A Mdrderodh Assault occurred abont eight o'clock lost evening in a stable otf Scott street, which is not at at all unlikely to be attended by fatal conséquences It appears that two neigh-bora, named re*|>ectively Lomas Fiset and Louis Duperre, used the same stable for their horse*.An altercation took place between the two, in which Duperre claims that Fiset abased bia wife's character, whereupon Duperre smashed a beer bottle upon Fiset\u2019* bead, inflicting two or three very severe cuts, and also bit him on tlie arms and breast, taking away portions of tbe flesh.The noise attracted a number of neighbors to the scene, when Fiset was conveyed to hi* home, and Dr.Fitzpatrick colled, who, nn examining the wounds, found two on the bock of the head and one on the left temple.It ia impoerible to asy whether the wo un ils will prove fatal until to-night.Duperre was instantly arrested and placed in a cell.Fiset is about forty-five years of age, and has a wife and six or seven children, and the prisoner is about twenty-eight.Thk Nokth Shore Railway Link, which woa blocked with snow on Wednesday night, was cleared laat night, some drifts in HL Augustine being from five to six feet deep.A train left here this morning at (>.15 for Montreal, and the exprem will leave at noon as usual.WINDSOR, ONT.[Press Lapalt/i, April 4.)

as he reeled in his saddle he turned found and said, * Tell mother\u2014* but the poor boy got no further with hi- message.Oaring the fight or massacre, which lasted four or hve hours, Cetywayo sat on his horse on a neighboring kopje.He held 5,000 men in reserve in case of need ; but 15,000 were enough for our small for,>e.Of course it was a terrible blunder to leave camp and stores and everything slie so far behind.The roost remarkable event in connection with the fight was the attack made by some 4,000 Zulus on tho commissariat camp at Korke's Drift That very day a young Engineer officer had arrived, and as soon as they heard the firing they commenced to fortify a email thatched house which stood there, and made a barricade with sacks of oats, mealies, and flour.There were only 08 men-the paper saye 100, which is net true, for t heard ths story from a man who was in the place at the time.The enemy came on boldly, but were mown down at close uuarters.Near to waa a small thatched building, which hod been used as a hospital.This they burnt, and five poor fellows in it ; but the light afforded by the burning house lit up the scene and made it worse for the attacking party.They came up so bravely as to get on the sacks to try and light the thatch with burning bushes ; yet they were beaten off.All night they fought, bat retired aa our column came in sight, and must have lost npwsrds of 800 men.It is known Cetywayo intends making a raid Into Natal if bn can ; but I do not see how he is to do it I think for the next two months we shall act on the defensive.Our defeat will alienate much native support.The Swaxioe already refuse to aid us, and it is said the Baantos are in a most unsettled state and very likely to send aid to the Zulus.Our old friends the Pondns are spoken of as going to give us trouble, but that lot I am not afraid of ; they will never fight anylwdy if they can help it.It is said Cetywayo ordered his people to bring him two Englishmen alive and unwounded to hi-kraal, and I hear they have got them.A white man, it is said, was among the Zulus fighting on their side ; but I should hope this was not true.The Zulus, towards the end of the fight, threw awsy their guns and came on with their aeae-gais.They were all the young regiments of picked men, none older than 21 years of age\u2014the ftrf-raters of the Zulu army.THE MONTREAT, DAILY WITNESS.another by Van Byck.In ths dining room were two striking pictures by Teniere, \u2022 grand composition by Wonvermans and an exAiu*tjorough ftiul Teuton.Boni® of these treasures, we believe, were lent by the trustees of the late Duke of Newcastle te, or even that of Blenheim, i- rich in many rare and curious works\u2014particularly collected by Henry, the ninth earl of Lincoln and second duke of Newcastle, and by bis wife's uncle created first duke of Newcastle in 17M.\u2014N.Y.World.THE COURT MARTIAL ON CAPTAIN BRINE.Writing from Voulah Bay on March 1, a naval comei>ondent of the li\u2019Mfm» Morning Ntws says the whole Channel and Mediterrane an fleet has been gathered here for the past week for the trial of Captain Brine, of the ironclad \u201c Invincible.\u2019* The chargee against him were that on November 15th, while exercising at steam evolutions, he negligently endangered Her Majesty's ships \u201cInvincible\u201d and \u201c Alexandra\u201d by not complying with a signal order by Vice-Admiral Hornby to turn to starboard.The evidence waa very voluminous, and too technical for ordinary readers.The chief witnesses were Captain Fitzroy, to whose sitting as a member of the Court Captain Brine successfully objected ; Btaff Commander Button, Commander I*ke, Captain Heneage, a member of the Court, and Navigating lieutenant Short.When the case for the proseention cloeed a conviction seemed inevitable ; but Captain Brine read so strong a defence that the proeecntor's case was shaken and the opinion of the Court became greatly divided.After a long deliberation, the Court decided not to convict Captain Brine, leaving it to the Admiralty to take snch further eteps as they may consider necessary on a review of the evidence.The affair has excited great interest in the fleet, and opinions are greatly divided.THE CLUMBER HOUSE FIRE.Misfortunes great and smaN thicken «pou England.The destruction of Dunoombe House with ita treasures has now been followed by a conflagration at Clumber, which, if ths despatch Is accurate, must have made an end of some of the finest Netherlandish pictures in England or in Europe.Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire is one of the three ducal eeaU which, standing at no great distance from one another, have given to the picturesque and beautiful remains of Bherwood Forest in that neighborhood the po|iu lor name of the Duksriee.The other two eesdi \u2014Welbeck Abbey, still the magnificent rtei dence of the duke of Portland, and Thorsebyt enoe the seat of the Dukes of Kingston, and now of their deewndant in the female line, the head of the English Pierre-ponts, Earl Man vers \u2014ore each in its way quite aa fine aa Clumber.The special glory of the district is its magnificent trees, almost unrivalled in England.Clumber Park la particularly rich in this respect, and fortunately ths timber of this great estate has not bean damaged by ths inroads which the late Daks, whose dsath we recorded the other day, made upon his princely inheritance.Clumber House û not to ne compared, architecturally, to the colossal pile of Welbeck, upon which, with its out-buildings, the present Duke of Portland, now an old man, is believed to have expended in the long coarse of hia etranse and secluded life nearly a million sterling ; but it contained, aa we said yetter day, a moat valuable collection of pictures.In the state dining-room were four of Byn dvr\u2019s finest works and the very finest Wee-nix in England.The breakfast room con tained two very tine Ruyedaela, a noble Poelem berg, two tine portraits by Holbein, an early Flemish picture of great value by Mostaert and Notices.ir: HEW A HD.\u2014 Twt»iity-flvc w ._»\u2022/ iloil.i* will U* i*i ilir \u2022rr»-.( »ou t uuvV'Uou »f lUr |utnv wbo a* fchil cd a uiouMrr vu cur pretuUc* ua* noon, Aj»ni gud, 1S7VI.II.IL I » KS It I t).Situations Vacant._ anVMITIMUIKNmAr inir Wot*!».Iuuru4tuatr U«* »'*l «ratient* -in studying the curative properties of cheerful manners in the sick room, and then publish your discoveries in a manual for Dr.Thomson to nse with his classes.I don\u2019t suppose yon oonld do mnch with scarlet fever or amall-pox ;

entering thia port, levied, (or the moat part, to meet the intereat on bonds iaaued for the prosecution of the Lake St.Peter work, is already thought exceeaive, and will tend to drive veaael* to American porte ; yet in addition to thia internat amounting to $47,000 y*r annum, there will come into operation, in the conrae of a few months, a sinking fund of one per cent., which will make an annual charge on the revenue of thia port of $60,000 in all.It haa been pointed out that not a dollar of public money ha* been expended in the harbor of Montreal ; and certainly the claim of the Truit that it ahonld be relieved of the reeponaibility, or a portion of the responsibility, connected with thia public work, ia not an unreasonable one.Thi Laws of Natuei, which are God's law* of justice called by another name, work aure!y toward the correction of the wrongs inflicted by «*>*»« An instance of this ia to be seen in tbs remarkable exodns of negroe* from the Southern States at present in progress.The African race, Ittf held in bondage, haa, since the day in which the nation was forced amid many plague* to *\u2022 t tfMtt free, been robbed of all Its politic*! right* wherever it wah |» i»«ih!e for the white* to keep them hy intimidation or violence from the jeill* ;

and we are inclined to question the consistency of those who are ready to tax the country to any extent for the benefit cf manufactures, and yet are not willing to make the smallest sacrifice to keep the commerce of the most important city in the Dominion out of the hands of the Americans.Montreal, although by her situation she seems ^to hold the key of North American commerce, has, owinglt perhaps in part to the extreme backwardness of a large part of the inhabitants of this province, never realized the advantages of her position.Until now she has had bat one line of railway running eastward and one westward.She has still but one bridge over the St.Lawrence, the most important link of all.17ntil she remedies this lack outsiders will never bo able to see why they ahonld be hindered from doing]what she does not do.Lacking this facility, the Coteau Bridge will certainly deflect eome of the commerce which might otherwise be hers ; but ouce a second bridge is built at this point, her |>osition will soon reassert itself, for her through lines are along the great circles, while the Coteau Bridge line is across them.What we want now is to push forward the plans for our second bridge as faat as possible.A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS.It has long been apparent that there were very grave differences between the views of the Imperial authorities and the position into which our own Government has been forced by iti exacting follower», else why thia long hesitancy in acting on what waa long ago settled by a large majority of the House I Sir John might well see the mischief that muet accrue to bin cause from so grave an interference with the constitutional government of a province, but it seems to have been from the first a settled fact that be must fall in with the demands of Mr.Angers and hi* irritated colleagues.Yet no action was heard of.It is hard to see therefore what ground there was for surprise in the announcement made yesterday, that the matter had been referred by the Governor-General to the Home Government, and yet only extreme surprise would justify the unconstitutional language used by Mr.Ouimet.There can be no donbt that a very grave question, and one npon which there may be room for many differences of opinion, has now risen.All the more ahonld it be treated calmly and with much deliberation.Not until the very gravest reasons are given for supposing that any part of our constitutional liberties or- \u2022 tulangered, should we be led into uttering either in an assembly heated by party feeling, or through public journals, any cry which may arou«e anything lik» revolutionary feeling.Already some regrettable utterances have been put forth, and that without the excuse of being betrayed into them by the heat of debate.By the British North America Act, according to Todd, the Uovernor-Genersl in deciding upon the validity or expediency of provincial enactments has no arbitrary discretion.By the above-named act the Canadian Government is rendered directly responsible, not only for \" the selection of fit and proper per*ons to till \" these posts (lienteoant-governorships), but \" also for any needful exercise of executive au-\u201c thority in removing a lieutenant-governor \" from office before the expiration of his term of \"service.\" It will be clear from this that it waa the intention of the Act tbatfthe Governor-Gcneral-in-Cotinril should decide all matters of purely local iutermt.But a constitutional question is not a purely local one, and in this Instance affects colonial relations the world over.In regard to the Governor-General's right to refer the matter to the Imperial Government for aerial Parliament for the exercise of his \" polit cal function*.It must b» remembered that the Governor'General fia» not rejected the advice of Li* reS|>on»ihle Minuter*, but ha* h -mi mindful of hi* rrep has to be deducted the sum of the supplementary estimates.With this before them, the English people have not even the satisfaction of having lost it gloriously.The Eastern Roume-lian question, for the supposed final settlement of which Lord Beaoonsfield was given so much credit, may be merely the bone of a fearful contention.The beautiful island in the Mediterranean i* a very doubtful acquisition, while th-« protectorship of Asia Minor is a heavy and thankless task, which may land England in war with Russia almost any day.All this has in some measure helped to bring tho deficit up to its present proportions, as has also the disastrous war with Cetesvayo.Even the one project which had been apparently successful up to tho present time has now had a great shade thro,.-npon it by the severe disaster which has overtaken a squadron of one of the finest regiments of the English army.This, joined to the fact that the most dangerous part of the campaign has ytt to be carried out, has thrown disfavor on even this war.All these unsuccessful schemes were undertaken at a time when England was i either threatened with or suffering from domestic distress and commercial depression.The bill bos boon presented at » time of much realized distress and more terrible forebodings, and of course it has added to the discontent.Truly England haa paid dearly for Lord Beacons-field's aphorism, \" I bring you |>eace with honor.\u201d NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL.(fly Ttltgrapk From Our Own Correspondent.) Ottawa, April 4.Tho speculations in regard to the action taken by the Government on the Letellier question are now at an end.The explanations made by Sir John A.Macdonald in the House of Commons and by the Hon.Mr.Campbell in the Senate yesterday, fully justified the statement* made in the Witnihs that the Government had recommended HU Excellency TO RBMOVI THI LIBUTBNANT-00VEKVOR ; hut his dismissal has not yet taken place.His Excellency renlied that the Federal system in-troduced by tne BritUh North America Act in 1867.was until then unknown in Great Britain and her colonies, and there were no precedents to guide us ; that the decLion of the present cave would settle fur the future the relations between the Dominion and the Provincial Governments, so far as the |>otition of the Lieutenant-Governor u concerned, and that therefore it was deemed expedient to submit the whole case to Her Majesty\u2019s Government for consideration and in-structiona.In the House when Sir John ro*e to hU feet there was a general rush of French Conservative members to their seats, ahowing that they anticipated what was up.They were not, however, all prepared for the statement made, as when His Excellency\u2019s determination was read ont several hisses were heard.The Quebec Conservative members do not attempt to disguise their chagrin at the courue events have taken, and a good deal of excited dU-rusaion took place in the corridors afterwards.It is quite * tip* rent that the precise words in which His Excellency's conclusion wa* to bs stated to the House had been agreed u|>on beforehand, precisely the same language being used in making the announcement by the leaders of the Government in both Houses.The action cf His Excellency fully sustains the view gene- rally tabi-u that he would not tsko the respon-' nihility hinist-lf of dealing with thi* question.What will Inj the result of the course thus adopted it is liupoMtihle at the time of writing to precisely foretell.Another constitutional cloud pregnant with ominous forebodings hang* over the country, and from the excited language used hy mendier* of tho French Conservative party Inter ill the evening it is hard to say what the re-nuit will he.The CIIAKUKor I.'NCONRTITUTIONALITY has heeu transferred from the shoulders of the Lieutenant-Uovemor of QueUc and placed upm tlnae of His Excellency the Governor Genera', who, it is charged, has not acted on th* advice i f his advise rs.ss his instructions should have hd him to do.Hir John Macdonald, however, duos n-t agree with the position taken hy many of i.U supporters, aud unless there i* a yieldii g somewhere, a rupture must result, 8 far the Upiiokitioii have not declared their intentions, ami they will probably study the situation carefully before committing themselves.The French C'onsi rvatives are terribly in earnest, and it would appear from the speech of the Hon.Mr.Cock burn that they are not alone in the position taken by them.The Quebec matter having been dispose*! of, the TARIFF DISC'DH8ION was continued.During the afternoon the principal events of interest wi-re the speeches of Mesure.Snowball and Macdonald, Victoria, N.H.Both these gentlemen have been classed among the douhtfuls, although both aresaidtc have la-en returned a* supporters of the late Government.Mr.Snowball declared himself as an Iude|>endent, but condemned the tariff in measured terms as being a serious blow to the shipping, fishing aul lumbering interest* of his province.Mr.Macdonald, on the other hand, a* emphatically endorsed the tariff, aud thus defined his position.Mr.Tasse, jun., member for Ottawa, who Heconded the Addreis at the opening of the session, delivered a lengthy but very eloquent speech, addressing the House in English.As a matter of course, he approved of the policy of the Government, and while speaking on the loyalty cry charged certain mem-lier» of the Reform party with being annexationists, not forgetting to drag in the exploded charge made against the late Minister of Militia, that he had stated on one occasion that when the British fiag was hauled down from the citadel at Halifax, he would take off his hat and cheer.Like most French Conservatives, he quoted txprtssions from Quebec Liberals in favor of protection as showing inconsistency on their part.For a young member, however, ho lectured old parliamentarians in a atyle that wa* hardly justifiable in his position.Mr.Longley, a Nova Scotia member, is a very tedious speaker and threw little life into the deba te.Speaking on liehalf of his province be believed that the tariff would develop the coal and sugar refining industries there, and also promote a West Indian trade.There ought to be some objections made to the duty on cornmeal, bnt these were overcome hy compensating advantages.He had evidently prepared himself for a grand oration, and traversed the whole extent of the protection arguments pro and con.While he was speaking and towards the end a little desk-slamming occurred, and Sir John Macdonald took the rather unusual course of NAMING ONB OP THB MEMBERS thus engaged.Mr.Longley asked to say a word or two on this point, and detained the House for two hours, whiflb appeared to be the recognized limit of siiceches.He appeared to realize that be waa rather wearisome, and constantly begged pardon for trespassing so much on the time of the House.If Mr.Longley\u2019s speech lacked interest, however, it was fully made up for by THB EXCITING SCBNK which followed.Mr.Ouimet, the member for L*val, who had been one of the most excited members when the decision regarding the Lieutenant-Governor was communicated to the House, now rose for the purpose of moving the adjournment of the debate.That something of a serious nature was exacted was shown by the general rush to seats of members on both sides of the House.He expressed his surprise at the position taken hy His Excellency, and after uuoting tho language used, said that he desired to place himself in a right position before the House.He had been in the past and hoped to he in the future a supporter of the Government of the day.He did not wish to blame this Government for what had been done, but he rose as a representative of the people whose rights had been trampled npon hy the Governor General of the Dominion, and who he believed had acted unconstitutionally.The Letellier question had entered upon a new phase.The distinguished gentleman who was now the Governor-General of Canada acted so as to lead them to suppose that he considered that he had the authority to refuse the advice of his Ministers on questions of local importance.The question was one purely of administration, and in which IMPERIAL INTERESTS WERB NOT CONOBBNED in the least.It was one which, in his opinion, should be settled hy this Government, or by His Excellency, under the advice of his Ministers.He saw no use in discussing the tariff debate any further, as it might he referred to Downing street before they could legislate os they desired.He bad been led to suppose that we had a re- Sensible Government, hut he had thought that ternoon that responsible government no more existed in the Dominion when the advice of the Ministry, backed hy a majority in a House of cne hundred and eighty odd, could be refused, and they were asked to have it sent over to England to be reviewed.With regard to the tariff the case might be n little more favorable to tho construction that seemed to have been put by His Excellency on our Constitution, as it might be eaid to affect Imiwrial interests, but on the matter of administration they could not go that length.He felt that although it was a late hour to introduce this question, he could not allow the 3rd of April to pass without entering his protest against the proceedings which had taken place that dav.He closed by moving the adjournment of the debate, Mr.Vallee seconding the motion.There waa some alight applause during his a|*ecb, as also at the cloee, hut the majority of the members evidently did not feel like committing themselves.Sir John A.Macdonald, who had been busy writing while Mr.Ouimet was on his feet, now rose, and all eyes were centred on him.He appeared to feel the importance of the question and weighed his words carefully.After expressing a desire that the general debate on the tariff might be speedily clcnd so that they might deal with its specific proi>ositions, he stated that he coaid not agree that tho CONSTITUTION HAD HKKN INFRINGED by the illustnous individual who wa* at the head of the Government, in taking the *our*e he had done.We were a portion of the British Empire ; the Queen of England wax the Queen of Canada and reigned here as well as in London.It was true that she could not be here in peraou, and therefore sent her nprerentativo, with powera more or lesa limited according to the commission given him.He thought, therefore, that there was nothing unconstitutional in tne representative asking specific instructions from his sovereign.He would have been pleased and satisfied had their advice been accepted.They (the Government) were unanimously of the opinion that it would be for the interest of the country that Mr.lietellier should be removed.Their advice had not been refused, as the representative of the Queen had stated that he would like to bring the matter before his sovereign, and their sovereign.They bad no reason to fear that the niincinlo of self-government, granted by tier Majesty years ago, would be infringed upon, ana he nad no doubt that Her Majesty\u2019s advisers in England, who were fully conversant with all our right* and all our privileges, would give advice not in consonance with our privileges and conaUtutioual right*.It was noticeable that very little applause greeted the b-uih-r of the Goveruuiuil as he rt-nuiued hi* *nat The lion.Mr.Cockhuru differed from his leader and while not avretiog with Mr.Ouimet iu thé language rt-fii cling ou Her Majesty's Uovers-uu-nt, expressed 1114 EXTREME REURKT at the announcement made to Parliament.'l f,0 eendir.g home of this provincial question to him to lie unconstitutional aud unprecedeut ed.He felt the crisis to lie a very grave one.Messrs.Vallee and Desjardins took the sains Siosition as Mr.Ouimet.Mr.Mousseau consi lered the question of the dismissal of the Lien , tenant-Governor to be merely one of the removal of a federal officer.If there was a refereno» iu this case there could be a reference to the home authorities in all appointments, such as the appointment of a judge or a canal paymaster.He expressed a determination not to recede from the position taken.This closed the discuieion for the night, and the adjournment of the Hoiu.followed.A CHOICE ARTICLE.EXCITBD LANGUAGE.Much surprise has been expressed by poliy.clans and others interested in the question, a', the ominous silence preserved by La Alinerte anent the pro|M>sed dismissal of the idea-tenant-Governor of Quebec, during all the feeling of anxious suspense which ha* pre-vailed of late with regard to what action the Dominion Government would take in the matter.Now that the disapi>ointing result, *o far as the Government is concerned, ha* been an nounced, that paper speaks out freely ia the following remarkable words s \" The Letellier affair has assumed a new phase.Sir John A.Macdonald an nounced in the House yesterday that Ui« Sovereign had reserved, for traiiMuissiou to England, the dismissal of Mr.Letoliier, which the Government had decreed.Our comments shall be brief in the face of thi* surprise ; for, notwithstanding that the Liberal papers, who seemed to have been let into the secret a long time ago, had predicted it in precise terms, we did not dare to believe in such a violation of our franchise.We have now two outrages instead of one, that\u2019s all ! and THK YOUNG MAN WHO REl'RESENT.H THE vl'JEEM
