Thus, between the 12th and the 23d of each month we seldom have any direct communisation by steam with your city; and again, be- tween the 28th of one month and the 8th of the succeed. ing one, a similar cause of complaint exists; consequently Tam again compelled to write you to-day by the round- about route of New Orleans, The project of the Captain General respecting the new city ordinances, bas found at least one person with suflicient boldaess to dissent to certain portions of them but, alas, fer poor humanity, in terms so meek and hum- ble as to fully prove how crushed must be the spirit that could consent to bend itself so lowly to any mere man!

This is succeeded by the most puerile objections that were ever penned by man, and of which the following may be taken as a fair sample. One of the mew municipal ordinances requires that the inha- bitants of this city shall cause the fronts of their houses to be swept and sprinkled with water every morning.

It is well, though, to keep such facts as the foregoing constantly before the people, so that if nothing cam induce our government to move in the matter, they may be called to account for it when the proper pericd arrives By the Gaceta ot the 30th Jan., inst., [learn that at the solicitation of the Political Governor, President of Most Excoileat Ayuatamiento of this city, his Excellency the Captaia-General haa been ge to extend the pe riod origiaally graated for the obtaining licer for til the end of the month of Fe! , and also, many proprietors are not aware whether the the re licenses ia to be given to the hether the masters are to retain ic owa keeping, his Excellency is pleased to order that the masters may give manuscript licenses to their slaves, which shall be in full force in the jurisdiction in which they are issued, because the licevses issued by the government may be preserved by ‘the masters in a clean condition, which they would not be were they entrusted to the keeping of the slaves Thaok Goo!

MONEY MARKET. Monpay, Feb. 12-6 P.M. ‘There "wae quite a reaction in the stock market this moret With an active demand, and transac- tions toa large extent, prices fell off and closed heavy.

Panema Railroad advanced 1 per cent; Northern Western railroad stocks, the transactions in which were only to a limited extent. In the old, overgrown fancies there was a general depreciation, and it looks to us as though it was bat the beginning of the end. The stocks of euch railroads as Erie, Central ana Harlem, can no more be sustained at the present mar. ket prices, than the companies can earn dividends. Speculation can, for a time, inflate anything in the shape of a stock security, but all the capital ia Wal street cannot sustain the expansion. When toe Erie and Hariem Railroad Companies were paying dividends, holders realized some return on the mo rey invested, bat now they sre the worst kind of fancies, and ate an enormous dead weight at present prices.

No one is compelled to bay @ faacy stock bat the shorts, end they sell again at once. They do not relieve the market any. The demand gradually fails off as prices expand, and the brokera are left with large supplies of stock and no cus'omers. The Erie Rail, road Company wilt have a floating debt to start with on the first of March, of nearly one anda half million of dotlare. This must either be funded bya new lcan or paid out of the net earnings. With a drain upon its net earnings of nearly half « million ot dollars per annum for a sinking fund, and for con- straction acccuat to whatever extent required, there will be a very poor look for dividends. In the event of the net earnings dortng the present year amount ing to one million of dollars, every cent will be ab- sorbed by the sinking fund and construction av count, leaving every portion of the floating debt un- provided for, but we have no idea that the ast earn ings will be anything like a million of dollars. It wiil be seeu by this that ao fur as dividends ae con cerned, they are utterly out of the question, ualesa they are made in stosk. At the second board the market was @ shade bet- ter.
