A new plan has lately been propounded for making a railway to the Pacific through British North America. The novelty 00m. sistS' of importing,r labourers from Great Britain in large numbers to build the road. First‘ the expense of their passage would be paid. While engaged on the work, the in- dustrial army would be provided with regu- lar rations and whatever else would be ab- solutely needful for the time being. At the r end ofa. stipulated period the men would bei paid whatever could be saved out of thein wages, and have a liberal amount of land in freehold. It would be welcome intelligencc to the workmen or" Great Britain, many of whom, after lives of the hardest toil and much privation, look to nothing better than dying in the poor-house, if they find they could have their passage paid to this side of the Atlantic, and earn $90 in crsh and 100 to 300 acres of land by the labor of seven months, besides having a certainty of con- tinued work so as to bring out their families, buy a cow or two, and do such other things as would make the necessary beginning on their prairie and woodland farms. It is cal- culated that between Fort Garry and B‘nte Inlet; on the Pacific, :1 distance said to be about 1,500 miles, the proposed plan would enable 300,000 families to locate themselves. within the next s1x years, at the rate of t 50,000 a year. But by going a little further 03‘ the line of the road, the number that could be comfortably‘settled would of course be practically unlimited. The scttlcmcnts would provide business for the road 3 pauper ism would be diminished at once ; and alto- gether the experiment would be truly in the interest of the people, and not 0t" any mono- polyâ€"provided the views thus announced are carried out in their true spiritâ€"Buflalo Courier. The Chicago Times of Monday, says :â€" The instructions of her Majesty’s Govern- :ment to gunbonts employed in protectingr the Canadian fisheries exhibit aspirit of fairness which will tend to allay distrust and create a better feeling among down-east fishermen than has heretofore prevailed. { Under the convention of 1818, our fisher“ 'men'have claimed the right to take tish in Canadian boys, anywhere within one marine league of the shore. The English and Can- adian authorities, on the other hand, have assumed that: this right did not apply in Canadian bays. within a direct line from, headland to headland. The reciprocity 't‘reaty with Canada put: an end to the con- troversy; but with the discontinuance of that treaty it again revived. The British Government- now directs that Bli‘rish gun boats observe a middle course, which will not exclude American fishermen irom Cane. dian bays where the line from headland t0 headland will exceed ten miles in length. This will open to American fisherman some of the best fishing banks, from which the British authorities have heretofore claimed 'fihe right to exclude them. It is said that a prominent representative of the Prussian Government, in New York, on Saturday received a despatch from the other side, instructing him to open negoti- ations at once for the purchase of war ves- sels, to be added to the naval force opposed to France. The particulars are not acces- sible at present, but'it is believed that pur- chases will be speedily effected. This was i stated in yesterday's Times. Now, it ap- l pears that other strange things are being l done at this port. A swift steamship is be- ing rapidly fitted up. under the very eyes of the Brooklyn Navy Yard officials, with guns, ammunition, and stores, to be used, it is said, as a Prussian privateer. The men have been recruited, and one of them, in a conversation with our reporter yesterday, declared that the vessel would sail out of New York on Monday. There vas a possi- bility of further delay, he said, but he be lieved that everything would work favorably for an early start. A during commander has been chosen, who was trained il‘i our navy. and his men are all picked from among the best gunners and scaman to be found anywhere. They are principally Ger- mans, and are promised a large share ofthe roceeds of their work. In the course of his search for news another reporter found that an iron brig, of clippet'lmild, was ly- ing off the Jersey Flats, taking in a cargo of guns and powder. She is- a trim well built vessel, and could easily be turned to good account as a privateer. The movements between this craft and the shore are highly suspicious, and it is said that men are being stowed in her hold, to be brought forth at the right time, for service. She is ostensi- bly destined for Campeachcy. ' and may be intended forCuba, but there are strong in- dications of her choice for the other mis- sion. Ofcourse, the Prussian Co'uul pro- fesses entire ignorance of the whole matter, but is almost certain that there is smnethin;r in it after all. Arrrangements. by the way, are being made to arm some of the German steamers, and then to allow them to resume their trips to the other sir’e, thus prepared for defence. PAUPER. MAINTENAXUE 1x ENGLAND.â€" Every body knows in a general way that the cost of maintaining the English pocr has been increasing greditly of late years but few, we suspect, are aware of the extent of that increase, In is startling to look back over a. series ot'years and observe how rapidly the expenditure under this head has been rising. In 1852 it was {ill-£00,000 ;in 1869 no 1355 than £7,700,000. Thus there was an increase of 57 per cent.. of which only 11 per cent. is explained by a difference in the number of paupers. which stood at 916 000 in 1852,and1,018,000 in 1869. The national debt of England at the close of the last year’wai £748,276,183, and since then the sum of £7,000,000 has been con. verted into a temporary annuity. The debt is now less than it has been since 1813.â€" It is no less than £120,000,000 beiuw the amount it stood at, in 1815. and £70,000,- 000 below the return of 1857, at the close of the Crimean war and Indian mutiny.â€" The interest of this debt. is £26,840,000 uyear, but £4,500,000 is temporary only, and will expire in 1885. The pennanent charge is less than it has ever been since 1,812. THE average number of persons living in a. single house in London is 8, in Berlin 32, in Paris 35, in St. Petersburgr 52, and in Vienna 55. The average prnporiinn of il- legitimate to lefitimate biths is in London 4 per cent; in Berlin 16 per cent.; in Paris 20 per cent; in St. Peterburg 26 per cent; and in Vienna" 51 per cent. Those figures strikingly show the effect of overcrowding on illegitimacy. For every 1000 inhabi- tants the average annual mortality in Lon- don 18 24, in Berlin 25, in Paris 28, in St. Petersburg 41, and in Vienna 47. NEURALGXA.â€"Use Dr. J.

THE DEBATE IN THE CORPS LEGISLATIF, The Tribune’s cut-respondent telegraphs from London that the telegraphic accounts of Friday’s debate in the Corps Legislatif were no better than carricatures. After the Due de Grammont‘s declaration a. demand was made for the despatches. M. Ollivier, after refusing to give them. was compelled to admit, that France had finally declared war on account of the Prussian dcspatch communicated to the European Courts, of the King’s refusal to receive the French Ant bassador, and that this despatch, thus made the basis of war, had not been seen by any French Minister. The Government had in fact declared war on what purported to be ‘an abstract of that despatch supplied by two ‘Frcnch spies, whose names were witheld. When war was announced, the Left refused |to join in the shouts of the majority. When the majority voted an extra war credit of five hundred million francs, the Left again sat, silent. The. majority thereupon began a vehement altercation. M. Thiers, after de- claring his love for his country. and said if ever there was a solemn day, it is this; when war should be declared nobody would grant to the Government more readily than he the means of conquering, “ but,” he continued, " our duty is to reflect; the resolution you have just adopted is the death of thousands of men; one instant I beseech you of reflect tion; bethink you of May 8th, 1866. You refused then to hear me when I sought to show you what. was about to happen; let that recollection persuade you to listen now. The principal demand of the Government has been conceded (interruption). My cont science tells me I fulfil my duty in resisting immrudent passions and representing soberly tn: countvi"s interest. Is this a time for you to break the peace on a. mere question of suscuptibility? You are sheddingr tor- rents of blood for a question of form. I ask for the despatches upon which the res- olution for war has been adopted. If I had the honor to govern my country I should have wished to give it time for reflection. I regard this war as an imprudence; and its occasion as ill chosen. More than any body else I desire, reparation for 1860; no doubt Prussia has deceived us; you do ‘not under- stand that I dischmgo the most painful duty of my life. I pity you;’iusl;ilt me if you will7 I will endure everything; but you do nor fulfil your whole duty, and that is why I call for the desnatohes. M. Ollivier. briefly replying, refused the (lesputches absolutely. M. Gumbetta renewed the demand. M. Ollivier replied, I will read two des- patches, but not the signatures, for our agents would be sent away' He then read part of the despatch, confirming the refusal of King William to receive the French Am- bussudor and two desputclzes from the French agents abroad giving the substance of Bis- murck’s circular. The circular itself he did not pretend to produce. He concluded by saying, we go to war with a light heart and confident in our army. We will tell the nvhole truth. What we could not endure was the semi-ofiicial communication to all Emope nfthe rejection of our ambassador â€"all the more significant because done in the most corteous terms. La Liberia, 3. vehement wax- organ. says the Right recewed M. Ullivier’s speech with consternation. y V’J‘hiérs attempted to reply, but was in {erruptcd. M. Thiersâ€"It is to a blunder that we owe war. M. Ollivier has evaded the question; Prussia ought to have been attached when she desired to unite the German States; then war would have been legitimate and we should lime been sustained. I blamed Sadowa at the time; to day the world de- mands legitimate complaints. Prussia also has committed a great fault in negotiating with Spain. Yet Prussia wishes peace and we have war. If we had still to requite te- nnneiation of the Hohcnzollern candidature 1 should be with you, but now that, we have obtained that, we demand something else. You had not only obtained your result, you had the form and substance both, yet you say Prussia has not fielded in form and we have been insulted. Public opinion will turn against us; the journals of Europe will be against us, Prussia never would have resumed this candidature, it would have been madness. M.‘Duvernois said, war is due to a Cabinet blunder. Great clnm'our and interruption here drowned M. Thiers V0106. Not one word of this speech was allowed to reach England by telegraph. There has been a systematic effort, to deceive Europe about public opinion in France respecting,r war, and to deceive France uboutthe opinion of Europe. The press censorship was never more active and unscrupulous. In spite of its first wavering, the English press now without exception charges France with the responsibility of war. The Due de Grain- mont’s statement with all its falsehoods im- poses on nobecly. The interview between Bencdetti‘ and the King is perfectly under- stood as u premeditated insult bx Benelletti and a violation of every diplomatic usage while Prussiu’s dignified attitude under re! peated provocation has won her the sympa- thy of Europe.

Eloqucnt addresses to the Crown are re- ceived at Berlin from the municipalities of the Kingdom. The Bavarian Chambers have granted the Government a creJit of twentv- seven million florins. MII)NIGHT.-In the House of Lords, Earl Russell enquired what were the Views and purposes of the Government in the present situation] on the continent; and Lord Cairns asked especially if steps had been when to enforce the noutralily laws. Earl Granville promised that the documents concerning the war would be laid before the House as soon as they were copied. In the House of Commons, Mr. Harcourt made enquiry touching measures tor the pre- servation of English neutrality. Mr. Glarl stone said that such enquiry was premature, coming as it did before the declaration of war had been made. While the Premier was thus speaking. a {lespateh from Lord Lyons was handed to him, announcing that the formal declaration of war had been sent by the French Government to Berlin. Mr. Gladstone then replied that all the papers would he submitted as soon as possible, and that a measure looking to the preservation of neutrality was in preparation. Particu- lar attention would be paid in that measure to the status of belligerent ships in British ports. After a discussion on the strength of the army. during which Mr. Osborne as- serted that the Government was unable to put fifty thousand men in the field, the Com- mons adjourned. ~ Aftér the disfiatch of some local business, the Housgiadjourqed A rumor of Russia‘s participation in the war caused an agitation, from which the stock market had not recovered at the close of the day.

ERALD, RICHMOND HILL, ONT, FRIDAY, JULY 22,1870. Wm wimlk “gmxm. In last week’s Economist they give a powerful and stirring resume of that played-out song, “ Beaty and the York Roads,” which has been a. stock subject for the past ten years with them. The trouble with our Markham friend seems to be that Hon. Wm. Macdougall, 0.13., and eX-G_of M. did not have the plea- sure of occupying that easy chair, except in the factory where it was made in To- ronto. The Leader, with its usual ‘ability, i return discloses some over- tures mad .by the Hon. David Reesmfl to Sir JohyAgMacdflonald at the time when Mr. Macdougall Was reported"tw have received his appointment as Gover-‘ nor of Manitoba. Mr. Becsor seems to have got a letter or character (save the mark !) from Mr. Maedougal, recom- ‘ mending him as qualified to fil‘. any ‘ office that Sir John had at his disposal. ‘ He appears not to have been particular as to which portfolio he was to have 3 under his control; even if Sir John had, ‘ resigned and placed the Markham philoâ€" sopher, as Attorney General, in his chair. His friends say that he would have pre- ferred the position of Minister of Public Works. We have “ pickled ” a Few iot- tings on this very subject, culled from every source, and' purpose, when necesâ€" sary to give “ the availableE’.’ the benefit of them at sdne future time. The Leader, we consider, has the best of it this time; the “ dubbin ” does not seem to be applied in the right manner. Oar friend ought to remember the old proverb, “ Time and thinking tame the strongest grief.” Since our last issue, France has de- clared war with Prussia. The proposal to elect Prince Leopold 0f Hohenzollern, as ruler of Spain, and the rumored insult of Count Benedetti were only pretexts for a quarrel. The actual object of' the struggle is an efl'ort to secure political standing and mllitary power, which has been held by one or other of the Euro- peanipowers. Prussia has, for a long time been engaged in the task of consoli- dating herself into a great confederation. She has already fought one bloody battle for the purpose, and succeeded to a great extent in acquiring territory at the expense of Austria’s humiliation, and Napoleon’s peace of mind. The task is still incomplete; south Germany still holds separate, and cannot be annexed without a breach of the treaty of Prague and great offence to France. Prussia is armed to the teeth, and is covetingT this Southern territory; they hate France with extreme bitterness. She wants no- thing but the pretext that will bear the the scrutiny of‘ Europe. She will pick up the gauntlet that Napoleon has thrown in her face. Prussia then, seek- ing the'anncxation of South Germany which Napoleon will not tolerate; he seeks the restoration to France of' the lthine frontier, which his rival will not tolerate either. This Spanish question is as good as any other by means of' which to inaugurate a contest for that Prussia and France must fight sooner or later there can be no doubt, for the settlement of questions that are a cause of deep mutual irritation. The Dominion Government and the U. S. authorities need not cavil any longer about the expenses of the Fenian invasion. W hen the decision of men of giant intellects have been given on any important question, it is usually accepted by all as final. Similarly the question, “ Would the British Govern- ment be justified in demanding the expenses of the Fenian raid from the Americans?” was decided in the affirmative; thus forming a precedent for the guidance of our legisla- tors at all future times. This was done at the Teston Temple, on the evening of the 13th inst. The heavy duties of chairman were ably performed by Daniel Malloy. The affirmative was argued by Daniel Kinnee, assisted by Messrs. John C. McQuarrie and John Cameron, of Maple; while the nega- tive was defended by Messrs. Henry Dice- man and John White. It would be folly for us to attempt to report the magnificent; out' bursts of unrestrained eloquence that. came from these golden-mouthed orators. All we can say is, let all those who wish to be edi- fied by the cream of oratory, attend the next discussion of some importance to be held at the Temple. ANOTHER BRANCH OF THE OLD IRISH STUCK.
