HALF-PAST ONE.

The accounts from New Orleans of the 10th of Jan.,
state that the scarcity of money is a subject of great re,
mark. Harder times have never been felt in the above
city. The cause of this state of things is obvious. The
situation of the banks is such as prohibits them from dis-
counting or affording accommodations. The suspension of
specie payments forced upon them by the recent crisis has
subjected them to a forfeiture of their charters ; until re-
stored to their privileges by the Legislature, they are dis-
abled from extending their circulation. An Act to relieve
them is now under discussion in the House of Repre-
sentatives ; and the pecuniary distress, which now prevails
extensively, and is impeding all business in the community,
imperatively calls for immediate action.
We have not experienced, for sonic days past, so blink
a morning for intelligence as the present ; owing to which,
both the British arid Foreign Markets, have continued in
an inactive state during the morning.
Accounts from Liverpool state that the ship Republic
from New York, was off the Orm's Head, supposed to h sve
sailed on the sth inst., in all probability the New York
papers will be received in the afternoon train from Li-
verpool.
The Consol Market at present, is not quite so steady as
during the morning, and may be quoted a shade lower, 921 ;

In the Foreign Market the various prices are much the

CORN-.LAWS.-Mr. Paulton delivered a lecture
on the Corn-laws at Maidstone last night, which was
attended by fifteen hundred persons, Many had to go
away for want of room. Mr. Paulton was enthusias-
tically cheered at the conclusion of his address, which
was listened to with profound astention.

Mr. Labouchere has resigned the Vice•Presi.
dency of the Board of Trade, and accepted the situation of Under.
Secretary for the Colonies,

SALE OF A HUSBAND.—Last week a man re-
siding at Chapelen-le-Frith, was " put up to be soh2 by auction," by
his adorable wife, who, it is presumed, had grown heartily sick of
his society. The " conditions of sale," were, that the fellow should
be put up at 195., the person advancing Is. upon that to claim him.
No one appearing inclined to bid, the sale was postponed to an rode.
finite period.—North Derbyshire Chronicle.

stances connected with the case will be gathered from the following

verdict which was . returned :—" The Jury find that William
Thomas• Lear Cholwick died a natural death ; but they cannot re-
cord their verdict without expressing their strong feelings on the
inhuman conduct of a tailor, who had been a servant of the de-
ceased, and had received large sums of money and great favours
from the family, and but for whom deceased would have been re.
leased from custody."
