As a logical necessity Andy must resist the meeting of Congress.\u2019Look out for breakers.A Subsoribbr, The Alabama Claims.\u2014We find in our American exchanges a part of the correspondence, referred to a few days since in the telegraphic news, which has recently passed between Mr.Seward and Lord Stanley in regard to the Alabama claims.The letters are very lengthy\u2019, and the claims o n our space will not permit us to reproduce them, nor indeed are the details of the discussion of sufficient imjiortance to justify us in doing so.The question of most interest at the present time is, whether a just and honourable settlement is likely to be arrived at.The correspondence before us opens with a lengthy communication from Mr.Seward, dated Jan.12th, 1867, in reply to a despatch of Lord Stanley of the 30th of November last.Mr.Seward reiterates the pretensions of the United States Government as set forth\tin previous correspondence on\ttho same question, and discusses in an elaborate manner the character of the vessels whose depredations gave rise to the claims under dispute.The tone of the despatch on the whole is moderate, and Mr.Seward says \u201c the President appreciates tlie consideration and courtesy manifested by Her Majesty\u2019s Government:\u201d but many will be found not quite prepared to accept unquestioned his defence of the conduct of the United States Government in regard to the proceedings of the Fenians.Mr.Seward holds, correctly enough perhaps, that \u201c the Fenian movement neither begins nor ends in the United States ; but they are natives of Great Britain, though some of them have assumed naturalization in the United States.Their quarrel with Great Britain is not an American, but a British one, as old, I sincerely hope it may not be as lasting, as the union of the United Kingdom.\u201d But he adds tbat, \u201c The United States Government has not recognized the Irish Republic as a belligerent, and has disarmed its forces when found within its territories and waters.\u201d It will not be forgotten, however, that the proceedings of the lawless band were only interfered with at the very last moment, when to have delayed longer would have involved the -two countries in war.But in other respects Mr.Seward seems to treat tho subject in hand very fairly.He declares in the conclusion of his letter, that the United States \u201c should even think it better that the discussion be brought to an end, which might, perhaps, in some degree, disappoint the parties, than that it should continue to alienate the two nations, each of which is powerful enough to injure the other deeply, while their maintenance of conflicting principles in regard to intervention would be a calamity to all natious.\u201d He adds that his Government believe it would be easier and more desirable that the claims should be acknowledged and satisfied, than to find a wise arbitrator to adjudicate them; but if arbitration were preferred, the United States would not object, and would expect to refer the whole controversy just as it is found in the correspondence which has taken place, with such further argument as either party may desire, without imposing any restrictions or conditions upon the umpire, and without waving any principle on either side.Lord Stanley replying under date of March the 6th, wisely declines to follow Mr.Seward over the argument a* to the responsibility of the British question they were willing to submit, with the further provision that if the decision were unfavorable to England, a mixed commission should be appointed to consider the general claims of the subjects of both countries.Sir F.Bruce was directed to read this despatch to Mr.Seward, and to \u201cexpress to him the earnest hope of Her Majesty\u2019s Government that their proposal will be excepted by the Cabinet of\tWashington in\tthe\tspirit in which it is made.\u201d On the 12th of\tAugust Mr.\tSeward replied that his Government could only consent to \u201c unrestricted arbitration,\u201d in regard to all claims, the general as well as the specific ones arising from tho depredations of the Alabama, and other vessels.They did not see the advantage of the two tribunals which Lord Stanley\u2019s plan seemed to con-siitute.If two tribunals were found to ba necessary, they should be clothed with the same powers.The last despatch published is from Lord Stanley, who further explains his former proposal, which, however, he repeats, namely that the British Government \u201care prepared to go to arbitration in \u201c regard to the Alabama, and such like \u201c claims, on tho condition that, simultané-\u201c ously with the reference of those claims \u201c to arbitration, an agreement is entered \u201c into between the two Governments for \u201c the adjustment of general claims by a \u201c mixed commission.\u201d Itseems to us from reading over the correspondence, which is not very clear as to the result, that Lord Stanley\u2019s proposition to refer mutual claims to arbitration is virtually accepted by Mr.Seward, the only difference being as to the two tribunals.On that point it is not yet very clear whether some concessions may not be expected either on one side or the other.The discussion, however, has been conducted in the best possible temper, and we may reasonably expect, when it has reached the present point, that a settlement satisfaetory alike to both nations will be speedily arrived at.If this be the outcome of all the augmentation, it will be a matter for general rejoicing.- .Tnti Ei.ecwok» im Nova Soo«*.-\u2014More NEW STEAMER 08LAKE MEMPHRE- MACDG.On Monday afternoon* small party of Montrealers under the guidiice of Mr.MacDuff put themselves oa beat the Grand Trunk cars bound for Waterloi for the purpose of proceeding thence to tfeftvillage of Magog, to witness tho launching t\u2018; the new steamer, which has just been consucted for service on Lake Memphremagog.§me notices of this steamer have already apeared in the newspapers, and, after some days, which prevented her from being set afloat 4 an earlier day, she was declared to be all rely for launching on Tuesday.Hence the trlptom Montreal.We are not about to inflict c our readers any of those weari some iteraticS about the alternations of weather which 'ere experienced on the journey ; but it m iyie well to make one or two remarks for :e information of those, who have not jeen this gem of water nestling among inountains, known as Memphremagos, and vo may desire to see it.The journey then wetay say consists of a four hours railway jomiieper Grand Trunk to St John\u2019s, aud thence feyhe Stanstead.Shef-fordand Chambly B.Jlito Waterloo.At Waterloo the traveller t^jliass the night at one of two or three gcod K'tli'the largest kept by Mr.Hall In Jthe\the may take the stage by a very beau^ji road, abouuding in Lake aud Mountain stiery to Magog, or if he pleases by a somewhat ess romantic route to Knowlton\u2019s Landing.,t either of these place?he is on tho Lake anecan take the steamer.The writer, bent on sedg the launch went to Magog, passing on tlj way the foot of the highest mountain ia Lver Canada, known as Orford Mountain wth Charming lake lying at the base, i t must be ailed, however, that the day being wet, alf the Nanties of the jjland-seape were not pprejated, aud this added considerably to tfc enna caused by those delays which are irideutl to such occasions.Nevertheless, in fite ofihe rain, the country side mustered i large force.The notables were all there, ar the rustics put in a large appearance, man of than driving in teams, with a colt runug by the side of the mare, in the traces.Aitether the pretty little village was a scene of usual excitement.The Volunteer Companpf the place turned out some twenty strong, Icompanied by a band consisting of twedrummers and three fifes, whose music w neither powerful, nor sweet ; and the expeoion reached its height when the Newport smer the \u201cStars and Stripes\u201d came in sight,rrying Mr.H.Allan, the President of the Mphremagog Navigation Company, with hismily, and a party of friends.Among these w Mr.Brydges, Mr.Gait, Mr.Alex.Molson,! several others.Mr.Justice Day, Mr.Terr and Mr.Knight all came by land.Other ctators were brought by the steamer Mourn, aud the Nora Steam Ferry IRISH PROTESTANT BENEVOLENT SOCIETY\u2019S PIC-NIC.Yesterday tho pic-nio of this Society was held in Guilbault\u2019s Gardens.Nothing could have been more favourable than the weather which was clear and warm, with a pleasant breeze.Troops of well dressed people came flocking in about three o\u2019clock especially, although a good many had come at a much earlier hour.The centre of attraction was as usual, the enclosure in which the games are contested, but_ the swings, and other amusements had their full quota of visitors, and not a few were attracted to see the young lion born in the menagerie last year and which promises to attain immense prouortions.The military games on foot and horseback were well contested, and the men of the Wolverine did not fail to come in for their fair share of the applause.The band of the Classeurs Ca- with Hie full approbation of all the candidates ; but with the facts which are now in our possession, we feel'bound to say that .another appointment of Mr.Keys to the position of returning officer would be a glaring outrage on the rights of the electors, and one which no (lo-vernment having the slightest respect for public decencv v/ould dare to make.\u201d Coalition returning officers may play all sorts of tricks where \u201cFactionists\" are to be defeated thereby but they must not practice them on \u201c Union\u201d men._ It is highly immoral.After explaining that it was only \u201c underpressure of the threats\u201d made by legal gentlemen acting in Dr.Grant\u2019s interest, that this returning officer could be in-duced to fill oufc the blank commissions for his i deputies, the Times concludes :_ \u201c We leave these damning facts to spea.themselves, and to bring the blush of shame to the cheeks of those who are responsible for GARIBALDI AND ROME.Tho recent movements of Garibaldi, and the speech he made on Monday on his arrival in Geneva, throw new light on the combinations now being formed in Europe.A few weeks ago the preparations for an insurrection in the Papal States, aud for aiding this insurrection by an army of Garibaldian volunteers, had been made on tho largest scale.A strong hope was entertained that the Ministry would connive at the movement, and make no attempt to prevent the collection of the Garibaldian army of volunteers.Accordingly, the formatiou of the army uear the Papal frontier was begun, and the speedy invasion of the States of the Church openly announced.But the Ministry shrank ' Ywofienuiug France, and Ritszzi declirecl T-Hhatt\" \" sixty-six millions of millions of millions of times, or 2,666,000,000,000,000,000,000.\u2019\u2019 This number, the Professor remarks, \u201c far transcends human experience.So vast an improbability is practically an impossibility.Such evanescent shadows of improbability cannot belong to actual life.They are unimaginably less than the least things which the law cares not for \u201d And his coudusion from these data is thus expressed : 11 Under a solemn sense of the responsibility involved in the assertion, I declare that the coincidence which has hero occurred must have had its origin in au intention to produce A million of dollars has often been staked on the calculation of chances ; but there is not, in all probability, another example on record in which the verdict in a law case involving that amount was liable to be determined liy the testimony of a learned professor, following out the principles which La Place\u2019s great work hag so ably set forth, and applying the unalterable rules of inathem itieal seieuce to determine what may seem, to the uninitiated, a purely fortuitous matter, namely, the chances of coincidence, in its action, while writing, of tho human hand.Among tho collateral question raised one interesting to photographers, as to comparative merit of the Voigtlander Globe lenses.vas the and few nadiens played a varied selection during the i t*îam-, Had not the Chizen grossly outraglci day, and a quadrille band keot the feet of the young people going vigorously Messrs.Â.A.btevenson and Alexander Murphy acted as judges of the games, and from their award we have made up the following PRIZE LIST.Foie High Leap :.JYark, 1st, 9 ft 6 in.: McMahon, 2d, 9 ft 2 in.Quarter Mile Race: Dirken, 13th Hus , 1st-T McMahon, 2d.Highland Fling : 'Wm.Summer.AYol 1st \u2022 John Gee, do, 2d.\t\u2019 Tilting at the Ring : McFariane, 13th Hus , 1st ;

the tables being rendered gayer by a profuse display of flowers from the Herne Hill, the property of Mr.Alex.Molson, whose gardner furnished moreover all the varieties of vegetables required for the occasion.\u201c Soon as the rage of hunger was appeased,\" Mr.H.Allan, as President, called on the company to fill their glasses, and expressed his regret, that so many person! who had come together on that occasion, should have been disappointed.However, the Lady of the Lake would not go into the Lake.Like many other ladies she objected to the first plunge.It would, therefore, be necessary to try persuasion, and probably\u2014again like other ladies\u2014 she might yield to gentle pressure.However, in spite of the disappointment, the day was one of considerable importance to the people living round the Lake, for such a vessel as the one they were on board of must increase the trade on these waters, make them better known, and so bring persons toit.The persons concerned had tried to take a lesson inenterprize from the people of the United States, who were almost always first in improvement, and of whom he was glad to see so many there that day, but it was chiefly the people of Montreal who had furnished the capital for that enterprize\u2014some of them with no special interest in the Lake ; but merely from a liberal spirit which prompted them to encourage (he enterprize.The time would come, however, when the railway must be continued to Magog, atd he trusted that gentlemen interested in railways would take the subject up, so as to conuect the Lake with a railway line between Montreal and New York and Boston An Amarican gentleman, having, in response called for three cheers for Mr.Allan, and the latter gentleman having returned thanks, the company separated, Captain Fogg being unable longer to delay his voyage np the Lake.CITY ITEMS.St.Andrew\u2019s Home.\u2014The Committee of the St.Andrew\u2019s Home are making arrangements for a grand gathering of the Clans on Saturday the 21st inst., at the Garrison Cricket Ground, St.Catherine street.There will he games of various kinds, and every sort of amusement provided, the proceeds being intended for the benefit of the Home, which stands in need of funds for the winter, during which there are always numerous claimants for all the help the Committee can extend to them.Theatre Royal \u2014The Island of St.Tropez, whatever its literary merits, has at least the merit of possessing an unusual and most exciting plot.The audience evinced the deepest p.ssible interest throughout the evening, and proven by their frequent applause that both the play- and the playing was a success.Henri Desart, the ci devant Captain, Mr.Mayo, certainly excelled every effort made during the week, and wins a hearty tribute praiso for nis life of like and impressive impersonation of a difficult role.Mrs.Buckland, it is needless to say\u2019, more than did credit to her character of Estelle Dumeret.Her^ playing, _ always earnest and graceful, received a decided verdict of approval from the large audience.AYe hope that the play may again be rehearsed before the season closes.For the last time this season, the very beautiful aud exciting tragedy of Macbeth will be presented.In it Mr.Mayo, of course, sustains the fharacto-of IHachatlL «id With Mrs.Buck-land as Lady Macbeth, Mr.Bowers as 1st witch, and Banquo in the hands of Mr.Hal-tord, we may be certain to have an evening of pleasant intercourse with Him Of Startford.Police Court.\u2014Paul Ferris, for stealing a coat from Peter Carron, was sentenced to six weeks imprisonment.James Callaghan, for using insulting language, was fined $3 and costs or one month.Calixte Kingsly, for assault half a dollar and costs or 15 days.Jonn Spring, assault, $2 and costs or one month.John Fitzgerald, assault, 10c.and costs or 8 days.Recorder\u2019s Court.\u2014Joseph Lauzon, keeping a nuisance of a disgusting nature in his house, $2 50 or 15 days.Joseph Beialr, careless driving, $2 or 15 days.Gaspard Mathieu, disturbing thé peace in Laugauchetiere street, $10 or 2 months.Edward Huot, father and son, were fined $2 50 each and cost or 15 days, for assault.Several disorderly women were fined $5 each or one month.THE FENIAN CONGRESS.' HISTORY OF THE LATE SECRET SESSION.Cleveland, Sept.10.\u2014 The Cleveland Herald contains an account of the proceedings of the Fenian Congress which closed, its week\u2019s session last night.The Congress sat with closed doors, but the moat important facts have been divulged.The proceedings were stormy, and there was danger of the Congress breaking up in n general row.Considerable feeling was manifested at the proposition to swear the members to secrecy; but after hearing instances uai rated of previous bad faith, it was determined to bind every member by stringent oath to secrecy\u2019.The question whether women should be admitted to Circles was answered in tke negative, because of their inability to keep a secret.The message of President Roberts, occupying several columns, was given to the public ; but the supplementary message, containing accounts of his mission to Paris, was reserved for the private consideration of the Congress.In that docu nent Mr.Roberts said that after visiting circles in Great Britain aud Ireland he went to Paris, where he met the representatives of the Irish Revolutionary Brotherhood.He found the Irish people very much discouraged since the failure in Canada, and it required his best efforts to convince them that the Fenian Brotherhood, as now organized in America, were not responsible for the disaster, and to lay the blame upon the proper persons\u2014the Stephens party.These men had been sent to Europe to work for the cause but instead of doing the work laid out for them they had put up ut the hotels, kept fast horses and faster women, and had squandered the money which the poor hard working Irish people had freely given for the Independence of Ireland.He had laboured until the 4th day of July to effect a bond of union between the I.R.B.of the old country, and the F.B.of America, and upon that day it was accomplished, and to-day the two were one in purpose.Tho time and place to make a strike came up, aud was discussed by the gentlemen.Some suggested six months from the 4th of July ;but he told them that he did not think that tho two organizations would be in perfect working order so as to strike together before twelve mouths, and the matter was so decided.He stated that the Irish of the old country were warm upon the subject, and only wanted the cooperation of the Irishmen on this side of the Water, hut thaLthe-Jrish- rix Um -oW-would never rise again until an army fully equipped and armed stood upon Irish soil to defend them ; that U was extreme recklessness and would lead to nothing but butchery, for them to make a .stiihe without the aid of American Irishmen.During this Paris meet- Con yen turn, and would prevent uy force any hostile demonstration against Rome The movement was, nevertheless, not immediately abandoned.It was thought that the Roman people themselves, aided by those volunteers who coula elude the vigilance of the Italian troops, would be able to overthrow the Papal rule, aud at least demonstrate the ability of the Italian nation to settle this question in the sense of the National party as long as foreign intervention was kept off.' Suddenly, however, the whole movement was postponed.j he volunteers, by order of Garibaldi returned to their homes.The General stated that tho movement would be made at a more opportune time In his speech at Geneva he says y ¦ ry positively ttmt tne plan of action will soon be carried into effect.In the meanwhile, the French and Italian papers charged ttiw Piussian Government with having supplied Garibaldi with money and arms, am! with encouraging his plan- The r.-ports were so positive tout there was reason to believe them not to bo without foundation.7 he belief in them was stren-tbeued by the ro port that Garibaldi bad acc pted an invitation from the Prussian Ambassador at Florence to dine with him This latter renort is now contradicted by a Cable despatch, but the denial, even if correct, does by no means extend to uegotiations having taken place between Garibaldi and agents of tho Prussian Government.Garibaldi, informed of the plans of Russia aud Prussia against Turkey and Austria, would not be slow to understand that the right moment for the liberation of Rome will airive when France, wnolly occupied with the dangers threatening her allies, the Turks and the House of Hapshurg, will not dare to drive the Italian nation into an aggressive alliance with Russia aud Prussia, and when the two latter Powers will be willing to offer to the Government and people of Italy a guarantee against auy foreign intervention in favour of the.Temporal Power, The Italian Government is very reticent about its plans in the Roman question.That its former policy has not been abandoned was clearly proved by the bill for tile confiscation of the Cnurch property.Tho negotiations with Berlin through the Minister of AVar, Gtigia, have undoubtedly a political significance.A FAMILY QUARREL.Those pinks of political purity, the Ottawa Coalition politicians, are quarrelling among themselves, and, as might be expected, they tell some ugly stories about each other.The Ottawa Citizen, the organ of Mr.Bell, ex-M P.P:, for Russell,.explains the means by which the majority against him was obtained.After avowing its regret at the results, the Citizen affirms as follows : \u2014 \u201c These majorities were obtained through means of a profuse expenditure of money.AVe sincerely regret having to record this fact, for we were gloth to believe that selfish considerations could lead the electors of Russell to record an adverse vote against a public servant who had served them faithfully aud with distinguished credit for six years, and whose pride in the country and exertions to promote its welfare had been heralded from end to end of the country.It is not our province to enquire closely into the matter as to how the money was obtained, or how applied, which was used to secure hie defeat.AVe are satisfied, however, that the instruments engaged in recklessly and unscrupulously purchasing the voters, were political and personal foes of Mr.Beil\u2019s; men who have for years past, used every dishonourable and discreditable effort to obstruct him in his public usefulness, and to hunt him from political and parliamentary life.\u201d It would have been bad enough for some \u201c Grit\u201d newspaper to have given currency to such charges as these ; but it is insufferable, coming as it does, from a \u2018 Union\u2019 journal The Ottawa Times takes up the cudgels for Dr.Grant, the elected Unionist.The charge is, that a plan was concocted to return Mr.Bell, in spite of the electors of the county.The returning officer withheld the commissions from his deputies in some half dozen polling places, having issued them merely in those localities in which it was expected that Mr.Bell would secure a majority of the votes cast.This is a serious charge ; but the Times affirms that it has tlie proofs, and can produce them if required.The trick was discovered in time, and this \u201c pious Union fraud\u201d was not perpetrated.Certainly, the Ottawa officials are expert managers, and Sir Jonn A.may very reasonably hope to hold power for a length of time, since he has such zealous and able friends to support him.But that we may not do injustice to tho \u201c noble unionists\u201d interested in this affair, we will give some extracts from the Times.The Union Org»n premises that it acts only from a sense of duty; it says Against our personal inclinations, but in obedience to what we conceive to be our duty to the public, we proceed to expose an act of intended scoundrelism, which we have every reason to believe was planned to deprive Dr.Grant of his seat in the Commons as representative of the county of Russell.\u201d It then gives the plot, which we have described, and adds ;\u2014\u201c That this apparent neglect was conceived with an ultimate design of setting the election aside, we .have abundant proof in the fact that parties were prepared to take up bets that Dr.Grant would not be returned for the county.AVhen, on the part of Mr.Bell\u2019s friends, it was found, that the contemplated fraud had been discovered, two gentlemen were sent out to Metcalfe, Township of Osgoode, for the purpose of spiriting away the returning officers, so that the deliberately planned blunders might not he corrected in time to make the election valid.This is strong ; but the Times to remove any a priori improbability that might attach to such a story tells us :\u2014-\u201c The full import of what we have said will be better understood by public men when we explain that the same returning officer, under whom the infamous Feliowes frauds were perpetrated, was the one appointed to conduct the present election for the county.\u201d The Times evidently, from a fear of being deemed factious or \u201c disunion,\u201d hastens to excuse the Coalition for again appointing the returning officer who so distinguished himself in the Fel-lowes case.Like the Western jury, the organ renders a verdict of \u201c not guilty this lime, but they must not do it again.\u201d It says \u201c we do not complain that the Government should have re appointed such an officer, seeing that so far as we know, this last appointment was made ing Stephens and his party were denounced in most severe terms as adventurers, and they-have resolved to hold no communication with them.Gen.Spear, acting Secretary of War, reported that the wnolo force of the Fenian Brigade numbered 9,300 enlisted men, with about 15,-000 rifles, 16,500 accoutrements, 120,000 rounds of ammunition ; in addition, there were 100 rifles along the border, from St Albans to Oawego, in the hands of private parties.At Sackett\u2019s Harbor about 2,000 stand of arms,and at Platt\u2019s Point about .1,200, at Oswego 119 rifles-in all about 20,000.In addition to this force the Sttphens wing claimed to have 15,000 stand of arms, 15,000 sabres, and a large lot of ammunition, and a vessei in New-York Harbour.It was décidai that four military organizers should be appointed to raise troops ; that an inspector-general should also be appointed.Ten batteries of field aitillery, three cavalrj regiments of ten companies each, and two light batteries, mounted to go with the cavalry are to be appointed.Casey\u2019s tactics are to be adopted.A fund to defray army expenses is to be raised by collecting ten cents from each soldier.The soldiers of the Irish Republic\u2014 by which name the military organization is hereafter to be known\u2014are to be sober and discreet men, as well as good fighting soldiers No man addicted to intoxicating liquors is to bo admitted into the ranks, and any man found drunk will be dismissed.A committee from the Stephens wing of the Brotherhood sent a communication, asking that a committee be sent to confer with them on the subject of the union of the two wings.After sharp debate a committe was appointed, and the result of the conference was an arrangement for perfecting the union of the two factions of Fenians in America, together with the Fenians in Ireland, into one organization, to be known as the Irish Republic.Col.Roberts was re elected President, but declined unless the Congress would raise $500.000 for the cause.Half that amount was pledged, and after further consideration Col.Roberts accepted the position.It was decided to call on all the Circles to immediately send to headquarters what funds were in their possession, and to waste no more money for flags and trappings.Every available dollar is to be used for thy purchase and refitting of arms and the procurai of ammunition.The bonds of the Irish Republic were reported to realize only twenty cents on the dollar, so that the strictest economy is necessary, No definite time has been fixed on for the grand movement.The Congress agreed to leave the determination of the time and general plan of the campaign to a Convention of the Military Officers of the Irish Republic, to be held in the Spring.A resolution of respect for the memory of Thomas Brands Meagher created a heated discussion, there being a difference of opinion as to his merits, and the services he had rendered the Fenian cause.The resolution was at last declared carried amid vocifeerous dissent.A resolution was adopted by a large majority appointing a Committee to draft an appeal to the United 8tates Government in behalf of the Irish prisoners confined in British duugeons.In the debate on the passage of this resolution, the general spirit of the Congress was in favour of such action, and thatjjthe two great political parties in America should understand that which ever party proved friends of the Fenian Brotherhood, would receive the pledge of support from the Brotherhood and that this should be taught to different Circles at home.In this way the Fenian Brotherhood would become a power to be fëlt and heard ia America.It was the feeling that all parties should be ignored, and that the Brotherhood should be the enemy of its enemies, and the friends of its friends, no matter who the party, or what their principles.A declaration of principles was afterward adopted and given to the public, as were a series of resolutions which professed hearty co-operation with the friendly press, disclaiming and forbidding any use of the Brotherhood for political purposes in connection with present partios in this country.Daring Attempts at Burglary.\u2014The attempted burglaries at Mrs.Shelgrove\u2019s have been followed by more daring attempts.Last night three safes were broken into, but only one contained money.The safe in Mr.Mayor Charlton\u2019s vinegar factory was opened by means of drilling of or using some instrument for removing the lock.The sum of $110 was abstracted, but other valuables were not touched.The safe of Messrs.Judd&Co., soap and candle makers, was similarly dealt with, but no money rewarded the burglars for their pains.Messrs.Perkins&Clarke\u2019s mills were broken open, but the fellows had to decamp without securing their object.\u2014i/amiftc» Times AN EXTRAORDINARY AVILL CASE.One of the most remarkable cases on record is now the talk of Boston.The evidence, taken before examiners some months since, but only just published, fills a volume of a thousand pages.The amount involved exceeds a million dollars.The argument in the case\u2014 before the United States Circuit Couit, Justice Clifford presiding\u2014commenced last Friday.It is a suit in equity, brought by Hetty H.Robinson against Thomas Mandell and others.Miss Robinson [now Airs.Green] was, previous to her marriage, one of the richest, if not the richest, spinster in the States ; her property, which she inherited from her father, was reputed to be worth $5,000,000.Her aunt, Sylvia Ann Howland, who died in ISGa.jUfta will bearing date Sept, 1863, and a codicil executed in 1864.By this will and codicil Miss Howland disposed of about $700,000 in private legacies, the largest, of $200,000, to Thomas Mandell, her lawyer, we believe ; $115,000 to her physician, Dr.Gordon, and from $2,000 to $15,000 to each person in her employment She left, also, $340,000 for public aud chari- Arts LI At-ptaaoy-txwoj-o*' -¦»\tlAj-»T 111 AX/ she resided, was to receive $320,000.The residue of her esfeiite, amounting to about a mil THE FRANCHISE.(From the Christian Journal.) Tho franchise has been within the last dajs usediu some constituencies of Canada, and is still being used in other places.Amid party anxiety, and conflict, and amid the influence put forth on those occasions, there ia much which a truly Christian mind has to lament; while, on tlie other hand, there is much to admire in the unseitish noble raind-eduess, the moral honesty and integrity which disdains corruption, flinging it away in contempt.Hug the meanness practised by certain parties, the low and corrupt Goings they will stoop to for political ends, is surfeiting to all manhood and morality.The immense turns of money that are expended in purchasing the use of the franchise, tram all the electors who can be induced to sell themselves, exhibits a sad state of things, and indicates ill for the government of Canada, unless something special rises to turn the natural tendency and current of a policy which can adopt such wrong measures'.\t' A Christian minister, on one of the polling days in Toronto, accidentally came in contact with parties, and one was frankly aud openly offering another $50 for his vote.Another elector, a young man in business, was beset by persons wuo offered him first two dollars, aad then rose up to sovnnty-livo dollars for his vote.He was told that it was not usual for so large a sum to he offered geuerallv, but us the state of too poll th.-n was, $75 should be given him for h s vote ; while we nave lie,id ot oue elector octug offered a large sum if he would be silent \u2014not to vote at all\u2014when there was no probability of his vote being bought.Men who will do deeds like those to which we have alluded ; men who will condescend to have any part in inducing their fellow-men to sacrifice convictions and principle for the low sinister ends of meeting their personal aspirations ; men who will bo parties to infuse rivers of corruption into the great heart of tho body-politic, in order to gain seats intbelo-gislature, and bring about party ascendancy, are indeed unworthy tho positions th- y seek, unworthy the confidence of any po -pie, anti utterlj unworthy of the trust reposed in them to guide the welfare aud destiny of any country.And when place and power are attained by su A means, what can tho commonest common sense calculate as to the principles that are likely to guide niuu who thus rise to public places of responsibility' and trust.lion, was to be placed in trust, the income to be paid to Miss Robinson during her lile; the principal, on her decease, to go to some of the testator\u2019s relatives.Miss Robinson contests her aunt's will.This is, in itself, remarkable enough, seeing that the young lady, already the possessor of millions, is entitled, under it, to an annuity that would add some $60,Q0U or $70,000 to her annual income.What she cou-\u2022tends for is the whole of her aunt\u2019s estate, supposed to be worth two millions.The ground upon which she contests the will and codicil is noteworthy.Miss Howland had quaireled with her brother-in-law, the father of Miss Robinson, and being resolved, if possible, to exclude him from all share not only of her own property, but of his daughters also, she proposed, about September, 1850, to her niece then about twenty three years old, that if she ( Miss Robinson) would make a will so that her father should inherit no part of her property, she (Miss Howland) would, in return, make a will leaving everything to her niece ; the will of each to be deposited with the other and neither to make any other will without notice to the ether, and returning to that other her will.Miss Robinson agreed to this, and the wills were executed.But the subsequent will and codicil made by the aunt iu 1863 and 1864 were executed without notice to the niece.Thus arose a question ot law, a novel question in the couits of this country, namely, whether a contract for mutual wills, if proved, can be enforced as being without c msideration and against public policy and good morals But the most 1 ingular feature remains to be stated.To the will originally made by Miss Howland in favour of her niece there is an ad dition, sewed o-.with fine thread to the first page, not changing any provision of tho will, out a sort of protest bv the testator against the validity of any subsequent will which she, under undue influence from those around her, might be induced to make Part of the text is : \u201c I implore the judge to decide in favour of this \u201c will, as nothing could induce me to make a \u201c will unfavourable to my niece; but being ill, \u201c and an-aid, if any of mv caretakers insisted \u201c on my making a will, to refuse, as they \u201c might leave me or ho angry.«\t» « y \u201c give this will to my niece to show if absolute-\u201c iy necessary to have it appear against an-\u201c other will found after my death.\u201d Miss Robinson testifies, under oath, that she wrote this appendage to the will at the suggestion of her aunt, and that her aunt signed it in duplicate in her presence.The defence to this is nothing less than a charge oi forgery.It is denied that the signature to this additional page is genuine, aud alleged that it was copied by tracing from a signature (admitted to be genuine) of the testator to tho original will to which this appendage is found stitched.This opens up a field, in which not only questions of law but of science, and even of art, come up.Two skillful photographers have been employed for weeks ; and experts have expended mouths in comparing numerous signatures by tne same person, so as to determine the chances that any one person should write three signatures exactly alike.The testimony is to the effect that Miss Howland\u2019s signature to tne original and genuine will, and the two signatures to the appended paper, executed in duplicate, are in every letter and line and in the spaee.s between the three words, Sylvia Ann Howland, so precisely identical,that nothing but a deliberate purpose to make them so can explain the phenomenon, Mr.Crossman, for the defence, testifies that he has spent nearly five mouths in examining many hundreds of signatures of many well known persons ; comparing the co-incidence by superimposing one on the other on a glass in front or a window, aud also by tracing aud superim posing the tracings.He says there was greate-similarity in Miss Howland\u2019s signatures, forty or fifty of wnich he compared with each other, than in any other case ; and he considers the two signatures to the detached sheets to be genuine.Oa the other hand Mr.Southwortb, after similar [research, declares that the three signatures coincide with mathematical accuracy, not only letter for letter and space for space, but that \u2018each has the same slant to the base line of each paper,\u2019 so that the eye sees them parallel.His testimony covers fifty pages, and he pronounces the two contested signatures to be forgeries, executed by tracing.But the most curious testimony is that of Prof.Benjamin Pierce of Harvard College, one of the best mathematicians of the age, upon tho doctrine of chances.He said : \u201c He had had a large experience relating to the computation of chances ; that the mathematical discussion of the subject of coincidence of signatures had never, to his knowledge been proposed, but that it was not difficult, and a jiiimerical expression applicable to this problem, the correctness of which would be recognized by all the mathematicians iu the world, could readily be obtained.\u201d Then, having ascertained the relative frequency of coincidence by comparing numerous signatures of Miss Howland to bills of saie of vessels, , he concludes that, in her case, \u201c this phenomenon (of coincidence) would oc, cur only once in two thousand six hundred and Terrirlh Scaffold Scene.\u2014 A liorriblei scaffold scene occurred iu the prison yard of Jauer.Silesia.A young woman, not of the lowest class of population, was to bu behead .d for gratifying her jealousy of a former lover, by an act that had led to the death of several persons.The faithless man had deserted her and married another girl.The deserted mistress to revenge herself set fire to his house, and several persons perished in the llamc-s.She was ai retted, convicted, and sentenced to suffer doaih.On tho scaffold, just at the moment when the executioner bared her neck, and was about to fasten her to the fatal block she broke loose seized tho axe that was to cut off h r head, aud dtfied tho dumfuunded officer io take her.They rushed upon her, showered blows upon In r head, aud finally after she had slightly wounded some of them in the scuffle she was knocked down and handcuffed.Sho utterred wild terrible screams all the while, and the executioner and his men tried to dispatch her as quickly\u2019 as possible.They tore her dress from her shoulders tied her feet aud dragged her to the block.Although she still screamed, and resisted to the best cf her power, the leather strap oa the block by which the head of the victim is drawn forward.was soon slipped over it and the executioner seized the uxo Unfortunately the dreadful scene had made him quite nervous, aud, on striking her he missed her neck, and cut deeply into her shoulder and back.The blood rushed from the fearful wound, and the screams of (bo\tre- reading beyond Gescnptioa, dealt her a few seconds a stop to her sufferings.À second blow, afterwards, finally put A Gug/.t Excurs.on.\u2014Extensive preparations are being made over the border fora mammoth editorial excursion to the Rocky Mountains, via the Chicago and Northwestern Railway and the Union Pacific.It is intended to be tho most notable affair in that line ever seen on the continent.Excursionist generally go to see for tnemselves.These two hundred gentlemen go to furnish eyes for their million of readers.Only the genuine professional representatives of the press will share in the movement They will be catered tor on the cars, and daily paper will be issued.There has been some apprehension of interference from tho prairie tribes, but an exchange tries to allay solicitude on that head, by the assurance that as most editors are bald at an early age, there will be no special inducements held out to hostile red-skins to interfere with tho programme.A Singular Story.\u2014Tho Paris correspondent of the London Court Jotirnal writes :\u2014Tho real circumstances of the death of that charming and accomplished Princess, the one bright ray of sunshine amid the \"loom which hangs over the Austrian court, have been kept secret from the pubiic, but are well known to the ini-tatsd.Tho Princess, who had accepted (ho sacrifice which had been demanded of her, and consented to serve as a holocaust to appease tho god of disco d by uniting herself iu marriage with Prince Humbert, of Savoy, had been told the Prince\u2019s passion for smoking would render all companionship with him impcsrib'i- unhas she possessed the same fondncHs for the odnurof tobacco as the Duchess de Yah-ucay, who insisted on sitting with her hair combt-d down in her husband\u2019s smoking room so that her ringlets might be impregnated with tho fra-ranee.Now, so it happened that the Princess had a peculiar objection to that very odour and had been advised as the only meaas of combating it, to learn to smoke the mild segars used by the ladies of Havai a.Her apprenticeship had justbocun, but her father, tho Archduke Albert having expresstd his entire dislike of the unfeminine pastime, her practice was carried on in secret.The day of the f Hal event, which filled all Vienna with sorrow aud dismay, the Princess was standing in an open widow of the palace, endeavouring to overcome her disliko to tne cigar, by nuffing away with determined vigour when suddenly ht.r father appearing bo-low the balony, and looking up to salute her as he passed, she flung the burning end of tho cigar over her shoulder, lest he should perceive it, and bent low down to rctu.n his salute.Tho cigar had fallen among tho flounces of her muslin dress ; the movement had created a current of fresh air, and in an instant her dress was in flames.Is Man a Monkey.\u2014To those woo may not he inclined to clam relationship with tho gorilla or chimpanzee, the following summary of a paper ncently read to the Academy \u2022 f Sciences by M.Quar\u2019rolavcs may bo of some interest.The learned acadi-meci m had on that occasion to present a work by M.Arogt, on \u201c liicrocephali, or MouKeymen,\u201d the author meaning thereby human beings iu whom tho brain is exceedinglv small.The cases exumin-(d by him, being confined to specimens that have actually lived or tbat were still living are very rare.Those quoted from authors by M.Vogt do not exceed 4 > ; bis own inquires only enabled him to find ten instances of microcephalism comprising men, women aud children.After the anatomical descriptions, he proceeds to examine the cause of these abnormal growths, an 3 in so doing considers them to be owing to a tendency to return to the original formation of the human species.To this M.Quartrefages does not subscribe, sluco it leads to tho conclusion that man may have descended from the monkey ; and to refute it, he points to the fact specially remarked on by various physiologists, viz : that man is a walker, while the monkey is essentially a climber In these two groups the whole locomotive apparatus is therefore strikingly different ; the monkey can walk, but prefers climbing; man can climb but prefers walking.Tho labeurs of Duvernoy on the gorilla ; and of Gratiolot and Alix on the chimpanzee, show that the monkey typo as it approaches to perfection, developes the climbing faculty more and more ; and that tho contrary is the case with tho human type.M.Quartrefages then proceeds to explain that even if Darwin\u2019s theory of derivation be adopted, the phenomena in question, should according to that theory, be read differently.AVe knowa large number of terms of the Simian series.AVe see it ramified into secondary series, all equally tending towards the anthropomorphous type, and constituting, not the members of the same family, but ti e superior corresponding terms of three distinct ones.Notwithstanding ihe secondary modifications iutruduced by improvements of the same nature, the orang outaag, gorilla, and chimpai .zee still fundamentally remain monkeys\u2014U at is, climbers ; while man constantly preserv.s his distinctive quality of being a walker.\u2014 Oalignani.

port than m 1866.The difference in the tonnage, as compared with last year, is 14,118 tons less, and the number of vessels 76 less.Of the arrivals 100 were from the Lower Ports against 93 up to the same date in the previous year, which shews that the falling off is altogether in vessels from sea.Among the arrivals there were 36 ocean steamers against 33 up to the same date in 1866, showing that

$823,789.To this excess the articles under the head of Hardware and Free Goods\u2014the latter especially\u2014-have mainly contributed, the only articles under the head of Groceries showing an increase being those of Gin, Manufactured Tobacco, and Tea, the last named being $186,734 more than in 1866.The following articles show a considerable falling off in both quantity and value, viz.,

the week has ruled quiet in most departments.Groceries have not yet been moved to any extent, but as the harvest is now nearly completed, some animation in the ensuing week may he safely predicted.Fresh goods have not yet arrived, which has left those witli the balance of their Spring goods nothing else to work upon, the stocks of these being heavy enough to be healthy.Sugars are especially quiet, and Teas have only met a demand from local customers.There will, however, be 1 little movement in the last named article until the Fall sales have taken place, some of which are already advertised, and will take place early in October.Holders oi Iron are, in sympathy with the last advices from British and American markets evincing some firmness, and asking a shade higher prices.Best brands have advanced in the English markets ls^6d(pei\\ton, and, with a corresponding rise in the New York market, and high freights in Liverpool and Glasgow, prices are, at least in the meantime, likely to he sustained in this market.Boiler Plates and Tin Plates are also in good demand, holders being firm in their views, Some round parcels of the former have been placed at $3,20 to $3.25.Financial.\u2014For the payment of duties the past week, the demand for funds at the Banks hos been active, and the necessary accommodation granted on all fair to good paper at 7 to 8 per cent.The extent of the wants of commercial men has operated sufficiently to cause them to draw upon some of the Banks to the extent of their available means.There is, however, no scarcity at the leading Banking Institutions, some of which could discount a much larger amount of paper than that which is now offering.In the West money is beginning to circulate, and as the new crop begins to move, an active circulation will, no doubt, follow.Sterling Exchange is unsettled.The range of rates throughout the week wTas 91 to 10 prem., hut the New York market bavin given way this afternoon, it would be difficult to place Bank 60-day Bills at anything over 9| to 9J.The demand is light, and for the mail to-morrow the wants will not he large.Easier rates may therefore be anticipated.A good enquiry lias existed for securities of all kinds, full prices being paid for favourite Bank and other Shares.Buyers offer 133 for Montreal, but there are no sellers.Government 6?s are wanted at par, at which there are large sales reported.For Sterling G\u2019s 103 would he paid, but there are very few offering.Gold, after advancing to I46|, has declined to 145£.Produce.\u2014The market opened a week ago very sluggishly, those wanting flour buying only to meet immediate wants.In the face of this dullness there was some desire to sell out both wheat and flour, the latter especially, being offered at $7 to $7.05, at which sales took place, but only on a limited scale.On Saturday, prices still further receded, transactions being noted at $6.95 and $7.For this very sudden turn in the market, it seems almost impossible to give any reasonable cause, holders pressing their stuff on the market, while stocks were low, and comparatively little coming forward.However, a change in the state of the Western market, simultaneously with that of New York, imparted confidence here, and had the immediate effect of starting prices 30c to 12Jc higher for desir-aljle grades of Superfine.Since then large quantities of flour have changed hands at at $7.20 and $7.25, the latter being the price paid for a parcel of 1000 bbls City brand since \u2019Change hour.Among the causes which have brought about a reaction in the Market, are the scarcity of wheat on the .spot, a heavier demand for good Super, and light receipts.The sales of flour within the week amount to about 14,000 bbls,\tthe Market closing buoyant.A\treference to our ta- bles elsewhere show that the receipts as compared with the same period of last year, are about 1,400 bbls.less, while our shipments show an
