grounds proving insufficient.We arc told bv one journal that the news of the reprieve produced a sensation and created disgust in town.It may have done so among the mob which crowded around the foot of the gallows, hut not we apprehend in the minds of impartial and reflecting men.The great majority of these were glad of it.And if there were general digust, we hope the time is far distant when the officer administering the high porni-gatives of the Crown in any part of the British dominions will be swayed one hair's breadth Irom the path of duty\u2014will yield one jot, when a fellow-creature's life trembles in the balance, to any expression of popular disgust at a criminal.That were the worst of all reasons for doing any man to death.\" The Hamilton Spectator intimâtes that Mr.J.C.Morrison will now resign his ! post as Solicitor General West, and the vacancy will bo ûllcd by a fresh appointment.The Kingston News of yesterday says :\u2014 44 It appears that the government Inyo resolved to extend aid towards the building of the town of Lindsay, lately destroyed by fire.Following the precedent in the cases of Montreal and Quebec, the administration h is offered toloaa the sum of £15,-000 for building purposes, at 6 per cent interest.\u201d There is a sharp competition going on between the three Trunk lines on westward bound business.The New York Central and Erie companies commenced cutting some time ago on the Boston rates by water, and now the Pennsylvania Central joins in the fight.First class freight to Chicago is reduced from $1,45 to 75 cents.Defalcation.\u2014Lc Pays says that Dr.Louis Laurie, Revenue Inspector for the District of Jolictte, h a defaulter to the Government of money received by him for tavern licenses issued, and penalties during the last Unee years, to the amount of upwards of two thousand dollars.The Government received the information through Mr.Jobin, the member for Juliette, that a misappropriation of the public moneys had occurred, and Mr.Bouchetto.Chief Inspector, being instructed to enquire into the matter, the amount of the defalcation was ascertained to be as above stated.Dr.Laurie received the appointment from the present Government, of whom he was a zealous political supporter.His character as a man of respectability stood well in the neighborhood.\u2014[Montreal Herald, Sept.5).I.,1 TEST FROM THE SEA T OF WAR.(From the Now York Herald.J THE SITUATION.The information ns to the death of Jefferson Davis accumulates to an extent that leaves little doubt of his decease.Special despatches from Louisville, Ivy, were received by our correspondents in Washington yesterday, confirming the news.Intelligence had reached Louisville from Fortress Monroe that Mr.Davis was dead, and that the rebel Higs in that vicinity had been flying at half-mast fur the past two or three lays.Parties who arrived fr.tii Richmond state that the probability of his speedy demise was couvasse) freely in that eity o i Saturday, and we learn, by way of Nashville, tint the rebd Congres1, which had adjourned on that night in consequence of the precarious condition of Mr.P.ivis, has since been called together by Mr.Stephens, the Vice President.All these facts tend strongly to confirm the rumor of the decease ol Mr.Davis.Groat excitement prevailed in Washington yesterday in anticipation of a great battle, which was confidently expected as an inevitable necessity on the part of the rebels.There is a goner d belief existing there .that a serious conflict will take place to-day, and th .t the rebels will sustain a severe repulse\u2014the perfect condition of Gen.McClellan\u2019s army warranting that anticipation.It is reported, and we believe with truth, that General Beauregard\u2019s army is suffering terribly from measles, which is decimating the camps.We learn from the telegraph report by the Asia that the London iilobe (Lord Palmerston\u2019s organ) says that 22,500 Regular troops arc expected to reach Canada, within the space of one month.This will bring up the \u2019Regulars to about thirty thousand Regulars troops, rather an imposing force in the eyes of Brother Jonathan.But it happens that the telegraph is never very reliable, particularly in the matter of figures.Last week it sent two hundred (200) assassins to the domicile of Garibaldi, which on the arrival of the mails dwindled down to two.The coming reinforcements may and probably will undergo the same process.T Mr.Russell\u2019s Letters.\u2014Wc resume J to-day the publication of extracts from the , Times correspondence, as giving informa- ! tion on some points which have not yet j reached us through other channels.There is in the Times of the 24th ult., a short letter from Mr.Russell, dated Washington.August 10: It is principally confined to the business done by the late special session 1 of Congress.The portions of it given cdsswhere will be found interesting.The Belle Isle Route for Steam ships.\u2014Captain Ballantyne, of the Canadian steam line, has written to the Nautical Magazine on the subject of the passage by the «Straits of Belle Isle.He contends that passage to the .St.Lawrence is the safest and best, because as free from field ice, except very early in the season, and much more free from foss, as well as shorter.Tt« comparative freedom from f*g\u201c i'v*< Mire to the brutal yell for\"

the most atrocious ever perpertrat-ed iu tiiis Province, and was attended by circumstances which oven a Sue would have not ventured to detpil in his fervid pages ; and strange to say, was discovered in the course of an investigation into the presumed murder of one of his sons, but of which it proved ii j was guiltless, tho boy coming forward when Burns was in prison on charge of doing away with him and a half-witted person with whom he went away from his father\u2019s house.Last November young Burns disappeared witli Nelson Lillian, the crazy person alluded to.and suspicions were excited that there had been foul play used.These suspicions soon warmed into general excitement iu the neighborhood of the township of Bolton\u2014Burns\u2019 residence\u2014and a neighbor told him that it was generally believed that ho had murdered his own sou ami the old man, and that the bodies were concealed about the premises,\u2014asking him if he had any objections to allow tho neighbors to search the house and farm.Burns at first hesitated, hut finally consented This neighbor said they would proceed with the search that very afternoon.Burns refused to allow that, saying, \u201c don\u2019t coins until tomorrow morning.\" Tiiis conversation took place in Burns\u2019 house and iu his wife\u2019s presence, and it appeared that they both went the very same afternoon or evening and made a lire in the sugar bush, GO or 7l buin;' drunk and incapable on the fliJ»), and Colonel MM» * in reply publishing aslatnnont, which appear* in all the newspapers, in which he says be was not drunk, and prays Cud to forgive his accuser.They will be taught by »;xp' ii< in »\u2022, ami the sweet uses of adversity\u2014* bit tor to thorn\u2014will tbreo t hem to bund todis-rlplln''in ordor that they inny conquer, sq] 4 if they desire to carry on the campaign, and ' escape the Caudinu Forks, they must stoop, as people free, intelligent, and bravo as they are have done, to the tiirail of order and obedience.General M.Dowell, 1 am glad to say, remains in command of the troops at Arlington, although serious accusations have been made against him in the papers, most if not all of, which arc quite unfounded.What could he do with the materials he had except, as the President said, \u201c drive the locomotive as he found it ?\u2019\u2019 Grunted bravery, heroism, devotion, and all that kind of thing, what could be expected of a regiment thus described in a Now York paper ?\u2014 \u201c In one of our regiments, while the colonel was on trial for drunkennesa, the major lay drunk in his tent, and the lieutenant-colonel was so intoxicated ut evening drill that he hud to stagger up to the adjutant, and request him to give orders.\" The president is now vested with most extraordinary powers such as were never heard of before, except under a virtual despotism, because, by a recent bill, he is enabled to dismiss ofliccrs at pleasure without giving a court of inquiry.But the evil was enormous.Everywhere is the same story.At Newport the troops have been in a state of mutiny ; officers have shot soldiers in self-defence.Demoralisation prevailed largely in Butler\u2019s force,* and the .11100 had burned down part of the pretty village of Hampton.The duv before yester-dny a soldier shot a comrade in the street close to the spot wh re I was standing\u2014one of many similar cases.The officers may not be responsible for all this, but they are to be blamed for a good deal of disorder.As a treat to Prince Napoleon, who is passing ids time hero quietly, the Washington papers propose that ho should be invited to review the army by General M'ClclIun, but I do not think he will be asked to do anything of '.he kind.POLITICAL APFAins.The reports industriously circulated in some American journals that Great Britain has demanded, or solicited, the establishment of a free port for the exit of cotton are untrue.There is no foundation whatever for such statements, which are prepared by the same people who originate the stories of Admiral Milne's despatches and views in reference to the blockade.The indifference to foreign politics which has marked the proceedings of the congress lias been a suitable commentary on the mode in which American affairs have been treated in Europe.Mr.Sumner was severely rebuked for alluding to the probable effects of the increase of the Morrill tariff on the sentiments of Franco and England ; ns if the Senate regarded such an allusion as a confession of weakness or an indecent introduction of an unsuitable element of consideration.The hill confiscating the property of roheis passed after a division of GO to 80, notwithstanding the energetic and argumentative opposition of Mr.Breckinridge and others.Congress adjourns to-morrow till the 5th December, unless summoned by the President at an earlier day.Members of Congress ore the first to touch the nice now paper money.On receiving their salaries they were presented with $50 in gold, and with $250 in the treasury notes, us payment for the month.They did not like it.The brokers charge 5 per cent, discount, although the government pays 6 p ,r cent, interest on the two year notes, so that there is a loss to the original holder of 6« per coat, per annum if he submits to the discount.Th sc, however, are very trifling matters in consideration of that which is to conic.There is a rumour of nn attack on Cairo.It can onty succeed in consequence of incapacity and cowardice on the part of the defenders.Washington, Aug.1G.The heat has been so oppressive that oven if the armies were ready for action they could not light.Prince Napoleon on his excursion to Mount Vernon on Wednesday lost two horses from sunstroke.Falsi Ptuuoits in doth Camps.In my last letter I referred to the misrepresentations respecting the visits of the Confederates to Mount Vernon, which had so far influenced General Scott that he wrote a general order, rallier remarkable in its phraseology, warning the Federal troops against the commission of any acts of Vandalism should they be in that vicinity, similar misapprehensions on the part of General Beauregard led to his sending a flag of truce to inquire whether the Federalists had been hanging prisoners taken in battle.The explanation is that some gymnasts of a regiment were exhibiting their feats for the amusement of their comrades, and had been taken by the spectators as the victims of punishment.It is to be hoped that the report which has appeared of the brutal flogging of a Northern woman by a mob in the Seceded States is equally untrue.The Difficulties in Congress.Indeed, it has been with difficulty that the ultra party in both Houses have been prevented froui the passing the most violent resolutions day after day, and the very last sitting of Congress witnessed several attempts of the kind.Mr.Diven proposed that at a time when armed rebellion threatened the integrity of the Union and the overthrow of the Government, any and all resolutions recommending ot designing to make terms witli armed rebels is cither cowardice or treason; which Mr.Cox met by a resolution that the member from New York who endeavoured to introduce a resolution denouncing over 40 members of this House because of tbeir vote for proposition to adjust our national difficulties as cowards and traitors,deserves the censure of this House and of all true patriots for the falsity, arrogance and insults to his peers contained in his unparliamentary resolution.It was not without opposition at the last that the resolution of Congress approving and confirming the acts of the President for suppressing insurrection and rebellion was passed before the House adjourned ; and the forlorn hope, represented by Messrs.Beckcnridgc, Bayard, and a few others, showed light to the very last.Desertions Wholesale.If I am correctly informed, the desertions from the Northern army arc numerous enough to excite serious apprehensions.By a private letter from a country gentleman in Maryland, I learn that all the byways and roads are filled with men making their way homo.Home are working in the neighbourhood ns laborers on the farms, others are hiding in the large towns and that they are numerous nmv he judged from the fact of G5 being counted going past one house in rather nn out of the way place in one day, The stories of deserters arc never to be credited.These men complain of bad treatment from officers, want of food ami no pay.It is knoun that some officers never stopped their career from the moment they turned their hack at Bull\u2019s Him till they ran to earth in their own homes, and by their luv-sUlcs iu the North.Ifunything could increase tbo schism between the regulars and volunteers, it has been found in the bitter manner in which the Artillery speak of tbu desertion of the troops placed to support the United States' batteries, which were fought with great gallantry, and» only abandoned at the lust luoment, Pg tSfrlrgraplj.ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP AFRICA.Seven days later from Europe Pt.John\u2019s, N.F., Sept.8.Tlio Royal Mail Steamship Africa, from Liverpool, on

for the independence of tho Holy See, the people of Romo must be appealed to, and if that they elect Victor Emmanuel King, the French troops on the following day will be relieved by Italian troops.LATEST FROM TUE U.S.Baltimore, 9th, P.M.\u2014Two or 3 cars and a train containing a detachment cf the Ira Harris Cavalry of New York, under Col.Kilpatrick, were thrown from tho track
