With perhaps the largest cargo Of general merchandise On freight
that she has ever brouzhs to this port Dates from that city are

most startling and interesting item Of news is the great financial
crisis at the East, by which numbers Of banks and hosts Of mer-
e.nsze houses, large and small. have been forced to succumb to

opinion Of old merchants who weafhered the storm in the well
remembered year 1857, the present panic, with its train Of mer-
camille disasters far exceeds that in severity, and the most re-
narkable feature in it Is that this panic occurs in the face Of UNI

intimate business relations which many Of our merchants hold
towards their agents and correspondents In the East, 1t would
