of the young, is to mul iply ihe souic a of ihe moral and material weli-oeing of présent and future generations; it.is to cbuiribute in elevating our population to that rank which it ought 10 occupy among those, by which it is surrounded, and it in the first duty of the legislature.to occupy itsed with a subject of such vast imp stance.In ihe opinion of all, the present system is of little avail It is necessary, then, to Seek for a remedy b> which the necessary force and vigour may be secured to surmount every obstacle and to render education popular and universal.To render the Legislative Council elective, as well as a great numoerof offices, the nominations for which are now vested in the Government, to diminish the patronage of the Executive and its means of influence an i corruption, is to give to the legislative body and to the servants of the public that independence, which they cannot possess under the system now in operation.The abolition of the Seigniorial Tenure, while assuring to the Seigniors a just indemnity ; the settlement of the question of the Clergv Reserves ; reciprocal free trade with the United States on just and reasonable principles ; the reduction of duties on importations ; such are the principal measures which ought immediately to engage the attention of the Legislature.Another question of great importance ought, ere long, to come under the consideration of your representatives.Should the seat of government continue alternative, or ought it to be fixed ?The ambulatory system has already borne its natural fruits, and public opinion has irrevocably condemned it.In the discussions which will arise for fixing in a permanent manner the place of meeting of the legislature, the claims of Montreal may justly be adduced\u2014her central position and other advantages cannot be forgotten.Free trade with the United States, and the free navigation of the St.Lawrence will still more increase the inconvenience now felt from the insufficiency of our harbour.Its enlargement will become a matter of absolute necessity, and I hope that the surveys now beiug made, under the superintendence of men selected by the citizens and Corporation, will indicate in a satisfactory manner, the most proper means of providing for the wants of our increasing commerce, in accordance with the general interests of our citizens.Montreal is destined to become the entrepot of an immense commerce with the Western Countries, and every measure which tends to develop that commerce, thus furthering the prosperity of the city, will meet my most cordial support.The opportunity of connecting the waters of the at.Lawrence with those of Lake Champlain, at some point opposite or near the City of Montreal, by means of a Canal, ought naturally to receive the favorable attention of the public, under the new circumstances in which our commercial relations with the United btates are about to be placed, but the interests of Montreal in vir*vv of the general inierests of the country, ought to weigh in the balance in determining, me locality.In soliciting your suffrages, it is scarcely necessary for me to declare that I shall nlace myself in direct opposition to the present Ministry.Nearly three years have elapsed since tney attained office, and the Seigniorial Tenure still remains unchanged, the queslion of the Clergy Reserves is still unsettled, we have no Elective Legislative Council, and little hope of obtaining oue, the municipal system has not been ameliorated, education makes no progress fiom the want of teachers, and the law passed in 1851, for the establishment of a Normal School, remains unexecuted.The Constitution, which provides that a year shall never pass without a Session of the Legislature, the spirit of which is to secure a Session every year, has b en interpreted by the present alinistiy, in such a manner as only affords the count! j one Session of lia Parliament in three years.A dissolution, untimely and arbitrary, has been made, wiihoui consideration of the urgency of certain measures, which the Assemolj otf'erea to pass.It is under these circumstances and with no other gaarau ee but ihe same promises that they made in 1851, that the aamiinsirati m appeals to the country from the condemnation prououuced against it by the Legislative Assembly.There requires nothing more to justify m\\ want of 'confidence in that administration, bm I feel that I should not have expressed my opinion upon one of the gravest of questions, if ! did not explicitely repudiate the principle leceutiy »tni forth in the Assembly by th«r chief ot tne Cabi u^i, that a minister might speculate in ihe p tuir securities and in the public land , like any other individual The immoral tendencies of Such doctrines rouid not fail to con er w ith such a disgrace as would iiievuably ivfleet upon ihe c.un-\u2022 r> iiSeif, men, who, forgeif'ui ot the dunes ot their i igh position, wou;d desc.-rid to piay the part of htuCo.jobbers and } lice their ovin piivate interests above thoae of the public.Should these priucioles inert with your approval and should you place me in the honorable and distinguished position of representing in Parliament the first city m Canada, my most constant efforts will be directed towards the means of attaining those advantages, which must result from their beiug reduced to practice.I have the honor, to be, Gentlemen, Your very obdt.servant, A.A.DORION.Montreal, 1st July, 1854.\t107 TO THE Ei.ECTOHS OF THE COUNTY OF MONTCALM.GENTLEMEN,\u2014In conformity to tbe desires of a great number of friends, I accept the honor of becoming a Candidate lor the County to represent you iu the next Parliament.Belonging to the liberal party, as you all know, and having always claimed equal rights and equal justice between the different origins, in order to secure to each an equal share ot civil,' political and religious liberty, I nevertheless think that it is necessary to declare my political opinions, and to express my views upon the different measures which may most specially and seriously occupy the attention of your legislators.Although I approve the sentiments of the majority of the members who have lately voted against the ministry, I will cordially support any administration disposed to push forward the great reforms demanded by the country, amongst which the following should rank first : 1.The abolition of the Seigniorial Tenure upon an equitable basis.2.Decentralization of affairs in order to prevent local rivalry, and allow the people to transact their affairs at a smaller expense, and with greater facility.3.\u2014Reciprocity of trade with the United States.4.Re.duotion of duties on imported goods, for the purpose of proportioning the income to the necessary expenses of the public service only.5.Application of the elective principle to the Legislative Council, as well as to other officers now appointed by the Crown, so that the people may possess more influence over their officers and servants.6.\u2014I reject the principle admitted by the administration, that the members of the Government can speculate, like any other individuals, in the public funds of the Province.I will not fail to examine faithfully the expenditure of the public revenue, in order to prevent dilapidations, and to never allow the establishment of sinecures.Such are the principal reforms which I will endeavor to obtain, and the views which will guide my conduct if I have the honor to represent you in Parliament.I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your most

tbe Government to speculate in the public fimds and property, and in his attempt ihereby to excuse his own participation in the purchase of public lands.Under the influence of such a privilege, the integrity of an Admin Utration must be measured by the occasions uuder its control for tbe disposal of the public properly or funds; and jobbing and corruption would, at last, become the chief objects for acceptance of Office.AJy public conduct as a Member of Parliament as well previous to, as during my connection with the representation of this city, is before you for your judgment, but at this crisis, it is proper that I should briefly state my views upon some of the great interests that affect the Province.I shall continue to give my best efforts for the promotion of a sound education throughout the laud ; for the immediate abolition of the feudal tenure in Lower Canada with a fair indemnity; for the increase of trade generally iu the Province (or the reduction of duties on the nec ssa-ries of life for popular comfort, and upon ail materials which enter into and supply our manufactures, aud for their promotion and encouragement; for the construction of a water communication

transit for intercourse with the rapidly increasingWestern countries of this continent.in the maintenance of union and harmony among all classes of my fellow-subjects, the necessity can neither be concealed nor denied for just, early and final legislation on the subject of the Clergy Reserves: whilst the application of the elective principle, if d mande! by the voice of tbe country, to tbe composition of the Legislative Council, in place of the present nomination system, should be adapted to the situation and wants of the Province upon a basis afforded by tbe favorable experience of a similar institution in the United States, instead of the theoretical models of Continental European Governments.Adverting to a subject which has become of paramount importance to Canada, it is my conviction that no minor consideration should be permitted to interfere with the prosecution of the great lines of Railway communication now in progress.At the same time, it must te evident that the present system of direction by Members of ihe Administration is altogether reprehensible and that a proper supervision is required, which can only be secured from an independent and responsible Board into whose hands the Provincial interests in the advance and application of the public funds, and in the steady promotion of the important works themselves, may be safely and unhesitatingly entrusted.Through their instru-menlality aud exertions the establishment of works in the Province for the manufacture of the Roal-plant, and the profit accruing therefrom might be secured for ourselves instead of being applied to build up extensive establishments abroad at the expense of large amounts of the Provincial Funds.Ay opposition to the costly and objectionable system ot alternate Parliaments in either section of the Pr-tvince, and my support of a fixed and permanent seat for the Legislature, shall be continued; and in the selection of a location, the admitted ciaims of

public men.1\tshall advocate the immediate and total abolition of the Seigniorial Tenure, having respect to the just rights of all classes affected.Believing that the reservation of a large portion of the lands of the Province for the endowment of religion has been the fruitfnl source of Civil and Religious discord, which will only terminate with the removal of the cause, I shall advocate the immediate aud absolute secularization of the Clergy Reserves.I will support any judicious proposition for rendering the Legislative Council elective.I am opposed to the present system of alternate parliaments, and believing that all the considerations which prompted the selection of Montreal as the permanent seat of Government in 1843 exist with equal, if not superior, force now, I shall strive to restore to our city the position of which she was weakly and unjustly deprived.I would support, or if necessary propose, a law providing for the meeting of parliament at fixed periods.I desire to see our canal system completed by the early construction of a ship canal to connect Montreal with the waters of Lake Champlain ; and the early completion of the projected Lines of Railway centring here, especially the one designed to connect us with the magnificent Ottawa valley, Montreal being the natural, as she should be the only, city to which that vast region should look for her market aud her supplies.All projects of local improvements, designed to benefit our city, or any section thereof, will receive my warmest support.Having thus, gentlemen, placed my views frankly before you, if

but it being expressly stated, in the last clause of the latter Act, that \u201c its provisions, as lo the use and effect of the Lists of Voters, shall not apply to any Election for which the first polling-day shall be before the first day of January, 1855,\u2019\u2019 it is evident that, excepting under the provisions of the former Act, no elec* tion could possibly be held before next January As such a provision would have been clearly in contravention of the Act of Union and of the Constitution of the Province, no such interpretation can be put upon the contradictory\u2014verbally at least\u2014provisions of the new Franchise Law, and, so far as the right of the franchise is concerned, everything must be determined by the provisions of the Act Viet 12 Chap.27\u2014 although these provisions, in other respects (that is, in such respects as do not apply to any «lection before the 1st of January next,) are clearly and distinctly repealed and inoperative.One thing appears to ns indisputable\u2014namely, that, if the new law be in force, so far as the right to the franchise is in issue, only those can be entitled to vote, whose names, in accordance with the 9 th clause of the Act, shall be found upon the copy of the List of Voters, prepared by the Secretary-Treasurer or Clerk of the Municipality, and furnished by him to the Deputy Returning Officer; and that as no such list has been prepared, or can now be prepared within the required time, if the law be in force, no election can take place, because no man can, under it, have any legal right to vote.We repeat, therefore, that, as it cannot be even argued that the Legislature contemplated suspending the consti-tntion and depriving the electors of their franchise, it can only be held that, however loosely expressed, it did intend to maintain the provisions of the old law regulating the franchise, until the first day of January, 1855, when, and not until when, those of the new were to come into force.Olergy Reserves.\u2014We have given our opinion of the recent, singular and unexpected, declaration of the Duke of Newcastle upon the secularization of these religious endowments, in which His Grace referred to certain conversations he had held with Lord Elgin and Mr.Hincks upon the subject.We freely expressed our impression that, unless the Duke had misapprehended Lord Elgin and his premier, it was ' «vident they Qhe noble lord and the astute financier) had been guilty of the most gross deception and double-dealing towards the people of Canada ; but, notwithstanding what we could not help, considering the very suspicious circumstances of the case, we were certainly not prepared for the following, which, as will be observed, purports to be a simple narration of facts :\u2014 Clsbqy Reserves.-r-It was stated by the Duke of Newcastle in reply to some remarks of Lord Derby in the House of Lords, that both Lord Elgin and Mr.Hincks had assured him that there was not the slightest chance of such a misappropriation of funds specially as they considered set apart for the maintenance of religion, and that both of them would use every means to prevent it should it ever be by any party contemplated.\u2014 True Witness, Friday.The italics in the above are ours.Without disputing the accuracy of our contemporary, we confess it would not a little relieve our mind, if be would condescend to give his authority for the language he attributes to the Duke of Newcastle : as .his report, assuredly, very widely differs from that quoted by us from the London Timet.If he merely intended to give his version of that report, \u2019tis another atfair ; and, doubtless, there Is some truth in his statement, for the Dnke of Newcastle did make some remarks in reply to Lord Derby, on the occasion referred to, although, if they were correctly reported in the Times, they could not possibly bear the construction put upon them by the True Witness, BjEALTH of the City.\u2014It will be seen by the return of interments on Thursday last, which we publish vWs morning, that they are 15 less than on the pre Yious day, while out of 39, no less than 24 are those-of children The weather yesterday was much cooR'tlhan u ha3 been durinS the Previous eight or ten ànys.Our medical friends assure us that the epidemic is greatly on the decrease, and, we trust, in a few days, to have it in our power to congratulate onr readers on its disappearance, and on the restoration of our city to its normal slate of salubi\u2019K/.AsaiBT.\u2014John O\u2019Brien, charged with having committed a rape on Bridget Leroiseau, an ot-phan under 12 years of age, in August, 1853, near Point St.Charles, and who evaded the police since that time, was captured by Sergeant McLaughlin, .of the Water Police, on the bank of -the canal, in this -city, on Tuesday last.He has been fully committed for trial, under the warrant £d.r currency, over and above all rents and charges thereon ; and must have been in possession of the lot and house, or of the RENTS and PROFITS thereof, during six calender months next before the date of the writ of Election, unless the lot came to him by inheritance, devise or marriage contract.The wilt of election is dated the 23rd June, 1854.Parties in possession under a promesse de vente may vote.If the promesse be not notarial, it must have been enregistered at least 12 months before the election.4.\t\u2014Joint proprietors or proprietors in common (proprietaires par Indivis) of a lot and dwelting house thereon, may vote, if each undivided share amounts to the sum necessary to qualify a Voter as proprietor (£5 11s Ij^d).5.\t\u2014Tenant Votebs.\u2014No person shall vote as Tenant unless he shall have resided in the city for twelve calender months next before the date of election ; and shall have occupied by actual residence (ere y tenant feu et lieu,) a dwelling house during the same period of a year, or a part of a dwelling-house as a separate tenant, and shall have bmia fide paid one year\u2019s rent at the rate of £11 2s.2H,d., currency, or upwards» year, reckoned up to the last yearly, half yearly, quarterly, monthly, or other date of payment next before the election.6.\t\u2014No person occupying a counting-house, office, or other place of business, and not actually residing therein, shall vote.7.\t\u2014Change of residence from one Ward to another does not disqualify : but the elector, in that case, can only voie in the Ward in which he resides on tie day of the election.8.\t\u2014Occupiers of dwellings provided for them by Her Majesty's Government, or any corporation or company, are not entitled to vote thereon, unless they shall have contracted to pay, and shall have actually paid, one year\u2019s rent for such dwellings.9.\t\u2014Voters may be required to take either the proprietor\u2019s oath or the tenant\u2019s oath, and to swear to their qualification as mentioned above.In the oath of a tenant and in that of a proprietor, there is a clause by which the Voter swears.1.\tThat he is twenty-one years of age.2.\tThat he has not already voted at the election.3.\tThat he has not received, or been promised, anything directly or indirectly to induce him to vote.that it would be difficuit to conceive a play, in which so thrilling an interest is secured in the very first scene, and so uninterruptedly sustained to the drop of the curtain.We must not, however, close these hastily-written remarks upon M.Dumas\u2019 tragic conceptions, without awarding our tribute of praise to those who so admirably realized them in action.Mr.Jordan\u2019s double impersonation of the twin brothers, Fabien and Louis dei Franchi, was a masterly performance and that of M.de Chateau Renaud, his coldblooded, unprincipled antagonist, was extremely well sustained by Mr.Stoddart.Mrs.Buckland, as always, was dignified and graceful, as Madame dei Franchi, and Mrs.Stewart played Emilie de Lespan e with spirit and feeling, while the subordinate characters1 in the drama were very creditably performed.The weather, however, is too warm for criticism, but not for seeing and enjoying such dramatic masterpieces as that we have so imperfectly attempted to describe.Again we recommend onr readers to visit the Theatre this evening, and satisfy themselves of the merits of the most popular drama of the day, and of the excellent style in which Mr.Buckland has suo-ceeeed in producing it.Montreal, July 20, 1854.A meeting was held this afternoon at O'Neil's Metropolitan Saloon, when the following gentlemen appeared FOR THE HON.JOHN YOUNG.J.Esdaile, and W.H.Fleet, Esqrs., FOR THE HON.WH.BADGLEY.I.J.C.Abbott, Esq.FOR L.H.HOLTON, ESq.D.Kinnear, Esq.FOR A.A.DOEION, ESQ.R.Laflumme, and Joseph Doutre, Esqrs.(The other candidates, J.L.Beaudry, and W.Bristow, Esquires, declining to attend or send representatives) at which meeting ^it was resolved,\u2014 1.\t\u2014That the undersigned representatives of candidates hereby pledge themselves, and their respective candidates and committees, to use their best endeavors and exertions for the preservation of peace, and the securing of free and uninterrupted voting during the present election.And further, that they pledge themselves that they have not sanctioned, and will not sanction, the opening of houses of entertainment for voters, nor the hiring of any men, or any body of men, to intimidate or coerce voters, or influence the election by any species of violence ;

when Meagher pursued him, overtook and seized hold of him.He (McM.) drew a revolver and fired.He was thea knocked down, jumped upon, and kicked.Thomas F.Meagher, did not deny the main facts.The Justice inquired if Mr.McMaster had any complaint to prefer.He replied that he had no complaint to make.Juatice Wood, after a few words reprimanding the parties for making such an exhibition of themselves, and the statement that there was, in the absence of any criminal complaint, no ground for any farther proceeding, he would hold the parties severally in $500 each to keep the peace Mr.Meagher appeared rather flushed and worried, as though he had gone through a pretty unpleasant, job ; but Mr.McMaster seemed very cool and collected, although a slight flesh wound or two about the head, and some spots of blood on his coat, might have led one to anticipate not a little concern on his part.It is thought by their friends that this will be the last of this belligerent contest between these gentlemen.The following is the article which is understood to have been the immediate cause of this attempt of distinguished gentlemen to take the law into their own hands.\u201d\u2014Freeman's Journal.\u201c Poor John Mitchel, in his crazy sheet, The Citizen, bus been publishing a series cf articles written by Thus.Francis Meagher\u2014he of Australia and the clock that licked in the Bastile, These articles began kwith the high-sounding threat that before they were finished the Catholic presa of this country would be shivered to pieces.The articles have come to an end, and they have produced but one effect\u2014that of impressing on the minds of a public that was ceasing to recollect that such persons as Mitchel and Meagher existed, what very silly and bad and contemptible boys they are.We have refrained from any notice of The Citizen since the first month of its existence, because the erratic and foolish course of zig-zag blunders which alone distinguished it, proved to us that nothing could prevent it from bringing on its own destruction and speedy end, except attributing to it a character of importance\u2019 by making it an object cf opposition and attack Its base and inconsistent career is now fast and inevitably winding up, and its conductors think ing, like many others, that mere noise is enough to give lasting vitality to a paper, set up a loud yeiping at the Catholic press throughout the United States, as if by begging from them the alms of a little notice\u2014no matter how unpallat-able in kind.For an occasional dash of unaffected b-reverence, whether toward Christor toward His Vicar on earth, or whether toward the Catholic Hierarchy or toward O'Connell, the glory of Irish statesmanship throughout the world\u2014John Mitchell would have been the one to furnish it But for a set and studied effort at vitupération of Catholic principles and interests in Ireland and in America, Mitchel has had the good nature to call in the services of his bombastic and shameless compeer.The latter, in addition to his being a sham, and framer and utterer of shams in gen eral, possesses as a qualification for the task the malice of the apostate and the spite of the truant.But he has done his job in a very meager and feeble way.No one will be weak enough to think his idle words deserving of joinder.The only consolation we have to offer to Messrs.Mitchel and Meagher for the misgo their attempted onslaught on the Catholic press, is the very consideration that it was not possible oflate for eit her of them to have injured himself in the estimation of the public.Irishmen here look on them as part of the vain, blustering set of braggarts that did so much to spoil the work ot O\u2019Connell, and to make Ireland a laughing-stock to the world.We of this country (except those of us who'are narrow-minded enough to judge a nation by its repudiated outcasts,) took on them as two of the very worst specimens of an excrescence or false growth of the Irish soil.Spouters, without industry to work for their livings, without modesty or prudence to keep themselves out of scrapes with the police, without courage to strike a blow when nabbed in the very midst of their brag, without brain to understand or else fortitude to abide by the condition they accepted in the convict colony, and without shame to make them hang their heads in silence, instead ot vaporing and blowing, and making a noise in a country where, from their first arrival, they have been understood, and quizzed, and sneered at, and despised, even by those who, (either for the fun of the thing, or because humbugging the last new comer is \u201c an American institution,\u201d or for whatever other reason,) for a while made mock-heroes of them.CORRESPONDENCE.BERTHIER ELECTION.To the Editor of the Montreal Herald.Sir,\u2014At the nomination which took place here on Thursday, Mr.A.D.Bondy spoke, first, on the general policy of the country, and strongly censured the Ministry for its refusal to keep its promises, its duplicity, Us feebleness, and the immoral speculations of Hincks & Co.He pronounced himselfin tavor of the immediate abolition of the Seigniorial Tenure, of an Elective Legislative Council, of a better system of schools, roads and municipalities ; the permanence of the Seat of Government, a fixed day for the meeting of the House, decentralization of the judiciary, the payment of juries, and a change in the system of tythes, saying that every curate ought to have a fixed salary paid by the Fabrique out cf the annual revenues, and if they were not sufficient, then that the balance should be raised by assessment as for schools.All classes of society should contribute, those who have no real property paying 5s.for each head of the family.The salaries ot curates to be from £200 to £250 ; he who has a vicar, £50 more.Mr.Boudy\u2019s discourse lasted an hour aud three quarters.Mr.Fiché followed, and explained his programme and the questions connected with it, with much energy, in a discourse of about two hours.Lastly, Mr.Olivier, who spoke about an hour, declared that it was not just to condemn the Ministry for their passed acts without hearing them again, and that he wished to go to Parliament free from pledges.Mr.Dostaler spoke also in the same sense, laying more stress on his quality of farmer than on his capacity, which he acknowledged to be less than that of the other candidates, as he did not speak a word of English.There was a division at 6, P.M.The show of hands was in favor of the farmer, and a poll was demanded for the other candidates, which is fixed for the 27th or 28th.There was much excitement, menace, and vociferation by the par-tizans of Oliver and Dostaler to prevent Messrs.Bondy and Piohé from speaking ; but without success.An Elector.Berthier, July 20,1854.ON INTERMEISTS THE 20th JULY.\tMales.\tFemales.Catholic Cemetery\t\t\t17 Mount Royal Cemetery.\t\t0 Papineau Road\t\t\t1 \t21\t18 Total number of interments 39.Total number children 24.Total number cholera cases 22.Sheriff\u2019s Office, Montreal, 21st July, 1854, Gentlemen,\u2014In reply to your note of the 19th inst., 1 have the honor to state that the Election will be conduced under the enactments of the 12th Yict., chap.27.I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, John Boston, Sheriff, Returning Officer.Messrs.A.& G.Robertson, Advocates, Montreal.The Weather.\u2014Yesterday was another melting day, eclipsing all its predecessors in its heat.The thermometer could not have been less than 100\u201c in the shade during the middle of the day.Toward evening it blew a hurricane, which was followed by a slight shower of rain.To those sweltering here in town, we recommend the perusal of the following paragraph, taken from the Portland State of Maine :\u2014 \u201cSnow Arch.\u2014One of the greatest curiosities ever witnessed at the White Mountains, is now to be found at \u201c Tuckerraan\u2019s Ravine,\u201d about three miles from the Glen House.It consists of an arch of pure snow, spanning the brook that tumbles over the rocks, from the summits of the mountains.Tbe ravine is the receptacle of all the snow that blowa from the top of Mount Washington, and there can be no doubt that during the winter it accumulates to the depth of several hundred feet.As the brook begins to run in the spring, it wears its way through under the snow, which gradually melts away at the approach of summer.\u201cOn the 16th of July, this ravine was visited by D.0.Macomber, Esq., in company with Mr J.H Spalding of the Summit House, and Mr, Davis, the Engineer of the White Mountain Carriage Road, by whom the arch was measured.It was found to be 180 feet long, 84 wide, and 40 feet high, on the inside ; and 266 feet long and 40 feet wide on the outside.T he snow forming the arch is 20 feet thick.\u201cThe gentlemen above-named walked through the arch, in the bed of the brook, and ate their dinner at the foot of the cataract, which falls a thousand feet down the side of the mountains.\u201c The arch is on the south-east side of the mountain, and is exposed to the rays of the sun during most of the day.Last year it remained until August 16th, when a warm rain of several Jays continuance melted it away.It is possible that this year it may last through the season.\u201cVerily, this surpasses Wordsworth\u2019s famous \u2018-huge recess That keeps till Juue, December\u2019s snow.\u201d\u2019 From the same paper we take the following acccount of how one may get about among these deliciously cool mountains.Of course a person desirous of stopping the melting process and cooling off, leaves Montreal via the Grand Trunk Railway and goes to Island Pond ; stopping if he be a man of good tastej to see Lake Memphrhmagog ere route :\u2014 The secret charm of mountain scenery was not so well understood a few years since as now.People do not desire the labor or fatigue of climbing the mountains so much as to see them with the least possible fatigue from the valleys below.Hence the inquiry is now for beautiful Lakes and quiet valleys among the hills, from the bosom of which they can look up and seethe gathering storm as it copia itself noon their summits before discharging itself upon the valleys.We desire to feel the refreshing coolness, the bracing atmosphere of the mountains, that succeeds the storm, rather than teel itapeltiugs from the highest eminence.The Profile House, V il-loughby Lake, and Island Pond, afford these.Here one enjoys the cool air of the mountains, at the same time that he witnesses the sight of changing skies, and sees the storm pass away leaving everything more bright and beatitul than before.The enterprise of man keeps pace with the public necessities, and ti line of communication is just completed with a view to give people a complete circuit of the mountains.On Monday, July 17th a daily stage line from Island Pond to Willoughby Lake was commenced, and its enterprising proprietors, Messrs.S.G.Richards & Co., are true representatives of Vermont stage interests, so that passengers can now make an entire circuit of the mountains,\u2014 On the arrival of the trains at Island Pond, these stages take passengers to the Willoughby Lake House, where it connects with a daily line to St.Johnsbury, the present terminus of the Passump-sio Railway.From thence you take tbe Railway to Littleton on the north of the mountains, or to Lake Winnepissoegee, connecting with lines of stages, steamboats, and railways, to Conway, Dover, and Boston.Here is a route among the Granite Hills; where cholera and other .contagious diseases never come, and where one may enjoy more of the beauties of New England scenery than by any other possible or available route.\u2014 Gazette, 21s/.! EXTRACTS FROM EN&IISH PAPERS RECEIVED BY THE \u201cNIAGARA.\u201d Two documents have been published during the week which always command more or le:3 attention, because they are believed to reflect, with tolerable fidelity, the commercial phases of life and the social condition 0/ the people.We refer to the Board of Trade Returns tor the month, and to the Revenue Returns for the quarter and the year.These returns for the month ending June 5, and for the five months preceding, prove that the war with Russia has not seriously affected onr trade.During the month the exports exceeded those of tbe corresponding month in the previous year by £400,000, and the (ive months\u2019 exports exceeded the same five months in the year before by £630,000\u2014very unmistakable proofs that the crippling process, as regards commerce, has not keptjpace with the war process, although, the war must have had some effect upon trade in general.It has considerably influenced the German markets, and, with regard to the trade of the Levant and of Russia, it has closed it up altogether.As compared with 1852, this year\u2019s exports present an increase of no less than a million and half on the month, and nearly eight millions on the live months.The increase is chiefly confined to metals, stationery, and to articles of food-wheat, flour, butter, eggs, sugar, rice, coffee, and cocoa.In the manufactured articles of woolen, linen, cotton, and silk, there has been a falling off as compared with the previous year.The Revenue Returns are not quite so satisfactory, when contrasted with the uniform progression of former years, for extensive reductions of taxation, and the high price of provisions, must necessarily diminish the amount which finds its way to the Exchequer.Indeed, all things considered, it is gratifying to find that the revenue sustains itself so buoyantly.We find the receipts, during the quarter, were within a trifle of fourteen millions sterling.In this aggregate of the quarter there has been in stamp duties an increase of £30,000 ; in property tax an increase ot £48,000 ; in the post-office an increase of £128,-000.The decrease in the customs is £367,000; in the excise, £171,609; taxes, £74,000; crown lands, £135,888; miscellaneous, £34.000 ; imprest monies, £117,000; repayment of advances, £118,-000.After deducting the increase the quarter shows a deficiency of £812,009.The returns for the year are morp favourable.Stamps show an increase on the twelvemonths of £48,000 ; property tax';.£4aj,000 ; post-office, £116,000 ; imprest monies, £5f'-00n.This is the sunny side of the pictuH Toe sjri / view exhibits a decrease in the customs oY 1450,000 ; in the excise, £435,000 ; taxes, £33,000 ; crown lands, £132,000 ; miscellaneous, £26,000 ; repayments of advances, £102,000.The total decrease on the year is £474,000\u2014not a very large sum considering the extent of our revenue and the deficiency of the last harvest.Russia aud TuiUcy.THE BLACK SEA FLEETS, Since the return of Sir Edmund Lyons\u2019s steam squadron from the Circassian coast, Niw Wheat.\u2014The Daily Wisconsin learns that iome of the winter wheat in that vicinity has been harvested, and samples have been seen by dealers.The crop is very heavy, the berry plump and fine.The winter wheat is out of danger, and there is no fear for the spring crop.Tonnage of Boston.\u2014 The tonnage entering Boston in 1830, from foreign ports, was 642 ships of 11175.4 .tons, .and in 1851 3042 ships of 612,922 sons.\t________________ To Correspondents.-^' An Elector\u2019s\u201d letter to certain candidates is somewhat late in the day, as the voting begins on Monday and ends on Tuesday.It reached us too late for this mor-,Ding\u2019s issue, but we shall insert it, if requested to .Jo so, on Monday morning.The Corsican Brothers\u2014We mentioned, yesterday, how much we had been pleased with the performance of this strikingly interesting drama on the previous night.The tale, which Dumas has, by the exraordinary success of the Corsican Brothers, rendered familiar in Europe and America, is founded upon a Corsican tradition, or superstition, which endows twins with a supernatural knowledge and perception of whatever fortune\u2014good or evil\u2014may occur to them, however far they may be separated from each other.The interest of the drama, accordingly, consists in the knowledge, thus supernaturally obtained in Corsica, by Fabien dei Franchi, (Mr.G.Jordan,) of the xjeath of his twin-brother, Louis dei Franchi, (&\\so Mr.G.Jordan,) killed in a duel, by M.de Chateau -Renpui, (Mr.Stoddart,) a Parisian roué, in the Forest of Fpntainbleau.Fabien immediately starts for Paris, traces out and follows his brother's destroyer to the .very spot where he had slain him, and there avenges him by killing M.de Chateau Renaud.The interest of the piece is intense, from first to last; and the stage machinery, by which Fabien and the audience are presented with tableaux ot the various scenes in Paris and at Fontainbleau, in which Louts dei Franchi is engaged, and which lead to his death, are of the most perfect, nor do we use too strong a word when we say astonishing a .character.In truth, The Corsican Brothers is a drama to be seen, not to be described\u2014no descrip.tipp, at least that we ase capable of giving, .could give the reader anything beyond ,a very confused idea of its great merits.We observe that it is to .be performed again this evening, and we strongly recommend our play-going readers to go and see it, and judge for themselves\u2014we feel confident that disappointment is out of the question, and that, having seep it, they will agree with us TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LOYAL ORANGE ASSOCIATION OF BRITISH NORTH AMERICA, RESIDENT IN THE CITY OF MONTREAL; Oompanions and Brethren:\u2014I had hoped that I should not have been called upon to interfere, in any way, with the coming election of members to represent this City in the Provincial Parliament: I would much rather that it were so.In the present disjointed state of affairs, and taking into consideration the ground occupied by the respective candidates for your suffrages, our duty, as a body, appeared to me perfectly clear and well defined,\u2014namely : to stand aloof from the contest, as one in which no principle was involved of sufficient importance to call for our assertions.To hurl one set of men from place and power, merely to replace them by others equally unscrupulous and rapacious, is not an object, the attainment whereof, is to be striven for by our beloved order ; nor are Orangemen to go to the polls and cast their votes in favor of the avowed friends of democratic institutions,\u2014tbe foes of the Throne we are sworn to support aud defend.Looking at the matter in this light myself, and having so much confidence in the good sense of the Brethren of Montreal as to believe that they would not trust a second time where they, in common with too many of their Protestant co-electors, had been once greivously deceived, I had, I say, determined to remain quiet.I am, however, informed that means have been used to create the impression\u2014nay, that it has been broadly asserted\u2014that the Orange Association here is labouring to ensure the return of one of tbe candidates, who, in the last Parliament, represented the city; and that its members are actively engaged in canvassing, and influencing the electors in his behalf.Brethren, the Orange Society does not profess to take from its members the right of exercising their private judgment, nor does any man, on joining the Society, relinquish the power ot doing that which seemeth good unto him, so long as he keeps within certain limits.Some one or two of our members may, and I believe have, mnch to my regret, taken an active part in advocating the interests of one of the candidates (the Hon.Wm.Badgley) at present before you, whose votes in the last Parliament, in my opinion, totally unfit him to receive the support of any member of our body ; but as the head of the order in this section ot the Province, I altogether deny that this has been the work of the Association or of its officers.Private friendships and private interests have been ere now, aud doubtless are still, at work.Any sensible tpan will at once see the folly of allowing himself to b?fhes influenced.Brethren, my object in addressing yoti in this Thomas Brassey Esq., of the firm of Jackson Peto and Brassey.\u2014One of the chiefs of the aristocracy (says the Crystal-palace Library,) that has risen in these latest times upon the foundations of commercial enterprise.A prince of the new dynasty, whose dominion extends wherever civilization is fostered by the rail, as a surveyor, at Birkenhead, and his first connection with a railway was a contract to supply stone for a viaduct of the \u201cManchester and Liverpool.\" Since that time, his labours have been incessant and extraordinary, both in bis own country and out of it.Since 1846, he has upon his own responsibility and credit, constructed upwards of 600 miles of railway, representing an aggregate of £9,250,000.of contract money.In France and Spain, his joint contracts with Mr.Mackenzie were for 18a English miles of road, and for nearly £3,000,000.sterling.His engagements in Scotland and England, with Mr.Mackenzie and Mr.John Stephenson, from 1844 to 1851, comprised 511 miles of rail way, and an aggregate of £7,200,-000.His bands are still full, and his men are still carrying out bis behests in all parts of the world.In more senses than one the career of Thos.Brassey may be described as princely.The Barentin viaduct, of twenty-seven arches, on the Rouen and Havre line tumbled down when all but completed ; and the casuality involved a loss of £30-000.Mr.Brassey, the contractor, was neither morally nor legally responsible.He had repeatedly protested against the material used in tbe structure, and tbe French lawyers maintained that bis protest freed him from liability.The contractor was of a different opinion.He had contracted, he said, to make and maintain the road, and no law should prevent him being as good as his word.The viaduct was rebuilt at Mr.Brassey\u2019s cost.For the construction of this stupendous work (accomplished in seven months) 16,000,000 bricks were required, of which 14,000,-000 bricks were new, and made on tbe spot.\u2014 Thomas Brassey is beloved by his countless re-tainers.Riches, power, influence, and dominion, have not touched his sound feeling heart.\u2014Doncaster Gazette.the whole of the fleet remains at Baltschik.Various interchanges of civility have passed among the ships, a favourite recreation being pic-nic entertainments ashore.At these cricket and quoits have been the favourite games of the English, to the great astonishment of the Turks.A whimsical incident occurred.Among the Turks, one staid and important-looking person directed his attention to the provision basket, aud, seeing among its contents a pewter pot with a glass bottom, took it out, and, under the impression that it was a new kind of telescope, put the glass bottom to his eye, and viewed tbe ships through it so long and so intently that the chibouque resting on bis knee went out; and finally, with a puzzled air, he returned it into the basket, saying, \u201c Mash-allah 1\u201d \u201c Masballah 7\u201d (\u201c God be praised.\u201d) TROOPS FOR THE EAST.On Saturday, the 1st; the following regiments were ordered to embark immediately for Turkey, to reinforce the army in the Black Sea :\u20142nd Dragoons, Scots Greys; 4th Light Dragoons; 20tb, 21st, 34th, 46th, and 63rd Regiments of Foot ; and 1st Battalion of the Rifie Brigade.Each regiment of infantry will embark 1,000 rank and file, besides officers, non-commissioned officers, drummers, band, &c.The rifle battalion will be 1200 rank and file.The infantry will form a fourth division, with a general and two brigadiers, the latter to be selected fora the senior colonels of the regiments.No general of division is yet appointed.It is not unlikely that Sir George Gatbcart, who is daily expected, may arrive from the Gape of Good Hope in time to take the command.These troops will go out in steamers, aud will proceed direct to the Black Sea, without making any stoppage.The 2nd and 4ih Dragoons will be added one to each of the cavalry brigades already with the array.\u2014 The two cavalry brigades in active service, will then consist of five regiments each.The entire British land force in tbe Black Sea will now consist of something like 60,000.MUTILATION BY THE TURKS.The correspondent of the Times, writing from Silistria, says:\u2014\u201cWent down to the Stamboul-gate, where we saw the arms, accoutrements, &c., of the enemy\u2019a slain being received.While there a ruffian threw down before Missa Pacba a pair ot ears, which he said he cut from the head-of a officer.He was quite surprised at tbe pacha, instead of rewarding him as he had expected, ordering the ears to be buried, and turning from him with disgust.Several heads were also ^btit0Tsntobiîâ mutilation of the dead will be abandoned.Id justice to the Turkish soldiers, I must state this brutality was confined chiefly to the irregulars and townspeople, who seemed to take a savage delight in disfiguring the bodies of those with whom the latter had not even been engaged.\u201d - RUSSIAN HATRED OF THE ENGLISH.The revulsion of Russian feeling to the prejudice of the English is so great that all objects formerly known by English names are re-christened.The grand shop of Petersburg!), at which even the Imperial f»mnÿ make their purchases, hitherto called the \u201c English Magazine,\u201d bears now the Imperial arms, and its proprietors style themselves \u201c purveyors to the Emperor.\u201d The English quay is in future to be called \u201c the Quay of the Annunciation.\u201d THE FIRE AT CHERSON.A letter from Odessa states that nine persons' among whom were two Russian officers, had arrived in that city, whence they were to be conveyed to St.Petersburg.Those individuals, accused of having set on fire the military aud naval magazines at Cherson, had been sentenced to imprisonment for life although they pleaded their innocence to tbe last.The authorities wished to intimidate the population, whose dispositions are hostile to the Government.prince paskiewitsch.Prince Paskiewitsch is in a very bad state of health.There is no Russian garrison at Jassy, but the officers who pass ter and fro are in a state of extreme dejection.Things are also changed much at the \u201chotel\u201d of the Moldo-Russian Administration.The partisans of Russia, who not long since were in extremely high spirits, now hang their heads, as they feel that they will soon be called to account.The news of the accident to Prince Paskiewitsch produced a painful impression at Warsaw.It begins 'to be observed that considerable excitement prevails both in military and government circles against the originators of tbe war.After the Hungarian war was over, the Emperor promised the veteran that he would no more demand military service from him.At the outbreak of the quarrel between Russia and the Porte, the Prince\u2019s counsel was not demanded, but one day, when things began to go wrong, a polite 'etter arrived from the Hereditary Grand Duke requesting him to come to St.Petersburg.The Marshal left Warsaw saying that he should be back within a fortnight.On arriving at the capital, the old noble man was urged to offer his services, as his Majesty, after his promise, could not demand them.The Marshal did as he was bid, the Prince did not conceal his extreme disinclination to take the command in the Principalities.GENERAL BOHIDERS.General Schilders has died from the effects of the amputation of his leg.He was much addicted to fantastic notions of the invisible world, and who conversed much with spirits \u201c white and gray.\u201d and encouraged drunkenness.I am sure it would have the opposite effect.It would prevent their getting a vile spirit calledRaki, which they have sometimes the opportunity of baying, and which at Varna literally drove some of the men violently mad, and caused several to be flogged.a military affray.A dreadful affray took place at Kouleh on the 15th, between a party of sailors belonging to one of the transports and a few artillery men.Several heads were broken, and more than one fellow was bruised; but unfortunately a party of Turkish soldiers came up to separate the combatants, and the latter, mistaking the indention, attacked the poor Turks, killed a sergeant, and severely wounded several privates.The alarm gun was fired, and the consequences would have been most disastrous but for the interference of the officers, who rushed forward with great daring and prevented tbe Turks from taking vengeance.THE DEATH OF MUSSA PACHA.At one o\u2019clock this day (June 2) Massa Pasha; thé commander of the fortress, was mortally wounded in the left side by a piece of shell, which burst near him while .sitting outside his quarters at the Stamboul gate.He lived about twelve minutes after receiving the wonnd.He had just received intelligence that a messenger was at hand, bearing the Sultan\u2019s order of Medji-die.of the second class, which had been sent to him, and was waiting for instructions as to whether it was his excellency\u2019s wish to receive the decoration publicly, and with the usual ceremony, or otherwise.Mussa Pacha replied that it would be better to bring it quietly, remarking at the same time that this was no season for pomp and display.A couple of hours after this his remains were interred.THE PLAN OF OPERATIONS IN FINLAND.On Thursday morning the Vivid steam-vessel left Woolwich for Dover, to remain there until the arrival of Rear-Admiral M.F.F.Berkeley, C.B., First Naval Lord of the Admiralty, who will proceed in her to Calais, where the French troops are to embark in the Hannibal, 91, screw steamship, Commodore Hon.F.W.Grey ; the Algiers, 91, screw-steamship, Captain O.Talbot ; the Royal William, 120, Captain Kingcome ; and the St.Vincent, 101, Captain G.Mansel.The Freneh troops will be conveyed from Calais in steamers to the English ships of war in waiting for them, and when troops are all on board they will pass through the Downs for the North Sea and the Baltic.It is expected that one of the companies of Roval Sappers and Miners at présentât Chatham will be sent to the Baltic; and Colonel Jones, commandant of Royal Engineers at Chatham, will also proceed to the same destination.The Paris correspondent of the Chronicle, writing on the evening of the 6th, says :\u2014\u201c The appointment of General Paraguay d\u2019Hilliers to the command of the French corps d\u2019armée about to be sent into the Baltic has taken the public here by surprise, as very few people were aware that a land expedition was contemplated in that quarter.It is believed that these troops will form a portion of the host by which Russia is threatened in that quarter, and that the French troops will be joined not only by an English expeditionary corps, but by a Swedish arm?.Without the active aid of the Swedish forces, so small a force as that to be sent from France, even when joined by some English troops, would be of little avail without a Swedish army.It is therefore considered certain that England and France have received assurances of the active assistance of Sweden against Russia ; and that the Czar runs the risk of losing Finland on the one side, whilst he is sure of losing the Crimea on the other.\u201d1 RUSSIAN INTRIGUE.By letters from Leipsio we learn that the Czar has sent Colonel Isakof to Dresden, with an autograph letter to the King of Saxony, expressing 1rs thanks for the friendly part which the King took in the Bamberg conferences.The colonel is charged with a similar mission to tae other sovereigns lately represented at Bamberg, who see in this attention the Czar\u2019s desire to compromise them with Austria and Prussia.IMPORTS.Per Bark ATHOLL, Frazer, Liverpool, J Joseph.R Juson & co 4aU bxs spikes;

André Picard, one house ; Joseph Picard, one house; Joseph Normand two houses, occupied as dry good stores bv Messrs.La-tulippe and Hudon, Widow Morel, François Parent, Qignon, Martin, Widow Laliberté, Chas.Huot, O.patres ne, Miss Simard, Widow Bernier, Michel Rénat/an,^ ileaudoin, one house each.Serious apprehensions were at .one time entertained for the safety of the Sf.Roch\u2019s Convent, and Parish Church on the other side of St.Jos.Street ; happily they proved to be mifoiinded, as tbe fire in that direction was soon extinguished.The building owned by Mr.Garneau was insured fer oniy .#1200; Messrs.Latultppe k Hudon\u2019s loss is about £3.000, insured for £1800.The losses pf the .oilier Vfi&ftt* are principally covered by insurance.A high wind which.prevailed at the time greatly served to spread the conflagration, and .we have no doubt, that had it not been for a plentiful supply of water obtained from the Water 'Works, the prompt exertions of the firemen, and the efficient service rendered by detachments of the Royal Artillery and 26th Regt, we should once more have to record the entire destruction of the most populous Suburb of Quebec.\u2014Quebec Chronicle.The Emperor basin the lastifira montbo grown older than in the preceding ten years, and wears an expression of haggard care both in his countenance and bearing.The heir Alexander, is in a rapid decline, and is at night afflicted with snob heavy sweatings that his bed-linen has frequently to be changed twice the same night.As be is known to be averse to the present war, plenty of Rusians are found who hint darkly at the singularity of his being attacked with symptoms dissimilar from any that his family have ever suffered from just at the very time when his, known rentimenta are at variance with those of his family.ENGLISH MEDICAL STAFF FOR THE TURKISH ARMY.The Saltan has determined to obtain a staff of English and French medical officers tor hia troops.HEALTH OF TBS BRITISH TR00P3 IN TURKEY.By a letter with which we (Medical Times) have been favoured from Constantinople, dated June 15, we find that tbe whole force of infantry at Varna, Scutari, and Gallipoli is 21,863.Of these, 821, or 3% per cent., are on the sick list.The force of artillery is 2108, 2% per cent, only being sick.Of the small force ot\u2019cavalry arrived up to that date, 8 per cent, were sick, but mostly from slight accidents.GENERAL BROWN STOPPING THE SOLDIERS BEER.Copy of a letter from an English officer, dated near Varna, Junes,\u2014We have been encamped here several days, and move on next Monday.Our supplies are very precarious.We have had no butter since we have been in this part of the country We go out foraging, and sometimes contrive to get some eggs, sometimes a goose or a fowl, hut nothing is certain except our bare rations of 1% lb of bread or biscuit, and 1 lb of meat, salt or fresh, as the case may he.Our best meat is mutton, indeed tho Turks never eat beef when they can avoid it; the ox .is used entirely fop draught.Our bread is very bad, but the French have very good bread, because they bake it themselves, whiist.purs is got through commissariat contracts.Tea is onr great standby, and we have now and then a small quantity of sugar, rice, and black tea through the commissariat.The last two or three days the men of my regiment have had nothing beyond their bare rations.Of all the luxuries the men looked forward to, the pint allowance of English porter was tbe greatest.We had it.for three days while at Var-na, but never before nor since.The Superinteud-iog Commissariat Officer told me there was plenty at Varna, and no difficulty in its conveyance, but General Brown, would not allow it to be sent He said it was a luxury\u2014unnecessary, MONTREAL SHIPPING.Arrived at the Clyde, Shandon, Jun» 30 ;
