The Minister of War has the facts, and these are in favour of a soldier‘s life. Between 20 and 30 of age.in civil life, the mortality is ‘3*979 in 100 ; in the army it is 0â€"960.in the 100. The main question, after lall, is, how many per cent of these men jhad the utâ€" most enjoyment of life of which they were capable consistently with the good of their kind, class for class, and w%ich of the classes contributed most to the greatness of the country and to their own happiness ? â€"â€"Ihid. b â€"France has a" peace society, which lives, if it do s not flourish, and that is a good deal, considering the soil and cireumâ€" stances. _ Lately one of theliterary gentleâ€" nien connected with its interests published an article, in which he 'deelantrnthat, m middle classes, and i:‘i! is, perhaps, on the whole, about the occupation open to those of average capacity, taking into account the certainty and amount of The remuneration and retirements.â€"Army and A"‘“" G‘M‘ eï¬A Tuz Leader of Wednesday enters upon an elaborate defence of the Hou.

Ofcourse, it is somewhat unusual to have three leading members of the bar pitted against a solitary Crown Prosecutor. We beheve it is customary for the Crown to preâ€" pare itself in something like a fair proportion to the array of talent <that may be pitted arginst it â€"but in ~this â€"case, we find Mr. O‘Reimrr Jeft -.gk-handed] 0 prosecute against three of the most emiâ€" nent members of the Ontario bar, and thm1 three backed by Mr. O‘FarszerLr, who is acâ€" knowledged to be orie of the =most expert law/ yers, especially in criminal matters, of whom the sister Province can boast. It would seem, therefore, that there‘ are long odds against the Crown. But we have to say, as we have said before, that when cases come into Court they are not to be judged by the array of legal talent, either on one side or the other ; but by the naked facts and the fair interpreâ€" tation of the law bearing on them. As to this particular trial, we have the utmost conâ€" fulence that on the part of the Crown the case will be fairly presented and ably argued ; while on the plndthc'prisournooaecu doubt that all will be done for him that is The Leader‘s aricle is remarkable in that it shews the pit k to which public feeling has been worked up regarding this trial. ~The very fact that our able and argumentative confrere has been compelled to enter the lists, and argue, for what under ordinary cireamâ€" stances is conceded to be the undoubted right, if not the absolute duty, of the lawyer, shows that there is a most unusual state of feeling abroad, _ It shows . that in public estimation Mr. McGezr‘s life was no ordinary life, and that the man. who took, it away was no ordinary malefactor. . It is folly to argue against such a state of tho‘ publhe mind.. There it is You cannot: change it. True, the imdictment merely accuses the prisoner with «* the murder of one « Tnwowas D‘Arcr McGze." But you canâ€" not set limnuts to the value which the public has fixed upon that "one" life.

His appearance is less careworn than at th« time ofhis committal, and his bhealth seems to have improved under priâ€" son discipline. He took his seat with great seltâ€"possession, bowed grave!y and courteounsly to the governor of the gaol and to his counsel ; and, unless it be for a slightly nervous twitchâ€" ing of his moustache, exhibited as much unâ€" concern as anybody present. Scarcely scemâ€" ing to pay attention to the very uninteresting cordwood squabble pending, to which, indeed, even the combined geniasof Messrs. Ross and Morgrove were unable to lend the ha‘lo of sensation, he glanced over the strange array of faces round him, with jast the, natural inâ€" terest of arecluse, to whom such imposing scenes had been for a long time unfamiliar, saluting:each of his acquaintances as they caught his eye in turn. Altogether, he seems much improved flhylically), during his retireâ€" ment, and bore himself manfully throughout, displaying neither timidity or effronterg.

At the conclusion of the indictment he empbatically repeated the same phrase, and a plea of not guilty was consequently recordâ€" ed. On the question being put as to whether he was prepared to take his trial, ho repiied "I am ready whenever my learned counse} are." The Hon. J. H. Cameron then named Monday as the day upon which he desired the case to be gone into, and, â€"upon Mr. O‘Reilly demanding that it should be proceeded with toâ€"day, urged the impossibility of conducting the defence immediately after the arraignment, On Saturday, hesaid, it might be practicable to have inatters in readiness, but as there was no likelihood of completing the trial on one day, he preferred Monday, so as to avold the adjournment over Sunday. His Lordship having intimated that it would be necessary for the witnesses to be present, so that the court might proceed at 9 a. m. on Monday, Mr. O‘Reilly, on the part of the Crown, consented to the postponement, and, after a short confeâ€" rence . with the Hon.

Minister of Militia, who came forward and said he felt it an honor to be called on to ad iress so int :}liâ€" gent and respectable an audience on such an occasion. Those who heard his 10ng speeches in the Parliament building might think he was going to inf@lict a long spsech on them now, but at so late an hour he could not think of inflicting a long speech on them. ‘The hon. gentleman proceeded in an eloquent strain to speak in terms of the highest praise of the spirit of patriotism which pervaded all parts of the Dominion, and was very properly maniâ€" fested in a cultivation of a military spirit, which was necessary for the protection of our country, but there was another kind of love which preceded love of country: it was a love of wife, family, and home, and a man‘s patriotism was to be estimated by that love, for the protection of those dear ones was involvyed in the defence of the country, aad if he loved and cherished those as he ought, he would seek to defend his country for their sake. He then vent on to show the rapid progress wo are making towards becomâ€" ing a great nation. Our Dominion he said was but of yesterday, and we are already a country with four millions of people, growing strong _ under the powerful ° protection of EKngland, and it would be a sin it â€"â€" we : did not exert _ ourselves for the protection of our country, an‘t to inâ€" crease its prosperity.\. But with all the cliâ€" ments of prosperity which we have we are not perfect without the military: spirit for selfâ€" defence. â€" Ever since he had held the high position of Minister of Militia he had done all in his power to foster the military spitit, and as long as he held it hbe should continue to do #o. He had succeeded in proâ€" curing the enactmenrt of a good miliâ€" tia law, which met with the approbation of the country generally. . But in order to eaaâ€" ble him to carry out the system to perfection, he required the confidence of the country. lIle then alluded to the disaffected few who might wish for annexation, but if any such existed now, they were so few and powerless that they were atrarid to utter the cry. The true friends of the country were proud of Briâ€" tish connection, and could sing «Rule Rritâ€" tania" and "God Save the Queen," &c. ‘wWhe hon. gentleman cgacluded a powerful and patiiotic speech in the midst of the applause of the audience. 2 1st priz«, $10â€"For the highest number of pointsâ€"Pvt.

Club gave their friends the last outâ€"door entertainment of the season, and although the last it was not the least for pleasure and enjoyment, for all scemed to enjoy the moonlight excursion got up under the auspices of the above club, with a degree of pleasure, only manifest when simiâ€" lar‘ gatherings under the same auspices are brought together. ; A THE START. _ A: ~Early in the evening there were evident tokens of something on the tapis, from the general bustle displayed by the members of the 0. U. R. Club, and their friends who bad been so cordially invited for the occasion. As the shades of night drew around we began to realizo the fact that our previous expectations were about being fulfilled as carriage after carriage, and couple after couple, wended their way to the Queen‘s wharf, About 8 o‘clock some iwo hundred excursionists were on board the beautiful steamer Alezxandra, under the command of Captain Bowie, who on this occaâ€" sion, as on all previous occasions, made every endeavyour to accommodate and add. to the comfort ‘of those bent on an evening‘s recreaâ€" tion. â€" ‘The genial warmâ€"heartedness of our friend Captain Bowie on occasions of this king is always the subject of universal teâ€" mark among such as have the pleasure of his acquaintance. ~Shortly afcer eight o‘clock the Alexandra Ift her mootings, Gowan‘s band playing some fine and appropriats selections for the occasion. The departure of the steamer was viewed by a vast concourse of spectators from the, wharf and the surrounding cliffs ; but in a short time the stately steamer was out of their reach and plying, on her downâ€" ward trip, the noble Ottawa. This twilight sceno was but of short daration, and had to give plase to what might be termed a still more beautiful scene; more vividly described by the poet when he says : â€" ; " But at length the feverish day, Like a passion 'dJod away. f And the night, severe and still, Fell on village, vale and hill ; . Then the moon, in all her pride, . Like a spirit glorified, > Filled and overflowed the night With rovelations of her light." : / _‘ oN BOARD. THE STEAMER. : Now that the steamer was fairly under way, each and every ons sought out some source ot amusement. The principal source, we must say, was that afforded by Gowan‘s orchestra in the cabin ; and it was truly * fantastic to the fine strains of the quadrille ban<l. The well selected programme of dances were entirely exbausted, s s _ * A gay and festive throng," to see the votaries of Terpsichore trip the light Gowan fully sustained his previous reputiâ€" tion as a caterer of music ; and no pleasure trip in Central Canada can be a truly festive one, without the soulâ€"stirring strains of Gowâ€" an‘s quadrille band. The night was beautiful and clear, the moon ghone forth in all her splendour, and in casting her radiance around, reflected to the vision of the observer agrand panoramic view o‘ scenery, unequalled on the continent of America, <It is a grand sight in daylight to view the scenery on this noble stream; but by moonlight it is greatly magnified and rendered : really grand and imposing. Nature reveals herself in every variety, and coupled with art gives views such as have bsen the admiration of all who hare had the pleasure of witnessing them. The night was cool, and & slight breeze rippled somewhat the bosom of the Ottawa, which made itrather unpleasant to pace, for any length of time, the upper deck; but forethought on the part of zome brought to the rescue greatcoats and shawls, whereby a longer promenade was afforded on deck to view the magnificent scenery by moonlight. About 12 o‘clock, we found ourselves in the vicinity of Thurso, and as a fog was apparently settling down, it was deemed advisable to â€" turr: homewards,. All now began to feel the keen demands of appeâ€" tite, but were soon gratified with the pleasing intelligence that Mr. Hall was on board, and prepared to supply the whnts of the inâ€" ner man at reasonable rates. The dancing was suspended for an hour, aud all repaired to the refreshment table to partake of the good things there provided. â€" ‘Tea, coffee, and eatables of every description were in great deâ€" mand, and a ready market was afforded. Afâ€" ter supper dancing was resumed and kept up with spirit till the Alezandra .arrived in port with her living freight at about 2 o‘clock a.m. On our arrival three cheers were given for Gowan‘s band, three for the O, U. R. club by their invited friends, who, in return, gave three cheers for their guests, after which all parted for their respective homes, sorry to do The distribution of prizes in Central School East took placs yesterday afternoon at the schoo!â€"room.

Fined $2 and costs.â€"Amazine Clereau, a thin, delicate iittle girl, ten years of ago, was charged with stealâ€" ing $5 out of a house in Lower Town. The prisoner is one of the tinniestDita of humanity for her age, going about. ‘lhe Chief of Police stated that she is in the habit of going around begging, and getting into and out of windows, carrying the spoils with her, and that som»â€" times two younger brothers act in concert with her, and receive what she stâ€"als, through windows and out of cellars.. About a month ago she was found in a house with two or three bottles of ale, and eight or ten pounds of butter, which she had taken out of & tub or crock, digging it out with her hands, and put it with the boitles in the basket. She also had a small quantity ot flour which, on being det=cted, she began to restore to the place whence she had taken it, and said she did not come there to stcal anything:" She was, however, handed over t the police, and taken to the station,.where her innocent and childâ€" like appearance excited the sympathy of the Chief, and she was sent home. Several artiâ€" cles have lately been missed from houses in the neighborhood of which no suspicious perâ€" sons had been seen, only a little beggar girl and no way of entrance which was supposed large enough hardly to admit a cat, and she was notsuspected until she had beén known to have entered t:rough apertures, not apparâ€" ently large enough to admit anything human. On Wednesday she was caught in un act of latceny and brought to the ‘station, but even then the police had not the heart to lock her seats, so that parties desirous of enjoying the exceptional treat of listening to such a troupe must lose no time in making their applicaâ€" tiong. . up in the cells, and left her in the station. The station has no back or side door, and no one dreamt of her getting out, because all of one watch ot the force were sitting conversing around the only door, and the little delinquent was in the large room where all could sze her. Before going out on their beat the officer to be left in charge was requested to keep her in the large room, instead of locking her up. This induced the man to turn his eyes towards the direction in which she had beenâ€"sitting, and as she was not there he looked fuither, but there she was not, and he looked againâ€"they all looked, and searched high and low, into every hole and cornerâ€"into the locked cells, in the closet, everywhere, and " the more flu; sgearched the more sbhe wasa‘t there,"â€"-vlné had becomeé of her none could imagins. One hinted that she must be a witch ; another a f1iry, bocause, on no other hypothesis could her mysterious disappearance be accounted for . One of the officers examined two lights with the glass out ten or twelve feet above the floor, over the closet, and found one of them covered with cobwebs, and the other not. This was certainly the only way by which a mere mortal could escape, but that seemed too incredible, besides a basket and a loaf of bread had disappeared with the girl. Constables were sent to search for her, and she was found late at night, and returned to the station. The chief and the officers wers now curious ts know how she got outside of the building, and 10C‘°A. L NEWS asked her to show them, whereupon she sprung up an open door under the two lights, and quick almost as thought she was through and at liberty ; only this time she was taken | care of outside."~ When she came in again she ‘ old our reporter that she was thirteen years | of age, that when she entered a hous: she never | took all the money she found, but generally | left a half of it. Sbe said she could read | French, but not English, though she tpenlu* English very well, that‘ she was uuzbti by her mother who had. once kept a school. ~â€"She said she would not go out ‘ stealing any more if they let her go now. The policeman who went to arrest her learned that her mother was then at a ball.. The prisoner was brought up yesterday mornaâ€". ing when both her parects were present, her mother beirg fashionably dressed in silks. The prisoner was remanded till this morning., Several persous hearing of the girl‘s arrest were about the court, and related incredible stories of her exploits. One ot which was that on the previous day she had got through a crevice and escaped out of an upper window on to the roof of a kitchen, and leaped down a beightâ€"of at I=ast fourtcen feet unhurt, and effectually eluded pursuit.
