YANKEE SHREwDEEss ECLIPsED IN CANADA.
There is sort of Yorkshire euteness and
trickery displayed by some Canadians,
which rather excels the trade in wooden
nutmegs. A resident now at this place, who
was at the great Provincial Fair last year,
met a man from the United States trying to
sell few barrels Of pears, and, on inquiring
dozen of picked ones and, being informed
that it would be fifty cents, the Canadian
selected a dozen of the best ones, and took
them to the fair and entered them, and got
the premium of So for the best specimens of

THE MEXICAN WARs-The Capture OF
Guadatgdro- Distress and Suffering of the
Besieged GtizenS.-Late Mexican papers con-
firm the report by telegraph of the capture
of the city of Guadalajara, the second Of the
Republic, but give no particulars of the loss
Of the besieged, which must have been very
large. The latest files of newspapers from
Mexico abound in most touching letters from
the besieged city, from which it would ap-
pear, as might indeed have been expected.
that the suffering of the people was very
great. We learn, indeed, from letter of
General Ortega himself, that on the lst inst.
the suffering had become so great that the
fire upon the city was suspended for the
space of three hours, that women and chill
dren might leave the town. How many
actually left we are not informed, but it
would appear that the number was small.
In all probability the poor people knew
not what to do, and there, for the space of
at least twenty days. they remained huddled
together in the center of the town, farthest
removed from the shots of the besiegers, suf-
feriDg each hour discomforts and anxieties
which must have been worse than death
itself
In the same letter General Ortega gives
an equally sad accoun: of the demoraliza-
tion and necessities of the soldiery in the
town, which must have added tenfold to the
horrors of the scene.

A VIRGINIA GAscoN REBUKED.-At the

Duval, an educated gentleman, and large
slave-bolder from Prince Georges County,
Md, stated from the stand that he had voted
in 1856 for Buchanan, he now intended 20
support Bell, and that he thought it passing
strange that though the State of Tennessee
had conferred her highest honors upon John
Bell, it remained for Roger A. Pryor to pro-
claim him an Abolitionist This produced
an effect which all of Pryor's rhetorical
fiourishes could not efface.

The AntOneIli FamiIy-The Character and
Crnftiness of the Notorious Cardinal
His Influence over the Pore.

Craftiness of the Notorious Cardinal
His Influence over the Pore.
Giacomo Antonelli is Of family that
comes from the savage mountain region be-
yond the Pontine Marshes. He was horn
near Terracina, in 1905. The Antonelli
family says the Philadelphia EUening BuL-
tetln, cling together like the Rothschilds. Tn
is remarkable how often this is the case with
very successful men, and how often family
ieuds and separations lead TO insignihcance.
There are five brothers, two of whom, be-
sides the Cardinal, live at Rome one being
Director of the Roman Bank, and the other
having been for time at the head of the
municipality. Another brother, who is en-
gagged in agricultural and trading pursuits,
resides at Terracina. The youngest gener-
ally lives at Paris, and is engaged in specu-
lating in stocks and railroads. Thev are de-
scrioed as keen business men, and very fond
OF money. The Cardinal, it is alleged. has An
immense sum invested in diamonds 80 that
he can carry his wealth with him In case of
reverses. While occupying splendid nal
ace on the Quirinal, and while his tastes are
sensual, it is said that his habits are not ex-
pensiye or magnificent. The family have
much landed property, and the public funds
are said to have been freely used to enrich
them, directly and indirectly.
Cardinal Antonelli is described as nearly
destitute of learning. He knows but little
of history or bellies Iettres, still less of the
ology. But he is eminently keen and shrewd
and quick to learn. His connection for n
time with the Liberal party about ls48 was
only to attain a commanding position. He
is the most thorough of conservatives. the
most entire believer in despotism. The
grand object of life with him, is to keen
power and money in the hands of the few.
especially in that of his family. This family
affection is one of his virtues, and he carries
1t so far as to be devotedly attached to his
old mother, who is described as an ignorant
peasant woman.
The Pope is utterly in Antonelli's hands.
The latter holds dozen offices, especially
that of Prefect of the Palace, which puts the
Pope under his immediate control, and Sec
retary Of State. He governs Plus the TX.
by skilful adaptation of himself to all the
notions OF the comparatively feeble old man.
HIMSELF probably, without enthusiasm for
religion, he falls into the Popes notions
about the Immaculate Conception and thiugs
OF that sort because tkgPope is enthusiastic
for them, and Antonelff is content that he
should amuse himself. 5s4
There is nothing striking about Antonelli
except his Italian subtlsty and his fine an
pearance. There are no high aims no efforts
TO improve the people of the country, no ele-
waited ambition, no scholarship, no refined
magnlhcence, no passion for Italy or the
church. His aims are low but he has a
Mazarin-like power in carrying them out.

A well-dressed young man CHANGING to come

Interesting Reminiscence Of English His.
tory he imprisonment and COndemna.
tlOn Of the Duke of NorfOIk-His Life
Saved by the Death Of Henry VIII.
The trial of the Duke, says the last num-
Der of BldekWood, came on. Thirty years
before this he had been the great soldier of
England. He had always conquered by land
or by sea--for the services were not at that
time divided-and especially had served un-
der his father at the great battle of Flodden,
which so weakened the power of Scotland
that she could never more cope on equal
terms with her more powerful sister.
But all these services were forgotten; for
gotten also the obedience-we NAV almost
call il servility-displayed by this chief of
the Howards to the wishes and caprices of
the king. We wish we could forget them
too, for they are the only blots upon his
character. Out of an overstrained feeling
of the duty of submission, he had acqui-
esced in the execution of his two nieces
Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, the
wives of the tyrant who was now intent on
his own destruction. With a clinging to
life, which was, perhaps, natural at his years,
he begged for pardon-confessed guilt, where
no guilt existed, in hopes Of softening
the obdurate heart of his destroyer-and
found services, submission, confession, sup
plication, all in vain.
On the 28th of January an order was sent
to the Lieutenant of the Tower for his exc
cution on the following morning. What
gloom was in the Dukes chamber that night
we need not say; what grief to find his
white hairs dishonored, his petition disre-
garded, his son murdered almost before his
eyes, and the hour approaching that was to
carry him to the fatal block.
But there was another chamber that night
that was as full of gloom as the prisoners
dungeon in the Tower. On O stately bed
lay sufferer groaning with pain, and tor
mented, as we may suppose, with the up
braidings of an uneasy conscience. Fretftil,
irritable, and unsubdued, it was the King
who was now wrestling with DEATH With
trembling hands his wife administered the
opiates recommended to soothe his pain; the
page at the door counted the cries of anguish
without sigh of compassion; and silently
the physician went through the ceremony
offeeling the pulse, and could give no pros
pect ofrecovery.
- Here were two men, the tyrant and the
victim, both struggling with the terrible
hour. Gray dawn began to light up the
=tnrret tops of the Tower; it also rested on
the roof Of the palace at Westminster. The
early morn was to see the Duke of Norfolk
fall before the stroke of the exeeutioner; but
before that time surer blow fell upon the
exhausted tyrant. A hurried noise of feet
sounded at the prisoners door, the key is
turned, voice gives him the news-the
King is dead, and the Duke was saved.
1t shows how completely these cruelties
were the work of the individual King, that
his decease was the signal for the abrogaton
OF law; the sentence was never carried into
execution, and in peace and quiet the re-
mainder of the emancipated prisoners days
were passed. N -r.

The Republicans here arc making merry
this morning, and the Democrats are mourn
ins, over the fact that bon. CHARLES R. GILL,
ut present State Senator from this District, and
always until now Democrat, Las announced
his determination to vote for LINCOLN and
HAA11N. He has bccn m ardent supporter Of
Douglas up to this time, but has now come to
the conclusion that to vote for him is to vote:
Indirectly for 10 Lane. That, Nr. GILL says,
he cannot and will not do. He therefore has
wheeled into line with the Republican party,
aud from now until the election, will do all he
can to promote the success Of It's candidates.
liz also supports Judge SLOAN for Congress,
against that most doughy Of doughfaces,
LAnRAnEE:
The Republicans Of Jefferson and Dodge
counties arc to have n ,nass meeting ut this
place On Thurslay next, and are, to be ad-
dressed by Senator GILL and Carl scuCnz.

[From the World OF Saturday.
The bears were let loose in the Wall street

rather, they tried The tactics Of that famous

hide, and bclaborcd the impostor with a

equally vigorous treatment
The general depression Of stocks Yesterday,
from tlirce to five per cent, was purely facti-
tious operation, conducted in pursuance Of m
atrocipus plot concocted By leading political
aud financial gamblers. The political couspir-
tors against property arc driven to this out
rasgeons trick by sheer desperation. The pro-
disioas patronage of the federal government,
a11ountin. to eighty million Of dollars annu.
auy, seems likely to pass under new control
1t is not surprising that thc party Which has
fur the last eight years dispensed these MIL
lions and the honorable offices to which they
are All appendase, should attempt TO tighten
their grasp on what tley seem destined to
lose. 30 long as they limit their excrtions to
legitimate or even customary electiouccring,
an Independent press may not feel called upon
to criticisc them with much sharpness or se-
verify; hut Wien they attempt to nrop up
their tot1Cring influences by sEp0ton ahd frck-
less crusade against property, by incendiary at-
tCfnp{4 to 10Qic atilffQ ana spread dGFOuf1nE

The Wall street flnancicrs arc simply at their
oldtrlcks. The operations yesterday attract
unusual attention from the fact that tAe or1li-
nary gambling machinery WIS nude to move
with more than ordinary momentum. It is
the business of the Wall street guild, which
