The Acadia brought out one million OF
dollars in specie, half of which is for Brown
Brothers q. Co., of this city. 1t is not al
all remarkable that while we importing spe-
Gle in such masses, that all our agricultural
products are so low. Cotton Planters in
the continued fall of their staples see the
effect of hard money policy, for if Cotton
can be paid for in specie Only, il must be
paid for al very low price.
The fall ofcotton, together with the high
rate of frieghts, will have a very unfayora.
BILE effect on the stock here, as we'll as upon
the shipments that have already been made.

the most triumphant for them, recorded fol
several years. The locos fought with their
usual tenacity, but were completely routed

Mayor were ahead $50. Gordon Corning was

men and assistants the wings have elected
ten.
In the recent town elections in Massa-

the wings have succeeded.
The town of Burlington in this state, has
elected wing officers by handsome MAORI
ties.
By the following account from Connec-

desperate effort" and never has there been
a time when Connecticut did not prove her.

Our exchange papers continue to bring
us cheering intelligence in relation to revi.
walls. In the States of New York. New
Jersey and Pennsylvania also in Rhode
Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire
and Maine, the Lord is visiting his people.
The N. York Observer says =
$50 numerous are revivals Of religion in
our American churches at this moment, Sc
delightful in their progress, and so abundant
their fruits, that it is not without reason we
say the time to favor Zion has come. Re-
Gently we mentioned several interesting
and somewhat peculiar features in these
works of divine grace, and from the remarks
of our contemporaries of the press, and from
recent additional information respecting re-
vivaIs, we are confirmed in the impression
that they are attended with less that is ex-
ceptionable, and with more that is lovely
and of good report, than the religious ava.
kening in this country for some years past.
The Boston Recorder says: ave contin.
ue to receive intelligence from many quar-.
tiers, of gracious work of the Holy Spirit, in
bringing men to the acknowledgement of
the truth as it is in Christ. From the in
formation which has come to US. through
both public and private channels, we should
Judge that revivals had rarely been more
extensively prevalent in this country, than
at this time. The accounts are not only
cheering in themselves, but, to very great
extent, the character of the revivals is such
as to give the strongest reason to believe
that wholesome and permanent religious
interest has been excited. With few ex-
ceptiors, we notice disposition to rely.with
humble diligence, upon the ordinary and d.
vinely appointed means of grace"
