A report was in circulation at Gibraltar on the 27th ult., that the Emperor of Morocco was dead, and that a serious af- fray had taken place on the island of Cen- ta, between the Spaniards and Moors The troops were called out. 7,000 Moors had collected, and at last accounts these parties were in battle on the night of the 26th and setteral Were killed on both sides. The English mail steamer Indus was fired on twice from the Spanish fort at Tarifa on the morning of the 26th ult., while her ensign was flying. A cyclone passed over Calcutta on the 26th July, 46 vessels including two steam- ers were lost in the river Hoogley. Im- mense damage done on the shore, and many lives lost. NO particulars. At a meeting of the Zurich plenipoten- tiaries Sept. Ist., the regulation of the Lombardian frontiers and the separation of civil and ecclesiastical jurisdictions were discussed. The Australian mail steamer Northam was lost the 20th Aug., in the Red Sea. The mails and passengers were saved. Uneasiness was felt in Paris on account of the Zurich Conference, and rentes had declined. The first National Assembly of the. .Romagna was opened at Bologna on the lst of September by the Governor Gener- al, who in a speech congratulated the peo- ple on the alacrity with which they had hastened to the Electoral districts to re- cord their votes. He had, he said, pro- vided for the defence of the country against aggressions from all sides, by form- ing a league with the neighbouring States. A letter from Bologna states that, at the popular elections, priests depOSited “their votes as freely as citizens, and that ;’the result was an immense majority in fa- vour of the liberal ticket, which goes against the re-establishment on any con- dition of the temporal power of the Pope. The aristocracy were at the head of the movement. The finances of the Romagna were in excellent condition, and no doubt the new Government would be able to go on with out a loan. Since the overthrow of temporal power of the POpe, the banditti and smugglers who had infested the Romagnahad entireâ€" :ly disappeared. A Paris letter says there is no doubt that the Zurich Conference disagree about many points touching the peace of Villa- franca, and the opinion is growing stronger every day that a congress must be held. NEw YORK, Sept. 19. The steamship Persia, from Liverpool on the. 3rd, arrived here at three o‘clock this morning. She brings 232 passengers On the 5th, at 10 p.m., she broke the crank of her port engine, and laid to until the 7th, 9.45 p. m., under canvas. when she proceeded. . The Paris correspondent ofthe London Times, writing on the eve ofthe lst, savs of the Zurich Conference :-â€"â€"“ I can add nothing to what Istated yesterday,.except that they are every hour expected to come to an abrupt close, without any result worth talking about. The diicliies, are of course,a great difficulty, and there ap- pears no possibility of a settlement. The Emperors are agreed as to the propriety or necessity of restoring the two Dukes. but diverge on the means ofsettling it. Austria would not, perhaps, object to force. France will employ moral suason, which does not appear to have made much progress; while Piedmont is still ready, we are told, to accept the annexation spontaneously offered. Now, the case is this: if Piedmont annex, Will Austria rc- commence the war '! and, ifAusiria recom- Inences the war, will Franceonce more fly .to the relief of an old ally. 2:” G {EAT BRITAIN. The trial trip and sailing, for America .of the Great Eastern is postponed. She was to leave the Thames- on the 6th, and will remain at Portland untilthe 17th, when. after a trip to sea of three days, she will return to I'lolyliead, sailing from thence on, the 29m. inst... for Portland, Maine. At a meeting oftl'ie» Mercer Dock Com- pany, Mr. Mclver stated that as soon as the result of the Great Eeastern‘s trial trip. was known, the Cunard Co. intends, if the trial be successful, to order the con- struction for their service of a vessel of great size. He also stated that they were now building eight large steamers, includ- ing one paddle wheel steamer larger than the Persia. ' FRANCE. The relaxation of the press system was said to be under the serious consideration of the French Government. The Moniteur of Bologna declares it- self authorized to contradict the rumor of any projects of aggression against Romag- on on the part of Papal troops. The correspondence of the Times says that latest accounts received in Paris were far from being favorable. An advance of Pontifical troops in Legations was believed to be imminent. If they are successful, the entry of the Duke of Modena in his states, at the head ofliis army, is consider- cd probable, but iftlie Papal advance is re. pulsed, rising in Naples would most likely follow. A Milan letter expresses an apprehenâ€" sion that had blood was growing up be tween the French army of Occupation and the Italians. The return of the French Ambassador to Rome is accompanied by a rumor that the Emperor demands of His Holiness the establishment in legitimate legations of a , I vi.n‘..v;.

When the _Arabia left England-~Sepr tember 10â€"â€"the Great Eastern had attain- ed a certain amount of success. She had gone on her trial trip; she was safe at sea; and her conduct in the Thames ap- pears to have been all that was. expected of her. A very natural anxiety will be felt, till later intelligence arrives, to hear the report of her trial trip. The Zurich conference had suspended its deliberations; and Napoleon had ex- plained, through the Moniteur, his reasons for making peace. When the Zurich Conference meets again, it will find affairs complicated by the position taken by Pam ma and the Romagna; both ofwhich have resolved in favor of annexation to Pied- mont. The preliminaries of Villafranca stipulate for theg’restorat'mn of the ;old Or- der of things in Parma; and this protest of the people against that design will create new difficulties for the diplomatists. Things appear to be. assuming} {,t-hreat- ening aspect, in Europe. Prince Metter- nichgwas in Paris, offering, it was said, very seducive terms to Napoleon. France will join Austria in refusing to al- low the Italians any thing to say to the choice of their governors, Austria will not object to a throne being provided,in Italy for Prince Napoleon. These are terms which the French Emperor would proba’ bly be only too glad to accept. Russia, it is added, was likely tojoin France and Austria ; and the tripple alliance would at- tempt to give law to Europe. We ven- ture to add that, should such a thing take place, the United States would be ranged on the side of the despotic powers. The San Juan dispute would then be preciSely the thing Wanted. NOTICE.

Man is preeminently a social being; each individual being more or less dependent upon the other, as he is often obliged to unite with others for his own protection and benefit; henceâ€"society.â€" VVere we able to count up the im- mense advantages that union brings, we should be astonished. In peace and in war it is alike true that union is strength. So. obvious indeed is the truth that we feel we should only insult our readers by attempting to prove it. It is not long since the notion prevailed that the only requirement of farm- ing was muscular strength. As to skill or intelligence being requisite, it was thought all nonsense.â€" That day we hope, however, is passed. Agriculture is indeed a science, and the more intelligent the man the better the farmer, is begin- ning now to be considered a truth. Thanks to our Township and Pro- vincial Exhibitions, for they have done much, and are destined to do more in the future to elevate to its right dignity the pursuit of agri- culture; not only have these eXlll~ bitions tended to enoble the pursuit of this all-important branch of industry, but they have also done much to improve the minds of those engaged in this pursuit. They have taught the agriculturist to think. and the result of this think- ing is, that stock is rapidly improv- ing, more grain and a better sample is raised to the acre, and comfort and good management have taken the place of uncomfort and, mismanage- ment; therefore it is that we are Viceroy, who should govern in the name glad to find that Fall Shows and of the Holy See. Exhibitions are on the. increase New Yonx, 19th Septâ€"A gentleman throughout the Province. who came a passenger in the Persia de- rrik " «- The grand Provincial Exhibition ;"*'«::.‘l’i‘7li‘.‘ wasdisabled will be held at Kingston on the If Already we find there have been nearly four thousand entries in the different departments, and many more will doubtless be rcgitered‘ before Monday evening, whcn'tlie books will be finally closed. The Local Committee are making the most admirable arrangements for the occasion. The Crystal Palace has been repainted. A large build- ing for cattle has been erected, cap- able of holding about 200 headâ€"â€" There are also stables sufficient to hold 100 horses; neither have sheep, pigs, or poultry been forgot- ten. There is also a Mechanical Hall 108 feet long, and 56 feet wide We expect there will be a good display Oftlie natural and in- dustrial productions of the Province. There will also be Concerts, Popu- lar Lectures, a Public Banquet, Balloon Ascensions, &c. TOWNSHIP AND COUNTY EXHIBITIONS. These are to our mind of equal, if not greater importance than Pro- vincial Exhibitions. We are happy to announce that there will be no paucity in this respect, for on Thursday, the 6th of October next, the Markham Agricultural Fall Show will be held at the VVelling- ton Hotel, Markham Village, when about $600 will be awarded in pre- miums; and on Tuesday, the llth of October, the Electoral Division, East Riding of York will hold their second Fall Show and Cattle Show atMalvern, Township of Scarboro’, when upwards of $920 will be awarded as premiums. On the 11th and 12th of October, the North York Electoral District Agricultu- ral Society will hold its second Fall Show at Newmarket, when promiâ€" ums will be awarded, as see printed prize list. We have only to add that we tended, as it is nearly impossible to overrule their importance. >04 BUY AT HOME. It is not our purpose in these few remarks to dictate. to our subscribers the particular stores in which to make their purchases, or the precise place in which to get or bepraise any particular indivi- dual, or set of individuals. We leave this task to others, namelyâ€".- the buyers themselves, as. they are the bestjudges, but we think that many persons do not do the thing that is fair and just to the merch- ant, the tradesmen, or mechanic of the village in which they reside.â€" It is too much the habit with many people to go to town and make their heaviest purchases, and to give to the country storekeeper, mecha- nic, artizan and tradesman, what. we. term the tail end of their cus- tom. Forinstance the ladies will get their best dresses in town, and buy only the common and cheap- est in the village. The gentlemen will buy their best broadcloth, new harness and buggies in town, and only give the repairing of their old boots, buggies and harness to the village tradesman or mechanic. Now this sort of thing is not ex- actly right. We are aware that every one has a right in the ab- stract to buy what he pleases, and where he pleases, but we think that he who neglects to encourage the merchant or mechanic who lives in his own village, does not act on the li.e and let live prin- ciple, neither does he act on the true principle of self-interest; for we hold that every one is more or less interested in the preoperity oftlie place in which he resides. Take for example the owners of pinperty. We all know that pro- perty increases in value just in pro- portion to the prosperity of that place in which that property is si- tuated. The owner of that property spends nothing in the village, but because perhaps he can save a few cents by buying in town.â€" He never makes purchases in that village. Who with half an eye does not see that such an one is penny wise and pound foolish: for did he only buy at home he could soon get what he wants as cheaply as in town, and insure the rise in value of his own property as well; for by buying at a d lance we hinder our merchants from laying in a stock, because there is no demand; and in order to live they charge higher for what they sell than they otherwise would do; for you may depend upon it, that if you will only buy at home our merchants, mechanics, 820., will. soon find it to be their interest to get goods in that will suit you, and With increasing demand will come increased competition, so,that the risk of monopoly is not very great. Therefore to every owner of property we would say, if you wish tO enhance the value of your own property, buy at home. Nor is the owner of property the only person interested in buying at home. We hold that every one re-l siding in a village or town isinter- ested. in its prosperity; for the greater the population the more. de-, mand there will be for labour, and a better market. will be open to the farmer, mechanic, artisan and is- hOpe all these fairs will be well at- new harness or buggies, or to puff 4:. f- i 7' - tradesmana Give to- our‘ more- cbants increased custom, and they will add to the number of his clerks. Give to our carpenters, harness makers,,waggon and buggy makers, Sac. increased patronage, and you at once cause an increase of population, and your property or goods which now bang on your hands, and cannot be got rid of at. any price, will soon be bought, and every one will be thriving, and hard times will fly away like poverty at the touch of the magi- cian who converted evory thinginto gold. Our advice therefore to one and all is, buy at home. >04 MONEY !â€"WHAT TO ,Do WITH IT! Kind Providence has this year blessed us with a bountiful bar-x vest. The golden grain is safely housed, and our fields are seeded down. Soon now will this grain be taken to market, and converted into that scarcest of all articlesâ€"~. money. The circulating medium will soon change hands, causing the busy wheels of commerce, which have so long been idle. to be set in motion; for there is no mistake about it, that upon agri- culture Canada mainly depends. If the farmer reaps no harvest, or a poor one, the mechanic and the merchant are alike at a stand still. But take it all round, this year’s harvest is a good one; therefore we hope that the mechanic and the merchant will soon be busily employed. We would, however, ere. new purchases are made, seriously ad- vise every one to wipe oil old scores, Ol‘ln plain terms, the first thing to be done is, pay your debts. One would be astonished could be only look over the ledgcrs of the Storekeeper, Mechanic or Printer, to see the amount of indebtedness, and some of these debts are oflong standing too. It is his that. cripples our merchants, dzc. Their stock is low; they are hard set to make two ends neat; and why? Why, just because they have money out, and cannot get it in. In the past we grant you there has been some. excuse for this rcmissness in paying debts, but it is not so now. A golden harvest has been reapedâ€"â€" Thc worth of this grain can be, realized in hard cash. Then we call upon all those who wish to. be esteemed honest, to pay at once their debts, for we hold that he who withholds or neglects to pay a just. debt, is just as much a rogue as he who picks your pocket. Do not wait till you are donned for the. money, for that looks very much like your not intending to pay at all; and besides, it is un- just to put your creditors to that trouble and expense; for the ex- pense and trouble attending the collecting of debts is so great that many lose their just dues, rather than incur this serious inconveni- ence. Possibly, however, there may be some, who through no fault of their own, are so hard pressed as to be unable, even with a good harvest, at once to meet the de- mands made upon them. TO such there is only one honest course openâ€"don’t sneak coward-like. out of your creditors way, but walk up to them like a man, and tell them what you can do, for in so doing you will at least show an honest heart. We have written thus because we are convinced that there is great laxity in this respect. The credit system has been carried so far, that men recklessly incur lia- bilities without. one thought of how they are to be met. We are atvare that all the blame does not lie with the debtor. The creditor has much to blame himself for.â€" In his anxiety to sell, he has held out unlimited credit as an induce- ment to buy; hence the insane speculative mania which has ruined so many. If there had been more cash bargains, or shorter and fixed periods of payment, fewer pur- chases, we will grant you, would have been made, but every one would have been better off than now, as there would have been less indebtedness. For ourselves, we will add that we have taken very little money in at presentâ€"â€" very few comparatively bave’as yet paid us, either for the paper or book accounts; and as we do not wish to dun, we hope that all who are indebted to us will at their ear-v licst convenience. either call and pay us, or remit it by mail. The respective amounts are but small, but the aggregate is more than we can afford to do without. much longer. All registered letters are at our own risk. We hope that a word to the wise will be sufficient, and that all will do with their money what is most necessary,â€". that is, pay their debts. Mm” Tm: PRISONER. Moonsâ€"Robert Moore was, on Friday morning. the 16th inst., removed to Toronto Jail, there to await his trial for causing the death of his wife. We hear he showed considerable repugnance to being taken to that place of entertainment. COUNTY COURT AND COURT OF QUARTER SESSIONS. The Court of General Quarter Sessions for the United Counties of York and Peel, opened on Tuesday the 13th inst., at twelve o’clock:- the Hon. S. B. Harrison, chairman, presided ; and the following gentle- men, Justices of the Peace, were associated with him . â€"-- Amos Wright, Esq., h’l.P.P.; John Sleigh, Esq, Rice Lewis, Esq, .I. J. Hun- ter, M. D., and Matthew Teefy, Esq. There were two cases of“ap- peal ” from convictions by our local magistrates, to come before the court, in consequence of which so- veral denizens of Richmond Hill were compelled to attend. It was soon ascertained that Colonel Crooksliank had at the eleventh hour withdrawn his appeal from 'a convic- tion by Amos Wright, Robert Marsh, and John Duncumb, Esq’rs., on a charge of assault on Mr. William Myers. The withdrawal was per- mitted, on condition of paying the fine and costs, which were consider- ably increased by the gallant Colo- nel neglecting to give the re- spondeiit (Myers) due notice of his intention. The "appeal" Of William Dun- can fi‘om a conviction by Robert Marsh and John Duncumb, Esq’rs., for damages awarded for killing a pig belonging to a man named Con- iioly, was quashed with costs.

Sm,-â€"-â€"Tlic harvest is ended, the great ultimatum of the farmers hopes is reacliedâ€"â€"-tlie security of his crops. With a liberal band has the son of 1,011 scattered his seed, and bountifully has nature yielded her increase. Thousands of our sturdy yeomen, upon whose brows have been ‘furrowed for the last two years lines of anxiety and dark forebodings, begin to feel at caseâ€"anxiety gives'place to joy, and gloomy thoughts to prospectsof a pleasant futureâ€"and thousands who depend on the success of the agriculturist for subsistence, are this day lifting up their hearts in praise and adoration to the Giver of all good, for His kindness in providing them with meat in due season. Al- though the fiat of the Almighty has gone forth, “ that man shall earn his bread bv the sweat ofliis brow,” yet be has so ordered it that times in- tervene when man may wipe the perspiration from his face, and shake the dust. of the threshing floor from his feet ; when after weeks of unusual toil, he can sit down and enjoy the fruit. of his labor. This, we believe. will be the casein a few weeks. The time and Oppor- tunity will then present themselves for another system of culture, that of the mind. The Divme Being has placed in man a mind capable by proper cultivation of receiving a vast amount of knowledge, but like the diamond from the quarry, it must undergo a certain degree of polish before its natural brillianoy is dis cernable. The improvementof‘ the mind therefore should be the aim _..,_ “JUL... ,v . ‘_ w... _ of every individual, but especially the yound. The knowledge with which a majority ofour fathers con- tented themselves is not sufficient for the youth of the present day.â€" This is an age ofimprovcmcnt, and it belioves every young man to pro- fit. by the wisdom of his forefathers, to seize and retain with tenacious grasp every new idea which will add to his intellectual acquire- ments. This can only be done by obscrvation and study. To him who is really desirous of acquiring knowledge, wisdmn’s ways will indeed be ways of pleasantness, nolliwitlistanding that his pursuit of it may sometimes be under difficul- ties. We scorn the idea‘tliatinnale talent is requisite in order to make ra id strides in the paths of know- ledge. We admit its utility, but the experience of thousands proves that it is not essential. When Clark, the Biblical Commentator, and Walpole, the British Statesâ€" man, were boys, they passed for thickbeads, and the subsequent Sir master told him he would have to leave the school; yet these became men of gigantic minds, whose names will never fade from the page of history. This ought to give encouragement to all; it might to prompt- us to persevere, to give c.oser application to the ac- complishment of the object upon which the 'mind is set. The brightest ornaments of the last two centuries were men who succeeded, not by the aid of genius, but by resolute porseverance, the result has been a life of usefulness and honor. Are there not those who are willing to endeavor to imitate such noble examples, and to de- vote a little of their valuable time to the improvement of the mind ?â€" Tlie long evenings are. setting in, the winter is at band,“ and we be- lieve that there are hundreds of farmers, who like ourselves, some- times bave an evening hour to spare, who would gladly endeavor to add a little to their stock of knowledge if a favorable opportu- nity presented itself. Then let there be Reading-rooms, Writing Classes, and Mechanics Institutes organized throughout Markham, Vaughan, and the surrounding townships. Let every Village and town boast its assomation for men tal improvement, and the. result will be a decided change for the better in. the morals and intelligence of the rising generation. And while speaking of Mechanics‘ In- stitutes, it brings to our mind a do sure to express a hope that the as- sociation in the village of Rich- mond Hill will not forget to renew the lectures and discussions, in lis- toning to which, so many of our last winter evening’s were so plea- santly and profitably spent.

Sin,â€"-â€"Allow me a small Space in your valuable paper, for a brief account of a “I’ic-nic” field at Chalk Lake on Tuesday, the 13th inst. On Tuesday, the 13th inst..a very agreeable “Picnic” was held at Chalk Lake under the di- rections of the “Good Templars” of this village. The day was rather cold, yet all appeared to en- joy themSclvcs well. About nine o’clock A.M., “ Trudgeon’s Victoria Masonic Band ” entered the village. playing alively and beautiful air. A procession, consisting of several carriages, headed by the band, proceeded at once to the banks Of the lake; a few moments had only elapsed when the well stored baskets made their appearance ; a moment more and the whole party were engaged in the discus- sion of cakes, pies, 8w. Ample justice being done to this depart.- mcnt, the party partook themselves to different kinds of amusements; some took a “cruise” upon the. lake, others joined in the “merry dance,” which was kept up with spirit until about 4 RM. The band struck up “ Home sweet Home.” The procession was immediately reformed, and re- turned in good order to Claremont, Where the party separated, highly delighted with the pleasures of the day. Yours, truly, A SPECTATOR. Claremont, Sept. 16, ‘1859. DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT Solemn. â€"â€"Thursday morning, between the hours of three and four o’clock, an attempt at suicide was committed in the Township of Cartwright, by a man named Alexander, who had been on a visit to his sister at Cook’s mill, about '7 miles from this place. Dr. Ware, of this town, was called upon to attend the sufferer, who describes his condition as truly frightful ; the wretched man, who, it appears, has been been labor- ing under the effects of intemperance, first inflicted a severe wound upon his left arm, with a razor, to the ulnar artery; after which he deliberately drew the razor across his throat, nearly severing the jug- named Thos, C ular vein.

We. yesterday noticed the arnest. at Windsor Ofa person named George Brown, who was travelling in females attire. The following particulars of the case we find in the Detroit Free Prch of he 17th inst. ‘ Officer Neile, of the Great Western Railway, arrested a man at the Windsor station yesterday morning, as he was going upon the ferry Union to cross: to this city. He was dressed at the time of his arrest in female clothing, and was ar- ‘ rested as a suspicious person. He came to Windsor as a passenger on the night'ex- press train from Ilka-minnow which place has had arrived on the l.‘oront0 train from POrt Credit, a station thirteen miles this side of Toronto, where he had procured a ticket through to Detroit. The conductor of the train noticed his movements while waiting on the platform at Hamilton, and, from his peculiar manner of walking, at once became satisfied that he was not a female, as his apparel indicated. Hefwas dresSed in a plain, dark colored travelling dress of worsted material, with a head Of broadly expanded crinolines beneath a check duster; and a broad dark-colored hat, with a deep black lace round the rim, intermixed with black bugles, that effect- ually obscured his countneance. On his entering the car. the conuuctor pointed him out to a brakeman, with instructions that he should be watched in all his move- ments, and the coadiictor be informed if he left the train at any station. He howâ€" ever, did not attempt to leave until the train reached Windsor, when he started with the other passengers to go aboard the boat, but officer Niile, having been informed of the suspicious nature of the case, at once arres‘ed him. When taken into the station, and his hat removed, his sex was at once apparent from his bristling heard, as well as his short hair and ' the general cast of his countenance, which was quite masculine. He then admitted his sex, but gave contradictory accounts of himself, that rendered all his stOries extremely improbable. At one time he stated that he came from New York, and then he had it from some Canadian town, but gave no particular excuse for his disguise. ‘He wasayoung man about twenty three or five years of age, about five feet- four inches high, with light hair, good teeth, hiin cheek bones, prominent. chin, a scar over his left eye, and a bald spot on the top of his head. . He was taken before Police Justice Caron, when he made a statement more in detail, which we gave for what it is worth. Hispname, he said, was George Brown, and came from Oxford county. Hegbad; been working for a man named John Dion-s his at Otterville, in that county. While there he became intimate with his employ-v er’s (laughter, which intimacy was received with apparent pleasure by the lady, but was wholly distasteful to her father, which- led to an elopemeiit, the runaways, pro: ceeding to Orilla, near Lake Simcoe. Here they found a refuge in the family of a man named Goold, where he changed clothes with the girl, and was taken by Goold to Port Credit, where he took the cars intending to proceed direct to Pontiac". He says he has friends living in Pontiac, but declines giving any names. When questioned further as to his knowledge of persons living in Pontiac he betrayed great ignorance, and then stated that be had formerly lived near Flint, where he was employed, four miles north of that place, about a year ago,by Messrs. John and Darwin Foster, farmers. He could give no other names of persons in that Vicinity. He was rema idea until Monday for further investigation. It is persumed tliatslie is a criminal attempting to escape from the Province.- A fi-w nights since a man was stabbed in l‘oronto, the assassin escaping. The fact of this man taking the cars in the owning in disguise, but a few miles from that city, with the evident desire of hastening away from the country, coiispires to fasten sus- picion upon him as the culprit. There. are other noted criminals from the lower» parts oftlie Province at large, and the. impression seems to prevail that he is one. of these. Justice Caron has telegraphed; to the Chief of Police at Toronto and other places in the Provmce, giving a full description of his person and asking for.- information.
