Lawrence, 1198; Tilley, 1105; Reed, 1052.The Inter Election was very severely contested, and strange to say its results seem almost to satisfy both the victors and the vanquished.The former are apparently pleased with their success, yet their satisfaction is somewhat tempered by the superior worth of the men who have been rejocted, as compared with those who bave been chosen, and we can well understand how respectable cilizens, without becoming violent political partizans, can see little to exult in when Messrs.Harding ond Lawrence are successful and Messrs.Tilley and Reed defeated.The vanquished on their part refer with complacency to the smallness of the numbers by which they have been overcome; to the extraordinary combination against thera, Liquor dealers, Roman Catholics, Orangemen, and High- hurchmen, all with few excoplions combining against them.The News offers its warm congratulations on the alliance between the second and third of the parties above named and bopes that they will no longer fall out by tho way.Mr.Tilley's friends algo point with cxultation to the fact that in the present contest Le received 170 more votes than formerly.Tax NewrouxDLAND SCEMARINM CaBLE.\u2014The submarine electric tele- ph cable for the New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Uompany was successfully laid on the 10th July, from the steamship \u201c Propontis,\u201d across the Gulf of St.Lawrence, between Cape Ray Cove, N.F., and Asuby Bay, C.B., a distance of eighty-five miles, in fifteen hours.Messages are now being freely and instantaneously transmitted from shore to shore.We understand that the Company have about T00 men at work at Newfoundland and on Cape Breton.The Newfoundland line from St.John's to the point where it intersects with the lines of the American Telegraph Company in Nova Scotia, will be about 600 miles in length, and it is confidently expected thatthe whole will be completed and in successful operation by the firat of September.Wauuand Caxar.\u2014The st.Catharine\u2019s Journal stated that in June, last year, 605 vessels passed through the Welland Canal, being the grestest number in noy one month till the June now past, when the total was 640 ; of these, 395 were American, and 245 were Canadian.Ermar Boawing.\u2014We regret to learn that an instance of the very reprebeneible practice of effigy burning took place at Yorkville, last \u2018ednesday night We think there is a more effectual way of expressing disapprobation of the misconduct of public men, than such senseless and disorderty proceedings.\u2014 Christian Guardian.Cmusorsme or rux Paroes.\u2014 We lately noticed that some evil-disposed persons had thrown a quantity of type belonging to the Paris Star into the Grand River.The outrage, we learn, was committed in consequence of the opposition of the Star to Roman Catholic Separate Schools.It ia further TRded that for the course the Editor pursued in this respect, be has been threatened with personal violence.\u2018¢ bave no doubt, however, that the public will sustain the independent proprietor of the Star against sll lawless attempts to do him harm, and convince his ignorant persecu- tora that outrages of the kind alluded to are not congenial to the climate of Upper Canada.\u2014 Kingston paper.Roxaxisra AND ScuooLs.\u2014The following paragraph from the Mirror of Inst Friday, shows most conclusively that unless the Romaniats of Upper Canada can get what they are demanding,\u2014viz.the money of Protestants to support their schools, thay they cannot much longer be maintained.\u2018When left to their own legitimate resources they find that Popish schools droop and finally die, The Mirror says of these schools :\u2014'* Several in the West are absolutely on the verge of discontinuance, while in Toronto it bas been ascertained that owing to the frivolous and vexatious requirements of the law, out of a population of 3,000 or more rate payers, we are robbed of the taxes of 800! The Trustoes have in consequence refused to avail themselves of the requirements of the law in regard to taxation, aod have thrown themselves upon the voluntary contributions of the people.Lzaisuative CouxciL.\u2014According to the Toronto Colonist, the following candidates are spoken of :\u2014M.O'Rellly, Esq., Burlington Division ; Dr.Lowe, Queen's Division; Hon.Mr.Vankoughnet, Rideau D ion ; Hon.W.Robinson, Saugeen Division.Our contemporary adds : \" For Trent Division we should be exceedingly glad to hear Mr.Baldwin offering.\u201d Another paper says, there can no doubt that the Lgiala- tive Council under its new constitution will be the most powerful division of our Parlisment, and no effort must be spared to clect sound, capable men to fill the vacancies.Let it be remembered that they will sit eight years, and that iu that view, a proper selection is of more importance even than in the case of members of Assembly.Toronto An BrrLiN Section or rer Guano Tronx.\u2014The patronage which bas been bestowed up to this time upon the Toronto and Berlin section of the Grand Trunk Rallway has surpassed the most sanguine ex- ciations of all counected with the line.The passenger traffic from rlin is steadily increasing, and before a month goes by, will be very retable ; and during last week over 2,000 passengers were carried from Soeiph to Toronto.Messrs.Abraham & Waddel have already shipped s large quantity of prime Wheat from this place to the Toronto Market, and there can A little question that during the ensuing season Toronto will receive almost every bushel of Wheat grown between Berlin and Lake Huron.\u2014 Berlin Chronicle.À Nuw Harson Orexzn.\u2014A fine natural barbor on Lake Ontario, à few miles below Presquo Isle, has been opened by à strange freak of dame nature, and Oonsecon is wow open lo steamers of the largest class oavi- ting the lake, This i» no humby, , for the steamer \u201c Chief Justice bioeon\u201d made an exploring expedition on Saturday last to the thriving town of Consecon, through the new outlet lately formed from Weller's Bay.Às soon as the wharf is completed, which a spirited gentleman of 0 ia now constructing, we believe it is \u2018the intention of Captain Young to call at the new port regulacly on bis trips between Cobourg and Oswego.\u2014 Belleville Intelligencer.GREAT BRITAIN AND THE CONTINENT Narise\u2014A private letter from Naples of tbe 15th states that the political trials wers being carried on wit) unflagging activity on the part of the Government un purveyors.Among the persons secused is a lady, Mme.Antonietl d1 Pace, whose husband and son are now dying a slow death in the Castal del) Novo.All the respectable part of tbe inhabi.tente are in à state of terror lest by some caprioe of the ution they should be brought before the Monarchical © Tribunal darolutionuaire.which complotes the resemblance of King Ferdinand's rule with ihe French reign of terror The unfortunate inmates of the State prison are | about to bb subjected Lo à more rigorous treatment.Biaachini, the head of the police, who is suspected of leniency, is about to retire.The King loses no occasion of turning Lim into ridicule, and ali sorts of tricks are played upon Lim by order of is crowned manine.They even go tbe lengibs of committing robberies, par ordre, close to bis villa, by way of showing bis inefficiency, This is almost too absurd to credit, but I'am assured on foul authority it is u well-authenticated fact.\u2014 Paris Corres- pordent of Globe, Generar WinLiaus.\u2014A general order bas been issued by the Fiel Marsal commanding upon the appointment of Sir.W.F.Williams to the command at Woolwich, After paying a high tribute to the exertions of General Whinyates, Lord Hardinge notifies the appointment of Sir W.F.Williams, and says :\u2014* Viscount Hardinge has the greatest pleasure in nolifying to the army this further mark of her Majesty's approbation of the conduct of so distinguished an officer.The \u201caresight and skill which marked all Lis arraogements in renaring the defence of Kars\u2014 Lis heroic conduct in repelling the assault of a brave enemy-leading the gallant and faithful troops of her Majesty's ally the Sultan, aided by a small Lut devoted band of officers whose names will be a record in bis- tory\u2014bis constancy under sufferings and difficulties of the moat appalling kind, his moral command over a large and famishing garrison, seduced at length to their last ration\u2014have made the reputation of Sir Fenwick Williams, of Kars, a source of great pride to the artillery corps to which he belonged, to the army at large, and to bis countrymen, who are equally loud in their admiration of h:a splendid achicvements.The Field Marshal cannot resist on this occasion expressing the universal sentiment of respect felt throughout the British army toward General Mouravieff, for the gencrous treatment which Sir Fenwick Williama and his garrison received from tha.distinguished Russian commander.\u201d AMERICAN SAILORS \u2014RETRIBUTION.\u2014 About fifty American seamen, many of them coloured men, have deserted from American ships in the Tyne, and taken service with English ships, for the sake of bigher wages.The American masters Lave appled to the Magistrates to know if they can help them to recover the sailors, but they cannot ; there is no treaty between this country and the United States for the restoration of run-away seamen.Formerly, English mariners frequently deserted in American ports, and no doubt the Yankees thought it was à good thing to bave no treaty on the subject : now, it seems, English service is better than American and the cute statesmen find the inconvenience caused by baring no treaty.\u2014 Glasgow Commercial Adrartiser, PERMANENT RUSSIAN Force 1v TUR Crimka \u2014The Berlin correspondent of the Times writes:\u2014#\u201c LLe Governments of Cherson, Ekaterinoslaff, and Podolia are declared to be no longer under martial law;

and they seen determined 10 strike a blow at once in their usual fashion.Copies of incendiary proclamations, exciting to pillage and assassination, are cireu- lated throughout Italy.Tux AvsTaiaxs wf frauy.\u2014Affaire at Parma bave taken a carious turn.It appears that the Austrian Military Commission endeavoured to take cognizance of acts anterior to the state of siege.The Dutchess t opposed this; the case was referred to Radetzky ; and he replied, that, if the Regent interfered, she must be left tober fate.This does not seem to imply that the Austrians will march out; for, although the Dutchess caused the Commission to be dissolved and the persons in prison to be liberated, we do not hear that the Austrians have abandoned Parma.UNITED STATES Twe Brooxs Cask 1x Coxcagss.\u2014Washingion, July 9, 1856.\u2014The rooks cage was taken up in the House to-day ;

In 1784, we are told by Mr.Baines, an Ametican vessel arrived at Liverpool, having ott board eight bags of cotton, whicn were seized by the custom house officers, under the impression that cotton wis rot and couid not be the produce of the United States! Tu 1735 the total import from America was 4 bags.In i786 it was s bags.In 1655 it was 1,632,085 bags.And the annzal value of tie coton exported f.om the Slates is now equal to that of ail the vther articles taken together.Let us indicate a few of ite early points of interest in the history of this branch oi the cotton trade, the growth of which has been eo remarkable.\u2014 For the ability 10 do so we are largely indebied to br.Baines\u2019 «History of the Cotton Manufacture,\u201d and Dr.Ure's ** Conon Manufactures vi Great Britain.Our readers may recollect that it was 10sands (bé close oi last certury that tre inventions of Harzreaves, Arkwright, Crompion, and Cartwright were first successluny carued into operation.While! these men were hercically struggling to get their respective ma-| chines iuto practical use, a s ruggle of & different sort (yet how interwoven 1he interest of one with that of the other!) was going on in a dierent quarter of the world.The cotton was being prepared for in a piace that ther wot not of \"After America had established! * © surrendered to great interests and high considerations of the them i A 5 .! its republican goverument, Great Britain, feeling bound to make a vision for those colonists who had espoused her cause io the war tol Mr.Dallas, o° giving his official countenance to the attempt of of independenc-, offered then poitions of land in Nova Scotia and | à ; 2 '¢ costume which Pad been prescribed, is utterly unworthy of his the Banama Islands.Tne small island of Auguilla, in tbe Carib pocition and character, and seems all the worse by reason of its con-; trast vith the maaly letter in which Lord Clarendon had just ap-! prised him of the readiness of the Ministry to open negotiations with Ses, long celebrated for the excellence of its cotton wool, farnished the fret seed to the Bahama settlers, and by the year 1785 (the year vious to that in which Crompton\u2019s Mule Jenny was invented) they bad succeeded in raising coilon upon two of those islands, viz., Long Island, aod Exams.For while prosecuting this new branch of industry in their new hom kindly feeling towards their ceived from the seitlers in the Bahamas small quan'ities of coiton, seed, and irom this seed, sent over from the Bahamas iu the winter | and was managed by cur Government in such a way as to invoive e, they would seem ts have had 3change\u2019it.By walking off with him, he gave a semi-official sanc- former companions io the States.\u2014 4j ; at ?James Spald.ng, Josiah Tatnall, aod others resident in Georgia, re- [Lion te bis demand of admission upon bis own terms.We are not THE MONTREAL WITNESS.to market in 1852-3, could not be less than « Aundred and twenty- eight millions of dollars!

and so they agree to extend their protection, by treaty stipulation, fo any other practicable communications, whether by canal or railway, acruss the Isthmus, and especially to those conteinplated to be made by the way of Tehuantepec and Panama.\u201d This language leaves no room for dispute as to the intent and abject of the treaty.ithe two nations were sincere in this solemn proiestation vf their motives, aml if they are still inclined to give them full and fair effect, there cannot be any insurmountable obstacle in the way of an adjustment, Let the common object of the two nations be kept steadify in view, and with due discretion and place our sinister, Mr.Buchanan, saw fit to consider the offer of | judzment the means of attsining it will be fount.the british Minister to arbitrate this difference as a joke, and hei Upon our part, we confess, the new negotiations open under great theretore did not deem at worth his while tp report it tu his Govemn- ment at Washington, Tien Mr.Cramp'on with equal solidity, neglected te read enough of his dispatches to become possessed of their purport, Both nations being thus placed in & false position b their respective Ministers, the enlistment question next ittervened, the largest possible amount of irritation 10 England, with the least possible to oureelves.instead of acting upon it promptly, and in such a way as lu keep the whole question within personal limits, it was made the subject of a correspondence so conducted and pro- tracied us to make it a pointof honor for the English Goverment to sustain its Ministers.Fortunately, this perplexing and menacing dispute is also seltled,\u2014settled amicably, we are [ree to say, onlyin consequence of the magnanimous and manly temper in which it was met by the English Government and the English people, We have not the slightest disposition 10 exult over the sacrifice of pride which the British Governinent felt constrained to make.We regard its conduct in the adjustment of this irritatiog dispute, with feelings of admiration, \u2014~as a noble sacrifice by a great and powerful nation, to the interests of peace and the welfare of humanity.Our only apprehension is that in this rivalry of common sense, \u2014in this high- toned magnanimity by which small prejudices and petty feelings general good,\u2014England is to have the field alone.The condact disadvantage.The minor differences which have engaged attention have been settled in our favor; buu we have purchase: these advantages at too dear a rate.We have touched the pride and irritated the feelings of the British people.We Lave impressed upon them the conviction that we are exacting in our demands, overbearing in our temper, rash and rude in our manners and insincere in our professions.Our recognition of Walker\u2019s piratical authority strengthens their distrust of our good faith in regard 10 Central Ame- tican affairs.The adoption of the policy of the Ostend manifests, and the nomination of its author for the Presidency, revive their old suspicious of our designs upon Cuba.or Minister, upon the heels ot all this, at a moment when, above all others, it was important that all occasion of personal irritation should be avoided, makes an ostentatious show of official displeasure at an event which did not call for any official action whatever, and feeds anew the flame of popular excitement in England upon American affuirs.Under these untoward circumstances we lear that the renewal of negotiations upon his subject will not be in a mood to promise success.We caonot help believing thut it would be far wiser to act upon e recent suggessiion of the London Tîmes, and commit this whole mstier to Special Ambassadors, selected for their practical ability, large experience, and entire freedom from committals upou this subject.resent himself at the Queen\u2019s levee withont the im, in spite of the dismissal of Mr.Crampton, por the Central American dispute.Mr.Dallas should have advised Professor Mahan, when apprised of the objections to his dress, to go and prised at the anger of the London press, nor at the vehemencs with which that anger is expressed: \u2014nor are we sur- THE CONSUMMATION.(From the N, Y.Times.) The Conspirators are approaching the consummation of their work.They started two years ago to erect 8 new Slave Stale upon frea soil belonging to the United States.Desperate as the undertaking seemed, it is upon the verge of success.Formidable as were the barriers which had been erected between Slavery aud Kansas, jthey have all been prostrated.The solemn compact which the Noith and South had made, which all parties and all sections had respected, which thiny years had saoctified, was first repudiated.Outrage, murder, civil war have ai! been invoked to crush the will rised that Mr.Dallas himsslf should have become on réflection of 1785, all the Sea-isiand cotton plants of Georgia and South Caru-! eurtily ashamed of his share in the transaction, and have made ex- lina bave been produced.; .; A jong range of small isiands lies be: ween George Town, in South Carolina, ard St.Mary's, ia Georgia, extending ver a space of about 200 miles.\u2018Thess islands were at some former time the abode of atribe of Indian fishermen, and the vast accummula- tion of shells, bones, and other calcarous maîters left by them, had become intimately mixed with the original soil and produced a peculiar loam of à light and fertile nature.Upon two of these islets, from the continent by a few miles of grassy salt marsh, the first Sea-island cotton (the finest quality spua in this country) was cultivated.For many years after the iotroduction of this seed, it was confined to warm figh land in thess little islands, under the inflesnce ci à salice humid atmosphere ; gradually, however, the cotton husbandry was extended to the lower grounds, and beyond the limits of these islanda to the adjacent shores of the continent, and latterly it was carried to the coarse cla: soil deposited by the rivers at their confluence atthe sea-board.To this district, bounded by St.Mary\u2019s ia Georgia, and George Town in South Carolina, and extending about fiftesn miles intand, the cultivation of long stapled cotton is still confined.Whenever its cultivation has been attempted beyond these limits, a certain deterioration in its quality has been observed.No sooner was the attention of the southern States directed towards the culture of colton as a profitable branch of husbandry than it began to spread from the sea-shore into the interior, the quality being coarser than that grown apon or near the shore.Bot in the coarser qualities a difficulty was encountered which had not besa experienced tothe same degree in the production of the finer or staple sorts.The separation of the wool from the seed round which it was wrapt bad always been a most tedious and delicate ion.To dothis in tha case of the Sea-island cotton many planations of it in his dispatches home.We hope that these miserable and discreditable little controversies are now over, and that the earnest attention of the people and Governments of the two countries will be directed to the amicable adjustment of the Central American controversy.The subject is one of vast importance to both countries ; and, if itis tobe discussed in the heat of passion, or under tiie influence of resentraents stimulated by other causes, we may well despair of a pacific solution.\u2014 For the dispute itself is large enough to fight about.It is no mere question of etiquette or of national pride.Great and substantial interests, of Commerce and Dominion, are involved in it.To us it is a question of national integrity ; to England, one of commercial and imperial supremacy.Such a question ought not tobe discussed under the influence of any motives less commanding and weighty than the issue it involves.The controversy turns upon the interpretation of the treaty made in 1850 onder the Administration of President Taylor.The paramount object of that Treaty was to secure the neutrality of the Isthmus of Panama, so that the Canals or Railroads by which that Isthmus may hereafter be traversed, may not be subject to seizure or control b any great Power, but may, under all circumstances of Peace or War, free and open to the commerce of the world.\u2014 This was the great end which both nations had in view, and for securing which the Treaty of 1850 was made.To the United States the object was one of paramount importance,\u2014as in the absence of such security, in case of war the passage of the Isthmus might be forbidden to us by a hostile power strong enough to seize it, and our Pacific Possessions thus cut off.To England, it was equally important that she should never be excluded from its machines had been tried, and one of very simple construction\u2014con- sisting chiefly of two wooden rollers revolving against each other in opposite directions, and kept in motion by a foot-treadle\u2014had been and is still, we believe, found to give ener! satisfaction.This machine, however, was found quite inefiective for the hairy > ium hirsutum) cultivated in the interior plantations, because the ar upon its seed stuck to the rollers and obstructed the entrance of the proper textile filaments.The small quantity which it could turn out per day was also another objection, not so much felt in the production of the finer and higher qualities, but fatal to the extensive tion of ordinary short staple qualities.Thess difficulties were successfully met by the saw-gin of Mr.Eli Whitney, first started on a good working scale at Mr.Miller's plantation, sixteen miles above Savanash, in the year 1795.By the aid of the gin the planter is enabled to turn out, with one horse power, about 400 ibs.of clean cotton per day.The small foot gin produced only about 30 ibe per day.Henceforti the short-stapled cotton began to be grown in ail directions round Georgia as a common centre, north into tbe two Caroli- nas, west into the hill conotry, and into all the Southern States, ac- commodatiog iteslf 10 the different soils and climates of the interior, which the long-staple coton would not do.The imports last 1m- ported into Grest Britain were as follows : \u2014 In 1854.in 1685.of tb be.o* Bs, o Brazil aod other pers 3 .cases 19 8-10ths.26 8-10ths.- .23 7-l0ths.36 4-10ths.East Indies.118 145 7-10ths.West Indies + 1 T-lôthe.3-10ths.United Brates 731 6-l0the, 702 Total millions of be, 806 7-106hs.910 3-10ths.re,\u2014numely, {o secure the nent and com the Isthmus, ~ the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty of 1 {with these provisions : « Neither party will ever obtain or maintain for itself any exclu: | sive control over the contemplated canal.} Neither will ever erect or maintain any fortification commanding the same or the vicinity thereof.Neither will occupy, or fortify, or colonize, or assume, or exercise any dominion over Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Mosquito Coast, or snp pan of Central America.| either will use any protection which either affords or may afford, or any alliance which either has or may have, to or with any State or people, for the purpose of erecting or maintaining any such fortifications, or of occupying or colonizing Nicaragua, Casta Rica, the | Mosquito Coast, or any part of Central America, or of assuming or exercising any diminion over the same.Neither will take advantage of any intimacy, or use any alliance, connection or influence thet either may possess with any State ot peaple throogh whose territory the canal may pass for the purpose of goquiring or holding, directly or indirectly, for its own citizens or subjects, any unequal rights or advantages of commerce or | navigation.\u201d | These are the provisions of the treaty.They declare that neither party will occupy, or colonize, or assume, or exercise any dominion, land thar neither wil use any protection for the purpase of ocoupy- ing of culonizing any part of the territory which the treaty was in- {tended to cover.The purpose of the Ireaty is apparent from its \\lsaguage.Under us stipulations the United States insists that Great Britain is bound to withdraw her authority from the Mosquito |Conet, from the Bay Islands, and fiom other parts of Central Ame.\u2018ties.The British Government refuses to do s0o,-upon the ground {tbat the stipulations of the treaty were ive in their opevation passage.nder this predominant and and com motive, there- 0 , was concluded \u2014that the: elude her from hereafter colonizing, occupying and Aas goers) le, the trade has been op ro er Perino ong doninion over the tenitories to which relates, lon do to market, is sstimated at cena pc und.But the average not require her to relinguish deminion already acquired.This h far exceed price raslised the planier rage price for five years, ending in 1628 was 10.0 cent.par D.1843 4 06 4 © | od tbat figure.The ave- 1848 was 6.0 cont.per B.1883 \u201c 96 \u201c « of the colten-growiag interes: in the States of Ameri- the ca, it may be siaied thas the valus te the growees of (be crop brought Is conclusion, to sum up in the fewset isle words snd figures tual asutrality of the Isthmus, \u2014should be , s fewset poscèvie fig perpen ity , difference is very serious.We do not propose now to enter au sil into the merits of the case on either side.Our present pur is merely to insist that the contcoversy must de adjusted in conformity with the nal and paramount object of the treaty\u2014ihat any adjustment it which will secure that,\u2014namely, the perfect and nat oad ean possibly receive the assent of the United States.acceptable to both ; and that Do adjusiment which does not secure that ros cant be far from that issoity which is said to be the divine pre- ° of the people of Kansas, and force Slavery upon that Territory agains!

Jt is idle to speak of this sentence as a punishment.Mr, Brooks isa wealthy man and would throw away double the amount of his fine upon a champagne supper without feeling the expenditure.If ihe fine had been $3,000 instead of $300, his admiring constitutents would have raised the amount and presented it to him as a token of their approval of his chivalry.Nothing short of imprisonmert would have been a punishment at ali Mimscxviie Monpex.\u2014 This matter has been cleared up, so fur as Myr.Stewart is concernced, the real parties in the \u2018 Jessie Thomson?\u201d affaic having been bronght to light.It appears that a person named Alexander Adams is the res! calprit in the myeterions movements of Jessie Thomson, whose proper name is Jessie McEwan.It is also said that she is niece to Adams, and has been seduced by her bra'e of an uncle.Nay more, the Mirickville Chronicle affirms that the unfortunate Jessie is the second niece the man Adams has seduced.If this be true, we can find ne 1 strong enough in which to paint so fou! a deed.These poor ie, daughters of his own sister, now dead, were no doubt pure as snow, till contaminated by their black-hearted uncle.Left to his c and afraid of throwing themselves upon ths world, they am to the infernal design of a brute in the garb of a man.Instead of roterting them, he debssed thern.He has embittered their lives orever.There is one hope left, ther minds may not yet be so far degraded as to preclude them from living virtuously for the fatrre \u2014God is merciful aud on him as their raviour they ought to he taught to rely.The case ought to call forth the Christian sympath of the people vf the neighbourhood.Jessie and the other inl, of alive, should at once be rescued from the vile influence of their fiendish uncle, while he oughtto be shunvedand detested Ly eve; man, women and child in the country.Let him wander fork another Cain, that he may find no rest, till he has truly and sincer=ly repented of the foul crime he has committed against the best interests of society.\u2018The people living on the road, as well as the inhabitants of Perth and Smith\u2019s Falls, (Adams lives about seven and a half miles from Smith\u2019s Falls on the Perth roed) should take Isome action in the matter.Adams ought not for a moment longer Ibe allowed io hold control over his nieces.Prompt ineasures should be taken to remove them from his power.If this is not done the peogle in the vicinity will, in a manner, be partakers of his sin.\u2014 Brockville Recorder.1 Tues vor THE River St.Lawarnce\u2014We had yesterday the Privilege of inspecting two very fine vessels, built by Messrs.!

and it is said, in reference to certain disonlers in the elections at Louisville, St.Louis and New Orleans, that the victoriés of the order are baptized in blood, In view of the possible prevalence of such a spirit, in a country which boasts of toleration above all others, the attolica commends the suggestions of (uunding an asylum for the oppressed somewhere in the m of the forests of Canada or the United States.Such a colony would, it is said, secure the Irish Catholics, so numerous in the new world, the privilege of worship soconding to their ancient faith, and the proper training of their ohil- dren, now subjected to the worst influences of prejudice and perse- eution.It is, perhaps, not unnatural that the writer should see other évils in the working of oùr political system.Reference is mae to avery question, and some recent Proposition to increase the ork\u2014 the metropolis of the vices, as of the commerce of the new weeld\u2014 the remark war;

and another named Sullivan committed suicide to escape a public execution.All of these men had been gamblers, drunkards, and rowdies, and their (ate presents a fearful lesson to those who commence a careet of vice.The satoon\u2014the theatre\u2014the circus\u2014the race course\u2014the cockpit=the gaming table\u2014are the high roads to the gallows and to hell.As it so happened that all these men were Roman Catholics, and that most vf a list of twenty more who were ordered by the Vigilance Committee to quit the State, never 10 return, were nominally of the same.faith, this movement of purification was invested with a sort of Protestant character, but without reason.\u2018These scoundrels were hanged and banished, not because they were Roman Catholics, but because they wore the worst and most dangerous men in the country.At the latest accounts the Vigilance Committes was still sustained by the people, and refused to submit to the authorities elected by the stuffed ballot box of Casey and Yankee Sullivan.The Covernor had issued very threatening proclamations, and the remaining gamblers, drunkards, and black legs, were arming on the side of law and order, as thay term it, or of law and mur er, as it was called by the friends of the Vigilance Committee, who were enrolled for its defence in overwhelming numbers.This unnatural state of things would, it was feared, continue till the September elections.\u2014 The Kansas Legislature, which was elected by the people\u2014 not that elected by Missouri ruffians\u2014met at Topeka ou the 4th July, and was turned out by Col.Summer, backed by dragoons and cannon, which he assured the speakers he would use by orders of the President of the United Siates if they did not disperse.At the latest dates companies of {rec State emigrants were arriving through | Iowa, \u2014the Missouri River route being so beset with ruflians that several companies of emigrants from free States had been disarmed, plundered, and turned back.\u2014 The Washington House of Representatives voied to expel Brooks for his assault on Senator Sumner,\u2014Yeas 12i, Neas 95, bat as two thirds are required for expulsion the motion was lost.Brooke however, seeing the majority against hius resigned and intimated his purpose of appealiog to bis conatituents.A similar vote with a similar result, has passed upon Keit who accompanied and abetted Brooks in the assault.\u2014 A dreadful railway accident occurred near Philadelphia on the 17thinst.The children of a Roman Catholic Sabbath school in Philadelphia were taking an excursion, the train was behind time in starting, and was run at fall speed to reach a station before the down train arsived, unhappily the latter arrived at the station first, and the excursion train not being there, the down train moved slowly towards Philadelphia.On reaching a part of the line where there were (wo curves, the two trains came into colli sion so violently that both engines rose on ead, and six passenger cars were crushed to pieces.Hundreds of persons were buried beneath the shattered and burning cars, for the latter took fice.\u2014 The number killed on the spot was 39, and at least twice as many were seriously injured.This fearful catastrophe was occasioned by an act which cannol be too severely condemned, namely, passing a station at which an up train was expected, and the time of its arrival had passed.It is to be hoped that strict injunctions are gived upon Canadian railroads, that no train shall pass a station, at which another train is due, till it is ascertained that the line is clear, and the next stalion master notified not to allow trains to pass.\u2014 Herbert who brutally murdered an Irish waiter in Washington, turns out to be one of the California bullies who was elected by stuffed ballot boxes.He has been tried fur the murder before a Washington jury, which siood, ten for acquittal, and only two for conviction! ~The jury was therefore discharged, and the accommodating judge\u2014tbe same who fined Brooks $300\u2014set down the new trial for next day, #0 as not to incommode a member of Congress by inconvenient detention.Washington is fast acquiring a reputation in the States, which will lead, we think, either 10 the removal of the Seat of Government, or, more likely, the abolition of slavery in the district of Columbia.\u2014 The arrival of a fugitive slave in Boston one day last week produced great excitement.The man had secreted himself on board .3 i i weigh a attack from the fly ;

testants, will induce him to withdraw his daughters from the Nunnery.There can, evidently, be no justification for sending children to Romish institutions to learn any branch of knowledge, however useful ; for it were better that they should never leasn French or fanoy needle work, if these accomplishments can only be acquired at the expense of principle, or at the risk of losing their souls.But there are Protestant institutions where young ladies may acquire all needful accomplishments quite as well, though, perhaps, not quite so cheaply as in richly endowed Convents, which, being independent of fees, make cheap education the Jure to their limed twigs for catching souls.ARCHBISHOP CHARBONNEL AND THE ROUGES.Our intimation that the Romish Church in Canada was jilting her political saints, Cauchon, Taché and Co., and coquetting with the Rouges of the Lower Province, is growing every day more evident and certain.Her first and cautious approaches through the official organ of Bishop Charbonnel, the Toronto Mirror, having scarce] been responded to, although not spurned, new and more decided advances of the saree character are now being made.All the offensive epithets denoting # bad Catholics,\u201d which, till the other day were unsparingly applied by the priesthood to our French Demo- crata, are How se ved up in the same manner to the Ministerialists, while the odor of sanctity, so long monopolized by the latter, is suddenly transferred through infallible hands, to their younger opponents, so long the execration of Rume.The simple-minded faithful will scarcely be able to account for the sudden change, unless through unheard of apostacies amongst saints, and wonderful instanilaneous conversions amongst icfidels and red socialists.Yet no one has heard that the slightest change of heart for the better or the worse has taken place recent.y amongst a single one of these politicians of either class.Only a political vote has taken place in the Legislature, the affair of an instant, and after this, there is a vision of fallen augels and sanctified devils, such as the country never witnessed belure, und which nothing cao explain but the magical power in the wand of 4 Romish Bishop.Unfortunate slaves, worthy of all commiseration, who can thus be turned from Paradise to Hell and vice versa, at the whim of an ata- bitious and unscrupulous priest.But thanks to God this is not Christianity, and the freedom of thie Gospel has nothiug in common with the despotism of these self-styled successors to the Apostles, whose assumed power of the keys of the kingdom of Heaven, consists merely *in shulling it up against men, so that they neither go in themselves, neitner sutfer them that are entering to go iu.\u201d\u2014 Matthew xxiii.13.But let us transcribe a few of the compliments which the Church of Rome pays to the Rouges, through her advanced sentinel and, at present, official organ, the Mirror.In an article headed the \u201cLower Canada Opposition,\u201d that paper has undertaken a rehabilitation of the Rouges su complete, that their sanctity is now exalted even above that of their most devout predecessors in the political service of the Church.The terrible accusation of socialism which has been so pertinaciously brought against the Rouges by the Romish press, and from which they have derived their unpopular appela- tion, is very easily disposed of in the following way :\u2014 « Socialism, is a terrible cry when, as in France, it has a meaning, but in this country it is the merest bombast, raised by the same clique that used to cry ¢ Irish Rebel\u2019 in former times in order to deceive the people into mute submission, beneath degrading laws.\u201d This is precisely the answer given repeatedly for years by the Lower Canadian Democrats, to the heinous charge of Socialism and Rouge-ism fostered against them by the priests and their organs.\u2014 This plea of justification could not be accepted then, it was repudiated as falsehood, but it is truth now ; admire the virtue of infallibility ! And then what a nice episcopal slap to the True Witness, the Minerve, the Journal de Quebec, etc., etc., to call their zealous aod indefatigable advocacy of guod principles, against the supposed most dangerous enemies of the church inthe Province, \u201cihe merest bombast.\u201d Is this the reward of years of devout toil in the cause of Romanism?Our poor contemporaries seem struck dumb since the discomfiture of their patron political saints ; they dare not venture to say anything of their own at present for or against the Rouges, they have to be content with taking the watchword from their leader in Toronto, and transcribing his articles, while the Catholic Citizen, more independent, laughs at them, and asks mischievously, his confrere of the True IVitness, who recently wrote a homily on editorial obedience to the clergy, When he will receive ¢\u2018permiasion\u2019\u2019 to write on these dangerous poiuts ?But let us give a further extract from the Mirror.After praising the politics of the French Opposition, which he puts on a par with that of O\u2019Connell, who was also a democrat, and after asserting that they have falsely been taxed with being revolutionists and an- nexationists, he comes to refute the accusation, which no one we believe has made, that \u201cthe 12 Rouges of the Opposition are Protestants of the most fanatical and bigotted stamp.\u201d He says: \u2014 So far from these gentlemen being Protestants, they are as good attendants to the duties of the religion of their ancestors as any of their opponent ; nay more, we have ourselves frequently observed them kneeling at the rails before the altar with the humblest citizen and partaking of the highest favor which the church confers upon the laity.' can bear testimony also to another fact which however disagreeable, must be told in this connection, viz.,\u2014that tery Jaw of the gentlemen on the Treasury benches were ever seen in à similar honorable position.Indeed It began to be matter of astonishment that so few of the familiar faces on the right of the Speakera\u2019s chair were to be seen in any more exalted position than in the vicinity of the Parliament buildings, and we well remember astonishment evinced b Low hima, when a certain Honourable Gentleman for the first time, conde! lo enter St.Michnel\u2019s Cathedral for a quarter of an hour on good Friday.The fact is if any portion of the French Canadians have neglected their religious duties, or become ashamed of their religion since the removal of the Seat of Government to Toronto, it is certainly not the Opposition members.On the contrary with two exceptions, they have proved themselves to bs possessed of the devout, but free spirit of the companions of Jucques Cartier.After this, the Irish Romanists in the Province must be well convinced that the Rouges are, and have always been, holy men much slandered ; and they will be fully prepared for the next step of the Churoh in giving them her politica] patronage.Elsewhere the Mirror publishes a letter of Mr.Marchildon, M.P., in behalf of those who yi THE MONTREAL WITNESS 235 is ques, the flames most vigorous Separate Schools, with the remark :\u2014¢ It will be remembered that!

and that version was evidently made on purpose that the Scriptures might be intelligibly read by, or read to, the mass of the people.But gradually and imperceptibly Latin was superseded by the languages derived from it\u2014Italian, Spanish, and French, while the Scriptures were still left in Latin, and when it was proposed to translate them into modern tongues, this was regarded as a perilous innovation, though it is plain that the real innovation was that which had taken place imperceptibly, since the very object proposed by the vulgate version was, that the Scriptures might nof be left in au unknown tongue.Yet you will meet with many among the fiercest declaimers against the Church of Rome, who earnestly deprecate any of the slightest changes in our authorised version, and cannot endure even the gradual substitution of other words for such as have became quite obsolete, for fear of unsettling men\u2019s minds.It never occurs to them that it was this very dread that kept the Scriptures in the Latin tongue, when that gradually became a dead language.But, universally, the removal at once of the accumulated effects gradusliy produced in a very long time is apt to strike the vulgar as a novelty, when, in truth, it is only a restoration of things to their original state.For example, suppose a clock to lose only ous minute and a few seconds in the week, and to be left uncorrected for a year ; it will then bave lost a whole hour ; and any one who then sets it right, will appear to the ignorant to have suddenly robbed them of that amount of time.This case is precisely analagous to that of the change of style.There was, in what is called the Julian Calendar (that fixed by Julius Cæzer,) a minute error, which made every fourth year à trifle too long; in the course of centuries the error amounted 10 eleven days; and when, about a century ago, we rectified this (as had been done in Roman Catholic countries a centuary earlier,) this mode of reckoning was called \u201cthe new style.\u201d The Russians, who still use what is called \u201cthe old style,\u201d are not now eleven, but twelve days wrong; that is, they are one day further from the original position of the days of the month, as fixed in the time of Julius Cesar: and this they call adiering to the Julian Calendar.So, also, to reject the religious practices and doctrines that have crept in by little and little since the days of the apostles, and thus to restore Christianity to what it was under them, appears to the unthinking to be forsaking the old religion and bringing in a new.\u2014Jrchbishop Whately.AsceNDANCY oF THE CROSS OVER THE CRESCENT.\u2014A great revolution was going on in the affairs of the world when France was the theatre of these convulsive throes.From the contest of the European States with each other, emerged a power which soon came to overshadow all the other countries of the world.Ever since the date of the fall of Napoleon, all the grea: conquests of nations were those of the Christians over the Ma- hommedans ; from the infidelity of the French Revolution arose the lasting superiority of the Cross over the Crescent.In 1818, Algerine slavery was terminated by the cannon of Lord Exmouth ; in 1829, Turkey narrowly escaped subjugation at the hands of the Muscovites; in 1830, the power of France was permanently eatablished on the coast of Africa; in 183%, the Grand Seignior was only saved from destruction at the hand of his rebellions vassal by the dangerous protection of the Russians ; in 1840, that very vassal was driven, by the broadsides of the English, delivered at the foot of the Lebanon, within his own dominion.Hardly had the sound of the French cannon ceased to re-echo in the mountains of the Atlas, when the British guns were heard in the Kyber Pass, amid the Himalaya snows, and their standards were seen in Ghuznee, the cradie of Mahommedan power in Central Asia.Subsequent events have not belied these appearances ; all the interests of the world are now wound up in the East.The greatest strife which modern Europe has witnessed has occurred on the shores of the Euxine, between powers contending for the protection of the decrepit Mahommedan coaquer- ors of the East.There is something in these marvellous events succeeding one another so rapidly, and so different from the former balance of the Cross and the Crescent, which cannot be ascribed to chance ; they betoken a decided step in the Divine administration.The tide of conquest, which long flowed east to west, has now eet in in an opposite direction.Civilisation is returning to the land of its birth, and the descendants of Japhet, in the words of primeval prophecy, are about to \u201c dwell in the teats of Shem.\u201d\u2014JAlison's History of Europe.Vol.V.A Loue AND à Garw.\u2014Tbis is the first heavy loss which you have ever exporlenced ;

This unquestionably deserves to be recorded ; it was remarkable, snd the British soldier fought in a manner worthy of his most glorious days, Yet the Russians did nat fight less bravely, and bravery alone decided nothing.Was it tbe euperiority of the English arme, the use of the Minie rifle, that \u201c queen of weapons,\u201d aa the English call it?No doubt the effect of this was important, inse- much as it occasioned great loss to the Russians, who were mortally struck st a distance of 1,500 paces; and, deprived of their leaders and commanders, their movements became crippled and confused.Yet the Russian sharp-shooters, without Minies, and few in number (only nioety-six in each regiment), with muskets that only reached their opponents at 1,000 paces, killed and wounded as many English officers, and more generale.Was it the wrong direction taken by Soimonoff with his columns?This uad most damaging results, because it contracted the space for the movements of the troops, and their crowded masses presented too favourable a mark for the English fire, From this cause as well as from Soimonofl\u2019s death, this column was soon put \u201chors de combat,\u201d and shared no mere in the progress of the baile, A second disadvantageous consequence was, that on account of the limited extent of the battie-field, the two columns could not attack simultaneously, Lut only one after the other.The well- known fable of the bundle of sticks, which together could not be broken, but easily when separate, has of old been employed to illustrate the evils of a divided attack.All these circumstances worked very prejudicially for the Russians ; but what was really ruinous to thers was the mismanagement of the sham attacks, at least of one of them, which did not prevent Bosquet\u2019s rendering the assistance which decided the fate of the day.\u2014 Russian Accounts of the Battle of Inkerman.EcyPTian LENTILE POTTAGE.\u2014 Beyond the fish market was the market for fruit and vegetables, in which an Arab womsn was crying her wares with the vers tone, voice, and air of one of the cries which [ have beard and seen a bundred or a thousand times from one of her class in London.The resemblance was so complete that | was carried back to England by itin a moment.Amongst the vegetables there were abundance of lentiles, that esculent which Herodotus eaya formed the principal food of the labourers who built the pyramids, and of which also the red pottage was made for which Esau sold his birthright.I have more thao once tasted this pottage of lentiles since my coming bere, and though my opinion does not stand high in such mattors, { can pronounce it excellent ; then there were tomatoes in large quantities, beding jeans, the fruit of a species of egg plant, but shaped like a cucumber, and of a green and purple coloar, which has been recently introduced into Covent-Garden market.Here it ia euch an universal favourite, and can be cooked in such a vast variety of ways, that it is said Lo be eufficient cause for an Arab 10 divorce his wife if she asks him what he will have for dinner when the bedding jean isin season ; then barmens, a very useful esculent, which I wish we badin Eogland ; vegetable marrows, some large like ours, and others not larger than a finger, very delicate, which they cuok whole with the skin on; while onions, large and small, were as plentiful as in the days when Israel, from the wilderness looked back with regret to the vegetables of Egypt.\u2014(Num, xi.5.) Of fruits there were grapes, figs, both green and purple, delicious bananes and plaintains, dates, pomégranates, which, boih in fruit and blossom, ere the subjectof frequent allusion in Seripture ; lemons, limes, and many varieties of melons.A man who had a horse and carrisge to sell, drove it backward and forward in the market-place, proclaiming in a loud voice that it was for sale, and announcing, from time to time, the price which had been offered.\u2014 Journey in the East.Cuewrstay anD MATERiALISM.\u2014The renowned Liebiglately delivered a public lecture on \u201c Animal Chemistry\u201d at Munich, in which he took occasion to declare, from his position as chemist and uaturalist, his opposition to the widely spread views of Mo- leschoti, Vogt, Buclmer, and others of the most rugged materialism.He pronounced himself, with dignity and energy, against the \u201c deniers of mind and vital power,\u201d and illustrated 2nd combatted (rom his profound conviction, their erroneous theories on pure scientific ground.He showed how impossible it is to explain, on chemical principles, the existence of even the lowest connecting parts of an organism\u2014of a cell or a muscular fibre\u2014 and how much more so to account for the mysterious process of life and thinking dy & change of matter.He demonstrated how unable materialists were to distinguish organic combinations from those purely chemical.Nothing, he said, was more absurd then to durive the process of thinking aod willing (rom a phosphorescence of the brain, as Moleschott bad done.How much more of thinking stuff thea (material of thinking), would there be contained in bones, which have four hundred times more phosphorus than the brain 1\u2014BEwglish paper.CHRISTIAN TREASURY.\u201c Their strength is to sit still.\u201d \u2014Ismish xxx.7.Tue STAY OP THE SainT.\u2014Vain is the help of man.To go to Egypt or Assyria for help\u2014that is, to the Lord's enemies for vtrengih to fight his batles\u2014is to vin against the Holy One.When troubles come and danger lours, far better to be sull, and kaow that He is God, than to trust in princes or men\u2019s sons, in whom there is no stay.ls sin assailing us with some strong temptation, and threstening to sweep every good thing in the soul before it1 Then stand sill, my soul, but stand in faith, acd thou shalt sce ihe salvation of our God.Or have the eflecu of sin come upon us like à flood?Ars we like the Hebrews of old at Pi.babicoth, when the rocks hemmed them in on either side, while Pharaoh was behind, aod the Reu Sea beforet Still a p] believers strength in to sit eiill ; if he eit still in faith, God will work, and none shail hinder, The extremity of His people is the time for Him to rise and show that he is God indeed \u2014even their God, to rescue and shield.Or is the aged pilgrim near the close of his journey 1 Does he se the vista this weary life closed by sn open grave\u2014the portals of eternity?\u2018Fhen also man'e strength is to eit atill, for ¢* they that wait upon the Lord shall re- now their strength ; they shall mount up on wings as eagles they shall run and not be weary ; they shall walk and not fant,\u201d Wait on the Lord, then; be of good soursge, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, [ say, upon the Lord.In pationce possess your soul, aed all that can impede a believer's heavenward progress will either be taken oot of the way, or made to minister to his progress.An burnishing brightens steel, and the crucible tests the sold, eo riala and temptations teach the child the Letters of Robert Southey.of God where his strength is found.\u2014 Wenders of Redseming Love. - EE 1 NE EY NPIL } ; i ; | 3 , THE MONTREAL WITNESS.COMMERCIAL REVIEW.!
