as i* is to be acquainted with ths marker*
abroad.
This information, thanks to American enterprise
and infenuin, can now be obtained in
a few minutes, from five different cities in the
U lion. Through the means of the telegraph, the
doings tn'the markets of to-day in those cities are
rep "I'd in the Htrald of to-morrow with as
much ease as are the markets of our own city.
It i? expected that we shall have telegraphic communication
as far anLouisviile to-day,and that the

and Savannah at the south, will be finished
about the first of January next Mobile and New
Organs will then be the only remaining cities with
which we will not have this kind of communication,
but it will not remain long so, for we understand
the work for continuing the telegraph to
th? ?e cities, is rapidly approaching completion.
Wt* shall follow the progress of the telegraph,
nnd extend our arrangements for receiving telegraphic
reports of the markets, and other intellig

Tike Fall EIniIoii In thta State.
The time appoiuted by the-whist and democrit:c
parties for the holding of their convention"
for the nomination of officers to be elected
on th* first of November next, is near at hand,
Hiid the bustle and preparation for the event have
b>-en distinctly heard, throughout the State, for
some time p*frt. The democrats will hold their'b
at Syracuse on Wednesday next, and the whigs
their* on the sixth of October at the same place.
Nominations are to be made for the following
offic
S-cr.-t*ry of State, SttU E&gln?er tod Surveyor,
< 'omptniUer, Canal CommU?loarra.
AtUiro^y OfO?rU, Inspectors of Statu Prisons.
V< generally the case, there are six or eight
,d dit-r. ot euch party for each of these offices
- ich of whom has his particular claim for
office, and each of whom has more or less
popularity. The democrats, it is supposed, will
inve great difficulty in making nominations that
will be acceptable to the party at large, in consequence
of the desire for one portion of them to
hiv?? new men, and of another to retain the o d
men. The ciuse of this trouble can be traced to
? craving for pup by some hungry office-seekers
who have looked, with longing eyes and watery
mouths in vain, for a number of years, for offices,
as rewards for the time and labor they have
spent in the cause of their party. They have
lasted so long that they are become desperate.
In this election the p-ople will probably be
called Tipon to elect a Lieutenant Governor in
place of Mr. Gardiner, who has been elevated to
the bench. A bill for that purpose passed the
lower house of the legislature on Saturday last,
and it will probably be passed in the Senate tori
.v or to-morrow, in time for the democrats to
nominate a candidate at their convention on
Wednesday.
The result of the approaching election will he
looked forward to with much interest by all
parties, in evtry State of the Union. In view
of the effect it will exercise on the Presidential
election, the two parties will use every means
in their power to secure '"ie election of their
ywn candidates. The si .fc'gte will, without
doubt, be one of the fiercest that ever took place
lu this State.
We shall report progress, and give the names
of t.ie candidates as soon as they are nominated.

that New Oranada, Peru, Chili, Bolivia, and Bnenos

It ia the intention of Gen. Flores to return to
Venezula; and we have seen it mentioned in other
Venezuela papers that his arrival will be hailed
with pleasure. There is very little doubt but
Gen. Flores occupies a prominent position in the
thoughts of the Central Americans. He is a man

Th? Canadian Pit? and Id* Mexican War?
Chang* of Opinion*
It is very well known to our readers, thai ??nee
the commencement of the war between the
' I United States and Mexico, the Canadian press,
\ has,with one or two exceptions, been bitter in denouncing
our army, volunteers and regular.',
I and has exerted itself to detract from the glory
j of our victories on every occasion.
s ! Tims our volunteers were called rabble
militia, who would scamper away at the
i first shot from the eneinv-the battles of
- | Palo Alto and Resaca de Palma were mere
? I skirmishes, in which we chanced to have
t the best of it. Monterey was a mere street
, j figh?, and the battle of liuena Vista was another
I skirmish. The taking of Vem Cruz, with no
I loss worth speaking of, was a horrible nifair, because
the number of killed and wounded on the
part of the enemy was great, while on our side
it was so trifling; and, though last not least, the
battle of Gerro tlordo was another skirmish.
How journals professing regard for truth, could
be so inconsistent,was a matter of surprise to all
who perused their ridiculous and ubsurd assertions.
Notwithstanding all their predictions to
tUe contrary, our soldiers finally reached the
capital and defeated the enemy in two severely
fought battles, which were attended with dreadtnl
slaughter, under its walls. The intelligence
of these battles reached Canada in due time, and
seem to have opened the eyes of our Canadian
friends. They are, at last, forced to acknowledge
that our soldiers are capable of doing
something.
lb an article referring to the reuent glorious
news !rom the war quarter, the Brituh Whig,
published at Kingston, which, by tKe way, has
always been most bitter against up, says
The newe from Mexico confirm* what we have long
anticipated. The American army now occnple* the
Hall* of the Monteitimas. and the Mexican republic 1*
on* of the thing* that have been. This Is not the day
when brute physioal force oan withstand selenoe, skill
and discipline : and, however, much the Mexicans may
have retarded the ooonpation of their oapital, still it haa
eoourred, as every person of common sense foresaw.
Now the fact is, the Whig, judging jby
the tone of its articles on the war, never anticipated
any thing of the kind. We grant that
every person of common sense foresaw the reduction
of the Mexican capital, unl??s the obstinate
Mexicans would accept the olive branch
we so often tendered to them ; but the Canadian
press was an exception?and in conceding to
our army, science, skill, and discipline, it contradicts
its own assertions to the contr ry,
made in numerous instances sinoe the commencement
of hostilities. Although the Canadians
were taught by the same general
who accomplished the victory at Cerro
Gordo, and won the battles of Contreras and
Churubusco, that he possessed both military
science and skill, of which they had practical
proof at Lundy's Lane, they have not acknowledged
it until they were forced to do so, and
now we give them no credit lor the acknowledgment.
The paper we refer to was too precipitate in
stating that our army occupies the Halls of the
Montezumas. The capital is not reduced, but it
is completely in our power, and we spared it only
for the purpose of saving the little character
which the Mexicans have left. It may get a
grain ot consolation from this tact, and say that
we were not able to reduce it.
The French Steamships and oitr City Authorities.?Our
readers recollect that when the
steamship Union, the pioneer oi the new French
line, arrived here, that our municipal authorities
extended to the officers the hospitalities of the
city, and otherwise showed them proper attention.
Those attentions have been gratefully acknowledged
by Heroult De Ilandell & Co., the
proprietors, in the following letter to Mayor
Brady. It was presented by Captain Hebert, of
the Union:?
Tabm, August 20, 1647.
Mb. Miroa?
We have learned from Captain Hebert, from the newsntn?ni
of Nhw York. And from t.hn fHttriHa w* hav?
iu your city, with bow much kindness you reoelred our
vessel, the Union, the flint of a line which we have established
between Havre and the commercial metropolis
of tbe United State*.
The Marquis of Kaigeoourt. Peer of France, President
of our Committee of Administration, must have already
verbally testified to you to how great a degree we were
touched by tbe proofs of frank cordiality, of affectionate
hospitality. Which you have conferred upon tbe captain
and offloers of the Union; we would have written to you
before now, had we not desired that Captain Hebert
b>mself should be the bearer of our letter; It Is a testimony
of esteem which we are pleased to bestow upon
bis kind service*.
The dutie*of your situation leave yon little time, Mr
Mayor, to undertake a voyage of pleasure, but the distance
between your beautiful city and our's Is now so
sliort. tbat we do not entirely give up the hope of seeing
you one day among us.
if so happy an event should once be brought about,
we Indulge ttix pleasing hope that you would accept, Mr
Mavor, the p?s*age tbat we are most happy to offer you
on boaH of one of our steamers, and we entreat you to
extend this offer to such of your colleagues who would
dr-cire to visit t ranee.
Be then so kind as to make it to thsm in our name,
assuring them that we are exceedingly grateful for the
Hi ad attentions which yon have bestowed upon our
offloers and agent); please slso have the kindness to be
the Interpreter of our sentiments to the American press,
by whioh we bave been treated with so muoh kindness;
In faot, if such a thing were possible, to your whole population.
for every where have we found friendly feelings.
(everything induces us to hope that our friendly relations
will be an durable as they are sinoere; it is our most
ardent desire; we beg yon to believe it, Mr. Mayor, and
also to be assured of the affeotlonate feelings with which
We have the honor to remain
Your most bumble and ob't servants,
The Directors of the French Transatlantic Company,
(Signed) ilEROULT, DE HANDEL ?t CO.
It is. indeed, desirable that thi* friendlv rein
tions existing between the United State* and
France, and between the city of New York and
the city of Paris, should be as durable as they are
sincere, and we hope the day is far distant when
any cause, calculated to alter them, shall arise.
Theatrical and Musical.
Par* Thkatrk.?Mrs. Mowatt's new play, " Armand,
or the Child of the People," Is to be prodaoed this
evening, the fair authoress performing the principal
character. We understand it is a story of great interest,
written in blank verse, and abounding in passages
of poettoal beauty. The play is strongly cast, and wil1
bn put upon the stage in the most perfect style?new
scenes, new costumes and decorations. This is as It
should be. Mrs. Mowatt's mnse has here roamed abroad
lu a wider field, and taken a higher range than before;
it is an Intellectual aim and effort of no oommon kind
Minds of the highest order have failed in this most
difficult species of composition, and few productions
have attained any rank or permanenoe on the stage
It will be the greater tribute to her genius and her
powers, should she sucoeed The aspirants in this path
of fame, have been few in this country, and mostly unsuccessful;
and the improvement in dramatic literature
is far behind th* advance whlob our eountry has made
in the other walks of polite letters. But why is this?
Thers Is a wild, bold, and original genius among us?
the mind, under our Arse institutions, is unfettered In
1 It* conception* ana utterance or feeling? w? are a
I people of energy and warm passions. and keenly alive

work?one that will hold possession ol the stage, and
thatlwlll form an addition to the permanent (took of our
national literature. We have the element! of Inspiration
and success? we have the genius to embody
what we feel, and to clothe the impulse* of the soul with
grandeur, with power, and with the coloring of troth
and beauty ; yet the ?tlinulaut Is wanting to develop*
these faculties, and lead them on from progress to perfection.
There 1* a wonderful and lamentable apathy

a prejudice too, a* fatal to It* growth, as it is founded In
Injustice It tend* to undervalue the talent of native
writers, and to decry every production that doe* not
bear the stamp of a foreign pen, and a London audience:
as if poetry and reeling, and the power of observing and
describing the phase* of human character, were bounded
by one nation and one clime, and 'twere the fate of
America to be degraded aud proscribed. Americans,
let a new era dawn on us, let taste and discrimination

this eveuing by a double oompany, and will be
produoed with perfeot correotneBS of oostuma and scenery,
both of which have been expressly made for the occasion,
and are said to be of the most gorgeous
and beautiful description. This piece is divided
into four grand parts or visions?the first displaying
the f?ll of Matamoras?the second, the
oapture of Monterey?the third, the bombardment of
Vera Crux, and the fourth the battle of Bu*na Vista?all
the great actions and remarkable incidents *hat

which for splendor and accuracy has never been excelled

eminently ?aeoei?ful and will hare a great run.
Chatham thutaa.?During the present season of
theatrloal excitement, Mr. Kletoher, the able and enterprising
manager of the Chatham theatre, la determined
' that hi* mug little place of amuuement shall not esoape
the recollection of the pablio, or fall to reoelve Its due
share of patronage. He produces this evening a new
original drama, whloh has been written expressly for
him, and whioh he wiil bring forth without regard to ex*
pttnse. It is entitled the " Lonely Man of the Ooean, or
the Night Before the Bridal." We have not attended
any ef the rehearsals, but from those who have, we learn
that it will create quite a stir in the oountry. We have
seen the oast, however, and all we can say is th?t it will
be well performed Neafle, Sullivan, Brandon, Winans.
Mr*. Nloholls, Miss HilJmth and Mr*. Herbert.will <'n*ot
the leading ohtrarters. and their reputation is a guarantee
that they will not puffer In their hands Pk.-vIous to
the new piece, a favorite short comedy will b? performed.
The manager has entered the lists for competition with
the determination to come out among the winners, apd
from the way in whloh he bas started in the race, we
are confident that he will accomplish all he desire*, and
reoelve a* muoh patronage as he hope* for.
Palmo'i Opera House.?The favorite Gabriel Ilavel
will reoelve his last benefit in this oity at Falmo'a Opera
House this evening, and ha* advertised as the evening's
amusements, a bill which will certainly make It one of
the best benefits of the season. The performances will commence
with " Boot* at the Swan," which will be acted by
Mr. Waloot and Miss Clarke, to be succeeded by tight
rope exercise* by the Havel Family, to be followed by
" La Fete Champetre," but the most interesting part of
the amusements will be a aeries of extraordinary gymnastic
exercises by Mons. Maroetti, whloh have never
before been nerformed in this cltv. The whole will be
followed by "Mons. Dttchalumeau.'' It will be strange indeed
if rumo's be not filled thli evening.
Circui?Bowerv Amphitheatre.?Mr. Tryoii presenta
quite a combination of attractiona at his old stand,
the Bowery Ciroua. He bu engaged both Signor Felix
Carlo, the eminent Italian clown, and the well known
Holland Acrobat Family. The usual stock company of
equestrian and gymnastic performers alio go through
their various ploustng pert'ormanues. To-night, after
Signor Carlo haa opened his budget of omioalities, t he
Holland family will go through their wonderful Olympian
games, ou a barrel, and following this there will be prostated
the Chinese extravaganza of the Chines* Fair, or
the Fool of Pekin. The performances In the circle will
oonolude the evenlng'a entertainments.
Hebz ako Sivoai's Concert.?Thla week will be one
of great amusement to thoae who are fond of oonoerta,
and to-morrow(Tuesday)evening, Messrs. Hers and 8iv- f
ori will open the campaign in a grrnd concert, at the M
Broadway TaOernaole. This is the first time that our J'
citizens have the opportunity of hearing these two emi- ,
nent performer* on the satne evening, as on their pre- ?
vioua visits here they had not united their foroes. In 0
addition to their own attractions they have secured the ?
services of Madame Fleury Jolly, who has postponed her c
departure to New Orleans expressly to asaiat at thla ?
concert. Signor Kapettl will direct the grand orohea- H
tra engaged for the oooasion. t

that Congress was not disposed to approve even

had offered to meet at Qutretaro, that place
teing the centre of operations for those opposed

rsi offensive to several military chiefs, although
hey had been so far adherents of Santa Anna. And
inally, the disappearance of lien Valencia, as well as the

" Another Havana paper, the Faro InJu$trial, says: We
lave seen a letter written at Tacubaya, on tha Vtith ot

imung other thing*, contains the following:

the army of the enemy, commanded by Santa Anin,
at Churubusco, four miles from Mexico, where It was
idvantogeously posted To this polut we were able to
bring up only two light batteries of eight guns. The

Travelling on the Ohio?Boat Race, fa.
Did you ever execute a specimen of the noble art of
penmanship aboard a steamboat, while the same wan
shaking as If it bad oaught the favorite disease of these
parts?the ague ? If not. you will not be prepared to
decipher the meaning of the various parts of this letter
with patienoe. We have Just been paused, after a hard
effort to prevent It. by a sister boat. oai)0d the Cinderella,
and our machinery is fuming and raging a? if chagrin
and rage were consuming her. A boat race.'--at
well a cow race over t he Long | eland course. No unfklr
comparison, when it 1? known that neither of the boaU
can make ten miles an hour, down stream too. The
lightest boits only can now make the run from Cincinnati
to Pittsburg. and, being steamboats, they art
sn-'ils. We left Pittsburg on the evening of the 26th.
and have not yet reaohed Portsmouth ; but enjoy thu
delightful prospect of arriving lu Cincinnati to-morrow
forenoon. It will then have taken three days and a half
to make the trip ; the greater part of two nights lying
by.
But If one were travelling for pleasure and "seeing the
country," as the Yankees call it, he could not be more
fortunate than to fall upon one of these steamboats,
when the river Is low, and when the fog prevents them
from running at night. Few rivers in the United 8t*Uf
offer a greater variety of beantiful scenery than the
Ohio, i say beautiful, because there is nothing grand
uor sublime about any of It They inspire the beholder
with contentment while he looks on, and oause him to
exclaim''how sweet a spot for two contented heart*."
The eye, when making the olrole of the horizon, never
falm upon vacancy, but U always relieved by blnlln o!
over varying character. I advisn my friends, therefor*,
who poMean that happy turn of mind, which dellghteth
in surveying the" beauties of nature," and who posses-,
lhat still inore happy companion of the traveller
plenty of time, to choose this season of the year
lor their journey along the Ohio. When the river 1?
up, to every question asked in the form of " when shall
we reach ? ?" you receive the answer, " we passed it
In the night."
Looking at the Ohio in another point of view, wonder
fills us that nothing has been done to improve the clian
uel. When the river is swollen. there is no difficulty Id
'he navigation of course ; but when it is at as low a stage
as at present, shoals offer great impediments And
at every one of these, the mind is impressed with the
con fiction of how small and insignificant a sum of money
would remove them all, taking into consideration the
multiplied and harmenious Interests involved. But
what is every body's business is nobody s business,''
and the Ohio remains neglected. Had she been fortuo'lte
enough to have her lot oast In some single Stute.it hail
then been other vise What a singular feature of mau'r
nature is display* d in the truthful proverb just quoted.
What a peculiar feature of American obaracter is displayed
in the modlfloation which a large party has attempted
to give it in constitutional law " What if
every body's bustneos is nobody's business," and " whal
is nobod j's business is Uncle Sam's business," aid agitln
what isevsry b uly's business IsUnile Sam's business''
Perhaps the truest conclusion, aud yet the. least logioal,
would be " what it Una!* Sam's business Is every body's
business."

Wall street it getting quiet again. The excitement
growing out of the failures,'and tli? explosion of the
the fancy stock bubbles, U rapidly nubs'.ding and tbl'i&s
will soon settle down Into the former channel*, end the
brokers will be compelled to shire each other, toeie out
their bread and butter. The outsiders hare had enough
of Wall street shaviug to last tbom many months, and It
will be u long tun* before they c*n again be drawnjnto
tho babbles whioh the brokers periodically Inflate to attract
this species of game. The effect < f a very extensive
inflation in any fancy 1? generally f it a long time,
and an explosion of one of these bubbles leaves the
market in very depressed condition.
Prices for most of the fancies rule very low, comparatively
in the face of an easy money market. Should there
be a tightness in the market and the effect upon quotations
for fancies be what we might expect from such a change'
a decline often per|rent from present prices, would not be
beyond the mark, bat we could hardly anticipate such a
fall, no matter what might be the complexion of the
money market. Prices bavo been dtpres.ed lower than
the state of the money m&rket justifies by the transactions
of the oornerers, whioh were oarried on for such a
length of time by boll speculators, and it is therefore the
impression that as soon as the effeot of the recent failures
has been removed, the fancies must come up a
little?the money market and all other things remain
tng the limn.
To undertake to name any price ? biting the probablo
value of the principal fancy stocks, would be attempting
too much. It la In the power of every one having capital
to Invest in theae stocks to satisfy himself as to that
part of the business, but temporary Investments, merely
for speculation, are not of so muoh importance, as n
such cases more d?pends upon the state of tho market,
and the probable perfection of a corner, than upon any
real improvement from time to tine in the security. It
is, however, a very extraordinary fact, that purchases
for investment frequently are made at the top of
the market, under the impression that there nevir
will be a better opportunity, that the advance
in prloen is the result of a real improvement in the value
of the etook, and that it will soon reach par, and become
a dividend payment security. Such is the effoct of these
inflations upon the minds of many. The Influence of
the speculations is exhibited in another shape. Holders
ot tancy stocks very seldom take advantage of the highest
point In prlres to realize; they hold on for a little better
j.rioe. until the bubble bur?ts, and a fall of fire, tea
or nrieen per o?m iu ? u?j, im?w.
