New York papers to the 30th ult. have been received by the
new picket-ship Garrick, which arrived at Liverpool on Thurs-
day. The scat( ity of money continued. Two, and even three
per cent. per mouth, is said to have been paid for loans. Seve-
ral failures, some, according to the opposition papers, of con-
'siderahle 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 permit the money in the deposit banks to
be issoed for the relief of the trading classes. The exchange
remained as at the previous advices. The United States Bank
shares were 11-1,1/4i.

THE MONEY IOtIKKET.

The past week has been oue of severe pressure 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,
adyaitecd a little..: The hope, however, of relief from the Trea-
sury department was soon bound to be 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 hoatitits, firms, unable to contend with the storm, have
been compelled to yield to it; notwithstanding their means Were
"undant to meet all their demands. Our banks have been
e,,,npOled 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 for the whole week has been-
flooded with. the best notes in the city at 2. 21. and in some
cases 3 per cent. a-morth. We see no immediate prospect of
relief in our money affairs, unless, it emanates front Washing-
ton. WP hate httrfl it rumoured that our rulers intend to
punish to the fnhlest extent in their power the whole commer-
vial and mercantile community for demanding the passage of
the Distribution Bill.

The splendid new Theatre in Tiord-stieet, in this city, be-
longing to Mr. James El. Caldwell, of New Orleans. is burnt to
the ground; It
_took fire tuis in,,rning about half-past eight
o'clock, by the carelessness of the person who had charge of
the hows. In a few seconds the whole interior of the building
was in flames, and sorb was the extraordinary rapidity of their
progress, that in about 15 or 20 minutes, the whole building'
was destroyed. together with all its contents, including a lame
quantity of valuable and magnificent scenery, and a quanAty
or theatrical dresses, the latter mostly belonging to the different
actors.
