[" = ouue recede from the posi- tion which she assumed to her Southern sisterhood when she withdrew from the United States, and again join the Yankee nation ?The election of Colonel Vance would indicate the popular will of the people of North Carolina to re-enter the old Union, and we desire that they will vote upon the question understandingly.Then, of what avail will be the sacrifices which the people have made in prosecuting the war, of life and treasure ?What will be thought of the State by the world ?Can the people pay the State\u2019s share of the immense Yankee debt, amounting to more than all the property in the State would sell for?How could they wipe out the disgrace which such an event would entail upon lhe State?Have the people pondered the demoralizing effect wh}oh it would have upon our army ?Consider well these things and rote accordingly.__________________________ \u2014An extensive coal mine is now working in the province of Auckland, New Zealand, and the coal obtained from it is selling at the nearest port for 12s.a ton.\u2014It is thought that the London subterranean railway, from Victoria to Haddington, will be opened for travel about the first of next October.TRADE AND COMMERCE.Current Tonics\u2014-EHnance and Trade.HERALD OFFICE, ?Montreal, Sept.4, 1862.) Business in all trade circles continues very dull, with the exception of Dry Goods, of which we give a full review in another plaça.The weather has been most extraordinarily cold for this season of the year, sharp frosts hav« ing occurred in many parts of the country ; the damage, however, is chiefly confined to the gardens and tomatoes ; hot peppers, cucumbers and melons have been the chief sufferers.The harm done to the Lower Province generally has been but slight, accounts from the United States which now possess extreme interest, inasmuch as they regard the absolute existeriee of said States, as forming one large and powerful country, hayg had a great effect on all classes of the community, and the events before Washington are watched with the greatest anxiety.The general feeling is that a short time must decide the fate of the Union, and then comes the important question, how will Canadian Commerce bo affected by the separation which appears inevitable.Of course it is too soon to even speculate in such an event, but every week will bring the subject more and more prominently before us.\t\t\tTons, From Liverpool 1 vessel,\t\tg«n>\t531 From London 1\tdo\tdo,\t541 \t\t\t1.072 Deoar lures are :\t\t\t To Mingan 1 vessel, provisions,\t\t\t42 Harbor Grace\t1 do\tdo\t109 \t\t\t151 Our arrivals during the week are :\t\t\t From Liverpool\t4 vessels, gen\t\t2757 From Glasgow\ti\tdo\t515 From Hartlepool\ti\tdo coal\t273 From Bermuda\ti\tdo ballast\t298 From Porto Grande 1\t\tdo do\t641 Ffpjn Lower Ports\t5\tdo sugar and\t \t\tfish, 385\t \t1\tdo coal, 83 \u2014\t468 \t14\t\t4892 Previous\t267\t\t121196 though the bulk of the Wheat in Northern Europe j has to be gathered.Some early districts are satisfied ; but in the South, Spain, as well as Portugal and Italy, would seem rather below the late expectations.We out the following Foreign Markets from the same paper :\u2014 Galatz August 1.\u2014Supplies of New Wheat at Braila are become more plentiful, and, in the absence of an improvement at Marseilles, lower prices, will, it is expected, be the consequence.Barley, Rye, and hard Wheats, on the contrary, will go on improving,since there is a speculative feeling prevailing for all these articles, and the crop of the two former will, it is now ascertained prove a very short one.Hamburg, August 16.\u2014Since our last report of the 9th inst., we have had very fine sunny weather, with scarcely any rain ; the same is reported from all parts of Germany,and harvesting of Wheat and Barley has become general.In Prussia and the Saal districts much Wheat has already been carried, and the samples produced represent fine quality, of good colour and full grain, weighing 61 to 621bs.per bushel.Paris Saturday Evening, August 16.\u2014The weather during the past week has been favourable to the harvest.A great deal of rain has fallen, and prevented the housing of the wheat and other grain that was cut and still in the field ; and those farmers who have used the moy.ettes are reaping the benefit of the system, the wheat being perfectly secured from the effect of the rain.In all the southern and western departments the harvest has been secured in good order ; and Normany is the only district where it is in arrears.Of course, until the crop is trashed, it is not possible to arrive at any safe conclusion as to the goodnoss of the yield ; but the general opinion is that there will he a fair average produce and quality of grain.We quote from Kenneth Dowie & Co.\u2019s Liverpool Circular:\u2014 Liverpool, Aug.20.The weather during the first portion of the past week was very fine all over the country, except in London and down South, where they experienced considerable falls of rain, from Thursday evening to Monday night ; here and in the midland and Northern Counties it could not possibly be finer, and the crops are ripening fast and harvest going on to some extent, but the more we become acquainted with the results of the Wheat Cron, the less satisfactory does it aunear in j'ieia, and very mixed m quality.At our Corn Market yesterday there was a very good attendance of country millers and dealers, who purchased freely of Wheat, at prices almost equal to the rates got that day week.Prime sound sweet Flour met a good demand at full rates, while for \u201cout of condition parcels\u201d there was no selling.Indian Corn, at extreme rates of Friday, in some few cases 3d perqr.more obtained.On the Continent the harvest accounts continue favorable, and prices were rather giving way.Ashes.\u2014Sales of the week hardly amount to 200 bbls.The market is firm at our quotations, Butier is arriving mostly out of condition ; fine would sell readily at full rates.We quote from Peter Riutoul, Son & Co.\u2019s weekly circular : Glasgow, Aug.20,1862.Since our last report of the 13th instant, the weather has been wet and changeable.During the week there has been a good demand for usual qualities of Red Wheat.The tone of the market, however, has varied with the weather.On Monday, from the great fall of rain in the South, the tendency was decidedly upwards, but since then there has been less doing.For Flour and other artjgles there has been a fair demand for consumption.At to-day\u2019s market there was a good attend ance.The weather being line, with bright sunshine, the feeling was quieter than on Monday, though we have no change to report in the price of either Wheat or Flour, for which there was a fair, but not extensive demand.Oats are held at last week\u2019s prices, but the demand is rather slacker.In Oatmeal we have no change to report.For Indian Corn the de-maud is steady at fully the rates of this day week.Supplies of New Butter begin to drop in.Sales of the late arrivals have been made at our quotations.In the prices of Tallow and Lard there is no alteration Pig fron has been largely dealt in at advanced rates, am} the market continues firm.Respecting Provisions w.e havp but little to say.Pork has slightly advanced, say to $10;} latter price for retail lots.But to-day the tendency is dowoffanJs, and lower prices would be accepted- For the lower grades there is little demand, Ip other articles little Join In Hardware we have nothing beyond a retail business to report.To-day\u2019s Receipts at the Custom House are $11,701 69c.telegraph.)

good to bright Porto Rico, 8 jc/ttOjc.These latter prices are for not large lots, cargo lots would have to accept j c fd) jc less.At auction a small lot dark to bright Cuba brought $7,90 feb $9.In Refined there is no change in prices, an average business only doing.MOLASSES\u2014The demand is but light by private sale and Clayed is worth 28c/®29cper gal ; Muscovado 31e/@ 33c; no very good samples offering, at auction rather tart to good Clayed brought from 29c 1® 30c ; good Barbadoes was withdrawn at 34c.COFFEE\u2014No sales of any importance to give, and we refer to our Prices Current for quotations.TEAS\u2014There is still an enquiry for uncolored Japan, and a good many parcels have changed hands at 57jc for fair, generally the market is very dull.RICE\u2014Considerable transactions at 18s 3d/® 18s 6d for round lots.Retail lots fetch 19a for Arracan TubaCCO\u2014The sales of Montreal manufactured are considerable amounting for the week to several hundred boxes at lull rates, American and Leaf quiet.FISH__The Fall season has opened, and auc- tion sales have commenced, but so far the country aemanu naa non set in, anu purenasers at me first sale buy much in the dark, having no clue to guide them so that the prices given are not a fair criterion and may be looked upon as nominal.It is impossible to form any idea of the probable amount of import, but prices having opened so low may probaoly_deter many parties from sending their fish here.At auction, half barrels split Canso, brought from $l,25/®$l,87j.Barrells $3/®$4, according to quality.Mackerel, half barrels $2i/®$2|.Codfish, barrels $3.No offer for Round Herrings.CHEMICALS\u2014Fair demand for Soda Ash, at 2jc/â3e ÿ\u2019ib.Soda Crystalls dull at $1,50/® $1,60 if 112 lbs, stocks light.Bleaching Powder in fair demand, at 2|c/®3c ^ lb.Alum worth for lump, $2,30/®$2,50 ;
