REVIVAL OF TRADE.-At the rate at which
trade is reviving, we may almost expect return
of the flush times Of 1868. For several weeks
the money writer's have reported regularly
that money was plentiful. But so frightened
were people by the disasters of last year, that
even with the fact staring them in the face
they refused to believe it, and would not adj
venture upon new operations or carry on the
old ones on the same scale as formerly.
These fears are now subsiding. We have sell
dom had a year in which the fall trade had
commenced with more spirit than it now does
The importations are increasing at surprising
rate; money is flowing with unparalleled rapid
ty into the sub-treasury; merchants are filing
their stores with new goods. The small coun-
try dealers have begun to arrive in town from
this and the neighboring States, and as they
are flush, their purchases are holder and more
extensive tbn usual. OF the crops, enough
has already been said. 1t seems actually GER
tain that we never had so great a year for far
mers, and also that, from peculiar circum-
Stances the war among others, the abundance
of grain will not produce its usual effect-poor
prices. The European demand will keep up
the price of grain at least for the present
and the farmers, if they can let out their sup
plies gradually. will make fortunes. This fall
and winter have wonderful prospect Of pros
peTity.

The arrival OF the Canada at Halifax places
u in possession Of one weeks later news II
appears that active hostilities la commenced
both in the Baltic and in the Crimea. In the
former, the Notifications Of Sweaborg had
been attacked, and, according to the British
accounts, destroyed Sweaborg az our read
ers are aware, is an important and strongly
fortified island or islands in the harbor Of Hell
singfors. on the northern coast of the Gulf of
Finland.
As to the attack on the lines of the Tcher-
maya, that has long been expected. The Rus
slams are growing tired Of letting the enemy
monopclize all the dashing exploits of the
war. The army under Liprandi must chafe
for occupation. For many weeks, while the
Allies have steadily approached their parallels
and raised their earthworks, the Russians in
the Tcheruaya valley have lain perdas among
the brushwood, or behind the enormous bate
ries they have erected 70 keep of the enemy
On the 10th inst Liprandi moved forward to
retrieve the fault and the disgrace Of mixer
mann. We cannot tell, yet on what particular
point Of the British or French lines he fell: but
from the confguration Of the ground It an
pears probable that the attack was directed
upon point not very far distant from the
site Of the battle of lnkermann. We learn
moreover that he was repulsed with heavy
loss after three hours hard fighting.
Thus has the superiority Of the Western sol
dier over the Russian been once more Illus
trated. Now that we have an abundance Of

been equalled by the Russians works OF de-
fence; and just as Liprandi is beaten back with
heavy loss from the lines Of the Allies on the
Tchernaya, will the Allies themselves be beaten
back whenever they attempt to assault works
of which they cannot silence the fire.
On the whole, the news Is favorable to the
Allies. They seem at last to have perceived
that their end can be attained without court

which they cannot take. If the British once

self to every true American The only controversy

Our plan proposes 10 commence with the high

Council Of the United States will act Immediately
upon the State Grand Councils, and they in turn
viii exert similar influence upon the subordinate

sequently the desired results win be but legitimate
effects. Nor Is this mere theory, INFESTED and

~ MRS. nAHr 4. xrDDE.-

Bhs boasts no rich and costly robes,
fhe wears no jewels in her hair
And yet her pale and comely face
Seems wanting in no modest grace
To make her passing fair
With backward glance Of anxious love
She quits the humble cottage door,
And through the wet or dusty street.
She treads with worn, yet willing feet,
The path of trod before.
What sudden thought calls up the blood
The crimson tide, that fain would speak,
As swift the arrowy shuttle flies,
As swifter still her task she plies,
while tears are on her cheek
That blush wears not the tinge of shame,
Those tears are not the tears Of sinl
Some hope, or fear, with sudden start,
Sends bounding from the busy heart,
The tsll.tale blood within.
Those tears bespeak mothers need
A widowed mother thin and pale;
For who will give the orphan food,
And find the scanty share Of wood,
When her weak efforts failt
But Mary's heart Is light and free,
And Mary's hands were made TO toll
And NEWER (says the blushing cheek
Shall one so pale, and i'll, and weak,
As that dear mother, toll.
God bless thee, Mary; keep thy vow,
And unto thee shall strength be given;
And whom thy noble work is done,
The cross borne, the victory won,
Thy rest shall DO in Heaven.
