FT0m 110HQn6.-I0e QlSLr68Sl0R account O1 the failures in New Orleans and New York, has created the greatest consternation among our merchants; particularly those trading with the United States. Bills on New York could not be negotiated yesterday at 6 per cent. discount, and even at ' 1-2 DO one would take them.
 | The fear is so great that no sugar or coffee will be shipped to the U. States. Should your merchants wish for any, they must send the doubloons or else they will get none.- The shipments will now be made for Europe, and freight for that part has risen. Several vessels were chartered for the North of Eu- rope at "A los, ,to'call at Cowes.
 Money is getting scarce, and business is generally dull. By the Norma to sail soon, lshaH write you.more fully.
 MT. We6ster-We understand his inten- ton to be, to leave Boston about the first of May, with his family, for the west, with view of informing himself by personal ob- Servation, of the wealth and resources of the vast transmotane region belonging to thisre- public. He will proceed from New York to Philadelphia, thence to Harrisburg, and thence to Pittsburgh. Descending the Ohio to Kentucky, he will visit MT. Clay and Nr. Crittenden. From thence he will probably drop farther down the great water course to St. Louis. Returning to Cincinnati, he will strike off thence through the States of Indiastr4 and Illinois, thence 10 Wisconsin, and ther A home by the way of the great lakes. It i .N splendid tour which he proposes and &r friends at the west may reply upon it, that nothing worthy of the observation of a states man, Will escape his attention.-N. Y Com Cure For Uru7akenneSs.-A man in Mary. land, notoriously addicted to this vice, hear ing an uproar in his kitchen one evening, had the curiosity to step without noise to the door to hear what was the matter, when he beheld his servants indulging in the most unbound cd roars ot laughter at a couple of his negro boys, who were mimicking himself in his drunken fits; showing how he reeled and staggered how he looked and nodded, and hiccupped, and tumbled. The pictures which these children of nature drew of him, and which filled the rest with so much merriment, struck him so forcibly that he became per- tectly sober man, to the unspeakable ioy of his wife and Western pa.
 A degraded parent-A we'll known friend ot Temperance informs us that as he was passing along one of our frequcnted streets a few evenings since, he saw we'll dressed man part from little boy, and with stay here, l shall be back in few minutes enter cd noted bar-room. The child burst into tears. Our informant approached him, and asked the cause of his sorrow. The boy, who was bright and intelligent, and about seven or eight years of age, answered that has father had gone into that bar-room to get something to drink, that he had already call ed at two or three places, and that he did not like to have him go into bar-rooms. The son was evidently sensible of the moral deg radiation of his father. In few minutes, the father came out-a man in the prime of life, and blending with the marks of intemper- ance on his countcnance, the signs of intelli- gence and talent. His clothes on one side were covered with mud, furnishing abundant proof that he had previously been drinking deep at the fountain of alcohol-and as he took his weeping son by the hand, he stagger- cd and dragged him with him into tho mid de of the street-with difficulty he rcgained the sidewalk, and bent his tortuous course towards his home.-B0Ston Journal.
 Couse and Efect.-A Matches paper gives, with every dcath tho name of the physician who olliciated. A good plan.
 Failures Among Shoe Dealers.-The last Lynn Record contains thirteen or fourteen Assignecs' notices of the shoe-dealers in that town. The Record states that they are not all bona fide failures, but in the present state of the currency, they are unable to meet their liabilities, and assigned their prop erty to enable them to settle their concerns without making too great pecuniary sacri- flee. Quite number of failures of Shoe dealers have taken place in Brookfefd.- All but one have gone, we understand, ln North Brookfeld. Leather and Shoe Deal- CTS are very much affected in almost all quarters. They are extensively engaged in Southern trade, and southern remttanccs have been very uncertain.-Hamp. Gaz.
 Failures are occurring all over the Coun- try. The Shoe Manufacturers in Worcester County and in Lynn have suffered severely by some of the bankruptcies in New York; The Paper Mills and Woollen and Cotton Manufacturing establishments in this vicini- ty as we'll as large mechanic shops, are all curtailing their business and reducing the number of their hands.-NorthGmpto Cou. Rnilrodd-Orders were received here the latter part of Hast week from head quarters at New ork, for the suspension of all operations upon this great work for the present.. Accordingly all the field Bands, or those mustered, paid of and discharged. No reasons are made public for this step, but it is generally attributed to the severe pressure of the money market.
