PROSPECTUS
CRESCENT CITY

FNHE subscribers propose, on the nrst
- of October, TO commence the publ
cation of a daily newspaper, in New Or
leans, heading the above title. The rea-
sons for this course are numerous and
sufficient, but need not here be stated
In answer to an inquiry, what will be
the character Of the proposed publica-
ton? The proprietors answer: that in
relation to partizan questions, religious
or political, it takes no part whatever
Facts in relation to these, as well as other |
subjects, will be occasionally stated, but
only as matter of history, or passing re-
mark, without taking sides for one party
or another. The editors are citizens, and
In common with other freemen, will vote
for Wing or Vanites; we suspect the for
mer; just as they please: but their pa
per will be neither one nor the other
1t will, however, to the utmost OF its abb
lily, sustain the public credit, by which
we mean the credit, of the United States,
our own State, and public institutions,
nor less that Of individuals our own in
cluded.
Passing events, domestic and foreign
will be carefully chroniced, and placed
before our readers in as brief and com
prehensive manner as possible. All
important transaction occurring in the
city of whatever character, will receive
from US due notice: and sometimes events
not very important, may be rendered
more so by our notice. The proceed
ings Of public bodies, whether incorpora-
ted or not, will be observed, and full oft.
en- become the subjects of remark. The
various amusementS of our city, of what
ever name, will be subject upon which
we propose freely, but literally to com
ment.
Commercial and business information
will form a special item Of the daily con
tents of our sheet. At least once week
we propose to give brief but full view
of the state of the market. Arrivals o.
ships and steamboats, will be noticed, anc
facts learned by them be speedily com
municated TO the public.
AS ours is at once a mercantile anC
family paper, nothing ola bitter or angry
character; nothing indicate or of immo
raj tendency, will be permitted to stair
our pages. Instead of these, it will bt

refined and virtuous; and especially Il
render our columns agreeable and in
structive to the young and to families
where it is to be hoped our paper will b.
daily and nightly read by the fair, a

the sterner sex. Let it not be supposed
however, that sprightliness, wit, and sal
lies of mirth and innocent gaety are t,
form no part of the contents of our Jour
nal. The smile of intelligent and harm
less humor, and the efflorescence ofchas
tened but Attic wit, and the pleasantrie
of social enjoyment, possess too man,
charms to be refused admittance to GU
hearts, and will consequently be eve
welcome to our columns.
In short, we intend to render our littl
sheet compendium of all subjects cor
sistent with rigid purity of morals, fror
the soberest lessons of religion and phi
losophy, to the gayest and most playfr
efforts of fancy and wit.

For fbe Repisfe,

For he kegister. Mir. Langdon flat denied my original charge against him, of having been Jackson candidate for two years in Perry county. l have since published an extract of letter from gentleman of Perry, reite- rating the charge in unequivocal language. Within the last week have the author of that letter and he repeats the broad assertions that Mir Langdon was the candidate of the Jackson pary-that he Langdon) distinctly expressed his belief that Jackson was the only man who could save our country Tn those peril lous times.
 l have also seen and conversed with L. A. Wei singer, one of the then opposing candidates of Mir. Langdon, and he corroboraes the charge in it's broad est latitude. 1 have also several other gentle men from the county, and they all bear witness to the same fact It thus then proved beyond pos- sbty of contradiction. that in 1888 and 1884, Mir. c. C. Langdon, who abuses General Jackson for the very first acts of his administrations, was tho- rough going Jackson man.. ..
 l have further word to say just now, and commend it to the special notice of who now warmly SUD- port Mir. Langdon. At the time of which speak, Mir. Langdon gave the following Toast, at public dinner in Perry;
 "Nullifcation-another name for Treason. May the growth of hemp be encouraged"
 To which toast democrat made the following re, ply. 'Hemp-may it be spontaneous growth, and mol raised by unjust legislature ever to hang null lifer." hope now Mir. Langdon will waive his charge oi "cowardice'' and join issue as to facts.

The mail to-day came through from New York; with dates of the 27th.
 According to a letter from respectable source' re- ce;ved in New York by Messrs. Dunscomb Beck with. dated Montreal, May 22d, Captain of a um- her vessel just arrived from Quebec, states positively that he saw the ''President making for the Western Island. He left England the 2lst of April, and says he saw the President or 4 days after. "Ths, says the letter ''wil probably appear in print here to- morrow hope the captain is not mistaken" Mon trea papers of the 24th inslusive, make no aluson to the report the contrary, they speak oi the case of the President as hopeless.
 The Quebec Mercury gives the particulars oi the wreck of the ship Misntrel from Limerick, to that nort and the loss of one hundred and forty eight lives This dreadful accident occurred on the Red Island Reef, which the vessel struck about o'clock m the morning.
 "Upwards of one hundred passengers embarked m the boats but their doom was quickly sealed; the vessel sheeIed oh,' into deep water and went down stern foremost so suddenly that the panters of the boats could not be cast off, and the people who had embarked in the boats perished, with their equall, unfortunate companions on board the ship, excep four passengers, who alone of upwards of l5O souls remained to tell the sad tale"
 Only eight persons escaped, passengers and O the crew, including the Captain. There were 4l adult females on board, and 49 children under | years of age-al of whom perished

From our Commercial Correspondent. :.

NEw-YoRK, May 20, lS4l
 The business for the packets sailing to-day has been large, and prices have generally improved Money is very plenty, and the feeling in the market seems to be that towards the close of the bills will run short and the price go up. This has caused a more active demand for bills and the rate for ster ing has been 10s l0sl Southern bills without city endorsements have sold at 74 7t per cent; on France f5 27l f5 25. The closing rates f5 264 1t is stated that more than 900 000fs have been sold since Saturday, and some demand for Mexican dol lars sprung up in consequence of the improved rate of bills, the premium the dollar rose a I, and ,he packet takes out SsO,00O. It is generally un- 5erstood that there has been far less fictitious draw ing this year. that cotton, tobacco and other produce have gone forward more regularly than for many years. The supply of bills furnished by these, it is apprehended, may fall short and cause demand for specie, without there being sufficient improvement in foreign markets to allow of supply of bills being based upon securities It is understood here that the business at the south is pretty much over for the sea- son, and that there will be but few more bills from that quarter. lfs,,ife ..f f fi
 There is but little of interest here. The rapid app uroach of the extra session absorbs the principal top- ;cs of conversation. Many efforts are making in fa- vor of National Bank, but the opposition is much
