The Great Pyramid of Jezeh in Egypt.An instructive and highly interesting lecture was given by the Rev.W.H.Poole, of Toronto, on the above subject last evening, in the Stanley Street School-room, being the second of the rev.gentleman\u2019s course on Anglo-Israel.The Very Rev.the Dean of Montreal presided, and Rev.Gavin Lang, Rev.James Carmichael, Hon.James Ferrier and others occupied seats on the platform.The attendance was large.The speaker re.Egypt, saying that, next to the Holy Land, kgypt was the greatest country, in a political, scientific, and ecclesiastic sense, in the history of man.The pyramid in question was, in its construction, strictly and purely mathematical, and illustrated the principles of geometry thousands of years before Euciid\u2019s time.There are many opinions as to the purpose for which 1t was built, It bas been claimed that it was used to keep back the sand of the desert; again, others say it was atempl for the sun, for sacred fite or holy water, for an altar to God, for the tomb of kings, or to conceal treasure, all these theories and many others have had their advocates, but he was of opinion that it\" was a standing system of weights and measures erected by tie will of God for alltime.Several instances were given that went to- show the value of one great standard for buyerand seller.For instance goods have been measured in olden times by handfulls, eggshells, sticks, etc., and the lecturer was himself told when young that three barley corns make oge inch, but then barley corns are not all the same size, neither are eggshells, sticks, baskets, etc, The pyramid was first opemed 1820 years before Christ by a Caliph in search of treasure, it being currently believ- ¢d at that time, that there was a golden elephant inside, besides precious stones and valnables.But the explorers were disappointed; after persistent efforts they penetrated to a passage and after removing severa! obstructions at length reached a large chamber called the king\u2019s chamber, but the only article they found was a granite chest with.outa lid, empty.The fourth part ef this chest is exactly the same size asthe London quarter which was obtained by the barons\u2019 from King John at the time of Magua (harta.The exploration\u2019and researches of [rofessor Smith in the interior of the structure were described, that gentleman discovered by actual measurement that the base of each side was exactly a cubic foot for every day in tke solar year, and one half making 365 and a half cubic fect, and tha four sides thus added up, allows a cubic foot for every day in every four years, including the leap year, The structure is higher than any other work of man, measuring from the base of the rock to the pyramidal stone 488 feet.Herodotus gays that it took 360,.C00 men over 20 years to build it.It is 25 feet higher than St.Peter at Romy 123 feet higher than St.Paul's and 167 feet higher than St.James Church, Toronto.Aècording toa French engineer the material would erect a wall ten feet high right arourrd France.It cost about $91,841,009 of our money, and it weighs exsctly one thousand billionth part of the lund and sea.Both the king and queen\u2019s chamber are ventilated, by two air shafts.The lecturer also stated that this pyrataid\u201d was oriented better than any of our observa tories ; that by it the exact distance of the earth from the sun had been ascertained to be 91 million 840 thousand miles, a fact which had been verified by observations in other quarters of the globe.That the entrance to the building exactly faces thenorth star, and that Sir John Herschel sets the date of the erection of this pyramid at 2170 years B.C., from the fact that in that year a certain constellation crossed the horizon of the entrance to the pyramid\u2014that is, taking his angle from one of the passages in the pyramid leading to a chamber hewed out in the rocky foundation.In concluding the lecturer said that the flag which for a thousand years has braved the battle and the breeze would some day float over the pyramid, and would also be displayed in Turkey, in Asia and other countries, when the light of the moen and of the sun shall be full, the Grand Junction Railwa (sion A vote of thanks was heartily accorded to Admices from Aled audience dig- \u2018sure.ferred to many of the interesting features of |\u2019 - CITY COUNCIL.hi Me-rting of Committees.7 MABKETS, \u2018There was a meeting of this Committee yesterday afternoon, Ald.Holland.in the chair} when the following bwsiness was gone throdgh.Thepetition of the hucksters and vendors of small wares at Bonsecours Market was not entertained and a report to the Couricil to that effect was ordered to be madd.Oa the petition of the butchers\u2019 selling in markets, it was decided not to in- terfete and notify the Council accordingly.Ald.Mercer thought the markets shoud be thrown open to public competition to ascertain what revenue they would bring ; amd if they did not realize what was expsct- ed of them, let them be closed and give the ly bustitess to butchers keeping\u2019 private stally.The Chairmen read his report upon charges made by Patrick Hardie against Montgemery Vaughan, Clerk of 8t.Gabriel Market, and decided that the charges could not hold geod ; apropos of public abattoirs could not compel butchers to use them.Ald.Mercer contended that he did: not care so much about the law, he thought if thd abattoirs were made sufficiently advantageous to butchers, he much misteok that class if they would refuse to profit by them.Ald.Hellond stated that he had a mes tion prepared by the City Attorney, by which it was proposed to give Mr.Perrigo, Clerk of Bonsecours Market, the power to place persons selling on the outside of the market so as to avoid the confusion and disagreements that at present exist.Carried.Ald.Donovan was in favor of the mea- Ald.Stephens spoke in favor of taxing proprietors, and said in support of his plan that he paid $40 a year, but that it had been demonstrated by experiment that by meter his water rates wonld only amount to $7.50, so that he assisted to pay for other peoples arrears, Mayor Beaudry expressed himself as opposed to taxing proprietors, as did also Ald.Laurent.Ald.Robert approved of the plan, Ald, Donovan was for giving 25 per cent, to the landlord for collecting water rates: After further discussion the subject was dropped, and the meeting adjourned, WATER.This Committee sat yesterdny, sitmul- taneously with the Market Committee, Ald.Donovan presiding, \u2018The Mayor of St.Gabriel Village com- plainéd, in person, to the Committee, that the city was vitiating the water in the tail race, which, according to the conditions of sale of the Knox Estate, was t9 be preserved free from impurities for the use of the municipality.After the deed of conveyance and the terms of sale had been carefully read and discussed, it was resolved the city was not bound to look after the municipality's affairs, Ald.Stephens advised Mayor Wall to get annexed to the city and avoid farther un- plecsantness.The Mayor replied that the city would not come to terms.Ald.Hood made a motion for an investigation to discover who, in the employ of the Department, had gone to Quebec to take part in the elections ; by whose authority he went, and if he were paid.Ald Laurent remarked that he would move for the dismissal of the party who was guilty of such offence.Mr, Lesage said Thomas was the only one he knew of, and he had been paid off that day.It was moved that the vacant land on the Tail Race between Wellington and Ropery streets be sold at auction on the following terms : 10 per cent.cash, 6 per cent.interest and 15 years time.A report as above was ordered to be made to council.Mr.Lesage was allowed permission to purchase 2,000 stop cocks, A petition from the residents of St.Denis street, praying that the old reservoir be allowed them for a skating rink for-next winter.Left over to next meeting.Ald.Mercer proposed the quarterly collection of water rates, and said that the plan adopted in Toronto wes that to the bill were attached coupons, oneof which was made out foreach quirtér, and receipted by the clerk one by: ome) till the whole year was aid.» Anaccount for altering weights amounting: to $20, was ordered to be paid.Alex.Ros*s account for réjrisig- matket, and making the platform on Jacques Cartier Square, amotinting in all to $1,370.87, was ordered to be paid, subjeet to the approval of th: Building Tnspector, All.Nélson, as Chairman of the Finance Committee, took occasion to say that in his opinion the Market Committee was: con ducted with economy; and deserved credit for the way their expenditures had been restricted.It was to his knowledge that other! com'pitiees had sent in accounts, amotnting in one instance to © 5,000.Ald.Holland ssid he was vety thankful to the Chairman of the Finance Committee for his appreciation of the management of his committee, The Chairman then submitted a list of the market stalls, - ents, etc., to be laid before the Council, Carried.meeting then adjourned.COMMERCIAL.Dec.8.There were withdrawn from the Bank of England, on the 5th inst., £100,000 sterling in American eagles for New York.Mr.D.S Eaatweod, assignee, left Olawea for Chicago yesterday, to interview Le- gault, the absconding merchant who is now confined in jail there.The traffic earnings of the Grand Trunk Failway for week ending December lst, were $202,509 against $160,828 for the cor- Tegponding period last year.Increase, $41,- 681.In \u2018the insolvent case of Baseet vs.Latour, at Aylmer, Judge Bourgeois refused the ap- lication of the plaintiffs to examina a Bank anager as to the facts within his knowledge regarding the general management of.the: insolvent cstatc and his transactions with the Bank.Ten dollar notes of the Consolidated Bank have been circulated among the merchants at Ottawa, Port Hope, amd other western towns, although the Bank has not issued any notes of that denomination.It is thought that the spurious notes now current belong to the issue which was contemplated over a year ago, as a number of new ten dollar bills, uncountersigned, Were stolen about that time belonging to the above Bank.The stolen forms were dated 1st July, 1876, and numbered A 12,001 to 13,000, B 12,001 to 13,000, C 12,001 to 18,000, D 12,001 to 13,000.We mention this again as a sufficient warning.THE O/TAW\\ FAILURE.In Chambers yesterday, at Ottawa, Judge Ross presiding, Mr.Larmonth moved to set aside the writ of attachment moved by Mrs, Hunton, Mr.Fred.Hunton, a partner, was sworn.He testified that for twelve months he had known the firm was insolvent ; he also said his mother\u2019s claim against the estate was over $11,099, and that the firm had no money to pay.In order to get at the exact figures regarding.the claim, he and bis brother Arthur went to the store one night, in the absence of the other partner, and carried away the books to the offiee of his mother\u2019s legal adviser, at- midnight.The total liabilities of the firm sre :\u2014 Claxton & Co., Montréal, $66,000;

but it is the old story over again, the G.T.R.Company use Montreal Merchants just as they please, when navig.- tion is closed.Then, again, I find on enquiry that a large amount of freight from Liverpool is carried to towns 400 miles west of Montreal at the same through rate that is paid here, and it has been done for ac tually less, I am told\u2014this is benefiting our city with a vengeance, especially when 1b is gererally conceded that the leading interest of the G.T.R.should be to encourage all the trade possible to this centre, and make it more decidedly the leading distributing point for Canada.Itis well- known that western dealers import a large proportion of their goods via New York and Suspension Bridge, and from which the Grand Trunk derive no benefit, while they receive nine-tenths, or I might say all, that our merchants briug into the country.In view of this we may reasonably ask for a lower scale of rates, than that established for winter, to all points west.There is no doubt but that all parties will profit by this course.I have taken this means of drawing the'attention of the Grand Trunk authorities to what may be safely called a grievance.Yours truly, \u201cONE WHO F2ELS IT.\u201d The Volunteers.To the Editor of» THE STAR : Sir,\u2014The article in your Saturday's issue, with reference to \u2018the acquiring of information apperiaining to their duties by the officers and non-commissioned officers of the Volunteer Militia, will assuredly meet with the cordial approval of thos3 concerned, This great difficulty has presented itself so forcibly to one in command that, sometime since, a letter was addressed to the Lieut.-General commanding the militia drawing his attention to the tackand submitting the great advantage it would be to the officers and non-com- missioned officers, if arrangements could be made by which the A and B Batteries of Artillery might become the medium of conveying instraction to infantry as well as to artillery officers.I, for my part, see no difficalty, but I hear that such has been raised by reason of the paucity of men able to be detailed forinfantry duty.It has been the rule of late te allow officers of infantry to be attached to the Schools of Gunnery.The batteries were never raised for such a purpose.Increase them if possible, and give every officer a fair chance of learning his duty as an infantry soldier.The information gained would be invaluable, I agree with you in every word of your article.Through very many years of experience in every grade from that of a private to the position of a commanding officer, I have found the officers and non- commissioned officers the weak spot in the militia armour ; though, of course, thers are exceptions, and very clever ones.The Militia Department has re-opened the Military Schodis in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.I am no advocate for the re-opening of the gchools in Ontario or Quebec, They have scrved their purpose ;

obliged to reject Jarge numbers of advertisements, and people bave in some cases offered double The anxiety to secure insertion has manifested itself in rates to be assured a place, a variety of ways ingenious and otherwise.The disappointment experienced by these advertisers has been very keen on learning that there was an insurmountable obstacle in the way ; that by an inflexible rule of our office we cannot recognize the importance of advertising orders excepting in the exact order in which they are received, whether they be great or small, and that under no circumstances whatever will we deviate from our established rates to give We have enlarged the paper, but even with the in- any advertiser precedence.creased room at our command we cannot promise to accommodate all who are making application for space.Those who wish to secure insertion on any particular day should present their orders at the office one or two days in advance.In this way, but in no other, can we hope to give satisfaction to all.+ ANew Departure.The reformation of inebriates has occupied the attention of the Common Council of Boston for some time past, and commissioners having been appointed to enquire into the subject, their report has just been made public.They are of opinion that fines and short terms of imprisonment rarely effect any reformation, as the uncontrollable appetite for stimulant is the source of the mirchief, To destroy this appetite the commissioners believe that not less than a year of total abstinence is necessary ; and leaving the question of criminality to be dealt with separately, they recommend that inebriates be not sentenced to a fixed term of imprisonment, but that they be committed to an asylum for a year or more, with discretionary power in the hands of the proper authorities to grant probationary absence, during whioh absence they should be kept under surveillance.Desperate diseases require desperate remedies.Mr.Anglin and the Speakership.The First Commoner is precluded by the rules of the House from saying anything in his own defence, even when he has a good case, which Mr.Anglin never had, To place Mr.Anglin once more in the Speaker\u2019s chair, where he would present a vulnerable mark for the shafts of the Opposition without the power ofreturning a blow, would be as cruel as it would be impolitic.We are for this reason inclined to believe the statement which comes from Ottawa that he will not be re-elected Speaker of the House of Com - mons, but that he may, on a vacancy occurring, be called upon to accept a portfolio in the administration.On the floor of the House, either as the member for Gloucester or as a Minister of the Crown, Mr.Anglin may at least have the melancholy satisfaction of retort'ng upon his tormentors, whose hands are not all clean.Mr, Til- ley\u2019s term of office will soon expire, and if, following the precedents in the case of the appointments to the lieutenaut-governor- ships of Quebac, the North.West Territories, and Manitoba, a member of the Government is selected to succeed Mr.Tilley as Lieut.- Governor of New Brunswick, a place on the Treasury benches will be found for Mr, Anglin.Sugar Making and the Award.A deputation consisting of Sir Narcisse Belleau, Col.Rhodes, Mr.Owen Murphy and ethers, waited upon Mr.DeBoucher- ville the other day with the intention of as.cerlaining if the provincial government were prepared to pay at one payment the whole cf the premium of $70,000 offered for the encouragement of the manufacture of beet root sugar.Mr.DeBoucherville, for a wonder, declsred that his government was not prepared to do this.Commenting on the answer given to the deputation, Ze Courrier says it must not be forgotten that the resources of the Province are at this moment pledged to the last penny for the prosecution of the great railway enterprises undertaken or subsidised by the government ; and that under such circumstances it would be wun.warrantable to exact further sacrifices for the encouragement of any industry, Ze Courrier, however, fertilein expedients, sees a way out of the difficulty and hastens to communicate the wonderful scheme devised by itself for the benefit of the public of Que.bec\u2014 Quebec, which has now two representatives in the Cabinet at Ottawa.The Federal Government, says Le Courrier, will receive five millions from the United States ; why should it not encourage in each prov- inee of the Confederation the establishment of a vast beet root sugar manufactory ?Let Mr.Mackenzie, continues this unsophisticated journal, take from these five millions a sum of seven hundred thousand dollars, and grant to every province one hundred thousand for this object and the thing is done.This suggestion is eminently practical, and we have only to add that the balance of the five millions (when we have them) mig t be advantageously expended in encouraging the manufacture of maplesugar.It is surprising Le Courrier did not think of this.Lord Derby's Views.In view of the rumored coming retira- ment of Lord Beaconsfield from the cabinet and tho accession of Tord Derby to the PremiersLif, the recent utteranzes of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs will be read with interest.The Standard says : * At a time when the Government is accused of not krowing its own mind, and not having a definite policy on the Eastern question, the country will read with interest Earl Derby's speech to the deputation which Waited on him to inform him that Constan.1 cramp RE tinople was in danger, and that he raally ought to do something, especially if he could get Austria to help him.The Foreign Secretary was able to point out that the policy of the present Government, to wit: The abandonment of Tarkey, except so far as our own interests required that we should resist her enemies, was resolved upon and declared even before the agitation concerning the outrages in Bulgaria.Having thus reassured his audience that the policy of the Government was not dictated by St.James\u2019 Hall, and would not be altered by it, Lord Derby was able also to say :\u2014¢ We have spoken in as strong terms as diplomatic usage permits of the necessity of not allowing Constantinople to passinto other hands than those that now hold it.Upon that point I can only refer you to the language we held at the beginning of the war, from which we do not intend to depart in the slightest degree.\u201d Lord Darby's second point was that, although we need not yet talk of intervention, still, should it come to that, we must not rely upon Austria.Oae of the deputation had said that Austria was ready to do something provided Eugland encouraged her.The reply was explicit :\u2014 \u2018I think I can lay claim for myself that I bave missed no opportunity of knowing v hat are the idess and feelings of the Austrian Government, and I content myself with expressing my dissent from this opinion.\u201d\u201d City News.SocrAL.\u2014The members of the Young People\u2019s Association of St.James Streat Methodist Church held a social reunion last evening, in the lecture -room of the

town of St.Cuuegonde has decided to purchase the small size Clapp & Jones engine which was brought on for exhibition by the agent here some time ago.SCIENTIFIC LECTURE.\u2014An interesting scientific lecture was delivered in the basement of Emmanuel Church last evening by Dr.J.Baker lAwards, the title being ¢ Daily Bells,\u201d The Rev.Mr.Stevenson occupied the chair.Although the name of the lecture bespoke something of a light and fanciful character, it was in reality quite the reverse, being profoundly learned and instructive, but at the same time by the mode of handling it was made perfectly plain and entertaining to the audience.The lecturer treated the subject astronomically, chemically and mythologically, illustrating the \u2018\u201c harmony of the spheres\u2019\u2019 and the chemical nature of the metals which represent the several planets.In illustration of Jupiter and his thunder bolts, the lecturer exhibited brilliant electrical experiments with the aid of a powerful induction coil and rarified gases.The lecture was als» illustrated by musical experiments.The audience was highly appreciative.A vote of thanks was accorded Dr.Edwards at the close on behalf of the Ladies\u2019 Aid Society.St.Paul\u2019s Church Bazaar.This bazaar closed last night, having been a complete success.The number of articles disposed of was very encouraging, and the amount

comparatively empty towards night, and at the close very few articles remained, Noon Telegrams.Magnificent Donation.Lonnow, Dec.8\u2014The Marquis of Bute has contributed £170,000 for the endowment of

Baptist church in that village, and for many years was looked up to as an excmplarof piety.The preliminary examination in the case showed that, if not a murderer, he is at least a hypocrite.His wife died, and poison was found in her stomach.He tried to hire the chemist for $350 to report to the contrary.Lon, before this the villagers noticed that he often walked home from religious meetings with Mrs.Champlin, a pretty milliner, whose husband seems to have been very blind to her conduct.One evening the deacon was seen to kiss Mrs.Champlin at the gate.Mrs.Champlin was an attendant at the deathbed of Mrs.Smith, and on that occasion the deacon was caught hugging as well ag kissing her.He said he was simply expressing his gratitude for her kindness, and promptly offered to do the same to all the other women present.Mrs.Champlin is also held for trial.READ THIS TWICE.\u2014Five to thirty drops of Dr.THomAs\u2019 ECLECTRIC OIL, will cure common Sore Throat.It never fails in Croup.It

outnumbered by those who fall a prey to lung diseases, and consequently legion are the remedies proposed, but there is none so effectual for all pulmonary diseases as Gray\u2019s Syrup of Red Spruce Gum, it is thoroughly efficacious snd yet as harmless and safe a remedy as can be used, ASTONISHING Success.\u2014It is the duty of every person who has used Boschee\u2019s German Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases.No person can use it without immediate relief.Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Druggists to recommend it to the poor dying consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported.Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot be too widely known.Ask your Druggist about it.Sample bottles to try sold at 10 cents.Regular size 75

M.P.P., and Mayor of the town, who arrived by the North Shore Railway on Sunday, left last evening for their homes at four o'clock.The train on which they embarked crossed over the new Batiscan Bridge, which was not completed on Sunday last, and passed through to Three Rivers.Withthe exception of crossing the bridga is almost completed over the St.Maurice river.This latter bridge is almost

named Pierre Nolet was sent to jail yesterday at the St.Cunegonde Police Court for two months, for stealing old chain and iron, valued at $10, from the yard of Mr.P.Kennedy, corner Vinet and Delisle streets.The theft was committed on the bth inst.,, and not long afterward the prisoner attempted to sell the articles at a second-hand store, kept by one Ladursniaye, on Workman street, who, suspecting they had been stolen, reported the matter to Kennedy, who had the offender arrested on a warrant and brought before Police Magistrate Corbeille, with the result as stated.\u2014 The Town Council having decided to buy the small size Clapp & Jones fire engine which has been housed in a: hed close to the station for some time past,it was taken to a tank on Delisle street yesterday afternocn for trial.The test was satisfactory, and tke councillors and other gentlemen present express themseives well pleased with its general working.The ergine, with reel, will cost £3,600.Several engineers have been named to see that it isin good order and the parts complete.Now that the councillors bave bought an engine, the difficulty is where to locate it, asthe police station, though large, cannot conveniently do so, as arrangements exist at present.The hose will have to be bought at once, asthe corporation may have the town burned down before their eyes, which would be very dis- | ngreeable after all the expense to which the izhabitants have been subjected.The contract with the St.Henri brigade expires in a few weeks\u2014The waterworks project has been abendoncd for the present, the general opinion being that the company who wanted to work the scheme by paying their own expenses and collecting taxes at a remunerative rate for a period of twenty-five years, with the right of extending that period, required farfmore privileges than it would be prudent to give.The Medical Forgery Case, Dr.Gilbert's cross-examination continued \u20141 remember stating to some friends that 1 had sufficient confidence in Dr.Worthing- ton's sincerity to enable me to agree to a reconciliation which, on my part, if it took place, would be sincere, without taking some security from Dr.Worthington that he would be sincere, and that, therefore, the only terms upon which I could agree to a reconciliation, or any negotiations being entered into, would be that of a business partnership being entered into, comprising himself, myself and my son, as I considered by that means his own interest would prevent his endeavoring to undermine me.A mutual friend, therefore, I believe, suggested this to Dr.Worthing- ton.The Mr.Ives mentioned was the mutual friend to whom I refer, andlhe volunteered his services in the matter.Some little time after this conversation with Mr.Ives tock place, my son, who had just graduated, had an advantageous offer to join in partnership with another practitioner, at a distance, but before accepting such offer he wisbed to ascertain whether there was any likelihood of the arrangement spoken of being effected, and I therefore asked Mr.Ives if he would ascertain what was likely to be the result of his negotiation as soon as convenient.1 did not employ Mr.Ives professionally fo negotiate the partnership.1 donot know that on the day I went in pursuit of Dr.Worthington he was on legitimate business at Hatley ; it may have been so, but even if so it would not account for the fact of Dr.Worthington staying at Massawippi several hours, and calling repeatedly at Dr.Mines\u2019 house, who resides off the main road, and for his having requested Dr.Mines when he did find him at home, to show bim his license.Dr.Mines said Dr.Worthington asked him to show him his license, He did not show him the license, for said license was in my pocket, probably some miles distant at the time.Before going into the investigation before the Board I might have told Dr.Fenwick that ¥ believed Dr.\u2018Worthington had taken the ltegpses for Beatty and Mines and filled themtip himself and issued them ; thatcertainly, was my suspicion, but I do not remember saying so to Dr.Fenwick.I cannot say if the meeting of the College at Three Rivers in July was a general meeting of the College for a specific purpose, viz., for the purpose of organizing fer a new Board.I have not stadied law sufficiently to be able to give a definite apswer.I was under the impression that it might be done.I think this was done at a previous triennial meeting of the Medical CAB | N ET CO L LA A, élhAOTRP DAME STABET.\u2018| ATREAL DAILY STAR SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1877.C 20 years ago, but I may be ing use of the expression ss ; induce the Board to give a liceï to Dr.Mines at that meeting.\u201d I do not think these words show that I was of opinion that the Board had no absolute right to grant a license at that meeting.They were not used in that sense at all.But I suppose that had the Board the power to grant licenses at that meeting, it would be optional with them whether they exercised that power or mot.I do not recollect having seen Dr, Mines\u2019 McGill diploma, but fully believe he has one,but this would give him no right to a license to practice without presenting himself and diploma for examination before the Medical Board.Adjourned ti 1 Wednesday next, 12th inst, at 2.p.m.Special Notices.REMEMBER the auction sale of

but before the judgment was rendered in the Court of Review, another capias was issued by Blakeney, and also one by Gibb for a still smaller debt, $41.It was in order to be released from these two writs that the present application was wade.The insolvent had done all that the Act required him to do, so far as it was in his power.Mr.Menk, for the creditors, contesting, said he agreed with his learned friend that much of the evidence was irrele- vent, but that was the fault of the insolvent in mot answering questions more directly.He submitted that no case had been made out to entitle the insolvent to the relief asked for.He had produced no books.It appeared that he had no office and never had an office in Montreal.He would call the attention of the Court to the schedule of assets made by the insolvent.The first item consisted of a claim against Converse for travelling expenses.lt was only necessary to refer to the partnership agreement to see that this claim was utterly unfounded.Then came a claim for profits on sales of silks.To prove that this was equally unfounded, he would be satisfied to depend omly on the evidence of the insolvent himself, Then as to the goods in the hands of Benning & Bar- salou, these were not assets at all.The whole schedule was purely fictitious.Mr.Lunn in reply said the fact of the insolvent placing among his assets claims which might be more or less doubt ful was no ground for refusing his discharge, The Act required that be should not wilfully conceal, retain, or dispose of any part of his estate, and there was nothing whatever disclosed in the evidence which ceuld support a charge of that kind against him, But it was his duty to inform his assignee and creditors of any claims which bis estate might have against third parties, and it was for the interest of the creditors that these claims should tura out good.But\u2014strange to say\u2014Messrs.Blakeney and Gibb, though creditors, were doing their utmost to discredit them, and they had called Mr.Converse as their witness to prove that the claim against him was utterly unfounded! Enough money had been spent in useless law proceedings to pay both their claims in fall.As regards books, no books could be produced by Mr.Sturges because the books relating to the silk business had been kept by Mr Converse and the insolvent could mot obtain access to them, or even get an account.The insolvent had complied with the law, as far as lay in his power, and was entitled to ask the court for relief from oppressive proceedings.The case was taken en delibere, FINANCIAL.Dec.8.The money market continues quiet but steady.Call and time loans on collaterals command 6 to 7 per ceut,, and forfirst-class mercantile paper the rate is7 per cent.Sterling exchange is dull at 83 for round amounts between banks and 8% counter rates, Gold drafts at par to 1-16 premium.Gold in New Ycrk 1022.Sterling exchange in New York, 481.The stcck market was firmer all round this miorning, although a very small business transpired.It is denied in Toronto that a bull \u201cclique\u201d in Bank cf Montreal stock exists in that city, but whether thie be true or not it is pretty generally conceded that there has been a strong bear movement in this stock, it having been sold short to a considerable extent.\u2019 The following sales occurred at the Regular Stock Exchange to.day :\u20141 Montreal, 158% ;

And that, it wes clear, was where Es gene's suspicion rested.In the picture he drew of Ada's wretched slave be saw a gen.tlenisaly villain, fall of nerve and fine physical power\u2014the man who could grap the details of a deep, deliberate plot, and go through his foul work to the bitter end, undeterred by remorse or fear, \u201cShall we write to Laurence !\u201d\u2019 asked Julia.: \u201cNot yet, dear.Wait till I have been.to Brookdale ; then, if my suspicion is strengthened by what I see, I will go to London and consult withhim.I have such a dread of amother Brookdals scandal that ! would rather do what we have to do quietly,\u201d The mors he thought of it that day the stropger grew his comviction that he had \u2018ouclfed upou the truth.Eugene did not give himself up to thinking deeply as a rule.When he did there was no lack of 'UWeT, ! \u2018* The truth of the story poor Hawkins told us hinges oa one thing,\u201d he said, \u201cand 1lat is direct proof that the young man known as Theudore really died ; but last Lights work makes me think he told the uuth, and this man Darrill, the husband of the wretched women Uncle Clarence married, waylaid and killed him, to ensure his silence,\u201d i * How terrible it isto think men will do such things,\u201d said Julia.¢ If he is so desperately wicked, darling, it is scarcely safe for you to trust yourself at Brook- dale.\u201d He smiled.\u201cYou forget, my pet, Everard and Margaret sre there, besides the servants ; and even if I proved the worst I should say nothing then.I should go straight to London and \u2018bring Laurence down.\u201d \u201c Yes,\u201d said Julia, gathering a sense of security from the bare mention of Mr.Dray- ton\u2019s name, ,*that weuld be best.\u201d Now that his course of action was decided upon, Eugene acted with a decision which made Julia admire him.The necessity for energy threw his irresolution aside, and showed that he bad plenty of determination\u2019in reserve.Hè did not trifle away the ustal hour afcer breakfast next morning.He made short work of a light article or so in one of the magazines, and did not wait for the newspaper.The London press went somewhat tardily to that seaside remoteness.Had London tsken fire in the night, and burned from Shoreditch to St.James's Palace, the tidings would not have arrived therein print 1ill half past ten.Eugene was dressed an hour earlier than that, When he came io to kiss Julia, as was his custom when going out, she noticed thatbe had made no change in his ordinary attire.He wore a plain short coat, fastened: Ly a single button across his chest, though the morning was chilly.\u2018\u201c Fut on an overcoat,\u201d she said; ¢'it is colder then you think,\u201d ¢*1 shall not be too cold walking.\u201d * But if you wait anywhere, or if you go into the town ?\u201d \u201cIf it will please yo, Julia,\u201d he said; \u201c\u2018but-Ireally do not-want it.\u201d § 7 F-4-hcd him a vréht\"epat from the D \u20ac Ci dem Shhucuy dy ASSURE TO THB CUAL Wd\u201d folds under protest.If does feel better, though.And if, as is not impossible, I.should go straight from Brookdale to London, 1 shall not be sorry I' let you persuade me.\u201d \u201c\u2018 Bat you would not go without first com - ing back to me ?\u201d \u2018\u2018 It wonld be a question -oftime, dear.I hate slow trains; and if I have to see Laurence, I should go by the two-twenty express.\u201d ¢ And if you do, will you send me a telegram directly you arrive ¥\u2019 ¢ Before I leave the station at London- bridge.\u201d ¢¢ Promise me,\u201d My darling little sister, that is my promise,\u201d So hie kissed her, and co they parted.She watclred his slight and graceful figure with affectionate admiration as he went up the slope which led to Brookdale with a manlier and firmer step than she was acous- tomed-to-ceë, Still she could not help thinking how Tittle fit her fair young brother wüs-to face the great Babylon in search of work.Het last words would have been a caution 10 hm to be careful how he dealt with the man he suspected ; but Eugene was proud, and took advice impatiently.He was brave, too, after the manner of - his race, and to tell him to beware of danger was to send him headlong into it.When Eugene reached the house he was received by Margaret.She did the honors of the place as in his day.There was something inexplicable in her greeting of him \u2014a tinge of sadness, of tenderness, of pity\u2014he scartely knew what ; but the strong clasp of her arm round his neck, and her long loving kiss made him look at her in surprise.He did not misconstrae either\u2014she was his senior by many years, and to her he seemed but a boy still.He was surprised, because she was generally reserved, rarely demonstrative, \u201c Everard told me you were coming,\u201d she said, \u2018\u2018and I was glad you had broken your unkind resolution.It will bethe first of many, thie\u2014\u2014\u201d * Visit, you were about to say,\u201d he said, locking round the room with a half-sad sigh.\u2018I do not think so, Margaret.I can bear to look on Brookdale from a distance, and remember it was mine ; but I could not bear to come here, and have to remember it is mine no lenger.\u201d Miss Grantley sighed too, and pressed bis hand.There was a woman's genuine sympathy, and something more in that pressure, They hed a little conversation concerning the new inmates, and Margaret praised Edward Temple as her brother had done, but not with so much fervor.Everard came in presently, bringing Edward with him.Margaret watched the two yourg men curiously, as they stood- face to- face.They were alike, but certainly with\u2019 a difference\u2014similar in height, similar in figure, and the resemblaroe could be traced in them, feature by featare ; but the culture of a Crichton, and the wealth of Midas, could not have given to Edward Danvers Temple the case ot high-bred stateliness which made Eugene strike every sense at once with the impression that he was a pure and perfect gentleman.Mr.Grantley introduced them with a bow.It was characteristic of his own lofty grace that he dispensed with the commonplace formalities in presenting to each other two young men who knew each other so well by repute.He led Edward to Eugene, and said, simply\u2014 \u201c I know you will be friends.\u201d \u2018\u201c f my good wishes are enough for both,\u201d said Edward, \u2018\u2019we are friends al\u201d ready.\u201d He held out his hand frankly, There was no resisting this.Eugene never took his suspicions withhim into the presence of the persons he suspected, He never saw the character of friend or/enemy closely while enemy or friend was with him, His instinct told him what they were when he thought of them in solitude.In their presence he was governed by the impulse of the moment, or else he blinded the truths of instinct with the sophistry of reason.\u2018I am sorry now,\u201d he said, shaking the other\u2019s hand, that we have not met be- fire,\u201d ¢\u2018 Everard flashed an almost imperceptible smile at his sister, Margaret turned a way with a sigh.\u201cIam so glad you have come,\u201d said Edward, wringing his hand warmly,\u201d ¢ that I scarcely know what to say.I had almost arranged a speech to receive you with ; but it is gone to the winds now.Ihave not had the benefit of such culture as yours, you see, Cousin Eugene, and I should get on awkwardly enough if it were not for Mr.Grantley and Miss Grantley,\u201d : \u201cYou will seem more at home,\u201d said Eugene, kindly, ¢ when you are accustomed to our English habits.I daresay they seem formal snd cold to you.\u201d \u201cI shall never feel at home here,\u201d said Edward, ¢ until you return and let me be your guest.That was my wish from the first.I never wanted you to resign Brook.dale to me.When they found out who I was, and something about law was suggested to me, I said, * No ; my cousin is an English gentleman, and he will not refuse me a welcome and a small share of his plenty.If he does, why, I will be content with the name my father chose for me, and the little he left me to live on.\u201d This was noble, It nearly brought tears to Eugene\u2019s eyes\u2014the sentiment was so en- tircly~ like his gn.Had the dead Mr.Iamkins stepped into the room, and repeated his Story, with the solemnity of the grave upon him to attest its truth, Eugene would rather have believed him a lost irit, moved by the Evil One, than doubted the good faith of his cousin Edward, \u201cForgive me,\u201d said Eugene.\u201cI have wronged you very much ;

The effect, on the whole, ofthe great number of inventions that have been made, is most beneficial ; but at the same time they are attended by their drawbacks, Where go much can be done by machinery the ten- dercy of the age is to leave everything to be done by machinery, and to infer that personal knowledge and skill have lost their: value, The feeling wl ich prevails may be illustrated by an anecdote of a young.college graduate to whom an editor, after looking over one of his reports, said, Your pointing and spelling are very erronsous.\u201d \u201cWhy,\u201d replied the astonished youth, \u201c1 thought the printer attended to] those things!\u201d Machinery accomplishes so much that a tendency has arisen to leave to machinery the accomplishment of everything.: It is melancholy to reflect how many young, healthy, strong, full-grown men there are in this country to-day, who, if asked the great question : ¢ What ean you do?\u201d would be obliged, in conseience, to auswer, \u2018\u2018 Nothing, as it ought to be done.\u201d GEMS OF THOUGHT.A handful of good life is worth a bushel of learning, A gentle reply to seurri'ous language is the most severe revenge.: It usually falls out that those who seek \u2018others\u2019 destruction find their own.Prosperity seems to be scarcely safe unless it be mixed with little adversity.E Aman\u2019s own good breeding is the best security against other people's ill manners, He who, with health has a tone wife, a dutiful child, and a true friend, may laugh adversity to scorn, and defy the world.The thing that makes young men strong is moral courage\u2014high, undaunted courage or, to put it in a'single, sinewy, Saxon word \u2014 grit.Do not despise the opinion of\" the world\u2019; you might as well say that you care not a Bg for the light of the sun, because you can find a candle.If at any time you are pressed to do a thing hastily, be careful ; fraud and\u2019 deceit are always in haste ; diffidence is the right eye of prudence, The sweetest bedfellow is\u2014 conscience, conscience.Ha! it\u2019s a charming thing to fcel her at our heart\u2014to hear her evening song and morning song.- Would you touch a nettle without being stung by it ; take hold of it stoutly.Do the same to other annoyances, and but few things will ever annoy you, The best capital for a®young man to start with in life is industry, good sense, courage, and sincere piety.It is better than all the credit or cash that was ever raised.Gentleness is a sort of mild atmosphere, and it enfers into a child\u2019s soul lies the sun; shine into the- rese-bud, slowly but surely expanding i into beauty and vigor.The grestést fool is he who imposes on himself, and in Is greatest comcern thinks certainly he knows that which he has least\u2019 studied, and of which he is most profoundly ignorant.Prosperity too often has the same effect on a Christian that a calm sea has on a Dutch mariner, who frequently, itis said, in these circumstances, ties up the rudder, gets drunk, and goes to sleep.Perhaps the best form of government in which the whole community could join, is that in which every one learns how to govern himself, before he commences showing his authority over other people.Justice is as strictly due between two neighbor nations es between two neighbor citizens, A highwayman is as much a robber when he plundersin a gang as whon sin- J Fach has his talent and because some have ten talents, that iano reason why he who has but one should not put it out tr interest ; pay, thaths has [but one is the strongest of all reasons, since the less -we have the more it behoves us to use: exertion to make something of it.How independent of money peace of conscience is, and how much happiness can bs condensed in the humblest home! A cottage will not hold the bulky furniturs and: sump uous accommodations of a mansion; but, if God be there, a cottage will hold as much happiness as might stock a palace.The tree of knowledge is one that should yield a common food to all men.Taxes on knowledge are so many government deagons chained about the tree ;

flesh gained (85 per pound), $50; in feeling, $500; to his amily, $10,000; total, $10,625, In an address before the Social Science Association at Aberdeen recently, the Lord Ad- voeate said :-\u2014¢ I did not venture te assert that excessive indulgence in strong drink will in every case and certainly lead to other immoralities, or to crime.But no one who hes had experience in dealing with the criminal classes of the population can entertain the least doubt that intemperance is the dead weighy which keeps those classes sunk in poverty and vice\u2014that it is the very almosphere in which crime thrives and spreads ; and that, while it fosters guilt of every description, à \u2018arge portion of the most, serious crimes\u2014savage assaults, and even murder\u2014are directly traceable to its influence.He who champions the cause of the workingman falls short of his duty if he fails to warn him against one common enemy, the liquor saloon.If you are not a temperance man, there is all the more reason why you should look this subject fairly in the face.The saloon is not an industrial concern, It neither feeds nor clothes you.It adds neither to your comforts nor enjoyments, It is a trap place upon nearly every corner, to catch your money without giving a profitable return, It absorbs a portion of your earnings, and leaves yom none the better for it, but very likely much the worse in morals, health, pocket and self-respect.You know that this is so, if yon stbp tb think, The seeds off numberless evils, and none whatever of good to mankind, grow in these hot-beds of corruption.We beg our friends, the workingmen, to avoid liquor\u2014 saloons, If you can find no othor suciety nor place of resort, you are indeed unfortunate ; but better none than such as thas lower your manhood and your parse.In a recent letter to an Indiana paper, Col.Robert G.Ingersoll says that the only \u2018\u2018temperance speech \u2018\u2019 he ever made was in what was known as the Munn trial in Chicago when he made these few remarks on alochol : \u201c1 believe gentlemen, that alochol to a certain degree demoralizes those who make \u2018if, those who sell it, and those who drink it.I believe that from the time it issues from the coiled and poisoned worm of the distillery until it empties into the hell of crime, dishonor, and death, it demoralizes everybody that touches it, from its source toits end.I do not believe that anybody can contemplate the subject without becoming prejudiced egainst that liquid crime.All we have to do, gentlemen, is to think of the wrecks upon either bank of this stream of death\u2014 of the suicides\u2014of the insanity \u2014 of the poverty\u2014of the ignorance\u2014of the destitution\u2014of the little children tugging at the faded dresses of weeping and despairing wives asking for bread\u2014of the men of genius 1t has wrecked\u2014of the millions struggling with imaginary serpents produced by t.us devilish thing ; and when you think of the jails, of the alms.houses, of the asylums, of the prisons, and of scaffolds upon either bank, I do not wonder that every thoughtful man is prejudiced against that damned stuff called alcohol.\u201d In a sermon preached in the Metropolitin Tabernacle, on Sunday morning 28rd Sep-., Rev.Mr.Spurgeon said : \u2018* It is imposstole to serve sin and Christ.Favorite and constitutional sins mass ba reliuquished, I know many persons who say that they are under concern.of soul, whoss sincerity I more than question, becaæse they continus in known sin, and yet they complain they cannot find peace.How can they?If you meet with a person who drinks on the sly and is frequently hslf-intoxicated, if you hear him say that he cannot find rest in Christ, do you wonder?Do you feel that he is a hypocrite?How can men and- women frequently fuddle themselves with drink and yet hope to be children of God ?Give up your abominable drinking, Do you think Christ is going to save sots and let them continue to make beasts of them.selv:s?To prate about being saved and in secret worship the bottle, is clear lying, and next door to blasphemy.Talk about having a Saviour and continue to get drunk ; I marvel that you donot perish like Ananias and Sapphira.Another manis carrying on his trade in a way which is dishonest, and yet be cants and whines about not finding peace with Ged.Do not his words condemn him ?What has he to do with pescé?How cen he continue in sin and yet be saved from \u2018sin?Oh, sirs, be not deceived ; your sins: \u2018and you must part, or Jesus will \u2018have nothing to do with you.\u201d Indiana has some earnest, practical temperance men and women who keep the State agitated and the liquor fraternity constantly at work to repeal Baxter laws and outwit the good women who watch the Commissioners\u2019 offices that no licenses aro granted unlawfully, Their temperance paper, The Advance Guard, is widely scattered, they have an able corps of temperance lecturers, every county is thoroughly organized and oonventions are held in every district.We have just received.reports of these interesting conventions.Among the many resolu.tioms,, such as asking Congress to prohibit the use of liquor as a beverage by any petson in the civil service or in the army or navy, and provide for a commission of enquiry,\u201d ¢ that drunkenness should work a forfeiture of office,\u201d ¢ that temperance men should positively refuse to vote for men who use liquor as a beverage or favor its use by others,\u201d is this, ¢\u201cThat no man in a state of intoxication should be allowed to vote at any public election.\u201d It must be plain to everybody that such a course would be wise, because a man whose brain is confused by liguor cannot vote intelligently, and might ledd a township or a state into grievous error by his vote, Most drinking men neither want license, nor open saloons, and curse the day they first entered one ; their vote for it is only bought by a glass of whiskey or beer, and thus a bad law is fastened upon the people because the brain of the voter was not clear.In France, notwithstanding 80 many persons believe that wine drinking .prevents drunkenness, they have seen the \u2018need of passing the following law : ¢ That \u2018every one condemmed twice by the police for the ctime of open drunkenness is held to be incapable of voting, of election eligibility, and of being named for the jury and any public offices.\u201d Drunkenness should as certainly disqualify a man from voting as from holding office.If he is not sufficiently clear in mind to fill a position of honor and trust, he is not sufficiently clear in mind or judgment to know who is fitted for that position.Of course the above law could not do its full work, for some of the worst cases of drunkenness in high life never come into the custody of the police, though they ought to do so.We cannot see the consistency, however, in disfranchising everybody known to be a drunkard without à like penalty far all who are kmows to make drunkards.If oriminals inside of prison walls are disfranchised, surely criminals outside of prison walls should be,and we do not know of a more criminal offence than to make or to sell the poison that makes wrecks or paupers of those who would other- wide be the best of citizens., These men scriiple at nothing 80° that money may flow info their coffers; They whe s6 burden the country and: corrupt seciety are unfitted surely to take part in anything that concerns its welfare.If we touch the vigtim, by all means let us touch the vic- timizer, : MISCELLANEOUS, A cheerful temper in a house is like perpetual sunshine, gladdening and enlivening every one, in the presence of which you forget your troubles and would be ashamed to remember your annoyances ;

consequenily, dying with that which sustained it.Hence we can scarcely go over a page of history that we do not, asin a churchyard, tread upon some buried reputation.But fame cannot be voted down, having its immediate foundation in the essential, It is the eternal shadow of excellence, from which it can never be separated,; noi is it ever made visible but in the light of an intellect kindred with that of its author.It is that light which projects the shadow which is seen of the multitude, to be wondered at and reverenced, even while so little comprehended as to be often confounded with the ; substance\u2014the substance being sente] from the shadow, as a matter of faith.is the economy of Providence to provide such lights ; like rising and setting stars, they follow each other through successive ages ; and thus the monumental form of Genius stands forever relieved against its own imperishable shadow, In order to achieve some good work which you have much at heart, you may not be able to secure an entire week or even an uninterrupted day.But try what you can make of the broken fragments of time, Clean up its golden dust\u2014those raspings and pas.ings of precious duration\u2014those leavings of the days and remnants of hours, which may soon sweep out into the waste of existence, And thus, if you be a miser of moments\u2014if you be fiugal, and hoard up old minutes and half hours, and unexpected holidays \u2014 your clearings may eke out a long and useful life, and you may die at last, richer in existence than multitudes whose time is all their own.That which some men waste in superfluous slumber, and idle visits, and desultory application, were it all redeemed, would give them wealth of leisure, and enable them to execute undertakings for which they deem a less worried life than theirs needful.When a person says, * I have no time to read the Bible, no time to improve my mind, or to do a kind turn to & neighbor,\u201d he may be saying what he thinks, but he should not think what lie says; for if he bas not the time already, he may get it by 1cdeeming it.Two things are necessary to the attainment of strength of character\u2014power of will and power of self-restraint, We often mistake strong feelings for strong character.A man who bears all before him, before whose frown domestics tremble, and whose bursts of fury make the children of the household squake\u2014 because he has hiswill obeyed, and his own way in all things\u2014we call him a strong man.The truth is, that is the weak man ; it is his passions that are strong ; he, mastered by them, is weak.You must measure the strergth of a man by the power of the feelings he subdues, not by the power of these which subdue him.Nor is it common sense to suppose that because a man is in the habit of displaymg a great deal of the lightning of a fiery temper, he has a high temperament ; whereas, the real sign of high temperament, yes, and high breeding, too, is shown by him whose intense feelings are not displayed by blustering signs.Hence composure is often the heat result of strength, Did we ever sec a man receive a- flagrant insult and only grow alittle pale and quietly reply ?That isa man spiritually strong.Or, did we ever see a mau\u2019 in-an- guish stand as if carved ont of selid rock, mastering himself?Or one bearing a hopeless, daily trial, remain silent, and never tell the world what cankeret his home peace.That is strength.He whe, with strong passions, remains chaste ; he who, keenly sensitive, with manly powers of indignation in him, can be provoked and: yet restrain himself, and forgive\u2014these are\u2019 strong men, the spiritual heroes.The things that a man most needs in this world are food, work and sleep: He doesn\u2019t need rickds, honors: op office th live.He needs society because he is made fer it.He must love and be loved ; His-life and-Happi- ness are promoted by: companionship; mutnal dependence and counsel enlarge hope and stimulate-courage; Yet, after all, ho lives if his friends die.There is no grief, no form of bereavement, but it has itsconsola- tion.The Hest preservet of a man\u2019s life is contentment.Nor is work destructive of strength.Men look forward to rest, to a life of ease; which to thent means\u2019 cessation from toil and frem the cares of business.They mistake the cause of weariness.It is not work ; it is care, it is over-exertion, it is ambition and desire after gain that bring worn and weary feelings, All we possess we possess in life ; the sooner we get through with life the soomet we relinquish onr possessions; The faster a man lives the quicker he reaches the end of life.There arethres ends te-life, and death is the last and least desitable.One end is to live.That is why we were created\u2014to live, and as well as we can, Bome go mumuring and groaning on their way, as: though lifs was a burden, and that it is piety to put a low estimate on it.The oppositéistr@s;

when cold the clear oil must be poured off and kept for use.Red sealing wax is made of one pound of yellow resin, 54 ounces of gum lac, 5% ounces of Venice turpentine, an ounce of vemillion.Melt the lac in a copper pan, suspended over a clear fire, add the resin, pour the turpentine slowly in and soon afterwards add 4he vermillion, stirring the mixture all the time.Form into round sticks by rolling out on a smooth stone slab by means of a woeden board, or into oval sticks by casting into stone moulds made in two pieces.Arthur Orton.Mr.W.H.Locke, who is acting as agent in Australia for the persons who maintain the Tichborne agitation in England, is about to take to Great: Britain the man William Cresswell, alias Smith, alias Orton, who is now confined in the Para- matta Lunatic Asylum.Mr.Locke accompanied Mrs.Jury, Orton's sister, to Sydney, and is satisfied with her recognition of the man.Mr.Locke has received a letter from Mr.Guilford Onslow, requesting him, if he could secure the release of Cress well, to bring him to England by the next English Mail.Mr.Locke is awaiting permission from the Government of New South 1}, Jay be prolonged without the use of any Abke consuming fire.Gin, gin, gin;
