The public need not be dismayed by the rumors which have been set afloat, “that it will be impossible to negociate the deben- tures,” for we have been credibly informed that an extensive Road Company have offered to take the making of the Garafraxa Road at a fair valuation, and for payment will take our debentures at par; and no doubt the other roads can be made on equally advantageous terms. , The initiative has been taken by Mount Forest, at the extreme Southern limits of the County, and we hope the ball thus set m mo- tion, will not be allowed to 530;), until it shall have traversed the length and breadth of the County before the next sitting of the Council. This movement, we hope, wiH not be al- lowed to rest here, but that every locality throughout the County will enter a similar profist and request. Since the making of the roads is a settled fact, why not commenee the work at once, when there are so many advantages to be gained by prosecuting it now. The would-be plausible reasons for delaying the work, as- signing as a cause, “the inability of the peo- ple to pay the interest on the debentures,” and “ wait for another crop. c.,” isxnere po- litical gammon, designed to delay a project which may, at a future day, subserve selfish interests. The manner in which the inhabitants of Mount Forest have gone to work, shews a determination on their part not to be baffled, and is truly characteristic of their zeal in any public enterprise they may undertake, which might be copied with advantage by our own denizens.

TORCH-LIGHT PROCESSION. Alter dark 3 beautiful scene was presented to the eye, by the appearance on the Grand River, near Middleport,of some twelve canoes filled with Indians, each holding in his hand a torch light. In this manner they rowed, in regular order, up and down the river to a late hour, amid the booming of cannon, when the Whole company adjourned to the splendid residence of Chief G.H.M. Johnson, situated on the banks of the river near the village of Miildleport, where they were hos pitably en- tertained by the worthy host. This termi- nated the day’s proceedings, and all sought their homes quietly and soberlyâ€"happy with the manner in which the day had been spent.

AN ARDENT EXPLORER.â€"Ladislaus Magyar,~ a Hungarian, in the h0pe of reaching the if}? terior with more certainty, has married the daughter of the neoro King of Bihe, in Upper Guinea. Having L3h)? this step become gen- eral-in-chief of the. armies of his father-in- law, he makes use of his newly-acquired authority to facilitate his researches. A suit, involving legal points of the very highest importance in respect to joint stock companies, hasjust been commenced at To- ronto. The Provincial Insurance Company of that city has brought an action against several of its shareholders to recover calls, which, it appears, are, or were when they were made necessary to make up losses, which had been incurred by the company.â€" The first case which has came into court is that of the Provincial Insurance Company vs. 'Bell. The defendent pleaded that he had been induced to become a shareholder from false and fraudulent representations, includ- ing the payment of dividends and bonuses, and that the Company, therefore, could not claim from him the amount of this call. This opinion was, it was said, in accordance with anumber of judicial decisions in England, where stockholders had been held to be reâ€" leased from their liabilities to the Company, by the proof that they had been entrapped. On the other side, it was argued that these decisions had not received the assent of the Lord Chancellor of England, who held that the shareholders in a Joint Stock Company being partners, one of them could not plead the frauds of his co-partners, in order to es- cape liability, and thus destroy the fund from whence innocent third parties, dealing with the company might be paid. The opinion of a writer in the London Law Magazine was cited in support of this view. The directors, or even individual shareholders, making false representations, might be made to pay the damages which suCh misrepresentations had caused; but third parties, believing that they were dealing with a company composed of certain individuals, could not, on account of frauds between these individuals, with which they, the third parties, had no concern, be i told that any member of the company Was exonerated from his liability. Mr. Justice Richards, who tried the case, appeared to think that the latter view of the law was the correct one, otherwise, persons dealing with Joint Stock companies would be subject to continual frauds. But he doubted whether he ought to act in the face of judicial decisi- ons the other way; and as to the opinion of the‘Lord Chancellor, it did not appear that it had been pronounced as a judicial decision. His Lordship, therefore, on this occasion, the practical point involved being only as to the admission of evidence, adhered to the actual decisions, and determined to admit the evi- dence of false representation.

This isa gigantic undertaking, and not less in importance, to the people of Canada atlarge. Much of the traffic now conveyed by the Erie canal and various lines of railroad in the State of New York, will find its natural outâ€"let to the Atlantic through this canal and the river St. Law- rence. A few days since we were shewn the nest of three different species of birdâ€"the black- bird, pee-vee and robinâ€"each having located themselves severally on tho grist, carding, and saw-mill of Mr Paterson of this town. The former had built on the outside of the window-sill of the fourth story of the grist- mill, although not very strange, is certainly rare. The second located itself on a cross- bar between two posts, to which is attached a heavy shaft belonging to the machinery of the carding mill, and from its power and ve- locity, keeps the nest with its young inmates, constantly jarring, likewise a deafening noise and in close proximity to the workmen and others, which does not appear to discommode it in the least. The robin has snugly en- sconced itself on the beam towhieh is attach- ed a m‘uly saw, making- nearly three hundred cuts per minute, and so close to the machinery, that portions of the nest- have at. times been detached. Birds frequently exhibit a strange instinct, in the places they choose in which to build their nests. Once they have chosen an abode, no inconvenience or disturbance will cause them to remove. This IS the most audacious action we ever heard of being perpetihited in this Country, and hope the Magistrates of Brant and Ben- tinck will conjointly take such steps as will bring the offenders to justice, and strike terror to all evil-duets.

A few days after, two constables pro- ceeded from Walkerton to Campbellton in this township, to arrest a number of persons named Campbell and Farrell, but failed. i They were returning home, and had just pass- i ed the village ot Hanover, when six of the aforennmed persons, mostly armed with dou- ble-barrelled guns, overtook them, and de- manded any weapons the Constables might have on their persons, and with their guns pointed to the Constables’ breasts, compelled them to eat the warrants.
