From the n. 7. Herald, Nov. sth.
Emf1ratfoo at thta Port.

During the month of October, 1857, the total
number OF passengers, hOndsble and otherwise,
arriving at this port, as shown by the records at
dred and fity--ix-being an increase over the nnu-
Der landed here during the same month of 1886, o.
one thousand one hundred and twenty-six, and
decrease of two thousand six hundred and thirty
one from the month of Sept" her last.
Most of the emi rants arriving here at the pres
ent time are Of the better class, and immedat' u
start for the Far West, where some friends Of the
family have already preceded tn m, and ara await
ing their arrival Very many others hav" and are
ally starting for the East and South These N
most cases, however, are the wives and families OF
men WHO, having preceded them several years,
have managed to enough from their scanty
earnings to send out and bring them over.
The LARGEST numb of arrivals in any one day
uring the month was on Monday, the 5th-the
number landed at Castle Garden on that dav b inc
| 2 1O4, as follows On one vessel from Glasgow,
! I03; one do from Hamburg, pol; two DO from Liv-
| erpool 7S0; one do from Bremen, 1882 one do from
| London 173; and one do from Havrr, $50. The
/ smallest number landed on any day during the
same time, during which any landings wrre ct
| fected, eight. on one vessel from Rotterdam.
Il is thou BIT that the emigration during the re
mainder of the fail will continue to gradually de
crease, but not TO any very or at extent, and o.
| revived early in the spring, although not to 81
/ heavy ggure as last fall.
| The annexed table will show the comparative
monthly arrivals from the let of January up to tn

it will be that the balance thus far in favor

GLOOMY PRosPEcTs OF THE SHIPPING BUSINESS.
Nearly two hundred aud City ships harks and brigs
in this port, and the prospects for business
are gloomy in the extreme. The low prices OF cot
ton operate 20 limit greatly the shipment OF that
article; the small quantities Of Or adstufs on the
Atlantic seaboard check nearly all European
frrghts the troubles in India and the great stock
here of al India goods, operate most untavorable
uinst any new enterprises in that quarter, and
there are no charters offered save to few ports,
such as London and Liverpool, TO carry 10 those
markets gOois that cannot be sold here at any
price
Our warehouses are crowded with goods from all
parts of the world, and particularly from zoe East
Indies for which there is sale, nor will be for
months 90 come, such is the complete and entire
staguaton Of our manufacturing interests. Some
ts euty ships are still on the way here from the
East Indies. but no new voyages OF any ou-equenee
are commenced to that quarter such are the disas-
suits OF all present operations This cessa

Meeting Of HardWare Dealers.

An adjourned meeting of the hard ware dealers
was held at the Aston House, in New York, on FRI
day last, to hear the report of the committee ap-
pointed at the meeting the 23i of October. Mr..
A. R. Wetmore was called to the chair, and John
Davenport chosen secretary.
Mr. John G. Tucker made a report, stating that
he had written letters to firms in Boston, Albany,
Philadelphia and Baltimore, and had received re-
plies from the folio wing:
Curtis & Hand Philadelphia; favor of credit for
six months, hut willing to make it shorter. George
H. Gray & Danforth, Boston; object to longer than
six months, but would enter into combinations
Z. Hosmer, Boston; giving a report of the meet
ing of dealers there. Erastus Corning Co., AL
bany; generally approved the suggestion of shorter
credits. Shaefer Loney, Baltimore; decidedly
in favor of shortening credit to four months.
The report of the committee t. en- read. It
discountenances the habit Of extravaganza and long
credit which prevails, and ends With the following
resolutions:
Resolved That in view of the advantages arising
from udicioHs credit system, recommend that
hereafter sell our goods a credit OF months
taking for the same, payable at bank with the
curr, MT rate of exchan-e.
| Resolved That for cash payment allowance of
per will be made or interest at the of 10
| o. r cent. per annum on amount paid before mata-
! rity.
Resolved That we invite our brethren of the
| trade in neiahboring and interior cities to unite
with US in our efforts to establish uniform system
| of credits.
A long debate ensued, in which Messrs. Quincy,
Many, Livingston, Van Buren, and others took part,
when the first resolution was stricken out by the
casting vote of the President and the fOllOwiu G
! substituted:
ReSolVed, That the credits given by the hard
trade have been too long, considering the Gre
dts obtain; that this disproportiOn has been
one OF the embaTrassm epts the ira Re now abOrs
under, and that a safeguard against future d fl
culties We recommend standard of months
Tor notes payable at bank with current rates OF ex
change payable in New York.
The following also adopted:
RsSoiVed, That this change of credits shall take
place on and after January /, 1858.
meeting Of the hardware dealers of Boston
was held on the 81. The discussion of the subject
led to the consideration Of other kindred topics,
and there a general concurrence of opinio
not only that existing terms OF credit should b.
shortened, but that more punctual settlements
should be demanded by the jObbing trade, upon
the maturity of open book accounts. Il was also
urged that hereafter cash terms shoui be cOnsid
cred TO mean immediate payment inst. ad of thir
~ DAYS. On motion Of Mr.. Thompson, il Was yO
ted "that it is eXpedi. Mt 10 shorten the terms o
credit at present given by the various branches O
trade represented in this meeting"

The Value of Beauty,

We seldom copy Fanny Fern, as she is generally
only pert. In this she is truthful as well as
piquant. and every father and mother should read
it, and learn to avoid the lie:
Mamma. am pretty?"
'GNo nv ar; but beauty is of no consequence"
Now. what an unmitga ted fbi and every dsy of
that child's life she will be fning it out. Why not
tell the truth-that beauty IS of consequence, as is
everything that God made. Why not tell her that
the eve is irresistably fascinated by il; thata hand
some child is always more noticed by a stranger
than q plain on; Just as when walks in gar
den, beautiful invites admiration above its
fellow but like that, if upon examination, it be
found scentlrss, if it pieTcvs with sharpness the
hand that would caress 1.-THE gazer plucks it but
tious. whose sweetness will endure long after its
pale hu shall have faded away. 1t is right tor
people to be PLEASING, and it is not only right, but
a duty for everybody to look as beautiful as they
can Tell your chill all this; but tell her that for
the higher order of beauty, something beside the
body must BE- decorated. Tell her that the soul
must be washed Of bad passions-the cobwebs
brushed awsy-the dust of srlishDess wipe of,
and the chambers aired OF the foul atmosphere of
unchartableness. Tell her how respeudent the
souI can make the bOdy--how, like a light
within crystal vase it NJ kes fair what else we're
dark and Gin To human sight Tell her how b fore
il men bow down. hushing the hot breath of world
illness. g before Gods own presence. Tell Ter to
tr ad the earth with the triumphant step OF on"
who is heir to all heaven-srcond to Oh, l
have seen such Loity-yet loWly. No earthly
artit could trace tn. r beauty, sculptor mould
th~ir symmetry. To hear the rustic of their gar
ments was to feel the sweep of an angels wing.
