The Paris correspondent of the Times writes as follows: “The note of the Ameri- can Minister to the Spanish Government, in regard to Cuba, varies both in its tone and conclusions from the diplomatic communi cations between the Spanish Minister at Washington and the Government of the United States. The diplomatic experience of Gen. Sickles is limited, and probably insnflieient to enable him to rightly estimate the value and elTect of his words. Doubtless he is much surprised at the excitement they have crested, and it will .be diffianlt for his Government to approve of them. No pre- text exists for recognising a Cuban insurrec- tion, which does not hold a Single town, or position, and its prolongation is due to the action of the climate on its opponents, and to the facilities afforded to the insurgents in a thinly peopled country. The appointment of Gen. Sickles as Minister to Spain was greatly criticised, and has not yet been sanc- tioned by the Senate. That body will do itself credit by refusing to confirm the ap- pointment of a man who has made so bad a first appearance on diplomacy.” Hallie hehr some explanations from Dr. Allen, who for two hours and upwards, ad- dressed the audience. Incidents of a thril- ling nature were listened to, and letters, telegrams and _other papers were read to the audience, who conducted themselves in a manner worthy the Town of Cornwall. I will just give you one or two of the ideas which Dr. Allen gave, to the full and com- plete satisfaction of all present. The speech was one of the ablest ever delivered in Corn. wall. few people believing Dr. Allen had such an eloquent manner of addressing so vast an assemblage. He said, after giving some black cloths their deserts, Gentlenien. few of you would believe in this christian age that I would be allowed to address you on the Lord‘s blessed day, and you all know how reluctant I was this morning to acqui esce in your wishes, and it pains me very much indeed (here he had to stop to wipe his tears) to 'be forced to speak of my pri- vate family matters, but from the telegrams and letters, together with the pile of affida- vits which I have read to you, you can see for yourselves how I am persecuted, and by whom I am pcrsccuted~~by my own rela- tions. Ah, gentlemen, little do you know how I have been pcrsccutcd for this last 14 ears. Why did not the Judge tell the pub- ic how many times these very affidavits were repeated and sworn to in order to make up the 60, some 4, some 3, some 2, and some 1 ; in all about 20 pcrs us. while my friends” affidavits were excluded. You, the doctors and merchants of this town would not be believed. Ah, you know why. But gentlemen, Mrs. Allen leaving my home is nothing new to me. The first time my un- fortunate wife left my home, she was in- duced by her friends to take away, to Toron- to, my only darlng son. and after two weeks she returned the body of my son to me. a corpse. Ah, gcntlemen, did she, like a fond mother, come with it ‘t No. You, can, some of you at heart, testify to this. Now, gentlemen, this was bad enough, but I was a stranger here then, and had no such friends as I have today to escort me from the river, bntI will tell you what treatment 1 met with. I went to the boat to carry home the little corpse, and while I was coming up home, these very friends who are persecuting me today, met toe-face to face with the little corpse in my arms and grinned in my face. Ah. gentlemen. (this brought tears into the cycs ot' the audience) you know how I have been persecuted, and why? because I would not got drunk, squander my means, and be their willing too‘s, to do their d' ‘t Work. When 1 would not do this, then“) will make you do it, or else persecution, persecution l A letter from 3. Madrid correspondent to the Standard says, Gen. Sickles, in his note, intimates that the Government at Washing- ton might,'_under the force of public opinion, be compelled to recognise the Cuban insur- gents. He reminds the Spanish Government of the good faith which the United States have hitherto preserved of their respect for international law, and of their unwillingness to embarrass Spain. Altogether, the note is not of an alarming nature ; but reticence of the Government allowing people to re- main in ignorance of its contents justifies the violent articles which have appeared in the Spanish papers for the past few days. An immense concourse of people assem- bled at the Cornwall River Wharf on Sun- day laSt, in order to escort the Mayor up to his residence (Sunday being the only day for the present that Dr. Allen could, with safety avoid the warrant in the hands of the Sher- ifl“, as no arrest. can be made on that day accordmg to law) and afterwards over one people memblwiw..$§§u The Pall Mall Gazette reviews the idea. of the Chinese policy put forth by Mr. Browne, late American Minister to China. It says the sum of his argument is the open- ing of new markets to Christian traders. In point. of fact, there is nothing to show that the difficulties between foreigners and the Chinese are merely questions ofinterpretion. A truer account would be that the former forced the Chinese to grant privileges which the latter, not daring to withdraw, seek to evade. The extortion of such privi- leges is a. mistake. Tl" our intercourse with China is to be no better than a series of little wars, we must be content to measure the right to trade with China by her willing- ness to trade with us. PILES.â€"Use Dr. J.

For our part, we do not pretend to account for it, nor is it our province to do so; but simply call the attention of the ratepayers of Vaughan to the fact that the assessed value of property in the Township is less, now, than it has been for any one of the last six years, and is $72,03l less in 1868, than it Was in 1862. But this is not the most singular feature of our Township assessment: the remarkable part of the business is, that there are 777 acres less on the assessment roll than there should be. The Town- ship of' Vaughan contains 68,000 acres, yet in no two years is the number of acres assessed at near that quantity; in 1862 and ’63 there are deficiencies; in 1864 there are 569 acres more assessed than are actually in the government sur- vey ; in 1805 the excess is whittled down to 254 acres. In 1866 there is a defi- ciency of 820 acres; next year it is re: duced to 271, and in 1868 it rises again to 7 77. These are some of the anoma- lies in our municipal economy, that are deserving,r of the thoughtful considera- tion of our Township authorities. closing. N.B.

The necessity for this suggestion has frequentlyoecurred to us on looking over and comparing the various statistics of the County, as conâ€" tained in the yearly statements published hy the council.

McDonald, as Finance Min- ister. When the astounding announce- ment was made, the Globe appeared to be petrified at the “audacity” of his old antagonist returning to the scene of his former political successes. Our good- natured friend of the Leader adjusted his spectacles, and affected a calm, digni- fied reticenec as to what was to come of it all. The Globe waxed more wrathy; the Leader put on indignation, and the naughty Telegraph kept piling on the agony, until all three appear to agree upon one factâ€"that the Telegraph was correct in its statement as regards the offer of the Finance Portfolio to Sir Francis Hincks. We trust that Sir John A. will do his utmost to secure the ser- vices of Sir Francis ; he is the cleverest financier we ever had, and is just the man for the emergency.

Some have worked thereâ€"aspiring to be Ministers of the Gospel; some to join in the mercantile business of our country; while others have sought after the hand of an heiress and obtained the object of their aspiration. But aspirants have not ceased coming yet, as the following will show: a discussion arose among a party of workmen, as to how he would act if he were made king. Some, by their arguments, showed they would make cruel tyrants; while others seemed disposed to show fair play. There was one personage among them, which, with more earnestness than nonsense in his face, attracted my attention : says he, “Look here, gentlemen, if I were king, my ambi- tion would extend thus far, to have the power of banishing all hens from my kingdom; for if I were to see any of my subjects hens picking another’s Tomatoes; I would con- sider itfowl play, and banish them accor- dingly.

Addresses will be delivered by several emi- nent Ministers of the Gospel. ’lickets 25 cents ; children not belonging to School, 15 cents. .A WRITER in the Times. who has, at all ‘ events, studied the statistics of the question, states his belief, founded on experiments,that the wheat yield this year will be about the average, that is, 27 bushels to the acre all round, good and bad land included. L'ast year there were 3,700,000 acres under wheat, and if the quantity has not been greatly al- tered the yield of the year will be 12,487,- i 000 quarters. The people, however, require 15% bushels a head a year, and as their num- ,“berwill this year be 31,000,000, they will ‘want 21% million quarters. Add to this 1,000,000 quarters for seed, at 22‘; bushels to the acre, and we shall want 9% million quar- ters from abroad, costing us at the very least £19,000,000, and more probably £21,500,- 000. In fact we buy half the corn we eat, and as population increases, while land is ,limited, the proportion will become greater.

In 1855 he purchased two lots of the Portarlington estate. The rental of the lands was £305 ; they were held "by tenants-atâ€"will, who formed a lazy, and beggarly population,” and the rents were in ordinary seasons in arrear, Mr. Bianconi increased the rental to £473; but he gave the occupiers leases for 31 years, and the re- sult has been that, without the expenditure of a shilling upon the part of the landlord, except in the repair of farmsteads, the high- er rent has always been paid, “and the ten- l antry are now a contented yeomanry.” This seems astonishing; but, after all, only illustrates the truth that security is the first condition of social progress ; that, as Arthur Young remarked 93 years ago, “the having leases creates industry in Ireland; and that, give him a fair field and a certain title, the: Irish tenant can accomplish wonders.” Mr Bianconi thinks that the land question would have never arisen had the Irish landlords improved their estates wholly at their own cost, and been liberal in giving leases.

LADY Palmerston, widow of the late Lord Palmerston, died on Sept. 11th, aged 83. She was the daughter of the Hon. William Lamb, the first Lord Melbourne,.sister of the second Lord Melbourne, the celebrated Whig and Reform Premier who died in 1848; and she was twice married, first to Earl Cowper and afterwards to Lord Palmerston in 1839. By her first marriage, she had several chil~ dren, the eldest of whom, Earl Cowper, claims the Barony of Dingwall, in the peer- age of Scotland. There was no issue by her second marriage. THREATENING Dunnâ€"I never have heard a. more striking instance of strong men “dying. hard” than one that is given in last night’s papers. A well known wrestler and athlete of Avignon, hearing the illustrious name of Meissonnier. caught, a few weeks ago, his death illness by carryinga little girl across aswollen ford, which she was obliged to traverse in order to take to her father his dinner. Thlsmwerformed ln the the child,wa an utter stranger: trembling and wepping on the brink, said to her, ” Take heart, little one, I’ll serve as a ferry for you." Swinging her on his shoul- der, he carried her over. On returning to the side whence he started,he slipped,and was thoroughly submerged. A cold, which led to a virulent fever, was the result As his end approached, Meissonnier literally strug- gled with the malady,and his last words were, “ 011.

Finaâ€"Between 9 and 10 o’clock on Tues day morning, a fire broke out on anley st, owned by Mr. James Finnigan and tenanted by his father iii-law, Mr. Robertson. Suffi~ cient time elapsed before the engines arrived to permit of the total destruction of the building and the one adjoining it, which was also the property of‘ Mr. Finnigan, and occu- pied by one Mrs. Kingston, whose husband is at present in gaol for assaulting and rob- hing Robertson. The cottages had been bought by Mr. Finnigan, from Mr. James Moti'att. to whom he still owes a considerable balance on the purchase, pending the pay- ment of which Mr. Moffatt held a policy for $400 upon the houses in the Western In- surance Company, which, we are informed, is the only insurance-0n the buildings or furâ€" niture. Mrs. Kingston. who is known to the police as a violent and disorderly char- acter, was arrested upon suspicion of having fired the premises ; but she alleges that the fire must have originated from an adjoining hay-rick, which was set fire to last night and quietly extinguished. The matter will no doubt be thoroughly investigated, Mrs. King. ston being lodged in N0. 3 Police Station in the meantime. Flour. fiburrel............. $4 60 @ 4 70 Wheat.
