ADVERTISING IN DULL TIMEs.-The
New York Evening Post thus gives the ex
perience of one of its advertisers in the
panic of 1857, which contains lesson for
merchants now "A merchant continued
his advertisement in our columns through
the whole period of stagnaton, and not
withstanding many predictions that ait
wouldn't pay" his testimony afterward
was that his sales were steady and bis prof
its satisfactory while many a merchant
around him who Couldn't afford to adver-
tise," saw his clerks stand idle behind the
counters. A financial panic does not mean
that no one has any money. There is plen-
~ of money in the country, and those who
hoard II are just the ones to be eager Tor the
bargains" which a fall in prices holds out.
But 10 buy they must know where to buy,
and the merchant who tells them will re-
ceiye their cash."

The cold weather has caused premature
closing Of the New York canals, which will
involve heavy and disastrous loss both 10
shippers of freight and boatmen. There
are four hundred boats detained in the near
vicinity of Utica, and it is estimated that
from thousand 10 fifteen hundred boats
are now on the canal between Syracuse and
Troy. The amount of grain blocked in on
these boats is placed at 100000 bushels,
and there are also large quantities ofapples,
potatoes, and other freight. In consequence
of this delay prices have already advanced
in New York. The money value of this
retarded freight is millions of dollars.

1T Is not in my power to
be with you at your meeting to ask for
justice for Cuba. Allow me TO add that,
longing for immediate emancipation in
this ntighboring island, where slavery
shows It's Infamous font, and always in
sisting that delay is contrary TO justice, do
not think practicable at this lnoment, on cx-
isting evidence, TO determine all our duties
in the recent case whore civilization has re-
ceived shock. 1t is very easy to sec that
no indignation at tho dreadful bu,chery Is
inconsistent with the spirit of the age, but
unh ppily aroused by an Illicit ilibusteriny
expedition from our own shores, kindred
TO that of the Alabama, for which England
has been Justly condemned in damages, 1t
should not make us forget that we are
dealing with the 81 anish nation, stlug Cling
under terrible difficulties to become sis
ter republic, and deserving from us present
lorbearance and candor. Nor can we for
get the noble president whose eloquent
voice, pleading for humanity, and invok-
ing our example, has so often charmed The
world. The Spanish republic and Eniilio
CASTELAR, do not deserve tue menace of war
from US. If watch-words are needed now,
let them be immediate emancipation and
justice in Cuba" success TO the Spanish
republic" "IIonor and gratitude to Emilio
Castelar," and "Peaco between our two
nations" Bearing these in mind, there
will be no occasion for the bellGerent prep
arations of the last few days, adding TO our
present burdensome expenditures several
millions of dollars, and creating war ie-
yer TO interfere with the general health of
the political body. am, gentlemen, your
faithful servant, CHARLES SUMNER.

two o'clock Friday morning that Mrs. Hen
Messy of Nelson street, thinking she heard a
noise in the kitchen crept out of bed and in
to that room to see if it was not Hennessey
who had been expected in for several hours.
On reaching the kitchen she found her lord
and master sitting on the floor with his new
silk hat in between his knees, and in the hat
several died herrings and about two quarts
of water. Mr.. Hennessey was cycling the
mixture with profound qualification. "John
Hennessey," screamed the lady, "what are
you doing" "Me?" inquired Mr.. Hennessey,
with a look of surprise. ''Why, Matildy,
