April 5. July 5.
Total liabilities $14,232,621 14,546,703
Total resources 14,232,621 14,546,703

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 Cont. Tress
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 Vie 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, dour, and other produce, in payment, 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 nest 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 BILIZIL.—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
Commcrcio 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-
tn•een a slaver and an English cruizer. As near as wo
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.

" IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE. SUPPOSED.
RESCUE OF
'
NPLEOD BY THE CANADIANS.
DREADFUL
EXCITEMENT AT LOCKPORT.
New
Fork, July 18, 1841, Five o'Clock, a.m.
" Mr. John Connally, of Barclay street, has kindly
furnished us with the following most important letter re-
ceived by him two hours ago, per the Albanyboat, from
Captain Eustace of Lockport. The express that brought
the letter had arrived at Albany but a few minutes be-
fore the boat started—the rumour, however, of the rescue,
was beginning to spread in all directions, and the excite-
ment was intense. None of the passengers by the Albany
steam-boat could give any particulars further than these
contained in the letter; but they all agree that some
alarming demonstration must have been made by the Ca-
nadian people:—
" Lockport, Saturday, Four, a.m.
" ' Deer J"--, . -We are sure of a war at last. Half
an hour since, our gaol, which lies a little way out of
town, was surrounded by three or four hundred Cana-
dians—for the purpose, of course, of rescuing A:need—
and doubtless they have effected their purpose before
this. I say doubtless, because as yet we know nothing
for certain—only the arrival of the mob, the surround-
ing of gates, and the forcing of the guard ; and it will
be impossible to ascertain fillparticulars before day-break.
Meanwhile we are in the midst of such a din of confusion
and alarm as I never heard. All the.public bells are ringing
—the people have turned out en masse, every pistol, dirk,
sword, club, musket, 8.7. c, in the village, is being put in
requisition, and hoarse voices in all directions are shout-
ing--‘ To arms, to arms.' rhe express rider who will
carry this from here is preparing to set oato alarm the
1
towns along the river, to the end I believe of mustering
a force of retaliation, to dash right over and take instant
