Tt 1 conceded by most refleetiog persons, when allud- tng to a war with England, that fleets of the size, power ‘and composition of those whieh that nation has at the present day afloat in the Baltic and Black seas could, ‘without material damage, force an entrance into any one ef our seaports, and destroy the public works, ship yards and arsenals; and :heir only consolation is in the reflee- ‘tion that ‘in the course of a year or two’’ we should be able to place ourselves in position to thrust beck the in- ‘trader, and teke a nple vengeance fur the injuries inflict- ed. Indeed, the general popalar opinion is, that ia sach conflict we would at first for « time only— gaffer terrible losses; but thas our great natural resources ‘would soon develope under pressure, and that after the prostration of the first series of heavy blows, we should arise, Actwu i renewed vigor, and astonish the elvilized world with the evidences “f our prowess; and ‘this assertion hes been made #0 long and so oftea, with- out contradiction, that i: is now ly regarded as imcostrovertibie. Yet n0 coarse could be more faliacieus; no conclusion less dedustble than this from the recorded in ths anaals of history. Let us examine the audject a little more closely. Tn ease of a war wita such a maritime power as Great Britain, haviog » commercial toumage equal to our own, ‘apd an offenmive naval armament nine times greater, ‘there could undoubtedly de but one result so long as tne @isproportion 14 the iatter respect continued so great as at present. Our ouly coarse, then, would be to proceed et once. and as rapidly as posible. te build additional abips of war, and to convert our steamers and first class tating Yoossla into armed ships, and thue place ourselves upon sometuing of an equality wita our better prepared adversary. Tue question na- ‘arsaliv arises, ‘‘ Where and how is this building and alteration to taks place?” Aaa matter of erurse, at our priccipal sea port cities and navy yards. But it ass Ready bern conse‘ed that these @ been destroyei, ‘thst our dry dceks bave been olown up or burat, oar ship yards demolisbed, and #p'en ‘ii fleet of steamers and clipper ships laying at our woarves ausihilated. Where, then, are we \o create this new nivy whica is to ir the of G eat Britain from the ocean? It is ehilcish folly to do?ge the question or smooth over che answer, We soouid inevitedly de driven ‘rom the sev Beard into the iaterivr, (at least teaporarily,) ead woile teenumer and character of our poouiatioa p poary of our eonquest, yer we should de exsiuded Ube vcean. or eise our mari ime operadons would be Masited at tarvnest to the exploits of a stray privavesr or ‘two, sailing frcm some of our more insigniicast ports. Buch, with prooably some Jess ingtorivus overatioas by our land forces, would, beyond @ doubt, be the oro- grammeof » war beterea ourseives and Exgland, under Bae existing state of circumstances. Acmitivg, tor the sske of the argument, tha’ such & Ww tO our resources, nations! as well 4s individual, as the destructi n of our geeat ship yarda aud arseaeis, would not be complefe'y prostrating in a pecaaiery poiat of view, where, we would repea:, is the new navy to be @rested? It is -vident that, wih & sua coast open to at- tuck, this work could ony be carried on at points upon our principal rivers, w ick should be so far inland as to be secure from « bold cash by the c-uisers of the eaemy. aad between which and the ocean there wouid be a sufli- feat de.th of water to float armed vessels of a ln-ge siz. ‘Tee Pctomac river. at Washington, the Hudson #2ove tne ds, and the Missiseipp', are the only iniand waters ‘which would at all fuifil th-se condiions. Bat the for- ‘mer # liable to be turued by the Cnesapeake Bay ani Baltimore, as was done in 184. The navy yari om ihe lat- fer, at Memphis, bas, with cbaracte istic national resc- Jessness and want of foresight, been already abandned, while the third, and in reality much the most important ef all, has never been located, even om paper. Ita para- mount importance will appear atagiance. Let us sup- pose a sta.e of war with Great Britain, with the admis- sien that the port ot New York is not saffictently defended ‘to'prevent the entrance of *he enemy’s flzet. There isat the wharvey of Ubis c:ty an average of more than: ne nundred aod fifty first class ships and steamers. which coula atones proceed up the river to = point above the Highlands, where the necessary docks, abi pya: d arsensis should be located, and from which, in course of a few months, would issue a pow-rful fi-et, well maoned and equipped, and ready for every emergensy. Nor could this operasion be interfered with or prevented, as the marrow and crooked pesses of the Highlands can easily ‘be made impaseab'e to an enemy’s vessels, and the ou Jet $0 the ocean would always be free: for although a hostile fleet might dash in and destr \y vast emouats of property im and a rut the harbor of New York, it is not to be pre gamed for s moment that this city could be held for any Jength of time by the foress of aay focelgn Fower what- ever. Meanwhi e, the inland navy yard would be secure from a'tack. Tne fate of Sebast~pol is fresh in the minds ‘of ali, while the: niend position of Ni ieff stands un- seatned afier two years of most vigorous war. We should Profit by such lessons of experience ia the history of nations, ee we may learn them to our cost in the ceful record of our own. Does it not, then, appear ‘that the iocation of the public works aliuded to, apzn the Badson river, would offer at leas: one secure position for ‘the developement of the great natural resources waich we undoubtedly possess / ‘The re-establishment of the Memphis Navy Yard would + fer lik« facilities at a second p»in:. for the preparation f an offennive fleet, from tee vessels at New Orleans; ani Vy a judicious atra:egical syatem of fortitications, the navy yard at Wasbirgton might be piazed in a like condition «f security. We should thus have not less than taree roints at which we could uninterruptedly pursus our sys tem of preparation; and thes—but not uatil then—can we say with propriety, ‘We should suffer greatly at the begianing of a war with Engiand, but wouid soon be ina eondition to cope with her on eqnal terms.” With regard to the system of fortifications and the ar- manment necersary to deiend eifectually the entrance to our principal harbors, there is much to be said. There fa fair room for coudt whetber they have been so modified as to conterd successfully with a fleet ot steamers armed with guns of the mocern heavy calibre.

D. g. Manhattan Gas Company. The following letter from the Manhattan Gas Company is just and proper, and speaks for itself :— TO THE EDITORS OF THE COURIER AND ENQUIRER. Orricy oF THE MANHATTAN Gas LicuT Co., April 10, In response to your.call for information relative to the practice of claiming depasita from parties taking gas from ‘this Company, I have to state: First, That at no time have such depostts bes equal to one per cent on the amount of capital paid in. ‘Second, That the lowes of a single year from bad debts have repeatedly exceeded the sum in deposit. Third, That the amount deposi'ed remains f-equently but a single month, and by far the greater portion is re- turned within six months. The sum to'al nas been #0 inconsiderable that hitherto no calculation of interest bas been mace. Fourth, Interest will be allowed from this date on all deposits mace by parties who promptly pay their biils, ‘The necessity of adopting some course to prevent such serious lorses as have hitherto been suffered by this som- pany, will ne admit’ed by every fair-minded maa. The recuetion in the price of gas —to go into effac: on first of Octorer next—will require great economy in expendl- ture, the most careful management, and prompt and re- Hable payment of bills. Tam, gentlemen, very respest*ully yours, CHARLES ROIME, President, fINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MOREY MARKB®. Frupay, April 11—6 P. M. There was a very stale, flat marcet to-day. The trans- actions were quite large, with a larger portion thaa usual for cash. The brckers find it very difficult to keep the steam up, in the absence of oatside speculators, and make a very poor business out of the operations of the day. They live in hopes that a few weeks, at the most, will bring relief. At the first board Park Bank fell off 1% per cent; Panama Railroad, 3; Milwaukie and Missis- sippi Railroad, 3. New York Central Railroad advanced 2g per cent; Chicago and Rock Island Railroad, \-. Nicaregua Transit was alittle more active than asual, without much charge in market value. We have seldom krown at this season of the year such # dull, atupid stock market. Nothing of interest is going on in any stock, and but for the abondance and chespness of money, prices for all the leaiing securities om the list would rule from three to five per cent below those now current. There is no outside absorption. Not fifty shares of any stock have been taten out of the market during the past six months where five hundred have been brought in. The street is fullof all the leading speculative stocks, and the brokers find no relief, There is scme probability of an active speculative movement in the latter part of May or early part of June, and the brokers, ia anticipaticn of an inflation, may be disposed to hold on tors time longer; but if tho period named should pass away, and no outaige demand appear, prices would rapidly setile down, and the inducements of a re- duced market value be tried as an attraction. At the second board the market was without much change. Erie fell off 34 per cent; Reading, 1{; Hadson Railroad, %. Cleveland and Toledo Railroad closed firm at prices current in the morning. Chicago and Rock Toland closed at 92 per cent, bid. Michigan Southern Railroad was steady at 9534 per cent. We notice » of Wisconsin lake shore Railroad at 73, buyer sixty days. Western railroad stosks must take the first rank |. im that elses of investments. They will stand firm when others fall back. Those who take hold of these stocks at the start, witl couble their money in # few years from dividends and improvement in market value. There was a sale to-day of Milwaukie and Mississippi Railroad at 8434 per cent. The receipts of this company in March smounted to $31,800, against $30,456 for the same manth Inet Fear.

Fair sale were made by auction, and in some lines of French fabris at rates in favor of purchasers. Lines of French allks were sold at more or less reduction in prices. The French government has given public notice that from and after the lst of July next the export bounty of ten per cent hitherto granted to exporters of manufactured goods wil! ceare, on the plea that this bonus {s no longer needed for the emcoursgement cf the mannfacturers, It is probable ‘that between this and the Ist of July increased shipments will be made to this country, with the view of secaring the bonnty; but it is not Hkely that they will be immediately put upon the market. After tho expiration of the bounty it is probable the shipmenta for some time will be dimin- ished and limited by the wants of trade, Tho most activo and encouraging step of the trade at present existing in the country is found in the cotton growing regions of the South and Southwest, which has been stimulated by the large crop and enhanced prices of cotton, The advance may be seen from the following quotations, at different periods:— 2d Jan., 3d Jan., th April, 1859, 1856 1856. Middling Upland 1% 9% 105 — Do. Florida, 1% 9% wy — Do. Mobile. 8M 9% 10% Do. New Orleans and Texas.8 3g 9% 1 ‘The advanee from January, 1866 to 1856, w: ie. per Ih., and from January 3 to Ap:il 11 was from 1}4¢. to 1340. per lb., making the whole advance since January, 1866, to April 11, equat to about Se. per >, OF @I2 por bale, The low prices of Jwpuary, 1865, were for the small crop grown ‘nm 1864; 9244 the ad- vanced prices of January and April, 1396, are for the large crop grown im 1855. If te take half the advance, or $6 per bale, MF thé whole crop of 3,400,000 grown in 1855, it will show a difference of value in favor of the cot- ton growing States of about $20,000,000. The effret of this enhanoed value is seen in the great revival of trade in the Southern towns and cities. Money 16 said to be plenty, the people generally less indebted, and enabled to purebate more for cash, Beginning at Rish- mond and going south to New Orleans, but one report comes up, and that is that more dry goods sre selling this spring than has been known before for many years. All kinds of business is brisk, and real estate and other property is improving. This city has shared largely in this great activity in the dry goods trade of the South, The marset for foreign goods was heavy, which were being crowded off through the auction rooms, at a reduc- tion in prices, Brown sheetings and shirtings were in fair demand and were selling at 73<c. a 8c. for heavy, and at 6740. a Tc. for light goods. Drilla were in demand, for export chiefly, at 8 cents for brown, bleached at 8Xc., and blue at 934c. Corset jeans were unchanged. Osna- burgs were firm and scarce. Stripes and ticks were ia Night supply and prices quite steady, with quick sales. Cotton duck wasin larger stock, but prices were well maintained. Denims were unchanged. Printing cleth wasin fair demand, at unchanged prices. Lawns were rather better, with moderate sales.

Planters being employed with the preparation of their ground for the next crop, the receipts would natarall be small at this season on streams that have been navi- gable for any length of time. This in apparent vile, as th aings exhausted, and some ti elapse before they ean be repienished in due course. At Ubarieston and Savannah, even, it is not supposed to be owing to any deficieney of cotton, but to the unwilling- ness of growers to sell the remainder of their crop ualesa at enhanced rates. The effect, however, has been to dimini+h the number of the large crop ‘party, and to give renewed confidence to those who believe in 3,300,- 000 to 3,400,0€0 bales. Our own belief is, that the re- ceipts will nvom be renewed, and that the falling off from the present excess over last year will be too smail to give unblassed judgmenta confidence in a srop under 8,600,000. Our opinion of a yield nearer 3,600,000 thin 3'500,000 remains unchanged.
