One i" at these causes-and perhapsa primary, though` apparently only a secondary cause-accordingly to Mr. Kinglake, was the belief on the part of the Czar and his ministers that England had de- ' generated as a military power, morally L if not materially ; that the Quaker non- l resistance doctrines had leavened the ijwhole l_u_mp; thatthe peace party ' was politically all powerful; and that . come what might, England's support to f ' Turkey and resistance to Mnscovite ag- - gression would begin and end with dip- lomatic remonstrance.

THE ABOMIN ATION OF DESOLA- TION. A correspondent of the Cologne Gazette gives a graphic account of the state of the environs of Paris, only two , months ago so smiling and luxurious. After you leave Brie, he writes, you ` don t see a creature but Prussian soldiers. In every direction the French 5 have blown up the bridges, dug ditches ` across the roads," and cut down the . poplars which bordered them, that they might become obstacles in the way. The superb bridge which spanned the Seine at Villeneuve is now replaced by Prussian pontoons; Villeneuve itself is ` completely denuded of inhabitants. Not even a cat or dog is to be seen ; absolute desolation reiguseverywhere. . The charming villas are new barrcks. Common soldiers lie asleep on sofas up-r holstered infcrimson velvet, which al- ready is utterly spoilt; Prussian dra- goons and light cavalrymen take their ease in the deserted boudoirs of lovely Parisiennes, now perhaps almost desti- tute in foreign lands. Libraries be- come harness rooms, res are lit; with objets d art and kept up with orange trees from the splendid conservatories. How the country people of this part of ` France will keep body nndsoul together , a lewyweeks hence is a problem far be- yond my powers to solve.

We read lately the reports of two Railway Meetings. held about the same time in adjoining Counties, and could not avoid remarking the difference of opinion which existed between derent speakers on the same subject, as each viewed it from his own stand point. Mr. Cumberland, at Mealord, repre- sented himself as a recent victim of Municipal bad faith in railway matters. `whilst a speaker at Orillia pointed out how little reliance was to. be placed in the promises of Railway people. It is to be regretted that any ground should exist for the holding of such opposite views in reference to a matter in which all parties have a common interest, which can be served best by working together in harmony. We fancy that the difficulties so often arising between Railway Companies and Municipalities is generally caused by the one party expecting and asking too much. and the other party being inclined to the opposite extreme, When we come to consider the incalculable benets which a railway service centers on a commu- nity it seems strange that its promoters should have any diiculty to contend with, but experience shows that they have generally to ght their `way inch by inch, as if they had been the van- guard of a hostile army instead at being the. forerunners of the most powerful lization which the world has ever known. There must be a screw loose oomewhere, or this discord between concurrent interests would not exist. Perhaps it is that on oneside the claim for intending to confer, a benet is pressed too arrogantly,w'hilst on the HIIUH l`! `H E 15 `77 Anction av. 11 ) v `U111-'l'_owzr of Burn ` `Hour of twelv AND ' Tenth day ' utMa._ right.

The _Mnnicipal representa- tive! of three townships most interested in the project were present, and a strong feeling in favor of the proposed ` extensionwas manifested by the great] `M10753! ofthose present. Mr. Cum- berland pointed out that as the line would run close to the lake shore it could only be fed from one side, which of course detracted from its advantages as a profitable _sp'eculation,_ but not- withstanding this drawback, he pledged himself that the road would be built if I the municipalities were prepared to * contribute $5,000 per mile, or $120,000 in the aggregate, which is something . less than half the estimated cost of ` construction. A committee of three was named from amongst the muni- cipal r -presentatives present; the above ' mentioned bonus was apportioned be- tweenthe townships represented and By-`laws are to be submitted to the e ratepayers for raising the amount asked for. Should the extension be made, the contributing municipalities may feel quite satised that they will get the worth of their money, -whatever may be the result as regards the parties whose property it may be. A township or county can hardly ex- pend too much money either in Rail- roads or gravel roads. MORE RAILWAY EXTENSION. " is the most despotic power amongst the ' nations claiming to be called civilized ' power which of all others is the most ; prompt to repel or deprecate any attack Russia seems desirous of taking ad- vantage of "the collision between two of the grcatpowers of Europe to regain what she lost by the result of the Crimean war, and a demand. on her part to be relieved from some of the obligations imposed by the Treaty of Paris, opens a prospect of another con- flict which would throw into the shade that now going on between France and Prussia. The demand is caused by the old and, with Russia apparently unsatiable thirst for the acquisition of territory. Only half civilized she has a cannibalistic tendency and longs tode- vour the sick man, f who, but for the natural objection which other powers have to such gormandizing, would have long since been sucked into the `capa- cious rnaw of the Muscovlte. The pro- spect of such a war gives another illus- tration of how extremes meet. Russia and the United States is the most demo- _ cratic, but the sympathies of the latter a are with the former as against the upon civil or religious liberty. The single unbridled tyrant and the many- yheaded monster thing ? known as a democracy, seem to be equally untted` to bear rule. God grant, however, A that the terrible calamity of another war may be averted. The fate "of. France as an unwarrantable aggressor ought to bee warning to Russia and other nations disposed tobe belligerent withoutcause. .

Toronto, Nov, THE ORILLIA RAILWAY. MEET- ' ING. We referred to this meeting a last week, and" as no satisfactory results was arrived at, we think it unnecessary to give a full report. The only resolu-. tion proposed to be submitted was to the e'e_ct- that $20,000 and no more be granted in the aggregate by the village and township, but this was not pressed, as the Company had stated so ` positively that they would not accept less than $30,000 for making a change in the line as now located and running into the village.` The meeting nally adjourned without taking any further action in the matter. If the Midland Company do not make good theirclaim to the $10,000 voted to them, we have no, doubt the village will give the Mus- kolra Company $15,000, but it" is doubt- f_ul if an equal amount can be got , from the township.

Five hundred pounds was voted for this object, and the inhabitants _are deeply incensed at the arbitrary con- `duct of the Government in removing the patients, They now talk of selling it but there is not even a whisper about refunding the $2,000 which ` in all i `honesty and fair play should be return- ed to Orillia. Many and various are the surmises indulged in as to the con- . duct of the Local Member in this _con- nection. He will require great plausibi- lity to convince the Orillians that he has done his duty on their . behalf. `.` Sweet Willy has got his head into a nest ofihornets, for a strict account of his stewardship will be required from _ him. The general feeling in that loca- lity relative to his parliamentary career is decidedly averse to him, not only in this particular; but in numbers of others which need not now be enumerated At all events when he will have to face the music he will nd ' it a tough taskand a diicultd matter to` explain satisfactorily to his constitutents in and about that village, the reason why he failed. There is no use in mincing matters.--The presumption in his sup- porters as well as his opponents minds is that the Government knew he _was secured by former favors and that ' they need pay no attention to his feeble and weak entreaties--and of course they naturally concluded from reliable hear- zsaythat his prospect of` being returned for the .North Simcoe again had long since vanished. John Sarideld, with his usual acu- men, and wily cuteness discovered this long ago and has trimmed his sails ac_- ` cordingly to meet the varying fortunes of the Patent Combination. The Premier of Ontario has been on the war path and loses no opportunity of ascer- taining the chances of his various sup- porters return. He haslvisited this rid-_ ing and has heardifor himself what prospects were in futuro for his protege, A and, without _doubt acted on the infor- `mation he received. We understand that the inhabitants are about present- ing a petitioiito Government expressive of their indignation, and in the event of no Idiotic Asylum being establish- ed will demand the return of the sum they appropriated towards the concern. Several large droves of fat cattle have re. cently passed through Orillia en route for the rm of Dodge 8:. Co., who carry on very err- tenaive lumbering operations on the Magna.- tewuh River arid its tributaries which is over l0_0 miles from Orillia. -A number of droves"hava also gone North'- ward to Gravenhurat for Hotchkiu, Hughson & Co. Thoserms prefer driving the cattle to their depots and slaughtering than there as it saves an immensity of uouble. Some ofthose droves numbered over 100 head of came.
