The stock market this morning was qnits stealy. The actual cismirsal of Crampton has had no effect one way crthectber. There was considerable activity in certain yeading railroad stocks, and the demand for Erie ia- creased towerds the close. The receipts of this company, vp to Tuesday n’ght, the 27th iost., were suffie guarenty an eggregate for the moath of nearly $100,000 ‘against $160,000 for the ssme month last year. There was 2 great deal ot inquiry for the stock to-day from hor- rowers, and it appears to be scarce. New York Central Railroad, on the other hand, is plenty, and new sellers appear in the marke’ dcily, It is coneiiered a good sale at current prices, The same parties are selling Central and buyisg Erie, which, in our opinion, is a vary sens!- Ble movement. The former is caily running into arrears, while the latter !s daily gaining largely. We underatand ‘that the bulk of the inczeace in the Erie’s recsipts this maonth is from local business. All the Western railroad stocks were weil euriained today. At the firet board, Niearsgua Trensi: advanced +y per cent; Michigan South ern, 24; Galena and Obicags, +. New York Centea! Peilrcad declined 1; per cont; Panama, %; Cleveland and Pittsburg, 3; Cleveland and Toledo, 3. It ie s very caricvas fact that during the recent depression in the stock market, few rail oad bonds were offered, and those eld brovght full prices. First class railroad bonds are iow considered a first class security. They have settled <own into strorg harde, ata are dally improvicg in mar- tet and realyalue. There is no better iavestment in the nezket then first mortgage railrosd bonds, issaed by strovg companier; aud when their paymeat is provided br at maturity by & sinking fund, so much the better. At the second board there was no change of conse- uence in prices, compared with the morning board. Ike principal business was in Exfe, and the market dosed with an upward tendency. After the board prices + fraction better were curreat, The money market is steadily working exsier, The steamship Asia, from this vort for Liverpool to-day, eacrled out only $760,998 in ipeci®, axd sterling exchange closed heavy at 93; 8 9% per cent premium. t was estiomated that over a million would go outin the Acia, The sbipment in the same week last year was upwards of one and three quarters of a willion, The stesmsbip Mlincis is on her way to this port from Aspinwall, with $1,8C0,000 in gold, and wil! no donbt ar- rive in time for part of it to go into the bank statement made up on Saturday morning.

In that edbibit it was shown that on the 1st of Angast, 1856, the company would have in hand a surplus of $1,094,120, A ten per cent cesh dividend, payadie on that day, would only take about $550,000, whish would leave « balance of $544,129 for contingencies, Such ignorance and fully as the clreotors of \his company bave exhibited ia the man- jement of ite finances would dlegrace any c'ork of six months’ experience, in any city im the Voion. ‘Wo ara s little curione to see the forthouming saanaal ‘The directors hava got to igure pretty sharp to diepore of the gros» income of last year, so ae not to show, after peyn@ expereos, dividends and sil, s net oa the Ist of Mry, 1860, of seven hundred tho2- a écNers, which, with the net curylus of May 2, 1855, ($915,754,) mabes an aggregate of ons million in round figures.

The arri- vals of gold from Australia hed been large, Console closed at 933g for cash, and 94 for aseount. ‘The House of Representatives passed yeaterdsy, by a vote of 78 to 58, a bill appropriating sbout one and a half million acres of public land {n Michigan to aid ia the construction of railroads im thet State. This makes up an aggregate of about eight millions of acres of pa sli land appropriated from goverament lauda in the States of Michigan, fowa and Wisconsin to sid railroads in these States, At this rate it will not take long to use up all the public Jands, and cut off from the sstual settler de- sirable lands at moderate prices. The above grants of Jand for railroad purposes not only take about eight million of acres out of the market, but double the cost of the government lands in their immediate vicinity, and close all the land offices in ach State for at least one year. This last fe the worst feature ofall. Forone year, and perhaps lorger, not an acre of public land cam be purchased in those States by emigrants at any price, The land offices will be hept closed until all the lands granted to railrozd companies are selected and lo- gated, Itmsy befor ayear, and it may be two and three, and during that time emigrants will be compelled to purchase of speculators, or squat on Ianis, to secure pre-emption righis, The law granting lands lroad companies gives alternate sections, the g.vernment recevicg alternate rections, which sre raised to the minimum price of two dollars and @ balf per acre, ox dondle the present price, We do not complain of this, for the construction of rail roads throngh the public lands opea marks!s and of course increase the actual value, but actual settlera get hold of very few cf thee alternate sections without pay- ing ae bigh as ‘en and twelye dol ars per lators connected with these railroads, know eaclicst moment what alorg the line are and are not selected by the ecmpany, manage, without much difficulty, to ge: bold of all tha good land the railroads do not take, at the government price, and completely shat out the actual settler who cannot afford to pay eight and ten Collars per acre. It is a question whether such enormoue grants cf lend to aid in the constructicn of railzeads actually accelerate the seitiement of the country. In our opinion it does not, to the extent anti- cipaied. Railroads will, under the old system of con- structicn, be extended aa fast as the res] wants of the country reqm"é. Population will not exterd nor the oul- tivation of Jand increase as fast as railroads can be built, We find alorg the Jise of some of the most recently constructed railroads in Illinois, Wiesonsin and Jowa a@ very eparse population, and it will ‘be many years beforo the local businers on some of them sill be remunerative. The extension of a railroad three hundred miles acroes the State of Iowa opens to market at once millione cf acres of land; but it will be scores of years before that land is covered with 2 popuation capa- ble of farnishing business exrough to pay anything to the railrcsd stockholders. If the stosk of these roads re- mained for all ime in the hands of those who received the grants of Jend, all would be well enough in the way of profita; bot es the stock will change hands, and fall {nto these who muet look to dividends, the roads must prove productive, or the investment proves a tatlure. Ratlrcada must look to their local travel for profit; and itwillbe @ great many years before roads stretched across Jowa can ecmmand cnough business of that kind to pay. Cempanies bad been organized, surveys made, and, ia seme instances, contracts had been entered into fo: the construction of railroade in Iowa long before these grants of land were obtained, and they would have been ex- tended across the State a+ fast, if not faster, than the actus! cettiement of the country required. The railroad system cf Iows would bave been developed as rapidly ag the wan‘s of the people required, by private and indi- vidual enterprise, without the geants of land just made, and without the withdrawal for one, two or three years of all the publie lands in the State from mar- ket. There is no dsnger but that railroads will progress fast enough. The difficulty heretcfore has been in the other extreme. If Congress bad let railroad companias take care cf themselves, emigrants would not have been deprived of public lands at one dollar and a quarter per acre, The poor man would have been able to locate his family et a price per acre which, up to this time, has been the fixed price, and he would have enjoyed advantages which romany have beiore him, Now he stands no chance, and must give way for those who can submit to the extortionate terms of the speculator and the railroad monopolies. There is, so far as we can see, but one real benefit likely to ke derived from this wholesale p!under of the pubJic domain, and that fs the construction of the ratlroads in contemplation without flooding the market with unreccred bonds, If the lands will build the roads, there will be only s temporary isene of bonds, and they wil be «afe enough if secured by the plejge of lands. Feara have been entertained by holders of stock in rail- roads of Illinois terminatirg on the esst bank of the Mis. sissippi river, that these companies would lead their credit to lines beyond, to aid in their construction, for the pur- pose cf forming favorable connections. These lan grants remove all such apprehensions. Railr:ad companies wast of the Mississippi river have now the means to build their own roads, but it ia at the expense of the emigrant and actual settler, Although it relieves all the companies thie aide, ard makes the Mississippi a distinct dividicg line, we doubt if the country at large will not be more ipjured than benetitted by the course Congress has pur eued in disposirg of the public lands in such immense siicer.
