with hay-ricks, skirt the bank of the oreek that flows slusgishiy at the bottom of the wide, decp hollow peculisr to Canadian streame.While here and there loug belts, or square olamps of forest rcliove the landscape from monotony.So truly Gnished and civiliged the whole scenc appe:py, that it is hard for the mind to believe that this same lindseaps, so tranquil aad homelike as it lies beueath the ruddy reflection of the evening sky, wis forty years ago à rude, cheerloss, tanzled l'orent\u2014nsavage wiljer- ness.It is in contemplating such a\u2019 socne ns this, and in wentally contrasting it with what it w short a time before, that the mind be- -sorlibimprosssd with a deep feeling of respect and gratitude for those men, who, by their persevoranoe and strovg arma have wrought so It is to relating the story of one of those hardy pioncers taut the following narrative is devoted.- U .In one of the richest agricultarsl counties in England dwelt Jcha Braxton.Ho was a bluff, simple soul, past the medium of life, not without a certain kind of shrewdness, though elown- ish and satarnine in appearance.Like his forefuthers he wus a furmer, not one of those well-to-do farmers that city people picture to themselves, but one of thut numerous class who existed before the introduction of modern eul- ture and machinery, who, With the assistance of their «families, cultivated the land themselves.which rewarded their Heavy and laborious toil with little beyond the merest subsistence.Cuwmbered with a lurge and youth ul fumily (his.wife was dead) and finding every year greater difficulty in paying the rent, which rose rapidly from the inercasing value of land, it was but nature that he should have turned his thougnts to finding a home elsewhere.Fixing, at length, on Usnada he began tq prepare to jrurney.thither.Everything hus been settled ; the.furniture, the cattle, ull have been sold ; and one fine morning in early spring, when uature was aguin breathing life into the dead eurth, John, his family, and a neizhbour who had determined to accompany him with his, with stegngely blended feelings of sorrow and hope, t ] their backs, for the last time, on the bones they had known from childhood.They nre now several days at sea; land is no longer to be seen; the dark, blue waves, crested with foam, roll on, and on, seemingly without end, on cvery side, and the tall, stately ship, with her white sails outspread, pursues her solitary path through them.But though all îs so pure and sileut without, within the vessel reeks with noisome smells, and is a picture of hopeless confusion.The suffering of emigrants in crossing the Atlantic before the days of Emizration Acts, forms onc of the saddest pages in the annals of human misery.Tho vessel, which was no worse than others, was greatly over crowded, a l.rge portion of the passe-gers being of the very lowest class, and who were totally The hold, which was to be the home of several hundreds of haman beinrs, was but a long narrow cavernous tank, so intensely dark that it was finpossible to see anything \u201cas you staggered und stumbled forward, stooping all the tiwe, among the con: tinually quarreling crowd of men and women, the crying of children, and the huddled masses of luggage.When the ship hud preceeded on her way for ten days, she encountered a suceess- ion of cold, stormy duys.Thera was no staying on deck, waves were cvery few minutes breaking over her, and bleak bitter blasts, with slecty showers, continually prevailed.Down below the pass ingers had to stay in their dark \u2018miserable berths, amid the fetid odours, nnd the reglless cl»mour and confusion.Under kuch cBnistances, with their bodies innervated by sea-siokness, the want of comfort, cleanliness,nnd cooked food, it would have been a miracle if disease did not break out.On the twelith day fever appeared.There were no arrangements for separating the sick from the healthy, there was no comfort, no care tuken by the Captain (who séeued to look upon them 2s so much frei ht, which being paid for he had no further interest in) for their recovery.Before the first alvrm was over,more than forty were struck down.If things were bad b.fore they were worse now; wretehedness in its vilest form hrooded o'er the hnpless ship.Those who had relations stricken by tho sickuess wopcd sullenly in corners or wandered about vacantly, labouring under a frenxy ot griof and despuir ; others were sunk in dull apathy, but the greater part were tortured by fear, for let tho desire be ever so strong there is no flying from an infected ship, while some grew reckless, and sought refuge in boisterous dissipation.But of all, the position of the dloss sick wos the worst.No friend or er rolation there to eootho the suffercr's pings, no necessaries, no, not even heaven's pure air und sunlight, Isolated from the whole world, he lies in his comforticss dungeon, sur tounded by strangers os miserable ns himself, racked and irritated by the motion of the vessel, unsaved for, nohecded.What misery ean sur- pars this ?: : Ta alt this fearful mass of miscty John Braxton kept his usual comporare ; nnxions indeed, fur the safety of his children, but -heed- less for his own.\u2018No one tended the friendless sick more unwearinely or cheerfully \u2018than He.Late and early the Qig, rough, countryman was engaged in some work of charity ; \u2018moving from one poor sufferer's berth to another, tending to this one's wants, lifting the next in his brawny arms while he smoothed his unensy bed ; now whispering rude, but kindly, words of hope to some dispirited forlorn soul, or of consolation to sone heart-broken mother.Nothing tired him; not a child but knew him by some kindly act, not a sufferer but blessed hitn from his heart as he passed.All this he did without ostentation, sevning himeell to think nothing of it, looking upou it, if he ever did think of it, as his duty\u2014 doing it instinctively from the prom kings of his generous hosrt.Io his work charity, in.denying deed was done among that crowd wanting in delicuoy perhaps, but kindly ond thoughtful.Matters grew worse every day; the passage was ati unusually long one, and the sick continually increased.Hardly n day passed without ont of more uf their number being committed to the dark oveaq that rolled around them.When within a few daze mil of the Bunks of Newfoundland the peigh ur who, with his family, hed! among the hundreds he had ever seen before, it was over a comfort to him to turn to bis com- pinion, to talk of the scenes they had ban so familisr with.and from which they were now so completely severed.The concern und sorrow he felt when he saw him thus struck down can be easily iinagined, and also how his heart was wrung ut the sight of the misery of the wife and children of the sick man.Vs ith what tender solicitude he waited and watched on him, nnd how he tried fo cheer and rouse him in bissimple way, ye need not narrate, With all bis ourc and his wife's too ho snk vapidly ; indeed, it was wonderfal how any one could recover in such a place.It was one bright, runshiny afternoon on tho Banka of Newfoundlayd that his death took place.À soft, miiky haze overspread the sk aud sen, which, undisturbed by the long swell common to the Atlwntie, lay glistening in the sunshine.\u201d :Che ship, tlie only object thot broké the mmotony of the ocean, with every one of lier white sails outzpresd.mpved lugily und evenly alpng, impelled by warm airs, so gentle that they havdjy raised a vipple on the ocean.The wliole sevne was so bright, so paacetful, so soothing, yet so full \u2018of calm hope, that the mind be- aime imperceptibly imbued with its spirit.The passengers, pale and dirty, were reattered about the deck, soinc jounging and basking in the sun, some gathered in groups, others trailing over the high bulwarks long fishing-lines; all were quiet and composed, contrasting strongly with their sunl noisy restlessness.Down betwixt decks the sick mun lay, near one of the open hatches, down which she sunlight pourcd in in one bright column.Around his berth were gathered iis wife and family, together with John.Hehad been in n stupor since worning, and it wus easy to see that from it he would but awaken to death.As.they were thus grouped around, waiting in angiity, with everything so still and oncly, the dying man awoke.[Ile fecbly opened his eyes, gnzed abstractedly for a few moments ut the suulisht streaming down into the dismal hold, turned his \"vacant gnze on his children, and pressing tha hand of his wife, which wus clasped in his, a smile of affection and recognition pissed over his wan face, and wurmuring * Thou'st been a guod lass, Jenvie,\u201d assed to the world of spirits., But the end of their misery did come.When ul bad given up the immediute expectation of; sesing land, looking forward to it as something that would come at some undefinable period, the ery of \u201cLand\u201d runy through the ship znd up came cvery soul that could eravl to sce it.There, sure enough; it was; three fuint blue pusks peering fur away above the horizon; before evening the peaks gradually grew into a blue cloud that hung suspended on the horizon, and the cloud next morning resolved itself into a long spit of land.New life was infused, urd those who bad meped disconsolutely the day befure now fult the glow of hope und expectation, Trunks were packed nnd rep-cked, and their expectations in the New World were daily discussed.In another week the s'ip arrived at Quebec.A motley, wretched crowd came forth.Some, ax soon 18 they linded, mixed with the inhabitants as if they hid known the country for vears, and were at once lost sight of, but the majority stood uloof and silent, feeling they were in a land of strangers.Not a few of them, alas, with the dark shadow from which they had just emerzed still pressing on them, like the recolluétion of one awakening from a hideous nightmare, in which they hud lost by the way those who had becu us the life-blood of their hearts, and who now went forth into the world again, groping timorcusty, with all joy and hope forover dead within them.Among such was the wife of the neighbour who had accompanied Jobu Braxton ; she had left her husband and four of her children in the awful depths of the cold, dark ocean.Stunned nnd uncertain she stood on the wharf surrounded by her remaiu- ing children.knowing not where to go, or whit to do ; even looking buck with regret to the ship on which she had suffered =0 much.Modest aud unassuming by nature, she did not intrude her troubles on any of her t:llow-passengers, who had sufficient of their own, apd who were now waiting in silence for the steamer that wus to take thew up the river.The steamer came at last, the emigrants went on board, no onc tukang notice of her, not that they did not feel for her, or wish to belp her, but simply because they could pot, Just us the steamer was about to start, Joho, who had been engrossed in getting his luggage and children on board, naticed her sitting apart desolate nad silent in all the noise nud bustie.Iurrying up to her he exclaimicd, « What kceps thce sitting here, woman - She looked wist'ully and reluctantly at him us she answered in her broaderustic dialect, but with a voize low sud tremulous, * \u201cI've na purpose to gae farther; T'se ba but.a burden on ye.mny us well stay here as ony where else.\u201d «Sta here,\u201d echoed John, ¢ what would thee do here, puir thing, wi\u2019 no a frien\u2019 to help thee, or afnes ye kniw?Na, na, woman, ye come wi\u2019 me; I \"so look after yo and ye're baïrns.\u201d 4 Na, John,\" she replied, lier desire for the welfure of her children struggling with her sense of independence and generosity, ¢* I can na go wi thee; ye have enough of trouble of your uin, without me and mine.Thou'st been à good frien\u2019 and I canna impose on thee.\u201d 4 Ye'll be pae burden,\u201d wid John rapidly, \u201c ya'll bo a mither to my children, and I'se bo a father to thine.L'll no leave the wife of my frien and neighbor for twenty years to struggle and starve by her lane in a farawa\u2019land.Come uway,\u201d he cried, as tho steamer's bell rung impatiently, and throwing on his broad shoulders one.of the widow's heaviest trunks, he made for the eteamer.The widow, with a bursting heart, followed with her children.Up a noble river the vessel steams, its broad bosom littering and dancing in the sunlight, its banks lined with ono continuous range of white villages, cmbosomed in trees, each with its red tiled church, and its tinned sicaple gluneing brilliantly fo thesunshine.Past all this the steamer sweeps, and far upward till by the weird moonlight, the wanderers watch the St.Lawrence drift sulleoly between rugged banks, crested with shepgy pines, and where no mark «man is seen.Ta time they reuch their dostination, and t who have been so long as member: of one family, separate, each taking his own ve 19 rear smew for themselves homes in this land .» far removed and difforeat from that thoy have left.hey mornin, \u2014 that which he had adopted, snd with his household goods stowed io à great lumbering waggon, drawn by oxen, started for the backwoods.Everything was bright ond fresh, full to aver- flowing of life und bouyancy, the forest brilliant in its new garments, the air voonl with the hum of insects and the singing of birds, the clearings covered thick with sprouting grain, the sun dus.sling, and the atmosphere so pure that with every breath one seemed to inhale pew life and strength.As they went onward the sigos of civilization w fewer.Cloarings were seldom met with, and even those became so rare at last, that they would journey for hours together with out passing onc.How strangely lonely, at fimt, did the forest appear to them us they went slowly creaking und jolting through it.There wus no other sign of man's existence, ar even that he had ever been there, but the rude track along which thayfrolied, and which, from its narrowness, and the -sbruptncss with which the trecs closed in on either side, ndemed rather to have been.dug, gut off.that cut through the forest.Trees, nothing bug trees, to be secn ; sometimes growing so thickly, so interwoven with bushes and creeping plants, and the onrth so cambered with fallen and decayed trunks, that you could not peuctrate it for ten yurds.At other \u2019tiuves the huge forest monarchs spryng up, freo of ull incumberance, till far up they shot out their branches, which interlaced with each ether so thickly that the sunshine fuiled to penetrate into the twilight vault bencath\u2014which': resembled the crypt of some huge cuthodral\u2014exgçopt here and there, where a stray supbeam shot through sume interstice and wrote on the brown carth\u2014 the accumulation of conturies of leaves\u2014the story of its course.Rude nud solitary as that roud was, it filled not the mind with despondency, but was full of hope and promise.These forest wilds spoke.not of sges on ages of tyranny, cruelty, and rapine, of the strong oppressing the werk ; of down-trodden generatiors, or of deeds which history blushes to record ; nor of what is infinitely worse than the chuins of déspotism or the fires of persceution, the crushing, relentless, grasp of poverty, chilling the lite-blood ard.robbing from generations,and wiliions, the pleasures of existence.This wilderness, savage and deserted ns it was, spoke not of this; it knew nothing of the past with its crimes and enormitics,its wretcheduess und sorrows, but it spoke of a future of peace and comfort, in which every man, blessed with stout arms.could rear a Lone of plenty, secure from the thraldom and traditions which bi: forefuthers had boqueathed.It was a clean and noble shcet spread out where myn could again write the history of civilization, free from the blots which sullies that of the past.Some such thoughts as these, though cloudy ond indis- tinet, floated across John's simple wind as he went trudging along, wishing from the bottom of his heart that the thoysunds of his countrymen who pine and cumber in the land he had left, were transplanted here, to eutor a career of independence for themselves, and Lelp to build up a mighty nation.It was ou the evening of the second day that they reached the spot where they were to dettle, and where they were at lust to vest after all their 1 devious journeyings.It was a sequestered spot, buried deep in the forest.and remote from any neighbouring setrler.The rude shauty was soon raised, and before the summer passed a littl clearing was effected around it.Year after yeur that field grew larger and larger, snd with every tree that fell with resounding shock new comforts came to reward the lubourer.Years rolled on, old neighbours in Lingland, to whom John had written of his success, came to suttle beside him, and instead of the one thin blue streak of smoke, rising from among the green woods, you could now count wore than a dozen, and with every arrival the great forest rolled farther and further biek, A blackswith cme and settled among them, after Lim a waggon-maker, till at length a store sprung vp.Every year udded to the settlement, till in time it grew to the dignity of a village and was solemnly christened Brax- tonville.The old shanties in which the settlers at first lived were now stables, and the énigrant had become a well-to-do farmer, with a brick house, aud u farm, consisting not of little patches of clearing, rough with charred and blockened stutups, but of fine rolling fields, as smooth and as rich us thuse of his native land.No dne looked upon tha changs with 1 more gratefol or contented haart than Jolin Braxton, now grown old and frail.lle was the chiel man of the set- tement, he whom every onc consulted, and to whom sll looked up with affection und veneis- tion.His own children, and those of the widow, were Jong since grown up and settled around him.There was nothing now to disturb the paace und even current of the old man's life as it went gliding slowly to its end.At length the old man sunk to his repose, and the true and simple heart cœused to beat.With deep sorrow und reverence the settlers bore him to his last home; it was in u posecful nook, close by the little river, whore the grass grew lony in summer, and the snow in winter lay in many a reamy fold.rrp A TELEGRAPHIC HOAX IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.Tue following © special despatch\u201d

account of hor destruction by five: \u2014 The William Nelson was a first class pnoket ship of New York, commanded by Captain Levi Smith.She left Antwerp ou the 2nd of June and Flushing onthe 4th ta: New York, with five hundred and\u2019 fifty souls on board.On the voy- ago there had been :wo birt, sixteen casos of fever sud six dcuths, muking frequent fumign.tions afithe ship nocessary.Ttefmorning of tho 25th, Rothetein descended juto th ship where the sick were lying, and found the air so infected us to muke fumigation immediately uscossary to ensure the safety of the passengers.Capt.Smith gave Mr.Roth- stein obarge of claansing the ship, which is done by dippiag heated irous into tar, und swinging thes tough the air.During the procces one of the men cmployed in fnmigating let à red hot iron fall into a pail of tar, which instantly bluged up as high us the ceiling.Roth- stein, who stood behind the men, directing them, caught up a matteass and flung it and himself on the pail of blazing tar, with the idea of smothering the flame, whan it exploded and threw hit) and the mattrass backward ten feet.The men\u2018 now becoming alarmed, threw upon it straw beds and other cowbustible substances, which burned like torches.In ten minutes the flames burst up the hatehway, nnd were running up the\u2018 im:inma-t and rigging like fiery serpents.he seene now wes indescribable.The flames bursting out in the middle of the ship divided it and drivid® hein ta the extreme ends of the burning vessel.Some became frantis and leaped into the sca.Others flew up and down the deck wrapped in the fl unes of heir clothes, rending the air with their shricks.Strong men clenched in deadly combit for the possession of a.life preserver ora spar, nud ghas ly men and women, with infants lashed to them, swung themselves outsids the ship by ropes, to which they clung until the fire burhed them in two and let the sufferers down into a watery grave.About one hundred pr:rsons had gathered on the vawsprit when the foremast fell Killing many and hurling the rest into the sen.When the fire first.broke out ten sailors seized tie long boat, ecpable of \u2018holding sixty or seventy persons, and rowel off.They were prevailed upon to rcturn and take in twenty-seven passen- sers.Captain Smith, the two mates, Rothstein, and as many of the sailors ns they could control.lowered the three small boats, none of them seb- worthy, and placed in them Rothstein's wife and four children, and the rest of Nelson's passengers picked up by the Lafayette.As the boats were rowed away from the burning ship, some chickens to escape the flames, flew after them and alighted on the shoulders of the passengers.A fut pig swam up to one of the bouts and tndicated a desire to be saved.lle was picked up, nnd showed his gratitude by remaining quict in the bottom of the boat.Some of the chickens hud uppeascd the hunger of the voyagers before they were tescued.When Captain Smith and Rothstein could do no wore for the sufferers, they leaped into the sen and swam away, more to escape the cries of those whom they could not aid than to save their own lives.After having been in the water about two hours, they were picked up by one cf the bouts.4 ANOTHER ACCOUNT.The William Nelson left Antwerp on the 1at of June lust, with obout 448 emigrant pas- scngers, md a crew of thirty men.The shi did not, however, put to sea until the 4th of June.The voyage continued without incident until the 26th of June.The captain then ob- servéd thut several emigrants were suffering from a violent fever, nad, searing that this wight beoome contagious, he gave orders to make the passeugers come on deck, that the ship might be fumigated, as a precautionary measure.The 1st mate and carpenter were sent below with s:veral suilors, furnished with tar-buckets, and red-hot irons.The operation was neurly completed, at 12% o'clock, when the last tar barrel burst into a flume, and the boiling tar flowed over upon the deck, seriously burning the carpenter nnd the suilors who were assisting him.The vessel immediately took fire.The middie deck was soon full of smoke, and the ignited tar flowed with the roll of the ship under the bed of one of the emigrants, setting it on fire, ln an instant the fumes spread fore and aft, rendering it impossible for the meu to extinguish them.fiven before they could reach the deck immense columns of fumo shot through the hatchway, and, reaching the sheets of the mainsgil (all sail wes set at that mewent), enveloped the main mast with the rapidity of lightning.In the twinkling of an eye all the gails on the imaiomast were on fire, as well as theriggiog.The coptain ordered part of the crew to get the boats ready, to save ns many pamengers sa Jomible, and rast te close the -ventilutors and the hatohway.This was hardly.dune, when à number of men, pry emigrante, formed a save them, NO.47._ Ep Hitherto discipline and gnod order had been maintained.But now a gencral panic seized the unfortunate passengers, all of thews throwing themsolves upou the boats, which from their numbers it was completely impossible to prevent.Oue had no sooner touched the water them she was capsized by n number of cmigrents who juwped iuto her.These wero nearly all drowned.Four sailors, who were also in the water, suo o2eded io righting the boat and bringing it tu the side of the vessel ugnin, and thon saved some of the mon in tho water.But while the boas was still alongside sowie more emigrant pod into it and capsized her a socond time The sailors were aguin able to right her, sud igok on board us miny passengers us it could hold.The coptain himsclt assisted in lowering aunch, and the recond mute, the vuly sailor whb entered it, was fortyuntq voough to save \u2018several cabin pissongers.The two other boats wore lowered with much trouble.- The largest contained no less than 35 passongers, with rix of the crew, sowe of whow got inte another boat less heavil laden, leaving two to steer.Tha.last bout, wit! the same number of sailors, and full of emigrants, sucçcoded in getting clear of those who swam around it: Meanwhile, the vaptaiu, sceing that he could do nothing wore to savo the ship, ordered the rest of the crew, about 15 men, to throw overboard #verything possible that would float.All were lashed togethor, do as to form a kind of raft, so as to save us many lives as pow- sible, This wus hardly finished when the unhappy passengers still on board, threw themselves upon it in large numbers, followed b several of the sailors.Others on board the ship rushed from one end of the deck to the other, and, going into the cabin, broke the furniture and threw it into the water.The contusion which now reigned was beyond anything possible to conceive, It was impossible for the captain to make himself heard, though giving reitorated orders and seeking to stop the panie.This took plice about hulf an hour after the fire broke out.At this time from 130 to 150 emigrants had succceded in getting upon spars alongside the ship, when the topmusts, with their yards, &e., all on fire, suddenly gave way.and fell right upon them, killing many at once and throwing the others into the mea, The cries of the wounded and drowning were terrible.The captain and the sailors could do nothing to The fire between decks gaining the upper deck and the musts, u fresh panic broke out, and the poor crentures fought among thetu- stlves to reach tho raft, Several fell into the water und were drowned; others succeeded in reaching the raft, but the muinmast fill upou them some minutes afterwards and crushed several to death, Then only did the second mate and a few of the crew jump overbomd.Being good swimmers, they proceeded towards the boats, ut some distance, and wero fortunate cnough to reach them.and be taken in.About two hours after the five broke out a purt of the deck, being entirely undermined, th in, and a large uumber of emigrants were precipitated headlong into tlie burning furnace beneath.ho heat was suffocating, and it was impossible to remain any longer on board.Soie paseon- gers jumped into the sea, and with them the re- mining sailors, three of whom ure supposed to have been drowned.The lashings which held the raft together being burnt through, it parted in two, with many persons clinging to the planks and many underneath.The captain, under the absolute impossibility of doing anything to save those still on bo srd, jumpred overbourd, and, seeing two boats at a great distance, swam towards them.After swimming for three quarters of un hour, together with two sailors who followed hin, they were at last perceived by the emigrants, who steered towards them, and, at the risk of being capsized and drowned, picked them Up in a state of ulmost complete exhaustion.The captain immediately steered towards the ship, in order to see if they could make a raft to save those clinging to various objeuts ond those hanging upon the ship's bowsprits.But nothing could be donc.They remuived near the ship until 3 A.M., when she sank, carryin with her the rest of the poor crentures on board: The bouts then steered N.N.W.There wus no water on board either of thom.One had no provisions, and the other had two or threo fowls, a duck and a pig.During all this time the sea was fortunate) calm,

articles that can got across the river, in localities where there are no custom-house officers.1 have heard the experience of several from their own lips, who make no bomes of bragging of their exploits in this respect.Some trafficing in leather, others in shoes, clothing, liquors, &e and this is done through, in some instances, the blindness of some of the officials, caused by a dose of a dozen bottles occâsionally of native winer,others for the mere friendship of those who carry on this traffic.I was not aware of the extent to which this was carried on before m arrival here.One ingenious method of smugzl- ing on à small scala of highwines between the United States and the Canadas, is the following : \u2014À tin can is made in such à manner that it esn be worn under the garment around the body, that it will hold two or three gallons.The individual is rather portly, but ast to the officials no suspicions are aroused, snd gors and gets the can filed, roturns with it,

following necount of a perfor mance of his on Tuesday, 25th inst : Prom at four o'clock on Tuesday tho American Blondia mado his appearance on the American side, and shortly aftur wos equipped io readiness to .form his perilous journey, bound with chaine.* Lieslie was shackled after the latest approved fashion in vogue at Washington, but minus the head padding, as the dunger of dashing hia brains out on the rope was not considered fami.; nent.Ilo wore about his waist a broad band of thin iron, aud from this, chains led to his wrists and to bands encircling his legs about the knees, The irons were bonu fir, not of the description provided for a previous performance of the kind, and weighed about twenty-cight pounds, whieh, with: the balancing-polo, mude a load of nearly cighty pounds, which was curried over the rope.Leslie's baluncing-pole is thirty-one foot in ° length, the ends boing ironed, aud the weight ia a trifle ovor tifty-nine pounds.The starton the first cro-sing was mude at\u2019 precisely tom wi- nutes past four; the veutatesome traveller proceeding very caution ly, braving a frightful risk from the heavy wiud that was blowing at the time, the delicate procision of his balancing powers being fully exhibited, and his unflinching nerve was put to A severe test.About a quarter of his distance over, the span of the rope bein 961 feet from shore to shore, bo sat down and rested for a short time; und again rising he made the reminder of the distance with a stendy, brisk step, occupying eight minutes fifty.three seconds in the sromsing.lis appearance indicated that the frat lind been a trying one; but speedily recovering his composure he pro cecded to inform his visitors of the arrangements for the next exhibition, on tho 3rd of August, concluding with the nssarante that his line was positively subject to no postponements on aceount of tho weather, of which his daring performance - yesterday wun sufficient proof, After a visit of about five minutes with his Canadian friends, Leslic started on his return, this time relieved of bis shackles, and while on the Cunadian half of the rope, which was somewhat protected from the wind, lie polio med a variety of daring feats, Fagtening Lin bala: ing.polo, he let himself down from the rope and Ling by his hunds, and then revorsed tho position, hanging by his feet, and going through the motims nf swimming; ho then laid himself at length upon one of the guy ropes, and occupied several minutes in 6 vonturesome feats.On again resuming his journcy, as he passed the centre of the rope, tho violent gusts of wind rendered his position one of extreine peril, even for an expert performer upon the rope ns he is, At times it seemed that the wind would swing his balancing-pole beyond control, and when the sudden puffs struck him, .as noticed by the fluttering of his kilt, he would remain still for rome seconds, while the spectators watched his progress with alinost breathless suspense.I'he time nccupied upon the rope on his return was u trifle over nineteen minutes, and when again safely on shoro à feeling of relief was experionced by all who beheld the perfor- : nance, and his success was greeted with eheerr.- Leslie will give his next grand performance on .the 8rd of August, whon he will cross the repo with a cooking.atove on his back, meking a stop ° midway to

stones, rovols- ers, and guns «t the people.varying this order of things occasionally by striking them with clubs, and fists.and maltrenting them in various other ways; leaden bals flew like

reduced by the unseating of a nuwber of Liberal members for bribery, but the bonst was obviously unfounded.The Taries are likely to lose more members than the Liberals from this cause, they having distinguished themselves in this election, as they have always done, by the lavish manner in which they bought and coerced voters.For the Inst few years tha cry of the Tories has been that there was a

the 12th, in the Court House.The Iondon Times, which is wet 3 very impartial authority, on ssch a subject, says that the Hall was packed by a trick of tbe Mayor with Orange wen, though there is vo evidense that sweh wns the ose, or.that even a tithe of those who filled the Hull belonged to the Orange Association.The Tyanes correspondent says : \u201c4 Lord John Hay, the C:tholie candidate had not a solitary supporter in the body of the hull, The socne thut prescuted itself on the opening of the door was the most extraordinary I ever witnessed, even nt the fiercest contests of the Irish in the south.The unwashed rabble were mostly young men of stunted growth, like the lowest clues of fuctory workers.They rushed in with yells of triumph, each flourishing a bludgean, or * skull-crucker,\u201d\u201d not round.but squure, except the handle, a dngerous weapon, which had been concenled under their clothes outside the vuilding.In they rushed with a tremendous noise, like the rouring of a torrent at the opening of a floodgate.In a few minutes the pluce was picked as closely as human beings could stand.When no more could enter they set a guard on the door, so thut none of the other party might by any chance get in.The whole movement was directed by leaders, and persons\u2019 on, the platform repeatedly gave the word, * Mind the door,\u201d lt is impossible to describe the tumult that was kept up this mass, waving erenge handkerchiels, brandishing blud- scons, checring, yelling, groaning, whistling, stamping on the Boor, beating the Kentish fire,

execution.\u201d The two popular candid tes, Sir H.Cairns and Mr.Getty, having spoken, Lord John Hay attempted the same, but was denied a hearing.At the election which took place on the Friday tollowing, Lord Hay was defeated by a large umjority, which is sufficient evidence that he was unpopular both in uud out of the Court House.Of all the different contests, that at Oxford has attracted the most attention.Mr.Gladstone, the distinguished Chancellor of the Exchequer, was defeated by a narrow majority : his opponent being a respectable nobody.As his defeat is to be wholly ascribed to his adoption of liberal opinions and his cfforts to raise the working classes both socislly and politically, it redounds to his honour und to the disgrace of the aristocratic exclusives who would appear to form the mujority of Oxford.Mr.Gladstone hus found a seat for South Luncashire, the mill- owners and cotton-rpinners slowing themselves more appreciative of his matchless endowments und enlightened principles than the college-bred voters of Oxford.a THE COMING SESSION.PARLIAMENT meets on Tuesday next.The chief, in fact the only, cause of its being sum.wmoned is to decide in some manner or other regarding Confederation.It is very hard to sce what decision the House can come to.The Lower Provinces are no more fuvourable to the scheme than they were when the House adjourned in the Spring, while as regards the hastening on of its adoption, the Delegation to England has done nothing.The Ministry have only two ways open to them\u2014they can talk over the scheme ond leave it alone until the Lower Provinces change their views, if that will ever liappen, or cise adopt the scheme so far as regards the two Cinadas.It is probable that the first ecurse will be the onc pursued, though it is almost tantamount to an abandonment of the whole scheme.However, another week will fully iuform a+ to what is intended to be done.One thing is certain enough, and that is, that Confederation has not become more popular in Canada since last session.In Upper Canada, we are informed, it is now regarded very lightly, while tlie proposal to spend large sums in fortifications is most unpopular.The death of Col.Tache, and the impossibility of filling his place without cxciting the jealousy of cither section of the Cabinet, furnishes good ground that the Ministry will find themselves weaker than they were last session.Their defeat at an carly day is an object to be desired by all who wish to have a patriotic and economical Government.ne A FENIAN FESTIVAL.Because so little has been heard of late of the Feninns, it is not to be imagined that they have become extinct.On the contrary, the Association is as strong and active as it was last winter, and its officers as unremitting in their cfforts to cxtend its organisation all over the continent.Being in the narrowest sense of the word a secret society, every effort is made to conceal its workings; public displays being only made pow and then to keep it before the general public On Tuesday, 25th ult., the Fenians of New York city, with their families, held a grand festival in pleasure-grounds adjacent to that vity.The New York papers say that there were thirty-thousand people present, who bchaved well, and were most bitter io their denunciations of Great Britain and enthusiastic in the Fenian cause, The proceedings of tle day, besides the amusements and cating and drinking common to all festivals, embraced a speech from aw orator who had beem specially appointed.The two following extracts will give an idea of his speech,:\u2014 \u201cThe position that I occupy in the Fenian Brotherhood is one that enables me, nay, of ne- cessily compels me, to have a knowledge of ail its mwchinery, its strength, its hopes, and its prospects ; and I could tell you much that would cheer every true Irish heart and advance the cause with the eold and unbelieving outside the organisation, but it mould not be alone

close of the American war and the friendly relations at present existing be- tweon us and our neighbours, gives us sufficent zuaranteo that the Fenian Association would be unable to effect anything of importance, cither in Canada or Ireland, if they attempted it.The blasphemous talk of the Fenian orator regarding Orangemen, will only be accepted by them as compliments \u2014 as proof of how much they hav done in preserving Ireland to Great Brita He spoke out what he thought; those Pro tants who turn the cold shoulder te that loyal Association in Canada, have not 80 much

tells the following regarding their success: \u2014 \u201c We understand that our delegates had an interview with Mr.Cardwell at the Colonial Office, on the 5th July, and wore most eordial- ly received.They anccompunied that gentleman to the House of Cow,mons, snd with him visited the House of Lords, where they heard the Lord Chancellor's defence of himself.They were to have another interview at an early day.At this early stage, we think it would not be advisuble to make uny definite statements as to the result of the mission.We may, however, express our belief that ar one result of it, there will be no dissolution of our present Lezislu- ture, and, therefure, the elections upoa which the Confederates have built so many hopes, are still a long distance in the future.We think, too, it will be found that the British Government, whilst favouring a Union of the Colonies, will not be found particularly attached to the Quebec scheme, and that it will be a matter of little moment to that Government whether the union be Legislative or Federative ; und in fact, thut the Government will be found most anxious to give the people time, not only to make up their winds for a union, but, also to deliberate upon the kind of union that they may desire.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 .There will be service in the Evangelical Church on Subbath evening first, to commence

fow days last week, and on Sunday went into the river to bathe.After going out for some distance, it is supposed he was seized with cramp «nd suifk.Ilis companions, who were at no great distance, returned and mude every effort to recover the body, but did not succeed until life was wholly extinct.It is said that he was unable to swim.Mr.Haddow was a native of Kilmarnock, Scotland, and was wuch

of the steamer Empress, which was crowded to hier utmost capacity.The Pic-nic was gut up by the members of the Garrison Volunteer Artillery, Col.Lyman commandant.The Beauharnois Volunteers turned out to receive their brothers in arms, gave them a salute as they approached the wharf, and then acoompanicd them to Point St.Louis, which had been kindly placed at their disposal by Jus.Keith, Esq., where dancing and pic-nicing were enjoyed to their fullest extent.In the evening the party left, well pleased with the day's enjoy- went.On Monday last a daughter of Mr.Chorles Rapin, hotel koeper,

Township of Dundue, took place on the 28th ult., before the parents and a number of spectators, when the scholurs were put through a course of \u201c Sprouts\u201d that made me glad that 1 had passed the time for such questioning, for well I remember, when under the same circumstances, how embarassing it wan for to have a crowd of listeners present ; at least it was so with me\u2014ditto at present.But to return, the examination showed tht the teacher, Miss Mary Stiles, has, I may safely say, no superior in this vicinity.The children nequi- itted themselves in a very oredituble manner in all the different brancl es which they were examined in, which were various, such as reading, urithmetic, geography, grammar, drawing, embroidery, plain sewing, crotchet work, and a light series of gymnastics, in all which it was clearly shown that the teacher had not been idle in the school-room.A number of sclect pieces in prose aud poetry were spoken and compos- itious read.At the end, Mr.N.Farlinger got up and made a few remarks culogistic of the manner in which the school was conducted and the progress attained, und showing what a difference there was now besides when he attended school; how much more thorough and low many more branches were taught at present.After the children had sung \u201c God Save the Queen,\u201d and a few prizes had been distributed, all repuired to a grove on Mr.N.Farlinger's \u2018arm, where the dense foliage of the maple trees screened the company from the rays of a very het sun.And there did come through among the treeses, A goodly amount of

expectations.knowledgments for the past, to apprire you that in addition to Surgical Dentistry, I am prepar>d to execute every description of MéCHANICAL DENTISTRY.Whole and partial sets of Teeth of

have Amalgam Ellings in their teeth muy have that injurious substance removed, and the teeth though turned quite black, restored to their normal whiteness and refilled with gold.By permission,

the dentist reach your chiliren's ears, their young imaginations make spectres of su things ; 1 have usually found children the mest lly ai le of paticnts, but their courage must arise from their own
