COMMERCIAL CRISIS,

The New York Herald has, for some time
past, published articles expressing in stro No
terms lis app:ehensons of an approaching
financial revulsion. The reasons which our
contemporary assigns for the position assumed
are That our import alions 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, imponaions
averaging million Of dollars day. The
journal then endeavors 10 show that our
means 10 meet these excessive imporlations
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 moi
suffice 10 balance the account, and The 2ri-
ces OF the articles being already TOO high to
remunera,e manufacturers, 1t remained doubt
ful whether it would bear an additional ad.
vance. The Herald admits an abundan, bar.
vest OF breadsuffs, but remarks that neither
England, France nor Germany would wan,
our surplus, the harvest prospects all over
Europe having never been so fatte:ing as
now. And further, that Europe would MOI,
accept our railroad bonds any longer, she
having not taken any Of our stocks and bonds,
nor had we made any financial loan of this
sort in London since the commencement OF
of the Russian war. In addition 10 all this,
the Herald reminds US of the fact that the
shipments of California gold fall short Of
those Of last year each from two hundred
thousand 10 four hundred thousand dollars,
the deficiency up 10 the month of August,
1857, amounting 10 about four million dol
lars, which deficiency. it predicts, would
reach FIVE or six millions before the end of
the year. Our contemporary concludes from
all this, that the first decided symptoms OF a
monetary pressure may be felt as early as
December next that drain Of specie TO
Europe will be experienced in the ensuing
spring, and that pos,pouement OF the bal
ancing OF accounts would only be adding 10
tHe puIueU uuueT WHICH We LUW SAdSSSI,
while the inevitable revulslou must remain,
after all, but question Of time. The Herald
has given us the blackess and sloomsst side
OF the picture, but there is another dsscrip-
ton of papers who present quite cheerful
view Of the mater. They assure Us that
money continues 10 be easy, and that nobody
is alarmed Money continues to be easy !!
If the mere assertion OF the fact could sut
