The M‘ losses at Uluudi disheartened the Znlus and increased the intestine dinoouun‘,l among the various tribes. The result is tnat the chiefs have resisted the authority of Cetewayo and each one for himself | makes offer® of perce to Sir Garnet Wolâ€" Iseley. Cetewayo has aissppeared for the present off the scene, but it is feared that so loog as he hus his liberty the country is not safe from revolt. â€"The Revised edition of the English version of the New Testament and parts of the Old is expected to be issued in 1880. The work of revision has been earried on by a committee known as the Angloâ€" American Bible Revision Comuitteeâ€"the English section of which conmsisted of 52 members and the American of 27. The work was commenced in 1870, and has been conducted with energy and with the most perfect harmony among the members and with perfect agreement so far on all differences of opinion which have cropped up from time to time. When the work ot revision is finished, the new version will le issued from the University presses of Oxâ€" ford and Cambridge as the joint work of the Angloâ€"American Committee. â€"It will be within the reeollection of our readers that about twelve mouths ago a Russian uavigator, Nordsuskjold sailed from Gottenburg easswards along the coast of Siveria with the object of determining, as he expected to be able to do, the feasiâ€" bility of a northern route to China ard Japan by Bohrings Straits. The expedition, consisting of two vessels, was fitted out by the Russian Government, and sailed on the 4th of July of last year. In two months it reached the mouth of the Lena, but shortly afterwards cold weather set in, the Northern Ocean became frozen over and the expedition of Nordeuskjold was arrestâ€" «1 from any further progress. But the waiin suns of this summer set the expediâ€" tion free from its icy bed and it is now anvounced that it is passing through Behrâ€" ing‘s Stracts en route for China and Japan, thereby establishing the fact that open sea does exist aloug the northern shores of Enrope and Asia. â€"The cattle tra le with Great Dritain is exâ€" pecte d by exporters to be much brisker this Fall than it has been for scme time. An experienced dealer says that thers is no difliculty at present in finding a market for fifty thousand sheep at good prices. The demand is far in excess of the supply, and will continue so, so long as farmers persist in spending their strengh in the production of grain rather than the raising of cattle. Hitherto prime cattle have been chicfly sought by dealers, but now it would scem that there is a great demand forlean catt‘s â€"@ Toronto firm hbaving entcred imto on agreement to deliver 10,000 lean or store ca‘tl> at Liverpool and Belfast before the The Montreal Witress commenting on the above act ot the Government of Sir John A. Macdonald says :â€"That the people of this provinee had come to look upon the Crown with its prerogatives, as represented by Mr. Letellier, with affection and gratiâ€" tude. In a moment of great danger the prerogative had saved them from distasteâ€" ful and onerous taration and tyrannical regislation with which they were threatened by an overbearing and untrastworthy Cabinet, ruled by a dishonest railway ring. They will not readily forget that, nor are they likely to forget that the Governorâ€" General consented to the dismissal of the Lieutenantâ€"Governor for this very act. In the province the Crown has become by its own act the instrument of the majority,and it will be for the people, when next the ocâ€" casion presents itself, to see what otuer meadgk can be found for the protection of the country from a combination leagued together tor the purpose of plunder,such as was the majority in the House of Assembly eighteen months ago. Uuless by some very bold action this decision with regard to the scope ot a Governor‘s functions be reversed it can never again be hoped that the prerogative will be able to come to the reseue of the people. Its power for good has been destroyed. _ In the brilliant language of the aocument under consideraâ€" tion its usefulness is gone. â€" People can and probably will live long in an empty suow, but it will uot be to be wondered at if some begin to discuss the expense of an oflice which has abmegzated its ouly function. 1st of Novemberâ€"so that with prospects of low rates of freight there promises to be a lirze and profit= ble trade done in this line withiu the next few months.

The Telegraph of St. Johu‘s, New Brueswick wiiting on the same subject, says :â€"That it was supposed tuat Confederâ€" ation had left the Leuiocuantâ€"governors in possession of the prerogatives t.lu.:y had theretofure always exercised with impunity when sustained by the people. Letelher, whatever he may suffer for so doing tested the existence of that right : he asserted the antonomy of Quebec as always maintained in that provinee ; and as it has always been raaintained in New Brunswick, but the Goâ€" vercment of Sir John Macdonald has deâ€"| Septemi! »troyed the illusion that the right had any | offered i existence. .

Canada himse‘}t dismiss a ministry, susâ€" tained by an obsequious mejority, though that ministry were found plotting the deâ€" struction of the Canadian nationality or the robbery of the public and the confiseation of debts justly due, by the issue of an irâ€" redeemable paper currency. The humiliaâ€" tion of the aucient and proud province of Lower Canada, now calied Q 1ebec, is comâ€" plete. The voice of her people, the protest uf her Legislature is of no accouut, and tbo“ anteâ€"coufederation rights and privileges of the Liextenantâ€"Governor are, to a certain ertent, utterly aunililated, and what is done in Quebec toâ€"day may be done in any other province toâ€"morrow. â€" When we went into confederation, and did not adopt a Legislative Union, it was that we might conserve the ancient rights of the provinees, more especially of Quebec, which distrusted & legislative union. Now the nncient rights, supposed to be concerned, are sw opt away. But the deception, the breach of faith, the invasion of undoubted rights :s this case is not greater than what lhas taken place in others. Now Brunswick, toâ€"day, lies prostrate at the feet of a Government which has trampled in the dust the proâ€" mises, on the faith of which we entered the union,overwhelmed importers and conâ€" sumers with unjust and oppressive tares, and struck a heavy blow at the great inâ€" dustries, by means of which, in times past, we were enabled to pay for our imports. The one act of perfidy is in keeping with the other. as County Councillors, would be applied to some advantage ou the farm or in the shop, whils the work specially | e‘onging to the jurisdietion of the County Council could be much more efficently and economically lone in the o.fice of the Provincial Secreâ€" tary, As a reason for retaining the County Council in its present form by some it has been urged, that it plays the part of a a tui ing establishment for embryonic M. Ps. and M. P. Ps. But to this and other asâ€" pects of this important subject we will refer on & future vecasion. Qur contemporary, the Walkerton Teleâ€" scope, soys that for all practical purposes these Councils are mere log rolling iustiâ€" tutions, that the members are influereed by paltiy, selfish considerations, aud have no regurd for the municipality, as a whole, which they represont, and take their seats at the Counsil Board with the olject of "watching lest their neighbors get someâ€" thing without getting anything themselves" Our correspondent Jahn Mohr, in his trenchant way of putting the case, shows in last Review that even in the examination ¢f accounts the Council of Grey is someâ€" times at a loss to determine to whoin the amount claimed is rightfully due, if to any one, and to rid themselves of the difficulty, blindly votes that the sum be paid. And we might point to the action of the present Council of Grey in the matter of grants for the ModelSchools as proof of their atter incrnpacity to legislate in the best interests of the people. Appropriations for roads and bridges, or for building High Schools are readily granted after boing submitted to the cheeseâ€"paring or rather logâ€"rolling process as stated by the Telescope. But grants to the Model Schools for the proper training cf teachers are summarily voted down. The higher is subordinated to the lower. _A good road is considerad to be a great desideratum, whereas the moral and intellectual education of therising genâ€" eration is held by these gentlemen to be of vory little nccount. Various remedies are suggested for the evil complained of. The O. S. Advertiser advocates recucing the number of members and abolishing the office of Deputyâ€"Reeve altogether, whereas the Telescope thinks it would be better to make the County Counâ€" cil to consist of five members t> be elocted by the whole connty when the other muniâ€" cipal elections are held. Both sehomes present certain advantages, but where the evil is so flagrant and deep rooted a more radical remoedy than sither seems to be reâ€" quired. When an institution has become so enmbrous, expensive and inefficient as the County Council evidently has become, the best tinkering will avail little. It is far better to abolish it utterly and transfer its functions to the Provincial Government with the exception of such purely local matters as could be dealt with to better advantage by the Towuship Conneil. There would thus be not only a very large direct saving to the municipalities, but the time now spent uselessly by Reeves and Depuâ€" ties in attending to their soâ€"called duties THz Provincial Exhibition this year is to be held at Ottawa, but Toronto is makâ€" ing preparations for an exhibition which will be to this section of the country of more impor:ance than the Provincial. 1t will eontinue open from the 1st to the 19th of September, twenty thousand dollars being offered in prizes, The minagement, judgâ€" ing from the arrangements and programme, intend making the exhibition s success. This is an age of change, not always of an enlightened charaeter certainly, yet, alâ€" though retrograde steps may be taken, still the march is forward, and the end better than the beginning. Novelties in science and polities are submitted to the test of exâ€" periment. The process may be costly and some.im s abounls in fallacies, but neve:â€" theless the gruins of truth, if auy, are disâ€" covered, and the dross given to the winds. Thus the Baconian method of investigation never had so numerous or so devoted a following as at the present day. The County Council, among other institutions of a a like sort, which are being submitted to this sifting process, is at present receivâ€" ing a large measure of attention. That the County Council lhas been of some service in its day is not lenied, but it is contended that with age it has become effete, that it is curmbrous,expensive, and inefficient; and that while preserviog the outward form of a legislative body, it is powerloss for good as a link in our municipal system of govâ€" erument. ssociation, ang His Imlhnoy with the Princess, have conmonted to open the Eiâ€" CcoUNTY COUNCILS. is patron of the Asâ€" THs Dundalk Uuion Agricultural Show will be hell at Dundalk, on Tuesday, the Tth of October.

When opposite Mr. M. Greenley‘s he met with a very narrow escape. A portion of a stub of a tree fell between himself and son, who were sitting on the seat together, the latter driving, the horses. It is supposed that a limb or knot on the tree struck Mr. W., his forehead boing seratchâ€" ed and his nose laid open. It was at first feared his nose was broken, but such was not the case. The boy‘s ankle was skinned, his boot being torn off, and the front wheels, &e., of the waggon were smashed. The horses proceeded some few rods when they stopped.

We do not know of any better place to go for a days real enjoyment than Eugenia with its beautiâ€" ful scenery, and if a path was made down to the river two or three hundred yards below the Falls and a foot bridge thrown across and a path continued on to the ledge of rock kuown as Shell bank, it woald open up some of the finest sceuery that cin be imaginedâ€" cedars growing in every conceivable formâ€" cascades and cataracts from ten to twenty feet oue above another, with a fail of nearly three hundred feet, crowned with the large perpenâ€" dicular fall of seventy feet, and at Shell bank the rippling spring over the ledge of the cliff, with a fall of about twenty feet, fossils in great abundance, and the whcle view from that point one of magniticance in almost its natural state, and of a beauty all its own.

One day last week a farmer named Stone, living in Keswick, parish of Donglas, York county, New Brunswick, sent two or three of liis children to pick the bugs from the potato plants, in the course of which his little son, about eight years old, sqneezed one of the insects in his hand, and perhaps having some small sore on his fingers, his hand began to sweli, the swelling eontinuâ€" ing np his arm and nevoss his body.
