The present stag nation in almost all brunches of business, is severely felt by those engaged in the mechanic arts. Within a few weeks' past, several thousand persons of both sexes have ben summarily thrown out of em- ploymenf, and deprived of their usual means of obtaining a livelihood. For the purpose of culling down present expend ture, to correspond with diminished receipts, men have been discharged from nearly all the large manufacturing establishments, (one iron firm discharging as many as 500 hands,) and a stilt larger reduction has been made in the force employed in the ship-yards, and at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where between 200 and 300 me chanics have been discharged during the present week, in the latter case, chiefly for want of work to be done. The reli gious Societies, some of which employ may persona in connection with their pub lishing departments, feel the pressure in their diminished receipts, and have mate rially curtailed their operations. The American Bible Society, we understand, has discharged a large number of hands, mostly females, and those remaining labor only a portion of the time. The Tract So-. ciety has retrenched by diminishing the hours allotted to labor, and some hands have been discharged. A number of new railroad enterprises have been discontinued, in consequence of which several thousand men are unemployed, U is to be feared much distress will be occasioned thereby. The inducements offered by the General Government To enlist in the army and navy, afford a means of relief to some. It would be natural to suppose that this state of things, coupled with the compara tive depression in mercantile affairs, would supply the requisite hands required by the merchant marine ; but the scarcity of sai lors apparently continues as great as ever. It is estimated that there are now at least twenty ships, of an aggregate tonnage of 30,000 tons, ready for launching in New York and the Eastern States. Yesterday, in consequence of an agree ment to cut down the wages of coal-beavers and firemen to the old rate, (from $30 and 940 to 920 and $30 per month, respec tively, as they were previous to the "strike" last Spring,) the wharves in the vicinity of the ocean steamers at times presented a scene of much excitement Bands of men,, numbering perhaps 300, who bad thrown up their situations when the new terms were proposed, marched from one steamer to another, to compel unity of action, and intimidate any from laboring, except on their own terms. - All the steamships, how ever, successfully resisted the combination, except the Baltic, which was obliged to assent, on account of the proximity of her day of sailing. The owners of the Black Warrior succeeded in engaging a new set of men at the reduced rates, which greatly enraged the combination, and nothing but the display of u strong police force prevent ed groVs acl3 of lawlessness. On the evening previous, one of the men who had thus engaged, unfortunately fell into the hands of his old companion, and had one eye gouged from its socket. Five or six men, supposed to have been implicated in the act, were arrested. The other tnen em ployed on the vessel were counselled to re main on board fed and otherwise provid ed for by the police. One gentleman con nected with the ship, who was recognized by the papers in hi hand, was followed by a large party for some distance but was protected from assault by the interference of the police. Other steamers were simi larly beseiged, and serious annoyance ex perienced. Some time will bo required to restore the equilibrium between the value of labor, real estate, produce, &c Journal of Comuneree. . PIERRE SOULE. Was born at Castiilon in the Pyrenees, during the first consulate of Napoleon. His falber bad risen to the rank of lieutenant-general in the republican armies, but afterwards returned to his native mountains, and exercised the office of judge which was hereditary in his family. Pierre was destined for the church, and in 1816 was sent to the Jesuits' college of Toulouse where the holy fathers soon marked and appreciated his abilities. Young Soule, however became dissatisfied with bis situa tion and left the college. He was after wards sent to complete his studies at Bor deaux. At the age of fifteen he took part in a conspiracy against the Bourbons, and tne plot Having been discovered, he was obliged to take refuge in a little villiage of rsavarre, where he remained for more than a year, following the occupation of a shep herd. ; He was permitted to return to Bor deaux; but he longed for a more exciting scene of action, and accordingly repaired to Paris. Here, in conjunction with Bar iheletny and Mercy, he established a paper advocating liberal republican sentimen's. This of course, soon brought bim under the authorities, and he was put upon his trial His advocate, on that occasion, was a friend named Ledru, who appealed to the clemen cy of the court in behalf of the prisoner On the score of his youth.- This line of defence did not suit the prisoner, who rose from his seat and addressed the court in an impassioned-strain denying the criminality of his opinions, and defending the rectitude of his conduct. Hi3 eloquence did not save him from St. Pelaifie. whence he succeeded, with the aid of Barthelemy, in making his escape to England. Disappointed in his expectations of obtaining a situation in Chili, which had been promised him, and finding himself alone in a. strnnge country, woolly ignorant of the language, he return ed to France. At Havre, he met a friend, a captain in the French navy, who advised him to seek an asylum in the United States, and offered him a passage in his ship toSt Domingo. Soule accepted the proposition, ; and arrived at Port-au-Prince in September, 182o. rorn this place he took passage to Baltimore, and finally removed to New Or leans in the fall of 1825. - FRENCH BONNETS & MILLINERY.

THE ARCH-BISHOP; on, KO.IlANlSM IS Till: UNITED STATKS. ISIBODl'ciogr, Tho public are so accustomed lo Lave descriptions of persons and times so deep ly enveloped in the mystery of the past that, not one of the actors of those periods live to controvert a sentiment or action wrongly ascribed to them, that doubts hav arisen whether a tale related of events so recent that many of the characters in it still survive to peruse its pages, would find a welcome in the hearts of the people, hs free and warm as that accorded lo its mystery-clouded, but perhaps less truthful con temporaries. - There was a time, years ago, when, from the Arctic to the Southern Ocean, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, not an Europe an couldte found on this continent. In those times, in Europe, men were burnt, impaled alive, ami doomed to wear out their lives in loathesome dungeons, if sus pected of entertaining religious or politif.al sentiments different from their rulers, while on those dearer than life to them, their defenceless wives or children, -their tor mentors exhausted their inventive powers to heap new indignities and outrages, to escape from which they welcomed death as their only haven of refuge. Justice had indignantly taken her flight from the scenes of such cruelty, while Mercy, with bowed head, and her while wings trailing in blood bedewed dust, wandered n fugitive, though her mournful cry of Spare me ! spare them P never ceased. In those ancient days of horror, a ship, laden with humanity, left her ensanguined shores to seek safety among the savages of America, who were less cruel than their brothers. This ship was the May Flower, and bravely, nobly, did she bear her pre cious freight, which was to be the gerrn from which sprang the freest nation on tho earth. This crew of hardy pioneers land ed on Plymouth Rock, and there, with the primitive gigantic forest towering above them, while savages and beasts of prty lurked around in its shades, they consecra ted themselves end the land they proposed to subdue to liberty, freedom, and a refugo for ihe oppressed. Here man gradually resumed his dignified position, each indi vidual being on un equality with his broth er in rights and rank, strove to excel in virtue. Thus they grew strong in r.oblo deeds as they grew strong in numbers, un til the American colonies had swelled to three millions of souls of freemen. The countries lhat drove them forth stood aghast three millions of freemen had arisen, as if by magic, from the fruits of their tyranny at home, and they reaolved to force them back o the chains lhat had so galled their ancestors. But it could not be bravely the freemen defended their right to live, and think, and act ns their consciences dictated, acknowledging no allegiance but to the soil on which "they were born, and to the God who made thern The hordes of hireling serfs that had been sent to wrest from them their liberty, wero driven back to their masters, while tho shouts of the victorious freemn rose and swelled until the glad sound was heard in the remotest corner of the earth. Many attempts were made after this to enslave these sons of the hardy pioneers, but with '-God and Liberty" for their war cry, they were invincible. Then the tyrants of the old continent trembled, for the new world was yearly growingpstronger ; aye, she even now de fied her whole powers combined to reduce her free-born song to the serfdom of her own people. One of these, whose throne was built of the gold coined from the blood of his martyred people, turned with long ing eyes to this new continent His pow er was waining in the old ; aye, his day are already cumbered, and be purposed to abandon his tottering throne and rear a new one on the new coniinent. This could not be done by force, but stratagem might succeed. Accordingly iis emissaries, la den with the poisons that had desolated Europe and clothed in the garb of peace, flooded every mountain and Tale where n freeman had reared his cottage smiling sofily, winningly, treading noiselessly, but leaving a slimy Irack behind to show the path of the reptile. The specious eoverin;? did not hide from the sight of out ances tors the loathesome trail. Washington's eye was upon it, and he t aid to those who confided and looked to him for succor in time of need, " Against the insidious wiles of Foreign Influence the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake. It is one of the most baneful foes of a repub lican government" " Hordes of serf, under the guidance of their masters, were trans ported to the land of freedom, to poison its fount still deeper, by their example. The poison worked and rankled among the hire ling: crew, but the free-born sons of the pi oneers stood firm and invincible. The beacon-like life of their forefathers was ever before them urging them on in the path of rectitude and prosperity, while the trumpet, tones of Washington never ceased sound ing in their ears, " Beware of Foreign f n-. fluence." Wearied, after long years, wiih strategy, during which time tho three mif lions of freemen had s we led to twenty millions, and seeing bis blood coined throne crumbling surely from hig grasp, this man of countless crimes, grew weary of delay, and hoped by one master stroke to over awe the freemen, and before ihey should recover from the consternation, to rivet around them his -chains. It is here our story must begtn. The cursory view we have taken was necessary to show wby and how our ancestors became fieemen, and the wiles that ha?e been employed to enslave them. Why ia keeping tavern a proof of consis. tency ? Because it's inn-keeping. Wby M a splendid hon like a flower J Because he's a dandy lion. When is a thief like a redbreast t When he's sr robbiif.
