Ne!rbery,

"Oh come you in peace here, or come you in war,
Or to dance at our bridal Young Lord Loohinvar r
His mission, an important one, is believed to
relate to the claims of the American Govern-
ment on Great Brita'n, on account of' the
Alabama. Two things appeal' to point to a
favourable solution of this little difficulty.
Ntr. Cushing is presumed to be the bearer of
an acceptanee by the American Government
of Lord Russell's proposal for a commission
to settle our differences. And then the
notorious Shenandoah, Captain Waddell,
having come into a British port, and surren-
dered to a British frigate, has been delivered
over with all her stores, to the Vice-Consul
of the United Stated, at Liverpool, who. has
accepted the transfer, and her officers
and Crew have been liberated on parole.
But again, on the other hand, there
are just as many signs of conflict. The
Russell-Adams Correspondence has been
commented on by the American journals in
a spirit of greater hostility than ever to
England. And what if Mr. Cushing comes
over primed with all this virulence to render his
" little bill?" liow they are disposed to com-
port themselves towards us in America may be
judged of by the fact that Pre,sldent Johnson
has released that pleasant mkt John
Mitchell at the behest of. the Fenian Con-
gress, whose "State Centre" (an Irish shop.
boy named Mahony) announces that there
will soon be numerous Fenian privateers
afloat. Be it so; there will in that case soon
be numerous ditto ditto in Davy Jones'
locker. All this, however, has so completely
alarmed the Canadian Government that they
are organizing an army of 40,000 men to
defend the frontier.

Ia—MAYORS ARE E4ECTED on the oth of
November, and the nones of November ought
surely to combine the double incantation of
"number nip," about which the Ger Mans
are so superstitious; but the hick of odd
numbers would seem to have well-nigh failed
to supply um with Mayor's nests on the
present occasion. Municipal offices of all
kinds have everywhere been at an unusual
discount. And if the Corporation Elections
of 1865 in our own good town of Dorchester
should ever be recalled to mind in the long
hereafter, it will be•with some surprise that
our files will be found recording nothing from
the candidates but "-Pray don't elect me,"
and nothing from those elected but the making
a virtue of necessity under protestation of
haying been returned against their will. We
are denied the opportunity of stating how the
happy family thus unwillingly herded to-
gether are likely to get on, because, although
the proceedings terminated in a banquet, the
press were, as usual, in this and in no other
place, jealously excluded, and we cannot say
what took place oVer their cups. We furnish
these civic exclusives with reporters at our
own expense all the year round, we open our
columns freely to their dreary discussions,
with the sole reward of being sent to
Coventry by them on all such occasions as
present the chance of recognition or acknow-
ledgement of ourpublic services. The present
writer can agora to break the neck of an lin-
grac oue custom by noticing it in this
manner, since, so far as he is concerned, an
empty compliment would end the matter.
But the interests of journalism require that
better treatment should be secured for its re-
presentatives than that allotted by some one
or other of those detestable limier-currents
that render everything notoriously hollow and
insincere, and in this instance shabby, in the
town of Dorchester.
