The Horse Market.

The following article, from the Tribune, in
regard to the above subject, will not be with
out interest to some of our readers:
We have seldom seen Twenty fourth street
wear more lively appearance than it has du-
ring the past week, though we have known
more horses sold. In f.ci, not more than half
as many horses brought here for sale as there
were four or FIVE years ago. There has been
for two or three years very large Western
demand. particularly in the Chicago market,
which has kept some thousands out of this mar
ket The sales here now, as nearly as we could
ascertain, will average about thirty a day,
nearly all of which are for city work, at prices
from 10 to % per cent. higher than last Spring.
Fancy horses, until last week, have been kept
close in city stables, and very lew sent in from
the country. During the pleasant days of the
past week good many have been trotted out
to show themselves, and few sold. There is
good stock of all kinds in II arket; nearly all
the stables except McCauley's are kept full.
He having been absent selling horses and mules
in Delaware, has not kept up his stock here.
Posts five stables appear to be full, above aud
below, say an average of two hundred. These
appear to be mostly these State horses. Cham
berlain's great stable is well filled up; many

at the West is so much higher than formerly,
it don't pay TO bring horses here, particularly
that class of heavy, strong farm horses, cont
mon in Ohio The price OF this description
has not advanced as much as those OF finer form
or great speed. We noticed a sale of two o
the sort alluded to, great, strong, coarse OH,
horses, IL hands high, good for farm, at $lll
and Sl4O each, while a little white mare, par

Dress has q Moral Effecr

Upon the conduct of mankind, says the sensblb.
philosopher, Sir Jonah Barrington-peOpe in,
modern times understand This well, and hence.
il is, that neat Boots are essential to complete
the dress of gentleman of taste; an ugly
shaped boot destroys all the fine effects pro-
duced upon mankind by the skill of the taller

should be, unless he displays neatness about

this great man, so great was his propensity for
wearing Boots, that he would wear them con-
tinually for ten days and nights together. To

The freight carried between the Pacific and
Atlantic amounts, therefore, to more than toetre
hundred thousand tons This enormous
amount would be greatly increased by railroad
transportation; but we will suppose, for the
purpose of aFgument, that only one-haG the
present tonnage between the Atlantic and the
Pacific were carried on the Railroad, and this
was carried at the rate OF $40 per ton, which
is not half the rate on our Atlantic railroads.
We should have then 600, 900 tons, at $40 per
ton, which is SI2, 100000. The transportation
Of Pacific Road would, therefore, at the very
beginning, pay eighteen millions per annum{
which will pay the expenses OF making the
road. and q per cent. dividend on a capital OF
$i5OOO0. This, however, leaves out Of view
all the important results to flow from such a
road, viz: the rapid settlement of the country
and the InmeHse increase of Pacific commerce.
IL cannot be doubted, by any intelligent, con-
siderate PEARSON, that If such a road were sctu-
ally in existence, that in ten years il would
more than double our Pacific commerce.
Would not large part of the AsIatIc commerce

The passenger traffic certainly would. Thu
alone would make a great difference. 10 ter
years, we may safely estimate the Pacific com

o. The American Guano Company have
received further aud important evidence Of the
almost inexhaustible deposits of guano on the
island which belongs to them. Three or four
captains of whaers have recently exhibited to
the officers of this company their log-books,
showing that they landed at this island and saw
the grave of tho American seamen buried there.
The existence of the island and that it is COW
cred with guano appears to be placed beyond a
doubt. One of the captains alluded to offered
to abandon the voyage upon which he was
bound and take charge Of ship to load with
guano at this island. This is one Of the most
important discoveries for this country that has
ever been made, as il makes the United States
