She brings 244 cabin and 151 steerage passengers. She- experienced strong head winds. The Hibernian ar- rived at Liverpool on tlrc.rriorning:of the l-7th. The Bohemian paSSed the North American on the 22nd in fat. 56 north, long. 16.50 west, and the Great Eastern at Queenslown or. the 17th, disabled. The Bohemian brings her mails. The Bohe- mian left Liverpool on the 19th, and Lou- dondcrry on the 20th. The London Post says the new phase of tire American quarrel raised by Fre- mont‘sproclamation renders all hope of reconciliation or compromise impossible. A large business was done in cotton at Liverpool for export to America. The Edinburgh has also a large'quantrty, and three succeeding steamers also are fully engaged. Victor Emmanuel opened the great Ita- lian Exhibition at Florence on the 15th, was enthusiastically receiVed, and made a speech in favour of the unity of Italy, which was not yet complete. The Austrian government declines to grant a new constitutional organization at Vienna, but extends the privileges of ex- isting central organizations. The overland India and China mail brings nothing important. The Hong Kong correspondent of the Times questions the expediency of super- seding L‘lag Olliccr Stribbliug and recall- ing the American squadron from China, and says it remains to be. seen whether the Chinese will respect their engagements , with America, for already unpleasant ru‘ mours are circulating. GREAT BRITAIN. The discount market was quiet. The Great Eastern arrived at Queens- town on the 17th. She experienced a terrific gale after being two days out, about 280 miles west of Cape Clear. Both pad- dles were completely torn away, and the top of her rudder post, a bar of rrou ten inches in diameter, was wrenched off. She was unable to answer the helm, but lay like a log in the trough sea, rolling fright~ fully for three days, her bulwarks almost touching water, her furniture and luggage destroyed, and some passengers injured. It was expected every moment that she would go down. Her temporary steering gear was finally fitted, and the ship steamed back with her screw at nine knots an hour. I’tussell in the latest letter to the Times eulogises the army of the Potomac, and says it will soon justify expectations. He treats the Hatteras affairs as important, but the Times editorially does not build much. upon it, but regards the expedition downter Mississippi as far more impor- tant, and. its. success far less certain. The South has demonstrated her ability, to re- sist.sulrjectiori.if'. not to enforce her will, andiit is to be lamented so plain a fact should-not. have suggested suspension 'of the profitl‘ess strife. The Tzifizessaysnthe invitation to Gari- baldi was very 1.;A‘Imliat'ingzto the American Government, and thini.’g it wouldlb‘e a‘PltY for Garibaldi to accept. Further details of the disaster to the Great Eastern indicate that the calamity entirely arose. from the breaking of the rudder. The scene on the vessel was .fearful in the extreme. Everything break- able on‘board was broken. ' The ship rol- led so violently that her boats, although placed 30 or 40 feet above water, were washed away. Twentyâ€"five persons sus~ mined fractures from concussions; and cuts and bruises Were innumerable. Hard- ly avestige of the paddle wheels remained. After three days of intense anxiety a tem- porary steering gear was constructed, and the Ship proceeded towards Queenslown. When the Persia, in answer to signals from the Great Eastern, approached the latter, circumstances were such that the Great Eastern's engine could not be slackeuetl, and the Persia made off, pro- bably under the impression- that- foul play was intended. At a meeting of the passengers, Ca-p- tiain Walker’s exertions were warmly eulo- gised“, but severe comments were passed iupon the cordition of the ship, strength of paddles, and the way in which she was ballasted. As soon as the rudder was sufficiently repaired the ship would proceed to Liver- pool. The St. Leger race was won by Cal- IcrOue beating Kettlcdru-m by ahead only. Kildouan was third, about ten lengths-from Kettledrum. At the start Kettledrume was backed almost at evens against the field, which consisted of eighteen horses. while 100 to I was offered against the winner. A letter in the Times says that East Irndia cotton is regarded with increasing fuvnur. It is discovered that while Surat cotton makes beautiful cloth it also takes the dye much better than American. The Times, in some speculations on the cotton question, add-trees evidence to show that so far from American cotton being the arbiter of England’s destiny, her em- ancipation from all need of it is perhaps simply a question of eight or: nine millions sterling.

Not-withstanding the announcement that Garibaldir refused the ofl'er of a comma-rd in the Federal army, the latest Italian journals~ express considerable uncertainty as to his decision, and the Armenia of Turin states that Garibaldh and several of his old companions irrarms would actually proceed to America.

' the Provincial Association, in his annual address, referred, among other matters, to the change in our present system of farming that is likely to result, indirectly, from the ravages that the midge has of late years committed on the wheat, by directing greater attention to the propagation of stock. The import- ance of this subject has been fre- quently urged by those best ac- quainted with it; and not long ago, in an article on the crops oflhe pre- sent year, we briefly adverted lo the matter and curiously enough, almost in the same words made use of in the President’s address. To us it appears unaccountable, that although the great ‘ World’s Exhibition ’ at London is to take ;place next year, no further action :has yet been taken by the Provin- gcial Association, than merely to also sort that Canada should be properly represented on that occasion. We submit that something more tangi- ble should- havc been done than ‘mcrely to pass a paltry resolution, embodied in a score of words,wilh- ,out taking any steps practically to carry out the objects which it proâ€" fessed to advance. Some. scheme might have been proposed to secure a proper representation of Canadians products at London :, or at least a- committce could. have been: ap- pointed tO take charge of the mat- ter, and confer with the minister of agriculture on the best means of accomplishing. that object. But nothing of the kind has been done. The other British provinces‘have left us far behind. Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, have not been so dilatory.

It is true that the Legislature, during its last session declined, on account .of scarcity of money, to make a suf- ficient appropriation in the esti- mates of the year for this purpose. But an address trom the Associa- tion, urging upon Government the importance of reconsidering the question, .and yet granting the money would not be without its due weight. Or if this course were thought inadvisable,selections could have been made from among the articles exhibited at the Provincial Show, to be transmitted to London through the commissioners already appointed by Government. The oversight has doubtless arisen more from the hurry and bustle attending the winding up Of the business of the year, than from any want ofap- preciation of the importancevof the subject. We trust, however, that lsomething may yet be done to in- duce the Legislature to grant the funds necessary to ensure a credit- able display of our products at the Great Exhibition.

THE Provincial Exhibition held at London last week, has, we believe, exceeded any of its predecessors, not only in the sum of money that has been awarded as prizes to suc- cessful competitors, but also in the character of the various articles ex- There are few subjects farmer than those that come within Provincial Agricultural tAssocia- tion; and it would be difficult to attach too great an importance to the success of its operations.

This same article was written in the office of the Reonomist, and 'Bou‘es’ is the veritable authorâ€"‘ Autlers ’ and ‘ Snarleyyow ’ approvino. I hap- pened last week to be in the vil- lage of Markham at the ‘Franklin House,’ on Tuesday, when up dréve Bill the' Berm'k’ins, very pompous as usual.

No charge, gemman; come dis wayâ€"no _charge.’ On the south side I would set Sammy, as without Sammy the whole would be incomplete; but with Sammy, his digits at his nasal organ. 0 what a. tableaux l!

B. b-H Til-IE NEW GOVERNOR OF CA- NADA. From the London Post. At the present time the position of Ca- nadarosvregards prosperity, contentment and loyalty, is Such that the apporntment of a Governor-General would be a matter, comparatively of trifling importance if the interests of the Province were alone con- cerned. But unfortunately, the state of affairs in the neighboring republic [requires that the authority of the Imperial Govern~ ment should be exercised with a strong and vigorous hand, ' and that questions of international policy shouldnot be left to the decision of any locallcgislature or pro- vincial administration. The ofiice of Go- vernor-General of Canada is, in fact, a Viceroyship. The GOVernor-General is supposed, in Virtue of his commissron, to control the administration of all the sub- ordinate Governors Ofthe North American Provinces. He has to govern more than three millions of subjects, and he has not only to attend to their domestic welfare, but also to assert the rights and dignity of the mother country. The nobleman who has been selected to succeed Sir Edmund Head has had large experience of public _ and official life. Ile has been a useful and industrious‘member of the House, of Com~ mons, he has held the office of a Lord of the Treasury, and he has- had the benefit of the professional training of a lawyer. Viscount Monck, howevor, must remem~ her that he is about to assume an office which will require higher qualifications than those of balancing the claims of the political parties which in Canada, as else- where, are bidding for power. No one In this country much car‘es whether the ‘ Clear Grits ’ are in office ; or whether Mr. Brown or Mr. Cartier head‘the Pro- viricial Adrrriuistration. The most impor- Agricultural Society; For.” Weeks» taut duties which Viscount Monck will 7 have~to perform will be to maintain .the, neutrality of the Province, to develop its resources, and promote its material pros} perity, and to show to. the world that the monarcbial institutions of Canada confer more real freedom, and: have in them elei- meals of permanency far- greater than those of the neighbouring republic,. United States are finally separating, Bri- Federal unionVWhich Would give: national power and. organization to every province on the continent which owns the. sway off her Majesty. We do not anticipate that Viscount Monck will have a very difficult task. Even if by some accident peace should be restored in the United States, and half a million- men in. arms should be let loose upon Canada, the Province is quite ready, and‘ has full strength enough to hold its- owrr. Viscount MOI-ck, frow- ever, may accomplish much good by eleva ting the tone of public men in Canada. At present it is believed that the members of the Provincial Government (composed chiefly of lawyers) are not altogether inâ€" nocent of. complicity in those jobs which have made the Grand Trunk Railway a , scandal and disgrace to the Province. In thepresent circumstances of the United States he will not only have to maintain. the dignity and neutrality of Canada, but may foster manufactures and commerce, and, above all, attract to the Province that vast stream of emigration which hitherto has so unaccountany proceeded to the States of the American Union. He Will govern, at all events, loyal, contented and peaceable people, who enjoy aml appreci- ate as large an amount of political freedom and material prosperity as ever has fallen to the lot of man in the world. TRIAL or JAMES BROWNâ€"THE IIO- GAN MURDER.â€"â€"’l‘he trial of James Brown for the murder of Mr. IIogan has been again postponed lrll Friday, owing to the absence of one of the Crown wilneSSes from the city. Err-Constable Gribben ar- rived in town yesterday from New York. He has been brought here to give evidence by the Crown Council. It will be renrem bered that Ellen McGillich stated in her that Grrbben came up to her on the bridge about a couple of hours after the murder, and spoke to her about the blood on her face, caused by the blow she received from \Vard. Gribben states that he recollects meeting McGillich on- the bridge, and that she had blood on her face ;. but he says also that he thinks that it must have been on the 6th or 7th December, as he was on the beat near the Don Bridge on the nights referred to. He also says that a woman named Maria Doyle came up while he was speaking to McGillich. This is the firSt time Doyle’s name has been mentioned in connection with the case. on Court-street beat on the lst December, and on Stanleyâ€"street beat on the 2d De- cember,1869.

Marshall’s regi- ment", who was at Lexington, arrived this morning, having left there on Tuesday at noon. He saw no rebel troups between Lexington and Sedalia, and says the main body of Price’s was there, when he depart- ,ed, and believes they intend to take a stand and meet our troops there, as the vicinity is well calculated, from its stream and deep miry banks without bridges, to impede an advancing enemy. U i All the Federal officers have been res leased on parole except Col. Mulligan, 'who refused to give his parole for private reasons. ' Gem-Price has probably about 35,000 men, and ' the rebels on Thursday confir ‘dently expected that Gen. Hardee, with a force of 8,000 or 9,000 men, and Ben. McCollough, with 10,000 men, were twilhin twoor three days march of Lexing- r‘ton. They have no faith in Ben. Mc- Collough as a General, but think he is very effective with a small body of men. 10,000 rebels were sent across the Missouri river from Lexington, on Thurs (lay, with the aiowed intention ofattacking Gen. Lane. ' The seal of the State of Missouri and the public recc‘ords are in the hands of the rebels. Our troops had no cartridges, no shot, no grape, and no shell left at'tlre time of the surrender of Lexington, and had lost from 200 to 300 kegs of powder. The rebels are casting all kinds of balls at the Lexington foundry, which they are running day andnight. ' The rebels are greatly encouraged by their victory, and declare that St. Louis will soon be in their possession. .... WASHINGTON, Sept. 28. The conduct of the Federal troops to- day, while oecupying the grounds recently vacated by the rebels, resulted in burning of property to the amount of from $30,- 000 to $40,000", including houses and their contents, which were untenanted. no distinction being made as to the political character of theircwncrs. These wanton acts will doubtless undergo investigation by the military authOrities, as they were strongly condemned by Gen. McClellan, who went over to the Virginia side at an early hour to-day, visiting the various lor- cahties recently vacated by rebels». New YORK, Oct. 2.

For upwards of three years past, I have been engaged in a business, which has yielded me at the rate of $3.000 per annum, but being dosi- rous of going to Europe in the course of straw menths for the purpose of there introducingthe business, I am willing to teach it to any one‘who will send me $1. The business is no humbug, but of a highly useful and general character, adapted both to cities and villages, and one that any person of ordinary capacity, young or old, male or female. can acquire with a few hours' practice, and by which they can secure a very handsome income. Several young ladies who have received instructions from me, both in New York State and Pennsylvania, are earning upwards of $20 per week by it, and there is .no reason why any one else cannot do the some. Invalids’, even, can do well by it, as it is no ped- dling affair. but a business that is perfectly to- Spectable. Gentlemen and ladies of leisure who would like to learn the business for their their own amusement or pleasure, will find the practice of it a pleasant pastime, and one that thev will take great interest in. On receipt of $1 :1 will Send printed instructions by which any person can readily acquire the'art, andlbeso instructions will also contain every particular ing it on so that it will be bi‘ghlv profitable. he purchaser of the “ printâ€" ed inStructions ” will also be authorized to tench I it to others; and I have sometimes received as I .. high as $200, for teaching it personally to, a single individual. I would state furthci' that. $9.50 or $3.00 will buy every thing that rs ne- cessary to commence the busmoss with, and the articles can be got almost anywhere, molly er country, or, if preferred, 1 can furnish them.
