periority of Mr. CLAUDET'S PORTRAITS is due to the
surprising RAPIDITY of the PROCESS, which gives to
the Likeness the pleasing and unconstrained expression which
the Sitter can only assume during an INSTANTANEOUS
OPERATION—to the introduction of Back Grounds (EX-
CLUSIVELY HIS OWN), representing Landscapes, Jute-
tior of apartments, &c., which produces the most PICTU-
RESQUE EFFECT—and to the mode of durably fixing the

The object of this Society is to afford to the Assured all the
benefits of Life Assurance at a great reduction in the rates of
premium, and also some further advantages peculiar to this In-
stitution, with the guarantee of a numerous and opulent pro-
prietary, and a subscribed capital of 530,0001.
To accomplish this important result, there are two plans for
assurance—by the first (Table 1) the rates of premium are re-
duced to the lowest scale compatible with the safety and sta-
bility of the Society, thereby in effect giving to the assured an
immediate and certain bonus.

The Second Plan (Table 2) is to meet the views and in-
terests of persons who. in making a provision for their families,
with to participate in the periodical division of profits by the
payment of a lower rate of premium than has hitherto been
charged by bonus offices, viz.

For the convenience of those who assure upon this Table,
one-half the premium may remain unpaid for the first seven
years, at an interest of 5 per cent., which may continue to the
death of the party, or be paid off at his convenience, or with the
sum assured be discontinued without any claim from the office.
To professional men and others whose incomes are progressive,
and in loan transactions where the debt is gradually reduced,
this principle of charging one-half the premium for the first
seven years will be found to be particularly advantageous to the
Assured.

Assurances may be effected every day with the least possible
trouble to the party.

by their undertaking. It has ever been a source of inconve-

pelled to the harassing necessity of proceeding from shop to
shop in search of each distinct article of dress. This evil is
now most completely remedied at the London General Mourn-
ing Warehouse, where every description of mourning, milli •
nery, dresses, cloaks, mantles, shawls, &c., of the best qua-
lity, can be purchased at the most reasonable prices, and every
article necessary for a complete outfit of mourning, may be
procured at a moment's notice. Tho millinery rooms contain
an assortment of mourning bonnets, caps, and head-dresses,
with a well-selected variety of skirts for first and following
mourning. The dressmaking is superintended by an expe-
rienced artiste.

MEETING AT THE EXCHANGE.
(From the New York courier and Inquirer of March 19.)
pursuant to the call published in most of the morning papers,
a very large number of persons assembled in the large room in
the Exchange yesterday afternoon, to consider the propriety of
trging upon our representatives in Congress the necessity of
prompt and decisive action upon the great questions of interest
and importance to the whole country.
The meeting was organised by the appointment of the fol-
lowing officers :—Benjamin Strong, Chairman. Vice-Presi-
lents—Anson G. Phelps, N. T. Hubbard, Henry Suydam,
Hiram Ketsham, Henry Wyckoff, Wm. Churchill. John
Thomas. Secretaries—Schuyler Livingston, Was. B. Dean.
The meeting was addressed by Hugh Maxwell and Hiram
Ketsharn, ffeirs., but want of space compels us to omit any
further mention of the proceedings, except to say that the an-
nexed resolutiors, read by Mr. Maxwell, were unanimously
adopted ; and, on the motion of General Talmadge, a copy
was ordered to be sent to both branches of the Legislature of
this State, as being equally amenable to public censure with
Congress.
Whereas, the present condition of our country, as exem-
plified in the general derangement and depreciation of the
country, in the deep distrust and difficulty which prevail in the
business community, in the consequent depression and distress
of nearly all the industrious classes, in the continued fall of
public and corporate securities, and in the deplorably dis-
honoured credit, not only of :State Governmsnts, but also of
that oft ho Federal Union, loudly appeals to the patriotism, pride,
and intelligence of Americans as a self-governing people.
And whereas, the condition of our country is rendered yet
more urgent by the ominous cloud which impends over our fo-
reign relations, and by which our domestic embarrassments
may speedily become aggravated into frightful obstacles to our
national security and honour.
Therefore we, the merchants, traders, and other citizens of
New York, here assembled, with a solemn sense of the mo-
mentous interests and considerations involved in the present
crisis, and of the duty which devolves upon us as citizens of the
common Metropolis of the Republic, have
Resolved, That a crisis has manifestly. arrived in which the
indulgence of mere party feelings, • and the achievement of
mere party purposes, can afford no remedy for the imminent
evils under which the country labours ; but having probably
superinduced them, are calculated to enhance and prolong them.
Resolved, That such objects, ever ignoble in comparison
with the prosperity, happiness, and dignity of the whole people,
are, at the present juncture, especially unworthy of the high
functions of our national legislators; and in open conflict with
the interests, opinions, and wishes of the people whom they
represent.
Resolved, That as Republican citizens, and as members of
both the great political parties meeting here upon the common
ground of the commonweal, without compromising our distinc-
tive political opinions upon other questions, we cordially unite
in deprecating all factious opposition to the administration of
our Government in the hands of those to whom the people
under the Constitution have committed it, as unjust and de-
grading in itself—as calculated to embarrass the necessary
operations of the Government—retard the fulfilment of its
legitimate obligations, and impair its S.: lel), vigour and use-
fulness, at a period of great public emergency, when the ex-
pectation of millions is concentered upon the wisdom and suc-
cess of its policy.
Resolved, That the proposition emanating from that Admi-
nistration, now pending before Congress, and recently favour-
ably reported on by Committees of the House of Representatives
and the Senate, for the establishment of a Government Ex-
chequer, recognising as it does, both the power and duty of the
Federal Government, to provide a sound currency for the peo-
ple, is entitled to the candid consideration of all who appreciate
the importance of a sound national currency to the present
wants and future prosperity of the country.
Resolved, That view ing the financial condition of the country in
relation to the proper dignity and efficiency of our Republican
Government, we consider our Congress now assembled to be under
the solemn responsibility of promptly imposing such duties upon
imports as shall not only put an end to the miserable and expensive
policy of borrowing from year to year for ordinary expenditures,
but also provide means for the punctual payment of such a debt
as present exigencies may compel us to contract for the pur-
pose of putting the country in a state of self-protection and
fence favourable to the fair adjustment of existing difficulties
with foreign powers.
Resolved, That we deem it the duty of Congress to give
this indispensable measure their first and highest consideration
—suffering it neither to be restricted by false principles of eco-
nomy, which the fisturo ever shows to be the most improvident,
nor deterred by frivolous and humiliating controversy ; and
further, that any attempt. wheresoever it may originate, or
whatever purpose designed, to postpone the great currency
question to future sessions, and to mingle such momentous
questions of national security and honour with future political
struggles, will receive,. as it will deserve, the unqualified repro-
bation and universal indignation of the people. And finally,
we invoke the spirit of forbearance, of concession, and of pa-
triotism to preside over the deliberations of Congress, and to
secure such results as will strengthen the bonds of union, re-
store quiet to our harassed and suffering people, and set at
work those elements which, unrestrained by factious designs,
would restore our beloved country to its former prosperity.
RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS IN PHILA-
DELPHIA.
PIIILADCLPHIA MARCH 18, r.m.—At a meeting of De-
legates from the different banks of the city and county of Phi-
ladelphia, it was (with the exception of the Manufacturers' and
Mechanics' and Moyamensing Banks) resolved to resume specie
payments immediately, which resolution was put in execution
fully, with the exception of the above named institutions, that
were run upon yesterday, and closed their doors this morning ;
the latter issued a circular, setting forth her situation and abi-
lity to meet her liabilities.
A considerable run was made on the Northern Liberty Bank
and the Farmers and Mechanics Bank, most of the applicants
were for small amounts; the sum drawn from the lattet, I
believe, did not exceed 20,000 dol., from the Philadelphia
Bank 10,000 dol., and received in deposits 8,000 dol., the
Bank of North America only about 3,000 dol. ; others I have
not learned, but from appearances I should judge that but very
small sums were withdrawn.
There was but one sale made at the Stock Exchange, and
prices did not vary ; in Exchanges there was considerable alte-
ration. Sight drafts on New York are quoted at par to it per
cent. premium ; on Baltimore par to per cent. discount.

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.
MA RCIT 19.—A better feeling was manifested at the Stock
Exchange this morning—the sales were to a considerable ex-
tent at an improvement on yesterday's quotations. Ohio Six
per Cents. advanced 4 per cent. ; Indiana Bonds, lA ; Dela-
ware and Hudson, 4; Harlem, IA per cent. ; Canton Com-
pany, per share ; and Long Island RR. per cent.
The general appearance of the Money Market remains un-
changed. We perceive no indications of improvement. No
material alteration either is to be perceived on the Stock Ex-
change. The banks take all the short paper of good character
offered them. The rate in the Street on notes at long date is
from 10 to 15 per cent. Failures both here and in Boston
occur too frequently, which is not to be wondered at consider-
ing the continued depression which pervades the prices of most
articles of merchandise.
Foreign Exchanges have been rather declining; the present
rate shows our currency is more than equivalent to gold and
silver in Europe ; these being about 2 per cent. in our favour.
Our quotations are for first-rate city bills. Southern are from
ito per cent. lower.
Not much has been done during the week in Inland Ex-
changes. The rate on Philadelphia is now reducectio the
specie standard there.
FROM BUENOS AYRES.
The following letter from our Correspondent at Buenos
Ayres, brought by the brig Falco at this port, is more than a
week later than our last advices direct from that Republic, and
contains several important facts :
Munroe AYRES, JAN'. 4. 1842.—Since ray, last another
action has occurred between the opposing fleets in this river.
It is said to have taken place in the North Channel, near Point
Indio. I have seen no official account of it. Admiral Brown's
vessel has returned here with some damage to her hull, and
landed the dead and wounded, Commodore Coe has arrived
at Monte Video, where some dissatisfaction exists, because ho
did not succeed in taking Browr, and a Court-Martial is
talked of.
General Echague has resigned the gubernatorial chair in
Entre Rios, and has come to Buenos Ayres. General Urguiza
succeeds him in the command of that province. Governor
Lopez, of Santa Fe, has joined the league with Corrientes and
the Banda Oriental.
Some fears are expressed that Urguiza may go over to it.
The annual message of the Executive of this Province to the
Legislature, appeared on the Ist inst. In a hasty reading I
find the following content s:—
A disposition to cultivate peace with foreign nations. Notice
of, and refusal to admit offers of mediation between this Go-
vernment and the Banda Oriental made by both France and
England. Congratulations to Queen Victoria on the birth of
her son; to Louis Philippe on The escape of his sons from
assassination ; expressions of sorrow for the death of President
Harrison, and of regard for his memory. Gen. Alvear, Minister to
Washington, was pressing the claims of the Republic, of the satis-
factory adjustment of which, by a nation so illustrious as the
United States, there could be no doubt. A determination is
expressed to reduce the obstinacy and perversity of the Pro-
vince of Corrientes and the President of the Banda Oriental,
to revolutionize their governments, and set up others less
" savage" and more civilized. Reasons for, breaking up the
Jesuits and closing their doors—viz. because their establish •
ment did pot answer the expectations of either Government
or people ' • public opinion is represented as driving them
off. The Pope had been duly informed of the proceeding by
the Executive. Financial statements, making or renewing the
paper money (which is pronounced a very expensive affair),
and the Budget for 1842, by which it appears that during the
year a deficit in the Treasury is expected to arise of 13.530,782
dollars and 7ls reals. No plan is proposed to liquidate it, or
make it up, but is left to a successor and the enlightened Legis-
lature to devise ways and means.
The message closes with a formal and final resignation of
Governor Rosas, and an earnest request that the Representa-
tives would select from the good and virtuous of the Province,
another person to rule the country. This document is written
in the name of Arana, the Deputy-Governor, and for bom-
bastic expression, is worthy of a Chinese Emperor and a
middle-of-the-world position.
It is the ruling opinion that no new election will take place,
and that no one but General Rosas has the capacity to govern
this people.

EMIGRATION.—In the course of the last week the
early American ships, which go by the name of " the first
spring fleet," sailed from the Broomielaw, and, in consequence,
the business bustle which was noticed at this portion of our
locality has been somewhat lessened. They carry for the most
part general cargces, of large aggregate value. Amongst the
fleet are dispersed a considerable number of emigrants, all of
whom, with the exception of the cabin passengers, are of the
humbler orders, belonging principally to the small towns and
villages in the neighbourhood. —Cakdonian Mercury.
