The Foreign News.

The City of Glasgow, with nine days later intel
Erencc, and the Canada, with two weeks later
newe, are now fully due-the former at this port
and the latter at Halifax
But, meanwhile, the Cambria may arrive at Hall
nx with one weeks later adyices. There were no
tidipgs of her last night, and owing to her long
passage, there begins TO be some anxiety felt for
her in Wall street and elsewhere; not because she
has been longer at sea than other steamers have
been, but in consequence Of the remarkable regu-
larity in the passages of the Cunard steamers
The Canada, the steamer now due, and one of the
Estest Of that line, was once eighteen days in
making the passage to New York; and the British
Queen, which left Hamburg twenty-eight days
ago, has not yet made her appearance.
u. S.-Neithcr the Cambria nor the Canada had
arrived at Halifax at hafpast four o'clock yester-
day afternoon.

May, MAY, MAY, TIE FIRST or MAY-Mov~o.-
The way in which furniture will be thrown about
to-day, will beat all the ghosts in Rochester STRAIT
ford and Newark. At day-break, the rappings will
commence at two thirds Of the houses in the city,
and many will leave their tenements in hot haste
by noon Many persons will be pinched, squeezed,
wounded, and bruised; door knobs will fly about,
door plates will be removed, pitchers be pitched
headlong, bedsteads be pushed about and broken,
and all sorts Of curious capers cut up, to the al
most infinite annoyance Of the citizens. The an
nual May mystery will, of course, attract the at
tention of stangers, and if some of the evil spirits
don't set fire to something in the course of the day.
it will be wonder. These annual rappings, ring
ings, and movings of household goods, are very
remarkable. They have existed ever since the
Dutch settlement of Manhattan, and have in
creased in number and power with every addition
al year of our history. -Stratford, Rochester and
Newark, can only move beadstead hair-brush,
door knob, pillow, or matchbox, or set fire to a
piece of paper; but on any first day Of May, here
in New York, we can turn, through the magic of
our householders, half the city topsy-turvy-per
form tricks which no record can chronicle, and
stir up the dust and cobwebs which have gathered
in twelve-month This is an exeitement-a
communication with good ans evil spirits worth
talking about-and though the devil may be to
pay, all classes, poets, parsons, judges, lawyers,
merchants, editors, everybody, must share in the
confusion. While these things are going on, il is
perfectly ridiculous for such small places as Ro-
chester, Stratford and Newark, to enter into COM
petition with New York. We move the whole
world every day, and New York once a year on
the first of May
