The Commercial Bulletin. in lis annual STATE

The Commercial Bulletin. i'll lis annual state
myn., puts down the co.ton crop OF 1854 at
2,947, 500 bales, against 3,26o. .83e bales last
wear. The receipts in New Orleans for the
12 months endingon the lstinst., (exclusive OF
that by sca,} amounted to l,440,779 bales,
against l,6Gl, 86i last year. The sugar crop
in Louisianaiamounted TO 449, 324 hhds. weigh
ing E95, 100000 1bs, being an increase over
last year Of b9, 800 hhds The number Of su-
CIR houses in the State is 1887; 956 Of which
are worked by steam, and 481 with horse pow
er. Tbesugar crop Of Texas amounted to only
3288 hbds., of 1000 TBS, being near 5000 hhds.
less than the year previous. There was q large
increase in the receipts Of -four, wheat, corn,
oats, beans, lard, butter, cheese, candles and
hemp; while there was large decrease in the
receipts of tobacco, pork, bacon, beet, whiskey,
bagging, rope and lead. The total value ofthe
produce received from the interiors; estimated
at S115836, 1913; against 5134,235, 1876 last
year. The reviewer, speaking of the Liver
pool market during the season, says that, when
we reflect upon the magnitude Of the prejudi-
cial causes, with the additional fact, thatin the
early part of the year they made their cacu]a-
lions on the other side, on a crop not to exceed
2 200, 900 bales, and that they subsequently
were compelled to materially raise their estI-
mates, the course Of the market will appear
much less unfavorable than might have been
apprehended, and should inspire
more confidence in the future to whatever pc
rod the restoration Of peace may be deferred.
It will also be observed that Notwithstanding
The adverse influences referred to, the decrease
il the quantity ken for consumption is ,incon-
Siderable So that with fair harvests. even with |
protracted continuation Of the war, the pros
1ect is by no means gloomy, while a settle
neDt of the eastern question and general peace
Ii Europe, could not fail to give powerful i'm
,uIse to trade, largely increase the demand for
consumption and materially promote the pros
critv the cotton trade

! The accounts from the north and west indi-
cate that the grain crop is unusually small
This is bad news for the south, as it will tend
! to:decrease the price of our staple. The Gin
cjanati Price Current, in its review of the west
erS markets, says that there will be a short
crap of corn is matter we suppose settled be-
you'd dispute; and there are grounds for ap-
prehenslons that the yield will be very short;
but 1t is always dangerous to speculate upon
SHIRT crops; and to commence now to operate
with the expectation that corn and hogs WILDE
sh:Tt, would be only opening the road to those
disastrous results which have been SO generally
experienced within the last two wears. The
Chicago Journal states that the corn crop in the
lower part of Illinois has been entirely cut off by
drought. The prospects are somewhat better
in she northern portion of the State. In Indi-
ana the drought is very severe, and within a
hundred miles of Pittsburg the crops of pota-
Eoe} and corn are nearly ruined, if not Quite
Fro:n letters received in New Orleans it an
pea;s that IN many portions of Kentucky the
cor-s crop has turned cut SO disastrous that there
will: not be enough raised TO fatten the hogs
Adfces from western New York, the great
wheat and corn growing region, also give de-
plofable accounts of the prospects of those
crops. Judging from these facts, it is evident
thaGpors will be dear, and -four and corn must
adv$nce in price.

INFLUENCE OF THE UNITED STATEs-The
London Daily News, one of the ablest and mos
influential organs of the liberty party in the
united kingdom, opens long article on affairs
in the United States with the following para
graph:
1t is the custom Of the most of conservatives
of Great Britain, (and of some others than
conservatives to sneer and joke about the no.
ton the Americans have of their own inDor-
tance in the world. There is no use in Drovino
to such satirsts that, in the deepest and lar
gest sense, the Americans cannot exaogerate
the Importance of their country and nation
among the powers OF the nineteenth century.
The thing has been proved a multitude of times,
and all to no purpose, in regard to that order
OF minds, and to the higher order of minds,
then, those which despiSe the United States no
proof is needed. To say that there is a federal
democratic republic at work in the world, is to
proclaim, in other words, the lofty style and
title of The United States. But, for those who
cannot see and feel this, there is other evidence
new and curious, which is at once adapted to
their capacity, and worthy Of the deepest con-
slderatlon from more sagacious order of men.

Il would appear that n. Orleans has deter

Boot 1t has come to light that extensive swim
ding operations have been carried on in New
Orleans, during the past twelve months, in the
Insurance line, by a set of scoundrels who sue
oeeded in amassing some thirty Or forty thou
sand dollars, by specializing on the credulity Of
the ignorant and unsuspectng, especially on the
hard working Germans. A pseudo insurance
agency was established, purpolting 10 be a le
gitimate branch of the Merchants Insurance
Company, New York. but on the back Of the
policies issued by it, was endorsed ''Mcrchants'
Insurance Office, New Orleans" A solicitor,
who spoke German fuently, was sent out
through the city by this company, with instruc-
L%on to app ly to none for insurance but Ger
raans. The scheme succeeded adu1irablv-I
property was insured at the lowest rates-anl
risks taken on every thing. The company is
sued between two and three thousand policies,
when its operations were brought to close BY
lie burning down Of a grocery and beer house,
which had been insured by it for s 500. The
2~ner Of the grocery applied to the Merchants
Insurance Company, New Orleans, for settle
saent, thinking it was the office in which he was
Insured, when the imposition was at once dis
bvercd, and the unfortunate German found
lat he had been duped. The swindling con-
&rn, in anticipation of being brought to JUS
te, had vanished to parts unknown, leaving
heir solicitor and other outside strikers in al
ears Of salary $50 they state, to follow al their
asure. Since the burst up Of the concern

The LATE ELEcr1oNs.-Inf1ated with the
momentary success, gained in the last presi-
dental contest, the democracy commenced over
what they vainly imagined to be the lifeless
remains OF the whig party howl of exulta-
ton, that would have done honor to anv tribe
OF savages, that ever roamed the forest. So
confident were the assertions of the victors.
that 1t was beyond the power even of omnipo
tence to lntuse new life into body, that MANY,
we are sorry to say, of the whig party-men
who had battled nobly for what they believed
to be the right, were led for the moment to be-
lleVe, there was more truth than fiction in these
assertions. But circumstances have since nro-
ven that the profound silence that every where
relgned among the defeated wings and which
was mistaken as proof of their death, was but
the silent and lstess calm that precedekasbe
tempest. 1t required no deep insi ght into the
of human nature to predict with
unerrlng certainty the events, whose we'll de-
fined shadows may now be seen spanning the
whole political horizon. In the Organization
of the party that elevated Mr.. Pierce to the
there could not be found two COM
patlble elements. The laws of repu)sop in 70
terence to this heterogeneous mass, were for
period suspended, but not annihlated. Now
that there are no more spoils to be portioned
out, that anomalous combination is fast beino
reduced to its original elements; indeed il IS
already so reduced, if democratic authority can
be considered reliable. How stands it with
me wing party at this moment? Let the cleo
