 BUs1NEss.-There seems to be an increas- ing confidence, and desire to put money in circulation, on every hand. That business is reviving, there cannot be doubt. We see it and hear of it in every quarter. Let the people be industrious-attend to their own busness-be content with fair, honest prosperity-and not participate in specula- ton, or wait for treasury bounties, or leglsla- ton for their particular interests-and mat ters will proceed prosperously. There has been too great desire to reap benetits-di- rect and special-from the action of Con- gress. This is 0 fatal error. The people, with the advantages possessed in this coun- try, will prosper only by close attention to their own business. When the laws of the country prot ect their rights, their own exer- tions will make them rich. But when they depend upon special laws, they will in hu. man probability become poor.
 Hartford Times. 1 A SAD SpEcrAcLE.-On our way from Phil. adelphia to this city on Friday last, upon our return from Baltimore, our attention was ar rested by the appearance of a fellow -passen ger, who chanceG to sit near us in the cars He was apparently not over 30, dressed in coarse and seedy garments, and evidently in the last stage of consumption. Upon his face was stamped the seal of death more clearly and terribly than we have ever seen it upon another living countenance. He was 1 wasted to n skeleton, and the livid paleness of a corpse had driven from his face every hue of health and life. His eyes were rest less, and glared with dull but eager stare up- not hear him speak till we had reached Jer- sey city, and then, upon the ferry boat, we observed him talking to number of gentle { men, who were standing around him. He spoke feebly, but with great earnestness and excitement. He said he had just been re- leased from the Penitentiary in Pennsylva. nia, where he had been a long time confin- ed. He had never before confessed his shame, but now, he said, he could not help it. He had been great villain in his life ]; but, said he. as his eyes sWam in tears, and his thin, blue lips quivered with emotion, that's all past, and have got to die in day or two. His mothers he said, lived at No. - GreenWich-street; he had not seen her for many years, and the only favor he asked of God or man was, that he might reach her home and die in her arms. He seemed in a perfect agony of apprehension lest the police officers of the city should see him as he lan- ded, and detain him till it should be too late to see his mother. They all knew him, he said, to be great rogue, and if somebody did not aid him, he kneao he should die in the City Prison instead of in his mothers house. He seemed greatly relieved and truly thank full when several gentlemen offered to send him at once to her residence. We know not what became of him, but think it scarcely possible that he should be living now. But who can picture either the joy or the agony of that last meeting between the widowed mother and her wretched son, coming from the dungeon 10 her arms only to be laid somewhat more gently in the grave!
