will send his money over to America to buy paper
certain to be repudiated is out of the question. The
only chance is a good sale for the heavy stocks of
food on hand and for those now coming on. Some
thirty millions of English gold might seasonably
light up the fires anew, and give an impetus to the
flagging resentments of the Northern States, as well
as to the commerce of the Atlantic cities. Sunshine
—a few days of this baking sunshine—will relieve
us from the necessity of paying this tribute, and
will enable us to eat our own bread and keep our
own money. The prospects tempt us to be hopeful.
The experienced folk who gather in Mark-lane are
evidently sanguine. The French, as our trade report
of yesterday's dealing tells, have ceased to press
upon our stocks, and have, therefore, as we may
hope, better reliance upon their own. We ourselves
have ceased to buy up at full prices the remnant of
our bad harvest of last year. The foreign wheats
are being brought forward in anticipation of down-
ward markets. " American flour was less in demand,
and town prices were looking down." It is not a
state of things for a song of triumph or a cry of
safety, but it is a state of things for sanguine hope.
If France should be only a little short, and if Eng-
land should have an average crop, there will be
good chance of peace in Europe for the twelvemonths
yet to come. Occupied time and full bellies will keep
the world from quarrelling. But the Heave.ns—even
the material Heavens—have more to do with it
than the passions or the machinations of men'
There is more war in a day's rain than in an Br.n.
peror's most ambitious project, and more peace in
a morning's sunshine than even in a treaty of com-

ARREST OF THE PRETENDED BEY;

MR. SPUR.9EON AT CORK.

A young man was brought up at the Police-office, Cork,
on Friday, charged with having, by the assumption of the,
Rev. Mr. Spurgeon's name, imposed on several hotel-
keepers and others in Limerick and Cork. Prisoner ap-
peared to be about 28 years of age. He observed a grave
demeanour, and was dressed in black cloth clothes of a
clerical cut. The proceedings of the prisoner in Limerick
we have already described. It appears the prisoner arrived
in Cork on Wednesday, and took up his residence at the
Imperial Hotel, entering his name on the arrival-list as
the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon. After partaking of some refresh'
ment at the bar, he entered the smoking-room and called
for a cigar, which was duly given him. The waiter asked
for payment, Mr. Spurgeon, after searching his pockets,
said that his change was in hisbox, which had been already
conveyed to a sleeping apartment. He went up stairs for
the purpose of getting what money he required from it,
but he never returned to the smoking-room, and con-
trived to leave the hotel unperceived. Before leaving the
Imperial he wrote a letter to Mr. Richard Burke, lessee of
the Theatre Royal, George-street, requesting a visit from
that gentleman. Mr. Burke paid that visit. The prisoner
introduced himself as the Rev. Win. Spurgeon, and told
Mr. Burke that ho was anxious to deliver a discourse to the
young men of Cork in the theatre. After some conversa-
tion Mr. Burke consented to give the rev, gentleman the
use of the theatre, stipulating, however, that he should not
preach against the drama. Mr. Spurgeon assured Mr.
Burke that he should not—that he was an admirer of the
drama, and would advise the young men to encourage it.
On Thursday night Head-constable Roe went to Neehan's
hotel at 11 o'clock, dressed in private clothes, and inquired
of Mr. Neehan if the Rev, Mr. Spurgeon was staying
there. Mr. Neehan said that the rev. gentleman was in
the hotel, but on the head-constable saying that he desired
an interview with him, he appeared most unwilling to dis-
turb him, as Mr. Spurgeon was then in his room, studying
for the sermon. The head-constable, however, was most
importunate, and was finally introduced into Mr. Spur-
geon's sanctum, when the following dialogue took place
between them :—" I presume you are the Rev, Mr. Spur-
geon?" Mr. Spurgeon (rising from his studies)—" Yes,
sir; pray be seated." "I am most happy to find that the
Rev. Mr. Spurgeon has visited Cork, and he intends to
preach to us." " Yes, such is my intention, but lam not
the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon—l am his brother." The head'
constable then announced his profession and business, and
cautioned the prisoner to make no statement that might
commit him. He then took up the book over which Mr.
Spurgeon had been poring, and found that it was a Bible.
Roe then asked the hotelkeeper to show him the prisoner's
luggage. He said it was but little, and these were its con-
tents. (The constable produced a small canvas bag, al)1
took out of it half a dozen white neckerchiefs, a Church of
England Prayer-book, a child's copy-book containing
headings for his sermon, and a" Complete Letter Writer.")
His box was here produced and opened. Its contents con-
sisted of a quantity of grass and weeds, and a large ate"
most carefully wrapped in paper.
The prisoner was then remanded.
