Business is extremely laDguid, and the attendance
The idea that the Bank Directors might reduce the
rate of discount to T. cent at their weekly meeting
to-day had almost vanished and thus the announce

Of the market The circumstance that the monthly

time when fresh from India will probably be
close at hand also tends to make speculative hoidsrs
cautious.

Gensral Walker in New Orleans,


1t will be seen from the following dis
patch to the Baltimore Sun tina, General
WILLIAM WALKER has arrived safely a,
New O.leans. He was received there by
"troops Of frieads" whom he assured in
a speech that he was not conquered and
success was Still certain. His arrival a,
New Orleans aboiishes the report that has
been so widely circulated through the
newspapers that he had avaied himself OF
British protection. We never did believe
'he report, knowing Walkers love of A.
american liberty and Freedom.
This report was started by The English
consul at AsPinwal and reached the Uni,
ted States through the correspondent of
one of the Mobile papers. John Bull
was arogaling 10 himself illimitable mag
nsnimiIy and kindness but "lrulh is
mighty and will prevail" and his gener-
osity and protection turned out false and
unfounded.
Walker is now in the United States,
but the slNggle is not yet over, the re.
generation of Nicaragua Is sure, and we
are confident demonstration will soon
be made in favor Of the "Grey.eyed man
Of Destiny"
The friends of the cause have no right
to complain or dispair Of the regeneration
OF Nicaragua. because their chieflain has
returned that matters not, his return is
for the better, and rest assured that SONG
thing acW "IIrn up and that shortly -
New Orleans, May 27.-The Empire
City reached her wharf at seven O'Clock,
ten thousand people were present Gen.
Walker, accompanied COL Jacques, Mr..
Pitcher and Mr.. Turner, agent of the as
sOcialed press. proceeded in carriages to
the ST. Charles, where Walker spoke,
expressing his thanks for the reception;
recognizing the American love of liberty
in the masses, and assuring them that VIC
tory was still sure. The greatest excite I
ment exists in the city. The ST. Charles
is besieged by thousands. Walker spoke
twice.
The California papers discredis the sto.-
ry of Crabbe's defeat and execution.
Walker surrendered because Captan.Da-
Wis signi6ed his intention of seizing the
schr. Grenada, which held Walkers re-
serve. Walker was kept prisoner by
the U. s. commander at Panama, not /
withstandng the terms of~caPitulalion al |
lowed him and his officers TO retain their
sidearms and Liberty.

A Melancholy Accident.

On Thursday evening, 23d inst, son
of Mr.. JACOB G.. UNsELD, of Sandy
Hook, near Harper's Ferry, and color
ed boy W was with him, were both
drowned in line Canal. Young UNsELD,
asprighily, intelligent and promising lad
of about Is years Of age, had on that day
been at School in Harper's Ferry, and the
colored boy was sens with horse to bring
him home. On their return both being
mounted on the horse, the latter became
frightened at some falling earth and
stones, and sprang down precipice of
some twenty or thirty feet into'the Canal.
The horse swan out, bur the boys sank
TO the bottom. Their bodies were recov-
cred a shor, time afterwards, and on Sat.
urday last the white boy was inferred.
His parents were devotedly attached to
him, and the feelings which his death
under such di'tressing circumstances has
stirred up in their breasts can better be
imagined than described.
