“ The beginning of the week, I hope, Arthur.

The two chil- , dren ran down to shake hands with Thomas Harding, who was in the dining room with Mr. Serle, swallowing some hasty refresh- ment. The chaise, with its fresh horses, : drove to the door, and Mrs. Danesbury enter- ed it, scarcely giving time for the step to be lowered. Thomas Harding prepared to mount to the seat in front; the dicky, as it ‘ was called in those days. A- A ‘ ‘- He stood m the middle of it, his hat in his hand.

Ills glory obscured that ol 3 all the army, and he obtained a prolonged ovation. The trumpeter belongs to the Bour- hon regiment; he is only fourteen years of age, and is of short stature. then in A’rica, whilst in the advanced post with his com- , any, he happened one day to be excessively angry, and he could not get any food. At last he perceived a number of oak trees, and said to himself, “ Where there are oak trees there are acorns, and acorns at a pitch can be eaten!” He accordingly slipped away, and passing unobserved by the sentinels, climbed up the tree and began eating. He was sud- denly interrupted by a strange noise, and to his dismay he perceived that the tree was surrounded by ferocious-looking Moors.â€" Flight was impossible, and resistance out of the question, but a bright idea -ck himâ€" he seized his trumpet and sounded the charge. The Moors, thinking that they had fallen into an ambush, took to flight. This exploit of trumpeter excited great admiration at the time, and on the entrance of the troops the crowds not only greeted him with enthu- siasm, but he was borne in triumph on men’s shoulders and crowned with laurels! From time to time, at the request of the people, he sounded the charge which struck terror into the breasts of the Moors. Professor Bartlett’s theory for the explana- ‘tion of this phenomenon is as folio A's :â€"These bodies are of the nature of planets, and circu- late about the sun in orbits as unerring as their large brethen. W'hen they and the earth come simultaneously to those points of their orbits which are nearest together, the action of the earth often becomes superior to the sun, and the small masses are drawn to its surface. Plunging with enormous veloci- ty into our atmosphere, these little bodies compress the air in front, and rub against it with such violence on the sides. as to pro- duce heat enought to fuse, and light sufiicent to illuminate the most refactmy and darkest .of substances- The ex_erio_r and molten crust is swept to the rear by the resisting air; a surface is formed; this in its turn is fused and carried backward, and so on, till finally the whole track of the meteor is strewn with groups of disintegrated and scintillating ma- serial.

THOMAS SELLAR, THE STANDARD. His R. H. the Prince of lVales arrived at Quebec on the 18th; and never before has any event occured which created such uni- versal enthusiasm in its inhabitants. The numberless flags, arches, 820., erected for the occasion, presented a most picturesque ap- pearance. In the evening all the principal buildings were brilliantly illuminated. Among- the many visitors on the occasion were Admiral Sir Alex, Milne, Lord Lyons, British Ambassador at Washington, and Earl Mnlgrave, Lieut. Governor of Nova Scotia.â€" The latter gentleman, we learn, has intentions of becoming the next Governor General of Canada. The address of the citizens of Quebec to the Prince was read in French and English, to which he replied as follows : “Gentlemenâ€"it is with no ordinary feel- ings of gratification and interest in all around me that I find myself for the first time on the shores of Canada, and within the precincts of this its most ancient city. I am deeply touched by the cordiality with which I have been welcomed by the inhabitants. Fonthei Address which you have just presented to me I beg you to accept the hearty thanks which in the name of the Queen I offer to you. Be assured that her Majesty will receive with no little satisfaction the account of my reception amongst you, proving, as it does, that her feelirtgs’towards the peeple are met on their part in the most devoted and loyal attachâ€" ment to herself, her throne, and her family.â€" Still more will she rejoice to hear from your own lips that all differences of origin, lan- guage and religion are lost in one universal spirit of patriotism, and that all classes are % knit to each other and the mother country by the common ties of equal liberty and free in- stitutions. For myself, I will add that I shall ever take a deep concern in all that tends to promote the prosperity of this beautiful and - ,.. : ' . a) intercstng ext) . The Mayor then called for three cheers for His Royal Highness the Prince of \Vales,and they were Instily given, at least by those in the vicinity ofthe Prince. The unbounded love everywhere manifest- ed for the young Prince, is so great, that we expect immediate Federation of all the Britâ€" ish American Provinces, with his Royal Highness as Viceroy. Such a step is prob- able, and, taking the future welfare of Cana- da into consideration, is worthy of serious and earnest attention. On Thursday night,16th inst., a man named Lawrence Dunn was killed by falling from the veranda roof on the south end of the Brit- ish Hotel. Durham. Deceasedzarrived here that evening from Montreal, where his family reside, and was about to re-enter the employ- ment of Mr. Rowswell,of Glenelg, as a pearl- ash maker. Between nine and ten o’clock deceased, in company with another man who was traveling, retired for the night to a room in the third story. From the evidence of the \ latter person, it appears deceased spent some ‘ time in devotional exercises previous to retir-‘ ing; and during which he appeared somewhat excited, making frequent expressions of“No, nolnoI won’t,” 810. About an hour after- wards the landlord conducted a third person to the same room, when the two former ap- peared to be asleep. A very short time after this, deceased arose, and partially dressed himself, when he must hate hoisted the win- dow, and crawled out to the veranda roof, which is on a level with the window-sill. Members of the Press throughout Upper Cana- ‘. are respectfully requested to attend. W GILLESPY. Secret try. Hamilton, Aug. 16, 1860. The person who retired with deceased was awoke by the crash of a falling window. At this moment the landlord and a gentleman who was conversing with him in the bar-room, heard a tremendous crash outside, but on ox-i amination could not discover any cause, the night being very dark. The young man who was awoke by the fall of the window, on hearing voices outside, supposed the noise had proceeded from some other quarter, and gave himself no further trouble. About an hour later he was discovered by some personrwbo were going home from a Concert The left side 01 the skullwas shattered in a fright‘l'ul manner. An inquest was held on the follow- ing day by Dr. Crawford, Coroner, when the jury returned a verdrctot‘ “accidental death.” ; The real cause will ever rennin a mystery to SIIOEESING OCCURRENCE. DURHAM. AUGUST 24, 1860. N EW YORK, Aug. 18. President. THE DURHAM STANDARD, DURHAM, AUGUST 24, 1860 us. It is supposed by manyihat he was in a state of somnambulism. .It is evident he didnot remain long «on the roof, for the per- son who was awoke by the fall of the Win- dow had scarcely recovered consciousness, when he heard the landlord outside, who had been attractedhy the fall. Since this individual has usurped the edito- rial chair in Mount Forest, he has labored hard to establish for himself a literary cha- racter. Were these endeavors directed in a proper course, we might sympathize with him in his needful eflorts ; but when he tries to do so at our expense, we _will take the trouble to “ shew him up ”â€"using a common phraseâ€"to our numerous readers in Mount Forest, that they may know what the abilities are of this boasting ignoramus. In his issue ofthe lst inst.,under the heading of“ The end of the libelcase,” we find two Adjectives used instead rf Adverbs; two very important words omitted ; an Adjective in place of aNoun ; and ambiguity, bad arrange- ment, Sun, sufficient to raise Cobbett’s g Qst. In his issue of the‘Sth inst., there are 0 a few editorial paragraphs; consequently, no room for mistakes. In his last issue, under the heading of “Mount Forest Mechanics’ Institute,” we find t 1e following Literary Gems . ‘ ‘ ‘ and “e have a strong confidence that the enâ€" ergy which the members of our little society have so strikingly manifested in the n anage- ment of their other undertakings, will not be 1 found wanting to this endeavour to provide for their intellectual and educational (txso sy non- yms.â€"ED.) advancement. In all parts of the province, but more especially in the re- cently settled parts of it, such as our own, there IS a large proportion of young men, whom the pressure of circumstances attend mg a first settlement in the bush : and the ne- cessity for making the manual labour of eve- ry member ofthe family available as far as possible at the first start, together with the difficulty of providing for efficient school in- struction at the first start of settlement, have prevented from devoting that attentien to mental culture which they would have desir- ed : to these Mechanics’ Institutes afford an opportunity of obtaining that information and those educational advantages from which their situation had precluded them in earlier life.” No doubt, dear reader, you are out of? breath, reading the above bungling sentence, I and disgusted with the grammatical errors i it contains, which would disgrace a schoolboy ‘ often years of age. We would advise Green- ban to avail himselfof the services of the vil- lage school teacher, to learn grammar, and by use of the rod, to learn good manners. Again, on the same subject, he says: ‘ ’ .9 “their utility has been so fullypteaqd‘ and their advantag s are so thoroughly ap- preciated where they have been carried into successful operation,” c. In the next 'par- [aeraph he says: “ Mary who at the present 5 day occupy prominent and useful positions in society have owed their advancement, ’ ‘ to Withdraw them from the temptation [what temptation ?-â€"ED.] to more questionable modes cf relaxation.” The parenthesis, brackets, and italics, are our own. We have only three copies of those preci- ous documents in our possession, and no doubt have missed much of the “cream of literature.” In the above article this “ daw in borrowed feathers” again uses an adjective instead of an adverb. The ungrammatical manner in which moods and tenses are distorted in the above extracts, proclaim the abilities of the writer, without any comment of ours. The Illustrious blunderer made an import- ant discovery in a former issue of the STAND- ARD, that 3. letters had been omitted in a word, and that the initials M. D. had been superfluously attached to a name, in a hur- riedly written article, and as hurriedly put into type. Our devil generously offers to teach Green- ham the rules of punctuation, gratis ; but his majesty has no hope of being able to make a a decent man of him. The refined taste of this would-be author is strikinglyilluétmted by his choice ofwords. We beg leave of our readers to extract a few of-them, as follows :--“ prigging, doltish, waspish, hardened sinner,” and the cant, worn out expression of “miserable rag.”â€" He lately obtained possession of the word immaculate, which he uses with tremendous effect. We cannot, thh a due regard to self-re- spect, reply ti) the low-bred sarcasms which have been directed against us from time to time by this ignorant impostor. We have intruded farther on the public with this matter, than at first intended ; but when we discover hypocritical villainy, whether in the editorial chair, or as a pillar in the church, we leel it to he an incumbent duty to exPose it. The Durham Standard, in speaking of the Mount Forest Eapress, a paper lately started on the independent ticket, has the following sensible remarks :--“It purports to be neutral in politics, which we take for granted to be anything and nothing at all. This is not the age in which a journalist, to be useful can roccnpy such a position ; indeed we look 11 n such papers as a public nuisance. We ad rather read a paper that openly advocates lplfindering the public chest, to one that looks I ion independently and says nothing.” [11%The Berlin Telegraph, quoting our remarks on the Mount Forest Empress, we- faces as follows: hHey, 0M ’omm Greenham, how do you like ‘ at.

The voluntary system is not well understood and seldom adopted.â€" When it is rightly carried out, it works har- moniously, and the people are at peace amongst themselves. ‘Two, of the three schools which have acted on the voluntary system are but small in extent and few in number, yet the average is good 'as they have taken a fair proportion of the school fund.”â€" Surely here is a. fund of argument in a few words: why not at once abolish the mis- called ‘free system?’ ‘ 1‘24 “ The inhabitants of this oountry are a peaceable, intelligent and lawbidding peo- ple, and capable, as all men of knowledge are, of making a great allowance for the prejudices and ignorance of those who differ from them on many subjects; but there is one subject,â€"I mean our school system,â€"so entwined in the feelings, that to approach it with any other intentions than respect and toleration, would raise a storm of indignation not easily withstood by the offending party.” 125 ‘v‘ ’ ‘ " - ’ ’ a system which gains all but univeral approval.” If you can make the people believe it. The manner in \mhthe so called ‘ system of free schools,’ ‘itbe imposition of an annual rate upon all the inhabitants of a school section according to property,’ and the ‘nobie system,in general, operate and ‘tend to promote that unity and mu tual affection’ of the people, and to put an end to ‘ disputes and divisions ? among them.) is surely vividly enough portrayed in theé above ‘extraEts ’ And now, sir, you must understand that during the display of the beauty and utility, and the harmonious working of this ‘noble system,’ which has gained ‘all but universal approval;’ and notwithstanding the facrlities all'orded to all the children to attend the schools, a very large No. of them have actually not attended. And the fact being undeniable by the advo- cates of the ‘ system ;’ and the cause thereof 7heing, of course, unattributable to the ‘ system,’ it has been a very in teresting problem among them how best to account for snob non-attendance, and then to discover and apply a remedy. But, not to take anything upon trust, just please to loos both at their evidence of the fact, and their statements of the cause or causes of is ex- istence.

Lord Aylmer, whose-claim to be ranked among the Peers of Ireland was admitted by the House of Lords on Tuesday, 10th July, is the descendant and representative 01 that gallant Admiral the firstfi "J lmer, one of the heroes of the victory of ”a Hague, who ' was Governor of Greenwich Hospital, and whose portrait may still be seen among the illustrious men (lepicted in the Painted Hall of the Hospital. The first Lord Ay lmer was the Admiral who escorted George I. across the seas when he came to take possession of the Brrtish throne, and from that time to this the house of Aylmer has been constantly and most c1editably engaged in the naval and mil- itary service of this tcountry. It is a family as ancient as it is honourable, and has been highly respected Wherever it resided, and 85- 1 pecially at Greenwich, where it had its abode for many years.

We fancy the weaning process would be accomplished without mus- tard. We let the Governor tell his own story :â€" “Governor Crandall said he had been out west five years a (1 now had a farm of 1000 acres and edited a [aper called the Urbana Union; and no doubt his Canadian brethern would feel astonished that he did not cease from his labors in the sanctum when he had such a farm. He would explain this appar- ent contradiction by an anecdote: There once lived 1n his neiyvhborhood a 1n ry weal- tigy and hinhly respectable bacl: odor who had gained his position and wealth h) his ovm pe1severance. 'lhis bachelor at last concluded to man}, and mar" he did, :1 pesky. ugly, wizen-faced, dried up old maid, whose face was as wrinkled as the horn of a 20-year-old ‘ cow, and whose nus-e would make a first-rate onion-pealcr; the whole neigl‘iborhood was astonished as the prettiest and best would gladly have accepted him as her “leigc lord ;” a deputation waited on him to know what he meat't by his conduct, when he quietly told them that as Providence had a- bundantly blessed all his efforts through life, he had concluded that he required something to “mortify the flesh” or rather to wean his affections from the things of time in order that they might be fixed upon those of eter- nity. So the Governor said it was with him â€"-he had prospered and as he required a check similar to that spoken of by his bache- lor friend, he had concluded to start a weekly newspaper just to wean his affections from the things of time. Editors can appreciate the anecdote, although the publicâ€"the news- craving, everlastingly dissatisfied and grum- bling public cannot see the drift of itâ€"not they.” An Irish Peer Residentjn Canada.~ The Navarro (Texas) E179 Tess savs :â€"â€"“A coal- bed between Wild Cat Bluff, on the Trinity, and Mound Prairie, wl 1c h has been burning slowly for a number of years, has, during the present dry season, made wonder- ful progress, and 10 or 20 acres have been burned off, and the fire is still progressing rapidly Recently on a gentleman and lady riding near it, the horses: broke through the crust bof earth which covers the fire near the edge, and were severely burned before they could get out. The Great International Exhibi- tion. The second great International Industrial Exhibition in London seems'to be a settled matter. The Critic remarks on it :â€"“The guarantee fund for the International Exhibi- tion of 1862 subscribed now amounts to £335,- 300. It is understood that the royal commis- sioners for the exhibition of 1851 are willing to grant the use of a part of their estate at South Kensington for the exhibition, and that a portion of the buildings to be erected will be permanent, available for future exhibitions of art and industry.” Donald McKay writes to the Boston Com- mercial Bulletin some at the results of his observations in the British navy yards. The Government is now building 53 steam war vessels of various kinds, carrying'l,783 guns, or nearly as many as the whole United States navy. By the middle of next year, when the ships now on the stocks are completed, the British fleet will count 735 vessels, With 17,-- 099 guns, and 132,790 horse power, or about eight times as many guns as, our navy.

The Clerk demurred to taking so novel a signature, although the lady insisted on her right, having done her country more signal service during the war than half the isoldiers and ‘militiamen engaged in it. We i donot give the-venerable lady’s name as she lmight not like the notoriety; but we may. mention that she is the same person whose name is recorded in the history of the late war as having" observed the advance of Boer- stlers American army towards the Beaver Dams, and, the male portion of her family, being all away on duty, hastened on foot in the night, thrc ugh the woods and by-ways to the British'head-quarters, a distance of fifteen miles, and gave the information that led to the attack on Boerstler, and.’ the capture of himself and all [his forces, a peace of very important service at that time. We say that the brave loyal old lady ought not only to be allowed to sign the address, but she deserves a special introduction to the Prince of Wales, as a werthy example of the fire of 1812. when both men and women in Upper Canada vied alike in their resolution to defend the Country against the invading enemyâ€"Niagara [Mai].

Several buttons, bayonets, ep- paulets, were also found. One button had the initials of “Pennsylvania Rangers” on it ; another is marked “U. 8.3” another “8th Brit- ish Grenadiers.” A few American coins were also found.
