THE MONEY CRISIS IN ENGLAND.

The subjoined article is from source which en-
titles it to attention. as the reader will discover. The
intimate connexon between the commercial trans
actions of England and those of every part of the
world is such that whatever deeply affects the great
money market of London is felt every where, and
especially throughout this country. The public,
therefore, in crisis like the present. are looking
with anxiety to the state of affairs in England, and
cannot fail TO take interest in whatever may tend
to throw light upon it. They will, we doubt not,
derive instruction from the remarks of our cores
pondent. These remarks we think should tend to
abate in some degree the apprehensons which have
been excited not only by actual events in England
but by the croaking of writers in some of the Eng
lsh papers, and also of letter writers quoted by
press. Letters are referred to, said to be from
high mercantile authority, written to prepare the
public mind for greater disasters than any which
have yet occurred. We cannot pretend to say that
such forebodings entirely unfounded, but we are
inclined to eopnon that they proceed from high
ly excited state of feeling and excessive alarm, and
that they probably greatly exaggerated. The
remarks of our correspondent, we trust, may tend
in some degree to quiet the apprehensions thus ex-
cited.-BoSton Daily advertiser.

THE ToBAcco CRoP.-The tobacco crops Of both Mary

il is pretty well asccraned that the produce this year
will exceed half crop; but the proportion of
good quality will be much larger than last year, and will
probably be larger than ordinary years. because the plant
