FROM EURoPE.-Advices from Europe have come by the steamship Saxouia. The truth of ths rumor, that Mason, the rebel envoy, in- tended to withdraw from Great Britain, in in consequence of the rudeness to which he has been consistently subjected, is confirmed. He has officially notified Earl Russell of his withdrawal, in obedience to instructions from the rebel Government. The London Times readily admits that the fate of Charleston is decided, its fall being simply question of time. The Florida has completed her repairs at Brest, and was to leave port on the 23d ult. Two United States war vessels had come from Madeira to watch the pirates move. ments. One of these vessels was at Lisbon and the other at Brest. The atement is made that the commander of the Florida in- tended to offer the first one battle. while her colleague remained at Brest undergoing re- pairs. It is asserted ia France that Great Britain has engaged to acknowledge the usur- patton in Mexico, as soon as Maximilian off cially announces his acceptance of the Crown. Several engagements are reported to have ta- ken place recently between the Poles and Russians, in which the latter were defeated.

1G-The democrats" thought they hadn't enough voters to elect their ticket in this town, on Monday last, so they sent out of town for them. One of these, who is at present engag- ed in doing business in Wolcottville, offered his vote at our polls, and was challenged by Re- publican, on the ground that the voter was not resident of this town but after he had in- dulged in storm of coarse abuse of the Union- ist, his vote was admitted by the Moderator. At he same election, on tue same day, this same elector soas running Jor office on he dem ocratic ticket in 7orrington. Comment is un- necessary.

THE HARwrNToN ANNUAL CATTLE SHOW AND FAIR took place, as announced, on Thurs day last, October lst, and was in every way a very creditable display. There were one hun dred and twenty-six pairs of oxen and steers on exhibition, most of them first class cattle, and many of them extra-fne. A fine team of nine pairs were exhibited from Bristol; also, five pairs from Torrngford, and four pairs from Plymouth-all good cattle.
 The display of general and domestic manu- features was also very fine, and several art- cles of curiosity were exhibited, such as @ piece of embroidery made in l79O. The ex- hibition of vegetables and horticulture was very large and excellent. Harwinton excels most of our mountain towns in the production of the fruits of the 6cld and garden.
 We have received list of the pr4miums awarded from the Secretary Mir. II. c. Os- born, but are compelled to defer its publication until next week. when we shall try to print it in full.

TIE TEMrsRANeE LECTURE by Jas. Rich ards Esq, came of as announced on Friday evening last. We were not able to be present on the occasion, but the lecturer kindly fur nishes ns with the following report.-whioh our readers might have almost supposed we had written ourself, if we had not made this explanation.
 Old Litchfeld begins te move in the cause of reform. On Friday evening in pursu- ancs of the notice in our last issue, & large and respectable audience was gathered in the Court House to listen to the lecture of Jas Richards. Esq, of this village. This gentleman has en- listed heart and soul in the great temperance lnoVement-a movement not only working for the good of the cause of humanity, but offering successful aid to the cause of religion. Our ab- sence from tue village prevented us from being present at this lecture, but ,oe are informed on the highest authority, that it was charac. terlzed by none ofthe eccentricities or absurd. ities-the bad arguments or unsharitahle ;n- vective, which occur so often in the effusions of total abstainers. It was dignifed and rational defence of the views which are popu larly designated by the term "Tsatotalism" which may be summed up in two pr opositons: the first being that the world in general would be benefited by a disuse of fermented liquors, and the second asserting that it is the duty of every individual to abstain from these stim- ulants
 "A very circumstantial account was given of the origin and progress of the Temperance movement in this country and it was clearly shown that wherever patient labor has been expended to arouse the people to the evils of intemperance, there the temperance enterprise has prospered, and by the continuance of such labouring and in this way alone, the reforma- tion is to be carried forward to its final and glorious consumation. Wewish God speed to Mir. Richards as champion of Temperance or abstinence. In these days there is reason to welcome every means which may tend to re- fine and elevate the manners and the morals of the people.
 The political changes which are looming in the distance, whatever form or visitation they may take, cannot fail to give added pow CT to the sovereign pecple-and it will be best for all parties that the sovereign-be a Total abstainer--or ,cater drinker.
 "Another public meeting is soon to be held, in which addresses may be expected from our most prominent citizens"

@r We have received communication from correspondent who signs himself " A Member of the Litchfeld County Agricutu- ral Society from it's Organization" complain ing that the Rules of the Society were viola ted at its late Fair, in awarding premiums to men:b Der of the Society both on his stock of cattle and individual animals from the stock. We have the best authority for stating to our correspondent that such were not the facts. The member alluded e. did not enter those animals which were awarded premiums, in the stock of cattle which also took the first pre- mium. Each entry was made separately, and no animals which were entered for premiums as stock, were also entered sngly. If this was the case, of course, no rule was violated.

A gentleman who has just returned from England, after prolonged tour in that coun- try, informs the Boston 7fareller, that the United States Consul at Liverpool felt conf dent of being able to accumulate sufficient testi mony to justify the course of the English Government in detaining the rebel rams, just completed at that port. Arrangements were making before the order of detention was re- received to man the vessels with British sailors, preparatory to their departure for the coast of the United States.

was not more generally patronized. There were scarcely 15O people present, men, women and children, during the time we were on the grounds and fully two thirds of the former appeared more interested on an auction that seemed to be going on, (as sort of side-show domestic manufacture) to attract spectators,) than upon observing what might have been seen elsewhere. Indeed the gentlemanly Sec retary MT. Hatch, gazed upon our ssventy-ive cents, at the gate, as lovingly as if the vision had been only too rare, and too infrequently repeated, during the day. We have no other means of judging whether the Society manag. ed to pay its tremendous p, emiums Gin full.''
 We have left ourself but little space to speak of the ground which the Society uses, which is as i'll adapted to their wants as we'll could be, uneven, marshy and rugged, and with g track having grade of about ten or fifteen feet at one end, and not quite as perfect in shape as hens egg However, we presume the Society have no right or wish to find fault, as we are told. they not only have the grounds free of rent for their fair, from the owners of the track, but also that, hitherto at least, the Track owners have paid the premiums of the society to their exhibitors.
 We close this hasty report with hearty commendation of the energy and industry of the officers of the " Greenwoods' Society," fer the present season, and with the assurance that by as constant and successful effort for a series of years they win be able to secure the appreciation of their townsmen in general, and of the luminnry, domestic manufacture) which sheds their virtues abroad in particular. We learn that horse-trot came off on the same grounds on Wednesday, and was tolera- bly, numerously attended. The sooner the Society disconnects itself, entirely, from these " hops" and ''horse trots," which are gotten up by interested spectators outside of the Society, but under its name, the better for its prosperity and healthfulnsss.

 THE Tows ELECTION passed off quietly, and with apparently little interest to the majority of those more deeply concerned. The "Dsn- ocratic" vote was about the same as usual, while the Union vote fell of nearly one hun dred, and, owing to theindifsrence manifested by our voters, the entire sDemoeratie" ticket was elected. If any one has any complaints to make during the next year of the admins tration of the towns affairs, and particularly with regard to the manner in which voters are ''made' next Spring, they have only them selves, and the apathy with which they regar- ded the election this Fall to blame. The on- ion party presented ticket containing the names of citizens known to be honest, upright and just.

p9 Mr. J. W. Cone of Norfolk, requests

p@@ Mr. J. W. Cone of Norfolk, requests us to apologize for the non appearance of bis new Adirondac" Grape at the County Fair, as advertised in this paper. He was disap- pointed in receiving specimens from the grow CTS. Neat year, he hopes to have specimens of his own, and if he and the vines live, he will exhibit them at the next County Fair. We notice by our exchanges, that MT. Cone has exhibited the Grape elsewhere, and all speak in the highest terms of the specimens; one pa. per, the Berkshire (Mass.) Eagle, saying that the punches were large, the fruit equal in size to the Isabella, and very juicy and sweat, with brittle skin, very little pulp and good flavor. They ripen about the 10th of Septem- ber." Our own small experience of the Grape, corroborates the above, and we would add, that they appear to us much like the Black Hamburg, and almost equally as fine.
