THE EAST and NORTH at WAR. — There is nothing more probable than a severe struggle be• tween the forces of the East and the Powers of the North. War is frequently denounced as the consumers of life and property, but there are some contests which preserve the former in the greatest comfort, and are the means of increasing the latter in a surpassing degree. The East and West-end powers of E. MosEs and Sort are concen trated to resist the unpleasant invasions of North winds and all in auspicious seasons, and the success their new Attire for Autumn and Winter will have is past calculation ; suffice it to say, all the fabrics that Art and Manufacture can produce have been carefully selected. All that skill and experience c ,uld introduce for novelty and com fort has been incorporated for the production of Winter Attire, such as is destined to surpass that of any previous sea.on ; and while all classes may avail themselves of the most fashionable and the cheapest Clothing ever offered, the vast stock just prepared by E. MOSES and Sox will afford admirable opportunities for selecting the best Goods in each department of their gigantic Establ shments 4-n unparalleled Stock of elegant and useful articles is provided in the Hosiery Department. The Hat, Cap, and Fur Section is replete with every novel intro duction for the season. The Wholesale Department affords advantages to Merchants, Captains, Shippers, and Emigrants far superiop to any other com- Tinercial enterprises Full lists of outfit for Ladies and Gentlemen, and ship-sailing in formation, may be had on application, or post free. _SAIITTION.— E.

Chloride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and purifying agent, is now established beyond all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in its application and innoxious in itself. The high price at whielti it hes hitherto been sold has prevented its general use ; to obvi.i.te this obstacle to its universal application as a disinfecting and purifying agent, the present manufacturer, who was many years with. Sir W. Burnett's Company, has arranged to supply the public with concen trated Chloride of Zinc in its greatest purity and at the loweut price. It is sold by all Chemists and Shipping Agents in the United King dom, in Imperial Quart Bottles at 2s. 6d. each ; in pints, lit. ; half pints, 6d. each ; and in larger vessels at 6s. per Gallon. Each Bottle will be accompanied with instructions for its dilution and use. Concentrated Chloride of Zinc in use may be diluted with 200 times its quantity of water.

When a man puts price on his commodities which the public will not pay, or imposes terms on his customers which they will not submit to, their refusal, and the fact that they suit themselves elsewhere, are conclusive against the propriety of the demand. Now, there has al ways been observed a peculiar infelicity in the time chosen for " strikes." Workmen either select the time when their employers are under heavy penalties for the early completion of contracts, when, of course, the " strike ' condemns itself by its treacherous and mischievous character, or, by some strange fatality, they fall on a time so conve nient to their employers as to suggest the idea of contrivance on the part of the latter. At the present moment we hear of combinations and strikes on all sides, in almost every branch of industry, and, as we are far from thinking that in this country the working man is, generally, too well paid for his strength, comfort, and condition, we are not sorry to find his prospects improving. But just now it so happens, and it can hardly be denied, there is a slight pause, ominous, possibly, of a still longer one in our recent unexampled career of prosperity.

Not only do the Grand Trunk board seek pretexts to break up the London arrangements, made on their behalf by their directors, Messrs. Glyn and Baring, with the assistance of the president of the company, the Hon. John Ross, Attorney-General of the Province, who was in England in April (by which arrangement the friends of the Great Western hoped at least to stop at its then point, the threatened injury to this company, as well as the credit of the province), but they are attempt ing by every possible means, including a threat to carry traffic from Sarnia to Toronto gratis, to force this com pany into an amalgamation. To so great an extent has this been carried, that public meetings have been held at Hamilton and London to protest against such pro ceedings. The first was a large, highly respectable, and entirely unanimous assemblage of the citizens of Hamil ton, and at which the following resolutions were passed by acclamation. " Whereas reports have reached this city from various quarters, as mainly proceeding from gentlemen connected with the Grand Trunk Railway, that measures are in contemplation by the directors and others aiding that enterprise, to endeavour to absorb the Great Western Railway Company into the Grand Trunk scheme. "And whereas any such amalgamation could not fail to operate most injuriously t o th e s t oc kh o ld ers o f the Great Western Railway, by joining their road to a larger and much less profitable enterprise, and placing it under the control of parties whose interest it would be to force the trade of the United States to the east and west of us, over a more northern, much longer, and less convenient route, and thereby in all probability forcing such travel and traffic round by the south shore of Lake Erie, thus turning off from this Province and the waters of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence the business that rightfully and fairly belongs to them--be it therefore "Resolved—That in the opinion of this meeting, the shareholders and directors of the Great Western Railway Company will bes t consult the interests of this Pro vince, as well as their own self-evident advantage, by de clining to enter into any amalgamati on w ith th e G ran d Trunk Rai resolutely lw ay, and eet namaintainining their own in c, the g, the route of the Great Western Railroad is so far superior to any o th er projected in Canada, that its prospects can only be injured " That in by amalgamation with any other line. " That this meeting, while resisting railway monopoly, looks with much satisfaction upon the recorded opinions of so eminent an authority as Mr. Robert Stephenson, in deprecating the evils of railway competition, and trusts that he may be enabled to advise the adoption of a policy in regard to the competition now threatened by the carry ing of the Grand Trunk line from Guelph to Sarnia, which runs the wh o l e wa y parallel to the previously chartered Great W e st ern Railway, at a very short average distance therefrom, instead of running North West to Saugeen and Owen Sound, a magnificent line of commu nication still unoccupied, and which would complete a railway system for Canada West, such as Mr. Stephenson has foreshadowed, white not interfering with any existing or chartered line of railway." At London also, the following resolution was passed, the leading men of the town supporting it, and speaking strongly as to the injurious effect upon Western Canada of absorbing the Great Western Railway into its large and already overgrown competitoii. Resolved—" That the extension of •the Grand Trunk from Guelph to Port Sarnia will, in the opinion of this, meeting, be the creation of a rival and unnecessary line, and that the true interests of both the Grand Trunk and Great Western Railway companies, and of Western Ca nada, would be best served by avoiding that species of competition so much deprecated by Mr. Stephenson." The great efforts which have been made to accomplish the absorption of the Great Western Railway into the Grand Trunk scheme—efforts which are visible in every act of the latter, its directors, contractors, and agents, have compelled the present appeal to the shareholders of the Great Western line. All that has been attempted in this country by the Grand Trunk party has failed • the strong assertions and loud threats of the Grand Trunk have failed in shaking the confidence of the Great Western Board in the position which they have assumed —the attempted cajolery of the Canadian shareholders*, who know the facts and the localities, have had no effect, and the voice of the country is universally condemning the proceedings which are being resorted to to destroy the independence of this company. Still the efforts continue, and finding that all else has failed, we are now assured on unquestionable authority, that the Grand Trunk agents have sent to England to offer an amalgamation of the• two stocks at a considerable premium on the Great Western shares. This step of the Grand Trunk, has made the present appeal to the shareholders impossible to be avoided, and in the judgment of the directors, it is rendered the more necessary, on account of the expectations understood to be.entertained by the Grand Trunk party, that they will be able to influence (if not something worse) some of the leading railway men in England, now connected with the Great Western—a report which is evidently calcu lated to damage our case so essentially, however much we ourselves may repose that confidence in our friends in England, which their consistency and devotion to our cause in times of greater difficulty, ought unquestion ably to justify. Having pointed out the present position of matters in this country, and having felt it to be their duty to ex pose the proceedings which have characterised the pro gress of the Main Trunk, the Directors of the Great Western will now state a few facts which induce them to recommend their shareholders, firmly to retain their independent position, and under no circumstances what ever to listen to any overtures of amalgamation film the Grand Trunk Company. With this report two maps are enclosed. No. 1 shews the existing lines which have been chartered by Parliament. From this it will be seen what a glaring case of competition the Toronto and Sarnia line intro duces into this country, and it will chew the great ex tent of railway lines which will be constructed in a small and limited district, provided the projectors can induce foreign capitalists to supply the necessary funds. The only lines actually progressing at this moment are the Great Western, the Buffalo and Goderich, the To ronto and Guelph and the Erie and Ontario.

All the foregoing lines the directors feel it is the in• terest and duty of the company to aid the localities in constructing by every means in their power, provided Parliament and the Government will adopt and carry out the principle upon which they are based. The adoption of this system would of necessity involve the abandonment of lines of railway which have been agitated merely for the purpose of creating in this country competition, and would necessitate the aban donment of the connection between the Grand Trunk and the Toronto and Sarnia lines, which it has been shown is in defiance of the pledges of Parliament, the government, and the parties themselves. This would enable that Company to turn their line northwards, through the splendid tract of country stretching to the Georgian Bay —it would provide, with out the evils of competition, railway communication with all the prominent points on the western frontier of Canada, viz, the Saugeen, Goderich, Sarnia, Windsor, and Malden ; and it would afford to the various towns and districts better accommodation than a series of competing parallel lines, each attempting to vie with and ruin the other. It would have the effect of benefiting the Grand Trunk, by procuring for it the hearty co operation of this company, in exchanging with it, at its legitimate termination at Toronto, its proper proportion of the gre a t t rave l w hi c h mus t flow on to the Great Western line at its western termini, and would save the Grand Trunk the necessity of working an unremunera tive line of 170 miles, and after all, not getting any of the through travel, iithey force us into a state of com petition. It would ensure at an early date the doubling of the Great Western line from London to Toronto, a measurelwhich the vast traffic will, under any circum stances, soon render indispensable. All that is wanted to accomplish this is, that the shareholders, the men who provide the means to carry these great works into execution, should assert the power which they possess, regardless of th e i n t eres t e d clamours - , ,t. of contractors, who having got very heavy prices for their work, are naturally anxious to get as much of it to do as possible. All that has here been stated are facts, and facts alone. - '- The directors have the greatest confidence in submitting the case to the shareholders, feeling assured that they will always be supported in honestly and faithfully en deavouring to guard the interests of those who have done them the honour to appoint them to control and guard this great enterprise. They would at the same time take this opportunity of stating, that nothing would give them greater pleasure than to have the English shareholders send out two or three of the best and most impartial men that could be selected, to inquire into the present position and policy of this company, to inform themselves throughly as to' the facts herein detailed, and to examine into the prospects of this company's fulfilling the expectations which we now hold out. To such a commission fairly and impar tially selected, the board would be most happy and ready to afford every possible assistance and information. The Great Western has truth and justice on its side, and only needs that truth to be analysed and investigated to place the company in the position which it ought to oc cupy ; and the board are satisfied that no other effect can follow the strictest investigation into the Great West ern, its position and prospects, than to place it more firmly and securely in the public favour.

A. meeting of, scriphohiers in this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern ; Mr. F. H. Robinson in the chair. Mr. W. BRYSON said, lie had taken the liberty to con vene the meeting, but be had no doubt they would excuse him when he assured them that he was actuated solely by a desire to promote their interests in the present crisis of their undertaking. Having observed the correspondence which had taken place a few days since between the secretary of the Stock Exchange and Mr. Andrews, the managing director of the com pany, by which it appeared that the directors wished to obtain a postponement of the call of 2/. per share, which had been advertised for the Ist of November, he (Mr. Bryson) was led, in common with many other shareholders, to believe that so reasonable a proposi tion would be at once acceded to by the directors of the East Indian Railway Company. He could not imagine that those gentlemen *mild for a moment sup pose that in the present state of the political and mone tary world there was the slightest chance of that call being responded to. He believed the East Indian Ex tension shareholders were in a similar position to them selves, 2/. per share having been called on the extension shares, and the holders have the option of taking two and a-half shares for every share they now hold, on con dition of paying 2/. per share on or before the let of No vember. He took it for granted, however, that the ex tension shareholders were, like themselves, men of busi ness, and alive to the condition of the money-market, and that it was not probable that payment of the call on their shares would be made more readily than on the Upper India shares, seeing that their shares, with 2/. paid and interest accruing thereon, were now at a discount. His first impression, when he contemplated calling the meet ing, was to ask for an extension of time for the pay ment of the call, but, on reflection, the aspect of political affairs appeared even more grave than it was a short time since, and a considerable period may probably elapse before a favourable change may take place in the monetary world. He intended to submit to the meeting a resolution appointing a committee, with full power to act on behalf of the shareholders, and to concert, in conjunction with the directors, such steps as they may think desirable for the furtherance of their interests. He thought that course would be more desirable than aiming at merely an ex tension of the time for payment of the call, inasmuch as, should no improvement in the money market take place, it may possibly be necessa r y t o appeal to the Hon. East India Company for an increase of the guarantee of 41 per cent, already conceded. He had reason to be lieve that the views he had expressed were shared in by their directors, and concluded by moving the follow ing resolution : "That a committee be appointed, with full power to act on behalf of the shareholders, and to confer with the directors as to the present position of 'the company, and to adopt, in conjunction with the directors, such steps as may be considered advisable to protect the in terests of the shareholders." carry on their operations. Map No. 2 presents a different aspect. It will be seen the United States at both extremities of the Great Western Railway, with which it is in friend e ly stern the connec tion, and which will find in the Great the two shortest and most facile connection between . that upon it are laid down the lines of Railway in to and from t ' d with the vast tide of travel which one not acquainted is constantly flowing between the Eastern and Western .

Nature has placed that part of Canada traversed by the Great Western in such a position, as to make that line, in point of time and distance, immeasurably superior to any other route which can accommodate the same travel. Any attempt to force that travel by a more northern route, which would be tried if the Grand Trunk succeeds in securing the Great Western Line, would result in the entire loss to Canada and its railways of that vast tide of traffic which has been referred to, and which will, in the opinion of the best informed railway men on this continent, make the Great Western the best paying stock on this side of the Atlantic. Look at its feeders. On the one side of New York Central lines, which have paid 10 per cent. dividend, doubled their capital without. making any calls upon their shareholders, and with a traffic which is increasing at the rate of 25 per cent. per annum, bidding fair even now to pay 10 per cent, on its doubled capital. On the other side, are the Michigan Central and Southern lines, the first of which has paid dividends of from 10 to 14 per cent., and is connected with about 1,500 miles of Railway, stretching through the most flour ishing districts of the vast and teeming west, the travel of which will be drawn to Detroit and thence to the Great Western. Again the local business on the Great Western line will be of such an extent aAo present results, which hardly any expectations which we might feel justified in holding out, would at all approach. The position of Hamilton, at the head of navigation, will make it un questionably the place of shipment to the ports on Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence, for the whole of the extensive district west of it. On the whole, the directors must express their strong and decided opinion, founded on extensive local know ledge and many years familiar acquaintance with the districts and traffic which are soon to be served by the the Great Western, that nothing but amalgamation with Grand Trunk line can do us any vital injury. ex pected, be in operation from Niagara Falls t to London on the Ist of November ; it will be extended and by the Ist blind rectors to etahne,i,ra towwli :liiiie.ltieevned interests ttha that u st r ht t oe h a e lB t i r hs by the beginning of the following month . , seems ws to o ro t ce he e m d its entire length. suggestion of January, 1854, will be opened ford ieed, and the di- The Great Western line will, it is confiodHenatinlyiitonlts prospects are then about to be re i w lit i y ll bofe theso a g igantic scheme, for i ta n e t r t n h e o b e : t o h l s da e ry b s ground for merging those prospects into of Montreal.

A reference to map No. 2 will show a system of lateral lines, coloured red, running from the north and south into the Great Western line. They consist of a short branch to connect Malden (opposite the Southern Michigan line), with the main line— a line diverging at London South to Port Stanley on Lake Erie and another north wards, throu g h some of the richest 'townships in Upper Canada, Canada, to the point where the Sable empties itself into Lake Huron—a line running south from Woodstock, Colonel S. PERCIVAL seconded the resolution; which, after a 'short discussion, was carried, with one dissen tient. The following committee, with power to add to its number, was appointed to carry out the objects of the meeting, viz., Colonel S. Percival, Major Johnson, Ma jor Archer, Sir H. Maddock, Major Henderson, Mr. F. H. Robinson, and Mr. Maltby. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro ceedings. * The view entertained by the Canadian shareholders is best evinced by the following extract from the proceedings at the last annual meeting of this company, viz.:—" To prevent further discussion the president, Mr. Harris, would take an expression of opinion from those present, and would request those against the amalgamation with any other company, particularly the Grand Trunk, to stand. up. All the stockholders present immediately stood. up." OCTOBER 7, 1853. they will never be permitted to ke large fortunes. l . " Why should they?" some me ill a nswer. We will ask, in our turn, who that as a competency will risk it, and undergo all le sof trouble and anxiety besides, except in ordes, rise from com petency to wealth ? The best thing that can happen to a large town population is the accession of men who can erect large works in order to con vert their 10,0001. into 100,000/4 or their 50,0001.; into 500,0001. But with regular combinations, with the express view of dividing more equally among the men the profits of the master, and which start with the notion that a large fortune is an abuseand a crime, you may bid adieu to your capitalist. He will look out for some place inhabited by artisans not Socialists, and where he will diffuse the means of life to thousands, if they will let him have what he wants—some chance of wealth. Combination on these principles is mere Socialism. Supposing its demands to be submitted to, your 10,0001. is divided among the working men, and there is the end of it. The golden goose has been ripped open, and there are no more golden eggs. Leave the 10,0001. in the hands of the master, and it remains a fund of wa g es , a reservoir of enterprise, a reward of merit, and an encouragement to another man to enter the same trade and give the workmen two employers instead of one.

In the meantime, however, as 'before men tioned, the Governor in Council had, by proclamation, called into existence private companies for the construc tion of that part of the line, and the necessary steps to organise the companies had been taken. It appears that the stock was taken up mainly by Messrs. A. T. Galt, L. H. Holton, and D. L. McPherson, who were all three interested in the construction of the line. These gentlemen (Messrs. Holton and Galt especially) strenuously opposed the granting of the present Grand Trunk Act, and not without reason set up their vested rights, called into existence as they had been by the act of the Government, under - the authority of an act of Par liament, and expecting, as they did, to benefit by the con struction of the line. The proceedings before the railway committee are on record, and it appears that, despite the opposition of Messrs. Holton and Galt, the Grand Trunk Bill passed the committee, and was ordered to be re ported to the house.

General Wheeler, of the East India Company's ser vice, has been on a visit these last few clays with his brother, Major Massy Wheeler, in Limerick. Staff Serjeant Mackay, district medical officer, left Limerick on Sunday, to attend a soldier of the 72d, and his wife, at Clare Castle, who were taken sud denly ill with symptoms of cholera. One, a very marked and dangerous case, is since pronounced convalescent. The hour for soldiers being in barracks in Limerick is altered from nine to eight since Saturday last, Ist inst. Captain Douglas, 60th, and Ensign Preston, 90th, have joined the senior department of the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. Lieut. Hugh Lloyd, 87th, son of Eyre Lloyd, Esq., Castle Connel, is the first officer for a company in the above distinguished regiment. General Sir Joseph Thackwell and lady arrived at her brother's (Major Roche) seat, Ballymorris, Cork, where this distinguished officer had been enthusiastically re ceived. Captain Henry's troop, 4th Dragoon Guards, has re turned to Dundalk from Belfast. Major Burslem, 13th Regiment, is expected to relieve Major Holcombe, at Fermoy, this month. An investigation was held on Friday into charges brought against a sergeant and two privates of the 72d, for obstructing a Roman Catholic clergyman at the bar rack of Ennis. The men confessing to the facts, the charge was not pressed, and they were dismissed, with a caution not to offend again. The commandant at Clare Castle, Major Gaisford, afforded every facility for the inquiry. With respect to the charges of immorality and rioting on the road between Ennis and Clare, they will be brought before another tribunal. A very curious circumstance has occurred in Dublin garrison by a field officer of the 90th Light Infantry placing his commanding officer under arrest for alleged drunkenness. It is feared the affair will end in a court martial. It is the second affair between the officers. — Limerick Chronicle. The company of the 47th, stationed in Nenagh for the last two months, received the route on Monday last, and on Wednesday, under the command of Captain Villiers, left to join the depot in Parsonstown. They were re lieved by a company of the 72d Highlanders from Clare Castle, who arrived on Wednesday. We understand that Lieutenant Robert Jocelyn Philips, barrack-master of Dundalk, haws resigned his office, after a period of nearly 30 years service.
