There will be three instruments nfprnct‘.’ the first between France and Austria, :anotlier between France (Austria?) and Sardinia, and the third between the three Powers. Central Italian aliairs are to be settled by the Congress. It is 'asserted in Paris that the Austrian Government coucentcd to reduce the debt of Lombardy to be borne by Piedmont from 400,000,000 francs to a little more vthan half thatsum. GREAT BRITAIN. The London Times has another sharp editorial on the San Juan difficulties. It rejoices at Gen. Scott’s mission to the Pacfic, and trusts in a peaceful solution of ethc question.

The day was rough and stormy, nevertheless there was a very large concourse of people pre- sent. The Temperance Hall was the place in which the various things shown in the ladies depart- ment were exhibited, and the shed adjoining the said ball was set'apart for the display ofiroots, &c. In the ladies department, we observed some fine specimens ofcrotchet and embroidery work, also some beauti- ful quilts, covcrlets, mono chromâ€" ate, drawings, 810.; and as for roots, the potatoes were finer than those shown at the Provincial Exhibition. Turnips weighing 16 lbs, squashcs, three feet long. some very large bccts, mango] wurtzcls, pumpkins, and some splendid apples shown by Mr. Jenkins of Indeed such was the competition in this class, that we are sure the judges must have had considerable difficulty in deciding which was best. The show of horses was very large, particularly saddle, carriage, and team horses. The cattle show was not quite so good, siill there were some good beasts exhibited ; indeed there was on the ground one of the finest yoke of oxen we ever saw. There were also some prime sheep shown. line there were cultivators, ploughs, barrows, fanning mills, cutting boxes, waggons, 8w. Taking the. unfavorable state of the weather into account, we pronounce the fair a decided success. 0 COUNTY EXHIBITION AT NEWMARKET. We were not able for want of space to notice the Agricultural Show held at Newmarket on the Iltb and 12th inst., neither can we in this issue give it more than a passing glancc. Although our corâ€" respondent gave us information of its great success last week. Accord- ing to all accounts it was the best fair ever held there. A large ball was created, 40 by 100 feet, in which were'exhibitcd the roots, vegetables, dairy produce, &c. On the Swiss and neutral stations took place at enterng which, was seen some 'Catolica. The Paris correspondent of the London Times says Italian affairs are approaching. a crisis, and referes to the circular of the Sardinian Government, and quotes the order of lhedayjust issued by Commander in chief of Northern Italy, the promises that the tricolor of Italy, preceded by the old cross of Savoy, will precede ‘ them in the fresh battles, and will lor ever free Italy from the stranger. Garibaldi has also issued an address, summoning the Italians of the Legatrons to arms. A collission is shortly expected. and some think it will be produced by the Papal troops invading Romagna. ' Liverpool breadstulfs had a declining tendency, and prices were slightly lower, except for corn. PHONOGRAPHY.â€"“ Youths at school should be taught I’lionography. rJ‘hose intended for the learned profession would save fiveâ€"sixths of the time and labor at- .tendant on the use of the tedious long. gliahd. Youths who are to fill situatioiis .in counting-houses, offices, etc., should be xmade acquainted with this art, as they ,would find their services of greater value to their employers, could they write drafts of letters, documents, and take orders as fast. as they were dictated.”-â€"â€"Spring- field Reymbiiccm, 0.

There was also a good show of harness, leather ivork, indiau corn. toma- toes, beets, turnips, onions, 6L0.â€" Outside the building we found several pairs of ducks, geese, tur- keys, and other fouls. ploughs, washing machines, har- rows,‘turnip drills. Mr. Robinson, of Unionville, exhibited a mangle, cultivator, straw cutter, and a new implement called a potatoe digger, which was much admired. There were also on the ground fanning mills, carriages, and buggies; and Mr. Tliorley, of Toronto, exhibited his food for cattle, which attracted great crowds. There was a good show of horses, cattle, and sheep ; and on the evening of the second day’s exhibition, there was a grand con- cert by the Newmarket Choral So» ciely, which drew a crowded house, and passed off with great cclat. waggons, double and single, bâ€"mâ€"w' . ‘.-â€"'â€"‘ MEDICAL HALL, MARKHAM.â€"-ln our last issue in giving an account of the county show at Malvern, we stated that “ we were much struck on viewing some life-like likeâ€" nesses.

K. B., by being present at the inauguraiion of the new monument recently erected on Queen- ston Heights, (close by the spot where he fell in actionâ€"together with his Aid-de-camp, Lieutenant Colonel John McDonell. at the Battle of Queenston, on the 13th October. 18W.) The steamer left Toronto about 8 o’clock. A.M., and, after a delightful three hours run, safely landed her living freight at the vil- lage of Queenston-â€"horo the different corps fell into rank and marched from the wharf up to the summit ofthe heights. whereon the noble pile stands, known as Brock’s Monument, and which was erected as a token of national grati- titndeâ€"to the memory of a soldier. who died in defence of his country,â€"-by the voluntary contributions of the Militia of Canada. The work was commenced in 1853, and on the 13th Oct. the ceremonies oflaying the foun- dation stone, and also the third ro-iniormentof Brock took place. His remains and those of his aideâ€"de-camp, which had been temporarily re- moved to an adjoining burying ground, “are now conveyed to their resting-place in the new structure. A vast concourse attended to do homage to the illustrious dead. The foundation stone was then laid by Lieutenant-Colonel McDonoll, brother of the gallant man who shared the fate and tho liorwrs of the Com- mander-in-Chief, and addresses were delivered by several gentlemen. The column was completed in 1856, under the superintendence ofW. Thomas, Esq.. arch- itect, of Toronto, Mr. John Worthington being the builder; both of whom performed their part of the work in a. very creditable manner. Upon the solid rock is builtafoundation 40 ft. square and 10 feet thick of massive stone; upon this the structure stands in a grooved plinth or sub-basement 38 feet square and 27 feet in height. and has an eastern entrance by a mas- sive oak door and bronze patterns, forming two galleries to the interior 114 feet in extent ; round the inner pedestakon the north and south sides of which. in vaults, under the ground floor, are depoaitod the remains of General Brook. and those. of his AidewdesCainp, Colonel McDonoll, iii-a massive stone sarcophagi. On the exterior angles of the sub-basement are placed lions rampant seven feet in height, sup- porting shiolds with the armorial bearings of the heroâ€".011» the north side is the inscription (which ‘is given elsewhere.) The column is placed on a platform slightly elevated, within a dwarf wall enclosure 70.0 square. with a fosse around the interior. At each angle are placed massive military trophies, iii pedestals. in curved stone, 20.0 in height. Standing upon the sub-basement is the pod- estal of the order, 16.9 square. and 38.0 in height, the die having on three of its enriched pannelled sides, emblematic baso relieves, and on the north side, fronting Queonston, the battle scene in alto relievo. The plinth of the order is enriched with lion’s heads. and wreathes in bold relief. The c3- lumn is of the Roman composite order, 95.0in height, a fluted shaft, 10 0 diameter at the base: the loftiest column known of this style ; the lower tones enriched with laurel leaves, and tho flutes terminating on the base with palms. The capital oftho column is 16 0 Square,and 12.6 high. On each face is sculptured a figure of victory, 10.6 high. with extended arrns,grasp- ing military shields as volutes; the acanthus leaves being wreathed with palms, the whole after the manner of the antique. From the ground to the gallery at the top of the column, is continued a staircase of cut stone. worked with a solid nurel of 235 steps. and sufficiently lighted by loop-holes in the flutiiig of the co- lumn, and other circular wreatlted openings. Upon the abacus stands the cippas, support- ing the statue of the hero, sculptured in military costume, 17.0 high, the left hand resting on the sward, the right. arm. extended wrth baton.--- The height from the ground to the top of the statue is 190 feet. exceeding that of any monus mental column, ancient or modern, known, with the exception of that on Fish Street Hill,l .London. England, erec.ed by Sir Christopher Wren, architect. in commemoration of the great fire of 1666, 202 feet high, which is ex- ceeding this in height by 12 feet. Although the monument proper was finished in 1856, the lodge and surrounding ground were not finished until the earlypart of the pre- sent year. The ground containing about 40 acres have now been fenced in, and a stone lodge erected with handsome wrought iron or- namental gates and cut stonepiers. surmounted with the arms of the hero at the eastern en- trance. From the entrance a carriage road. of any ascent, winds up the steep, and is cori- tinued to the Heights by an avenue 100 feet wide, planted with chesnuts, maples, &c., tere mina ing at the monument in a. circle 180 feet diameter. lNApGURATION or THE NEW MONUMENT. Long before the arrival ofthe troops, Sir Fen- wick Williams, Commander of the Forces, and Sir Allan Macnab, were on the ground. Pend- ing their arrival Sir Allan employed the time by introducing to the hero ofKars all the old veter- ans of 1812, who had come out once more to see the scenes of their fighting days, and to do ho- nor to their fallen loader. About one o’clock all the men had arrived, and we shall endeavor to give a list of the officers, whose names were handed to usâ€"althcugh it is but a fraction of those present. We found it utterly impossible to procure the names of all the officers on the ground.
