Jkbforb Jupiter. 'BKPFOKP. PA., FRIDAY. >V 26, 1868 TBS SI KZ CANAL. This second world's wonder of 1868, was duly opened on Thursday the 18th inst., with imposing ceremonies. In the true spirit of the age the news of the opening and its success, was flashed throughout the civilized world the same day. A grand banquet was given at Ismaila a point tuid way between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, on the 20th inst., at which the Empress Eugenic and many other distil! guished persons were present. An immense fleet of first class ships has passed from sea to sea and demonstrated the sacecss of the enterprise. The success of this magnificent undertaking will be to the commerce of Europe and the world, what the Pacific Railroad is to America and the world on this continent They both mark engineer ing triumphs upon which the world, uutil very recently, looked as impossible. They are both grand successes achieved in behalf of civilization and commerce. And they both precede and usher iir great changes in the modes and courses ot international ex changes. While the Pacific Railroad bind.* the great model ol Republic ol all time in closer bonds of brotherhood, and brings into direct contact the newest and most active civilization of the world and the oldest, open ing, awaking, changing and reforming the hitherto scaled and changeless flowery king dom, the Suez Canal similarly brings to getber diverse civilizations and promises to wake to life end vigor ("gain the long silent cities of the Ea*t. Who can tell bu< that the magic wand ofbiodern science shall again make noted tynong the great marts of commerce, Cairo and Alexandria, Jerusalem and Dama-eus? Those lands for a thousand years given over to wild beasts and wandering Arabs, may again teem with busy life and flourish among the nations of the earths Truly the year ISO 9 seems des tined to ®trk such revolutions in the world as no previous year has ever known. Amer ica knocks at the gates of China and the great wall that has for two thousand years screened the flowery kingdom from tie eye# of the world crumbles to dust, and her imprisoned people pour fouith to the new world to make the acquaintance of a new and christian civilisation, and to compare it and its results with the system of confucius and his disciples. Europe breaks the bar riers of the east and the waters of the Red Sea commingle with the 3lediterraneao, and the spicy breezes of Ceylon and Araby the blest are wafted to the classic shores ot (irecce, and instead of Horn and Good flopc, Srftai and the Pyramids become land marks on the highway of the world's com tnercc. Such are the doings of th's year, not yet closed. What shall be the future results it is scarcely possible to conjecture. That these will be great and surprising be yond our highest anticipation there is not a shadow of doubt. In jhis grand age when the accumulated force, the momentum, of six thousand years of human effort seems compressing the significance and force of a generation into a single year, none may ca-t the horoscope or attempt to measure the capabilities of the near future. That events and issues will surely follow in the future, even greater than the grand accom plishments of the present we all know, what they will be none can tell. Mean while we gird us for our work and earnestly address ourselves to the issues of the pres ent as the best preparation for what shall come. ANOTHER good feature of oar financial condition as a nation exhibits itself in the export of specie. In the 7 months ending August Ist we exported only $37,250,000 in gold and silver against an export in the same period last year of $54,500,000. The export of specie in large quantities is always evidence that we are baying abroad more than we are selling. A deori u*o in export i indicates that we are coming nearer the j bounds of prudenee in our fort ign purchases than in former years. It is high t uie we j should cease to buy more than we stll and every indication r.f an approach to such a ! condition is a m i'.ter of gratification to every one who de-i.es the prosperity of the conn try. \ A LITE OF CROPS. —The following valua lion of our leading crops for 1868 is made from the reports of the Commissioner of' Agriculture: Indian Corn $559 512 460 Wheat 319 189 710 Rye, 29 683 677 i Oats, 142 434 910 Barley *29 809 931 Buckwheat, 20 834 215 Potatoes, 84 150 020 Tobacco, 40 087 942 Hay, 351 941 930 Cotton, 225 000 000 Total $1 814 668 915 It will be seen that Indian corn aud wheat i make over half of the whole aggregate ! amount. It further appears that our .kit- i ricu tural productions alone in a single yeat i amount in value to almost as much as the | national debt Indeed if all the crops were \ enumerated and valued they vrould doubt : less exceed the whole debt. In the face if j such tacts repudiation should never have j beoa dreamed of much less seiiousiy dis cussed. THE Canadians and the people of British Columbia and the Red River settlement continue to demand of the home govern- 1 ment either complete control of their own j affairs or the privilege of .joining their for- j paid attorneys, pettifoggers trying to play t the role of statesmen, under ruch circum- j stances would think of paying them to stay | away lroin us, as is proposed to be done by j a new reciprocity treaty. \\ E are heartily glad to loarn that Gen. ! Irwin will be a candidate for State Treasurer I and sincerely hope he may be elected. He ! made & good and efficient officer before and ! wildo so again. I o the meantime we would I not have our legislators forget that the | law wiih regard to the security given for! the saff-ty of the public funds and the man ! ner of their deposition sadly needs amend ments. t tR E storm swept oyer the whole Northern part of our country on the 18th and hub in-t., extending fiom Colorado to the Atlantic doing great damage along its whole course. There has been great lest among the shipping on the Lakes, and travel has been obstructed iu many places as well as telegraphic communication. It has also interfered to some extent with the working ol the Atlantic cables. Further particulars will be found in our news columns.

They have begun destroying the sugar plantations as a means ofwtot only hariassing the Spanish but also cutting off their revenue. It will doubtless be unwel come news to the lovers of sweet things generally, but it looks more like business tl|an any demonstration the Cubans have yet made. There is still hope for them, il we may judge from present indications. THE Indiau Peace Commission, of which our excellent fellow citizen, Mr. BJHTNOT, is now the Chairman, has recently been in session at Washington, preparing a report upon the doings of the season. Messrs. BRC.VOT and BISHOP were the only members who have personally visited the Indian country. They spent five weeks among the wildest tribes of tb'e South, accomplishing results which have the heartiest approval of che Board and of the officials at Washing ton. Other members supervised the ex tensive purchases of Indian goods in the Eastern markets. This proves to be the first year in the history of our Indian affairs that our savage annuitants have not been cheated in either the quantity or quality of goods supplied to them; that treaties have uot been systematically violated by our own agents and citizens; that their reservations have not been encroached upon by intrud ing .-windlers, under the protection of dis honest agents; the first year which has not been disfigured by a bloody outbreak of the frontier tribes. The Commission, imper fectly executed in many of its details as it has been, has proved a decisive success, and Congress will sustain and enlarge its pow.rs for still greater usefulness.— Pittsburgh Gazette. Foreign. The Suez Canal —Arrival of the Inaiigura th).i Fleet at Suez —The Success of the Grand Undertaking Exceeds all Expecta lions —The Election in Paris—No Dis tiii hances. EOYIT. Si'EZ, Nov. 21, via Alexandria, Nov. 21. —The canal inauguration fleet of forty five vessels his arrived here. They were not obliged to employ pilots, and the only diffi culty was that owing to their numbers ! some were crowded upon the banks of the canal at various points, but they got off without difficulty, the sandy bottom of the canal neither hurting nor holding them. Near Ismailia several steamers came into collision, but no serious damage was" done. Tie water in the canal between Suez and Ismailia is fully twenty feet deep in the shallowest part, and in sevetal places it is le.-s than twenty-five feet deep, but at all these points the canal can easily be deepen ed. Steamers drawing fifteen feet can nav igate the canal from Port Said to Suez with ease iu fifteen hours. The batiks do not wash as much as was apprehended, and the complete success of the great work exceeds all expectations. The arrangements here for the transporta tion and care of the visitors are excellent All the rolling stock on the Alexandria, Cairo, and Suez Railroad has been brought into requisition to carry the immense crowds, and the mails to and from Bombay have been touch delayed in consequence. The canal is now clear of shipping, the whole fleet having anchored iu the harbor "f Suez. Tomorrow the statue of'Waghorn, the English officer who first suggested the building of the canal, will be erected here, and on Tuesday the fleet will leave for Port Said, where a statue of De Lesseps, the builder and president director of the canal, will be tai-ed, and with this ceremony the inauguration fetes will terminate. The Empress Eugenie returns through the canal with the fleet, the Aigle takiDg the lead. PARIS, Nov. 21. —The Emperor of Aus tria is on his return from Egypt. PARIS, NOV. 21—5 P.

ANNEXATION. The Penult of Canadian CoiifeJeratiou— The Reciprocity Treaty—The Effect of Annxeation —The Haij breed Population. WASHINGTON, Nov 17. —It is very cer tain that our "loil" Canadian friends are in a quandary. Their imposing schcnio of a confederation turns out to be a burden not easily managed, and all around they stem to he losing ground. What they want is the help that "reciprocity" will give. That's exactly what they ought not to obtain. I have lying "before me a number of letters from leading Canadians who favor annexa tion. These letters have been submitted to the President, and were, doubtless, read by him with great interest. From one of these, written by a leading lawyer of Lower Can ada, a French Canadian, and one of the most accomplished gentlemen in British America, I make the following extracts. Addressiog a gentleman, now here in the interests of the radical party there, he says; "You know perfectly well that business is at a stand still; that being deprived of a market by the repeal of the Reciprocity treaty, our oomuierce is entirely broken down, that we are producing less than one half of what we have to pay for our impor tations ; that the emigration is going on at a most frightful rate, that one-filth of our cultivated lands will not give any crops this year (this letter bears dale in the early summer) for want of hands, and that our list of insolvents is longer than that of the whole Northern and Western States togeth cr. The same gentleman says further on : "With a renewal of the Reciprocity treaty the reacrionary and anti-republican element will agaiu raise its head, in consequence of renewed prosperity, and will again show it self hostile and defiant to the United States. The Tory party only look upon reciprocity as a new lease of power to them, and it seems to me that the friends of the United States and of republican institutions here have some right to ask the American Gov ernment riot to please its bitter enemies here at the expense of its friends. After eleven years advantageous eonimereisl rela tions to us, has the Tory party shown the slightest disposition to keep on more friend ly relations with the United States? Not at. all. The whoie.strength and power which they acquire through the benefits which they derived from the treaty was directed during the American rebelliuu against the United States as a Government and as" a people." From some personal knowledge ami much interesting information which have been given me, 1 em satisfied that the following things are true : First. The establishment of the "New Dominion" Confederation was originally part of the anti Republican plot in which France and England joined after the out break of our rebellion. Second. That it only changed front slight ly when the South surrendered, and that it was at once weakened by that fact. Third. That the failure to renew the Re ciprocity Treaty has destroyed the business interests of the British Provinces, ar.d is rapidly strengthening the ancxation senti ment. Fourth. That the original passage of the Reciprocity Treaty also saved Great Britain from a damaging annexation agitation, which is now renewed with greater earntjtitness. This fact takes the question out of its merely commercial relations, and makes it ono of grave political importance. Fifth. That the present British Ministry will only be too glad to see either indepen dence or annexation, or both, made accom plished facts. In saying this, I speak from minutes made of an interview recently had with the Hon. John Bright, By one of the leading English merchants of Lower Canada, who is also an advanced Liberal and an ad vocate of independence. He visited Eng land to ascertain, if possible, the opinion of the Ministry on these questions, and his interview with the President of the Board of Trade was by special appointment. Evidence to establish these various points and others were laid recently before Presi dent Grant, and, doubtless, will greatly in fluence bis judgment in the recommenda tions be may make to Congress. Newfoundland votes down the Confcdera tionists, and the half breeds on the Sas katchewan river are announced to be in re volt. "More power to their elbows," I say, though, entre nous, I beg leave to affirm my conviction that the latter are a bad lot. During a ehequred career as a volunteer it was my lot once on a time to be doing duty on the Northwest frontier. The Sioux were at war, and, it was understood, received sup plies of munitions from the Red river traders over in the Red river region. I visited Pem bina under orders to investigate matters, and went over to Fort Garry. There is no doubt at all that "Mr. Lo," of Dakota Territory, was aided in the work of murder by bis con genial half-breed brother in the Sas katchewan settlements. Gov. Wm. McDougall, whom the tele graph reports as encamped, within our territory is still a young man, who, formerly a Liberal leader in Parliament, has been re waided in this way for having helped the confederation scheme by aiding the forma tion of what i known as the "Coalition Ministry," of which be was also a member. It was only through the secession from the Liberal party of the Canadasof such men as Hon. George Brown and this new Governor that the home government was able to ob tain colonial support McDougall was for merly a reporter, and afterwards an as sistant editor of the Toronto Globe. lie was in the old Canadian Parliament four or five years, and an incident is told of him, which, in view of his present plight, is rather amusing. About eight or nine years ago he was making a bitter opposition speech, criticising the then Ministry, and wound up or.e of his paragraphs by declaring that "if! redress could not be had, the Canadians | must look to Washington." Ever since he • has been known as "Look-to-Washington McDougal'." He is_ looking thither now, with a different idea in view. The New Dominion Government have paid (or are to do so) the Hudson Bay Com pany three hundred thousand pounds. The white and half breed population, more half breed than white, I assure you, number about ten thousand, i suppose that one- • half of these are in the Red river settle- ; nieuts, near the United States frontiers. In j old days they helped materially to swell the Pembina vote. Vou remember that when ' the Democracy carried Minnesota, that "Mr. Lo" in his "breech clout" was a free : and independent voter. The balance of this semi-civilized population found at Fort York on Hudson's Bay, at various little posts, and across to the eastern boundary of British Columbia at Fort Selkirk, where there is a large settlement. From what I saw, it Ls certainly fair to say that the | civilization is semi—very. Of Indian popu- ! lfitrT>urt*;-TuttcwiraSi Tmcrfftioa Ytnjiatrsv the Chappcwaus, etc., Pain Indians and Esquimaux. Since we are probably to an nex the "New Dominion," it may be as well to inquire about the "noble red man." Ac cording to late reports the entire British Indian population is set down at about 150,- 000—30,000 west of the mountains, and the rest east. If anything would lead me to object to annexation, this would. California. Annexation of British Columbia—Alaskan Affairs. SAN F&ANCISCO, NOV. 16. —Vincent Collier, who arrived from Alaska and British Columbia this morning, cairies a petition, signed by forty prominent citizens of Vic toria, addressed to President Grant,, pray ing the annexation of British Columbia to the United Stale*. Another petition of similar import will be forwarded to Queen Victoria. The document is strongly worded, and sets forth with great force the insulated and helpless condition of the colonv, and the im perative necessity of forming a political alliance with the United Slates. Mr. Collier says the feeling has received a new impulse from the recent note of Earl Granville urging British Columbians to confederate witb_ the Canadian Dominion, they regard ing it little Jess than insulting, as it would iucrease their Burdens without affording either political protection or material re Kef. Advices from Sitka, Oct. 25, represent affairs as satisfactory. The health of' the garrison is good and the Indians are peaceable. The weather has been mild and the fisheries are prosperous. RASPAIL, the red Republican of Paris, has been in prison ten jearsandin exile fifteen, has been shot through the neck in a duel, invented a microscope, and done and suffered many other wonderful things. Our Sea Forces about Cuba. Considering the recent movements of Spanish fleets hither ward, and the diplo matic relations between the United Slates and Spain concerning Cuba, it will be in teresting for our readers to know the dig position of our vessels of-war. The Atlantic squadron, under the •com mand of Rear Admiral C. 11. Poor, is con centrated about the Island of Cuba and is almost constantly being reinforced, and in R lew days it will be stronger iti shins nnti guns than any two squadrons we have in foreigu waters. The following vessels at present compose the squadron : Powhatan 17 guns, Comodore David McDougal eoin mantling; she is the present flag sMp of Admiral Poor, and will bo rdeived by the Severn in a few days; Severn, 14 guns, Com mander It. It. Dowry, is to be |"ag shin; Albany, lo guns, Captain George it. Batch; Tuscarora, 11 guns. Commander W. \V. Queen; Seminole, 7 guns, Commander P. fl. Owen; Nantasket, 9 guns, Lieutenant Commander F. M. Bunee, is en route to her rendezvous; iron-clad Dictator, 2 guns, Captain E. 11. Colhoun; Saugus iron clad, 2 guns, Commander J. P. Fyle, This squadron, now in active service, consists of six wooden vessels and two iron-clads, the former mounting 73 guns, and the latter 4 heavy guns. In addition to the above vessels, there is but little doubt that the following vessels are to join the Atlantic squadron ; Iron clad Miantonoiuah four guns, Commander U. W. Shufelt; iron clad Terror, four guns, Captain K. G. Parrott; Nipsic, five guns, Lieutenant Commander Thomas O. Sel fridgo; Swatara eight guns, Lieutenant Commander Weld N. Aden. This vessel will proceed front here to Aspitiwall, and receive a lot of seamen on board, and thea return to West Indian waters; and if her services be required she will remain there, otherwise she will go to the East Indies via the Suez Canal This force adds four vessels I to the squadron and twenty-one guns to its ( force, making a total of ninety-eight guns, soma of them far exceeding in calibre any j on board of ships of other uatioDS in those j waters. The European squadron at present crui sing around the coast of Spain, under the command of Hear Admiral William Radford, consists of some of the finest vessels in our navy, as will br seen from the following list: The flag-ship Franklin, mounts thirty-nine guns and is commanded by Captain C. R. P. Rodgers; Richmond, fifteen guns, Captain .1. R. M. Muilaney: Plymouth, eight guns, j Captain W. IT. Macomb; Juniata, eight j guns, Commander S. B. Luce; Sabine, ' thirty-six guns, sailing frigate, Commander f J. (}. Walker. j ITEMS. THE trouble between the male and female medical students in Philadelphia appears to be ended. On Saturday 140 of the former UDJ 39 of the latter attended the clinical lecture at the hospital, and no disturbance occurred. THE President is represented to have said to Senator Wilson that he should advise, in his annual message, the consolidation of the debt into a four and a half per cent, loan, and recommend that Congress do not change ; the present rates of taxation. PttiNCE AKTHCR Fas settled down fjr a while at Montreal, but, mindful of the economic lessons ol bis august Ma. pays cur rent prices for articles needed, and takes back change, much to the disgust of Kin ucks who are on the make. No trouble or interruption from snow is anticipated on the Pacific Railroads during the winter months, precautions having been taken to provide against a season of thrice the severity of last winter. The real snow season iu that region does not commence until about the first of February and lasts until about the 20th of March or the first of j April. A DETROIT con-table discovered a partial- J ly intoxicated colored man who was carry ing a naked yellow male baby three or four ! davs old, rolled up in the skirt of his coat. ■ Being arrested, the man declared he had found the infant throw u out into the street, j and he was taking it home to his wife, who ] was entirely out of that household conveni ence, and "wanted one the best she knew ! how." An investigation showed that the ; story was true. IT is now known that the large naval force which the Government has been send- j ing out to the West ludics, and which vis supposed to have some connection with I Cuba, has gone to the Bay of Satnana, which wo shall take possession of in con- j fortuity with a treaty with the Dominican Government, and keep until the Seuate shall decide whether to accept or reject the : treaty. Two men in Kentucky who were hanged ; by a vigilance committee, bat upon whom: the work was not done very effectually, have j come to life and arc suing a dozen members of the committee for sixty thousand dollars damages. This is a very unusual case, j "\ igilance committee" is now a common name for a sort of organization that commits murder and does other violence in the name of law and order ; but of course the murder and violence must be the same before the law, whatever names they are done in, so that if the half hanged litigants get a ver dict in their favor there will be a clear ease j for the criminal couits against the vigilants. THE blessing on the Suez Canal and the sermon by Pere Baner, the Almoner of the ! Empress Eugenie, with the concession of religious liberty in Egypt and Turkey, mark an advance ol the Cross over, the dominions of the Crescent destined to be uiore potea tial in its consequence than all the crusades 1 and all the bloody wars against the believers in Mohammed, front fir.-t to last. Thus, through the material agents of modern i science, and peaceful triumphs of the Cross will not be stayed till they have covered the earth. Steam, the electric wire and trade have become the world-subduing missiona ries and teachers of Christianity. TIIK storms which were predicted for the first week iu October, in England, did not oecur, but a month later extraordinary tides caused much injury to property. The Thames has been swept from its mouth to Teddington Lock by a tidal wave such as very seldom visits English rivers. All the way from Greenwich to London the lower rooms and floors of wharves and warehouses were flooded. Higher up the height of the tide produced yet more unusual effect-. The towing path along the reaches above Bat ter-ea, although it has recently been iui proved, and was thought to be high enough to resist any possible tide, was completely submerged, and the water lay iu great lakes in the private grounds near Barnes. For the first time, in the history of Thames ra eing.the steamboat carrying a referee was her funnel being stove' in ttic the referree having to he sent 011 in a steam laundb. THE late elections iu Brooklyn have re sulted in a complication of outrages on pop- 1 ular rights, which are the more alarming ! from the apparent indifference with which they are received by the people. Their i simple announcement ought to startle the public more than an earthquake ; for, if an j intelligent community like that of Brooklyn ; can quietly and patiently permit themselves * to be openly defrauded at the ballot-boxes, and their decisions in the choice of their officers be set aride by a few political adven tures, wc must admit that republicanism is a failure, and prepare ourselves at once for some other form of government. The out rage in Brooklyn is not a new thing. It was began last year, when the Democratic 1 authorities denied the Republicans the right of any representation in the appointments of the elective officials ; and, being entirely successful in their nefarious schemes then, they repeated them this year, and have consummated their villainy by fradulenty returning certain of the Democratic candi dates as elected, the principal one being the sheriff. Now it is not to the Republicans that we are indebted for the exposure of this monstrous wickedness; but to Judge. Joseph F. Barnard, of the Supreme Court, and to District Attorney Morris, of Kings County, both of them prominent members of the Democratic party. Mr Morris ex plicitly avers that of the long list of officers and members of assembly returned as elect ed by the Democratic canvassers the only one who has been actually chosen by the votes of the people is the mayor. The sub ject has been laid before the Grand Jury of Kings County ; and, while waiting for legal , action by the properly constituted authori-i ties, it may be set for the people to remain ] quiet. But we must confess that the supineacss of the Brook ly nit es has a very discouraging aspect. 1. IT is duly paragraphed that "Henry Ward Bencher's salary will be reduced to $21,000 this year." Whether or not it will be considered proper to take up a subscrip tion for him is not stated. Estimating liis further income, from lecturing and writing, at some $12,000 per annum—audwt is all that—the reverend gentleman will have only a paltry $33,000 a year to live upon. It is rather more, indeed, than any of the Apostles received, and even a larger income than most of the Euglidi hi-,bops get, inr doing very little ; but considering that the Archbishop of Canterbury has $73,000, and the Bishop of London $50,000 a year, Mr. Bcecher may fancy that he has a cause to complain. MANY arc the anecdotes being told of the famous French academician Sainti-Bcuve, recently deceasecf iu Paris. He was sup ping one evening at a restaurant, and close by nim the great friar Lacordaire was seat ed. Perhaps it. was malice, or perhaps he did not see the latter, bat Saiuto lJcave, who was conversing oa the subject of reli gion with a friend, dropped the remark that he could not believe in God because it went beyond his understanding. He had scarce ly spiken this when Lacordaire rose up to his fall height, and, pointing toward heaven, exclaimed: "M. S;iinte-Beuve, you say you do not believe in (Jod because you cannot understand him. But cao you underhand why thi- same fire will melt butter and har den eggs'' And nevertheless you are eatiug your omelette!" Sainte-Beuve, struck at this remark, remained silent for a moment, but then ha rose likewise, pressed the hand of the ardent Dominican, and they remain ed warm friends ever afterward. WHEN Eugenia visited Constantinople she went to hear mass at the Armenian church. This church had been magnificent ly decorated at the expense of the Sultan, and strange to say, the decoration had been I performed under the immediate supervision of the Sultana Valide. Throngs of enthu ' ciastic spectators lined the roads over which | tho Empress passed, and when she reached ' the church she was escorted to a magnifi I cent throne. A French writer observes on this occasion, that this visit will probably lie of the utmost importance to the Turkish people. Seeing an infidel woman treated with so much respect, and even their great Padishah bowing before her, the native wo men threw off their reserve and were the most eager to press forward, a good many even dropped their veils, and it was evident j that the spectacle inspired them wi'h a sen ■ timent of the dignity of their sex. The East ; seems to shake off its torpor and awake to a , new life. ! THE latest intelligence from Cuba con j linns the reports heretofore received of the I intention of the insurgents to destroy all the sugar producing estates they can operate upon. On Thursday week seven cane-fields near Las Craces were burned. Since that time four Chinamen were discovered in the act of firing another cane-field. They were seized and immediately executed. The set tlement of Teguayabeti, which was defend ed by thirty volunteers, has been captured by the insurgent-aud burnt. Gen. Do Ilo das has returned from Cienfuegos, whither he went to examine into the situation. Hardly bad he arrived there before Gi-n. CarLt> begged him to send to bis aid 3,(X)0 volunteers, to bring on, if possible, a genera! engagement with the Cuban commander, Cavada. The Havana Diurio on Saturday had an article declaring that there were but two elements of population iti the island, the Spanish and foreign, and that the ene mies of Spain could not remain there. ST. PETERSBURG is threatened with total inundation. At the last, advices the Neva had already overflowed the banks, and guns were firing to warn the tenants of ground floors to remove themselves and their fam ilies to higher stories, or else to abandon the city. In the lower quarters the inhab itants were rapidly deserting. This is the first flood that has taken place at St. Peters burg for four-and forty years. The last was in 1824. when 402 houses were destroyed, and 3,600 seriously damaged; 20,(Hit) people were then left without shelter, and 600 were drowned. It is impossible to over-estimate tho misery produced by catastrophies of this kind. In 1824 it was as though the whole city had gone into mourning. Festivals i were everywhere suspended, and the money j destined for the usual round of winter j amusements all went to relieve the thou sands of unhappy jieople whom the inunda tion had cither thrown out of work or turn ed out of doors. To make matters worse, the cessation of 1 alls and parties caused a stagnation iu trade and innumerable bank ruptcies, so that to all classes the trial was u long and a cruel one. The municipal ad ministration of the city is, however, better now than it was then. RP 0 W E R HALL!! NEW STYLES FALL & WINTER i CLOTHING.
