WAR WITH RUSSIA. —At the [.resent juncture it would be difficult for any one exe pfc a prophet of the highest rank to say whether or not the present negotiations between England and Russia wilt lead to a general European war, or whether they will end in smoke. The absence of full information as to what is transpiring between the two countries may indicate that the political breeze is blowing harmlessly past ; or, it may be the awful silence which generally precedes s storm. In either case, we ought to be prepared for the worst. If a general war breaks out the price of nearly every article of commerce will rise. Among, other commodities wool and labor will go up. Kow is the time, therefore, to lay in a stock of clothing, before the general advance begins. In order that we may not be caught napping we have just purchased a Splendid Assortment 6f Winter Tweeds and other ifcaterials necessary to a welleqnipped tailoring establishment, which we are.piepared to offer at unusually low prices for cash. Regarding style and fit, it ia almost needless for ns to repeat what everybody knows, viz , that by out scientific mode of cutting, and the care exercised by us in filth g the figure, a mis-fit i«an Impossibility— Craiohead ai> - d Co., Merchant lailota, Tancred street.
