MISTORX¥ OF TIE SPRAGUZ FAMILY, From the New York Tvmes, Nov, 4. When we romember that two familics of Bpragues, unacquainted aud in no way rolated, wero ropresentou in the onrliost duys of tho | New England colonies—TFrancis Bpraguo, who aiivod at Plyinouth i the ship Aunne, in July, 1623, and Ralph, Rickard, and Wiltiam' Spraguo, threo young mon, sons of Hdward Bpraguo, of Upway, Dorsetshire, England, who went to Salem, Moss,, in 1629—it i8 not surprising ,that tho two fomilies, trom & fusion, of which the Spragues, of Providenco, are desconded, should bave so marked a place in _the history of New England. The records of Rhods Island tcem with chronicles of the Spraguo fomily, one of whom ropresented Providence in the Genoral Asgembly of the Colony in 1696, = William Spraguo, the founder of the fortunes of the A. & W. Spragne Manufacturiug Com-, pany, was the sccoud son of Solh Sprague, of UDuxbury, who was the fruit of the union of the two families of which I have spoken. He started a small mill in Cranston in 1811, soon ofter Samuel Slater, an Englishman, bad elocted his cotton mill, the firet in the Unitod States, in the neighborhood, In iime he enlarged his business, and added sawmills to his othor busi- ness, Ho was n thoroughly Emspnrnus man, and when he died, in 1836, ho loft n largo ‘npnmy to Lis two mons, Amass and Willlam, the former of whom was tle father of the presont men. Amnsa Sprague married Miss Mitcholl, of May Flower parentage, thoroby still Leoping up the early colonial Pruutige of tho family, Mrs, Sprague is etill alive. ‘Uho brutal murder of Amasn Sprague in 1843, whilo quictly walking about ‘his_own farm, will no doubt bo still vividly called to mind by mony. Ho was shot dead by a miscreant, who paid the penalty of his crime on tlie gallows, simply because ho hnad opposed the man's applica- tion for a liconse to sell liquor. Mr. Sprague loft two song and two doughters—Amasn and Willinm Bprague, and Mra. Tathem and_Mra. Doyle, tho wifo of ‘the present Mayor of Provi- dence. Mr, Bpraguc's partner and youuger brother William took an active partin public affaira, Ho wns clected to Congrees in 1835 Governor of Ruode Island in 1838, and Unito Btetos Senator iu 1842, Ho died in 1556, leaving ono gon, Byron Sprague, aud one daughter, the lato Mrs, Hoyt, both of whom are sinco doad, How tho_busines of A. & W. SBprague grew and multiplied during tho last and present gonera- Lions, till it renched its present colosal propor- tioue, i too woll kuown to need recapitulation, Uhdoubtedly its too-rapid growth and oxtension in differont branches of manufacturos has led to tho prosent trouble, ~With cotton mills, deluine mills, print works, iron works, and numerous other enterprises, the Spragues have had too much to earry for troublons times, and are now compolled to ask their friends and neighbors to bolp them to sustain the weight, Apropos to this matter, I will relate an inci- dent told to me some three or four yeurs ago b 3enator Willinm E{)mgnu himgelf, and whicl comes in very portinontiy at tho presont mio- mont, The "Samuel Bluter to whom I have aliuded above, did not Ernapur with his cotton- mill 80 woll ad his friend and neighbor, Willinm Sprague, of Cranston, did with his, and ho wes sompolled to summon his creditors togethor. While the meoting of Blater's’ creditors wos in session, Hprague passed by drive ing a lond of lumbor to mmkot from his saw-mill. Heo was called in, and his adviea in the mattor was requested, Aftor listening to & recital of tho siate of affairs and unlimiied ox- pressions of sympnthy, but bLearing no oue pro= Euuo to holp poor Blater out of uis diftlculties, e cxclaimed romowhat tentily : “What's the use of {alkii about sympathy? If friend Blator is an Lbonost man, s I (uke him him to be, the only sympathy worth anything to Lim iu practieal relief, I'll contributed $20,000 to friend Slnler if you will do the same,” * Tho ereditors immedintoly mised tho monoy, ond DM, Blater rosumed businogs, — THE RAILROADS.

THE TRADE IN DRY GOODS. Special Dispateh to The Chicaan Tribune, TUE SITUATION IN HOSTON. Bosro, Noy. 5, —Bumors are ourrent of the tomporary embarrassment of soveral large dry- goods vatablishments in this city. But tho fact upon which theso are Lased is probably less se- rious than they would at first scem to indicate. It is rogarded by thoso best inforraed that thero - has been o general extonsion,—that is, that timo lhas beon given and received on largo “bills and notes. Tho dry-goods trade is dull of necessity. Tt week thoro was a goneral falling off of from 14 to 134 conts in the price of staplo cotton goods. A vast amount of drygoods wes destroyed Dby the great fire, and concerns wore 1more or less crippled nfter tho fire, being driven out of their old places into new ones. Tho jobbers generally got in small stocks, bacauge they had no place to put large onos, and propared for the coming trade on n comparatively small scale. —Thiy trade, the last spring, was unusually good—bot~ ter than for some time proviously, with somo lines botter than sinco tho war. The deslers made good profits, and sold clean uwp. Then, for tho presbnt fall trado, thoy agein put in small ~ stocks, and = whon tho onio cumo the trade hore was probably inbettor condition to stand it for this roason. Had the fall trade beon what was expocted, thoy Would have spocdily got back to their old ' basia bofore the firo ; but, trade dropping off sudden- ly, and the whole bueinees coming nhmost to a standstill, they of courso suffor, but in s less dogreo than firms in othor cilios, They are simply 1 o statd of unplessant quict. The Western trade bought early and not ko henvy ns usual ; and, when tho panio struck, shut down almost entirely. The New England {rade aléo bought lighter than wusual, and now purchago only in small orders, and just cnough to supply the every-day trade, which—the de- Kmuamn affecting all lYmpl«—ia vory light and ucmncini:. But small suns are paid down on Dills, It 8 probably A SEASON OF GENERAL ACCOMMODATION all sround. Jobbarsdo nov press retailers: who lavo the reputation of being good in ordinary times, and tho creditors of jobbors do not press them, boing contont, if tho trado can be helped - along, to take smnll payments ‘and move whend gontly, The fooling is, of courso, one of doprossion, bul the expres- eion i8 vory froquantly Leard that no Boyore consequonces will follow the present un- satisfactory stato of affairs, and that the spring business will opon earlior than usual and on a hoealthy bnsis, Of course, sll are not of this opinion, arguing from the fact that the de- pression 18 €0 wide-spread,—nffecting not only tho wmanufacturers and the jobbers, but the consumers,—Lhat n roturn to bright times will not_como ualil spriug is advanced. 'This class hold that consumera generally will got on with- out purchasing winter goods, and that tho win- for trade will very Inrgoly dvop out altogethor, and that the enrly spring will bo ouly the or- dinary spring trade. Largo establishmonts are CUTTING DOWN THEIR HELD and reducing their operntions ; and, na & conse- (fi:lencn, the working people are keenly faeling tho effect of tho depression, Ono of tha largest works here yestorduy disoharged all their fomale hielp. 'The Tetail stores of the city, Jurge and smull, axe crowded daily, und the appenrance fs that business is ns brisk as over, but the re- tnilers uny that tho purchmses sre very light compured with pust falls, Mony ave looking, they say, but fow are buying.

We repeatedly hanr of colloctors going out with bills for geveral thousand dolinrs, aud re- Jurning with only bundreds, though the paper is againet woll-cstablished concerns who are knowa to be subptuntial. TIE OUTTOOK, The situation in the dry-goods trade may bo put In this way : There are no sigus of disas- trous flunnclnf cmbarrngsment in any of the concoras hore, though some are mndoubtoedly in uncomfortubie straits ; and thero is a fair pros- pect that all ean pull through without sorious dotriont if the “ good timoe cawming " comes beforn'mnany months, If any concorns do ap- pour before the public embarrassed, it will bo found that {hey have divided thefr caplial with othor enterprites, and that they have not con- fluod their oporaitons solely to” their legitimate home business.

A similar Jettor has beon ad- dressed to mo by one of the ablest nnd moat rovored of the English Bishops on this conti- nont. + Of course, among porsona outside our branch of tho Church, and cven among some of thoss within it, thero are a plenty of mistakes nnd misapprehonsions.

Nothing of the eort was intonded or deslrod.

Aud ho forwarded & copy of thoe lot- ter to tho Archibishop, beeauso ho thought that in such o caso—n caso in which ho bhad stated .to on.

As to the * procodent for the Donn of Cantor- bury,” which is supposcd to bave been snpplicd by Dean Alford at Borlin, it is obvious to remark that if an act bo wrong no précodent, no numbor of precedonts, can malo 1t right. And it is equally obvious that tho eccentricitics of in- dividuals, howeyer numerous, however oxcollent ‘or.elevated in station, are of no forco to impair \ tho ruthorily of principlos and lawa which are as old s the Obristlan Chureh, which are divine, . Besidos the case of Dean Alford can hardly bo o precedent for tha cago of the present Dean of Conterbury, for in one important respect thoy aro not paraliel. Dean ord . did indoed ‘ox- ercise his ministry at Berlin in a way not oasy toba reconciled with his ordinntion vows, and Bo far tho cnscs aro perallel. — Dub "Dean Alford did not carry his_irrogularities into the dioceso of a sister church, in disrogard of that woll-known order of that Church, irregularitios which, in form, if not in intention, would have been a discourtesy toward tho Bishop of thab -dioceso. At Borlin thore was no sister Church in'‘communion with the Anglaican Church, and consequently no injury to auy sach church, Tho caso of the Dean of Canterbury in the City of Now York was & very differont one. Ido uot wish to dwell upon it; but I am not in tho loast surprised that Bishop Tozor folt constrained to digavow all sympathy with it; and I think he ‘need foel no‘concern ot tho way in which ho has been assailed (ot in Your papor, but in other quarters) for hia manly lotter—= lottor which itis well known first found its way into print, not by dosign, but by accidout. : ) Itis & pity that amiable and impulsivo move- monts towsrd what i3 called ‘umty should so often bogin and ond in undutifulucss toward one’s own spiritual houseliold, ' For myself, I honor and eateom Chrigtian people wherever I moet them.
