now paid the government as duties on impor- tations from the Island. The giving, or en- dorsement of bonds for the amount in case of sale, seems to us much the most feasible way of acquiring the Island. These could be readily negotiated abroad, and would be ulti- mately redeemed without any derangement of our finances. The suggestions that Spain should declare the independence of Cuba in return for a certain amount in bonds endursed by this country, does not appear likely to be an event of the immediate future. It seems more probable that Spain would prefer a short war with the United States, as a consequence

of the latter granting to Cuba belligerent rights, which may be done by Congress at its approaching session, to submitting ignomini- ously to an ordinary bargain and sale. The pride of the Spaniards is something extraor- dinary, and, although the best disppsition o

the Island, so far as they are conterned, is undoubtedly a sale to this country, we may rest assured that the Spanish government will resort to every subterfuge to prevent the trans- fer assuming the character of an ordinary bus- iness transaction. TLis feeling on the part of the Spaniards is also a difficulty in the way of vur acquisition of Cuba, and this phase of the national character should certainly be con- sidered in auy negotiations that may be enter- ed into.

THE EUROPEAN HARVESTS,

The news from Europe concerning the re. sult of the wheat harvests is interesting and tavorable to the Ameriean farmer, Nowhere has the yield of wheat during the present year been an extraordinary one, while in many sections it has fallen below the average. This is the case in England, both in the yield per acre and the quality of the produce itseif, al- thongh the variability in both respects is very great. Thus it is probable that, in view of the present unsatisfactory condition of the English labor market and manufacturing industries, if factors part with their produce now at low rates, they will be compelled to buy in again ut higher figures before the close of the seascn. The amount of wheat afloat at pres- ent for the United Kingdom, is abcut the same as ut the corresponding period last year, and the reports of the deficient harvests will be sure to add to the quantity. As an offset to the deficiency in the amount of wheat grown, that of the coarser cereals and root crops appears to have the effect of limiting the im- portation of coarse stuffs for stock purposes

Not only in England but in Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Hungary, Poland. Southeru Russix, along the Danube, on the Shores of the Black Sea, and in Turkey, has the yield of wheat fallen below reasonable ex- pectations. Spain is stated to be in the same category, and Jtaly has doubts whether she witl not have to import largely of fureizn grein.

‘also drawn attention to the fact that, although eount :

the wheat harvest of 1863 was an average one,

‘the import of grain into France was greater {that year than in 1867, when the harvest was |had. This, ot course, indicates that at the |eommencement of 1867 there were liberal istocks to draw from, which had largely de- ‘ereased before the beginning of 1868. The ‘decrease of supplies drawn from Frange by england during the latter year, may have aided in produeing the effect. With England again needing breadstuffs, and no large stocks ito draw from last year, it looks as though | France would have to import wheat largely ‘this autumn, uuless the yield should be an ex- | traordinary one.

Thus we conclude that Europe will buy ex- tensively of our surplus yield of grain during the coming year. During that which ended with August, we exported, including flour, twenty-two millions of bushels of wheat — an inerease of fifty-three per cent. over the pre- ceding twelve-months. For the current year it would not be astonishing were the returns to show a similar gain At all eventS a large surplus can be spared, although our own corn crop will prove, in many sections, south and west, a noor one. Still, it should be remem- bered that Europe has other sources fer her supply of grain than the United States, and if prices are forced beyond a certain limit the foreign demand will not respond. There is danger that the stocks may be held too long, and the right moment lost through too great avidity in procuring the highest rates. What the money centres on this side the Atlantic need, is that the grain crops should be moved promptly forward, Such a movement would inspire our capitalists with confideree by mak- ing money easy and place the credit balance on the right side of the international ledger. — Albion.

SIR WM. YOUNG IN YARMOUTH.

We learn from the Yarmoth Hera/d, that at the opening of the Supreme Court in Yar- month recently, his Lordship the Chief Justice addressed the Grand Jury at considerable length. After adverting to the criminal business which would be submitted to them, he proceeded to comment on questions of a more public and general character—particu- lariy those of railways and manufactures. He expiated on the importance and valae of railways to a country. spoke of the benefit this province had already derived trom them, referred to the support he had given to the railway policy of a former period, and ex- pressed his satisfaction at the great change of sen‘iment which, he alleged, had taken place in Yarmouth on the subject. He mentioned the extent of railways which had been con- structed as Government works, and explained the way in which the Windsor and Annapolis Railroad had been built by a company subsidised by the Government. He believed that the enterprising County of Yarmouth would not be content long to remain behind those parts of the Province which enjoyed the advanteges of direct railway communication. He did not think Yarmouth need expect any aid fron the Dominion Government towards the object. The Dominion could not be ex- peeted to do for Yarmouth what it would not do for those counties east of Pictou,and those sections of New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec, which were without railroads, and he considered that Cape Breton bad st:onger claims than even Yarmouth. The Local Legislature was not in a position to extend the railroads, and he eaw no other way of ob taining the extension of the railroad to Yarmouth, than for ber own capitalists to take the matter in hand, and furnizh the necessary funds to build the road. which he bad no noubt they would do ere long.

His Lordship then referred to a movement which had been begun elsewhere for the es- tablishment and encouragement of maun- facturing establishments in Nova Scotia. He spoke of the great natural facilities and re- sources possessed by Nova Scotia as a manu- facturing country, and of the importance of developing them to the utmost extent He eulogized in glowing terms the intelligence and energy of tho State of Massachussetts, and referred to the wealth and prosperity which she had acquirec by her manufacturing enterpriss. Nova Scotia possessed greater natural facilities and acvantages as a manu- facturing country than any other section of the Dominion, or any State of the American Union. She had now a market of four millions population to open her manufacture, and his Lordship expressed his belief that Nova Scotia was destined ere long to become the principal manufacturing section of the Dominion.’’—Hz.

A Deap Catw —Her Majesty's frizate Topaze, which has just reached England from the Pacific, got into a dead calm on the 7th of August, in latitude 42 45 N , longitude 28 20 W., a little northward and westward of the Azores. The calm was one of those great stillnesses of the sea which are rarely witnessed in any zone, and certainly nct with especial frequency near the Western Isles— at least for anything like the length of time during which the hush of the elements on the present occasion appears to have continued At sunset on that day no fewer than 62 vessels were al! lying asleep upon the sleep- ing waters, not a breath of wird roffling the glazed roll of the ocean, the eplash of every flying fish an event, the fallicg overboard of a beef bone acommotion. One of the vessels, the Agra had been locked in a trance of na- ture tor 74 days, and the frigate had to supply her with provisions, so that the calm must have lasted a long while before the Topaze drifted into it. Sixty two sail visible from the masthead at once on the wide Atlantic, and not one with a puff to blow the vane ribbon straight! It cannot but have been a cur ous picture, and the breeze must have been welcome, for “dead calms ”’ are good neither on sea nor land. Better half gale than glassy swelter.

A Faruer Sacririces Hts Son’s Lire To Save a Passencer Train.—The New York Star records a notable instance of fidelity to duty on the part of a bridgewan named Decker,on the Neward and New Jersey Railroad. One morn- ing lately, Decker, as usual, was employed upon the bridge, acecompavied by his sun, a lad of ten years. Some vessels requiring to go up the stream the bridge was opened by Decker and the boats permitted te pasa through. There was not much time to spare in closing the bridge. a train being due there in afew minutes Slow- iy the bridge turned on its table, and when within a few yards of its proper position, Decker heard the shrill whistle of the locomotive on its way to the Jersey depot. At almost the same moment he heard a cry for help coming from beneath the bridge,aud un looking dowa into the water he ob- served with horror, that his son had fallen into the river aud was struggling for hfe. He could have easily jumped down into the water and saved his boy, but the train was coming on at a rapid pace and the bridge was still open, and te save his son was to insure the destruction of the train. Parental love is strong, and it was strong in Decker; the first impulse of the father was to leave the train to its fate and save the boy. but the devotion to duty overcame parental affection, and he instantly determined to save the train by closing the bridge. ‘The draw wae arranged with all the epeed possible, and then Decker rushed to the assistance of bis child, but it was too late, fur the boy had sunk to be seen no more alive. He obtained assistance and in a few minutes recovered the body of the poor little one Great indeed was the father’s grief, although be did not regret the decesion that ended bis son’s life. This is an event aimost without a parallel, and seems quite as improbable as are wany of the scences described in the yellow covered literature of the day. There are few Deckers in the world.

Since the memorable raid of Marshal Barlow on Gardiner’t Island, and the capture and dis- persion of Colonel Ryan's — of liberation, Cuban movements have languished in this city; but although pet openly active, the leaders have by no means deen idle, and it is from thie city that most of the sinews of war have gone in order io fit ost the expeditions from other pointe Thus aided, the steamer ** Lilian” has been got afloat from New Orleans and the * Hornet” from Philadelphia.

THE “ HORNET.”

The latter vessel, after a thorough overhauling in Halifax, was declared all right and permi to leave this port, Since then nothing has been beard of her movements until Wednesday last, when information reached headquarters in this city that she was off this port short of coal, and on the afterneon of that day a schooner cuntain- ing 250 tone of that necessary article was dis- patched to ber. It is probable that she wanted other articles besides coal, as one of the fastest tug boats in that port was at once chartered and lay with steam up all night at Fulton Market Shp, all ready to start at a moments warning. Owing to some unexplained bitch in the arrange- ments, the party or material waited fur did not come, and, after waiting until 10 o’clock yester- day morning, the tug was discharged and pro- ceeded down to Sandy Hook on her legitimate business,

MER ARMAMENT.

The Hornet” isa fine propellor ef about two thousand tons burthen, and is pierced for Is guns, but as reported she has not that number at present mounted, as she is not intended to do any fighting, her abject being to capture and destroy unarmed merchantmen, as did the rebel crusiers during the late war, Iler present armament is represented to be two thirty pound parrot rifles, aod one nine-inch gun on each side, with another thirty parrot on a pivot on the forecastle. Her captain acd officers are all American, and saw service during the rebellion. Her crew, when fally manved, will consist of seventy-five inen, but at present she is said to have but thirty, and jt is altogether probable that the freight destined for the tug-poat before alluded to, was the balance of the crew and perbaps some ammunition,

As she was reported to be only about 56 miles from this city, up the sound, it is possible that the needful material was conveyed to ber by sume means jess likely to create suspicion than a special tug would have done, and that ere this she has received it, and is out upon the high seas ready to begin her work of devastatiun and plunder. It will be recollected that under date of September 18, from Boston, the telegraph con veyed intelligence to this city of an immense iron-clad steamer seen off Gay Head; it is alto- gether probable that the steamer off this port on Wednesday last and the one seen off Gay Head on the 18th is one and the same vessel. ‘That report stated the size of the vessel to be 5,000 tons, and that she had 18 guns; but is likely that the Boston reporter was mistaken as tu the size of the vessel; while the number of guns is just what this vessel would carry were she fully arm- ed. Weshall probably soon hear of some of her exploita, and it is possible she may yet be- oaps as famous asthe world-renowned * Ala- ama.

To Tue Epiror or THE EXAMINER. Dear Sir,

ld it be indulging in too bold a flight of maa te pietnre ale the brace of _— Fathers, whos special province it is to see to it that the Charlottetown night carte are duly de- livering their daily tale of filth into that highly- favored, well-chosen spot of ground oo the Spring Park Road, permitting themselves, waiving, 19 their zeal for the public health, their individual and private tastes, occupations, babits, nation- alities, interests and what nots, d&c., to be perch- ed on the roof of a new barn contigious tu the accumulated and accumulating beastliness, with

tted | their faces windward, if a gentle nor-easter be

blowing, in order to arrive, by ocular demonstra- tion and nasal proof, to a positive conviction that ** Union is Strength.” If the tidal wave is true to time, or somewhere wear it, they might on next Tuesday morning, from their high position —free from danger, free from fear—indulge in appropriate little songs of their own compueing, inbaling their inspiration from a purely united Irish and Scotch svurce, If so it might be, I promise to be to windward in a boat, if the flood cones along, or weather holding fair oa terra firma, conditionally always on my surviving till the 5th inst., the effects of the disgusting stench those worthies are causing to be made under the noses of inoffeasive travellers on H M’s. highway. Till the storm comes and passes, anyway,

Rev, A. MACLEAN, Rev, T. Duncan, J. F. Brine, M. D. —_——se oe --——— To THE EpiToR oF THE EXAMINER. Sir,

In the last Herald I observed a paragraph stating that by the next English Mail Sir Robert Hodgson would receive the appointment of Govy- ernor of this Island, and that Hon. E. Palmer would be appvinted Chief Justice. I would like to know what claim Mr. Palmer has on the present party in power, that in the event of Sir Robert Hodgaon being appointed Governor, that be should reecive, at their hands,the appointment of Chief Justice of this Island. Is there no other gentleman in this Island “whose claim to that office is as good as Mr. Palmer's, or is it the practice of the present party to exclude those who have fought their battles and helped to place them in power, and have the offices filled by men who have opposed every measure of re- form that has ever been passed in thie Colony 7 If we are to have another Chief Justice, it is to be hoped he will not be a land proprietor. This Is- land has been agitated quite long enough by land proprietors, without having one placed on the bench as Chief Justice. I should like to know how the Editor of the Herald became ac- quaiuted with the intentions of the Government, or on what ground did he make the assertion that Mr. Palmer would be appointed Chief Justice ? If Sir Robert Hodgson is appointed Governor, then, according to British right, the only one who would have a just claim to the office of Chief Justice, would be the gentleman who now holds the office of Attorney General, and who, I presume, would be quite as able to fill it as Mr. Palmer.
