MONEY MATTERS. TRADE, &c.


England forms d subject Tor newspaper para
oraphs. The New York Courier OF Wednesday
has the iollowins:-
As We surrnsed Mr.. Corcoran did not think it
worth while 10 bring out any coin with him, bur
he was succeeded To the extent Of his expectations
and wishes in selling the United States stocks he
took with him.
The article in our editorial columns rom The
London Times, on the subject OF European in
veslmeDts in our socks indicates iar DISPOSE
rion-and The reception given 10 Mr.. Corcoran
personally, and he proposals made 10 him, prove
satisfactorily enough that The credit OF the United
States sock in Europe is unqueslionable
We learn generally from Mr.. Cofcoran, that
while in London he received applications from
Inc Continent Tor United STATES Stock; but that
having sod three millions Of dollars, and accom-
plisied the object Of his r,sit he refused 10 make
further sales. There can be no donbt but lie
sale Of 50 large an amount Of the Stock in Len
don, and the attention drawn 10 our Stock by The
Times will lead % future investment in H. Mos
assnredly there is 40 Government Sleek in Eu-
rope which should be considered so safe and pro.
firable an investment.
The New York Express OF Wednesday alter
noon says.
MIR CoIcoran has returned from London sue
cessful in selling considerable amount OF The
Government loan held by himself and others
The report ol those interested is that The terms
are perfectly satisfactory rather indenu'te
expression, but The whole operation is one that
people generally have very little interest about;
n. receiving the benefit OF cheap loan, or sui
tering any par OF The loss that may have attend
ed The negotiation. The effect upon Government
stocks has been favorable, and an advance has
been obtained. Money has become more abun-
dant, moi only with casual borrowers, but al The
banks, which now discount paper refused for
some Two or three weeks past. Merchants are
getting lii,ie easier in their finances, and alto
eelhef the general lone OF money affairs is beller.
The decrease in the importa,ions, and The conse-
oueni cessation Of the demand upon the banks
for coin, has enabled them TO strengthen their
specic basis, which some have done 10 the
amount Of fifty per cent. within three weeks-the
period when the imports began to fall of
GEN. WORKMAN INCIDENT AT THE OPERA.
Last night (says The Philadelphia Bullein)
there was an OVERLOOKING audience 10 witness The
Opera OF Lucrezia Borsia, AT The Chestnut Street
Theatre A greater array OF fashion and beauty
has seldom been seen even in Philadelphia. In
the interval between the first and second acts, II
was whispered that General Worth was present,
aud at once shon. OF Worth" "Worth p

as lumnlluous manner as conld be expected
from 30 nigh-bred an audience. The Distinguish

shouts were then rcdGubled-lhe audience rose
en- nassc-a hundred lorgncites were levelled at
the General, and as many pairs OF bright eyes
darted their brightest glauces from this danger

IN with the enthusiasm OF the audience, COM
menced playing "Hail Columbia" which was
received with shouts; and then the cries aud

This time the Genefai safe unmoved-ln close

and unbending under This assault OF popular
feeling, AS he was 4, The slormins oil The Bishops

"GOD On THE NORTH, THEY DE-
SERVE TO BE CHEATED !'-Such was the
expression Of Governor Gayle of Alabama to
Hon. F. w. Bowdon of the same State, while
the latter was protesting against allowing North
ern Wing members OF Congress and editors &c
deceive their constituents aud readers with the
idea. that General Taylor was in favor of re.
strictlng slavery. We call the attention of the
Northern Wings, who are representing Genera
TAYLOR as in favor of the Wilmot Proviso, tc
this matter. Mr. Bowdon, in public speech a,
Washington City, some days since, related a
conversation in the House of Representatives, a
few weeks previous, between himself and Go
vernon Gayle of Alabama. Governor Gayle il
one of the most violent Taylor men in the coun-
try, and remarked TO Mr.. Bowdon, that if &C.
neral Taylor was elected, they would "carry
their niggers into New Mexico and California y
"But" said MIR. Bowdon. "wny are not Gen.
Taylors opinions on This ioporlan, question
publicly given2"
Because" said Governor Gayle, IF tlc North
pers 10 kno,u them, they mould nspcr support Inn;
there are Webster, Davis, Ashmun aud Corwin
you know would not support him."
"Then II Taylor is elected, the NoIh is 10 be
deceived and cheated" said Mr.. Bowdon.
CD - thu Norh' said Gov. G., "they
deserve 10 b. cheated; ihy deserve il ior their
pas, sins"
Such Is The game now being played by The
Wing leaders upon the people OF the North.
