NoTßvnlw I’riMCE*.—Ajdroll tdrentun
occurred to the emperor Alexander on thi
eve of one of the imperial reviews. The cm
peror was fond of walking about nlnno am
unattended, and he often extended Ins pedes
trian excursions to the distance of two o
three leagues from St. Petersburg)!. On tin
occasion here alluded to, ho had taken a verj
long walk, and finding himselt much fatigued
he got into one of the public sledges.
‘Drive to the Imperial palace at St. Peters
burgh,” sam lie to the iswotschilk (»ledg<
driver.)
“1 will take you as near to it as I can,” re
plied the man: “but the guards will not allow
us to approach the gates "
On arriving at a little distance of the pal
ace, the sledge slopped.
“We must not go any further, "said the slcdgt
driver.
The emperor jumped from the sledge say.
.ing, “Wait there, and I will send sonic one
to pay you.”
“ No, no,” replied the man, “that will not
do. Your comrades often ii a'se me the same
promises but they always forget to keep’it. 1
■will give no more credit. If you have not
.the money leave something with me until you
■get it.”
I*.The emperor smiled, and unfastning the
■ clasp of Ins cloak, he throw it into the sledge,
“Here said he, “take this.
On ascending to his apartments he directed
his valet-dc-chambcr to take fifty roubles to
the iswotschilk who bad brought linn, and get
back his cloak. When the valor reached the
spot where the emperor had left the sledge, he
■(bund about twenty drawn in a line.
Which of you drove the emperor!” inquir
ed t lie vales
No one answered.
“Who has got a cjoakl” said the valet, pur
suing his inquiry.
“An officer left, a cloak with me," exclaim
ed a sledge driver.
“Give it to me, and here is your faro.”
“Great St. Nicholas!” exclaimed the aston
ished driver, and seizing his reins, he drove
rapidly away amidst the shouts ol the assem
bled iswotschilks. This happened on the
eve of one of the grand reviews. After the
.troops had deliiles all the commanders of
-corps formed a groop round the emperor.
“Gentlemen,” said Alexander, “I am much
pleased with the fine appearance and ex
cellent (helpline of your troops. Hut 101 l your
officers from mo, that they last night made me
submit to the humiiation of leaving my cloak
in pledge for my honesty.” Every one stared
•with astonishment. “I assure you,” resum
ed the emperor, “ the sledge driver who
brought me home, refused to trust me because
„ho said my comrades often forgot to pay him.”

Short Chimney* ir, Tai.l Chimneys
A discovery has bcefi made in chimney build
ing, which is likely to put a stop to the build
ing of lofty pillars for tho purpose of carrying
away engine smoke from manufactories. The
only scientific reason assigned for building
these lady stalks is, that the increased height
gives an amazingly increased draught. But
it was found that a chimney of the ordinary
height, or at most sixty or seventy feet, which
is so constructed as to have the inside »f the
flue narrowest at the bottom, and gradually
widening as it ascends, has the effect ofin
creasing tho draught, and burning the smoke
in a much greater degree than a tall flue on
the old principle. A chimney built on tho
new principle has the appearance outward of
a tower, as it stands upon a large base, and
carries its width on the outside of the very lop.
The cost is not one-third of that of one oftlie
tallest chimney* and the danger from falling
is comparatively small. Messrs. Clarke,cot
ton spinner* in Glasgow, have completely
proved the superiority of the new system, hav
mg recently built • chimney on that principle
•bout seventy feet high. —Liverpool Marl.

NEARLY AN EXPLOSION.
We have ween for several Jays an allusion in
the papers lo the harmony of the new cabinet, its
unity, See. Without understanding it fully, we
4>prehcnded it foreboded something akin to a
rupture among the loving Democracy, oc had re
ference to a rupture which had already secured.
The New York Commercial Advertiser con
tains the particulars of the affair. The new Pre
sident, anxious to get rid of the members of the
old Cabinet, and lo appoint others more conge
nial to himself, and wanting the nerve to dismiss
them, has been seeking to compass his wishes, in
his usual way, by an indirection. Mr. Forsyth,
his premier, be has attempted to toll off by the
mission lo Austria ; —but being nearly as keen
a man as his master, he read through the whole
plot at first blush, and took fire at the indignity
offered him. He has made Van succumb fur the
time; but he is marked for ruin, and the first de
cent pretext will be seized to make him wslk
•balk.
Wo copy from tbe Advertiser:
“ It has been the well understoodintention of
Mr. Van Uurcn to bring Mr. Rives into the Cabi
net, as Secretary of Stale. But in order to ef
fect that arrangement harmoniously, Mr. Forsyth,
tbe present Secretary, must be satisfactorily pro
vided for—nothing less than a foreign mission,
of course. But whither should he be sent 1 A
gwtleaau lifting the post of first Minister of
w State, would not; of course accept of a minor ap
r« point merit, and all the majors were occupied by
>® those of the faithful whom it would not be safe lo
a- displace,
id The plan of a new diplomatic station at the
S- Court of Austria, was therefore hit upon, and the
or situation was tendered to Mr. Forsyth, on Thurs
-18 day last.—But the warm blood of the southron
ry rose at once to fever beat. He well understood
d, tbe design. Indignant that the principle of diplo
mat ostracism should in the first instance be
g. applied lo himself —more especially as the ban
jo ishment was to be at a third rate court —the Be
’ crelary look fire, and on Friday addressed a ca
u. valier note to “ Mr. Van Horen, President of
w the United Slates." resigning his office. He also
wrote an address to the people of Georgia, which
|. was placed in the hands of the editor of the
Globe, the types set, and the proof read and cor
rcclcil, for Saturday's paper,
1 " Alarmed at a rupture in his cabinet thus early
in his executive career, measures were adopted
’ by the President, on Friday, to prevent the ex
-0 plosion. It is understood, however, that the
resignation was withdrawn—at least for the pre
sent—and that the “ address to the people of
'? Georgia” was cancelled. Thus stood cabinet
* matters on Saturday. What the end will be, rc
mains to be seen. Meantime the indications are
lU that Mr. Van Buron will be the President him
self, and that the sway of the nether cabinet is
i® at an end. No man belter knows how the late
5. over-bearing executive, who governed the nation
with despotic sway, was himself governed, than
d Mr. Van Burcn, and thesame appliances, we are
o glad to believe, will, if attempted to ho exerted
it upon him, be exerted in vain. This is a favorable
C symptom, and if tho President thus bears him
-0 self, there is no hazard in the prediction, that his
first cabinet ‘unit” will be broken lo fragments,
long lieforc the year is out.”
Titles.— When it was proposed in Con
gress, at an early singe of our history, by one
of the Senators from Virginia, to give title*
to the two highest officers o{ our Government,
l * his colleague, Mr. Grayson, snggestod that
the President should ho styled “ His Limpid
Highness” and tho Vice President “His Su
'■ perfluous Excellency.” As Mr. Van Boren
0 seems disposed to introduce the establish
ments of the show and pageantry of the Court
* at which ho was a temporary resident, we
0 hope that Congress will take this subject of
* titles into serious consideration. The tißes
! above suggested would bo remarkably well
1 applied lo the present incumbents—“ His
■ Limpid Highness Martin Van Buron”—“ His
r Superfluous Excellency Richard M. Johnson.”
! What could be more perfectly descriptive of
j the two men?
BEHOLD i’HK MAN, ANiThEARKEN TO
i HIS CAUSE !
■ In the East Room paper, alias tho Globe ot
' the 30lh of October last, wc have the following
editorial article in relation to the deposito bill of
the session before vhc lust. Read it!
■ ‘ The present condition of tho money market
, did not arise during that “irresponsible power ov
. or the public treasury,” which has within the last
t three years been the subject of so much dcclama
, tion and abuse. No. Let it be remembered that
. the boasted deposits law originated by that pro
. found financier, Mr. Calhoun, and modified and
amended by Mr. Webster, lias taken this irrespon
sible power away from the Executive and from
Mr. Woodbury.
“Boon after the deposits law passed, we recol
lect that quite a difference occurred between the
Now York American and another Whig organ
—probably the Telegraph, which, in the fullness
of its rejoicing at tho passage of the law, filled
its columns with prransin praise of Mr. Calhoun,
by whoso unrivalled talents and sagacity this
wonderful bill was said to bo drawn up a curried
through Congress. This the American took in
dudgeon, and claimed ail the merit of the passage
of the bill fur Mr, Webstar and insisted that it
should be called ‘Mr. Webster’s bill.’
“By the time the measure has gone fully into
operation, we doubt wither the parasites of ei
ther Mr. Calhoun or Mr. Webster will ho quite
so ready to quarrel for the honor of carrying the
i hill. As to its operation upon the money market,
that waa distinctly foreseen ami pointed out by
some of the friends of the administration. JVo
man of ordinary foresight can be disappointed
at the ruinous consequences of withdrawing
fas by the late deposite act ia imperatively requir
ed) such largo sums of rneney frem their ordina
ry channels, first, merely lo place them at an
early day in other hanks, and next to place them
in oilier -States. This, it must be remembered,
is not a measure recommended either by the
President or by Mr. IVoodbury. Its passage
was regarded as an opposition triumph. Unless
wo are greatly deceived, the opposition are now
the most importunate for its modification.”
So, so. Now read the following extract frem
an editorial article in the same sliest of Friday
last:
“i it k D.tzosite Act,—We must warn our re
publican friends at a distance from the scene of
action, that there ia as radical a difference bo
tween the federalists and democrats in Congress,
on tho subject of the disposition of the surplus, as
there is on any of the great questions which dis
criminate (ho parlies. The deposite bill, plac

1 hua we have it; and thus hypocrisy, in a
napping hour, drop* the musk which has con
cealed the hideousness of its features. “The
boasted deposite law originated hy that profound
financier, Mr. Calhoun, and modified and amend
'd by Mr. Webster,” — “extolled by their para
sites"—a law,” (as the Royalist Evening Post
says) “deviser bt the ARISTOCRACY—

lifted hia disguise, and exposed Ida features to the
astounded damsel whom he had deceived and ru

man might well repeat.
Isfi-.SK Darkness —Ths streets of London,
on the 16th of January, were wrapped in thick
darkness. At one o’clock, P. M. it was difficult
to see one’s hand. A thief mol a gentleman
walking in the streets, snatched his hat frem his
head, and in a moment was lost in the surround
ing obscurity. Tho Standard says that this dark
ness did not rise from log, which is usually the
case, but was inavery respect similar to that of
midnight. Navigation upon the Thames was al
most totally suspended, and the drivers of the 1
different vehicles were exceedingly slow and cau
tious in passing through the streets. The various i
public establishments in the city were as com- i
pletely lighted up as when the pressure of husi- |
ness requires night attendance. A thick driz- I
zling of rain fell during the whole lime.
Steamboat Loafing. — A well dressed young
fellow was caught, on hoard the Philadelphia
steamboat Swan, in tho act of fflis-appropriating
• great coat belonging to a passenger named
Lewis O. Dodd. Being grabbed hy the (steward
with the garment upon his anus, the loafer de
clared he had mistook the cloak for his own; hut
lo his utter discomfiture in that ingenious work
of fiction, no coat could be found for which Mr.

was not to be rectified except by appearing at the

COCHRAN’S GUN TESTED IN A BAT
TLB WITH THE BEMINOI.ES, IN FLO- 1
RIDA BY CAPTAIN GORDON. i
New Yobk, March 17. 1837. I
Sir; Having had very ample opportunities of I
testing the very great superiorly of your “ Many 1
Chambered" gun. it affords me great plsasure to t
stale, for the public information, that I consider it ’
far superior lo any other now in use. Its peculiar 1
adaptation to the purpose of war, gives it just i
and strong claims to the patronage of the Gener- *
. *1 Government. Ido not hesitate to declare it
rs my firm and decided opinion, that one hun- t
- Jred men, armed with your gun, would lie equal,
I in point of efficacy, in battle, to one thousand
> armed with any other. Its superiority foxhunting
purposes is equally great, and cannot fail lose,
it cure for it the public favor.
c The astonishing capability of your gun to re
- sist dampness, or injury of its charge, when load
i ed, I consider of the greatest importance. A «c
--1 ry striking and satisfactory instance of this man
- Rested itself in the late battle with the Seminoles
j on Lake Monroe. Your gun hid at the time
• been loaded at least two weeks—had been taken
- out on one or more excursions, and exposed lo
- the dampness of the atmosphere, which in that
f country is very great, and such other causes as
j had made it necessary to discharge and re-load
i all or most ol the other arms similarly exposed,
c —yet, under these circumstances, without re
- loading, yours went off in every instance, (the
whole round of chamber,)as if recently charged.
1 r The simplicity of the machinery, and the great
I power with which it throws its balls, will justly
. enhance its estimation with all who will take th#
i trouble to examine and make trial of them.
In conclusion, I will repeat, that I hare no
f hesitation in giving it as my firm conviction that
t your’s is by far the most efficient fire-arm evo- of
. sered to tho public, and every way worthy of
a confidence and patronage.
. I am, Sir, very respectfully,
9 Your most ob’t humble serv’t,
B W. GORDON,
i Captain U. 8. Dragoons,

I CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
’ Monday evening, March 27,1837.
. By tho Express Mail yesterday and this morn
! ing, wc received New York dates of the 22d and
’ S3rd. There haa beer! another arrival at that
’ place from England, bringing Liverpool commer
[ cial dates to the 18th inclusive, and London to
. tho 17th. The news is still bad. The money
market tight, and cotton going down rapidly.
This news with that of the previous arrival from
i Havre, produced in New York a decline of 2to
p 4 cents in Cotton. What will bo the effect in
i this place is yet to bo ascertained, as few seem
willing to buy at any price. Those who pur
chase now, must do so for a declining market in
1 Europe, and of course without any knowledge of
• what will be the extent of that decline.
In the meantime failures arc taking place in N
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Mobile and New
Orleans, and every body seems to think that a
i crisis in money matters is rapidly approaching.
For eighteen months past the whole country has
been too rife with speculation in all kinds of pro
petty, while our government has been doing cv
cry thing it could to derange the currency. These
speculations have been in a great measure based
Upon the high price of Colton; this article is
now falling, and it ia feared that tho most deplo
rable consequences will follow.
We have seen a private letter from Now Orleans,
dale 19th, which states (hat tho new house esta
blished to liquidate tho nffiirs of Hermann, Briggs,
St Co., would be announced on tho 20th. Money
/natter* were very tight, and later news from New
York was anxiously awaited. Ths estimated re

more than last year more.

LATER FROM ENGLAND.
The London packet ship Westminster, Capt.
Moore, and the Liverpool packet ship North A
mcrica, Captain Hoxic, arrived last evening. Tho
editors of the New-York Daily Express have re
ceived London dates of the 17th and Liverpoolof
tho 18th February.
Thade tx Mabchestf.h—The pressure on the
monoy market, and the partial interruption of
confidence, causing a continued decline in the
price of cotton wool, lead lo a corresponding re
duction in tho prices of goods and yarns. It is
however, wc believe, known that there aro at
present large orders in the market for the latter ;
and consequently there is no general disposition
to submit lo any thing that may be culled a sacri
fice, so far as they are concerned. Tho market
for goods, too, is excepted t* become brisker as
the season advances; and manufacturers who can
afford to hold stocks, therefore abstain, in ths pre
sent slate of tho demand, from urging sales.
The Liverpool Courier of the 18th Fob. in its
article upon ths monetary affairs of England
•ays, in all our experience, wo never recollect
such a cloud to have rested on our Exchange—
trade to have received such a shock—commer
cial credit to have been at so low an ebb, Tho
•tale of things is, indeed, very (rightful. As yet
the actual failures have been but few—and it is
the opinion ot experienced men, that the crisis
would puss over without any, or, at all events,
many more following, if some step could bo de
vised to restore confidence. If government,
through the Bank of England, can do any thing
to effect so desirable an end they will make for
themselves sure and fast friends from one ex
tremity of the country to the other. It would
bo one thing, if mere adventurers were to bo suf
ferers by tins sudden transition from unrestricted
lo limited issues—but it is not so—men of real
wealth and tindoub ed means aro placed in jeo
pardy by what wo may call, tho nervous affection
which has seized upon the commercial world,
and put an end to all credit. An extended busi
ness cannot be called in and curtailed at a mo
ment's notice.

London, 17lh Feb. 1837.
I will give you an important piece of news.
The British Cabinet is now secretly negotiating
for the possession of the Island of Cuba. It
takes the form of a pledge or mortgage for four
millions sterling to be advanced to the present
government of Spain. I understand that Mr. (
Stevenson, your minister, intends to seek an in- ,
terview with Lord Palmerston on the subject.
It is now said that tho negociation has alarmed (
the French government, and that they intend to ,
abandon all their conquests in Africa in order to ,
remove any pretext in England lo take Cuba. ,
Th* advance on Constantins lias been counter
mended with this view. There is a rumor also \
in tho high diplomatic circles, that Lord Pal- (
merstoon intends to get Cuba as a check lo the
further advances of the United States upon Tex- ,
as and Mexico. Tho whole intrigue will be |
completed soon. I will write you again. Mr. ,
Fay and lady have recovered from the influenza. ,
Tbio Wliig Ministry is shaking. A crisis is at ,
hand.
Liverpool, Feb. 18.—We are happy to in
form our readers that the days of the present
ministry ate numbered. The discord which dis- j
tutbs the cabinet, promoted chiefly by Lord Mel
bourne and Lord John Russell, is, we are assu
ted, indescribable. The primicr will not toler
ate for a day longer the base surrender of the
whole patronage of Ireland into the hands of 1
O’Connell, and Lord John Protests that if he he 1
interfered with in the distribution of that patron- '
age, he for one will not remain in office.
In short, it has come to this; that the odminis- 1
nation is virtually dissolved ; and that tbe rejec
lion of the Irish Municipal Reform Dill by the . (
House of Lords will be made the excuse for their 1 1
retirement from cilice. Lord John Russell was ) i
anxious that Lord Melbourne should retire, leave ' ]
him unfettered, und that Lord Mulgrave should ! |
be made prime minister. This Lord Melbourne <
did not object to, but there were serious and in
surmountable objections in a high quarter. The
result is, that when Lord Melbourne retreats,
i which will be in a few weeks, Lord John Russell
i ami his colleagues must follow.
It is said on good authority that there will ho
i no dissolution of Parliament. There may not
l be immediately on the change of the ministry,
but a dissolution must be the result. — Mail.

1 niIUMSJTAItI PROCEKBINOS
, Numerous petitions were still coming in, from
all parts of the kingdom, for the abolition of
church rate).
1 On the 13th of February, in the House of
■ Lords, Lord Melbourne gave notice of a motion
i for a coram ttoe of inquiry into the state of edu
f cation in Inland.
On the (4th tho registration and marriage bill
was read a Trat time, The House adjourned to
the 16th.
On that lay, the same bill was read a second
lime. The day was principally occupied in the
rcceptionof petitions against church rales, many
■ of them from members of the established church,
i as well as from dissenlers.
In the commons, on the 10th, Mr. Hume intro
duced a bill fora reform in tho administration of
county finances, and in the appointment ot coun
-1 ty officers. A principal object is, to put an end
I to tho system of making clergymen magistrates.
i Lord John Russell and Mr, O’Connell supported
the bill, which was read a first time.
On the 13th, a petition was presented for an
inquiry into tho condition of the second order of
Catholic clergy in Ireland, from a priest who
■ complained of oppression by his diocesan:
Lord John Russell called attention to a recont
, decision by Lotd Denman, the operation of which
- would be to make the publication of papers by
• order of the House, a subject of action for libel.
His lordship also introduced a bill for tho in
, troduction of a poor law system in Ireland. He
considered the measure very important, as „
. means of preventing vagrancy, crime and outrage.
The following is a sketch of his plan.
The principle of the bill is to give indoor relief
to the decrepid, destitute, ice. poor; but as to the
working of it, settlement is to be no guidance, for
eventually, there are to be 100 poor houses in
Ireland, und these are to receive all the poor.
There is to be a rate throughout Ireland, half to
be paid by the landlord, half by the tenant; but
the sys.'em is to be begun by the erection of ten
or more hoL' ses > according to the discretion of the
poor lad foT th »y (with additions
to the b«srd, ifrequ.'"' 1 ®) or® to carry the plan in
to effect. Holders of te,?®rnents tinder £5 a year
to lx altogether exempt fron? tho rent, as they are
not to bs allowed to vole on the election of guar
dians. When the property of the .rate-payer ex
ceeds a certain amount, it is proposed to allow
him a plurality of votes.
The ntble lord stated that tho support Ot the
mendicants falls now almost exclusively upon the
middling and more humble classes, and that these
the small farmers and cotters, contribute, in food
for the relief of the beggars tietween £700,000
and a million sterling annually. His lordship
calculated that sufficient remedy would be sup
plied by tho erection eventually of 100 poor bou
ses, the country being divided into 100 districts ;
that there wore not to bo more than 800 paupers
in each poor-house; and that the cost would not
exceed £300,000 a year. It is also proposed
that the English poor-law commissioners
shall be (ho commissioners for Ireland al- 1
so, their number to be necessarily increased for i
this purpose by one, and one or two of them to re- i
side in Dublin. Tho boards of guardians arc to be
erected every year. Tho first electors to be 1
the county ecsspayers: all future elections to be
made by the rate payers. In the proposed measure >
there is no allusion to bastardy or apprenticeship. I
Out it proposes to place the existing charitable t
institutions under the direction ofthe commission
ers.
Mr. O,Connell said that he would advocate tho <
measure, although ho did not think it would I
realize the expectation of government. Sir Ro- i
bert Pool also promised his support. i
On tho 14th W. Molesworlh moved for leave I
to bring in a hill to abolish nil parliamentary qual
ification. Lord John Rumellsaid ho did not i
think any mischief would arise from a total a- c
bolition but that it would be better to modify <
than to abolish. He therefore recommended a ’
change in the motion to that edict. Sir W. i
Molesworlh refused, & the House decided against
motion, 133 to 104. Mr. Warburton then gave
notice of a bill to alter and amend the qualifica
tion laws.
The poor-law bill for Ireland was ordered to be <
read a second time on the 27th. i
On the 15th another question was put to Lord I
Palmerston, relating to tho seizure of the Vixen i
and answered as bcfgro that the subject was m i
course of negotiation and that it would not be I
proper to make atatementsiat present. i

Froni4kn Nile York American. March 28.
A Nones Cheat.—Lord dc Root, the Premier 1
Baron of England, has a patent bearing the date ;
of 1624, having been publicly charged with chca- 1
ting at cards, instituted a suit against the party
for libel. The defendant justified, and made out
his case so satisfactorily, that the Jury found for
him, and by consequence established the truth of 1
the charge.
The most curious part of tho evidence was that 1
of Sir William Ingilby, the greater part of which '
wo subjoin.
Sir William Ingilby—“l am an old member of 1
Graham’s Club. I have been nearly thirty years J
a member of it. I have known Lord De Koos as a ‘
member, and have frequently seen him play r
whist there, was in' tho club in March, April,
and part of May I know the trick called tauter 1
la coupe and I know the legerdemain by which 1
the ace can bo got to the bottom of the pack.”
Witness explained what ho believed was called 1
tho trick of tauter la coupe. A pack of cards was
handed him; and ho showed, after the cards were n
cut, that by a transposition of the two divisions of 1
the cards, the nee or king was again brought to 1
the bottom. Tho performance of tho trick crcat- f
cd much laughter.
Witness proceeded—“l have played a I 1
good deal at Graham’s Club, and I have re- 8
marked tho extraodinary manner in which
Lord De Roos played; and recollecting tho !j
trick of my early days, and likewise observing n
that he almost invariably turned up and ace f
or a king, I resolved to watch; and the first t
time I did I saw the trick done. I will not v
swear to a hundred times, but I have seen ,
Lord De Roos do the trick of sauler la coupe r
fitly times at least. 1 have never plaved with ,j
Lord De Roos buFat Graham’s Club. 1 observ- 'j
cd, with respect to dealing, that ins Lordehip i
handled the cards in a very extraordinary t
manner; he was in the habit of putting the t
kings and queens on their legs, and feeling t
them; and that first attracted my attention. <
lie used to deal very slowly & when the cards 1
were cut there was a sort of (“ king cough,”) 1
as if to distract the attention. lam speaking 1
now of the ‘pass,’ or sauler la coupe, i never
played with him willingly after I first observ- I
ed this. That was about five or six years ago ,
and I was fully certain that an ace or king
was sure to be turned up.”
Cross-examined by [the Attorney
“ I have seen bis Lordship do the trick twice of
a day, and then an ace or king was invariably
turned up I don’t think that he ever turned up
any thing else when I was looking at him. I ne
ver willingly played with Lord Dc Ros afterwards,
but I sometimes was obliged to do so. I con
sidered I had a good chance of winning the rub
ber when I had him for a partner. I received the
money when I won and paid when I lost. I had
no ‘compunctious visitings’ except those of play
ing with Lord Dc Roos. 1 cannot state any parti
cular day, or time, or persons who wero present.
The last time I saw him do it Was in March or
April last year. I did not mention the matter
publicly, because I thought if an obscure indivi
dual like myself attempted to say, ‘My Lord you
are cheating,’—if 1 had denounced a Peer of tho
realm, and a popular man, — I would have had a
host of persons upon me ; and I take it as a mat
ter of course, that I would not have had a choice
of door or window, but would have been pitched
out of the latter. I saw on one occasion, a parti
cular ace at bottom, which, after ‘the cut,’ should
have been in the middle, and that ace was after
wards turned up. I mentioned the matter after I
had first observed Lord Do Roos to Colonel Daily
and Major Rainey.”
After such testimony there is not much to
choose liotween the witness and the noble sharper
his associate.

The transactions this morning at the stock ex

stand that many of the brokers are curtailing

WALL STREET March 22. 0
Wo are in a singular condition. The whole
commercial world, in Europe and America, is in |
the midst of a healthy reaction. There arc fat- 1
lures in London—failures in Liverpool—failures il
in New York—failures in Philadelphia—failures I
in New Orleans. This is a happy and comforta- a
hie state of things. It is different from any t
crisis that ever took place in commercial his- s
tory. The great commercial machine, whose o
movements we have so accurately recorded
for two years past, is at last finding its natur
al motion and its proper seed. We want a few 1
more failures 1 and must have them.
But to particulars. Y’csterday tho stock mar
ket was variable. United States Bank, and other
banks, were cither steady or raising—the fancy
railroads falling. Nearly 10,000 shares of vari
ous kinds of stocks changed hands, being an
amount equal to one million of dollars. This is
an extraordinary fact in the present state of af
fairs. It indicates that real capitalists arc com
ing into the field. There is a real relief afforded
by tho recent failures, and we expect that stocks
hereafter will become steady and reasonable.
The money market is in a very bad condition.
The failure of the Josephs—their heavy liabili
ties—their connection with the southwestern
trade, have forced on the banks a most restrictive
policy. It is not, and never was, believed that
the Josephs can go on.
Tho money market is tighter than ever. This ,
arises from the general apprehension of the banks t ,
that blocks of failures will take place. There is n
no use now of disguising the truth. We are a
preparing a list of the principal firms that have
(ailed, and as soon as completed they shall be ~
published. We shall tell tho truth in spite of the
speculators.
The cotton market is excessively dull. The
news from Europe has given it a severe black eye.
The several declines on tho price during the last
month, are probably equal to a diminution in the
value of our exports to the amount of twelve mil
litnt. The cotton trade this year, in tho south
- states, begins to look disastrous. In 1835, a
the Carolinas and Georgia experienced a similar c
revulsion, brought on by similar causes—specula- j]
lions in cotton lands, negroes, and cotton itself.
The revulsion of that year taught prudence to tho
inhabitant* of these states. Alabama, Louiaian
no, and Mississippi will be taught prudence in
the same way.— Tennessee foitunately, has been
a well managed state in its cotton and monied
operations. The cotton culture of the south west
has been forced to its present condition by bor
rowing capital at 25 and 30 per cent. No bust- |
ness could stand such a terrible interest.
Timpson & Co. sold at auction yesterday 200 ,
packages of foreign and domestic dry goods. Do- i
meslic dry goods are falling in price. Tbs mar- 1
ket is overstocked, and the factories arejthrowing 1
out immense quantities in great vbundance. Do- ]
raestic dry goods are still too high. They must i
fall. It is not right that factory stock should di
vide 10 to 20 per cent profit, when the purcha
sers cannot make 5 per cent.
Real estate is in an awful state. Today the
Blccckcrs offer 81 lots in Brooklyn—trash—mere
trash; also, Franklin & Jenkins, by Chancery
sale, several lots beyond 46th street. These ar
ticles must all go down. Since the recent fails
ures, unproductive property on this island ha
sold at 50 to 75 per cent off from last year’s pri
ces, The Josephs own largo quantities in Har
leam—this must go cheap soon. All fancy lots
and fancy land speculations, will now go to the
devil, and to him they ought to have gone long
since. Quackery in real estate is the worst of
all kinds of quackery.
The following sales took place yesterday, 80
cks bleaching powders damaged, at 2J cash.
Liverpool Salt, $2 50 is asked for Ashton’s to ar
