Cusilous Letter by Mr. Fitzgerald Tasistro. 10 THE EDITOR OF THS HERALD. New Yonx, April 6, 1850, ‘The occurrences which are transpiring at this moment 4m Ceptral America, foreshadowing as they unquestionably do, & wettled purpose on the part of England and France to pursue a line of p licy utterly antagonistic of American interests im that quarter of the world, would seem to rende the publication of the facts I am about to submit peculiarly @ppropriate. Towards the Jatter part of May, 1856, a few gentlemen met at the table of Count Sartiges, the representative of the Imperial government of France at Washington, as in- ited guests, to partake of his hospitality. The party, with one single exception, was composed of foreigners—repre- sentatives of various European governments and their secretaries—the writer of thia,then cccupying an important and confidential position in the Department of State, veing the only American citizen present. This occurred shortly after the recognition of Padre Vijil as the representative of Walker’s government in Nicaragua, by President Pierce, in direct opposition, I may add, to the expressed wisbea of Mr. Marcy, who etubbornly refused to assist at tbe presentation. Count Sartiges had just returned from Europe, in not the very best humor either with our government or our institutions, and as the conversation Daturally turned upon Central Americanaffairs, he at oace proceeded to expectorate bis spleen, by denouncing our foreign policy us a kind of cowardly brigandage, and oar Datiovality as a blot upon the eecutcheon of modern civili- zation, All present, with the exception of Baron Gerolt, very goon joined the French Minister in his wanton at- tacks upon the Amorican character, stigmatizing both tho President and the Secretary of State by the vilest and ost opprobrious epithets, openly declaring at the samo time, that ‘‘the bandage had at last fallen from the eyes of European governments, and that the hour of retribu tion was close at band, when a blow would be struck sgainet American presumption on this continent, which ‘Would puta etop at once and forever to their miserable system of petty plunder,” and a great deal more to the same purpose and effect. Oa the following day I prepared an article for a pa- Per published in Baltimore, setting forth the hos- tile intentions of foreign governments towards the United States, as illustrated and exemplified by the insolent conduct of their representatives at Wash- ington, urging upon our statesmen in power the expediency of enforcing the Monroe doctrine in all its minutest bearings and rantifications, as the surest means to prevent future complications with Great Britain and France. In that communication I also took occasion to comment, in terms of severest censure, upon the general eeportment of Count Sartiges, without, however, making the slightest allusion to the circumstances which had pro- vol my strictures. This article appeared on the 80th of May. Throvgh the malicioasness, or it may be love of mischief, of some clerk in the Department of State, who forwarded a copy of the same to every foreign Minister in an envelope of the department, and with the official tea) of the department attached to it—baving previously ‘appended the rnitiais of my name to the article—Count Sar- ges was made yzant of the fact as to the authorship; ‘Whereupon he is said to have clamored a gorge deployce for reparation or his passports, This greatly disconcert- ed the Secretary of State, who, not being prepared, as he himself stated, for a quarrel with that irrascible person- age at that particalar moment, very kindly intimated to the undersigned that bis withdrawal from the Department of State would very materially facili- tate an amicable adjustment of the impending difficulty. ‘The bint was taken, as a matter of course, and the under- Bigned bad to abandon a position which he had occupied to the acceptance of several successive administrations, in order that tbe wrath of the slanderer of our institutions and our country might be appeased. Any other govern- ment would have stamped its approval of the act by im- mediate promotion. AbG now mark thesequel. The blow threatened against American interests oo this continent on the memorable occasion alluded to, has actually been struck. The warn- ing contained in the articles whic) ler the benign aus. pices of Mr. Pierce’s administr@ion, robbed the under- Signed of position which he had toilea for years ta render fnalienable from him, has been deplorably verified, Pie agra the conquering Belly, with his caravan of scientific barpier, taken possession of tho bone of conten- tion, Alreacy bas Great Britain, through her wily and iwscrutable diplomatic pilgrim, given the most etupendous dodge to our confiding officials both at home and abroad, and cecured a coptroliing influence on the Isthmus. Already bave the authorities of the effete republics of Cen- tral America laid violent hands upou the property of American citizecs, and driven the rightful owners from the country at the point of the bayonet, and unless the Most stringent measures be adopted to remedy the errors of we weakest und most temporizing admivietration that ever sought to impend the onward progress ot American freedom, Europe will in afew months obtain complete ascencancy in Central America. It would be wrong, however, to hold Mr. Buchanan re- sponsible for a state of things which is wholly to be at- tributed to the bungliug menagement of our foreign reia- tions by bis immeviate predecereor. Asa general thiog, nothing could be more humiliating to American pride than the line of policy which bas been puraued by these later Presidents in their interviews with the re- Ppresentatives of foreign governments. Persons residing @t a distance from Washington, and unacquainted wit the mysteries of diplomatic intrigue in that sinful city, can form no conception of the sickening com- promises of the nation’s dignity on the part of those whore duty it is to uphold our rights apd to ad- ‘vance our interests. although it is a well known fact tha the persons entrusted with diplomatic missions to this country are genera'ly men ot inferior calibro, both mentally and morally considered—the United States’ being looked ‘upon sort of Van Dieman’s Land for the fast men of the diplomatic world—altbongb, with very few exceptions, hatred of our institutions and hostility to our progress are too frequently made an indispensable qualification for the poet. Vet theeo lively people are treated with as much aycopbantic defereoco by our rulers a3 if our national ex- jatence depended oa their favor and good will, This rule of conciliating foreign Powers by every species of degrad ing concessions, never was carried to such an atrocious extent as vy Mr, Pierce’s administration. Witness the re- cognition of Marcoleta alter bis ignominious expulsion from Waabington by the truly patriotic Edward Everett. Tris weakness of Messrs. Pierce and Marcy was so well understood by these arrogant foreigners, that whenever the occasion arose for enforcing a principle of internation- al law, or for demanding redress for wrongs committed upon our citizens abroad, the attempt to do cither was geverally attendea by a grovelling surrender of what had at first been demonstrated to be our right, and a perfect succumbing to their insolent cictation. It is to be hoped that when the time shall have arrived for selecting a now map to fill the Presidential chair,a pledge to carry out the principles of resistance to every species of interfe- rence in the affairs of this Continent by foreign Powers will be peremptorily exacted. 1, FITZGERALD TASISTRO, Supreme Court—Chambers, Before Hon. Judge Roosevelt. THE MARRIAGE OF THE MUTES. Apri. 6.—N. Denton Wilkin and Nehemiah Denton vs. Louisa A. Denton.—This was a motion by defendant to set asidea judgment. The suit was brought to set asidea post nuptial settlement on the ground of fraud, and the facts, as stated by Mr. Cram, counsel for plaintiff, are of romantic interest:—The plaintiff, Nehemiah Denton, adeaf mute from his birth, was left an orphan in 1838 by the death of bis father, and shortly after, at about the age of eight years, became a pupil in the New York fostication for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb, where he re. mained until the month of July, 1852, when he was mar- Tied, at the age of twenty one years, to Louisa A. Frisbie, (also a deaf mute,) an assistant matron at tho institution, who wasa widow of nearly double his owa age. On his reaching twenty-one years of age, the said Denton became entitled absolutely, under the will of his maternal grand- father, the late Nehemiah Denton, of the city of Brooklyn, to a large personal estate, amounting to upwards of one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars. Immediately after the marriage the deaf mate went to visit his wife’s relatives pear Geneva, and while there the Castle farm in that neighborhood was purchased for $23,000, and the deed was taken in bis wife’s name, instead of his own, ‘The complaint charges that from the time of his arrival at Geneva he fell under the entire control of his wife's rela- tives, who immediately took possession of him and of bis Property, appoioted thomeolves bis agents, made gifts of ‘valuable portions to themecives, and 20 managed it that within two years after his marriage all his property was aquandered, and one of them caused the deaf mate, then pretended w be insolvent, to make an assigament to him- nelf, for the benefit of creditors. The complaint charges that the first act of fraud committed was the taking of the deed of the Castle farm in the name of the wife, iuatead of the deaf mute, and cought to bave it set aside. An assign ment hat been made of the canse of action to N. Denton Wilkin, Denton’s cousin, for the benefit of himeelf aud children. The jndgment sought to be set aside directed a conveyance of the farm by the wife, to be beld under these truete, The matter was further adjourned to Murs- day, at one o'clock.

Burton.—This ac- tion is brought by plaintiff as assignee of James Canol upon an alleged contract entered into between the defend. ‘ant—the weil known actor and theatrical manager—aud James Canoll, whereby Canoll agreed to perform as an actor in Barton's theatre during the fall and winter soa- sons of 1868 and 1869, which plaintiff avers com- menced about tho Ist of Septomber last, and will end on the Ist of Juno next, embracing a poriod—as to theatrical representations—of about forty woeks; the detendant agreed to pay Mr. Canoill twenty- five dollars per week. Tn pursuance of such agreemoat Mr. Canoll commenced to perform at the defendant's theatre on the 30th of August—the opening night of that Beason, and continued to perform for four or five weeks then next ensuing, when the defendant broke up and dis continued the rmances, avd has not resumed them gince, and has from thence refused to pay the salary to Mr. Canoll. He claims $471, The defendant denies gon- erally these allegations, ‘Tho cage was called on for trial this morning, whon the defendant's counsel moved for a postponement on tho ground of the absence of a material witness, The Court granted the motion, and the case was sot down for next Tuestay, ‘This will be an important jesue to the members of tho oo romney hen ete tho witnesses present ‘were the irreaiatibie Jobn Brougham, Mr, Managoi @f Nibio’s and othors, ft Apc sf NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1859.—TRIPLE SHEET. ‘The Labor Mevement.

The recent strike of tbe watermen ou the Morris Canal for ap increase ol freight prices has, as was anticipated, resulted ip trouble, Ia this city everything is quiet, but the boats are tied up in the levels above the inclined plane exiending to Orange street, their o rs awaiting the re- sultot the strike, Tbe strikers bi held auother meet jog at Bein’s, in the Sevench ward, and decided to hold out in their posnion, The Superintendent of the canal, Mr. Talcott, who was in the city at the time, at- tempted to get admittance into the meeting to endeavor to effect 2 comgromige, but was denied, the meeting also re- fusing t0 appowt a committee of couference with the di- rectors of the company. Yesterday afternoon a force ot police under Captain Harrison wevt np the canal in a boat by request of the Superintendent, who had sept it up to test the intentions of the strikers. The police accompa- nied it as far a8 Bloomfield, but no difficulty was mvt. Some of those using boats are willing to pay the advance. while others are unwilling to subtit to any increase of the rates. In Paterson the affair has assumed a more serious form. The Guardian ways that tbe canal is entirely blocked with boats, and none are allowed to pass or repuss. Mr. Samuel Ryereon, of Pompton, bad engaged to deliver a lot of lum- Der in this city (Newark), and come here to receive and deliver it; upon fading it did vot arrive, he followed the line of the copal until near Paterson he saw hig lumber boat blocked with the rest. The captain was disposed to proceed, but waa not allowed by about 150 men, who were on guard for the strikers. As Mr, Ryerson was about to extricate his boat be saw several persons endeavoring to sink ber, with others, and upon his resisting, a regu- Jar row commenced, whereupon Mr, R. sent for the Mayor, who, with a number of officers, proceeded to the scene of the riot, and after parley, ordered the crowd to disperse. It was found impossible to prevent the blocking by the boats, aod the canal still remains impassable, One rioter by the name of George Rafferty was arrested, who bad been engaged in sinking the boats, and he was lodged in jail, Mr. Ryerson was struck in the face with a stone and had five or six teeth knocked out; he was algo struck on the head and somewhat injured.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD, In your paper of to-day you publish a letter from Ha vana, stating that my case has been again called up in the Real Audiencia, the highest tribunal in Cuba, Tho statements of your correspondent are true, that after { had had three decisions in my favor I declined to bame a substitute counsel because of the difficulties and danger to which [ would have exposed the counsel {1 pointing him, when his predecessor had been monavod with imprisonment, and the Judge, Senor Mostra, theea- tened with banishment, and whea so many other Judges had suffered for baving’ decided the cago in my favur. Your correspondent is atso woll informed in stating that an ex ficio counsel for my defence had been named, in the pereon of Mr. Azcarate, the son-in law of Mr. Feaser, one of the parties who was benetittes by the expropriation of proverty belonging to me, and which had been appraised attbe ronnd sum of $250,000, according to certificate . now in my possession, and for all of which I have not re ceived a single cont, as neither have I for other oxpro priations of my property made to benefit the Conch: Jonds. But from the latest intelligence I have received from Havana, 1am induced to believe that thus far the private relations of Mr. Azcarate bave not mflaeaced him to adopt a dishonorable course, for his conduct tn the de. fence has been as impartial and as courageous as it could have been in any other similar cage. Don Manuel de Armas has beon named as judge (juez ponente) in my caso in the Royal Audience, and I am com pelled to adopt this public means to protest against the Appointment of this person, as I have no other mode hore of doing it.

The general reproot of pot being united, often intimated to the Italiaa patriots by the foreign press, has produced some good ef fect. A nation of 24,000,000 cannot fail to succeed in achieving their independence should they be really united, But ami‘et the general enthusiasm and the singnine hops in which the Italians are w iadulye, there isa drawoack; anv. this is the French alliance.

Diplomatique, Paris, for the New York Heratp.) ‘This treaty, to which has been given the name of the plenipotentiaries who concluded it, is more than derogato- ry tothe Monroe doctrine—it almost annuls it. It is entitled ‘Convention between the United States of Ameri- ca and her Britannic Majesty for facilitating and protect. ing the construction of a sbip canal between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and for other purposes.’”” ‘We quote in full the first article, as it defines perfectly the extent and meaning of the convention, It is thus worded. The governments of the United Statesand Great Britain here. by declare that neither the one nor the other will ever obtain oF maintain Jor itself any exclusive oontrol over the sald abip caval; agreeing that nelther will ever erect or maintain any fortifications commanding the same, or in the vicluity taereot; ‘oF occupy, Or toriity, or colonize, or aseume or exorcise any dominion ‘over Niesragua, Costa Kies, the Moagulto coast, or any partof Central America; nor willeither make use of any protection which either affords, or may afford, or any alliance which either has, or may have, to or wih apy State or people, for the purpore : erecting cr maintaining ayy such fortition: tions, or of occupying, fortifying, or culonizing Nicaragan, Joata Rica, the Mosquito coast. or any part of Ventral ameri- ca, or of sesuming or exercising dominion over the same; nor will the United States or Great Britain take advantage of any Intimacy, or use avy alliagce, connection, or latluence that either may poessss with any State or government through whose territory the said canal may pass, for the puroose of acquiring or ho ding. cirectly or indirectly, for thy citizens or subjects of the one, any rights or advantages In regard to com- merce or navigation through the said cansl, which ebali not be offered on the same terms to the citizens or suvjects of the r. The United States, in renouncing like Great Britain to agsume or to exercige any dominion over Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Mosquito coast, or any part of Central America, renounces impiiciliy the Monroe doctrine. It will not be forgotten that tbis doctrine denies in an absolute manner the rigbt of European intervention in the affairs of the American contnent. Now, the Claytou-Bulwer treaty expressly establishes thie intervention. Furthermore, it does not limit this to Great Britain, for it is said in article 6-— The contracting every State with w fo enter into stipulations with them aliallar bave entered in o with each otber, Nothing could be more clear. There is no diplomatic precedent more formal to invoke against the pariizang of non-interventiou. It naturally follows from the engagement taken by the United States and Great Britain, “to exercise xo dominion over any part of Central America,” that these Powers mean t) accord their protection to that part of the Ameri- can continent against every outsite aggression. From thia springs the incontestable legitimacy of the recent in- terference of the Britigh navy against Watker and hie pi. rates. It is vow understood why the sigoers of the Rivas convention tdvk shelter bebind the Clayton Bulwer treaty. England shows to day that she takee things seriously. treaty was a very delicate negotiation. t was no easy matter to lead the Cabinet of Washington to abandon in some degree the Monroe doctrine, and to thus expose themselves to the expiosion of popular indignation, In our opinion the Cabinet acted prudently. As we have already remarked, in circumscribing the intervention of Greut Britain witnio the pontical limits of Ceutral America it has removed this intervention from the Gulf of Mexico, ‘The Clayton Bulwer treaty cannot hinder the Unuted States from extending themselves to the northern frontier of Guatemala, and from extending their exclusive rule over the Gulf. ewe advantages aro quite as valuable as those of the Monroe doctrine. In proceeding to the exchange of the ratifications of this treaty the English plenipotentiary mado a deciara- tion in which it isstated that her Britanuic Majesty did not understand that the engagements taken in this con- vention wore applicable to the settlement that she pos. sessed in Honduras, neither to the dependencies of that settlement. Mr. Clayton replied in @ memorandum, with a brevity dry enough:— ‘The declaration of sir H. L. Bulwer was received by me on the 20th day of June, 1850. In reply, ¥ wrote him my note of the 4th of July, acknowledging that [ understood British Hon- duras was not embraced in the treaty of the 19h day of April last, butat the same time curefully declining to aifirm or deny the ‘British Ute in their settlement or its alleged dependencies, ‘The difficulty which arises hore proceeds from the em ployment in the treaty of the expression ‘ Ceutral Ame- rica.”’ The precise limits of Central America have never been fixed. Mr. Clayton proposed in a subsequent des- patch, addresced to Sir H. L, Bulwer, to fix them clearly, on the first opportunity, in a conventional article.” Tn the meantime, to the great displeasure of the United States, England majptains her rights upon what she calls Briteh Honduras, She has a position on the Isthmus which apy day may be a eerious obstacle to American rojects upon Central America. The people of the United States know that. Their orators take caro to repeat them to the people. They have submitted to, rather than ratified, the Clayton-Balwer treaty. They are indignant that any right should have been recognized to the Evgiish—whom they derisively cail Britishers—to meddle in the affairs of the New World. Nothing is easier than to operate upon this irritable feeling of an exclusive patriotism—impetuons, shuddering at the simple mention of England. It is an animosity ever ready to burst forth. Relations of interest between the two countries must be very powerful to be able 0 exist in spite of this fraternal hatred. ‘There is a man in the Senate of Washington In whom is manifested faithfully enough the exaggerations of the patriotism of the American radicals and their forgetfulness of notions of justice and injustice. This man is the Hon. 8. A. Douglas, Senator from Illinois, He followed, it ie said, formerly, manual occupations He was a cabinet maker, Democratic institations early de- veloped his navural eloquence, It is unpolished, often commonplace, but full of vigor and of that vehemence which carries away popular assemblies. His appearance exhibits the habits of his youth. Notaing in his short ata- ture would loud any one to the conclusion of his value, We acknowledge that we wore greatly surprised the firat time that we had the honor to be introduced to him at Waeh ington. Sch as he is, Mr. Douglas has serious chances of be- coming Presideot of the Union. He has just made a tour through the States to prepare his candidature, Ho is a Partizan of slavery, That does not in reality displease too much the great cities of the North, that are enriched by the South, and are their counting houses.

For weeks back the attention of the fancy and the pa- trons of the ring has been directed acroes the water to Tom Sayers, the Champion of England, a8 the future fountain bead of all great matches; but something is now leaking out in this city which promises to change the ob- jects and places of attraction, On Tuesday of this week Tem was to have fought in the London Circuit Bill Benja- min for $1,000 and the championship of England. The result, of course, cannot be known here till some time next week, or later; but Tom’s previous prowess and Bill’s pre- viour cowardice leave)!!!» room to doubsof theresult.

Close on the heels of Heenan, Aaron Jones, his trainer in the Morrissey fight, sends on his challenge and bis gold to Loncon, and cluitns another trial of strength aad ecienes with the gallant Tom. All this uadaratoot, ‘be present romors of a fight between Jones and Heenan have considerably impaired the appearaoce of consistency. The Clipper, evidertiy in the secret, bat unwitling tolet it out just yet, as Jones 18 ally expecved in the city, says:—L[a tho mesbime, while Sayers is atiending to certain parties a home, those on this 8ig® might improve the time by having ‘wm go” among themselves. Mr, Jones seems anxious fo ® Oybt, and Mr. Heenan wants agother ‘shy’? with some booy. Cannot these two big ’uns make some “ little arrangement” for a contest together? They would max» a much better match with each other than with Sayers, who is greatly below them in height and weight. Neither of them can reasonably expect to “get on”? with Sayer for a year at least, and before the expiration of that tin they could bave ® mill here, aod have ample time to pre pare for ap excnrtion toLoncon. Tom Sayers is an “appl of discord ;”” Mi Heenan and Joues have each an petite for that apple.

Stranger things than this have happened, ‘There need be vo covering over the matter; the fact is, rimply, thet two men in this country have challenge the frame map ip enother courtry. Heenan of the two sent the firevchallenge. Jones bopes that Sayers will be les busivess like then he hag been hitherto, and chat he will pass by thore who precede him in application for a Oght, simply on toe ground that as Sayers had whipped him twice before he might give him the chance to retrieve his fume. Tom Sayers is no fool. has too well and too often battered to be little else than a receptacle for hard facts, Tom will, therefore, copciude to continue his business order, and serve the firet that comes.

Tom is not quite unchangeable in bis corporeal map, aod all these bard struggles of from three to six hours uninterrupted fighting—with only now and again thirty seconds rest—is sure to waste and certain to tell agaivst him in time. In every way the smbiet is viewed, Aaron has got to stand his turn with yers. Heevan’s friends speak this way, and logically conclude that time and trouble would be spared if Jones would fight Heenan bere. If Jones should whip Sayers he is, as vic- tor, bound to fight Heenan afterwards, for tho Benicia Boy’s challenge is to Tom Sayers or his conqueror. Jones is dai y expected fu the city, and on his arrival it is conf- dently reported that Heenan will chaliengo him. Tom Sayers’ friends make a kind of claim for au arrangement of this sort, They see no reason why the aspirants, Hee- nan and Joves, should not settle their pluck avd endurance question here, aad then the best man afterwards go and fight the Engl'sh champion, There will be a fight, any- how—a regular ropes and stakes, gold and belt, or a “rough and tumble,”?

The Post Office RemovaleThe Fire at the Suffolk Flour Miil—A Good Old Custum RevivedeThe Hancock Man- sion=New Line of Steamers Between Boston and Savan- naheTie Breach in the Water Works, dic., dic. ‘The Post Office removal is still the absorbing theme of conversation here, though the enthusiasm of Mr. Capen’s opponents seems to be somewhat dampened. As yet, there bas been but one side of this question made public; Mr. Capen and his friends have been wise enough to re- main silent, though perhaps if the whole were known, pub- lic opinion would be changed. The merchants and capi- talists of Boston are sui generis, unlike those of any other city in the Union. Public convenience, when placed in the scale agsivat private intereets and preconceived notions, weighs nothing. Now, it is an indisputablo fact, tnat twice within a few years efforts have been made to locate the Post Office soath of State street. The first time a plan war set on foot to purchase the large building at the cor- ner of Tremont street and Montgomery place, aod the eecond vime Lo eecure the Pratt estate, in Summer street; bown of which locations are further from Siate streot than the preeent site selected by Mr. Capen; and yet neither of these attempts met with serious opposition; nay, more, were advocated by the very men who are now pushing the crusade against Mr. Capen, and precisely the same arguments that have been brought forward by Mr. Capen were ueed by them; bat the case is different now, and why? Becauge these mercantile nabobs of State street were bot consuited. The amiable editor of the Courier, who followed Co!. Schouler, of the Bee, at the great meeting on ‘Change, is sorely’ exercised in mind because the Bee and the New York Eleratp favored their reavers with the letter of Postmaster General Holt to the committee, aud gives veut in righteous indignation at what be conceives to be a breach of courtesy. As the article appeared on the first day of April, it was cansidered a good joke. vie a singular fact that not an active representative of apy of the large mercantile interests has taken a pro- m’hebt position ip this_ movement, and it is believed that if the location was to be decided bya ballot very few would yote iu favor of its being returned to the old quar- ters. There is a mystery about the origin of the fire at ths Suffolk flour mils; had the wind been as strong as,the night previous, the entire block of stores mast have been destroyed, inciuding the old Eastern Exchange Hotel, which is now used as an elevater, and in which are over one hundred thousand bushels of grain. The custom that used to exist years ago of “ wetting a new sign,” is being restored in a somewhat diferent shape. Last week Messrs. French, Fuller & Co., one of the lsrgert wholesale grocery firms in this city, on tho occasion of entering their new store, in State street block, gave a magnificent entertaiament to about tnree hundrod invited guests; the affair was one of the most pleasing novelties of the season.

The Illinois Contral will probably show a decline for the month of about $8,000, and the other Weetern roads will showa corresponding diminution of traffic. The fact is mainly due to the stato of the country roads, which prevents grain being taken to the railways. It must be remem- dered, in considering this decline, that the redustion of ‘working expenses on many roads will counterbalance the falling off in gross receipts, and that companies which hayo really been honestly managed for the past year are actually in a better condition than they were last March. Roads which bave undergone a thorough reorganization, ‘fas some of the Western roads have, are earning more money now than they did when their receipts were con- siderably larger. The bear jobbers of the Stock Exchange, however, continue to hainmer the Western stocks, and prodict further heavy decline. Thoy were as anxious to-day to sell Michigan guaranteed at 39 for future delivery as they were a fow days since to sell the same stock at 49. Thoy wore aided to day by the rumors in reference to the Cea” tral and the Erie, It seems that not only has the Central succeeded in securing tho bulk of the Western business with Now York, but it has made arrangements for doing a | largo busines between the Wost and Boston likewise, ‘The announcement of the drst defeat caused the Presi tent of the Erie to publish a rather lachrymose compiaint; the second statement is spid to have of whe necessity of reducing the to $5.

What benefit the Erie will derive from carrying passengers at a loss remains to beseen. Among the Western s:ocks the most active were Michigan Southern ; uaranteed, which was sold dowa to 89, seller’s option—a decline of one per cent. As very erro- ‘neous statements are appearing in some of the papers with regard to this company, and as the official report will not be out till next week, it may be worth while to slate that the company has, to meet its flouting debt of $1,2C0,000, $800,000 of its own second mortgage bonds ‘and $600,000 Detroit and Toledo bonds. Kock Island was also active: the bears are confident that it will sell at 45 before long, and they are sel'ing it eagerly for fatare de- livery, Toledo ig quiet and neglected. Among the roads which have not been attacked by the bears, and are steadily improving in prises, may be mention- ed Panama, which is dog a very large business; Hudson River, which earned during the past six mouths four per cent on ils capital; Harlem . pre- ferred, which promises to be an active stock at advaneing prices; Stonington, which has advanced fif- teen per cent within a short time.

We have to note an increase in the | receipts of beef cattle during the past week of 739 head, which, however did not tend to bear down prices, in consequence of the limited supply of beef in the hands of butchers, who were compelled to turn out en masse in order to obtain a saffi- ciency for the demand for present consumption, The total number on sale atthe Washington yard was 3,654 head, about half of which changed hands yesterday at prices fully as high as the quotations of tast week. The receipts at the Washington yard came chiefly by the Hudson River Railroad, and 669 head were from Illinois, 645 do. from Ohio, 360 from Iowa, 250 from Kentucky, and 620 from this State.
