A rival company threw every impediment in the way ; the project was abused, &nd ridiculed in pamphlets and newsâ€" papers, â€" Mr. Coffin receiving a large share of the abuse and ridicule. He was told that the very idea of keeping a steamboat afloat on the St. Lawrence in winter, with the thermometer at 40 below zero, and snow storms the rule and not the exception, was too absurd to be thought of by any one fit to live out of a lunaâ€" tic asylum. ‘The result, nevertheless, has been that the boat has been running ever since, summer and winter, with searcely a day‘s stoppage.

Many of the most experi¢ pilots and ters of Canadian Jenu maintain the aff tive ; others the mmm. It will be récolâ€" lected that in the fall of 1861, when the Guards «came 1::-5‘“ in consequence of tuc affair of. the . the steamer Persia was deferted from landing a quantity of baggage and muniâ€" tions of war. at Rivicre du Loup, owing to the threatening appearance of the river. Nineâ€" teen old pilots then signed adocument, which was published in the newspapers, declaring that the Lower St, Lawrénce, up to above the Island of Bi¢, was open to nuvigation | in the months of January, February, and Marth. We offer these remarks frerely as suggestions, because #c doâ€"not consider ourselves qualiffed to‘®peak with authority in the matter. We ) rely mostly on the opinions of men who have \studied the question, and on whose knowledge and, judgment _ we have much reliance. ‘That there would be difficulties to ‘ encounter in navigaling the‘ gulf dnd river in winter, As weli as creating a)| shipping port would beâ€"nuscful for commercial. purposes, |we are willing to admit. | But money science, and resolution can overcome obstacles which often at first are supposed to be ijusurmountable. With respect to the effects . of . cold on the wheels and machinéry of a steamer, that ‘has been fully‘ tested ‘at Caughnawaga, and the temperature of shlt watert is known to be highâ€" er thiin that of fresh water. } Nordo we bolieve that the floating ice in the Friver below Bid or Green Island could injure iron propellers; and generally the water thers : is open «clear as far as the sight dan reach, . As for| the battures and formation af ice along the shore, good engineers and plenty of money would think little of them, (@and> would or make a way. to get rid of them or to 1d them to their purpose, _ In view of the vast benefits that a seaâ€"port within| our own territory would â€" confer. on . the. country we cannot but be 6&:pjnion that the nigtter ought to be put to test. _ One of the‘ firon propellers at the disposal of the British [Adâ€" miral ‘on the North‘ American Station njight be d’!]fl!&'ht'\l into the Gulf next February for the attempt.. The admiral, we ars cerfain, would not refuse to do so ; and the officers and men who brave the icebergs of the Atctic keas, would find no terrogs in the dangers of the St. Lawrence." There can be no question of the advailtage Can@d{ would derive from the winter lt tion of her great estwary and its inland recches attended as that most desirable|conâ€" summation would necessarily be by a winter: port within our own territory. ~It is stated by old pilots that there is very little flofting ice in the Lower St. Lawrence until the ponts and baftures of the upper water break wp in the early spring, ‘and that these would not form an obstacle to the winter navigation anyâ€" where a few miles belo® Quebec. From which it is to be inferred that vessels ‘could nd the St. Lawrence in winter as high as the Saguenay, of possibly as far up as the I¢land , of Orleans, Either of these points would|offer a convenient spot for a winter port| Opposite to the western end of the latter, in Lhe ighâ€" borhood of Indian Cove, an admitable [locaâ€" tion is to Le found, with, at this time, the adâ€" ditional advantage f the protection of the fortifications now building. Just Lbuv the point we‘ indicate the ice veryt:n y forms a bridge or jam, and the floating ice from ‘above rarely â€" passes the extreme western. end . of the island. | The «ce jnu'm at this poift from . two ses, the chief of which is the formation of thp bat ture inâ€"shoal water exténding from the gorthâ€" em: shore to the point* of the island. t in wdition to that the Royal Engineers |have caused a pier to be erected to be lJas a wharf, which willâ€"aid in the stoppage of the descending ice and in the carly formation of the jam or bruige. The Sagueriay would also, perhaps, be foundgavai ; but the distance ftrom Quebec would render a railway almost â€"an indispensible accompaniiment. These remarks are, of course, noqlung more than sugzestions which we throw out tather to provoke discussion upon this very essential subject than\to dogmatize upon a watter about which we must be ‘supposed to have. very little practical knowledge. We shall, however, be: highly gratified if our obkervaâ€" tions, in connexion with our contempor should induce those who are far mord comâ€" petent to form a correct judgment, to give the public the benefit of l.ltir knowledge exâ€" perience. It will not be irrelevant to |notige in connexion with this subject that our conâ€" temporaries have named Mr. W. H. Coftin as the former Sheriff of Montreal, to ’wlu.m Lachine .and Caughnawaga , owe | their winter ferry. This is an error. Mr./W. H.

The practicability of the winter navigation of the St. Lawrence is of the first importance to the commercial interests of the Province under any cireumstances, but in the peculiar position of our foreign n tile reâ€" lations it is preeminently so, and we trust that it will meet with prompt and earnest attention.

She was arrested . for lin‘l-ny a few days ago, and was to have been tried at the Police Court yesterday for the offence. . On the morning on Constable Davis and Detective O‘Neil proceedâ€" ing to the jail, they learned, how@xer, that the bird was fown, the prisoner having been bailed out by two aldermen. ‘The consequence was that Mr. Rowan, the private prosecutor, the witnesses, and the Police HDQ‘MJ who had attended for the trial, had to leave with the business undone, losing by the postponement a good â€" deal of time. ‘"Theâ€"system which allows aldermen to interfere with the course of justive, and defeat the objects of the police authorities is & pernicious one ; and the interâ€" ests of society require that gentlemen liable to sympathize with criminals should not be in a position to shield them from the punishment of the laws they violate.

Some preparation was required l‘qr the exhibiâ€" tion. _A strong pole, some forty‘ or fifty feet high, was erected in the front portion of the Handel orchestra, and round this was run a spiral column, connected with the ground beâ€" neath by a long spur having an incline of about thirty degrecs, . This spurand the windâ€" ing line in which it terminated, consisted simâ€" ply of a stout boarding, perfectly flat, not more than twelve inches broad, and fastened ‘in its upper portion to the central mast or pole by slight‘iron girders. At one side of the platâ€" form was lying a round slight colored globe, about two and a half feet or three feet in diâ€" ameter, â€" Signor Ethatrdo made his appearance at theâ€"appointed hour in the spangled costume, of the Sprite in a pantominey and, stepping on this ball, walked or ‘danced upon .it the whole of the way up the column, and descenâ€" ded again the entire space in the same extraâ€" ordinary fashion. â€" It was a mest ®trange and bewildering exploit. Jt is true that he was able on two or thriee occasions to obtain a moâ€" mentary rest by leaning on the girders which bind. together the slender erection, but he nevor employed this resource for the purpose of propulsion: _ In his &scent he had to depend for a motive power solely on the strength and agitility of his fect, which were, of course, at tlie same time most busily employed in mainâ€" taining his shifting balance. In the descent the ball was of necessity only too apt to: rush downwards, a:i it was only by the most wonâ€" derful skill and.care that its movement was checked and its direction was guided &long the narrow and winding line to which its/ vourse‘ was restricted. The Singularity of the scene was here, increased by the circumstance that the performer had to make his way backwards, the whole of his body being thrown as far as possible in the direction opposed to that which his unstcady support was tending. â€" We believe even passed along, slight clevations under the same difficult conditions ; but Signor Ethardo is, as faras we are aware, the first, man who éver attempted te wind his way updn so periâ€" lous a locomotive up and down a narrow and dizzy eminence, _ His feat was certainly a most remarkable on», and scems to entitle him in his own line, to almost as exceptional a place as that of Blondin himself in the dcrobatic world.". â€" on t Ais unsteady support was tending, .
