Speech of H o n . B . Perk ins .

In the Washington Globe of the 15th instant, we find an able Speech of our Member of Con­gress* upon the Nebraska Bin^ occupying nearly five columns of that paper. " It is characterised by than feelings of defiance and contempt—that m the directness of that gentleman, and we infeH from certain demonstrations during its delivery that it was listened to with marked attention by the House. The late hour at which it came to hand, and the fact that most of the matter for this week's paper was then prepared, must be.our apology for deferring its publication until next week.

Mr. THOMAS FUKSISS, one of the best men and

most enterprising fanners of Black Lake, in •thi3 town, was thrown from his two-horse wagon, in this village, at four o'clock P. M.,36n Friday last, and instantly killed. He was marketing in our vil­lage, and while in the act of stepping out upon the tongue of the wagon to adjust his lines, the horses took fright, and after running about three hundred feet, precipitated Mr. Fcsxiss upon the sidewalk, inflicting injuries rendering him insensible, and causing his death in the short space of fifteen minutes. Mr. Fuasiss was a married man, and leaves a wife and five small children, and a wide circle of neighbors, to mourn their irreparable loss. He w*s about fifty years

of age. .*.

''

Resolved, Tha t we consider t he doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty, one neither recognized by the Constitution of the United States nor the laws of Congress.

R.esoly«d, That Republican principles and Institutions can be promulgated only by the diffastrai of knowledge and the maintenance of social institutions, and that therefore stbe now virgin soil of the vast Territory of Kansas and Nebraska should feever be anrrended by a Congress of freemen to the withering cur.s'e of Slavery.

Resolved, That the provisions of the bill, known as thB Kansas a n d Nebraska Bill, are" subversive of the princi­ples of the Missouri Compromise, and destructive-of the harmony which tha t solemn compact created, and has so long sustained between th? North and tne> South, and tha t as honest men and freemen we cart r i aw^he eubrts of tho enemies of that Compromise with fibjj&her than feelings of defiance and contempt—that we regard them as traitors to the irreat principles of civil liiberty.

Connecticnt—Anti-Nebraska Resolut ions— IT. S. Senators, &c.

On Wednesday, the 17 th iasL, the resolutions condemning the Nebraska frjiud, which passed the Senate of Connecticut by^ixteen votes against one, were adopted by the House of Representa­tives. The vote was 148 to*57. .,

We give the resolutions here, which are a very fair expression of the feeling of the people North of the Potomac. It will be difficult, we should thiuk, for any politician of the Southern States, on reading them, to help drawing the involuntary conclusion, that the repeal of the Missouri Com­promise is likely to create a more, serious disagree­ment between the North and thejSouth than any­thing done by Congress since its-i earliest session :

Whereas, a bill is now' pending in the Congress of theBnited States for the organization of the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska, by which the eighth section of the act preparatory to the ad­mission of Missouri, approved March 6, 1820, is declared inoperative and void: ' ,

Resolved, by this General Assembly, That' the form of the prohibition of Slavery, in the net of 1820, as well as its incorporation in an act designed to be irreproachable, pledged the public faith to the whole extent of the power of Congress so to do, against any repeal of the prohibition so enacted ; and that the people-of Connecticut have therefore relied upon the perpetuity of that enactment, with full confidence in the integrity and honor both of the National Government and of those States which sustain the institution of Slavery within their own jurisdiction.

Resolved, That in the name, and in behalf of the people of this State, we protest against the proposed repeal of the prohibition of Slavery in the act preparatory to the admission of Missouri, as a violation of the national faith, ns destructive of mutual confidence between the States of this Union, as exposing the Union itself to imminent peril, and as inconsistent with the fundamental principles of natural justice.

Besolved, That we declare our fixed ipurpose never to consent to the legal or actual admission of Slavery into the Territory from which it was excluded by the act of 1S20J or to the admission of slaveholding States; the people of Connecticut ought to awaken to the aggressive character of Slavery as a political power, and to its existence, whenever it comes constitutionally within the reach of federal legislation.

Resolved, That this General Assembly hereby declare itself ready to co-operate with other States, in any legal and constitutional measures whjch the"

^existing crisis, or its consequences, shall demand fbr the preservation of our rights, and in defence of liberty.

Resolved, That our Senators' in Congress be in­structed, and that our Representativses be earnestly requested, to oppose, by all lawfulimeans, and to the last extremity, tlfc bill 1 under consideration', with the clause abrogating the prohibition of Slav­ery, known as the Missouri Compromise.

Besolved, That a copy of .these resolutions be transmitted to the Senators and Representatives of this State in the Congress of the United States, to be by them laid before that body, and the ex­ecutives of the several States of the JJnion.

On the 19th inst,' FBASCIS G M E T T , Freeioil

Whig, and LAFAYETTE FOSTEE, Whig, were elect­ed United States Senators. GILLET, for the short term, received 109 votes to -92 for CHAPMAN, and 15 scattering. .TOSTEB, for tho long term, had 120 out of" 219 votes. In the Senate GILLETT had one majority,, and BOSSES, three.

Mr. SIMS, the preffentChfeflogineerJpresented

Mr. SUANLY, in reply, said that this Testimonial was entirely unexpected. He was not aware that

%BtJiad done anything that would warrant his ex

{effing such a thing.. The Bytown and Prescott •as the first Railroad he had been connected with

in Canada, and it was natural to suppose that he Bhould wish it an early completion and a prosper­ous "business. This he did;—it had his very best' wishes. During the time he was connected with thelRoad, lie could have effected but little, unless he had the co-operation of the other Engineers and of the Contractors. But never did Engineer receive such general support and help as he re­ceived. The road had seen some hard times— tiineswhich would, uuderothercircumstances,leave anything but pleasant pictures upon his memory; but this .njght's"-procecdings would obviate them, and lligbten up the whole period he was Chief Engineer of the work. In conclusion, he respect­fully thanked them for the honor they had--done hiui .

The ceremony was performed in the presence of the following gentlemen: Mr. PATRICK, M. P. P., Dr. JESSCP, the Mayor of the town, and Mr. Jons MORAS, three pf the Directors of tho Company ; Messrs. Enwrs JOXES, Jl N. MACLEAN, M. J. Ait.

After the presentation had been^made, the com­pany partook of a supper which Had been pre­pared at Mr. GILMAN'S establishment.

FIRE' ON THE PESE- PLAINS.

For several days past^ quite an extensive fire has been raging on tho Pine Plains, North of us. We

Jcarn that one house, occupied by one or two fam-.ilies of poor French people, has been, burned. In rthe high wind which raged yesterday, we should 'not bo surprised to learn that the fire had ap­proached near to other buildings. Wo heard

'yesterday, that apprehensions were entertained for the safety of one or more farm-houses in that neighborhood.

Last evening there was a belt of fire on tho North and East of us, extending from Westvillc into Burke and thence to Bellmont, a distance of fif­teen or twenty miles, besides, fires were raging in the South and South-west. Hundreds and hun­dreds of acres of timber and fallow land were cov­ered with i t We learn that a saw-mill owned by Mr. Monk, in Bellmont, and the dwelling-house and barn of Foster Whitton, in this town, were burned. The wind blew a perfect hurricane from morning till midnight yesterday. A gentle rain commenced falling in the night, and continues this morning, which will check the progress of the fire, and perhaps extinguish it.

There is no doubt that large quantities will be discovered as soon us they begin digging in full earnest, and especially with experienced men to direct them."

Extract of another letter from Burgher's Dorp, dated February 17.

" Regarding tho gold, discoveries, ft is proved beyond the least doubt that the precious metal exists here, and the most sanguine hopes are entertained regarding the quantity which will bo found after regular-mining, under men of expe­rience, has been established. A very natural con­sequence of this discovery is that people begin to find gold vein3 on overy farm, and reports are current that in Albert, gold was'found yesterday.

writes, on the 13th instant that 'diggings will be stopped for tho next week, owing to thje meeting at Bloemiontein. This last week proves beyond any doubt that gold existstin considerable quantities hero. • Parties have ridden out to the shaft which has been sunk by subscription, and have returned with specimens of quartz, which being examined, produced several nuggets. One of them weighed thirty-eight grains, another ninety-three, another thirty-six, and many small pieces were discovered by washing.' About the gold in the Trans Ynal country, various reports before us state that ' gold has already been found in abundance. That the borers have stopped the search until the sovereignty question has been settled, and that the Raad have decided on having their own money for the Republic'"

The schooner Rachel, belonging to Messrs. Phillips & King, with a .number of parties, among whom was Nicholls, tho discoverer of the gold, left yesterday for Hondcrklip Bay, tho " sea port" of the mining districts. The Prince Edward, with tho Cape of Good Hope Mining Company's staff on board, whoso departure has been delayed, will follow to-morrow or next day. Mr. Steele, lately in the house of McDonald, Bunk & Co., proceeds in her as Mineralogist, and Mr. L. Marqnard, as Surveyor to the Company. The Captain of this vessel has had a great number of applications for passage to the " diggings."

[From the Burlington Free Presj.] The Contempt of Court case which has been re­

cently on trial has attracted more than common attention, and a plain and unprejudiced statement of some of the principal facts connected with it may not be without interest to our readers. Such a statement we will endeavor to give;

The steamboat Francis Saltus, which has run as a Line boat upon Lake Champlain for some years past, was purchased, last Summer, by Messm Piatt & Vilas, of Plattsburgh, N. T., for the two Companies who then owned and ran under one management the Railroad from Plattsburgh to Montreal.- The boat, though registered in the names of the above-mentioned gentlemen, was the property of those roads, the Company which built the Canadian portion nf tho Plattsburgh and Montreal Railroad owning twenty-nine of the fifty-two shares which represented the value of the boat, and the Company which built the Platts­burgh end of the road, owning twenty-three shares. The Canadian Company, in the latter part of last Winter, were bonght-out by the Cham-plain & S t LWrence Railroad- Company, which owns the road from Montreal to Rouse's Point, and, with the rest of their property, transferred to the latter Company the tweutft-ninc shares of the boat property; which were subsequently conveyed to H. R. Campbell, Esq., either in trust or by ac­tual sale.

The Champlain & St. Lawrence Company found it for their interest to turn all the travel they could over their own road to Rouse's Point, and having-made an exclusive arrangement with the boats of the Champlain Transportation Gompnny. under the management of Mr. Burton, they only needed the control of the Saltns in order to have every­thing their own way, >and cut off tho Plattsburgh road from any share of the through travel. To such an arrangement the Plattsburgh gentlemen objected, and having the Saltus in their possession, fitted her up with the intention of running her be; tween Burlington and Plattsburgh, in opposition to the j9arflnae,r|and for tho benefit of the Platts­burgh road. iShe Wintered in Shelburne Bay and was all ready to come out; when an Attachment in, favor of the Rutland i i Burlington Railroad Com-.,-pany, from whom the. boat was purchased last, season, was laid on her by Mr..'$malVoy, acting asr the-holder of notcs»originally given by^the. Platts­burgh & Montreal Railroad Companies, for the boat, which potesjwere, • however, not fully due. ^heiP&tf^.urgh parties thereupon took the Saltus ;from, raderithe^tac^ment^bya writ of replevin, .hBfr®9"*2^^l'ct^iri|n^v^her S$n\• theAarbqr,

SUCCESS—RICH VEGETATION—RIDING ON A HIP­POPOTAMUS—TRADING IN IVORY.

The Cape Town Mail of March 18 (received by tho bark Springbrook, at this port,) contains, a letter from Dr. Livingston, a bold explorer and de­voted missionary, who writes from the interior of Africa. The Cape Town paper, in introducing the letter, says:

" Dr. Livingston, a solitary white man, appears to have been received with unbounded confidence and kindness by the chiefs and people everywhere. Such has generally been the first stage of inter­course between the savage and civilized.?

In his letters, Dr. L. gives some account of his travels and troubles. At one time, in latitude 19 deg. 16 inin. South, all his attendants were''down with the fever. They were then passing through a densely wooded country, in which the axe was in constant operation, and Dr. L., (or a part of the way, had to drive and cut a path too. In some places, the country was flooded for fifteen miles, and tho vatteys appeared liko large rivors, with hip­popotami in them. For three days they waded through the^ reeds and high grass to obtalu a pas­sage into tlie river Chobe, which they'reached on the fourth day—embarked on a pontoon, and after proceeding about twenty miles, reached a Mako-lolo village, wliieh Dr. Livingston entered riding on the back of a hippopotamus. f They received much kind attention at this vil­

lage, but the chief, a lad of eighteen, declined to learn to read, " lest it should change his heart and make him content with ono wife." They went up the Lcamby and Londa rivers in canoes, with six paddlcrs, who propelled the boats at tho rate of about forty miles per day. The Londa river is one of great beauty and' breadth, often being over a mile broad, with islands three or four miles long in it; these are covered with sylvan vegetation, the rounded masses of which seem to recline on tho bosom of the water. Tho fever, however, spoils all the beauty of the scene.

Dr. Livingston says, that he has not found a spot that he could pronounce salubrious, and, therefore, they must brave their destiny; and surely, he ar­gues, they can, if the nRve-trader docs. He met in the.intorioa, Arabs from Zanzibar, and Portu­guese from the farthest trading stations inland on the W e s t He preached in many a spot where the name of Christ was never heard before, and for nine weeks was in intimate intercourse with the natives; who treated him kindly; .but their, conversation, anecdotes, quarreling^roaring, danc­ing, singing and murdering,' have, he .says, im­parted a greater disgust at heathenism than he had ever felt before, and, in comparison with the Southern tribes, a firm belief that missionaries ef­fect a great deal mqgb than they are aware, even when there artyio conversions. The temperature in the shade in the interior was at ono hundred degrees, and ninety at nine o'clock at night

Dr. Livingston states that he found there some Portuguese trading in ivory. One of them was "the first of that nation who ever saw the Zambesi river in the,centre o f the AfricanCon^nent; A s -ho travels, ;Dr. Livingston wUlnote,;a;copy of MS observations,- whivbiwill - probably; .bo .published h'erimfteri-—>jo»to».•!&<nJdtov,, ' ••'

'Vlfe have official infbrmatlo^V'he shape of a Report

ifrqrh 'Admiral Hamelili to" Hie French Minister of ^Maiine, that when the British steam frigate.yun-ous went to Odessa- on the .6th. of April, to. take on board tlie fjonsuls, and such British or French subjects as irjiignt'bo Besirdiis to* quit the towji, and sent in her boat with a flag of truce fbr -tgat

purpose, seven caption shoti \irere fired frpin tie Hussion batteries on fliisgoat a few moments after it had left tho quay and quitted the officers of the port. It must bo observed that on the 6th_ of April it was scarcely possible that the1 declaration of waf, which hadrbeen published in London and Paris on the 29th of March, should be known sat Odessa, and i t was not tul the 8th that the Admi­rals themselves were in possession of tlie fact j

But, oven if war had been declared, it would have been a gross act 'of barbarism- to fire on a boat under n Sag of truce as she was leaving the quaypwltem she had entered the pdrtonly to fetch away tbfTConsular Agents of the belligerent Powd­ers who had an undoubted right to leave the Rus­sian dominions in peace and security. To his Re­port of this transaction, .which is dated the 10th of April, Admiral Hamelin adds, that he and Ad­miral Dundas were about to consider the severe measures which, such a proceeding might render necessary; and in the proceedings which have been taken, we have no doubt that the Admirals acted upon a strong convictipn that it was impos­sible not to visit such a breach of the laws of war with speedy and severe chastisement

The town of Odessa was founded by Catharine II., after she had extended her dominions, in n 9 2 , to the banks of the Dniester, and in sixty years it has become the emporium of the trade of Southern Russia. Its population, exclusive of the garrison, exceeds ^OOO, and the total .amount of its export and import trade was valued in 1849 at about four millions and a half sterling. The town is built on cliffs, which risp to a considerable height above tho sea, and form a sort of amphi­theatre round^lie bay. -It is-fortified according to the modern principles of defense, and the cita­del on the East side of the town, commands the port The port itself is formed by Hwo large moles, ono of which is regularly defended by a parapet, with eiubrasures for cannon. The an­chorage in the bay is good, and the water so deep that vessels of the first class may lie within reach of the shore. It seems,, however, by the brief ac­count which has reached us from Vienna, that the only practicable harbor was attacked on the 23d by nine steamers of the fleet, 'and that one small battery was destroyed, and the ships in the har­bor burnt It is added that the city, was bom­barded with shells and rockets for ten (or, as an­other account says, tiro) hours; but, as this infor­mation has probably been transmitted to Vienna through Rtissia, we must suspend our opinion up­on the details of this affair until they are made known to us, upon more trustworthy authority.

The evacuation of Little Wallachia is not only confirmed, but it is already known that the Turks have advanced into the country as far as the river Schyl without seeing an enemy. It is further known that on the/ 24th the Russians commenced their retreat from Krajova, and have broken up their position in that town, which was for some time tho headquarters of Prince Gorchakoff. The right wing of the Russian army will therefore probably rest on tbo river Aluta, with its head­quarters at Bucharest, and the main interest of the campaign is once more concentrated on the operations below Nicopolis, and especially be­tween Rustchuk and Silistria. There is reason to believe that tlie bombardment of this latter place was confined to the firo of some heavy guns placed by the Russians on the opposite bank of the Dan­ube; but the river in that place is 1,000 yards wide, and Silistria itself Bcs about 600 yards from the right,bank, so that this fire must have been directed against the place at a range of nearly a mile, and no very important results could be ex­pected.

Now that the moment has arrived for the more active operations of the allied forces by sea and land, and the season has also returned at which tho waters of the Danube rise, we hope to learn that the Admirals are in a condition to open the navigation of the Danube to at least the smaller steamers of the fleets. It must surely be practi­cable to force a passage which was open until last Summprto the steamers of the Austrian Lloyd, and is ngw only stopped by tho bar recently allowed to accumulate tit the Sulina mouth ; and it is ob-* vious that tho command of the river is ono of the most essential conditions of success. The forts at the mouth and at Tultscha andlsaktcha are incon­siderable, and our seamen who havS found their way up tho Yang-tes-kiang, and' the Irrawady without pilots, can surely be left to open the navi­gation of tho Danube. But for this service and in the BaitiS; we have no doubt that the admirality would find great advantage in multiplying our small steam crafts, which ought to form a flotilla for the navigation of shallow waters. Such ves­sels, fitted with screws, and armed with one heavy gun fore and aft, are invaluable for desul­tory warfare. Their speed enables them to get out of danger from a vessel of superior force, aud they are admirably adapted for cruisers or coast­ing operations, especially in waters where three-deckers-and heavy frigatescannot be brought with­out danger within'reach of the shore.

INCIDENTS OF THE W A R . ' ,

Among the incidents of tlie War, beyond those heretofore published, we- glean .the following grains of wheat from a whole hushel of chaff: ^ •

A Russian powder factory on the Island of Crofastadt, and-containing 60,000 pounds of pow­der, blow up and killed sixty operatives. No damage was done to the fortress.

" A* recently as the year 1792, Odessa was a numerable Tartar village called Hadji Bey Cath­arine T L t who foresa'w. the necessity in Southern Russia of an^jmportaht^ commercial entrepot, on, the Slack Sea, commissioned tho celebrated Duke de Richelieu, after ihe treaty of Jassj, to construct

The Cathedral of S,t Nicholas; with its boautiful;cupola, is the most conspicuous of its-braidings -r besides which, the palace of the Governor of Southern Russia, who resides at. Odessa, the Richelieu. Lyceum or Gym­nasium of Commerce, the Custom-house, Bank,

and. various hospitals and institutions of charity, embellish the city.

" I n the beginning of this century, Odessa numbered but about eight thousand inhabitants; but, since T 807, in consequence of an imperial ukase, bestowing upon it for thirty years the privileges of a free port, it has rapidly increased in population, numbering, at present, nearly ninety thousand souls. It is the commercial emporium for all that part of Southern Russia watered by the Dnelster, Bug, and Dneiper, and its markets have been principally in tho very countries from which it will be excluded by the present war. Its average exportations of wheat have of late years been about two million imperial quarters, the greater part being sent to Marseilles, nearly one-third to England, and portions to Malta, Leghorn, Genoa, and Constantinople. The value of wheat exported in 1847 alone, is estimated by McCul-lough at £4,000,000! Odessa needs not to be bombarded to be destroyed. A long continued blockade would destroy ii, by annihilating its com­merce. It is situated on a desert shore, the scant cultivation of which is forced and artificial—the pure product of industry—and it must decay if deprived of the nourishment by which it has attained its growth."

P l a i n Speaking.

HENRY W A E D BEECHEB made a direct reply in

Washington, on Sunday week, to the attack on the Clergymen iwho petitioned Congress in reference to the Nebraska Bill, before a crowded audience. It was a characteristic discourse. We give the following extracts:

" A true minister must know no fear. He must be a warrior. He must not preach to please the Justice of the Peace, or the Senate. He must go forth and attack wrong wherever he finds i t Does he say it is perilous? Why, it is perilous to live. When preachers shall do their duty faithfully, there will be less dogs to bark. They are told to mind their own business, and not to be meddlers. But the minister who never creates any agitation, is like the husbandman who never plows, because be may rip up some old roots. It is a peculiarity of the Gospel that it don't mind its own business. It is aggressive. It don't wait for men to conie to it for relief, but it goes out to find the man wherever he is. A Church may have all truth in it$ creed, but if it sits on its eggless nest and never incu­bates, it is just as dead as its opposite neighbor, that believes immll manner of errors

'' Preaching is subsistence in life.* A bullet must have power behind it, 8r it is dead matter. If men needed only argument, analysis and deduc-ions, then the Bible would be enough. But the object of preaching is not to build up a creed or system, but to remove sin and evil. The Churches of the present day, disputing about the correctness and tendency of different articles of faith, remind him of a number of workmen assembled to erect a building; they begin to, compare their saws, dis­puting which has the sharpest—their chisels, con­tending which has the best temper—and their axes, boosting of the skill amjifame of the makers—but never strike a blow or make a tenon towards the erection of the edifice, f

" The ministers of these Churches think it so sweet and genteel to attack sin indirectly. But the Gospel is direct and revolutionary. There was meaning in the declaration of Jesus, that he came to send a sword and not peace. aThe Savior wants stout, brave men, not gentle men in Bilk stockings •and kid gloves. Their preaching must be bold aud applicatory. The Gospel, it is true, is very incon­venient to sinners, but it must be preached, so that drunkards, stingy, crabbed souls, unjust men and oppressors, will feel that it is after them.

" Sometimes the men in the pews are impelled to speak out against wrong, but their pastor tells them it is not prudent If I (said Mr. B.) had a Gospel like that I would throw it overboard. I would never preach to please the pews. There are congregations of men who build splendid edi­fices, ,Trith rich pulpits, handsomely carpeted aisles, well-cushioned pews, splendid organ, and have very respectablcjchoirs—but don't call such, Churches of Christ-4all them Odd-Fellows—Mutual In ­surance Companies—anything respectable, but Churches.*'

A New-York pill doctor, who advertised in a Cincinnati paper, asked the editor to give him n puft The editor, good natured, wrote " a first-rate notice," from which we make the following extract:

" One single pill wom in each pocket will in­stantly give ease and elasticity to the tightest pantaloons. A little quantity will create an appe­tite of the most delicate stomach, or physic a horse. They, will also be found to give a rich flavor to apple-dumplings, and a peculiar zest to pickled oysters. They will thicken soup, reduce corpulent persons, and are excellent bait for mouse-traps. One pill dissolved in a bucket of water, will be found a perfectly water-prOof lining for canal em­bankments; placed in Bteamboat boilers, they will effectually prevent their bursting, and greatly in­crease the speed of the boats. As for their medi­cal qualities, they are justly entitled to be called " Medicanientum Gracia Probatum," t. e. " a rem­edy approved by_grace,"—-fbr they effectually cool St. Anthony's fire; and stop S t Vitus' dance; they purify the pimples in the small pox, /and radiate the red-gum in teething; they reduce white swell­ings, and cure the bjack jaundice, blue devils, yellow, Bcartet, or any other fevers; they cure also the trash in children, and the pip in hens, the staggers in horses, and the night-mare in owls. But further enumeration is unnecessary; suffice it to say that this medicine is a combination upon

,f-H o n . W . B . Hichards .

The Spring Assizes, for the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, weie opened at Broctvillo, C. W., on Tuesday last, Judge RICHARDS, well known to many of our reauers, presiding. The. Associate Judges on the Bench were, Hon. S. Crane, W. Patrick, Esq., M. P. P., C. H. Peck, Esq., and P. Pennock, Esq.

This being Mr. RICHARDS' first appearance at Brockville in the distinguished position of Judge, the Brockville Recorder, of the 18th inst., indulges in the following comments:

" Judge Richards, we are sorry to say, had been rather unwell previous to his arrival in Brockville. If anything, however, could tend to cheer him and raise within his naturally warm heart a pleasurable reeling of pride, it must have been the" fact of bis occupying, for the first time here, the distinguished position awarded him by his Sovereign, as one of the judges of his native land. Many reminiscences of his past career, from boyhood upward, would no doubt crowd through his mind, in looking uppn the crowd of well-known friends, which everywhere met bis gaze, many of whom Visited the Court­house to hear his first charge as a Judge, to a Grand Jury composed of men with whom he had been familiar from his youth upwards. That the Hon. W. B. Richards possessed the requisite qualifications for a good Judge, we stated at the time of his appointment, and his conduct since his appointment, has proved the truth of our assertion, and those who opposed his appointment most bit­terly, have already acknowledged his abilities as a Judge."

Only two causes were on the criminal calendar —one of them child-murder. Among the civil causes tried, we notice the following;

About midnight on the night of the 10th inst.,, two men armed with daggers and clubs entered the dwelling-house of Henry J. Merkley, Matilda, County of Dundas, and robbed the premises of all the money they could lay hold of, fortunately not much. It appears that the fellows had entered the house by the door, leaving their shoes outside, the door not being locked ; that they had lighted a candle and searched the premises, unheard by any member of Mr. Merkley's family. One drawer was locked, and believing it to contain what they were in search of, the villains coolly proceeded to Mr. Merkley's bed-room„a\voke him, and demand­ed from him tlie key of the drawer under pain of being knocked in the head. Mr. Merkley, seeing no way of escape, got out of bed and handed thein the key. The drawer was then of. ^ned and robbed of about §16 dollars in money. After this the rob­bers ordered Mr. Merkley to bed, arid then made off, one of them taking with him a pair of shoes, belonging to a boy residing with Mr. Merkley, leaving his own benind. One of the shoes left, is slit up in front in two or three places, as if the wearer's foot had been sore. The men were under medium height, wore dark-colored clothes, and were coarse and very unprepossessing in then- ap­pearance.—Broclcrille Recorder, May 18.

HEADS U P !—The first l o c o m o t o r for the Bytown and Prescott Railway Compauyarr ived-pt the Depot in this village last evening. Tlie name of this locomntive is the Otrjord, and it was manufactured a t the V Boston Lo­comotive Works " of Hinkley £ Drury. I t is a beautiful piece of workmanship, and we long to 6ee it hitched to a train of cars, steaming and whistling away between the Ottawa and the St. Lawrence.—St. Lawrence Jtepul-lican. May 9.

Our neighbor, and all our neighbors, will now soon be gratified with the sight of the iron-horse hitched to a train of cars, and steaming and whistling away between the Ottawa and the St. Lawrence. In addition to the locomotive men­tioned above, three others are in course of con­struction, and a number of passenger and other cars are completed, ready to be placed on the rail. Upwards of four thousand tons of iron have been shipped, and arc now on the way to Qnebec. If it arrive without much delay, the track will be laid and the cars running to Bytown in the month of August next A considerable quantity of iron has been on hand since last Fall; the laying of this has been going on for a fortnight past The iron is stated by competent judges to be of the best description, and the road when completed^ will be equal to a first-class road, whilst the cost5

per mile will not be much over half the price of other roads. W e believe the building materials for the various station and freight-houses are all ready to bo put together. Wc therefore hope that no untoward event may prevent the safe and speedy arrival of tho iron, that we may soon have the pleasure of seeing the iron-horse with a long train of ears steaming and whistling away between the S t Lawrence and the Ottawa; for O, " Hope deferred maketh the heart sick."

Since the above was in type, wo learn that the loconiotivi.-- Oxford will be brought over to-day or; to-morrow, and placed apon the track, some few" miles of which are ready to receive i t

PRACMSBNO SUBQ'.EV wm»n<T A DIPLOMA.— Dr. Winans, of Georgetown, C. W., was put on his trial under an indictment charging him as a Physician, Surgeon and Apothecary at George­town, without having a regular diploma. There was no charge whatever of -mal-practice, but rather the contrary, as Mr. Freeman produced several witnesses for the defence, who swore that they had received great benefit from defendant's mode of treatment,, and one said he believed he would have hcen dead if it had not been for Winans. In addressing the Jury, Mr. Freeman said that he thought it was .contrary to the spirit of the present age for any corporation or body of men to endeavor to maintain a monopoly of this sort; and if any man "tfas sick he had a perfect right to call in any friend or neighbor who .he thought could benefit him without rendering that friend liable to a prosecution.

TIONS,—A most remarkable Cure by Holloway's Oi i i t -^" ment and Pills.—Mrs. Jackson, of Milk-street, Boston, * has two children, aged three and fire years , both of them were afflicted from their birth with the most inveterate scald-heads, which greatly interfered with their general health. The mother tried every remedy likely to benefit them, (what mother will not,) to no purpose. But a friend recommended Holtoway's wonder-working Pills and Ointment, offering to make Mrs. Jackson a present of ten dollars worth oCthe medicines, X they did not benefit the children ; this was too tempting to refuse, the Pills and Ointment were obtained, and three dollars worth cured both. The mother gladly paid for the Pills and Oint­ment and has written most gratefully to Professor Hol-loway for the cure effected. 25wl
