     ‘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-

     “ Rev. Sir,—l have the honour to receive your 
     
     letter. and set quite happy to answer it. I will 
     
     tell you of what is going on here. The weather

     or rather their position, all along the banks of the 
     
     Tchernaya, Tchorgoun, Belbec, and Alma. e 
     
     are advancing our works, and strengthening 
     
     our position in like manner. 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,

     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

     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, 
     
    

    
     ii an American gentleman offered $1 for 
     
    

    
     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. St. 
     
     Johu_ has some ver picturesque scenery in its 
     
     vicinity, and were it not, that it is covered for a 
     
     third of the most pleasant part of the year with 
     
     fog, it would be a very delightful place to live in,

     the sus nsion bridge over the Falls, and a in 
     
     admire the noble and extensive view whic it 
     
     affords. That part of the river where the sus- 
     
     ppnsicn bridge crosses, should more properlg
