Our correspondent Abel" who is temporal
rily travelling among the Provincials, in writ
ing us from Halifax, n. Sy "a few days since,
said:
A great many goods are brought here by
citizens of our own loyal land, TO be shipped
on board Of the blockade runners, of which
some leave nearly every day.
Quite an excitement RACES here on the an
ticipated products of the gold fields, which
have this spring shelled out their treasures be-
yond anything previous.
One can live cheap in these parts; rump
steak cts. per pound, veal cts, salmon Is
cts, sugars to 10 cts. first rate tea 50cts.,
clothing very low; such Scotch cloth as your
dandies parade upon their backs can be bought
for ninety cents, which in. the States brings
two dollars, but that is in coin, and American
quarters valued at twenty cents.
Recent orders are to put the fertilization in
the harbor in a perfect state Immediately.
Ship-building is not very brisk, but large
quantitiesof ship timbers are being shipped
TO the mother country.
Your citizens ought to be looking out for
the trade in these parts. Cargoes upon car
goes are brought from Boston. Massachu.
sets and New Hampshire look to the prov
inces to use up their manufactures.

Why Garibaldi left England.

Our London correspondent throws consid-
cradle light upon the question: Why did the
great Italian hero stop suddenly in the midst
of his triumphal progress through the Eng
lish realms and proclaim his intention of go-
ing home? He was unable to bear the pres
sure of bis numerous engagements upon his
physical energies, said Mr.. Gladstone, in Par
liament; but Garibaldi himself, in his parting
addresses, referred to no such cause, and his
italian physician certines that he was in a con-
dition to go through easily with every under
taking that he had assumed. The story of his
ill-health, then, is a pretext-a diplomatic
blind-something TO be told to the disappoint-
ed multitudes of English working-men, who
had counted upon seeing their own red shirt
ed revolutionary fellow-laborer among them
selves. In the palmer language of every day
life, this story is-not truth.
What the real truth was, our correspondent
tells, and to enable our readers to judge of his
credibility we may say that he is an intimate
personal friend of the General, who was with
him most of the time while he was in London,
and under relations which were likely to en-
able him to get at the facts. According to his
testimony, derived from the lips Of the Gen.
eral, the reason of Garibaldi's sudden depart
ure was that the English government had in
timated to him that his continued presence
