MEssRs. EDIroRs: find, in the National
lntelllgencer of yesterday, a communication
proposing that the National Fair be closed
with 'grand National Ball." The writer
says the floor of the building erected for the
occasion measures 10000 square feet, and
will accommodate $50 cotillions, giving some
2oo square feet to each and that thus 1900
persons May be seen dancing at once--a sight
as he says, never surpassed in this, or per-
haps any other country.n
Such sight would be indeed beautiful and
perhaps, OF its kind, never surpassed but. in
asmuch as the importance or desirableness Of
such an exhibition has not been fully shewn
and as such use of the room would be at
variance with the feelings of many Of our most
respectable citizens, we are inclined to think
that some other plan might be adopted for oc-
cupyng the room, in which more of the com
munity could participate.
Suppose the use of the hall be rendered to
our friend J. B. GouGH to deliver lecture on
Temperance! Mr.. Cough has rarely, if ever,
succeeded Ia obtaining room large enough to
accommodate the crowds that attend his lee
lures; and could this room be obtained, it
would afford many an opportunity of hearing
him who may otherwise be deprived of that
privilege The $4,000 square feet Of floor
would accommodate $500 persons, allowing 4
square feet to person far greater number
than could be admitted to the proposed ball.
On the relative Importance of the two objects
it is needless TO comment NJ d.

NEWS BY THE
GREAT WESTERN.
Sepen days later from Europe

Sepen days later from Europe
The latest dates from the United States were
received by way of Havre. The English pa
pers copy the speech of John c. Calhoun,
which arrived at Havre by the packet ship
Oneida
There was considerable business doing in
cotton at fair prices.
The ministry wish to connect the corn bill
and the coercion bill, and carry them through
together by sort of log-rolling movement
The probability is that the whole will fall
through, and the ministry will probably break
up. This will, probably, lead to difficulties
with this country.
Packet ship independence arrived out on
the 9th. Victoria hence at London on the
9th
Some cargoes of Indian corn have met ready
purchasers within the last day or two, sup
posed to be for Ireland. Some parcels of TO
reign wheat, also, have been changing hands,
for taking out of bond.
1t is understood that the title of Sir Henry
Hardinge will be Baron Penhurst, of Penhurst,
in the county of Kent.
Advices from New York to the 18th of
March have reached us via Havre The last
speech delivered in the Senate before these de-
spaches left, was that of Mr. Calhoun, on the
18th of March, who said that no more idea OF
war was entertained than that the title of the
United States to the whole of the Oregon was
clear and unquestionable. He advocated a
compromise rather than resort to arms He
objected to the unequivocal notice, and was
equally opposed to the equivocal resolution Of
the Senate. Great excitement sGll prevails on
the subject but, although, like Ancient Pistol,
Brother Jonathan pretty fierce and loud in his
cravings for war, there seems little doubt that
he will initiate his philosophy, and finally eat
his leak in silence "with what appetite he

IMPORTANT FROM THE CAPE OF Coon HOPE
Threatened Wm by the Kgfrs.-We have
received Cape of Good Hope papers to the 10th
February, inclusive, which bring important
intelligence to the effect that the Kafrs serious
ly meditated an attack upon Graham's Town
The latest information, however, received re
specting the Ka6r movements, would seem tc
indicate that the contemplated attack was with
out foundation.
The Irish people were discovering that they
could work longer and better, and were alto
gether in better condition, by the use of meal
the produce OF Indian corn, than by the use o
that walery food, potatoes.

COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS.

Since we last addressed our readers com
mercial affairs wear an improved aspect
Affairs are still sufficiently bad but, compar-
atiyely speaking, not so much as they were
week ago-The decision OF Pariment re-
specting the pending railway bills will speed
ily bring into circulation large quantities of
capital, that have been Withdrawn from the
ordinary channels of trade.
The tariff. like Mahomets coffin, is sus-
pended in mid air, between the higher and the
powers but, pending its fate, more advantage
is being taken of the Treasury order for lber-
ating goods from bonds on payment of the re
duced duties During the present week the
ceipts at the Custom House have been large
a tolerable proof that the commercial world
think the tariff will ultimately find its way to
the statute book.
There has been somewhat serious failure
this week in Liverpool, and rumors touching
the stability of other firms abound. The firm
in question, Messrs. Carne and Telo, are ex.
tensive merchants in the Russian trade. Their
liabilities are said to exceed half million OF
dollars. One of the Joint stock banks which
suffered seriously by large failure some six
weeks ago, are the unlucky creditors OF the
house to considerable amount
of the facilities which the treasury order al
fords. Considerable supplies OF beef and pro
visions have been released from bond under
the low duties, and are flndlng their way INTO
general consumption.
In various parts of the country large num-
bers of operatives have struck tor an advance
of wages. The masters and the men are thus
at loeoerheads. Neither will give way, and
the retail trade in many branches has been Sc
riousy injured by the capital thus withdrawn
from the usual channels OF circulation. But
this evil cannot, in the nature oil thlags, be
enduring.
Amid the gloom which continues TO hang
over commerce, an exception IS found IN the
wood trade, which IS more than usually ac-
tive, produced principally by the reduction OF
the duties on those descriptions OF wood that
enter into the composition OF arucles OF 40.
mestic furniture. The importation OF WOOD OF
this kind from Africa, Central America and
| elsewhere, at the London docks recently, mas
been large, as also has been the consumption
While the walls OF Parliament ring win me
| distress of Ireland, and the Tears oil iamlne In
| that country are constantly presented 10 me
| eyes of British statesmen, II is an uhuouo'eu
fact that the receipts OF butter, oeei, nour' anu
| provisions, the produce oil the sister hnSooul'
IN the Thames and MerSey, IS greeier 'nan at
any former period. But the exports rom IRE
land establish two iacts--lhe extreme leru'iy
of the soil and the destitutlon ol the populace
The poor farmer. in order to pay his rent, is
obliged TO send his produce TO market, ana 'he
factor 10 whom he sends II immediately tran
ships il to England, where money IS more
abundant, and where the produce will com
mand better price. The law Of supply and
demand is realized in the fact, but It involve
a melancholy commentary on the social sta
