The witness then continued—Thi bor, as defined by my predecessoi, to supper, to return if the party plea: jeparture from that was paid for as extra labor; 1 stated the regulation to every clerk; the gsllery kept open of- ten till ten, but the clerks on'y :emained if their services swere required; during the time of the employment of the plaintiff, the regular cleras of the institution were not paid for their extra services; previous to his employment ‘the regular clerks were employer, and paid for ectra ser- vices; it was a general understanding that they should be | paid for extra services; there was nothing but the val understanding; I was once in the employment of the | Seventh Ward Bank, and left it twelve years ago, I have | commenced a suit against the American Art Union for | $5 000. {an objection taken to the question, *For what,” which the judge agreed with, us being likely to prejudice the witness, but as it was not to be followed up by another question, allowed the witness to be examined on that point.) A portion of the cliim in that action is for extra pervices; the resolutions I produced yesterday were re acinded; Ltook a copy of that resolaion last summer, when the plaintiff was agitating this claim, the word “rescinded”? was, I think, writteu across the resolution at that time, a year after the plaintill left the Union; when Temployed Idon’t think I kuew the resolution was rescinded; it may have been, about February 9, 1850, I ‘amay have known of it; the way of paying the clerks had ‘deen changed, I paid them out of my own pocket, to be re- imbureed afterwards; I was in the habit of reading the mi nutes a day or two after the meeting of the comwittee; I sever informed any of the oificers of the institution of the elsim of Haven for extra pay: they knew it themselves; in 1861 I informed the Treasurer ; 1just now recollect the fact; I mentioned the matter for the sake of the young man; the plaintiff understood bookkeeping encugh for the wervice he was employed in; no one requested me to make ® copy of the resolution; during the time I was employed, the clerks were generally id by myself; I think I always paid; but J have known Etantearheh teaieletie were paid ut the treasury; if a clerk called on Col. Warner he got paid; the w Mount bave been thus paid; I remember the Treasurer aekii me, after azen left, to mention to him the liabilities of the institution; he ‘was in the habit every year of asking for such a list ; [ did not mention to Whit Hazen claim; it radesmen’s juired, amd so I always understood ; in the list Igavel did not include elerks’ | ; as fer their regular payments I made out a list, but did not include their claims for extra work; the rea gon I did not give him the extra servicc list was that he lumped them, aad made an estimate of them, in which he was often mistaken. In anawer to Mr Darl ngton, the witness said that in 1861 or 186 2, when I spoke to the Treasurer ab>ut Hazen; I told him the plaintiff was leoking for pay for his servi- ees, and he said he would speak to the President about it; when Mr. Haren was at work on Sundays, I have ob- werved Mr. Cozzens and Mr. Warner being present; I have no interest whatever in this case; the eommittce as con- stituted at the time of Mr. Haze myployment, con- sisted of Mr. Cozzens, (the President), Mr. Coe, 0. H. Russell, Mr. Warner, Mr. Jarvis, Jr, Mr. Kelly, and others,’ making » to'al of 21; when Hazen was working extra ‘time Col. Warner was present, and also Mr. Cozzens, Mr. Russell, Mr. Jurvis, Jr., Mr. Coe; Mr. Be- | medict, was opposed to work on Sundays, but not at pights, and saw him thep; Hazen had conversed with them while he was in their employ; Mr. Jarvis said that he ought to be paid for his services, and he approved of his being there, and that be should be compensated; when I told Col’ Warner of Hazen being employed, he approved of my engaging him; previous to the em- ployment of Hazen I had paid clerks for extra work. Cress examination resumed—When iiazen was em- ployed on extra servioos, in presence of some of the committee, I did not tell them that those wervices were extra; Mr Jarvis aod Mr. Ridmer had said the extra services ought to be pas for, because men ought to be compensated fer being kept from their families; you, Mr. Coe, had made simililar remarks while the services were being per- fommed; It was said in an encouraging way, to keep the plerks a going. William D. Burroughs was then called, and deposed—I ‘was employed in the Art Union in 1849, and to June 1860; Iwas employed by Mr. Monk, who paid me ; I_ performed extra services during that time; (objected to) I was paid for them; Mr. Monk requested m perform those extra services; they consisted of img on Sundays and at nights; Mr. Mook yaa me $2 a day for the Sunday work; I received $75 for the night work, by n eneck from the Treasurer, which I considered very iuadaquate; Mr. Monk handed me the eheck; I presumo the committee fixed the amount, Cross-examined—Mr. Monk said that I should receive compensation for extra services; [ made no charge, for I presumed I would be compensated. Mr. John W. Moore, deposed—I was in the employ of the defendapta in the early part of 1848, and left in July, or August, 1849; Tam cenversent with the duties re- quired in the institution; I have heard » large portion of Mr Monk’s testimony. in my opinion the Sunday work one by Mr. Hazen was worth $4 a day; ( beliove there ‘was an unusual amount «f businews dene in 1849-'50 evening work ought to be paid at the rate of $2; whilo I ‘was employed Iwas paid fer extra work. (Ubjected to and overruled.) Iam not aware of any bill being ven- dered for my extra work; I estimate Sunday work to be worth double per the hour than other days; clerk's work differs materially Mr. Jobn Erhart, de. of the forward- efendants from 1845 ing agent: I rendered extra xervices. is concluded the case for the prosecution; and, on behalf of the defendants, Mr. Fullerton entered into a short argument to prove that no care had beon made out. He contended that the claim was only for extra services, which does not imply any obligation on the part of the Art Union to pay for such services. He was in the regu Jar employ of the association, and had no positive agree: ment tothat effect. Mr. Fullerton then went over the evidence to prove that that proposition could not be up- wet; Mr. Monk had notshown that he bad regular au- thority from Co!. Warner, the Corresponding Secfetary, and therefore the society was not bound to abide by any arrangement he might make. ‘The executive committee had passed a resolution; but it is not xho vn that its reso Jution was confirmed ‘by the general committee — In. deed, {hose resolutions were rescinded; aud Mr Monk know of it at the time of promising his’ nephow, Hazen, eompenrstion for extra services” Mr Fullert n, there fore, contended that the plaintiif shoule be nonsuited ‘The Judge, before giving judgment, satd he would be unwilling to nonsuit until it was shown thet the de fendants were not fully cognizant of Mr. Huzen’s extra pervices. & Mr. Abraham M.

(This answer objec ed to.)

Mr. Coe read the bills which related to the payment for Mr. Hazen's services, aud Mr. Coe noted the fact that the apec es of services was not mentioned Mr. Cosrens continued—I did not know of Mr. Haven z porter and T was in the empl 1849 as collector an | clerk to Mr. Hits, having made ® claim for extra services (since Mr. Monk days; I don’t remember having soon unda, but he might heve been there; I know, poritively, tha on several Sunday evenings Iwas there Mr. Hazen was not.

Before Judge Beebe and Aldermen Boyce and Cornell. CONVICTION OF A LAWYER FOR AN ASSAULT AND BATTERY—A SUMMABY PROCEEDING. Marcu 8—Joseph H. Wagstaff, described in the in- dictment as a counsellor at law, and who since his noto pract y ie ice courts, surrendered to fake his trial for an assault and baitery on Augustus Hitz, in June last. Augustus Hitz, an aged German, sworn—Do} that he lived at Renwick street; last June lived at Desbrogsos street; knew defendant by sight; Wagstaff came to him and asked if his name was Hitz, and demanded from him a trunk; witness told him he had no trunk belonging to him, (defendant,) when the latter took hold of ‘him by the 1; B nan and # woman were with him; they burst open a sleeping reom door; did not know why they came, and had never seen Wagstaff before; the other man seized witness by the collar, and the others thon went into the sleeping room, and broke open the tru: whereupon witness sent for an officer; in the course ol the scuffle Wagstaff tore off some of his hair, a quautity of which he produced, and showed to the jury, and broke-his (defendant's) cane over his arm. F. W. Lambrecht, sworn—In June last lived in Des- brosses street, and knew the last witness and Wagstaff, but never saw the latter except on that occasion; saw him have Hitz down, and hitting his head against the wall; the cane produced by witness was broken over the prosecutor's head; tho cane in question was an oak one, having a crook fancifully carved to represent a dog’s bead. ‘Ihe defendant said he was an officer, und had been sent by the authorities. WeMr. Wagstaff crong examined the witness, with a view to sbow the trunk belonged to s client of his, and that he attended professionally to claim it; but this was stoutly denied, and the prosecutor asserted that Mrs. Groshen, the client, had sold the trunk to him, and that there were some articles in it alleged to have been stolen. The last witness admitted that the defendant had twe scratches. Officer Christopher F. Gaskey, of the Fifth ward, sworn —Was called in and found the door fastened; when he got in, the old man was sitting ina chair, bleeding, and per- fectly powerless; Mr. Wagstaff and Mr. Rice were much excited, and witness could not quell the disturbance. Cross examined—Saw two scratches on Wagatal’s face, and beheve that his finger was cut. Q—Did I represent myself as an officer? A.—No, not to me. (Laughter.) Saw some blood on his shirt, but there were so many talking he could not tell all that was sald; defendant aid tel him of the circumstance of the door being barred. Frederick Rice was then called, and it was stated he had been subpeenaed, but he did not answer, Hlizabeth Groshen was then called, when it appeared that an officer had just arrested her ons charge of lar- ceny, with respect to some things in the trunk in dispute, the warrant having been issued long ago. By direction of the Court, she was placed on the stand, and deposed that she was in eervice, and left some things witn Mr Hite, and when she went for them that Mis. Hitz came out; that she went and dewanded them @ secon’ time, and then went to Mr. Wogstaff’s; wont with him and his and demanded the trunk; when Mr, Wagstall inquired about the trunk, Mr. Hitz got him b the bair of the head; Mr. Wagstal bad a cane in hte hand, which Hitz took’out of bis hand, and struck him with it until it broke. and then took out a knife and was going to stab him; the door waa locked, and they could not yet out. Did they abuse you, tear your bonnet and shawl? A—Yex, his wifo did. “Q—Did I, by word or deed, in any way or shape abuse Hitz, but to demand the trunk? A.— You did not strike him at all. Q—Did you seo my finger cut? A—Yes. Did I not beg and pray for the door d, and ray Kice and I would go out of the win- dow? (Laughter.) A —Yea, you did. me strike him off? one” Beebe—She has stated you did not strike him at all, Defendant—I was not aware that she had sworn that. Mr. Hall—Perhaps he thinks she has sworn rather too strongly, and he wants to qualify it. iene did not take hold at all, but once pushed im away. Cross-examined—Never went by the name of Kohler; had boarded at Hitz’s house two or three months. Q.— Did you ever steal anything there? A.—No, he never had anything to steal. (Laughter.) Q.—Kvor sell any under- clothes there? A.—No. A—No. Re examined—-Had two chairs anda rocking chair thero, and a table and cover. On leaving the stand, witness complained that Mrs. Hits had torn her dress in parsing into court. The Judge remarked that such conduct was very improper. Margaret Dibble was then called, but could throw no light on the transaction. Mr. Wagstaff applied for an attachment against Mr. Riee, whose testimony, he said, was of importance, and who had been subpoenaed; but the Court sald it was too Jate now; and. after wai some time, directed him te proceed with his defence, and they would permit him to put in the witness’ affidavit afterwards. The defendant then addressed the jury, and read a long affidavit of his own, in which he denied any assault, in any shape or form, but so far as was justifiable a: . Hits in any way or shape, Q.—Ever sell a trunk there? | in seif-defence. He complained of the treatment he had received through the long period that this charge had beer pending, and which had not been preferred for acme dave afterwards, He had, by the accidental sickness of his boil, been kept in prixen for four days and refused an "earing, so that he nover heard the evidence till now, and alleged’ he had been arrested and persecuted by thone who should not have done so, and for what reason he did not know. ‘The Assistant District Attorney left the case in the charge of the Court, and Judge Beebe addressed the fol- lowing laconic remarks to the jury:—'‘Gentlemen,”” said he, ‘this is entirely a question of credibility. If you be- Hive the woman that hes been sworn, you will, of course, acquit the defendant; but if you believe the other wit: nesres, you will convict him ” The jury wished to retire, and after an absence of about ten minutes, returned with a verdict of guilty, and the defendant was directed to attend on Saturday next for sentence. HIGHWAY ROBBERY, John Gleeson, Michael Kehoe, and Edward Shea, threo young men, aged respectively ‘twenty-one, twenty-two, and twenty-three years, who described theroselves as shoemakers, were indictea for a Blah way eeppery. on ‘homas Pretty, a seaman, belonging to the ship John Barclay, of Rotterdam, mow in this port, on the night of Sunday, February 13, at the eorner of Carlisle and Wash- ington streets. thomas Pretty, the seaman, who has been, detainod since the occurrence as & witness, and who gave his tex- timony in a very clear and atraightforward manner, ted. in substance, that he was endeavoring to find his way to his ship, having drank no more taan he could carry with decency, on Sundsy night, about month 2x0, when he met the prisoner Gleeson, who asked him to treat, and being joined by the other two prisoners, took him down tea Dutchman's, where they com: pelled him to pay first @ quarter and then a dol- Jar for suvdry rounds of drinks; that on asking for his change, he was struck in the face; that he attempted torun, but was pursued, knocked down and brutally Kicked, while they extracted from his pocket a handkor- chief, a knife, and a German silver box containing a dol lar bill; he thought they were about to throw him in the ip, hed not his cries brought the officers to his aanist- ve, who arrested the two first named. uis evidence was corroborated by officers Lawrence Reily and Valentine Hinton, who, not fipeing, ‘any proper- ty on the prisoners, searched in the direction they had run, and, thrown over the railing, in the snow, they found the knife and box. The prisoner Shea, who was observed lurking about the office, was afterwards arrested by officer McCarty and Pretty immediately identified him as the third man. Hon. F. A. inadge, for tho defence, endeavored to reduce the charge to one of assault and battery; but a witness whom he called failed to negative the evidence for the prosecution. He, however, produced quitea num- ber who gave the boys good characters, as honest, hard- working, peaceable and industrious. ‘The Judge charged briefly on the Jaw of robbery in the first degree, and particularly that character should ‘not have any weight if they believed the direct evidence—it could obly serve in a case of doubt. ‘The jury retired, and were absent for an hour. On their return into court they rendered a verdict of “Guilty,” recommending them to the mercy of the court. Une ju- ryman, the foreman said, was anxious that this recom- mendation should particularly apply to the two others than Gleeson, On the rendition of the verdict, Kehoo’s mother uttered a tremendous yell, and left the court wringing her hands, accompanied by a crowd ot females. ‘The peisoners were remanded for sentence. TRIAL OF A BUPPOSED DOCK THIEF. Daniel inept was indicted for an attempt at grand larceny on board the schooner Star, lying near the foot of Clinton street, East river, The captain Cpa, had been examined de bens esse, and his ceposition was now read, in whieh he stated tha he was aroused from sleep in the night, and observed the prisoner and ancther man by the companion; he gave tho alarm and they ran; a watchman attached to the custom houre, named Bennett, arrested the prisoner; the other escape d. Mr. Bennett corroborated the last witness, and swore poritively he saw him come from the schounor, and that be arye:ted him on his coming to the sidewalk, For the defence, Mr. Jonas B. Phillips called somo wit- neares to show he was @ seaman of good character, and nly returned from New Orleans a few days before. lie further contended, the evidencs as to Montity was insuffi cient; avd also that an actual a'tempt must be shown, and that being on board with intent to steal was not sufficient to constitute the offence. ‘The Court charged that if they believed that the prison: er was on board with the intent to steal, and was inter. rupted in sliding back the companion, the offence would ve complete, ‘the jury, after an absence of more than an hour, stated ould Hot agree, and again retired. No verdict had rendered when our reporter left. ‘aution to Jurors —Great difficulty is being experi- eveed from the nonattendance of jarors, there having been yesterday scarcely enough to furma second jar ‘The Court inflicted fines of $25 cach on saveral of tire defaniiers.

Governor Williams doubted the economy of the proposal, and considered that the vegetables could be bought cheaper than the cost of raising them. A sum, not to exceed $30, was ordered for the purpose of buying seeds. Governor Herrick informed the Board that he intended to make an inspection of all the city prisons Wednesday, in company with the District Attorney, in order to sve if some plan could not be seawess for the better classifi- cation and discipline of prisoners, He would be happy if other Governors would accompany him. ‘The Board then adjourned. Oe ooo FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, MONBY MARKET. Wepnespay, March 9—6 P. M. Compared with yesterday, there has been no im- portant chayge in the tone of the stock market. We notice a little more activity, and a more general dis- position to sell. At the first board to-day Nicaragua Transit advanced j per cent; Cumberland, 4; Long Island, 4; Florence and Keyport, 1; New Creek, §; Harlem, 4; Erie Railroad, §. Delaware and Hudson Railroad declined 1 per cent.; Hudson Railroad, 4; Norwich and Worcester, 1; Montgomery Mining, 3; Morris Canal, 34; New Jersey Zinc, §; Erie Bonds, 1871, 4; Erie Bonds, 1862, 3, At the second board the market caved in again. Florence aud Keyport declined 1 per cent; New Jersey Zinc, 3; Cumber- land, 13; Nicaragua, 1; Erie Railroad, j. Sixth Avenue Railroad fell off ten per cent from the last sales. Several small lots were sold at this depreciation. The already overgrown capital of this company, created without value received, and the probability of another increase, have no doubt satis- fled many holders of stock that it was better to realize. The entire property of this company did notzcost over $200,000, and the present capital is $650,000. Four hundred and fifty thousand dollars have gone into the pockets of the originators, with. out one dollar being given in return. The capitals of all our city railroads are made up on the sa we fraudu- lent system. They have not any guaranteed value over and above their actual cost, as the city has the privilege of taking them at any time, at the actual expenditure made in their construction. It will be seen that the sales of Cumberland to- day were comparatively limited, even at the decline in prices. Where the buyers come from is a myste- ry. Those who are most intimately acquainted with the affhirs of the company are the heaviest and bold est operators for a decline. Recent developements show that the subscriptions to the surplus stock- made several weeks since, have proved altogether deceptive, and that the company have now on hand twenty-six hundred shares on which not one dollar has been paid, and four thousand shares on which only five per cent have been paid. Thus, the assets of the concern fall short on this sixty-six hundred shares about $640,000, which is more than one-third of the entire subscription stock made at seventy-five percent. The total subscription was cighteen hun. dred thousand dollars. There was another turn in the acre ws to-dayon the money market, and the choicest paper was selling at 9a 10 per cent. + A heavy operator in stocks in the street bought $50,000 of sterling exchange at 10 per cent, thirty days’ credit, and sold it at 9 per cent for cash. It strikes us that this is paying pretty well for money. The banks have taken the back track, and we look for a rapid, steady contraction, in their line of discounts. The country banks have taken the alarm, and are drawing down their deposits very rapidly. This isan unfavorable feature. The pre- sent expansion of bank credit is enormous, The quarterly reports of the banks of this State do not give us the most vague idea of their inflation; but we shall get a pretty good idea of its extent by the effect of the contraction. The Hanover Bank is by no means alone in its embarrassmenst. Every bank in Wall street is, to ure their own term, poor. Had the banks the power they possessed. twelve or fifteen years since, a contraction similar to that we are now going througa wove have produced a great many failures. There 1s now so much private capital afloat that the mercan- tile classes can, if they have the right kind of paper, raise money in the streets at some rate, 90 that they are not completely, as heretofore, at the mercy of the managers of banking institutions. Retrenchment is the cry, and it is the only safe cause to pursue. As for fancy stocks, they have had their day. It will be a long time before we shall have another wild excitement in the stock market anything like that we have just emerged’ from.

The notes of the Illinois and Indiana banks on the list of the American Ex- change Bank, are well secured by public stocks, without mortgages. They are, therefore, better than the average of our own State currency, and infinitely safer than the New England. notes, which are now the weakest that we have in general circulation. What harm, then, is the American Exchange Bank doing in trying to reduce the discount on all these notes, to a rate nearly or quite uniform? The recent decision of the Legisiature of Virginia, adverse to the grant of a right of way over the Pan- handle, was made upon considerations which are likely to prove a death blow to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and a vast injury to the prospects of Baltimore city. In discussing the merits of the ap- lication, Mr, Russer, the able and eloquent represen- tative from Wheeling, admitted the fact that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company had no au- thority from the State of Virginia to cross, by bridge or otherwise, over the Ohio river, either at Wheeling or Parkersburg, and used that fact with great force against the application then pending before the House. This being trae—and it was not and is not denied by any friend or opponent of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad—what becomes of Baltimore's connections with the Ohio system of railroads? They will never be made, although they have been pro- Jected, to connect at Wheeling or Parkersburg, un- leas the State of Virginia will grant leave to con- sumumate such connections by bridging the Ohio; and and at this time it would be the greatest folly in the world to expect that such permission will ever be granted by Virginia, to any company who may de- sire it, for the benefit of any city outside of the lim- its of that State. Among the privileges granted by Virginia to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, was that of making 4 road, with one or more tracks, throngh her territory. This grant was made in 1827, and by the terms of it such road waa to be completed in twelve years from the date of the grant. The twelve years have long since expired, and the road, with but one track, has been completed to Cumberland. No sub- sequent legislation in reference tofthe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, authorizes a second track east of Cumberland. All the legislation which has been had since 1840 applies only to part of the road west of Cumberland. This being the case, Baltimore must give up the golden expectations she has been foster- ing, as emanating from the coal trade. Leave to lay a second track, we learn, will never be granted by the State of Virginia to that company, even if, upon inquiry, it shall be ascertained that such fraud and deception were not used in obtaining their privi- leges, as made the grant void. It is generally believed that the inquiry being now made by a committee of the Legislature into the conduct of the railroad company, in obtaining the priviliges granted it, and their observance of the ob- ligations imposed by the laws upon this company, will result in the Legislature directing the Attorney General of the State to bring the matter before the courts for decision, if the railroad company cannot by some act of amnesty prevent the reference of this vital question to a jury for decision. It will not long, we fear, occupy any portion of Virginia soil with the track of its road. The Finance Committee of the Virginia Senate estimate the Treasury receipts for the year ending 30th September, 1853, at $1,517,583 49, and the dis- bureements for the same period at $1,436,733 84. The liabilities of the State amonnt to $9,949,585. We learn from the Pittsburg Despatch that Mr. Bryant P. Tilden, an engincer of Boston, was in that city last week, and offered (on behalf of a Boston company) to grade the Connelsville railroad for a double, and lay a single track, erect all necessary station houses, depots, &c., and furnish twenty loco- motives, fifty passenger, and two hundred freight cars, putting the road in complete working order, for $4,000,000, one-half im cash, the remainder in stock of the company—to be completed by the 4th of July, 1855, The Committee on Banks, in the House branch of the Legislature of Maine, have reported in favor of a partial increase of the banking capital of the State. The report says:— Having had under consideration numerous petitions for pew banks and increase of capital, amounting to about three million dollars, they decided to limit the in- crease to & sum not exceeding sixteen hundred thousand dollars; and, after hearing the petitioners, and carefully scrutinizing their ability and the wants of different seo- tions, have apportioned the increase as follows:— Washington county, $75,000 Kennebec county... $525,000 Ha: "50/000 5 .

Respecting the operations in Cumberland Coal stock, the Pottsville Miners’ Journal has the fol- lowing:— There bas been a perfect rush into the conl regiens for some time, particularly the Cumberland region, for the purpose of speculating in coal lands. Tandy’ are pur- chased up and compantes formed, merely for the purpose of selling the stock. In one instance, we learn, land was purchased in that region for sixty thousand dollars, and stock created to the amount of three millions of dollars. Flaming reports are then published, showing the pros pects of the company, (im many instanoes before a single vein of coal has been opened, ) with a view to swindle the « green ones” out of their money. It was but the other day that the Cumberland Coal and Iron Company put forth a report of about five or six columns of small type in the city papers, the statistics of which are so erro neous and falciged, and the calcalations of expense #0 far below the actual cost, that we would advise every person who wants to invest money not to touch the stock of this company. That itis nothing but a speculative scheme on a gigantic scale, the whole report shows. The Jackson (Misa) Flag of the Union, of the 26th ultimo, says :— The Chancellor of the State of Missirsippi has decided that the State is legally and constitutionally bound for the redemption and payment of these bonds, and so do eres in this caso accordingly. ‘The Attorney General appeals, we understand, to the High Court, where the cause will undergo another argu ment, and no doubt an elaborate and able examination on the part of the court, which, from its composition, it in so fully competent to make.

A fair degree of activity and steadiness porvades every branch of the dry goods business. The ab- sence of far Southern dealers is requited by the numerous attendance of local and proximate job- bers, whose stocks have been greatly reduced, and are now being replenished, ere the active de- mand which usually attends the resumption of canal navigation, sets in. The amount of goods arriving is still ample, but it does not render holders unensy or timid, as they rely upon the later calls of country and city traders to clear their stores, on conditions which are likely to give satisfaction to all parties. Neither has the unrelaxed stringency of the money market any potential influence upon the trade, as those engaged in it are sufficiently well provided with funds to enable them to transact business with the utmost ease and promptness. This fact sup- ports the assertion which we have frequently made, that never before was the traffic in dry goods so discreetly conducted as at present. There is an utter and unobjectiable lack of spe- culative propensities among dealers, who, re- membering the disastrous past, do not buy more than what they deem necessary to meet their legitimate wants, no matter what inducements are held out tothem by imprudent factors, in the shape of cheap commodities and extended accommodations. Let operators adhere to the principles which guide them in their daily movements now, and this season's trade will terminate prosperously and securely, even should the prices which now prevail here induce large consignments of goods from foreign manufac- turers, as those alone are doomed to suffer, if they surcharge ouralready well provisioned market. Only & moderate supply of brown sheetings and shirtings isnowin market. The production of these goods has been very large, and yet leas than the consump- tion, which is still augmenting. Prices are firm and buoyant. Bleached sheetings and shirtings are more freely tendered, and bought at last week's quota- tions. Denims continue brisk and steady at rising rates, The quantity here is rather light and de- creasing. Drills have been in very animated de- mand, partly for home use, but mainly fur shipment, and are now less abundant and quite saleable. Own zs quote them thus — Wid. Pr, Wid. Pr.

Glasgows and Lancas- ters sell freely, at 1lc.; and as both the quality and appearance of Manchesters have been much im- proved, these likewise quickly fetch the same price. Lawns are unchanged. There are a few new styles in market, but they have not attracted dealers’ notice as yet, nor will they do so until the supply which was placed in the hands of jobbers by the early auc- tion sales, shall have been distributed. Nankins are moderately active, at 1lc. for plain, 12c. forstriped, and 18c. for checked and twilled. Osnaburgs were scarce and wanted. Salev of goods on the spot are easily effected at extreme prices, while those ex- pected shortly are bought ahead of delivery, at full rates. Printing cloths are more enquired for, at last week’s quotations, above which some holders claims range. Prints arrive freely, and are sparingly pur- chased, as buyers are reluctant to pay the prices asked by factors, which we annex :— Prices. Allen'smad.,22in.11 a 12 Do. do.

Cotton Goods, pkgs... 1,074 429 Woollens do not seem very active, but they are rather scarce and stiffly held, in view of the in- creasing worth of the raw material, which will here- after seriously interfere with the Sager It is this consideration which leads holders of goods to believe that a8 soon as their fabrics regain dealers’ ES Aal be readily taken at prices above those which can now be obtained for them, and bet- ter proportioned to the cost of their production. In this conviction we cannot avoid ageing for we think that, provided that all things remain as they now are, such an appreciation as the one which fac- tors look forward to is inevitable. We are not igno- rant of the ape ett used to dissipate the opinions of holders. We know that it is imagined by some that the present limitation of operations and amplitude of ieee will entail such an accumulation of stock here as will prove burthen- some to the market, destroying its firmness and buoyancy. Such forebodings would greatly in- fluence us, were we less acquainted with the present condition and prospects of the trade than we happen tobe. But, under existing circumstances, they do not occupy our minds very dong and in order that others may think as little of them as we do, itis only necestary to remind them of what they have already learned and forgotten, viz : that the lightness of present purchases will leave an unsatisfied de- mand, which, when it occurs, will rapidly devour the goods in market, and suksequently exceed the production. In all these remarks we have had in view none other than desirable fabrics, for every dealer understands the comparative worthlessness and unsaleableness of second rte and inferior commodities, just now, when all consumers seek for the very best goods. Plain and fancy cassimeres are sufficiently freely bought to prevent them from becoming more abun- dant, thongh the receipts are fair. Prices are with- out variation. Cloths of desirable styles are in fair request, at full and rising rates. The stock is not large, and not likely to receive many additions ere the season ends. Delaines are in good supply and moderate demand, at unaltered figures. Flannels are searce and quiet, at former quotations. Jeans are sparingly offered and Lerma bot remain firm. Linens are more sought after,’at 20c. and over, having increased in value during the week. Satinets are not very abundant, while continuing in good re- 1853. 645 mest and steady. Tweeds are rare and needed. ‘here is rather more doing in foreign productions. Both country and city jobbers are buying up all the select goods they can procure at current rates. There seems to be lesa inquiry for British than for other Fo Set fabrics, which some say is owing to the a hat our own manufactures come into closer tition with those of great Britain than of the ent. We believe such to be the case, and are glad of it, as such a competition must undoubtedly stimulate our fabricants to iter exertions, in order to attain *hat excellence of quality and finish in their | shapaatin which alone will secure them the ome market. The lighter descriptions of imported ‘oods are attracting more attention, and will daily increase infavor until the seagon is over. German and French dress goods are in very good demand, and thongh arriving freely, they are not increasing in stock. So, likewise, are British dress goods, which, however, are more abundant than other kinds, and therefore leas firm, and less buoyant in price. All descriptions of staple goods are in steady request, and maintain their former valne. The auc- tion rooms are more deneely thronged, as there are offering ® large proportion of the early imports of French commodities, which find ready buyers and realige full prices, {Providence Print Worke— as 3 - 94 010 were pear's ruled dull, and were per 100 Ibs.
