ditional loyalty of Orangeism, and we trust Parlia-
ment will not have met ci:e week before stringent
measures shall be adopted to put an eEd for ever to
a system irreconcileable with the free and tolerant
spirit of the age, repugnant to Christian charity, sub-
versive of law and order, ruinous to Ireland, and
disgraceful to the empire.

the same time most dangerous to Austria, as the latter
will Na ry soon find, in the growing increase of the in-
tiaenee of Servia in Hunpry."
The Vienna correspondent of the Independaznee,
of Brussels, writing on the 18th, states that he has
been informed by u person ordinarily well informed,
that "a Russian corps of 15,000 men is on the
frontier of Poland, ready to enter Bohemia as soon
as its presence shall be consl,]ered necessary. " The
same correspondent states, that numerous move-
ments of Austrian troops have recently taken place
in Hungary, Croatia, Dalmatia, Moravia, and
Bohemia.
' The Cologne Gazette states from Vienna, of tle
18th, that the mortality in the Austrian military
hospitals is very great, and that in that of Graetz,
where there are 1,600 sick, 16 physicians have died
of typhus.
The Austrian Dotes states on authority, that th.
Austrian Governmeril has finally resolved that no in-
demnity shall be made to the holders of paper money
issued by KossuTut, and has so replied to a commer-
cial deputation from Pesth.
Several political prisoners at Pesth haw just been
released. Among them are several Deputies of the
Hungarian Diet. Count RADAY. a friend of KOSSUT a,
who was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, and
Count KAROLYI, sentenced to several months' deten-
tion, have also been set at liberty : the latter was
condemned to pay a fine of 150.000 florins (375,000 f.),
but this has not been remitted.

The Corn Market in Mack-lane is stcady to-day.
The American lettora and papers by the Canada are

it is inorit interesag to note flat, tie belief in the
)rcability Gi a fd,i crop cit cotton was gaining ground
n America. Mr. T. J. Stewart, a well-known broker at

New Ifork, writes:—
" The season for ripening the plant, has been extended
so far beyond the anticipations and predictions of par-
ties interested in an advance in the article, that a dis-
poaition to over estimate: the probably yield is apparent
among those who feel disposed to take hold of it as an
investment, at what they may them the auspicious
period, and the range of estimate& are, consequently,

widely apart. A eery few, still pointing at 2,100,000
bales—a very respectable class has now been formed
around my estimete, of 2,300,000 bales—and quite a
namber, insist upon 2,400,000 and 2,500,000 bales—
basing their calculations for this yield, on open winter,
and the very close picking, which is looked for
as a natural sequence to the very high prices prevail-
ing. That the yield must be greatly increased oy
an
open winter, is too undoubted to be disputed. For that,
I think I have allowed enough.
"A killing frost was apparent in certain parts of South
Carolina and Georgia on the 21st and 27th ultimo, and
in Louisiana on the 4th instant. Whether general, even
at the last mentioned date, we are not yet advised. At pre-
sent prices, planters seem disposed to hurry in a portion
of their crops, and gladly accept the bids of the day.
The disposition to sell, however, seems to cease with
one-half of their product, and the summer market is
spoken of fur the remainder, for which anticipations run
high."
The weather in Canada, and New Brunswick, and
Nova Scotia was very mild. The Miramichi Gleaner
state:—" We cannot refrain from speaking of the season.
The weather during the last month has been the most
extraordinary we ever witnessed, and we question if
that respectable individual the oldest inhabitant' ever
saw the like. There has not been yet sufficient
frost to make a piece of ice on the shore
of our river. Persons still continue to work out in the
gardens and fields with a spade and plough. Yesterday
resembled a day in the latter part of May. The Eliza-
beth, the last square-rigged vessel in port, passed down on
Saturday. Several schooners arrived during the week."
A communication from Montreal states r—" The im-
partation of goods to the merchants' stores have been
great during the past week, and the handsome manner
in which articles are displayed in the different establish-
ments indicates an improvement in the taste of pur-
chasers, as well as in the wealth which induces this
mode of consulting their purses. There are quan'
tities of goods in Chatham, and notwithstanding the
ruin and decay' of the Montreal merchants, we
observe some new establishments which seem to attract a
fair share of the business. Our streets have been blocked
up at some times of the day with the farmers' waggons,
all bearing something to sell, the produce of their farms,
and putting some of the old " residents" in mind that a
great change has taken place in the few years
since the time they hunted deer and other
game over the scene of the present traffic; and
we may add that the same old settlers look
forward to viewing corresponding improvement in the
future, Annexation Manifesto to the contrary notwith-
standing."
Tho Money Market is in a tranquil condition, and
no activity is to be looked for until the turn of
the year. In the meantime there are symptoms of
" hardening," and the anticipations are strong that
there will be much buoyancy w ithin a few days. The
reduction of the rate of interest on Exchequer-hills at
Paris has an effect here, and no importance seems to bo
attached to the Nicaraguan affair, which the American
papers have no doubt exaggerated.
The Funds have been better, although business is not
