She has also very heavy mail and fair cargo.
The news is good, on the principle that no

American stocks are fat, as heretofore, but no

been accepted by Morrison, Cryder & Co. and
some Of them discounted by the Bank Of Eng
land so that the apprehension that they might
come back is dispelled.
In Cotton, there is no material changes there

but il fell off the day before the steamer sailed
and the market became dull--possibly by design,
spectators had purchased freely for several
days, and good deal was taken out of the mar

RELIGIOUS VIEW OF THE INAUGURAL


From The Nep York Observer (I9eligious.)
INAUGURAL ADDRESS Whatever discrepancy of
views in regard to this document may exist among po
tcal partizans, it cannot fail think, to give entire
satisfaction in one particular to large portion Of the
community of all parties. aude to the President
frank, open and unqualified avowal of his belicfin the
Christian religion, and the Indispensable impor aDce
Of sense of religious responsibility TO the prosperity
and happiness OF nation. This is as IL should be,
and is TO be the appreciated, from the fact
that, with single exception this it Is believed is the
only instance, since the organization Of the govern
ment in 1859, that the Chrisfidn religion has been
distinctly recognzed in any address message from
President of the United States Though several of
them have been professors Of religion, yet with the
ception of John Quincy Adams in his special mes
sage on the Panama Congress, they have contenied
themselves with the bare acknowledgment OF SUI
preme Being and his benign providence in terms
consistent with the belief Of Judaism Dcisn, Of
Chris tanity.
The writer is aware that the above statement will
strike many readers perfectly Incredible but if
there any other exceptions TO the fact, he has not
been able after the most careful examination for years
TO find them and if any such exist, he would be hap
py to have them pointed out II will be observed that
the remark does not apply to tho old Continental Con-
gress, to the times of the Confederation. During
our revolutionary struggle, there proclama
tons and other documents which did homage, in the
most undisguised terms, TO the Christian religion.
But from the DAYS Of the Convention that famed the
Constitution, in which, according to DR. Franklins
statement, there but to sustain his motion
for having their daily sessions opened with prayer
new era commenced. From that time TO the present
(more than half century, the Government has pro-
ceeded without recognition from its head Of revealed
religion.
The writer is free to say, that though Gen Harri-
not the OF his choice, yet the above men
toned avowal, undsgused, unprecedented, and, IN
the opinion of many, uneafied for, not only
APPRECIATION but affords pledge Of the honesty OF ms
intentions and the Independence and moral courage o.
the man. II is cheering to have President VINO =

THE ECONOMY OF THE EXTRA SEES
SION OF CONGRESS.

When merchant Of New York finds that he
has large stake in peril at Philadelphia, or Bal
timore, or Cincinnati, or New Orleans, or in
London, does he stop TO inquire about the expen-
ses of getting there to save il A farmer has
sold his cattle to drover, or his wheat to -four
manufacturer, or in any other way disposed
of his produce on the credit Of a note, and hears
that he is in danger Of losing it, does he hesitate
about the expense Of the proper measures Of Sc
curing himself2 A mans affairs are in bad
way, and some expedient is necessary to prevent
greater adversity or to set his business in bet
ter and more prosperous train. Would It be
good policy, or economy, TO let things go to ruin,
without doing any thing to save himself, because
it costs an effort, and perhaps little outlay 2
This principle, will be seen, is applicable 10
thousand cases of ordinary, everyday life, in
which common sense teaches, that sound, true
economy, may moi only warrant, but require some
present expense'for future advantage and there
is not man in the community who is not in the
habit of reducing this principle to practice in
his private affairs.
Every body knows that this whole nation is
baked brought up against stump, by mal-ad-
minstration of the Government; and the only
question is, whether it is better economy to stay
stock-still in this predicament for eighteen
months to come, or be at little cost to get start
ed again in six months This is the simple
and the only question. The loss of year 10

MOVEMENTS OF THE NEW ADMINS
TRATION

All eyes are upon it. Our own country, Eu-
rope, the world now wait to see what is TO be
done to rescue this great, heretofore prosperous,
enterprising, and vastly capable Republic from
the effects Of bad government If they who
had ruled us for many years, till the 4th instant
had set themselves with undisguised purpose
and malice prepense to work the ruin of the ma
ton they could not have succeeded more effec
tually. Now that they are superseded by the
true friends of the country, the new admins
tration at this moment is emphatically the OBJ
served of all observers"
The Wdr Question.
Their first task, demanding consummate skill
of craftsmanship, was TO apply themselves to
keep the peace between this country and Great
Britain without compromising our national
honor. This has called for, and no doubt re-
ceived, their greatest and most laborious con-
sderation. II is, however, from the nature of
the case, an out-of-sight operation until the time
for disclosures, left in their discretion, shall have
arrived. Nevertheless, we know, that while
the public are left to conjecture, eventful trans
actions are going on between the two govern
ments.
Setting in order the m achinery of State.
The Executive branch Of our Government
comprehends the entire list Of appointments I'M
der the President, from the members of the Cabi.
net, through all classes, and ranks of the interme-
date, down to the most subordinate agencies APP
pertaining TO this vast machinery. II cannot be
said that we have new Government, till all
these agencies are put in order. II is great
work, demanding great consideration. There
is not, perhaps, a Government in the world,
where change of administration so materially
effects the machinery of State. 1t does not in
deed require the whole to be reconstructed; but
il does require it all to be examined, to be looked
into, with view TO ascertain what parts will
faithfully sustain and carry out the views and
responsibilities of the Head and his advisers.
An administration that is responsible TO the peo-
pie, to the remotest limit of its sphere for the
ton of every part, must be able to rely on the re-
sponslbility and fidelity OF its agents. The right
