This return indicates an increased currency in the
Eastern section, and the business of that part of the
country seems to have increased, while that of New
York has remained stationary; In fact the business
of the New England States depends upon the industry
of its inhabitants altogether, and whatever Congress
or any other body of men may be doing, they keep
to work. While New York and. New York capitalists
are " calling upon Jupiter for help," the Yankees are
putting their shoulders to the wheel. The result is
a constantly increasing prosperity. Boston is now
the centre of a large trade, she has four railroads that
connect her with all the important sections of the coun-
try. The Providence line brings her within ten hours
of New York.. The Eastern railroad connects her
with the State of Maine and the intermediate interests.
—The Lowell railroad runs through the heart of the
great manufacturers, the produce of which spreads all
over the face of the Union, clothing alike the slave, the
planter, and the farmer. From these she receives their
pork, flour, and other produce, in paytnent, hitherto by
the way of-New Orleans, New York, and other ports,
but now she has boldly., stretched her extended hand
through the Great Western Railroad to receive those
products immediately at her own door ; and next winter,
while New York, with its river frozen up, and its dealers
speculating on the movement of the politicians at Wash-
ington, and are waiting for some great mysterious event,
Boston will be in the enjoyment of a large and active
business.

FOUR DAYS LATER FROM BRAZIL.—The William, C.
Nye arrived last night from Rio de Janeiro. She sailed
thence on the 4th ult, and has brought us the Jornol do
Conmercio to that date. After a careful perusal, we
cannot find a single word of news in the papers. We
learn 'verbally, however, that some excitement existed in
Rio, in consequence of a fight which had taken place be-
tween a slaver and an English cruiser. As near as we
can ascertain the slaver had the advantage. It has
struck us several times that not many months would pass
over before some slaver, with a desperate crew, would
show fight when boarded by a British man-of-war, and
and here is the first instance. It will not be long ere
we hear of another.

CHRONICLES OF THE TOMBS.—The report from Gene-
ral Hydes hospitable mansion, of the incomings and out-
goings last week, was as follows :—Received into the
establishment, 127 white males, 70 white females, 17
negroes, 15 negro wenches ; total received, 229. Dis-
charged during the same period, 140 white males, 62
white females, 22 negroes, and 20 negro wenches ; total

31 white females, 21 negroes, and 6 negro wenches; total
remaining, 131. Of those remaining, only 47 are for felo-
nies and misdemeanours, other than assaults and batte-
ries, the remainder being for drunkenness, vagrancy,o&c.
Of the 47, three are of persons convicted and not sen-

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

had a very quiet market to-day, and the business limited.
The sales amount to 2,500 bales ; only a few of American
descriptions have been taken by exporters.

tions are reported as follows:—Grand Junction, 189 ;

ham, Quarters, 221 22t ; Manchester and Birmingham,

A Lisbon mail has also arrived by the Braganza
steamer, sailed from Gibraltar 29th of July, Cadiz 30th,
Lisbon 2d of August, Oporto 3d of August. The infor-
mation she brings is of little interest, except that a confla-
gration took place in which several lives were lost ; also
two respectable tradesmen destroyed themselves by
poison.
New York Papers have been received by the North
America, after a passage of nineteen days to the 20th
ultimo, three days later than previously received by the
Britannia. The news she brings is not of importance.
Some excitement was caused at New York by a state-
ment in a Sunday paper that three hundred or four hun-
dred Canadians were going to rescue li•Leod. An
alarm was given, and all the bells rung, and the people

turned out en masse.
The New York daily papers are silent on the above
subject ; therefore we may conclude there is no founda-
tion for the report.
The rate of Exchange upon England for good bills
was Bto Bi, and 7l for inferior paper. 'United States
Bank Shares rather, lower, 17j.
'We have received Buenos Ayres papers to the 13th of
June, from which it appears that Admiral Brown in his
brig, accompanied by a brigantine, arrived in the
outer roads from off Monte Video, on Sunday last, to
re-victual, &c.. It said that the Itiveresta squadron,
inclutling- Coe'S ship, the newly-purchased barque
