All kind OF business is getting over done, There Il
too many in il, and trade is getting cut up, and
there is now more real contention and opposition
IN trade than in New York city. The reason is
obvious and plain, Persons come here with 1T
tie money, and must at some rate get livelihood,
and consequently, sell cheap out of their stores OF
send them to the auction room there to be sold al
great sacrifices this is the way in all kinds OF trade,
and In few years New Orleans will be one OF the

that have been induced to come on here with the
idea that fortune is to be made in one winter, and
then go North and get married. This is the rea-
son our streets now lined and crowded with
young men, many of them very familiar TO the eye,
but not intimate with them. Ii is supposed that
there is now about thousand young and virtuous
men In the city, seeking employment at something;
some OF them are running the streets as IT they
were up to their eyes in business and they are just
the ones that have nothing to do.

sincerely thank you for the stand you are taking
against the cruel and reckless conduct of some OF

check this alarming propensity of the directors to

In employing our bank capital, and willingly excite
the desire to increase the demand for il; and for
that reason, do not object to temporary loans of
questionably sound stocks, such as Government

object, and loudly will complain, ifmy hard earn

Long Island Railroad Harlem Railroad, &c

Long Island, advancing from 30 to IS percent, and
say If II is safe stock to loan money on at any

but have no power to prevent it, however much
wish 1t. | would rather have two and half per

Now, sir, mark the result; il is well known which

of their stockholders and il is but few DAYS since
II publicly stated in Wall street, that the certi-
fed checks of one of these banks would not be ac-
cepted IN payment, such certiication only bound
the bank for that day, and not till the next; the

The Musical MANIA.-Dunng the last week the
musical mania has eliminated to its highest point
On the arrival of Chit Damoreau and Artot. there
good deal of excitement, amongst the French
circles particularly, who endeavored with great
zeal to make out Artot to be a very great artist,
which indeedhe unquestionablyis. Butthen came
Ole Bull, who cast Artotsatogether in the shade in
point of genius and originality; the consequence
has been that the French clique have very fooshly
sought to decry the of the former in order to
elevate the latter. The French paper here has
made itself most conspicuously ridiculous in this
movement, setting itself up to be the sole musical
censor OF the age, as if no one knew any thing
about music but the little set of which it is the
organ. The enthusiasm, however, created by the
only successor OF Paganini, has been altogether
unprecedented. His simplicity of manner and en-
tire absence of all pretension and affectation have
gained for him the most fattering degree of public
esteem and regard The Park has been crowded
TO sufiocation each night of his performance. On
Friday night he appeared for the last time. He
played with all his skill and enthusiasm and excited
a storm of applause such as has indeed rarely been
witnessed in any theatre At the close of the per-
Torrance. he made his Acknowledgements to the
house, in his own quiet, unaffected, imprisoned
way and having with very great feeling handed
10 tnt iedueI Ol Tie orchestra, Wrealn OF MOWERS
which had been cast on the stage, he retired amid
loud and enthusiastic paudits from all parts of the
house.
What IS TO be the effect OF all this enthusiasm
1t will certainly give impulse to musical science
in this country, which will give it an elevation and
popularity, to which it has never hitherto ap-
preached The public are heartily tired-as well
they may-of the legitimate drama. They ARE
sick of seeing Shakespeare murdered and mangled,
and even the best actors must soon exclaim with
the Moor, "Othelos occupation is gone" And
this change in the public taste is most gratifying
1t is not easy exaggerate the refining and .eeva-
ting influence of love of music amongst any
people

DEFALcATIoNs IN WALL sTREEr.-The recent de-
fslcation in the Etna Insurance Company, to the
tune OF $40 900, has very naturally awakened good
deal disqualification about the situation of other
insurance and banking companies. And who can
point 10 s one of these insitatioHs and say oh Al
is safethere is no danger of defalcation there -
Every bank and insurance company in. the city
may rat this moment be the subject of plnnder
Nobody can tell how their affairs are, with such
cupable and shameless negligence have their very
responsible duties been discharged by the men APP
pointed TO look after the interests of the stockhod-
ers. We have not the shadow of doubt, that if the
books of some ofthese institutions were carefully ex-
ahmed, evidences of corruption and robbery would
be presented on all sides, of the most astounding
character Nobody would have a right TO be sur
prised if il discovered that one-third of the
property of the banks, and other monied incorpora-
tions, had been eaten up and destroyed by their
officers. And why? The reason is very plain,
Every body who has had the use of their eyes have
seen how bank officers have been living. In the
absence of all profitable business by the banks, we
have seen during the last few years, their officers
living in a style of most unbounded extravaganza
giving parties al five hundred or thousand dol
lars nght-spending the season at the fashionable
''"'N'"'S-P'oSc'-a ihuuiSihS III soits VI Iiot-
Gus living" And all this on salaries of $1,000, or
$500, or $4,000 year-sums about sufficient to
pay the rent of their princely mansions in Waiver
ley Place or Eighth street.
1t is not an exaggerated calculation to set down
the amount of bank plumber, during the last ten
years. at five or six millions of dollars. There is
no confidence whatever in the system. 1t is raught
with corruption from beginning to end. And the
robbery of the stockholders of these victim
lied institutions is not the only evil. The
culprits, from their wealth and connexions,
enabled to defeat the courts of Justice, and es-
cape the punishment of their crimes Let a poor
starving devil steal loaf of bread or a pair Of
breeches, and he is sent to the Penitentiary imme
diately. But man like Wyman, when he plum
ders bank can secure the services of Mr.. Web
ster and the first counsel in the land, take excep
lions to the decision Of the court, insult the judge
set aside the verdict of the jury, and effecually
elude the grasp of the law 1t has been this of
things, amongst other causes, which has originated
the new reform movement, and which, if properly
carried out, will bring back the virtue and in
tegrity of former days.
