The great strategieal difficulty of the Emperor Nicholas in the present war is, that he is exposed to attack on six or seven points, wholly distinct from each other, but each yeoufring an army for its defence. To hold possession of the Principalities he requires at least 100,000 men ; the Grimes demands an army of Boe Georgia and the Cir- cassian coast at least as many; the kingdom of Poland an imposing body of troops capable of maintaining the in- Babitants in sulles subjection, and of watching the move- tments both of Austrin and Prussia ; the Baltic provine Finland, and even the neighborhood of Finland, are al Hable to be assailed, especially by an enemy having fleets pelled by steam in absolute possession of the sea, and Feds in saficiens numbers to'throw a formidable body of men on any part of the coast. ‘At this moment, when the events of the war are about to assume a more positive character, it would bo ‘of the utmost value to the common cause of Europe if the conventions recently concluded between the Western Powers en the one band, and the German Powers on the Sther, could be brought to include all the general inter- ests repreeented by conference of Vienna.

The Court of Vienna has pot concealed from itself that, in the event of a positive rupture with that of St. Petersburg, it is not improbable that the Emperor Nicholas may give way to his resent- ‘ment against Austria, and even withdraw his troops from ‘to punish a reverse which he attributes to the his ally; for the events of the past year and of the present moment have demonstrated that no serious blow can be aimed at the Turkish saps as long ‘a8 Austria stands aloof and refuses to participate in the of her Leg ior is, we believe, true, that even convention Austria and Prussia provides that the incorporation of the Danubian Principalities, or any attempt on the part of Russia to force the Balkans, be regardet as a casus belt by both the German ites, and their declaration to the t is to the same efiect Of all the mistakes committed by the Emperor of Russia on this question—and they have not been few— mone is more glaring than the assumption that the poli- of Austria was entirely subordinate to his own good re, and that the avarer Francis Joseph was re- ced to the condition of a Russian vassal by the ser- from his northern ally in the perils ‘of the revolution of 1849.

A great scarcity of congols is still felt, and this, together with the con- tinued buoyancy of the Paris Bourse, and the indications afforded by the continental advices of the growth of the combination against Russia, constituted the principal cause of the prevailing confidence. On the other hand, a steady demand for money out of doors, and the up: ward tendency of the grain market, coupled with the belief that large importations of wheat will yct be ne- ceseary before the harvest, operated in some degree as a check to the favorable feeling.

Scarcity or Porators—From all parts of the State we continue to hear complainta of the scarci- ty of potatoes. In consequence of the unusually high price which they now command in the mar- kets, and as the advance in breadstuffs has given rise to the feprvecion that wheat-growing will be more profitable than potatoe raising, many farmers have been induced to send off what they had on hand without reserving even a sufficient quaatity for seed. It is now quite certain that not near the wantity of potatoes can be planted this sea- son.—Littleton, N. H., Reporter. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, MONEY MARKET. Tuorspay, June 1—6 P. M. At the first board to-day, there was a pretty active de- mand for stocks, at prices current at the close yester. day. Parker Vein led the van to day, in exteat of trans- actions and improvement in prices. About eight thous- and shares were sold, principally for cash. Camberland slightly advanced, and closed firm at our quotations Nicaragua Transit was steady, but there was not/ much doing. Erie, Reading, Hudson Railroad, New York Cen tral Railroad, and all other fancies were in moderate re quest, without any change in prices. At the second board, ‘Le market was a little more buoyant, but with not much doing, The steamship Asia, from Liverpool, with seven days later intelligence, frem all parts of Europe, was an- nourced at an early hour, but her news was not received until after business hours. In the meantime, operations of all kinda were partially suspended. No one seemed to have f any opinion relative to the Asia’s advices, and there was a general disposition to wait its receipt. The news is not important or even interesting. Hoatilities progress slowly, but the public mind has be- come more settled, snd the various rumors afloat, re- garding the movements of Austria and Prussia, have comparatively little effect. Consols had advanced to 899% percent, but fell off a fraction towards the close. Breadstuffa had advanced and were in active demand. Cotton was dull of sale, and prices were with difficulty sustained. A decline of an eighth was reported. There was less demand for United States government stocks, ‘The return from the Bank of England for the week end. ing the 18th of May, gives the following reeults when compared with the previous week:— £409,615 101,621 Rest... “ Increase.

According to the last annual report, the expenses, independent of the outlay for construction, exceeded the earnings $182,810.

To construction account direct there is charg: ed, for 1853, $99,865; to do., indirectly, for repairs for machinery, &:., $199,628. In 1864, the construction account for extraordinary damages already occurred, will have to bear n burthen estimated at $300,000, which includes the entire recon- struction of the large bridge over the mouth of the Cro- ton river. This road is built nearly one third of the whole distance on piles. The Portland, Saco and Portsmouth Railroad Company have declared a dividend of three per cent ; the Vermont and Canada Railroad Company four per cent. It is estimated that the demand for coal upon the At- lantic seaboard, in the year 1854, will exceed the supply at least 500,000 tons ; and that one million tons of coal could be disposed of,over and above the amount—say aix million tons—that will be sent to market. The demand for coal in the same ratio, in 1860, will require a supply of fifteen million tons. This isa fine prospect for all our coal companies. All they want is facilities for bringing their coal to market, and almost any demand can be isfied. Anew counterfeit $10 bill on the Northern Bank of Kentucky has made its appearance in Cincinnati. It is well calculated to deceive inexperienced persons, though by comparison with a genuine bili the counterfeit can easily be detected. The spurious bill is a very little longer and narrower than the genuine, and is printed cn Inferior paper. Telegraph despatches have been received from Now Orleans stating that several heavy failures have occurred in that city among cotton operators. Some of the houses named have connection in this and other northern cities, All the eastern manufacturing companies have, for several years past, been doing a profitable business; all the corporations pay good dividends, and are in ful operation, The Lawrence Company, of Lowell, are build- ing what will be equivalent to two large mills, and the Merrimac Company are replacing the old iafll torn down list fall with « much larger building, besides making im- provements in their driving machinery. In other parts of New England new mills are going up rapidly, and we hear no more complaints about the want of protection. Manufacturers are now making more money under th revenue tariff of 1846 than they ever made under any previous system, and we attribute the change entirely to & more economcial and judicious mode of manigemont. The Supreme Court of Missouri has refased to prohibit the Judges of the County Court from making the sub- scription of $1,200,000 to {he capital stock of the Paci’ 9 | Railroad. The court deciled that the act under which the subscription is proposed to be made is constitutional; that the d0tn section of the act doos not have the effect to exempt from the special tax property within the limits of the city of St. Louis, by virtue of the city subserip- tion, to pay which no special tax was levied; that the Blat section, exempting stockholders to the extent of the amount of stock subscribed by them, does not render | the act unconstitutional—being, in fact, no exemption— | they paying as much as others, though ina different way; that the act ix not invalidated by the fact that the money is not all to be expended withio St. Louis county; that the benefits or advantages to be derived from an im provement are to be considered, rather than the locality of the improvement itself; and that the question whe- 4,718,280 Increase... $12,850 | ther St. Louis county is to derive sufficiont benefit from the completion of the railroad to authorize the subscrip tion, was one for the determination of the county court, to whom the General Assembly might constitutionally entrust its determination. This was the substance of the decision, as it was understood. No formal opinion was delivered, but one will doubtless be fied at a future day.

One comdi~ tion of the proposal is, that creditors representing am amouni of $350,000 shail accept the terms on or July first next, and we understand that a large number have already given assent, so that little or no doubtis entertained of carrying the plan of settlement ugh. Giving, as the proposal does, widitional security to creditors, of more than $100,000 in amount, it is obvious~- ly for the interest of all to accept the proposed terms, and it will be singular if the plan does not give entire satisfaction. The mere fact of completing a settlement of this character, will give an additional value to the seeu- rities held in pledge, by removing collateral bonds from. the market, and the chances of eventual payment of the full amount of indebtedness and interest rendered almost certain, Stock Exchange.
