hot as the last-named man had been brought into court without a warrant, Raffles at once ordered his discharge ontii he waa apprehended under legal process.The prosecution of the men waa conducted by Mr Carr.They had been shipped, it appear ed, at Savannah, at an nnusoally high rate of wages, the crew being twenty in nnmber ail told.Matters went on satisfactorily until the 23d of December, when the chief mate, Charles Whitworth, having given some directiona to the man at the wheel, named Webster, the latter, deeming hiuueif to be unnecessarilly Interfered with, resented the authority of the mate, and a terrible struggle ensued between them.The mate, having turned aside, was assailed by Webster, who sprang upon him with a determination to throw him overboard.A fierce encounter took place against the rail, and the noise attracted tho attention of the captain, who was in his cabin.Captain Minchin having separated the combatant*, ordered Webster to be placed in irons, and this order was obeyed.Another of the crew named Nicholson.rushed at the captain before the separation, and struck him in the face, telling him to stand off.The crew were then on the poop, and, manifesting a diposition to mutiny, Captain Minchin returned to his cabin and brought out a revolver.He ordered the men to .return to work, and threatened to shoot them if they resisted.Weymonth, aaaua.ing the leadership, demanded Nicholson\u2019s release, and said they would not work tho ship unless the irons were removed.The men excUlmed that if he did not put the man out of Irons it would be a bai job for the captain and his officers, that they were American sailor;, and didn\u2019t care for English law.Weymouth, stepping aside, told those who were of the same mind as bim ielf to follow him, and the men joined him.Captain Minchin, judging that the ship would be imperilled by the continued refusal of the men to work, and as the weather had a threatening aspect, entered into consultation with his chief officer, and decided tovelease Nicholson.This having been done, the men resumed work, and the ehip wae brought safely to Liverpool.On its arrival here the seamen who bad mutinied leaped upon the quay and escaped ; but six of them were afterwards apprehended by warrant for the part they had taken in the Illegal combination while on the voyage.In reply to the magistrate, the captain stated that the revolver with which be armed himself was leaded, but that his intention in producing it was simply to frighten the men back to their work.Mr.Raffles thought that with respect to Parke the evidence waa not sufficiently conclusive to justify his conviution, and therefore ordered him to bê dischar^ ïd.Weymouth, in defence, said that Web-ter was the third n who had been struck by the officers dor-the voyage, and the crew resolved that it was time to put a stop to that treatment.Both the oaptaiu and the mate denied that any of the mea had been ill-treated.Mr.Raffles said he thought the captain had exercised a v»ry wise discretion.The men bad combined together to refuse to do duty.It never canid be allowed that the crew of a vessel should lodge as to the propriety of what was done by the captain, who was the master on board, and the only person to decide what was right.Having signed articles it was the duty of the crew to obey his commands, and they bad no basinets whatever to dictate to the captain.He was very glad the captain acted as he did under the circumstances, and that b© went no further.Weymouth must be imprisoned and kept at hard labour for eight weeks, and tbe other four\u2014Parker, Lapsley, Welsh, and Petersen\u2014tor six weeks.fc The millions which It will cost this summer and for a few years to come, will be soon a tax on shipping, that old Quebec will be thought cheap after alL I think this is a strong point, from what I can gather, three or four millions will be the coal of tha work, the government contributing a share.Consequently a heavy tooaage tax will be levied on ail vessels entering Mm port of Montreal; towards tbe liquidation of this debt, If shipping caw stand the payment of those million*, I hope tha Torontonians will try for their share of iaaprevesoents to secure ocean trade too.\u201d Yes, Mr.Editor, I conclude that this work Is of r»*™»1 importance, and as it will not retard by one hour, the advancing prosperity of Quebec, I earnestly entreat our people to she hands of our Ministers by encouraging them in this instance, and later, the claim we, In our turn, may have on tha gov\u2014 «rament for aid, will be strengthened thereby N Feby.», 1173.MR.ROEBUCK AT SHEFFIELD.SEVERE CASTIGATION STONE.OF MR.GLAD- TROUBLE IH MEW ORLEANS.The investigation into tbe Radical faction fight in New Orleans implicates the Federal officials, sad necessarily the Administration, at tha very start.Oapt.Barr, commanding tha revenue cutter Wilderness, confirms the «tenges against brother-in-law Casey that ware made at tha commanoemsnt of tha difficulty, testifying that under his orders he carried off seventeea Senators in the cutter, thus preventing a quorum in the upper House of She Législature, and precipitating the hoetill-ttee which subsequently assumed each a violent character Nbw that the use ofa Government vessel to prevent the session of the Legislature is proved, and the respouMbility of this outrage is fixed upon brother Casey, it remains to bo seen what the Committee will advise sad what tha President will do.There Is bo positive evidence that tha Présidant plotted and advised this interference, as in the casa of the Gatling guns at tbe Custom House Convention, and it U possible that brothsr Casey did tbe deed on his ownrespoasibtlity ; bat thesupport which the President extended in the case of the previous outrage doubtless gave tha presuming Collector warrant to go n step farther without direct orders.If Grant sns-stains Casey after this discovery he will become a party to the business, ss he did to «*-« of the Convention at the Custom House.\u2014MoOtvn Po*.Mr.Roebuck addressed a crowded public mealing at Sheffiald, tbe Mayor presiding.Mr.Roebuck, who was very warmly received, said he had no object to further, bat had simply come on their invitation to lay before them the opinion of one who hod paid much attention to political questions.Ho said that the two great parties in tbe state were headed by two leaders, who bid one against the other for the sake of power.The card of household suffrage was overtrumped by the card of Irish Church disestablishment.A direct attack was being made upon the Inatitntions of tbe country.A vast conspiracy was organised against the British constitution.It was headed by obsoure parsons, but behind these was a state party that did not know whither it was tending, and behind this party was a man whose object was to attain very much the same power in England that M.Thiers had in France.The Radicals and Dissent era had b«en secured by the disestablishment of the Irish Church\u2014a measure which had not secured peace la Ireland.The freedom of the country had been interfered with through the laud bill.The army w«a shaken to its centre, and the next banble held before them was the attack on the House of Lords.He did not say that that body was such as (hay would create if they were making a second chamber, but under the oircamstaacee they could not frame e better checking chamber.He condemned strongly the agitation which had arisen in consequence of the rejection of the ballot by the upper chamber\u2014a rejection which was perfectly justified by the circumstances\u2014and animadverted in severe terms upon one of the leaders of the agitation\u2014e boronet whose father owed his distinction to coart favor.The promotion of dir Robert Gollier another remarkable transaction\u2014as barefaced and sorry a cheat as was ever passed off by a thimble-rigger.This was not all.The pur abase warrant showed that Mr.Gladstone was ready to do without the House of Commons as well as the House of Lords.Mr.Roebuck proceeded to speak of Mr.Gladstone as a mau gifted with many high qualities, butmany great weaknesses.He was do orator, though possessing a command of resources in the bus!.MW of deception.Whatever crossed his path wae puaUbed with a crashing power broaght to bear in various ways.He was foil of feminine weakness.If they allowed the domination of Mr.Gladstone to proceed as it had been proceeding they were very fool ish people, and deserved every species of degradation to which a nation could be subjected.A vote of thanks was accorded to Mr.RnC- buck.The Princess Marguerite, daughter of tbe Duke de Nemours, was married to the Prince Cstrtoryeki on Monday at Chantilly, where the uncle of the bride, the Duke d\u2019Aumale, haa large estates.The eberoh in wbich tbe marriage was solemnised is half Greek, half Gothic, and somewhat bare of ornament.Tho altar waa a blase of light, and tbe sides had been richly decorated witn flowers ; bat ia other respects little bad been done to lend brilliancy to tho scene.The church itself, however (writes an eye-witness of the ceremony), was soon crowded by village folk with healthy complexions aud homespun clothes ; by English girls, women and men, pushing aud criiicihir.g with the intrepidity ot their race ; and by the tbroug of invited guests, to whom the conduct, is of the ceremony had allotted special seats.Not tbe least eager onloekets were some member» of a religious sisterhood, clad iu tbe black dress and black hood of their order.The cariosity with which some of them crowded to the windows of a building that seemed to be a convent school, in order to see the bride, the bridegroom, and the guests, was a strange retire ou asceticism.It was nature peeping out through ,tbe crevices of tbe cloister.And still more manifest was tbe curiosity betroyed by two of the sisters who sat in ohnrch before me.One had taken the trouble to write dowa the names of all the chief personages inside the altar rails.I could read on one sido of tbe paper the titles of such dignitaries as the Emperor ef Brasil, the Duc d\u2019Aumale, the Count de Paris, aud the Duc de Chartres , and on tbe other the Hat of the ladies.Tbe acetic sister bad pot herself to much trouble to get that list, despite the fret that she had bidden an eternal adieu to all the joys of married ladies who sat near her.Poor old nun I it would be hard to begrudge her that felicity.The first of the chief personages who arrived was the Duke d\u2019Aumale, to whom, as lord of the manor, belonged tho duty of welcoming the guests.Soou afterwards came tbe Emperor and Empress of Brasil, whose homely but sagacious faces have become wril known in Paris, where they have gone to sao everything.A tell, gaunt old man, with a slight stoop, and clad in the roboa of a priest, walked quickly up tbe centre of the chnrcb, and passed to tbe vestry.It was tbe famous Bishop of Orleans, the most pugnacious Christian in France.Than the bride came loaning on the arm of her father, tbe Duc de Nemours, aud Immediately afterwards came the bridegroom.It would be a breach of etiquette to utter a word about the looks of either ; and I do not presume to ray even how the bride was drowsed.I beard feminine lips dropping a reference to the brilliant display of Aiencon point, and I record the fact for the benefit of iady readers.Tbe ceremony waa very simple.Bride and bridegroom took their seats ou two chairs before the altar, with a high lighted taper on each side.A small procession of priests and acolytes tfaea marched out of the vestry\u2014one of them carry irg the crosier, another tbe mitre.'Ph: n cerne lue old bishop, clad in cloth-of-gold.Standing on the steps of the altar, ho proceed-td to deliver words of conned to the bride and bridegroom, which speedily swelled into a sermon, and then into an oration.In his time the bishop was a great pnlpit orator, and traces of the old fire could still be sren to-day in the words by which he set forth the duty of the prince and princess to France, to society, and to each other.After the religions ceremony the procession defiled down tbe church in simple state.To an eye accustomed to the beauty of English weddings, especially of there in village churches,tho scene was bare,and lacked the poetry of symbolism.Mauy a fair reader will be shocked to hear that, in acsordauce with French custom, the bride had no bridesmaids, and that she eat in all the dignity of feminine lonliness.Nor did the villagers strew flowers iu her path, as they wonid have done if the scene had been in England, and the princess the danghter of a simple English squire.Tbe French people have Utile poetry iu their daily life.For the poetry of the common people we must go to Germany.Nevertheless, the villagers were intensely excited by the ceremony, and crowded round tbe church In such numbers that it was difficult to get iu or out.Ihdeed, the most interesting part of the spectacle was the mass of men, women, and child ran that filled the street, and made such a noise that tbe bishop cOnld not be heard un-Ul tbe doors were shot.A French crowd is very different from an English ; it ia more pio tnreeque, mere full of colour, noisy, glib of tongue, and, on the whole, not quite so jrichly gifted with interesting ignorance.The relu cations of English villagers would have been louder iu presence of tbe squire.Nevertheless, the wedding of the Princess Mirguerite de Nemours and the Prince Csartoryskt waa a pleasant spectacle, and not devoid of bistort cal interest.For Coughs and Throat Disorders* use \" Brown\u2019s Bronchial Troohes,\u201d having proved their offleienoy by a test of many ysa'S.January 31, 1872.\t.3o-d«tw Houses for Sale or to Let Houses tor Sale or to Let HOUSE TO LET.DWELLING TO LET.\u2022 \u201c PM A comfortable Dwelling House* Bo.S3, St.Gensvieve Street, Cape, with I Yard, an I Stabling fer two horse*.Also, 2& to | 30 Cord*of Firewood, which cm b* taken at valoatli-.n.A poly to DUNCAN PATTON A CO.Pster Street;

there was no question that the prisoner had killed his wife; that wee admitted ; and it was not contended that there waa ¦uoh provocation as might reduce the crime to manslaughter.All the jary bad to do was to say whether or uot he was in a sound state of mind when the crime was committed.Did he at tbe time be committed this act know what be was doing f If not, of course he was not criminally responsible.Did he also know that what be was doing was wrong ?He was perfectly aware that doubts on the universal applicability of this rule had been expressed by many eminent persons for whose opinion he had tbo greatest respect.Bat if It was to be altered at all.It must be altered by Act of Parliament.The jury deliberated an hour and a half, and on returning into court said they found the prisoner guilty but wished strongly to recommend him to th« mercy and clemency of the Crown on account of his advanced age and previous good char acter.The prisoner, upon being called upon in tbe usual form, said, \"I only wish to say that the defence which has been maintained iu my favour is a just and honest one.\" Mr Justice Bylee, assuming the black cap, said\u2014 \"Prisoner at the bar,\u2014Nobody who baa heard this trial can regard yonr case otherwise than with the deepest compassion.My duty is simply to pronounce tbe sentence of the law The learned judge then pronounced

marked op position movement in oar commercial aud manufacturing towns, which appears to us to deserve the serious consideration of tbe advocates of taxes upon raw materials.While within the Aesemb y men of experience and practical judgment dispute tbe figures and criticise the calculations of M.Thiers, and wage with him a war of details.We have today received a private despatch from the Ghamber-of Commerce of Lyons, which informs ns that the manufacturera and merchants of that city have energetically protested against a tax of which it appears to them the consequences will be to destroy the principal manufactures of Lyons, and to Inflict irreparable injury to all branche» connected with it.Like their brethren of Marseilles, whose protest waa recently noticed, like tbe Parisian Jmeet-ing at tbe Grand Hotel, the manufacturers and merchants of Lyons, conscious of tbe evil which needs to be repaired, and fully aware of the necessity of sacrifices, declared themselves ready to accept with a patriotic willing ness all the burdens whioh the representatives of the country should decide it to be indispensable to impose.Bat they absolutely reject, in the name of the freedom of labour and of the national prosperity, the fatal tax upon raw materials.Tbe commercial classes oi Bordeaux ;anite in these manifestations, and two deputations, ene from the Free Tradu Committee and the other from the association formed to resist the re-iinposillon of taxes upon raw materials, are at this very time pleading on behalf of tha propucers of wine, who daring the existence of the Commercial Treaty have seen their exports to England increased fivefold in the space of ten years.If their cause and that of other threatened manufactures should be destined to defeat, at least they have been vigorously defended, and it is still impossible to predict tbe tesoir.M.Thiers, despite hia thrice repeated Impetuous attack, tailed to carry the position on Monday when he failed to obtalu tbe closing of the discussion, aud every bom\u2019s delay increase the chances or the hopes of his adversaries They have already profited by the opportunity to drawn pa plan

Conn.M.A.Hsarn considered he wonld not be doing his duty by his constituents did he not aay a word on the subject.It was abont time that Qnebec, where there was as mnch capital, he considered, as in any other part of the Dominion, should arise, and her men do what they were bonnd to, and capable of doing.They should shew themaeives capable of coping, in the march of progress, with the people of other cities.We bad an example of what conld be done here in the establishment of the Quebec and Gnlf Ports S.8.Oo.Here we were now, when a question of merely one million was in the balance, against commercial and industrial degradation ; and we have the means of rescoe presented to ns in improved form, haggling over them.We have now in onr power to do that which governments have been unable to accomplish ; we can keep onr people at home, Induce immigration by providing labor for people when they land on our shores ; give work to onr own people, and give back to onr city its old commercial prestige.Here was a prospect of opening valnable land\u2019 for colonization ; the Oity of Quebec was to be put in possession of a vast tract of territory.When the people of Qnebec in common with other cities of Canada were taxed, and taxed too heavily for the pnrehtss of Manitoba and British Colombia which latter colony syas costing one hundred millions there was no outcry raised ; when we came to a great work, vitally interesting onr selves, we fonnd difficulty purposely thrown in onr way.He next spoke of the attack made by Aide man Hearn on the press said he should be the last man to fling such an insult npon gentlemen who were present in their official capacity, but who were incapable of repelling the odious words.They bad treated the Alderman at all times with attention, and now they might mèasnre the extent of hla gratitede.He hoped they wonld express their opinions on the subject Tbe Councillor opoke further on Mr.Boue ripbt to speak.Aid.Hiasr rose to sp;ak.Conn.Pbaohv invoked a rale of order, and the Mayor rnled in favor of Aid.Hearn, who said be wished to ask a question.He pro ceeded to question the right of tbe Conoeil to repeal those conditions of the vote which were fixed by law.He held that tbe Conncil had ; no power : tbe resolution was not in order, and fell to the ground.Tbe Alderman plained, and quoted and spoke at great length.Several times questions of order were raised, and there was great confusion.Members stated that the Alderman was making a speech instead of asking a question.The Mayor decided that the question had been asked.Aid.Hearn iEsiated it bad not.Amid mnch noise, the Mayor decided to allow Aid.Hearn to proceed.Conn.Hearn appealed from the decision, and the row broke ont afresh.After mnch lond talking, Councillor Hearn withdrew his appeal.Aid.Hearn then fiercely declaimed against the intolerance of some members of the Conncil, when the cry for the question wm again raised.\t\u2022 Conn.GmuN here arose and spoke abont privileges, and deprecated in strong terms the Mayor\u2019s action.Conn.Mailloox strongly condemned Aid.Hearn contrMting his action In the House of Assembly with his condnct in the Conncil Chamber.If he miscondncted himself there tbe Serjeant-at-Arms wonld arrest him ; here the police should take him in hand.Aid.Hsarn again commenced, when the Mayor tpld him his question had been asked, and he wonld now reply.Aid.Hearn insisted the contrary, when |the Mayor rnled him out of order, and remarked that he w£uld be obliged to employ force to maintain or^er.Tbe Mayor said the Act 34 Vic, cap.21, gave the Conncil power, reading from the same act m Aid.Hearn had quoted.Aid.HyAkstben rose to make some explanation^ when he whs called to order, and more confosion enaned.He repeated bis question of Friday night, as to whether matter concerning money votes should not be sent to the Finance Committee before being brought before the Conncil.The Mayor maintained hi# former decision, as no new grant was proposed.As $3 other questions of Aid.Hearn, replies were made.The Surveyor's report had been 'prcMnied, though it was understood that a survey had been made.There wm no contract for construction given ont.Aid.Hsarn then made a lengthy address, defining his position.The amendment wm then pat and carried, Alderman Hearn\u2019s being the only dissentient \u2022CÎoe.before potting the question to the vote, the Mayor said he wm glad the time spent lo deliberation had b«»en prodnetivo of such good resnits.The modified resolntlon, while not so perfect m he would like it, made an important change, and he trasted that they shonld never have cauee to regret the action taken.The main motion wm then pnt.A iderman Hearn moved two amendments, which fount} no seconders.After a motion for reference of tbe resolution to th« Company for approval tho Conncil adjourned, ot a quarter pMt one, until Friday.ONTARIO PARliAMEN L LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.[Special to the Morhens Chrosioli ] Toronto, Feby.6.The Speaker took the Chair at 3 o\u2019clock.AFTER ROUTINE, Mr.Scott moved that on Thursday next the Honse go into Committee on bis resolution, respecting the reduction of the price of common school lands.\u2014Carried.The following bills were read a third time and passed :\u2014 Mr.Blake\u2014To make farther provision respecting tbe appropriation of railway fonds.Mr.Williams, (Durham,)\u2014To incorporate the Omemee, Bobcaygeon, snd North Peter-boro Junction Railway Company.Mr.Carling\u2014Respecting the debt of the City of Loudon.On tbo bill to farther seenre the independence of tbe Parliament,\t{ Mr.Blake moved the limit nnmber of the Execntive Conncil to 6 members Hr.Camrron objected to restricting the nnmber to six, and said that the Confederation Act contemplated that His Excellency might have more advisers than 5, though be objected to tbe manner in which tbe IncreMe bad been made by Mr.Blake.He moved in amendment that the increase of any member of the Legislative Assembly who hereafter becomes a member of the Execntive Connell in addition to those appointed to preside over the departments under tbe Confederation Act, bis election shall thereby become void, and his \u2022eat vacant.Mr.Blake opposed tbe amendment, and said it wm preposterous at this day to allow His Excellency to call men to \u2019 his Conncil witbont restriction m to the nnmber, who wonld not be allowed te ait in the Houm, and be held responsible to the people.In answer to Mr.Ferguson, Mr.Blake said that the appointment as President of the Conncil was made by His Excellency with the advice cd a full Oonrcil.After some diecotskra the amendment wm pnt aid lost\u2014Yeas, 5 ;
