Correspondence. ~~ 7 » A TRIP TO EUROPE. A- Ravers Over an Exouisn Faru.-- 'TEMPERANCE. . Sinco I will only say a few words about temperance, I will tako this sub- ject first, and leaye tho greater part of this letter for hints about farming.-- When I was in Dublix, GUINESS, THE DUBLIN sTOUT man, drove by far the greatest business that ony firm did in the city. His drays with barrels thercon, piled uf like hay stacks, met me at overy turn on the streets, and his steam barges laden with barrels likewise, were ever passing up and down the Liffey. Dublin stout was on salo " fresh from the wood," at every public bar in the city, and on the Atlan- tic steamers his bottled Dublin stout was so]d to passengers at six pence per bottle --and the passengers over seemed to be thirsty--and paying their six pences for it. The British people have their beer, if they are sea sick, to curo them; and if they are well for fear that they may get sea sick; and if thirsty to quench their thirst, and if not thirsty to tone up the stomach. It is beer in the morning to prepare for breakfast, beer at noon upon the table almost universally, and beer in the evening because the days' work is over and thoy aro Tatigued. Tho traveller can come to no other conclusion when, after keeping his eyes open for a few weeks in Britain, than that man was created to drink beer and that he canaot exist without it. Spirits they do notuse so much, because their cost is very high, but beer everybody las. You cannot possibly seo such an exhibition of beer in the United States when travelling therein, and tho traveller very rarely sees beer on tho table in America at noot, in fact the one who has beer at his Becauso T did not drink this beer universal, I was looked upon as a being -- * well fit to be tolerated, you know, but just a littlo wanting." And yet in these British Isles they continually grumble about their high rents and that they are oppressed. Its not so, and I can prove that THEY OPPRESS THF For the last ten years the British people paid for rent of farms sixty millions of pounds sterling, and at the same timo 136 millions for beer and intoxicating drinks. That isto say their drivk Dill was about two and uw half times their rent bill. Again, for the past ten years they paid 70 million pounds for bread, or nearly twice as inuch for drink as for bread. Now [insist that I have proved my assertion THAT THEY OPPRESS THEMSELVES, 'Then why need these people to trouble tho world to listen to their grievances as being oppressed by excessive rents,when 4 | they spend two and a half timésas much more for diink?, With all dcference to humanitarian views and philantropic idear,I must tell you in real good earnest that 50 long as they will pay moro for drink than for bread, I begin to feel that my sympathy for them is oozing out from my finger onds.

The memory of all events of the nature ofa first settlement should be kept green. The printers' strike which took place on Sunday evening last is the latest son- sation in Toronto. The newspapors were apparently not prepared for such action on the part of the men and were taken unwares. The compositors of the Grip Publishing-Oo., followed the example of tlteir confreres on the Jfail and Globe and went out on Monday morning. Other offices followed. The feeling gene- yally is that the men will win. A sic Toronto Fainure--A Toron- to despatch says: A meoting of tho creditors'of Forbes & Lownsborough, brokers, was held on Saturday last. Their liabilities are between $50,000 and $75,000, The assets consist mainly of stocks, and it depends entirely on the conditicn of the stock market whether they will yield a Iarge or small return, The firm will liquidate and pay out its assests pro rait. The loan companies and banks are the heaviest interested. A Conripence Man ARrrRESTED.-- William Hall was arrested at Cobourg, on Monday by Chief Rankin, upon a message from Douglas, of Port Hope. The offence was the old scheme. Three Envlishmen wanted to get back to the old land. Mr. Hall, a confidence opera- tor, engaged tho three of them to tend - eattle on the way over,and took a guar- antee of fifteen dollars to ensure their passage. Hall skipped to Cobourg where appeared o! pack to Port Hope. he was held till Chief Douglass n the scene and drove him] mutton. A young beast in England will very shallow or they may turn up the chalk. portion of England and farming here is seen at its best. And this is considered the best THLIR WAGONS ARE SO IEAVY that one man cannot lift a wheel of them. The tires aro five inchés broad, and the axles are about eight inches square when of wood. The thills (and such they use) aro made out of 5x5 stuff with tho corners chamfored down. Four horses of course draw them, and they carry five tons. They put their wheat in bags of five bushels, and the driyer of 4he wagon and these four horses mousb carry these four bushels, or 240lbs., up & flight of steps into the granary. For the life of me I cannot see why a man should be obliged to carry such a burden, bub conservative England says four bushels and so it must be. Suppose the farmer is selling his grain, THE RAILWAY COMPANY will furnish him with bags at half penny oach to deliver his grain in about their line, and ho can keop tho bags four days. This is a departure new, and those farm- ors who do nof keep a full- supply of bags had better ask our railway companies to adopt that system here. And yet even with this adyantage of bags, and one man carrying four bushels at once, and such . ALL FARMERS TELL uE, that they are losing money. Well, allow- ing farmers to be the proyerbial grumbl- ors that they are,I honestly do not think that they are making much. In grain they cannot begin to compote with us, for they can get no moro for theirs than we cen for ours.

Of couseIam glad for them, but.at tho same time I cannot sco why thoro should be so great a dif- ference between the prices of like cattle in England aud Ontario. For $20 the steamships will take a beast from Mon- treal to Liverpool, then if this sum and some commissions wore deducted from the price of ours, why should not our cattle be worth as much as English cattle of the same quality? I contend they aro,and that the cattlo trade of On- tario is only in its infancy. Indeed I am almost convinced that the time is near when Ontario will be mostly pastoral, and that we shall make more money by it. But I know, reader, that in a rambling dry, and will close by telling you of MERRIE ENGLAND, with its very beautiful hedges and groen sward, and smooth white roads, and the quiet contentment pervading the air. No one seems to be in a hurry, and work is done by routine, Beuutiful clumps of trees fill the landscape at every nook, while the laborer returns whistling from the field, and the multitude of crows caws without ceasing during these long summer days. The partridge flies before your step from the hedgeside, and rab- bits and hares scamper as my foot rust- Jos among the grass. On the surface and to the senses it is indeed grand old Eng- land, and I cannot help liking it. TOE YORESHIRE FARMER is by long years of tenant holding. his 400 to G00 acres, a gentleman farmer. Ho does not work himself, but wears his tight buttoned leggings, and sits astride his " cob," and carries his short stocked English riding ship with a brass turn on the end of it, and thus goes among his fields, and his flocks, and his laborers. Some of his laborers he " meats" and "beers," and a few he does not. The yankee {from America ho takes to, (I never could conyinco them that I was a British subject) and shows with pride his farm and his stock. In his houso he shows me mahogany furniture 100 years old, which his grandfather had, and sets before you the best the houso affords, He is indeed onc of nature's gentlemen who would scorn to do a mean thing. He does not travel, for " he is an English- man, and Yorkshiro is big enough for him," Tells me that the flint stones on his fieldy grow annually, and of courso I being from America, and not supposed to be intimately acquainted with the geology of Yorkshire, I do not contra- dict him, even if it be not true in America. And yet I have seen Yorkshire lands valued at from 50 to 60 pounds per rere. AS FULL OF MUSTARD as any I ever saw in Ontario. 'his seemed anomalous to*me, and I could not conceiye how they could afford to grow mustard on land worth $250 to $300 _per acre, and pay $750 per acre at least rent for it. Let the Ontario farmer, who sometimes frets that he has so many foul weeds to' subdue, recollect that his English brother has just the same weeds and more too, and that once never ceasing on them is the only salvation. I am happy to say that THE MESSRS, STEPHENSON'S FARMS were perfectly clean and free from all weeds. Their hedges were the best in the neighborhood, and if any Yorkshire farmers succeed they must. Mr. from Oshawa formerly, seems to have entirely forgotten his Canadian training, and sits astride his '* cob" as well.as any of them. His joviul, red checked York- shire wife would do credit to any country and I will close by saying that I om happy to inform his former friends that his fortune is assured, dnd he' is now an English gentleman, who will inevitably own in fea simple many broad acres in that coyeted land.

The cholera plague is still on the in- crease in France, and its inhabitants are panic stricken. Ten deaths occur- red at Toulon on'Monday evening, and out of 69,000 taxpayers 40,000 have fled, as many as 6,000 going in a single day. error has spread even to the marines, for when the admiral allowed them 'to leave on good cause shown every marine produced a letter with such a cause. The laundresses having refused to wash the linen of the hospi- tal pati@ts, the work is done by pri- soners with promises of pardon. Fourteen deaths trom cholera took placo at Marseilles on Tuesday, and nine persons died in Paris on the same day. Dr. Koeh's report and expression of belief that the cholera will extend into Germany has created a semi-panic on the Berlin Bourse. Youne Man Drowyep.-F.

Having ventured out ona log beyond his depth, he fell into the water, and being unable to swim, was drowned. Sap Acciprent.--On Tuesday aftor- noon last a sad misfortune happened to Mr. David Smith, an employee at the Hall Works, Oshawa. Ho was operat- ing a circular saw,when by some means his left hand came in contact with the saw, and the three front fingers were cut off close to the knuckle joints. The unfortunate man was taken to the sur- gery of Drs, Rac and Hoig, where-his hand was dressed.

WHEN AN ARREST CAN BE MADE WITU- OUT A WARRANT. The law reiating to arrest has been changed in the Procedure Act, Hereto- fore, many criminals escaped while war- rants were being made out for their ar- rests;escapes in this manner are not now likely to ocewr. Section 2,,of Chap. 29 of the Procedure Act, 32 and 33° Vic., reads as follows :--" Any person found committing an offence punishable cither upon indicment, or upon summary con- viction,may be immediately apprehend- ed by any constable or peace oftieer with- out a warrant, or by the owner of the property on or with respect to which the offence is being committed, or his servant or any other person authorized by such owner, and ghall-be forthwith taken before a justice of the peace, to bet dealt with according to law." Mr. Pope's Farm Laborers. - PAUGHABLE EON AN OTTAWA ¥ FARM. PERI col An Otlawa' correspondent says,-- rather a good story is told of the ex- perience of a farmer in 'this ncig):bor- hood with two "farm IJnborers " from the east end of London, who were brought ont to this 'country by My: John Henry Pope's assisted passage system. The farmer engaged the men at the Immigration Ollce, the agent representing that they were accustomed to farm worix. - They were sent to hoe a field of potatoes, but the farmer on going out where the men were at work, found them busy digging up popatoes, weeds and all. Theg then confessed that they had never even scen potatoes growing before. At home they had been employed as dock laborers. The local immigration agent now tells this story as a "good joke," but the Cana- dian taxpayer, whose money has been spent in bringing such immigrants into the country will scarcely enjoy it.
