The Commercial Crisis in England. • From, all the accounts received during the last two 'months, there can ben° doubt that a state of affairs exists in Great Britain, which has not had parallel during' the existence of the presenrgen station; and, viewed in all its aspects, such a state of. Things as may now be witnessed, has probably never been known before. We think we are sate laconcluding, that, while former fin ancial di:Heal _ ties have been. finally overcome—after the endu rance of a long train of evils, originating in the means resorted to, to overcome them—without be ing attinaded by any very ,great immediate results, sdreetkig the government itself; those which now present themselves, are of such a nature as must lead to consequences of the greatest moment; and, it: may be, in a brief period of. time. The means heretofore tised, to overcome the greatest'. pecuniary . difficulties in that country, bays been of e'specious and deceptive character, calculated-only -to holster-up the sinking fortunes otthe - coniMercial and manufacturing interests, while,the Mass of the.people were neglected, and oppressed, and deprived of their just dues. Under the tyrant plea of Necessity, the masses Were forced to subsist upon the meanest pittance, while those; who reaped the fruits of their labor , were revelling in splendor. While heavy-headed and decrepit old age, and feeble and tender childhood, were ,doomed to constant toil Tor an inadequate corn- 1 -pensation, thousands of others, no better than ihemselves, were supported in idleness, from the! .r• . inComeof offices of no value to the People. Then I the oppressed and down trodden masses, would liamblY entreat their rulers to examine into the *fairs of the kingdom, with a view to their relief; • ; } - -and when they would still patiently endure, until '---hey could no,longer hope for any redress - of their , /grievances; and would timidly speak, in the pri. fesey if their families, of the wrongs they were enduring, until, (each inspiring confidence in the other,) they would dare openly to assemble, in " order; to enquire into the causes of their suffering, and the means by which it might be overcorne, they-have been cut down in the streets, by the swords of the same public vagrants, to support whom they were thus ground to the earth, and :deprived even of the food necessary to preserve their lives:l _Such has been the result, to the mass of the People in England, when the most serious corn. tneieial revulsions, heretofore, have afflicted her. --And this result has, as.vrethink, originated main ly, if not entirelp in the lack of intelligence and information among the People. The revolution of more than twenty years has brought upon the :etage new men, and greater intelligence, and news. papers for the People. :Then, the poor collier, and peasant; and weaver, and mechanic, was deprived ,of the means by which he could estimate his value aa'alnember of society. Then, he could form his opinions upon public acts only as he heard them Staten - at the hustings, by •, :My Lord," or through biy Lord's" servant, or his own employer. Now, .even the poor weaver and collier can afford, (so -cheap has become the newspaper.) occasionally ";to purchase, the means by which he can truly esti- Mitt-the powers of his owfi mind, and calculate his own value as a man and a—suiject. He can at least see Where the wrongs be endures originate ; even though deprived of the means by which im mediately to overcome them. But a wise man of „ ! `his country has told him, that ~ Knowledge is power ; " and Mit knowledge which he possesses yet point to the means by which to redress -bis wrongs. We are not so sanguine as to make very I irge calculations upon anything likely to result, imme diately, calculated to benefit the mass of the reo.l v pie of England.seßeforms of a material natured will, we have no doubt, follow the present embar rassments; but we are not prepared to anticipate all which.seems to be looked for by some of owl contemporaris. The mass of the English People -area quiet, patient and enduring race. They hovel long been Muted to wrong . and oppression ; and something more wonderful than is yet anticipated • must occur, before we can look for the accom plishment of any thing great by the masses there.

Present Condition of the Country-..P0.. litical Storms.—Neeessitr of Union... Wilmot Proviso• - WASOINGTON CITY, D. C. Nov. 8, 1547. The present situation of our country is one of peril and danger; and although we fondly hope that the clouds will pass away, and that the gath ering' storms of ambitious and unprincipled fac tions, will be rebuked and silenced by the common sense patriotism of the d emocray of the nation ; yet we kar that bitter strife is at hand,—and that we shall be compelled to witness fierce conflicts, between those who have heretofore fraternised in peace and harmony—and who should crow—when ' a desperate move is made to tarnish the honor of ' our country, and retard the progressive move meats of the age—unite boldly and determinately to defeat our enemies at home, and our foes abroad. The Wilmot Proviso " has been a fire brand in the democratic party; and although, at the present moment, it is not, and will not, for a long tins 4 to come, be a question of any practical importance; yet our federal opponents have seized it with avidity, and are now making use of it, to divide and distract the democratic party. In :New York, they have unhappily succeeded, to a fearful extent. In that great democratic State, the party has been beaten, overthrown, and entirely routed; and the whigs and abolitionists have command of the Empire State. Our enemies rejoice at out di visions—they gloat, with demoniac satisfaction, at the prospect of such a disorganization in our ranks, as will secure to them national power, when they can carry out ,their s schemes of a National l Bank, a High Protective Tariff, the Distribution or the Public Lands, the creation of Monopolies, and all those odious measures, against which the de• mocracy of the nation have been battling for years. It has been affirmed in some quarter, that the re cent vote in Pennsylvania, which gave us eighteen thousand majority for Governor, was a declaration in favor of the Wilmot Proviso. We deny it in toto; and aver that the Proviso had nothing to do with. the result, except so far es it may be taken as an indication against it. The Wilmot Proviso is no part of the national democratic creed; and although I am hostile to slavery in all its forms, shapes, and abominations, yet I. am too fondly at tached to our glorious Union, with all its bless ings, to hazard its dissolution, by making an ob. strael question a rallying point, or governing prin ciple, which can neither benefit the slave nor the white man. The doctrine of my native State; is certainly free labor, free speech, and liberty all !coier the world; but the democracy of the " Key ' stone '' havtoo holy and sacred a regard for the Constitution of the nation, to attempt to in. ;fringe upoa the privileges of others, or in the least 'impair those rights, which 'Nacre conceded and guarantied by the patriotic fathers of our country. Two.of our own eminent statesmen have given , utterance to the voice of Pennsylvania on this matter; and when our people 'shall be called on to vote for a Presidential candidate, We think she will be found on the side of the Constitution; and voting with her thousands o(smajorities, for the Union, the Constitution, arid Compromise!! In the political circles here, one of the principal topics discussed, is in relation to where the next President shall come from.—and it is gener a lly conceded by all parties, that the Democratic can. didate will come from Pennsylvania. No State in the Union can present a greater array of men of talent and ability . , than our Commonwealth. Without saying anything of those in private life, or who are filling State offices—let us look at those who form a part of the administration. First, then, is the Hon. James Buchannan. the Secretary of State, than whom his superior cannot be found in the Union. As a diplomatist, he holds the highest rank; and in the .management and con duct of our foreign relation; he has displayed a I skill, sagacity, judgment, and honesty of purpose.; that have won for him abiding confidence.at home, and admiration and respect abroad. His timely letter to the Democracy of Old Barks, on the new tern. I tory question, has gained him the approbation of the Democracy, from one end of the county to the other; and he is looked; to with hopeful trust as a conservative statesman, in whom both North and South may confide without fear. Next, we have the Hon. George M. Dallas, who has been appropriately called the " favorite son of I Pennsylvania;" and whose patriotic course in the' Senate, on — she great national issue of Liberal Trade, or a High Opirressive Tariff, will never be forgotten by those ialio regard the interests of the masses, and the comforts of the toiling millions,{ as superior to the greedy demands of the " money ; changers," and the heartless cravings of specula tors and monopolists. As the firm, fast friend ot "equal rights and equal justice to all," he is hail. ed as an honest man, and a disinterested states-! man. Of his abilities, mental power, and intellec tual brilliancy, I need say nothing,—his eloquence has been heard atthe rostrums of the people—his forcible arguments at the legal tribunes, and his { wise counsels, and just decisions, in the Senatorial Chamber of tie Nation. Next and last, though not least, we are present.' ed with the Hon. Robert J. Walker, who, notwith standing, now hails from Mississippi, we claim as, a Pennsylvanian by birth. And what shall J say of him'? Has not all of our country, and ail Fu• rope, rung with praise at his great movements in promoting Liberal Trade, and extending hut. com merce all over the world. In the fiscal concerns • of. the nation he has effected a revolution. The iniquitous tariff of 1842 has given way to the more just one of 1846. Jostle* has been asserted, and oppression has disappeared under the salutary operations`of his new tariff. It was alleged that the new tarriff would yield no revenue; arid that the treasury, under its opera- tion, would soon be without a copper, and the' nation become bankrupt. But the returns for every month since the new bill went into opera. tion, show that the enemies of the measure were false prophets,—and their predictions have been falsified by facts. For the month of October, the excess of revenue for the cities of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, over the same :month under the Tariff of 1842, is more than seven hundred and seventy thousand dollars!! • This, it must be recollected, is only for one month. •1 bad intended to give an exposition of Mr. Walk. era views on the appropriation of the public lands, but I must defer this subject omit another time; suffice it to say - that be is Opposed to disposing, of them to spelttor'S and monopolists. Thus I have given a brief sketch of three Penn. sylvanians who occupy the most prominent places in the nadoiial administration And, as a Nam sylvaniancl feel proud that I can point to any one of, them and say there is a statesman and patriot, he is my countryman. Pennsylvania, in the present posture of our affairs, May legitimately advance her claims for the ne2cs President; and I trustshe will not tamely submit to.be put aside by the bolder-and'more clamorous pretensions of others.- For the Vice Presidency, , the-Secrtraryofihe Navy,—the Hon Mr. Mason,--would do well. He Is a liberal, of the go-ahead kind, and is identified with the prOgressiy. eDemocracy. - REPO RD TETE SAXON. Georgia. Both branches of the Genera!

"TILE BEAL-I.] ex I. Fri xx cn GI az. ; or the daugh ter of Monsieur Fontanbleu." This is the title o a most thrilling and exciting story, founded upon occurrences in real life. It is very neatly printed on good paper and handsome type—in the cheep form,and published by T. B Peterson, of Philadel• phis. It is for sale by CALDIVILL, nearly opposite the Post Office ; and we have no doubt it will sell readily. Hoes IN Onto—We observe by our Ohio ex- change papera, that extensive preparations are now being made in that State for the Slaughter of Hogs this fall. The high price of Bacon during the pros ent year, has held out many inducements for far mers to turn their attention more particularly to rait-ing Hogs; and we presume the number slaugh tered this year will vastly exceed that of last year. The number of Hogs in Ohio in 1846 and 47, 6 months old on the Ist Janeof each year, as roturn• id by tt.e Assessors to the Auditor of State; Total number in the State in 1846, 1,494,621 Number in GI counties returned for 1847, 1,372.113 Nutnhe• in same counties in 1846, 1,097.864 Increase in these 61 counties, 274,247 Being very near 25 per cent., or one fourth, at which rate, adding the counties not heard from, the whole number in the State for the year 1847 would be about 1,736,000, which is nearly one hog for each inhabitant of the State—saying nothing of pigs less than six months old on the let day of June last. Tar: SPI.3SI.IiSIIIP —Our friend Jacob Zeigler, E-q., who has been talked of as a suitable person to fill the place of Speaker of the House of Rep resentatives, at Harrisburg, speaks as follows in his last paper in relation to that office: Aware that the station is one, the duties of which are difficult and arduous to perform, we are Tittle inclined to seek its enjoyment At all events, the most prudent course is, to leave the subject as it is, without discussion or agitation, until the Democratic membe rs , shall have met in caucus, and then let a selection be made, satisfactory to all. On whoever that choice may fall, we shall regard it as the decision orthe majority, and bound under all circumstances tb support it." PrrTsvenoa Tasvr.L..—ln the single month of August there were waybilled by the Ohio Stage Co.. to Pittsburgh, six hundred passengers. This is what one company have done, saying nothing of opposition lints, and private and cartel convey ance. Were There a Railroad instead of a mud Hike. the number would no doubt be quadrupled, as it would take moat of the river travel Early in the spring, before navigation opens to Buffalo, which is several weeks atter it opens here, this road would catch the whole tide of travel between the east and west. What say Clevelanders to subscribing the same amount of stock on behalf of the city to this road, as to the Columbus route ayfhe above, which we copy from the Cleve land Plaindealer, should arrest the attention of our citizens to the importance of a Railroad con nection with Lake Erie. An immense number of business men, residing in the northern portion of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and in Michigan and Wisconsin, who at present go to the eastern cities by way of Buralo, would be induced to visit Pittsburgh, if we had a Railroad in operation to Cleveland. Every dollar expended by our citizens for the construction of that road, will return two dollars through an increase of business, in the course of a year. But where is the use to present facts and arguments on this subject, to our citi zsi,.unless they go to work and take stock? We trixe too much talking, and too little aeting. , TatTanrrr or Is46.—The increase of revenue', under the new Tariff, as compared with the Tariff of 1842, still continues.

It says : uWould such an arrangement leave suflHent,time fur the can• vass, especially in the West where the merits of candidates are discussed from the stump? We shall have a long account to settle with our political opponents, and it is proper that ample time c shOuld be given for the people to learn all the facts.

Thompson vs. Thompson. lastica COMWRS R : A legatee, to whom a pecuniary legacy was be queathed, payable out of the personal estate left to one of the heirs, will not lose her claim to such legacy, by joining with all the other heirs in set tling land devised to them, such devise being made under the impression that it was a fee simple, but re?vera, the testator had but a life estate. ' The rule, that the devisee, who disappoints the intention of the testator, shall not claim any ben efit under the will, is inapplicable to the above circumstances. 1412 Alia vs. Smith rt al. Chief Justice 011180 N : An improvement commenced after notice of a prior application for the same land.' (north and west of the Qhio, 4c.,) will be postponed to such application. The origin of the written title is the certificate of the Justices. The title of a bona fide settler of vacant land attaches with the first stroke of the axe—the title of an applicant for a partictthit tract, by the first stroke of the pen. In the matter of the account of Janus .4. Me.

Where the parties to the contract were partners in the projected Salt Works, when the work was done, consent to postpone the erection, would postpone the right of action If the defendant received another partner in place of the workman. ii was the defendant's duty to start the operation of the Works, and ho would be bound to pay iu reasonable time.

We saw anum ber of persons who appeared to be "under the in fluence," while others were patiently awaiting the effects of the manipulations which were being practised upon them. The society has been in ex istence for some months, but the members have very properly chosen to proceed quietly in their investigations into the newly discovered phenome na of "Mesmerism," until they should arrive at such a point as would justify them in calling the attention of the public to their meetings. We un derStanilthat on the first Wednesday of each month, they hold general meetings to which the public are invited; to hear lectures and witness experi. ments. The society meet every Wednesday even ing in the room above designated. Ladies as well as gentlemen have been magnetized, some at the distance of seveasl squares. ,So we were told by one of the menibers; who asstired us that this bat ter experiment was sufficiently tested to satisfy the most sceptical. They have two or three clair voyant subjects, who are making good progress, and it is thought they will in a short time be ripe for high developments.
