the record making 2868 foolscap pages ; the defence ¦was opened on the 26th day of September ; the number of witnesses subpœned is 106, examined thus for 17 and 55 have reported themselves for opening a road to it through .barrens North of Lake Superior, ins eai oj through the fat prairies of the Mississippi and Red River Tallies ; lastly, for the creation o.two new governments in Canada hy way o machinery for a Confederation between r vinces which are already provided with a form of government amply sufficient for their wants \u2014all these depend upon the idea of con verting Canada into a military state, instead oi an industrial one.Mr.Brown and his newspaper are the best exponents of this policy gentleman, as we all know was years ago strongly opposed to the undertaking by he Province of Canada of the weaker parts of the Grand Trunk scheme.He Mr Galt\u2019s 11 Per cent dividend prospectus, and if British investors instead of looking at nothing but interested representations, and taking°all statements made by Canadian offi.cials as Gospel truths,- had read his expositions of real facts, they would have saved a great deal of money.Mr.Galt may be as sanguine respect ing the prospects of the Intercolonial as lie was respecting those of the Grand Trunk But Mr.Brown does not share his delusion.He repeatedly stated before he accepted office what every one knows to be true, that the traffic on the road will not pay for greasing the wheels.It is true that at one time he considered this an objection to a foolish and burdensome outlay, which to-day he is ardently desirous of rushing into.But he professes to be consistent in his opinions as to the prospects of the road.He still avows its utter futility in a commercial point of view ; but then he has now embraced Confederation,\u2014in which he is not consistent\u2014and he says that in order to have Confederation we must have -1- -\tTfvuy meu the expenditure of millions on a road Wn™\u2014_\t,\t, ,\t.\t.-'ritral trafiic stands upon Confederation as in the tf iiigcK.,,.\u201e\u2014 ny the World stands upon the tortoise.But what does our tortoise stand on ?As a matter of fact on the necessity for an excuse for the purity of Mr.Brown coming in contact, in the same Cabinet, with the filth of those whom down to a twelvemonth ago he called \u201ccorruptionists hut the idea of a new political arrangement for six Provinces by way of quiet ing a party dispute in one Province must for ostensible purposes be put aside ; and our tortoise must, m courtesy, be supposed to stand on something a little more substantial-\u2014that is to say, on the need of strengthening ourselves against the United States.Of course the ground for the fortifications is reached by a still more direct road ; and as to theNorth WestTerritory\u2014it cannot run away ; our own country we are told still wants émigrants to settle it ; we have plenty of occupation for all and more than all the money we can raise for public purposes ; but we Canadians who certainly have quite enough to do to protect our own line of frontier in case of attack, must chivalrously or Quixotically refuse to wait till we want and can make use of that region, and must undertake.to rush in there by the\tworst road, and with our bodies bar the better road to all comers, lest the Yankees should he beforehand with us.When we shall have done all this, and without war incurred a war debt\u2014when we shall have otherwise decreased the comparative attrac tions of the country hy compelling a large portion of our people into profitless military service, while the Americans shall have re turned to their old policy of keeping up an in-flmtessimal military force\u2014we may probably feel ourselves as safe as Denmark, or as independent as Belgium, which, with a larger number of mounted guns to the square mile, and a larger number of soldiers per thousand of population than any other country, besides the understood protection of all Europe in her favour, fears to resist the will of France when Louis Napoleon gives her the insulting order to drive Victor Hugo or M.Rogeard, out of her territory.On the other hand, we have the policy of peaceful internal development as an imtnstrial people, intenamg no evil to others, and though conscious that we are not and cannot he as strong as our neighbours, confident that we are no more likely to harassed on that account, than a small man is likely to be knocked down because he is standing by the side of a big one.This policy instead of leading us to engage in unproductive military works within our own borders, and in equally useless expenditures to the East and West of us, will recognize as the loading fact in our position, that our territoiy is so interlocked with that of the United States, as to make our prosperity depend to a very great extent upon peaceable and profitable connections with the people of that country.It will regard not merely as a matter of fact, hut as a matter of geographical necessity, that all our railway lines are intended to connect us with the the neighbouring richer and more populous country, and will remember that we have an interest equal even to that of the people of that country in the navigation of the St.Lawrence and the Lakes, by which the produce of the Great West finds its way to the Ocean.With out menace to others ; hut firmly relying on our own right, it will tend to reduce our import duties to the very lowest figure consistent with the production of an adequate revenue, so as at once to relieve the consumer and to bring our policy into unison witli the policy and the interests of the empire.Instead of seeking for new responsibilities and consequently new embarrassments.This policy will teach us to mind our own business ; that we have quite as much as we can do, if we attend to it properly ; and that whatever money we can obtain for public purposes will he best employed in the enlargement of our canals, as well for our own local business as to attract that of our neighbors, and to have the power of offering them facilities for commerce which it is well-known they desire in return for the renewal of the Redipro-city Treaty.And for internal affairs, instead of overturning the British constitutional system which we now have, and substituting for it a written constitution, which must either be waste paper, or must, in respect to the articles decreed by such written constitue power they would otherwise possess, it would conserve our existing system, and encourage its developement by the legal and ordinary methods in accordance with the well understood wishes of the people, whether those wishes shall lead ns to representation according to population, to a Union of the Provinces, or to any other arrangement demanded by the people through their representatives in Parliament and enacted by the three estates of the Realm.For our own parts we have no hesitation in declaring for the latter of these policies, as the one most sound in itself ; most consistent with the growth and real developement of strength and prosperity in the Province ; as most safe for those of our fellow subjects in England who have invested their means in this country ; and as most in accord with the tranquillity permanence, and general interests of the Empire of which we form part.The Alternative Policies fob Canada.\u2014There can be nothing more true than the proposition recently made in the London limes in an article on the Intercolonial Railway, that we in Canada and those who in England influence our policy, have before them alternative systems from which to choose the one that of peaceful internal developement, and the direction of all our energies in that way,\u2014the other that of looking constantly to Washington, not in friendship, hut with suspicion and distrust, and under the panic produced by these sentiments, exhausting Ourselves in a vain attempt to equal in military strength a people fifteen times more numerous than with resources of other kinds largely out of proportion to our own.We may talk of the details of the schemes which our existing Ministry have laid before the country ; but they can only be properly understood by considering them as a whole with refeience to the choice between two consistent courses of action.The vast expenditures we are to incur for Fortifications ; for the Intercolonial Railway ; even for the acquisition of the Hudson Bay Territory, and then ourselves, still more ization will not be required.Moreover, there I will he greater liberty given to meetings.It is true that it is not the first time that the French nation has buoyed itself up with hopes of this nature but never I may assert has the belief in liberal reform been so general.As regards the date of the 14th October chosen by the newsmongers to complete the edifice, it arises from the supposition that the Government is about to manifest its exterior politics in regard to Prussia and Austria and that on the occasion of the anniversary of the battle of Jena.M.Drouyn de 1\u2019 Huys will renew to the two powers the opinion of Franco on the subject of the far famed convention of Gastein.Apropos to this, I must not omit to speak to you and at full length, of a pamphlet which is to be published io-morrow and which already occupies greatly the public attention, it is anonymous and bears the title of The Convention of Gastein.This pamphlet has nevertheless not been written with the aim either of flattering the French public nor to show that France has reason to be proud of the diplomatic act which has been brought about by the two great German powers.It seeks simply to explain the convention of Gastein in a purely political point of view and to prove that the contracting parties have only acted as they ought to do and that any other solution of the matter would have brought about a general conflagration Thus then I say that this pamphlet [of which I have been able to procure a copy] destined to make a great sensation, mean that the mysterious official origin which is imputed to it will ¦ contribute largely to make it sell.It is even affirmed, that M.de Bismark is not a stranger to this affair, and that at last, the terrible Brus sian Minister has decided on publishing to the world his most hidden thoughts.Let us the examine carefully this pamphlet, whose clear and precise terms has at least the merit, not to contain any ambiguity.The following is, tnerefore, at the same moment, it reproduction and an analysis of the Bismarkian document.The 30th of October, 1864, in consequence of the military events, which are still present to the minds of all, a treaty of peace was signed at Vienna by Denmark, Brussia and Austria.In virtue of this treaty, Prussia and Austria were substituted to the King of Denmark, in all his rights over the three duchies.At this time, lllboe\t,,rl cr.TrtoXseflv contested by the German Tress were recognized ; and this recognition took place at the very moment of the interference ofthe two German powers and when those two powers were about to take the measures which they deemed suitable in regard to the acquired territories.By this act, all pretensions of rival candidates were put aside as well as deductions, drawn from all ancient treaties concluded during the 17th aqd 18th centuries, and which perished hy the European changes brought about by the revolution of 1789, whose acts have been in more than one point respected by the treaties of 1815, which were concluded in hatred of revolutionary France.The Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein and Lau-enburg belong to Prussia and Austria since the 30th October,1864, and they have the power to dispose of them as they please.This point must be insisted on in order to appreciate the politics of the two Courts,in whatever light, the treaty itself he regarded.Politics are after all, nothing else than the art of carrying out acts which are accomplished, and not theories of realized facts, nor metaphysical doctrines.These principles once laid down, the author continues to appreciate the respective situation of the duchies and the two powers, and he proves that scarcely three months have elapsed since Prussia, Austria, and the whole of Europe found themselves face to face, with tins terrible and mysterious question.Matters were thus, when all at once the news »vas spread that M.de Bismark and M.de Bloome, both acting in the names of their respective sovereigns, have met at Gastein and signed the 14th of August 1865, the celebrated convention which bears its name.After having passed in review all the articles of the convention, thp author of the pamphlet exclaims ; \u201cIt is no slight service rendered its civilization, to have turned aside an i mpending war, in presence of the elements of disorder, which Europe in 1865 bears in its bosom, Thus, the author hints that a general war was imminent, and he states that the triple alliance, Prussian, Austrian and Russian, was only a menace addressed to Europe, with the object to put an endto the present state of things.Here he insinuates,hither that France, England and Italy have not been able to form an alliance, or that these three powers being alarmed, will take good care not to protest against the conduct of Prussia, and intend to leave to time the act of undoing the work of Gastein.These two points are to roy mind equally erroneous, for little as we know of modern politics, it is pre- The Flying Column and the Field Day at Laprairie.THE FLYING COLUMN.ÏNM.STÏUN OF EUROPE.Brussels C-orrcspomlenec of flic Wontrenl Herald.Brussels.Sept.20, 1865.No Parisian or Frenchman just now accosts his friend w\u2019th any other formula than that of \u201c Do you believe in the 14th Oct.1865.\u201d Why this date and what does this question mean 1 If we search in the history of the past we shall find that that day is the anniversary of the victory gained over the Prussians by Napoleon 1st at Jena but this fact needs not ail these commentaries, neither is it the solution of the problem.What is then the meaning of this enigma ?It is reported, and several newspapers have already given echo to these rumours that the 14th Oct.will form a pendant in the history of the second empire to the 24th of Nov., and that it will be a step\u2014I had almost said the only step\u2014towards liberal reforms.M.Emile Ollivier will that day be named either Minister of the Interior or Minister of State and the cabinet composed of members belonging to the party of Liberal Bonapartism.Ministerial responsibility will not be ro-established exactly as A was under the Government of July but each minister will have to defend his acts and those of his subordinates before the chamber.The law regarding the press will be softened down 'fi qco?61186\u2014the penalties of the decree 0 18 5 2 be not abolished, at least previous autho- cisely the troubled state of European politics, which ought to oblige these powers to rise out of the trate ot inaction, in which they have almost all for a long time been placed.The following is the singular manner ill which the anonymous author of a letter regards the conduct of M.de Bismarck, in regard to the \u201cIt is not possible at this moment, to judge by the conduct of M.de Bismarck, it must be be the work of the future, One thing is certain, whatever opinion be formed of him, no one can deny that he is a man of no ordinary talent, and above all, endowed with great boldness.In regard to the internal government of Prussia, M.du Bismarck is in open dispute with the representatives of the nation, even on the most fundamental questions.In spite of this, he convokes the chambers, and leaves to them the liberty of speech, and puts no obstacle to their voting how they please.Nevertheless, when the Parliament impedes his movements, he puts the Parliament aside, making use ofthe constitutional privilege of prorogation and dissolution, and then continues_his administration, as if the Parliament had not protested.M.de Bismark acts in the same manner in regard to the rights of the Duchies.Ho neither contests nor suppresses them ; lie makes no opposition to their being proclaimed, or that their application be demanded.But as this right might serve to complicate a state of things already too complicated, M.Bismark simply makes it be unnoticed.This is the right of the-strongest in the full sense of the word.France\u2014why should she be uneasy if Prussia gains a few hundred thousand inhabitants, or if Germany becomes possessed of a fleet?If the territorial aggrandisement of Prussia lay towards the frontier of France there might be some apparent danger for France ; but what danger can there he when this newly acquired territory is placed far from France, and separated by several independent States ?Moreover, in reality, France and Prussia, are they not, at least might they not be natural allies, uniting their strength and power to make civilization and liberty triumph in Europe.They can stretch forth the hand of friendship to one another across the Rhine, which rather unites than separates them.As enemies, they have done much harm, without this being productive of much good to either party.As friends, and united to England and America, they could decide the destinies of Europe.If united in friendship with America, they would govern the entire world.It is true, my dear sir, as you will easily judge from the above extracts, that this pamphlet\u2014looking at the source from which it is supposed to come\u2014is a most curious document.It is a long time, if I do not mistake, since I expressed to you my opinion that the question of Schleswig-Holstein embraced that of the whole world.The Indépendance has just published the circular addressed by the British Government to its foreign agents, relative to the Convention of Gastein.It does not widely differ from that of M.Drouyn de I\u2019Huys.It, that ail rights,\" trampled under foot by the Convention, and that violence and conquest have been the sole base on which the two powers have formed t.li treaty ; that the British Government deeply deplores such open contempt, in regrrd to the principles of the public rights and lawful pretensions of a people, to be heard in regard to its future lot.But in spite of the menacing tone of the French and English despatches, I am quite sure that Prussia and Austria will be able to rejoice in peace, at least momentarily, over their conquest.The Emperor, Napoleon III, is still at Biarritz and will not return to Paris until the 15th of October.It is asserted that the Queen of Spain already regrets having compromised her Bourbon principles with one elected by universal suffrage.Nevertheless, Mr.Ulloa, the Spanish Minister, officially presented on the 18th September his letters of credence to Victor Emmanuel who said : \u201c The ancient alliances between my family and those of the Royal family of Spain are an historical souvenir, most agreeable to us, and a gage of durable friends hip between two sister nations, who have the same institutions, the same long remembrance of friendship, and the same glorious sovenirs.\u201d But these diplomatic expressions are mere empty sounds.In a correspondence addressed to\" the Times, the transaction between Prussia and Austria in regard to the Duchies of Larenburg, is said to have put into the head of Gen.La Marmora the idea of a like transaction ; Austria has sold Prussia its rights of co-possession in Lauen-burg for a sum of money, why should she not equally he persuaded to abandon Venice and the Vemtian States, for a still heavier pecuniary indemnity 7 Such is at least the line of argument which General La Marmora supported r7 Elgl^d a?d FranCe> is aLout *0 My be-fore the Chambers.I give you this piece of news under all reserves not believing it much myself, for to my mind there is very little connection between Lauenburg and Venice.Speaking of these matteis I must ielate to you a good joke It is the fashion in France amongst the friends of M.de Bismark to.compare Prussia with Pied mont King William to Victor Emanuel' and Count de Bismark to Cavour.Need I tell you that this comparison is false in every wav and even were it true it signifies nothin\"- since France has not the same interest in the German question which she has in that of Italy.______________UN FRANÇAIS.The steamer Avon, reported sunk at the mouth of the Lachine Canal, is nowin port discharging, the report being without foundation.We have already mentioned that a flying column consisting of detachments from all the corps in this garrison left the city for a march ntothe country on Saturday last.The whole column was under the command of Major-General Lindsay, the regiments being under their respective Lieutenant-Colonels, viz : The 60tn under Lieutenant-Colonel Hawley, the 30th under Lieut.-Colonel Pakenham, and the 25th, K.O.B., under Lieutenant-Colonel Fane.The baggage was in charge of Mr.Goodwin, of the 30th, and the victuals accompanied the men on the march.The first days march was to Chambly, and being on this day week, the last day of a \u201c heated term,\u201d the troops suffered one of the extremes of weather in the shape of somewhat too much warmth.Arrived at Chambly they encamped for the night and remained on the ground under canvas till Monday morning, when they resumed the march for St.John.' On this day they encountered entire change of climate, and we are informed that ice formed in the camp.The march from Chambly to St.Johns was, however, a pleasant one, and\" here again the troops encamped for two nights.St.J ohns showed itself very hospitably inclined towards the warriors, who thus became its temporary guests, and M r.L.McDonald gave a ball on Tuesday night, which, like that at Brussels before Waterloo, was hardly finished before the order was given once more to take up the line of march.The dancing continued till three o\u2019clock in the morning, and the tents were struck at five o\u2019clock for the march to Laprairie.The work of Wednesday was in some respects the most arduous ofthe entire march.The distance was eighteen miles, and it rained hard all the way, which made the clay roads sticky under foot, while it soaked the blankets, and thus increased the weight which the men had to carry.Nevertheless the men came in at the end of the journey looking better than at the end of either of the other days\u2019 works.They hare remained there since Wednesday night, and make part of the force which was reviewed yesterday by Sir John Michel, tho commander in chief of the forces in this Province.THE FIELD DAY YESTERDAY.In spite of the threatening appearance of the sky on Thursday afternoon, the sun rose yesterday morning with a brightness which betokened a fine and mild day.Accordingly, sight-seers were early on foot, and a considerable number of persons from the city crossed the River to Laprairie by the 7 o\u2019clock boat, while horsemen and parties who took their carriages crossed at all the passsages of the ferry boat to St.Lambert.The greatest crowd, however, beset the \u201c Beaver\u201d on lier passage at 11 o\u2019clock.There seemed to be no end to the passengers who swarmed upon her decks till the very moment of her departure.At last, however, she was off, deeply laden with all sorts of curious people, whom she duly delivered, not without once or twice stirring up the bottom of the St.Law-fence, at the Lapraifie wharf.Those who disembarked at once, proceefled through the somewhat desolate-looking, village past the ruins, which have never been restored since the great fire of Laprairie, to the fine common, which extends on the southwest side of the village.Hefe the several corps were seen falling ihjpn the op.en space, while tfiat part of the grounS near the river and the bafrftcks was covered with tents ; those of the regulars nearest the river side road, and those of the cadets to the north of them.The troops on the ground, as nearly as we could ascertain, were : Two batteries of artillery under command of Colonel Pipon ; the 2qtli Regiment under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Fane ; 30th under Lieut.-Colonel Pakenham ; 60th under Lieut.-Colonel Hawley ; the whole brigade of regulars being under Major-General Lindsay ; the Upper Canada Cadets under Lieutenant-Colonel Shepherd; the Lower Canadian Cadets of British birth under Lieutenant-Colonel Smith ; and the Lower Canadian Cadets of French birth under Lt.-Col.Suzor, Col.Wolseley commanding the whole brigade, under Colonel MaoDougall as Chief of the Militia Service, When the whole of the troops had fallen in they appeared in line in the following order, viz ; One battery of artillery on each wiug; French battalion ef cadets on the left ; then English Lower Canadian cadets ; then Upper Canadian cadets ; then 30th Regiment; then 25th Regiment; then 6uth Rifles, Besides Lieutenant-General Sir John Mi eh ell, and his staff, there were on the ground, the Adjutant-General of Militia, Col.MaoDougall, and Colonel Dyde, the Commandant of Militia of Montreal and Staff ; among wham were Brig.-Maj.McPherson, Paymaster C.Belle, Colonel Lyman, and others.Mrs.MaoDougall and three Miss Mi chefs\u2019 accompanied the mounted officers on horseback.A guard of Victoria Rifles under Captain Hanflysifle was also present ; having come over from Montreal in the morning.Nothing could he more charming than the spectacle on the common, when the troops bright water of the broad St.Lawrence, with the finely wooded Nuns\u2019 Island lying on the stream ; the Mountain, dotted with handsome housesembosoiuec}.jn trees now fast assuming the bright hues of autumn, shutting in the horizon beyond ; the left closed in by the barrack buildings, and on the right the village with its church inglhe foreground, the bluff form ofthe Belqfll Mountain looming through the yellow\thaze of October\tbehind the houses, and where these terminated at the river bank, the fine white line ofthe bridge spanning the blue expanse and connecting the nearer features of the landscape with the stately mercantile edifices, and the many Heaven pointed spires of the city of Montreal.N 0 more beautiful scene, nor any more fitting weather could have been chosen for such a spectacle.On the Comniander-in-0bief appearing on the ground he was received with a general salute along the whole line, which then broke into columns.One battery of artillery anda party, of the 60th and the 25th, proceeded to the village.The other battery of artillery took post on the extreme left ofthe ground.The regiments of regulars faced to the right ; and the cadets to the left and marched off.On the south side of the common there are a quantity of low willows forming a margin to the open ground, and alter various evolutions, all the troops except those wno had taken post in the village entered the bush, on the right and left of it, while the stall' plunged into it by a road that traverses it from the common.For a time therefore, the spectacle was over, except for the adventurer who pushed on after the columns.For less active beholders all that was visible was the plumes of the mounted officers, and occasionally the bright glitter of the bayonets as those who carried them moved hither and thither among the scrubby trees.At length after many minutes of anxious expectation, some cadets were seen emerging from the bush on the left of their line in skirmishing order, and these soon spread themselves over the plain, extending themselves towards the river ; but also sweeping in a circuit towards the village.Soona single gun announced that the foe which had been sought in the bush\" bad been fallen in with.The skirmishers on the right had made out the position of the defenders of the village.Not far from the church, on the boundary line between the streets and the village is a group of splendid old willows, conspicuous by the relief of their colour when the wind turns the silvery undersides of their leaves, and shows them thus set off hy the dark masonry beyond.Under their branches the enemy appeared to have taken rest, and from thence, from time to time his artillery\" opened upon the troops now dvancing from the cover.The skirmishers were soon within shot of the enemy, and gradually formed an open line, firing an all convenient occasions as they came up.Then the col.1 in fi\u2014 .IcIjOi.iolioCl open tJ,opoTi, iLrul arter it variety of manœuvres, arranged the themselves mainly in line facing to the East, and having the village in front.When thus formed for the assault, the artillery, with one battalion of ca-qets ; with the 30th and 26th on the right in the same line, and tee rifles on the right a little in advance.Occasionally the whole line would be down as the enemy discharged theie artillery, which was replied to by a brisk fire from the guns of the besiegers on the left.Then one or all the corps would rise and fire a volley, or make a charge, several such charges being understood to be repulsed, and the men to fall back behind their supports.By degrees, however, the whole line advanced frequently ; the artillery fire from both sides being kept up with great heat, till at length the word was given for a general charge.Then all rose ; rushed up and over the embankment of the old railway line ; swept down it on the other side, and with loud cheers broke into the village, which they entered by four cross roads meeting in the square.The excitement among the inhabitants could hardly have been greater if they had been really captured by foreign invaders.However, we heard of no depredations or outrages inconsistent with the strictest observance ofthe most humane of the modern rules of war.Thu enemies troops having retired in disorder, and the civil authorities having arranged, a capitulation with the clement commander of the victorious troops, the latter were magnanimously withdrawn, to avoid any injury either to the property or sensitive feelings of the inhabitants.On their reassembling on the common, they were joined by their bands, and formed mass of columns.They then inarched past in open order ; their respective bands playing them past.The whole then formed into line of contiguous columns ; advanced in review order ; halted, and gave a general salute.His Excy.the Commander in Chief then addressed Major-General Lindsay in highly complimentary terms on the efficiency and conduct of the troops under his command, whose steadiness and precision in all their movements, he said it would be very hard to surpass.The various regiments of regulars then marched back to camp.His Excellency the Commander in Chief then addressed the Cadets, and said that it gave him the greatest possible satisfaction and pleasure to witness the military spectacle which he had seen that day.He had often seen regiments of the line, who did not display the same degree of efficiency as had been manifested by the bri- gade of cadets then on the ground ; and he could not help adding that it was a subject of surprize to see what they had accomplished during the time they had been engaged in learning their drill.No praise could be too great for the patriotic spirit in which they had come forward to fit themselves, if need were, for the service of their country ; and he trusted, now that they were about returnini 1865, signed \u201c W,\u201d related only to family af-fairs.)

while the credit for steadiness in marching was awarded in this order: 1st, the 25th ; 2nd, the Rifles;3rd, the Western Cadets.We confess that to our own untutored eyes, these distinctions were not very visible.Besides the office \u2018 already mentioned, the following members of the staff of General Sir John Michel were on the ground\u2014viz., Colonel Erie, Military Secretory ; Capt.the Hon.J.de Montmorenci, A.D.C.; Colonel Thackwell, Adjutant-General; Col.Dunlop, R.A.; Lt.-Colonel Brunei, commanding- 1st Royals, Toronto Volunteers ; Major G.E.Belle, Paymaster Montreal Volunteer Brigade- and Brigade-Major Mac-pherson.Captain Healey, Brigade-Major, and Captain Pope, Town-Major, were on the staff of Major-General Lindsay ;

her flower song was the gem of the Opera.She sung with much sweetness and grace, and showed herself in everything she did a great artist.Sig.Ta-maro in the role of Faust surpassed himself, he has a sympathetic voice and he sings with so much taste and sweetness that he made himself a great favorite.Susini as Mephistopheles was magnificent, his role is very difficult and requires great power and dramatic talent ; he combines both with an excellent figure, and, though suffering from a cold, sung very finely.Signor Mancusi did very well in the Role of Valentin.The opera asa whole was excellently rendered, ana would have Jess success even in New York.The dresses were new, costly and elegant.The Mis en Scene was as well as it could be expected for so short a preparation.To-day at twelve o\u2019clock the farewell per mance of the Ghioni and Susini\u2019s Opera Company will take place, when Mozart\u2019s immortal Masterwork, Don Giovanni, will bo performed with all the three Prima Donnas in the cast.Mme.Ghioni as Donna Anna, Mme.Strakosch as Donna Elvira, Mile.Cannissa as Zerlina, Signor Tamaro as Don Octavio, Sig, Mancusi Signor Graff as Commaiadatore, Signor Locarm/ as Mazetto.This will be positively the last appearance of these excellent artists, as they leave by this evening\u2019s train for Albany, wlrere they open on Monday evening.T\u2019ckets and seats for the Matinee are for sale at Prince\u2019s Music Store and also at the door, CITY ITEMS, Suicide.\u2014At five o'clock on Thursday evening, Thomas Johnson, chief cook on board the ocean steamer Belgian, committed suicide by 'cutting his throat with a razor.Deceased was a native of England and 36 years of age.The coroner was notified and an inquest was held on board the Belgian.Iu the afternoon the unfortunate man visited the Police Conrt and lodged a complaint against the surgeon of the Belgian, who lie said wished to poison him with what he described as a yellowish poison well known to chemists.As it was evident the man had been drinking hard, he was warned that if he continued he would have delirium tremens.He then appears to have gone te the Central Police Station with a similar tale, of which no notice appears to have been'taken.He then seems to have proceeded on board his ship and committed the fatal act.Police Court.\u2014Yesterday morning, Sophie Girard, a young woman of 26, was charged with stealing a shawl from Mr.B.M.Donagh, and sent to jail for 48 hours.Amelia Girard, for-stealing a pillow coyer, was sent to jail also for 48 hours.Michael McDermott was committed for trial on suspicion of stealing money from James Greer.Tho prisoner Lamb, charged with shooting at Minnie Barrett at the house of Mary Smith, has been committed for trial.We are pleased to learn that the Rev.Dr.Irvine, of Philadelphia, is to preach in St.Gabriel Street Presbyterian Church to-morrow, at eleven o\u2019clock in the forenoon and seven in the evening.The reputation of this eminent preacher is certain to attract crowded cougre-gations.\t_______ COIIHI OF ftlTEESrs BENCH.SEPMBEIt term.(Mr.Justice Mondelet presiding.)

proof would be accepted in the case of a promissory note.Objection overruled.The letters and voluntary examinations were then shown to the Jury for the pu rpose of comparing the signatures.John L

driven by my son.I saw the two Blossoms at my house on the 5th August when they wished to engage a vehicle to take them to St, Martine.I gave them one ; they went alone.They returned with the carriage on the afternoon of the same day.Had no conversation with them.They went away by the boat.On Monday following the two Blossoms came to Delorimier\u2019s house and asked me for a carriage for the same evening.It was understood I was to take them to St.Martine.I saw Blossom next morning at Delorimier\u2019s where he was arrested.The Court then rose.AFTER RECESS, James McBride was sworn\u2014I am manager of the Ottawa (Laflamme\u2019s) hotel at Lachine.Clayton boarded there.He came there on a Saturday, the 29th of July, I think.He stayed there one week.He payed his board on the 5th of August.AVMhi Clayton was boarding there, Adams and Blossom, senior, visited him \u2014twice I think.They were there the morning he went away and went with him.I knew him as Walter Clayton.Charles Godreau sworn\u2014I live at Sault St Louis.I have seen the four prisoners ; I saw them at the Sault about the 20th of July last In July Iasaw Blossom, senisr, and Adams, took them to St.Martine, to a boarding bouse kept by one Caron.Alex.Delorimier sworn\u2014I keep the Caugh nawaga House.I have seen all the prisoners.Adams, who then gave his name as Addison, came about three weeks before the 5th of August.He stayed about an hour.On the Sunday following I saw Blossom, Senior, who gave bis name as Budd or Mud, I do not know which.On the 5th August.I saw the one who gave his name as Addison, and Clayton, and another who is not hero.Clayton stayed over Sunday.Wayne (Blossom, Jr.,) came to the house in a carriage.They all went away except Clayton.Wayne came hack on Monday and stayed there till he was arrested.The whole four were there on Monday about noon.When there on Sunday they hired my canoe for the next week.On Monday the 7th, Clayton went away in the canoe after six o\u2019clock.The boatmen were two Indians.Wayne was arrested in my house.Joseph Tenehate, one of the Indian boatmen knew Clayton.Saw him on the 7 th August Took him ovei from Caughnawaga to Lachine At the wharf at Caughnawaga there was another person with a lantern.Prisoner told witness he would cross back in the canoe with five.Clayton did not return because he was taken prisoner.DeLorimier recalled saifi :\u2014Clayton told him they wanted the boat to smuggle goods.This was the case for the Crown.Mr.Devlin then proceeded to address the court for the defence.As he conceived it to be unnecessary to enter on the discussion of the merits of this case, he would now address him sell to his Honour in the hope that he would be able to satisfy the court that there was no case to go to the j ury, and that the prosecution bad utterly failed.Considering how long the trial had occupied the attention of the jury, lie would proceed at once to state the grounds which he made this application.We all knew that the prisoners stood at the bar indicted for the crime of conspiracy.He read the indictment to the Court so that the position he took might be understood.It set forth that the piisoners, being evil disposad persons, together with others unknown wickedly designed to kid-nap one George N.Saunders with force of arms and did amongst themselves conspire together to forcibly steal and carry away the said George N.Saunders from out of this Province, where lie was then living, \u201c against the will and consent of the said George N.Saunders.\u201d Now be proposed to show by authorities that the evidence of the prosecution had established that the act complained of was not done against his will and consent,, but that on the contrary he was a consenting party to the removal, even to Washington if necessary.The Court\u2014If he took the risk.Mr.Devlin\u2014He consented to take tho risk.He (Mr.D.) contended that the prosecution had negatived the offence, and proved that this conspiracy, if such it could be called, was organized under and carried out at the request of George N.Saunders and John O'Leary.Since the trial commenced, the prosecution had not been proving conspiracy to do a tiling, but had been proving an overt act, that Mr.Saunders was actually kidnapped.Looking at the indictment, he considered that it was the duty of tlie Court to have stopped the trial, and said that the prisoners should not be tried for the over act.The learned counsel here cited authorities to show that to encourage a criminal in the commission of a crime was opposed to true policy.He meant to say that both Saunders and O\u2019Leary were parties to the original crime.The 3rd of August was thé first time Adams saw O\u2019Leary, and it was in evidence that on the same day Mr.Saunders had a communication of the plot from the Chief of Police, so that he was aware of everything that was going on, and was a party to the arrangements.By the Court\u2014To the kidnapping.Mr.Devlin contended that he was a party to the whole affair from the first.He went on to cite from Foster\u2019s Crown Law and other authorities to show that in cases where parties consented to be robbed, &c\u201e for the purpose of Huoumig me onenuers, rlie persons accused of the robbery were discharged.Ife applied the\u2019 authorities to this case, in which a most disgraceful conspiracy had been concocted to subvert our laws and make them subservient to the purposes of Mr, George N.Saunders.Tlie Court\u2014There was no question as to the correctness of the rifling in the cases cited by the learqed counsel, but the question was, were they applicable to this case ?Mr.Devlin maintained that in this case there was a conspiracy to entrap others into tlie commission of a crime, and Saunders being a consenting party, could not look for the conviction of tlie prisoners.Before the tiling was entered into, it was communicated to Mr.Saunders and he was asked his opinion.If it had been proved that all the arrangements had been kept secret from him, and he had only been informed of the fact of the plot being on foot a few hours before it was carried out, there would be reason in saying that it was concocted without his knowledge or consent.But he (Mr.Devlin) took this ground that Mr.Saunders was a consenting party from the outset, Mr.Saunders thought it an excellent opportunity of making himself still more notorious than he now is, and he said, he was prepared to enter into the , plot and assist in carrying it out.When Ids honor came to connect the facts of the case and deal with them lie would see that Saunders knew of all that was to take place.Mr.Saunders had said that he was not a subject of Her Majesty ; that he was a \u201c sovereign citizen\u201d' of the \"United States, Now it would, bp well to see whether it was an offence to kidnap an alien.Mr.Justice Mondelet\u2014I hope it is.Mr.Devlin thought that notwithstanding this opinion authorities might be cited to the contrary.He wont on to read authorities for the purpose of showing that kidnapping meant carrying a person from his own country into another foreign country.The indictment did not say this.The prisoners were not charged with removing Mr.Saunders from ids own country; and could it be pretended that the United States was a foreign country to Mr Saunders when he had declared that ho was à \u201csovereign citizen\u201d of that country ?Where the question of assent arose it should be left to the jury to decide ; it was a matter of fact.His Honor observed that Mr.Devlin had shown great zeal as he always did, on his clients\u2019 behalf, but unfortunately for them tlie judgment of the Court was against 1dm,.Mr.Devlin then proceeded to, address the jury.He would be as brief as possible, He felt that it was unnecessary to enter into the details of the case.He did not conceal from them that he felt a deep interest in this case and he addressed them in the belief that those who stood as prisoners before them had been entrapped into the commission of a crime.He could not conceal from them the fact that living here in Canada as lie did he felt an interest in the character and administration of justice.He felt that this was one of those occasions which the advocate should not allow to pass without denouncing the conduct here exhibited and holding it up to the execration of the public as it deserved.He believed that Saunders was as much entitled to the protection of our laws as any man living amongst us, but he did say at the same time that he was the most costly citizen we had.The question, however, which they had to determine was simply whether the prisoners at the bar entered into the conspiracy to carry off Saunders against Ins will and consent.In order to determine this they must take all the facts as they had been laid before them, and decide whether these facts amounted to tho offence charged in tiie indictment,\u2014 whether in one word Mr.George N.Saunders was a consenting party to this conspiracy, yes or no.If he was an assenting party, then it was their duty to declare the prisoner not guilty.What were the facts ?The detective officer O\u2019Leary, was visited by one of the prisoners for the purpose of obtaining his assistance in apprehending a person named Morris.A proposition originated in reference to Saunders.I hey had it in spite of all O\u2019Leary\u2019s prevarications that Saunders was spoken of.It would be for them to say whether this man Adams an entire stranger to O\u2019Leary, would have gone into O\u2019Leary\u2019s house, andthen and there, to a police officer,;made the proposition which O\u2019Leary told them he did make.No, he never made such a proposition to Leary.O\u2019Leary was as false when he made that statement as he was to his masonic faith it was O\u2019Leary who made tins proposition to abduct Saunders.He was suspended, and he caught at this as a means ofreinstating himself in public favor and in his office.Adams was not a detective officer, and 0\tLeary avaihng himself of his experience as such, led this man on step by step to the com-imssmn of the oftence charged against him Adams might have said a reward was offered and if Saunders was delivered it would be paid\u2019 but as sure as the sun shines it was O\u2019Leary who made the proposition to him.It whnt ° w°aiy \"'ll° commenced the himthit rA-ndu then Adams tolls S- them t\tand he is touted to mèeefthe\u201c,Tt0 0 Leary\u2019s house.But in the Wm r H6 °'.L.eai'y g°es to the Chief and tells 1\t, °, , 6\ta11^ th* t Saunders was to be uc ed.The Chief immediately goes to Saunders and tells him, and he is delighted.It is an excellent opportunity of rescuing his name from oblivion, for of late he had not been much thought of.He availed himself of that opportunity^ aad with a host of admiring friends lie maps out everything for the object of entrapping these men into the commission of a crime in der that he might secure them.The learned Counsel contended that there was evidence here beyond all doubt that Saunders was an assenting party to this plot.They would not deny the prisoners the benefit of this when they had it from Saunders himself that he was made aware of it on the 3rd of August.The prisoners go together to O\u2019Leary on Friday, and then again he, all smiles, assures them that there is not a shadow of a difficulty about effecting the removal of Saunders Coming to Sunday we have three of the prisoners at O\u2019Leary\u2019s house.He brought out liquor and .treated them as his guests ; he said he was shown a masonic diploma which the elder Blossom had with him, and he then went in\tand\tgot his own\tdiploma ; he did not think the other men\twere masons ; it was their duty to prove him.What an infamous falsehood.Not one man in Court believed him when he made the statement.O\u2019Leary violated his masonic pledges, and the jury would appreciate his conduct as it deserved.The mason who was prepared to trample upon the pledge he had taken would trample on any pledge.Eight well did O\u2019Leary know in his heart that he produced that masonic emblem for the purpose of inspiring the men with greater confidence in him.His object was to assure them that they might trust in biother John O\u2019Leary.That was the reason why he exhibited this pledge to them.The jury knew how taithfully he kept his word ; they knew that he sold these men ; they knew it as well as he did.Were they prepared to condemn any man on evidence of such falseness to favor the object of Mr.O\u2019Leary.Although.his statements might be true, nevertheless .they were presented in such a way, he had given so much evidence of falsity that they would say they could put no confidence in John O\u2019Leary.It should not weigh with them.If he were in the jury box he assuredly would not receive the evidence of John O\u2019Leary or of any man who acted as he did.Were they prepared to sanction such an outrage on humanity as these men O\u2019Leary and Saunders had been guilty of ?Were they prepared to sanction the entrapping of their fellow beings into the commission of wrong ?If they were, there was not a man in the community who was safe while we had George Nicholas Saunders and John O\u2019Leary amongst us.He despised such conduct, and he hoped they would not sanction it, because these proceedings were opposed to the laws of humanity ; to the laws of charity, for instead of dragging each other down we ought to lift each other up.As to George Nicholas Saun ders, he was entitled to as much protection at our hands as any of Her Majesty\u2019s subjects ; he would grant that; but he would say that Geo.N.Saunders in this matter did not come into Court with clean hands, and he was not en titled to their consideration.The object of George N.Saunders, as he before said, was to give himself notoriety, to rescue himself from the oblivion in which he had been hurried for some months past.He attained that object, but to do so he resorted to the most disreputable and disgraceful means.He came into Court and claimed protection from the laws, and we answered yes, but we require that you shall not abuse the hospitality offered in the asylum which we have given you ; that you will not in volve in expense the country widch has so Ion: protected you.He, o r others of Ids party, had cost the country something like a million of dol lars ; his object in coming here was to ir_ volve this country in the horror of war, aye, he would be glad to see It in flames it he could but carry out the object which brought him here first.His object was to entrap Canadians into crimes so that the torch of rebellion might have been lighted as it was in his own country But apart from this we found that lie was a con.senting party to this conspiracy.He (Mr.Devlin) had stated certain fact: the learned judge to show that when man consented to do a thing there was i crime.He bad read the first account of the i dictment and what did it say ?That tlie pi souer did this thing against the will of George N.Saunders.Did they do so?He replied that they did not.Before the crime took place at all Saunders was cousulted by the Chief of To lice.They told him that the thing could be done, but not unless he lent himself to the plot.Did lie not say himself that he lent himself to the plot and exposed himself to the risks.After further alluding to Mr.Saunders conduct at the station house, hisjoiniugin the plot,&c,, the learned counsel proceeded to say that if justice was dealt out to the parties who deserved it Saunders and O\u2019Leary would exchange places with the prisoners.He asked the jury whether the prisoners would bo standing ther that day but for these men.They were men who commenced this programme, prepared the real and true conspiracy, prisoners were before them iu the position of strangers who had been betrayed.He did not ask any favor for them, hut he asked the jury to condemn rascality, to set their foot upon a thing of this kind, and once and for all proclaim by their verdict that they were prepared to punish it.Then the boldness and audacity of these men, in coming into court with their dirty hands to ask for a conviction against those Whom they had entrapped ! In conclusion, lie left the case in their hands, confident that the learned Judge would see that the protection due to these men was extended to them.Mr.Devlin then wished to submit a certificate from the leading men of Auburn, as to the character of the prisoners, but the Court would not accept it us evidence, Air.T, K.Ramsay then proceeded to reply on behalf oi the Crown, Tlie defence was just what he expected it to be, but lie was not prepared when he entered tlie court to find the learned counsel for tho defence coming forward to pledge himself to the truth of a story for which he had no evidence except the assertion of one of the prisoners, who had every reason to misrepresent what took place against a man who stood here in the box and answered through a very long examination and severe cross-examination without one word of prevarication.He had never heard a defence which so well deserved to be characterised as unjust in tlie extreme as that which was heard to-day.) and Fae- Glasgow.30s per ton gross.40s\t\u201c\t\u201c 50s\t\u201c\t\u201c 6s per quarter, 4801bs Cheese.\u2014Prime Dairy I0c to lOj tory 11c to lljc.Freights per Steamer : Liverpool.Ashes, Pots.30s.Pearls___40s.Provisions.50s.Grain.6s.3d.Financial.\u2014Sterling Exchange firm.Bank, 60-day\u2019s on London, 9j to 10 prem.for cash ;

that the statement that Adams did not prove himself a mason, and that it was ids duty to have done so was an infamous falsehood.For his (Mr.R\u2019s) part he had no hesitation iu saying that it was true \u2022 that O\u2019Leary did say so.The plot of the prisoners was revealed in the letters read that day, which showed that it was commenced long before Adams saw O\u2019Leary.Ho went on to say that he was informed that there was no rule in masonry which prohibited a detective officer from laying a plan to arrest men who had made arrangements to commit crime.O\u2019Leary, from his experience, knew perfectly well when the subject was first broached to him, that something was wrong, and he was perfectly justified in getting from these men their plans of operation.Hu took the means best adapted to secure tlie prisoners.If he was the disreputable character pretended, he would have taken the bribe and gone to the States, hut lie was not a map tp he bought.He (Mr.R.) considered the evidence a perfect justification of u\u2019Leary.It being now five o\u2019clock, Mr.Ramsay was obliged to break off in his remarks, and the Court was adjourned until ten on Saturday.SiPECX-A-L INTOTICLEIS.The plan of (lie valuable property belonging the Molsons Bank, corner of Notre Dame Street and St.Peter Street, will be ready for inspection on Monday morning at Mr, Arnton\u2019s office.On reference to the advertisement, it will be seen that the building on Great St.James street, presentlyoccupied by the Bank, has been withdrawn, the same having been sold by private contract.The annual sale of Bulbous Roots takes place this morning at Mr.Arnton\u2019s auction rooms at ten o\u2019clock, when will be sold the usual varied assortment.Nothing is so beautiful in the drawing-room in winter as these magnificent flowering roots ;
