TTTAR WITH RUSSIA.—At the preYY sent juncture it would be difficult for’ Boy one exc pt a prophet of the highest rank to say whether or not the present negotiations between England and Russia will lead to a general European war, or whether they will end in smoke. The absence of full information as to what is transpiring between two countries may indicate that the political breeze is blowing harmlessly past ; or, it may be the awful silence which generally precedes a 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. Now 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 of Winter Tweeds and other materials necessary to a wellequipped tailoring establishment, wh-ch wo are prepared to offar at unusually low prices for cash Regarding style and fit, it is almost needless for ns to repeat what everybody knows, viz , that by our scientific mode of catting, and th- care exerused by us in fitting the figure, a mis-fit j« an Impossibility. — Craighead and Co., Merchant, Tailors, Tancred street.
