The Ottawa subscription, thanks, perhaps, in a great measure to the noble example of Mr. Fizxtxc, and thanks certainly to the indefatigable exertions of the Maror and the Secretary of the Comuittee, as well as to A the zeal of Mr. Stacy, the collector, has now \ reachedâ€"the respectable figure of $1,680. More than twoâ€"thirds of this amount is alâ€" ready awayâ€"on its mission of merey to buy provisions in the best market, and have them forwarded to the starving settlers at the earliâ€" est possible moment.

The papers of the Ontaâ€" rio Capital bave urged upon the citizeas the necessity of doing something, if not for charâ€" ity, at least for shame‘s sake; but the hearts of the Torontonians seem to be steeled against charity, and their cheeks hardened against the blush of shame.

But for the M1ror of Ottawa, and one or two _others, we fear that our own city would have had no such honorable exhibit in this affair ; and, therefore, we call upon our rich neigh bours, East and West, to get the right men w take the lead, and then go abead with their subscriptions.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. W ! Tus London Free Press, which has ever been a persistent opponent of the Intercoâ€" lonial Railway, which has battled for what it called the " shortest ‘‘ route, when it was not battling for no route at all, is now exceedingly surprised that the country has not been worked up to a high state of excitement, beâ€" cause of the selection of the Northern. In a recent issue, it says: & s be annually paid out to keep the wheels runâ€" ning, to clear away the snow that will encumâ€" ber them, and. find grease for the empty cars that, for form‘s sake, will boe kept in motion on it ?" " The goneral apathy with which the subject is regarded, the substitution of a long and tedious route, going away round an almost unâ€" inhabited country, and of a length so great as to make it absolutely useless for general comâ€" mercial purposes, suggests that there is a m‘sâ€" conception somewhere. Do the public really understand that a sum of money, «qual to beâ€" tween thirty and forty millions ot dollars, is about to be absolutely sunk in the wilds of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick ? That, moreover, notwithstanding this large outlay, payable in twenty years, a satill further sum is to We might ask the Free Press whether it seriously believes the people to be so dead to their own interests, as to remain apathetic it they imagined for a moment that its picture was a true one? â€" Has it the evidence of any man familiar with the subject to sustain the truth of its assertions ? The * apathy" and * indifference‘‘ of the public are not the occasim of any surprise to those who understand the question, howâ€" ever much they mayâ€""amuse‘"‘ or astonish the writer in she Free Press, who has drawn upon his fancy for his facts, and evidenotly regards the building uf the Intercolonial as one of the worst calamities which could befall the Dominion, and a special misforâ€" tune to Ontamo. But this admission that the people are by no means troubled, either by the selection of the route, the negociation of the loan, or the early commencement of the work, from one of its most earnest oppouâ€" ents, shows. conclusively that he at least is couvinced that the voice of the country i13 with the Government. It would be absurd to suppose that an expenditure of from sixteen to twenty‘ millions of dollars could be entered â€"upon by any Government without a strong popular remonstrance, were the object upon which it was about to be laid out considered undesirable by any large number of the peoâ€" ple; and though the Free Press has nothing to offer but bald assertion to prove that a mistake has been made in the choice of route, its admission as to the state of public feeling is sufficient to show, it it correctly represents that feeling, that the people are not dissatisâ€" fied with it. ; In another part of the same article occurs the tollowing : > % "It there are ‘ national objects‘ to be served by this extraordinary railway, let the nation pay for it as a whole, as they might for any other outlay of a precautionary or defensive kind, but to saddle the expense of these obâ€" jects upon Canada aloue, and especially upon Western Canadaâ€"which will pay threeâ€"fourths of the cost before it is over, and reap absoâ€" lutely none of the benefitâ€"is putting matters in a position so unsatisfictory thst one is really amused at the indifference which the people show towards it." , Will the Free Press tell us upon what auâ€" thority it basis its estimate that thirty or forty millions of dollars are to be * absolutely * sunk in the wilds of Nova Scotia and New " Brurswick ?"+ Who is itsengineer? Or does it really rate the intelligence of Ontario so poorly as to suppose that its own rewders will believe the absurd and ridiculous asserâ€" tion? â€" This striking wildly without facts, or the shadow of facts, to sustain one‘s stateâ€" ments,is calculated to expose even a good cause to jeopardy, but when put forward in opposiâ€" tion to the most elaborate engineering reports, and against the best judgment of men whose duty it was to master the subject, and whose reputations are staked upon the wiedom of their choice, the * tailâ€"lashing‘‘ of the Free Press becomes simply novsensiâ€" cal. If the Free Press would favor us with any reliable authority for its figures, we should be prepared to give its objections to the route every reasonable attention ; but until it can establish tkeir correctness it wou‘!d be a mere waste of space to follow it through all its hapâ€"hazard assertions. Witrau reference to a paragraph which ap. peared in our local columns on the 6th inst., relative to the departure of two companies of the P.C. 0. Rifle Brigade for Cobourg, wc\ regret to find that the badinage of our reporter has been misinterpreted by the officers and men of the brigade. What was intended was merely to warn the girls of the folly of runâ€" ning after the soldiers, but wo believe that our military friends have got it into their heads that our reporter had cast.reflections on their honor and gallaniry. The paragraph alluded to would not fairly bear such a construction; and with respect to the P. C. O. Rifle Brigade, we‘ are happy to say, that the honorable character they have earned elsewbere has been â€" nobly â€" sustained during their stay in Ottawa. But the soldiers of the Brigade bave felt, as other soldiers feel, that the atientions of the fair sex are someâ€" times unduly pressed upon them, and it was with the view of preventing a repetition of ‘ this chat our reporter relerred with some sarâ€" casm to the scenes presumed: to have been enacted on the departure of the two comâ€" panies in question the other morning. We have reason to believe, however, that the acâ€" count we had received (at second hand) was considerably exaggerated, and that no un~ foriunates followed the companies to the staâ€" tion. The P. C. O. Rifle Brigade, officers aud men, have enjoyed to alarge ‘degree the confilence and respect of the citizens of Ortawa, and if our reporter has felt comâ€" pelled to alludeto their unbounded popuâ€" larity among the " weaker vessels" of our population, it has only been with the desire of guarding the latter against temptation ; aud without the remotest intention of casting any reflection on the Brigade. Moxtazsiar, the city ofthe fire alarm and two fire marshals, is not exempt from incendiary fires, if we can believe the following statement of the Gazette, which as a matter of course we have no reason to doubt : «" During the past three months there have been no less than thirtyâ€"seven incendiary fires in this city, thirtyâ€"four of them having been in hayâ€"lofts and stables." We wonder whether the Globe or the Hon. Gzonas Bxows will be able to appreciate the following "puff" from a Montreal journal : "The Globe, which speaks the sentiments of the Hon. George Brown, contends that Onâ€" tario made a capital bargain out of Confederaâ€" tion, and that, even if he blundered when be entered the Coalition, he indirectly served his own Province so effectively that his errors redound to his credit. It frankly says that he despaired of carrying repiesentation by popuâ€" lation in the old House, but he aucceeded by a side wind." This is certainly worss than Ottawaâ€"with its horseâ€"cartâ€"andâ€"puncheon water works sysâ€" tem, no firs alarm, very little engine, and a willing brigade. t â€"Arrea more than a yea‘s cogitation Mr. B.

Gonzales Bravoimiâ€" tated him in deporting to the Canarics half the generals of the army, and even banishing the seemingly inoffensive Duc de Mon:ponsier and his wife, the sistsr of the Queen. The general discontent with all government which is felt in Spain has boen thus farther aggraraâ€" ted by the peculiar unpopularity of this uaâ€" lucky man, on whom the mantle of Narvaes had fallen, without the prestige, the power, the ability of this unscrupulousâ€"soldier to enâ€" able him to wear it. To this disgust of all govommen{’, to this isolated and forsaken position of the present Prime Minister in Spain, we fear wo must aid that thero has been andther cause long at work, not only in tavor of any attempt at revolotion but suffiâ€" clent to place in peril the throne of Isabclla 1I. We do not wish toinquire too deeply into the delicate question of the reason why so. many Spaniards are disconterted with their sovereign, and lare come to view her no longer through that halo of romantic loyalty which invested the biave girl for whom, in olden times of Carlist wars, they willinely shed thsir blood. Some part of this revulâ€" sion of feeling has been caused by the disapâ€" pointment of all the hopes of freedom aud constitutional gorernmént which was held out when the Caugkter of Ferdinand VII. asâ€" cended the thrones, and to the long military misrule which has afflicted Spain. Tas Carapiax Poxtirican Zovarss.â€"A reâ€" ceut letter from Rome says that a party of Canadian Zouares bad marched 75 miles in five days, carrying full field equipments ; that Zouave Tetu, of Quebec, had been promoted to the rank of Corporal ; and Schiller and Leâ€" blanc, of Montreal, made LAnceâ€"Oorporals. The Zouaves shortly expected to be brought intoactive service. A large number of susâ€" picious persons had appeared on the frentier, and reinforcements had been called for. . _ Laros Farus.â€"Ths attontion of agricultarâ€" ists is being turned to the acquisition of large tracts of land in order to carry on farming operations on an extensive scale. Two wealthy, enterprising gentiemen, at Harrison cousty, Ohio, have purchased a township six miles square in Nebraska of government land, and propose to convert the whole into one grand farm of 23,040 acres. They intend to inclose it with a hodgr of osage orange 24 miles in extent, and will ‘put up cross hedges 12 miles in longth. They will hire all their labour, and use the most improved agriculâ€" tural machinery, intsndicg to put the whole farm Into whesat as fast as possible. It will require 20,000 bushels for the seed of such a farm. A colony is also bsing formed in Chicago under Mr. Amos Duffield, for the purâ€" chaso of anothor township of Nebraska for the same purpos«. Tus Nayy axo Arx«y or Sears.â€"The nary of Spain, which has joined the insargonts, though not as large as might be expscted, is an importaut addition to the strength of the revoiutionists. According to the latest offiâ€" cial roturas publish&.l last year, the Spanish nary, at the end of the year 186§, consisted of a total of 118 vessels, having an armament of 1071 guns. O( these, 20 were ships of the firstâ€"class, 18 of the secondâ€"class, 54 of the thirdâ€"class, 18 of smaller dimensions, and 8 not classified ; the whole uuimber includiag several then building. â€"Most of these vessols aro steamers, and of the fourthâ€"class 14 are wronâ€"clad frigates, carrying among them 161 guos. In the same class there are 11 scrow frigates, carrying 461 guns in all. ‘The whole are mannod by a force of 14,680 sailors, and 7,980 marines, with 1,121 officers of all ranks. The latest official returns giving the strength of the Spanish army are of no later date thar 1863, in which year the entire military force of the kingdom amounted to a ¢total of 234,â€" 261 meo, rank and file, and officers, the former being 227,098, and the latter 9.203. |This total includes the Provincial Militia ?d the National Guards, which, deducted from the whole, will leave the regulararmy at the figure of about 195,000 men. Of theso 164,000 arsinâ€" ’ fantry, 17,000 cavalry, and the remainder artillery and engincers. At the death of Ferâ€" dinand V {I., 1833, the military force of Spain consisted of only 60,000 men and 8,000 horses, but in 1859, when war with Morocco wa«about to be undertaken, it was increased to 250,000 men, and at present it is nearly three times as large as it was 35 years ago. A large part of the army is stationed in Cubs and the Philippine Islands, the nuumber of soldiers in the former colony alone being about oneâ€"fith of the entire military force of Spain. { A Roxaxtic Law Cass.â€"The courts of law will in all probability be occupied early in the ensuing session with one of those remarkâ€" able cases which so often occur in romances, and so seldom in real lifo. It appears that about one hundred and twonty years ago a large estate close to one of the most imporâ€" tant of English manufacturing towns was in the possession of the greatâ€"grandfathor of the parties to the present litigation. Since that time the land has been built upon to a great extent, and now forms the most wealthy subâ€" urb of the town in question. At the death of the owner, the eldest son finding that there was no will, naturally claimed the estate. The children of a second marriage, however, who had never lived on good terms with their half brother, protested against his title, on the grourd that his parents bad nover married, and that he was consequently illegitimate. It seemed at first that there was no ground for this statement. ‘The parents hadalways been received in society, and uo one had ever heard of any scandal in connection with them. On making inquiry, it was, however, found imâ€" possible to discover any trace of the marriage, and the eldest son was forced to submit, and to leave the home he had always considered his own without & shilling. He went into town, and embarked in trade, apparently with. out much success, for his grandson at the preâ€" gent time is!a shoemaker in a back street, and in a very small way of business. ‘The tradition of the lost estate has, however, always boen preserved, and some time since this descondant of the eldest son recommenced the search for proof of the marriage in question. After much trouble, he succeeded in getting at the coples of the registers which are presorved in the Chancery at Chester, and there, in the index, he discovered, somewhat earlier than was exâ€" pected, the namo of the original possessor of the estate and his first wife. . There was, howâ€" ever, no such entry in the body ot the book. At last, however, on going through it for the last time, it was discovered that two leaves had been tastened together, and on their being separated a copy of the entry of the marriage from the books of a Manchester church was duly found. On roferring back to the church itsâ€"If the book was produced, but the entry was not there. Further examination showed, however, that this book had also been tamperâ€" ed with, but in a different wayâ€"â€"sa leat had been cut out with scissors, and the marks were even then distinotly visible. On these facts the action will be brought, and when it is reâ€" membered that the present family have been in possession for nearly a centary, and that they aro highly respected, and their members married amongst the wealthiest people in the county, it may readily be imagined that the matter is creating a good deal of interest. The value of the property at stake is between one and two hundred thousand pounds.â€"ZLondon Correspondent of the Western Morning News.
