vivisection.This, as our readers are probably aware, is the name for experiments made by surgeons on the lower animals while alive, for the purpose of ascertaining phyfiological facts, which it is supposed, may be of value in the treatment of unman beings.If we remember right-the more recent discussions upon in subject arose out of some accounts tv- n in the newspapers, of an establish-n nt in Italy, where these experiments wre made, and from whence it was said hat heartrending cries and groans of the unfortunate animals subjected to these treatments, were constantly heard to proceed.Several of the public writers in England took up the question, and declared that in their opinion, there was no justification for practices, which they regarded as barbarism.The scientific anatomists were thus placed on their defence, and they advanced a great many ideas in favour of their proceedings.First of all came the most obvious and the moat valid one\u2014that it was only by investigations thus conducted, -.hat the secrets of the vital processes could be discovered ; and that without such discovery, many human diseases must be obscure, and the remedies for them undiscovered, and that it was lawful to inflict a small amount of pain in order to learn how to obviate a great deal.Then came what the lawyers would describe as pleas in abatement.It was asserted that the dissection of tissues and anatomies was not after all so very painful ; next that even if t wore painful, the sensations of the n voluntary patient were deadened by he previous administration of anas-hetics ; and then that the numbers of nimals operated upon was exceedingly mall, inasmuch as a physiological fact, nc\u201c ascertained, the demonstration ras not repeated.Then several schools ,f surgery asserted their own special ixempiion from this kind of cruelty, at ill events their exemption from any ex.cessive use of the practices which were condemned.At last however, we fear the discussion has made it evident that all these defences, certainly all except the first, are utterly without foundation.The opponents of vivisection have examined the written records, and instructions of the physiologists, who addict themselves to these studies, and who teach other students by demonstrations in the living body, and they have certainly laid bare an amo tnt of animal suffering, which cannot be contemplated without a shudder.It would hardly be credited unless from this irrecusable testimony, how many hundreds of dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs are yearly subjected to the most frightful and long continued tortures, in what is sup-po.-ed to be the cause of science, and indirectly, of course, of humanity, m aning by the latter word the interest of human beings.Some of these ex-iciments must apparently produce n ,»t atrocious suffering ; for they involve not merely large incisions and excisions, sometimes of limbs, but also fhe spasmodic contractions of the bodies of the wretched beings subject j ed to them-.In some cases it is recorded that a dozen or so of rabbits or other animals were made to assume an involuntary curvature of shape and were then retained for days in\u2019 this condition in order that the operator might ascertain the effect of destroying some essential portion of the body.It re quires no scientific knowledge to be aware, if it were not proved by the cries, which are heard coming from laboratories, that such injuries as these must produce torture, all the more frightful for its long continuance.In some experiments certain intestines are tied by ligatures, and the patient is allowed to linger in order that all the symptoms thus produced may be carefully observed and noted.It is true that chloroform is occasionally ad ministered ; but that is not always the case, and it is sometimes also true that the chloroform is allowed to exhaust its influence long before the pain produc-ing process ceases.Then as to the different schools of sur gery, we need only say that about the last for which special exception from the charge of cruelty has been claimed in England was that of the United States.But American manuals perfectly disproved this pretension.Unfortunately the plea that an experiment once successful is not repeated, cannot be substantiated, as it is shown that the same facts are over and over again demonstrated in classes, which could be quite as well taught without the exhibition of actual suffering.It seems likely that legislation will take place in England to restrain these dreadful practices within reasonable bounds.It is at least doubtful bow far man has a right to inflict torture for his advantage on the lower animals.But without taking an extreme view, few will contend that he has a right to do this over and over again, only to exhibit facts already perfectly well known.It may perhaps be permitted to competent and responsible men to practice vivisection for the purpose of definite physiological inquiries into unknown facts.It seems too much to deliver the dumb creation to indiscriminate experiment.Fkom the Ottawa Valley to Lacs Hckon.\u2014We judge that some of the friends of the Northern Colonization Railway who were lately strongly op-cosed to the Government plan of connecting the Ottawa Valley with Lake Huron° will have changed their minds under the influence of the recent news from England.If Sir Hugh Allan shall succeed, as we hope he will, he will nevertheless have quite as much as he can do; and while on the one hand his task will be lessened by a diminution in the length of the road he will have to provide for, he will find that the Government aid in carrying the general line forward to Lafee Huron, will greatly augment the value oi his own project in the eyes of capitalists.There can be no greater justification of Mr.Mack< nzie't foresight, from a Lower Canadian point of view, than the events now occurring in England, But we are in possession of recent intelli gence which proves the wisdom Premier\u2019s plans in an engineering as well as in a financial point of view.It will be remembered that a contention was raised by some gendemen, who professed to be special friends of the Northern Colonization road, as to the practical shortness of the route which he had selected.It was admitted, indeed, that geographically he had chosen the shortest line ; but this advantage in distance was said to be more than counterba-lanced by the difficulties in surmount ing the height of land between the Ottawa and the valley of the Bonnechere.Mr.Mackenzie denied the existence of this difficulty, on information which he believed to be authentic, and we are now able to say that the correctness of his information has been completely established.We have seen the report and the profile of the road prepared by two engineers, Messrs.Hazelwood and Bell, the one instructed by the Government, the other by the Canada Central Company, and the result is to show a very favourable grade, between the two rivers.The line laid down by these gentlemen, after crossing the Ottawa from Portage du Fort, will maintain a course parallel to the river for a short distance on a hill side escarpment.It will then turn southward, and with some variations to accommodate the accidents of the ground, will continue that course to or near to Douglas\u2014 probably to a spot about three miles north of that place.In this course it will go through two small valleys avoiding the high ground on each side, and between two lakes.The distance is some ten miles, end the profile shows that on about three of these at the Ottawa\tend,\tthe rise will be about one foot in one hundred ; for another two miles and a half, about one foot in two hundred ; for some two miles and a half more, about one in eight hundred, and the remainder, descending to the Bonnechere Valley,again about one in two hundred.It will be seen that there is nothing very formidable in these grades.In other respects, it may be well to mention that the point chosen for the east era terminus of the subsidized road to Lake Nipissing is one which preserves the strictest equality between the Canada Central and the Northern Colonization railroads, inasmuch as it is just about the same distance\u2014say from nine to ten miles\u2014from the present terminus of each, assuming the one terminus to be at Renfrew and the other at Portage du Fort.It is also at exactly the place which will be struck by the Kingston and Pembroke road.The facts here stated seem to dispose effectually of all reasonable objection from any point of view to the scheme of the connection between the Ottawa and Lake Huron, which has been adopted by Parliament.v Me.Wylie op the \u201c Brocxvillb Recorder.\u201d\u2014We notice that Mr.David Wylie who has for years borne the title of \u201c Father of the Canadian Press,\u201d has within the last few days formally resign, ed the position of editor of the Brock-ville Mecorder.As he tells us in his valedictory, in 1826 he first breathed the atmosphere of the printing office, and for more than a quarter of a century he has been the responsible editor of the paper, official connection with which he has just resigned.A consistent Reformer he has ever advocated the principles for which that party has striven, but all the time jhas main tained the most friendly relationship towards all his c nfreres by whom ha was ever looked up to.It will be difficult to fill his place in the hearts of those with whom he had been accustomed to associate, and the seat which he occupied in the Reporter\u2019s Gallery at Parliament, can scarcely be occupied by so genial and good hearted a journalist.We trust that in the position which he has assumed,\u2014that of a staff officer of volunteers, he may feel as happy as we know he did when acting as a pressman, and that his life may long be preserved to his family and his friends., âôri'UsÂh ttstuU) Aku iuav iMMiKüUt

obituary notice of one once well known and much lovrd by his associates in this city, from the New York World.We believe that none who knew the late Mr.Charles Shanly failad to admire his varied talents, his gaiety, and warmth of heart, and his sterling integrity.Mr.Shanly was not only gified with a fertile and versatile mind, but he possessed the means of giving double expression to his thonghts, by grace-fill literary composition, and by very lively delineations on paper.He was the first of Canadian caricaturists.Ho was, however, not, a is stated, a native of Canada, but of Dublin, and a graduate of Trin.Coll : « The intelligence of the death of Mr.Shanly, which occurred at Jacksonville, Fla., on Thursday last, will be sad news to many N w Yorkers, and to many persons in all sections of the country.As a writer of stories and sketches for the magnzines Mr.Shanly established an enviable réputation, while occasional poems from his hand extended his fame to Europe, where they were often copied into eclectic periodicals.Mr.Shanly was a native of Canada, where he began bis lite'ary labours as a journalist on a Montreal dai y newspaper.Le - ving Montreal, he went to Boston, and in that city pmsued his literary work by writing reviews and art critics for the Transcript and Advertiser, and stories and poems for the magazines.For the last twenty years Mr, Shanly resided in this city.He contributed articles to the Atlantic Monthly, Galaxy, Harper's Magasine and Weekly, Young Folks, Appletons' Journal, and other publications.He wrote many articles for this journal.Years ago he contributed art criticisms to the Albion, of which publication he was for a long time the art critic.Mr.Shanly was a believer in progressive journalista.Ke had lived to see the telegraph become an important, it may be said an indispensable, aid to the prompt transmission of news, and used to speak with unctuous humour of the days when the pony express was a valuable instrument for bearing information to the newspapers.There was no daily journal, however, which filled the measure of his demand of what a newspaper should be ; but he believed\u2014nay, he knew\u2014that the day was not far distant when that demand would be fairly met.For a man of his culture and aesthetic tastes it seemed a marvel to hear him dwell * loquentiy upon the subject of \u201c display heads,\u201d or the style in which the cattle market reports were set tip,\" This, however, ceased to be a marvel when he wouid, if gue-tioned, give the latest quotations at which beans op oatmeal was sold.There were no details too mirmte to escape his notice and excite bis thought.Mr.Shanly was well known among the «its of the town as one of the brightest contributors to Vanity Fair and Mrs.Grundy, two comic hebdomadals which, alth ugh short-lived, made ihejr mark, and are now enumerated among the unsuccessful attempts that have been made to establish 8 humorous j-iurnal in this country.A few \u2014 ago

Length on deck, 164 feet ; depth of hold, 14 feet 9 inches ; breadth of beam, 24 feet.She is to be fitted with a compound engine ot 700 horse power indicated.The diameter of the screw, 12 feet 6 incites, with a pitch of 20 feet ; boiler, 11 by 14 feet, made of the heat | inch iron, fitted with condenser, and carrying 105 pounds of steam.This vessel is so formed that no right angle pressure can be brought to bear by ice in any part of the hull, thus reducing the resistance to a minimum.The keel runs with a grace fkl curve,(something in the form of a skate,) to the foot of the stern, which is so shaped as to continue the sweep above tbe line of greatest immersion, thus enabling the vessel to separate or displace the ice at three points, viz., underneath, and on the port, and starboard sides of the bow.All these provisions on the part of the builder and designer show great forethought and study.For a height of two feet above the line of floatation and a depth of one foot below, the \u201c Northern Light \u201d is to be plated with iron plates of 4 x J in.iron.She is to be fitted with a spar deck, on which is to be built the wheel house, well forward.This house will he fitted with double plate glass, and heated by the exhaust steam, passing through iron piping, which will he fitted in all those portions of the vessel where heat is required.She will carry a fore and aft foresail, mainsail, and fore staysail, and will steam seventeen miles an hour in smooth water.Tho Premier by way of testing this great national question with as little cost as posable to the country, has offered the contract to Mr.Sewell, for carrying tha mails across the Straits of Northumberland, during the winter months, and as there are from six to eight weeks during which it is deemed lie practicable for any vessel to cross these Straits, the Government will allow the \u201c Northern Light\u201d during that time to ply between Quebec and the lower ports.IRON FOUNDERS.SPRING OF 1876.W,CLENDINNENG MANUFACTURER OF STOVES A large assortment made from the best Iron, IRlA-InTO-IEîS, the finest article In the market, IRON BEDSTEADS, of vftrioiig designs and sizes.For sale, Wholesale or Retail, at the Stores, 854 ST.CATHFRINE STREET East 533 OBA1G STREET, su a ne si.James street, or at the Foundry, 145 to 179 WILLIAM STREET, , , W.OLENDINNENG.1\t ly 77 mm BUBELiR ALARMS LECLARCHE BATTERIES, Fire Alarm.Lines, AND INSTRUMENTS MADE AND ERECTED.OHANT3LOUP, 687 to 693 Omitf Straat, Montreal;
