CoTros OF SOUTHERN ILLINoIs.-We
were informed, while at the State
Fair, that the cotton crop Of Egypt was
yielding much better than was anticipated
Immediately after the frost. Many fields
at that time considered worthless will
Weld 100 lbs. o. more to the acre. This
is not, of course, universally the case. The
quality Of cotton grown there is stu
claimed to be fine. The st. Louis News,
Of Oct. 9th, mentions the receipt of a
specimen from field Of Fifty ceres upon
the farm Of Mr.. Vallette, near Cairo, that
is pronounced. by cotton dealers there,
to be equal TO any brought from the South.
The yield of this field will be but little
short of an average crop. - Prairie

France and England Cewea BY
Russlas
The Paris correspondent of the N. Y
Times writes:
The insults OF Prince GortschakOff,
say the ministerial Press, are not TO &c
nnavenQed. Russia is not to be allowed
to dictate to Europe, the Gar is not to
mock at us with impunity. But how, dc
you suppose, is France going to be re-
venged ? NJ. Drouyn de Lhuys is going
to reply to Prince Gortschakoffs -lasl
note and if possible, coax England and
Austria to do the same. This elast
word, We are told, is to be an ultima.
tam, but fince no one processes to be
ready to go to war, Russia may treat the
ultimotum as she has the other notes of
the three Powers, with an Indifferent con-
tempt. We shall be curious to see how
far France at least will wade into this
complication of humiliatious.
The London correspondent of the same
paper says:
There is some excitement about Poland,
but only in the newspapers. Russia is
preparing for war with all her gigantic en-
ergies. The Gar was never SO popular.
The Emperor Of the French cannot
venture upon war without tho active
concurrence of England az. Austria
England fears that Russia will have an
ally in America. She has a vision of a
thousand Alabamas issuing from Aperi-
can ports aud blockading her own. Only
one thing can make England engage in
war with Russia and that is the threat
of war with France. But a war with
Russia is six months distant in any case.
l have no belief in it. The Polish affair
will be settled during the winter.

Mr. LORD: In dispatch from Score

America, dated All day of August last
and now just received, / am instructed t.
consider the mission which brought me
to England, as at an end, and l am d
rected to withdraw at at once from thi.
country.
The reasons for terminating this mis-.
sion are set forth in an extract from the
dispatch which have the honor to COM
municate herewith:
"The President believes that the gov
ernmcnt of Her Majesty has determined
to declinethe overtures made through you
for establishing, by treaty, friendly rela.
tons between the two governments, and
entertains no intention of receiving YOU
as the accredited minister of the govern.
ment near the British Court. Under
these circumstances, your continu ed resi-
dence IN London is neither conducive to
the interests nor consistent with the dig
nifty OF this government, and the Presi
dtnt therefore requests that you consider
your mission at an end, and that you
withdraw with your Secretary from Lon.
DON"
Having made known to your lordship
on my arrival here, the character and pur
poses OF the mission entrusted to me by
my government, / have deemed it due to
courtesy thus to make known to the gov.
eminent OF Her Majesty, its termination,
and that shall as directed, at once with
