SCENES IN NEW YORK.

PUBLIC DISTRESS.--The distress in the mo-
ney market, and particularly among the most m
dusirious and responsible OF our mechanics has not
been equalled a, any period II we cannot remedy
The evil We shall, in day or two. look into the
cause Of IT, and endeayor, if possible, to trace II TO
It's source. At present il will be sufficient to say,
hat the refusal 10 take the notes OF good country
anks by the city banks, has nearly destroyed the
usiuess Of New York. No goods can be sold, and
retailers will not venture TO purchase. Notes OF
substantial country banks, are selling at immense
discounts to brokers in consequence oil want OF
staple currency, which the city banks must estab
Iish. We understand that nine OF the city banks
agreed to continue taking notes Of country banks #
one more would concur; but the following refused:-
The Branch Bank Of the United States, the New
York, Phenlx, Fulton, Union, and Mahattan Banks.
The Branch Bank never entered into the original
arrangements but has. in connection with promi-
nent banking house, made some interest to produce
this state OF things
The city banks we believe received the notes ol
about .ffty country banks or had accounts with
those banks, and in consequence OF the failure oil
tour or five they pronounce the whole bad, when
only one or two which have failed were redeemed
by the committee Of the banks
Country merchants are compelled to carry back
money which they brought here to pay their debts
with, for purchases, or TO meet their notes. Mer-
chants and mechanics cannot afford to lose the dis
count established by brokers, and the country pur
chasers also afford to sustain their loss there
fore they carry h,me the good money brought dowr
/ to the city. This deranges the wholesome curten
If business and produces The distress and ruin which
cnsue. Our merchants and mechanics must be sus
! tained and means must be found 10 do this. Nor

reclining my head on its side, sometimes looking
wards the DESERT sometimes fixing my eyes on the
ruins around me, abandoned myself to profound
reverie. Here, said l, here city of ustrious fame
once fourished. Yes these places now SO lonely,
an active people once animated numerous popu-
lace once thronged the streets now so solitary -
within these enclosures, where dread silence reigns,
fortune had established her votaries in robes of fes
tivity and joy. Here were placed the temples of
the Gods, and here thousands offered up their tri
butte of gratitude to the authors of their happiness
and power An industrious commerce introduced
into these markets the riches and the Injuries of
every cline.
And now what exists of this once extensive and
fourshing metropolis : mere shadow shape
less skeleton. Behold Palmyra which once rival
led the power Of Roman greatness, only vain and
obscure remembrance now renders it the homage
of respect. To the noisy assembly, which filled
these piazzas, has succeeded solitude of death

dor of courts and the simplicity of domestic life

TRANSLATED FROM yOLNEY's TRAVELS,
RUINS OF PALMYRA.

The sun had just set; his retiring ray still illu-
mined the western horizon, while the mountains Of
Syria seemed to mourn his decayed splendor.-
The full moon in the east had risen the shores of
Euphrates, and proudly marching through the
blue expanse of the heavens the sky was clear,
the air calm and serene; the fading brightness the
day allayed the gloom of darkness; the gentle
breezes of the evening served to cool the orching
sands of the earth; the shepherds had driven home
their aocks the eye could not perceive single
movement throughout the dark and lonely plain;
deep silence reigned nothing was heard save the
doleful cries of the nightingale and .jackall, who
sometimes disturbed the solemnity of nature. The
night was fast approaching, and the eye could dis
tnguish only the whitsh columns and walls. These
solitary places; this majestic scene, rendered still
more ma estic by the shades that encircled it, in
spired my mind with solemn impressions The ap-
pearance of a great city in ruins; the memory of
times past the awful contrast now presented all ele-
waited my heart to thoughts the most sublime. l

IDEAS OF PERSONAL BEAUTY.

When Mr.. Park was at Boudoun in Africa, the
king of the country, sitting mat with two of his
attendants, having conversed some time with him,
and received his presents, observed, that his
men were very DESTROYS of seeing the zuhite man,
and requested that he would pasof them visit. 'An
attendant says Mr. Park, 'was then ordered to
conduct me; and had no 500 entered the court
appropriated to the LADIES' than the whole of them
surrounded me, some begging for physic, some for
amber, and all of them DESTROYS Of trying that great
African specific, blood letting. They were ten Or
twelve in number, most of them young and hand
some, and wearing in their heads ornaments of gold,
and beads Of amber.
They rallied me with good deal of gaety on
different SUBJECTS particularly on the wilderness of
my skin and the prominency Of my nose They IN
sisted that both were artificial The first they said,
was produced when was an infant, by dipping me
IN milk and they insisted that my nose had been
piached every day. till it had acquired its present un
siehtIy and unnatural conformation.
sOn my part. without disputing my own defor-
nifty, paid them many compliments African
beauty. l praised the glossy jet Of their skins,
and the lovely depression of their noses; but they
said that hattery Or Gas they emphatically termed
it) honey mouth, not esteemed in Boudoun-
In return, however, for my company, or my compli-
ments, to which, by the way, they seemed not SO in
sensible as they affected to be, they presented me

his dark drapery at intervals, betrayed that the
poor little fellow possessed with some secret
grief that forbade repose. "The little varlet is cry
ing for his SUPPER" thought the Englishman with
some contempt for this degeneracy of the I" stoick
of the woods
"Well, poor devil, will not punish you farther
for your mischievous prank" with this, he good
naturedly raised the boy, and pointing down the
stairway called to the steward to take of him,
and then resumed his perambuations but he
arrested by hearing q violent clamor in the
deck cabin above which he was walking, and which
was appropriated to the ladies. On descending to
inquire what had thus disturbed the fair voyagers,
he discovered the steward dragging along the luck
less Indian Boy, who had gnorantly, as it seemed,
strayed into the forbidden apartment. $50, no
my little gentleman, it seems necessary to keep
sharp look out upon you ;'-then stepping forward
to rescue the afrighted boy from the stewards
rough grip, he motioned him down stairs. "March
down,-down, say, you young rogue will take
care that you play no more tricks to night"
On reaching his cabin, he kicked his valise into
a corner and flung rug over it. "There-bunde
yourself up as fast you cam" making signs he
spoke, Ca better bed I'll warrant than buffalo
skin and log in your own dirty wigwarn." The boy,
who stood hanging his head in terror, now did as
he directed, and closely rolling himself, head
and all, in the rug, was soon asleep.
The Englishman returned again to the deck -
but finding that the night air was becoming uncom-
fortably damp and chilling, and the pale waning
moon stealing the eastern waste Of waters, re-
minding him that it late, he soon resought his
cabin and threw himself into his birth for the night.

scene and music was nsensiby resorted to, as if
were the natural expression of the high-wrought
emotions of the hour
twas first suggested by the apparently vocal me-
citation of an interesting girl, whose mild pallid ea-
lures displayed no inconsiderable share of beauty,
as she leaned the railing with an air Of sweet
abstraction, murmurng in suppressed voice of
melody some lines from little song of Moore's.-
Othersongs of more elaborate execution then follow
ed our foreigner possessed fine deep voice which
harmonized well in duet, and they sang together:
his flute was then produced, and he accompanied
the fair vocalist in some sweet love strains "If mu-
sic be the food of love !" who doubts it when the
voice or touch of harmony ever recurs to the one
sole theme of minstrel lay or bardc thought The
gallant Englishman had been by means chary
of his tender chances as he breathed the SOFT low
accompaniment while the interesting stranger war
bied with artless melody the sweet air of &C Robin

relish those eyebeams, for she now excused herself
from another song, and pleaded her privilege of de-

all, though it seems to mean great deal when,
in the midst of thrilling cadenza accompanied by
glance more love-like than any which preceded
it, the song interrupted by sudden jerk of the
Indian Boy who had followed his protector to the
upper deck, and was lounging lstlessy near with a
scowlng brow, which seemed to say that music has
not charms to soothe the savage breast and at the
same instant the ''gallant gay Lothario" his
flute lightly slirrng the undulating surface of
the water "You little mischievous rascal how
dare you serve me SO p exclaimed the provoked
Englishman, at the same time starting toward him
as if about to inhict summary punishment for the
offence but there something unresisting in
the attitude of the Boy, and such sad beseeching
expression in his deep blue eye, that his protectors
wrath nearly disarmed,-a summons to supper
at that instant completely insured the urchns es-
cape, and the passengers descended to the cabin,
leaving the little Indian in possession Of the upper
deck.
The night breeze was abroad, rufhng the
dark waters of the lake, and whispering around
with low mysterious melody and the stars, gleam-
ing brightly in the depths Of ether, looked down
with ten thousand glorious eyes upon those solitary
yoysgers. Our Englishman, who had returned to the
deck, continued long after the other passengers had
retired to rest to pace to and fro in silent contempa
