NIGHT £CRNE AT SOUTHAMPTON AFTER THE REVIEW. Southampton was never so full as it was night of 22d of Apri’, and never so empty as it was day ot 23d. Tnou- sand slept in the doeks, on board the steamers; huo- dreds paced the town all nigh:, with their oarpst bags in their bands, Animmense numbec were ‘permitted, out of charity, to psleep in \he railway carriagss, in the sta- ‘tion; ana the commande the United States mail steamer Hermann, iying wm the docks, took pity on @ goodly number, and permitted them to sleep on Voard his ship. Every one in the town waa up at cayiigh’, and thousands thea made their way to the docks. to goon boacd steamers, while as many more lef: Southampton to go to Ports- mouth by land. Tne Ferry Ficatine beidge was literally choked up by passengers on foot, aud in carriage, cab, Drougbam, fly, and light cart, all bound for Portsmouth, or Sonthses common, or any place whore # sight of the aval review could be had. The spectacle at the docks owas interesting in the extreme. As soon as it was light this morning the dock wasisecn to be throoged, ateam- ers, gaily decked with flygs all c:owded, and all gettin, thelr seam up. The royal mail steamer Tay starte from ibe docks at about 8 o’clock, with @ celect and Dappy party of sight seers. Several of her Mojenty’s ateam irigstes were riding at aucuor ia Souchampton- ‘water, and the gigantic Himelaya was repos'ng at oase Desice them. The villsga of Fythe, the princaly man- sion of Drummond the banker, aad the picturesque rains of Netley sl were rap‘dly passed by the ray. All the steamers belonging to the Peaingular and Ociental Sompany had hove to fa Southamptoa water, In order to pass through Spithead in & united squadron. As soon aa ‘the Tay reached Calchot Casile the tieet of gunvoata ap- peared in view. The Tay coaeted the Isle of Wight, and those on board of ber witnessed a right which wil not seon be forgotten. For miles and miles the Tay jour- eyed on, passing: ‘cores of gunbo3‘s, floating batteries, wortar boats, and line of battle ships, the whole of which ‘were gaily ornamented with flags, the line of screw bat- ‘le ships reposing in majestic strength, lcoking pistures ot magtificeat power. The Tay was the first steamer from Xuthampton that passed through the fleet. No- dhing,gxer could give so striking an impression of tha ata fia ane Foes of England as the sight of q drupls rows of eplendid war hips, the centre of which was at Bpithesd. The fleet looked power materialized. The fleet extended trom the Solent Sea to the Nab Light, and the besutifal Isle of Wight seemed provientially Sormed to be a breakwater and narbor tor toe most axtepsive and mca‘ magnificent navy that ever floate on the waters of the earth. Despatsh steamers wer racing thrcvgh the splendid snd liquid avenues forme by the fleet, with s'gnals flying, conveyicg mssaagos The Tay pessed up and down the fleet, waiting for be Mojesty’sarrival. As she lay to, a. the eastern endo the fleet, the visiters on board had an opportanity of witnessing the most megnificent spectacle {n the world. At mi¢day the ory was thet “ber Majesty had arrived at Portamouth;’ anc it was soon seen, a the manning of ‘the yards of the ships cf war, and the firing of guns, that the Queen bad embarked. Ee the Queen, ia her beautiful yacht, left the harbor, followed by e ‘magnid- cent train of steamers, which seemed to be endless, and through the fleet. The steamers in her Msjeaty’s train literally ex‘ended through the ocean for miles, As soon aa ber Majesty commenced passing through, every yard of every hip was manned by loyal crews, and she was saluted with cheering from tens of thou- sands of persons, and with the roar of artillery. Her Mojesty’s yacht, after passing through the flect, hove to fora short time, while the Queea lurched. The sea ‘was covered with ships, and five hundre? stermors were crowded witbia t) pace of a few miles. Prominent amongst the stips precent to witness the review, wad a French rhip of war, with na admiral on board, seat over by our augu:t and faithful ally, the Emperor of the French, as a compliment to the Queen. At3 P. M., the whole of the war fleet, accompanied by » vast number of merchant stamers, pat tosea. This immease concourse of steamers was led by her Majasty’s yacht, the Victoria and Albert. There was po mistaking this vacht, distin. remarkable appearance ard awiftnoss, an by the royal standard, the Admiralty flag, and the union jack flying from her lofty masts. It was a noble sight to see the two and three desk scrow steam men-of-war, with their sides bristling with cannon, doati: g rapidly to sea without any visible megas of loco- motion, As they arrived at the pivot abips the most in- teresting evolutiers commenced. Each Ine of steamers moved mejestically, and with the utmost facility, round the pivot ships, and theie serpentine wincings and tura- dogs exacted shouts of applause from .en4 of thousands ot spectators. Scon afte this the gunhosta mado an at- tack on Southses Caste; andas the (Queen leit the fleet the whole of the thips of wer saluted her. Tue sound of 2,000 guna was terrific, The review will be one of the most memorable events in the annais of the country. It ‘was a complete success. The enthusiasm with which the Queen was received, the splendii manner in which the veet performed their evolutions, the besutiful weathor— all contributed to form one of the grandest spectacles beheld. DHE LORDS OP THE ADMIRALTY VIOLATING THEIR OWN ORDER. The order issued by the Admiralty, that steam vessels, of whatever class, should burn anthracite coal, was ri- gidly Searoa by all the steamers, except one; and let fu- ture historians take note of the fect—for it affords an tary ‘on the difference betwoen pre: practising—that the offending vessel was no other than the Admiraty yacht, the Biack Eagle. To the horror of the {ngenfous Mr. Prideaux, and the indigna- ‘tion of all beholders, on came in the fall insolence of official pride, dimming the a'mosphere with a volume of ‘black smoke that burst from her funnel a¢ from a factory ehimney. {From the London Chronicle, April 25.)

The same writer, ina letter dated the 24th ef March, prévions to the news of Sohless ngor's defeat being received im Grousds, exprosass bts fears that the wel! known imprndecce and want of cantion of the latter might lead to anne disaster. The roeult hes fully jus ifed bis enticipstions, A tiavelior who has recently vist‘ed the Salt Lake set- terent, gives us a fearful pietore of the degraded mora! condition cf that “heaven nyon earth.’ He says that amongst the zevolting features of Mormon Institutions, that which permits marriage between blood relations ia the worat. He haa met with numerous instancas of men marrying both mother and daughter. A bishop of one of the wards married six wives, all sisters, and raoreover hia on nieces, He mentions that B:igham Young !atelybuilt a harem cf stone to cage his ninety beauties io, but that they all Micked against the arracgement and asserted their right to be treated like free borm daughters of Eve. Th Governor, he says, was obliged to cave in, Oxe of our Memphis (Tenn.) correspondents gives us @ flourishirg account of the growth and progress of tha clty. He states that more than 200,000 bales of ootton ‘are anoually sbipped from it, and a proportiomate quan- tity of Southern and Northern manufactures reosived and consumed there, Thereare now four railroads under oon: trast, running from Memphis towards the four points of the compass, apd connesting it with all parts of ths Union. The Memphis and grest Charleston road runs through a large «ection of cotton growing country ; and it 1s calculated that the tucresce in the Memphis cotton market, arising from it, will not be less than 100,000 bales annually. The city possesses as wholesome aa atmosphere and is as healthy as any in the Usion. The Rev. A. D. Gillette, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, complains of the statement made in our paper, that the Hon S. Doug'ad had “ made a liberal cersion of real estate to the Hard Shell Baptist denomination into which church 6 Houston was baptized about ayearago.’” Mr. Gillette wishes us to understand ‘that General Houston is ® membsr of the Bapiisy church denomination, accepting of n> epithet, and certainly not the vulgar one above named.” He saya that the body of Christiana with whora the Generai is unfied have in Texas 215 churches, 124 clergymen, and over 8,000 communi- cants, and in this State 828 churches, 741 clergymen, and about 90,000 communicants. In all North America they number 1,251,000 members. He thinks it bad trate and ungenerous to apply an opprobriovs epithet like that of ‘‘Hard Shell Baptists,” to any church, and more especially to one honored with the pames of Roger Williams, Dr. Cone, Governors Briggs and ‘olby, Hon. Ira Harria, Dr, Wayland, and a host of other distinguished men. We give the Reverend gentleman the full benefit of bis remonstrance. The German Catholics of Canton, Stark county, Ohio, have sent us a letter complaining of the manner in which their conduct has been misrepresonted in se- vera! of the American newspapers, but more particu. larly in the Katholische Kirchen Z:itung, the editor of which they charitably think bids fair to end his days on a gibbet or im # dungeon. They state that their congregation was ope of the oldest and moet flourishing in the northern psrt cf Ohio, antil certain recent, unfortunste divisions sprung up amongst them. A pastor was appointed to their church—tho Rev. Mr. Weikmen—with whom they had every reason to be satis- fied, beisg a man of deep thought, an eloquent speaker, and a conscientious clergyman in every sente of the word. His viewa in regard to the tenets of the Catholic church were orthodox. He advocated the doctrine that works, not forms, were the essentials required by it; that fa: ing, without » change of heart, would avail nothing. He also introduced the oral ceremonies of the sacraments of baptism and marriage in the German language, subject to the choice of those immediately interested. For con- Auet like this, a few evil minded members of the charsb, attached to his predegessor, and with his aid, together witb that of the Vicar General, who about three years ago was stationed there, and hed an inclination to return again,"opened their but‘eries sgainst the character of the reverend gentlemen; denounced him as anti-Catholic, and applied to bim the opithets of ‘‘infizel, freethiaker, ra- tionalist,”’ &c, The consequeace was that the Bishop caused bim to leave, without even assigning a cause. Againet euch a course bis congregation protested, and would ever protest. It was not treating them, they think, as Christians should treat one anothor. The Bishop holés the title to their church, which they with their own weans and labor had erected, ani keeps it cloeed against them, hoping by such & course to force them to submission and gubserviency. They protest against his course as Catholics, and fearlessly proclaim that the Catholic religioa does not teach any sueh line ofaction on the part of their Bishops. We apprehend that the good people of Canton, S'ark cdunty, are too ford of protesting to remain long within the pale of the Catholic church. A Cincinnati correspcndent gives us an account of a visit which he paid to Mr. Longworth, the great wine grower and millicnaire. Ho says that ‘the fs «small ran with a large brain, and something of Danlel Web- ster ian his eomposition.”’ Mr. Longworth weat to Cin- cinnati some fifty-two years ago, almost penniless, and now be is worth several millions. He told our cor- respondent that a lot which he could have bought for twenty dollars when he firat visited that city, has been s'nce rold for $500,000, Mr. Longworth is aman of re- fined tartes, his mansion being adorned with printings, statuary snd other gems of art, the selection of which evinces a cultivated discrimination. From Demerara we hava a letter describing the recent snsade of the “Angel Gabriel” amongst the black popu- om of that island, and the riots to which it led, details of which have already been published in our pa- per. Our correspondeat states that no great damage was done in the city, but that on the esiates, and from Mahaica to Easequibo not a shop had been left atand{ng. ‘The blacks had taken or thrown into the canals every article which they found, and rooted up or destroyed all the plantains and provisions belonging to the Portaguore’ The government had to rend off to Barbadoes for addi tional troops, and @ good many people had been shot. There were fourteen hundred prisoners to be tried at the next criminal court. In @ sermon preached by Arohdeacon Jones after these occurrences, he told the blacks that they had putan effestuat extoppal on slave emancipation to the farthest end of the world, and that if Wilberforce’s ghost could appear before them and con- template thoir ingratitude, they would have to shrir® from its presence with horror and shame. Several of the Portuguese merchants have been completely ruined by thefr procesdings. A letter from Omaha, Nebrasks, announces the arriva) at that place of the steamer Admiral, from St. Louir, having on board a detachment cf United States troops, ander Lieutenant Smith, with a prisoner named Khine- bart, a United States coldier, in charge. About six menths ago this men murcered # sergeant at lort Kearney, and bis term of service having expired before he cou!d be brought to a court martial, he has been brought to Ne- braska to be handed over to the civil authorities of the Territory. General Harney was makiog active prepara: tions for a vigorous campaign against the Sioux, Many of his troops bad died during the winter from the suffer- nga to which they were exposed. The General himself, who is one of the hardiest soldiers in the service, must, it is estimated, haye walked at least 400 miles Curing the severest part of the season. There are prospects of a large emigration to Nebraska this summer. We have received s well writtem appeal, inviting sub- scriptions for the ‘‘Houge for the Colored Aged,”’ in Sixty- fifth street. This is a well conducted and most meritori- ous institation, and charity cannot be better bestowed than in contributing to its fands. No more practical or useful field oan be found for the benevolent sympathies of the abolitionieta. Our correspondence from Detroit tates that navigation bad again resumed its wonted activity after the long em- bargo which the ice had placed upon it. Boats were plying between Detroit and Cleveland, Sandusky and Toledo, on Lake Erie, and up the river to the foot of Lake Hurom, Within a week or two it was expected that the Great North Shore Michigan Central Railroad line of boats would eommence their regular trips to Buffal From the last accounts it was not probable that the Straits of Mackinac would be open before the middle of May. Bu- nines of every sort was looking up, and the prospects for an abundant harvest were very flattering. The news from the copper and fron mines on Lake Superior was of the most encouraging character, and there is no doubt that there will be a heavy inerease in the trade with that region this season, Stephen H. Branch, writes quite a poetical effusion on the subject of his unsolicited appointment to an office in one of the city departments, He declines the proferrsd honor, and respectfally requests those who have conferred it upon him to erare his name from the publio archivos.

From the statement which he sends us, its objects may be briefly stated to be—the exclusion of fnecmpetent workmem and boys from competition at low rates, with good hands, and the establishment of » uniform rate of wages at two dollars per day, the Trade Union undertaking to furnish good workmen at that pries. The unhealthy and frequently perilous character of their occupation he contends entitle house painters to such an equitable remuneration, Areverend correspondent makes tous the following statement:—During the distress some years ag> in Ma- Geira, be contributed to the subscription raised here for relief of the starving population of that island. He was afterwards informed that the contributions sent from here were not distrbuted with impartiality by the thorities, the money having beon used in paying a daily pittance to to the Iaborers employed on the public works. Onr correspondent has fifty dollars ready for the suffer- era at the Cape de Verdes, but before sending it he wou!d lke to be assured by the Portuguese Consul that the assistance sent will be properly and impartially distribut- ed. We recommend the question to the attention of Mr, Figaniere. Tho Union Kerry Company are waking up. We have before us an invitation from their President to visit the ferry boat Naseau, at the Wall street ferry, to day, to witness the performance of a steam fire evgine recently placed on board of that boat. We should be better pleaced to be invited to inspect the bocks of the company ard to have an opportunity of satisfying ourselves why it is that now the price of coals is reduced, the company continue to exact the additional cent of ferriage, which they laid on, un¢er the pretence that the rise in the price of fuel necessitated that measure. We are afraid that this steam ergine porformance is only intended to throw ¢mcke in people’s eyes. The Commisiioners of Emigration have sent us a copy of large poster which they have had placarded through- out the city, cautioning emigran'a against the sshemes and tricks of the runners, who have beon hitherto making a fat living by the epoi!s which they wrung from these poor strangers. The lawless and violent conduct of there men morits that the fullest exposure and punish- went should be awarded to theirconduct. We trust that the Commissioners will be properly sustained by the au- thorities in theie cfforts to protect emigrants against this organized system of plunder, City Improvements. NEW BUILDINGS IN THE VICINITY OF THE OLD CO- LUMBIA COLLEGE GROUNDS—THE GREAT DRY GOODS MART OF NEW YORK—WHAT THE MER- CHANT PRINCES ARE DOING. There is a tendency in all city trade to concentrate ia particular localities, Leather denlers find their way to the ‘Swamp,’ milliners to Division street, shippers to Scuth street, basket makers to Fulton slip; and now it appears as though the great wholesale dry goods mart of this city is to bein the Third ward, in the vicinity of old Columbia College. Some of the most stupendous estab- Mahments of the kind in the country have already been built there, and others equally magnificent are in the process of erection. ‘The new edifice for Columbia College will not be ready for cecupancy for from three to five years, and until it i: erected the old College will continue to deface Park and College places, which, before » year is over, will be # wil- derness of splencid and cost'y stores. But perhaps it is in keeping for wealth to outsize learning—it certainly always does so. rly all the stores now in the process of erection arc to have marble fronta, and down town, in consequence will soon make quite a showy apptarance. There are some few houses with 1ron fronts, but brown stone, so lately the rage, is in danger cf being discarded entirely. Indeed, lighter colors, as a genoral thing, prevail in our newest houses, andit has made a manifest and pleasing improvement in the prevalling styles of architecture in our city. ‘The United States District Attorney, United States Mar- thal and Commissioner, have deserted the building owned by John. Stevens, corner of College place and Murray street, ard have taken two houses immediately oppesite—Nos. 9 and 10 College place—for which they will pay $20,000 a year—$10,000 a piece. They paid $16,000 # year for Mr. Stevens’ house, and that was deemed an ¢xorbilant sum of money for the room occupied. Mr. Stevens purpeses to build a new house on College place, 100 feet front and 90 deep. Itis to be four stories high, with a bacement level with the street, and sub-sellar. It will be similar to the old house, whioh will be altered soas to make ® continuous range of uniform stores, with ware- rooms in the upper stories. Tho plans have not as yet been matured, but the alteration ard buildieg will pro. bably cost $75,000, These stores will be unique in ap- pearance, situated so far above the street, nor will a bat- tlement end, which is to adorn the front on College place, detract anything from its quaintness. It id estimated that the rental of there stores will be $52,000 a year, Chittenden & Co. have recently removed into a splendid dry goods store, The building is 58 feet by 100, has (ronts cn Bare’ay stseet, College place and Park place, and fs built of white marble, five storfea in height The establishment is owned by Chittenden & Co., who occupy the ground floor, cellars and vault; the upper stores being rented by Jaffray & Sons. Tho vaulta under this edifice are a wonder in themselves—they run all round the building and under the pavement of the streets, and measure in a direct line 276 feet, The patent vault Vght used makes these underground apartments as lightsome as any part of the building, and nearly ag mitich business is done underground as on the “top of earth.” In mavy respects this i« a model store. A fire in one of the vaults heats the wholu efifice. This arrangement, by lessening the nevessity for an investigation by the Fire Marshal, has the effect of taking cf tom per cent from the insurance. The cost of this building was a trifle over $125,000; the value of the ground, a part of which is leased, is $126,000, Wilson G. Hant’s splendid new store, corner of Church atreet and Park place, is also much admixed. This build- ing occupies 100 feet in Park place and 46 feet in Church street. It {s built of white marble, and cost $00,000, The basement, in which business is alao transacted, is 60 feet dy 100, and is lighted by prismatic glass from the side. walks, which gives an excellent light. Mr. Hunt oocuplew the ground floor and cellars, and Allen, Hazer & Co., the upper stories, This te a superb building, and, like Mr Chittenden’s, is an orsament to the city. Adjoining Mr. Hunt’s store, in Park place, five new buildings are going up, each 25 feet by 160, and having # front aleo on Barclay street. They are to be owned ro spectively by Robert J. Dillon, Spofford & Tileston, Sher- wood & Teft, and Mr. Hamblin. The fronts will be of iron, bandsomely ormamented; the walls of heavy brick masonry, and will cost $40,000 apiece. The ground delongs to the College, which has a umber of long lease out, that ram from tweaty to ninety-nine years, with the privilege of renewal at ® #light increase of rent. These stores are te be used as dry goods emporiums, and tho building will probably rent for $10,000 per year. Mr. C. C. Thurston is the builder. The elegant Egyptian dwelling in Barelay street, occupied by the late Robert L. Stevens, has been torn down. This house was marvel of beauty inside, and it seemed almost pity to mar its exquisite frescoes and ornate adornments. ‘The other fine marble houses we notice are Moore & Co., No. 23 Barelay street; Warner & Loop, No. 19; Spaulding, Vail & Fuller, No. 26; Kitchen, Montross & Wilcox, No. 28, and Barnes & Lyman, No. 30 Barclay, No. 62 Park plaee ia of brown stone and No. 60 of white marble. } In one year this part of the city will be celebrated throughout the ooumtry for the number, splendor and costliness of the stores it eontains, and it will also be- come famous as the great mart of the wholesale dry goods trade, News from New Mextoo, We have files of the Santa Me Gasete to the 2th of March, The Garelle, of March 8, says:— Welearm thatthe commend under Col.

Dawson, as before announsed, died of cramp oolic at his residence, in Greensboro, Ga., on the 6th inst. The Savannah Republican cays:—Judge Dawson was born and reared in Greene county, bis paternal an- ceator being among the first settlers of that portion of the State. Hoe graduated in his acalemical studies at Franklin College, and commenced the study of law in Lexington, under the Hon, Thomas W. Cobb, and gradu- ated atthe Law School in Litchfield, Connecticut. He commenced the practice in Greensboro, and in a short time took s high rank in hus prcfession, a pos'tion wnich he held to the time cf bis death. He was Clerk of the House of Representatives in the State Legislature for ten or twelve years, and held the office through various changes of parties. He served as a Siate Seng‘or daring the sessions of 1834 and 1826, and in 1836 was elected to Congress, on the genoral ticket. being the only whig returoed, and was re-elected in 1838 and 1840. He toox ‘a high position in the House of Representatives, was a favorite with men of all parties, and at various time held the post cf chairman on some of the most important committees. At onetime he received a very fisttering vote for Speaker, but withdrew his came alter the first ballot. He resigned his soat in Congress in 1841, and was run by the Nh ak for Governor in the fall of that year and defeated. in 1845 be was appointed by Governor Crawford Judge of the Osmu'gee Circuit, and in 1847 was elected by the Legisiature to a seat in the Senate of the United States, which he ocoup'ed with distinguished credit to bimself for the full term of rix years. Judge Dawson was an active partisi- pant in the politics! affairs of bis State for many years, and, though a firm adherent to hts party, he had per bape fewer enemies amorg his opponents than any man ot his day. He was a whig under the old organization of parties, and proud of the name to the last. More re- cently he bas been thoroughly identified with the Ame- X party, and his friends will feel deeply his loss in their coming struggles. In h's private relations a all that becomes a man anda gentlema: An tionate busband and father, a firm friend, a kind and berevolent neighbcr. He has served h‘s country faith- wl 5 pe a virtues that will long live in the memory o friends. Died, at North Danville, on Monday, 5th iast., Mr. But Bickrorp, aged 101 years, 7 mon hs and 6 days. Mr. Bickford served his coun'ry in the Revolutionary struz- gle, was made a prisoner of war, carried to Eogiand and there imprisoned for two or three years, till finally re- ‘eased by an exchange. Hiaadescriptions of the treat- ment he received while a prisoner ho has often narrated, which treatment evinced anything but kindness on the part of his captors. For several years pas: he has been on the United States pension ro}l. The mapy frien¢s of Gen. Toomas J, Rusk.

During the past week tke stock market hay been dal, flat and unprofitable to all parties. Neither ths bulls vor the bears are much better off than at this time» weok ago, and it looks just now as though we should have another week or two of depression aud staguation, At the close of the week money was a little more stringent, andthe banks found it more éifisult t6 accommodate their customers to the extent required. It ia the im- pression that during the present week there will be = tight meney market, in consequence of the Ja~ge ship- ment of specie exported by the Persta, for Liverpool, on Weénesday. The steamer will not take out over one anda kalf million of dollars, That figure will probably be the maximum, with quite « margi« for a smaller eum. The California semi-monthly remittance will be due about that time, and there is no reason to believe that it will not be a4 large as the previous one, The exportation of specie from this port t* not the whole cause of the prerent financial stringency. The demard upon our barks from these of be interior tx the principal cause of the call loans being called suddenly and s0 extensively. In a few days at the most this will cher ge, The tite will soom set the other way; and we see at this moment no reason why, during the sum ner, there ehould not te a very easy money market, The season for heavy importations ia nearly over, and the accumulations in the sub-treasury will soon be much reduced. This, with the large disbursements on account of the Texas debt and other claims, will, without doubt, before July reduce the total deposits many millions of dollars, The bank reserve of specie aud the amount in the sub-treasury form an aggregate of about twenty. three millions of dollars, a suflicient bavis for any banking movement that may be attempted. This month, so far, has not differed much fp financial matters from the same month last year, and we have no deubt but that similar results will follow, In Jane Jast year, the money marke! began to soften, and in July and August money was 0 plenty that a very active speculation commenced, ands very great improvement was realized in the stock market. Prices for most of the leading stocks are not so high at this moment that all margin for an advanse is covered, Within the past eight months the market generally has ranged at least ten per cent above prices now current, acd under the eame influences we may see the samo thing again, Stocks are, beyond all question, worth more now than they were twelve months since. ‘The exportation of specie from this port Inst week was Nimited. The total shipment from this port and Boston during the week was under one million of dollars. Stirments oF Srecr rRoM THe PoRT or New York.

The company’s estimate for the flasa year Just closed was but $2,000,000. The gross income actualy exceeded that estimate $310,333—or about ff teen anda balf per cont.

In about a@ mouth we shall have the regular annual report of the company, and then woe shall see what disposition has deen made of the millicn of dollars surplus.

Wehave no doubt many holdera of the divi- dend certificates availed themselves of the company’s offer, and took stcck for them in February last. If so, the cash surplus, May 1, was larger than our figures show ‘The extension, or rather crosa cut to E'gin, has not been commenced; therefore the $500,000 estimated for thas expenditure ix not required. In connection with the above estimates aud remarka, we give a communication which appeared a few days since in the columns of a cotemporary relative to the position and prospects of the Galena and Chicago Rail- road Confpany. The writer signs himself “The largest stockholder in the road,”? and dates his communication at Chicago, the company’s headquarters. From these facts we should judge that he was well posted, It is our impression, however, that the writer is mistaken in the amount of the new issue of bonds. He has put it down at $1,000,000, and we have put it down at $500,000. If his statement ie correct it will be ne:easary to add the proceede—$390,000—to the balance in our estimates on AnD CmicaGo Rattroan, 3 been some dircussion respesting the ac- tual financial condition of the Galens and Chiceg> Rail- road, and aa some time will yet elapse before the annual Leport, appears, T wil here supply the information which the public require. First: What will be the cash payments of the com- pany for the fiseal year ending Siay 1, 1836? The en- gineer’s estimate in May last for completing and equip- pee ail the roads of the company was $1,375,000— ircluding the cost of the Fulton line, and the doubls track to the junction. Bat in this was included $120,000 tor interest on construction account, and $300,000 for a new line from Cottage Hui to Elgin, which will not ba needed nor built for several years. Under this head, therefore, with the road complete and ths construction account closed, the cash outlay for the year will be only $055,000; for the whole of the floating debt paid off, $281,888; for the dividend certificates issued in Feb., 1865, and paid off Feb. 1, 1856, $238,353: for in- terest on first ard second mortgage bonis, $190,000; for the cash dividends paldia August, 1856, and Feb., 1856. $470,000. Total cash payments for the year end- ing Muy 1, 1856, $2,135,221. Wha: bave been the cash receipts of the year’ It is ow known with sufficient certainty that ‘ihe receipts trom the road traffic, for the year ending May 1, will be fully $2,460,0€0. From th's, cedneting 40 per cent (a very tai aliowance for this road) for operating expenses, there remains $1,440,000 of net cssh receipts, cr above 28 per cent of the capital stock. Received cash for back freight and charges, $47,000; from the new wesue of stock of 4,460 shares at par, $445,000; from $1,000,000 of second mortgage bonds, scld at an average of 78 per cent, $780,000. Total’ cash receipts of the year, $2,712,000, or $476,779 more than the total disburse: ments for dividends, construction, and for all other pur- pores If thia balance, therefore, bas not been stolen, §% will be on Land in cash or cash asretscn the ist of May aext; &nd this, too, observe, with the road completed and float: ing Cebt: paid off; thus showing by far the soundest finan. cial condi ion ot ary raiiroad in this country. The only future payments hanging over this company are $220,000 ete in 1857, and $220,000 due in 1809, for the purehese of the ‘Air Line’ property,’’ and to meet those there are $111,000 first mortgage, and $1,000,000 of | the seocnd mortgage bonds yes unsoid, in the bonds ¢f other compantes. A reterence to the Inst acnual report will show yeu that the foregoing figures ~ caiculations are strictly accurate in every particu- er. The receipts of thia road for the quarter ending May 1 will show an increage of at least $00,000 compared with last year. The receipts for the next quarter, ending Au- gust 1, will probably show an increase of at leest $100,000, But calling them the same as Iast year, when they’ somewhat exceezed $600 000, the net earnings of that quarter will beat least $400,000, Adding this to the cash balance on hand cn the Ist of May next, (576,779,) there wiil be on band in cash assets, if it is not stolen or besides $200,000 wasted, $976,779, on the let of August next, which will be ample to pay 4 semi-annual cash dividend of 10 or 12 r cent at that time, and leave a very large surplus on and. That euch will be the action of the directors there is net the slightest doubt; hecause, according to their own showing, there is no more rad to construct; because the cost cf paat construction has been fally liquidated ; because the bonded resources of the road are ample for apy future contingency; and because, ander all circum- atances, any turther civersion of the legitimate profits of the stockholders to construction account would be not only unnecessary, but grossly dishonest. These I under- stand to be the views of s majority of the preseat Board of Managers. No one bere doubta that the recaipts of the road will continue to show a very large increase over those of leat year.
