But it seems that at least some part of these doubts are already in a fair way of being set at rest. That the sea. is still the natiOnal element of Eng- lishmen, that the greater the danger is still beyond doubt, whether it be from elementary strife, or whether it be from a war of men, the British sailor’s energies and hardy courage shrink not from the struggle, but rise with the occasion, and the more dreadful the strife the nobler and more fearless the darino, On shore the pride ofthe nation glories in such descriptions as, that Of the Channel Fleet rushing into the At- lantic to meet the gale in its terrific might.

It is always a solemn thought, 1 that we are all fast hastening to that bourne whence no traveller e’cr yet returned; but there are times when the grim monster, more espe- cially reminds us of our mortality by striking low at one fell swoop some of our most eminent men, or by earthquake, shipwreck, or ter- rible steamboat explosion, or torri- fic railway disaster, sending his victims by'wholesale to an untimely and unfOiwarhed grave. The past six weeks will long be bitterly rc- mcmbered by many. On the 25th and 26th of October last, the ocean bound coasts of Great Britain were visited with a terrific gale, which caused the destruction of the Royal Charter in Muffa Red Wharf Bay, near Bangor. and out of 500 per- sons who were on board at the time, but 39 were saved Other Vessels were also lost at that period, with the lives of many of their crew and passengers. We were scarcely re- covered from the shock that such ill-tidings gave, before the telegraph announced that the steamship Indian, one. of our noble ocean line, was a complete wreck off Guys- boro’, a small town in the eastern extremity ofthe mainland of Nova Scotia, with the loss of 27 lives.» The ocean still seems determined to sport, as it were, with our boasted science, and ever and anon show us what puny creatures we are, and how ineffectual after all are the efforts of man to encounter this “giant in his strength.” Within the past few weeks we have also seen our Governor Gene- ral shorn as it were of his strength, his only son finding a watery grave; and as if to teach us still more impressively the impoltant truth that “this IS not our rest," Sir James Macaulay, the late. Chief Justice, was suddenly taken, from us on Saturday last, the 28th ult., in the ‘67th year of his age. At about 11 A.M. on that day, he at- tended Osgoode Hall to preside over the Benchers. Soon, how- ever, after he entered the Convo- cation, be complained of a pain of the chest, was Immediately driven home, and before medical advice could be obtained, he was no more. We cannot give a better or more complete summary of his many virtues than by qubting true follow- ing from, the Colonist ;â€"~“ A kind and honorable man, a learned and conscientious lawyer, an upright and careful judge, a sincere Chris- tian and a Zeal'oiis and consistent member of his Church, he gave both in public and private life an example‘to all, and. established for himself a reputation which will never be forgotten. With him, from first: to last, the discharge of his duty was the chief considera- tion, and throughout a long and well spent life, even till the moment of his death, he labored industri- ously to advance the welfare of his fellow men and the honor and prosperity of his country.” Of him it may truthfully be said, “a great man hath fallen ;” for he alone is truly great who is emin- ently good, and as one turn of ill.- fortune is frequently followed by another, so it is in this case}; for while we were yet lamenting the untimely death of the late Chief Justice, it. was announced to us that Joseph Hartman, Esq., the esteemed member for North York and Warden of the United Counties of York and Peel. had also ex- pired. The following account of him is abridged from the Glooe :â€"-. “.The death of Mr. Hartman has been expected not only for days, and weeks but for months and years, To Seasonings.»- ‘0 these of our subscrib- yet the last; scene comes upon hlS etc who receive our papers from Holland Land- friends wit}; a force only felt when ing, Newmarket, Aurora. and Oak Ridges. ‘ bag to announco that Mr JAnns HOLLADAY, Aurora. is authorised to receive monies for this office, as he has kindly consented to become our Agent for the shore-named places. work done on the shortest notice. and at the lowest reinunerating prices. a“ an upright and useful mad passes away from earth" Although many months ago bissn'cngth had been brought so low that active exertion was attended with suffering and danger, his energy of spirit re- mained unimpared, and up to the very last,bc continued to discharge his public duties with the utmost zeal. The parents of Mr. Hartman were of German. extraction, and emigrating from Pennsylvania at the first settlement of Canada, esta- blished themselves in the township of Whitcburch, where Joscph was born about thirty eight years ago, Mr. Hartman resided on the farm of 150 acres, in Whitchurch, left him bi his father, but also possessed pi'operty in the ecunty of Grey, He married Miss Cosford, a daughter of the well known family of that name, and leaves three children,all boys. He was distinguished as warden by great assiduity ~and clearness of comprehension, as well as moderation and dignity. He was thoroughly acquainted with muni- cipal matters, and to him United Counties are deeply inâ€" debted for the orderly state of their affairs. It will be very difficult to replace him in his position. Sel- dom is it that a man-of so much ability bestows such labour as he did on the thankless duties of a re- presentative of the people.” His end was peace. Closely following the account of Mr. Hartman’s death, .we read this :â€"-â€"“ At his house in York street on Tuesday, the 2ch November, in the~418t year of his ago, George Alexander Phillpotts, Esq, Junior Judge of the County Court of the United Counties or York and Peel.” This gentleman, we believe, was well known, and wherever known, was respected. Washington Irving is also gone to his rest. Many a happy hour have we spent in reading his works. The whole civilized world will mourn o’er his grave. Then there is the Rev. Angel James, of Birmingham, England, another of the ‘ salt of the earth,” he too, is gone to his last home. Brunel and Stephen- son, the celebrated engineers, have also, fallen victims to the ruthless destroyer recently. Wide is the gap made by death in taking away from us such useful and truly great men. ‘ r94"- ------- ALMIRA MILLS. We lately paid avisit to these mills, and were surprised to find that the Messrs. Bowman Were doing such an extensive business. They have a fine brick mill, in which they can grind about 150 bushels of'wheat per diem. The flour we saw was of the finest and best description, equal indeed to any in the Province. ' From the grist mill, we went to the carding establishment, and there we found eight- superior Carding machines, one unique Shearing machine, a Napping Machine, Carpet Loom, and a Spinning Jenny. We find that Mr. Bowman manufactures carpets of every pattern, and supe- rior workmanship; and as to the wear, we should imagine from the looks of one we saw, that had been in use upwards of fifteen years,that they never wear out, We also saw some warm looking blankets, first- rate flannels and cloth, and this last (cloth) we can with confidence recommend, as we have both black and check cloth of their manufac- turn, and finclit very durable. We find that ' they manufacture cloth of every description, satinct, would alsocall the attention of the public to the fact, that parties from a distance can have their gristin’g done, and take it back with them. Nor is this all.. Wooltaken in the fleece can be manufactured into carpetsor any other goods. Cloth is also given in exchange for wool.

Bouisson, of Montpelier, according; to the Medicth Times, has recently stated that the great increase of this affection is due to the practice of smoking; and the late M. Roux attributed also to this, tha fact of his having met with a larger p0rtion of cancerous affections of the lip during the latter than during the former half of his prolonged surgical career. h’I. Fleury, of Clermont, is, however, of a different Opinion; for deploring equally with M. Bouisson the pernicious practice of smoking he doubts whether cancerous affection of the lips is one of its effects. Between 18415 and 1855, he has operated upon 86 patients, 'fl being men, and 15 women. not one. of these beingr less than 43 years; of age. They were all of the patient class, chiefly from among the mountains of l‘uy-de-dome and the vicinity. where smo‘ king is wholly practised. It is a remark- able fact that the inhabitants of the sur- rounding plains, and of the towns, whore smoking prevails much more, are ainost completer free from the affection.~» Medical Times.

We had the pleasure of examining it, through the kindness of’ W'in. Henderson, Esq. in whose posses- sion it was at the time. It is probable that such an interesting staff was llth‘r held on a similar occasion by any consc-x orator outside of the city of fierce. It was while kneeling before the Abbot, holding this blessed staff in his hand, that the English monarch remarked that the Scots were sneing for mercy.

Medcalf, on King Street, near the Don Bridge, took the and in a brief period the whole premises were one mass of flame. The alarm being given, the firemen turned out. with characteristic promptitude and praceeded with all alacrity. to the scene of the disaster. Before they reached it. however, all hopes of saving. the buildings were abandoned, and the eXertionr of the SPCCthOt'S were confined to the saving of such articles of value as could readily be removed from the build: logs. The heat was intense, and conse- quently but little property was rescued from the devouring element. Almost the whole of the machinery, pattrons. tools, running gear, books tho; oftlie foundry were destroyedâ€"the value of which in the aggregate was estlmated at about $ 12,000 '1 here" Was, besides. in the building a variety of manufactured work, the works for one mill alone being worth $1,200; all of it was so far injured as to become nearly worthless. The rire is supposed to have been caused by the lodgment of some sparks in the roof of the southern part of the building. A number of workmen are thrown out of employment by this disaster- ons conflagratipn; and the loss sustained by Mr. Medcalf will fall with paticular severity, as we understand there was no insurence effected on the property. This is the fifth time Mr. Medcalf has been a sufferer by fire.â€"â€"-Leader of Thursday. The Worthington (Green county, Ind.)
