AS so many inexperienced wanir-hearted
young patriots are 80 hot for war, il would be
well to inform these gentlemen, "ezperieatia
docet." that the same causes produce similar
effects, aud that third war with England
would produce the same effects ,hr war Of
1912. Aud now lei US see what some OF the
effects will probably be.
Ist. The seizure Of our merchant vessels in
al quarters ct the world, aud imprisonment of
the officers and crew. Censrquence--the
failure of cur merchants by scores, as in 1913,
and thu des,rHctun Of all foreign trade
"a. The suspension II specie payments at
NIL the banks. ConseQuence--intlalion Of the
currency at time wneA laborers are out Of
middle classes, and driving them, nolcns polcns,
INTO the army or navy Tor bread
81. The blockade of our ports as in 1918
and 1914. Conseqnence-no outlet for our
produce, which VIII remain in the hands Of
our farmers, or be disposed Of at starving
prices Zoe worthless paper money.
4sh. Suspension OF all commerce. Conse-
quences--cartmen. riggers, steveJors, poriers,
and clerks, by hundreds out al the elbows, aud
IN extreme pJverty, IN common with all who
lived on the profits Of commerce.
5th. II will break up the occupation Of thou
sauds, convert many industrious mechanics
iutv soldiers, others INTO loafers and dunkards
and send hundreds OF griewng wives TO an
early grave; To say R0thing of the thousands Of
widows aud orphans made so by war, and
driven to poverty. ).
9Th Thousands now at school, receiving
moral education, must be suddenly deprived of
instruction. and be eyer after afflicted with the
evils that the want of early cultivation OF the
mind always entails.
9TH. Thousands who look for long life may
suddenly find their graves far from home; and
thousands wounded may hobble through life
WITHOUT the sympathy ard possibly the respect
ot those by whom they are surroundcA, and for
whom they have sacrificed their isstss such
things have been, and may be again.
Six years may result in a general bankrupt
cy; breaking up Of families; PaangMg in the
deepest poverty lhose who have always been
enjoying the comforts and luxuries otiie, and,
consequently, least prepared to endure misfor-
tune with patience.
" these things occur, which God forbid, we
shall look back with astonishmen, that we have

ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA.

AVteeH luyS Lotof Jfo"s NoPo'
The steamship Acadia arrived at Boston
from Liverpool about o'clock on Friday
morning, the 10Th, bringing English papers
10 Dec. 4th, inclusive.
The grain markets were in nearly the same
state as at the date of our former advices.
Cotton had suffered further decline. Iron
also, and railway shares. The structures
upon the money market continued,
The Oregon question created a good deal
of anxiety.
The Caledonia arrived out on the LIST

SYMPTOMS OF WAR.-Within the last
few days survey has been going on, under
the direction of naval officer high in
rank, of the large mercantile steamers in
the mail service of her Majesty, with a
view to the ascertaining of their capabili.
ties for carrying guns of the largest calbre.
An arrangement has also been entered into,
in virtue of which these steamers are to
be placed at the command of Government
in the event of their being required as ves-
sells of war. These fine vessels were ex-
amincd as to their strength for carrying
guns and capabilities as war steamers, in
the event Of their services being required.
by competent persons from Woolwich
Dockyard before they left the East India
Docks at Blackwell for the conveyance of
the mails, and copies of the reports were
lodged at the Admiralty relative to them
upwards of two years ago. Indeed the
Admiralty have been for some in posses
sion of sufficient information to be able to
arm them, and the General Steam Naviga-
ton Company's and other large vessels, on
the shortest notice.
TIE CRors.--The London Shipping
Gazette, a commercial paper, sums up its
account of the crops as follows:
1--WE are far, therefore, from apprehend-
ing that degree of scarcity and distress
which some predict, but at the same time
we cannot for moment fatter ourselves
that prices of grain will. during the ensu-
ing year, be anything like so moderate as
they have been since 1912; on the contrary,
we expect some rise on present rates, par
licularly as regards bread stuffs."

THE OREaoN QuEsTIoN.-The news
from the Western shores of the Atlantic,
recently, has excited more than ordinary
interest. The Great Western, on her last
trip, brought home document which crea-
ted nearly as much amazement as if shell
had been unexpectedly thrown, with hostile
intent, into friendly citadel The num-
Der of the Washington Union which
claimed the uhole Of Oregon for the United
States, and repudia,ed all negotiation on
the subject, was scanned with painful feel
ings-was presumed to speak the senti-
ments of President Polk, and to foreshadow
The forthcoming Message. The effect was
such as we have described it, War and all
its odious horrors stared every one in the
face. There appeared to be no escape from
it-no loop-holc by which an honorable exit
could be made.
Writing under the influence Of this ex-
cited feeling, the Caledonia arrived on Fri.
day, with intelligence week in advance
