BULK nearly twice the amount of the interest and charges upon the English national debt. But this only shows a portion of the French burdens. There is talk of rebuilding the fortifications, reorganizing the army and strengthening the nary. The maintenance of the army and navy will inrolve tbe expenditure of perhaps twenty millions annually, for wmh time time to come, to say nothing of the cost of reconstructing the chain of fortifications. And besides thene ehaii.

there will bo tho cost of the civil a linini'tintion. Altogether the burdens will rea-h something like eighty millions of pound sterling per annum. This is, truly, a fearful load for any nation to bear upon its iniil-M'ies. A Hint in the Jlnxh.

Twelfth Vmy, The proceedings of the Asaize Court wero brought to a close to-day, it being one of the longest sessions of the kind held in this city for some time past. The jurymen were dismissed by tho Judge with the following characteristic speech: Gentlemen of tho Tetit Jury- there is nothing further for you to do, and I have great pleasure in discharging you. You can go to the Sheriff 'a otfice and get paid.

Jurymen Thank you my lord Thank you my lord 1 (Exit jurymen.) Mr. Lees I would movo for tho judgment of the Court against John Burns lor larceny on two indictments. Judgo Burns have you anything to say why tho sentence of tho Court should not be pronounced on you for stealing a trunk and slippers from George Murphy, and some other articles from O. Latremouillo Prisoner I have nothing to cay sir. Judge It seems you are a voiy bad boy as you have pleaded guilty to live indictments.

You are now not sixteen years of age and it will not do you any good to send you to gaol, so I will send you where you will bo taught to read and write, where you will reform and become a good member of society. I mean tho Reformatory, back of Toronto at Penetanguishene. It seems you have been in tho Reformatory belore, and you have been brought up without proper training. If you had the advantage ot parents you might perhaps have been a better boy, however, hero you are. and the question is, what is tho best to do with you? If you wore sent tojaolyou would come out again not one whit better, therefore it is desirablo to reform your character, and we will send you to the Iteforniatory.

It you do not behave yourself when you come out again, they will move judgment on tho other indictments that are held over you, and you will bo sent to tho Penitentiary. Tho sentence of tho court is that your ure to bo confined in tho Reformatory Prison of I'pper Canada l'ene-tanguiShene for two years on the first count, and one year on tho other one, in all three years.
