Hon.Mr.CAMPBELL, that His Excellency\u2019s Speech he taken into consideration to-morrow.The SPEAKER announced that he had given leave of absence to Rev.Dr.Adamson, Chaplain off the Council, on account of delicate health, and that the Rev.Mr.Housman would officiate in his place during the Session.Adjourned at half-past three.Theatre Royal.\u2014Last night Mr.Barton Hill appeared as \u201c Othello \u201d in Shakspeare\u2019s tragedy of that name, and was most ably supported by Mr.McCullough as lago, and by Mrs.Buckland as Emilia.Miss Anny Stone made her first appearance before a Montreal audience as Desdemona, and produced quite a favorable impression.To-night Mr, Hill appears in a great double bill, embracing the popular dramatic romance entitled the \u201cCorsican Brothers,\u201d and the comic drama of \u201cRobert Macaire.\u201d Tomorrow evening will be produced for the first time in this city the great sensational drama entitled the \u201c Dead Heart.\u201d The eminent artistes Mr.and Mrs.Chas.Kean will appear on Jlonday next in Shakspeare\u2019s play of \u201c Henry fill,\u201d and the comedy of the \u201cJealous Wife,\" (BY TELEfiRAPH.) LATEST FROM QUEBEO.Special Parliamentary Report.(Reported for the Montreal Herald.) Hon.JOHN A.McDONALD having moved that the Speech be taken into consideration tomorrow.Hon.A.A.DORION asked when the Government would give explanations respecting the change that had recently taken place in the Ministry and when the correspondence on Confederation and Defence would be submitted.He thought it important and proper that these papers should be laid before the House before the discussion on the Address, for there was proper time to enter upon the discussion, if any members so desired, and it was announced in the Speech that the papers would he submitted at the earliest moment.lion.J.A.McDONALD said that with regard to explanations touching the reconstruction of the Government, they would he given immediately after the address was moved and seconded.With regard to the correspondence referred it would not be convenient or proper, hut rather contrary to the practice adopted in England, to submit it till the address disposed of.Mr.DORION was aware that it not be usual to submit the correspondence before the address voted, except on special occasions.It had been done, however, in 1859 and 1860, when correspondence on the seat of Government was submitted, and also on other occasions which he would not now particularly specify.His object in asking for the correspondence was to elicit whether it was the intention of the Government to take any action on these subjects, because of no such action was to be taken there would be no occasion for the House to consider or discuss them, except when the address was before it.It would be a great convenience, and he did not think it would he improper to bring the papers down at once.Hon.JOHN A.McDONALD said the cases mentioned by his Ron.friend were exceptionable ones.The Government would bring down the papers at the earliest possible period, and they wive not called upon now to announce their policy furthey than was indicated in the speeqli from the Throne.The sooner the liobse got through, .the business left over from last session, and that was indicated in the speech, the better ; and, as the first step was to dispose of tho address; it would be unusual and improper to bring down the papers.After the usual formal motions the House adjourned.The Governob-Geneeal's Speech.\u2014Among the beatitudes, there is one which perhaps for common use has a more general application than some of.more sublime character.Blessed are they who expect nothing for they shall not be disappointed, is a proclamation which to the end of time will hold good in human experience ; and so those who have not anticipated from the present coalition Government the settlement of those \u201cgreat constitutional questions,\u201d which settlement has been so frequently announced as the sole object for which the Hon.George Brown would accept office at all, least of all with the \u201ccorruptionists\u201d are undo ubtedly to he esteemed more happy than those who looked for felicity from the establishment of \u201cRepresentation by Population,\u201d or any of its equivalents.That mode of representation in Parliament which we hav often heard described as so intolerable, by the leading Upper Canadian in the present ministry still remains ; and not a single word is said on the subject in the speeeh from the Throne.All action looking to any arrangement of this much debated question, if either utterly set aside, or is alluded to in a sentence, which refers to the action, not of our own, hut of other governments over which we cannot and ought not to exercise any control.A more ludicrous conclusion to so many fine and haughty boasts was never yét arrived at, in order to cover up a shameless apostacy from past professions.In the session of 1864, a distinct statement was made to Par-i lament.It was to the effect that in the next session the Ministry then formed would bring in a measure for confederating Upper and Lower ^Canada, with provision for the Lower Provinces ro come in.We know that this pledge so solemnly given has been utterly set aside.Another session has; begun and we still hear not one word about that measure which was promised for February of the present year.The grounds upon which a coalition confessedly shameful if not criminal in itself, was excused, have been wholly destroyed, and the personal arrangement subsists a monument of falsehood, and of the sacrifice of public honesty, for private advantage.If the Upper Canadians like that it is as to this specific subject, more their business than that of any body else.But the state of sentiment which will permit public men thus to belie their most solemn pledges is one which cannot but he a subject of regret to all who believe that the true dignity of a nation consists in the uprightness of its inhabitants, and that there can be no prosperity which is not based on adherence to principle.For the rest the speech, which of course is that of the Ministers, not of the Governor-General, except in his official capacity, contains absolutely nothing worthy of notice, unless it he an additional misstatement.The country has to listen while the Ministry speaks of economy ; yet it is perfectly well known that there has not been even a pretence of retrenchment in any department; that in several, immense expenditures have been incurred, so far as results are known and perhaps we may add so far as reason instructs us, without the slightest utility; that in some large augmentations of the charges upon the Treasury, which had been for years denounced by the Upper Canadian soi-disant 1 iberals of the ministry have been sanctioned by these very persons the moment that they were admitted to power ; and finally that after all recent additions to taxation there will be a a worse deficit than ever, of which a very-large part will be due to increased expenditure.Take one example of economy.Had the mission to England, which has had no tangible results been only postponed for a few weeks it could have been performed with quite as much efficiency, after the ordinary Parliamentary session had been closed ; and in that case the country would have saved all the expense of a second session within the twelve month.This involves TlOO and mileage to every member of both houses of the Legisla^ ture and no end of contingencies.His Excellency holds out no reason to expect any legislation of a beneficial kind during this extra session except the closing up of the business of last session, which therefore, so far as we gather from this speech, will he a simple loss of time and money at a period when the revenue from indirect taxation has fallen of from one-third to one-half.We may safely conclude however, that Parliament will he called upon, as usual, though in time of peace, and with no extraordinary causes of outlay to add yet again to the constantly increasing burdens, which eacli session imposes upon us.This last business will we have no doubt be the most interesting of those which will be transacted during the session just begun.It is not mentioned in the speech.But tho images of some illustrious Romans were only the more present in mens minds, because they were not carried in the processions where they were looked for.MWMëàï; h;eMlb\tcommercial gazette ; Wednesday, august y, ioDOi The North West Passage by Land.\u2014In June, 1862, Lord Milton and Dr.Cheadle left Liverpool for Quebec, \u201cwith the design of discovering the most direct route through British territory to the gold regions of Cariboo, and exploring the unknown country on the Western flank of the Rocky Mountains, in the neighborhood of the sources of the North branch of the Thompson River.\u201d This they regarded as the true North West Passage to the Indies, and they resolved upon employing a holiday in traversing the ground for themselves in order to clear away some of the objections to the projects.Their effort appears to have been to some extent, successful, and they have written an interesting book about the district between Canada and British Columbia.Of the first portion of their jour, ney, by Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, and Port Garry to Port Carlton, but little is said, the route having been frequently traversed and described.The greater part of the volume is devoted to a narrative of their experiences of Indian life, while wintering near White Fish Lake, and the difficult passage of the Rocky Mountains the following summer.There is a full description of the Indians of the Hudson\u2019s Bay territory, which shows that their life is passed in an alternation of oppressive hunger and gross surfeiting, toilsome exertion and idleness.In May, 1863, the travellers left their winter quarters and worked their way as rapidly as the nature of the country would permit, through trackless woods, Over uu-bndged rivers, and up the tugged Rocky Mountains, into British Columbia, where they arrived at the end of August.The description of their appearance at this stage of their journey is somewhat amusing.With scanty food, and but few of the appliances for such a journey, they necessarily suffered many hardships, and when they found th em-selves once more in the presence of civUiza, tion, they were \u201cas miserable and unprepossessing a company as ever presented itself \u201c for approval ; our clothes in tatters, the \u201c legs of Milton\u2019s trousers torn off above the \u201c kness and Cheadle\u2019s in ribbons; our feet \u201c co i-ered only by the shreds of moccasins; \u201c our faces gaunt, haggard, and unshaven; \u201cour hair long, unkempt, and matted.\u201d But many of the difficulties they experienced might be obviated by other travellers, and with a beaten road and conveniences of transit supplied, the journey might be rendered tolerably pleasant.The route is described as affording abundant facilities for traffic, and passes through a district rich in rewards for both the hunter and farmer.Millions of money and hundreds of lives have been lost, say Lord Milton and Dr.Cheadle, in the search of a North £West passage by sea.\u201cDiscovered at last, it has proved useless.Tlie North West passage by land is the real highway to the Pacific ; and let us hope that, as our countrymen gained the glory of the former brilliant achievement, valueless to Commerce, so they may be the first to establish a railway across the continent of America, and reap the solid advantages which the realization of the old dream has failed to afford.\u201d Mr.Macfic, a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, in a work on Vancouver Island and British Columbia, is as earnest in argument for that undertaking as Viscount Milton, but he represents the necessity of establishing a proper footpath\u2014which could be done at small expense\u2014before the plan of railway communication can be carried into effect.This, lie believes, would be the means of opening up the interior, and rendering the railway less expensive and more profitable.\u201cAt no distant,period,\u201d he says, \u201c the resistless influence of the discoveries east and west of the Rocky Mountains in British territory will tempt emigrants from Europe and the A tlantic provinces westward ; and ere many years pass over, emigration may set in and settlements rise up on the banks of the streams connecting the western with the eastern parts of the continent at a rate defying all the barriers that a monopolizing association can set up, and surpassing the expectations of the most sanguine.\u201d The writers to whom we have alluded, all agree that some such passage as this must succeed in the end as a means of sure and rapid communication with China and Japan, and even India and Australia, and urge its necessity for the proper development of the resources of British Columbia and Vancouver Island.kept on one side of a harrow yard, and about twenty on the other.To add to the combination of effluvia there is the leceptacle for the pigs\u2019 food, a barrel or hogshead filled with de.cayed vegetable matter, the refuse of all kinds Sanitary Measures.\u2014Tiie weekly mortality bills, although not presenting on the surface much interesting reading, are highly suggestive.The death rate, rising with the rise of the thermometer, shews tliat there is some cause at work, which may to a greater or less extent be removed.The enormous proportion ol children too, even after making every allowance for those left in a dying state at the door of the Sœurs Grises Hospital, many of whom, it is known, have been brought from a distance, shews that something very far wrong exists either in drainage, ventilation, or management, or probably in all combined.By a report of the New York Board of Health we find that the total number of deaths there is twenty-five thousand, of which no less than seven thousand might be prevented, and that there are two hundred thousand cases of sickness which need not happen were the proper precautions adopted.Take the same proportion here, and out of the total number of individuals dying, one thousand might be saved and thirty thousand cases of illness might be prevented.These cases of illness represent an amount of lost money, which would go far toward improving the drainage of the city and otherwise preparing it to meet a threatened epidemic.It is evident that every hour a working man loses is so much taken off the comfort of hia family, and the same cause which induces the attack of sickness also tends to produce a chronic state of feeblensss and lassitude.Under these circumstances no man can work witli the same energy as in a good state of health.The employer loses the benefit of a full day\u2019s labour, and any man who lias had long experience in dealing with workmen may calculate approximately the total loss from this cause to the city of Montreal alone.We take tliis low ground at the outset as with many the question appears to be one of mere pounds,' shillings and pence.There are other and higher considerations, but to these we scarcely think we need refer.At the meeting of the Health Committee of the City Council, held on Monday, Dr.Fraser expressed his belief that with Montreal as it is, a return of choiera would not probably be delayed for more than a year.He recommended the appointment of a Sanitary Commission to investigate at once, and to report to the Committee what steps were necessary to ward off the threatened attack.Now, it is clearly impossible, as lie said, for medical men in general practice, to devote the neces sary time to this work.A superficial exam ination of a part of the city would be worse than useless, lor an imperfect report might be accepted, and measures adopted very far short of the necessities of the case.A rigid, searching examination of every street, lane, court and house in the city, and very minute inquiry into subjects which come more within the ken of the medical man than of the public journalist, must be instituted.It is not possible for medical men to attend to these things as well as to their profession.Either the patients must be neglected or thé public duty left undischarged, and a conscientious man would hesitate before taking on himself a task which lie must clearly see cannot be fulfilled.Hence, then, arises the necessity for the appointment of a Health Officer, who must be a well paid official, so that the services of an able and experienced man may be obtained.Unless a good officer is got, the salary would be money worse than thrown away.The statistics given by Dr.Fenwick at the meeting shew in -a very striking manner the change that such an officer, properly seconded, might bring about.In London the deaths had decreased from one in twenty to one in forty-five, in Liverpool from one in twenty-eight to one in forty-four.The death rate here is estimated at one in thirty-four, but allowing for the imperfect mode of registration, &c., that this is an over-estimate and that it is really one in thirty-seven, why should we be content with so high a rate ?Why it does prevail is evident enough.Filth is allowed to accumulate not merely in the low lying and poorer parts of the town, but in the lanes at the backs of handsome streets, behind pleasantly situated houses, in rear of splendid terraces.From these dirty fetid lanes a foul nuisance pollutes the atmosphere and poisons the air, which, instead of invigorating, taints the system, pre paring in it a hot bed to bring rapidly to maturity the seeds of disease, which, under other circumstances, Would be unproductive of harm.In the other parts of the town in addition to those causes of disease, there are others peculiar to themselves.By a well meant, but certainly a most injudicious regulation of the Corporation, Piggeries are allowed within the city limits.With the utmost cafe, and under the most favourable circumstances, it is impossible to keep these in a perfectly clean state.Even those which are apparently well looked after, emit a most disagreeable odour, and some which on slight in spection presented no appearance of anything wrong, have been found clean swept on the floor, while underneath there was a mass of putridity.In one case lately brought before th« Recorder, forty pigs were proved to be -J -\tO- /\t- J collected from every quarte1' and allowed to

malignant types of disease.To the inaction on the part of the Corporation, also, it is owing that slaughter houses are still allowed within the city limits.It is unquestionable that the butchers have done all in their power to render them as far as possible, harmless.But the very nature of the business causes à certain amount of decayed animal matter to be about the premises.The blood soaks into the boards and is spilt about the ground in front.Tliis happens, as we have said, even with the best, and no conviction for nuisance can with justice be obtained against those who are doing all that is possible for men to do.The only remedy for this state of matter is to have public slauu;hter-houses such as are establish 1\t- - -\tvr AAA ed in many parts of Europe, outside of the IKpot\u2019Montreal city, and so placed as to give the utmost possible convenience to the butchers in the different parts of the town.No doubt a question may arise as to compensation K\tJ\t\u2018\tAVI.1 and we are not prepared to say that a demand oruik'.sliank\u2019 Geo Chaput, L Chaput, C Copeland, C Cochrane, H Dorwin, C Daley, J H Dessaulles, Mr Davie, Jas G Boucher de

unfair.Some inconvenience will be caused, and the Corporation, even to _______ \u201e carry out such a good end, must not be guilty childs^c\u2019H of injustice.Be that as it may, the great question of the lives and health of the people .cannot and must not be neglected.A judicious outlay will not be thrown away.As things are now, the recurrence of sickness, disease and death every summer, is looked upon as a matter of course, and those who can afford it fly with their children to the sea side or to the country, leaving Montreal as if it were .Certain death to their children to re-majn here.This need not be.These are matters coming strictly under the notice of the Health Officer, whom we trust to see appointed.As to the question of the adulteration of liquor that, m our view, is more a part of the duty of the Revenue Inspector, whose business it is to see that such evasions of the law are not permitted.It is unquestionable, however, that a Health officer might be of great use in assisting to detect such practices, and the great benefit that has arisen from the labours oi Dr.Hassal, in analysing articles of food and liquor, and publishing the names of dishonest dealers, gives good grounds for the belief that similar watchfulness exercised here would be attended with even greater results, the area being more limited, and, therefore, the effect of exposure more marked.We need scarcely say, that the action now being taken by the Health Committee, meets with entire approval, and the means they have adopted of ascertaining the best method of grappling with the evil, are those most likely to lead to a satisfactory result.The Medical gentlemen too, who have, with a good deal of inconvenience to themselves personally, come forward to assist, are worthy of the thanks of the community.The Late Pater Oertel\u2014In the account we gave of the loss of the \u201cQuinnebang\u201d in last Saturday\u2019s Herald, we erroneously mentioned the above name as \u201cPat.Ortel,\u201d which we wish to correct, the past life and heroic death of this gentleman being worthy of some notice.Pater Oertel, whose name is known to by far the majority of the five million Germans in the United States, was one of those few men who through weal and woe of a long and useful life, preserved the power of independently expounding his religious views, irrespective of sect or denomination.Powerful, both in body and mind, he reminded one of Riym'd, S ,,\t, ,\t\u2019\tRad wav the great German reformer-\u2014whom his Eng hsh biographer has described as of Alpine-strength\u2014Dr.Martin Luther.As a writer he contributed largely and for a great many years, to the \u201cSt.Louis Wcstliche Post,\u201d and to different German New York newspa.pers.His writings were greatly distinguished by their clear and terrible language.Pater Oertel died after having reached the shore almost insensible Irom exhaustion.A few moments sufficed to revive him ; but when he saw his fellow creatures struggling among the breakers for life, it was not for him here to be idle.Though only just saved himself, he went back again into the water, battling with the waves, to save whomsoever he could.But the elements proved too much for his powers, and with the rest he found a watery grave.It is such deeds that show the man ! CORRESPONDENCE.SEA SIDE CORRESPONDENCE.To the Editor of the Montreal Herald.Dear Sir,\u2014The village of Tadousac on the St.Lawrence, near the mouth of the Saguenay, is the place where on the 1st of September, 1555, Jaques Cartier, the discoverer of the St.Lawrence, is said first to have set his foot on Canadian soil, and on the same day he entered the Saguenay, and here may still be seen an old Chapel occupying the place where stood the first sacred edifice erected in the country.It is a frame building, about twenty-five feet by thirty in size inside the walls, with a handsome altar.The altar piece represents the Crucifixion ; on either side of which are two other paintings.At Tadousac a trading post of the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company has been until recently in existence.When I first visited the place the residence ' of one of the partners, the warehouse and store together with a flag staff flanked with two iron cannons, were there ; hut now the residence, a one story house, alone remains.A sterile rocky point called LTslet, divides the Saguenay from the St.Lawrence, near which there is at present an encampment consisting of two wigwams occupied by half breeds.At the entrance of one of these huts my friend, a Rev.Doctor, amused himself for some time with the young mitiffs and a pet beaver.Some distance up the Saguenay between Cross Point and the Ball, there is a cavern up the side of the mountain which I named the Hunter\u2019s Cave, because it was there the Indians, when returning from hunting, hid their peltries from the coast guard.The remains of a cask and a strong chest are still there, the hasp of the latter I brought away with me as a souvenir.At a little distance from -the trading post buildings aforementioned, a clump of trees marks the place near which the fortifications erected by the French once stood, and at some distance beyond near some fir trees may be seen the remains of the first stone and mortar building erected in Canada.There was the residence of Pere Marquette, the explorer of the Mississippi.The Jesuit\u2019s garden is still cultivated, and is some mile or two down the St.Lawrence below Tadousac Bay.Opposite to the road leading down to the hotel, and parallel to the road leading from L\u2019Anse a 1\u2019Eau to Moulin Baude, is an exceedingly high terrace with a tree in the centre deprived of its branches.This terrace at a distance has the appearance of a fortification, and the old tree resembles a flag staff.Having reached this elevation which commands a magnificent view of the hay and the surrounding country, I named it Jacques-Cartier Terrace, and plucked therefrom a sprig of the flower commonly called \u201cImmortal\u201d fit emblem of the fame of the noble, navigator.A large and well finished hotel has been erected on the delightful plateau between the churches and Hudson Bay House, and there is little doubt Tadousac will rapidly rise in the public estimation as a summer residence.The hotel has been built by a Joint Stock Company and is at present under the able management of Samuel Browning, Esq., of the Ottawa Hotel, Montreal, whose skill as a caterer is well known and who spares no expense to make his guests comfortable.The rooms are airy comfortably furnished and clean, the tables are supplied with all the delicacies of the season as well as the substantial, and the attendance is excellent ; this, together with the excellent bathing and boating, the romantic scenery, ancient buildings, ruins and legends connected therewith and the pleasant walks in the vicinity will doubtless attract many in search of health, relaxation, or the picturesque to this one of the cradles of Canadian civilization and the place where the first Christian service was celebrated in Canada.I am, Mr.Editor, as ever.F.W.V.Tadousac Hotel, August 2nd, 1865.ARRIVAL AND RECEPTION OF GENERAL GRANT IN THIS CITY.General Grant arrived yesterday morning by steamer from Quebec and proceeded to the

July 29th ult, Mrs.Lagan of Port Maitland, in passing over the rod connecting the horse-power with the cylinder of a thrashing Machine caught her dress and she was carried under the rod.Fortunately the horses were checked almost Instantly by the driver, Mr.Furry.The person feeding the machine also had the presence of mind to throw In enough to check the horses at the time.She had two of her ribs broken, and is badly bruised.She will most likely ïÿCQYW.\u2014(Haldimmd Tribum.Kidnappino op Mr.Sanders.\u2014Yesterday morning we gave all the information we could then gather about this transaction.We now give some farther details.Up till half-past one, yesterday morning three men had been arrested.Sub-Chief Naigle had made arrangements to capture the party at Caughnawaga, and for this purpose he made use of the two Indians who were in the boat prepared for the gang.The Kidnappers had been expected as Caughnawaga about half-past eleven.The man leftin charge there had, however; waited till after one before he went to bed so that about half-past one, when Mr.Naigle arrived he had no difficulty in getting admittance at DeLorimier\u2019s Hotel, where he was.On knocking at the bed room door it was at once opened, and the wouldbe cap-tor found himself captured.He was identified by O\u2019Leary as one of the party.He said his named was Wayne.He had a long dagger ready for use, but got no chance to try it.So sudden was his seizure that he offered no resistance.In the hotel were found three valises packed and all,ready for a start, These were brought along, In the meantime Mr.McLaughlin, chief of the Water Police, who had gone to Lachine, gave instructions on his return that all the river banks should be closely watched as all of the party had not yet been taken and it was probable those who were at large would try to escaye by boat or canoe.When sending the men in their boats about three in the morning he repeated his order so that there might be no mistake.About four o\u2019clock three men were seen going along the wharf nearly opposite the Royal Insurance Buildings.On being stopped they said they wanted to cross and had been looking for a boat to take them over.They were at once taken into custody.They were evidently Americans ; it was a most unusual hour ; and their story was not very connected.Their names are Brown Burlingham, of Providence, R.I., William E.Brown, of Deerfield, Mass, and Emos Stedson, of Greenfield, Mass.They called themselves horse traders, going to purchase in the country.Their capital did not warrant the belief that they were in a large way of business.Burlingham had Ç48, Brown $157, and Stedson $265, all the money being partly greenbacks and partly silver.The two Massachusets men had been living at the Eagle Hotel and the other at the American House.Nothing has yet been discovered.to implicate these men in the plot, hut they have in the meantime been detained on suspicion.The following further details of what took place on Monday night, may be interesting.When Mr.Tetu challenged after the carriage had dashed through the toll gate, three of the kidnappers fired upon him immediately, one of them, Hogan, having jumped down and taken deliberate aim.The four then made for the field to the left hand side of the road and got in, Mr.Tetu in pursuit when he got on top of the fence the three fired again ; but undeterred he leaped in after them.It was a field of oats and the crop being pretty high and the ground rough, no opportunity presented itself of taking steady aim again.Sub Constable Glynn by this time had got into the field and the men made off, as fast as possible, after having fired at Glynn.The party then divided, two kept straight for Dorchester street some times stooping as they ran and at other times crawling through the oats, finally, however, effecting their escape and making for the city.Of the other two one had at once run in the direction of Lachine.He on coming into the road was apprehended.The other running half way up the field, followed in the same direction, but seeing his comrade taken, he doubled got to the bush and escaped.Bums was taken in the buggy.It had been driven about fifty yards behind the carriage, and was coming along at a furious rate when the firing commenced.Burns stopped at once and seemed to be stupefied to find that the whole thing was discovered.He made no resistance when Sub Chief Naigle seized him and took out of his pockets o revolver and handcuffs, Hogan has been r was a most villainous one, and included the forcible seizure not only of Mr.Sanders Lut of Mr Beverley Tucker and other prominent exiles m the country as well as in the city It had been intended to charter a steamer to cany off a Southern gentleman living on the O mLoaWr:nCev,- ?\u2019h® p°lice have beem aware kavlnS Confederates at Uongueuil and St.Lambert and have been keeping watch over their movements.His real name js Charley A'-ifthiSi The plot FAREWELL ENTERTAINMENT TO DAVID MOSS, Esq.Last night the Young Men\u2019s Hebrew Benevolent Society of Montreal gave a complimentary entertainment to David Moss, Esq., prior to his departure from this city.Mr.Moss, who has for thirty years been resident here, has long been known for his deeds of benevolence, and carries with him, to the land of his nativity, the best wishes, not only or his co-religionists hut of all those, without respect of creed, who have had the pleasure of his acquaintance.The entertainment was given at the Terrapin and we need scarcely say that Mr.Carlyle had done ids part of the entertainment to perfection.The room in which the company met was elegantly draped with national flags and masonic banners, and the coup' d\u2019œil reflected great credit oh the purveyor of the feast.C.L.Levey, Esq., occupied the Chair! After tlie more substantial part had been disposed of, tlie Chairman called for a bumper for.our most excellent and virtuous Queen which was received with all the honours and followed by the National Anthem led by Mr.Samuel E.Moss, and followed by th-e other loyal and patriotic toasts usual on such occasions Mr.Cohen, Mr.Hyam, D.Moss, Mr.Braham of Toronto and the Rev.Dr.Farst singing after each toast appropriate songs.Alexander Stevenson, Esq., responded to the toast of the Army tlie Navy and the Volunteers, followed by Mr! Jacob E.Moss with a song and by Mr.J G Ascher, who very eloquently recited Shakspeare\u2019s \u201c Seven Ages.\u201d I he Chairman called for bumpers to the toast which he had to propose.It was the toast of the evening, to the health of our guest.(Great applause).They were met to take what was probably a last forewell with Mr.David Miss, who was better, known to many of those present than to him.lie had no doubt they would all join in wishing him all happiness m the future sucii as he justly deserved.During the thirty years Mr.Moss had lived in Montreal he had gained there many friends and had made the Jews respected and esteemed.In losing Mr.Moss it would not only be this society but Montreal which would lose one of her foremost citizens.During his (the Chairman\u2019s) stay of fourteen years he had neve r heard any one speak of Mr.Moss but in the highest terms.Although it appeared as iif they were about to lose Mr.Moss\u2019s presence for ever yet he left behind him some to follow his example and to shew what he had been.He felt that the hope of all was that his happiness in future would be unalloyed, that her chidren\u2019s children would bless him as they grew up around him.He would call upon all to join in the wish that the future life of Mr.Moss might be prosperous and happy.(Great cheering.) Mr.Moss, who was received with great enthusiasm, said that there was a time when the tongue refused to speak what the heart felt.And the present was for him such a time, when he saw around him the faces of so many old friends.He felt it tell tho more from the Young Men\u2019s Hebrew Benevolent Society as this was the first public festival in which they had joined together.His hands, he felt, had been tied, seeing that one of the rules of the association restricted it to the young men and therefore lie could not do so much in its behalf as he would like to have done.No married men were admitted and therefore on this occasion he felt doubly grateful to them for entertaining him as their guest.The society was a credit to Montreal and he could not help asking their fellow citizens to see how much good had been done by such a mere handful of Jews.No one who called upon them for relief shewing himself worthy had yet been turned away.He could never forget, wherever his future life might be spent, tlie warm friendship he had experienced in Montreal nor the kindness of this society.In Montreal lie had spent tlie best part of his life and would ieave many friends behind him.If they continued to treat him as they had done for the last few days he did not know hut what he jmight yet repeat of leaving and return to 'live amongst them.(Hear, hear).Should the Society ever be in want ot funds, his purse was at their service and he begged in conclusion of propose prosperity to the Society.The Chairman said that from tlie time when the Society was formed two years ago it had gone on prospering, and from all appearance would still go on to prosper.No less than 366 applicants had been relieved, many of whom were now in a position to support themselves.The society numbered only twenty-five young men yet they had disbursed already over seven hundred dollars.Of course they could not have done so without external aid, yet so resolved were they that the society should not go down that they had made up their minds rather to spend all they had than to suffer such a disgrace.By careful management he trusted to see tlie reserve fund doubled.Their motto was, \u201cExcelsior.\u201d They felt they could go on, because the Jewish community at large was anxious to support tlie Society.The unfortunate state of af-affairs in the United States had laid upon them a heavier burden than they were likely to meet with in future, now that peace was established.He was glad to say that, although Mr.Moss was going from them, he yet left behind a fund which was to fructify until a sufficient sum was amassed, either from the interest arising out of it, or from other sources, to found a Jewish Free School.(Great applause).In tliis good and praiseworthy object tiiey would co-operate with the Synagogues^! the city.He trusted that on tlie other side of the water Mr.Moss would not, when shewn the large sums subscribed and expended by older societies, forget to shew what the society, with small numbers and limited means had done in the cause of benevolence.Mr.J.G.Ascher proposed tlie toast of Our Distressed Brethren in very appropriate and feeling terms.He then asked leave from tlie Chairman to propose tlie following sentiment, paying as lie did so, a most discriminating eulogium on the character of Sir Moses Montefoire.\u201cSir Moses Montefoire, tho champion of Israel, whose true piety is opposed to bigotry, whose valour paies the conqueror\u2019s highest gem, and whose good acts are an everlasting monument.\u201d The sentiment was received with great enthusiasm.The Ohairman proposed our Sister Societies coupled with the health of Alexander Stevenson, Esq., President of Caledonian Society who very happily replied.Tlie Press was proposed and briefly replied to.Dr.Bernard proposed the ladies paying a high tribute to their worth in a speech at once humorous and eloquent.Mr.Samuel Moss replied very happily to tlie toast.Dr.Bernard wished to propose one toast but before doing so he could not forbear thanking the Young Men\u2019s Society for haxing given him an opportunity of being present.It cheered his heart to see Such cor* diality and kindliness of feeling and such a flow of affection to Mr.David Moss as he had there witnessed.But although he would leave them, his example would he left behind, his name would be held in remembrance with the Jewish Free Schooi.(Appiaute.) His feelings were 'of mingled pain and pleasure.He had frequently met Mr.Moss in every relation of life and now felt that when he went Jtlfis would be a separation for ever.Many changes had been known by him during tlie years he had spent in Montreal.He had known many of these who were now round him when little children, and their fathers as young men.He rejoiced to find in tliis city so much of human sympathy, and foremost in works affected by this was their friend.But though he went away lie left one behind.He liad not known him so long, but he knew that lie had helped many a struggling one, placed him on his feet and nerved him to follow a path of honest usefulness by his assistance.(Applause.) He would now propose tiie health of Mr.Edward Moss.Mr.Edward Moss very briefly returned thanks.A number of other toasts were drank during the evening, and the singing was very far above what is usually heard in meetings of this kind.Tlie Messrs.Moss, junior, Mr.Cohen, Mr.A.Braham, of Toronto, Messrs.Samuel and other gentlemen sung operatic and other airs in a style that would not have disgraced professionals.The evening passed pleasantly, and every one regretted its termination.A hearty farewell was given to Mr.David Moss, whose departure from among them seemed to he deeply regretted by all.self up to T.Kidd, Esq., J.P., the old man went to A.McCown\u2019s, and told him what he had done The funeral took place on Thursday of last week and was a most mournful and impressive ceremony.The deceased was greatly liked, and the sorrow on account of his dreadful death was heartfelt and general.Some sixty teams laden with mourners of all denominations attended the funeral from the deceased\u2019s late residence to the Irishtown church, where the body was interred, the Rev.Father Murphy preaching on the occasion a most impressive funeral sermon.THE CONNECTICUT MURDERS\u2014CONFESSION OF THE MURDERER.The Hartford Times, of Thursday, says that Alfred Starkweather has confessed the murder of his mother and sister at Manchester.The confession, which was not unexpected by those best informed of the facts, was made by the prisoner, in the jail at Hartford, to Mr.James Campbell, of Manchester, the father of the girl to whom the prisoner was engaged to he married.The chief of police, believing that he would acknowledge more to Campbell than to anybody else, requested the latter to go to the jail yesterday afternoon, where the wretched young man.discarding all liis previous lies and contrivances to avoid detection, made a clean breast of it, and confessed the awful crime.\u201c He acknowledged, after some questioning that he had butchered his mother, and then his sister, with the axe, and then to make certain of the fiendish job, he had repeatedly plunged his butcher-knife into their throats and bosoms; winding up the deed of horror by setting the bed on fire, and then his own bed, downstairs.\u201cI did it,\u2019 he said, \u2018I did it.Mr.Campbell, out of love for your daughter and nothing else.I felt I must have that money, for without it she wouldn\u2019t marry me, and I got the money.\u201d \u201cA letter written by the murderer to Mr.Campbell filled nearly four pages, andthe.state-ment was made that the writer was now in a condition to marry Miss Campbell, as he had succeeded, through forgery, in getting money to the amount of four thousand dollars ; and it also said that he was about to commit an atrocious-, leaving the intended crime un- named.The forgeries alluded to are believed to have never been committed, and iris counsel will claim this letter as proof of the prisoner\u2019s insanity ; though it may have been written to deceive,the girl\u2019s father into the belief that the prisoner had money enough to get'married with.\u201c Starkweather told the police, during the examination following tlie murder, that he had purchased his mother\u2019s interest, for one thousand five hundred dollars, in the farm ; that lie had got a deed of tlie property, which conveyed it to Miss Campbell,, and that on their marriage it was to be recorded.He also stated that he had made a bill of sale of all his stock, houses and cows, to Miss'Campbell\u2019s father, and that this, together witli the deed of the farm, had been stolen by the two murderers.\u201cWhen urged by officer Cowles to confess tlie crime, and being given to understand that ifhe would do so a way would he contrived to get him sately off, he replied that \u2018he knew what .sort of a fellow Chamberlin was too well to make any such confession, eveii if he were guilty, for Chamberlin would spot him and hold him.\u2019 He also said, \u2018Do you think, if 1 were guilty, I would he sucii a fool as to leave that butcher-knife on tiie bed ?\u2019 \u201cThe funeral of the victims was attended this afternoon, and the bodies were conveyed to Hartford and buried in bpring Grove Cemetery, by the side of the husband and father.An immense crowd of people assembled at the funeral,and the seats erected in front of the house were filled by persons of both sexes from all the country around, eager to see tlie impressive ceremonies and hear the words of the pastor.\u201d This Hibbert Murder Case.\u201415c, ASHES\u2014Per 100 lbs : Pots $5,10 leb 5 Pearls $5,20/6)5,30.OATMEAL\u2014Per 200 lbs $4,50/6)4,60.CHEESE\u2014Factory He ; Dairy 9Jc /5) ] Market steady.(BY TELEGRAPH.)
