through the whole commanity. There is also ano- ther reason why any increase. of the charge for the transportation. of coal might prove impolitio. It might tend to produce a partial suspension of the coal business, as, at the present low rate at which Cumberland now sells, the profit is but nominal, The Cumberland coal was never very popular, and has recently met with a competitor for public favor in the Dauphin mines, denominated transition coal, which seems to exclude the former from domestic nses, In Alexandria, where there are thousands of tons of Cumberland coal offered, and without sale, at $3.25, Dauphin is in demand at, $5 25, the result of a gradual improvement in the quality of the latter, an@ in the former of an increased presence of a slaty snbstance—the one burning freely, with but little ashes, the other re- quiring a strong draft, and always leaving a heavy residium. Under thase difficulties, it is easy to per- ceive that the coal trade of the Cumberland district must become restricted, and may be ruined, if any additional impediments should be thrown in its way ‘The falling off has already become very serious, aud, | conse Potomac, }. | “5. business should be very larce, On 2 review of the report of the Cumberland Gog Company, the basis of @ remuneraine business ig estimated on sending to market 1,000 tons per diem; ntly, if theix trade be curtailed to 1,000 toma per week, with a prospect of a further doorease, they will find it impossible to meet their current ox pensea. Within six weeks this company sent from their mines 2,800 tous weekly; during the week end ing Feb.6, 1,2 tons were sent; and, by the last weekly returns, the cou:pany sent but 1,044 tons, being about 150 tona daily. somewhat uncertain whe- ther the cause of this great and rapid falling off ie | to be attributed to the inferlority of the Cumberland coal, the increased rate of miners’ wages, or to the embarrassments of the railroad company connected with the transportation, incident to the through trade. from the Ohio river.
