The Gazette Of the Goth saJs:


MONDAY A. 1.-The money market on Sat-
urday opened without any eigns Of improve
ment, the feeling having been further dis
tnrbed BY runner Of the suspension OF the
Boston Banks. This proved to be incorrect,
but Ii was late 10 the day before it was con
| tredicted. The teleeraphis advices from
New York and Bostop, received in the after
neon, we're quite favorable unexpectedly 80
and under this intelligence bankers were
more hopeful At the close Of business, and
it WAS the impression of come OF the leading
men in the street that New York and Boston
would weather the storm and roll back the
tide which drove Philadelphia and Baltimore
into suspension. All the indications, as at
forded by Saturdays movements IN New
York, favor this view Of the matter.
uoos.-- The Galstte OF same date says:
The reeeipts Of hogs were light, compris-
ing only ! 900 head for the "a hours, but for
the lots offered, buyers werc not to be found
1T the prices asked. Sellers commended for
Sc, and buyers offered $5 rs, but with the
feeling that prevails at present among pack
.rs prices would give way rapidly If the mar
ket should BIO heavily pressed, that is II 5000
10 10000 head day should be offered for
sale.
Touching Devotion OF a Beautiful
woman 10 gifted Author.
Nj. dc Chateaubriand was, in l847, incaps-
BILE OF rising even from his seat; his memory
30 much gone that he had been heard to ask
for . friend dead twenty years before, and
his other faculties were much impaired
Madame Recamier bad endeavored to con-
ceal it from al even from herself. She could
net bear TO tell her dearest friends that the
intellect she had 80 entirely admired was
gone, and she attributed her own depression
| to his caring for nothing, not even for her
| lie had so completely lost oil power Of at
| tention, that he could not read, but he still
| had degree Of plain sense. He said moth

man who hides his poverty. IL was ever
more painful than ehildishness; vet at time,
CLEAN Of his former self would flash up n
surprise one. One day lady, calling at tht
Abbaye, made speech in favor Of Robes
