Money Market.
The money market of this city may be said tt
be easy—for those who have what is considers
sufficient securities, that is, a man can borrow
money enough, if he has what is money to pledgt
for tho loan of it. For such security, money
indeed is seeking an investment, or rather money
is seeking a change in the form it has. Tho
monied men are pulling their feelers out cau
tiously. Having been bitten sadly, many nl
them, by the rage fur note shaving, when all sorts
of notes were shaved, provided the interest was
high enough, they have now rushed to the other
extreme of ultra caution, which, however, is
rapidly giving way to a confidence in sound
businodS transactions. This caution is a natural
rcsufilof the disposition that existed a year and a
half ago to run extreme risks, and when it gives
way, us it undoubtedly will to hand file business
paper, business will again flow in its natural
channels. The day is (ar off when monied men
will again discount any sort ol paper, provided
the interest promised is large enough,
I here is a great deal of capital with us now
awaiting an investment. Some of it is employ
ing itself in Treasury notes : some in State stock ,
and some in Bank slocks. As yet it does not to
any great extent seek those investments which
are likely to interest and employ the great masses
of the community, the middle and the laboring
classes, —but as it exhausts itself in stocks, it
will go into more practical operation. The man
ufacturing establishments of tho city and coun
try are yet in a very languishing stale lor the
I want of money, and the want of the demanded
means of raising money. Thus the laboring
classes have no sensible relief, though there is
now* no great actual suffering. Manufacturers,
the fact is, have in a great many cases taken to
farming, particularly in New England and New
York. Os building, there is but little going on,
for a city so large as ours. The up.town lots are
but lots yet, though there is an actual demand
lor dwelling houses lor tho accommodation of
people. As for the shops, and stores, their time
is not to come till May next. When capital
takes a turn to set tho springs of industry in
motion—to push forward onr Hail Roads, to
extend our city, to set tho workshops again in
motion, that is, when credit and confidence are
restored, the laboring classes will then have tho
benefit of llio easy money market, of which we
speak.
Exchange on London to day was 108 to 108},

The approaching resumption of specie pay.
ments by the banks of Pennsylvania, leading in
their train tho banks of tho South and West,
continues to operate favorably upon the Domes
tic Exchanges. In connection with this resump
tion, capitalists are also directing their attention
the the purchase of Southern and Western Funds
for the purpose of a temporary investment. When
the discount is great as on Mobile and Mississip
pi, the profit would be very large, but the capital
ists arc wary of their Funds, us the time ol re
sumption is considered very uncertain. For
New Orleans, Charleston, Virginia, Baltimore,
and Savannah Funds, there is some avidity.
The Nashvilje Whig of the 9th says:—Tho
Bank of Tennessee is checking at 10 per cent, in
Tennessee money,to which her doposites wc un

of the 11. States was checked for* few <!•»••»-te
lly V caiman, Woods & Co. at 10 p. ct. The
Planters’ Bank continues to check in small sums
at the same rate lor her own paper. All tho old
hanks are giving twelve months P. Notes on
Philadelphia for their papet; and it is probahlo
the new bank will fall into the same arrangement.
The brokets rales of Exchange have undergone
no change since Friday.
We learn by notices posted up in the old hanks,
that the practice of discounting notes by tho Ex.
change committee will be discontinued after the
Ist of August. All renewals thereafter must be
laid hofore the hoard.

City.
TuunsnAY Evening.
The sales were light today at the Exchange
Board. They were a little over 2300 shares of
nil sorts. United States Bank stock opened at
121 on ninety days. Tho cash price did not gel
higher than 120. The rate closed however at 120
on lime.
Tho North American Trust and Banking
Company is to go into operation, we presume, in
a few days, as the elections for officers have been
held. Wc see that Joseph D. Beers is the Presi
dent, Mr. Van Schaick the Vice President, and
Walter Mead Esij, the Cashier. Tho American
Exchange Banking Company has been organised
with a view to accommodate our merchants in
getting their distant paper done. When these
concerns get going, the ruinous tales on Mobile,
Natchez and Nashville will disappear, if they arc
conducted, as wo hope they will be, on proper
principles and with a view to benefit the cornmn
i uily. By tils by, talkt."£ of hanks, the brokers
are complaining that the Slate Bank in this city
should enter the market and buy up the Wes
tern Safety Fund money at 4 percent. Asa
class, they do not like the monopoly of exchange.
They cannot enter into competition with such a
monster, and bok with an evil eye on its doings.
How natural it is for us to find fault when our
interests are afl'ccted !—The brokers, however,
should remember that tho merchants are the
larger class of the two, and according to our
institutions the interests of the majority must
i first he consulted. The State Bank is mercifully
doing at 4 per cent, that which the brokers would
charge from §to 1 per cent. It is a sort of U.
8. Bank, whose sphere of action is the slate of
New York. It is precisely on the principle of
reducing the exchange and price of foreign hank
notes that we arc the advocates of a National
Bank. The good now done by tho State Bank
to the mercantile community, is therefore praise
worthy. Whether it has the right to deal in
notes ol other banks or not is of no consequence
to us.
Rail Road Contuaci's.— Wc understand,
i says the Columbia Tele-cope of the 21st inst.
that on Ibc recent visit to this place of the Presi

Columbia to Charleston, extending IVorn Me

'! the estimates of the engineers. When tho first
1 contracts were nfi'ered on this road, there was ve
ry little competition and few bidders. But with
the progress of the work, has sprung up a spirit,
which promises to carry it through with a hecom
_ ing zeal and energy. Our planters are coming
forward and taking contracts on the mo-t satisfac
>' lory terms. It has been demonstrated that our
) slaves are well calcula ed for this description ol

British Markets- drops, ,Vc.
Referring to the foregoing intelligence from
England, the New York Express of Thursday,
2, P. M.eays:—"The letters from the British
manufacturing districts are written in a more
cheerful tone, as we learn hy the packet to day,
many orders having been received from America,
which had set a great many laboring men to woik.
At Manchester, Leeds, and Leicester the most
decided improvement has taken place in the
American trade, and the manufacturers were be
ginning to lose sight of (he late difficulties in the
American money market, and speak now princi
pally upon the prospects of the country os to the
harvest, as the most influential aft’air to bo kept in
view.
W e see a good deni of apprehension expressed
among some of the intelligent British journalists,
as to the state of the crops, and the influence of
a failure upon the money market. The favorable
weather previous to the sailing of the packet has
relieved this apprehension, but not quieted it.
The failure of the wheat crop is an alarming ca
lamity to the British people.—The inference is
undeniable, from the fact of high prices in March
last, that the crop of last year was very deficient;
and the fact does not seem to bo denied bj the
agriculturists that the stock of grain to meet the
consumption up to the next harvest is exceedingly
small, and they do nut conceal their fears that,
ere the harvest is realized, prices will so rife as
to cause a largo influx of foreign corn. What
would follow if these fears were realized, wo know
full well; a large exportation of gold, unfavorable
exchanges, difficulty in procuring discounts, ami
general embarrassment, both agricultural and
commercial.

Asphalt*; of SeysseTlT”
Wo published yesterday an extract of a letter
from London, stating that a Company was about
to bo formed there for the putposo of supplying
the cities of the United Slates with the now pa
ving material which has been found to answer so
well in Paris and London. We now sec, by an
advertisement in the Philadelphia .17. S. Gazette
of yesterday, that the Company has been formed,
with a capital of £200,000, and a highly respec
table Direction. The Engineer of the Company
is William Strickland, Esq. of Philadelphia.
The object of the Company is declared to bo to
extend to the United States of America, the iwl
y«iu.igco i»r mu Afijumut* oi OeysKcll, for which
Mr. Claridge has a patent in England, where it
has been introduced under high patronage and
with decided success.
The employment of the Asphalte owes its ori
gin to the important discovery of an extensive
Mine (the only one possessing the same materials
ns yet known to exist) in Pyrimont, Scyssell, in
the department DcL’Ain, France, on the banka of
the Rhone, whore it is found in inexhaustible
abundance. The proprietorship of this Mine is
vested in a Company in Paris, who have granted
to this Company an exclusive privilege (or the
supply of the material to the United Stales.
Mr. Strickland, who has just returned to Phi
ladelphia from Europe, intends to take an early
opportunity of enabling the public to judge of
the efficacy of pavements made of the asphalte.
The Gazette states that Mr. Strickland has
brought home with him the model of a vessel
and its machinery, to be propelled by steam, with
a screw instead of paddle wheels. The screw is
placed in the bottom of the vessel, over the keel,
near the stern, and will propel the vessel at a rale
of from four to eight miles an hour, as exhibited
in experiments upon the Thames.— Halt. Ameri

A fracas occurred at St. Marks on Tuesday
evening last, which resulted in the death of
one person, and serious injury of several
others. The particulars as far as vve have
been able to nscorlain, it seems, are those, a

some remarks against a female of the place,
and for which the hands on board the Steam

INli ' v Voi,k a "“ Bata km ah.—The following
„ f u B8 e *|ions us a conespondont arc entiiled to
immediate consideration. The want ot a cum
’ fi »'t n Wo daily communication hot weon this city
’ Charleston, and other Northern cities, is
• seriously oxperienccil, pßrliculutly in winter,
when the influx of travellers from the North for
this city and the South, makes despatch as well
' ns comfort so desirable to the man of business
" a “d hie invalid. The popular route from Charles.
lon la the North, will probably ho the route via
W ilmington, which, when a rail rontl is cr-nshuct
ed Irorn Wilmington to Charleston, or even
Georgetown, S, C. will be accompanied with
little risk to the traveller. The boats, suggested
• by our correspondent, could leave fSavannah and
Charleston at such a lime as to make the voyage
by daylight, while no such coast ns that of N.
Carolina, or the dangerous Capo of Hattcras
■ would have to be passed. The Post Office Do
pattniunt nuvv pay $ 15,000 for the transportation
1 of the mail between this city and Charleston.
1 his sum could be given to the proprietors of
1 ; these Steam Boats, lor the mail would then he
expedited several hours. Its arrival, if the hoals
left early in the morning, would ull'ord the mor
i cantile community of hoth cities ample lima to
j answer loiters hy return of the boat. The cons
ycnienco to the merchants of the interior having
I business with both cities, would he great, and ho
j stripped ol that uncertainly of speedy convey
( ance, which a steam packet, but once a week
and transient boats now cause,
Tho scheme is feasible, and it rests with the
citizens ol Savannah to start n subscription hr
an enterprise, which will link us closer in coni'
municatiou, as we should he, with other commer

.fifty l ™ o mails in the year. Let ns show the

Dkau Sin—by publishing the following you
may perhaps prove instrumental in obtaining for
Savannah early next fall—
.l ilni/i/ communication vil/i. ,/VVw York, at an
outlay of only one hundred and twenty thou*
sand dollars.
Let a subscription list bo opened at once, to
purchase or have built, four Steam Bools, which
would enable us to run n boat daily from this to
Charleston, and from that city 1 believe there is
now an opportunity daily by Steam Boats to
New York direct, or by the way of Wilmington
or Norfolk.
Four suitable boats, I am told, could be put
on tho line, at an expense of not over thirty thou
sand dollars each—the mail contract could no
doubt ho had at ten thousand dollars, which
would boa fair interest on the whole investment,
and if the fare were reduced to three nr live del,
lars, there would certainly he passengers enough
to pay expenses.
With lour hoals wo might rely upon a daily
communication with Charleston, and each hoot
would have a spare day. in cither city, to dis.
charge and take in freight or to repair damages.
The chance for loss of life by shipwreck would
he velV small, ill (to* way 1 tmitum, to run tho
boats, for they would leave cacti place at tho
same hour in rhe morning, pass midway and ar
rive before night—which would give the passon
gers, in case of accident, certain relief in fifteen
hours, and if tho accident occurred in the first
part of the voyage they would ho relieved in
seven hours.

mington—to the Presidents and Directors
of tho Raleigh and Wilmington Rail Road
Company—to the Hotel Keepers there and
on the route to Portsmouth, Va., and Stage
owners on the same route—also, to Captain
Sutton, of the steam boat “Alabama.”
Tho undersigned, in behalf of himself and
oilier passengers of tho ill-fated “Pulaski,”
fortunately rescued from a watery grave, take
the earliest occasion after returning home and
recovering from the effects of their suffering
and exposure, to present their most grateful
thanks—and shall ever regard thorn as friends
of humanity—whoso kindness and sympathy
assuaged and relieved tho undersigned after
the perils and horrors of a dreadful shipwreck,
and who provided for them all the comforts
which charity and affection could diclatc.
Some of the sufferers, cast houseless on
•he inhospitable and barren shore, without
food and water, and almost wit hout raiment to
cover their sun-burnt and lacerated forms,
soon found these kind friends, among stran
i gers, ministering to their wants with untiring
benevolence. And if’ in this world the re~
i ward of good deeds is sometimes postponed,
, most surely will it crown the future destiny of
i those true Christians who literally clothed the

1 wounds of the afll cted. And to this highest
of all rewards the undersigned leave their ben
efactors, with the utterance of the warmest
thanks which gratitude can utter, or ccncvo
-5 lence receive.
’ To Captain Davis, however, ot tho schr.
• “Henry Catnerdon,” they feel constrained to
r acknowledge a high and imperishable debt of
gratitude. Ills arm, under Heaven, saved
them, after a prolonged and unutterably terri
, scene ol suffering, at a moment when despair
was fastening upon every heart, and physical
strength was sinking under the cravings of
1 hunger ami thirst. The stormy ocean, upon
1 which they had floated for nearly live days
and nights, in momentary (car ot death, still
’ rolling around and over them in its fury—and
’ followed hy the insatiate monsters of tho deep,
ready to devour them—nt tins awful hour,
I did the humane man come to their rescue, at

him, then, we offer our deepest and warmest

will ever speak his high and deserved eulr-gi

And as the night wore on, lay down their heads
To dream of words of love—embraces sweet,
And sounds of joy around their hearth stones
bright.
Some dream’d of whisper'd vows, and shed hot
tears,
As farewell tones rung through their hearts, and
some
Os sunny homes ne’er felt before—some dream’d
Fait visions of departed bliss, and lived
Throughout hours of dear delight again.
In pence
They slept!
Unheeded tusk'd the shivering waves;
Unheard the winds that sung around their course;
Unseen the prophet eye of heaven which gleamed
In every alar, nor cared they, in their dreams
For those dark banners which tho slumbering
storm
Sent forth to wave from night’s dim battlements.
They slept! and each low breath was culm and
soli,
And every heart-pulse with its tide of life
Rushed gently on, and Hushed the damask cheeks
Os those among the beautiful with hues
Os richer dye, and shed a calmer light
Around the brow of nge.
Aye sweet their rest—•
Oh debit! did the trump of judgment sound
To slait them from their dreams to hear their
doom,
When that wild crash split thru’ their achingrars,
Anil made a passage for the boiling waves
Through the wreck’d vessel’s midst.
Loud—loud tho shriek
Which burst from terror stricken hearts, and long
The s'lnnltaneons sob of woe, that boomed
And quivered o’er the rushing storm and waves.
Let a dirge go forth 1
For their sleep is past and their dreams are o’er,
They dream of their home and its vinos no more ;
Renealh the dark waters among tho dead,
On the drifting sands have they made their bed.
Let a dirge go forth !
For the wife with her eyes of love still blight
As she sunk in the billows that quenched tlnio
light--
For the babe whoso sleep on tho wave was riven
To yield up its life and awake in Heaven.
Lot a dirge go forth I
The aged as well as the young were there,
With their furrowed brows and their hoary hair';
Tho children of song and the sons of fame,
Rest where their graves arc unmarked by a name,
Lot a dirge go forth I
Let a requiem peal from those waves of doom
O’er the withered brightness of beauty’s bloom—
O’er the sounds of pcaco no longer spoken—
O’er tho hearts of lovo in rholr anguish broken.
ValhiM of Heaven !
Receive them, oh Father ! life’s storm is o’er!
Bid angels in safely each spirit woo—
i Where the chry.Mal streams from thy throne shine
bright,
, And glimmer to music from harps of light*

Baltimore, July 4, IS3B,
From the blew York Slur.
The Coronation of Queen Victoria.
A few days since,& all the United Kingdom
of'Grcal Britain urns in commotion, and eve,
ry part of tier happy islands resounded with
joy at the gorgeous ceremony which set’.led
ott her throne another female sovereign. ‘Now
universal England getteth drunk, and in her
happy inebriety, re-echoes with songs, as did
the Roman plmpire when Horace wrote.
‘Nunc cut bibcndutn, nunc pede libero
Pulsandi tellus!’
No 'half crownalion’ this, but a spectacle,
doubtless with which John Bull himself, with
all his taste for gorgeous display, was abun
dantly satisfied. But who, alas, now that the
famous chronicler of subtleties, Sir Walter
Scott, is no more, can he found capable of
giving to the public a taithful and minute de
scription of tbc imposing spectacle ! We
can think of hut one properly qualified—the
author of Phil ip Augustus.
Alas, the young and virgin Queen! how
little she knows of the toils, the pains, mays
imp the dangers to which her elevated situa
tion is exposed. Perhaps she lias tasted al
ready of some of the griefs instore for her;
the coldness of form, the stiffness of etiquette,
the necessity of repressing every emotion
which renders lovely the charming sex, the
lonely, solitary nature of her rank, paralysing
the free current of her soul. Happy it will
be, if pride and ambition alone arc her ruling
passions.
It is now many years since Eng'and has
known the sway of a female sovereign. But
ofull countries England lias best established
the truth that females can reign well and
wisely. Perhaps there may he something in
the chivalrous feelings for which the British
have ever been renowed, that may make the
. government of a female more agreeable to the
governed, and thus es course more ea«y for
herself. Certain it is, that under female soy-*
creigua England has made bolder s'rides in
power, literature, and wealth, nl the same tirno
that she has often suffered without a murmur
more despotic rule, than has ever been made
or suffered under kings in a correspond nig
state of society. Who ever telt more than
Elizabeth, the might, majesty, and glory of
regal stale ? Who ever exacted Iroin her
people and ministers a more deferential res
pect and compliance with her will] And
what sovereign ever left in the bosom of her
subjects a greater love and reverence 1 Her
strong mind and commanding spirit raised
England’s prosperity and tamo more than a
century, passed under the reign of such sove
reigns as proceeded her. Again; what conn"
try would have borne from a king, in a simi
lar stale of society, the bigotry and religious
j persecution that characterized the reign of her
sister and predecessor, the bloody Mary !
Philip could never have carried the same
measurer. even had he not been a foreigner,
and hud he possessed lull regal power.
It is pleasing to the student of English his
j lory to dwell on the reign of Elizabeth. I n
dcr her :;way we see the power, the glofy,
nnd the genius of p great nation hurst, no h
were, into existence. Wo behold tho empire
of wisdom—true not unalloyed with human
*• passion and human fruit., hut nevertheless
•' ! so* h wisdom us England had never before
n l en'pyud. Ehzibeth «va;, a woman of tbs
1 stronger! etn rgiffe, and the must unconqu m
bio resolution. If wo contrast the arts and 1
sciences, the literature and fine arts of her
reign with those of the present nay in Eng*
land, wo are surprised at the sudden impulse
given to letters by her influence, and although
of course, we see a vast difference in science,
yet in literature at, least, we must confess
that modern writers exceed tlic author's of her
ago more in the quantify than the quality of
their compositions. Khnkspeare ol himself,
wan a sufficient ornament ot any period to
diffuse around his time an ample glory. But
Spencer added his delicious strains to cele
brate the virtues of the Virgin Queen, and
many a name, damni et cenerabile, among her
counsellors and statesmen, lias stamped on her
reign the well known title of the Elizabelhian
period of English literature.
But the times were 100 hard, the mind* of
men yet too rude, not in England, but m her
own northern kingdom, for the beautiful, the
accomplished, the amiable Queen of Scots
Alas, that so foul a blot as the tragic death of
that lovely and bitterly traduced lady, should
slain the illustrious reign of the powerful Eliz
abeth. It is a lesson to mankind, that woman
tbsugli she may assume the character of man,
ami govern men, can never lose the character
istic weakness of her sex.
The reign of Anno is a brilliant period in
the history of letters—a splendid example of
the dignity and effect with which women can
rule, in a stale of society somewhat different
from that existing in England during the reign
of the sovereigns before mentioned. The pe
riod during which shn occupied Iho British
throne was marked by some of the most dis
tinguished names that adorn English history.
Swift and Pope were ornaments to her reign,
and frequenters of her Court. Steel and Ad
dison lent the bistro of their genius to polish
tin' age in which ihey lived, and a host of oth
er lights illumined the literary and political
horrizon.
With the exception of the short period du
ring which the Moody Mary held the English
throne, female reigns have over, therefore, been
fortunate for Brilian. Indeed, in every coun
try which has made any advances towards re
finement and polish, wo find the gnverrtrnerit
of Queens characterized hy brilliant success
and solid advantages.
And whether we pursue the history of tho
reigns of Elizabeth and Ann of England, of Is
abella of Spain, Maria Theresa of Austria, or
Catharine of llnssin, we are tilled with admira
tion at. the skill and svisdoin displayed, when
called into exercise by the lorco of circum
stances, by the sc.\, whose abilities we are apt
to despise.
And now England rejoices under another
feiiinlo reign—yumig and lovely, purchance a
j fairy Queen may have arisen to enchant (ho
world. Will she prove an Elizabeth, a Mary,
or another Ann ? Perhaps better than all of
these, she will unite their virtues, and in the
name of Victoria, will he joined all the g’ories
which shod so bright a tight over the memories
of her female predecessor*. Tins is n question
for time to determine. Still we repeat, what
ever the event, the lot of tho governed in like
ly In he happier limn that, of the sovereign.
“Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown,
are words which Shakespeare has put into the
, mouth of a great monarch, and though tho
turbulent times in widen ho reigned undoubt
edly made government a more difficult and
dangerous task, yet even now in this peaceful
age, the mere weight of forms, the detail and
policy of tho cabinet, would, we should fear,
be too groat a burthen for a young and inexpe
rienced female. Nevertheless, sudden and
great changes in life frequently bring into full
play many of those faculties which strengthen
and elevate the mind, while they display char
actor in its most exalted and dignified positions
and lulled in tho peaceful bosom of continued
ease, wo are frequently unconscious of the
possession of talents and capabilities, which
are alone revealed to our own astonished eyes
and the wondering gaze of others, hy the pow
erful alembic of adversity or unlocked for
prosperity.

A French fleet is filling out at Tobloti, destin

ately. The corvettes Indicium and Perle are
preparing to sail with as little delay as possible.
The Volago and Zehic brig were to follow. Th#
brig 1,0 Dupctit, Thouars and the brig Voltigucr
have already sailed. It is said the Hercule, with
the Prince de Joinvillo on hoard, had been order

An interesting account is recorded in tho
Boston Medical and Surgical Journal of nu
operation performed by Dr. Lewis of Boeto i,
by which the deformity occasioned hy the
loss of a part of the upper jaw and a portion
of the lower lip of the patient was remedied.
'Flic sufferer had sustained the loss from u
blow inflicted hy a whale, which left him in
a dreadfully multilalod condition. Dr. L.
above named restored the lip, and Dr, Har
wood supplied an artificial palate and setof
teeth, by which the deformity was almost en
tirely corrected, and the young man on whom
the operation was prcforrnad is enable to ar
ticulate* nearly as well as ever. Independent
ly to which such skill must give rise, tlieso
gentlemen will bo well rewarded for what
they have done, by tho consciousness of hav
ing restored a fellow being to the ability of
enjoying an existence which must otherwise
have been only a burthen to him.
