ploughing, it was creditablAn the whole, and the chair-
pion ploughing was very well done. Mr Trumper went at
some length into questions with regard to the harvest and
cultivation of the land, and in the course of his remarks
expressed his dissent from some of the views recently stated
by Mr Disraeli.

Several oth3r toasts were subsequently proposed and re-

Messrs. Dyson, Da Lacy, and Penniket. Mr De Lacy was
very warmly applauded for his performance on the cornet-

LITERATURE.

Canzworth House. By the Author of "Caste."

Three vole. Hurst and Blackett.
"Alisoun Grey—s Love Story," would have been
an appropriate and felicitous title for this novel.
Alisoun Grey, the heroine, is the life and soul of
the whole work, and the charm of her character
and the interest of her life all depend upon the in-
tense significance attached by both authoress and
heroine to the idea of love. A very simple, gentle,
tender little maiden is Alisoun, the defrauded
heiress of Cumworth House; but gentle, and
humble, and apparently insignificant though she is,
she eontrit es in process of time to subdue the
most stubborn wills and to soften the most obdu-
rate hearts. But this very charming and very love-
able heroine is hardly treated by fortune and by the
novelist. The hero of this love story is one of the
least attractive and least deserving of men. Per-
haps the better to illustrate her favourite love
theory, the authoress intentionally has made choice
of an unworthy object as the recipient of her
heroine's unselfish affections—the sunshine being
equally pure and equally radiant, no matter on what
insignificant or despicable object it may fall. If so,
we cannot but think, notwithstandiug the high-
flown idealism of her sentiments, that this celebrant
of love has committed a mistake. Such a heart as
Alisoun's should have been given to a nobler lover
than Launcelot Sturm. The very beauty of her
self-forgetting devotedness degenerates into weak-
ntss where the object to which it clings ceases to
command respect, and Launcelot Sturm most assur.
edly can command respect from no one. After..his
very shameful vacillation he appears indeed, and, no
wonder, heartily ashamed of himself. He hardly
ventures to show his face throughout the latter por-
tion of the story, the novelist perhaps being aware
that, whatever Alisoun might think, the reader
must be heartily and utterly disgusted with him.
Passing over (ander protest) the unworthy object
of Aliscuu's affections, we must give her historian
ample credit for the loveable heroine she has intro-
duced to us—so loveable because so loving. Here
is a glimpse of her in early happiness ;

THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA.

(From the Times Correspontien4.)
MONTREAL, Sept. 2G.
There are some phases of the war in America that
can be observed to better advantage in the cities of
Canada than in New York or Washingtor. The
Southerners from the border and debateable lands,
who can find no rest for the roles of their feet in
their native Status, who are banished by military
despots for the shadowy crime of sympathy, or for
the still vaguer cause of complaint, or of suspicion,
that they may and will at some future time, unless
muzzled, or imprisoned, or exiled, or shot, or hung
in the interval, commit some act to aid the cause in
which their reason and impulse are enlisted, congre-
gate under the segis of Great Britain on the free
side of the St. Lawrence, and bring with them much
information which is not obtainable in the Federal
States. They sit in the cool verandahs of the Clif-
ton House at Niagara Fulls looking wistfully over
the foaming river to the land their feet are for-
bidden to tread; drink or bathe in the saline waters
in St Catherine's, or on the shore of the Welland
Canal; fill to overflowing the Queen's Hotel and the
private lodging and boarding houses of Toronto ; or
perambulate the narrow streets of the quaint old
city of Montreal, so unlike anything they have seen
in the newer regions and rectangular cities where
they were born and bred. In all these places they
find not only the liberty of speech and action denied
them by Mr Lincoln's brigade generals, but the
warm hospitality of the wealthier and the good
wishes of the poorer part of the population. The
Canadians—who are certainly no upholders or
apologists of slavery—are so strong for the South
that there is scarcely one man in four in either of
the two provinces who does not sympathise with
it in its gallant struggle, and cordially pray that
success may crown its efforts to make itself one of
the nations of the earth. Possibly some selfishness
mingles in the feeling, for no Canadian, whether of
British or of French descent, but feels indignant at
the insolent threats of the Federal press—that, as
soon as the South is subjugated, the attention of
the Federal army will be directed towards Canada,
with a view to its incorporation into the States.
The threat may be idle, but is the none less offen-
sive, and as the Canadians desire to live in peace
with all men, and have not the remotest desire to be
sharers either in the glory, the indebtedness, or the
questionable liberty of the Americans, they mingle
with their admiration of Southern. heroism a strong
desire that it may succeed in teaching the
Northerners to know their proper place in the
comity of civilisation. Not that they doubt that
Canada could hold her own, evell against such a
powerful neighbour as the North, but that they
prefer as wise men to remain unsui'ljugated to the
inevitable suffering which such a struggle would
involve. Southerners in Canada, finding themselves
among a people so well disposed, are at all times
ready to discourse on American politics. By this
intercommunication of sentiment and idea, much in-

be consequently affecting the welfare of the com-
munity, it must encourage them to go on and
prosper in their up-hill task. Too much praise can-
not be awarded to those who thus persevere in their
attempts at training and improvements. They are
often surrounded by temptations, and beset with
those who ridicule their endeavours, but if they
succeed in their noble works their reward is certain
and their success is sure. No losses of fortune that
they may meet with in after years can deprive them
of their own intrinsic wealth, a well regulated
heart and a cultivated mind. These will remain to
be their inalienable possessions to smooth the rough
road of the highway of this world, and lead them
on in their efflrts to reach another and a better.

It must be a matter of general regret to all who
take an interest in the welfare of trade and the
well-being of their fellows that the attempts which
have recently been made to bring about an under-
standing between the masters and men of the
Midland collieries have hitherto proved fruitless.
The origin of the strike is doubtless familiar to
our readers. There has lately been a fall in the
price of iron at the rate of about per ton, and
in order to neutralise the effect of this it was
resolved to reduce the wages of the colliers six-
pence a-day, many of the masters being both iron
masters and owners of collieries. The colliers
loudly protested against this reduction, but
in vain, and some two months ago twenty
thousand of them struck work. They argue with
some show of reason that the burden should fall on
the workers in iron rather than in coal, but the
masters retort that coal is the principal ingredient
in iron manufacture. The colliers ought to bear
the lose. However this is hardly just, since if the
price of coal were greatly reduced the colliers
would suffer for it, not the iron workers. So the
matter has gone on for two months, with all the
usual features of a prolonged strike, the loss of stop-
page to business, and inconvenience on the part of
the masters, the hardships and struggles on the
part of the men and their families. The iron.
masters have been forced to get their coal
from North Wales and the North of
England, thus introducing a dangerous rival
into the trade whose advent both masters
and men may hereafter be disposed to regret. Under
these circumstances Lord LEIGH', the Lord Lieu-
tenant of the county, and some other independent
noblemen and gentlemen, wisely and kindly endea-
voured to meditate between the contending parties.
They convened a meeting of the owners and the
delegates, and made a modest proposition to which
the men acceded, but the masters unhappily refused
to agree. They have thus prolonged the unhappy
dispute which has already occasioned so much dis-
tress to the men and loss to themselves, and we
cannot help regretting they should not have shown
a fairer spirit of conciliation and compromise when
they had so favourable an opportunity of making
up the quarrel.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OFF CAMPER-
DOWN.—This day being the 67th anniversary of
the ever-memorable battle off Camperdown, we subjoin the
names of the only six veteran survivors who live to com-
memorate the glories of that day, together with the rank
they then held, the rank they now hold, and the ship in
which they served on this memorable occasion :—Admiral
Sir Edward Harvey, K.C.8., a recipient of the good ser-
vice pension, and who has three medals and two clasps, was
midshipman of the Beaulieu, 40. Vice-Admiral Thomas
Bennett, on the reserved list and in receipt of the service
pension, and who has a medal and two clasps, was a volun-
teer in the Monarch 74, and was wounded. Vice-Admiral
William Slaughter, K.H., on the retired list, who has a
medal and three clasps, was first-class volunteer of the Tri-
umph, 74; he has been three times wounded. Capt. George
Hi on the retired list, in receipt of the commander's
out pension of Greenwich Hospital, and who has a medal
and four clasps, was mate of the Ardent, 61, and wounded.
Commander William Somerville, on the retired list. in re-
ceipt of the lieutenant's out pension of Greenwich Hospital,
and who has a medal and two clasps, was master's mate of
the Isis, 50. Commander Spalding Mitchell, on the retired

AMERICAN BLOCKADE.—HALIFAX, Sept. 22.
The blockade runners the Lady Sterling and the Armstrong
cleared for Bermuda yesterday. The Little Hattie, which
sailed a few days since, returned to-day, Havannah, Sept.
17—The Denbigh arrived on the 15th from Galveston, and
the Susanna, on the 12th, five days from Houston. The
latter started with 325 bales of cotton, but reached this
port with only 73, having thrown the balance overboard to
facilitate her escape from a Federal cruiser off Cape San
Antonio. The Federal steamer Honeysuckle reports the
capture of the Matagorda (formerly the Alice), with 600
bales of intton, and the arrival of the prize at Key West.
The Matagorda was from Galveston for this port.

Besides the races that have recently taken place
at Ostend and at Brussels, those which have just
come off at Liege have been attracting great notice and
large assemblages of the people. Judging from the names
of the horses, it would be supposed that many of them were
of English blood, as among them are Well-done, Nancy
Bell, Piggy Wiffy, Tam-Tam, Fuirntock, Sinecure, and
Lady Emily,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The continued active demand for accommodation
cu behalf of the commercial classes has again kept
up the rate in the open market to 6 per cent, for
abort dated paper. The larger proportion of the
Public has therefore sought assistance of the antho•
reties, and the business transacted in the discount
department of the Bank has consEquently been
tattler consid ruble. The public are now beginning
to anticipate a reduction in the cfficial minimum
soon after the turn of the New Year. The improve.
tent in the position of the Binks of England and
Prance, as shown by the returns issued this morn
14', and the reductio❑ in the rate of discount at
Paris and Amsterdam, emboldened the commercial
community in their expectation of cheaper money
after the distribution of the January dividends.

The Bank of France rate of discount has been rem
(laced from 5 to 4i per cent,, and the Bank of
Rolland from 64 to 6 per cent,
