felt in the continuance OF easy NoIey market, espe-
eially when viewed in connection with the decline OF
foreign exchange and the entire cessation Of foreign
shipments of gold The statement contains however,
no important feature. The loans show but small IN
crease, s27l 600, proving that the banks have been
unable TO expand their lines they desire, from the
lack Of desirable paper. This feet also proves that
there is still but a very moderate revival OF
the busiress depression Of the lest few months,
ard that there is not safe employment for any
considerable portion of the large sccumuations OF cap
i,sl at this point. There having been no important
receipt Of gold during the week, while the drain Tor
Philadelphia had been considerable II was thought the
specie reserve might show small decline. The re-
verse, however, proves TO be the csse and the Line is
up about 500 OoO with rising average. In addition
to the amount shown, the Bank vaults have been
strengthened by the receipt Of over a million and
quarter from California. The Banks hold
to-day probably thryfour and half millions.
They will probably lose 1900 GOO 81 OOOO 600 during
the week by payments into the Sub-Treasury on the
accepted bids for Treasury Notes but the Government
must Immediately dsburse the amount again. SO that
the loss will be but temporary. Indeed, nearly one
tenth of the loan was paid in by bdderto-iay, in
Treasury draft, which saves the moving OF so much
gold. The DEPOSIT line continues to increase. Tee
nominal figures but slightly changed, but in conse-
qutnce of the decreased cearngs the actual increase

The Horse Market.

There is an evident Improvement in the horse mar
kettle stables are beginning to fill up in fact the
sale stables in Twentyfourth street about half
full and there are good many inquirers and pur-
chasers in the street. principally for pretty good class
of work horses roadsters, such as sell for about
$l75 to $3.50 EACH
The most Of the stock in market s from this State
and Vermont, and there are some excellent horses.
A lot in Posts stable, just brought from Whites
town, n. Y, by JerOlomon, comprises as much value,
perhaps, as any drove of equal number ever brought
to this market. The asking price of pair is
81 800 We understand that was g. 900 offered Ortwo
pairs. We also noticed some fancy stock-at least,
fancy pricesn Tayl stable but believe there
yet very little demand for this class Of horses There
are not many men ready to buy horses at thousand
dollars pair but there are some who are ready and
willing to buy at half that price for such as are worth
the money; but there many more who prefer to
buy at not over siOO pair, at which good snug
pair of Morgans that can go In four minutes
valued.
There is very pretty young Black Hawk stud in
the street that some Ohio or Indiana farmer would do
well to buy at the moderate price asked.
From what we know of the wants OF farmers in this
vicinity we satisfied that there will be pretty
large demand this Spring for farmwork horses, gener-
ally OF the best class AS for prices il is our opinion
that fancy horses will be very slow of sale at any
price, ana that common work horses will be difficult
to sell at the prices current year ago. while for the
Intermediate grades the prices will not vary materially
from the prices Of lsst Spring, and that the market
Will be pretty active for good horses, not hghprced
ones, but such gentlemen drive sngly, such as
farmers Of the better class drive in PAIRS and for the
best sort Of city work-horses. And these are now
selling, and probably will continue 10 SELL at about the
same prices they did year ago. though in less nun
bers. In fact il is because the number is less that
they sell as well they do if there was full stock
in market, the price would inevitably 90 down,
probably TO pretty low fgue.

Leviathan without Air.

In a recent discussion before the London
Society of Arts. Mr.. {. W. Williams, the we'll
known engineer, exhibited drawing OF the
boilers Of the deviation steamship. aud took
occasion TO say that they presented the great
est violations Of natural and chemical laws
thai he had ever witnessed. He ridieulrd the
idea of their burning coal in the furnaces with
out great waste of fuel or an enormous evolu-
ton OF smoke. Each boiler-touble boiler
Of the Leviathan contains IL furnaces, and
about 400 900 cubic feet Of atmospheric air
per hour are required for proper combustion
OF the gusses alone; but Ia what manner the

1t will be observed that at the date of Gen.
TAYLoR's Inauguration, the public expendi-
lures were greater than at any time after,
until after the Inauguration of Gen. PIERCE.
The extraordinary expenses OF the first named
peri6c are accounted for in paying off the ac-
counts of the Mexican war and the peace
which followed. And from that very moment
a system of retrenchment was adopted and
successfully carried out, which reduced the
expenses of the last entire year of Mr.. FILL
MoRE's administration to about thirty-six and
a half millions Of dollars-some six millions
less than at the beginning of Gen. TAYLoR's.
But the very moment Gen. PIERCE came into
power, we see the scale turned, and yearly
increase of expenditures, until, at the end of
the last fiscal year, June 80, 1857, eight
months of which were PIERCE's and four b.
cHANAN's, they reach the enormous aggregate
of nearly siuy.fUe millions. being upwards of
twenty-one millions in excess of the year
ending FnLMoREs and initiating PIERCE's
administration. For the fiscal year ending
the 3Oth of the present month, there is an
enormous increase, being estimated at $685.
$4,000; and the estimates for the year end
ing 3Oth June, 1859, show a still further in
crease! We have left out of this computation
the payment of the public debt;so that whatever
permanent debt was contracted by Mr.. FILL
MORE, if there was auy, cannot, by any means,
be offered as plea in excuse of the reckless
ness of these latter-day democratic spoilsmen.
The simple truth is that the leaders of the
democratic party have degenerated into an
organized band of place-hunters and treasury
plunderers- from the President, whose salary
has been raised from twenty-five thousand, by
the incidental expenses of the White House,
to ffty-sir thousand down to his bOot-black, or
the lackey of Cabinet officer. The whole of
this money comes out of the pockets of the
people, and it is time they were beginning to
inquire into the manner of its expenditure.
A. 40 vcuumIug 50 InuoleraDle that tI.. .,oOpIc
should unite their voices as one man to crush
itJ
1t has long been a favorite theory with
southern sham democratic leaders that the
mode of raising the public revenue is I'M
equal and oppressive to the South. Their
most plausible objection to the tariff prnci-
pie. and in favor of free-trade has been, here
mt the South. that The South was bearing an
undue proportion of the burdens of govern
ment If this were true, how much more
reprehensible are these men, while protesting
to be the firmest, almost the exclusive friends
of the South, are yet found, according to their
theory, crushing out the very life-blood of the

their last game of deceit, palmed their last
humbug upon the people, then we miscalcu-
late the expedients of the one and the upright
honesty, intelligence and powers of endurance

Terrible Duel I'm France.

PARIS, May I6.-Everybody is talking to-
day of the disgraceful duel, aud public indig-
nation runs high against the conduct OF the
officers NJ de Pene is not dead, and there is
some hope of his recovery. He is dangerous

the sword passed through his body twice.
Not one of the Paris journals has, up to this
time, dared to say word OF the matter, SO
great is the fear of prosecution for false
news" in an affair which concerns the army.
The number of officers who came upon the
ground with the determination OF ensuring
tue death OF NJ. Pene was, | said twenty, but

exact numoer was torty-three. Ii seems that

Some days since we took occasion to amin
advert on the extravaganza of the present
and the latter part of the preceding admins
tration. The Union and American Joined us in
our structures, and attributed the unparalleled
extravaganza of the government to the errors
of Mr.. FILLMORE. We called upon that paper
for the facts and figures to laubstantiate the
statement, and after much evasion, itdeclined
the task. We have collected the ''facts and
figures" from official statements and present
them, hoping they may be of service to that
paper, as well as the people at large. Let
the Union md American, if it can, show where
Mr.. FIEENbRE plunged the nation in debt; and
If it is sincere in its denunciatiOns of the
wholesale plumber of the Treasury, which has
been going on of late years. let it hereafter hurl
them at the right quarter. Here is the state
ment for the last nine years, of the expenses
of the government, ending on the 3eth June

Death OF senator Henderson.

We regret to have to announce the decease
of the Hon. J. p. Henderson, one OF the Sena-
tors in Congress from the State of Texas. He
was detained at home by illness until late in
the session, and after his arrival in Washing
ton was able to give his attendance in the
Senate but a short time when illness again
confined him to his bed. He expired at his
lodgings in this city yesterday afternoon. The
deceased was a native of North Carolina. but
was an early settler in Texas, where he was
highly respected, as was evinced by the pro-
mnent offices which he was called to fill both
before and after annexation, the last of which
was the distinguished one of Senator of the
