the Queen's Park.JAMES BRENT, M.D, Superintendent.HE attention of the Sick and their friends is invited lo the above HOME FOR INVALIDS, as heing a place where none but truly remedial agents\u2014instead of drugs \u2014are einployed to resiore them to health, By the Hyuienic Cure we mean the scientific employment of such agents as Air, Light, Temperature, Electiicity, Magnetism, Exercise, Rest, Foud, Dink, Bathing, Sleep, Clothing, Passional influence, and Mechanical or Surgical appliances, to the utier exclusion of nostrums and drugs altogether, By ihe use of these meuns we have been eminently successful in the tre ament ol the sick (many of whom have been declared incurable), to whom we can confidently refer, not only in Bowmanville and Oshawa \u2014where we have practiced for the las! six years,\u2014but also to others who have been un ler our care from Toronto, and other paris of Canada.Drugopathy endeavours to make sick penple well by administering the sell-same poisuns which make 1he healihy sick.To attempt to cure diseases by sdding 10 the cause of disease, is irrational and absurd.Hygeio-\"Therapy (erroneously called «1ly- dropathy®® or ¢ Water Cure,\u201d\u201d) on ihe contrary, restores the sick to health ty the judicious use of the same means that are hecessary to preserve health.Diseases are caused by obstructions, the obstructing materials being poisons or impu- nities of some kind, The Hygienic system removes these obstructions, and leaves the body sound.Diug medicines add to the causes ol obstructions, ard change acute into chronic diseases, We confidently invite a eandid and discerning publie lo inquite into the merits cf our system of medication.We fear not, but court the severest scrutiny ; true science and common sense, and not mere \u2018 medical opinions,\u201d being the foundations on which our principles rest.The sick are invited to call; we will cau- didly give them our opinion, which shall cost them nothing.Dr.Brent will also altend to ¢out-door practice.\u201d Office hours, from 10 A.M.10 4 P.M., daily.Mrs.B.gives particular attention to lady patients.The Ilygienic Cure is beautifully situated In ona of the most healthy distncis to be found in the Province, immediately opposite the Queen's Park.Patients fiom a distance will address JAMES BRENT, MLD, ienic Cure, Toronto.Auguet 7, 1865.Ye

Legistative Council of Canada.PROSPECTUS.VENTS of great national imporlauce are hourly passing into history.Public opin- 100 13 visibly wequinng new animation.Political aspirations, moved by unseen influences, tike the tide in spring, are rising to a purer level, aud spreading themselves with iovigo- rating (reshness over the agitated suiface of the Colonial mind, Statesmen of diflerent parties, apprecialing the acquirements of the bour, forgetting alike the rivalries and jealousies of the past, are agreed in declaring hat the lime is come when the power of these separated Provinces should be consolidated ; when their mdividual strength should bs knit together; when, as one great MoNaR- cincat.CoNFepeERacy, they should practice mn unison the graver duties of Government ; should accept the burden of new obligations and the administration of new trosts.Proceedings and eveuts so unique in themselves cannot be viewed apart {ium their authors; and we should miss much of their meaning were we tu atlempttolerprel them without reference lo their opponents.The canvas which encloses the historic tracery should iuclude also the personal portraiture, The ztrife of opinion should representthe parties lo that strife.We care not 10 separale the act from the actors, the accepted design from the competitive designers; on the cou- trary, we acknowledge the relationship, and recognire propriety in unity.What has been done, and what 1s now beg done, are however matters of State policy, nol necessary lo be discussed here ; but the subject suggests the observation, and, we hope, warrants the opinion, lhat, standing, as we may be said to be, on the threshold of new and great events, the time is propitious for collecting in a form, not unworthy of being preserved, noes and sketches not only of men who are now filling, but of those also who have in years past filled, positions of 1esponsitvility aud honour in the political and social history of the British American Provinces.The wish to possess, even in an imperfect form, the 1esemblance of individuals whose names are familiar 10 us, is a very natural one.Indeed, such desires have almos' become conventional habits, which we make lutte effort to restratn, and none to disguise.The growing taste for collecting likenesses isnot attributable to a passing fashion merely ; sl has its root in the better paris of our nature, and derives its nourishment from the Ingher ounitiuivute of the mind fram reverence and respect, from thie luve of kindred and the charms ot {riendship, from the regard lor private worth or from the appréciation of public service.It is no evanescent impulse, but a chronic craving, a craving tual had existence \u2018vhen the sneans ol gratification, if not wholly beyond reach, were laid aside among the expensive and almost unattainable privileges of hfe.Curiosuy wily uttered its petitions, allection vainly breathed its longrmgs\u2014 for such entreaties were roughly hushed by the tiemely voice ol prudence, expressed, in the hard and ancasnred tones of exact economy.« The portrait could not be had : the price was beyond reach.\u201d Now, however, this duliculiy 1s removed.The sun himself has become the hmuer.Science has unlocked her secrets: Art has applied them, while knowledge and experience have taught ns that light, the first, the purest aud (he most nniversal of God\u2019s gilts, lias, by fusion with suhile agencies, become the source, 1 is scarcely an exaggeration lo say, of the most chenshed and economical of man's luxuries.No lengthened introduction is needed in regard 10 thal part of our project which relates especially tothe illustnation, excep, indeed, to state that every pains will betaken to make the work equal in all respects, in its minute and general characteristics, in its artistic and mechanical attractions, to the best and most exact specimens of Photographie art.In addition 10 the style aud finish which commonly belong lo work done at his studio, itis Mr.Notman\u2019s intention 10 bestow, if it be pussible, even moro than his vsual pains on every Portrait that may appear in (Le forthcoming Serial ; so that each subject may be represented in a manner as true, batural, and Jife- like as it is possible for Art, combined with knowledge and experience, 1 effect.The plan which has found favour in Eog- land with respect to similar publications will be attempted here.Jach monthly part will contain five Foutraits, to be separately mounted on delicately tinted paper, especially prepared for the work, Each portrait, moreover, will be accompanied with notes and sketches, which, like index posis on the highway, though, peradventure, neither elegant nor picturesque in themselves, may at all events be found useful in direc'ing the enquirer to where he may arrive at more perfect knowledge and more exact observation.li speaking for himself, the Editor may perhaps be allowed to observe, that the duty he has been invited 10 discharge was uot of his seeking, for he and the responsible author of the project are wholly nuknown io one another.1t was the desire of Mr.Notman that the Sketches should be written fairly aud impartially ; [ree ahike {from extravagant eulogy on the one hand, or cynical ili-nature on the vther.Wiih this object in view, it was supposed by him that a genileman whose duties did not necessarily brmg him into contidential intercourse wilh any member or estate of thy Government, who had for many years been convected with the Legislature, who had consequently enjoyed lair opportunities of observing the course of public events, and had been brought into aimost daily contact with the public men ol all parties, would, from inclination and experience, as well as from the habit of equable impartiality that is aimost inseperable (rom official life, be disposed to trace such records with a gentle hand, and make ctiticism subservient alike tojustice and conrlesy.There is, too, in connection with this point, another consideration which, perhaps, may be regarded as a type of thought, in a certain sense peculiar to and inseparable from the minds ol those whose lot has been cast in the public service of the Stae.Removed by their posinon from the radius of party attraction, placed ontaide, s0 lo speak, of the macl- strom of factionai strife, lhe observant members of this clasa have not failed 10 note, and they have done so wilh regret, that there ax- p'ets in tho community, no malter from what cause, a proneness to disparage the pusition and abase the mfluencol our public men ; belittle their title to consideration; lo discredit generally the presence of high principle, aud challenge particularly any claims lo patriohe motives ; fo sneer at humble and jest at ob- secure origin ; 10 remember with exaggeraled precision what it were generous to forgel, au | forget with fueile indiflerence whatit were just to remember ; to speak coolly of many struggles, and withhold from intelligent success all grateful recognition.11s ine that persislent integrity may, for it sometimes does, win inthe end; but the contest 1s not equal, neither can the tinal trivmph of night make us oblivious to those teatures of the play that blemished the struggle.Our purpose, however, is not to discuss a state of things more easily accounted for than excused.On the cotitrary, we refer 1othem by way ol mtrodue- ing the remark, that cur Serial 18 issued for no partisan object ; neither will it be edited on any partisan principle.There is, moreover, a condition with respect to contemporary biography that stiould never be lost sight of, namely, the ditlicuhy ol treating fairly an incomplete career.While he lives, the personal history of man sur, vives; and he, therefore, who shoul #4] tempt to judge such an one before the time, would necessarily judge partially and from imperfect data ; under such facts It 18 safer to record facts than 10 draw conclusions.In ano ther sense than the highest, it may be said of each of us, ¢\u201cwe know not what we shall be.\u201d In the face of auch ignorance it would be an offence against tasie, and it might be an ofleuce against truth, to assert of one still living tliat such was the character and such the issue of life; for the latest act of existence, like the codicil of a will, by revealing a uew motive, may change the opinion of a critic, battle his conclusions, and cornpel him | to see in lhe act of another the error of his own thought.Great reticence will, 1here- fore, be observed on such points; for our work would iniss, or overreach its ncjeet, if.by any means, it shonld become instrumental i inflicting a public hurt or private wound.It is not, however, with contemporary biography alone that we propose to deal.We hope to be able, by diligent research, and with the assislance ol others, to gather ingether some of the scraps and fragments of individual History, which may still linger, like tradition- a) lure, in the crevices of inemory, or be pre- sarved, like forgotton relics, in out of the way or unfrequented places.11 1s diflicuit to meet the elders of a young country like our own without experiencing sensations of regret th«t so lille pains should have been lakeu 10 petpetuate, in sume imperishable form, the amusing and occasionally s'riking incidents of days past, incidents which, if industry will not preserve, lime must destroy.Such gleanings of personal narrative acquire value as the stream ol events rolls on; and since general history 18 but the aggregaie of individual history, he may be regarded as contributing to the more perfect whole who shall succeed in gathering togeilier some of the essential paris.Many sympathetic {friends will, it 1s believed, glady help forward such an object ; and all such may be sure that their honotiravie cvuaaence Will neither be abused nor belrayed.The pioneers aud founders of a State, of whatever profession or call- mg, will generally be fonnd to be men of great force ol character, as well as an adventurous turn of mind, who are more inclined to perform heroic deeds than to record them.The descendants of such men stll live among us.The traditional, und in some instances the 1e- corded transactions of their lives may yet be recovered ; and the lessons which the narratives shonld teach ol courage, loyally, devotion, tugh principle and stainless honour, would not only promote innocent gratification and men:al pleasure, but might, by exciting a sense of landable emulation, tend 10 our moral and national good.\u2018The Biographical Sketches will be printed by Mr.J.Lovell, of Montreal, on paper manu- faclvred for the purpose, and inihe most ape proved style of modern letler-press.Every mechameal aid will be called into requisition \u2018& make the \\Vork worthy of a niche side by side with books, it may be, of more pretence, that have the imprint of the great publishing names of the Cotinent.With such imen- tions, 1t 18 hoped that the enterprise will not be without attraction 10 the publie, or, he may be excused for adding, without some commercial advantages 10 the projector.Montreal, 24th March,

and it would appear that Mr, O'Donnell had misanderstood Dr.Lurue, and we | THE RESIGNATION OF HON.MR.| La fuit accompli.THE QUEBEC GAZETT THE FESTIVAL of ST.JOHN THE BROWN.The visit of Mr.Brown to Montreal has _ been, and reasonably enough, supposed to | have had for object the offering of explanations to the administrator of the government for the course he had felt compelled, in justice to himself, to pursue.It would scem that His Excellency had not iwnme- diately acceded to Mr.Brown's wish to Le relieved of office ; and we may infer from this fact that His Excellency had not at! first deemed the difficulty\u201d irreconcilable | with that geutleman\u2019s continuance in the government.The tone of the Globe, too, pending the decision, hus suggested the thought that the parties in charge of that journal (who, whether they do or do uot know the precise causes of the misunderstanding, might be supposed to know whether Mr.Browu regarded an agreement as utterly impracticable), did not for two or three days look upon his resignation as A Council meeting was held in Moutreal upon the verarn of the Premier, Mr.Macdonald and other mwinis- ters, when the matter would appear to have been discussed de movo, after which His Excellency released Mr.Brown.The poiut in dispute must have been a very obstinate one, when after four or five days\u2019 consideration in Ottawa in full Council, and a supplementary meeting in Montreal, it was found imposible of accommodation.The press now scems divided upon the propriety of keeping the dificulty secret EVANGELIST, 1865.re ALBION LODGE.The Albion Lodge, No.17 English Register, United, Ancient, Free und Accepted Masons, met at their lodge rooms, Masonic Hall, Gard :n street on Wedacsday, 27th Dec, 5665, ab ten o'clock, a.w.The fullowing officers were installed for the coming year, according to ancient custom, by Past Master Worshipful Bro.W.Miller, viz :\u2014 W.Bro, P.Belanger\u2014Worebipful Master.G.Thompson\u2014Past Master.\u201cJ.Dawe\u2014Senior Warden.\u201c+ C.W.Gouldiug\u2014Junior Warden.\u201cA.Fraser\u2014Treasurer.W.Miller\u2014Secretary.S.J.Dawson\u2014Director of Ceremonies.« T.Enright\u2014Senior Deacon.« M.O'Nucil\u2014Junior Deacon.\u201c W.Kelly-Inner Guard.« Heury Beer\u2014Tgyler.Permanent Committee \u2014VWorshiptul Brother 3.Thompson, Worshipful Brother S.J.Dawson, Brother J.Alexander.220 ST.JOHN'S LODGE.The St.Jubu's Lodge, 182 E.Rt, wet at three o'clock, when the following brethren were duly installed by Past Deputy Grand Master Brother Thompson :\u2014 W.Bro.Christopher Stavely \u2014W.M.Jno.Shaw\u2014P.M.© James Stavely\u2014S.W.« Jumes G.Shaw\u2014J.W.«+ WA.Adamson\u2014Chaplain.\u201c G.Veasey\u2014Treasurer.\u2026 \u201c a until the meeting of parliament ; and at first sight one would be disposed to cou- clude that the government were the best judges of the wisdom of so doing.But: second thoughts will obtrude themselves, | very well be repressed.Jf Mr, Brown sees so much danger to the public weltare in the course of his lute colleagues, that he Lave no doubt from this cause, and most unintentionally, had made a report to Mr.Fearn of his interview with Dr.Larue, which the subsequent action of the doctor did uot bear out, We are confident, however, that any statements made by them which may at present appear conflicting, can be readily explained.Professor Larue was quite competent to give a correct analysis of the water, and we are certain that he did, but it required no analysis to prove what was unfortunately already too patent to the community, that the water was at times a \u2018stench in the nostrils.\u201d We say af times, for it was not always the same in impurity, either as dis- tinguighalile by color, oduur or taste ; and we recognise the propriety of the questions pat by Mr.Hearn, © Why is the water good in one honse and bad in another ?Why is it good in ITamel street and bad elsewhere?Why is it almost pure one day, and very impure the next?\u201d We can vouch that there is ground for the assertions on which these questions are raised, for within the past three weeks we have drawn from the same pipe dirty and clear water ; water quite inodorous, nud again water which gave out a strong fishy smelt, and unpleasant to the taste.Alderman Hearn says, that when his attention was directed to that part of the medical report which refers to the state, of the water, hie, with the sanction of the: 2 { Done di What would } will be indulged inboard, did what any sensible man do, directed Mr.O'Donnell to proceed, with a proper staff, to Lorette, to examine the chamber of the ¢\u201cChatean d'Euu,\u201d to ascertain whether any impurity could be found there, and he states that none was found ; and he describes the steps taken for raising the water in the dam, so as to float over all surface impurities.Unfortunately we have not the means of knowing at present what is the construction of the water works at the outlet from the lake (though we shall take the first opportunity of enquiring), but, supposing that there were \u201c filter beds\u201d similar to those in connexion with cther great aqueducts, it had occurred 10 us that by reversing the curreut through the filter beds, any impurities which had acenmulated, and which were the cause of the impurity of the water, might be driven to the surface, and floated off to the drains.From the course adopted by Mr.(YDonnell we fear that there may be no filter beds at Lorette, and that he was consequently obliged to rely on the steps described.We shall regret if our supposition be corrcet, for should there Le no filter Leds, the Lorette aqueduct wants one of the most important agencies to the supply of pure water.Whether it is owing to the measures taken by Mr.O'Donnell, or from some other cause, we have had for the past two days a supply of water as pure as we ever reccived through the pipe.But while it was right to look at the source as the most probable origin of the evil, and while we think the steps taken in that direction must be attended with decided benefit, à still more serious matter has to be met and dealt with, for if the impurities proceeded from the source alone, there would be no difference in the quality of the water as discharged from the pipe at any quarter of the city ; but if we are to receive as facts the statements made by Mr.Hearn and others, it follows that there are local, partial and intermit- ting causes of impurity also ; and the discovery of these will tux to the uttermost the professional skill and comwon sense and judgment of the superintendent of the works.\u2018These causes may be fractures in the pipes, which may permit the entrance of foul water from drains aud cesspools.This would account for the intermissions, for, after rain, we would expect that the cesrpools would overflow for a time, and again intermit during drought.We carnestly hope, however, that this is not the rase, and that the origin of the evil has greatly been in the lake, and that it has been, or can be, overcome.Ine best authorities are of opinion that animal or vegetable matter, suspended or in solution in water, may be completely removed by filtration, and we had an opportunity of satisfying ourselves on this point, when our water supply was at its worst.The water which Lad passed through the ordinary gravel and charcoal percolator, in odour, colour and taste was perfectly pure, and would never have been supposed to derive its source in connexion with the repulsive liquid that remained unfiltered.We would therefore earnestly re- \u20ac nmmend to all who have the means, to prov.le themselves with filters, the only trae antidote to the poison under present circumn- stances, for it may be thal the water-works anthorities, thongh they may exert them- solves to the ntinost, may fail to discover fur some time the origin of the evil.sannot make up his mind to share the res- { pousibility, his friends, and those who lave confidence in his judgment, are not likely to be satisfied with allowing things to go on unchecked by public opinion.Awl really we cannot very well see how that gentleman himself can feel comfortable, with the mere fact of having withdrawn from n companionship with meu, whose policy he justifies us in inferring that hie considers as ; fraught with evil, The wrong will go on whether or no, and Mr.Brown will do nothing to counteract it.\u2018lo this it may Le answered, that the policy in question is as yet in an immature state, or that it is probably only conditional upon anticipa- tious which way never become realities ; but in that case it hardly scems necessary for a dissentient party to resign.lic might wait until the onus of assenting to the objectionable action was imposed upou him, and then, even, it would be a question whether the proposed action was of so grave a character as tu outweigh the momentous interests for the promotion of which he had consented to put other important questions in abeyance, and to accept office.In whatever light we look at this awkward and regretable secession, we cannot but see that it will do harm.It will excite suspicions in the American mind of unfriendly intentions, and all sorts ! of surmises, probably wide of the mark, Indeed, we already find some leading American journals already speculating upon the nature of the difliculty, and predicting complications and embarrassments, if our Minister of Finance pursues such or such a course.Now, we do not say that the government should allow Mr.Brown to explain the reason of his retirement, or should commission their organs to divulge it, for, as intimated already, we must presume them to be the Lest judges in the matter ; but we do repeat that keeping the thing secret will excite fears and anxieties in this country, and predispose onr neighbours on the other side to tuke a stiffer attitude than they would otherwise probably have done.From ali we have been able to gather, the objections of Mr, Brown are only of a hypothetical character, and if the thing feared really never comes to pass, it will be an exceedingly inconvenient proceeding tu have thie matter opened out in parliament\u2014 if, as is supposed, it will be calculated to rufie the present rather unhappy temper of our American cousins, Look at it as we may, we must repeat our uuaflected regret ut the occurrence.SABBATH DESECRATION.Our attention has been called to a band-bill now being circuluted, relating to a show of live animals, and a glass-blowing exhibition which have been for sole time open in St.John Suburbs.The band- bill states that ** the Show will be open daily (rom g, a.m.to 10, p.m., asp ox SUNDAY AFTERNOONS.\u201d Surely our municipal authorities will interfere to prevent such a barefuced.impudent desecration of the Christian Sabbath.If not, then we are in a pitiable condition as a city.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 PHARAOH'S SERPENTS.One of the most interesting chemical experiments is the burning of sulphocyanide of mercury, formed in litlle conen The gas issuing from it becomes fixed by uniting with the oxygen of the air, and assumez a form resembling a serpent.This substance bas been prepared for popular use, and ia now sold in boxes containing a dozen for fifty cents.The Fitness says, whether Phba- raoh's magiciaus made use of this chemical is uacertain ;

und it wae decided some three months ago that all our great national defences were {o be constructed on this plan, and as we are informed, extensive contracts were entered into for the supply of granite for the purpose of vigorously pushing the works at Spithewl.and the great Montreal and Queb:e fortifications: that is before the trial of this casemate was made, orany knowledge of the results attained, these contracts were entered fnto, and the Government pledged to what Is now proved to be a useless expenditure of public money, What furethought! What wisdom! Now, looking at the results of this trial, we are bound to declare they present a most lamentable and pitiabl+ failure.The casemate was tendered untenable ater the first Len rounds, and although but cighty rounds have been fired, the work is a rain; the granite and brick work inside the casemate lie in confused fallen masses, 300, or 400 tons in weight: one shield was broken and destroyed by tour shots, but the other, Mr.halmers', hus withstood ten or twelve blows success{ully, four shots of which having been delivered from the 10 inch gun, of 280i, nnd composed of steel, On the other hand, the steel shells penetrated completely throagh the massive granite piers 1416 thick, snd so destroyed them that, had any upper tiers of casemates been built over this one\u2014as ure proposed to be built at Portsmouth \u2014the whole would have fallen ou the crushing of the lower piers.\u201d E, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1865.GEOKGE WILL'AM GORDON, THE JAMAICA MARTYR.\u2014\"\" [From the New York Tribune.| Ia the person of the lute George William Gordon, Jamaica has just added another name to the list of those who have sealed their devotion to liberty with their lives; another victim to the accursed spirit of negro slavery.Gordon will now take rank with the missionary Smith, who 10 years ago perished miserably in a dungeon in Demerara, in which be had been incarcerated by the planters for the crime of preaching the gospel of spiritual liberty to the black slaves ol that colony : with Jobin Brown, who paid with hie life the penalty of his noble devotion to the cause of negro freedom.A brist eketch of the Jamaios marlye will, we are sure, be perueed with interest by a numerous class of readers.George Willinm Gordon wus al the time of his execution close upon 50 years of age.Hv was u native of the island of Jumuica, aud was born iu servitude, his mother being w mulatto wluve woman.His father was a Scolchmun, 8 « planting attorney,\u201d or agent of ubsentee proprietors, He received but the scantiest elementary education, but having discovered à remarkable appitude for figures, be was placed by his father in the countiug-house of a wealthy Jamaica planter, where be remained for a few years.He then commenced business on his own account, and by hie tact, diligence, promptitude and punc- tunlity, soon raised himself to n leading position among Lhe merchunts of the country.Jlaving.however, embarked largely in the sugar calliva- tion a short time previous to the free trade policy in England, the passage of the sugar dutivs bill of 1R(G, whereby the differentinl duties in favor of the prolucts of free labor were abolished, caused bim severe losses, from the effects of which, owing to the progressive depreciation of Jamica properly, Lis fortunes never entirely recovered.About three years ago he was elected Member of Assewbly for one of the rural parishes of the island, bisconstituents being principal ly black people; and he bad no sooner entered the Legisiature than be took his stand as an avowed opponent of the policy which aims ut maintaining the supremacy of the planter cluss in%.aa10lony at the expense ol other iuterests ol vital importance to th+ public weal, and proved him=ell'a furmiduble opponent of the Government.He lost no opportunity of denouncing that partial and unjust system of legislation which bas been the curse of Jamaion, since emancipation.and advocated wilh ali bis powers, and with un common energy and zeal, the claims of the fred blacks to 4 larger share of consideration an l res pret than they have yet received at the hands of the governing class in Jamaica, At times, indeed, bis zeal, so ardent was ils quality.outrau his discretion, and he was hurried into the use of language somewhat too strong for the conven- tionalities of the legislative urena, and it is not surprising that he made many enemies among the dominant class, who delighted in heaping oppro briam upon him.But with the lovers of hberty and justice bis evident sincerity of purpose, ant his { noble self-abnegstion, caused this vecasional in- | temperance of speech tu be overlooked, and the blscks of Jumaica soon cam: to regard Lim as ane of their warmest friends and most devoted champions.Gordon was executed for the alleged offence of inciting the negroes to reb-llionbut it turas out that there has been no really no rebellion.His real crime in the eyesof his marderers\u2014the crime for which they took his life \u2014was that bis course of political action wus calculated to open the eyes of the black people as they have never yet been opened {0 the true character of that system of legislation by which their rights have heen trifled with, their interests sacrifleed, their progress retarded.The principal evidence apon which he was convicted hy the court-martial that tried him was a so-called seditious placard which he had caused to be published, address: to the blacks.This document has been reproduced in the English newspapers, and an extract or two {rom it here will show how little reason there was for regarding it as an incendiary publication.We know.\u201d THE CAPTURE of QUEBEC.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The following dramatic account of the capture of Quebec, is taken from the filth volume of Mr.Carlyle\u2019s Biography of Frederick the Greut, just published by tbe Harpera, of New York :\u2014 Above Quebec, night of September 12 13th, in profound Silence, on Une streamu of tue 3.Lun rence, far away, a notable adventure is going on.Wolfe, from two points well above Quebec (\u201cas a fast shift, we will try that way\u2019), with about five thousand nen, is silently descending in rafts, with purpose to climb the heights somewhere on thia side of the city, and be in upon it, if Fute will.An enterprise of almost sublime nature ; very great, if it can succeed The cliffs all beset to his left band ; Montcalm, in person, guarding Quebec with his main strength.Wolle silently descends ; mind made up; thoughts hushed guiet into one great thought ; in the ripple of the perpetual waters, under the grim cliffs and the eternal stars.Conversing with his people, he was heard to recite some passages of which, says an ear-wittiesz, he expressed his admiration in an enthusiastic degree: *\u201c Ah, these are tones of the ternal Melodies, are not they?A man might thank Heaven had he such a gift: almost as we ight for succeeding here, gentlemen!\u201d Next morning (Thursday, 13th Sept.1739), Wolfe, with hie 5000, is found to hare scrambled up some woody neok in the height, which was notquite precipitous; has trailed one cannen with him, the seamen busy bringivg up another; and uy ten of the clock, stands ranked (justsomewhat in the Frederick way, though on a small scale): ready at all points for Monte lm, but 1efreshing to be over-ready.Montcalm on first hearing of bim, bad made haste : \u201c Oui, je les vois ou ils ne doivent pas etre ; je vais les ecraser (to smash them)!\u201d waid be, by way of keeping bis people in heart.And he marches up beautitully ekilful, neglecting none of hisadvantages.His numerous Canadian sbarpsbooters, preliminary Indians in the bushes, with a provoking fire.* Steady !\u201d orders Wolfe ; \u201c irom you, not one shot till they are within thirty yards!\u201d And Montcalm, volleying and advancing, can get no response, more than from Druidic stones , till at thirty yards, the stones become vocal\u2014and continued ao at a dreadful rate; and, in a space of seventeen minutes, have blown Montealin\u2019s regulars, and their second in command, and their third into ruin and destruction.In about seven minutes more the army was done; * English falling on with bayouet, llighlunders with claymore ;\u2019\u2019 fierce pursuit, rout tolal:\u2014and Quebec and Canada as good as finished, The thing is yet well known to every Englishman; and bow Wolfe bimself died in it, bis beautiful death.SALES BY THE SHERIFF.ere DURING TILE MONTH OF JANUARY.Lonis Carrier ve.Diendonae Carbonnean\u2014A lot of land in parish of Notre Dame de la Vie- toire, Lot No.1, of 54 feet hy 65 feet, with a two story wooden house theremn.Sold ut church door of same parish, on the 24th of January, at 10 o'clock in the foreaoon.Judith LeBel va.Jean Morasse\u2014A lot of land in township of Gosford, 5th concession, 2] arpents in front by 30 arpents in depth, with honse, barn and atable thereon.Sold in Registry Oflice ol couoty of l\u2019ortneuf, parish of Cap Santé.on the 24th of January, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon.Olivier Drolet vs Marie Lamothe (widow Jean Bte.Bergeron)\u2014A lot of land in Montcalm ward, St.Michel street, 28} feet in front by 10 feet in depth, with house and other baildings thereon.Sold in Sheriffs office, on the Sth of Junuary, at 10 o\u2019clock in the forenoon.Fisher Langlois va.Michel Gauvin\u2014A lot of land in Upper Town of Quebec, Couniliard street, 324 feet in front by 45 feet in depth, with a two story stone houee and a two story brick wing thereon erecied.2nd.A lot of land in parish of Ancienne Lorelte, Champigny, 14 arpents by 22 arpents.3rd.A lot of land in parish of Fief Bélair, uf § of an arpent by 30 arpente.4th, Another Jot in same parish.of 9 perches and 13 feet front by 30 arpunts.Sold es follows: Lot No.1 in SherifFs office, on the 8:h of January.at 10 o'clock in the forenoon ;

but we think the reader will agree with us that it ie not the lunguage of either sedition or treason.It is said that other evidence against the accusnd was produced ut his trial, consisting of certain expressions in lettera on business, written to his overseer at St.Thomas in-the-Iast ; but it is significant that not a line of this evidence has been given to the world.His merciless enemies dure not publish the letters ; bubthey mast some day, and that ere long, see the light, Gordon was tried on Saturday evening, and sentenced to be hanged ; but owing to the late- neps of the hour at which the trial terminated, the sentence was not earried into effect till early on Monday morning, nor was he informed of bis fate till one hour before his death.On learning that he was doomed.he asked for writing materials, and penned a most touching letter to his wife, of which the following i» an extract :\u2014\u201c I do not deserve the sentence, for I never advised or took part in any insurrection.All I ever did waa to recommend the people who complained to seek redress in a legitimate way ; and if inthis I have erred or have been misrepresented, I do mot think I deserve the extreme sentence.It is, however, the will of my Heavenly Father that I should thus suffer in obeying Ifis command to relieve the poor and needy and to protect, us fur aa [ was able, the oppressed.And glory be to His name, 1 thank Him that I suffer in thia cause.I can say, it is a great honor thus to suffer, fur the servant cannot be greater than bis Lord.I can now say with Paul the aged, \u2018 the hour of my departure is at hand, and I am ready to be offered up.Ihave fought a good fight, I have kept the faith, and henceforth there is Inid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me.\u2019 The letter bus n \u201c ring\u201d about it that bespeaks metal of the genuine stamp.Gordon met his death with true heroism.All honor to his memory! No mere accident of shame attending the manner of his death can tarnish the lustre of hia truly noble martyrdom.The Jamaica martyr wasa man of remarkable ability and energy, and great decision of charae- ter, Ie posscesced an intellect of no common order, und his eloguence\u2014for as a speaker he was eloquent\u2014though rough and unpolished, was of a most effective kind, ns his opponents frequently found to their cost.He wana man of warm heart and generous impulses, a sincere Christian patriot and philanthropist, ever ready to nest in every work of benevolence.Ile was of the Baptist persuasion, but nota clergym in us has been represented, although he ocensionally preached.We cannot better conclude the eketeh than by giving the following testimony to his warth, borne, since his death, by the Rev.Dr, King, the eminent Presbyterian minister of the City of Glasg iw.who visited Jamaiaa many years ago, and was Mr.Gordon's guest daring a portion of the time he spent in that island : \u201cThrough the reverses of the colony the father (S.W.Gordon,) from hing very rich came to lose all, and the colored son bought his estate, not, however, tn deprive him of it, but to leave lim an ocenpaney surronnded by tbe comlorta he had been accus tomed to enjoy.So acted the son of the bondwoman when the feclings of the father's white wife end her children would not allow him to enter the paternal abode.Yet, healways apoke to me with deferential regard for his iather, nnd never nitered a disreapeeifnl word regarding Mrs.Gordon.He was tenderly sensitive.One day, as we were walking together, he became pensive and absorbed, and, after ceasing for a little to npesk or listen, he requested me to stop aside with bim.He stopped before a alight elevation of the grass, and said to mo, with much emotion : * My mother is bucled thore; she was » negro ERE and a slave ; but she was 8 kind wother to me, aud [ loved her dearly.\u2019 As be uttered these words, his tears trickled down upon ber grave.The effurts of tbe son could not make the impor- crished father happy in Jamaica, where he bad loug beld a high position, aad it was arranged thut Mr.Gordon, er., with his family, should leave for the mother country, chiefiy, or exclusively, by the aid which George's filial munificence provided.When the day of departure was al hand, the son suid to me: \u2018 You know that I am not permitted to give my father valedictory attentions.I bave promised bim that you will do ro for me, and will accompany bim and his white family to the ship?\u201d These affecting reminiscences of Dr.King's show what manuer of man Gordon was, snd tend to deepen our regret at his untimely end.Untimely, we say; but only to buman vision, for, being dead he yet speaketh.\u201d MISCELLANEOUS.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ErsA IN Envrrion.\u2014During the few minutes which the dawn required lo eink from the upper heavens to the earth about us, we clambered over beds of black snow parted from each other by ridges of ush, till suddenly, on cresting one of the latter, u view broke upon us, which, among the nol few unusual views presented to me at various times by my good furtune, remains one of the most marvellous.On on: side the Mediterranean in perfect calm stretched out into infinity.except where the long wilbousette of the Calabrian hills, by their sweeping outlines, rather adding 1o tha taking from the repose of the sea and air, rose in misty grey against the pale citron of the clowly sky.Ou the other the snowy head of Etna, jist visible over its massive shoulders, was touched already by the, to us yet unrisen, sun, asd shone with transparent rose-colur, which was repeated more faintly on the stream floating gently upwards from ite top.On vither side the most'exquizite repose ; but in the centre, right before us, and not more than a quarter of u mile away, a hideous mis-zhapen lump shut out balf the £ky, which was darkened fir above and around bv rushing volumes of red smoke und by darting curls of steam.From the side of this cone, Lioken down at the part nearest to us, shot upwards volleys of stones and flame, which from the speed with which it was projected was simply a straight-cdged sheet of fire.Between us snd the crater lay a waste of fresh lava, still sending forth jets of steam, and quivering as from every pore, leaden in its colour, and fantastie in its shapes, ag is molten lel when thrown iuto water, Partly this had thwa from the crater over against us, partly from two others, one then quiescent, the second more active than that which was nearest Lo us, and both some distance further towards the upper slopes of the mouutain, Far away to the left (he united streams could be traced down a channel more than a mile in breadth, which they bad cut through the forest, Lill turning a corner they precipitated themselves to u lower level in the ugly travesty of an ice- fall-\u2014Corchil!
