fc THE EVENING FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 22. bum Poutics in NawaeTha following letter of our London corrMpoodmt was received too lata for publication. It will found to be, ill his tcrosr totters hava been, interestirjg Conetyondenee tj the Evening April 8th, 1842. Tba ansmcial project of Sir Robert Peel, wbea firat brought forward in the Houee of Commons, ww rseoived with quite a bozz of approbation, by both aupportara and opponeota and since that period, it has been received with a roar of disapprobation ay the country. The reasons for this apparent inconsistency, do not lie Terr deep.

Sir Rob-art took the Moose of Commons by surprise. His plan was bold and striking, and the manner in which it was placed before the anxious members, was admirable. Dealing with a dry. complex, and amally moat unattractive subject, the minister so Bandied bis materials as to make finance attractive to even country gentlemen. The speech was i-doed one of Peel's most successful efforts, and formed a marked contrast, both in matter and manner to sev.

oral of his other oratorical dUplays this session, which have been marked by barrenness ef thought aaj snappishneee of manner. No sooner, however, had the admiration for the way in which the scheme had been brought forward, died away, than the scheme itself began to be canvassed in detail, mod it may safely be affirmed that it ia looked upon with disapprobation by full two-thirds of the community. Various classes of interests are aflect-d by the proposed alteration in the tariff the agriculturists, discontented by the previous innovations on their beloved eorn-laws, are' still farther irritated by the reduction of the duty on foreign cattle, whilst the mercantile and trading interest, such large corporations as the Bank of England inclusivs, are particularly discontented with the proposed income tax. The plan of direct taxation, in place of burdening our commerce and articles of general consumption with heavy duties, ia, in the abstract, fair and ope but the complaint against Sir Robert's scheme, is, that he has not drawn the proper distinction between income derived from fixed capital, which cannot be affected by any of the ordinary acci-dents of life, and income derived from personal exertion, whether professional or commercial. It in contended, and fairly enough, that men who realize a certain income by an incessant struggle in business, but who, should they die, carry, in common parlance, "the key of the cupboard" along with them, and leave their family destitute, ought not to be taXed at the same rate as a man who has property in land or otherwise, and which, ia case of bis decease, will be a provision for his children.

The other general objection to the scheme, on the part of the trading and shop-keeping community, is, that it will be odiously inquisitorial, and that the secrets of each man's business will be exposed, to his constant annoyance, and occasional ruin. The strong feeling existing on these two points, has caused the postponement of the further consideration of the measure until after Easter, when it ia hoped by many, that the ministers will either give way or be defeated. I do not think that there is much chance of the one occurrence or the other. Sir Robert has expressly declared that he will stand by his measures, and he threatenthe land owners that if they do not stand by it and him, that will resign, and hand them over to the whigs This frightens the country gentlemen. They have no great affection for Sir Robert, but still, when it comes to a choice between him and Lord John Russell, snd his fixed duty on com, they will gulp down the measures of the -resent minister, however much against their stomach.

Had the remotest idea existed that a tax upon income would form a part of Sir Robert Peel's plans, there can be little doubt but the wbigs would now bay been in office. As it is, however, gentlemen of cynical dispositions amuse themselves mightily at the way in which John Bull has contrived to lake himself in. By his spirited exertions at the last election, he has contrived to saddle himself into a tax of three per cent, upon his income! John now looks foolish, and says that was not what he intended. The new tariff is a formidable document as to dimensions, and alone would fill a newspaper. It will doubtless prove of much interest to your commercial men.

The alterations respecting salted provisions will, it is thought, most affect the United States. It is considersd that, taking into account the low-ess ef provisions in the Western States, a good deal of salted pork and beef will come in under the new duties, which will amount to only about 8s. (English) per'ewt, or 7 teents per lb. If so, it will be a mutual benefit to both countries. A market will be opened for the products of the fertile west, and the laboring population of England will be provided with wholesome food at cheaper rate.

Sir Robert, in his speech, hinted that he would have carried his commercial for ma further, but that he has reserved several articles in order that he may tor fain for concessions with foreign coun tries. For this be can scarcely be blamed. He is willing to make still further reduction of duties. provided he can secure a quid pro quo from other countries in return. He has no desire to be quixotically generous, but he is ready and anxious to drive a trade in free trade.

His success with France, where notions the most "narrow and contracted prevail on the subject of freedom of inter-course, is extremely problematical, but it is to be hoped that the United States will meet him in a better spirit It ia to be hoped that a war of tariffs is at aa end for ever, and that the two foremost nations of the world will be prepared to set a good example, by carrying into effect a more liberal and beneficial system of commercial The world is certainly getting wiser. Think of a tory minister, half a century ago, venturing to bring forward a proposal for such a reform in the tariff as hat been proposed by Sir Robert Peel. And yet, it is to be hoped, that it is only a $tep in the right direction. SviciBa of Raul Mtnrrrca -On vthe 91st If arch, this nobleman committed suicide, by shooting himself through the head. He was the eldest son of William the IVth and Mrs.

His lordship was an excellent Oriental scholar, and possessed an intimate acquaintance with the Sanscrit and other eastern languages. Ill health was supposed to have affected his intellect, i and he has been observed to be particularly de- pressed since the late disastrous intelligence from India. He married a daughter of the Earl of Eg-remont, and has left four sons and two daughters.

A most horrid tradgedy has lately been enacted ia the city of London. A man named Lucas, cut the throats of his three children, two fine boys and a girl of from 10 to 4 years of axe, and then cut his own. He had come down stairs, shaved himself, and told his wire that he was going to take the' children a walk before they went to church. 1 He went up stairs to dress them, but remaining a long time, a young girl, a niece, went op to see what was the matter, and found the four lifeless bodies. He was a steady, sober man, but being out of employment, he had allowed pecuniary difficulties to prey upon his mlndintil his reason became affect-ad, and tha above fearful catastrophe was the consequents.

Seventeen or eighteen persons were killed, a number ef others were severely wounded, and the steamboat was blows to pieces.

In a population of nearly two millions, there are plenty of people who will believe any story, and accordingly numbers were credulous enough to i'leave the metropolis and repair to the neighboring towns before the day. Amongst the lower Irish, the alarm spread to an amazing extent, and numbers quitted the metropolis. On the morning of the 16th, the Primrose Hill, the heights of Hempstead and Highgate, tc, were covered with spectators in order to see the disappearance of Babylon the second. The earthquake, however, turned out no go," doubtless greatly to the disappointment of all lovers of sight-seeing, and believers in se cond-sight. i The Courier du JVord states that the number of bodies thrown upon the French coast, between Boulogne and Dunkirk alone, in consequence of a dreadful storm on the 10th March, amounts to one hundred and fifty!

O. P. Q. P. S.

A. stirring time is expected on the reassembling of Parliament after Easter. What with the income tax, the tariff, the unsettled disputes with the United States, and the wars in Aflghanis-tan and China, it is hoped we will be enabled to defy the foul fiend ennui for several months. Aftghanist a A correspondent sends us the following history of this country, which excites considerable interest at this time 'The scene of these late transactions is a country Kuiuc iiucrcsiin nisiorv, anatne following particulars may not be fresh in the recollection of your readers, or entirely uninteresting to them. All the invaders of Hindostan, from the date of the laoiea expeditions of Bacchus and Sesostris, down to the period of European dominion there, have penetrated to the Indus, through the passes of the mountainous region lying between that river and the bounds of the old Persian Empire.

This region, now called Afghanistan, has been, from time immemorial, peopled by a number of hardy, warlike tribes of the Circassian race, whose language is evidently derived from thesame roots as the Sanscrit and Zend. Alexander the Great, and after him Seleucus, in their march to InJia, advanced by the route of the river Cabool, passing Jellelabad. where Sir Robert SaWs detachment is now cooped up, and crossed the Indus at Attock, the present great highway between Affirhanistan and the Pim. jasib. The former hero is said to have built Can-dahar, which long existed as a Greek colony, and uuw, who unuzni, ranics alter canal, in the short list of Aflirhan towns.

He was the first Moslem conqueror who in vaded India. He made twelve expeditions over the Indus, and after rifling the Virgin Wealth of the i utuu'wuuo, niiu rcuuciiiRiuc rajas 10 SQDmission, this favorite of Eastern romance returned to Ghuz-ni, with Iiia accumulated treasures. His son, Mas-ioud, was stripped of Afghanistan by the Seljuk Turks, against whom he fell in battle, A. D. 1038.

One hundred and twenty years afterwards, under Maliemet of Ghore, the Aftghans regained their power in these provinces but in 1237, the irruption of the Satars of Zingis, again drove them beyond the Indus, and their Sultan Gellaleddin, was chased into Kurdistan, where he lost his life. A band of his followers entered the service of the Saljuk Turks of Asia Minor, and grandson of one of its leaders was Othman, the founder of the present Turkish dynasty. The Afighan rulers of Dslhi still retained their! authority over the Mahometan Rajas of Northern Hiadoatan, and their power even survived the short but terrible invasion of Tamerlane, whose myriads oi norsemen in 13'JB, spread devastation from the whlc crossed at the Attock, to the 1306, made himself master of Cabool. and in 1526. took Delhi, subverted the old Afighan dynasty, and established the Empire of the Great Moguls.

His successor, the great Emperor Akbar, wielded his mighty power in prosperity but after his death, in low, tne Uzbek Tartars took possession of Cabool and the Persians of Candahar, and in 1707, at the death of Arungzebe, the Empire rapidly declined. The Ghilzie tribe of Afghans now rose to great power. In 1720, they took Ispahan, and for twenty years ruled from the Indus to the Tigris. About the same time, the Mahrattas extended their Eower in the south the Sikhs overrun Lahore and telhi; the Rajpoots asserted their independence, and the Rohilla Afghans wrested the northern provinces from the feeble Moguls. In 1739, Nadir Shah expelled the Ghilzies from Persia, traversed Afghanistan, and added another to the long list of robber conquerors, or invaders ol Hindostan.

In 1747, Ahmeed Shah, an Affghan, revolted from this authority, and founded at Cabool the present dynasty. On the death of Zemain Shah, about 1S00, the brothers Mahomet and Soojah, con-tasted the throne, and repeatedly expelled one another from the country. Soojah was finally compelled to take refuge in India, and to throw himself into the hands of the British authorities there. In 1S19, Runjut Singh, the old Lion of the Pun-jaub," ruler of theSikbs, and the robber ally of the Honorable East India Company, took advantage of the dissentjons in Afghanistan, and added Pesha-mer, the Eastern Key to that kingdom, to his own dominion of Lahore. In 1S20, Mahomet was dethroned, and fled to Herot.

About this time, the apprehensions of Eoeland for the safefv of her In dian empire became excited, by the successes of noma in uie neignoornooa ot Afghanistan.

WAsmveioir, Wedaesday evening, The House of Representatives met to day at 1 1 o'clock, and proceeded to pass on the unfinished items of tbeeiviland diplomatic appropriation bill, which were severally disposed of with very little modification or amendment It had been understood that the contingent expenses would have been reported in a separate bill, and discussed in Committee of the Whole, but the House proceeded to consider tbem, and they were all passed.

The House having passed upon the several items of the civil and diplomatic appropriation bill.it was ordered to be eDgroMed to a third reading. Several private bills were reported and disposed of, and the House resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole on the State ot the Union, Mr. Allen of Maine, in the Chair. The Apportionment bill was taken up, and the amendment of Mr. Everett to limit it to 70,361, was considered.

Other amendments were offered, proposing a less number, some 58,000, and others 55,000, but before any progress was made, the Committee rose and reported to the House. Various motions were made to adjourn, or to go into Committee of the Whole, to take up the Army Appropriation Bill. The House resolved itself again into Committee of the Whole, and made an unsuccessful effort, after an appeal from Mr. Fillmore to take up the Army BDL. Nothing, however, was done, either with the Apportionment or Army, as the House shortly after adjourned.

This was a busy day in the Skhatb, but the business was generally of a private nature. Petitions and memorials were presented by several Senators. Mr. Tappan presented one from Morgan, Perry county, Ohio, remonstrating against the annexation of Texas to the Union, and giving as a reason, that it would involve us in a war with Mexico, and tend to perpetuate slavery in the United States. Mr.

Buchanan presented more than fifty memorials from Philadelphia, praying for the enactment of such a tariff as will protect American industry. Mr. Wright presented the joint resolutions of the Legislature of the State of New York, instructing their Senators and requesting their Representatives to vote ia favor of the repeal of the Distribution BilL Not a single whig will regard the instructions they are not, in their estimation, bound to act according to the will of their constituents, but as it seemeth good in their own eyes." Messrs. Xinn and Huntington reported some private bills, and Mr. Benton reported a bill for the relief of the heirs of General William Eaton.

Mr. Evans offered a resolution authorizing the completion of the Treasury building according to the plan which was originally designed. Mr. Allen railed up his resolution inquiring of the President what correspondence has passed between the President of the United States and the Executive of Rhode Island, or any one acting under its authority. At the request of a Rhode Island Senator it was passed over till to-morrow, when it will again be called up.

Mr. Merrick called up a bill to incorporate an Asylum and Manual Labor -School in the District of Columbia, and advocated its passage on account of the usefulness of the object, and the beneficent design of some resident of this District to make a donation for its support. Mr. Allen opposed the bill, as he was an enemy to all corporations the land is covered with them, and they will ultimately destroy our institu tions if we do not destroy them. He was also adverse to putting children under the power of a corporation, to be kept as slaves for twenty-one years, whether they will or not.

Provision was made by law for the support of the poor, and he would not.put this power in the hands of sny corporation, whatever might be their benevolence or their pretensions. He moved to strike out the fifth section of the bill, giving power to retain childien till tbey are twenty-one years of age, Messrs. Merrick and King advocated the passage of the bill, and the fifth section. There is no doubt but the bill will be passed ultimately, for the petitioners are men that toiU carry thiir points. The weather has continued stormy for the last four days and nights.

The mhiw pa pers, one after another, are eagerly copying; the communication which makes for their side, while they suppress the arguments used to show that in these wards the whig members are not elected, or not entitled to their seats. It is idle, we suppose, to look for fairness in any whig journal. There is something in the principles of the party, or the practices of its leaders, which seems inevitably to corrupt those who attach themselves to it with much zeal.

ThefVenezolano inveighs strongly against this ex ception, and contends that the people of Venezu ela have nothing to do with offences committed against the government of New Grenada. An immense and inexhaustible lake of Asphal turn has been discovered in Pedernales, in the neighborhood of a new parish founded in the north ern part of the Deita of the river Oronoco.

Smith's Patkst Scaxw Profxixxr There have been some attempts, none of them succesful until now, to employ the screw instead of the paddle, in urging steam vessels through the water. In Mr. F.

P. Smith has contrived a meth od which has been tried in the Archimedes, a steam vessel which has made a voyage around the island of Great Britain, in which her speed and other qualities attributable to the engine, were put to the test. The Archimedes has also had trials of speed with other steamers, in which she was victorious, and finally was sent from Plymouth on a trip to Oporto, reaching the place in sixty nine hours, which is said to be the quickest steam communica tion ever made between the two ports. The Archimedes is furnished with a propeller of four feet in length, consisting of two half turns of a screw, with a diameter of five feet nine inches. This is inserted in the keel of the vessel, at a little distance in front of the rudder.

With this simnle and inexpensive cnotrivancethe Archimedes accor ding to the statements contained in a pamphlet before us, drawn up by Captain Edward Chappell, of the Royal Navy, glides through the water with a rapid and steady motion, answering the helm with great readiness, backing with perfect facility, and turning in a short space. Rear Admiral Lord Dun-donald, after witnessing some of the trials made with the screw propeller, said, "that in three years it would be a matter of wonder hew such a barba rous contrivance as wheels was ever adopted." A model of Smith's screw propeller, sometimes called the Archimides screw propeller, is to be seen at No. 54 Pine street. Owkn ox Bankruptcy. J.

Important Experiment. In the spring of 1837, 1 wrote to Judge Buel, asking him to join me in experiments on the peach tree with saltpetre, and proposed to give the result through the medium of the Cultivator to the public. I gave as my reason for that request, that, as far as my observations extended, I had always observed that on soils containing nitre and muriate of soda, the peach tree lives luxuriantly to an advanced age, while upon soils immediately adjoining, immature decay takes place, and the tree seldom attains the age of seven or eight years. As instances in vindication of this occur so frequently, I have been astonished to see them passed over without notice, and now advert to some of them to establish the truth of this position. Peach trees growing in the site where once stood a dwelling, generally live to an old age the soil of which, by analysis, will give a proportion of nitre.

The same thine occurs in many districts of the West and Southwest. Upon one farm the occupant has no difficulty in having good peaches, while bis neighbor finds it a laborious task to Drolonir th iu- i rt cue uw a tew years; and on well cultivated farms near the BAkkul Bcouuaru, i nie oeen iniormed, tbey have but little difficulty inerowinpthm and other instances for my guidance, I commenced Hcriuieuis wiui sair ana saltpetre, in the year 1S36, upon an orchard six years old clover was sowed upon it that spring, and it remained in grass till last fall, when it was ploughed and sown in wheat, and clover this spring. The trees in 36 were full of worms some of the trees were dead, others apparently dying, and but very few put on the annea ranee of health Cr.nk uwvii ed condition that some of my friends advised me ui one-nan tnose mat vet showed life, saying that such was the practice of the peach-growers. I thought it would be a bad practice for a physician to destroy one or more of a family to prevent disease from spreading, I commenced operation on the balance, with equal quantities of salt and saltpetre combined, applying about half a pound upon the surface and in contact with the trunk of the tree; then sowed broadcast over part of the orchard, at the rate ot about two bushels per acre. The result of this application, to the surprise or my friends, was the appearance of perfect health, with new and vigorous shoots, the trees full of truit, which matured with increased size and improved flavor.

Towards the last of March, and again May and September, 1S37, 1 appiied the same ingredients, in different proportions, without observing much difference in the effect, though I have since thought that where I applied the ialt-petre alone, and where the largest portion of the mixture was nitre, the effect was best; but in consequence of the price of saltpetre, I have endeavored to ascertain the smallest quantity that should be used, and I would not advise less than one-sigh tb, hougt I should or roWMy ireea Op) were free from worms, all do- mg well, and I have found no further use for the axe in the orchard. iB the year 1838,1 applied tba mixture to a part of my orchard in March the other part received the application in June and Septemoer. Upon that part done in March I had abundance of fruit, while those done in the sixth and eighth months were comparatively destitute of fruit, it having been killed by a late frost It occurred to me that I was indebted to the salt, fc-for the abundance of the tnht on the trees done a March, by its retarding vegetation; and from an experiment made in '3f it appeared to ba th case, though I have never considered it of sum- 1 cient importance to repeat it, for the purpose of tesung it iurtner. In regard to the best time to make this applica tion, I would say about the first of April, and to inoee trees having worms in tnem again in June or September, as the appearance of me worm may-indicate its necessity using about two-thirds of the usual quantity for the June or September dress-ing, and to be used only in contact with the trunk of the tree. I have not discovered any great benefit from sowing it broad-cast over the orchard every year.

I prefer to do this every second or third year. If the lre i. iniured very much by the worm, to wasn the bark of the trunk witn a soiuuon oi mixture and water mieht be of service, being care iui not to auDlv too much tnis snouio nor prevent its application in a Dowdered state. To my tre planted in the fall and strinit. I apply as soon as done planting in the spring, about one ounce upon iu auriace, in contact wun me irun iu uie tree, and repeat this quantity again early in June or Sep- lemoer.

i ne peach-worm at tnese two last periods. oeing in meir infancy, are destroyed. in August, after one application ot mis mixture to my youne trees in 1 have taken seve ral worms from off the outer bark of a tree bedded in gum, they having punctured it in a number of piaces, out aid not penetrate to do any injury to the inner bark, while the next tree left without me above mixture was nearlv destroyed. th inner bark being eaten for more than two-thirds around me tree, it might be supposed that the salt and saltpetre would produce instantaneous death, but this is not the case. I have kept them half covered in the solution of salt and water, and saltpetre and water Jand in these two articles combined, for several nours without causing death.

They will avoid its approach, and will not remain in it unless compelled by necessity. In compliance with the promise heretofore made, I have endeavored to give, in a brief manner, my practice on the peach tree for five years; from which I have no reason to make a change, but many inducements for a continuance of the prac- uce. LYTTLETON PHYSICK. Cecil County, July 6, 1841. BOARD OF ALDBRJfKff.

The followine Messare waa received fmm his Honor the Mayor, setting forth his reasons for not Pfjiuviug uie resolutions recommending a suspension of the work on the high bridge over Harlem river, which was directed to he pnf AroH An the minutes and published in the papers employed uj uie corporation. SAMUEL J. WILLIS, Clerk. lllrni'l Ctwww AnrilAth 14I To the Board of Aldermen of the city of GCNTLft Matter avatar tit sntmm VH orable body the two following resolutions, which originated in your Board, with my reasons for not approvirg of them, viz Resolved, That it is inexpedient to proceed further at present with the work upon the pier and bridge over the Harlem river bevond what may be necessary to bring the water temporarily across said river. Resolved, That the Comptroller, the Counsel to the Corporation, and the Street Commissioner, be deputed to confer with the Water Commissioners, and to negotiate with the Contractors, subject to the ratification of the Common Council, for a settlement of all damages which may be claimed to be by them sustained from the temporary or final suspension of the contract for the construction of said bridge, and that they report to the Common Council, as soon as possible, the result of their labors.

I will first present my objections to the first resolution. By reference to the Act entitled, "An Act to provide for supplying the city of New York with pure and wholesome water," passed May 2d, 1834, it will be seen that the whole construction of the work is given to the Water Commissioners, subject in certain instances to the approval of the Common Council. The Act entitled," An act prescribing the manner in which the Croton Aqueduct shall pass the Harlem River," passed May 3d. 1839, as follows The Water Commissioners of the city of New York shall construct an aqueduct over the Harlem river with arches and piers; the arches in the channel of said river shall be at least eighty feet span, and not less than one hundred feet from the usual high water mark of the river, to the under side of the arches at the crown, or they may carry the water across said river by a tunnel under the channel of the river, the top of which tnnnel shall not be above the present bed of said channel. Under this statute the Water Commissioners made the contract to erect the high aqueduct across the Harlem river which these resolutions seek to suspend.

The Sth and 0th sections nf thm art ntittut An Act to amend an Act to provide for supplying the citv of New York with nnre and whnlmtm. ji ter," passed May 26th, 1S41, are as follows 6 8. ft shall he the rfnlv nf th IV.ro. sioners of the city of New York to finish and com plete i ne aqueauct ior supplying the said city with water down to and including the distributing reservoir at Murray's Hill, acrnrflintr tn th nUn 1r.r.t1 by the said Commissioners and ratified by the Com- i i uiuu vuuncii oi me saia ciiy, witn 6ucn immaterial alterations as may be necessary and as may be igreea upon oy me saia water commissioners and 1.. th i iu sjUlkUVU 1 1 1 1 6 9.

The said Commissioners, hv nA v. consent of the said Common Council, shall hare full power and authority to change the place of Crossing the Harlem River with arches and piers. i i biiu iiniMu mercui 10 carry me water across the said river by means of inverted syphons of iron DiDes. until otherwise dirwtid hv th I 7 so as not unnecessarily to interrupt the navigation of said river. And the said Commissioners are further authorized, by and with the consent of the said wjminon ixmncu, io airer me plan ot constructing me rcaerroir ai or near IO lorKVIlie.

and IO Com-Olete SO much of such rmrrrniru ahill h. v. ucctim. sufficient for the present purposes of such aque- uuc. inoe siaiuies expressly preserve the navigable quality of the Harlem River, and secure to the citizens living above the place where the aque- fill.

1- tn A.nf. k. 1 tv liuh, ujv iiui biiu power io navigate said river. All these statutes establish that the Water Commissioners are the power authorized to make and alter plans, subject, however, to the approval of the Common Council. The Corns ission.

ers must originate any alteration, and if the Common Council concur, the alteration will be legal, provided it does not violate the letter or spirit of the statute. These laws, the plan, and the contract under them, compel the erection of a high aqueduct over the Harlem river, and any alteration of this plan, to be legal, must be recommended by the Water Commissioners, concurred in by the Common Council, snd must not impair the navigation of the river. These laws, by implication, give the right to interrupt the navigation of the Harlem river in such manner and for such period as the necessary work, properly to build the aqueduct may cause, but in no other way and for no longer time. The act authorising the building of the aqueduct in the manner prescribed, gives no legal right to construct a temporary dam for the purpose of carrying the water across, during the erection of the permanent work. lithe embankment over which the temporary pipes are to be laid is necessary to enable the proper construction of the aqueduc' there certainly can be no equitable objection to the use of such embankment to bring the water across during the erection of the permanent work.

Were it not that the dam which has been made for the legal purpose of sinking and erecting the piers, can be used to bring the water to the city the pecuniary and the other interests of the city, would prompt a speedy erection of the high aqueduct, and the interruption of the navigation would be for the shortest possible period, with the least detriment to the rights of others, and this would be in strict conformity to the law. This temporary dam and pipes, made for the accommodation of the ritv Ka vi, a ul IV, VWI1IUI UQ used as a reason why the building of the aqueduct uiKiwunuea, suspended, or protracted or why the obstruction of the navigation should be continued beyond the period necessary to finish the permanent work. The fact that the temporary dam will answer the purpose of the city is no reason why the law which is intended to pro tect the rights and interests of others should not be enforced. For the reason that the law of the state and the contract entered intnnniW it niius mo erection of a high aqueduct, and of necessity, that it should nil lit in oa ahApt I a itru is consistent with tne proper construction nf th nmri- a "via, sw oa I1UI UQ- necessarily to interrupt the navigation of the river; and as the resolution to suspend the work is a XI ,7 law, i am constrained to Wltnnold mv annmval fmm it ri made to the first resolution are applicable to the me aoiunu resolution is cmy auxiliary to the first. Even if we had the legal power to stop the work, I do not believe their would be a saving of money, as stated in the report of the The only possible saving to the city, work should hereafter be continued, would i hetween the premium which we should have to pay for monies borrowed now, and leser premium we might hereafter obtain it ri money become more plenty.

The sum of $175,000 of interest mentioned by the committee, which would be saved if the work was now suspended, would have to be expended at any time when th aqueduct should be built, as it is the amount of interest that would accrue on monies expended open the aqueduct while erecting and before it could be used, which would be the same hereafter as now.

April Money Market. Faints, April si. We are glad to learn, from conversations with several eminent merchants of the city, that the prospects of trad witl'in th last few days have brightened. On gentle: informs us, that he haa received, not only more than his usual vmount of orders from country customers, but that some of his old outstanding debts have been discharged. He is in tiie iron trade, and is informed by on of his cus tomers that he (th customer) would not wish to do a better busisessthanha has done for th last two weeks.

Another person, in the domestic jobbing business, states that he is as busy as be, from morning to night We are told by others, that money is growing mora easy, and that they look forward to the transactions of Msy umihis wuu iuumui wuuuence, inere has seen a firmer feeling within the last few days, and a much better spirit prevails in tha circles of commerce. A disposition to do wall, is all that is necessary to a fair and liberal trade. Th canals opened day before yesterday, and from the first indications, it is hoped that a revival business will speedily take place. The National Intelligencer asys, that offers have been made to the government, for a portion of the United Stat. Loan, on the most favorable terms.

This is certainly a sign that aU confidence in the future and respon sibility of the nation haa not been withdrawn. Another fact, to which wish to call attention at this time, is, that some oi the lsrgest houses in this city, hsve received by the last arrivals orders from their foreign cor. respondents to iu vest in the stocks of this country, mi rmta kifhrrlkau dually arrr.it Aere. It would seem, therefore that there is more confidence in our stocks abroad, than exists st home. The reason of this is evident.

There are here, a number of newspapers, and writers for public jour-nail, who seem to take pleasure in decrying the state snd prospects cf business. They mske the depression worse than it is, by exaggerating its depth and extent Now.il is bad enough, that the mercantile community should suf-fer, without increasing that tfering, by false and distressing speculations on th future aspects of trade.
