should mention the undoubted fact that
the speculation mania, as it is called
we prefer calling it by the other title,
the gambling rage-is manifestly pass
ing away, and with it may be looked for
the return to SOBER quiet industry Of
thousands who for some years past have
lived III a consuming fever OF excite
ment. 1t is true the period has been
markedly the moral wreck of hundreds
of competent men of business, who were
seduced into breaches Of trust, and for
geries, and frauds nnder the influence
Of this fearful epidemic; and sad re-
cord Of insolvency, and ruin Of blasted
hopes, and dishonored names, will be
the monument of the part four years
experience in our gold ruoms and stock
exchanges. But the disase is rapidly
subsiding, and wiser, albeit sadder, men
gradually returning to useful occupa-
tons. Let us rejoice and hail the fact
"a sure omen of return to industry
economy and peace.
Another substantial subject Of con-
graduation is to be found in tho fact
that after the severe ordeal to which we
have been put for the past two years,
our commercial interests are i'll SO
sound a state. Failures, on the whole,
have been unusually small and few, and
in most branches of trade have been
almost wholly unknown, and now we
may hope the strain will be relaxed,
and that our merchants and manufac-
tuners are on the eve Of more prosper
GUS times. Another encouraging fca-
ture is The prospect Of good harvest
OF course, we cannot rs yet, speak too
confidently about this, but the prospects
are hopeful, and If we only take care
that the crop is eaten by our people
and converted here into manufact lred
goods we need the coming harvest may
bring prosperity and confidence to oil
classes of our people
The Bankrupt Act went into opera
ton on Saturday Tie 1st instant, and
under It's operation All the State laws
on the subject are superseded This is
by far the most complete and best con-
sidered law on the subject which has
ever been enacted IN this country. We
