present moment a very interesting case going forward.Ismail Pasha (kulaksis Oglou), cidevant governor of our island, has been brought to trial, and it is to be hoped that a signal example will be made of him.A brief sketch of his career may be interesting as an item of contemporary history.Since the time of Sultan Mahmoud; the.pasha has been a kind of derebeg of the place\u201d\u201d Ismail, in.addition to- having inherited a large fortune, had much increased it by the gross abuses he practised during bis government: His.father's forturie had eed left.equally between him: féet upon- it.ER Price ONE HALF-PENNY.I] \u2014 and his bother, but Ismail wanting to have it all, used the most unscrupulous means to obtain his brother\u2019s portion.The brother had a son ard daughter.Ismail succeeded in obtaining the hand of the latter for his son ; and it is asserted that, after some time, with a demoniacal spirit, he actually excited his nephew to commit parricide.By the most artful means this crime was accomplished.The wretched youth, as soon as the deed was_done, was arrested, brought up before the authorities, tried, and sentenced.Ismail immediately sent to the capital to obtain the necessary firman, and the miserable wretch was in due course executed.There still remained the daughter, who had been married to his son.To get rid of ber, he did not attempt to counsel his son 1g commit another murder, but coolly advised, or rather compelled him, to renounce her altogether.For two years the poor girl remained immured under the closest surveillance, and, in the interim, her fortune was of course entirely absorbed by her hushand, and herself was left without anything, being merely kept as a close prisoner.After remaining in this state for upwards of two years, Arif Effendi, happening to visit Mytilene, heard something about the unfortunate female, On his return to the capital, he mentioned the matter in influential quarters, and Emin Bey was despatched with full powers to prosecute an inquiry.On bis arrival, he ascertained that the story was true; he obtained the immediate liberation of the girl, and, by virtue of the powers with which he was invested, superceded the Governor, previously to ulterior proceedings.Ismail finding matters going against him, offered to restore the girl's fortune, but her reply to this overture was, that she would not be satisfied until she had perfect satisfaction for her father\u2019s murder and brother\u2019s execution.Ismail, it is said, has endeavoured to bribe Emin Bey, and has also addressed some tangible arguments to the capital to see what can be done at head-quarters.In the meantime, the daughter of the murdered man arrived at Constantinople, and has already spoken with the Sultan.Emin Bey, although appointed Minister of Justice, declares his intention of remaining at Mytilene till he finishes this affair.\u2014 English Paper.CrIME AND CRINOLINE.\u2014An unusually tall woman, of the name of Chery, was on Saturday week tried by the Correctional Police of Paris for robberies committed in a singular fashion.Ope afternoon, in November last, she went to a hotel in the neighbourhood of a railway station, and representing that she had just arrived in Paris, took a room and ordered dinner.After her repast, she went away, as she said, to post a letter, but never returned, and it turned out that she had carried off a sheet, a blanket, a clock, a knife with a silver handle, and two napkins.As she had nothing in her hands she must have secreted the first three articles in her crinoline, which was of gigantic dimensions.From not fewer than seven other hotels or lodging-houses she stole clocks, blankets, bonnets, hats, silk dresses, and various other articles, and, in spite of their bulk and weight, carried them off unpercéived.At last she was arrested.The tribunal, learning that she had previously been condemned, sentenced her to five years\u2019 imprisonmen*, and five years\u2019 survillance of the police.Tue Encuisa RoMANISTS AND THE Pore.\u2014The Saturday Review, after stating that Mr.Pope Hennessy, M.P., has arrived in Rome as the bearer of papers conveying a pledge on the part of the Roman Catholics of the United Kingdom to pay a yearly tribute of one million Roman dollars to the Po proceeds to say that Cardinal Wiseman, on the other hand, has written an epistle to the Pontiff, expressing his grief that, in spite of the most zealous efforts to exact contributions, he has met with very imperfect success.\u2018The Cardinal states that he has received everywhere plentiful assurances of readiness to contribute towards the support of the Pope\u2019s spiritual dignity, but strong expressions of indisposition to- expend money upon armaments for the political enthralment of his subjects.A conscientious sense of\u201d duty has accordingly impelled Cardinal Wiseman fo represent to the Pope, that the Catholics in this kingdom cannot be brought to support him in his struggle for temperal power, in the manuer that might have been hoped ; that the majority have been unfortunately infected with the peculiar political notions current in this country, and that he finds himself bound respectfully to tender to the Pope the melancholy advice that bis interests, in the sad condition of affairs, would be best consulted by coming to an understanding with Victor Emmanuel.\u201d DEsTITUTION IN LonpoN.\u2014For the last 40 years there has not been anything like the destitution and misery that exists in the metropolis at the present time.It is estimated that there cannot be less than 50,000 laborers out of employment, and who, with their wives and families, are almost starving.Naroreon's Tous AT St.HELENA.\u2014Captain Mas- selin and two soldiers of the 3rd Regiment of French Engineers, have been employed in repairing the tomb of Napoleon at St.Helena, by direction of the French authorities, and with the permission of the English Government.The tomb has been completely restored to the condition in which it was at the period of the deposed Emperor's interment; and Longwood, the house in which he died, has been\u2019 put into astate of substantial repair.Hearing PASSENGER CARS.\u2014A perfectly success- fui trial of a new invention for heating railway.car- riges with hot tubes has been.made between Paris and

Canadian, from Peel, had a watch stolen from him in a house kept by Emilie Duval, and deserved to lose it.It was, however, recovered by the police.\u2014 The St.Catharine's Post has a horrible account of a fatal scuffle at St.Davids, between a tavern-keeper and a licensed quart grocery-keeper.The first had refused more liquor to a woman already partially intoxicated.The latter supplied her, illegally, and she came back drunk to stay at the tavern for the night.The tavern-keeper could not thurst her out in a cold night, when she would be almost certain to perish, but remonstrated in the morning, in vigorous, terms, with the keeper of the grocery, whose father, a violent man, interfered, and, after a scuffle, killed the tavern-keeper with a blow of a sleigh-stake.The murderer, whose name is Farrel, was afterwards arrested on the American side.\u2014 The American Bible Union, which is virtually a gecession from the American Bible Society, on the question of translating the word

interesting episodes in Canadian history terminated, 98 our readers are aware, in Toronto on Saturday last.The judgments then delivered by Chief Justice Draper and Judges Richards and Haggarty, have since been received and perused with interest.They all substantially agree that the commitment of Anderson by Esquire Matthews was defective in form, and, therefore, void; plainly, however, implying that had it been formal, no Court had any right to interfere, and that the question of giving up the individual so committed, was referred by the law wholly and solely to the Executive Government.Chief-Justice Draper said that Courts of Law have no jurisdiction over crimes committed in foreign lands, farther than is given to them by Act of Parliament.That the Act in this case makes a Magistrate, or a Judge in bis individual capacity, the only tribunal to decide whether a charge within the scope of the treaty has been proved, and if he affirms that it has, his warrant, in proper form, will legally detain the individual accused until the Executive give him up or set him free.The Courts have nothing to do with the question, except to see that the Magistrate's warrant is in proper form.In this case it was defective in two particulars, for though it might be held to mean the same thing that the Statute required, yet in all such cases nothing was to be inferred ; the words of the Statute must be used.Chief- Justice Draper said he was indebted for the strongest precedent in favor of Anderson, to Chief-Justice Robinson, who had found it after the case was decided in the Queen's Bench, upon a point which had not been raised at all at that time.He further added, tbat he was happy the question of whether or not Anderson could be charged with murder, did not come before him.He would be loath, on the one hand, to proclaim that any one of four millions of slaves might take the life cf his master, in order to escape to Canada, where he would find protection ; or, on the other, that a slave striking even to the death, should be given up.All the judges seemed to think that the Law of Canada giving effect to the Extradition Treaty, should be amended, which will be an obvious way of extricating all parties from blame.The following is a description of the close of the proceedings :\u2014 Mr.Sheriff Jarvis then stepped up to Anderson and announced to him that he was free! Anderson rose from his seat smiling, and turning to the bench as he left the Court said, ¢ Thank you gentlemen\u2014thank your lordships.\u201d He was then conducted through the Judges\u2019 room into the centre of the hall.On reaching the front of the building he was warmly received by the large crowd who had filled the Court, and congratulated on his discharge.A number of clergymen and others grasped him warmly by the hand, and three cheers were given for the \u2018 British Government,\u201d led by an enthusiastic colored man.A sleigh was procured at the head of York Street, and into this Anderson stepped, accompanied by Alderman Nasmith and others.The party drove to several places in the city, and in the evening a comfortable boarding house was found for Anderson.The news that he was free was soon known throughout the city, and every one appeared to feel glad that the poor fugitive had escaped, even by a technicality, the vengeance of the slave owners of the South.Tre Muyicirar Erections.\u2014The voting for Mayor and Councillors commenced this morning.Respecting the ward elections we earnestly counsel all law-abiding citizens, and especially temperance men, to record their votes only for the gentlemen who pledge themselves 10 support the law against selling liquors on the Sabbath.The liquor dealers have already, we believe, banded together to get the jaw repealed, and for this reason a candidate for civic honors should be willing to pledge himself to maintain, or, if need be, bel to make more stringent, the present law.If a candidate is unwilling to give this pledge, it is clear that he is either opposed to the law, or afraid of the liquor venders.We trust that no such doubtful candidates will be returned.We cannot understand why a man should be afraid to state publicly the side he intends to take on certain public questions, unless it be that he fears to lose the votes of tavern keepers.If so, he will be as likely to consider their interests in the council as he may now be anxious for their votes.It is singular that the candidates who will not pledge themselves are reported to have the confidence of the tavern keepers, a pretty clear indication that such candidates should not have the confidence and votes of those voters who desire to see the Sabbath regarded, and intemperance repressed in our city.The contest for the Mayoralty is between the French Canadians and Irish, and we sincerely hope that the scenes on the day of nomination will not be repeated during the polling days.Every man has a right to vote for the candidate of his choice, and we trust that there will be no disposition on the part of any one to interfere with others in the way of coercion and violence.\u2019 (To the Editor of the Montreal Witness.) Srr,\u2014 À letter from a friend of Mr.Waugh's, purporting to be a reply to my former communications, pappears in this morning's Commercial Advertiser.The gentleman who pens it, seems to feel his position somewhat uncomfortable as a supporter of the tavern- keepers\u2019 candidate, and writes apparently quite as much to make things a little more pleasant for himself, as to help on Mr.Waugh.His line of defence may be briefly stated thus:\u2014*I am anxious to conserve the Sunday Liquor Law,\u201d but Mr.Waligh \u201cis a strictly temperate man,\u201d moreover he \u2018is a man of means, who can devote time to the public,\u201d therefore the electors will doubtless © go along in supporting Mr.Waugh, with, yours, &c., Dorchester® Street.\u201d\u2014 This reply is so totally illogical and irrevelant, that it scarcely needs notice.I never asserted or implied that Mr.Waugh was not all that his most ardent admirers fancied Lim to be.The sole ground or which I ob.jeoted to him, was that he comes forward on the k tavern-keeping interest, \u2014that if returned, the saloon- keepers will command another vote in the Council, which will certainly be used in attempting to defeat the Sunday Liquor Law.This position is not disputed either by Mr.Waugh or his friend, so that the electors must choose between one man bound down by a clique, or another who comes forward free from outside influence, and pledges himself, honestly and frankly, to support the law in question.As to the insinuation that I am acting in concert with Mr.Bowie in this matter, I repeat emphatically, that neither directly nor indirectly, have I ever had any communication with him, and, if he were to try for a week, I don't think Mr.Bowie could find out who is the writer of these lines.Permit me, in conclusion, to ask what the gentlemen who signed Mr.Bowie's requisition are doing ?I see Mr.Waugh\u2019s name on placards in the streets, on bills handed from door to door, and on cards freely circulated at the City Hall, but T don\u2019t see any signs of work on the other side.That's not the way to win.Truly yours, February 21.BLEURY STREET.THE APPROACHING CIVIC ELECTIONS AND THE SUNDAY PROHIBITORY LIQUOR LAW.(To the Editor of the Witness.) Sir,\u2014It is very gratifying to observe the manly and fearless avowal of Mr.Bowie, that he is opposed to the abrogation of the By-Law prohibiting the opening on Sunday of those pestilential dens known as Saloons, Bar-Rooms and Taverns; but which would be more aptly designated Sinks of Perdition.I sincerely hope the question will be made a solemn test at the approaching Elections of a man\u2019s fitness to hold office as one of the City Rulers, and, be he who he may, that no supporter of Sabbath tippling shall receive the vote of any citizen laying claim to common decency.The By-Law in question has already done wonders, and will yet show its beneficial effects if stoutly maintained against all presumptuous opposition.Let any person go along our principal streets on a Sunday, and note the marked change for the better.It seems to me, no greater anomaly ever existed than that a Hotel or Tavern keeper, should dare to exercise his odious trade on the Lord's Day in defiance of social as well as religious duty.Would any shoemaker or carpenter for instance, or other men with a respectable and honorable trade, be allowed to work with his tools openly and undisturbedly on Sunday?Would he be allowed to throw open his shop door and serve customers as on a week day ?I say, the police would soon put a stop to that style of business.Then why should dealers in death, and retailers of poison be tolerated for one moment to prostitute the sanctity of the Sabbath, and swindle the hard earnings out of many a poor besotted creature's pocket ?The cure is in the hands of the citizens.Let them be true to themselves, and vote for no dealer in intoxicating drink, much less for an open and notorious dese- crator of the Sabbath Day.I am, gir, your obedient servant, Stanp Fem.\u2014 The Syracuse Journal says the telegraphic wires were subjected to singular electrical influences during the severe storm on Thursday week.At times it was impossible to keep up communication between the various stations.The wires were surcharged with atmospheric electricity, which appeared to move over the wires in waves.These would cause the suspension of all communication for periods varying from one to five or six minutes, during each of which there would occur a series of sharp, quick reports at the relays, emitting from the disconnected wires streams of fire an inch or more in length.The operators, when off their guard, received frequent and sometimes severe \u2018\u2018 shocks of lightning.\u201d COMMERCIAL REVIEW.MoNTREAL, Friday, Feb.22, 1861.Morning clear and cold ;

Greens of low grades are somewhat higher.All Greens are firmer, and will likely continue so for sume time to come.The price for lowest sweet Young Hy- son is up to 42c.in New York city, equal to 49c in Montreal ; and in Twankays nothing sweet is to be found there under 40 to 42¢., equal to 4'7c.to 49c.here.Only one cargo has yet arrived, and no others are expected for at least two months, Sugars are dull and depressed ;

two minds,\u201d She was.almost in the same moment, and somefimés to hh'extreme degree, generous and exacting, metk and imperious, affce- tionate and vindictive, melted into tears and transported with rage.For the ten years next following, she was able partially to superintend the affairs of the household, which consisted of herself, an unmarried brother and a sister.The nervous manifestations did not amount to more than slight spasms, or convulsive sobbings.Her face constantly wore its expression of great suffering; her ordinary manner was one of forced cheerfulness ; her movements were slow and faltering ; her infirmities of temper and disposition became less and less disguised.These were met by her friends with the utmost charity, yet now in a manner not to encourage, if it did not repress their manifestation.From this time she grew more gloomy and despondent, and her faultiness of temper became gradually more excessive.She was almost never cheerful, was very hypochondriacal, lost interest in household matters, was more easily excited to passion, and more difficult to appease and control.A marked step in the progress of this change was observed about a year previously to her admission to the asylum.This is alluded to in a note from her brother as follows : \u201c A brother, older than myself, who has had the family in charge since\u2019 our father\u2019s death, had made arrangements to marry, and while my two sisters were visiting with me, took his wife to his own home, apart from where the three had lived together for many years.This arrangement involved a decided change, which could not fail to have some effect; but what most disturbed the patient was, that all should have been done without her knowledge or advice.From the hour in which she read our brother\u2019s letter, she became implacable, except at intervals of short duration.\u201d So entirely, however, was the change a mere intensification of the mental infirmities, developed by the acute aitack of bysteria, fifteen years previous, that she was not deemed insane until about a month before she was brought for treatment.\u201cI consider her now,\u201d writes the brother, \u201c in the same state in which she has been for many years ; only that it has changed from an occasional to a continued matter,\u2019 During the month referred to, her excitement was almost constant.She passed many successive nights without sleep, and almost wholly abstained from food.Her feebleness and bodily ailments were forgotten.She was active in her movements, and seemed to have extraordinary powers of effort and endurance.Her face lost its appealing look of pain and dejection, and expressed violent passion and imperions will.It was not her brother only who had wronged her, but every one had turned against her.No explanations, no persuading, rebuking or other moral argument availed anything.There was no incoherence in her language, and there were no positive delusions ; but her suspicions and beliefs were as extravagant as her fury and vindictiveness were excessive.We have already noted the appearance of the patient at her admission to the asylum.The sudden change, from all the objects of her morbid passion, to an unwonted association with strangers and insane persons, and the strict discipline under which she came, repressed the manifestations at once, and, after a few days of intense agitation, beneath an appearance of sullenness and dejection, the paroxysm.seemed to be at an end.NEWSPAPER POWER.(From the Herald of Gospel Liberty.) One can hardly comprehend the immense power of newspapers over the public mind.The great mass of the people get their politios and religion \u2014 their peculiar passions and prejudices from the newspaper.They mould the mind and give it character much as the food which one eats: daily gives.to the body.Some food makes fat ; another kind makes bone; another muscle; another stimulates; one kind tends to nervous activity ; and another to sluggishness.The physical man is, other things being equal, what his food makes him.It is so in mental and moral matters.What the mind and heart feed upon gives them character for good or ill.Books have power; and yet few people read them largely.They are expensive, and the poor purchase but few of them.They are long-wind- ed, and in our fast age, few have the time and patience to read them unless every sentence holds a galvanic battery, and gives a signal shock, High wrought tales often do this.Hence the extensive market for \u2018 The Lamplighter ;\u2019 ¢ Uncle Tom ;\u2019 \u2018Dred ;\u2019 ¢ The Minister's Wooing; and a few kindred works, ' But the great mass of books are kept for show, and not for reading.A book- less house is a house of ninnies, while one with a fair sized library holds a literary family.So many people buy.books and arrange them not for the reading, but for the name.of the thing.But everybody reads newspapers.They are cheap.They are peddled- out by the pennys- worth, They meet you in the street at every turn, in the rail-car, in every store and in every house.Each gives you the latest news of the for a week, is so far behind the that he is nowhere in his knowledge of passing events.Cheap and new just suits.our modern.Athenians, who spend their timemostly in hearing or telling some new thing, world.A man who does not read a newspaper | accommodating Kentuckian has made a speech in the Senate of three hours, and the newspaper with its hydraulic press, packs the whole soul of the talk into three or five minutes space, and thus becomes a greater labor-saving machine than the cotton gin, which is dissolving the Union at such a rapid rate.One great beauty of the newspaper is its variety.You can lay it down at three minute\u2019s notice and not lose the sense.But we have more than\u2019 a budget of news in a newspaper.1 Leading articles from editors and correspondents manufacture ideas for our readers, and thus educate them.Perhaps it would not be saying too much to say that a certain New York paper preached the funeral sermon of the Whig.party and brought the Republican party into being.It entered some two hundred thousand families every week and breathed out its opinions until the people embraced them.The leading men at the South wanted to dissolve the Union, they used newspaper power.They stopped the newspapers which would not contribute to the work, and circulated those which would, until secession was reached by the moulding of the Southern mind.When sects want to proselyte, they use newspaper power and tempt men to subscribe by offering large and cheap papers.BRITAIN'S NEW FOE.(From the Daily Telegraph.) It may surprise the public to know that there is a region in the New World in which British subjects have been worse treated, and British commerce more systematically harrassed by illegal exactions, than in China.However, such is the case; for no country on the globe, barbarous and anar- chical as it may be, surpasses Mexico in the bad faith of its Government, or in its brutality towards strangers.Reverting to the past, our gold companies have been robbed and ruined time after time, and millions upon millions lost by Mexican bad faith.Qur commercial enterprise has been almost broken, in spite of treaty-law, by official extortion and fraud.Qur merchants, after embarking large capital in Mexican adventures, have been driven to the alternative either of evading the Government regulations or of abandoning their legitimate speculations altogether.\u2014 Not that the natural resources of the region have ever been exaggerated, or that the Spanish conquerors drained the land of its opulence before they quitted it ; for, indeed, the truth is, only its surface riches have as yet been developed.At Guanaxato there are mines of the precious metals, chiefly worked by Englishmen, which have yielded for a considerable period five millions of dollars annually; and yet, so desperate is the state of politics, so incessant is the pillage, so miserable and dishonest is the condition of society, that the speculation is hardly worth pursuing, and bankruptey instals itself even in the recesses of the gold mine.All this, however, might be passed over on the ground that enterprising Englishmen, venturing into foreign regions in pursuit of gain, must accept the risks together with the profits of their adven- ture\u2014although the plea has not been held good in the case of the Chinese.But the recent deliberate outrage at Mexico, which has already led to diplomatic steps, and even menaces, on the part of the British Government, is one which cannot be lightly passed over or speedily forgotten.On the 17th of Nov.last, amid a state of anarchy difficult to conceive, the strong room containing the bondholders\u2019 deposit, six hundred and fifty thousand dollars, was forcibly broken open by order of Marques, and the whole of the money stolen.Now, this treasure lay in the house of the British Legation.Upon the door was painted the aonouncement that the dwelling was in the occupation of the British Government.The keys were in the possession of the British agent.The premises, therefore, to all intents and purposes, were English, as the specie undeniably was.The act of plunder was committed by a body of troops, and therefore whatever Government exists is responsible for it.Besides, the funds were carted off to the national treasury.We are aware that certain protestations and evolutions have signalised from time to time the indignation of our commanders, and of the difficulties which would embarrass them \u2018were they to attempt any serious course of action ; but once and-for ever the Mexican Government must be brought to reason, and England; as the State which has chiefly suffered from the aggression, ought to take the lead in enforcing the rights of nations and the laws of diplomacy against the insolence of that which is scarcely a Power at all, but a miserable barbarism\u2014to-day in office, tomorrow in disgrace\u2014which desolates the land it pretends to rule, and makes up for its own defalcations by ransacking the treasure-chest of the English Legation.\u2018 [If Britain were to step into Mexico and Central America, as France has done.into Syria, it would astonish tho Secession States \u2014Ep.Wir] \u2018= À clear stream reflects-all objects that are \u2018upon its shore, but is unsillied\u2019 by them ; so it should be with our hearts; they should show the effect of all objects, and yet remain; unharmed by any.Then the newspaper is multum in parvo.The \u2014 A Spanish weekly newspaper is now published in London.[EEE little giant, the irrepressible conflict man, or the RISKY RECRUITS.(From New York Tribune.) Doughfaces in petticoats and pantaloons; women who tell us that the negroes are the happiest creatures in the world ; men who assure us that emancipation would result in ruin; sentimentalists who are sure that all slaveholders are like Isaac and Jacob, and that slaveholding is the prettiest bucolic thing in the world; Dr.Adamses taking South-side views through a bit of rose-colored glass, and seeing only pastoral Sambos, digging where they please, and pleasing to dig very little; Biblical people, who are perfect] convinced that Slavery is of Divine ordination\u2014a these will be pleased to learn, not merely that Sambo is at work in the trenches of Charleston, but that he is to be employed in shooting ¢ the Yankees.\u201d The correspondent of the Baltimore American tells us how the blacks of South Carolina are spading, hoeing and digging, and at the same time grinning and giggling and singing at Fort Moultrie and Sullivan's Island.We shall have, shortly, many astute reflections from some of our Northern philosophers and theologians upon the love, devotion, attachment, and gratitude of these sable soldiers; and perhaps something special and spicy anent these African antics from the American Tract Society.May we, too, venture upon a few remarks ?In the first place, then, we assume that the negro- slave is a dangerous creature.By the laws of South Carolina, he cannot be taught to read or write; he cannot be away from his domicile after a certain hour in the evening; he cannot meet with his fellows except under certain rigid restrictions.Watched, shackled, locked up, treated as carefully as if he were a package of gunpowder, the slave in South Carolina is regarded very much as we regard leopards and tigers in this city.Such at least is the feeling, and such is the fear indicated by the Statute Book of that State.It is because the black slave is dangerous thai he is shut up at night ; it is because he is capable of plotting that conspiratory meetings are guarded against by law; and it is because he is thought.to be capable of revolt that he is so hampered and handcuffed.If it be otherwise\u2014if the planter be not fearful, if the slave be not dangerous, it is but little to ask why South Carolina has resorted to such legislation ?For our own part, we are willing, upon the authority of South Carolina herself, to admit that, in thus making soldiers of her serfs, she is doing a very imprudent thing.The black man is imitative.No matter in what work of the war he may be employed, it will be impossible for him to avoid the acquisition of some smattering of military knowledge.He will learn the advantages of a ditch and of a breastwork ; he will comprehend in time the mystery of large guns; and he will grow familiar with muskets and rifles and bayonets.It will not do to presume upon his stupidity.A black sutler who has seen a camp, although he has never been drilled, is infinitely more dangerous than another who bas seen nothing of service.Tobe sure, the mere camp-servant\u2019s learning may be little, but it will not be less disastrous; for, in a certain sort of warfare, his very blunders may win battles.The highest genius is not required to constitute a common soldier; one general with some ability will make tolerable use of a hundred dunces; for if it were not so, there would be no war.Imagine, then, arebel chieftain, black or white, with a following of insurgents, who bave learned the secret of rebellion at Moultrie ; who have been trained to stand fire, to return it, to work artillery, and above all, to obey, without question the word of command.Such a company, however small, might carry dismay and desolation through whole districts.As it marched, its resources would increase.Every plantation captured would afford recruits and provisions, and possibly guns and powder.The same spirit of imitation which makes the negro grin from ear to ear as he plays at soldier and piles up parapets, would lead him into rebellion whenever the example was afforded.But he would be more to be dreaded than the most thoroughly drilled soldier, when once he had tasted of blood and had escaped from the routine of his old life.It is but a poor consolation to know that those who provoke will be those who suffer.The philanthropist shrinks from all human agony, however recklessly it may have been incurred ; and the time may come when those who have been sneered at as sickly sentimentalists will be called upon, and will not be the last to pity and succor.Tae Social Evin 1v DusLiy, \u2014 Recently, (says the Dublin Express,) in- pursuance of a'plan that had been arranged some weeks ago, a number of gentlemén went two and two through the city, .and presented cards to the unfortunate females whom they met in the streets, inviting them to a social meeting in the Merchants\u2019 Hall.Tea and cakes were provided in abundance, at tables ranged round the large room, which were presided over by several benevolent ladies, who, with truly Christian zeal, assis ted in this most interesting mission.About twenty clergymen, of different denominations, took part in the proceedings during the course of which a number of impreseive \u201cexhortations were delivered, accompanied by prayer and the singing of hymns.Nearly 200 young women were present, and nothing could exceed the propriety and earnestness with which this singular assembly conducted themselves.Many of them were moved to tears during the delivery of the addresses.Some were extremely youthful, and many had \u2018the appearance of having been respectably brought up.About twenty availed themselves of the offer of the kind friends who originated the movement, and went to the home provided for them.Tue LEGITIMACY oF PRINCE NapoLEoN THREATENED.\u2014 We read in a Paris letter :\u2014A most interesting case will come before the tribunal of First Instance at Paris onthe 25th of the present month.Madame Bonaparte, first wife of the late Prince Jerome Bonäparte, ex-King of Westphalia, and uncle of the Emperor Napoleon, and her son by her ° marriage with the Prince claim to inherit their part of the personal property left by the Prince.\u2018Mu dame Bonaparte, who, I believe, is now.in Paris, was an American lady named Paterson, and the real object of the present suit is to establish the perfect legality of her marriage.It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of the case, for on the decision ofthe Tribunals will depend th first or of the second marriage.The, MONTREAL NUE prised hd poets Biron Houde.hea of Drummond Street, Montreal.e legality of the pt Lo 200% So niet ol Ba : eutitniiqtnt 5 + Ep EEE ee CEC i a i À 19 3 F 2 «+ SB ran fA = |.Pn © Chey |, bah | Ets | Phe | P|.BE o © Okuph | fee ;
