Robinson, of Whitby The Sheriff spoke with great plea- suie of the fact that everythhing from'the first had gone on with en- tire satisfaction. No difficulties had arisen between himself and his con- tractors, and each party seemed anxious to do his part of the work in thevery best manner. It is with gr'atilicatiunwe refer to the superior manner in which the joiner work has been; done, because that part has beerrdone by a Whitby Mechanic, and in a style that has not been ex- celled, elsewhere on the continent. We learn that no accidents have occur- red about tlre building since the commen- cement of the work; no one has been burt‘,andithere has been no quarrel among the hands employed about the premises, thoughtthey generally numbered from 15 ton at a time. . The Sheriff attributed these happy results to the fact that he had from the first stipulated with the contrac- tors that no liquor should be used on the premises. Contractors and others employ- ing men should take note of this import- ant fact, and avail themselves of the lesson which it conveys for future use. The grounds about the Sheriff’s resr' deuce are yet of course in a crude state, but during the past winter he had trans- planted around it some 100 trees at a cost of $ASA. Some of the trees cost $16 to $20in piece. They were brought front the rear of the township with a large quantity of the surrounding earth frozen to them. When put in order the grounds will undoubtedly be on a scale of elegance and magnificence corresponding with the residence they are to adorn. 'rrra momma REVOLUTION. Vl'asarsororv, Aug. 12. Tire Heralds correspondence says the General Anderson arrived here this even- ing. fie Stems to be in very poor health. Several weeks ago one of our consuls abroad expressed the opinion that Gari- baldi would visit thrs country and command a column of Union forces, if the present cri~is of the Government would indicate that his Services were needed. There being no official information on the subject of course the President could take no offi- cial action, but it is understood that he has taken measures for ascertaining if Gari- baldi would accept a command if offered hint._and if so has authorized parties to express to him the great gratification it would afiord the President to witness his return to the United States and see him at the head of a column of our troops. On Saturday last, Lieutenant Budd, commanding the steamer Resolute, cleared out one of the Cenfedcrate depots on the Potomac. It has been known for some time that Herring Cree.k,on the Maryland side, and llIachodock Creek, opposite, on. the Virginia side, were the depots for Mary- land recruits for the Confederate army in Virginia. Tlrthesolute having approach- ed within 300 yards of the shore Of the Creek, was fired on with musketry. A boat was immediately lowered, and Lieut. Budd, with 12 men landed. The Confde- rates tied at their approach and were pur- sued for a mile, but made their escape. Papers containing important information were found in the buildings which were de- stroyed, and ten ‘ contrabands’ found on the premises. They were brought awav after leaving the creek. Lieut. Budd learned from the negroes that there were 300 of the Confederates concentrated at the Hague, about five miles back from the river, and that their ferry boat was about threequarters of a mile up the creek meeting the schooner Dana. He tack lrer guns and crew upon the Resolute,and placing the uegroes in charge of two men .of the Dana, he went up the creek and capttued a large boat capable of carrying 25 or 30 men, but saw nothing of the Confederates. After reporting the circum- stanzcs to Commodore Craven, the latter sent an expedition last night: to Herring Creek,and a number of boats were capâ€" tured there. The Confederates are'evi'a dently hard pressed for provisions. .â€" S'r. LOUIS, Aug. 13. Rumors are current on the street, in which some reliance is placed, that Gen. Lyon’s Command in the Southwest has been totally routed by the Confederates, the General hirnSelf being killed, and General Seigel was in full retreat with the remnant of the Federal force. This information is said to have been received by the seces- siorrists last evening, the messenger who brought the news having killed 4« horses lietween Springfield and Bella, in hrs haste to outstrip ,the Government messenger. 11 is also stated that Gen. Fremont re- ceived dispatches last night, about midnight: corroborating the above, but the contents have. not yet been divulged. Great anxiety is felt by the Union men lrere,and the most serious apprehensions are indulged in for the safety of our army. We will probably get something reliable on the arrival of the train to-night. St. Louis, August 13. The following is the official report of the light near Springfield on Saturday last, as furnished by one of Gen. Lions’ aids to Gen. lr‘remontzâ€" ‘ Gen. Lyon in three columns under him- self, Gen. Seigel and Major Sturges, of the cavalry, attacked the enemy at half- past six on the morning of the 10th, nine miles south-east of Springfield. The en- gagement was severe, our loss being about 800 killed and wounded. Gen. Lyon was killed in a charge at the head of his column. Our force was 8,000, including 2,000 Home Guards. 1 i'i'lre muster rolls reported taken from the enemy gives his strength'at 23,000, in- cluding regiments from Louisana, Missis- sippi and Tennessee, with Texas.

I The following additional account of the NEVV battle near Springfield is furnished by an eye '. '- ‘ . witness who lert Springfield on Sunday tnorn- BUILDIBGS' ing. and came through to this place on horse- back. Our army marched out of Springfield on Fri- day evening, only _5,500 strong. The Home Guards remained in Springfield: Our forces slept on the p airie a portion of the night, and about sunrise, Saturday morning, drove in the outposts of the enemy. and soon afterwards the engagement became general. ' The attack was madein two columns by Gen Lyon and Gen. Sturges,Goneral Seigol leading 3. flanking force of about 1.000 men’ and four guns, on the south of the enemy‘s camp. The fight raged from sunrise in the morning until one or two o’clock in the afternoon. The rebels ,iu overwhelming force charged Captain Tot. ten’s battery three several tithes. but were re- pulsed with great slaughter. General Lyorv feliteorlv in. the day He had been previously woundediu the leg. and had a horse shot from under him. The Colonel of one of the Kansas regiments lhavipg become disabled, the boys cried out. Geneiai, you come and lead usâ€"ho did 'so. and INTELLIGENCE from Ottawa makes it quite certain that the public build- ings in that city are rapidly ap- proaching completion; and those rumors that have. been gomg the rounds of the papers, to the effect that they had not risen above the level of the ground, and Ifurther- more, that it was not the intention of government to complete them at all, are entirely without foundation. Ottawa, whether it is the best place or not, is certainly destined to be- come the capital of united Canada. unless some. unforeseen circum- stance should arise t.o interfere with existing arrangements. There has, however, without doubt, been no small degree of oversing on the part of the arcititechby which these buildings will cost the provrnce, in the shape of eattras, several thou- sands of pounds more than they at once pumice: himself in front. and while cheering the men on the charge,recorved a bul- let in the left breast and fell from his horse. He was asked if he was iltlliflilld he replied, no not much, but in a few minutes he expired without a struggle. General Seigel had a very severe struggle and lost three of ‘ltrs four guns. his artillery flufqu Their- teuts andi were shot in their harness, and the pieces dis- abled. He endeavoured to haul thorn offwith a number of prisoners he had taken.‘but was finally compelled to abandon them. first how- ever piking thorn and disabling the carriages. About one o’clock in the day, the enemy seemed to be in great disorder, and retreating set fire to their train of baggage waggotts. Our forces were too much fatigued and cut up to pursue them, and the bottle may be considered a drawn one. . On Saturday night Dr. Marcher and others of our army went back with ambulances to the battle-field from Springfield, to see about the killed and wounded. They found the enemy on the field, and were considerater treated.â€" Gen. Lyon's body had been treated with great respect, and was brought back with some of the wounded to- Springfield. Major Sturges took command on the battle- field after the death of Gen. Lyon. (zen. Soigol. took command after the battle Our loss is variously estimated at from 150 to 300 killed, and several hundred wounded. The enemy’s loss is placed at 2,000 killed and wounded, Our boys captured about 1-00 horses. One of . the enemy’s regiments carried two fibgsâ€"the Confederate and the Stars and Stripes. Gen, Seigel marched back to Springfield in good order. After perfecting his arrangements. gathering his baggage,blowing up what powder he could not carry. and destroying other uro- pertv which he did not wish to fall into the hands of the enemy. he left Springfield on Sunday night, and eucamped tirirty miles this side of that placeâ€"tire enemy not pursuing. The only hostility observed during the day was firing muskets from a distance at the rear guard. Gen. Seigel was confident that he could have held Springfield against the force they had engaged. but he was fearful of reinforce- ments to the enemy from the south-west. and that his line of communication to Rolla would be cut off. _ Gen. Lyon began the attack upon the re- ceipt of intelligence that the enemy ware ex- pecting reinforcements from Hardee’s column, which was approaching from the south-east. A portion of the artillery of the enemy was admirably served; their infantry fire was also l lsovcre. . ‘ Tire Springfield Home Guards were apt to the fight.

The shavings, dry lumber, and wonder! materials in the building, wore just adapted to a rapid fire, and in B very short time the whole wasin ashes. We understand that everything was burned that the building containedwtools, lumber, &.c. We have not heard what the loss is, but it cannot be less than two or three thousand dollars, The general opiuiorr is that there was no insurance on the property, though we have not been able to learn with a certainty that soon was the fact.

Whe- rbis oversight has been inten- ther in . not, is exceedingly diffi- tional or . cult to determil‘e- so far as to assert W freely hinted at in magly quarters, that the plans were mtetlltonally drawn up, as they have been, for the purpose oftnrowing Into the hands of the contractors the profits arising from the extras; which will be much greater than those from the original contract. But it does cer- tainly appear strange that an archi- tect would, in originating destgns for such extensive buildings, run the risk of injuring his professronal reputation, by committingsuch glaring blunders as they containme- less he were well paid for the sacri- fice. Practical builders who have carefully examined the plans, state that in some cases, for example, heavy partition Walls are indicated, while no supports are provided to sustain them. in other places win- (lows are made to appear in the elevations, where walls, chimneys, or other obstacles would interfere with their construction; ,and so on throughout the whole building, exhibiting what is the result either of gross carelessness or of a still more culpable intention. HoWever, public works are proverbial for costing at least double their real value ; and there is every probabi- lity that the government buildings will not be an exception to the rule. The extra cost being under, the cir- cumstances, unavoidable, must be met with as good a grace as pos- sible. The government have pushed on the works with commendable zeal,- the contractors have not been idle, and there is everv Probability that the buildings will be ready for occupation within the time specified in the contract. WWW THE CROPS-«~13 SUGGESTION. ACCOUNTS from various parts of the country lead to the conclusion, that the wheatcrnp of the present year- will be considerably below an aver- age yield. The midge. weevil, rust, and frost have each contrr. buted their blighting influence to- wards the destruction of the fall crop. in the western counties the damage has been very serious, \jlzt\\jll:anz:§: fwhere,hy the introduction of foreign hay and: spring crops are in geneé ral good ; and taking into conside- ration the fact that more attention has recently been paid to spring. wheat, it may be‘talten for granted . that the aggregate loss throughout the country will- not be so serious as present prospects would indi~ cate. The root crops in general promise well, although there are unfavorable accounts from a few localities respecting the appearance of potatoes. in the county of‘ Wentworth the rot has made its ap- pearance; and 11] Leeds its rava- ges are also apparent in the fields of blackened potato-tops; but for- tunately the tract of country in which the disease has made its ap- pearance is not extensive. Fruit will be almost an entire failure,and we will be obliged to depend, in a great measure, on the Americans for our winter supply. _ Therll success that has attended the cultivationof wheat for many years past, has fortunately had the effect. of directing attention to the importance of paying greater atten- tion to the’ rearing. of stock. The high price’ and ready mark-ct that wheat commands has given’ undue prominenCe to its culture, to the al- most total neglect of this equally important. and at the present time, more lucrative branch of agricultu- ral industry. Now,we think a very little reflection will convince far- mers that this is a very serious mistake; and a simple regard for their own interests. demands for it greater consideration. We are convinced that,wit'.1 the best breeds, the raising of stock will prove much more profitable and less precarious than that of wheat ; and we are not without good authority to support the opinion. Let us take into con- sideration the amount of labor and expense bestowed on an acre of fall wheat, and compare the cost with the average yield for the past ten years, and we venture to say our posrtion will be sustained. It must be recollected, in making the cal- jenlation, that a crop of wheat is not the product of a single year. Peas are frequently made to precede wheat, in which case the peas and wheat together form the produce of two' years. Or whrn the land is prepared by following, a field of wheat is the entire yield in two years. i~t-~must also be taken into account, that the constant cultiva- tion of wheat tends rapidly to re- duce the productive qualities of the land, and to depreciate its value. Hence we see -tov’vnships~' in. our own vicinity, once famous for the richness of their soil, which at the (present time will not produce any- thing like the same quantity of grain per acre as formerly, even in cases where very little injury has been sustained from weevil or midge. The labor of feeding cattle is but trifling. , We can always find a ready market at our own doors without even the trouble of sending- to market- Our market has of late Western States, tent from the varieties, and careful attention to the sorts best suited to the climate, large fortunes have been realized in a few years. l'f'some ofour intelli- gent farmers Would: make a careful calculation of the comparative ad- vantages1 to be derived fran the cul- tivation of wheat, and the roaring of stock, information of the most valuable character would thus be secured, and a lasting benefit conâ€" ferred on the farming community. We shall be happy at any time to give publicity to the result of in- vestigations of this kind, that any Of our readers may send us. it would form a very appropriate sub- ject of enquiry for our agricultural associations.

The following condemnatOry resolutions were passed at the last quarterly meeting of the Board of Local I’reichers, Class Leaders, Stewards ofthe Whitby Circuit, held at Whitby on the 3rd inst’:â€"-. Moved by Bro. Geo. Flint, seconded Resor’eed, Firstly, That this meeting re- agrets deeply certain suggestions contained ,in the Confcrrence address of the present sycar, wherein among other objects to be secured, it is recommended totl‘r‘e brethren as with one heart to elect those men to the Legislative Assembly, and those only, who will exert themselves to the utmost. with- out respect to' party in other matters, to promote University Reform and the equal rights of all colleges according to their works, irrespective of their denomination” because, while this meeting readily admits that reform in the management of the University of Toronto is eSsentially neces- sary, still, there are other matters in which, as members of the body politic, the members of the Wesleyan Methodist Church are deeply interestedâ€"there are abuses to be remedied, reforms to be prompted, and interests to be protected, which in the opinion of this meeting, are of equal importance to those referred to in the ‘Confcrencc Address, and which re- quires us to act in co-opperation with those of our fellow subjects who may differ from us in regard to University reform. Resolved, Secondly, That such a con- demnation as that referred to in the Conâ€" ference Address can only be justified on the principle that those to_ whom the re- commendation is made are capable of judging for themselves as to how the elective franckise ought to be employed, or what degree of prominence ought to be given to the various questions agitating the public mind ;-â€"-an inference which this quarterly meeting most distinctlyrepndiates believing as it does that the members of the Wesleyan Methodist Church are just as capable ofjudging, us any ecclesiastical body can be, as tolrow they ought to vote and as to the kind of-men they ought to Sirngt, in reference to those political questions in Which they have ascomrnon in- terest with all those who wish to see the country well and properly governed; and for these reasons, ifffor; no other, this meeting IS compelledto express its opinion that the recommendation contained in the Conference Address was exceedingly in- judicious and ill-timed. and" if acted upon . universally by the Wesleyan Methodist Church, would in‘ many instances have compelled them to form politicalt atl-iances . of the most disgraceful character, or, on the other hand, not to vote at all. Resolved, Thirdly, That while we are willing, as members of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, to accede to any re- commendation made 'by the Conference in . matters of discipline or of doctOrine. so long as that recommendation rs according to, and agreeable with the teaching of God‘s Holy Word, yet we cannot nay, will not suumrt for a single moment to Conference interference with our civil pri- vileges as a treee and in dependent people. Resolved, Fourtlrly, That while we admit the justice and propriety of the claim set up for a division of the surplus funds of the iniversrty at Toronto amongst all classes of Her Majesty’s subjects in this Province, we have no idea of sacrificing greater and more important principles for the accom- plishment of such division.

COLLISION BETWEEN THE MI- LITARY AND POLICE. From the lobe of Wednesday. Last evening a collision took place be..- tweeu a number of men belonging to the 30th regiment and the police, on Queen- street, about nine o’clock last night, which appeared at one time to be attended with serious results. It seems that while a man named Elias Ycow was walking on Queen- street, near, College AVenue, Sergeant White and a number of soldiers of the 30th regiment came along. , Some words passed between the parties and the serge- ant, who is said to have been under the in- fluence of liquor, pushed Yeow off- the side-walk and assaulted him. Yeow went lirr search'of the police, and at the cornea. ‘of Bummerâ€"street met constable Healy and informed him of what had taken place. :lrlealy went to the spot where the soldiers ‘were standing. at short distance down the street, and )(eow having pointed out the nun. who had assaulted him, Healy went forward to him and asked his name. In- ;Stead 0i rt’P'rsin-g to the question the ser- ,gean,-bef0re T’l'Ble was aware, struck him a severe blow and knocked him- down. Healy who was an: old soldier himself, was Speedin on his'feet, but was again knocked (War, and the sergeant ran ofi at a rapid ‘pace up the street, closely followed by Healy: The Constable sounded his whis tie for assistance, and near St.~ Patrick’s Market, Constable Archibold‘ joined in the pursuit and the sergeant was soon in custody. By this time a'large crowd had collected, and instead of- assisting the Po- lice, they incrted the soldiers torcscu‘e their r‘ron-corrnnissioned officer. Tire soldiers urrstrapped their belts and rushed on the Police, but did not succeed in rescuing , their comrade. At this tune several stones were thrown by the crowd, one of which struck Constable Archibald on the head, 'but without inflicting any serious injury. The constables being under the impression that they would be overpowered before they could convey their prisoner to No. 3 station, took him into Sweigler’s tavern, followed by the soldiers brandishing their belts and denranding the police to give their sergeant up. In the meantime Cou- stable Crow had arrived from the station, .and with difficulty entered the tavern. He tried to getthe soldiers out of the house, but without effect. ’ While we row was going on a cheer was raised by the crowd outside, and the piquet rushed tit and drew their bayonets. The prisoner had been taken into a back room. but the piqrtet me- rtaced Constable Crow in the bar-room, nets were at his breast at one time, and that the sergeant of the piquet appeared to have lost the entire control of the men under his charge. He called vainly on some of them to arrest the others, and they then drew their bayonets on each other. Mr. Boyd, Johnsonâ€"street, Mr. C. Robiuoon, JVIr. Mara, and Mr. John Purdy, came to the assistance of the Po- lice, and after a great deal of trouble the house was cleared of the soldiers, and the men composing the piquet marched Oh. The crowd, however, continued to surround the house, and when the police came out with their prisoner they were booted all the way to the station. A civilian named Pollard, who is said to have taken an active part in the melee, was also apprehended and lodged in the cells. The whole mat- ter- will be investigated attire Police Court to-day.
