The grain crop is promising, the potatoes
good, and the yield more than ordinary. The
writer. are specializing whether prices will rule
higher or lower. We know not how this may
be but the prayer of every good man will be
for abundance, and cheap rates, that all may
have enough of the staff Of life.
The ELECTIONS in England were over, in the
cities and towns. The result SO far is:-Liber-
ais, ls9; Peelites, 60; Ultra Tories, IS. This
puts Lord John Russell ahead, land will give him
good working majority in the House.
But Government has met with severe and
unexpected rebuffs. Sir ]. c. HoBHoUsE, Presi-
dent of the Board of Control of Indian Affairs,
has been defeated by Mr.. WALTER, who, since
his fathers death, has become the owner of the
London Times. Mr.. MAcAULEY, Pay Master
General, was beaten at Edinburgh; Mr.. HAYES,
Under Colonial Secretary, met with like fate
at Lambeth; and Col. Fox, Surveyor General of
the Ordinance, with BuIwer, &c. &C., failed to
be elected.

fcials, was, the conduct Of Government as re-
CARDS Church and State. Yet, there were, un-

the public mind; and among them, determine

possess a larger liberty. FERGUS O'CoSNoR,
the Chartist, beat Sir J. c. HosHoUsE-RoE-
sucK had to give way to COTTON SPINNER at
Bath-and ]. w. Fox, the radical. defeated Mr..
FIEIDEs at Oldham. Then GEoRGE THonPsos,
the noted abolitionist, ran over the Government
candidate by majority of 1881! We copy, to
show the spirit Of the English people, part of
his speech, returning thanks for his election:
