BROWN, THE TEXIAN PRISONER?
BRAXORU.{TfXM.) Feb. 22. 1837-
To (h« Kditorqf tht Uallimorc Patriot.
Sir—During my shot: sojourn in this place
have had the Itigli grant iti atian of becoming
ultimately acq'nliitc I with Mr. Reuben 11.
Brown, one ni the Texian prisoners who cr
c»pe<i from Mata mores, Mex co, in December
last, ami of having from known lipe n recital
«U' some of I lie perils he encountered. The
pleasure 1 received was greatly enhanced by
the unaffected modesty with which this voting
gentleman made tv.s communications to me.
lie i« by no means a trumpeter of his own
tame. On lliecoiitary, 1 dare aaserl that you
might associate with him a month without
receiving from him any intimation of the
heroism he has evinced in battel, or the for
titode with which he has evinced in battle, nr
the fortitude wiili w hich he has endured the
most biller calamities. The tacts I have ob
tained from him were elicited only by my di
rect inquiries; and though he readily gave me,
in (ho most polite manner, any information I
asked, yet 1 doubt whether he would have
done so had lie known that I intended to make
a publication. I think, however, that a minute
account ol the pctilshc experienced in the
cause of liberty ought to be given.—lt will be
I nothing more than justice to himsclt, it will bo
*- interesting to your readers; and it may be sor-
viceable to Texas, by exciting others to es
pouse a cause which his already g von rise to
deads of valor worthy of the best days ol Sparta
I have met with several gentlemen in lints
country whoknew Mr. B. in tho United Slates,
and their accounts only strengthen my admi
ration of Ins character. He was born and
raised near Columbus, Georgia, where his fa
ther still resides He is represented as not
only possessing superior courage and forti
tude, and uncommon physical powers, and as
to all athletic sports, all efforts of manly
strength or activity, lie is said to have few
equals and perhaps no superiors.
When the small parly of Tnxians under
Johnson was defeated at San Patricio, (winch
event occurred on the 29th February, 1830.)
Air. Brown was about 75 miles from that
?lace, reconnoitring tho country along tho
lio Grande. He was in company with Dr.
Grant, and his party of2o men. Tho whole
parly, 27 in all, advanced towards San Palri
veto without knowing anything of ihcdisaslcrs
•of the 28th, or that the enemy were in their
inetghborhood. The Mexicans, however, hear
dng of their approach, were placed in ambns
•cade eight miles from San Patricio. When
■they came up, Brown and Grant, who wore
riding a short distance ahead of the men, were
suffered to pass unmolested, but ns soon ns
the others reached the ambuscade, the enemy
fired upon them. Brown and Grant imme
diately whcele I their horses, and there, sur
rounded by hundreds, this little band (ought
with desperation, never thinking of a retreat
until 26 as their number were massacred.
The remaining two, one the subject of this
epistle, and the other tho commander of the
party, attempted to escape; but they were
surrounded by such numbers ns made it a hope
less effort. Tho gallant Doctor soon fell, the
Mexican officers running their swords even
through hi* dead body ; and now the undaunt
ed Brown was left alone, lie had no other
weapons than his gun and pistols, and with
these he kilod eight or nine; but it was a
great inconvenience that ho had to load while
riding. Ho told mo that if he hud only
had a sword, ho could have killed 50 or 60 in
his flight. At length he gained possession of
a lance, which he took from one of the enemy
after un arduous struggle, in which ho roceiv
•cd Irom the Mexican a severe wound in the
arm. Shot afler shot was fired at him, but
they touched hitnjnot; thrust after thrust was
made at him, with their lances ; but he parried
them all; and wo to the temerity of that Mexi
can who dared to come into close quarters
with him. He threw his pistol in the lace of
one who was riding near him, and he thinks it
killed him, fur his head seemed to bo split
flpen by the force with which it was driven.
Others he knocked oft’ their horses with the
<iu(t cf his gun. Despair, in short, seemed
to have given him strength even more than
oirdmay. He expected every moment to die,
And be was determined to slay as many of
■them as .possible during the tew moments lie
■survived.
Tho Meeieans, finding every effort to kill
■orcapture hits unsuccessful, adopted a plan
*o take butt, which common as it may be with
(them, caiKjut tut, excite a smile with the A
mcrican reader. This plan was to throw
overver him a famous rope, the rauriat, which
you arc awire they handle with astonishing
.dexterity in the chase. With these ropes
it hoy at length secured the intrepid Brown;
hut the merciless cowards continued, even af
ter he was tied,to annoy him with theii lan
ces. and would probably have butchered him
had out an officer come up aud ordered theiA
to spare his life.
He was taken to Mutamoras and aiming
•other hardships h« was ordered to sweep the
streets oft ecily. When ho t»jk the broom
in his hand lie had a violent struggle with his
feeling*. After n long deliberation with him
self he determined with great reluctance, to
submit to the indignity.
There were twelve or fifteen Texans, in atf,
«t Mataiuorss. With two of these, by the
name of McNealy, Mr. Brown concerted a
plan of escajie. To effect their purpose, they
employed as a guide an Englishman living in
the city, to whom they paid a handsome sum.
This Englishman at their expense, procured
tour good horses, and made ail other prepara
tions, and the (our, armed each with a gun
and pistol, sallied from the city while the
guard was asleep, on the night of the Bih of
December. Thus, Mr. Brown was, after n
captivity of nearly ten months, again out of
their hands, though not without some fears of
being again taken.
To avoid the guards stationed along the
beaten track, they kept up the Rio Grande,
without crossing. At ato in 150 miles from
Matamiraslhe guide wished to cull on one
or two trusty acquaintances. They passed
• tills town in the night, the prisoners hurrying
on, and the guide overtaking them a short
distunes beyond the town. Thirty miles a
bove thi* place they determined to cross the
river. Here they wore overtaken by a rider
who had been despatched by their friends at
the town they Had passed through, informing
them that two hundred Mexicans had arrived
nt the town in pursuit of them, and were mak- j
ing inquiries respecting the Euglisnman. The
poor fugitives peceived the dreadful necessity
of crossing without delay, but they almost de
spaired of effecting it. The current was
etrong, the wind blowing fresh, the waves
high, and there was no boat.
True, there was a canoe on the opposite bank,
and it seemed like certain death to attempt to
-swim to it, for besides all other difficulties, it was
exceedingly cold, below (reeling point, Mr.
Brown was the only one that could swim, and,
though a good swimmer, he said if he had had
ten thousand dollars, he would have given it all;
(lit could have relieved him from the necossity'of
attempting the stream. He did attempt it, how.
ever, and aflar incredible snuggles, reached the
opposite shore two miles below. Having gained
the canoe, he found nothing to propel it with
but an awkward pole, and as the water was too
deep to use Ibis any other way than as a paddle,
he was carried down two miles and a half in cross,
ing. His companions, together with the horses,
ind dropped down to the place of his landing;
but. on reaching the shore, he could hold out no
longer. He was so benumsd, to fatigued, and 1
suppose to agitated in mind, that he became deaf,
turned blaet in the face, and presently became
wholly insensible, in whUli situation he remain
ed throe hours, in the mean time his comrades
placed him in the canoe, and letting the horses
swim attached to the canoe, iboy arrived in safety
on the eastern bank of the Rio Grande, hoofing
iwten doteified sis hour- it. cficetuig this perilous
Thej fsre now one hundred and eight milis
ruin Mit amor st, kul no nearer to Texts than
when they started. They were, however, Ices ap
prehensive of I icing taken, and ventured, after »
B j While, to kill a beef, of which, I presume, they
ft | ate with eonvblerable voracity, for they had fasted
~! four days and four nights, hating eat nothing
i-; since their escape. They reached Victoria, the
r ; first place where they met with any Texians, in
il ; seventeen days, rejoicing beyond measure lo grasp
p j again the hands ol freemen, who could applaud
v the valiant, and sympathise with the distressed.
j Mr. Brown during his captivity, was plundered
j of every tiling valuable about him, consisting of
, a considerable sum of money, » splendid gold
„ wairh. Sic ; none of which w»s returned lo him.
t He has indeed done and suffered much for Texas,
p and ha will doubtless bo remembered with some
v substantial marks of gratitude.
When 1 see a young gentleman—the son of a
r Southern planter—thus leaving the romforla of
home—braving the most unequal of contests—
submitting to indignities frnm Ilia minions of a
tyrant —and risking his life in many instances to
save his comrades and when I see him still roa
' dy, as he now is, lo march at the first intelligence
e ot an invasion—when I see all this, and sec il too
* adorned with so much genuine modesty as Mr. B.
C possesses, I ran only say that the strongest tribute
e which my feeble pen is capable ofbestowing, can
but poorly express tny admiration.

* Tho Hon. Abbot Lawrisncb, lain Repre
-1 senteiue in Congress from the city of Boston,
* i having recivnrl on invitation to a public din
b 1 nor from » number of hi* constituents, in les
j I tummy of respect for hm character and public
services, has declined the honor tendered to
' I him in the following letter:
Boston March 25,1637.
‘ | Gentlemen: Your letter ofihe 22d inst.
1 I received last evening inviting mo in behalf
* ol a number of my late constituent*, to accept
T of a public dinner, which you have been pleas
ed to say is tendered lo me as a testimony of
r respect for my private, and an approval ot my
1 public character.
> This unexpected demonstration of esteem
and confidence, coming from those, with ma
! ny of whom 1 have been associated for year*,
' oven from ihr day that I first entered this city,
■ a poor unknown and friendless boy, fills nm
' with the deepest sensibility, and demands.my
1 most grateful and profound acknowledgments.
r When 1 accepted tho high and important
trust of representing this district in Congress,
I well knew tho responsibility I had assumed,
and did not. take it upon myself without much
solicitude, distrusting my ability to fulfil tho
1 resonablo expectations of my friends.
1 1 felt that great indulgence would be ex
tended to mo in consequence of my entire
want of experience, never having before been
a member of a 4 logislativo body; hut Icmild not
forget tho distinguished individuals who had
' preceded me, all ol’lhetn eminent for their tal
ents, acquirements, and practical information.
1 These considerations increased the weght
! of responsibility which already oppressed
1 me; I took my seat in Congress with a full
‘ knowledge jof my deficiencies, but with a
: feeling of patriotic devotion lo the public in
-1 (crests, which I fondly hoped would sustain
me,not only in tho House, but with my consti
tuents and the country.
If tho trust confided tome by the people
of this district has been discharged to their
satisfaction, it is the highest reward than can
be conferred upon me.
In tho discharge of my public duties, il has
been my fate to entertain opinions differing
from those of tho lute Executive and a major
ity of Congresss, and in speaking of some of
the measures of the late Administration, I beg
1 to he understood as meaning no personal disre
spect to General Jackson or any other indi
vidual; ! shall.brieflylcommont.upon measures,
and not men.
! 1 have always kept in view in legislation
those principles which would carry home lo
1 the many the greatest amount of prosperity
1 and happiness, believing that tho few can
■ always take care of themselves. Who are
: tho many? Are they not the farmers, meeha
nics, traders, and laborers I And who, arc the
1 few? Are they not the money holders and the
> money lenders of the country’ The latter
1 class can transfer their persons and properly
lo any given place in or out of tho country,
having the means always about them to do so.
It. is’ncL the case with the former class ; a
farmer can not remove his farm nor the me
chanic his shop; Ihe wealth of the country
is founded in its labor, and, In giving security
to the labor, we protect the property of tho
whole country.
A system o( measures has been recom
mended by the late Executive, and some of
them adopted, which are now in a course of
development, that will tend to place an undue
proportion of the propeily of tho country in
the hands of overgown capitalists, at the ex
pense ofllie oilier classes of society.
The present slate of the currency is a per
fect illustration of this position, and tho que<-
Hon now is, what liavo been tho causes of
its deranged state throughout the Union
Thera are d.fferent opinions in regard to tho
causes, but no.’o gs to the effects.
Tho most re&sonsable explanation may
perhaps bo found in a senes of measures,
commencing with Gen. Jackson’s veto of the
charter ot tho Bank of tho United Slates in
followed by a removal of tho public
money in I83;i. . , „ ,
The moment t.'.o charter of tho Bank
oftho United Slates wa& vetoed, an expecta
tion prevailed that it would ho I'ircea to wind
up its concerns on the 4th of March, 1930 ;
and a large number of banks were chartered
in several of the Stales. In October
1833, the public deposits were removed, alu *
placed, if my memory serves me, as soon a* 5
it could conveniently be done, in thirty-six
banks, over which the Government had not
the least control, and all acting independently
of each other.
Wlnle they remained in the Bank of the
United Slates, they were employed through
out the country for legitimate commercial pur
poses; but when they were placed in these
thirty-six independent institutions, a large 1
amount ofllie Government money took a new '
direction; it was completely withdrawn from '
the regular channels of trade, causing a great '
scarcity, which stimulated the chartering by
the States of more banks in 1831. This, to
| gether with an intimation from the Executive
; tout we must have a metallic currency .caused
heavy loans to be negotiated abroad by some
of the doposite banks, and specie was brought I
into the country from England and elsewhere, I
when it is believed that we were indebted
largely to Europe.
The new banks made largo issues of paper,
(notwithstanding the metallic currency,) the 1
prices of every thing that is bought anil sold 1
continued to rise, aud in 1835 and 1836 more
banks wore chartered, and some very largo
ones, by the Stales ; State loans to a great
amount were negotiated in Europe ; private
I credit pledged for money abroad, to an unex
■ an)|.lcd extent; bills drawn on one banker to
pay anotlior, till England has become surfeit- (
ed with American securities, both public and ,
private. During Hie last two or thiee years „
the public lands have attracted particular at- ,
i tuuiioiq between twenty and thirty millions •
of dollars wore realized from this source alone ]
* the last year; the internal improvements i
. ofllie country have gone forward with ast-in- '
! ishing rapidity ; the produce oftho soil, lands, i
1 merchandise, in fact, every thing, has in- .
creased in value; fortune attar fortune lias <
been made without physical or mental'labor ; i
thousand of persons have left their regular
occupations to trade m something, and iner- -
chants, lawyers, doctors, judges, and legisla- 1
tors, have joined in the pursuit of weal,ln <
General Jacks hi promised us a better cur- 1
j reucy when he destroyed the United States 1
Bank and sternly refused to give us another, |
I When that institution was in full operation,
i I we had a currency equal loany the world ev- jl
•! cr witnessed ; its notes were at par in every '
1 part of the United States and in Canada and 1
' Nova Scotia. Money could be placed in
1 Nsw Orleans by persons residing in the At-
I (antic States at less than Ihe cost of insurance,
! ami there was no transporting of specie from ,
1 one end of the continent to the other, in com- !
J inon commercial transactions. What do we i
see now 1 The public money deposited in
i rigMy six Stale bunks; an increase of hank
j capital since Gen. Jackson’s veto of the Bank ,
. o' the U 8. of not less than two hundred and '
fifty millions ol dollars, and an increase of
bank notes m circulation of not less than
J eighty millions of dollars. It is said the busi
ness of the country has increased. We all
, know there is a great increase of population,
I sod. consequently, of business; but, has the
. legitimate business increased in proportion to
i the increase of bank capital and circulation I
i lias not the business been stimulated and
- carried far beyond it* natural growth by the
s aliment received from this eighty millions of
> paper ! We know what our condition was
• four years ago; perhaps it would be well to
» inquire what it is now. We have near one
1 hundred doposite banks, (acting without con
cert,) in which there must be at this time lo
the credit of the Treasurer of the United
States, and the disbursing officers of tho Gov
ernment, about fifty millions of dollars ; we
- have an increase of.State bank paper of eighty
, Billions of dollar*—an expansion which is
■ unnatural, and over which the General Gov
• eminent has no control.
: The inequality of tho currency is made ma
-1 nifost by lha demands of gold and silver in
some sections of the country for public dues,
while in others papers received in payment.
Wo arc largely indebted to Great Britain,
I Iho produce of our country falling in price
t abroad and at home, our exchanges all in dis
order, confidence impaired, and a probability
of considerable shipments of specie to pay
ibe balance* we owe abroad. The day of
contraction has arrived, and a revolution is to
take place in the business of tbe country.
The causes of the groat speculations in
lands, and the overtrading in other brandies
of business, may be attributed lo tho immo
derate expansion of banks notes, and the for
cing of specie into tho country contrary to
natural laws that govern trade. It has been
shown that ibis increase of bank capita! and
bank paper was produced by the action oftho
Executive and by legislation. The promised
currency has never been realized, and that
class of persons who were assured by Gene
ral Jackson that they should derive important
advantages by his new system arc to be suf
ferers.
There is one class of men who have been,
and are gathering a golden harvest from his
experiments upon the currency; that, |ts, the
money lenders—the great capitalists of tho
country—the persons against whom these
measures were principally directed. The
equality which was to be produced has not
taken place. On tho other hand, human in
genuity could not have devised a scheme bet
tor calculated to satisfy the appetite of avarice
than the one now in operation. The labor of
tho country is eventually to suffer from the
determination of the Executive to carry into
effect this experiment upon the currency. It
is the many, and not the few, who arc to suf
fer. Time has revealed to us but a small
part oftho effects ofllie quackery which has
boon inflicted upon us by an interference with
one of the most difficult ami delicate subjects
that can be touched by the Executive hand.
We have twenty-six independent sovereign
ties, all having the power to create banks, and
those banks have power to issue notes, uncon
trolled by the General Government. How
long such a system can nr will be continued
must be left with the People to decide.

social aoß’s indicates the state of the public mind
on tbe continent. Regal assassins arc springing '
up in every part of France. When tbe frank and ,

tbe slate of society is bad. The throne of Louis f
Phillippe is not secure. In every part of France r ,
there are secret ideas and passions at work, that 1
will burst forth into revolution aud bloodshed one ®
of these days. The old Robinson taste of assess I 1
sinating kings and emperors, apjiears to be de

his hack turned to them during the whole of the

the games were played at the Chess Club. Rue

could exceed the enthusiasm of the spectators
when M. de Labourdonnais gave his last cheek

ever, any change must he for tho better. This

day can be known. It is hoped that it will close
less disastrously than tho last throe days have

tended.
Tho packet ship Independence, which was to
sail this morning, for Liverpool, is detained until
Monday, at tho request of the merchants, to ena

Messrs. S. & M. Allen have not suspended
payment, in the proper signification of the term.
Their own paper will be paid, but their stock en
gagements have necessarily been deferred. Ad

MONEY MARKET.
Saturday, April 8.
Matters arc not worse—nor are they better.
Stocks continue to fall—failures to take place—
and commercial securities to he less and less ne
gotiable. Yesterday a largo exchange house
stopped on its stock contracts, but continued its
operations in its exchange business. Wo allude
to S. &M. Allen, largely engaged in monied
operations. On the day before, the house of St.
John & 00., large dealers in southern exchanges
stopped, to which fact we alluded yesterday. It
is staled that they were only deficient on that
day, a beggarly S3OOO, which any friend could
have made up, but looking ahead, they saw in
surmountable difficulties before them, and hence
they thought it was the best way to come down at
once. At this moment they have # 150,000 in
specie, on its may here from the south, hut it was
not within their reach. Their liabilities aie
estimated at nearly the same amount as those es
tha Josephs—say five millions—probably they
ntay be three or four millions, with assets, too,
showing a surplus of more than a million. But
commercial securities, at this crisis, are of no
avail.
There is not near so much sympathy for the
house of St. John, as these was developed for tho
house of Joseph. This arises from the recollec
tion that Beers & St. John,during tho years 1833
and ’34, were counsellors and agents of the gov
ernment, in creating the first disturbances in the
money market by tho abrupt removal of tho de
posits. These, and such as these, are reaping
the fruits of their wise counsels.
The failure ot St. John & Co. carried with it
twelve or fifteen bouses in Pearl street and the
neighborhood. Wo do not publish the names
out°of delicacy to their larceraled feelings. This
hoJrsc was engaged in similar business to that of
the Josephs. They dealt largely in the southern
exchanges, and once prpfcssad to be able to reg
ulate them Without a National bank. A great
many old houses in Pearl street, who did not
burn with confidence towards tho Josephs, made
them agents in the collection of southern noles.
This business by this and lire other failures is now
neatly broken up.
The number of failures that have taken place
since the present crisis began is estimated as fol

This estimate is taten Horn full lists ol every
failure by name which are kept in almost every
private office in Wall Street, and almost by eve
ry private individual. It shows in a remarkable
degree the extent of the calamity, and the pro
gross of the disorder only for Now York. We
have not enumerated tho caaes m New Orleans,
in Philadelphia, in Richmond, in Mobile, in But
falo, or elsewhere, the accounts ol which arc com
ing to us by every mail. *
The first blow wa* struck by the failure of the
great cotton houses in New Oilcans. This car
ried away the Josephs—and the Josephs took
with them a large poilion of the dry goods and
commission dealers. Then came the excitement
and the relief, as it was called, from the United
States Bank, which appears only to have given
us case for a week or ten days—hardly so long.
With the present week the revolution again made
a fresh start, and since Monday probably two
thirds of the above failures took place, During
the whole week stocks have steadily declined
from two to five par cent per day. Yesterday the
U. S. Bank stood firm, but U. 8. Bank post notes
were selling at one per cent above tho nominal
par, which is equivalent to two and a half per ct.
per mouth. Commoicisl paper is unsaleable, os
usual. Fancy stocks are ten or twenty per cent
lower than ever they were. State Bank fell six
per cent at a single bound—being now quoted at
91. The large stock brokers are heavy lasers by
the reaction in the stock market —the loafers, droll
enough, arc the gainers. During the week,
probably 450 notes lay over and have been pro
tested at the different banks.
In the bank note circulation of other states,there
is yet a little doing. Several brokers and agents
advertise to redeem eastern and western paper
i money —but the quantity in circulation is not
large. Probably there is not $1,000,000 of New
! England hills in this neighborhood,
i Such is the history of yesterday. Now in this
. condition, is there any prospect of a change I
Wc will state the whole truth. There are three
| classes of opinions. Ist. One class are confident
i that we have seen the worst, and that from this
. week forward commercial affairs will mend.—
] They believe that the disorder has seen its worst,
t and that 150 failures throughout the country em
’ bracing $100,000,000, will be more likely to re
lieve the pressure than a financial measure of $5,
, 000,000 by Mr. Biddle. A 2d class state that
' wc have yetlo hear from England. They argue
e that the worst is yet to come. The vibrations
, between New Y ork and New Orleans produced
the present crisis. When they heard in New
t Orleans of the situation of New York, and in
New Yoik of the situation of New Oilcans, the
5 fury of the disorder increased in both cities.—
Now the question is, will a similar result follow
T in England when they hear of the recent even ts
p here I If the American houses in England can
stand the accounts going out to them from this
1 country, the crisis may have passed—if they can
, not stand it, we shall have fresh scenes of disas
tar in June. A3d class arc of opinion that the
’ action of the dislribution law which has partly
helped on the present crisis, will produce a simi
j lar effect in July, when preparation* have
t to be made to pay the third instalment to
the states. Thus we go. But wcmuch fear there
is yet difficulty before us. Men are beginning to
think that either the whole commercial interest
must (fail and suspend business—or the whole
banking interest stop specie payments. During
the last two days, the propriety of a general sus
. pension of specie payments is actually agued, and
( gravaly argued too,in the slreet.gOn this point wc
, dread to speak out what we hear. Il is certain
that since 1812, such a herricane has not swept
] over tommerce of the United Slates, we shall
. wait for the events of to day, before enlarging on
, a new and important view of the present crisis.
From tire New York Herald,
s MONEY MARKET.
! Sunday, April 9—l o’clock, P. M.
The money market on Saturday continued in
r the same unsettled, excitable condition. The
? high fever of the middle of tho week has subsided
I into something like “patience on a monument,
smiling at grief.” A considerable amount of
foreign remittances were made for the packets
which sail tomorrow—but there yet remains a
1 deficiency of several millions due abroad. Proba
! bly the whole amount icmilled did not exceed
f two millions of all kinds of bills, Canadian bills
! on England arc now coming into the market, at
v high prices. The times of 1813 are about revr
-3 ving. Tho United States Bank, Morris Canal,
e Manhattan and Bank of America, have all issued
0 securities to lake the place of the southern and
0 foreign exchange. Probably this movement will
save a million of specie for the present. All these
' post notes are sold at reasonable rates, except the
• Morris Canal, which does not command much
confidence in the market.
> In the stock market, the fluctuations were re
-1 markable. Several city ba.,k stocks have fallen
■ terribly during the week, and on Saturday they
■ stood us low as over, while several of the wtelch
■ ed fancy stocks rose Iroin 3to 5 per cent. The
1 Phoenix Bank stock a few months ago sold for
134—it is now down to par, or nearly; Stale
I Bank from 112 to 94 ; and Manhslten Bank, also
• down. The fall in the bank slocks arises from
• the probable apprehension of losses by the recent
■ failures. It is supposed that the Slate and Phce
-8 nix Bank will suffer deeply in southern oxchan
> ges returned, These two banks charged the ter
■ rible high and ruinous rales of exchange on the
south, and few pity their losses. By these fai
-1 lures probably $56(1,000, or more, have been lost
? to our banking institutions concerned in southern
• exchanges.
j New Orleans True American, April 8.
We have had another failurejfor a largo amount.
C The storm has not yet blown over. Report says
that tho Liverpool deputation has obtained a loan
I from the Bank of England of one and a half mil
lion sterling on condition of replacing it in spe
cie from America in 90 days. If this be true,
New York will be left in a bad way. A sudden
drain at this moment would be sure to suspend
specie payments. Exchange being at 112 looks
• a little squally. On the other hand some distrust
• is beginning to be manifested by some of the
■ banks here towards each other. Tho only way
! for the institutions of the city to keep up confi
-8 deuce is to sustain each other and do the paper
s of solvent people. It is utterly in vain to attempt
1 bolstering up the monopolists. This, they will
■ find out, il they persist. Money is becoming more
3 difficult to get every day, and as this difficulty in
-1 creases, prices must go down.
t Wc hear of a sale of 3348 bales of Louisiana
1 prime cotton at 18 1-2 cents on a long lime. Some
- other sale have transpired—but mostly small and
i at extremely low rales.

, From the New OrUans Bee, April 8.
REMARKS.
Affairs in general wear a very gloomy aspect, them
' seems to be a general want of confidence; business
f in every branch is extremely limited, the sales which
r are made continue to he in small quantities, and (or
, immediate wants, there are purchasers in market,
; both for their own account, and for orders, hut the
want of confidence is so great, together with the dif
ficulty of negotiating paperof any kind, that holders
arc unwi'ling to dispose of propeity excepting lor
3 cash. It is said that the banka have come to a reso
i jution to call in hut 10 per cent, of their loans, and it
. is thought by some, that things will not remain in sa
j bad a siate much longer.
On Wednesday advices were received from Liv
erpool and Havre to the 4th of J/arcli. There ap
-1 pears to he a further decline in the price of cotton m
■ Liverpool of id, and the market very unsettled.—
’, Tho Havre market was very inanimate, and in no
demand except for immediate wants of manufac-
I lure.
The tranactions as far as has como to ottr knowl
edge, amount to 11,432, which are as follows, to
• wit; 118 Miss, at 111 cts; 41 at 101;9a 91; 373 a9l
i 1228 a9; 900 a 8j; 902 a 84; 317 a8; 1109 prices
f not transpired; 62 Louisiana at 81; 4174 prices not
, transpired; 896 I'enn. a 8; 635 Alabama, 66 W.
. District, prices not transpired; 485 Mobile a9S; 137
, a 121.
We have not heard of any sales under 71 cents,
and those were probably among those of which wo
could not ascertain the price.

Cotton.—The market for this article, as well at j
for every thing else, is completely at a aland. We 1
can give no quotations, except for sale* of email par- 1
cels from wagons, which are forced upon the mar- 1
ket at fioipG to 11 cts. The planters are still slor-
ing, w aiting some change for the better, in which
antic ipation, we fear, they will be disappointed.

NEW YORK MARKET, APR 11. 8.
Coffee —.The co(Tee market lemama unusually : .
heavy, and price* liavc beromc rather unsteady.—
The sales have comprised 220 bags Brazil al lOi ; I
100 white Javi, 14; 3 a 300 Laguira, 11) 350 Cuba,
10 a 101 ; and 5 a 600 do at about 9 a 9i cents, cash.
By auction, 507 hags Java, damaged, 71 a 81 cts per
lb cash.
Cotton—During the past three days, the transac
tions have been generally at a farther reduction in
prices. The decline, however, may be noticed as
applying most particularly to the lower and medium ‘
qualities, the best description being more firmly held ;
the sales have included 300 bales Florida at 11a 141)
230 Mobile, 12 a 14; and 100 Uplands at 11 a 131 c.;
forming a total for the week of f ully 1750 bales. We
further reduce our quotations The arrivals have
been—From Pernambuco, 20; New Orleans, 271;
Mobile, 2101 ; Florida, 206; Georgia, 407 ; North
Cor,,linn, 160 ; total 3167 hales.
Flour mid Mtal —The Flout market continues ex
tremely inactive, and the sales of most descriptions
are so trifling as not to require detail. Wc farther
reduce our quotations for all kinds ; 500 bis. Ohio,
via New Orleans, sold at $3 a 9,25. Rye Flour has
declined largely ; a sale of 100 bis. Albany inspect
ed, was made yesterday at $5. cash. The market is
heavy for Corn Meal, and we reduce our rales
Provisions. —The demand for Reef and Pork
continues very limited, the sales being confined to
small parcels for ship stores and city use. Beef has
not varied ; but Pork, in consequence of large sup
plies, which have arrived, and are shortly expected
lias farther declined in value. Wo reduce Mess to
820 a 21,50; and Prime, sl7 a 18. The receipts of
Western Lard, via New Orleans, have been exce
sively heavy, and the price has declined still farther;
we quote 9 a 11 cents, embracing all descriptions,
we reduce our rate for Goshen Butter. Hams are
dull; and plenty at 12 a 13 cents ; sales of Bacon
sides at 12; and smoked Beef Hi al2 cents. The
latter article is scarce.
