Oswago, Nov, 24, 1857. ‘The weather here is cold, and snow to the depth of two inches fell last night. Aunasy, Nov. 24, 1857. ‘The weather here is moderate. Ico and snow slightly ‘obetructs the canal to the west of Rochostor, but naviga- tion ig wninterrupted to that point. Thoro is a probability that boats will get through to Buffalo for @ week or ten days to come. NAVIGATION OF ERIE CANAL NEARLY CLOSED. Buvrato, Nov. 24—1 P. M. ‘The thermometer at noon to-day marked 22 degrees ‘above sero, Snow commenced falling shortly after ten o'clock last night, and bas continued, without cessation, over since. A heavy wind is blowing from the west. Our barbor is still open, but it 1s full of broken ice, Tay o’cLock P. M. A heavy snow storm, accompanied with a very severe Bouthwest gale, commenced bere this morning, and con- tinued through the day. The canal ia not yet closed, but unless the weather moderates there will be no further moyement of boats from here for the East. NAVIGATION AT THE WEST—MARINE DISASTERS. Dror, Noy. 24, 1857. The propeller Ogdensburg, arrived here from Chicago ‘this afternoon, reports that there is much ice in the Straita of Mackinac, and that she experienced great difficulty in forcing through it. ‘The schooner John Martin, of Cleveland, is ashore near Preaqua Isle, and will be a total loss, Her crew were saved, ‘There ia another schooner ashore near the same place, name unkuown. She will probably be a total loss. There are as yet no tidings of the schooner Seaman, which, it is believed, has been lost on Lake Superior with all on board. ‘The rivor boats run with difficulty on account of the ice, and navigation is considered about closed. DETENTION OF VESSELS IN THE WELLAND CANAL. Oswnoo, Nov. 24, 1867. A large fleet of versols, bound to this port, with cargoes of wheat, are detained by ice in the Welland canal.

SSS ead In to Canal Navigation. THE CANAL CLOSED AT ROCHESTER AND OTHER POINTS BY THE ICE, AND PROOF AGAINST ICE BOATS. By telegraph despatches, posted at tho Corn Exchango yosterday, it appears that the Erie canal was closed at Rochester as far eastas Clyde, and that the icebreaker had been unsuccessful in attempts to re-open it. It was open at Lyons, and from Albany to Utica. At some other points west of that place boats were said to be frozen in. Another fall of snow occurred at various points in the northern and western parts of tho Stato last night. The receipts by the canal and North river during the past twenty-four hours embraced 14,000 bushols of wheat, while no flour nor corn came to hand. By Southern steam- ers and railroads the receipts embraced 14,000 bbls. flour, 53,000 bushels wheat, 3,000 do. corn, and 4,000 do, oats. News from Bermuda. By the arrival of the brigs T. M.

Wasuineroy, Nov. 23, 1857. Senor Escalante and his Mission—The Congressional Globe and its Reports. Tannounced last evening the arrival here of Napoleon Escalante, the special Envoy from Costa Rica. His mis- sion to Washington, as stated some time since by papers and correspondents from Panama and elsewhere, is or was for the purpose of settling and arranging in some form or other the complicated, troublesome and vexatious Tran sit route question, and that he came fully empowered by his government to treat for a free transit, and throwing open the line to general competition. But when he gets here he is informed by his Minister, Mr. Molina, that a treaty has been negotiated betweea the United States and Nicaragua, settling the whole question of the, Transit route, and that, too, without consulting Costa Rica, or letting her Minister here know anything about it. Imagine the cha- grin and mortification of Senor Escalante. The whole question taken out of his hands, and Costa Rica completely ignored! However, now that Senor Escalante is here, aud Inasmuch as there is a fair prospect of an early and satis- factory solution of the Central American imbroglio between the United States and Great Britain, through the kind offices of Sir Wm. Gore Ouseley and Lord Napier, perhaps be (Senor Escalante) may learn much by keeping a vigi- lant watch that will be useful and instructive, and of im- mense advantage to him and his country. Mr. Rives, tho proprictor of the Congressional Globe, bas recently published the annual prospectus of tha work, and of the Daily Globe newspaper which is in separably connected with it. You are aware, I suppose that the object of the newspaper is to present full daily reports of the proceedings and debates in Congress, whil that of the Congressional Globe and Appandia is to preserve these reports in book form. These are bound, and acon siderable number of copies of them is furnished at the close of the seasion to each member of either house. The debates of a long session usnally fill three large quarto volumes, embracing something like 4,000 pages, while those of a short session rarely require more than one volume. The price of the Congressional Globe and Appendiz for the long session is only $6, and for the short session, I believe $3. Considering the great value of these works and the enormous expense at which they are got out, the price seems ridiculously small; yet I presume Mr. Rives, who is as good a financier ag ho is a d politician, manages to make it pay. 1 believe that the Congress of the United States is the only legislative body in this or any other country that provides for the reporting and publishing of its proceed- ings. The English Parliament does #o in an indirect way, by paying a compiler (Hansard) for making compilations ot newspaper reports of its proceedings; but as these are always more or incomplete, and as their greater or less fullness is altogether dependent on the popularity or position of the members participating in the debates, sod on the im or otherwise of the measure under discussion, it i# plain that Hansard’s work cannot bear com, with that published by Rives; and yet Rives shows that he receives much less for reporting and pub lishing the proceedings of Congress than Hansard does for compiling and publishing the proceedings of Parlia- ment There are two corps of rej on the Globe—one for each house. That of the Senate consists of but three short hand writers, and these, with the aid of amanuenses manage to do all the business. Mr. Sutton, an English gentleman, has been at the head of that corps for several ears. and, I believe, bas a contract with Mr. Rives for Iuratshing the reports. He, therefore, is at liberty to em- ploy whom and as many as he chooses, The system in the House of Representatives is somewhat different. There, five short hand writers are engaged di rect by Mr. Rives, and the assistance of amanuenses is not juired. The head of the corps, for some two years past, is Mr. Wm. Hincks, an English gentleman, of great skill and ability in his profession, and to him the accuracy and finish of the House reports are principal ay two gentlomen (Mesars. Sutton and Hincks)Migve, each in their respective spheres, done much to prWect and ma- ture the system of Congressional reporting, though un. doubtedly much (probably beyond their control) remains to be done. A correspondent from this place to the Phila- deiphia Press makes a ridiculous statement as to the im: porant part played by come young Philadelphians in ringing Congressional reporting to its prosent state of per fection. The only ground for the statement is that, I be Neve, on each there is a short hand writer who hails from the city of Brotherly Love The Daily Globe, it seems, is not to be altogether con fined this session to the publication of reports and of the | current news of the day. Mr. Rives, in his prospectus, sayeo— Tits also my intention, from time to time, as occasion may require, to publish my rem ces of the public men with whom Ihave been associated during the last twenty-eight years. Anecdotes of General Jackson and the leaders of the party which he conducted and the lead- ing men of other parties, will, I believe, be interesting now, when partisan bitterness has ab “iin becoming the reporter of the debates of Congress T doomed it proper to say that the Globe would never be a partisan paper. This pledge will not be forfeited by in troducing as a contribution to history the political traits of character which distinguished the public men of my time. Although Tam, and intend to remain, a thorough demo- erat, I will never obtrude my principles in a way to make them obnoxious to any party. But in regard to persons ‘and events which go to make up history, I hope to make the Globe an honest memoir; and with that view I am re- solved to speak independently of all parties. pons teenies stn The Engineer Corps of the United States invy.

Alarm was giver, and a strong force of the Fifth ward police was soon at the premises, On entoring the building trace of the rogues was soon ascertained and pursuit commenced. On pass- ing up stairs the rogues hurled a large slab of marble down at the officers, thinking to kill them, but luckily the marble fell short. Officer Fields followed up and espicd one fellow on the floor above, and called to him to sur- ronder. He made noreply, when tho officer drew a re- volver and fired, the ball taking affect in the chin of the burglar, fracturing tho jaw in two places, The burglar then surrendered and was conveyed to the station house, and Doctor Kilbourne dressed the wound, The prisoner aps his name as Charles Seymour.

The stock market was a little shaky this morning. The tendency of prices was downward, and there was more disposition to sell short and less disposition to bay on long, seller's option. It was utterly im- possible to get out contracts on seller's option sixty days at any price. Offers were made two and three per cent below the cash rates, without finding pur- chasers. At the first board Illinois Central bonds fell off 1 per cent; Michigan Central 8's, 2; Pennsyl- vania Coal, 4; New York Central, 1; Erie, §; Michi- gan Southern, old, $; Galena and Chicago, $; Cleve land and Toledo, $; Chicago and Rock Island, 34 Missouri 6's advanced 4 per cent; California 7's, ¢ Cumberland, 4; Reading, 1; Cleveland and Pittsburg j.

Whatever remit- tances are made now, will be in gold. There is no confidence in bills of exchange of any kind, and no one will remit bills. The loases already incurred by the failure of houses in London, Liverpool and Glasgow will make parties here desi- rous of remitting, shy of bills for 3 long time to come, and all the monoy that goes forward for any purpose will be in the shape of gold. The sum due ‘the creditors of the old North American Trust and Banking Company was paid over to-day, and the whole or part will go out in the Arabia to-morrow (Wednesday) in zold. The amount is $1,320,486 30, and was, it was reported, drawn out of the Bank of America by the Merchants’ Bank—Mr. Palmer, of the latter, being the receiver of the Trust Company. Most of this amount is due to foreigners, and it will be remitted at the earliest moment possible. An- other authority states that only $700,000 were with- drawn to goby the steamer. ‘The clearances at the Bank Clearing House this morning were $13,352,156 07, «nd the balances paid $1,114,799 04. ‘The Metropolitan Bank throws out this morniag the notes of the Addison Bank, Steuben county, and the Elmira Bank, of Elmira, both of this State.

Messrs. Irvin have not had a note protested or a bill re- turned. They have no reason to suppose that the City Bank of Glasgow, of which they are agents here, is under any serious embarrassment. The Manchester Chamber of Commerce are op- posed to any interference with the Bank act. They think the rate of discount low enough, considering that they have no stocks of cotton on hand; and as letters from there say, “the crop grown in the United States lays at our feet. We can fix the prices we choose to pay, and you must accept them or go without, as we intend to make the South pay for our losses at the North, and are advised that the crop will be the largest ever gathered.” We suppose cotton will keep, and if our trans-Atlantic cousins are in the sulks, the cotton planters can afford to wait until they recover their equanimity and come to their plantations and solicit a little material to keep their spindles in motion. ‘The annexed is a comparative statement of the ex- porte (exclusive of specie) from New York to foreign 1865, 1856. 1857.

But from this amount we must deduct the salaries of the members of the board, which amount to $4,500 @ year. The Philadelphia Ledger of this morning says:— We hear of little doing in the money market. Tho banks are quiet, and the clorks have comparatively easy times. With most of them the aim is more to save than to make money. Good bills can be negotiated on the street at 1 a2 per cent a month. We were informed yes. torday that letters have ceived from Mr. Allibone, in which he expresses « on to return immedi: ately home to meet th usations against him as President of the Bank of Pennsylvania, The report of the State Treasurer of Georgia shows a balance in the treasury, on the 20th of October, 1856, of $355,305 33, and the amount received up to the same date in 1857, from all sources, $594,051 73. The balance remaining in the treasury on the 20th October, 1857, is $457,826 16, and the expenditures during the year $511,789 90, of which amount $236,- 157 47 have been expended in payment of the public debt and interest. The State debt is now reduced to $2,700,000, while the State road, the property of the State, is now fully and efficiently equipped with locomotives and passenger cars. During the past two years this road has paid into the treasury from its surplus earnings $143,600, of which amount $108,500 was paid in the past year. The system of taxation in Georgia is an ad valorem one—this year it will be about 9 mills on the $100—next year it will be reduced to about 8 The reduction is made on acconnt of the large increase in valne of all taxable property—the returns this year showing #528,927,963, against 495,478,045 in 1866. It appears by the Comptroller's report that he estimates that, indepen- dent of the increased valuation this year ($33,449 04), his estimation is that there are 46,751 negroes, and 40,754,660 acres land that have not been return- ed this year. ‘The Nashville Patriot of the 11th instant contains the following resumé of the report of the Railroad Commissioner of Tennessee :— There are twenty one railroads projected and in process of construction, including those on which work has been commenced and temporarily suapended, of the length of 1,622 miles, and estimated cost of $28,844,750. Six hundred and thirty-five miles have already been com- Ploted andare now in running order, leaving nearly athou- sand miles to be yet completed. Tho State has already isaned ite bonds in aid of these roads to the amount of $6,149,000, and endorsed company's bonds to the amount of $2,560,000 more, making the sum of $8,699,000, for which the State is contingently liable.
