A HARD FIGHT BETW'EEN A MAN AND A Bonnâ€"The Norfolk Reformer relates the following singular occurrence as having ta- ken place in the township of Walsingham :â€" “Mr. Abram Brandow had a very narrow es- cape one day last week from being killed by a horse. He went into a field to catch his horse, and as soon as he got near the animal it pitched at him in a determined and savage manner, biting Brandow fearfnlly. Brandow is a strong, man, and a good horseman, and he fought the horse as long as he could with the bridle, but finding that it did not heed that weapon, he threw his arms around the horse’s neck and his feet around its fore legs. While in this position he threw the_horse down.â€" “We are likely to have some frontier dif- ficulties with England on the northwest coast of America. You are aware that the Russian American Company owns a long strip of land extending from the fifty- -fifth degree of lati~ rude to the rev ocean, the seat of government of which is at New Archangel, on the Island c? Sitka. At the southern extremity of this territory, on the river Stakhin or Stikean, very rich gold diggings have been lately discover- ed, and there has been a rush 0t adventurers trom British Columbia, who have settled down there without taking any notice of the Rus- sian authorities. They say that, as the river has its source in British territory, the mouth must belong to them too, and if Russia will not give it up voluntarily they will take it by force. We understand that the Board of Di- rectors of the Russian American Company have reported to government or: this subject, and that Admiral P0potf, who commanded our squadron in the Pacific, will receive, or has already received, instrustions to proceed to the Stakhin with one or more of the vessels under his order to protect the interests of the company against these British filibusterers.” This, of course, broke his hold, and the horse soon got up again and continued the fight with renewed severity. Finally, Brandow threw himself flat upon the ground, gving up all hopes, the horse continuing to bite him for some time after he lay perfectly still.â€" Even after the animal had‘left and gone some distance it returned and bit Brandow several times. Strange to say, the horse did not strike or attempt to stamp the man, but tried and did kneel .on him, as if trying to crush him with his knees. Brandow had his clothes almost entirely tom OH, and from one of his n-ms the flesh." Total. . . . . . .................... $200,175 The Spanish pilot also claims damages to the amount of $50, 000. Dispute as to the Stickeen Gold Diggings. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the New York lie-raid, in_a late letter,‘ says :â€" FORT Max:012, Oct. 28.-â€"A man who says he was taken prisoner by the Confederates several months ago. and who finally succeed- ed in obtaining his release, furnishes the folâ€" lowing account of the Merrimac No. ‘2zâ€"I have been in Richmond some time. During.r my stay] went on board the Merrimac No. 2. She is thoroughly and heavily iron-clad, and is in every way a tough customer. She has been completed about a month and has al- ready made several trips to Fort Darling.â€" She has as yet but one gun on board, but all all the other guns for her were ready. “7th llelt,'.he Confederates were about putting the remainder of the guns on board, and they intended to have them mounted in about three weeks. The machinery of the Merrimac No. ‘2. works well, and she can easily make 8 miles an hour, The Confederates have every confidence in capabilities, and are certain that she will prove a success. The Destruction of the Blanche. The Havana correspondent of the New York florid, under the date Oct. 20, gives the following particulars of the wanton des- truction of the “Blanche” by a Federal cap- tam:â€" The captain of the Blancheâ€"an English- manâ€"states that when he saw the Mont- gomery was pursuing his vessel, he ran into the bay of Marianao, a summer resort near Havana, and anchored near the shore. He then sent his Spanish pilot on shore to obtain the protection of the Spanish authorities. The pilot returned with the naval official and an attendant, and shortly after the Spanish flag was hoisted over the 'British one, to show that the ship was under Spanish protection. In the meantime, two boats were sent from the Montgomery, and the Blanche boarded. The captain of the latter vessel states that the American official asked of what his cago con- sisted, and upon being informed that it was Cotton, he asked if he did not know that it was contraband of war. To this the captain replied that he did not know that it was when on board of an English vessel in a neutral port, and demanded to know by what right his vessel was b0arded in neutral waters. He was told by the American oflicial that his or- ders were to capture the Blanche at all haz- ards, and he propose to do it, and send the crew as prisoners on board the Montgomery; as for the question of right, he would leave the two governments to settle it. This Eng- lish captain states further violence was used toward him and his crew, and even toward the Spanish officialâ€"the latter having been ordered from the ship at the mouths of pistols. Just then the Blanche took fire, and a or having been made that there was powder on board, the Americans rushed for their boats, and the crew of the Blanche did likewise.~â€" The latter escaped to land, where they were compelled to witness the burning of their ship. The captain concludes his statement with a bill for the United States government amount- ing to $200,175 thus :â€" The steamer Blanche ........... $50,000 583 bales cotton .................. 131,175 Loss of the crew ................ . 19,000 The American Civil War. “Since I wrote you per Saxon nothing has happened to startle us, and we still tall: of the Surprise and Blanche “outrage.” The con- signees of these vessels have publicly thank- ed the Spanish men-of-war who went to their aid. The captain, mate, and crew of the Blanche have entered their protest against the United States cruiser that drove her ashore on the coast of Cuba and then set fire to her.â€" The Diario de la .Marina states that the gov» ernment ol the United States will have to pay $200,175 damages. NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-- The British steamer W'achuta was brought into Port Royal on Thursday last, a prize to the gnnboat Mem- this, commander Wartmangh. She was cap- tured after a {all day’s chase off the coast of North Carolina. She threw overboard the greater portion of her cargo, and so strained her engines as tobe unable to make steam. She is belieyed to have been loaded with arms and ammunition. The Wanhuta is an iron steamer built in London, and will prove a valuable priza. “'Mr, Frazer, in supporting the resolution, referred to the objectionable and unconstitu- tional clauseâ€"“The mode of settling differ- ences between trustees and teachers in refer- ence to salary, is by arbitration; from this there can be no appeal. A second cannot be legally called if justice is not obtained by the first. The law of Great Britain protects eve- ry class in this respect, but the law of Up- per Canada is somewhat different. We trust the day is not far distant when this state of things will terminate, assured that it has only to be made known, that it may be con- demned by all honest men. We would urge upon teachers the necessity of exposing, through the journals of the province, the evil bearings of the act upon themselves, and en. joy the common birthright of all law-abid- ing British subjects.” The above will no doubt be an active stimu- lus to the inhabitants of this section in their further efforts to obtain their rights in School Reform at the coming session of Parliament. Now is the time to commence operations; and let there be a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether. MONEY W ANTEDrâ€"Partzes indebt- ed to this nflice will do well to bear in mind that prompt payment will save trouble. Our patience is nearly exhausted. POLITICAL matters are at a low ebb of in- terest. “"e are occasionallytreated to a dose of fulsome: adulation of the present incum- bents of otlice by the journals who prefer party to policy. The burden of their song is' Retrenchment. This is he'd out as a soliatnm for the abnegation of principle by the Upper Canada members of the Cabinet. True, good works may atone in part for the commission of crime; but we have yet to learn Mr. How- land’s financial scheme is as good, or better than that of his predecessor, Mr. Galt. [n- dced he appears to have copied Mr. Galt’s plan entire, consequently we might naturally expect that the annual deficit would be the sameâ€" or less under economical Grit ruleâ€" under either management. Mr. Galt, in his financial statement before the House last Ses- sion of Parliament said that the expenditure for the present year would be $768,000 in ex- cess of the income. This naturally produced a storm of honest Grit indignation. But now that they have obtained power to make both ends meet, we anxiously look forward to the coming session. However, a few incontro- vertible faets in connection with their man- agement may not be amiss at this time. “ Moved by G. J. Frazer, seconded by Wm. McAndrew, “that the present School Law is neither just nor satisfactory to the teacher, debarring him, as it does, from access to the civil tribunals for the recovery of his earn- ingsâ€"a privilege denied to no other British subject.”â€"-Carried unarximouslx.” a? The Indian Land sale at Owen Sound on theg‘lnd ult., was a total failure. Per- haps lb? negociationa for the surrender of Manitoufin Island .by the Indians maybe eqnaH}, satisfactnry. Among other evrls of the present ’School Law we have frequently pointed out the de- grading position occupied by the Common School Teacher. In general, this class of in- dividuals play Court to the Local Superinten- dents, while the latter, in about the same pro- portion to their numbers, play the sycophant to the Chief Superintendent. We say there are exceptions in both classes; and nothing is to us more refreshing than the manly, out- spoken demand for liberty by the Teacher.â€" The Teachers’ Association of the County of Oxford, at its meeting on the 25th ult., car- ried the following resolution: unanimously :â€" County of Oxford School Teach- ers’ Association and the Common School Law. Of the many tliscreditable transactions per- petrated by the present Ministry there is none more glaring than the “Ottawa Commission.” They appointed a number of their hungry friends to investigate the work done on the Ottawa Buildings. This Commission has “ sat” during the past three months, at a cost to the country of Ten Dollars per day, each man ; and this at a time when there has been a heavy failure in the crops, and money among the things at the past. But, the public of Upper Canada sinned in giving ear or li- cense to such demagogues, and there is no doubt they will pay the full penalty of their crimeâ€"T he entire cost of the commission is upwards of Fifty Thousand Dollars. Last session the sum of five hundred thou- sand dollars was voted for the completion of Ottawa Buildingsâ€"mot one farthing of this money has been appropriated thereto, but has been spent in other ways. The sum of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars was voted for the organization of the Militiaâ€"not one farthing otthis money has been so spent, but squandered, among the several Departments. which we were told could be wrought at half their former cost. Had these sums, although misappropriated, made a clear balancessheet at the end of the year, as they should have done, we would have little fault to find; but when we find that in addition to this there Will be one million dollars worth of shinplasters issued to make up the defi- ciency of the present year, we think it high time to consider the prudence of allowing such men to longer hold the reins of office.

GLENELG CouscrL.-â€"At the last sitting of Glenelg Council there was considerable busi- ness transacted, but not of general import- ance.

The Montgomery continued her pursuit, compelled her to wear around and ran her ashore six miles north of Moro Castle. The sea Alcade, who had watched her movements from the shore, took a boat, and with two or three other men, went on board the Blanche,on which he hoist- ed the Spanish flag as a sign that she was under the protection of the Spanish Govern- ment. At the same time Captain Hunter of the Montgomery, ordered two boats with arm- ed men to go on board the Blanche and to take forcible possession uffltfihe vessel. His Excellency the Governor-General has issued a proclamation for thanksgiving. It sets forth that he has taken into consideration “the duty which our loving subjects of our Province of Canada owe to Almighty God‘for the manifold blessings which they haters- ceived at His hands, and especially for the abundant harvest and continuance of peace with which He has blessed our said Province during the present year.” Thursday, the fourth day of December is the day set apart for this purpose. The proclamation appears in the Canada Gazette of Saturday.-â€"Leader The New York Tibu-ne of Wednesday gives the following particulars of a gross out- rage committed by the commander of a F ed- eral war vessel upon an English merchant vessel in Spanish waters: “ 0n the 8th of the present month the mer- chant ship Blanche, ‘Captain Smith, carrying the English flag, formerly engaged in the trade between New Orleans and Cuba, but sold since the war, to an English house, was coming from Matamoras to Cuba, when 'sbe stopped at a small port called Mulata to take on coal. She then sailed for Havana with a Spanish pilot on board. When near that place and off Mariana, she saw at a distance an American ship running toward her with all speed. The ship proved to be the guuboat Montgomery, Capt.

La France says that the Proclamation comes too late either to convince the world,i or to be of practical effect in the South. It is like proclaiming Abolition in a foreign coun- try; thinks that in his generosity Mr. Lincoln might as well have emancip::ted all the slaves in the universe. The Proclamation, therelore, the France says, is addressed more to North than the South. It is a scheme which looks no higherthan a general butch- ery of defenceless‘women and children. But, Mr. Lincoln, this paper thinks, will be pre- vented from proceeding farther in this under- taking, for the Democracy of the North are rising up to overthrow him, and to initiate a policy of compromise and peace. The Patric says:â€" “It is evident that Mr. Lincoln proclaims the abolition of slavery just as he would pro- claim. if he could, the billage of property in slave States. It is not an act ofhumanity he proposes to accomplish, since he excepts con- ditionally the States which may remain faith- ful to the Union; it is a flat contradicrion which he thus gives to those writers who have persisted in maintaining that the Ameri- can war was commenced for the emancxpation of the blacks.” ‘Liberty, it is now proven, has nothing to do with this bloody butchery ,of which the consequence will, perhaps,unfrirtu- nately be to retard for a long time the liber- ation of the slaves on American soil.’ “The Proclamation, taken asthe whole, says this : ,â€"You who adopt our policy will have our fa- lvors and protection ; yen who refuse to come to us we will follow with our hate, with pil- lage and with rum.

H Merritt of St. Cather- ines, bound down the lake from Chicago, heavily laden with corn, was caught about 6 o’clock in the evening in the evening in a violent gale when 6 miles off Port Aux Bar- qnes on the other side of Lake Hur in. See- ingr the squall approaching, Captain Murray ordered 5 men aloft to take in the sails. But the time was too short,'the squall tearing down towards the vessel with terrific violence, and ere the man aloft r-ould obey the order to descend, it had struck the schooner on beam, snapping both masts and bowsprit like so many pipestcms and carrying them both over- board. At that moment 4 men were on the fore yard furlingthe square sail, the other .lohn(or Jas.) Fiux being on the mainmast forling the mamgall topsail. The masts fell top first carry- ing the 5 men along with them. Flux never came to the surface. but the others saved themselves almost by a miracle. The fore-- mast being held by the rigging was dragged alongside b} the speed of the vessel, which was driven through the water at the rate of 15 knots an hour, thus saving the men’s lives. The wreck was then cutaway and the com pletely denuded hull drifted at the mercy of the waves until it was carried across" the Lake in the regular drift of all N.
