The \u201c Hdnoarian.\u201d\u2014A telegram from Barrington,\u2014we learn from Messrs.Edmonstone, Allan & Co., was received by them on Saturday morning, in which it was stated that, with a portion of the mails, some of the Hungarian's papers bad been washed ashore, from which, it was hoped, a list of her passengers might be obtained.No second telegram, however, was received on Saturday night.We, therefore, take it for granted, no such list had been obtained and that, until the news of the Hungarian\u2019s loss reaches Liverpool and we hear from thence, no certainty can be obtained as to the identity of the unfortunates who had shipped on board and were lost in her.We have some ideas as to the probable causes of this most melancholy disaster, but we think it best to reserve their expression until its stunning effect upon the public mind has somewhat moderated.We do not say that it is happy, for happiness cannot possibly have any connection with so direful a calamity, but it is, at least, some satisfaction to know that the catastrophe cannot be attributed to any natural disadvantage in the Atlantic course of our ocean line of steamers.It is hard to blame those who have undoubtedly themselves fallen victims to their zeal in the cause which we have all had so much at heart\u2014that of our Canadian Line of Ocean Steamships,\u2014but we even now know enough to justify us in saying that, but for zeal without prudence, the \u201c Hungarian\u201d would not have been lost off Sable Island, for, in a voyage between Liverpool and Portland, she never should have been there.do it on any other ground.Let the State really call the railroads into existence, and it can do what it pleases with them ; but for the State of New York, after encouraging capitalists in England to embark their money in building railways, to turn round and tell these capitalists that they had merely in view the best use of the railways for a public four thousand miles from their own homes, is a mockery of all pretension to truth.If the State of New York undertakes to manage the railways, it is bound to pay their owners for the use of them.It will not do to dictate the mode of management and charge the cost of the mistakes to other persons.There is, in our opinion, but one fair ground for Legislative interference with railway management, and that we indicated a few days ago.It is, if a great railway company should take advantage of its permanent corporate character to destroy the business of individuals by an unfair reduction in prices, only in order that the company should be afterwards enabled to command a monopoly.Even this case would be very hard to handle fairly.But in principle we think it would be one where the Government of a country might very justly insist that an evil use should not be made of the peculiar circumstances which render corporations in a long game so much stronger than individuals.Municipal Elections, Saturday.\u2014The polling for the third day, began at ten o\u2019clock on Saturday morning.At that hour the crowd was small.As soon as the polling began the room was instantly filled, and until twelve o\u2019clock the number who came to vote was higher, if any thing, than during the same time on the two previous days.The police stationed in the hall bad some difficulty in preserving a passage, the incoming throng being so great, but nothing like a scuffle took place.From ten o\u2019clock till after one His Worship was seen in his usual place, behind the counter, and bowing in his own unapproachable manner to all his friends.After this he retired to his own room and came back at about three o\u2019clock.The Presiding officer, observing that the room was full, and that many of those who had voted did not retire, directed them to make way for others.This was the signal for the Mayor to mount the rostrum again, doubtless to see that everything should be in , order, and in that position he remained for about a quarter of an hour.There was the usual rush as the last half hour drew to a close, but everything was quiet.The votes then stood in the different wards as follows :\u2014 The Pro-Kata Bill in the State op New York.\u2014This extraordinary and, as we think, retrograde measure has passed both Houses of the New York Legislature.Its object is twofold.First of all, and principally, it is to reduce the modern facilities of transportation by railway, to those which prevailed before railways were invented.It is assumed, for the purposes of this bill, that the railways have such superior means of conveyance that, if left to themselves, they will beat canal transportation ; and so, to prevent the people from having the advantage of this greatest of all modern improvements, a tax is to be put on the railways to force them to do no better than the canals did.The next object seems at first, more plausible.It is to prevent railways from carrying any portion of their freight at a less charge than any other portion.That is to say, to insist that all charges shall be levied at a scale per mile, in order that places at a distance should not have any, so-called, unfair advantage over places which are near.Now, we cannot see what moral or equitable right any one customer of a railway has to find fault with a company, if it choose to carry freight over several hun dred miles ot road at a less rate per mile than over fifty or one hundred miles.The relative expenses on the long route are manifestly less than on the short one, and the railway company acts only upon the principles of every other trader, when it transacts wholesale at a less price than retail business.Leaving out of consideration, for a moment, the claim which every proprietor has to manage his own pro perty in his own way, and not only the claim, but the necessity of that claim being recognized, what, on their own ground, have the freighters ot the fatale of New York to complain of in the fact lhat Western produce is carried at a rate per mile cheaper than theirs ?There is just one question, and one only, which can concern them\u2014leaving, as we said, the right of property aside\u2014and that question is not whether other people get their freighting done for less, but whether the charge against themselves is, in itself, an unreasonable one.If not, why do they grumble if the company chooses even to give away freight to other persons ?It is an ad captandum way to put the argument, that the freight of New York State is surcharged, in order that the freight from a distance may be carried cheaper.But this supposes a very gratuitous benevolence on the part of the railway companies to the people of the West.The true way, no doubt, to state the case is, that, New Ycrk, the railways command each its own local and way businass, and can obtain fair prices for it, while, for business with the West there are a number of competing lines, all of so great length, that it is worth while for the freighter to go a little out of his way at the extreme terminus iu order to get upon that road which will convey his goods cheapest across half the Continent.Let us put this case plainly.Suppose two competing lines of railway running West from the Gity of New York, At twenty miles from the city it would not be worth while for a man to travel ten miles with a cart in order to save ten per cent, of the dol lar or two required to transport his produce over the road.But at Chicago, twelve hundred miles away, aud a point to which all the produce of the West converges, a very trifling percentage upon the freight, on so long a route, will determine by which road, of several competitors, this produce shall be sent to market.The railway companies, therefore, only act upon the inevitable laws of trade if they concede advantages, when pressed by competition, which they deny when they have the command of the market.And it must be remembered that it has been from reliance on the probability of doing a great through business that the railway companies have been induced to offer the people of New York State the cheap and commodious transport they now enjoy.It may have been an error ; but they have calculated upon through traffic to give them large returns ; they would not have built the roads for the local traffic only j and if restricted to the local traffic by taxation, which may drive the through traffic to competing routes, they must, it that through traffic be worth anything, raise the prices tor local traffic, or lose money.But, say the advocates of the pro-rata bill, railway proprietors are not owners of property in the true sense of the word.Whether they gain or lose is nothing.«' The law calls rail, road corporations into being, on the ground that their construction and use will promote \u201c the Public g°0li- To this public good or gene-\u2018\u2022ral welfare the pecuniary interests of the «stockholders must be secondary; and this « public good involves the right of the citizen « to the BEST USE of the railroad.\u201d It is upon this most preposterous doctrine, utterly contrary to the history of all such enterprises, that this legislation can alone be justified! The truth is that the law does not call railroads into being at all ; but it gives permission to private persons to call them into being.The ¦reason it gives this permission, which is only required because railroads cannot be made without some infringement of public rights, is, no doubt that it supposes railways are a public good ; but that does not alter the fact that the persons who do call the railroads into xistence do so for their own good, and will not East -\t.\t- 17 Centre\t.\t- 16 West -\t-\t- 30 St.Ann\t_\t- 94 St.Antoine-\t-\t- 125 St.Lawrence\t.\t- 80 St.Louis -\t.\t- 97

the largest crowds yet assembled, and some personal violence was to be feared by a few who were obnoxious to the mob, and who were hissed as they passed through ;\u2014as far as we could see, however, there were no blows given.His Worship having made his appearance on the balcony, was greeted with tremendous cheers, and then proceeded to address his supporters in the usual manner.The mob then dispersed.It is bat just to the City Police to say that throughout the day they behaved admirably.A portion of the Cavalry cantered round the City Hall about half-past two o\u2019clock, but there was no occasion for interference.We believe the militia were in readiness at a moment\u2019s notice; but, happily, there was no necessity for calling them out.We would again warn the friends of Mr.Holmes against delays\u2014bis dat qui cito dat\u2014an early vote is worth two late ones.The Concert on Friday Evening.\u2014Haydn\u2019s \u201cCreation\u201d formed the programme of the third Concert of the Montreal Oratorio Society.Long before Haydn produced this great musicat Epic, he had composed an Oratorio entitled \u201cTobias,\u201d a work possessing no extraordinary merit, and affording but little promise of his future greatness.When in London, he heard Handel\u2019s \u201c Messiah,\u201d and once, after listening to some of its sublime choruses, he said : \u201c This man is, indeed, the father of us all.\u201d He ardently studied Handel, and, on his return to Germany, it was noticed that his genius was fired by the mens divinior of his master.Haydn was sixty-three years old when he undertook the \u201c Creation,\u201d and even with power so matured, employed two whole years in its completion.When urged to bring it to a conclusion, he calmly replied : \u201c I spend much time over it, because I intend it to last a long time.\u201d He unfolded in the \u201c Creation \u201d a multitude of beauties in melody and harmony and a richness of imagery never before conceived in music.It commences with an overture representingChaos.The ear is struck with a dull and indefinite noise, with notes destitute of any perceptible melody : some fragments of agreeable passages are next perceived, but still imperfectly formed, and always deprived of cadence.Afterwards follow half-formed images, some grave, others tender : everything is mingled ; the agreeable and the powerful succeed each other accidentally ; the great borders on the little ; the austere and the cheerful are contounded together.An assemblage the most singular of all the figures of music, of trills, flights, mordenti, syneopes, discords, give a very good idea of Chaos.Still, there is no real music in this cliaotic overture, because the themes are not resolved.In the first part of the descriptive poem angels begin to relate the work of Creation.Nothing can have a more impressive effect than the passage which describes the creation of light\u2014\u201cAnd God said, Let there be light, and there was light 1\u201d Before this fiat of the Creator the chords are gradually diminished, the chorus sing in unison and the piano grows still softer as the suspended cadence approaches ; at last the cadence ends grandly with the words, \u201c And there was light.\u201d This splendid burst of harmony in the resounding key of C, approached by the gradual fading of the sound, actually produced upon us an effect similar to that we have experienced upon emerging suddenly from a dark cavern into the brightness of the noon-day sun.The faithful angels afterwards describe, in afugued passage, the rage of Satan and his accomplices, precipitated into an abyss of torment and endless night by the hand of Him whom they hate.Haydn here employs profusely all that is disagreeable in the enharmonic genus, horrible discords, strange modulations and chords of the diminished seventh, and, in addition to this, the wierd effect of the chorus is greatly increased by the harshness of the words.Then descriptions of the first tempest come, encompassed by floods of brilliant and majestic harmony.The wailing of the winds is heard ; hail clatters upon the leaves and thunder reverberates, with prolonged muffled rollings through the distant vault of heaven.The songs of the archangel Gabriel, especially, display, in the midst of the choruses, singular energy and beauty.One of the airs represents the waters, from the mighty waves of the agitated sea to a little brook murmuring as it glides on through the silent valley.Our minds are tranquillized by the music pour-traying the beauties of the newly-created earth and the celestial freshness of its first verdure.Haydn was very fond of the air, \u201c With verdure clad,\u201d and, it is said, recast it three times.This air is followed by a fugue, in which the angels praise the Creator.The repetition of the subject, which is the essence of the fugue, has the effect of representing the zeal of the angels in their adoration.We next proceed to the rising of the sun.Taking advantage of poetic license, Haydn passes on to the moon, \u201c refulgent orb of light,\u201d rising silently and advancing upwards through the clouds.The first part concludes with the chorus of angels, \u201c The heavens are telling the glory of God.\u201d A remarkable harmonic artifice is observable in the finale of this first part of the Creation, When arrived at the cadence, Haydn does not arrest the orchestra, as in some of his symphonies, but falls into modulations ascending by semi-tones.The transitions are reinforced by chords, which seem, at every bar, to announce the cadence so much desired by the ear, but which is always delayed by some modulation still more unexpected and beautiful, and only when our impatience and surprise have reached their highest point, the cadence does at last come.The second part opens with an air majestic in the beginning, afterwards gay and then tender towards the conclusion, describing the soaring of the eagle, the gaiety of the lark, the cooing doves and the plaintive nightingale.In the tones of the songstress of the night nature is imitated as closely as possible.Nothing that the art contains is to be compared, for various and truthful descriptive music, with the recitative in which the creation of the beasts is related.It begins with the lion, \u201c Cheerful, roaring, stands the lion,\u201d in unison with the more powerful instruments, which fall upon a deep note imitating the roar of that animal.Next, \u201c In sudden leaps the flexible tiger appears,\u201d whose vigorous alertness is depicted in rapid flights by the stringed instruments.\u201cThe nimble stag bears up his branching head,\u201d succeeds in a presto.By the accent here given the notes are ingeniously made to bound in short convulsive steps, which admirably represent the graceful motions of the stag.\u201cThe sprightly steed, with flying mane and fiery look,\u201d follows, affording another illustration of the power of accent.The music fairly prances, and we could easily picture from the vigour of the passage even the snorting of the noble courser.A pastoral strain describes the slowly-moving fleecy flocks, and suddenly there arises a flutter of tremulous sounds announcing \u201c the whirl of a host of insects.\" From this we fall into a line of adagio harmony, representing the worm, in long dimensions, creeping with sinuous trace.All these striking imitations are found within the compass of a single recitative.The chorus, \u201c Achieved is the glorious work,\u201d a figure of great power closes the second part.The third part of \u201c The Creation\u201d is the shortest.It is a beautiful translation of the most pleasing part of Milton\u2019s poem.Haydn paints the transports of the first and most innocent of attachments, and the pure, dreadless gratitude of Adam aud Eve towards the Infinite Goodness which created them.The most ardent joy breathes in every bar of the allegro, and in this part is apparent a devotion of a more than ordinary kind, mingled with fear Lastly, a chorus, partly fugued and partly ideal, terminates this wonderful production with the same fire and majesty with which it commences.Among the most creditable of the performances of this sublime composition, on Friday nighf, were those of the young lady who has sustained the leading part in the two last concerts, and of the gentleman who sang the first recitative, \u201c In the beginning.\u201d There was much feeling in the singing of this young lady, and we were fairly surprised at her success in a part so exacting.The solo and chorus, \u201c The marvellous work,\u201d was given with purity and effect.A gentleman, whom we have not heard before, sang the recitative, \u201c And God said, let the waters,\u201d extremely well, He possesses a fine voice, of extensive bass compass, and often uses it to advantage, but he still requires practice in pronunciation.Indeed, this fault is generally observable iu amateurs The singing was at times indistinct and almost unintelligible.Occasionally the solo singers were a little out of time, and, iu some cases, the light and shade of expression was but feebly maintained.In the recitative, \u201cAnd God said let there be light,\" the voice of the singer vacillated in certain parts between the right note and a semi-tone below, which, we need scarcely say, greatly detracted from the pleasure of the listener.The chorus, \u201c The Heavens are telling,\u201d we thought the best rendered piece in the evening\u2019s performances.The two great airs \u201c With verdure clad\u201d and \u201c On mighty wings,\u201d were received with well-merited acclamations Mr .Gauthier played his short flute solo in the introduction to the third part in a most masterly manner.Of the duetts in that part, we considered \u201c Graceful consort\u201d the best.It was rendered with a unity of execution seldom found among amateurs.The concert was a most successful one, and extremely creditable to the musical taste, science and skill of the ladies and gentlemen who took part in it, and to whom the public are indebted for these delightful monthly performances.It is always unpleasant to find fault with those to whom one feels obliged, but we cannot close these remarks without an observation or two, which we trust the managers will not take in bad part.The comfort of a large portion of the audience on Friday night was sacrificed by the sale of many more tickets than the Hall could accommodate.Our tickets, as well as those of hundreds of others only gave us a right to stand, and when, by the politeness of a member of the Society, we did obtain a place where we could hear the music and take a few notes, we were made the victim of the noisy garrulousness of a person who, apparently incapable of enjoying the music himself, appeared determined to prevent all in his neighborhood from doing so.The first of these impediments to the enjoyment of these concerts it is clearly within the province of the managers to provide against in future.As for the second \u2014the bad taste and worse manners of those who, instead of listening, interrupt the harmony of the music at a concert by their ill-timed chattering,\u2014we trust our hint, if not taken by the offenders, will at least, should they repeat the offence, bring upon them that condemnation from the public, which even they will find it impossible to withstand.to vote that they may not be further annoyed.The same must be done for the timid, who fear the neighborhood of a poll without company or protection.Work from house to house is better than talking iu a committee room, or writing long letters and newspaper paragraphs.There is a class of this community that will talk of going to vote from day to day, and yet leave it undone if they are not forced out ; thus a desirable aud popular man is sacrificed, and the worst candidate elected by the most active yet smaller number of the electors.If Mr.Holmes\u2019 friends wish to elect him, it can be done by working.Let them jump into sleighs, each man taking his own street, with a list of those not yet voted, and give them no peace till they go up aud vote.I am aware this is not a pleasant task; but when gentlemen bring out a candidate, and subscribe for election expenses, it is too bad to be defeated for want of properly working out the details.The passages and counters of the City Hall require looking after, by prompt, active, and firm men, who know their duty and will do it.I have seen many a man come up to vote for one and be persuaded to allow aucther name put on his ticket.Our present voting system is very expensive to the city and the candidates, and might be much improved.One important change should be made at once : that is, the removal from within the City Hall of every man who is not the representative of a candidate, that the voters may pass through without interruption ; and the tickets should be filled up in rooms where no one should be admitted but the voter, each room to be supplied with sworn clerks to write as directed by the elector, where he himself could not do it.If this was done, peace and good order could be kept by getting rid of many mere loafers, who take the opportunity at such times to insult persons they don\u2019t like.Hoping these hints may be of service at this time, am, Yours truly, AN ELECTOR.Vote tor Holmes, and Vote Early.Capture op Some op the Election Rowdies \u2014On Saturday, five men, named respectively Joseph Augé, Louis Beaudry, Patrick Flynn Patrick Flannigan and Jean-Bte.Navarre, were brought by warrant, before the Recorder, on a charge of disturbing the peace, at the municipal elections on Friday.Two other men named Joseph Lachapelle and Joseph Guyon, were brought |up for disturbing the peace at the elections, ou Thursday.The six were remanded to jail, under an escort of volunteer cavalry.They will be tried under the election act., 14 and 15 Vic., chap., 128.On Saturday morning also, a man, named Francois Desjardins, was charged before the Recorder, with having, on Friday, after four o'clock, the hour for closing the poll, made an attempt to commit a breach of the peace.The accusation was proven by Capt.Hayes, and the prisoner was fined in 20s.rom Papers by the st Europa.\u201d The Europa\u2019s mails reached here from Boston on Saturday at noon.NEWS OF THE DAY.[From the European Times, Feb.ll.] We have always felt that if the Volunteer movement, which is now likely to become a national institution, as the militia to be disembodied, is to assume proportions of a nature adequate to the purposes of national defence, it ought to be founded on a much larger basis than the scheme has yet indicated.The working classes will not rest satisfied with exclusion from the movement.At Deptford, this section of society has given unmistakeable symptoms of its dissatisfaction with what is passing around.The working men of that locality met, and passed resolutions strongly expressive ot their feelings.They formed a corps out of their own body, and the expense is to be of so economical a kind that the poorest man can take part in it.This is a phase of the subject which has not yet attracted sufficient attention.It will be difficult to sustain the Volunteer movement when the silly dread of a French invasion has passed away ; it will be found stilt more difficult to sustain if it be, as at present seems likely, a mere middle-class movement.We fondly anticipated that our commercial relations with France, which the new Treaty promised at one time to draw closer, would have dispelled the dread which many amiable people still feel respecting Louis Napoleon ; but the alarm is kept up for party purposes.The Government, as we feared from the first, will pass through a severe ordeal iu getting the Treaty through Parliament, if indeed they succeed iu getting it through ai all ; and to this complication is now added the are running with unusual celerity.Iu Austrian Italy matters do not mend.There have been some slight disturbances at Mantua, which induced the governor of the fortress to issue an insulting proclamation threatening to punish the people ot the city if further ebullitions occurred.The Spanish forces have entered the Moorish city of Teutan and the victory will be hailed with joy at Madrid.From the last-named city we are informed that the Queen has written to the Pope, offering him an asylum, if necessary and the Spanish army if he should need it.The act was not palatable to the Ministry ; but they bad not protested against it.Some stir has been caused in commercial circles, in our own country, by the announcement that silver miiies of vast extent have been discovered in California, the yield of which is likely to be immense.We must await with patience the realization of these promises.THE BUDGET.fFrom the London Economist\u2014'Feb.11.] Mr.Gladstone\u2019s Budget of 1860 is a very different one from that which be expected to propose at the present time when he brought forward his last great Budgetin 1853.Almost all the material circumstances of Finance have changed since ; the expenditure of the country, as Mr.Gladstone is justly anxious to inform us, has augmented exceedingly, and we are now asked to give our assent to financial proposi-tionSjWhich no one would have believed to be even possible seven years ago.The year which was to have been marked by the disappearance of the income tax, is to be signalised not only by its increase, but, also, by its seemingly permanent establishment in our financial system.The fund obtained by the falling in of the annuities, instead of being, as we should have expected it to be, the most conspicuous and important feature of the Chancellor of the Exchequer\u2019s statement, sinks nearly into insignificance, in comparison with the other parts of its contents.The proposal of Mr.Gladstone is a somewhat complicated one, and it would be impossible for us, within the limits of an article, to comment on the whole of its minutiae, even if the time which has elapsed since its delivery were sufficient to enable us adequately to judge of all of them ; but we think the following sketch of the contemplated measure may be deemed sufficient, and may, perhaps, be useful.Mr.Gladstone states the account for the coming year of 1860-61, as follows :\u2014The expenditure he estimates, in round numbers, at £70,100,000, after deducting the expired two millions of Long Annuities.The yield of the various branches of the revenue, including the half-year of income tax at 5d remaining to be received, and supposing the tea and sugar duties to be continued at their minimum rate, exclusive of the war duty, he estimates as follows :\u2014 We cannot but think that it is evident from this explanation that the benefit to trade to be derived from the French Treaty will be slow, whilst its effect upon the revenue will be sure and rapid, and it cannot be expected to stimulate the entire industry of the country to a sensible extent for a considerable time.The repeal of every species of protective duty has our warm approval, and we should be exceedingly glad to see at the disposal of the Government the means of abolishing the duty on paper ; but we own that we are startled at the prospect of all these considerable changes being made simultaneously, and at a time when we are obliged so largely to augment our expenditure.We shall comprehend the difficulty to which we expose ourselves, of necessity, in doing so much so rapidly, by considering the nature of the taxes which Mr.Gladstone proposes in order to meet the large deficiency in his accounts.First, he would renew the original tea and sugar duties imposed for the purposes of the Russian war ;\u2014next, he proposes to put on an income tax of lOd in the pound, three-quarters of which are to be payable within the financial year ; and he also intends to obtain a temporary relief from the credits now given in malt and hops.The account will therefore stand thus : \u2014 Extra tea and sugar credits Malt and hop duties -Income tax - Deducting deficit £ - 2,100,000 -\t1,400,000 -\t8,472,000 11,972,000 - 11,508,000 Customs Excise Stamps -Assessed taxes Income tax -Post Office -Crown Lands Miscellaneous Total £ 22.700.000 19.170.000 8,000,000 3.250.000 2.400.000 3.400.000 280,000 1.500.000 - 60,700,000 L Lecture This Evening.\u2014We would invite the attention of our readers to the Lecture to be delivered this evening in the Bonaventure Hall, by the Rev.George Glaok, M.A.The Subject is one of interest.Exhibition op Canadian Manufactures.\u2014 A deputation of-the Board of Arts and Manufactures, we learn, waited upon the Hon.Messrs.Galt and Ross, when in town on Friday last, and urged on them the propriety of holding an Exhibition of Canadian Industry, in this city on the occasion of the Inauguration of the Victoria Bridge by a member of the Royal Family.The hon.gentlemen expressed an opinion highly favourable to the project, and promised to bring the same before His Excellency the Governor in Council, at the earliest practicable opportunity.Recorder\u2019s Court.\u2014Number of prisoners tried during the week ending 25th February, 63 ; fines imposed, §211 25.The attention of Mechanics and others is directed to the advertisement of a valuable lot of Machines, materials, &e., to be sold, without reserve, by Messrs.Alex.Bryson & Co., on Friday next.CORRESPONDENCE.THE ELECTION.To the Editor of the Montreal Herald.Montreal.25th Feb., 1860.®IR> Having some experience in the manage-ment of Municipal Elections under the present system, I wish to drop a few hints on the subject.When the polling commences, it is nearly useless to expect to carry an election without an organised system of bringing up voters.Vehicles and men must be kept regularly moving from door to door to take out the careless aad indifferent, who somtimes are glad at last other bone of contention respecting the assumed annexation of Savoy and Nice to the dominions ct France.This alarm about the designs of France seems likely to become a chronic disease with us, aud the way in which some of the London journals blow hot and cold on the subject would be amusing if the consequences were not so provoking.Everythinn serves to show that the dread of invasion is merely simulated, for, if it was really entertained, the utmost anxiety would be shown to make every muscular arm in the country available for defence ; whereas, the labouring classes appear to be systematically and by design excluded from all participation.As far as we can judge, the Emperor of the French is doing everything he can to remove the foolish prejudice which exists iu this country against him.He gave long conferences to Mr.Cobden at the Tuileries, and now another earnest free-trader, Sir John Bowring, has been admitted to frequent interviews with him at the Imperial Palace on the Seine.Sir John Bowring has found in Louis Napoleon an apt pupil with respect to commercial freedom, and is said to have been most favourably impressed with the enlightened views which the Head of the State entertains with respect to the removal of those fiscal restrictions which have hitherto acted so injuriously alike to France and England.\"We do not appear to sufficiently appreciate on this side of the Channel the sacrifices which Louis Napoleon has made and is making to draw closer to England.The whole of the protectionist interest in France is exasperated at the new policy respecting a free interchange of the products of the two countries on which the Emperor has entered, and the priesthood, alarmed at the course of events which the Emperor has recently pursued in Italy, are strengthening the hands of the Protectionists.The influence of either of these great bodies is not to be despised, even by a Monarch so powerful as Louis Napoleon.United, their power is truly formidable ; but Louis Napoleon has braved the might of both in carrying out a course of procedure which he might naturally expect would have been favourably received on this side of the Chanuel.Yet some of our public writers are doing all they can to stir up the old animosities which were so strong in the early part of the century.The very name of Buonaparte appears to have revived the terror it once inspired.Mr.Gladstone\u2019s illness has been a very unfortunate event, for even the loss of a few days is a serious matter in various branches of trade which are certain to be effected by the provisions of the Budget.All kinds of rumours precede the annual exposition of the Finance Minister, Some are mere surmises, but people act upon them as if they were visible realities.In Scotland, an impression has prevailed ihat the duty on whiskey will be increased, and the dealers, taking the alarm, have been anticipating the effect by paying large sums into the Excise.It was known ihat the wine duties would be reduced, and the dealers in that commodity have been largely exporting to the Channel Islands, and receiving back the drawback.Even the British brandy manufacturers have taken the alarm, and are now declaring that they cannot compete with the foreign article when it is admitted at the rate which British distilled spirits pay.Again, the income tax-payers are up in arms at the renewal of that impost, which was to have terminated with the very year in which it is now renewed, and so of the various other classes who come under the grasp of the Budget.All this is bad, but worse remains behind.A strong political cabal is forming against the Gorernment, levelled mainly on the ground of the treaty with France, which will bring the discordant elements referred to into a focus, and may possibly end in the distraction of the Ministry.We suspected from the first night of the session that such would be the tactics of the Opposi tion, and this game is evidently to be played out.The vexed question of Church Rates is not settled, nor is it likely to be settled during the present session.Sir John Trelawny\u2019s bill was carried in a full House, but by a small majority, and Mr.Disraeli made a strong and vehement protest against the abolition of this impost, which is trifling in amount aud productive of a great deal of needless irritation.When the division was announced\u2014263 against 234, giving a majority of 29 in favour of the abolition,\u2014the opposition set up a tremendous cheer, for the majority had so dwindled down, as compared with former divisions in the last Parliament, that the result was considered to be a victory.In this light the House of Lords will evidently view if, and so reject the bill.There was considerable force iu the remarks of Mr.Ker Seymour about leaving a bill of this character in the hands of a private member.The abolition will never be forced through Parliament unless it is taken up by the Government, and proceeded with vigorously.Lord Derby tried to settle it during his Administration, but failed.When Lord Palmerston has less work ou his hands he ought to make an effort in the same direction.The continental journals are discussing, with more or less intensity, the annexation question, said to be pending between ihe Emperor of the French and the King of Sardinia.It has been asserted that a treaty for the cession of Savoy and Nice to France has been actually signed, and even the date has been mentioned\u2014the 27th of January.This is stoutly denied in one of the Nice journals.Russia, we are assured, is strongly opposed to such a policy, and has made its displeasure known in strong terms.France has enough on its hands at the present moment, if the accounts are to be ciedited which have recently come to hand, She is preparing for some threatened catastrophe in Uonstantinople, which may explode any hour or any day, and she is about to occupy Tuscany with a portion of the Italian army under the command of Marshal Vaillant.The Marshal\u2019s head-quarters are to be transferred from Milan to Florence, the alleged object being to prevent the annexation of Tuscany to Piedmont until Savoy and^Nice have been hauded over to France.In Naples the police agents are active, on the plea that the secret societies are working mischief, but this is the old cry of \u201cwolf\u201d so often repeated that no one attaches the least importance to it.With more probability, it asserts that an understanding exists between Austria and Naples fnr the formation of an army to operate against Centralltaly and facilities are to be afforded to Austrian soldiers to enter the service of the King of Naples.A recruiting office for this purpose is to be opened in Vienna, and the troops so enrolled are to be sent to Trieste.The Government of Francis Joseph evidently think that stormy events are not distant, for it has stopped the sale of cavalry and artillery horses, and the trains between the Austrian capital and Trieste Thus showing an apparent deficit of £9,400,000.This might seem enough to satisfy the courage of the boldest financier ; but Mr.Gladstone proposes for our consideration large reductions of taxation, which will very materially increase the difference between our expenditure and our income from its present sources.The reductions which Mr.Gladstone wishes we should make are the following :\u2014 £ Reductions consequent on French Treaty.1737000 Reduction of other Customs duties.1039000 Reduction of Excise duties, principal paper duty.1155000 Total.Less compensating additional duties, anticipated increase in consumption, and diminution of expenditure.3931000 1823000 Total loss to revenue.2108000 The small additional duties here referred to are numerous and minute, and we have not space further at present to allude to them.We state the account iu this form, as that which the Chancellor himself adopted.The total sum, therefore, which must be provided for by new taxes, independently of those just alluded to, supposing Mr.Gladstone's Budget to be adopted, is £11,508,000.This sum must strike every one as a very large one, aud any one but a bold Chancellor of the Exchequer would have shrunk at it.It includes, it may be briefly said, the cost of tour great operations,\u2014first, the increase ot the Army aud Navy Estimates to such an amount as the Government consider necessary for the adequate proteotion of the country ; secondly, the cost of the Commercial Treaty with France, from which Mr.Gladstone hopes so much ; thirdly, the abolition of many remains ot our protective system, as ot the differential timber duties, which are to be reduced iu all instances to the level of the duty on colonial timber ; fourthly, the repeal of the paper duty, which is much complained Ct by many classes ; and, besides these four extensive changes, there are many small ones which it is not necessary to touch upon, especially a very great reduction in the number of articles subject to Customs duties.The first remark which must strike every one as they consider the subject is, that Mr.Gladstone proposes to us to do a great deal at once.With regard to the Army and Navy Estimates, the country will not, we apprehend, make any objection to their large amount if only it should be tound that\u2014when we know their details\u2014 they have been framed judiciously, and that the money is really requisite for the substantial protection of the country ; but it is very unfortunate that, just when we have to make such large military exertions, we should be required also, to make such large pacific exertions,\u2014 that we have to give up money just when we want money.Mr.Gladstone tells ns, indeed, that there is a natural connection between the two ; he says that we ought to reduce indirect taxes, at the moment we are increasing our military expenditure, because the relief given to industry by the repeal of such taxes will be far more than sufficient to enable us in other ways to meet that expenditure.We should, he argues, take measures to augment our wealth atihe moment when it is necessary to augment our outlay.He appeals to the well-known triumph of Sir Robert Peel\u2019s policy, aud the increased prosperity which that policy has given to the country.But, it is to be remembered, that Sir Robert Peel began upon an unbroken soil ; he had the unequalled good fortune to break asunder the trammels of a protective system which cramped aud impeded the entire industry of the country ; he removed most of the burdens upon the principal branches of industry : what remains tor his successors are comparatively minor details.We cannot, therefore, anticipate any such growth from reduction in our present revenue system as we experienced from the reductions of Sir Robert Peel.Some growth may be anticipated, undoubtedly, but not a large or an extraordinary one, We may see the proof of this in the instanae of the Commercial Treaty with France, of which Mr.Gladstone has very concisely and clearly stated ihe outline.\u201cThe French Government,\u201d he tells us, \u201ccovenant to reduce the duty on English coat and coke from 1st July, 1860 ; on bar aud pig iron, on steel [except un the kinds now prohibited] from Ist October, 1860 ; on yarn goods, flax, and hemp, including \u2018jute,\u2019 from the 1st July, 1861.The second part of that Government\u2019s engagement is postponed till 1st October 1861, as the French Government is under a pledge to the classes who supposed themselves interested in protection being maintained, But on the 1st of October, 1861, the French Government engaged to reduce the duties and abolish prohibition in all articles of British production mentioned iu a list, in such a way that no duty on any of these articles shall exceed 30 per cent.These articles include what refers to provisions, all tha staple articles of British manufacture.yarn.flax, hemp, hair, wool, silk, and cotton, manfactured skins, leather, books, wood, iron, and other metals, aud earthen and glassware.The French Government engage in respect to ad valorem duties, to have the proper means, and to have the value declared precisely iu the same way now doue in the Custom House of England.1 regard it as a signal proof of the earnestness aud liberality of the Government ol France, that it has adopted administrative regulations for ensuring the effectual exeemiou of the Treaty.Beyond that there is a further provision that the maximum of thirty per cent shallafter a period not exceeding three years be reduced to a maximum of twenty-five per cent.I may also remind the committee that the rate of thirty per cent.to which France is nominally about to pass from a system of prohibition, was the rule nominally adopted by the British Parliament when Mr.Huskisson was Miniater.But the rule was adopted by England in such a way that the duty far exceeded 30 per cent.,whereas, so far as the terms of this Treaty are eoncerned, France gives security that 30 per cent, will be the maximum, and that it will be below that amount on some manufactures.I now come to the English engagements.England, with one or two exceptions, engages to abolish immediately and totally all duties on all manufactured goods of France.There will be a clear sacrifice from the face of the British tariff of those articles.England engages to reduce the duty on French Brandy, irom 15s a gallon to the level of the duty on colonial spirts, to 8s 2d a gallon.England also engages to reduce the duty on French wines from 6s lOd to 3s a gallon.England also engages, further, to reduce the duty fro111 1st April, 1861, in accordance with the quantity of spirit the wine contains, on all bottled wines of whatever strength, but on all wines having 26 degrees and upwards of proof spirit the duty will be 2s ; on wine having less than 26, but more than 15 degress of spirit, Is a gallon.A power is reserved to increase our duties in case we shall increase our excise duties on snirits.We also propose to charge on French articles, subject to excise, a duty corresponding to the excise duty in England, with any extra charges which the English producer may be put to in consequence of the regulations of the departments.\u201d Surplus.464,000 It is evident, however, that this surplus is obtained for the year under discussion by a process that cannot be again repeated.The sum obtained by the credits on malt and hops is avowedly the repayment of a loan made by the State; and the State has no more such loans to call in.The credit taken for increased consumption, diminished expenditure, and email taxes, is considerable.And, on the whole, few persons will doubt that if we make the changes which Mr.Gladstone suggests to us, we shall, before long, be paying an income tax at a shilling in the pound.We have already intimated our opinion that the changes which Mr.Gladstone proposes are for the most part in themselves desirable ; and it would not be seemly, after the interval of a few hours, to pass a judgment on a scheme which must have occupied its author for many weeks.But we caunot forbear to say that our first impression is, that the plan is of too ambitious a character, attempts too much in too short a time, and is not so acceptable to us as a less daring proposal would have been.THE COMMERCIAL TREATY AND THE BUDGET.The London Times asks if there are tidings ot a mutual disarmament behind this commercial treaty.This very year we shall spend £30,000,000 for navsri and military purposes aud national defences.This tremendous amount is the price of suspicion.We are, however, going to work and not to fight with France.Yet now we are paying upwards of a million to our friend to get him to shake hands with us, and ^spending thirty millions in preparations against the possibility of his knocking us down.This cannot be helped, so long as the armaments of France are upon her present scale.The disarmament must be simultaneous if it be to take place, and it is by no means easy to point out a satisfactory mode of effecting it.The Times approves generally of the Budget and Treaty.If there had been no treaty at all, we must, as free traders, have done, next year or the year after, just what we have done now under the treaty, aud the longer we delayed doing it the greater would have been our own loss.The Herald observes that Mr.Gladstone last night seemed to revel in the difficulties of his position, but cannot congratulate him on his budget.Above two million pounds of annuities have fallen in, and where are they ?Gone\u2014 swallowed up by the commercial treaty\u2014gone in French wines and in Lyons silks, and in Parisian knicknacks.They might have been applied to reduce the war duty ou tea aud sugar, or to meet the additional two millions required for our naval defences.But that would have been a very vulgar mode of meeting expenditure.The only channel that Mr.Gladstone could devise for the proper dispersement of this godsend is the commercial treaty with France, and into this channel he flings the whole of the amount.The Daily News says we have got back to the days of grand financial statements and comprehensive budgets.Since the career of Sir R.Peel\u2019s legislation came to a stop we have been living on the capital of a policy which has carried us safe through European revolutions and a Russian war.Last night the political heir of Sir Robert Peel may be said to have entered upon an inheritance which, in spite of careless guardians, is still the finest fortune in the world.In defending his Budget from the charge of relieving the luxury of the rich at the cost of the comforts of the poor.Mr.Gladstone declares that bénéficient legislation consists not in taking a penny or twopence off tea and sugar, but rather iu striking the fetters from industry and expanding the field of labour.This memorable Budget is, iu a word, a Budget of principles, not of expedients ; decisive as an onward movement, but sound in its calculations and safe in its results.All ihe journals extol Mr.Gladstone\u2019s speech.The Herald says no living Englishman could have put so imposing a front on what it terms a hopeless project.The Daily News says he never gave a more masterly proof of close and pressing logic, vigorous couciseness of expression, and clearness of arrangement.The Peers\u2019 gallery was so crammed that Lord Derby himself was obliged to stand during the delivery of the speech, \u201cFrom Sicily I can assure you positively that arrests continue both in Paiertho and Messina among the middle classes for political offences, real or suspected.The persons were from the middle classes, aud in Messina sixteen are known to have been arrested during the fort-night.The director of the police Signor Man-iscalchi has lost his usual moderation, and has become a regular Neapolitan police agent.GENERAL GOYON\u2019S ORDER OF THE DAY AT ROME.The following is the order of the day issued by General Goyon, at Rome, on the day following the late demonstration :\u2014\u201c A manifestation took place yesterday\u2014it took us by surprise we must frankly confess ; we were therefore unable to take the measures necessary to hinder it.The General of Division profits by this circumstance to remind all his good and brave subordinates that their conduct so much approved of up to this day must continue to be such as it has been.The letter of the Emperor to the soverign Pontiff,dated the 31st Dec.last, and made public, has proved to us the veneration aud religious devotion of his Majesty Napoleon III.towards the Holy Father.That letter informs us what we are to be, for we cannot do better than imitate our Emperor.Leaving him to the cares of a policy which he directs himself, we must avoid augmenting his embarrassments and difficulties.Consequently no one must take direct or indirect part in the manifestations, under whatever banner they may present themselves.They are, on the contrary, to be condemned, hindered, or vigorously repressed, in case of need, as order ought to be maiutained where there are French troops.It is a weakness to allow oneself to be deceived by the cries which are uttered; the^e cries are employed by the enemies of order to cheat us.Let us all recollect, therefore, that French soldiers are not to be cheated, and that whoever hopes to dupe us ought to be punished tor his audacity.\u201d THE FRENCH DESIGNS ON SAVOY The Gazette de Nive, of the 5th inst., publishes the following :\u2014\u201c We are authorised and requested to give the most formal and positive denial to the Statement published by the Courrier des Æpes, and reproduced by the Avenir de Nice,\" that a treaty had been signed on the 27th January, for the cession of Savoy and Nice to France.That statement is false.We repeat that we have the highest authority for publishing this denial.The Journal des Debats savs :\u2014\u201c We have stated lately, on the authority of a despatch from Berne, that the government of the Hel-vetien Coufederation had officially contradicted the rumors current about cetain protests having been made against the cession of Savoy to France.But the contradiction of the Federal government has no reference to the protests attributed to it respecting the eventual cession of Savoy to France.The Swiss goveru-ment wishes above all things the maintenance of the status quo, and demands no modification whatever.But foreseeing the case when, in consequence of Piedmont\u2019s considerable aggrandisement in Italy, or the fulfilling of engagements previously made between Piedmont and France, Savoy might change her master, then and only then the Swiss government is disposed to show that Chableis, Faucigny, and the portion of the Genevese district lying to the north of Uss brook, should become a part of the Coufederation.We believe we know that this is the attitude of Switzerland on this question, and the more the affair ioterists the French public the more it ought to wish to know exactly how it is viewed by the several powers, whose assistance may be necessary to solve it.\u201d The Paris correspondent of the Morning Herald says :\u2014\u201c I have received from a reliable source highly important information.Orders have been sent to General Vaillant to occupy Tuscany with a portion of the 60,000 under his command, and transfer his head-quarters from Milau to Florence.The pretext for this movement is the apprehension of an invasion of ihe Marches by the forces of the King of Naples, but the real cause is to be found in the difficulties which have arisen between France and Piedmont relative to the annexation of Nice and Savoy to the former, and the annexation ot Central Italy to the latter.France claims from Piedmont, Savoy and Nice, in exchange for Lombardy, and opposes the annexation of Tuscany and Romagna.Cavour is attempting to outwit the Emperor\u2014he is determined to annex the whole of Tuscany and Romagna at any risk, and refuses to part with the provinces which form a neutral barrier between the dominions of Victor Emmanuel and those of his ambitious and unscrupulous neighbour.The occupation of Tuscany by French troops is intended to prevent the annexation, and may possibly lead to complications upon which it is useless for the present to speculate.\u201d THE STATE OF NAPLES.The correspondent of the Times, writing from Naples, on the 31st of January, says :\u2014 \u201c All parties\u2014Mazzinians, Muratists, and Constitutionalists\u2014are absorbed in the one great party, the anti-dynastic party.Almost every one with whom I speak has such phrases as these on his tongne: \u2018 Well when will they leave?\u2019 \u2018It is impossible to continue with the present family, \u2018would to Heaven they were.offV \u2018It is only a question of time,of course they will pick up their traps shortly.' I merely report what I hear and see, and nothing in the present phase of of affairs strikes me more than the settled consciousness which every one seems to have arrived at, that a dynastic change is not only necessary,but is almost, fait accompli.Ihere were men\u2014well read sensible, moderate men\u2014a year ago, who spoke of the desirableness of saving the dynasty,and compelling it to work out the necessary reforms; the prince was coming who had Sardinian; blood in his veins and would make an epoch iu the history of his country ; the delusion has passed, and those very dreamers are now to be found among the anti-dynasties.Be assured that this family inspires no affection or respect, and awakens no hope ; it is done for the opinion of the nation, and I believe that the slightest impulse from without would give successful effect to that opinion.In this country nothing will be initiated ; there is too much disunion and distrust, the results of many years of distrust, the results of many years of the lynx-eyed vigilance and cruelty of the police ; at the same time, I believe that[foreign agency is active in attempting to stir up the malcontents\u2014that is, the na-, tion.LATEST BY TELEGRAPH AT LIVERPOOL.THE ITALIAN QUESTION REPLY OF THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT TO THE ENGLISH PROPOSITIONS.The Nord of to-day publishes the text of the despatch addressed on the 30 th ult.to the French Ambassador at London, by M.Thouvenel, Minister of Foreign affairs, in reply to the propositions of the British Government, already made known in the House of Commons.To the proposition of non-intervention the French Government gives its implicit adherence.The proposition that French troops quit the Roman States and Lombardy is acceded to by the Imperial Government, on conditions such as that Rome is not evacuated till the Holy See is secure from harm, nor Lombardy is free, from the tacit avowal of the great Powers, and till they shall have guaranteed the new organisation of Italy.The third point as to Venetia does not excite objections, but it must be left open to consider any concession which Austria may at a future time offer with regard to Venetia.In treating of the fourth point, that if after new elections the assemblies of Central Italy pronounce in favour of annexation, France and Great Britain shall not oppose the entrance of Sardinian troops, M.de Thouvenel says\u2014\u201c We regard ourselves bound by previous négociations upon it with the Austrian court, and we could not to-day, iu the presence of the stipulations of Villa Franca,pledge ourselves in a formal manner.\u201d He adds\u2014\u201c The reception we have given to the three first propositions will prove the sentiments in which we have received its overtures, aud he cannot have any doubt as to our sincere desire to combine for the solution which the situation of Central Italy calls for.\u201d FRANCE.The Times Paris correspondent states that a circular will soon be issued by the new Minister for Foreign Affairs to the French diplomatic agents abroad, and which may be considered in some sort the programme of the Imperial Government on its foreign policy.It will be couched in a sense eminently pacific and friendly to all.It is reported, at the War-office, that the order for the Frtnch army in Italy to be ready to inarch at a day\u2019s notice has been countermanded.The Consitutionnel, in an article signed by Mr.Granduillet, declares that the signs announced from all parts of France concerning the deplorable effect which has been produced by the letter of the Bishop of Orleans, Mon-signeur Dupanloupe (which the Siecle insists should be brought before the tribunals,) imposes on us the duty of not aggravating the existing excitement by such a polemic, and therefore M.Granduillot says he does not intend publishing the said letter in his principal edition for Paris.ITALY.Turin, Feb.9.\u2014Count Arese left last night for Paris, charged with an official mission.The Marquis de Azeglio will go to Milau next Saturday.The Daily News states that, in the absence of any unexpected cause of delay, the elections for the kingdom of Piedmont and Lombardy will take place about the 5th of March, and the Chamoers will assemble not later than the middle of the same month.DENMARK.Copenhagen, Feb.9.\u2014The two Presidents of the Diet have been summoned by the King.The present Ministry is provisionally carrying on public business,\u2014M.Blixon being Pre sident of the Council, M.Westenholz, Minisister for Holstein, and M.Gessen for Justice.The Fanderlandet announces that M.Madwig has been summoned by the King.RESIGNATION OF JUDGE PERRIN.DuBLix, Feb.10 \u2014We understand that Mr.Justice Perrin has resigned.It is most probable that the Solicitor-General, Mr.Deasy, will be his successor.It is supposed that the Attorney-General will not accept the puisne judgeship.\u2014Sounder\u2019s News-Letter.Colonel John Clark Kennedy is gazetted colonel commanding the military train, vice Colonel M'Murdo, appointed inspector of volunteers.(as Î km informed) from 3 to 6 per cent, 6i the average of last year\u2019s yield,is considered a good paying yield, with our Huron and St, Mary\u2019s ores, ranging from 10 to 25 per cent.; and our Lake Superior copper\u2014pure metal 100 per ct., richly studded with silver, and the point is settled.Then look at our facilities for mining.First of all, here is our noble chain of lakes and rivers, (the pride and glory of North America,) rendering every point of this vast region accessible by means of navigation.Then for supplies, we have the whole of Agricultural Canada, and the whole of the United States to furnish us with the staple commodities, of food, raiment, and materiel; in fact for the supply of the heavier, and more expensive articles of consumption we need not look beyond our own locations, for I am not speaking hyperbolically when I say that, for the production of hay, oats, barley, rye, potatoes, turnips, &c., and tor the fattening of neat stock there is not a better climate, nor a more productive soil on this Continent, (in this matter I speuk from experience as a practical farmer.) And most important of all, we must not overlook the healthiness of our climate.Instead of the anguish swamps of the Western states, or the fever-striken scenes of disease and death still further south ; we have those pure sweet mountain breezes that give health to the invalid, and vigor to the strong ; water superior to any in America ; landscape scenery equal to anything in Switzerland ; cascades, rushing over the precipices in some hundreds of feet at a leap ; valleys of surpassing loveliness, and mountain lakes not less fair than \u201c gentle Windermere.\u201d How is it then (it may be asked) that, with all these advantages the mines of the north shore are not worked?This question I shall endeavor to answer in my next letter, and in doing so my animadversions on practices may possibly give umbrage to personages, who once fancied that their names alone shielded them from criticism ; but \u201cfiat justicia, ruât ccelum.\u201d I have for years been an eye witness of the most bare-faced frauds on the one hand, and the most stupid follies on the other\u2014and now that I have taken up the axe, I shall strike at the roots of that evil tree which like the deadly Upas, has spread its withering shade over one of the richest and most interesting portions of the British Empire.Your much obliged servant, WILLIAM H.PALMER.SPICES\u2014Cloves continue to be wanted, and Zanzibar have been sold at stiffer rates.A fair business doing in pimento by private treaty, and the previous advance rs fully sustained!

but this remark holds good only in reference to the region bordering Lake Huron and the River Ste.Marie.The copper-bearing rocks of Lake Superior are a very different affair.There the native metal originates iu an eruptive lava known as the \u201c volcanic ash bed,\u201d which extends over the whole copper-bearing country, its proper place iu the series being under the amygdaloid ; and all the veins in the amygdaloid are traceable down to their present source in the \u201cash bed,\u201d It is a newer rock than the amygdaloid, and the greenstone which overlies the latter ; but whether it be contemporary in age with the \u201cTrap Dykes\u201d of the country, is a geological question which has not yet been solved.All we know about it for certain is, that whilst the \u201c ash-bed\u201d aud its overlier, the amygdaloid, have given us all the native copper and silver on the upper Lake, the Trap Dykes on Lake Huron and River tite.Marie, and up as far as Goulait and Batchewanah Bays, have produced all the sulphurets of copper, iron, lead, cobalt, and nickel that have yet been discovered, and doubtless other metals and minerals that will yet be brought to lighl.As for the extent of these metalifuous rocks, that is one of those questions of magnitude with which an ordinary mind is bewildered.\u201c^When we come to reckon by the rate of hundreds of thousands, the idea cannot be grasped by a common intellect, and its grandeur is so far lost.The best rule in such a case is, a rule of comparison.And so when we tell the Uor-nish miner about copper-bearing strata, larger than all England, he begins to catch at an idea of magnitude which he could never have obtained from arithmetical figures.And just so with the Newcastle collier ; tell him of a coal field one hundred thousand miles square [ten to one] the impression on bis mind is no greater than if it had been only one hundred miles square.But tell him of a coal field as large as the half of Europe, aud then the idea of magnitude comes up clear before his mental vision.And so it is with regard to our mineral regions here ; their extent is so great that it is only by geographical circles that we can come at a true appreciation of them.In the Lake Superior region, the Island of St.Ignace, and its neighbor, Simpson's Island, cover an area of about 180 square miles\u2014and those two islands, I know from personal and very recent observations, to lie on a foundation of copper and silver ; simply and plainly because they rest super-imposed in the most regular order on the \u201cvolcanic ash bed.\u201d Yet this 180 square miles of mineral land is but a speck compared with the vast expanse of mainland to the north and west, composed of the same rocks, in the same order, and containing just the same minerals.Then, as for the St.Mary\u2019s ore bearing district, [where the trap dykes perform the same office as the volcanic ash bed up the lake,] we may safely, and within bounds, sot its limits at the \u201cMississagua\u2019 eastward, and extend it to Batchewanah Biy westward, a distance of about 120 miles on the coast, aad its depth into the interior unknown.I have myself penetrated the country 60 or 70 miles in a north-easterly direction, and at that distance it seemed as if I were just getting into the true El Dorado.Hence, then, so far as regards the question of quantity, we may set our minds at rest\u2014we have enough.Then as for the quality, that is a question easily disposed of.Just compare the products of the mines of Cornwall, where DAILY REPORT OF THE MONTREAL PRODUCE MARKET.Montreal, Feb.25, 1860.Our market to-day is a little more animated.Prices for No.1 firmer, and a fair demand.Other grades steady.Flour,\u2014DoubleExtra, $6.25 /® $6.50 ;

Bank Stock 229 to 231 ; and the Three per Cents., 94J to 95.The Share market to-day has been very firm, prices steadily advancing until near the close, when they declined a shade, but shares closed good in tone.Canadian shares are unchanged, but dull.The Times says the advices from China have strengthened the Tea market, and a steady business has been transacted during the past few days, LONDON MARKETS.Per \u201cEuropa.\u201d SUGAR.\u2014Only 2820 tons were landed at port during the past week, aud in corresponding time of former years 3630 ; deliveries have been less favourable and amounted to 4140 tons for home use and exportation, in same period of last year they were 4860 ; stock amounts to 54.000\ttons, and in 1859, at this period, it was 53.000\ttons.At the continental markets not much business doing, but importers are firm.The market has been sparingly supplied, and there being an improvement in the home trade demand, full previous terms were realised, better sorts of Refining and Grocery being mostin request, but exporters are cautious purchasers.FRUIT.\u2014Business of fair extent is doing in Currants at steady rates, chiefly low-priced qualities.At public sale some damaged parcels brought steady prices, the sound being mostly bought in.First pile damaged Currants sold at 4.3g, second 42a, third 38g, fourth 37s.Sound Eleme Raisins sold at 36s, damaged, first pile 36s to 38s, second 29s to fc36s ;

whilst good shipping sorts were chiefly bought in or withdrawn at prices which the buyers were not prepared to give.Kurpahsof good quality were in fair demand, at about 3d to 4d advance on the last sale\u2019s prices, but ordinary and low were neglected and chiefly bought in.The same remark applies to dry leaf Madras, of which only a few lots sold at prices a shade above October rates.592 chests were sold.METALS.\u2014The upward movement for Scotch Pig Iron continues, mixed numbers have been sold at 61s to 61s 3d cash.In Spelter more doing, and £21 5s paid for present delivery.Copper not to be obtained under fixed rates.In Lead much passing.The market for Tin still dull, Banca 136s, Straits 132s, British 136s to 137s, and Refined 138s per cwt.OILS.\u2014Many contracts have been concluded iu Linseed, and 7s 9d paid for present delivery.For Rape Seed a firmer market, sales of foreign refined at 38s 6d to 39s, brown 36s Gd, and English 35s to 36s.For Olive rates are fully as high, and much doing.A firm market for Palm and Cocoa Nut.A fair business in Oil of Anniseed, and 8s 9d to 9s paid on the spot and for arrival.rIOE\u2014Stock still on the decrease, and is 18.000\ttons under last year ;
