Very shortly will be published two handsome and costly volumes upon the Highlanders ofSeot land. This interesting work is issued under the auspices of the Queen, who commanded Mr. Kenneth Maclvay to execute the thirty or more original drawings of Her Majesty’s retainers ofthc royal household at Balmoral. The potraits have great merit as works of art, and are full lengths with accessories, which greatly enchance their interest. Each portrait is accompanied by descriptive and biographical letter press, which has also had the advantage of being revised by Her Majes ty. l1, Mmears that each retainer represent ed is/a' member of one or uther of the famous clans of Scotland, so that the Series will have historical. and what may fairly be termed ethnological, interest. Her Majesty’s kind- ness in showing so much interest in the per- sonal history of her retainers, and conferring upon them such destinction, will extend and confirm the affectionate regard in which Her Majesty is held. But, beyond the sentiment of the work. it has intrinsic and national value; it is certainly unique in conception, original in the fullest sense of the word, having no predecessor in the list of Royal volumestâ€" Glasgow Mail, 1n the course ofthe session, Senor Fige- lei-Ola, Minister of Finance, expxessed him- s'elfiu favour of free trade, and advocated immediate but; gradual iei'orm in the Cus‘ toms by the adoption ofu compromise tariff.

It is conceded however, that ex~Governor Bantwell, of Massachusetts, will be tendered the position. In fact, it will be necessary to withdraw Judge Hoare, in which case either Lyman Tremaine or Edwd. Pierrepont will succeed him James T._ Wilson’s friends say that he may now be tendered the State Department. Should Judge Hoare be compelled to retire from the Cabinet, he will be olferctl a foreign mission ; or when the hill for the reorganiza- tion of the Supreme Court becomes a law, Judge Ho. res. will be appointed to the Su- preme Court. Mr. Stewart’s course is warmly applauded, and the people appear to he relieved at the final termination of the difficult and unfortunate state of aliairs that has existed for the last few days. A special Cabinet meeting is called for to mor~ row at noon The number of nominations for foreign missions will 'be submitted, and then sent to the Senate. Mr. Washhurnei goes to France. Mr. Bancroft will remain at Berlin. Mr. Motley will he returned to Ans-l tria. and Governor Curtin will be offered the l the mission to Russia or Italy. No one has ‘ been fixed upon yet for the mission to Eng- land. Severul prominent persons are suggest- ed, but Gen. Grant, to-day, had not decided upon the one whom he should select. l Three of Cplby’s Pills are a medium dose. NEW YORK, March 10.â€"The Herald’s Boston correspondent sayszâ€"A bona fide prize fight, according to the rules of the ring, except that hard pulling and biting were al- lowed, took place between two women in Somerville, Mass. at an early hour on Mon- day morning. The contestants, on their ap- pearance in the ring,r were clad in the con- ventional costume o gaiters, stockings and drawers, wearing nothing“ else to Speak of beyond waterfalls and magenta curls. At the very first round one of them named Sa- rah Chapman became frightened andjumped out of the ring, but her backers drove her in again and she eventually won the fight. At the twentyâ€"first round, her opponent, Molly Jones, begged her seconds to take her away; and so the fight and money, $50, was awarded to Sarah. LOUISVILLE, Ky.. March 9.~General John C. Breckenridge, after an exile of nearly 8 years, l‘eached‘his home in Lexing- ton to-day, and will immedietely renew his practice of 1aw,but will carefully eschew politics. NEW YORK, March 10. â€"â€" The Herald’s Havana special says :â€"Later intelligence from Mexico states that so many executions had taken place that the people were thrown into the greatest trepidation and dismay, the feeling of horror at the butchery was so intense that President Juarez has ordered a. suspension of executions everywhere in the Republic. All the officers held as prisoners were to be taken to the capital and tried for treason. HA-VANA, March 7.â€"Luter news has been received from Hayti. President Salnave made his long expected attack on the city of Aux. Cayes, by sea and land, but met with no success. After bom‘burding the city for twenty four hours, without any effect, he suddenly sailed away to Port an Prince. His land forces simultaneously assaulted the town, but were repulsed. The French Ad- miral reiterates his demand upon the Hay- tien Government for the payment of the French debt. HAVANA, March 8.-â€"The Government has received and made public oflicial despatches, giving details of the advance of Gen. Lesca from I-aguanaja to Puerto Prinmde. On this march the heaviest engagement since the beginning of the rebellion was fought. Gen. Lesca. found the enemy, to the number of 4,000, strongly entrenched on Serra de Cuba. Artillerv was brought up and commenced a. vigorous fire upon the works covered by the batteries. A column of regular troops, 1,500 strong, attacked the enemy’s fortifica- tions with the bayonet. Both sides fought with determination, and the havoc was fear- ful. Gen. Lesca reports his loss to be 31 killed and 80 wounded. The loss of the rebels is estimated at upwards of 1,000 killed and wounded. Government accounts claim a victory for Gen. Lesea, and assert that the insurgents are much disheartened by their defeat. The detachment which left Puerto Principe for Santa Cruz, to obtain supplies brought to that port by the fleet, returned on the 2nd inst. with provisions and ammunition, having made the march both ways without serious opposition. The en- tire available strength of the rebel forces now under Quesada is estimated at 7,000 men. HAVANA, March 7.â€"The small pox is rag- ing at Uonsolatdottdel‘Sor. Advices from Trinidad state that the seige has been raised. Three columns were in pursuit of the insurgent bands. Advices from Santiago de Cuba state that every Spaniard in the town of Mayori has been killed. Eight hundred troops had gone there. ' LIQUOR LICENSES.

I can only say that the first intimation of such appointment that I had, was in the public prints, and‘that 1 was not consulted in any way in reference to it, by any members of the Government. l The following is the paragraph of' last lweek, and Mr. Grahame’s explanation : “A BAD APPOINTMENT.-â€"We regret to learn thatthe Hon. Mr. Wood, Provincial 'l‘rensurer, has appointed Mr. Ogle R. Gowan to the office of Issuer of Licenses for the City of Toronto and the East and West. Ridings of York; not because oer. Gowan’s political leanings, but for other reasons that are too well known to need repetition here. Mr. Grahame, the member for West York, and Mr. Crosby, the representative of East York,can hardly approve of the appointment. Of course, Mi. Crosby is looked upon as in oppositionatnd may not have been consulted; but Mr. Grahame is dili'erently situated, and should have exercised his influence to prevent what will now be universally regretted in both Ridings.” - In our last week’s issue, we censured the appointment of Mr. Ogle R. Gowan to the office of Issuer of Licenses for the City of Toronto and the East and West Ridings of York. The office belongs to the Honorable the Provincial Treasurer's department, and it is he who had the appointment; if he did not consult the representatives of the Ridings inter- ested, he has departed from the principles 'by which his chief is guided. Mr. Thomas Grahame, M.P,P. for West York, writes us to say that he was not consulted in any way, in reference to the appointment referred to. If he was not â€"-â€"â€"and we believe Mr. G. when he says :he was nobâ€"he should have been, as a 1supporter of the Government; and we still persist that Mr. Wood has made a very unpopular appointment, and has added to the intensity of the wrong by not consulting the representative of one of the Ridings interested who supported the government. Talk about Responsible Government; we fear it is becoming a thing of the past.â€" VVhen we said, last week, that Mr. Gra- hame should have exercised his influence to prevent the appointment so much to be regretted, we were not then aware that he was so entirely destitute ofinflu- ence with the Government in matters concerning his own Riding, considering Mr, Grahame a supporter of the Governâ€" ment. ‘ QZPDON’T forget to secure a copy of the Polemical Correspondence, between T.J.M. and the Rev.

FIRE AT THORNHILL.â€"On the enening of Thursdailast, the 4th instant, about eight o’clock, smoke was observed issuing from a portion of the ceiling of Henry Lemon’s bar-room, and, on examination, it was found that the brick in the ceiling through which i the stovepipe passes had become so greatly heated as to cause some of the joists to take fire, which smouldered between the ceiling and the upper floor. The fire was extinguished before much damage was done, but had it remained a. little longer undis- covered the hotel and some of the adjacent houses must inevitably have been destroyed. I THEWAY THE MONEY Goes.--TheVaughan Township Council, at its last meeting, voted fifty dollars to the Treasurer of the Vaughan Agricultural Society. How is it that this Society is annually begging at the door of the Council? How is it that the manage- ment of the Society is confined to a. knot in and about Burwick? We think the members of the Counml would better consult the in terests of the public generally, if they would be more careful of the money entrusted. to them. Messrs. Arnold, Hartman and Web- ster are expensive representatives. i TORONTO AND NIPPISSING RAILWAY.â€"The by-law granting $50,000. as a. bonus to the Toronto and Nipissing Railway, by the township of Brock, was voted upon on Tues. day by the ratepayers of that municipality, and carried by a. majority of more than two to one. The vote wasâ€"287 for, and 123 againstâ€"majority, 164.

SAEBATH SCHOOL TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION. â€"Next Monday, at two o’clock, P.M., the members 03" the above Society will meet in the vestry'of theWesleyan Methodist Church, in this village. The subject for discussion will be: “The best method of securing the punctual attendance of Sabbath School chil- dren.” Friends of Sabbath Schools are requested to add to. the interest of the meeting by their presence. as the subject, “ the Numerals of the Scriptures,” but the reverend gentleman lsubsoquently decided that he would lec- lture on "‘ Astronomy” instead. We listened with delight to Mr. McCollum, While he related to his audience the won- derful discoveries of scientific men in regard to the universe, of which this earth, inhabited by us, is but as a grain of sand on the seashore; in fact, one becomes bewildered and amazed when listening to the results ofjcareful research, by men Whose names are guarantees of' their accuracy; and we are forced to the conclusion that man forms but a small atom in the economy of God’s wonderful works. As previously announced, the Rev. J. H. McCollum, of Aurora, delivered a lecture in connection with the Richmond Hill Mcchanics’ Institute, on Tuesday evening last; it was one of the most inâ€" teresting lectures that we have had the pleasure of listening to for a long time past. We were instructed to announce MECHANICS’ INSTITUTE LECTURE. A friendly game at Curling came off on Monday last, the 8th instant, between the Scarboro’ Heather Club and a num- ber of Scotchmen picked up at Patterson and Richmond Hill,‘ on the rink of the former, situated on the farm of Mr. Wm.

A coauusroxnnxr of the Perth Courier re- lates an attempt. at murder in the County of Renfrew. and the extraordinary conduct ofa magistrate. A few weeks ago, a hunter of the name of William Koyes, saw a young man named Barbara examining on of his traps. Keyes raised his rifleâ€"deliberately took aim at Barbaraâ€"fired, and the ball passed through the coat and shirt of the lat- ter, within three inches of his heart. slightly grazing?r his arm, Barbara was accompanied by a young man named Fachy. They both ran away, and lodged information before a magistrate in the neighbourhood. The ma- gistrate issued his Warrant: Keyes was ap- prehended ; the place fixed for the trial was White lake. Prosecutors, magistrates, and all, were at the hotel waiting for the hour. 3 It came. The magistrate waited until the parties concerned settled the matter. It was settled. Magistrate told constable to call prosecutor three times at the door of the room, but, before he did so, to tell him not. .to come. The prisoner was arl‘aignedâ€"â€"- pleaded ” Not Guilty.” Prosecutor was call- ed three time. No answer. Case dismissed, although the magistrate well knew he and his witnesses were in the next room. We suppress the name of the magistrate, as the whole matter is to be represented to the Government, and criminal information filed against the offending justice by the Attorney- General, on the first day of next term.

ONTARIO POULTRY ASSOCIATION. THE STREET RAILWAY.â€" The street rail- way, its good will, plant, and everything connected with it, were put up to auction, at noon yesterday and sold. The attendance of citizens was large. a great number being at‘ tracted by curiosity; but many with the in tention of bidding, and several embryo companies were well known to be formed. The first price named was $10,000 by Mr. George Kiely, of London, and the next it took a jump to $15,000 when, it was run up by indiscriminate bidding to $25,000. From this time till the property was disposed of the bidding was entirely in two hands, the Messrs. Taylor, Brothers, and Mr. W. T. ' Kiely of London, Ontario. Mr. Kiely steadily continued upwards with $100 bids with Mr. Taylor as his opponent, till $48,800 was reached wh en the property was knocked down to Mr. W. T. Kiely at the price named. The bidding was spirited and exceeded the price which the road was expected to bring by a considerable sum. The purchaser ex- pects that after putting the road in a proper state of repair it will yield a yearly revenue clear of expenses of $10,000. Mr. Kier has had alengthened experience in the stage business in the western part of the province, and has been in the city for several weeks back watching and examining into the pros- pects ot'the road. With the present prosl perous condition of the city, he thinks him- self fortunate in securing the road at the price he has, and hopes after showing our citizens that he knows the requirements of the road, and how to run it, to be able to extend it to the Don. or any other section of the city that will prove remnnerative. The first part of the purchase money has been paid, and the remainder will be deposited in the Court of Chancery in ten days. He then takes possession of the road, and will proceed immediately to put it in a. proper state of repair. A CURIOUS story is told by an Illinois paper The gist ofit is this ;-:â€"A Mr. Gull started for Colorado fifteen years ago. The party were attacked by the Indians and several of them killed, among them, as was supposed, er. Gull. He was, however, taken captive unharmed, tortured, finally adopted Indian habits. and until General Custer’s attack on Black Kettle’s camp never saw a white man. l Nowhe returns to find his wife remarried and with seven children. It appears that Mr. I Gull’s Indian captors carried him into south- western Colorado where he found the ruins eta large city, probably built by the Aztecs, and many relics of modern civilization :which he was told came from “huge caves two or three hundred miles away in the sides of the mountains. Accordingly he visited these caves and found them filled with guns, skeletons, pots of gold, pistols, silver coin, and such articles, for which, as is well ‘ known, the ludians entertain a profound ‘ contempt. Strange as it may seem, this was the bank of deposit of the well-known Captain Kidd, as is proved by an antique ring bearing his name, now in Mr. Gull’s possession, and by documents which the same antiquary discovered and appropriated. AT the recent quarterly meeting of the Church Society, Diocese ofHuron, the sec- retary stated, in reference to the amount of $7,000 due the diocese on the division of securities between the diocese and the Dio- cese of’l‘orouto,Mr John Hillyard Cameron, their solicitor,11ad been communicated with; and the standing committee, after deliberat- ing on the subject, recommended taking Hamilton debentures to the amount of $0000, n mortgage on land in the township of ‘g'x'nrwick for $900, and $100 in cash, as a settlement. The recommendation of the committee was adopted. A COUPLE orowa girls lately invited tw’O young lellows to a sleigh ride. After pro- ceeding a few miles the youths preferred to walk a distance to get warm. The girls whipped up and compelled the gallants to foot their way to town.

A SINGULAR case of kleptomania is report- ed from Battersea.

GRANT received, the other day. by express, a stout, new three-stringed broom, with red, white and blue handle. Several persons were present in the General’s room when it was handed to him, and numerous jokes passed as to its being an intimation that he should “ sweep clean“ 3 but the Genâ€" eral himself expiessed no opinion. THE principal of the Russian convent of Jerusalem has just purchascdmear Hebron, the celebrated oak which local tradition de- clares to have existed since the time of the patriarch Abraham, whose name it bears.
