THE. UNITED STATES.

The commercial accounts from New York by the
Acadia steam-ship bring a further reduction in the
price of United States Bank shares, which had fallen to
63 ; the nominal quotations exhibit a shade higher
price, but our private advices inform us of several sales
at the price we have quoted. The reduction of price
is accounted for by the fact of the Bank having lately
paid off a portion of its debt in advance to the Govern-
ment, and it is understood that Government has paid
various clothing contractors to the amount of nearly one
million and a half of dollars, in United States Bank Bills.
Another reason for the reduction is to be found in a
large number of traders being in New York and
delphia from the Southern States, and the bulk of their
money being in these bills, they are forced into the
market in order to enable them to make their intended
purchases. Various American papers state, that the
Banks of Philadelphia will shortly resume specie pay-
ment. The United States Bank is included in the
number. We believe an understanding exists, that if a
resumption takes place at all, it must be a general one.
In the cotton market no very material alteration has
taken place since last advices.
At Boston 1,000 dollars of the city of Boston Five
per Cents. sold at auction at 994 per cent. on the 28th
ultimo. _

From all the returns there would seem to be ao doubt
of General Harrison's success for the Presidential chair.
From Canada we learn that several acts of aggression
and incendiarism have recently taken place on the fron-
tier. In one instance the perpetrators were detected,
and on being taken before a magistrate of Champlain
were pardoned. The Montreal papers are highly in-
dignant at this treatment, and call the attention of the
Governor-General to the affair. Two barns filled with
corn, the property of Loyalists (brothers), were wholly
destroyed by fire, and the incendiaries, two well-known
refugees, have escaped into the American border, and
as yet have not been given up,
The horrible Indian barbarities are greatly on the
crease, and if possible the scenes that accompany them
are more sickening than heretofore.

STATE OF TRADE.

The state of the markets during the week has been
less active than during the previous week. The dry
goods auction sales have been fairly attended, but the
prices obtained have been far from encouraging. The
circumstar.ces of the currency and internal trade of
the country are an inseparable bar to any great aug-
mentation at business beyond that attendant on the
ability to buy on cash terms at low prices. The business
doing is confined to a new class of dealers, who entered
the markets on cash terms at low prices, slid are therefore
able to sell on the same terms profitably. These buyers
are picking out the choicest lots from the old stocks
held by the importers. This may induce those im•
porters to order fresh goods to supply that demand, but
it cannot be to any great extent. The large majority
of the old dealers cannot compete with the new class.
The latter can sell profitably at prices which will ruin
those that held over stocks last year. The whole
supply of goods is, moreover, quite sufficient to supply
all the healthy demand which is likely to spring up in
the next siz months.

COTTON.—This article has been, with a light stock,
moderately active during the week at firm prices. In
the southern ports the stocks have become very limited,
and the markets begin to be influenced by the prospect
of the growing crop, the yield of which will be in-
fluenced in a great deg:cc by the weather at this critical
period of the year.

CORRECTIONAL 'POLICE, PARIS.

CRUELTY OF MASTERS TO THEIR APPRENTICEC
(From the Gazette des Rib:mans.)
A Hoatotious STottY.—A tew days ago, an exceed-
ingly pretty little bonne advanced with a timid air, and
downcast eyes, to the bar of the Police Correctionelle,
to prefer a complaint against Madame Duchatenest,
her mistress, a meagre and parchment-cheeked virgin,
advanced in years, for an assault committed with a
pair of pincers. Mademoiselle Virginia (such was the
bonne's name) narrated her martyrdom in the following
terms :—" I was out of dace for some time, when one
of my friends advised me to read the Petite Affiches,
assuring me that I would there infallibly meet with
somethingab,

qualities, as my testimoninla prove, I presented myself
before this lady. The moment I saw her, I could not
conceal from myself my astonishment that at her age
she could possibly have an infant needing the services
of a bonne; but again, I reflected that she might be its
grandmother."

answered them all to her satisfaction. She then in-
formed me that she would give 200 f. wages, and that
if it suited me, I might enter her establishment the fol-
lowing day. I accepted her proposal, and requested I
might see the little one.' Madame replied that she
would send for him, rang the bell, and adiressing the
cook said, Bring up Love.' In a moment after I saw
the cook enter, carrying in her arms a little griffin-dog,
as frightfully ugly as it is possible to conceive."
Defendant—" C'est trop fort ?. The jade respects no-
thing—not even death."
President—" Will you be silent, Madam ?"
Defendant—" It would appear that the bench con-
fines its protection to MAdemoiselle."—(Laughter.)
Complainant—" Here," said Madam, " is your eleve,
You will have to tend him, to comb him, to take him
out to walk. Let me recommend you to be most kind
and tender in your treatment of him. You shall be
supplied with bonbons for his use, and I pray you to
execute all his little velontes. I was indeed no little
surprised that Madame should have asked me such a
number of questions, and that all should end with her
intrusting me with her dog for an occasional prome-
nade. But as, after all, the situation was not likely

Love appeared sad or
with melancholy, it was I who had maltreated
as-
sault of which you complain ? Complainant—" It must
be confessed that Love had one grave fault—he could
not pass one heap of rubbish in the streets without
searching for a stray bone. As Madame had told ine
never in a single instance to oppose his wishes, I allowed
him to do as he pleased. One day, a cabriolet, which
was going at a very rapid rate, came in contact with
Love, who was too eagerly intent upon picking his bone to
take any notice of the vehicle's approach, and the wheel
passing over him killed him on the spot. When I re-
turned home, and, trembling all over, informed Madame
of what had occurred, she loaded me with abuse, and
seizing a pair of pincers which lay on the mantel-piece,
struck me several blows, and even hit me on the face ;
I have had my right eye quite black. A little higher,
and she would infallibly have knocked it out. All that

I have bad him stuffed he preserves his spiritual look,
and you would swear he was going to speak to you."
The President, notwithstanding all his efforts, could
not succeed in extracting one word of explanation from
the defendant, who continued, however, without inter-
mission, a most eloquent funeral oration on her lap-dog.
During the delivery of this affecting discourse, the
tribunal deliberated, and condemned Madame Ducha-
tenest to pay 150 f. damages to the injured Virginia.
