TenonTo, Nov. 7.—In the case relating to the Suspension of the Bank of Upper Canada the 60 days grace allowed by law for the redemp- tion of specie payments will expire roxt week when the affairs of the Bank will, probably, be iaced in the bands of assignees and sound up. Kecantime parties indebted to the Bank bave the privilege of setiling their indebtedness in notes on the Bank at par. After assignment this can no longer be done. Connwatt, UC.

In Missou there is a Republican gain of one Congressman* and in the States of Illinois, Minnesota, Michi- gan, Wisconsin and Nevada, according to the returns received the position of aifairs seems to be unchanged since I*#4, all tending to the conclusion that on Tuesday Iast there were elected about sixty-nine or seventy Republi- cans in the House of Representatives totwenty or twenty-one Democrats. With the members already elected, and those yet to be chosen in Connecticut, California, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Tennessee, it Seems to be established that in the next House the Republicans will have more than two-thirds of the members, while in the Senate there will be an increase of Republicanstrength. A Conservative will come in place of Senator Creswell, of Maryland, but there will be an offset to that in the election of a Republican in New Jercey. Illinois will elect a Republican Senator, Kansas wil! choose two, and Missouri, New York, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wis- consi will each elect one. The next Senate will, therefore, stand about forty-four Re- peblicans to eight Democrats—more than a three-fourths majority for the former party. The Republican majorities in the States which voted on Tuesday are estimated at about 232,- 00, making, with the result of the October elections, at least 432.000 majority in the North- ern State: javor of the dominant party. New Books. Poems ann BaLLaps. By Algernon Chartes Swimburne. New York: Carleton. For sale in this city by Philp & Solomon. This is the book of sensuous poems that is just now re- celving the execrations of the English critics. It seems to be written, like Charles Reade’s “Griffith Gaunt” and Walt Whitman's “Leaves ef Grass,” in a spirit of protest to what Reade terms the “prurient prudisbuess” of the age. itis hardly fair, however, to Reade or Whit- map to class their productions on the score of sensuality with the “Poems aud Ballads.” Swinburne out-Eyrons Byron in idealized | A variety of Useful and Oru smental Articl erossness. According to Swmburne. whatever ss natural is right, and being right, it is right to describe it. He bas not the instinct of shame that teaches even the lowest savage. to cover bis naxedness. The Swinbuarnman grossness is disguised in vigorous. felicitous language, which will probably save it from the fate of the obscene books pounced upon by the police: but it is not one whit less mischievous on that account. OPR ARTIST IN PERU. By George W. Uari- ton. New York: Carleton. For sale in this city by Philp & Solomon. This is ihe title of & series of graphic sketches with the pen and pencil by George W. Carleton, of which he is both author and publisher. The sketches are Hifty im number, and give s capital idea of the manners snd cusioms of the Peruvians better than profound volumes of description. Tux BIGLow Papers. Second series. tom: Ticknor & Fields. For sale in this city by Hudson Taylor. In the humorous preface tojthis collection im book form of the latter day “Biglow Papers,” the author (James Russeil Lowell) announces that he shall never write any more Biglow papers—unless under grest Tovocation. The admirers of quaint Yankee nd umor will find it aptly expressed in this} ™ : orde: ———— TSE ASSOCIATED PRESS AGENCY.—A rup- ture bas occurred betwees the New York As- sociated Press and its general agent, Mr. D. H. Craig, resulting in the withdrawal of the latter from the concern. He is establishing an opposition press telegraphic ageacy, and Mr. James Simonton, formerly connected with the New York Times, and latterly with the San Francisco Bulletin, succeeds Mr. Craig as the Associated Press general agent. pei Seiiceals eas OvstTers yor t NHEALTHY.—Leading phy. sicians ef Philadelphia have united in decia- Ting sound oysters to be & perfectly healthful arucle of food even in cholera times.

Hoffman was arrested a few days since by detectives Clarvoe and Me Devitt, on two war- rants. one of which charges him with having fired his store, which, it will be recollected, wis burnt out on the 15h of January iaet. and the other with wiltully and corruptly swear- ing before Justice Walter to certain falsehoods against the Park Insurance Company of New York. Mr. Jobnson moved that the warrant charg- ing perjury be dismissed, and Mr. Webb as- senting, tbat charge Was abandoned. Mir, John McKenney, the agent of the Park Insurance hye ean was first sworn, and testified that be knew the defendant, who kept 8 ‘obacco and cigar store at No. 415 Pennsyi- venia avenue. The premises were burat on the morning of the 13th of January. Witness was agent for two companies in which the accused was insured. and after the fire, went down to see the premises. Hoffman then gave him notice as agent that he was burnt out. A few days after the fire, he, with another agent of the company, examined the premises. Under a shelt they found a large number of empty cigar boxes, and near the south end of the room a quantity of kindling wood. The boxes were arranged in rows, and between them was cotton saturated with campbene or coal oil. Uuder the lock of the door they found @ quantity of half barned matches. Around the lock on both sides there was evidence that cot- ton had been stuck to the door. Im the passage there were marks as if a match had been light- ed on the wall. 4 On cross-examination witness sthted that when be made the examiuation it may have been four, five or six days after the fire. The accused made an affidavit before the witness Shortly after the examinanon. Witness was summoned betore the Grand Jury, and gaye the same testimony there as he had here. Mr. Henry Seitz was cailed to testify to the accused having moved some of bis goods pre. vious to the fire. Mr. Johnson objected, and after argument the Justice decided to hear the testimony.
