If there had been a tire connected with the furnace, is it possible that this man could have failed to detect it 7 The evidence of other witnesses tends to prove the startling fact that the furnace did not cause the calamity. Isaac Thomas testified that he had examined the shaft since the re, and that he found the bret- tice not burned at all in the centre. Thomas C. Davies said : `I believe something was thrown on the brettice ; I believe it was set on re; I feel positively certain it could not have orig` ted from the furnace. The brettice thus spoken in any way Morgan, a man whose trade has been mining all his life, is-still more important. He declares that whereas the top of the brettice was burned completely, it was not burned in the lower part at all ; but right at the bottom there were again inarks of re---caused, probably, "by the burn- ing debris falling from above." If the tire had originated from the bottom of the shaft, the whole of the brettice must have been destroyed. The guides along the side of the brettice, ' Horgan, after three or four lengths from the top, show no sign of tire whatever. Another witness, Thomas Thomas, also expressed his not the cause of 5 nnnoa u V (11115. The awful accusation of incendiarism seems to have given place to a conviction that the origin of the calamity at the Avoudale mine was purely accidental. ~'l`he New'York Herald says: The testimony taken in regard to the recent ea.- lamity in the Avondale mine thus far goes to show that the re originated by the furnace ue, either by the defects of its construction or by mismanagement of the furnace, or perhaps by both together. The portion of the ue itnmedlp ately above the furnace is cut through solid coal and from the upper extremity of this portion the ue crosses to the shaft; and beyond this cross ue the shaft itself is the ue for the remaind`sr of the distance to the open air, for all that space from where the ue is cut through coal to where it enters the shaft it is lined with brick. It is worthy of note that formerly this portion of the ue was not lined with brick, but tgith wood, and then it once caught re. We know, there- fore, that the draught in the furnace is strong enough to carry a fragment of burning material into the upper part of the ue, and thus set it on re. Considering the shaft above the entrance of the ue a third portion of the ue itself, what do we nd ? Simply that this third portion of the ue is lined with wood, and, therefore, is in exactly the condition that the second portion was in when it ' caught re formerly. if the draught would carry red fragments to the sec- ond portion on ordinary occasions it might car. ry them to the third portion if not well managed -that is, if the lurnace were in unskilful hands -and there was a new reman on the present occasion. It was noted by a former engineer thst,judgi:tg by the great heat in the shaft. on the ue side, there would be a re there some day. The first fire seen was just where the sec- ond portion of the ue t-mergeeinto the shaft, Altogether, in View of this testimony, the won- dir of the public must be, not that the re occurred when it did, but that it did not occur before.

The New York Times publishes the evidence taken at the inquest, and bases the following editorial commentary upon its report :--The evidence given before the Coroner s jury on the miners killed at Avondnle does not. satisfactorily dispel the dark stories which have been in cir- culuiiun during the last few days. Our corre- spondent states that the testimony already pro- duced is not so strong as that which will be forthcoming, but it is quite strong enough to give apparent conrmation to the suspicion that the re was not solely the result of accident. It seems too horrible to believe that any human being could deliberately set the mine on re. but thati-1 the impression which exists in the locali- ty,and the witnesses thus far examined before the Coroner will help to substantiate it. No doubt the arrangements of the mine were bad, and the absrnce ot a second shaft, to provide a means of escape in case of accident to the first, is a fault which cannot be explained away. But if 3 crime has been committed such an the mm- r|Ul.lS CDBKBCCQF. The shaft of the mine was connected with the furnace by a brickwork ue. The men appear to have talked with each other frequently about the probability of the shaft catching tire, and thus stopping up their only means of egress; but they never considered that the furnace ex- posed them to danger. They dreaded fire from above, and no wonder. It was the custom to carry hay down the shaft in a loose state, and one witness, Christopher Savage, `could not say whether an open light went with it or not. Evi- dently there was great carelessness, although the outside foreman of the mine testified that a man was not allowed to carry a light with bay. The re in the furnace was lit on the morning of the disaster at 6:30 o'clock. At 9:45 the the burst out in the shaft. About 9 o'clock a. man named Anson Dunn descended the mine in search of work. He went past the furnace, and noticed that everything was all right. As he ascended the shaft he saw no smoke or other signs of re. According to his statement, he came out of the mine at 9:45 a.m., only a few minutes before the re broke out.

And even on this present voyage of mine I have fallen in with ihe'rst steamboat, still aoat, that thirty-iive years ago lighted her res on the Pacic ocean. These, citizens of Sitita, are the guarantees, not only that Alaska has a_ future, but that that fu- ture has already begun. I know that you want two things just now, when European monopoly is broken down and United States free-trade is being introduced into the territory. These are, military protection while your number is so in- ferior to that of the Indians around you; and you need also a territorial civil government. Congress has already supplied the t-at of these wants adequately and effectually. I do not doubt that it will supply the other want during the coming winter. It must do this, because our political system rejects alike anarchy and executive absolntism. Nor do I doubt that po- litical society to be constituted here, r-st as a territory, and ultimately II 1 State, or Iplny states, will prove a worthy constituency of the. Republic. To doubt that it will be intelligent, virtuous, prosperous and enterprising, is to doubt the experience of Scotland, Denmark, Sweden, and Holland and Belgium, and ofNew England, and New York. Nor do I doubt that it will be forever true in its republican instincts and loyal to the American Union, for the in- habitants will be both mountaineers and sea- faring men. I am not among those who ap- prehend indelity to liberty and the Union in any quarter hereafter ; but I `am sure that if constancy and loyalty are to fail anywhere, the failure will not be in the States which ap- ` i preach nearest to the North Pole.

It may be true that the nation is without a colonial policy; but it would not be true, we think, to say that the present ad ministra- tionia datitute of apolicy for application in the colonies. The policy as yet, however, has only been tried tentatively, and with a cautious reserve in approaching the ultimate object. Military reductions in colonial gar- riaona and the propositions for seltidefence and colonial monetary contributions for the maintenance of troops are the outward signs in which this policy has foundlcxpression, leading. in connection with speeches, to the idea or suspicion that it is desired to make some ol the colonies altogether sclt'-sup- porting and self-dc-pendent` There is yet room ' to withdraw from what has only thus far been coutomplalled ; and it will be a good thing if this circular, and the proposition which it maintains, be the means of bringing out fully that pride ofclnpire and love of large and distant pos- ssuiona traditional with the English peo- ple, so as to inuence the Cabinet in adopt- in; a rational and acceptable linnol` conduct towards the colonies.

The grounds of the Crystal Palace present at present quite a lively military spectacle, oc- casioned by its occupation {or the annual militia dttll. The appearance of the grounds and all the arrangements connected with it are certainly an improvement upon that of last year. The ouly complaint so far as we are aware is, that of the poles of the tents, which are, it is con- tended, too slight to properly support the can- vas. This remark applies to the canvas when dry, but if drenched with rain the poles would be quite inadequate to support the additional weight. The whole camp is at present under the command of Lieut. Colonel H. Hamilton, being the senior ofcer, and the following is the strength of the camp :-The 47th Battalion of Frontenac Infantry, Lient.-Colonel H. Hamil- ton, and compose} of seven companies fty strong ; the 48th Battalion of Lennox and Ad- dington infantry, Colonel Fowler, composed Of six companies forty-seven strong, and the Fron- tenac squadron of Cavalry under the command of Major Woods and Major Duff, and compris- ing one hundred men and horses. The general appearance of the men is certainly in advance of that of lastyear, and their hearing approach- es much nearer to the ideas connected with mi- litary men, although as may be expected, there are some awkward squads in camp; yet taken altogether, the man went through their military evolutions in a highly creditable manner. Bugle major Burns, R. O. Ries, is the instructor of the buglers of the csmp,and the oicers canteen and mess is under the able superintendenee of Mr D. Fraser. The quarters of the oicers are situated as last year, in the building usually allotted at times of exhibition for the display of poultry, and is supplied with a good bagatelle table and the usual conveniences for an otcers mess room. The men's canteen, also under the control of Mr Fraser, is situated in the small building used as an oice. The 48th occupies positions on the south portion of the grounds, the 47th the north, while the cavalry were stationed likewise on the south. The whole arrangement of the grounds is most satisfactory, and there were no com- plaints in any department whatever, with the single exception of the tent poles, and the whole affair reects the highest credit on both men and officers. On Friday next the general inspection will take place, after which a series of manly games will take place. The encampment was much enlivened by the presence of two very good hands. We have to acknowledge the courtesy of Major Phillips, brigade quartermas- ter, in showing our reporter `over the grounds, and to the kindness of the oicers generally in aording every requisite information.

One word about my old opponent, Sir George Bowyer. In a letter to you last year he pledged himself in a moment or defeat never to write any reply to me again. On reconsideration his good humour has returned, and he makes merry at the expense of the Council. He justifies the interpretation put on the letters apostolic both by the Archbishop and your humble servant. He says, "Protestants are invited to attend ; but he objects that Evangelicals and Wet-leyans and Baptists and Mrlpurgeon would request to be heard. They have not done so as yet.

Let me say a word for the Catholic Directory, in the presence of its great rival, the Westminster Gazette. On its title page is Permiuu Superior- um. The editor is the Rev. W. A. Johnson, whose address is that of `Archbishop Manning. Mr Johnson, in his preface, justly observes, it would have been easy, by lowering the standard of the book, to bring out at an inferior Directory at a reduced price; but after submitting the question to the judgment of ecclesiastical supre- macy, &c. The preface also comes: The ad- ditional information in this year s Directory con- sists chiey of the enlargement of its first section, &c., an appendix on the Ecumenical Council, and an appendix including the pastoral letter of the Archbishop.

Although the Press were excluded, it was ascertained that the chief business transacted was the reception and in- spection of the rolls and reports of the military branch of the orgnization, which, as a member of the committee expressed, it, was in a most perfect state of discipline and ready to take the eld." The chief leaders of the committee were in favour, it is said, of an immediate move on Canada, as in their opinion at the present mo- ment the material aid and sympathy of the United States would be with them.
