So More BungIing.o

The Union is out upon Clayton for violating the
laws of etiquette in his correspondence with the
French government. Among other cnormities,
which it makes our blood shudder to contemplate,
it solemnly alleges that 81 his mspronunciation of
nj. Poussin's name in the commencement of his in
tercourse with that gentleman annoyed the latter
exceedingly, the Secretary insisted on calling
him Mr. PO,1sang 90
Well, this caps the climax How can General
Taylor keep man in his Cabinet who has not only
endeavored to debauch the New York Herald but
insists upon calling Mr.. Poussin, Mr.. Po,osang?
Was there such monster of iniquity and bad
manners? No wonder that Mr. Poussin was 90 ex-
ceedingly annoyed" Doubtless he fled for SYM
pathy to that model Of courtly grace and courtesy
the Washington Union. IfFrance does not take up
this aggravating barbarism of Clayton-this adding
of insult to injury-there is no Gallo 60 chvalry
extant." Richmond Republican, Not 10th.

The Courier dcs Eats Unis enters protestagainst
the harsh comments of some of the journals upon
the recent doings of Admiral Tromelin, at Homo
lulu. We excuse the amor pdtriG of the Courier,
upon most occasions, but the deliberate attempt to
force French brandy down the threats of the Sand
witch Islanders is little beyond any thing Of which
we have heard The justification set up by the
French is that they had the right 10 do what they
did but there be right but that of brute force
to excuse strong power like France in selling the
fort at Honolulu, destroying lite armament and pro-
visions striking the Hawaiian flag and hosting the
tricolor seizing all the Hawaiian vessels I'm port,
and retaining them four days, at the end of which
the fort was evacuated and the shipping restored,
except the kings yacht, which was sent TO Valpa-
raise with a French crew. Then the Gassendi de-
parted for Tahiti and the frigate for San Francisco
A beautiful maneuvre this, for an enlightened gov
ernment like France, and all for a large traffic in
eau de pie t-NetC York Express.

From an article in the last number of Hunts

Inents They afford melancholy illustration of
the hazards and fluctuations OF mercantile life:
at is asserted that but one eminent merchant
land his death is still recent and lamented) has
ever continued in active business in the city Of New
York to the close of long life without undergoing
bankruptcy, or a suspension of payments, in some
one of the various crises through which the coun-
try has necessarily passed. have means fde-
ermining the truth ofths assertion, but il must have
some foundation, and think it would be difficult
for either of us TO add TO the number
at is also asserted, by reliable authority, from
records kept during periods oftwenty to forty years
that, ofevery hundred persons who commence bust
in Boston, ninety five, at least, die poor; that
of the same number in New York, not two ulti
mately acquire wealth, after passing through the
intermediate process of bankruptcy; while in Phil
adelphia the proportion is still smaller
''By the statistics of bankruptcy, collected UNI
der the uniform bankrupt law of 1S4I:

was the fact?
"In the southern district Of New York one cent
was paid, on an average, for each dollar due; in
the northern district, l35 cents, being by far the
largest dividend. In Connecticut the average div

editors give the following reasons for the suspen-
sion Of their paper the soundness of which must be
appreciated even by the selfelected friends of uni

''The publication of the Boston Daily Republican
will be discontinued after this day. Our friends
and subscribers will doubtless wish to know the
reason for this decision our part which we will
briefly state. The reason, and TO us very salts

losing money, and should continue to lose money
by its publication. This reason ought to satisfy
