ONE OF TIE LATE NEW ORLEANS SUsPENsloSs.-
We euboin with much pleasure, circular Just lssu-
ed by the extensive house of Messrs. FELLOWS q
Co. factors iu New Oceans. Their suspension " as
announced by telegraph on last Monday, and con
firmed by our correspondents letter, few days
since. We have authority for saying that their
statements are strictly correct and according to our
own correspondent and to the remarks oil one OF
the leading papers of New Orleans their position
and difficulties have enlisted the sympathy Of all
around them. Our own interest in them is enhanc-
ed by the knowledge that junior but active and
efficient member of the house, is Charlestonian,
reared among US, and the son Of one Of our Oldest
and most respectable famil es. May their expecta-
tons be promptly and abundantly realized:

which we hope and believe will be temporary
The long continued low stage of the Mississippi
River and tributaries, preventing shipments from
our friends in the interior for whom we are large
" in advance, and the unexampled stringency in
money matters, here and elsewhere, precluding ne
gotiatons even on the most undoubted security,
have forced US to adopt this course.

Cash Balances and Bills for which the Drawers
have provided. The proceeds Of all Produce, al

While we deplore the necessity compelling our
adoption of the above course, we beg TO assure our
friends of our perfect solvency. The time of our
resumption will ina measure depend on the exer-
tons made by those indebted to US in promptly
sending forward their Produce.

TRIAL OF New STEAM FIeE ENolSE-The Gin
cinnat correspondent of the Boston Transcript
gives the following account of the power of the
Steam Fire Engine built in that city for 30. ton:
You will probably bear in mind the height and
size Of our Mechanics Institute buildings. The
two streams were each thrown over the corner
spires of the building about 100 feet in height We
then cut the two streams into four each of these
was thrown about so feet perpendicular height
We then connected these bv throwing two three
inch streams into three inch line, and putting on
inch nozzle, threw heavy body of water on
the roof of the house 1870 or $40 feet high At
this time took off the nozzle aud added 49, feet
of perpendicular hose, carrying it to the top of the
look out on the Institute and from that threw wa
ter through y inch diamond nozzle about $50
feet horizontally the neighboring buildings, and
about Is feet perpendicuarly.

Above all, she was a Christian. Having been
piously taught by Christian parents she was con-
verted in early life and attached herself TO the
Methodist Episcopal Church. Her walk and con-
versation were such as become the gospel OF Christ
Her sickness was protracted. By slow prose
she came down to the grave under the influence OF
wasting consumption, but her faith was strong, and
she rejoced in hope Of the glory Of God. Calmly
she talked, and sweetly she sung the TT unphs oil
faith, in the beautiful words Of the poet:
"How happy every child Of grace
Who knows his Sins forgiven
And when she came to the brink Of the dark river
Of death, she, with feeble but sweet voice, sang
"0n Jordans stormy banks stand,
And cast a wishful eye,
To Canaan's fair and happy land
Where my possessions lle
BLESSED are the dead that die in the Lord. =
Her funeral was attended by many friends, who
wept with the bereft family but rejoiced because
of her victory by faith in Jesus Christ.
