Pauperism in England. Spring Assizes. HQ.D.-â€"4 l In this country there is everv sign of a great demand for labor. The emi. lgrants who have arrived this spring ? have had no dificnlty in procuring em- irployment at more remuneratire wages .9 than they could obtain on the other side [of the border, even were they lucky : enough to obtain work. So few, in com. parison with the work to be done, are l the number of laborers in Toronto that lone railroad contractor has been com- :pelled to send an agent to Quebec to l engage them there as they arrive. Can. I ada being almost wholly devoted to ’ agricultural pursuits is not so liable as the United States to be affected by the periodical fluctations which from timei to time paralyze the labor market there. 4 The products of this country belong to the class of necessaries, the consumption l of which cannot be dispensed with ; l whereas the Eastern States, being prin ' cipally engaged in manufactures, are al- ways liable to depression of trade and l the other evils which so often afiect manufacturing districts. A manu- facturer when he thinks expedient may‘ at once dismiss his workmen and stag " eate employment of every kind, but the farmer has not equal power. Capital laid out in the culture of land cannot be hastily withdrawn without a ruinous sacrifice, and thus chiefly it comes that the demand for labor'is more stationary : in agricultural than in manufacturingl districts, in Canada than in the eastern l or civilized portion of the United States. l The Western Morning A'e'ws (Wales?) says that on the evening of April 13, there was washed ashore at Perranporth, a broken piece of teak wood about three feet long and about three or four inches wide. On one side it was painted blue and on the other was rudely inscribed, apparently with a knife or chisel, the following in Roman capitals :â€" it From all parts of the United States comes the cry of “hard times.” The Boston frmller of the 10th inst. says : “ Hundreds of men in this city are seek- “.ing in vain for employment. Although “ business is'tolerably good the work “ here is insufficient for the working- “mea.” New York, Philadelphia, Chi- cage, and all the principal cities and towns are overcrowded, and destitutian is unprocedentedly rife. The vast-num- bers of emigrants who are daily landing at New York and the thousands who in- tend to follow them during the summer would do well to keep this in mind.â€" The United States since the commence- ment. of the late war has been wholly unable to provide work for the laboring classes, and to this fact must be at- tributed in a great measure the rapid increase of crime and the horrible im- morality which prevails throughout the country. England is heavily afiieted ‘ with pauperism but she has poor olaws ! and charities which to some extent re ilieve the distress; whereas it is one of 'the “tallest” of many Yankee boasts 1 that the United States contains no poor houses or societies exclusively devoted Eto the relaef of the poorer classes. This 1, 1gnoring of the social rights of the poor Enecessarily leads to crime. If a man l has not the means of earning a liveli hood, and if society will not relieve him, TEbe must either starve or steal. Self- preservation will speedily overcome his respectâ€"if he ever had anyâ€"for civil ,institutions. and theft, or even murder, :with their penal consequences, will be 'preferred to a slow death by hunger. The date was variously read by persons who had seen it ; some considering that the two strokes after “Feb.” represent the Roman notation of two; while other persons held that they are Arabic numerals for eleven. Of the word “City” all had been broken away except the lower part of the letters 1‘ and Y. Be- neath the date is what looks like arude- ly formed capital M, which is supposed may be Ihe initial of the writer’s name. The board is much battered and saturat- ed. It appeared to have been in the water a considerable time, and was be- lieved to be a genuine seawaif. It re- mained in the possession of Mr. Hickey, of the coast-guard at Perranporth. Hen Muse/n THE ann.\' has so far come out of her long retirement as to open the new buildings of the London University, in State. we are informed by telegram that but little excitement was manifested by the general public, though the hall was filed by an enthu~ siestic audience. This is but to be ex- pected. The Londoners, whose interests are so nearly afl‘ected by royal pageantry, have been wearied with waiting, and sick with broken promises of State visits. The people made every allow- ance for their Sorereign’s grief; but at length they thought that royalty has its duties which must not be neglected, and they began to look to the Prince of Wales to supply the place of the retir- ‘ ed Queen. But let Her Majestyâ€"shav- l ing new broken the iceâ€"resume her Epublic duties, and' we predict the re- ' rival of the old enthusiasm that has al- E ways greeted her appearance in public. A Relic of the City of Boston. Three of the wives of men employed on the Cxty of Boston have consoled- themselves by remnrrying. If the sad story of the steamer’s loss should ever prove even partially false, how many aggravated cases of Enoch Arden we should have ! The indies of White Pine have adopt- ed the fashion of fainting at balls, and the News says they manage to be caught in the nick of time and by the right per- son. Cologne has been found suflioient to restore them. Den Morgan, while acting the lady in s set, the genuine article being short, fainted also, end was laid out on a bench. Cologne did no good in his case, however, and they had to have recourse to whiskey, which fetched him at once. TY OF BOSTON IS SINKIXG FEB 11 Hard Times. g The Session of Parliament, which i was brought to a close seven days since, has completed its official 1',ecord but 1:like a stone thrown upon a sheet of . water, it is not given to mortals to com- é prehend fully its effective force. It is l the duty of a statesman, as it is the du- ty of a driver of a steam locomotive, l to place before him a definite goal, but : neither the one nor the other can foresee l the possible contingencies which may i impede their progress and confound their plans. The legislation of this ses- sion has neither been remarkable for profuseness nor profundity. The num- ber of bills passed affords no evidence ‘ of the excelleney of the measures them- selves, but on the contrary, much speak- ing, as well as over legislation are gen- erally delusive when accepted as eviden- ces of usefulness. The session of which we are now Speaking, has not placed many measures upon the Statute Books. The principal public bills were those of the Finance Minister on Banks and the Tariff, of the Minister of Agriculture for taking the decennial Census, and of the Minister of Justice for the estab- lishing and governing the new Province of Manitobah. The first named, viz., on Banks and Banking, revit es the ex. piring charters, provides for the extri~ cation of the Government from financial bondage to the Bank of Montreal and admits several millions in the form of Dominion Notes into the cur- rcncy circulation without the payment of interest. The Banking Act of which we are speaking is not formed 3 upon any well understood principle of; banking, nor is it a copy of any modeli which exists. 1t 18 purely the creation of ci1cumstances and the offspring ofi compromise. The Banks desired renew als of the charters-all of which expir 1ed this year. They deprecated a re- inewal of the scheme submitted in the previous session by Mr. Rose, and were i a, nightly prepared to lend an attentive.- ear to any nlan which permitted them; to keep their bullion, even at the cost. of curtailing their circulation. The Government wanted more money. Sir? Francis Hineks managed to sczure that : object and to oht ain the eoncu rence of: all the Banks except it may he the‘l Bank of Montreal. The arrangementfi or compromise sanctioned by the LegisJ latnre, promises to be sufliciently elastic: to meet all the requirements of trade,§ and to assure the safety of depositors and note-holders. It is said that under the new form of return to he made, by; the Banking institutions, monthly, it, will heimpossible to conceal the true state of any Bank. In publicity there: is safety. 3 l l l l The Tariff Bill imposing a duty on: coal, breadstufi‘s, salt, c.. is indefensi~i ble from the stand point ofapproved po- i litical economy. But few of the Oppo-i nents of the measure, in Parliament,l however, were able to steer clear of thel haze that proceeds from sensitive pock-E ets. Ontario desires to protect its salt3 interest, but cannot acknowledge thei necessity for adding 50 cents per ton in l the shape of import duty to the cost of} American coal, in order, practically, to give a bounty to that troublesome little member of the Confederacy Nova Seo. tia. New Brunswick, which imports extensively of breadstufls from the United States, doesn’t exactly see the reason why a duty of 25 cents a barrel should be imposed on imported flour in order to recoup to the producers of On- , tari), at their expense, the contribution gmade by that Province to Nova Scotia in the shape of a bounty on coal. The ; Government claims that this is the foun- Eldation of a system of national policy. 5 We fail to see in it any hopeful sign.â€" I It will really benefit nobody, but it is iprobable that the producer of Ontario i may discover in the imposition of a du- ity on American grain, especially on 1corn, an increased demand, and conse- iquently a better price for their coarse grains, If, as has been sometimes said, there is a germ of goodness in things ievil, there may be some latent benefit I lurking in the recent tariE.. DURHAM CHRONICLE. The Act for the erection an'd'govern-' ment of the Province of Manitobah is, as far as the consequences of its opera- tions- are concerned, the most important of the Session. It provides that on the re-establishmcnt of the Queen’s authorio ty that a constitutional government, ac- cording to the sample presented by I the other Provinces of the Dominion, shall prevail. The measure is exceed. ingly liberal in its provisions. The lcg- ‘ islature compliments the new C‘elouistsl with poasess’ing a higher measure of in- l telligence than we have heretofore cred-l ited them with, but as those who now possess and desire to keep the land will 2' soon be in the minority, it fmay be uisei in the first instance, in providing for the} present to take into account also the not; distant future. The Province of Mani- i tobah includes the existing settlements: and though of smaller dimensions than? , appears to be necessary, it is contended ; ; that to extend its Boundaries, at present, l i would possibly lead to some altercation ! with Indian tribes, with whom treaties : should be first made. It is afiirmed by 9 those who are familiar with the settle. Ements to be included in the Province, ; that no sect or nationality can establish Easy ofi'ensive precedency within its ‘bounds. As originally mapped oat.â€" , excluding the settlement of Portage la ; Prairieâ€"it was feared that Popery and a mongrel nationality might talre firm ,root in that fair land, but in the fight THURSDAY, MAY 19,1870.

One million four hundred thousand acres of the land within the prOposed Province is reserved for the settlement of claims to be pre- ferred by persons being partly Indian, within the limits of the whole territory ceded by the Hudson’s Bay Company. The Dominion Government controls all the land except those portions retained by agreement for the Hudson’s Bay Company. It is proposed to adopt a liberal policy on behalf of present occu- pants and future settlers. The power retained by the Governor General in Council is a guarantee that the land policy will recognize that lesson of ex- perience which connects revenue with settlement. With increasing expendi- ture new sources of revenue must be utilized. The Parliamentary session just ended, has not been signalled by any remarkable display of ability. The legislation, though important, has been suggested by the current of events. The Government has at times shown signs of weakness, and some of its members, es- pecially during its closing days, acted very indisercetly. Reasonable men ap~ pear to have shrunk from the responsi- bility of adding a political crisis to the complications incident to the Eenianism and rebellion, hence the Government has obtained an extension of its lease which, without a better observance of the duties incident to the tenantey, may not be renewed when the legal period of occupancy expires. A disastrous fire took place on Sat-ur- day last in Toronto, whereby the sash and blind factory and a large quantity of lumber in the extensive lumber-yard of Messrs. J. St. W.

Acts Assented to. were assemed to by Act respecting the Trade of Col. Rankin has busicd himself no little of late to impeach every one con- nected with N orth-West matters, and to find fault with everything which the Government has done in connection tthilh. Col. Rankin is much of a “ husyhody in other men’s matters,” and withal exceedingly unreliable. Living near the United States’ border his sym- pathies are all with the people and in- stitutions of that country. Whilst pro- fessing a regard for Canadian interests in the N orth-West, there is not wanting evidence of a very conclusive kind that his visit to Red River had a very differ- ent purpose to what he professes. We have heard a good deal of his annexa- tionist movements at Fort Garry; and now the statement comes from there that he ofl'ered Riel six thousand United States’ fillihusters, but that Riel declin- ed the oifer. Col. Rankin evidently burns with a! martial ardor of a kind which cannot induce respect for him in Canada. He has a great Weakness to be a Yankee lancer. If his taste runs that way well and good, but he should cease to pollute Canada with his pres. ence or presume to deliver. lectures to loyal people here. The New York World says :â€" “ One of the most surprising things about the Red River imbroglio is that the Canadian Indians have been the steadfast adherents of the Dominion government. So warm, in fact, has been their friendship that it has been with some little difficulty they have been restrained from SWOOping down upon the centum‘ac‘ious opposers of Brit- ish sovereignty in Manitobah. It is to be observed that these red men are not of adifi'erent race from those on our Western border,- but to the full as sav- ageéntimbering, indeed, a chief among them, the fierce confederacy of the Six Nations, which formerly,- under the leadership of the Mohawks, held their headquarters in this State. To this day they still roam wild in the woods, and are as much given to paint and feathers, and scalping knives and toma- hawks, as ever; but, under the ” wise Indian policy of the Dominion, they wear their paint and war weapons for show only, living in peace and amity with the white man. Why then, when the Englishman can maintain such friendship with the desperate Mohawk, is it that we of the United States must he perpetually engaged in that sicken- ing barbarism known as war on the Plains ? The Canadian policy leads to no wars, no slaughtcrs, no disturbed borders, no costly and frequent expedi- tions, but, in addition to perfect peace, procures the constant keeping on foot of a wild but attached and serviceable light militia that will turn out any day and fight and die for the Dominion.â€" Our side of the picture is too black to talk about; and mortifying as is the confession, it must be admitted that there at least our neighbors excel us as far in humanity as in statecraft. Cons roe SMALL-POX.â€"Tlle OttawaI Free Press has been furnished with a simple remedy which is stated to be easily obtained and unfailing \Vc have growing in all swampy places, a wild plant, called the Pileton Plant Side Saddle Flower, or Surveyor’s Cup, and known to botanists as the Saracenia pur- purea. _ Both the leaves and roots of these are invaluable in small-pox. Both to prevent pitting and to modify the! form of. the disease. It has been ex-? perimented on by an army surgeon in Halifax, who obtained his knowledge of this valuable remedy from the Micmae Indians with the best results. An ounce and a half of the leaves to one quart of boiling water, boiled down to one pint, and administered, one wine- =glass full every six hours is the dose.â€" lThe plant derives its name from a Dr. Sarrazin, of Quebec, who in 1730 first sent a specimen to Tournefort. A few years ago there was said to be a demand for the plant in England, and it was thought it would become an article of Iexport from Canada. Louisiana appears to be the paradise of prize-fighters, where not only the sympathies of the people go with the pugilists, but even a detachment of po- lice are provided for the purpose of keeping the ring. The long expected contest came off between Mace and Al- len in the presence of prominent mer- chants, lawyers, physicians, ex-ofiicers of the army, sporting characters at hoe genus omue, and resulted in the victory of Mace after a severe fight lasting 44 minutes. A prize fight is at all times brutal; but that it should be taken un- der the patronage of the upper ten, and guarded by officers of the law reflects anything but creJit on the authorities of the State in which it took place. According to Fitz Hugh Ludlow, Brigham Young is one of the richest men in the world. Some idea may, be had of his immense wealth when we state, on the authority of that writer, that a single New York house has in- vested 660,000,000 in securities on his account, and his possessions in Great Britain enable him to be the third larg- est depositor in the bank of England. The famiiy of one of the victims of the disaster in Richmond, living in Sid- ney, Va., is very poor, and not knowing where to apply for aid to defray the ex- penses of the funeral, they were fain to bury him in the garden by candle light. There gathered around the open grave dug by their own hands, the little group of Borrowing friends committed him with tears and Bobs to his last rest- ing place.- A Russian uoBleman, having lost his fortune at a Paris gami'iig table, is said .to..have been so hard up as to accept a situation as love; to ex-Queen Isabella. The Red Man. According to all accounts the Fe- nians intend doing,- or attempting to do something towards frustrating our plans respecting the Northwest. It has been positively stated that seweral hundred of the brotherhood passed through St. Paul only a few days ago, bound for Fort Garry; and that others are as. sembling at Duluth, Marquette, and other points on Lake Superior, for the purpose of operating against our forces while on the march. \Vhatever they might accomplish by crossing the Plains from St. Paul, provided the American authorities did not interfere, We have no fear of their harrassing our tr00ps, should they only reach F ort William in safety. In order to reach our line of march the Fenians would have to pass through two or three hundred miles of wilderness. “70 are satisfied they would give out before they had accom- plished half the journey, for the simple reason that there IS not a distillery ox tavern in the whole country. A Fenian army would melt away in two days, under such circumstances. The American press in the ‘Vest seeme to confirm the sensationsto‘ry with reference to the reported Fenian move- ment against the troops to be sent from the Dominion to the Red River settle- ment. Telegrams received last night report that the St. Paul Press of yester- day’s issue, states that the Fenians are mustering in various parts of Minnesota, and that a party, numbers not stated, is en route, overland, for Red River; that a force of F enians 300 strong is await- ing at St. Paul, for arrangements to be completed for their transportation and subsistence before starting for Red River. It is suggested that they may go to Fort William to take possession before the troops arrive. But there is plenty of whiskey at Sault Ste. Marie ; and as the Sault is easily reached by steamer from Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit and other places, it is just possible that an attempt to in- terfere with our expedition may be made there by the Fenians. \Ve do not think they have any idea of fight- ing our forces. They would be satis- fied could they capture the Algoma and Chieora, scuttle them, and then return to the protecting folds of the Stars and Stripes, covered with Fenian glory.â€" This is what they are most likely to at- tempt, should they attempt anything.- It is evident that our Government have reason to think that such an attack is not improbable; and, in order to frus- trate the scheme, and protect our trans ports, the gun-heat Rescue has been ordered to the Sault, and is now on her way up. She was laying in the “’01â€" land Canal when Captain Wyatt, the gun-boat agent, received the order on Saturday to send her away; and she immediately started. In case the F c- nians make an attack on our vessels, and in case the Rescue gets within gun- shot of them, we are satisfied she will give a good account of herself, and make it unpleasant for the heroes in green.â€"â€"Telcgraph. The Fenians and the N orth-West. All this however, is mere besh, for the Feniaus, all combined, cannot raise the cash necessary for the transport of 300 men to the Red River, leaving out the eXpenses of equipment, the trans- port ‘of munitions of war, and the mainâ€" tenance of such a number of men in a country which has no more provisions than is necessary for a pepulation scattered over more than fourteen thou- sand square miles of territory, and only numbering, at the highest estimate, about 17,00 souls. Besides nineteen- twentietbs of this population are, from all accounts, hostile to Fenianism, as well as anneXation. Even Riel the murderer and his gang, bad as they are, refuse to have any connection with men lower in character than they themselves, and hence they repudiate Fenianism al- to gether. We believe there is nothing to be apprehended either in Canada or at Red River, from the Fenian crew, because they are destitute of the means necessary to give them potency. A New York telegram says the Executive Committee of the Fenian rotherhood- has been in Session all day. It is positively asserted that troops and officers have left that city Within the past few days for the border. In referring to the stoppage of the1 Chicora, the New York Tribune says' that Government must have come to the conclusion that her cargo was to he used in the suppressal of the Northwest in- surrection, and that it is determined to maintain strict neutrality in the affair. “At the same time,” the Tribune says, “there is no longer a doubt that armed bands of Fenians are moving through Minnesota to join Riel iu “7innepeg or Manitoba. What will the Government. do with these ‘8” The question can he as it is discovered. that it is the inten- tion of the Fenians to move against Can- ada or join Riel, their conventions should he stepped, their movements held in check, and all supplies of arms or raid confiscated. To a nation that shows itself so jealous in the question of neutral- ity, as to stop the passageof the Chicora, this appears to be its plain duty; this is undoubtedly the course it ought to pursue, but that it will hold to such a line of action'we cannot state that we so confidently expect. A man in Rhode Island has been sent to jail for ten days for sleeping in church. Nothing was done to the clergy- man who put. him to sleep. Portland peOple are fixing birds’ nests to the trees, to encourage birds to come to dwell there and eat u p the worms that destroy the foliage. The Fenians. A wauld-b'e. suicide at Cincinnati was pulled off the track before a coming train bya railroad man, who warned him against trying to “muss up the engine any such way as that." An observer in Washington, speaking about the U. S. Senators, says :â€"Most of them sit with their hands in their pockets, Walk with their hands in their pockets, and talk with their hands in their pockets. In view of the fringes, tassels, cords and braids that are used to make ladies dresses, nowadays, the New York Com mercz'al prOposes to fashion reporters to- say that ladres arc “elegantly upho ster- ed,’ rather than dressed. A fourteen months" old baby in Con- necticut fell out. of a window to a stone step nineteen feet below, struck on its head, but was not much hurt. President Linco'n,duriug the war. sent this unique telegram to General Hooker: “If the head of Lee’s army is at Martinsburg and the tail of it o; the plank road between Fredericksburg and Chaucellorsviile, the animal must be pretty slim somewhere.
