Undertliis impression, she secretly possessed herself of one of Mr. Davis razors, and cut her throat-making a fearful gash nearly from ear tcear. The family, who were all in bed at the'time,.hearing the unfortunate womau s groans, went to her assistance, and did all in -their power to stop the "effusion of blood from the wound. She was conveyed to the General Hospital -without loss of time, where Dr. Gardner, the house surgeon, quickly sewed up the wound, and a`pplied the necessary.banrl- aged.

Mr. _Southwell, formly Chaplain to one of the divisions of the British army in the Crimea. and who was a visitor at the Hon. Charles Wilson s, attended the meeting of the ll-Iunt, . on Monday, mounted on a horse belonging to Capt. Earl, but which had never. been trained to fox hunting. Of this fact Mr. Southwell, we understand, was aware. The hunt for some time were engaged in searching for a fox in the neighbourhood of Points Claire, but ' `did not succeed in unearthing any. In passing through a. eld,a low rail fence intervened over which Mr. Sottthwell urged his horse un- availingly; the animal boggiled, pitching its rider and falling heavily on him. He lingered until the night during whichj he died. -His` loss is agreat aiiction, not only to the mem- bers of the hunt who were present but to many officers and gentlemen who had- the` pleasure _ of his acquaintance, and to-whom his gentle- _manly- and amiable qualities had deservedly 1 endeared him.-Montreal Gazelle, Q9: vuuvunvu uuuu Qvawlvvu vu-u v-------.,- GRANDTRUNK or CANADA.--The New York Heraldsays it is rumored that the Grand Trunk Railway Company have been quietly . buying up the Harlem stock, at the present low prices, with a View to build the Lebanon Springs Road from Chatham Four Corners to - Bennington, a distance of fty-two miles, which is partly graded; thus by controlling Company would be enabled to secure to them- selves a direct line from Montreal,'Canada, to the city of New Yorlr, over the Harlem Rail- road. -Such a=moveme'nt would probably be a protable enterprise for the Grand -Trunk Railwa Company, in the `present low condi- tion of arlem stock.

Crowds thronged the` streets, and pressed against the doors of the newspaper-offices, where the sheets, wet from . the press, were distributed to eager buyers. On every countenance there was an expression of excitement, violent discussions were going each. What could it be about`? Such an as- semblage was hardly witnessed when the crown of Louis Philippe fell into the gutter, or when the Allies stormed Sebastopol. Surely Iiouis'N'apoleonh~ad threatened the Rhine. or at least the British Cabinet had fallen a victim to some internal feud I No; it was simply that other for two hours that morning and the news- papers were publishing the narrative with more or less felicity of slang. To see. this encoun- tera large body of people had started from town before dawn, in a train supplied. by a decorous and dignified railway company, and though the whole civil force of the South of England were on the alert, the ght had taken place. The contine_ntal might well wonder at the civilization and the administrative system But it is~not`only strangers who are astonished at the or-mrrrence-,o such an event in ottr ad- vaucedstage of civilization... Many excellent persons atr.0ng'uur.own countrymen are shock- ed at the outbursts of: passio'ns~and= the sudden revival `of tastes which it was thought that education had banished from society. We are asked how it is that such proceedings as those of Tuesday pass without the denunciation of r the public press-why the conniving Execn- ttve,the abetting railway company, and the whole baml of gentlemen who assistedat the terrible sight are not held up to reproach, as they deserve. We answer that the very uni- -versality of the interest taken. in the ght is'a proof that the exhibition was different from ' others of its kind. Thousands of people read the narrative we published yesterday `who probably had not for years, or perhaps in their lives, perused the details of a prize ght. Their curiosity was aroused. not by prize-ght- i-ng generally, but by the circumstances of this . singular encounter. We have no fear that the result will be to restore the faded-glories of the prize-ring. The feelingis that the affair is an anomaly as much as the Eglinton tournament; that one such display is `enough, and that the pngilistic fraternity must not expect magisterial forbearance if they attempt to repeat it. As to the argument that prize-ghting isia disgrace to civilization, we will merely observe that there are other institutions equally odious to -the moral sense, and yet cherished by Monarchs, blessed by priests, smiled upon by ladies, and shouted for by mobs. A standing army is in the eyeeof a philosopher only an assemblage of Sayers-as and Heenans. eountrymen. at the order of a single man. -It has its rules and traditions, like the prize-ring, and the chief of these is that it should accept as the enemy any nation or any body of men pointed out by its commander. If the old Adam, the savage element in our nature, is to nd a vent, we had rather it should be in match in a meadow than in'the inva- sion of neighbor s possessions in the name of patriotism and glory. ` IP..-I.....I _...I A_.__2-_ L-..-_ _.-..-. - L'-an_..

Perine Bros. of this county, and coming as they do from one who has been long engaged in the cultivation of ax, they can be relied on, and will beread with a great deal of interest: (To the Editor of the Berlin Telegraph) DEAR Sin,-1 am happy to lay before your readers any information that will facilitate the culture of ax in which I have been engaged for seven years. n = e I thinlz Ihn nnil and nlimnlna nf I|u'a nnnnhu IUI BUVUII JUGIIEO .

Still, I doubt if we can make as good an article of ax from-the green straw as they can in Ireland, owing to the manner of handling during the rolling process. However, further experience may prove the contrary. As to the average productof the acre we stated to the Board of Agriculture over a year ago, that" it was 300 lbs. of lint and 12 bushels of seed.

Yesterday Sayers went to the office of the referee, at BeIl s Infe office, in the Strand. He was recognized on entering. and an im- mense crowd assembled to witness his de- parture, by whom he was` most vooiferously cheered. Beyond his nose and mouth being swollen and his lips out, he showed scarcely any marks of the desperate encounter he - had; passed through. His arm was bound up and `in a sling. for though it turns out that none of the bones were fractured, yet some of the ~tendons were broken and` the muscles so much eontused and injured that he is still unable to move his hand, or use the limb at all. This injury he sustained in the fourth round in stopping one of the American : tremendous blows, and an attempt which he made to use i it in one of thesubsequent struggles gave him - suchpain that it distressed him more than the t blows he received from -`his antagonist. `The knoclr-kownbtows which he received at- the geommeocement he admits to have been terests tht `dreadfully severe, but for the last hour of `the pan ; The ght they did -little more hurt than the ' actual _ {we =4 knockmg-d_oIvn.~_for th&vAmerican s` hand was Act p ;'i::`;1l'Mhamt_cqutdghava inflicted nuts vr`hii:h.h_a st - -V r _ has become_ ~.-`s.:~i;asn 4 ' M `."'Iun*I.t3at eat(ei|fm{u.(;`'li- . :. \_,_f.|`: .f` ~ A i , 3 have continued thegm` fo.;=.mh*;.h-~" ._ lltar so punishmsntsihioh ` " ' ' day, and thopgeneral .1` is L 'h'h~'{-~d" ' ' . . ; .th_at_~:he did not iov,ar- , K .sho_uldfjg _'f ' . g acquai manly a hin GRANDTR1 Herald i say: Railw th low prices, vi Road Bennington, is pat 1 Company Wt dire: N Railwa Cot arle be-I ' The present session is singular for its despatch of business.

The sentiment- a plague on lioth your Houses--ap_pears to generally obtain, for what other reason than the one hinted at we will not undertake to say. Perhaps in the ancient capital there are not those popular outside inu- ences that stimulated to pl-osiness many of our statesmen in Toronto, and less motive for a dis- play of staletalk and burdensome oratory. The great eveutiof the week is undoubtedly the debate on- nnuu-rn-n-rvnw Ar. an Awnlastj l%?9r1@rn%W uuusuu uu ' ` CONSTITUTIORAL CHANGES, Brought up on motion of Mr. Brown, in obedi- .ence to an agreement come to at the Convention in July last. It is unnecessary to enter again into the circumstances that gave rise to the joint authority reso1ution,which declares for the divi- sion of Upper and Lower Canada into two Gov- ernments each, with a federal Government over all. We think the objects of the change are pretty well understood, as well as the extent of shuiing practised at the Convention before it was endorsed. Mr. "Brown, in bringing the mat- ter up does not now hope to accomplish anything by it, owing to the failure of the coercion em- ployed to make his party succumb to the joint authority" enterprise, after the long and con- tinued boasting of the Globe that the j"Upper Canada Opposition were unanimous in support of it. The truth, however, has anticipated the de- bate, and what we have before said, concerning this matter is strictly correct. The attitude of the various leading men in the Reform party is singularly instructive, as witnessed in the debate, not yet nished. Mr. Saneld Macdonald con- demns: all` constitutional change, and considers that the enforcement of the double majority rule would be a sufficient guarantee for the satis- factory administration of affairs. Mr; Merritt advocates a written constitution, or the adoption of a democratic form of Government. Mr. Dorion thinks Representation by Population the correct'principle, _and a remedy against sectional legislation. Mr.'McGee'favors a federation of all the British North American Provinces, as a means ofcorrecting` existing incompatibilities.` llIessrs.~ Foley," Connor and others, have not yet delivered themselves. But enough has been said to warn all honest inento be wary how they transfer their politicalppinions to thekeeping of other}. It is ` comparatively easy toplay the agitator, by per- sistent` and unblushingfassertion, when thz means are notpreadylatc hand to put it to the test. We are all perfectly fresh `with the recollection of the capital whic_h_'Mr. George Brown and his party _ made _out'ot` what they styled the iniquitous M seignorial tenure swindle.

The pre- sent agitation was doing harm--it was shaking the condence in.the stability of our institutions abroad. But the government were more to blame for it than the opposition, as they persisted in governing con- gnuously against the wish of the people of Upper anada. Such speeches as the above cannot be amplied -e-the deductions are self-evident and important, and demand the consideration of those especially who have placed their principles on trust in the keeping of the Globe establishment: ._ ORDNANOE LANDS. . I This act introduued by Mr. Vankoiighnet re- specting the Ordnance Lands, which, by arrange- ment with the Imperial Government, were transferred to the Canadian Government, will remove the disabilities under which pensioners in many cases, as at Penetanguishene, hold their Reserves only by a ticket of location, and -en- abling the Government to issue their patents for the granting of the lands in fee simple. This will confer aboon on many of the settlers of Tiny nnd-Tny for some time desired by them. _ EMIGRATION. A committee of Parliament was some time ago, appointed to take into consideration the bestineans of encouraging emigration to Canada. In the report submitted to thellouse, it is. recommended to do away with the present arrangements at Quebec, and to abolish the capitation tax. That i two Emigration Boards be established,irespcct.-G ivcly in Quebec and Toronto, composed of the Presidents of the three national societies in each of the places,` as well as the Mayor, for the time being. That these Boards be furnished withmaps and charts of the available lands of the Province, for the information of intending settlers; with thepower to grant to such untransferable scrip- good for fifty acres-and on the fullment of certain conditions, to be entitled to an adjoinihg fty'acr_es. A modication of the Naturalization Laws is also recommended, as well as the appoint- ment of agents in some of the principal cities of Europe to guide emigrants hither. On the whole, the report is, eminently practical, and in many particulars deserves to. be adopted. We believe the country would be the gainer by giving away our new lnndsto actual sel.tlers,'with the neces- sary conditions. , NORTHERN All'.'AY. nun; vvuuu nu... B NORTHERN RAILWAY- Mr. Patton has in charge a bill to re-invest in the Northern Railway Company the control and` management of their line, assumed last Session by the Government for purposes of repair. The Company have promptly paid the advance made on account of them, paid olf their oating debt, and have, besides, materially reduced their consolidated debt. ` The English proprietors have furnished the new capital, on the guarantee of the line itself, a matter in which they were perfectly safe, estimating the earning capabili- ties and resources of the Road, under" present economical rnanngement.

Considering the diversity of opinion expressed on the termination of the aair, we give the concluding remarks from the journal mentioned, as being apparently imper- tial, and from which can be drawn `a better` esti- mate as towhat wouldhave been the probable result, hs.d_not, an interference taken place :-- l K: I'M` eI..'.. kneel- II...-g lhllrl RA L: A... .._: _:_._ _,,v1 punishnient nearl so much as , This against such an 0 patient as Heenan LI-Iihonv, uvun ---v u... ....-.....-...... -w-. .. rsuvb .-` Of this battle tliere.can be but one opinion, and _ that is, that it was one ofthe finest ever fought. Both displayed the utmost tact and gaineness, and Heenan astonished all by his straightness of delivery and line points, which were not expectedof such a_novice in the ring; and, although his position and attitude may be improved, he has not much to learn, and will be a `formidable opponent for any _one_ rash enough to challenge him. '1`.lie changes in this line battle were most remarkable; at one time booking any odds on Savers, and then again in another round or two any - odds on the American. Tom fought as well as ever he did in` his life, and left no stone unturned to achieve the victory. `The stinging severity of "big hits was paintully evident on the frontispiece of Heenan, whose facial region presented, towards the termination of the tight, an appearance woful to be- hold.

The Empress herself will give a fancy ball, the brilliancy of which she -will heighten to an incalculable degreeby a .pear_- ; ing as the Goddess Diana, equipped or`th'eA chase. No pains will be"spared-to render the l dress of the illustrious i1a?lyat'-on`reappr'opriate~ to the character selected and distinguished by all the paraphernalia of `modern luxury.` i It will be composed of a short skirt of tulle and of a body of flesh colored silk, and these will be liberally embroidered with` diamonds. In- deed, diamonds will be as profusely scattered over the entire gure as the glittering article called frost is distributed by an enterprising confeolioner over the images of st Twelfth cake. . A large diamond crescent and two stars to match-will sparkle on the head of the goddess, the feathers of her arrows will be bedropped with diamonds, as a thread of gossamer gwith dew. The pretty little pink boots, that are to give a nish to the costume, willrlikewise be adorned with preciousgems set in anklets of gold. The jewels, some of which, it is said, `will be wrenched from the crown--are -more important to the costume than at first sight might be imagined. Thedrese of -the Goddess "Diana, consisting merely of-a short tunic, and ' of what are technically termed eshings, would scarcely be becoming in a lady of, high degree, though it might be exceedingly effec- tive on the stage. But add a circle of diamonds A to the scanty habiliments and the standardof propriety is changed at once. Diana s silver bow. may not command much respect`; even Diana`s real moon, inasmuch as it costs no- thing, may be unheeded ; but a `Diana with a crescent of diamonds-diamonds on her boots, diamonds on arrows-is admissible into the most rigid circles. Didean English lady, high in social position, show herself at a private ball in the dress of the pure-minded but scan- tily clad goddess of the chase, she would per- ish under the anirnadversrons of a thousand Mrs. Grundys. Did an English. belle, less ' advantageously placed in the social scale, adopt a similar costume to vary the monotony of the perpetual debardeurs, ramps and ower girls. who figure in the masqnerades given at- our various casinos, she would be deemed one of the gayest of a gay assembly. ' If asimilar exhibition were abouttntake place in Bucking- ham Palace, there would be a burst of indig- nation from one end of the island to the other. ~ But they manage things differently in F rance. --Alba,ny Express. g:1;:ej`ou u1e_' mlo:igona.

We therefore indig- nantly repel the presumption of these scribblers in nsingthe fnmilinrityirnplied in our cotemporary and trust hereafter to be spared this iniction. , Being jealous of our morals, we really can not atford that kind of overture, for the public is too sagacious not to know that the slightest approach is contaminating; We should be held criminal if -guilty of fraternizing witha sheet that for two ' years has been a burlesque upon truth-an excres- . ence vitalizing itself by lehing from the reputation of others. The inauguration of the Spirit was marked by an underhanded attempt at oicial bribery, as insulting as it was grovelling, and honestly scorned hyithose for whom it was intend- ed. 'Pnblic and private character have been ran- courously impeached in this same journal, and met by withering rebuke directly from the people. It is not yet even six months since the highest court of public opinion in the County, by resolu- tion, gnve the lie direct to its slanders, and effect- ually snuffed out what little pretension it had V to represent the popular sentiment. i For a solu- ` tion of these things we mustlook beyond the paper and types--th'ere is an inborn licentiousness in the people who write the Spirit, which no righteous`; association or renement can control. "It will not I be expected of us to dignify men who by educa- tion and habit have no conception of the ameni- ties of their vocation--who have been trained to no courtesics, and incapable of evolving aspnrk l of either honor or principle-who acknowledge no obligations, and whose mode of warfare is that of the braggart and coward. We dare not hold converse with a Qumx, Gumox, and Smu- conoern, barren of the higher moral sentiments. Who will wonder that we refuse the interchange - of opinion in this case common to cotemporexies. The Spirit will have to look for contcmporargl literature in such by-ways as we are innocent of, but which its natural tests must frequently have sought out. . ' We should feel proud of honourable opposition 7` and competition-it is the life of politics as well ' as trade ; but in almost eve_ry attack made on us by the Spirit the cardinal issue has been ignored, and instead, dircct- falsehood and ealurnny heaped upon o_ur personal business matters. and to the extent, as in the last issue, of charging blas- phemy! Is there anything wanting to prove` the -virulence of these libellers ? We would make any ~ allowance for the paucity of talent in the Spirit contributors, and their inability to maintain argu- ment on the merits` of.political questions as they arise; nay, more, we should be charitable enough to believe, what to the enlightened would appear`! as subterfuge, was after all only a deciency of acquirement, or what may he expressed in a- sim- `ple vvord-ignorance. But the feeling of disgust ' is soon engendered in us when that Rubicon is crossed which divides the vulgar from the rened -tbe malicious from the generous. It is nothing to us, personally, that the Spirit has exhausted i itself in political gaming, without let or hindran cc ; I though proper for the dvance to keep the public in remembrance of the fact-herein we are t`aith- ful to our mission. But we have no right to drag E the business relations of Messrs. Bonlton & Mc- Carthy into such a connection, even if their pro- 1 l fcssional delinquencies were greater than their editorial. This is, however, practically the game that is continually being played by the Spirit. Every matter dealt with by the ./Idvance in the truespirit of public expediency and good, or pri- vate right, is made the pretext, by these scribbling 5 poltroons, for directing. their vulgar shafts per-u sonally atgus and our business affairs, in which `` public interests are not directly or indirectly affected. What patronage we enjoy is spontan- , eous; and if we have received a fair shareit has _ been because we have striven to do our patrons justice. Will. the libellers go into detail and give an instance otherwise?

As an infant prodigy the Spirit cried for pap, and was manyatime sorely vexed because the " pap did not follow after its many amusing throes and wails for ministerial favor; anon a wheel-about, and a succession of startling attacks and threats on public and private interests, i without realizing he fond anticipation of hush money ; even now, if we were inclined to bestow a triing amount of dross, there is not a doubt but that the screws of QUIRK, Glumox and Sue would be diverted from us to some new object. A victim " must be had, and made to bleed, or the Spirit would die from its own inanity,.with the sure decadenceof what is now regarded as a pretty brisk . pettifogging institution. As Reformer, Clear Grit and Conservative alike blush at asso- ciation with the irresponsible paper, notoriety might possibly be maintained at a "certain level, for a time, by" keeping up spiritedly the entertain- ing feats in political acrobacy-'-the stride and. somersanlt are not in themselves vicious, in the absence of higher attainmentsi and certainly the most unexceptionable features in the Spirit pro- gramme. _ - ` ' -.
