B. R. FREEDOM OF ELECTIONS. To the Editor e s the Evening Slur: km —Our government has been defined to be a reprsentalive democracy, with the exper intent of a confederacy of Slates. Os late years many of onr most enlightened and pa triotic citizens have been lod to view this ex periment with deep anxiety. For my part, I now look with more respect than I formerly did, upon the intuitive appro, hensions of Patrick Henry, of n conaolidatod government, and a usurpin'? Executive; nl the sumo time, I have examined with more care, the settled opinions of Iho profound and sagacious Franklin, who abhorred a single Executive, ami the corrupting influence of lucrative oilices, and employments. To these, 1 may add, the strong repugnance of Mr. Jes Person. I yield to no one in sincere respect for the writers of tha “ Pederalis*,” especially for Mr. Madison ; but it is now evident that those pure and accomplished statesmen placed too high an estimate on our republican virtue. It, is wonderful how much of their plausible and apparently conclusive reasoning, lias been east lo the ground by lamentable experience. Judging from their own honesty of purpose, and their anxious desire to relieve their coun try from existing and impendin r evils, they never dreamt of such a scene of corruption as is now displayed in this nation. Mr. Mad ison, who seemed to confide so securely on the remedy by impeachment, against the Pre sident and heads of departments, to prevent or punish all abuses from that quarter, seems never to have imagined that it might prove a dead letter to the constitution. Yet a popu lar President, and to be elected at all, the pre sumption is that ho is so, would of course have a party majority in the House of Hep resenlatives, who would refuse to vole an im peachment against tin 5r own chief and bis rmbo-ilinate officers, if that chief should think proper to prohibit those oilicers. It is also remarkable that those sagacious sfalesmon in discussing the subject of the President's pat ronage, entirely overlooked that arising from the Post Office, with its small contracts, prin ting and jobs of various kinds, constituting such a formidable army of retainers and de pendants. Hut we cannot at this day reflect without wonder at the total indifference, or at least oversight in the (ranters of the Constitu tion, in not making some provision for secu ring the freedom of elections, the very life of civil and political liberty! The bill recently introduced by Mr. Hell, into the House ol Representatives, is perhaps the first attempt, by practical legislation, to secure this vital principle. And yet the dangers threatening it, were long ago announced by Mr. Jefferson; nod in the writings and messages coming from lien Jackson, the name warning has bean repeated ; hut in the latter innlauce without sincerity, if wo may judge by con trasting his practice with Ins precepts; and with I ke insincerity on the part of those of his followers, who make the same professions, as will bn seen by their votes on the law pro posed by Mr. Roil. The leaders of the party tire not disposed to pay oven this homngo lo patriotism; they disdain all political hypo crisy, and go at aid for the spoils, and identi fy themselves in principle w.tli the robber and pirate. Mr. II 'll deserves the gratitude of his coun try, (or bringing this important subject before Congress. Although I believe the provisions of this bill, even if adopted would fall far short of remedyin the evil, yet it may pre pare lha way tor something nnro effectual. His speech in support of it ought to bo placed in the hands of every American freeman; it is manly, and free from all narrow dishonest parly spirit. There is but one topic in it to which I should lake exception, and that is what is said by him respecting the unpopu larity of the U. States Bank. Here lam com pelled to join issue with him, mid to assert that it is historically trim that Iho Bunk was popular. This was demonstrated by the pass age ofihe law rnchartering the Bank, in spite ot executive influence, one of the few instan ces during Jackson's administration in which the majority of the legislature has ventured to disregard his ilimations. The Jackson party in the northern anil middle stales, with the exception of a tew individuals, would more readily have applauded his approval oftho law > than they did his veto, although no doubt ready to atmrove either. Mpn of business in every purl* the Union were in favor ot it.— Mr. B. II is however excusable, ns belonging to a particuliar sect of politicians in the Bonlla who have adopted the opin onsofJohn Taylor ot Virginia, on tiie subject of n U. S. Bank. Hut it is worthy of remark, that this opinion arises from the fear of increasing the political power of tha federal government.— Experience, however, which so often baffles the most profound speculations of men, lias proved in this instance that those who dread ed the encroachments of that power, were as much deceived, as its friends were in other ca ses. The Bank rather than submit to be a party engine, in the hands of tho Executive, suffered itself to b" trampled under foot and destroyed. There can be no doubt that this proceeded from an unwillingness of the com mercial direction, to connect the institution with fluctuating, dishonest party polities, by which its credit and character, at home and abroad, must inevitably have been ruined. The neglect of onr legislators to take pro per measure lo preeerve the freedom of elec tions, may be ascrib'd to mistaken security on the subject of Executive influence. The Executive was called the weakest branch of he g ivnrument, and was armed with the Veto for its defence; for this was Iho sole reason given for this strange feature is our democra tic government. In England, the Executive was always the most cons icuous branch of the government; the attention of tha patriot was therefore directed with salutary jealously to that quarter, as the most formidable lo li berty- The time has now arrived, when we shall do well to take soma practical lessons from those to whom we are so much indebted, few Americans are aware of the decisive measure* taken by the British Parliament to preserve the freedom of elections, from all in-1 - fluonce on thejpart of the officersof the Crown. Tho extreme jealously of all interference, on the part of the crown, has been continual. ly,maiiif sl' d since the revolution of 1688; and as early us the sth of William and Mary, (1(101,) nnucl was passed, vetting forth, tint all elections of Members of Parliament should be free, and not corrupt, and prohibited all excise officers from •' endeavoring by word, tl message, or writing, or in any oilier manner e whatsoever,” lo persuade any elector, lo give or withhold his vo'e, &c. under a penally of I, 1001 ami disqualification from holding any u offic e, or place of trust or profit. This act was further extended by that of I‘2 and 13 William HI, (1700,) andby thal of 10th Ann, oii-up. 10. But these nets having been eva ded, ami it being f. nod, towards the middle of the reign of Oe.i. 111, that the public officers, mid others in the employment ot the govern ment, by their numbers and their influence, were ollen able,in s one c unities and boroughs, I lo carry the court can lidates, ami they gen erally voted en masse, for the government i candidates, the true old English Whigs made a great effort in Parliament, nod succeeded in passing the act (22 (Jeo. 111, c. 11, 1732.) d..franchising every officer employed in the customs, in the collection and management of the excise duties, and in the Post Office— forty thousand in number. “ This act,” observes Mr. Bell, “ which 5 stands a glorious monument oftho spirit of Englishmen, is entitled an act for the better securing the freedom of elections of Members to serve in Parliament. It was at this period, that the celebrated Mr. Dunning introduced, and carried the resolution, in Parliament, that the influence of the crown had increased, was increasing, and ought to ho diminished. The first measure which followed, was to deprive forty-thousand office holders of their r ght to 1 vole nl elections. The subserviency of Par • liarnont lo the will oftho crown, had been too 1 gross and palpable, lo he longer endured. The ministry bail cat red every measure, by a dead invariable majority, just as we have of late seen measures arrived through the Congress. ■ This great measure of reform was justified and sustained by ibo English paper, under the firm conviction that their proudest happiness in tho now world, “ the imperial crown of Ainer ica,” had been wrested from tho King by tho blunders of an incorrupt ministry, supported by a corrupt Parliament. But the remedy came too late to prevent the catastrophe. It would ho a singular incident in the vicissitude of human affairs, if Iho liberties of America should bo lost by the same errors which affor ded the opportunity of thoir existence. This spirit so highly worthy of admiration, manifested itself on different occasions in particular instances, of improper interference with the freedom of elections. In the reign of Queen Anne, a bishop of Winchester, ut the same time Almoner to the Queen, being unfriendly to Sir I. Pnrkington, wrote to se veral of his friends soliciting them to oppose his election Parkington notwithstanding, was successful; and one of his firet acts on taking his scut in the House of Commons, was to complain of the violation oftho free (loin of elections by tho bishop ami almoner. The Commons voted this lo he a violation of the liberties of tho people of England, and sent an addrtss to tho Queen requesting tho dismission ofihe bishop, which she gracious-* ly complied with. If a similar address had been carried lo Andrew Jackson by a com mittee of Congress, requesting him to dismiss Amos Kendall for a much more gross inter ference, ho would have insulted tho members who composed it! In 1770 a Lord Lieuten ant of a county was detected in writing to his friends, in the county of Southampton, urg. mg them to give thoir support to his friend; who was a government candidate. When the case was brought before tho Commons, Ixird North attempted to make light ol it, but was instantly silenced by Ibo expression of indignant feelings from all sides. The fol lowing resolution was adopted without a di vision : “That it is highly criminal for any minis ter or ministers, or any other servant of the Crown in Great Britain, directly or indirectly, to make use of the power of his office in order to influence the election of members of Par liament, mid that an attempt to exorcise that Influence was an attack upon the dignity, the honor, ami Ibo independence of Parliament, tin infringement of the rights and liberties of tho people, end an attempt lo sap the basis of our free ami happy constitution.” So much for the principles ofihe true friends of the liberty of the people in Great Britain. Now la there any thing peculiar to that coun try, that should render the very converse of those principles proper for America. 1 have already referred to the abstract opinions of those now in power, and 1 might refer to the numerous speeches and proposed amendments to tiie Constitution of Col. Benton and others, for tho purpose of opposing tho dangerous encroachments of Iho Executive. It is true all this happened while Iho parly was endea voring to get, into power, and were handled ue mere popular topics, tor wo hear no more of them now since they have boon successful. But because their intentions wore insincere and disbelieved, it does not follow that those opinions so true in the abstract, ought not lo he practised upon by those who are sincere in th.'ir desire to see the liberties of the country established on a firm foundation. I will refer to one authority, which will be admitted by the republican, or democratic parly at least, to be worthy not only of respect, hut. to be prac tically adopted. Mr Jefferson, in deprecating every iiiierterenee on the part of the officers oftho General and State Convention, ns well with the election of Slate, us of federal offi cers, gives tliis reason—“ because the consti tutional remedy, by the elective principle, be come nothing, if it may ho smothered by the enormous patronage of the General Govern ment.” If that patronage appeared go enor mous lo Mr. Jefferson at his day, what would it appear lo him now ? What would ho have | thought oftho constitutional remedy, when the Chief Magistrate himself look the field, followed and supported by every one directly or indirectly connected with this enormous patronage 1 Ho certainly would not have placed a very high value upon the freedom of elections among us. With this shameful violation oftho spirit of the Constitution, on the officers of the general government, and degrading acquiescence on the part of the American people, a now pro tension has been recently set up, which is, that the re-election of the President bv the People, is tu bo considered nn implied sanc tion, general and special, of all ids acts, and an acquittal from every accusation, and the benefit is of course to bo shared by all those who happen to bask in (he sunshine of his pa tronage. But whoever heard of an accused person, or of one appealing to others for ap probation, having a vote in his own cause? If the position be correct, (and I presume no man of sonco will seriously contend that it is so,) then should the President, and every officer under him, be excluded from the Polls, and be prevented from influencing elections, either directly or indirectly. It is a fact well known, that considering tiie small majorities of the administration candidates in Virginia, North Carolina, and several other States, the contest must have been decided by the per sons in the employment of the government, not one of whom, under the present order of things, durst give a different vote from their cbiet, and what is more, durst not remain in active at tho elections. From tho spirit manifested by Englishmen in maintaining the freedom of elections, 1 do not hesitate to say that iftheK ng of England, had taken the same open, violent, and inde cent parlas Ins been taken by Andrew Jack son, to secure the election of £hc person nomi- I nated by him, the act would have been follow jed by a revolution, which would have cost . I him his throne and perhaps his life. It isl ■, I deeply mortifying to us lo reflect, that the - I great piladiuin of our liberties is not so well ] ; i 'ctended by us, ashy those ol whom we think , , | ourselves so (i-r in advance in the canoe of I t freedom. If so pruud an indignation was rl roused in the breasts of Englishmen by the I indiscreet letter ut the Lord Lieutenant of a I, county, what would they have thought of such r a letter as that addressed by the chief favorite a of (he President, his drognman, to persons in f Pennsylvania, just before the lute election for y the Chief Magistracy, and grossly insulting (if t such an animal is capable of insulting any J one) nearly half the voters of that groat Slate, i, “A direct attempt has, been made to gov - ern your Slate by corruption, and it has been | f rebuked and repelled in a spirit worthy of '7O. I , It is not a triumph of one man over another; - it is a victory of principles over [profligacy— , tho triumph of a virtuous people over concen i, trated wealth, mercenary talent, and licensed - corruption.”—h'uch language to eighty thou l sand freemen from the meanest and basett of ■ mankind! When we considered who this man I is, fit by what means he has become of so much ) consequence, wo arc struck with the depart ! tire from the “prudent reserve,” which once t characterized the conduct of our Chief Mag - istrates. Such an occurrence might happen in the ferment of a revolution where society i itself for the times appears to be broken up, I and such a wretch as Murat, become a lord r of tbe ascendant: or in Tripoli, or Tunis, s where a cobbler, or a mule driver, may by , chance be raised to the post of first minister , to «no less ignorant and brutal bashaw; but I for men of our sedate and sober habits, lo be r stow upon such political gypsies, a portion ot • base adulation only less than that claimed hy i the Chief, is a matter of inexpressible aistonisli i merit. II Mr. Van Boren were desirous of ■ recording an act that would more than any i other reconcile the feelings of tbe great body i of the intelligent men of business, merchants, farmers, ami others who look upon thoir occu pations as preferable to any office with his gilt, and who have honestly and covertly op posed the administration of Gen. Jackson, and his own election—he would dismiss Amos Coitdall from his psesence! If in addition, he were to abate that moral, political and physi- I cal nuisance, tho “ Official.” I am not cer ium, that he would almost succeed in convert ing his greatest political enemies into sincere friends. Before I conclude this letter, I must express my doubts of the practical successor the law proposed by Mr. 8011. It only prohibits pub lic officers from interfering in elections; if this important object can bo attained by mere leg islation, we must not refuse to profit by the experience ol Great Britain, and go as far as her patriots have done, declaring at once, that no one holding any olfico of trust or profit, shall either vote, or interfere in any manner whatever, either in elections for Stale or fed eral officers I If the vote of the people in fa vor of the chief, is to be construed ns an ap proval of himself, and his officers, it will be but just that they should leave this approval or condemnation to be pronounced hy others; If they complain of their right of suffrage, let them bo told they enjoy an equivalent fur it in the emoluments of their offices. But, sir, it is not laws that will make frec ■ men, although freemen may make laws.— When the spirit of liberty animates the breast of the citizen, ho wiK resist the arm of despot ism under every form of government; when this is not the case—when the'inind is debased, enslaved and brutalized, no form of govern ment can raise that grovelling slave from the mire in which he delights to wallow. The populace of Rome, proclaimed Caisar dictator, consul, and tribune of the people for life, heap ing upon him absolute power beyond that of any barbaiian monarch, and yet they could not boar to see the it lo ceremony of placing a childish bauble on his head I The spirit of liberty has fled, and Cato, Cicero, or Brutus, could never reanimate the lifeless form of the Constitution. 1 thank Heaven the American people are sound; the fire of liberty still burns brightly in their breasts ; witness the noble stand made by that hand of patriots, in the Senate of the United States ; witness the efforts of a free press; witness the warning efforts of so ma ny individuals among those seven hundred thousand freemen who have set thoir veto on the acts of Andrew Jackson ! But all those have not been able to prevail against the pow er and influence in the hands of .ho govern ment—the hundred thousand government of ficers—tho governm«nt press—in short, in the words of Mr. Jefferson, “Tho elective princi ple becomes nothing, when smothered by the enormous patronage of the government,” Lot us appeal to the American people to put it down—let us go into the highways, let us en ter tho cabin, hy the road side ; let us every where seek the people, and lay before them tho dangers which threaten thofr liberties, and let us proclaim lo thum, that the remedy is, to secure the freedom of Elections.

Fo b Tkadkus with the In ni*ns oveh the Rocky mountains. —The Jonesborough (Tennessee) Sentinel of March 8, contains interesting naralivc from Mr. Step hen H. L. Meek, now in that town, and who has been for the last three er four years a member of a Fur Company. The coniyany last smumer left Rio del Norte, July 30, for Montras, in Cali fornia. On Sept. 9th they were surrounded and shot at by a large party of the Banarlt and Snake Indians, armed with arrows. The return (irefrom j the rifles of the hunters told n dismal talc, and the Indians, astounded, fell hack with their rude | hows and arrows, which were found powerless weapons. The mules were then repacked, and the course resumed over the interminable prai ries. Five of the hunters in this skirmish wore ] wounded, and one (Mr. Win. Small) was shot; dead by the arrow of a chief, who soon after was , brought down. The Indian loss was 27 found dead ; the wounded probably twice the number. On the IGlh, about 150 of the same tribes hung on the company’s flanks, and began to seat them selves down in rings and smoke their pipe. At this moment, 30 of the mountaineers rode up within 40 steps oflhe savages, and discharged upon them their rifles with deliberate aim. The Indians scattered like patridges from the hawk, leaving 18 dead 5 prisoners, which latter, after being severely whipped, were set at liberty. Tra velled now 4 days across the Salt Plains, where they struck the Californian Mountains, crossing which took IS days, and 14 days more than reach ed the two Buries: now scarce of food, and killed a horse, and subsisting on the time X1 days, came to the Spanish settlements. Here procuring pro visions proceeded to Montras, where they spent the winter agreeably in balls and parties given by the Spanish lathes. OnApriilst left&in lOdays struck the snow hank on the smith side of the Salt or California mountain. The company now had 100 horses, 80 mules, and 25 head of cattle. Be fore re tching the plains on the north side of the mountain, they had to leave 30 horses, 0 mules, and all the tattle in the snow, which Was six feet deep. In the lore part of May, reached St. Mary’s river—on the 4th of July, 1830, Quepaw or Bear river, and thence proceeded to St. Louis, Mo., with their furs. From theMchile Mercantile Advertiser, March 18. SANTA ANNA AT HOME. The New Orleans Advertiser, of Monday, states on the authority ofinforrnation brought by the Creole, from Tampico, that a fleet, consisting of four brigs and three schooners of war had sailed from Vera Cruz for Mata moras, to act against Texas—that quiet reigned at Tampico—that its soldiery amount ed tosoo moo—that Santa Anna had arrived at Vera Cruz—that his reception was very lukewarm—and that he had in consequence hastily retired to his plantation, to brood over his many reverses. A letter from Santa An na to the Secretary of War, of Mexico de clares that he obtained I is liberty “without subscribing to any conditions whatever,” and that he had not “ either before nr since that event made, vt ilh any one, let. him be who he may, any contract that might bring reproach upon the national independence or honor, or put in jeopardy the integrity ol the territory;” and “ that ho has given no guarantees whatev er to any individual or government relating to these pretended stipulations.” The Mexicans, however, keep an eye upon him. They arc resolved to find him out, and the object of his mission to Washington. Hence a resolution has been offered to the Mexican Congress, calling upon him for“ the motives oF his journey to Washington, its re sults, and whatever engagements he may have contracted since the battle of San Jacin to, detrimental to the integrity of the Mexi can Territory, and to the honor and interests oflhe Nation.” 'cO.?Ii?3HK€IAIs.

We want real relief in the 1 money market, and we have reached that crisis in which no other relief can be available but fail- i ure and stoppage. Jpprojios~~ ln relation to the i connection in business, between the firm of Liz- t ardi, wo are authorized to say, .'that their liabili- i lies to them do not exceed those to the house of i Rothschild—that they are amply'securcd—and j that all the Josephs’ business with the Lizardis ] | have been confined to the London house—notin I | any degree with the Paris house. I — i From the New Vo-/,- Evening Post March 20. , City Affairs. — The general topic of conver sation in Wall street, is the failure ol the Josephs. _ | The Expnss of Saturday brought nothing respec ting the New Orleans failures, except the copy of , a letter from New Orleans, via Mobile, which ‘ states that the banks had agreed to afford relief j to the houses there. Yesterday the express ( brought notiiing new. £ Several failures are reported, some of which are r contradicted. The Joseph’s will not resume busi- | ness until further information from the south, and j another consultation with their friends. It is un- - derstood that the United States Bank will make ■ additional offers of assistance. Several individlt- [ als of known wealth have promptly come forward to render all the aid in their power to their friends | and there is a general disposition to sustain those ( in want of succour. The first impression, that £ there would be an extensive panic, is gradually j wearing, away and confidence resuming its place. , From the N. Y. Daily Fxprcss, March 20. 1 CITY NEWS. < Saturday, P. M.—There has been money market. Slocks stood a little bettor, bur, i money is yet close. The position of Messrs Joseph t has not changed since the publications of this mar- , ning. All those measures will be based upon inlor- j i matron that may be received from New Orleans.— , | The state of suspense of this house, nnd a eomhina- I tain of circumstances, has shaken confidence very much. Four failures have been announced- none of llu n large,but all.bl them highly respectable firms. We look forward hi ;jpxt week withn hopo that the stale of things will improve. This week has closed ‘ with unusual gloom , It is exceedingly fortunate that the packets to j Liverpool and Havre sailed on their regular day; viz. : Thursday the 16th, end at 11 o’clock in the fore- ( noon. The Express Mail from the South and New ( O leans in particular on that day did not reach here until lour hours after they left. As a largo amount of New Orleans bills, and also of our own city, went forward by these packets, they will be, no doubt, duly honored before any unfavorable tidings can reach there. This will be exceedingly fortunate for the purchasers nnd holders. Sunday, P.M. Rumour bus been busy to-day in reference to the late failures in New Orleans We have also beard of several fiiilures in nnd about Wall Street since Saturday morning. Wo do not, however, (cel our selves at liberty to publish the names of the reported failures, without further proof of the many stories floating about the city. The character oflhe patties concerned, and the necessity of preserving the com mercial reputation of onr city, warn ns to beware of placing too much confidence in the flying stories of the day. Tim evil is had enough when it is known to exist. The anticipation of it is doubly dangerous. The Express Midi which arrived yesterday afternoon it vviil lie seen, brings some important news from New Orleans, and further South. The North River, we arc told, is open a short dis tance above Newburgh ; and the boat, we believe, leaves lor Newburgh this morning. STOCKS. Saturday, P. M—A bettor feeling was evinced to-day, the panic of yesterday having subsided a lit tle. United States Bank sold 11 per cent better.— Delaware 82—advance 4 and 5 per cent. N. O. Canal a little L iter —Morris 87. Boston n shade better. Large lo;s ol Long island, however, vvere thrown into market, and sales at 66—being a decline of (our per certt. The difference in stocks the last_fuur days has been as follows; March 15th March I## l 11. S. Bank, 117. 1174. Delaware, 874. 82 Morris, 97 87 N. O. Gas, 95 89 Mohawk, 77 74 Long Island, 74 66 The changes in most oilier descriptions have been small. DAILY SALES. Saturday, P. M. Flour —Western is stationary at sll} to 124 ; be ing in few hands, the holders are enabled to main tain uniform prices. There is, however, considera ble foreign Flour, which sells at various rates, ac | cording to condition. ; Gram.—ls exceedingly dull. Rye has declined 1 from 140 to 125 cents, at which there are no buyers. ■ In Wheat, there is nothing doing—stock here nn -1 commonly great; and, contrary to expectation, a con tinued accession of supplies. Since Saturday last, : wo have received the billowing:—From Liverpool 527 sacks, 125 f hags ; from London, 971 hags; from ' Bremen,633l bags wheat, 4836 do. rye; from Rot terdam, 5710 hags wheat; 2306 do.rye; from Hum ’ burg, 6273 bags, 301 do. rye; 2000 sacks do; from Antwerp, 1613 bags, 3250 do rye; from Palermo,oo4 1 bags wheat; from Rostock, 80 lasts ; from Celle, 11 " sucks, and from Havre, 1000 barrels flour. Besides ' two arrivals with full cargoes—one from Dantzic, | and one from Amsterdam, and two other arrivals, the quantity not mentioned. Tko week has closed with much gloom, although ' the panic of yesterday has passed over in a conside ; ruble degree. At the Exchange there was much more conversation in relation to business, than there 1 was in buying and selling. 1 From the New Vurk Herald, j WALL STREET March 20. The operations of Wall street have now an ) additional interest. The eyes of the whole com munity arc upon its movements. On Saturday slocks rose, and brokers fell. For many months past the most astonishing fluctuations have taken > place in stocks, the difference between time and ' cash sales having been, during that period, pro bably, 2, or 3or 4 per cent. The several provis- I ional suspensions have had a good effect on the • slock market. It is generally believed that many : of those persons and firms who have failed, have ’ been the cause of these fluctuations. As a par ' tial system of finance, they bought stocks on time at the current prices of today, and, to raise mo ney, sold them to-morrow, at 1,2, or 3 per cent, under the original cost on time, varying at 20, i 30, or 40 days. By this means these slock f operations were made the basis of a system ol fi -1 nance equal to a permanent capital of $500,000, ’ or more, at ‘if or 30 per cent per annum. These operations have affected the stock mar ket for 3or 4 monthr past. They arc the princi- I pal cases of the fluctuations—of the rises today and depressions tomorrow. In the wake of such a business, several stock brokers came down, like a few nine-pins before a capital player in the i great nine-pin alley of Wall street, on Saturday. • There is no injury done even to the individuals, ) but much good, by the operation. Stocks accordingly, from these views prevailing among the shrewd men rose 2 or 3 per cent on Saturday, in the face of the terrible failures or • suspicion of failure. United States stock went up smack 4 per cent in Friday’s rates and closed 1 steady at 2 per cent advance. Southern stocks are nearly unsaleable. Northern fancies have risen from 2to 4 per cent and are steady. Old hank stocks invariable. Men of real capital ap pear to be laying in a supply. The money mar ket is getting easier. It is true the capitalists who shaved at 2,3, and 4pcr cent a month, have got most awfully shaken,hut who cares for them! There is a visible relief in the market. Several , failures took place on Saturday, r probably half a dozen in all, to the amount of half a million oj dollars. —The escape of this steam is a great and unexpected relief upon the steam boiler of com merce. We ought to be thankful for even this ; small favor received. Those houses and indivi- - duals left standing will be the more able now to sustain themselves. The truth is, the mind of the community appears to be agitated by a mix ed feeling—pity, regret, nnd heart-felt sympathy for the unfortunate sufferers who have failed— some of them the cleverest men in the world. On the other hand there is a general joy, evident ly steading over the whole city at the prospect of relief and return to moderation and the good old steady safe systems of commerce. Wc expect, however, many more additional failures—then a season of quiet—then a new set of men then ano- , ! liter quiet time—then another scene of specula- . tion—then a revulsion, bringing us up to 1850 j before wc explode again. | Cotton is dull—extremely dull. The spccu lationa in the culture of cotton has been the cause of the failures here and at New Orleans. The revulsion has taken piece before the recent fall in England was known. They have fallen by their own weight. Here the market is dull and falling. The cotton speculations arc not un derstood here—wc shall explain them fully to morrow, and show the connection of the recent failures with them. The flour market has begun falling. Western brands are quoted at §11,75 to 11,87 J—New York to §10,75. This is from 75 cents to §I,OO under the highest previous rates. It must go on in the same way —no backing out if it pleases. On Saturday, 60 barrels middling quality went off at auction at §4,75 to §l,B7 —GO days. Flour cannot stand at its present prices. On Saturday 14,569 bags wheat, and 3,1C0 hags rye were im ported ; and during the whole week, probably the gross imports at New York were 100,000 hags of all kinds of grain. Tire imports are ra didly increasing. In May, flour will be at §6,00 or §7,00, nr §B,OO per barrel—old price. The following arc the operations on Saturday : —l5O boxes imported tin platcsat §lO lOJ, Hi, 11 i, to 11J, 3 months—los barrels brown sugars atsg, 6,6 s, to G.?, 3 months —25 lumps white do. at 10;1 cents—l barrel extra fine white at 15] —20 birds Porto Rico sugar at 8j a 8$ cents, ret 3 and 4 months—l 4 casks beans at 75—14 small do. do. at 70, 90 days—loo bales St. Do mingo tobacco at 14| a 15 cents, 4 months—Bl long bundles twine at 4,55, small do. do. at 9—9 bags almonds at 8, 4 months—lß bags coffee at 7 a 8 cents, 4 months—ll 9 boxes bunch raisins, damaged 45—32 half boxes do. at 28—12 boxes bloom do. at 50—1 keg do. 10J cash. Real estate is in a singular condition. Specu lators now entirely drive away cash sales—yet a trade in lands, founded on mortgages on a new system, has started up, of a most remarkable ex tent—New Brighton, and all fancy towns, lots and villages near New York, are gone forever. The market at present is flooded will) a new species of bubble companies, located in the eas ern states, called Granite and other names. Wo shall show up the whole of these bubbles n a day or two— together with the bubble lots in all the towns and cities round about the country, now exchanging for other properties for ten times their worth. The ago of bubbles is nearly gone. BROUGHT to Augusta .Tall, on the 15th instant a Negro man, who calls his name Stephen, and sail! that he belongs to Eaton Hollomon, Stewart county, Georgia.

ALLEN CA.WBELL, Contractor. March 16 62 1m J«hn ISasconafoc. . THIS Celebrated Racer will make S isa hia first season at the HAMPTON fc'*® 8 near Auguata, Go., under direction of Mr. Freeman VV. \ 4 Lacy, and be let to Mares, the ensu ing season, at One Hundred Dollars the season, payable 25th December next, with One Dollar to the Groom ; the season to commence the 15lh February, and end the 15th July next. It is re quested that persons sending mores, will send a note for I lie season and a pedigree of the mare. John Bascombe never having covered, his powers as a foal-getter are, of course, unknown ; such mares therefore, as do not prove in loal, shall have the benefit of another season, free of charge. Messrs. | Glascock & Lacy are extensively provided with Lots and Stables, for mares that may be sent (o remain with the h.rse, and will be fed at fifty cents per day. lilack servants, sent with mares, tod gratis.— Every care and attention will be taken to guard against accidents or escapes, but no liability will be incurred for either. A report having gained circula tion that John Bascombe would not cover, I take this method to contradict it, so fur os he has not re fused. PF.DIGREE.—John Bascombe is a light chesnul, fifteen and a half hands High, fine bone and muscle, with very superior limits mid action, six years old the ensuing spring; ho was got by the celebrated horse Bertrand, sen., his dam was got by Pacolet, and he by imported Citizen; his grand dam by im ported Buzzard ; and his great grand dam by Wade Hampton’s Paragon, and Itchy imported Flimnap; his dam by Harwell's Traveller, his grand dam Ca millia, by old Fearnought out of Calista, imported by Col. Bird ; Burnell's Traveller was by Morton’s Traveller, out of Col. Bird’s Cdista; Bascombe’s great great grand dam by imported Figure, his great great grand dam was old Shamorkin, who was got by imported Wddair,out of the imported Cub Mare. Baseombo’s performance on the Turf are of so re cent dale, and consequently so well known, I deem it unnecessary to trouble the public wilbnny remarks of mine, in relation to them, except to state that bo has never lost a heat since holms been in my hands.
