noNAl > A The following from a late perodical, will®! particularly interesting, at line moment, to om| readers; *.V* An acquaintance with the family ofNa polcan, was not among the least ot the in . ducemenls that prevailed with ns to slop a whole month at Florence, Four branches of (lie (alien dynasty were domiciled in tlnsde iighlful capita). Prince Do Monfort, the ox kingjof Westapliahn; Princess Snrviltiurs, ex qoeim of Spain; the Princess Lipona, ditto of Naples; and Prince de St. the ex-king of Holland; from each of which Xes we were honored with the kindest att n mm. The Westphalian chief is strikingly like to Napo leon, only much thinner. The princess re minded me of the charming affability of the Landgravine of Hesse lloinbcrg. Prince Uontlbn has two sons, the eldest of whom has been some time at the militaiy college ot IStutganj; his second sen, Napoloun, a youth of 12 years of age the very image ol die em peror, remained with his lather, who with on only sister, the Princess Mali do, composed Ills (amity. The Princess Matilda in about sixteen years of age, and one of the tno-,1 love ly and accomplished of her sex : English, 100, in her predilections, English too in her style •of boauty, and speaking our language like n native. I have said young Napoleon is the image of the emperor, nor is the resemblance confined to his pcisun and features. Heins the same quickness and point in Irs remarks. 1 asked him ifhe spoke French. “ Why not said he, ‘I am a Frenchman.' 1 apologised in Frencli for not speaking with more fluency. ‘ How so,’ said he, ‘ when yon nro speaking so well’’ You find none oflhu fnvoliles a bout this youth that cleave to boys of his ng r: and in every other icspcct, he is as well man nered as the most accomplished man u( the 'world. lam much mistaken; should a good opportunity offer ii this youth bo not heard ol yet. The sotres of the Prince de Montfurt, were amongst the most select ns well as ■plendid in Florence. * • • * ♦ * Poor Louis, the cx-sovcrign of Holland, lin gers in a deplorable state of health—half par alysed—ami lives quite in retirement; never ueemgany bndy,wiili the exception of ids own immdiate family, or an iiiliinatu friend. Yet when this best natured of beings understood ■wc had a wish to he presented, he immedi ately fixed a day fur the purpose, and received us with a kindness ol milliner altogether pe culiar to himsell. Princess Charlotte, (he slaughter of King Joseph, who hadjieon mar ried to the eldest son, did us this kind office. Wc arrived before the princess, and found ■him looking on at game of billiards. He ini '•mediately rose, and currying us into nn inte rior apartment, entered into conversation. The princess was presently announced, and, x>ii entering the xa/»on,llie uniiahlu Louisji'ol up and taking botli her hands in his, remained for sonio lime appamntly overcome hy nn overpowooing emotion. The reason was af terwards explained. The day happened to bo (he anniversary ol her marriage with his ton; whoso untimely fatoisso well known; mid hi* infirm state of health was unable to hear up against tho fouling which her presence excit ed. The overflowingofgood Louis’s heart on (his occasion well accords with (he character oftho man who refused to wosr n crown rath er than become tho oppressor of bin subjects The Lipona,sister of the emperor, who is slill commonly addressed us Queen of Naples, is a woman of tho ramat fascination of manner, and her palace the rendezvous of nil that is gay and illustrious in tho capital of Tuscany. Her hkmless to her son, ('id, AcIuJUUMP struck me as quite as AchillQjMsflggofl^ ,! ™i n, ' ( l themore to Napoleon; though sound parodoxieial Ins mother has ipoailively not one (onloro in common with ihe Emperor. Tho title of Lipona, which :h theprinooss has assumiJ, is a literal reten tion of hero claims os Queen of Naples, or Napoli, the syllables being only reversed. Mhe never formally abdicated her right to the crown. Mural, as every one knows, was put to death without having consented to any act of abdication. The princess encounters lirr reverses with the most philosophical in difference : apparently Jhe very happiest of the happy; commanding equally the love and •'admiration of all who are honored with her ac quaintance, and share her delightful conversa t on. In an apartment of her pil.ice adjoining the great saloon'is deposited, in nn enclosure of glazed frame work, festooned with his or ders of chivalry, a piled trophy of the arms presented to the hero of the “(unghy plume, ’’ by the different sovereigns who we. o anxious to,pay h nillioir homage,swords, idea e:irUnre, daggers, lances, all ol the most costly work* insnship, espocally a cimilar form Aclimet Key. inagnilicacnlly studded with billiants. The special sword, too, which he bore through oil his battles, is ornamented on tliv’lnlt with miniature enamels of tho Queen'and her children; and in a vacant space of tho armo rial enclosure 1 cs, in modest obscurity, the atom anal plume itself. • * * In a small apartment oftho princess’s bed room, there stands, on an elevated pedestal, fho bust of Murut. None but tho elite of her acquaintance arc allowed to approach this hallowed little temple, the shrine of tho idol of her pride end affections. When wo wore admitted the bust was brilliantly radiated by lights, shedding a solemnity which struck mu «s far more imposing Ilian could bo produced by the most sombre sepulchral style of deco ration. Flowers, and flowering shrubs, of the choicest beauty, were placed about the fing ers, uniting the r graceful shade over the brow and forehead.—The impression of solemnity may probably be accounted for hy the gay contrast of these (lowers and brilliant lights with the awful image of death. This grati fication was reserved for the last evening wo had tho honor of passing at Princess Lipo na's. On the same occasion wo were doligh lud with the well recollected tones ofCata lania’s voice, in a duct with her daughter . end we visited her, next day, at lier villa, within a few miles of Florence, where she is eumptomsly lodged, and enjoys the green au tumn of her days in gteai comfort, respect ted by every body, and un wearriod in dem s >' charily and usefulness. 1 have a pleasure in speaking about Catalan!.!, if it were only foi the devotion she feels for England, which amounts to a passion, and is shown in every thing she says or docs. Catalan i, in fact swears by England ; she lias English grates, English carpels, English chairs, English heJ-steads and bed-curtains ; and the beds are covered with onr counterpanes. She never speaks of England but with enthu siasm ; and it her arrangements will per mit, she does not despair of passing the re mainder ot her life on our shore. Catulania is an universal favorite in the best society at Florence on account of qualities dial will long survive her voice; for it need hardly lx remarked that her vocal powers arc a little on the wane - —Sin A.

This Society is but little known, indeed many are not apprised ofits existence. Its object is tho relief of tho sick poor, without respect lo denomination or sect, so far as its ability extends. The subscription is voluntary, depending entirely upon the disposi tion of the contributor. The member* of this Society not only conti Unite out of their pecuniary means towards the relief of the indigent sick, but also render their personal services, when requir- ] cj. At a lime of sickness like the present, such ' an appeal will wc bust ho generously met. There aro many honest, industrious poor in s this community, whoso labour yields them but a f daily maintenance, and who in time of sickness v are thus cut off from all their dependence. They arc worthy of our assistance, and their calls for v hell) in time of distress should not be unheeded. t< True the general calamities umong us have to " some extent diminished our opportunity of doing ” good, but they should only quicken our ecnsibiii p . . ■ • i r. : . ir ! : milyilr the "*»» oftirWccjily afflicted of our race.

We believe that no other Society exists in this I community whose object is the same. Wo hope many will come ont to the meeting 1 to-night determined to do what they can.

By the packet ship South America, from Liv erpool of 15th nit., we have our London files to that dale. They oiler nothing encouraging. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had declined acceding to the request of the deputation front Liverpool for an advance of Exchequer Hills, on the security of produce—and tho Bunk of Eng land appears also to have turned a deaf ear to their application for aid. Tho consequences were yet tube ascertained. Tho packets of the Bth and IGtii March from this city, had reached Liverpool. They took lilllo or no specie. There seemed no doubt that tho American houses heretofore alluded to would bo sustained hy the Bank. Nor is there any apparent solici tude about the ability of the liank to do what it proposes. Tho noting of bills from this side for non-ac ceptance was going on on a large scale, both in London and Havre, and that 100 before the worst tidings from hero bad been received. We have extracted from the Paris papers of Thursday, tho 13th April. Tho French Cabinet was still unformed— Marshal Soult having failed in a third attempt to reconstruct it, had dclliiitively relinquished the 1 task. Possibly Louis Philippe is quite as well satisfied to govern by himself. The London Morning Herald of the 15th, 1 says— ‘ The long ponding negotiations for tho forma- ‘ lion of a cabinet appear to bo drawing towards a 1 conclusion, after a series of combinations with 1 tho constituent units, which have very nearly 1 exhausted trio range of perpetuations which tho 1 limited number of persons involved admitted of. It is M. Guizot who is said to have carried olf tho ‘ the prize, such as it is. of the presidentship and 1 foreign affairs, leaving to M. Montalivet the port- 1 folio he lias so obstinately coveted—namely, ' that of llie interior. The other members, with the exception of M.Persil, who makes way for 1 M. Barlhc, are the same as before' ;M. Rupfagno 1 tilling M. Guixot’s vacant place as minister of 1 public instruction. • In Spanish nHairs all activity on both sides seems to have been suspended by the intensity of ! the cold. 1 In the House of Commons, the Irish Munici- 1 pal Corporation bill was lead a third time, on ' thejl till ult.. by (as the Times says,) “a dwindled majority 0f’55.” ' [From the London Times of YUh.] I Tuesday evening, April 11. MoSRV Maukkt ash Citx IsTimonseK, 8 It is generally understood in the city that the do- ° putation from Liverpool,after receiving from Mr. S Spring Rice a refusal of their application, have been treated in the same manner by the Hunk ° Directors, who were referred to as the proper per- 81 sons, if al all,to give the assistance required. The 81 position of the parties in n commercial point of view is said to be this—that to place them in a state of security they would require advances ' beyond tho market value of the goods they hold, which would expose the Bank in assisting them ? n to risks which none of tho recognized principles u which govern all accommodation with money .. villjustify. Thence the question arises whether , his call is one which will justify any departure [ rom so salutary a rule. There is also another 10 to Knlcully, arising from the increase of the issues I of paper, which must follow any sssisUnce dhect j from tho Bank, respecting w hich it is their policy | at this moment to exercise the utmost caution. The Government, of course, have no money to | lend, but can only afford assistance by means of I their credit—that is, by an issue of Exchequer bills; and this, if there were no other objections to it, would be the preferable course ns regards the circulation, since it would leave the quantity of money afloat the same as before. Al present, according to the current impression of the city, there is no prospect that either of these modes of assistance-will lie resorted to. There is much I apprehension, however, os to the consequence j that may he produced in the manufacturing dis- I tints by the ill success of the application from J Liverpool, as it may lend to throw great multi | tildes out of employ—dint is, if the rcprcsnla | tiom which ars uwdo here upon tho subject by I the parlies interested are correct. Many persons, however, who should be well informed on such a question entertain different and better expecta tions ; even these, however, watch for the new incidents which daily present themselves with much anxiety. [From the London Morning Herald of April \\.] The anxiety which has lately prevailed n mongsf our commercial and monetary interests with regard to the difficulties in which many em inent houses in llie American trade have been placed has not materially abated. Nothing of an ofiicial character lias yet transpired relative to thu determination on (hr part of the Hank of Eng land with regard to the application of the Liver pool and Manchester deputation; but we have reason to believe that it has been for the present decided in the negative. The ptes-ure for money on the Stock Ex change lias not been so great today, and the Consol market has rather improved, the closing price for money and account was 90 1-3 a 5-8. Tho Thrce-and-a-half per Cent. Reduced An nuities are 07 1-8, and tho New Thrco-atid-a lialf per Cents 98 1-2 a 5-8. Hank Stock is 204 1-2; and India, 258 money. The premium upon Exchequer Hills is 38 a 40; and on India Bonds, 37 a 39. There has not been much business done in the Foreign Exchange ; on Paris they arc firm, but generally there has not been any alteration. We understand that the house of Messrs. Aaron Lees & Co., of Manchester, which Las several mills and employs 2,000 hands, and which stopped payment the other day, is expec ted to resume business again shortly.—[Liver pool Standard.] Lmncoot, Friday Eve, April 14. Cotton' Mauri t. —There have been leas Cot ton offering hy the holders this week, the Market has assumed a more tranquil appearance, and prices ot all descriptions have remained steady. Uplands and Orleans have how ever, been chiefly in demand, whilst Brazils, Egyptians, and iSdrats have been comparatively neglected. We make no change in our quotations. The sales of the week, including 2,000 American ta ken on speculation, and 1,800 for export, a mount to 18,150 hugs. Import 5,903 bags. The llavio market for Cotton has improved a lilllo, as will be seen by (he annexed extracts of tattlers, Havre, slli April. Our Cotton Market was firm yesterday, and the advance from the lowest point may be considered at full 10 centimes. Upon some purchases it is more—lint, on an average, two sols is about the absolute rise. Still even with this, our prices are very low, in comparison with prices in the U. Hiatus, and the losses are necessarily tremen dous. 1 r 1 V ]T X n - r I’llllliascs flf ‘ 11 -“[-••• ( have been made, | partly by llie trade, partly by speculators, during I the last eight days, with a gradual improvement 1 in prices. Upon the whole, however, our rates, J for United Slates slioit staples, are only 2 1-2 centimes higher than they were on the 24 nil. the day which preceded the heavy fall heretofore no ticed. The sales are 8200 bags, and no arrival. Stock 73000. From tin N. Y. Journal of Commerce. London, April 13. — A general meeting of the directors of the Bank of England has been sum moned for to-morrow, when, it is expected, some propositions will be laid before the board by the governor in reference to the slate of commercial matters. The greatest distrust, however, still prevails in the city, and on mercantile bills of a certain class it is almost impossible to obtain money. To such an extent, indeed, have things gone, that some bills of a firm of the first emi nence in Liverpool, which have heretofore al ways been in demand, were discounted to-day at five per cent, and ono per cent, commission. Livnuroot, April 15. —It was reported hero last night, on tho faith of letters received from London, that tho chancellor ol the exchequer had consented to issue exchequer bills to the amount of peeuniaiy assistance sought at the hands of government by the mercantile deputa tion. We give the report, without guaranteeing that it is correct in all particulars ; indeed, from tho lone oflhe London papers of Thursday eve ning, its accuracy seems a little apocryphal. Correspondence of the N. Y. Star, Map 18. LiVKiirooL, April 10. You can have no idea of the situation of the mercantile classes in England. The non-arrival of six New York packets (here and at London) caused great anxiety, but it was a fear mingled with hope. Hut, now lllht two of them have come (the Pennsylvania and the England) and without specie, the despondency is great and in creasing. Money is money now, and the best paper can scarcely be discounted. So much is business at a stand still here, that even the retail dealers arc not receiving, over the counter, one third of their usual receipts. The prices of all American produce arc tumb ling down, especially of cotton, for which there are few buyers, though the price is,in many eases, not one-half of what it was 12 months since. People could speculate on these low prices, hut there is no money abroad with which to make the venture. In Glasgow, Paisley, Manchester and Stock port, tho cotton manufacture is so sluggish that it might ns well he actually at an end. To add to tlic matter, provisions grow dearer every week. The merchants of Liverpool having sent a dep utation to London soliciting relief from Govern ment, the Chancellor of the Exchequer refuses it and hand the applicants over to the Bank of Eng land. This body, on Thursday, deliberately de clined giving pocuniaiy hclp to the Liverpool mer chants on any terms. This is hard, as the Bank did, last week, give pecuniary aid to a largo a mount to Messrs. Geo. Wylde & Go, (an Ameri can house in London) on the pcisonal security of that firm. Indeed one Liverpool house has already had aid frntp tho Bank, which makes the pres ent refusal more marked. We expect to have many bankruptcies this week, licro and in Man- . Chester. Things arc very bad, and they will be worse before they are belter. The credit ofyour merchants in England, has received such a shock by their neglect or inabili ty to meet their engagements, that along time must elapse ore it can bo retrieved' 1 In politics there is nothing new. Ministers have carried the Irish Corporation Bill through the Common* by a majority ol 55. It wjlbc lost is the Lords, and in that castjit is expected that ono ol'lwo things will take {dace—either there will be a dissolution of Pailiamcnt, or there will be a new Ministry, But it is doubtful if Peel 1 would form that new Cabinet, the commercial 1 distress being so great that, if it continue, it must < fall severely on the working class, and a convul- i ston is likely to follow in that case. If things go ( on as badly as they have commenced it is impos- I slide to say what may eventuate. 1 The latest accounts from Spain arc via Bay- mnooftbo Bth inst. They report some slight v success by tho Carlists, but the prevalence of i mowy and stormy weather prevented nearly all ' iperations. Saarsfield has been succeded in his s lomrnand by Gen. Iribarrcn, llie now Viceroy of S'aval re. In France commercial distress has commenced, ml people altirm that its results will be dread ally disastrous. Tho whether is very bad. There was a report that the yeung Duke of I lordcaux bad been sent to Spain, to make a m impaign with Don Carlos.
