 line, Capt Lieut.. Edward c.

 The Prospects of e European WGr By the Acadia we have files of the London papers up to the evening of the 2d, and Liverpool to the 4th inst. The prospects of a war between France and the European powers seemed threatening up to the last moment, although a little less so than few days before. The London Sun of the evening of the Sd, our la test London date, states that the Paris journal of the preceding Friday and Saturday were on the whole less warlike in their leading arr tcles than they had been for the last two days, although they still declared that unless the treaty of the four Powers be modified, there must be an appeal to arms.
 | The treaty which has been concluded be- tween England, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, which has given umbrage to the French go- vernment, and which promises to disturb the I present peaceful condition of Europe, is to the following effect: To erect Syria into an ihdrnen1.Go::.: power. To settle at once the difficulties between Turkey and Egypt, by cedng to Mchemet Ali the hereditary sove- reignty of the latter country, as well as the Pachalc of St. Jean d'Acrc. !: ."oiIemet Ali did not, ii teh days, come in to these l terms, he was to be restricted to Egypt, and would be coerced into submission by the al- lied Powers.
 In taking the determination to confine Me- hemit to Egypt and the southern portion of Syria, the four Powers do nothing contrary to the interests of France-they do nothing more than what France herself promised to do when she joined the conference after the Sultan's death. Had France then declared herself the uncompromising supporter of Me- hemet Ali, the other Powers might have ta- ken a different course.
 The London Globe (MnisteriaD thus sums up the object of the English in acceding to this treaty.
 Ut seems clear that thus erecting Syria i !"'o an independent fowcr wou!u '...::ccye 1 Turkey from ttne pressure that is rapidly bearing her into Russian subjection.
 Besides, this creation of a new empire in the very midst of Egypt, Turkey, Persia, Sc would create check upon and balance of power among all.
 1 There would also be a formidable barrier to the ambition of Russia raised up. Moreover, the implantng of European in- stitutions in Asia Gas far as they might be ] adaptable) would follow: and in all proba- blity would follow the acquisition to Eng eventually become all important ill relation ! to Eastern atfairs."
 EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL.-CEIM coN.-Ddm- ages Eight Thousand Pootnds.-The action of HeaviSide against Dr. Lardner, came on at Lewis, in the County of Sussex, England, the first week in August. It appears i'll ev- ! idence, that the defendant, an accomplish 1 cd and elegant man, of great literary at- tainments, had employed all the powers of his mind to accomplish tho seduction of Mrs. Heavisidc, who was the daughter of Col Spiccr, of the Lanccrs Mrs. Hcaviside had three children, two girls and a boy.- The eldest girl was 14 years of age, the scc- ond 13 and the boy 6. The guilty parties, l it appeared, eloped from Dr. Lardner's house, and proceeded to Ostcnd, Dunkirk, and were finally discovered living in Paris as man and wife. The Plaintiff followed | them, found them in Boulognc at breakfast 1 togcther-and took occasion to inflict a se- were personal reinstatement upon the Doc tor. Many letters were found, completely satisfying the minds of all the parties, that the illicit intercourse had been brought about by the art of Dr. rardner, and tho Ju- ry rendered verdict of eight thousand pounds, for the plaintiff It appears that Dr. Lard ner, and Mrs. Hcaviside, were still living to- gethcr, as man and wife, in France. An Apt IUusiraiion.-A western farmer has just related to us the following facts:
 Four years ago, re uorrvwS,;!! cfn friend in the eastern part of this state, one thousand dollars to improve new and large wheat farm in Michigan. His farm, before clear from an incumbrance, was mortgaged to SC. cure the payment of the money borrowed to make it productive, and after the expendi. ture of the 5000 and good deal of hard la- bor, in making the neediul improvements, it was thought to be we'll worth $4OOO. For the first two years 35 bushels of wheat annu- ally paid the interest. Then it took 70 bushels, and this year it cost him l6O bushels to pay $7O interest, and the principal has become due. At the present prices of agri- cultural products in the interior of Michigan, the cultivators of the soil cannot realise enough from their crops to cover the first cost of production, consequently they get no profit on their laborous business. Hence no .,.v..,.. a ... .sc "Shcs to ;s. . n,s co,i,al in improved farms. The person who loaned the $l0UG wants it for other purposes, and the unfortunate borrower is in fair way 10 lose the savings of the whole life of honest industry Bu6alo Com. Ado.
 Time of taking up Bees.-Most persons who keep bees neglect to take them up in season. This business is not generally done till Sep- tember, about two months after the bees have ceased to collect as much honey as they eat.
 We have found by weighing hives that they usually grew lighter after the middle of U.,l, r. 4
