There is no department in the broad field of industry where silent, plodding, | persevering ingenuity reaps half the triumphs that she wins in the depart-- ment of Agricultural Implements ; and there is decidedly no other department whose beneficial effects can for a mo- mest compare with those resulting from the efforts put forth in this department, whether we regard the time and labor saved, or the largely increased returns; realized. We require no extended retrospect to be in a position to judge of the vast and | rapid strides which have been taken in this department, and the noble victories which have been achieved ; compared with which the b d victories of the battle field dwindle into utter insignifi- cance. Had the nations of the Earth spent only one cent in the encouragement of Agriculture for every $1,000 they have wasted in war or its surroundings, instead of finding matters as we now do, espe- enlly in the Old World, where there is not a solvent nation amongst them and where every second man is a slave and carries either a soldier or a pauper on his back, we would find the world a well culiivated garden, and happiness and prosperity the rule, and not the ex- ception as now. In the first place in es- timating the advantages we derive from the skill and ingenuity of our Agriculta- ral Implement makers, we have only to compare the old one--handled plow with such plows as were exhibited at our show yesterday. Again take the sowing of our grain, when the farmer plodded over the fields and stuck his hands into a bag which he lugged around and threw the seed from him in every possi- ble direction, sink or swim, and went af- ter it treading the half of it under ground, some eight or ten inches, and thus put- r-------- for a larger amouat than seven per cent shal! be utterly vesd, and every pemsen whe shall take--either directly or indirectiy--a higher rate of interest than seven per cent shall forfeit and lose all the interest and half the principal so leat. Half of the thus forfeited is to be applied to- wards the support of tbe Common Schools m the city, town or iownshsp in which the borrower resides ; and the ther balf is to go 0 the party who institutes the sui. The Act will most likely bs considerably amended ere it 1s allowed to pass.

Compare this, we say,|. with the results of the " Farmers' Fav- rite," the well known grain drill, man- ufactured at the Oshawa Agriculiural Works. This machine does its work so perfectly that not a seed is left exposed, not one buried beyond the reach of fruct- ification ; but it is evenly and regularly sown at such a depth as will best con-- duce to an abundant yield. And last,but by no means least, look what they have done for us in reaping our fields. Who does not remember of the plaguy little reaping hooks by which every stalk had almost to be cut singly, and the stoop- ing and the sweating and the toil that attended it , not speaking of the tra ling down the grain, and the half ofit be- coming over ripe ere the slow of harvesting could overtake it. What is the condition of things now? What a! contrast is there between then and now! when the farmer can hop into a seat as! comfortable as an easy chair and drive] around his field laying down 14 or 15 acres every day, and trampling down | none of the grain. The indefatig. | able mechanic, however, per-| ceived that there was still thing wanted to perfect the reaper.--! Most of them could do well ia standing | grain, but pone of them could succeed where the gain was badly lodged. They | perceived that of the chief defects ome was in the reel ; but the question was bow ' were these difficulties to be surmocnted ?| Mr. S. Johuston of Brockport, N.

And about live years ago offered it to the world as a Perfect Self-Raking Reaper, capable of cutting gram bowever | badly lodged it may be. These high sounding recommendations were very pro- | perly received with considerable caution, | and the makers of other machines denied that Johnston's macnines possessed the! superior advantages which be claimed for them. Joboston, however, being confident of the superiority of bis Reapers invited all disputants to a test of the capabilities of them. He met his oppcnests at the pubke State Trials and Fairs, and bavisg sve- ceeded in carrying off the the principal prizes, the claims of the machine were no longer disputed. This machise is sow mapufactured by Brown & Paitersor, of the Whitby Agricultural Works.

The very large number of people who had come from the surrounding townships to take part is the show makes it plain that a vastly increasing interest 1s being takes in owr Agricultural Shows.

The Canwright Agrisultaral Society's Spring Show was held at Williamsburg, on Friday, 23rd jst. The weather was all that could be desired ; but the roads were far from being agiecable. It was pleasant 10 observe, as we passed along through Reach and Canwright, the fine Fail Wheat, it looks strong and healthy and promises an excellent yield. When we amved at Williamsburg we found a large number of people prose, and quite a number of ihe show. The bulls was not #0 weil represented, there being only three on exhibition. Brown & Patterson of the Whitby Agricultural Works had some excellent Agricuitoral Im- ts oun exhibition. One of the agents from that es:ablishmenti--E. North-- cot, showed Gang-plow, and a new 1m- proved plow both of which were much ad- mired. The new improved plow No. 2, is very much like the Dominion Plow, all the difference that we could discover being in the beam. Brown & Patterson's " Cayuga Chief Janier" was extbited by D.Urqubait. This ie decidedly the best mower we have seen, as well for neatness of construction, comfort, and use in management, as a thorough adoption 10 the purposes for which nis ; being trom 11s construction folly competent 10 cut cleanly, and easily it matiers not in what state the hay may be, the mower is warranted io col it cleanly and expedicious!y. The arrangement is so simple and eomplete by which the height and position of the knives are regulated that the party who drives--a little boy gould do i-- by means of a lever may rae or lower the knives or slant them in any desir- ed way to suit the groond and condition of the crop 16 be cut. This mache secured a very large share of aliention, and was mush sdmired. The kind and affable maaner in which Mr. Urquhart describes the several points of the machine secures for him the C fid of the farming com- mauity. Mr. Benson, of Borelia, exhibited a new patect churn of which he is the patentee. There have been so many patent churns of late that one is apt to lose track of them, and moch more apt 10 doubt their utility. 11 is no wonder that it should be so ; for the ameunt of humbug that has been pal ned ofl on the public in this Jirection is past endor- ance, while the nomber of patentees 1s al- most legi Wile soch 1s the fact it is no proof that cor chums are not susceptible of improvement, and we believe that the chern patented by Mr. Benson is a vast im- provement on avything yet offered in that lige.. In fact 1 appears 10 us as all that could be desired in the way of churn, Benson's "Crean Cotter," we should judge, will epeadily supersede every other description of charn. By noon a lage and respectible crowd had collected io witness the show. Here a perfect concert of dinner bells annonnced the welcome tidings that our Hosts Cooley and Mason were prepared 10 entertain their gueste. After dinner the Officers and Di- rectors of the society began 10 hop around making the necessaly arrangements for bringing oot the boses. The judges, Messrs. H. Sylvester Wm. Hazelwood, and T. Lamb, took their position and had the Dsaaght Horses brought out. There were three entries in this class, capital animale, Wm. Butson's, (Reach), " Young Grey Wallace," a powerful com- pacily built animal of a light grey color. James Harper's, Darlington,) " Young Robin Clyde," a beavtitul dark grey horse, four years old, and James Woodlay's, (Dar- lington) " Lord Byron," a dark bay three year There were six entries for General Por- poses, James Byer's, (Canwright) « Young Robin Hood," a fine black three year old-- Mr. Lowrie's' (Darlington), " Merry Far- mer," --a spendid chestnut Lose, el tn | year old-- 8.

The steady pnward progress which the Cantwright Agricultural Society is making, 2s evinced Ly the improvement in their shows and the increasing interest taken in them by the community, must be a source of satisfaction to the friends and promoters of this society. [It is pleasant 10 see those societies supported with energy. It is enough that Directors manage the affairs of the society, without being forced to rua down members and squeeze the dollar out of their fingers. How much more credit- {able 1s il 10 see members paying up from time to ime withont being asked . ee DOMINION PARLIAMENT, On the 21st teu petitions were presen ted. Twelve Bills aay and read a first time, viz: Making Dominion Day a General Holiday--to amend the Extradi- ton Act--the everlasting nsury law--against Dos! Represeutation=Insolyency Agt am- endment and sevén acts under the head of Criminal Law. On the 21st Mr. Galt gave notice that on the 23rd he would move for the production of all with the Imperiai Gov- ernment regarding the expense corred by Canada in defence of the American fronti in 1863 and 4, aud also in guarding against Fenian invasion.

Mr. Holton fairly gushed over with laud- at:ons for the Finance Minister for his pluck in polling the ears of the President of the Great Western Railway Company ; and Mr. Rose was not slow in acknowledging the compliment. eet DOMINION MATTERS. The Elections of Nova Scotia have began and ended. There were a repealer and a unionist set up for each of the three vacant constituencies. Hants, Yarmouth and Rich- mond, with the following results. Hants elected a Unionist by a majority of 380.-- The other two ejected Repeslers, one by a majority of 600 and the other by--.-- It is said that the Hants election is to be protested against on the plea of bribery, but this is all bosh, there was no election about it on either side, it was a simple purchase and sale ; and sufficient bribery went on with both parties to disqualify every one concerned trom ever having a moral claim 10 a seal in either house. Comparisons are frequently odious, and certainly that made by Howe atthe close of the contest was particularly so. He com- pares his victory to that of Inkerman, If there be any resemblance between indomi- table courage and the arbitrament of. the sword on the one hand, and miserable cupi- dity and the arbitrament of the Almighty dollar on the other, then the contests were very much alike. Howe is very sick and is again confined to his bed. The floods in Montreal have taken the wind out of the Velocipedes in that city.-- The chief means of transit during the past week has been old doors, planks and boards. The streets 1n the lower portion of the city having bean several feet under water.-- Parties had to adandon the lower stories of their houses and go out of their windows in- 10 boats or on planks, &c., when they wish- od 10 go outanywhere. The want and dis- tress get those who were forced to abandon their homes was very gieat. Their losses, though not great 1 amount, will not soon be repaired. A terible disaster took place at Granby, Quebec, on the 22md inet. A number of people were standing on the principle bridges watching the progress of the Hood, when one end of the bridge gave way, pre- cipitating eleven persons into the water, all of whom were drowned. Amongst them was a mother, her daughter and grand- daughter. Also, a Mrs. Bradford and her eon and daughter. Dams on the Saugeen were washed away at a learful rate. A VOTE OF CENSURE. The now famous Quebec City Council passed a vote of censure against the Mayor on the 231d inst. YOUNG CHALONER. Tne trial of young Chaloner for shooting Ensizn Whittsker comes up next week, at the Court of Queen's Bench, which will open on Tuesday. Solicitor Gen. Irvine will conduct the case lor the crown. Sev- eral prominent lawvers have been retained for the defence. The sympathy, not only of the inhabitants of the locality in which he lives, but of every part of the Dominion, aye ; and beyond il, wherever the facts are known, is with the young man. I'he Criminal Court was opened at Que. bec, on Tuesday, 27th inst., at 10 a. m. Chief Justice Duval and Judge Caron pre. siding. The Court Room was crowded. The Chief Justice cited to the Grand Jury the law bearing on the case of Chaloner. His honor stated that however great the provocation might be, if a sufficient time elapsed for reason to be restored, for the passion to cool ere the mortal blow is given the party who thus takes away life is not a homicide but a murderer. The Grand Jury came into court at one o'clock p. m. with a true bill against Chaloner for murder. The prisoner was then arraigned, and would be ready to proceed with bis trial on Saturday next. The prisouer 1s to be defended by Parkin, Q. C., and Pamodon, both first class criminal lawyers. DROWNED IN THE TABLOT RIVER. John Brown and Michael and John Bren- nan, in crossing the Tablotin a skiff, on the 19th. struck on a snag and vpset the boat. John Brennan was drowned ; the other two got to shore. KILLED BY INDIANS. J. M. Clark, eldest son of Mr. H. Clark, of the township of Enniskillen, was killed by Indians a short time ago at the .Mcutona mines. Clark was a young man about 24 years old. Some of his neighbor miners followed the two indians who did the deed and dispaiched them both. ---- @ ---- UNITED STATES: Cuba «li'l maintains the most important position 1m American politics. It can't be doubted for a mc ment that Jonathan would like 10 add this queen of isles to his already anwieidy farm ; but he is a hile afraid to toach it lest he should burn his fingers. * THE CUBAN REVOLUTION. The English papers speak threateningly of the results of this wsurreetion, and more than him that if the States interfere there will be hot times. The Spanish Government is adopting vig- orous measures for the suppression of the Rebellion, they know well that if it should continue much longer it will succeed in throwing off the Spanish yoke. The United States minister at the British court made a formal demand on the Brinsh foreign Secretary for an explanation of the capture of the American ship Mary Lowel, captured by a Spanish war vessel, in British = waters, and in charge of a Butish Revenue Officer. The English pers designate the capture as a mad act, and England 1s aboutto demand from Spain prompt ion and suitable rey Accounts from Watertown, N. Y , state that a feaifol devastation has taken place amongst the dams on the Black River ; not even dams but wills and factories were be- ing swept away. Nie seperate factories have either been 2ntirely carried off or so much damaged as to be rendered useless. Albany and Troy have had their full share of the floods. Many of the Railways were completely stopped, being submerged, some of them to the depth of four or five faet. The water set fire tojGlenfall's store in the city of Troy, which, with several other buildings, was barned 1e the ground. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT. A sad disaster took place on the Long Island Railrcad on the morning of the 24th inst. The tram which left Hunter's Point at 10 a. m. ran of the track near Amiens, caused by a broken rail. The chief disaster befel the hind car; in this there were 15 assengers, not one of whom escaped injury. 8 being killed on the spot and the rest morn or less severely wounded. The car was literally smashed to splinters.

The members of the Spanish Cortes are doing well and holding on to their integrity. The Pnme Minister, Serano, declared before the Cortes on the 21st, that the only chance open for Spain was Montpensier for king or a Republican form of Government. Zorilla rephed at length, asserting that either the one or the other was impossible, that a Republic would be a nauonal calam- ity ; and that as for finding a king there need be no uneasiness on that score, for there were plenty of kings growing up, and Span would get one of them in good time.

OFFICES--46 FRONT-ST., TORONTO. PROSPECTUS. The Provisional Directors of the Toronto and Nipissing Ratiway Company fincing that further progress in the building of Broad Gaoge Railways in Canada with Enghsh Capital, was no longer financially practic able or expedient for lies of Railway pro- jected for local traffic, and having become cognizant of the successful workings for a number of years of Railways built on the three feet six gauge, in the Kingloms of Norway and Sweeden, in the Colonies of - | Queensland and New Zealand, and also iu : | India, and that these Railways were capable of acer mmodating a traffic of about a million or a million and a balf of ons of goods per annum, and of carrying passengers al a speed of iwenty-five to thirty miles an hour, and seeing that the average speed of pas- senger trains, cluding stoppages, in Ca- nada, does not exceed twenty miles an hoor, and that the total traffic of the Northern Railway (which offers a fair illustration of the waffic tojbe obtained by the Toronto and Nipissing Railway) did not exceed 195,000 ions, and 140,000 passengers, have there- fore resolved to construct the Toronto ard Nipissing Railway on the thiee feet six gange, in the mos1 economical and efficient manner consistant with a total cost of $15,- 000 per mile. The Directors have also noted Captain Tyler's report on the Festiniog Railway, two feet gauge in Merionethshire, Wales, the freight and passenger tiaffic of which approximates closely to that of the Northern Railway, and, with the exception of the lumber traffic largely exceeds that carried on the Lindsay and Port Pope, or on the London and Port Stanley Railway. With a view 10 a just apportionment of the risks incidental to capital invested in Railway enterprise in Canada, it was re-. solved to ask the municipalities most to be benefitted by the of the, Rail- way, for one-third of the total cost of the Railway, viz : $5,000 per mile, by way of bonus or gift. This propostion of the cost has already been voted for the main. line, gxcepting $50,000, yet obtainable, mn de- bentures bearing six per cent, payable in 20 yoars--securities whichjare unexceplionsble and will sell here at or near par. Ofthe remaining two-thirds of the eapital, it is proposed now to effer here $400,000 to be subscribed in stock. If that or a larger amount is not so subscribed, bonds will be issued for the balance of aboot $6,000 per per mile. Thos, local capital to the extent of about two-thirds of the cost of the Rail- way will be security 10 holders of the bonds [6 this Company. The interesi-bearing $10,000 per mile. [The Directors dg not proj to extend the line beyond evans Lake Nipissirg, unless sabeidized by the Gov- of this Province with land or money sufficient to guarantee the Company from the lose of any private capital to be in- vested in the sections of the line beyoud Coboconk. » Nevertheless, the Company feel assozed that the first section being successfully com- pleted, the remaining sections will immedi- ately receive aid from the Government to the extent necessary lo secure the construc tion of the line to the ultimate terminus at Lake Nipissinz--thus ensuring to the pro- prietors of the first section the practical wn- limited timber waffic, as well as the gen- eral business of an immense new tesmitory Prince Albert, April 14, 1869. 16-1 of twenty thousand sqaase miles. . capital will thus be !
