LOKDON, Oct. 12.â€"-News toâ€"day is unim- portant. The Times, in an editorial on the Fenian amnesty meetings, says : “ The Crown is invited to pardon rebels who do not pretend to be penitant, not because the conspiracy is crushed, but because it is still formidable enough to rally sympathisers. No one doubts the right of the Government to suppress with rigor outrages against law and order. Had the forbearance of the Crown been invoked in a. becoming tone with the recognition of its rights to protect peaceable and loyal citizens, an amnesty might be a messagenf peace. At present we see no presumption that it would be re- ceived in that spirit. by the demanders, while it must operate as a discouragement to these who helped to crush Fenian outbreaks. There can be no greater injustice or impo‘ licy than such an act if Ireland is still Fe- nian at. heart and hostile to union. We be- ]ieve a majority of the Irish people would rejoice at the suppression of Feman‘sm, and that some of them who Sign the amnesty petitions would be thankful if the petitions were rejected.” The Times has'also an editorial to-dav on financial matters in the United States. The writer says there may be circumstances in the financial position of the United States authorising so glaring a. departure from sound rules of public economy, but it is dif- ficult to deny that a. mere struggle of gam- bfers, by an act of the Government. is mag- nified into an event of national importance. If Mr. Boutwell had persevered, more money would have changed hands, more fortunes been made or marrred. other brokers gone mad, absconding or committing suicide, and the threat against. Fisk might have been ex- ecuted. It is not easy to decide whether this will be for good or evil. _ MADRID, Oct. lO.-â€"Very desperate fight- ing between the Republican forces and Gov- ernment troops, which commenced at Va. lencia on the 81h inst. continues. Reinforce- ments have been dispatched to the Gov“: ment detachment. The troops heat- - , 1n- surgents in every encounter between we con- tending parties in Andalusia. and Arragon. A Republican deputy to the Cortes, Castero, having been threatened with assassination by partisans of the Government, has fled the country and taken refuge in Portugal. Further rioting is looked for and dreaded in Madrid, but the reports say there is every probability of its being quelled promptly should it occur. , PARIS, Oct. 11.-~Advices from Republi- can sourses lepreseut ihat the insurrection is gaining ground.

The shocks were so se- vere as to materially injure many of the buildings, shattering the walls of the Span- ish and Union Hotels and other large struc- tures, which caused a general panic among the inhabitants and the entire suspension of business. The day had been excessively hot without the slightest breeze, the thermometâ€" er indicating 92 degrees and the barometer 30 degrees, indicating fair weather. In the interval between the first shock and 11 o’clock p. m._. nine distinct shocks occurred, producing widespread terror and dismay. There has been nothing like it since the great earthquake of 1867. THE Right Hon. Edward Cardwe‘il, Secre- tary of State for War. delivexed a speech to his constituents at Oxford on Sept. 29th, on the subject of the policy of the Govern- ment toward Canada. He said the general policy of g0vernir-.,gr colonies from home was :1 mm} failure, and there had, consequently, AN nfl'ecling and melancholy scene occur- od last Saturday in Dr. Salter’s drug store, London. A middle aged lady, wife 01 Mr. B. F. Be is. Chmham, walked into the drug store to obtain some medicine. and sat down while a customer was being served. In about two minutes afterwzn'ds she hean to cough, not violently, nor in any manner to excite re- mark. Without sneaking. she moved hastily towards the swim. drawing- her chair hastily after her, and removed the stove pan, as if intending to spit among the ashes. At this point. her condition first attracted notice from Dr. Salter. who went forward to assist her. The unfortunate \v-vmm) was. however. bevond human support, for while in the act nfleavingthe pan on the fender she appeared to be overcome by a chokingr sensation, and netream of blond issued from her mouth. From that. moment she was speechless, and in five minutes was dead. It appears the deéeased was in the last. stage of consumpv 1ion. and her jou'rney to London overtaxed her strength. THE promoters of' a. system of “ Univer- Ml Penny Railways” have matured, and now submit, for public consideration a. scheme by which, as flmv believe, the su-czilled “ impos- sibility" of penny railways may be overcome. The basis of the plan is of course the as- mmption of all flue railways by lho State. lreen substituted for it a policy to encouran them to develop their own power'and resour- ces and stimulate them to a spirit. of self-re- liance. He showed how successful this pol icy had Been in the case of Canada, and briefly reviewed the progress recently made by that colony. She already had an army of her own. and such a. merchant navy that ifvher people chose to adopt the act paSSed for the purpose she might become one of the first maritime Powers of the world. “This,” the speaker said, “was the true policy to pursue.” If we benefit the Cana- dians, we benefit ourselves. also. By this policy our colonies have become sources of strength and honor. When the'time comes and Britain calls for the support of her col- onies there will be a confederation such as the world never saw under a single sove- reign. Plumâ€"Use Dr. J.

Elm ggm “gamut The Fall Fair of the East Riding of' York and Township of Markham Agri- cultural Societies was held in Markham village, on Wednesday and Thursday the 6th and 7th inst.‘ The weather Was dry. and cool, and the roads excellent, and as a consequence the concourse of people who thronged to the Fair was proportion- ately great. The attendance on the first day was comparatively small, but on the second day the people began to arrive by seven o’clock in the morning, and by ten 'o’clock the streets were lined with vehi- cles of every description, crowded toge- ther so as to occupy the least possible room; while the stables and out-houses, even the fence-corners, were filled with horses. It was interesting to witness the influx of visitnrs, as they poured into the village. Here came a couple of old resi« dents, lumbering along in an antiquated vehicle, which, like the man blind from his birth, “ had seen better days,” closely followed by a dashing “ blood ” in a turn-out of' the latest style; next come a couple of old grey-headed men, with stout oak sticks in their hands, and short pipes between their teeth, trudging along, and doubtless indulging in the reminis- cences of similar occasions in the “ ould airt ” when they were young; in their wake is a bevy of blooming, rosyâ€"checked lasscs, in their best bib and tucker, closely followed by a bandiof' bashful admirers, who ever and anon greet our ears with a hearty laugh ; next comes a lumber wag- gon, filled to overflowing with people of both sexes, and all ages; and these, toâ€" gether with the loads of sheep and swine, and herds of cattle which keep coming in, caused the streets of Markham to asâ€" sume a lively appearance ; and thus they kept crowding in, until a number estima- ted by some, at eight or ten thousand, had congregu'ed. Patterson Bros. of Patterson, exhi- bited a self-raking reaper, straw cutter, and fanning mill, all of which are got up ingood style; Jno. Langstafl“,'of Thornâ€" hill showed a cider press, churn, washing machine, and eavetroughing, all of which seem to be well adapted to their several uses; Eyer & Bro, Glideing \Vorks, ’tichmond Hill, had on exhibition a ditching machine, (Carter’s) which atâ€" eracted consxderable attention and elici- ted numerous encomiums from farmers and others; also a straw cutter, and ploughs. Fleury, of Markham, exhibited a reaper with self-raking attachment; and Brown & Patterson, of Whitby, another self-raking reaper, for which they claim some important advantages. The reapers were driven around for a shart time, to give the spectators an idea of the mode of working, 810. A. & W.

The show of vegetables is good, surpassing that~0f former years ;the turnips, carrots, and wurtzcls are remarkably fine, as are also the specimens of cabbage and cauli- l flower; the pumpkins and squashes are not so good. Among the potatoes we noticed some of the Early Rose variety, of the productiveness of whlch such tough stories have been told. The entries in grain are few, and the samples scarcely so good as in former years; the Deihl wheat carried off the prize, in fall wheat. In iruits there is a good display, both in quantity and quality. The show of grapes is small, owing to the unfavorâ€" ableness of the season. There are at least 28 enteries in butter, and quite a number in cheese, some of WlllCll are very good, while others are barely ine- diocre. leather; but in boots and shoes Mr. E. Burke has the field to himself. Myers, of Richmond Hill, has on exhibition a set of oriental plated single harness, very beautifully finished. There was no com- petition in this class ; another set arrived on the morning of the sécond day; but i even had it been there in time the result would scarcely have been different. In double carriage harness the decision wavered between Digby, of Markham, and Harrison, of Richmond Hill. Digbv obtained the prize ; but aprotest was en‘ tered on the ground that part of the bar- ness was of foreign, manufacture. In home and factory made cloths there is a marked improvement; some webs of the latter being equal in quality, and little inferior in appearance to the pro- duct of the English looms. The quilts and counterpanes were beautiful, and evinced considerable taste. Mrs. Wooten exhibits a patchwork quilt, containing 2682 pieces. Of rugs, there is a better assortment than there was last y ear ; some showing extra good work. In the fancy department the ladies have scarcely done so well, the specimens being fewer, and, with seine few exceptions, scarcely equal to those of former years. In the Fine Arts there is a creditable display, especi- I ally in crayons, of which Miss; Eva shows some beautiful specimens. The Gilly piano exhibited is from the firm of Heintzman, & 00., Toronto ;» 1t, however, possesses-such finess of tone, and is so elegant in design and elaborate in work- manship. that it would be difficult to pro- duce a better or more beautiful instruâ€" ment. It is exhibited by C, Chapman, ‘ Markham, who also shows an organ and melodeons, together with several of the celebrated Wheeler & Wilson sewing. (w- chines. These last are certainliy ft n‘iaril vellous triumph of art; they are almost noiseless in operation; will do any kind of work required in a. family, and are quickly changed from one kind of work to another. They are certainly among the best machines manufacturedâ€"a fact which is attested by the number of prizes, carried 011" at Provincial and other Exhi- bitions, and also at the Exposition Uni- versalle, at Paris, 1867. Mr. Chap- man also exhibits Lamb’s knitting ma- chine, a piece of machinery, which, in the words of one of the judges, “ almost seems as if it were endowed with intelli- gence.” Mr. Bell exhibits several sew: ing machines, which share the honors with Mr. Chapman’s; and Messrs. Collins & Fluincrfelt have some harmoniums and inelodeous of excellent tone and good finish. There was but one band of music present, the well-known Sharon band, which enlivened the day with choice pieces of music. The show of horses, on the whole, was good, in some classes being extra, in others hardly middling. 0f stallions, for instance, there were very few exhibited ; of brood mares and colts, a good number among which were some valuable animals; in carriage horses, the team of J. M. Davis, of Richmond Hill, eclipsed all others ; of buggy horses there were about 30 enteries, some of the aniâ€" mals being extra. A horse shown by Mr. Wells seemed to be the favorite with the crowd. Some good animals were also shown among the saddle horses, and. also‘among the young horses. There . There is a, very good. display of , kh-.. 0f cattle there is probably a finer lot than has been shown here for many years ; many of them having carried off prizes at the Provincial Exhibition. The princi- pal exhibitors in the various classes as far as we could learn, are :â€"In Durhams, Jno. Miller, Bell and Whitson, Pickering, Geo. Miller, Markham, also shows some first-class young animals; in Devons, Spencer and Palmer make the best show ; in Ayrshires, Wheeler and Laurie; in Herefords, W. Thompson, of Markham, shows some splendid grade cattle. There is a good number of sheep exhibited, some of which are superior animals. Jno. Miller, Pickering, George Miller, Mark- ham, and \Veldrick, Thornhill, show Cotswolds and Leicester‘s; Spencer, of Whitby, and Geo. Miller, some excellent Shropshire and Hampshire Downs. Taking,r one departmanf with another, this has been one of the most successful fairs that has been held in Markham. The Societies certainly deserve great credit for the zeal and energy they have displayed from year to year, which has resulted in making Markham Fair what it isâ€"second only to the Provincial. But there is one thing to Which we must advert before closing these remarks ; Besides the inevitable candy-stands,living skeleton, and other coneomitants of the fairâ€"which if they do no good, at least do no harm. ‘Ve noticed Within the enâ€" closure, a couple of stands for the sale of intoxicating liquors. This certainly is not as it should be. Many of the quar- rels, yes, I might almost say the whole of them, arise from indulging too freely in ardent spirits; this of itself. not to mention the efi'ects of this disreputable traffic on the morals of' a community, should open the eyes of the Directors to the necessity of doing all in their power to prohibit the sale of intoxmating drinks within the grounds. The Show of pigsâ€"is small, but the animals exhibited are first-class. Poultry is rather above the average. OUR. NEW FINANCE MINISTER. Sir Francis Hiucks was sworn. in, asl Minister of Finance, on Saturday last, at Ottawa. Many of our readers who are familiar with Canadian politics, for the past thirtwfive or forty years, will know more or less of the history of our new Finance Minister; there are many, how- ever, who know nothing of him, except what they may learn through the col- . umns of the Globe. It is true, there was a time when the Globe gave Sir Francis a hearty support; but Mr. Brown beâ€" A‘mm came ambitious, and would run for par- ‘ liament ; he must undertake a hereulean : feat, and with this object he tried his ‘ chance in contesting Haldimand with the old veteran reformer, William Lyon Mackenzie. Mr. Hincks disapproved of ,Mr. Brown’s running in opposition to a reform candidate; hence arose the cool; ncss. The result of the contest was Brown’s defeat; and because the, Bald’ winâ€"Lafontaine Ministryâ€"of which Mr. Hineks was Inspector Generalâ€"ref used ito pay M r.'Brown his expenses in oppos~ ring Mr. Mackenzie, he, (Mr. Brown) turned round Land declared ,eternal enmity towards the chiefs of the old re- form party. He struck out on a new line, and formed a party of his own, which eventually became known as “clear grit ;” from that time to the present Mr. Brown has warred every politician who would not be guided by him and submit to the dicta- tion of the Globe. In former days the Hons. F. Hincks, Robert Baldwin. and Dr. ltolph came in for a fair share of the Globe’s attention ; time flew, Mr. Bald- win went down to his honored grave; Dr. Rolph retired in disgust from poli- tics, and the Hon. Mr. Hincks received promotion and high honors from his sovereign; leaving Mr. Brown and the ,Globe to turn his battery against the invulnerable John A. We all know the result; Mr. Brown relented and took confederation boat for a While, and seem- ed to wonder how it was they had kept so long asunder; George- shed tears, while John A. received him with out- spread arms, and gave him such an em-. brace as to (politically) dislocate George’s lspinal column. He quit the crafting big, and has never been able to recover from the loving squeeze he received from his “ Irzlon‘ourable friend and col league,” John‘g. Macdonald. All who know the new Finance Minister. are {tth he ' ' of rare talent, and ' particular: welfadapted to take charge of that department.

We are rejoiced to see him at his old post once more, and take this opportunity of congratulating Sir l John A Macdonald and his colleagues on the new accession to the Ministry. We are confident that Sir Francis Hincks , will prove himself equal to the task now before him. office with Sir John; they rowed in the‘ We regret to learn that our gallant Troop, while at Toronto, in attendance on the prince, was treated most dis- eourteously by those who had the manage- ment of affairs. Although under the immediate command of Lieutenant Colonel Norman T. Macleod, the senior oflicer of volunteers in this district, and constantly in attendance on His Royal Highness, there has not been the slight. est notice taken of Colonel Maeleod, Mr. Baldwin, (his subaltern) or the Troop, in any of the Toronto newspapers. Col.Mac leod’s Troop escorted the Prince to the citizen’s ball, in the Music Hall; they remained on guard there while His Boy- deal of pleasing all the ladies who wanted a1 Highness was going through the or- to dance with him; and after all was over they escorted him to his residence. All volunteer officers on duty in the city, re- ceived invitations to the Citizens’ Ballâ€" except Colonel McLeodâ€"which looks very like a personal indignity, as well as a slight to the Troop. We regret to hear of these incidents, because we thought that everything that could be done, was done to prevent heart-burnings and unpleasantness. Our remarks are founded upon the most reliable authority, and on this account, we do not hesitate to condemn the treatment of Colonel Mac- leod, and his Troop, by those who had the power to have made things pleasant on the occasion.

On Saturday last, the 9th instant, a special meeting of the Vaughan Town- ship Council was held at the Town Hall, for the purpose of receiving a deputation from the Board of Directors of the To- ronto Grey and Bruce Railway; they were Mr. George Laidlaw (the Railway King) Mr. Gordon, of the firm of Gor- don (St Mackay, Toronto ; ex-Mayor Smith. collector of customs; and John Sheddon, the extensive railway forwarder. J. W. Gamble, Esq. was present, and as a ratepayer of the Township, was permit- ted by the reeve to address the Council. .Mr. Gamble made an able speech, and showed clearly that the- rate-payers in the rear of the Township have strong claims upon us for consideration in the rail- way project; they assisted to build Yonge street, and had the same interest in gov- ernment grants to the Northern Railway that those had who directly benefitted by the liberality of government to that - corporation. Mr. Laidlaw and Mr. Gordon also addressed the council, and used powerful arguments in favor of their claim for a bonus from the people of' Vaughan. On the whole, we are of opinion that a most favorable impression was made that day; by the advocates of the Railway. There is one feature of the project which agreeably surprised us ; we had been led to understand that the Grey and Bruce Railway would barely touch the south west corner of the Town- ship ; but we find, from the statements of those who profess to know, that it will run,_for a very considerable distance,along the valley of the Humber. This being the case, it will strengthen the Company’s claim for. assistance. We expect to re. turn to this subject at a futurevday. The following resolutions were adopted by the Township Council of Vaughan : TORONTO, GREY AND BRUCE - RAILWAY. Moved by Mr. Arnold,seeonded by Mr. Hartman, “ that the business for which “ this special meeting was called, be “ taken into consideration on the 8th “ day of November next.” Mr. Hartman gave notice“ that- he “will, on the 8th of November next, “submit a By-Iaw to the Council to “grant a bonus to the Toronto, Grey “ and Bruce Railway.” IN THESE days of pretentious and humhnqr when glitter and brass are received as the true metal, it is certainly refreshing to meet a man who is above the contemptible mean- ness of deceiving the public; If every ad ventisement were received as truth, it would appear that the hero 'of the same was a phil- anthrophist, whose sole object was to benefit poor sufferinghumanity, while the entire humanity of the thing is a. deception, and the great motive power is the love of the “dimes.” Hence it is that when a real philanthrophist appears, he is not likely to receive that confidence to which he is justly entitled. Being always ready to say a. word in favor of real merit, we take pleasure in speaking of Dr. J. Briggs’ Curative, this justly celebrated remedy, is all that- can be desired by those who suffer from corns, bunions, in-growing‘ nails. tender feet, 850. They will hail with joy a. remedy for this purpose. Briggs’ Modem Curative is sold by druggists and country merchants. At the present Fall Assizes, now being held in Toronto, M iss Lydia Ann Apple- ton, of Aurora, brought an action against Matthew Lepperâ€"a {ustice of the IZeace for the County of Yorkâ€"for false im- prisonment and malicious prosecution. The plaintiff is a. respectable young W0- man, and well connected in the neigh- borhood of Aurora; she is the daughter of an old schoolmaster of the Town of York, who taught in a building in Mar- ket Lane, now kn WVI] as Colborne street, “A man severe he was, and stern to View, I knew him well, and every truant knew.” There are many grown up men and W0- men in Toronto Who will recollect poor old Mr. Appleton ; he died a few years ago at Aurora. We are glad to see that his daughter has successfully vindicated her character, and proved to the Aurora. Dogberry that playing with edged tools is a very dangerous and expensive amuse- ment. It is a pretty well ascertained fact that nine-tenths of the convictions by our country justices are illegal, and will not stand the test of’ an “Appeal.” Our readers will remember that the late Mr. Matchell, J. P., was ‘heavily fined7 some time before his death, for illegally imprisoning an unfortunate man. Now, Mr. -Lepper has stupidly rushed into a similar blunder. We think it is high time that some change was made in the mode of dispensing-justice in our rural districts; it will never do to leave the liberties of the people exposed to the whimsicalities of an illiterate ma- gistraey, simply because the right of ap- peal exists, or an action for damages can be entered against the wrongâ€"doer. rl‘here are few who have the courage to tackle these magnates, and most people prefer submitting to an injury at their hands, to standing out for their legal rights and bringing them before their bet- ters. Occasionally it is done, however, and with a most wholesome efieet. ' N0 advertising is necessary to sell Hunt’s Hair Gloss to those who have once used it. ANOTHER AURORA MAGIS- TRATE HEAVILY FINED. Wc copy the following extract from the Whitby Chronicle :â€" “ The Prince’s party and a select few in- vited guests, next proceeded to the residence of Mr. Sheriff Reynolds, to partake of lun- cheon at Trafalgar Castle, where they arriv- ed in a. short tnme. The noble aspect of the splendidlbuilding, and the entrance of the principal gateway, were adorned with flags; but they required no adornment. The say- ing thatâ€" “ ‘ Beauty unadorned is adorned the most,’ â€"â€"might apply to Trafalgar Castle ; were it not that the fine architectural proportions of the building, not in a merelv artistic but in a purely architectural point of view, re- quire none of the adjuncts 'of decorationâ€" simply for the finery- of decoration. It is always, and more snperlatively so, in our own opinion, when there is nothing done to make it look “grander.” It requires no accessories. The vast and splendid interior of the building was well examined by the guests, and pronounced by one and all, in a wordâ€"superb. Prince Arthur led Mrs. Reynolds from the drawing room to the. dining room; Lady Young, Mrs. Howland, and Miss Macdonald. being successively led in by the Sheriff and others. The select party at the luncheon with the Prince and Governor General, num‘ bered comparatively few; amongst others there were Lieut.-Governor Howland, Sir John A.. and Hon. John Sandfiéld Macdon- aid, Hon. Mr. Carling, Col. Elphinstone, Col. McNeil, Mr. Potter, M. P., of the Grand Trunk, Mr. Brydges, Mr. King, of the Montreal Bank, Mr. Turvil'e, Hon. Mr. Justice Morrison, Judge Duggan, Judge Burnhnm. Mr. Gibbs, M: 1).. Mr. Thompson, M. P., for North Ontario, Mr. Paxton, M. P. P., Dr. McGill, M. P. P., Mr. Gerrie, mayor of Whitby, Mr. Wright. Warden of the county, Lieut. Col. Fairbanks, and Mr. Bigelow, President of the Whitby and Port Perry Railway.” ' That the good people of the Town of Whitby, and surrounding country, should assemble and greet the Prince and Governor General, on their visit to that town, is quite right and proper ; we think it highly commendable. But, in our humble opinion, it would have been bet- ter had the town Council entertained the distinguished visitors, instead of Sher-iii“ Reynolds. This Sheriff is‘a particularly ostentatious sort of gentleman; for a residence, nothing short of a castle will : gratify his vanity; and when Royalty heaves in sight, of course who so fit to entertain a Prince as the occupant of' “ Trafalgar Castle 1” We can recollect ‘ When this same gentleman occupied a‘ very different sort of castle, at Kingston, in 1838; he was then strongly suspected of anything but a love of Royal Princes. That was before he was metamorphosed into a Sherifi‘. Times are changed, and so is Nelson G. Reynolds. When we see shei-{fl‘s building castles, and entertaining, with pomp and magnificence, it is high time we began to enquire how is all this done, and who pays? We all know that when “ times are good ” with sheriffs and 1baliffs, they are bad for the people. If sherifl'scan build castles,and roll in luxury, out of the fees, they levy on the unfor- tunate people, who come under their clutches, it becomes a serious matter for enquiry. Such snobbery in our sheriffs, or other public servants, 1s quite intol- lerable. The Attorney General is a sincere advocate of economy ; and we feel , confident he will not look on quietly while sheriffs and balifls are building palaces, or “ castles,” and entertaining Royalty itselfâ€"out of fees collected from persons who can least afford to bear the bur-then. A RESULT of careless feeding is related by the Brampton Times. Mr. David Smith. on the centre road, lost six pigs a. few days ago, from a singular cause, which shows that it IS risky to throw everything and anything into the em“ barrel, under the impression that it is good enough for swine. They were pen- ned up and were first attacked with a. stupid drowsiness which attracted the attention of the owner. Suspectiug they had taken ‘ something injurious along with their food,“ he made enquiries and ascertained that a quantity of green cucumber pickle had been thrown into the barrel.
