some Of the Leading topics which at present agI

address. 1t is noncommlllal upon almost every
point. The leaning, howsyer,Is evidently in favor
Of modern Wing PrIuciPles,lf there IL, indeed, any
such lhing and we much fear that President Ty.

which he advocated While member Of Congress.
Time however will soon dIssipate all doubts.

new PRECEDENT will be compelled to define his posi-.

FOR THE TIMES.
HOWARD HGSTRIONlC CORPS.

Reader-have you ever visited the Howard
Histronc HallY II you have not, go and see
them are chaps PERFORM and if you come away
without having the worth Of your quarter, then
you may put me down as one who knows moth.
ing. %
On last Tuesday evening | was completely
at a loss to know what to do with myself, and
after promenading the streets for an hour or so
in search Of some company wherewith to while
away an evening pleasantly, | caught the
voice Of some one near me, asking an old croney
Of his-whether he was going to the theatre.
All! says to myself, a theatre in this village
how lucky-here can pass an hour or two very
agreeably and after making some further nqui-
res of a bystander soon learnt that there was
an association Of young men Of your town who
have formed themselves into theatrical COM
pany, for the purpose of insructing themselves,
and for the amusement Of others. Well, after
having proceeded in company with another gen.
tleman to Mrs. OwENs' Hotel, was ushered
into large room, well fitted up,-the front
seats crowded with ladies-whose smiling coun-
tenances and charming faces, soon led me to for.
get that ] was in so small place as that Of
Fayette, and it was not until some time had
passed by, that could think mine own eyes had
not deceived me. Indeed, Messrs. Editors-l
intend no nattery when l say-a handsomer set
of females never, on any occasion assembled
together would have given worlds to have
been made acquainted with them-but, pshaw
had almost forgotten myself, l am an old
bachelor and therefore they cared bet little foI
me.
But stop, l had almost forgotten to mention
the plays selected for the evenings entertainment
The first was-"PIzARRo, OR THE DEATH OF
RoLLA." The gentlemen in this piece sustained
their characters well, especially those of"P1zAR
Ro," "RoLLA," and "ELvrRA." The sacrifice
at the shrine Of the holy altar, was most excel
lent, and the deep and melodious voices which
arose from the earth, gave to the piece feeling
of solemnity for which it had been calculated
The costume, scenery, &c., far surpassed an
thing had ever previously beheld in Thespiar
Corps.
!; The second piece was the domestic dram
Of the GOLDEN FARMER" which was we'll pei
formed throughout, particularly the character
of "JEMMY Tw1rcHER" and "HARRY HAMMER.
The whole passed off much better than l e1
pected and received great applause.

THE LATE ELECTIONS--sLOCO
sYICTORIES-SMOKE. |

The great noise made by the Loco
papers over the result of the late elections
in the different States, would lead person
to believe that the wings, as a party, are
entirely used up--annihated. This is
not the case--the wings are as strong as
they ever were, and whenever an election
turns on a point sufficient to arouse them,
it will be seen, though defeated in the State
elections that have just passed. it was not
for the want of numbers, but BECAUSE of
an apathy on their part, arising from diff
ferent causes not necessary here to state.
they chose to let the elections 90 by default.
In Ohio, for instance, where the locos
succeeded at the late election, so far from
increasing their vote over what it was a
year ago, there is clear falling off of
twenty thousand: yet il is heralded forth with
a great flourish of capitals and cuts, as an
unprecedented VICTORIAN astonishing in
crease of strength in their favor A writer
in the Ohio State Journal has made a COM
pilation of the total number of votes given
at the last election, and taking the highest
vote given to each party, shows a majority
in the State in favor of the Wings of t,co
thousand and forty vOtes. The Locos gain
ed the ascendency in the Legislature by the
Wings having no regular ticket in several
counties, and losing others. on local ques-
tions--not from a decrease of their
strength.
The elections in the States this fal--in
their results--are similar to the elections
which preceded the Presidential election
in 1910. They were generally unfavora-
BILE to the wings, yet when the Presidential
election came on what was the result
The complete rout of the Locos. So it
will be again--the State elections going
against the wings will arouse them from
their lethargy and they will give their OPP
bonents a lesson similar to that of 1910.
In none of the elections that have taker
place havethe wings brought out more thar
half of their actual strength, while theil
opponents have generally mustered most o
their troops. Hence the defeat of the
wings.

Arrival Of the Great Western
and Britannia Steamships.

These vessels have arrived at their res
pective ports, bringing news 10 days later
from England.
OF new events their appears to be not
much intelligence. In reference to affairs
in China, there is no addition of moment
to the accounts received by the Narragan-
sett. In so far as relates to the State of the
markets, &c, the news is more favorable
than otherwise.
Cotton has been rather brisker, and &C
cordingly advanced trifle. The duty on
imported wheat had gone up to 22s 3d.
This is favorable sign, as fears were ap-
pretended that the Great Western would
bring unfavorable news touching the mon
ey market, in consequence of the scarcity
of grain. 1t is thoug hit that duties will de-
cline in the spring.
The British Funds have advanced-an-
other favorable sign.
Parliament has been prorouged to the
2lst December, without adopting any fur
Their measures of consequence. The ut
most excitement had prevailed throughout
England on the subject of McLeod's trial,
and two government messengers were sta
toned at Liverpool to convey to London
the intelligence which might be brought by
the Halifax steam ships; but at the latest
dates, the public mind had become evident
ly more tranquil.
Mr.. STEVENSON returned in the Great
Western.
Commercial prospects have certainly not
become worse, and it is highly probable,
that when intelligence reaches England of
the acquittal of Mcleod, a marked i'm
provement will ensue in all branches of
trade.
Official accounts from Canton had
reached London early in October to the
10th June, precisely the day to which our
own accounts extend. The dispatches OF
the British officers are entirely corrobora-
tive of the statements published here. The
withdrawal of the forces from Canton it
appears took place in opposition to the
opinion of the Commander of the troops,
and the death of Sir LIE Fleming Stenhouse
is attributed to veXation at that event. The
trade continued at Canton, without further
interruption.
As the result of the English harvest is
now fully known to be good, there is nc
alarm that England will need supplies Of
bread stuffs; consequently there can be nc
drain Of specie for that purpose The
political intelligence is of but little interest
There appears to be nothing stirring tc
affect this country.

So soon as the roads get in fit state for
our farmers to "ham in" some of their
growth, we will have them weighed and
measured and compare the result with
your statement. BY the way, our friend
Thos. G. Brown, farmer of this neigh

while our devil was out hunting a man
to come and weigh and measure it, some
