Yi*'niia correspondent says he has tra .worthy information that the force which cr.isse I the Ualkats under (ten.Hourko comprises ôô, 000 infantry.The fa* t that lliiMia has reiterated the declaration tiiat tin* armistice is to be settled bv the commander in th** field, and not by plenipotentiaries, shows that Kussiv has not acqniesi ed in the compromise prop >»\u2022\u2022 1 by Kng-land : that the powers of tin* commanders bs limited to military detail*, while the main stipulations should be settled by special pleni-|M)tentiaries.It is not known in St.Petersburg whether Schouvaloff, the Uussian ambassador at London, has yet presented this reiterated de* < lanUion to L«ird I >erby.The hollowness of the Turkish resistance in the Trojan Pass is regarded in St.Petersburg as a sign that the Turkish losses ar.* irretrievable.1 It is pointed out that Russia's losses, although j great, are considerably leas thin half a single normal year\u2019s contingent recruits.A Constantinople sp-iciai to Cologne says Mchetnet Ali has start** i for Kouiiieiia, com* missioned to couclu.ie ao armistice if h- judges the continuation of war impossible.The êSUin'i\u2018tr-1 undernt-vn ls that Mr.fiiyard, Hritish AmbasHadu encourage or reward this sort of iliyme ?This definition accords, certainly, witli the general understanding ; and we find it exemplifies! in such writings us some of tiie pucrtle whimsi-calitits of Wordsworth.In style, a alight remove alsive decent doggerel will serve for a ballad.I tsusualcust is bald ami prosaic,and many eminent |>oets have never condescended to toucli it.True, it admits of good versification, and dear nee s of narrative ; but no one can say that tin-i-e elements alone constitute poetry.Tiie ballaii-maker must confine himself to the real.He must keep a tigiit rein on his ideal conceptions if possessed of any.No eagle flights, no ethereal imagery can Ik* allowed to in-i* ifire with the even jog or high trot of the ballad, and In* ought to keep in mind tiiat however I* i ctby his production, *t must not ignore tiie pi .-ribihty ot a matrimonial alliance with s >me phbian air; ho that if a long-winded fellow should i lus hi* to ning it, lie can do so, even if it t.d.i* him half a day.I may In* mistaken in my view of this matter, may In* treading on exclusive premises, but I vei.tuit* 11 suggest that the form of the poem in question be ]t ft an open choice.Ohssrveh.[If the field of competition selected is a modest one, it is none tiie less worthy of the best powers of our best poets.Ballads have perhaps done more to form tiie characters of nations than any other form of poetry.If the muse's wing is curbed in the expression, tb n is abundant room for distinction in the selection and management of the subject.- Ki>.Witness.] THK FORM AND SIZK OF THK WEEKLY WITNESS.Silt,\u2014I see tiiat a number of your readers have given their opinion as to the size the Witness dioiild lie and the matter it should contain.I would say, leave tin* Witness as it is.I would ask where can we get so good a family paper for the price, one so fearless in condemning evil in ali its shapes and holding forth the truth and maintaining the right, regardless of favor from anyone ?My w ish is that w e had more such papers as tin* Witness.I think th** affairs of tliis Province, Quebec, would not he in such a miserable stat'* as they are at present.Now, sir, if you begin to alter the WlTNE-a you will be like tbo man that tried t * please everybody, and pleased nobody and lost Ids ass in tlx* bargain.1 would say to those who want the

would suggest that this lie a part of the present session's legislation.The by-law provided, if we remember riKht, .that a door bung found unbarred or a li^ht burning was sufficient evidence of a tavern being open at improper hours.In like maimer the possession of the appliances of the business on the part of one not licensed was deemed sullicient evidence that such a one was selling unlawfully.The great argument of our present honorable com\" tniasioneis, in excuse for an indefinite extension of the licensed trade, is the imp.is-nihility of suppressing unlicensed housoa.The carrying out of this idea manifests itself in the indice rejMjrt for last year, which show* an increased number of licensed and a decreased ntitn-l»er of unlicensed groggeries.How the police make their list of unlicensed places we do not know, hut the very existence of such a recog.ni/.ed list is a disgrace to the revenus department, and reveals a state of the law calling for immediate alteration.At present it is necessary to do very disagreeable, if not contemptible detective servie* to prove a misdemeanor which is yet so notorious that it is coolly noted in otiicial re|Kirts, and thus the no-torious misdemeanor goes on with no other interfence than the endorsement of being officially recognized a* a f«« t.In 1X75 a very good provision was enacted.It looked for a moment a* if revenue hod ceased to reign, and some one really desired to decrease the woes of the people.The number of licenses to be granted in Montreal was limited to two hundred and fifty\u2014say one to every five hundred Iieople, nu n, women and children, in the oity.But, alas, revenue wa* not to be curtailed ! Woe and crime must take their course ; revenue muât hav* *\u2022 » w ant* supplied, though it fed on the vital.-i of society,and at aaolher aensioii in thu ! same>car ]x7'>,th 'limitation w.ct reunved and we have now three huadre I ami thirty-four licensed 1 taverns and sixty-seven unlicensed.It was once a provision of the law that all application* fur , license be duly advertised so that a ueighhir* hood should he informed whether it was to he infc.ited with any nuisance of this kind or not,an 1 | object, if haply its puoyobjecticn might p tssihly avail against tho great necessity of increasing the revenue.They had a banco ut least to point out what thould he welcomed hy the Commissioners, any fact hearing on the fitness of the applicant for the responsible situation of p-iis in-ing the community, which the Government em-lowered these commisMiuners to confer.So long as the granting of licenses is a Htar Chamber performance the objection even of whole communities will he of little avail.Men claiming to rank ox temperance champions will continue to give voice amt countenance in favor of nun to whose illegalities they deliberately shut their eye*.When, however, the License Loatd is declared a public court, before which, as in Mngland an l in the country parts of < 'unada, Imth sides of each case can he imhlicly argued, most of this trilling with the public good will he at an end.( >n this point we do not make a suggestion, hut, in the name of the whole public, we iin|>erative!y demand that applications for certificates he hereafter heard in !>en court after due public notice of each hy advertisement.The advertising provision was abolished in the same year, 1H75, on account of expense.11 would cost say as much as one or two licenses would bring in.It should now Is- restored, and if the expense be irksome, c harge each applicant twenty cents for his line in the column, or even a dollat-* # » or two t» cover more papers and possibly leave a nice little margin iu favor of the revenue, hut let such proceedings henceforth he public.As things are noWj aman might get a license to start a saoon in Upper University street for the benefit of students, for all the inhabitants of th it favore 1 region need know about it, even though the application had been duly posted fir several hours iu the purlieus of the upper room from which the commissioners issue commissions to th- public poisoners.TiiK OKA ARSON CASKS.(h't.ui Our Onn Jlr/iorUr.)

How could the In-biat.H plead in a charge brought against \u201c others Ï\" And who are these others?The matter could lie attended to in ten minutes, and he ordered the Grand Jury hi retire and correct tln-ir finding, and the Court proceeded to try a case against one Paquette, accused of planting an obstruction on the Lau-rentides Railway.It might he well here to review very briefly the events in the HISTORY OK THE KA INDIANS, which resulted in the arrest of fourteen of their number, on a charge of setting fire to the Roman Catholic church, and contiguous buildings at Oka.In 1X08 a chief was to lie elected hy the Indians at Oka, then numbering about eight hundred iieople.ÎW Onasakenarat, an Iiinian V.*!'!
