—A letter from Cracow of the 2d ult., says: " The recruiting amongst the Jews, and the carryin oil‘ for the military schools of Jew- ish chil ren, aged from eight to ten, caused amongst that class of inhabitants in P0- land indescribable terror and desolation. In all the towns and villages near Kielec nothing but weeping and lamentation are to be heard. Mothers tear their hair and beat their heads against the walls, and fathers sacriﬁce their last penny to buy off their sons. Recently an unfortunate man, whose eldest son, though just about to be married, had been carried off, went to the chief town ofthe province to beg that a younger son, who accompanied him, might be taken instead of his brother, but the second son was likewise taken, and the elder was not given up. This gave such a shock to the father, that he was taken ill, and died in three days. The manner in which unfortunate recruits are treated is really cruel. For example those assembled at Kielec were, not long since, in spite of the cold, placed quite naked in rows in the streets to undergo medical inspection!” Another letter ofthe same place, of a later date, says:--“ The recruiting is carried on this year in Poland with greater rigour than in any other part of the empire. The kingdom has furnished 60,000 men, one- fourth of whom died in the hospitals before reaching their destination. ”

Hansauao, Nov. 3.—There is some rea- son to believe that, after all, Russia has accepted the oﬁice of mediator between Denmark and the United States, and pro- posed, as an adjustment of the dilliculties, that Denmark shall cede her island of St. Thomas to the United States for the sum of ﬁve millions of dollars, and total exemption of American ships and cargoes from the future payment of the Sound-dues. Al- though the colony is of no value to Den- mark in a pecuniary point of view, rather, causing an expense than bringing in a surplus, yet Denmark is said to have de- clined the proposal, out of consideration to the Western Powers, to whom such an acquisition of territory on the part of the

mericans, so close to their oivn West Indian possessions, cannot be desirable.

According to a letter from Berlin of the 1st inst., in the Post ./Imp! Gazette of Frank- fort, the Danish government perceives that its project for abolishing the Sound dues on payment of an indemnity equal to their value will encounter insurinountabtle obsta cles; and it therefore proposes to render them less onerous, by allowing comtnercial ships to pay them to the Danish Consuls in the Baltic ports from which they may have to sail, instead of having to stop in the Sound.

A new conscription is ordered for Poland by the Emperor Alexander, independently ofthat for the whole Empire, as appointed in a recent manifesto. The conscription

Fr.owi:a-rors I-‘OR Rooms.-——Fill a pot with coarse tnoss of any kind, in the same manner as it would be ﬁlled with earth, and place a cutting or seed in this moss; it will succeed admirably, especially with plants destined to ornament a drawing-room. In such a situation plants grown in moss will thrive better than in garden mould, and possess the great advantage of not causing dirt by the earth washing out of them when watered. For transportation, plants rooted in moss are said to be better adapted, on account of their lightness. The explanation of the practice seems to be this: that moss rammed into a pot, and subjected to continual watering, is soon brought into a state of decomposition, when it becomes a very pure vegetable mould; and it is well known that very pure vegeta- ble mould is the moot Proper vhf all Iiintbrlills tor the growth ofalmost all kinds of plants. The moss would also not retain more mois- ture than precisely the quantity best adapt- ed to the absorbent powers of the root, a condition which can scarcely be ohtaine with any certainty by the use ofearth.

Scaacrrr or Houses IN Ennorr..—A correspondent of the Spirit of the Times, writing from Paris, under date of May tllst, remarks on the state of the London horse market as follows:——“ Ladies’ saddle horses are not to he had, neither are carriage horses, which will surprise you. In thir- teen days’ search I could not find a decent pair for sale at any price. Ifthis war lasts another year, the Europeans will be import- ing horses from America, and it would be well worth the attention of our farmers and breeders to raise large horses, lit to draw a heavy carriage, or carry a heavy innn, Good saddle-horses for gentlemen are still to be found by paying for them; a first-rnte one stands you 00.” A Utica (New York) paper states that a gentleman is now in that city purchasing saddle and carriage Itorses for the Paris market.—— Wool Grower and Stock Register.

A Srascis on the Union of the Colonies and organization of the Empire, delivered by the lion. Joseph Howe, to which is added a Review by the Hon. Francis Iiincks, of Canada, toge- ther with Mr. Howe’s Letter in reply to Mr. llinek’s Review, Pictou, E. M. M‘Donald, 1855 p. p. 69. ' .

Joseph llowe, whatever may be the opinion ‘entertained by individuals of his merit_ as _a

iolitician, deserves well of these Colonies in general The Speech, which we intend to re- view, in a dillerent. spirit and with a dillerent purpose from that of Mr. llincks, has done more to bring prominently before the British Nation, the political importance ofthe Colonies of North America than any thing that has ever been published in relation to them. The read- ing such books as those of .\lcGregor and Mont- goincry is conﬁned to a certain classs ol' indivi- duals, comparatively few in number, while a brochure like the one in question, especially if, it be the subject of attack, is in every body's, hands, and is likely to produce more discussion ; and consei uently inquir , into the real state oft the Colonies, articular y among member of; both Houses 0 Parliament, than it otherwise‘ would; besides, Clminhers's Journal,—andl whore does it not penetrate-—quotes it on ac-'

Mr. lloive conceived it‘ necessary to his purpose to prove, that in point‘ of territory, population and wealth, lritish North America was entitled to a diﬂbrcnt kind‘ of treatment that she has hitherto been subject- to. and he has accordingly given a synopsis of each, and we give the result to our readers as statistical information of the highest iinpor-_ tancc: whether our readers will join with Mr. Ilowe in his aspirations, is for them to say.

I am not sure, air, that even out ofthis discussion may not arise a spirit of union and elevation of thought that may lead North America to cast aside her Colonial habiliments. to put on national aspect, to assert national claims, and prepare to assume national obligations. Come what may, I do not hesitate to express my hope that, from this, she will aspire to consolidati- on as an integral portion ofthe Realm of England,

or assert her clsinis to a national existence.

The at question, Mr. llowo says, that we men 0 the North must put to ourselves, is-

We quote the following as indicative of his:

As to the Commercial importance, he gives the following account of the Imports and Ex. ports for 1853-

Nova Scotia 970,780 New Brunswick, 1852 796,335 P. l".. Island 249,675 Ncivfounilland 965,772

And if we add to this amount another million

we may take the whole at £9,545,562. Turn again to the statistical return of the United States for 179i, and you will perceive that I6 years after they had declared their indepeiiileiicc-,theirexports amounted to but $19,000,000 or about half the value of ours.
