Folger,s Great Paintings,

Representing the +" Wars in Merico," we
learn is to open for exhibition at APOLLO
HALL, on Wednesday evening next. No
work Of this character has come before us,
bearing higher testimonials of merit or popu-
lar favor than this one. --ls--...s.-.
1t is pronounced by the press Of other cit
les, as an extraordinary work, stupendous in
size, admirably drawn, and illustrated in the
richest and most magnificent style of art,
representing in u mastery manner, all the
battles fought by Generals TAYLOR and Scorr
during the war with Mexico; and is said to
be well worthy of patronage.

MONEY MATTERs.-The New York Tri.

MONEY MATTERs.-Ths New York Tri-
bun of Saturday says:
The facilities for borrowing money at call
have somewhat increased within day or
two, but these do not help the stock market,
which touched lower deep this morning
than for severa months past. The fall since
this day week is equal, on some of the pr/-
minent railroads, to per cent; others 2 ka3
per cent, and on the light mining and land
fances la3 per cent.
There is little or no ease in money for gen.
era business purposes. The offerings at the
leading banks are much in advance Of their
ability to discount, and there is a considera-
BILE amount of prime and iair paper thrown
on the street at from l0al2, and in some
cases as low as Is per cent per annum, dis
count. The principal bill houses quote
strictly prime lists at 10 per cent. The banks
are disposed to greater caution in discounting
time paper since the foreign news, and some
Of them are placing more of their means at
call where it can be done on good stock col
laterals.

Tertiary poetry on hand, written by Grigsby
in his cell in the State Prison
Mr.. SAyDERs-
Dear Sir: have of late been prisoner OF
the State OF Indiana, having served term
of two years in the Penitentiary, cut off from
all the ties of human affection that were near
and dear to me in this world-those that
were calculated to smoothe life's tempestu-
Gus motion and calm troubled breast-that
is to say, | have been cut off from my little
family. Although have been incarcerated
in the State Prison, and my liberties torn
from me, have met with some human heart
ed men, and through their kindness to me |
have been enabled to bear my affections with
christian fortitude. Div time having expired,
| was again demanded to be brought a sec.
ond time before Court Of Justice, in Van
derburgh county, to answer to charge that,
Tod knows, feel as innocent of az a new
born babe. Being given up to that kind
and affable gentleman, Mr.. A. p. Work,
Sheriff Of Clark county, Ia, we proceeded
thence for this place. Having engaged pas.
sage on board the Cr, stall Palace, we arrived
here on the morning Of the ninth inst; had
n pleasant trip down, without any one think
ing or knowing that was a prisoner-and
| shall ever be under lasting OBJ iga,ions to
Mr. Work for the respect shown mo ON tins
occasion. Oh! that We had more, or that
the State was filled with such men.
| will now say that shall ever remain
grateful to the kind officers of the prison tor
the kindness shown me while under them,
that is to say, the Lessee, Warden, Chaplain
and Guards. They have proven themselves
gentlemen, possessed Of feeling for those who
are SO unfortunate as to fall a victim to the
Penitentiary.
l now appeal to the citizens of this county,
in behalf of my little motherless children
two daughters and one son. Nethinks there
is not one Of you whose heart would mo-,
swell with sympathy. Then behold their
father, who has once been torn from them
and forced to endure a sentence Of two years
confinement i'm the State Penitentiary.-
This, dear sir, 10 the situation Of your hum
Bile servant; one who has ever endeavored to
live uprightly and honorable. No more at
this time, but remain yours, very respectfully.
Is there man that never sighed
To set the prisoner free?
Is there man that priced
The sweets Of liberty?
Oh, let him then in chains be bound
In chains and bondage live,
And never, never know the sweets
That liberty give.
Is there heart cold in man,
Can muse the towards sigh
Is here creature so debased,
Who'd not for freedom diet
Is there breast chile in life,
Can CALLING fetters crave?
ls there man SO truly low.
Who'd stoop to be slave?
Oh, let him then be doomed 10 crawl
Where only reptiles live,
And never, never know the sweets
That liberty can give!
