pieces of flesh were cut from their backs ; pieces of telegraph wire were stuck into their bodies ; their cars were out off and heads scalped.John Park, Deputy United fetates Marshal, reports that the Indians boiled tiic hearts of these men for medicine.The Swedish settlers who were attacked on Spillman Creek, all lived in one house, and only those were killed that left the house and attempted to reach a place of greater security.Those that remained in the house were not molested.This occurred in two or three instances.The calamity is mainly attributable to the lack of arms, for whenever a gun was fired tlie savages made no fight.The Indians drove off considerable stock.men believed to he unable to read.He and a number of Democrats got out a bogus Republican ticket, with the names of the Democratic candidates printed thereon, and tried to palm off tlie same on the ignorant.When tlie cheat was discovered the coloured people became incensed, and in their anger endeavoured to take the law into their own hands and punish the guilty parties.- This same man had also made himself obnoxious to many of the coloured men by reason of his having employed a large number to work on some contracts for street-paving, given him by a Republican Mayor, and having cheated them out of their wages.A number of coloured men who voted the Republican ticket yesterday, were to-day discharged by their employers for no further reason than that they had voted as they saw fit.The business firms guilty of this small and mean piece of business had the mortification of seeing their names printed in one of the newspapers this evening.¦\u2014Tribune.My Escape in 1837.BY THOMAS STORROW BROWN.THE A THRILLING SCENE.Wo briefly announced the terrible calamity which occurred to the canal boat M.G.Weatherbee, at Fort Miller dam, on Wednesday last by which the wife and child of Capt.Clark were drowned.The particulars of the affair possess a thrilling interest.It appears the Weatherbee, which wrs loaded with coal, was on the point of crossing the river, and Capt.Clark, with two hands, stepped ashore witli a rope to keep tlie stern of the boat near the dock, leaving no one on hoard except Mrs.Clark, and lier young child about eighteen months old.As the boat approached tlie break in tlie dam, where the current was very strong, the stern swung out into tlie stream, and got beyond tlie control of the Captain and his men, as their ropes were too short for the snubbing posts.The Captain\u2019s wife made every possible effort to give out more line, but owing to excitement, failed of success.They then tried to hold the boat with the tow line, but were compelled to cut it to keep from draw-; the horses into the water.As tlie boat came into tlie break Mrs.Clark took her child in her arms and cried \u201c Save mo ! save me ! save me !\" At this time some fifty or more men were on the shove near the boat, some telling lier to stick to the boat, and others to sit down.The lock-tender, Martin Freeman, in a truly brave spirit, started for her in a small rowboat.When lie came near Mrs.Clark hugging her child to her breast, jumped for the boat but failed to reach it.Freeman sprang for her, hut without success.The canal boat then went over the dam, followed by the small boat.Freeman saw Mrs.Clark but once after he went over tlie dam.His boat was capsized, and lie got on top, and so went over the second falls.He was several times thrown from the boat, the water striking with such force in his face that the blood gushed out from his nostrils.He floated clown the river half a mile, and was rescued by some men on the opposite shore.Captain Clark fainted and fell as his wife went over the dam.It is believed that his wife would have been saved if she had remained on tlie boat, as the boat grounded a short distance below the dam.\u2014 Troy Times.SAD TRAGEDY.Miss Nellie E.Dorsett, who is supposed to have committed suicide at Chicago, was the daughter of a wealthy merchant of New York, and tlie remarkable for her talents and beauty.Her story is the same that is told every day in our groat cities.She was tempted and fell, only to be deserted, by him who had basely betrayed her confidence A package of letters lias been found from which it appears that one George H.Butt had for a long time been endeavoring to gain her consent to an elopement.One of them is as follows, verbatim :\u2014 \u201c City, 2 B.M.Darling Nellie :\u2014I found your note at Mr.Moore\u2019s office an hour ago.Can it be possible that your father knows I am here ?If lie does we must act at once ; there is no time to be lost.It seems strange that lie should have detained you for that reason alone, and I very much fear he suspects you.You must not flinch, dearest; now that we are so near to each other and happy in the hope of soon being one.Nerve yourself to the trial, darling, and in a few hours we shall he away from he scenes of your vexations, rolling over the route towards the far, far West.I will do just as you suggest, and am glad to know that you are the brave and loving little girl I thought you.At twelve o\u2019clock I shall be at the corner with a carriage, and we will go from there to Cortiandt, street.The train leaves Jersey City early in the morning, and there will be no probability of detection.I will get a through ticket to Chicago, and will stop over at Pittsburg en rente about a week, so as to lead them astray should they follow us.I prefer to have the ceremony take place in Pittsburg, hut, of course, darling, will gladly grant any wish of yours.Midnight, and don\u2019t fail if you love me.George.\u201d The tryst was kept and tlie net folded about the unsuspecting girl.Once beyond the threshold of her home, all was lost.He deserted her, and here is lier piteous farewell letter, full of love and forgiveness to the last.It reads as follows :\u2014 \u201c Dear George.\u2014i t is not in anger I write to you now ; I have no curses to heap upon you but only love and forgiveness.Oh, George,\u2018if you had only known how fervently, passionately I love you, you would not have deserted me so cruelly.I left home, parents, everything for you, George, trusting to your love\u2014for you did love me once-and oil ! how my heart yearns for a return of its devotion.But I will not reproach you.I am aweary and shall soon be at rest, and God, perhaps, will forgive the error of a poor girl so unworthy of His love.I have left my watch for Mrs.Foster to send to mother.My rings and 3\u2019ourlittle locket I have put up in a package for you.I would not leave you, dear George, without a token of my love, and if this last act of mine shall touch your heart, I shall he happy in death.Pray for me.Good night, Good night.Nellie.\u2019 Sold in packets only by all Grocers, of whom also may be had Taylor Brothers\u2019 Original 110MŒ0PATHIC Cocoa and Soluble Chocolate.Steam Mills\u2014Brick Lane, London.January 19.\tIytl5 republican success at Washington city.Washington, June 8, 1869.The Republicans here are very jubilant over the result of yesterday\u2019s election.Their victory was overwhelming.They have 5,000 majority on the general ticket and have carried every ward in the city, thus placing the complete control of the City Government in their hands.The only thing to mar tlie glorious result was the unfortunate disturbance at the polls of the e-lection precincts.The accounts of the affair as given last evening were greatly exaggerated.It appears, to-day, that the cause of the disturbance was not simply the voting of a Democratic ticket by a coloured man.This man whom the disorderly persons attempted to mob is accused of being a party to an attempted fraud on those coloured THE BOSTON ADVERTISER ON CHANCE OF WAR.When tlie Gloucester boy who saw his father's fishing vessels burned off Eastern Point goes to war with England for reparation, ho will be older, if not wiser, than lie is now.There are important steps to he taken before tlie coveted opportunity could possibly occur ; and in those times no one can tell what may have become of the boy, tlie father, or legal adviser, when they have been taken.In making up a cause of quarrel, it is also to be considered, that King James\u2019s slave-ships, the Hessian subsidies, and the Indian allies, cannot be brought into account.For though they ran up a formidable score in their day, the account with them lias been for some time settled.The boy must stick to the fishing vessels ; and if they fail to furnish materials for war, the history of the settlement oi the country and of the revolutionary war will he of little use to him.It is a circumstance open to suspicion that, with these bold statesmen who snuff the battle from afar, tlie conduct of Great Britain during the rebellion plays a comparatively subordinate part.It is not easy, when tlie necessity of an equitable and adequate settlement has been practically conceded, and the basis of settlement is still a subject of negotiation, to excite the martial ardour of a people just recovering from the effects of an unusually wasteful and exhausting war.The apprehension is well grounded that if this question, serious as it has become, were left to be adjusted by the means which usually avail between civilized nations, without artificial excitement, there would he no thought of war until the majority of men took leave of their senses.And nothing shows so clearly the want of confidence w'hich these great warriors have in it themselves as their ingenuity in joining with it old causes of quarrel which were fiery enough i 11 their time, but were burned to ashes and blown away several generations ago.It is a cause for profound satisfaction that the issues of this present dispute are not in the control of the English newspapers and the few public men in America who respond to them so cordially.The question on oui-part is still in the hands of an administration chosen in the interest of peace, and capable of seeing that the forcible seizure oi the provinces, or retaliation on English commerce, would afford no compensation for the losses we sustained and the injuries we suffered.It is in the hands of discreet men w ho have taken no steps to justify the excitement on either side of the Atlantic, and are sure to take none which ought at this stage of the negotiations to suggest the possibility of war.The loose and reckless talk about it can undoubtedly do harm in man y wavs, and not the least in unsettling confidence in the ability of the government to conduct its affairs, and in accustoming tlie public mind to methods of redress which should he reserved for the last resort.It may also embarrass whatever negotiations may ho entered upon hereafter, as tlie talk of repudiation embarrassed the public credit.But the country has survived many dangers from within and without, and is still in as hopeful a state as ever.The Gloucester fishermen may count upon the profits of at least a few seasons more before they are required to fight to recover their own or to square the accounts of the first Virginia slave-ships and the Hessians and Indians of the revolution over again.THE CRAIG-SPRAGUE CASE.In this case, which is exciting so much interest in the West, the defendant\u2019s case is that the refusal to marry plaintiff was based upon lier confession of a previous seduction and abortion.Evidence of a strong kind corroborative of that of the defendant himself was adduced, and, according to the paper, has not at tlie latest stages of tlie trial been rebutted.The exceptional feature in the trial, is in regard to the testimony of a physician.A doctor was called to testify that admissions had been made to him confidentially by the plaintiff, of a kind seriously to damage her character.The doctor directed by tlie court that he must reveal everything not tending to criminate himself, gave some guarded answers which tended to imply a doubt of the chastity of the plaintiff.After being fined twenty-five dollars for contempt in prolonged hesitation at some questions, he positively refused to answer as to the results of his medical ex, aminations.For this lie was sent to gaol-remaining there at tlie date of our latest reports, after the arguments had begun.The effect of the answers lie did make, and of his refusal to testify beyond a certain point, however, tended seriously to injure Miss Craig\u2019s case ; and her counsel preferred to take tlie ground that his testimony was false; that tlie plaintiff had never consulted him at all, that he was suborned by the defendant, and that his refusals to proceed came-from a tardy reluctance to blast tlie character of a virtuous woman.The arguments of the counsel in the case, so far as they have gone, seem to mingle the well-known traits of western rhetoric with some of the legal acuteness of Sergeant Buzfuz.DOMINION NEWS.The Calves Sucking.\u2014The Globe under the head of local grants thus discourse of the sucking calf business to which its proprietor has committed tlie country in spite of his own warning against it :\u2014Tile question opened by the grant of $22,000 for dredging tlie harbour of St.John, N.B., is constantly recurring in the House of Commons.-The other evening, when the estimates were under consideration, three divisions were had upon questions arising out of local grants from the Dominion Treasury.In each case, of course, the vote was largely in favour of the grant.Nothing else could be looked for in such a House ak present.But these appropriations should be a warning to the country.If the system should be inaugurated, it will lead to tire renewal of the extravagance, log-rolling, and corruption which prevailed prior to Confederation.The Dominion cannot afford to undertake the dredging and keeping in repair all tlie harbours of the country.It ought not to undertake tlie maintenance of hospitals.Yet, if the Government begin by exceptional grants for St.John for the harbour, and for Quebec for the hospital, it will not he long without proposing similar grants for other places.These appropriations will he the subject of political pressure, and will be given as tlie reward of support in Parliament.Thedrainupon tlie Treasury of the Dominion will be constant and serious, while the scramble for these grants will demoralize people and representatives alike.We observe that the discussion of this grant to St.John harbour lias called out a demand for an appropriation for the dredging of the harbour of Belleville.The local papers explain that, when the Dominion Government has been asked to provide for this work, the reply has always been that the work was a local one.The point is made that dredging Belleville harbour is no more a local work than the dredging of St.John harbour\u2014which is undeniable\u2014and a demand is made that $10,000 shall be given for Belleville.We should much rather see tlie argment put tlie other way, and the demand made that all the harbours should he treated alike.Let them all he left to depend upon local revenues for dredging.It may be true enough that the Dominion has control of the harbourss, and that it can legislate in reference to them\u2014but it will never do to have them all supported from the Dominion Treasury.That would be ruinous.ConversasJmn should be enlivened with wit, not composed ov it.(From the New Dominion Monthly.) One brigade of troops under Col.Gore had been driven back from St.Denis; another under Col.Wetberall bad fallen back from St.Charles to Montreal; and a third under Col.Gore, directed against St.Denis, had reached St.Ours, nine miles distant.Doctor Wolfred Nelson saw that, there being no rising elsewhere, we were drawing the whole force of Government to our district; and that, though we might maintain ourselves in force, still we must retreat, and draw the troops after us, whereby there might he much useless sacrifice of life and property.The armed men were therefore directed to disperse quietly to their homes for the present, and b e in readiness to assemble at the first signal.For our two\u201dselves, a free pardon had, by a communication intercepted by us, addressed to the Rev.Mr.Demers, cure of St.Denis, been offered to all others on condition of our being delivered into the hands of the Government, and we felt no ambition to become a vicarious sacrifice for the political sins of the Richelieu district.We also rightly imagined that tlie representative of Royalty in Quebec might, in his desire for a nearer view of two individuals who had caused so much disquiet, offer a price for our heads that would render them a marketable commodity.From these considerations we determined on retiring to the States.On Friday, the first of December, about thirty agreed to meet at dark at a farmhouse, about a mile in the rear; but at the hour «nly seven appeared,\u2014Nelson, myself, Dr.Kimber (of Chambly), Captain Jalbert, Rodolphe Desrivieres, Simeon Marchessault, and Doctor Ducheshois (if there was another 1 have forgotten his name.) Dnc) lesnois, on horseback, went safely throug h by the way of Stanstead.The rest star ted in three carts, but had not got far v/hen one of the horses, the same that'threw me at St.Charles, overturned Jalbert and his companion into the ditch, broke the cart, and galloped back, leaving two carts for six passengers.Passing through St.Cesaire, about daylight, we were pushing on towards the Townships, when a man on the road told us we were rushing into 11 Le gueule du loup\" the wolf\u2019s jaws, as guards were stationed on the road to intercept gentlemen moving on our especial business, and that it would be necessary for us to go through the woods with the passes of which he was acquainted.Returning to St Cesaire, we were furnished with a glorious breakfast by the miller, and crossing to the woods, on tlie right or north side of the Yamaska river, we continued walking until nightfall, when we found ourselves in a tremendous \u201cwind fall,\u201d\u2014the fallen trees crossed in every direction, through which we forced ourselves, like small fish through a salmon net, till we arrived at a swamp, when darkness brought us to a stop.The proximityof some cabins in a clearing prevented us making a fire.To compensate for the loss of sleep during the last forty-eight hours, I had the consolation of getting my back against a tree, with my knees drawn up to keep my feet out of the water, which agreeable position was disturbed about midnight by a violent pain, that continued till morning.At daylight our march was resumed.The outer world was fair and beautiful, but in the forest, the constant dripping of big, half-congealed drops from the branches, was like a shower bath from an ice house.This forest was not like an upland wood where you move among majestic trees, and tread upon dry leaves; but a level where the cold soil throws the roots of the trees to the surface, to he overthrown by every wind, in every direction, while small brushwood grows up in every little opening thus created.Your course is a continued climbing over, or creeping under, fallen logs, or swimming through a quick set hedge of brushwood, with the expedition of a fly through a saucer of honey.Underneath, the ground is spongy, leaving water in every footstep.One half the surface was covered with little pools, which, being slightly frozen over, kept one in constant terror between hope and alternate changes of joy and sorrow, as his feet sank or remained firm on the treacherous surface.Onward we pushed; and at night, choosing a dry spot we kindled a fire, collecting hemlock branches for our beds, dried our clothes, and passed the night.For food we had found through the day a few small turnips which the owner appeared to have left on the field for the gleaners, after the precept of the Levitical law.For drink, the swamp-pools furnished abundance, that we drank after the fashion of animals,\u2014bending down to it.On Monday, early, we reached the skirt of the wood, when, to our horror, our guide, a little in advance, came running back, saying we were close upon a village, where he saw armed men.Like Natty Butnpo he had lost his way in the \u201cclearings.\u201d Retracing our steps about a mile, we came to a rapid on the north branch of the Yamaska river, where Nelson, who was of Kentuckian fame, dashed into the water; and, fording across, called us to follow.By comparing the water line on his body with a section of corresponding height upon our own, we saw that the experiment with ourselves would approach too nearly to the submarine, and therefore, listened to our guide\u2019s suggestion, that there was a better crossing lower down.By moving to this place we became separated from Nelson, whom we saw not again; and on reaching it our guide, upon pretence of looking a little further, got out of sight, and deserted us forever.My companions, tired of wandering in the woods,\u201cdetermined on returning to the French settlements, while 1 insisted on proceeding to the States.Roused by tlie barking of a dog, we found ourselves towards evening close to 'a loghouse, in a small clearing.I insisted upon going to it, instead of making another of those everlasting turns in the woods, to avoid it,\u2014such as we had practised for the last three days.My companions remonstrated,\u2014the dog barked louder,\u2014they hurried back into the forest, and I towards the house, and found myself alone.Nelson, after wandering about for a week, was captured in the woods near Waterloo.The others, after secreting themselves in some houses near where West Famham now is, set out again for the States, and were captured near the lines.It was Monday night, and, except a few raw potatoes and turnips,\u2014we had had no eatables since Saturday morning.Before leaving St.Denis, I had, in addition to old bruises, lamed one of my feet.The fall from my horse at St.Charles having nearly broken a rib, my side was much inflamed; and my companions, perhaps, did not regret separating from a slow traveller.On approaching the cabin, I found the only inmate was an Irishwoman.Her husband was, she said,away; though I suspected that having seen our armed party, he was hid under some neighbouring logs.She hadfnothing to eat but potatoes, which she charitably offered to boil but, as she mentioned there was a \u201cYankee\u201d living a mile lower down, declining her preferred hospitality, 1 proceeded by a beaten path to his \u201cclearing.\u201d On approaching the house, how grateful to my ears was the Yankee voice of the wife scolding her children! On entering the log dwelling which was one room, without a chimney, but with a tremendous pile of wood burning upon a hearth, from which the smoke escaped through a hole in the roof, I asked for some bread and milk.The woman eyeing me suspiciously \u201cguessed\u201d she had none,-\u2014\u201cthe children had eat it all iq)\u201d 1 had, however, hardly felt the grateful influence of the blazing fiire, when a bowl of milk with bread was placed beside me, and at the same moment the frying-pan was hissing on the tire, with fresh pork.O woman ! whether in city palace, or the log-hut of a lone forest \u201cclearing,\u201d in spite of your vagaries, how universally does the spontaneous impulse ever or whenever distress makes its ap peal ! Only imagine your adoration of a being, though shoeless, who, with intuitive perception of your wants, pro vides you a dinner of hot pork chop, with a desesrt of bread and milk, after three days\u2019 fasting.The husband soon arrived, dark and suspicious, like one who had his own reasons for privacy in the forest, and was doubtful of the object of intruders.I professed no knowledge of Canadian affairs, but spoke knowingly of swamp lands and pine timber, as if I was \u201cpro specting\u201d for the saw-logs.He was incredulous; but said each could be true to one another.There were nine children in the family.A.little girl remarked there were \u201cplenty of children, but nothing to put on them.\u201d In summer, the absence of neighbours to make uncharitable remarks, made clothing of less consequence; and in winter they could stay in the house.The squatter was, however, industrious, and may have since had a good farm.The big boys in the evening split long shingles for covering a barn, and the father shaved them.One room, with the garret, served for the dwelling and lodging of all.I slept in a bunk among the smaller children, who knotted up like a nest of eels, quite oh livious to any impropriety of lying heads and jioints.The woman would take no pay, but said, when I insisted on her accepting two dollars, \u201cI do want a pair of shoes.\u201d On Tuesday morning, after a hearty breakfast, 1 crossed the north branch of the Yamaska in a canoe.Three miles walk in the woods brought me to the south branch, up which I walked, until I found another canoe in a clearing, and I was ferried over by a Canadian woman.Proceeding until three o\u2019clock, I reached a clear, cultivated country; and, lying down in a point of woods, slept till dark.My lameness had become extremely painful, but 1 hobbled along a road leading south.That was always my course,\u2014 easily followed in the woods; as the moss is on the north side of the trees, and the tendency of the limbs is to the south.This was as plain as giude-boards, and I have always wondered how people can \u201cwander,\u201d -or get lost in the woods.Arrived at Cowansville, I waited for a man approaching to come up, and enquired the way to Dunham.He directed, me to cross.Forgetful of my lameness, I did cross, and walked briskly for more than a mile, .over the rough frozen ground, when I sank exhausted.There were buildings at the bridge, lighted up, and hence my diligence in passing them.I was afterwards told that a guard kept there had gone m to warm, Again walking on, fatigue at midnight compelled 1 me to resort to a couch in the top of an old fallen hemlock tree, where the scraggy, hard branches afforded so little shelter, that I awoke at daylight fairly stiff with cold.Following the road for a short, distance, at the sight of farm-houses, from the chimneys of which white smoke was issuing high into the cold air, 1 struck into the woods, thinking to strike a road leading to Stanbridge, where I had friends.Coming to a log-house, I asked the way to Dunham, (which I wished to avoid).\u201cWhy, there,\u201d said the man; and sure enough, it was on my left, apparently not half a mile distant Again, I pushed back into the woods.The man went soon to the village, and, I wras afterwards informed, was told he would have made his fortune had he stopped me.For four hours, I trudged in the woods, turned one way by coming to openings, and another by the noise of wood-choppers, or ox drivers, and emerged for food to a house that appeared, isolated, where I found that in the whole time 1 had only gained about fifty rods in direct distance.One of my legs having become useless, my supporters had performed the action of a pair of dividers\u2014one leg standing still, while the other walked round it.Rested and refreshed, I continued my route till near dark, when I passed through a clearing, the place of future farms, with five log houses.Inquiring at the last one for a wood-road leading towards Stanbridge, I again entered the forest, and fired my carbine, as if looking for game, and sank exhausted.The leg that had been dragged all day, not only refused to be dragged any longer, but the other, which had so patiently endured the toil, refused to drag it.With such mutinous members, and a snow storm commencing, the greatest of all dangers was remaining thus unsheltered for the night, and I turned back to the first house, determined to risk it with the best story I could devise, As I approached, I met the owner, to whom I said, quite unconcerned : \u201cI was going through the woods to Truax Mills, but it looks so much like a snow-storm, that I would like to get lodgings in your house.\u201d He looked an instant in my face, and exclaimed: \u201cBrown! I know you; but here you have four friends, and are safe.I have just come from the \u2018Flat\u2019 (Dunham village).You were seen this morning.There is ten thousand dollars offered, and they are all after you.Old Captain Smith was fixing his old gun.I told the old cuss it wouldn\u2019t go off ; but he swore he\u2019d shoot you if he see'd you.I dare\u2019nt take you into my house.\u201d All this was hurriedly uttered, almost in one breath, as he dragged me hastily by the shoulder to his barn.A council of the four friends was called on the barn-floor.They could devise no means of escape except walking immediately across the fields or woods, ten miles, to the lines.This' I modestly informed them was impracticable, unless they provided for me a new pair of legs.A thick quilt, and a good supper was brought,and I remained two nights and one day in a hole, burrowed far into the hay mow.What a contrast with my previous night\u2019s lodging on the snow, under an old hemlock top,\u2014I don\u2019t forget what a scraggy one it was,\u2014how few the branches, and how few the leaves! Young hemlock furnishes capital bedding.I never enjoyed any bed-room like that nest in the hay.The swelling of my limbs diminished rapidly.Let those who speak of \u201clow\u201d people, and \u201clower classes,\u201d think of the high honor and high mindedness of these four poor but independent men, perfect strangers, not one of whom 1 had ever seen or heard of before.The two thousand dollars really offered for my apprehension would have paid off the arrears on all theiijland, and left them a surplus ; but not one entertained the thought, while hundreds, higher uj) in the world\u2019s catalogue, would have sold me like a dog, not for \u201cloyalty,\u201d but for gain,\u2014to be wasted in frivolities.But luxuries must have their end.The furnishing of food necessarily caused the secret of my hiding-place to be known to the woman of the house, who, finding it too weighty, called on others to help them keep it.I moved for one day to another barn.My friend said it was dangerous to stop longer.He had heard a man say ho would bet twenty-five cents that I was in one of the Warns of that neighbourhood.My boots were greased, a thick pair of stockings provided, a good supper eaten, and with a young man for guide, I set out on Friday evening, the 8th of December, to finish my journey to the States.By the roads it was ten miles to the lines, but supposing they were guarded, we passed through the fields apd woods.The snow was some inches deep; and, through weakness, I was obliged to rest frequently.Great precaution was necessary as we apprdached the lines, my guide going frequently ahead to inquire our whereabouts, at farm-houses, whose inmates were rather gruff at the rude awakening.About daylight we reached Chaftey\u2019s, the first house in Berkshire, Vermont, about one hundred rods outside of Canada, which I entered with the first feeling of security I had known for some time.I was now free.Hardly was I seated when my host brought a Montreal newspaper, and, pointing to a proclamation offering two thousand dollars reward for my apprehension, inquired if I was the man?I told him I was, and that able, had he found me a few minutes earlier,\u2014a few hundred yards further north.The last nine days had been long, but I cannot say they were unpleasant, for there is cheerfulness under any circumstances, if one is buoyed up with hope and determination.MESSRS.LAIRD BROTHERS AND THE ALABAMA.of compassion gild your character, what I tjie imformation might have been valu ( To the Editor of the Times.) Sir,\u2014We have hitherto refrained from answering any of the attacks made upon us as builders of the Alabama, not wishing to pre-j jdice in any way the negotiations entered into between the Government of this country and the United States, if they had been concluded in a satisfactory manner, would probably have led to an inquiry into all the circumstances connected with the build-l of ships and supply of war materials by various parties to Northern and Southern belligerents during the American war, and thereby have given us an opportunity of explaining tlie part we took in building and delivering the Alabama in this port.The Johnson-CTarendon Convention having been rejected by tlie United States we think the time has come to remove tlie erroneous impressions that have prevailed on this subject, as it cannot he to.the advantage of the country that unfounded statements as to this one transaction should remain imcontradictcd, and he used adversely to this country, while the larger question of the assistance in naval, military, and other supplies rendered to the North as well as the South during tlie war should he hushed up.The allegations made, and so often repeated that many people believe them, are ¦that we not only built, hut armed, manned, and equipped the Alabama to cruise gainst tlie Northern States, and therefore committed an illegal act ; and that to induce us to enter into such arrangements we were paid an extravagant price for the ship and machinery.We shall therefore proceed to show that these statements are unfounded, and that tlie contract to build the Alabama was entered into by us in the usual course of our business as a mere commercial transaction, and at a price moderate for vessels of lier class, the firm which we now represent having for upwards of 30 years been in the habit of building vessels of war for our own Government, for foreign Governments direct, and for the agents of foreign Governments.The Alabama was built in our works, where about 2,500 men were at that time employed, without any secrecy, and during her building was constantly inspected by visitors from various parts of tlie world, and by the officers of Her Majesty\u2019s Customs, as proved by the following report from Mr.Morgan, Surveyor of Her Majesty\u2019s Customs, Liverpool, dated the 28th of June, 1862 :\u2014 \u201c The officers have at all times free access to the building yard of the Messrs.Laird, at Birkenhead, where the said vessel is now lying, and there lias been no attempt on the part of her builders to disguise, what is most apparent to.all, that she is intended for a ship of war.\u201d\u2014Alabama Papers, March 24, 1863.When ready she was launched and taken into our graving dock, to have her machinery put on hoard and to he masted and rigged.On the.12th of June this work was so far advanced that tlie vessel was taken for a trial trip outside tlie port, and all being found satisfactory was brought back to our graving dock to be completed.On the 12 th of July, more than a fortnight before she left the Mersey, she was moved from our works and placed in tlie Great Float public dock at Birkenhead, to which all parties have access, and was there supplied bv the purchaser with coals and provisions for her voyage.There was no haste or secrecy ohsi rved in any of these operations, and had there been anything i llegal in the build or in the fitting of the ship there was ample time and opportunity for the Government then to have seized her.They did not do so, although they were informed on the 21st of July by their officers that she appeared to he ready for sea,and might leave at any hour she pleased.This appears by the following extract from a letter addressed by the Collector of Customs, Liverpool, to tlie Commissioners of Customs, London, and dated tlie 21st of July, 1862, a week before the ship left the dock :\u2014 \u201cI shall feel obliged by the Board being pleased to instruct me by telegraph how I am to act, as tlie ship appears to he ready for sea, and may leave at any hour ghe pleases.\u201d It would, in fact, appear that the intention of the Government to detain the ship was based not on the character or condition of the ship herself, hut beciwise a man named Passmore and two others made affidavits that there were engaged to serve on hoard her, although they did not state that they were engaged by tlie builders.Sir Roundell Palmer, on the 27th of March, 1863, alludes to this as follows :\u2014 \u201c But 1 wish the House to understand that in those depositions there was a.great mass of hearsay evidence, which, taken by itself, could not form the basis of any action.Oi the six depositions transmitted on the 22d of July only one was good for anything at all\u2014viz., the evidence of a person named Passmore, which was sufficient to prove the material facts.Two more were sent, corroborating Passmore, on the 24tli, and were received by Earl Russell on the 26til.\u201d And Mr.Sumner alludes to : Passmore\u2019s affidavit in iiis speech of April, 1869.If it had been true (of which, however, there is no proof) that these men had been engaged to serve on hoard, tlie.parties so engaging them would have been involved pecuniary penalties, for payment of win the ship might have been detained until tho penalties were satisfied, or good hail given.See copy of letter from the Commissioners of Customs to the Collector of Customs, Liverpool, dated 22d July/l862, viz.:\u2014 \u201cWe acquaint you that we have communicated with our solicitor on tlie subject, who has advised us that the evidence submitted is not sufficient to justify any steps being taken against the vessel under either the 6th or 7th section of the Act 59 George III., cap.69, and you are to govern yourself accordingly.The solicitor has, however, stated that if there should he sufficient evidence to satisfy a Court of enlistment of individuals, they would he liable to pecuniary penalties, for security of which, if recovered, this department might detain the ship until those penalties are satisfied or good hail given ; hut there is not sufficient evidence to require the Customs to prosecute.It is, however, competent for the United States\u2019 Consul, or any other person, to do so at his own risk if they she fit.\u201d The United States\u2019 Consul did not, however, avail himself of this power to prosecute.A week elapsed after the opinion was given by tlie Solicitor of Customs in London, and the Collector of Customs in Liverpool had reported that the ship appeared to be ready for sea, and might leave at any hour she pleased, and she still remained in the Birkenhead public dock.We were not requested by the Government to detain tlie ship, and on the afternoon of the 28 th she was moved from the berth in the Great Float, and the same evening was undocked and came to anchor in tho river, off the public landing stage in Liverpool, until the morning of tlie 29th of July, when she left the river about ten o\u2019clock.At this time the Alabama had not on board any part of her armament, ammunition, or warlike stores, as shown by the Surveyor of Customs\u2019 report, July 30, i 862 : \u201c I have only to add that your directions to keep a strict watch on the said vessel have been carried out,\u2018and I write in the fullest confidence that she left this port without any part of her armament on hoard.She had not as much as a signal gun or musket.\u201d-\u2014Alabama Papers, March 24, 1863.We here draw special attention to the fact that we did not supply, or engage to supply, the Alabama either before or after she left tlie Mersey with any part of her armament, provisions, coals, or warlike stores of any description, or engage any men to serve on board her, or to join her after she left the port.We merely completed a contract to build and deliver an unarmed and unequipped ship in the port of Liverpool.We were never informed by tlie purchaser of the Alabama of tlie arrangements he had made for manning, arming, equipping, and commissioning that vessel at a foreign port, nor had we any idea of her having gone to the Azores until that fact was generally known by the public.Our opinion as to the legality of building and delivering the ship in the way we did may not he of much value, hut we submit that the opinion of some of tlie most eminent lawyers of the day should have weight, and we, therefore, give the following, on a case submitted to them some months after the Alabama had left Liverpool :\u2014 \u201cOpinions of Mr.Mellish, Sir Hugh Cairns, \u201cand Mr.Lemplay, as to the legality of \u201cbuilding the Alabama.\u201d \u201cI am of opinion that Messrs.Laird had a right to build the ship which has since been called the Alabama in the manner they did, and that they have committed no offence against either the common law or tlie Foreign Enlistment Act with re-ference to that siup.I am of opinion that the simple building of a ship, even although the ship be of a kind apparently adapted, for warlike purposes, and delivering such ship to a purchaser in an English port, even although the purchaser is suspected or known to he the agent of a foreign belligerent Power, does not constitute an offence against the Foreign Enlistment Act, 59 George III., cap.60, sec.7 on the part of the builder, unless tlie builder makes himself a party to the equipping of the vessel for warlike purposes.The Alabama, indeed, appears to me to have been equipped at the Azores, and not in England at all.\u201cGeorge Mellish.\u201c3, Harcourt-building, Feb.6, 1863.\u201d \u201cWe entirely concur in tho opinions given by Mr.Mellish on the statements laid before him, and our opinion would not he altered if the fact were that Messrs.Laird Brothers knew they were building tlie Alabama for an agent of the Confederate Government.\u201cH.M.Cairns, Jakes Kemplay.\u201cApril 17, 1863.\u201d We also give the opinion of Chief Baron Pollock on the trial of the Alexandra, June, 1863 : \u2014 \u201cMany allusions in the course of this case had been made to tlie Alabama ; but he held that as tlie vessel left Liverpool unarmed, and as a simple ship, she committed no unlawful act ; and we had nothing to dd witli the fact that at a subsequent period she was armed and converted into a vessel of war at Tereeira.\u201d We have stated that the Alabama left the Mersey an unarmed ship, and was not fitted or furnished as a man-of-war.This is confirmed by the following extracts from tlie letters and speeches of Lord Clarendon and Sir Roundell Palmer (the Solicitor-General).Lord Clarendon\u2019s letter to Mr.Adams, December 2nd, 1865, quoted by Earl Russell in his speech, March 27th 1868 : \u201cIt is, nevertheless, my duty, in closing this correspondence, to observe that no armed vessel departed during the war from a British port to cruise against the commerce of tlie United States.\u201d Solicitor-General, Sir Roundell Palmer\u2019s, speech in the House of Commons, March 27, 1863:\u2014 \u201c It was not till the Alabama reached tlie Azores that she received her stores, her captain, or lier papers, and that she hoisted the Confederate flag.It is not true that she departed from the shores of this country as a ship armed for war.\u201d Lord Palmerston also, in the debate of the 27th of March, 1863, makes the following statement : \u2014 \u201c I have myself great doubts whether, if we had seized the Alabama, we should not have been liable to considerable damages.It is generally known that she sailed from this country unarmed and not properly fitted out for war, and that she received her armament, equipment, and crew in a foreign port.Therefore, whatever suspicious we may have had\u2014and they were well founded as it afterwards turned out\u2014as to the intended destination of the vessel, her condition at that time would not have justified a seizure.\u201d And the views he then expressed were proved to be correct by the result of the trial in the Alexandra case, which vessel was released after the decision of the House of Lords, and j£3,700 damages and costs by the Government to the owners.\u2014See memorandum attached to Earl Russell\u2019s letter to Mr.Adams, dated November 3, 1865 :\u2014 \u201c Tlie trial ended in the discharge of tho vessel, and the costs and damages having been compromised for £3,700 she was delivered to the owners.She was then sent to Nassau, where she was again tried on a similar charge of violation of the Foreign Enlistment Act, and again acquitted.\u201d We now come to the question of the price paid for the Alabama and her machinery.The price we received for constructing the hull, masts, rigging, sails, anchors, cables, and general mercantile outfit of the Alabama and her machinery was less than the cost of similar vessels m her Majesty\u2019s service, although she was built and her engines made in every respect equal to them.The details of the price we are quite willing to give to Her Majesty\u2019s Government, should they desire it.It has been stated that in the conduct of our business in these transactions we sought our own gain, irrespective of municipal or international law, thereby endangering the relations between this country and Ameri \u2022 ca.The opinions of eminent statesmen and lawyers we have quoted show tlie building of the Alabama to have been in accordance with the existing laws of England, in 1861, when we undertook to contract; and for long after, there \"/as nothing to show that our doing so was at variance with the opinions of our own countrymen and the practice of foreign nations-.But in 1864 other questions had arisen as to tlie rights of neutrals and belligerents, which rendered it apparent that a strict interpretation of the existing law would not satisfy those whose interests were affected, and in that year we declined to accept an order to build a large ironclad vessel for an agent of the Confederate Government, although one condition of tlie contract was to have been that the ship should not he delivered until tlie conclusion of the war.The cost, however, was to he paid us by instalments, in such a way and so secured as to make it for us a perfectly safe and profitable commercial transaction ; and we were advised by the best authority that there was nothing in our municipal or international law to prevent us taking the contract.Our private gain here was willingly sacrificed, because we felt that, from the complications that had arisen in reference to neutral and belligerent rights, a strict interpretation of the law might tend to aggravate the then existing differences! between til's country and tlie American Government, and had there been the same feeling on the subject in 1861 the Alabama would not have been built by us.We have given these facts and quoted these opinions as to the building of the Alabama to clear that transaction from the erroneous statements with which it has been surrounded.It cannot be to the interest of this country to allow public opinion to turn on imperfect information ; and as the Johnson-(Jlarendon Treaty has been rejected, an inquiry instituted by a Royal Commission or a committee of the House of Commons into the support given to the North and South during the war, in referrence to ships, warlike stores, guns ammunition, armour-plates, and the enlistment of men to serve for either of tlie belligerents, would tend to place all the matters in dispute clearly before the British Parliament and people, and enable them to approach any further negotiations with the United States on a more satisfactory basis than they have hitherto done.Should a general enquiry of this kind he decided on we shall ho glad to gi ve any information and assistance in our power.It is constantly asserted in America, and by many persons in this country, that Mr.J.Laird, M.P.for Birkenhead, was the builder of the Alabama.There is not the ease, as Mr.Laird\u2019s interest in our firm ceased before the Alabama was built, and some time before his election to serve in Parliament ; hut we may add that Mr.Laird knew we were building this ship, and for whom we were building her.We must apologise for the length of this letter, hut hope that the importance of the subject will justify our requesting its insertion.We are, respectfully, your obedient servants, LAIRD BROTHERS.Birkenhead Ivon Works, Birkenhead, May 25.\u2014One hundred and fifty million dollars it is stated,

operating at Uni-acke, in Nova Scotia, under the Presidency of Mr.T, M.Bryson, of this city, has received another bar of gold of the weight of fifty ounces as the product of their mines for May.It is said that the Cubans in ATasliington now urge that there is no government in Cuba but the Lc-publican Government, under Ces-pedes ; the successor to Dulce being the mere nominee of an armed mob, and demand recognition accordingly.The Gallantry of Western Juries.\u2014The jury before which the case of Craig against Sprague was tried, lias gallantly awarded the fair plaintiff damages to the amount ol $100,000.Gentlemen who have money in that part of the Continent ought to lock themselves up from even the sight or hearing of the fair sex, with as much jealousy as that of the Bristol man, who, foredoomed to die of a serpent bite, secluded himself from snakes in the upper story of his tower.Nevertheless, the snake got in and the man died; and we are afraid that the utmost precautions might turn out to be insufficient to bar the way to a damsel determined upon one ol the two alternatives of a husband, or $100,000.Cuba.\u2014The fuller particulars ol the military insurrection in Cuba which we have in our New York exchanges, reveals a singular state ol anarchy.The native inhabitants are largely in revolt against the Spanish Government in one part of the Island, while the Captain-General, the depositary of Spanish authority, has been driven from the seat of Ids government at the capital by the violence of the volunteers, chiefly natives ol Spain, who had been enlisted lor the maintenance of the Spanish authority.The Captain-General was not, it seems, blood-thirsty enough for the volun teers, who, moreover, accused bis Cuban wife of being- an insnrg-ent.and of influencing her husband to lenient counsels.The whole adair displays an utter want of organized strength on the part of what we may call the Imperial Government of Cuba.Public Printing.\u2014The Joint Com.mittee on Printing, to whom the House of Commons referred back its first report, recommending the acceptance of the tender of Messrs.Hunter and Rose, the present Parliamentary printers, have agreed to a second report.They say that they advertized for tenders without binding themselves to accept the low' est, and that they rejected the lowest because they found that many of the prices were insufficient for the mere payment of the wages of journeymen, while none of the prices seemed to be sufficiently high to make up the loss.They remind the House that in 1859 they recommended the rejection of the lowest tender which was nevertheless accepted by the House, and that great inconvenience and loss ensued.They now determine merely to report back again the calculation's of the total cost ol of the Parliamentary printing, according to the various scales of the firms who tendered lor them.Disallowance of Local Legislation.\u2014The difficulty arising out ol the adaptation of our new system ol Federal Government to a constitution which is still called British, and to minds which have been educated in.accordance with British Parliamentary rules meets us very frequently in the varions pieces of legislation achieved or attempted by our various Parliaments, Provincial and Dominion.During the recent session ol the Parliament of Ontario, the Premier introduced and carried a measure to make certain additions to the salaries of the judges in that Province.We then pointed out that this piece of legislation appeared to he altogether beyond the powers of the local government, because the constitution committed the appointment and the payment of the Jndiciary to the General or Dominion Government.We believe the same objection was made in the House of Assembly at Toronto ; hut Mr.John Sandlield MacDonald, whatever other good qualities he possesses, certainly cannot boast ol being very willing to accept advice, or to abandon any opinion which he has form., ed.Unfortunately his political education was so exclusively conducted in the Baldwin-Lafontaine school of responsible government that he can conceive of no other rules than those he then learned, and acting upon lliGiTi under n written constitution w ith one Federal and three Local Governments within the same territory lie mixes up nffiiirs in «1 most incon-ornons manner.Hence, he insisted upon passing his little hill, and it was passed accordingly, for nowadays Premiers carry anything they please.The end of the matter, however, was not till Sir John A.MacDonald came to review the hill, whereupon that supreme authority arrived at the same conclusion as previous objectors ; but having more authority than they he has vetoed the law of his honourable friend, the other Prime Minister.In the old days of the P.R., we remember a phrase intended to indicate the extreme pluck of a pugilistic hero who, like the British at Waterloo, could not tell when lie was beaten.He was pronounced by admiring chroniclers to he a \u201cglutton of punishment.\u201d Mr.John Sandfield MacDonald deserves similar praise.He is irrepressible as a legislator, and may he honestly called a glutton of vetoes ; for we think he has advised his Lieutenant Governor to sanction more Acts which have subsequently been vetoed, than all the other Local Ministers of the Dominion.To pursue the \u201c fancy\u201d line of simile, however, ho evidently bears no malice, for he not only comes up \u201c smiling\u201d for the next knock down, hut he shows no disposition to \u201c counter.His meekness, under thoset official snubs, indeed, makes us for the first time begin to doubt the purity of that Highland blood which has hitherto fired up with pugnacious resentment at every resistance which he has met with.Yet here is Sir John who, after vetoing Mr.John\u2019s unconstitutional laws without mercy, brings into Parliament laws to the full extent as unconstitutional those which he has rejected, and Mr.John does not open his mouth, or if he does it is servilely to back up the legislation of the man who knocks his acts of legislation down like a row of nine-pins.No reasonable person can doubt that if there were any Supreme Court or other power to review the acts of the House of Commons with the legal severity with which Sir J ohn A.MacDonald visits the performances of our one-horse Legislatures, the recent legislation respecting Newfoundland and Nova Scotia would he vetoed.You can not, says the maxim of the lawyers, do that indi-ectly which you are prohibited from doing directly.As you cannot, therefore, place one of the Provinces in a worse position as regards the rest by reducing the subsidy guaranteed to each by the Imperial statute, a still stronger reason debars you from placing all the Provinces but one in an inferior position, by making them pay a greater sum than the constitution directs in order that a favoured Province shall have an advantage over them.Few people try to fly in the face of a clear and positive law, and we presume that even the pacification of Nova Scotia would not be deemed a sufficient reason for passing an Act by which the subsidy per head to the Local Governments of Ontario or Quebec should he reduced.That is why those who attempt this wrong are reduced to do so by a side wind.Yet the thing done is precisely the same in both cases, though in one you go round the wall presented by the Imperial statute, instead of hutting against it in order to remove it from your path.The thing is reall}r as illegal in the one case as in the other ; but there is no constituted authority except the Dominion Parliament to pronounce upon its illegality.Mr.John might have liis revenge ; hut since Sir John became a knight and made him a premier, though only a Provincial premier, the voice of the mountains is subdued before the lowland word of command; and in order that he may take out his revenge upon ins ex-clear grit friends, the Glengary chief chuckles with satisfaction and purrs with fond delight at the slights of his former opponent.in the by-law is to mean dog male or female.Violators of the law incur a fine not

large grants ofland had been made to the Atlantic Telegraph Co., by the Legislature of Newfoundland, I hunted up the acts and Journals of the Assembly, a matter of some difficulty, as the sets were very imperfect.I discovered, however, that fearing the proceedings of the Newfoundland Legislature were imperfectly known, Mr.Carter, the Attorney General, had brought up hound copies of acts,&c., passed for the last twenty years, and through the kindness of Mr.Todd the Librarian, I was put in possession of hem.After all the mere quantity of land is not so much, hut it is reported that some valuable mines have been selected, one privilege which the act gives to the Company being the right of selection in blocks of not less than three square miles without restriction as to locality.Even in that event if they work the mines no great harm, but good, may be done.But the misfortune with these companies is that they hold on lands and anything good in or on them to raise up speculative concerns, which end in worse than nothing, by the distrust which they cause.There have been too many of these Companies already for the good of the country.In 1854 the charter was granted to Peter Cooper, Moses Taylor, Cyrus Field, Chandler White, F.N.Gisborne and others, for the New York.Newfoundland and London Telegraph Co , who were to receive on completion of line grants of blocks of land of not less than three square miles each, and not to exceed fifty square miles in all.One settler was to be placed for each 500 acres within five years.The Company to have the selection of lands and to have surveys made without cost to them.Besides that they were to receive £1,500 for each 100 miles completed of bridle road with bridges.In 1857 the Company was merged in the Atlantic Telegraph Co., all grants being transferred to the new concern, but neither company appears, as far as can he judged, to have done much to open up New- P u mu .h E EilS.Milk and Dogs.\u2014Our readers interested in these two subjects, or either of them, will do well to notice the recently promulgated by-laws made and provided for their regulation.Let us take first the provisions respecting the sale of milk.Hereafter none is to he sold except by persons licensed by the Chief of Police on the payment of a foe of $1, registers of which licenses are to bo kept by the Chief of Police.Persons who sell milk from cows fed on anything deleterious to the quality of the milk, or who shall adulterate or dilute milk intended for sale shall he liable to a fine.The police may seize specimens of milk believed to be unwholesome, diluted or adulterated and cause them to he analyzed, the certificate of the analyst being preserved as evidence.The names of persons found guilty of selling un wholesome,

to dogs, the City wisdom has provided the following regulations : All owners of dogs are to get the animals registered, numbered, described and licensed for one year in each year before the 30th of May\u2014 this year extended to the 30th June.The dogs are each to have a collar and badge, which is, we understand, not to be identical with that worn by any who have already attained to the rank of knight or baronet, nor with that of the Order of St.George and St.Michael.For the decoration of a dog of the masculine gender Ids patron is to contribute to the City Treasury the sum of two doll ars.For one of the female sex\u2014\u201cwhich liberal shepherds call \u201cby grosser name\u201d\u2014the price is to he three dollars.Dogs sufficiently oblivious to decorum to he found in the streets without their ornaments after the first day of July are to he \u201ckilled\u201d or alternatively \u201cdestroyed,\u201d whether at the option of the dog or the Chief of Police is not specified.But it will be at the option of the Chief of Police to impound the dog for forty-eight hours, and the owner may in that case recover him on payment of 50 cents in addition to the license foe.The Mayor, when a mad dog lias been seen running at large, or when it shall appear to him that there is danger from mad dogs, may issue a proclamation directing dogs to he muzzled.If dogs are found unmuzzled during the season to which the muzzling proclamation is applied, the owners are to he fined not exceeding twenty dollars, and the dogs are to be destroyed.\u201cDog\u201d foundland\u2019s \u201c interior.\u201d To judge by reports that I came across in going over the Journals, there are some good agricultural lands, one of the reports speaking enthusiastically of the size, quality and early ripening of potatoes, hut a radically vicious system of grantinglarge tracts is evident, as the Commissioner speaks repeatedly of grantees holding possession of eligible lots, even in the very neighbourhood of St.John\u2019s which they will neither sell nor let on reasonable terms.THE LAFONTAINE INVESTIGATION.To-day the evidence for the petitioners in tins case was concluded.It is difficult to ascertain anything respecting the evidence, as the members of the Committee are not very communicative on the subject.This much is certain that the great bulk of the charges apply to his conduct previous to his elevation to the Bench, and that whether through ignorance of how to keep accounts, as his friends contend, or through design, in not less than two hundred eases instalments paid him on Crown Lands were never accounted, causing for great hardship to many purchasers who, in some instances, were sold out, and the cost of their improvements lost to them by his neglect to ; account for the payments they had made.Counsel for Judge Lafontaine relying upon the insufficient testimony against him in his judicial capacity announced that they did not intend to enter upon a defence, but the Committee, considering that its functions were of an inquisitorial nature ordered them to produce testimony in rebuttal and that will bo taken to-morrow.It is yet doubtful what report will be made.The chances are that the evidence will he laid before the House with, perhaps, a few comments, and that the responsibility wiil bo thrown on the Government of taking such further steps as.may be necessary.THE INSOLVENT ACT.There was a considerable amount of discussion on this act.The Committee having taken up the whole of the clauses of which there are 155, did not rise till about half past twelve.The main debate took place on the first clause, that relating to the extension of the law to new traders, their exclusion being ultimately agreed to on division.The feeling that there should be no permanent bankruptcy law, but a periodical whitewashing which Mr.Sandfield McDonald alone expressed, is showed by many of the members, who, however, did not speak out.Mr.Sandfield McDonald gave Sir John one of these little side wipes which lie can sometimes do neatly.Sir John remarked half aside that lie never had derived any advantage from the law of which Sandfield complained.\u201c I daresay not,\u201d said the latter \u201c but you see it does\u2019nt apply to political bankrupts.\u201d Every On tario man had his fling at the Montreal merchants, and as Mr.Workman\u2019s reply was neatly put and well received, I think it as well to give it, as owing to the lateness of the hour, it was necessary to cut down the report to be sent by telegraph.Mr.Workman said, that he could not understand why such persistent attacks should he made on the Montreal merchants, by the lion, member for Glengarry, and other lion, members of this House, as he had so frequently listened to during this and the previous debate on this bill.If the Montreal merchants sold théir goods so largely and so frequently to country merchants in Ontario, and never got paid for them (as lion members assert), why should this be made such a continual cause of complaint by hon.members from Ontario.Was it not so much capital furnished by Montreal to Ontario gratis.Did not Ontario want capital ?and how could she get it on more favourable terms\u2014he certainly knew none (Cheers and laughter.) In reference to the bill now before the Committee, he thought it was a very great improvement on the previous one, and would, if properly looked after, give satis faction.There was no doubt the old In solvent Act was defective in many respects, and unpopular with a great many Montreal merchants.But this unpopularity frequently arose because creditors neglected to loot after estates, once they became insolvent they would not give that time and attention to such estates, and to their proper working out under the Insolvent Act, as were absolutely necessary to secure favourable results\u2014therefore, they frequently threw all the blame on the Act, when, in realqy, they themslves were principally to blame.The Boards of Trade of Montreal, Toronto, and other principal cities of the Dominion, have sent petitions and deputations here, recommending the passing of the bill now under discussion, and 1 feel convinced it will be acceptable to the commercial community as a whole.In respect to the clause now under discussion, that non-traders should be excluded from the action of the bill, ho believed such exclusion would bo approved by a large majority of the merchants of the Dominion, and he, therefore, hoped the amendment proposed by the hon.member for Prince Edward\u2019s Island, would also meet the aproval of a majority' of this House, and that the bill, as amended, would pass withont further delay.THE ROYAL CANADIAN BANK.I telegraphed last night that a sub Committee n.ere appointed to investigate the affairs of the Bank and to ascertain its position before reporting on the bill authorising an extension of the period of suspension without forfecting charter, and which also authorises an amalgamation with another bank.It is understood that the Cashier has^rrived with a full statement of the accounts, and if I can ascertain anything of what has taken place I will telegraph.BANKING RESOLUTIONS.Regarding the Bank resolutions I can only repeat what I have already said, that they are shelved for this session.There are reports in circulation that they will be brought up again and that Sir George Car-tier is determined to carry them through.That there were grounds for this belief I have no doubt, but the feeling in Ontario is very strong, although some members have come round in favour of the general principles of the resolutions, and Sir John is not likely to consent to lose still further his hold upon the representatives of ids own Province, out of blind deference to the will of the Minister of Militia.CITY ITEMS.-o- Cricket.\u2014A match was played on Saturday afternoon, on the Garrison Cricket Ground, between the Montreal Bank Club and the Crescent Club, and was won by the former in one innings, and

St.Charles, between six men of the 5th Company and six of the Cth Company Garrison Artillery.The result was in favour of No.6 Company, who made 820 points to their opponents 154.CONTINUATION OF THE DEBATE ON FRIDAY NrGHT.Dr.TUPPER resumed the debate on the Nova Scotia resolutions.After attending to the 10th clause of the Union Act, he said Nova Scotia had spent $2,000,000 on a railway and the Dominion had taken possession of this railway without giving anything to Nova Scotia.He argued that it was a violation of the clause to which ho had referred for the Dominion to take possession of that railway, and at the same time burden the Province with the interest on the $2,000,000 cx-ended on it.He held there were only two courses open to the Government either to assume the entire debt of Nova Scotia or hand over the railway to Nova Scotia.He argued at length in support of tliis view, contending that what _ Nova Beotia wanted was simply an act of justice.Mr.MACKENZIE replied to Dr.Tapper, stating that he (Dr.Tapper) was placed in an awkward position, having stilted last session that his province iiad received ample justice.He objected to the conclusion of Dr.Tapper, that under the Union Act Nova Scotia was entitled to the increased subsidy, and cited the schedule of the Act showing that the railways were the property of the Dominion.He rebutted, at some length, the doctrine that the subsidies could be changed by the Canadian Parliament, and argued that they were finally fixed by the Union Act, quoting extracts from the speeches of Mr.George Brown and Hon.Mr.Galt to that effect.Sir G.E.CARTIER contended that the resolutions were not amendments to the British Noith America Act, but simply propositions to appropriate a sum of money to one of the Provinces.The amendment was to limit tile power of this Parliament to deal with its own resources.He argued that by the Act power was given to the Parliament of the Dominion to regulate any matter not specially' assigned to the provincial parliament.Col.GREY contended that tliis Parliament had full right to deal with the matter.Mr.SMITH (N.B.) held that the Union Act was binding and irreversible, except by the Imperial Government, and that any other interpretation iv as dangerous to the smaller Provinces, and would lead to greater discontent.Mr.CARTER argued that this Parliament was not restricted in the distributing of its own money, and instanced the case of the Ontario and Quebec Governments sending money to Nova Scotia.Sir J.A.MACDONALD said, all who voted for the amendment would show that they' were opposed to Confederation, and his lion, friend from Lambton, in seconding the amendment, had defined his position as an enemy of Union.He had shown that, rather than allow the present Government to carry out Confederation, he would oppose the Union itself.They were about to admit Newfoundland and the North West, but Nova Scotia was the key stone, and the Union could not exist without it.Nova Scotia had accepted these arrangements.The several legislatures and governments had shown by voice and vote that they' had accepted them ; and if these arrangements were rejected by this Government, either because it was opposed to any additional subsidy to Nova Scotia, or from a mistaken idea that it lias no power to do it, it would change what is now harmony into discord, and would justify every man in Nova Scotia in believing that there was no government or justice in the Canadian Parliament.The vote was, whether we were to iiavc Confederation, or not.Mr.HOLTON\u2014I thought that question was settled long ago.Sir J.A.MACDONALD\u2014It was settled by law in 1867, but ids lion, triend, while professing to ha1 c accepted the situation, lost no opportunity of retarding the progress of Confederation.We wore told the other day by gentlemen opposite, that the English Government trampled on our rights in the matter of the Governor\u2019s salary, and yet these same gentlemen now took the ground that tiie Imperial Parliament alone had the right to do what was proposed in those resolutions.The question was merely this, ElsT Gs-Xj-A-UKTID.Great Tory

the consequences which he feared to contemplate.It would be introducing a serious element of discord, and would justify every man, Union and anti-Union, in using every attempt to break the Union.The right to do what they liked with their own money was the great contention between a free and servile people, and the idea of a sovereign people like us not having that right was so absurd that if it had not been endorsed by the hon.member for West Durham it would scarcely he worthy of consideration.lie referred to the grant of $20,000 to the patriotic funds and $10,000 to the French soldiery

the grant proposed, if the people of Nova Scotia wore starving, and the sum of 80c a head interposed as the utmost limit to which we could go.He believed that country would support the resolutions.If the proposition were rejected there would he rejoicings among the disaffected here and in places beyond the Dominion.Mr.HOLTON moved the adjournment of the debate.Mr.McKENZIE rose to repel the unjustifiable attacks made upon him as being a disunionist, because he did not choose to accept these resolutions, and hurled hack the accusations made against him by Sir John McDonald, whose propositions would give a fatal stab to the Union cause.He again defended his position as a true friend of the Union, and he charged the whole of the evils which had compelled the recent constitutional changes to the recklessness and extravagance of the Minister of Justice.Mr.BLAKE said the Minister of Justice had misrepresented the case, and had prevented the whole of his (Mr.Blake\u2019s) argument.He indignantly denied that his amendment was a blow to the Union, and argued that the most unfortunate thing for the success of Confederation would he the adoption of the principles laid down in the government resolutions.Sir G.E.CARTIER replied, using nearly the same arguments as previous speakers on that side.Mr.HOLTON, by the consent of the House, withdrew his motion to adjourn the the debate.Mr.CHIl\u2019MAN opposed the amendment as the Imperial Government had thrown the responsibility of conciliating Nova Scotia upon the Dominion Government.Mr.GALT replied to the arguments ot the member for West Durham, contending that the adoption of the amendment would increase the discontent in Nova Scotia, and pospone its pacifiealion indefinitely.Mr.HUNTINGTON urged the vital importance to the interest of each Province ind to the permanency of the Dominion of keeping close to the constitution, and not commencing our career by settling a sectional difficulty by violating a fundamental principle of the constitution Messrs.Rose, Leyesconte, O\u2019Connor, Bolton, Dorion, Forbes and Rymal continued the debate.At 2:20 Mr.Blakes

misinformed as to the arrival of the Bremen ship \u201cEmil\u201d and her passengers at the harbour of Quebec.The \u201c Emil\" arrived at the port of Quebec without a single emigrant on hoard.The cargo of emigrants to which your correspondent refers was landed at Grosse Isle by order of the Medical Superintendent at Quar-rantine.The sick were sent to hospital and the healthy removed to the sheds, to undergo a thorough cleansing.Provisions were sent ashore from the ship to maintain these people while at Quarantine, and the cook of the ship ordered by the captain to attend to their meals as usual.Tim ship after being cleansed out, was allowed to proceed on her way to Quebec.After the emigrants had undergone the usual rules and regulations of tlie Quarantine station for some days, they were sent to Quebec by a steamer and landed at the Grand Trunk wharf at Point Levi.The captain was at the landing as I arrived, and the emigrants appeared to be pleased at seeing him there ready to look after their interests.He assisted them at tlie ticket office and remained with them until all were in tlie cars.I did not hear; a single complaint made by the passengers against the captain while they were here ; but all seemed satisfied.No person can justly hold the captain responsible for the starved and sickly appearance of the emigrants as they had been away from the ship more than a week before they reached Montreal.I am of opinion that it was tlie duty of tlie Medical Superintendent at Grosse Isle to use his judgment whether these people were fit to travel or not, before lie allowed them to leave Quarantine.Your correspondent further states that all those people had paid through to the Western States, but were only sent to Montreal.This assertion is entirely wrong ; no person is authorized to issue through tickets in Germany to passengers by sailing vessels, If these passengers had paid at Point Levi for th,e Western States, they would have received their tickets accordingly.I should like for your correspondent to take the trouble to come down here when a sailing ship arrives with this class of people (Poles his countrymen) and I am sure he will go hack to Montreal with a full assurance that everything is done for their comfort while here.I am certain there is no port where emigrants are so treated and taken care of as they arc in Quebec, nor is there a railway on this continent more liberal in assisting poor emigrants than the Grand Trunk Railway.None of the ship \u201c Emil\u2019s\u201d passengers were forwarded from here free of charge, those who landed without means (25 adults in number) requested their captain for assistance to get away from here, which ho granted willingly and paid for.I remember a few years ago when the President of the German Society in Montreal wrote to the Government complaining that two brothers (Sinn) residing at Quebec sent all emigrants to the Western States, whereas a good many could find employment at Montreal every season, and that he the President required from twenty to thirty men every season at his business.How is it that times have changed so much at Montreal ?A Man who Steaks the German

were submitted.During the debate the Rev.Mr.Cameron, a minister of the New School, U.S., stated that in consequence of the looseness of the Ministerial tie, there were 400 vacant charges and .400 mintsters without charges in that Assembly ; sometimes ministers were hired by the year, and probably the opposition of one man might unsettle a minister and deprive a whole congregation of the services of the man of their choice.Of four motions, one moved by Professor Young was carried, which, dismissed the overture and declared legislation on the subject unnecessary.afternoon sederunt.The afternoon was occupied with tlie consideration of i he conduct of the Presbytery of Guelph touching the Galt revival.The ground of action in the case will he found in the following extracts from the Presbytery of Guelph.Rev.Mr.Murdoch was heard at great length in support of his protest.He was followed by tlie Rev.Mr.Torrance of Guelph, and Rev.Mr.Barrie, of Eramosa, who is one of the oldest and most venerable members of the Presbytery of Guelph, also Mr.McKenzie, of Doou Mills.The Presbytery of Guelph must be heard in defence of their decision which was appealed against.At Guelph, the eleventh day of May, 1869 tiie Presbytery of Guelph being duly met and constituted\u2014inter alia, Mr.G.Smellie gave notice that, as he had already intimated by a circular letter, he would, at next sederunt, move for the reconsideration of the decision of the Presbytery, on the twenty-third day of March last, in reference to the report of tlie Deputation appointed to visit Galt and enquire into the origin, progress, and present state of tlie religious movement there.The Presbytery being again duly met and constituted in the afternoon of the same day\u2014-/nier alia,\u2014 It was moved by Mr.G.Smellie, seconded by Mr.J.Little,\u2014That the Presbytery reconsider their decision of the twenty-third day of March last, in reference to the Report of tlie Deputation appointed to visit Galt and enquire into the origin, progress, and present state of the religious movement there.It was moved in amendment by Mr.W.T.Murdoch, seconded by Mr.M.McKenzie,^That the decision be not reconsidered.After reasoning, the amendment was withdrawn, and the motion for reconsideration was carried unanimously.It was then moved by Mr.G.Smellie, seconded by Mr.IV.S.Ball,\u2014That the Presbytery, having reconsidered the Report of the Deputation appointed to visit Galt, agree to expunge from their Record their decision in reference to the same, and allow the Report to lie on tlie table ; but, inasmuch as the conversion of sinners to God is the great object of the gospel ministry ; inasmuch as the answers to the queries on the state of religion annually transmitted by the Pres, bytevy to sessions have never hitherto presented anything so definite as to gladden the hearts of the brethren ; inasmuch, further as it is alleged that during the latter part of tlie past and the beginning of the present year, God has been graciously pleased to visit certain portions of the hounds with His blessing ; and inasmuch as it is understood that tlie gracious work referred to lias latterly become more extontive : the Presbytery hereby appoint a new and larger Committee, tlie composition of which shall be afterwards determined, to meet from time to time, to confer with one another, to digest their impressions and findings, and report to the Presbytery as may be required.It was moved in amendment by Mr.W.T.Murdoch, seconded by Mr.M.McKenvie, That the Presbytery having heard the Report of the Deputation appointed to visit Galt, and inquire into the origin, progress, and present state of the religious movement there, receive the same, commend the diligence of the Deputation, and lay the Report on the table ; and having regard to tlie conflicting views held by those competent to judge as to the permanent result for good from the movement in Galt, deem it premature to give any deliverance on tlie matter.It having, however, come to the knowledge of the Presbytery, that persons having no ecclesiastical connection\u2014recognized and authorized by no church\u2014have, with the sanction of some of the ministers and Kirk-Sessions, been preaching to some of our congregations ; the Presbytery holding such a practice to be contrary to our principles and subordinate standards, but, having regard to the conflicting views of members, refer the matter to the Synod for direction in the premises.After discussion, a vote was taken ; when the motion of Mr.Smellie was carried by a majority of twenty-one to nine ; wherefore the Presbytery decided in terms thereof.From this decision Messrs.W.T.Murdoch, R.Torrance, W.Barrie, M.McKenzie, Ministers, and Messrs.Adam Ker, T.Mc-Grae, and John McCorkindale, dissented, for reasons to he in due time given in ; and protested for leave to complain to the Synod, and craved extracts, which were granted.(No.5.) Reasons of dissent from a decision of the Presbytery of Guelph in reference to the religious movement at Galt, and complaint to the Synod against said decision : We dissent and complain to the Synod against tlie finding of the Presbytery on the following ground : We regard conscientiously that our subordinate standards teach, and the safety of our people require that those who preach to our congregations should be accredited and authorized to do so by the Church, and be responsible to her constituted authorities ; of the violation of which principle, in ouc bounds, the Presbytery take no notice.(Signed) W.T.Murdoch.Robert Torrance.William Barrie.M alcolm McKenzie.Adam Ker.T.McGrae.John McCorkindale.(A true copy.)

Presbyterian JChurcli in a position which might give her proceedings the appearance | of bigotry in the eyes of the world\u2014a j position which posterity might deplore,\u2014 I and one which might bring down on her the j blight of Heaven.Synod of the Canada Presbyterian Oirareli It was resolved by a vote of the House that the order of the Committee on Bills and Overtures be set aside, and the Galt case be proceeded with.Mr.P.Kerr, Elder, was heard.McRae another was also heard.Mr.McCorkindale, another elder from Guelph, spoke on the subject of the rights of the people.This closed the case of the appellants.In defence of the action of the Presbytery, Rev.Geo.Smellie of Fergus was first called upon, and gave a succinct account of the revival.His statements were marked by a fine Christian spirit.He showed that the fruits which flowed from the labours of the young Evangelists, who spent last winter at and around Galt, were manifestly^ of God.Ho also alluded to the movement in Fergus.The Rev.James Middlemiss, Clerk of the Presbytery of Guelph, next addressed the House.Mr.M.took strong ground against the opposition to this work.He quoted from John Owens\u2019 exposition of the seventh chapter of the Hebrews, to prove that lay preaching is reeo'gnized in the New Testament Scriptures.The question was not whether the preaching of these young men was heretical, but was it authorized ?The opposition seems to lie solely in (lie fact that they are not authorized.The Rev.W.S.Ball of Guelph next addressed the Court.Mr.Murdoch replied to tlie members of the Presbytery.Tlie Synod having suspended the rule of adjournment, it was resolved to sit until the parties should be removed from tiie bar.is reported to have been murdered at Templeton by a man named Scarfe.\u2014 -C: *> \u2014- CRICKET.Up to this we have been unable to give our report of the cricket match between the First Battallion 60th Rifles and the 3rd Brigade Royal Artillery, which took place on Wednesday and Thursday last.Some very fine play was shown.The Artillery showed great pluck and some very good play but were compelled to give way before tlie magnificent cricketting of the Rifles, which have shown themselves to he as good hands at handling the willow as there are in the British service.60th Rifles.Capt.Northey, L.B.W., b Pierce .\t60 Ensign Tumour, b Litchfield.11 Lieut.Davies, b Myles .47 Capt.Wallace, c Keenan, b Litchfield.37 Lieut.Baiilie, b Myles.29 Lieut Toole, b Linden.17 Lieut.Dundas, b Myles.7 Dicut.Halbeck, b Grant.6 Sergt.Andrews, b Grant.2 Sergt.Floyd, run out.0 Private Leper, not out.4 Bves, 13, L.B.5, Wides.25 74c\t95c for New Mixed Western via canal ;

hut is desirous of seeing the Church\u2019s efforts for a pure and efficient ministration of the word carried out, and the preaching of it in all her pulpits continue evangelical\u2014resulting in the salvation of souls, and in the general diffusion of life and holiness among her members.2.\tThat the Presbytery continues to hold, and regards as of the highest importance, that those who statedly minister to our congregations should he \u201caccredited and authorized by the Church to do so,\u201d and he responsible to her judicatories ; and that none he regularly engaged in her service who are not prepared to subscribe her Standards, and hold themselves amenable to her authority.3.\tThat the Presbytery is not aware that the violations of any principle maintained in the subordinate standards of the Church, in reference to the preaching of the Word, have been in any case perpetrated within its bounds, inasmuch as tiie answer to Q.158 of the Larger Catechism\u2014the only authority referred to by the minority, is in these terms' :\u2014¦\u201c The Word of God is to he preached only by such as are sufficiently gifted ; and also duly approved and called to that office.\u201d And the Presbytery believe that those who invited strangers temporarily to occupy their pulpits, have been at pains to ascertain that they were \u201c sufficienely gifted ;\u201d and have been satisfied that they were \u201c duly approved and called\u201d by the Great Head of the Church.4.\tThat, hitherto, occasional supply of pulpits by unlicensed men, or even persons unauthorized by the Church, as in the case of agents of certain religious societies, Ac , has not been regarded as any violation of the rules of the Church ; and the matter of arranging who is at any time to address their congregations has, hitherto, been considered as safe in tlie hands of the individual members ot the Presbytery.5.\tThat it is well known that the practice of those who arc employed in Evangelistic work, both in the mother country and in this land, is, for imporant reasons, to refrain from connecting themselves with any particular branch of the visible Church ; and that yet their practice has not' deterred the most Evangelical Churches in Britain, and even those with whom we are on friendly relations, from countenancing such and availing themselves of their services.Therefore the Presbytery does not feci itself warranted in shutting the door against any DOMINION ITEMS.\u2014-The 63rd Regt., stationed at Quebec will camp out at Point Levis.\u2014Two new hotels at Niagara are projected.\u2014Nicholson pavement is to be tried in Toronto.intends to run again for L\u2019lsl- are nine salt wells at Paisley, ;
