Of business affairs in France than might have
been expected at this time II says;
ave have this week received some informa-
ton which makes Us hope that the crisis under
which trade has been lingering, isalmost passing
away. In Paris articles there is not, IL is true,
much doing orders for expectation have not
yet come in, and we cannot expect the visitors
to the London Exhibition 10 crowd back again
to make their purchases until the month Of June.
But we have been able TO verify the fact Of a
serions commencement Of business.
"The news from the departments are equally
favorable. The fall in prices Of silksand cottons
in the markets, forced manufacturers TO sell at a
loss. In this way some transactions have been
completed at Rouen, Mulhouse, Lyons and st.
Etiebne. There were considerable demands to
satisfy, but buyers, observing the bad condition
Of things for some months past waited, and
would only take goods when prices we're con-
sderably reduced.
aAdvices from Lyons and ST. Etienne still
speak Of sales At low prices so that the mill

During this long PERIOD questions OF the gravest

that, on many occasions, my action was not IN

many of those whom you represent. Hence,
cannot but feel highly gratihed to know that
such difference of opinion has neither impaired
their confidence in my uprightness as states,

CERTIFICATE.
gf d, CINcINNATI, Feb 7th 1851.
This is to certify that my sister, Mary G. Belman,
was attacked with disease in her hip, more than
three years ago. which rendered her utterly help
less thatshe was compelled to keep her bed. All
hopes of her recoverp were deSpaired of. Some OF
the most eminent physicians of Covington and Gin
cinnat attended her, all of whom declared hel
case a hopeless one. Passing by DR.. Howe's de-
pot an idea suggested itself, that to try one bottle
of his Shaker Sarsaparilla could do no harm. Ac-
cordingly purchased one bottle, and before its
contents were entirely used she received benefit
| was induced to try another, and another; before
the last was used She had nearly recovered. Now
she has no pain, can walk and has the entire use
of her limbs To Howe's Shaker Sarsaparilla WE
attribute this effective cure. tits but few months
since she commenced taking it.
