ANI ERICA.

New York papers to the 30th ult. have been received by the
new packet-ship Garrick, which arrived at Liverpool on Thurs-
day. The scarcity of money continued. Two, and even three
per cent. pei month, is said to have been paid for loans. Seve-
ral failures, some, according to the opposition papers, of con-
siderable houses, had occurred; though the private accounts
state that the failures were confined to those of limited busi-
ness. The Government had, in reply to the memorial of ade
putation of gentlemen from the merchants of New York, stat-
ed its inability to comply with the request contained in the me-
morial,—namely, to hermit the money in the deposit banks to
he issued for the relief of the trading classes. The exchange
remained as at the previous advices. The United States Bank
shares were IHM.

THE SIONEY MARKET.

The past week has been one of se,..e74ressure upon almost
every business-man in the community. Encouraged by the
hope that the Secretary of the Treasury would do something to
relieve or lessen the pressure, stocks on Monday and Tuesday
advanced a little. The hope, however, of relief from the Trea-
sury department was soon found to he false, and everything, if
possible, is worse than it was a week since. The rates of inte-
rest are very high, and confidence materially impaired. Some
of our heaviest firms, unable to contend with the storm, have
been compelled to yield to it, notwithstanding their means were
abundant to meet all their demands. Our banks have been
compelled to he more rigid than usual in the demands, it having
become necessary to square up their accounts and curtail most
of their business. Wail-street fur the whole week has been
flooded with the best notes in the city at 2, 21, and in some
cases-8 per cent. a-month. We see no immediate prospect of
relief in our money affairs, unless it emanates front Washing-
ton. We have heard it rumoured that our rulers intend to
punish to the fullest extent in their power the whole commer-
cial and mercantile community for demanding the passage of
the Distribution Bill.

DESTRUCTION OF THE NEM THEATRE IN CINCINNATI.
( From the Cincinnati inig)
The splendid new Theatre in Third-street, in this city, be-
longing to 111 r. James 11. Caldwell, of New Orleans, is burnt to
the ground. It took fire this morning about half-past eight
o'clock, by the carelessness of the person who had charge of
the lamps. Its a few seconds the whole interior of the building
was in flames, and such was the extraordinary rapidity of their
progress, that ID about 15 or 20 minutes, the whole building
was destroyed, together with all its contents, including a large
quantity of valuable and magnificent scenery, and a quantity
of theatrical dresses, the latter mostly belonging to the different
actors.
Ono man is missing, and is supposed to buried under the
ruins.
