The Revenue Cutter Joseph Lane and the Peruvian Navat Officers. 10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Catto, January 2, 1856, Having read a report ia your paper ef the 7th Decem- ber last headed ‘“‘Saawefal condact of the Peruvians,” and being in command of one of the stemers at that time, I feel it my duty to contradict that report, and lay before the public the real circumstances that o¢surred. When the Peruvian squadron was lying a: Rio de Janeiro, consisting of one steam frigate arti two smaller steamers, on their way from England to Peru, Captaia Noxes, of the American schooner Joseph Lane, begged of Captain Sa'cedo, who was in commard of the squadron, © allow him to accompany him through the Straits of Magelian, as be bad never been through. Captain Sal- ceéo hindly told him he wou'd be very bappy to render him service that lay in his power, anc gave me par- ficular orders to. tow the schooner out of flo (whish T 4id), and aleo to tow bim through the Straits, if he kept company with ur. The captains of the U.S. vessels Savanuah and brig Bainbridge, likewise Commodore Salter, the English Admiral Janes ana the French Admiral Laroque Cuan- tray, were then preeent in Rio, who had their own flags in th es Savannah, Indefatizable and Poursuivante, and were witness to the hind offer made by Cap‘ain Sal- edo to Captain Nones. He parted company with us twice; the last time was on the 13th of September, in lat. 4’ 3., lon (024 W. We entered the Strais on the 22d of ember, and same evening passed Reysl Roads, Etizabeth Isiand. Next morning we were off Sandy Point (Cni ian Settlement) where we saw two vesse’s, one with the Chilian ensigr flying—the other hai none. That night we hove to, o! Port Gailant, and on the morning of the 24th, at 8A. M., we passed York Roads, where Cap:ain Nones reports he was Jyixg when we passed, and hii been for the week previous. Now I shall leave i: to any one of common judgment to éecide, who hes fell wed me throughout the explanation that I havs given, how could he accomplish the distance of 910 miles in euch navigation as the Suraits of MageUan pre- senta in four days’—he Laving parted company wits us on the 13th, and caneequently arriving at York Rvads oo the 17th. Such a report I have pisisly provei to bs false, and in fact impossible to sccomp.ish. He als» re- porte that we refused picking up @ boat's crew belonging to@ Peruvian whaleshp lort in that latisude. Thivwe know to be ineorrect, ax there are ne Peravian whale- ships in that latitude, nor inéeea has any been reported lest, nor did we see #sirgle beat in the whole straits. Nothing could pass our notive, for there was always a gcod lookout wept at the mastnead, besides ab-ut 700 men among the three ships reeing everything ou boi ndee as we went through. I have written the above for the purpore of «xonerating the character of Cap‘. Saleedo before tke public cf the neglec, or unkindness {aputed to him in tne statement of Cap alin Nones. TaOMAS KEES.

SUSPICION OF GRAND LakckNY.—A respectable looking yourg man, named John Campbell, was taken into ens. tody yesterday morning, by officer Keefe, of the Caief’s \fiion, on a charge of grand larceny, under the following ctreum siancer:—On Wednesday night » gentieman named J..N, Douner, residing in thia city, was ind party of to enter @ drinking mioon fn Beeman, near Duane street, where he became inebriated and great’y confases, From the drinking house he was led wa billiard saloon in Duane street, where, attor induigiag in sundry potationa, he became quiteansonacious.

However, he strong! suspected that Campbell, or some of his faahosieten, Into whose hoe spay & he Jallea, had carried cf his pro- perty with a felonious intent, and accordingiy ntorma- tion of the matter was given to the polis, resulting in the arrest of the prisoner. Campbell on being taken be- fore Jastice Welsh, at the Lower Police, was committed for examination, In answer to the charge preferred against him, the prisoner paid he had nothing to say, aa he was entirely innocent in the matter, The property alleged to have been stolen haa not yet been resovered although | the officer t# making every Pxortion to ferret out the | Whereadoute of the rame Kansas Meeting in Savanash.

At the firat board Mirsouri 6’s advanced 34 per cent; Delaware and Hndson, 1; Nicaragua Transit, 3; Erie, 3s; Michigan Central Railroad, +; Michigan Southern, %; Cleveland and Toledo, 14; Milwankie and Mississippi, >. Harlow was offered to-day very freely. For s:me time past this stock bas been quiet, and prices without much change. Western railrcad stocks were quite activa this morning, at better prices. As the season advances, and rallroad traffic is again actively resumed, we shali see an increase in the receipts of the prominent railroad companies of the West sufficient to confirm ail that bas been said ia their favor. Railroad bonds of the right sort are grada ally but steadily improving in market value. They are among the best investments of the day, and are not fresly pressed for sale. As soon as peacsis coccluded in Eu- rope, and the people are eatisfied that they oan bring out their money with safety, we shall see a vy active cemand spring up for American securities, pa § ticularly for first class first mortgage railroad bonds. Raitroad bonds issued by companies of doubtful cha:- acter, erdorred by companies reputed responsible, have had their day, for a time, in this market. Europes capitalists want first class first mortgage bonds, direct issues by good companies, and such securities must, defore the present year pases away, command much higker prices than those now current. There are not mapy of this charaeter on she market. The absorption for permanent investment is gaing on tenfold faster than the creation, or the appearanee of new issues It will be recollected that when it was first announced in London that Russia had consented to en‘er into peace nezotia tions, an active demand at once appeared for America: securities, and prices rapidly advanced. The actual p:u- mu’gation of peace must haves much more favorable (fect upon our securities, and draw millions from their present hiding and hoarding place: tor investment. After the a¢journment of the board the following sales of bonds and stccks were made at auction by A. H.

It is only necersary to say, in connection with the above comparative statement, that the construction ac- count of one o! these roads is closed, and in the other it isnot closed. Construction account, when open, absorbs a large amount of current expenses; when it is closed, the operating expenses must all come out of gross in- veme. The past week has been one of much animation in the dry goods trade, the weather having been more propi- (lous than any experienced for several monthy. The potels hare been well filled with purchasers from all directions, *#00¢i91 y from the West and South. The long winter and partial no. <**reparse with the city enabled mercbants in the interior to work © thelr stocks to a low ebb, and particularly in the more distant ai" ‘Ti¢'s of the country. The collections continue fair, and the num- ber of failures rather less than common at this season of the year. The serious decline in provisions and breadstuffs a: the West and Northwest is beginning to be felt by mer- chants in those sections, whojhave cabbled in pork, flour and grain on speculation. Several failures have been re. ported in Kentucky, Ohto, ‘Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan, traceable to this cause, and it is pos- sible that others may be compelled to follow suit, Speculation in these artizles the past year proved very profifable, and hence the disposition the past autumn and winter ,with merchants, to re-engage tn the same operations, and at very high prices. As high as 6¢. and 7c. was paid for hogs at Chicago and other points at the West, which, to square expenses and leave apy profit, ought to sell in this market at $20 per barrel for mess pork; whereas it sold yesterday at $16 50 a $16 56%. Wheat and grain purchased at high prices on speculation, have remained at the warehouses at the West through the winter, and cannot on the opening of navigation be delivered in this market except at a heavy Jona. The habit of making time sales in produce, as in stocks, at bayer’sor seller’s option, at one, two or three months, im advance, has prevailed toa great extent. We know a case where 80,000 bushe's of Southerm corn was sold, seller's, option, deliverable in ali March, at 0c. o¢ bushel, which was compromised at adorn’, 100. per bushel. Other cases have given a att Wider margin. It may be asked what burinegg J, 7 goods merchants at the West have te tieddle with trade in domestic produse? It {8 txplained by the fact that they are ‘ed inta \. by a system of barter, They recetve it in exchange for goods at a good profit, ani when they find the trade lucrative they are seduced into larger opera- tions, which work weli until a revulsion occurs in prices, when, unless very strong or well backed, they go to the wall, and the New York merchants, who have given them undue credit, have to pay the piper. In many cases of failure it is found that the four months New York grocery paper has been paid, and confidentia) debts provided for, from the sales of dry goods, for which they had obtained longer credit. A reform is needed in this system of conducting the business, and until the trade can bring down their long credits to four months time, and thus be on a par with grocery jobbers, there never can be that stability in the trade and exemption rom losses which its importance demands. The value of the remaining portion of the cotton crop in the country will depend much upon the favorable commencement of the present planting season. At last accounts excessive rains hed prevailed in Alabama and other sections of ‘he eountry, and had greatly retarded the placing the seed in the ground. Should circum- stances continue umfavorable we may expect higher prices to rule. ‘The auction sales have been large the past week, and have been well attended. Jn foreign goods changes have been unimportant. Cloths and doe skins have hada good run. Dress goods were in good supply and dull, Staple goods were in fatr supply, at steady prices. In domestic goods the market presented no new fea- tures ot importanee. Prints were heavy and slow, Mouseline-de-laines and ginghams were im only moderate demand, without change of moment in prices. Drills continued firm, while brown sheetings and shirtings were in fair request, at unchanged prices. Lawns were in good demand and prices firm. Cassimeres and satinets were du'l, and prices were reported to be easier. Cioths were in moderate demand, a: unchanged prices. 2 Stock Exchange.
