Bankruptcy and Balls; In the city of New York some five or six ihoust and of the gentry applied for the benefit of the Bankrupt Law during the present winter. From this it w-ould be inferred that the time are hard but that cannol be the cano if wo are to judge from tho number of splendid balls that are given. There is not a night passing with out jumping, waltzing and fiddling ! To give our readers some idea of the "splendid extrava gance" of these entertainments, wc furnish the following particulars of a ball given hst week at the mansion of Mr. Lawrence in State street near the Battery. Three parlors on the first floor were lit up with 400 lamps, where the com pany showed off on the ''light fantastic toe." The dining room was on the second floor, and was illuminated with 200 lamps, and the halls glittered wiih the ravs of eighty- chandeliers. At the door M20f carriages and cabs were in waiting for the company, Bargain. Fij Itioutlc. Sating by Ihc Ah elderly gentleman residing not far hence, who had been notorious for his fighting propen sities, though far from being a bully, was final ly compelled to knock under to almost every ono ylio attacked him, by his age and infirmi ties. His will fur fighting was as good as ever, but his power, he was forced to admit, was gone. lie was accosted in his dilemma by a stout, double-fisted Kentilckinn, anxious to procure some situation, lie had worked on a farm, brought down horse's on a flat-boat, whipped every thing of his size and weight, and in short, was ''all sorts bf a chap" at rough work Gener ally. The old hero of our talc bethought him that he had now met with exactly the man he wan ted, lie was involved .in sundry annoying dif ficulties with his neighbois, and being utterly unable to fight himself ou of them, he akel ihe Kentuektau if he would undertake to do his quarrelling for him at so much a month. The liiiter said he had taken a hand at almost eve- rv thinsi and was willin to undertake alibi rough lighting if he were well paid fot it. A bargain w;as struck, papers were passed, and the.Keiituckiau hired himself to do all the old gentleman's lighting at thirty dollars a month i.iiiii nil. mi - i Mil mill. ir. iiwirt. iiirm n rv n-ii nrnr I A . a 1 I....

"Why don't y'ou lake a man of your own age and size?" said he, squaring off, and beginning to dance round his adveisary in vi manner truly belligerent. To cut the story short, they went at it pell rneli in a most furi ous sivle. The battle was a long and severe one ,- how both were rolling, biting, and gouging '111 t ft. - i I- 9 upon tile ground; then they were on their feet liamnieriiig away with the utmost fury. For A.

This wns all verv lial'feriitg to the kentuckian "; but when he bb: gan to think over hts bargain, and reflected that he had been employed a few hours only and had already had one tremendous fight, he was inclined to ihink his situation not all so a- greeable as he had anticipated. The old gen tleman saw what tt-jR passing in his i'riii.d, and accosted ilim with: "1 hope you like your nrvvsituation ?" The Kentuckian he-itattd.

It will perhaps be recollected that about a year and n half ago, the St. Louis papers gave an ac count of a woman who had been discovered in the woods near that city, almost naked and apparently quite Wild. It appears thai she had lived in this manner until lately, "when the se verity of the winter drove her to a human hab itation, and there, being much exhausted for want of food and badly frost-bitten, she expired. Previous to Iter death she became quite ra tional, and gave the following account of her self, w hich we condense from the St. Louis Organ: She was born in New-Jersy, whence with her parents she had removed to Cincinnati, where they lived until she grew up to woman hood.

'Twas evening! the ship was gliding through the deep calm sea; the green waves rising beautifully the moon, clear and unclouded, was swelling in her silver beams to ihe billows bounding beneath, and all was still save the lul ling dash of tho waves against the prow of tho vussrl, as gracefully ehc wended her way through the trackless wasto of waters, proudly surmounting each succeeding billow, and dash ing onward "still a thing oflife." At this hour, seemingly made fur contemplation, Columbus, ihe discoverer of America, retired to his cabin. Ho was far from his country, and for aught he knew in the midst of a boundless ocean. His seamen were ready to despair; debating wheth er it were not best lo mutiny; and even himself, fatigued with the unremitting and laborious duty of watehing and tho numerous oiher duties of his station wsa inclined to doubt the issue of his hazardous enterprise. Wearied with foaming plans to encourage the discontented companions of his voyage he had half resolved to return when suddenly, as he meditated on his perplexing situation, a form stood beside him, far more beautiful than those that peopled (earth.

Constitutionality of Valuation and Shop Laws We learn from the Madisonian, that an im portant constitutional question is now before the United States Supreme Court, which i deeply interesting t this country. It arises in a case brought up from the district of IilinoN. The facts as presented to the Supreme Court, are briefly these: Arthur Branson a citizen of tho State of New York filed his hill in tho Circuit Court of tho District of Illinois, for the foreclosure of a mort gage executed by John II. Kinzie, a citizen of, the State of Illinois. The mortgage brars date in 1S3S, It contained a pow er to sell, in th usual foim, tho surplus to be paid, over to, the mortgagor. On tho 17th February 1841, the Legislature of the State of Illiunis enacted a law forbidding the sale of real estate, except under certain prescribed conditions; among other?, was a re striction on this power, to wil: that the proper ty sold,, should be first appraised, and the salo should, not tako place unless it produced a sum equal to two thirds of such appraisal. Tim I question presented lo the Court, we understand as it is sought to be applied to the moitgage of 183S, is, or is not, repugnant to that provision in the Constitution of the United States which declares that no State shall pass any laws im pairing the obligation of contracts."
