and may, assuredly, lead to consequences much more serious and unpleasant to His Excellency\u2019s responsible advisers than would he their simple retirement\u2014with well-filled pockets\u2014info the shades of private life.We shall not remind our readers of the extraordinary and, we believe, unprecedented circumstances preceding the dissolution of the late parliament, as they must be fresh in their memories ; but, as interesting in itself, if not in every respect a parallel instance of the arbftrary exercise of the royal prerogative, we give them\u2014before stating the grounds upon which we are forced to consider Lard Elgin\u2019s exercise of the prerogative unconstitutional, while his royal prototype\u2019s was only tyrannical and arbitrary\u2014the following narrative, from Hume\u2019s history, of the adjournment and dissolution, by Charles 1st, of the Euglish parliament, in 1629.We may add that for eleven years after, arbitrary government prevailed, the next parliament not being called until 1640, when it was almost immediately dissolved and was succeeded, in the autumn of the same year, by the celebrated Long Parliament, to which, with all its faults, England and America owes so.much.Hume says:\u2014 \u201cSir John Elliot framed a remonstrance against levying tonnage and poundage without consent of parliament, and offered it to the clerk to read.It was refused.He read it himself.The question being then called for, Sir John Finch, the Speaker, said, That he had a command from the King to adjourn and to put no question.Upon which he rose and left the chair.The whole house was in an uproar.The Speaker was pushed back into the chair, and forcibly held in it by Hollis and Valentine ; till a short remonstrance was framed, and was passed by acclamation rather than by vote.The doors being locked, the gentleman usher of the House of Lords, who was sent by the King, «could not get admittance till this remonstrance was finished.By the King\u2019s order he took the mace from the table, which ended their proceedings ; and a few days after the parliament was dissolved.\u2019\u2019 Such is the nearest parallel we can find in English history to the dissolution of the late Canadian parliament.It must be remembered, however, in extenuation of the unfortunate Charles\u2019 arbitrary proceedings, that in 1629 the constitutional restrictions upon the royal prerogative were vague and undefined, while the right of the sovereign to adjourn, prorogue and dissolve parliament was almost unlimited.There is a striking similarity then in Lord Elgin\u2019s mode of acting towards the lata parliament\u2014although our Speaker was no Sir John Finch, and, having his \u201cremonstrance\u201d prepared, spared the Opposition the necessity of imitating Hollis and Valentine\u2014while the act itself\u2014the dissolution\u2014 unlike that of Charles 1st, was, as we shall presently show, in direct and palpable contraven.tion, as well of the letter as of tbe spirit of the constitution of Canada, as contained in the Imperial statute, 3rd and 4th Viet.Chap.35, commonly called the Union Act.In the 31st clause of that Act, it is provided :\u2014 \u201c And be it enacted, That there shall be a Session ot the Legislative Council and Assembly of tbe Province of Canada once at least in every year, so that a period of twelve calendar months shall net intervene between the last sitting of the Legislative Council and Assembly in one Session and first sitting ot the Legislative Council and Assembly in the next Session; and that every Legislative Assembly of tbe said Province hereafter to be summoned and chosen shall continue for four years from the day of the return of the writs for choosing the same, and no longer, sub-jefct nevertheless to be sooner prorogued or dissolved by tbe Governor of the said Province.\u201d We have italicised the word session in the above extract, for on the meaning of that wori} must depend whether or not the late dissolution of parliament, when its last meeting had been in convention not in session, was a legitimate and constitutional exercise of the royal prerogative.That the word session, and not meeting or convention, was used advisedly and with deliberate intention, by the Imperial Parliament, we can have no doubt; because, had either ot the latter words been used, it is evident that the Canadian Executive, according to the letter of the law at least, by continual prorogations and dissolutions might prevent legislation and, practically, deprive the country of parliamentary government.The intention and thp language are evident\u2014 that a session, and not a mere meeting, of parliament should be held \u201c once at least every year.\u2019\u2019 Now, if there is one point in the law of Parliament more absolutely defined and decided than another, it is, that there can be no session of Parliament unless \u201c some .act be passed, or some judgment be given.\u201d Meetings, where no act is passed or judgment given, are called conventions, not sessions.The argument, then, iaina nutshell There having, notoriously, been no act passed, of judgment given during the last meeting of the Provincial.Parliament, it was simply a convention and not a session ; and, as the - constitution provides, that a period of twelve calendar months shall not intervene between the last sitting of the Legislative Council and Assembly in the one session, and the first sitting of the Legislative Council and Assembly in the next session, the prorogation of parliament while sitting in convention, and its dissolution before it had been legally ,con-stituted a session inasmuch as, at the time\u2014more than twelve calendar months had intervened, from its last sitting\u2014was in direct contravention of the provisions of the Imperial statute, 3rd and 4th Vic., Cap.35 ; and, consequently, an unconstitutional abuse of the royal prerogative.And bow do the ministerial organists meet this, to ns at least, only logical and intelligible Interpretation of the words of the Union Act?They plead that, as the parliament might retuse to pass a law or give a judgment, and thus constitute a session ; that, therefore, the Governor, provided he and his responsible advisers thought they had P sufficient reason\u201d for so doing, might dissolve the parliament when they thought fit.Thus, the Montreal Freeman lays, in its last issue :\u2014 But the idea, that to dissolve the Legislature, was unconstitutional, because \u201c no act to constitute a session had taken place,\u201d is obviously absurd.To adopt the same mode of reasoning, it must also be held to be unconstitutional to dissolve any Parliament, which may choose to negative the address from the throne, and refuse to proceed with its Legislative duties, because no act has been done to constitute a session?Now, common sense ignores such an interpretation of constitutional authority, and holds, that it would be constitutional to dissolve parliament under such circumstances.All that is required, is, that there be sufficient reason for the dissolution, and of this question, as regards the late Parliament, no thorough Reformer can entertain the slightest doubt.What a king or a governor may do, in the event of a parliament refusing to proceed with its legislative duties, and ex necessitate rei\u2014 from the necessity of the case\u2014we are not aL.present called upon to say\u2014aitho\u2019 history affords various instances of such necessary infractions ot the constitution.To sustain such u plea, Lord Elgin and his.ministers are, clearly, bound to prove the necessity\u2014to prove that the Parliament refused to proceed with its legislative duties, in contravention of the very act by which it was constituted.To suppose, that they\u2014my Lord Elgin and his advisers\u2014are at liberty to contravene tbe letter and the spirit of the constitution whenever, in their wisdom, they think they have \u201c sufficient reason\u201d for doing so, is to render the constitution a sheet of waste paper and hand over the rights of the people to the executive.But, in the particular case in hand, it is notorious that the parliament did not refuse to proceed with its legislative duties, although it did negative the ministerial reply to the address from the throne\u2014upon which, by every principle of constitutional law and practice, the Ministry were bound to have resigned.What might have followed their resignation\u2014whether a new Ministry could have been formed possessing the confidence of the House\u2014whether, it could not, and, consequently, legislation could not proceed \u2014whether, in short, a' case ot necessity might have arisen, sufficiently strong to justify an infringement of the constitution, we are not now called upon to decide.We know that Ministers did not resign\u2014we know that parliament did not refuse to proceed with its legislative duties, even under a Ministry in whom it had lost confidence ; but, on the contrary, was willing and desirous to pass a most important Act\u2014the Franchise law\u2014without the passing of which no new election could properly take place ; and we know that, in the absence ot all necessity, and with all means and appliances to enable them to act in accordance with the constitution, they set it at naught\u2014for what they chose to consider a \u201csufficient reason.\".We know ail this; but, we confess, we do not know what coursé the new parliament will pursue in the matter ; although we cannot bring ourselves to believe that they will sanction, even by their silence on the subject, so glaring an infraction of the rights of the people, so dangerous and unconstitutional an exercise\u2014or rather abuse\u2014of the prerogative of the Crown.The Know Nothings.\u2014It may be interesting to our readers to peruse the following condensed statement of the initiation used by this order of political fanatics in the United States, for which we are indebted to our contemporary, the Pilot : INITIATION OF KNOW-NOTHINGS.According to the authority in question, the various associations take to themselves the general appellation of \u2018 Know-Nothing Councils,\u2019 as for instance, 1 Ethan Allen Council, No.34, of the Supreme Order of \u201976,\u201d and that the term Know-Nothing Is merely for outsiders.They adopt as few written formula in their Councils as possible, but they use a pamphlet containing their short constitution and by-laws, their method of procedure in initiating members, the duty of officers, instructions to the initiated candidates of the 1st, 2d, and 3d degrees ; in short, all their principles and objects.Their oaths, it is supposed, are the same throughout the United States.There is also a Grand Council for each State.Subordinate Councils may be instituted in any locality in a State, by a charter from the Grand Council preceded by a petition for the saine from thirteen citizens, who are initiated by a traveling agent.' They pay $12, receive a charter and seal, and go to work.It is further asserted that they aim at all the power, and not merely at the balance of power, as has been generally supposed.The oath every candidate for initiation is obliged to make, is as follows :\u2014 Thb Law of Insanity in England \u2014The En.glish correspondents of the American papers have recently engaged in a business, which does not appear very worthy of the position, which the press is presumed to hold in civilized countries.It is the constant detraction of every Englishman of any note.If a man has been an eminent judge like Talfourd, or writer like Dickens, this seems to be considered a sufficient justification of an inquiry, real or supposed, into all his private concerns, and a long letter illustrating his state of indebtedness, or his excessive conviviality foi lows.It is not very wonderful, that so conspicuous a personage as Prince Albert has come in for some notice from these gentry, and they have, accordingly; cooked up a very pretty story respecting a Dr.Prittman, who it seems is a literary man of some eminence.The Doctor, accord ing to some of them, was Prince Albert\u2019s Tutor in Germany, and possesses a secret, disgraceful to the Prince.We see one writer says, that he was present at a sham marriage of the Prince to a Scotch girl, which took place at Bonn.At any rate, the Doctor has a fancy for forcing himself into the presence of the Royal Family, and it seems that, some fourteen years ago, something of this sort led to his being secured in Bethlehem Hospital as a madman.He was, however, subsequently released on the report of medical men to the Home Office that he was not insane.A few Sundays ago, however, he contrived to get into the Chapel Royal, where he was arrested and finally, after examination before a Magistrate, sent to the Hanwell Lunatic Asylum.This is represented as a mere act of obedience on the part of officials to the will of royalty, anxious to get rid of annoyance caused by the presence of the witness of its wrongdoing.Dr.Prittman, if he be a victim or a hero, is not a very worthy one.If he have any claims of his own to urge, or wrongs of others to redress, the method to be adopted is not that of forcing himself on the unwilling notice of those whose acts he affects\u2014if indeed he himself sanctions these Yankee stories \u2014to condemn.It is plain that the only object a sane man could have in such a course, is the extortion of money to bribe at once the suppression of the scandal, and the absenting of himself.That Prince Albert resorted to the other course of having him arrested instead of purchasing his silence, is the best proof that he is quite ready to brave publicity, for unless the Prince were as mad as Dr.Prittman is said to be, he could not imagine that such an affair could be kept quiet in England, if there were anything even suspicious about it.It was speedily brought before Parliament by Mr.Otway, who complained that the doctor had been unnecessarily arrested, when, though an intruder, he was committing no dangerous act; kept three days in a noisome police cell ; examined in private ; and finally sent to the Lunatic Asylum, on the bare testimony of two physicians, both in Government pay.Lord Palmerston replied in substance, that he had acted exactly according to the usual methods pursued in such oases ; and that some of tbe accidental grievances th® doctor suffered, were unavoidable, though to be regretted.That the particular delusion he labored under, was that he had a claim upon the sovereign, which led him to force himself into her presence to urge his claim, and one occasion to write a letter threatening violence if his requirements were not complied with.On his release after his first imprisonment, which was granted upon a promise of a friend to take charge of him\u2014he immediately applied foi a place in the Royal Household ; founding his application on the imaginary service rendered to the public and the Queen, by the compilation of his grammar, through the instrumentality of which he held, that the Queen had learned German.His Lordship farther remarked very justly, that Hanwell Asylum, where he was sent, was in no way under Government control, and that the doctor\u2019s sanity or insanity might be investigated there by any proper persons, concluding by challenging Mr.Otway to say himself whether he did not know Prittman to be a monomaniac.This Mr.Otway admitted, but said he did uot conceive him to be dangerous.Thera can be little doubt, that the whole story is a repetition of the history of persons who have believed they had claims on the great and powerful, and who not unfrequently end by murder, as Bellingham did with Percival.There seems to be a general opinion, nevertheless, growing out of the case, that the incarceiation of supposed lunatics is at present too summary.Health of the City.\u2014We have much pleasure in publishing the following resolution, adopted at a meeting of the Local Board of Health, held at the City Hall, yesterday, at which were present His Worship the Mayor; Aldermen Trudeau, Homier and Whitlaw; Councillors Campbell and Day it was Resolved,\u2014That, in view of the marked improvement of the Health of the City, and the entire cessation of Cholera, as an epidemic, the Board deem it unnecessary to continue the daily reports of mortality, after the present week ; and that thereafter none other thau lyeekly returns be made.That jn reporting this favorable state of things, tbe Board would nevertheless advise no relaxation of the precautionary measures suggested in the able pamphlet of the May,or, circulated at the commencement of the epidemic.The advice contained in the last paragraph we would urge upon pur readers by no means to neglect\u2014the danger is,, doubtless in a great measure, over, but prudence as to diet, is, nevertheless, still highly advisable.Lowhb Provinces.\u2014We learn that the submarine cable, forming part of the line of telegraph connecting Nova Scotia and New Brunswick with Prince Edward\u2019s Island,\u2014 has been parted about two miles from the Nova Scotia shore, and it is dsubtful whether it can be, repaired the present season.The idea of connecting Newfoundland with Prince Edward Island by submarine cable has been abandoned and the connection with this continent, if accomplished, will now be direct from Gape Race to Nova Scotia, at or near Cape North, to join the line of the Nova Scotia company.A large fleet of American fishing vessels has been hanging about the entrance to the Bay of Chaleur for some weeks.Lieut.Knocker, R.N, has been ernising near Miscon, in the armed schooner Alice Rigers, and has rigidly prevented these vessls from

not divulge any question proposed to me here,|| whether I become a member!! of this order or not ;|| and that I will never!! under any circumstances whatever,|| mention the name of any person!! 1 may see present!! during any of the meetings,|| or that I know such an Order to be in existence,|| and that I will a true answer make to every question asked of me,|| so help me God.\u201d A series of questions is then put to the candidate by the chief officer of the Lodge,\u2014such as, \u201c Where were you born ?\u201d \u201c Where were your parents born ?\u201d\t\u201c Where were your grand parents born ?\u201d \u201c Are you a Roman Catholic ?\u201d An affirmative answer to this last interrogatory is invariably fatal to the admission of the applicant.The candidate is also required to pledge himself that he shall use all the influence he possesses in favor of native born American citizens, for all offices of honor, trustor profit in the gift of the people ; and to promise to vote for them to the exclusion of all aliens and foreigners, and Roman Catholics in particular, for all local, State or government offices.It being satisfactorily ascertained that the candidate is \u201cail right,\u201d he is led to an officer called the Judge Advocate, who harangues him, after the following manner:\u2014 THE JUDGE ADVOCATE\u2019S ADDRESS.\u201c My Brothers,\u2014The order which has now received you as members, may with all propriety be considered a secret; in fact, that if you were placed before a legal tribunal and tiiere sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, you could not for your lives reveal the name of that band of brothers, among whom your name now stands enrolled : and further than this, when you retire from this meeting, you will return to your families and friends as ignorant as when you came, as far as the name of this Order is concerned.In common with.ourselves you \u2018 Know Nothing,' and let it be your stern resolve through life, to 1 Know Nothing1 that will at all conflict with the high and exalted duties you owe to your God, your couutry and yourselves, so far as regards the preservation of American liberty, which can alone be secured to ourselves and our children by the entire and absolute exclusion of foreign influence in those matters which appertain to our government policy.\u201d After the delivery of this address, the candidate is referred to the Instructor, who teaches him the signs and grips, and in what manner to obtain entrance into the Council.He is then master of the first degree, and signs his name to the Register.If he behaves well two weeks, and it is conceded that he will do to become a full blooded Know Nothing\u2014abstains from all blabs outside the Councils, his friends propose him for the second Degree.After election to that degree he and others are brought in and take another oath, not to divulge the secrets of the order,\u2014 aud that they will always conform to the will of the majority of the members of the order in the selection of candidates to fill every office of honour, profit or trust, within the gift of the people, provided such candidates shall have been horn of American parents on American soil, and shall have been educated in American inststutions, and furthermore that they will use all the influence that they may possess to elect all such candidates upon whom they know to be opposed to foreign influence, Ropery, Jesuitism and Catholicism, without any hesitation whatever.When the candidates are invested with the third degree, still another oath is made,\u2014to the following effect ;\u2014 \u201c I also promise and swear that I will contribute my means in such sums as I can spare without personal inconvenience,to the advancement of our views and to the extension of American principles through the medium of the Grand Council of the State of- To all these, and those I do most sincerely promise, declare and swear, binding myself under no less a penalty than that of having my grave trampled on by foreigners, and to have my memory cursed by my children and my children\u2019s children, as a traitor to their welfare, to my country and to my God.So help me God aud witness my obligations.\" Then follows another address from the Judge Advocate concluding ie this wise :\u2014 \u201c The peculiar formation of our Order is such, and its designs so accord with the wishes of its members, that by a system of concerted action on the part of our brotherhood, we can bring about a series of practical results in our governmental policy that would in any other light be deemed wholly impracticable.Simply and alone it is in vain to contend against the hydra headed monsters of Jesuitism and Catholicism, but united in one common cause, determined to secure the liberties of our native land at all hazards, or perish in the attempt, we cannot fail of success.Our cause is a righteous oue, the motives which actuate us are of no ordinary character, and we trust that no brother among us will ever be found absent from his post in the hour of dauger.\u201d The candidate then pays a dime to the Secretary as the initiation of each degree, and fifty cents on first entering the Ante Room for examination.After the third degree has been administered, the Secretary gives him a travelling card like this ; OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOq JOHN SMITH is a member in good ° standing of Molly ° Stabs Council, No.40, of the State of 0 Virginia.\t0 John Stiles, Sec.° Revolution in Nicaragua.\u2014Vera Cruza papers of

wounded, and retreated with 400 men to Granada, where he was making arrangements to embark.At tbe last dates, tbe insurgents had not succeeded in making themselves masters of Granada, where they were rigorously opposed by Chamarro.A body of the insurgents had set out to take possession of San Carlos, an important city which commands Lake Nicaragua and the entrance of the San Juan river.Maximo Jerez, \u201c General-in-Chief of the Democratic army of Nicaragua,\u201d who is at the head of the movemeot.fhaa addressed a proclamation to his fellow-citizens, dated on the 8th of May, in which he declares that the sole end he has proposed to himself is to rescue his country from the insupportable tyranny of Chamarro.He says that he will forget the political dissensions which have hitherto agitated the country, and those who shall exert themselves to re-establish liberty, may calculate on the impartial protection of the new government.ISTEKMEKTS ON THE 16th AUGUST.Males.Females Catholic Cemetery.6\t6 Protestant Cemetery.\t3\ti fseab Ks.mffuA j Total number of interments 15.Number of children 9.Number of cholera cases 4, of which Immigrants 1.Holidays Wanted.\u2014We find the following plea for more holidays in the money article of the London Times :\u2014 The recent suggestion of a correspondent of tbe Times for the selection of a certain number of days in the year as national holydays has attracted attention in the city, apart trom any relation to the Crystal Palace Sunday question.Generally, an impression prevails that the sys tem of unrelieved application to business peculiar to this country is owing to a degree of tenacity with which the commercial classes resist all attempts to mitigate if, but the fact is directly opposite.Whenever the idea that some occasional periods of relief should be established is presented, it is the business people of the country who most welcome it, and the reason it has never been acted npon will more probably be found in the circumstance of the Legislature having always comprised a majority whose time is at their own command, and who have consequently little sympathy with the desire for an occasional day of cessation entertained by those who are chained to a routine course of occupation.As the number of members of Parliament engaged in trading avocations increases, a different feeling will perhaps grow up, and the advantage of a limited set of definite holydays will be recognized and enforced.At present the inconvenience sustained by business men from the absence of such a system is incalculable, since all who are engaged in active trade without a partner are shut out from every possibility of absenting themselves to pay occasional visits to particular localities or to distant correspondents, which would often be of importance to their future profits.When the persons in their employ, moreover, take such holydays us are sometimes inevitable, it must, as tbe course of buisness runs on every day, be when their services are wanted, while these holydays, at the same time, lose more than half their value from their being no simultaneous action in the matter to allow of one friend availing himself of such an occasion to meet another.Even in the United States, where every man, from the highest to the lowest, is keenly absorbed in traffic or speculation, there is nothing like the incessant and deadening application that prevails on this side.Altogether, they have five 'public holydays in the year\u2014 namely, Christmas-day Good Friday, the 1st of January, the 4th of July, aud an annual occasion called thanksgiving-day.And not only is this country distinguished from all others by tbe total absence of such arrangements, but even here the system, in its present hard style, is comparatively recent.Formerly there were numerous holydays at all the public offices, and wbèn these were done away with, because of tbe inconvenience they occasioned frpm their unnecessary frequency, and from tbe fact of tbe public being often ignqrant of their precise dates, no tetter plan was substituted.The evil, also, is increased by its falling on the most intelligent and respectable of the hard working portion of the community, since all the rougher classes take, in a desultory and, consequently, injurious manner, such relaxation as they please.Henceforth, however, it may be hoped the public will disabuse themselves of the impressiou thaï the difficulty in the way of a more agreeable practice corues from a blind greediness on the part of people of business.These people know too well the advantages they gain in work from anything that imparts cheerfulness and a morive to raise money for occasions of rational enjoyment oq the part of those they employ.They kuow also how such things stimulate the tardé of rhe country, and the depresson thaï is felt and the loss that is sustained by the railway interest in particular evpn when an instance occurs of OhrLt-mas-day falling on a Sunday.It is true they would rightly shrink from any attempt to convert our population from their steady love of labour to restless habits of idleness passing from one extreme to another ; but, with the long experience of a trading city like New Y'ork before them, they would rejoice if six or eight such occasions were given during the year, instead of, as now, only two, or sometimes one.Molly Strk Council, No.40, [*] Richmond, Va.oooooooooooooooooooo' This card is carried in the pocket-book, and admits a member to any council in the State.According to this showing\u2014and granting that it is all true\u2014the \u201c Know-Nothing\u201d organization and the ends they propose to accomplish, are, after all, substantially the same as those of the Order of United Americans.Their identity is indisputable.An Irish Gentleman\u2019s Pcbtbait as Dbawn by an Aechbishop.\u2014Archbishop Hughes, has thus limned John Mitchel, of the Citizen : Mr.Mitchel is by no means an obscure personage.He was one of those who collected faggots to burn his country.But he was sent abroad before the moment when he might like others have seized from the pile the remaining end of a charged Stick.«so.Mr.Mitchel is the Irish patriot who made the magnificent discovery in military tactics, that a good plan would be to fling vitriol from the tops of all Dublin houses more than one story high, on the passers by in the streets, without inqui-ring whether the fiery liquid should fall on the head of the friend or the enemy of his country.\" Mr.Mitchel is the patriot who proclaimed, in the days when the British Government laughed in its sleeve at the tom-fooleries of Young Ire-landism, and allowed them rope to hang themselves without incurring itself the responsibility of fixing the noose, that be would compel Lord Clarendon, or some Lord-Lieutenant for the time being to meet him in a Court of Justice.,\t0 Mr.Mitchel is tbe same patriot who did not meet Lord Clarendon in a Court of Justice, but met lawyers and judges who, rightfully or wrongfully, sent him forth on a straggling tour to Van Dieman's Land.***\u2022\u2022\u2022 Mr.Mitchel is the same Irish patriot who complains that he, among others, was convicted ini-quitously by a Jury of Castle Protestants of Ireland,\u2014and yet he, like others, contended for keeping the parole d\u2019honneur with such \u201c scoundrels\u201d in Van Dieman\u2019s Land as those by whom be and they were convicted.\u2022\t\u2022\t\u2022\t« Mr.Mitchel turns up as the apologist of the scurvy tricks winch hia associates played, whether in Conciliation Hall oralSlievegamon,after his taking leave of the country.At a period when the Irish people were cut off by famine the rate of a thousand a day, and, though he would always regret war when it can be avoided still the Archbishop could not imagine that after so long an attuning of the windbags of Dublin, portending the approach of a revolutionary hurricane, the whole matter should end in a very innocent white squall at Slievegamon.\u201d [And Archbishop Hughes is the same Aroh-bishpp who, when the Irish Directory in New York were collecting money to supply the same John Mitchel with arms, subscribed $600 to buy a shield, as it did not, he said, become the Clergy to contribute to shed blood.\u2014Ep.M.H.] Infantile Mortality.\u2014The frightful mortality which has taken place among young children in all our large cities during the recent hot wéâ-» ther, has been frequently noticed.The Rochester Democrat alluding to the subject^ says :\u2014 There is certainly some cause for this, and it is due to the science as well as to the philanthropy of the age that this cause should be distinctly ascertained and pointed out.With more favorable opportunity for obtaining tbe necessaries of life, and consequently cherishing their children, the inhabitants of the American cities are still exposed to the painlul necessity of consigning thousands of their offspring to what must be considered premature graves.Nor is this mortality confined to the children of the poor ; a close examination, we doubt not, would show that it is chiefly among those who are surrounded with all the comforts and in many instances the luxuries which riches command, that infantile diseases find their most numerous and unresisting victims.The subject is a suggestive one, and deserves to be thoronghly discussed by those competent to the task.10 WEE CANADA.Fike at Quebec.\u2014Last night, at about halfpast eleven o\u2019clock, a fire, which at one time threatened to be very extensive, broke out in the dry goods store of Messrs.Hardy & Marchildon, corner ot Sous-le-Fort and Notre Dame Streets, and adjacent to the old French Church (routing in the Lower Town markei-place.The engines being somewhat tardy in their arrival, not only the premises in which tbe fire originated, but likewise the buildings on tbe opposite sides of the above streets were enveloped by tbe flames before any attempt was made to arrest their progress.Tbe firemen, however, when on the spot, used their moat untiring exertions to save the neighboring property, aud though the hardware store ot Mr.Shaw and another house or two are very considerably damaged, we are glad to say that the ravages of the conflagration have been mainly confined to Messrs.Marchildon & Hardy\u2019s store and the adjoining building, occupied by Mr.Chas.Leveillé as a flour and provision store.The church was fora long time considered in the most imminent danger, and its safety may be entirely attributed to the assistance rendered by (he clergy and Nos.8 and 9 fiie companies.We have been unable to learn either the cause of the fire or the amounts for which the sufferers were insured.\u2014 Chronicle, lÿth.room just in

movement came from several Mexicans in this city, who represented that thev had a contract with the Mexican Government fur the supply of a certain quantity of muskets, and wished to purchase tbe lot held by Mr.Law.Letters confirmatory of ibis statement were exhibited, and the owner of the muskets was induced to purchase a vessel and send them out, to be delivered upon satisfactory payment.Mr.Beach was entrusted with the property, and the vessel sailed.When she reached the Gulf, Mr.Beach found out that the letters exhibited to induce the sale of the muskets were forgeries, and his principal had just escaped beiug swindled.Mr.Beach, upon discovering the imposition, commenced negotiations with Santa Anna, and we have some reason to suppose that he had succeeded in his purpose, when he was seized with the illness that terminated so fatally.\u2014Journal of Commerce.The Crystal Palace Directors have authorized their President to sell the entire concern,, with all the

Architects have decided that the Palace can be taken down, removed to the Battery and put up again for $50,000 or less, or be taken down, removed to Philadelphia or Boston, and put up for less than $75,000.Goods and machinery are said to be coming into the Palace in considerable quantities, much improving the appearance of things.\u2014N- K.four, of Com.Life In Texas for a ForUiigiita Captain Van Buren.\u2014It, is but just to the memory of this gallant soldier, that the particulars of his fight with a greatly superior war party of Cumaache Indians, on the plains of Texas, should be made known.\t- This officer, with only eleven men, took up the trail of these Indians on the 3rd ot July, near the Las Moras, in the vicinity of Fort Duncan.\u2014 With two Lipan Indians as guides, he followed the .trail, over three hundred miles.Three times the Indians crossed and recrossed the Nueces to elude bis pursuit.His diligence was not abated.He swam and reswam the river, and again took up the broken trail.On the nth, having pursued them oter three hundred miles, he came upon them in the open plain, and they prepared to receive him.The Indians dismounted, cast away every thing except their lances, shields, bows and quivers.They moved off in echelon as he approached them, keeping their horses between him and Lis front Ha dismounted his men within rifle raoge, and delivered his first fire.Before his rifles could be reloaded, the Indians vaulted upon their horses and dashed into his ranks.\u2014 He mounted his men and received them with revolvers.He was soon discovered as the commander, and iheir arrows fell about him \u201c thick and fast.\u201d His first wound was through tbe bridle fore arm, emirely paralyzing that arm; yet he continued to manage his horse, and was foremost in the haud-to-hand conflict that followed.He soon received another arrow through and thro\u2019 the abdomen ; but with this mortal wound he continued to dhect, cheer, aud animate his men, until he had completely routed his enemy.Their head chief was left dead ; four others mortally wounded, were left dead within five miles.Five of Captain Van Buren\u2019s men were wounded severely but not mortally.His horse was badly wounded, aud two arrows, beside those in hia body, were left in his clothes and saddle.When the Indians had retreated, he was taken from his horse, drew out the arrow, and faint from bleeding, prepared to die.He sent the express to Fort Ewell for relief.Colonel Roberts, commanding with its surgeon, set out with a small party, and, after riding fifty hours, reached the scere of action.Captain Van Buren was still living, nut bad suffered beyond imagination from thirst and excessive beat.Colonel Roberts sent him to Corpus Christi, where he lived until the 20th, when he died from internal hemorrhage.If we consider this pursuit of a large party of well appointed Cumanche warriors, under a tropical auu, over a country uninhabited by a living being\u2014in all its relations, it may be declared oue of the most heroic actions in the history of onr Indian conflicts.A man named J.F.Walsh, says the Brenham Enquirerof the 31st ult., who has been officiating as

Flaindealer, that on Monday our citizens were thrown into consternation on bearing that Charles Pinkley bad committed a most barbarous murder upon his wife.The tragic scene occurred about 12 o\u2019clock at night, in the house of the murderer ; aud daring the perpetration the wife screamed and roused her mother, who rushed into the Proposed Alterations In the Services of the Church of Kngiand.(Abridged from the London Times, July 21.) The two Houses of Convocation, were assembled at Westminster on Thursday last to receive reporis from their own committees on certain questions affecting the interests of the Church.In these reports, suggestions are offered of very considerable value.One of these refers to tbe length and composition of the church services now solemnised, the other to the ministerial agencies by which the spiritual functions of the church are discharged.That the service most usually frequented\u2014 that, namely, of the Sunday or holyday morning \u2014is considerably too long very few people will be found to deny ; and the arrangement appears the more objectionable, that this excessive length arises, not from any canonical prescription, but from the aggregation of severa! services into one.The committee lay it down as \u201c of tbe utmost importance in tbe present state of the Church that the services, as now ordered in the Book of Common Prayer, should be preserved entire and un altered,\u201d\u2014an opinion in which we are entirely disposed to concur.But it does not follow that, because these services should be maintained in integrity they should therefore be solemnized in groups of more than one at a rime.Aeçording to present usage, the order for morning prayer forms only a portion of the morning service.First of all, the Litany is interpolated, though this is a service distinct in Itself.Then comes psalmody, although this is a repetition of wbat has already gone before.The Psalms of David contribute a feature to our form of worship which no one would desire to see lost, and, as psalms are sprirituai songs, they should naturally be snug.In cases where decorous singing is beyond the \u2018 powers of the congregation they may, of course, be read, but it is hard to see on what principle they should be read and sang too.After the Litany and psalmody comes a third distinct service\u2014that of the Holy Communion\u2014and after the Holy Communion, or that portion of the service solemnized before non-communicants, there follows a sermon.The result of all this aggregation is a single service of more than two hours' length\u2014a length far too great for the proper attention of even adult worshippers, not to speak ot its pressure upon the minister engaged.The committee impressed with the force of objections thus created, have adopted the expedient of disentangling the services from each other, without attempting to mutilate any of them.They recommend a separation of morning prayer from the Holy Communion, so that the order for either might be used singly, provided that every part of the morning service, including not only the Litany, when appointed to be read, but also q sermon,\" sbould be used at some time or other in the course of tbe morning.In considering this subject, it should always be remembered that there is one argument which, however commonplace it may seem, must take precedence of all others.The first and most imperative condition of an order for Divine service is, that it should be within thé ordinary powers of human attention\u2014not of attention as it might exist under the influence of extraordinary devotion, but of attention as it must always be found in 900 worshippers out of 1,000.A service which cannot be listened to is like a book which cannot be read, and its qualities, however inestimable, are utterly lost for the want ot that one which would bring tbem into use.This consideration acquires additional force from the usages by which Divine worship in this, country is attended.In continental churches it is usual for people to go in and out without notice or disturbance, according to inclination or convenience ; butin England the congregation assembles and departs in a body.The other suggestion of the committee concerns the additional agency required for the more effectual teacbmg of the Gospel in crowded dis-tricts, and it is repommended that lay agency should be employed, the greater facilities should be given for access to deacon\u2019s orders, and that bpdies ot clergy should be organized for the special purpose of missionary operations.Itissug-gested that in the centres of ignorance and vice, clergymen should be placed, \u201c who might, with a view to economy, Christian iellowship, and united action, live together, minister in one central church, and, labour around it in preaching, exhorting, visiting the sick and poor, and superintending schools.\u201d Nothing could be more reasonable, nor have we anything to add except that we appear to be reading, the description of a collegiate establisbment.engaged in its proper duties.If cathedral stalls can be utilized by attaching to them obligations of academical teaching, they may surely be charged with the more purely spiritual functions so ably sketched by a committee of Convocatiou.IÎY TEIaEGRAPH.A Curious Story of a Masonic Bible.\u2014A correspondent thus writes \u201c It may not be known to yon that the; Freemasons of the 46th Regiment now stationed inWiudsor, have in their possession the original Bible belongihg to Lodge 227 of the Irish Constitution, once.in existence in that corps, upon which George Washington, afterwards Commander-In-Chief of tbs army in tbe United States, was initiated into the rites of of freemasonry.This book was taken in battle ; once in 1777, during the American war, andonce by the French, at Dominica, in 1805, and each time honorably restored to the lodge of the 46th, with a military escort as a guard of honor.Each case of restoration was a scene of moral beauty \u2014a triumphant vindication of the purity ot masonic principles.The surprise and feelings of both officers and men may be imagined when they perceived the flag of truce that announced this elegant compliment from their gallant opponents but still noble brethren, who offered by the act, tbe acknowledgement and homage of an enlightened nation to the purity, value, and utility of masonry.1 am sure Brother Tyffe (Major) to whose charge this \u201cjewel\u201d is entrusted, will allow his fellow-craft to view this, to them most interesting relic of days gone by, especially as it is again about to brave the dangers of active service.May God speed these gallant fellows wherever they go l\u201d\u2014Windsor and Eton Press.Tricks of Tailors.\u2014The Home Journal, in a pleasant homily upon the ways of tailors, shows up some of the tricks of trade :\u2014 \u201c Tailors must live\u2014at least they think so, and we have no objection.Yet they are very great tyrants, and have ingenious ways for torturing their victims.One way is this : They invent a fashion which is strikingly peculiar and get it into vogue, by various arts best known to themselves; for example, very short overcoat», with long waists, which look well on men like Count Rossi, whose figure is faultless.The next movement, after every body is overcoated for the winter, is to bring out a garment which differs as much as possible from the on» in fashion\u2014that is an overcoat with skirts to the heels and waist under the armpits.They get half a dozen of men of high fashion, who look well in anything, to parade this new invention in Broadway, and make the short-coated majority appear out of date.\u2014 The manœuvre succeeds ; all the dandies are driven to the extravagance of ordering a superfluous coat; the tailors smile, and the dandies bleed, or their fathers do.Home time ago our tailor-tyrants put us all into long waistcoats and consequently into continutions that just lapped over the hips\u2014Suddenly the waistcoats were abbreviated four inches.What was the consequence?Why, of course the continuations fail to connect, and he who would not exhibit to mankind a broad belt of white around his waist, was compelled to discard all his store of well saved unameabies.And in vain shall the oldest customer protest and order garments of the last fashion.Consider my reputation, sir, says the tailor with an air of offended majesty.\u201d The Gbeat Bfll of Vienna.\u2014For a birthday excursion, I yesterday ascended the tower of St.Stephen, which rises up to the enormous height of 439.About 200 feet above the floor we reached the Cathedral bell, the largest in Germany, weighing 35.400 pounds.A small family could live couveniently under the immense structure.It is 11 feet high and lOj^ wide.Eight men are required to ring it, as the clapper alone weighs 1400 pounds.It was cast in 1711 by the Emperor Joseph I.from 180 Turkish.cannons taken by the Austrians.At the height of 250 feet is the clock.In the room with the latter is stationed a man to watch for the breaking out of fires in the city and suburbs.He takes tbe angle by means of a fine telescope, and on a chart prepared for the purpose, finds the street and house.The alarm is then given.I ascended to the top of the tower, but as it inclines three feet from a perpendicular, and trembles at the slightest blow, I did not remain long at so a dizzy a height.\u2014Correspondence of the Northern Advocate.TRADE AND COMMERCE.NEW YORK MARKETS\u2014August 15.Ashes unsettled, and sales light.Fish lower;
