CEPHALONIA.

The French Cofistitutionnel gives a letter from
Cephalonia, without date, which mentions that three
journalists had been banished by the LORD HIGH
COMMISSIONER, and that five prisoners, including the
priest ZAPAIIDI, had been hung. The two chiefs
ULVERO and Nomtuo had not yet been arrested. A
great number '6l insurgents had then whipped, a
mode of punishment which had excited the utmost
exasperation, those who suffered it calling out to be
put to death as they had been dishonoured.

TILE LILY AND THE STREAM.
(From Eliza Cook's Journal)
A lily-cup was growing where the suet/Inlet tide was
flowing,
And rich with grace and beauty there it bent;
And pass'd the whole day long in dancing to the song
Which gurgling ripples murmured as they went.
Though rush and weed were there, the place was fresh
and fair,
And wavelets kissed the Lily's tender leaf;
The Lily wood the water, and drank the draught it
brought her,
And never wore a tint of blighting grief.
A strong hand came and took the Lily from the brook,
And placed it in a painted vase of clay;
But, Rh! it might not be, and sad it was to see
The suffering Lily fade and pine away.
The fountain-drops of wealth ne'er nursed it into health,
It never danced beneath the lighted dome;
But wofully it sighed for the streamlet's gushing tide,
And drooped in pain to miss its far-off home.

Now human hearts be true, and tell me are not you
Too often taken like the gentle flower;
And do ye never grieve, when Fortune bids ye leave
Affection's Life-stream for her gilded Bower?
Oh! many a one can look far back on some sweet brook,
That fed their soul-bloom, fresh and pure and shining,
And many a one will say, some painted vase of clay
Ras held their spirit, like the Lily, pining.

EEIZA COOL

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sut,—May I ask you the favour to correct
a slight, though to me not unimportant error, in the
gratifying intelligence which appeared in your
journal of last night, respecting the Arctic Expedi-
tions, and which I had the honour of being able to
communicate personally to the Lords of the Admiralty
yesterday. It is stated that the communications
were made to the Admiralty by the Editor of the
Mercantile and Shipping Gazette, instead of the
Shipping and Mercantile Gazette, the correct title of
the paper.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your very obedient Servant,
WILLIAM

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MormisG.—By the
steamer just arrived from Havre our corresnondent in-
forms us that the sales of cotton yesterday at that port
received a considerable impetus from the New Yorkadvice/ per the Niagara,vid Liverpool, and that a rise
of from If. to lf. 50e. took place, the sales amounting to
1,528 bales; still, however, the market was anything but
steady. The St. Dennis, from New York, the France-
et-Brazil. from Rio Janeiro, and the Adele, from Porto
Rico, arrived yesterday at MN re.
NEW YORK, SEPT. 19.—Mr. James Hudson, the
eminent Irish comedian. who has just arrived here from
London, appeared on Monday evening at the Broadway
Theatre, and was extremely sueeetsful. The audience
was large, and greeted him with enthusiasm.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a quick, yet steady, market for Cotton at
Liverpool yesterday, at firm prices. The sales, how-
ever, were on a limited scale, say 5,000 bales, including
500 taken on speculation, and comprised 400 American,
300 Pernam and Maranham, at to 61, 1W Bahia,
at 511. to &id., 100 Egyptian at qd. to 6id., and 200
Surat at 4d. to 4p. per lb.—ln Railway Shares there
was no alteration.
The Corn Market is quiet to-day, the arlivals of
foreign being large, and iucludin,,,e. 21,050 qrs. of Wheat,
7,860 of Barley, and 13,930 of Oats.
In the Mincing-lane Produce Markets this week,
business has been comparatively dull, the supply of
most articles being larger. The consumption, however,
is good, and there is a healthy tone among the dealers,
who can keep up their stocks at convenience, such are
the facilities afforded. Tallow is particularly flat, the
quantity available at St. Petersburgh being 155,000 to
160,000 casks, the home make being large, and the im-
ports from Australia and South America considerable.
There seems every prospect of tallow, in future years,
ruling permatently lower, much to the advantage of our
poorer classes, though to the detriment of the producers.
There are accounts per Seagull, arrived at Falmouth,
to the 16th Au.guit from Buenos Ayres. The exchange
was at 2 17-321 At Rio do Janiero on the 15th Au-
gust budness was brisker, the elections having termi-
nated peaceably.
We observe in the last advises from Canada still more
current reflections upon annexation, &c., and rather
painful statements of the depression in trade. The
Canadian Independent informs us that upwards of 50
respectable workmen had just left Quebec for the
Western States. A steady emigration of French
Canadians towards these happy regions has been taking
place every summer for the last three or four years.
The Canadian Independent suggests that a public
meeting should be held to inquire into the causes of the
present depressed condition of the colony, and to
recommend a remedy. "We believe," writes the editor
of the Quebec Gazette, "the French Canadian would
readily adopt the hint, end declare in favour of inde-
pendence or annexation, if any other Ministry were in
power than the present.
" The main article with which we could supply the
States in case of annexation is timber, and it will be
through this consideration alone that America will con-
sent to afford us reciprocity if she does ever consent.
This year alone, up to the beginning of July, upwards of
one million feet of timber were shipped to the States
from Canada, and in all probability certain branches of
the trade, such as deals, will, we believe, ultimately trust
to the United States markets alone."
Mr. Lafontaine had returned from Montreal, from his
reciprocity expedition. A telegraph notice in some of
the United States papers says that the delegates had hit
upon a scheme,:which they thought likely to attain the
object of their meeting, reciprocal free trade in raw pro.
duce with the United States. We agree with the
Montreal Herald, from which we quote, in doubting the
truth of this statement.
Accounts received this morning from Holland state
that the new Cabinet was reported to have been formed,
and to be composed as follows:—Foreigu Affairs, M.
Lightenvelt; Finance, M. Van Bosse; Colonies, M. J.
Band; Interior, M. Thorbecke. A lengthened conference
is stated to have taken place between the Minister of
Foreign Affairs and the French Ambassador, and at two
o'clock in the night of the 2d inst. the latter left the
Hague for Paris. The Funds at Amsterdam on Wed-
nesday were dull, and the Twc-and-a-Half per Cents.
