January 7.\u2014Mr.Stevenson, from the Committee on Mines and Mining, reported a Bill to 80 amend the mining laws as to allow the agent of a mining company to make affidavit of location.The Jaw now requires the owner of the claim himself to make the affidavit, and prohibits the agent from doing so.tended by those in opposition that the Bill was altogether in the interest of capital and mono.oly, and that its passage would give capitalists an opportunity to take up the best mining lands in the West.On the otber hand it was argued that the Bill was in the interest of the miner.The Bill was passed by a vote of 177 yeas to 29 nays.COLORADO PRODUCTION OF BULLION.From the yearly review of the mining districts otf Colorado, published in the Denver News of December 31, is obtained the following summary of the value of the ore production of 1879, by counties or districts :\u2014 Leadville, Lake County.$17,298,460 Gilpin County.2,368,836 Cedar Creek County.:.\u2026.\u2026.2,000,000

OF MINING IN LEADVILLE.Leadville closed 1878 with five sampling and smelting works.The city now eon- tains eighteen establishments of this class, with over thirty furnaces, treating over 4,000 tons of ore per week.In addition to this the very high grade ores are shipped to Argo, Golden aud the east, while those of the low grade class remain on the dumps, awaiting the reduction of cost in treatment that will come ir with the railroads, The bullion product of Leadville District in 1878 was placed at $2,500,000.For 1879, the best judges estimate the actual yield at $17,298,460, or à gain of 700 per cent.INSURANCE NEWS, THE EQUITABLE INSURANCE COMPANY, The New York Equitable Insurance Company wil: pay a semi-annual dividend of 5 per cent.on the 12th inst, THE DANGERS OF CELLULOID.The recent terrible disaster at Newark recalls the dangers connected with the use and manufacture of celluloid, a cheap 1m tation of ivory, coral, malachite, amber, &:.This celluloid, which is coloured to imitate the substances above named, is compored of gun cotton, a most active explosive, and camphor which # highly combustible, the result being an article which is very easily i.nited, a mere spark being sufficient to set it a~blaze and all the more noxious because the danger is hidden under the guire of what are not regarded as inflammable substances, A SUSPICIOUS CASE.A case in life insurance, which is likely to create quite a little flurry of excitement, has just occurred.David Lsag, of North Lebanon, Pa., died at the age ot 55 years, after only a few week\u2019s illness and an insurance of $20,000 is now claimed on his life.David Long, it is said, was a poor man, aud the premium or such a large insurance far beyond his means to pay.This is in itself a very suspicious circumstance, and the company proposes to la k into the matter carefully before paying tle claim.To put it mildly, on the face of it, it looks like a case of speculative life insurance, 88 if the bolders of the policy knew more of the old man\u2019s condition than the medical examiner could learn in a hasty examination, and took out a + heavy insurance to profit by his early death, 1f the policy was so A long discussion followed.It was con- jy obtained, it was, of course, an incentive to help Mr, Long out of the world as quickly and easily as ible, or at least if nature called and sickness occurred, not to stand in the way of his passing comfortably to the other world.But while the company is inquiring into the facts of his death, would it not be well to investigate also the acts ot its agent ?He is supposed to act in the interest of the company,and it is his duty to infcrm himself as fully as possible concerning every risk before offering it to the company.Ifin this instance he did make proper inquiry, and found a man applying for $20,000 insurance, who, from his appearance and surroundings, couid scarcely afford to pay the premium on one- tenth of that amount, it is strange, to say the least, that he should not have called the company\u2019s attention to that fact when he forwarded the application.\u2014 American Exchange.RAILWAYS.OLEVELAND AND PITT2BURG.The thirty-second annual meeting of the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad Comny was held at Cincinnati, January 7th.Past year\u2019s directors were re-elected.The receipts on account of rental, interest on the sinking fund, &c., were $1,214,646 ; dividends paid, $746,875; the balance, except $.1,332.25 on hand, was expended for mortgage interest and sinking funds.The work of relaying the track with steel is steadily going torward, and before the close of the current year there will be a continuous steel track between Cleveland and Pittsburg = The road is operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the lessee.The total funded debt on the road is $5,078,343.THE NEWHAVEN AND NORTHAMPTON By R.COMPANY.New HavEN, January 7,\u2014At the annual meeting of the New Haven and Northampton Railroad Company to-day it was voted to build an extension froin Northampton to Turner's Falls with a branch to the state road either at Shelburne Falls or North Adams at an estimated cost of $660,000, to be in

points, The information furnished indicates an increase of 200,000 hogs in packing at the intericr points and a decrease of 700,000 at the six large cities, making a total of about 6,980,000 hogs to March 1, against 7.480,000 last year.The total packing to date at all points is 4.650.000 hogs, against 4,860,000 hogs last year.\u2018Lhe average weight to date is about 9} pounds lighter than a year ago and the yield of lard four to five pound lighter per hog.There is an ample supply of hogs to reach the estimates given, and probably to exceed them.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 IMPROVEMENT IN

are treated in the same manner as organzines, but with a much weaker spe~ cial finish.The trams are given two twists in contrary dirctions., The first, of from 80 to 100 twists, applied to three or four threads at the same time; the second, of from 20 10 40.Ther is then only the ordinary twist, with this advantage, that the silk bears scouring better and shows better than trams of only one twisting.There is also a certain saving of waste silk.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CORN EXCHANGE REPORT., Friduy, Januaru 9.Wheat in Chicago $c lower.BEERBOHM\u20198 Apvices\u2014Floating Cargoes

however, instead of coming to their senses, seem to have got madler on the malt question, and threaten to angment their duty.Thereupon Sir Leonard runs away from the duty he has chalked up, and tries to make things pleasant again by ar Order-in-Council reducing the duty by one ball.Bat where 1s the authority of Parliament if a Ministry can reduce he duties that ib has imposed We have always protested against these tariff changes by Order-in-Council; but there was a certain reason in them when the tariff was mede professedly only for the sake of putting money into the Treasury.Then it might be said that the Government could, so to speak, forgive a debt, or release an obligation which it found it could dispense with.The case 18 al- togeth@® different now, when the tariff is made not for tte Government, but for the citizens; for an industry bas-d upen the tariff might be ruined by the mistake or caprice of a Minister or Ministry, though Parliament had supposed tbat it had provided the means of building that industry up.We suppose in this case the maisters, as a body, will approve the reduction, if it have the effect of preventing the Americans from shutting the door tighter ugainst them, but that way not always be the case, when law regularly enacted is repealed by arbitrary authority.\u2014_\u2014 ANNEXATION, &c,-=We have received a copy of the Weekly Notes, from Philadelphia, with an article on these subjects, to which our attention is directed.There i3, however, nothing novel in the article.The writer says what has been rapeated a hundred times, that the Umted States do not want us; bus would probably take us if we asked them.As, however, we have no: ye: moved in that direction, it would be just as well for them to take the well.known advice given to à young lady who was intimating her possible repugnance to a marriage, to wait till she was asked.The author has so little studied the subject us to believe that lower duiies are imposed in Canada on English thin on American goods, which, had it been true, would, from the point of view of those who made our tariff, been at least eonsistent.As it is, they made the stupid tariff of the Uaited States an excuse for a generally protective tariff which strikes the goods of Eagland, where our guods go without duty, as heavily as those ef our neighbours, whose duties against us are frequently prohibitive, and who, when they agreed to admit lobsters free, contrived to give the lie to the treaty by putting a duty on the cane, with the sole effect of giving English consumers a chance to eat cheap lobsters, which otherwise would have beea eaten by Americans.Hottentot Venus.More than all, Mr, Parnell himself, according to the New York World, which quotes his words in support of its assertion, bas found the atmosphere of the United States tone down some of his more \u201c advanced \u201d doctrines.Our contemporary comments upon the late letter of Lord Dunraven, whom, it justly remarks, is not a Saxon; but Irish by generations going back for centuries before the Parnells were ever heard of in that island.It intimates that his Lordship\u2019s arguments and statements, which it reprints, are much more valuable and convincing than thoss of Mr.Parnell.And, then,as we have already mentioned, it quotes the gentleman last named, speaking at Newark, the previous evening : \u201c We have,\u201d said he, \u201c modified our views and purposes since \u201cwe came here, and we should be \u201c criminal if we did not embrace this \u201c opportumity to eollect money for \u201cfamine relief.We need but httle \u201cmoney for our political uses.\u201d Nothing could be more striking than this acknowledgment ; and no ore, probably, will doubt the theory of the World that the modification is the effect of American influences, _\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 EE 1HE WEATHER.Vennor let his horses get their heads 80 badly thet we have long ago given him up as a guide, philosopher or friend in the weather business.But we do not know that other speculators on this interesting and universal subject do much better than our Canadian prognosticator.A few daysago we mentioned à prophecy of several years old mads by the Astronomer Royal, of Scotland, to the effect that the present year would in England be a particularly cold one.But then, as we pointed out, his concla- sions purported to be derived from the periodicity of certain very red and presumably fiery spots in the sun.Now the augmentation or diminution of solar heut, as indicated by these spots or their absence, must be felt in the Same Way, and in due degree ali over our planet\u2014at least, that must be the reflection of men who are net astronomers, Royal, or otherwise.To leave this continent out of account in a calculation of the consequences of a greater or less heat in the great centre and focus of warmth for the entire solar system is to commit what, without meaning a pua, may be termed à solecism.Probably the Scotch Astronomer Royal did not intend to do 80, but writing for Britons he did not carry his forecast farther than the British Isles, though his theory would presumably have made is apply to the world at large.However that may be, the faets seem te disprove the sun-spot system, as understood and expounded has had an exceptionally cold year, with weather still more than usually severe in North America, since the beginning of the winter, we have been enjoying weather certainly of more than average mildness.Itis true, the mercury bas had one or two pretty severe dips below the zero mark, and the gentlu plumber has met with some calls on his very careful and slow consideration of the situation.But the three or four the rise of the thermometer, have not afflicted us.The sharp spells of cold \u201cLA THEMIS \u201d\u2014Revue de Legislation et de Jurisprudence.\u2014This is a very excellent publication, and of a kind in which we think our

Auctioneer.Montreal, 13th December, 1879 298 ex Miscellaneons.\u201cTHE SUN\u201d FOR 1380.Tan SUN will deal with the events of the year 1880 in its own farhioa, now pretty well understo d by everybody.From January 1 to December 3} it will be conducted as; a newspaper, writtem in the English language, aud printed for the people- As a newspaper, THE SUN believes in getting all the news of \u2018he wortd promptly, and presenting it in the most iutelligible shape\u2014the shape that will enabie iis readers to ke.p well abreast of the age with the least unproductive expenditure of time.'.he greatest interest to the greatest number\u2014that is the law con\u2018rolling its daily make- up.It now has a circula tion very much larger than that of any other American newspaper, and enjoys an income which it is at all times prepared te spend liberally for the benefit of its readers.People of all conditions of life and all ways ef thinking buy and 162d Txx SUN ; and they ail derive satisfaction of some sort from its columns, for they keep on buying and reading it.In its comments on men and affairs, TRE SUN believes that the only guide ot policy should be common sense, iuspired by genuine American principles and backed by honesty of purpose.For this reascn it is, and will continueto be, absolutely independent of party, class, clique, ovæani- zation, or interest.It is for all, but of nope.It will continue to praise what is good and reprobate what is evil, taking care that its language 1s to the point and plain, beyond th» pocsibility of being misunderstood.lt is uninfluenced by motives that do not appear on the su.face ; it bas no opinions to sell, save those which may be had by any purchaser for two cents.lt hates injustice and rascality even more than it hates unnecessary words.\u201d It abhors frauds, pities focls, and deplores nincompoops of every species.It will continue throughout the ypar 1880 to cha:tise the first class, instruct the second, and discountenance the tuird.Allhonestmen, with honest \u2018convictions, whether sound or wistaken, are its friends.And THE SUN makes no bones of telling the truth to its friends and aout its friends whenever occasion arises for plain speaking These are the principles upon which TaE SUN will be conducted during the year to come.Tne 1860 year will be one in which no pa triotic American can afford to close his eyes to public affairs.It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of the political events whice 1t bas in store, or the necessity of resolute vigilance on the part of every citizen who desires to preserve the Government that the founders gave us.The debates snd acts of Congres, the utterances of the press, the exciting contests of the Republican and Democratic parties, now nearly equal in strength throughout the country, the varying drift of public sentiment, will all bear directly and effectively upon the twenty-fourth Presidential election, to be held in November.Four years ago next November, the will of the nation, as expressed at the polls, was thwarted by ap abominable conspiracy, the promoters and beneficiaries of which still hold tne offices they stole.Will the crime of 1876 be repeated in 1870?The past decade of years opened with a corrupt, ex- travag «nt and insolent Administration intrenched at Washington.Taz Sun did something toward dislodging the gang and breaking its power, The same men are now intriguing to restore their leader and themselves to places from which they.were driven by the indignation of the people.Will they succeed?The coming year will bring the answers to there momentous questions.THE Suny will be cn hand to chronicle the facts as they are developed, and to exhibit them clearly and fearlessly in their relatio:s to expediency and right.Thus with a habit of philosophical good humor in looking at the minor affairs of life, and in great things a steadfast purpose to maintain the rights of the people and the principles of the Constitution against all aggressors, THE SUN is prepared to write a truthful, instructive, and at the same time entertaining history of 1880.Our rates of subscription remain unchanged.Forthe DaiLy Sum, a four-page sheet of twenty-eight columns, the price by mail, post paid, is 55 cents a month, or $6.50 a year; or.including the Sunday paper, an eight-page sheet fifty-six columns, the price is

\u2018Within a fair enchanted land ; And many a bride witk lingering feet ; Aud many a matron calm and sweet ; And many an old man bent with pain ; And many a solemn funeral train ; And sometimes red

a young man, named Alphonse MalbœufË, is endeaveuring to put it into practical use, and for s0 dc- ing was yesterday taken before the Bench.Shortiy after thres 0\u2019clock yesterday morz- ing five young men hailed Joseph Miliard, carter, at the corner of Craig and St.Lawrence streets, and asked him to drive them to their respective homes in the West-End of the city.They lived in different street, and each one was left at the door of his home, Malbœuf alone remaining in the sleigh.When near the residence of the latter he instructed the driver to stop, a8 he did not wish to be heard going in at such an unseagonable hour.The carter accordingly halted, when his fare asked him if he could change a $4 bill, but he answered he could not, as the only change he had on his person was $2 in silver.The youth then told the driver that he would hand him the $4 bill, accept the $2 and could get the remaining $1.50 when passing the stand at the corner of St.Lawrence street, where the driver waa in the habit of standing.The agreement was made, the carter drove off, but hissug- picion being aroused, he retarned only to find his fare gone.Detectives Arcand and Lafon, however, ran the chase to earth yesterday, and he was remanded.Tue LACHINE CANAL.\u2014Some time ago mention wae made in these columns of some trouble that existed in the completion of Section 11 on this Canal.The contractors for the work are Messrs.Davis & Sons.Yesterday forenoon, Sir Charles Tupper, Minister of Railways, &c., nc- companied by Mr.Girouard, M.P.; Mr, Desjardine, M.P.; M.P, Ryan, M.F.; Mr.Harrington, Engineer in charge of Lachine Canal Works, and Mr.Joslin, CE, visited Section 11.They dr>ve along the Canal bank on the south side as far as Cote St.Paul, and along the north until they reached Lachine.On reaching the works some 200 men were found doing nothing and cougregated about the Gontractor\u2019s office.Mr.Girouard briefly addressed them, stating that it was quite possible rhat the works would go on as soon as Sir Charles reached Ottawa and laid the matter before the Chief Engineer.Sir Charles expressed his opinion te the effect that the Government engineers would inspect the work, and if their decision was in tue affirmative, Messrs.Davis & Co.would be compelled to go on with their contract.The erowd then dispersed and the party drove to the breek-water, which is two huudred feet wide.It was explained to Sir Charles that the water was now four feet above the mason work and that, therefore, it would be next to impossible td prosecute it at this season of the year.Itis confidently believed the work will be gone on with, which, in these hard times, will bu a great boon to the hundreds mow out of employment.Ter Prorostp EXTENsION oF TEE CITY \u2014Tuz

in criminal trials were the cases of James Irwin, who was tried and convicted of shooting David Carey ; David James Spence, who was found guilty of shooting John Gunning Bell ; and Michael Cooney, who was convicted of shooting John Riley.In the first case Irwin fired two shots at Carey on St.Mary\u2019s street, the latter\u2019s residence,about midnight.Both the shota took effect, and Irwin, on being convicted, was sentenced by the Hon.Mr.Justice Mook to five years in the penitentiary.In the case of Spence,the shooting took place during a row near Papineau square, and the ball, being fired into the crowd, hit Gunning Bell in the back.Spence was sentenced to five years\u2019 imprisonment, In the last case, Cooney, with others, attacked and fired at several men at night, one bullet taking effect on John Riley.Coosey was sentenced to two years.The friends of the accused interested themselves on their behalf and presented a petition for their liberation to the Governor-General, which His Excellency was graciously pleased to grant, upon their furnishing bonds to keep the peace until April 25th, 1883, the date upon which the sentences of Irwin and Spence would expire.Cooney\u2019s sentence expires on April 25th, 1880.Yesterday morning James Irwin and David James Spence were brought up to the office of the Clerk of the Crown.They were taken before the Hon.Mr.Justice Monk, who liberated them upon their furnishing bail, Irwin himself in $400, and Messrs, Robert Mitehell and William Stenhouse in $200 each; Spence himself in $400, and Messrs.Warden King and Archibald Spence in $200 each.THE FATAL KXPLOSION AT BACK RIVER.THE INQUEST.An inquest was held on Thursday afternoon, at the General Hospital, on the body of the man John Ebbitt, who had died in that institution from the effects of burns, eaused by an explosion of gas at the Convent of the Sacred Heart, Sault-au-Recollet, After Dr.Bell had explained the injuries the man had received, Charles Garth said he had been a member of the firm of Garth & Sons, but was not now.He described the building and the new gas-holder, but could not give any reason for the explosion.He said the deceased was a great smoker; a spark from a cold chisel might have caused an explosion.AncuisaLun KryLm, foreman for Messrs.Garth & Co., said\u2014I had charge of the fixing of the apparatus, and the only parties employed in the gas-house were the deceased, E.Giroux, and witness.He said the new gas-holder was in working order, and had been for weeks; at the time of the accident Ebbitt and Giroux were cutting out the gas-holder.When the explosion took place he was standing in the doorway between the gas-house and the carpenters shop, and the two men were cutting the ribs.They were not smoking at the time he left them.He first knew of the occurrence by hearing an explosion and seeeing a flash.On entering the building he encountered Giroux trying to get out, and he took him into the air.He then went tosearch for Ebbitt and found him in a hole near the furnace.He took him into the air and deceased called him by name, but did not say how the explosion occurred.There was not sufficient gas to cause witness any easiness.The nearest fire to where the explosion occurred was in the carpenter shop; there were from six to eight inches of gas in the new holder ; there might have been gas in the bottom of the old holder, but not sufficient to prevent working as the tap on the top was open ; the wood around the old holder could nothave been impregnated with gas beeause it was always full of water ; a large spark froma chisel would cause an explusion ; both deceased and Giroux were sober steady men , they might'have lighted their pipes after witness left them, The inquest was adjourned until yesterday morning.Mr.CHARLES GARTH, superintending the erection of the new works, ou behalf of the Ladies of the Convent, said he wished, in the interest of the proprietors of the Gas Works, to court the fullest euquiry on the part of the jury, not only for the purpose of ascertaining the cause of the present disaster, but that the future might be secured from the possibility of a repetition.Jean BERGERON, carpenter employed on the works, deposed to having entered the premises a few minutes previous to the occurrence of the event.He made a general remark to the other men that there was a bad smell which made him feel sick.The other men wem about to light theing pipes, when they were startled by the fire, and on looking out of the shop saw a flash of flame, The bad smell was everywhere about the premises, and not confined to the shop.He had been employed in the works seven years, and did not know the strong smell might be dangerous or have the effect it had.Jousrx Mapæau, another workman, gave similar evidence, and said on the day before New Year's he shut the ventilator with a bar.Epovarp Grroux, the surviving sufferer, was examined by the jury on his couch, He said at the time of the accident he had his hammer in bis hand, but at the moment of the accident occurring he was not striking, neither was his mate, All of a sudden the flash of flame came from behind him and spread over his face.The flame came from the direction of the furnace.The jury then retired, and after about a quarter of an hour's consideration, returned the following verdict:\u2014«The said John Ebbitt came to his death by the explosion of gas in the property belonging to the Ladies of the Sacred Heart, at Sault-au- Recollet, which gas exploded by fire, either from the stove or furnace, the quantity of free gas in the premises being much larger than it should have been, owing to the ventilation remaining closed through oversight.\u201c The jurors recommend that greater precaution in future be taken by the parties in charge of such works to prevent similar accidents.\u201d EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE OUR PARIS LETTER.Ter Szverz WraTuxz\u2014Tea Pooz axD _ Drerressen\u2014Tun History or Coup WinTurs\u2014ConscRIPTION\u2014Tus | Ix- MACULATE CONCEPTION.From our Own Corraspondent, Paris, December 24, 1879.The great preoccupation of the moment is the uncommoniy severe cold whioh is making us pay dear for the \u201c\u2018 open\u2019 win= tera which have fallen to the lot of this city since the cold weather of the siege.The great quantity of snow that has fallen, obstructing communications, causing many deatns and a still greater number of ac- eidents, the intense bitterness of the frost which is rapidly congealing the rivers, and the enormous rise in the price of all articles of food, all cembine to render the present season one to be remembered for its many and serious torments.Cold winters being the exception here, neither the people themselves nor their Municipal authorities know how to meet its requirements.The anow lies in the streets, only a small part of it being got rid of by the cantonnters and the supplementary spades and brooms called to the work of cleaning it away; comparatively few vehicles venture out, the greater number of the omnibusees and tramways are in their sheds, and nine- tenths of the business of this metropolis are at a standstill.Several of the theatres have closed their doors.The enormous distress among the poor of this city has been aggravated by the dismissal of the modest and devoted functionaries who have been charged, forso many years, with the distribution of the public charity, and the installation, in their place, of new employes, hangers-on of the men now in power, who know nothing of the work into which they have been so summarily thrust, who are alike distasteful to the portion of the public which gives, and to the still larger portion waich receives.The distribution of alms to the necessitous being made a political affair, the public of the Capital, moved thereto by the urgent appeals of the most influential member of the French press, is making & noble response to the demand thus made ea their charity.The example so brilliantly set by Le Figaro is being rapidly followed by many of the other influential papers.Funds for opening adup ki:chens, providing sieeping places for the army of wretches who, in this terrible weather, are sleeping under doorways, on benches in the open air, under carts, in the alleys of markets, &ec.; for giving bread, coals, &c., to the starving; and for opening in variovs quarters of the town, large rooms, well warmed and providea w th benches, in which the poor can come and warm themselves.These plans are being rapidly adopted im many of the principal cities of France; the thermometer bas already fallen four degraes lower than the lowest reading of the ex ceptionnlly cold winter of the war ; meteorologists are agreed in prophesying a long continuance of extremely cold weather; there is à vastiy greater amount of destitution te be relieved than there was after the fall of the Empire, and exceptional arrangements are evidently needed to prevent the catastrophes which the combination of cold and hunger necessarily threatens.Similar conditions prevail over the greater part of Eurcpe, where the amount of distress among the masses is truly appalling, even in Italy, masses of snow have falien, in many places, to the astonishment of the children who had never before beheld a flake of snow, which, hows ever, histcry asserts to have fallen during 40 days in the Eternal City, in the 896:b year before the Christian era.Eight cer- turies later, the Biack S:a was frozen over for three weeks.In 608 nearly all the vines in France were frozen.In 860, snow aud in'ense cold tormented Europe during six monthe, even the Adriatic being frozen.4 In $74 he Bosphorous was a mass of ice, which was crossed on foot for some weeks, the intense cold being follow.d by epi demics and famine to which a third ef the population of France succumbed, In 1163 the rivers were frozen and wine congealed in the cellars.In 1323, the Baltic was uted asa thoroughfare for six weeks ; in 1408, nearly all the bridges of Paris were carried away by the ice floating on the Se ine, and the Clerk of the Parliament of that day declared himself ur- able to register the decrees owing to the ink freezing in his pen, despite the huge fires kept burning in his office.In 1468, the people of Flanders, who often have to cut their bread with hatchets, were obliged tu chop up their wine iu the same way, melting the lumps as needed; the cold being even more intense than it wag ten years before, when 41 000 men eu- camped on the Danube.In 1504 and 1627, there were games and bontires on the Thames.In 1684, a great fair was held on the Thames, the ice being 12 inches thick, go that \u201ctke people kept trades on the Thames as in a fayre, till February 4, 1684,\u201d says au inscription on an old book of that date, \u201cabout forty coaches plying regularly upon that river.\u201d In 1716, a similar fair was held on that same grea: tidal watercourse; and again the same thing occurred in 1740.The years 1766 and 1789 were notable for intemse cold all over Europe.The last ice-fair on the Thames took place \u2018in 1814; but intense cold prevailed in 1829, 1846, and 1849, when the greatest cold was experienced that had ever been known in France, since the invention of the thermometer.In 1849, the quicksilver frome in Norway.The winter of 1853 was a cold one over the greater part cf this hemisphgre ; and the winters of 1860 and 1870-1 were exceptionally severe.The mass of raw youths swept off to bar- rack-life under the horrible conscription regime of France are so severely handled in their new quarters that it seems impossible that the country should not insist on à change of system.The unlucky youths carried off to fill the maw cf the Molcch of war are stinted in food, subjected to innumerable hardships, many of which are doubtless inseparable from barrack-life, while others appear to re.ult from the penchant for tyranny inherent in the mind of French officialism, and they are now compelled to go through such violent physical exercises, especially in the cavalry, as often result in strains and maimings which will be felt through the rest of their life by the victims of these new disciplinary torments.Cavalry recruits are not un- frequently killed by these exercises within a short time of their arrival \u201c under the flag.\u201d The fact ia that the French Government believes, rightly or wrongly, that the German army is maintained in its present formidable state of preparedness for recommencing war, specially wita a view to taking advantage of the first available pretext for precipita:- ing the fresb duel with France, which the German Government believes (and rightly) that France fully intends to provoke as soon as she fuels stiong enough to risk such a struggle, the two partics to which are consequently bent on exceeding each other\u2019s military preparations.The advocates of peace have consequently but a sorry outlook in whichever direction they turn their eyez.M.Jules Hansen, who, during the last fifteen years, has been employed in turn by the Danish and French Governments in secret diplomacy, has just published an interesting aud instructive pamphlet entitled, Behind the Scenes of the Diplomatic World,\u201d teeming with revalations enough to fill half-a-dez:n of the \u201c Blue,\u201d \u201c Yullow,\u201d \u201c Pink\u2019 books in which the Parliamentary doivga of England, France, Italy, and other countries blessed with one of the national Palavering Bodies wbich have hitherto failed to solve any one ef the pressing problems of modern Political Econcmy, are annually summed up for the convenience of their respective members and public.Speaking of Prince de Bismarck, M.Hansen says tnat an old diplomatist lately remarked to him, \u201cAs long as Bismarck carries on his \u2018Cultuikampf\u2019 war against the Catholics.you may be sure that he has no foreign war in his head, but the moment that there are serious signs of his coming to an ander- standing with the Vatican, foreign Governments ought to look out for squalls.\u201d An agreeable prospect for the taxpayers of Europe, including those whe pay the blood-and-sinew tax of the battle-fi:ld and the ambulance waggons The Catholic world, despite the hostile action of the ex\u2018reme partisa2s of Cone servatism and of Democracy, has been protesting against both its foes, over the greater part of Europe, by the zeal and splendour with which it has been celebrating the 25th anniversary of the late Pope\u2019s dogma of the \u201cImmaculate Conception,\u201d the honours paid to this anniversary baving culminated in the splendours of the affair at the modern cathedral and little town cf Lourdes and in the ancient basilicas of Rome.The accounts given of the flocking of pilgrims to Lourdes, the torchlight processions, the music, the pomp of the services, the grand robes of bishops aud priests, the enthusiaem of the worship- pere, read like a page from the history of the Middle Ages.In Rome, the celebrations wera equal in splendour, and of course, on a grander scale, those at the Gesu, the Santi Apostoli, and San Giovanni in Laterano, being marvels of scenic effect and ecclesiastical devotion, the pec- ple flocking to the servicer, as they always do when the Virgin is especially the object to be honoured, in crowds of which only a small portion could obtain admittance.At the former, magnificen:ly adorned and brilliantly lit up with hug dreds of chandeliers hung throughout the church and countless lines of wax taper, following all the lines of the architecture, the crowd extended far out into the square outside, and could only get in driblets, those without taking the place of those who filtered out from within.At the Santi Apostoli, where the handsomest and we Ithiest of priests, Cardinal Howard, officiated, the whole was as magnificent as money and art could make it; the splendid English Churchman, who retains, in priestly attire, all the martial pride, air of decision, and spiftness of movement, for which, as the gh nt cavalry officer of his Younger days, he was so widely renowned, being mssisted 1n hie pontificating by the Archbishop of Aix and the Bishop of Moulins, Montreal, Tarantasia, and Lincres.All the services at St.John Lateran were distinguished by all the splendid features for which that superb Baasilics is renowned.In tns evening, the churches and many private residences were brilliantly :lluminated, chief among the latter being the atately palaces near the squares of Venezia and Trinita dei Monti.THE ROMANCE OF CON- SPIRACT.Though Nihilism originated in 1868, it is only since 1877 that the \u201c Romance of the Conspiracy\u201d begins.Teward the end of 1876 there existcd at Odessa a Nihilist Assoication.Among them was a youth of nineteen, who laboured under the imputation of being a spy.At a secret meeting of the Associati n it was decided to \u201c put him out of the way,\u201d and a band of men, selected to carry out this decision, waylaid Goronovitch, and proceeded to inflict upon him one of the most dreadful punishments that has befallen a human being in recent Wmes.Beating his head to the consistency of a jelly, they saturated the wounds with vitriol and then decamped, leaving him, as they thought, dead.The suspected spy, however, subsequently recovered and gave evidence that led to the arrest of most of the members of the conspiracy.A small number made their escape, and among them were Yakov Stefanovitch and Leo Deutsch.Early in 1877 Stefanovitch read that a revolt had taken place at Tchegerin, and he set off to take part in the rising, He found that the disturbance was over and the leading rebels in the hands of the police; but after satisfying himself that the peasantry were still in a bitter state of discontent he proceeded to concoct a plot as audacious as it was deservedly devoid of success.Aided by Deutsch, and by Bochanovsky, a student, he drew up a decree, with a forged signature of the Czar, empowering the peasants to divide the landowners's estates.Appended to this document was a manifesto, dated a few days later, in which the Czar expressed his sorrow at being unable to carry out his decree, and enjoined the peasants to form a secret militia, and take the land.Both these documents were printed after the manner of imperial announcements, and, half a dozen discontented peasants were introduced to Deutsch as a Commissioner from the Czar.Deutsch thereupon drew from his pocket the decree, and announced that it had been given him by the Emperor.The officials, he added, had done their utmost to detain him, but he had escaped in disguise, and he felt certain that the patriotic peasants would obey their Sovereign.The conspirator then read the manifesto, which ordered them to rise on October I, and the auditors fell on their knees and begged to be enrolled at once.The movement spread with rapidity, and before a month the entire population of twelve villages had subscribed to the conspiracy.The 1,200 recruits were divided into squads of twenty-five each.The Commissioners pretended that they received their commands from a Hetman, and issued their decrees in the name of this personage.At the Hetman\u2019s instigation the peasants were drilled, arms manufactured, stores collected and preparations made for a rising.But, as 18 common with conspiracies, the bubble burst.The police came across the press used in printing the false decrees.Boehanovsky appeared at the door and was arrested.While in the police station he left in charge of a criminal sharing his cell a number of cipher letters addressed to his associates.These led to the gtrest of Stefanovitch and Deutsch.Finding the game was up the Nihilists made a clean breast of their operations, and with characteristic effrontery effected their escape, and left 1,200 dupes behind them to answer for their misconduct.Some of the peasants were exiled to Siberia, others fined, and the rest pardoned, Bochanovsky and Stefanovitch retired to Geneva, where they ave still residing.Deutsch is generally accredited with having been the murderer of General Mezentsoff,.Among the participators in the conspiracy was 'I'choubaroff, the son of a landowner, expelled from college.He effected his escape to Odessa, where he assumed the character of \u2018Captain Tchoubaroff, late of the Foot Artillery,\u201d and commenced afresh a Nihilist Association, Before long his \u201c circle \u201d numbered more than a hundred, of whom many were soldiers and non-commissioned ouicers and sailors, besides female students and ladies, The members used to deliberate as to the individuals that should be threatened with death or assassinated.On one occasion they discussed whether the Emperor shouid be murdered on his arrival, and after the decision that his death was inexpedient just then, the conspirators betook themselves to cards and music, and enjoyed themselves till midnight.A short time after this they heard that the Emperor was to land at Nicolaeff in August, on his way back to St Petersburg, and decided that the moment had arrived for striking a blow.The scheme was left in the hands of Tchoubaroff, who arranged with Wittenberg the practical details, \u201c Torpedo powder,\u201d in quantity te blow up a mau-of-war, was stolen, and this the conspirators proposed to secrete under the head of the pier and connect by a wire with a battery.Tchoubaroff, surrounded by Nihilists armed with revolvers and daggers, was to discharge the battery, and then the whole were to disperse, leaving the shore covered with the mangled remains of the Emperor, his suite and the spectators This conspiracy, in most of its features, was identical with the outrage at Moscow, and only failed through the casual arrest of a conspirator, The leaders were not sosuccessful as Deutsch and Stefanovitch and Tchoubaroff, Wittenberg and three others expiated their crime on the gallows One of Tchoubaroff's associates was Fomin Sent to plot for the release of Voinoralsky, he formed an ambush and greeted the Cossack convoy with such a storm of bullets that they fled, leaving their prisoner and their dead commander behind.Voinoralsky got away, but Fomin was arrested the same day.À few days later he was removed to a room cor- taining seventy convicts, and they made a passage for escape up the chimney.He and some others got out in safety, but a very stout man becoming wedged prevented the egress of the remainder Recaptured the same day, he arranged that false gendarmes should come with an order to take them before the head of the police.But some real gendarmes arrived with a real order and disclosed the plot.The Nihilists then attempted to make a subterranean channel to Fomin?s cell, but this was also discovered, and the trial of the prisoner puta stop to further attempts to release him.However, they displayed their power by assassinating Prince Krapotkin, the day he signed the order for the trial, and about two months ago they were able to smuggle Fomin away to Switzerland, in which country he lives with other personages of the Russian revolution, THE LaDIEY FAVOURITE.Among the many thousands of ladies who have used

denied what she had said before.Then the lawyer, with a good-natured smile, that bad just a tinge of something not so pleasant as a smile, puinted out the contradiction.It wes in vain that Nancy went into a passion\u2014the lawyer was quiet, and even friendly.He wished to help her out of some vague legal diffi: culty and shameful disgrace that he pretended to see 1n store for her.For the first time in her life nfraid to give vent her wrath, cortending as she never bad Liefore, with a man who cared no more for ber blandisaments than be feared her temper, and who was as su perior to her in craft as in knowledge, with pride and vanity wounded, and without power to avenge the injury, or certaiuty cven that there was au inju.y to avenge, she found herself badgered and hemmed in on every side.The iawyèr made her words scem somethin else than she meant.Soe was not ver scrupulous about telling the truth, bu Colonel Binamy, without saying an thing discourteous made her a;pear a monstrous har, by giving back ber words in senses different from waat she bad intended.A: last, in sheer despair and defeat, she rose to go, red with suppressed irritatior, and bicing her lipe.Don\u2019t

back into a obair, to undergo again a process of mental and moral dissection, even more severe than that she had beforc experienced.Defeat is a thousand-fold worse to an overbearing person accustomed to triumph, than to another, and Nancy was by this time in a state of frenzy.She must break out in some desperate fashion or die.* Colonel Bonamy,\u201d she cried, getting to her feet, and luuking now like a vo - cano in eruption, \u2018\u201c what do you keep on axin\u2019 an\u2019 axin\u2019 sech questions fer ?Confound ye lawyer's questions!

amend the mining laws as to allow the agent of a mining company to make affidavit of location.The Jaw now requires the owner of the claim himself to make the affidavit, and prohibits the agent from doing so.tended by those in opposition that the Bill was altogether in the interest of capital and mono.oly, and that its passage would give capitalists an opportunity to take up the best mining lands in the West.On the otber hand it was argued that the Bill was in the interest of the miner.The Bill was passed by a vote of 177 yeas to 29 nays.COLORADO PRODUCTION OF BULLION.From the yearly review of

city now eon- tains eighteen establishments of this class, with over thirty furnaces, treating over 4,000 tons of ore per week.In addition to this the very high grade ores are shipped to Argo, Golden aud the east, while those of the low grade class remain on the dumps, awaiting the reduction of cost in treatment that will come ir with the railroads, The bullion product of Leadville District in 1878 was placed at $2,500,000.For 1879, the best judges estimate the actual yield at $17,298,460, or à gain of 700 per cent.INSURANCE NEWS, THE EQUITABLE INSURANCE COMPANY, The New York Equitable Insurance Company wil: pay a semi-annual dividend of 5 per cent.on the 12th inst, THE DANGERS OF CELLULOID.The recent terrible disaster at Newark recalls the dangers connected with the use and manufacture of celluloid, a cheap 1m tation of ivory, coral, malachite, amber, &:.This celluloid, which is coloured to imitate the substances above named, is compored of gun cotton, a most active explosive, and camphor which # highly combustible, the result being an article which is very easily i.nited, a mere spark being sufficient to set it a~blaze and all the more noxious because the danger is hidden under the guire of what are not regarded as inflammable substances, A SUSPICIOUS CASE.A case in life insurance, which is likely to create quite a little flurry of excitement, has just occurred.David Lsag, of North Lebanon, Pa., died at the age ot 55 years, after only a few week\u2019s illness and an insurance of $20,000 is now claimed on his life.David Long, it is said, was a poor man, aud the premium or such a large insurance far beyond his means to pay.This is in itself a very suspicious circumstance, and the company proposes to la k into the matter carefully before paying tle claim.To put it mildly, on the face of it, it looks like a case of speculative life insurance, 88 if the bolders of the policy knew more of the old man\u2019s condition than the medical examiner could learn in a hasty examination, and took out a + heavy insurance to profit by his early death, 1f the policy was so A long discussion followed.It was con- jy obtained, it was, of course, an incentive to help Mr, Long out of the world as quickly and easily as ible, or at least if nature called and sickness occurred, not to stand in the way of his passing comfortably to the other world.But while the company is inquiring into the facts of his death, would it not be well to investigate also the acts ot its agent ?He is supposed to act in the interest of the company,and it is his duty to infcrm himself as fully as possible concerning every risk before offering it to the company.Ifin this instance he did make proper inquiry, and found a man applying for $20,000 insurance, who, from his appearance and surroundings, couid scarcely afford to pay the premium on one- tenth of that amount, it is strange, to say the least, that he should not have called the company\u2019s attention to that fact when he forwarded the application.\u2014 American Exchange.RAILWAYS.OLEVELAND AND PITT2BURG.The thirty-second annual meeting of the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad Comny was held at Cincinnati,

packing at the intericr points and a decrease of 700,000 at the six large cities, making a total of about 6,980,000 hogs to March 1, against 7.480,000 last year.The total packing to date at all points is 4.650.000 hogs, against 4,860,000 hogs last year.\u2018Lhe average weight to date is about 9} pounds lighter than a year ago and the yield of lard four to five pound lighter per hog.There is an

then only the ordinary twist, with this advantage, that the silk bears scouring better and shows better than trams of only one twisting.There is also a certain saving of waste silk.\u201d

their senses, seem to have got madler on the malt question, and threaten to angment their duty.Thereupon Sir Leonard runs away from the duty he has chalked up, and tries to make things pleasant again by ar Order-in-Council reducing the duty by one ball.Bat where 1s the authority of Parliament if a Ministry can reduce he duties that ib has imposed We have always protested against these tariff changes by Order-in-Council; but there was a certain reason in them when the tariff was mede professedly only for the sake of putting money into the Treasury.Then it might be said that the Government could, so to speak, forgive a debt, or release an obligation which it found it could dispense with.The case 18 al- togeth@® different now, when the tariff is made not for tte Government, but for the citizens; for an industry bas-d upen the tariff might be ruined by the mistake or caprice of a Minister or Ministry, though Parliament had supposed tbat it had provided the means of building that industry up.We suppose in this case the maisters, as a body, will approve the reduction, if it have the effect of preventing the Americans from shutting the door tighter ugainst them, but that way not always be the case, when law regularly enacted is repealed by arbitrary authority.\u2014_\u2014 ANNEXATION, &c,-=We have received a copy of the Weekly Notes, from Philadelphia, with an article on these subjects, to which our attention is directed.There i3, however, nothing novel in the article.The writer says what has been rapeated a hundred times, that the Umted States do not want us; bus would probably take us if we asked them.As, however, we have no: ye: moved in that direction, it would be just as well for them to take the well.known advice given to à young lady who was intimating her possible repugnance to a marriage, to wait till she was asked.The author has so little studied the subject us to believe that lower duiies are imposed in Canada on English thin on American goods, which, had it been true, would, from the point of view of those who made our tariff, been at least eonsistent.As it is, they made the stupid tariff of the Uaited States an excuse for a generally protective tariff which strikes the goods of Eagland, where our guods go without duty, as heavily as those ef our neighbours, whose duties against us are frequently prohibitive, and who, when they agreed to admit lobsters free, contrived to give the lie to the treaty by putting a duty on the cane, with the sole effect of giving English consumers a chance to eat cheap lobsters, which otherwise would have beea eaten by Americans.Hottentot Venus.More than all, Mr, Parnell himself, according to the New York World, which quotes his words in support of its assertion, bas found the atmosphere of the United States tone down some of his more \u201c advanced \u201d doctrines.Our contemporary comments upon the late letter of Lord Dunraven, whom, it justly remarks, is not a Saxon; but Irish by generations going back for centuries before the Parnells were ever heard of in that island.It intimates that his Lordship\u2019s arguments and statements, which it reprints, are much more valuable and convincing than thoss of Mr.Parnell.And, then,as we have already mentioned, it quotes the gentleman last named, speaking at Newark, the previous evening : \u201c We have,\u201d said he, \u201c modified our views and purposes since \u201cwe came here, and we should be \u201c criminal if we did not embrace this \u201c opportumity to eollect money for \u201cfamine relief.We need but httle \u201cmoney for our political uses.\u201d Nothing could be more striking than this acknowledgment ; and no ore, probably, will doubt the theory of the World that the modification is the effect of American influences, _\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 EE 1HE WEATHER.Vennor let his horses get their heads 80 badly thet we have long ago given him up as a guide, philosopher or friend in the weather business.But we do not know that other speculators on this interesting and universal subject do much better than our Canadian prognosticator.A few daysago we mentioned à prophecy of several years old mads by the Astronomer Royal, of Scotland, to the effect that the present year would in England be a particularly cold one.But then, as we pointed out, his concla- sions purported to be derived from the periodicity of certain very red and presumably fiery spots in the sun.Now the augmentation or diminution of solar heut, as indicated by these spots or their absence, must be felt in the Same Way, and in due degree ali over our planet\u2014at least, that must be the reflection of men who are net astronomers, Royal, or otherwise.To leave this continent out of account in a calculation of the consequences of a greater or less heat in the great centre and focus of warmth for the entire solar system is to commit what, without meaning a pua, may be termed à solecism.Probably the Scotch Astronomer Royal did not intend to do 80, but writing for Britons he did not carry his forecast farther than the British Isles, though his theory would presumably have made is apply to the world at large.However that may be, the faets seem te disprove the sun-spot system, as understood and expounded has had an exceptionally cold year, with weather still more than usually severe in North America, since the beginning of the winter, we have been enjoying weather certainly of more than average mildness.Itis true, the mercury bas had one or two pretty severe dips below the zero mark, and the

Auctioneer.Montreal, 13th December, 1879 298 ex Miscellaneons.\u201cTHE SUN\u201d FOR 1380.Tan SUN will deal with the events of the year 1880 in its own farhioa, now pretty well understo d by everybody.From January 1 to December 3} it will be conducted as; a newspaper, writtem in the English language, aud printed for the people- As a newspaper, THE SUN believes in getting all the news of \u2018he wortd promptly, and presenting it in the most iutelligible shape\u2014the shape that will enabie iis readers to ke.p well abreast of the age with the least unproductive expenditure of time.'.he greatest interest to the greatest number\u2014that is the law con\u2018rolling its daily make- up.It now has a circula tion very much larger than that of any other American newspaper, and enjoys an income which it is at all times prepared te spend liberally for the benefit of its readers.People of all conditions of life and all ways ef thinking buy and 162d Txx SUN ; and they ail derive satisfaction of some sort from its columns, for they keep on buying and reading it.In its comments on men and affairs, TRE SUN believes that the only guide ot policy should be common sense, iuspired by genuine American principles and backed by honesty of purpose.For this reascn it is, and will continueto be, absolutely independent of party, class, clique, ovæani- zation, or interest.It is for all, but of nope.It will continue to praise what is good and reprobate what is evil, taking care that its language 1s to the point and plain, beyond th» pocsibility of being misunderstood.lt is uninfluenced by motives that do not appear on the su.face ; it bas no opinions to sell, save those which may be had by any purchaser for two cents.lt hates injustice and rascality even more than it hates unnecessary words.\u201d It abhors frauds, pities focls, and deplores nincompoops of every species.It will continue throughout the ypar 1880 to cha:tise the first class, instruct the second, and discountenance the tuird.Allhonestmen, with honest \u2018convictions, whether sound or wistaken, are its friends.And THE SUN makes no bones of telling the truth to its friends and aout its friends whenever occasion arises for plain speaking These are the principles upon which TaE SUN will be conducted during the year to come.Tne 1860 year will be one in which no pa triotic American can afford to close his eyes to public affairs.It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of the political events whice 1t bas in store, or the necessity of resolute vigilance on the part of every citizen who desires to preserve the Government that the founders gave us.The debates snd acts of Congres, the utterances of the press, the exciting contests of the Republican and Democratic parties, now nearly equal in strength throughout the country, the varying drift of public sentiment, will all bear directly and effectively upon the twenty-fourth Presidential election, to be held in November.Four years ago next November, the will of the nation, as expressed at the polls, was thwarted by ap abominable conspiracy, the promoters and beneficiaries of which still hold tne offices they stole.Will the crime of 1876 be repeated in 1870?The past decade of years opened with a corrupt, ex- travag «nt and insolent Administration intrenched at Washington.Taz Sun did something toward dislodging the gang and breaking its power, The same men are now intriguing to restore their leader and themselves to places from which they.were driven by the indignation of the people.Will they succeed?The coming year will bring the answers to there momentous questions.THE Suny will be cn hand to chronicle the facts as they are developed, and to exhibit them clearly and fearlessly in their relatio:s to expediency and right.Thus with a habit of philosophical good humor in looking at the minor affairs of life, and in great things a steadfast purpose to maintain the rights of the people and the principles of the Constitution against all aggressors, THE SUN is prepared to write a truthful, instructive, and at the same time entertaining history of 1880.Our rates of subscription remain unchanged.Forthe DaiLy Sum, a four-page sheet of twenty-eight columns, the price by mail, post paid, is 55 cents a month, or $6.50 a year; or.including the Sunday paper, an eight-page sheet fifty-six columns, the price is

a young man, named Alphonse MalbœufË, is endeaveuring to put it into practical use, and for s0 dc- ing was yesterday taken before the Bench.Shortiy after thres 0\u2019clock yesterday morz- ing five young men hailed Joseph Miliard, carter, at the corner of Craig and St.Lawrence streets, and asked him to drive them to their respective homes in the West-End of the city.They lived in different street, and each one was left at the door of his home, Malbœuf alone remaining in the sleigh.When near the residence of the latter he instructed the driver to stop, a8 he did not wish to be heard going in at such an unseagonable hour.The carter accordingly halted, when his fare asked him if he could change a $4 bill, but he answered he could not, as the only change he had on his person was $2 in silver.The youth then told the driver that he would hand him the $4 bill, accept the $2 and could get the remaining $1.50 when passing the stand at the corner of St.Lawrence street, where the driver waa in the habit of standing.The agreement was made, the carter drove off, but hissug- picion being aroused, he retarned only to find his fare gone.Detectives Arcand and Lafon, however, ran the chase to earth yesterday, and he was remanded.Tue LACHINE CANAL.\u2014Some time ago mention wae made in these columns of some trouble that existed in the completion of Section 11 on this Canal.The contractors for the work are Messrs.Davis & Sons.Yesterday forenoon, Sir Charles Tupper, Minister of Railways, &c., nc- companied by Mr.Girouard, M.P.; Mr, Desjardine, M.P.; M.P, Ryan, M.F.; Mr.Harrington, Engineer in charge of Lachine Canal Works, and Mr.Joslin, CE, visited Section 11.They dr>ve along the Canal bank on the south side as far as Cote St.Paul, and along the north until they reached Lachine.On reaching the works some 200 men were found doing nothing and cougregated about the Gontractor\u2019s office.Mr.Girouard briefly addressed them, stating that it was quite possible rhat the works would go on as soon as Sir Charles reached Ottawa and laid the matter before the Chief Engineer.Sir Charles expressed his opinion te the effect that the Government engineers would inspect the work, and if their decision was in tue affirmative, Messrs.Davis & Co.would be compelled to go on with their contract.The erowd then dispersed and the party drove to the breek-water, which is two huudred feet wide.It was explained to Sir Charles that the water was now four feet above the mason work and that, therefore, it would be next to impossible td prosecute it at this season of the year.Itis confidently believed the work will be gone on with, which, in these hard times, will bu a great boon to the hundreds mow out of employment.Ter Prorostp EXTENsION oF TEE CITY \u2014Tuz

in criminal trials were the cases of James Irwin, who was tried and convicted of shooting David Carey ; David James Spence, who was found guilty of shooting John Gunning Bell ; and Michael Cooney, who was convicted of shooting John Riley.In the first case Irwin fired two shots at Carey on St.Mary\u2019s street, the latter\u2019s residence,about midnight.Both the shota took effect, and Irwin, on being convicted, was sentenced by the Hon.Mr.Justice Mook to five years in the penitentiary.In the case of Spence,the shooting took place during a row near Papineau square, and the ball, being fired into the crowd, hit Gunning Bell in the back.Spence was sentenced to five years\u2019 imprisonment, In the last case, Cooney, with others, attacked and fired at several men at night, one bullet taking effect on John Riley.Coosey was sentenced to two years.The friends of the accused interested themselves on their behalf and presented a petition for their liberation to the Governor-General, which His Excellency was graciously pleased to grant, upon their furnishing bonds to keep the peace until April 25th, 1883, the date upon which the sentences of Irwin and Spence would expire.Cooney\u2019s sentence expires on April 25th, 1880.Yesterday morning James Irwin and David James Spence were brought up to the office of the Clerk of the Crown.They were taken before the Hon.Mr.Justice Monk, who liberated them upon their furnishing bail, Irwin himself in $400, and Messrs, Robert Mitehell and William Stenhouse in $200 each; Spence himself in $400, and Messrs.Warden King and Archibald Spence in $200 each.THE FATAL KXPLOSION AT BACK RIVER.THE INQUEST.An inquest was held on Thursday afternoon, at the General Hospital, on the body of the man John Ebbitt, who had died in that institution from the effects of burns, eaused by an explosion of gas at the Convent of the Sacred Heart, Sault-au-Recollet, After Dr.Bell had explained the injuries the man had received, Charles Garth said he had been a member of the firm of Garth & Sons, but was not now.He described the building and the new gas-holder, but could not give any reason for the explosion.He said the deceased was a great smoker; a spark from a cold chisel might have caused an explosion.AncuisaLun KryLm, foreman for Messrs.Garth & Co., said\u2014I had charge of the fixing of the apparatus, and the only parties employed in the gas-house were the deceased, E.Giroux, and witness.He said the new gas-holder was in working order, and had been for weeks; at the time of the accident Ebbitt and Giroux were cutting out the gas-holder.When the explosion took place he was standing in the doorway between the gas-house and the carpenters shop, and the two men were cutting the ribs.They were not smoking at the time he left them.He first knew of the occurrence by hearing an explosion and seeeing a flash.On entering the building he encountered Giroux trying to get out, and he took him into the air.He then went tosearch for Ebbitt and found him in a hole near the furnace.He took him into the air and deceased called him by name, but did not say how the explosion occurred.There was not sufficient gas to cause witness any easiness.The nearest fire to where the explosion occurred was in the carpenter shop; there were from six to eight inches of gas in the new holder ; there might have been gas in the bottom of the old holder, but not sufficient to prevent working as the tap on the top was open ; the wood around the old holder could nothave been impregnated with gas beeause it was always full of water ; a large spark froma chisel would cause an explusion ; both deceased and Giroux were sober steady men , they might'have lighted their pipes after witness left them, The inquest was adjourned until yesterday morning.Mr.CHARLES GARTH, superintending the erection of the new works, ou behalf of the Ladies of the Convent, said he wished, in the interest of the proprietors of the Gas Works, to court the fullest euquiry on the part of the jury, not only for the purpose of ascertaining the cause of the present disaster, but that the future might be secured from the possibility of a repetition.Jean BERGERON, carpenter employed on the works, deposed to having entered the premises a few minutes previous to the occurrence of the event.He made a general remark to the other men that there was a bad smell which made him feel sick.The other men wem about to light theing pipes, when they were startled by the fire, and on looking out of the shop saw a flash of flame, The bad smell was everywhere about the premises, and not confined to the shop.He had been employed in the works seven years, and did not know the strong smell might be dangerous or have the effect it had.Jousrx Mapæau, another workman, gave similar evidence, and said on the day before New Year's he shut the ventilator with a bar.Epovarp Grroux, the surviving sufferer, was examined by the jury on his couch, He said at the time of the accident he had his hammer in bis hand, but at the moment of the accident occurring he was not striking, neither was his mate, All of a sudden the flash of flame came from behind him and spread over his face.The flame came from the direction of the furnace.The jury then retired, and after about a quarter of an hour's consideration, returned the following verdict:\u2014«The said John Ebbitt came to his death by the explosion of gas in the property belonging to the Ladies of the Sacred Heart, at Sault-au- Recollet, which gas exploded by fire, either from the stove or furnace, the quantity of free gas in the premises being much larger than it should have been, owing to the ventilation remaining closed through oversight.\u201c The jurors recommend that greater precaution in future be taken by the parties in charge of such works to prevent similar accidents.\u201d EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE OUR PARIS LETTER.Ter Szverz WraTuxz\u2014Tea Pooz axD _ Drerressen\u2014Tun History or Coup WinTurs\u2014ConscRIPTION\u2014Tus | Ix- MACULATE CONCEPTION.From our Own Corraspondent, Paris, December 24, 1879.The great preoccupation of the moment is the uncommoniy severe cold whioh is making us pay dear for the \u201c\u2018 open\u2019 win= tera which have fallen to the lot of this city since the cold weather of the siege.The great quantity of snow that has fallen, obstructing communications, causing many deatns and a still greater number of ac- eidents, the intense bitterness of the frost which is rapidly congealing the rivers, and the enormous rise in the price of all articles of food, all cembine to render the present season one to be remembered for its many and serious torments.Cold winters being the exception here, neither the people themselves nor their Municipal authorities know how to meet its requirements.The anow lies in the streets, only a small part of it being got rid of by the cantonnters and the supplementary spades and brooms called to the work of cleaning it away; comparatively few vehicles venture out, the greater number of the omnibusees and tramways are in their sheds, and nine- tenths of the business of this metropolis are at a standstill.Several of the theatres have closed their doors.The enormous distress among the poor of this city has been aggravated by the dismissal of the modest and devoted functionaries who have been charged, forso many years, with the distribution of the public charity, and the installation, in their place, of new employes, hangers-on of the men now in power, who know nothing of the work into which they have been so summarily thrust, who are alike distasteful to the portion of the public which gives, and to the still larger portion waich receives.The distribution of alms to the necessitous being made a political affair, the public of the Capital, moved thereto by the urgent appeals of the most influential member of the French press, is making & noble response to the demand thus made ea their charity.The example so brilliantly set by Le Figaro is being rapidly followed by many of the other influential papers.Funds for opening adup ki:chens, providing sieeping places for the army of wretches who, in this terrible weather, are sleeping under doorways, on benches in the open air, under carts, in the alleys of markets, &ec.; for giving bread, coals, &c., to the starving; and for opening in variovs quarters of the town, large rooms, well warmed and providea w th benches, in which the poor can come and warm themselves.These plans are being rapidly adopted im many of the principal cities of France; the thermometer bas already fallen four degraes lower than the lowest reading of the ex ceptionnlly cold winter of the war ; meteorologists are agreed in prophesying a long continuance of extremely cold weather; there is à vastiy greater amount of destitution te be relieved than there was after the fall of the Empire, and exceptional arrangements are evidently needed to prevent the catastrophes which the combination of cold and hunger necessarily threatens.Similar conditions prevail over the greater part of Eurcpe, where the amount of distress among the masses is truly appalling, even in Italy, masses of snow have falien, in many places, to the astonishment of the children who had never before beheld a flake of snow, which, hows ever, histcry asserts to have fallen during 40 days in the Eternal City, in the 896:b year before the Christian era.Eight cer- turies later, the Biack S:a was frozen over for three weeks.In 608 nearly all the vines in France were frozen.In 860, snow aud in'ense cold tormented Europe during six monthe, even the Adriatic being frozen.4 In $74 he Bosphorous was a mass of ice, which was crossed on foot for some weeks, the intense cold being follow.d by epi demics and famine to which a third ef the population of France succumbed, In 1163 the rivers were frozen and wine congealed in the cellars.In 1323, the Baltic was uted asa thoroughfare for six weeks ; in 1408, nearly all the bridges of Paris were carried away by the ice floating on the Se ine, and the Clerk of the Parliament of that day declared himself ur- able to register the decrees owing to the ink freezing in his pen, despite the huge fires kept burning in his office.In 1468, the people of Flanders, who often have to cut their bread with hatchets, were obliged tu chop up their wine iu the same way, melting the lumps as needed; the cold being even more intense than it wag ten years before, when 41 000 men eu- camped on the Danube.In 1504 and 1627, there were games and bontires on the Thames.In 1684, a great fair was held on the Thames, the ice being 12 inches thick, go that \u201ctke people kept trades on the Thames as in a fayre, till February 4, 1684,\u201d says au inscription on an old book of that date, \u201cabout forty coaches plying regularly upon that river.\u201d In 1716, a similar fair was held on that same grea: tidal watercourse; and again the same thing occurred in 1740.The years 1766 and 1789 were notable for intemse cold all over Europe.The last ice-fair on the Thames took place \u2018in 1814; but intense cold prevailed in 1829, 1846, and 1849, when the greatest cold was experienced that had ever been known in France, since the invention of the thermometer.In 1849, the quicksilver frome in Norway.The winter of 1853 was a cold one over the greater part cf this hemisphgre ; and the winters of 1860 and 1870-1 were exceptionally severe.The mass of raw youths swept off to bar- rack-life under the horrible conscription regime of France are so severely handled in their new quarters that it seems impossible that the country should not insist on à change of system.The unlucky youths carried off to fill the maw cf the Molcch of war are stinted in food, subjected to innumerable hardships, many of which are doubtless inseparable from barrack-life, while others appear to re.ult from the penchant for tyranny inherent in the mind of French officialism, and they are now compelled to go through such violent physical exercises, especially in the cavalry, as often result in strains and maimings which will be felt through the rest of their life by the victims of these new disciplinary torments.Cavalry recruits are not un- frequently killed by these exercises within a short time of their arrival \u201c under the flag.\u201d The fact ia that the French Government believes, rightly or wrongly, that the German army is maintained in its present formidable state of preparedness for recommencing war, specially wita a view to taking advantage of the first available pretext for precipita:- ing the fresb duel with France, which the German Government believes (and rightly) that France fully intends to provoke as soon as she fuels stiong enough to risk such a struggle, the two partics to which are consequently bent on exceeding each other\u2019s military preparations.The advocates of peace have consequently but a sorry outlook in whichever direction they turn their eyez.M.Jules Hansen, who, during the last fifteen years, has been employed in turn by the Danish and French Governments in secret diplomacy, has just published an interesting aud instructive pamphlet entitled, Behind the Scenes of the Diplomatic World,\u201d teeming with revalations enough to fill half-a-dez:n of the \u201c Blue,\u201d \u201c Yullow,\u201d \u201c Pink\u2019 books in which the Parliamentary doivga of England, France, Italy, and other countries blessed with one of the national Palavering Bodies wbich have hitherto failed to solve any one ef the pressing problems of modern Political Econcmy, are annually summed up for the convenience of their respective members and public.Speaking of Prince de Bismarck, M.Hansen says tnat an old diplomatist lately remarked to him, \u201cAs long as Bismarck carries on his \u2018Cultuikampf\u2019 war against the Catholics.you may be sure that he has no foreign war in his head, but the moment that there are serious signs of his coming to an ander- standing with the Vatican, foreign Governments ought to look out for squalls.\u201d An agreeable prospect for the taxpayers of Europe, including those whe pay the blood-and-sinew tax of the battle-fi:ld and the ambulance waggons The Catholic world, despite the hostile action of the ex\u2018reme partisa2s of Cone servatism and of Democracy, has been protesting against both its foes, over the greater part of Europe, by the zeal and splendour with which it has been celebrating the 25th anniversary of the late Pope\u2019s dogma of the \u201cImmaculate Conception,\u201d the honours paid to this anniversary baving culminated in the splendours of the affair at the modern cathedral and little town cf Lourdes and in the ancient basilicas of Rome.The accounts given of the flocking of pilgrims to Lourdes, the torchlight processions, the music, the pomp of the services, the grand robes of bishops aud priests, the enthusiaem of the worship- pere, read like a page from the history of the Middle Ages.In Rome, the celebrations wera equal in splendour, and of course, on a grander scale, those at the Gesu, the Santi Apostoli, and San Giovanni in Laterano, being marvels of scenic effect and ecclesiastical devotion, the pec- ple flocking to the servicer, as they always do when the Virgin is especially the object to be honoured, in crowds of which only a small portion could obtain admittance.At the former, magnificen:ly adorned and brilliantly lit up with hug dreds of chandeliers hung throughout the church and countless lines of wax taper, following all the lines of the architecture, the crowd extended far out into the square outside, and could only get in driblets, those without taking the place of those who filtered out from within.At the Santi Apostoli, where the handsomest and we Ithiest of priests, Cardinal Howard, officiated, the whole was as magnificent as money and art could make it; the splendid English Churchman, who retains, in priestly attire, all the martial pride, air of decision, and spiftness of movement, for which, as the gh nt cavalry officer of his Younger days, he was so widely renowned, being mssisted 1n hie pontificating by the Archbishop of Aix and the Bishop of Moulins, Montreal, Tarantasia, and Lincres.All the services at St.John Lateran were distinguished by all the splendid features for which that superb Baasilics is renowned.In tns evening, the churches and many private residences were brilliantly :lluminated, chief among the latter being the atately palaces near the squares of Venezia and Trinita dei Monti.THE ROMANCE OF CON- SPIRACT.Though Nihilism originated in 1868, it is only since 1877 that the \u201c Romance of the Conspiracy\u201d begins.Teward the end of 1876 there existcd at Odessa a Nihilist Assoication.Among them was a youth of nineteen, who laboured under the imputation of being a spy.At a secret meeting of the Associati n it was decided to \u201c put him out of the way,\u201d and a band of men, selected to carry out this decision, waylaid Goronovitch, and proceeded to inflict upon him one of the most dreadful punishments that has befallen a human being in recent Wmes.Beating his head to the consistency of a jelly, they saturated the wounds with vitriol and then decamped, leaving him, as they thought, dead.The suspected spy, however, subsequently recovered and gave evidence that led to the arrest of most of the members of the conspiracy.A small number made their escape, and among them were Yakov Stefanovitch and Leo Deutsch.Early in 1877 Stefanovitch read that a revolt had taken place at Tchegerin, and he set off to take part in the rising, He found that the disturbance was over and the leading rebels in the hands of the police; but after satisfying himself that the peasantry were still in a bitter state of discontent he proceeded to concoct a plot as audacious as it was deservedly devoid of success.Aided by Deutsch, and by Bochanovsky, a student, he drew up a decree, with a forged signature of the Czar, empowering the peasants to divide the landowners's estates.Appended to this document was a manifesto, dated a few days later, in which the Czar expressed his sorrow at being unable to carry out his decree, and enjoined the peasants to form a secret militia, and take the land.Both these documents were printed after the manner of imperial announcements, and, half a dozen discontented peasants were introduced to Deutsch as a Commissioner from the Czar.Deutsch thereupon drew from his pocket the decree, and announced that it had been given him by the Emperor.The officials, he added, had done their utmost to detain him, but he had escaped in disguise, and he felt certain that the patriotic peasants would obey their Sovereign.The conspirator then read the manifesto, which ordered them to rise on October I, and the auditors fell on their knees and begged to be enrolled at once.The movement spread with rapidity, and before a month the entire population of twelve villages had subscribed to the conspiracy.The 1,200 recruits were divided into squads of twenty-five each.The Commissioners pretended that they received their commands from a Hetman, and issued their decrees in the name of this personage.At the Hetman\u2019s instigation the peasants were drilled, arms manufactured, stores collected and preparations made for a rising.But, as 18 common with conspiracies, the bubble burst.The police came across the press used in printing the false decrees.Boehanovsky appeared at the door and was arrested.While in the police station he left in charge of a criminal sharing his cell a number of cipher letters addressed to his associates.These led to the gtrest of Stefanovitch and Deutsch.Finding the game was up the Nihilists made a clean breast of their operations, and with characteristic effrontery effected their escape, and left 1,200 dupes behind them to answer for their misconduct.Some of the peasants were exiled to Siberia, others fined, and the rest pardoned, Bochanovsky and Stefanovitch retired to Geneva, where they ave still residing.Deutsch is generally accredited with having been the murderer of General Mezentsoff,.Among the participators in the conspiracy was 'I'choubaroff, the son of a landowner, expelled from college.He effected his escape to Odessa, where he assumed the character of \u2018Captain Tchoubaroff, late of the Foot Artillery,\u201d and commenced afresh a Nihilist Association, Before long his \u201c circle \u201d numbered more than a hundred, of whom many were soldiers and non-commissioned ouicers and sailors, besides female students and ladies, The members used to deliberate as to the individuals that should be threatened with death or assassinated.On one occasion they discussed whether the Emperor shouid be murdered on his arrival, and after the decision that his death was inexpedient just then, the conspirators betook themselves to cards and music, and enjoyed themselves till midnight.A short time after this they heard that the Emperor was to land at Nicolaeff in August, on his way back to St Petersburg, and decided that the moment had arrived for striking a blow.The scheme was left in the hands of Tchoubaroff, who arranged with Wittenberg the practical details, \u201c Torpedo powder,\u201d in quantity te blow up a mau-of-war, was stolen, and this the conspirators proposed to secrete under the head of the pier and connect by a wire with a battery.Tchoubaroff, surrounded by Nihilists armed with revolvers and daggers, was to discharge the battery, and then the whole were to disperse, leaving the shore covered with the mangled remains of the Emperor, his suite and the spectators This conspiracy, in most of its features, was identical with the outrage at Moscow, and only failed through the casual arrest of a conspirator, The leaders were not sosuccessful as Deutsch and Stefanovitch and Tchoubaroff, Wittenberg and three others expiated their crime on the gallows One of Tchoubaroff's associates was Fomin Sent to plot for the release of Voinoralsky, he formed an ambush and greeted the Cossack convoy with such a storm of bullets that they fled, leaving their prisoner and their dead commander behind.Voinoralsky got away, but Fomin was arrested the same day.À few days later he was removed to a room cor- taining seventy convicts, and they made a passage for escape up the chimney.He and some others got out in safety, but a very stout man becoming wedged prevented the egress of the remainder Recaptured the same day, he arranged that false gendarmes should come with an order to take them before the head of the police.But some real gendarmes arrived with a real order and disclosed the plot.The Nihilists then attempted to make a subterranean channel to Fomin?s cell, but this was also discovered, and the trial of the prisoner puta stop to further attempts to release him.However, they displayed their power by assassinating Prince Krapotkin, the day he signed the order for the trial, and about two months ago they were able to smuggle Fomin away to Switzerland, in which country he lives with other personages of the Russian revolution, THE LaDIEY FAVOURITE.Among the many thousands of ladies who have used

denied what she had said before.Then the lawyer, with a good-natured smile, that bad just a tinge of something not so pleasant as a smile, puinted out the contradiction.It wes in vain that Nancy went into a passion\u2014the lawyer was quiet, and even friendly.He wished to help her out of some vague legal diffi: culty and shameful disgrace that he pretended to see 1n store for her.For the first time in her life nfraid to give vent her wrath, cortending as she never bad Liefore, with a man who cared no more for ber blandisaments than be feared her temper, and who was as su perior to her in craft as in knowledge, with pride and vanity wounded, and without power to avenge the injury, or certaiuty cven that there was au inju.y to avenge, she found herself badgered and hemmed in on every side.The iawyèr made her words scem somethin else than she meant.Soe was not ver scrupulous about telling the truth, bu Colonel Binamy, without saying an thing discourteous made her a;pear a monstrous har, by giving back ber words in senses different from waat she bad intended.A: last, in sheer despair and defeat, she rose to go, red with suppressed irritatior, and bicing her lipe.Don\u2019t

back into a obair, to undergo again a process of mental and moral dissection, even more severe than that she had beforc experienced.Defeat is a thousand-fold worse to an overbearing person accustomed to triumph, than to another, and Nancy was by this time in a state of frenzy.She must break out in some desperate fashion or die.* Colonel Bonamy,\u201d she cried, getting to her feet, and luuking now like a vo - cano in eruption, \u2018\u201c what do you keep on axin\u2019 an\u2019 axin\u2019 sech questions fer ?Confound ye lawyer's questions!
