| NArHASiEL PRIME Esq, one of the founders Of
the house Of Prime Wafd King & Co. of that city.
The American has the following notice Of the dis

NArHANIEL PRIME The city was shocked this
morning by hearing that this well known and much
respected gentleman, had persisted by his own
hand.
Mr.. Prime--in the possession of every thing that
could make life desirable, -unblemished character,

The want Of its accustomed work may possibly
have caused the mind to prey upon itself Certain
it is that at intervals lately, great depression came
over the spirits of the deceased, for which he was
not able to account and against hch, alas he has
been unable successfully struggle.
Yesterday he in the city, wen apparently

Our TRADE wITH FRANCE.

The export of specie has, in it, operations, been
quite remarkable. Exchanges all foreign places,
France excepted, have been in favor Of this coun-
try. No specie has been wanted, ard very little
has been shipped to any other place. France has,
particularly for the last three months been receiy
ing large sums in silver. The question naturally
arises how is thisl Why is it that while there is
perfect reciprocity in trade with any other coun-
try to such degree, that neither receivs nor
paw any considerable sum in specie, France should
bring us in debt all at once full three millions Of
dollars; ard taking II she takes, not gold, hich
we car spare but will have all silver description
of coin that cannot spore. The great secret is
the immense introduction Of silks. The duties be-
ing now removed this description of goods comes
in at very reduced rates. Fashion unfortunately
clothes our females in silks, and even the males
take large quantity.
Our great staple, cotton, ia the principal article
thar is sent in payment and the upprecedentedly
low rates it is bringing in Europe, it falls far short
II sufficient sum TO pay for our Indebtedness To
England, besides the vast sum pay for goods
we have 10 provide for large amouat Of interest,
and with all this running against US, VIC are enabled
TO square up with produce; and yet with France
from whom we receive but little else than silks and
wine, which contribute but lutte 10 national re-
venue we are constantly in debt Nor ia there
much prospect of any favorable change, so long
fashion runs in favor Of silk goods. So long q.
they are admitted free, and so long as cotton con-
tinues the present low rate, it is hardly possible
that there can be any change for the better-N. Y.

/ AN INDIAN and HIS SQUAw.-When it is
said, in general terms, that the men do,
nothing but hunt all the day, while the wo-
men are engaged in perpetual toll, I sup
pose this suggests TO civilized readers the.
idea of party of gentlemen at Melton, or
n turn out of Mr.. Meynell's hounds;, or, at
most, deer stalking excursion to the high
ands-a holy day affair; while the women
poor souls mnst sit at home and sew, and
spin, and cook vctuals. But what is the
life ofan Indian hunterl One of lncessant,
almost killing toll, and often danger. A
hunter goes out at dawn, knowing that, if
lie returns empty, his wife and his little ones
must sLarye-no uncommon predicament!
He comes home at sunset, spent with faa
tigne, and unable even tospeak. His wife
takes off h,s moccains, places before him
what food she has, or, if lattery the chase
has failed probably no food at all, or only
little parched wild rice. She then exam
ines his hunting pouch, and in it finds the
claws, or bealS or tongue of the game, or
other indications by which she knows what
it is, and where to fud it. She then goes
for it and drags it home. When he is re-
freshed, the hunter caresses his wife and
children, relates the events of his chase,
smokes his pipe and goes to sleep--to begin
the same life on the following day. Where,
then, the whole duty and labor of providing
the means Of subsistence, ennobled by dan
ger and courage falls upon the man, the wo-
man naturally sinks in Importance, and is
dependent drudge. But she is not, there,
fore, suppose, so very miserable, nor re-
latvely, so very abject; see is sure ofpro-,
lection; sure ofmaintenance, ,at least while
the man has; sure of kind treatment; sure
TINT she will never have all her children ta-
ken from her but by death; sees none bet
ter off than herself aud has no conception
in such state the appointed and neccessa-
nv share of the women is the household
work, and all other domestic labor
