I will not plead the present mom lary crisis as on excuse; lor every bo.lv knows that all, but those who are entirely pamlizcd, nerve themselves to a greater a* mount of work than foturerly: and should be more attentive to their duties. So the monetary crisis in this city won't do for an excuse. Hut suppose a cry-sis were to enter a man's domestic circle: would you ex. pect bite to bo able to pick \>p news, for Ids correspondent ? Would you suppose him capable of writing a loiter worth leadiou j certainly not.

Speaking of prophecies ; ii reminds me ; Do you remember that I prophesied only in October last, that we Would carry this State for the Democrats ? Ilo,v true has my word cotno 1 The Ji.ncks last year footed up a inajoi ty oJ'about So.uwu against us. but the idler second thought lias returned to the peo. plu of the Empire State ; and we i.<?w have near about lo 000 of a tnnjoiiiy against them.

A short timo ago when heavy failures took, every body seemed to sympathise?none more so than tho demo crats; but now the election is over,they throw off their disguise, and rejoice at it.

The evil is n >t a light one ; or one that : can be passed by, or easily disposed of.? The present state of monetmy affairs makes it utterly impossible for their former ein- | ploy era to give thein work and pay for it ; 1 and there i* no prospect that there will he a full resumption of business before the spring of '58. In the meanwhile w hat must these people do? Weare at the threslifmhl of a long, hard w inter. It is difficult for tery many of the laboring classes to live hero through the winter, even in prosperous times. It will he impossible, now that they hnve no work. The heart *ickc% at the bare contemplation of the misery that is entailed upon the poor people, hy this revulsion brought ahout hy those rich scoundrels, I spoke of in a former letter, that they might peculate a littlo more profitably, 'i'hese people must not starve?they must have bread. But how they ive to get it is a problem not yet solved. Our Mayor. Wood, has proposed for the city to give them work. This could he done on a pret ty large scale, and much suffering would he relieved. But Mayor Wo< 1 is attacked for this, most bitterly, by tin- Black Republicans. lie has, however, laid thu matter before the council ; and the absolute necessity to do something is apparent to every body. I hope some measure for speedy relief will he adopter!; for it is a sad thing to witness the daily gathering* of men begging for work; and to etc their processions, with * their banners inscribed with but that one expressive vow?bread. i much fear a winter of horrors is before us. May He who temper* tlie wind to the ?hor? lamb, avert from u* the e\ils of starvation. The Wood in or case is ended. The lady has left fir her home in the South. Her cuac wili be dieeuaacd for a few duyn l>y the lovers of scandal; and then it will give place to something else. Already is there a similar cius on tjie tnpia. liut those ol your readers who lo\o a little scandal now and then, if there he any audi, can find all of the disguu-eful details elsewhere.
