From Halifax.

HALIFAX, November 1.-THE repeal
controversy continues here. William
Armand has published n letter in reply
to that of Mr.. Howe. He is confident
of bringing about repeal in England,
and anticipates the failure of Canada to
coucilate Nova Scotia.
judge Marshall has also written
another letter in which he says that
Mr.. Howe counts too largely on the
stea@last devotion OF the people, and
warns any person in Office that if they
support Howe their career will be short.
The rcpealers generally think that
Howe cannot influence Nova Scotia, but
fear that his course will have immense
influence in England.
