(OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE. ‘Weer Ponrr, June 1, 1853. ‘The annu:!review 0° the cadets »t the United States Military Academy, by the Board of Examiners, took place ‘this morning. The Board, as you are aware, is appointed by the Secr. tary o° War, and this year it consists of the follow'ng gentlemen :— Bon. Daniel Gcodenow, Me. Henry Tutwtler, Wsq., Ale. Hon. Wm. G. Bates, Mase. Kev Jas. Purviance, Miss. E W Andrews. sq’, Ct. J shua Baker, Msq.. La, HE Davies, Esq,N.Y. Gen. D. Jarvis, Ohio, Francis Hewson, fay ,Pa. Maj. G.T. Ward, Fla. Gl. Joba © Groome ‘Mi Gen. George Temple, Towa, Hon. Kenneth Rayner, NC. H. 5. Baird, Eeq., Wiscon, Maj. AF. Brumby, Ga. O€ these, only Messrs. Goodenow, Davies, Rayner, Brumby, Baker, Jarvis, Temple, and Baird, have yet ar- rived. After the temporary organization of the Board, the academic staff waited upon the Board of Visiters, and were weverally introduced to the members by Col. Lee, the Su- perintendent, By appointment, the academic staff escorted the mem- bers of the board to an inspection of the library, the rooms of the professor of engiveering, the philosophical rooms, the recitation rooms of the mathematical depart- ment, the chemical laboratory and lecture room, the rooms of the professor of drawing, the new barracks oc- cupied by the oadets—which were greatly admired for their neatness and order—the mess ball, the tabi which wotld well compare with some of our hotels, the rooms for instruction in the manufacture of grape, cannister, &c. ‘The corps of cadets were then assembled upon the plain for the review of the Board of Visiters, under the com- mand of Major Garuel, the commandant of the corps. ‘The review was admirable in every respect, and elicited high commendation. ¢ Board were then escorted to the quarters of the superintendent, where the elewsnt hospi-alities of his mansion were dispensed to the members of the Board, the academic staff and the officers of the corps of cadets. To morrow mo: at pipe o’cleck, the examination commences, and will continue each day, Sundays except- ed, until completed, from 9A M tilll P.M. aad from 3P.M.t6P.M. It wil probably last about eighteen dayn. The weather is as cold as Greenland here. There are ‘but few visiters yet, except the friends of the cadets, ‘who are quite numerous; but as scon as the weather ‘Decomes warm. there will be a perfect rush; so that peo- ple who want good rooms will do well to be on the look out im season. ‘The occurrence of so many horrible accidents, both to ‘steamboats and cars, has caused an uausual interest to be felt in the different modes of conveyance, as compared with each other. The Alida, which leaves the foot of Robinson street, at 4 o'clock every afterneon, for West Point, and, returning, touches at Cozzens’, about 9 o'clock every morning, is a very plea:ant bost, sad, I presume. » safe one. bas been supplied with new boilers of a superior quality, ard has put in complete repair throughout.

The fluctuations in Crystal Palace are of the most extraordinary character. It may be in less than a week down to ten or upte fifty. It works » great deal like the thermometer for the past week. Nicaragua Transit was in demand, and slightly improved from the opening. but closed heavy, with a downward tendency. Canton Company looks better.

He ssye:— From my examination of the Ulster mine, made the present week, Iam happy to be able to report the most sati-factory results of the productiveness of the mine, and of the Workiog of the furnaces. Two Scotch hearth furnaces are in working condition, provided with blowing apparatus of the most therough construction. One fur- ace only is used, and this fur two shifts of eight hours each. ‘The production is about three pigs per hour, of seventy: five pounds weight ench. Forty pigs per day is the most actually smelted, though I think this or more may be de pended upon as the men become better accustomed to the work. As fast as the smelters can be increased by nstructing new men, the furnace will be run twenty-four hours, and the other one be put in blast, The actual re. sults, so far, are three thousand pounds of lead per day, worth two bundred dollars. ‘The expenses are two thousand dollars per month, of which about one fifth should be charged to construction Secount. ‘This aecount is now about closed, and all bills paid. From the quantity of ore already mined, its untsual purity, the continued productiveness and’ constant im- provement of the mine, much better results than the above may be confidently relied upon for #long time to come, The steam engine, blowing cylinders and furnaces have worked admirably from the start. It is estimated that at even this moderate rate of pro- duction, the net income would amount to $110,000) which would be equal to twenty per cent on the total capital. The par value of the stock is $5 per share. ‘The Boston and Providence Railroad Company have de- clared s semi-annual dividend of three per cent; the Bergen Plank Rosd Company, five per cent. ‘The annual report of the New York and New Haven Railroad shows that the total earnings of the company for the year ending April 1, were $806,713 19. The eur- rent charges were $580,052 32—paid Harlem road $67,170 06; leaving. with the surplus from last year of $28,382 54,8 dividend of $12,800 on Harlem stock, and interest charged to cost of second track $27,500, a sum of $428,17335 to pay interest, taxes, dividends, and other liabilities. $4€,000 wore paid to the New Haven and Springfield road; $28,679.20 for personal damages; the loss on extension leare is $26 988 80—dedueting which items, there is a surplus of $20,385 75, wherewith to commence the new year. The cost of the road and equipments is now $4 918,601 60, not including the expenditures for property not entirely appropriated to the use of the road, and which cost $554,685 54, making a total expenditure of $4,975,487 14. The capital stock is $3,000,000, the bonds amount to $1,841,000, and sundry loans, accounts, &., to $132,487 14, The passenger trains have run 356,807 miles, freight trains $9,228 miles, gravel and other trains 7,872 milee—making a total of nearly 600,000 miles. The whole number of passengers moved {i the trains by the above service is 966,753. The receiyts.at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port to-day, amounted to $131,176 80; payments, $86,492 38—balance, $6,777,467 45. The amount of duties collected at the Custom House, Philaéelyhia, during the first five months of the present year, was $1,851,051 65, against $1,733,047 48 for the cor responding period in 1852, showing an increase this year of $97,7C4 17, The import trade of Philadelphia does not arsountto much The whole receipts of duties for six mouths hardly amount to one month’s business at the Custom House in this city. The export trade of Phila delpbia is of much greater consequence. ‘The Bostor Jowrnal says that copper shares are pressed for sale at lower prices, especially the new companies, which bave muitiplied rather faster than buyers. Some of the older concerns, however, meet with ready sale, and in one or two instances are quoted at an advance. Copger Falls improved 34, Forest declined 34; Toltec iy quoted at yesterday's prices; Dana, Winthrop, and Shawmut are lower. An assessment of $170 per share has been laid on the shares of the Forest Company, and 60 cents per sbare on the Dana Company. These demands upoo shareholders are necessary to the proper working of the mines, and are only made from time to time, as the expenses accrue, but their effect is temporarily ad- verse upon the stocks arsessed ‘The importations of specie into Boston, during the month of May, amounted +o $17.60, Total since Jan. 1, £¢8,7650, Exports im May, $465 116, Total since Jan. 1, of which $1,079,440 63 was in The annexed statement exhibits the business transact. ed atthe weigh lock in West Troy, during the month ef May, in each of the past three yoars.

The company expect to finish the road through to the Lehigh river in all next year. By what route the road will approash the city has not yet been determined. Parties interested in the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Compeny threaten te resist the action of the Board of Dixectdrs, in the matter of the late dividend in coal, at » price fixed by the company, ou the ground, that, “im their opinion, under present circumstances, the company is under no necessity of askiog of the stockholders aa unvsua! indulgence, and in principle has not the legal right to erforee upon them payment in any thiog else than such money as is a legal tender, and cannot Inwfully comyel them to become purchasers and venders of coal, at inconvenience and toss to trustees and others who have no occasion to use it. That, therefore, they respectfully decline to receive payment in coal, and give notice that the same will be claimed to be received in lawfal money.” ‘A vemonstrance to this effect, we understand, has been rent te the officers of the company. ‘The apnexed statement exhibits the quantity and value of foreign dry goods entered at this port for consumption and for warehousing, showing also the withdrawals from warehouse during the week ending and including Thursday, June 2, 1853:— Movements 1x Fourian Dry Goops.

Large operators are doing little else than preparing for the autumn campaign, while second cliss dealers continue tolerably busy. The local and eountry demand for immediate supplies is moderate, while that from remote Western and Southern merchants for articles adapted to the fall season, is fair and augmenting. Ship- pers are more inclinedjto buy domestic preductions, be- cause of their comparative abundances and temperary cheapness. Still, these, as well as foreign fabrics, are lesa plenty than usual at this time of the year, and all manu- factures are’extraordinarily'drm and buoyant, though the apring’s termination is perhaps less satisfactory than was previously anticipated. Brown sheetings and shirt. ings are in better supply and variety, but being pretty actively sought sfter, they eontinue steady, Leading styles command 8}4c. for Amoskeag; 10340. for Appleton and Atlantic; 84c. fer Boott Mills, and proportionate prices for the goods of other well known companies. Bleached sheetings and shirtings manifest no essen- tial alteration. Ordinary makes sell freely and well, while medium and finer sorts are not so active, though quite as firm. Cottom flannels are atiil im slack request, but stiffly held at 11% a 12% for Amoskeag; 914 a 93c. fer Franklin; 9% @ 103¢¢ for Hamilton; 94 = 103¢¢, for Manchester; 10% a lle. fer Naumkeng; and 103 a 113¢0. for Pepperill.

Drills are more extensively dealt in, at 8e. for browns, 81(c., for bleached, and 93¢c. for bluss. American gisghams are rare and firm, but rather quiet.

Hence, while factors avince less eagerness to sell, purchasers betray an anxiety to obtain stocks early. Many of the principal producers are en- guged upon ordered goods, but a majority of them are comparatively idle, from their indisposition to accept the prices now current, which rome beiieve will fail to cover the expense of getting future products into the market, Blankets ace readity taken at the recent advance in rates, Cassimeres are rather quiet, though old styies are selling ly within our former range.
