Business Notices. WAR WITH RUSSIA.—At the pret sent juncture it would be difficule for any one except a prophet of th 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 smoko. 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 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 l»y in a stock of clothing, before the g moral ad vance begins. In ordw that we may not be caught napping we have just purchased a Splendid Assortment of Winter Tweeds and other mateiails necessary to a well equipped tailoring establishment, which wo aro prepared to'offer at unusually low prices for cash. Regarding style and fit, it is almost needless for us to repeat what everbody knows, viz, that by our scien tific mode of catting, and the care exer cised by us in fitting the figure, a mis-fit is an impossibility.— Craighkad a»d Co., Merchant Tailors, Tailored street.
