~ in war news coming from intereet-- ibeing "wistress of the sea." Likes OCT. 26, 1876. Reliability is not to be expected od parties who have every induce ment to tate matters as they would like them and not as they are, but on no previous occasion so far as we know, has unreliability so strongly « marked every vestige of news coming from the camps of Turkey and her rebellious subjects. Little or no reliance can be placed on any information coming from that quarter, but ot the two parties the Turks appear to be the more reliable. This uncertainty however is not confined to news coming from the hostile camps, the contemplated action of surrounding natious is no less the subject of misrepresentation and confusion. The one day the Great powers arc represented as perfectly in accord as to their policy at the present juncture, the next day Russia isstriking out for her- self and about to plunge into war at all hazards; then we have Austria mobilizing her armies to oppose Russia's plans. Then comes the terms of agreement between Austria and Russia, and Britain is mustering her forces and collecting her fleet 1n convenient spots; then we have all this denied and the asgertion made that Britain is satisfied to remain neutral and that the chances are that an early peace may besecurcd -- These several rumors however are not without their effects and the first indication that was given of Britain's intention to lend her active interference thrilled like an elcctral shock throughout every ramification of the stock markdt, foreign securities were shaken fo their very centre, stocks trembled and declined and the shock extended to the grain market which at the more sensitive points went up like magic.' Wheh the false information gets corre-ted the stocks again seek their equilib rium and the grain market falls to its former level but all this disturb- i : pense but an incredibly short time Britain again found hesself fur a hedd of any other nation of the éarth as a maritine power, and today the combined fleets of the entire 'world {of Port Perry, Mr. Black's generous, : would find their energies taxed to the very utmost 1n competing with ber. « From recent returns it is found that the British Empire bs now en- rolled in her own ports, or those of her colonies, a g of more than seven millions of tons. England, to protect this tonnage and her sea-coast, now has 400 ships of war whose tonnage exceeds 317,000 tons, while the other nations of Europe have, in the aggregate, 360,000 tons of ships of war. Esg- land has 50 ironclads; twelve of these are most efficient vessels built within the last fourteen years. At this moment she has 34 ships of war up - on the stocks, of which eight are superior iron clads, costing not less than $350 per ton. From a vareful review of the past it is found that during the last eight- een years England has expended $970,000,000, in gold, on her navy. In addition to this the subsidies she pays to mail steamers have averaged $5,000,000 annually for thirty years and the principal part of this large sum has been repaid by postages, but the subsidies have given her. in addition to her navy, more than 400 ocean steamships, subject to her call in time of war. England annually builds more than 20,600 tons of war ships. Some of her first iron-clads were experiments, but if we include those on the stocks she has now twenty of the largest class, ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 tons, protected by plates of seven to twenty inches in thickness, armed with rifled can-- non weighing eight tons to twenty- five tons each, and she is testing cannon which weigh eighty tons each and throwing projeciiles weigh- ing 1,700 each. Half her tonnage, manned by 60,000 seamen, is. con- stantly at sea. France has 84.000 tons of iron-clads, and 50 vessels on the stocks ; Turkey 66,000, Italy 38,000 tons. Russia has five iron- clads, one of them measuring 10,000 tons, and Germany has quite a num- salt cial ber, while Holland has 168 war ships,of which fitteen are iron-clads.' Bringing Down the Game. ance, this rising and falling produces of the speculators in Chicago have been rendered hopeless bankrupts in (o-seqrence of the false rumr y of the chauces of peace or war we regard the real indications to be in favor of peace for tworeasons. The first is that war cannot continue and be confined to ite present limits and Tarkey cannot afford to have the limits extended, she is utterly unpre- pared for an extensive winter cam. paign and so far from putting more men into the field she cannot main- tain in the field during winter those already out, she has all to lose by a prolongation of the war. The next reason for expecting peace is that the great powers of Europe know that war cannot be continued with- ont involving the other powers and 'none of them are willing to accept the awful responsibility of so dread- ful a conflict us a European war would now involve ; still one false step may kindle a fire which will require an ocean of blood to quench. So far the great powers have acted with mach caution and in a straight- forward manner, the contemptible shuffling and underhand trickery of] by gone days has so far never man- .ifested itstelf, Great Britain has on all former occasions shown a spirit of mag ity and ind d worthy of ber and her example has not been without its results, A very short time now must tell the "tale for destructive, devastating war or # temporary it not durable peace.

It was rumored around Port Perry on Tuesday morning that we were to have an- other whisky case infliction in our midst.-- 'The hearing was set for 11 a. m. but at half past eleven not a glimpse of magisterial light had yet dawned on that benighted crowd, thick darknes brooded o'er the min. ature Osgoodé" in the absence of the first scintillation of magisterial Jight and know- Jedge, but just us the gloom became unsuffer- able light began to dawn and increase until we had a perfect galaxy dazslingly brilliant. First we had Squire Robson, then, O, mercy! lg3quire Holman entered, and as it never rains but always pours with us in stepped who do you suppose but 'the veteran ond distinguished Squire Walker. The light shown forthwith smiling ray and scattered floods of light. Around the fount of justice were seated the three Squires, P. A. Hurd, Esq. the License Inspector, and mine host of the Dafoe House, Port Perry: Silence deep as death reigned throughout that hall while the gl pulated what d to the outside world, from the long continued awful silence, to be the death warrant of the unfortunate host who waited his doom with a fortitude which would hav done credit to a Spartan, Squire Holman now broke the PP painful silence by reading ia tones of thun- det, the information, on ont, of the License Inspector setting forth that mine host had a disorderly house on the 16th of October, and that he keeps a disorderly house. Mine host denicd the charge, This appear- ed to block the wheels and after a short con- versation the court arose ill one o'clock, when they might face the music with a good square magist: rial meal'on'their stomachs. The court assembled in the aftern~on with an additional magisterial light, Squire Nott being added to the number, but proceedings were delayed till a very little more law "| night be added in the person of Mr. Ebbls, During the delay councilor Rolph approact.- ed the table and asked their worships wheth- eror not the constables were - under their control? The Bench made no reply. Mr. Rolph said his reason for msking was to find out who is responsible for the damage of breaking the lock-up, that one of the con- stables had locked up a prisoner for being drunk and afterwards on his own. account he had released him, that prisoner had broken the lock-up and had got away without pay- ing the damage, and he would like to know 'who is responsible for the damage and how the corporation can collect it. He had been a member of the committee who had got up the lock-up and the ratepayers had been assessed for it and it was scarcely fair that prisoners should bu allowed to break it and get off without paying forit; either the prisoner or some one ought to pay for it. + Mr. Nott remarked that constables had been in the habit of locking up and releas- ing prisoners at will but a stop must be put to the practice at once. A common prosti- tute had been locked up the other day and released for the pleasure of some of the con- stables ; this must be put a stop to. Constable Rose said that it was he that had taken up and released the prisoner Smith who broke the lock-up, but if the theory urged by Mr. Nott and Mr. Rolph be correct that constables cannot ot their own accord lock up and release certain classes of prison. ers he, Rose, wourd not care to bea con- stable, There is no corporation iu the pro. vince were the constables have not certain discretionary powers to lock up parties who may be found drunk but not disorderly or it may be disorderly and release them: when they get quict and suber, if such discretion- ary power were not given no constable could perform his duties. Mr Rolph ssid he had no fault to find with the constable he only wished to know how the corporation was to recover the damage, Mr Nott said that the Reeve of the corpor- ation could prosecute the matter and recover from the guilty party, Here the matter dropped, © : Mr Rose was called and sworn--Knows the Holt House.

So faras I have seen Mr. Holt tries to maintain orler and calls on the constables to take charge of disorderly par- ties ; saw a row outside the house, but can't say that the party came out of the house or got liquor in the house. Never saw the slightest attempt at gambling of any sort in the house, nor any party whom Ikuew to be gamblers or look like gamblers, Here the prosecution begun to appear to those un- learned in the law to take the form of perse- cution, and the less learned of us, in qur 8 upidity, regarded Mr Ebbels' further ques-- tions as a species of legal hair-splitting and professional angling ; very likely all right in h 1ves but so much above the capacity of ordinary mortals that there was the great- estdangerin the world of the whole thing being regarded as & huge burlesque, But the witness was not to be caught with chaff and when asked to state if he saw gamblers, loafers, and loungers frequenting the house he wiscly left the analysis of these august members of society to his learned interrogator The counsel for the defence said as the witness had proved nothing against his client he had no questions to ask him.

Saw Mr Holt afterward and told him of what I had secn and heard. He (Mr Holt) said he was willing to do any- thing to preserve order, but the large number of strangers in the village rendered it disl- cult to keep a staight house, Complaints have frequently been lodged with me against. this house, Never saw or heard any dis- turbance in this house except in this in- stance ; huve at other times seen parties there who ought not to have been there ; from the appearance of these parties I judged them to be loaters ; I believe Jat Mr Lolt keeps a disorderly house, To Mr Hurd --Visited Mr. Holt's place every two or three weeks ; never suw any disorderly conduct there except on the 18th, would not swear that the parties in the room bad buen fighting or were going to fight but they appeared like it, they were drunk.-- Have seen the furniture in the bar room in a don't know any of the parties to whom 1 referred as should not have been in the bar room, believe them to be loafers from their appearance and dress, Considerable more time was taken up but the above is all the evidence that was adduced.

The prosecution en- tirely broke down, Mr Rose's evidence was streight forward sod exhaustive but so far from inculpating Mr Holtit went far to prove that there are but few houses in the province which are kept ina more orderly manner, i Mr Frankish's evidence went far to prove the same thing.

DIRECTORS' MEETING. A meeting of the Officers and Directors of the wownship of Brock Agr'l Society was held at the Nipissing House, Sunderland, on Saturday, 14th inst, There were present the resident and Secretary, and Messrs J Stones, Jas Stone- house, W H Rundle, Jos Thompson' J A Campbell and J H Curtin, Di The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. There were two protests read by the Sec. retary, one being from Mr Julius Shier in regard to the decision of the Judges on Fancy Top-8ewed Quilts ; the other from Mr John Speiran in regard to the decision of the Judges on Coarse Roots. After considerable discussion on the matter, it was unanimous ly resolved that the Judges' award be con- sidered final. 2 Several accounts were presented, passed and ordered to be paid. Mr D Leask was heard in regard to the awards made by the judges on Durham Milch Cows, It appeared that Mr Leask's cow had been adjudged and that he had re- ceived the 2nd prize ticket on the field from the Judges, but after the Cattle were off the field and the returns made to the Secretary, the Judges saw fit to change their minds and give that prize to another, Mr Leask considered this unfair to him, and thought that such proceedings should not be recog- nized by the officers of the Society, The officers present were unanimous in thei opinion that whatever awards were ifiade should be made on the field, and that Mr. Leask should receive the prize as awarded him, x Mr Stones was next heard with reference td a statement made to him by the mana. gers of the North Brock Ag'l Soc'y, wishing for a union and smalgama ion of the two. -- On bearing this statement it was rs Ived that at any time the officers of the North ~~ Brock Agr'l Soc'y shall see fit to call a meet- ing at 8 lat aud give doe notice of samo to the Sec'y of this «that the officers of this Society shall meat and confer with them and ¢ union ona fair | had been tattling and lying to the Inspector witha view of MrHolt. prudence as practiced by the innumerable P's of this unfortunate neighborhood.
