Such is Our opinion on “the Orange difficullyf’ and now that our'guesls are- ui-pnrteil, instead of bickering and throwing dirt in each others faces, our own ihlei'est should lead us to bury what had better never have occurred, and set to and strive to reap all the ad- vantages we can from the increased knowledge that Britain and the WOrld will have of our climate and really. vast resources. Stieh, we say, is the course dictated to us by; self-interest. and‘pruden‘ce; but we fear from all we can learn that this our bounden duty will be disre- garded, and that-ti few madmen and political rogues are determined, for their own personal advantage, to scatter wide the seeds of discord amongst us, and to arouse the de- mon‘of seetional, political and reli- gious feuds, in order that in the ge- neral ruin they may come in; for ’a share ofthe spOil. First and fore- most amongst this class of unprin- ‘cipled men we place the Hon. G. Brown; for ever since the Prince landed on our shores he has done his utmosth create the disunion that now exists. Every step that was taken by the Prince was criti- cized in the most violent spirit; not a procession could be formed, but a‘visit could be paid,.not even a drivecould‘ be taken, but what the “Globe construed as an instill by Ca- tholic Lower Canadians to Upper Canada; Protestantism; and al- though most of his sensation articles were proved to be false, yet he re- tracted not, his Object evidently be- ing lo‘creale an inlenSe feeling of hostility against Lower Canada, in order that his absurd and ruinous dis‘iiiiion projects might receive an additional impulse; and as the re- sult of this unprincipled agitation we: get an Orange Bull, which llii'ealoiis,'on behalf of that body, 'a course of action which, if carried out by them, instead of hurling their enemies will wound them- selves. The. most. prominent actor in this Bull is Mr. D’Arcy Boullon, who only becomes a patriot because the GOvernment of the day refused to buy him at the high figure which his self-eslecm had set upon him- self. Then J. H. Cameron is also chalking out a path for himself, and in many respects an abier or better politic‘a‘l leader could not be wished for; yet we v'ai‘n him that never can he become a political leader standing solely on an Orange pedesâ€" tal, for late elections have. proved beyond- doubt that Orangemen do not Walk to the polls mmasse, and even if they did, they are not powerful enough of themselves, ISO- laled and alone, to elect a Caudi~ date; therefore for Orangemen to combine; together and act as a dis- tinct party, is the most suicidal course that could possibly be adopted ; and above all,lo make the late action of the Duke of New- castle a pretext for such a course isa most. ridiculous farce; for we have read attentively all the evid- ence that has been adriuced,aud for the. life of us we cannot see how the Government can be. either praised or blamed for anything done by the ' Duke.

It may be very advantageous to do so but. we do think that to make the Prince’s visit and the Orange quest-ion a, pretext for breaking up this or any ministry, is all nonsense. as there are other and more importâ€" ant issues betorcvlhe country, such for instance as our present relations Willi the Lower Province, a Bank- rupt Law and many other points. which successfully to unravel and place on a satisfactory basis, may require new men at the helm Of af- fairs; but to turn out; the ministry simply because the Duke would not walk under an Orange arch, is far- cial inthe cxtreme,aud seriously to agitate such a question, is exceedv ingly puerile, If new- oom=bina~ lions are to. arise, and new parties to be fori’nod, let them announce themselves as. the exponents of some great principle, or advocate some sort of worthy policy. bet. them by the Duke of Newcaslle, appear determined, if possible, to, llltfl'.“ grapple with the really grpat Mr. PINGLn, that the Clergy I’ve-serve ,__.._â€"_. _â€"___.__._______â€"___.___â€"â€"â€" AND BLIND.â€"On Friday evening, the 2nd insl., a very large and in- fluential meeting was held at the Mechanics I’lall,’l{ichmond Hill, to M the above institutionâ€"Amos wright, Esq, M.P.P., cecupiea the chair.‘ -I)r. ,Morrie and the teacher, Mr. McMann, briefly ad- dre d the meeting on behalf of the institute, and urged upon all present the duty of contributing to- wards its support, and also showed the necessity there was for govern- ment aid; and two deaf and dumb pupils exercised themselves very ei'edilably on the.

We: are, indebted to Mr. John Lovell, of Montreal, for Andrew Bell’s translation of “F. X. Gar- ncau’s History Of Canada;” there are three volumes, neatly bound, well printed, and on good paper; the enterprise of Mr. Lovell in so far as the mechanical part is in question, is deserving of great praise. We have read several chapters of the work, as also the “ Editor's Preface,” and consider it our duty, as journalists, to express our opinion fairly upon the merits of the work, as a translation. We. find Mr. Bell “states in his _“ preface “that “ in a number of “places, some of his (Mr. Gar- “.neau’s) sentences have ,bcon “abridged, in order to bring the “volumes within a reasonable com- “ pass, nO-lcss than to make room for “illustrative matter; which latter “ is, for the mostparl, appended in “supplementary foot notes, or in “addition to the author’s own “ notes. In both these cases, an “initial. B superadded, plainly “shows the amount of material for “which the translating editor “ alone is responsible. “ have been iiilercalalcd with the authors textual - matter; but in nearly all such instances, bracket- marks [ ] define, typographi- “cally, tne limit of sentences for “ which the editor needs to claim “,iudulgence. lteadersacquainled “ with M. Garneau’s Histotre, and “ who may happen to compare the “ present translation of it, page by “ page, with the original, will dis- “ cern at sight the several retrench- “ merits of its exuberances which “have been ventured upon, as “ above indicated, in a good many “pages; not only so, but in a few ‘ chapters some substitutionary ‘ matter of a more exact or more “complete, or more succinct cha- " racter, occupying the place of M. “ Garneau’s.” We ai'elof opinion that the public would prefer, as we ourselves would, a correct transla- tion of the work as it. came from the author, without “retrenchment of the exuberances ” (?) or the “ sub- stitutionary matter” of the transla- tor. It may be that the translator has improved. M. .Garueau’s work by introducing it to the English reading public in the altered shape which he states, but we are not convinced of it, and therefore re- gret that Mr. Bell (lid not give the public an English translation of “ Garneau’s Htstb'irc du Canada ” complete. t.‘ .6 it >94 Markham Council.

The following letter gives some parti- culars of the part played in the Battle of Voltui'no by Brigadier Dunn, in whom Canadians feel special interest :--â€" NAPLES, Oct. 5. Hall a mile from St. Angelo, on the road to Capita, which is flanked on both ;sides by a thick wood, and again on the right by the Volturno, a battery of two guns (IQ-pounders) had been constructed lon on night of the 30th September, by ;lhe 3rd battalion of the brigade belonging llo Brigadier Dunn, who had arrived with ‘his column from Messina two days previ- . ouslv. This was, therefore, the extreme. outpost of Garibaldi’s army. The guns which had been brought up the mountain in rear of St. Angelo opened fire on the Neapolitans, who replied vigorously with shot and shell, and the Zouaves of Dunn's brigade, under Major Wyndham, were then extended along the banks of the river to annoy the enemy’s artillerymen, and again reinforced by another battalion from the same brigade. From the right and left of the battery, on the road to Capua, the battalions protected the front, and thus only left one in reserve at the battery. At half-past four o’clock the Neapolitans marched out and attacked the whole of the line, concentrating most of their strength on St. Angelo, and at- tacking the outposts in force. For five hours Dunn and his brigade resisted their continued efforts, sending in vain for sup- port, which was not at hand, retiring: from tree to tree, and again charging forward with the bayonet, now and then the guns from the battery ploughing through the enemy as they endeavoured to concen- trate. About 11 o‘clock the battle was lmost sanguinary, continued fresh troops from Capua poured doWn shot, shell, and grape, and heavy platoon firing had cov- ered the ground with dead and wounded. , Dunn’s aide-(le-camp was killed, three majors wounded, and then the major of the 1st battalion fell dead. The colonel ofartillcry Was shot through the head,the enemy having filled the wood Willi their Swiss rifles, picking off the officers on all sides. Dunn was then forming up his men to retire into the battery, when a shot struck him in the side, and he. fell.â€"-â€"- The enemy now attacked on all sides, and rushed into the battery", shot and killed all there, and burned the Wounded. The chaplain,administering the last sacrament to a dying man, had his eyes cut out, and was then stabbed. Dunn had been luckily carried away by his men to the rear. At this moment -Garibnldi arrived- with fresh troops, and the battery was again re- taken. It was a complete victory all along the line, and the enemy retired with great loss. lost 900 killed and wounded, with 32 officers. I send you this as I was at St. Angelo, and you will doubtless have other particu- lars of the other part of the fight. l MACJS'I‘ERIAL DIFFICULTIES. (From the Spectator.) I l‘lie County of ‘Veltiworlll is in a fair way of obtaining a most uneiiviublo notoriety, as regards its Magistracy, for only the other day a verdict of guilty was rendered against two Magistrates on an alleged charge of extorting fees in acase of felony, the person charged being allowed to go without trial, in considera- tion of his paying costs. This case is not so bad as it has been represented, as evidently, it was at worst an error of judgement merely, the Magistrates in question not having profited by the paymoiit'of the costs. as was alleged. another case. and of' the must glaring do-«crip- tion. too,b‘as just came to our knowledge, in which the parties appear to have acted an ex~ traoroinary part, and for which they will pro- bably have their names struck from the Com- mission of the Peace. We have not the names of the earring Justices, but the-facts,” stated to us are as follows : At the June Quarter Sessions Of the County » of \Vontwortli, two man, named King and piece of carrioii iii a well, in the village of Woodburno. Both were convicted, and Dun. ham was sentenced to pay a fine of $100 and costs, or'to remain in jarl six months at hard abor, unless the fine and costs were sooner paid King was a mail of means, and Dunhaiii, a miserable creature, addictod to drinking, was induced to perpetrate the colon a promise made beriiig that if' any one woultl do so, he would give a gallon of whisky to the party. , After sentence was passed upon Duiihain, the County Attorney moved the Court for}udgemeiit against King, bill in compliance with the request of King’s Counsel, sentence was deferred till the following day. When the motion for judge- ment was renewed, it Was observed that, where- as only one magistrate had been present at the trial ahd assisted the Judge, on the day previ- ous, five additional Justices who had not heard the trial. were seated alongside his Honor. The counsel for the prisoner having addressed the Court, and expressed the hope, that as it was a take a merciful view and uotiiiflict a heavy tine upon his client. The Judge stated to his as- ‘ sociatos, that in conjunction with Mr. Hall, the Magistrate who sat. with him the day previous, he had made up his mind to inflict the. same fine or punishment on King as had been inflict- ed upon Dunham, and he and Mr. flail con- siderod King more culpable than Duiihani. His Honor was overruled, however, by the oth- er Magistrates, and the sciitonce‘passed upon King was, that he should pay a fine of $50, or go to jail three months unless the fine was paid Benig able, he paid the money on the spot, and thus escaped due punishment. The Judge immediaton stated that the judgement was not his, and that lie Was supported iii his opinion ‘ by one Magistrate on the Bench, Mr. Thomas Stock : but that the other gentlemen had out: voted them ; that he thought if King got off so easily, Duiiliam should not suf’t-br a seVerer punishment; therefore, he would represent the ' matter to His Excellency the Governor Gene- altered to correspond with King’s. His Honor was as good as his word, and in detailing the circumstance it became necessary to set forth how it was that there was so much difference between the sentences. A favorable, reply “as received. and also a demand upon the Judge for the names of the Magistrates who had differed from him in his opinion, and that having been complied with, the Magistrates have been called upon by the Government, to show upon what grounds they based their de- cision. The result we have not learned, bu So now you know why the Spring- ‘ . Iloping lllllS Will be satisfactory to the. gent whose lsignaturc is a Cricketer, but only as ficti- Dunn’s little brigade alone' But , Duiiliam. were indicted for having deposited at . case not likely to happen again, the Court should ' ral, in order that Duuham’s sentence might be ' presume it will and iii the removal of the (min; justices from the Conimipsion. This action on the part of the Government is commendable, and the country will be igratifiod to learn thus such conduct as we have shown on the part of fourhlagistrates of this county has not beau allowed to pass without an'inquiry. v THE P RES]: DE N'L‘I AL ELECT- ION. . New YORK, Nov. 6. Up to‘ noon, in the down town wards, nearly as, man-y votes were polled as all day last year No arrests for illegal Voting have been made. In consequence of anonymous letters threatening insurrectionin Virginia Gov- eriion Leteher has- ordered troops to" be ready to move nt-a moment’s notice. The Time's Washington correspondent says, at the special request of a numbei'y‘ prominent citizens of Georgia, the Govern- ment has placed the arsenal of Agtista in i possession of the fedral troops, and also, that the arsenal at Fayetlevillc, N. 0., is to be occupied by a company ofcavalry. PHILA DELI’HIA, Nov. '6.â€"'l‘ne' election is progressing quietly, and there will evi- deutaly be a small vote. ,Tliere is every probability of a large Republican plurality on the ticket. ' ' » Peterson’s Detector cautions the. public to refuse five dollar bills "on the \Vestern Bank of Philadelphia. .Over $5,000 in spurious bills have been recovered.

THE PRINCE’S BRIDE-â€"â€"TWO or three V day’s ago the telegraph brought the inforv mation that a paper published in Saxe C0- burg Gotha, announces the selection ofthe only daughter of the Grand Duke of Saxe Meiningen as the future wife of the Prince of \Vales. The ducal house of Sate Meiningen is a dynasty closely allied with that of Saxe Coburg Gotha, and the only daughter of the reigning Duke Bernard»,is the Princess Augusta Louise Caroline Ida, born on the 6th of August, 184-3, and there fore not quite two years younger ' than her prospective spouse. Her mother is a daughter of the late “’illiam III., Elector of IIesse Cassel. It is possible that the match has been arrangedâ€"-suhject, we hope, to the approval of Albert Ed- ward liimself-~by ,Queen Victoria and Prince Alb’crt,"during their recent visit to G-ermany.â€"Globc. » BOOK POST WITH ENGLJiNiLâ€"Thcro would appear to exist auiisrepresculation on the part of the public as regards the postal regulations governing the transmis- sion to England of Magazines, Pampbor. lets, a‘nd priit’ed matter of ,like halide. Many seem to suppose that the rate on Magazines, Beaks, &c.,. posted in Canada. and addressed to England is the same as though addressed to a destination in the .Province, and they proâ€"pay them accord- ingly by stamps at one cent per ounce only. This, however, is a mistake. Printed pub: licatioiis other than new‘spapers are fo‘r-a warded to England under what are termed " Book Post’ regulations. These regula- tions are controlled by the British PoSt- ofiice. 'l‘hey apply» not only to Canada, but to all the British Colonies. The pose tage rates laid down are as follow :â€"-- 7 cents on packets not exceeding 4 oz. in weight ; 1231,. cents on packets under l, lb., and 12.5 cents for each succeeding lb. - . ll The pmlage chargeable on a book pack- et must be pre-pazd by postage stamps, for ifposted unpaid,it cannot be forwarded to the United Kingdom. Persons mailing packages for England, would do Well to bear in mind these regulations. The Owen Sound Times says :-Mr. W'illiam Spencer, of Amabel, called upon us on VVetlnesday, and exhibited a specie men of chalk found in the bed of ‘5 Shallow Lake” in Keppel. This lake is-entirely dry in the summer -, covers about 600 acres and is about three feet deep in water. A, large creek falls into it from the north and a smaller one from the south. That at the north sinks into fissures in the rocks, and only floods over the bed of the lake apparently when the subterraneou‘s outlet ‘ cannot carry off all the water. Mr. Spencer states that the chalk lies in a tied under every portion ofthe lake, about fiv‘b feet in thickness»;- resting on a substratum of whitish clay. He. thinks it: has entirely formed by deposits left by'the waters of the lake, from the limestone held in solution. _ M William Hulder was tried at Kingston last Saturday upon a charge of murdering his» Wife. It wasproved that the deceased was a great drunkard, thatslie was intoxic 3 cated the night before her death, and that she had fallen down stairs, probably inflict- ing the wound upon her skul'. from the effects of which sht- died. The husband is a man of good character, and was fully acquitted of the charge against him.
