THE RALEI- A- few Weeks ago the all-absorbingr nch was of actual wai‘â€"â€"-war on the larg- est scale, and with the most sanguinary results. Two of the great monarchies of Europe were struggling for the mastery. This scene suddenly gave place to a paciâ€" fic meeting‘ between the belligerent chiefs. The two Emperors shook hands, a treaty ofpca'cc was hurriedly made. conflicting were adjusted, territories were transferred from hand to hand, and the terms Ofa future alliance settled. The war of yes- terday was ended by breakfast-tirne on the niorrow. ‘ A few weeks ago the Emperor l‘apo- lcon was welcomed to Italy as thesaviour i visit London and draw closer the bands of of the oppressed,‘and the ilongâ€"lookedâ€"for founder of a new and independent mori~ arclry.

A fevv wet-ks ago the apprehension prevailed in high quarters in Iilirglanduhat the French ’Ernpcror' contemplated war with us, and that this would b} found to be the ultimate end and object of his vast armaments. Now we learn that this po. lei-tale has proposed to England a simul~ [annous reduction, on the one side and the other, of these costly preparations, and that, to prove his sincerity, he intends to that there is no word that carries us that the Emperor Louis Napoleon has deteiiirnied to reduce both hid army and navy to a peace facing, and to Set an ex- ample of pacific intentions to all Europe. \Vhat is to be done finally and; perman- ently Italy, is at preSent unknown.

It ap- pears to be doubtful whether the Congress will be held, and doubtful whether the proposed confederation can even more be accomplished. There is, however, every reason to li0pe that the opinions expressed by our leadingr statesmen on the Italian question will influence both France and Austria in the right direction, and at the same tim ‘ afford to the Italian people some proof that lfilngland has still a heart to feel for and help the oppressed.

There are some words that we are obliged to use, because al- though not elegant they are very expressive, and ease one’s mind more effectively than more fashionâ€" able or polite plirazcs. \Ve feel such weight. in it as does the word one remove from the brute is the.' person for Canada. Rents are a\v-.. fully high in the villages. As to, the roads, I would as soon walk 20 miles in England as 5 in Canada. I visited a member of parliament the other day, and I was struck to find a man holding such a respon- sible ollicc, and of such a standing- in society, in such a dwelling. His kitchen furniture was of the most meagre description, and he looked himself like. a lump of pipeelay. The weather is most changeable, one dav it would nearly roast you, and the other it would freeze you. Land round here is sold for £120 per acre, and everything is dearer than in England, but; beef and mut- ton, and it is dear taking into ac-. count; the quality, for a good beast, or sheep cannot be found for 1,000 miles. All kinds of drink are most wretched stuff.’ ” We should not have taken any notice of this foolish epistlc, had it not appeared in a paper having such a large circulation as has the Hull TORONTO FAIR. our readers to the fact that on \Ved- nesday and Thursday next, the 24th and 25th inst, will be held in Toronto the first of a series of Free Markets or Fairs, at the Exhibition Park and building. this fair is to promote the exhibi- tion and sale’of stock, grain, agri- cultural produce, implements, and i'nanufacturcs of all kinds, &c. We feel that we need not say one word in favor of such fairs; they commend themselves to the notice of every one ; nothing can possibly be more. useful or advantageous to the farn‘ier, the miller, the mecha- nic or n’ianufactiircr, they tend to promote a ll’tiltllful rivalry and competition, which as every one knows, is the soul of business. Nor is this the only or greatest benefit to be derived from them, for they bring together the experi- once and results of the ingenuity, and skill of those, who butfor these News. But amicaring,r in tliatjour- nal, we think it but justice to this the country of our adOption, to re- fute the gross calumnies therein contained. The writer sayshclias found “nothing plentiful but wood and water.” All we have to say to this is. that he never used his eyes. He also says he has “ visited num- bers of English families, but have found none doing as well as repre- Scnted.” Of coure we cannotjudge of the truth of this, as we do not know what wasrepresented to him. Perhaps he expected to find said families driving.)r a coach and six, or with money enough to let him stick on them for the rest of his days.â€" This much, however, we do know, and that is, that Within a circle of ten miles from Aurora we tan point out scores who came to this coun- . try pennilcss, who now own litre cleared farms of from 100 to 200 acres, and so far from being only one degree removed from the brute-- that might be true ol them at li()t’nCâ€"--â€". but we venture to. say that now many of them have more sense in their little fingers than he basin his thick-skinned cranium. We came from the “ old sod” ourselves, and we unhesitatingly affirm that We can find more ignorance, brutish- ness and \vi‘ctehcdness, in Hull alone thanwe can find in all Ca~ nada, despite the hard times. He says' gain, that “he would ra- ther walk 20 miles in England than 5 in. Canada.” Our back roads are bad we admit, but Yongc street and many others are very nearly equal to the turnpikes of fatlici‘land. He says that “he visited an M.l’.1’., and was astonished to find his borne furnished so barely, and the man a piece of pipeclay.” We do not be- lieve it; we are sure that. the M.P.P., who resides in Aurora, is a gentleman every inch of liirri, looks and all. It. is a gross libel on our worthy members. True they are not. Britile aristocrats, and we do not wish they should be; for if there. is one thing more than another ‘ that we detest, it is the bowingr and scraping homage that. is paid to the purse-proud or landâ€"proud noodles of Great Britain. \Ve are men here, not asses, to be driven at the nod or heck of some great idler and know-nothing who happened to be born with asilvcr spoon in his mouth, or inherited a title and a fortune from his grandfather’s great grandfather. Though even here we have fools, who ape and put on would-be aristocratic airs, and strut about like my Lord and Lady Nin- fairs would remain unknown, and the means by which they succeeded would be lost to society; as we hold it to be impossible for the farmer to see better wheat 820. than his own, without at least resolving to know the why and the whereâ€" fore of the superiority. may be said of the mechanic. and manufacti'ircr. Therefore to one and all we say, go to the fair, and if you have got anything worth showing, why exhibit it, so that your neighbors, may learn some- thing of them. Above all, keep your eyes well skinned, so that you may :atc i an idea,"and come away the wiser for your journey. " ’04 THE CROPS. The Board of Trade of Hamilton have recently made enquiries rela- ti vc to the crops of this year. They have received replies from nearly sixty townships, and it is gratify- ing to learn that although the frost and weevil have done some. damâ€" age, yet on the whole the prospects of an abundant yield of every crop but, hay is nearly certain. Take it all in all, farmers never had a brighter prospect before them, for With wheat at a dollar a bushel, and other things in proportion, he will have no occasion whatever to com- plain, but on the contrary, he will have much to be. thankful for. >04 8 TAB BIN G CASE. We regret to learn that a serious attackwas made on ‘Monday last, the 15th inst, at Ccntcrvillcpin the County of Lincoln, upon the life of Deputy Sheriff Iicrby. It appears that. Mr. .l‘ierby and his bailiff, Mr. McCregor, went to Mr. Bradley's house to disti‘ain for sum oftwenty pounds, at the suit of one 19.. ll. Dec. Mr. Bradley disavowed of knowing any such person, or owing hirrr anything. A conversation enâ€" sued, and it wasexplained to Brad- ley that the writ must be executed unless the money was paid. Brad- ley declared that the horses should not be seized. Mr. McGregor went and fetched a rope, and proceeded to fasten them to the gear of the horses, on which Bradley struck Korhy a blow on the breast, and Mr. McGregor then laid hold of him, but was knocked down by his son. Kerby, on going to ll’chregor’s asâ€" sistance felt a pain, and seeing the We begr to call the attention Of The object of The same i you as well you of huynbuo; There are dent of Such . , blood llt’ C’c‘tllCtl out that 110 ll'dd «‘3 . . ‘l‘ . y . compoop, being,r celebrated for no- ‘ 1 m. 7,... by .1 B” H 'v CharuCIcYS “1 “HS \Vlde “7ij thin“.

But again, “land here is sold for £l20 per acre.” This is a down- right, falsehood, for a farm round Aurora, or indeed anywhere else, will not command more than £25, or at the very l‘iigliest, per acre; and remember that Aurora is within 24 miles of the chief city in Upper Canada; and as to. going 1,000 miles for good meat, he is either a fool or a rogue, or both, that states it. W’e have bought excellent meat from the Aurora butcher (Mr. llolliday) many a score of timesâ€"- meat as good as this Mr. Swales ever eat in his life; and in this. vil- lage (Richmond Hill) situated within 16 miles of the capital of Upper Canada, he may get both in eating and drinking, more and bet- ter than he even had in England; for to judge by his writing this truthful Mr. Swalcs must have shape, and under very imaginable disguise. We think that all will admit that the contemptible two- lcgged biped, who wrote the fol- lowing, is an unrrritigated one. If he still resides in the enterprising village of Aurora, we hope the in- habitants will drum him out of the village. The letter appeared in the Hull W‘eios, 'lr’orksliire, England, of July the 9111 till, We would wish all those who came out from York- shire, or have friends there, to con- tradict this obnoxious letter ;~â€".-, midnight several constables wont to take Bradley, but found about forty Orangemcn armed said that Brad- ley should not be taken.

From the Rochester Union, 10th. \\"e are happy to announce to the citizens of Rochester, that the arrangements are _ so far completed for M. Delave, that he will cross the Genesee River and Falls in this city on a tight rope next Tuesday, the 17th instant. A committee of citizens took a lively interest in the matter yesterday, and pro- curred subscriptions sufficient to warrant the outlay for a rope. It was found thati the wires of the rate suspension bridge, which were talked of as suitable for the feat, Were damaged, and the expense of putting them in order and in suspending, would be almost, or quite as great, as that ofa new rope; and besides, the latter could he more easily obtained. Last evening the main rope and the smaller ones for the guys were taken to Falls Field, and this morning the work of putting them in place coiiii’ncnced. The main rope is about. nine hundred feet long, and only one inch and three-quarters in diameter I It is, therefore, nearly as long as the one used by Blondin, while it is. much smaller in diameter. bl. Delave~ Would haVe preferred a rope still smaller in diameter, if one could be had of stifli- cieiit strength to make it safe. lle has confidence in his ability to walk anywhere upon a horirgontal line that will support his weight, and we may add, that those who know him best, have. as rnucb confidence in him as he has in himself. The site SclBClCtl for this daring feat is the best we think our river affords any. where in the vicinity of the upper Falls. The West. end of the main rope will be, carried over the saw mill cast of the cot- ton factory, while the other will be made fast in Falls Field opposite the point 'where the great chasm of the river is the” widest. Thus about two hundred feet of the rope will be directly over the water“ fall amid the spray, while the remainder will pass over the gorge one hundred and forty feet deep. This is a more hazardous place to sits-y pend a ropeâ€"~if the contingency of acct~ dent is to be thought of~tlian that where Blondin walks. If Delavc fall at the west end, he strikes into tllC sheetor the boiling: surge belowâ€"ifelsewhere the result is one that we do not care to think of. Ile has desired to have the rope suspended in the place where the most hazard is incurred, to show that he has confidence in his skill upon the rope. ‘ M. liosserii.â€"â€"'l‘lie following corn- munication appears in the .Nm'ilr British Bluff :â€"-“ Sir, I have this morning (July 21) received very late and trustworthy inâ€" telligence frotn bl Kossuth. Particulars I am not at lil‘crty to corriinnnicate. how-i ever, for the satisfaction of his numerous friends. I may alio state that, after his betrayal, he remained only long enough to_ save as many of his revolted countrymen from harm as he could, and to Prevent any further present hopeless insurrection. Ile then retired into Swrtzerland, where he. was joined by biladame liossuth three, days ago; and it is uncertain whether he may not be obliged to remain for some Weeks before he returns to England. From a knowledge of the circumstances and his character, we may expect soon anv explanation of the real cause which led toil the defeat of his misplaced faith in Dona-i parte.â€"â€"Your~;, or. . .lOllN M’ADAM.” A terrible accident lately occurred at, Bourdeaux, by the bursting of the centraf reservoir. In a few seconds the torrent of waters rushed with fury into two of the streets, carrying with it the ruins of houses, furniture, beds, men, women and childrch The tocsin was soon sounded, and the, authorities hastened to render their assis- tance. Three or four dead bodies were found, and about a dozen people were more pr less injured. Accounts from St. Pctersburgh state, that a violent fire broke out in that city near the terminus of the Moscow Rail- way, by whieh 300 houses Were consumed. As the flames burst out in several places ationce, the fire is ascribed to ll’lCODtllâ€"i ‘aries, especially as several other fires took place on the following day but which were got under without causing any material damage. ‘ â€"-â€"â€"â€" Tlie French soldiers are in future to be taught to swim, the Minister of iVVar having taker. warning b tality caused by drowning on the occasion of the passage of the various rivers which had to he. forded by the French troops: during the war in Italy.
