Certain it is, he has been over-cau- tions in his intercourse with Orangernen, keeping them at bay as though they were ferocious animals or stigmatized pariahs. The Duke having heard that the Orange- .enof Kingston had erected an arch, refus- ed to land from the steamer on which he ems {ton Bmckville, until all display of Orangeism was pat aside.

Although everything passed off quietiy in Toronto, the Jeeling was intense. Last Satur- day evening the Duke, with a few other members of the suite, walked on foot from Government House to examine the Orange arch, when they were greeted with yells, groans, and hisses. The occurrence at King- ston will be long remembered to the discredit of the Secretary for the Colonies. The Presbyterian Church of Canada pre- sented an address at Montreal, by the Rev. Dr. Mathieson, Moderator of the Synod.â€" Itwas the original intention to present it atKinB ston, consequently there was no reply ready. It was suggested by the Governor General, that the address be left to be read at some other time. This has been construed into an insult by the Clear Grits. The Presbysteri- an deputation presented their address at Kingston, on board His Royal Highness’ vessel, which is an evzdence they did not think it an insult. The Prince arri1ed in Toronto on the eve- ning of the 7th inst. The recept1on was the the most magnificent that the Prince has met since his arrival on the continent. The city was decorated with numerous arches, one of wh1ch was erected by the Orangemen, much to the displeasurs of the duke of New- castle, who took the mayor to task for not having informed him that it contained a tran- sparency, on which was painted “’illiam III, Prince of Orange, and, worst of all, the arch was a fac simile of the famous Gates of Derry. The mayor apologized for, we sup- pose, his want of fine sense and discrimination in that which would be appropos to his ex- cellency. The Orangemen marched in pro- cession through the principal part of the city during the afternoon, but divested them- selves of their robes, regalia, c., before the Prince arrived. The following is the The Free Masons were invited to take part in the ceremony of laying the founda- tion stone of the new Parliament buildings; but owing to some re-arrangement of the pro- gramme, they were excluded.

ADDRESS THE DURHAM STANDARD, DURHAM, SEPTEMBER 14, 1860 account of the foolhardy performance upon a rope at N iagma Falls, by one Wm. Hunt, of Bowmanville, otherwise known as Signor Farini: “ About 4 o’clock, as per advertisement, Farim appeared in the inclosurs. On either side of the river, perhaps two thousand per- aong awaited the spectacle. He was dressed in tights as usual, but had on moccasins in- stead of rubbers. Some pounded rosin serv- ed to keep them from slipping on the rope. Before venturing on the great feat, Farini went out a few hundred feet. on the cable, and examined it and its guys carefully. A- bout an hour was occupied in tightening it and putting weights on the guys. * * . . The insane individual who was about to trust his life on Farini’s back, lounged about in the inclosure while the preparations were be- ing made, with the most supreme unconcern. He is a Canadian, from Bowmanville, Meg Millen by name, anda head taller‘ than the . acrobat, long-necked and lank, and with a quiet sang froid in his mannet: which be- speaks pluck. A few minutes after 5 all was ready, and McMillan hoisted his legs into a sort of truss which hung from Farini’s shoalâ€"I ders, and the march began. The excitement t at this moment was intense, and bets were i even as to the successful issue of the strange ? expedition. The limbs of the ropewalke‘r‘ trembled visibly beneath the weight he’TEar: ried, a burden of 200 weight (counting pole and man) being no feather, to bear along such a pathway. lt evidently went hard, and Fa- rini picked his steps down the manilla steep wrth death-andâ€"li'e precision. About 50 feet out the peril seemed to increase. His pole again caught in the guys, and he labored with it fearfully. McMillan slid from his back, and, like one to the manner born, walked step fxrr step behind his master, steadying himself by” his hold on Farini’s shoulders. This duet they kept up for some distance, McMillan apparently being as cool as a cucumber, looking round and :aking ob- servat ions. About one-fourth of the way out, both sat down astride of the rope and held a tetea téte, McMillan, the only one who had a cap, waving it at his friends on the bank, Another-walk in the same perilous Indian file erught them nearly to the middle of the repeggriflereapother rest was taken, and F a- ririif_‘2png himself under his neighbor and teck'pDSitiog__ ahead, facing back toward the American std?" again. Three-{curths'cf the homeward journey, Farini accomplished ac- cording to programme.

The embellishment thus given to likenesses surpasses the utmost stretch of imagination. “’e were invited to witnesss yesterday at Yonkers a trial of a machine for digging stones and building wall. The novelty of a machine for such labor excited a good deal of incredulity as to the possibility of substituting mechanical for manual labor in this the hardâ€" est of farm work, and it was dificult to be- lieve the statement of Mr. Knapp, who is in- troducing the machine into the River Conn- ties of this State, that it would take rocks of five tuns weight out of the ground, without digging around them. I I An 9' e1_ “'UD"'D "' ‘ ‘ ut seeing is believing. And at 9 o’clock yesterday morning, we saw the machine in actual operation, taking out bowlders weigh- ing from one to five tons, and from one-half to seven -eighths under ground, at the rate of one every three minutes. The machine is a compact and stout iron windless on wheels, drawn by one pair of oxen. while another pair immediately in front of them are hitched to a rope which works the windless through cog-wheels, multiplying the power some twenty times. The windless can also be worked by hand in which case the power is multiplied twice or three times as much-â€" Two very heavy chains are fastened to and reeled upon the barrel of the Windlass ; they support a hook in whose jaw is hung a piece of chain which can easily be lengthened or '"l'l’ of chain which can easily be lengthen-ed or shortened. This chain is reeved through the shanks of the huge hooks which take hold of the rocks. The rocks are previously fitted for ‘ the machine by drilling holes in opposnte sides ‘ about three- uarters of an inch deep. The machine is riven over a rock;the mass at the windless, which is so high that a rock of l five or six tuns can be lifted two feet from: the ground, lowers the great grappling hooks; the man below ad'usts their points in the holes in the sides oilthe rocks, lengthening or shortening the chain holding the hooks as the rock is larger or smaller; the man a: the Windlass then tightens the slack, while the lman below gets up on the machine; then both heave. at the Windlass. l f they do not start the rock, the driver helps them. and if the three cannot, it is given up as liable to break the machine. If they do start it, they tell the driver to go ahead, and he drives on the forward team, winding up the Windlass.

It is a wonder that among all the inventive Yankees who have spent so many lifetimes digging out rocks with spades, and levers, and chains, and oxen, nobody should have‘ thought of this before. Mr. S. E. Bolles of ‘ Plymouth, Mass.,the inventor of the machine, ‘gtt his patent for it five years ago but it is only lately, and through an enterprising far- mer, that it has been brought to the notice of lthe public. The machines appear to be very solidly built. They weigh a little over a ton, and cost, aside from the pa‘ent right to use them, $225. Messrs. Knapp Co. ofier to take out all the rocks weighing between one and five tons, on any ordinary piece of ground in the counties for which they hold the patent right, at $17 per hundred. They say it costs three or four times as much to do it in the old way, and that many pieces of ground, which would not pay for clearing up in the old way, can now be smoothed oil at a profitâ€"N. Y. Tribune. The Prince arrived here at“ 8 o’clock this evening. He had been expected for sveral hours. A message having been received to the effect that he had left Ottawa at 5 a. m. The Mayor and Corporation, the Warden and County Council, as- also other functionaries, a number of Five Companies with their En- gines, and a crowd of some ten thousand peo- ple out of doors, besides those in the houses, had consequently been waiting, and with most exemplary patience. In front of the Station a platform, covered with tapestry carpet, had been built and roofed in with cambric, in alternate stripes of pink and blue. The sides of the pavilion thus formed, were ornamented with rosettes and with crimson and white lace curtains. There were six tri- umphal arches, chiefly of green spruce trees in various parts of the town ; the first being just below the platform, the last just above the steamboat wharf. It was fortunate that preparations had also been made for an il- lumination, for it was dark when the train , which bore him came into the station. Lan- lterns and locomotive lights were placed all round the tents; the firemen set fire to their. torches, of which there were at least three hundred; the inhabitants of the town lit up their windows, and night was thus almost turned into day. On arriving the Mayor and cvrporation of the town presented their ad- dress, as also the County Councilâ€"but what the ceremony was no body could possible di- vine. The noisy and disorderly crowd push- ed pas’. the constables, mounted the platform steps, pressed in upon the Council. and upon the Royal party themselves, and it was only after some trouble and little difficulty, that the Prince and suite were safely ushered in- to their carriages. When, however, this was done. a very beautiful sight was presented ; the firemen walked on each side of llis Royal Higlincss’s, carrying not only torches but an infinite quantity of Roman candles, and the various coloured tire and smoke of all these produced an ellect much to be enjoyed, it not by the Prince who was close by. at least by the spectators at a. distance.

Seared}! a day passed without rain falling more or less, and the consequence ts that, in the neighbourhood of York, a considerable av- reage of hay has yet to Le secured. whilst any appearance of ripening maturity in the grain crops is scarcely percertihle. It is impos- sible to say when harvest will commerce, and more impossihle still to predict when it will end ; and unless we have a decidedly favourable change of the weather very soon, it will be the latest harvest for nearly half a century. Should this take place we may hope to reap a wheat crap of good yield and fair qualitv; but, on the other hand, there are causes for solicitude. Late harvests are always lengthy, and, should the weather be fickle as days shorten, we may not only have a tedious but a dangerous harvest. The rains, we learn, have done great damage to the po-‘ tato crops growing on the low land adjoining the Case, and one farmer alone, residing near Selby, has ploughed up a hundred acrea, which have been completely destroyed by being covered with water. On Wednesdav evening, the 4th inst, about 11 o’clock, the tannery of R. Craw- ford, Senr., was discovered to be on fire.â€" Though Water was near, it was found to be too late to extinguish it.

W., by the pmprietors, WILLIAM GILLESPY and ALEX- ANDERE‘ROBERTSON. It is issued daily, semi-weekly, and weckiy, and has the largest circulation of any Canadian paper west. of Toronto. From the particular attention paid to Commer cial inteiligenee, the Spectator has aequireda rep utation for reiiability, which has secured for it the Patronage of the Mercantile Community of Wes-#- tern Canada. The geographical position of the City of Hamilton. with its superior Railway con nection, affords great fac'lity for the speedy trans mission of the Daily Spectator to the numerous thriving towns and villages between the Niagara and Detroit Rivers,â€"an advantage of whichthe proprietors have not failed to avail themselves The Semi-IVcelrly and lVecklu editions (made up from the reading matter in the Uaiiy) containing a great amount. of news, at an extremely low price, enjoy a large and extended circulation among the agricultural classes, and those not immediately engrossed with the cares of politics or commerce, to whom the stimulus of a daily paper is not. a. necessity. __ __ A. n "o - - C "V C C \_ The Spectator (Daily,Semi-Weel<ly and Weekly) is therefore an excellent medium for advertising. The rates charged are the same as the published rate, generally adopted by the Canadian press, except for the weekly edition, for which double the usual rate is charged, on account of its large circulation being confined almost. exclusively to the farming community, thereby admitting only the profituhle publication, in its columns, of ad- vertisements suited to this particular class. 213’ The rates of subscription, payable in .fld- vance, are :â€" Daily, per annum . . . . . . . . . . $5.00 per copy.

CLUBS. The success of the clubbing system as a. means of supplying the public with CHEAP NEWS has already been tested by the Spectator. The plan, which was at first only applied to the chelrly has now been extended to the Scmi- [Vac/sly edition, and the rates payable in advance are, Semi- “Eddy/,5 ormore cepiesfi’x‘z a year per cepy ll’cefl'ly, 10 or more copies, (,1 a year per copy {13’ When Clubs are sent to ONE ADDRESS one copy for every five Semi- Hire/sly or ten lVeekly will be given FREE to the getter up of the club,- but where each paper is addressed from the officer of publication no free papers will be given. THE CASH SYSTEM In announcing to the public the adoption of the ‘ Cash System as applied to subscriptions, the pro- prietors of the Spectator ma 3' remark, that. it has. alrea dy been approved by all, and adopted by many Canadian neWSpapers, with mutual profit tea: the publishers and the public. The Credit System, . ihowever advantageous in other departments of" i business, has nothing to recommend its application i to ’cwspapers, for while the individual Subscrip-v l tions are so trifling that neither hardship or ditl‘i- : culty can result from payment in advance, the !aggregate amount is a matter of serious consc- | quence to the publisher, and the expense of collee- |tion and losses form a heavy item which he is | compelled to levy on the honest subscriber who- ! takes the benefit of the credit; hence the public can understand Why newspapers cost 20 or 25 pm" 3 cent. more at the end than at the beginning: of the ’ year. The abolition of such a system will no I doubt meet with the approval of the public, and .While \xe will give every subscriber now in our l books reasonable time to pa y up arrearag‘es. we shall not. in future receive any subscribers but those who pay in advance.
