In March, 1879, onfy 5,965 immigrsnts arrived. Of last month’s arrivals, 6,503 were from Germany, 4,007 from Ireland and 2,780 from Eng- lsnd. Their condition compares favor-o nbly with that of theimmigrants of pre~ Vionl years. The Irish do not. seem poorer in consequence of the famine, those severely affected by it being nu». able to get away. Nearly all are bound for the West, and proceed thither with- out delay.

The law against Inch meninges has never been recog- niaed an an impediment by those who defined to contract such unions, and the Bill regnrded from a common sense point of View in one called for in the interests of morality and individual right. In the latter case, to remove civil powers from the hands of ecclesiastics. When a Church claims and exercises the right of granting dispensation: to perform a contract not valid in law, the supremacy of the State can only be established on the ruins of individual happiness. It is therefore, only proper that laws which may be set aside as matters of conscience heving reference cnly to forms of reli~ gione belief, should be repealed and the pceeibility of a conflict of the kind indi« cated made impossible. months. F30! a recently issued official return { relating to the English mercantile navy, covering the last twenty years, we learn that there has, in that period, been a relative falling 00‘ in the number of sail- ing vessels, end a more than proportion- ate increase in the number of steamships. The sailing vessels decreased from 19,~ 090 in 1860 to 16,449 in 1879, the ten-- nege being 3,852,245 in the former year to 3,918,676 in the latter. The number of steamers increased from 029 to 3,580, and the tonnage from 399.494 to 3,331,157. These figures indicate an enormous expansion in the British "lpping trade. An increase of about sixfold in the tonnage of the steamers means more than a similar increase in sailing vessels would imply, for the efl'ective power of the steamer as a car« rier may be three or four times that of the sailing vessel, as the former will make three or four voyages to one of the other. The men and boys employed have also increased in number, too, though not in the same proportion. The total in 1860 was 26,105, and last year 78,371.

A correspondent, Writing to the Globe on this subject. displays great intimacy with the working of loan societies, and advocates that the bill “ should be made tetra-active as Well as prospective to protect those who are already in the toils, and to give them an opportunity of getting out on equitable terms." "‘ * * When a man makes a bargain he should take care to know what he is doinv. He gets the money on certain conditions and must be prepared to abide by them; the main point to be considered is that he should not, by a concealed process, be made to pay more than he bargained for. PRINCE GORTCHAKOFF, whose death is hourly expected, is the oldest states-- man in the world. Born in 1789, he has seen more changes in the world’s great theatre than any public man of modern times. He is decended from one of the oldest families of Russia, many members of which had won dis- tinction as soldiers and statesmen.â€" Dimitri Gortchakoii', who died in 1834, occupies a high position as a poet in the estimation of his oeuntrymen. The Prince, who is now passing away, was in his youth a pupil of Nesselrode, who gave him his first diplomatic appoint- merit of importance at London in 1824. From that period down to a recent date he has filled many of the most onerous positions in the set vice of the Emperor, and was intimate with all the courts of Europe. 'l‘hroughout the reign of the lear Nicholas he performed the most l dillicult missions for that must chCting of masters, and it. Was mainly through his skill that the allies were haliled, though not defeated. in the Crinn-u.â€"â€" Afterwards, when the Frauco~Uermun war offered the opportunity. he secured, by an understanding with Ilismatck, a revision of the treaty of Paris at the London Conference, by which an end was put to the neutralimtiou ot' the Black Sea. This was his most brilliant achievment, for by it he rendered nnga tory the vast sacrifices made by Great Britain and France in the Crimean war. ‘ He it was who firstinsisted on the right of each nation to settle its own; internal affairs without the interference of out" siders, a course which increased his popularity at home and his prestige abroad, and won for him the position of Chancellor of the Empire. llis policy has always been agt ressive. especially in Asia, and distinguished by steady opposition to England, though it was eVer his object to preserve an appear" ance of oordiality. lie upheld the prin. ciple of tmtionaiitivs, in the two Sicilies, among the Christians of the East, and retnonstrated against foreign interfer- ence in Neapolitan nfi'aim. lie favored the French expedition to Syria in 1861, for the protection of the Christians, but refused to associate himself with Frame anti Great Britain in their unfriendly attitude toward the United States alter the outbreak of the civil war and thus secured a lasting friendship with the American Repubiic.

While attention is called to this sub- ject by one of your subscribers, this week, a law words might be said legard- ing another deformity of the mouth and teeth, known as Purrot~moutln This consists in a projection of the upper In- cisor Teeth in front and overhanging thOse oi the lowerjaw in some instances to the extent of two inches. In such cases the lower incisom become so lo; g that they bruise and otherwise injure the bars or ridges on the roof of the month ; in fact the teeth in both jaws become elongated on account of not be» ing worn off by the attrition which in a well formed mouth keeps them eta pro ‘ perler-gth. A horse with Parrot~month ‘may feed alright from a manger pro. viding the teeth are kept tiled so they ,do not come in contact with the bars on the loaf of the mouth ; those of the up per jaw may be shortened at the some time. If turned out to grass, however. it will be impossible for him to collect his food. On this account a house with Parrot-mouth is of less value and conseâ€" quently unsound. Thisdeformity though not very common should be borne in mind in purchasing horses. DEFORMITY OF THE MOUTH AND IRREGULARITIES OF THE TEETH. (Bur wrtnriuurg 030mm. MB.

Anaâ€"You should make a careful examination of your horse’s mouth for he is evidently suffering from son-e dis- ease of the Teeth. Probably a decayed tooth or some irregularity of grinders. If from the former, the only remedy is to have the diseased tooth removed ; if, however, the latter is the cause, file or chisel the projecting ones to correspond with the others. A foreign bud y lodged in the back part of the mouth will also give rise to similar symptoms. There are a great number of horses, especially aged ones, destroyed from the above causes, which a little attention to their teeth would make useful animsls for a number of years. AT the last meeting of Brock Town- ship Council a resolution Was passed to ask the Toronto «is Nipissing Railway 00., to fuitil their contract; with the township in reference to \Vick Station.

ON Friday a terrible accident occurr- ed at the saw mil lof Pluyfair Bros., near Parham, whereby John Lee, of Pal-ham, was completely decapitated and one of his arms cut off. Lee, who was foreman of the mill, was engaged in fixing the guides of one of the cir- cular saws, and by some means he fell against it. The machine was running at full speed and his neck, on touching the saw, was gradually drawn along and, befove the saw could be stopped, the poor fellnw's head Was sewn oil.

Lennon April 14.â€"Most intense anxiety reigns in this city respecting the safety 0! the training ship Atlanta, which left Ber- muda on the lat February bound for Porta- mouth, and which is now seventyâ€" three days out. The captain of the West Indian steamer ’I‘amar,whieh has just arrived, re- ports having seen on his outward journey to Aspinwall, and also on his returning, alargo copper-bottomed vessel bottom up. A rough sen prevented rhe Ta'uar'a ascertaining the name of the derelict craft. According to the computation of the captain of the Tamar the vessel was about a thousand tons. This will almost correspond with the size of the missing craft. which is of 985 tons, and it is to he feared that the ilLfeted vessel has met with disaster in mid-ocean. Several men-o!- wer will be sent this week by the Admiralty to search for the wreck in question. In the meantime the Channel Fleet, comprising the Minolaur, Agincourt, Achilles. North-tuber- (and, and Salamie will proceed to thoroughly scour the sea. from the Asores to Bantry i Bay in the south of Ireland. Losoon, April l5.-â€"-â€"The Times editorially says it is too probable that the Atlanta has met with some grave mishap, but there are many misadventures short of total destruct- ion which might account for her disappear- ance. The Admiralty yesterday received a hundred and fifty telegrams and two has- dred personal applications for information regarding the missing vessel. There Was a report current that the steamer Tamar,fmm the West I dies, had passed a copper bot- tomed ship capsized. Conjecture associated this report with the Atlanta. but the captain of the Tamar contradicts the whole story, and says he saw no such vessel. The Chan- nel squadron and the despatch Vessel Sala- mis leit Gibraltar yesterday to search for the missing ship. Loxnon.

The cepâ€" tain of the Para believes that his vessel broke her shaft in consequence of her screw coming in contact and being entangled in some of this wreckage, which is probably nll that is left of the ill-fated Atlanta. There is now scarcely a shadow of hope left for the safety of the ship, and her nd fste has carried desolation into hundreds of English homes. A TU BCARORA Biuxrronn, 0nt., Aprii19.â€".â€"'l‘he town- ship of Tuscarora was lost- wesk the scene of a most brutal murder. On Thurdsy morning Benjamin Csrrier, s. farmer, living in the Indian woods, ten miles southeast of this city, and about six or seven from Onon- daga, told his wife. Nancy, to get out the oxen, as he wished to draw wood. When his request had been complied with he in- formed her that ho had changed his mind, and that he intended to go for basket ms. terisl instead. She acquiesced in the chsnge and drove 03' with him to her desth. “'hst happened exactly between them while on their errand will, oerhaps, never be known. Not long after Carrier and his wife set out for the woods, the latter returned alone sud told his children, six in number, thet their mother was in the water, but thst she would soon come back, sud they were to tell her to get dinner while he was any for turnips. Some neighbours, observing thst Carrier returned unaccompanied by his wife, had their suspicions aroused. Inst’io E tntiug inquiries, they proceeded to the loosi- ity visited by the pair, which is a short distance from the house, and were horrified to find Mrs. Carrier dead in s pool of water with her head chopped to pieces. ller arms were black and blue and the portions of her body were covered with many bruises, show. imz that here had been a rigorous tight for life. The victim is a stout woman and there must have been a terrible struggle, to all appearance, before she went down belore the terrible blows from the hands of her assailant. While the crowd which had gathered around the body were talking and gesticulating. the brutal and callous hus- band stood off on a knoll taking in the scene, which he appeared to regard with great in- difference. He was then end there arrested, notwithstanding his assertions of innocence, which have since his incarceration been re. iterated. An inquest was hold upon the body on Friday by Dr. Dee, Coroner, who felt warranted in sending Carrier up for trial.
