cuses of Serofulous dis- eue, where the system seemed saturated with corruption, have been Juried and cured by it.crofulous affections and disorders, which wore ag- - vated by the acrbfi.\u2019 ous contamination wstil (hey sere painfully afilicting, have been radically cured in such grout numbers in almost every section of the country, that the public acarcely néed to bo informed of its virtues or uses, Vv Serofulous poison Is one of the most destructive cnemies of our race.n, this unsoen and unfelt tenant of the organism undermines tha constitution, and invites the attack of enfecbling or fatal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its presence.Again it seems to by infec throughout the body, and then, on some favorable peeasion, rapidly develop into one or ether of ts hideous forms, either on the surface or among the vitals.In the latter, tubér- eles may bo suddenly deposited in the lungs or peurt, or tumors formed in the liver, or it shows îts presence by oruptions on the skin, or foul ulcer.ations on some part of the body.Hence the ocea.plonal use of a bottle of this Sarsaparilla is advisable, oven whon no active symptoms of diseuse appear, Porsons afilictad with the following com.aints reoerally find immediate relief, and, at length, cure, by the usc of this SARSAPARIT- LA: 8t.Anthony\u2019s Fire, Rose or Erysipelas, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Nore Eyes, Sove Eare, and other eruptions or visible forms of Scrofulous disease.Also in the more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropey, Hegrt Disease, Fits, En lepsy, Neuralgly, and the various Uleerous affections of the muscular and nervous systems.Syphilis or Vener ral and Morcurial Discases are cured by it, though a long time Is required for subduing thesc obstinate mslindies by any medicine.But long continued use of this medicine will cure the complaint.Leucorrhora or Whites, Uterine Ticerations, and Female Diseases, are commonly soon relieved and ultimately cured its porn, and invigorating effect.Minute D y ons for onch caso are found in our Almanac, sup- diel gratis, Rheumatism and Gout, whon caused by accumulutionq of extraneous matters in the blond, yield go to it, as also Liver Complatnts, Torpt tity, Congeation or Inflammation of thé Liver, ard Jaundice, when arising, as they often do, from the ranklin, poisons in the blood.\u201d This SARSAPARILEA is a great restorer for the strength and igor of the system, Those who ure Zanguid and Listless, Despondent, Sleepless, and troubled with Nervous Apprehensions or Fears, or any of the affections symptomatic of Weakuess, will ind immediate relief and convinolug evidence of its restorative power upon trial.\u2014 \u201c°° : PREPARED-BY Dr.F.C.AYER & CO., Lowell, Mass, Practical and Analytical Chemists.SOLD BY ALL DRUGGISTS

medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.Through a long series of yours, and nmong most of the races of men it has risen higher and higher in their estimation, as it has become better known.Its uniform character and power to cure the various affections of the lungs and throat, have made it known us a reliable protector against them.While adapted to milder forms of disease and to young children, it is of the same time the most effectual remedy that can be givon for incipient consumption, and the dangerous affections of the throat and lungs.As a pro vision ngainst sudden attacks of Croup, it should be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all arc sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all should be provided with this antidote for them.Although settled Consumption is thought incurable, still great numbers of cases where the disease seemed settled, have been completely cured, and the patient restored to sound health by the Cherry Pectoral.So complete is its mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that the most obstinate of them yicld.to it.When nothing else could reach them, wnder the Cherry Peo- toral they subside and disappear.Singers and Public Speakers find great pro tection from it.Asthma is always relieved and often wholly cured by it.Bronchitis 13 generally cured by tuking the Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses, For na Congh and Cold, no better remedy can Le had.Take small doses three times a day and put the feet in warm water at night, until the disease is broken up.For Influenza, when it affects the throat or lungs, take tho same course.For Whooping Cough, give small doses three or four times a day.For Croup, give large and frequent doses until the disease is overcome.No family should be without the Cherry Peoto- ral on hand to protect them, in case of attack, from the above complaints.Its timely use often spares the patient A great amount of suffering and risk, which he would incur by waiting until he could get other aid.Parents, keep it in your houses for the exigencies that arise, Lives dear to you may bo saved by it.So generally are its virtues known, that we noed not publish certificates of them here, or do more than assure the publie that the best qualities it ever possessed are strictly maintained.Prepared by DR.J.C.AYER & Co., Practical and Analytical Chemists, Lowell, Mass., and sold all round the world.Ayer\u2019s Cathartic Pills, For all the purposes of a Laxative Medicine.Perhaps no one medicine is so

RENEE PURELY VEGETABLE.HE need of a safe and perfectly reliable purgative medicine has long been felt by the public; and il 18 a source of greal salis- faction to us that we can, with confidence, recommend our BrisToL\u2019s SuGAR-COATED PILLS as combining all the essentials of a sale, thorough, and agreeable Family Catbarlic.They are prepared from the very finest quality of medicinal roots, herbs, and plants; the active principles or parts that contain the medicinal value being chemically separated from the inert and useless fibrous portions that contain no virtue whatever.Among those medicinal agents we may name PODOPHYLLIN, which has been proved to possess a most wonderful power over the Liver, and all the dilious secretions.This, in combination with LEPTANDRIN, and other highly valuable vegetable extracts and drugs, constilutes a purgative Pill that is greatly superiorio any medicine of the kind heretotore oflered to the public.Bristol\u2019s Vegetable Sugar-Coated Pills will be found a safe and speedy remedy in all such cases as Piles, Headache, Jaun dice, Bad Breath, Fou] Stomach, Loss of Ap- otite, Liver Complaint, Habitual Costiveness, yspepsia or [ndigestion, Heartburn or Flatu- lenoy, Dropsy of Limbs or Body, Female Irregolarities, and all diseases of the Stomach, Liver, Bowels, and Kidneys.In diseases which have their origin in the blood, Bristol\u2019s Sarsaparilia, that best of blood purifiers, should be used with the Pills; the (wo medicines being prepared expressly toact in harmony together.When this is done fanhiully, we have no hesitation in saying that great relief, and in most cases a cure, can be guaranteed when the patient is not already beyond human help.| or general directions and lable of doses, see the wrapper around each phial.For sale in the Establishments of Messrs.W.E.Brunet, druggist, J.E.Burke, druggist;

QUEBEC, MONDAY, NOV.22sn, 1869.HON.MR.AIKENS.Last autumn, when the Hon.Mr.MeDou- gall was anthorized by the Premier of the Dominion Government to offer a portfolio to the Hon.Mr.Aikens, we took opportunity to express our unfeigned satistuetion at the prospect of that gentleman\u2019s accession to office, and freely gave our Impressions ns to his good abilities and high character ; so that, now, when he has actually been sworn in, we need only sax aur views are in no wise changed, and that we regard his appointment as about thie best which could have beon made, We shall not disguise the opinion that the large religions communion of which he is a conscientious member\u2014the Wesleyan Methodist body\u2014 have a right to be represented in the Cabinet.We did not put that argument forward when the negociations were first initiated, ns the mere fact of his belonging to that Chureh would not of itself have been conclusive ; but other considerutions demanded by le original conditions of the coalition being met, it is a further and strong argument for his admission.As now completed, we verily believe the conntry never had so able and strong a ministry, and if under its guidance the country does not go on and prosper, the failure will be matter for surprise.We rather regret, however, that the office of Secretary ol State should have been assigned to Mr.Aikens, ns we think it would have suited better the oun.Mr.Durkin, with his high attainments ; while that of Minister of Agriculture, entrusted to the latter, would have found in Me.Aikens a good sound practical and keen-eyed overseer.How- cver, we must suppose the disposition was the best that could Le made at the time, and perhaps by and by some changes mn he effected which will place him in a posi: tion where his good working talents will have more play.We are glad to find that even the adversaries of the Government adit the wisdom of this appointment, regretting only that so honest a man should have consented to take office.We congra- ulate the reasonable reformers of Ontario upon the arrangement, since it gives them so reliable a representative at the Council es \u2014 - pm nssurance doubly sare, the Minister of Justice went to the trouble of submitting the question to the highest legal talent in |; amd they without hesitation pronounced the || scetion perfectly within the meaning of the Constitutional Act\u2014the Union or British American Act, as itis called.Tu the face ' the country with his new lights.Province.The men who turn the opposition crank in Ontario, know well that it is always a popular thing to represent that Province as paying more largely into the public chest than any other, and, perhaps, of reasoning, since the unit in Ontario wishes.If he is extravagant in the cou- sumption of imported and dutiable articles, he, of course, pays in proportion, but so does every other extravagant wau and family all through the Dominion.The thing is perfectly optional, however, and is therefore no basis for nu argument.But it will be always flattering to the western folks to be told that they contribute more to the revenue than others, and whether true or not, they are but too likely to be- wischief, however, is, that when it comes to paying out the money, if it is not done precisely in accordance with the views of gentlemen like Mr.Blake\u2014and how canit be ?\u2014they may turn round and say, \u201c there is vour hard-earved cash going to pamper the favorites of a corrupt government, or to quiet the murmurs of a horde of semi- vebellious Bluenoses,\u201d &c., &e.Mr, Blake no doubt imagined that the introduction of his resolution in the Legislature of Ontario, condemnatory of the superior powers in connection with the additional subsidy to Nova Scotian, would be a sort of trump card, and that few of the members would dare vote against it, Besides, as the Hon.E.B.Wood, Treasurer of the Province, took sides with Blake in the Parliament at Ottawa lust winter, he probably expeet- ed to effect a disruption, and we admit that as a piece of stratagem\u2014leaving honesty and patriotism out of tke account \u2014it was a clever dodge enongh.But we submit, that if the Legislature of Ontario has the rizht to censure and seek to reverse the legislation of the central parliament, of course every other Province has the same right, and if it may be done with regard to this thing, it may be done with regard to many others ; so that, if allowed, we may expect that instead of Confederation leading to peace and prosperity, it will beget and perpetuate difficulties more obstinate than any in our past historical record.Furthermore, if the Legislature of Ontario may review and appeal from the Legislature of the Dominion, then we contend that every County Council in Ontario may with equal propriety review and appeal from tliat of Ontario.And then the Township Couucils may review and appeal from the action of the County Councils, so that thers will be a beautiful state of things Board of the Dominion.PRETENTIOUS PRAGMATISM, Our readers will no donbt remember, that Mr.Edward Blake, who represents South Bruce in the Legislature of Outario, and who has also à seat in the Dominion Parliament, took ground at the last session of the latter body against the increased subsidy proposed to be granted to Nova Scotia, In doing so then and there, he was in the exercise of his undoubted right \u2014 gn son droit,\u201d as our French friends say,\u2014and, presuming that lie was perfectly sincere, deserved credit for his fearless enanciation of opinions not coincided in by the great legal luminaries of that dis tinguished assembly.Mr.Blake is a lawyer of recognized ability, but seems to be almost too conscious of it, and, more over, las apparently a constant itching to exhibit his powers.It is almost enough that any one of the other eminent men in Parliament should propound an important principle of law to bring him out either a: objector or critic.Now, in the matter of the increased allowance to the Province already tamed, it is at least worth while considering that one of the chief ageuts in arranging the matter was the Hon John Rose, Minister of Finance, who, 85 a lawyer, may probably, without disparagement to Mr.Blake, be placed on the same level as, if not one step or two higher than him.Compared with Mr.Rose, Mr.Blake is yet a young man, and might, perhaps, sit at the feet of that experienced, pains-taking, long-headed, and successful practitioner and statesman with advantage.Mr.Rose\u2019s talents and judgment Liave been recognized for many years in this country, and the very important commissions he lias been entrusted with on behalf of great English concerns, show how he is regarded at home.The fact, then, that such a man was the Agent of the Domiuion in arranging the difficulty with Nova Scotia is, d priori, a very strong argument for the constitutionality of the course pursued.Bat Mr.Rose is, moreover, known as onc of the most conscientious men living, and as he wonld not accept for himself any pecuniary.consideration to which he was not fairly and honorably entitled, so we are morally certain he would be no party to squandering the fonds of the Confederated Provinces under any pretence, however plansible.We have, then, first, the guarantee of the Hon, Mr.Rose\u2019s eminent abilities and sound judgment, and secondly, that of his stern - and uncompromising conscientiousness, for the correctness of the transaction under review.But before we proceed to the adduction of other reasons, it is proper we should say that Mr.Blake, having been defeated in the House of Commons, has brought up the sabject in the Legislature of Ontario, and asks that body to vote a resolution wlicreon to base an address to the Queen, praying Her Majesty to disal low the action of the Parliament of the Dominion, nud to pronounce the additional payment to Nova Scotia illegal I | Now, o resume, the motion of Mr.Blake in the Dominion Legislature was canvassed by itation to add, by several largely his sepgriors in his own profession\u2014such, for instance, ns the Premier of the Government, Sit J.A.MeDonald ; the Premier of Ontario, the Hen John Sandfield MeDon- aid ; Sir Geo.E.Cartier, the Hon.Jobn Hillyard Caweron, and others of the same ull round.In our simple and legally uneducated apprehension, Mr.Blake seems to be making himself a little ridiculous, bat perhaps he does not care so long as he can manufacture a little popularity, which may stand him in some stead hereafter.If this | be his aim, why he will go-ahead, and when Her Mojesty\u2019s Secretary of Stale for the Colonies tells him the question was settled months ago\u2014that is, supposing it be referred to ler Majesty, which is not at all probable\u2014le may introduce a resolution in the next Session of the Assembly in Toronto, snubbing the noble Earl.It will be only the logical sequence to his present course.\u2014 THE ITALIAN ARMY.It is said that the falling off in the character and efficiency of the Italian army of late years is most noticenble and melancholy.Though immense sums, indeed, far more than the financial condition of the couutry can at all admit of are expendel upon the military establishment, the condition of the army gets worse and worse every day.Though there are many clever and well informed soldiers in the ranks, the vast majority are decidedly below the average in intelligence, and fatally wanting in discipline.An English officer writing from Verona says of them :\u2014\u2018 They are held badly in hand by their officers, the slightest cffort seems to throw them into disorder, and the number of stragglers is extraordinary.\u201d The army of Piedmont used to be cited as à model of what a military body should be, but since it has become that of united Italy, under a monarchy, it has degenerated until it muet be almost uscless in actual warfare, \u2014\u2014 RUSSIA AND THE SUEZ CANAL.The first foreign company to send steamers to Port Said was the Russian Steam Navigu- tion and Commercial Company, with headquarters at Odessa.Its vessels have touched at Port Said since 1866, and at the beginning of the present year, when the advanced state of the works of the canal indicated the approaching connection of the Mediterranean and Red Seas, the company decided upon appointing one of its officers to collect detailed information où the character and quantity of goods exchangeable between Russia and tiie extreme East.As soon as the canal is open, the company will organize a direct line of steamers between the ports of the Black Sea and of the Sea of Azoff and the extreme East, with the object of facilitating Lhe transport of colonial products into Russia, and of allowing Russian merchants to despatch their merchandise to India by a shorter and cheaper route than that actually followed.BURNING OF A-THEATRE.On Monday night last, during a fencing scene at the Gaiety Theatre in Milwankee, one of the rapiers struck a kerosine oil lamp, cauring it to explode and set fire to the scenery, The fire was quickly communicated to the auditorium, and ina few seconds the whole building wus wrapped in flames.Many in the audience escaped by jumping out of the second story windows, but two bodies were recovered from the reins burned beyond recognition, who were afterwarde discovered to be Willie Brewer, à printer boy in the News office, and \u2018a clerk named Brown.Some twenty or thirty were clues, ne well as by a large majority who agre :d to reject the cavil, Put, to make more or less severely burned,and it is spopeoted that cthers perished in the flames whoke bodies

Attorney of the French Legation asserts that foreigners can bring suit against the French Emperor or Treasury, if security be given for the cost of the trial, &e.Thia, it is mgued, gives Dauphin the

caused the greatest consternation and fear amongst the passengers while it lasted.The deck in front of the Indies\u2019 cabin door was] covered with water several inches deep and a portion of the baggage room was carried away by a heavy sea which struek that part of the steamer.From this accident nearly all the baggage of the passengers, araongst whom were several on their way to England,\u2014became thoroughly soaked with walter, causing great inconvenience.Another sex broke over the deck, charging with all its power against the bar- door, which was too weak to resist, and here again general havoc and confusion followed.Brandies and soda were floating, about dashed to and fro at the mercy of the waves, without being able to find a consumer.The captain, we learn, was equal to the emergency.He mustered a number of the deck passengers with whose assistance the valuable beverages were saved.ARMORIAL BEARINGS.In an extra of the Canada Gazette, lately issued at Ottawa,

respecting Father McMahon's statement coh cerning his treatment while in the Kingston Penitentiary.We make the following extracts :\u2014 .« Now, the actual facts of Futhier McMahon's case are, that frum the hour be entered the prison until he was liberated, he never did one duy'e labor.He wus eaved from contact with the convict mass by being kindly sent by the Warden, at once to the Catholic Chapel, where his whole duty wis simply to read lis breviary, or any book from the library \u2014 which was under hia hands.During my numerous virits I never saw him engaged at labor of any kind.Once I saw Lim with a broom in hand, but whether he had been using it, or tended to use it, I could not say.«Hud Father McMahon but an orlinary share of gratitude, he would have abstained from stating such baseless calumnies, sensible that he was the only prisoner in that vast multitude of those able to work, who was exempt from labour of some kind or other.# The charges made against the Penitentiary and its conductors are simply the fancies of Father McMahon's heated imagination, and to undertake to refute them would be simply absurd.He is but speaking fur a purpose, and he knows the subject that will take best with his auditory.Has stories of the food are untruths in fact.For several months the meat used daily by the convicts has cost ten dollars per hundred pounds, which will give some idea of its quality, anid the flour is of an officers of the prison.MARITIME ITEMS, vessels in the port of Montreal ou Friday last.The steamship St.David, Captain Soolt, from last.the Lachine Rapids, got

AFFAIR\u2014A TRUE STATEMENT.\u201cThe St.Paul Press of the 11th November thus strips this affair of the portentous coloring s0 sensationally affixed to it: \u2014 \u201cWe learn from Mr.Sandford, who arrived yesterday from Fort Garry, that the reports received here greatly exaggerated the threat ened movement of the half-breeds to prevent the entrance of Governor McDougall, and that in the end it dwindled down to a very farcical demonstration indeed, A posse of about a hundred halt-breeds started for the frontier to carry out their purpose of intercepting the new Governor, but the party was

riding a mule with his grandfather, a fine patriarchal old fellow.The complexion of these people was something new\u2014something between olive and cherry, and there was a gentility and refinement upon their features hardly surpassed by the best Greek type.Who they were, where they were going, I could nut make out, but I learnt afterwards that such people, remnants ofthe true children of the Caucasus, are met on the roals at times, though never acen in towns or villages.So we got to Tiflis, and I parted from my friends, who would not come and dine, and spent half a day in cleaning my portmanteau and bag contents.Everything was black with dust, and sn Lad was the jolting that even every pin out of ny pin cushion was tilted out! Tiflis is situated in an amphitheatre of absolutely barren hills, and is very curious indeed.It has a very Persian air about it.The Bazanr\u2014the Persians sitting in their windows selling fruit and silks and howling out their bargains, camels and buffaloes, mules carrying water in skins, oxen lying in the river half asleep, the mud houses running up the hill which you ¢limb from roof to roof, the Georgian faces, mostly overdone with too audacious features, but still with wonderful eyes, and the women wearing enormous white veils, and bands across their foreheads\u2014all this is new.The town, too, is very gay, with its gardens, theatre, and boulevards, which the Persians are paving; and they squat even at that work.There is a good hotel, kept by a Frenchiman ; and | found an English engineer in it, who is making get over lhe fever he caught some time\u201cback.After a day or two with some Russian friends and the one English family here, I persuaded the engineer to come for a run to Ecrivan and i the Arabs, and\u2019 away we go, with our big pie, and a donkey run over.Fifty miles away plain\u2014father and son.; one a very good iden of Persian sceuvery, and e ) For a long way you travel over broad plains bounded by mountaing, and then the country d |enormous lake, 20 miles long, and 7,000ft.or 8,00/t.above the ses.pass, going by night, and with the aid of terri- robbers, nor by the reality of their existence, our four, they only frightened our driver and sensation stuffing one\u2019s notes and watch into one's socks for fear of these brutes, especially as murder frequently goes hand-in-hand with theft by them.Across the plains you meet with firings of camels, sometimes nearly a mile ong.horses glare horribly at night, and eagles and jackals \u2018are gathered together over them, d ]and pass olose to your carriage.All things go on as after the first regeneration under the shadow of Ararat.man at his threshing-floor, and guides his oxen treading out the corn; still is the woman at after flax on the houge-top.The \u2018 garden ot cucumbers\u2019 is notaltered ; the beacon is still on the hills from which the tribes descend at this time of the year into the plains, as we happened to see.But Ararat sees one thing now he never dreamt to see ; the Anglo-Indian telegraph wires run at his feet.The people seem to have no idea of improvement themselves.The Persian is as apathetic asa stone; the Arinenian is half-brother to the Jew ; and the Tartar the most downright flend in existence.It 18 Tartars who usually drive the post carts, and where two pass or meet neither attempts Lo get out of the way, but the two drivers screech at one another, and then lay out at each other's heads furiously.The old- is there, and it seems a wonder it does not stride about the world again.My warfare with the Russians ended at Tiflis, but it was a fearful onset that last of the officials.For four hours - L'had to go from the Governorto his secretary, from the secretary, to the palice; from one officer of the police to another, all over the town\u2014and for what?To get an order for post- horses!

The English Consul at Poti told me I was the first- English traveller he had seen fot two years, A Frenchman, an engineer employed on the line, spoke as badly of his cousitrymen, and a Russian lady
