PARIs, Dec. Ia commercial crisis is just now
weighing upon the city. On the stock exchange
everything has declined fearfully rail-
way shares, which, in two months, have fallen from
Is to clio, and seem disposed to fall still lower.
A stock broker has failed for upwards 100000
francs, and has taken himself off to England or
Belgium, out ofreach of the police, who, as gentle
men in Ncwgate would say, swami" him. Two
other stock brokers have had to be saved from the
failure by the assistance Of their colleagues. Some
considerable failures have taken place in Paris; and
at Lyons, Marseies, Nantes, and other important
towns eminent banking houses and other mercan-
tile establishments have failed also. Tradesmen
have little oy no money, and cannot get paid by
their customers. More mercantile disasters are
dreaded and, in short, everything is in deplorabe
state The primary cause of all this has been the
ovel-specuaton in railways, which occasoned great
scarcity Of money. A childish and foolish fear has
also contributed to it materially, that fear being
