The Tribune and Clipper has found OF,
Iatlast, through the New York Tiibune, l|ht
money in that City is plenty and % Be
had at dos per cent. When specie was
scarce short time since, owing to the slate
of exchange, our neigsbors cried loudly
against the tariff of A6as The prime cause
and asked fora protective tariff TO save TIE
country Now, that money is abhndsdt,-
they are Of the "same opinion STILL" tits
a bad omen for money to be SO plenty, and
the country is going to ruin just as fast as
when it was scarce at two per cent a month.
To proyethis state Of things paragraphs
quoted, as sfollows: ~ III
HARD Luck FoR MANurAcTuRERs
Once a week. the Boston Courier publishes
The asking AMI offering prices Of the stock
OF about 40 manufacturing companiesilin
New England. In theirpaper OF Wednes-
i day, only 8 companies are quoted as highas
par, and the price offered for stock Of seye-
raj is SLOW as 30 and 60 cents on the dol
lar" 39
Wei, il is clear TO our mind that those
companies whose stock is quoted so low
either never have been wodhmuch or have
been badly managed, for the facti notorious
that many manufacturers in the east have
been successful, and have driven several
kinds of British goods entirely from the
American markets. The depreciation in The
value of the stock OF some of The MasSa-
chusetts companies may, also, have been
caused by the increase of manufactures in
the South, which portion Of the Union for
merly looked to the north for aSsupply Of
cotton and other goods. This, however, is
no argument with protectionists To them,
everything portends "ruin." For The bene
fit of our neighbors, we insert the follow
ing, and hope they will tell us in what man
ner such facts can prove disastrous TO the
country;
More RUIN,-We discover the following
in the Cincinnati Gazette:
INCREASE OF THE PRODUCTIVE INDUSTRY OF
THE UNITED STATES.
"The United States Economist makes a
statement as to tie productive industry Of
the United States, IRON which we ascertain
some interesting factsas TO the rapid advance
in the value of products in the United
States. Take for examples the coal of Penn
sylvania and the sugar Of Louisiana, both
comparatively new products. Their pro-

Upper tendona At Washington sina state
Of eommotion because Of dificDlty be-
tween Nh John Barney, Of BaItimore. and
the French Minister. NJ. de Sartige. Mr.
Barney has laid his grievances before the Pres
ident (who win doubtless call meeting Of
the Cabinet 10 consider the grave matters
Ementicned) &has written to Prince lie Pfesi-
dentof France, on the same subject. Mf.B
charges Mr.. Sartige with smoking cigars in a
roomo Of the Presidents house, wherein was
pasted up "Nosmoking allowedp Wesub-
NIT to the unprejudiced mind whether Mon
sieur ought not to have read the posters, even
| il he had 10 borrow a pair Of specs to do 50,
and having read, obeyed. But thatsis moth
to what is coming. Mr. Barney further
charges Monsieur with contradicting him. in
the presence Of Madame somebody when he
was endeavoring o7compliment her daugh-
ter. This at a glance would not seem very
serious; but only think Of one endeayoring
to be gallant, having very pretty speech for
the ears Of an influential mamma, uttering it
in the most gracious accents, and then for
some fellow 10 douse bucket of wa!er and
wash the "soft soap"all away--isnt that un-
pardonable Then, at a dinner party the
ungallant Frenchman remarked, after one Of
Mr.. Barney's celebrated compliments, that
'these old members of Congress are always
practising their fine speeehes--it is their vo-
cation!' .ButFMonsieur goes on "piiing up"
the insults. Mr. Barney at the Spanish Min
ister's ball was dancing with young lady
when Mis- asked him who she vas
Turning his head to inform the lady, the
Frenchman walked 10 Mr.. BIS partner and
said; "Your partner has turned his back on
you, Miss-accept my arm" and theeupon
carried her off Now, this was "the most
unkindest cut ofall." Smoking at the White
House was small offence; having compi-
ment spoiled might have been forgotten, and
the i'll natuted remark about "old members
Of Congress" and "fne speeches. might, al
so, have been forgiven; but to take pretty
girl from fellow in the presence of fash
ionable party !. is spreading il on too thick
by half, and calls for the immediate andcner-
getic action OF government! 1t is entirely
unpardonable-by Mr.. Barney at least; and
every one who has been :'cut OUT like him
will feel the force Of the monstrous insult.
The destruction of Troy was caused by Paris
running away with the partner Of Menelaus,
and why, therefore may we not annihllale
France for Monsieur de Sartiges unwauanted
act of carrying off the partner Of the Hon.
Mr.. Barney?
AT Senator Gwin's ball, Monsieur took out
his segar and very coolly lii it in The presence
of ladies and Mr.. Barney and walked out Of
the room putting the smoke in several fair
ones faces. Besides all this, Mr.. B. asserts
positively that the Fpnchman is guilty Of
DESIGNATING the Sabbath by shooting rats and
cats while pious people are going TO church,
and Of sundry other offences Of grea ter or less
magnitude, against the "polished circles Of
Washington in general and MIR. Barney in
particular, all Of which are duly set fourth in
his letter 10 the President.
