      France. "What Shakspeare Said Of A Certa...

      FRANCE . "What Shakspeare said of a certain sort of ambition is being forcibly examplifisd by Louis Napoleon and his foolish advisers . The' _Duly News' correspondent informs ui tbat , 'The whole democratic party will abstain from taking pari in tbe election of ] the 3 rd November in the Department du Nord . The resolution taken spontaneously by the republicans of this department has received the approbation of the

      democratic press of Paris and of the departments the organs of republican opinion . The royalists feel anxiety with respect to the _consequences of this abstention , which baffles tbe _calcul-stions on wbich were based the law of the 31 st of May . Many of those who voted tbe law , or who hare approved of it , begin to perceive thit they have given to tbe republicans a rallving sign , and that the whole democratic party marches asone man to the conquest of universal suffrage / , . __ . . „ the

      A rumour has been in circulation during past week that Mr . Special-ConBtable Napoleon was really on the eve of effecting an alliance for political purposes with tha Emperor of Russia . The confidential organs of tbe French government , however , stoutly deny tbe truth of the allegation . The' Con-Btitntionnel' says : — ' As to tbe allegation { of _| tbe •¦ Ernes * * onthe projects which France might have on "Rhenish Prussia , it is needless for us to say that itis a very bold one . "When the armistice which had suspended hostilities in Schleswig had transpired Russia and France proposed to England , either to put an end to tbe quarrel by a common intervention , or at least to allow Denmark to follow up her success , and re-establish her authority in Holstein . England set aside these two plans through consideration for Prussia , and the Danes , out of deference for their

      allies , baited on tbe banks of the Eyder . The consideration wbich bas been twice shown for a state which notoriously breaks its engagements , and secretly supports the cause which it dare not openly defend , certainly constitutes in the eyes of the mediating powers a more rigorous right to demand that Prussia should return to the letter and spirit of the treaty whicb it bad signed witb Denmark . The state of affairs , moreover , changes to the prejudice of the Danes , as time goes on , and the winter season advances . The ice will remove the obstacles which

      protect Scbleswig , and Denmark will be threatened on her own territory , which we have guaranteed by treaties . It would be iniquitous to maintain a statu quo which subjects Denmark to such a disastrous hazard , when stopped by a kind of moral harrier . She has abstained from following up the success of ber arms on the German territory of Holstein . It may be consequently understood tbat if Prussia and Germany do not execute in a proper time the treaty of Berlin , the Conference of London would relieve

      Denmark from the obligation which has been imposed on it , and engage even to lend assistance in the event of one or more of tbe states of Germany interfering ia tbe war . But in supposing the most alarming prognostications to be realised ; supposing that all the efforts of tbe Conference cannot set aside a conflict tbe most improbable , it is evident tbat the theatre of this conflict wonld be Denmark , and that neither Silesia , nor Khenish Prussia , as the ' Times ' states , will bave anything to do with it . '

      The' Pouvoir , another government organ , has au article to the same effect . The antecedents of Napoleon Louis justify what lawyers call a prima facie belief in the probability of such an understanding , but we have no fears for the result . We think there is much truth—more , we fancy , than the writer or his master supposes—in tbe following observations ofthe * Pouvoir * : — ' Louis Napoleon has nothing to gain hy a war , however popular it might be . His future is more widely pointed out tban the English journalist appears to think , and we may say that on this head his personal interests are in accord witb his intentions aud with his duties '

      "We will tell the editor of this latter journal , moreover , that a war with England would not now be ' a popular war , * however much so it might bave been a short while since . Frenchmen and Englishmen now know each other too well , and Frenchmen are also ' wide awake' to the aims and objects of their _yuasi-President . If this functionary wants to play at War let him not select as his opponent a constitutional country . He bad very much better not . It is with sincere regret , we are compelled to announce tbat the health of the stem and true republicans , who are in the power of ihe government , bas suffered under tbe severe discipline to which they have been subjected .

      The -Morning Chronicle's' correspondent has been reluctantly obliged to allow that sucb is the case . He says : — ' The political prisoners recently confined in the fortress of Doullens bave now been aU removed to Belle Me sur Mer , with the exception of M . Barbes and M . Blanqui , wbo bave been retained in one of tbe prisons af Paris , in consequence of tbe bad state oftheir health . It appears from the Republican papers of Saturday tbat the authorities refused to allow tbe families of tbe convicts to see tbem , wben passing through Paris , or to allow any sort of communication . The reason given for tbis rigour is the discovery of a conspiracy among tbe prisoners to effect their escape ; but the ' National ' says that tbis is a mere pretext . '

      Poor Barbes , however , it seems will not avail himself of thb indulgence , lest it should seem be seeks a clemency by reason of bis former wealth and repu . tation wbich his poorer and less famou 3 fellow sufferers are unable to procure . The 'PresBe' pnblisbes the following letter , which he has addressed to M . Brives : — 'Do me the favour , my dear Brives , to hasten to ihe Minister of the Interior , and to summou him , in my name , to cause me to be sent to Belle Isle . The

      report of Dr . Ferns on my health bas nothing to do with tbe case . After my formal declaration to the Inspector-General Lucas , " that , whether ill or net , I intended to be sent away withthe others , I can only consider an exemption as an attack on my moral consideration—on my honour , as an old republican , who has never asked anything ( as I bave no need to say ) , and will never ask any favour of any government whatsoever . —Yours most truly , _« A . Barbes . 4 Prison of Douuens , Oct . 20 . *

      The steam-boat containing the political prisoners passed by Nantes on the 23 rd , on its way to Belle Isle sur Mer . The prisoners were kept below , and the deck was occupied by gendarmerie mobile . The prisoners chanted the Marseillaise , ' cried •* Vive la Republique ! ' and waved their caps from the cabin windows . From the bridge of Pirmil and tbe quay , a crowd of persons responded to the cries , and threw wrealhs towards the steamer , but tbey were carried away by tbe stream . Precautions were taken by the authorities to prevent an outbreak , A later article in the * Constitutionnel' from the pen of M . Veron , bas drawn much attention from the pledges it contains , that Louis Napoleon will abstain from _taking the initiative in the question of the prolongation of his powers .

      The recent change in tbe Cabinet does not appear to have _producedauy-better agreement between Changarnier and the _Cuonapartists . The former had an interview with the President on Sunday , iu ihe course of which it is said the latter demanded an explicit explanation of the General ' s intentions with respect to the prolongation of the President ' s powers . The explanations given appear not to bave "been by any means satisiactory , and a violent scene took place , in which recriminations were bandied about on both sides . After General Changarnier had left the palace , a private meeting was called of

      i some of Napoleon ' s most intimate friends and con-1 fidential advisers , in which the situation of affairs , i as respects the President ' s interests , were fully dis-( cussed . At this meeting it is said that advices of a _i Tery violent nature was tendered . It is even stated t that some of those who took part in this conciliabule * s went so far as to suggest the propriety of the _immec diate arrest of General Changarnier , and some otber I parties supposed to ba hostile to the President ' s int terests . This proposition was felt to be too rash to I be acted on ; but a determination was expressed to I bring matters to a crisis , one way or other , with t the least possible delay .

      _General _Near-mer , the officer second in command _^ _. _ir-carmy of Paris , under General Changarnier , ims ota _dismused by the sew Minister of War . ( _G-n- _^ al _Niumayer Js the particular friend of General C Changarnier , nnd is the only officer nnder his comomand in whom he bad implicit confidence . The c _« consequence of all this was a panic at Ibe Bourse _vi which bronght down the funds to a considerable ex ! tf tent . On Monday a plot , ascribed to tbe Socialists , b but which bears every appearance of having been

      h hatched by the authorities , bas caused the incarceratitioh of MM . Gant _/ Melza , and Penart . The "' * Times' correspondent , of course , is circumstauliliaJ'inhis _revelations , but they are of the ' mare ' s _finest ' character which distinguishes the production idof that _veracious authority . One of the persons ar-: reresledhas been set at liberty already , so foolishly iiuhas the plot been contrived . - ¦ " - ¦ " 'M ; T _^ vel , the head-coachman to the late king , _fchaTia _^ puMihed a scurrilous pamphlet , ia which

      France. "What Shakspeare Said Of A Certa...

      he accused the provincial government and the ministers nnder General Cavagnac of having availed themselves of the carriages and horses of the exking . Most of these parties have expressly and dis . tinctly given « ctfacby'the lie . His pamphlet appears to have been fabricated in the same factory ai that of Chenu , who so foully aspersed the character of M . Caussidier , and , like it , is equally devoid of truth . The cause must be weak , indeed , which is forced to have recourse to such dirty work .

      The naval division consisting of the ships of the line , Friedland , Yalmy , Hercules , Jemmappes , Henri IV ., Jena , Inflexible , Jupiter , and two steam corvettes , quitted Cherbourg on tbe morning of the 26 th for Brest . The wind was so violent , that at night fall a part of the fleet was only about a . mile from the breakwater . On the 28 th this fleet made its appearance in Torbay , and anchored about two miles from Berry Head . The' Times' correspondent says : —** I shall watch the movements of the fleet , the ships all look in good order and clean , and they haudled their canvass tolerably quick on coming to an anchor . ' This is coming to rather' close quarters ' with the chance of a shindy , in which France , if Louis Napolean gets his own way " , will be on the opposite side to England .

      There is evidently much excitement among the intriguers for power , the dismissal of General Neumayer was revoked at a Cabinet Council held on Tuesday morning , and confirmed at another , held iu the afternoon . This decision was announced to M . Neumayer by the Minister of War and the President , who expressed at the same time the intention of bestowing another post upon tbe displaced general . Iu answer to this announcement General

      Neumayer wrote a _lettet to the Minister of War declining any other post in compensation . General Changarnier was invited to name the successor of Neumayer , but resented the compliment as derisory . An extraordinary meeting of tbe commission o f permanence was called for on Wednesday . ' The contest , ' says the correspodent of the Daily News , 'between General Changarnier and the Elysee verges to a crisis . '

      The * Evenmenf mysteriously states that ' after the breaking up of the council of ministers on Saturday M . de Lahitte had a long interview with tbe British ambassador , and it is said that he was to have had another conference in the evening with M . de _Kisseleff , the Russian chargp d ' affaires . We also know that in the saloons of Lord Normanby the diplomatic body conversed very earnestly on tbe attitude France was about to assume as regarded the Emperor Nicholas . Lord Normanby maintained the greatest reserve . ' Late accounts from Lyons , confirm the fact of the discovery of a conspiracy , and the arrest of M . Gent : other arrests have also taken place .

      By way of gossip we are informed by one of the Paris journals that M . Emmaus Lind , a chemist of some distinction , and brother of Jenny Lind , has just arrived in Paris , and is about to proceed to Havre , to embark for the United States , to join his sister .

      HESSE CASSEL . There has been a continued movement of troops towards the Hessian frontiers , and we are at length informed that the die is cast . A Bavarian and Hungarian corps must have entered _Hesse Cassel . An Austrian battalion accompanied the former corps . Four thousand men march from Italy to join the army in the Tyrol , which at present consists of 30 , 000 men . Fourteen Infantry battalions and four Cuirassier regiments march from Hungary to join tbe Bohemian arm }' , wbich at present consists of 85 , 000 men . Both of the armies are within _half-an-hour ' _s march ef the respective frontiers . Generals Schlick and Clam will be appointed to the command of the army corns in active service .

      None of the Hessian officers have yet actually quitted the service ; they are still performing their military duty , hoping perhaps that the contingency tbat would require tbem to act against their fellow citizens and the Constitution may not arise . It is probable this will really be the case , as the Hessians appear determined their opposition shall still be of that passive kind against which force is unavailing . Nothing has yet happened to interrupt public peace or order , and Cassel , which has set in motion whole armies to observe it , is in a state of profound tranquillity , less moved by tbe events itself tban tbe States around it . This statement comes by way of Prussia , and , perhaps , the later intelligence may alter the tone of the revolutionary policy .

      It is reported that Prussian troops have also crossed the Hessian frontier .

      BAVARIA . A Munich paper states that tbe King of Bavaria has rather unexpsctedly returned to his capital . The fortress of Bamburg is being victualled for three months . The Bavarian horse _^ Cuirassiers ) at Land shut have left that place , and proceeded in forced marches in the direction of Regensburg .

      HANOYER . A correspondent , writing from Hanover , on tbe 24 th ult , says : — ' While all the world conceived the ministerial crisis as ended , it now appears that it bas only entered ou a severer stage . Among tbe terms imposed by the remaining ministry were the removal of Count Kuypbausen , ambassador at Ber Iin , and the Adjutant Count-Platen . A few days ago a violent scene arose between the King and M Benningsen , in consequence of which MM . Scheele , Kielmansegge , Rossing , andLindeman were sent for . '

      SAXONY . The King of Saxony bas declined to receive the delegates of the Leipsig book trade , wbo desired to present a protest against the projected press laws . It is stated that a female Democratic Society has been closed by the police of the flourishing manufacturing town of Chemnitz .

      PRUSSIA . The military movements towards the Hessian frontier still continue , but in the detail there was nothing new of importance . General Habn bad been sent to Holstein witb a despatch from the Prussian government to the Staathatterschaft . In the present equivocal position of the German monarchies the following from the correspondent of the' Times' dated , Vienna , October 23 rd , will be read with interest : — .

      'Although some of the German , and particularly the Frankfort , newspapers have assured the public that Austria and Prussia are on the point of coming to an understanding , I ha . \ e good reason fot questioning the authenticity of the statement . Prussia insists that ber troops bave as much right to enter Hesse-Cassel as those of any other German Power : this the opposite party strenuously refuses to acknowledge , on ihe ground tbat only Federal troops can be employed in those States which , acknowledging thc legal existence of the German Confederation , are represented at Frankfort . ' The poet Freiligrath has received orders to leave the village of Bilk , in the neighbourhood of Dusseldorf _, where he was residing , and to quit the Prussian territories within a fortnight ,

      DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . Advices , dated the 25 th * ult ., state that a trifling skirmish . between some cavalry patrols in the vicinity of Kropp took place on the morning of the 23 rd ult ., in which , as usual , several lives have been lost on both sides , and some prisoners made . It bas been reported that tbe Holsteiners have captured seven Danish Dragoons who had ventured too far in pursuit , and that they had been brought into Rendsburg ; they admit , however , that an equal number of their own men were killed , wounded , and taken by the other side .

      Another more important movement is in contemplation , however , on the part of the Holstein clergy ; nobility , and landed proprietors , and which it is hoped may do some good . The 'Weser Zeitung' bas reported tbat a meeting of the above orders will take place at Kiel shortly , to take proposals of peace into consideration , as well as the kvy of taxes & c . . Much sickness is reported in the Danish army in Schleswig—principally typhus fever , of which some hundreds are suffering . The wet weather favours the spread of this disease ; bnt as tbe Danes bave taken care to provide convenient and comfortable hospitals for their sick ' and wounded , the loss in deaths will not be very great , and ; they have many very able medical men in the camp .

      The Weser Zeitung ' announces that the assembly of the Schleswig-Holstein nobility , & c , took place on the 24 th at Kiel ; on which occasion , it is said , they decided upon representing to the German Confederated _StaieB their inclination for a peaceable conclusion of the question at issue ; but upon what basis nothing has as yet been publicly known . . The city of Bremen , which has already subscribed the respectable sum of 100 , 000 Prussiau thalers , or about £ 15 , 000 ; intends to send further contributions , and other plaeeB are now imitating this example of munificence . In Berlin , however , the peace system , oi _mbicrlption , ij stlU _curied oil

      The Roman States

      THE ROMAN STATES

      Rome , Oct . 25 . —Although the Romans are not berantly merry this year , their October festivities are likely to be a good deal damped by the wholesale executions now going on . The general interest excited by the fate of Young Antonini , the ex-postoffice employe , accused of complicity in the attempt to murder Nardoni , the powerful influence used to iuduce the Holy Father to commute his sentence , and the delay in the execution of it , led to the hope , if not the supposition , that only the assassin himself would suffer the extreme penalty of the law ; but the appearance of the customary wooden tablets yesterday afternoon , withthe names , ages , and trades of the three persons about to be

      removed from the world this morning , showed the fallacy of such an expectation . The mother and other relations of Antonini were arrested , as is cu < - tomary here , in order that their presence at the execution might not excite sympathy or disorder amongst the crowd , and late last night the fatal intelligence was communicated tothe culprits themselves , wbo were immediately after transferred from the prison of St . Michele to tbe chapel , or conforteria , there to spend their few remaining hours of life in religious exercises and preparations for eternity , Domenico Pace , the assassin , is stated to have showed himself penitent , and disposed to

      accept the last offices of the church , but young Antonini , the poit-office employe , and Maurizi , the shoemaker , obstinately refused to bave anything to do with the ministers of religion , whose efforts to convert them were interrupted about three o ' clock in the morning by a message from the Fiseo , announcing tbat bis Holiness bad mercifully granted the prisoners their lives . The three unhappy _, wretches could not at first believe the change in their situation , and one of them , the assassin , was so seriously affected , by tbe revulsion of feeling , tbat he is very unwell this morning in the prison hospital .

      Of course many reports are current witb respect of tbis unexpected act of mercy , which is so far out of the usual routine of justice , that no one recollects a criminal's life ever having been spared . after the tablets were publicly exhibited . The Pope ' s own compunctious feelings , the representations of the foreign ministers , Nardoni ' s fear of reprisals and his consequent exertions , and the apprehension of a popular outbreak , are variously attributed as tbe

      cause . The 'Daily News' correspondent says : — 'I have ascertained that M . Freeborn , the British consular agent , never wanting in the duties of humanity , had a long interview on the subject yesterday morning with M . deRayneval , and , if report is to be trusted he threw all his influence into the scale of mercy * as deeming the men worthy of punishment , but not of death . ' Tbe same authority tells us pretty plainly the

      cause of the Pope ' s clemency . He says on this subject : •—• Before closing ray letter , I must state that the Pope's merciful intentions are now universally attributed to the significant hint of _General Gemeau , who , moved by the continual entreaties of Antonini's mother and sisters , and finding other arguments fail , informed Cardinal Antonelli tbat , in case of any attempt at rescue by the populace , he should leave the responsibility to the Roman troops ; not considering it his duty to interfere in similar

      cases . The correspondent of tbe « Daily News * furnishes some interesting details respecting the pardon granted by the Pope to the three criminals * Antonini , Mauriz , and Fabri , and the manner in which what is called 'justice' is administered to political offenders in Rome . Young Antonini , the only one of the three prisoners for whom public sympathy was strongly aroused , was condemned to death in virtne of the hundreth article of the penal code , an edict of Cardinal Albani _, who raged with Draconic severity

      against secret societies , under Pius VIII ., and who decreed those worthy of death wbo give or accept any order to hurt any one through party spirit . No spirit of tbe kind bas been proved against Antonini nor the slightest traces of bis belonging to any secret society whatever—no such order is proved , and , supposing him to have given it , the highest legal penalty would have been ten years at the galleys . The only way to justify the sentence of death would have been to prove the existence of a secret society or paity spirit , which bas not been done .

      The so-called pardon which bas been granted to tbem is to drag ont the remainder of their existence , chained to a prison will at Civita Vecchia , . in a damp range of cells , where the average of life is three years . . And this boon of ' His Holiness ' seems to have been extorted , by the fact tbat the soldiers threatened to mutiny , if called upon to act as executioners . All three have been sent to Civita Vecchia . The Pope set out tbe following day for Frascati , escorted by French and Roman cavalry , and went to dine with the Camaldolese monks , returning to Rome on Ibe same evening . He was , as usual , silently received by the people on passing through the streets .

      PIEDMONT . The Vice-President of the Chamber of Deputies at Turin has sent round notices to the members to be punctual in their attendance at the opening of the Chambers on the 5 tb . The court goes into mourning for twenty days for the death of the Queen of the Belgians . M . Ferdinand Barrot will quit Turin at the end of October , to return to Paris .

      SPAIN . The gallant General O'Lawlor , an Irish officer in the Spanish service , asd who for many years acted as the Duke of Wellington's steward in Andalusia , died on Monday week full of years and honours . General Narvaez not having been able to satisfy the demands of Gen . _Serrano , has quarrelled with him . The editor of General Pavia ' _s paper , the ' Patria , ' has wounded the editor of the ' Heraldo , ' Senor Mora , ina duel with sabres . The ' Patria' was seized again on Friday , and the ' Nacion' on

      Saturday , for obnoxious articles on tbe finance minister . The _Sahtauder journals state that a serious mutiny took place among the troops about to be sent to Cuba . These soldiers conceived that they had a right to the extra pay Riven to soldiers sent to the colonies , from the time they were ordered to set out for their destination . They , therefore , showed their discontent by loud murmurs and insolent language to their officers . The mutiny was finally quelled by the most energetic . measures ; a corporal and a drummer were shot , and fourteen privates put in irons .

      A despatch from the Captain-General of Barcelona states that five Carlist officers , namely , Major Porrou , Captains Pouzas , Viu , and Vendre , who all belonged lo the troops once commanded by the sanguinary Tristauy _, together with Aguda , an innkeeper , having attempted to raise the Carlist standard in the mountains near _Salsona , were surprised by a detachment of the queen ' s troops , and made prisoners , but having attempted to escape , were all killed . The officers were all put under arrest , and a court-martial ordered .

      PORTUGAL . The Duke defPalmella has just died . No one can doubt that the Queen Donna Maria is indebted to him for ber throne , bnt she did not evince ber acknowledgments to him . The life of the Duke had been despaired of some days past ; but the Queen , always ready to go , or to send , to inquire after her friends , did not take the trouble to inquire after Pfalmella . An earthquake was felt at Moncorvo , ' on the 6 th ult . It appears that the government , being informed of the necessity of giving work to the people in order to avoid a revolution , bas sent positive orders to begin working on the roads . Although postage is becoming cheaper everywhere else , it is augmenting in this country . '

      AMERICA . The news from America is very important . The excitement caused by the Fugitive Slave Bill is described as being greatly on the increase . A telegraphic despatch , dated Detroit , Oct 12 , says : — ' The slave excitement continues . The gaol is well guarded by our military , who are under regular army discipline . The negroes around the city are uttering awful threats . At Sandwich , in Canada , opposite Detroit , there are , at the least calculation , three hundred negroes , who lately crossed the river , and it is dangerous for a citizen

      from here to be seen among them . The house of an _Irinbnian , who informed of a negro fugitive now in gaol , was attacked last night , and guns and pistols were fired by both the assailants and those inside , and some blood was shed * . A large meeting has been held by the friends of freedom , at wbich the mayor presided . Speeches were made by the Hon . S . Bingham , mayor , and Messrs . Joy and Emmons . Some persons anticipate trouble when the negro is out ; he ia now awaiting his papers . A subscription has been raised , sufficient to purchase bis liberty should he be seat _back /

      The Roman States

      Another despatch , dated October 14 , Bays : — ' Some further attempts have been made to capture a number of fugitive slaves , and serious results are likely to follow . The authorities are using every precaution to suppress all attempts to rescue the alleged fugitives now in prison , and the gaol is well guarded by the military . ' The Herald , ' alluding to the foregoing intelligence , says : —• We would not beat all surprised to hear of a war of extermination breaking out

      between the races , which will not be confined to tbe west , but which will spread throughout the whole of the free states . After an agitation of twenty years , the slavery question has reached a crisis—the only crisis that could follow—and the scenes which the abolition fanatics laboured to produce in the south , between the black and white races there , are now in danger of being enacted in the free states . We shall look for later intelligence from Detroit with a great deal of interest .

      Tbe coloured people of the city of Brooklyn had held a meeting in reference tothe bill , and an appeal of the people of colour to the whites of the free states was unanimously adopted . At a public meeting at Boston , on the 14 th , on the subject , Frederick Douglass made an earnest appeal on behalf of the coloured race . We have also intelligence of another serious ship accident , and of a Jenny Lind riot at Boston . " _fThis latter movement , it is needless to say , arose out of the difficulty of obtaining access to her concerts . Barnum was anxiously inquired for by the crowd . We find the following in the 'Boston Daily Advertiser' : — ¦ '

      Cheap Excursion to England Proposed . — The ' Transcript' suggests , on the authority of a correspondent , that a line of first class packets will agree , provided 100 passengers can be obtained , to furnish a _pasiage to Liverpool and back , with good accommodations and * excel ! ent fare , for sixty dollars each passenger—to leave Boston about the middle of May next , and to sail on the return about the 1 st of August . It is stated tbat the trip can be made , including the expenses of three weeks' residence in London and three weeks devoted to excursions in various parts of England , at a cost of 100 dols . Such a trip , we fear , would be too cheap to he either pleasant or profitable .

      On the 14 th another steam-boat explosion occurred near Pittsburg , and four persons were instantly killed ; five or six others were dangerously scalded . Ih Montreal ( frem whence we * bave dates to the 14 th ) , preparations have been making on a large scale for the Grand Industrial Exhibition , which is to take place on the 17 th . 18 th , and 19 th ult . The specimens of wheat , copper , and _forrest woods , which will be presented on this occasion , it is believed cannot be rivalled in the world .

      The mining companies in the vicinity of Lake Superior are prosecuting their operations witb great energy and success . The recent developments , both in the copper and iron regions , are of a highly flattering character , and serve to dispel all doubts with regard to the feasibility of the enterprise . The connection of the lakes by means of a ship canal , which will soon he effected , will afford every facility for communication , and the mineral wealth of the Upper Peninsula will find an easy transit to all parts of the country , lt is estimated that the rough copper whicli will be sent down from Lake Superior the present year will amount to over two and a half millions of pounds . About 1 , 000 operatives are to be employed the ensuing winter , in connexion with the mining enterprise .

      CAPE OF GOOD HOPE . We have received journals from Cape Town to tbe 14 th of August , and from Natal to the 30 th of July . The most important news by this arrival relates to the proceedings in the ' Emegrante Grensgebiet . ' The boers were persisting in their attempt to deny access to or passage through the territory to all European traders or travellers of any description . Great discontent waa beginning to be expressed in the Cape Colony at tbe delay on the part of tbe heme government in sending out full authority to organise the legislative council on the footing announced in a despatch to Earl Grey . The Cape Town municipal commissioners have under tbeir consideration a proposal to appropriate the sum of _£ 200 towards the cost of a new build *

      mg for the public library . Mr . Byrne ' s emigrants bad mostly deserted _tbtiv allotments , and purchased farms indifferent quarters , or sought other more suitable avocations .
