ASosmss Loss.-Ths old sayiag that inis'
fortoss rarely comes sinsly has bssn proven
true IN the case Of Mr.. Bsrwsll Of Rock

TRousLEp.-Ourr radical friends are much
troubled Of late, and maintain . digni6ed,
yet ex ,ssdingly mournfui silence, in regard
to Justies Davis, whe delivered the late de-
cisien Of the Supreme Court It 10 usually
the practice for them to heap Ill manner Of

DuLL.-For the past two months previous
to the closing Of the river q this point, there
was . general complaint among merchants
that business was dull. The streets wera
filled with teams and people, yet but Few

lers. or do much trading with them. The
farmers came into the city, sold their pro

beyond the csmprshthkaon
Of Oavsnpset. The people were not wont
10 do this yet the thing p'ainly says, che
farmers, - class, Of late years, have % cir-
cumssaness thsmselves, that financial matters
