and then they are only a sort of shorthand, an outline which the mind fills up.The thing itself, the science, the art, the skill, arc in the minds of living men \u2014 of that generation which is now upon the stage, That generation will die and pass away.In thirty years, all now living will be gone, or retired from the scene, and a This mighty process does not take place at once, cither throughout the world, or in any part of it; butit is constantly going on, silently, effectuaily, inevitably; and ali the knowledge, art, and refinement, now in existence, must be either acquired by those who are coming on the stage, ov it perishes with those who are going off, and is lost There is no way by which knowledge can be handed down; but by being learned over again ; and of all the science, art, and skill in the world, so much only will survive, when those wlio possess it are gone, The rising generation is now called upon to take up this mighty weight, to carry it along a little way, and then hand it over, in turn, to The minds, which, in their maturity, are starting with the ignorance and helplessness It is to In a quiet order of things the stock of useful knowledge is not It is true, there have been periods in the or invasion from abroad, has so blighted condition of society, neration faster than it could be learned by another ;

and cach, acording to his means and ability, try to imitate their glorious example ; despising difficulties, grasping at opportunities, and steadily pursuing some honest and manly aim.We shall soon find, that the obstacles which oppose our pro- gresss sink into the dust before a firm and resolute step : and that the pleasures and all who seek it.\u2014__ ITEALTH or Soxs or TrmPErance.\u2014It is a remarkable fact, fully proved in the United States and in Canada, that Sons of Temperance, according to their numbers, as compared with persons not Sons, under the same cireumstances in life, are decidedly more healthy.In 1849, when the cholera was prevailing about New Orleans wl in the South Western American States, much fewer persons, krown to he Mons of Temperance, died with thi= disease than those who died known not to be such; comparative numbers being taken Into consideration.We know, from observation of the deaths by cholera in Canada, in 1832, 18834 and 1849, that the temperate sun es- eaped where the dranken man was carried Great havoe was made in these years among habitual drinkers of aleolinl.It is a faet within the knowledge of all the members ofthe Ontario Division, nmnbering now npwards of two hundred and filty Fous, that for a year past no money \u2018has been withdrawn from its treasury for the sick; nor has any member in it been seriously sick or died.This Division is composed of all classes in gaciety.Take any other body of men of their size in Toronto and see if the same can be said of them.The result ix much the same all over Canada.Our principles, then, conduce to liealthy and vigour of body.The use of alcohol, in ever so small a quan tity, deranges the healthy action of the stomach.In this view of our order, as a pecuniary profit, it is the interest of all to join us.Jt is not upon this ground alone that they should join, Lut on lrigher ones of Lenevolence and good will to men.\u2014 Sous arc also true and honorable in the pay- nent of benefits to sick brethren.We heard, when in Niagara lately, of a striking instance of good faith, in the Thorold or Hydraulic Division.of thie kind.This Divison expended fifty pounds in the rure of a sick brother.This subject is now only touched upon by us, and will form the sub- jeet ofa long article hereafter.\u2014 Son of Temperance.It is rumoured that some enterprising shoemakers purpose making up a new article of boot, the upper leather to be composed of the mouths of hard-drinkers.It is supposed that they will be perfeetly impervious to water, and conscquently have great sale.Prastixg Roses.\u2014The beanty and infer- est which a garden affords depend greatly upon the disposition of its individual parts ; even the arranging and planting of u single bed require experienced taste in order to produce effective display.Take, forexam- ple, a rose bed ; hnagine the kinds to be in diseriminately mixed, and no attention to have been paid to their respective heights, and the effet produced by such a medley assemblage will be immediately felt by any person possessing taste and mnaccustomned to observation.Let us furthersuppose such a bed to be cireular, and the effects will be as bad ns they well conld be, unloss the object aimed at was to represent wild nature.The taller plants should have been planted in the centre and the others arranged so ns gradually to fall to the outer rim.This arrangement would advance us a step; but let us proceed further and dispose of the trees in zones or circles.In this way we give the bed tho expression of design.For be it clearly understood that we are discussing gardening in an artificial sense.Now let us go a little further still, and consider whether there he not yet room for improvement; suppose we plant one colour in the centre circle, and so change each cirele until we reach the outer one.By such a classification we add colour as well as design: but imagine the colours to be so arranged that another important feature is produced, viz., contrast, and the picture becomes still further improved, though not yet finished, Would not an edging render the whole more complete?The beauty and brilliancy of the rose would be singularly improved and relieved by an evergreen margin.This would in somo measure help as it were to lift the group from the earth and place it nearer the eye.'Thisedging may be of ivy cotoneaster microphylla or pernettya mucronata, or in fact any low dwarfevergreen shrub kept shorn into a formal rim.In the above is shown how mneh beauty may be exhibited even in a circular bed, by the exercise of a little taste and forethought; but these simple principles are by no.means confined to a rosebed ; they can be carried into effect in the arrangement of a garden, so that unity and éomprehonsiveness of design may characterize the whole.When a contrary state of things prevails, delight vanishes, confusion ta pleasure, and instead of the most charming man of business from the oppression und .Ratieties of mind usually resulting from close applicatiori, lid abandons the whole in utter dismay and hopelessness, (Gardener's Chronicle.) ing temptation, and scorning sensual plea- happy.Our whole country is a great and speaking illustration of what may be done the cause of benefits of knowledge are within the reach of kes the place of order, disgust that of A correspondent of the Horticulturist says, 1 had the pleasure of eating some very fine musk melons, at Cottage Lawn, the seat of Thomas Ludlow, Esq., and he kindly gave me the following account of his method of treating them, which is so much less expensive and more simple than the usual manner of protecting the young plants with hand glasses, which require a small fortune devoted to them alone, that I think it may be useful to some of your readers.After the young plants have been started in a frame, they ave set out in the melon pateh, and each one is enclosed by four common bricks, laid flat on the broadside, and the space at the top is covered with a panc of ordinary window glass.This enclosure remains until the plant reaches the glass, when the bricks are turned up on one side, and the glass replaced.By the time they have grown up to this roof, they are strong enough to do without protection, and the season so far advanced that frost is not feared.The fruit resulting from this treatment was uncommonly fine and large, and the vines very healthy and strong.The seeds may be sown at once in the melon bed, if nore convenient, and enclosed with the brick and glass.Tur Saracex Expire.\u2014We may take as some specimens of the magnificence of the Saracen Empire, in Spain, the single city of Cordova, which, in \u2018point of wealth and grandeur, was seareely inferior to its proud rival on the banks of the Tigris.À space of twenty-four miles in length and six in breadth, along the margin of the Gau- «l.iquiver, was oceupied with streets, gardens, places, and poblie edifices.For ten miles the citizens might travel by the light of the lamps along an uninterrupled extent of buildings.In the reign of Almaz, Cor.dova could boast of 270,000 houses, 80,000 shops, 89 public schools, 50 hospitals, 811 baths, 3,877 mosques, from whose minarets 800,000 persons were daily summoned to prayers.\"The seraglio of the caliph consisted of the enormous number of 6,370 wives, concubines, and black eanuchs ; the caliph was attended to the field by a guard of 12,000 horsemen, whose belts and seymitars were studded with gold.Such was Cor- dova ; and the city of Grenada was perhaps equally celebrated for its wealth, Jux- ury and learning.After the time of which we now speak, nothing scemed more probable than that the western world and all coming generations, should reccive their learning, civilization and religion at the hands of the followers of the false prophet.The tide of human affairs now indicated that the crescent, instead of the cross, wonld monopolize the vast resources of knowledge, of discoveries, inventions, improvements in arts, advane- ment in the sciences, and of all the modern facilities for the propagation and establishment of religion, which christianity now enjoys.Had not the tide of Mohammedan advancement been arrested just,at the time it was, (a year before the discovery of Ame- vica,) in all human probability the vast advantages which now acerne to christianity from the use of the press, the mariner\u2019s compass, the application of steam to the purposes of locomotion and the arts, and from the various rich improvements of modern days, would have been engines to propel onward the terrific car of Islam, and ernsh inits course every rising germ of christianity.But Me that watches the falling sparrow, and numbers the hairs of your head, would not have it so.The mandate had gone out from the throne of the Majesty of Heaven, saying to the rolling billows of Arabia's mad fanaticism.\u201c Thus far thou shalt come, and no further.\u201d When the imperial city of Grenada yielded to the arms of Ferdinand and Isabella, and the banners of the cross waved trinmphantly over the red towers of the Alhambra, the tide of Moham- medanisin was turned back, and from that good hour the religien of Cal:ary was fledged for her immortal flight.ExTRAORDINARY CooreraGEe.\u2014 The application of science to the increased produe- tion of articles necessary for commerce has rarely been exhibited in a more striking way than by a patented invention for constructing casks, barrels, puncheons, and everything in the cvoperage line, in a spree of time which literally baffles belief, One of the machines is at present in operation nt the St.Rollox works.An on-looker must be astonished to find the staves of an ordinary-sizéd cask prepared, put together, and headed in « little more than ten minutes.The thing is perfect\u2014the cutting and joining are done with mathematical precision, and all the hand really has to do is to arrange thestaves and fix the heads ; all the rest is accomplished by machinery, and with so little trouble, that the article is finished before one could fancy that a hoop wag on.The mechanism, like that of almost all important inventions, is exceedingly simple ; the only wonder is, when it is examined, how so clear and ensy a mode of doing a great den! of work with a very small amount of labor has not been hit upon lLeforc now.We cannot very well des- eribe the instrument and its adjuncts without diagrams, but itis an invention well worthy of notice, because it saves manual lalior, and gives a great amount of reliance on vessels not leaking\u2014grent disiterala to those engaged in trade where extensive cooperage is required.The patentee of this invention is Mr.James Robertson, formerly of Liverpool.The machine has been in brewery of Messrs.Tenant, of Well Park, and the chemical works of Messrs.Ten- nant, of St, Rollox, where it has been found to answer every purpose the patentee anticipated.\u2014 Glasgow Chronicle.== The Portogtese army consists in time of peace of 25,448 men and 2825 horses, and in war of 49,903 men and 4786 horses, operation for a considerable time at the 000 In Wales a fire has heen raging in a coal mine for twenty\u2014six years, and has consumed, it is computed, $500,000 worth of coal.Within five years after its commencement it was greatly restrained bv the construction of an enormous wall which cost 880,000.At present it is about passing this wall, threatening very extensive destruction, and learned engineers have heen employed to consult on some new measure \u2018of arresting its progress, TnE EDITORS aND THE Kine.\u2014Five editors of London Journals, Messrs Russell, of the Times, Leon, of the Morning Herald, Woodson of the Morning Chonicl~, Stuart of the Daily News, and Ludwytch, of the Sllustrated London News, were lately travelling together in the north of the Island of Zealand, and presented themselves one mormng at the historically famous and royul castle of Fredericksburg, near Elsinore.The travellers happenning to arrive at atime when the king was staying at the castle, were told by the superintendent that he could not permit them to enter.But his Majesty of Denmark hearing that the representatives of the London press desired to view his residence, iinmedintely ordered them to be admitted, and received them with the greatest affability in his cabinet.He then directed that they should be attetled throughout the buildings and grounds, and after their return they found n° déj zner prepared, and two of the carringes of the Court placed at their disposition to return to Elsinore ; ut which place the visitors safely arrived, char= med with the graceful hospitality of the king.ANECDOTE OF A Doc.\u2014 \\ friend who has heen spending the winter in Halifax, N.S., telle vs the following anredote of a dog, which is about the best story of canine sagavity we have ever heard, lige is a splendid Newfoundland, and possesses good sense as well as good looks, [eis in tne hahit of going every morning, with a penny in his mouth, to the s me butcher\u2019s shop, and purchasing his own breakfast, like a gentlemarly dog as heis But il ro happened upon one cold morning during the past winter, the shop wage closed, and the ne- cessi'y sepined to he imposed upon Tige, eith.r to wait for the hutchet\u2019s return, or look for his breakfast elsewhere.\u2014 Hunger probably constrained him to take the latter alternative, and off he started for another butcher\u2019s shop, nearest lo his favorite place of resort, Arriving there, he deposited his money on the block, and smacked his chops for breakfast, as usual ; but the butcher, instead of meeting the demand of his customer as a gentleman ouzht, h,nshed the coin into bis till, and drove the dog out of the shop.Such a disgracelu] proceeding on the part nf à MAN, very natovally ruffled the temperof a BRUTE; but as there was no other alternative, he was obliged to submit.The next morning, however, when his master furnished him with the coin for the purchase of breakfast, as nenal, the dog instead of going to the shop where he had heen aecnstomed to \\rade went imtnediataly to the shop Irom whence he was so unceremoniously ejected bat the day hefore\u2014laiv his penny upon the block, and with a growl, as much as te say.¢ you don\u2019t play any more tricks upon travellers,\u201d placed his paw upon the penny.The hotcher, not liking to rik, under such a demonstration, the perpetration of another (rind, immediately rendered him the guid pro, in the shape of a slice of meaty and was about to appropriate the pen- nv as he had dene the day previous, to his own coffers ; but the dog quicker than he was, made away with the meat at one swallow, and seizing the penny again in hi< mouth, made off ta the shop of his more honest acquaintance, and by the purchase of a double breakfast made ap for his previous fast, \u2014( Horcesler Spy.)

An experiment of à new means of destroying ships-of-war which was prepared during the late Bolstein diffieulties lerminated disastrouslv, and almost tragically, near Kiel, Danish Hol- sten.\u2014We translate from the Mlustririe Zri- tung, published at Leip-ie, the following account of the enterprise and its results :\u2014 ¢ The machine was huilt by an under officer in the Schleswig Holstein army, by the name of Bauer, and was intended to be used in blowing up the Danish ships which, during the late war, were operating against Schleswig-Hol- stein.Having perfected fus plan, Bauer laid it hefore the Government of Holstein, and asked for their #id in building the vessel.But they nat having faith in the practicability of the plan, he was compelled to turn for assistance to rich individuals, and succeeded in obtaining hy subscription in the Schleswig Holstein army, # sufficient sum to enable him to undertake the building of his ship.In this way the vessel was built at Kiel, and completed in December of last year.This wonderful ship was launched in the presence of a great number of spectators, at the port of Stapel, In form it resembles a common yacht.except that it is much narrower.A tube is placed in the fore part of it, which is provided with very thick windows and a trap door for the entrance and exit of the men necessary lo work the ship; the visible apparatus consists of a pump for lifting and sinking the ship, and a screw hy which itis propelled.There are also in the fore part qwo gloves of gulta percha, protecied by which the direetcr of the diving ship attaches the powder magazine to the vessel intended to be blown up, This is ignited from a distance by means of a aalvapic wire, The sides as well as the deck of the vessel are of iron.An exact description of the machinery cannot he given, as the inventor, very naturally, does not wish to make it public, + On the first trial, the sides of the ship, as well as the pumps, proved quite 100 weak, a difficulty which was early discovered, oul which was cansed by the want of funds, The first trial was successful, however, ss Baner took care not to let his vessel sink too deep.being aware that at a depth of thirty feet his ship would inevitably be destroyed by the pressure of the water, The particular object of the inventor, the lowing up of the Danish ships- of-war, wus prevented at the time, as their ships left the hurhour ea the approach of frost, © On the first of February last, Bauer made another tri4l of his vessel, and this time he was not so fortunate even as before, He descended, accompanied by two volunteers from the Schleswiz~Holstein navy, at nine o\u2019clock in the morning, under water, and did not appear again with his ship, After the hoats which had accompanied him had waited a long time for the re-appearance of the ship, cannons were fired, in the hope of causing il to rise.Its place was taund alter some search by dropping ahead, and the cries for help of the submerged men were heard trom the depths of the water, All possi- hie attempts were now made to lift the diving ship, but they proved vain.Strong iren chains and cables were sunk in the water, and after long labour some of them were actually made tast by Bauer, but the heavy shin cauld nat be lifted upward, und the multitudes from the city who had assembled in hoate, considered the rescue of the three unfortunate men as impossible, What Bauer hal dreaded, had taken lace.The pumps, when the vessel had reached the depth of thirty feet, worked hauly, and it wus foreseen that as it sank deeper, they would be destroyed by the pressure of the water, or at least hecome useless, What was dreaded was not long Jelayed\u2014a crash followed, and the three submerged men looked upon their fate as certain, This was (he most fearful moment, according to Bauer's account, of the whole six hours which he and bis companions spent under water, ¢ Fortunately, the deck of the ship and the sine walls remained uninjured, although an opening was made in the lower part, by which the waler slowly entered\u2014a circumstance which saved the thice men from certain death, The atlempts to lift the ship by means of chains and cables were, as we have remarked, given up after long and vain exertions, and nothing remained 10 Bauer and his companions hut their own efforts.The two strongest men tried to open the upper trap-duor, but in vain ; the pressure ofthe Water was too strong to allow them to lift it as much ag an inch, and there remained hut one hape of salvation, and this was also a severe trial of their patience, It was with difficalty that Bauer persuaded his companions to keep quiet and avoid all usrless waste of their strength.He could not make them satisfied with his plan, which was to awailiquietiy the rising of the water, till the pressure of the uir cuused by this rising would be strong enough to upen the trap-doof, With the greatest coolness Bauer wrapped himself in his cloak and remained seated in the npper part of the vessel, that he might not he chilled by the cotd water.+ When the ship was so far filled with water that the three divers stood in it.up to, their neck and it was almost impossible for Hem to breathe the condensed air, Baber ghve the strongest of his companions the signa) to make an atlempt to open the doot.He was able to lift i1 with ease, and was carried in the same moment by the pressure of the air up out ot the opening and thruwn upon the surface of the water.Bauer and his companion, who were almost fainting, naturally followed, and all three reached the surface of the water in safety, where they were-immediately received with loud-buiras from the assembled multitude, and taken into the boats, Breathing in the lieavy air and remaining in the icy cold water had so exhausted them that the two companions of Bauer were obliged to be sent to the hospital, but he needed but a few hours re- pese to be entirely recovered, «The heavy diving ship, which weighed seventy thousand pounds, still lies 40 teet deep in the water, ani itis very d-ubtful whether it will ever be got up.The invention, however, may prove a very valuable one, although the first trial has failed in consequence of the de- lective construction of the ship.fa building another ship, which Bauer is still disposed.to undertake, he hopes to remedy (hese defects, and to he able to prove that his invention will be found useful in carrying on naval warfare,\u201d The German paper from which the above narrative is taken contains an engraving of the diving ship at Kiel, before its submersion, (From the Water Cure Journal.)

and when the army was visited with fever, the line of graves, which marked the \u2018interments from his corps, was only half as long as those of the other two surgeons, Some idea of his practice may be found from the treatment of his own case, He took the fever, and was left to die.¢¢ It was the fashion,\u201d says his biographer, «+ to give bark in these fevers, and the Inspector general, in taking bis last leave, as be syp- posed of Mr, Guthrie, inculeated the necessity of taking it ;

and in respect to London patients, I may confidently assure you that a fortnight of country, air (especially at the sea-side, and with coli shower-baths) does more for recovery than an unlimited quantity of medicine taken amid the patient\u2019s previous and unbeslthy circumstances.\u201d .It is marvellous that a man should be able to see so much, and see no more.He cannot see that the more powerful the medicines, the more powerful the mischief ; that nature, in repose, and amid healthy conditions effects tke cure in\u2019 spite of the medicines ; and he puts the baths, which even in their worst form do good, ina\u2019 parenthesis, as of little importance, and as the.grammer says, * not necessary lo make sense,\u201d?Errect oF Muepicines.\u2014All medicines,\u2019 which have any perceptible action, act as poisons.They excite and stimulate the nervous system in an unhealthy manner.For example, if an emetic is given, the offended stomach\u2019 summons all its power to cast it out ; bul the mischief is, that the nerves are weakened by.this very effort, and that there is always danger that the whole poison is not expelled.Some may remain, to irritute the system, and produce diseased action, So of a cathaitic.Its effect depends wholly upon the effort of nature to expel a poison from\u2019 the system\u2014an effort which is at once weakening and imperfect, for experience has proved that cathartic medicines, when the system is\u2019 too weak to cast them out, are surrounded hy\u2019 a coating of mucus, and remain in the bady for an indefinite period, ready to become the seeds\u2019 of chronic diseases.The action of narcotic medicines, such as opium, cicuta, stramonium, and a large class of vegetable poisons, it is too well known to require elucidation, Not a particle of these medicines can de taken without harm to the system.Large dases kill\u2014small ones inevitably injure.Whatever good they seem to do at the\u2019 moment, hy their stimulating or narcotic influence, is bought dearly at the expense of nervous power.All stimulants, as wine, beer, cider, brandy, rum, tea, coffee, tobacco.npinm,\u2019 &e., are poisonous, and cannot be taken into the system with impunity ;

but when we see this feeling carried so far as to interfere with the public interest ; when we see an attempt made, nu matter Ly whom or by what body, be it ever so respectable or so powerful, to subject the community to inconvenience and annoyance, we will not pass it over in silence; our duty to the pul- lic is, and ever shall be, considered by us paramount to ail other considerations.\u2014 Further, when we see this feeling carried sd fur as to permit gross misrepresentatiun of facts, and evasive assertions to be indulged in, we think it calls still wore loudly for remarks from us.The reply of the Board of Trade and their correspondence with the Provincial Seeretary, also subjoined, are open to all these remarks.\u2018The Board of Trade, ns a preliminary to their denial of the right of ship-masters to interfere, aud of their interest in the matter, state that the expense of the maintenance of the Police Furce, and the surplus funds for that purpose now remaining in their hands, have uct been contributed by the ship-masters, but by the ship-owners, thus cvasively endeavouring to draw a distine- tion between them, affecting ignorance of the circumstance that the ship-master, after he once leaves the Port of departure, is owner and master to all legal intents and purposes.Independently of this, even setting aside the idea that even us private servants they would conscienciously feel an interest in the concerns of their employers committed to their charge, the Board of Trade, if composed of men having any pretension to experience in the mercantile profession, must be well aware that the greater part of ship masters trading to this port ave personally interested in the ships they command, that they are generally part owners.Then if such be the case, why insult them by telling them they do not contribute to the maintenance of the Police Force ; that they are not interested in the matter ; that they would do better to attend to their duties on board their ships 2 If the position of the ship-masters did not entitle them to the accession of their request, it certainly entitled them to a reapcetful answer.But the Board of Trade has not stopped here.The ship-masters who made this request, being men of experience from their long and coustant trading to this Port, were well aware that the present Police Force, consising of 2 boats and 14 men, would not be sufficient to protect the shipping interests, when double that force in preceding years proved insufficient to du #0.They have actually experienced the insufficiency of the present existing Force, or rather Half-Force, since their arrival this spring.Yet, forsooth, the Board of Trade, not satisfied apparently with having previ ously insulted them, tell them, * you have not suffered any inconvenience.it is all imagination on your part, the present force is quite suificient for all the exigencies of the Port.\u201d This conduct, even ina private individual, smarting under the lash of private spleen, would be considered reprehensible ; but when exercised by a public body, it should not be tolerated by the community for an instant.[In their communication tu the Provincial Secretary the Board of Trade state that the new Mercantile Marine Aet, now in force, \u2018will very much diminish desertion, and \u201c repress disorder among seamen, especial- \u201cly that clause of it which provides that \u201c no seamen shall be entitled to sue for * wages unless he is discharged with the written consent of the master, &e.,\u201d and have hastily concluded that a reduction in the Police Force could be permitted with advantage to the community, and have reduced it accordingly.This is an egregious crror, and one that evinces a culpable want of foresight and prudence in the manage- menf'of the affairs confided to their direction, did for which they should be made accountable.The 94th section of the above-cited Act, enacts, \u2018that no seaman ¢ who is engaged for a voyage or engage- * ment which is to terminate in the United \u201c Kingdom, shall be entitled to sue, abroad, \u201c for wages, iii'dfiy Court or before any \u201c justice, &c.\u201d Now this clause only deprives our Magistrates of jurisdiction in cases where an agreement has-been regularly entered into, and when that agrec- ment has Leen for a voyage to terminate in the United Kingdom; byt must not the myuter'of fhe vessel appear before a Justice of Tho \u201cPeace to prove his contract, as he wi$ \u2018previously obliged to do, and in the event of any informality occurring in the self in precisely the same situation in relation tu the Master as he was previous to the passation of the Act, and the Magistrate finds himsclf compelled tu discharge the seaman, as he was hitherto bound to do.\u2014 Thus, then, the anticipations of the present Board of Trade will be found to meet with anything but realization ; desertion will be as prevalent as ever; vexatious suits at law will be as numerous us they were before; the new Mercantile Marine Act cau- not have the slightest etleet in repressing either.If this Le the case, then, how can mitted,\u2014and the fact bus been experienced by the whole community, \u2014thar the previ ously existing Police Foree was not cven sufficient to meet the exigencies of the Port, come forward with any color of reason or commun sense, and say, that half that Force will Le sufhi ent now, although the circumstances of the seamen ave in no wise altered irom the position in which they were before?It is only necessary to consider these facts to feel assured of the sagucity and legal acumeu of the Quebec Buard of | Trade.There is one circumstance, however, that tickles our curiosity most sensibly, and which, we must confess, we do uot clearly understand : it is this :\u2014\u2014the Board state in their 5th resolution, That the great frequency of desertion in Port is caused by the high wages offered for seamen, and again by shipmasters seeking for men to replace those having deserted for that purpose, und thereby inducing fresh desertions from one slip to another, and multiplying the evil to an indefinite extent: and in the 7th they promise to increase the Police Foree should any neeessity for doing so be made apparent to them.Well, then, they cannot consider that that necessity exists at present, sinee they have refused to comply with the request of the Shipmasters to increase the Police Foree.Now, then, we will assume their own premises to be correct\u2014that desertion arises fram the causes they have alleged, and will the shipping imperiousiy demand an immediate extension of the present l'olice l\u2019urce, but that in point of fae: it is more required and would De vf greater service now, than ibly cau be at any other portion of the fou sunson.If, as they say, desertion is caused by the high wages offered to seamen, and by shipmasters seeking to replace their deserters, it cannot be denied that the greater number of ships there are in port, and the greater number of sailors required, the more extensive the desertion will be.Well, then, in addition to the ustial number of vessels trading here, there are nu less than thirty new vessels, of large tonnage, built and launched here this spring, all requiring, wot a few hands to replace deserters, but each vequiring a full complement of experienced seamen, say, ut least, 15 or 20; thus a demand is hnmediately ereated fur SOU or GOU men over and above the number required at any other scason of the year.And how und where arc these men to be obtained ?there are no seamen residing in Quebee; they must Le tuken from the ouly place they ean be obtained \u2014 from the vessels already arrived or about to arrive in Port.The owners of these new vessels are anxious tu get them off as early as possible, and ean consequently offer a high price for geaunen, which will act as an inducement to desertion, knowing that the carly arrival of their vessels at home, will more than reimburse them for the increase made in seamen\u2019s wages.To what a frightful cxteat, then, must desertion be carried, to supply this extraordinary demand ?and this desertion must, and will take place immediately, yet, the Board of Trade say, they sec no necessity for increasing the Police Force now ; that they will do it il experience prove it to be insufficient fur the exigencies of the port.Thus promising, to use an old aphorism, to shut the cage door when the bind has flowu ; to extend the Police Force when the thirty new ships will have been supplied, and when desertion will have ceased.Can the Board of Trade ba ignorant of this fact ?We entertain too good an opinion of the Board, to indulge, for a moment, in the reflection, that motives of personal interested.ness could have influence! their conduet in this particular ; yet, itis an unquestionable fact that the greater part of all the vessels built here ave raised by monies advanced from different parties; indeed, all the shipbuilders here, with a few cxceptions, are obliged to resort to lous to enable thew to conduct their business.We feel that the Board of Trade would not allow themselves to be influenced by those interested in tha vessels, or who have advanced loans upon them; yet, we are compelled to adinit that, it is a singular subterfuge to say, that no amount of Police Force would be sufficient to prevent desertion.It is now, before these ships are supplied with men, we should have an efficient Police Force.It is now that desertion might effectuaily Le prevented.It is useless, it is inconsistent with incontestable facts, to assert, that no amount of Police Foree would have the effect of remedying the evil of desertion.The masters of the vessels who must be pre- suined, by ail rensonable persons, to be the best acquainted with this fact, positively as- sertin their resolutions, that they have found the River Police, under the ale.management of the officers superintending them, most useful in protecting the shipping interests.The ship-masters are aware that if desertion was not effectually prevented by four or five police Loats, it cannot be suppressed now that the Force is reduced to half that number.They consider an increased Police lorce necessary for the protection of their vessels, aud as they are willing to pay for their maintonance, we think they are entitled to have them organized.In conclusion, we must express our belief, that the Board are too well acquainted with the form of government documents, to bo, like our contemporary, the * Chronicle,\u201d elated at the sight of a paragraph in the Provincial Secretary\u2019s communication to the President of the Board, which has been contained in-cvery letter issuing from that qitarter, ever \u2018ince the Police Force has been in existence, a period of several years ast.We subjoin the documents for the con- \" contract which nullifies it, or that by it the + © \u2026.sideration of our readers.the Board of Trade, who have tacitly ad-! prove by it, not only that the interests of un the 1Tih instant, which being rend\u2014it was resolved, That the funds from which the expense of maintaining 8 River Palice Force has been hitherto defrayed, mud the balance of said funds | remaining in the hands of the Board of Trade, j luave not becu contributed by Shipmanters, as stated in the resolations referred to, but by the i Shipowners, That whilst willing at all times to attend to rensounble remonstranee ur advice from Ship- Masters on this subject, the council do not ! consider themselves in any degree bound tu Task for their authority before making such Changes in the strength or management of the { Miser l\u2019'olice Toree ns may appear to them i couducive tu tue interest of the owners of ships frequenting this Port.{That the anticipations of the Council, that | there would Lo a decrense this year in the cnutber vf vexatious suits for sesmen\u2019s wiges, ! have been so far realized, there being, up tu ;

their father saw them, and chided the elder one, who suddenly jumped off, when the other was precipitated into the stream.He suon got into the rapids; and he father hurried to rescue lim ; Lut in vain\u2014the boy went over the Falls, Creat consternation and horror prevailed in every quarter, ani this distressing incident has created such an excitement as seldom arises from such a cause.But few eases of this kind have occurred at Niagara Falls, News from California.AFFAIRS ON THE PACIFIC SIDE, (From the San Francisco Standard April 15) Since the last mail our general condition may be stated as satisfectory.\"The accounts from the mining regions have been as diversified as the face of the country.While the late opportune rains have greatly benefitted the dry diggings, and enabled perhaps a larger & mount of gold to be taken out than would have been in the same time had the weather continued settled, shey have on mot of the rivers put n conplete stop to the operations, from the fluods of water which fill their banks, whilein the mountainous districts the snow has fallen lo a great depth, putting stop to digging there, and causing, in some districts, as is feared, great suffering and loss of life, even from want of provisions, Ît being near the close of the winter, the traders in the wining districts were rather Lure of stocks.not having cenerelly laid in spring supplies, The sows cane very unexpectedly, block up some of the ronds so that is was iinpossible to traverse thew with pack, and it is feared that as the routes are again opened, we shall hear of much suffering.Ou the whole, so far as regarids the vil] of gold, the accounts continue guod.Our latest advices from the mining region are that more gold is now coming down, than has come down at any period this wi tar.The accounis from the region of Scott's.Trinity and I'1 muh rivers, make it certain Hat the principal poi- tions of that region are as rich as any that hava yet been discovered.Irom San Divgo we receive cnconraging accounts ns to the yield of the mines in the neighboring country, Mu.e attention is wow being paid to the working of the quartz veius, which vield Lirge- ly, and will, nu doubt, when machinery has been brought more genera Hy into use, give immense returns of the precious metal.There is no doubt whatever thet these veins will richly working.Estecsive omlers are understood to live Leen given for machinery, and weare cognizant of large compaguies being furn.ed tu work the mines, A noticeable feacture 'n reference to mining prospects is the arrival of great numbers of Cuillans, leruviuns and Mexicans, consequent upon the repeal of the miners tax law ; and as they are amongst the best miners in the country, and spend freely what they earn, their influx will doubtle s tend toresive trade.Comm rcial affairs have Leen quite du.l since the last mail, in consequence of the large number of arrivals which we have had of vessels Inden with merchandise, but are now improving.Same interesting statistes relative to the importa tiong, &., will be found under the com:nercial head.In connection with the yield of gol f and mer- canbe affairs, the question of our currency is a very important one, Congress entirely nog lected to supply that pressing want of establish- inz a mint, and private individnals stepped in, coininz gold pieces of $5, $10, $20 apparent value, sud purporting tv be of the standard mint value.Assays show, however, that they are from one to ten per cent below that standard ; and miners who until recently have heen compelled to sell their dust for sixteen dollars an ounce, were obliged to take this inferior currency in payment.[It is calculated that there are now two millions of dollars in cireu- I tion issued by these private mints, with ne guaranteeto the community of their value, except the slauding of the houses which issue them.The evil has grown to such a magnitude, especially from the fact that one of the largest issuers would not redeem their own issues, that the bankers and werchantile community have finally resolved not to receive them as currency, but tu place them ou the same footing as gold dust, The Assay office only very partially supplies the place of a mint, and we teel here that Congress has acted very illiberally uny unjustly towards us, \u2019 Agricultural prospects are very bright.The weather since the last mail has placed the crops in a condition where failure cannot be sntici- pated.The Legislature is busily engaged in fo:- warding legislation preparatory to the adjournment, which has been fixed tor the first of the ensuing month, Indian affairs in the back districts have a more promising aspect than heretofore, and we hope soon to be able to record the fact (hat all the tribes have entered into lreaty with us.Meanwhile, there are reports that some Indinns have been committing great ravages in the neiæbourhood of Montery and St, Louis, Obis- pos but (here are strong suspicions that the thefts of stock and other property have been perpeitated by à band of desperadoes, led nn by a mulatto, distinguished for ravaging and mar- anding propensities, À force is being organized to scour that section of the country, In municipal affsirs, the politicians are very active in canvassing and seclecling their candidates for the election which is to take place very shortly.From the San Francisco Public Dalance, April 29 This month began with an unusual variety «f mailers of interest to this community.The brutal murder of an esteemed citizen at Mission Dolores, while walking with his wife, togetl= er with numerons and bold robberies, ani et- tempts at robbery, in the interior, have cteated a wide excitument amongst our more ordetly and peaceable inhabitanis, There seemed lo he less and less safety for life and property, though\u201d measures have been taken in all quar ters Lo put a prompt and speedy end to such outrages and depredations far the future by the intervention of à power which has often been, gave a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £500, in our State, stronger than the law; yet we core AE mamétactnte find that the most terrible punishments, inflicted with stern promptness, are unavailable to render life and propeity safe, Scarcely a day passes over us that accounts do not reach us of desperate crimes or adroit roguerv committed or attempted, The recent establishment of a chain gang has had an effect, the most beneficial, on the rogues of this city, An excellent device for the prevention of crime.Our Indian war gets on after a fashion.No great inclination to fight is shown on either side.\u2018The Indian will do the white man all the-injury he can, consistently with his own safety; and the white man is ready to do all he ean to whip the Indian into a proper course of behavior for the future, provided the chase is not continued too far into the mountsins, No very strenuaus efforts have been made of late by the authorities to prosecule the war, More troops have heen called for lo bring the war to a speedy termination, hut the call has been refused bv the Governor, lis very evident that unless the Indians are made to feel the necessity of keeping quiet, in order to be sale themselves, there can be very litle safely to small hands of white men who may enter too far into the mountains, either to hunt for gold or game.Accounts fiom the mines have been of a mixed character.The recent abundant rains have been of immense service to them who threw up dirt from the beds and sides of dry creeks last winter.A wieter of disconten\u2019, und, in some cases, severe privation, has giv- eu place lo a spring of active labor and pleas- ng anticipations of gain in the future, The repeal of the tax on foreign miners has had a most heneficial effect.Many of these who were driven away by its heavy exactions, eith~ er have returned, or are fast retemning.Ever addition to our mining population of industrions, working men.only brings forward greater power in developing the resources of our mineral lands, and more rapid consumption of our agricultural products and the articles of our trade and commerce.Quartz mining has more particularly attracted the attention of many for a short time past.Very interesting and authentic accounts reach us, at short intervals, of the great richness and value of veins now being prospected or worked.Very many of the specimens of the rock, with gold have been submitted fo our inspection, which surprise us by the abundance apparent.Several companies are only waiting the arrival of inachinery, already ordered, to commence operations, Auch suffering has been exporienced very lately io the more northern mines, occasioned hy the great fall of snow, and scarcity of and the difficulty of citsining supplies of provislon, Ten men are supposed to have perished in consequence, at Onion valley.News from Salmon river is not very flattering 10 the prospects of those envage:d in mining there.On Trinity river, mining is more profitable, The merchants and bankers have heen lately endeavouring to throw private coin out of the currency, and have succeeded.A bill hus been brought into the Legislature to prohibit the issues of such coin altogether.It will undoubtedly pass, Building has been prosecated, for a short time past, with a commendable activity.The southern poitions of the town, and the water futs, seem to be the favourite locations, Recent accounts from the agricuitural dis- tric's are by no means uninteresting, Enterprising mea lave settled upon previonsly unoccupied territory, aud already the most beneficial results are apparent.not only to the farmer but the consumer, We expect soon to see the agrienftural perfection in our State which has so distinguished the farmers in the Eastern States, Near the Pacific shore, within a few miles of town, and only seperated from the ocean by a narrow neck of land through which rt finds an outlet, is a heautiful lake of purest w iter, which the Alta considers to have heen pliced there especially to supply San Francisco with pure and wholesome water, as good as Croton or Coch.ituate, It discharges twenty-five millions of gallons per day, on the authority oï our cotem- porary, and the bottom is not touched by a line of seventy-five feed, Further Items by the Franklin.New York, May 19.Tlie steamer Franklin arrived at her dock at seven o\u2019cleck this morning, with four days later news from Europe, The Franklin sailed from Havre on the 6tli inst, and from Cowes (England) at four, P.M,, on the 7th.Her voyage from the latter place has therefore oc cupied eleven and a half days.She brings Loncon dates of the Tth, which were taken from Southampton by a special steamer.She brings 91 passengers, and a fair freight of general merchandize from Havre, Loxpon, Tuesday, 61h May.Some important events have taken place since the departure of the Cambria on the 3r4, but owing to the preoccupation of the public with the Exhibition, it is singular to notice the indifierence with which everythiug uncounect- ed with itis received.Our Ministers have ance wore been beaten în a discussion on the Income Tax.Intelligence has arrived of the sudden success of the Portuguese revolution ; and from Paris we have accounts of the quiet conclusion of the rejuicings® on the Aunni- versary of the Republic, THE INSURRECTION iN Porruoas \u2014Tlhe declaration of the city of Oporto in favor of Marshall Saldanha, ata moment when his cause seemed hopeless, and when he was supposed to he in flight, at once turned everything in his favor, and spread consternation among the Court party at Lisbon.Count de Thomar, the obnoxious Minister, immediately resigned, and was so distrustful of his safety even in the capital that he embarked on beard a British vessel and sailed for the Spanish port of Vigo, where he will wait the turn of events, Thus far the whole affair has proceeded without bloodshed, except that one or two officers were shot at Oporto, in endeavoring to bring their troops to obedience, an a« Saldanha i+ now in that city, and the majarity of the troops elsewhere are likely to declare for him, it is probable that all evils of the sort will be averted.The Queen has sent for the successful rehel \u2018to come to Lisnon, but he declines to do so until a Ministry shall have been formed in accordance with the principles for which he is in arms, What those principles are, nobody exactly understands, since the contest has been one hetween rival uspiranis to power rather than for any popular rights ; but as far as the political views of each party are defined, Sal- danha may be regarded as the representative of liberalism and the Count de Thomur as an absolutist, The effect of the movement will therefore be to encourage the cry of resistance to the system that at present prevails through- \"out the continent, The success ofthe Duke de Saldanha in Portugal has been complete, He has been called by the Queen Dona Maria I.to form a new ministry.This is no new business to him, far he was at the head of the cabinets of the sixteenth of December, 1847, of the twenty- ninth of March, 1848, and of the thirtieth of January, 1849.Custa-Cabral, the Count of Thomar, became president of the ministry, in the place of Saldanha, on the nineteenth of July, 1849, and held it, until driven hy the Saldanha insurrection to make his escape from the conntry.The purpose of the Saldanha parly is to sustain the Queen and the charter against the corruptions alleged to have .heen existing for some tine in the cabinet ; and the soldiers and inhabitants who have made this warlike demonstration against the late government are anxious for liberal vulers, such as hlessed the people under the Emperor Don Pedro 1V.It is quite evident that the Duke tle Saldanha has now the entite chabge of forming a new governments and he seems to be distance of two leagues from the city of Oporto, which he entered amidst demonsirations of great joy, the road was thronged with people, and the whole population welcomed his appearance in the city, \u2018The propability is that Portngal will now have a better government.\u2014 N.Y.H erald, BY TELEGRAPIIL, (Reported for the Quebec Gazette.)
