The didactic essayist in Harptr's Magazine, I who declared, in Aligns},- that AmeWcan gen tlemen generally W'ero.dii-bred. end impolite, and that “our countryman la too oltea known abroad by. his high pretcnslonaapd low breed ing”—-drops down on thoA tnericak ladies in' the September number, (just issued;) and visits them with his censure and displeasure. Heda clarea that “society generally has a right to more than it gets from our American woman, | and especially ' On the score of courtesy;” i that “to be seed of ail men is the highest dm bition Of oUr beauties, and they take care to spread ;their plumage before every eye;” that “our women, cunning as they may be In most arts, want the art of pleasing that (■they not only have it not, but seem uhwllling to acquire it; ’’ that it shows Itself “even in their chance Intercourse with strangers, in a characteristic deficiency of gracloushesp of mi tanner—that small return which every Ameri can gentleman has a right to expect for the gal lantry lie is so ready to profferand that they ! “never give a smile of acknowledgment, or utter a simple thank-you; for the thousand favors” [the best seat and the first place] which they i are « daily receiving from their gallant conn* 1 toymen.” He adds, «If what Livy says of I woman be true—that she ,is more, amiable abroad ' than at home—we should fear that American husbands have not a very pleatnnt tifHoof it et their own firesides*” ' This is a pretty strong indictment. But this is not all. The essayist—who performs ■ for tfarper what «the heavy ffther” does for, a lively comedy, relieving the gaiety by a little : gentle dplness—actually says / •‘iTWs-Wttdof gracious acknowledgment of fa* ! von received .in the ordinary intercourse of out* door lifecsn not'be. excused on the so ore of modest reserve; for where does woman carry a bolder air, in' public than with us?

Then follow diatribes touching the "character istic daring of ourwtonen;” their “certain self assurance," and their "prominence of manner." Bard words, but not the worst; for this cruel Minor norum takes care to add:.« Whatever may be the cause, there is no doubt of the fact, that our female youth ore more in the public eye, have a bolder face, a. looser tongue, and. afreet, air, than used to be considered consistent with the character of a young gen tlewoman.” The essayist, who evidently is a bachelor soured by a score of refusals, daintily reproves our belles for having beaux, at an earlier age than young ladies in the Old World think of such things.- "Long,” says ho, “beforea girl in England or France dares to raise her eyes to the face of a newly-made acquaintance, In America, so rapid is her progress, that she probably will have secured him for an acknow ledged lover.” Think, lie. says, of the con sequences to female virtue of such freedom of wilt on the part of our young ladies. “We may. state, however, that the experience of the Old World is against its safety; and it is only in our own country where a girl is allowed to form intimacies with a score of ardent beaux who are not even speaking acquaintances with •her parents.”. Dangerous they, may not bo to female mo rals, lie says, but injurious this youthful free dom certainly is to female manners. « Yes,” says he, “ it emboldens iht front, it opens wide the'eye; raises loud the voice, and gives an air of reckless daring to our youthfhl beauties, in whom ever)’ man—not excepting the rake— who has taste enough to admire the semblance, even if he care not for the reality, of virtue, wonld.wisb to find the blush, the gentle look, the soft speech, and the retired bearing of modesty.” .' The moralsof our females, be says, may be good, but their manners .ate bad. Their con versation, he,assures us, ia “nothingbut goi sip and the commonplaces of female fashion,'’ . with which a mania “ boted to death.’’ 1 Why .splenetic, self-sufficient cynic, should haVc written all these libels—for such they are—may be easily enough aeponnted for-' But we are utterly at a loss to know on what grounds Harper’s Hagasixie has adopted them- If our y opag ladies were only a quarter as bold-faced, loose-foßgued, daring, ungracious, flaunting, loud-voiced, bronzed, bold-eyed, Amazonian, •a* the msgazinist declares them to be, they would rise en masse, rush to Franklin square bit the impulse of the moment, bear away with them, from Harper’s stately, edifice,: tlieir doomed assailant, and, giving him anewholi day.suit of Ur and feathers, .turn him adrift with a contemptuous smile. But as they are not what their assailant calls them, they will bo content to smile at him, and dispense with any fhrther vengeance. . ' In the two articles oh the question “Are wc a polite people ?” the writer has repeatedly re ferred to his Old World experience and predic tions.

Inthoso countries, old bachelorship is more kindly entreated than In this,—we assume, Dorn in. tomal evidence, the condition of the man.

On their part, we deny them. The proof now rests with Harper• We calmly, await it on the part of our fair clients. Let it come*, NEPOTISM* The distinguishing trait of ail Governments, not-deriving their powers directly from the people, is to be found in the fact that they seem to exist for the purpose, not merely of maintaining the few at the expense of the many, but for the purpose of quartering upon the public revenues and the public efflees cer tain titled families, who claim to bo honored and ennobled by tbeir ancestors or their mon arebs. The list of these aristocratic paupers and stipendiaries for each of the leading powers of Europe would startle our uninitiated sim plicity, and suggest to more than one mind a doubt as to the sanity of those who submit to suchthings without taking the law into their own strong hands. Nepotism, as popularly under stood, is'imdue attachments relations by those in power i technically the word means fondness for'nephews, or; as Wbbsteb expresses it, favoritism shown to nephews and other rela tions. Adbisox tells us that it was to this humor of nepotism that Rome owed its splendor and magnificence, for it would have been impossi ble to have furnished out so many glorious palaces with such a profusion of pictures, statues, and the like ornaments, had not the riches of the people; at several times, fallen into the .hands of mapy different families and particular persons. ’ In this country, whore every man can aspire to position, there is a natural Jealousy of this evil of nepotism, and nothing goes so tar to damage a public man in the estimation of his constituents as the fact that lie concentrates upon his own relatives and connexions the patronage in hiil gilt. And it is by this jealousy thst we are protected from the abuse of the confidence reposed in our representatives and executives, and that by this time the practice hM not extended farther. There are, indeed, many cases which could bo pointed ont in which nepotism has been allowed to prevail over distinguished merit and recognised ability. So many expedients can be resorted to at our great Federal and State capitals, that it would bo expecting miracles if they did hot sometimes succeed. The present Chief Magis trate of the United States has always been hostile to the encouragement of this habit, as indeed has nearly every one - of his illustrious predecessors.' Regarding themselves as trus tees'of the whale people,,they have, It is pro bable, carried opposition -to family favoritism sofaras, in some cases, to do injustice to those who have deserved consideration, not because Of their relationship, but on account of their Sacrifices'<u>d servlces to the cotintry in time of peace and war. ; It ls cnrions to ‘ observe how- the people, 1 In Certain cases’/ unwittingly encourage some of the very practlces against which they would be the firjjt to pretest if fityered by thelrdelegatcs et nfreemtathes. In the very las* Congress then were ho less thanthreo bfothers (the ‘ sitting in'the Housoof Representatives, from the respective States of Maine, Illinois, and Wisconsin, and those geng tloipen, Republicans as they were, seemed to be so much attached to the example sot by the voters, that they succeeded in securing an office for a 'rourtit brother., It is only a few years ago that this Hon. Henry Dodoe and his son sat side by side in.the Senate of the United-States, the one as a representative of Wisconsin, and tho other as the representa- tive of lowa. Not long ago the two dis tinguished brothers Inoersoii, one a demo crat and the other a whig, were members at the same time of the House of Representatives, chosen ftom the city and county of Philadel phia. In all theso casus, however, the parties honored by the popular confidence were emi nently deserving oflt. An objection to an evil may sometimes be carried to ridiculous extremes. Thus, let us suppose that six brothers, each emi nenfc in his own vocation, the one a leading inventor or mechanic, the other a great soldier, the third a distinguished lawyer, the fourth a profound statesman, the fifth an eminent artist, and so on, should aspire to office at the hands of the people!, or to appointment at tho hands of the Executive ; it would assuredly be most unjust if any one should snfl’er be cause of his relation to tho others, inasmuch as all would be eagerly sought for if they were strangers instead of relatives. Nepo tism, as we understahd it, is the appointment of persons to office only because they are members of certain families or Connected with certain leading men. A custom equally per-, nicious is the fastening upon the body politic the unworthy descendants of worthy ancestors —brokers upon the glories of heroic fathers or grandfathers—men who, in their own per sons, have neither the ability nor the character to make them acceptable or qualified foreleyated position. In a country like ours there is always a large class of men disappointed because they cannot obtain office, themselves, and otbers independent enough to do without office, but who are disposed to criticize and condemn somewhat too freely, perhaps, the doings of the men they assist to elect, and hence it is right and proper that the utmost care should be taken to leave no door open for the encour agement of thoso examples which reflect so much discredit upon Governments in which great families wield tho whole vast power of the throne, and farm away millions and millions of money which should be dispensed among the masses to promote their comfort, or distributed so as to keep the peace with other nations. Fortunately for us and for our posterity, pubi lie office in this country is not paid at the ex travagant ratos it commauds in tho Old World. Ambition can bo gratified only by the oxhibi tion of rare personal gifts or uncommon intel lectual advantages, and lie who roaches the dazzling heights of fame often finds that the fulfilment of Ills dreams leaves him loaded down witli a weight of public duties, and often with a burden of private debts. It is this which so elevates al! the branches of labor and o trade. It is this which promotes disinterested ness among the great body of our cltizons, so far as public station is concerned; and it is this, wo regret to say, that sometimes retains in the ranks of active professional and commercial life great intellects which, if properly compen sated, might bo transferred to the halls of leg islation and to the executlvo department of the Government. CORRESPONDENCE. FROM WASHINGTON. Warmnoton, August 19,1857. I learn from a gentleman juat from Tennessee, that Governor Johnson will be one of the United States Senators to be elected by the next Legisla ture of that State, and that the other will be either Governor J. C. Jones, Hon. Geo. W. Jones, General Pillow, Mr. Ewing, or Mr. Nicholson. Both will be Democrats and supportersof the Administration. It is not true that General Walker, of Nicaragua, was in this city as stated in tho despatch of the Associated Press. At the time mentioned he left Augusta, Georgia, for his home in Nashville. Look ridge and others aro in western Texas, where, it is said, they are collecting men and money for another invasion of Central America. Spruce M. Beard, nominated by tho Democracy of New Mexico as delegate to Congress, is the same gentleman who was sent by the Bepublio of Texas to Santa Fe as judge of that distriot, and who went there in the face of many threatening perils. Next Monday is the limit of the time within which proposals may be received for the construc tion of the sloop of war authorised by the lost Congress. As yet, the board to examine the models end offers has not been selected, nor has it been .fixed by tho Department by what rale it* members shall be guided in their choice. There is competition amongst the ship-building cities for the work; I hope it will go to Philadelphia. The name of Mr. Rfggs, of Connecticut, was sent In to the President to-day to fill 'the vacant tteutenantcy in the marine corps. This young man deserves the place because of hfs gal lantry as a private soldier daring tho war with Mexico. Washington, August 22,1857. For the last few days there has been an unusual number of visiters in Washington city. The hotels present the same lively excitement that is to be witnessed during the week immediately previous to tbo commencement of a new Congress. The in quiry naturally suggests Itself, why are so many of our honorables now in the Federal Metropolis? We should judge from thoregularity with which they visit the White House, and tbo Departments, that they had business of pressing importance, and which would admit of no delay. Of the members of Con gress a larger portion arc from Now York. Your editorial on Mr. Keitt’s recent Sulphur Spring letter baa created quite a sensation here, and is universally approved by all whom I have heard speak on th? subject. There was great de mand for the paper in which it was, after the sup ply hod,been exhausted. Mr. Keltt has donehhn sclf no credit, but the Administration much good, by this demonstration. Ho h>is allowed his pas sions and his prejudices, to 'say nothing of bis anxiety to bo the Senator from South Carolina, so completely to get the better of his judgment, that all his rhetorical Culminations rebound upon him solf, and in looking over the list of killed and wounded we find the record to consist of the name of the Hon. Mr. Keltt alone. X hear from the best authority that tho Secretory of War will, this evening, despatch a special mes senger to tho army for Utah* I have good reason to beliove that this messenger is sent thither to seo that the mails for the officers and men are regularly delivered, os it is well known that Drjgbam Young and his confederates are in the habit of interfering and tampering with the United States malls, and making postal arrange ments to suit themselves.

[From the Albany Knickerbocker of 21st last,] Portage City was tho scene of a bloody tragedy a few evenings since. A man, named Wm Rey nolds, formerly of Albany, was ono of a firm who lately purchased the lands and water-power for merly owned by Nelson McNeil. The land was a tract of thirty-three acres on the Military Reser vation. which was bought by MoNeJI a few years age, when the reservation was sold by the Govern ment, The same tract was claimed by John Dußay, under some dubious or extlnot Indian title. Lately Mr. Reynolds has been building a house on the tract, to be occupied by the head man in the mill. The frame was erected but not covered. Within a few hours Doßay went to the frame, which is a small one, and eut it down. About sundown the next evening Reynolds went there and commenced putting up the frame again. Dußay came out acd ordered him off. Some loud words passed between them, Reynolds oeasing .work and standing by a pile of logs near the frame. Doßay then went to Us house, about ten rods distant, and got his gun— nfeavy double-barreled fowling piece, loaded with lie returned *# the frame, recommenced the con versation, and highly exoltedj deliberately raised Mi gna, end took aim* two or three times, before firing: and then ihotftey&olds.througb the heart! Reynolds fell and expired Instantly. . Dußay then coolly Returned to his bouse and commenced eating supper. The assassin was arrested and taken to jau. Reynolds left Albany In 1850. He onoe kept a grocery in the vicinity of the DUtie Rwto. THE PftESS.-PHILADELPHiA, MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 1857.

CONSOLS SO l-3a90 1-4. Qcrbec, August 22.—The Csubdlta screw-steamship Anglo-Saxon arrived at this port this (Sunday) mom lag. She left Liverpool at about 2 o’clock P, yr on Wednesday, the 12th last. The route of the Anglo S&xon wm too far north of the line selected for the Atlantic cable to lead to any expectation of her falling in with the telegraph cable fleet. Her officers report much thick weather, and con* stant head-winds through the whole passage. Owing to an accident on shore, connected with the landing of the cable, the telegraph expedition did not finally sail from Valenti*, Ireland,, until the evening of Friday, the *th Inst. The latest report from Valentia is dated August 10, 4 o’clock p.

Vp to the present time about three hundred miles of the cabin hare been laid. iThe depth of the water lntowhich it is now being submerged is nearly two miles. The laying of the cable from*the shallow to the deep water was effected without diffi* culty. The signals from on board the steamer Niagara are everything that an electrician could desire. "The steamers are heading west, with A moderately fitlr breeze, and the cable is being run out from on hoard the Niagara, at the rate of about five ralles.per hour, and messages are being constantly received on shore?'.The following la the latest flash from on board the Niagara i All well on board , moderate westerly wind.

'Lord John Russell had reported from the Parliamen tary Select Committeo, that the Jews could not be ad mitted as members of Parliament, undertho existing act for the modification of oaths. Lord Palmerston explained to tho IToaso bf Commons the difficulties with France, with regard to the Molda vian elections, and stated that it bad boon decided in conference at Osborn to recommend the Sultan to annul the late elections. Lord PAlmerston also stated that there had been djff<>: ronces between the English and French Governments relative to the Principalities—wrfas to their union, but simply as to the regularity of the elections. There was good reason to believe that Austria would concur with the decision arrived at between the French and English Governments, and that the Sultan, seeing that there was nothing in the measures recommended that would com promise bis dignity or independence, would adopt their views, and declare the elections void. Lord Palmerston said there was no ground to appre hend any estrangement between France and England on account of the Moldavian difficulties. A spirited debate had taken place in Parliament In regard to affairs in India. Lord Palmerston stated that thirty thousand troops had been sont out, and that active recruiting was going on. Mr. D’lsraell expressed tho opinion that the campaign for this year was lost. The Emporor and Empress of France had returned safely to Paris. John Bright had been returned to Parliament from Birmingham without opposition. The continental news Is generally devoid of in. tercst. The trial of Spollen for the murder of Mr. Little, of Dublin, resulted in his acquital. The French news fa of little Interest. The journals unanimously support the attitude assumed by the French Ambassador at Constantinople. A despatch from Vienna states that the representa tives of France, Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia ham announced, in notes couched in precisely similar terms, the cessation of diplomatic relations with the Porte, and the approaching departure from Constantinople. The Russian Ambassador struck his flag on the Oth lost.

Cooper was in all probability the oldest printer in the city. His death was hastened by a fall, the effects of which he did not recover from. Nearly forty.years ago he was poisoned by eating a plate of oysters in which there was an infusion of arsenio. Mr. Cooper was a pressman, in the days in which he performed the manual labor.

Although not much known, and in humble life, he was highly respected by all who knew him.

The parties to the affray wero an actor named Theodore Nimms, lately engaged at Wallnck’s Theatre, and a Tombs lawyer named Wagstaff. Thoy mot in the bar room and quarrelled, and after many hard epi thets, WagfitfltF struck Nimms a powerful blow. Nimms recovering in a moment. dr«w n revolver and fired twioo m quick succession at Wagstaff. Tbo first ball hit Wftgstaff’s arm, and passed into fne breast, injuring the lungs. The second bail passed through the mouth and upwards through "J bead, aj>art of whioh was shot off. Wagstaff Sllit .“°° r A corpse. Nimms retreated im mediately into the street. The news soon spread, arm sroa fc excitement prevailed among a largo crowd whioh gathered immediately. The police arriving, conveyed the body of tne man to the Fourteenth Ward station-house, in Spring street. They ulso arrested a boy who was behind the bar when the Killing was done. Nimms is about fcwen ty-fivo years of age. Wag,toff is a few year, older. Immediately after the fatal shot Nimms walked out, sayma ho would go to the station-house and give himself up; but a few block, off ho met Mr. John E. King, an intimate friend, who asked what was the matter. Nimms said he had shot a man or killed h man, and was going to give himself up He then briefly related the circumstances, and Mr King advised him to go home, as his wife was in feeble health. After some demur Nimmsfcoasent ed, and Mr. King walked with him to his houso, No. fis2lloufdon street. OnthewuyMr. King told Mm that possibly tho man was not killed, and he had better say nothing about it to alarm his wife. They wont in, and immediately despatched a mes senger to ascertain tho extent of WagstaiFs inju ries, and then seated themselves on the sofa to await his return. In the meantime a large crowd collected in Broadway. The police were soon on the ground, and officers were despatched in various directions to arrest Nimms, who was supposed to have fled. Ser geont Williamson and Officer Williams, of the 74th precinct, proceeded at once to Nimms’ bouse and rang the bell. Mrs. Nimms came to the door, ana Mr. King came immediately behind her, thinking it was their messenger returning. The officers entered immediately and arrested King, supposing him to bo Nimma. Mrs. Nimms imme diately tainted, and went into a succession of hys teria fits. Mr. Nimms went with the officers willingly, saying that he had done nothing ex cept in defence- During the night bis wife and sister visited him at the station-house. He is a young man of respectable appearance and well connected. He has been assistant librarian of the City Library, and has heretofore borne an excellent character. He is an amateur actor of considerable ability, but does not rely upon that profession for a livelihood. The body of Wagstaff was removod to the Fourteenth precinct station house, where it still remains. He has a wife re siding in Eighth avenue. He was a strong athletic man, somewnat given to strong drink, and not of a verv peaceable disposition. His ostensible means ofltvelihood was practising as a lawyer about tho Tombs and inferior courts. About ton o’clock this morning tho coroner em pannclled » jury, and after a patient investigation it was shown that Nimns had aotod in self-defonco. The testimony boing clo3Cd, tho jury, after an ab sence of an hour and a half, returned the follow ing verdict: ft‘'sVe find that tho decoded camo to bis doath by a pistol shot, firod by Theodore S. Nunns, on the night of tho 2lst inat., at 480 Broadway.” Tho jury wore then discharged, with tho thanks of tho coroner. Tho prisoner was nost brought into tho room, and addressed by the coroner as follows: “ Tho jury in this case have rendered tho follow ing verdict." (Reads it and continues.) “From the testimony which is given in this case, it leaves the matter opon, and I shall, therefore, discharge you upon my own responsibility. The case is not one, in my opinion, which could warrant me to hold you—lt Is clearly a case of self-dcfonce. I shall, however, hand the paper over to the Grand Jury, for their future action. You are discharged, sir." Several of Mr. Nimns’ friends now gathered around him, and Bhook him warmly by tne hand; bo seemed much gratified by bis release, and came forward and shook bands with tho coroner, thank ing him at the same time for the patience whiob ho and the jury had evinced in the investigation. This morning, about nine o’clook, a terrible affair occurred between James Began and Peter Vieto, partners in tho boot and shoo trade, doing business under the Howard Hotel, corner of Maiden lane and Broadway. It appears that Vieto, wbo is a Frenchman, lived with bis family in tbo premises aforesaid, and that for some time past Began has suspected that bis partner was appropriating to his own use more than his share of the proceeds of the business. No open outbreak between them, how ever, took place till this morning, when a man named Cose brought in some work which be had been finishing. They wero indebted to him in the sum of eight dollars, and Vieto paid him three dol lars on account, and g&ve him some more work for him to do. To this Began objeoted, and said that no more work should be made up till they should get out of debt. A controversy then ensned between tne partners, which soon merged into an angry alter cation, during which Regan, as obargea, seised a heavy shoe hammer and dealt Vieto a powerful blow on the head with it. Tho viotim fell insensi ble to the floor, from whiob he was soon taken up and conveyed to the New York Hospital. The doctor, under whose charge he was placed, pro nounced his skull to have received a compound fracture, and thought it impossible for Vieto to recover. Began, the assailant, was arrested and conveyed to the Tombs, where he was locked up to await the result of the injuries he had inflicted. About six weeks ago, the proprietors of the St. Nioholas hotel, in oxamlning uieir books, discovered a deficit in the accounts, and that money to a con siderable amount was missing. The books were thoroughly examined, when the extent of the de falcation at every step became more apparent. Suspicion at once .rested upon John M. Lawler, wbo has been for a number of roars connected with the house as bookkeeper, and a close watch was set upon his movements. Mr. John P. Treadwell, ono of tho proprietors of tho hotel, having bocomo satisfied that the embezzlement bad been committed by Lawler, re paired to the Jefferson Market polloe coart, and there made affidavit sotting forth that Lawler, during the months of June and July,, last past, feloniously stole, embezzled, and carried away from the possession of said Treadwell ’ and bis copartners, Virgil, Whitcomb and Oheater Lamb, about one thousand two. hundred and eighty three dollars and twelvooents—and,further, that since his engagement in the house four or five years ago, the said Lawler had stolen and embezzled $5,000 and upward. Upon the affidavit of Mr. Treadwell ana others, Justico Flandreau Issued a warrant for tho arrest of tho accused, and a war rant to search his promises. Lawler was arrested by Officers Elder and McCord, threo days ago, and for some reason or other has been kept prisoner at the hotel sinoe that time. It Is estimated that the embezzlement will not fall far sbortof $lO,OOO, and itmay possibly exceed that sum. Tho accused is a young man, and very modest and quiet in his behavior, since his arrest we un derstand that ho has confessed his guilt in tho matter, and statodthathc has taken over $5OOO shoo the Ist of January, 1857. With the moneys thus embezzled, it appears, Lawler has purchased property in or about the city of Albany, whiob pro perty he now bolds in his own name. Several months ago bo became quite attached to a lady of wealth from California, and has interested himsolf greatly in her business affairs. It is said that be has a large omoun t of this lady’s money in his hands, but declines at present to givo it up. It appears that for the last four years Lawler has been employod at the hotel as entry-clerk, and was always very regular in tho disonarge of his duties, so much so that he won the entire con fidence of Mr. Treadwell, until about three weeks ago, when ho observed something in his actions rather peculiar, and on Thursday last the sus picions entertained of bis dishonesty were oloarly founded, as the above faots fully show. Last ovening Mr. Treadwell called upon hiia, p and conversed for somo time about the matter, and finally askod him to divulge tbo amount which he had taken. Aftor some little hesitation, he said that it was about $B,OOO. Ho, however, informed Mr, Troudwoll that ho was roady at any moment to make a restitution, and urged upon Mr. Tread* woll to aocopt. Ho was, bowevor, informed by that gentleman that tbo matter must be adjudicated before the propor authorities. Lawler, U is under-, stood, is very' respectably connected. His mother resides in Albany, and on looming tho condition of her son took on quite freoly. He will have a hearing on Monday. There were seven hundred deaths in the city for tho week ending to-day, being an Inoreaso of sixty our over last week. THE MOlffEY MARKET. Puiladblpbia, August 22,1857. TbU has been another heavy day la Stocks. At the first board Reading Railroad fell to 33but rallied again to 33#. Camden and Amboy R. R. declined X, and Schuylkill Navigation preferred %. The bonks are discounting less freely, and the prices of stock are de pressed, but no material change is noticeable inthe rates for money on the street. Nothing is done for less thou s©lo, and good builnasa paper sells at 10 to 13 cent. The public attention continues to be directed to the unusual and continued low prlcoofrailroadsecurities, and Opinions entertained show the widest differenced. A. few are found who are disposed to follow the counsels of the New York J/traid, and count almost all railroad stocks as entirely worthless, and the bonds as far from being secure, while others, in a painful state of uncertainty' watch the markets for a favorable opportunity of rcaU zing, even at the prevailing depressed prices. The daily accounts of this Presidont, or that railroad com piny proposing a plan by which to escapo from the dilemmas in which bad management has placed their corporations, does not tend at all to improve mat ters. Disinterested parties read over their schemes with ch the some feeling that the hackm&n regarded that bellicose and deformed poet, Pop{* He generally used, by way of oath, the expletive, “God mend me!” He used this expression one day in a dispute about a coach fare, when the hackman, looking upon his shoulders, exclaimed, “Mend you! ItwouMnotbeh&lf the trouble to make a new one!” But the case of the railroad companies is only like' that of tho rhymer in this, that it would seem that th.'y sadly need mending. We, oursolvea, believe that a new era of railroad management is near at hand, under which their earnings will not only suffice to pay the in tercut on their bonds, but also to return a remuneration to the holdersof the stock. We would earnestly advise the holders of railroad stocks and bonds not to he frightened by the panic-makers Into heavy sacrifices of their property by sales at current prices. They certainly cannot fall much lower, and as fhero ia a fair promise of the intro duction of ft littlo good business sense Into the future management of railroads, it may reasonably bo ex pected that tbelr Stocks will appreciate in price The following is a statement of tho earnings of the New York Central Railroad for the month of July, 1857, compared with its earnings for the corresponding month of tho preceding year: Decrease.. .. 58,985 52 Coraparatiye statement of earnings for freight for. warded Eastward from Buffalo and Suspension Bridge in July, 3856 and 1857 1856, 1857 Decrease 567»141 90 The following are the receipts of the Morris Canal Compear for the past week end season, m compered with the receipts to corresponding time lest year : Total to August 9, 18 M 5® Week ending.
