Grand Island lies not far above-it is
twelve miles in length, and from two to
seven In breadth. The land is highly fer
tile, and much of it is in actual state of
cultivation. 1t was on this island that the
late Major Mordecai NJ. Noah, of New
York, designed to build the "City of
Ararat," as place Of refuge for the scat
tered tribes of Israel. In 1925, he even
went so far as to lay the cornerstone, amid
infinite pomp, and to erect monument
commemorative Of the occasion The monu.
ment is still standing, in excellent state Of
preservation.
At the foot of this island is an arm of the
river called Burnt Ship Bay, from cir
cumstance connected with the close of the
French war in 1859. The garrison a,
Schlosser had already made gallant re-
sistance to one attack of the English, and
were preparingfor another, when, dishearten-
ed by the news of the fall of Quebec, they
resolved to destroy the two armed vessels
containing their military stores. Accord
ngly, they brought them to this bay and
set them on fire. The wrecks, even at this
day, are sometimes visible.

Dependence Of Engiand.- prosper;-
ty OF England depends in so great degree
on the crops of the United States, that war
with this country would lead to her univer-
sal bankruptcy. The London Times says:
We are at this moment more dependent
upon the United States tor a supply of cot
ton than we were when the danger was first
impressed upon US; and a few storms at
critical period of the plants growth, or a
universal drought, or one of those mysteri-
Gus diseases which for a series of years
nearly destroyed our potatoe crops at home
and which have so much interiered with
the growth of the vine on the continent, 10
say nothing Of "a possible convulsion in the
States, arising out OF the slavery question,
may bring ruin and misery upon the manu-
featuring Industry of the country, from
which there is no escape"
Auerica an exchange well remarks, has
become necessity to the crowned heads
OF Eng land and France. Our cotton keeps
instruction out of Manchester, while our
crop of wheat alone enables the "Nephew
of his Uncle" to keep bread riot from
breaking out in Paris.
