Merchants and others wishing to see it, tn order that mistakes may be avoided, will please call and examine, if possible, this list will be ready Sot the next packst day. lifttj-ri-st itiif from Enropc-Tm Day* Later. In addition to the valuable intelligence from ISarope which we gave in our evening edition yester day? also inserted in our outside today? we now place before our readers fur' her extracts from our files of London and Liverpool papers andmagaz ?<??, ahew.ng ihe state ?fthe public mind in England, re lative to the affairs of this country. In receiving this intelligence, not.'iing but a mere accident prevented us from publishing it in anticipa tion of all the otherpapers in Nflw York. Our splen did News Boats, the Teazer and the Celeste, were eui cruising all day on Wedneeday. Late at night, the Celeste boarded the gallant ship England, com manded by that sterling man and gentleman, Cap tain Wane. At one o'clock yesterday morning, the Captain of the Celeste had oar packages, and but for a head wind he would have come up to the city in time for yesterday morning's paper. As it was he landed one of his crew, Jack Fearless, about '2 o'clock near Fort Hamilton, at the chops of the Narrows. At that place Jack eould net procure a horse, other wise he would have been up to town in time to beat all the Wall street prints. Hereafter we beg the peo ple of Long Isiand, at all risks, to famish our express nders with horses, at every hour of the night. Ne matter about the oost ? let the geod people of Ix>ng island always furnish our express riders with horses ta carry us the news ever land, and we'll furnish them the oats. We have also our vario&s files of papers from Paris, by the Erie, Capt. Funk, whom we thank for his kindness in sending them to oar office. Galignam, and the Pans " Lt Commerte" copy largely from the Herald. The fame of O'Haggerty is spread over Europe. The intelligence published today is extremely inter esting in many respects. We give every variety, too ? politic* ? fashion ? poetry? -science ? theatricals ? commerce? and (he markets. One of the most remarkable features in the English and French newspapers is the great importance which they attach to every thing appearing in the New Yobk Hesald. The public prints throughoat those kingdoms, in London, Liverpool and Paris, seize as greedily upon the files of the Herald, an the enthu siastic people of New York. On this very point we annex several extracts, and rccommend them to the particular attention of the rotten Wall street prims, before they go owt and hang themselves on the next tree. For the genera! aspect and course of affairs in every house m England, we refer our readers to the passa ge* annexed. Victoria? bless her round placid Dutch face!? is carrying every thing her own way. She is a regular locofoco. If ahe manages her cards, and makes a good select-.on of a husband, she may bo the greatest monarch that ever reigned- she is a locofoco but she may be adeapot too? a lovely despot over the hearts of all her subjects. The first thing she does ought to be to hang all the bachelors. The spirit of the English periodicals for September will be given in this evening's paper. [From the Liverpool Mail, Aug 22.] In another column we have piven some very inte resting statements relative to the cotton markets of the United States. They are taken from the \t%e York Htrald, a paper which has distinguished itself by the fulness and ability of its commercial intelli gence. It will be observed, from these statements, that the Americans are fain to confess, at last, they have over-traded and over-banked. In fact, they en tered into a system of wholesale speculation, and they are new reaping the effects. It ta hard, however, that England should suffer by the folly or the fraud of America. At the same time, it is a point well worthy of mature consideration, whether the over traders of America have not been considerably encour aged by the easy facilities which England afforded them. Advances have been made by Liverpool con signees on cotton and other produce, not merely be fore the staple had reached England, but before the eropa had been gathered in Ameriea; ay, even before the seed was placed in the soil! In like manner, the manufactures sf Leeds. Sheffield, Birmingham, Man chester, Leicester, and Nottingham, have acted with out a tradesman- 1 ike caution in executing orders for America as a credit instead of a cash system. They ??nt their cloths, their hardware, their calicoes, their stockings, and their hose to people serosa the Atlan tic, of whom they actually had no knowledge, and truated to the chapter of accidents for payment. If the American trader sold the articlea well, be proba bly paid fer what he had got, and gave larger orders for tas coming season : but if he had not sacked dol lars enough to meet hia expectations, be gave him self no trouble whatever about paying his English debtors. Two circumstances connected with American trade must also bo referred to. One is the extraordinary facilities afiorded all apeculators by means of the pa per money system, which had been carried ta an ex treme point in the United States. In the State of New York alone, the banks were responsible? or *?ad that they were ? for more specie than could he found in the whole republic. But this mattered little to the Americana The baaks afiorded them "accommo-, dation," and they availed themselves most freely of :t. It was the prosperous timr of paper money. If a I man wanted to " raise the wind, he had but u> draw a bill apon his neighbor, and thie being accepted, was negotiable at the banks. He returned the compli ment whenever his neighbor required it. When the bdle became due they were renewed, and so on to tbe end of the ebapter If the speculator succeeded, he paid the bill, and became a mighty man in Wall street (the 'Change of New York); if nc foiled, there was an end of it? he turned his hand to something else, and a couple of years saw him as speculative as oveT, and in quite as good o-leur as formerly with the paper moneymakers, le it a wnarier, then, that nine out of every len men in New York becAtnc specula tive? They disdained the mode of acquintig compe tency by industry, and flashed away, at railroad speed, to make large and sudden fortunes by novel and dashing means. They had neither caution in business nor adequate capital to carry it on. Their aystem was dash? dash? dash, and they wars trou bled with no nice scruples as to how matters were to end. In most caaee, as ihev commenced w<thnm money, they had notning to lose; and though it did not tell very much for their characters, yet as the bulk of them were equally in the mure, that circum stance ceased to disturb their equanimity One thing xmimi to be noticed, aa one of the re main of thr iytt'nn morr da*hmg than lioneat which we have endeavored to characterize a* fairly a# we ran. It wan, ndeed, one of it* reaolw, but it i#m occaawinally operated aa a directly mflurncing cjwiae W? ailade to the expensive mod** of living adopted by the"ni*rchf>'iu?" ?f the Unifrd ^talea, par ticularly in New YorK, NewOrleana. and Charleaton. They *< s?' thnr Mmpage* ihry had tbnr rctinurR of TMimeroita " help*' ?there were huntera lot Ihe none, and amblm* pnlfreyafar the riauthtrni ihrrc were halla, exprnaive vmnda, the choicest wmm of France, | Germany, Spam, Ponoffal and Italy ?the rirh??tand moat coat I y draaaeafor the fema'eaof the family, nnd ihe houee, ftirniahed with lordly inagwifirence, to match. In a word, had fhry hern the inhrrit<?re of vplendid foruinca, tbry could not hate lived more luxuriously. And who were the per tie* ? Men who. e year or two before hed been at the bottom of the roll but had advanced onwards by paper money and wild speculation. They were not content to have emula tion in business^ they must also have emulation in per sonal and household expense. At last, it became al most necessary? if a man wished to keep up his cre dit? that he should live as lavishly as his neighbor. Expense became a sort of test of a man's fortune, and the result was, that those who were tottering ovei the precipice plunged deeper than ever in expense, to maintain the show of wealth. The Lottdon Timet says:? Some interest is felt m tl?? eity about the mode in which the considerable amount of bills understood to be returned for non payment into the great eotton state of Alabama will be dealt with there by the par ties concerned. The Legislature of that State, it will be remembered, protected their banks by a legislative enactment against the resumption of specie payments for a term or tliree years absolute, unless during that time the State Bank of .Mobile should find itself pre pared to dispense with this restriction, in which event, by six months' notice given of their intention to reaasm their paper in specie, nil other banks were bound to do the same, er close their doors to business. The paper of all the.?e banks is of course at a conside I rable discount in all the places of issue, and much tnorw bo in other states of th-- union, where it has nev#r formed part of the circulation, and therefore does not stand on a par with the paper of banks local ly known, and long the medium of business transac tions. There could be no difficulty as to the manner in which the returned bills would be taken up in the absence of specie, if, as probably would be offered, the general practice of New York were followed. That is, to the amount of the bill, with the expenses of ex change and re-exchang#, is added to the difference of the premium between specie to which the billholderis entitled, and the bank paper, in which only he can be, and is paid. It is stateu that some of the Alabama billholders are likely to dissent from this course, and to insist upon specie, and that proceedings will be in stituted on occasions arising out of these transactions against the Governor and Legislature of the state, who, it is contended, had no legal or constitutional right to supersede or Buspend the action of bank charters originally granted by themselves, and on the faith of whose provisions, which render specie pay ment of notes obligatory on demand, commercial and other persons resident in other parts of the union, in New York or New Orleans for example, have been induced to act, and have suffered damage in conse quence. Such actions would be brought of course in the Supreme Court of Justice of the Union, which alone is empowered to take cognizance wiihsut ap peal of all suits between one state of the Union and another, or between the inhabitants of one state against a state itself, of which they are not subjects. The suspension of specie payments threatens, indeed, to provide employment for the lawyers both in the state courts and those of the union. Some instances have been given heretofore of this kind of litigation. By the papers last received from New York it ap pears that one cause has been tried and decided against the banks. A Mr. John Windt had obtained a judgment in the state or city court of New York against the Commercial Bank for $55, upon their re fusal to pay the notes in specie. The cause, it is said, was to he carried to a higher tribunal. Thus, with powerful banking corporations, to whom law charges are no object, individuals contend at a serious disad vantage. Liverpool. ? The Orpheus, Capt. Bubsley, arrived at this port from New \ ork on Tuesday night, and has brought us American papers to the 2d of August. In another column will be found a copious account of the Cotton Market, from July 26 to the above date. It contains some interesting infoianation, and the speculations relative to the advantages which Eng land may derive from Texas, a cotton-producing and manufacture-consuming country, are entitled to seri ous considerations. It is clear, thai if the trade to j Texas be properly cultivated? and not orer-pushed, anew and extensive market may there be opened for the sale of our principal rnauufsctures. Besides, if what the New York Herald stales be true, cotton will probably be much cheaper in Texas than in Charleston, Savannah, New Oslenns, Augusta or Mo bile. Thus, England will have thu double advantage of being able to purchase at a lower rate than at E resent, and of having a new market for the sale of er own manufactures. Our fear is, not that the en terprise of English traders will fail to take advantage of this, but that there may be a run upon it. This fear in augmented by the knowledge that our com mercial relations with the United States were pmna rily embarrassed, nearly as much by English over i ttadmg, which created incaution, as by American over-speculation, which eventuated in dishonest bank ruptcy. We remember, too, what took place when the trade to India was partially opened, by the modi fication of the East India Charter, in 1812. There was a general rush to supply British manufactures, which had previously been introduced by us through the East India Company, and the resnlt was, the supply so far exceeded thedemand, that ? except such cargoes as had been the very earliest in the market ? the greater porti in of the goods so sent OHt were un saleable at almost any price, and finaHy were dir?os ed of at less than the cost prices ! ? Liverpool Mail , Aug. 2& The I bom Tbade.? The demand for iron of all descriptions made in this neighborhood has become unprocedentedly great ; so much so, that many of the makers have determined to elese their order books ani reject orders at any price. We understand that the stocks of iron in dealers hands throughout the empire art remarkably small, owing to the ex pectation that prices would still recede. The reaction upon this important branch of business has come so siddenly, that many persons conversant with the trade havo not boen aware of the advance of prices in time to have their orders entered by the makers. The nominal price of bara is 71 per ton, and of No. 1 foundry pig-iron, 41. 10s. on bosrd at Newport. Monmouth Merlin. State or Tbade.? Mancnesteb.? There was a very good demand for yarn yesterday, especially for lower a middling nainlWs of water twist, for which an advance of about a halfpenny per pound was vory generally obtained. There was also a fair demand for goods, and prices were firm, hut without any change. ? MancJictltr (iunrdian. Blackbubn. ? We are unfoignedly glad lo perceive that the late distressing stagnation in the staple trade of this country seems to be giving way to a mora en couraging state of things. Intelligence from all parts testify considerable and progressive improvement. ? The demand has of late been comparatively brisk, and good?, which a month ago could hardly have been ?old at any p ice, have gone off tolerably well t in consequence of this the weavers, who have suffered bitterly, have afar better prospect; we believe few are now out of employ* and it is graufying to learn that their employers have Wn enabled to increase their wage*. Altogether commercial indications are more healthy, and if the ho pea of an abundant harvest he realized, and at prseent there is every reason to think they well, we may look forward to a prosperous au tumn.? Nlackburn Standard. Rochdale Flamkel Market.? There has been another good market, and rather higher prices havo been obtained. Wool haa been an ore difficult lo buv, snd haa been sold at an advance upon laat week ? pncea. Tub Potterie#.? Those houses which are wholly or chiefly in the Aaaencan market, hive been oom Elled for Mine time partially to suspend their mann> ctonet, in consequcnce of the pamr in that country. Order* for good* have beer received; but the manu facture? generally decline to execute them, until they aee some prospect* of receiving retunia from America, where a very venous amount of capital is at preeent locked up. The rate of exchange, though a ahsde tower, is, at the present time, ruinously high. The consequence of this senousBtagnaiion is, extremesuf- ! firing to thousands of workman and their families.? The great and increasing d is trees of the poor has ex cited the sympathy of the respectable inhabitants 5 and a committee has been appointed to visit the abodes of w antj nnd to portion out the charitable fund so aa most effectually to relieve the sufferings of the poor, a a far a* it ia prmcticablc. T*a Tra Trm?e, Moirrav.? ' The quantity cleared last week was 374,300 Ibe. This is a comparatively small delivery; but the Eaat Indta Company s sale win commence next Monday, and will be followed by pri vate trade *4 lee to the amount of 67,000 packages. Ho*<r orATHv. ? A Unit forty homoeopathic doctor* have had a meeting at Frankfort, i? di-cuss their new system and doctrino*. Some of these came Irom Russia. Biropen Deaths.? A letter from Munich, of Aug. 18, in the A upnhury GaztUe, says ? hnt eno of the co<m ?etlors of the Hnpuner < 'oiin of Appi-al, Raron Von Hequrl, as Se vas summing up a cse? was suddenly ?truck with uppoj lexy, arid sank dead en the fr unci. That was the sixth case of sudden death within eight days from apoplexy, caused, it is supposed, by the great heat, the thermometer standing at 21, Reau mur. Pbanco- English. ? A curious specimen of this oe eorred the other day. A French gentleman, rescued from a duching in the Thames, and taken to an adja cent tavern, was advised to drink a tumbler of very hot brandy and water, and thus addressed the waiter: ? " Sir, I shall thank you not to make it m fortnight." " A fortnight," replied Joe, " hadn't you better take it directly V " Oh, yea," said Monsieur, " directly to be sure, but not a fortnight? not two week." Thb Thames Tunnel.? We are glad,to learn that the interruption which the progress of this great na tional undertaking has met with is likely to be of much shorter duration than could have possibly been anticipated. Mr. Brunei has been incessant and in defatigable in his exertions to remedy the damage done, and his success has been so great that hopes, now amounting t? certainty, are entertained that the works will be resumed, without danger or inconveni ence, in the course of a very short tune. On Saturday it was asc ertained that the aperture had been com : pletely closed, and on the puinps bein^ applied it was I found that little or no water obtained access to the shaft of the tunnel ; but as soinc danger was appre | hended if the water were taken off' until the clay new* j ly deposited in the aperture had in some degree be came consolidated, tiie pumping was suspended till ; the following day. On Sunday the pumping was re fumed, and it was very soon that the engine had com plete command over the water, which was reduced to I nine feet in the shaft. Yesterday the water still was , reduced to four fret in the shaft, and there is no doubt | bui the water could at once be drawn oil' without dif ficulty if that were thought desirable. Mr. Brunei, | however, with great prudence, postpones the draw I ing off of the whole of the water till the clay heeomes I consolidated, and has acquired a proper consistence. Meteorology? Shooting Stabs. ? The numerous showers of shooting stars that have been recorded in lutter years, have all happened m the night from the l'2th to 13th of November, or in the preceding or suc ceeding night. Mons. Arago announces that an ex ception to the general rule, which he thought to have established, has been observed. On the night of the 10th to the 11th of this month, between fifteen min utes past eleven and twenty six minutes past three, two hundred and ninety-one meteors were counted, making more than one per minute. M. Emmanuel Arago, who was the first to see this phenomenon, counted, before apprising the students of the observa tory, one hundred and four in fifty minutes, or two per minute. ^ Medical Juai prudence.? Mr. Donne at a late sitting announced, concerning the signs of death, that the sanguineous globule is the organ which is the most rapidly decomposed; and that he considered this decomposition as the most characteristic sign of putrefaction, and consequently of death. M. Mandi writes that his observations have given liirn anoppor tunity of ascertaining the complete preservation of the sanguineons globules not only five or six hours, but even twenty-four hours after death. This fact is not of rare occurrence in summer, and it happens very frequently in winter. The author adds that on Saturday last he shewed it to M. Magcndie in a hy dropic patient, thirty hours after death. If M. Donne has observed that the decomposition of the sanguine ous globules sometimes takes placc rapidly, which we also have remarked, it will be clear, from what preceded, that this is not to be regarded as an unva rying sign, and still less as a characteristic. Alcoholic Fermentation of Milk. ? We under stand that a means has been discovered in Germany of fermenting milk for the obtaining of alcohol. M. Pelouse has announced to the Philomathic Society that this phenomenon takes place between 35 and 48 dcg. This important faat will doubtless ere long be investigated by the Institute; but at any rate we shall not lose sight of the discovery which ia in so high a degree interesting to science and domestic economy. The following anecdote is current in the green rooms of the theatres A young German prince lately became deeply enamored of a young actress of one of the minor theatres, who, however, being as virtnous an she wad beautiful, refused all his oilers. In the infatuation of his passion the prince, assisted by three stout myrmidons, made an attempt to carry oil the fair one by fore.', one night as Bhe was return ing home from the stage with her mother. The cries of the distressed fcmuluH brought the guard to their rescue, and the prince was conducted before the com missary of police, who, in consideration of his rank, dismissed him, en his pledge that he would not re new his attempt. It is said, however, that he has sinee declared In* determination to accomplish his ob ject at all risks.? French paper.

Weare glad to find that the memoirs of the Duchess of St. Alban's are just coming forth, rrom the pen of Miss Sheridan, who re sided much with her grace; so that the memoirs, be ing authentic, and the anecdotes of the day from per aona! knowleidge, this cannot fail of being an amus ing, piquant work.?

The material of which it is composed la bastiste ecrue (unbleached cambric), and its very light elegant trim ming constats of a few rowsof fine Italian straw plait (tresses do paille d'lialie.) The coraage and skirt of the neglige are cut all in one, except at the back, where one or two additional breadths are put in the akirt, and which would necessarily render the corsage too full at back.

In place of a pelerine is a small shawl of the mate rial of the dress, with three rowsof straw tnmming all round, and a light silk fringe at ihe edge.

' Mingo runs to day,' was the uppermost thought in every sporting man's head yesterday morning, be fore he bolted his breakfast. Mingo never bolted, though he runs ' like mad.' As early as ten o'clock yesterday, from the river to the race course there was one continuons line of car riages of every sort, size and desaription ; always ex cepting private four- in-hand teams, and stages, which have all been laid up, or sold up, not to appear again on the atage, until Harlem lots reach last year's pi ices. The road presented a picturesque appearance as well as a valuable moral. There wasa broker wnom we saw last year driving a splendid pair of fancy tits in n barouche, now so much crippled by speculations in fancy stocks, as to be reduced to a small dingy and dirty looking dun herse. A Pearl street jobber that purchased a superb 1 set out' on tick, two years ago, was yesterday seen astride of a sorry steed that would have borne off the palm for poor looks from Don Quixotte's Ito8inantc. And so with the balance of the swells ? he who sported a curricle last year, was new content with a gig ; he of the gig last year sat 1 solitary and alone' in a sulky? the last year's sulky was down to a pony cart, and so in proportion from the highest to the lowest, all brought about by a judi cious credit system, followed by the suspension of specie payments. On reaching the course we found that only two horses were to run the four mile heats for the $1000 purse, viz : the renowned Mingo and John R. Stevens' Bonny Black, mare. Gypsey (who ran Mingo pretty close Ia9t June after he dropped African in the 4 mile heats,) was sick, or sorry, or, as seme say, in the fa mily way. Others asserted Gypsey had been phy sicked and put to bed. However, Gypsey did'nt "come to tea," because she had a ma*h fur her breakfast. Mingo and Bonny Black were brought out both looking remarkably well. Indeed, Mingo never was in finer order f?r making good time and a great run. The track was also in excellent order, though rather hard. The stand was crowded with gentlemen? car riages drawn up on each side the judges stand were filled with handsome ladies ? the morning was smil ing?the inen were smiliag? the ladies looked smil ing?and even Bonny Black cast a smiling look at Mingo as she wished him ?' A ?ery foo?i tuorrow." ' Good ye, good dea, fair sir,' said she, ' or if it rlca sure you mare, good morrow master Mingo. What have you dona with yotir handsome half-siatcr, Gyp sey.' 'I believe, Bonny Black, that ahe'a a little jealous of you; she aaw us talking together laat night, and aeemed so aulky that ahe would'nt tum out today.' ? Well, hut being a blood relation, she doea'nt desire you for a sweetheart, surely.' 'Yea, and wiahes to marry me; you know there'a no law against a horse marrying his own sister if she loves him ; the atalla of homs' atables are net like the stalls of men's cathedrala, covered with calendara of thoa?t that may intermarry and these that may not; we're locofoco in the matter of matrimony, hav ing all things in common.' 7A detestable practice, though like many other lo cofoco onea, ana one I am sorry to aay that's carried out by conservauvea to a great extent ; and I. though a female horse, shall always endeavor to kick it into oblivion,' said Bonny Black, kicking ap her beautiful black legs. ' Take care, Bonny Black, or vou'll touch me in the tendereat point, and cripple me. ' Not for a stall in ( anterbury cathedral, my much admired Mings | I would sooner kiss you than kick yon, any day or niaht.' ' For shame, Bonny Black? your mother maat have drawn water for a washerwoman ; ahe learnt yon the use of soap so soon.

But hero comes John R ; if lie sees us talking he'll suspect me of having partlyzed your heart as well as your heels.' And Mingo bent down his handsome head and smoothed down his whiskers with his nght fore foot, and surveyed the sweet women with a smile.

Stevens, and he consequently drew her, and the purse was awarded to Mingo, making the sixth he has won since May, viz New York, first spring meeting, - 91000 Trenton, 1000 Baltimore, 1000 New York, second spring, - - 1000 Trenton, 1000 New York, first fall, ... 1006 MOM And he may probably be now considered the best horse in the country.

'T*ai the Goddess of Sport, in her sylvan ?ourt, Diana, first taught this raeral, Which the Gnddet* of Leve soon adopted, aud strove To improve os the "double barrel."

This morning, as one of the market boats was dropping out from Fulton Slip, on the New York side, and getting under way to go down the I'.ast River, she was run afoul of and driven from her course by the steamboat Olive Branch. The small boat had two persons on board her, and by the activity of one of them appeared to be pre served from injury. This man, while bravely bearing oft his boat, demanded of the persons on board ihe Ferry Boat, why they hnd not stopped, or backtd their boa', or if they had intended to run him down ? A rude and dictatorial reply was made by Jona than Trotter, who was on board the Olive Branch, to the cflect that the boatman must have seen "t is, (the Olive Branch,) earning, and ought not u? have come out, until " ws " had parsed into the slip. One of the poop hands came forward in support of Trotter, and told the boatmen, who had juat escuped drowning, that when two or three of them should be run down, they would learn to get out of the way. In September, 1836, while holding the office ef Mayer of the city of Brooklyn, Trotter presided at a large meeting ot the citizens thereof, at which the following resolutions were passed unanimously lrf, lie *olved, That the Fulton Ferry Company have utterly failed to provide either a good, sufficient, or safe passage across the Fast River, to the nume rous passengsrs who have occasion to cross at said ferry. 2d, Resolved, That the Fulton Ferry Company have surreptitiously taken the caaksout of their boats, and in so uomg, have wantonly expoaed to imminent danger the l#es of the numerous persons who pass at that ferry. 3d, Resolved, That a Company of parsons, so reck less of human life as this Company have proved themselves to be in this and other instances, have forfeited all claiqns to the confidence of the communi ty} and that the public confidence, onoe withdrawn, ?an never be restored to them under any circum stances, let them provide what accomtno jationa they may. ^ 4 Ik, Resolved , That it ia the right and duty of the Corporationa of the cities of Brooklyn and New York, or of the coanties of Kings and New York, mutually to agree on, and at their joint expense lo provide, good, sufficient, and safe fames across the East Rjver, charging only such reasonable rates of ferriage as the expenses thereof may require. 6th, Resolved , That the Fulton Ferry, ander its preaent managers, is, aad ha a lang been, a nuisance^ and ought to be immediately abated. September 3, 1836. Several members of the old oempany, knowing their had no lawful title to their monopoly, ware frightened, and aold out, and Jonathan TVotter became one of the nominal purchasers, and a self constitated director, or dictator, of the new (angled concern. It may be well for the citizen* of Brooklyn to ascertain how many of their Aldermen are at oak holders in thia company. One of their number is a* Snt in the employ meat, and m the pay of this Ferry npany. Under such circumstances, should ques tions involving the security of property or even life it self, come before that body, what chance have the people for an impartial denaion 7 Among the grasping and a vcricious monopolise with which our country abounds, the Fulton Ferry Conn pa ny haa always held a prominent plana. For some ten or twelve year* past they haaa ex torted from the public a net profit of about fifty ihou ssnd dollars per srnum,snd they will continue to do il aa long as tne people will bear it.
