committing fatal ravages in England During the

EXPLOITATION OF BREADsTUFFs TO FNa-

The English Sliding Scale will be nut in opcro.

on Corn by the lat steamer large order have

Soj ana Corn at 65 rs cts. Probably these orders
nave peen given for the purpose of receiving the ar
ncle before the LIST March These prices, although
o"er thah they stood last year, sufficiently bgh
TO induce large shipments. We cannot brt hone
that the holders of BreadstufTs will accedc 10 III
Terms. Corn at So rs cts, and Flour at So are
high prices, and ought to satisfy the expectations Of
holders. The crop Of Corn this year is supposed 10
DC one-thrd larger than il has ever been-conse-
qnenty the surplus must be disposed Of in some
way before we get down TO the usual stock.
The great yield Of last Summer is still in the In.

COLD WEATHER.-We learn from the St
Johnsbury Caledonian, that Tuesday morning
the 18th instant, was exceedingly cold in that
region, and beyond the memory of the oldes,
inhabitant." The thermometers varied some.
what, according TO location. Upon the Plain,
the mercury stood at 81, and in some location.
at 400 below zero; while in the valley ut Fair
banks Village, those that did not CONCEAL and
burst, as several did, ranged as low as 42O And
as to Others, it may be remarked, that :" it would
have been colder, if the Thermometers had been
longer"
The Boston journal says the above day will
hereafter be recorded in the New England cal
endar as the "cold Tuesday" AT Bristol, N. IL.
the mercury fell to zee below zero; at Hanover
to SO at Lyme to "a; and at Franconia ii froze
so hard that it will require long spell of mod

GOVERNOR BRIGGs' ADDRESS 10 the Legs
laturc Of Massachusetts, is a brief, comprehensive
bic and sensible document
The condition Of the Commonwealth is rep
resented TO be highly encouraging and prosper
Gus, with balance Of $4,000 in the Treasury,
and ample provision for the payment Of the
whole debt Of the Commonwealth arising from
the subs ripton made 10 the Western Railroad.
The Governor says that this debt amounts to
Sl,l47 800, while the available means Of the
State to pay this debt amount 10 sl,Tl5,620;
leaving a balance in favor Of the State Of $685.
$50. The State has, also, $780, 900 acres of
Land in Maine, which it is thought will prove
quite valuable If judiciously managed
The Governor calls the attention Of the Leg
stature to the consideration Of the claims Of the
State to certain Flats in and around Boston
Harbor; and to the importance of some provis-
ion to prevent the recurrence Of fatal railroad
accidents.
The State Prison, at Charlestown, is reported
to be in most satisfactory condition, in all re-
spects. During the past year there has not been
a single death, nor 4 case Of insanity among 366
prisoners; and the earnings Of the prisoners
have exceeded all the expenses Of the prison
the salaries Of the officers included-by sI26.
q very gratifying state The accommodations Of
the Asylum have been increased, and the ex-
pense Of board slightly diminished; and the bal
ance of receipts over expenditures amounts to
S6,2l8.47.
Considerable attention is given to the Mexi-
can war, which is deeply deplored and unhesi-
tatingly condemned.
The cause Of Education is spoken of as in a
fourishing condition in the Commonwealth; and
the Normal Schools and the Secretary Of the
Board Of Education are duly praised.
The Governor urges the addition of another
Judge to the bench of the Supreme Court as
indispensable to the discharge of the onorous
duties now devolying on that Court; and closes
his address with just and feeling tribute to the
memory of that excellent man, the late Judge
Samuel Hubbard.-Bosfon Traveller.

CANADIAN MoB.-By telegraph to Albany,
we learn TINT the result of the election in Mont
real on the 18th inst, was favorable to the Lib
erals, who carried every ward in the city by a
large majority. A disgraccful scene of not and
disorder occurred, and for two days the city was
in possession Of the mob. ~
The Liberals, throughout Canada, have chosen
a decided majority of the members Of the new
Provincial Parliament.
