LIVERPOOL, WIDNISDAT.
Tke Montreal Ocean Steamship Company's screw
steamer Indian, Captain Jones, arrived in the
Mersey this afternoon, at 3 o'clock, with 166 pas-
sengers, the usual mail, and a general cargo. She
left Quebec on the 26th ult.

The Indian pared the screw steam ship Anglo
Saxon, of the same line, October 1, in lat. 63 north,
lon. 47 west. The Indian had to encounter thick
fogs in the early part of her voyage, and ham slightly
damaged her machinery.
The accounts of the harvest from all parts of Ca-
nada are very favourable ; it is expected that there
will he more than average crops. In the lower pro-
vince business prospects are gloomy, and much
commercial depression prevails. The St. John's
(New Brunswick) Leader thinks that the commercial
embarrassment had reached its climax. There is no
other news.

The Quebec markets exhibit no improvement,
although several large sales are reported to have
been made in red pine. There is little doing in
deals; the beet qualities are firm, with only a
languid demand. Freights are very dull, especially
for Liverpool, very few being inclined to ship at any
rate. :13e. quoted for London, and 22a. to 395. far

credit of conferring this boon on the Malta,,. Tho Rev.

LISBON, Ocv. 1.
The fever which was ranging the city* when I
wrote by the last packet has not yet commenced to
abate its violence, but, on the contrary, the Mat
few days have shown somewhat of an increase in the
official returns which are made up every evening.
A sanitary commission has been called together by
the Minister of the Interior, and I believe that the
members were of opinion that the prevalent disease is
a fever of a typhoid character, but that many actual
eases of yellow fever have occurred.
Many of the streets, particularly those in the
districts where the fever is meet preva-
lent, have been sprinkled with • dMinfeet-
ing fluid, and every exertion is being made to
provide proper treatment for the sufferers, and to
ensure speedy removal to the hospital for such as
cannot be treated at home. Moreover, now that the
evil has been allowed to come upon us, means are
being taken to flu,h the sewers, and empty the
many receptacles of filth which abound in the city,
such as the staircase wells, established by Pomba',
which have been allowed to become choked with all
sorts of abominations, the privies, et hue genus ONUS*.
It is sincerely to he hoped that the advent of high
winds and rains is approaching, which will do a
great deal to second the efforts of the Board of
Health.

It is a remarkable fact that the Custom-house
appears to be the focus of the disease, and many of
the employes have fallen victims to it. Whilst I
write I hear that the Director Carvalho d'Oliveira
has also fallen a victim to the disease. He was a
gentleman well known and universally esteemed,
and his death will be universally regretted. Ile was
brother to the councillor of the same name, who was
formerly financial agent to the Portuguese govern-
ment in London, and who died a few months ago.
There has been a severe thunder storm in Evora.
A mill was struck by lightning and burnt to the
ground, and a recently erected steam-mill was
seriously injured, the chimney and several of the
walls being thrown down.

CEREBRAL ORGANTRATION.—When the Idiot Instil-

goat/seas. the Ile.. Dr. Andrew Reed, he celled on mq sad
we lent hies a 148. copy of a work on the subject, mention-
ing at the same time our own experiments—Paying, When-
ever there wee observed any marked change Is the temper,
diepositice, or intellectual capscity, and that these previously
irreepsentil• persons began to give proof that they had se-
quined more self-control, corresponding to their improved
Intelligence; that whenever this wee the awe, there was also
observed an alteratka in the forme of their heads comma-
mutate to this moral change.- The doctor atoned to mold
the statement with some erepaclaem. Bat some years ally
the Idiot Institution had been established, the doctor god is
ia Loadoo, sad after a friendly greeting, 't Ile had to
apologbee for donbbag about the heed sharing, for the usein the mylone which Lad positively benefited by the mann,
that their heeds bad undergone • decided alteration, being
=improved in Veen." After thanking the worthy
for kis candour, we affirmed that it afforded no ese-
prime that each should be tho case, as the organic laws, mks
all the other laws of God, were constent.--sfetrnesi (/
