COMMERCIAL CRISIS.

The New York Herald has, for some time
past, published articles expressing in stro ng
terms lis app:ehensions of an approaching
financial revulsion. The reasons which our
colemporary assigns for the position assumed
are THAT our imporalions of the present
year have been heavy beyond any precedent,
while our exports have been less than those
of last year; that with double the quantity Of
warehoused goods, the port of New York has
received, since The 1st of July, impotaiions
averaging million OF dollars day. The
journal then endeavors TO show that our
means to meet these excessive impor,atiohs
will prove inadequate. The growing cotton
crops being month behind time, the first
shipments might be delayed till December,
and If as large as last year, they would not
suffice. to balance the account and the 2ri-
ces OF the articles being already TOO high to
rsmunsrate manufacturers, 1t remained doubt
ful whether il would bear an additional ad.
vance. The Herald admits an abundant har.
vest of breadstuffs, but remarks that neither
England, France nor Germany would wan,
our surplus, The harvest prospects all over
Europe having never been so faleing as
now. And furtheE that Europe would no,
accept our railroad bonds any longer, she
having no. taken any of our stocks and bonds,
nor had we made any financial loan of this
sort in London since the commencement oil
of the Russian war. In addition to all this,
the Herald reminds us of the fast that the
shipments of California gold fall short ei
those of last year each from two hundred
thousand TO four hundred thousand dollars,
the deficiency up TO the month of August,
1857, amounting to about four million dol
lars, which deficiency, il predicts, would
reach five or six millions before the end oil
the year. Our contemporary concludes from
all this, that the first decided symptoms of q
monetary pressure may be felt as early as
December next that drain Of specie to
Europe will be experienced 10 the ensuing
spring, and that postponement of the bal.
ancing of accounts would only be adding to
The BURDEN under which we now ssagger,
while the inevitable fevulsIon must remain,
after all, but question of time. The Herald
has given US the bIackest and gloomiest side
Of the picture, but there is another descrip'
lion of papers who present quite . cheerful
view of the matter. They assure Us sha
money continues 10 be easy, and tha, nobody
Is alarmed. Money continues to be easy
If the mere assertion of the fact could hu
make ii so, these papers would be most in
valuable institutions. But unfortunately, the
rates Of interest are on an average more thar
double what they were come three years ago
while the demand for capital Is equally nr
gent, II moi more so. Admitting the fact o
excessive importstions, they console them
selves with the thought that most Of the los
ses will fall on Foreigners, and while they az
sure US that they are The last persons 10 favo

iaa6u rasAD AND THE FoPs.

Hotels have now become SO numerous in
cities, and fare so reasonable, that they are
the resort, at times, of nearly all classes OF
society. The man who can afford 10 travel
from home, can afford 10 stop at hotel and
as landlords are smart enough 10 regard The
wants of the million as well as those OF the
millonaires, we find the rich and the poor,
the high and the humble, side by side, al
hotel tables. Home-spun there sports sill
yer fork with as much gusto as Mr. Broad
cloth, aud The humble Sally is as much en-.
titled to and enjoys as fully, the good things
of life at the richly loaded table to the hotel,
as The accomplished Miss josephine Martha
Washington Victoria Maria. Consequently
the hotel is good place 10 study human ma

from all the walks Of life, and of. all classes
of character. Oflen 'ex.treams meet, and,
when such is the case, amusing incidents are
sure TO occur.
Sitting one evening in The office OF tine q.
House, in Cincinnati, my attention was at
tTacled toward two genuine and unadulte.a-
ted fops who occupied seats near me. A
description of them would be uninteresting,
for their is no community in this broad land
o. ours without its fops, and fop IS a fop,
and nothing else, the world over. They ad.

POETRY IN OLD FOLKS.

| often think each tottering frame
That limps along in life's decline,
Once bore heart as young, as warm,
As full of idle thoughts as mine!
And each has had its dreams ofJoy,
It's own nuequaled, pure romance;
Commencing when the blushing boy
First thrilled at lovely woman's glance.
And each could tell bis tale of youth,
Would think its scenes of love evince,
More passion, more unearthly truth,
Than any tale before or since.
Yes! they could tell oil tender lays
Al midnight .penned in CLASSIC shades,
or days more bright than modern days
And maids more fair than modern maids.
OF whispers in willing ear,
OF kisses on bIushing cheek;
Each kiss each whisper far loo deaf,
Our modern lips 10 give or speak.
OF passions TOO nntimely crossed
OF passions sighted or betrayed
OF kindred spirits early lost,
OF buds that biossom'd but 10 fade.
or beaming eyes and tresses gay,
Elastic fofm and noble brow,
And iorms that all have passed away,
And left them what we see them now.
And is il thus--~is human love
So very light and frail thing?
And must youths brightest visions move
Forever on Times restless wing?
Must oil the eyes that still are bright,
And all the lips that talk oil bliss,
And all the forms SO fair TO sight,
Hereafter only come TO this! .
Then what are all earlh's treasures wotih,
II we at length must lose them thus
II all we value here on earth
Ere long must fade away from US.

RIOT AMONG FREIGHT Conductors.
baltimore, May 1.-The strike among
the freight conductors on the Baltimore

character yesterday. Several freight
trains were stopped on the road last eve
ing by mob of 100 conductors, who as
sembled at some distance from the city
and meeting the cars while in motion, I'm.
coupled the trains, carried of all the
couplings, and drove the engineers and
firemen into the woods.
There is great excitement all along
the road, the strike being very genera
throughout the line. Efforts are being
made to induce the engineers to join tht
conspirators. The company finally re

APPREHENDED MURRAIN IN Eng
LANDAU order in Council was pub
lished on the I'd of April, prohibiting the
importation into Great Britain Of cattle,
or Of horns, hoofs, hides or skins, from
those territories of Russia, Prussia or
Mecklenburg, Schwerin, which lie on
the Gulf of Finland, or between the
Gulf and the city of Lubbock.
This is in consequence OF disease
which has prevailed among the cattle IN
that region, said to be contagious and
which has caused great mortality.
The N. Y. Evening Post says:
The disease called murrain has become
so infrequent in these latter times, com
pared with former ages, that but for the
preservation of the term in Scripture
history, we suspect it would have drop
ped out of use. 1t appears to have been
in the herd what the plague of small pox
is in the human family. Whether the
disease prevailing among the cattle OF
the Baltic provinces be the same which
was in former times called murrain, is
point for the cattle dealers to settle. A
question of much greater Importance is
how far proper treatment, wholesome
food, clearly stables and sufficient ventil'
alton may be depended on to prevent the
attack of the malady or to check its pro-
gress. There is as yet no certainty that
! it is not, like he cholera, kind Of trav-
cling epidemic, which, after having ex
j., hausted its violence in the place where i
q had its birth, will invade and gradually
o overrun other countries.

J. The "hog cholera" which swept o

is parently contagious disease, does Mt

tation of flesh bristles or skins, howeve

VOICE FROM V1RGINIA.-In refer
ence to the late election in St. Louis, in
in which the emancipation party triumph
ed, the Wheeling (Va.) Intelligencer,
says -
These elections do demonstrate this
fact beyond a cavil-that the sentiment
of the great majority of the people OF
this Union is irrevocably opposed to the
extension of slavery; that they are de-
termined, if overwhelming public senti-
ment can avail anything, another slave
state shall not be admitted into the con-
federacy. And why are they so deter
mined? Because they believe, and not
only believe, but see and know, that
slavery is an unmitigated curse to the
soil that sustains it. They know this
because they see every Free State out
stripping every slave state in all the ele'
ments that make a people powerful an(
prosperous; because they see the people
in the one educated and thrifty, and il
the other ignorant and thriftless; because
they have before their eyes a state lik,
our own, once the very Union itself al
most, in Importance, to day taking he
rank as a fifth rate power"

The DRIED SCoTT DECIsION-RE-
PORT IN THE PENNSYLVANIA LEGIs-
notwithstanding, May 1.-The
majority of the Select Committee of the
Senate on the Resolution in the bred
Scott case have made a lengthy and
able report, accompanied with resolutions,
declaring that the opinion of the Su-
preme Court announces principles in
palpable opposition to the Judicial and
Legislative history Of the Union, and in
violation of the plain provisions of the
Constitution of the United States. That
the opinion, except on the question Of
jurisdiction being delivered on case
over which the Court admitted it had nc
Jurisdiction, it may be justly regarded as
ObitG djcta euram non judtcio, and in
operative as law. That the five judges
who concurred in the same opinion mad,
a wanton attack on the sovereignty of tn,
Free States, and an impotent attempt t.
nullify the established laws of the coun
try, and by extra judicial action cause,
an unnecessary excitement in the publ
mind in regard to the subject of SLAYER,
and thereby forfeited the confidence an
respect due to their exalted station.
