MOXTRKAL, March 9.-Thc call for 10,000 Canadian militia, for active duty, mado last Wednesday evening, was enthusiasti? cally responded to, and on Thursday morn? ing news waa received from all parts of the country that their quotas were .eady for active service at a moment's notice. Thc whole volunteer force of this city pa? troled last evening, and strong guards were posted around tho armories. Patrols were kept moving through tho city all night, every preparation being made to guard against surpr'F" TORONTO, March ?.-The response yes? terday for volunteers from all parts of tue j country was very enthusiastic. Tho Glotte I to-day bas a report that tho plot of the Fenians is for a body of them to cross into Canada, to take part in public processions on St. Patrick's Day, and disturb tho poaee and distract the attention, while armed Fenian bands will make raids on tho bor? ders. From Texas. GALVESTON, March 0.-An effort was mado in thc Texas Stats Convention, to-day, to base representation in thc Legislature on thc number of free persons in tho State, but it failed. The Committee on Legislatives Depart? ment expressed unqualified opposition to negro suffrage. Provision was made for the election of State officers as soon as practicable. The Finance Committee reported a sweep? ing ordinance, declaring all debts con? tracted by tho State in the lato war null and void, and forbidding the Legislature to assume the payment thereof. Dr. Goner made a minority report favor? ing unlimited suffrage. An order was passed making live years' residence in the State a necessary qualifica? tion for legislators. The President's veto of the Freedmen's Bureau bill has arrested the contemplated emigration of a largo numbor of Texans to foreign countries. Freedmen's affairs in Texas arc pro? gressing favorably. Goods at Houston are selling at twenty five per cont, below invoico prices. Tho report of tho abrogation of thc de? cree making Matamoras a free port was er? roneous. Tho decree makes duties payable at Matamorfs instead of thc interior. Mexican Items. NEW ?OEK, March 8.-The Herald's Mexi? can correspondence says that all the coun? try in tho neighborhood of Tampico is entirely in possession of thc Liberals. Communication with San Louis Potosi was cut off, but bas probably been re? opened in consequence of thc Imperial movement in that direction. Quantrell, the Missouri guerilla, is re? ported to be in Mexico. Maximilian baa created the grade of Field Marshal. General Mejia is to be the first appointment. Twenty millions of legal tender paper is to bo issued by tho Imperial Government*. The Belgian troops refused to fight under Gonerel Mendez, who shot Ortego, not caring if Belgian prisoners should bo shot in retaliation. Marshal Bazine wanted everv fifth of the offenders to be shot, but the Empress interfered in their behalf. Tho Belgians say that they are willing to go home in disgrace, but that they won't fight under Mendez. Marshal Bazaino is said to have inti? mated that he thought that there must bo a war with the United States. A heavy detachment of troops bas been sent to Queretero and San Louis Potosi. Tho newspaper Noticioso has been sus? pended for exposing tho falsity of asser? tions in tho French newspapers in Mexico. THE WHEAT Citor-TOBACCO.-By recent advices, we are in receipt of tho unwelcome intelligence that tho wheat crop of the State has been se? riously injured by the rigors of tlie winter just passed. Especially is this true of that largo portion of the State lying North of James River. It seems inevitable but that our impo? verished people shall be subjected to greater and longer continued priva? tions by another scant harvest. Tho Southern portions of thc State, wo are glad to learn, havo escaped the blight of winter that has fallen so heavily upon less favored latitudes. In all parts of the State, extensive preparations are being made to plant a great breadth of land in tobacco, and there is reason to hope that an unusually large crop of this valuable staple will be made, relieving, to some extent, the consequence of the failure of the wheat crop. At any? thing like present prices, tobacco will pay better than any crop that can be raised in the S^ate. -Richmond Times. - -. ... ANECDOTE OF GENEKAL JACKSON. While Gen. Jackson was connected with the army, an officer complained to him that some of the soldiers were making a great noise in a tent. "What are they doing?" asked tho General. "They are praying now, but havo been singing," was the reply. "And thal a crime?" asked Jackson, with emphasis. "The articles of war," said tho officer, "order punishment for any nu usual noise." "God forbid!" replied Jackson with much feeling, "that praying should be an unusual noise in my can ip," and advised the officer to join them. Gen. Scott is still in New Orleans, and not at,Pensacola, as reported. Front Europe. Thc New York 'papers, of Friday, bring UH later date? from Europe. Wo niako tho following extracts: ?\ revolution had broken out in Romania. Prince Gonza was taken prisoner by tho army'and forced to sign hi? abdication. The Legislature unanimously proclaimed Count Flanders Hospodar, amidst general satisfaction. Much excitement prevails in the neighboring principalities. The annual general meeting of thc share? holders in the Atlantic Telegraph Com? pany is called for the 8th March in London. After the transaction of tho ordinary busi? ness, the shareholders aro to resolve them? selves into an extratrdinary general meet? ing, "for tho puriH)sc of receiving from the Board a communication with reference to their arrangements for completing tele? graphic communication with America du? ring the present year, and an explanation of tho arrangements entered into with t'ic contractors and others in respect thereto," Ac. Rumors of a ministerial crisis wore still prevalent in Austria. Thc Prince Imperial had been appointed President of tho Committee of the French International Exhibition of 1HC>7. Tho functions of President arc to be discharged by the Minister of State. Arrests of Fenians continued. Full par? ticulars will bc found in our supplement sheet. TUE MEXICAN QUESTION. It is said that Baron Saillard, at the be? ginning of tho month, took his departure, charged with an extraordinary mission tc tho Government of thc Emperor Maxi? milian. The object of that mission, it is said, was to arrange thc necessary steps for thc speedy return home of our troops. Tho news recently receive?" from Mexico by waj of Havana, wo arc inclined to the opinion, lcavbs us to hope fully for tho success ot Si;. Saillard".; mission. According to a pro? position emanating from the Empero] Maximilian himself, it is regan.1...1, r u pos. sible that four or five thousand men wil have returned to France toward tho end o: the month of May. -Paris Pairie, Feb. 22 Tho United States will neither bo rc-as sured nor be satisfied in consequence o tho proposition to withdraw the abov? troops. This proof of good will they wil regard as more superficial than real, ant will consider France as stili in Mexico, ai long as her ilag continues to float there * * * Wc believe that the entent cannot bc re-established between Franc? and tho Washington Cabinet, until wc havi abandoned thc Emperor Maximilian to Iii: fate, and let Austria take care of liim i she thinks tit. [7'a?-?s Opinion Nationale, Feb. 23. OUB FINANCIAL POSITION ABROAD. The condition of financial affairs, aftc months of serious depression-anionntinj at intervals almost to alarm-has undei gone a marked chango within tho last fe^ days. Tho stringent policy pursued by th Bank of England has at length produce the result desired. The beneficial effect < a high rate of interest in restrainingundu expansion, and enforcing caution as t new committals, has never been mor strikingly manifested than during the pre sent winter. That there was absolut need of the restrictive course pursued b the bank has boen proved to demonstro f ion. Notwithstanding a rate of ?nteres in the London market exceeding by two o three per cent, that current on the Cont ucnt, tin; outflow of gold continued in steady st ream for weeks, and the exchange remained persistently adverse. Now tbs the tide has turned, and things have a; sumed a more cheerful aspect, there is on remarkable fact well calculated to attrat attention. While all other securities wer denres^?'1, and even consols were stcadil falling week after week, United States fiv< twenty bonds not only maintained the value, bnt gradually advanced from 03 t G7, and are now quoted ut GML Wbethc this exceptional result is justified by th state of traus-atlantic finances forms a sui ject worthy of close examination. Tl) amount of American securities afloat very great, and, as will presently be e.: plained, it is about to be vastly increase? The interests on investments in thei bonds, if deemed entirely secure, is big enough, even at their present prico, 1 tempt tlie withdrawal of capital from a< .antagt?ous and nsoful employment in oi own country; and, if American Goven ment stocks should become popular in oi market, tho absorption of capital would I sufficient seriously to affect commcrci and industrial enterprise -producing, i tho event of disaster, even widespread c; laniity. The writer then proceeds at length t show the insecurity of American linanc Tho day after the publication of tho art clo five-twenties advanced from ?M? to C'J The Americans in London celebrated tl anniversary of Washington's birth-day, c thc 22d of February, by a public banque at Willis' Rooms, St. James'. The decor tiona of thc room include?! a linc old po trait of Washington and a painting of M John Bright, M. 1'., placed above tl Chairman. The company numbered aboi two hundred ladies and gentlemen. Tl Hon. Freeman Morse, United States Coi sui in London, presided, and among tl guests were his Excellency (.'liarles Adams, American Minister to Londo: Ben j. Aloran, Secretary, andi). R. Alvar Assistai.' Secretary of Legation; Profess? Goldwin Smith, Professor Cairnes, Cyn W. Field, Mr. George Folsom, late Unit? States Charge d'Affairs at the Hague, A Letters of regret at inability to attend we road from numerous distinguished nie including Mr. Bright, who wrote tba although bc could not be present, 1 should rcjoico with Americans in tho gre triumph which they have witnessed ai accomplished during thc past year. Toas to the memory of Washington and Abr ham Lincoln were drank in silence; al one to the fallen heroes. The toasts to tl President, the Queen, Mr. Adams, t! American Minister, Ac, were receiv with nmch enthusiasm. Mr. Adams w warmly eulogized by the Chairman and 1 Mr. Mason Jones for the ability with whi he has conducted his mission. Mr. Adan in returning thanks, confined himself some brief expressions of thankfnlnc and patriotism, concluding with thc sen ment, "Tho preservation of tho Union-m tho restoration bo prompt and complet tho true foundation of happiness at hoi and respect abroad." DECLINE IN PRICES.-Tho New Yo Sun notes that last week the declii in wholesale prices was greater th: in any week since tho present dow ward movement commenced, ai says: "Standard domestic manufactui in the dry goods market receded price about twenty per cent., and t average reduction in imported goo was probably not less than twenl live per cent. Even at those] rcduc rates sales were very meagre, and is quite probable that thc decline v continue during the present wei In other branches of trade, there 1 also been a material reduction prices, although the per contage decline has not been so uniform ai tho dry goods market. It is ovid? that prices are now rapidly gravi! ing toward real values. Restaurant and Hotel Living in Sew Torie, Paris and London. A few years ago, the old American hotel system of tho table d'hote was general, and we might say almost universal, in this metropolis. It is still so in tho provincial cities and towns. But there has been a great change. The refined, educated and wealthy classes, both visitors and residents in tho city, who do not wish to keep house, now prefer the restau? rant plan. Some good hotels in the old stylo still flourish, it is true; but tho new are fast superseding them. Wo think this shows better taste. Tho only objection wo know of to it-and that naturally would come from the ladies-is, that this excellent way of living is calculated to make bachelors contented with a life of single-bless? edness. However, this need not be, ior our restaurant-hotels are as com? fortable for families as for single per? sons. The old system of hotel living has a good deal of tho mess-tablo character in it. Tho hungry expect? ant guests stand watching the opening of the dining-room and signal for operations, then rush in eagerly and gobble up their dinner hastily. There . is always the same everlastin g bill of fare, except that for the sake of va? riety the order of thc dishes named is changed sometimes. Every dish has a taste of every other, as if they had acquired an affinity by standing long and through proximity to each other in the kitchen. They certainly all smell alike. Then thc noise among thu vai^fj"*5" and tho clatter on tho table, the crowded and mixed condi? tion of things on tho table, and the jammed condition in which one hai> to sit, with scarcely room to stir tho arms, are features of tho table d'hote not at all comfortable. Wo admit that to some of our best hotels on this plan these remarks arc not so appli? cable ; but tho general character is the same everywhere. Wo say nothing about the enormous charges of $5 or moro a day for a little crib on the sixth story; wc refer only to tho mat? ter of eating. Compare this with the system that hjLS been coming into fashion for tho last few years, and that has now be? come quite fashionable-the elegant restaurant mode of living-and tho superior taste and advantages of thc latter will bo admitted at once. Take, for example, the Brcvoort House, Delmonico's, the Maison Doree, Hoff? man House, Albemarle and others that might be named, and where in ; thc world can one live better or moro elegantly? We have the best mar? ket, and ono in which everything can be obtained; the richest wines can be procured here, and the very first French cooles are to be found at tho places referred to. A gentleman or family may live at whatever rato their taste and purse prescribe. A person can live as cheaply, or, perhaps, for less than under the old system, if his tastes bc moderate, and more com? fortably; or he can live as extrava? gantly as he may ploase. Then what charming places they are for a dinner party, or for ajwlit souper after leav? ing tho places of amusement. New York, which is making such strides in everything as a groat metropolitan city, now combines the best features of hotel and restaurant life in Paris and London. Tho heavy, solemn, and what wo would call the strong appetite system of London does not prevail here, while wc uso as many of the elements of good living as the English. We have tho lightness, elegance, charm and finished cooking of the best restaurants in Paris, with moro substance, more liberality, and less that is mean, trilling or merely fanciful. In fact, we combine the best features of hotel-restaurant liv? ing of tho two great cities of Eurolie, without adopting their worst. Thcro is no place in thc world where a per? son or family can live better or more elegantly than in New York. [N~ew York Herald. SERIOUS NEWS, IF TRUE.-Serious news has come from San Francisco. Thc Flag has advices from Fort Ma? son, New Mexico, stating that tho Imperial commander at Magdalena, Sonora, with a band of Indians, had seized a freight train belonging to American citizens, and prohibited further transportation by American citizens. Colonel Lewis, command? ing at Fort Lewis, had been served with a demand by the Imperial com? mander for property taken by tho Liberals and sold to American mer? chants. Tho demand was sent to headquarters. These orders embold? ened tho Imperialists to invade American soil and murder and plun? der inoffensive persons. Gen orals McDowell and Mason refuse to allow Colonel Lewis and his mon to retaliate. DESERTERS FROM THE REBEL SER? VICE.-It has been decided that "de? serters from the rebel service, who wero transferred by competent au? thority from thc regiments in which they enlisted to servo in the North? west, and who were attached to regi? ments by the department commander, lose all connection with the regiment from which they were transferred, and will bo mustered out of tho ser? vice under direction of tho commis? sary of musters of the department, when cntitlod to muster out, as mem? bers of the organization to which they hav<? been transferred." Gen. Longstreet has been elected President of tho Great Southern and Western Accident Insuranco Com? pany. A patent "ladies'hair partor" is tho latest American invention. Irclaad. Tho following extracts arc from John Mitchell's lato Paris lotter to the New York News: ** Late performances in Ireland must have produced somo commotion on your side of the Atlantic. About two hundred mon (most of them Ameri? can citizens) suddenly arrested and i thrown into jail, without any charge against them ! So far as Ireland is concerned, indeed, this is but the old story repeating itself. A bill suspend? ing the habeas corpus rushed through both Houses of Parliament in thirty six hours, and then the jails imme? diately crammed with crowds of per? sons whom auy detective points out to tho Lord-Lieutenant as a danger? ous or suspected person. It is an ac? curate copy of what was done in '48. Thero was tho same headlong speed to pass an Act leaving all men's liber? ties entirely at the mercy of Dublin Castle; and then also thero were over ono hundred men arrested in various towns of Ireland, and not only thrust into prison, but dragged from ono prison to another in some distant place, in chains-without tho slightest object, except to "striko terror." Stanton c< mid scarcely do moro ! To Ireland, then, thc thing is an ordinary phenomenon; but what gives it somo additional interest on tho present oc? casion is, that most of those so thrust into dungeons, without charge, aro citizens of tho United States; citi? zens, too, who have served the United States in war. What will Mr. Seward say to this ? We all know, of course, that citiz* ns of thc United States, as well as ali other persons, aro amena? ble to tin laws of tho country they happen t-> be in; anet, if they break those law-, must take thc usual con? sequence: But here are men in chains who are not charged with breaking any law at all. What be? comes of Romamts sum? Perhaps it will bc assumed in Ame? rica-as it has been in England, though without a tittle of proof that thesa men went to Ireland upon some illegal errand. But though the British Government may assume this, or pretend this, it can scarcely be possible that thc American Govern? ment will assent to such a monstrous assumption. It is said, to bo sure, that before proceeding to these out? rageous extremities, Lord Bussell consulted Mr. Adams. It is scarce credible that an American Minister can have said to the English Govern? ment go ahead; they are only Irish after all! I suppose we shall have a sequel to this artair, at least in the shape of a long-winded correspondence. In the meantime, the desperate and wide-spread disaffection in Ireland is exciting surpriso everywhere outsido of the three kingdoms. Why wo had been led to believe-this is the com? mon remark-that Ireland had be? come prosperous and contented of late years. Besides, is not Ireland under tho very same laws and Consti? tution that governs England? Wc know that Ireland was misgoverned and hardly used in past times, bul that we thought was all over. Such is the sort of cant industriously in? culcated by the British press, which actually undertakes, and with much success, in concealing from all thc outside world the real facts of Irish government; for. rely upon it, who soever else may feel surprise at Irish disaffection, thc English don't. They know all about it, and the reasons ol it; and therefore it was very natura in their Parliament the other <' r tc vote against all inquiry into tho cause: of Irish discontent. Such an inquiry would have brought out into tho light of day such facts as tho following, which it is not thought judicious tc let foreign countries know: That ireland is not governed by tin samo laws as England. That, in England, it is legal ant usual to appoint delegates to meet ii some appointed place, and consul about their affairs; but in I rolan ( this is a ponai offence. That, in England, it is legal to poa seas arms, and to practice thc use o them; but in Ireland it is a transport able crime. That Englishmen may form volun teer companies for national d?fonce but that Irishmen may not. That, in England, thero is no sue" code of laws known as "crime am outrage Acts," "peace preservatio Act," and tho like, which in Irclan place all men's liberties and tho sane ti ty of their homes at tho mercy c tho Viceroy and his police. That, in England, "trial by jury means a trial before t^velvo ol th neighbors, impartially empaneled but, in Ireland, it means trial bcfoi twelve sure mon, skilfully packed b the Government. On any inquiry into the causes ? Irish discontent, such matters f these would become inconvenient] notorious; besides, tho fact that tl: poorest country in Europe sus tail the richest church (comparatively) o thc same Continent, whoso ministri tions, however, aro abhorred by tl people, and whose pastors are regare ed by them as ravening wolves. Inquiry, indeed! The English kno all these things already, and tho re of mankind have got nothing to c with it. So, no wonder the farli voteel against the O'Donoghue motion, and hurried through a law gag, to chain, to choke, somehow i anyhow, to suppress the wretch who pretend to bo discontented wi thc happy condition of Ireland. But, what eleves Mr. Sowa say to tho American citizens nc pining in dungeons, without ai charge against them? To Mr. Stan? ton, I know, it must appear very natural and quite right-but, Mr. Seward? OFFICIAL DENIALS.-The Now York Times has tho following paragraphs, which aro deemed semi-oificial : A story circulated through tho Houso to-day was, that thc President had pardoned the pirate Semmes. This was circulated very industriously ; by some of the leading radicals, for | tho purpose of proving how deeply involved tho President is with tho rebels. I have tho best authority for saying that it is utterly and totally false. It is apure fabrication for po? litical effect. Not only has there been no thought of pardoning him, but tho Cabinet to-day discussed the question as to thc proper form of tri? bunal for trying him, and the Attor? ney-General was called on for his opinion on that point. The still more preposterous rumor was circulated by tho same parties that thc President had sent for the Senators and members from tho rebel States, assuring them that he is now ready to maintain their claims to seats. This is totally false, without a shadow of foundation in truth. The Tribune of to-day has a des? patch saying that Secretary Seward boasted to a Pennsylvania member that ho was thc author of thc Presi? dent's policy of reconstruction. This is a flagrant and malicious perversion of a conversation held by thc Secre? tary with Mr. Scofiold, distorted and circulated for political purposes. These desperate reports on tho part of thc radicals indicate anything but a confidence in tho merits of their cause. They will find all these false? hoods re-acting upon them with ter? rible effect. ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.-Au eclipse of the moon will take place on the 30th and 31st of this month. The beginning of thc eclipse will be at 9.30 in the evening; beginning of the total phase, 10.37; middle of thc total phase, 11.27; end of the total phase, 31st March, 12.10 a. m. ; end of tho eclipse, 1.23a. m.; duration of the total eclipse, 1 hour and 39 minutes; duration of tho whole eclipse, 3 hours and 52 minutes. Thc phenomenon of a total eclipse occurs so seldom we hope tho night of the 30th will be clear, in order that tho event may be witnessed. Archbishop Spalding, of Baltimore, has been appointed Apostolic Dele? gate by the Popo, with authority to convene a council of all the Roman Catholic Archbishops and Bishops of tho United States, and to preside over thc same. The meeting will take place in Baltimore, in September or October. A whole village in Upper Hessin, Germany, is reported to have sold out, and will remove to Missouri in the spring. The harbor at Halifax, Nova Scotia, is ice-bound from the basin to the beach, and is likely to continuo so for some time to come. A largo meeting was held in Buffalo, New York, on the 3d, in support of President Johnson and his veto mes? sage. COMSXEIlCIA.li A VD FINANCIAL.
