Weather = disappointment of Merchants in
Spring Trade-Death of Mr.. c. F. Honey
Spirit of'76-Amusements, dc.
BosroN, MASS, April 80, 1859.
To the Editor of the National Era:
Since my last, we have had the second chap
ter of the same cold, raw, uncomfortable weather,
cloudy and east winds, keeping the women in
doors to considerable extent, Ito the great det
riment of the dry goods trade,) making those
unfortunate ones who were forced to be out,
both men and women, look blue and uncom-
Portable; but "May day" comes tomorrow, and
we then hope for a change in the "spirit of
our" - weather.
Trade is quite dull, to what was expected
early in the season. From the very earliest
spring sales, the merchants, wholesale and job
bling especially, formed very favorable opinions
for the later sales, and all were expecting very
brisk times, which expectations have not been
realized to any great extent; for, though the
sales have much exceeded those of last year in
many branches, and perhaps most, there is
much disappointment from expecting too much
too soon.
G. F. Hovey, Esq, of the wellknown firm of
Hovey & Co., died quite suddenly on the eve of
the 18th inst. Though he had long been suffer
ing from what the physicians termed infamma-
tory rheumatism, he was not thought to be in
immediate danger. In his death, Boston loses
an esteemed and worthy citizen, an upright and
enterprising merchant, and human progress a
firm friend and supporter.
The first number of the SPIRIT Of '76 is out.
1t is quite good-looking paper, devoted to
Literature, general intelligence and the sup
port of American principles" and sells at four
cents.
For amusements we have some new things.
At the Boston Theatre, Mrs. Barrow is now
playing an engagement Last night she had a
benefit, and crowded house. On Monday, Bur.
ton commences engagement, and will APP
pear in his best characters. Ullman comes on
the 10th of May. At the Museum they have a
new play, Lord Timothy Dexter somewhat
local in its character, believe, and have seen
it mentioned in severe censure by some, and
praised in moderation by others. have not yet
seen it.
Morris Brothers, Pell, and Trowbridge, start
on a professional tour through the country on
the 10th, and cannot fail of success for their
talent in their parts and the desire to please
cannot fail to secure good houses, and we ad-
wise all who love to laugh to hear them by all
means.
Ordway's Eolians continue to present their
attractive bills, as usual, in their happy style.
They are fortunate in having one of the finest
halls in the country, and one will spend a
pleasant hour there. Among the items, is the
expulsion of several more scholars from the
Elliot school, for refusing to say the Command
ments, &C., and the granting of an injunction
to Mr.. Burnett against parties using his trade
marks and counterfeiting his cocoane

three days out, shipped heavy sea, and lost
her quarter boats. The steamer Water Witch,
which sailed in company with the Fulton, was
considerably damaged in her upper works in
the same storm. The Fulton arrived at st. Cath
arine's on the 23d of March, and met there the
steamship Washington, bound to San Francisco.
The steamers Fulton and Water Witch left
Barbados in company, on the 23d. Heavy
weather was experienced off Cape Hatteras.
The st. Lawrence sailed from Boston about
the 18th of March. The Sabine was to leave
Montevideo on the 2lst of March, with Com
missioner Bowlin and the rest of the fleet
would soon follow. All the vessels of the ex-
petition were to return to the ports whence
they sailed. The above intelligence is furnish
ed by assistant engineer Burrow.

Bas~ Rev. D. P. Livermore, Editor of the
Chicago Ne~ Cocenant, says of Browns Bron-
chial Troches: " We have frequently had oc-
casion to test the efficacy of Browns Bronchial
Troches," and have invariably found them to
answer the purpose for which they are recon-
mended. Through our influence, others have
tried them, and always with the most beneficial
results, and so from our own personal expert
ence and observation, we know them to be
superior remedy for colds, coughs, and bron-
chal complaints. No family should be with
out them, and every public speaker will find
them absolutely invaluable. The two distin-
guished divines Of our country, Henry Ward
Beecher and E. II. Chaplin, bear testimony to
their excellency, as our readers can see by
getting a box Of the Lozenges.

South, which he is sure to get, one or two
Northern States to elect him.
We say, then, let the candidate in 1860 be
truly Republican, and let the party retain the
Republican name, and these will insure US Re-
publican President.-Fort Wayne Republican.
ILLINoIs.-The Chicago Press and Tribune
says:
"We have seen of late several ill-natured re-
marks, in some of the Wisconsin Republican
papers, upon the failure of the Republican
party in this State to command success. Let
US assure our friends of Wisconsin, that if they
had Arkansas hitched ON to the lower end of
their Commonwealth they could not be in a
worse condition, politically, than we are here.
The population of Wisconsin is homogeneous
mostly-the Germans, Scandinavians, and Irish,
excepted-of Puritan descent. 1t compares
favorably with the four northern districts of I'LL
nois, which are Republican by 10000 votes
any day in the year; and we hope to be par
dOned if we say that Wisconsin ought to do as
well! We did not give Illinois to Fremont, be-
cause of Egypt, which is even more Pro-Slavery
than South Carolina itself. But the Republi-
cans, in calling to their aid, by promises which
are never broken, and by legislation which is
only just, the great mass of the Protestant and
Liberal voters of foreign birth, have laid the
groundwork of victory, of which neither the
Milwaukee Sentinel, the Madison Journal, nor
GAINESVILLE Gazette will complain

SCRIPTURE. is something of which they
know but very little, at best and it is unsafe for
them, therefore, to touch it. Er gr.: In his
letter to Hon. David Hubbard, Gov. Wise, of
Va, says: "The Reubens have tried to sell me
into Egypt for my dreaming"
The Governor has reference, doubtless, to
the story of Joseph being sold into Egypt, but,
unfortunately, he has got it all wrong. "Reu-
ben," it so happens, was the only one of the
brethren who did not acant to sell him. The
Governor should join Bible class right off,
and let Goggin go.-N Y. Express.
