THE FREE NEGRO LAw.-It is generally
known that law was passed by the last
Legislature which prohibited the visits of
free negroes to the State of Kentucky un-
der any pretext whatever. The law was
intended to apply, also, to free negroes from
other States employed upon steamboats,, and
its provisions have been rigidly enforced
recently against all persons of that class
landing at our shore, whether they disem-
barked or not. An infraction of the law
was declared felony, and the accused was
liable to be sent to the penitentiary for
period of six years. The statute was a
wise one in many OF its provisions, but III
some respects it was source of great in
convenience to commanders of boats, many
of whom employ free negro stewards, such
stewards being unable to visit the city for
the purchase of supplies Being largely
interested as a steamboatman, and a public
spirited man withal, Maj. Il. NJ. Sherley Wis
tied Frankfort on Tuesday for the purpose
of having the = law amended in one
or two important particulars. Such was
the Majors personal popularity with the
members of the Legislature, and such was
the force and clearness of the statement of
his wants, that the General Assembly read
lily yielded him all he asked and he returned
to the city on Thursday with the amended
law, duly passed by both houses and endors-
ed by the Governor. The new law provides
that free colored stewards of Steamboats,
may, with the written consent of the COM
mander of the boat, visit the State
for the purchase of supplies, and that
free coIored cooks and other employees of
boats from other States may visit Kentucky
SO long as they remain on board their re-
spective boats. The original law caused
quite stampede among the free negro en-
ployees of boats from other States, many of
them having been forced to abandon their
boats in this city and seek safety in flight to
New Albany, Jeffersonville and other con-
venient points. The free citizens of those
localities will be gratifed to learn that the
law mas been SO amended as to permit that
troublesome class to return to their former
occupations.-LOu.J Jour-

Financial and Com mercial Sum ma a.
#f ry for the Past Week.
The events which have taken place in the
Southern portion of the Republic, during
the week, have not had the least effect upon
commercial and financial matters, in this
city, but on the contrary, both moved on
more smoothly and more satisfactorily than
for some previous weeks.
I The State of Georgia resolved itself out of
the Union, since our last, making the fifth
State which has seeded from the Confeder-
acy, Theoretically, and there is but little
doubt that bsfore the 4th of March, other
States will follow. The demand for money
during the week has been moderate, but
the market has not eased down much
though the regular banking houses are tax
ing more paper at 1O@l2 per cent. than.
the regular rates, still the market continues
nncomfortably stringent. Short time bills
on New York, are taken at 2 per cent, but
not on New Orleans. Time paper on any
point in the Southern States, remains uu-
saeable, to any extent. --.--.
Exchange on New York and Boston has
huctuated during the week, and at one time
the rates advanced to prem; but this ad-
vance was not sustained, and the rates again
fell to ] prem. We quote: 4

Uncurrent Western bank paper has f1uc-
tuated greatly and suddenly during the
week, owing to the sudden fluctuations in
the rates of exchange, at Chicago, where the
Illinois currency is generally sent for SALE
The general business of the city was more
active during the week, and the exports
were quite heavy. The quantity of provis-
ion going to the different Southern States is
very large, and as the cash accompanies all
the orders from thence, together with the fact
that our provision men are realizing hand
some profits, this department of trade must
/ be regarded quite satisfactory.
Hogs have arrived rather slowly during
the week, and the indications are that the
season is about drawing to close. The
demand for them has been quite active, and
prices advanced from day to day, making
the whole advance during the week 40c per
GENITAL. The packers, owing to the general
advance in the prices of hog product, feel
| greatly encouraged, and are disposed to take
/ those offered freely at the current quotations.
| Yesterday the receipts were very light
| not exceeding 500 head, and consequently
but few on the market, but there was not
much pressure to buy, and the market
/ though firm, was quiet. The sales were:

Sumner Hunter, aged 2 years and months.
A little cherub with golden curls
And pretty words, which dropped like pearls
From rosebud lips, as the soft blue eyes
Brought ever and new and glad surprise
To the mother who watches and waits in vain,
AS she struggles with that great hungry pain
For the musical pattering, on the floor,
OF the little feet which shall come no more.
We may talk Of Heaven and the angels there,
But all of us want our angels here.
Who Of us are paiicI; and who are brave,
When the world holds only little grave!
When oil things bright and all things dear
Lie black as pail on ono little bier
We can only wait for the time, at hand
When we join our loved in the Better Land.
