J. A. Macdonald was lately feasted at Hamilton, we might just as well see what he has said'lor himself and the.

A’s. remarks are, that the Duke of Newcastle V'as an ob- having his own, way, and did not come here to’receiv‘e any advice, either from Ministers or Opposition, and pretty plainly intimated that no party, either in power or out of power, led anyright whatever to interfere with him, as he was re,- sponsible only to the Imperial Go- vernment for what he did, and this the case; for the. Canadian Minis- try h'advneither the will nor the power to interfere with the Duke’s arrangements,and therefore to either praise or blame them for the Princes not landing at Kingston or any- where eIse,is supremely ridiculous; and we are only surprised to find that any intelligent set of men should take such a suicidal course as it seems the Orangemen are bent on takingâ€"not but that they have a right as a society, or as men, to supportor withold' support from any party'they choose, but still we are surprised that a sense of their own interest and "'s‘afetyydocs not shew 'tlienitliattliougli in conjunc- tion with others, they may in cer- tain Iocalitiesi’be pdwcrful, yet as a body they arethe very reverse of being formidable; .g‘w'i‘hat they are angry at the -Duke - does not sur» prise us ; but beCau‘s'e he can afford to laugh at their censure, it does not follow that blame is necessarily attached to our Provincial Govern- ment. Indeed our own opinion is, that had our Ministry had the power, Orangeism would have been officially recognised; but they had not the power in, their hands at all,and under all the circumstances, . we think it was quite as well they ' had not. But not content with passing a : vote of censure, on the Ministry, the Orangemen are going to lay their grievances at the foot of the throne. This may be alliright enough, but it is just possible thatthe remedy may be worse than the disease; for every article 't'lia‘t-‘we have read from English papers applaud the conduct of the Duke, and denounce that of “the Kingston (rowdies-”â€"â€" ' Therefore it is not at all likely that any redress will be given to Orange- ism from BritishStatesmen. To our mind the only wise course for Orangemen, atidi‘evreryi Canadian to pursue, is to “let bygones be bye- gones,’ to forget all that was un- pleasant ‘in the _Pi'ince’s visit, and remember only that the Heir to the throne of an Empire on which the sun never sets has visited us, and seen for himself that we have the “elements in Us of rising at no dis- taut day to be a great people ; that he Was followed" by’hundreds of on- terprising, thinking subjects and countrymen, who by means of the press will tell the world of- our end- , less forests, [that only‘ want the - strong right arrnto be made fruitful ficlds],and of our seaâ€"like lakes. In fine, our aim should be to prevent any evil, and to reap all the good We can'from- an event which forms an epoch in our history, and may, it wisely directed, be a sourCe to us of untold good in the future. >04 Dinner to Hon.

A KroxAPPING Cass IN ILLiNoxs.â€"- Two fellows, one of whom rejoices in the not very euphonious name of “Wincliers,” recently laid their plans to kidnap two ne- grocs residing in Kankakee, and sell them South. They forged a requisition pur- porting to be from the Gorernor of ttiis State, arrested a negro named Pitcher, and took him before a justice. Before the trial came on, howevor, they visited the) negro again, and under some pretence in- duced him to go with them in a carriage. They took the road for Peoria. On the route Pitcher managed to make his trou- bles known, and was detained at Galena until some news should arrive fro: Island kakee.

DE Moii'ru.zMBi;nr. “' La Roche en Breny, Oct. 22.” FAT“. Buacv Accummzâ€"On the evening ‘of Friday, Mr. John O’I'Iearn. proprietor of the " Lovojoy House," York-street. met with his death under most distressing circumstances, by being thrown from a buggy while passing along' .River-street. It appears that, along with a number of persons. he had been engaged dur- ing tlre~day in the removal of the remains of a; friend from St. Paul’s Church) ard to St. Mich- :ael’s Conictry. He returned on his way home ‘nftcr performing the melancholy duty. about dusk. accompanied by his father, in a buggy draWn by a spirited horse which he had either’ purchased. or was making arrangements to pur. chase. from a Mr. Murphy. About six o’clock Mr. O’Hearn drove his father to the Iatter’s‘ house on River-street. On their arrival at tho hon-so deceased left the animal standing on the to span-k to his mother. Finding that the ant; 'ni'al' wa’s becoming rather rcstive he kissed his- parouts and bade ‘tiiein “'good night.” His parents accompanied him to the door and saw him drive off at a rapid rate. half rat. six o’clock in the evening. A short he «fist-wards the horse was observed running: along King-street with a. portion of the vehicle attached to it. Some persons stopped it and' pllced it in a stable for sale keeping. In the' €ourse of the evening the brothers of Mn O’tlearn were informed that he had not re- turned home. and went in search of him. They fouiid‘tha- buggy near King-street, but being under the impression that their brother had gone“ to look for the horse, they gave up the search. Between six and sevmi o’clock on the morning of Saturday while a boy named Hugh Charlton’- ,who lives next door to Mr. O’anrn. sour... was going to his work he discovered Mr. O’Ilearn lying. in the middle of the street. cold‘ and s-itl‘. about two hundred yards from his' father’s house. T be head of deceased was- l-yiug in :1 pool of blood which had flowed from adcep cut over the left eye, and which wound was supposed. from its appearance, to havo‘ been inflicted by one of the feet of the horse. As there were a number of holes in the street‘ near whore the body was found, it is conj'ec-' tuied that while deceased was driving along ' the street the wheels of the vehicle had got into. one of these holes and Mr. O’Hearn was thrown violently out of the buggyon to the ground. and’ that the horse had struck him over the eye with one of his feet. There were also marks on tho body of the unfortunate man to indicate that the wheels of the vehicle had passed over him after he fell. Coroner Dug’gau' held an inquest, on the body on Saturday foranoon, at Mm. .Biiriis’ tavern. corner of Don and River-streets when Hugh Charlton, who found the body, the‘ father of deceased. and others were examined. The purport of the evidence adduced is given above; It was also elicited that deceased was 'net under the influoiicn 0t quunr‘wlien he'lbe his father’s-house previous to the fetal occur; Tho jury returned a. verdict of " accio doiitalrdoath.“ Mr. O’llrearn leavos a wife and' small family to lament his nutimolv and; It is» rather roiiinrkable that orr the day of iris death. and while in St. Michael’s Ceinotry, he made arrangements for the purchase of two buriuli lotus-Globe ' George Willsoni. u‘littlé boy about two years old, son of George VVilI‘son' of the Old Survey.- King. f came to his death on Friday last from the effects of a large piece of potaioc getting: into his windpipe.’ Duct Sriioo'rixo Eil'RAORDlNARY.â€"Oll Sac turduy the lovers of game were gratified with a. fine‘ display of specimens of the feathered tribo‘ i'n onto of the stores in Strahau's buildings.

A project is talked of for preventing the floods of the Mississippi, by doing for that: great river what nature does for the St. Lawrence. The Canadian ri-ver,as is well known, never overflows, because the great lakes through which it passes absorb all the superabu-nd-an-t waters, and maintain it ale ways at the same level Hence,it is thought that by forming. large reservoirs on the up‘ per course of the Mississippi, where the country is favorable, a similar effect will be produced. It is a grand scheme, not beyond the pmver of modern enterprise; and as for the cost, the saving by prevoni- tion. of floods for three years only would repay it. . ,_ street and went into the house fora few niinutfi‘fi- This was ubou t” -q.
