The Grand Trunk. THE present position ofthc affairs of the Grand Trunk lR. R. forms just now a theme of general discussion throughout the Province. A few remarks, therefore, on the subject will not, we are sure, be uninter- esting to the majority Of our readers. " Fools build houses, and wise men live in them,” is an adage, the spirit of (which might, with propriâ€" ety, be applied to the builders and Stockholdch Ofrailroads in general, as well as to those who construct dwellings. With the exception of a few speculators, who, in the inciâ€" pient stages of railroad enterprise, by judicious manoeuvring, contrive to make fortunes, not many who thus invest capital succeed in real- izing largo returns. ch will pre- tend to deny the vast impetus which the construction of these thorough- fares gives to the onward progress of a country ; but at the same time, it must be admitted that those in- dividuals who honestly invest money in them, are not in general the greatest gainers. 111 some in- stances where tracks have been run through favorable districts, re- spectable dividends have been the result; but in the majority Of cases this is rather the exception than the rule. l‘Ve think, therefore, that the existing financial embarrass- ment of our great Provincial line, is not a matter that should excite much wonder. It would indeed be an extraordinary circumstance, if a gigantic undertaking such as the Grand Trunk, demanding an im- mense outlay of capital, and re- quiring such a length of time be- fore. profitable returns could be re- alized, would be capable of passing through a period of unprecedented monetary depression, without eu- couutering serious difficulties. There has been hitherto but little information of a popular character ‘ disseminated respectng the history and position of this line. Those directly interested as Shareholders and Stockholders, generally make. the attempt, to Study and under- ‘ stand the Reports of Directors, however complicated and difficult ; but the initiated {pO’i‘tio‘u of 'our readers, if we' mistake ‘not, would find themselves beWildered, amid . the labynnth of tccbuccalities, with which such documents aboun.d._â€"- We shall briefly enumerate a few facts, in order to exhibit a connect- ed view of the subject. istencc of the Hincks Government, the scheme was first set on foot.â€" A prospectus was drawn up, set. ting forth the great that a Trunk line of R. would confer upon the Province, and holding out extraordinary in» 'ducemeuts to Acapitalists'to invest money therein. To the prospectus were attached, by way of guaran- tee, the names of the most promi- nent members of the Administra- tion of the day. Ten per cent was set down, as the rate of interest, that investors might confidently ex- pect to realize from the specular- 1 tion. English capitalists entered freely into the views laid down in the prospectus, and being anxious "to make the most of their: money, soon subSeribed the sum necessary to carry out the work. But let it "be here remembered that, before _ entering into it, they seutout agents ; to this country to inspect the route, and obtain all the information pos- sible prospects of the undertaking; and V they appear to have been perfectly. satisfied with the reports which This their agents made to them. fact sets at rest the question Of- boldingCanadiaus resyronsible for: the disappointment'tliat may" be felt from the present position of affairs. Had English Shareholders and Stockholders subscribed their 1 money solely on the authority ofCa-. nadians, and the promises held out had not been realized, then might, there have been some ground for supposing that deception had been practised. But such has not been the case. The English agents and the Canadian authorities, from the same data, arrived at similar con- clusions, namely, that the invest- ment would be highly remune- rative. The best engineers were employ- ed to superintend the work, and miles of railroad have been con- structed in the most complete and permanent manner in the Short space of about six years. The gi- gantic bridge at Montreal completes an unbroken line, from the ox- tremc west of Canada to the sea coast A traffic amounting to £25! per mile per week would be necessary in the year 1853, during the err-- advantages ' Road rHough.bJupp,............. . . . respecting the reasonableI to produce 10 per cent on the bond- ed capital. Prior to the opening of the Montreal Bridge,it amounted to £10pcr mile per week. Since the bridge has been opened the re- turns have risen to £12 103. per mile per week, or about one-half what was originally contemplated. The bond interest due in July last was not paid ; and in consequence there is a possibility that the work- “ing of the road may be stopped with very short notice. We say possibility, for we do not think it at all probable that such an event will occur. The variety andexteut of the interests at stake, the ruinous consequences to thousands in this country, that would result from its stoppage, will, we trust, induce the consummation of arrangements to keep it Open. But notwith- standing the present embarrased state of the Grand 'l‘runk Company, in spite of the fact the returns do not now nearly come Up to the ori- ginal expectations ; and that in- vestors do not yet realize a large percentage on their money; still the great work has been completed. Competent judges do nothesrtate to assert that the line will essentially realize all that could ever have been reasonably expected from it, and that it will pay a reasonable profit on the outlay. 1f speculators do not make fortunes, the country at least will reap benefits that can- not easily be overrated. ,VVe now possess the longest and best con- structed railroad in the world ; the pride and boast of Canadians, while it is the envy of our Ameri- can neighbors. That it possesses the recuperativc power within it- self to raise it ere long to a state of prosperity, cannot be doubted. The London Economist thus concludes an article on the suubject: “ll “ can be shown that in reality the “ enterprise has in it all the ele- “ cuts Of rapid recovery and solid “progress; and it icon also be “ shown that there are no very for- “midable difficulties to be over- " come in order to arrive at these “ agreeable results.” H4 Cricket; ON Saturday, the 27th ult.,a friendly match was to have been played be- tween eleveu of the Aurora and Six- teen ofthe Springbill Cricket Culubs, at Mr. Christisou’s, Oak Ridges.” ThevAurora Masonic Band was in attendance, as also were the mem- bers of the Aurora club; but from some. unexplained cause the Spring- hill club did not come, which was a great disappointment and sur- prise, but as there was no help for it, the Aurora Club deter- I mined to have a game amongst themselves and a few other persons, so 9 of a side was quickly chosen, and a very Spirited game was played ; after which they adjourned to an excellent din- ner, which had been provided by Mr. Christison' for the occasion. The Aurora Band played some beautiful tunes in first-class style, during the intervals of playing.â€" The following is the score :â€" l‘llts'l‘ INNXNGS. Barnes, run out,.............. .

Our Juvenile Cricketers. A very spirited and closely contest- ed mateh at Cricket writs played on the afternoon Of Saturday, October 27, between two parties, of eleven each, chosen from among the junior cricketers of Richmond Hill, by Masters W. G. Falcoubridgc and John R. Teefy. The day,though ra- ther cold, was, on‘ the whole, very favorable, and the _ ground, (the Richmond Hill ' Fair Ground,) was in firstâ€"rate. condition for play. Messrs. C. Bannister and W. S. Pollock were chosen as um- pires, and the score was kept by Mr. D. Cameron. The batting, bowling and fielding, was highly creditable to the youthful players; and though it is hardly fair to make distinctions, we cannot be accused of partialily when we notice that the play of Masters I‘Iartuey, Lee and Arkscy, was excellent, and called forth repeated plaudits from their respective sides, and from all the spectators. The rising genera- tion is growing up to be a genera- tion Of cricketers; and when the “ EleVen of all England ” cross the sea again, they will have to look well to their laurels. It will be seen from the appended score that the winning eleven have not a very large majorigy, and the unsuccess- ful party have no reason to be ashamed of such a defeat: FALCONURIDGE’S ELEVEN.

DEAR Sin: A Game of Crrcket,be- tween eleven of the Aurora Club and sixteen of the Springbill Club, was to have been played at h’Ir. Christison’s Hotel, Oak Ridges, on Saturday last.â€" Owing to the misrepresentations 0f the person who sent the challenge to the Aurora eleven, (who, by the way, had no right more than that of officiousness to do so), the Game didnot come off; notwith- standing that Mr. Christison had, at his own expense, provided a new ball which was to be given to the victors in the game by Mr. C. At ten, a.m. the Aurora eleven havng arrived at the ground, and, after waiting some little. time, proceeded according to the established laws of Cricket to pitch the wickets, which being accomplished they still waited, but in vain for the Springlrill sixteen. But, alas! not one of them appeared. , The. only one, as far as I can learn, of the Springhill men was M r. J. Bates who, very handsomely placed his conveyance at the service of the Aurora men, he being at the time on his way to Newmarket; but hearing the way that the Aurora men, together with Mr. C. were used, he very handsonely turned his horses round and joined the Aur0ra men in playing a friendly game amongst themselves. Before I cIOse, I must say a word to Mr. Christison. Thanks are empty words, but the Aurora men cannot help in joining with me in saying, that in Mr. C. they met that day a gentlemen and courteous host. A most sumptuous dinner was pre- pared by Mr. C., and heartin enjoyed by all present. Yours Truly. A CRICKETEP. Aurora, Oct. 31, 1860.

About one o’clock in the morning, the sky which had been previously clear in a certain measure, became overspread with clouds, and a heavy drenching rain began During the previous day there had beena slight drizzling which maintained all and everything in a state of gentle irurnidity. But this morning the streets, which were already in a very muddy condition, became a perfect slough in some places, under the operation of the inces- sant rain. As the morning advanced, the thoroughfares leading to the town present- ed a spectacle Of unusual activny, and a large number of persons came over from the opposite side of the river. 13y nine o’clock, the avenues leading to the gaol were swarming with an eager throng wad- ing through mud up to the ankleâ€"dire destination of all being the prison. As many as could get. umbrellas did so, and those who could not were content to abide the storm. The sky every moment as- sumed a more gloomy appearance, and the rain streamed down more- and more pili- hssly. \Vhen I arrived at the gaol, the yard was already crowded with an as- sembly, who, with a mer'rirnent hideous when contrasted with the occasion, were jostling and pushing one another in tbei anxiety to secure a place at the best point of view. The morbid curiosity which is generally manifested on these occasions was here abmrdantly evident. Slris un- seemly spirit led women as well as men, in large numbersto the spot. To dojus- lice, however, to the inhabiyrnts of the town and district of Three Rivers, the number of those who surrounded the scene of execution, (about 2,000) nrust have been exceeded, as far as‘l could judge, by the number of those who decently re- mained at home. The pitiless rain may heve had something to do with this, but still it is a creditable fact to which it is pleasing to bear witness. THE PASSAGE TO THE GALLOlVS. Shortly after 11 o’clock the process of pinioning the convict commenced in the cell which he had been Occupying. The hangman was rather a short, stout man, with blackened features, and wearing a black veil. As he was pinioning the pris oner, the latter said-â€"â€"“ you are pinching me too soon ; you are about to commit a nrurder, and you are commencing too soon.” He also said to Mr. Ginnis, the gaoler, ’that they should take care of his portman- Itcau, as it contained $20, which sum of money they were to send to his brother Lorenzo. The Sheriff had the key of it. He had told the Sheriff in the morning that this money, if his brother did not want. it, would be sufficient to defray the expense of transporting his remains to his birthplace, in Melbourne, near Richmond. Being prepared for the scaffold, he was conducted by the executioner and turnkeys from thecell through the adjoining cor- ridor- and hall, and up the-7 stairs . along the passage to the door leading to the drop. As they walked along, the marked con- trast between Braincrd and the execution- er was very striking. The latter, with downcast glance, trembling and shaking in every limb; the former striding with a firm and haughty step, towering high above his executioner, and looking around with a fiercely proud '_'and unmoved countenance. He had allowed his beard (of a reddish colour) to grow to a great length, with the intention, I believe, of disguiSrng him‘ self, before he returned to this country in autumn last. His eyes were slightly blood- shot; be advanced rapidly, and was soon at the open door from which he first 0b- tairred a view of the vast multitude below. Ile here observed to the gaolerâ€"“ Please to pull down my hat, as the wind may blow it Off.” .AT THE GALLOWS. Having stepped through the door on to the plaform, he faced the crowd With a steady, fixed gazo. The Rev. 0. Caron, one of the Roman Catholic clergyrnen, standing in the rear, cried out several times in a loud and distinct voiceâ€"“ Hum- ble yourself and repent! Humble yourself and repent! Prepare for the world to which you are going! In ten minutes you will be there! The Prisoner preserved an unbroken silence, not taking the slightest notice of the priest’s earnest exortation, but survoying the. crowd with a searching and unflinching gaze. The. Sheriff, observâ€" ingithrs solicitude, stepped forward with an exhortation. He sardâ€"~“ Say your prayers, and when you have finished and are ready to dieâ€"not before-wopen your hands.’ The prisoner then said, in a loud clear voiceâ€"“ I once learned the Lord’s prayer, I think I recollect the most of it. He then repeated rapidly the Lords prayer; and when he had concluded, he added. “ This is as near as I can recollect it.’ The Sheriff then asked him if he had no other prayer to offer. that I have, I have prayed to the General Government. I recognize no other.’ The Sheriff urged trim to pray for the forgiveness of his crime, and lo acknow- ledge the justice of his sentence. The prisoner then turned half round towards the speaker, and in his hasty, impetuous way v said, “I cannot see the justice of it. Here I am, a man who has practiced virtue all his life, and now at the end, I am to be murdered in this manner, in the presence of so many. It seems as if the Lord were protecting iniquity, instead of virtue. THE LAST SCENE. Dr. Badeaux then asked him if he would allow himself to be baptized. Tire prisoner answred in the same tone that he didn’t see the use of it. These dreadful sentiments chilled the hearts of all those around him. They saw that there was no hope of moving him, and the executioner received the signal to advance and do his work. A black cap was then pulled down over his face, the fatal apparatus was ad- ,justed, the eyes of the crowd were fasten- then heard to say in a lower tone than be lhad previously used, “ Strangers I am inno- ,ceut,’ when the drop fell, and the unhappy ;man was launched into eternety. It Was at first supposed that his death was instaneous, but‘thrs ‘Opinion‘was soon shown to be erroneous by the struggles of the dying man. ' The work- had been very awkwardly performed, as the noose was adjusted so inaccurately that he gasped fand gurgled for several moments. It was eight or nine. minutesbefore all. motion was stilled, and the body hung in- sensible. When life had been pronounced extinct by the gaol‘ physician, -‘the- body crowd’s interestive gaze. the last fatal moments had been decending _in torrents, completely dreneirrg the life- less and repulsrve remains of what had been but a few minutes previously a pea! of thunder rent the‘ air. Before leaving this harrowing scene it is painful to observe that the throng below behaved in a ml)an unseemly ma'rner when platform, at c-ne time ' betraying their’ eagerness for the catastrophe by a shout, of the solemnity of the scene passing be- fore their eyes, or a disposal to proft by it. '5 - ’0‘ TORONTO FALL ASSIZES. MONDAY, October v 29. Before Hon. Mr. Justice Richards. The Court opened at 12 o’clock. As the regular business of the court was cdn‘w‘ ed during the sitting of the Assizes were brought up to receive their ' SENTENCES; Cornelius Kane and Andrew Collarton, convicted of assaulting John King, on the 12th July last, were fined each $50. His Lordship in passing sentences said the prisoners at the bar had with a person of a different religions persuasion, on the night of the twelfth of .luly. They had asked him about King \Villiam, and this led to a disturbance. Such things taking place were liable to lead those belonging. to a different religions persuasion to the prisoners’, to consider that they were justi- ficd in keeping up such organizations as they belonged to. It was, indeed, a pity that such organizations should be perpe- would find that it would be far better if they would obey the law, and thus give those belonging to such societies no reason to think that their perpetuation was neceso sary. It was not desirable, in his opinion, that such things should be kept up in this country. to impress a fine he hoped would have the effect of preventing such offences being committed in future.
