is always a sign of oapitsl withdrawn and of the demand for labour diminished.Land ; under cultivation by the plough affords i from three to four times as much food and employment a# land lying permanently in grass.This process of the diminution in the quantity of cultivated land has been going on in Ireland for several years, concurrently with an enormous emigration.A large portion of the small farms have already been absorbed and turned into grazing land ; and there is some appearance that Ireland will again go through the process through which it passed about 130 years ago, when thera was a very extensive consolidation of firms and a very general transformation of arable land into pasturo and grazing.Nothing has a greater tendency to produce this icsult than a feeling of insecurity amongst the owners and cul-vators of tho soil; and we cannot wonder that the landlords and tenants of Ireland, who havo lived during the last two or three years in tho midst of a grand conspiracy, organised for the purpose of confiscating tho soil of Ireland and expelling the present proprietors and such of tho tenant# a# nre not disposed to join the conspirator#, should have somewhat diminished the West, both of the United States and Hud son's Bay territory, pouring its volumes of \u2022ni0UDl (,f capital and labour employed nuticultural wealth by this route to Mou- in the cultivation of the soil.Indeed, the treal, and from thence to Albany and Que- wonder is tho result of so f/rraidable and bee to Europe.I see tlio vast metallic | desperate a conspiracy should have been bo the shores of the Superior and | aod tbat tho cultivation of tho .oil fields Huron and Upper Rivers pouring forth their wealth.I see the unemployed mil- dust can both be bad hero for the mere cost ''«\"Joi't,ie \u201cId world hast-niog to this land ol plenty, and I behold Montreal the un of gathoitng.Wo understand that a strong detachment of the Royal Canadian Rifles, now stationed at Kingston, has becn ordered to proceed to Frotcott on tho 15th instant, and will remain there till further orders.Reported far the Quebec Mercury.THIS EYEXI.WS DESPATCHES.S7.V O'CLOCK.Very Latest by the Cable.LONDON, Oct.17, 2 P.M.Consol# 93 5-16.U.8.bond#.08J-, ex coupon.Illinois ('entrai, ~ï\\.Erie, 44J, L1VERFOOL, Oct.17, 2 P.M.Cotton moro active and prices unchanged.Breadstuff# dull and declining.Corn 47t9d.Wheat, II# lltd lor red western, and 17# for Califon-i 1 white.Beef declined to 122# (id Refined |ctroleuiu declined to Is 5Jd.Other articles unchanged.PARIS, Oct.17, NOON.Bourse heavy.Rente# declining.It is said that buckwheat and tho late sowed wheat have suffered considerably near Quebec, from (lie frosts of tho past lew weeks.In some place# the oats have becn scalded.In the district between Quebec and Montreal, wheat, barley and oat# arc reported a# being quite superb.AH through tlio Eastern Township#, also, everything has turned out well, especially hay, of which there is a large yield.The only complaints we hear arc with regard to the potato blight, which i# causing a great deal of damage in some sections of the Province.A petition has been addressed to the Enr peror Napoleon praying that the season ot the Paris exhibitiun may be prolonged be yond the 31 «t of October.In New Orlean#, according to the reports ot the newspapers of that city, there have been no less titan -16,000 persons who havo had the yellow fever during the present season.doubted capital and queen of this noble Empire.But no.it is no vision\u2014it is a reality of the future.And so I say to you, men nt Mootrcal.open quickly your canal#, \u2014develop your resources\u2014fortify and arm, and pc-ice and plenty wili be the result.I 1 now nidi you all t God-speed.Go on and prosper\u2014Farewell1 The steamer being about to start, Gon.Michel now bade a hasty farewell t his Worship the Major and the officers present* As tho steamer proceeded down the river, a salute of 13 guns was fired.A M E IU C A N NE W S.An Agency of the Quebec Bank hts been ojicned nt Fcmbroke.Mr.Crombie.of Ottawa, is Manager.A train on the New York Central Railroad ran from 8|>cnccrport to Rochester, a distance often miles, the other night, in nine minutes.The Bangor HVitV;
