evening.The most exaggerated and often contradictory accounts both as to the cause and extent of the calamity are already in circulation, the killed and wounded varying in the reports from four to 40.What the actual loss of life will prove ultimately to be it is at present impossible to* say ; foiir of the poor firemen and stokers have already perished, and three or four more remain in such a state as leaves but little hope of their lives being Saved.The explosion which has now cast so\u2019sad a gloom over the trip round to Portland took place in the forward funnel, lower deck cabins to the boilers.It was probably one of the most terrific which a vessel has ever survived, and which none in the world coiild have withstood save a structure of such marvellous strength and solidity as the Great Eastern.The strongest line-of-battle ship would have had her sides blown out by it, and must have gone down like a stone.The Great Eastern not only resisted it, but in spite of the dreadful nature of the catastrophe, it made so little difference to the movements of the vessel that her engines were never once stopped, and, save for half an hour, her course was never altered from its original destination to this harbour.In order fully to understand as far as it is yet known the cause of the accident, it will be necessary to say a few words on the peculiar construction of the two forward funnels for the paddle boilers.In the first plans for the vessel it was determined,in order to economize the heat given off by the funnels, and to keep the saloons through which they passed cool, to lit them all with what IS \u2019termed \u201c à'feed-pipe casing,\u201d rising from the boilers to about eight feet above the upper deck.This feed-pipe casing is simply a double or outer funnel for the length we have stated, the inner one, as usual carrying off the smoke and flame, and the space between it and the outer casing being filled with water.The water is pumped in at the top of the casing while cold, and gradually passing down into the space round the furnaces, becomes greatly heated, when it is discharged into the boilers by means of an ordinary stop-cock.A plan by which so much coolness is supposed to be gained in the berths and saloons and so much fuel saved by the ample supply of hot water to the boilers, promises - such obvious advantages that for the last ten years attempts of every kind have been made to carry out the principle succesfully on board of most of our sea going steamers.In no one instance has the plan ever Succeeded.In but too many Cases the funnels have done what the funnel of the Great Eastern did on such a collossal scale last Friday evening.When such an accident has not occurred the pressure of the column of water upon the base of the funnel near the furnaces has been so great as to cause them when strained in bad weather or worn by long usj, to lean into the fires and extinguish them more or less rapidly.Any one the least conversant with boiler mechanism will see, too, at a glance that the safety of the whole affair depends upon the stop-cock which lets off the water into the boilers, being watched with unremitted vigi-j lance.The neglect of this for half an hour would allow steam to generate in the casing, which would then, in plain terms, become a gigantic boiler, without a valve or any means of letting off its steam, save by blowing up.A strict inquiry will doubtless be instituted by the Board of Trade, aud pending that examination it would be both unwise and unjust to express any opinion on facts which, at the best incapable of performing its duty properly, or was not attended to at all.The casings of the two forward funnels of the great Eastern held each about seven or eight tons of water, and the forward one at least, it is now evident might have exploded at any moment during the voyage, when the grand saloon was filled with the visitors on board to listen to thé admirable music of the ship\u2019s band.The splendid performances of tbe ship during the cruise down channel on Friday, herjunrivalled power, speed, and steadiness, can 'be referred to hereafter.it is best to relate at once the unhappy accident,, which it is much to be feared may, though mos t unuecessarilypnake the public timid' about the success of the npblest ship which the world, has yet seen.The visitors who were passengers on board numbered about 100, and, as may readily be believed, included among them some of the most distinguished navigators, engineers, and scientific men in Europe.All as usual were assembled at dinner at about half-past 5 o\u2019clock or Friday, when before the desert came on two gentlemen left the chairman\u2019s table to look, at the coast near Hastings.Mr Campbell the.Marquis , of Stafford, Earl Mountcharles, Lord Alfred Paget, and a few others followed, Without waiting tor dessert.The departure of these gentlemen from the saloon, as it happened broke up the dinner party, and instead of retiring to the grand saloon as usual, nearly all the visitors came on deck and went right forward in the bows.About 30 remained at tablé, a few.wercon the bridge with Mr.Campbell, and thus, by a most merciful interposition,it happened,, for the firsi time during the voyage, that there was no one sitting in the grand saloon, and no one, on tbe little raised deck round the foremost funuel.One or two gentlemen were congratuiaung; Mr.Campbell on the almost marveUpus success, pf the ship, when in the apace pf a ?econd there, was a terrific explosion.The forward part of the deck appeared to spring like a mine, blowing the funnel up into the air;.There was a contused heavy roar, amid which came the awful crash of timber and iron mingled together with frightful uproar, and then all was hidden in a rush of steam.Blinded and almost stunned by the overwhelming concussion, those on the bridge stood motionless in the white vapour till they were reminded of the necessity ot seeking shelter by the showpr of wreck\u2014glass, gilt work, saloon ornament?, and pieces of wood, wïtick began to fall like rain in all directions.The prolonged clattqr of these as they fell prevented any one aft the bridge from moving, and though all knew that' a fearful accident bad occurred, none were aware of its extent or what was likely next to happen.After a short interval, during which the white steam still obscured all aft the funnel, Captain Oomatock.LwUo was gft.ilig, byjtep, only ascertain by peering oyer the edge of the paddle-box that the vessel\u2019s sides were, uninjured, and the engines still going.Gradually then, as the steam cleared off) the , foremost funuel could be seen lying like a log across the deck, which was covered with bits of glass, gilding, fragments of curtains and silk hangings, window frames, scraps of wood blown into splinters, and a mass of fragments, which had evidently come from the cabin fittings of the lower deck, beneath the grand saloon.In the middle was a great heap of rubbish where the funnel had just stood, from which the condensed steam was rushing up in a white, and therefore not hot, vapour, but enough to hide completely all that had happened below.In another minute all the passengers came rushing towards the spot.The 20 or 30 who had remained at table in tbe saloon next that which blew up came on deck also, and it will give your readers some idea of the gigantic strength of the vessel when I tell them that these latter until they actually saw the smash were almost unaware of the terrific explosion which had occurred beside them.Captain Harrison, who was aft at the moment, rushed forward, and seizing a rope, lowered himself down through the steam into the wreck of the grand saloon, and calling to six men to follow him, began a search among the ruins for those who might have been below.The only one in the apartment was his own little daughter, who had just arrived at the after part at the moment ol the explosion, and who, completely sheltered by the wrought iron bulkhead, had escaped, by a miracle, totally unhurt.Captain Harrison merely gave the order to pass her up through the sky-lights, aud continued his search.This was no easy matter.The wreck and rubbish piled iu all directions in the ladies\u2019 small saloon, forward of the funnel, made it difficult to move about.The steam hid almost every object ; the place was broken, the floor in parts upneaved and riven, so as to show a still more frightful smash in the saloons and cabins below.Through these apertures the bright glare beneath the lower deck of all showed that the furnace doors had either been blown open or blown away, and the funnel being gone, the draught was down the remains of the chimney, forcing out the flames and ashes in a fierce aud dangerous stream.This, as the embers touched water, sent up a close suffocating air,\u2014half steam, half gas,\u2014in which it was difficult to see and almost inipoâsible to breathe.In thé meantime most oh board, including the visitors, took steps, to rèstorè order and confidence.As I have already said, there were no holiday tourists there, or the matter would have been much worse, Some of the ablest engineers and machinists were on deck, who could pretty well guess what had happened and what worse might follow.A funnel, filled similarly to that which had blown up, was evidently getting intensely hot, and of those present none knew to what extent its \u201cjackett\u201d or outward casing, had been damaged or how soon it might explode.Mr.Scott Russoil, followed by one or two engineers, at .o'nce went below to the furnaces of these boilers, and ordered the steam to be bunvn ()\u2018b tbe speed of the engines to be reduced, and every precaution taken to guard against mishap.Hr.Campbell remained calm w«d,oC0^Cted 0B Heck, getting the crew for-waru and preventing any unnecessary alarm, tpome ot the men-instantly went.below to search tot those employed in the stokeholes, whom it was noW| evident mus] be fearfully injured, if indeed alive.At this moment a cry was raised of aman overboard.Some of the crew and many of the passengers went aft, when something like the figure of a human being was visible among the waves.Life buoys, gratings,, aud bits of timber were thrown over all at once, and two gentlemen were endeavouring to lower lathe one.ifnfiàppïlÿ, however,' it was but too true, as was afterwaros ascertained.The man was a fireman, and when the explosion took place he rushed to avoid the steam to the aperture out ot which the ashes were emptied, and from this jumped aud caught at a beam under the \u201c spon'son,\u201d in front of the paddles.To this, it is said, he hung for a few moments, when probably weakened by the explosion or scalded by.the steam, he relaxed his hold, and falling under the paddles was, of course, instantly killed by them, and so floated past astern.All that I have stated occurred in the space of three or four minutes.Mr.Trot-man, with one or two others, went below to the lower deck cabins, where one at least was known to be covered by tbe wreck while Captain Harrison came on deck and ordered the ship\u2019s course to be altered towards the land till it could be ascertained that there was no immediate danger from fire or injury to the frame of the vessel below.The latter risk appeared to be the most imminent, as the flames werestill rushing fiercely from the furnace doors.The hose was therefore ordered to be laid on and instant preparations made for extinguishing the fires.During this time some gallant fel-, lows among the crew had gone down to the stoke-hole to see after, those below, and bring the poor firemen who were on duty near the funnel at the time on deck as quickly as possible.It was said that only two or three men were below, and these men were but slightly injured, though it was, unfortunately, soon found that there were not less than twelve more or less hurt.Two or three of these poor fellows walk ed up to the deck almost, if not quite, unassisted, and this may have led to the belief that their injuries were slight.Their aspect, however, told its own tale, and none who had ever seen blown-up men before could fail to know at a glance that some had only two or three hours to live.A man blown un by gunpowder is a mere figure of raw flestq'which seldom move?after the explosion.Not so with men bio wn up by steam, who for a few minutes are able to walk about, apparently almost unhurt, though in fact mortally injured beyond, all.hope of re-! covery.Fearful as was the explosion, it was seen that, owing to the immense strength of the ship, its violence had been entirely confined to the compartment in which it had occurred.\u2014 Beyond this no injury was done of any kind, excepta stray piece breaking a skylight here or there.Prudently, therefore, and in order to prevent exaggerated reports or unnecessary alarm, it was determined to resume the original course and steer for Portland.All danger from fire or another explosion being now at an end, those who chose were enabled to go down and examine for themselves the scene of the disaster.The fore part of Mr.Grace\u2019s beauti-lul saloon was a pile of glittering rubbish.In the more forward part, a state sitting-room for ladies, every single thing was destroyed, and Jdi's\u2019tv'biite^e\u2019iiriiug'iaAuB sartioîi;\u201cih-''diiubst fearful to think upon.But the damage in this part seemed a mere bagatelle when compared with the ravages among the lower deck cabins beneath.It was difficult to go down there, for the whole place was filled with fragments, pf boards, chairs, beds, cabin fittings, broken steam pipes and syphon tubes, torn-out rivets, and masses of the inner and outer funnels rent to pieces like calico, and lying about like heaps of crumpled cardboard.Everything was ip literal fragments.The course of the explosion could then be seen at once.Beneath this deck, towards the stoke-hole, where the remnants of the funnel left a yawning hole like an extinct volcano, the force of the explosion was still more manifest.The ruin here would be an instructive sight for engineers, to witness.It would be still' better it medical men could inspect them and solve the problem of how it can possibly have happened that men who stood round the base ot the funnel when it exploded, and when tons of iron were torn up and cast about, were not only not.killed on tbe spot, but scarcely one was unable to walk, and not one has sustained a fracture or dislocation.This is at present an inexplicable circumstance.In some parts the explosion seems to have acted with the capricious violence of lightning.\u2014 Thus, in the grand saloon the~two largest mirrors on each side of it, running fore and aft, were quite unbroken, though the silvering was,, boiled off the backs of both by the heat of the steam.^orojj there seemed a fair chance of seeing next ay how she would comport herself in a smart sea down channel.The.glass fell as the wind sea rose.The send began to fly across the tii»0*1-\u2019s'ee*' drizzled at intervals, and ened .shroa(l3 began to hum with a s arp noise as if the very rigging was GraduaU v Ut4/0r ?COnflîct with the elements, clondq\tgrevv overcast, not with and air wp & u°lforni thick tint, as if

tïoi?iThe dawn disappointed no one wnni/Th hKed t0- kn0W how the Great Eastern wouid behav© m a seaway.The anchor was got up, and the run down channel commenced, the Girdler Sands being passed soon after ten.\u2014 The breeze kept freshening, till it amount-edfat time to a gale, and the old music among the shrouds and.rigging became louder and louder.Margate and Kamsgate and the North and South Forelands were passed in that hasy water scud, when the sea and sky are so mingled together that it is hard to tell where the spray ends and the clopds begin.In the Downs the wind freshened considerably, coming dead a-head, and for the first time a fair compa-risonjof the Great Eastern with other ships could be made at sea.A heavy swell was running, and large vessels were lying-to under close-reefed topsails, pitching deeply to the sea, and sending the spray in clouds from their bows.At this time the Great Eastern was as motionless as a rock.Now and then heavy rollers passed her, but their size andaction could only be known by observing their effect on other ships.A number of the passengers went forward to tbe extreme end of the bows, and remained watching the stern of the vessel by comparing it with the line of the horrizon to detect a movement.Only by such a rigid test as this could it be discerned that the Great Eastern was mowing gently now and then, scarcely more than a foot along her entire length, as the waves rushed under her.It was calculated that the surface of the Great Eastern opposed to the wind was equal to an adverse pressure of upwards of 1,200 tons, and made a ^difference of between three and Yet, with her paaaies'oniy gtfliFK WA&i revolutions, and her screw from 25 to 30 (which was exactly what is called half-speed), the mean average of her pace gave more than 12 knots an hour.After passing Dover the weather began to clear, and the afternoon became so fine that some of the passengers, as I have already said, were tempted up from dinner to look at the coast near Hastings.Off this town the accident took place, an accident which all must deplore, and not the less so as being likely, for a short time, to make people distrust what, in fact, will prove the safest vessel in the world.No arrangements are yet made for the departure of the vessel on her trial trip, but there is no doubt that it must be postponed for many days later than was originally intended.The following are the names of those killed and injured: Mr.William Briscoe, engineer; slightly injured.John Boyd fireman ; dead.Michael M\u2019llroy, fireman; dead.Michael Mahon, fireman; dead.Edward Patrick Gormon, trimmer; jumped overboard to escape the steam and lost.William Tait, trimmer ; expected to recover.JohnYoxon, trimmer; expected to recover.Richard Edwards, fireman; dangerously burnt and scalded.Robert Adams, fireman ; ditto.William Sparks, fireman; ditto.Walter Woodward fireman; ditto.{From the \u201c Times\u201d of the 13lh Sept.) Portland-Roads, Monday.Now that the first excitement caused by the late dreaful.accident onboard the Great East-ere has partially subsided, the extent of the damage done and tne probable senses the extent.of the damage done and the probable causes of the explosion can be ascertained with a comparative degree of certainty.In the first place it is evident that the damage done to thet ship is by no means so considerable as was a-first anticipated, nor indeed is it one tythe as-great as might have been expected from the tere rific nature of the explosiou.The light woode work of the berths and cabins and tbe fragile decorations of the grand saloon have of course been either entirely demolished or very much damaged, but the real solid structure of the ship, has resisted the explosion as completely as if it had been but that of a pistol.The iron main deck beams in the immediate vicinity of the spot where the explosion originated, and tho massive iron work by which they are connected round the funnel are torn and rent like paper showing the violence of the concussion, but the longitudinal and transverse bulkheads (in which tb» real strength of the vessel consists) have resist-k\u2019 ibiiiiivtvfc -\u2018.'w\tkJ-\tu m \" chairman, the directors on board, and Captain Harrison, by whom it was immediately determined to proceed witu the repair ot the damage at once.A survey was immediately made, and estimates sent in for making good the damages, which do not exceed £5,000 of which £1,000 will be consumed in redecorating the grand saloon.As to the cause of the accident there can now no longer be a doubt, but, as the blame will no doubt tall heavily on those who are responsible for the melancholy occurrence, it wouid unadvisable to say more at present.\u2014 Two more of the unfortunate men have died,\u2014 viz., Robert Adams and Richard Edwards.The inquest on the five men who are now lying dead will he held to-day, in the Townhall, when doubtless the evidence will clearly show who are to be held responsible for the sacrifice of life which has occurred.The boiler, as far as can be iudged from s superficial examination, stands firm ; a close scrutiny, however,-will, be necessary to enable the engineers to determine whether any part of it, more especially its tubes, are uninjured.It seems almost too much to hope that when such a severe concussion was experienced, it can have escaped entirely without injury.Neap and upon the boiler lie scraps and morsels of the funnels, which show where the first tearing away commenced before the inner casing was blown up to the deck.This, as far as the most diligent inquiry and close personal observation have enabled me to ascertain, is a fair and candid account of the accident.It is idifficult in mere words to fall into any exaggeration iu describing the .effects of such great explosions.I have said no more than the circumstances warrant, to say less would be equally wrong.As far, then, as this short cruise is cojicerned,.! have up to the present given only the dark side of the picture.In candour to the public, and in justice to all connected with this noble vessel, it is right that the .bright should be told as well.Every engineer on board ;kno!WS (hat no wooden ve-sel that ever swam could have resisted the tremendous violence of the explosion for a Kôÿâi\u2019 AlGert or the General Admiral, the result would have been in each case the same ; they would have gone down, perhaps without even time enough to lower a boat.Tbe Britannia Bridge is a structure of almost unknown strength ; engineers calculate that tbe Great Eastern is ten times as strong.Yet even the ablest engineesr on board were astounded at the slight effect produced when .he tremendous nature of the explosion was considered.Again, the vessel never once stopped either screw or paddle engines, though of course after this most unfortunate mishap the forward pair of boilers were instantly put out, while the after pair to the second funnel were worked slowly and easily.The only difference this made was that the screw engines were required to go faster, and faster accordingly they went, and did all that was wanted to send the huge ship through the water \u201c at the rate of knots,\u201d as sailors say.\u2014 Any ordinary vessel, even those nominally built of iron, which only mean an outer metal casing with all the rest wood, must have been burnt by the explosion, Yet it is not too much to say, that all on board almost smiled at the idea of fire in a vessel subdivided iu every direction into a series of iron cells.Had lire been possible, the mass of water that was instantly at hand from large hose connected with the donkey engines would have sufficed to put out a small volcano.The accident might and most likely would have occurred to any vessel fitted with double casing funnels on the same principle.It is almost needless to say that the only one which now remains thus fitted will be instantly altered, the casing removed, and everything restored to the ordinary arrangements of the Cunard and Oollins line of packets.The pity of the matter is, that just at a moment when the vessel had shown the greatntss of its success an unfortunate casualty should have occurred, which for a time may shake the confidence of some in a work which, from its magnitude of conception and completeness of details, was regarded as a national triumph, and one of which the country was most justly proud.The Great Eastern, in spite of all that has happened, still remains the finest vessel that was ever built, and one over which, notwithstanding all that has been predicted to the contrary, the sea seems to exercise no influence.I brought the narrative of her voyage down to her anchoring at the Nore on Thursday night.During the passage down the river only the speed had been ascertained, and this was shown in a way which, when her trim was taken into consideration, must have surpassed the most sangnihe expectations.But as the night fell on Thursday, after anchoring at the List of Prizes awarded at tlie Hocliclaga County Agricultural Society\u2019s An nnal Exhibition, held in Montreal, September 22nd, 1859.ENGLISH CLASS.Draught Stallions imported\u20141st James Logan, Petite Cote.$IG ; 2nd John Dods, do, $12.Draught Stallions, Province Bred\u20141st John McDonald,

the first on account of the greater equality of the parties, is announced in our paper this morning.The English Eleven are accompanied by their umpire, Mr.Carpenter, who makes twelve.When in England these twelve play in different clubs known as the \u201c All Englnnd\u201d and the \u201c United Eleven\u201d\u2014six in each club.They will play against each other, with the five gentlemen whom each party may ask to join them.Lillywhite succeeded.Neither he nor his coadjutor, Diver, were very successful.Diver-making only three and Lillywhite four runs ; the first was caught by Pickering, bowled by Napier ; and the last bowled out by Napier.This made the game 8 wickets for 83 runs : aad left Lockyer and Stephenson in possession.The first run of the last named of these players tied the game.But he was almost immediately bowled out by Mr.Fisher by a fast ball fallowing immediately after a slow one.______ Eighty-six runs for nine wickets.Jackson then came in, and with Loekyer made fine play till lunch and after it.Some of their balls were driven quite to the fence, and there was a magnificent sky hit, and a hit behind the wicket, with several narrow escapes.The running was frequent and hard, and once, after running twice with good prospects for a third, Lookyer\u2019s call of \u201cagain\u201d replied to by Jackson, \u201cI can\u2019t do it.\u201d It seemed at this stage of the game, however, that though much credit was due to the brilliancy of the batsmen, some of their success was owing to the fielding not being quite up to the rest of the play.The innings was ended by Jackson being bowled out, leaving Lockyer in.The whole score made was 117.For particulars we refer to the score at foot.The Second Innings of the Canadian twenty-two kten began; the players goingiu in the same order before.The play was apparently more confident than on Saturday, and the first couple Mr.Swain and Lieut.Surman were loudly applauded when they .took the bats, which was repeated on two or three successful hits at the very start, giving them three doubles and the first four runs made at one stroke for this party, which fell to the lot of Jackson.Mr.Swain was, however, very speedily caught by Jackson off Caffyn\u2019s ball, and Lt.Bymous took his place.Lieut.Surinau shortly also resigned the bat in consequence of an unlucky leg before wicket.Mr.Bon-ner succeeded to Lt.Surman, and the first time he played the ball drove it to the fence.The effect of the excellent fielding of the English Eleven was here apparent for only one run was made, though two or perhaps three would have been counted off the same ball, if struck by the other side.Lt.Symouds was soon run aUÎ.: Jjlree XisfeelAliiyiSK fallen for eleven runs After this Mr.Bonner made a very pretty double, a couple of singles and another double, but was almost immediately stumped out by Lockyer, the wicket-keeper.\u2014Four wickets and nineteen runs.Mr.Fourdinier then came in, and Mr.Fisher soon after, having made a beautiful hit to leg which drove the ball to the tence, made a run and tried a second on the strength of it ; but this was tempting the forbearance of the adversary a little too far, and Mr.Fisher was put out.The fielding of this ball and the manner in which Lt.Bonner was stumped out, showed how impossible it was to take any liberty with such a field.\u2014Five wickets and nineteen runs.Mr.Hardiuge now took the bat, and Mr.Fourdinier, continuing bis innings, also continued a very plucky style of play, which, encountering as it did the rapid balls of Jackson, showed him to be an excellent batsman, and he was repeatedly cheered.Mr.Hardinge was caught out by Lillywhite on one of Parr\u2019s slow balls without counting a single run, and Mr.Fourdinier soon afterwards was bowled out by Jackson, having made a treble for the last of his hits by striking the fence.Mr.Rayenhill and Capt.Earle then continue ed the game\u2014the latter making one double\u2014 till the first was bowled out by Jackson at the eud ot the eighth wicket, and twenty-eight runs.He was replaced by Mr.Pickering who, was put out by one of the neatest catches made during the game.The ball\u2014one of Jackson\u2019s fiercest ones\u2014having only just touched the tip of the bat and continuing in a straight Hue right over the wicket into the hands of Lock- rlrgrzpt).BY MONTREAL J INK.Office.St.Sacrament Street.Reported / or ttie JUonrettl Herald, Iri'sVâl of tbs NORTH AMERlCAIVi Death of the Son of His Excellency i the Governor-General.\u2014It is our painful j duty to announce the death of Mr.John j Head, sou of His Excellency the Governor-1 General.We have received no particulars I of the sad event, beyond the fact that he I was drowned, on Saturday last, while I bathing in the River St.Maurice, at La| Grand Mer.Yesterday\u2019s News.\u2014The budget of news received yesterday morning by the North-Ame-rioan can scarcely be viewed as less than disastrous in its character.At home and abroad \u2014in Europe, in India and in China,\u2014it would appear as if the national resources and energies were about to be tested to the utmost.And yet it is cheering to see\u2014by that great thermometer of public opinion in England, the price of Consols\u2014how calmly and confidently the British publie looks upon the multiplied dangers which threaten England\u2019s power and indicate such enormous coming demands upon her people and purse.If we look to Europe\u2014and England cannot expect altogether to escape from the entanglements of Continental politics,\u2014we find that, while the Zurich Conference has terminated without result, even according to the Paris Moniteur, all the blood shed and treasure expended on the late Italian campaign has been barren and fruitless.That the object of the war is, apparently, as far from being attained as VVT *\trATTxainâ Convex*\u2014- - self and charged with\t^ ^ nr one an disturbance.\u201c The Austrian Emperor,\u201d says the Moniteur, \u201c alarmed by hostile demonstra-\u201c tions on the right bank of the Po, will keep \u201c up a war tooting on the left bank, and, in-\u201c stead of a policy of conciliation and peace, \u201c we shall witness a renewal of a policy ot mis-\u201c trust and hatred, which will lead to new \u201c troubles and to new disasters.\u201d If we look to India, we find, while the fires of the great rebellion of 1856-\u20197 are still smouldering, that, as the Times expresses it, from 8,000 to 10,000 of our soldiers are deserting their standards in our utmost need.\u201c The \u201c Commander-in-Chief,\u201d says the Thunderer, \u2018 we are told, warns them.Lord Canning, we \u201cknow, discharges them,\u201d and adds :\u2014\"It is \u201c quite certain that these warnings and this \u201c discharge might not have been unnecessary \u201c on the part of Lord Clyde and of the Gover-\u201c nor General, if these thousands of Engiish-\u201c men had been treated\u2014we will not say with \u201c fairness, but with tact ?Are there no means \u201c yet left to us to meet them half way, to turn \u201c them towards China, and to retain on our \u201c shores the men who will be required to fill \u201c their places, whilst they demand at Pekin the \u201c reparation which is due for the outrage on our \u201c flag, and the violation of a solemn treaty ?\u201d Most heartily and sincerely do we hope that means may be found, by which the movement indicated by the Times can be effected, and the victims of a want of \u201c tact,\u201d on the part of the Indian Government, yet be diverted from their inglorious return to Europe.Then, we have to lament the deplorable accident on board the \u201c Great Eastern,\u201d the details of which we elsewhere give from the London Times.In the whole budget, there is probably no item which will cause greater regret in Montreal than the telegraphic announcement of the death of our late Commander of the Forces.No gentlemen in bis position was ever more beloved than Sir William, and certainly none ever deserved better to be so.Lastly, we have to record the sad affliction with which it has pleased the Almighty to visit the heft
