contains an article on the carrages-the splendid
goods-thc accomplished clerks-the beautiful ladies

opinion are among the most remarkable phenomena

York failures, published not to nure individuals but
TO give illustration Of the terrible pressure in the
mercantile word-a pressure in which every one is
interested, and by which almost every one suffers,
the young gentlemen at Sewerts, and particularly
the one whose ringleis excite so much admiration on
the part of the fair ladies' have not felt particularly
friendly towards either the Herald or Chronicle.
