Surgeon, J.F Wolff, Esq., M.D., Surgeon to the Active Force of the District.The muster roll of this company is complete, and there are so man) applications for admission to the ranks that it is probable a second company will be formed;

and on the table of its reading room, which is accessible till ten o\u2019clock P M., are to be found the leading news-papers and magazines of Great Britain, the United «tales and Canada.To secure the continuance of these advantages a subscription list of 250 members would be sufficient, whilst 300 or 350 would enable the Association to make large additions to its library and periodicals, an improvement which means have of late prevented, specially impress upon merchants keepers the necessity of extending port to the Association as annual even though they do not frequent for the sake of those in their employ\u2014a support rendered more necessary by the limited number of English-speaking young men amongst ns.As a reason for urging this claim upon employers it may be stated that in Montreal, where the number of Anglo-Canadian young men is quadruple that of Quebec, the merchants very generally support the Mercantile Library Association as senior mem»«ers, though they are never seen in the rooms, while, at different periods, very large sums have been subscribed to pay off debts, purchase books, and otherwise encourage a taste for reading and literary pursuits which do positive good to many of their employés, and go far to counteract the injurious attractions of the saloon and the billis* I room.On one occasion Charles James Fox and Sheridan consented to replenish the Major 3 exhausted finances by going to his house to dinner to meet a rich citizen who gave £150 to him for the honor of meeting them.When the great men had eaten their dinner in silence, they drank their wine, and for the whole evening jerked sixpences into a wine glass, raying only, \u201c I\u2019ll bet yon five pounds,\" nnd \u201c doubles and quits.\" Major Hanger won several strange bets about the beginning of the century : in one instance Viscount Allen made a bet with him that he would not ride down St.James street at three o\u2019clock in the afternoon with a chimney sweep before him and another behind him, he being in his shirt sleeves with a sack of soot over his shoulder, and shouting out \u201csoot, oh I\" This silly exhibition was witnessed by the Prince of Wales and a large uurat er of the nobility.Lord Colraine was so greatly scandalized at bU brother s conduct that he ceased to hold any further communication with him till his death.When the Prince of Wales became Regent he gave up his acquaintance with Hanger, but always spojte of him with great kindness, and frequently told strange anecdotes of him.in 1817, Lord Col rains died, leaving everything he could to the children of his sister, and Major Hanger succeeded to the title and the only entailed property, Bruce Castle, at Tottenham, which was immedintely sold, and the purchase money settled upon Mrs.H and her son.Lord Colraine died in 1824 or \u201925, and with him the title be came extinct.The state of society at the p.e-sent day lus rendered it impossible that such characters as George Hanger should ever be again upon the world\u2019s indulgence.Although the eveuts of bis life had thrown him amongst some of the roughest characters, yet was he always a gentleman in his manners.He was possessed of talents and perseverance which, had they been properly directed, would have made him a prosperous, if not a distinguished man.The last act of his life shewed a degree of feeling and generosity which mtae some slight amends for his erratic and profligate course : a lady of large fortune offered to marry him, giving him the possession of an income that would enable him to live according to his tanx.Lord Colraine replied to her : \u201c Madam, an affectionate but unfortunate female has sacrificed all that woman bolds dear for me, and has been my «apport for the latter days of my life ;

and upon the question being put as to whether the Council was satisfied of the due election and return of the two Councillors in question, the report, was unanimously adopted DEATH or THE PR1NC* CONSORT.The Mayor stated that s\u2019nce he had last the pleasure of meeting the Council,they had doubtless learned the great bereavement with which it had pleased God to afflict our beloved Queen.Tbe Prince Consort, who had been a kind and devoted husband, a good and affectionate father, had been almost suddenly called sway from among us.For upwards of twenty years he had been the faithful counsellor of the Queen, eschewing all opportunities of assuming high office, or exercising tbe great influence I which his position would naturally entitle him to lay claim to, he had preferred discharging unostentatiously those duties which, as the husband of the Sovereign And the father of the future Kim» of England, he conceived, constituted his more peculiar sphere.By this means he had endeared himself to tbe people of the Empire and obtained for himself that devoted attachment which few Sovereigns had ever secured All Europe deeply sympathized with the Oueen and her family in their present great affliction ; and this was A fitting ««ttoony to Prince Albert\u2019s worth and character.Ihe blow had fallen upon the Queen at a time when she was engaged in the sad but stern duty of demanding justice and respect for na- tional honor; and while it bad pleased God to avert for the present the calamities of war, it wes also to be hoped that strength would be given her to sustain her great loss, and to «member that though she had became a widow -be was nevertheless a bovcreign and a mother.It was only necessary to mention the painful subject to the Council to be assured they would ukethisopportumty of expressing in the name of the citizens, their heartfelt grief for Her Majesty\u2019s affliction and their expression of sympathy for her.As loyal subjecu fheir prayers would ever attend her for that comfort which a higher Power only can give New Year\u2019s Dat was observed with all the customary formalities in Montreal.The weather was very uupropitious, and very remarkable.For a wonder, it rained on the first of the new year, almost the whole day.Towards evening the wind rose, and blew a perfect hurricane, and a keen frost set in.But notwithstanding all this the current of visitors set in as strong as ever ;in fact the cheap convenience of the City Railroad cars greatly added to the numbers of those who made personal calls on their friends, or left their cards.Mbetino or British Residents or New Yi.rk Relative to the Death or Prince Albert.British Consulate, New York.Dec.31, 1861 At the request of a number of British residents, I hereby give notice that a meeting will be held at the office of this Consulate on Saturday next, the 4th of January, at 6 o\u2019clock P.M., of such of the British residents of this City as desire to join in an expression of sypmathy and condolence with her Britanic Majesty on the occasion of the demise of his Royal Highness Prince Albert.\" E.M.Archibald, II.B.M.Consul.Cokonkr\u2019b Inquest.\u2014The Chatham Planet says : \u201c On Friday last an iaquest was held by Dr.A.R.Robertson, coroner, on the body of James Dunn, in the Township of Dover East.The history of this woman\u2019s death forms one of the most painful nnd revolting cases of intemperance, which has ever fallen our lot to record.Deceased was married about four months ago to a man named Geo.Dunn, well known to many of our townsmen, as a man of intemperate habits, and bearing a verv bad character.Previous to and since her marriage she lived with her brother, John Mullen.For many years both she and her brother were much addicted to drinking.She had a son now about 15 years old who had also, by tbe force of example fallen into the same habits o dissipation.It appears that on Christmas Mullen brought home from town about three gallons of whiskey, determined to have a glorious jollification on Christmas.The whiskey flowed freely during the whole of that night among the party of four, and in the morning they were all in a state of beastly Intoxication.Dana from\t0 beat the deceased, and from tbe evidence of an eye-witnesa it stems he repented bit brutal treatment at intervals during the day.Mullen was so drunk that he was utterly unconscious of the inhuman treatment bis sister was receiving from the husband.The next morning the woman was found dead in the bed, by a neighbor, who happened to call in, while every inmate in the house was in such a state of drunkenness as to be either ignorant or careless about it tempted to run tbe blockade at Suvanaih, but was foiled.She got ready to make her way through Warsaw Hound but information being received from a deserter, the gunboat Ott iwa was despatched to the Sound and on her arrival, the rebel mosquito fleet of Tatnall came down to attack her.After a brisk engagement a shell was put through Commodore Tatnall\u2019s vessel, when he retired.The escape of the Fingal was thus frustrated.A Spanish schooner, without a name, but laden with a valuable cargo of Havana cigars, shoes and other stores, was chased, but ran a-ground and was burned at Cumberland Inlet on the 15th ult., by the boats of the Bienville and Jil\u2019ibairui Her cargo was taken off ; but tbe crew had previously fled to the woods.The transports Ca/utwba nnd Roanoke from Port Royal on the evening of the 30th ult., arrived here this morning.They bring no news.They passed the sloop-of-war Cumberland on the 1st inst.in lat.36, long.76, cruis- P hi la deli\u2019hi a, 3rd.\u2014A fire commenced about 2 o\u2019clock this morning in the basement beneath the American Telegraph Office, ana before it could be subdued the lower floor and bowling room were completely burned out.Howard\u2019s Express office, adjoining, was also much damaged.11 A.M.\u2014The damage to the Telegraph Office does not exceed $800, which is insured, Hie tire being confined to the basement portion ot the building.The telegraph instruments, «C, were saved without injury.The telegraph communication with the country is continuing without interruption.The operators were ou duty at the time the fire broke out, in the fourth storey of the building, and the suirway became densely filled with smoke.There was considerable alarm for a short time about their 9ate* ty.All escaped, however, without injury.A boy believing his escape was cut ofl was rescued by a ladder.The front portion of the basement on Chestnut street was occupied by Mr.Trenurble.Hts establishment was completely destroyed.From American Papers.THE FKELIXQ AGAIXST BRITAIN.(Prom the Boston AdvertUer.)

he labored to create the Great Exhibition of 1851, and has been tbe principal patron of those public csUblisbmcnts which Are giving a new impulse to the Art* of Design, nnd are probably destined to regenerate the taste of the country, and bring our powers of decoration to a level with our astonishing fertility of creation.Even now there is rising under his auspices io a suburb of this metropolis a building destined to receive the prodnets of the industry of all nations, and to give, we doubt not, a fresh impulse to tbe creation of whatever may serve for the use and enjoyment of man kind.But, while we are on every side reminded of the benefits which the Priuce Consort has been the means of diffusing among us, tbeir author is no more.In the prime of manhood, in the zenith of his great intellectual capacity, in tbe midst of a career of unbounded usefulness, tbe Consort of the Queen has been stricken by the band of Death.Now and for long to come the heart of Her Majesty can find room but for a single thought ; bur, when the first agony has spent itself, we trust that it may suggest some slight consolation to reflect .that she as implicitly commands the sympathy and sorrow os sb* has always commanded the loyalty and affection of the subjects who have had the happiness to lire under her rule, and to be instructed by her example.position virtually excluded him from any Active share in the politics or government of «he country, and he wise y abstained from all attempts at interference But as an educated man, of large sympathies and energetic mind, he soon .-ought and found other spheres of congenial activity.He took a genuine interest in art and science, and laboured with conscientious zeal to promote the advancement and popularise the results of each.His patriotic services as President of tbe Fine Arts Commission, as bead of tbe Great Exhibition Council of 1851, as promoter of tbe Manchester Fine Art Exhibition, and as president of various learned and scientific association, are still vividly remembered, and will not be easily forgotten by the grateful people whose interests he laboured in bo disinterested a manner to promote.But as Prince Consort, in the Royal Household, aud as representative of the Court, he has established evep a stronger claim to the gratitude of tbe whole nation.His conduct was as exemplary as that of some of bis predecessors had unhappily been the reverse.His character and example helped most powerfully and directly to raise the moral standard of the Court, which in previous reigns bal fallen so low.And in this respect be is undoubtedly entitled to the gratitude and respect of every Englishman.His personal influence wasexetlcdon behalf of noble objects, and bis private pursuits were of a dignified and elevating kind.He had a sincere sympathy with the educational and industrial movements of the country, and was to the moment of his death actively engaged in efforts to promote them.Such a man would be a loss in a&y station, at any time.But a Royal Consort of such a character, and endowed with such qualities, dying at the early age of 42, is in every sense a deep and irreparable loss to the nation.For the moment, however, the sense of national loss is almost absorbed in deep and universal sympathy with tbe overwhelming grief of the Royal mourners.Almighty and most merciful God, who art the Helper of all who put their trust in Thee, look, we beseech Thee, on the sadness and sorrow of our beloved Queen.Comfort aud sustain her with Thy presence ; be a light to her in darkness ; bind up her broken heart help her to cast all her care on Thee ; and bring her again into Tby house with & song of thanksgiving; through Jesus Christ our Lord THE ARMY OP THE POTOMAC.(Mr Rsurtl'a CorrMpMtSener.)

bnt after all it wa* not satisfactory, sod gave another proof that some fair data of comparison are nicessary to enable man to appreciate the value of demoastrations of tbe kind.It is tro* that, as compared with the average of vo-Innteer reviews, there was reason to place tbe regulars in a high position, and the jealoosy which exists on tbe part of the people towards a regular force bad its exponent in the way io which some journals spoke of the occasion and its incidents.But after all, volunteer regiments here eonld march ns well if not better ; tbe men were not so fine personally ; their movements were loose without being active.Nevettbeless, any one accustomed to soldiering, while finding fecit with many things, judged by a European standard, would infinitely prefer risking an engagement with such a force opposed to equal numbers to taking three times as many volunteers into tbe field again*\u2019 the same enemy.Tbe difference Uy in the officers, in the readiaest ot tbe men, and in tha air and serviceable look of the troops as they marched past.Ai they took ground to the left or right there was no noise in tbe ranks of the advancing ntetions.The «rtillery were clean aad neat, the cavalry bad no wild \u2018abandon\u2019 of hair aod open collars, though d-ficient io straps and setting up ; the inftntry wore gloves and bnttooed their eosts.But, though Uns was so, tbe praise, great as it was, of ibe journals was by no means wbat it wonid have been bad the troops been volunteers.In fact, io tbe regular army tbe press aad tbe politicians recognize a powerful enemy, whom they do not seek to flauer, became they know it cannot be cajoled.*oon after tbe review took place I rode to Great Falls with some officers of General McClellan\u2019s staff Numerous as tlie fact* have been which hove come to my knowledge respecting Ibe irregularity and lax discipline of the volunteer «.rmy, I coaid scarcely have imagined each a sLite of things existed in any military body as I found nt this post \u2014 It most be known that it is in front of tbe enemy at an important position, so doss that the men of the outposts on both aides frequently talk to each other aernsi the river, which her* rosîtes Uir-ragb a wild, rocky gorge over and through layer* of rock and disjointed strata, above which are high, ragged banks, covered with forest trees.Herr, it a few wooden houses and sbaaties were stationed the «mall pmu, consisting of two companies ot a Pennsylva' nia regiment The men were about tbe banks or Prince and the Duke of York during their lives.\u201c Mrs.H.\u201d put upon tbe table five large covered dishes, h.svir.g smaller dishes of vegetables between ibnn ; and to the plate of each guest was a fo tming pot of porter.Hanger, who arrived with bis gnests, made some funny remark abou.t such of the provisions as appeared before theto, bat, when the covers were taken off, a roar t>f laughter was produced throughout the assembly at finding five fine shoulders of mutton b.iked, with potatoes and Yorkshire paddings unt lor them alternately.All guests were invited by tbe Prince, except one whose appearance was excused to tbe Prince, as \u201cwithout him,\u2019' Hanger exclaimed, «by Jove THE ROYAL INSURANCE COMPANY\u2019S ALMANAC.We have received through Messrs.I orsyth, Bell & Co., the Quebec Agents of the Royal Insurance Co., a neatly bound copy of that Company\u2019s Almanac, for 1862, as useful a, one of the kind as is published.LATEST FROM FATHER POINT.Father Point, Jan.3, 7 P.M.Blowing a gale, with heavy snow all day from north-west.Ice in the river remains q ite firm.AN IMPORTANT BUT NEGLECTED BRANCH OF SOCIAL SCIENCE.\" The very interettiog aod able paper on this lubj^ct which we published yesterday morning, h by E.A.Meredith, Ktq., Asst Prov.Secretary.RECORDER\u2019S COURT.fcKJOR* J, CRSMAZII, ssq., RSCORDIR.Yesterday morning, In this Court, James Connolly, John Jobnitone, and Mary Sallivan, on tbeir cotontary confesiion as loose, idle and disorderly persons, were committed to gaol lor two month* each.Hannah Sullivan and Pierre Tuigeon, also at tbeir own request, were committed to gaol for one month.Margaret Hogan, wife of William Lanagban, laborer, on complsli\u2019t of Sub-coostable Siam-chet, for depositing filth io St.Peter street on Thursday morning, whs fined one dollar\u2014a delay of a week being granted paymeaC ' John Perry, Ernest Lsmatr»,' And Frsoel* tipain, and the smaller maritime powers ate almost ready to accede to Mr.Marty's doc trice, by which private property is guaranteed tlie name immunity on tbe ocean as on latd ;

Tbe nation bas just sustained tbe greatest loss that eonld possibly have fallen uton it.Prince Albert, who a week ago gave every nromiae that bis valuable life would be lengthened to a period long enough to enable him l enjoy, evpn in ibis world, tbe fruit of a virtuous youth aofl * well-spent manhood, the affection of a devoted wife and of a family of which any father mnatch>d from ns, without even warning suffi dent to prepare us for a blow so abrupt aud so terrible.We «hall need time fully to appreciate the magnitude of tbe loss we have sustained.Everyday will make us more conscious of it.It is Dot merely a prominent figure th*t will be missed on all public occasions ; not merely & death that will cast a permanent gloom over a reign hitherto bo j >yous and so prosperous ; it is the loss of ¦ public man whose services to this country, tbougo rendered neither in tbe field of battle nor in the arena of crowded as sembliei, have yet been of inestimable value to this nation,\u2014a man to whom more than any one else we owe the happy state of onr internal polity, and a degree of general contsnt-m.etu to which neither we nor any other nation jpe kq,ow of ever attained before.Twenty-one years bare just elapsed sine-» Queen Victoria gave her band in marriage to Prince Albert of Saze-GotLa.It was an suspicions event, nnd reality baa more than surpassed all prognostics, however favorable Tbe Royal marriage has bepn blessed with a numerous offspring.So far as it ia permitted to tbe public to know the domestic lives of Sovereigns, the people of these isltnds could eel up no better model of the performance of the duties of a wife and mother than their Queen ; no more complete pattern of a de-voted husband and father than her Consort Tues* are not mere words of coarse We writs in an age and in a country in which the highest position ?oujd not have availed to screen the most eleyftted delincjaeot.They are simply the records of a truth perfectly understood and reoognized by the ÊiigiLh people.It has been the misfortune of most Royal Personages that their education has been be low tho dignity of tbeir position.Cut off by tbeir rank from intimate association with young persons of the same age, they have oft#n had occasion bitterly to lament that the same fortune which raised them above tbe nobility in station had sunk below them in knowledge and acquirements.Thanks to the cultivated mind and sterling good sense of the Prince Consort no such charge will bo brought against tbe preacot generation of the Royal family of England.\u2019 possessing talents of the first order, cultivated and refined tar diligent and successful study, tbe Prince fins patched over tbe education of bis children witq\tipsjduity commensurate with the greatness of the trust, and destined, we doubt not, to bear fruit in tbe future stability of our reigning family and its firm hold on the affections of the people.Had Prince Albert done no more than this, had he limited his ambition to securing 'tlje happiness of his wife and children, this country* £çç^idering who his wife aud child ron are, voulu koy.ç owed him a debt which the rank he occupied ftiuong Ufy and the material and social advantages attached to it, would have been quits inadequate tg repay But there is much more which tbe Prinpe has done for us.It was a singular piece of fo.' tune that the Queen should find in a young man of twenty years of age one whom a sud- (Prom the Dally New».) Rarely has a nation bevn afflicted with a loss so sudden and overwhelming as that which it mourns to-day.Until Saturdstf.moruuig there was no general apprehension of any serious danger to the head of the Royal household, and even then it was universally hoped and believed that the Prince\u2019s comparative youth and unimpaired strength of constitution would in the end trinffipth over the tporc alarming symptoms that had appeared, But before the day closed all was over.The highest family in the realm was desolate, and tbe Royal Lady whom all hearts revere had become a widow.We cannot attempt to describe in detail the public impression produced by this most afflicting aews.Since the death of the Princess Charlotte there has been no such deep and touching appeal to the national sympatbj' ; nor, assuredly, has there been any such profound, universal and heartfelt response The first feeling of everj' heart is that of poignant grief at the terrible bereavement, and of tenderest sympathy for the Royal Lady who has been made bo suddenly desolate, and tbe children who are now fatherless.The agonising sorrow of\u2019 such a moment is too deep for any earthly relief, and too sacred to be disturbed by any intrusive consolation But the nation cannot hut shore in the afflictions of its beloved Sover eign.The widowed Qupen lives eo entirely in the affections of her people that it is impossible for her to weep alone.And this is of all others the very calamity that touches most directly and most powerfully they very sources of that affection.It is in her domestic relations that the Queen has set so noble an example to every household in the realm.It is as a wifh and a mother, in tbe exemplary discharge of all the duties belpqging to those s^prpd relations, that she has won 30 largely the respect And grateful affection of the nation.And it is a« a wife and a mother that she is called to bear the heaviest loss, to endure the bitterest pain that can ever rend a human heart.The home that was always bright has tapotée suddenly darkened, tbe united circle is broken, the guiding strength to which the wife bad looked np, and the tried affection on which she had leaned for twenty years, can support her no more No words can measure the loss, and few can resdise the full meaning of the change.But it U impossible to glance at the past, and think of the Royal grief and desolation, Tbe union thus severed by death, unlike so many Royal marriages, was not only fanned ia the very morning of life, but founded on mutual esteem and devoted affection.The long working years of wedded life more than realised the brilliant hopes and prospects of its commencement.The domestic life of the Queen and Prince Consort has been throu zbout an example of conjugal bappidess, harmony and peace.It has never for a moment been darkness by any clond of difference, cool 0ess or fnapiyion- As the cares of domestic life mul- tiplied they lyefe /kithfqljy sjijjfejl, as its duties increased they were diligently discharged; and both brought with them new enjoyments.The Queen and Prince devoted themselves with conscientious zeal to the education of their family, and they bad their reward in watching the gradually developed character nnd accomplishments of their children For twenty happy years no cloud of affliction or bereavement darkened this picture of domestic hap-pipess.But in one short year death has made fearfnl inroads on the favored cifcle.Only pine months ago llif* ?\u2022ty day Ihe country was Oppression 10 sympathy with the daughter on the Iqsg of her devoted mother, tbe late Duche*s gfÊeqt.4*14 flow,when scarcely recovered from this first heayy domestic loss, out beloved Sovereign is called to endure another blow far more trrrible and severe.This overwhelmuing distress of the Royal Fa-mi y touches every husband and wife, everv son and daughter in the kingdom, and it will, os we have said, be deeply shared by every family in the realm.The Royal sufferers have the full and tender sympathy ot a devoted people.\u2014 Grief like theirs levels all distinctions of rank ; and while the heart of the Sovereign is wrung with the terrible agony which so many of her subjects bave felt, and eo many more must Biirejy feel, they in their turn are genuine mourner* With Qta wi4°ffe4 Qu«m- * i at £13 atxi -.'a*! qnalitr at £t I »er atituilard Vl'tebee StavtM.\u2014Utrcha'iiable Pipe have bren «oi l it £3i), and Colla at £18 IDs.per Unmtaril .and Merchantable Puneh«-oii at from £i# IS to £17 per It.Lath wood\u2014No «al - a.) alioga and l^ttb*.\u2014The former have been sold at 40 u i3a per M.F.VRSWORTH & JARDIN\u2019iC.ado Confessions and Experience of an Invalid- {To the Editor of tk* Morning Chronicle.)

Tax Daily Tribuns being some mo- rna older and Ths Skmi-Wbikly Tribuns some* hat yonnger.For more than twenty year* ibis journal has labored in wbal \u2019.ta: oj duelers nave felt to be the cause of Humanity Justice and Freedom, endeavoring to meliorat-.be condition of the oppressed and uofortunai , to honor and encourage useful exertion in whatever sphere, and to promote by all means tbe moral, iotel-lectual aod material advaacemeot of our country.It has aimed to be right rather than popular, and to espouse and commend to-day tbe truth that others may not be willing to accept till to-morrow.In pursuing this course, amistakes have doubtless been made and faults committed; but, having in all things incited our readers to think ana judge for themselves rather than adopt blindly our own or others\u2019 conclusions, we believe we may fairly claim for this journal tbe credit of having qualified ita reader* to detect and expose even ita own errors.To develop the minds of tbe yonog by tbe moat general,.thorough and practical Kdu cation, and to encourage aod stimulate Productive Industry, through free grants of Public Lands to actual settlers and caltivatorn, as also through tbe protection of immature or peculiarly exposed branches from too powerful foreign competition, are among tbe aims to which this journal has adhered through good and evil report, and which it steadfastly commends to American patriotism and philanthropy.As to the Oivil War now divastating onr country, we hold it to have originated in a rebellion more wanton, wicked, inexcusable, than was ever before known~a rebellion in tbe interest of the few-agaiust tbe many\u2014a rebellion designed to raise higher tbe walls of Oaste and lighten the chains of Oppression.Having done all we could without asurreoder of vital principle to avoid this War, and witnessed tbe forbearance, meekness and long-suffering with which the Federal Government sought to avert its borrers, we bold it onr clear doty, with that of every other citizen to stand by the Nation and iu fairly chosen rulers, and to secood with all our energies tbeir efforts to uphold the Unioo, the Constitution and tbe supremacy of tbe laws.And, though tbe rebellion has become, through usurpation, deception, terrorism and spoliation, fearfully strong, we believe the American Republic far stronger, and that tbe unanimous, earnest efforts ot loyal hearts and hands will insure iu overthrow.But on all questions affecting tbe objecu, tbe scope and nnration of this most extraordinary contest, we defer to those whom tbe American People bave clothed with anthority, bolding unity of purpose and of action indispensable in ¦o grave an emergency.In a crisis like the present, onr columns must be largely engrossed with the current history of tbe war for the Union, and with els-cidations of its more striking incidents.We shall not, however, remit that attention to Hie-rature, to foreign affairs, to agricultural Progress, to crops, markeU, Ac., Ac., which has already, we trnst, won for Plie Tribune an honorable position among iu cotemporaries.Onr main object is aod s^all be to prudoce a comprehensive newspaper, from which the careful reader may glean a vivid and faithful history of tbe times, oot merely in the domain of action bat in that of opinion also.As our facilities for aeqairtog information increase with years, we trust that an improvement in the contents of onr j ournal is perceptible, and that, in tbe variety and fullness of intelligence afforded, we may still hope to \u2018make each day a critic on tbe last.\u2019 In this hope, we solicit a continnanee of tbe^eosroas measure of patronage hitherto accorded to our journal.TERMS.DAILY TRIBUNE : $6 per annum.To Canada $7.56, including U.8.postage.SEMI-WEEKLY : $3 per annum (104 issues) ;
