‘rom California and from Europe; our banks _ have a very strong specie reserve, and nothing c@arunhas been made upon any of them, Dividends are as large as, and in many cases Aarger than, usual, and are paid up promptly. ‘Our trade, wholesale and retail, during the ‘Year must have been exceedingly profitable to the merchants, and we suffer now rather from \j 2 fear of what isto come inthe future than from our actual experiences of the present. We have really as much money in hand as ever. In this condition of things the people of New York naturally seek for relief and relaxa- ion in their favorite amusements—musie, the drama, exhibitions of paintings, seulpture, &c. ' &¢. We find that the fine art galleries are very |" liberally patronized, that the theatfes are doing well, and yet thut the Opera House, which is } par excellence the fashionable resort of New Yorkers, remains closed. And in spite of all the political agitation that prevails, there is stil avery large class of our citizens who are veady and willing to support the Opera if it is well done. That this latter condition will ' tbe fulfilled there can be no doubt, We have plenty of Opera singers, and good ones, with 4" us. The associated Italian artists form a full it and excellent Opera company, directed by an Italian composer and conductor, and the ques- tion now is, what will the proprietors of the -Academy do to encourage Signor Muzio and Lis artists to attempt a short season? The only |’ feasible plan that occurs to us is a resort to the old fashioned subscription system, which should \ ‘be commenced by the proprietors of the Aca- 1], demy. With a moderate sum pledged in ad- vance, the artists would be justified in giving two or three performances a week during three weeks, as a sort of experimental season. If the proprietors of the Academy will make an effort we are quite confident that the general public willsecond it. We call upon the direc- tors and stockholders of the Academy to co- operate with the artists in an attempt to re-es- tablish the Opera in New York. NEWS FROM THE STATE CAPITAL, ‘Rush of Politicians and Wire Pullers at Albany—The Attitude of the Contending Parties—The Democracy Looking on with Indifference—Littlejohn Nomina- ted for the Speakership, &c., &c. Aunany, Dec. 31, 1860. Every train this morning has brought a load of wire «pullers to this Mecca of the Empire State to operate upon the members in the sharply fought contest for Speaker. Greeley, Dudley Field and Opdyke are here from New ‘York, and have rolled up their sleeves for Robinson. The two contending armies are now in battle array. The leaders, aid-de-camps and sappers and miners are hard at 1 work, strengthening their fortifications and preparing for the last grand rally to-night. Littlejohn’s \ forces, outside of the members, number ten -toJ one for Robinson; in fact, the former seems to’ have the politicians with him, every man at ‘ work as if for life and death for their standard bearer, and bave taken the cue from Littlejohn’s speech, that he is a persecuted man, and are rallying the members upoa that issue, laying great stress upon the point that Gree Jey’s attack upon him is only a part of his plan to kill off Weed and get him out of the way. This is, in fact, their strongest point, and they well know how and when to ‘use it. Weed keeps himself under cover, but is in con- stant communication with the members and outside 2 Workers. ‘The fact of his keeping away from the hotels ' indicates that he bas no fear of the result, for it is his s custom when he is in a doubtful contest—in one that he has fears of being beaten—to en- } . ter the field and mix among his soldiers, encouraging and urging them on with his counsels. The pce, yoo reg et age) have found their way here from all sections the State, working for Lit nn, at once settles the question that the fight is a close one, ‘and that Robinson is a foe worthy of their steel. ‘The tide has unquestionably been setting all day ‘ towards Littlejohn, and his friends have been betting two to one that he will be Speaker, and are growing more ; confident every moment. Immediately after the arrival of Greeley the friends of Robinson went iuto caucus at ‘the Delevan, to compare notes and mark out their course of action, this evening. It has been rumored that they intend to keep out of the caucus and unite with tho r democrats and elect Robinson. It is understood that Greeley counsels this as their last resort, but I doubt if can carry their followers with them. Greeley’s ad- vice in this respect will not be followed, let him urge it ever 80 strong, unless Opdyke, Campbell and others of their standing consent io it. With the innumerable schemers and politicians at work on both sides there is no telling what an hour may bring forth, and I am pre- Win to see such demonstrations and counter movements w he tine = sane Peepregmen = — o our 18 evening, that will astonish the generals and captai of the several camps. There is a warm time ahead, the fate of the party, the election of a United States Senator, and the division of the spoils depend in a measure upon the result of to-day’s labor. ‘The democratic members are quietly looking on, evi- 4 dently in a happy state of mind over the foaming and sur ‘ing of the republican factions, ready to jump into h at any moment that they can see a chance a serving their country and State by driving the two contending armies into that position which will separate and divide the republican party into two ppoeing ing fac- tions, amd succeed in plating them in that attitude which the cohesive power of the spoils under Lincoln h or no amount of patent political cement will ever make them stick together agu: one of the ‘Sate officers, from the Governor down, is at work for Robinson. ‘There is an extensive Preparation ing on amongst the inhabitants of this city to spend New Year's day in ac- cordance with the most ap ove Knickerbocker style. “all of the olden time.’” sleighing is excelient, ‘and the merry jingle of the bells is quite a contrast to’ the troubled condition of the politicians, who are quarrelling over the Speakership. ‘The new republican pape ‘ise in this city, pre- maturely developed hye Age? lication of Mr. Carroll's tus, is to take form this week in the enlargement Aalomon under the title of the Republican States- ’ oon The pai x ones te anee by the Chitago plat- Torm intact and t Morgan and Campbell State policy. Aupaxy, Dec. 31~1:30 P. M. The republican caucus to-night has been a decidedly lively affair. The balloting at once revealed the fact that there bas been a great deal of brag and bluff played by the friends of Littlejobn thronghout the canvass, and their sixty votes that they professed to be sure of on the first ballot dwindled down to thirty-eight; nor did he gain upon that number until Mr. Robinson's address prevailed upon him to move the domination of Mr. Bingham, when the friends of the lat. ter gentioman, instead of returning the compliment by voting for Robinson, fell into the support of Littlejohn, and elected him, ‘The response that came up from the lobby at the an pouncement of the vote nominating Littlejohn revealed the fact that the array which annually gathers here were on band The resolution offered by Mr. Pierce, of Culster, de- claring the nomination of Mr. Littlejohn not an endorse ment of the last Legisiature, was received with hisses from all parts of the house and lobby. Littlejohn favor. ing the resolution secured its passage by acclamation. A nomination, however, under the circumstances, looks Like the political funeral of Littlejohn. Whilst the Convention was bulloting for Clerk, it Was announced that a despatch had been reovived stating that Genersl Scott had beon appointed Secretary of War by President Buchanan, This announce ment turned the Convention into a mass meeting, the members of the iobby and those in the galleries rose to | their feet and gave cheer after cheer, stopping for a mo. } ‘ment aud then breaking out with renewed zeal. This | hurricaue like enthusiasm held possession of the Conven- tion for nearly ten minutes, and it seemed as if those present could not express thoir delight at the nowe. In the tidst of the furor three groans were given for Buchanan; but in a moment or less, three hearty cheers were given for the President for appointing the hero of b— | battles. It was a long time before the caucus could be got into working order again.

Mr. Pierce desired to offer a preamble and resolu: tion, which he said he did in good faith and in the beat of spirit, in order to enable those gentlemen who had opposed the nomination of the successful candidate to support as the candidate for Speaker in the House to- morrow. It must be remembered that he aud others here had been elected on the direct issue of approval or disapproval of the Governor's vetoes, and had by their — of the Governor's policy and vetoes alone been elect ‘The preamble and resolution are as follows:—~ Whereas Certain measures of the last session of the Legislature were vetoed by the Governor and subsequent- ly passed over his vetoes; and whereas the people at the last election condemned these measures and sustained the vetoe; therefore, Resolved, That the republican members of the Assem- bly will, in'their official capacity, sustain the principles set forth in the veto messages of the Governor, and faith- fully carry out the decision of the people as expressed in this election. ‘This was greeted with applause aud hisses. Mr. Beaxnict regretted that this resolution had been of- fered, for it would oblige the members to inform them- selves in regard to every measure vetoed by the Gover- nor, or confine the voting to those who were members of the’ last Assembly. He believed that the motives of the Governor were pure; but while he approved of most of his vetoes, he could not commit himself unconditionally to his whole policy, as there was one measure which had been vetoed last winter Ne he should favor and sup- port this session. (Appla Mr. Fist could see a to the passage of the resolution. Mr. Larrexsoun thanked the gentlemen of the caucug for having by their votes — signified their disbeliet in the assertions that had been made that he had been influenced by corrupt mntives in any vote he had given last winter. He said here, as he had said elsewhere, that never in his legislative career had any person, di- rectly or indirectly, — ay ed him improperly in regard to any vote he had ever cast on this floor. He could see no reason for opposing the passage of this reso- lution, for he could not, after the explanations that had been made, consider it'as reflecting upon him, nor did he regard it as binding him to the views of the Gov- ernor or of any other individual. He hoped that the resolution would be unanimously adopted in order that republicans might malts atthis timC, when danger threatened the Usion and when their efforts were needed ‘outside the State as well as in. ‘The restiution was then unanimously adopted. Much excitement was occasioned about this time by the announcement that a telegranhic despatch bad been received stating that Gen. Scott had been appointed Sec- nae of War. thusiastic cheers were given for Gen, Scott for seve- ral minutes. A Vou—Three for Buchanan. Cries of “ No! No!

THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS. ‘The Democratic Assembly caucus was held in the Se nate Chamber at seven 0’clock. Mr. Darcy, of Kings, called the meeting to order, and nominated Holmes Odell, of Westchester, as chairman. ‘On motion of Mr. Webster, ‘J.

Robert Palmer was nominated for Speaker of the Senate, and Russell Errett for Clerk. ‘Tho democrats will reassemble in caucus to morrow to nominate officers for the Senate. The Missouri Legislature. St. Louis, Dec. 30, 1960. A special despatch to the Reputticon, from Jefferson City, states that Mr, Cooper, Commissioner from Alaba- ma, made a strong secession speech last night, in the hall of the House of Representatives. He did not believe, in commercial or industrial point of view, that the Southern States would be the losers in case of a disrup- tion of the government. He said the South dia not de. sire to reopen the African slave trade. His remarks were occasionally applauded. A meeting was then held in the Senate Chamber to con sider the suggestions of Mr. Cooper. On motion of Mr, Parsons, the late Breckinridge candi- date for Lieutenant Governor, John Heyer, Senator from Dent, took the chair. Mr. Parsons further moved that Col. Ballou, of Benton, be Secretary. Col, Ballou declined. He could’ not approve any mewsure tending to secession. He would stay in the Union until he was roreed out of it. There was yet hope that matters might be amicably adjusted A rerolution was adopted, stating that during the com- ing session of the Legislature they would express their opinions officially upon the questions vow distracting the Union, and furnish the Governor of Alabama acopy of such resolutions on the subject as the General Assembly may adept ‘The Arsembly meets to-morrow, Major Harris, Gen. Price aud Col. Ballou are most prominent as candidates tor the speakership, but it is considered doubtful whe- ther either ean be elected. The Republican urges that no secessionist should be ker, but urges the pasmge of an act at an ec the session calling @ convention of commis. sionors from the slave States at Baltimore, to state ex- plicitly their grievances and the aggressions of the North.

The increase of specie, though less, is really less than the fact—much of the gold im- ported being still uncoined. Taken asa whole, the statement must be considered a strong one, and a further indication of the wisdom of the policy inaugurated by the banks on 2Ist No- vember. We note an increasing ease in the money mar- ket. Paper of the highest grade passed to-day at 9a10 percent, and there was some inquiry for fair paper at 12215. The news from England by the Kangaroo is unexpectedly cheering. The English had received advices of our worst days here, and yet they send us, in return, intelligence of an advance in consola, breadstufls and cotton, and an unchanged money market. In foreign ex- change the business doing is limited, and prices tend downwards. After New Year it is expected that the market will mend. The market for railway stocks and bonds was more active to-day, and prices were universally higher. The chief favorites of the day were Ili- nois Central, which, from 68 at the opening, ad- vanced to 734% bid between the boards, and closed 75 bid. Erie was also considerably higher, and a general demand developed itself for all the specu- lative shares, There was a moderate inquiry for railway bonds also. Inthe event of a plethora of money here, the recent robbery of State stocks from the Department of the Interior at Washing- ton is likely to direct attention to first class rail- way bonds as the best investment of the day. This afternoon the market was strong, and closed steady at the following quotations:—United States 5's, 1874, 94 a 95; Virginia 6's, 78 a 44; Tennessees, 75 a 77; Missouri 6's, 70 a %; Canton, 14 a 15; Cumberland Coal preferred, 844 a %4; Pacific Mi n 85% a 86; New York Central, 76 Erie, 38% 29; Hudson River, 4434 a 45; Harlem, 4% a % do. preferred, 34% a 35; Reading, 36% a 37; Michigan Central, 50 a 44; Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana, 1434 a %; do. guaranteed, 33 a 4; Pavama, Ula 112; fllinois Central, 75 a %; Jalena and Chicago, 6744 a %%; Cleveland and Toledo, 30 31; Chieago and Rock Island, 324 a ¥: Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, 64% a 653s. The intelligence that the Bank of Commerce had taken the remaining $3,100,000 of the $5,000,000 of ‘Treasury notes offered for sale on the 28th impart- ed a cheerful feeling to financial circles. It need hardly be remarked that it is of vital importance, both in a national and in a financial point of view, that the credit of the United States be preserved unstained. It is therefore a fit subject of congratu- lation that the government is now in a position o meet both the interest on the public debt and the maturing Treasury notes. We trast that when Mr. Thomas requires any more money he will bor- row it more skilfully than he has borrowed these five millions, Even if civil war had actually broken out, the United States government onght o be able to borrow money in New York at seven per cent per annum—in an ordinary money market. It was Mr. Cobb’s aim always to give the most he could for money, and to borrow at the most inconvenient season; let it be that of Mr. Thomas to pursue the opposite policy during his sixty days of office. There are no farther developements in regard to the great robbery of State stocks from the Depart- ment of the Interior at Washington. The journals are full of theories, and Gov. Floyd has sent to Congress a very ingenious paper on the subject, the purport of which is that Russell, Majors & Waddell were losing money by their contract with the government, aud that it was true patriotism to TUESDAY, JANUARY 1, 1861. help them along—even by issuing illegal accept- ances. But nothing further is known as to the pros- pect of redeeming the stolen bonds, or as to the amount of the robbery. It seems almost certain that the stocks held in the Indian Trust Fund have been used for a long period to raise money. Some of the North Carolinas, advertised as having been stolen, are said to have been held by their present owners for more than two years. Under the circum- stances we are not surprised to learn that the leading brokers at the Stock Exchange have re- fused to buy or to deal in the State stocks which may have been the subject of robberies; it will be noticed that there was not a single sale of State stocks at the board this morning. People living in the country, who have invested money in this kind of property, ouglit to lose no time in making sure that their bonds have not been stolen from the government, and where there is the least room for doubt they should dispose of them without delay.
