RxPonTs of the Fall Shows, have almost entirely excluded, editorial matter in this issue. - • EUROPEAN ,OOMPLIOATIONS. • WITH the conclusion of the Franco-Prus: sian war—whenever that may be—tlfere is no prospect that the peace of Europe will be, by any means, atestored. This war appears _ , to be only the commencement of a -train of events, which will probably mark the pres- ent year as an aasoch in the history of the Continent. Its breaking out was a signal, for every power that had any object in view, to rally foritsrealization. Accordingly, as -an indirect outgrowth of it, we have the virtual abdication of Roane by the Pope, and King Victoria Erankaaluel in possession; and the 'Czar of Russia; asgisted by Austria, deems the present a favorable opportunity for car- rying out his pet scheme—tkie acquisition of Turkey—in which he wa.a tso successfully thwarted in 1854 by the allied arms of Tar- , key., England, Prussia and France. At that time, Russia, though defeated, did not, for a moment relinquish her flrstintention ; and new aided, it would seem, by Austria, thaeatens Turkey in a formidable manner. France,thathasakalong battled side by side with Turkey, England, and Prussia, in re- straining the selfish proalivities of Russia, is now too busily engaged with her own affairs to put in a hand of intervention. Of Prussia the same, substantially, may be said'. It thus falls upon the shoulders Of England and Turkey, alone; to 'withstand the movement that has the acquisition of Tur- key for its object, the extension of the pow- er of the Czar over Constantinaple, of course, being included in its aira. That accom- plished, and the Black- Sea will have be- come a Russian Lake, an end so long covet- ed, What steps England will take remain to be seem Whether or not she will take an active part in the diatter, is a question not admitting of easy solution. rhe great- est prompter to lead her to step in, is, prob- ably, a fear for the safety of her Indian pos- . sessions. One trung, however, is certain: without the assistance of England, or .some other powerful nation, t Turkey could not make the first show of -a fight widi Russia. During the last halfprtury, her strength has been rapidly declining, until she now rates amongst the feeblest Powers. When. the struggle will begin, how it will end, and what will come of it, are Troblems that futtuity alone can answer. The world anxiously awaits further developments. NORTH HURON FALL SHOW. • On itesday and Wednesday last, the above ekhlbition came off, at the village of Clinton. We believe the display was, in no department, inferior to that of any pre- vious year;:while in some it excelled any preceeding one. INSIDE. Inside the Hall, the display did not show any marked improvement en former occa- sions, still, it was limy good. The centre table, and racks, were almost monopolized with ladies' Work ; amongst 'which quilts, counterpanes, etc., figured very largely. The greatest display of butter, we ever wit- nessed at a county show, was 'heie. Vege- tables were -very good. Ftuit I was deficient , both in quality and quantity, save in apples, which were really seperior. • OUTSIDE DEPARTMENT. This department was by all odds the cream of the Show. The horses and cattle were perhaps unsurpassable. We noticed that Mr. Thos. McMichael, of Hullett, was a large exhibitor of horses, and Mr. McDon- agh, of CoP-Jorne, had his herd of fine cat- tle present. A curiosity, in its waY, as was evidenced by the crowd following it, v. -as the nainatine horse and buggy, owned,, by Geo. Ewing, and driven biahisilittle son. Sheep, and some of great excellence, were on the grounds in large numbers. In poultry the display was rather meagre. In - implements the show was not very large, but the articles all appeared to possess more than ordinary merit. Cantelon Bro's. ex- hibited 2 lumber waggons, 1 buggy; and 1 -double carriage ; all of these vehicles were worthy of special note. Leslie & Holmes, also, had some fine Vehicles on exhibition. Graham Williamson's fine plows were much admired. We regret that 0, scareety of tatith time and space, precludes the poSsibil- ity of more extended notice further than . . giving • THE PRIZE LIST.

The show of Live Stock was, on the whole, remarkably -good. In horaea there were over 630 entries, a large por- tion of which represenaed the agricultural class, and a still greater number were en- tered as iaiad or carriage horses. The play oF code was also quite a success, and the short -horn breed NVa8 particulariy well represented. The total number of ,entries exceeded 330, of which one-third were Dur hams. Of Sheep, there were over 350 entries, principally Leicesters The Swine classes were not sa we,1 represented. Berk- shire pigs domineered, but there was a large proportion of empty pens. The -show • of Poultry was perhaps as fine as aniaprevioas exhibition noted, excluding the Provincial. There were 500 entries. In the department 'of Implements,' though t!le ground assigned for the display was only\ suarse1y1 filled, there wits a very creditable show.. The en- tries exceeded 200,, and there. was a faia proportion of the nil -ions articles of machin. ery employed in agricultural labor. The • Horticultural display was unesually good. The building set apart for this department is very. capacious. It WaS fairly filled, ;led in some respects the show compared to ad- vantage even with the Provincial Fair last year. In, the Industrial department there was only .n. average display. The Crystal Palace was by no means filled, and the va- riety of articles was limited., The ladies had not a large display of their handiwork, .lant _what .was on exhibitiOn, generally speaking, exhibited a great deal of taste and skill. For the $100 prize for instremental bands, there was but one competitor, the 7th Battalion band of London. The at tendance of spectators, each day, was very large. On Tuesday about 7,000 admissi6n' tickets were sold. • Sir John Young, GovernOr-General of Canada, has been made a Peer of the Real m with the title of Baron Lisgar.
