You have, said his Lord- ship, entered into an explanation of cir- cumstances which you imagine differ from the statements of the witnesses of the for- mer trial. But, according to your own admission, the unfortunate man came to his death by your hands. Perhaps the other two prisoners whom I have con- demned to death may obtain an extenaa- tion of their sentence ; bul for you there is none. It seems impossible that, any clemency can be extended to you. J)u "not, then, believe that your life will be spared. It becomes my painful duty to pronounce the sentence. The sentence of the Court is, that you John O’Leary be taken from hence to the place from whence you came, and that you be taken from thence on the 4th day of March next to the place ol execution, and then be hanged by the neck until the budy be dead. And may God have mercy on your soul, and enable you to apply to him for that mercy, which he alone can ex- tend to you. Several persons were then discharged by proclamation, and thus ended the pre- sent Assizes. PROSPECT OF SCARCITY. From tho Daily Leader. In several parts of the country, there is scarcely a bushel of wheat leit. During the whole of January Air. Perry, of (Jo- bourg cou'd not purchase, in the market of that place, twenty bushels of wheat. Millers irom Napauee and Belleville are up west buying wheat for h >me coiistiinp tion. And Air. Youug, of Montreal, is reported lo have purchased 20,000 brls. of flour in Liverpool, for shipment to Montreal. Wheat, in tins country, bids fair soon to reach the prices which jtre- vailed a few years a^o ; and there 'Seems every probability that dour may reach ten dollars a barrel before next harvest, in Kincardine, one ot the townships ol .Bruce, the population is said to be on the point of starvation, owing to the iaiUiri of the crops. AM throughout Upper Ca- nada the harvests have been siiurt, during the last two years ; occasion d ciiielly by the ravages of ihe lU and rust, and , art!) , last year, in some places, by a visitation of the all devouring grasshopper, which is probably identical with the locusts which, sacred history te!ls us,, used to cr* ate such terribie devastations in Lgypt. Over a considerable portion of the o d Newcastle d'strict,5 grasshoppers, coining Irom the south, literally eating up almost eve y green thingâ€"wheat, turnips, oats and every other crop. They cropped off the wiid lice in Rice Lake, on t.ieir way. They appeared in myna.is. completely co- vering the su: face of Lake Ontario, in some places, with the dead, which at some points washed asboie in heaps, tsorne oi ^the farmers set ail their hands to woik to drive the enemy back with bushes. One farmer of Hamilton townslii;: sometimes had over half u hundred men al war with the invader, it was possible by this means to drive them back. A < unous and unique action has been instituted by a farmer in West Northumberlaiid, to claim damages from his neighbor ior driving grasshoppers upon his farm. The cause of tlie4ailure oi the crops was only local ; but it was sufficiently extensive and threatening to merit inqre notice than it obtained. The wheat fly is the great enemy to that crop ; a nt I<t sometime past, every year its ravages, in Upper Ca- nada, have extended over a wider area. And il is not certain that the worst, oi these causes ol the failure of the wheat crop has been seen. We know hut too well that, in Lower Canada, the}' went so far as almost to put an entire stop to ‘he cultivation ot wheat, it ii not likely, however, that, with equal cultivation wheat woul I not be just as free from the ravages of the fly in Canada as in any other country, it is a well ascertained >fect that since cultivation was carried to to the high point it has now reached in England, the depredations of the wheat fly have almost ceased. Would not a iimilar course of cultivation produce a similiar effect here'? Cii cumstam es are investing this question with an omin uis importance, if the price of breadstuff's continue to rise, and employment nnnai . as scarce as at present, there is a gloomy prospect for the poor between this and next harvest. Dining the inflated prices of 1855 and 1856, employment was plenti- ful and wages partook of the same infla- tion as every thing else. But a scarcity of employment co exists with a high and constantly advancing pric* of breadstulls; the worst possib’e condition of things for the poor. Th** number of lqJ>orers who have left the cities and their families, to seek work in the country, appears to be alarmingly great. Mendicancy swarms in the streets ; and committees of rebel have been established in places where no such thing ever existed before. In the lower stratum of soeiety there is a worse pressure than the m mey pressure felt by (hose above them : the pressure of hunger Nothing short of a good harvest can oi ing the needful remedy. northern tier away up to the outskirts of ihe Union. We might be reconciled to this degree of fate could we be insu.eu that (lie linger of destiny would stop writ- ing. But there can be no such assurance. The busy inistic concern is even now writing Cuba, Senora, and there seems to be just enough ink led on its nail to finish up Mexico and write out Central Ame- rica. Under these circumstances the serious question arises ‘ what is to be- come of us of the northern tier?’ Will we remain inactive and let the country gradually steal away from us, or will we lay hold of destiny's finger and make it write something for us. With the acqui sition of the British Provinces we jump straight back to the centre of the Union, and instead oj being opfosed on the fron- tier of the country we should repose in se- curity far from the reach of foreign foes But understand that we must gel these Provinces honorably and peacefully, it is proposed to give the President $3,000,000 for the purpose of enabling him to negoti- ate for the purchase flf Cuba, a little b t of an i*land that we could hide away in our great lakes and still have room to do a large business. Let us give some body $30,000,000 lo negotiate for the purchase of these Provinces. in one trade we get an island, some sugar pi m- talions and naif a million of niggers â€" some real wild ones,â€" and in another we gel half of North Ameiica, plenty of gold diggings, immense forests of timber, and 3,000,000 of white men. With the ac- qmsition of Brit sh America we should have the undisputed right to the North pole for a liberty pole, make a skating li Id of our lakes, a fishing pond of Hud- son Bay, and use ihe Northern Rocky Mountains lo slide down hill from. Be- sides all I hose we should be in a condition to rush acioss B_'hnng Straits some day, and seize the Eastern Hemisphere.

The raie which the Jjoan) has laid down, o exclude all persons be.ng members ol ,se- ciet societies from eligibility to appoint- ment, wou!d of itself necessitate Mr. Sher- wood's removal.

Up to the pre- sent time the expansion has been to the south and west. We have seen our bord ers gradually extended step by step, till they rest, on the Pacific Ocean and skirt half the gulf of Mexico.
