After one of the se- ‘werest droughts experienced for years, all over the Worth and West, the dry spell was broken in this ‘geetion of the country last evening. We had a mmart shower between 8 and 9 o’clock-—amir: enough to make at least two millicns of people hap- Wy, and cause a saving in the corn, potatoand grass grops in this visinity of probably a million of doi Jare—and 8 gentle and refreshing rain continued to tf) throcghout the night. It ia to be hoped that it Mell over awide extent of country. It is believed by many pereons that the effects of ‘the drought upon ‘he Indian cora crop is greatly @verrated, tak ng the whole country into view. Merchants from tia cotton districts of Alabama, and other sections of the South, represent the corn Grop as larger and more promising than for many years previous. The bigh prices paid for the ar- ‘écle Jag’ season induced the planters to raise their wn corp this year, finding it would be cheaper te grow it than to purchase it from the grain grow. img States of the West at 80c. per bushel. Hence, admitting that some sections of the West will failia their corn crops, still the hitherto large market for % in the planting States will be wanting the com- deg year. The Indian corn crop in maay sections of New Englaad is spoken of very favorably. At fhe West the drought has probably only prevailed 2m certain localities or belta of country, while others have suffered little if any. On river bottoms and Mavi+t soils the yield will likely be about an avarage ame; and on high lands it is a plant which stands a @ovght remarkably weil. These facts, taken in eennection with the circumstance that large sup- piies of the old crop are still held at the West, make tas feel pretty well convinoed that the effects of the @rought have been considerably exaggerated. DISASTROVS PIRES. At Troy yesterday about noon a fire broke cut, @pi before its ravages could be checked, between woand three hundred buildings were destroyed, fmcluding also a Jarge quantity of lamber. The Joes is estimated at rising a million dollars. A brief account of (this calapity ia given under tho tele- graphic head. The town of Waldoboro’, Me., was yesterday mearly annihilated by fire. Byvery store, the pabiic Buildings, vessels on the stocks, and a quantity of waluable ship-timber, were destroyed. Tue loss is estimated at a quarter of a million dollars. FROM BAVANA AND KEY WHS. By an arrival at Charleston we have advic Havana and Key West to the 22d inst. Thore was mothing trapspiring at the former place of special interest, except perhaps the circumstance that Governor-General Pezucla bad paid a hoavy re- ‘ward to the person who apprehended a number of Rewly-leuded slaves in the district of Marie. This act, it was thought, would stimulate the activily of the detectives. The ship Edwin Fyle hae put im at Key West with the yellow fever on board. Sho ‘was bound from Now Orleans to Liverpool. The particulars are to bo found under the teleyraphic head. FROM THR BRITISH PROVINCES. Information has been received at the State De- partment to the effect that, pending the action of ‘the British and Colonial Legislatures on the resi- procity treaty, the river St. Lawrence will he free fo American vessels to navigate. The government house at Halifax, N. 8., was recently partially des- troyed by fire. The cholera was rapidly sbating at St. John N. B., at last secounts, and business Was reviving. ADDITIONAL VROM CALTPORNIA. The steamship North Star arrived yesterday from Aspinwall. She brought over four hundred passen- gers, being those taken down on the Pacific side in the Yankee Blade. We give on enother page gome additional news from the Pacific that will be Sound interesting. MISOBLLANFOUS. At Savannah the yellow fover prevails a3 xn epl- @emic, and the organization of a society to relievo ‘the indigent sick is called for. At Charleston there were but four deaths from fever during last week. With few exceptions, the disease is confined to the gaarantine héspite! and the shipping. A broker of Philadélphia disappesrea froma thet elty rather mysteriously 2 short timd since; and as 4% was reported that he carried away with him paper to the amount of forty thoveand dollars which be- Jonged to other partios, be was pursued, captured, and lodged in jail at Monmouth, N.

STATBO THE MANKDTS. ‘The scarcity of the present stock of flour in this market caused another advance yesterday in fommon State brands of 2ic. to 50c. per barrel. Light sales were made at #250 a $975. Common brands of Southern sold at $9 25 a $9 favorite Brands at $9 50 a #9 75; and extra do. #10 a $10 60; extra Genesce sold at #10 50a #1150.

The extent and duration of comm-rcial dis. asters are in exact pr portion to the chatactor of their causes. A crisis provoked by « sud- den outburst of war, or other fortuitaus disas- ter is one to be speedily follewed by & reaction. A crisis induced by a long course of commer- cial error, such a3 an unsound currency, is likely to last for some time and to chake trade to ite basis, The causes of our past sutiering and present jeopardy are obvious, We class them under five heads:—1. The California gold which induced over-speculatien, over-im- portation, and raised the price of real estate and other commodities in a disproportionate degree: 2. The mania for building railroads, which has led to the absorption in inese entor- prises of capital requiried for other and more essential branches of industry, and has ft tered a system of fraudulent finaac among railroad managers: 3. The in Hurope, whieh hes operated, ir by closing the European markets to our secu- rities, and awakening a wide spread want of confidence in the future: 4. The general ex- travagance of living among our mercantile classes: and 5, various local causes, such as the prospect of a short crop in some of the staples, the cholera, the discovery of colossal All of these ain degree to produce the present state of things. ‘The crisis of 1887 was primarily induced by agencies included in the above, namely, ove - frauds by leading financiers, &e. causes have we believe operated in a cert speculation, and extravagance; but it feature which is wanting now. The disaste: 1837 was fearfully aggravated by tho remov] of the deposits from the United States Bank, and the utterly insecure condition of the cur- rency : the majority of our banks at present are comparatively safe, and those which are not safe have already fallen under the ban of dis- credit. Even if a worse period than the pre- sent should compel the free bapks to suspend, their assets could not fall far below their is- snes: aud it is to be hoped that the eastern banks will make provisioa to guard against a run upon their funds. The wild cat banks are advertised at every corner, and it is the fault of the public if they have the power to do much mischief. With this exception—the importauce of which in a calculation of this natuve will at once be perceived—our position bears a striking re- semblance. to that of the United States ia the’ years 1836 and 1837. The advantage is in fact on the side of the latter in one respret. The over-specniation of 1837 was in importing, pur- chasing and manufacturing more goods than we could sell or consume. That of 1853 and the year previous has been developed in the con- struction of more railroads than we can pay for. Four hundred millions of money, it is c@iculated, are locked up in our railroads. The country is not rich enough to lose ihis amount of capi- tal; end though ultimately, of course, the de- velopement of the land through which these Iines pass and the improvement of ont internal communications will produce a benefit cheaply purchased at this cost, yet for the present these works have required an outlay greater than the nation could afford. From the moment our railway bonds ceased to be negotiable in Ene- land, it was clear that a convulsion of some sort was inevitable; it argues an over sanguine spirit to suppose that it has passed away so long as the leading railway companies are in the mar- ket seeking fresh loans. q ‘Rie evil effects of over-inmportation and ex- travagance in living will correct themselves hy degrees, at a loss to individuals proportionate to their former exop2s. It was clear whon rail- way securities began to decline that -ome of the roads in-process of constructio’ would have to be abandoned, and that the country domand for merchandise would conzequenily b duced.

As it ls, there is hardly « merchant or professional man in Now York, Boeton, Philadelphia or Baltimere, who hos not written off some hundreds or thousands of dol lars to loss on Erie or other stocks. Finally, nine-tenths of the mercantile community lave been living above their means, Pains have been taken by men who one year make, but the next lose fortunes, to rival the nobility of forsign countries in the splendor of their residences, the magnificence of their equipage, and the completeness of their domostic arrangements: hence, when the evil day came, and they were forced to pay up differences on stocks and losses on forced sales at suction, few survive uninjured. How many will prove a complete wreck remains to be seen. The war in Burope has only affected us di- rectly by closing the foreign stock market to our securities. In other respects it has bene- fitted and must benefit us. It has driven away our most formidable competitor in the grain market, and raised the price of one of our lead- ing staples. And strange to say, it has not seriously injured our cotton trade. We shall hereafter reap a larger advantage than we have yet done from our neutral position, which plainly calls us to become the carriers of the world. In the meantime however the war has engendereda feel- periods of comfort “4nd sranqnility. Now the drought is talked, of with dread and apprehea- sion, We incite to the belief that its dangers are much Gxaggerated 5 bus still it will take some time to convert the nervous public to our way of thinking. All these local sources of trouble ae slowly working out tocir remedy. The cholera is gne. We have made up our minds to Jose whut dishonest railway manayers stole ; and are already reviving from the shock. We are curtailing our expenses and our dealings, and preparing for the sturm.

Dona Maria Christipa de Bourton is debtor to the State twenty four millions, which she received unla wfally a8 Reina Gobernadora, from 1834 to 1840, having m ried a second time sbortly afier the death of hor 4 husband—twrlve millions which were paid to her on her return from Fravee for the three years which she passed out of the country; and lAirty five millions, the deference belween the money of Spain and America, for the ten years that she has drawn her ion on the treasury A making @ total of sewnty-one millions of reals. With tho sweat of tho people the Rionzures family raises their pa- lace of the Calle de Ins Rejas; tounded estates at Ts-an- con; acquired the coal mines of Langreo; mace its owaa great part of tho Gijon Kailroad; took many shares in the canalizetion of the Ebro; took’ a great number in the company cf La Espana Industrial (a joint stock manu- facturing company); entered with Senor ~alamanca iv the participation of various lines of railroad: and eatab- lished at Ravana engines and other speculations. This chort but comprehensive extract em- braces a world of information concerning the notorious, persecuted, and prosecuted Queen Mother of Spain. It presents her ja a new cha- racter, which cannot fail at once of exciting the wonder, the admiration, and the envy of all Wall street. Down to the arrival of the Asia, which brought us this curious exposition from tthe Madrid Tribune, we had been accustomed to consider Dona Maria Christina de Bourboa as not a whit better than she should be in her rived, per capita, from the African slave trade with the island of Cuba, in spite of laws, trea- her character as a member of ihe royal family, as an independent female, and os a woman of business, we hed supposed was quite sufficient to employ all the time, energy, talents and in. dustry, even of Dona Maria Chriatina de Bour. bon, of the degenerate Court of Spain. But the darker shades of the picture of this most extraordinary Queen Mother are at length relieved by the striking contrasts of the most brilliant lights and coloring. ‘She stands before us a heroine, even of this ago of progress and Gnanciering. And considering the deplorable laziness, the social marasmus, and general im- becility into which the once powerful and en- terprising kingdom and people of Spain have fallen in these latter days, the “> ahead” business activity of this dashing S$; voman is perfectly surprising. The fastest » vung men of the day, even of “ Young America,” mast yield the inside track to Dona Maria Christina de Bourbon. Hudson, the English railway king, has been a giant in his vast and numerous speculative operations ; the Pacitle Railroad Company, in their subeeriptions of stock for a «_.ble track over & line of two thousand miles of deserts and volcanic mountains, have startled us not a little with the amplitude of their finaueial arrange- ments; the tripartite speculation of twenty mil- lions, (though reduced to ton millions,) betweea Gen. Santa Auna, Gon, Gadsden, and Gen, Pierce, for a railroad slong Cooke's desert wagon route, was & magnificent thing; the foancial railway transactions of Robert Schuylur and of the Vermont Central corporation, wore rather Shove the average of ordinary enterprises «f that kind, and have created a tremendous sonsation from Wall street to the new ferry over the Kansas river; but 9 royal Castilian, of the fe- male line, ia the extont and in the yarlety of her monetary and political operations, in diplo- macy and war, and in State atocks and the faa. cies, transeends them all pnt together. IHuda- son, Santa Anna, Pierce, Gadsden & Co, the overland desert Paciic company, tho Vermont Central and Robert Schuyler, al! together, are eclipsed by Dona Maria Chriatina de Bourbon. We may throw in the Parker Vein Company, the entire lobby force of Colt’s patent extension, and the bombardment of Greytown, and Queen Christina can “go them a hundred beiter,” aud win, There is the indictment agalust her. Look at it, She is charged with extorting unlawfully nearly nine millions of dollars from the people of Spain to hegin with, leaving out of the ques tion all her various legal pickings and perqui- sites, and her alleged private arrangements with the Cuban slave traders, She has built palaces, purchased imperial estates, has made large investments in coal mining monopolies; has made # sort of Camden and Amboy concorn of tho Gijon railroad ; has gone largely into the business of canal enlargements on the plan of the late Erie Board and their contractors; she owns a prodigious amount of stock in a great manu- facturing monopoly; she is engaged “in various lines of railroad; and has established at Lla- vana engines and other speculations,” probably in connection with the mannfacture of sugar and segam, .All thete operations are charged upon the “Rianzares family;"\hnt the Queen Mother is undoubtedly the President and the transfer agent—the Robert Schuyler of the whole con- cern. “Our incredolity in the pretensions of women’s rights is ebaken.

Shopping, the fashions, the op+ra, balls, and match-making, are all well enough in their way. The Queen Mother has not neglected those feminine duties ; bat they have b.en her past'mes, She has showao that the pro; er place for the talented women’s rights woman is Wall street, or some such place, among the fancies, the bulls and bears, and Jame ducks and goslings. Heretofore, the extra privileges of our masculine females and blue stockings have been almost limited to leo- tures, conventions, books, magazines, news papers, and the lobby legislation at Washing- ton. But the Queen Mother of Spain has shown that stock jobbing avd finaaciering in all the railroad, canal, and mining and manafac- turing operations of the day, to say nothing of the African slave trade, are the proper sphere of woman. Cleopatra is the type-womaa of Mre, E. Oakes Smith; but the silly Egyptian was poor flirt compared with the practical, matter-of-fact, business-like Dona Maria Chris- tina de Bourbon. She is the type-woman of the nineteenth century. Gentlemen, clvar the gangway, and let the ladies pass. Canrrorsta Pourrigs—Tre Sruir Coxeter Aone HE Dewocracy.—We have published the proceedings of the gathering of the demo- crats of California in their State convention at Sacramento. The affair was an exact repetition o* the democratic explosion last yearatSyracuse. The convention has split into two conven- tions, with two sets of nominees for Congress, and two sets of resolutions. The Broderick anti-administration hard shells go behind the election of Pierce and re-aftirm the principles ot the Baltimore platform, giving the adminis- tration the go-by. The anti-Broderick soft shell party endorse the administration of Gen. Pierce out-and-out. Broderick is the candidate of the hards for the United States Senate, in the place ot Gwin, and Broderick is the Daniel S. Dick- inson of California. Dr. Gwin is the Senato- rial candidate of the soft shells, and he holds a position among the California democracy anala- gous to that of Marcy in this State. The whigs, adopting the principles of the Nebraska bill, have laid down a liberal platform, with the view of catching all the outside democracy, and the result will probably be that they will carry off the spoils, as in the late Missouri elec- tion. It is said that when David C. Broderick went out to California he promised his frieads that Uncle Sam should pay his mileage back again. He has been working to this end with the industry of a beaver. Shall he be defeated ? What ray the hards of New York? Raicnoads iy Great Burrary.—We publish elsewhere the annual report of the British Rail- way Department of the Board of Trade, which contains a synoptioal view of the business, &., of the British railways during the year 1853, From this we gather that the railway mania is again awakening in England, 940 miles of new railways having been sanctioned during the year 1853, At the close of that year, 7,686 wiles of railway were opened in the United Kingdom; of which 5,848 miles were in Eag- land, 995 in Scotland, and 843 in Ireland, In the ten years previous, no less than 5,650 miles of railway had been constructed, an average of 565 milesa year. The total amount of capital invested in there railways is about $1,350,000,- 000, on which the gross receipts in 1853 were $85,000,000, rather more than six per cent. The total number of passengers conveyed in 1853 was 102,286,660, an increase of upwards of thirteen millions on the year before. Out of this number 305 were killed and 449 injured; @ proportion we believe considerably less than the mortality on our own railways, It is greater, however, than the. mortality In Great Britain in 1852; and mush greater than that on Tailwaya in France and on the Continent. The report contains 9 mass of statistical informa- tion, which will be of service td our railway managera, Fires in New York. ym IN VESEY STREET.
