Governor-General, Lord Monck, acted upon
in some way by misrepresentation, gave an
order for the prisoner's detdntion, which was
held by the yoal authorities to override the
order of Mr. Justice Drammond tor his liber- |
ation. . It is a case which demands, and must
receive, inquiry ; and it secnis to justity ale the
misgivings which, Mr. Mill. and) Mr, Torrens
fn the Inst session -of Parliament expressed
when the new Extradition Act was under dis-
cussion, No man was more convinced of the
iloeguity of his capture than Lamirande. In
Canada he felt himself safe. “Vrohably the
charge against him of robbery and forgery is
correct enough? but inthe fice of such an
opinions the one given by Mr. Justice Drum-
mond, in Montreal, it was highly improper—
most illegal as well as undignified—to give
himup. The right of asylum was never in-
tended to pretect robbers und forgers; but if
the regular rules of, law in. their ease are
to he broken and setaside, may not the law be
violated with equal impunity in the ease of
political refugees ?

The victorious Prussian army has made its
triumphal entry into Berlin, and, as may be
natorally imagined, was enthusiastically re-
ecived by the inkabitunts of the capital. It
could scarcely be otherwise, seeing how énor-
mously their success hns added to the strength
and glory of Fatherland. Count Bismark, the
moving spirit in Prussia, who directs the King,
and inaugurated the late successes, was just
recovering from an illness that atone time
threatened to be fatal. He was well enough,
however, to be able to show himself, and was
invested by the monarch with the rank of
general, Of course a general must command,
and so he was made commanderof a Landwehr
regiment. All the members of the Royal
Family were present, and amongst them were
the Crown Prince and Prince Frederick Char-
both being ‘invested with the order of
merit. The promotidns of others who had
distinguished themselves in the war were nu-
merovs. Berlin will be the scene of grand
demonstrations for some days to come. French
manners and habits are slavishly followed by
the other portions of'the continent, and when
a French army returns from. victory, the peo-
ple of the finest city in the world think they
cannot do too much to show their appreciation
of its valour. ‘This is the feeling under which
the Berliners are at present laboring, and no
one can grudge them their rejoicings. Deace,
it will be seen, has been made between Prussia
ond Saxony,

Whien Italy, after her great acquisition of

Venetia, sinks down into her normal state, the
Executive of the country will have plenty to
do. Many things must be reformed and even
eradicated before she ean be trirly said to
rise to the dignity ot a civilized and progres-
sive nation. Brigandism, at all events, must
be exterminated, Palermo has recently been

the prisons, the custom-house, and «the port.
This is a state of things which would disgrace
even the Turks or Russitns. The Govern-

ment at Florence, when it became aware of

what was taking plice, sent 1,500 fresh troops
to Palermo, and fourteen battalions hive been
ordered trom Leghorn, Ancona, and ‘Tarento.
it is pleasant to know that this outhreak has
been no disturbance elsewhere in Sicily. At
Messina the National Guards have offered
theirservices to the Government, and in other
parts of the islund similar offers have been
made. It is clear, nevertheless, that a’ con-
siderable time must elapse before English
travellers can be induced to trust themselves
implicitly in some parts of Italy,

Tn the south-east of Europe, the position of
affairs is anything but satisfactory. It was
previously known thaé Candia was ina state

‘Turks brought an army of £0,000 men into the
field, the insurgent Greeks 40,000. But the
latter, badly armed and badly led, were un-
eijtial to the contest, and were defeated, suf-
furing severely. ‘This affords the opportunity

doubt they were, for Chey must strongly have
reminded Lord Harroby s audience of similar
sentiments which have often fallen trom the
lips of Birmingham's own member, Join
Bright. Between the peer and the plebcian,
however, in a public sense, the difference is
very nnirked. © When the great Quaker goes
to the cipital of the Midland Counties to make
a specch, he is accompanied by at least a hun-
dived stenographers from all parts of the king-
dom, a fourth partof them probably coming
from London,und ina few hours the sentiments
to which he gives expression are tlished to the
rémotest corners of the Brinsh Isles. When
the Earl of Hlirrowby expresses these new
and equally cularged views, itis only the lo-
cal press of the town which pays the least at-
tention to him. But there is one passage of
Lord Horrowby’s address which deserves the
Widest circulation and the greatest attention,
and it is another proof of his desire to redress
the errors of the past. It is so important,
coming from such aun, trained in such a
school, that it ought to interest Englishmen in
every part of the globe,—any part, in fitct,
where the English Linguageis spoken. There
is much good in general science andin the ac-
quisition of languages. but above all things let
me advise you not to neglect the cultivation
of your own language. ‘There is no language
that contains so much noble thought, so much
beautiful sentiment, so much knowledge; and
yet, to v great proportion of our educated
classes, the beauties of our English language
are almost totally unknown—I believe un-
known to an extent which exists in no other
country. I believe no Frenchman would be
considered fit to be allowed to pass out of
school without having read the first French
classical authors, and there is ne German or
Italian who does not stand in a similar position ;
yet how many pass out of our schools, high
and low, without having read a word of Shike-
spexre or of Milton, or of any of our great
prose writers? Is it not a scandal that this
should be?” ‘This is a practical view ofa high-
ly important question, and the tendency of
modern thought runs in the same direction,

Tt is satisfictory to ky ow that all diMiculties
e mnected with the settlement of the Venetian
debt are now hrranged, and if the treaty of
peace is signed, as will probably be the case
atthe latest, on the Ist of October, Victor
Emmanuel will make his entrance into Venice
inten or twelve days following. Extremes
ofien meet, and the Italians and Austrians,
from being the bitterest foes, appear to be in
afair way of becoming faust friends. In a
commercial, as well as in a fraternal sense,
this new and improved feeling will be of the
greatest advantage to both countries.

comes from Madrid, through Paris, of the

the worst that can be said ofthe state of things
in the Spanish capital.

Affuirs in the East of Europe become every
day more serious. The intelligence from
Candia is obscure and unsatisfactory, and a
rupture of a formidable kind between the
Porte and Russia, the latter the greater pro-
tector of the Christians in the East, appears
inevitable,

On Tuesday, the 23rd of August, the sub-
governor of Rethemnos, haying returned by
an Imperial Turkish steamer from Chanes,
were he went the day hefore by the Austrian
steamer to mect the governor, gave some or-
ders to 120 Turks, natives of the island, who
went out in the neighborhood of the town, and
killed ‘about 150 Christians—men, women,
and children, who happened to be at home.

On Wednesday, the 24th of August, 80
Christians assembled for the purpose of bury-
ing the assassinated people. The Turks in
the town having got information of this, went
out—about 1500 im number—and attacked

tocs. Wewere glad for their sakes, as
well as for our own, that the day was
such a fineone, Potato digging weather
is often very unpleasant weather indeed.
We have most vivid recollections of the
misery felt by ourselves in our younger
days whcn we were obliged to pick pota-
toes off the cold damp ground, a raw
wind blowing at the same time that chill-
ed one to the very bones. How we
shivered in the early mornings as we
scraped half aninch of hoar frost from
off our hoe handle, and how our ‘tecth
chattered as we with numbed fingers
painfully picked the spuds out of cakes of
half frozen mould. It was cold comfort
sure enough, yet food was sweeter, sleep
sounder, and life altogether more enjoy-
able in those days than in these.
Arrived in New London, we were at
home among old and tried friends. To
say that we were kindly and hospitably
treated, can conyey but a faint idea to the
reader's mind of our truly hearty High-
land welcome, ‘Fhose who once gain the
esteem and regard of the New London
people, will find that more loyal and con-
stant friends do not exist on the face of
the broad earth. Their open handed un-
ostentatious hospitality to utter strangers
is a matter of surprise and admiration to
many—but their kindness to those who
have once gained their confidence and
won their friendship, is literally unbound-
ed. We believe that we have a slight
claim on the good offices of some of the
New London people, and the hearty sin-
cere unaffected manner in which that claim
has been acknowledged, has been to usa

he turned out-a stupid indolent chicken-
hearted lout, his grand name so far from
being a benefit would be a perpetual re-
proach to him. “But Clifton, though not
within many miles of anything which
can with the least propriety be called a
cliff, is a very pretty little place, The
view fi-mif isa more than ordinarily
fine one. The hamlet consists of two
really Handsome stores, a blacksmith’s
forge, & shoemaker’s-and satller’s shop, a
storehouse or two, and a farm house with
out-buildings. We happened in the days
lang syne to be acquainted with Mr, D.
McKay and Messrs. Pidgeon & Stewart,
the merchants of the place, and can testify
to the fact of their being jolly good fel-
lows, every one. We were really sur-
prised to find two such fine establishments
at Graham's Cross—we beg its par-
don—at Clifton. The assortment of
goods in both, struck us as being very
large and. varied, The blacksmith, who
employs two hands, came as near as
possible up to our beau ideal of a working
man. He seemed to have been the very
man who sate for Longfellow’s life-like
picture of the Village Blacksmith, Here
it is :—

The Smith, a mighty man was he, —

With large and sinewey hands, /- .

is hair is black and crisp and long,
His face is like the tan,
His brow is wet with honest sweat,
He earns whate’er he can, A
And looks the whole world in ‘tlhe face,
For he owes not any man.” .
On leaving Clifton we had the pleasure
of shaking hands with Father Graham
himself, On meeting a long absent
friend, the old gentleman's thoughts very
naturally reverted to the customs of his
younger days. He almost regretfully
told us in his honest broad Scotch phrase,

fighting us used to be at the Cross was
awful to see and hear. But its all dif-

the change was much «needed,’"*was his
parting remark. We were sincerely re-
joiced to hear this testimony to the bene-
fit of temperance, from one whose pre-
judiees were “evidently in favor of the
drinking customs of ‘the olden tiines. We
hope that the temperance cause will con-
tinue to flourish at Clifton, and in other
parts of the Island. We know of more

years old, called Marmoraki, and four others,

On the same day 500 Turkish families en-
tered the town from the village Perivolia, and
by foree ejected the Christians from their
houses and took possession of them. All the
Christians in Rethemnos were in great terror,
and from that time all communieation with
the villayes was cut off. In the above en-
gugement it is reported that Tyivi, a man re-
puted for bravery, was killed, and foar or five
other Turks were wounded.

On the 29th August the Christians descend-

PLAGUE OF GRASSHOPPERS IN TILE
WEST,

Our Western exchanges are all more or
less excited on the subject of grasshoppers,
which are represeuted as numerous as. lo-
custs in Egypt during the reign of Pharaoah
some time ago. The Wyandotte Gazeile
says that on Cross Creek, between Topeka
and Wamego, they fill the air like snow-
flakes in a winter storm. In Marshal
county they have made their appearance
in myriads, doing immense injury to the
crops and grass, ‘The insects are suid to
resemble somewhat the common prarie
isshoppers with some characteristics of
the locust. ‘They are travelling east, and
are destroying everything vegetable along
the route.

The «Kearney J/erald says the whole
country for miles around is filled with
grasshoppers, they ave destroying the
crops--stulk and branch—with alarming
brevity, By the last of this weck they will
have destroyed the last vestige of culttra-
ted vegetation, and will then commencé
on prarie grass and sod production,

western Kansas are overrun by these pests,

We spent the night under the hospitable
roof of another old friend. Here a very
pleasant evening glided by as we chatted
about old times and old acquaintances.
Our friend's carcer is a striking example
of what may be effected in this Island by
energy, industry and intelligence. With
no other capital to begin with than a pair
of willing hands and an active mind, he
has made for himself, out of the green
woods, a splendid farm. On this farm
he has built as comfortable a house as
any man could wish to live in. He has
surrounded himself with every thing ne-
cessary to the successful prosecution of
his business. He has done more than
this—he has reared a numerous family,
and has provided his sons with farms, as
they grew to man’s estate, and we should
not at all wonder if he'd a snug little pile
of cash secured somewhere or other out
of harrn’s way. With such examples of
success, by ordinary means, before off
eyes, is it not folly to say that this is a
poot country, And in every settlement
mn the Island can be seen more than one
instance of similar success under even less
promising circumstances.

We were surprised to find that the
people of Margate are obliged to trudge
twice a week to Kensington, for their
letters and papers. A post office ought
long ago to have been established in or
near Margate. We believe that the fault
lies principally with the people them-
selves. How they haye so long patiently
borne so great an inconvenience is a
mystery to us. From Margate we turned
our horse's head toward Summerside,and
arrived home very much pleased with our
down cast trip.
