ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP JURA. New York, March 7. The steamship Jura, from Liverpool, Friday 18th ult., arrived this morning. The affairs of the Ionian Islands claim- ed attention in the House of Lords on Thursday night. In the Commons Mr. Lever took In* seat for Galway and Mr. Solomons for Greenwich ; the latter taking the oaths according to Jewish custom. Mr.Gilpen gave notice of a resolution prohibiting the manufacture of opium by the government of India. Mr. D'Israeli stated that the prelimmares between the British and Aus- trian governments for the constructionof a telegraph to Alexandria had been agreed upon. The terms involved a guarantee, but not an unconditional one. Leave was granted Mr. Ayrton to bring in a b<ll to sweep away all legal distinctions between newspapers and other publications. FRANCE. £a Presse had received a warning lor an article of the same tenor as those it had been publishing for weeks. The gen- eral supposition was that ihe measure was taken on the representations of the Aus- trian Ambassador. The warning had a good effect on the Bourse. Rentes ad- vanced half per cent, but the rise was not fully sustained. The closing quotations, were 68 for money, and 67. 70 for ac- count. The late disastrous failures at Orleans are said to extend to 12 millions ot francs. M. de Lesseps left Paris on the 15th, for Alexandria, for the express purpose of commencing the Suez canal. SARDINIA. The Faris correspondent of the Times asserts on trustworthy ground that the King of Sardinia is determined on making an attempt to drive out the Austrian*, with the object of constituting for himself a kingdom strong enough to resist Austria on the one hand and France on the other, if need be., and that it will comprise Venice and at least twelve millions of subjects. An absolute certainty is felt at the Court of Turin that France will help Piedmont against Austria, and that Russia will be with her passively il Austria is left to fight alone, but actively and openly if any other power assists Austria. Eng- land and Prussia are expected to be neu- tral. The above is asserted to be the delib- erate plan of the King of Sardinia and his cabinet, and nothing but the withdrawal of France wi'l divert them from it. ADDITION A L--FOREIGN. England proposes to reduce her home and Colonial loices, but to raise the In- dian. This is considered an indication of the Government faith in the maintenance of Peace. There are rumored Ministerial changes, including the retirement of the Lord Chancellor, Sir E. B. Lytton and Gener- al Peel. Paris and Vienna correspondence abounds in warlike rumors, and military movements continue active. Napoleon's intentions are said lo be certainly for war. Victoria, in Vancouver* Island, 1ms been declared a temporary port of entry for British Columbia. The Daily News says that French en voys at Munich, Wurtemburg and Casal have been called to confer with the Em- peror, it is presumed n the state of 0111)110 opinion in Germany. The French Minister of the Interior had addressed a confidential circular ta the prefect's department, conveying the official interpretation to be given to the Emperor's speech at the opening n1 Use session, as it had become the subject oi contradictory commentaries. Tbe Minis- ter says the Emperor's policy is, while de- nouncing war without legitimate motives, as impossible, not to recoil from it if honor commands it, or if ih^re arise one of those causes lor which, in all times, France has been enthusiastic, because war then is a necessity. The movements of troops continue very active at Marseilles. A reported Council ol War was formed consisting of five of the most distinguished gentlemen in the Austrian army. The Vier.na correspondent of the Lon- don Times says that information has been received from France, removing ail doubt ps to the intention of Napoleon, and would pot be surprised to see the Austrian army put suddenly on a war footing. 65,000 men could be fully prepared for action in six weeks. Another Vienna letter says Russia is calling her furloughed soldiers from Taga- jnog to the Moldavian frontier. PUBLIC FEELING AND THE TARIFF. ARRIVAL OF THE EUPvOPA. Saniiy Hook, 1,30 p. m, The Royal Mail steamship Europa from Liverpool of the 19th ult., has passed this point on her way to New Y°rk. The screw steamship iEtna arrived out on the 18th. The latest Continental rumors are more warlike. Military preparations continue. It is represented that a camp of 100,- 000 men will soon form at 'Toulon. The House of Commons had passed a resolution in favor of a loan of £7,000,- 000 sterling. The Infant Prussian Prince,--A letter from Berlin says that the infant Prince is,most febost and well-made. A letter in the Nord, from Berlin, dated tho 28th, says :--Early this morning Prince Frederick William assembled the servants of his household, and showed them his infant son, whom he held in his arms. I have seen workmen and poor women hurry- ing from the most distant quarters of the city, and, even peasants from the neighboring vil- Iftges,to learn how the Princess is progressing In fact, the Berlinese,so cold by nature, are giving way to the most ardent enthusiasm. A Committee, it is said, will be formed to secure for all poor children born yesterday in Prussia, ^he sum of 250 thalers on reaching their 24th year. There will be another grand illuminin- ption and serenade, with torches, when the church ing of the august Princess takes place. From the Globe. If the eurrent of public feeling in Western Canada may be judged by the feeling in Toronto, Mr. Galt's tariff is destined to encounter a pretty hot oppo- sition. Amongst all classes, the tone in which it is referred to is one of condemna- tion. Never was there a measure which succeeded more completely in disgusting everybody. The want of any intelligible principle in the classification of duties challenges the attention of the most cursory observer. A closer scrutiny detects nothing to sup- ply its place. The whole thing has been framed with no other object than the main- tenance of a corrupt and extravagant sys- tem, and with no other rule than the ca- price of the Inspector General. The protectionist disapproves of the tariff, because, whilst extorting heavy taxes, it withholds encouragement from every industrial interest. The free trader, whilst applauding ad valorem duties, sees in Mr. Galt's mode of applying them only a blow levelled at industry, already stagnant, and commerce, already all but ruined. The consumer, caring little for theories, regards the increase of taxation as enough to frighten away those who can get, and to deter emigrants from touching our shores. He looks upon the augmented load as sufficient to break the back of the patient public ; and views the future with mistrust accordingly. Let good cause be shown, and the peo- ple of Canada, depressed though they be, would strain every nerve to meet the wants of the public expenditure. But this frightful increase of Mr. Galt's tariff takes place without a shadow of necessity, be- cause unaccompanied with the slightest effort to reduce an expenditure that is no- toriously extravagant. Reduce the ex- penses of the departments, cut down the outlay of Parliament, stop needier pay- ments, lessen the staff ot employes', and then, if necessary, let us hear oi more tax- ation. But the Cartier-Macdonald Min- istry have not moved an inch iu this di- rection. Keeping all outlays at the old point, upholding every waste as it comes under notice, they go further and throw away nearly two millions of dollars m Seat of Government expenses, without settling the question itself. To carry oat this wanton expenditure, Mr. Galt con- cocts his tariff; which is regarded here as the effect of the system with which lv: has chosen to identify his party fortunes. The tariff has finished Mr. Galt's repu- ai'o.i. Once upon a time, and that not long ago, business people were wont to express confidence in h's sagacity. Their estimate is now widely different. His wo- ful break-down as a financial missionary to England opened men's eyes rather wide; and now this tariff finishes the work. Mr. Galt, they now see, is not a statesman, but a chnnsey sort of conjuror; not a genius grappling with urgent diffi- culties, but an unskilled mechanician, fol- lowing the Cayley track, and exacting the last farthing, without caring whence it comes or how it goes. Almost all the vices of women belong lo tiie men. while their good qualities are theirs, and tiie ii s alone. The wTise man's silence says more than the much speaking of the fool. When the heart is out of tune, the ton- gue seldom gives good music. Buy no triend with presents, for pre- sents will buy him fiom you. Great minds have wills; small minds have only wishes. The ivy will not cling to a poisonous tree. What a pity that the tendrils of the human heart are not sometimes endow- ed with this instinct ! Never ridicule old age. It is pouring cold water into the bed in the morning where you must sleep at night. Man is related to the beasts by his body, and if he be not related to God by his spirit, then he is an ignoble creature. TORONTO MARKETS.

How frequently do we see feebie parents dressed in mourning on account of the death of their be- loved children. What a pity it is, when, by proper care and remedies, all these trials and troubles can be avoided. When health can be restored to the parent and life and happiness to the child, Restore the health of the mother and you obviate the necessity of Parcgoric, Godfrey's Cordial and other injurious narcotics for crying children. We entreat you, as we desire to improve the condition of our race, to procure Dr. Morse's Almanac and read how diseases are cured in accordance with Nature's laws with innocent Roots and Plants. PREGNANCY. During this critical period Morse's Indian Root Pills will be required, because they cleanse the body from those morbid humors, and tho- roughly drive away nil pains, and give ease and comfort to the mother. From one to three of these Pills, take» two or three times a week during pregnancy, will cause the mother a saef and easy delivery, ard will be sure to give a stout and healthy constitution to the child, Dr, Morse's Indian Root Pills are sold by all dealers in Medicines. THE Injudicious use of Mercury often oc- casions affections of the throat, of tho bones of the nose, and malignant sores. Dr. Moffat's Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters are signally suc- cessful in eradicating all the effects of mercury ■rom the system. They aid nature in casting from the body al! poisonous matters, and by thus purifying the vital fluids, they restore the constitution to sound health. For sale by W. J>.

Taking into consideration the hard times, and being determined to advance the pros- perity of the community in which we live; and believing as we certainly do, that a Village is judged by parties at a distance by tho Ad- vertisements that appear in the columns ef its Newspaper, and being very desirous of offer- ing every inducement in our power to Mer chants and others to Advertise, we have de- termined to Reduce our Advertising rates to as low a Fgure as vve can possibly afford.-- Our great object is, to encourage liberal adver- tising, as this branch of Business is the main stay to all Printing Establishments. Our readers will at once perceive that it is utterly impossible to advertise at lower rates than we give below. If we did, we should not be able to carry on the paper ; for no one (not even printers) can be expected to work for nothing. However, we hope that all those who desire o encourage a Village Newspaper will advertise liberally, and then while we shall be benefited, they themselves will be even more so by an increase of business,--the invariable result of advertising. The following aro our reduced rates :-- £ column, i a year, 95 per cent discount. i " j •• SO i •• 1 " 35 1 *• i " 30 A " I " 35 •• I " 1 40 •• 1 •• i 35 1 " A 40 1 " 1 45 All advertisements to be measured by a scale of 200 solid Brevier lines to a column.-- Four pence a line will be charged for the first insertion, and one penny a line for each sub- sequent insertion.
