has Withdrawn from trade, leaving his ex-
tensive business to his late eo-partners in
the concern. Mr.. Tappan has long been
actlvel y and wor:hily engaged in COM
merce in this city, and retires universally
respected and beloved by those who know
him. If he has enemies, they were made
such by difference on a great moral ques-
lion, not by anything they know of the
man. We think even they will be glad
to hear that he retires with competence.
He leaves his business in the hands of
young men of high moral principles and
ample capabilities. by whom ii will doubt
less be uprightly and justly conducted.-

| TREATMENT OF CoLoRED PEOPLE,
Recently a venerable eolered gentleman,
manned Mons George, from Port au Prince,
Iarrived in Newly ork with three young
countrymen, one of them being his ne phew
and secretary. Nj. George IS wealthy
planter, and an ex-senator, and was form
erly Commissary Generalunder President
Boyer. He came to this country with a
view to make some investments, and par
ticularly to purchase some steam engine
for his sugar estates. He found it very
difficult to obtain lodgings at our hotels
and boarding houses, and at length took
rooms at French hotel. Returning
from Philadelphia, after short visit 10
that city, he was thrust into the Loafer's
car, where he took very severe cold, that
confined him several days. He was re-
fused passage in the cabin of one of our
packet ships for England, but was told by
the agent Of another line that he should
be accommodated we'll If he could remain
a week or two: But he was impatient to
leave the country, and took passage for
France in the bark Alexandra, being
courteous Y treated by the agent and cap
tain, who saw the visage of this polished
old gentleman in his mind. Our hotel
keepers, and railroad agents, and packet
agents, should understand that he has car
ried nearly all his doubIooaS with him TO
Europe to expend there.-JOur. Of Com.
