completely renovated, and is projecting the
most magnificent schemes for the future.
There is also a marked improvement
Ia all kinds Of retail trade, and many ms'
nufaeturing establishments have resumed
operations. Wall street n much easier, and
the banks have comfortable specie basis
of twenty-four millions, . there or there
ab0uts" The leading stocks have come up to
their proper values, and the fancies sell for
more than they are wsrth, as usual. Money
begins to circulate more freely, collections are
made with more facility, and the tax receiver
is run down with the city debtors anxious to
settle up. On fine afternoon, like that of yes
terday, you will see the Broadway bazaars
crowded with ladies, who have now an opportu-
nifty to buy at fair prices. There are not so
many long faces down town as there were three
weeks ago; we hear nothing more from the un-
employed laborers-she honester portion Of them
finding plenty of hard work and sure pay at
the Central Falkland confidence, which is the
basis of all mercantile operations, is returning
more rapidly than could have been expected.
1t is quite evident, from all these indications,
that with proper foresight and little economy
to prevent too sudden an imitation, and thereby
bring about relapse, we may soon stand as
well as we did year ago. We have, at any
rate, broken the neck of the revulsion-have
passed through the panic, and are recovering
from the stagnation. At present trade of all
kinds is almost as active as it ever is at this
season of the year, which is never particularly
lively one

Coon TIMES CoyISG AGArN.-The financial
crisis seems to have exhausted itself, and we al
ready see signs of recovery Of trade of all
kinds from the succeeding stagnation. The
Opera, which IL an excellent barometer of pub
lie feeling, has all at once been rejuvinated by
the production of Robert lie Diabe" and the
dtJm of Formes the great basso. The rush to
Irving place on Monday night was something
unparalleled even in this city of sudden excite

from every stratum Of society from the top to

sent to postmasters who will DO eegraphsd the pro-

rangement apparent from the fact that will avoid
telegraphio blunders and publication In
newspapers distant from the capital at the earliest
practicable time. Although the utmost care has been
taken 70 prevent redundant language the message Ia
unAvodably long, owing to the prominent subjects of
Kansas, Utah, Central America and the currency.

from the effects Of the injuries received on that
casion The deceased, it appeared had been stabbed
IN the breast His case at first was considered hope
less but contrary to the expectations of the doctors
he gradually recovered, and yesterday was dis
charged from the New York Hospital cured. On his
way home he was seized with a sudden illness, and
died before be could be conveyed to his residence.
II is supposed that the wound was not thoroughly
healed, and that the muscular exertion Of walking
opened the wound afresh and thus brought on inter.
nal hemorrhage. An inquest will be held upon the
body Of deceased to-day.
A man named Patrick Kelly resident of Null
berry street, was arrested yesterday by officers
MCGOWAN and Bedell, of the Sixth ward police, on
suspicion of having been implicated in the late rob-
berry of $4,000 in doubloons from the bark Pen
tucket. The prisoner was seen to have number of
doubloons in his possession, and this led to his ar
rest on suspicion. He was detained at the station
house for examination. Officer Elder, of the Deputy

robbery in charge, succeeded in tracing the mate

The semioficia table of the vote for Mayor
which we give this morning shows the election OF
Daniel F. Temann by small majority over Fernan-
do Wood, after probably the most excited election
that has ever taken place in this city, The vote Is
the largest by thousands that was ever cast IN
New York, and evinces the nature of the determined
efforts made by all parties to secure for their fayo-
rites prepondsrance of votes The democrats have
reduced the majority of the combined opposition in
1856 some six thousand as the following table will

BILE Know Nothing party, under the pressure
of the slavery agitation, has vanished into
air, like chat before the wind. With split
among the democracy in Congress upon this
Kansas squabble, the democratic party goes by
the board, and thenceforth all government
issues and measures will depend upon sectional
supremacy, or sectional compromises extorted
by threats and plots of rebellion.
The line of safety is with the administration
Give this Lecompton programme trial. Await

1t may prove to be an honest and satisfactory
one; but should it prove to be cheat or de-

Let not the Northern democratic members of Con-
gress 60 off at half cock. Mr.. Buchanan has
adopted the policy of steering between the vio-
lent extremes of the Northern niger worship
pers and the Southern niger drivers. He

The best course for all conservative men to
pursue is to go with him, and get this Kansas
firebrand out of Congress as quickly as possible,
and let the agitating politicians, dirteaters and
fre-eaters make the most of 1t.
