- Grand Banquet oy me Democracy at the Lafarge House. + grand D8” foot of the democracy came off at the Lafarge Bou .¢ om Thursday night, ander the suspices of ‘We Centr’ , Nomocratic Club, in honor of the first nniver- wary Of she inauguration of Mr. Buchanan, and for the pur- pore of sustaining the administration on the Kansas ques™ Yon. The room was elegantly decorated with the flags of We United States, France and England, and portraits of Mr. Bochanan and Gen. Jackson. At half-past ten the company fat down to @ most recherché supper, got up in the first atrie. ‘Cynn H. BRACKETT, President of the Central Democratic hab, moved Mr. Stepben P. Russell to the chair Aiver the tables were cleared, ‘The Quamman said that as he had but just returned from Washington, and was much fatigued, it was impossi bie for him to make many remarks, but be would real a toast gent by the Hon. John Keily— The democratic party of the whole Union—the only ark of safety when the foreign foe of the domestic tagor en eof the Union. Tyraute tremble bef the majesty ‘ower—Gotestic Waiiore are crushed ender the pressure P weight. ‘This toag\ wae received with great applause, and three ebeere for Jobn Kelly. Letters were received from the Hon. Israel T. Hatch, Hon. Ejab Ward, Hou. John Kelly, J.B. Auld and a, Bower Duncan. ‘The Cuaraman then gave the first regular toast— The Constitution of the United States—Founded by JeTer- ~son and Madison, Hamilton and Jay, ant approved by the Father of our conntry; we will adhere to all of ite provistons, and, f necessary, die in its defence. Gen. Hmam Waiteriner responded—He was there to declare thai in the future, as in the present, the constitu- .on should be preserved as it came to us from the hands of Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton and Jay. Uundr that constitution we bad obtained Florida and J.ouisana, and be twusted wat i aples should before loug be extended to the Gem of the Antilics. When Territories which wore now disturbed were admitted as States all their troubles would become local, and Congress would be freed from tbe responsibility. (Cheers.) When he was in the Houge he supported @ bill which jef to the South and the Torritories tne settlement of their own affairs. (Applause. ) The second toast Was—— or a piar Mr. Joun T. HorrMan responded. That toast contained the sentiment of the American nation, nineteen-twentieths et whom he was sure would rally to its support. The Danner of the Union would float in epite of the madi ambi- ton of those men who wouki rather reign in hell than verve ‘u heaven. Tt was strange, in this enlightened age, ‘that the probability of the dissolutien of the Union should be a matter of every day discussion with the Senators of the United States and down to the village politicians. But the people did not believe that dissolution was at band. Mt behooved that meeting, assembled to celebrate the in- auguration of James Buchanan—(great applause)—it be -mooved them to put down all sec Prejudices, for they were the cause of all the troubles inthe country. The democratic party was a party of union, and when it fell all the sympathies which bind the Union together would fail with it. It needed more than party spirit aud party organization to keep the Union intact. In former times Henry Clay, Webster, and tha: old Roman of New York, Daniel S. Ditkinson, had sacriticed their party feelings and laid their prejudices on the altar of their country. (Loud cheers. ) Thira toast— ‘The Memory of Washington. Drank standing, aad in silence. Fourth toust— The President of the United States. We will stand or fall by the policy be has indicated and the measures proposed in his Mensages. Mr. Srerey D.

Dut little attention was paid to these numerous ‘throats, as the like had occurred #® many times previous, and especially during the excitements regarding Seguine’s Point last summer, that no fear was entertained until Fri- day morning, when the Commissioners of Emigration wore made aware of the fact that there was a complete orgaui- zation formed on Staten Island, headed by several promi- nent citizens, who were determined to have the Quaran- tine buildings removed, should they have to resort to burning them down themselves. It was reported to them that these parties had been working together for svvoral months, and have used all the influence they could, Ukewise their money, to cause the removai of the Quarantine to Sandy Hook. A special committeo was appointed by them and sent on to Trenton, at th time the New Jersey Legislative Committee had ‘the mat- ter under investigation, to use every means in their power to secure the above place for the future Quarantine grounds. Finding that all efforts that had been made to secure Sandy Hook had failed, they, it is said, declared that the present Quarantine location should net remain there snother season, and had resolved upon a night on which the buildings were to be fired. From further in- ‘ormation received by the Commissioners, they were in- formed that op Friday night an would be made 10 eet fre to the hospital buildings on the weetern side of wvarantine grounds.

That road is destined to be the great highway betweom the two oceans, and must ultimately be the points of transhipment for the commerce of each. New York Central opened and closed very firm this morning, with moderate trans- actions. At the second board the market was decidedly better, and an advance was realized on {nearly every stock offered. A very large business was transacted: Cumberland Coal advanced 2 per cent; Pacific Steamship Company, 5; Cary Improvement Com- pany, 3; Caaton Company, }; New York Central, 3; Erie, §; Hudson River Railroad, $; Michigan Cen- tral, 3; Michigan Southern preferred, 1; Panama, 4; Chicago and Roc x Island, j. The market was very firm at the close, with a strong upward tendency The most important advance to-day was in the stock of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. It opened this morning at 63 and c’osed this afternoon at 69 per cent. The steamship Arago, from this port for South ampton and Havre to-day, carried out $152,693 in American gold. The closing rates for sterling cent premium. ‘The Assistant Treasurer reports today as fol- lows:— The receipts to-day include $43,000 from customs. The reported earnings of the Michigan Southern Railroad Company for February, 1658, are $81,000, against $109,000 for the same month last year—de- crease, $28,000. The operations of the Clearing House to-day were as follows:— Total exchanges...... +++ $14,789,283 81 Total balances... oe 975,639 82 The Metropolitan certificates held by the banks are now reduced to $974,000, being a decrease of $444,000 during the week, and of $2,654,000 since the Ist of January. The steamship Europa, at this port from Liverpool, gives us seven days later news from Europe. The advices are full of interest. Financially and com- mercially they are of the highest importance and of the most favorable character. The London money market is reported most abundantly supplied with capital. In the discount market the rates rule at 24 a 24 per cent. The directors of the Bank of England, after long consultation, concluded to make no further reduction in the rate of interest at present. The last Bank of England returns show an increase in bullion of £756,504, and an increase in unemployed notes of £396,365. The advance in Consols has been very rapid. On Saturday, the 13th of February, the quotations were 964 a 96]; and on Friday, the 19th of February, they ruled at 97} a 97f per cent for money, and 974 a 97} for account. This shows an advance of 1j per cent. The Bank of France has reduced the rate of interest from 4} to 4 per cent. The position of the market for American securities is thus noticed by Messrs. D. Bell, Son & Co.:—During the week there hes been a very active demand for the various de- scriptions of American securities. State stocks have been in much request, and transactions have taken place at generally higher prices. Railroad bonds and shares have also been in good demand, and our | quotations in most cases are materially higher. of | ‘The circulars report an active demand for cotton up .% the close of the market, with an advance of about one quarter of a penny per pound on all de- scriptions of American. Breadstuffs continue dull and depressed. No new decline in prices has been realized, but the markets were heavy and inactive. A correspondent sends us the following calculation relative to the future operations of the Michigan Ceutril Railroad Company, and states that the es- timates are founded upon good data. We give it without corament:— Micmean Centar RarLroap Company, Receipts for 1866 and 1867 $3,150,000 Fetimated receipts for 1868... $2,700,000 ‘Lons 65 per cent .or expenses... 1,430,000 ili cee yen niee $1,220,000 [This eetimate of expense is liberal, on account fhe. to the managersent of he" Fost indepen: mans e lepen- with the southers read for the withdrawal of extra trains, & } | Less interest on bonds, &c., at Sper cent....... 640,000 —Leaving 9 per cent on $6,000,000 stock. | ‘The company on payment of interest on bonds negotiat ed wil be entirely free of floating debt, and actually stands in better posiwon than it bas been for years when the stock Was standing at 95 per cent. The above calculation of receipts for 1858 would be at the rate of $40,000 falling off per month. ‘Thi very liberal, so far, for vanuary and February, The receipts are much ahead of this estimate, [he re- ceipts for February will not show over $15,000 falling off.
