1t is said that no less than thirty bodies were left

! Specie is arriving at New Orleans in large quant
ties. One hundred and eight thousand five hundred
and thiry-six dollars arrived there from Mexico on
| the 9th.
| Private letters from Mexico inform us, that tran
guilty prevails throughout the capital, and that the
| government composed of men Of property, will make
every effort restore order to the finances The most
severe measures have been taken by the minister Of
| Finance, Lebrega, to stop smuggling, and already
have their execution resulted in great confscanons at
Vera Cruz. II is believed that the Custom Houses at
Tampice and Matamoras will put stop to the llct
traffic that has hitherto been allowed and in which
the hoase of Rubo, through the favorltsm OF Santa
| Anna, participated largely

colonel and an officer had perlshed in their pursuits

PArSrrscs.-several splendid paintings are now
exhibiting in town. At Stuyvesant's Institute is the
famous painting of Don Juan. We have seen this,
and ad that portions of it, particularly the re-
presen alton of Lambro is admirable
The proprietor has also gem of painting repre-
senting Crcassian slave-one of the most exquisite
things we ever saw This, however, the piety of the
directors of the Institute will not permit TO be exhib-
ited We learn that the directors have taken this
course in consequence of recent discovery that they
were on the edge of hell fire. Some of them thought
that the drapery of the fair Crcassan too scanty
and that there was no warrant in the Bible for short
pettcoats.
Who are the directors of the Institute? We must
inquire into their moral tastes
u cannot accept any more invitations to din
ner.

party, than all the other accidents put together.
BANKRUPT LAw-REsuMINo SPECIE PAYMENTS
We learn that public meeting is getting up for the
purpose Of petitioning Congress to enact Bankrupt
Law having reference exclusively to banks and bank
ing associations.
Itbesns now to be believed by many that the banks
never intend to resume specie payments-but that
they will continue their dishonest practices as Tonga
the state legislatures will permit them. New, it is
we'll known that the state legislatures will never stop
them, because the banks always possess the control
in these bodies Of cheats.
A SERENADE-On Wednesday night, or rather
yesterday morning. while was dreaming of the
" days of o lang syne," was walked up with sweet
meodious music, which proceeded from a splendid
band, under my window. The serenade commenced
with the Blue Bells O. Scotland they played seve-
raj other old airs, and closed with the lively, light
some, blightsomo Hieland Laddie." The moon
was shining Bright was half asleep, and magma
ton transported to the romantic hills, the pictu-
rescue crags, the classical wales Of another land.
Understand il was Willis Brass Band, employed
at Castle Garden, who, after the benefit for the
orphans had closed, came 70 my window 10 play the
closing strain.
Thanks good fellows! thanks
II The opening of Centre street is making great
progress.
