The leadinz feature in the ste k mariet to-day was the rise in Erie at the first board, im consequence ef a rumor that the acceptances ef tue company had been negotiated with leading banker, eleven ef the directors having made themse!ves personaly responsible for their payment.

It imparted such confidence to the bulls that Erie opened this morning st 40, eperdily receding, however, 10 48 and 47%.

New York Academy of Musi: $275 It bas been often predicted that there would be & most serious reaction, perhaps, more truly to be comre hended in tho strenger term revulsion, as indicative of the perfect paralysis which is spreading over the opera- tions of the speculators in real estate, The mad carear which bas been exhibited in the construction of almost princely edifices, for private and public ao>>mmodation, bas been suddenly checked, and with su-b force, using the language of theturf, as to throw the riders from their saddies. It is impossible either to sell or to mort gage real estate, on any terms proportionate to the snec- ulative value which has beem put on it, and, 2+ 4 neces- rary consequence, where there has been any delin queney in the payment of interest or principa! the law has been resorted to to enforce compliance throngh the stringent powers incident to foreclosure. In this state of embarrassment it is easy to forsee that there must be a great change of ownership, the mortgagee becoming the landlord, absorbing the equity of redemptios, to- gether with the fee. Through every principal street we observe untenanted houses and stores, bills innumerable to le! and for sale, houres and furnished leégings to be disposed of; while im some parts of the eity, even, there are to be seen unfinished blocks and rows of buili- ings, indicatipg the entire absence of the necessary funds to continue their construction. These are uner- ring censequences of an overstrained speculative pro- gress, and, with these signs of @ convulsive reaction, how can we anticipate any improvement antil the sponge of Uquidation has cleared off the indebtedness with the disease? It bas been a perfect mystery, such a8 ‘could not “be comprehended by the ordinary rules of fair computa- tion, how our commercial and trading community could anticipate to survive the extravagant expenditure in which, through vanity and competitor ambition, their mode of transacting business has been carried on, There has not existed a solitary moment of time for solid reflection; the greatest display, the most expen- sive atyle of living, stores resembling palaces and dwelling places in the country and city, of the most cost- ly character, have been ‘the chief subjects of rivalry. The high and the low, the rich and the operative, have assumed a commen platform, all and each watching their neighbors, with the resolve that there should be exhibi- ted no outward evidences of superior wealth and in- dependence. There has been no private taste—the dis tinctive mark of refinement and delicscy—everything has been display, and unmeasured briliancy, and perverse finery. In the rural districts, as in the metropblitan cities, the thiret for foreign tinsel, rich brocade silks, and embroidered laces, has proved co generally prevalent that the wealth which & little system of economy would have produced has taken wings and flown away, leaving, In very many casen, what iz much to be deplored, their families and their creditors involved in the common chaos of insolvency. The trouble which has resulted from this general vulgar extravagance will soon be exhibited in the recip: rocal sufferings between the consumers and the traders; the leaves of shop books will be turned, and again turned over for relief, but in vain expectation, ending in the for- feiture of promise after promise, until the country mer- chants are compelled to acknowledge their inability to comply with their engagements to their once more opulent city creditors. In this we have a slight picture of eur future prospects, which our banks are now attempting injudiclously to ward off, and in the face of large exportations of specie, increasing their discounts and their circulation to s most unreasonable and insecure degree, not only for thelr own solvency, but the fature sccommodation of thecommunity: with thelr expansion they will be weakened, making themselves the poorest, debtors and dependents on public confidence’. Ju the foreign embarrasaments we are daily bocoming mor* and more seriously involved; and in our small beer belligerent demonstrations, we are creating prejudices and pent-up discontents which will not fail to produce their conse- quences. The policy of our government ia most evi- dently one of aggression—not bold and characteri: 's of the patriot spirit of the fathers of the Revolution, 6: one based on grovelling calculation that we my tres pass and violate the rights of other nations with impu nity, on the presumption that our commercial relations will secure and screen us from the juat respons{bility of ur abunes and want of fidelity to our position a8 a dis- Unguished member of the great family of civiliz-1 nations, MICHIGAN SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN INDIANA RAILIOAN « PANIES.
