view Of learning the actual state Of the
market, | have just visited many of the
manufacturing towns Of Connecticut aud
Massachusetts.
In consequence OF the extensive failures
or suspensions Of many Of the large com.
mission houses in New York. .the manufac-
turers were more or less embarrassed. The
losses Of some were so great as to cause Il
failure, while others, Witnessing the storm
around them, Immediately stopped their
mills and discharged their hands. The
great ma jority of woollen mills are OF this
class, who stopped from expediency, more
than necessity. They have worked all
their wool and finished oil their goods, and
only wait Tor change oil times 10 start
their machinery again.
Nearly every mill has on hand the cloths
manufactured in the last four months, and
they will not be sent to market ill the tall
sales commence, when fair prices will
doubtless be paid.
The ock Of domestic woollen goods in
Philadelphia, New-York, or even in the
country, is not large. There is no difficult
~ from an over-supply. 1t is well know
that there will be few or no woollen goods
imported this season, and our own manu-
lecturers will have the entire benefit Of the
market.
The present state OF affairs prevents the
importation OF either wool or woolen goods,
The duties are required in cash, when i'm
ported, which now amount 10 almost prohi-
bilon. Indeed, since the bursting of the
credit-sysiem, as prac'ised by importers,
goods will hereafter, from necessity, be i'm
ported for cash.
All these things will eventually help our
manufacturers, by giving them The market
OF this country, quite as eiieclualy as by
an extensive tariff Of duties.
The manufacturers ofNew-E England are
by no means broken down or disheartened,
but like prudent men, are holding up for
change Of times. They will do very lit
lie for the next ninety days, but by that
time they win nearly all be at work. II is
evident there will he no demand for wool
till foil, when see no reason why good
prices should not be obtained. II cloths
sell well, wool must do the same.
Every man can make his own nlerences,
but my advice TO wool-growers IL, not TO
dispose Of their wool this summer, but by
all means keep it'll fall. After sbearing,
place it in pile. in clean, dry loft, and
cover it over with blankets, and there keep
il ill business is again resumed. Many
will probably sell at once, for the most they
can get, and thereby deprive themselves OF
a better market, late in the season.

day, and his memory IN this respect is not
veneraled according 10 its desert. Pos
sessing ample means and The most ardent
love of rural life, he was one OF the first ex-

Particular Propidence.-For my own
part fully enter into the sentiment Of an
ancient writer, that il would not be worth
while To live in a world that was not gov
erned by Providence. Nothing is so
!ranquiizing and conaolatory, amid the
shifimgs and fluctuations, and uncertainties
of an inconslant world as the firm belief
that my family End myself are wholly de-
pendent on the seep!ess and unremtted
care of my reconciled God, that he
views with Indifference nothing which can
effect us either with good or with i'll, that
every drop IN the ocean Of means is in his
hand and at his disposal and that he is
making all things work together for our
good. His eye is upon every hour ui my
exislcnce-his spirit intimately present 10
every thought OF my heart. His hand i'm,
presses direction upon every ioot-step OF
nv going. Every breath inhaIe is drawn
in by an energy which God deals out TO
me. This body which upon the slightest
ARRANGEMENT would become the prey Of
death or OF woelul sufieripgs, is now al ease,
because he is at this moment wardlng of
thousand dangers, and unfolding the thou
sand movements oi its complex and DELL
cate machinery. His presiding influence
keeps me through the whole current OF my
restless and changing history. When
walk by the way he is along with me.
When enter into company, amid all my
lorgetlulness of him, he never lorge's me.
In the silent watches of the night when my
eyelGs have closed, and my spirits have
sunk into Inconsistencies, the observant
eve of Him who never slumoers ia upon
me. And the same being who is now at
work in the remoiest dominion OF Nature Il
Providence, is always at my right hand to
exc out every moment Of my being, and to
uphold me in the exercise OF all my iacui~
ties. - Original Memorial
