Warren happened to enter the National

The Albany Argus says that Earl Grey's
letter of instructions to Lord Elgin is re-
ceived "with riGicule, if not defiance by
the people," and that the removal from
Office by Lord Elgin of those engaged in
annexation movements, has done more to
aid their cause than almost anything else.
The Annexation Association of Canada
have issued protest to Earl Grey's des-
patch, denouncing it as not in accordance
with the wishes of the people of Canada.

The SOUTHERN QUESTION. Butler,
of South Carolina, lately denied in The

of Members of Congress held last year
originated either with MIR. Calhoun or
South Carolina He indicated three
Southern members as the authors Of the
whole proceeding. They are Davis, of
Mississippi. Hunter. of Virginia. and
Turney, of Tennessee.
The correspondent from Washington
of the Charleston Courier says that it
was signifed to MIR. Calhoun few days
since that the Senate would cheerfully
assign to him any time that he would
designate for the purpose of speaking on
the Southern question. MIR. Calhoun re-
piled that he felt able to speak, but thought
it better to defer it for a few days. He
did not wish, he said, to reply to any one.
He desired to express his own views.
He remarked that he was now satisfied
that the people of the South were ahead
of their leaders in movemers on this
subject
The same writer adds:
The prospect is that the Southern men,
or rather majority OF tnenl, WIN resist

The article has risen, in that market,
two cents per pound, during the last two
weeks. and at the rate of quarter of a
cent per pound, each week, for the last
sixteen weeks. 1t is now just one hum
dred per cent higher than it was a
year ago. The sales of the last fortnight
have been 40 ,935 bales; being the largest
business in that market of any fortnight
on record. The sales are chiefly to spec

cotton have ceased-the New York price
being several cents in the advance of the
Liverpool market. On the strength Of
this circumstance, the Hartford Times
states. that several Boston speculators
have sent out an order to purchase 25,s 90
bales i'll England; and there is also
rumor that combination was forming
in New York to despatch an agent with
