A Brief, but eventful History. The Cincinnati Gazette gives the fol- lowing incidents in the life of a woman in that place, who had, a few days ago, made two attempts to thrown herself in the Miami Canal, but was drawn out both times by persons near :â€" “At the age of fifteen her father died in a village in Western New York, leav- ing asnug competence for both mother and daughter, sufficient to protect them iron want for many years. Time, bow- evcr, soothed the grief of the widow, and in a year or t’fm she married a second bus- band, who soon appropriated all the avails of the property, and left the orphans to work their way in a cold and uncaring world. At seventeen the would-be suicide married an old bachelor, more for a home than afi'ection, who in a year left her a widow with $10,000, deposited in money and securities in his brother’s hands, and-de- pending upon his boom to pay it over as it should be needed. In a year the brother reported the estate exhausted and bank- rupt. Two or three years alter, the lady again married rividower, who left her at his death some $30,000 in money, stock and securities. She was then wealthy en- ough ; lived in good style ; was a gay and beautiful woman, in the prime of life. Honest and confiding. she trusted others to do her business, and as a natural conse- quence, found herself homeless and penni- less in a brief period. With little cour- age or energy, she sought relatives at the west, and after bull'eting about from one city to another, for a season, disheartened at the trials of the world, she married again in Cincinnatiâ€"â€"not as she before twice made her bridal bed, with happy surroundings, but she wedded far beneath bcrformer positions, and year after year carried both deeper in the scale of degra- dation. The husband indulged daily in liquid potations, that made him a brute; the wife attempted to drown present care and remembrance of the past in the bowl. From a decent home to a less respectable one, was a consequence, and from that to a shanty, a necessity. Hard times came on space; poverty and want made life a Buvdcmpad sick, tired and desperate, she attempted to put an end to life’s troubles by self-destruction as before related.

A general and sincere regret was felt in the city on Monday. on the announcement of the death of Mrs. Macdonald, the wife of the Hon. John A. Macdonald,‘ after a long and painful illness, which she hove with Christian: fortitude and patience. Mi-s. Macdonald was interred in the pic- teresqce Catarqui Cemetery, on VVednes- day, the funeral being perhaps the largesl ever witnessed in Kingston although the weather was inclement. Every citizen of influeng or standing was in the proces- sion, which extended nearly two miles, the hearse being half way to VVaberloo, wbrn the last sleigh passed the city limits. If genuine and sincere sympathy on the [art of a whole peiple could in any measu e alleviate the poignancy of such a sorrow. never more truly and sincerely was it given, than by the people of Kingston to Mr. Macdonald. Politics and every thing else is forgotten except that ‘John A.’ (the al 30, Opposition 3‘2. Doubtful or Inde- familiar name which all here love to call him) the affable, kind, open-hearted friend of every man, whether rich, poor, young or old in this city. is sitting sorrowing at his desolate fireside. Mr. Macdouald may, and we have every confidence will gain many triumphs as a public man, but in our estimation no future triumph will equal that which lie obtained, when be conquered the love and obtained such a secure hold on the affections of the peo- ple of Kingston. Let him treasure it well, for few public men 'in Canada have ever been so highly favored in this respect; it diders far from that interested sympathy so often bestowed upon the succesful poli- tician. The Confidence Game. A CANADIAN INVALID 'rI-rc VICTIM. â€"Mr. James Irwin, a young wheelwright, about 30 years of ago,residing in Toronto, Canada, arrived in New York on Friday, and stopped at the St. Nicholas Hotel He had been out of health some time, and was advised by the Physician to spend the winter in Florida. He gathered bis earnings together and started on his in- tended trip. lie was to take the steamer for Charleston, S. S., at 3 P.. M., on Saturday. At the hotel a gentleman form- od his acquaintances who p‘eterided to reside in Hamilton,Canndai This gentle- man was also going to take the steamer for Charleston, and was very happy to form the acquaintance of Mr. Irwin. The stranger proposed a stroll down Broad- way, as the air was bracing, and the ladies abundant and beautiful. Mr. 1min had no objection, and they started down Broad- way. After proceeding a few bl-‘icks the gel-anger happened to think ofa bill of s 9.") for articles which be had purchasedat the store eta merchant of his acquaintanch and which he ought to pay before leaving the city. [leashed Mr. Irwin thwhh him on his mercantile friend, which request the latter had complied with, when, as good fortune would have it, they met the .ercantle friend in the street. The rest of the slow in“ thrice told tale.” Shari W No: I spoke about the bdl,anrl o'l'cr- ed stranger No. ‘2 a $100 bill, from which to take the amount due him. Stranger No. 2 had not the change, whereupon the stranger No. I asked Mr. Irwin to change the hill. Mr. Irwin was happy to oblige, and immediately gave ten good ten dollar bills for a bogus $100 bill on “ The city Trust and Banking Company.” No. I asked Mr. Irwin to step into a store and satisfy himself about the bill. Mr. Irwin steps into a store and the two stran- gers slide. Mr. Irwin comes from the store, sees nothing of the strangers, and is dumb-laundered. Stranger Mr. Irwin was not long in collecting his senses. He went to the Police office and told his story, giving as ' far as he could, a de~criptinn of the stran- gers. them. The Police 3 e on the look out for Meantime Mr. porarily postponed his trip, as he wishes to Irwin has tem- remain to identify York Herald. Who are the Vichorsl the parlies.---Ncw The campaign is nearly over, and in spite of all the loud boasting of the Op- position journals, the Modcrate cause is' in the ascendnnt. Out of the eighty-five elections decided, the Moderates claim fifty-four. given the OppOsition the ben- efit of the doubtful. Several are put down as Oppositionists who cannot be exâ€" pected to work with the factionists in Par- liament, consequently we may justly con- sider the Ministry sustained by a large majority. Forty-five elections are yet to be held, and there can be little doubt that the great majority will be dLleIell in favor ofthe Moderates. In Upper Canada the parties will be pretty nearly balanced, but the large preponderance from Lower Canâ€" ada will probably give the Ministry :1 ma- jority on the whole of 30 or 40. With such a majority there can be no difficulty in the way of the Macdonald administra- tion. The Leader observes that sectionâ€" al issues have been raised which are pro- ducing results the reverse of favorable in Upper Canada. This is obvious enough since it is clear that Lower Canada will have a preponderance in the Legislature. But, say the Opposition, the Ministry hav- ing a majority against them in Upper Canada, they will be compelled to give way. Really, this is the greatest absur- dity ever dreamt of. Cali it be possible that a Government having a majority of nearly 40 on the whole should be com- pelled to give way, because they may hap- pen to be in a small minority in one sec- ion‘! \Ve know that the great argu- ment of ruling Upper Canada by a Low- er Canadian majority will be strongly ur- ged by the Opposition ; but if the Union Act is of any value, there can be no help for it. Surely Mr. Brown will not un- dertake to govern the majority of LowEr Canada by a minority of the whole. His organ tells us that the Coalition is dead, and will soon be buried; and by whom will it be buried? Certainly not by the Clear Grits, even if they can claim an the dress of the child. This should teach mothers that they cannot be too careful in kenping matches out of the reach of their children.â€"Brant Herald. Shall the Majority Rule fâ€"Yesl Shall the majority rule? asks our able cotemporary of the “ Spectator,” in a very excellent article on the question of the Union, In hisissue of Monday last. Yes! most unbesitatingly do we answer. And who, but the great fanatic Brown, and his followers of the Notinan stamp, will, for a moment, stand in doubt as to the justness and propriety of our answur to this question being in the affirmative? \Vho, but the disturbcr of the country's peace, and the barrier to Canada’s ad~ i-ancemcnt, will dare to insult the good people who live D the Eastern section of the Province of Canada by saying that they have not the right of speaking as n we of Canada,” as well as those who happen to make the \Vestern section their Is Mr. Brown’s wish on the double majority system to be, place of residence? for a moment, tolerated, in order that he may “ walk the board I” Not a bit of it' Suppose, for a moment. that the ideaâ€" presumptiou though it lieâ€"should be car- ried out for Ihe purpose of experimenting, how would matters stand? “'hy, the old adage, that “it isa poor rule that won‘t work both ways,” would be fulfilled, and George Brown would exclaiin, “ alas! THAT double majority system,” on finding Upper Canada majority of one or two. The Globe further tells us that there are not ten members returned as out-and-out defenders and supporters of the Ministry. This is another Globurism. It is as well, however, that the Grits should delude themselves with the idea that they are in the ascendant. It appears that they are already quarrelling over the loaves and fishes, and really expect to be called upon to assume the place of the present Ad- ministration. We wish tlicm luck when they succeed in clutching power. The Globe claims a victory for its party. and puts down there turns thus; Ministeri- pendent 3 ; yet in the face of this classi- fication it unblusliingly asserts that the Ministry have been defeated by a majori- ty of nearly two to one! Included in the Opposition are the names of Messrs. Sid- ney Smith, Clarke and McLeod, not one of whom is opposed to the Mini: rv'. There are others who, although not pledged to liimselfiu the minority, regarding Lower Canada support, to the tune of from thirty- five to forty. But, reader, there is not the least four of Mr. Brown having the opportunity of experimenting. The members elect for Canada will take their seats irflhe HWse, WI thcimajFItyâ€"T' handsome one, tooâ€"will extend to the Administration of the Hon. John A. Macdonald their support. No matter “hit County they represent. It‘s not necessary to know. Equal rights must be had, for sectional bigotry and fanati- cism will not be permitted to hold sway in “ this Canada.” Canada is our Coun- try. “We know it not by any other name; and we know her people, no matter whether they hail from Windsor or Gaspe, as the people of Canada. \Ve require not to ask a man whether he be- longs to the Lower section,or whether he belong to the Upper, in order to tell him His law,or His privelcge. W'e go for conceding to one that which another possesses. Its not exactly come to this state of things, that a member of our Legislature is required to say what part he is the representative of, in order that it may be decided upon whether or not he shall vote upon the question before the House. Not exactly yet, has it come to this, Mr. Brown. A great idea, to be sure, that, because Mr. Brown draws upon his imagination, and supposes that the Ministry will be in the minarity in that part of Canada which is sometimes called made 30 more closely Ulllte England the Upper portion, that they should suc- Wllh lllc Ulllled Slates by means of cumb.

The Year 1857- A very interesting chronological statement oftlie principle events of the year, which has just closed, has been published in the New York “ Herald.” The following is a slight enumeration of the occurrences of that memorable year:â€" The year 1857 Opened with wars existing between England and China. and England and Persia. After some severe fighting Great Britain concluded a treaty of peace with Persia ; but her difficulty with China still exists, after having produced a most serious interruption of the trade ofall nations with that countrV and almost involving the government of the United States in the dispute. The only results of‘tlic quarrel so far have been merely the exhibition of the immense progress which the Chinese have made in the science of war during a few years, the burn- ing ofa great portion of the city of Canton, both by ‘ outside burbarians’ and natives, the presence of a fleet ofEnglish gunboats iu the rivers and the more than hcriditary obstinacv shown by the Court of I’ekin in rc- fusiug to negotiate with foreign pow- crs. The republics of CentralAm- erica were nonvulscd with war dis- turbances during the year. By a combination of the Central American States, under the lead of Costa Rica Nicaragua was enabled to expel Gen. Walker and his followers. In the guan Transit route, and made war on the new government ofNiearagua when Gen. Walker again attempted to aid the struggles ofthc Central Americans for independent self-rule. The disastrous termination of Walk- er’s second cnterprise is too fresh in the minds of our readers to require further allusion in this place. The republics of Peru, Bolivia and Mexi- co, President Commonfort had to contend against two powerful and united factions the one headed open- ly by the clergy and the other stimu- lated by the wily partizans of Santa Anna. Asa national safe-guard, a new constitution was promulgated and sworn to, and after that Com- monfort was clothed with the powers of Dictator. England’s rule in the East Indies was threatened in the most violent manner during the year by a revolt of the Sepoy soldiers, serving in the Bengal army, in con- sequence of an offence offered to their religious prejudices by the mili- tary authorities. An attempt was aid. Most foreign countries were seriously disturbed by a se- vere finahical revulsion consequent in the United States, and ended for the present, in the suspension of the Heavy commercial failures took place in London, Paris, mun, Ber- lin, Madrid, and the crisis extended to St. l’etersburg, Warsaw and Coli- stantinople. The French Govern- ment entered into a contract for sup- plying its West India colonies with free negroes, to be imported from Africa as laborers. This was looked enLCoslmllicaseized omthc Nicarafi fired without bursdng. I believe the effect is principally moral but it is a very ridiculous perversion of our most recent progress. The Election.

All these are put down by the Globe either as Oppositionists or Indepen- dent. There can be no correct classi- fication until the House meets, when, in- stead of the Opposition being in the ma- jority, the “ Governmental impossibility ” will find that be has counted at random. The victory is with the Moderates, as we have clearly shown. possibly give the .oderates a majority of two or three, while Lower Canada will not give the Opposition more than 15. Thus the House. will probably stand when it meets, 8+ Moderates to 48 Opposition- ists. This is about as near as the calcu- lation can be made at present; yet the Opposition journals insist that the Ministry should give way, and make room for Mr. George Brown! “'35 ever such a thing heard of before lâ€"I‘lven supposing that the Moderates are left iua minority of one or two in Upper Canada, they will still have a large majority on the whole, Upper Canada may and it is hardly likely that they will give way to the Ministry, no matter how the Globe may rave and fume about it.

Five little children belong- ing to two tradesmen of Bolkenbayn, in that country, went a few days ago to play in a garden, and were joined by a boy of eleven. who has always been noticed for perversity of disposition. After awhile their parents sought for them, but to their astonishment round that they disappeared. After looking a long while they found them lying piled one on another in a large wooden casein a shed in the garden; four were dead, and the fifth, though still ln~eat|iing,was in so desperatea state that The lad referred to was then questioned; and lie calmly relat- u‘d the astounding fact that he had pcr~ suuded the children to enter the case in p'uy» â€"liad tlii-n slammed down the lid, and suited himself on it~remaining there for three quarters ofan hour listening to their cries and groans; he then raised the lid to we ifthey wore dead, and finding they‘ were not so. had fastened it by means ofa limpâ€"after which he had gone away to fly his kite!
