 NEw KORK, Sept. I6, 1854.
 We have been blessed with rain in abun. dance during the past week. Fears which were entertained respecting the shOrtness of the crops and the scarcity of provisions have vanished. The reports from England of an abundant harvest, the recent copious showers, and the increase of business has given the city more cheerful aspect. Bus siness is rapidly improving. Boxes and bales make many of the principal wholesale streets nearly impossible. The London Times estimates that $1O0, ,00C GOO 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 effects. Accounts from the harvest in France and the north of Europe are also 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 auction at large sacrifice and taking the auction eer's notes in payment in preference to running the risks with country merchants. There is still great caution used in giving credit 10 new customers. We were going loo fast Every one was in haste 90 be rlch'' and many overshot the mark. l: is well that the great railroad Frauds caused the brakes 10 be put on and steam let off, and that we could look o,h and see what is ahead, and the track clear, before we started again. There has been Roo many goods imported that could be as well man. uiactured in this country and consequently foo much specie exported to pay fitr them. There has been too.much money locked uP in railroad and real estate that should have been used in business. The error is felt and the prudent will profit by the experi- ence. Railroad securities are gradually recovering from tire shock deak upon them by the discovered frauds of Schuyler, Kyle and Crane. Stocks have been quite fuc> tuating nf late. Erie, the leading stock rose on Friday to 47 ia in consequence of the President s statements, and fell again 10 A. The ssbulls and bears" are tilned, each fearing the other. IL is thought Ibe Erie will not rise higher than il now is. Over $l ,000,O0 in specie goes out in the steamer to>day. A new Bank will go into opera ton shortly. 10 be called the Natinn> al Exchange Bank, with capital of five hundred thousand dollars, and to be loca. ted al the corner of Greenwich and Duane streets.
 The efforts to raise furore about Gsisi and Mario are a failure. The American people have pretty much survived their rages for foreign artiStes, and money is too fight to pay such exiravagant prices for Italian music, as but few can understand or appreciate. The Boston and Pniladel> pha presses are glowing with praises of their " marvellous musical prOdigies" pres pairing itching'ears and oosing the strings of plt'ihoric purses. Can ii he that they are entirely disinteresled in the matter, and working only for the public good?
 There is a long and elahnrate letter from Hon. H. \. Wise in tire New York Daily Times. of the 18th, copied from the Wash~ inglon Union, in reply to some interroga> tions from Rev. Dr. Adams, of Boston, respecting slavery.
 There are more vessels lying idle al our wharves than has beel known for wears. The finest clipper ships can find nothing profitable 10 do. The California and Aus> iralia trade is dull and impor,ations have exceeded the demand. The owners are waiting patiently for something to " turn up" hoping that trade will spring up with Japan, or that Cuba will be annexed CT something else willcal them into action.
