TIE Boston Post, in Its weekly review OF finance ana
business, observes:
"As 10 money, the market quiet for the present,
but the increased demand that may be expected TO
occur az the year advances cannot but produce soe
what advanced rates. Many people believe, how.
ever, that money will be easier and cheaper next
month than il is nov; but we conceive that the turn
ing point has been passed. and although with the
increase Of cotton shipments, and the falling of OF
nportstions there will be fluctuations in the rate and
supply vet If we consider the main stagnation
of the exceeding chespness and abundance of credit
during last year, we must admit that as bnstess re-
wives and capital becomes useful to its legitimate
svuers the Accommodations in the cities must soon be
checked and afterwsrd diminished; and that upon the
whole therefore the money market of the cities must
be higher and higher, though Temporarily influenced
one way or another by the passing facts of the day.
In short, experience and common sepse lead one to
behsve that money must average dearer than it's
low, for it is yet far below an average condition,
whether regards price or supply, while its tendency
has manifestly been upward Of late, although general
huaiDess has but just begun to revive"

OBITUARY.

DrED, On Thursday morning, the 18th instant,
SAMUEL j. MCCORMICK, in the Bath year OF
his age. nn- His friends and acquaintance are
RESPECTFULLY invited to attend his funeral at III
o'clock this Saturday morning, from his late
residence on Cameron street.
With the deepest feelings of sorrow We notice
the death OF our friend and brother, ). J. MCCoR-
NICK. We have known him long and we'll, and
can truly say, that We have never met with more
noble and generous heart than he possessed
Those who knew him best, loved him most; SHOW
ing that he was sincere, honorable, and warm
hearted That he had the confidence and ahec-
ton of this community, is shown by his almost
unanimous collection to the responsible ONCE OF
Auditor Of the city, which office he filled with
ability. His sudden demise has created vacuum
in the domestic circle, in the Church, and IN the
community, which cannot be filled, az he was u
devoted husband, afcctiouate father, Jealous Chris
tisn, kind neighbor, and good citizen. Whilst we
mourn his loss as q friend and brother OF our
Christian Association, We have great consolation
in the we'll founded hope that his spirit, "baving
been washed in the blood of the Lamb" hath en-
tered into ''the rest prepared for the people OF
God" We mingle our tears with those OF his
afflicted family and pray that God may overshnd-
dow them with his wings, "and lead them into
green pastures and beside still waters. and at last
take them to join the loved one who has just gone
up to possess tho bright spirit land above 3.
At Baltimore. on Wednesday,, the 18th instant,
Mrs. MARY TAYLOR KEY. in the 18th year OF
her age relict of the late Francis S. Key for many
wears a resident of Washington. and author OF the
patriotic and highly popular song known as "Ihe

From SYRIA.

The Jafa O"t,u9e.-A private letter re-
ceived from Syria, dated Beirut, April .,
contains the following intelligence.
News came ten days ago from CONSTANT
nople that the government decides that the
four men now in prison, convicted OF partl-
cipating in the outrage at Jatfa, last year, be
condemned to the gaIleys for life, and that
the one who is not yet caught be condemn
ed to death. The testimony of the four CON
dennis the other, and they escape with their
lives. 1t is said that our Ambassador mas
written to Washington for Instructions Al,
Frank residents here hope that orders Will
come from the President that nothing less
than the execution ofthe prisoners will satisfy
the United States government. There VIII
be no safety in anything short Of this, Nc
American will consider himself safe if thes,
men escape the due punishment Of their
crimes"
