Politics IN WALL. SrREET-THE MAYogALTY
FlzA.s AT THE MERCHANTS ExcuASGE.-" Every
man to his trade" is very homely but very
sensible axiom. Ii is a great pity that in the
course OF things we find 20 many deviations
from that sound rule. Lately We have had par
sons all over the country turned into lire-eating
and pes,ilcnt politicians; and now we have the
merchants and frequenters of Wall street COM
mcncing to follow their lead. The meeting of
Saturday afternoon in front of the Merchants
Exchange was proof sufficient that the mer-
chants and spectators were much more at
home in attending to the prices Of -four and
cotton, and tallow, and in bullng and bearing
railroad stocks than they could ever hope to
he in attempting to amend our political condi-
ton The materials for q splendid demonstra-
ton were at hand, hut the managers were uu-
used to such things and did not know how to
take advantage Of them. There were no speakers
provided to address the audience, aud the con
sequence was that one or two fiery ward
politicians got chance Of distinguishing
themselves and ofsaying something Cor the candi-
date of the American party for Mayor much to
the disgust OF the managers and the meeting
Then the Chairman was in hurry to 20 home
TO dinner. and the merchants were in u like
anxious condition. The result was that the as
semblsge dispersed dissatisfied with the whole
proceedings. and that nothing came out Of them
but the nomination of "a man whose letter ot de-
cination the Chairman held In his hand at the
time. and the appointment Of n comni',cc-the
members Of which will probably never meet
for the purpose intended
All this shows The folly and absurdity Of men
undertaking to do what they know nothing at
all about. Fortunately. or unfortunately. TIE
business Of politics is speciality in this coun-
try. confined to a small class-aad that class by
no means the most respectable II our mcr-
chants do not wish to have themselves
dupcd and fooled by some knayish politicians.
they will not repeat the experiment
Of Saturday evening. II would be very de-
sirable thing no doubt to have our municipal
government purified and some limit put to the
steady enormous increase Of taxes. But our
new Dedged politicians Of Wall street ought to
have brains enough 10 understand that the
amount of these taxcs Ii in no degree affected
by or connected with the incumbent Of the
Office of Mayor. If there il profigacy and ex-
travagance, and corruption, and shameful neg
ligence in the management Of our city affairs
the responsibility lies with the Common Coun-
Gil and the Comptroller. They ought also to
know that the presen. shameful condition of the
city IL in great measure due to the despotic
and corrupt acts of Tho last black rpptblican
Legislature which were forced upon the
city against the will and in spite Of the resist
ance Of our citizens and their chief magistrate.
Our merchants should recognize these facts
that are patent TO the rest of the community.
Let them look to the Common Council and elect
proper men to that body If they desire TO put
stop 10 corruption and robbery.

THE FSANoAAd NEWS ny THE ARIEL-The
Ariel, from Southampton on the 4th, was board
cd on Saturday off Cape Race and her news
published in Yesterdays HERALD.
They had received in England one weeks
news Of our condition under the suspension Of
specie payments; they were fully aware of the
action Of our banks, and of the Judges Of the
Supreme Court in sustaining them. Still, az
yet, no change for the worse seems to have
taken place abroad We are told that the Lon
don money market was depressed, but the funds
had risen; cotton and broadstuffs were both
heavy with a declining tendency.
1t Is evident that the English have not begun
to feel the full effect of our embarrassment here
Partly through the efforts of the London TINES
and other journals in the interest Of the stock
jobbers and speculative bankers, and partly in
consequence of the cheering effect of the India
news, the London money market has been kept
up to pitch which must have surprised even
the most sanguine. Ten per cent was the rate
which was confidently mentioned as likely to be
adopted by the Bank az soon a. the news of our
suspension Of specie payments reached England;
and, If the Bank did not suspend, II certainly
seemed that no Less pressure could be relied
upon 20 countcract the tendency 10 the expor-
taticu Of gold TO the United States. II IA pro-
bablc that the government needing money
for the India war, has interposcd
to prevent this natural RISE and has
promised, in case Of emergency, to come to the
relief Of the bank: for neither in the papers by
the Arabia nor in this telegraph of the Arel's
news do we perceive any indication that the rate
is to be raised above eight per cent.
Some days and even weeks must elapse before
we hear the full effect of the crisis in England
So long az any thing remains to be done in
India, " will he the interest Of the government
to depreciate, and If possible, to arrest panic.
So long as there remains any money to he raised
for the suppression Of the mutny il il the policy
Of the government, in purely commercial
point Of view, to keep things straight and quiet
in the financial world. On the other hand, 1t is
evidently evcryones interest to give the threat
cned houses every chance, and also the rope
they require; so that those among them who
have means on which they can rely may have
time TO 60 round to their friends and obtain all
the assistance they can.
We are now hearing of this period Of respite.
In few days the game will be played out. II
will he no longer possible to conceal or TO miti-
gate the injury inflicted by our disasters here;
and be the consequences what they may, the
houses which have plunged into the present

We publish this morning full report Of the severe
disaster which occurred to the clipper ship Great
Republic, on her voyage from the Chncha Islands to
London. Our correspondent. dating at the Falk-
land Islands, on the 10th of September notes the
rise and progress Of the storm and reports the con-
dtion Of the vessel after she fortunately made port
The schooner Red Fox arrived at New Orleans
from Tampico, Mexico, on the 9th inst, with news
to the 3lst ult. and $63 ,622 in specie Senior Fer.
nandez Flores was acting as Governor during the
absence of General Cara at the capital. The Legs-
lature was still in session. The great Sierra road
approached completion. It was hoped that the raj
road from Tampico to the city of Mexico, with
branch to Vera Cruz, would soon be completed and
every communication Afforded The churchmen
still refused to acknowledge the authority Of the
civil power in the State.
Our correspondent at Grand Turk, Turks Islands,
writing the Sd inst, says:-"The salt rakings
are large and 900 bushels were sold this week at
81 cents per bushei. The stock on hand is over
AZ 600 bushels with an increase in prospect. The
health Of the island ia good. The supply Of turtle
is far below the demand; turtle is now an important
feature in our exports. There is an increased de-
mand for junk, old copper, zinc, &c. Breadstuhs
and provisions are nearly exhausted, and it is sim
gularly strange that American merchants have not
directed their attention this way in supplying Ameri-

The value of foreign goods imported at the port Of
Boston during the week ending 18th inst. amounted
to 81 1882 1913, showing increase of $22 ISL com
pared with the imports for the corresponding period
in 1856.

IREEsPoNsIBuITY OF OUR BOARDS or CoMMis-
sioNFRs-Of all the anomalies which exist in
our city government the most remarkable IL
that presented by the different Boards Of Com
missioners. the aggregate expenditures Of which
amount annually to the sum of between three
and four millions Of dollars. aud which are, to
all inicnts and Pun poses, irresponsible to any
authority. This remark applies particularly to
The Commissioners composing the Board of
Education. 10 the Commissioners Of Emigration,
the Commissioners of the Central Park, ard the
Governors Of the Almshouse. Although some
Of these are required 10 make detailed reports
Of their proceedings every year to the Sts @
Legislature, they recognize no executive autho-
ri'y hut their own, and expend and appropriate
the peoples money in that feeling Of perfec
security which official irresponsibility always
creates.
The strongest cxempifcaton Of THE fact l.
to be found in the Gaze Of the Beard Of Ellca-
ton. whose expenditures for the pro-
sent year are estimated at over twelve
hundred thousand dollars, and who are respon-
sible only TO the Legislature of this State
NOW inns fespchsioiii.y amouhts 10 mourning,
and, 20 long az the Board remains separate

on increasing out of all proportion to the ao-
tual demands Of education. The fact il, ell

public, and to whom the people Of New York
are chiefly indebted for the enormous increase

THE DErALcArroNs IN THE CRY ExrENpr-
TuRE-AcrIoS or THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
The report of the committee of the Common
Council appointed to investigate the city ac-
counts. comes before the Board of Aldermen
this evening for confirmation. 1t viii b. recol-
lected that after detailing the discoveries that
the committee had made of unvouchcd cxpcn-
dturcs of the city revenues to the extent of
eight millions, II recommended an appropria-
ton of five thousand dollars TO enable them to
prosecute their inquiries into these defalcations
II il the question Of this appropriation that
comes before the Aldermen for decision this
evening, and we trust that there IL sufficient
honesty and public spirit amongst them not to
defeat the inquiry by refusing their sanction to
the grant II is of the last Importance that the
discoveries made by the committee shall be fully
carried out and tested, and we hold every man who
opposes the appropriation to be a party to the
delinquencies which il il their object to expose.
If the vote be passed this evening the commit
tee will in all probability be able to conclude
their Investigations before the close Of the year
and the Legislature will thus be enabled to de-
wise measures to put stop to the frauds and
leakages by which the revenues OF the city are
profiigately dissipated.

the only way in fact to put stop to the
schemes Of swindling and corruption Of which
this official irresponsibity is the fruitful source,
is by placing the supervision and controlling
