ST. JOINS. October 13-The Asia, with dates from
Liverpool to the 4th, and from Queenstown TO the
9th, has arrived. Her news is unimpOrtant.
The newspapers continue to compliment the North
for its efforts in Maryland, and argue the most prom
Using results therefrom.
Consols, 93s.
The .frmy and Vary Gazette says the South has
tried the offensive and failed. They have shown
great daring, and been beaten.
The expectation of arms and ammunition from
England 20 America is increasing. The shipments of
the first eight months of the year are valued at
81 300, 900.
The Paris Patrie learns from a good source that
nothing is more likely than the recognition of the
South, on a basis of accomplished facts, very soon ,
England and France acting in concert.
The Bourse was very much excited on the Sd,
rentes closing at Y. The supposed advance was
caused by a rumor that the Papal Government nd
shown a more plant disposition.
On Sunday, the 4th. n royal decree will proclaim
an amnesty to Glribaldi and his followers, excepting

The principal journals, including the Times, COM
plain OF Mcclellan for lack of vigorous and energetic
movements.
The Times says the Confederates have sustained
no disastrous defeat in Maryland. Their army re-
treated in good order, whilst the Federal army,
demoralized by former defeats, suddenly proved itself
equal to the Confederates. This sudden turn is
doubtless owing TO the liberation of Mcclellan from
the restrictions heretofore imposed upon him, but the
NOrthern cause is not advanced one step by their
unexpected victory.

NEw YORK, October 9.-European advices con-
time 10 indicate the settled purpose of England and
France to adhere to their declared policy Of non-in-
terveution.
\ singular suit has been brought in England by
the Bishop of Exeter 10 restrain a clergyman from
writing the BiSop's life. The biographer insists on
his right and the subject denies it, and the correspon-
dence growing angry and failing to accomplish any
change of the writer's determination, the Bishop ap-
peals to chancery.
ENGLAND AND CANADA.-The feeling in England
towards Canada, as manifested in the speeches in
Parliament, in the Times, and in the tone of leading
men, Is one Of Indifference and almost of unfriendli-
ness. The cost Of keeping up the military establish
ment, the little commercial advantages from the con-
nectiOn, and especially the refusal of the Canadian
Parliament 10 burden itself with q heavy expense to
guard against an imaginary danger Of invasion from
this side, are all referred to in a manner offensive to
colonial pride, and one would think damaging to
colonial loyalty. The Canadians are plainly told by
high authority that they are of no essential value in
time of peace, that they will not defend themselves
and are not worth the cost of defending by the moth
er country IN time Of war, and that altogether they
are a very disagreeable and troublesome set Of peo-
pie. This style Of speech has been going on for some
time, but II has not before assumed so positive and in
sulring a form, and we look with some curiosity to
see how it will be taken by the Canadians. How il
would be taken if our own affairs were tranquil and
the advantages which We once did, and to which ma
ture and geography so clearly point. there can be no
question. But IN that case the insulting words
would not have been spoken.
