Havana reached Southampton on the 7th.The City of Baltimore ana City of Limerick reached Liverpool on the 8th.The Times in an editorial remarks that the coincidence of circumstances is favorable to peace.That hopeless dead-lock of the armies in the field happens to come with the period when the people are formally called upon either to inaugurate a new policy, or deliberately approve the old one, This must put one decision or other upon record, and the series of military failures consummated by the dreadful lossss of the present year render it almost impossible to pronounce for war.The Herald thinks there is considerable exaggeration in the estimate formed by some as to the probability of a speedy termination of the American war.A correspondent writing to the Times, thinks if Lincoln proposes an armistice it will ouly be to influence the election and will not lead to peace The Herald says that one thing is certain that if Lincoln be re-elected by whatever means, the threats of the democratic party to resist will be found to be mere talk.It is rumored that the Brazilian Government had rejected the propositions for a renewal of diplomatic relations with England, recommended by the Portuguese Government and accepted by the British Cabinet.France.\u2014The Paris correspondent of the Daily News says : A general opinion prevailed that the Emperor\u2019s health was in a very unsatisfactory state.The Paris Bourse on the 7th opened heavy, but subsequently improved.Rentes closed at 66 70 India and China.\u2014Telegrams from Shanghai announce an important

England has advanced its rate of discount to 9j per ctnt.News via Greencastle, Sept.9th.\u2014The Times city article says a glance at the bank return will show there could no longer have been any hesitation in raising the bauk rate at his time.An augmentation ot reserve should be steadily taking place in preparation for payment of October dividend, and instead of an increase there has been a diminution.The stock of bullion is likewise without improvement, the foreign amounts that are carried to the bank being completely absorbed for internal circulation.So long as these features continue, so long must the rate continue proportionable to the advance.There is nothing in the situation to inspire either surprise or regret The publie if they think the terms for accommodation too high for the welfare of the country have the remedy in their own hands.Evi dently for two years past, the majority of our people have been under the impression that there was more to be gained by sending money abroad than by keeping it at home, they have established banks to supply capital at almost every important city of the world and rival companies to lend money to land owners;in India on mortgage, the islaads of the Indian seas, Australia, South America, Canada, and the continent of Europe.Not content with the fields thua_spread before them in connection with honest governments, some capitalists have thought that they could still spare a couple of millions sterlio g to prop up the Finance Minister of Spain.So long as this profusion prevails any complaints of the dearness of money must be worthy only of ridicule.It is absurd to expect that we can part with our money to foreign applicants, and that it should not rise in proportion.Exactly as the supply diminishes at home, the bank discount will advance, Oonfedzrate Crbisbrs.\u2014Intelligence has been received at Lloyd\u2019s, London, that two more con.federate cruisers had evaded the federal war steamers, and successively run

Sept.17, gives the following account To the rear of our line, picketed by the 1st Dis triet of Columbia cavalry, there was a large field in which there were about 3000 head of fine Beeves The enemy probably learned the fact and resolved to possess himself of our treasure.Accordingly yesterday morning we saw him approaching in front of the 1st District of Columbia regiment in two strong lines of battle, reaching probably 6,000.The enemy moved arouud the cattle and drove off the entire herd, likewise many of the horses belonging to our men.All was done so quickly that it was im possible to get any reinforcements in time to check the movement.A brigade of cavalry under Gen.Davis and another party under Gen.Kautz have been sent out with the view of intercepting them.The Herald\u2019s correspondent says, a télégraphia construction corps engaged in putting up the wire between this and Fort Powhatan, numbering 40.men, with 6 wagons, 36 mules, and 20 miles of wire, Here also captured.la the pursuit we first came upon them in force at a small creek near Herkneyville, on the Jerusalem Plank Road, where we found them strongly entrenched beyond the stream, with the bridge Yellow Fever at Bermuda.\u2014Not many days ago it was onr duty to mention the departure from this country of a.xxuoqYjo* of I3ailita.ry Sur- geons ordered to Bermuda, to render suen poor lifers m-Viiisl \"feiyna'attacked by yellow fever.We added a few words, suggested by the circumstance, on the heroism of the nobl?profession to which these gentlemen belonged and the greatness of that courage, which in cold blood and yet calmly dares to affront the dangers of a pestilential epidemic, at the call of duty.The apprehensions which we then felt for this devoted little band, have been, we regret to say, only too sadly and too speedily realized.Early last week we had intelligence that several of the number bad been stricken with this terrible malady within a few days after their arrival in the island, and on Thursday we received Halifax papers containing rumours of the deaths of more than one of them.As these reports, however, according to their purport, left some room to doubt, at any rati, as to the fate of some of these gentlemen, we refrained from making them public, hoping that by some of those sudden changes which occasionally take place in the worst stages of such disorders, those who were despaired of might yet be restored.On Saturday, however, official information was received here which renders it only too certain that Dr.Clarke, who was in service at Quebec, and Dr.Milroy of the 30 th Regiment, forming part of tne garrison here, have succumbed before the fatal epidemic, Surgeon-Major Barrow has also been taken dowa by disease ; bpt wo believe that in his case the attack was complicated by dysentery, which, ac cording to Southern traditions, tends to weaken the influence of the more destructive malady, and at last accounts be was reported to be recovering.' Dr.Ferguson, also of the 3Uth, however, has been attacked, and was not out of danger when the last advices came away.Dr.Harrison, R.A., has been reported among the victims; but we are glad to have reason to think that this report is so far erroneous.Still out of eleven surgeons who left this city on the 17 th ultimo, we have had within thirty days the intelligence that five have been assailed by the fever, and that two, if not three, have died Our St.John, N.B.exchanges also inform us that Dr.Ewell, serving on the staff in that city) is among those who have fallen, and that Dr Lloyd, from the staff of the same garrison, has become dangerously ill, and was not expected to recover.As an example ot the extreme sudden, ness and virulence of the attack of this frightful agent of the King of Terrors, it is mentioned | that when the steamer St.George was leaving the island on her last trip, five men rowing to the vessel in one boat, were attacked before they came alongside and had to put back and go into Hospital.The 31st ultimo was observed as a day of humiliation and prayer.No one can read this record of useless devotion without a feeling of pity for the brave men who have died in the vain effort to save others.Some of them had regular regimental duty, and thus were not brought into contact with the danger in the ordinary course of their duty ; but were sent to meet it as an extraordinary service, which was rendered apparently more necessary from a deficiency in the medical strength of the army, caused by the small remuneration which is awarded in that branch of professional life, to men, from whom now-a-days the very highest attainments are rigorously demanded.Some were just on the eve of promotion when they were thus sent to what they well knew was certain death to some of them, though none could tell who would be taken and who left.Perhaps, however, the saddest part of the subject is that all this sacrifice of valuable life by officers wbo, as we have said, went into the danger instead of merely standing their chance when it came to them, has been probably utterly useless.There is no reason to think that beyond that sort of careful attention which can be best rendered and is best understood by the inhabitants of places subject to the infection, any really valuable assistance can be given to persons stricken down with such disorders as yellow fever, cholera, or the plague.Drugs are so useless or so uncertain, that the most opposite of the supposea remedies seem to yield on an average the same number of cures, and as many sick recover without as with assistance from science\u2014in these cases vainly so called.Few of the gentlemen who left Montreal a month ago on this dangerous duty, had ever seen yellow fever, or knew so much of its traditional treatment as any ordinary resident in Southern climates sub-' jeot to the visitations of the disease, They had less immunity from attack than persona who have become acclimatized ; and they had to make acquaintance with the form of death which they were called to combat, in hourly expectation of themselves becoming its prey They were, therefore, exposed to the maximum of risk for the minimum of useful eervice.They, however, have done their duty, as all members of the service to which they belonged do on all occasions, and the end of (hose who have fallen has been not less noble than if it had taken place on a bloody field.We hear that there is now some talk of removing the troops from Bermuda to a healthier climate, until the epidemic shall have subsided, and, so far as we can judge of the character of the disease, that is the only measure which offers any reasonable prospect of diminishing the effects of the calamity.We fear greatly that to send more medical men is but to offer more sacrifices to the insatiable ravager.The Firewood Question and tub Grand Trunk Railway.\u2014Of course there was at the meeting last night a great deal of talk that could not in the nature of things tend to any good, even if the suggestions of the speakers could be carried out.The wood trade mast, like every other, stand or fall by itself.No public Providence general can provide tor the want half so completely as is done by the enterprize of dealers, stimulated by the hope of profit, But it is evident that for a trade such as this, as for an army in the field, the one great want is that of transport.When the city was smaller the river enabled ns to obtain sufficient wood from within a convenient distance from its banks.Now the demand is much larger, and the supply of course, every year smaller, in proportion as the wood is cut down\u2014for it is cut down much faster than it grows, and its demolition is of course increased among other things by the demand for railways.It was expected, however, that railways by creating means of transport into portions of the country not accessible from the rivers, would also give ns the means of getting at more firewood.This seems not to have been effective to the purpose of lowering the price of that necessary article, and the Grand Trunk is blamed for not bringing in the woodi as it was promised would be done when the citizens were asked to make sacrifices of one kind or another to build the rudimentary member of the present Grand Trank\u2014the St.Lawrence and Atlantic Railway.It seems to us that it would he carrying vicarious responsibility very far to ask the present managers of the Grand Trunk road to carry out all the promises made by the St.Lawrence and Atlantic fifteen years ago.But there can be no doubt that a company which controls the whole land carriage of a country, has responsibilities of another kind which are as unique as its own position.It can not be allowed from any desire to make direct or indirect profits to starve or freeze a large population.It is something of this kind of which the Grand Trunk is accused\u2014an accusation incidental to its position.On the other hand it seems that the rise in price this year as compared with last, can scarcely be predicated on this statement, because the quantity brought in by rail last year was too inconsiderable to have exerted much influence on the price.What the Company ought to do, and what the public has a right to demand of it, is that it should give every facility for the transport of this great necessary of life\u2014without favour or affection to individuals, and without any arriéré pensee of providing for its own consumption.No other traffic ought to ba preferred to this.And it ought to do this at the lowest price at whicb it for the sake, alike of the Company and of the public, that the persons appointed at the meeting to see Mr.Brydges will insist on and obtain from him assurances that this will be done.That we think is about all that can be effected, or even attempted with any probability of good results.American News.\u2014Up to last evening we had nothing of the draft which was to have taken place yesterday, and which we may suppose therefore passed off quietly.Our midnight despatches may contain something on that point.There is a singular account of a quadruple rather than a triangular fight on the confines of Mexico and Texas, ending in the capture of Brownsville from the Confederates, for the Fédérais, by a Mexican General just driven out of his own country by the French.We have received a communication, signed Fitzalan, protesting against the City Council involving the city in debt by making further loans for the purpose of building a new City Hall, &c., complains of the frightful condition of many of our suburban streets, and instances Berthelet as one of the sloughs of despond.We think if our friend Fitzalan would pay a visit to our worthy chairman of the Road Committee, who is always to be found in the City Surveyor\u2019s office, from 10 to 12 o\u2019clock, and represent his grievances, the matter will be attended to.De Salaberhy

Sept.3, 1864.The splendid fetes got up by the Empress in honour of the Spanish King-Oonsort have come to an end ; somewhat to the satisfaction of the Parisians, who, though they thronged, with so much perseverance, every spot from which any part of those grand doings could be seen, were by no means flattered that so lavish an outlay should be made for so very small a personage The latter, however, is said to be greatly delight ed with his visit, and well he may be.The cost of the marvellous illumination of the gardens of Versailles was no less than 300,000 francs ; and with the outlay for the other rejoi-cingS| the State-visit to the Opera, the dinners, and bails\u2014her fair Majesty Eugenie must have laid out little less than a quarter of a million in thus welcoming the husband of her former Sovereign.The Queen has sent autograph letters to the Imperial hosts, thanking them for the splendid reception given to her husbend ; and rumour is predicting that the Emperor and Empress will visit Queen Isabella, some time this autumn.It appears that the Prince Imperial\u2014who, though surrounded with splendour, and treated with all the deference of the most exacting etiquette, is brought up with greatest strictness as regards studies, exercise, sugar plums, and pocket-money,\u2014was much disturbed at being unable to purchase a present to send to Queen Isabella.The little fellow is extremely generous ; and as he gives away his pocket-money as fast as he receives it, he finds himself almost always, at the head of an empty exchequer.His purse being quite innocent of coin at the time of the King\u2019s departure, the little man bethought him of sending a rose to the Royal Lady in compliment to whom his parents have been putting themselves to so unusual an outlay of money and trouble.Accordingly he searched the gardens of St.Clond for their finest rose; and having found a half-flower moss-rose, completely to his mind, he carried it to the King.\u201c I have nothing else that I can offer to your Majesty for the Queen,\u201d said the little Prince presenting his flower, \u201c but I hope she will not forget me, seeing that 1 have Spanish blood in any veins I\u2019\u2019 Tile King, adds Gossip, was so charmed with this piece of childish homage to his royal wife that, on reaching Madrid, he immediately sent for the Court jeweller, Somper, and ordered a magnificent case, in which the rose in question is to be preserved, as a souvenir of the juvenile giver.Two other youthful heirs of Crowns are just now occupying the speculations of the many-tongued lady.jBoth are believed to be very pro- mising young fellows, and both are understood to be seeking a wife under difficulties.The first of these interesting youths is the Grand-Duke Nicholas, heir of \u201call the Eussias.\u2019 There are but five unmarried princesses of the royal rank now-a-days held indispensable, to eligibility in such alliances ; and of these five, the son dislikes three, and his father dislikes the other two.The son\u2019s dislikes being personal while the father\u2019s objections tire simply dynastic it appears that the latter are giving way in presence of the greater pertinacity of the former, and it is now announced that the youthful Czarowitch\u2014tall, handsome, highly aceomflieh-ed, speaking five languages, and altogether a most captivating\t\u2014is to be allowed to fol- low the bent ofhis affections, and to betroth him-to Princess Dagmar, King Christian's second daughter.The young lady, as I learn from persons about the English Court, is the most bewitching, black-eyed little fairy imaginable.She is extremely small, very fair, with cheeks ss rosy as a milkmaid\u2019s, and a mass of curling black hair.She is very clever, active, full of life and fun, incessantly in motion, the darling of the family, aad the favourite of all But for her nose, which is inclined to turn up, she would be one of the most beautiful women of the day ; as it is, and despite this drawback, she is by far the most beautiful coexisting unmarried princesses.She beats the name of on old-world Queen of Denmark, so good, and so universally beloved, that she is still reverenced by the Danes as \u201cthe Darling Queen.\u201d As the second of the scions of royalty alluded to, Prince Umberio, is also on his way to Oopennagen, gossip, which had just arrived at the conclusion that Victor Emanuel's heir is not to marry Princess Anna Murat, was busy betrothing him to the fair Dagmar.But it now seems tolerably certain that the latter is to be appropriated by Czarowitch.Gossip is speculating as to the motives of his visit, and anxiously looking out for a wife fjr the future King of Italy.Italy would greatly like to have a daughter of Victoria for its future Queen, but the unfortunate barriers of creed will too probably prevent such an alliance.Prince Umberto, who is just twenty-one, reached this city on Saturday.Prince Napoleon and Princess Clotilda, were waiting for him at the Station, as were also the IttlUn Minister and a gtoup of dignitaries, deputed by the Emperor to represent him.The young Prince is the guest of his sister, at the Palais-Royal, and has been received by the Emperor with all due re pect, and much cordiality ; but with none of the splendour lavished on ihe reception of the Spanish Consort.The Emperor has just gone to the camp of Ohalons, taking with him the \u201cHope of France,\u201d who, in his corporal\u2019s uniform, is an immense favourite with the soldiers.This camp, with its streets of tents, its thriving gardens, theatres, concerts, statuary, and a sort of \u201cindustrial exhibition,\u201d got up by the troops, and containing a vast variety of ingenious and interesting things, the work of the soldiers, is becoming as favourite a place of resort for the Parisians as alder-shott for the Londoners, The French soldiers being encouraged to exercise the various handicrafts they had practised previous to their conscription, their bazaar offers samples of their skill in almost every species of manufacture.But the fine arts seem to flourish at Ohalons, even more vivaciously than the useful ones ; sculpture, iu all its branches, principally in clay and wood, but also iu freestone, which latter substance, does occasional duty for marble\u2014appearing to bo the favourite nutlet for the efflorescence of militery genius at that congenial spot.Every regiment has its chef d\u2019œuvres ; the host of \u201cworks\u2019 representing victory, the French army, Glory, Mars, and so forth,interspersed with lighter subjects, such as redoubts, windmills, trophies, Ac., being so great as to furnish heavy employment for the detachments of engineers detailed every year, on the breaking up of the camp, to clear the ground for the following season.The camp-theatres give representations famous for the brilliance oftheir scenery and decorations, and the energy \u201cof their acting; young, fair skinned soldiers take the female characters Trophies of arms, intermixed flags, with wreaths of evergreens, and paper flowers (made by the men,) give a gay and ornate aspect to the interior, and when extra lighting is desired, in honour of distinguisnea vlaUpeu\u201e\\hï.tallest grenadici'f-r-rangea'in rows, to enact the part of candelabra.The performances consist of military spectacles, founded on incidents ot the campaigns of the First Empire, the Crimea, Italy and Mexico, varied with melodramas of the most violent type, and the broadest of ftrees.The effect of all these \u201c styies\u201d on therisables of the spectators appeals to be equally severe, even the phlegmatic master of the French legions laughing like a schoolboy at their extravagancies.The \u2018 Punch and Judy\u2019 of the Chalons camp are especially famous.The little theatre in which the incorrigible domestic offender daily murders his unoffending wife is the most ornate of all the public edifices of the camp; its wails are coquettishly draped with pink and white muslin, aud the whole interior is lavishly adorned with gilt paper, \u201c statuary,\u201d and wreaths.The dialogue and incidents of the affair are enlarged and varied at the will of the actors, and always to the great delight of the soldiers.The reception of the Emperor, at the Camp, has been, as usual, extremely enthusiastic ; the Prince Imperial, and Prince Umbarto, also coming in for a good deal of vociferous cheering.On the day of his arrival, the Emperor gave a grand banquet to his guests and the officers ; when the little Prince, admitted to the dessert, exultingly remarked to General Bowebake, \u201c General I I now belong to your regiment I \u201d and in the exuberation of his joy at being again at the Camp\u2014of his former visit to which he has retained a very jubilant souvenir\u2014presently burst out with a few stanzas of the popular martial melody of the \u201c Turco Bono,\u201d just now \u201c the rage \u201d among the soldiers, which he sang with equal aplomb and drollery, to the great admiration of the veterans present, aad the intense delight of the entire Camp, enchanted to learn the honour paid by the little Corporal to their favourite song, At night, the Camp was brilliantly illuminated, and all the bands joined in a serenade under the windows of the Imperial quarters, Next moruing took place a mock battle, which had been planned between the Emperor and the Duke de Magenta.During the banquet, the enemy's army, of infantry, artillery, and cavalry, were [supposed to be advancing on Chalons.The Corps d\u2019Armee of the Camp marched out to meet the enemy, and drive them back on Vouziers.The latter, commanded by the Duke de Megenta, crossed the river Veste below the Camp, and advanced to meet the enemy, commanded by Colonel Bood, first aid-de-camp of the Duke.The various positions being duly taken up, the Imperial party arrived on the ground at eleven o\u2019clock.The Emperor and little Prince, alighting from their respective carriages, stationed themselves on a rising ground commanding a view of the scene.Prince Umbarto, Prince Napoleon, and a brilliant company of officers who had accompanied them, came on horse-back, but presently joined the Emperor.The mock battle was most gallantly contested.The batteries poured forth their heaviest fire, volley after volley of musketry was exchanged between the rival hosts, and the cavalry performed brilliant and exciting charges.Prodigies of valour were performed on both sides ; but the enemy, of course, being in the end unable to maintain their positions, succumbed to the terrific fire brought to bear upon them by gallant defenders of their native land, and retreated from the field, which happy consummation being arrived at by half past twelve, spectators and actors adjourned to lunch, in the evening a brilliant theatrical representation took place, in presence of the Emperor, the little Prince, the \u201cdistinguished guests,\u201d and a concourse of 2,000 spectators, the theatre being crammed to its utmost capacity.The Pope, possibly with a view to mollify the Emperor\u2019s resentment at the fresh refusal returned by his government to the request of M.Drouyn de Lhuys, that the ex-Oourt of Naples should be invited to leave the Roman territories, has just presented his \u201cprotector\u2019 with the sword of Charlemagne, taken to Rome, at some remote period, from the tomb of the hero at Aix-la-Chapelle, and now, probably, to be deposited among the antiquities of the Hotel de Oluny, for the edification ot the credulous, and the gratifi-tion of the amateurs of old iron.country ambitious to take a position of 8000 political importance\u2014to try?It is true iu the case of Great Britain\u2014a first rate power\u2014a country iu direct competition with the Northern States, looked upon by them with great suspi-^ eion, and even warned that any interfer ince of hers would be treated with disdain, suen an attempt it unsuccessful would be attend* d with some loss of prestige and dignity ; but this argument cannot apply in our cas:\u2014in my own humble judgement it would seem that we are in the most natural position for the office of me-diator in this quarrel, and our\u2019s the country above all others which might make the effort with some little probability of success.We are neighbors, a nation on the same continent, and may therefore be supposed to have more natural sympathy with the belligerents.The fact of naving no material power to back our arguments would be altogether in favour of our proposals meeting with a dispassionate consideration.Other reasons of the like kind seem too eridant to.require stating.The time for such a ation seems jast now especially opportune; the gigantic effort yet in prugreas on tue part oi mo North for the capture of the Confederate capital must be soon crowned with success or prove itself a disheartening failure.In either event the moment would _be a timely one for the peacemaker.If, therefore, others see this important matter in the same light, no time shoulr be lost in organizing the necessary arangements.When we consider the horrors of this fratricidal struggle, the thousands and tens of thousands of our fellow-men, turned in youth or in the prime of manhood to untimely graves or almost worse, maimed for life, the thousands and tens of thousands of homes rendered desolate, the waste and perversion of a great nation\u2019s strength and energies, the degradation to our common humanity in men butchering each other wholesale in cold blood,\u2014when we consider these things, does it not seem to be onr duty, however slight the chances of success, to make a united effort, uninfluenced by political feeling or partizanship, undeterred by the risk of failure or over-punetilions regard to the refinements of international etiquette, trusting on Him and His guidance who has said that peace-makers shall be blessed, to save if it be possible, the victims not yet immolated, and to stay those fearful human sacrifices now daily claimed by the insatiable demon.\u2014War.I am Very

ihe Montreal Herald, Septemoer 15, 1864.Sir,\u2014Allow me, through the medium of your influential journal, to ask this question\u2014why has not, or why does not now at the eleventh hour, Canada offer her mediation in the quarrel between the Northern and the Confederate States ?It may be replied that Oanada is but a colony and not an independent power\u2014a sufficient answer to this would seem to be, that Canada has an essentially independent government ot her own, and is quite competent as a country to .undertake such an office, altogether apart trom Great Britain, with whose interests such a mission could not clash, There is another objection\u2014-the unlikelihood of success\u2014of our offer ot mediation being accepted ; but is not the bare possibility that it might be so, quite sufficient to justify the attempt; or rather does it not make it our duty as a Christian country, or even (to put it on the much lower ground) as a latter place being witnessed by thousands of spectators.The Montrealers, however, did not turn out in such largo force yesteruay afternoon when his first performance in this city took place in Guilbault\u2019s Gardens.This was probably owing to the threatening state of the weather.Some three or four hundred people were present, how-f-iWuaa'1nlhvL%jïililteu\u2018\u2018Tv\u2018Sa''îAiflft^e&,'Wi£lf'lE: tense astonishment.The rope was stretched from the roof of Mr.Guilbaut\u2019s house at the front of the gardens over two supports to the other side, a distance of about five hundred feet, and some 60 or 70 feet high.The performance being somewhat delayed the attention of the people wits occupied by a dealer in jewelry and other wares which he dispensed at exceedingly low rates, and then gave the people back their money.No doubt many ot them found i hey had paid dearly enough for their whistle in the cud ; but suddenly every eye was turned in an -other direction.Farint had made his appearance, dressed iu tights, bare headed, aud carrying his ponderous balancing pole, which weighs we believe, one hundred pounds.He ascended the,rope from the rear of the gardens, going up at a steady pace, every movement being eagerly watched by the breathless spectators beneath.When Farini reached the middle of the rope, between the two supports, he stopped, and sitting down on the rope coolly proceeded to strap his balance pole to it.Free of this encumbrance he commenced a number of feats, turning somersaults over the rope, lying down flat on his back and across it, with arms folded, standing on his head on the rope, and suspending himself from it by one hand, then by his feet, and in fact performing so many daring acts that not a few of those who silently watched him appeared to be awe struck at his temerity, at length he again seized the pole and completed his trip over the gardens, landing on the ro f of Mr.Guilbaut\u2019s house just ten minutes after ho started from the other side.A burst of applause greeted his appearance there ; but Farini did not seem in the least discomposed, but walked over to one of the chimneys and gave some directions to the men below wiih respect to tightening the lines on either side which kept the rope trim in its place.He next proceeded to return, but this time walking backwards.His progress was of course slower than before, and every step was evidently taken with the greatest care.The wind was high, and an involuntary exclamation of alarm escaped from some of the spectators as the daring performer seemed to ba swayed; about in his precarious position.But Farini was equal to the task he had undertaken, perhaps thought it a comparatively easy one after those he has lately accomplised, and he reached the end of his journey in safety, amidst the coeers of those present, who were evidently greatly relieved at seeing him once more safe on the platform from which he started.The return trip was made in about five minutes.Without waiting toj rest, Farini got himself into a sort of sack, with holes in it for the arms and feet, but which passed up over his face and head, being fastened above, thus completely shutting off the view of every object outside.Having borrowed a hat which he put on, he slowly commenced h a perilous journey in this condition.His steps were now taken with extreme caution as one false move might have proved fatal.The spectators followed him with anxious eyes, especially as the wind seemed to catch at times in the loose sack as in a sail,doubtless rendering the task still more difficult and trying to the performer.A long time it seetued to take to accomplish the trip, which was watched with the most intense interest by all present.He reached the end of the rope, however, just ten minutes after starting, and when he had taken off the pink ccyering, which gave him such a singular appearance, he was greeted with shouts of applause.Having put away the sack, he proceeded to return.The baud, which had been playing throughout the performances, now set up a lively air, and Farini, who certainly had not much to dance upon, went through the steps partly on the rope, and partly iu the air, in such capital style that fresh applause followed him.Haying accomplished about three quarters of the journey, he completed it backwards, going down the slope of the rope in that way, one of the most difficult feats of the performance it seemed to us.He was only six minutes in returning.This completed Fanui\u2019s performance for the afternoon ;\u2018but a few minutes after the spectators were called on to witness feats scarcely less astonishing by L Verreche, an accomplished aerial gymnast.Several trapezes had been erected, about forty-two feet high, and almost before the visitors had turned to the spot, Verreche came flying out of one these with such a momentum that he caught a second about eighty or a hundred feet off, ifnd there lodged himself quite comfortably in à sitting position in the swing.After a moment or two he commenced a series of the most difficult, evolutions, requiring great strength and flexibility of muscle, as well as perfect coolness in their accomplishment.He suspended himself by his hands from the bar, then by one hand, and afteiwards by his feet, and by one foot, throwing himself up iu a moment aud turning a somersault, passing -on so rapidly to the performance of other equally wondetful' feats that the eye could scarcely follow them.One of the most extraordinary parts of the entertainment had still to jeome, however.Verreche hauled up a drum by means of a rope, aud having fastened it in front of him he took the drumsticks in his mouth and let himself down until he was suspended from ihs bar of the trapeze by the nape of the neck.He then took the drumsticks in his hands, aud beat the drum in a lively way for some moments.Dropping the sticks nd the drum, he swung himself up, and then allowed himself to slide down a rope hanging by ÜÔMfftÊÀL IÎEËâLB km MlLf COMMERCIAL CïÂÉËf\u2019TE; TUESDAY, SËPTËMBÉË 20, iU4l \"ibs eide luany of of the the trapeze.These and 1 his share.Gentlemen who had motiopa to bring other

BROTHERS.Elaoewocd\u2019s Magazine for August.\u2014The present number of Oid Ebonyj\u20191 as this magazine is somewhat irreverently called, is of an average character, there being several very readable articles ; especially, we notice \u2018 Victor Hugo\u2019s Sbakespere,\u2019 and our o\u2019d acquaintance, 1 Mr.O\u2019Dowd upon things ia general, in addition to 1 The Chronic'es of Carlingford,1 and 1 Jerry Butler.\u2019both being advanced a chapter ; besides there is a very pleasant article on \u2018 The Public Schools of England, Harrow and Rigby,\u2019 this will doubtless be cousidered as the best contri bution by many who, like the writer of the present Ikes, has had the good fortune to receive what education hd\u2019has to boast of, at an old foundation school.How vividly the whole sys tern of \u2018 tagging\u2019 comes back to our recollection, hut, notwithstanding some drawbacks, ' The Public Schools of England\u2019 have some records they o -n point to with pride.One other article remains to he noticed, the political one on the recent \u2018 Vote of Censure\u2019 debate in the English Bouse of Parliament, which loses any little value it may possess, from the tone of bitternees that pervades it throughout, and its fierce antagonism to Lord Palmerston and his Government.Dbahatis Personae.\u2014Poems by RobertBrow-ning.On receipt of this volume, we wrote a hasty notice, speaking well of it as a book, that is in a typographical sense, rather than of its literary merits ; but, having since devoted some leisure to its perusal, we have great pleasure in speaking of it as a collection of very pie sing poetry, well worthy of Mr.Browning\u2019s great fame :\u2014\t.,\t, It speaks much for Mr.Browning\u2019s character as a poet, that such a critic as Walter S.Lan-dor sings of him; \u2014 \u201c Since Chancer was alive and hale, No man hath walk\u2019t along our roads with steps So active, so inquiring eye, or tongue So varied ia discours;.\u201d We dismiss the little volume with a hearty commendation, and to do its author justice, we extract one verse, which may be regarded as a very hopeful creed It\u2019s wiser being good than bad ; It's sa'er being mild than fierce ; It\u2019s fitter being sane than mad.My own hope is, a sun will pierce Tne thickest cloud earth ever stretched j That, after Last, returns the First, Though a wide compass round be fetched ; That; what began best, can\u2019t be worst, Nor what God blessed once prove accurst.\u2019\u2019 The Tbial ; Mona Linss of the Dairy Chain.\u2014This book will be welcomed by tbe admirers of Miss Yongo\u2019s writings, (and their name is ]egion)as the latest and by no means the worst produciion of her pen.The story is well told, and the interest fully sustained throughout ; it is quite unnecessary to give even an outline of the story, as we recommend it as more profitable than many sensation novels of the present day.We may add that it is published by Messrs Appleton k Co , and is got up in their usual creditable manner.fOY TELKGBAPH.J MISNISHT JESWrSKS.Arrival of ilia Sidoii- Halifax, Sept.19ih.The Sidon left Liverpool at one o\u2019clock in the

because it would at once necessitate the raising of the blockade.The Times, in its city article of the Gth,under the feeling of the panic which the peace prospects had created, seeks to modify the financial apprehensions it has raised by arguing that it is premature to regard the peace as certain, owing to the North maintaining the restoration of the Union as one of its absolute conditions.It

upon Mr T S Brown to propose the first resolution.Moved by T S Brown, seconded by Mr, H.Lacroix and resolved that this meeting of the citizens of Montreal view with the greatest anxiety and alarm, the scarcity of firewood for winter use, and that it is expedient to use every exertion with the least possible delay, to take measures to avert the coming calamity.Mr Brown spoke at considerable length in French and afterwards addressed the meeting in English.He was suddenly called on in the absence of other speakers but he was happy to be on and when required.The question of the scarcity of wood was one that appealed to all alike.He would suggest tl at this Meeting go to work in earnest and the result would be that wood would be reduced in price.What the meeting, were really contending against was the still higher prices in perspective-ten and eleven dollars a cord in December and February.The Grand Trunk Company owed it as a duty to Montreal not only for promises made by them but for money actually paid to them to remove the restrictions upon the transport of wood over their line.The citizens of Montreal could com-pell the company if they only set about it to put cars on the road to bring wood to the city and the result would be at once perceptible in the reduction of the price of fire-wood.(Applause) The motion was then put to the meeting and carried unanimously.Moved by Mr.J B Homier seconded by Mr Geo Bowie, and resolved in consequence, that a enmmittee of nine citizens be named at once to take and adopt such measures, the most fitting to ensure the ordinary required supply of fire-wcod.Mr Homier in proposing this resolution said the scarcity of wood was not on account of ex.haustion of the magnificent forests nor of the declining vigor of the wood-cutters, but to the Grard Trunk Company who for purposes of agrandizement prohibited transport of wood over line.That road was the ruin of Canada and the managers, faces should redden with shame when they contemplate the misery the unfjrtunate poor of this city may be reduced to during the coming winter.Coun.Bowie in seconding the motion said that the Grand Trunk owed it to the citizens by solemn pledges entered into when the citizens were asked to take stock in tbe road that it should now be opened for the transport of wood in this time of extremity of the poor of the city.The city gave them ®50,000 to help them build a denot, and now they would not bring as much as a load of wood.The Company should, if they do not yield to the demands of the citizens ¦ by fair means be forced to it (Great applause ) Moved by Mr.Geo.Swinburne, seconded by Mr.C.Quevillon, and resolved that Messrs.McGee, T.S.Brown, R.Laflammc, Adolphe Roy, Coun.David, Coun.Bowie, James McDonald, ur.Leprohon, R.Trudeau, and M.Laactot, form that Committee.Mr.Swinburne made a few remarks in support of the motion, when Mr.M.Lanctot was called on loudly to address the meeting.Mr.Lanctot said that he was in sympathy with the meeting, because its members wire in sympathy with him ; and the bond of sympathy consisted of the interest all felt in the comfort, the health and the prosperity of their families now put to hazzard by the schemes of the Grand Trunk Railway Company.The meeting should show that Company it was their interest to deserve the sympathy and friendship of the people of Montreal, and then tho Company would be more ready to do justice to the city.Their interest was ail that ever had governed the Company, and if they found their hostility towards the citizens of Montreal returned they would be compelled to do justice to them.A Mr.Murnie here took the platform, and addressed tne meeting.He said there was another monopoly of which he heard nothing said.That was the monopoly of the wood-dealers whose wood-yards were crowded with wood to excess, averaging in quantity as high as in previous seasons.This monopoly should likewise be put down.He did not believe it right to restrict private enterprise, but he did not see the justice of permitting wood-dealers to occupy onr public wharves to store wood on and hold it thereat exorbitant rates to thé injury of those who pay tor these wharves.That wood was at present monopolized by the dealers was clear from the fact that coal was on the decline or at least at a stand still, while wood was advancing, He thought the Corporation should pass laws prohibiting the storing of wood on the wharves longer than a certain time after it was received He advised the formation of clubs or companies for the purScase of wood in the country, and to supply the means of bringing it to the city.Moved by Mr.Joseph Grenier, seconded by Mr.James Macfarlane, and resolved\u2014That the said Committee be delegated to the Grand Trunk Railway Company, and to express to the said Company the anxious wishes of the citizens of Montreal to have its active co operation in the present unfavourable circumstances, so as to avert the coming calamity.Councillor David was enthusiastically called to the platform, and said that he was surprised to see none of those present whose uames had been published as calling the present meeting.He explain.-w'uàh'ibS/\u2019-.iitr\u2014baa no control of the were responsible for Ufer'rudnmmissioners alone tion to the storing of wood there.He saw tflai his name had been placed on the Committee, but he would have prefored to hive seen that of some person whose influence wi.h the Company would be greater.He hoped much however, from the presence and influence of Mr.McGee on the Committee, who, being a member of the Government, from whom the Grand Trunk had received many favours, would be ab\u2019e to do much for the object of the meeting.(Applause.) The resolution was then unanimously adopted.Moved by R.Trudeau seconed by Louis Rivet and resolved that the citizens af Montreal, duly represented by this meeting, forcebly express the hope that the Grand Trunk Railway Company will consider it their duty to use every available means to bring fire-wood to this city, and thereby give effect to the hopes entertained and the inducements held out to the citizens of Montreal at the time of the construction of the St.Lawrence and Atlantic Railway, now forming part of the Grand Trunk Railway Company.This resolution was likewise adopted without a dissenting voice.In fact, the unanimity of the meeting was remarkable.All seemed to take the deepest interest in the question involved.Tbe greatest attention was paid to the speakers, and only when a point was made which elicited the applause of the audience were there any interruptions.The business of the meeting having been finished, a vote of thanks was passed for the able services of the Chairman and Secretary, after which the meeting adjourned.woman would seek concealment.They suspected also that she might have sought the companionship of a young man whom she had Choice Eetaillng Mg-}\tlasses Coffee, bags Java and Cape Rice, Arracan and Rangoon Raisins, Currants, Walnuts, S S Almonds Shelled Almonds, Filberts Sardines in Oil, Salad Oil\t« Brandy, J.& F.Martell ) \u201e Do, Y.Chaloupin & Co J 0aee3 4 (lr-csks Do, Ohs.Tardeau, in cases Gin, DeKuyper\u2019s in qr-csks end red and green cases Port and Sherry Wines, Liqueurs Scotch Whiskey in cases Fine Old Jamaica Rum Pepper, Pimenta, Starch, Nutmegs, Cloves Pickles, Chicory, Mustard, Tapioca, Sago Maccaroni, Vermicelli, Table Salt Belmont and Belmont Sperm Candles Parafine Candles, Castile & Fancy Soap, Corks Sal Soda.Bi-oarb Soda Copperas, Alum, Epsom Salts Brimstone, Sulphur, Saltpetre Whiting, Button Bine, Black Lead, Lampblack Cotton Wick.Shoe Thread, Twine Castor Oil in tins Linseed Oil in hhds and qr-casks &c,\t&c.,\t&c.September 20.\t225 TEAS, SUGARS, TOBAGGOUc, 1009 half-chests | 150 cattifs i TEA COMPRISING : DOLORSOLATIO, FOR THE RAPID CURB OF NEURALGIA, RHEUMATISM, DIPTHERIA, SORE THROAT, PAIN IN THE BACK, LIMBS, FACE or STOMACH, HEADACHE, T O O T H A C H E, EARACHE, SPRAINS, BRUISES, BURNS, STIFF NECK and DIARRHEA.This remarkable discovery is a reliable remedy for the above named complaints, and differs entirely from all other preparations, being a purely vegetable extract, distilled by a peculiar scientific process, known only to the proprietor.Its success is without a parallel.During a period of eighteen months over one hundred thousand bottles have been sold.Those who have used it admit that no other remedy can compare with it ;
