Mr. PALMER-l understand there is So
cieiy in Natchez called the sNighi Howliug
Society," whase business it is to parade the
streets during the dead hour of night; shout
ing and singing songs; and it is said that
several ef The members have already ac-
quired considerable celebrity ia the way Of
their vocation. Il would be a pity ihat our
patriotic and enierprisiug village should be
outdnne in any thing by any Of our neigh
bors; and as there arc a number cf young
men here, who are PARTICULARLY qualified to
Distinguish themselves in that way, would
suggeslthc idea that they should forthwith
organise themselves into society, to be
called The Rooney Night Howling Socie-
w. elect their officers, and form consti-
tuition I'D sy-laws, for their future govern
monf. The business might, in that way, be
egularly conductod-and that the quiet
part Of our citizens might not in future, be
elarmod by any unusual and .hideous noise
at night, these meetings should be announc-
ed before hand. The members should
wear some badge Of distinction, and as me-
rit is always rewarded, he who could howl
the loudest and sing the most obscene song,
should be their President.
This society might also be made to an
swer another valuable purpose. The busi-
ness of Lynching, which has not heretofore
been set apart as the duty of any particular
portion of our citizens, might in future, be
conferred on them--thus combining utility
with their rccreations.

THE MONEY MARKET,-The confidence
among commercial and monied men which
has been so rudely shaken, is, we are hap.
py to say, returning, aud yesterday the mo-
ney market assumed Il far moro cheering
appearance. Two or three small failures
took place, tut none of any consequence.
Money was obtained on better terms, and
some descriptions of stocks took consider
able rise.
In conformity with an arrangement made,
we are Informed one million of dollars are
abort 10 be shipped from Philadelphia to
England. They were obtained from.lho U.
States Bank
On the other hand, we are sorry to OBJ
serve that another instament Of the French
indemnity has been received in specie by
the SullY from Hayre. This specie was no
doubt originally drawn from the Bank Of
England: it increases the embarrassment
there, which rebounds with ten fold force
on us. We say nothing Of the loss which
results from this operation, which is atlcast
5 per cent.
