IMPORTANT FROM CANADA-It will be
perceived from the following order, Just
issued by the Canadian government, that
the attempts of the rebels to obtain mu-
nitions of war in Canada and bring
them across the lines to be used in hos
tile efforts against this country, are
about to be effectually checked.
Whereas, the Governor in council has
deemed it expedient that Incorporation
and also the carrying coastwise, or by
inland navigation, of arms, ammunition
and gunpowder and military and naval
stores, and any articles manufactured
for the purpose of forming part of any
kind of description of arms, from our
province of Canada, be prohibited. Now,
therefore, know we that we do, by and
with the advice of our Executive Coun-
Gil, and by this our royal proclamation
prohibit the expectation from our pro
vince of Canada, or the carrying of
coastwise or by inland navigation, IN
any manner or way whatsoever, of arms,
ammunition or gunpowder or military
or naval stores, or any articles manu-
featured for the purpose of forming part
of any kind or description of arms, or
for the purpose of mounting the same.
Ofau which our loving subjects are to
take notice, and govern themselves &C
cordingly.

OPENING TRADE WITH THE SoUTH.-We
perceive that the government has acce-
ded to the request of the rebel authori-
ties to furnish thirty thousand blankets
to their prisoners in the North, in re-
turn for one thousand bales of cotton,
and that the Union General Payne and
the rebel General Beale are appointed to
carry out the contract. They are now
in the city of New York. This is the re-
opening Of trade between the North and
South, and may lead to further exchang-
es Of merchandise, and ultimately to a
return OF the old commercial relations
between the sections.

A New ENTERPRIsE.-The blockade
runners carrying cotton from Whining
ton, Charleston and Matamoras to Mas
sau and Bermuda have been pretty
closely watched Of late by our armed
vessels, and in several instances were
chased so sharply that they had to
throw quantities Of cotton overheard.
These vessels run always in regular
track after they get outside the block
adj g line, so that ships coming from
the West Indies with fruit have frequent
ly found a rich harvest of cotton a7oat.
for which they occasionally sacrifice
their cargo, permitting it to rot while
they are gathering in the mons valuable
castaways of the blockade runners.
Recently the rebels have been in the
habit Of ripping open the bales before
throwing them overheard, and thus the
sea, for miles in their track, is whitened
with floating cotton. This was too
tempting an opportunity for Yankee en-
terprise to overlook, and we understand
that company has been formed in this
city which employs vessels to follow the
path Of the blockade runners and pick
up the cotton, and that they are making
quite good thing out of it. This is
certainly new kind of enterprise. We
have now not only our blockading
squadron, blockade running squadron,
but squadron of waits and strays.-N.

A Coon WoRK.-The masonic frater
nifty of New York have appointed a
commission to purchase supplies of -four
and coal, and retail them to the poor at
cost price. The city authorities approx
ing the object granted them the use of a
piece Of land at the Five Points. in
which depot has been established. The
commission commenced business on
Wednesday last. Flour will be sold in
pound packages, and coal can be had by
the bushel. The following are the
prices Flour delivered in any part of
New York city below Fortieth street.
5000 per barrel, and $5.35 per half bar
rel delivered to any part of the city
above Fortieth street and in BROOKLYN
and in Jersey City, ten cents extra,
Purchased at the depot, 81 .35 per eighth
barrel, and 30 cents for six pounds. Coal
delivered in any part of the city, Brook
lyn, and Jersey City, $7s5 per ton, large
nut coal, and 1915 for stove coal. Pur-
chased at the depot at 40 and 48 cts per
bushel.

CoNFIGURATIoN.-Af few months ago
we could have gained pretty clear idea
of the situation" or framework of the
rebellion by imagining a cross, the foot
of which to be at Mobile, the head at
Richmond, and the eXtremities of the
arms at Chattanooga and Charleston.
There was time when these four points
appeared to be firm and immovable in
the power Of the rebels Since then
Chattanooga has been entirely displaced,
Mobile has been undermined and rem
dered insecure, and Virginia and Charles
ton are in imminent danger.
Let us now take another view. Rich
mond, Savannah and Nashville consti-
tute the three angular points of TRAN
gle. The distance from Richmond to
Savannah on a straight line is about
400 miles, and the distance from either
= Richmond or Savannah to Nashville is
about 500 miles. The area of this tri-
angle is between ninety-one and ninety
two thousand square miles, equal to
that of the Old Dominion as it was, and
South Carolina together. This, for all
practical purposes, is the present area Of
the rebellion. Grant holds Lee in his
grasp at Richmond Thomas, we believe
will take care of Hood at Nashville,
while Sherman appears to move at pleas
ure in the vicinity of Savannah. The
movements of Foster and Warren are
probably intended to cooperate with
Sherman, and It certainly seems highly
probable that one apex of this rebel tri-
angle will be marred ana obliterated.
The fate of Savannah will almost neces-
sarily involve that Of Charleston ana
Wilmington. ..

THE GREAT FIRE AT BROOKLYN, NY
The New York papers of Monday morn
ing say that the fire at the Brooklye Gas
Works was still burning, with the ap-
parent certainty that every ton of coal
on the premises would be CONSUMED.
The roofing of the northeasterly shed
caught fire on Saturday and ignited the
coal beneath, so that the entire twenty
thousand tons became ignited. The Fire
Department, with three steamers, aided
by five ferry boats provided with en-
gines, were at work Saturday night and
Sunday night, being relieved in the day
time by other steamers and hand en-
gines. The cost of the coal used by the
company is ten dollars per ton, and the
entire loss would therefore amount to
two hundred thousand dollars, upon
which There is an insurance Of only
twenty-five thousand dollars, all in New
York Offices.

RECRUITING. - We learn IRON Col.
Brown of the Provost Marshars Of.
fee that six recruits We're brought in
and accepted yesterday. He also states
that the people in the surrounding
towns are waking up to the subject OF
voluntary enlistments, under the appre
hension that ere long there may be an
other call for men, They rightly con
clude that it will be much easier TO III
the quota of Vermont, whatever it may
be, by commencing early and recruiting
gradually, than it would be to wait till
the very last moment, and have the
whole work to do in great hurry, and
probably at great expense.

ONE OF THE REsU1rs or Eu.ro,p.rro,

ONE OF TIE RESULTS OF EMANCIPATION.
The Baltimore American says the ah-
clifton of slavery in Maryland is being
attended with the good results the
friends Of Emancipation expected. A
steady stream Of emigrants from sister
States, particularly Pennsylvania, is
pouring 10, now that "free labor" has
become a settled fact. In every county
of the State large sales of land have
taken place during the past two months,
and the purchasers are men who intend
to settle, and who do not purchase for
the sake of speculation. The Denton
Union, published in Caroline county. re-
ports the sale Of three farms at good
prices, all to Pennsylvanians. The SOM
erset Herald says that 'more land is
wanted ; Northerners continue to visit
this county (Somerset,) looking for
farms" Thus it will be where, Save.
ry Is abolished, Emigrants will flock
in, land rise in value, and the march Of
improvement begin.

RAILWAY INcIDENT.-On Monday a
wood-chopper near Burnside Station, on
the Hartford, Providence and Fishkill
Railroad, accidentally felled large
chestnut tree directly across the track
just as a passenger train was advancing
on descending grade. The frightened
man dropped his ak, turned pale and
jumped up and down with terror as he
awaited the uncertain issue. The en-
gineer saw his danger, reversed his en-
CINE at once, and signailed for 'braking'
up the train; but the momentum was
so great that it could not be easily
checked, and the cow catcher struck the
ponderous trunk, parted it as though it
had been walking stick, and the rain
dashed on for several rods before it was
brought to a full stop: The chopper, on
being asked what he was trying to do.
replied with an air of great concern,
that he chad rather gin five dollars than
had that tree fall on the track"
