NEW YORK, April %.
Another week is over, and such a
week, again and againl The suffering,
mental and bodily, of this unhappy CT
ty is beyond description. Men reno
we'd from it, and above it, may laugh
att, but what amuses them is death to
us. -,----..
Anorder was received this morning
from the Department at Washington to
enforce the collection of all bonds un-
paid at the Customshouse of suspended
merchants, without delay. Quem Deu,
cuH perdere, &c.-you know the rest.
Does the Government wish to stimulate
an outraged population to the verge of
rebellion trust not. I hope not.
But what hard-hearted, reckless, ex-
tortionate course is this! First break
the merchants, and then ruin them in
courts Of law! Is this the policy2
Stocks had a spaws upwards to-day.
1t is but spasm. Saturday is a day
which usually forms certain operations
at the Board of Brokers--too long to
explain-a day when stocks Jump up"
little.
There are sad rumors in circulation
here about one of the deposite banks,
whose officers, Ut S. Said, have very
freely loaned tobrokefs, instead of their
Observation-Disclosures who shaue some
times. L do not feel at liberty to give
names now, for the details Of which /
may not be perfectly accurate about.
The anti-aboGtionists-one or two
of them-particularly one, who has
been dismissed from office by the May
or for an "afair" in Savannah, are ma
king an attempt to have a meeting, and
to have a bit Of riot in the Park to-
night. They may succeed. The
weather is warm, and ''the loafers" in
New York have nothing to do but to
take drop, and to be happy on Satur-
day night. The city authorities, how
ever, are forewarned. Scream loudly
in and about the Park on Saturday
night, and little army of people viii
be around you.
On Monday sails the Liverpool pac-
ket Of the LIST. From 10 to Upper cent.
is the premium for bills on London.
English sovereigns sell for five dollars,
and little more.
A subcommittee Of fifteen from the
fifty will leave here on Monday for
Washington.
1t is rumored that by the failure of the great
Tennessee house of Yeatman, Wood & Co.,
General Jackson is a severe sufferer, and that
he had loaned his name to relation closely
connected with land speculations, to the a.

measures.
GA merchant in Lexington, (Missouri.)
thus writes to his. correspondent in Philadel-
phia
II will have funds in your hands in
time, hope, to meet all my engage
ments. The celebrated Specie Circu-
lar oflast year causes US great deal Of
trouble, although it operates with US
very differently from what it does with
you. Here we have superabundanco
of specie, caused by our emigrants
bringing specie, instead of U. States
Bank notes, as they formerly did. We
therefore find it a very difficult matter
to get Eastern funds that will be at par
in your city. My neighbors are send
ing specie to St. Louis by steamboat,
finding it impossible to get bank notes
that will answer and when this specia
reaches st. Louis, they will find it very
difficult to get checks on Philadelphia
or New York, even at two per cent
premium"
Distress at Glasgosc.-We regret to
learn that some ofthe largest manufac-
