The blasting was about to take place, and every- thing was being prepared for it, nine holes hav- ing been loaded and connected by dischargillz wires, when suddenly all exploded together, leaving a tenth blast, however, not discharged. The cause of the catastrophe is said to be e thunder storm. A ash of lightning struck the top of a mountain abonta mile and a halt` dis- taut; but in what way the electricity was con- veyed to the nitro-glycerine in the charges is not ascertained. The blasts killed four men and broke the leg of a. faith, and the electric shock, went all through the mountain. The workmen killed were all apparently excellent and thrifty persons. One of the victims was Mr Mason, the superintendent, who is spoken of as having paid great attention, and with mark- pd improvement to the morale and mannets of the men under his charge.

The Herald, professing as it does to have superior sources of itnfounation, and tehan arrived at the truth as to the nature of the treaty. is chagrined to learn that the United States has been overreachetl by the English Com- missioners who have made good their claims to have the injuries and losses sustained by British subjects in the American war taken into account as a set-on` to the Alabama claims. Gtncral Butler, the rehraud politi- cian, is reported to be intensely disgusted at the conclusion arrived at, and is said to be prcparimz to oppose the ratication of the treaty. As this worthy is not e. member of the Senate his inuence can only be exerted indirectly. Senator Sumner is reported to be hostile to the ratication of the treaty, but his opposition will be of a different kind from that animating General Butler. But Senator Sumner has lost his old inu- ence, and all the extravagant arguments ad- vanced in his famous obstructive speech on the Johnson;_Clarendon protocol have been dropped by the American public because of their impractieability. These reports from Washington suggest the risks that have to be guarded against; but as against these reports, we have the assurance oi the cor- respondent of an administrationist paper that the President has taken care to obtain the views of Senators beforehand as to the main points ol the new treaty, and from the iutimations received is quite condent that the treaty will be ratied by the Senate. It is noticeable also that the general tone of the American press is favourable to a settli- mcnt; and American public men must see that the present is the most favourable pos- siblc time in which to obtain an adjust ment 0! the differences between the two countries. A nal settlement would be very much endangered, its difficulty in- creased, and the time indenitely postponed I _ AI... __..:a...I -nQ`||:l\ I'.q..Il__ aL..s -......l I l%BANKRUP`I April 19,1871.

The operators have re- | fused to hold any further conferences with - committees of miners, replying to the last communication that eighty-six cents per dia- _ mond car was their ultimatum, and when the miners notied them of its acceptance, work would be resumed. A few mines are being worked, but nothing like a general resumption has taken place. It is the opin- ion, however, of these best informed that this result cannot be much longer delayed. The Gladstone Ministry has been defeated on a minor issue, but it by no means follows that it there upon res`gned. The case was this: Mr Cowper Temple moved that a por- tion of that favourite London pic-nic ground -E ping Forest-should be reserved for a public park, whereupon Mr Lowe, as well as Mr Gladstone, replied that this could not be, as the park belonged, not to the public, but to the Crown. Mr Vernon Harcourt, Historians/` disputed this proposi=ion. on the apparent ground that the unopposed and long continued use which the plebs had had of the forest had destroyed the title of the Crown, and this view ultimately prevailed, for when the members went into the division lobbies, the Ministry _found itself in o. mi- nority of 101. occluloul. `In: some gentlemen also has in treining his Blk.

Forty years since (says the Montreal New) those who set out on ajourney to Kingston had to content themselves with Durham boats or barges and were satised if they could reach Kingston within eightdays. They fed on the provisions they brought with them, or bought on the road, or shared the fare of the hoatmen, Their sleeping accommodation consisted of a soft plank and a blanket ; the cabin had neithcr aide-lights or sky-lights; scuttles admitted light and air. _ Today the traveller can take passage in asnperbly decorated steamer, con- structed to accommodate two hundred passeu- gers; comfortable staterooms, vigilant atten- dants, excellent cooking, and copiously sup- plied tables. Such are the mutational brought about within forty years, the Durham boat of 1830 contrasted with the Corsican, the last ad- dition to the eet of the Canadian Navigation Company. SPECIAL TELEGRAMS.

Dr. Aloys Pichler at the Imperial library in St. Petersburg ; but the fullest. details are publish- ed in the London Daily News. It appears that Dr. Pich`er is a learned German, known as the author of the '-Theology of Leihnitz, ofa history of the Great Schism of the East and West, and latterly as the envoy of the Russian Govern. ment to observe the dispositions of the Oriental prelates at the Vatican Council. Some eigh- teen months since, he became head of the Rus. sian Imperial Library. For a considerable time valuable books and ngannscripts kept disappear- ing in the most unaccountable manner. The depredations became so great and so constant, that the directors of the library took an extreme step, in the hope of discovering the culprits. In Russia, and especially duringa Russian win. ter, the cu~tom of wearing thick and voluminous furs and overcoat: is regularly freanantmi oh- -...... vnsxntll tasntjs UENEUS. Long before the `American census of 1870 was taken our cousin loudly asserted that it would show a. total population of . 45,900,000 souls, but now that it has been tsken and duly footed up it only gives the beggsrly nrrsy of 38,647,534 This isusad falling offrom the anticipatious once so tondly indulged in, but it can be fully accounted for - in the tirst place by the war, secondly, by the higher rates of food. thirdly, by the decrease in emigration, the great source of_life without which the American population, liksp the population of France. would on the whole area, taking the east as well as the west, the south es much u the north, soon become stationery, if not decreese. As it is, the viitusl decline in the nature! and imported increabe of the population during the last decade is very large. The eight previous decedee, from 1790 to 1860, gave sn eversge incl-esse, decade by decsde, of 34 60 per cent. The last, thst is, the census just taken, fell: below that svtrnye by about 8 50. The average of the previous years was enormously hgh, but it should be remembered, perhaps in our ed, unprogressive and barren, that without immigration the year- ly increase of population by the egcess of [ha births in the United States over the deaths is about 1 in 38, while the actuel increase-and here we quote from the Statesman`: Year Book -from I840 to 1850, was 35.87 per cent, while from l8;0 to 1860 it amounted to 35-59.

The St. Catha- rlnes Tilnea says :-His general health, he says, is as good as ever it was. His only eilment is a very severe rheumatic pain in the left shoulder and arm from the elbow up. His anxiety is very much abated since Dr. Mack has satised him that the cause of the pain is not an inam- mation of the bone socket in the shoulder joint, but a sort of neuralgia in the muscular bres. Thisilsuer alfeetion is much more easily over _ come than the former, from which the loss of the use of the arm would have been quite pa.) siblo. In these respects he nds there is con- siderable dierence in the opinion of Dr. Mack and thole medical gentleman who hitherto at- tended hitn--but another of the numerous in_ stances where we nd that doctors will dimer, He has already had two Turkish baths and feels a little relief, though much could not efpented in so short a. time.

The procession was over a mile in length, the greater portion of it being seven and eight abreast. The roadway and streets of Waterloo, like Berlin, ate gaily de- corated with triumphal arches, festoons and banners, and the whole presented a very gay and animated scene. During the afternoon 61- ercises and addresses from the English resident to the members of the central committee or` management of German Peace Festiral were read by Mr,Wm. Jerey. The Hon. 1. Buchanan arrived during the day, and a telegram was re- ceived from Col. Ilctiiverin, regretting his in. ability to be present. During the day an acci, dent occurred, which might have proved serious; a portion of the platform at the Court House gave way, and the whole platform at the Town Hall, A infant was thrown out of a buggy, during ashort runaway. In the grand torch- light procession and illumination, 350 torches and numerous transparencies, were carried; houses decorated with cblnese lanterns and transparencies; unveiling of Germany, and dis- play of reworks in front of the Court House.

The doctor's back was decidedly hurd-hnrd as a books lillle bumpy. too. Conviction eshed upon the per- ter e mind. He inserted his hand beneath the jealously-guarded greeroont, and then, with- drawing ii, behold! a magnicently bound folio volume.
