RIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA.

ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA.
rmtinued Excitement IN the Cotton
Market-Immense sales Of Cotton and
Advance IN prices.
The steamship Hibernia arrived at
Halifax on the Sd instant, having left
Liverpool OH the goth of October. She
had long and very rough passage across
the Atlantic:
The Markets.-The Cotton market
onened at Liverpool on Monday, the 10Th,
at an advance of one eighth G0d) to one
fourth Q-4O over the prices brought by
the Europa. The news from Manehes-
ter on Tuesday, gave additional firnness
TO the market, as it rendered 1t certain,
that an advance on the better descriptions
could be obtained. This information I'M
narted confidence to the. trade at Liverpool
and further advance was. realized, with
transactions in American grades at halt
penny Q-2O higher quotations than at
the rates of the previous Saturday. The
sales of cotton for the week ending on
the 18th. were 131 900 bales, OF which
$4,000 were American. Far Upland
and Mobile 6 3-S; Fair Orleans 5-0.-
London money market fiat.
Hnryr. 13M.-The week S sales were
10000 bales advance fully 9 frances over
the previous week; the imports were
about ] s, 900 bales.
Antzce1p.-Cotton is in good demand,
advanced IA to 3-S, owing 10 scarcity OF
stock. Nothing further.
Political matters of interest; horrld
scenes are being enacted in Ireland: Aus
tria still continues her ATROCITIES against
the Hungarlans.
American cured provisions have i'm
proved. Bacon had decidedly advanced,
especially the lower qualities. Pork is
steady and the rates exhibit slight de-
PRESTON
Political Intelkigence--Nothing of a
definite character has been received from
Turkey. The impression is general, that
Russia will withdraw her demand for the
Hungarian refugees. Benz, Dembinski,
and others, have apostatized and embrac-
ed Mahomeianlsm, and joined the Turk
ish army.
Theirs report on Roman affairs in the
National Assembly Of France, is decided
ly conservative.
Russia and Prussia have entered into
treaty by which they assume the control
of the central confederation of Germany,
until May next. Hungary Is scoifed at
and deriGed.
The anti-rent confederacy is extending
throughout Ireland, The crops are alb
ducted, and blood has been shed.
The Prime MiniStrr of Hungary has
been shot by tlaynau.
Parts, Oct. 10 During the debate in
the French Assembly upon Roman affairs,
a violent quarrel arose between Thiers
and Blxio. The former sent BlXlo chal-
lenge. and duel was the consequence.
They fought with pist Als. but no damage
was done. A paper states that the Rus-
sian Government has intlmated TO the
French Minister that the Gar would re-
gard the entrance of a French fleet into
the Dardaneiles as declaratlon of war
The same paper says that an order has
been given to the French fleet to join the
English squadron.

BLAcKwooD ON THE FUTURE OF CANADA.

DLACKWOOD ON THE FUTURE OF CANADA.
Among the article. in the last number of
"BIackwood's Magazine" is one, the
"C1UI ReuoIution IN Canada" which
we have read with considerable interest.
The writer. who halls from Canada West,
aud is apparently well Informed, takes
the ground that the British provinces on
this continent are III deplorable condi-
tlon; and, while he attributes all the fault
TO the negligence of England, he main
Jams that annexation to the United States
can only be avoided by according to the
colonies the privilege of imperial legisla-
uon. The poverty and imbecillty of the
Oanadas he attributes to the want of pro-
lectlon-to the fact that their people are
not permitted TO do their own manufacture
ING, but are kept down to be mere con-
sumers OF British manufactures After
expressing his doubts as to the future
policy of Eng land, and limiting his fears
that she Will be willing to dissolve her
connection with the American continent,
the writer concludes his argument with
the following desponding paragraph:
'If England has the heart to do it, it
must be doue. Three millions of people
will cease to say God save the Queen
lhe sun will set upon her empire. Full
many an honest tear will be shed at hear
ing that it must. Full many heart will
oe torn from what it would but too gladly
oie tor. But the days of chivalry are
gone; the days of memory are fled. The
selnsh' mercenary nineteenth century will
oe marked with the loss of the best jewel

By reference to Ure's Dictionary of Arts

for working argentiferous lead ores, have
been devised, by which A or. of silver to

WAKING SLEEPERs.--It appears from
Lewis's history of Linn, that IN the early
times of Massachusetts it was the custom
for man to go about the meeting houses
during divine service and wake sleepers.
He bore long wand at one end OF which
was ball and on the other was fox tail.
When he observed the men asleep he
wrapped them on the head with the knob,
and reused the slumberi1g senslbillties
of the ladies by drawing the brush slightly
across their rfaces.-Plcayulae.

Spring-Summer-gone are they;
And Autumn's frosty tread is here:
And heightened night and shortened day
Proclaim the closing year.
The bright look Summer wore;
The fragrance Of its balmy breath;
Its warmth and bloom, have fled before
Chill Autumn's touch of death.
The withered leaves that race
And rustic in the icy breeze,
Late held a rich, enTobng place.
Upon the forest trees.
But now the cold wind stirs
No greenly waving rustIer there;
No warbler on. the boug IN appears.
And all is, bleak and bare.
Like the Autumnal tree,
The wearied heart will oft be found,
Its brightest hopes--.ook ronnd. and see--
Leaves on the frosted ground
But Autumn still doth shed
A brightness DER its faded things
So in the heart to sadness wed,
Light, born of sorrow, springs.

opened in the sand and unloading their
goods on quays that quiver on the bogs.

half the canals are shaded with deep
leaved lindens, and the carriages rattle
under them with tall houses on one side
