Effects Of the Re vuIsiOn on Morals and
Hal

The revusion in business, and the change OF CIR
cumstances brought about by it in the persons OF
every class Of society, have had saluary effect IN
restraining within reasonable bounds that lavish and
wasteful excess in living which had begun TO be a
characteristic of New York society. Foreigners
when they visited this city, were surprised at the
magnfcence and profuson which were exhibited
throughout they looked for republican simplicity Of
manners and frugality and sobriety of domestic
economy, and found extravaganza and splendour
existing which put European opulence into the shade,
and revived the glowing descriptions of novelists, and
the accounts of travellers. Earth, sea, and air were
ransacked supply their tables which groaned under
dehcacies to which parallel could be found in the
savoury pages of the Ainanach DIES Commands, and
the only limit to their extravagancy was the impos-
sbihty Of gold procuring what nature had denied.
change came over the spirit of this dream ma
tlre is still bounuiul ever, but the gold is not
forhcomng they have eaten and drank their fill; and
have now recourse to spare diet and less elabo-
rate regimen Recent statistics shew that there has
been dminntion in the consumption OF flour within
the last three months, as compared with a cores
pending period of lS35-le36 Of full twenty five per
cent and this holds good in other articles Of previ
sion. The oyster shops shew the same deficiency OF
customers; the popular bar rooms are almost desert
siens; and all luxurious unnecessary, and fancy ex-
pence, may be quoted as depreciation of at least
fifty per cent.
An improved tone in morality is also observable;
people keep more at hsme, and habituate themselves
10 the comforts of their fresdes. Having money
TO throw away upon trvialities, they employ them
selves in reading and conversation. The ministers
of RIGHTEOUSNESS and gambling scarcely find il
swer their purposes keep their baneful receptaces
open, from want Of custom and the police records
show falling of in the business of that department
