He knew that the Opposition bad a right to select the question on which the Ministry was weakest to oust them, but he would repeat that this, vote would hp.reaftp.rTîîrTnŸoked by those who were hoSSle, jp3EslTnst.itnIièha\"bTLower Canada, and particularlv~to h'fe'nch CanatHans.(Re- aghast at the prospect of burdens which Mr.Galt could only himself excuse by calling them war taxes, though we are in a period of peace, with greater securities against war than we ever had before.Whatever Ministry comes into office will, we hope, not attempt to palter with this plainly expressed desire on the part of Parliament to be saved from the constant and ruinous additions to the charges of Government.If they do we trust that public indignation will not slumber so long as it has done in the case of their predecessors ; but in the meantime there is little to be said on our political affairs.Rumoured European Intervention.\u2014We find nothing in the English papers at all confirming the idea of any European intervention in the States ; but, so far as England is concerned, of the very reverse.An important incident in Parliament, connected with this subject, is briefly narrated in one of our English extracts.Turkish Baths.\u2014One of the most noted among British d.plomatists\u2014noted rather for his eccentricities than lor the services he has performed\u2014 is Mr.Urquhart, who, while acting as Secretary to our famous Ambassador in Constantinople, now Lord Redcliffe, acquired a number of Oriental, not to say Mahometan, notions.Among these was an admiration for the Turkish mode of bathing, in which water does not play so conspicuous apart as hot air, Mr.Urquhart insists that your ordinary English purist who takes his dip or his shower bath every morning, even when he adds the saponacious element to his ablutions i^ after all a very dirty fellow.His cleanliness and freshness are, according to this adept in the modes of the East, nothing hut a self-delusion.It is true that the outside of the cuticle seems to be perfectly cleansed ; but then, says our philosopher, what about the millions of pores.These, my complacently self-deluded friend, are filled with foulness that I shudder to think of.The Turkish bath, by producing a high state of perspiration, cleanses these passages and, according to its advocates, not only produces a sense of luxury and comfort which nothing else can effect, but is most valuable as a curative agent.We have read some rather amusing accounts of the experiences of literary inquirers and others, who have for the first time gone through the bathing process in London, where, besides the mere administration of a sudorific, the patient is put through a course of pummelling, kneading and scraping, such as no doubt was practised with the aid of strigils by the attendants in the Roman Tepidaria and Calidarie, from whence probably the Constantinopolitan Baths derive their origin.We have now a bath of this kind established by Mr.Alloway, adjoining the Royal Horse Bazaar, at the corner of Vitre and Cote Streets, and see from a notice in the Medical Journal that its employment has already been of service in cases of rheumatism.We believe that no attendant has yet been found capable of performing the shampooing in a satisfactory manner.Those who have triedit have turned out too lazy or too rough ; but in other respects one can go through all the processes from gentle heat up to 160 degrees, after that take a shower bath, and then indulge in a lounge on the sofa until he chooses once more to return to the business of the world.The Mastership of the Trinity House \u2014The Minerve announces the appointment of Mr.L.Marchand to the Mastership of the Trinity House, and adds as a reason for congratulation that Mr.Marchand is the first French Canadian ever named fnt*\t______ Erratum.\u2014In the manifest of the \u201cAnglesea\u201d in our yesterday\u2019s issue, it should have read, \u201cArdmillan.\u201d The Cavalry Tournament.\u2014It should have been stated yes for day that trooper W.D.Smith made G points for the Commandant\u2019s and Staff prizes, and Pay Sergt.Tabb, 4 points, instead of vice versa.Brutal Assault.\u2014 On Tuesday night a soldier of the Royal Artillery was found lying near the tavern known as the \u201cShip Inn.\u201d It appeared that he .had been brutally beaten by some parties and left lying insensible.Inspection.\u2014The Inspection of the Garrison was continued yesterday, the 47th being out.FfRp \u2014A fire broke out at one o\u2019clock yesterday mormng ip the Chemical establishment of Cowan & Burns, and considepalile damage was done before it could be extinguished.CRYSTAL BLOCK, FURTHER SUP, OF London Silk Hats London Cinms London Zepkyr Yentilai For the Hot Weather.\u2014ALSO,\u2014 French Opera Hats ALL NEW STYLES.newed derisive cheersTTT^^teTiQRidLlIia.t.dsrtry.and the, nninifetn-~'\u201c:==Üower Canada* n.Aile conduct n (inns rim.de.byJTis popiilffion_~5rX0i iastT1Hr%oiildl)rei^the~force~ôrtlîë wKjcirmlghTtïïcfêUÿLe cast on XoweiTU5n£diï AiTEe same time, in~tïièTr\u201dlaîl, hë'ând his colleagues had thijpjsatisfaekion :: fhey had fallen about a measure_diMigned_to_makffStterjrovi-sion for thejlefence of the country\u2014a measure they considered necessary to secure to them the full enjoyment of their free political institutions under the protectioB-oTthe' glorious Hag of old EngThrid.HiTmoved thaFïEe'Hôûse do adjourn) Colonel .Jdaultain, Mr.Cockhurn.and Mr.Biggar stated that in voting for the second reading of the MilTtlàTIiU^Üiey.did not mean to express any confidence in the latft-Government or the Attorney (jenerSTWestln narticnl&r.l'ke Htmse adjumiieiTârïïâB^ast three.Muy 10.112 STORM THE Subscriber having Leased that LARGE and CENTRALLY SITUATED STONE STORE, Nos.7 & 9 WILLIAM STREET, (four Doors West of McGill Street), is prepared to receive on STORAGE, at moderate rates, Flour, Grain, Sugar, Butter, Fish, Salt, and Merchandise Generally.A careful Man will be in prompt attendance, and samples of property in Store sent when desired.Fire Insurance effected at first-class rates.w.w.McClellan, Commission Merchant.N.B.\u2014Excellent Cellarage for Butter, &c.May 8.\t3m 110 SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE \u201cMONTREAL HERALD.\u201d Quebec, May 22.Mr.Sicotte acts with Mr.McDonald in forming the new Cabinet, which, although 1 speak without authority, will probably consist of the following members :\u2014 For Upper Canada\u2014McDonald, Foley, McDougall and Howland.Inspector General\u2014Wilson.Sol.Genl.\u2014James Morris or Christie in the Upper House.For Lower JCanada\u2014Sicotte, A.A.Dorion, Loranger, McGee, and Tessier in the Upper House ;

or, Life in aColony\u2014By Sam Slick (Haliburton.) Martin : Place d\u2019Armes.Of course every one has heard of Sam Slick, and most persons who could read twenty years ago, read his shrewd, funny and philosophical observations on men, women, and things in general, on his clockselling tours among the Bluenoses.In Sam Slick there was a good deal of wisdom ; but the wit predominated.In the Old Judge, Mr.Haliburton has endeavoured to make the flavour of the wisdom overpower that of the wit.The result, to our taste, is to spoil two very good things, and make a heavy book.Nevertheless, we suppose that the reputation of Sam Slick \u201eis sufficient to sell new editions even of this, as we judge very secondary performance ; and those who have heard a great deal, but know little of Judge Haliburton\u2019s writings, may like to be able to make their acquaintance.Agnes of Sorrento by Mrs.Beecher Stowe\u2014 Harpers : New York.Dawsons : Montreal.Mrs.Stowe has the birth of a Northern American, the traing of a Colonist, the quick observation of a clever woman used to Society, and the literary execution of a member of a highly educated family of preachers and litterateurs.She can hardly write any book that will not afford pleasure to the reader.But she will assuredly most move his sympathies when she writes tales of America and American men and women.Agnes of Sorrento is an Italian story, and the authoress is by no means as much at home as she is in those stories of Southern and Northern American life, which have chiefly made her fame.Nevertheless Agnes of Sorrento is a book which can be safely recommended, with the assurance that no one who acts upon the recommendation, will reproach him who gave it, for having misled the person who receives it.The Pearl of Orrs Island\u2014Mrs.Beecher Stowe \u2014 Harpers : New York.Dawson A Co.: Montreal.In this tale we have Mrs.Stowe again among the scenes which she knows so well how to depict, and her natural talents appear with all concomitant advantages.The Pear^of Orr\u2019s Island is a capital story, and will add to the reputation its authoress has already acquired.Police Intelligence.\u20144 Dog Sfory.\u2014Yesterday afternoon was tried in the Police Court the Case of Frederic Phillips, charged with stealing a retriever dog, the property of George Herman Ryland.On the 12th instant James Cadschall Johnson made affidavit before the Police Magistrate that sometime in the month of February last a retriever dog was placed in his possession by Mr.G.H.Ryland, and that between the 10th and 13 th May the dog was removed from the house in Bleury St.lately occupied by him (Mr.J.) Mr.Ryland also made affidavit to the effect that on Msnday, 12th May, he was proprietor of a retriever dog which he valued at $100.On the evening of the same day this dog was stolen by one Frederic Phillips, of this city, commission merchant, the animal being at the time in the custody of Mr.Johnson.Mr.Ryland added that he was perfectly convinced that Phillips, at the time he stqle the dog, was aware that it belonged to Sun (Mr.R.j, and that the stealing was wilful and premeûÜStêd, and for the purpose of converting him to his own usé.U^pon these affidavits a 'Variant was issued for the arrest cf Mr, Phillips, and he was held to bail himself in the sum Of £30, and two sureties in £l§, to appear.The case was fixe.d for 2 o\u2019clock yesterday afternoon.Mr.G.H.Ryland (owner of the dog) then stated that he knew the defendant by name.He had received a retriever dog from Mr.Alex.Murray two or three months ago.Mr.Johnson, who was at the time staying in Bleury Street, consente ^ to take charge of him while he (Mr.Ryland) was absent for a short time.When he returned to Montreal, about a month ago, he went to see the dog.He had been told afterwards that the dog had been taken away from Mr.Johnson\u2019s premises by defendant.He went to Mr.AUoway\u2019s on Friday last, and there saw the animal dead.Mr.Alloway called his attention to the fact that the dog had been examined, and that it was apparent that be bad been starved to death.He valued the animal at f 100, but would not have parted with him at that sum.Mr, Johnson stated that he had been iu possession of the dog, and did not give the defendant permission to take him.He had been taken away wholly without his consent or authorization.A great deal of other evidence was taken, from which it appeared that Phillips had gone to the house in Bleury Street where the dog was, after Mr.Johnson had left it, and took possession of the puppy as though it belonged to him.A veterinary surgeon also testified that he had made a post mortem examination of the body, and found all the organs perfectly\u2019 healthy ; hut the stomach was perfectly empty, 'leaving the cpnyictiop in his mind that the animai had died of starvation, as there was no trace of diarrhoea or dysentery which would account for the disappearance of the food.The healthy condition of the organs he thought precluded the possibility of the pup having refused his food.He believed he could have eaten nothing for 36 hours before death Mr.Devlin, who conducted the prosecution, contended that the fact of the dog being stolen was clearly proved, as well as that he had been cruelly starved to death.In fact it was not till Mr.Ryland was apprised of the circumstance that he decided to institute proceedings against the defendant.Mr.Kerr, for the defence, contended that, though the dog had been taken, yet there was no intention whatever of stealing him.On the contrary, it was competent for the owner to have recovered him at any moment for the asking, Aad, as for starving the dog, he maintained that it was plainly absurd to suppose that any man would steal a dog and then starve him.The Court, after summing up the evidence, observed that the practice of stealing dogs had become very common.Hardly a day passed but dogs were stolen, and it was generally extremely difficult to recover them.This was one of those cases, not termed larceny by the last English law, but merelv stealing, which was so to speak a milder form of larceny, no felonious intent being imputed to the accused, and the penalty merely a fine.He declared the defeqdant guilty, and would pass sentence at 11 o\u2019clock to-day.Michael Conroy was fined $20 for aggravated assault on Watts, of which he had been convicted on the previous day, CITY COUNCIL PK0CEEDING3.SPECIAL MEETING LAST NIGHT.A Special Meeting uf the City Council was held last evening in the usual place.THE BRITISH SHILLING.ration received the English Shilling, and suggested that in the payment of taxes, when the amount was less than $5, the British Snilling should be received at 25 cents, and when above $5, at 24 cents.The Mayor said that as a great many of the Wholesale Merchants had decided to take the British Shilling at 24 cents only, the Treasurer had received instructions to receive the coin at the reduced value.In small quantities they received it at fourteen pence half-penny, but when over a pound at 24s.4d to the £.The Mayor further stated that about 27 years ago, there was a Spanish piece in circulation that used to be called a shilling.The real value, however, was less than this, and the Legislature at length fixed the value at lOd.There were wiseacres then, just as now, who advertised that they would continue to receive the coin at a shilling.They soon, however, found that this would not pay.So, he thought, those who now advertised to take the British shilling at 25c.would find they could not sell as cheap as those who received them at 24 cents only.Conn.McGrath inquired at what rate the Corporation disbursed the coin.The Mayor replied that none had been paid out yet since the movement began.PETITIONS.A letter was received from Mr.Louis Lesage, representing that he had performed the duties formerly devolving on Mr.Cliff, and asking for £100 increase of salary, in consideration of such augmented responsibility.Referred to Committee.A petition was received from Messrs.C.S.Gherrier, Theodore Hart, A.M.Delisle, William Workman, and many others, for a by-law tq prohibit the erection of distilleries, Ac., within the City limits.Referred to Police Committee.Councillor Copiant moved, seconded by Councillor Cusson-Tbat Councillor Contant be placed on the Road Committee in the place of Councillor jCusson ; and that Councillor Cusson be placed on the Police Committee in the place of Councillor Contant.\u2014Carried.A petition for a drain in Campeau Street was referred to the Road Committee.SEWERS AND DRAINS.The Council then took up the third order for the 1st, 2 ad and 3rd reading of a By-law to repel By-law No 25, and to make further provisions in relation to sewers and drains.The usual motion having been made to suspend the rules relating to the reading of By-laws.4Id.Bulwer proceeded to comment on the features of the' proposed By-law.It enacted that the whole cost shall hereafter be iiorne by the owners of real estate, in proportion to the frontage of their properties.Another important change was, that no person shall be permitted to enter his priyate drain into any common sewer without a periplt in writing from the City Surveyor to be paid for.He thought these amendments wohW be productive of great advantage to the city.The motion being carried, the City Clerk pi\u2019Oi ceeded to read the By-law a second time.The second section was \u201c that the Council may order the construction or repair of any common sewer or drain which shall be considered necessary by the Road Committee, in any street or highway.\u201d Councillor Donovan moved in amendment to add the following words : \u201c unless an application at least of three proprietors.Several members supported this amendment, remarking that as the section stood, the Road Committee might prevent any sewer from being made that they did not approve of.After some discussion, the amendment was lost by 16 to 6.Councillor Stevenson moved in amendment, seconded by Councillor Lyman, that the second section be amended by striking out \u201c the Road Committee,\u201d and substituting \u201ca majority of their number\u2019: (j.e, of the Council ) This was also lost by 13 to 9.Tfre second section was then carried by 15 tq 8.It was then moved by Alderman Gorrie, seconded by Councillor David, that the second reading be deferred till next meeting.Carried by 14 to 9.NOTICE OF MOTION.Aid, Thompson gave notice that Ije wonhj move\u2014lry to serve the business of this city.Tms might be correct hHrvery merchant were to fill his safe, and every man load his pockets with currency, as has so long-been done with English coin.I assert it as a fact which can be readily proved, that there is enough of Canadian and American currency in this community, amply to serve all the requirements of trade in every branch.In fact this has been the only \u201c small change\u201d hitherto in use, as we have no British silver less value than 12 cents.The Banks hold large quantities of Canadian and American silver which can be had from them as freely as wanted, and with an abundance of small bills, will be more than enough to serve the wants of the community.2nd.The movement is said to be illegal, because British silver is a legal tender to the extent of ten dollars, at tbe rate of twenty-four cents and a small fraction.The requirements of trade have overruled a great many more troublesome legalities than this, Bank Bills and Bank Cheques are not legal tenders at all, but they are given and taken in payment of accounts every day.Steps are now being taken to urge the government to place the legal value of shillings at 24 cents, but while this rate has been in operation now for some 10 days in a great portion of city trade, any attempt to enforce the fraction in payment has hot been heard of.3rd and last.We are called on to sympathize with the laboring man who is suffering a loss of 4 per cent on the \u201c trante sous\u201d he has received for his labor.The poor man has his rights as well as his wrongs apd it is his right to be paid for the sweat of his brow in money at par, not in money which will entail him a weekly loss of one to three per cent.True he pays it away apparently at par, but every retail dealer, must calculate, in his required profit, an item of expense for discount, which amounts in some individual cases, to thousands of dollars a year.There are two classes, Mr.Editor, who are vehement against the present movement.First, the regular money traders, who have been doing a large and profitable trade in silver, and who naturally dread to see it cut off; then the enterprizing capitalists, who employ mechanics and laborers, and who might have been seen every Saturday noon buying up silver at the largest discount, nay, would willingly buy it now, even at 24 cents if they could, and pay it out to their employees at 25 cents, men who boast of making hundreds, nay, even thousands, a year, in this \u201c smart business calculation.\u201d It is from these two classes, Mr.Editor, comes the bulk of the opposition to the present movement.We have now a fair opportunity to relieve ourselves of the loss and inconvenience of British silver and I trust the plan will be fully carried out.I remain, your, very truly, A MSRCHANT.Paris Correspondence of the \u201c Montreal Herald.\" Paris, May 10, 1802.A most ingenious adaptation of electro-mag-been elaborated by an engineer of this city, '117 Achard, who has devoted ten years of incessant labour, and the resources of a moderate fortune to the perfections of a system which promises to render collisions impossible on lines furnished with his apparatus, equally simple and efficace-ous, and capable of acting automatically, without the intervention of conductors or breaksmen.By means of wires passing through the entire train, in communication both with a voltaic battery in the train, and with wires laid down along the line of the railway, the breaks of the train are held open.If by the intervention of the servants of the train by running off the rails, or by the approach of another train, furnished with a similar battery, and equally in communication with the wires laid down along the lines, the electric current is interrupted, the breaks instantly fall, and the train comes to a standstill in leas than a quarter ot the time lost in effecting the stoppage of a train by the methods hitherto employed for that purpose.The system in question has been tiled by order of the Minister of Public Works, oif the line of railway between Lyons and Geneva, and between Paris and Strasburg.After repeated essays, conducted with the utmost care, and the most critical attention, on these lines, by M.Dusouich, \u201cChief Engineer of the Superintendence of the Railway of Paris, Lyons and the Mediterranean,\u201d deputed by the Minister to investigate and report upon the merits of the systém, that gentleman has reported in the most favorable terms iipon every point of superiority claimed by M.Achard for his apparatus.According to this Report, the new system ensures the easy, and almost instantaneous stoppage of a train at any degree of speed, by the servants charged with the care of the train ;\u2014 the automatic stoppage of the train in case of accident, or of the unforeseen approach of another train ; the extreme facility with which the syetem works ; and the very trifling outlay involved in its adoption.The Report adds that, in case of fire, or other urgent danger, the passengers in any of the carriages can give instantaneous notice of the danger by cutting the wire, and thus setting free the clapper of the alarm-bell which forms part of the apparatus, and which sounds its warning notes when the current which held it silent is thus interrupted.A m°hifieation of this ingenious systém proposes to prevent the explosioh of steam-boilers, and enabling the engineer to maintain, at a con-constantly uniform level, the water in the generating-chamber.If the water sinks but a few hqirs-brcath below the nornial level, this vigilant guardian, that would aiipost seem to qe gifted with intelligence, rings its bell j if the supply of lyater, or the eiectric current, is interrupted in any way, it rings , if the float gets out of order, it rings ; if a leakage occurs, it rings ; it rings also if the fire becomes too hot, thus increasing the pressure of the steam, or if it becomes too slack, thus unduly dimidislfing the toqsiqn qf the steam, apd when set a-going by any qf these causes of danger, the automatic bell-ringer keeps on ringing until the particular wrong-doing which it signalises is set to rights.This new electric alarm bell has received, like the system of railway-breaks qf which it is a rqoqificatiohj the unqualified approbation of the Ministers of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works.Working \u2018models of both, and of various other most ingenious applications of the electrio force, are to be.seen in the Machinery Department of the present London Exhibition.M.François Coignet, one of the most skilful and extensive manufacturers of Chemical Substances in France, qnd possessing important works at $t.Denis aqd at Lyons, has devoted himself, with equal zeal and perseverance, to the manufacture of artificial stone, and the elaboration, in connection with the employment of this material, of an entirely novel method of build-ing, by which the largest edifices may be sq constructed as to for-m, when completed, a single monolith ; foundations, walls, staircases, ceilings, floors, and roof, constituting literally one homogeneous, monolithic whole, To form the artificial stone in question\u2014sand, lime, pulverized cinders, clays, certain cements, and water, are mixed in varying proportions, subjected to triturition and agglomeration by means of machinery specially contrived to these ends, and moulded into separate blocks, or into entire edifices, as the case may be.The blocks, of any and every form and dimension, plain or ornamented, are used for building purposes in the ordinary way ; they are declared by the inventor to be harder and more durable than the best kinds of natural stone employed in building, while costing less than ordinary bricks.The experiments that have been made with the material in question, at Lyons and at St.Denis, where chemical works, private dwellings, roadways and pavements, thus constructed, have been in constant use for the last ten years, without having undergone the slightest deterioration ; at the Quay de Billy, in Paris, where docks, a bridge, and a roadway were constructed by M.the Paris termini of several of the great railways ; and at St.Jean de Luz, where vast blocks have been, by ihe Emperor\u2019s orders, left for the last four years in the sea, all appear to justify the belief, so confidently entertained by the inventor, that the new material is absolutely insensible to heat and cold, impermeable to damp, harder and less friable than any building stone, and that it consequently offers a prospective durability to which only the lapse of ages can assign a limit.As it is impossible, in a limited notice like the present, to bring forward all the proofs adduced in behalf of its claims by the advocates of the new system, let me assume, for the convenience of description, that these claims are founded, and proceed to enlighten your readers as to the monolithic possibilities of the new material, and the variety of constructions to which these possibilities would render it applicable.The elements of which the stone is to be composed being properly prepared by pulverization, and mingled in the proper proportions, the spot upon which it is proposed to build (and which has been previously excavated and prepared to receive the stratum of stone-paste that will serve as the basis of the structure), a wooden mould, with moveable sides, and without top or bottom, of the size corresponding to the thickness to be given to the wall it is proposed to build, is placed upon the stratum ot paste that forms the base.The mould is filled with the paste, which is then rammed down with prodigious force upon the paste beneath, with which it becomes as perfectly united as though it had been deposited iu a single mass.The sides of the mould are then opened, and the mould itself, removed from the bit of wall just fashioned within it, is moved on to the end of the bit of wall, fixed as before, by its iron clamps, and again filled with stone-paste, which, rammed down, and cohering both with the base and with the bit of wall previously made, carries on the edifice by another bit.As many of these moulds may be kept going at the same time, the lowest section of the wall will be completed with great rapidity ; and as this lowest section will have acquired, in the course of a few hours, sufficient firmness to support the superposition of a similar section, which, in like manner, will be ready a few hours afterwards, to support e, third, and so on, the building will proceed with a rapidity to which no other method of construction offers any analogy.Moulds of different shapes are employed in fashioning the various parts of the building ; every portion of which, with the addition of balconies to the upper storeys, will be constructed in the same manner, forming one single stone, which will become harder, and more resistant, the longer it s exposed to the air.Its inventor proposes to employ this method of building for the construction of dwellings, manufactories, theatres, and public buildings, reservoirs of all kinds and dimensions, pave-uieats, aqueducts, gas-tubes, grauaries, storehouses, bridges, dykes, the embankments of rivers aqd canqls, fortificatious, docks, basins, jetties and moles, an4 pits of mines.The Dutch Government having requested M.Coignet to furnish a sketch of the constructions already completel by him, M, Coignet with no other material than the stone paste, which, if found to possess the qualities claimed for it bv its inventor, would be so particularly valuable in a stoneless country like Holland, M.Coignet in a letter addressed Dutch Minister of Public Works, cites, among other feats already accomplished by him with the aid of his paste, the following constructions, executed by him at the order of the French Government.1st.A reservoir, consisting of a monolithic tower, containing a column of water 5 metres high, and 1 metre 25 in diameter, of a total weight of 9,375 kilogramm s ; its walls from top to bottom, have a thickness of only 375 millimetres, and its floor open belovy and supported only by a narrovf circlet of the same pqste rqund its opter edge, forming one stone with the rest of the reservoir, is of half a metre thick.2nd.A bridge, consisting of one arch, Ip metres wide, with a carve of 11 metre, a thickness at the place of the keystone of 80 centimetres, apd forming q cubic monolith of 5Q metres.3d.A terrace-roof eleven feet from the ground, supported on eight pillars, 6 metres long by 4 ?netres iq width, only 25 centimetres thick ; a pavement laid down in the middle of the quay, and passed over daily by au incessant stream of heavy waggons, &c._ At Lyons.M.Coignet has built vast monoli-which bftef a sup'ehictes~ur buu metres, one forming the ceiling of a hall 22 metres long by 7 metres v/jde, with no other support than the walls ; and these terraces have been used for 5 years, as open-air workshops) exposed to every variety of weather, without showing the least sign of deterioration.The floors oi stables and workshops, exposed for over 5 years to the hoofs of horses, and the iron shovels of an army of workmen, do not show the faintest scratch, so hard have the surfaces become.The blocks of stone paste submerged four years since, at St.Jean de Tuz, by order of the Em-and ite ; pickaxes are tjlunted and broken upon them without making even a scratch upon their surface, and they appear to he indestructible except by gunpowder.At the station of Oyssell, a block of this material has served for the last four years to support a steam-engine qf 400 horsepower.At the government manufacture of Cap-sales, the ground has recently given way under one extremity of a similar block, on which stood the steam-engine of the establishment.The portion of the soil which thus sank away frq^ 'ue_ neath the block, leaving the latter suspended over the void, is stated by M.Marion, the Sub-Director of the establishment, in his report upon the accident, tq have ^een q metre and a half in width, and four metres iu length.\u201c Yet,\" adds this gentleman, \u201c the flooring of stone-paste has not yielded an iota ; but has maintained itself as firmly as though still reposing on the soil.The fact of the sinking of the ground from beneath if was only discovered indirectly and by chance.\u201d The artificial stone in question may be colored by the introduction of pigments, moulded in reliefs, and rendered ornamental in various ways The interior walls of the houses already built by M.Coignet, are papered and painted precisely like those of ordinary dwellings.The floors, smooth apd even as mirrors, are covered with carpets, and are declared by their occupants to be warmer than ordinary floors.Excepting the frames of the doors and windows, which are of wood, and other woodwork embedded in the walls wherever it has been wished to put up shelves, pegs, or other conveniences requiring the use of nails, there is not a particle of oombus-tibie material in them ; cool in summer, warm in winter, and offering a capital walking-place on the roof.These houses are said, by their inmates, to he the most agreeable they have ever lived in.It would take us too long to attempt to follow Mr.Coignet through the endless possibilities which he considers that his system of building may be made to effect, hfat Qnly entire buildings, with cellars, \\falls and roofs absolutely impermeable to damp, incapable of combustion, insensible to atmospheric variations, keeping a tern-perature nearly the same all the year round, and supplied with unwonted and delightful appliances and conveniences that soyin4 like the details of souqe fairy p.qjace, but entire cities, with subterranean streets and an entirely new system of drains, water-pipes, gas-tubes, Ac., skirting the cellar-regions (which regions would be, as already remarked, everywhere inaccessible to damp, miasms or vermin) with its smooth thoroughfares, free from noise, from dust and from mud.( its terraced roofs forming verdant and flowery gardens, its edifices and monuments, its reservoirs, granaries, storehouses destined to preserve in perfection the over-plus of plenteous years, its ventilating shafts that wqnld collect and carry up into tbc cfouds thé air vitiated b| tb® i'fof3 of tts citiaens, the whole forming one homogeneous rmonenith, vastly cheaper of construe!than the very ««fairy-like cities of to-day, and more durable than the granite of the \u201ceverlasting hills.\u201d Samples of the various qualities of his stone are exhibited by M.Coignet in the French Department of the London Exhibition.; dictated by a desire for \u201c influence in the councils of Europe,\u201d censured our differences with the Emperor, condemned \u201c bloated armaments,\u201d ' laughed at moral force, characterized the French occupation of Rome as a justifiable act of self-defence, and declared the independence of the Pope essential to the peace of the World.It was a splendid speech\u2014for the Whigs, and Lord Palmerston summed up the debate with the cheerfulness which such avowals were calculated to produce.He evaded the financial question, but defended his foreign policy with all his old masculine force, laughed at the \u201c independence\u201d protected by foreign bayonets, at the cry of retrenchment urged by men who never resisted the estimates, and at the Tory concealment of their Italian views.The direct line from Berlin to St.Petersburg was opened on 5th May.It must be now possible to go from Paris to St.Petersburg in forty-eight hours.The distress in Ireland appears to be real, though it does not amount to famine.The number of persons on the poor rates has increased in two years very considerably.In March, 1860, the number of persons relieved was 46541 ; in March, reel, 52.103; andin March, 1862, 61,-791.Europe is threatened with the loss of the King of the Belgians, and the accession of his son, a decided Ultramontane, educated by Jesuits.For a quarter of a century King Leopold has held a position as a wise and cautious statesman, and the confidential adviser of all the thrones occupied by the House of Cobourg.He was the only continental sovereign who passed with honour through 1848, and he has succeeded iu keeping Belgium contented, and out of the clutches of France.His disease seems to be the stone.Few men who have worn a crown would be more sincerely missed.Count Rechberg has formally adopted the principle of non-intervention as the rule of Austrian diplomacy.One would be glad to know how much it means.At present Austria has nothing to gain from foreign intervention.Russia is too weak to intervene in her favour ; France is strong enough to intervene against her.But if she means to renounce Prussian intervention in Hungary or elsewhere, a great step has been gained.The Austrian Government has also agreed to the principle of Ministerial responsibility.The only question, again, is what he means' by his concession.The Ministry will be responsible for their acts, but will they be responsible also for his.Ifthe Emperor orders an invasion of itnly, can the Reichsrath dismiss the Ministry, and will snob dismissal stop the war ?4 despatch has been published from Mr.Seward, protesting against the design attributed by him to the French Minister ot changing Mexico into a monarchy.The American Secretary declares that an intervention would endanger the United States, which will most unquestionably sympathize with their sister republics.The Emperor\u2019s reply is to despatch a further rein-forcemeut to Mexico, with imperative orders to march straight upon the capital.The English and Spanish troops have both retired, and another expensive and useless \u201ccombined expedition\u201d has, for us, come to an end.THE RUMOURED INTERVENTION._ It now appears that there was nothing to justify the rumoured intervention of England, and more especially of France, in the affairs of America.On the contrary, the intention, if anv such existed on the part of France, has been abandoned, and the British government, it is certain, are determined, to remain passive spectators of the confoet.Even the journal that showed symptoms of a desire that we should aid the South has, after feeling the pulse of the publie, retreated, and now declares its belief that the time has not arrived for such a step.In an article on Thursday respecting Mr.Slaney's intention to obtain from Lord Palmerston an assurance that he would offer the mediation of England to the belligerents, the journal alluded to expresses an earnest hope that the question will not he put, and it says, \u201cthroughout the whole of this contest there never has been a time when foreign intervention could have done aught but evil ; but of all times this is the worst for such an enterprise as Mr.Slaney would counsel.\u201d would 4q harm rather than good, Mr.Slaney wisely shrunk from the task he had imposed oq himself, so that Lord Palmerston was; spared the necessity of replying, and our Parliament and Government vrill he eqabled to still preserve the attitude of dignified neutrality which we have occupied from the commencement of this unhappy struggle.It is remarkable that those who a e constantly showing that the South cannot be subjugated and must ultimately win^that the power of the North and West will be.unable to crush the rebellion, and will ruin, themselves in the vain attempt, are the people most C amorous for our interference in the present critical state of the contest.ENGLISH NEWS.NEWS OF THE WEEK TO MAY 10.The King of Italy has been received in Naples with a welcome such as only a Southern and excitable race can give, and which has fairly silenced the discontented.The rich thronged to the San Carlo to applaud a hymn urging the cross of Savoy to shine above the altar of St.Peter\u2019s, the middle classes turned out as National Guards, and the people rendered them unnecessary by abstaining from all but noise.The whole city was brilliantly illuminated, the French and English representatives attended thq court, the bay was covered with French, English and Italian vessels, and Naples gave itself up to an enthusiasm of loyalty.This clear plebiscitum has slightly advanced the Roman question.The Emperor understands his epoch, General de Goyon has been recalled, and reports are fife of an another ultimatum presented to the Pope.The .Ultramontane journals are wild with wrath, and even the .arrival of 400 bishops in Rome cannot console the priests.The French troops will not, we fear, retire, but brigandage must come to an end.Parliament has enjoyed one great debate.Sir S.Northcote attacked Mr.Gladstone\u2019s finance, and censured his promises of reduction.Mr.Gladstone replied.He laid down the principle that a surplus was not required in an exceptional time, and that his business was to hold on till To Pbkssrvs and Dress the Hair.\u2014One of tt.e best dressings for the hair ever invented is Burnett's Coeoaine.Ladies dressing their hair, elaborately, for the evening, will find that it will keep it iu shape for hours.Its qualities as preventing the hair from falling are truly remarkable.\u2014Philadelpia Bulletin, m teade and oommeec.Current Topics\u2014Pinance and Trade- HERALD OFFICE,\tI Montreal, May 22, 1862.> This past week has been one of considerable excitement, owing to the proposed alteration in our tariff and the subsequent fall of the Ministry.We shall, under its separate head, notice the effect of the political changes on the Grocery market.\"VVe give the arrivals during the week :\u2014 ^r.?ni^vrerPoc>^ 5 vessels, gen cargo .4980 Glasgow, 1 S.S.do 1 vessel, London, 1 do, Halfax, l do, Carthagena, l do, Canton, 1 do, do.1132 coal.9S2 \u2014 2112 gencar^o.333 sugar.&c.738 ballast.781 tea.v.304 8347 The one from Canton Is the 11 Maria.\u201d The departures are 9 vessels, ail taking full cargoes :\u2014.Tons.To the Lower Porta, 3 vessels, general cargo_ 252 Glasgow,\t2\tdo,\tdo,\t1360 Liverpool,\t2\tdo,\tdo,\t1895 London,\t2\tdo,\tdo,\t1148 4655 We also give the total amount of seagoing vessels arrived at this Port from the opening of navigation to date, as well as the amount of tonnage :\u2014 Tons.1861,\tto 22nd May, 87 vessels from sea\t-\t- 47280 8 do new from Quebec 5500 52780 1862,\tto 2.2nd May, 49 vessels from sea,\t-\t- 33610 We have not, so far, had any new vessels from Quebec to load here.The u St.Lawrence,\u201d having been repaired, is now back in the Harbor again.We give the number of vessels loading and unloading in the Harbor on the night of the 21st inst., this year and last :\u2014 1861 .-Sea-going vessels in Port on 21st May : 1 steamer, 27 ships, 29 barks, 13 brigs, 2 brigantines and 2 schooners.1862.\u2014Sea-going vessels in Port on 21st May: 2 steamers, 17 ships, 15 barks, 2 brigs.We havs no change to make in freights, and refer for details to the Brokers\u2019 Circular.Our receipts of Pronuce to-day have been ligh*, comparatively :\u2014 Ashes per Canal.Per G.T.R.Flour per Canal.Per G.T.R.bris.do.¦ bris, .do.Wheat per Canal.Per G.T.R_____ .bus.do.Pork per Canal.hrls Per G.T.R.do.Butter per Canal.kgs.PerG.T.R.do.Totals.15 53\u2014 Û8 820 1100\u2014 1920 6840 8050\u201414390 102 1012\u2014 1114 81 10\u2014 91 Coignet, at the desire of the Administration of more prosperous seasons arose.The speech of the the Government School of Bridges and Boad* ;

\u2014 A PROCLAMATION RY THE PRESIDANT OF THE UtjITEu STATES.Whereas there appears in the public prints whaj purports to tie a proclamation of Major General Hunter, in the words and figures following, to wit :\u2014 General Orders, No.11.Headquarters Department of the South, Hilton Head, S.C., May 9, 1862.The three States of Gieorgia, Florida and South Carolina^ comprising the Military Department of the South, having deliberately declared themselves no longer under the protection of the United States of America, and having taken up arms against the eaid United States, it becomes a military necessity to declare them under martial law.This was accordingly done on the 25th day of April, 1862.Slavery and martial law in a free country are altogether incompatible.The persons in these three States\u2014Georgia, gquth Carolina and Florida\u2014heretofore held as'slaves1 are therefore declared forever free, ' David Hunter, Major General Commandincr.Ed.W.Smith, Acting Ass\u2019t Adj\u2019t Gen\u2019l.° And, whereas, the same is producing some excitement and misunderstanding.Therefore I, Abraham Lincoln, president of the United States, proclaim and déclare that the Government of the United States had no knowledge or belief of an intention on the part of General Hunter to issue such a proclamation, nor has it yet any authentic information that the document is genuine; and further, that neither General Hunter nor any other commander or person has been authorized by the government of the United States tq make proclamations declaring the slaves of any State free, and that the supposed proclamation now in question, whether genuine or false, is altogether void, so far as respects such declaration.I further make known that whether, it be competent for me, as OcmmaudeMmChief of the Army and Navy,' to declare the slaves of any State or States free, and whether at any time, or in any case, it shall have become a necessity indispensable to the maintenance of the government to exercise such, supposed power, are questions which, Under, my responsibility.I reserve to myself; and which I cannot feel justified in leav-\u201cg t0 -is'hn of commanders in the field.,aese are totally different questions from those of police regulations in armies and camps.(Sn the Qth day of March last, by a special message, I recommended to Congress the adoption of a joint resolution, to be substantially as follows .Resolved, That the United States ought to cooperate with any State which may adopt a gradual abolishment of slavery, giving to such State, in its discretion, compensation for the inconveniences, public and private, produced by such change of system.The resolution, in the language above quoted, was adopted by large majorities in both branches of Congress, and now stands an authentic, definite and solemn proposal of the nation to the States and people most immediately interested in the subject matter.To the people of these States I now earnestly appeal.I do not argue.I beseech you to make the arguments for yourselves.You cannot, if you would, be blind to the signs of the times.I beg of you a calm and enlarged consideration of them, ranging, if it may be, far above personal and partisan politics.This proposal makes common cause for a common object, casting no reproaches upon any.It acts not the Pharisee.The change it contemplates would come gently as the dews of heaven, not rending or wrecking anything.Will you not embrace it 1 So much good has not been done by one effort in all past times as in the Providence of God it is now your high privilege to do.May the vast future not have to lament that you have neglected it.In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.Done at the city of Washington, this 19 th day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty-sixth.ABRAHAM LINCOLN.By the President\u2014Wu.H.Seward, Secretary of State.Silk, raw\t-\t.\t- ILs.7Ü4S1 Tallow,\t-\t-\t-cwts.4'2S15 «ool,\t-\t-\t- lbs.-10143HS9\t\u2014.We also give the qua ntity of leading Groceries remaining in Bond in the United Kingdom, 31st March :\u2014 Coffee Su^ar unrefined Molasses Tea Tobacco unmanufetr'd Bo manufactured Wine We give the latest news of thi Liverpool Markets, extracted from Wilmer 4- Smith\u2019s European Times of the 10th inst.: \u2014 The Local Produce market has improved, and prices are in some cases better.A speculative inquiry has imparted more steadiness to the Sugar market, and, although holders have mst the demand freely, a slight advance has been made upon the lowest quotations.No sales of Molasses on the spot, and holders being firm has restricted business in cargoes to arrive.The low prices of Rum have iuduced more inquiry, and a good business has been done at late rates.Tea has been quiet, without change in price.Coffee is in request, and full rates are paid.A sale ot Jamaica went off with spirited competition.Cocoa is without material change.There is a good supply of Rice of nearly all descriptions, and holders have in some instances accepted easier rates.The United Brokers thus report today\u2019s sales : There is still some little speculative inquiry for Sugar, which has taken off 200 cases.2000 bags Bahia at 20s, and 4800 bags Macaio, to arrive, at 21s per cwt.from the quay ; the trade have also purchased 2100 bags middling white Cossipore (16s duty) at 44s 9d to 45s, and 150 bags Bengal syrups at 39s per cwr.Nothing has transpired in Molasses, Rum or Coffee.The Rice market has become quiet, and there are no sales to notice.Stocks of Colonial Produce have been further increased, and in most instances are heavier than at this date of last year, whilst consumption in the manufacturing localities keeps unsat- .isfactory ; bit in the metropolis and agricultural districts is evidently on the incase.Rates have a lowering tendency for Sugar, Rice, and Spirits ; there is, however, no change for Coffee, Cocoa, or Spices, but an advance for Saltpetre.Of China productions stocks are heavy and much on the way ; the market for Tea has a dull aspect, and quotations lowering.The market for Metals remains in the same inanimate state as for some time past, and quotations gene-» rally have a lowering tendency ; conk miption.of iron, however, still gets larger.There is not much passing in the products of Russi*, and Tallow, Hemp, Flax, and Linseed nnre freely offered for sale.There is also a diminished trade for American ar icles,with a slight fall in the value of Cotton and Turpentine ; at present rates sales not pressed of Tobacco and Rosin.Supplies of Breadstuff\u2019s yet much exceed demand, there is a reduction of Is to 2s for Wheat, and Is for Flour.The tendency of prices is also downwards for Spring Corn.Receips of Provisions have been heavy, and lower terms submitted to for Batter and Bacon.At previous terms only a limited trade iu Hops, and plenty on offer.Respecting the London Money market we quote from the Economist of the 10th inst, : \u2014 Discount and Money Market.\u2014The demand for discount this week has increased, and the rate in the open market has advanced until few or no transactions take place below 2^ per cent.As is generally the case when the terms approximate those at the Bank, the latter establishment has done rather a large business.The Government deposits being at present unusually high, a considerable amount of capital is temporarily with-.drawn from the market, but the existing tendency to pressure still appears to arise more from increased caution than from a less abundant supply of money.Annexed are the current charges for papers of various dates :\u2014 30 to 60 days.* .2^ per cent.3\tmonths., ».per cent.4\tmonths.3 per cent.6 months\u2014Bank bills.per cent.\u2014 Trade ditto.31 to 4 ^ cent.Subjoined are the rates of discount iu the various cities of the Continent, showing an alteration at Amsterdam :\u2014 Bank Rate.Open Market.Per cent.LardperG.T.R.brla.\t178 For the receipts for the year up to date in comparison with former years, and also shipments for same period, we refer to the Brokers\u2019 Circular in another column.Produce\u2014The market for flour and wheat has been very dull.There is a total absence of all excitement.Holders are not inclined to, submit to any reduction, and the depressing advices from England discourage buyers from operating freely.There is in fact no new feature to note.Pork continues dull at _ rather__lpw'»r rates round lota, only $12,59 I® $13,75c is obtainable.Prime mess $10/@$102, and prime would not fetch over $94 The stock here is heavy.Butter is very dull lately.Not much doing in Lard,, prices ïjc !®8c.The arrivals lately havç peen considerable.Ip cmr Dry.Qoods market we have but little to.report, the season b.eing pretty well over.We may have some revival of business next week as a considerable number of Western buyers will be down to attend the large Tea sales.In Hardware there is more activity, which will doubtless continue for some time.The loss of the \u201c Pride of Canada\u201d has had a considerable effect on various branches of the traefo, as shç was bringing out a heavy\tassortment.' The- consequence \\a that there has been great annoyanço, in, çpm,ple.ting some order by reasons of a shfirtpess of stock of certain kinds.The business has chiefly run on heavy kinds, tUo enquiry for shelf goods has been niorq Rmited than usual, Prices generally haye ruled much the same as last year, though the tendency is to a lower range of r ates.We give a telegram from Father Point, dated to-day.\u201c Anglq-Sayon\u201d arrived at 11 a.m., she brings 116 cabin aud 244 steerage passengers.Passed Steamship \u201cSt.Andrew\u201d on the 18th.Saw numerous icebergs and small ice between Gape Race and St.Peters, was detained 36 hours \u201c by fog Steamer due.\u2014\u201c City of Baltimore,\u201d Liverpool to New York, 15 days opt.Wo had Intended reviewing in its commercial point of view, Mr.Galt\u2019s proposed new tariff and comparing it with former ones ;
