The steamship Hibernia, Captain Stone, arrived
yesterday at three o'clock in the morning. The in

France is in very alarming state Of agtation--the
Red Republicans are becoming holder and more dar-
inc Austria Is convulsed with civil war of the most
embttered kind. Naples and Sicily are at war, and
the cities of the last bombarded and wasted. The
Carlists are threatening civil war in Spain, and tile
populace are turbulent in Berlin.
In England there is an entire dearth Of domestic
and local politics.
The weather during the week had been unsettled.
During the early part good deal of rain had fallen;
but a variation of the wind had brought about com

In Scotland the potato crop is still reported good,
whilst that of Ireland is immensely short the oat crop
is however good The large supplies which are flow
inc in from the Baltic and other ports, tend eecu0ly
to keep down prices.
The state of trade and commerce is reported to have
been very Quiet during the week. Cotton, though
very low al previous advces, had undergone another
decline of e-eghth of penny per pound, and a
general dulness prevails at that, in all descrip
tons.

of a venerable ancestry

Seventh day of December next to be observed through
out this State as n day of Public Thanksgiuing and
Praise 10 .Andghy God.
do earnestly recommend to the people of this State
10 abstain that day from all unnecessary labor and

Especially is it meet to offer praise unto God for His
benlgnant smiles upon our State and Nation, in tie
protecting of our civil and religious Institutions in the
return of peace IN the general prevalence of law and
order in the hopeful stability of government
while the thrones of the Old World are rapidly crum-
bling into dust
Particularly is it fit to Give thanks unto the Lore for
the grant of an abundant harvcst-for the health and
vigor and happiness of the people of this commor-
wealth. the signal prosperity that has attended their
labors in all the varoHs pursuits in which they have
been engaged-lor new educational and commercial

Above ALL let the people praise the Lord for the be-
nign influences of "ho glorious Gospel of the blessed
God" upon our free institutions, which have tboir
strength aud security only in its light and power.
Let us accompany praise with hearty confession of
manifold sins humby seeking forgiveness through
Lord Jesus Christ, and imploring the Divine aid to
strengthen US unto the faithful keeping of His com
mandments and the turning of our feet into his test
monies.
While we joyluy recount blessings bestowed, let
us, with the heart commit ourselves, our children, our
country, all interests most precious for this life and
that to 1me unto the God of our fathers that under
His fave we may be a people exalted in righteous
ness, seeking peace and rejoicing in it, loving mercy
and doing justice thankful for the past, trustfu for
the future, relying always solely on the Lord whose
