VNTE respectfully ask your attention to the fol
w lowing reasons why you should make youl
purchases of goods in the New York market, very
frankly confessing tits our desire that you should
do so.
1t must be admitted that from so 10 GO per rent
of all The foreign merchandise which is imported init
this country is rreeired into the port Of Nav fonK
OF course there is here the opportunity for tho
widest selection The stock of goods on hand ii
this city, is at all times, larger than the unitet
stocks Of all the other Eastern cities. 1t is equally
certain that New York is the chief and great depo
for the manufactures of the Eastern and Middle
States, and of the products Of the Western.
The construction of the Ohio and Illinois Canal
is making very great change in the Commercial
routes of the traffic of the Great West.
The prices of goods in New York by reason o
its immense supplies and the consequent competi
ton, are necessarily lower, and credits are extend
ed on as liberal scale at any other point
The Merchants, Manufactures, and Importer
whose addresses are suboned, are prepared to prov
the truth of these positions, and will be happy t
dispose of their goods on TERMS which will verif
all that is asserted here.

SENATE.
Memorials were presented from various quar-
ters asking erection of light houses; also for
the establishing Of new Post Routes.
Memorials Were presented from New York;
declaring war 10 be great evil, and asking the
reference of all national difficulties to arbitra-
ton.
The bill providing for the settlement Of the
claims OF New Hampshire was taken up. The
claims are grounded upon the services of the
troops of the United States during the Canada
troubles.
The question being on ordering the bill to be
engrossed, discussion arose between Messrs.
Crttenden, Anterior, Wescott and others.
The question on the engrossment was then
put and negatived.
The Senate then resumed the consideration
of the bill providing fov an augmentation of the
Navy, by the construction of ten iron steamers;
the question being on the proposed amend
ment of Mr., flanagan to appropriate the pro-
ceeds of the public lands to that purpose.
Mr.. Bagby having the floor, made objections
to the bill, on account ofits being a war mea-
sure, and on account of the appropriation being
too small. He was in favor of giving the Or
egon notice.
Mr.. KILLER went for the bill as far as it re-
garded a. snail steam vessels, but was OPP
poSeh 70 tne construction OF large Ones lie
did not view this as a war measure, nor did he
.a4@yos;end the giving the Oregon notes would
lead to hostihiies-
Mr.. Cass said few words about placing
The country in a state of defence, when after a
short Executive session the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
A resolution was reported from the Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs TO terminate the Oregon
debate on Thursday. 1t was laid on the table.
The House went into committee Of the whole,
and resumed the consideration of the joint reso-
luton giving the Oregon notice.
Mr.. Owen spoke in favor of giving notice,
and claiming the whole territory. He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Thompson of Pa. on the same
side.
Mr.. Holmes obtained the floor, and on his
motion the committee rose.
After the reception of Executive comnunica-
tons in answer to resolutions of inquiry, the
House adjourned,
