| From the .NetU York Commercial ,ldrerLtser
PEACE OR WAR.-The readers of this paper
\ nave noticed, we presume, that from the com
mencement OF the late and still existing discus
sions between France, and England-the latter
acting, apparently, as the mouIh-Diece also of
RUSSIA, Austria and Prussia-the opinion has
| been confld ntly expressed that the q Eastern
question" would be finally settled without a
general war, or war between France and En-
gland. Perhaps they may wish to know how
we think the question will he settlel, and upon
what reasonings we found this, our opinion.
As to the first we have supposed, from the be-
ginning, that the Pacha would be compelled to
give up Syria, while Egypt would be confirmed
to him in perpetuity. 1t will be remembered that
originally the proposition was to give him
Egypt in perpetuity and Syria for life The adj
vantages oil that proposition he lost by not ac-
cepting it within the time Limited After that
time he was allowed certain number of DAYS
within which to accept Egypt in perpetuity alone
but it is TO be observed that third alternative
was proposed, IN case OF his not accepting this
second within the time. His refusal was to be
followed by coercive measures-but to what
end? Not, we understand it, to destroy him
altvg ether, but TO compel his acceptance Of that
second and final proposition--to wit, the uncon-
trolled possession of Egypt, with the abandon
ment of his pretensions TO Syria.
At the last moment he accepted this PROPOSE
ZION, out at same made an appeal to the
Sultan, the nature of which is not precisely I'M
dcrstood. In it he asked permission to retain
Syria for life, according to the tenor of the first
proposal. In reply to this appeal, the Sultan
Illuminated against him an edict OF deposition.
Whether there was was not anything in his
appeal to Justify such harsh measure, nobody
seems to know; but at all events the deposition
seems not to have been expected or approved by
the four powers. We presume, therefore, that
it viii not BE- enforced, and that Mehemet Ali
will be permitted to remain Pacha of Egypt,
with remainder to his children. If there is war
at all between him and the allies, 1t will be,
first, to drive him out of Syria-second, to repel
or prevent any aggression by him against the
Sultan or his dominions.
But will France consent to this arrangement?
M. Theirs expressly says that
she will--that her action will be limited to the
rescue of Mehemet Ali, and his maintenance in
the rule Of Egypt She insists upon the itegri-
ty of both Egypt and Turkey, and if this is re-
spected for both, she will not oppose the action
Of the allies as regards Syria.
But great stress is laid upon the wsrlike pro-
pensities of the French natien, ard their eager de-
sire to avenge upon England the disasters they
sustained before and in the downfall of Napoleon.
Doubtless there is something in this; but after
all the French are enlightened people, and

SINGULAR PHENoMENoN.-. On Saturday the
10th ult., little before O'Clock, P. M. a flash
OF light, resembling lightning, succeeded in
quick succession by two reports like those of
heavy cannonades were experienced in this
town. ltappeared TO us 10 originate in the north
east and to die away after rumblng for the space
OF erhaps two minutes, IN the southwest. We
at once were of the opinion that tit was an earth
quake. We are informed that some houses in
town trembed violently Nothing having been
said about this circumstance by the inhabitants
of the town, we RETAINED from noticing it at
the time, supposing in might possibly have been
a sudden report of thunder However. we
have since heard that it was felt as Yarller's
Mills'in Loughborough, and in different parts
of the District. The reader will perceive BY
the following communication from agentleman
IN Picton Prince Edwards District, that that
District was visited by this singular phenome
non at the same time:
Saturday evening, the 10th inst about 8 o.
clock, flash ofIight like ti:at of lightning. and
report Immediately AFTER like that Of two
cahnons IN succession, were seen and heard all
over this District, and the earth trembled ex
ceedingly. The buildings about the Stone Mills,
and within several miles Of that place were
shaken so violently that it was feared thew
would fall. 1t is believed that the explosion
took place about mile south of the Stone
Mills, in Marysburg, on lot of Mr.. Reynolds,
IN the second concession. Mr.. r. says be saw
the flash, and heard the report, and felt the
ground shaken; he also says, that about two or
three years since when he Uas CLEARING &, e;da
hill on his farm, an explosion took place which
threw ottseveral rods square of earth and stone,
ana that he frequently sees flashes about that
place. lie cannot find the spot where this last
explosion took place 1t was likewise felt at
me Carrying Place. Mr.. r. also says that when
he was clearing the said hill it was with diff
Guilty ne could get person to help him log IT,
on account ofthe frequent flashes oflight which
were seen there. The people became supersti.

domestic exchanges are as follows:

The London Bankers Circular, in reference to this
years harvest says, g We thoroughly convinc
ed thatwe have oursef uuder estimated the probable
supply ofcon from the harvest; and that all kinds of
white will fall more than fifteen per cent from the
average quotations Of the previous six ra0nts. Under
smch circumstances there can be no drain of gold and
silver for the Purchase of foreign after the present
infowing tide has spent its force The speculation is
no doubt, embarrassing to the Bank, well as being in
furious TO those engaged in it. We must briefly refer
10 some old circumstances which have induced us
raise our estimate of the supply from this years har
vest because any Thing calculated TO dissipate appre
henson concerning the trade Of great importance
seeing its bearing on the foreign exchanges We have
received letters this morning from Scotland and the
North of England, which say that than hafof
the cOrn throughout that part of the kingdom has been
secured in petty fair condition. that very little injury
has been done by the wet weather. that the crops
tie whole will be equal TO full average supply-one
letter from well informed quarter says above an ave-
rage, and that prices must consequently be lower.
We have also assumed the supply from the extreme
Western counties Of England-al lying beyond Wilt
shire-much lower than the yield now that it is beeo-
ming better psceralned, would instfy These counties
will furnish more than average quantity; and, taking
all the three kinds of white into account, the sup
ply will be in of that derived from the harvest of
1889, by than twenty per in measurement
and the quality incomparably superior 10 it.

INCREASE or PoPULATIoN.-Inth the last ten
years the increase of population in Cincinnati
has been 50 per cent, in Boston So per cent, and
in Baltimore, % per cent. The population of
Charleston has actually diminished. These
facts indicate, by comparison, the rapid growth
of the West and its increasing power and in
fuence in the Union. In twenty years from
this, tBe Cincinnati Chronicle supposes that
Cincinnati viii contain a larger number of
people than Baltimore. This calculation is
based upon the fact, that each of the cities has
increased 10000. Taking this fact alone, and
the Chronicle argues from good premises, but
when our rail road finds its way across the
mountains, and we have had time TO feel the
benefits which must necessarily spring from
our intersection Of the great chain of Pennsy-
vania internal Improvements, by our Tide Wa
ter Canal, Baltimore will feel an impulse that
must cause her to advance in wealth and pop
ulation with great rapidity. Our position is
! certainly the best in the Union; and our nat
uTal advantages must and will become, in a
very few years, fully developed.

BANKRUPTCIES IN ENGLAND AND
WALES

We learn from an official statement that the
total number of bankruptcies in England and
Wales in the last year was S,06S, being an ex-
ce over the previous year of 240. or these,
there were connected with manufactures, 22S;
with agriculture, 1O5; and of other classes, 755.
OF the former, there were connected with the
Gotten trade, 81; woollen, %; silk, S; and linen,
4; iron ware, 10; building trades, AZ; and mis-
cellaneous manufactures, 64 Connected with
agriculture, there were farmers, Al corn, hay,
and hop dealers and millers, % cattle and wool
dealers, II alers in coaches and horses, and
- brewers, maltsters, and distillers. Ofmiscel-
Ianeous trades there were ia innkeepers and
victuallers l72 merchants, bankers, warehouse
men, agents and wholesale dealers; 42l shoIkee-
pers, tradesmen, and retail dealers; and 43 not
included in any of the above. The greatest
number OF bankruptcies, or 259, occurred in
Middlcsex; and the next, or 246, in Lancashire.
In Rutlandshire there were none, and there was
