bling. France" as our polite limner in ele-
CANT phraseoogy tells his hearers, "has got
England's mob in Chancery, and she cannot
move" If Napoleon should give one sneeze
we are done for. This is our sad fate indi-
vidually liars, towards, drunkards, beggars,
and slaves as a nation to have Brian Burroo
for King: but before that time arrives, to be
extinguished by sneeze from Louis Naoole-
on, or at any rate to sink into the abyss, .when
America refuses to lend US money to pay the
interest on our national debtw This is the
severest cut of all.
Such Is England and the English, as painted
by MIR. George Francis Train, for the delecta-
ton OF Philadelphia audience, presided over
by an Ex-Governor of the State of Pennsylva-
MIA. The man is thought by some to he mad !;
but our own opinion is that he is more knave
than fool There is method in this madness.
ana purpose in the utterance of this mass of
exqulsitely absurd falsehoods before American
audiences. Mr.. Trains object is to aid the re-
vival of Democratic influence in the Northern
States, and he can find no more effectual
means than to excite TO hatred of this coun-
t1y. Hatred Of England was always the ex-
elusive property Of that party, and by reviving
or extending the feeling now they hope to d.
vert or weaken the efforts of the Republicans,
always feiendly to this country, to carry on
the war in the spirit of slavery abolition
Train is clever knaye, but we are inclined to
think he has overshot the mark on this occa-
sion, and that his friends, the Northern Dem
oerats, will find in him but a sorry auxiliary.

IMPORTANT News FROM CANADA.-We
find in the Montreal correspondence of the
New York Times that the steamers from Que
bee are daily bringing to Montreal, in quiet
manner, Armstrong guns and large quantities
of shot and shell, aud that there is sort of
underlined apprehension that some idea of war
with the United States influences these pro-
ceedngs. Two troops of artillery and sup
ply Of stores have been landed from the Ari-
adne, and 10000 men are coming from Halifax
and elsewhere to'be garrisoned at Quebec
Commodore Wilkes movements at Bermuda
are assigned as the cause Of this preparation.
The correspondence above quoted says:
SIT cannot be doubted that in the event of
war the population of Canada would espouse
the cause of the mother country warmly.
though not so enthusiastically as they did last
winter when the Trent affair occurred The
writings of Prot. Goodwin Smith and the sup
port his anti-colonal opinions have received
from certain classes~at home have some what
weakened the fervency of Canadian attach
ment to the Brit sh Empire: but still. | repeat.
il is not TO be doubted that the people would
rise to repel any invasion from south of the
boundary line, and the struggle that would
ensne, if hostilities were TO commence. would
be fierce, and entail terrible disaster on both
sides"
1t seems that the wholesale merchants of
Montreal have been at issue with the customs
authorities there in the matter of being forced
to pay ad valorem duties on goods imported
from the United States and invoiced according
to the heavy premium on gold Much trouble
has occurred during the past three months on
this account, but at length the customs authori-
ties have given way, and in future reduction
is to be made from the face of the invoice
equivalent TO the depreciation here on our
paper money. The correspondent referred 10
says in this connection:
Thus great obstacle to trade with New
York and Boston has been quietly removed
You may notice that the exploded system
really imposed diflerential duties on our COM
merce with the States. Now, you can 90 on dep
reciating your currency without thereby pro-
hibiting commerce."

Con- FoorE,s SHELI.s.-The western
correspondent Of the New York World
thus describes the effect of the shells fred
from the mortar boats:
The effect of these shells upon the
Island was truly terrific The earth is
ploved and furrowed as with an earth
quake. Small caverns were excavated by
the tremendous explosions, and in one
place an nnexploded shell has penetrated
the earth 10 the depth of sixteen feet,
leaving round hole like . ball. Huge
cottonwood trees, two and three feet in
diameter, were hit and blown TO atoms.
The rebels could no, stand such missiles,
and would not. They constructed rat
holes.' BY telling large trees and placing
short logs slantingly against them, cover
ing the whole with earth Into these
they cravied with the utmost agility when
ever the voice Of mortar was heard.-
Every battery on the Island is provided
with one of these rat-holes in convenient
proximity for the gunnes. 1t is difficult
to conceive of an engine more terrible in
its destructive effects at the distance of
three miles than these enormous shells"

GENERAL HALLEcK AND THE FEMALE
SEcEssrUN1sTs.-At the risk of getting
the reputation Of an ungallant man, Gen.
Halleck has refused to grant any privi-
leges to the female secessionists Of Mis-
souri,. In response to an appeal in behalf
Of the family ofa Baptist preacher now
serving as chaplain in Prices army, the
General says:
Ii regard to the wife Of the Reverend
Captain Chaplain in General Prices ar
my, who wishes to visit her husband,
please inform her that no such permission
can be granted. Nearly ait the secession
lists of this State who have entered the
rebel service have left their wives aud
daughters to the care Of the federal troops.
There is scarcely q single instance where
this confidence has been abused BY us.--
But what return have these ladies made
for this protection? In many cases they
have acted as spies and informers Of the
enemy, and have been most loud-mouthed
in their abuse of our cause, and most in
sulting in their conduct toward those who
support it Under any other govern
ment they would, for such conduct, be
sexpelled from the country or confined
within the walls of prison"
The following concluding passage in
the Generals letter has sting to it:
Indeed. find that the persons who
advocate more lenient policy toward re-
turned sscessionists are also continually >
petitioning to have additional troops sent
10 their counties to protect Il em irom the
operations Of these same rebels.
Very respectfully, your ob't serv't.
