' Business Prospects.
Wrc "penned off-hand articlo on "The
Times" for our last nmnber,': but extended our
remarks, unwarily o far nponono view of the
subject! that V were compelled to 'omit a
few ucattioea. tli&t it Lad oxxurrv.il to us to
make upon its more practical aspect.
As we pretend to no other than common
very day sagacity in regard to so prolific a
subject, n few words will embody all that we
proposed to any upon the Times, looking at
them' in a business point of view.
Taking tlio periodical tide in the money,
and business transactions that hare, since the
establishment of bur present constitution, al
ternately elbed and flowed throughout, tho
United States, as a criterion by which to
judge Low long before the present high tide
must suddenly subside, it would be prudent !o
conclude, that tho lima e;tt. not be very fur
distant;
It. lias been rarely, if ever the case, that
more monev has been ailoat in our cuiiitrv, ,
than during the last year or two almost for
'"a wender, the complaint of a scarcity of
money, except as regards silver, and small
change in particular, is now rarely heard.
There is undoubtedly a very large amount of
paper money afloat in the country, and gold
was never so plentiful. Thj latter, however,
bears an immense disproportion to the former.
The effects of the facilities for command
ing capital are seen upon the business trans
actions of the country, generally.1 The fa
cilities for borrowing money have no doubt
given an unwonted impnlso to enterprise, and
trade, and in many cases no doubt ,to what
is- ptcpsrly -.deEss&insted. -ttpeeMlatitm The
public pulse beats with almost a fever of
enterprise. It is visible in the eagerness with
which individuals take hold of business ope
rations of all kinds. In merchandise in all its
varieties, in manufacturing on an extended
calc, in lli shipping business, A-e. all over
" the counlryncw Louses a5u new firms are
constantly- emerging into notice. It rises
from individual enterprise to larger opera
tions by conipai.ies,tiy communities, by States
Tbis unwonted spirit of enterprise is per
bops seen, to operate, most plainly, and on
, the largest scale, in projecting and construct
ing Railroads and establishing extensive and
costly Steamboat lines. It evidently how
, ever pervades, the whole community, in an
i, uncommon degree, and is every where seen
to adnata all" classes in enterprises of great
er or less extent. '. , ..(;;,.'
" tnean not whether or no prices of provisions, 1
" of the great staples of the country, of goods,
; f Ubor, of real estate, and of property in
r general, wiil ke-p up to the present mark,.or
oocasionaily advance or recede to a certain
extent This, as a matter of eonrse, must in
any event be expected. Variations in prices
of different articles, of labour Aa of course
fluctuate as temporary causes effect the de
mand and supply.
But the important question is, can the
time continue what they are for any great
length of time, or may wo' not reasonably
calculate on another wide spread revulsion
at no distant day f
The question we suppose resolves itself
"into this. Is the present condition of the coun
. . try one of sound or only hollow prosperity,
Mid if hollow when will the hubble burst 1.
t .T8 kaTe rrived at an enquiry, w con
fess, in regard to which, we are conscious
of some indecision of mind.
Judging from the history of tho past in our
country, we should have no difficulty in coming
to a 'conclusion, and 'no-' hesitation in ex
pressing an opinion, were it not that a newt le
nient has undoubtedly been in operation
. among the" causes that have contributed to
7 produce the present condition of things. TLv
'it will at once occur to the render, is the un-
nsual qvajjtity of g.jM' tlitt L.-wj flowed into
, the United States snd into England wiihin
the last three or four years from California ;
and more recently,. ir,to England, from Aus
tralia.". Wtrj it not for this fact, wc should
aing ont lustily, look c-ut aloft and below, anci
all around, for a sudden "blow up" soon.
The grand source of our danger is, the
xcess of our imports over our exports.
We buy from Europe and other countries
more than we sell to them. This muit nd
does leave the balance of trade agaiast us,
nq of course an m,Teanng debt that
must In time be paid. This would, in
all probability, pro-luce a general revulsion
.after a while, gold or no gold. But tiilthe
gold serro wore than a Xeuipoiary purple,
at beV in jwttting off the evil day evan if
it continues to cmne in as it heretofore

W e were quite enchanted a lew day ago,
while passing the Music Store of Mr. John F.
Uanffou Broad Street, directly opposite the
Washington Hotel, at hearing some most de
lightful music, discoursed, accompanied by the
XTelodean, 'an Instrument, wo presume, entire
ly new to the most of our chirrs. A descrip
tion of its Melody would hq-vain for us to at
tempt; but Urn much we will say, that when
touched with skill by tho fingers of the gentlo
fair and Accompanied with her soft melodious
voice, the effect is exquisite. Mr. Ilanff has
introduced, in tlio establishment of his Music
Store, a new feature in the trade of our. town,
and we doubt not will it prove a successful one.
By reference to his advertisement in anotner
eolutnn it wilt be seen that he keeps a great
vaiiety of Music and Musical Instruments. Ca'l
on him and look at his l'Linoi if yo u want to
see something splendid.

which has been piibiislie.1, to Mr. C'rampton,
the British Minister a Washington Citv.
