We have been blessed with rain in
abundance during the past week. Fears
which were entertained respecting the
shortness of the crops and the scarcity
of provisions, have vanished. The re-
ports from England of an abundant har-
vest, the recent copious showers, and the
increase of business, has given the city
a more cheerful aspect. Business is rap
idly improving. Boxes and bales make
many of the wholesale streets nearly i'm
passable. The London Times estimates
that $lOO, 000, 900, which was sent abroad
last year, will be saved to the Kingdom
this year by the abundant harvest. The
cotton trade was already feeling the eff
fects. Accounts from the harvest in
France and the North of Europe are al
SO favorable. Prices for most kinds of
imported Dry Goods are cheaper than
they have been for years. Many heavy
importers are selling their stock at auc-
ton, at a large sacrifice, and taking the
Auctioneer's notes in payment, in prefe-
n to running the risk with country
merchants. There is still great caution
used in giving credit to new customers.
We were going too fast. Every one was
" in haste to be rich !" and many over
shot the mark. It is well that the great
Railroad frauds caused the breaks to be
put on and steam let of, and that we
could look out and see what is ahead
and the track clear, before we started
again. There has been too many goods
imported that could be as well manufac-
tured in this country, and, consequently,
too much specie exported to pay for them.
There has been too much money locked
up in Railroads and Real Estate, that
should have been used in business. The
error is felt, and the prudent will profit
by the experience. Railroad securities
are gradually recovering from the shock
dealt upon them by the discovered frauds
of SCHUYLER, KYLE and CRANE. Stocks
have been quite huctuating oflate. Erie,
the leading stock, on Friday rose to All
in consequence of the Presidents state
ment, and fell again to Al. The bulls
and bears" are tired, each fearing the
other. 1t is thought that the Eric will
not rise higher than it is now. Over
500, 900 in specie goes out in the steam
er to-day. A new bank will go into OPP
GRAFTON shortly, to be called the Nation
al Exchange Bank, with a capital of
$500 900, to be located at the corner of
Greenwich and Duane SITS.
The efforts to raise a furor about
GRIs1 and MARIO have signally failed.
The American people have pretty much
survived their RACES for foreign Artistes,
and money is too tight to pay such ex-
travagant prices for Italian music, as
but few can understand or appreciate.
The Boston and Philadelphia presses
are glowing with praises of these "mar-
velous musical prodigies !" preparing
itching ears, and losening the strings of
plethorio purses. Can it be that they
are entirely disinterested in the matter,
and working only for the public good?
A person who cheated the country
press generally, some two years since, by
advertising extensively and refusing to
settle the bills when presented, is again
at his old trick, under the name of a
high-sounding firm. The principal ware
house purports to be in England. The
only safe way for the press is to have re-
sponsible and reliable Agent or Agents
in each large city, and refer all applica-
tions from the city to them. =
There is a long and elaborate letter
from Hon. HENRY A. WISE, of Virginia,
in the New York Daily Times, of the
18th, copied from the Washington In
ion, in reply to some interrogatories from
Rev. DR.. ADAMS, of Boston, respecting
slavery.
There are more vessels lying idle at
our Wharves, than has been known for
years. The finest clipper ships a fad
nothing profitable to do. The aGalifor-
MIA and Australian trade is dull, and i'm
~portations have exceeded the demand.
