There i, a call for our wool in England.


The railway mania has been Checked


There has been a great advance IN turPehuhe'
hu, United States tallow is entIrely n'S'cc'eu'


The duties Of foreign wheat aud -four had been
SLIGHTLY reduced, but there was not much actlH''y
in The market. American PROVISIONS are ''I' l"
demand. ,.


The britannia had 10 passengers from Liver
oool for Halifax, 70 from Liverpool Tor Boston,
and 3 from Halifax for BostOn-So--among iaen'
Mr.. Samuel Wslon asd Sir Allan McNab.


Hitherto the cycle oil the seasons has beir'ended
Sir Rober, Peel. Four good haryesis III success,
sion huye filled his exchequer-- led the sIOmachs
of the lieses--made the nation prosporous-the
peope conlented Alas! the scene Is Changed
tho evil day has come upon him, and has found
him unprepared to face it, Famne-gaunt, hor.
rible. DESTROYING iamine--seems impending
Fears have seized the public mind. In Ireland
matters look appaIing-in England gloomy. Tie
granares of tie continent are eXhauS.ud. The
cornfeds Of the VistG!a, .ne Danube. and the
Ebe, are barely sufficient for the local wants Of
..aie inhabitants. he nation is it cOmmo'ion; and
the cry of .open the ports and let IN corn, duty
free!" is heard, on all sides. reverb"rated from
ever, part Of the empire. The "prossure from
without" has made itself heard in Downing street.;
and faith in the sliding scale--Pee's sliding scale
lis gono forever. A third Of the potato crop in
Ireland is Destroyed. The 60, ,crnment has sent
scientific professors to the scene of the mischief,
aud the awful truth is out that this large portion
of the peoples food--the esculeni that Cobbett
abhorred--is unfit fr use. What is to be done
in this terrible, this unlooked.tor emsrgency!-
"Open the pors!" is The exclamation; and there
stands the shverng premier, like reed IN the
wind, paraly wed between affection for his sliding
scaie ana the horrors Of public famine. There
he is, balancing the pros and cons! But necessI.
tv is superior to consistency, superior even to law
The PORTS MUST BE oPFNED! O'ConneII, who pre-.
tends 10 be The tribune of the Irish people, goes
| bey ond this He demands grant Of public mo-
ney to the extent Of million and halt, 10 be
expended in the purchase of iood-he calls for a
tax of fifty per cent. on the absences, and u tax
of ten per cent. Oh the rtsdents-he asks for the
prohibition of corn and provisions leaving the Is.
nd--and the prevention Of ds;lIlerles consum.
ing grain. Large demands, ihcse--wlll they be
conceuud? a day or ~;,l solve tho question
and i'll the meantime speculation will find wide
margin for the exercise of It's Ingenuity.


Tho sliding scale--lhat cunning scheme tc
make food artifciaIIy deur-is in the crisis Of its
fate. Swept away now, as 1t will be, It's reimpo
ston will be impossible 1t IS gone fore.
Peel is good actor; his ''shiyerirg" is probably
simulated, not real. 1t is suspected by those who
appear 10 know him best, that his leanngs are to-
wards liberal commercial, in C ,ntradIstnctiou
10 monopost, poIicy.-EWopean.
