TAKEN IN AND REIIEvED.-A Frenchman,
reposing more confidence in crinoline "
than prudence at times should dictate,
whilst visiting "frail and fair" creature
in the south part Of town last evening, was
relieved Of some $3.50, and, demonstrating
to such summary mode Of relief, was con
frouted with q small BARKER" and request
ed to "get."
The Frenchman entered complaint against
the parties, lin which we learn the woman's
panderer is implicated and both will un-
dergo an examination before our city mag
istrate this morning.
As this is the second instance Of q simi-
lar nature which has occurred at this den,
and the perpetrators being generally too
crafty to be detected, (at all events they
nearly always get clear we would ask our
citizens, whom we believe have no desire to
see this nuisance in our midst t)-shall it not
be forthwith abated? You have the pow
er; the, city ordinances will sustain you
If not, resort to the last extremity, and do
so al 0aoe.

PoLITIcM.-The Democratic party thro'-
out the country rejoice in the results of the
Syracuse IN. ~ Convention. Though
the Hards had separate organization,
they nominated the same State ticket with
the SOfts The platforms of both sections
are substantially alike. There may be two
sets Of delegates at the Charleston Conven-
ton, but they will no doubt concur in the
nomination for President and Vice Presi-
dent. The New York Democracy adheres
to the Cincinnati Platform in relation to

An EXPENSIVE GovERNMENT.-The taxa
ton which the British Parliament imposes
this year, for the support of Government,
amounts to the enormous sum of sixty-nine
million pounds sterling, or four hundred
and forty-fve millions of dollars. OF this
sum, over twenty-eight million pounds ster-
ling go to pay interest on the national debt,
and over twenty-six millions sterling are re-
qured for the army and navy. This ex-

FORTY THOUSAND PEOPLE AT PRAYER
MEETING.-In connection with the remark
able religious Observation-Disclosures
going on in Ireland, the great union prayer
meeting which was held lately at Belfast,
is perhaps the most remarkable. Forty
thousand persons were present! The Ban
aer of Ulster says that the scene witnessed
in the garden grounds was one of the most
striking and impressive ever witnessed in
that province The meeting recalled viv-
idly the historic days of the signing of the
Solemn League and Covenant" The
Rev. John johnson, of Tulilish, Moderator
of the General Assembly Of the Irish Pres
byterian Church, presided, supported by
ministers of different denominations. As
it was impossible for so large congrega-
tion to be heard from the central platform,
ministers scattered out, at one time some
twenty-five, and addressed congregations;
varying from 500 to 1000 persons. Extra
ordinary scenes we're witnessed every here
and there among the immense multitude, of
persons being struck down under a deep
and overpowering conviction Of sin. There
were various small groups laboring under
these spiritual influences, some stretched
upon the sward ;-others reclining on their
friends. This remarkable phenomena has
called ont considerable discussion in the
philosophical world. At the close of the
meeting the people dispersed in perfect har-

in the Portland Tines Of late date. we
ascertain that the year 1859, thus far, has
been the most humid Of any since 1856, be-
yond which the table does not extend. The
dryest year was 1858. and the next moist
est > that Of 1857, which is exceeded ID
the quantity Of rain fallen this year, during
ths same time, BY l462 inches. The rain
fallen to Sept sls., as measured and noted
By Dr. Trenchard, under whose supervision
il seems to have been kept, amounted to
63.73 inches, or over eve feet water on the

nothing has contributed more towards inn

no more to keep a good horse,-gentle,

which would scarcely bring $50 in any

Hnau Shinment.

The largest shipment OF breadstnfs-the
product Of our own soil-ever made in this
Territory, was forwarded to Victoria few
days since by Messrs Crosby & Barnes and
Ward & Hays, per schooner Carolina, Capt.
JAS. JONES. The cargo consisted of $50
barrels superfne family -four, manufactured
at the mills Of the above firms, at Tumwa-
ter.
This, we believe, is the first extensive
shipment Of the product of our country to
foreign market, and sincerely do we hope
it may prove profitable beyond expectation.
Unless this first experiment should so re-
suit, we know full well that years would
perhaps elapse before others would be
found "fooLhardy" enough to venture upon
similar speculation. We stand sadly in
want Of something us an article Of export /;
something which might be substituted for
the ready cash" that is almost weekly re-
mitted to California and the States in pay
ment for the immense quantities Of mer-
chandise consumed by our citizens-com-
prising everything required by man-both
raiment and subsistence. 1t is an undenia-
BILE fact, that the people of the Pacific
coast, as q class, are the most extravagant
in the the world-a habit which has grown
upon them in the prosperous days of 40,
aud Of which, now that the hard times are
upon us, they are incapable Of divest-
ing themselves. 1t is therefore no difficult
matter 10 ascribe a reason for the tight
times" of which all so sorrowfully CON.
plain. A country which has nothing to
sell, as has been the case with our own
(save the lumber and timber, heretofore
exported, but which just at the present
time might be termed drug in market)
raising in fact not sufficient for her own
consumption and a great con Asumer of the
commodities of the countries, must and will
eventually find itself bankrupt communi-
ty, however wealthy and affluent it once
may have been; and just so much the SOON
er or later will that event be reached as
we indulge or curb that extravaganza
which draws upon the purse.
The only way then left us, is to live
more within ourselves, exercise greater
economy, live more frugal life, dispensing
with some Of these Injuries, which we have
grown to regard as almost necessaries, and,
BY the aid Of the farming portion of our
community, raise surplus Of the soils
yield for export to our neighbors. AS nc
country in the world is better adapted tc
the growth Of wheat and other small
grains, which always command prices thai
would justify the farmer 10 cultivating
the.n, let them at once enter vigorously
upon more extended farming operations
Let US see whether by another year We
cannot equal the amount of imports by the
value Of our exports.
In the meantime, let us cultivate tn
commercial acquaintance of our Britisl
neighbOrs by fair dealing, preparatory t,
moro extended operations by another year
and, our word for It, these "hard times

The liberal leaders in the British House Of
Commons have been consuming great ideal OF
time lately, in discussions about the vote by
ballot of the practical operation of which they
seem to know very little Notwithstanding MIR.
CoBDEN's recent visit to the United States
The New York Express is generous enough to
supply Mr.. Golden with a few hard facts,
which may help him 10 work out the problem
whether the vote by ballot is, as he seems 10
think it, the sum of all human good in poll
tics. and the ne plgs ultra OF every safeguard
against bribery and corruption. Mr.. CoBDES's
attention is called to the nlodus operandi of
elections in New York city, which has up
wards of two hundred election districts, at
for,iing splendid field to that class Of gentle
men who vote early and vote often. The Err
press says that many voter OF this class is
known to have begun with his ballots at the
lower end of New York, and kept on voting
from sunrise to sunset-workins his way up
town, as long as he had strength and time
The districts are near each other that with
ordinary activity and speed, the voter might
cast into the ballot boxes seyenty-fve votes or
more in the course Of the day. Another Of
the tricks is thedouble and triple ballot, which
is said TO be very difficult to guard against
under the ballot system. Glass ballot-boxes
were adopted at one time, in order to detect
the cheating and the cheats, but they proved a
failure and have been given up in despair
These are some specimens of the difficulties OF
the ballot. The rira roee system which prevails
in Virginia is far preferable to the ballot sys.
TEN, and, If adopted in New York, would cor
rect some OF the evils Of which the Errre,,
complains
