Th« AdvcrtUIng Butlmw.One of the most lucrative branches in . newspaper

In NewVorit the same facts indicate ihe Bame causes, and.rill lead U» the same consequences. The credit ad-we. tiaements are a loosing business.but the cashmam are certain, positive and beyond cavil.

How mean and contemptible do these editors ap¬pear in making such a publication ! Yet how easily tohe avoided. Dr. Stillman always paid us like a gen¬tleman. Why? Becauac I would not trust him. Inaed to say to him." My dear Doctor, if you want

Mtopay your washerwoman, I'll give it to you out andout, but as to trusting you I won't do it if you were

ma angel from neaven." The consequence is that Dr.Stillman always paid us.new esteems us, and onlyctfbcales such loafers as Charles King and his foolishlail of credit-going people.

But of the cash business we can speak from book.Out of curiosity we made an examination of theaaveral daily papers published on Saturday last, andwe find tbe following odd results :

In this remarkable table we have given the num¬

ber of advertisements as well as the squares. Wehave done so because advertisements are paid by thesquare- In real value, therefore, the twenty advertise¬ments of the Herald are nearly equal to ALL thecabh advertisements in the other papers, both pennymnd sixpenny> publishedin the cityfor the same period

liave already reached it. In the abave calculations«ra have excluded the penny Sun, because it is on it*last legs, and no dependence can be placed in its¦artance, rise, or progress forone week to come. TheHorald is the only paper now going.Visit to The Electbo-Magnetic Machine..On

Saturday last, in company with a number of gentle-man from Wall atreet, we visited Cook & Daven¬port's ingenious electro- magnetic machines. We.sere a little before the hour. " Never mind, gentle¬men, I'll open the exhibition myself.having seen

¦r. Cook make aome of his experiments on a formeroccasion. Taking the circular magneta, 1 placed them«sn the table.

44 Now, gentlemen, I'll ahow you how the worldwas created, and how Elohim gave it ita present¦form-''Then with a piece of white paper on the magnet,

mud a little iron filings thrown over it, we saw thecnrtous geographical arrangement of particles, in con-ceatnc circles around the poles, precisely as they ap¬pear on the map. " Beautiful ! exquisite ! remarka¬ble I" were the exclamations all round.By tkia time Mr. Cook entered. He then began to

exhibit his several rotary machines, and to astonishweiy one present.Of these machines he has four, of various sizes and

Sorain, but all of a remarkable and an ingenious con¬struction. He explains theoperation of the magneticpower, as he exhibits them.

Before the closing of the exhibition, every one pre-oent wss perfectly satisfied of the practicability ofapplying thia original power to cotton and woollenlactones,.to a variety of trades and occupationa, with¬out the least difficulty or hindrance. It is a powerwhich can be used in detail to anextraordinary extent,ftvsry household, agricultural or manufacturing opera¬tion can be readily performed by electro- magneticpower. We have not the leaat doubt but horses andoxen will aoon be dispensed with in ploughing, andtheir places substituted by these singular and mys-Isrwns machines. The only point yet untested is thepossibility of accumulating the power, on one wheal,to such an extent as to give motion to a large steamboot. In cotton or woollen factories, power is used

m detail.hence the immediate applicability of thiapower to manufactures. In less than five yeara weaspect to aee cotton factories entirely set in motion byelectro magnetism.The eompany departed highly gratified and per'ectly

fy The Chubch Bell «f Dr. Spring's brickchurch makes me pious, religious, heavenly-mindedand almost a downright saint. Every Sunday morn¬

ing and yesterday more especially. it came uponme like a voice from heaven saying. " What are youdoing, friend B.7 Are you married yet, my boy ? Howis your soul getting on 7 Are you spending your timein vanity like the rest of the loafers 1 Do you ever

weigh, in the balance, the joys of the heaven and thepains of the hell?"

1 heard Dr. Spring once, at the tail of a long ser¬

mon, but I must say that the solemn, pathetic tonesof his fine bell are to me the most eloquent and pow¬erful sermon that I ever heard proceed from thatquarter. Perhaps my want of appreciation of theDoctor's very natural preaching may have arisenfrom another and a powerful cause. A number ofbeautiful young ladies always attend Dr Spring'schurch. They are tastefully not gorgeously dressed.Now when I come within the verge of woman'scharmed circle, I never can .do what I may.attendto sermons. Verily, I believe if the holy apost'.es.St. Peter from Purgatory; or St. Paul, from his se¬

venth heaven, were to preach in such a church, Icould scarcely remember what portion of the HolyScriptures they took their text from. Such negli¬gence I know is very sinful, but to be a sinner in com¬pany with lovely woman is something so enchanting,that I have great doubts whether, in the long run, itis sin at all.

I trust the corporation has not conclude^ to takethe Brick church yet. To silence that pathetic, so¬

norous, heavenly-toned bell, calling the saints to ser¬

vice on the Sabbath morn, would be to cut up two-thirds of pure religious services, and a large slice ofthe pious eloquence of that venerable houAe.

Balance of Tbasx.Mabbying..The marriagesof Forrest and Rice, both to English ladies, is only a fairequivalent, a just liquidation of outstanding balances,as far as it goes, for the many husbands this countryhas furnished to English actresses. There was FannyKemble.she picked up one of our amiable semi-millionaires in Philadelphia.there was Miss Watsonshe did ditto.there were several others whose nameswe do not recollect at this particular moment. Butlake them all in all, England was undoubtedly in¬debted to America until Nat Willis, Nod Forrest, andTom Rice, took each an Engliah wife, and restoredthe matrimonial exchanges to par, or thereabouts.Specie is now considered stationary, or if any thing itwill flow towards this conntry.

Svicids..On Saturday morning, Mr. John Clotz,who resided at the corner ef Spring and Crosby ate.,retired after break faat to hie room, as was supposed,fer the purpose of reading. He did not appear at thedinner table, and was bei eved to be out on business.Towards night, however, soine one of the inmates ofthe house discovered his door to be fastened on theinside, which caused a suspicion that all was notright Knocking at the door, and receiving no answerit was broken open, when the unhappy young manwaa discovered lying on the floor weltering in hisblood, having cut his throat from ear to ear with a

razor which was found beside him. The wound haddivided the carotid artery, so that almost instanta¬neous death must have ensued.

A coroner's jury sat upon the body yesterday morn¬ing, but no clue could be discovered as to the cause

of the deceased having thus violently terminated hisexistence. In his chest were S500, but no letters or

any paper hinting of his design. Mr. Clotz was a

very amiable young man, twenty-eight years of age,and had boarded in the house fcince the 3d of Julylast. The jury found a vtrdict of suicide while undertemporary derangement.

The Bull at Pat erton, N, J.The beauty and chivalry of the hill-environed and

lovely little town of Patterson, were, on Wednesdayevening last, g .the red in the great Hall of the Pas¬saic Hotel, to shower on each ether the smiles of hap¬piness, and exhibit in the mazes of the joyous dancethe "poetry of motion," comprising the cotillion, thewaltz, the Spanish dances, &c. The day had dawnedobscured by clouds, whic i during the forenoon poureddownt heir fatness on the rich fields which sadly neededit. The blue sky at length was seen, and the pretty an¬gels seemed like hope smiling from heaven, to add totne pleasing anticipations of a clear evening. The ap¬pointed hour ar.i ved, the sultry heat ef the noon daywas succeeded by a most refreshing breeze, not a cloudspotted the blue empyrean, and the genial atmospherepageant with the incense of the country wa? :ne verybreath of vitality.I thought it paradise. The lowmurmuring Passaic, rejoicing that it formed cataracts,and drove milts, flowed by the Hotel, which seemedto make night's tranquil still sudible, but its musicwas at last hushed and forgotten 'mid the harmonyof other sounds, and the beating bosoms and over¬powering thoughts of the gay assembly in innocentrevelry pavillioned on its banks.The beauty, the fashion, and intelligence of the

town were assembled. It was the first ball which hadbeen for a long time, and many a day had previouslypassed bright to many a maiden heart with the expec¬tation of the forthcoming event. Pleasure had beencherished by its mother hope, but now all was to beenjoyed in tne vivid glow of reality.There are happy hours in the dull monotony ol life,

when one seems to forget his existence, and unfelt be¬cause forgotten: it is then that his faculties, his feelingr,and desires areas it were summoned by some incentiveforce to give the maximum of that bliss which to poormortals is so sparingly bestowed, and given but toleave us in our af.er state more sad and wretchcd fremUs contrast. If such were the feelings of the ruralcompany on the day succeeding the ball, what musthave keen his, who confined to the murky atmos-

f there of a close city, and the busiling, yet melancho-y every day sameners of kis sishr, his thought, hisfeeling and occupation, leaves theloveliness of such ascene to return to his place called home.But I must cease sentimentalizing, retrospection is

never so pleasing as the forward-looking hope; yet re¬trospection of passed delights, gives us pleasure butmixed with sadness. It is like an empty champagnebottle.The band expressly imported from the city, com¬

menced with an enlivening air, usherring into thebrilliant hall, hearts which were already dancing withjoy. A more social party was never seen, unmixedwith any foppery or conalrainirg formality,every thingwas characterised with a freedom and grace, that tocompare it'with the unmannerly assemblies which arepublicly given in a city, would be an imputation whichno apology could excuse. There was a select fewknown and acquainted,and the intercourse of heart andheart beating happiness.

But, O for a muse of fire to describe the femaleloveliness which gave brilliancy to the scene, and theraptures excited in many a manly heart, while drink¬ing in with extacy their indescribable charms. Oh !for a muse! a shilling for such a muse !.a shilling.

There was a charm in her mannerextremely captivating to one of my mould, and thewitchery of her voi< e and intellect of her face, madean impression nev<r to be forgotten. It was the ac¬complished Miss .....?, in whose company I wasluxuriating, and our conversation on natural historywas continued at every opportunity until the close ofthe festivity.

from the city (and we both had unexpectedly attend¬ed the ball) wan introduced to me, oil whom bounti¬ful heaven had showered all that ws lovely in woman,the exquisite symmetry of her features, the soft beau-tv of her eye, which was in itself a soul, and theblooming freshness of hercheek, like the twilight slowof morning, enkindled in his heart a rapture whichsave to him a new existence.it was the charmingMiss.From his firat introduction and throughout the even¬

and he heard a deep sign.I conceded every thingi n her praise, but to me though

superior in external charms, she was not the spright¬ly, vivacious and cu tivated Miss ..... "There isthe mind, the music breathing in her face," respondedI, but he left me to week the heaven ofhis bliss.He seaght her and >ot h enjoying a tete a Ute, continu¬ed to promenade the hall, the observed, I might say the

envy of all. On them all eyes were nvited, but theirjoyous discourse was interrupted by a very compas¬sionate lady who by way of a suggestion, hinted thatshe must be weary of walking and advised her to beseated. This, however, wss no impediment to theeagerness ol Mr. A., and he still gazed upon the heavenbreathing harmony of her face Hi another of her ador¬ers robbed him of Ins prize.The beautiful being was from Philadelphia, and onaccount of her extreme loveliness, we entitled her the" Maid of Cashmere."Wc cannot describe the charms nor tell of all the

fsir who graced tha* evening's sec ne. Suffice it tosay that every countenance beamed with joyoiisnessand every heart panted w ith the overflowings of de¬light. There too was the " little ridder" whe in spiteof an elderly and apparently jealous attnrh* wss in¬toxicated with the waltz, and continued with asprightly vivacity, glecming from her mirthfulhazle eye to please and delight her admirers. Theretoo was the daughter of mine host, whose blushingbeauty beamed in many an eye, and the rathercoquet tiah Miss ....{ and there loo was the prettybine-eyed Miss****, whose beauty was not eclipsedby any. and the gentle sofinees of whose eye wasbeauty s self.The gaiety of the fair was net diminished, nor had

the masculine breasts entirely exhausted their necro-msncy of pleasing, when the company retired st themorning's dawn, to enjoy the sweets of slumber.Then was there the parting of hearts beating in

unison, and the separation of happy faces not soonagain to meet.

MONEY MARKET.Sunday Evening, 6 o'clock.

The elements are again in commotion. The rise in stockgami good feeling, which prevailed In the early part of theweek, closed in a decline, a depression, and a general despond*ency. This gloomy state ef thing* arises altogether irons thenew policy ind icated by the government in relation to the cur*rency. We must prepare for a terrible conflict.%ut irom thisconflict, no matter who may come out victor, the.consequencetto trade will We equally disastrous. Yet in this condition of af«fairs, specie continues to arrive and to depart. This morning$33,000 francs arrived from Havre, and $50,000 from HavanaThe foreign trade is rapidly settling down on a mixed basis.and even goods ordered from England arv remitted for in ad>vance in the specie. During the week probably $500,000 inspecie has gone out.only part of it to pay debts.the rest topurchase merchandise. Thus ds we see specie taking the placeof bills ofexchange in our foreign exports and imports.The great question of the day is, however, the new positionof the government in relation to the currency. This policy in¬

dicates a further reduction of the standard of value, the end ofwhich no one knows. Let us analyze.During the last ten years, the gold and silver of the world

has gradually diminished in quantity, while the paper, either inbank notes or bills of exchange, as gradually increased. Pre.vious to 1825-6, both in England and this country , a similar procei .almost resulted in a similar catastrophe. The revulsion of thosey^orsdid not end in a general suspension ofspecie payments inthis country, because Hie paper currency had not expanded sofar in proportion to the specie as it has done in 1837. Yet thaiera, both in Europe and America, was marked by the samesymptoms.panic, faiiure, decline of prices, and destruction ofone-third of commercial confidence.

In 1826 and 1827, this country rapidly recovered from thatcatastrophe, because the government and the Bank of theUnited States acted in unison, and interposed their combinedforces to prevent final destruction. We could show this by un-doubted figures if our limits permltttcd us to enlarge upon sointeresting a topic.Since the revulsion of this year, !>eginning ia March last, it

is highly probable that failures to the amount of two hundredand fifty millions have taken place. , These failures consisted ofhouses that, like the banks, had undoubtedly expanded theirbusiness beyond all reasonable bounds. Yet if the new policy

of the government lie persisted in, a sudden return to a metal'lie standard, without any infusion of convertible paper, thesefailures will be increased to an extent not yet anticipated. Thegreatest destruction to exchangeable values, that m*y be cans-ed by such a process, will not take place in consequence of fail,ures. In comparison to the aggregate property of the UnitedMutes, the commercial failures that have been produced sincelast March, are a mere trifle. We can explain this idea moreclearly by reasoning Irom mathematical data which cannot lie.The value of real and personal property in the stale of NewYork (or 1836, as returned by the comptroller thus:.

Value of real estate in all the counties, $5.19,756,874Value of personal estate, 127,G39,48ti|6«i7 ,396,360

New taking Uiese indisputable data as the elements of an estimatefor the whole country, we can approximate to llie real fact..Considering that New York is the leading state in populationand trade, we may safely estimate all the twenty-five otherstates at a ratio of about ten to one. This would give us theaggregate property of the wltole Union thus

Value of real estate in the 26 states $V0OO,000.000M personal property, 1 ,000, noo.ooo#6,#00,000,000The whole amount of failures as compared with the aggregateproperty ofthe whole country will, therefore, dwindle down to

a mere point.as item.an lota. It may be stated thus :.Aggregate property of the Union, $6,000,000,000Deduct failures by the revulsion, 250,000,000

Remaining untouched, $5,750,000,000By this it will appear that the whole destruction caused by thecommercial hurricane of 1837 is comparatively a small itemwhen placed side by side with the aggregate property. Eventhe total destruction of the 800 hanks, with a capital of 9400.*600,000, would wot affect the great prosperity of the country, e»retsri for any length of time its onward march.The next curious effect produced by the convulsion in oar

monetary system, arises from the diminution of value* caasedbya curtailment in the currency. This will be seen in the foblowing table* i

1836 1837Circulating medium, . 120,000,(00, 85,000,000Gold and silver, . . 80,000,000. 75,000,00*200,600,000, 160,000,000

By this it appear* that since July, 1836, the whole mixed ear*rency of the Union has lieen reduced 20 per cent Now it Is awell known axiom in (ommercial science, that the currency of

a nation Uthe measure of value for the whole property, perso¬nal and real, which snch a nation may possess. By the sameratio in which a currency Is curtailed or expanded, so Is the¦ggregate property.or price.curtailed or expanded. Tbiaeveryone can easily understand by casting the mind'* eye uponthe rise of prices in 1836, during liie expansion of paper money,and the import of gold and silver, and comparing that pheno¬menon with the reduction of price* since the curtailment of pa¬per BHiney, and the export of specie hegon in May, 183T|The reduction of value In oar aggregrate property, may liecalculated tku* :
