Business in New York.—As the natural
laws of trade wil I have it:business still re
mains dull and inactive in New York, not.
withstanding the almost universal revival
iu other parts of the country. The Com
mercial Advertiser says:—"The commer
cial community are disposed to be cautious
ih their busicess rperations, and where the
prospect for profit so small, avoid em
barking in transactions attended with
much risk: Under ordinary circumstances
purchases of produce or merchandise, at
he present depressed rates, would be
considered safe beyond co itingency, and
where, as is the case in many instances,
they are much below the actual cause of
production, we might reasonably look for
cDnsiderable purchases on speculation.
But in our present condition we cannot
safely argue from any thing in our former
experience. - The state of things which has
existed and which how exists, is wholly
dissimilar to any which has preceded it; or,
if in some points, a resemblance is found,
in others they are so entirely different that
a perfect parallelism cannot he established.
Miss Mary Darling, said to be the very
prima dcna of enchantment, has arrived at
New York and is •‘showing off" at the
American Museum. She is represented
as a being of most bewitching loveliness
and dazzling beauty.—LPicayune.
The above is a specimen of the "puffs
editorial" bestowed upon this lady. Our
readers would no doubt like to know
something about her, and we here give it
on the authority of a New York paper.
When the steamer Colun bia arrived last
Barnum got a paragraph inserted in th e
papers, among the foreign news stating
that Miss Darling, pupil of the great De.

few days after, her arrival was announced
in New York, and her engagement at Bar

From this latter place, her reason having

whose fame and beauty has agitated all
the thrones of Europe.
Pirates.—The N. Y. Herald sAys:—

the same gentleman that pubEshei the fed'

present project is a m' re matter of •buiti
ness, and that he is to be merely the os
tensible editor of the Sentinel, while it will
be under the control of oth-rs who do not
wish to appear in such an enterprise, for
fear the public might say they had some
personal motive in the matter. If this is the
fact, and if Mr. Scribe merely publishes
the paper per contract, the objections of
our cot respondent will not bear so strong
ly against him; although it has a good deal
the appearance of the Swiss policy of fight
ing for any and every one that will pay
him- The democratic - party will never
object to an increase of honest democratic
'Sentinels', to do battle for their principles,
but we do not suppose that they desire to
warp them in from the ranks of the Coon•
skin army of 1840, or that they can rely

'Some of the offi:ers of the navy are
now in our city, for the purpose of in-

for the Govetnment at Tredegar foundry.
The process of proving has been going on
for two or three days past. On Wednes
day,a ball from one of the cannon glanced
across the upper part of the Belle Isle, and
passed through the cotton-factory on the
opposite side of the river. It passed over
the head of one of the factory girls, who
was sitting at her work. Had she been

Quite a narrow escape. Precautions will
