Canadian Trouble.
It is entirely impossible to tell, as yet, tewhat
tciminatiuii the difficulties in the-Canadian prov
inces will he brought. There appearto be two
parties, the old French and the English citizens
arr ived ogiinst each other, without any other
object thin that of harming the respective adhe
rents. It is net so much a rebellion against Gov
ernment as a civil war.
Whether the breach which has been thus made,
can ever be entirely healed is extremely doubtful.
We are neither a Prophet nor the Son of a
Fnp'.iet, and cannot, therefore, givo any sensible
or reasonable prognostication on the matter.
What step the English Ministry will take can
net he imagined, and the final result we think
verv much depends upon that. In a few weeks
we can probably tell )u something more definite.
SLEEr.
"For Sleep is awful." Eyow
Man snd all animals, are, by nature, so consti
tuted as to need a certain amount nf that kind of
rest, if it can be so termed, called sleep. The
svj'em U nveicoine as it were by exertion and ex
ercise, and nothing hut sleep will' rerusitale it.
The curtain of night is gently drawn round us
Rid unconscious of all that may be passing, we
gradually, and without knowing the precise time,
fail into a deep sleep.
There are various hypotheses upon this suhject.
Terhain the most reasonable one is, that the dif
ferent portions of the body become insensible at
different limes. Th" sense of hearing appears to
he toe, lut on the alert, and when the eyes are
el''-i evfry thins; is c imposed to rest, the
slighted nniio will disturb the slumbcrer.
After all ilia troubls and trials and vexations
r f the d.iv ; an hour spent in thought by the cheer
ful fireside, prepares a man for that rest his body
rei'iires; and the mornini; linda hini fresh for
toil, che..i fulneH in bis air and alacrity in h is giit.
True, often the houseless wretch wandeis with
out a shelter, unable to find that refreshment
which Ood has vouchsafed even to the brutes that
pui-h, but unavoidable instances are raie. In the
embrace of sleep we torget pain and pleasure,
irrow and j' y, discord and harmony. And
I'.thougb many complain of wearineand lassi
tude, of troubles and trials, of difficulties and di i-appciii'ni-nts
; yet all can partake of
"iu 1 natures sweet remoter, balmy sleep. "

The lUfftrrnte, is still more striking thin
the parallel. Jackson was a man of mind, of tal

correct and original thinker. He was elected to
(be Presidency by thu Pai'y who had supported
the war and sustained its men and measures.

Horrible Occurrence.
One of the most heartrending events that ever
'came to our knowledge occurred near Bighone
i Spring, in Boone county Ohio, about midnight
on Saturday week. Mr. Richard Johnston and
wife were aroused tit that lime by the noise of
a lire raging in their dwelling. They started
up and seeing, as they supposed, that it was in a
remote room, they hastened thither to 6ve some
ol the furniture, leaving- their two children, a
little girl and infant son asleep. They returned
in a few minutes and found to their honor that
the room in which the children were lying was
all on fire. Mr. Johnston burst uptn the door
and was thrown backwjtd by the txpanisnn of
the rarefied air. His wife ruslmd forward and
fell over him into the flames. He dragged her
out much burnt. Hut the children were inac-
' cussable; and the parents then appealed in their
agony to have lost all their self-possession.
When the first neighbor, a klative, arrived, he
'found her standing stupefied holding on to the
! garden fence, which was on fire her night-
; gown all burnt off except the neck, which was j The Commercial Jlilvertiwr contains an ac

Tho result uf the late election in the Old Do
minion is yet more favorable to the cause of De
mocracy, than we announced in our last paper,
It appears that of the fifteen Congressmen to
which the State is entitled, the Democrats have
electod FOURTEEN, as follows :
I. JohnS. Million, VIII. A. R. Hollidar,
II. llich.K. Meade, IX. Richard Parker,
HI. Thos. II. Averelt XI. James McDowell,
IV. Thos. 8. Bocock, XII. II. Edmunson,

VI. Ja. A. Seddon, XIV. J. M. II. Beale,
VII. Thos. H. Bailey, XV. Alei. Newman.
The successful canditate in district X, is Jeie-
miah Morton, an anti-Proviso Whig.
This is, indeed, at the Pennsylvanian remarks
"A great triumph." The hollow promises of
Gen. Taylor however honestly made at first
are now only alluded lo with pity j while the bold
bad men who are leading him to trample these
promises under foot, are universally regarded
with indignation. Virginia saw her duty in this
crisis, and has discharged it with noble and hero
ic perseverence. She appreciated the danger of
the country placed unreservedly in the hands of
an administration thus headed and controlled.
She knew that if General Taylor's cabinet cared
so little for him as to induce him to dishonor his
own plighted faith, they would care less when
they came to apply their abandoned pulicy to the
country at large. The worst schemes ofFeJeral
ism the rejected elements of an fffite banking
system ttys odious combination that plunders by
a gineral improvement law the system of (ariff
huiinlies the gradual accumulation ol debt by the
increase of taxation - these are a few of thu mea
sures which the cheering example of Virginia
ma avert, by extending an encouragement to all
the states that have yet to vote. We thank her,
therefore, ardently and sincerely, for her glorious
victory over the cohert of a parly that has just re
turned from a field won through the divisions uf
an antagonist now united by a sense of common
danger.
Should the Democracy in other Ststes which
have yet to elect members of the next Congress,
do as well as their brethern in Virginia, the
Democrats will have a decided majority not
only in the Senate, but also in the House.
And what then ? Why we will find General Tay
lor and his Whig advisers giving the lie, by their
acts, to all that they have said against the veto, as
they have already done to their professions on
several other subjects.

general good of his species, and is therefore the
common enemy ol mankind. His money may

purchase love; and Power is not strong enough

Editor's Correspondence.
Mill Hall, May 1S49.
Dear Col. If I forget not my last was from
Jersey Shore. To my notion it is a very pleasant
little place. Much taste is displayed by the citi
zens in the erection of dwelling houses, and the
laying out of the surrounding ground plots, It is
a beautiful and healthy locution.
From Jersey Shore to Lock Haven there are
numbe'less little hamlets scattered along the river,
giving an air of cheerfulness and business to the
whole route. The country is not quite so beauti
ful, the valley being generally narrower, than it
is below.
Lock Haven, the County Seat nf Clinton county,
is also a very pleasant place. Pine Creek about
a mile abuve Jersey Shore, is, I believe, the line
between that and Lycoming county. A rich and
highly cultivated Valley lays back of Lock Haven,
which is built immediately upon the river. The
canal crosses the Susquehanna at this place.
Mill Hall lays from three to five miles from this
town. There are two or three Villages between
tho two. Mill Hall is apparently a place of con
siderable business. A stream of water, over half
as large as our own Fishing-creek, called Fishing
creek runs through il ; upon which are erected a
Woollen Factory, a Grisi-Mill and a Furnace
By Ihe way talking of Furnaces, I am informed
that the present Proprietors of the Establishment
are making money at the businos. Now if they
can make money away up here, with their disad
vantages for Market, and where they must haul
their Limestone, Coal, and the greater part of
their Ore, from eight to twelve miles, what is
there to hinder the Montour Co., fiom gelling
rich .' It puts me out of patience to hear such
men croaking ''ruin !" "ruin !" The mote facili.
ties and protection they have, the more they w ant.
The Woollen Factory turns oil from Eighty to
One Hundred and twenty yards uf Cloth, Cassi
mere and Satinetis per week. Most of the Ma
chinery was to me new. The Roller particularly.
Instead of making Ihe rolls short, as usual, it was
so contrived as to make them any number of yards
long without breaking. Tweuty-fonr rolls came
from the mat hinc, if I do not forget, unbroken,
until the windlss was full. It was then carriud
up stairs and spun immediately into yarn upon a
spinning machine called a Mew, driving two hun.
dred and forty spindles.
The country is rough but fast improving, and
thus I leave it for the present. O. P. 14.

In the house of commons on the 19th ultimo,
the navigation law bill being under considera
tion, Mr, Gladstone moved a clause empowering
the Crown, on application of any colony, to
sanction a conveyance of goods and passengers
Iroin one pait of such colony to another in other
than British vessels. The proposition was adop
ted, and the bill was ordered to a third lea
ding. On Monday, 23d April, in the House of Lords,
in reply to a question, Lord Lansdowne said that
the British Government, though aware of the in.
tended French intervention in Home for the res.
.oration of the Pope, had taken no part in sug.
gestingor promoting it, though he acknowkd
ged that that they did not disapprove it.
It is stated that a commercial treaty is about to
be formed between England and France, the lea
ding features cf which will be the free admission
of brandy, w ine, and fruit from France, and coal,
iron, and nvi-t from England, Whatever advan
tages may be conferred upon French vessels by
the alteration of the navagation laws are to be
liberally reciprocated by the Government of tho
Republic.

France.
In the French National Assembly, on Monday,
the President of the Council of Minis ten made a
communication relative to the intervention of
France in Italy. He stated, in substance, that
the cuntre-cotip of the victories gained by the
Austrian over the Piedniontete would be felt
throughout the whole of Central Italy; that a
crisis appearsd to be iminent in the Roman State,
and that Franre would not remain indiflerent to
such a state of things. He added, the protec
tion of natives of France resident in Italy, the
necessity of maintaining the legitimate influence
which France long possessed in Italy, anil the
desire which the French Government felt to con
tribute towards obtaining for the Roman people
a good government, based upon liberal institu
tions, rendered it a duly In the Cabinet to make
use of the liberty which the Assembly had gran
ted to it, by its act of the 20th March, to occupy
temporarily that territory of the Peninsula. The
Minister added that it was impossible, for him
to enter further into details.
iUnnany
Germany is still in a state of great confusion.
The Prussian Government is said to have obtai
ned the as.ent ol a few oi the small States, such
as Hesse Cassel, Brunswick, and Weimer, to the
assumption of the imperial dignity by the King j
but these form a small part of the States of Ger
many. Austria is of course violently opposed ta
a plan which would transfer the imperial dignity
from the House ol'Hapsburg to that of Branden
burg ; and Bavaria, the third State in Germany
for population and influence, is scarcely less so.
Both France & Russia are strongly opposed to the
change. All these difficulties might perhaps be
got over if the smaller states of Germany were
unanimous in favor uf the union with Fmssia;
but this is hot the fact. Hanover, whose assent
is essential to the carrying out of the scheme, is
not likely to give it, and Saxony has too strong a
sense of what it has to do in the way of reconsti
tuting the German Empire on the basis proposed
at Frankfurt.
China.
The news from Hong Kong is to the 27th of
February. The dispute about opening the city
gates at Canton was going on, but there was a
