HARD TIMES The embarrassments of our monetary sys tem, throughout the country, have already commenced to operate upon those who can least afford to suffer at this moment. We mean, the laboring classes. Manufactories and workshops are being closed in many lo calities. The New York Times of yesterday haS a painfully interesting article showing to what effect this has already taken place In the locality which it chiefly circulates in. From this it appears that " daily, now, the effects of the bard times are felt in the large manufac turing establishments, on hundreds of me chinics, shop girls, sewing women, and day laborers, who did not feel them the day be fore." Several hundred laboring Ind, at work in the Now York Central Park, were suddenly thrown out of employment, on Wednesday. The cabinet-snaking trade is greatly depressed, wood being high, credit gone, cash no where, stock large, and sales small. The venders of ready-made clothes haVe greatly contracted the employment which they give at this season, in preparation for the winter demand, not only in the city, but for the Southern markets. It is esti mated that not more than a third of the per sons so employed will be,again in work before January. As the number of guests at the hotels has sensibly declined, the proprietors have com menced the thinning out of the waiters and other attendants, most of whom are married, with families. The manufacture of piano fortes, and all such articles, more of luxury than necessity, is also on the decline. In short, neatly every sort of business in New York feels the general depression. The same may be said of the principal cities of, the eastern States. Here, in Philadelphia, a good , many hands have been discharged, and we fear that a large proportion of these, unless mitte' greatly and speedily improve, will ex pekience hard times ere long. What provision for the future they have been able to make we know not, but we doubt whether they have laid ap n for the rainy day " any thing like an ade gnat° amount. 70 would impress one thing on those who give employment to the laboring classes— that, instead of discharging their work people, Piey would rather fall back on what is called OW time, and proportionably pay dower wages. It is better thus, than to keep some on at full wages, while others are literally thrust out into the street, without any means for supporting themselves and families. What aggravates the evil is the pertinacity with which, though the abundance of all sorts produce is remarkable, the prices of all sorts of provisions are kept up. After one of the most prolific harvests we were ever blessed with, these prices are not only as high, but even higher than they were, a year ago. How the mnititude, with diminished means, can conti nuo paying these excessive prices, remains to bo seen. ;Not only all sorts of farm and garden pro duce are thus kept up, but butcher's meat and bead also. Beef ranges at from two to three cents per pound dearer than it was this time twelve month: As for bread, we can only say that flour is fully two dollars a barrel cheaper than it was two months ago ; but the bakers generally do not make any difference in the size of bread. While flour is so cheap, it winild be wise policy in every one who can afford it, to purchase a barrel or two, for home censumptien—for as winter approaches, the price will run up. '1';) the working classes—the honest, horny handed sons of labor, who aro the solid founds tiOn on which society is based, in town and cquntry—we would give a word of counsel. %hether they be in or out of work, let them 9erclse the most rigid economy, and learn how to make a dollar go farther than they have ever made it go before. They, and all of us, should determine to practice rigid economy, not only in their houses, but out of doors. The necessity of the times requires this. And, when the pressure is relieved, when honest labor has full action again, it will bo well to adhere to habits of prudent economy thus formed. What was commenced from necessity, should be continued from deliberate choice. SBSPENSION OF HARPER & BROTHERS Yielding to the pressure of the times, and unable, under the influence of that pressure, to collect the amounts due to them all over the country, Messrs. 'HAMM, the eminent pub lishers in New York, have been compelled to suspend payments. For more than quarter of a century this firm has been distinguished by energy, tact, and considerable liberality in its dealings. At one time or another nearly every living author of America has had some bhsiness-dealings with Messrs. 11/111PEIt. The amounts which they have disbursed to paper makers, type-founders, compositors, book binders, newspapers, and also to authors and aipts, make a mighty aggregate. Their sus pension is a public misfortune, for we fear that it will throw a large number of persons out of employment—though, of course, the Magazine and Weekly will continuo to give work to a good many of them. There is no doubt of the ultimate solvent) , of this house. Their assets are said to be over $1,000,000 in excess of their liabilities. GENERAL HAVELOCK. Brevet-Colonel HENRY HAVELOCK, the hero of the present Indian strife—whose exploits have shown him, as yet, the only Man among the British officers commanding in India—who has made Cawnpore as great a name in the annals of British India, as Flassy was made by Purr, a century ago—has been rewarded by Lord Ettratair, the British war-minister, with a good service pension of $9.22 per week, and promotion " to the local rank of Major-Gene ral in the East Indies." Ho has not even been paid the compliment of getting (what NELSON fought for) a gazette of his own, but is set down after Colonel COTTON, an old Indian unknown to tame, and Colonel Mrrou au, a half-pay officer, both of whom are raised to the same local rank. It was not thus that M.i.vaLzos rewarded valor. Every one of his Twelve Marshals of France arose from the ranks, and received rank, not in driblets, not in mere " local " holding, but with its grade regulated by nothing but the greatness of the recipient's services. It le the belief of millions in India that the goh-imoor diamond will always be fatal to Its pos sessor, and that from the day it found a resting place in the diadem of Victoria the fate of the Englisl; Crown was Realed. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDA''.; OCTOBER 10, 1857. LITERARY CRITICISM. TIM CAMELIA LADY, ( ~L a Dame aux Camelias,") llterady tranelated from the French cd Ammon DrIlA9, the Younger. 1 vol. 12mo. pp. 219. E. J. iriarken, Philadelphia. This most dramatic of modem French novels was attributed, whoa first published, to the author of "The (Yount of Monte-Chaste." It woe Written, however, not by Dumas Pere, but Dumas fits. Dramatic it it, to a remarkable degree, for a molo drama and an opera—Camilla and La Trariats— have been successfully founded upon it. The play rose to instant end immense success, chiefly owing to the truthful, almost painfully truthful, acting of Madams Docile, and the opera contains a few furs which aro among the gems &nposed by Verdi. The original romance has never been translated into English, we believe, until now. The version before us is extremely well-executed. In Lot, It may be said to be teas:of:used rather than trans lated, from one language into another So much the worse, say we,—tor the book is diabolically clever. It is sensuous, and is Impregnated throughout with mock sentimentality,which thinly veils the vicious. nese it records. Everybody knows the main incidents of its plot, thanks to " Cattails" and "La Traviata," but on the dramatic and lyrical stage the grosser details aroJudiciously, suppressed. The luxury, the arts, the ad life of the meretrieieus heroine aro kept out of view, and, when the curtain falls, we pity whore wo should ,sontlemn. Analyze the plot, and what is it? a highly-catered narrative of the amours of p young Frenchman who is infatuated with one of the courtesans of Paris,—the hero sets up .for a man of sentiment and delicaey, yet forms a ell• minal intimacy with thle woman, at the very time when she is under the "protection " of, and luXuriantly maintained by, two noblemen. .The unfortunate woman takes a fanny to this Amerind Duval, (ono even of her class often gets st,t4gebtrd , to a person, who treats her with delieser• feetion,) and retreats with him, from her.wid ,, dd way . of life, .to rural - retardment.

So trite it is that violent passions soon wear themselves out. In this story, though the plot is extravagant and melo-drumatir, the author exhibits wonderful power and groat skill. The interest never Raga, and the narrative runs on so rapidly as to satisfy the most breathless interest. But the morale of the whole book is wrong. It is the beatifies tion of Vise. Nothing less. If not actually sen sual, it is worse—it is sensuous. There is no grossness of language, indeed, but a luxurious, enervating, mind-influencing feeling runs thrmiet the whole. It may be told that the story is really founded on facts, and that its heroine is a picture front life. We know it, for wo pertootly well remember what a sensation was created In Paris, a faw years ago, at the sale of the magnificent furniture, jewels, pictures, library, wardrobe, and articles of vertu, belonging to a celebrated forme named Mario Duplessis. But the truth of the story does not mitigate the evil of its tendency. The worst of all is—it is so well written that it is difficult, hating once taken it up, to lay it down until it ho read through, from title-page to colophon. Would that it were as difficult to take It up! Despite of our condemnation—it may ha partly on account of It—" The Camolia Lady" will find multitudes of readers. Not many will read it openly, perhaps, but a orowd will read and re read it in private. An adventitious interest is at tached to the story, in consequence of the charm ing manner in which " Camillo" has . been played at various theatres, and is even now repro sentc.d at tho,Arch-street Theatre, by Mrs. Bow ers. The book is so well translated, handsomely printed, and neatly bound, that it is a pity it can not be recommended on its own account. It Is dan gerous and clever.

Ho has taken Archbishop Whateley's text-book as the basis of his own, and has greatly simplified it, the object being to make it tin ele mentary treaties, by which the science of logic could be taught. The chapter which gives the History of Logic , —including the System of Aris totle, the login of Christianity, the inductive science of Bacon, (whom he erroneously calls Lord Bacon,) and the present system, is extremely lecid and sufficiently full. E. H. Butler, Phila. Miss A. E. Dupuy, author of several novels, has just published " the Planter's Daughter: a tale of Louisiana." Its name denotes its Southern lo cality. Scenery is brightly sketched and ohm tars well drawn in this story, but a main incident --agentleman's robbing the buried dead of jewels —is toe outré for credence. It makes a blot tpou what would otherwise he a clever romance. P. Fetridge, Now York. Mr. Evans (of the Gift-Book store) has just published a new and enlarged edition of " The World in a Pocket-Book," by William 11. Crew. It is late in the day to criticise a book which has reached the eighth edition, but it is not too lite to say that it le a sort of encyclopcedia of all aorta of statistics—a mult um ire parvo of information upon all subjects, brought down to the close of ISM. It even contains a Dictionary of Quotations (from the Latin, French, Italian and Spanish,) a chronologi cal table of Events, and a Classical Dictionary.

Vie following is a brief synopsis of a discourse prom:lied in St. John's (Catholic) Church, on Sun da imorning, the 4th instant, by the Reverend 'RP Rini. out any previous knowledge of the fact, the ion happened to be ere of solemn high mass— Jelailrolemn festival of the Announcement of the rmmaoulato Conoeptiose. After a protracted sme :Cepslon of the most Imposing ceremonies, the rev creed Nether approached the desk glitteringly attired in his priestly robes, and after reading eeve -1 et nf t tices to the congregation, announced the por tion of God's word which ho was about to consider fit the Instruction of the people, to be a part of the tl rit chapter of St. Luke Gospel. The passage then read was as follows : jr, behold, frora henceforth all generation? sliareall me blessed !" which passage constituted the latter clause' of the forty-eighth verse of said chapter ittiout any circumlocution, the reverend ex pounder of divine truth at once proceeded to the grand fulfilment of this important prophecy of the holy virgin. This prophecy had been uttered by a poor, ob i source maiden, nineteen hundred years ego. It web at bold and magnificent prophecy, and one that had met a glorious fulfilment in the Catholic Church. Yes, this prophecy had been uttered nineteen Centuries ago, by an humble maiden witheit friends or influence, ,4 fienreforth all gene iratioris shall call me blessed !" and it was their glorious privilege, as the universal church, nineteen hundred yours afterward, to confess the perfect fulfilment of this propheoy, for all mon did call this maiden blessed. But, ho would ask, why the, above all others of the house of Israel, , was to be called blessed? She had been among the Anent and humblest of her country—the spume of an humble mechanic—and then, why tole distinction? . It wan because the spirit of Rod bad pteinpted this prophecy within her, and had sent opt the decree that she was to become the future mother of the Messiah—the future founder of the church—the true religion of God, and the re ligion that all nations of the earth were solemnly bound to embrace. Simple gratitude alone would require Ibis, us halted come to redeem us. But elf our gratitude and admiration wore thus demanded for the Saviour, how must we feel to ward the mother. of fetus? In the reverend fa ther's opinion, the nation or the people calling it self Obviation, and yet refusing to call the mother of Jesus blessed, was a heartless, ungrateful no tion, and could not claim for itself the common feel ings ofjeumanity ; and yet he would ask, with em tl_htSLO WHERE wee the generation calling itself Christian, outetde of the Catholic Church, that Meall her blessed in a practical way? No, no That generation could not be found outside of the Catholic Church a It was too true to admit of contradiction, that the opponents to the C itholie— the miry true Church—lead cast another foul blot upon a second Eden, by robbing the mother of awl of bar duo honors. res,, yes, it was a shame and a disgrace that practical hotrod and opposition to the maid hail been the distinguishing feature of the opponents to the Catholic church. But we must remember that Mary was the mother of the God of Truth, toad ham became the avowed enemy of all who oppe.sedt this prophotio demand to call her blessod. A bitter sententio was reserved in heaven to fall upon such outrageous heresy.' That would be an awful sentence that would C0111(1 down from 'maven upon those who, when the record should bo summoned from tho past, "enmity belweon me and the woman," bail been fmnd de• linqueat to this required devotion to the woman who had crushed the serpent's heed. Tho reverend Either felt a conscious pleasure in despising the opponents to the Catholic church, because they tfonnsnl the mother of the Cross! Tho glories of the Immaculate Conception had early been propa ialed et—lipbesus, I think, was the lot anon de signated. Allitho great St. Barnard had revealed this holy •votion about twelve hundred years ago Ho knew • thia„davetion had t ,beon mode the "abject of b , :calamity by their onpouonla, but ho / would re mind theta that sarcasm, abuse, and ridicule were no argument with honest men. A minute description of this paritculai devotion was here given, the main features of which were, that it eonsisiod of a formula of prayer. consist ing of passagesof the lioly Scriptures ; this devo tion was divided into three parts, which three were again each subdivided into five parts; and each of which live contained throe mere sub-divisions The peculiar characteristics of those several divisions were illso given. At the conolusion of this dosoription, he would ask, in vindioation of this form, whether it was wrong to recite the Lord's Prayer? Ico !no ono denied the propriety of this, for it had been given for the use of man ; and so too had this Immaculate Conception devotion been composed for the use of the church. Who would quostion the propriety of this sublime and beautiful devotion? As well might we call it wrong to recite the Angell c and yet this salutation had been addressed to the sumo individual they were now about to honor—the blessed mother of Joeus, and that, too. by the sanction of God. :The beautiful fifteen mysteries were next at. ldded to as compendium of the whole history of the Bible and of the lifo of the Saviour—his conception, birth, baptism, miracles, sufferings, orueillxion, death, resurrection, and ascension. This composition was said to be very grand. and suitable for the people. It was alike suited to the wants of the rich and the poor, the high and the low The masses bad always been the friends of God, because it was hero made evident that their souls wore as precious as ours. The rosary prayers wore also a complete composition of the whole religion of man, and that this devotion had always boon pleasing to God and pleasing to heavon'had been Awn again and again by attesting miracles. But it was sufficient to say that there was no clime or nation under heaven from which this beautiful prayer was not at that moment ascending to God It was resounding from every Christian temple in the universe; it was this day rising like incense from the highest hill of the Eternal City; all men united in its holy strain from the King to the beg gar—all united in singingglory to God, and should they alone refuse to unite with the Christian church in this delightful service? " But"—the question might be asked—" what means all this su perstitious mummery"" Yet, such a slur might have been east upon the Saviour with equal pro priety when his lips leered with inaudible words upon the cross, and they mit justly employ the same answer then given: " Father, forgive them, for they know nor what they do, "with the aim. ple alteration of the word " do," making it road : 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they say.” Now approaching the solemn ceremonies which he had been discussing, ho reminded them of what Jesus said to his mother before expiring upon the tree: "Woman, behold thy son!' and then turn ing to the disciples, lie added, "Behold thy mother !" These undying words had been uttered as the shepherd was about to be smitten, and the sheep to be scattered, and how could language more forcibly express the friendly relations which should forever exist between men and the mother of his Saviour! If we honored her, we had the right to expect her love in return; indeed, by this solemn injunction of her son, she was bound to love us, and mere especially so on the day on which they were then assembled. Wo should all, then, bless her as the mother of Jesus, and adopt her as our own, and we had hie word for it that she would be to us a good mother in the hour of our death, and he concluded by asking how a child of Josus could be ashamed of the mother of Jesus. When the sermon was concluded, the solemn ceremonies of the festival wore commenced. They occupied considerable time in their performance; but as they wore conducted in a tongue unintelli: giblo to us, wo con say nothing further to either enlighten or edify the reader. The immense edi fice was densely crowded on the occasion, even the aisles being thronged with humble suppliants. The pointed gothic arches resounded with the solemn music of a welbtrained choir, and the proceedings, taken as a whole, were doubtless eminently appro priate to the time and place. Tho New York Evening Post of the 7th re lates the following singular circumstance • "Un tho 21 of October we published the death of a mar ried lady of this city, which occurred suddenly on Thursday the let inst. Tho friends of the family assembled on Saturday, the 3d, to attend the fune ral; but it having been discovered early on that day that the body still preserved its natural ap pearance, it was decided to perform the services in the house, deferring the burial for the present. The body was accordingly removed from the coffin to the bed, and now continues in a state of perfect preservation and natural condition, on this the seventh day since its supposed decease. The ut most solicitude exists, of count+, in the family, and every effort is being made to assist nature in the restoration of her functions, although, as yet, no symptoms of active life have appeared. It maid seem to bo a case for the moat extreme measures to be adopted, lest the prolonged suspension of life nosy of itself prove fatal ; and yet instances of a pause of weeks in the natural poseurs are said to have been recorded in Europa." ART CRlTlolol.—Ambroso Philips, the poet, was very solemn and pompous in etinversation. At a coffee-house he was discoursing upon pictures, and pitying the painters who, in their historical pieces, always draw the samo sky.

[From the New York Dolly Times of the 9th ] The Jerome Knight, Captain !Bram Perkins, was wrecked on the 23st alt , off the coast of North Caroline. The vessel belongs to Messrs Whiton, Brown, & Wheel 'a right, in Boston, and had left Wilmington, N. C , Incited with lumber for Marseilles and a market She was a staunch built vessel, only a year and s half old, and already rode out two or three violent gales. There were eleven persons on the vessel when she was wrecked —the captain, mate, steward, five seamen, and the cap tain's wife and two children. one of them an infant but nine weeks old. Five days after the barque was a reeked, the parties were picked off by the brig &Beretta, from Rio Janeiro bound to New York. and brought safely to this city. Captain Perkins hoe gone on to Boston to report to the owners of the lost barque, and the crew. immediately upon their arrival here, hurried to their homes, the most of them living in Boston and its vi cinity. The wife of Captain Perkins still remains in the city with her two children One of oar report eta called upon her yesterday, and received the follow ing detailed statement of the particulars attending the loan of the barque and the trying experiences of hense;f, her two children, her husband, and the crew of the vessel: On the afternoon of the Met of September last, the Jerome Knight left Wilmington, N. C., but as the wind was blowing very fresh from the northeast, it was deemed inexpedient to go outside the bar that night. Next morning at daylight nhe got under way, and pro ceeded on her voyage, with a fresh breeze blowing from the northeast lowan! evening the gale increased in violence, and the topsails were dome reefed, the vessel heading to the southeast. The wind increased during the night almost to a hurricane, and there was an ugly cross sea. The vessel laboring heavily, wan put under short sail, and all hands were occupied throughout the night on deck. Mrs. Perkins lay sea-sick in her berth, thbugh it was her tenth voyage to sea with her hus band, and she seldom was sick. The rst intimation she had that the vessel was in danger' was shortly after daylight, when she heard the order event° heave the deck-load overboard. Soon after a heavy sea boarded the barque, filling the cabin, car rying the deck-lead overboard, starting the stanchions and causing the vessel to leak badly. Seizing her in tent, which was sleeping beside her In one arm, and her buy, eight 3 ears of age, who occupied an upper berth, in her other aria, Mrs. Perkins sprang out, and instantly (send herself up to the waist In water. Everything had been washed clean out of the cabin, including all their chests and trunks, containing her own, her husband's, the children's clothing, and every other movable ent ail,. Reaching the companion-way, she called out to her hr eband, '•Are Me going down '" The seamen were cutting away the foremast, which in a moment more want over the side with all the sails and spars attached to it Vila was done to ease the vessel, and prevent her tram capsizing. The next order was to secure the iuualt bar.. e , Wtala woo ticrani over en f....p--ef the house, bet before it could be done a Bea stove and swept it over board The pumps were manned and efforts made to free the easel, but the vile nearly full of water. All efforts to got her before the wind were unavailing, as she was too much water-logged to obey her helm, and so lay help less in the trough of the sea, the swell combing and breaking over her. Mrs. Perkins and children were placed on top of the house, and lashed firmly to keep them from being swept away by the sea. The crew also lashed themselves in the main rigging. Signals of distress were hoisted to attract the notice of any vessels that might be passing. but all further attempts to get the vessel under control and bead her to the westward were abandoned. Their only hope was to be fallen in with and rescued by come friendly sail. The gale continued unabated throughout the thy. Our lady sailor found it ss much an she could do to pro test her infant from being smothered by the spray Iler husband held the little boy. The children had nothing on them but their night garments. They were hungry, but as It was impossible for either parent to leave and procure food, they passed the day without it, and with out water. As night approached it was necessary to display two lights, one below the other, as a signal of distress. Oise of the men being made fast to the end of a piece of running rigging, essayed to find the lamps in the cabin. and, if possible, some provisions also One lamp was found in order, but the other was without oil, and the oll•can was underwater. In this dilemma, a bottle of castor oil was fortunately found, with which the lamp WWI tilled, but then there were no matches to light theta with. Ono of the crew worked a couple of hears trying to ignite two sticks by rubbing them together, but when the effort proved abortive, another search discovered some matches, and the lamps were both lighted and placed in the riggi❑g Two hams and four cans of pre served moats w ere all the food that could be found The gale continued through the night, and such was the violence of the sea, they were in constant fear that the vessel would go to pieces. It was a dismal night. The children utterly exhausted, slept it out, however In his dreams the boy cried for water, but there moo no fresh water to be had Toward daylight of the 25th the gale moderated. Ma hope once more revived that a sail would appear. They were only about seventy five miles (tom land, and in the direct track of vessels bound northward. They watched with longing eyes, one man being stationed to the main top gallant crosstreas all day, but no sail ap peared, and night again closed around them They passed,it as they did the previous one, only with less in convenieigeo from the roughness of the sea. The little boy cried constantly for water. The mother thought he would perish from thirst In the agony of the child both mother and father forgot their own sorrows The infant had a better time of it He was 'diving in clover " His supply did not fail, and in their misery the little fellow's smile was all the comfort left, except hope. Portunately it was not cold; the water of the Gulf was tepid, though while the wind struck them they were somewhat chilly. Day dawned once more upon them. (the 2tth.) and every eye was strained to catch a glimpse of some sail. They were doomed, however, to pass the whole day without seeing one. Heaven sent them one relief. however,ln a generous shower of rain. They caught a barrel water from it, which fully satisfied their thirst. They passed the night of the 2t3th, and the day and night of the 27th, with no material variation of their experience. On the morning of the fifth day they saw a. sail to leeward, at a long distance, but it passed on without observing them. In the afternoon another sail was discovered to windward. It bore down to them, and proved to be the brig Altevella, from Rio Janeiro, bound to New York, which took the wrecked company on board, treated them in the most hospitable manner, and landed them safely in New York on the 3d inst. They were all entirely destitute, and most of them had sore limbs and boils, caused by the hardships to which they had been exposed, but all very thankful to the merciful Providence which had saved them, They all express great gratitude to the captain, officers, and crew of the Altevella for the kind attention shown them on board of that vessel. The Jerome Knight SI EVA valued at ill,OOO and was fully insured In Boston Captain Perkins is an old, and has been a successful sea captain, never having been wrecked before except in one case, when ho put into Bermuda in distress.
