At about S o'clock, we could see that the people below were having their sunset, although wo wore in a full blare of light. The prairie* looked like vast Helds of polar ice. slightly tinged with green, but quite destitute ttf luminous properties. Be tween u* uud them hung suspended evidently, a dark and almost opaque belt, which seemed like a veil drawn over the country.

Very gradually the darkens* stole up from be low. it was as though invisible hands were lift ing up the veil a* it approached and enveloped us. in a few moments the sun left us, disappear ing in a ha*,v. luminous bAiik of red. it did not become dark. Throughout tho night, we wore aide at all times to distinguish tho prairies from the wooded country below, even when at an alti tude of two miles. We were floating in a sort of transparent vq**r, which without posses*ing any perceptible bo.ty, yet seemed to be made up of la miaous particles. The effect of the light was very peculiar.

Journal, gives the following account of an affair which, however it may move the laughter of our renders, wo fancy to have made some of tho parties concerned “laugh on the wrong side <>f their mouths :” . “Home time ago there was a dancing party giv en ‘up north ;’ most of the ladies present laid lit tle babies, whose noisy perversity required too much attention to permit the mother* to enjoy the dance. A number of gallant youn-r men volun - teered to watch the young one* while the parent indulged in a ‘break down.’ No sooner had the women left the babies in charge of the mischiev ous devils, than they stripped the infants, chang ed their clothes, giving to ono the gppare! of gu other. The dance over, it whs time to go home, and the mothers hurriedly took <uwd a baby, in tho droae of her own, and started, some to their homo*, ten or fifteen miles oft', and were far un their way before daylight.

Tit© war aloue Ik sutVicicut to keep down prices., and yet the Havre market, of all others, the on® most likely to be affeoted by it, i* reported adv ancmg, and this in the face of remarkably heavy imports, at one tint® IUO,tMMt halo* in excess of last year. The report by the Canada states that exporters took I 1.4U0 hales the week she sailed; Ibis does not show a want of confidence on the contimmt. England if always a “bear” in the cotton tradu, and any argument they can make use of to keep down price*, is unhesitatingly used. They have in tho immense stock at Liverpool ol 717. tutu bales, a strong argument in their favor; but even with this, they cannot obtain auy concessions, except on the very poor and trashy styles. It is to ho exported that where so much cotton is hold someone will be compelled to sell, ami the buy or* there, wo dare any, are quite us dilligent m hunting out tho week spots, a* our buyer* *m the “Hay’ are. It i# a well known fact, that the spinners of Manchester are making cho most extravagant profits, and have been doing so all the winter past -wehave heard it estimated a.s high as S2O u bale. As long uk they can make halt’ this, there will be no cry of short time, though they will only purchase, a* they have been doing, barely enough to keep everything in motion. Tho exports from this eouutry have erased, and the present heavy stock at Liverpool will soon commence to dwindle, and without a hope of any accession# from us. With these lights before uk, it snouts impossi ble to arrive at any other conclusion than that prices must advance materially, and at’ no very distant day.

Napoleon promptly accepted tho challenge, and commenced the attack ;ut soon as it was light this morning, by placing cannon upon the hills still nearer to t wdiglion© than those held by the Aus trians, ami ..jailing fire upon them on the heights beyond, lie look bis own stand aj>on the high est of these—tt steep, sharp-backed ridge, wh ch commands n maguitieeni vie w of the entire circuit of the plain, and from that point directed the en tire movements of hi* army during the early por tion of the day. The French very soon drove the enemy out of the post* they held nearest to the town, and followed them into the small village* of the plain befow. The first of these was Sol ferino, where they had a sharp and protracted engagement. The Austrians disputed every inch of the ground, and fought here, a* they did throughout the day, with the utmost desperation. They were thn- timet driven out of the town, before they would tiny out. The people of the village, moreover, took part against the French, upon whom they fired from their windows, anil the French were compelled, in self-defence to burn the town. When they found it impossible to hold their ground any longer, they fell back, slowly and steadily, until they reached the village of T<dta, which, a# you will sec by tho map, lies di rectly south-east from Castigiione, and is only about a mile frmn the river Mtncio, from which, however, it is separated by a range of hills. lp on these hills, in the rear of the town, and over looking it completely on the .South ami south cb.o sides, the Austrian* hud planted very formidable Invtteritw ; and when 1 arrived upon the field and went at oney t the height were the Emperor had siood at toe opening of the engagement, hut which he hiul left an hour before to follow his victorious troop*, these batteries were Maxing away on the French win* were stationed on the plain Mow. I was too far off to observe with any Accuracy the successive steps of the action, but 1 Could distinctly see the troop* stationed up on the broad plain, and morlng up in masses to wards the front, where tho artillery was posted, as their service* were required. But as soon tis they reached this point they were speedily envel oped in the suioku of the canuon, and dissapjofar ®d from observation. Hut the geuerul result was soon made evident by the slackening of the Aus trian fire, and by the falling back of their smoke and a corresponding udvanc© in the part of that which raw from the French artillery. The can nounding *t that point lasted for over an hour: but in precisely whnt direction the Austrians re tmated, ir was not pwatHbhh fiun the positimi l oceupiiwl, to .-.‘f, I was afraid to chaoc.: it, more over. Wuw, although I might easily have gone more directly and closely upon the field, f could urn have found any eminence upon the plain from ivhieh I could have had *o *woeptog and complete n view. Part of the Austrian force probably crossed the Mincio Kiver, which flows southward from the lokrer end of Lake (Suarda, and empties into the Po. Hut the baffle continued to rage all over the region north- west of a line connecting the towns ofCtwtiglione, Hoi ferine and Volta. Atonepoint alt-r another a sharp cannonading would arise and continue for half or three-quarter# of an hour --and alter each successive engagement of this kind, the result became apparent in the retreat of the Austrian* and the advance of the French f >t<\ During all tho early part of the day the sky had been clear and the weather hot. Hut clouds began to gather at about noon, and ut 5 o’clock, while the cannonade was at its height, a truuicudous thunder-storm rolled up from the north-west; the wind eatoa first, sweeping from the parched streets an enormous cloud of dust, and was soon followed by u heavy fall of ruin, accompanied by vivid lightniug and rapid explo sion* of raUliug thunder. The storm lasted for about au hour, and the cannonading, so far as we could distinguish, was suspended. Then the rain ceased, the clouds blew away, the sun shone out again and the air was (moled and perfectly delightful. Though the cannon may have ceas ed l'ur a time to take part in it, the fight had meantime gone on,—and when I again resumed tny post of obeervation, from which the storm had expelled me, the cannonading commenced quite ou the extreme left of the entire field and on the very border# of the lake, north-east from Castiglione and west pesebiera. The Peidmontese troops under the King who command# them in person, had been posted there and received the Austrians as they came around. From about 7 o’clock until after night-fall an m ocssant and tnn*t terrible combat was her* kept Ml! 11 ! IL J up. The batteries of the two armies were uppar etrtiy aluttt halfa mile apart,—aud at the outset they were both served with nearly equal and es factive v igut. But the Austrians gradually slack ened their fire and several times t*>sk up new jra -itioiis, —while the Surdiumus poured a rapid a4 luiiwt*, irupted shower ol balls upon them, — ‘tspending only for a few tiiiuutcs a! n tiuas, and then renewing it again withrmlonMoil fury. Tho wind had now gone down, the air was -till, and the sound of luusktiry, a* wWJ a* the ennn<ui wax distinctly heard. Thu farnter eras eottlinu- Ut>, .-.harp and incessant, sounding like the con stant aid irregular pattering of hail upajl a roof, whilo the initer wav oceasionally sti-pcnded, hut while it lasted was overwhelmingly grand and terrible. Over the Sardinian park rose * dense white cloud of smoke, directly upwards, its sides perfectly upright and well defined, and spreading outward both wavs at the top like an euoratoua sheaf'of'wheat. The suit was making a glorious soiling iu the west, and as hi# light gradually de parted, tlic vivid flashes at each discharge of the < ftiiuon gleamed through the smoke like sharp lightning through the breast of au enormous cloud. B<iotc‘times only a single flash would 1m -ecu. then two ir three at oucc, and sometime# halfa doxen would break forth in an instant suc cession It was l>egiuniug to bo dark when I turned to descend the hill, and all the way down T till board the roar of the cannon and the clat tering of the gun# of tho infantry. But the Aua irian.s were dearly falling back, and could scarce ly have failed to sustain a total rout. It i# pos - sible they may be in condition to tunke one more struggle in the morning, but. judging from ray own observation, it i# certainly not probable.*- They have .-ustained au overwhelming defeat,and it .-mein* fa uie not unlikely that the Emperor may now be induced, by tbe representation# of the neutral Power#, fa accept the peace which Na poleon will be very likely ao tender him. I aut afraid to venture upon any conjecture as to the number of killed and wounded in this bat ik* ; but from the nature of the ca#e it must be enormous. lam confident that not lev# than re thorn*and wounded have been brought into this village alone during the day—to say nothing of those that were left on the field or taken to other places.
