heavy and numerous. The Boston Courier of
April "a says, "it is hardly possible,to give
correct account of the state of affairs in this city
All sorts of business seems to be at stop, and
each seems afraid of his neighbor. The fail
ure Of three very large houses on Saturday,
caused a great deal of excitement" We have
accounts since, Of large number of suspensions
in that city. The New York Commercial Adj
vertiser says :--"No relief, yet, in the money
market, and indeed no prospect ahead. Ycster-
day the names Of several extensive dealers were
added to the long list of unfortunates; in all
probability many will follow in the same train"
We have accounts of numerous extensive fail
ures the week past in New York, one OF which
was broker for upward of thirteen Millions
Philadelphia seems to suffer less than either
Boston or New York, and Baltimore less still.
A New Orleans letter of April ID, says, 'the
bankruptcy goes on rapidly. One house has
failed since my last, for Is millions, another for
q millions, another for one, and Others Tor
smaller amounts-n all not less than TWENTY
SEVEN MILLIONS in too days. And this is not
all. Every house in the city must go. This
is no fancy sketch. Those well acquainted
koyTr the secrets =. ~ Orleans commerce are
bold in asserting that nothing now can save the
city,"
| A gentleman who left Boston on Tuesday
morning, reports 90 failures on Monday, in that
city.
| CALHOUN AND PREsroE's SPEEoHEs.-We
present this weeks some extracts from the speech
es of the S. c. Senators, delivered at public
dinner in Charleston, on their return from
| Washington. Mr. Preston'sremarks must have
afforded much amusement to his auditors, and
will abundantly repay our readers for the peru
sal of them, which is more than we can say of
all such productions. Mr. Calhoun sufficiently
demonstrates the propriety of opposition to the
present administration. Ii is well known that
Mr. Van Buren, is pledged to carry out the
measures of his predecessor; and the truth is,
the system which we are now called upon to
oppose under his administration, is but the con-
tinuation of that which the Wing party have
so strenuously resisted under Gen. Jackson;-
hence, - be consistent, we must adhere to our
opposition. We are not among the number Of
those who, as they say, although they never
were Jackson men, yet are ready most zeal
ously to espouse the cause of Van Buren,,
who has solemnly made known his determine
ton to continue the very measures which but
little while since, they publicly and privately de-
clared. to begin their opinions, of most ruin
Gus tendency.
| OBIrUARIEs.-We are frequently requested
to publish obituary articles Of considerable
length, but we have uniformly declined doing
so. True we sometimes admit a fec lines in
connection with the notice of a death, but
should we open our columns to heightened obit-
\ uaries, we should soon be well nigh overwhelm-
led by them. II one is admitted, all must be;
and as we presume such articles aresedom read
except by the friends and acquaintance Of the
deceased, who least need the information they
contain, while 10 the majority Of our readers,
each individual notice possess little interest, we
have desided to decline their insertion altogeth-
err. We hope our friends will, on reflection, see
the reasonableness of this course, and the i'm
propriety of occupying considerable portion
of a secular paper, with such articles
Snow IN ApRIL.-A gentleman who came
passenger in the stage from Albany this ,oeek,
informs us that for sixteen miles of the distance,
across the Green Mountains, the sleighing ,cas
delightful In one place the stage overlook a
team, set in the snow, which was more than
two feet deep, and the passengers were obi
ged to get out and assist in treading down the
snow, before passage could be effected. The
people there had not yet had green peas, and
the market was bare Of all early vegetables!
! EMIGRATIoN.-The whole number of pas
sengers which arrived in the United States in
1886, was 81 ,OOO-of which 81, 900 were males,
and $4,000 females; 1000 citizens of the u S.
and $1,000 foreigners-of whom were natives
of Great Britain and Ireland, 5000; Germany
10000.
MORALS OF New ORLEAEs.--In an account
of the measures taken in New Orleans in re-
gard to the relief of the money market, we no.
tice that the Presidents of all the Banks were to
meet every Sunday morning, at nine O'Clock,
to devise proper modes Of action for the Banks,
and more fully to know their respective condi-
ton.
