himself and the race to which he uHtor-

driven by his brutality and neglect, from

Foreign News by the Canada,

1t is highly probable that the next
steamer which arrives will bring Us the
news Of bloody engagement having Ia
ken place between. the Russians and the
allied armies.
/ BY the Canada we learn that Marshal
st. Arnaud had despatched seventy thou
sand men to the relief of Silistria. and it
was expected that they would reach that
fortress by tie 10th at the fiIrthcrcst by
the 18th Of June. The Importance of
this position has naturally caused great
anxiety as to its fate, and from the ire
mcndous force which the Russians had
believe that it must have fallen before
the arrival Of the troops sent to its relief.
The Russians now seem determined to
continue their advance, and their troops
at Bucharest nave received orders to move
on to the Danube. We may therefore
expect to hear soon of something more
decisive than the bombarding ofan almost
GclcnScless town and the capture Of = few
merchant vessels.
From the Baltic and Black seas we have
no account Of any fresh operations. Sir
Charles Napier is. we presume, awaiting
the arrival Of the promised feet of small
steamers before he attacks Sweabrog and
Cronstadt, and Admiral Dundas is wait
ing to get his own steam up before he
attacks Sehastpol.
There are reports, as usual, of q dispo-
sition on the part of Russia to propose an
armistcc through the medium of Austria
and also Of an intimation on the part oil
Prussia to the former Power that she
will do well to comply with the invita-
ton of Austria to quit the Principalties
The lesser German States have assumed
an equivocal AM distrustful position to-
wards Austria and Prussia and the re-
suit ofthe convention at hamburg is like
~ to lead to subsidiary complication al
as embarrassing us that of which Vienna
has been the theatre.
Several changes have taken place in
the British Cabinit. Lord John Russell
has becnappointed President ofthe Corm-
ell; the Duke of Newcastle, Minister Of
War; and Sir George Grey, Secretary d

In reply, among other things, Gcrrtt
says it is s hopeful sign that this Ncbras-

last Saturday, the 24th inst, did not eff
feet much.

There were large number in atten-

and sor,e dissatisfaction was NANTES
ted at the permanent location of the FAIR
+ Ground at Du!ton's.
Various motions were made in relation
thereto, and a large desultoIy, exciting
and somewhat feeling discussion cnsued
t!crcupon.
1t was finally decided by the Chair
man. upon a rira roce vote, Vice Pfesi-
dent Woodworth.) that the vote locating
the Fair Ground was reSciaded.
This caused considerable dissatisfaction.
and another long, unharmonious CONVEX
sation and discussion followed.
The great objection made to locating
at buttons was the fact that his is a
Liquor Tavern" This objection, with
some, was IN odified by his engaging, on
Fair Days. to.close his bar.
The final result was an adjournment
for two weeks, when the whole question
is to be determined
1t is understood that all sides are to
rally their greatest free, and to go pre-
pared to do their best. And it was de-
sired thata full attendance should be had.

A Fact for the Abolitlonlsts.

We noticed few days since in the marble
yard of Mr.. j. c. Marquis, large and tastetully
decorated marble slab, with the following inscrip-
ton upon it;
..Sacred to the memory of Billy Martin, the
faithful servant of John Merritt.
..This stone was erected by his young masters
"a. s. j. w. Merritt, in token of respect for
his memory"
This simple inscription on the tombstone of an
humble servant. is whole volume ofrepIy to the
exaggerated accounts of Mrs. Stowe, and her as
sociates in Misrepresentation. The stone could
not have cost less than thirty or forty dollars, prob
ably more than Aunt Harriet has given for the re-
lief of suffering black humanity during her lite
time. Out of the entire profits which she has re-
allied from the sale of "Uncle Tom" and kindred
works, we doubt whether she has appropriated to
the starving, furnishing colored population OF the
North, an amount equal to that expended by these
grateful masters, in erecting monument over the
remains of an attached and faithful old family ser
