It was his daughter’s wedding day; crowds of her young so quaiutances circled round her, and as the father gazed proudly on the y \ung bride, he wished as bright a prospect might open! for his other children who were gamboling § . merrily among the crowd. Passing throughl , the passage connecting the lower ro ms he ' met the servant maid, an ignorant country wench, who was carrying a lighted tallow vandte in her hand without a candlemick tie blamed her for this dirty conduct, and ‘ .sent into the kitchen to make arrangements ! with his wife about the SUpper table; the ; t :irl shortly returned with her arms tull 01 i de boztles, but without the candle. The ', merchant immediately recollected that sere- l ral barrels of gun-powder had been placed in his cellar during the day, and that his foreman had opened one of the barrtls to select a sample for a customer. ‘Where is your candle ?' he inquired in the utmOst . agitazion. ‘I couldn't bring it up with me, l for my hands were full,’ said the girl.-â€"-l ‘Where did you leave it?’ ‘Wsll, l’d no candlestick, so I stuck it it some black sand that’s there in one of the tubs.’ The merchant dashed down the cellar steps; the passage was long and dark, and as he gropcd his way on, his knees threatened t0 give way under him, his breath was choked, and his flesh seemed suddenly to become dry and parched, asif he already felt the sulfUCallllg blast of death.

This night seemed to wither all his powers, and the merry laugh of the youngsters-above struck upon his heart like a well of death. He stood for some mo- ments unable to advance. The fiddler :ommenced a lively jig, and the feet of the dancers reSpoaded with increased vivacity ; the' floor shook. with‘their exertions, and the loose bottles in the cellar jingled with l the motion.

She showed only one bright light at 1.: rmasthead. No other lights were visible in the cabin or about the decks. She had three 138?”, and was square rigged forward, with topsail yards. To all appearances, the steamer was in good condition, and bore no \cvi- «lence of having met with any disaster- Captain llotln es stated that he gassed near enough to receive any communica tion if it had been desired, and heard steam escaping. A report was current here that the steamer seen was the missing City of Boston, and the agent of the Companij in this city is of this opinion. It may have been as the description given cor responds to her rigging, Gee. ; but there is also considerable doubt, as the captain did not observe her very particularly, and the general appearance of the steamer was like others employed in the Atlantic trade. The steamer seen was alsobendiug in an opposite direction from that the City of Boston would have taken on her voyage. It is possibie it may have been her, and that she had lost her rudder, or been injured in her machinery, which would account for her temporary amp- page in mid-ocean.

But an hour after Johnny came running in and declared the Prince was “real nice, though they tried to prevent. my seeing him. \Ve had a long talk, and I told him all about mother, where we live, and ever so much.” “So you saw hint ‘did you. ’ well, what did he say?

QIst, brings the stuffing new : Major Boulton and Dr. Schultz, after concentrating and occupying the lower stone fort, moved on towards Fort. Garry with a force of nearly 200 Canadians, English and hnlfvbreeds. Not being strong enough to attack Fort Garry, they hilleted themselves near by, Riel collected about 500 men to at- tack them ; but finding that little resist- ance was to be eXpected from the settlers, Major Boulton with 57 of his Portage Canadians surrendered to a force of Riel‘s. They were marched to Fort Garry, while the others, tméer Schultz retreat- ed to the stone fort. On the 19th Riel despatchcd 100 arm- ed men to attack Schultz.

They arel lemployed by hundreds on'- railways and‘i ‘othcr such works, and are rapidly taking the place of the Irish and‘ Ger- mans as laborers all over the West. It is said that the Caucasians are in great distress in consequence, and that they are determined to put. an end to , competition in the labor market, by l drivingthe Chinese from the country: It will be remembered that a rising of this kind took place in Australia a few years ago, when the Chin amen were killed ofi'like sheep. It is to be hoped, however, that the outrage will not be repeated in California. We cannot be- lieve that the Irish laborers would be 1 guilty of such a crime. They may 5 have set the rumor afloat merely for the purpose of frightening the Chinamcn ; but that they intend massacreing the unfortunate Celestials is hardly prob-’ able. At all events the authorities are fully forewarned, and are taking steps to protect the Chinese.

Sir Francis Hineks and Sir Joke A. M acdonaid depl’eeat‘ed pressing the mo- tion, and the Government; would submit its policy in due course. The Hon.

Mr. McCallum attacked the Depart- ment of Public Works for not com-pluto- iug the Welland Canal. Hon.
