We had no Mail from the North, last week, from Tuesday to Sunday, owing to the heavy fall of Snow On Sunday, there was a perfect avalanche of News . papers, bringing up our Washington dates to the latest moment As will be seen, however, but little has been done in Congress, both branches having taken another Holiday, on i the coming in of the New Year, THE MARKETS. Our City is assuming so much importance as a place of trade, that it has become necessary, for the informa tion of our readers in the neighboring counties, to pay attention to the state, of the Markets a duty, which we hav hitiorto. neglected. . We give- to-day, the Prices Current at different points, of such articles as enter more immediately into the business transactions of the place, and will have them carefully corrected previous to each fresh publication. -4-c ? I , MR..RAYNER'S SPEECH : We have received a copy of Mr. RTirsa,s Speech, delivered in the House of Representative, on the New Jersey case, and have read it with that pleasure which - we always derive from seeing the character of our State sustained abroad by her talented sons. M.r.R. has done full justice to himself, and has exhibited before the na tion, the same sturdy mdependenbether same manly boldness, the same chivalrous dounn; to principle, which have justly made him a favorite at home. We will publish hi Speech entire, in our nexU rr- The Lincoln Republican," too, denounces Gen. Habmsox as an Abolitionist. We trust thatnot nnlv if 'Rrlitnr lit -all ntlwra. Will rpbuct trip apr. lion, after reading his Vincennea Speech published in oiir last By the way, we perceive that the "Emanci pator," the Abolition organ, denounces the General as an old offender on the Slavery question. This makes assurance doubly sure. , ; BANK OF THE STATE. The General Meeting of the Stockholders of this Bank was held yesterday.' Parker Rind was ap pointed Chairman. It haying been ascertained that a majority of the Stockholders were present, personally or;by proxy, the President pro tern. Geo. W. Moroe 1 tii, hud before the meeting a detailed statement of the j affairs of the Bank, showing its means, liabilities, &c. A Resolution was unanimously adopted, approving ! the manner in which the aflairs of the Bank have been '(managed, the past year.- j The following Directors were elected by ballot, for I the ensuing year, viz: Duncan Cameron, George W. Monlecai, Wm. Boylan, JohnH. Bryan, Alfred Jones, Charles Manly and William Peace. The Directors, on the part of the State, are E. B. Freeman, N. B. Hughes, and the Public Treasurer, ex officio. At a meeting of the Directors, subsequently held, r "Jcas Ciaojr was unanimously re-elected Presi ' dent " . . -1 GEN. HARRISON'S PROSPECTS, j We republish in this paper, from the " NewTork Express," an article relative to the political prospects fGen. Hakrisox The calculations therein made fiie doubtless correct and well-founded, and such we now, to be the opinion among the Whigs at Wash ington. The more we consider the matter, the more settled is pur conviction, that,, if the Whigs of the t'nion go into the fight, determined to conquer,. they can carry HARRISON and TYLER easily. But if they are indifferent and inactive ; if they manifest a want of zeal or confidence in the success of their own cause, a re-action, adverse to their interests, must take place. One fact should stare every Whig; in the face, and jierve his arm in the cause of our suffering coun try- It is this: We must support either Hakrisox or V as Bcaxy. There is nQ neutral ground whichTcan be occupied with safety. Those who do not support Harrison, as a "matter of coarse, strengthen Van Buren; and to reflect him, sacrifices at one fell swoop all that the Whigs have been contending for, for years. Whilst then, the Administration party are organizing their forces every where, in opposition to the Hero of Tippe canoe, the Whigs should present an undivided front in han how, that "United we stand divided, we falL" We are often charged by our friends with being of too-sanguine a. temperament. Perhaps this u the case; and we may entitle ourself to fresh remark, by -expressing the opinion, as we do, that Gen. Harrison's Electoral vote will not fall far short of two huxdred. ti s now confidently believed that Rives will be re elected to the U. S. Senate from Virginia, by the united exertions of the Whigs and Conservatives. If this should be th case, the Electoral vote of that State may be set down as certain for Harrison and Tjrler. The four great States, then, of New York, Pennsylvania, - Virginia and Ohio, will give the Whig picket 116 . m , ?.l ' 1 . l J ores 10 buirt wiui leaving k omy necessary w ouiaui 32 additional votes in the whole Union; for it requires but 148 votes to elect! And "to obtain these, what a fund have we to draw upon? All New-England, New jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, Louisiana, Tennessee and North Carolina! Are we too sanguine, then, in our estimate of success? We do not think we are, bu time will show. I EXECUTIVE INFLUENCE In the debate which took place in the Senate of the United States, at the time of the removal off the Depo- sites, we recollect that it was openly avowed by a pro minent supporter of the Administration, as his belief, that if the question of the Removal had been treated as a mistake, and not as a usurpation, there would have been found two-thirds, in both Houses jf Congress, ft who would have disapproved the act; and jf who, conse quently, would have restored the Deposites. We believe this was true; and we moreover believe, that, at this time, there are not only two-ifrirds of Con- gress, but two-thirds of the whole, Nation, who, in? their hearts, condemn and diapprove the Sub Treasury Scheme. And yet, because by saying so they will of fend one man, impair his popularity, and-fruatxate the intentions of the party, many not only f refrain from speaking the truth, but when called upon, vote their approbation of the measure. And thus, to glorify one man, they recklessly prostrate the whole industry and credit of the nation.. Is it not established, beyond doubt, that, even afterie Extra Session, some of the most influential supporters of the Administration were violently opposed to the Sub-Treasury, said so express ed themselves publicly? And, do we Shot, now, see these same individuals, actively engaged, in every pos sible way, in promoting its success? Spch is the over shadowing influence of Executive Power 1 -Are we Freemen, or are we Slaves ? ' ' ! ! i I I NEW JERSEY. ; I The people of Mercer County, in JS ey Jersey, em bracing the old battle-fields of Princeton and Trenton, assembled recently in the Capitol of I the State, and passed a number of Resolutions, expressing their grati fication at the nominations by the Harrisburg Conven tion, and their determination to yield them a zealous support. The following Resolution was also adopted: Resolved, That New Jersey, at this time, is degrad ed and humiliated in the presence of hr sister States and of the world; her authority is scouted; her laws are disregarded; her solemn credentials are ridiculed; her representatives, clothed with her "majesty, are denied au mission to tne congress oi tne country; tne old bat tle State of the Revolution, after all her blood, and all her . scars, and all her fields of glory, is excluded from the Legislature of that Umon for whose establishment she freely bared her bosom to the fiercest storms of the war of independence. ' THE TENNESSEE BANKS. f In the Sennti nf thf. Sitnto nf Tennocuw o T?0crln. tion, which had passed the House of Representatives,! for requiring the Banks of Tennessee to resume Specie payments forthwith, was indefinitely postponed by 13 votes to 10. On this question, five friends of the Ad ministration voted in the affirmative and two WTiig3 in the negative. It is feared that the brig Virginia, which left Portsmouth, N. H. on the 11th of December for New York, with a Company of United States artillery ,kn board, is lost. She had as Passengers, Lieutenants Fowler and Grafton, and about 40 recruits of company D,,of 1st regiment of United States artillery. Sixty persons in all were on board. ' fTj A meeting of the Whig members of the Ken tucky Legislature met on the 18th December, at the Capitol in Frankfort, and adopted Resolutions respond ing to the Harrisburg nomination,' and appointed a Committee of eight, "to prepare Resolutions expressive of their determination to support the nomination of General Harrison, for President, and John Tyler, as Vice President. l i NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER. This did Journal, acknowledged by all parties to be the best Ipaper in the Union, entered upon the New Year in an enlarged form and beautified dress. fjj Of the Standing Committees in the House of Representatives, the Whigs have the majority on twenty-four Committees.

The Packet Ship, Gsonos; Washinbtoit, arrived at New York, brings Liverpool dates to j the 27th of November. The news, (says "jNoah) continues, if any thiaff,1 favorable. Money is easier, as thebe is less call for it ; the manufactures of Cotton and Woollen stuffs feeling now more sensibly th pressure arising frqm the comparative suspension, and, in fact, re-shipment, of the importations to this country, and also from the unavailable character of the remittances of stock, &c, which our, merchants have made for previous purcha- I sea. The Cotton market, nevertheless, is well main tained, and a further advance of a Jd or Jd per lb. re alized. , j .

BRANDRETH'S PILLS. Dr. Brandreth, in a recent communication to one of the New York Papers, says : " Since May, 1835, I have sold 9,000,000 boxes of my Pills. My expenses for the year 1838, including Printing, Advertising, &c. were $100,000." CONGRESS. Wasiiixgtox, Dec. 31.; After the Journal was read yesterday, the Standing Committees were announced. It will appear to all candid and impartial persons, that in forming these Committees, the Speaker has consulted the interests of the Country rather than those of either political party. I give you all the names on the most important Com mittee, and the name of the Chairman only of the rest : On Ways and Means, Messrs. Jones, Va Biddle, Athetton, Lawrence, Rhett, VanderpoeT, Evans, Con nor and Cooper. ; On Commerce, Mr. Curtis, of N. Y., Chairman. Public Lands, Corwin, of Ohio. Claims, Dawson, of Georgia.

Q. Adams. , Private Land Claim, Casey, of Illinois. Invalid Pensions, Sherrod Williams. Patents, Fletcher. Public Expenditures, Briggs. Elections, Campbell, of S. Carolina. Revised and unfinished business, Peck, of N. Y. After the above Committees were announced, Mr. Kempsall, from New York (who had been detained at home by the sickness and death of his wife) appeared and was qualified. ! Mr. Wise then moved to suspend the rules of the House, that he might submit a resolution, providing that on the presenting to the House of any petition, memorial, or other paper referring to the question of Slavery, its reception should be considered Objected to, and that the qucstion,-of reception be laid on the table, without debate. On the question of suspension being put, there were 109 votes in favor of it (not two-thirds) and 77 against it. Mr. Bell then moved for a suspension of the rules, to enable himto move a resolution providing that all papers touching the subject of Slavery, be referred to the Committee on the District of Columbia. Mr. Adams had no objection to papere which had reference to Slavery in the District of Columbia, being referred to the Committee on the District, but thought such as related to Slavery in the Territories, or to the admission of a Slave State into the Union, ought to be referred to select Committees appointed by the Speaker. Mr. Bell withdrew his motion for the present Mr. Garland, of La. offered a series of resolutions on die same subject, and asked for a suspension of tile rules. The motion to suspend was negatived. I The House then proceeded to the consideration of I the unfinished business of Friday last, which was Mr, W. Thompson's motion to reconsider the vote for print- ing 20,000 copies of the President's message. Mr. f Thompson,' in a spirited and caustic manner, took a review of the doctrines and recommendations of the message, and expressed his unwillingness to authorise the printing of the extravagant number of the docu- ment proposed ; but on Mr. Duncan's calling for the previous question, Mr. T. withdrew his motion to re consider. Mr. Adams introduced a bill for appropriating the Smithsonian Fund to the establishment of an Institu-, tion for the diffusion of Knowledge, which was refer red to a committee of nine. Mr. Duncan moved that the Speaker swear in Mr. Dickerson and his Vaif Buren colleagues, from New Jersey, and that thevhold their seats until the contest ed election lie decided. The Speaker declared the mo tion not in order. .MkTJX appealed from the decision, but he met withijufcfew supporters. Vfhe Chair laicfbefore the House a number of E xe cutiwe communications, which were referred. Randolph, of N. J. moved a reference of the ev- idence - . in relation to the election in his State, - . .. . to tbA Committee on k lections. On this motion. a debate arose which continued until the House ad journed. H At the opening of the session to-day, some time was taken up in amending the entries on the Journal of yesterday's proceedings. Petitions were then called fbi, when ' Mr. Coles moved for a suspension of the rules, in order that he might offer a resolution, providing that every petition or other paper relating to Uie abolition of Slavery, shall, on presentation, without action there on, be laid on the table without debate. Mr. C. was proceeding to make some remarks, when the Speaker said the question was not debatable. After several ineffectual attempts to speak to the Question, the motion for a suspension was negatived. Mr. Wise then moved a suspension of the rules, that he might again offer the resolution which he introduced yesterday, which denied the reception of abolition pe titions. Mr. C's admitted reception. The one Mr. W. said was a Southern, the other a Nortliern resolu tion. Mr. Granger enquired of the Chair whether the mo- tidfi was in order. He thought the time of the House oughtnot to be consumed in attempts to etifie, in ad vance, petitions which had not yet been presented. The Speaker declared the motion in order. !Mr. Wise persisted in his resolution, and said lie would make a similar motion every morning until he got a distinct vote on his resolution. Mr. Adams believed there was a rule of the House declaring that, when a proposition is once decided on, it is not in order to move again the same proposition. This resolution had already been decided, and the gen tleman might, as he had threatened to do, consume the whole time of the House on this subject, if he was not prevented by the rule to which he had referred. .The question on suspension was at length taken and negatived. Several messages were received from the President and referred. Mr. Chinn, of La. moVed to suspend the rules, that, he might offer a resolution that all papers relating to the abolition of Slavery, be referred, without debate, to a select committee On this motion, Mr. Granger called for the Yeas and Nays, which being taken, were Yeas 112, Nays 66. Not being two-thirds, the motion was negatived. Mr. Sergeant moved to suspend the rules, in order that he might movethat the 20th rule be so altered, that the daily presentation of petitions be allowed for twenty days from this day. This motion for suspension was carried. Mr. Bynum hoped no such resolution would pass, as it wouM put it in the power of gentlemen to bring forr ward their multitude of slavery petitions, to thejgreat annoyance of the House. He hoped every Southern man, and every Northern man with Southern princi ples, would vote ajainst it. He called for the Yeas and Nays on it. Mr. Jenifer iino one would consider him as friendly to Abolition, but there were a great many other petitions besides those which relate to Slavery. It was to ailbxd an opportunity for these to be brought for ward, that he should vote for the resolution. Mr. Stanly said, that though he was a3 much op posed to Abolition petitions as his colleague, he should vote for the proposed resolution ; as he had sundry pe titions for pensions, land claims, ccc, which he desired to havep opportunity of presenting. After a continued, debate of some length, the ques tion for suspending the rule, was carried 113 votes to 36, and the resolution was agreed to without a count. The House then adjourned over to Friday. In the Senate to-day, a number of petitions on vari ous subjects were presented. Mr. Calhoun gave notice that he would ask leave to bring in a bill to cede the Public Laad3 to the new States, on certain conditions ! Mr. Brown, of N. C. introduced a bifl supplementary o the Act establishing branches of the Mint of the U. Stateat ' " fh e Rev.' Mr. Cookman was elected Chiplain to the Senate. A bill to amend the act for the punishment of certain crimes against the U. States was considered and ordered to a third reading ; and a bill to establish a Board of Commissioners to hear and adjudge claims against the U. States,-was made the order for Wednesday next. The Senate then adjourned to Friday. Washington, Jancabt 1, 1840. This being New-Year's day, neither House of Con gress is in session both having adjourned over from yesterday, until to-morrow ; so that I have nothing to add to the Congressional detaUswhich I have already 6ent you. Crowds of the loyalare flocking to the Palace (cold and inclement as is the weather) to pay their homage to the Chief Magistrate, either as the head of their party, wNasthe fountain head of honors arid; emoluments. any go, also, as a mark of respect due to the first Officer of the Republic As a tribute to public, virtue and private integrity, not a fevrmay be seen wending their way to the plain residence of the venerable John Qetnct Adaxs. These comprise a class of citizens, whose respect would do honor to any man, ! The chief topic of the day, now that the outrage per- petrated bn the rights of the State of New-Jersey has . somewhat faded in interest, appears to be the sudden and most surprising movement of John C. Calhoun over to the Administration, and the consequent (though t on the part of most of them, I believe, reluctant) coali tion of his littls band of followers, with the Van Buren party. The compact was confirmed and ratified, on Thursday last, by a formal interview between Calhoun and Van Buren, at the President's House, into which the former has not entered from the time of his quarrel with Jacfcf5 , until on this occasion. Thus are the great heaioT NuWJication and Locofocoism united in a league, b'ffensive and defensive. The motives, ends, termsaihl conditions of this unnatural alliance, arc fully descanted on and detailed in the public prints, with substantial accuracy, I presume, and therefore I will not undertake to repeat them. Byron it was, I think, who said that " truth is stranger than fiction," and truly was it said ; for what would have been more incredible, but a little while ago, than a prediction of such an union as this between these two politicians 1 Considering thetb:ttc r hostility, personal as well as political, which has bee n unrelentingly waged against Van Buren by. Calhoun and Pickens, and by the Nul-lificatioir-party s gefieraly, in Congress, even as lar back as 1832, when Van Euren's nomination.to Eng land was negatived by the casting vote of Calhoun, (then President of the Senate,) the recent movement of tjie latter is the most revolting act of tergiversation to be found in our political annals. I speak of it with pain ; for I cannot forget my former esteem, and bright hopes of Calhoun all, alas ! now quenched in the dark and foul waters of LocOfocoism. You will have seen by the report of his Speech, in what indignant and caustic terms this unnatural conjunction (or rather one of its fruits, the expulsion of the New-Jersey members) was rebuked by one of your young members, Mr. Rat xer. We have had repeated snows here, since the 19th ult., and the extreme rigor of the season b almost in tolerable to a thin Southern skin. The compliments of the season, as the phrase is here, and many happy returns of it, to you. Adieu ! Washington, Jan. 3. A very bitter pcrspmA Uacuaeion took place yester day between Messrs. Stanly and Bynum, of your State, the particulars of which I will give you hereaf ter, if the papers do not. In the course of this matter, Stanly told Bynum, emphatically, that he was a beg gar or life and for what little characrcr he had left. Mr. Keim, of Pennsylvania, announced the death of his colleague, William W. Potter,; and after a handsome eulogy on his character, and apologizing for not making the annunciation sooner, moved the usual resolutions of mourning. The House then adjourned. In the Senate, Mr. Calhoun introduced his bill for ceding the Public Lands to the States in which they are respectively situated, which was referred to the Committee on Public Lands. Mr. Clay (who was absent when Mr. Calhoun made his motion) gave notice of his intention to introduce his copy-right bill, and expressed concern that he had been prevented by indisposition from being present earlier, as he would hav suggested a different refer ence of Mr. Calhoun's bill, as the Committee on Pub lic Lands was composed of four out of five members from the new States. j Mr. Southard having moved a reconsideration of the reference, Mr. Clay said, he thought tb.3 bill in question ought to be referred to a Committee in which tli3 old States should be represented, for however the bill be disguised, it was a donation of upwards of a million of acres of land. Mr. C. would bs glad if some Senator could in form lum whether the Administration be in favor or against this measure, or stands neutral and uncom mitted. This enquiry he should not make, but for certain rumors of recent altered relations between the Senator who introduced the bill and the Head of the Administration". This called up Mr. Calhoun and led to remarks of considerable length between ttiese gentlemen, wlucli were characterized, on the part of both, by great pun- nency and sarcasm. The motion to egatived. 28' votes to 15. In Randolph County, by Alexander Gray Esq. Capt Duncan K.
