It is in tuet the grand achievement of the campaign in the Wessern Province. The great chamâ€" pions of faction is beaten on the battle ground of his own chocsing. In a constituency which in tormer years rolled upits Reform majoritues by handreds, which was only carâ€" ried by Mr.Gizes after the Hon. Mr. Mowat‘s retirement, on account of the cessation of party warfare consequent on the formation of the Comhtion of 1864, he who claims to be the very embodiment of Retormm, the great and only : leader of the party, the champion of the rights of the Province of Ontario, is now igneminiously routed at the polla! This is indeed a triumph for the supporters of the Union cause, and a stern rebuke to the dis organisers. The influence of this election will be felt from centre to circumference of the whole Dominion, and will have an esâ€" pecially healthy effect on the state of public teeling in Nova Scotis, where the disunionâ€" ists have been in the habit of accepting Tus election contest in Toronto has now setiled down to a fair stand up fight, between the respective candidates of the two parties into which the Province is at this time d vud,itn”;’_lhminumol Mr. Mencairs in the field for the Local repreâ€" sentation of East Toronto.

For some time past we have taken but listle notice of the progress of the political warlare in the Maritime Provinces, but we are glad to be able to state that the cause of Umon :s daily gaining strength.

With regard to the contest for the Local, a majoritr of forty â€"five is claimed for Mr. Lrox at the close of the first day‘s poll; and we ure assured that several parties, releaseo from the cares of a contest in the city, startea fortn on the second day with the firm deâ€" termiuation to, if possible, defeat Mr. Sczan.

THEH OTTAWA TIMES, AUGUB‘t 28, i so7. on Deworarizarion. â€" Yesterday _ afternoon about two o‘clock, a huge free fight occurred between the French and Irish denizens of Parry and Kingâ€"sts. It appears that an Irishâ€" man had been drinking rather freely, and two of his countrymen were in the act of taking him home, when some other parties, said to be French Canadians, set upon them with conâ€" sicerable violence, and beat them badly. A defence was made, when others came, and without enquiring which was the right side fought on that of their nationglity. Fora while the fight subsided, and the lovers of peace indulged hopes pointing to the olive branch; when a young and lusty scoundrel doffed his coat in a twinkling, and rushed at a middle aged man, who was more than half séas over, and knocked him off the plank on which he was crossing over the wide trunch, which separates the houses from the street; as soon as he was down three others rushed in to share the victory, and pummelied the poor victim while he was down. Seeing that, twenty others ran to the rescue, many of whom were met on their way by opponents, and sometimes besides groups of belligerents fighting in undistinguishable confusion half a dozen single combats were going on around. Then again, breaking up into new forms like erystalizations or the separations lndu-eon-‘ biaations in the kaleidoscope. The whole thing at one ‘time resembled Pandemopium ‘ let loose with the apple of discord throwh in the old brewery were entirely destroyed. â€" Mr. Mulligan‘s shed contained ropes, sails, chains, &c., amounting with the building to the value of about siz bundred dollars, vpon which . there was no insurance. The real lo«s on the other property cannot be very great ; at any rate so far as the old brewery was concerned, because it had:long ceased to be used for the purpose which it was built for: and never would be used again. Indeed, we believe, it had been proposed to remove it. A fire it appears had been opserved on the preâ€" vious evening at about seven o‘clock, and as was supposed extinguished. All the fire engines were promptly on the spot, and water was in good supply, but it was found impossiâ€" ble to do more than save the dwelling houses, At one time the roof of Dr.Macdonnel!‘s kitchen was in a blaze, and the family began to reâ€" move the furniture. The several fire comâ€" panies did their duty nobly. thoir midst, A few women interfered in favor of peace, and the anxiety on the faces of all showed that to be the general wish. Aitoâ€" gether there were not less than 200 out of doors. Cries of "Police" arrested attention. Three Peelers hove in sight, and in a short time the warriors were no where, the police saw nothing,and made no arrests, and the boaten parties would lodge no complaints, and so the matter ended we hope. Fizz.â€"A fire broke out yesterday morning at half past six 0‘¢lock, in the rear of the two stone houses ownéd by Mr. Forgie, one of picd ‘by Dr. Macdonnell, on Rideauâ€"st. The space between the above houses, and those frame houses opposité on Georgeâ€"st., contained Walkley‘s old brewery &rnd malthouse, and shâ€"ds belongicg to Mr. Forgie‘s houses; and on# belonging to Mr. Mulligan, whose dwelling is contiguous on Georgeâ€"st.

Yegwtday, between tweive and one o'cfock, a revolt, attended with serious results, took place in the Provincial Penitentiary. The dinner for the prisoners having been brought from the cooking department of the instituâ€" tion, and placed upon the table, the men, numbering about forty, declared that the meat furnished was rotten, not fit for human food, and demanded something better, ‘The keeper remonstrated with them, telling them the food was good and wholesome, but they stoutly maintained it was not, and manifested a disâ€" position to revolt. They seized the dishes containing the food, and threw them upon the floor, at the same time threatening to do the officers of the prison (who, not .ndcip.tlniu disturbance, were not well prepared for such a scene) with &onoul violence. ‘The men, destroying the dishes, commenced mn;'lq the windows, and, in fact, Imnlngngnllth furniture which was within their reach. The Governor of the institution finding that matters were coming to a crlll-‘:nd apprehending perâ€" sonal violence, despatched a messenger to the nearest fort, with instructions to request the presence of a number of armed men to assist him in quelling the riot. In about a quarter of an hour afterwards the messenger returned, accompanied by a Sergeant and four Sappers, all of whom were armed with loaded rifles. But even the presence of the soldiers did not deter the riotous prisoncers, as they still pursued the work of demolishing everything within their reach that was breakable. The Governor, in the presence of the Sappers, who had now presented arms, demanded the inmates of the prison to desist, but they payed no attention whatever to his order. < The Governor, finding that ordinary means would not avail, and being apprehensive that the prisoners would make ufupenu attempt to effect their escape, reâ€" quested the Sergeant to order the Sappers to fire. The order was then given and promptly | executed, the n:*uh of which was the wounding of three of the |insubordinates, one of them very seriously. Soon after the shots were fired about twenty men of the Royal Enâ€" gineers, accompanied by an officer, arrived at the scene of disturbance, and their presence Intelligence of the insurrection was forâ€" warded to his Worship the Mayor, to Judge Pryor, the Attorney General, and the City Marshal, which gentlemen went to the prison, but the disturbance had been quelled previous to their arrival, All the prisoners were locked up in strong cells, and a number of policemen stationed in the building, who remained keepâ€" ing watch all night. | This is the most serious revolt that has as yet taken place in the peniâ€" tentiary, and we trust the ringleaders, whoever they are, will be severely punished. The promptness with which this insurrection was quelled ought to afford a salutary lesson to those of the prisoners who are dizposed, as some of them evidently are, to cause disturâ€" bance whenever opportunity offers.

"tim "wone ‘agin t > M i t mww%m%u Saturday last, within miles of this city. ed on our borders, The French population on the South of the St. Lawrence, inhabiting the disttricts of Kamaraska, Temiscouata, the Saguenay and Gulf Counties, go largely int. the fishing business; and so do the Jersey and other houses on the North and South coast Immigrants from Prince Edward Island and the â€"Magdalen Islands are constantly flocking into the Canadian fishing districts and settling there. Though yet in their infancy the Canaâ€" dian fisheries are doing well. The system of bounties, to which strong exception might be taken on theoretical grounds, is found to work well. It enables the Canadians effectually to compete with the Americans in the same marâ€" ket; the American bounty is $4, it is not reguâ€" darly paid, and is paid in currency, though the fishermen claim it in gold; the Canadian bounty is promptly paid in gold and it is divided equally between the owners of the tonnage and the fishermen,:if they be differâ€" ent persons. This law of course only apâ€" plies to Canada and does not apply to New Brunswick or Nova Scotia. ~Moreover many of the fishermen in the latter Provinces go more into the coast than into deep sea fishing. The question now engaging the attention of the Department of Marine and Fishing is as to the shape the law should be made to assume in adapting it to the interests and wishes of the Maritime Provinces. ‘Would they be willing to have the bounty system extended to them for a time, until the Fishing interests uire greater strength * Would they be more willing to do so than Untario and Quebec would be to have the system abolished? ‘Thesg are imâ€" portant inquiries, aod it is with A view to answer them in a way satisfactory to our fishermen, and out shipbuild?; interests,. in so far‘as they are conmected with the fishing interests, that Mr. Whitcher is now collecting information, at the instance/of the Minister of Marine and Fisheries.â€" It is evident that the bounty system must eithér be abolished or exâ€" tended to the Maritime Provinces, and adapted to their circumstances. Some of our fishermen corregpondents have demanded some such enâ€" couragement very loudly, as well as an inâ€" crease of the cost of license, paid by American fishermen,and we find that the feeling of the deâ€" partment is in favor of meeting their views as far as possible. Mr. Whitcher informs us that the system has worked well in Canada. Addressâ€" ed to an ekceptivhal state of things, he is favorâ€" able to it, looking at it from a practical point of view; our fishermen will generally agree with him, though some interests may not. The lul:rct is one of the greatest importance to the entire Dominion. Jt may be very well for our carsmen to be the champions of the worldâ€"to have their names mentioned and their photoâ€" graphs circyulated all over the Dominion â€"Onâ€" tario and Quebec pluming themselves on the aquatic prowess of St. Johnâ€"but it will be still better if we fur our carsmen and seamen with profitable work ; if we stimulate them in taking possession of the teeming wealth of our seas and and bays and rivers. It is to this congenial ‘department of labor that the thoughts of the Minister of Marineâ€"and Fishâ€" eries are now , and we have little doubt that, with his 1 energy, he will soon imâ€" part such an im to the fishing interests of the Maritime fi:m as will inspire our fishermen with f; ardour and lead/them ‘to redouble their efforts in search of the "spoils of the ocean." ¢ | Leq., lare now engaged in a very important inquify, the details of which will be worked gp by Mr. \thi\ehur, who is now in the city. trange as it may seem to Canada, as we usec¢ to call the’Uppor h::’heu, has for many years been endeavoring to stimulate her fishermen, and in various ways,trying to enâ€" able them to compete with their American rivals to whom a bounty is given, and who are further aided by prohibitory duties imâ€" posed on foreign fish. Under.the Fisherics Act a bounty of $4 per ton was paid on vesâ€" sels of 80 tous (vessels of smaller or larger tonnage are &qually eligible tor fishing) enâ€" gaged forfour months in the year,in the deep sea fishing ; the tackle of such vessels is adâ€" mitted duty free, and there are other exempâ€" tions in their favor, ‘The Canadian fisheries have realized about one million of doliars arnually which is equal, we believe, to hala the n!ne of the Nova Scotia fisheries, and 0‘ fifth of those of the United States as prosecutâ€" (From the St. John, N. #., Journal.)

The bay of Samana, which it is announced is about being sold to the United States Jz the Dominican Goverecment,‘is on the sou side of the penineula of that nanve, eituated on the corthâ€"east coust of the island of Hayti. The bay is tortyâ€"three miles in length from east to west, and about eight miles broad. The Yuma, the largest river in San Domingo, empties itself in at its weet end,and it has great natural facilities tor repairing or careening vessels of the largest burden. Samana, be -ideld'being one of the finest harbors in the world, occupies a most important position with reference to the vacious interâ€"oceanic routes to the West Indies, the Gulf of Mexico, and Central America.

The only delay to the opening of this railway for traffic is the nonâ€"delivery of its rolling stock, but this difficulty will, it is expected, be overcome by the middle ot September.â€" As regards transit through the tunnel, in consequence of the average gradiâ€" ent on the French halt being in 454, and the steepest gradient on the, line being one in 23, it will not be possible for atrain to go through from the North to the South in less than from 38 to 40 misutes. Coming from the South to the North the descent is much more gradual, but even in this case the transit will occupy from 3?;0 32 minm;l as a minimum. {:l has yet to be scen whether would not prefer, the outside line m’ being shut up in the tunnel so long as we have just stated.

If three metres a day ‘wnld be excavated on the French side, the performation of the tunnel would be acâ€" complished in three years and three weeks : but as in all probability it will not be pro ceeded with more rapidiy than two metres a day, it will require four years and 31 weeks to completeit. /The tunnel will be lined in its entire length Awith stone quarried in the immediate vicimty of the two enâ€" trances. At the present‘time the excava tivoas, or headings, are about 1,500 metres in advance ot the wwount lined. Each metre excavated and lined hitherto has cost, on an | average, 11,000 france, and vamous circumâ€" | stances will tend to increase this expenditure as the works proceed further inward. The approach on the French side, to connect its entrance at Modane with St. Michel, (the rmenr'um-inunon of the railway system of ‘rance, in the direction of the Mont Cenis,) ‘will‘ be twelve miles long, through an exâ€" tremely difficult and mountainous country. On the Italian side the amount of railway | ‘to be constructed from Bandeneche to connect it, in the neighborhood of Susa, with the" railway system of Italy, will \be twentyâ€"one and a halr imiles, The whole of these works will be of a very heavy and expens«ive â€"charâ€" acter.
