The‘ party left Fort William on the 4th of, August and stopped two days at Porn Francis, at the head of Rainy Lake.l The journey on the whole is described, as charming. notwithstanding some; little unpleasantness occasionally. They had several meetings with the, Indians, some of them fine stalwart‘i ‘men, but generally a miserable set: The route taken lay from Fort Wil-' ham to Dog Lake, thence to Rainyl Lake, Lake of the Woods, Winnipeg River. and across Winnipeg Lake to Red River. On Winnipeg River, the party Were twice. on the same day, very near meetingr a watery grave while running the rapids. Once two canoes. with eleven men in each, were near being lost. They met severe gales in crossing some ofthe traverses on the Lakes, but ultimately reached their destination in safety. Two of the men were at one time seriously ill, as was Mr. Dawson, the head en- ‘gineer. whom they were obliged to leave behind at the Islington Mission. oti Winnipeg River. A gentleman lcounected with the expedition deâ€" scribes the Red Red River Settlement las a succession of numerous small vil- lages and detached houses scattered .along both banks of the river for about thirty-five miles.

The sailor told him that one night, while at sea, the captain came on deck and espied three or four sailors in the rigging playing at cards by the light ofa lantern. He called out to them, “ Aloft there, extinguish that luminatorrz” the men took no heed. He called again, “I say, extinguish that lumiriator ;” still they paid no at- tention. He called again, with the like result. Irritath at their obstin- teuant, told him of the circumstance, and desired him to bring the men be- fore him. On hearing what had taken place, the lieutenant said, “ Oh, sir, they did not understand you. I warrant they pay attention to what I sav.” He then went on deck, accom- pzfnied by the captain, and hailed the tars aloft, saying. “ Aloft there, douse that glim."

Ilow she (ibtaiuccl this honor we shall lay before ottr readers. Lord Done- ruile; Miss St. Legcr's father. a very zealous maSori, hold a warrant, and occasionally opcucd lodge at Done- railc IIotisc, his sons and some inti- mate friends assisting; and it is said that never were the masonic duties more rigidly performed than by them. Previous to the initiation of a gentle- man tthhc first steps ofmasonry Miss St. Leger, who was a young girl hap- pened to be in an apartment adjoining the room generally used as a lodge room. This room at the time was un- dergoing some alteration ; among other things, the wall was considerably re- duced in one part. The young lady having heard the voices of the free- masoiis, and prompted by curiosity natural to all to see this mystery, so long and so secretly locked up from public view, bad the courage to pick a brick from the wall with her sissors, and witnessed the ceremony through the first two steps. Curiosity satis- fied, fear at once t00k possession of her mind. There was no mode of escape except through the very room where the concluding pai‘tofthe second step was still being solemnized, and that being at the far end. and the room a very large one, she had i‘eSIilution sufficiently to attempt her escape that way ; and with light but trembling steps glided along unobserved, laid her hand on the handle of the door, and gently opening it, before her stood a grimâ€"looking tylcr. with a drawn sword. A shriek that pierced through the apartment alarmed the members ofthc lodge, who, all rushing to the door, and finding that Miss St. Leger had been l'l the room during the (cere- mony, iii the first. priroxvism of their rage, her death was resolved on ; but from the movingr supplication of her youngest bi‘otlicl‘, her life was saved. on r-midlton llf‘hOl‘ going through the whole of the solemn ccreii'ioriy she had unlawfully \Vlllll'SSCLl.

The lady was cousin to Gniieral Ari- [bony St. Leger. governor of St. Lucia, who instituted the interesting race and the cclebratel Doncaster St. Leger stakes. Whenever a benefit was given at the theatres in Dublin or Cork for the Masonic Female Orphan Asylum, she walked at the head of the frccmasons with her apron and other insigna of freemasonry, and sat in the front row of the stage-box. The house was always crowded on those occasions. Her portrait is in the lodge-room of almost every lodge in Irelandâ€"English Paper. Aercnorr: on THE ELECTRIC TELE- GRAPH.â€"I think the most curious fact, taken altogether, that I ever heard of the electric telegraph was told me by a cashier of the Bank of England. “ Once upon a time, then, on a certain Saturday night, the folks at the bank could not make the balance come right byjust £100. This is a serious mat- ter in that little establishment: Ido not mean the cash, but the mistake in arithmetic; for it occasions a work of scrutiny. An error in balancing has been known, I am told, to keep a dele- gation of clerks from each office at work sometimes through the whole night. A hue and cry was of course made after this £100, as if the old lady in 'I‘hreadneedle street would be in the G/ze'te for want of it. Luck- ily on the Sunday morning a clerk (in the middle of the sermon, I dare say, it the truth was known) felt a suspicion ofthe truth dart through his mind quicker than any flash of the telegraph itself. He told the chief cashier on Monday morning that per- haps the mistake might have occurred in packing some boxes of specie for the West Indies. which had been sent to Southampton for shipment. The suggestion was immediately acted'up- on. Here was a raceâ€"lighting against steam! and steam with 48 hours’ start given. Instantly the wires asked, “whether such a vessel had left the harbour.” “Just weigh- ing anchor,” was the answer. “ St0p The London “ Morning Post" ofa' recent date. positively announces that the Gover- nor General ot‘ India has been recalled. journal has the news.

It appears from criminal statistics in England. that of 2.357 prisoners iii the Surrey jail. only 350 were married. and these had an average of less than three children each. showing the huiiianizing tendency of the marriage relation. and also that its responsibilities deter. far more than its burdens and difficulties provoke. the crimi- nal inclinations of the lo..er classes. The “ St. John's (N. B.) Leader,” of the 12th instant. says :â€"" We understand that in future the Government will draw specie from England instead of bills. The calibre of all the banks have likewise been stiflly replenished to meet any demand that might be likely to be mtlde lll oti them.
