New York Correspondence. NEW YORK, March 13, 1841. The navigation of the Hudson will probably re-open within three days. Yesterday afternoon we had a wet snow-storm, with a little rain at the close, and a furious gale toward morning. The wind blew strong from the South till 9 o'clock, which was very favorable to the breaking up of the firm ice still remaining. This morning the steamboat Utica, Capt. Schultz, left our city fully determined to force her way through to Albany if possible. It is an even chance that she gets through to-morrow. Among her passengers were Gov. SEWARD, Messrs. FILLMORE, MARVIN, and MORGAN of Congress, and Mr. LORD, President of the New York and Erie Railroad Company. So severe was the gale that I presume the Eastern boats did not venture out from either Stonington or Norwich last night; so we have no mail from Boston. The Whigs of CONNECTICUT have re-nominated all their present Members of Congress in the several Districts. So emphatic an expres sion of approbation is seldom afforded, but in this case it was riehly deserved. The Loco-Foco majority in NEW HAMPSHIRE is about as usual. The vote is much lower than that of last fall. The Whigs made no earnest effort. : The panic in relation to Redback Money, or the notes of our General Local Banks, has not : yet subsided. The great mass of those not specially discredited, if located North and West of Albany, are either bought by the Brokers at 3 a 5 per cent discount, or refused altogether. The following are considered decidedly under the weather, viz; Binghampton, Farmers', Seneca Co.; Millers' Clyde; Farmers and Mechanie's, Batavia; Manhatten Exchange; North American; North : U. S. Trading and Banking; and tenth Ward, New York; Staten Island, Port Richmond; Union, Buffalo; and Western New York, Rochester. All these are sold at 30 to 50 per cent discount except tenth Ward, which is held at 10 per cent. As many as twenty others are not bought by the Brokers, but no failure or misconductis alleged against them. The Woolgrowers of this City and Willoughby of Brooklyn have been discontinued, but their notes are redeemed at par. Some damage was done to the shipping in our port by the gale last night, but nothing serious. It is reported, however, that a large ship is ashore on Sandy Hook. We shall hear of further disasters. Money is still tight, but Exchanges are deci$ dedly improving. On Boston, par; Philadelphia, 3 1-2 a 3-4; Baltimore 3 1-2; Richmond 5; Charleston 2 1-2; Savannah 4 a 1-2; Augusta 14 a 15; Mobile 10 1-2 a 11; New Orleans 7 1-2 a 8; Nashville 15; Louisville and Cincinnati 9. Bills on England, 7 a 7 1-2. Stocks are higher to day. U. S. Bank 17. The Revenue collected at our Port in 1839 amounted to $13,964,031 : in 1840 to but $7,557,441. A brilliant prospect ahead ! I The Markets are without change, but there IS I a better feeling, and a strong, steady demand for t cotton to go abroad. e HAROLD. Yours, e
