OUR NEXT WAR.

(Frost tlis Em-opaos Tism.) Alexander the Great of Macedon, having overrun Persia, was driven back when he attempted to add India to his list of con- quered nations. for Alexander the Little—Emperor of Rus- sia? There are prophets who tell us so. While on our travels, in¢t«'ie course of the past week, we had the hmvfir and pleasure of enjoying a couple of, rs’ interesting“ conversation with a ge _ral ofiicer, who has not only achieved an European reputa- tion as one of the bravest of the brave, but who has, during his long service, fought and bled in many a battle on the soil of our Eastern empire. As topic after topic came under discussion, we asked him, if the opin- ion in his circle was that we should have a long peace. “ Decidedly not,” was his short and emphatic reply. "With whom are we like.'_\. so soon to go to war?” we in- quired in some degree of astonishment. “ With Russia again,” was the rejoinder. " On what field, and why?” “ In the East, and for our own dominions.” " Are you, then, one of those who believe that the Russians will attack us in India?” “ No: we shall attack them. They are interfer- ing and will interfere more in the afliiirs of Persia. Presently they will enter that country in force. We shall not allow it. We shall order them out, and, if they do not go, we shall drive them out.” This was certainly a View sharp, short, and de- cisive view of the case. But we were as- sured, upon fur er conversation, that it was the accepted-and assured opinion, not only of military circles, but of all circles in Indian society, and the consummation is re- garded as about to take place at a very early period,‘ and, moreover, is looked ut without the smallest anxiety or alarm by all classes of our Eastern population, contempt for Russian prowess being the universal feeling. \Ve must, therefore, be watchful and vigilant, that these suspicious Cossacks may gain no advantage over us nearer England. Our forefathers used to say that, however matters were arranged at home, there.was no peace with the Spaniards be- end the line. But things are not so now. ar in the East means war in the \Vest also. There cannot be fighting on the Indus and peace in the Baltic. \Vhen the shouts of contending armies are heard bee neath the walls of lspahan or Shirnnz, the echo will reach St. Petersburg itself. Our rulers must, therefore, keep a wakeful and wary eye upon the northern as well as the southern extremity of Russia. \Ve may depend upon it, that we have an enemy there who will strike the very moment it is known that we are off our guard. But to be forewarned is to be forearmed. VVhat- ever onr Indian prophets may foretell, every Russian movement in that direction will be measured by our strength at home. Our safety there is to be settled here.

THE MAP OF EUROPE.

Considering that peace has just been‘

made, and that sweet words and ginger- bread phrases, and “ sugar and spice and all tliat’s nice," are just new the current coin of conventionalism and compliment be- tween the high and mi hty pofentate pf Europe, we are startle at the immtmse amount of the jarring elements of discord which may be discovered if we journey thoughtfully and observingly over its ma . If we begin with Russia, she is apparent y occupied in crowning her Emperor, but, inwardly, is doubtless dreaming of and in- ’ uing for revenge. Even in the midst of .all the oriental and barbaric show and pa- gesntry of the display at Moscow, her most anxious wish seems to be to sow the seeds of discord between the representatives of France and England. Prussia is but the .|IOlIlIO of the Czar. Her monarch, more ‘gone, it may be, to cite ' than easi- ‘ ' , must at obey is northern mas- gq-. But discontent is rife in Prussia as . wall as all the other lesser States of mis- ‘gym-«nod and oppressed Germany. {he sabre, the bayonet, and the stick are at not in the ascendent.

The tran- quillit of rance hangs upon a single life, and spoleon the Third is said and suppos- ed not to be in the best of health. Besides, he has many enemies who would think no more of taking his life than of sweeping a beetle or a wasp from their patlg He has been our ally against Russia, and we for- get, having nothing to forgive, all else in that one act of friendship. But the French have not forgotten, and they will never for- give, the blood shed on the steps by which be mounted to the throne. At this moment that throne may he mined, the train laid, and the match ready to apply. Nothing beyond the resent is ever certain in France. And is Po and satisfied? and is Hungary pacified and willing to be the oppressed vassnl of, instead ofthe sister-kingdom with Austria, a province instead of kingdom? And come we to Italy. An not her own Vesuvius the type and representative of her disturbed state at this very time? And what will its next eruption produce ? A mere puff of smoke, a passing shower of ashes and cinders, or a flood of burning lava which shall destroy and overwhelm all before it, as of old it swept over Her- culaneum and Pompeii, and they were not? Who can tell? The experiments upon hu- man patience must almost have reached their limits in Naples The cry against Austria, the secret assassin of unarmed tra- vellers, is loud and fierce, from one extre- mity of the Peninsula to the other. The French soldiers keep the peace in unhappy Rome. The Croats are swarming on the confines of Piedmont, whose free institu- tions give otfence and excite alarm among the blind statesmen of Vienna. The wolves are only restrained from attacking their prey by the wholesome fear of the sheep- dogs. War would be declared to-morrow by Austria against the King of Sardinia, if he had not the sympathies of France and England with him. Ifit were known that he would receive no active nssistanéroin either of those countries, he would be at- tacked at once But in any circumstances the game ofirritation and counter-irritation cannot be played much longs; without pro- ducing its results. In the meanwhile, the Austrians are trying what may turn out a very dangerous policy for themselves, if they persevere in it; for, of course, we now conclude that what we called the Maazini conspiracies, for all sorts ofthings impossi- ble and impracticable are got up and done to order by their agents and emissiiries. They explode so opportuncly, and are so contrived to bring the democratic party into contempt, that they can only be framed in one quarter and for one purpose. ' Such is the state of pacified Europe this very moment, but for how long? e may have bonfires and fireworks enou , and more than enough yet, without waiting for the Fillh of November to see them. At all events, it cannot be very long before re- tribution and despotism meet face to face to settle their account—and it is not a small one. AUSTRALIA. ,

An article in the Essmiser of the 22d Sept. instant shows, that my little friend Whelan is still as anxious as ever to let his readers see how very unconcerned he is about my libel suit. Did on ever see a man, Mr. Editor, take so muc pains to persuade people how very easy his mind is about the dangers in store for him? I have no doubt, that it is the public interest alone that he is seckin to protect, and not by an means to disguise is own innocent coa- dil oes. or to divert public curiosity from being satisfied about the value given to the country for his £900 a-year. Now, without writin ironically. I wonder for m part, that heshoul have any fear at all. Loo ing at the estima- tion in which he holds the crime of per'ury,— and the power he has of nominating ‘s own Jury; why should he show any anxist about t e matter? Poor man! What a loa of care his little body and mind have to endure for the

ublic good ! Poor soul ! Should you fall in with him, Mr. Editor, pleaai to say, that I duly appreciate his additional encomiums on in c aractcr, as published for the month of Se tember, and hope he will have something a lit- tle more spicy or the October number. m sorry I am not at liberty to disclose to him, all the particulars of my case until the day of trial, which I assure him will come round in due time, if he and I live. In the meantime, for the purpose of relieving his mind from the excess of philanthropy with which it is at pre- sent cncumbcred, I would an at to him, the nectchssity of writing some w ly articles, such as e :-

“ An Inquiry into the enormity of the crime of Perjury, and the dangerous consequences to

ciety when its punishment is evaded.”

“ The evil effects of Intempcrsnce on the [In- man hIind,—particularly in drinking-—are ex- tensive to the gentler sex.—-And the direful consequences of delirium trenrss to an Editor of a paper especially."

“ Female Virtuc.—Its incstimable value to Society during the present age-as well as the -‘ crying evils " abroad, for the want of some efiicient Bastardy Laws."

The city weighing machine was yesterday lot at public auction to the hi hest bidder and the purchaser was Mr. Danie Bethune, who had itknocked down to him ata rentof £11 for the ensuing year—ln efi'ect the lessee will pay only £6 for it for by being the city wci her he escapes the payment of the duty of 1' ; ' care and attention he ought to make a very good thing of it and we hope he will.

It is becoming, and very proper , the custom to purchase every thing by wei t in prefor- sncs to measure and we trust to see the custom increase. There is no reason why we should not purchase wheat, oats and all sorts of grain as wall as potatoes, turnips, carrots, rsnips, aifl all sorts of roots by weight, an there is sills reason why it should be so. Go into the lliar stand see one man measuro potatoes. he will heap his measure honestly, look at another and he will use every artifice to give as little as possible ; the sinking of the spies prevents all this, the most ignorant cannot.he deceived, and to lessen the saibiiity a sworn weighcr who can have no interest either way inter - sea for the protection of both parties.

of serving apprenticeships. Theory, without notice, is we all know, of little worth, but oth combined, aid and assist each other. Every a produces one or other of those aids to men of usiness, which greatly facilitate his commer- cial or other transactions. The little book on our table is one of them, and one of the most surprising, it contains more varied and useful information within its covers, than most books three, four or five times its size. There are maps of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, showing the extent of each county, in square miles, acres and population,—a map of Euro 0 with all the lines o telegraph,—a map of t e 'nited States of America, and a chart of the route of the Steamers from England to China. —'l‘ablcs of all kinds and descri tions, from a ready-reckoner, which gives t. a price of a pound or a ton at from s farthin to n shilling, with the intermediate frsctionaf parts.

QUEEN'S coon-rr CA'l'l‘LE snow.

The above Show was held on Wednesday last the 24th instant, in front of the Royal Agricul- tural Society's premises, Queen Square, Char- lottetown. The early part of the day bein fine, an immense number of people congregated from all rts of the country, many of them bringing Stock for exhibition, of a very supe- rior description, svidently showing, that there is a spirit of emulation springing up among country farmers, who now be in to see the ad- vantage of breeding improve Stock, not only as a means of putting money into their pockets, but of enabling them to compete with amateur farmers. would wish to impress upon all Tnsucccssful coin etitors, the necessity of re- newed efforts, so the folly of becoming dis- couraged b one defeat, rather let that efeat be a stimu us to renewed exertion. Well bred animals of all kinds are now readily obtained. and what matters it, should a farmer be obliged to give three or live pounds for a Bull Calf, when, in all probability, the Stock of that Bull may be wort 50 per cent. more than the un- improved. The same with Shoe ; inany far- mers grumble at the hardship of avin to give Three pounds for a Leicester Ram ! h , the extra weight of wool from his Stock the first year, will, even with a farmer who has a small flock, repay him. I am aware, that even £3 is a large sum in the eyes of a poor man, strug- glin to pay five pounds a year of rent, but I would as to those men, who have only a few Ewes each, or a few Milch Cows,—lct a num- ber of you join to ether, and buy good male animals, even shou it they be obliged to give twice three pounds. In breeding. one thing, however, must be remembered, for, let the Stock be ever so good, unless they are null fed, and]: iosrvnwlisn young, the result will be disappointment. Establish a good constitution by putting the young animals well over the tint year, and the improved Stock will be as easily wintered as the common run of ccuntr cattle. As evidence of this, I need only mention. that the two large, short-horn, white Cows exhibited by the Agricultural Society on Wednesday last, had nothing during the winter and s ring until the month ofJunc, but f ofa bushc of turnips each or day, and soft upland hay, and the were t. for the butcher durin the whole pcrio . .
