The HWalilax papers state that this catch is entirely due to the system of prowcting the. Canadian fishâ€" eries inagugurated this year by the Doâ€" minim <government. . The spawning grounds used to be visited by the Amerâ€" ican fishermen in large numbers, and they invariably did enormous damage.

This was done at the earliest moment posâ€" sible, and before any hostilities had 00â€" curved. _ Will the victor, when the struggle is ended, follow the example of the United = Un to Richmond" fever. Horace Greeley with all his assumed philanthopy, seems to be an inditdual of sanguinary proclivi tigs, who snilfls the: battle from afar. Already he is loudly demanding what the Prussian tropps are doing ; war" has been declared for a fortnight, and yet no battle has been fought. @On to Paris‘‘ shouts Greeloy excitediy, so Bismarck had better take heed, or perhaps the Tribunae will side with Frautcee, and then what chance will: Prusaina have | ‘The war in Europe is naturally the great subject which now attracts the largest amount of public interest, and the quesâ€" tion as to whether Great Britain will or will not be involved in the struggle is the point which most nearly concerns us. It is easy to see that even if she were not bound by treaty arrangements to defend Belgium against aggression, sho could not from motives of policy quistly stand by, and see the long coast line and important sea ports of that country annexed by a formidable neighbor without making an eJort to prevent it. But beyond this we cannot see that Great Britain has much interest in the struggle. Any complicw tions which might threaten the integrity of the Turkish Empire, and so endanger the ropad to India might indeed call for her interterence, but whether France extends the South German States or not, w not of much consequence to the people of the Mother Country, The aftairsof Europe have long ceased to engross their attention as _ once ° they . did, : from the simple fact that thgir _ interests are more immediately assogiated with the progress of events upon the continents of Ania and America.. _ It has been said, and possibly with some truth, that the people of the United Kingdom need a war now and then to distract their attention from the race for wealth and commercial supreâ€" macy in which they are so constantly enâ€" grossed, and to keep alive within them those more lofty and ennobling sentiments, which are apt. to dwindle and become dorâ€" maht after years of uninterupted prosper lty. . Btill no subject of the Empire or triend of Great Britain, can d mire to see States, and a«k: Great Britain to pay half th« expense of the war in consequence? Nine years‘ago the New York Tribune suttered from what was known as the §" AND ITS EFFECTS OX THE" WAR e vs her engaged in a purposeless war when neither her honour uflm-?-o threatened, merely for tho sake of arousâ€" ing within the breasts of her sons.a love for martial glory and di tinction. 1t.is naâ€" tural, indeed, that at a time like the presâ€" ent, when we henr of other great powers marshalling their hosts, we should recall the memory of those days when Britain battled .so . bravely â€"and so successfully againat such overwhelming odds, q won for herself a reputation, as the miatress of the sea‘and one of the foremonst of military powers. But the fume of Eng land i« too widely known, the courage of her sons has been too decisively proved on too many battle felds, to render it neces sary for her now to rush into war for the aake of showing what she can accomplish. We must remember that . war would bring misery and heartbreaking to many a beâ€" reaved family, much commercial distréss, and a heavy burden of debt; so that, alâ€" though we would be sorry to see the honour of the Empire tarnished, or the courage of Englishmen questioned in consequence of their avoidaunce of war when war ssemed really necessary for the maintenance of her honour, we should regret her being inâ€" volved in a strife which could possibly be honourably avoided. Americans may asneer and try to impress the wortld with the idea that the people of Great Britain have no longer either the will orthe power to ow cupy . a â€" prominent â€"position . samong leading European nations, but this is because they â€" do _ not underâ€" stand _ their _ character . or _ the Intent fires of patriotism which stil} burn w.thin their breasts. Dr. Chapin, the celeâ€" brated clergyman and orator, in the course of his leo ure on England ~#ays: "The Â¥nglish people seem to be entirely enâ€" grossed in commercial pursuits, but let their feelings be aroused and the national honog threatened, and all ranks and par, tics become fused together in one glow. ing mass of red hot patriotism." Thr Ottaiwa Cunes. @r Wa hare said that the afthirs of Asia and Amesica are really more important to ireat, Britain than those‘of Europe, and it must, wo should imagine, be quite abvious to anyone that this is really the case. ‘The more British statesmen bec®ime ammmuu-.-m.mu., determine to avoid all entangloment in Enropean complications, the better for us in Canadu, We mmhr-...,m mont from a sellish local standpommt when Majagty s Theatreâ€"W.

The present moment is an important one for Great Britain, because im all human probability the future destiâ€" nies of that Empire of which she is the head, depend upon the sourse which ber statesmen now pursue: The Mother Country now contains as large a populs tion as can well be supported by her, Every year a number of the inhalitants, amounting to several thousands, have to leave their native land and find a home somewhere. As ‘we have before pointed out, the question as to whether m their children remain British or foreigners, is one which the Impeorial| Govâ€" ernment and the people of Great Britain have now to decide. This is a matter which is indeed worthy the attention of statesmen, for on it depends the fate of an Empire ‘and the destiny of â€" untold millions. Compared with it, the questions which now agitate Europe seem trivial .and insignifiâ€" There are fow pleasanter summer trips upon this continent than a sail on Lake Champlain, with the wooded shores of V erâ€" mont bounding the view on the one hand, while the Adirondacks tower up in lordly grandeur upon the other. Seated on the deck of a faat steamer, and rapidly Hoating among this lovely scenery, all that is need. ed in order to render the royage delight ful is pleasant companionship, and a gom tleman who has lately returned from New York by way of Lake Champlain, related an incident which occurred during the trip, which shows the kind of socliety ons is apt to meet with, and at the same time Mlustrates in a very forcible manner that glorious spirit of equality which relgna in a demooratic country. The boat stopped 4t one of the landings, and a man of fair ap. pearance, clad in new and wellâ€"fitting garâ€" deference. The American passongers eyed him with respectful admiration, a wuy was! â€"doluh-nndhn..nm:fio upper deck, where among the and the clite of the male passengers am ensy chair was provided upon which he lasily roâ€" elined. _A cigar of the choicest brand was brought and hamded to him by an obâ€" sequious attendant, and having lit it, the mysterious stranger throw himself back at his ease, and seemed disposed to enjoy the dolce far niente of that swoet summer‘s day to his heart‘s content. *Ob" mt the English passengers on board * this must be some distinguished soldier or statesâ€" [-ntowha.uunbul-fi-h'fl. and for whom the best seat upon deck in thus reserved." ‘The stranger wots no uniform, no glittering star or shoulderâ€" atrap searved to aftord any indiestion as to his rank, but as our friends gazsed upon him, they suddenly became aware that a amall steel chain of exquisite workmanship was attached to <his legs, and preâ€" vented hbim from indulging in any violent exercise. While they wore won dering what this might mean the dinner gong sounded, and with the usual des porate energy of American travellets on auch oeccasions, a violent rush was made for the dining saloon. Still â€"even at that tremendous moment, the rules of stiquette waere not entirely forgotten. A sest was reservel upon the right hand of the eaptain, and to it the gentleman with the ahuin was escorted. For him the most deliâ€" eate viands were proviled, for him the mostfdelicious wines were poured, and round him, the convicted forger, for such he was, obsequious waiters clustered, anxious, as it appeared, to prove that wslhm‘uu-dm“qo tinm, the shape of law still existed in the free and glorious Republic, the Ameriâ€" ecan public sympathised with him in his misfortune, and aimired the daring * goâ€" ahoaditivenesa‘" of the man, who had thus unhuppily become the victim of an old world prejudice not yot quite eradicated from the land,! If this is the way ctiminals flmywhml'mduq. if chained and comvicted telons are thus to be surprised to ind that crime is . on the increase, and that the laws of the land are so universally defied.

At Paris the banks of the river are very much higher, and the view is exceedingly picturesque. The numerous bridges, the petite canals, and the priottiness of aspect, would almost lead one to suspect that the river was the Seine and that the! church of Notre Dame and the palace of the Tuilleries in miniature were not far distant, never suspecting that the place, in all probability, derived its name from some deceased miller, whose surname was the same as that of one of the herovs of the Ilad, who was slightly acâ€" quainted with a gentleman named Priam, and had had/an introduction to the Lad Melen of Troy. There is a beautiful rn{ way bridge over the river here, and a thrivâ€" ing business done in fypum, which grows hereabouts, while there are mills of | all _ kinds, â€" innumerable churches, anil any number of intimations | that "Cash is Paid for Wheat" upon the walls of great storehouses for grain. Brantâ€" ford, the greater business town of the two, and only seven mules distant, was soon reached. _ This fine town is at the head of ‘steamboat navigation, the river being damed all the way from Lake Erie to | make it so far navigable, and the dams be: | ing consequently made available for mills | to a great distance. The excellence of the | country around was strikingly nfigmnt. There were at Brantford nfi:.o{ th enâ€" terprise and wealth, and, by the railâ€" road track, was a cemetery tastefully laid out, while not far from the "city of siâ€" lence" were beautiful private residences for those whose tongues yet wag, and who On the Carsâ€"G>ing to the West ‘. luxuriate in purple and fine linen on the with f Erength of the fHour, iron, agricultural im a%'% lements, stone ware, steam engines, and i ies . {:'m"“" which they |manufacture. ~ But © Sure ©ngup Nes uk 3 Bd the train : does not stop very long at | Cambrig, &Gh.lo'm "M':‘ Brantford, . and is again soon _ in | sh P~. glidgd a elier 3 ky motion, '?nning through .
