EFFECT OF THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE IN
New YORK The New York correspondent Of
the Philadelphia North American says:
The Message has been received with much
favor by all classes. ! think have not heard
so little objection urged to any message, mean
Of course that it is so much less Objectionable
than it might be, that all are tavorably diaap-
pointed, excepting the bears in Wall-st., who
wanted a strong war message TO create panic.
The Sub-Treasury suggestion is looked upon
as gasconade, and few Imagine that it will have
the least chance in Congress.
The effect upon stocks by the message, was
little or nothing. Some Of the fancies were
heavy and Norwich and Worcester fell of, but
no more than it probably would have done if
the message had not come. This stock IS put
up or down by certain parties, irrespective OF
collateral influence.
TRADE WITH GREAT BRlTAN. The exports
from the port of New York to Great Britain
in the month of November, reached nearly
two millions Of dollars, one-third of which
was breadstufiS alone. About two-thirds Of
the aggregate exports for the month, were in
shipments TO Great Britain and dependencies.
The external demand for our staple agricultu-
RAJ products this year, will be very large, with
out corresponding extent Of importations.-
The balance of trade between the United
States and all other countries, must nett
large balance in our favor, and give us a
large importation Of the precious metals.
AN ioNEsT Public OFFICER. The Union
states that the accounts of Mr.. Van Ness, the
late collector of the port of New York, have
been adjusted and finally closed on the books
ofthe treasury. 1t appears that the accounts,
as made out at the custom-house, were balance
ed, all the public monies received being stated
to have been paid over and accounted for; and
the result of the treasury examination is a diff !
ference merely Of A cents III an amount Of a.
bout $50, 100000.
RATHER SEVERE ON THE LADIES. The Bos-
ton Transcript (cditod by a lady,) intimatos
that it is not an unhcard Of thing, in that city,
for ladies to have articles Of dress, capes, col
lars, jewelrY, Sc, sent home for examination,
which being retained over night, have been
found to have been ooora on particular occasions,
and returned the next day with the message
that they cont do!
RIGHTs OF Wives. The Senate of Georgia
has passed a law for the protection of the
rights and property of married females. 1t Sc
cures TO the wife the corpus of tho property,
but not the artificial increase When the bill
passed there was round of applause in the
galleries.

securely block up the river"
