A ConrespoNDENT informs us that a sad accident occurred near Cherry Wood, in the 3rd concession of Pickering, one day last week, to a little boy, son of Mr. Burkholder, which resulted in the beys death. It seems that he had been play- ing about the building, and having fallen off the plank his head had caught ina cow-chain during his fall, in which posi- | tion he was found by his little brother, | who being unable to take him down o- get | him to speak, ran to the house to tell his | father.

The New York Herald is greatly excited . over what it states to be a fact, namely, that Vice- Admiral Inglefield of the British Navy is visiting all the American cities on the Atlantic coast, taking notes in regard to their defences, etc., with the view of i making good use of the information so ac- | quired in case war should arise between England and the United States. The re- port is not generally believed; but from the Edinburgh Scotsman, received on Wednesday last, we learn that the Repulse, " one of the finest iron-clads in the Royal Navy," has been ordered to at once pro- | ceed to American waters, thebe to cruise. | Also, that a strong fleet of war vessels is being got ready for the same destination. Taking these facts as a basis, we way | reasonably surmise that there is truth in the Herald's statements; and if so, we con- gratulate the Home Government in so commendably taking time by the forelock. | On the 3rd of July, 1815, after his crushing defeat at Waterloo, Napoleon ar- rived at the French seaport of Rochefort, with the intention of sailixg for the United States. But the hull of an English war- ship was'visible out at sca, and after sone hesitation, Napoleon said, "* \'heicier wood can float, there is Erglond's flag!" And that is a general trath thst «ur American friends may yet lears to their | ! otf ring at the lowest rates. Buyers will | cost. -------------- CITIZEN DILKE. An extraordinary scene occurred 'in the British House of Commons on Tuesday last. The " Cheap Jack™ republican, Sir Charles Dilke, moved for a return of all expenses connected with the Crown from the Queen's accession up to the present time, and also returns of the incomes from | filled to its utmost capacity, snd every one | seemed to enjoy themselves heartily. The | tea provided by the ladies of the order | was excellent, and the programme pre- | | sented for the ev-a'ng's entertainment, was good and well carried out. The Oshawa Brass Pand added greatly to the | pleasure of the evening. | Ox Tuesday afternoon last, Geo. Gard- iner, an apprentice at the Joseph Hall Works, met with a sad accident. A Leffel y water wheel fell on him, breaking his left i leg, just ab we the knee. Dr.McGill was called in and set the broken limb, and the patient is doing as well as could be expect- | ed. - WHITBY is going to have a new fire en- gine, immediately. Ata public"ineeting held there' on Friday last; a fire brigade | was formed, with Mr. Donovan as captain | of fire department, Mr. Jas. Hamilton pf the removing der artment, and Mr. G/C. Gross of the Protection department. Mg. Bamrerr, having sold out his | photograph business to Mr. J. 0. Heary, wishes to thank his numerous friends in this section of the country for their past liberal support, and assares then that he parts from them with regret. STEELE BRoTiIR have received a large of new groe ries, provisions, crock- , glassware sippy ery ete., which they are now | do well by giving them a call. | announcement next week.

Church, will be he'd to-night. | and the total amount paid to the Prince of Wales. Viscount Bury rose to a question of privilege. the Queen and her successors, and as | Dilke had openly avowed himself a Repub- | lican, he contended that Dilke should net be allowed to proceed unless he first re- x d his republican sentiments. Poor Dilke was, however, allowed to read his motion, amidst a perfect storm of derisive | laughter, in which the visitors in the gal- -leries joined; and his motion received just exactly two votes--the result being an- nounced amidst a perfect babel cf laughter and applause. +» We are not likely to hear much more of Republicanism in England for some time. And this affair taken in conjunction with other late events, has shown the uncom- promising loyalty of the people of England and their attachment to chical insti? tutions--the only true form of just and sound Government : Tae site selected for ths Agricultural College by the late Governm>at having been found unfit for the purpose, a new ia is being looked for. The Whitby own Council have made a more to get the College located near their town ; and "we don't see any reasons why they should not meet with success. It isa well known fact that some of the best farming lands, and most notel importers and breeders of | thorough-bred stock in the Dominion, are to be found in this Couaty. We hope those who have taken thy matter in hand will urge on the Minister of Agricultue their claims, and the adyantages off:red by this County, and fiplly succeed in gotting the Collegn located near the town of Whitby. | I ---------- AT the regular meting of the Whitby Town Council, held on M mday evening last, the followiag resolution was adopted: | ""MrsMcMillan, seconded by Mr. Dono- van, moved that the thanks of tais coua- cil are due and are hereby teudered to the | Reeve of Oshawa, and to the Oshawa Fire Brigade, for the prompt and geoerous re- sponse to the call for aid at the fire at the Royal hotel, on the Gth inst., and the | treasurer be insgucted to g.aut bis order for $100 in faver of tue es of Oshawa, to be by him iod amongst the members of the Fire Brigade, and that a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Roeve of Oshawa. --Carried."

The Chicago Tribyne, the best conduct- ed paper in the Western States, answers a correspondent. at Laporte, Indiana, who wishes an explanation as to why the Tri- bune considers the claims of indirect dama- ges against England in the matter of the Alabima claims absurd, in the following | sensible manner:-- 1. They are in addition to the claims that we had been urging against Great Britain for a period of nine years. If these additional claims were just, or were warranted by international luw and usage, it is probable that we shoul have present. ed thew before. 2. Because we woull not pay, nor even consider such claims if preferred against |' prolongation {us by Spain for ol¢ of Zraasia for alleged the war in Cuba, or « nightiust, were good, considering that he | prolongation of the war in France. was troubled with a bad eold, and had a Bs, dacity," Is alasd pan High Sch on Wednesday afternoon, aud favored the pupils with a few of his aclections. 3.

It appears from the investigation of | the sale of arms to France, that our Gov- ernment delivered arms and ammunition to French agents after being notified that they wee French agunts, on a contract made before the fuct was known. Our ac- cusa'ion against Great Britain is, that she allowed the Alabama to go to sea after be- ing notified of her true character. Sup- that Germany waits till we get fully committed to the doctrine of ** indirect damages," then tiles a little bill for the cost of her war with France subse quent to the date of this delivery of arma. Shall we, probably, draw our check for the amount" The above may be considered a thorough- ly logical argument, and a full answer to the absurd claims urged by the American Government, or its accreditesl agents, be- fore the Geneva arbitrators, with regard to consequential or indirect demages arising from the depredations committed upon American commerce by the Alabama and other vessels which zailed from England, intent on hostile purposes against tle United States during the continuance of the American civil war.

Although the testi- wony of the Pope and the bishops showed that the Catholic Clivreh las reason to be satistied with the regtilations of the State, and the h ble position assigned to it, this agitation assumed suck proportions that I wad compelled to 'ake precaution- ary meagures. * * * Complaints have also been made about the abolition of the Catholic department in the winistry of Religion. This department had in course of time assumed such a character that it appéared to represent only the rights of the Church against those of the State. 1 therefore proposed some time ago to the Buperor, that instead of maintaining. this departmerit; it sould be better to allow » Papal 1 un io to be accredited to the Court here whose position eould not lead to any misunderstanding, and who woald inform us without reserve of the wants and de- mands of the Church. [I did not however, venture to take any further steps in the matter, as public opinion in general seem- ed adverss to ths proprial." The Prince concluded by urging the House to avoid "The great calamities which t ieological discussion would bring on the Fatherland." We must do all wa can ha said, so to a range matters as to have the least possible concern with religion in our Parliamentary proceedings. It is the earnest wish. of th: Uovernmeat that each religion, and sbove all the Catholic, which is so much repect- ed anl is professed by so large a portion of tne people, should have perfect freed om of action in the Prussian State. The Gov- ernment has nothing to do with dogmatic discussions; every dogma, whether we be- lieve it or not, which is adopted by so many millions of our countrymen must be sacred both to the Government and the rest of the population. ¢ But we cannot ad mit the claim of any e- lesiastical author- ities to have a share in the power of the State, a1l wo ¢raad re it necessary in the interest of peace, and to restrict thew within their propdr province. A Guveru- ment which adheres to the principles of religious equality must not asked to adopt a sectarian policy; we have nu speci- al State religion in this country. England's Coal Supply. A few years since Mr. Gladstone startled the Euglish nation out of their belief in the inexhaustible character of the English coal fields, when he urged the reduction of the national debt, on the grounds that another century would witness such a scarcity of fuel as to arrest manufacturing industry. | ed vith arsenic He qnoted the statistics of *' Professor, Jevons," whose calculation was at the then rate of consumption the coal mines could ~mly last one hundred and ten years; thus the grandchildren of the present generation would live to see England importing fuel, and the industries of Manchester, Birming- ham and Sheffield transferred to regions where coal arvunded. The PLuilder takes up the subject in a serious mode, and as- ed that Mr. Hardy was * the man oh Paerts that the available quantity of eoal in of all others, was best qualified to intro- duce the acid and venom of per. y into mat- ters of business, and declared that it was the blundering und.r the Conservative Government at the period of the Hyde Park riots which had created all sub e- quent difficuliies," Mr. Disraeli, in atone of cutting sarcasm, accused the Premier | of * sullen silence" on the critical occasion in question, and excited treniendous checr- ing from his own supporters by the asser- tion that at that time (when the Hyde Park riots were at their best) the right honorable gentleman never opened his mouth, except to address a turbulent moh from the balcony of his private residence, astitom it ho vever., whish'amid another | demonstrative exhibition, Mr. Gladst which England can, with any prudence, | have b depend, must be very far less than the f.f- teen thousand million tons which Professor Jevons counted on, The Builder says that instead of calculating the contents of 4000 feet in depth, we are only justified in ex- pectir g to penetrate with or r present cost to a depth of scme 2,700 feet, which is 324 feet deeper than our present deepest shaft." The I wilder says that at a depth of 2,700 feet the svil is of the heat of the blood, and the rapid heating of the air, according to the best modes of ventilation, would render workings of » length at all ti 4 denounced as '* destitute of a shred ura shadow of trath." After this : of arms the chiefs cooled down, but it is evi- dent that the radicals of the extr:mest school will stir them up by the proceed- ings in Hyde Park to-day. If the meeti is forbidd n by the police it will bs bad Jor the Gover ; if pormitted, equally Prince Bismarck and the Catholics. [#rom the Pall Mall Gazette.) Prince Bismarck made a remarkable speech on the policy of the Prussian cleri_ cal party in the Berlin Landtag last week, The Hanoverian deputy and ex-Minister, Herr Windhorst, who is the leader of this party, having cemplained that the Catho- lics are not placed cn an equal footing with the members of other religions in the coun- try, and that they are excluded from the Ministry, the higher places in the Civil Service, and the Professorships at the uni- versities, the Prince replied that, in his position as President of the Ministry, he must repudiate any obligation in regard to filling up places in the Civil Service accord- ing to the proportion of Catholics in the country, and that he would never admit such an" obligation. *'It is possible," he said, " that the statistical department may have furnished to m2 information op this head, but 1 neither knox what itis nor do I trouble myself about it. The statis- tical departwent makes many calenlativns with whose tendency I have rothing to do. (Laughter.) " It is statel that [ have no colleagues of the Catholic religion in the Ministry. I regret this very much, but we of the' Ministry require a majority which shall be ready to give a decisive sup- port to the policy adopted by the Gavern- ment. Does the previous speaker helieve that we can expect this from a member of his party! The existence of a speeially religious party in a political assembly, Prince Bismarck continued, is in itself a monst ph . By this means a pressure is exercised on all the Catholic members to join the party if they do not wish to expose themselves to hostility and make religion the subject of parlismentry debates." (Cheers.) "I adhere to the principle that each religion should be al- lowed perfect freedom, without therefore considering it necessary that it should be represented in the population. Every other religious body has as much right to claim this as the Catholics--the Lutherans as well as the Jews ; und 1 have found p to the expense of the shaft quite intolerable for human labor. The Builderreaches the concl that instead of fifteen thousand million tuns there ar: not more than ten million tons yet to be excavated. These figures are so enormous thet it seems absurd to dread a scarcity; yet it is perfectly certain that at the pre- sent rate of ption the stock t last beyond a century unless new deposits are discovered, aud the geologists do not hold out much hope in that direction. Tha: coal exists at vast depths has been proved by borings, but ventilating shafts four thousand feet deep would add enormously to the cust of the coal, even if successful. Coal has advanced in price in Eng:and, buy that fact is owing to two causes, it is drawn from greater depths and the wages have risen and are rising.
