The -The Worcester County Republican, a paper printed In the iuterinr of Muiaoltusotti, Main a part of the coun try where a considerable proportion ot cap ital in Invented in mandumrn. ipeaki fee lingly of the hardness of the time* in that pert of Ike oountry. It seems that it Is quite fashionable there to ascribe the em bacmssment and distress that prevail, to the transportation of specie cut of tho country. Those who account tor the matter in thU way seem to suppose that certain people are perambulating the country pkking up the cash, aad leaving us without a circulating medium. The Worcester Republican asks these people "why the times were not more pressing when larger quantities of specie than at present were sent to foreign mar kets?" He might have inquired also to what country these sagacious disccrners of the signs of the times suppose the money Is gone. What nstlon is so hsppv as to pos sess the abundanco of specie, ot which we are deprived? England, It seems, Is in a worse condition than we are?rher Immense manufacturing population are almost in a i?tote of insurrection on account of .their low ^rages, or what we should call In this coun try "the difficulty of getting money. France, It sc?m*, has not possessed herself of "all the specie," for her inhabitants cannot muster enough to pay for their bread nnd are breaking out in riots on account of the deomess of com. In what corner ofjhc world, then. Is the specie lr.dden, which once formed the currency ot England, Prance, and America? Will any of the philosophers wlio talk so wisely about the drain of spccie answer this question? In the meantime let us hear the account whicli the Worcester paper gives of the state of manufacturing ana other business in that part of the country. " Manufacturing has been ovei stocked by those who have had no capital. Many have rushed into business without funds or ability to sustain tho operations which they have set oh foot. The prices of manufac ture* have been reduced, and so it happens with every thing else?t'.ie markets are dull ?real estate has fallen, nnd there Is ? gene rnl depression in all kinds of business. The farmers are in debt, their lands ire mort gaged, the price of labour is higher than produce, so that nothing ">* but a scanty sub sistence can be msde from the cultivation of the field/* [From Air. IItime'> Sfteech on the Urltith SUA Trade* Houte of Common?, April 14ih 1839.3 44 It wu quite impossible to promote commerce by a restrictive system. That system had been tried in France, and it had completely failed. Let him take an h? ntance. At Terrcre, whleh waa the Pale tey of France* the spinners of fine yarn ask ed for protection against English yarns. A very large duty was Imposed upon all Eng lish yams, and the consequence was, that the manufacturers ol muslin and fine cali co, who could not do without the fine yarns, which the Preach manufacturers could not produce, were obliged to have our yarns brqught in by smuggling, at the rate of be tween 60 and 70 per cent. Now, when it was recollected in what mode the French guarded against smuggling,?-that there were military cordons in all parte* ot the country, through three or four of wmcb, at least, smuggled goods must pass,?It would be eaaBy Mmevea how difficult it was?nay, how Impossible it was to put a stop to smug gllng where the ineentnre was sufficient ly great. This place was now in a tfat* of complete destitution: not one out of ten of their looms were In employ. English cloths muslins had been introduced, the smug* glers beginning to sell as soon as they had passed one eoroon, and so on. If e would ghre another instance:?An ingenious and well known individual obtained a patent in this oountry for machines for the manufac ture of bobbin-net. which effected a com plete change in the manufacture of lace. That Individual finding that he had secured the markets in this country, which he had by the privilege of his patent, removed to France for the purpose of making bobbin net there. Flnalng, however, that he could not do without English yarns, lie obtained them by means of smuggling, and had them conveyed to Paris at the rate of 40 per cent, lie did this for a time, merely to Introduce the article. Since then the same Individu al had removed some of these machines to a town on the fvontlcr,?he would not men tkm the name of the town,?and there, In hpite of all the French government could do, he continued the manufacture at the ex pense of 20 per cent. S* it was with Swiss Jewellery. Though SwUs Jewellery was prohibited in France, yet Jewtllery bought in ftwHserland was actually delivered to thi purchasers, if they pleased wlthom risk, at Paris. These instances ought to he ? les son to France as well as to this country, <ind teach them that the restrictive system would not do.' The present depressed state of the wool len manufacture, seems to occupy consider able attention. It appears that since the year lilf, a very considerable decline has taken place both in the growth and manu facture of wool, in the United Btatea. If things continue as they now are, It is appre hended that in the course of 18 months, eve ry woollen mill in New England will becloe* ed. These facts ought to excite the serious attention ol every true friend <4 the interests of his oountry. It must be apparent to ev ery one, that something must be done, aad done quickly.?Con. Jour.

Amid ?tb' ? throng was?the narator stopped, and . the horror of expectation we drew In or breath. .Vnong this throng therefor'.. lie continued, my attention was drnw.i by sonic one at m> side, toward* a cci tain rrnnciscan Monk who stood na m< tionless us a column, he was gaunt and tal'-. his face of an ashy pale, with a look full' earnestness and sorrow fixed upon thebrW- ' party. The joy which amilea on tttMfcce.. of all those round him, seemed not fPmak'. the slightest impression upon him, he pre served the same unchanged seriousness ?f mien, standing like a bust among the liv iug. The strungenus of this sight, whic had n deeper effect upon me ns I met}it, i the ardour ot pleasure, forming a cootrn to all what surrounded mc in Mich a strl!. ink manner, left a lasting impression ttpr my soul. Often I attempted to withdnr my eyes from that terrific ftgrirc, but invo luntarily they fell ugaln upon it; and fotii;. it cucli timu unaltered. 1 pushed m companion, and he did his; the *ume curiu* ? ty, the same surprise, ran through tit* whole company} the conversation was at n . end, there was n sudden general pause; tint monk seemed uneoncerncd.

The table is removed, the guests diaper - - themselves here and there, the family gatli em into a nat vower circle; the monk re mains in this narrower circle uninvited. 1 know not how it was, that no one venture', to acoost the monk; but nobody did accot him. Already were her female attendant, gathering around the trembling bride, wh< > cast an appealing look towards the strang er; the stranger did nut return it. The gentlemen collect themselves fh the s^me manner round the brldga-groom there wn. an anxious panne. "That w? should be alt thus happy," began finally th" old man, who among all neraona alone di' not seem to take noticc of the unknown. o not to wonder at hitu?"that we are tin s happy" said he "and my son Illcronym.) absent}" "Have you iM.tcd him, and he ism'. comc.>" inquired the monk. Thla waa th first time hi* h?ul or>cn?d his mouth. \\\ looked nt him with fiorror. "Aim! he is gone, whence no <me re turns," rcpHed the old man. " Reverem'. sir, you d?> not understand me. My ant. Uiernnymo is dead."' "Perhaps he is only afraid to make hi appearance in such a company," continue*' the monk. "Who knows now he ma} look, thy son Hieronymn! Let him hea the voice which he heard for the last time s Hid thy son I.orctuto call him." " What docs this mean?" murmured all. Lorenzo changcd colour. I confess that mv hair began to stand on end. The monk meanwhile am>roached th side-board, where he took -\ full wine-glus and put it to hi* lip*.: " The memory of ron dear 1 licronymo!" cried hf, " let ull wh< hold him dear follow my example." "Whoever >011 may be, reverend sir/' rricd at luvtiltc inari;ul?, M yoo have men tioned the name of one very dear to You arc wtlcojnc' come,my friends!

A glass still remain" full there. " Why refuses my son Loren zo to drink tliis friendly toastf" Lorenzo received tlie glass trembling, from th. monk*? hand?trembling he carried It t.? his lips: "To the memory of my dear!/ beloved brother lli-ronymo," stammered lie, and shuddering, put 4ft wh the glass. "This is my murderer's voice!"crlei! a terrific figure, which all at once rose U) amongst us clad In bloody garment# atvl disfigured with ghastly wounds. My senses had fonaken me the momei ? that I east my eyes upou the figure, and th< same with every other person. When w recovered our presence of mind, Lorenr,' struggled in the sgonks of death. Monk and apparition had both disappeared. At the end of a long discussion between father O'Lcary and a Protestant altoi ? purgatory, the father said in hi* usual J< cose way " well bone'-, yo.? may g" fartV and ft'r war"*.
