NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1857." As the evente of the past week have directed the atten- ‘Won of the country to the representatives of the press in ate city, the names of the correspondents who are at pre- vent enjoying the ‘distinguished consideration” of Oon- (grees may not be uninteresting. Fach and every one will wadoabtedly receive an invitation from the Investigating (Oommittes to contribute toward the information desired by ‘Wat body, touching the corruption of the House and the wobemes of the lobby. The list 1 furnish embraces the mames of those correspondents who are catitied to an @@te to the floor of the House by permission of the @peaker. There are several correspondents among the members—for instance, Colfax, of Ind., who attends to edworial duties regularly; Wright, of Miss, and others whose names have escaped me. Several clerks ef com- maitices also act as correspondents; but the following per- wens are most of the regularly recognized ‘‘ represen. tatives of the press’ now in Washington, viz.:— E.

NR may not be out of place to say that the corps of Washington correspondents embraces a greater amount eftact, talent and industry than can be found im the fame pumber of persons picked from among the mem- bers within the barof the house. Remove the influence ‘whieh the corps exerts, morally, upon the members of Congress, and a state of things would exist better imagined than described. If corruption exists, despite the influence of the press, what would be Me condition of affairs without it? The correspondent of the New York Time, Mr. Stmon- ten, is really ina ‘bad fix,’ and he receives but very Metle sympathy from any one in this quarter, since his position has beea brought about from his excessive va- mity and want of judgment. His attack upon the Minne- ‘seia iand bill was from other motives than ‘‘moral con. parti Dy the explosion. He has nobody but himscif to blame that he is soiled in the conflict. But comment is unne- coasary regard to the incentive which Mr. Simonton be commenced, under *'moral convictions,’ Beis crueade againet the Land bill alluded to. His pre- sent position is all that claims consideration—the result, and not the cause, is now the most important to the pub- he. His counsel bas advised him to divuige, and not trust to the slim chance that the cupreme Oourt may Come 10 his ageistance with « decwien that the recent law of Congress is uaconstitutional. | understand Mr. 8. is !a- elined to follow the saggestion of bis lega! adviser; but here te bie dic mma:—On Wednesday he emphatically deciar. ed that be could not answer ths questions propounded ov the committee without @ dishonorable breacn of cont- ence, and it is difficult for him to see how the act of Congress can make what was dishonorable on Wednes- day honorable at any subsequent period. My conviction js that Mr. S. will fail back upon tac law, and give up the names of the two members of Con- who approached him with direct overtures to sell ‘votes 10r measures. He will reason tnat Mr Chester, the other contumacious 8 will to purge himself of the contempt attached to him, aud be- fore the committee will make a and news| correspondents, for value received ia abepe of ying interest. | believe Mr. C. is well posted 00 the subject.

The tendency of prices was cpwards at the first board to-day, and in most of the transactions ap advance was realized, The market on the whole presentei s very un- inviting appearance. The brokers of the strect have the bosiness of stock specuiations all among themsclves. There are no cuteide purchasers, but frequently outside sellers. No new buyors can enter the market at present points, and prices are high enough for many outside holders to realize, At the first board Missouri Stale 6’s advanced \ rer cent mberiand Coal, ; Reading, ', Michigan Central, Panama, 1; Chicago and Rock Island, \; Michigan Southern, X. At the close yester- day, Michigan Southern sold at 81)¢ per cent, dividend of five per cent off. It opened thie morning at 82 per cenl. Iipote Central Railroad declined % per cent.

The Manhattan Gas Company bas declared s sem'-an- Bual dividend of five per cevt. ‘Tho dividend declared by the managers of the Rostivg Railroad Company of four per cent, disappointed the old stockholders. The statements and reporta which filled the organs of buil speculators for some time past pro- mised much larger results. According to these sta‘e- ments, the earnings of 1866 promised much larger results than those of any previous year. The net income was all of half million leas, The working expenses wore to have shown a considerable reduction; they were much larger. The floating debt was to have been considerably Feduced; tt shows a large increase, while a considerable sum of money has been swallowed up in the old way, in construction account, On the subject of construction ao- count the old reports of the company are correct When Mr. Tucker was President of the Reading Rallroad, he frankly admitted in one of bis al reports, that construction accounts would never be closed, and he at tempted to prove that the interests of the stockholae » demanded the extension of the work {rom year to year, im all its ¢epartments, the better to be prepared to moe! the requirements of an increasing trade. Mr. Tuckor forgot one very important fact—the past history of bis great enterprise—wherein he could learn, without aay difficulty, that the more business the Roading Railroa1 Company had transacted, the more money it had lost. 1 he has not made this discovery, we hazard nothing | saying that his successor soon will. There is no public work im the United States that has been the football of a & set of stockjobbers to the extent of the Reading Rail road, and no enterprise in which those interested have been more deceived. Nocompany ever organized has been plundered to the same amount, when the extent of ite capital is contidered. None have been compelicd to pay higher rates of interest, or more for money to keep clear ef liquidation, None have bad a greater number of outside cormorants who have taken advantage of its ne- cessities to fill their own pockets, Asa fancy stock, to be Hiown up and down by bull and bear operators, 1t is ‘at this time fairly entitled to be considered the leading ‘one in the New York market. For the past few years, the best and most profitable of its existence, it has never enjoyed a permanent} position soarcely month at a time, There are innumorsdle reasons now why it cannot atiain anything like # solid or permanert position for years to come. It enters upon @ new career trom this date. It comes into competiiion with other grea) railroad enterprises, which enter cos! fields equally prolitic in Schuylkill county, and find their opposite termini nearly within the city of New York. kh is embarrassed agein with a floating debt of noarly two and a naif milbous of doll and if we are not mater! ally mistaken in our calculations, the managers wili re quire all thelr motive power to carry along this deb:, without paying much attention to the transportation oi coal. Another important matter comes in at this point ty agitate the nerves of any board of managers. Railroad reports are losing their potency, and dividends from bonds, stocks or borrowed money cannpt by any possibility be swallowed much longer. The public stomach has been surfefted with suob a diet, and aay ad ditional application of it would be fatal. There ts one fact connected with this company, as a stock jobding concern, of considerable interest, Those who hare used it for tueir speculative operations for years paat, frequently at the ex pense of their individual commercial credit, and some times at a risk of their commercial existence, keep at i yet. Some two or three of the large once who reside tu Philadelphia, bave had the courage and good sense to cus themselvce Icose and runaway from it, but those in thir city, who have seldom be id less than some twenty to thir ty thousand shares, cling to it still with the groatest nacity, and do not hesitate to spend the beter part of eac® day laboring in influencing others to buy it. No yoar in the history of railroads bas «0 many expedients ooen du viecd to keep public confidence alive as in the year just closed, while no year bas shown more Nwtakoab! y thir inability to meet the extravagant and oynfident os: culations of their managers and stockholders.

Notwithstanding thie expense, the cost of the read per mile will but lithe exceed that of the Milwauair ond Misaisslpp! road between Madison and Milwaakle whereas that company bave made almost contioura curves to avoid the expense of grading, which has #0 much increased the length that the oct of the road from Milwaukie to Madison far exceeds that of the dire route through Watertown. Madison has, by | boar made the point of commencement for that portion of the La Crosse and Milwaukio Railroad which has lavly re ceived & very valuable land grant from Congrets, any under whioh the road is soon to be constructed to Saint Anthony's Felis, The construction of thie road will coo centrate at Madison much of the business of the north ‘weetern portion of the Scate, which will add ve» large! to the traMiq and value of the Watertown au. Mi ° road, The Chicago and Fond du Lac Raiiroad (now hay (ng the northern land grant), intersosting at Watertown will contribute materia!ly to the business of the Water town road, The great chain of river, lake aad canal navigation which extends westward to Fon du Lac and Chicago, ‘8 distance of about fourteen hundre! miles, embraces the largest extent of inland water communication in the world.
