He said that' three years ago Libexals had two thirds of the -that at the next election the majority would have been greatly increased. But a change was brought about by a sort of political, clerical combination. According to his account, the Methedist Episcopal- Church are the ruling denomination in that Province.

Overtures were made by the Tories to produce a combination between them and the Wesleyan Method ate of England. Two of their ministers went over to negotiate the treaty, and received £1900 cash, and promises made that they have their share of the funds from the clergy lands, now appropriated to the Church of England exclusively. By these means the members of the Legislature were gained over to the Tory cause. Out of 18 000 of their constituents of that denomination, all went with them but 1100, who seceded. He said that the cause of the rebels was held warmly at heart by all of American they would have joined them, had the breaking taken place under more favorable circumstances, or if they had been able te maintain themselves for a sufficient that' a greater number would leave Canada than had joined the insurrection.

He spoke of Lord Dur-1 ham's course as being highly approved of by the Liberals, and said that he was exceedingly popular among them. I give you his ideas, as he gave them to me, without vouching for the accuracy of his knowledge. There were some things he could not explain satisfactorily, to my comprehension. I came, as I told you, the last thirty miles to Detroit by rail road. This is part of one which the Michiganders are making across to St.

Joseph's. Another one parallel, and but a few miles south of it, is about being made, in the States of Ohio and Indiana, from the Maumee river to Michigan city. The two rail roads, on the same route, made in a spirit of rivalry, may be of benefit to the country equal to their cost; but as sources of profitable income, they must sadly interfere with each other. Yet there will be an immense travel upon them; for few will wish to make the tedious circuit of the Lakes, when they can shorten the distance so much by one of these rail roads. I have seen a great deal of trouble about money, in passing through this State.

lers frequently had nothing that innkeepers and stage agents would take. They offered wild cats, which they had received perhaps a stage or two back, and which they had there been told were perfectly good; but now they could not get them off at more than half price I recommend to travellers through Michigan, to go supplied with specie, and to take no bills in change; for they cannot put the least con6. dence in what they are told by innkeepers and others as to the value of the bills they will try to put off upon them. Do you know what wild cats are? They are the bills of Banks organized under a general law, by which law real estate is required to be pledged amply sufficient to meet all the debts of the Banks. And you will find 64 Safety printed on the bills.

But the safety fund" is not like that of New York. Ard either by mismanagement of commissioners, or defects of the system, confidence in the bills is so low, that few people are willing to take them at any rate, and never without a great discount. I arrived at Detroit at 6, P. M. and went im.

mediately on board the Buffalo, a first rate steam boat, which was 1 to sail at 7. Here I. found a gentleman who had crossed the Lake from Chicago in the same boat with myself. Fle left the boat at Michigan city, and I expected to see no more of him. But it seemed that he found a quicker route than I did, for he arrived at Detroit seven hours before me.

But I found on inquiry that his stage had travelled day and night; whereas, ours had only travelled -from 3, A. M. to 7 or 8, P. We pay seven dollars from Detroit to Buffalo, which makes my expenses from Chicago thirty dollars ten dollars more than to have taken the circuit of the Lakes. W.

BLACK LIST. The publication of the names of delinquent subscribers is becoming quite fashionable among our cotemporaries. We shall have to adopt a similar course with some of our subscribers unless they fork over shortly. We could name a number of individuals, both in and out of the city, who owe for two or three years who have been so often called upon that our patience is nearly exhausted. We trust they will take the hint and save us the unpleasant duty of exposing their delinquency.

For the sake of seeing the country, and for expedition, I chose the land rout across "At half past 9.

A. M. we started in greater, Michigan. the James Allen to cross the Lake." We passed and stopped three quarters of a Michigan city, mile from shore to land in a boat with passen. and some freight; tor the water is too shalgers low to allow us to approach nearer.

Here we shore a boat that was running on this saw on route within a fortnight, but was driven on shore and wrecked in the high wind of Sept. 1st.They are building out piers here between which they intend to scrape out the sand and make a channel. the Lake is dangerous, in consequence of the want of good harbors. All that we could see of the shores from Chicago to St. Joseph's, appeared to consist of high sand hills: We arrived at the latter place at 9, P.

Here, ascending a considerable bluff, we found, after half a mile's walk, a large, new, brick hotel, at some distance from the settlement. This hotel has the largest public. is, the largest bar room, the largest drawing room and dining room, and the largest reading room, (being furnished with two newspapers,) of any that I know But' so much space i is taken up by the public rooms that little could be afforded for lodging. rooms. So at least judged, trom my close, room, with two narrow beds, one of them already tenanted.

We found however, a very civil and accommodating landlord, formerly of Bangor. Before it was quite. cay-light, and before we eould "exactly see what sort of a place it was, we left St. Josepir's, in an uncovered wagon without springs: In this we rode twenty-four miles, over a rough road. At the end of that distance we were transferred to an old coach, razed, by having the top cut off, to accommodate, I suppose, in passing through the trees.We reached Kalamazoo, about fifty miles, in the beginning of the evening.

Our route was almost entirely through oak openings that is, through woods of oak, where the trees stand so thinly as to allow the ground to be covered with herbage.The inhabitants spoke highly of the fertility of the soil, but it had not in my eyes the rich ap: pearance of The corn was not waving like the ocean, in boundless fields, promising its produce in unstinted profusion. It looked rather like that of the eastern States, small, and as if each plant standing, by itself, were an object of labor.

Wheat is however in this State more productive, proportionably, than corn. It was selling in the interior at fifty cents a bushel: We passed, along the road, many small lakes, and many marshes or meadows. It is believed that these contribute greatly to the fever and ague that pre vail so extensively in this State. There seems, from all that we hear, to be hardly any: families at this time that have not one or more among them sick. In some places there are pol well ones enough to take care of the sick, nor enough to get in their out crop.

have heard of farmers offering balf their crop unerely for cutting. Yet some say that this disease is easily cured if taken at the onset. A fellow passenger in the stage, pointed out to me a plant with. a white flower, growing in a swamp, which he said was called the ague plant. He said that a strong decoction of it taken at the beginning would draw off the disorder, as he had experienced in his own case; having had an attack many years ago, which he treated in this way; since which he had, been entirely free from it.

He said that in general people did not a luck it early enough and decidedly enough. Any strong bitter serviceable. Quinine, the regular remedy, not how to be had in Michigan, their supply having been exhausted. Fever and ague, however, like other diseases, is different in different constitutions, and requires different treatment, adapted to circumstances. Certain pills, called are at this time in great repute here, as a specific.

The fret thirty or forty miles from St Joseph's, the country is but little settled, and has an uninviting, back woods appearance. After that, you are surprised at the number of thriving villages, to use an expressive western phrase, "4 right smart Tittle villages," that seem to have sprang up within two or three years, all along the route. On. the stage in this toote I fell into convercation with a farmer, of Upper Canada, and me his vieww-of things there. He had been westward, to look out 'land for thirty familles, that he said intended to remove into the United Surtes, and probably on to Rock river.

We learn that those Judges who were willing that the people should be heard, made out correct. returns of the County on return day, Friday, and handed them to the Sheriff- who in fulfilment of his duties forwarded them to Harrisburg. On Saturday, those return Judges who had been unfortunately induced to hesitate between duty and party feeling, carried to the Sheriff another set of returns. These of course could not be sent to Harrisburg, inasmuch as one set of returns had already been forwarded, This State of affairs so disasterous to the VanBuren men, brought about by the greediness of Mr. Charles J.

PRECOCITY. The returns of the number of children i in the several school districts in Connecticut, between the ages of four and sixteen, required by law to be made annually, for the purpose of regulating the distribution of the a- vails of the school fund, show this year a remarkable fact. 'The Hartford Courant states that the names of a mother and child, both between the ages of four and sixteen, are returned 88 among the children attending a distriet school in one of the western towns.

This fact is- probably without precedent in New- England.

Brown, proceeded to the examination and enquiry. And such a revolting scene of horror and bloodshed is probably hardly without a parallel. From the testimony, there seemed to be no doubt resting on the minds of the jury, that the deceased, Sophia Daman, came to her end by being wilfully murdered by Henry Daman, her husband, by cutting her we believe, was the substance of the verdict in the case.

Some of the testimony disclosed in the exami. nation was too revolting to relate in this public inanuer. But we will attempt to give some of the particulars. The house was characterised as one of illhad been visited that night by wretches equally detestable in our view with some of those whe dwelt therein, but not so well knewn-that a controversy had taken place between the hasband, Daman, and his wife, the deceased, in relation to the visitors -and that in the affray Daman procured a razor while his wife was in bed and cut her throat nearly from ear to ear, severing the windpipe, and both the great arteries nearly off. He then attempted to cut his own throat, bat did not so effectually succeed as to destroy life.

He admitted that he killed his wife and intended to destroy himself, not having any desire to live longer, and we should so judge from his wretched appearance at the time. It further appeared in evidence that those who visited the house that night carried with them a jug of rum, or that a jug of rum was brought into the room just before the controversy -and that Daman drank of it two or three times, that there was another men and his wife in abother bed in the room on the floor when the dispute commenced between Dampan and his wife- that this man who belonged to the house, remained there in bed when the murder was committed his wife being frightened had left the housethe man in bed on the floor had a child with him left there by the mother- his location WAS From the Rutland( (Vt.)
