ridge-pole of the American con- tinent\u2014the dividing line between Kansas and Utah.The head-waters of the Platte and those of the Colorado\u2014tributaries respectively of the Atlantic and the Pacific\u2014each gush out inice-fringed streams, within pistol-shot of the summit.The road passes through a gap, or depression in the range, withsharp, snow-spotted mountains, nearly destitute of vegetation, rising on either side two thousand feet above it.It is well beaten, and easy for wagons, and offers no obstacle to a railway so serious as those among the Alleghanies, upon the Pennsylvania Central and Baltimore and Ohio roads.The famous ¢¢ Ute Pass,\u201d claimed to be the easiest through the Rocky Mountains, is four miles south of this, and about three hundred feet lower.The view from the summit, down both sides, is a series of great troughs and trenches of spruce-pine forest, ribbed with sharp, rocky hills.\u2014 Letter from Pike's Peak region in Tribune.\u2014 The Tribune says :\u2014If anybody wants to edit The Vicksburg Sentinel, he may be edified by the following brief history of some of the men who have figured in that position ; Dr.James Hagan took hold in 1837, had a number of street fights, fought a duel with his brother editor of the Whig and was killed in 1842, in a street fight, by D.W.Adams.His as sistant, Isaac C.Partridge, died of yellow fever in 1839.Dr.J.8.Fall, another assistant, had a number of fights, in one of which he was badly wounded.James Ryan, next editor, was killed by R.E.Ham- met of the Whig.Next came Walter Hickey, who had several rows, and was repeatedly wounded ; he killed Dr.Meclin, and was soon after himself killed in Texas.John Lavins, another editor, was imprisoned for the violence of his articles.Mr.Jen: kins, his successor, was killed in the street by H.A.Crabbe ; Crabbe was murdered in Sonora.F.C.Jones succeeded Jenkins, but soon afterward drowned himself.\u2014 Henry A.Wise made a speech yesterday at Portsmouth, Va.He declared before God that he would never submit to the election of Lincoln, but didn\u2019t say whether he should proceed against the Rail-splitter by personal assassination, or by marching a force against the United States Treasury and the White House.Wise doesn\u2019t seem to have read George Saunders\u2019s letter, which forbade Virginia from going out of the Union, and only allowed that luxury to the Cotton States.Mr.Wise ought to take warning by the fate of John Brown.However, he might very properly escape hanging, and be sent to a lunatic asylum.At any rate, Gov.Letcher and the legal authorities of Virginia will be able easily to take care of him.\u2014 Tribune.COALITION AT WARSAW AGAINST FRANCE.\u2014An immense sensation has been created in Paris by an article in the Opinionne Nationale headed \u2018\u2018 The way to prevent War.\u201d It shows that great anx'ety is felt in the highest quarters about the Warsaw Confer: ences.The article commences by asserting that the meeting of sovereigns at Warsaw is nothing else but a conspiracy against France.The English Cabinet, aided by Prussia, has acted a go-between in this bastard reconstitution of the holy alliance.Austria will not wait to take the defensive in Italy, now that she is assured of a certain amount of support from Russia and Prussia, and, indeed, why should she defer an attack on her enemy until he has 300,000 men to oppose her.Her plan is to occupy Modena and Florence, and then ask for a congress to re-establish her in Italy, on a footing little different from that of Florence and Bologna.Victor Emmanuel has only the sea by which to get to Turin.There would be an end of the unity of Italy, and then all the idea of restoration would come victoriously uppermost.It is hoped, at Warsaw, to intimidate France by the phantom of an European coalition, and to force her, out of fear of a general war, to look on passively at the shameful spectacle of an Austrian restoration in Italy.To crooked manceuvres let us oppose well defined situations.Let France recognize Victor Emmanuel as King of United Italy.Let ber tell Austria that any attempt against Italy will be considered by France as a declaration of war, and followed by an immediate intervention, and we venture to say, all warlike propensities of Austria will evaporate.CarrTAL Conviorions.\u2014Last year there were in England and Wales 52 capital convictions, and nine executions followed, all for the crime of murder.Price ONE HALF-PENNY.PROHIBITION oF Liquor Trarric.\u2014The annual meeting of the United Kingdom Alliance was held at Manchester on Tuesday.The principal speakers were the Dean of Carlisle, Mr.Washington Wilks, and Mr.Ayrton, M.P.The principal topic of the evening was the proposed bill which they are anxions the Legislature would pass, for enabling a majority of ratepayers to suppress the sale of intoxicating beverages in their respective districts.The Dean of Carlisle, in his speech, said, they had every encouragement to work, for he had recently seen in Shrewsbury 1061 producible teetotallers, who had been induced to hecome so through the efforts of Mrs.Wightman, a clergyman\u2019s lady.Of the 1061, 203 were women, and a number of these females had set to work, and were reclaiming and clearing the streets of Shrewsbury of all the unfortunates there.REVIVAL IN INpra\u2014The London News of the Churches has some interesting items in regard to the revival in India.In Tinnevelley it iseffecting much, and continues to spread.In Chota Nagpore conversions are proceeding most rapidly.Ninety were baptized in January.A missionary writes in an Indian journal that in the neighborhood of Punchi, ¢\u2018 the gospel is spreading like fire in the jungle.As many as eight hundred villages have received the gospel.So many Coles were pouring into the station from the jungle that three missionaries were occupied all day in giving them instruction.\u201d The Lieutenant Governor of Bengal visited the district in January, and was greatly astonished at what he saw.His Secretary remarked to the missionaries\u2014* There was never seen such a sight in India as this.\u201d This referred to a gathering of about two thousand native Christians, at which he was present.The American mission at Ahmednugger is receiving many new converts.ReLIcs.\u2014AÀ few days ago, says an English paper, as some workmen were engaged in excavating ground for building purposes in Great Freeman street, St.Ann\u2019s road, in Nottingham, they accidentally turned up a mass of warlike and other implements, which were undoubtedly handled by the inhabitants of Britain before the Roman invasion.They were discovered two feet from the surface of the ground, and were as follows: \u2014Nineteen celts, ten of which are four inches in length, and some of them, when exposed to the air, crumbled away at the touch; six spear heads about seven inches in length and two in breadth\u2014these are perfect; there are also three broken fragments which originally were of the same size and character; eight fragments of swords, and a knife or dagger seven inches long by one inch broad.Mr.Dickens's Prorits.\u2014The Critic says that the last very feeble emanation from Mr.Dickens's pen\u2014*\u2018 Hunted Down\u2019\u2019\u2014had a six months\u2019 run in America before it was printed in All the Year Round, and Messrs.Harper paid over to Mr.Dickens £1,000 for the privilege.When reprinted, it filled exactly ten pages of the English periodical, so that Mr.Dickens really made £100 per page by this very inferior production.Parar, SraTes.\u2014 The Perugia Gazette states that emigration from Viterbo coutinues on so large a scale that even the clerical party are frightened at the magnitude of the demonstration.The emigrants bave signed an address to the Emperor of the French, in which they state they have left their native town in order not to have the grief of witnessing the restoration of priestly misgovernment by the flag of Sol- erino.: AMBASSADORS AT TurIN.\u2014The good effects of the- connection which now obtains between the Courts of St.James's and of Prussia seem to be manifest in regard to Sardinia.The English and Prussian Ambassadors are the only ones who remain at Turin.The fact is honourable to both nations, and as free .and Protestant countries the testimony which is thus.passively borne will not be without its value.SPEECH OF VICTOR EMMANUEL TO THE NEAPOLITAN.DEPUTATION.\u2014 The following is the substance of his.Majesty's address:\u2014*\u2018\u2018 Austria still continues to threaten, but not long since I received a note from her through the Emperor of the French, which was full of passion.Austria is preparing for next Spring, but then with your assistance 1 shall have 400,000 in arms.I shall perform my duty as king and soldier; let us all do our duty as Italians.The Pope himself now writes to me with mildness and kindness.The powers of Europe are displeased, but none of them except Austria threaten Naples.\u201d Tue Excuisu VoLUNTEERS UnpEr Frre.\u2014The correspondent of the Daily News at Naples says that, on Friday last the British legion were under fire for the first time.The Royalists came out in strong force, and the English were opposed to them and drove them before them within the walls of Capua.Two of the legion was killed.Tagine CHLOROFORM BY MisTAkE.\u2014The Hungarian journals state that a carter made free with some bottles of which he had charge, thinking they contained excellent liquor.The contents happened to be chloroform, and two of the peasants to whom he gave a glass died, and his own life is despaired of.SOMETHING LIKE NvGGETS.\u2014The Australian papers state that a nugget, weighing 834 oz., was recently found by the Koh-i-Noor Company, at Ballarat, at a depth of 400 feet.About 100 oz.of gold in small nuggets lay around it.In shape this monster piece of gold resembles a leg of mutton.A nugget, weighing 27 1bs., is also reported to have been discovered at the Kiandia diggings.\u2014 A monument is about to be erected in Gloucester, England, to Bishop Hooper, on the spot where he was burnt.A few years ago the remains of the stake and chain were excavated there.rd, 304 TERMS OF ADVERTISING IN THE DAILY WITNESS.For Advertisements not exceeding 2

friends of the cause from a distance, are respectfully invited to be present to-morrow afternoon.The hour of meeting is from 4 to 5 o'clock.\u2014 The plan of having specific subjects for each day of

pugilistic exhibition at the Theatre on Thursday night, the Guzette says :\u2014\u201c Long before half-past 7 the doors were besieged, and before 8 o'clock, the hour of performance, the house was \u201ccrowded with members of Parliament and blacklegs, \"Colonels and shoulder-hitters, together with a fair representation of commerce, all eager to gratify their feelings for muscular exhibitions,\u201d &c.Another paper says there were only three or four females present.That was a precious category | \u2018\u2014 At the Police Court yesterday, Hutton, the Steward of the Mamelon\u201d was brought up, charged with theft of money and a silver watch, belonging to Capt.Urqubart, He pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to six months\u2019 imprisonment, with hard labor.The Magistrate also fined a man in £12 10s., or three month's imprisonment, for selling liquor without a license.# Hard labor\u201d might well be added to confinement in such cases, where the person convicted chooses the alternative of going to jail.Sometimes while the unlicensed vender is resting himself in jail, his traffic is.going on as before! In circumstances like these, can nothing be done to shut up the premises ?\u2014 On Thursday, Nov.8th, Principal Leitch of Queen\u2019s College, Kingston, was duly installed into office in presence of the college and the citizens.\u2014 A dinner was to be given to the Hon.John A.McDonald, on Friday the 9th inst., by the electors of the County of Brant.\u2014 The * Sinners Friend\u201d has been translated into 2% languages.More than a million and a half of copies have been printed of the Euglish edition.~- Thirty thousand copies of Professor Phelps Still Hour\u201d have been gold since January.\u2014 Count Cavour has assured the Universal Israelitish Alliance, that \u201cthe Sardinian Government will do all in its power that the child Mortara, in whom the public opihion of Europe is so strongly interested, may be restored to his family.\u201d APPOINTMENT OF A DAY oF THANRSGIVING.\u2014~We dre happy to understand that it is the intention of the Government to appoint a day of National Thanksgiving THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.for the abundant harvest and the returning prosperity of the country.We feel assured that all classes will receive this announcement with satisfaction.A proclamation will appear shortly fixing.the day which will be at an early date.Mr.Hocan\u2014The Advertiser says:\u2014The Government have at last obtained some authentic information as to the fate of Mr.Hogan, M.P.P., and it leaves little reason to hope that the unforfunate gentleman is yet alive, or that he left Canada, at all, It is expected that in a short time the clue obtained will prove him to have been murdered in the neighbourhood of Niagara, for the money, $200, in his possession.Dr.Wivnsuie's Seconn LECTURE.\u2014The second lecture contained a repetition of much of the valuable information which was given in the first, together with a large amount of practical advice, which, if carried out, the doctor felt assured would cure a large class of invalids, and would make many more proof against the attacks of disease.One of the points on which he insisted most strongly was abundance of fresh air, that is, air that has throughout the day been purified by the genial influences of the sunshine, and which, to ensure its purity, should always be inmotion.To this he added a careful system of gymnastics, omitting such dangerous feats as tossing cannon-balls and moving on a ladder at an elevation, where a fall would be exceedingly dangerous.There was no advantage in this, and caution was a necessary characteristic of a good gymnast.Two things he proposed as almost necessary additions to the appliances of the public schools: a good gymnasium, and copies of the best statuary, whereby children might be made acquainted with the true beauties of \u201cthe human form Divine.\u201d The most important and most feasible of these two, the crection of gymnasiums, might be done at small expense.They should always be free from dust or anything in itself prejudicial to health.The Doctor said that the important relation between health and bodily strength was very little understood, and gave it as his opinion that it was the grand omission in all works on Hygiene, modern as well asancient.He recommended strongly the use of the dumb-bells, prescribing for male invalids to begin with 50 lbs.each; for female invalids 18 lbs.; for those in health double those weights should be used; or, as a general rule, the dumb-bell should be a third too heavy to be held at arm\u2019s-length.The Doctor concluded the lecture, like the former one, with practical illustrations of what might be accomplished by regular and persevering practice.Tue LATE SIR GEORGE SimPsoN.\u2014We learn from undoubted authority that the statement copied from an English paper respecting the late Sir George Simpson was incorrect.He was in his youth clerk in the office of a Colonial Produce Broker, and not of a Sugar Refiner, as stated.It is understood that the property left by Sir George is about £150,000, half of which is to be invested in real estate in Britain, and entailed upon his son ; the balance being mainly disposed of in legacies to his daughters.It is not likely that any successor to the Governorship of the Hudson's Bay Company, with similar powers to those which he possessed, will be appointed, inasmuch as all matters of importance can now be much more easily referred to the head-quarters in London than formerly.Tee GraxpE LieNe MissioN.\u2014We have just received the Register of this Mission's proceedings for the last year, from which we learn that the American Baptist Home Missionary Society, which has for the last eleven years supported most of the preachers in connection with the Grande Ligne Mission, has decided to discontinue this aid on account of the numerous other claims upon it, and the difficulty of raising funds.The friends of the Mission will, therefore, need to contribute with increased liberality to make up for this serious deficiency.In our opinion, the Grande Ligne and other denominational efforts should be united with the French Canadian Missionary Society, whose broad catholic constitution can include all, and that this united Society should have a suitable agent constantly traveling in Canada to collect funds, another in the United States, and a third in Britain.The churches, when formed by the Missionaries, might connect themselves with any evangelical denomination they chose, or with the Evangelical Church of France; whilst the mission work proper, and the educational institutes, could be carried on by the Society, managed as it is by representatives from all the ¢hurthes.The Grande Ligne Iiducational Institution has had: from 26 to 35 scholars, whose progress was good.The various preaching stations have been in a prosperous state, and Roman Catholics generally are much more accessible than formerly.Seven persons have, during the past summer, been baptized in profession of faith at St.Marie.At St.Pie 40 individuals bad formally resigned their connection with the Church of Rome, chiefly on account of a dispute about the site of a new church edifice.The Girls\u2019 School at Longueuil has had an average of 36 pupils for the year, several of whom have been baptized on profession of faith.The congregation in Quebec is increasing, and four persons have been baptized there.In Montreal public worship has been held every Sabbath, and several Roman Catholics are visiting the Missionary for conversation.gradually advancing in Britain, and obtaining that hold upon the affections of religious men which it has long had in the United States.The following extract from & letter in the Boston Recorder, written by its cor~ respondent in Britain, is part of a description of the Autumnal Meeting of the Congregational Union of \u2018| England and Wales, which took \u2018pldce this year ât Blackburn, Lancashifé :\u2014 \u201cThe introduction of -the teetotal question was a A Harpy CHANGE.\u2014The Temperance Reformation is\u2019 novelty.The strong feelings that have been known to prevail on both sides, prevented the Committee giving its sanction hitherto for the gbstainers to endeavor in & public way at these meetings, to make converts of their brethren.But of late, from what I can learn, it appears that many of our best and ablest ministers, and most influential laymen, have adopted the perfectly sober system ; and 80 it was permitted to Mr.S.Morley, a princely London Merchant, to move a resolution setting forth the direfal evils of intemperance, and calling upon the Assembly to use its influence for the suppression of the special evil.The Rev.J.H, Wilson, the New Secretary of our Home Missionary Society, and a veteran in the teetotal cause at-Aberdeen, seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr.Baines, M.P., who bore a sixteen years\u2019 testimony to the value of the practice, both physically and mentally, and met with the unanimous approval of the largest number of the ministers and church representatives that were together at any one time, It was considered to be something rather wonderfal.I may add that scarcely a bottle of wine was seen on the dinner-table to which the four hundred sat down day by day, and that but very few of them partook even of beer.I remember that a few years ago, when the autumnal meeting was in Manchester, decanters full of port and sherry almost covered the boards.So you see that in this respect progress has been made by us.Does the fact give to the Union any better right to remonstrate with the slave-holding churches of your country?It used to be said, I know, when we directed attention to that dark blot on your escutcheon, ¢ wipe out the drunkard\u2019s stain on yours; make yourselves pure before you come to remonstrate with us about our sing, which we see and feel, but don't know how, speedily, to be rid of\u2019 It may be that American exhortations are producing their designed effect upon us, and that we are consequently emboldened to renew ours.At all events, the usual anti-slavery resolution was passed, but wholly unaccompanied with speeches.\u201d CANADIAN Urimz.\u2014 We have to call the attention of our readers to the record, (in a late issue,) of no less than four cases, in which sentence of death has been pronounced in Canada, besides accounts of several recent murders, the perpetrators of which will, it is hoped, yet be convicted and sentenced.In view of this terrible state of our country, should not searching investigations be made into the causes of crime in Canada, and the best means of prevention?On this painful subject, we copy the following remarks from the Montreal Herald :\u2014* Day after day have we lately been called upon to record the perpetration\u2014too often with impunity\u2014of the most diabolical crimes, of attempts to enforce Lynch Law, and of partiality aud extortion on the part of the local magistrates, in Upper Canada ; and this morning we publish a perfect chapter of horrors\u201d\u2014murders, poisoning, attempts to poison, poisoning a well, incendiarism and burglary,\u2014 from the columns of our contemporaries in that section of the Province.There can be no effect without a cause ; and one of the causes of this hideous state of things, we think there can be little doubt, is to be found in the careless neglect, and more than careless abuse of their powers by the local magistracy.\u201d Yet, if the Herald had had its way, the last matricide would yet be living among us.FACETIÆ OF THE \u2018LATE AMERICAN ELECTION.\u2014We Lave to add to \u201cThe House that Sam Built,\u201d and such scraps of the same humorous kind as we may have published, the following story from Springfield, Illinois :\u2014 In one of the central counties à pro-slavery spouter was declaiming with great vehemence about \u201c nigger equality\u201d and other kindred topics, which the so-called Democrats delight to roll under their tongues, when he attempted an illustration thus :\u2014 \u201c Suppose the Republÿcans should win\u2014what would be the result?Let me draw a picture.You, sir, [pointing to a well-dressed, good-looking man in toe crowd] at the next election, with your honest face and patriotic heart, would march up to the polls and deposit your vote for, say Stephen A.Douglas, the people's choice, Following you would come a big, greasy, sweating, rank, kinky-haired, thick-lipped, crooked- ghinned negro, filled with the passions and ignorance common to his race, treading on your heels, and jostling you in the crowd.Holding a ballot in his hand, he would deposit it in the box for, say Abraham Lincoln, thus neutralizing your vote, and doing so much to reduce you to the nigger level.What should you say to that, sir ?\u201d - \u201cI should say,\u201d responded the man interrogated, \u2018that the nigger had a great sight the most sense.\u201d It was a mixed crowd, and that speaker subsided.We have also the opinions of Shakespeare on the matter.It is said that you can find a quotation in, Shakespeare to suit any event, and Mr.Hosmer, of Toledo, cites the following to show that the poet had the late Pennsylvania election in his eye :\u2014 We have the heart's blood of the House of Lancaster!\u201d Who else than James Buchanan, who lives at Lan- cagter, was intended by the demand, \u201c James of Lancaster, resign thy crown! Thou hast deceived me.\u201d And\u2014 # Here behold the pale ashes of the House: of Lancaster.\u201d And then, inimitable Sir John Falstaff, in the fulness of heart, exclaims\u2014 \u201cBuck! Buck! I would I could wash myself of the Buck !\u201d And who except Stephen A.Douglas did the great bard point to, when he exclaimed, \u201c Douglas is discomfitted !\u201d Or when he made Douglas say : \u201cI am the Douglas fatal to all those That wear those colors on them.\" Again alluding to Douglas\u2019 pilgiimage to, see his mother,\u2014 .« Mother ! mother ! mother! O my dear mother ! Do I see you!\u201d Qur Hannibal Hamlin was doubtless intended in those lines to put in the mouth of his enemies : \u201c Hannibal drives back our troops, And conquers as he lists.\u201d FINANCIAL REVIEW.ASSATS.\u2014(Continued.) ; \u2018The next item of assets is Landed or \u2018ôthier property.Though second on the list, this item by no means ranks next to gold either in\u2019 point of'seeurity or évailabléres.A building is not always worth what it cost, and the money invested in it is practically locked up.Banks cannot purchase property, except for actual use ; they NovemBER 10, 1860 re may take it, however, as security after a debt is contracted, The figures under this head mostly represent the anhount invested in Bank buildings and furniture, which are well known to be costly and valuable.A good Bank office is said to attract business and deposits.But the benefit may be purchased toe dear, for if the amount invested in buildings cripple the resources of the Bank, as it may, if too large, no amount of business will compensate for the evil.Our Banks have not erred in this direction, however.The next item is Government Securities.Most of our Banks are bound by their Charters to invest a proportion\u2014 generally one-tenth of their capital\u2014in Bonds of the Government.In plain English, they are bound to lend the Government so much.The Bank of England had its Charter granted on condition of lending «i! its capital to the Government; and this it does substantially, even down to the present day.Our Canadian Banks cannot be expected to do this; but most of them hold Government Bonds\u2014that is, promises to pay\u2014for a larger amount than their Charters require.They get from five to six per cent.interest on the amount, and the asset is secure, besides, being, in most cases, readily available.Promissory Notes, or Bills of other Banks come next; but this item, though fourth on the list, is second only to gold in point of availableness,\u2014 the bills being payable in gold on demand.Unlike private individuals, Banks never keep other Bank Bills by them; but have a regular system of changing them for gold or its equivalent.Every day, therefore, or at most every week, the notes of other Banks are turned into gold.The next item is an important one\u2014Balances due from other Banks.This is composed, to a small extent, of the balances floating continually between one Bank and another in the same District; but the greater part is made up of balances kept in England or the United States, to be drawn against as business requires.New York is the monied centre, not only of the United States, but to a large extent of Canada.Hence a considerable portion of the surplus funds of our Banks is deposited there.But a Bank will aim to keep a reserve in Great Britain too, to meet the Bills of Exchange it draws.Hence large amounts are sometimes owing to our Banks by their London agents.These reserves in New York or Britain are sometimes swelled up by amounts which ought to be held in specie ;\u2014they generally bear a small interest, while gold lies dead in the vaults.But the temptation to make a little extra interest ought not to prevail with a Banker who desires to be absolutely secure, The two last columns of assets are headed Notes and Bills Discounted, and other Debts not before included.\u2019 These columns are the most important of all, and demand a separate article.Upon them it is that the profit or loss, the success or failure, the wealth or weakness of a Bank depend.If a Bank is only strong bere, any weakness in another point may easily be remedied.A low stock of specie may be replenished, a balance due to a foreign agent, may be paid off, circulation may be governed according to the Banker's wish, if the money of the Bank has been placed in proper hands; but if it has been, or any considerable portion of it, \u201c locked up, \u201d\u2014that is, lent to parties who cannot pay it back in reasonable time-\u2014embarrassment and derangement are the inevitable results.And if any considerable portion has been lent to those who cannot pay at all, the Bank may be forced to suspend.In another article we shall proceed to discuss in detail the probable character of the sums composing this item, and take the opportunity of noticing what is legitimate business for a Bank and what is not.COMMERCIAL.MonTRrEAL, Nov.10 \u2014Noon.Morning dull and chilly; thermometer, at 7 A.M, 389; at noon, 42°, Market for Breadstuffs dull and declining, with still lower prices for Flour.: \u2014 Relative to the prospects in Britain for Butter, we make the following extract from a private letter :\u2014 « Prices aré now very high for really fine qualities of Butter; 1128 i8 asked for No.1 Corks, and may still go higher from present appearances.There ate 76,000 less milch cows in Ireland this year than last, and according to computation this must cause a deficiency of about 230,000 firkins of Butter.However there is no scarcity yet, as they say farmers hold large stocks.Really Good Canadian, if here, just now, would sell from 858 to 90s ; but all depends on quality, as there is a large lot of Inferior, or grease, in the market, which must now probably be held over till next \u2018year.i .\u2014 The income of the Grand Trunk Railway for week ending 3rd November, shows a large increase over that of the corresponding week in 1859.The figures are, $84,866 82¢, against $58,476 65¢, for same period of last year; the increase is $26,390 17c, or \u2018About:45 per cent.The total traffic-from 1st July to 3rd November, amounted to $1,210,165 85e, Against \"$892,877 89c¢, for corresponding \u2018pertod of 1859, showing an increase of $317,278 16c, or about 35} per cent.The working expenses tof the road are not, probably, much increased over last year.MONTREAL WHOLESALE MARKETS.Frour.~Very slow of sale and declining.We hear of $5,274, for No.1.Superfine being refused yesterday afternoon, but there are parcels offering this morning at 23c.less.A lot sold for $5,26c.Wuear.\u2014Yesterday, $1,20 was said to be asked for -& fine shipping lot of U.O.Spring, (about 10,000 bush.,) -and not taken.Burrer.\u2014No change to note.Asnes\u2014 Pots, $6.50 ;

Indian Summer fades too soon; Bat tenderly, above the sea, Hangs, white and calm, the Hunter's moon.In its pale fire the village spire Shows like the zodiac\u2019s spectral lance ; The painted walls, whereon it falls, Transfigured stand in marble trance.O'er fallen leaves the west wind grieves, Yet comes the seed-time round again ; And morn shall see the State sown free With baleful tares or healthful grain.Along the street the shadows meet Of Destiny, whose bands conceal The moulds of fate that shape the State, And make or mar the common weal, Around I see the powers that be, I stand by Empire\u2019s primal springs ; And princes meet in every street, And Lear the tread of uncrowned kinge.Hark ! through the crowd the laugh runs loud, Beneath the sad, rebuking moon ; God save the land a careless hand May shake or swerve ere morrow\u2019s noon.No jest is this ; one cast amiss May blast the hope of Freedom's year ; O1 take me where are hearts of prayer, And foreheads bowed in reverent fear.Not lightly fall beyond recall, The written scrolls a breath can float; The crowning fact, the kingliest act Of freedom, is the freeman\u2019s vote.For Pearls that gem a diadem, The diver in the deep sea dives ; The regal right we boast to-night Is ours through costlier sacrifice.The blood of Vane, his prison pain, .\u2018Who traced the path the pilgrims trod; And hers whose faith drew strength from death, And prayed her Russell up to God.Our hearts grow cold ; we lighly hold The right which brave men died to gain ; The right, the cord, the ax, the sword, Grim nurses at its birth of pain.Your shadows rend, and o\u2019er us bend, O, martyrs! with your crowns and paims ; Breathe through these throngs your battle songs, Your scaffold prayers and dungeon psalms, Look from the sky, like God's great eye, Thou solemn moon, with searching beam, Till in the sun of thy pure light Our mean self-seekings meaner seem.Shame from our hearts unworthy arts, The fraud designed, the purpose dark : And smile away the hands we lay Profanely on the sacred Ark.To party claims and private aims, Reveal that august face of Truth, To which are given the age of Heaven, The beauty of immortal youth.So shall our voice of sovereign choice Swell the deep bass of dutydone, And strike the Key of time to be, When God and man shall speak as one.DANESBURY HOUSE.\u2014Cnarrer XVIII.(Continued.) EVIL COURSES.The months and the year went on, and the names ofthe young Danesburys became a byword in Eastborough.What was it that was blanchiag Mrs.Danesbury\u2019s cheeks, and rending their father\u2019s heart?\u201cThe boys have become confirmed drunkards!\u201d they whispered to each other.It was so.Not occasional ones, as was the case when Robert first went home, but habitual.Night by night, sometimes early, sometimes not till morning, they would reel home partially intoxicated, or be brought in helpless.One day a farmer residing in the neighbourhood, met Thomas Harding, and stopped him.\u201c What's going to become of those two young \u201cThey are carrying on their game.\u201d Thomas Harding, a hale old man now, shook his head.\u201cIt is a sad thing.Mr.Robert never comes to the factory, and his father cannot get him to it.\u201d \u201c1 would not keep him at home in idleness,\u201d eried the farmer, indignantly.\u201c Mr.Danesbury has no other resource, cannot turn him out to beg, or starve.\u201d \u201cWouldn't I, though! He would look out for himself, if he were forced to it; and he won't have his father always here.I should send him back to Loudon, and let him shift for himself.\u201d Thomas Harding was silent.few others did.\u2018 How much longer does Doctor Pratt intend to keep on the other, Mr.Lionel ?\u201d \u201cKeep him on!\u201d echoed Thomas Harding.He He knew what .\u201c He is a partner.\u201d \u201c Well, it is Pratts own look out,\u201d returned the farmer, \u201c but if he retains Lionel Danesbury he won't retain patients.The wife of our carter, Ann Jones, was taken ill yesterday afternoon.Dr.Pratt had notice to attend her, and was asked to come himself, for she was afraid of young Danesbury, after what she saw of him when he came, half-seas over, to that boy who was caught in the thrashing machine.\u201d \u201c I heard of that,\u201d interrupted Thomas Harding.% So did all Eastborough, I should think ; but let me go on.Pratt was sent for yesterday, but he was out, and young Danesbury came.He was all right they say, except being little shaky, and talked and cheered up Ann Jones so pleasantly, that she was pleased he had come, instead of the old gentleman.\u201d \u201cI am glad be was all right!\u201d again interrupted Thomas Harding.\u201c You have not heard the end,\u201d said the farmer, significantly.\u201cMy wife had been in to see Ann Jones, and made her a present of a bottle of brandy, knowing it\u2019s sometimes wanted, and had drawn the cork, for the Jones's don\u2019t possess a corkscrew, and had put it loosely in, and left the bottle on their kitchen mantleshelf.Ann Jones wasn\u2019t over quick, and Mr.Lionel was sometimes in her room and sometimes waiting in the kitchen, He spied out this brandy, and said to one of the women, that he would take a spoonful of it, for he was thirsty, and she brought him a glass and some cold water, and left him.An hour or so passed : they wondered he did not come back to the patient, who was getting very bad, and one of them went to call him.There he was, lolling on the bench, as drunk as a lord, and the brandy bottle three parts empty.\u201d \u201c Too far gone to be of use ?\"\u2019 uttered Thomas Harding.\u201cToo far gone for anything.And who would trust to a drunken man ?My wife happened to go there, just as they found him, and she ran home again, and sent a messenger tearing off for Mr.Pratt.The old doctor was at home then, and made haste, and was not a minute too soon.But, suppose he had not been found ; the woman might have lost her life.\u201d \u201cIt is very distressing,\u201d exclaimed Thomas Harding.¢ Tt is what we cannot put up with,\u201d returned the farmer.\u201cMuch as we all respect Mr.Danesbury, we cannot be expected to lose our lives at the pleasure of his son.So, in future, if old Dr.Pratt can\u2019t attend himself, when anybody's ill, we shall call in the opposition doctor.I would not trust a cut finger to Lionel Danes- bury.\u201d The farmer\u2019s prophecy proved to be correct.Mr.Pratt was compelled to put away Lionel Danesbury.He dissolved the partnership, and took another gentleman in his place; so that Lionel, like Robert, was an idle vagabond on the face of the earth, Their evenings were, almost without exception, consumed in drinking, and their mornings were wasted in sleeping off the effects of the liquor.Their mother scolded, and implored and wept; and their father reasoned, and persuaded, and threatened by turns.As for them, they would promise amendment in the lights of the mid-day sun, when their heads were racked with pain, and their hearts softened by contrition.Mr.Danesbury repeated to them the question of others\u2014what would they be fit for, what would become of them, if they continued these courses 2 look at their already clouded intellects and shaking frames! (To be continued.) \u201cCOME NOW; NO NOISE!\u201d We read once a sad story of a mother who had brought up a family of boys to be quiet as girls, and congratulated herself on having such good children, but they all died before reaching manhood, because they had no health to resist disease.Parents must let their children play, and get accustomed to the noise which boys, who are worth anything, are sure to make.Arthur's Home Magazine tells the following story of a mother who was afraid of noise: \u201c No noise, now, Alfred\u2014mind.\u201d \u201cWhy, mother, have you the headache, or is any one sick in the house ?\u201d \u201c No,\u201d very coldly, \u201cbut I do not choose to have a noise.So when you have hung up your hat and satchel, each one on its own peg\u2014mind, on its own individual peg\u2014you may come into the parlor and sit with me until dinner is ready.\u201d \u201c0, but mother,\u201d said the boy pleadingly, \u201cI am so tired of sitting already\u2014I do so want to run and jump a little.And besides, our school has a half holiday, and how would I look sitting in the parlor all the afternoon.\u201d Here the boy showed his opinion of such a proceeding by a prolonged whistle.\u201c Alfred I\u201d \u201c Well, but mother, I must do something.\u2014 Stay, 1 have it; I will go into the back yard\u2014 here is a bit of chalk in my pocket\u2014and I can jump hop-scoteh there delightfully.\u201d \u201c By no means, Alfred, Jane has just washed down the brick pavement; and the last time you were there, you whittled sticks all over the grass plot.It took her nearly an hour to set it all to rights.\u201d \u201cThen the garret, mother, I will promise, indeed I will, not to disturb anything there.But I told Ned Wells that I would ask you to let him come here to play with me, and the garret is such a first rate place for hide-and-seek.\u201d \u201c Play in the garret,indeed! and have everything at sixes and sevens! you might know, Alfred, that I would never consent to such a plan.And as to having any of your romping schoolfellows to soil and disorder the house, you may go and tell Ned Wells and the rest that they had better stay in their own homes.Then when you \u201cÀ come back you may either go to your own room and learn your lessons, or sit with me in the parlor, as I told you before.It is not every little boy who has such a good mother, and such a nice place to be in, as you have.\u201d \u201c No, it is not, indeed,\u201d thought Alfred bitterly, as he sullenly sat down on the stairs after his mother had left him, and leaned his head on the steps above him.He was in no mood to estimate his blessings.Then he passionately broke forth\u2014 \u201c O, if mother would only smile and speak kindly ! she never says \u2018 dear\u2019 to me, never puts her arm round me, as some other boys\u2019 mothers do, nor lets me tell her little things I want so much to say to some one.Then that hateful parlor | everything so straight and stiff! I must never touch a book, because they are placed just so\u2014nor make the least noise\u2014and I am so tired of being still.\u201d Here Alfred fairly broke down, and sobbed some minutes without control.But it is not in the childish temperament to remain long in one mood, and the boy soon started up from his listless attitude with all his former energy.\u201c She said I might go and tell Ned Wells, and I mean to.But I shall have my holiday somewhere, I know; there's room enough in the streets, if there\u2019s none in the house.\u201d What became of Alfred in that dangerous place \u2014\u201c the street school\u2019\u201d\u2019\u2014may be gathered from the after events of the day.\u2018\u201c Where is Alfred ?\u201d said his father, as he rose from rather a late dinner ; I saw his teacher, Mr.Ashton, on my way down street, and he told me he had given the school a half-holiday.Have you permitted Alfred to go anywhere this afternoon ?\u201d \u201cReally, I never thought of him all dinnertime,\u201d said the now conscience-striken mother, \u201cbut the truth is, he came home as usual, wild as a deer, and wanted to set all the house in an uproar, besides bringing some of his rude companions to help him.So I told him to go and forbid their coming, and then to return immediately and study his lessons.\u201d \u201c And where do you suppose he is now ?\u201d \u201cIn his room of course, where he has perhaps fallen asleep.I will send Jane to see.\u201d Jane went as she was directed, but returned with the intelligence that Alfred was not in his apartment, and everything was exactly as she had left it when \u201c putting to rights\u201d in the morning.Mrs.Meredith was now thoroughly alarmed.\u2014 She had felt on leaving Alfred, that perhaps she had been a little hard with him, but was too proud to confess it, and give up some to his gratification.Afterwards she had become absorbed in the contrivance of some piece of fancy-work which she had in hand, and forgotten all about him.She now urged her husband to go at once to Mr.Wells\u2019, and even followed him to the street- door, looking wistfully up and down the wide avenues, in the vain hope of beholding her truant oy.Several hours passed wearily away; it was beginning to grow quite dark, and yet there had been no tidings of Alfred or his father.Just as Mrs.Meredith's feelings were becoming wrought to the highest pitch, her husband returned, leading Alfred by the arm.But such a figure! Mrs.Meredith's carpets were soiled for once.Every part of his clothing was saturated with mud, and his neat cap and jacket torn in such a manner as to be entirely useless.\u201d \u201c Where do you suppose I found this boy ?\u201d said Mr.Meredith, sternly.He then proceeded to relate that after a vain quest at their neighbor\u2019s for his missing son, he was told that he had been seen helping to drawa fire engine, in the midst of a crowd of noisy boys and swearing men.He had followed him from point to point, until at last he gained sight of him on one of the wharfs, the centre of a ring of disorderly lads, who were encouraging him to fight with another boy much larger than himself, In this way his clothes had been torn and disfigured, and just as his father reached him the boys had finished their sport by tossing him in the mud at the side of the wharf.\u201c From whence they left me to rescue him as best I could,\u201d added Mr.Meredith, \u201c for they soon ran off when I made my appearance.Had I been a few moments later he might have been drowned.\u201d Very thankful as Mrs.Meredith was to have her son restored to her again, she could not be induced to forego her usual stern discipline.So with many bitter words of reproof, the boy was sent supperless to bed, and his little heart that was just then softened enough to have warmed with a kind and loving admonition, steeled itself thrice hardened against his misjudging parents.The result of the afternoon\u2019s exposure was a violent fever, that threatened to deprive them forever of the child, whose lively ways made the only light of their sombre household.But the \u2018worst effects were the acquired tastes of Alfred for low amusements, and the freedom and lawlessness of the streets in comparison with the forced restraints of a loveless home, It is not necessary that children be allowed to beeome torments to their indulging parents.Yet bear with and encourage their lively dispositions.If it is health for their delicate lungs to be noisy, teach them to sing\u2014turn the usually discordant sounds into music.Help them in their play.\u2014 Do not be afraid of becoming a little child again.Happy will you be if the purity and unworldli- ness of the child nature may be yours once more.- , = = row?Cr And you will be repaid a thousand fold by the clinging love and confidence of those to whom you are bound to give more than mere food and clothing; for their fature welfare or misery depends, in agreat degree, on the early impression which it is in your power to make.\u2014 Home Mag.\u2014\u2014 \u201cHOW ARE THE CONVERTS OF LAST YEAR STANDING ?\u201d (From a British Magazine.) Since our return from Ireland, in the month of August, the above question has been asked by many, and asked by some with an earnestness that indicates deep interest in the answer.This consideration has led us to feel that it deserves a public reply.Last year it was the impression of many, but chiefly of those who were never in the work, that what was called the Revival, would soon pass away, and that little fruit of its reality would remain.In this, the Lord be praised, they have been disappointed\u2014Rappily disappointed, we may say.Having had much personal conversation with many of the young converts themselves, in different places, during a sojourn among them for twelve days, and with others also, who are fully competent to judge, we are truly happy in being able to state, that they are, as a whole, standing well.And not merely standing according to the profession they then made, but many of them are evidently growing in grace.We say, observe, \u201cas a whole,\u201d for all have not stood.Some have grown cold, others, alas, have gone back ; but the proportion, blessed be God, is exceedingly small.And by far the greater part are going on in a way that proves the divine origin, and external reality, of the great and glorious work of last year.We witnessed a freshness about numbers of them, that was truly refreshing to our own hearts.They manifest great desire for the pure word of God, and much tenderness of heart when Christ is preached.Settled peace, through the knowledge of Christ, and the forgiveness of sins, still characterize them.The large meetings of last year, and the excitement connected with them, have passed away, but the reality remains.A blessed work of God's Spiritgoeson.On several occasions, we observed, during the preaching of the word, when the speaker was led to dwell on the love and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, numbers were bathed in tears.One, we particularly noticed one evening, wept very much.Some time afterwards we had an opportunity of speaking to her, and asked her if she was happy in Jesus.\u201c0, yes!\u201d was her instant and joyous reply; \u201cbut I cannot bear you speak about Jesus without feeling this way.\u201d \u201cYou could not doubt the love of His heart, could you?\u201d \u201cO, no! no!\u201d \u201cNor the cleansing power of His precious blood ?\u201d \u201c0, no! sir.It has washed all my sins away.I am quite happy in Him, glory be to his name, but I can\u2019t help feeling.\u201d Ah, dear Christian reader, and who would seek to hinder, or suppress, such sweet tenderness of heart at the mention of the name of Jesus?Would to God that we saw and felt more of it.It has power over the hearts of others.It had over ours.In passing through the congregation, while they remained in the field, we met with many similar cases.Even some who were lying prostrate, told us they were quite happy.They had been \u201c stricken \u201d last year.An overcoming sense of bodily weakness seems to follow deep spiritual feeling in this part of the country.Whether of joy or sorrow, it has been fitly termed * physical prostration.\u201d We have not found the same thing, except in a few cases, either in Scotland or England, although we have witnessed scenes of as deep awakening in both places.Neither has it been the same in the South of Ireland.CHRISTIAN TREASURY.* They are not in trouble as other men, neither arc they plagued as other men.\u201d\u2019\u2014Psalm Ixxiii.5.Tre ExceprioN.\u2014The tried Christian sometimes looks around upon the ungodly, and wonders at God's dealings with them.Judging by sense, he is stumbled, until, like Asaph, he repairs to the sanctuary or the word.Yes, how often is it the case that the saint is poor, and the sinner rich; the saint is sickly, and the sinner healthy ; the saint is deformed, and the sinner is well-shaped ; the saint struggles, but cannot succeed in temporal things, while the sinner seems to get wealth without difficulty.Howisthis?Is there not a providence ?Does not God love his people ?Yes ; but God deals with saints in time in reference to eternity ; the present is preparatory to the future.Envy not the sinner, and choose none of his ways ; the present is all the pleasant be will have.He has his good things now, aud the believer hath bis evil things.He may write after every day\u2019s sinful pleasure, after carnal amusement, and after acquisition of property, \u2018\u2018after this the judgment.\u201d ¢ The rich man died and was buried, and in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments.The beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom.\u2019 Contrast their end, their eternal portion, and then thou wilt bless God if he has put thee among his poor, tried, and afflicted people.Dwell not on present appearances, but remember they stand on slippery places, and will soon be cast down into destruction.Sinner, thy prosperity is thy snare ; thou hast thy best now ; and dying out of Christ, all that remains for thee is an eternity of weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth.Flee, O flee to Jesus for life and peace ! ¢« We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen ; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal .\u2019\u20142 or.iv.18.Ce The \u2018\u201c MONTREAL WITNESS\u201d is printed and published by JOHN DOUGLL, Proprietor, at 36 Great James\u2019 8 .House headjof,Drummond Street, Montreal.* N A Et el ay La AT en i a SEE EERE Learn bates se aan rons ica AR SES "]
