BIIIIAL IITIILIGIICI. ‘IPPETB OF THE WAR ON THU ENGLISH UARKEP8.

Onthe 18th ult., Earl Carlisle.'in the House of Lords asserted, that Russian pro-

duce continues to ﬂow almost as freely as "I

uver_‘tnto England, the only dilfsrence being that it is conveyed is land over the Rus- aian frontiers to the russian ports, instead of being directly shi ped at the ports of the gulf of Finland an of Riga. Two-thirds of the_ produce that passes in this way goes to Bflillh ports, and it is almost entirely by British capital, that the trade is carried on. ‘More than ten millions of pounds sterling, mgold and silver, went into Russia from Great Britain, in the first year of the war, for goods to be received. _ The three great products of Russia, leav- sng wheat out of the question, are hemp, ﬂex, and tallow. It is a curious fact, that rest reductions in price have taken place in each of these articles since the com- mencemcnt of the war. Hemp which was then wortlg.'€70 per ton, has fallen to £50; ﬂax which was £52 per too, has fallen to £37, and tallcw has declined from £70 to £48 In fact, the export trade in flax, hemp, tallow, &c., (the export of grain had been prohibited by the Emperor himself) has kept up a flow of gold into Russia, that has nearly sustained the exchangeable value of the rouble, s 8d, at the credit point, even to the present time; and the Russian rouhle now_ hears about the same proportion to public credit, as the present price ofEnglish consols to the English par standard.

England cannot revoke the concession made, for the obvious reason that France refuses her assent. It has been proposed in Parliament, however, as a sort of experi- ment having the probability of success in its favor, that “all produce shall be excluded from England, which is not certified to be of non-Russian origin. The proposition met with very little favor-—it being generally agreed that such certiﬁcates would be forged without scruple, or the requirement in some other way evaded.”

Out of doors the plan is not generally approved, it being objected that, “ England has had practical experience in this line in the practical defeat of her law excluding slave-grown sugar, by a system of false affi- davits.” And the attempt to indentify non- Russian goods by means ofa ‘ certificate of origin,’ is laughed at as unreliable and ab- surd altogether. '

Objection is also made to the imposition of differential duties’—hut the principle of free trade has too strongly rooted itself in the English mind to admit ofa resort to any such system. Besides, it is argued, the same difficulty of identifying the goods sub- ject to such duties would attach as in the other case, for shipments would in like manner he made from neutral ports. It is impossible to break up this indirect trade. It is found so, even in regard to material necessary for war The statement is made by the London “Times,” _that in conse- quence of the prohibition of the export of oaltpetre from Great Britain to the North of Europe, large quantities ofthat article have been sent from England to the United States, for the mere purpose of being ex- ported from the United States to Hamburg and Rotterdam.

The sum of the matter is, that without declaring war against Prussia, hazarding disruption of her alliance with France, and a conflict with the United States, England cannot help herself in the premises.

And thus it ought not to create astonish- ment, that Lord Palmerston should promise no change in the present system ; or that the resolution of the Earl Albemarle, in’ the House of Lords, that “it is necessary to restrict the trade with Rtissia by more cili- cient measures than any which have hither- to been adopted or announced by Her Ma-

j‘:ty’s Government” should have been de-

We are getting up shot and shell in great quantities. We are within a stone’s throw of the enemy’s works. scarcely a night elapscs, but we have some men either killed or wounded. Last night some of our men had narrow escapes. Sotne had their lirr-locks broken. and some had the belts cut oil‘ their breasts, rice. The Russian are certainly good shots and good soldiers. They have forti- ﬁed their position most credltably, and nothing but the dauntless courage of English and French troops can overcome them. On the Qil instant, msny French regime-nts some say 30,000 men) left this and embarked at alaklsvs for Eupatoria, and to-marrow the 3d Zouaves, l’lnfantrin des Marines, and the 22d Regiment, with several others, embark for the ssnie destination. Our Highland regiments and Riﬂes have gone to on secret duty, in order to cut oil‘ the communica- tion from Perelrop. Sir eorge Brown has de- parted on secret serticc. Omer Pasha personally has gone to Eupstoris to give instructions to his men. I know myself what will he the conse- quence of all this. The Russian generals are full ofstrzitsgem. They have made a certain move- ment in anticipation. Of this our geiieruls have got a slight insight, and are endeavouring to foil it ; and by the steps they have taken, I have not the least doubt of their succeeding in doing so. Sebastt-pol is stronger than ever it has been. Some may report this thing and the other about Sebastopol being taken, but rest yourself con. tented, that Sebastopol will not fall, till there be fought ii series of battles between Eupatoria and Halaklava, and then, and ttot till then, will Sebasiopol be effectually destroyed.

‘- On the night of the 2d, the French took two batteries, eight mortars, and eleven pieces of cannon, from the Russians, and occupied these batteries. On the night of the 3d, they cuta covered way from their batteries to communicate with those they had taken. The French say that they took 400 Russian prisoners. and that the enemy had a great number killed and wounded. it wasasanguinary affair, for the French had nearly 600 her: (Is cbmbat in killed and wounded.

It sniusss as sometimes to read in the Examiner and the Advertiser, a long list of the great advanta- ges that the country has derived from the institution

good markets, abundant crops, reciprocity with the United States, and extension of commerce of course, cheap education, and a variety of others, are claimed as the results. Now, though it is perhaps more than doubtful, whether they are entitled to take credit for many of these advantages, we wish they could add with truth to the number, good ronds,and portal and commercial communications greatly facilitated thereby. They will hardly dare, we think, to do this, for the experience of every man who has travelled ten miles out of Charlottetown would aﬁ'ord materials of contradiction, in the shape of facts, that the most sceptical would not venture to call in ques- tion. The rond from Charlottetown to St. Eleanor's,is not only bad, but dangerous, and what is worse, that part of it nearest the town is incompsrably most so, 'l‘hs state of the main post road through the Royalty to Crabh‘s, is infstnously disgraceful to all concerned -—to the Commissioner tinder whose superintendencc it is placed, and to the Government who employ an otiicial so thoroughly unﬁttsd for his task. The mis- fortune is, we do not see any reasonable hopes for amendment is a system that is so radically wrong.

We looked at first with sortie degree of coiilitlence, for a thorough revision of the laws relative to Statute Labor, and we did hope that this remnant of herbs- rity, however necessary or unavoidable in the infant state of a Colony. would have bden done away with, and s tea. either by way of commutation for the

labor on the roads, or on the lands through which

these roads passed. would have been imposed in

lieu. We soon, however, found that the old and

confessedly defective system was not tube abolished,

but on the contrary, its evils extended by multiply-

ing the number of Commissioners. We have still a

hope that something will be done yet. The old say- ing “ when things are at the worst, they are like to mend,” may probably be realised in this case. The road systesi is no longer a party qiuuion. it is a ylggd fact, a crying coil, is downright nuisance. All ranks of men, of both parties, or rather of all parties. cry out and demand a change. Now, that the present Administration have so powerful a majority in both Houses, let them shew,thst they are reformers in real earnest. We do not ask them to mend their own ways—we have long since given up meddling with those-—but we do denisnd of them in the uanie of the public, to mend the public ways, the highways-—the bye-ways must take their chance. Talk of improving and of extending the facilities for commerce—how can it better be effected, than by making internal communications by means of roads and bridges for the transit of produce and merchan- dize safe, easy and expeditious ? Good roads are a clear, decided, and unquestionable proof of good government, as had roads are of a negligent and inefficient one. If a comparison in this respect be instituted between the old regime and the new, the superiority of the latter will appear most conspicuous. The Family Compact, or Tory Ohstructives, or by whatever name they may be called, certainiydeserve the highest credit for the state of the roads during their administration. for with very limited means, and a sparse and scattered population, the individuals of which had not had time to arrive at the same degree of wealth, that they may boast of now. they caused roads to he opened, and kept them in far better repair, than they are at present, from one end ofthc lxiland to the other. They had all the ditiicul- ties of the Pioneer to contend with, and they are entitled to all the credit.

NOTES BY THE WAY. _ (continued.)

We foiiud soon after our arrival in St. John, that no Steamer would leave for Boston, on the Monday, as usual, the Steamer Adelaide having been taken oil‘ to repair some injuries done to her coppcr. About forty passengers were in waiting, expecting to proceed, and many of them were excecdingl urgent. One of the steamers lying to Mono ton could have been obtained, ad the agent been willing,

is passage, if she were allowed to go. Another gentleman belonging to Richibucto. ﬁnding there was no vesel ready to soil at the appoint- ed time returned home, but before doing so entered an action for damages against the Steamboat Company, for loss of time, and ex- pences ; this trial, unless it be arrau d between the parties. will come oil’ in Novem r, at St. John. It will be an interesting case, ‘and one of importance to travellers, and if the Steam- boat Company be mulctcd in dams es, it will make rties more careful for the uture, and prevent travellers bein misled or disappointed.

hers is a great di crimes of opinion among Lawyers on the sub'ect, some arguing in favor of the Plaintiﬂ an some against him. We think the American gentleman and the plain- tilf in this case, have every chance in their favour; the former went to the agent on the

revious tri and enquired if there would be a boat on the louduy, " for” said he, “ if there be none, I will 0 this trip,” he was assured that the boat wou d go as usual; again, when he found that the A el.iide had been taken of to repair, he asked Mr. Walker, the roprietor of the boats {plying to the Bend, i he would charter one 0 them for Portland, and he found that he wotild, if the other company were willing to emplo him. This was reported to the agent of the ston line, but he declined to have anything to do with them, ulthou h $100 was otlo.-red towards the expense. on e trial comes oil’, we will duly report the decision to our readers, for we feel assured, that it is one of those important subjects in which all will feel interested.

When we had ascertained that we were to be detained in St. John for four days, we were determined that we would see every thing that was worth seeing in and about the city.
