The WEATHER.-The weather was very
cold in his city the whole Of yesterday, the
thermometer being down to 26. OF course
the navigation o! the Erie and Champlain ca
nails is closed, with little prospect of their
opening this year. 1t will be seen by the
annexed article from the Albany Journal that
large quantities of merchandise are frozen in,
and will not reach their destination this sea-
son. The boats that arrived this morning
from Albany had some difficulty IN getting
through the ice, and it is very doubtful,
whether the boats that leave this afternoon
will be able to 90 farther than Hudson.
a letter from Hartford, dated Saturday,
says the Connecticut river was then full of
ice.
FLOUR EMBARGo.-The Albany Journal
OF Saturday evening. says, the sudden change
of weather which so Unexpectedly closed the
Erie canal, has shut out from thirty to 70 iy
thousand barrels of -four. which had actually
been shipped for New York. The various
transportation lines have each from to 10
boats LOADED with -four frozen into the ca
nal. There is alsoa large quantity of mer.
rhandlze frozen in. Several lake boats, with
merchandise, lie in onr basin. We under
stand that there are about $50 boats frozen
in near the Franklin lock. IL miles east of

sufficient to obtain the desired information.-
As 1t has not been done in this case, we must

why else is it that we find in its columns from

towards France? 1t is said that on the 10Th
Of September dispatches left this Port for our
Charge in Paris, directing him 10 make a for

its not being paid Internationally, to return
at once to the United States. Ifthis be So,
we may hourly look for his arrival here, and
the following from the Globe Of Tuesday,
may be intended to prepare the public for
such an event. At all events, such language
from the Official paper is highly censurable,
as calculated to irrtate France and prevent
the payment of the Indemnity.

The Boston Mercantile Journal says, awe

been lately received by a gentleman in New
York, from General Bernard ut Paris, stating,
that in his opinion, war with France is inevi-

umbrage at some sentiments expressed by
Mr.. Livingston, in his speech at the public
dinner given him in N. York; and Louis

The first session Of the Twenty fourth

Mississippi Election. n.-The Southern .4rgus
of the 9th instant, n paper published at CO.
lumbus in that State, contains the following
encouraging account:
"Well, the elections in Mississippi are over
and we have an opportunity of taking breath
from one of the hottest contested political
struggles that we have ever Witnessed in any
country. But it has been more Il struggle for
men than it has for measures or principles
The friends Of Van A9en have left no art
untried to secure their point. Runnels was
their candidate for Governor. The prejudic-
es of the people have been appealed to in fa-
vor Of Jackson, and the friends of White have
not only to contend against the strength Of
their enemies, but have had to encounter the
popularity of the Hero of New Orleans. In
the northern parts of the State, Rnnnels has
been represented as almost an exclusive ad-
vocate for the interest of the north, while the
ignorant part Of the community have been in
duced to believe that Mr.. Lynch was opposed
to their dearest rights. In this way, many Of
the friends of White have been induced to
support the election of Runnels in preference
To the peoples candidate. Every thing con-
sldercd, Runnels has not made better run
in the northern counties than was anticipated.
We have every confidence in the belief
that Runncls has been defeated, and that
Lynch will be our next Governor; but should
II turn ont otherwise, il canno, be taken as a
Van Buren, triumph: for in the northern coun-
ties i, is well known that great many of the
friends Of Judge White voted for Gov. Run.
nels on account of local prejudices. But we
believe that almost every Van Buren man in
the State voted for Governor Runnels.
For merbers of Congress we are not so
sanguine-yet we believe Gen. Dickson will
be elected, and have great hopes Of the sue
cess Of Mr.. Wilkins"

Senator Poindexter be reelected, but we

IMPORTANT SURGICAL OPERATIoN.-N

IMPORTANT SURGICAL OPERATION.-We
have always understood, that, when once
wafer has accumulated in the brain, the case
is generally considered fatal. ev, by the
most of medical men; but few have ever at.
tempted to remove the fluid by an operation
hence patients Iabnring under this dreadful
disease, are generally left to drag out mis-
cradle existence, until the soothing hand of
death puts an end to their sufferings.
Doctors Bayard and Livingstone were
called to attend child Of four months old,
who was laboring under this dangerous dis
ease--the head was much enlarged from the
accumulation Of water; they therefore in place
of leaving the sufferer to certain death, de-
tcrmined on giving it the only chance that
Science con afford by drawing off the ef-
fused fluid. The operation was accordingly
performed on the 9Th inst. when upwards ofa
pint of limpld water was discharged from the
chi!l's brain.
1t is now ten days since the operation, and
the child Is doing well, even beyond their
most sanguine eXpectaiions-in fact we un-
derstand, 1t seems IN every respect in good
health-the countcnance is fast resuming u
natural appearance, for before the op ration,
the eyes and features were much distorted in
consequence OF the pressure occhsioned by
the water on the brain. We most sincerely
hope that the case may ultimately prove sue
cessiul, both for the sake of the child and its
parents; and also for the credit Of the enter
prising operators.-W Whatever may be the ul-
innate result Of the case, it ought to BE- pub
lished in some popular Medical Journal. for if
we mistake not, it is the only case Of the kind
that ever has been operated on in any Of
these Provinces.-.St. John ~. b. Gazette.
