petition .''.rose as to customers. I had a" agent, who examined every hotel, and became familiar with every country purchaser. To induce them to buv, it was necessary to sell on an extensive credit. 1 thu got off my goods, and received in paper and money the cost, and twenty per cent. profit. But now came the difficulty?I had rcne vt d m? old paper, and it had been negotiated?my former creditors had passed it awav. and the four and six months would come round at last. An then, to meet mv importations, I liad to sen remittances to England by every packet, gave for nv s-ore 5,000; I employed several clerks, all at high, but not extravagant, salaries. Being a large importer, I found it requisite to appear well, and took a house in Place at -SvVdOO rent. To furnish this in style was left *o my wife, who called to her aid the wife of a friend, who was a still more extensive dealer, and the undertaker was only limited by the injunction to see that every thing was "quite genteel," and to my surprise, all their bills amounted to twenty-five thousand dnlhrs for which I gave my note at six tnos. Then we dealt at a fashionable grocer's and ordered the butcher to fil' up the bi'l of fare sent by the footman. I had a sumptuous dinner every day at 5, and at I took i lunch ut Dclmonico's, and o'ten a bottle of Champaignc. The ? - 11 -.-P.:? Theatre, occ. were sniau him uiv were only in the style of o hers doing a large business. I kept a carriage as we lived up town?my tailor brought in h s bill and I was nof disposed to be small; in fact I flourished. But bank notices would come in, and not having any more notes left that were bankable, I called on a broker to aid me, and by deposire of business notes, I got the on per of a resident, which, with mv innp, was discounted, but I had to pay two and a half per cent, per month for the exchange. This process was repeated until mv choice paper was gon^, and then the price of discount was increased, but I knew the country note^ would fall due in the spring, and all would then be well. At last it become doubtful whether all my country paper would be paid, as I learned several of mv customers had been engaged m buying up lands. One stated that he would never have bought but the credit induced him to do so, and then he thought he could just speculate a little. At last one protest followed another, until I found my a?-ailables were gone. I had to wind up, and I stand thus?

Men acquainted with the facts and- disposed speak the truth, do not pretend that one in a thousand of those who have suffered by the present derangement of the money market is chargeable with extravagance or mismanagement of any kind. And not one in ten thousand of them has been as downright a fool and knave as the mm who gives tins account of own efforts to deceive the public by appearances. lint his history, although it has no bearing upon the present state of the country, is a good illustration of the disposition of many men when hard run to "shew out," at the expense of their creditors. A man oi real wealth is commonly not more apt to be ostentatious of it than a man of strict honesty is apt to boast of it or a man of true verac.ty, to confirm Ins statements by an oath.? A man who lives beyond bis income is always a knave as well as a fool. A man of good sense is always an honest man. Among the toasts at a pubhc dinner in honor of Mr. Webster, at Lexington, Ky., were the following: The Memory of George Washington. The Consjiliun of ihc United States.?A sure bond of Union and Ark of Libejty so long as it is admin.stored in the spirit ami purity in wiiich it was adopted by the people and illustrated by Washington. The Union of the States.?The only safeguard of liberty and Independence, national power, glory, and happiness. Our Guest?Dan ill Webster?The defender of the Constitution ; not for his fame, but for Ins deeds ; not for his place, but for pure and eminent worth, does Kentucky, m her head, and in her heart, honor such a patriot and jurist and statesman and citizen. The establishment of a National Bank ami the passage of the Land Bill.?Thev will bring 4> healing on their wings" to our suffering country?44 a majority ol the honest and intelligent freemen of this land ' now demand them from the approaching Congress. Shall tiieir voice bo obeyed ? The present awful ar1 distressed cor.T'icn rf our country.?Gar only weapon is the ballot box. Let each man, then sleep on his matcliiock and keep his powder dry. Henry Clay.?We, his neighbors, who know him best, hail him as the man of principle, always ready to throw himself into the breach when his country is in danger. His course, through a long lite in our service, endears him to us and to all lovers of liberty. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and ,he Commonwealth of Kentucky?The one the Alatron of the East, the other the eldest daughter of the Confederacy, separated by mountains and rivers, but united in patriotism and principle: in the great struggle for constitional freedom, they have stood side by side, the brunt of battle, and, with Daniel Webster and IIenry Clay at their head, they stiil burn to buckle on their armor in the same good, great, and glorious cause. George Poindexi er?Untramcl'e 1 by the mandates, unsoiled by the infamous plo>s of power, and unscduced by the shining gold of Presidential patrorag ,he has fearlessly averted his own independence and the liberties of his coumry ; Kentucky will ever prize pure patriotism and scorching eloquence, whether displayed by her native or adopted sons. When the toasts complimentary to Air. Webster and Gov. Poindexter y ere read, those gentlemen severally made eloquent acknoTvledneinents : j NEWS FROM FLORIDA.

Trcmcntlious Hail Storm.?We understand lys the Macon Telegraph, of theO'h inst.) M a very severe hail storm passed through juston county, 3 miles below Perry, on ednesday last, almost entirely destroying 3 crops on the plantations which lav in its ite, particularly that of the Rev. II. E Drown stroying his whole crop of cotton, which is in a very nourishing condition ; his corn is also very materially injured. It is said a gentleman who was at Mr. Brown's out an hour af er, that the hail was knee ep at the time in the hedges of the fences d 'hat Mr. Brown walked over his Held di;tly after, and affirms that the hail must ve been I'd inches deep all over his planton.

The Crops.?The coming season bids fair tys the Buffalo Advertiser of the 3d inst.) be on'-* of the most productive ever known. :e .Agriculturists have been taught a useful son, by the experience of the past year, ft there probably was never so much ground t under cultivation in the United States, at y one time, as there has been this spring, ir exchange papers from every quarter, ng us cheering accounts of the state of the )ps, and all anticipate a rich harvest. This really good news.

IIow j frightfully does that now a Uric ted portion \ ol onr common country pay for trusting itsell to the Albany Regency, and for trans- ' porting it troin Albany to Washington! j How melancholy the reflection upon this j act is that if the specie now going out in ! rvery ship had been permitted to go, as it ' would have gone if Gen. Jackson had not i pocketed the Treasury Circular, the spe- | cio would have been in the vaults of the Bank ol England in season to prevent j much of that contraction of issues and that ! limitation of credit to American houses ; which have so sadly knocked down the j prices of the great staple of the South !?

Having contracted c* O for a number, he called the Commercial Agency, at St. Lou?, to "shell out" some ot the " metalic currency," placed in its vaults by Mr. Whitney's influence. Major Anderson was not to be so easily caught, and profered the horse-dealer the " better currency." Inasmuch, however, as Major Brant's "pro- 1 mises to pay," were to be fulflled by specie, that the farmers might verify their neighbor Benton's prophesy, the " horse checks" were refused ; and, as we are informed by the St. Louis Republican, the " soldiers must go with- | ouf their pay, and the dragoons without their . horses."?Cincinnati Whig.
