Flour likewise on a very moderace demand, has brought somewhat better terms. We have nothing of importance to notice in other articles. Srate of Trape—Brapronp—Our market presents aheulthy aspect. We have bad a fair attendance of buy: ers, and’ tolerably extensive sales have taken place at steady prices There has neen a good home consumption and export inquiry fer yarns, and as an indication of a better state of trade, we may mention that operatives are demanding higher weges, which have, in many instances, been acceded to by masters. In wool no change is ap- parent. Noils and Brakes are in steady request. Hupoersrietp—Oaly a limited amount of business has been done in our market of late, but we have no change in pricesto notice Of goods suitable for the winter trade the assortment is by no means extensive, and manuiac- turers appear very desirons of keeping down the stocks, So that there is no fear ot over production in thia quarter. Wool remains without alteration. Leeps —We are happy to anusunce a considerable im- provement in the busivess transacted at our cloth halls this week; goods sustabe for the winter trade, such as beavers, pilot cloths, and ivy tweeds, have been much noticed’ We have likewise to rport some amendment in the demand for cleakings in good styles, but there has been less done than for some weeks previous in fine and middie qualities of cloth. Inthe warehouses we e observed more briskneas, and should the forthcoming harvest prove a good one, there is every reason to antici pate 9 better autumn trade than has been experienced for some years past. Mancnester.—Last Tuesday’s market was dull fer Yarns owing in some degree to the non-arrivals of the Hamburg mail, and prices had a slight tendency to droop, particularly those descriptions suitable for the German trade; previously a decided improvement was apparent. At present many spinners are working under contract (and wili continue to do so for some time hence) for Rus- sia. For printing cloth we had a tolerably good demand and 27 inch 72 reed cloth, which had been for a long time much depressed, avd of which the manufacture has gradually diminished, brought rather higher prices. In owuer descriptions of goods enly a moderate amount of business was done at former prices. Some fears are enter tai.ed that manufacturers will again fall into the error of over production, and from the large number of factories in tuil work at present, there appears to be some just grounds for these apprehensions. Haver, July 1—Corrox.—The same depressed charac- ter in business, as noticed by me in last report, continued to prevail during the early part of last week. and an in. creaved desire ou the part of holders to realise promptly, created a down ward tendency in prices, wnich led to # slight depreciation. But the amended tenor of the ac- Counts subsequently reeeived from Liverpool having in- duced deaters to come freely into the market, the buying became very spirted, and the transactions have been daily to a large extent, at stiff rates, which have recovered the ground they had previously lost. The activity that has been displayed, and which bids fair at present to con tinue, has, nevertheless, not yet been attended with any imorevementio prices, but they have acquired a degree of fi'mness, which, aided by a progressive demand, can hardly fail vventually to create an amendment in our quo. tations This will however, be in some measure subor- dinate to the situation of the interior, the intelligence from whence is nor of an ealivening ch: ter, for although at the commencement of the season, trade, without being very brisk, was nevertheless profitable tothe manufactu Ter; the has been quite the revrese for some time past, and the ations that had been entertained of con: tinued prosperity in business have been far trom attaining reality, and the result at the close will, it isto be appre- hended, full considerably short of remuneration. Our latest adviees are by ihe Hibernia steamer from tte other side of the Atlantic, butthey contain nothing demanding particular attention. Our importations during the pst week were 5 956 bales; the sales, 10 288 hales; leaving the stock in hand at about 167,000 bales. Marsrities, July 22—The transactions in Rice have been Iimited. Io Cotton the sales have also proved small. a few parcels of Levant have changed hands, but nothing has taken place in United States or Egyptian sort Amstenp.M, July 25—The demand for Coffee ha! been entirely Confined to home consumption, o Cheriton has brought 29 to2I cents, end Su: sold at 14 to 16. has The advertised sutumn sales of fully 649,000 Lage have had no visible effect upon the state of Our market.

[eee Curious Catcu.ation in Diereticxs.—Some sin- gular genius writes to us as followe:— I have been married 32 years, during which time J have received from the hands of my wife three cups of coffee each day, two in the morning and one at might, making 35,040 cups of half a pint each, or nearly 70 barrels of 30 gullons each, weighing 17 520 Ibs., or nearly 9 tons weight. Yet for that period | have searcely varied myself in weight from 160. It will theretore be seen that] have drank in _coflee alone 218 times my own weight. I am not much of a meat eater, yet | presume | have con- sumed about 8 ounces a day,which makes 5,809 lbs., orabout ten oxen. Of flour J have consumed in the 32 years about 50 barrels. For 20 years of this time up to 1831, 1 have drank two wine glasses of brandy each day, making 900 quarts, The port wine, madeira, whiskey, punch, &., I am not able to count, but they are not large. In champagne I have been extremely moderate, as | find trom my bills that I have paid for 53 baskets in the Jast 13 years, which is about one bottle a week, and this not allconsumed by me When we take into the accouat all the vegetables in addition, such as po- taloes, peas, asparagus, strawberries, cherries, ap- pies, pears, peaches, raisins, &c., the amount ent sumed by an individual ts most enormous. Now my body has been renewed more than 4 umes in 82 yeasts, nod tuking tt for granted that the water, oj whret | bave draok much, acts merely ag a diluent, yet oll taken together, | conclude that I have con sumed in 82 years about the weight of 1,100 men of 16008 eaco! This is small, when compared to the gormandizers. tem Respice. Navy Oxpers —Commauaer 1. W. Freelon, to the New York yard; Commander J.

Miller, and Boatswain George Wilmuth. to the Savannah, 25h inst, New York, Sunday, August 20, 1843. Tus New Esa —We have long since said that we have no system of police by which protection can be afforded to the citizen, nor are our Courts £0 constituted as to afford redress for injuries which may be received, either in person or in 1eputation. Now the laws delays, and the evasion of a just re- tribution for outrages committed, may possibly lead to a refusal to recognize the judicial authorities and the constituted tribunals, Human endurance may be exhausted, and no adequated legal provi- sion being made for a redress of wrongs or pro- tection from aggression, her social prowess or deadly instruments, may take the place of courts, judges, and civil officers. How many recent instances have there been to show that we are inevitably hurtying to sucha state of society. The law has been invoked to protect the innocent and punish the guilty, and after long endurance, great sacrifices, and the solemn mockery of triale, the lawless aggressor remains unscathed to indulge in cruel mockery of the bootless invocation of the blind goddess by his victim. All this is calculated to produce a state of society deeply to be deplored, but itis one into which circumstances are hurrying us. Men with the power to avenge their wrongs will not incur fruit- lessly the expense,and endure unnecessarily the vex- ations of an appeal to the laws; and hence we are arrived ata new era of society when each man be- comes the avenger of his own injuries. We had an illustration in point yesterday. Thompson's Bank Note Reporter of the 19:h instant contained the following notice: ‘We have placed (p.) tothe Hamilton Bank in this Stat: This bank’s account with the Comptroller stands thus Notes issued... Secured hy N. ¥. stock. .... One bond and mortgage, on Br » From the fact, that the ym ptrolier never would grant but $3 200 on this mortgage, we infer that it is doubtful in value or title. imation, Yolawes have been obtained rg ainst the bank, and injunctions served upon the Comp- troller, Lest. though not least, this bank is controlled by those who Slamm’d and Roger'd the Northampton Bank The Mr. Rogers here alluded to, instead of ap- pealing to the laws to correct the direct and insidi- ous libel thus published, called upon Mr. Thompson for an explanation, but we are told he received no satisfactory reply. Mr. Thompson, however, by some agency, found himself upon his back, and his eyes “pinked” most exquisitely. Whether Mr. Rogers was the immediate and active agent in the transaction is a matter for inference ; but this we know, that he voluntarily presented himself at the Police office to answer any charge that might be preferred against him, and as no accusation was made, he was allowed to depart. Thus we begin ; Justices are now voted obsolete, Recorders will become as graet novelties as Giraffes and to seek for recovery in a court of law, will be treated as an antique process which should be class- ed with high heeled shoes and hair powder. Tue Execrions.—From Tennessee we have com- plete returns, and the result is the triumphant elec- tion of Gov. Jones (Whig) by a majority of 4,204 votes. The following are the members of Congress elected :— ig Locofoeo. W.T. Senten, A carton D. W. Dicxinson, J.W Buackwet, JH. Perron, A. Cuttom, J.B. Asne, G. W Joxes, Mito Buoywr, A.V. Brown, Cave Jonson. Although the Whig candidate in the 3d district was defeated, the Whig majority for Governor in the district is 676 votes. In the State Legislature, the Senate stands 14 Whigs te 11 Locotocos, and the House of Representatives is composed of 40 Whigs and 35 Locofocos: making a majority of 8 on joint ballot, which of course secures the election of two Whig Senators in Congress. In Indiana the Whig candidate for the Governor- ship, appearsto have been defeated. Intwenty-four counties the gain of Whitcomb (L F.) over Bigger CW ) com-ared with the vote of 1840, is 5,118 votes The whigs have also Jost a majority of the Con- gressional Districts, but the Legislature is still involved in doubt. From Alabama we learn that in the first Congressional District all the returns have been received. The result is the election of Dellett (W ) by a majority of 92. In the second district the few returns received are so favorable to Belser (L. F ) that there is little doubt of his success. In the third district Lea (W.) has made a run against Dixon H Lewis, beating him 77 votes in his own county. Lewis, however, hada majority of 500 in Coosa county, which doubtless secures his election. Only one precinct in Greene county, in the fourth district had been heard from. No returas from the remaining two districts. For the Legislature, the returns as far as received show the election of 14 Whigs and 13 Locofocos—last year the same coun- ties stood 13 Whigs and 14 Locos. Whig gain one. The Locofoco mojority in the Legislature last year was 34 The Louisville Journal says the delegation in Congress from Kentucky will be as follows:—Whigs John White, Garret Davis, Willis Green, W. P Thompson, and Grider—5. Locofocos—J. W. Tibbatts, Judge French, L. Boyd, Stone, and Cald- well—5. The returns do not vary the result previously pub- lished ANoTHER Suockine Accent on A RattRoap.— The catalogue of crimes—tfor crimes they are—com? mitted on railroads, is daily increasing in magnitude, and yet they are passively observed and soon forgot- ten from the public mind, and the companies are permitted to sport on with human destiny. The last case which has come to our knowlzdge occur- red yesterday morning on the railroad near Plain- field, New Jersey. It is thus described ina com- munication:— “A mechanic named Staats, and who resided in Boundbrock, N. J., whilst riding in the cars near Plainfield, on Saturday morning, was instantly kill- ed by the rail running up through the bottom of the car, and thus pierced his throat, coming out at the back of the neck. The conductor who was sitting beside the unforturate young man at the time, sprang out of the way uninjured. The rails on this road are flit and should be fastened down similar to the Ph ladelphia road, by iron fastenings instead of spikes. Hau this been the case, the accident could not have occurred ” The criminal negligence which results fatally in so many instances should be treated as all jhomi- cides legally can be treated, and the Directors should atleast be indicted for manslaughter, and thus the question of the degree of criminality which attaches to them would be shown to the world. Many Rail- road Companies adopt a policy which should excite the indignant remonstrance of every man. They extort as large a sum from the travelling commun:- ty as can be extracted in the shape of fare and freight, and they conduct their lines with a parsimonious- ness which deprives the public of those safeguards which their jeopardized lives require. We trast an unsparing scrutiny will be instituted in this case by the coroner, who will be called upon to hold an in- quest on the unfortunate Staats. Whoever the coroner may be, his duty involves a great responsi- bility, which, forthe sake of the lives risked in the keeping of these Railroad Companies, we trust he will be ready to assume. Let him particularly en- quire whether a sufficient provision had been made py the Directors to preserve the road ina state of safety, and whether a sufficient number of men are employed to discover and to repair the damage which the line may sustain by ite daily use. Hf not, let them be held guilty of the blood of their victim, and for their criminal negligence let them be held amenable to the laws of their country. Wanton Attack on Puivate Cuaracrer.—An obscure, but libellous print in thiscity has made an attack onthe character and reputation of a gentle- man whose avocations confine him daily in. this of- fice, which, for the satistaction of his friends, it be- comes necessary to say, is entirely without founde- tion, as the subject of the libellous attack ‘was not at Hoboken, nor from his proper duties duging the day mentioned. the latest reports brought to us by the Hibernia,{rom Ireland, we find the following sums from America acknowledged as having come to the treasury of the Irish Repeal Association, by Mr. O'Connell: £20 from New Brunswick, £30 from New York, £100 from New Previdence, and £100 trom Albany.— The repeal r nt for that week was announced to be £2,198 193. 64d. The following extract from the proceedings of that meeting may also poasees an in- terest here :— Mr. O'Connell gave an account of the Tuam demon- stration, and then alluded to the assault onthe policeman at Abascragh. He had no stronger wey, he aaid, to mark abhorrence of the conduct of the people of Abescragh by striking it out of the map of Ireland, and hetrus ted tae Asseciation would agree with him to strike out of their enrollment the names of every inhabitant of Ahes- cragh, except the Catholic clergyman, who, unfortu. nately, was not in town at the time, or vent would not have occurred. Mr. O’Connell moved the following resolutions, which were separately put and curried :— That allthe:nhabitants of Ahascragh, whose names were enrolled in their books, should be struck out, ex- ba the Catholic ris grees # That no inhabitant of Ahascragh should be allowed to cae a if as a member or associate of the Associa- tion. “That it be required in all processions and public meet ings of Repealers thet the practice of erecting arches be abandoned in future That those resolutions should be transmitted tothe Rev. Mr. Macloghlen, with the ex, yn of the perfect eonviction of the Association, that, if he had been in the town, he would have prevented what occurred, and that their confidence in him was unbroken and entire. Mr. O'Connell begged to make the following report :— Lovat Nationat Rerrat Assoctation, Corn beige Pt Roums, Dublin, July 25, 1343. An account of all mvneys paid intothe Nauonal Re- peal Treasury, for the quarter ending 4th July. 1842, and the corresponding quarter, ending 3d July, 1843:— od. 1842—Received from 5th April to 4th July, in- clusive, 99 9 7 1813—Received from 4th April to 8d July, in- clusive, 16,798 Increase on the quarter, 14799 1 8 By order, '. M. RAY, Secretary. On Saturday next £10,000 of that wou!d be funded, and he would hand the scrip to Mr. Ray for £10,000. (Hear.) £1,000 had Deen already paid towards the building of the mew hall, and ther- were other expenses. Tue Penix Banx Triats—In the Weekly Herald of yesterday, we published the result of this long, exciting, and important case—the acquittal of Brown, and the disagreement of the jury on the criminality of Wyman, the jury standing seven for a conviction and five for an acquittal. Our readers were doubtless prepared for this result, for rare in- deed are the convictions of such gentry. The trial has, however, given an instructive exhibition to the world, which may increase the suspicion with which some banking establishments should be viewed, and for this service which Wyman has rendered, we implore the prosecuting attorney to nol, pros all remaining indictments against him. It for no other reason, he deserves clemency for proving by the lacrymose beach scene, that Bank Directors and their agents, have human sensibilities, however mawkish they may be when excited. Exursition ror Purrosgs oF BenkvoLENcE.—We learn that Mr. Coleman, the importer of splendid prints and books, No. 203 Broadway, will on Mon- day and Tuesday next, exhibit some extraordinary prints, which are imitations of paintings, for the benefit of the blind and the orphans. Many of these prints are got up for a Mexican General, and are intended tobe placed in the Castle. They are ina style which gives them the [appearance of oil paintings; but in their rich gilt frames they are more effective. Mr. Coleman has tendered the use of his large new store for the purpose of this exhibition, which will be under the management of the offi- cers of the New York Iastitution for the Blind; and while they afford gratification to the minds of visitors, through the eye, we hope the happiness of thoge who are sightless, and are thus deprived of the pleasures which an examination of such beauti- ful works of art wil furnish, willbe promoted by lange receipts from the exhibition. Cuetsea Recarra—Succrss or New Yorx Boats, —A regatta came off at Chelsea near Boston on Thursday last, at which, in several contests, boats from New York and New Jersey were triumphant. It was the second regatta there of the season, and the scene was more exciting, and the races better contested than on any previous occasion, in con- sequence of the presence cf the crack boats of New York, two of which had challenged the champion flags of Boston. In the first contest, the Wave from Jersey City did not enter, as she pulled only six oars, and therefore she entered in othe races with boats of her class. The Curtis Peck of New York, however, made a very conspicuous figure, and though unsucceesiul in the first race, was triumphant in the second with six oars. Of the second and third contests, a Boston paper says :— The second pul! (6 oare) was once round the course, and won by the New York boat Curtis Peek, in 18m. 303., against the new boat Pedestrian, and the Alert. Crew of the New York boat: Coxewain, Mr. Manuing ; oaremen, Messrs. C. Britten, J. Suy- dam, I. Suydam A, Suydam, J. Bevens, RK. Mu- cum, J. Oaners, J. Newcomb. The last was a four-oared pull. It was won by the Wave, of New Jersey, manned by a part of the Cur tis Peck’s crew, against the new iron boat, in just 16 minut! We understand that the Curtis Peck’s crew have challenged to pull Jakes any boat once round the flag at Chelsea, or five miles, for $500 or $1000 any day within a month. Rossery aNp Atremrt To Murper aT Bowrao —A most daring and deliberate attempt to murder was mude in Buffalo during the night of Wednes- day last, on board of the schooner Burcelona, lying in thatharbor. The sufferer’s name is John Scott, the mate of the Barcelona—and that of the robber, Edward Evans, the cook, a boy only 16 years old. Mr Scott |: jown for the night on the bow hatch, with his pantaloons on, having in his pocket about $80 in money, and Ev: aid down near him, on the deck, there being two of the crew who were asleep below. About 4o’clock in the morning, Scott found that he was bleeding very profusely from wounds in his head and face. He tried to cry out, but could make no one hear. He then crawled to the after hatch and alarmed his mess- mates below, who, upon coming on deck, found bim most sh ina oa They immediately gave information to the police, and called Dr. Wilcox, who dressed the wounds—about twelve in number, and some of them were verysevere The wounds are allon the face and the front part of the head; and the physician thinks that the patient may recover. He was sensible when his wounds were being dressed, and was able totalk. He said he telt what he sup- potes was the first blow, and endeavored to rise, but that he wasinstantly felled, and rendered sense less ; in which state he remained until about 4 0’- clock. The injuries were evidently made with an axe, as one was found on deck, covered with blooa andhair. The lite assassin, it appears, after ha ving rendered his victim senseless, robbed him of his money, and then very cooly went on shore, took his trunk, and walked deliberately through the streets towards Black Rock, where he staid about two hours, exchanging $27 Canada money for current, and talking with several persons as cooly as il nothing had happened. He was arrested by cont ble Coveney, near Tonawanda, on board of a canal boat, bound east, and br ught back to the city with the money stil] im his possession Scott, we learn, is a single man, and has no friends in this vicinity. —Buffalo Daily Gaz. Extra. A Monstrous Necro —We find in the Louisville Daily Advertiser, the following curious account of @ giant negro. ‘i “Died, yesterday morning, at the Exchange Ho- tel, in this city, a negro boy, the, property, ot Mr. Andrew H. Jordan, of Columbus, Mississippi. We isited him after he was shrouded, in company with his master, trom whom we received the following remarkable details concerning him. He was four ears old in April last, and four feetone inch in Reighth; was born in Mississippi of parents in no re- spect remarkable for any deviation from the ordina- ty size and temperament of their respective sexes— aothing unusual in person or mind, di tinguished him, until he completed his first year; when he be- gan developing in a manner that excited the as tonishment of all who saw him. His hair grew with surprising rapidity over his enure bovy and face, giving him whiskers and beard, as luxuriant a8 an adult. Hisbody assumed the muscular develope- meats of athletic manhood, his strength enabling him at four years of age, to lift 200 pounds dead weight, with ease. Hismind was clear and striking: ly vigorous, and his character distinguished for in. tegrity and generosi We examined his corpse, and were astonished at the symmetry and enormour strength of his proportions. A_ grenadier might have envied the fullness of his whiskers on cheek and chin, and a demagogue consented tobe honest with the ingenuous expression of his countenance. Hie hands and feet were more taper and symmetrical thanany of his race we ever saw. [fe fell a victim t+ pleurisy, and the eminent medical aid called in to his relief, were fully persuaded of the accuracy of Mr. Jordan’s statement of his age. ‘American ContnipuTions To IRisit RerzaL.—By | Concord, Mass, [Correspondence of the Herald.] Coxcorp, Mass., Aug. 18, 63 A. M , 1843. Farce in Finance— Tears and Treasury Notes— Phenix Bank and Phillips’ Beach. Thave just time to write what follows. The great financial farce in this town is over, and Wyman, the Phenix Bank Presidest, 1s virtually acquitted. The jury came in last evening, after an absence of about six hours, and informed the court that they could not agree. It is said that seven were for conviction and five for acquittal. They were thereupon discharged and sent to their homes. Brown, the Cashier, was acquitted. ‘What a perpect farce in finance this bank trial has been. Here is a case where the most} gross fraud has been practiced—where hundreds have been shamefully plundered of every dollar they possessed —where the widow and the orphan have been out rageously robbed and thrown pennyless upon this wide and wicked world; yet no one is punished ,and no one 1s ever uikely: to be punished for this high crime. It really makes one mourn over the depra- vity of human nature—it if tears enough to our eyes to have a far different and even more powerful effect upon all remaining Bank Presidents, than the tears shed by Skinner on Phillip’s Beach had upon Wyman, the great-escaped. ‘at as the trial has ended in a farce, we puppose we must wipe away our tears, laugh over the folly of mankind and quietly wait for further novelties.— We feel assured that we shall not long be kept in suspense. All we can do to-day, however, t wonder at the past, take care of the presen! let the future produce whatever it ple: the rare and attractive line. We mustdo as the sailor did when blown up by the accidental ex- plosion at a magician’s exhibition. Finding himself uninjured, though he had been thrown some fifty feet into the air, and landed some dis- tance trom the scene of disaster, he exclaimed— ** Well, { wonder what he will do next !” To be serious, however, fora moment. Very few are ustonished at the result of the trial. Notwith- standing the evidence given in Court, and the charge ot Judge Allen was decidedly against Wy- man, yet few expected a conviction. My time is up. The stage 1s at the hotel door, on the point of starting. ours, H. Lake Mahopack. [Correspondence of the Herald.] Laxe Maunorack, Aug. 13, 1843. Nature’s Loveliness— Lake Mahopock—its Beauties —the Landlords—the Company, but especially the Ladies. Believing that the sayings and doings at no place of fashionable resort in our State is at the present more worthy of a passing notice in your columns, Ihave hermetized myself for afew moments to give you a faint idea of this romantic spot, its ma- ny charms, natural and artificial, and the many at- tractions which it presents to thoce who admire the lovely in nature. The Lake itself is a sheet of the clearest water—a perfect crystal stream—nine miles in circumference, studded with islands, all of une- qualled beauty, many with every requisite to subli- mity. The margin of the lake is lined with some farm-houses ot wealthy and hospitable owners ; the green of the rising fields is of the richest hue, and the fragrance ot the growing crops gives delight to the olfactory senses of woman, manand beast. The lake is imbedded in mountains towering to the heavens— “ Whence birds sing prans to the source of light.” The roads are kept in excelleni order, and the rides many and most beautiful. The hotels, kept py Messrs. Monk and Crane, and the private residence of Mr, Berry, who always has an _‘‘ open door” tor his triends—furnish all the comforts and luxuries that the most epicurean could desire. Monk is an original sui generisthe only animal of the kind, they say, that was ever caught. His jolly “How d’ ye do?” rings a merry welcome to every comer ; his cool yet bustling manner, and his witty sayings, give occasion for many a joyous laugh, and the pertect indiflerence with which he yields to his visitors the dominion over his household arrange- ments, is the most characteristic feature of this hos- pitable but eccentric landlord. Mr Crane is ever at his post—his element is the care of the ladies—stu- dious of the comfort of all, he is the beau ideal of a “landlord for the ladies.” He is always at table the Riosorciaee of the smiles and the occasion of gaiety to his fair guests, and even when “ morning gaily breaks,” it is with much reluctance that he leaves the society of hisjoyous company. Mr. Berry is a gentleman in his manners, without attempt at display—the charm of the little circle by which he is surrounded—ever ready to please,and best pleased himselt when those around him are made happy by his exertions—with a hand ever ready to serve, and with a kind and honest heart, such as man may well be proud to possess. Enough of the landlords Icould, you know, do no less, according to ecrip- ture—I believe it is—than “‘ praise the hand that feeds me.” _Many of the most respectable and wealthy of our citizens are here ; among them may I name without invidiou-nessto others, Prince John,Vaa Buren and tamily, his sister and her family, Mr.A. W. Spies and family, Rev. Mr. Morris and family, Mr. Brush and family, Mr. Nicholson and family, Mr. Blunt and family, Mr. Van Dyke and family, Comptroller Smith and family, Mr. Seguine and family, and many others. Of the ladies, we have a strong ar ray, both in numbers and-beauty.. Miss holds one of the first places in the kind regards of thelgentlemen—with a cultivated mind and en- gaging manners, she is destined to complete the happiness of some now forlornswain. MissG——h is ever ready to please, and succeeds to admiration ; with the sweetest voice, greatest good humor, an much dignity, she shines among the many fair vnes here—tor a ramble, a ride, a sail, or any like amuse~ ment, she is al d, and is the life of her company. Miss C——n is a pleasing and instruc- tive companion, and a young lady of considerable attractions. She does not enter with much spirit into the gaieties of the place, is rather sedate, but always eererenay) pleased at the light-heartedness of those around her Miss M——n, the daughter of a celebrated druggist, is nlp tia little lady, and what more could {say ? Of the gentlemen, I do not hope to speak dispassionately; they rival each other so much in their kind attentiens to the ladies, that it would be strange indeed, if, as to some of them, I did not entertain a little jealousy; but! will do my beet to praise them asthey deserve. Mr. E——, a member of our b: the constant com- panion of the la her in ill health, it is said. |e is commiserated by al! and admired by many—ill health cannot save him from their witchery, and if he escape with his life, my word tor it, that his heart is gone. He is a good oarsman, and his assis- tance 18 always needed in the arrangements for the aquatic excursions—is at home in the ball room, and nottout ot tune either in solo or in chorus. If he bein love, he need not say with Job, that ‘the thing which I feared is fallen upon me,” nor need he biush, for love makes blind, and “blind men never blush.” The Rev. Mr. P., isan agreeable companion, with liberal views and much learning, he is a great favorite with all. The Rev. Mr. M. is the lite of every company; the best humored, the wittiest, and the most gentlemanly pay him de- ference. Mr. S. though provided with a wife, could es eflect many a conquest here, both by his good looks and his gentlemanly address. Mr. N , though foiled in one attempt, may be “ of good cheer,” for the enconiums that I have heard the ladi upon him, should relieve him of any doubt 8 possessing the power_to captivi if he bends his stricken heartto it Mr. D. is always in good hu- mor, chiefly itis thought with himself, Sometimes you find him with the ladies, often solitary and alone; meet him where you will, and he greets you with good humor and does his best to please. What more would you have him do? Professor H——y spent some days with us, and left many who reapaot him aod who rejoice in his late good Tortene. ir. B—n has forgotion for a time the charms of Coke and Blackstone, to study these “ natural produc: tions,” in whom he will tind none of that deceit to which, in his profession, he is no stranger. It he -hould ask and be accepted, he need entertain no fear that the “statute of limitations,” or “of frauds,” will be interposed * to avoid the contract.” There is much more in him than the ladies imagine, #0 1 bid them beware of his technical manner of enga- ging their affections. I would speak of the married ladies if I dare, butI have a horror of husbands, and hope this will be my excuse for not part y naming them. Some are most beautiful and enga- ig. The young men are all in love, “One reels to this, another to that wall, It is the same error that deludes them all.” We have balls—routs—parties—singing, sailing and fishing excursions—riding—rambles—ba' hing—good feeling —long days full of pleasure—happiness beam- tng on the countenances of all—no stiffaees—no tor- mality or nonsense. And with this slight sketch, who cannot fancy how many other joys are ours in the smiles of the tair around us, “Where present sorrow’s banished fai Unclouded azure gilda the placid da: ay— Rover. (ic Those who desire to shave with ease and comfort, are directed to an advertisement in anoth- er column, of Phalon’s tuberose shaving cream. It is understood to be equal to the celebrated ambro- sialeream of Guerlain of Paris; but it is cold in quantities that double the pots of the French arti cle, and at three-eighths of the price. The native production must therefore take the place of the fo- reign article. City Intelligence. Oresine 4 Boannen’s Lerten—This offence of opening other men’s letters and prying into their secrets, is be- eoming quite a prevailing fashion, and will get some one imto an ugly scrape, as the law imposes a severe penalty onthe Paul Pry. Yesterday James Auld, of 93 Jobu street, made @ complaint against Mr. John Conroy, of 66 John street, at whose heuse he boarded, charging him with having opened a letter which was delivered into his hands by a boy from a Mr. Lowndes R. Gow, and with resealing it after becoming acquainted with its contents. Mr.Con. roy wea bailed in$300 to answer,and states a very supposa- ble story, that the boy gave the letter into his hand with out saying any thing, and supposing it was for himself, he, without‘looking at the superscription, broke open the seal, but on finding it wasa matter not relating to him or bis business, and that it was for Mr. Auld, he resealed it, placed it on the mantel piece, where Mr. A. found it. Mr. Conroy at once told him how the thing occurred, like an honest man, as he has always been considered, but no- thing woula satisfy th« tieved owner, but a criminal action. Mr.Conroy was bailed, without los#of time, by Mr. John Clark, on the corner of Duane and Washington streets. A Spriterut Waretcn.—An ill looking dutch fellow named John Vaber, had for some time past been endea voring to coax the widow Ufsa.lar Kuns,—whose auto- graph proves thatshe is a woman of peculiar endowments; —to become Mrs, Vaber, but finding ner inexorable, hi w furious, and yesterday, after first trying it hi ind vows ol love and constancy, he o! tl it by force of arms to bring bosom, but the « flect was not what he desired—so efte bout at fisti-cufts, and hair pulling, he ventedjhis spleen tatoes, which the widow had carefully cultivated, and had fondly hoped would have yielded a supply for the household for the season. The patch, on waich several bushels of white eyes were | aa he speedily uprooted and scattered in sad con- lusion to the four Mage of the lot. Mrs. Kuosafter many bitter tears had been shed, told her case to the ma- gistrates who locked Von Vaber up until the Recorder shall have decided whether he shall be useful to the State or the City. Tre Vacrant Act.— Yesterday a man named Andrew Ryan, offered for sale a pair of new water proof, double soled gentleman’s boots, of a very superior gualiy, for $2, and was detained by Mr. J. E. Staples, No. 116 Sixth Avenue, and sent to the upper police, where he was re- cognized by the Napoleon of thatottiee, as an eld peni- tentiary bird, which after eqiivocation, he acknowledged, and that he had but enjoyed his liberty since the 31st July last, andsince then lived as he best might, having no house or home, nor no ostensible business. Justice Tay- lor very properly committed him under the vagrant act for six months to his former quarters, where he will be made of some service to thecity. The boots can be had on proving property. Owner Founp.—The publication in yesterday’s Herald, of the detention of a supanset horse thief, at the upper lice, was the means of restoring to a hard working, in- justrious grocer, named Reuben Knapp, No. 500 Houston street, his horse and wagon, which had been driven oft by thethief John Hughes, from the corner of West and Fulton streets, while Mr. ‘Knapp was engaged in com. pleting his marketing. Mr. Knapp on reading the report and discription of the pro) repaired to the police ottice identified it as d_ made affidavit against the prisoner, who 8 held in custody fortrial, in default of bail in $500.

The Grand Jury of the August term hed found atrue bill against Rushworth for grand larceny. A Cup Surrocarep.—An inquest was held on the body of an infant colored child, aged about two months, named John E. Newell, at the corner of Seventh Avenue and 125th street. It apperred that the child while sleep- ing had by some means turned on its face, and in this po- sition was suffocated. The jury returned a verdict of ac- cidental suffocation. ed QG@- THE ATTRACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN Museum seem to be increasing every week.

The news from abroad has had but little effect on the stock market. The influence of foreign affairs has ceased to have any material influence upon American securities here. The New York market for stock is becoming in- dependant of that of Europe. Prices have not altered much. Stonington fell 1 percent, Farmers’Loan}. N- York }. Illinois }. Kentucky rose}. Ohio 68}. Del. & Hudson }. At the new Board there were sales of Government loan at 114f. We have again late accounts from England, and to the 4th inst. The news presents a continuanceof improve- ment in all that effects American interests. In the two weeks ending July 28, there were 65,000 bales of cotion sold at firmer and advancing prices. American Provi- sions had also improved in a most unprecedented msn- ner. Under the news head we have given a comparative table of prices of June 8 and August 3. Under increasing import it will be observed that the advance is enormous. Money continues as abundant as ever and all the great. manu acturing sections are improving in trade and acti vity. in London the discount house will generally not allow more than 1} percent on deposite. The Bullion in the Bank continues to accumulate to adegree which re- moves all fears of a serieus drain, evenif 4 to £5,000,000 should be exported for corn. Indeod some depletion ef the coin held would be rather desirable than otherwise. The condition of the Bank was as follows :— Bank ¥ ExGLanp. ay25. = June 23.

Inthe same time the securities of the Bank havereduced by maturity £2,000,000. This state of things presents an exact paral. Jel to the New York Bank movements. The Meniteur publishes the oficial returns of the im- ports into France during the first six months of the pre- sent year, They show on the aggregate a marked im- provement. The cousumption of sugar has increased con- siderably, for, independently of the result as to the im ports, the stock on hand has much diminished. In May last, it was 43,000,000 of kilogrammes, including beet root sugar, whereas it is now little more than 30,000,000.— There is compared with the first half year of 1942, a considerable falling offin linen and linen threads, arising from the recent restrictions upon the imports of these ar- ticles. The imports of linens have fallen from 2,927,000 kilogrammes to 1,097,000, and of threads from 7,502,000 to 4,200,000. Tho total amount of duties received by the customs in the first half year of 1943, as compared with the correspanding period of 1842, is nearly 8,000,000. 88 “ity Bani Hi 40 Bank Com fall 9646 13 Delaware & Hud Co 104% 25 Farmers’ Loan, 23 13 Ohio Lite and Trust 83 farlem RR Co 28g 5000 do 38 1000 Ohio 6's, 1870 350 do 382 50 New Jersey cd 3000 Kentacky 6's 9000 do v7 , RR b30 977 10 Stonington R} 90) wo do 51 's. u 65 do iy 3000 Kentucky 5's 85% 50 Long Island RR. 5a New York Public Stock Exchange. $1000 Gov't 6's cash 114% 1000 do 510 90% 2000 New ‘e's 103, 4000 do 515 W% 2000 10234 5000 do bas 91 5000 nw 102% 4000 do 30 918g 5000 do b 3.102% 175 Harlem RR cash 38hy 2 00 Illinois 6's, 1960, cash 35%, 75 do 560 37% 1000 83:35%_ 50 do b10 30% 6000 Til do 38 1000 do 815 38hy 1000 do do snw 38%, 000 do 25 3575 50 do 38Ny 1000 Ind $ Bnds, 25 yssuw 33%, 75 do snw 385 1000 do cash 34 4 3 1000 do ba 4 bnw 38h 1000 do #530 33% nw 38%, 2000 do u cash 38% 2000 nw 4 cash 23 97% 25 0 830 22%, 337% 50 Long feland RR btw 52% 2000 2ds 97% 200 do 15 5274 2000 Ohio 6's 2° 9 do see Second Board, 25 Farmes’ Trust —b10 22%) 50 do. baw 377% 100 do 400 = do 53.37%, 25 Harlem RR bis 38 Died.
