CUAOSITIES OF AMERICAN NEWSPAPER

LITERATURE,

HARD TlMES.—Wanted—mediums—to give confidence
to banks—money lenders—no•e buyers—shavers—capita-
lists—brokers and croakers—That the world is not coming
to an end in GO days—and if it should—that any tip top
security will answrr them as well as specie—provided
holders in life acd characters a-e all right.—Also, to give
notice to those who are holding on to money for the
biggest rate—if they don't look out, they will be " too
late"—as the sly ones are picking up a food many rood
stocks and notes—bofore the owners find out—" that in
all that constitutes the real and acknowledged wea'th o:
a country or State, we never were—so rich as at the pre -
sent time'—and that with our crops we can soon bring
the world in debt to us —Also—to procu'e situations for
such of the first-named classes—who have mistaken or
forgotten their calling—and who are struck with terror
at an application for a torn with uLquestionalie security.
—NEW CENT.

REMEMBER MOREHEAD'S MAGNETIC PL ASTER —Re-
mernb,r, if you put this plaster anywhere, no matter
where, if pain is there, the plaster will stick there until
pain is not there. The plaster magnetises the pain away,
and pain cannot exist . where the plaster is applied.
Remember this, ye who have pains and aches, rheumatism,
lameness, stiffrrss, weakness, nervousness, neuralgia,
dyspepsia, or who ere sick and suffering in any way.
Remember Morehead's magnetic plaster. Price 23 cents
a box, with full and plain directions. Each boa will
make six to e7ght, plasters, and any child can spread
them. D. C. Morehead, M.D., 19, Walker-street, New
York. For sale by all respectable druggists and dealers
in genuine medicines throughout the United States.
MATRIMONIAL —I am a young man, about thirty, of
very respectabh connections, of bnsineFs habi's, and of a
cheerful and agreeable disposition. I lay no claim to
wealth; what I have I have gained-by my own Industry;
I have always been in business for myself, and have
enough to enjoy life with. I desire to form the acquaint-
ance of a young, respectable lady, whose circumstances
are equal to my own, with a view to matrimony. My
intentions are of the most pure and honourable nature,
and I hope no one will deign to reply to this unless
promptel by the same motives. All communications will
be hold strictly confidential and returned if required. I
beg that no true lady will let diffidence or sensitive feel-
ings prevent her from responding to this, as they may
rely upon the confidence and most sacred principle and
honour of a true gentleman, and the most sacred con-
filence will be maintained. Address "Honor," box 3,824
Post-office, New Y( rk.

events of life told. The intended wife or hush-ind
brought personally by her secret powers. Offige 80 West
Nineteenth-street, near Sixth-al enue. Hours, 10 a.m.
to 7 p.m.

CRINOLINE —The west side of Broadway, between
Canal and Eighth streets, is suffering from a tremendous
pressure cfcrinoline. The hoops aro more extensive
than ever—altogether ungetoverable and ungetroundable.
The trottoir is even more impassable than the carriage
way, and a fashionably dressed lady takes up quite as
much space as an omnibus. Near the hotels you may see
crowds of fashionable and unfashionable loafers from all
parts of the world, while the mixed crowd of promenaders
afford the most interesting study to the philosopher and
the philanthropist. The dry goods shops are the greatest
gainers by the pressure. In old times the ladies were
bears—now they are hulls. They formerly flitted from
shop to shop endeavouring to buy at the lowest possib'e
rate ; now they all seem anxious to pay the highest prices
for everything. The quality of the article is not con-
sidered ; the questton is, what did it cost ? The American
female mind rune chiefif to sprn ling money. Who wouid
think that the husbands of these ladies who wear their
thousand dollar dresses, and wipe their " dear " little
noses with hundred dollar pocket handkerchiefs, were
shining about Wall-street, borrowing money at three per
cent a month, or pullinz a long face, and telling the.r
credi ors that they haven't a cent in the world.

LIVERPOOL CORN M RKET.—Ocr. 27.
We had a small attendance of either local or country
buyers at our market to day ; the trade is again further
depressed, and wheats are offered freely from the quay,
so that, upon limited transactions, we must note, upon
American and all other good qualities of foreign, a reduc-
tion of 39 to 41 since Friday, making a decline of 51 to
64 per bushel slice this day week, while some inf.•rior
qualities have been forced off at 61 to 8d per bushel less
money, the value of any but the best runs being with
difficulty defineable. American flour is 6d to Is per
barrel, and other sorts fully is per sack cheaper on the
week. Beans a very slow sale and Is per quarter lower.
Oats are in moderate request without change in value,
but oatmeal, from the large quantity at hand, is offered at
a reduction of is per load. Mixed and yellow Indian
corn is 64 per quarter lower, with a tolerable
inquiry for feeding purposes ; white maintains its
value, there being scarcely any left on this market.
