The following condensed statement, in relation
10 the crops aud financial condition of England,
is all we can furnish our readers, Of the news,
not, generally, important, by the British Queen
" The news brought does not appear 10 satisfy any
body. Upon the whole, it is Of a favorable charac-
ter, The crops are now positively ascertained to
be much more abundant than had been anticipated,
and in consequence, and IA a proof thereof, the
ports are at last closed to foreign grain, and the
drain Of bullion arrested. On this improved basis,
every other department OF ommerce necessarily as
sumes a more cheering aspect, and greater activity
Cotton has slightly improved, and the money mar
ket is easier."

FiRE-On Friday night, 22d lltimo. about 10
O'Clock, a hire broke out, in the stable of AIR. John
Stephenson, in this town. and for a time, threaten
I'D TO extend It's ravages to a large portion of the
most valuable part Of the Town. The stable was
situated in the rear Of MIR SIS dwelling, and was
separated, only bv a street, from the large stables
belonging TO the Valley Hotel. 1t was filed with
hay and Other combustibles, the whole of which
was in a short time consumed, together with a corn
house, csrriage'house, &C., attached and about
t~hirty-hye barrels of corn. The carriage, horses,
and cows were saved-but the latter not without
being severely scorched, 1t required no little exer-
lion TO keep the FIRE from spreading to the adjacent
buildings. The night was calm and cold, and the
citizens prompt in their attendanoe-to which cir.

The FUTURE.

NJ. De TocQuEvlLLF, in his late work on this
country, entitled Democracy in America whilst
speaking of the East ard the West, has the follow
ing remarkable words:
"There are, at the present time, two great ma
tions in the world, which seem TO tend towards
the same end, although they started from different
points. | allude to the Russians and Americans.
Both of them have grown up unnoticed; and while
the attention of mankind was directed elsewhere,
thew have suddenly assumed a most prominent
place among the nations; and the world learned
their existence and their greatness at almost the
same time.
GAN other nations seem TO have nearly reached
heir natural limits, and only to be cLarged with the
maintenance of their power, but these are still IN
the act Of growth; all the Others are stopped, or
continue TO advance with extreme difficulty these
are proceeding with ease and CELEBRITY along a path
to which the human eye can assign no term. The
American struggles against the natural obstacles
which oppose him; the adversailes ofthe Russian
are men the former combats the wilderness and
savage life; the latter, civilization. with all ITS
weapons and its arts; the conquests of The one are,
therefore. gained by the ploughshare; those OF the
other by the sword. The Anglor American relies
upon personal interest to accomplish his ends, and
gives free scope to the u~nguided eXertions and com
mon sense Of the citizens the Russian centres all
the autt orty Of society in a single arm; the prince
pal instrument Of the former is freedom-oft the lat
ter, servitude. The starting point is different, and
their course is not the same yet each OF them
seems TO be marked out by the will of Heaven to
sway the desiinies of half the globe"

COM M u NICATIO N.

The following description of a visit to the Falls
of Niagara, is an extract of letter from young
practitioner Of medicine, at Oak Hill, N. Y, to
a member of our Association, who has kindly
handed it to us, i'll the form of communication.
During my travels, had the pleasure of visi-
ting some of our greatest curiosities. took a
line boat the Erie canal as far as Lockport, and
then took the cars to Niagara Falls and here per-
NIT me to wander little, to describe to you my
visit to this place. 1t was on the morning of the
18th of June that made my first visit to this scene
OF formidable, yet unsurpassed cataract, in point
OF grandeur; and displaying, as it really does,
one of the mightest natural productions of an
all-wise God--for nothing less than God could
form scene like this. The elements seemed to
favor my excursion, and Sol, with his bright beams
and radient form, seemed to enjoy, in part, the
sweets of fond anticipation. The air was calm
and mild, waiting from groves whose dewy leaves
shed forth their modest tears, the sound Of song
sters, sweet as those that echoed once in Eden's
bowers.
Our company consisted of some twenty males
each with his !. blushing fair onc'' by his side, in
whose bright eyes was oft displayed the glow that
filled the heart The modest laugh that echoed
from this throng " Of youth and beauty fair
told me too well the thought Of death was distant
from their view, but bent on pleasure, innocent

The CAUSE AND EFFECTS OF THE COLONIZATION
ENrERPR1sE.--We would call the attention OF
our readers to an article on our fourth page,
headedthe annual Report Of the Liberia Mission
of the M. E. Church, not to prove what is un-
deniable--the great good resulting to our own
country, and the enlightenment Of Africa--but to
show the very rapid advance in Education
and Religion among that people. This is the re-
port of but one sect. When we know that the
whole Church is working for the same results
who would withhold his countenance and support
from so philanthropic scheme!
