H033 EVIDENCE AGAINST WHELAN. OTTAWA, April 11. Further evidence against Whelvn was dis- covered to~day by detective Cullen. He found out that. the house adjoinitn,r Mc Kenna's (nearly opposite Mrs. Trotlev-ls) has been for a long. time unoccupied; that the doors have been‘let’t lying open ; and that. in the back door steps two trucks and two only c0uld be tr; end. They were thuse‘ol'a man who enteted and left the house by that way. Both boot-marks cm-responded pre- cisely on being measured casefudy, and Whelan’s boots lizivin,_r been procuted from the gnol were found to fit exactly in the bout- marks in the snow. When asked for his boots thismorning, W hetan sighed and was evident- ly upset, but said those nee not thu boots he wore on the night of McGee’s murder. [1' Whelun commi ted this murder, and of that the authorities have hardly the least doubt, then his sudden disnppeumnce immediately alter would be readily “(mounted for.

ASSAS‘SINATION YET ANOTHER ARREST. HARE ARRESTH 0F O-r'rnu. Aprii 1‘5. was accompanied to the gaol by Mr. O’Reilly and some oi the detecti'es and others. When the party came opposite Whelan's cell,Mr McGee, who was foremost, was at once addressed by the prisoner, who saidâ€"“Ahl John McGee, I know you; we have met before,” Mr. McGee instantly re- cognized Whelan, and said t :ey had met be- bore in his late brother’s house. There was no hesitation or resetvation in the prisoner’s msnnel at all. He was well dressed, having got a change of clothes since he was examin- ed m the Police Court.and throughout the in terview to-dai‘y,which scarcelv lasted over five minutes. Wha en’s demeanor was as bold and confident as ever. He looks paler, and is certainly more nervous th in when I saw him last; but for this his term of confine- ment. short as it has been, must be held partly accountable. He was cheerful once or twice, and to Mr. U’Reillyuwho, with the exception of Mr. McGee, was the only per- son allowed to speak to him, prisoner spoke of his trial as a matter wlnch he had no doubt. would occur, and Said he wished to procure the services of an able counsel, and desired if possible Mr. John Hillyard Cam eron should be retained for the defence. as he \Vhelan felt theeharge against him to he of the most serious character. As to his resent position, in point ol'comi'ort. he said lie did [not expect more when he was con» fined, and had no complaint tJ make. Other persons who were present at this interview will now be able to add important evidence to the great weight of testimony beariuar against. Whelan. These persons identified him today as the same man whom they saw in the gallery of the House of Commons on the Wednesday evening preceedinnr the mur- der. and as haviert then in his posseSsion a, pistol. It was in the breast pocket of his coat, and the fact of his carrying arms there caused some temark among: those nersnns"3t the time; and since then it oc- rurred to them that possil ly it mi :ht have been Whnlan they saw. In this as I have told von they ouud today they were correct. As to Mr. John McGee’s wishinz to see Whelan, it arose in this wayâ€"last New. vvar's day, a person called at Mr. D‘Arcy McGee’s residence in Montreal, and said he wished to see Mr. McGee. For some time before, in the case of'pcrsons not well known there were orders given in Mr. McGee’s household that they were not to be shown up to him until an interview was had with some other member of the lamily. This precau- tion was taken in consequence of the threats which had been for Some time p'evionsly made aminst Mr. Mcfle ’slif'e. On the day in question the man who called wao shown up s1airs to Mr. Jon. McGee, brother of‘ de- r‘eased, and this v sitnr finding ha could not obtain an audience of the deceased statesman told Some sort of half hesitatin r and very doubtf'nlslnohin': stony abouts number ol men in Montreal having breded together to burn M-- Mr-Ger's residence that day Week, and then left the house. The story was not at the time re :arded as probable, and, since the assassination, it occu'rcd to John Mc- loe that. possibly the man that then Visited his bt‘nther’s house had not told hls real er‘ rand there. Hence Mr John MrGee's desire to see if Whelan was the trim. As I have said, the Nâ€"CO notion was mutual and. com nlete. You will thus see that almost dailv, ever since the bloodv tramer of the 7th inst.. testimony pointio : to Whelan as in all nrobabilitv the murderer has arisen on all ha ds. Evidence of'this character has ac- cumulated ina manner astonishin'rly rapid.

Thomas D’Arcy McGee Were in- terred, at Montreal, with all the honors that could be paid to the memory of de- parted greatness; our national, provin- cial and municipal authorities have all manifested their appreciation of Mr. McGee s invaluable services to his adopted country, and every true manâ€" who is net at heart a hater of all that is patrioticâ€"has felt, during the past ten days, that the hand of a vile midnight assassin has deprived our country of the services of' a wise and faithful counsellor, and a man of' ektraordinary genius. The speeches of Sir John A. McDonald, Mr. McKenzie and others, in the House of Commons, are a tribute to the memory of' the deparde that do credit to the heads and hearts of' those gentlemenZ and go to show that Mr. Mche had a strong hold upon the respect and affecLions of the highest intellects ia our land. Municipal corporations and other public bodies in various parts of the Dominion have held special meetings, and passed resolutions complimemary to his public worth, and have bemoaned' his loss. The newspapers have been filled with parti- culars regarding his past good services, and details of what has taken place to detect the cold-blooded villain who has brought such a calamity upon our young nation All appear, by one accord, to feel that in the death of the Hon. T. D. McGee, the country has sustained an ir- reparable loss. We would direct the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Hugh Miller & Co.1 Medical Hall, 167 King Street East'Toronto. This well estab- lished firm, it givesius much pleasure to state, have made a great improvementin their old store, having entirely changed its appearance, by putting in very hand- some windows, well adapted for their business, and this building now presents a very striking addition to the many im- provements at present making in Toron- to. We understand that Hugh Miller & Co are largely engaged in the manu- facture of' two very valuable articles, known as “l\1illcr"slllumina or or Burn inf?r Fluid,” and “Miller’s Infallible Tick Destroyer" for sheep, both of which are patented, and have received prizes and diplomas at Kingston, London, Hamil- ton and Toronto, and we have every reason to believe that Canada has receiv- ed immense benefit from both of the above preparations. certainly, great credit is due to them for the amount of energy and study which must have been exercised in preparing these articles, and we earnestly wish them every success.

At length the authorities have deter- mined upon enquiring into the cause of the late Mrs. Peter Basingtwait's death. It will be recollected that she died on or about the 22nd December last, under circumstances which caused considerable comment ; it created a strong suspicion that a foul crime had been committed, and was being smothered by parties who should know better; this being the im- pression upon 'the minds of nearly every person in the neighborhood, and as the authorities had reason to believe that there was something wrong, Mr. Coroner Reid of Thornh’ill summoned a. jury, ordered the body of Mrs. Basingtwaite to be exhumed, and apost mmtem exâ€" amination to be held by two eminently qualified practitioners. The inquest was opened at 7 o’clock in the evening of Tuesday last, and important evidence taken, after which an adjournment was Ordered until Friday the 24th inst. Body Exhumed for Legal Investigation. After empannelling the following gen- tlemen as jurymen, Coroner Reid pro- ceeded wich the investigation: Messrs M. Tecf'y, J. Hamilton. J. Newton, sen, J.

The pieces and hymns given were rendered with good effect and taste, and redound to the credit of Mr. Wm. Freek and Mrs. Vantassel, their musical teachers. The officers and teachers of' this School de- serve much credit for the interest and energy displayed in their efforts to make this School one of the most successful in lthe County. We understand the oflicers have decided to give their anniversary entertainment on Good Friday annually. The appearance of wild boars in consider- able numbers is reported from Stavelot, in Belgium. A few days ago a troop ofabont twunty were seen rooting up the rye‘fields.

THE SUPPLY OF “Sovsumcss ”-â€"-The Times, in an interesting article on the Mint, says ~â€"It is a singular fact that, for the first time in the history of the Mint, not a single sovereign was stran there during the whole of last year. nor has one yet been struck there during this. During nearly 15 months, in fact. not a pound sterling in gold has been added to the cm‘rency 0f the kingdom. It was thought after the panic of 1866 that the Mint would have to coih more money ; but the very reverse hasheen the case. The Mint itself is suffering from the depression which has for a. time over- taken all trades and occupations. The de‘ mnnd there now is not for pounds, but for Shillings and sixpences, and even at the manufacture of these the men are only working; halftime, and at little more than half wages. â€"- Franklin J.
