JOHN’S, N.F., Oct. l3.â€"â€"The Asia, from Liverpool, Saturday, 4th, passed Cape Race, at 2 o’clock this after- noon, m route for Aalifax and Boston.â€" She Was boarded and a summary of her news obtained, which is two days later than that by the Hibernian, but contains nothing of any Importance. The English papers continue to compli- ment the North for its efforts in Maryland. and argue in lavour of the m0st promising results therefrom. Mr. Spence, the. Liverpool correspon- dent of the London Times, has another letter in that journal complimenting the North on the valor of its armies and the skill shown by its Generals in Maryland. He says the North is now in a position to make. peace Without dishonon biit that the golden opportunity will be lost, and adds: " As the North cannot be the first to ac- knowledge the independece of the Con- federates, Europe should remove the stumbling block by recognizing the Con federate States, and the North may then follow its example.” The New York correspondent of the London Times, writing Sept. 19, says it is evident that the decisive battle of the war is not yet fought. All that has hap- pened is but the preliminary to the final onslaughter, cud how it will, is not likely to make or tnar the fortunes of the Con- federates. , He adds, that the resignation or abdication of President Lincoln is de- bated as a matter of courSe' The Army and Navy Gazette says the South has dried the offensive and failed. The Confederate army has shown great daring and tenacity, but has beer. beaten. Gen. McClellan has shown that, as a soldier, he is equal to Gens. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. The division of the Confederate forces was a great mistake, but great Generals would have known how to convert that mistake into a disastrous defeat; while second-late soldiers, like McClellan, could only get out with respectable success. The exportatiori of‘arms and ammuni- tion from England to America is rapidly increasing. The shipments of the first 8 months of the year are valued at £1,308,- 000. The Paris Patric hears from geod sources that nothing is more likely than that the recognition of the South, on the basis of accomplished facts, will very soon be on the tapis, England and France act- mg in concert. The following is a list of the American ships destroyed by the rebel pirate Alabw mm, 290, near Flores: The Ocmulgee, Ocean Rover, Albert, Osceola, Cruiser, Ocean Cruiser, Ben. TUcker, Weather Guage, Admiral Blake, Alpman, and the schooner Starlight. Mason and Slidell had written to the French journals to say, that they had no Official knOwl'edge of their recall. The Rowe, from Jamica, at Liverpool, _ Aug. 24, 200 miles E.S.E. from New York, eXchangcd signals with a Confeder- ate war steamer standing North, but did not learn her name. ITALY. '1' he LaDiscusz'on of Turin says that the King’s daughter, before quittting Italy for Portugal, implored pardon and favour for the persons who participated in the late insurrection against the Goverri-i ment, and that her prayer will be heard. LaDiscusezon adds :â€"On Sunday, the dub, a Royal decree will proclaim an am‘ nasty to Garibaldi and his followers, ex cepting only the deserters from the Royal army. The Paris Bourse was much excited on the 3rd instant, and routes advanced nearly 1‘, per ct. closing at 72. It is supposed the advance was caused by a rumour that the Papal Government had shown a more pliant disposition. Liverpool circulars report at Friday’s market flour firm.

The weather, too, was wet and disagreeable, and those who did not take any particular interest in the election, remained at home. But the result of the contest shows that Mr. McMaster is the choice of the electors. The ranks of the Conservative party were unfortu- nately divided. Although Mr. Gamble, according to the verdict ‘Of all unprejudiced men, has shown himself in public life to be. reliable and trustWOi-thy, yet he has the misfortune to be personally, less popular than his Opponent.â€" He has not taken the pains to court public favor, any further than it could be secured by a straightfor- ward course. The opinion also is very prevalent that party politics should not always be test in the choice of a Legislative Councillor; and hence numbers voted for Mr. McMaster on other than political grounds. His extensive business relations with merchants through- out the Division, together with the abundance of money at his com- mand, which he is said to have used pretty freely in the contest, exerted an influence which Mr. Gamble could not commend. But now that the election isover, and Mr. McMaSter' duly elected, we would say, by all means let him have a fair trial. If he proves himself to be really sincere in his professions. and-able and willing to discharge faithfully his duty as the people's representative, we shall be the last to find fault. Al- though differing from us in poli- tics, we think he should now be judged solely by his public acts. without any reference to the bitter- ness engendered by the recent . contest.

One old gentleman sat in his (the pedlars) of a waslierwoman; whether the old gen- tleman’s feet were anythe better for the “ good Samaritan ” or not, they were cer- ceived. However, the Philistines came down upon the 9‘ good Samaritan” with the intimation that he must. reiid'er‘untoi Caesar $20 for the privilege of healing the crooked extremities of her Majesty’s sub- . jects in the town of Markhamâ€"to which our “good Samaritan” reluctantly com- plied; then sliakiug the dust from his feet he left the unlioly'ground, hundoubtedly with a firm determination not again to transgress the laws of Markham Village. However the By-laws may be, the justice ofthe thing is not verv apparent, neither is it the policy that ofa liberal neighborhood, if all business men must be dealt with in the same shape, Markham Village must» still retrograde. The show of Horses was good, for general purposes,remarkably so. Seveial good imported were shown a two~year old of Mr. Sanderson’s is a superior animal. Messrs. J. & G. Miller had some superior cattle On the ground, of different breeds. Messrs. Beatty, Jen- nings, ROhson, Cresby, &c., also showed some good Cattle. The show of Sheep was remarkably good. A Hampshire Ram imported and shown by Mr. Geo. Miller, was a very superior animal. Mr. Miller, Pickering, had .a pen of Leicesters remarkably good. Some French and Saxon Merions, not remarkable for beauty so much as breed, which was undoubtedly pure, shown by Mr. Jas. Ecknrdt, and from the stock of Messrs. Patterson l3ros., claimed a great deal of attention. Messrs. Geo. Miller and .I. P. Wheeler were the successful candidates for Sivinenlarge breedâ€"enormous animals they Were. In small breed Messrs. Malcolm had some beautiful stock. The show of swine was smaller than usual. Inside the tent a beautiful display presented itself.

Spring Wheat and Barley were not nearly as good as on many former occasions. - The show of ROots was large, and some magnificent Specimens shown. Mr. King had some Turnips weighing 30 lb. each, together with a general assortment of garden produce of superior quality. Mr.;J. Papeof Toronto, had a show of his Own, comprising 28 va- rieties of garden produce ; he was not able to compete from some means or other, se- veral others were complaining on account of their not being able to compete in dif- ferent classes, on account of, not making entrances the day previousâ€"a regulation no doubt that will be rectified in future.â€" Mr. Carter. 6th con., sliOWed some monâ€" ster Cauliflowers, three of which he sold for $1. 01‘ Butter there were 23 entries-beau- tiful samples, which would run little risk of spoiling iii any family, and did credit to the wives and daughters of our farmers.- The Ist prize was carried off by Mrs. A.

A Roller in two sections, one a distance be- hind the other, looked like working atl- mii-ably on rough ground, and ensin turned without dragging. The Cultivators were good, no new features were noticeable in them. Mr. Wailes showed some remark- ably pretty Carriages; lie had no rompe- trast. T. Speigbt & Son had two Farm- ers VVaggons on- the ground, got up' in first-class style, and would be a credit to any establishment in Canada. T. Wilson, of Richmond Hill, appeared to be the centre of attraction amongst farmers with his improved Fanning Mill for cleaning grain, which it performed in a superior mannerâ€"~all agreeing it was the best mill ever made "in Canada. He was too late for entrance. A Cider Press by Mr. G. Robson, of Whitby, was making cider on the ground, and dispensing it free gratis to to the thirsty lookei‘s on.

Quinn, of the .16th regiment, terminated at Montreal on Friday last. It will be recollected that Mawn, who slept in the same apart- ment, arTOSe‘in the middle of the night, deliberately took down his rifle and shot Quinn while asleep. The prisoner was ably defended by Counsel, who rendered his services gratuitously. The jury, after con- sulting together for three quarters of an hour, returned a verdict of guilty. Judge Mondelet addressed the prisoner at some length on the enormity of the crime he had com- 'mitted, and then sentenced him to be hanged or: the 3lst of the pro. sent mOnth. The jury recommended the prisoner to mercy. There does not appear, however, that there were any extenuating circum- stances in connection- with the commission Of the crime, and; it is "altogether likely that the sentence Since his will be carried out. conviction he has become much depressed in spirits. A clergyman attends him constantly, under whose counsel he is‘ making pre- parations for the next world. D .74 Pic-Nic at Maple. ON Tuesday, the 7th inst , the chil- dren of Vaughan School Section No.6 held a Pic-nic in the large field adjoining the I’tailwayStation. The attendance of parents and friends was very numerous.â€" After the children and parents had partaken of cakes and refreshment, they were addressed by the Rev. . my Surprise Mr. Davidson on the benefits of education, and the great canse of gratitude for the peculiar advan- tages of the present system for ac- quiring useful knowledge. Swings, Balloons, and other amusements were provided by Mr. Ingram, who .is always on hand with something to please the juveniles. Great praise is due to the teacher, Mr. Moreby, for the order and general improvement of the school ; and we are truly glad to hear that the Trustees have secured his services for the ensuing year. rcs Auction Sales. niture, --on .lot No. 4, 6th Con.

Signs of the Times. __ A contemporary has the following: ‘ “It is said that a fund, already amounting to $50,000, is being raised in Washington to test the power of the President to suspend the Habeas Corpus.” The-above, taken in connection with recent events, indicates that unless some brilliant movement be shortly made by the Union army to render the reverses of the. past season, such a revolution of public opinion may be expected in the North as will force .those'now in power either to bring the war to a close, or abdicate their positions.

Sta,-â€"-As the Markham Teacher" ‘ endeavors to make the publicbe; , lieve that he. did not state in his first letter, that he, was a spectator, or used Ianguage‘designed to im- press their minds wnh that idea, I hope you will insert the following, which is taken verbatim from his first letter, and which will prove the correctness of my, former state- ment. The words used by the Markham Teacher are as’follows: “As it was well known among the examiners that at previous ex- aminations there had been. a great deal of copying and other unfair means used by teachers, [certainly expected that some decided steps would be'» taken to prevent the oc- currence of the like again; but to they seemed more careless that: before,” Could any other idea be taken from the sen- tence quoted, 't'h‘a‘nithat the writer was an eye.."witne.__ss to all be com- plained of?» I understand. from the above sentence, that the writer was a spectator. at the Examinatidn; but I will leave it with the readers of the Herald, to judge, whether I am correct or not Teacher did not wish it to be tin- derstood from his first letter, that he was a Spectator, I am surprised to think that he should be unable to expiess his ideas intelligibly, when he has such an unlimited vo. cabulary at his disposal. As his first letter was but shallow, thought it unnecessary to put on my spectacles to see through it, since I am neither shortâ€"sighted of age. The Markham Teacher knows that if he attempted to answer my second letter, he would only expose hin‘iSOlf; because he would be forced to. acknowledge that he. was not at the Hill at all, but at Newmarket, at the last Ex- amination. He is well aware that he has done a great. injustice to the Examiners, and. the Teachers ex- amined at the Hill by writing as he did in the Herald. I think an apology is due to the injured par- ties for the evil likely to result from the letter written by the Markham Teacher. He must have written his first letter without due consideration, .or' he never would have tried to make it'appear that copying among the teachers, and general at the Hill. _ Years, 8:0,, . A TEACHER. King, Oct. 16, 1862. ‘ A semi-Official journal of COpenliagen announces that the Queen of England has formally addressed to Prince Christian a demand for the hand of the Princess Alexandra for the Prince of Wales. On Friday last the oldest son of Fred. Douglas, the celebrated negro orator, left Rochester, for \Vashington to make final arrangements to start for Central America. whither an expedition of about 500 negroes is to depart in about a week. Federal General Morgan has been tem- porarily suspended from his command by the \Vashington Government, and a court of inquiry has been Ordered to investigate the circumstances attending the evacuation of Cumberland Gap,'which is beltei’ed at Washington to have been unnecessary. It is said some English ladies haVe been brutally assaulted by a Swiss innkccper for deducting two francs from his exmbitaut bill. The fellow with one of his servants, pursued them with huge bludgeons, and the landlord drew a knife upon one of them, and stunned another with his stick, a rough piece of paling. THE FORTHCOMING FIGHT ron THE CHAMPIONSHIPw-il‘llc arrangements have been completed for the great fight for the championship between Mace and King. The first portion of the deposit tnoney has been paid, and the remainder Will be paid next week. The fight is to take place some time towards the close ofNovember. The contest will be'for £200 a side and the belt, but where it will take place is not of course likely to transpire. UNEXPECTED PAYMENT. OF AN OLD DEBT. A family emigrated from Handâ€" forth to America, about twenty- four years ago, owmg a debt of £15 to a sliOpkeeper of the village. On Saturday last the old lady, who still keeps the shop , and who is in her 94th year, was surprised by a gentleman entering the shop and stating that- lie had been deputed to pay the debt, and interest. The old lady was, however, content With the £15, as such a trait of honesty shg had not. mettvith before even in her remarkably long life.
