Money at London was sonjewhnt easier
owing to the large arrivals df gold.
The very latest advices state that no ac

Parliament has been further prorogued
until the 20th of November, the aspect of
the eastern question not being deemed by
the Bri'ish Cabinet of sufficient import
unce to warrant its earlier consideration.
It is rumored that the Emperor and
F.mpreMs of Franco will visit London in
November.
France,
The unfavorable accounts of the vintage
crop are fully confirmed.
Trade at Paris is beginning to revive,
and thu prospect of übeuvy increusod busi
ness is very flattering.
The puliticul news from Franco is with
out much interest.
Turkey and Russia.
Very liltlo intelligence, of a definite or
reliable character, lias been received from
those countries siuce the sailing of the last
6ieamer.
A rumor was telegraphed from Con
stantinople, under date.of the 17th, that

marching in great force to Kulol'ut, oppo

A Idler from St. Petersburg, dated Oc
tober 14, sliys that the hews of the declar
ation of war by the Porto produced a mostj
painful sensation. !n the North, the Rus
sian urmy and civil servico were for war,
but in the South they were more pacific, 1
and nothing like warlike enthusiasm tvns
apparent’anywhere, nllho’ various means
had been taken to produce it.
It was rumored ut Paris that the text of
a new'Russian manifesto had reached the
French Government, which contained
something very insulting to Frnncc; char
acterizing her ns the hot bed of revolution.
One of the expressions is Said to 1 read ‘os
follows —“I am in my right,'and will de
fend it,' ; hs ; well ns the rights of my core
ligionists, against all foreign interference,
and I shall not stand alone.”
Notwithstanding nil unfavorable symp

still believe tliut the resources of diploma

Deep and Eahnest Thought. —lt is a j
rare attainment to get tho power of close I
nod consecutive thinking. No man con[
do it but with great pains. It is one of I
the great ends of education and mentul
discipline, to confer this power. The ro
mances and other trash of tho teeming!
pressus of oifr duy.aro hostile to this habit, j
Tho excitement of fiction is pleasurable, j
Deep thought requires painstaking and i
self denial. Thousands had rather sailj
over tho sunny seas of romance, and un
der its bright skies, even though they reach
the port penniless, than to encounter ad
verse winds and boisterous seas, though a
rich cargo should be the recompense. But
deep and earnest thought tho power
and practice of it is of vust advantage
many ways. It secures stJro and great
advances in knowledge. It strengthens
end invigorates all tho mental powers. It
enables tho mind to take large and compre
hensive views of things, so that it can de
liberately gather all tho facts and princi
ples pertaining to any particular subject,
nnd view them in thuir various relations.
It gives amazing power to all moral snb
jectB. “I thought in my ways, I took
heed unto thy testimonies.” Deep and
earnest thought is the parent of deep reli
gious emotion. Tho unthibkiog can never
feel deeply; Dee|> thinking exerts great
power ovor conscience. It sharpens its
discernment —makes it a better judge and

Appalling Disaster on the Coast of Scotland.
Wreck of Ihe British Ship Annie Jane ,
Our English files by tho Niagara con
firms the brief statement heretofore made,
of the total loss of the ship Annie Jane,'
Mason commander, belonging to Liverpool
Which wasdfiyen OBhore on the iron bound;
coast of Barrft Island, dnring tho recent
gales, on tho night of the 28th uli, when’
no fewer than three hundred and forty
eight passengers —men women and chil
dren — m ot with a watery grave. The
Annie Jane was a largo vessel, and sailed
from Liverpool for Quebec and Montreal,
on the Gib of last month, with some 450
emigrants, most of them Irish families.—
The crew twelve persons, with Mr Bell,
the chief officer, and 120 passengers wero
saved. 'Vo annex, a fow particulars of
tho dreadful disaster.
At, the time tho ship struck, all thq offi
cers and crew were below, there were also
on deck a largo nbmber of male passen
gers, who held on by ropes und rigging,
and with feelings of despair contemplated
their fate. Meunwhile, the great majori
of tho passengers, including all the women
and children, wero below in their berths
but the striking of tho ship gave them n
fearful Wakening. Many rushed on deck
in a state of nukedness: wives clung to
their husbands, and children clung to both;
somo mute from terror, und others uttering
appalling screams and cogerly shrieking
‘‘ls their hope?” Tho scene is described
by tho survivors as tho most agonizing
which it could enter into tho heart of man
to conceive. After tho first shock was
over, tho passengers rushed to the boats,
tltreo of which wero pliiced between tho
mizenintlst and tho poop, and tho fourth
lay pn the top of tho cooktng-house-for
ward. The light bout bad already been
lost. But tho boats were of no earthly use,
for they were all fixed down or secured,
or lay bottom up. While tho passengers
wero clusteringuround tho boats, and with
-1 in a few minutes after tho ship had ground
!ed, she was struck by a sea of frightful po
! tt-ncy, which instantly carried away the
j dense muss of human beings into the wn
'tery waste, and- boats and bulwarks along
j with them. At least 100 of our fellow
i creatures perished by this fell swoop. —
jThc wild wail of tho sufferers was heard
! lor a moment, and then all was still.
85.265,876 87
Tho mujority of tho women and chil
dren, as well us some of tho male passen
gers remained below, either parylised by
terror or ufruid they would bo washed
away in tho event of their coming on deck
But their time had also come. The fright
ful thumping of the great ship, luken in
connection with a cargo of railway iron,
must have immediately huve beaten tho
bottom out of her, and while her fabric
was in this weakened state another dread
ful sea broko in and literally crushed that
part of the deck situatod between the main
mast and the mizentnast, down upon the
berths below which were occupied by ter
l ror stricken women and sleeping children.
[They wero killed rather than drowned as
| was fully evidenced by tho naked, niuli
| lated and gashed bodies which were after
wards cast on shore. The main and miz.
cn mast went at the same litno. This sec
ond branch of the catastrophe took place
I within a very fow minutes after the pas
songers look refuge.on tho poop, which
I was a very high one, and each assault of
| tho sea carried away its victim or victims.
I In short, within one hour after the Annie
Jane struck, the remaining stumps of her
I masts went by tho board, and she broko
{into three pieces. An additional number
| perished at this disruption, and nil tho sur
[ vtvors remuined on tho poop, with the ex
ceptions of seven men, who had secured
themselves on tho topgallant foroccstle.—
The poop fortunately floated well, and as
it wus about high water, the wreck, was
drifted inwards by the wind, and- each
heaveof the sea, when it was finally groun
ded about 4 o’clock A. M. The forecus
! tlo, with the seven men, came ashore much
about the samo time.

Such ns were snved remained by nntil
the tido ebbed, when they waded ashore,
the water inking them nearly to tho arm
pits. At dnyljght the bay was strewn with
dead bodies to the number of nearly three
hundred, greatly disfigured, many of ihem
without limbs and Leads, and nearly all
naked, thereby showing ho‘w instant must
have been their deaths, and the fearful
strength of tho waters which in so shoft
a lime hud made such havoc.
One child only was saved. It belong
ed to an humble Irish woman who, with her
two children was about tp join her hus
band in America! , She struggled hard to
preservo them both, one on her back and
' grasping the other tn her arms; but when
the ship parted, the latter was dashed in
to tjio sea, arid tho other remained.
None of the survivors estimate the loss
oflifoatless than 350,. and consider it
close upon four hundred souls. The latter
would be the case if SOU individuals, in
cluding children, wore on board, as it is
generally believed. Almost all the cabin
passengers perished, including captain
Munro of Quebec. ,

Constitutionality of the Maine liquor law.
The question of iho Constitutionality of j
tho Maine*Liquor Law appears to bo some
what of a mooted question just now. We
find the following in our exchanges os tho
opinion of several of out ( Justices o ; f fho
United.Slatcs Supreme Court. Theyimoy.
uid our readers in'settling tnis question in
their own rtiinda : , ; \ ' ■>
Chief Justice Taney said s ‘*lf any State
deems'tho retail and internal traffic in ar
dent spirits injurious to its citizens, and
calculated to produco idleness, vice and
debauchery, I see nothing in the Constitu
tion of the United States to prevent it from
regulating and restraining tho traffic, or
from prohibiting it altogether, if it thinks
proper. . . •
“Every State, therefore, may regulate
its own internal trpffic according to its
judgment/and upon' its own views of the
intorest and well-beipg of its citizens.. .(6
How., 573.) ; ,
Rlr. Justice McLean said : “Ifthe,for
eign article be injurious to the health or
morals of the community, a Slate ipay.
in tho exercise of that great and 'compre
hensive police power which lies at the foun- 1
dation of its prosperity, prohibit the sale
of it” (5 How., 592.)
And in regard to the destruction of prop- j
erty, ho said : “The acknowledged police j
power of a State extends often to the de-'
slruction of properly. A nuisance may |
be abated. Everything prejudiced to the |
health or morals ofa city may be removed, j
Merchandise from a port where a conta
geous disease, may bo excluded and in
extreme caser it may be thrown into the
sea- . ...
Mr. Justice Catron said : I admit, B 9 in
evitable, that if the State has tho power of
restraint by licenses to any extent, it has
tlio discretionary power to judgeot its lim
it, ond may go tho length of. prohibiting
it altogether, if such be its policy.”
From Washington.
