Many Of these houses are engaged in the East
India trade, and several in the West India trade,
and if any, very few and to a limited extent, are
connected with this country. In this particular
we are exceedingly fortunate, and can look upon
the destruction going on SO rapidly in Europe
with much more indifference than we otherwise
could. With our usual enterprise we shall turn
the ruin which has overtaken so many concerns
in England, to good account step in and Sc
cure the trade they have been compelled to
abandon, and make it a profitable source of pub
lie and private revenue.
The commercial classes of Great Britain must
be in horrible condition. 1t is astounding
what a number Of concerns, which have for
years been doing an immense business, have
been able to sustain their credit and keep above
board, when they have been complete shells I;
their substance all gone, and even worse-bank-
rupt for immense amounts. The crisis recently
realized in the money markets Of Europe, has
developed facts that may well startle the COM
mercial world. We cannot conceive OF more
rotten system Of credits, than that which existed
