LORD PALMERSTON IN NOTTINGHAM. -- The
Premier arrived here on Wednesday night from Riddings,
Derbyshire, and received the Mayor, Town Clerk, and
several members of the Corporation at the George Hotel.
Yesterday morning Lord and Lady Palmerston, accom-
panied by the Mayor, visited the extensive lace machine
works of Messrs. Hartshorn and Oldknow, and were highly
pleased with the intricate machinery for making curtains,
for which that establishment is so justly celebrated. Thence
they proceeded to the lace warehouse of Messrs. Dtuani •
cliffs and Smith, Stoney-street, where Lady Palmerston
made several purchases. I hey also inspected the bonnet
front machinery. Upon leaving the warehouse the people
outside cheered his Lordship most vociferously, and the

VOLUNTEER FORCE IN CANADA.—From an offi-
cial return lying before us, we find that the total volunteer
force of ,Janada now in existence and recognised by Govern-
ment numbers 14,219. Of these 10,615 are infantry, 1,687
are artillery, and 1,615 aro cavalry, with 202 engineers.
There are in addition other corps drilled and only waiting
the recognition of Government to be armed. These unre-
cognised companies would swell the aggregate volunteer
force of the province to over 16,000 men; and if to these
are added the 10,000 militia provided by the new act, we
have a gross total of 26,000 men.--Canadian .News, Sep-

THE PEACE SOCIETY.—The Peace Society has
issued an address to the people of the United States. It
says :—'‘ Is the time not come, we repeat, friends and fel-
low Christians, when an attempt should be made to arrest
this destructive conflict? We deprecate utterly all armed
intervention at all, but such as you yourselves would will-
ingly admit, on the part of England or any European
Power, in your affairs. But surely the idea of a friendly
mediation may be entertained without any derogation of
your national dignity. We beseech you to reflect that
sooner or later, some method of peaceful adjustment must
be adopted. There are only two alternative issues of war
—either the utter extermination of one party, or some form
of accommodation and compromise between the contending
sides. None of you can wish the former. And is it not
better at once to have recourse to the latter, before fur-
ther blood is shed, and the feelings on both sides shall be-
come bopelessy inflamed with animosity and vengeancer
THE NORTHERN HERRING FISHERY.--This
week, the last but one of the regular fishing season, closes
very discouragingly, and leaves no ground to hope that an
average catch can now be vouchsafed. Contrary to expecta•
tions and indications, the daily return has been exceedingly
poor, so much so that hundreds of crews have morning after
morning returned without the slightest success. The wea-
ther has been exceedingly mild and the tides very strong,
and now the indications which were presented off our shores
in the early part of the week have is a great measure dis-
appeared.
