In consequence of the lateness of the hour yester
terday and the laryeness Of morning editienr we
had not time to nscrt the markets received by me
Roscoe to the oath. The small edition of the "Cou.
rer gave it, therefore, that advantage but the aggre
gate beat is four vessels and in this beat we include
also their reverences of the Journal OF Commences

vered the black sheep. and kicked him out of my
boat.
Now the spring is come, gods! if we don't give the
Courier tug after ship news.
CHANGES OF TIMES AID FoRTySEs.-The begin
ming ofthe end commenced about seventeen months
ago; the seventh seal is row opening, and the social
millennium is close at hand the end OF the finale is
before US the signs whereof are many and various.
In the high and palmy time of real estate, when
lots in the 999th street Of unknown sell
ling at premium Of cent per cent on a'hundred
years purchase, SPECTATORS and fnancers launched
out in style conformable their expectations and
which the facilities of those be forgotten days
brought within their reach. Those the times Of
Venetian mirrors, and Brussels carpets of or molu
ornaments from Paris and of cutlery from Sheffield,
and gigantic furniture from Birmingham, that made
the manufacturers stare, imagining that the Satan
had sent orders for refurnshng all his-palaces, or
that dozen Pachas Of three tails had Just been APP
pointed, and were each about to build and equip Sc
raglo Marble verde antique, scasliola, Carrma, and
Panan was as common paving stones marble
starcases marble washing stands, halls of mosaique,
and stoops smooth ivory, and white as aabaster.
In fact, New York in its fashionable quarters was
quite fairy scene, where taste reigned predominant
and wealth backed all that Imagination and the very
genus of expense could dictate. Aladdin might have
gone to school to some Of the fashsn and finance of
Wall street, and the Princess Par Banou would have
been but a novice to their wives and daughters.
And famously and sumptuously did they carry on
the war while the affair lasted-but the evil DAYS
came; and John Delafeld's shaving and grinding
process soon reduced the top gallant sails of their
pride. Since then the end has been rapidly consum.
mating and, instead Of balls convcrsa2iones, and
with appraisers and auctioneers
have taken place. and the fcstoens and garlands for
the fesal night have given way to this House 10 Let"
People who were formerly lords Of the ascendant,
have walked down from their pedestals, and instead
of sending cards for two three hundred, they
pay sl.5e for announcements in the papers TO this
effect For Sale" Four buss Of Italian poets viz:
Dante, Tasso, Aroste and Petrarch, which were cut
in Italy, supposed $50 years ago. out of verde antique
marble marble bust of Lord Byron taken while
young marble chequered table top, two compan-
ion landscapes signed Swagers, with two others, and
two Sea glea marble pedestals."
Blocker and Bond street, Waverey, and Carroll
places seem no longer like the same spots the sound
of revelry no longer makes their echoes vocal and
instead Of the rafting Of carriages at each door, we
might say with the tragic poet
passed this very moment by the doors,
And found them guarded by troop OF villains;
The OF public rspise were desroyng.
They has commission e seize all thy fortune.
Here stood ruiian with horrid .ce,
Lordng Il DER pile Of massy plate
Tumbed into a heap for public sale.
There another making vianous jests
At thy uHdoing. He had taen possession
az ali thy sncieut most domestic ornaments,
Rich hangings nternixsd and wrought with gold
The very bed which on thy wedding night
Received thee 10 the arms Of Belvders,
The ne of all Thy joys, was violated
BY the coarse hsads Of filthy, dungeon villains,
And thrown amongst the common lumber.
But il is all "humaa namr;" when machines are
screwed up too tightly they will naturally fly asun-
der, and reaction will always follow extremes. So
cety has now to be reconstructed and patched up
as best il may; and those who were " second chop
in the estimate Of fashion last year will take prece-
dency this Mutations are always useful, and no
one has fee simple in chateau d E.pogns.
