for Colouring the Hair and restoring the same to its natural appearance, was patented in the United States several years ago, since which period there has existed for it, m the UnitedStates and England,an unprecedented demand, and is now almost universally used by all requiring the use of Hair Restoratives.The simplicity and harmless ingredients used in the preparation of this article, the easy and simple mode of application, nothing except a small brush being necessary for that purpose; the natural appearance of the Hair after the application of the Tint, the duration of the application, and the reasonable rate at which the article is sold, are a few of the causes which have followed the introduction of the hair tint n the leading Cities of England and America.A TRIAL of the MYSTIC HAIR TINT will suffice to insure all who use it once to continue to use the article.For sale by WM.BOGLE, Boston, and al Chemists and Druggists in Montreal.September x\t208 OO^YL OIL FOR

for the payment of interest, whose omission from the account will have created a surplus in the last half year of 1865, will come into the books and so be added to the legitimate charges 6 the first half year of 1866.Here a deficit begins from the moment thé' Brown Ministry ends.Of course we do not say that this is the explanation of the surplus.We merely guess at it as one of the possible modes of creating what is an obvious ly erroneous statement.We must add that we do not suppose our contemporary has had anything to do with preparing the figures, however well they may chance hereafter to suit his book, or that when he wrote on the subject he had any notion of their special adaptability.Fenian Literature.\u2014We have a fresh batch of this rather frothy literature, in which Presidents, Generals, Secretaries of War, of the Treasury, and all the rest of it figure at their own sweet wills, just as in certain institutions, people are Popes, Emperors, Kings and Queens, as their fancies may prompt them.Seriously to write or even reprint any of this nonsense about the decrees of Senates, with no power beyond a first floor, or sentences of Court Martials, who cannot even lock up a convicted culprit, has looked to us very much like the humouring of the nonsense\u2014for which we have not felt any vocation.We may, nevertheless, devote a little space to the opinions of Mr.\u201cPresident\u201d Stephens, who we may add en passant, is stated by the New York Tribune to have been within a few miles of the Jail from which he made his es cape ever since that event took place.Stephens lias addressed \u201cdespatches\u201d to the headquarters in New York.He therein admits a misunderstanding between himself and Colonel O\u2019Mahoney ; but this he says, was only because of the \u201cdrag chain\u201d policy of the latter.On this account he has written thinga which he feels must have hurt the O\u2019Mahoney \u201cmost keenly.\u201d For these injuries he, however, now asks forgiveness\u2014but only because O\u2019Mahoney has now\tentered\u2014 \u201c albeit very late\u2014on the only path of salvation for our land and race.\u201d He thought everything ruined before lie made his escape.Now he has by that escape \u201c obtained such marvellous strength for our work,\u201d that he can keep the forces together for some time longer.But speedy action is still necessary ; delays are dangerous and he cannot resist \u201c the strain of time.\u201d Mr.President Stephens then goes into some criticisms on distinguished Fenians, with whom he has been put into communication.Of one P.J.Meehan, he says that his advent to the country, \u201c was an insult to our reason, manhood and patriotism yet wishing to work harmoniously, he \u201cput a curb upon his temper in piesence of \u201c this shallow knave, and even risked his re-\u201cputation in order to set him fairly with his \u201c(Stephens) friends.\u201d Then he is grieved to hear that one Mr.Michael Scanlan \u201c is in the ranks of cowardice and treason and Scanlan, who is now to be lashed out of the brotherhood, sent over some good men, but also some who, Stephens says, were :\u2014\u201cOf so vile a \u201ckind that, at their first interview with me, \u201cthey, in confidence, accused-each other of \u201c robbery and I know not what 1 It may be \u201cthat such scoundrels would fight; but, till \u201cwe are actually\u2019 in the field, fellows of this \u201c stamp would be a standing shame and \u201c danger to us.\u201d Respecting such persons he advises :\u2014\u201c Cut and hack the rotten branches \u201caround you on all sides and without pity.\u201c This can be done safely at your side, be-\u201c cause the stag is harmless there.\u201d » » * The letter concludes by\u2019 conferring on Colonel O\u2019Mahoney in America, Canada, &c., the high dignity\u2019 of holding \u201c the absolute and un-\u201c questionable authority of Representative \u201c and Financial Agent of the Irish Republic,\u201d Then follows a proclamation, in which motives are given for the above appointment, from which it will be seen that this country is safe yet.These motives are, that President Stephens had become aware \u201cthat certain \u201cmembers of the Fenian Brotherhood, and \u201cnotoriously the \u201cSenate\u201d of that Assoeia-\u201ction, have madly and traitorously,, moved \u201c to a mad and traitorous end, raised the cry \u201c of \u2018 to Canada 1\u2019 instead of the cry of \u201cto \u201c Ireland ;\u201d and aware that John O'Mahony, \u201cknown as Head Center and President of the \u201cFenian Brotherhood, has wisely and firmly\u2019, \u201cas in duty bound, opposed this mad and \u201c traitorous diversion from the right path\u2014 \u201c the only path that could possibly serve our \u201ccountry and our race.\u201d As some of our American exchanges further infoim us, that President Stephens\u2019 policy is, first to republi-canize Ireland and only conquer Canada afterwards, we fancy ihe latter event is postponed to a distant day.POLITIC» OF EUROPE.BrussteJs Correspondence of tire îïoEïreaî Herald.Surplus,.$ 111,240 Large as is the revenue from the Customs during the past six months, it is not so large as that during the corresponding period of 1864, when it was $3,589,200.The revenue f om excise during the year 1865 has been considerably larger than ever before.During the first six months it was $795,950 ; during the last, $694,202.48; or altogether, $1.480,-152.48.There is something very remarkable in this exhibit, which we hope may turn out to be exactly as it is represented ; but we confess our doubts.We have a large surplus made out on the half year, and yet there is a confession that the revenue on that period was more than $lO0,000 less than on the corresponding period of 1864, when the surplus is admitted to have been very trifling.Whence then this large increase of surplus on a decaying revenue ?If we take the Globe\u2019s figures the answer is easy.The expenditure has fallen off by $1,208,000.That is to say the expenditure of the government was in the last half y-ear of 1864 twenty-five per cent higher than in the last six months of 1865 ! The mere statement is sufficient to show that there is here some tremendous error, as no one who knows anything of the items which make up Revenue and Expenditure of the Province.¦The Audit o ffice authorizes the publishing of the following statement of revenue and expenditure of this Province for the half-year ending 31st December last :\u2014Revenue\u2014Customs, $3,476,243 66; Excise, $694,202 48 ;Post Office, $246,274 29 ;Crown Lands Department, $461,401 50 ; Bill stamp duty, $4Î,890 74 ; and miscellaneous, $633,795 99.Total, $5,585,-898 66.The expenditure was $4,387,672 23.Gaspe Lead Mining Company.\u2014A prospectus of this Company appears to-day in our columns to which we desire to call attention.The proprietors believe that they have a valuable property, and persons who are willing to invest have the security of the personal respectability of those who are putting the stock on the market.We are requested by Col.Fane to state that the next rehearsal for the Crystal Palace Concert of the 22nd, will take place at Nordheim-ers\u2019 Hall tiiis evening, at 8 p.m.Instrumental performers only required to attend.The final rehearsal will take place at the same hour and place on Thursday, when all performers, instrumental and vocal, are particularly requested to attend.The Maitland Distillery Case.\u2014It is stated that a new trial will be had in this case at the Spring Assizes.Brussels, Dec.29, 1865.The students of the Paris University still keep aloof from the lectures, and the professors are wasting their sweetness on the desert air, for the late rigolons measures taken by the authorities are not likely to allay the feeling of discontent now prevalent in the quartier latin.The lectures were resumed on the 22nd, but the noise and tumult amongst the assistants was so great that it was impossible for the lecturer to be heard, and the consequence was that the police had to be called in, when several students were arrested.One of the professors so far forgot himself as to lay hands on one of the delinquents, which only served to increase the irritation.More than forty scholars have been brought up before the Magistrate and sentenced to pay a fine for resisting the police officers in the execution of their duty.On the 23rd an agent of the police was placed at the door of the Amphitheatre, and every student on entering was required to shew his card of inscription, and had to answer the following question :\u2014Have you come to hear the lecture, or to protest ?The names of those were taken down who answered \u201cto protest,\u201d and their friends were written to with the desire, of the University authorities, that the young gentlemen might he called home for having taken a part in the disturbances.As the irritation only increased, the clasess were closed until the 28th, and the council of public instruction confirmed the sentence expelling for ever from the Academy of Paris those students who were present, and made seditious speeches at the students Congress at Liege.The character of these young men is thus ruined, and solely for a few foolish words uttered in a moment of excitement.Have we returned to the time of the Inquisition ?France has much changed since the time of Voltaire and Diderot, The government is now putting into practice the doctrines of Father Hyacinthe, (who is now preaching at Notre Dame) who in a sermon a few days ago said : \u201cCan a man be a man twho has not God with him ?that man cannot be governed ; he must be stoned to death, for it is he that leads society to its destruction.\u201d Monsieur Duruy, the minister of Public Instruction, seems to side with Father Hyacinthe, for if he does not stone the students to death he deprives them of their degree and prevents them following their professions and getting a livelihood.The schools re-opened yesterday.About 40 law students entered, but the faculty of medicine were almost all absent- It would be well if the students were to protest era masse against the unjust and odious persecution of which their comrades have been the object.The minister of Public Instruction has carried out the orders of the Government with the utmost severity, which has been the cause of the resignation of the Dean of the faculty, M.Tardien, who was desirous of acting leniently towards the delinquents.I believe the following to he the facts of the case: Monsieur Duruy, Minister of Public Instruction, went early on the morning of the 22nd to the school of medicine, and there prescribed most energetic measures, which he ordered to be printed and posted on the walls of the University.M.Tardien, Dean of the Faculty, arrived shortly after, and being of opinion that the orders of the Minister of Instruction were calculated to excite violent agitation, gave directions that they should not be put into execution until he had taken the advice of his fellow professors.He called them together, and whilst they were consulting a peremptory order came from the Minister of Public Instruction for them to separate, which was soon followed by a letter blaming the Dean\u2019s conduct.M.Tardien then sent in his resignation which was immediately accepted.If we are to believe current reports, the government intends to take general measures in order to prevent any future disturbances similar to those that have occurred.The schools, it is thought, will be closed for a time, or transferred to some Provincial town of the empire, and Only a fixed number of medical students will be admitted to the Faculty of Paris.M.Fould has given in liis finance report of which the following is the resume.The total deficit of 1864, as at present shown, is nearly fifty millions.Notwithstanding several mispalculations, it is hoped the Budget of 1865 will result in a balance.The corrected Budget of 1866 cannot yet be presented, but it is believed that it will be inferior to those of past years.A project for a new organization of the Sinking Fund has been presented to the Council, which will allow of a redemption of the Public Debt to the extent of thirty millions.The economy effected will be to the amount of twenty-six millions and a half.These measures will enable the Budget of 1867 to be balanced with an overplus of ninety-two millions, ninety of which will be applied to the extraordinary Budget of 1867, which, with twenty-five millions of the Mexican Indemnity, and the payment of the Algerian Company, will increase the total to one hundred and thirty-five millions.The floating debt is seven hundred and seventy-two millions.Amongst other contemplated economical measures is the diminution of several fortified towns, the keeping up of which is very expensive.The sale of artillery, &c., and other arms would realize a sum of fifty millions.It is rumoured that the Emperor and his cousin, Prince Napoleon, are again on the best of terms.His Imperial Highness will soon resume his post of President of the International Exhibition of 1867.The report concludes by declaring that thanks to the wise and pacific policy of the Emperor, the country can reckon upon the increase of its prosperity and the development of its resources.The Government has not limited its prosecutions to the unruly members of the University.The press is daily hampered.The \u201c Indep-nd-ance Beige\" published in Brussels, has just been prohibited in France, and it is now likely that foreign papers will be subjected to the same laws as those of the Empire, which, after two warnings, are entirely suspended.An edition of the Bible with notes, by Proudhon, has just been seized, and Father Hyacinthe will, no doubt, rub his hands with delight.He will not fail to sing the praises of the Imperial Regime in his next sermon to the faithful at Notre Dame.The Dramatic Censor, too, has prohibited the performance of a play entitled \u201c Malheur aux Vauriens,\u201d by Barrière.It is of the most innocent description, but it appears the subject of the piece has given offence in high quarters, as it is said to recall the misfortunes of the first Empire.The author has protested against the decision of the Censor, but to no purpose.He has sent the following to the press : Sir,\u2014I have written a play entitled Malheur aux Vauriens, in which I speak of fidelity, virtue and honor.But nothing but \u201c actualities\u201d are now allowed on the stage.The play has been prohibited, which I think it my duty to inform you.Your obd\u2019t Theodore Barriers.The success this letter has met with will amply repay the author for the prohibition of his piece.The Cortes were opened on the 29th.The tenor of the Queen\u2019s speech smacks of the embarrassment of the Court of Madrid.It speaks of the pacific intentions of the Cabinet, but since the expedition of St.Domingo and Peru, we may be allowed to doubt the sincerity of the government.\u201c My desires for peace\u201d says the Queen \u201c were not sufficient to prevent hostilities between Spain and Chili the government will lay before the Cortes all documents relative te the differences between these countries.\u201d Three frigates have been sent to the Pacific to reinforce the squadron of Admiral Parya which does not much look like a desire for peace on the part of Isabella II.O\u2019Donnell is certain of a majority in the Cortes, for the very simple reason, that there is no opposition.The clerical party has received counter orders from Rome.The Pope has made it up with the Queen and the celebrated Father Claret has brought her the absolution ofPio Nono.Italy is still in a very unsettled state.La-marmora, has not yet been able to form a ministry, for the members of the Italian chamber are very hostile to the premier since he tried to frighten them with a dissolution of the Chambers.The Emperor of Austria flatters himself that he has regained the affection of the Magyars, for the Hungarians have received him with such enthusiasm that it would appear as if all were forgiven and forgotten.According to the vote of the Diet of Clausen-bourg, Transylvania will be joined to Hungary.A minority of Boumains and.Saxons protested in vain against this measure.There will be greater difficulty with respect to Croatia Esclavonia, and Dalmatia for these countries have never agreed to the laws of 1848 which had been accepted by Transi vania.It will be no easy work To do away with all the animosities between these different provinces.No stone will be left unturned to bring about a reconciliation.In England the electoral movement seems to be making great strides, under the direction of Bright, and there is no doubt but that next parliament will seriously debate the question of enlargement of the franchise.It is hoped in France that the venerable Queen of the French, Marie Amelie, will be allowed to end her days in peace at Claremount, notwithstanding the death of the King of the Belgians, for the Queen of England is desirous that parliament will allow her to make an exchange and give her Claremount for some other royal domaine which she would cede to the country.There is no doubt but that Parliament will hasten to comply with the wishes of the Queen.Let it be said to the glory of England that it is an asylum for the exile, and that Napoleon III would gladly rob it of this privilege as will he seen by the new law of extradition which the French government is desirous that Eng- land should subscribe to.The J?airie.and other papers would wish to show that it is not an alteration of the existing law that is desired, but a reform of the same.We must hope that the English Parliament will not allow itself to be duped by the_ subtle arguments of the French Cabinet and dishonor itself in obeying the commands of Napoleon m.\tUN FRANÇAIS.gay ing ROYALS\u2019 MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT AND BiLL IN THE CITY HALL.The non-commissioned officers of the « Royals\u201d last night gave an entertainment and Ball, which went off most successfully.The City Hall presented a very gay and animated scene, the various uniforms of the Volunteers, the royal red, rifle green, artillery blue, and the.dresses of the ladies quite throw-the civilians into the shade The walls were hung with flags, bayonets arranged as stars figuring at intervals, and conspicuously facing the platform was the Corporation cup won by the Royals, they being successful competitors with the rifle two years in succession.A large number of invited guests were present, conspicuous on the platform by their want of uniforms being the Mayor, the Hon.T.Darcy McGee, the Hon.John Rose, John Lewis, Esq., O.J.Brydges, Esq.In uniform were : Colonel Fane, of the 25th, K.O.B.; Colonel McDougall, Adjutant-General of Militia; Colonel Dyde, Lieur.-Col.David, Lieut.-Colonel McPherson, Lieut.-Col.Lyman, Assistant Quarter-Master General ; Lieut.-Col.W.Osborne Smith, Capt.Dyde, A.D.C.; Major Stevenson, Captain Handyside, Lieut.Beaudry, Lieut.Tait, Ensign -Pangman, Ensign C.D.Rose, Comet Cunningham, Capt.Brydges, and Lieut.Esdale, of the High School Cadet Corps, and a number of Lady Alexander Russels-Cadet Corps.The officers of the Royals being : Lt.-Uol.Routh, Major Grant, Captains Scott, Kirby, A.F.McPherson, H.Lyman, J.L.Mathieson, F.McKenzie, J.H.Routh, Lieutenants Dawson, McKenzie, Esdale, Howard, and Ensigns McDougall, Leach, and Major.There were also a number of ladies on the platform and altogether there could not have been fewer present than 1500.Shortly before nine the chairman, Col.Routh, and the invited guests, marched into the Hall the band playing, \u201c The Blue Bells of Scotland\u201d March, and having promenaded the room, they took their seats on the platform.Lieut.-Col.ROUTH said that this entertainment was given by the non-commissioned officers of the Royals, who had prepared a capital programme for the evening\u2019s proceedings.He hoped and was sure that those present would not fail to enjoy themselves.The Hon.Mr.McGee, who was present, would address them, and there was, therefore, the less need for him to detain them with lengthened remarks.The Hon.Mr.McGEE said that it was a regimental rule that orders must be obeyed.On two former occasions of this kind to which he had been invited he had been unable to attend, but he was exceedingly happy to meet with them to-night.They could all remember the time when they had a volunteer and militia force on paper in Canada, but it was only -within a recent period it had become a reality.It dates from the Trent affair, about four years ago, when Colonel Routh offered his services with those of 440 of what, he would venture to say, were the flower of the city of Montreal, who had placed themselves at his disposal.(Cheers.) It was a marked period, and none would forget the promptitude and zeal with which he had come forward nor the equal promptitude and zeal with which he had been seconded by both officers and men.(Cheers.) The excitement caused by the Trent affair died away, but not so their organization.Other causes to awake the country followed, and there was every reason for congratulation that there was no longer a paper force, but a reality, and every year sees more and more interest, both locally and provincial!)\u2019, manifested in its progress.He remembered very well ihe pacitic prizes the Royals had gained as marksmen, and especially the high complimentjpaid them in 1862 by an amiable and dignined lady when she presented them with a set of colours.(Cheers.) The Mayor and corporation had good cause to remember that they won the Corporation Cup, having been successful two years running, and he hoped that, having recovered that, they were now in a position to afford to purchase another for competition.(Laughter ann cheers) To every thoughtful man who sees the long files and military ranks which sometimes pass along our streets, the vision will come of a day when your ranks may be decimated and many a space may be seen, once filled up with a noble and gallant hearted man, but now empty, when worn and thinned the ranks may not look so picturesque to the eye, but to the mind how much more so will they be, telling a tale of courage and bravery in defence of country.It was to be hoped that the prayer of the Liturgy might be realised.Bend peace in our time, G ood Lord.There was no disposition to follow anything in Canada, tut pacific measures Their organization was Defence and not Defiance.It was an obligation on every good citizen to die in defence of his country, and no death could be more glorious, than that of one who dies in a justifiable war.(Cheers.) Scripture itself gives authority for this, for no man, according to Scripture laws, could be punished who killed thé thief in the act.What tine f could deserve a severer, a more disgracelul punishment than the one who causelessly and unprovoked levied upon a neighbour a war of aggression.Did not an old but great author, Tertullian, lay down the rule they should follow ; In hostem patrioe omnes homo, miles est, and in this spirit they should resolve not to carry on aggression, not to defy others, but to defend their old flag and their glorious \u2019institutions.(Great cheers.) He must confess that the volunteers and militia had not been regarded either by the public or by politicians with that degree of importance which they should have been.There was a growing importance attached to them, but it was not yet satisfactory.He had one consolation that he hail always voted for ihe support of the militia (hear, hear) in that respect only following the lead of his friend, Major John Rose.(Cheers.) They had no doubt had sad grievances and complaints against their faultless Corporation, and even against the best Government that ever existed, that to which he belonged.(Laughter.) He knew that the Minister of Militia had large and comprehensive views with respect to the military organisation of the Province, and if the grievances of which they had to complain were not removed it was simply because that was beyond his reach.He had thewill but not always the power.He hoped that their remonstrances would not be repressed but on the contrary urged more strongly.Some of their grievances were already redressed, he trusted they would be successful in having the others removed.This importance was daily increasing both in the public and official mind, they had the smiles of the ladies, for to them it was evident that on these strong arms they could depend to preserve the honour of the country and the honour of its women too.All hearts, then, must be made up, and all the means expended to satisfy the fullest requirements of the militia and the country.(Lond cheers.) Mr.Rickaby then sung \u201c God Save the Queen,\u201d those present joining in with thrilling effect.The Hon.Mr.ROSE, who on rising was received with cheers, said : I am afraid there are a great many among you to whom a personal introduction is necessary ; for though attention to military duty is imperative, the command of the Doctor and the discipline enforced by him are not less imperious.It is nearly a year since I had the pleasure of meeting you, and I am rejoiced to think that during that interval the corps has lost none of its former reputation, but, on the contrary, has increased in number, efficiency and character.(Hear, hear.) It is not the least gratifying feature in the year\u2019s annals\u2014 and one of which you may well be proud\u2014 that as marksmen the Royals have proved themselves superior to any regiment in Her Majesty\u2019s service.(Cheers.) The contest between you and the 60th Rifles\u2014which, I believe, stands at the head of the list in the army\u2014 was most creditable to both, and the result such as has made you the envy of many a rifleman.It is true that during the year you have had some difficulties to contend with, but what in this world is worth having that is not attended with obstacles to achieve it.Still, on the whole, we have no great reason to complain.The clothing questionnas been settled ; the pay questioned- set-tled'and many other little matters have been disposed of.We must remember that there is no one man power in a free government ; that there is a Minister who has to provide the ways and means, not always an easy task ; and another who is responsible for the way they are spent, and there are plenty of critics on both sides of the house to complain of anything that is amiss.I have often had occasion to find fault with former Governments, and the present Government too, but we must not forget that no Ministry can go farther than public opinion will sustain them in going.As citizens we have our work to create, and we ought to try to create a healthy state of public opinion.Having said so much on behalf of the Government, I must put in a plea on the part of the Volunteers.I mean specially those of Montreal, who are now and then said to be some wbat exacting.Well, this is true in one sense, but not in another.The force here is a sort of representative body ; it is more numerous\u2014I won\u2019t say better disciplined, for that would not be true\u2014but it is very earnest, active, and central ; it feels the wants of the force generally, perhaps sooner and more intensely than where the numbers are fewer and the organization is less perfect.In giving expression to those wants it does so not in its owm interest alone, but in that of every Volunteer in the Province who profits by our appeals or our importunity, if wo_ like to call it so.We are in fact employed to pull the chesnuts out of the fire for the whole Province.I must say, that this eonsidei-ation has not been properly weighed, for I don\u2019t think honestly that we are open to the charge of being more exacting than our neighbours.And this brings me to think of what, ou the whole, Canada has done within the last few years.Look at the hold which the idea and doctrine of self-defence now has on the country.There is scarcely a village, or parish, or town- ship which has not its rifle corps.Look at the organization of the Militia proper\u2014look at what the Military Schools have been doing\u2014the numbers of qualified officers they are turning out and the evidence of which we had at the Laprairie Camp.Look at the meetings fortar-get practice that now take place all over the country and the creditable marking which is made.Remember that all these things exercise a wholesome influence in every hole and coiner of the country ; that the young man from the military school creates an emulation in his district ; that one Rifle Association leads to the formation of another which strives the more to excel it.As a proof of this, I may mention that I had a letter to-day from an old friend in Huntingdon\u2014Colonel Reid\u2014who tells me that there are no less than 605 men, exclusive of officers, in their Frontier Rifle Association I say then, without any fear of contradiction, that the people of no country that I know of, and with such diffrculties to contend against, ever did so much, in so short a time, to qualify themselves for their own defence.And I am happy to say that there is a more appreciative feeling, on the part of the rest of the community, towards the Volunteer.I had lately a very good opportunity of noticing this in trying to get .the co-operation of employers in the Saturday afternoon movement ; and I found many who once looked on volunteering as an idle, if nota viciotis pastime, now estimate and .applaud it, and admit that its promotion is a paramount duty, both on their own part and that of the Government.But there is one thing I must mention before I conclude, and I want the co-operation and influence of every man and woman that hears me, and of every one in this community to help me, and to bring their views to bear on the Government, We all know the.discussions which have taken place about The erection of defensive works.For my part, I believe such works are indispensable to enable us to protect our country, and to prevent the utter sacrifice of the brave men who have prepared to oiler up their lives in its defence.But there has been a cry\u2014no works of defence\u2014they are a menace to our neighbours\u2014they will cost money, and we have no present reason to fear invasion.To call them a menace is a simple absurdity.Is it a menace on the part of our neighbours that they have made the channel to New York impregnable by works on \u2018¦'taten Island?Are the Forts in Portland a menace ?Is that at Rouse's Point a menace ?I might go over every place of importance along their borders and find works intended to resist aggression.There is no man who feels more strongly the importance of cultivating the most friendly and cordial relations towards the United States than I do, of avoiding every cause of offence, of making every concession consistent with honour to avert difficulty.I wish for the freest intercourse with them, as unrestricted and cordial and kindly as if we were one people.Lèt us trade with them, have the warmest and kindliest social intercourse with them, intermarry with them, (and let me tell the bachelors here in confidence that they might go farther and fare worse), but for all that let our neighbours plainly understand that as we were born so will we die under the British flag and our own time-honoured institutions; that we will defend them and teach our children to defend them with all their substance and with their blood.(Cheers ) Now I have no fears about invasion just now, and I pray it may never come ; but who can tell ?and is it wise for any people to be dependent altogether on the mercy and forbearance of their neighbours, or rath er ought they not to rely on their own manhood and powers of defence ?I say no free country should be so dependent; weakness tempts aggression.But we are told the expense of these works is beyond our means.Have those who say this considered the cost of intrenched positions sufficient for an emergency ?Let me just quote three words of a competent authority, who says that the basis of all reasoning on the defence of Canada must be that the defen-ders must not he a manoeuvring force, but must fight behind entrenchments.This officer thinks five entrenched camps sufficient, and the cost is estimated at £50,000 each, or £250,000 in all.I do not, of course, urge that the government should at once enter on a complete s) stem of permanent works; but they should do enough to meet the first emergency, and to provide rallying places for the militia of the country.If that can be done for a million of dollars, it is money ivell spent, and I hope public opinion will soon warrant their undertaking then), You, as citizens, have your influence in directing public affairs, and though I have been very reluctant to detain you so long from more festive occupations, I hope you will not consider these obserxations altogether inopportune.In conclusion, let me wish you and all belonging to you every prosperity and happiness; and may our duties as citizen soldiers be long subordinate tq those of peaceful indqstry.(Cheers.) The whole affair, as we have already said, was most successful.The arrangements were well carried out under the management of a committee of the non-commissioned officers, which was subdivided so that nothing might be left uncared for.The following were the Managing Committees :\u2014 Dancing.\u2014Col.Sergt.Bturrie.- Chairman.Sergt.Dunn, Sergt.Craig, Col.-Sergt.Sten-house, Sergt.Lawrie, Sergt.Coyle, Sergt.Garven.Music and Decoration.\u2014Sergt-Major Muir-head, Col.-Sergt.Barrie, Col.-Sergt.Verner.Clothing.\u2014Sergt.Dixon, Sergt.Farrell, Corporal Foster.Reception.\u2014Col.-Sergt.Turner, Col.-Sergt, Howden, Sergt.McAdam.Refreshments.\u2014Sergt.Fyfe, Corporal Sharp, Sergt.Smith, Sergt.Guest, Corporal McMinn, The band of the 25th K.O.B\u2019s is too well known in Montreal to require it to be said that they did their part admirably, and Sergeant Rickaby added to the attractions of the musical part of the entertainment by his songs.After the programme the floor was soon filled by a crowd of dancers, and to the witching strains of the band, the dancing was kept up with unabated vigour, until an early hour.ADDITIONAL SUBSCRIPTIONS IN AID OF

spell we had to chronicle the picking up of horses, sleighs and their appurtenances in all quarters of the town.The police have been busy at the same work during this snap, a good many horses and sleighs having been consigned to the pound for protection until claimed by the owners, who, although not bankrupts, will have to pay so much to the pound before getting a settlement, to enable them to carry on the business of sleigh driving again.Audacious Robbery.\u2014On Monday, about two in the afternoon, Bridget Hannan called at the store of Messrs.Green & Sons, wholesale furriers, asking for some imitation fur.Not being retailers they could not supply her and she left.A couple of minutes after a valuable fur coat was missed, and Bridget was pursued, but was already out of sight.Word was immediately sent to the Police office, and shortly after Mr.Silverstone, the Pawnbroker, gave information that a woman had offered a fur coat for $10 at his establishment, which he suspected to be stolen, as it was much more valuable than that.The coat and woman being identified were taken to the Police office, and yesterday she confessed her guilt.The theft was a most daring one, and the woman is of a quiet respectable appearance, not like one who would be guilty of such a crime, and therefore the more dangerous.The Water Supply.\u2014It is much to be feared that the supply of water will still further be restricted for some time.For the last few days the reservoir has been becoming lower, and it will only be by the most rigid saving in the supply that the deficiency can be made up.Captire of a Receiver.\u2014Noel Bluteau, for whom the Police have been in search for nearly two months,*on a charge of receiving stolen goods, was yesterday arrested in a house of ill fame.Fire at the Tanneries.\u2014Yesterday morning about half past one the tavern and grocery, at Tannery des Rolland, occupied by Mr.Hughes, tavern-keeper, was discovered to be on fire.The brigade were soon on the spot, but there was no supply of water, the locality being outside the city limits.It was, therefore, quite impossible to save the tavern or.its contents, all of which were completely destroyed.The house is detached from the others, but one standing near was only saved by tearing out the end.The stock was insured, but we have not ascertained whether the house, which is the property of Mr.Louis Uhampeau, St.Antoine street, is insured or not.Death from Railway Accident.\u2014The engine driver, Wakefield, whose legs were crushed by a locomotive at Point St.Charles last week, has, we regret to learn, died from the result of his injuries.He appeared to bear the amputation of his leg well at first, but delirium came on, and mortification of the wounded limbs took place and he rapidly sunk.A Coroner\u2019s inquest was held at the Hospital, the verdict returned being \u201c Accidental Death.\u201d He leaves behind him a widow and six children.Frost Bitten.\u2014A labouring man was on Monday afternoon brought to the General Hospital suffering from a very severe frost bite on his foot.The great toe was so seriously frozen that it will require to be amputated.The same evening one of the volunteers returning from drill nearly lost his ear, but remedies being promptly applied there is little doubt of its being saved.A little longer exposure would have rendered this hopeless.Police Court.\u2014Jean Bte.Lapierre and Guillaume Perrault, were brought up for robbing Thomas Kerr of a sum of $340.The only evidence against the prisoners is that of Kerr\u2019s wife, and it is not at all clear.Kerr and his wife had been at the country on Sunday last.On their return in tire evening, the evidence shews that he was drunk and his wife was nearly frozen.The two prisoners were passing and assisted to get them both into their house and while doing so, Mrs.Kerr alleges, they robbed him.This they deny and nothing has been found to criminate them.They have been remanded to give time for further examination.Last night two men named Robert Nery and George Kelly, were apprehended on suspicion of being the real culprits.They were taken to the Central Police Station, and will be brought before the Police Magistrate this morning.Bridget Hannon, for stealing a fur coat, was sentenced to six months imprisonment.Recorder\u2019s Court.\u2014Denis Lynch was fined $1 for furious driving.F.X.Beauchamp drunk in St.Bridget\u2019s Asylum $1.Bridget Delany, who requested to be aommitted, was not accommodated with public board.The\" number of cases was only nine.Diocesan Church Society of Montreal.\u2014 The annual meeting of the Mission Board of this Society was held yesterday at noon, His Lordship the Metropolitan presiding.The Board has now been fully organized, and the report of the Committee regulating its proceedings was taken into consideration aud adopted with some alterations.The annual sermon was preached in the evening in Christ Church Cathedral by the Rev.Dr.Balch, Secretary of the United States House of Bishops.The annual public meeting of the Society will be held in the Mechanics Hall this evening at seven o\u2019clock.A number of clergymen will give addresses.Literary Club.\u2014Mr.T.D.King read a very interesting paper on \u201cA Thermometer\u201d before the club on Monday evening, Rev.Dr.DeSola, Vice-President, occupying the chair.After the paper, some discussion ensued, in which Dr.Smallwood, Dr.DeSola and Mr.King took part, a hope being expressed that the study of meteorology might be advanced among us, and the observatory at the University made more generally useful by the students being induced to make observations, and access to it being afforded to amateurs skilled in the use of the instruments.A vote of thanks was unanimously accorded to Mr.King for his paper.VOLUNTEER MILITIA ORDER.The following order will take the place of the general orders of the 27th Oct.1865, and No.3 of the 22nd Dec.1865, which are hereby cancelled : - With reference to General Order.6, of the 30th Aug.1864, the Commandants, where there are such, or the Commanding Officers of Corps, shall have power to divide the yearly drills into any number which they may think most conductive to the discipline and efficiency of the volunteer force, and to apportion to each drill or parade such proportion of the whole pay of eight dollars per annum as they may judge proper, provided always that the sum apportioned to each drill shall not exceed fifty cents ; and in future every volunteer who may attend battalion drill under a field officer, and certified by the commanding officers, may receive credit for such drill, provided the total attendance at any battallion drill, for which pay is claimed, be not less than sixty men.But nothing in this order is to be construed as affecting general orders 7 and 8, of the 31st Aug.1864, respecting brigade field dayspnor as altering, in any manner, the condition as to the efficiency of the yearly inspection, by competent inspecting officers, on rvhich, alone, any drill pay will be issued, nor as conferring a claim by any volunteer to an amount of drill pay in any one year beyond the $8 authorized by law.afraid to offend her by protecting his innocent and helpless offspring.It seems that the boy.now dead, \u201c was six years old and was subjected for two years past to great cruelty at the hands of this woman.She would beat him with clubs until the neighbors came in and compelled her to desist.She would compel him to eat offal of the most loathsome character for trifling offences, until at length, a bright smart boy, under cruel treatment, became almost an idiot.Finally, on the 20th of December, she locked this boy in the house and went away, remaining for three days.When she returned, with her husband, the boy was dead.The neighbors went in and found tile little creature lying on his heap of rags, nearly naked and frozen quite stiff.\u201d Ths Davis-Gustaff Poisoning Case.\u2014Geo, Gustaff was arrested in New York, and application made to a United States Commissioner in that city for his surrender under the Extradition Act, on the charge of attempting to poison Alex.McKinnon, in Toronto, on the 3idOct, 1865.Counsel on both sideshaving been beared.Commissioner Osborn gave judgement on Monday, certifying the proceedings to the State Department at Washington.This will throw the final decision on the American Government, whether or not Gustaff is to be surrendered to tne Canadian authorities.J^A New Crime.\u2014A hairdresssr in the Quarter Montmarte has been charged before the police court with a series of singular assaults.With the assistance of an accomplice, who appears to be known by his associates as \u201cthe assassin,\u201d he has been in the habit of enticing into his shop poor ignorant girls with fine heads of hair and then depriving them by violence of their locks, not unfrequently adding insults to injury.The police discovered in his shop numerous letters from his victims, upbraiding him with his cruelty.A young girl of sixteen had the courage to denouuce the ruffian to the police, undeterred by his threats of having her imprisoned, as a vagabond, and there is abundant evidence to insure bis coniction.The only defence was that he dealt largely in false tresses and chignons and was obliged to find materials the best way he could.\u2014Ball Mall Gazette.Murder in Detroit.\u2014A fearful murder was committed in Detroit on Thursday last.A Mrs.William Lynch was killed by her own brother.It appears that a trifling altercation took place between them, whereupon the miscreant drew a revolver and fired at her.The shot not taking effect, he seized an axe and aimed a murderous blow at her.The blow felled her to the earth, killing her instantly, when the murderer with might and main struck the axe repeatedly into her body, literally cuL ting her to pieces 1 The ruffian was arrested aud is

Curious quarrel.\u2014A few miles from Birmingham there are fields of several acres in wjifoh the wheat crops are still standing uncut to the great delight of myriads of birds, who have pretty nearly emptied the ears.The singular waste\tof\tpro- duce arises from an intricate dispute between the landlord and the off-going tenant on the one baud, and the off-going and the in-coming tenant on the other.The last had agreed to take the standing crops of the second if the second paid the first the rent.The rent was not paid, and the landlord claims the right of distress over the crops.This the off-going tenant disputes.The in-coming tenant wisees to deduct from the money which ne has to pay to his predecessor for the crops an amount which the landlord claims for arrears.The late tenant declines to accede to this arrangement, aud the new tenant therefore declines to have anything to do with the crops.So the curious spectacle is presented of acres of ripe wheat standing within a few day of Christmas.CAPTURE OF \u201cBRISTOL BILL,\u201d THE PROJECTOR OF THE GALT BANK ROBBERY.On Saturday Captain Nicolls, with the force under his command, succeeded in effecting the capture of one of the oldest and most noted bank robbers known in Canada or the United States, \u201c Bristol Bill.\u201d The prisoner is the same who projected the robbery of the Gore Bank at Galt, some months since, and tb rough a misapprehension the convict Smith, now serving a term in the Penitentiary for the same offence, received the nom de plume of his master in that enterprise.At the time of the arrest of Smith and Ramb, aijd the escape of one of the party in Hamilton who hired the team irom the livery stable, still another party remained to be accounted for, to reconcile the statements of witnesses at Galt, ivho observed the mauceuvr-ing about the bank on the night of the attempted robbery.It subsequently became known to the police authorities that the chief actor in that transaction was one of the two who had escaped arrest, and that this party had been residing in Hamilton quietly for some months, in like manner as had the convict Smith, under the name of Henry Parker, Parker, who is known to be the veritable \u201c Bristol Bill,\u201d on escaping-, took up his residence in Rochester, N.Y., leaving his wife, and since that time his residence has been narrowly watched, in expect-tationofhis return.This morning CaptainNicolls received information that Parker had arrived in this city, and was at his residence, a brick house in Main street, immediately in the rear of the residence of Petter Grant, Esq.Immediaie-ly the captain instituted measures for his capture, observing the caution which previous police exploits in Hamilton had shown was necessary in attempting the arrest of such a character.A large portion of the force was marshalled for the emergency, and, with the captain himself, were arrayed in citizens' clothing and fully disguised.The pose surrounded the residence of the desperado, and on entering Capt.Nicolls discovered the long sought for individual in a back room, where he quietly submitted to the officers of thel aw, exhibiting great chagrin and dismay.A search of the premises revealed, a stock of burglar\u2019s tools, similar to the assortment found upon the premises of Smith at the time of his arrest.The conviction of Parker, for his implication in the attempted bank robbery referred to, is secured beyond doubt, by witnesses in Galt, and particularly upon the evidence of Lamb, now in goal at Galt, who was one of his accomplices in the enterprises.But this offence by no means comprises all that will be brought against the prisoner.THE ADAMS\u2019 COVERY OF EXPRESS ROBBERY\u2014REPART OF THE MONEY.(From the New York Post, Jan.10.) Three men were arrested last night, at Norwalk, Conn, on suspicion of having been concerned in the robbery of the Adams\u2019Express company.Two of them are supposed to be the robbers, and the other is accused of having carried away the stolen funds, which are thought to have been conveyed to his house, not far from Norwalk.Yesterday morning a man named Tristham, living on Flax hill, near Norwalk, came to the railroad station, dragging a hand sled on which there was a heavy bundle.Tristham wished to go to New York with this bundle.The baggage-master proposed to check it for him and convey it with the other baggage, but the man declined, and carried the bundle, which was wrapped with paper, into the car and kept it with him during the journey.He was suspected at Norwalk, hut it appears the detectives knowing him, and understanding that he had not been away from Norwalk, did not feel themselves authorised to procure his arrest, or did not have time to do so ; and he was allowed to come to New York, Word was immediately sent the express company on the arrival of the train here ; but in the interval Tristham had gone, and before he was ready to return home he had disposed of his bundle.There was no evidence against him ; but his arrest was decided on ; and when he went out of the cars at Norwalk last evening he was taken into custody by the Connecticut local authorities.to whom intelligence of his moye-ments had been forwarded.Tristham was kept in Nerwalk, w hile two constables, named Bartram and Finney, went to search his house at Flax Hill.In this house the constables were surprised to find two men, besides Tristham\u2019s family.The men were strangers, and gave no satisfactory account of themselves ; so the constables arrested them and took them to Norwalk, where they were left under guard at the Norwalk hotel.It appeared on further investigation, that the men came from Stamford, Connecticut, on the night when they made their appearance in Norwalk.At Stamford they endeavoured to hire a horse and waggon of Mr.Thomas Brown ;they wanted no dinner and he refused to accommodate them unless they would leave with him the full value of his property.The men declined to do this, and they walked to Norwalk.The death of Leopold may exercise a great effect upon the destiny of Mexico.Very indifferent to grandeur, the late King was not indifferent to money, and in thirty four years he accumulated a fortune stated to exceed 3,2,000,-O0OZ.Oue-tliinl he has left to his successor, another to his second son, and the third to his daughter, Empress of Mexico.One of the reasons which induced an Austrian Archduke to accept his odd position as a satrap of France was pecuniary embarrassement, which this im-mence legacy will finally remove.Miramar with a great income may seem a pleasanter berth than Mexico, without French troops or American recognition.The Buffalo and Lake Huron Amalgamation.\u2014Notice appears in the Canada Gazette, that Parliament, next session, will be again asked to sanction the amalgamation of the Buffalo and Lake Huron Railway with the Grand Trunk.Avoid Medicines : they always aggravate chronic complaints ;

and the results of their preliminary operations having established the rich and permanent character of the mine, the company propose to enter upon its development on a scale commensurate with its importance and value.The Maps and Plans show the position and extent of the property, and the nature and mode of occurrence of the veins ; and the Report, which may be obtained at the Office of the Company, and which are drawn up by competent scientific and practical authorities, may be accepted as proving the present and prospective value of the property for mining purposes.It may be mentioned that Sir William Logan, to whom these reports and plans have been submitted for inspection, has intimated ; his approbation of the same, and has endorsed the recommendations contained therein.The consumption of lead in Canada and the British American Provinces is very great, and constantly increasing with the growth aud progress of the country.At present, this metal, in its various forms ; is imported from abroad,subject to a duty of 20 per cent ; consequently, the large profits which will accrue from its production and manufacture in this country, afford a strong stimulus to the development of a productive mine such as that of Li ttle Gaspe.In addition to the lead veins on the property it is expected that wells of petroleum will be developed upon it, indications of the existence of this valuable material having been discovered on an adjoining lot, which seems to be even less favorably situated than some parts of the Company\u2019s land.The operation of boring for rock oil is now being extensively and successfully prosecuted on the opposite side of Gaspe Bay, in rocks of the same age and condition as on this Company\u2019s property.The facilities for carrying on mining operations on this property are in every respect unequalled.The conformation of the land is such as to secure ample natural drainage to a great depth ; and its situation upon the sea-coast, and at a point where there is a good harbour, affords a ready means for the transportation of ores and materials at the cheapest rate.In the event of smelting the ores on the spot coals could be landed from Pictou, in Nova Scotia, at a small advance on the prime cost.The property itself will, however, yield an ample supply of wood for fuel, as well as for all other purposes connected with mining ; and there is also an abundant supply of water for dressing ores, &c.The climate of Gaspe is remarkably healthy ; labour and provisions abundant and cheap.It is a free port of entry for exports and imports.There are upon the premises dwelling-houses belonging to the company, capable of accommodating a considerable force of workmen ; also a blacksmith\u2019s shop, and all the appliances requisite for the prosecution of the work of mi ning.The recommendations contained in the Reports with regard to the continued working of the mines are now being carried out by the Company under the superintendence of experienced miners ; and the results so far fully justify the most sanguine anticipations.As an investment, the Gaspe Lead Mine offers to capitalists and mining adventurers advantages superior to most enterprises pfthe kind, and which cannot fail to be appreciated on a consideration of the facts set forth in the reports.Dr.Spinney, for the purpose of accommodating the public, will attend to patients from 9 until 12 o\u2019clock on Sunday.TRADE AND COMMERCE.HERALD OFFICE,\t1 Montreal, Tuesday, Jan.16, 1866./ Snow has fallen heavily all day.Trade generally is dull, and likely to continue so until the weather is more settled.The Flour market continues dull.Business is restricted to small lots for local consumption.Quotations unchanged.Superior Extra $7 to $7,30.Extra $6,25 to $6,75.Superfine from Canada Wheat $5,50 to $5,85.Bag Flour $2,95 to $3.Oatmeal, per barrel of 200 lbs $4,60 to $5,10.Wheat, per bushel 60 lbs.,nominal.U.C.Spring $1,16 to $1,20.Chicago Spring and Milwaukee Club $1,14 to $1,20.Pease per 60 lbs, 70c to 72jc.Corn, per 56 lb-., 57c to 58c.Barley per 48 lbs., 60c to 65c.Oats, per 32 lbs 30c to 32c.Ashes, per 100 lbs.$5,80 to $5,87j.Seconds $5,40.Pearls $6,75 to $7,oO.Pork, per barrel 200 lbs.Old and New Mess $24 and $25.Dressed Hogs, $7,75 to $8,00.Butter, per lb dull.Medium to choice 18c to 20c.Financial Sterling Exchange, quiet.Bank 60 days sight on London 9J to 85 premium for cash.;
