The news from Querataro continues to he
without much interest. 1t was expected there
would be quorum present yesterday or to-day
and that there would Immediately be a premi-

from Queralaro all speak Of there being hut
very slight opposition to a ratification OF the
Treaty-thoughI have not seen anything yet
which induces me to change my opinion as to
the mode of action by the Congress--that is:
that they will throw the responsibility of action
on the Government.

The past week has been of considerable excite

its effect upon financial affairs. few days previous

unfavorable, and many evidently disappointed.
1t expected that the revolution in Ireland would
have been in successful progress at the departure Of
the Cambria instead of which, a small fight
with few constables, all that had taken place
mp to that time. 1t is inn ossibe to tell the actual
state Of things in Ireland at the last dates as
our sources Of information principally English
and, of course, much preudicsd 1t would appear by
these accounts, that the revolution going back
wards; that the prospect of general rising of the
people was becoming less every day. and that the
rest OF the leaders would put end to the whole
movement; but such is not our opinion, cannot
believe that such an extended, such important

such determined movement, be crushed so easily
Whatever may be the intentions of the leaders the
people are honest and, l. properly led will obtain re-
dress for the many wrongs heaped upon them. There
evidently some controlling influence at work upon
the Masses whether for good or for evil remains to be
seen. That influence was exerted successfully at
Balngarry, and, We have doubt, at many other
places 1t may be that it is not considered time yet
for the general rally and the people have been pre-
vailed upon by those in whom they have confidence,
to wait patiently the appointed PERIOD but they
