The late circular Of the Secretary of the
Treasury to Collectors relative 10 Calfor-
mia shipments, is not relshed any better this
week than il was last. II acts as a great
dampor on the trade, and, in truth, is inn
practicable
Chcscbro, Stcarns & Co., the large but
broken Try goods house, will pay 80 cents
on the dollar which is better than was OK
pcctcd.
Yesterday, the innumcrable pcwsboys
strained their clamorous tbron.s with vocii-
crations Of the news, -Four m0rc Donks
JdHcdi" Some even cried that 6 bal stop
ped. Altogether, eight nre reported to have
burst within week. or course, there was
panic Yesterday afternoon. and il was anus
ing to see gentlemen stop in the street, and
with anxious faces nnd trcmulous fingers,
turn over their wnds " bank.noics The
first practical nrg'weHtpm mi homncm
received yesterday wnl tho return of dollar
note nj the Farmers Bank at Nina, which
had happened 10 pass the day prior 10 it,
alleged failure. OF course, | could not be
expected to redeem IT, On looking over
what notes romnincd IN my pocket found
four dollars Of the Wcsiern Bonk, at White
Creek, N. Y, which somewhat consolcd the

somewhat similar to that Of man who finds
his house burning just rs his policy of insur
anco has run out; and no Fire Annihila

these Fire Annihilators will walk into the
Insurance Companies some; or rather,

MUM very essentially No Insurance Com
pany, after this. need to suffer large loss
by fire, either on land or at sea. That
awful catastrophe, a ship on fire al sea- will
not be likely 10 occur when these machines
shall have come into general use. Think Of
that dreadful scene on board the Ocean
Monarch two or three years ago. A "Fre
Annihilator," costing about $40, would in
SPONTANEOUSLY extinguish fire in the hold,
ragged it never so hard. I have seen these
things tried. and know how efficient they
are. In the course of nexi week large
frame house will be filled with combustibles
and set on fire in order TO show how quickly
the Machine sold by the Company IN Warren
ST., (of which p. T. Barnum is the AGENT
will extinguish it.
Kossuth is on hi, wayl" is frequent
exclamation now-a-days, but if the authors
ties are making the extensive arrangements
for his reception which We have been led 10
expect at their hands, they keep very quiet
about it. trust the welcome will be such
! as shall reinspre the discouraged spirit Of
liberty in Europe.
The return of the "Advancc " of the ex-
pcdtion fitted out by the American mer-
chant, Mr.. Grinnell, for the discovery of Sir
John Franklin in the frozen seas Of the far
North. has occasioned vast deal Of inter-

Kate Hayes is handsome woman, and q
great layoiite, but it would be rank presump.
