Affairs in Venezucla. OUR CARACAS CORRESPONDENCE. Canacas, March 17, 1854. Meeting of Congress—Defeat of a Bill Permitting the Re- turn of some of the Eziles to Venezwela—Opinions on the Paez Invasion—Government Measures for Public Im- provements—Ezplanatory Law upon the Claims of Fo- Teigners—General Monagas’ Message to Cougress om the Abolition of Slavery—Freedom given by General Monagas to his own Slaves—Animation of Agriculture. On this occasion I snall confine myself to giving you a brief summary of the most important recent events im | this country. Pho rumors of a new revolution prevented many of the Members from mecting in Congress until last month, | qhen such fears bad somewhat subsided; but they had Boarcely assembled when fresh reports were insidiously Rpread that General Paer and his partisans had been able Zo raise such supplies upon their own credit as would enable them to organize a new invasion, with the view of wverthrowing the actual government of Venezuela. The | Delief this rumor obtained at first, though it is now almost entirely discredited, was sufficient for the prompt defeat of a bill actually under the consideration pf Congress, allowing the President to recall from ban- isbment all or part of the political exiles, Indeed, so Optirely did the feeling of Congress ehange, that it im- mediately voted a resolution empowering the President | to prepare for the defence of the republic by calling part | Of the militia into active service, and by raising the ne- eessary funds for the same. The majority of the peo- | je, far from fearing, rather desire a tresh invasion from jeneral Paes, under the idea—which seems to me the | drue one—that the hostile return of Goneral Paez would ive them the opportunity of possessing themselves of person, not with the intention of sacriticing him, ince it is well known that the liberal party have long Rince abolished the penalty of death for political offences. | The desire to hold Paes in their hands is simply that | Mey may overwhelm him by their clemency, leaving him at complete liberty within the country, where they feel | Bure that from the contempt into which he has fallen he Will be able to raise no more seditions. & This excitement over, the Congress and cabinet have ‘Arected their attention to many important national pro- | ts Rots. ‘The Minister of the Interior, in his budget, has aske! Tor the appropriation of a considerable sum ia aid of the | ‘road from Puerto Cabello to San Felipe. We must Jere remark that the persons interésted im the enter grise do not seem sufficiently aware of the protection ey have received from thé government, as a gentleman m Philadelphia told us last week, though we feel un- Ailing to believe it, that Mr. Sutil, of the firm of 3. Agreda, Jove & Co., (n house engaged in commerce be- between New York and Puerto Cabello, and which has wontracted for the construction of the railroad), is a bit- der opponent of the government of Venezuela, aud a par- @isan of Gen. Pacz. ‘Congress has ander consideration the following bills:— Dne for ry aid to the ruined city of Cumana; one Zor the appropriation of $200,000 to the improvement of warriage reads; one for extending the grant made to Mr. Franklin Gillett, for the steam navigation of the Lake pf Maracaibo; and one for the granting a privilege of 90 | years for the construction of a railroai between Laguay- | xa and Puerto Cabelio- ork that will nearly double Zhe value of that p » by facilitating the | Bransportation of aluable farge | a wuste ¢ half cultivated. | nstant, Congress sanctioned @ law explana- | e rights of foreigners with respect to claims, t which has given rise to great and repeated The government, ax you know, has been pressed | claims for property seized by the rebels in order to warry on the war.

Government has also been ‘pressed by foreigners for indemnification for the loss of | ums they had themselves advanced to the rebels as a naiter of speculation. We will cite some facts to the purpose. In Maracaibo, Mr. Serrano headed the revolution, aided it with funds, ‘nd then claimed indemnification from the government Yor the same. A claim is made for indemnity for horses and cattle furnished to the rebels by Mr. J. | Leon Romero, who headed the disturbances in Baul, rom the estate of Barbasco, (which he was then manag- ing,) under the pretext that the estate belonged to Benor Serga, a foreigner. Two Spaniangs of the name of | ‘Marquez, merchants of Baul, fast Jupe spontaneously | Furnished the rebels with money and all the akms they had in their store, One of these Marqua’s went down zhe river Cojede, in the employment cf the rebels, to 4ake them firearms from Senor Fernando de Apure, and @hey now pretend to insist that the government shail re- ‘pay them that money and the value of those arms, be- Bause they are foreigners. Amongst us there are many strangers who do honor nd assist the country, both by their industry and eapi- tal; but, also, there are not wanting individuals who abuse, for the most reprehensible ends, the privileges'they “njoy asforeigners. For this reason Congress has issued be law to which we refer, and which says the follow- foreigners, t no foreigner shall have the right to claim from the | Fi treasury the value of apy property seized by a fao- This law ia in perfect accordance with the law of na- | Mions, and has already been sanctioned by the treaties Sntered into by Venezuela with Great Britain, Spain, the Dnited States and other countries, since in those treaties it ia stipulated that the citizens or subjects of other | countries shall be cul aried to the laws in the same | manner as the citizens of Veneznela. The laws o: Vene: gzuela do not give her citizens the right of claiming from roment the indemnification of value taken from | em by factions; and, as we have observed, the natives | and foreigners are placed on the same footing in this re- Bpect. | Pinother project has caused the greatest enthusiasm in this capital. On the 10th inst. Gen. Monagas sent a message to Congress urging them to adopt measures for the immediate abolition of slavery, himself setting the example by freeing all his own slaves. Congress received abe proposal with loud acclamations, and on the 4th inst., on the second debate upon the measure, they resolved upon such a method of indemuifying the slave owners that in three years all their claims will be fied. To that purpose has been destined, as a sacred Tund, ten per cent of all municipal revenues, and also the produce of a tax levied upon a national production which is not exported, but has a large domestic con- sumption—the sugar and the distillation of brandy. ‘The slaves who will be freed by this measure are not many. Last year there existed about 11,300, and to-day the number does not amount to more than 10,000, the greater part of them being old. Their average value will | not exceed $200, which gives a total of $2,000,000. In conclusion, I must observe that although ramors of Fevolution have been rife, they are but rumors. The country improves sensibly; all her products continue to increase, especially coffee and sugar; new plantations are commencing to yield their crops; and on the borders of the lake of Vaiencia many steam sugar mills have been erected, which will prove of great benefit to the pro- | winces of Aragua and Carabe The Mysterious Muskets—Arrival of the | rapeshot at New Orleans. | [From the New Orleans Delta, April 11. | By far the most exciting question now before the Ame- rican people, refers to the disposition and whereabouts of | those mysterious muskets, which, it is said, our enter- | ising fellow-citizen, George Law, purchased from the | nited States government. These formidable weapons hhave been on the point of going off times, but have eniformly missed 1 cently, they had become quite a drag i assortment of Mr. George Law’s worldly possessi Once it was quite confidently given out that Kossuth had necured these arma for the redemption of Hungary.

Next, it was quite eonf. dently stated that they had been secured for Cuba. | ‘Then Mazzini, it was rumored, was in treaty for them.

Then it was quite authentically stated that George Sanders, the ol stoker of the European revolutionary engine in London, had achieved a wonderful bargain in passing ‘these weapons off on his brother eonspireter: which allowed Mr. Laws very large profit, and made the | enterprising and intrigaing George quite independent of that $16,000 a year which he hopes fall into the | hands of the best fellow in eriee. modern crasade in favor o! ggainst their.

The court met yesterday morning at ten o'clock, The District Attorney said he should deem it necessary to call another witness who was still absent, after whl he should rest his case. Mr. McKeon said he must insist that the District At- torney should elect, w count in the indictment he wed to rely wu) there being two. ‘The learne el quoted 9th Wendell, 193, 12 Seargeant and Roll, 64, as in point. ss ‘The Court said the subject had been fully examined in the late ease of the De ra. Any I legree of the same crime might be found under a higher charge. The counsel for the defence said the cases were not similar. In this case there were two several counts charging different offences. ‘The Court overruled the applic tion, The examination of witnesses was then proceeded with.

Cross-examined—I did not know that Fenety’s horse fe was adver sale; he did not tell me so; the shely- ing we took down was not intended to be put up again; | my instr a8 were to put up a flush wall behind the counter; portions of the shelving not used were left in the building. James McKenna sworn—Am a grocer; know Matthew O'Rourke; was in my employment in Sept., 1853; , he re- mained nine or ten days with me; had alittle conversation h O’Rourke relative to the fire in Fenety’s store; I ask- ed him how the fire oceurrea; he said there had beon some talk about the sawdust in the boxes, but he said it was customary, and there was not a tea store in the eity that had not the same, and that Fenety knew no more of the | fire than I did; I have heard him say so more than once, Witness was not cross-examined.

Mr. Waldron testified to having examined O'Rourke as to the circumstances of the fire;lasked him when he left that night if he locked the door, to which he replied | ho had, and had carried the keys home with him; I asked him if there was any fire in the store when he left, and | if he had put the lights all out; he said yes; he said he knew nothing of the origin of the fire; his theory was | that it arose from matches accidentally igniting, or from a lighted segar from some one smoking. Mr. Boosie, decorative painter, testified to having been | called upon by Fenety; he wanted Chinese paintings to be put upon the walls; ie said he was in a hurry for it to be | done; | promised to send him a manto do it on Monday | night; he said he wanted something done superior to any- thing in the city; he said he intended to enlarge his store.

DECISON IN ADMIRALTY, Avrit18,— William 0. Pickersgill and others against John G. Williams.—In the month of March, 1850, the respon. dent was the owner of the brig Selma, then lying in this ‘ort, and bound to Sam Franciseo. Wishing to provide er captain with funds, in case he should need them on the voyage, he wrote to the libellants the following let- ter— New York, March 5, 1850. Messrs. W. C. Proxersem & Co.: GENTLEMEN—You will please give me letters to your friends in Rio and Valparaiso, fbr Capt. John J, Dean, of the brig Selma, to enable him to draw drafts on me at one day’s sight, if necessary, on account of said bri which drafts will meet with due honor on presentaiion, and much gblige Your obedient servant, J. @, WILLIAMS. Upon this request the libellants furnished to Capt. Dean a letter of credit upon Messrs, Rostern, Dutton & Co., at Rio, and the brig soon after sailed.” Early in May the arrived at Rio in @ damaged condition. Captain Dean presented his letter of credit and requested that the necessary supplies and repairs should be furnished, which Was done, After the repairs were enced Captain Dean died, never having drawa rafts, The vessel was’ for a time under the charge of the mate, and afterwards a new master, Captain Story, was appointed by the American Con- UL, and approved by Rostern, Dutton & Co. ‘Tho ro: pairs were prosecuted meanwhile, and, when completed, drafts were drawn by Captain Story on the respondent tor the amount, being between seven and eight thousand dollars, which he refused to pay, whereapon this suit was brought. ‘The vessel sailed from Rio in Augast. She terwards put into Valparaiso, in need of farther repairs, where she was sold, with her cargo, by her master, and the avails of such sale, ora portion of them, were sent by him to the respondent, who receiv them, The respondent claims that his letter was merely a special application to authorize Captain Dean, And uo oneelse, toldraw drafte, He also claims that on made an abandonment of her to the underwriters oa the 19th day of July, which abandonment took effect from the time the cause of abandonment existed, and that he was not, therefore, the owner of the brig when the repairs and supplies were furnished, and was not, tlierefore, lia- the insurance company the avails of the sale of the brig received by him. He also claims, that he is not linble to pay the claim, beonuse, on the 30th of August, the then master executed a bottomry obligation for them, by which the original demand was merged. It was not, how- er, under seal, and Was expressly stated to be a @ollateral security. He also claims, that this security was recognized by the parties as a valid bottomry ob- ation by a subsequent agreement dated December | 1860, entered into between the libellants and the owners of the cargo of the brig, the respondent being one of them. This agreement provided that ‘nothing | in it should affect the bottomry obligation, or any rights which the libellants might otherwise have aga net the owners of the vessel, and the respondent sromive) that if the bottomry obligation should not ve a full seourity to the libellanis, he would pay them | the balance that might be due, Held by the Court, that | to some person for her. ; ment is made the promice in the letter of March 5, to accept drafts, was only secondary—the object of the letter being to secure fonds for the necessities of the vessel, and | that whatever repairs and supplies were furnished at Tio to the brig, were to be paid for by the re- | such payment not depending upon tain Led Thpt the supplies were not furnished upon the im- A Riga awibosity oh Uae marion to bind the owaer, Whe: | ‘s drawing drafts as a condition Fcoobaeer. ever he may be, when in a foreign port, but the sonal responsibility and at the special requ ot of the respondent; that it is not, therefore, necessary to in- quire whether, by his al ent, he ceased to be the owner of the brig, although his retaining | the sale of the brig would render that seriously ques- | tionable.

Decree, therefore, for libellants for the amount of repairs and supplies furnished to the brig at Rio, with reference to @ commissioner to ascertain that amount. Superior Court—Special Term. Before Hon. Judge Hoffman. INTERESTING DECISION AS TO A MARRIED WOMAN’S NEXT FRIEND, Arrit 19.—Cynthia Smith, by Edward Smith, her next friend, against James Kearney and McGregor M. Staniels. —tThis suit is brought to recover certain prope’ by the defendant, Staniels, upon an execution issued on a judgment in favor of Kearney, the other defendant, against Edward Smith, the next friend in the complaint. The plaintiff, Cynthia, his wife, claims the property ; and Kaving taken it upon claim abd delivery, the under- taking to the Sheriff has been given and perfected. It is now objected that the husband cannot be a next friend ; that no order appointing him as such has ever been en- tered, and that he is wholly irresponsible. Some uncer- tainty prevails as to the practice on this subject ; and in the late case of Rusher and her husband against ——-, (Supreme Court, April 10, 1854,) Justice Roosevelt sus- tained a bill of foreclosure, brought by husband and wife, of a bond and mortgage given to the wife, (with the bond,) since the aet of 1848, therefore her sole and sepa- rate property. The learned Judge, in order to protect the wife, adopted, as an applicable rule, the practice of ob- taining Ler written consent, upon a private examination, to a disposition of the fund to her husband, or any other person, otherwise to be paid to herself. The learned Judge refers to the practice formerly known in Chancery of taking such an examination before friends of a married woman were taken out of court. The practice of the Court of Chancery on this point was | not fully settled so far as reported cases proved it, until ‘a late period Lord Hardwicke stated the general rule to be that a bill by husband and wife was a bill of the husband, | and the suit was under his control; that where it related to the separate property of the’ wife, it ought to be brought by her prockeinamy. However, there have been cases of such a bill by husband and wife, and the Court has taken care of the wife, and ordered payment (Griffith vs. Hood, 2 Ves. Sen., 450.) It may, however, be stated that the fixed rule of the Court of Chancery in England and in this State has for many years been’ that where the separate estato of the wife is concerned the suit must be by a next friend. If there is a joint interest with the husband, he must be a party, or the suit would be defective, He is, therefore, | vi United States Marshal's Office. SEIZURE OF A VAST QUANTITY OF FORGED BANE PLATES, COUNTERFEIT IMPLEMENTS, AND BILLS ‘T0 THE AMOUNT OF SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS. Apnit 19.—In consequence of the examination made during the investigation of the parties charged before Commissioner Nelson with counterfeiting, two of the Marshal's deputies, Messrs. De Angelis and Horton, have been on the alert, and on Tuesday evening last proceeded to ferret out ali the ramifications of this extensive fraud. Accordingly they visited a house in Lispenard street, from whence, it will be recollected, Brown took the bundle rhich he gave to Bowers. After a rigid search the Deputy Marshals saw a suspicious look: valise in one of the rooms, and on opening it it was foun to contain a large amount of forged plates of several baaks, and oyer $8,000 of counterfeit money in paper and specie. The following is a list of the seizure made by Horton and De Angel On the F: A well exe dollar bills On ers’ and Drovers’ Bank of Somers, Now York, ted etocl plate, and $2,520 in counterfeit five the Manufacturers’ Bank of Birmingham, Conn., $450, in fifties, altered from a Michigan bank, andthe counter: feit pl pie Union Bank of Albany, Now York, $70, in five dollar jeveral bills of three 8.

A very large quantity— terfeit one dollar gold piece ‘One large copper plate, about 18 inches by 12, with various jgnettes of different banks, which could be used im the manufacture of any amount of bills from fives to hundreds. ‘This seizure is not alone important and beneficial to the several banks concerned, but to the community at large, and much credit is due to the Marshal and his deputies for the vigilance they have exercised in detecting such a mass of spurious moneys, which, if cireulated throughout the country, would necessarily involve great evil, and perhaps implicate parties wholly innocent of ‘their origination. jo other prisoners were arrested with this new horde of base money, but the prosecution expect to trace its manufacture to parties already charged.

MONEY MARKET, Weosespay, April 19-6 P. M. The stock market remains unchanged so far as prices are concerned. There was a little more activity in rail- allowed to sue with her, the Court in the result taking | road bonds and bank stocks, and some of the leading fan- care of her interest in tho first fund. But if the estate | cies were in demand; but there is no spirit among spe- ‘was equitably her own, and solely her own, a next friend other than the husband was essential.” (Reeves vs. Dalby, 2 Sand St. 464; Legett vs. Phelps, 7 Simons 239; Simons vs, Harwood, 1 Keene 7; Englind vs. Davis, 1 Beavan 96: Wake vs Taylor, 2 Keen 59; Bowrn va.

Van Schoonoyen, $ Paige 257; Sherman vs. Buckeims, 6 Barbour 414; Hugh vs. Evans, 1 Sand 3. 185,) point to the distinction between a suit for a joint interest and one for a separate estate of the wife. It should be carefully noticed that, if a suit is directly against ahusband, of necessity she must sue by a next friend. The exception in divorce cases was by statute, Cort vs. Cort, 4 Howard 232, and 6 Howard 53, isan instance of this character since the code. Now, the very idea of a separate estate is an estate held by the wife’ in oppoai- tion to @ marital right. ‘Therefore, her position is antagonistic to his as to such property, whatever may be the actual union of views, and acts between them. At any rate no point was more entirely settled before the code. The 114th section, as originally passed, gave rise to several questions, and in 1861 an amendment was adopt- ed presumptively to remove them. It is now provided that when a married woman is a party, her husband must be joined with her; except that where the action Soncerns here separate property she may sus slons; 484 |. niioos, Cumberland with five millions, Parker Veto with that when the action is between herself and her husband she may sue or be sued alone. But where the husband cannot be joined with her, as herein provided, she shall prosecute or defend by her next friend, It must be ob- served that the last clause is unmeaning unless the words, oe d sue alone’? in the above preceding clauses mean simply she is to sue without her husband. Under the grammatical construction of these clauses, there is no case provided where the husband cannot be joined with the wife. The phraseology is simply permissive to suc alone, not prohibitory of uniting with the husband. There is then no sensible construction of the whole to be found except in reading the provision thus:—When a married woman is a party, the husband must be joined in the action, exegpt that if the action concern her se- patato property, the husband eannot be joined with her, ut she must sue by a next friend. And when the action is between herself and her husband, she shall prosecute or defend by her next friend. My conclusion is, that upon clear authority before the code, and upon a true | interpretation of the code, a complaint which relates to the separate property of the wife cannot be filed by her and her husband as plaintiffs, that she must sue by her next friend, and that her husband cannot be such. This result renders it unnecessary to pass upon the other questions. ‘The order will be that the plaintiff, Cynthia Smith, have liberty to amend her complaint, within ten days, by striking out the name of Edward Smith as her next friend, by adding the name of aome other person as such, after being duly appointed by order of the Court, | with liberty, if advised, to make the husband a party plaintiff or defendant. The plaintiffs to pay $10 costs or such amenément not to be allowed. In case no amend- thin the time limited, or no order ob- tain xtending such time, or the ten dollars costs are not paid, the complaint to be dismissed with costs. Supreme Court—Cireult. Before Hon. Judge Mitchell and a Jury. Aprit. 19.—Isaac Moses & Brother against James S. Davis and Philip Kissane.—This action was brought by the plaintiff, who are large dealers in Chinese goods, against the late firm of Da lance due on a sale to them of alarge quantity of Canton | erape shawls. ‘The amount of the sale was about $30,000, for which, as alleged by Mr. H. Hilton, their counsel, the plaintiffs were to receive the notes of Corlies, Hay- dock & Co., at six months. They received notes for all but about $1,000, for which, after deducting a bill of the defendants against the plaintiffs, this suit was brought. It was defended by Mr. Kissane on the ground that it was an individual transaction of Davis, in which he was not concerned. The sale took place ‘in March, 1349, and it appeared that at that time they were settling their af- fairs preparatory to a dissolution, which took place in June, 1849, It appeared in evidence that a bill had been rendered by the plaintiffs to Davis individually, and the blotter of Moses & Brother was produced, in which some entries were against the firm of Davis & Kissane, and some against Davis alone. It was proved, however, by Mr. Macy, of the firm of Corlies, Haydock & Co., that the transaction on their books was in the name of the firm and that they had given their notes and taken receipts from Davis & Kissane. The book-keeper of Moses & Brother also testified that at the time of sale, it was un- derstood that the sale was to the firm, although Davis was the one who transacted the busin The jury amount claimed. United States Circuit Court. Before Hon. Judge Betts. THE ALLEGED CANADA FORGERIES, Apnit.19.—In the Matter of Daniel W. Van Aernam.—In | answer to a writ of habeas corpus issued in this case the | United States Marshal made a return, that he holds the accused by virtue of a warrant of commitment from Geo. W. Morton, Esq., Commissioner. Mr. Charles Edwards appeared as counsel for the claimants, and Mossra. T. Romayne, W. Q. Morton and Wm. Fullerton for Van Aernam. ' Counsel for the defendant moved for a cer- tiorari to direct the Commissioner to produce the minutes of the proceedings had before him. The following is an abstract of the grounds of the prisoner's petition :-— That his counsel strenuously contended before the Commissioner, asa matter of law, that his duties must be confined to the hearing and collection of testimony, and that his report to the President must be merely as | to the evidence of the facta charged, leaving the decision as to the effect of the evidence and the obligation to su render to the discretion and consideration of the Presi- dent. That the Commissioner confined his decision to a single point, and recommended to the Presilent that there was in hi inion ground for the commitment of the petitioner. The decision of the Commissioner was sent on to Washington by the mail of the 12th inst., in the afternoon; it was not communicated to the counsel of the petitioner until the next day; but, in some way, the agents of the British government heard of it. Pe: titioner’s counsel immediately telegraphed to Washing- ton to request that the matter might be examined there, and an answer came the same day to the effect that the President would do so; but shortly afterwards, another came to the effect that the State Department hai already issued the warrant without the President's knowledge. From a letter received from the Secretary of State. it ap- ars that the British officer Presented himeclf at the Jepartment early in the day, with a note from the Lega- ‘ion, requesting that the warrant of extradition might be delivered to the officer. It was delivered accordingly. This was before the itioner’s counsel here had heard the decision of thi missioner. The petitioner is a citizen, a resident and a native of the State of New York, and believes that the evidence before the Commissioner does not bring bim within the treaty. The petition concludes by praying that a certiorari may issue to Geo. W. Morton, the Commissioner, commanding him to cer- tify the proceedings and evidence before him. Superior Court—General Term. Aprn. 15.—Frederick G. Schulz, Sen., ve. Caroline Bleidovn and William Radde.—This wasan application to vacate an order of arrest of the defendant Wiliam Radde, ranted on the 8th day of April inst., on the affidavit of x Ruckgaber, the attorney in fact of the plaintiff. The ‘ound of the arrest was, that Mr. Radde had converted is property into cash, and was about departing secretly to Europe for the purpose of defraudipg his creditors. The motion was ed before the gerftral term of the Court, by consent of the counsel for the respective par. ties, and the Court unanimously, without rising, ordered the arrest to be vacated, and the bail bond given to be cancelled. It appeared on the argument that Mr. Radia was a large holder of real estate in the city and State of New York, and that he had not disposed of any of it. Deatn or HorrMayn iN St. Lovrs—Wm. 0. Hoffman, who was shot on Fourth street, on Tuesday the 4th instant, by Mra. Mary C. W. Baker, died at the Sisters’ Hospital last evening.

Buyers on time compose the bulk of transactions, but‘this does not relieve the market of the amount of stock pressing for sale, and does not weaken the position of the bears. There is very little probability of the bears getting so short as to be in the power ofthe bulls. Afew years since, when there were comparatively few fancy stocks on the market, not only afew companies, but each with a limited number of shares, it was not a very difficult matter to get up a pretty sharp corner and get the bears in a very tight place, but not so now. Nearly every fancy on the list bas been issued in immense quantities. Where it used to be hundreds of thousands of dollars of capital it is now | millions, and the supply is almost unlimited. The bears need never be under any apprehensions relative to the future so faras not being able to get stock is concerned, and can therefore operate fearlessly. Nicaragua Transit with a capital of eight millions, Erie Railroad with ten two to three millions, Hudson Railroad five to six millions, New Haven four to five millions, New York Central with twenty-five millions, and all the Western roads with capi- tals increasing at the rate of one and two millions an- nually each, there is very little probability of a corner inany one. The bulls, therefore, have nothing else to depend upon for an inflation of prices but an outside de- mand for the fancies and good times. It is a most pre- carious business, and very few buyers of fancy stocks make money. An advance in prices depends upon so many favorable circumstances, that the chances of a profit are almost as poor aa in any lottery. Notwith- standing this, the great desire of outside speculators is tobuy. They think the sure way to make money in Wall street is to buy, and parties who would drive a very sharp bargain for a house or lot, or for any article of merchandise, or look cautiously to the security on a loan of money, will buy hundreds upon hun- dreds of shares of fancy stocks, put them into their pockets, where they will rest for weeks and months, without far or anxiety. This is confidence. At the rst board to-day Illinois Central bonds fell off 34 per cent; New York Central bonds 1; Canton Com- pany, 4; New York Central Railroad, 44; Hudson Rail- road, 34; Michigan Central Railroad, 14. Nicaragua ‘Transit advanced 3 per cent; Crystal Palace, 4; Har- lem, 34; Reading Railroad, 3, Railroad bonds were freely offered at lower prices. Tha steamship Europa, from this port for Liverpool to-day, carried out $656,649 71 in specie, principally in gold bars and British gold. A. H. Nicolay’s regular semi-weekly sale of stocks and bonds will take place to-morrow, at half-past 12 o’clock, at the Merchants’ Exchange. Mining stocks are still inactive and without material | change in prices.

But for this cause, the gross earnings of the year,it is believed, would have reached $270,000, and the expenses would have been from $10,000 to $15,000 less, Which would have shown net earnings upon the year’s business of from $30,000 to $35,000 more than the amount exhibited by the above statement. As it is, however, the gross revenue of 1858 has exceeded that of 1862 $35,702 81, and the net earnings $8,125 11. For 1864 it is anticipated there will be a large increase on 1853. The following is s general statemont of tho affairs of the company on the 3ist day of December, 1853:— Liannamies.-Capital stock, $1,000,100; convertible bonds $423,350; unconvertible bonds, $18,000; profit and loss, $119,305 '80; notes and account parable, $2,556 49; un- id interest and dividends, $15,280 09; transportation Fiabitities, $19,508 41.

The premium and exchange make the available amount atleast $2,800,000, The hil allows the tunnel to be shaped for one or more tracks. Should asingle track be adopted, the comtents would not ex- coed 250,000 yards, and at the rate now paid in the Southern States, viz., $3 per yard, allowing $60,000 for shafts, and $100,000 for interest, the coat will not exceed $900,000. There isa wide margin to cover any contin- gencies. ‘The Cincinnati, Cambridge and Chicago, and the Oin- cinnati, New Castle aad Michigan Railroad Companies, have consolidated, and assumed the name of the Cincin- nati and Chicago Railroad Company.

To London nearly the whole export was in breadstuffs and provisions. To Trieste, naval stores form the bulk of shipments. To other ports there has been no movement of consequence, and the exports have been composed of the usual variety. The horrible weather which we have experienced im this neighborhood during the present week has greatly retarded business operations, and the dry goods trade has been without animation, but also without any other essential variation. The receipts of seasonable articles from our own manufactories and from Eyrope are de- creasing, while the stock here of such is comparatively small. Hence, these sell pretty freely ané well. Uni sirable commodities are, however, quite abundant, and of uncertain worth, as they eannot be disposed of except- ing through the auction rooms, where little regard is paid to prime cost prices. From these remarks, our readers will perceive that the same features still characterize the traffic as those which we have sqgoften before no- ticed. The market for brown sheeting and shirtings is less active but steady, as the stock is not burthensome. Bleached goods, too, show less animation at old figures, Denims are saleable and firm. No change can be disco- yered in drills, duck, or ginghams. Lawns are more in- quired for at uniform rates. Osnaburghs remain ex- tremely scarce, and are much needed at buoyant quota- tions. Printing cloths are held with increased firmness; but this movement partially excludes purchasers. the transactions are restricted. Prints are without im- portant variation, though they are still freely offered at old prices. Stripes and tick attract more attention at uncl figures, being in ample stock.
