EEE THE FREE AND EASY CONVENTION ‘The Mass Meeting at Wieting Hall, Syracuse, oC" [SPECIAL REPORT FOR THE NEW YORK HERALD.] ‘ Sygacusz, Aug. 31—10 P. af. ‘The Free and Easy Democratic Convention, which vwas in session to-day, held a public meeting in ‘Wieting Hall. About a thousand persons were present—a pertion females, and a number of negroes. The meeting was called to order at eight o'clock, and officered as foliows :—President, E. L. Soulé, of Onondaga. Vice Presidents, H. Bosworth, of Onon- -daga; J. Cuyler, of Wayne; J. Roberts, of Niagara; C. H. Sprague, of St. Lawrence, and N. Bronson, of Wyoming. Secretary, A. Pryne, of Madison. Hon. Satuon P. Cuasz, of Ohio, was the first speaker, and pronounced a long phillipic against the Fogitive Slave act. He advanced the old arguments, and said that the act was now virtually dead, be cause it could not be executed. Ten slaves escaped for every one that was taken back. There was no -depreasion in the stock of the underground railroad. The busivess on the road was greater than ever. The act was now only kept up as a symbol of the degradation of the North. Look at the action of the New York delegation in the Baltimore convention. They went pledzed to freedom, and all lost their principles when they crossed the Delaware river, not find them sgain. New York, with her ix delegates, bowed low to Arkansas, with her four delegates, and opened her mouth to prepare herself for the dose which Arkansas had pre- fos for her. The only thing that New York asks r her principles is, ‘that Peter Jones shall be post- master of our village.” Arkatsas agrees to that, and throws in a foreign minister or a couple of con- sulates. The Whig Convention did the same thing, and the only issue presented by either convention 13, that the com acts shall’ be preserved in their integrity. All that we are to do is to make the Fugitive act more stringent. The platforms of the Sus pees gre identical, and I declare it to be im- pe to sustain two great political parties upon the same platform. They agree to support slavery and the question is settled. Many persons, whigs and democrats, mi ppenvesy the candidates and refused to swallow the platform. They are now divided, and it is @ curious fact that the liberals of both par- ties have more affinities for their natural enemies than for the members of their own Baty, and the bunkers of both parties have more affinity for each ther than for the liberals of their own party. ‘The time is approaching when all other issues are to be laid aside, and the question of freedom or slavery is soon to be settled. Ihe question has taken hold of the literature of the country—even the theatres—and for weeks in Ohio I have seen great gatherings. of the people, who came up to hear this question de- bated and would not assemble for any other pur- pose. The hunkers and the slaveholders have joiaed to beat back this tide. itis for you to settle how you will act in this struggle. If Ged be God follow him; but if Baal be God tollow him. (Applause.) ‘The whole world cries out to us in favor of freedom. That wonderful book, the creation ef a woman’s genius, has aroused ali Europe, and the voice of freedom comes from a Kossuth and a Mazzini. The despots of Europe throw it in our teeth that we too are of their kin. Tne District of Columbia still contains slaves, and Congress could abolish it in a moment. Then there is the coast- wise slave trade, which is as illegal as the foreign slave trade, and Congress can abolish the slave trade. Then you abolish the selling the slaves in decrees issued by courts not United States courts. Then you can abolish slavery in the territories, and }, you can repeal the Fugitive Slave act. When you have done these things, you will have said that you will no longer be ruled over by slavery. There are many waiting in the slave States for our influ- ence, and when the time shall come we shall find new advocates for freedom springing up in the heart of slavery. In Ohio we have gone into the work, not to increase our vote, but to elect our can- didates. (Apolause.) We may fail, but we intend to work for victory. We intend to give sixty thou- gand votes for our candidate for Governor. We in- tend to lead in the vanguard of freedom. Ohio has aright to do so. Be up and doing, ye men of New York, and I, in pledging myself to this work, call upon you to pledge yourselves to this cause, and work on and fight on till the great victory shall be achieved. (Cheers and applause.) ‘There were loud cries for Hale, when Hon. Joun P. Hate came forward and was re- ceived with enthusiastic Spode. He proceeded’ to explain the defiaitioa of compromise, which he said was a bargain between two parties where both should give and take a little. Up to 1843 Mr. Hale haa not known there was any dispute between the greut and the little power, the slave power and the ~ free wer, except the government of the territories. The question was an im- portent ore—embracing the government of a terri- tory of eighteen hundred thousand square mules, six times as large as the territory of the old United States. The question was the extension of the slave power. Mr. Ha'e indulged ina highly-colored de- scription cf the difference between the slave and free States. The question was one to be settled by the ple of New York. The State of New York was Segovern went. Washington was the last place to find it. But New York could not be worked up to a point beyond indifference. By the vote which you gave for the compromizes you said that the States which were to be forme? out of territories might come with slaves or without. In fact, you rather tended towards slavery. That's the way New York stands on the record with regard to this question. You tg! ‘up the whole territory to the slave power. Af- this one would have tuought the South would have been satisfied; but no, they demanded more. They said “ ¥ou have given up a jurge slave pasture, and now you must give us a new fugitive slave law.” And you give them one, which is another compro- mise. When you give them trial by jury that will be another compromise. (Laughter.) ‘When they want another comprom'se they want you to give up the habeas corpus act, and that’s another compro- mise. (Applause and laughter.) When they make you and your sons the bloodhounds to catch the slaves, that’s another compromise. What more? Why they make the slave act the test of goodfellow- in State and church—that’s another compromise; New York agrees to it all. The working of the Jaw is plain enough, when you see that the same law which gives up a slave who escapes to New York also protects a horse. A Union which was saved at such expense was hardly worth saving. But, now, here’s the compromise. It is very easy to tell what we we, but what did we take? 1 have often heard ‘question asked but never heard it answered. We took nothing but the everlasting contempt of the friends of freedom for a1 time. . A Voice—We got the Union. came from the slaveholders, ‘ward, not to make a , but to acknowledge the honor dose him by Jond call, He thought that the meeting at Syra- cuse had heard enough. Tred. had drawn tong breaths and sighed deeply at the fall of the free so! pasty of 1848; but while we have such advocates as Hale and Chase there is no fear of the result. (Hear, hear.) And now I will say no more, (cries “Go on,”) for the great poet has told us the su fluity of gilding refined gold or painting the lily. For once I must dissent from the’verdict of the people of Syracuse and take my seat. He did it, and then, athalf-past ten o'clock, the meeting dis- solved. Douglass was probably piqued at being called up so late in the evening. ‘Thus ended the Free Democratic Convention, body whose deliberations have excited but little interest, and if the ‘cause of the slave" is to de- Bend on their exertions he is in a very bad wy ced ° Ame; ican Bible Society. The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Ma- crabs, nagers was held at the Bible House, Astor place, on ‘Thursday, let inet., at half past four oclock. Wm. B. cmeh , Esq., was in the chair, assisted by Fran- cis Hall, Esq. Nine new auxiliaries were recognized, of which two were in Tennessee, four in Missouri, and in Conpecticut, Texas, and Wisconsin, one each. The resignation of Rey. Samuel L. Tuttle, who has been for several years agent and assistant in the Sec- retary’s office, Was presented. It was accepted, and voted that a copy of the Holy Scriptures be present- ed to him. A communication was received from Rt. Rev. Bishop Mellvaine, giving an account of his vi-it with Rev. Dr. Vermilye, as delogate to the British and Foreign Bible Society. Another from the I'rench and Foreign Bible So- cienty, giving a gratifying notice of the Rev. Dr. Vermilye, as delegate to that body from this So- ciety, A letter was read from Dr. Williams, of Canton, giving an account of the progress of the new transla- lion of the Bible in China, Another from Rev. Dr. Bridgeman, at Shanghae, : mre same subject, with some account of the re- ellion. A very interesting letter was read from Hilo, in the Sandwich Islands, containing a libera! donation, aud speaking very encouragingly about the demand tor Portuguese Scriptures. A letter from Gov. Brigham Young, of Utah, ac- knowledging the receipt of a donation of Bibles from this Society, and requesting more. An interesting letter was also read from Constanti- nople in regard to the Bible work in that city, and asking an appropriation for publishing the Armeno- ‘Turkish scriptures. Numerous grants of books were made to the American §. 8. Union; to the 8.8. Union of the Methodist Episcopal Church; to the S. 8. Union of the Reformed Dutch Church; to the Society for Melicrating the Condition of the Jews; to the Amori- can Christian Union Society, and to the Christian Aid Society, and particular grants in various lan- guages for different te of the United States, and to the territory of Utah. A grant of $100 was made to the Associate Re- fermed Church to purchase Arabic scriptures for their mission in Syria, and an appropriation of $5,000 was made for a new edition of the Armeno- Turkish scriptures. The Turf. UNION COURSE, L. Ix—TROTIING. Trrepay, Sept. 1.—Purse and atake, $500, mile honta, best three in five, in harness, §. MoLeughiin named b. m. Lady Moscow... H. Jones named g. g. Vermont ....... Time, 2:35—2:32%4—2:3237. Vermont was the favorite at 100 to 50 previous to the start, until after the first heat, when the mare had the call at thé same rates. Both horses lonked well, con, sidering the fiery ordeal through which they have passed the last two years, the hot iron leaving its marks behind particularly on the mare. Vermont had had very little preparation for the race, his driver fearing te give him much fast work;-but having stood the test so well in this race, it is presumed that he will be put into active training at once, and take a hand at any game that offers. Lady Moscow is herself again. She exhibited at intervals during the race some of the “lightning Licks” that were so much admired by her o'd backers; and it was evident that had she been at all forced the time of the heats would have been less than 2:30. The most surprising feature was, that she never made @ break nor :hip im the race. There is no doubt but that ebe wili be in the “ pocl”’ this. fall, with Flora zene Tucopy, Highland Maid, Mac, and others of the ‘fa » and will make them all, sweat before she is besten, She will trot to wagons noct week with Ver- mont, when a most spirited contest may be anticipated. First Heat.—Vermont won the choice of place. At the first attempt they were started, the gray Teasing round the turn to the quarter pole, with Moscow’s head at his wheel. ‘Time, thirty nive reconds. On the backastretch she let out a link, went up to his head, and carried hin oft his feet.

She kept Vermont behind her, not letting him get clorer than her wheel, reaching the half mile pole ia 1:17.

Vormont trotted very steadily the whole of the way, but he had not foot enough to pat the mare ‘oher speed. Asin the second heat, she let him lay at her wheel, but would not suffer him to approach came home in that way, making the » before, im 2:5234. A trotting match for $100 aside, mile heats, in harness, also came off on Thuraday afternoon, between a chestaut gelding, driven by Mr. Campbell, aud a bay mare, in charge of a gentleman whore name was not given. ‘Mr. Campbell won easily. Ti 206, Theatrical and Musical. Bowery TuxatTRE.—The amusements provided for this evening, at this old and well managed estab- lebment, are of a truly atttactive character, com- prising the oer drama entitled ‘‘The Drunkard,” and the natioral drama of “ Putnam, the Iron Son of °76,” the cast of which will introduce Mr. W. R. Hate—There never was such an absurdity as to wy that the Union ever was in any danger. Clay and ‘ebster could never have met each other and in- quired what the prospects of the Union were with- out laughing in each other’s faces. It was not even @ respectable bugbear. It was not fit to frighten children with. And now we see both the great par- ties mn jf Xe other igsues to crash agitation on this subject. y can’t do it. The battle must come, and it makes no difference to the result where yor and I are in the struggle, but it makes a great deal of difference. And now you occupy a position in the eyes of the Old World that, if you succeed in the acquisition of Cuba, the chains shall not be struck from the limbs of the sluves. How long will you occupy this ition? Are you content that New York tbail siways be the advocate of slavery? Are you satified that your sons and your sons’s sons thall have no higher destiny than to act as blood- houné: to hunt those miserable fugitives who ma; cross your territory, guided by the north star whic! the good God hss ane up ia the heavens for the guidance of the trembling slave seeking for a free country? These are questions must answer. Yeur leaders call Ko Bt Noll conquer preju- dices, repress your impulses, and forget your God. But you will emancipate yourselves from these things; and what is wanting here is, to let one another know how you feel. I know how you feel. I can see it in your eyes, I won't expose 7 personally. (Laughter). But a great many of your frien are in the same predicament. Let every true man know every other true man. Never vote against copvictions again. Or, yourselves through State, and do not be afraid to speak what you feel, and you will be surprised at the result. I want the women of New York to be yt us. If I wanted to regenerate the State I should only care to have “women and children on my side. Methers! think of your daughters, growing up in beauty and ac complishments, to be consigned to such @ horrible fate as the embraces of old honkerism. ((Great langhter and applause.) Mothers, indoctrinate the children with the principles of freedom, and you will have done your duty. Christians—you that profess to follow the footsteps of the Prince of Peace— I want you to weke up, and make the churches no longer a a tei | lace for men whose hands are reeking with the blood and pollution of slavery, It may be that we can do nothing to do away with slavery, dut we can at least enter our protest against it, The Secretary read the following resolntion:— Resolved, That in presenting to the freemen of New ‘York the men who have this day been nominated by the independent democracy, as candidates for the offices to be filed as the comirg e ection in this State, we are ond ia being sti to recernmend them as men embody. ing the gieat principles of fieedoth which our govern qment was estadliched to waintain and perpetnate, and that we bers pledge ourselves to them, wo the cause of Uberty, ead to the God of rations, to leave no honorable queans unemployed to secure their election. Adopted. Dr. Sxopenass, of Maryland, made a short ch, in which he advocated the be of agitation, and hoped that no one wonl be disposed to hang back from the cause for fear of being called a fanatic. A great many people in the border States were frightened in this way, and feared that agitation would put back the cause. The canke was never put back by auch means; the ory Derr, together with his highly trained steed, Ingomar. Broapway THEatRE—The receipts of this eve- ning are to be given for the benefit of the New Or- leans sufferers. Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams, and the entire dramatic company, together with the Chinese Dramatic Company, have volunteered. The bill of entertainment offered comprises the drama of “Uncle Pat’s Cabin,” ‘Chinese Wonderments,” and ‘It’s the Custom of the Country.” Nipio’s Garpen.—Mons. Blondin is to take his benefit this evening at Niblo’s; a very crowded as- semblage may be expected, for the bill advertised is of an excee ingly attractive nature. The commenc- i feature be evolutions on the tight rope; will be followed by the “ Bedouin Arabs,” an the whole will terminate with the pantomime of the “Magic Pills.” Burron’s Taratre.—The comedy styled “ Grist to the Mill,” a new farce called “ A. 8. 8.,” and the amosing piece of ‘ Turn Out,” are the pieces select- ed for the amusement of Burton’s patrons this eve- ning. ‘Such a bighly attractive programme canno fail in filling the establishment to overflowing. NatiowaL Tueatre.—This theatre continues to be crowded every night, to witness the representa tions of the new version of “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin,’ which is now in its eighth week of representation. Tt is to be repeated this evening, with the same ex cellent cast, and we advise those who have not yet seen it, to do so by all means. Watuack’s Tugatre.—This popular house is to be opened for the season on Monday next. During the recess it has undergone a thorough renovation, which must have cost Mr. Wallack several thousan dollars, for as far as magnificence and convenience are concerned, it cannot be excelled. The company comprises among the als, Messrs. Blake, Les- ter, Brougham, Dyott, Thompson, Wolcot, Miss ee Keene, Mrs. Conway, and Mrs. Blake. We derstand that the celebrated comedian, Mr. Thos. Keene, from the Olympic theatre, London, has also been engaged; he must prove a great acquisition. St, Coar.es TneatKe.—The benefit and last ap- pearance of Mrs. Thorne is to take place this even- ing at the St. Charles. The pieces announced are “Michael Earl,” “Widow's Victim,” “Ourang Ou- tang,” and ‘Paddy Miles.” Messrs. Cony, Taylor, Watkins, Goodall and Master Cony have volun teered. American Muskvm.—The amusements for this afternoon and evening, at this very popular establish- ment, consiat of the entertaining performances of the Boone Children, and the comic drama, in three acts, entitled “Morton,” in which the entire strength of the company will appear. Franconr's Hrrroprome.—The programme of equestrianism for this atternoon and evening at the Hippodrome, is unusually attractive, Onntery’s AmenicAN Orera House.—Christy’s Minstrels have provided a well-selected program‘ne for this evening.

Sionon Burrz, whose formances in natural magic and ventriloqnism have always given such decided satisfaction, is to commence his evenings at the Stgyvesant Institute oa Monday next. Patar Qvarre..— A fatal affray occurred at San- dusk, in the town of Freedom, this county, on Satur- day last. Some words passed between a Mr. Ed- ward P. Gage end Nehemiah Barnes about a “ horn- ing scrape,” when son strack Barnes with a large stick or cane, killing him almost instantly. They bad formerly been good friends. Gage iG now in jail awaiting his trial —EU/cottoille (N. ¥.) Repud- lican, Sept. 1. ee FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONKEY MARKK@. Fray, Sept. 2—6 P. M. The market was moderately buoyant this morning, with about the usual activity. Some of the emi! fancies are steadily improving, and finding more permanent rest- ing places. But for the atriagency in the money market, we wight have quite an active movement. The season is nearly upon us, and there is a great probability of its passing away without the usual speculative excitement, At the first board to-day, Canton Company went up per cent; Florence and Keyport *{; New York Centra Railrend 114; Erle Railroad 1; Panama Railroad 3%, Crys tal Palace declined 5 per cent. ; Camberland Coal 3; Parker Vein 34; Nicaragua Transit 34; Haclom 34. Crystal Pulacs is moving downward full as fast ux we anticipated. 1; is now eeilizg at a discount of ten percent. Nicaragua moved up too fast to be permanent. It may react a little, but the tendency upward will soon retura, Parker Vein is in geod hands, and it ia the prevailing opinion that holders will succeed im putting it considerably abov currest prices. Erie Railroad bas doubtless advanced under the probability that a dividend will be made in Oc- tober. It is possible = dividend may bo psid at that time, but it will weaken the company just so much, The party in power have an object in paying a dividend, but it is not for the good of the company. It will be entirely a stock operation {throughout, Paylug @ divideud in October, might put up the market value of the stook, and as that is avery important point, just about this time, the experiment will probably be mada. Not the first cent of a dividend has been earned, and what ever is paid will be 40 much added to the floating debt of the company, It would bs better to provide for the pay- ment of the paper floating about Wali street, bet woon tha brokers aod the banks, with the individual eudorsement of the directors,than to trust to mew issues to keap the debt along. It wantsa new system of flaanciering through- out. Floreace and Keyport will soon be absorbed for per” manent investment. At present prices, if is tae cheapest stock on the list. Two semi-annual dividends at the rate of about fifteen per cent per annum, have already been paid, ‘The great public importance of this improvement is be- coming better understood. We notice a sale today at the regular board, of Great Northern Lead stock, at 2341 buyer ninety days, and of North Carolina Copper stock at 6%, cash. At the Mining Board there were no sales, Hold" ers are firm, and exhibited no anxiety to realize at present prices, The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port to-day, amounted to $130,164 34 ; payments, $172,487 62 ; balance, $9,068,340 94.

The Grocers’ Fire Insurance Company have declared a semi-annual divided of eight per otnt, payable oa the 5th Imet. The Issue of fractional notes by the banks of Rhode Island is prohibited by law after the lat of the preaout month, The circulation of those already issued ia por- mitted until they are carried into the banks for redemp- tion, after which they cannot be re-issued. The Panama Railroad Company have called for the eighth and xinth final instalments of fifteen dollars each, payable on the Ist of October and lit of November. ‘The United States Trust Company have called for an instalment cf twenty five dollars on the 15th inst., anda final investment of the same amount on the 4th of No- vember next. We have received the first report of the Board of Di- rectors of the ‘‘Berdan’s Gold Quartz Machine Manufac- turing Company.’ The company was organized in May last by the appointment of the following gentlemen as diregiprs - President—R. M. Stratton. DLAECTORS. R. B. Coleman, Chauncy Bush, Jonathan Trotter, Joseph L. Lo rd, ‘Wm. Hickok, J. Elaathaa Smith, R. M. Stratton, Treasurer. H. A. V. Post, Secretary. ‘This organization was formed under the general law of the State of New York. The stock of the company is $€00,000, represented by twenty-four thousand shares, the par value of which is $25each. Of the capitsl, $650,000 were paid to the inventor for, his patent. All the capital bas been paid in, excepting the sum of $45,000. The short period which has clapsed since the formation of the company has been maiuly taken up in furnishing evidence of the utility and successful operation of the machines. The manufacturing and sale of the ma- chines—which is now the principal objest the com- pany hes in view—will in future receive its en- tire attention; enough has been done, however, to show not only the want now existing in the mining business for something of this kind, but the ac- tual demand for this article. Prior to the organization of the company « large number of machines were disposed of by the inventor, in the profits ef which this company had no interest; but since its organization, (a period of only about three months,) orders for machines have ‘been received, and a portion of thom delivered, that will neta prefit to the company, when the balance are de- livered ard paid for, of $48,000, less the expenses of the office, which are but a trifling amount. Scientific, experienced, and disinterested gentlemen, have pronounced Berdan’s machine the most perfect thing of the kind yet discovered, and im every experiment made the most sanguine anticipations have been realized, In view of the great importance of this invention in the present all-absorbing business of mining, and in view of what the cempany has alrea¢y accomplished, the fu- ture success of the enterprise may be safely left to the judgment and discrimination of the public. ‘The aunexed statement exhibits the value of the im- ports and exports during the month of August, in each of the past two years:— si Commence oF THE Port or New Yorx—IMports ann }'x- Senet Imports. 1959 1850, 1353, 13,711,421 $16,788,352 Ine, $3,076,931 1,076'588 "667,408 Des.

Attompts have ‘been made to induco the Secretary of the Treasury to de- vise some way to deplete the Sub Tressury, but without success. It is out of his power. He cannot take the drat stop legally. The law is foupinately so striagent that not adollarcan betouched. This specie system has been the salvation of the financial and commercial affairs of the country, and its favorable operation is daily ox- perienced, We are surprised to learn that no decisive action hae been taken, as yet, by the directors of the Phenix Coal Company to recoguise the stock fraudulently issued by its former officers. This, it atrikes us, is an outrage per- petrated by » corporation, which no individual, valuing acharacter for common honesty, would dare te perpe- tuate, aud which will be visited upon the persons com- Posing the direction, as well as upon the company in its corporate capacity. It inflicts a taint which time will not remove. Nor will future success elevate it beyond the reach of the scorn which must follow such a flagrant denial of its most sacred obligations. The policy which bas dictated this course is most suicidal, and we cannot but express our astonishment that ,the many prece- dents which have occcurred should havo established a rule by which the Phonix Coal Company might hava avoided a course so destructive to its character as a re- sponsible and fairly managed institution, ‘The Baltimore Sun, of the Ist inst., cays:— We learn that the efforts which have been made to ne- gotiate a loan for the construction of the double track of the aud Ohio Railroad bore Sttherto proved unsuceésdfal, Of the exactanature of the proceedings ia the matter we are uvapprised.

Our information is fucther, to the ef that overtures have beca made ou the part of some of the coal companies intersated in the successful opera- tion of the road, to transact the loan; but taeir proposi- tions were embarrassed with coaditions whish rendered it impracticable, We aiso understand that in the conse- quent postare of affairs, tho company is coaterapiating an appeal to the city for a further endorsement of its bonds to the estimated vam required wo accomplish the object proposed. ‘The St. Louis Repullicun of the 27th of August givos the annexed account of the rise and progress of lead mining companies in the State of Missouri, The capital- ists who have been pioneers ia this, must renp rich har- veets. The forecight aud enterprise exhibited and the capital employed in their movemonts, entitle them to the greatest reward, and we are glad to learn that it isin a fair way_of being realized. The ‘Potosi Lead Company,” and the “Missouri Lead Company”’ have secured nearly the whole of the mineral tract in Washington county, Missouri, known to be the richest deposits in the Western country, and the most extensive mining operations will be immediately commenced. The Potosi Company have been engaged up to this time in merely opening a portion of their mines, The product per day has average] more than two tons of pig lead. With this fact in view, it will not be difficult to form an estimate of the probable yield wher a larger number of mon are employed and a larger extent of ground worked. Tae Mrssourt Leap Mines, We mentioned a few weeka since that a company eall- ed the ‘Potosi Lead Company,” owne! by Eastern capital- iste, hal been formed in the city of Now York, and had commenced mining operations upon @ more scientific aud extensive scale than the people in this country had been accustomed to seeing. The mines are located near the town of Potosi, in this State, very near to the Si. Louis and Iron Mountain Railroac Although mining operations have scarcely commenced, yet the the yield of lead no far has been more tham suilicient to pay all mi- ning erpenay, The scarcity of veusela at New Orl has prevented the company from making any shipments of lead, till quite recently some thirty thousand pounds weree shipped to Cincinnati, which have probably! reached New York before this time. The balance of the company’s lead, tow at Selma, will bo shipped the same way. So productive bas this mine proven, with an almost certainty of a much greater yield whon fairly developed, that another company, called the Missourl Lead Com- y, has been organized in the city of New York, aad oa a tract of valuable mineral lands adjoia- ing the Potosi Lead Compavy, fer the purpose of boing thoroughly and energetically worked. Some of the New York capitalists who are concerned in these mines have visited them, and are surptised and de- lighted with the prespect before them. In running i the levels for the drainage of the mines we noticed som weeks ago 8 great many ‘‘lodes’’ have deen cut through ortatber “across.” No attempts have yet been made to fellow there further than they are horse by the run- ning of the shaft or level, Cte the luctiveness on this limited scale ia as above stated. feare much gratified with the effect Cpe A agent Of the existeace o immense deposits of lead and other mineral:, there haa never been a doubt on the mind of any one who had seen the country or knew anything of the imperfect mining operations there.

M. ‘The past weck’s movements in dry goods have been quite exterifive. The boldness with which country and local jobbers have operated has imparted great life and vigor to the trade. Nenrly all seasonable imported ar- ticles and most kinds of domestic productions have met with a quick and lucrative market. The supplies have not accumulated much, and as the receipts generally a6 diminishing, there is littly probability of any serious augmentation. Prices have continued very firm, and in afew instances exhibited a rising tenor. In viewo these circumstances, parties entertain strong hopes of a prosperous buisness being carried on throughout the re mainder of the year. We see no reason why their aati- cipations may not be realized. The markets are aovt overburthened with stocks, nor are they apt to be; the wants of the nation are ample and urgent, and must re main so for some time hence; consumers are affiuent and liberal in thelr dealings, aud, in short, there exists every element of success. With these, nothing is required but skill and care upon the part of our merchants to bring the fall traffic toa satisfactory termination, which, wo can readily believe is the object of the majority of tra ders. It is, therefore, not unnatural to calculate upoa the attainment of this derirabie end. Brown sheetings and shirtings are more active at very uniform prices, The demand embraces al! kinds; though being mainly directed towards the lowor and finer sorts. The supply is not heavy, and factors are not so difident. Bieached sheetings and shirtings display considerable animation at previous quotations. There is a fair amount offering, but none really pressing upon the market. Cot- ton flannels attract increased attention at strengthening rates, We quote them thus:— ee ee Amoskeag. brn, A 0 114g Hamilton,bleae’d 27° 10% To do’ Budo 11 Do. extra wd 11% Do, bled, A i0 12 © Manchester, co’d 27 10 To. do.’ BSO 111% Do, bleacd 26 10% Do, ool’.

From other quarters we hava obtained new customers, and man; sugmented their orders. Thus, sh of the lostiaquiry trem one place has been compensated for by an im- proved demand from other parts and the trade, on the whole, may be deemed quite healthy, 3 Wocllep fabrics are yet moré in request, but tandered freely, aud have not visidly altered in value. The pro- duction is still moderate, and the aupply is mersiy sus- tained, Among the current receipts are several lots of goods which ares credit to the manufaeturers, as they will prove a source of profit to the venders and ef pride and satisfaction to the consumers. Blankets are aod firm. The high olaims of factors do not affect the trade much. Cassimeres are doing as well as ever, and though the plain styles are the most popular, fancies are atilim favor. Prices of all kinds are stifly maintsiaed. Cloths are in moderate stock and domand, at fai quotations, Tae low-priced qualities attract the great- evt notice, Doerking sell freely at remunerative rates. Flannels are in better request, and yet otnerwise um- changed, Jeans are pretty active and steady. Li are more abundant, but in fair demand, and.tol firm in prices, A few undesirable lots have been out, at @ slight abatement. There is now s romerkably select assortment in the hands of our principal merchaate. Mouselia de Inines continue brick and buoyant. Tae supply is leas extensive, though the variety is atiilample, if not complete, The best qualities and simplest pat- terns seem to be the most fashionable. This aifords am encouraging indication of our improving taste. Satinete are more inquired for, and at fall prices. We have te report a livelier trade in shawls, wl sre abundant, but firm. Their season is now at hand, and henosfor: they will torm one of the most vigorous departments of the business. ‘weeds are rather scarce and wanted, yet quotations have not varied. Foreign productions manifest continued animation and steadiness. The operations?in contt: articles are very heavy, but natural and healthy, all the characteristics of speculative movements. we notice very little of any other than a legitimate spirit ta the trade, This is owing to the existing discouragements to irregular transactions. Owners have no sup- plies on hand than they will need to sat ir oun- tomera’ orders, and are, therefore, indisposed to sell to strangers. Buyers are well furnished with means, and de not covet heavier stocks than they can immedia' pay for, these bein, axa Pprocurable on the easiest terms. cory Money is not freely by city capitalists, who are xoluctant to scatter their unless on the seuadest securities, Thus, speculators are kept in check, Ag motes tho natu: ogress of the business, whiok ta Ukowire favored by reased and decreasing imports. The advices recently received from Europe, also, exert = very salutary influence upon it, There, at latest dates, every thing betokened rising m! stimulated by & xzesizicted aad yet more expensive action amd aug- mented enquiry. Intelligence of this state of affairs hae créated, as was to be expected, greater confidence om thie of the Atlantic. Hence, we find all kimds of peasoa- goods beld with the utmbst firmness, without eaus- @hy decay of the demand, which is brisk aad io- iv poring for continental and Eaglish maoufactares al ce have never succeeded so well here, as we hope will appear even more distinct at the close of the autumm bea at present. i CITY TRADE REPORT.
