FREMONT THEATRE.-WILLIAMP PELBY,
Esq. late manager of this dramatic establish
mcnt, has Withdrawn, and the house has gone
to company OF gentlemen, who, says the Bos-
ton Commercial Gazette, will conduct it on
their own account.
That Mr.. Pclby had thrown up the lease Of
the fremont Theatre, we were appriscd some
time ago, but as our friends in Boston who
pretend to know all and every thing, denied
the fact, and called us by hard names, we, to
appcase their laccrated hearts, "took back"
what VIC stated in relation to the subject, but
like a very worthy citizen of this town, We
thought recisely as we did before the recan-
| tation. AS we arc determined to have things
stated as they should be, we now record the
! important fact, that Mr. Pelby has given up
| the management. We beg the American
| Traveller to make the same assertion, and tc
inform the world that the event has not caus.t
| any particular sensation in the world, and tina
the earth revolves as 'tis its custom 10, ano
the tides flow. and tho winds blow, with Al
much system and correctness as they did, pre-
vious 10 an event Of so much importance. w,
congratulate Mr. Pelby, and hope that ho vii
find in his retirement great good fortune, warn
hearted friends, and pleasing employments.-
We recommend that he reward the editor o
the American Traveller for his invaluable la
bors that he pay up his salaries, get TO
monastery, and never moro tread the stagc
If he listens TO us, and accepts of our odv;c
we shall DC satisfied; If he scorns 10 do SO W
shall not complain, nor shall we on that az
count, tear all the hair out Of our heads, out (
sheer spleen and anguish.

SCARCITY OF MoNEY.-The pressure for
money, which has bcel increasing through out
the country for some weeks past, produced its
dreaded effects in this vicinity about "A week
since, by causing several heavy failures at Do
yer and at this place.-Thc ultimate cause of
the distress was the immense Investments
which one or two individuals had made in prop
erty which was not Immediately convertible in
to cash and in large speculations in various
sor s of property altogether beyond the means
Of the persons concerned accident had eau
sed proportion Of this property to doprccate
in value, and had therefore impaired The credit
Of the individuals referred TO we believe we
may say tho iadiDiduai referred to, tor the
wide spread ruin can be traced to the opera
tions of one person, in whose integrity inn
pbct confidence was reposcd in this commu-
nifty, and who, we still hope, will be found
worthy Of it.-Therc is seeming nGclicacy
in referring to transaction, Of this sort in the
public papers, but We consider il OF great con-
sequence that the public should be rightly in
formed as to the cause Of the late calamites,
and that the alarm, which during the past
week had well nigh shaken and overturned
public confidence should be fully and finally dis
sipalcd. -P0rtsmouM JoUrn0i

Ths hard $40 OF John Harris md his 40 less
unfortunate & sssociates, who fell victims to the
sangunary eiicts of General Jackson. is not c
subject which we like TO contemplate. We
must however do our duty to the Militia of the
country--and to do so, we present the facts
which are now rocited, and commend them to
tho especial consideration and attentive perus-
al Of the Militia ofthe Nation. The sanguna-
ry execution Of the six Militia men, should
never be forgotten, and the American people,
whose rights and happiness are somewhat CEN
tered in the uifimatum, Of the Presidential
election, should remember the transa elton,
and utter their unmingled adherence for him

SO abhorrent TO the mind OF the christian.

The sudden and unexpected failure Of Il
Banker and Broker of this town-which event
occurred last Monday morning, produced an
excitement, that has never been witnessed by
the citizens of Providence. The total amount
failed for is not now known, but is computed
to be from two to three hundred thousand dol
lars. The mere failure Of our wcalthiest cap
i'tlists, would not have produced half the eff
feet, though the amount might have been
larger:-and what renders the case unusually
distressing, is the fact, that that portion of The
community, who are the least able to sustain
a loss, are the sufferers.
The calamity falls principally on the heads
Of INDECENT widows, poor and industrious young
girls, who had by their incessant toings,
saved little, aud had hoped to sec it accu-
mulate.
The sufferers woro seen, forming little clubs
in the streets, all day on Monday, each anx-
ious TO know, if something could net be saved
from the wreck Of ruin, and each lamenting
his hard fortune. Taken collectively, they
have formed a multitude, and more discon-
solate and abject multitude, was never pre-
sented to the eye of our ciizons.
Whilst VIC most sincerely sympaihize with
all who have suffered, it is far from our inten-
ton TO say one word, calculated to excite the
angry feelings of the hundreds, and wc cannot
but hope, that they who have thus been blightcd
in their hopes, and seen their gains sunk with
the wreck of ruin, will fairly and cordially in
vestgate the causes which led to the calami-
ty, before they pronounce judgement.
We are all liable to mislortunes we should
sustain them with fortitude and manlness
though we know that every passion is awak-
ened and called into action, when we bohod
our money sinking in the gulph, and our fami
lies reduced to pcnury and want. 1t is to be
hoped, that more than an ordinary dividend
will be paid, and we congratulate the sufferers
that the effects of the bankrupt are placed il
the hands of a gentleman distinguished for his
talents as n financier, and in whose honorable
conduct and faithful discharge Of the trust.
committed TO him, every confidence may b,
! placed.
