It is considered doubtful, by the news paper writers, whether she leaves England this season, but no change has been made in the official announcement, as yet.

It is said there is a want of unanimity in the British Cabinet, on the Chinese question. Affairs in Italy are in a dis turbed state. Numerous arrests have been made in Parma, and the principals in the murder of WIHTEB BA.BLEY. Winter barley is a yariety of grain that hai only been tried in this State for a few years, and has not yet got largely into cultiration. Wherever it has been given a fair chance, it has done well, as we know by the crops which we have seen.

In a letter to the Branch County Republican, Mr. James Clisbee, a well known and prominent farmer, thus writes of winter barley: "The winter barley has been grown in this vicinity for the last three years, and is, consequently, no longer an experiment With as it has done well in every instance where it has had any chance. The general yield is from 20 to 24 bushels to the acre. Judging from what we have seen of the grain, it is capable of yielding 80 bushels per acre. During the past season, it has been raised by the side of spring barley, and has produced four buBhels to one of the spring variety.

Mr. Amos Culver, of this place, (Quincy,) has raised during the past season 60 bushels per acre on oat stubble once plowed, or 180 bushels on three acres, and on land that has been cropped for eight years in succession. We think it has decided advantages over spriog barley, viz 1. It may be sown after farmers get through with their hurry in sowing winter wheat. 2.

It may be harvested before wheat iB ripe. 3. It has no black, or false heads. 4. It yields two to one, at least.

5. The insect will not hurt it in the fall, and it is so early that the weevil will not hurt it. We are in hopes this barley will prove a substitute for the wheat crop, if we should be obliged to give up the cultivation of that grain in consequence of the insects and weevil, which at present threaten its destruction in Michigan. This variety of barley should be sown sometime between the 15th of September and the 1st of November, requiring about two bushels of seed per acre. It will ripen ten days earlier than wheat, and leaves the ground in good condition for that grain.

Carpenter, a prominent merchant, had been killed by the Danites. Rumor said that several companies of emigrants had been plundered by the Indians on the Northern Toute, and several killed. San Juan advices say that a notice is posted on the wharf that the revenue laws of the United States are in force in all islands east of Haro Channel, and property, or vessels loading, will be seized and confiscated if the law is not complied with. A vessel which landed liquor had been confiscated, and the party fined five hundred dollars and one year imprisonment. ine revolution in tne ocace oi jjonvar, attraciea attention.

Advices represent the national government to have declared the State in a state of Biege. It was rumored that the government forces had been defeated at Mopis, with a loss of sixty killed and two hundred prisoners, and that the revolutionists had taken up a strong position to prevent the national forces from descending the river.

King Leopold's visit to Biarritz is also said to have contributed to improve the relations between the English and French Governments.

ITALY. The assassination of Connt Anviti at Parma attracted considerable attention. It is stated that the French Consul at Parma received orders to quit his post unless prompt justice was done, and ex- nipiary chastisement inflicted on the author oi iue muruer. a uispaicn says tne investigation was being carried on by the Government of Parma, which had decided to act with due severity against the guilty party. The organization of military forces for the Italian League was daily becoming more complete.

Gen. Fantihad his head-quarters at Modena, Gari baldi at Bologna, and Mezzacapo at Rim int. Vol- ihe Sardinian Chambers were to meet as soon as the treaty of peace was signed, but will then be dissolved, and fresh elections take place. The Sardinian Minister was on the eve of quitting Rome, and it was expected that, before doing so, he would place the Sardinian subjects under the protection of the French Embassy. INDIA AND CHINA.

The Calcutta mail of Sept. 16 had arrived at Aden Oct. 1. The rebels on the Nepaul frontier were still troublesome. Some of the discharged European troops had already sailed from Calcutta.

There is a vague report that Lord Canning had been relieved, and would be succeeded in the Governor Generalship by Lord Clarendon. China dates, according to the telegraph, are to Aug. 10. The Peiho and Grand Canal were blockaded by the British and French war vessels. Admiral Hope was in a precarious state, and would have to be invalided.

The American Minister, says the dispatch, was still negotiating, and about proceeding to Pekin. Chine, Kang, the celebrated rebel leader, had been killed by his own people. ONE DAT LATER. The steamship Ocean Queen arrived at New York on Monday, bringing dates to the 13th. Her news is interesting.

The eminent engineer, Robert Stephenson, died on the 12th. Numerous arrestshad been made at Parma, and the principal authoTS and accomplices of the murder of Anviti are in the hands of justice. The city was tranquil, and the disarming of the populate had been ordered. It was surrounded by Modenese and Tuscan troops. Gen.

Garibaldi had issued a proclamation to the army of Italy, He says "Soldiers, the hour of a new struggle approaches. The enemy is threatening, and will, perhaps, attack us before many days are over. In addrest-ing my old companions of Lombardy, I know I am not speaking to deaf men, and that it is enough to tell them that we are going to fight the enemy of Italy. I shall look to see you, then, firm in your ranks." Dated Bologna, October G. The Pope was to have an interview with the King of Naples at Castle Gondolfo, where he will prolong his stay on account of the agitation reigning in Home.

After his departure, a dfmonstration took place in honor of the Sardinian Ambassador; and a crowd of visitors, estimated at ten thousand, called and left their cards at the Ambassador's residence. The French gens d'armerie preserved order, but the effect of the demonstration was profound. The Ambassador was to leave on the 10th, when another slight demonstration was expected. A Zurich dispatch of the 11th says the Conference does not draw to a close. Austria still refuses to diminish the amount of the debt of Lombardy to be borne by Sardinia.

The demands of Austria are not only rented by Sardinia, but do not receive the support of France, who has proposed to submit the disputed point to the arbitration of another Power, No answer had been received to this proposition. The French government wishes the arrears of the pensions of the Monte Napoleon, and an indemnity for the cost of the late war, to be included in the statement of the debt which will have to be paid by Austria and Piedmont. Letters from Madrid state that the Emperoi of Morocco had ratified the arrangement concerning the frontier line of Melila, and expressed his readiness to give Spain all the satisfaction she demanded. Additional discoveries had been made at Constantinople concerning the late conspiracy. It was asserted that incendiary machines had been dis-covtred, which were intended to burn the European part of the town.

The Grand Vizier had tendered his resignation, and although it was refused, it was evident that the dissolution of the Ministry was inevitable. The new loan had been contracted, under heavy conditions. On the occasion, of the obsequies of the liey of Tunis the ors assailed the Jews, wounding many mortally. Some Christians were also wounded, as wa also a Minister of the new Bey, who came to the rescue, striking and killing many on the spot, and caused thirty Mussulmen to be arrested. Tranquillity finally prevailed.

TWO DAYS LATER. The steamship Persia arrived at New York on Wednesday. Her dates are to the 13th. ZURICH CONFERENCE. A Paris dispatch of the 13th, to the London Post, says the Congress which is to follow the Conference at Zurich has been convened.

All the great powers, including England, will be represented. The Paris Cons tit utionnel of the 14th puhlishes an article signed by Secretary Boniface, stating that the only question to be settled at Zurich, is the Lombard debt, the contracting powers being agreed on all other points; the early signature of the treaty is expected, and the questions not settled will be submitted to a Congress, the assembling of which all the European powers are agreed upon. ENGLAND. The London Globe is authorized to deny the rumor that Lord Canning is to be succeeded in the Governor Generalship of India by Lord Clarendon. The Great Eastern was attracting great crowds of excursionists to Holyhead, and the Queen was to visit her during her sojourn in Wales on or about the 17th.

Nothing definite is known as to the ultimate movements of the big ship. FRANCE. It is stated, by way of Brussels, that on the occasion of the visit of the Emperor to Bordeaux, most of the Italian residents in the town were arrested during his stay, but were released after his departure. These arrests were made on account of a dispatch having been received from the Prefect of Algiers, stating that four passports had been stolen from the Sardinian Consulate in that place, and with which four Italians had started for France and passed through Montpelier, where further track of them was lost. INDIA AND CHINA.

The mail of Sept. 9 from Calcutta, and Aug. 24 from Hong Kong, already telegraphed via the Red Sea cable, had reached Trieste. Fera Scha had made an attack upon the TJmsdi-laisar station in Central India, and effected the release of 100 prisoners. Capt.

Howes, the political agent there was killed. Two Russian engineers had proceeded to Pekin to make preparations for the telegraphic line from that place to the Russian territory. TWO DAYS LATER. The steamship Jason arrived at St. Johns, N.

on Wednesday, with dates to the 17th. London. Monday noon. The China mail has ar rived. Mr.

Ward, the American Minister to China, had been courteously received at Pekin, and he expected to be able to send to his government, the ratified treaty by the next mail. The latest rumors say that the Great EaBtera sails for America about the 24th of October. It is denied that France seeks any indemnity from Sardinia, but merely asks payment of advances made. FROM CALIFORNIA, St. Louis, Oct.

21. The overland mail, with California dates of the 30th has arrived here. Mr. Crane, delegate elect from the proposed Nevada Territory, died at Bold Hill, Carson Valley, the 2Gth ult. The Sacramento correspondent of the San Francisco Bulletin says that an active canvass has commenced for the vacant Beat in the United States Senate.

It is thought that the Governor will make no appointment, leaving the Legislature under special obligations to elect one as soon as possible after their meeting in January. It is supposed that the new Governor favors the election of S. W. Juge, formerly of Alabama, so as to leave a better chance for a Northern man, (himself, perhaps.) as the successor of Senator Gwin, who must be elected in the winter of 1861. Gov.

Wheeler will go in favor of this plan in the event of his strength not being sufficient to secure his own election this winter. New York, Oct. 24. The steamship Baltic arrived this evening, with California dates of the 5th, 700 passengers, and $1,871,000 in specie. The run has been made in nineteen days, seven hours, the shortest on record.

James M. Crane, one of the California pioneers, had died of apoplexy. Collector Washington, of San Francisco, had entered the field for the Senatorship.

On Friday of laBt week the New York waterworks met with a similar disaster to that which came so near depriving our own city of water, last spring. The main supply pipe of the Cro-ton water-works, in the vicinity of 50th Street and Fifth Avenue, burst, pouring forth immense quantities of water, and forming two or three large ponds near the place of the break.

The accident was caused by piling in rocks, to make a street grade, instead of sand or gravel. The pipe was 36 inches in diameter and 22 feet below the surface. The leak caused a great scarcity of water, particularly in the lower portions of the city, and some of the evening papers were obliged to buy water to work off their editions. Speculators drove a brisk business, by carting water about and peddling it out in small quantities. Repairs were immediately commenced, and by Saturday afternoon the break was so far repaired that all cause for further trouble was removed.

The X. Y. Herald for Sunday says The laborers engaged in repairing the Cro-ton water-pipe at Street, under the direction of Chief-Engineer Craven, reached the dam-atrprl nortion at about eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon. It was discovered that the break was on one side of the heavy iron pipe. The supposition as to the cause of the accident is, that the metal was first cracked at that point by the recently increased ponderous weight above it, and afterwards the lateral pressure of the water forced a wide aperture.

It was fully repaired last night, so that the Croton is all right again. It was also discovered that, the Orntnn water-pipes, nil tho way from the lake to this city, have been a swimming-pond for the fish. Numbers of white and yellow bass were found on Friday night amid the mass of earth and rocks, and as fast as found were roasted by the laborers at the great rosin fires kept up during the night, and eaten with avidity. One of the fish thus caught was nine inches in length. They were driven up by the water amid the rocks, and died Bince its drawing off.

The western section of the distributing-reservoir became entirely empty on Friday afternoon, when quantities of fresh water clams and muscles were discovered at the bottom. The opportunity to clean it was improved. It has not been cleaned before since 1842. At the time of the break in the Cochituate water-works, the New York papers were disposed to be funny at the expense of the Bostanians, and some of them really did say some pretty good things, but now, that they have had a sim ilar disaster at their own doors, the laugh is, somehow, "on the other side of their mouths." However, we have learned to appreciate the value of a good supply of pure water, and, bearing no malice for a good-natured joke, heartily congratulate our New York friends on the restoration of their inestimable "water privileges." PERSONAL. A letter from Paris, dated Oct.

7, says Senator Seward will leave England in two or three days, for home. Gen. Prophete, one of the ringleaders of the recent conspiracy against the government of Hayti, sailed from New York on Saturday for Liverpool, in the City of Washington. Felix O. C.

Darley, that versatile and skilful draughtsman, whose illustrations of "Margaret" and of Cooper's novels are so much admired, was married at Cambridge on Thursday, to a daughter of the late Warren Colburn. Captain M'Clintock has declined to receive any pecuniary reward from the British government in compensation of his late brilliant service in the Arctic regions. The Worcester Spy reports that Miss Delia Bacon, whose name for some years been familiar to the public, in connection with her theory as to the authorship of Shakspeare's plays, died a short time Bince in the Insane Retreat at Hartford, where she has been an inmate since her return from England last spring. Robert P. Dunlap, ex-Governor of Maine, and a Member of Congress from 1843 to 1847, died at his residence in Brunswick, a few daya since.

Mr. Benj. S. Heywood, of the firm of Little, Brown Boston booksellers, died Tuesday, 18th, of consumption, at the age of thirty years. Samuel Peabody, died a few days since, at Andover, at the advanced age of 84 years.

He was formerly a distinguished lawyer in New Hampshire. The report that Mr. S. G. Goodrich is in failing health is contradicted.

He is hale and hearty. Carl Ritter, the great geographer, died at Berlin on Sept. 28, aged eighty. He was acknowledged to be the first man of his time in the study to which he had devoted his life. He was an intimate friend of Humboldt.

Bass River Bank. On Wednesday, an injunction waa served on Basi River Bank.Ueverly, on application of the Bank Commissioners, by which the officers of the Bank are restrained from issuing any more notes or making any additional loans until otherwise ordered by the Supreme Court. It is thought that bill holders are fully secured from loss, and that the Bank is amply able to redeem its present circulation. Farmers' Convention. See call for a gathering of farmers in another column.

We have not learned the precise object of the meeting, more than that the formation of an agricultural society is in contemplation. We give our neighbors our best wishes for their success. Jlolilital ifafos. State Politics. The near approach of our State election, which is to be held on Tuesday, Nov.

8, makes politicians of all parties particularly active. County and District Conventions are being held in every direction, and candidates for minor offices are much more plentiful than the offices for which they are striving. Of course, it is impossible for us to chronicle anything more than the principal nominations, which we have already done. Vermont State Officers and Judiciary. On Thursday, of last week, the Vermont Legislature, in joint session, elected the following State Officers Secretary of State, Benjamin W.

Massachusetts Legislature. Beyond the standing business of the extra session, the revision of the statutes, the Legislature has transacted little business of interest, the past week. The amendment to the resolve in relation to the Mann statue, making the approval of the Legislature necessary, was rejected by the Senate, on Monday, and on Wednesday the House receded from its former vote, and passed the resolve without any proviso, in concurrence with the Senate. The Governor has been called on by the House to furnish information of the condition and amount of the lands in Maine owned by Massachusetts. Our Indian Affairs.

The Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Mr. Greenwood, has returned to Washington after six weeks' absence, during which he has made arrangements for treaties with the Sacs and Foxes of the Mississippi and with the K.aw Indians of Kansas and Nebraska. He expresses gratification at the result of his numerous interviews with them, and says that they are anxious to adopt the pursuits of civilized life, as they can no longer depend upon the chase. This has been the policy of the government. Election Returns.

We have the following items of news concerning the rtcent elections The Pennsylvania returns from every county, except one, give 18,044 Opposition majority. The total vote of the State will be about 23,000 less than it was in 1858. The Minnesota returns, with the exception of four counties, put Ramsey (Republican) 4100 ahead. Our latest Iowa exchanges think that Kirk- wood's (Republican) majority will not be far from 3000. The Republican candidate (Daly) for delegate to Congress from Kansas, has been elected by a majority of 48 over the Democratic candidate.

The full returns of the California election are as follows For Governor Latham (Adm.) has votes; Curry, (A. 31,302 Stanford, 10,139 giving Latham a majority of 20,014 over the united vote of both his opponents. For Congress Burch (Adm.) has 58,457, and Scott, 57,107 while McKibben (A. has 43,480, and Baker, 41,458. The proposition to revise the Constitution was lost, because it did not have a majority of all the votes cast at the election.

ARRIVAL OP THE AN'OIiO-SAXON. The steamship Anglo-Saxon passed Father Point on Sunday.

Her dates are to the 12th four days later. THE ZURICH CONFERENCE. A prolongation of the Conference is anticipated. Difficulties still remain unadjusted, and it was considered doubtful when the treaty of peace would be signed. GREAT BRITAIN.

The steamship Great Eastrrn quitted Portland at a quarter before 4, P. on the 8th, and dropped anchor at Holyhead at quarter before 4, on Monday afternoon, 10th, having accomplished the Toyage round under favorable circumstances. The distance run during the 48 hours was computed at something over 500 miles. The average rate of opeed for the whole trip is Btated at a little over 13 knots, though during a great portion of the time, the engines did not go more than nair speed. The paddles averaged 10, and the screw 38 revolutions per minute, working at a pressure of 20 pounds.

The greatest speed was over 144 knots, or nearly 17 miles an hour. This was accomplished without any special exertions on the part of the engines, but a considerable quantity of canvass was spread. It was reported that the Great Eastern would remain at Holyhead ten or twelve days, and then proceed round to Southampton to have her boilers thoroughly repaired, in accordance with the requirements of the Board of Trade, The correspondent of the London Times, on board the ship, writing before the run to Holyhead, says it is more than probable the ship would not leave England during the winter, and that Southampton will probably be her winter quarters. Humors are current of considerable differences, and even a split, in the English Cabinet on the Chinese question. Great hopes had been raised that the Builders' strike in London waa about to terminate, but on the day preceding the steamer's departure, these hopes were dispelled, pending negotiations having terminated in an unsatisfactory manner.

FRANCE. It was slated that the Emperor had been unwell for a week or so. but the maladv was not serious. The return of the Emperor to Parii was expected BIENNIALS AND PERENNIALS. The following will answer several inquiries about the nature of biennials and perennials Biennials, speaking in a general sense, are sown one summer, and bloom and die the next, as soon as thev have ripened their seeds.

Most of them are hardy enough to stand our winters, for one summer is not long enough to complete their growth, even with the help ot the hot-house, green-house or frame. Many stocks are biennial the Canterbury bell is a biennial, and if sown about June, and planted out when large enough, will flower about the same time next year. Perennials are plants which do not die at any given period, but would live on like an oak or vine, it the necessary conditions could he sup. plied, and the great family of plants comprises most of this kind. Hardy perennials will grow many years in the same spot, and spread into large masses, nuios increase in number.

Fibrous and tuberous rooted subjects spread out into many plants all round, and only want to be separated from the parent. Many of them Beparate themselves, and when they degenerate, it is from remaining too long in the same spot of soil, which they in time exhaust. Stove perennials, cultivated in pots, are from time to time shifted from one sized potto another, and new soil is filled up round the old ball of earth, and the plant continues to grow so long as this can be done. Artisan. CHAMPS.

These most terrible of pains, says UaWs Journal of Health, arise from the veins being so full of blood that they swell out, press against the large nerves, and thus impede the circulation of the vital fluid. Jn smaller nerves the distension produces neuralgia, which is literally "nerve ache." The cause of this unusual fullness of the veins is that the blood is so impure, so thick, so full of disease, that it cannot flow by nature's ordinary agencies. In proportion as it is thick, it is cold, and this abnormal state is indicated by feebleness of the pulse. In cholera patients it is very marked, and existed days and weeks before the attack. The following simple method of treatment is given "When a person is attacked with cramp, get some hot water quietly and expeditiously (for noise and exclamations of grief and alarm still further disturb the nervous equilibrium,) put the sufferer in the water as completely as possible, and thus heat is imparted to the blood, which sends it coursing along the veins, and the pain is gone.

While the water is in preparation, rub the cramped part part very briskly with the hand or a woolen flannel, with your mouth shut. But why keep the mouth shut? You can rub harder, faster, and more efficiently, besides, it saves the sufferer from meaningless and agonizing inquiries. A man in pain does not want to be talked to he wants relief, not words. If all could know as physicians do, the inestimable value of quiet composure, and a confident air on the part of one who attempts to aid a sufferer, it would be practiced with ceaseless assiduity by the considerate and the humane." PROTECTION TO GRAPE VINES. Our notice of the fact that the cold had destroyed the grape buds, induced many to examine their vines to their sorrow.

That the injury is general throughout this region, we find confirmed on every Bide. The questions may now be pressed, will it pay to protect our hardy vines and, what protection do they need A hasty glance at the vines of our friend and correspondent, Col. Dewey, enables us to answer. If one year in ten only is to be so severe on the vines, it is worth while to give them the protection of laying them down, coiled a little together, and some brush and rubbish thrown over them. Aside from the mere protection to the buds, there is thus afforded protection to the vines they will not "kill back." The practice will lead to fall pruning, and the vines will get less bulky they will be more judiciously pruned, and much more conveniently, as one may have bis choice between pruning on the trellis, or the ground.

The Colonel's vines were simply laid together upon the ground, and a little very light rubbish thrown over them. They are leafing out beautifully, we noticed hardly a blasted bud even to the tips of some which had made quite long growth, which had been left to layer. A single vine or two of our hardy native grape was near and unprotected, had suffered thoroughly, the buds being all blasted. The list of grapes, hardy without protection, is reduced to zero in our opinion. The number of varieties which are thus hardy with the slightest protection upon the ground, are quite numerous, judging from those of Colonel Dewey, which embrace many of the most highly recommended of the new grapes, besides the older ones.

Iiome-itead. Domestic Cattle. Mr. S. G.

Goodrich in his new book on "Natural History," gives a very extended description of the bovine animals, and especially of the ox kind, tracing the origin of the different breeds, with notices of the qualities of each. In respect to them, he presents copious tables showing the number of domestic cattle belonging to the different countries of the world. From these estimates it appears that Rnsiia has 20.000.000 domestic catUe. Great Britain and Holland 8 000 000 Austria (100 Frwice 8,000.000 United States of America 2,000,000 The whole world is estimated to contain It is supposed that one-third of them are killed annually, bo that we have about 70,000,000 carcasses, weighing 28,000,000,000 pounds 70,000,000 skins, 140,000,000 horns, and 280,000,000 feet, annually, to be converted into beef, tallow, leather, combs, manure, Fine Grapes. Mr.

Caleb Bates, of Kingston, presented us this morning with the finest specimens of Isabella and Catawba grapes that we have seen and tasted this season. They were large, plump, and highly flavored. Mr. Bates is a successful fruit grower, and has peculiarities in his mode of cultivation which we have no doubt he will communicate through these columns to others for he never hides the light which dawns upon himself. Mr.

Bates' grapes are sold at Palfrey's Premium Fruit Store, 61 Tremont Street, Boston, where the choicest kinds, both foreign and domestic may usually be found. Mr. Frederick Wingate, of Augusta, whom we saw and conversed with at our late visit to the State Fair in Maine, also brought us some very fine Isabellas, for his latitude not equal to those raised by Mr. Bates, but such as would be regarded as valuable fruit by most persons. Mr.

Wingate, though now past seventy-five, is as lealous in his favorite art of horticulture, and courts it as assiduously, as ever did poet the muses. He raises a great many purple grapes, but "blue devils" will not nourish on his soil. Tao for ine sieuuiDuiya HviP til the above. France has col- lected 22,000 men for the expedition against Morocco. The affairs of Italy are as complicated as ever.

The Russian Ambassadors at London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna had been summoned by telegraph to meet the Emperor Alexander at Warsaw on the 15th inst. Letters to Mr. Cumberland, agent of the Great Eastern Company, state that the steamer would sail within three days after the 20th. Mr. Ward, the American Minister, had been courteously received in Pekin, and expected to be able to send our government the ratified treaty by the next mail.

California news is not of special interest. The steamship Baltic, which brought the news to the 5th made a remarkably quick trip. The whole time was only 19 days and 7 hours, the fastest on record. A riot between the Gentiles and Mormons is reported at San Bernardino. An outbreak in the California State Prison was quelled after three men were killed and twelve wounded.

South American news reports the continuance of the troubles in Bolivia. The government has declared the country in a state of siege. Political matters in our own State are diligently discussed at present by all parties, but elsewhere we have nothing important to report. General news is not so full as usual. Several fires are reported in various sections, the most destructive of which are those at Louisville and Leavenworth.

The trial of Capt. Brown and his associates, taken at Harper's Ferry, is now progressing. No new facts of interest have been brought to light. Cook was arrested at Lhambersburgh, on Wednesday. The Reform School incendiaries have had their trial and been sentenced to the House of Correction, for periods varying according to their complicity in the affair.

An injunction was placed on the Bass River Bank in Beverly, on Wednesday. Bill holders will be Becured from loss. The Legislature is busily engaged upon the revision. The weather continues cool. Friday and Sat urday were very blustering, uncomfortable days, but it has since been more pleasant.

MILK AID MILK LAWS. A prime necessity in all families, and one which it is often difficult, if not impossible, to supply in large towns and cities, is milk pure milk not what the old lady designated as "the real sky-blue article," but such Bweet, fragrant, fresh-drawn milk, as you can get only in the country, foaming and frothing in the pail in honest pride at its superiority over the weak, adul terated article sold by city milkmen, and the mere taste of which is sufficient to put one forever out of all conceit with the imitation. The deli terious and often fatal effects upon children, of adulterated milk are well known, and the deaths from this cause form no inconsidera ble addition to the annual tables of mortality. With the view of protecting the community from this danger, the Legislature, during the past spring, enacted a stringent law concerning the sale of milk, several violations of which have recently been prosecuted in our courts. By this law, town and city authorities are required to appoint, annually, one or more inspectors, whose duty is defined to be "to prosecute all violations of the law against the adulterations of milk." The inspectors have the power to enter all places where milk is Btored or kept for sale, to take specimens of the same and cause them to be analyzed or otherwise satisfactorily tested, the result of which they are to present as evidence against the parties complained of.

The inspectors are required to record the names and places of business of all personB engaged in selling milk within their respective limits and any person engaging in the sale of milk without recording his name on the inspector's books, and placing his name on all carriages used by him in the conveyance of milk, is liable to the same penalties as if convicted of the adul teration of milk, as provided for in the act of 185G. (The law referred to imposes a penalty of twenty-Jive dollars for selling or causing to be Bold, milk adulterated by water or otherwise, and if a party is convicted of a second offence, fifty dollars or imprisonment in the House of Correction, not less than two, nor more than six months.) The inspectors are sworn to the faithful performance of their duty, and required to give a suitable notice of their appointment by advertising or otherwise. The concluding sections of the statute are as follows Sect. 4. Milk shall be bought and sold by wine measure.

AH pcrsonR enptaRfd in the sale of milk shall annually, in the month of May, caused to be sealed by the sealer of weipbts and measures in their respective cities and towns, all vessels used by them in the sale or buying at wholesale of milk, by wine measure and all cans used in the sale of milk shall be sealed by a sealer of weights and measures at a price not exceeding two cents each at the amount, which they severally hold by wine measure and any person who shall fail to comply with the provisions of the law requiring all measures to be sealed, or shall sell adulterated or unwholesome milk, shall he held guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall forfeit to the use of the complainant a sum not exceeding twenty dollars. Pect. 5. No person shall offer for sale in this Commonwealth, milk produced from cows fed upon the refuse of breweries or distilleries, or any other substance which may be deleterious to the quality of the miik, under a penalty of ten dollars for each offence. Approved April 6, 1859.

Having thus shown what provisions are made for obtaining the pure article, it will not be out of place to notice a new process for preserving it for any length of time, as sweet and fresh as when first drawn from the cow, without any chemical agent. The process is the invention of M. de Pierre, and was explained by the Abbe Moigno at a recent meeting of the British Association. The French people have paid great attention to the important problem how to preserve milk, and three different modes have been more or less used. M.

de Villeneuve was the first to preserve milk, solidifying it by the addition of Thursday, Oct. 27, 1859. 6 shares Portland, Saco and Portsmouth Railroad. 96. 10 do.

Wednesday. Oct. 26, 1859. The week began with a slight pause in the Btock market, and prices for the sound railroad shares were less firm. These occasional retting places are healthful.

After ascending an eminence, it Is pleasant and profitable to look about and view the prospect which is offered, and gather strength for further prog ress. The fanrles are more active, and some descriptions have an upward tendency. Many of the mining shares are more freely offered and sales are large. The movement In the copper shares generally is quite irregular. Land shares retain their former quiet state, and the market for such presents no new feature.

Very few shares are sold. Manufacturing stocks wheo effered sell at an advance of 1 to 2 per cent, from previous quotations. Business is quiet. The autumn trade being nearly over, job bers are doing little. The retail trade Is still lively, however, and no season within the past five years has been more satisfactory.

Money fs quite abundant, and is readily dbtalned on easy terms. The banks hold about six millions in specie. The amount of business paper is not large. The cotton market has improved. In coniequence of apprehensions of injuries to the growing ciop from frosts.

The exports will increase, and although the specie shipments continue, they are without effect on the money market, and nothing appears in the distance ad-Terse to continued ease in monetary (Fairs. Six shares of stock of Barnstable Bank were sold at auction at South Dennis, on Saturday last, four at $117, and two at 9116,75 per share. One half share Cape Cod railroad stock sold for $10,25 Advertiser. BOSTON BOOT AND SHOE MARKET.

Satcrdat, Oct. 22, 1859. The Boot and Shoe market continues comparatively dull, and we look for a very quiet market fora month ortwo. A moderate amount of orders has been received from te South and West, and business ha" been inconsequence confined almost exclusively to the New England trade, who are purchasing full average supplies The business remains quite as unsatisfactory as previously noticed, prices ruling quite low and the stock of good large for the tea-ion. Manufacturers are doing tcarce-ly anything, and the best policy for them is evidently to suspend operations until there is a prospect of more remunerating rates.

Leather continues quite dull and depressed in all the Ertncipal markuts, and the tendency ol prices downward, ides are aim quite dull, although the prospect of an export drmand for Europe has checked the downward tendency for tne present. Private advices from California report no improvement there. Boots and Shoes are selling at auntion at less than Boston cost, and market badly overstocked, the supply on hand being fudy equal to six months' ootmtnptton. To relieve that mar set and advanc prices to remunerating rates shipments from this side should be sutpended for several months. No exports tbe past week.
