The telegraph advises that the Legislature n,

The New York correspondent of the Baltimore
Ssm gives us the following in regard to the effects
of the war upon the commerce of that city:
New York is suffering as much from the tariff
and from the disturbance of he foreign and domes
tic trade as any port Of the South can suffer from
blockade. The heavy and numerous commercial
failures that have occurred during the last fortnight
are so appalling that the press deems it prudent to
withhold them from the public, and despondency
begins to succeed to the characteristic energy of the
New York merchant.
The banks will lend their gold to the Government
because it is the only mode whereby they can pay
any dividends to their stockholders. Offers of
money to the Government for its support during the
present crisis amount already to nearly as much
specie the Northern banks possess If this is the
state of things the commercial emporium at the
beginning of the civil war what viii it be a year
hencef
Now there is demand for cur breadstuffs, and
returns in gold are received But the prospects of
abundant harvest in Europe are such that this
branch of export trade cannot be relied upon for
another year. If, when the approaching session of
Congress shall terminate, there should be single
specie paying bank IN the country, it will be matter
Of surprise.

None of the managers Of the Mt. Vernon Society
