Marken Kinpwxss.--It is seldom, in the use of public conveyances, that we find any- thing to commend in the treatment we re- ceive at the hands of those in authority.-- One may usually be thankful while travel- ling, especially upon Lake Steamboats, if he performs a trip without gross insult and abuse. A clear exception to the general rule of proscription happened to us while crossing the other day from Toronto to Lew- iston. The beautiful and swift-winged steamer " Peertess," (for such she truly is,) bore us over the lake not only without insult, but without charge. 'The price of a ticket is not much, but the good-will and kindness shown in remitting it, are worthy of grateful mention, as one of the signs of the times, and as creditable to the Commander.

Presentation ro Mr. Havzs,--A large audience assembled in the Tremont Temple, in Boston, on Monday evening, to witness the presentation of a silver salver and a purse of two hundred dollars to Mr. Joseph K. Hayes, the ex-Captain of Police, who so nobly re- signed his office rather than assist In the ren- dition of Burns. Charles M. Ellis, Esgq., made an eloquent presentation speech, to which Mr. Hayes responded in modest and appropriate terms. 'lheodore Parker and William Lloyd Garrison, being loudly called for, addressed the meeting in language which 'kindleda high degree of enthusiasm. Up- on the salver presented to Mr. Hayes was engraved the letter in which he so nobly re- signed his office rather than aid in re-enslay- ing a fellow-being. Massachusetts may well be proud of such a citizen. ANNEXATION OF THE SanpwicuH IsLanps. --The New York Cowrzer has a despatch from Washington to the effect that the gov- ernment of these Islands has thrown itself upon the American party for protection against French, English, and other foreign setilers; and further, that the United States Commissivner has been empowered to ac- cept the Island and assure the government of American protection. There can be no doubt that the government of the Sandwich Islands desire to annex the country to the United States, and their desires will soon be realized, but the statement of the Courzer's correspondent must be regarded as prema- ture.-- Rochester Union. tories at the North Western extremity of this Continent, and to the north of the Oregon, extending to Behring's Straits and the Arctic Sea. This territory is of some, though not of very much value, for furs. It is only defended by two weak forts on the seacoast, who have no hunters of their own, but buy the peltries from the savages. It is observed, that the first thing Great Britain will do, will be to send an expedition to seize them, and to annex the territory to the Hudson's Bay Company. 'This is not improbable, or the French may do the same if they like; but then both powers are at open war with Russia. The modest and honest proposition is, that, to prevent this the government of the United States should, itself, seize the territory, and annex it to the Union. The disturbed state of Europe seems to have encouraged the 'fillibusters,' as they are called, to make greater prepara- tions for an attack upon Cuba; and it is generally believed that they are counte- nanced by some persons in high places. Thanks to stearn communication, the Spanish Government is fully aware of this, and has despatched six thousand land forces, and a fleet of thirteen steamers to watch the coast. There isa general feelmg in [urope, that next to the Czar, the arrogant ambition of the States must be puta stop to. It is understood that both France and England have agreed to guarantee Cuba to Spain. They do not wish to see the United States, by an unprincipled robbery, take the command of the whoie Antilles. Spain has quite enough forces there now. But France is fitting out additional ships at Cherbourg ; an@ England, notwithstanding her already floating armaments, is collecting another large fleet at Plymouth.--Montreal Tran- script. Syiae More Firzs!--Since our last issue, no less than four fires have taken place in To- ronto. A stable, adjoining McClean's Hotel, Front Street, was consumed on Friday even- ing: two houses were burned on Sunday morning, opposite to the Asylum; and on Monday night, two fires occurred at the same time--one breaking out in Boyd's Ho. tel, Front-st., a few feet from 'the scene of conflagration on Friday night,--burning the hotel and stables, also Rolph's stable and seven horses. The other on Spadina Ave- nue, consuming a house. Many of the citizens believe that these fires are the work of incendiaries. It seems asifa band ofscoun- drels are prowling about the city, resolved to burn and plunder the property of the citi- zens, In the midst of these alarming events, our City Council takes no action, and does not even form a quorum for business. --North American. Dea Wesstzr AGAIN.--Delia Webster, the female Abolitionist, who has been sever- al times arraigned in Kentucky on the charge of aiding in the escape of slaves, (she was once sent to the penitentiary, and after re- maining there some time, was pardoned out by Gov. Crittenden) was arrested last week on an old indictment. The warrant found her 'so very sick that she could not be re- moved ' from her lodgings, and a guard of three men was selected to remain, tend and watch her. One cf the papers says the guard ' slept at their posts, or were careless, or were seduced,'--at any rate, Miss Web- ster escaped, on some secret branch of the underground railroad--leaving the guard to watch an empty house. Itis said a party of men from the other side of the State line in Indiana, were her rescuers--they having suddenly crossed over into Kentucky for the purpose, and escaped the vigilance of the guard, She appears to have very suddenly recovered her health, Fricutru, Tragepy.--aA terrible trage- dy occurred at Millville, Massachusetts, on Saturday night.

A fire broke out in Philadelphia during last night, (July 6,) raging with great fury all night, and was not got under until Walker's Circus, Chinese Museum, and thirty or forty buildings were destroyed.

It is generally known that a. portion--we apprehend but a minor portion--of the ves- sels from time to time sent to sea are fitted out on the principle of total abstinence from intoxicating liquors,while the residue are sup- plied with alcoholic beverages, and officered by drinking men. The public as well as the underwriters in knowing how many of the shipwrecks, of late so frequent and so disastrous, are experienced by the total ab- stinence vessels aforesaid, and what is the per centage, of disasters occurring to these e° *% the allied powers. as compared with that encountered by others, itis the plain duties of the insur- ance companies to institute the enquiry in- dicated, to make it as thorough as possible, and to report and act upon the result. A friend who has followed the sea for the last five years, giving attention to this sub- ect, is confident that no vessel sailed on strict temperance principles has yet been lost within these five years. We consider this too strong; yet the simple truth, could it be ascertained, would be startling. Our friend says, a searching inquiry into the circum- stances under which shipwrecked yessels were severally lost, would trace these cala- mities to liquor in more than half the cases of their occurrence.' In one case which came within his knowledge, where a mer- chantman was wrecked on a recent fourth of July, the captain, officers and crew were all drunk, and there was not even a look- out on deck when the ship, through sheer, criminal negligence, was stranded and lost.-- Tribune. : Rum and Pauperism. The annual report of the statistics of pau- perism made to the Legislature of the State of New York, by the Secretary of State, places the total expenses incurred last year for the support of paupers at the enormous fioure of one million nine thousand seven hundred and forty-seven dollars! The num- ber of paupers relieved or supported during the year was one hundred and thirty thou- sand and thirty-seven, of which number /if- teen thousand six hundred and seventeen are reported to have been made paupers by in- temperance, and fifty-eight thousand three hundred and sixty-four indigent and desti- tute, of which, by all previous statistics, four- fifths were caused by intemperance. The above statistics do not embrace the pocr of the city of New York. If the proceeds of the seven thousand grog-shops of the city of New York be added to this number, it will be seen that more than one-half of the one million nine thousand seven hundred and forty-seven dollars contributed by the tax- payers of the State for the support of pau- pers is directly traceable to intemperance. And yet Gov. Seymour vetoed a.law tend- ing to dry off this prolific source of expense and evil. He was professedly very anxious to guard against any infringement of the constitution; but what were constitutions made for except to protect the lives and property, and prosperity and happiness of the people? The liquor traffic infringes all these, squanders property, destroys hap- piness, and takes away the lives of thousands. It is the bane of society; the greatest curse of the age.-- WV. Y. Organ.

It has been decided that 70,000 allied troops goto Varna, and 40,000 to Sebastopol. The report that the Turkish commander has been killed is untrue. The English forces are encamped at Devna. No further operations have taken place either on the Baltic or Black Sea. The allied fleets in the Baltic were before Sveaborg. Immense exertions were making by the Turkish commanders for the relief of Silis- tria. The Russians in Lesser Wallachia are subjected to pillage. 'The Russians are collecting forces in Fin- land, apparently to threaten Sweden and Nor- way. Great fears respecting the crops were ex- cited in France by continued rains, and an advance in the price of flour, wheat, and the funds, have been caused thereby. The English transport ship Hwropa had been burnt at sea, with the Joss of 20 lives. Much excitement prevails at Berlin by the report that the Russians had changed their head-quarters to Jassy. The Franklin arrived out on the 15th. The Emperor of Austria has publicly stated that he will declare war against Russia, un- less she evacuated the Principalities. Silistria held out at our last accounts, to 14th June. From May 28th to 30th, six at- tempts to storm were made; all repulsed with prodigious loss. During the nights of the 28th and 30th, the Turks made sorties, and committed fearful carnage on the beseigers.

Further News by the © Europa'? New York, July 1. The following was received by telegraph, from London to Liverpool, on the morning of the Europa's departure:--The Z'imes says, in a leading article on the military movements in the principalities of Wallachia and Tran- sylvania--there is reason to believe the Em- peror of Austria declared at Teschen that it was not in. his power to retain his forces wnere they were, but they must enter Molda- via, if the questions were not settled without further delay. Scarcity of food for the Aus- trian troops is said to be the cause. The report of a Greek victory in Macedonia is unfounded. The Russians made another unsuccessful attack upon Silistria. The English Admiral Plomridge had seized the bullion in the Finland bank. ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA. Particulars of the Defeat of the Russians-- Seige of Sillistria raised--Decline in Wheat and Liour.

The seige of Silistria has been raised ; Russians defeated by the 'Turks and driven across the Danube. 'The order of events were as follows :--Seige operations were be- gun on the 7th of May and carried on till the 15th of June. The attack and defence were carried on incessantly and with equal bravery on both sides ; repeated storming parties were directed against the intrenchments, and mines and countermines were exploded causing im- mense slaughter to beseigers and beseiged. June 2. M. Pasha, the brave Turkish commander, was killed, after which Prince Paskiewitch, the Russian commander, was struck down by. a spent ball and will probably die. June 13. A tremenduous attack was ordered under Generals Gortscbakoff and Childers, but after severe fighting they were repulsed and the Turkish brigades sent from Shumla. The Pasha succeeded in entering the for- tress there and reinforced the garrison; on the 15th made a sortie and a desperate hand to hand contest ensued, and ended in a com- plete discomfiture of the Russians. Prince Gortschakoff was severely wounded, and Childer had his leg. shot off, and two other Generals were killed. The car- nage among the Russian troops was dreadful and they retired fighting across the river.-- Pursuing the advantage, the Turks crossed an arm of the river near the island of Hipa, and blew up the Russian seige works. 'lhe Turks then brought out their guns and erect- ed temporary batteries on the bank of the river before the face of the fortress. 'The Russian battalions, east and west of Silistria, immediately retreated in good order, and crossed the river and destroyed their bridges behind them. The Russians are now in the vicinity of Kalarack, awaiting reinforcements ; and se- veral detached corps are marching in haste from Salatina to join them. This victory was gained entirely by the Turks ; the French and English not having made their appearance. The seige of Silistria thus raised, must alter the whole Russian plan of operations in Bulgravia, and consequently must change the plans of the Allies. Several ships had ar- rived with goods. FUGITIVE SLAVES IN CANADA. A degree of attention has of late been directed 10 the condition of the Fugitive Slaves resident in Canada, but comparatively little information concerning them has reached the public. The presence in this country of the Rev, Samuel Ringold Ward, who has been delegated by the Anti-Slavery Society of Canada to make the case of these Refugees more generally known, has caused a number of Gentlemen to form a Com- mittee, for the purpose of raising a fund to afford them temporary relief, on their arrival in Canada, from the scene of their bondage. The entire number of Fugitives in Canada may be estimated at from thirty thousand to thirty-five thousand, of whom from three to five thousand have annually escaped since the passing of the Fugitive Slave Law. On their arrival at Toronto, and other places along the Canadian frontier, that is, along a boundary of some seven handred miles, they are usually destitute of every thing, having generally fled stealthily, and with- out making much preparation for flight. They undergo numerous privations on their painful and wearisome journey, being in constant peril by the way, not only through the Slave States, but through the Northern, or nominally free. At any point, if overtaken, or discovered, or even suspected, they may be dragged before the Courts, and, upon a most summary process, sent back to endure a bondage of which the ordinary rigours are always increased in the case of Fugitives, to operate as a warning toothers. Hence, during their flight, they are ina constant state of sus- pense, fear, and excitement; and when they reach the Canadian frontier, usually fall into a condi- tion of bodily and mental prostration, which renders them incapable of immediate efforts, and makes them objects of compassionate interest. Being. strangers, destitute of the commonest necessaries, and in some instances, suffering from temporary illness and over fatigue, they require a helping hand. The Anti-Slavery Society of Canada, and a Ladies' Society at Toronto, pro- vide these Refugees with food, clothing, tools, or whatever they require, until they procure em- ployment and can support themselves. This necessarily entails a very considerable expendi- ture, which these Societies are not in a position to meet to the extent to which their aid is needed, It is not only an interesting fact, but one which should be emphatically dwelt upon, that the Re- fugee Fugitives require only temporary assistance. Labour of every kind is in great demand, and the Society being kept duly informed of the parties who are in want of labourers, they sel- dom fail to procure employment on advantageous terms. In no instance wi:hin the last year and a half has the Society been called upon to extend re- lief for more than six days, except in cases of sick- ness. The fund sought io be raised is therefore not intended to be set aside to maintain able- bodied men in idleness for an indefinite period, but to enable the Canadian Society to respond to the large claims made upon it, to supply the more immediate and pressing demands of the Fugitives on their arrival, and unti] they have sufficiently recovered from fatigue to avail themselves of the advantages of abundant employment and food, good wages, cheap land, equal liberty, and im- partial laws, and the privileges and rights which are common to other classes of Canadians. Canada being the nearest of the British Colonies | to the United States, (the stronghold of Slavery) it is of no small importance to encourage the 1m- provement and elevation of these negro refugees, because of the influence, direct and reflex, which would thereby be brought to bear upon American Slavery. The black settlers of Canada are nearly all of them fugitives from slavery. 'Their im- provement would be a triumphant rebuke to those who once held them as chattles, and to those who hold that the slave requires to be prepared for freedom; for they would exhibit the spectacle of a people just escaped from the galling yoke com- peting as free men, successfully and hunourably with other labour. Further, as there exist in Canada some of the prejudices against colour, and as the progressive inprovement of the coloured population is gradually undermining and destroy- ing this feeling, their improvement affords a prac- tical demonstration, not only of the equal capacity of the negro fur selfadvancement where he has a proper incentive to labour, but of the unreason- ableness of the prejudice against him Lastly, his social elevation by bis own industry and enter- prise, is even now trimuphantly proving the fitness of the slave for freedom, the righteous- ness and the practicability of immediate emanci- pation, (in so far as the slaves themselves are concerned ) and the perfect capability of the negro to live and to advance under the same government and upun terms of political and social equality with the Anglo-Saxon raise, or any other of the one great humrn family. Ata large and respectable meeting held in Free- mason's Hall the Right Hon. the Ear] of Shat- tesbury in the Chair,--after an Address from Rev. S. R.
