Some circumstances which occurred this morning may help to throw some light on the mystery. A Sardinian frigate was at the Faro this morning. Dr. Bertaui has arrived from Genoa, and has brought, it is said, important news. These two circum- stances would lead one to suppose that the mystery has a peaceful moaning.

I THE HARVEST IN BRITAIN. From the Liverpool Times, Aug. 18th. The. fears about the harvest are every day bectming worse. Ireland are despnnding, and the potato disease in many districts is deepening in virulence. The some cold damp Weather which has so. long [tttct‘ttided' on this side of the Channel appears to have been pretty general in the srster country. Strange to say, Scotland is the part of the United Kingdom where the prOspect is most cheer- ing. There they actually complain of a deficiency of moisture. in coming from London a day or two back through the Trent Valley, country for forty or fifty miles under water. It appeared. likeone vast lukewarm the tops of the’cereal crops were alone visible. Such a state of things in the middle of August is almost unprecedented' Still it would appear, from the state of the corn l l l l lattackcd. found the whole car the surest means of bringing' about that" consummation so devoutly to he wished for. There is no use, hOWever, to con- cealing from ourselves that it is an enter-, prise of considerable hazard. . The most worthless of princes fInVe had-men to bat- tle for their rights. Even Domitian has a favorite withthe soldiery. The Royal army have not only the advantage of numbers, but are well provided with arms and amunition, the want of which has been perhaps the greatest difficulty of their Op- ponents, whilst a chance shot or successful rally might rid them forever of the most dreaded of their fOes. It is much to be desired, yet scarcely [to be hoped, that the deliverance of Italy may be achieved, without further bloodshed, and that we may be spared the horrors of Daubian slaughter. Even the Royal family of Na- ples are divided, and somoof its members are anxious to quit the leaking vessel. The duke of Syracuse, the King’s uncle has joined the party in favor of annexation to Sardinia, and has made a proffer of his allegiance to Victor EIIImanUel. We can scarcely believe that Austria will deem the invasion of continental Naples the fitting moment for embarking in _a struggle that may present more diversified features,and involve greater operations than are at pre- sent .conceived, and many bring still mightier actors ‘on the stage. Francis Joseph with the wilful‘obslinacy oflIIs racc with talent and ability sufficient to ad- minister the municipal governinet Oftlie meanest village in his extensive empire, or'to command a guard of honor, may at any moment be hurried into a proceeding injurious .to his interests, and that will again spread ruin over the fertile Italy. Yet some of the able‘men about him must see, and endeavor‘to make him aware that any inter‘l'er‘ehte on, his part would be attended with most disastrous consequen- ces, and that instead of adding to his IMH- Or or security would be more liker to eveiitua‘te in his degradation and his shame. France, with her hankering after natural frontiers, is not likely to stand quietly aloof, while Austria sets up and deposes whom she will; nor will Sardinia, eluted by the fame and large addition of territory that she has lately acquired, prove false tO those principles she has so nobly main- taiiicd'! While the sympathies of Eng- landeould be in favor ofany course that tended to the deliverance of Italy. \Vith a bankrupt excliequer and the fires of rebellion smoldering in almost every quarter of an empire, composed Ofso many discordant States, Austria will hardly Ven- lure to provoke the quarrel. She may resort to all the tricks and fineness of dip- lomacy; she may threaten and bluster, but it is mere brulumfulmcn. She will find discretion the best part of valor, and it will he quite time enough to fight when An enpire that has for years lasted merer on sutl'erance, that has been rcgnrdvd by a class of politicians as the best means of preserving the balance of Europe of curbing G‘illfltie insolence and oppOsing Rugsian aggression, onght not to be the bust to disturb the peace of Europe. and let slip the‘dogs of war.

'At the several political meetings we have attended in. King’s Divi- sion,,there has been this peculi- arity amongst Mr. (Perry’s Oppo- nentsâ€"they nearly, Without excep- tion. admit that. his platform is far preferable to Mr. Reesor’s; but say they, we are afraid that be is not honest in the advocacy Of the prin- ('iples enunciated ; but: when asked‘ why this fearfithey reply, oh ! he. does not belong torour party. viz,-- the party Of Brown, Macdougall, Recsot‘ 8t Co.,-â€"he does not swear » by our Shibboleth, therefore he can- not be right. These are thevonly reasons you can get them to give for their oppositionato the truly in- dependent candidate, as was openly avowed at .Thornhill last ‘veek â€"â€" Now we admit that it is Of‘tflt) first importance that ' we should have honest men to represent us; it Isfor . want of such men that the present dissatisfaction subsists; for bad we honest men in power, the only er- rors committed would be those' Of the head. not, the heart. ,But we submit that Mr. Perry is an honest man, and that his Oppo- nent is, as a politician, quite the re- verse. With Mr. Perry it is MEA- SURES, with Mri’Reesor it is MEN. Mr. Perry through life has been a consistent politician; 'Mr. Reesor has been inconsistent, and changed his opinions to suit the exigencies of the moment. Mr. Perry is a man of principle, Mr. Reesor is'a man Of expediency. As proof that those "assertions are truthful, we will compare the addresses Of the two candidates, beginning with Mr. Perry’s. In reading that. address. we find that he tells you plumple and plainly the measures which will command Ibis support. 0n the question of the Union lie is particu- larly explicit ; and tii()rcover,0n ex- amining his past-there will be found nothing inconsistent with his pre- sent profrssions What he is now he always has beenâ€"~his opponents themselves being judges. The Colonist, who is now advocating Mr. Perry, is very distinct on this pointâ€"thus: " The groundwork of the Coalition Adminis- tration, to which all who were parties are ex pressly committed, was evidently that, where a Moderate Reformer Would best represent the rooting at a cuiistituoncy, he should have Cou- servative votes, and vice oersu.” “(It was well known that Mr. Perry inherited the Radical views of his late father. It was well known that he was likely to command a large vote in his own neighbourhood on this very ac- count. Tho Convention was invited to choose botwwn him and a Conservative candidate: and, whether fairly or not, they did choose hint," and the vow was declared unanimous We do not find in MI. Perry’s address. or Iriseubscquent conduct. anything which we had not a right to look for from his previous professions. 'f‘heso 8!. the plain facts Shall we, tron, as Consor- vativos, quarrel with Mr Perry because he is not what we never expected him to be?” Does not this plainly show that he. does not come before the electors under false pretenccsl and further, docs it not also show that he is no eleventh hour , convert ,mcrely to catch votes? But, says his oppo~ nents, which party will hesupport? We cannot do better than give. the answer that Mr. Perry has invari- ably given tO such interrogations. We give his Ovvn words as uttered at the Thornhill meeting râ€"- “Gentlemen, I never received a “favor from the present Ministry ; “I have no favors tO ain Of them; “ here is my platform, and by this “alone am I bound. If the present “ Ministry will not come down “and give the reform, I here do.- "‘Inatid they will not have my sup- “port. (Hear, hear.) I shall sup- ' .“ port thernjust so far as they advo- " cate or endeavor to carry out “ these measures. Ifyou want me “ to pledge myself to Oppose or sup- “port any man or set of men, “through thick and thin, right or “ wrong, then I am not ijUl‘ man. “ (Hear, hear.)_ I will never pledge “ myself to support George Brown, “ unless his principles and mine “ agree. If,'gtzntlcmi3 .2, I'should be [ "chosen by you " wish you dis- “tinctfy to understand that by my “ platform alone I am bound. I am “as independent ofthe Ministry and "of George Brown as any man in -‘ this room, and by my address I “ am prepared to stand or fall.” And In his address he thus concrudes :â€" “Gettllwnon --â€"In solit'iling your support as a candidate for the representation of King Divi- sion in the Logislatwo Council, I may say in conclusion IIXHI. I have no personal ambition to serve. nor privato object to 5min, and should! have the honor to be elected I will go to the House free rind untrainelled and unplodgod, to support any political party or set of men, ‘ for the sake of the party ’ My political views on the public questions of the day are now fairly before you. Those principles are such as I be- iievo the true interests of the Province demand, 0‘ , :- and will under every circumstance and condi- tion find in me a warm advocate. Men may come into power 10-day and go out to-morrow. . -â€"Ministrios may exist two hours or two years, but the weltare of the Provinceâ€"arid the future greatness and prosperity of my native country, will always be my first consideration.” This is the position that Mr. Perry OJCUPICS it is one Of ‘rnanly We. have been too long ruled by party spirit; its ill effects are every day seen. It is a constant struggle between the ins and the outsâ€"the ins to retain their places, and the outs tO supplant them. .Now, we ask, is it not high time that such a dishonorable wai- fare should cease? If so, then let us elect honest independent men to represent us We Will now take a glance at Mr. Reesor’s position. He, .tOO, has issued an address, which even on‘ the great question of the day, the Dissolution ofthe Union, gives an uncertain sound. .Lest, how- ever, we should be accused of misrepresentation,‘ We give the paragraph entire ‘; i I independence. "I am of opinion that 5 change in the Coir- atitutional relations of Upper and Lower Canada is absolutely necessary ,to protect the rights and interests of the people of this section of the I'm- Vince. and restore to thorn the blessings of good -‘1.i0vel'tltllt‘tlt. The extent and the particulars of thatvcliatigo can only be properly and finally determined. and alIOl a lulljliscunsiuu by some properly Coiistiiuted body charged with that spe- cial duty. llut I believe the principle upon which the change ought to be based is, In allow the people of each section oft/re Province to manage their own local off/ms in their own way leaving matters of joint 0/ common interest only to joint or common control. In tho meantimeâ€"until these changes can be accomplishedâ€"I desire to see the principles they involve respected, and as far as possible practi cally applied both in the Legislature and Exe- cutive Adriiiiiistration of the country ” Can any one imagine anything more indefinite than ,this. It moans, in plain Englishfthat some- tning is wanted, but what he does not know; but not only so, but the above is dishonest because it is not in accordance with the opinions expressed by him in his own paper down IO last January, and it is also contrary to what be ex- pressed in conversatith last May. In his address he advocates DIsSOLU'rION of the UNION with some JOINT AUTHORITY, the con- tinuance ol SEPARATE Sermons, and the abolition of the Queens Printer- sl‘llp. In his paper ofJune 24, 1858, he says that no CoNsTITu- Tlt‘NAL CHANGES are needed.â€" Five weeks later, viz: July 29, he advocates DIsSOLU'rION .Ponn and SIMPLE. III August 12th, 1858, he is in favor of the entire ABOI.ITION OI‘SEPAIMTE SCHOOLS. In the some issue, he says that REPRESENTA- TION by POPULATION is the cure for all the cvrls complained of, and adds, that the. Bl‘OWD-Dt)l‘lt)n Ad- ministration would haoe obtained it. Mr. Reesot has now entirely aban- doned it, as it is not II‘Ienlioned in his address. The Economist of September 15, 1859, is against the FEDERAL UNION OF UPPER AND LOWER CANADA. In July, 1859, he again agitates for Dissolution. pure and simple, and threatens revo‘ lotion if it is not Obtaincd-as also in September 29 In November 24,1859, he goes in for a W'ri't- ten Constitution; and in Decem- ber 8, 1859, Ire urges in favor of a lDouble flfrijorily Systcm~cven as jlale as last January 3rd, 1860. he still goes in‘ for DISSOLUTION, PURE and SIMPLE, and calls the. celebrated 'I'oronlo Convention hard names be- : cause it did not decide in favor of that scheme. Electors, are you prepared to give your votes to a man who has a new remedy, and new. sets of opinions every six months? Ask Mr. Reesor what he means by changing so often, for the chances are that be may yet change to be a thick and thin supporter of the. Government; for as a politician he is without principle, and entirely ignorant of the wants of the Pro- vinct‘, and is even now charged by two brother Councilmen of jobbery, 8m; and has to stand on his de- fence, as an action has been entered against him in the Court of Queen’s Bench.

PERRY’S CANVASS. MEETING AT VICTORIA SQUARE MARK' HAM. On Thursday evening, the 30th ult., Mr. Perry held a crowded meeting at the above place. The meeting,r was organized by::calling Mr. Macy to the chair. Mr. Perry spoke for about an hour and a lia.f, and his address was listened to with great attention. At the close Of his address a vote was taken, which resulted in a I'najoritvfor Mr. Perry, although the Clear Grits had numbered in full force. MEETING AT TIIORNHILL. According to announcement, Mr. Perry held a meeting in the large room Of Lemon’s Hotel, on Friday evening, the 3Ist oil. The mom, capable ofseating 200 pursuits, was crowded; the Clear Grits coming in for miles round, as Mr. Reesor was expected to be present. ; he was owever, non est. The meeting was organized bv appointing R. Arnold, Esq, to the chair, and Mr. ll. Edwards, of the York Herald, as Secretary. Mr. Perry, on coming forward, was loudly applauded.â€" In an able speech, of nearly tWO hours, he explained his platform to the electors, and showed the utter inability ofa joint. autlIOiity tO cure any ofthe evils under which, as a Province, we labored. He also re- viewed Mr. Reesor’s platform and. amid loud cheers, contrasted it with the opinions he had pl’BVIOtl'SIV advocated in the Markham Emmi- mist. Mr. Perry said he had been at some pains tO read the Economist Of the. past eighteen months, and was surprised to find that up to within the past few months, Mr. Reesor, in his own editorials, had advocated opinions totally ’ at variance with the address is- sued to the electors. After Mr. Perry had concluded, Mr. John Lane endeavored to make some points against Mr. Perry, but Was completely floored, not only by Mr. Perry, but also by his own brother, Mr. W. Lane, who proved conOIUsively that it Was not Mr. Perry wnO hadabandonetl the Re- formers, but it was Clear Grits like Mr, Brown, Mr. McDougall and Mr. Reesor. who'had abandoned the. true Reform cause. The house then divided, the friends of Mr. Perry going to the right, and those in favor of Mr. Reesor to the left. The result was announced to be 150 for Mr. Perry and 50 for Mr. Reesor. During the entire pro- ceedings the greatest good humor prevailed, and at the close many Of Mr. Perry's opponents came and shook him warmly by the hand, and admitted that he had, by his able address, disarde much Of their hostility.

But they are divided amongst themselves into Liberals and Bigots,-as I Will callr them for the present, of the last mentioned‘ class are Brown, Gould, & C0 , conse- quently when the liberals would bring for- ward measures for the gopd of the Pro- vince and Society at large, the; bigot.» would oppose them. and when the bigots would bring forward measures which the liberal minded portion would see and know to be injurious t0 the general \Vellfare of the Province, many of the Lower Ca- nadian members would join with them in voting them down, and tnis is the reason why the Clear Grit leader and his pack of spaniels want to dissolve the union. Now I will address a few words to all liberal and candid minded men in the community, I care not whether English, Scotch, Cana- dian, or Irish, Catholics, I Protestants, Presbytrrions‘, or Methodists, &c. If the only cry against Separati- schoolsywasvâ€"N that it would be the means of keeping "up religious dissensions amongst, the children, win-re is the use in. such precautions I would ask? when we hear it bellowed forth at every pub.ic meeting, by every who rvan’ls to make election cupitnl out of it, and sowing broadcast the seeds of religious dissension, not amongst children but amongst Inch. Tho-Ii such precautions as the former are all bumbug, because Catholics are in the minority here, it makes no matter, that they are. industri- ous, well meaning then, doing everything they. can, according to their ability for the common good liberal even to a fault, in all their public act‘s, they must be denounc- ed by McDorrgal, Gould 8:. Co., as Papisli- fin-n the Clear Grit Candidate the other night, at this vil~ l sentiments Inge did not fOrgr-t to fellas that the Lowrr Canadians differed from us in religion. and endeavoured to impress it by several repr- litions. Now in my opinion, and which slinu'tl be the opinion Of every liberal minded man in a ll'llXI‘tI conununrty ; is that the bigot should be excluded from office, and when all rlnsscsjoin to electing a public HEI'WUII, . for the public Welfare ofthe Province, that pcrson should be of knowu liberal princi- pics and sound integrityâ€"but if the Inn-- jority through religions intrleranCe and a dourimering SPII‘II.CIt'CI a person obnoxious to the minority, they commit an act of iii- justice, to their fellow man, an act that will dismemher society, and mitigate- tngllllPI the Wi-llfarc and pmsprrity 0f the Province.

Now I would ask any man in they‘rianie of commOn-sense leaving Logic out of the question, how can suuli a Province rule Upper Canada. A noble.

'f‘licrefoie to make a beginning in the noble r:\ttst',let every liberal mindrd man (I appeal not to Bignts.) from Iinst lo- lVest, throughout the Division. Conserva- tive. or Reformer, record their vote for II. Perry, the present independent Candidate, for Kings Division, and they will not have came to regret. A CANADIAN. (To the Editor of the York Herald.) SIR â€"-Understanding that some kind in- dividual Is passing round a petition praying Upper Canada; its inhabitants, a degraded l for the release 0f Ann Hutton. who is at present incarcerated in the penitentiary for theft. at the expiration of six months: I hope that from motives of humanity. none will refuse to atlix their signatures. Pre- vious to her trial she was industrious and tbe‘mam support of her family, as it is they is, the argument is 'prepostcrous,â€"â€"but be are destitute ; the father being aged and. gets dyer it thus, the whole. of the Upper infirm is unable to do a good days work, Canada members-are n corrupt, dishonest, and consequently the children are next. to. set of men, a sweeping denunciation, verily, starvation. I have heard it stated as an he tells us again that the Lowvr Canadians objection to signing, that when at home forcr laws upon us, injurious to this Prov- she will train them as tlieives, admitting nice, and again, that when any laws are that she would (and We are sufficiently being brought forward for this Province, charitable to lIOpe that experience has. they are of so little interest to Lower Cana taught her a' lessor: by which she will prov da members that some fall asleep, others lit,) it would not be worse,for unless 50",... leave their places, &c., this is Logic again. If his first assertion be true,tben the Up- per Canada members'are to blame, for they are equal in numbers. Unless they act like the Hon. George. Brown, with Amos \Vright. Esq's., bill to divide the Comty of York. from the City of Toronto, for judicial purposes, you ask how did he do why Ire fluttered a number of the Lower Canadian members to vote against it, and they thinking it a matter not of vital Importance to the Province, did not refuse to vote against It. He says I must vote against it, I will loose my seat for Toronto if I vote for it, and perhaps I could not get'another constituency, in vain did Mr. \Vright hold forth the inconveni- ent loss of time Sun, of jurymen brought from their homes to Toronto. in the most busy season of the year, and detained there for Wet-ks, when a few days would suffice for the business of the. County. but the Hon. George was inexorable, he did not care for the people, he cared for his seat, â€"â€"lhen why go so far from borne Mr. Reesor, to blame Lower Canada members, while an act of injustice like this could be perpetrated by lulu- great Clear Grit leader himself? it is plainly for election pur- poses, and because the country people have not the necessary information to contra- dict you. Then according to his second assertion, viz: that the Lower Canadians feel so little interest in laws regarding Upper Canada. rim that they are either asleep, or fear, their seats. Then why,‘ some could not the Upper ‘= min-liaise matte and pass laws ’ l .on politics differing from his cum. thing is done they have no alternative in. the coming winter but to steal or starve, and surely if four months is enough for an atonement for the blackest of crimes, six; is sufficient for the purloining cfa few yards of calico. 7 4.. “ RABBLF. BA [t-ROOM PRAC-. ’ 'I‘I'I‘IONERS.” To the Editor of the York Herald. Sm,-â€"-I was not surprised at the chess. tisement you inflicted upon the manic} chairman of Mr. Reesor’s meeting held at Gaby‘s Tavern, Richmond Hill, on. the 23d Of August lastâ€"It was justly merited. Mr. Dickson acted i'iirprudently in using such epithets towards his neighbors. and gives evidence of an exceeding faulty memory when he casts such reflections upon them because they entertain opinions. 'Ihcre is an old adage wuich he would do well to remember. willapply to his case in this in- stance: “ People who live in glass houses should not be the first to throw stones.” My object in addressing this to you is to remind you that Abraham Law signed his name to the report of that meeting, (which by the way is the most untrtrthl'ul statement in every particular, I have ever seen in print) as well as Mr. Dickson; and I consider him equally culpable, and should be held responsible as well as Mr. D. for using the term “ Rabble Bar-Room' Practitioners ” towards Mr. Perry‘s friends at that meeting“ In the first. place,
