MONEY MARKET.

MONDAY, DEC. 23.—Notwithstanding the un-
favourable advices received from Europe by the last
steamer. the Stock Market to-day was quite firm, and
prices had an upward tendency. Erie Railroad,
Canton Co., Farmers' Trust, Pennsylvania Fives,
Indiana U. S. Bank and Reading, c!osed firm at
Saturday's prices. Norwich and Worcester fell off
per cent. ; Stonington, i ; Morris Canal, 4 ; while
Mohawk advanced 2 per cent.; Long Island, 1j ;
Ohio Sixes, 1; Illinois, 11. The transactions were
not very large, but we cannot conceive how it is pos-
sible the market can be sustained. The accounts from
the other side, in relation to the Cotton Markets, were
of so unfavourable a nature as to forbid the slightest
hope that those in anticipation will be more satisfac-
tory. The immense supplies that have been produced
in all parts of the world, and the moderate increase in
the consumption, from year to year, must leave a sur-
plus at the close of the season larger than ever before
known. It is the knowledge of this that will influ-
ence prices all through the season. 'We do not yet
know the extent of the new crop in this country. It
may possibly reach three millions of bales.

The Acadia arrived at Boston on Saturday, the
21st, after a passage of seventeen days.
The Caledonia, from Boston for Liverpool, arrived
at Halifax on the 18th.
THE SPECIAL MESSAGE .-4t is believed that the
opinion of the President elect is now perfectly coin-
cident with that of Mr. Tyler with respect to his
measure for annexation, and if such be the case, there
is nothing to prevent all the members of that party
who supported Mr.Polles election from going at once
into the work and carrying out to completion the
issue decided by the people at the polls.
BLACK TONGUE.—This dereadful disease is raging
with fearful violence in Gibson county, la. A great
number of deaths have occurred, and some cases have
proved fatal in four or five days from the first attack.
THEATRICAL GUNS GOING OFF.—We understand
that Hackett and also Forrest sail for England. They
go to France and England, as the representatives of
the American drama, Mr. Hackett occupying the dis-
tinguished position of the sole representative of the
comic drama, and Mr. Forrest that of the legitimate
drama. They have a mission to fulfil in England,
but in the present condition of the Texas question, it
is doubtful whether they will succeed. However, it
will he all made up in Paris, Air. Calhoun having
succeeded in securing the approbation of our foreign
policy by Guizot and Louis Philippe. Both these
dramatic gentlemen will, no doubt, create a great
sensation in Europe.
MORE OF THE ANTI-RENT OUTRAGES.—It is with
extreme pain that we find ourselves compelled to re-
cord another bloody outrage by an " Anti-Rent"
Party in Rensselaer county. The facts of the case
(as have been partly related in the Herald), as nearly
as we can ascertain are these :—Richard Knowlton,
of Sand Lake, Rensselaer ccunty, purchased a piece
of woodland from 'William Van Rensselaer, and had
employed a man by the name of Elijah Smith to haul
a quantity of the wood. While engaged in loading
his team on Thursday last, Smith was accosted by a
party of " some thirty in number, who
threatened to take his life if he should venture to re-
move the wood. Smith, disregarding these threats,
continued his work, and when his load was ready
,jumped upon the waggon and started his horses. He
was immediately fired at by one or more of the
Indians, and shot dead.
OUTRAGES NEAR ALBANT.—We have received ac-
counts of more disgraceful outrages by the Indians of
the Rent and Anti-Rent sections. On Tuesday, a
meeting of the Anti-Renters took place in Smoky
Hollow, in the town of Claverick, on the Livingston
Track. About three hundred Indians were present;
armed with pistols, &c. This assemblage gathered
together in consequence of the appearance of the sheriff
to serve a writ. They threatened- to shoot him if he
did not give up his 'papers. The citizens in ' that
vicinity, who were opposed to the lawless movements
of the Indians, hearing of the difficulty, met in a body;
numbering at least five hundred. One of them re-
monstrated with the Anti-Renters against their course,
when one of the latter drew a pistol, and instantly
shot the citizen. The unfortunate man's name was
Rivenburg. .
ANOTHER VETO.—We have some reason for believ-
ing that Captain Tyler will soon be under the neces-
sity of clapping another veto upon a law of Congress
of some importance, which is now in the process of
being matured, and passing both Houses. We allude
to, the Independent Treasury Bill, which has just
passed the House of Representatives by 'a large ma-
jority, and which will be introduced into the Senate
this week, probably to pass there also. It is well known
that Mr. Tyler and his Administration are in favour of
an Exchequer system, and we have good reason for be-
lieving that Mr. Polk is also in favour of a similar scheme.
Acting, therefore, under the impression that the demo-
cracy in the House have merely passed this law thus
suddenly for the heroic purpose of heading Mr. Polk,
and stopping the present Administration, we have some
reason for believing that Mr. Tyler will pluck up a
little courage, and veto it as soon as it passes the Se-
nate. Another reason we can give. The passage of this
new law would be equal to another removal of the de-
posites—which now amount to seven or eight millions,
and will, probably, be increased considerably in a few
months—from all the banks, and private indivi-
duals in whose hands they are. By this law these
deposites must he paid in the shape of specie, which
would, of course, produce a prodigious drain upon the
banks, and inevitably lead to a great revulsion in the
money market. It will be seen, therefore, that the
banking interests, in order to save themselves from
the disastrous consequences of the passage of such a
law, will, in all probability, unite in sending a depu-
tation.to Washington,' for the purpose of imploring
Captain Tyler to veto the Bill. We expect, there-
tore, some very remarkable flare-ups amongst parties
in the course of a few days, in consequence of the
passage of this Bill. It must give rise to a great deal
of discussion before it is all over.—Neze Fork Herald.
SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE, COLUMBIA,
DEC. 16.—T0-day, in the Senate, Mr. Pickens intro-
duced resolutions on the subject of the abolition peti-
tions and the repeal of the 25th rule by Congress.
In substance (for they are not yet printed, and I can.
not get a copy), they condemn the action of the
House, and declare that any movement by Congress
,toward the abolition of slavery in the district of
Columbia, will be regarded by this State as a virtual
dissolution of the Union. He sustained them in a
very able speech,. and the Senate unananimously
adopted them. The House has agreed to consider
them tu,tuorraw, itth.—Charleston Courier.
lIAVANNAH, Dec. 6, 1844.—Business here is ex-
tremely dull—no produce being in the•market. The
coming crops will be late this season, and we do not
anticipate any great stir in business before June.
Exchange 'on London is down again to 10i a 11i per
cent, Vessels are arriving in abundance, but can find
no employment,' nor could we recommend any more
coming out before April—those now in harbour
having to pay their tonnage dues and port charges,
will remain here. Freights to Europe are scarce.--
