yesterday this stock closed at 9s per cent It opened
this morning at par, and advanced to one per cent
premium. Between the boards there was q very
active demand for the Stock and some parties were
unable to make their deliveries. The shorts appear
to be in bad way. They are doubtless in want of
great deal Of stock and must have 1t at price,
or pay any difference holders Of contracts may fix Mt

Many members Of the Board of Brokers assume po-

ALL SORTS OF MINDs.-There is
strong disposition in men of oppo-
site minds to despise each other. A
crave man cannot conceive what is
the use of wit in society; a person
who takes a strong common-sense
view of the subject, is for pushing out
by the head and shoulders an ingenl-
ous theorist, who catches at the slight
est and faintest analogles; and anoth-
or man, who scents the ridiculous
from afar, will hold no commerce
with him who tests exquisitely the fine
feeling of the heart, and is alive to
nothing else whereas talent is talent
and mind is mind, in all its branches
Wit gives life to one of its best fla
vors, common-sensc leads to immedl-
ate action, and gives society its daily
motion; large and comprehensive
views cause it's annual rotation; ridl-
cule chastises folly and imprudence,
and keeps men in their proper sphere;
subtlety scizes hold of the fine thread
of truth; analogy darts away in the
most sublime discoveries; feeling
paints all the exquisite passions of
mans soul, and rewards him by a
thousand inward visitations, for the
sorrows that come from without. God
made it all 1t is all good. We
must despise no sort of talent; they
all have their separate duties and uses
all the happiness of man for then
object; they all improve, exalt and
gladden. life.-Sidney Smith.
