From The Boston Post.

! Much apprehension exists in cei tain circles in
consequence Of the establishment Of branches
! IN New York by several Of our large commits
sion houses for the sale of American dry goods
Many have INDUCED themselves in croaking
and talking blue as to the business of our city
All this we hold is bad and that there is but 1T
tie just ground for it, II would be better, Oh
jecionable as il is, TO adopt the New York Gus
tom and talk large, for by the oppost, course
we frigbten away our young men and our Gus
toners. Let US Mr.. Editor, just advert to a few
things Of an encouraging nature, in relation TO
the business of Boston; has she not her nariga-
tion, her fisheries, her boots and shoes her furni-
ture for export, her miscellaneous articles of
manufacture, her large commerce with the Brit
ish provinces, and her Increasing trade with
Canada! 1t not Boston the great commercial
capital of New England! and does she not. in
pecunary point of view, stand in relation to
New England, as London does TO Europe? Our
long lines of railroad, which have so long been
IN the process Of construction are now com
pleted and are beginning to develope their abili-
ty to turn business hithcr. Our capital now
emer1g from temporary embarrassment in the
establishment OF steam communication with the
South-the fall in cotton aud suspension of the
increase of machinery, will soon, in some mea-
sure at least, enable our manufacturing estab
llshments to recover from their present depres-
sion, and altogether the business prospects of
oyr city are more encouraging than they have
been for long period. Happily Boston does
not depend for her prosperity upon any one
branch of trade, much less upon the fact Of the
transfer of the whole or any part Of the bust
ness of the houses referred to. Let US then be
in better spirits, aud if we must talk upon the
subject, let us speak justly, and then we shall
speak cncouraeingly. An OLD MERCHANT

GREAT CITIES GREAT SoREs.-Jefferson was
rght--great cities are great sores on the body
rolitic. A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger writes from New York that if a man
wants to study human life and human nature,
see how low depth it can descend TO, now and
then, for the sake of few dollars and cents, he
must live in a city like New York Half an
hour or so, spent once day in the police office,
will open his eyes to more scientific crime, in
different spheres of life than he will ever find
within the book-covers of Dickens, Bulwer,
Eugene Sue, or De Kock
He gave the following as an illustration:
"a distinguishing woman, named Kate
Thompson, this morning was brought mp to an
swer, at the Toombs, a complaint preferred by
rather pretty looking young Irish woman,
named Ann Muliigan, charging that Kate gets
her lving-nay, makes fortune, by hiring
young servant girls from the Commissioners OF
Emigration, and the intelligence offices, pre-
tending to want them for servants, but in reality
introducing them to clerks and other proflipa,es
at No. 81 Liberty street for the purpose O.
prostitution
Abundant proof from other parties was pro
duced, substantiating the charge, and shown.
also, that this Nadine Thompson had been tn
means Of running many other poor girls beside
complainant. The woman was committed &
prison, and will there await the further action O
the court. But this case is not an isolated one
II IS only one that happened to be dragged t
light"

ILLNESS OF Mr.. CoorER.--The New York Post

SLAVERY AND STATE LAWS. The case of Albert
who was convicted in the criminal sessions OF
this city, for kidnapping a child belonging to an
alleged fugitive slave, is to be brought before the
supreme court, and the Attorney General OF
Maryland, Mr. Brent, has been authorized to in
stitute proceedings. The question will then be
decided whether a child born in free State,
Of fugitive slave, inherits the condition of its
mother, and is not only slave, but fugitive
escaping from State in which it never had any
existence The question is an interesting one,
and if the Maryland view oft the case is sustained,
our laws, or the decisions under them, will have
to be altered The mother, in this case, being
seized by Albert, refused to go without her
child, and so he carried them botl off. Judge
Parsons anmsdvercd in strong terms upon the
conduct of Albert, and on his conviction gave
him severe sentence, ten years, to the penten-
tiary. He also intimated that if he bad been in.
dictod for carrying of the woman he would also
have deserved conviction from his neglecting,

guires i'm such cases

A Wife.

Mr.. -, merchant, now residing
in Philadelphia, who formerly lived in
rather an extravagant style, was In the
habit, every Monday morning, of giving to
his wife certain sum of money for the
table and household expenses of the week.
He never mentioned his business to his
wife, and she, deeming him sufficiently ca
pable of attending to his own affairs, never
inquired into them. About five years after
their marriage, through some slight mis-
management, and the rascality of his con-
f.ential clerk, Mr.. -- suddenly failed,
and his fall was mentioned 'sympathlz-
ingly'' on change, and, like all such mat
ters, there all sympathy endsd The
merchant kept the affair secret, and the
first iptimation his lady had Of it, was

" after dinner was over, on the discovery

her husband to remain in the parlor few
moments, as she had something to say to
him. She then left the room, hurried UP
stairs, and shortly after returned, bearing
splendidly bound Bible in h>r hands.
Handing it to her husband, she said,
"George, the day after our marriage you
gave me this precious book as token OF
your love, and as a rich fountain to look
to in the day of trouble. Its pages have
been precious to me; and as your brow
looks sad to day, l now return it to you,
that you may CLEAN from it some consola-
ton in the hour of gloom. She then left
the room.
The merchant opened the book careless

other note of the same amount was before

The lady obeyed, entering the room with
something between tear and smile.

all this money"
seThis is the weekly saving ofyour house
hold expenses for the last five years." was
the modest reply. 'Every week / put ter
out of the twenty dollars which you gave
me into our Bible bank, that when a da..
of trouble came upon us, we should hav
something to save us from the wolf"
"But why put it in the Bible, Kate 20
