The exports Of specie for the year 1855 will not
vary much from s27, SOC, 900, while the receipts
from California will reach very nearly double that
amount thus leaving handsome balance In favor
of New York. Our banks are well supplied with
the precious metal as the half yearly dividends are
payable on the first OF the year. they have been
compelled 10 represent paper which at other times
would have been discounted Banking capital has
been much increased during the year, which now
amounts In this city alone 10 $50 000, 900, which
is sufficient for all business transactions.
The New York and Erie railroad is doing most
extensive business, and why the stock should be
selling at such low figure Is mystery. learn
from reliable authority that the receipts during the
first fifteen days of this month, was but a-fcw
thousands short Of 100000. Surely with such a
business the stock ought to be over $50 dollars a
share of 500 paid in. There must be leak

The opera season closes in this city on Moa-

that the Italian opera cannot be supported here

Tho Union Of yesterday publishes the fol-
lowing resolution, adopted by the caucus of the
brigade on Friday night last:
Resolved, That We viii adhere to our platform
and our nominee"
The Union is jubilant over this resolution,
and lauds the frmness Of tho brigade to an al
most inconceivable extent For the benefit Of
our readers we publish the proceedings Of that
caucus, which exhibit considerable want OF
firmness
"a Democratic caucus was held in the Capitol
Friday evening. Fity-three members we're pres
ent--H3n. g. w. Jones, OF Tennessee, in the
chair Much excited debate was had Some were
for, and many against any compromise. Mr..
Shorter, of Alabama, urged compromise with
the National Americans. He would merge party
in country, and organize on any national conser-
vative basis. Hon. Howell Cobb, of Georgia, made
the principal speech of the evening, urging that
any compromise would ignore their principles.
Are you, he said, to 60 before your constitu-
ents and acknowledge you trailed in the dark Ian
tern banner they placed in your hands? Ny coun-
sci Is TO stand firmly by your principles and your
candidate
So Mr.. Shorter prefers the country TO party,
and therefore is in favor Of uniting with the
Americans

Union produces to prove the firmness Of the

On Friday night last bill passed both Boards of
our City Council to light the streets with gas, 80
there is now prospect that we shall not have to
remain much longer in darkness.
A bill authorizing the Mayor to appoint an extra
Sunday police also passed tho Board Of Aldermen.
An efficient Sunday police is much needed here,
and no doubt the riotous and disordery conduct OF
the boys and negroes, on the occasion Of the two
late fircmens funerals, has prompted our councils
to enlarge the police force on Sundays.
Navigation on the canal is suspended. The last
boat left here on Saturday evening preceded by an
ice-cutter. Quite feet of boats arrived during
the past week. bringing large quantities Of produce
TO our market, consequently we may not immedi-
ately look for raise of prices.
Mayor Addison's health is somewhat improved,
so much so that he Is now able to appear in the
streets.
The Ladies Fair at the Union Hotel Is progress
ing finely. II is most splendidly gotten up, and
reflects great credit on the ladies Of Georgetown.
The hall is decorated in most elegant style, and
the number and variety Of useful articles exposed
for sale is really astonishing. They have also every
decacy Of the season. and the bill Of fare presents
great attractions to those fond of good eating.
Everybody should go and examine the articles
there displayed, and they will doubtless be able to
suit themselves with holiday presents for their
friends; and then to be waited upon by pretty
