FINANCE AND BUsINEss.-The stagnation Of
trade in general. and the continued ease Of
money, are almost fatal to items Of interest
IN these matters. Considering the season,
the retnilers and grocers are rather active, and
for copepr, cotton, -four and tea, something of
speculative demand is visible. But. upon
the whole, trade is exceedingly inactive As
to money, it is more a more abundant as
the weeks roll on, and nothing vet appears to
contravene the opinion expressed some time
ago, that, as the spring advances, money will
be exceedinly cheap and dull. We are now
at the time of year when the cotton crop goes
forward most rapidly; and it is certain. that
as soon as navigation opens, the exports of
breadstufts at some price or other, will make
good the then declining shipments of cotton.
For some time, the exports of specie must be
comparatively small, although they NAV be
larger than usual in the spring months from
the collections from suspended and bankrupt
houses. On the other hand, however, the
dullness and cheapness Of money in London,
coupled with the wonderful and sustained
advance of stocks on this side, NAV induce
large foreign speculations in American seeur-
ltles and have a very favorable effect in di-
minishlng the specie outgoes from this coun.
try. The actual receipts from Europe in aid
OF our embarrassed railroad corporations,
also, will be heavy bey ond doubt. All the
foreign and domestic elements, of finance and
business, indicate ansextremely easy money
market for several months to come. Our
banks hold seoen and quarter millions in
gold, and ttose of New York nearly thjrty-oae
millions, with every probability of a further
increase. And yet, notwithstanding this
enormous dead weightsof specie, money is
very easy. In other words, and to say no.
thing OF future accumulatons, the markets of
the seaboafd are very dull and easy, with at
least t'oenty millions Of dollars an gold between
them and anything like stringency Boston

SPECIE AND BUsINEss.-The banks are &C.
tually burthened with the amount of specie
now in their vaults. In Boston, our banking
institutions hold a sum total of coin that
reaches nearly 81, 300, ,OOO-a larger aggre.
gate than was ever before in their possession.
This is a decided change from the condition Of
things few months since, when our banks
were supposed to be in danger, because of the
continual drain of specie from these deposi
tories.
The question with bank managers, at this
time, is not, how shall they restrict the quan.
tum of accommodations to their customers
but how shall they find customers. Business
is almost at stand-still, and therefore there
are no calls for banking facilities. The con-
sequence is, that money accumulates in the
banks, without any prospect of finding mar
ket which it would be safe to accept.
This financial phenomena will probably
continue till trade revives in some eff its con.
trolling departments. The shrewdest com
nercial observers do not anticipate that the
recovery from the deathly paralysis which has
overtaken business will progress fast enough
to make any material difference in the general
trading community until the summer solstice
shall have passed. Boston transcript.

MARTIUs MORETTI.

This gentleman called at our Office on Tuesday
last, and exhibited number Of papers, going to
prove his identity as one of the suffering and des-
titute Hungarians Of the war of 1S48. We course
could not VOuch for their genuineness but from the
credence given them by the different Railroad Su-
perntendents and Others they wear the air of TRUTH
at least.
We find the following notice of him copied by
the Augusta CoHsttuiionaEis from the Southside va
Democrat:
"His object is to receive assistance from our char
liable citizens being anxious to establish himself in
some business. Moretti was a lieutenant in the
Hungarian army, led, by General GeOrgey, which,
in 1913, displayed such indomitable herOism, in the
cause Of It's country The ablest Austrian Generals
were everywhere defeated by them, and their cause
seemed triumphant. But the Emperor Of Russia,
anxious to crush the spirit Of revolution and liberty
sent an army Of one hundred and twenty thousand
into Hungary to assist the tyrannical Huugari-
ans The revolUtODists struggled against these
great odds with wonderful success until the latter
part Of lS49, when General Georgey surrendered a
force Of thirty thousand men to the Austria Russian
army. Lieutenant Moreui was among those who
suffered, and after being subjected with the other
patriots, to the most barbarous treatment imprson
ment, confscation of his estates, &C., he escaped
with his wife and three children TO this country in
1856, literally beggar. Since his arrival in this
country he has met with some severe losses, which
leave him in truly destitute state He comes with
many recommendations from men of high standing
in this country, aud has received assistance from the
Mayors Of Alexandria Pittsburg, Allegheny City,
Reading, Allentown, and many Others and last, but
by no means least, our own worthy Mayor, W. W.
TONNES"

MARRIAGE WITH DECEASED WIFE's SIsTFR.-The
question Of the legality Of marriage with deceased
Wifes sister has in consequence Of the decision of
Justice CressWeU and more recently Of that Of the
Vice Chancellor in the Of Brook Ggt Brook, to
which We have heretofore alluded, given rise to con-
siderable discussion in England. The opinion Of the
latter Judge fully sustsins that Of his brother on
the bench, and it may now be considered settled
wifes sister, both being British subjects, performed
in foreign country, the laws Of which recognise
such marriages. is null and invalid according 10 the
Law Of England.
Against the severity Of this decision an earnest
protest has just been made at the annual meeting Of
the Protestant dissenting ministers of the Presby
terrain, Independent, and Baptist denominations, re-
siding in aud about London, who adopted a series Of
resolutions declaring that the marriage Of a man
with the sister Of his deceased wife is not forbidden
by divine law, and ought not to be forbidden by
human law that the pressure Of the English law
which declares such marriages invalid is much ag-
grsvated by the opinion Of Mr.. Justice Cresswen,
10 the effect that such marriages, although perform
ed in q country where they are lawful are net con-
sequenuy lawful in this country; and that as this
decision affects many marriages already contracted
as well ss others which may be in contemplation 1t
is now more necessary than ever to make strenuous
exertions for the repeal Of the existing law.
The bill introduced in the House Of Commons,
bv Lord Bury for the repeal of the law, is still IN
der consideration and from the prJverbial slOWness
which attends social and constitutional reforms in
England may fail 10 become law at this session Of
Parliament That the public feeling is in favor Of
the measure there can be little doubt

THE PRESIDENT AND MRS. DOUGLAS.
writer in the Press Of this city travelled so ia
out Of his way as to indite the following:


writer in the Press of this city travelled SO far
out of his way as to indite the following:
''NIrs Douglas has opened at the eastern end Of
the city q White House., which is santy visited
by thousands representatives Of the fashion, beauty
and intelligence Of our country, and by all the dis
tinguished foreigners who visit eur great Republic
Can it be possible that this fair lady, so versed in
all the eleganciss of refined society, has never YET
been invited TO participate in the rednements Of the
other White House, at the western end Of the ave.
nue?"
1t has never been our practice to drag ladies-snd
above all, Senator'S Wives-intO public, but the gen
tlemsn Of the Press whose departure from that we'll
established usage has become rather unenvlahly
notorious, obliges US, by his indirect structure on
the Presidents gallantry, to say word in reply.
President Buchanan has evnced his high appre-
citation Of Mrs. Douglass beauty and accomplish
ments in most substantial manner, by comforting
on her father, Mr. Cults heretofore subordinate clerk
in one of the departments in Washington, the i'm
portant Office of Second Comptroller of the Treasury,
with a salary of So 900 year. for which munifcent
gift the part Of the President, neither Mr. Cults,
nor Judge Douglas, have as yet made any adequate
acknowledgment. Mr.. Buchanan occupies the White
House, placed at his disposal by the people Of the
United States, and has nothing to do with the rival
establishment set up by Mr.. and Mrs. Douglas.
The peoples White House is at all times open TO every
citizen of the United States and whoever has wit
nessei Mr.. BuChanan's patient self sacrifice to the
thousands Of ladies who wish to see him and shake
him by the hand, will not accuse him of intentional
neglect towards lady Of such marked beauty and
accomplishments as Mrs. Douglas. Mrs Douglas,
unfortunately for the President fixed her receptions
and matiHss dqHSaRtss on the same mornings selec
ted by Miss Lane for her receptions and so it may
have happened that in the contest between the rival
White Houses, Mr.. Buchanan may not have been
found among the voaries Of beauty and fashion at
the eastern end Of the city. Mr.. Buchanan could
hardly be expected to lead the beautiful Mrs Doug
las to cotiIOn, while her husband was determined
to dance jig with him. Fortunately for all the
parties concerned and the whole country besides,

CAPTING BURLINGAME.

This redOubtable fowl, of the Boston coob, had
his feet knocked from under him the other day
slightly. The Washington correspondent of the
South Caroziniqn thus presents the circumstance:
"a few days since Mr. Burlingame made very
fierce Speech especially pitching into the Northern
"dcUgh-faces as be calls the Lecompton Democrats.
To this, Mr. Hughes, (DemOcrat) Of Indiana, re
piled. / copy few sentences, that you may see
how he handled the gentleman from Massachusetts,,
Of "Clifton House" notoriety:
"'DOugh faces.' says the gentleman from Massa-
chUsetts. Sir said in the presence Of many of my
constituents, upon a temporary visit to my native
State, that if every stump 10 Kansas was negro
every tree upon her soil slave driver would vote
for the admission Of Kansas under the LecOmpton
Constitution" There has been some controversy
as to the origin of this word "dough-face" The
correct etymOlogy is "doe, female deer and
think that il derives significance from the fact that
that animal is exceedingly timid, and when it comes
to the water (5roobs2) and sees its own image, it
starts back with alright. 1t well becomes the gen
tleman from Massachusetts, to talk about dough
faces. 1t becomes that gneteman to talk about
timidty. This is the defender of the Constitution
from Massachusetts! He is going to exterminate
dough faces. l tell him that when this Of
dough-faces is extermiuated the Union Of these
States is at an end. Then the gentleman from
Massachusetts will have an opportunity Of being
confronted with hese Southern men, and hope that
he will behave himself better than he did on q GER
