What a life indeed, under the roar of the guns of Valerien, and starving for four long months! But we had to pass on, with a promise that we would bring them food tomorrow, which evoked a shower of blessings, as-we came up with the column, the rear brought up by -ett carrying odd nt- tielee of food, clothing, utensils, in strange vehicles.

Thousands ot People have visited Velerien merely as a point trotn which Paris can be well seen on one side and a pretty panorama up to St. Cloud end over the Seine by Ierly and St. Germain on the other. The vast mess of the works on the l|IgII'-loaf hill is very imposing to look at. Not ashot has been red against it with power to damage, but from what l saw there is an im- pression on my mind, which I think will be confirmed by better judges, that Valerien is not so strong as it looks. The road winds to the east round the face of the hill, turns and slopes westwards, and thus mount the outer ditch. There was still the same grey veil over Paris, as if the city wished to hide these pickle- ltaubrs, or as though Nature herself were com. paasionsble. The outer ditzh is clear and deep, any of the good Guide books or Wyld's map will give the dimensions. There were sentries already on the gate, and a guard at the entrance. The road leads to a gate with a zlrawbrldge over a second ditch, and over the ntralce is inscribed Fort Vnleriea, 1844; here here was another guard.

Pro. fessor Williamson on Electricity, and by the Rev. Professor Ferguson on Prehistoric A-ehcolegy. On Tuesdsy night last Professor Dupnis commenced e series of three lectures on the Microscope end its Revelations. The Rev- Principel Snodgrsss occupied the chair, and the sttendence wee very "good. The lecturer re- ferred to the utility of the microscope and tele- scope in scientic investigstions,and pointed out how closely they were relnted to each other as op. tical instruments. After showingthe probability of magnifying lenses being known to the ancient Egyptians, the lecturer stated that the micro- scope as now employed was entirely on instru- ment of modern invention, and all the improve- ments which were vslusble and trustworthy had been e'ecIed within the past. twenty or thirty years. The Professor explnined the powers end properties of len'se s, and illustrated the power of e lens in forming en image by throwing the illuminated images of diferent designs cut in ` `gerdboard on e screen-by meens of the oxy- celcinm- lsntern, end prncticelly illnatrsted thereby the ensuing of the term focus, the irnsges when in the focus being clear and dis- tinct, end the focus being movesble According to the distance of the olnjeot from the lens. The structure of the human eye was then dwelt up- on, end this being concluded. the mode of grinding lenses wee shown by the working of a small mechine invented by Professor Dupnis, end driven by e ministure {steam engine of his own construction. The ingenious contrivance wesclosely inspected by the interested ledies nnd gent.emen,snd the evening's instruction ended with the stoppage of the engine efter sll bed seen the mnchinery in motion, __.__:%.___} } London Society for February, (Kingston, John Henderuom; Conlont|:-Fasbionu for February, In emoriam, Our Chriatmaa Gon- u-ibuor, Two Plunges for: Pearl.

One class of claims, those of I refugees, require considerable examination. The ` greatest. of these is that of the Hudson Bsy Company. It was the intention of the govern- ment to propose a measure for compensation. Dr. Schultz had, while the Manitoba bill was ` in process of passing, strongly pressed his de- mands. He had presented a paper, signed by his creditors. promising to supply him with goods as before, if he should be enabled to pay his old debts. His total clain amounted to very nearly $70,000. He (Sir F. Hincks) had undertaken the personal responsibility of making Schullz an advance of $11,000. Dr. Lynch got 3300, and $500 had been railed for the benet of persons whom Schultz recommended.

VVe refer the reader to the report of the proceedings in the Ottawa city council, as a testimony to the advantages that we may expect to derive from the con- struction ofthe railway to Pembroke, and to show how the line is being represented in Ottawa. Of course the completion of the Canada Central, if it can be e'ected, will not stop the Kingston and Pembroke, be- cause the latter project can compete on the most favourable terms with the Brockville and Ottawa line, and must command a pay- ing amount of the great lumber trade of the Ottawa valley. auluecl woum be brought in. correspondence between Sir Edwnrd Thornton and Secretary Fish did not 1 Appear to him to include these claims.

Macdonsld brought down the correspondence between the Dominion and Im- perial governments respecting the sheries. `He moved that it be printed, and stated that it was the intention ot government to take the same steps for the protection of the sheries as the rules which now exist. He recnpiiulat-ed the history of the steps taken after the repeal of the Reciprocity Treaty to protect the sheries . Communications during the time the steps worn under consideration were received from the Im- perial government, suggesting as there was rt probability of a revival of the treaty, the United States shermen should be allowed free shing for that season. The Canadian Minis- try objected to this as unwise, and an asser- tion of rights, and determined upon privileges being given on payment of a nominal fee for It concession protested against by the Nova Scotian government, and subsequently by New Brunswick and Prince Edward lsl:-ud, The fee was increased afterwards to a dollar, to show again that there was a determination to maintain the rights, but the American shermen . persisted against all right in shing in Cans. dian waters. The licenses steadily diminishing. the license system proved a total failure,and it was determined to exclude foreign _h'she'imen, a policy communicated to, and approved of by Her Majesty's Government, the naval force being kept as before, in addition to which a Ca- i nadian force was also employed under a new arrangement. The sheries, on the whole, were well protected, and the correspondence will show how much is due to the zealous and prudent course of Her Majesty's navy, As to the renunciation by the United States ofa right within three miles of the coasts, there is no dis- pute. But the head and question is of impor- tance, although of less than the general ques- tion of exclusion. This right, it was arranged by the three Governments, should not be insist. ed on for a time, but this was not to be consid. ered as yielding them, and the Imperial Gov. eminent gave repeated assurances that such a claim had never been conceded. It was felt, however, to be exceedingly inconvenient that such rights should be in dispute. Either have them settled and maintained, or else an indem_ nity be peid for the abandonment. The (Jana- dian Government called attention to this.sub- jest, which ll: Campbell was entrusted to bring before the Imperialyovernment, and a mixed Commission, in which Canada should be represented, to sit on this side. At first it was , proposed to have three Commissioners on each _ side-tlie British Ambassador, Earl DeGrey, and Sir John himself. To this the American * Government cheerfully consented; but it was afterwards agreed that the basis should be widened and ve should be named on each side-Sir Stalford Northcote replacing Sir John : Rose.

He spoke of the ditfeience between the ponderoua and prosy discussions in the tlouse of Lords, and compar- ed them with the sharp and sometimes acrimo- nious debates in the House of Commons. He drew a vivid picture of Westminster Abbey, with its historical associations, and in speaking of the monument to Lord Ohstbam, he remark- ed that there was considerable truth in the statement that Chatbatp, in taking hold 0" French Canada, had lost the old British Colonies as the presence of the French in Canada tended to bind the British Colonies in England. Brit- ish ambition in that respect might have over- reached itself, and he thought that American ambition might in the same manner ovexreach itself if it took Canada from England. The first day of Canadian annexation might be the last ofAtnerican independence. Though Ca. nadian nationality was not yet very strong, it was strong enough to kick against the disposi- tion or a party at Washington. The lecturer went on to speak of the hatred borne by the States to England, and said that the feeling_was fostered and maintained by traditions and school histories lled withexsggerated and ma- liguant accounts of the quarrels between the two countries. The feeling was partly Irish and partly protectionist-bred, a desire to turn England out of Canada, and haul down the British flag on this continent. Well informed Americans with whom the lecturer had con- versed on the subject saw the wisdom of letting Canada work out her own share to the solution ot the great problem of self-government, which no sane man could believe to have been solved by the United States. ,,_..aa .._._ -_____4::_.__.- ___{:_,___:__ He felt doubt whether the bill itself, not yet Pud by the Imperial Leginlnure, could pro- Piy be laid befora the Houle.

The correspondent of the London Tull. who has lately been accompanying 1110 Duke of Meck`lenl)urg s army, Is much im- pressed by the admirable _syste_In Of `1`'.'` tering tronpl which prevails with the G_eI`_- msus.

Once he himself weke in the middle of the night in a comfortable bed which had been assigned to him by the quartermaster, and perceived by the dim icker of, an expiring re hie hostess and two children sitting up dozing in chairs. ' l`he poor creatures had no alternative but to spend the night thus, for they had no other bed in the house. They were too terried to accept the correspondent s pm- posal to exchange places with him, but he did the best he could to make them com-- fortable with rugs and shawls. On another occasion near Freteval he was startled on re. turning one evening to nd hie hostess in the bed he had occupied torn couple of nights. "She overwhelmed me," he says, with apologies. She really could not help it, there was not another bed in the house, and it was so unexpected-with much more to the same effect, which was to me quite incomprehensible, until the faintest sound, as of a kitten under the bed clothes, enlightened me as to the nature of the catastrophe which had occurred in my ab- sence. I had not the least suspicion, until this happened, that I had been sleeping in the only bed in the house, and that my poor hostess had passed the two nights in an arm-chair, and all this, `Dans lists: on je me trouve,` as she spologetically remark ed upon the occasion of my first making her acquaintance," The cgrrespondenfs comment on all this, adds the Fall Hall Gazette, is really exquisite in its naive sim- pl1c1ty:With this readiness on the part of the population to make the best of it, and view their invaders as necessary evils, the billeting process is much facilitated." ,. _._ --_... .. ....e as xvu menu ed to nd the nrmsment wan not near as power- ful in size ofgune or in number as I expected There were in the Cavaliers four gene which I could not meeeure, but they seemed to be 9.. inch gune, end looked like muzzle loederl.
