Yesterday's festivities, while enjoyed by many, have brought sadness to one family inthe death of a beautiful little girl of ten years of age, the daughter of Mr. Ince, of ihe Crown Land Deputment. The facts of the case show how earetul boys should be in handling fire-arms of any deserip- tion, even the ordinary toy cannon which looks but a trifling weapon, but which is just as deadly a weapon, pirhups, as those ‘of larger calibre. It appears that the girl had been out during the day, ans had just yeturned from a long walk with her father to their house on Richmond Street West. In the neighborhood of the door numbers of boys were playing themselves, fising off erackers, and other such Jise¢ amusements, A group of boys older than many of those about were engaged the front door of Mr. Ince’s House in firing off a miniature | cannon, and they had previously warned all the youngsters about pot to come near as there might be danger, he mouth of the cannon was pointed towards Mr Ince’s door, so that the shot would do no harm even when the cannon was fired. In the hurry and bustle among the boys, the mouth of the cannon was turned from the door, and when fired, the bullet with which it was loaded struck the unfortunate girl in the back of the neck although she was at the time over seventy feet distant, The ball entered the centre of the back of the neck, shattering, we understand, the spinal marrow, and causing a complete paralysis of the body below the shoulders, She was immediately carried into the house, and Drs, ILowson and Aikins were gent for, but of course relief was beyond medical skill. The poor girl v si ble, a:din speaking of thea ent, tre- quently made use of the expression. ‘1 knew that the boys wouldn't burt me. She lingered until this morning,about 8 80 clock. A post mortem examination by the medical men shows the above stute ot facts to be correct.—Afonireal Tel., May 26. 7 ee - The folowing are the opinions ex ed by the leading journals on the imp ment case :— The Teinps (Democratic) says that Mr. Jolmson hus been saved by legal forms only; he has been deposed in the minds of the people. The Journal des Debats (Orleans) says that while Mr, Johnson is acquitted, the vote was such as to render him powerless hereafter. La Liberte (Radical Opposition) says Ss. ach- simply that the verdict shows that liberty | is the best guarantee of justice. Che Constitutionel (semi-official imperial- ist) regards the vote as fatal to the Radical party. 'The Epoque was oF posed to ihe impeach- ment project from the beginning. It blames the Republicans for attempting to remoye the Exc cutive on grounds so slight, and says that a great political party could not have more clumsily lost its prestige. The Presse (Austro-Catholic) ventures no decided opirion on the merits of the guestionf but confines its remarks to admi- ration of the vitality of republican institu- tions, which permits the chief magistrate of torty millions of people to be brought to trial without bloodshed or national disquiet.

This difliculty, however, did not prevent the machine from depositing the seed perfectly. Mr. Milner, we hear, is now en- gaged in remedying the defect referred to, which, he says, cun be easily accomplished, We wish him success in his effort. : ‘This machine, the inventor states, is wholly original, not only as regards the manner in which it distributes the grain, butin the for- mation and action of the coulters, which move | on @ principle difiering trom any known in Europe or America. ‘Lo show tliat this sower Hist be somewhat unique, we Maty state that when in tll operation, so completely did it deposit the graif, cover it up and roll it, that gentlemen standing by declared that “it wis not sowing at all.” But Vhursday last was the secon day it was tested, and’ the above conclusion, which tainy of the spectators on the first occasion shared in, has been proved to be incorrect, from the tact that the grain SOWN Xt Its first testing—at least so we hear— | 18 now avove the ground in regular drills, Al some future time, we shall probably give A minute description of this new invention: but for the present, until a patent is securca, Al.

With respect to larceny it is proper for you to endeavor to as- certain from t:e nature of the evidence which will be brought before you, the object for whigh an article was taken. If you find that a person took an article secretly , and with in- tent to deprive the owner of it, then the act constitutes larceny, and if you find this to be tha case from the eviderfce submitted to you in these cases, then it will be yourduty to find true bills. With respect to the case for as- sault, the depositions are pretty lengthy, but from the evidence which you will hear you will be enabled easily to arrive ata conclusion. As to the other case. which is for forgery, it is well to remember that this constitutes » serions crime, as by this means men m.y be fraudu ently deprived of large sums of money, and if crimes of this kind should increase, this will be especially so in mercantile communi- ties, and therefore cases of this kind should be carefully enquired into. Jt appears that in this ¢ two orders were drawn, and the pay reeeived for them, and it is for you to consider if anothcr man’s naine was pat to them with intent to injure the interest of some yerson, itis not necessary to know whether the intention was to defraud James Yeo, or George Ellis, butit will be for you to say, did he siga these orders withintent to commit tergery. If you know of any other criminal cases it will be your duty to present them. Under the Liquor Actitis you duty to re- present any wio you know are selling without license, and to enquire into the conduct of Uiose who have licenses, but who may not be /contorming to the low, In these causes you are to hear evidences on both sides, and you have power to withhold or wholly to suspend their license, if you see cause to justify you in deing so. This is the term when consta- bles und fence viewers are appointed, and as | the law requires the court to strike off half the number presented, it will be neces- siry to prescot double the’ number re: qnired. These, gentlemen, are all the matters necessary for me to direct your attention to at present.” On ‘Tuesdi i y the following indictments were made by the Grard Jury: Ramsay rs. McDonald--Larceny. No Bill. Doyle vs. Fahey, Busus, and others tor as- sault. A true Bill. Hibbett vs. J. Wedge—Larceny. Bill J. Yeo vs. MceNeill—Forgery. A true Bill. J. Carruthers vs. Win, Hunter—Larceny .

One of the former is for delamation of charac: ter, and is being heard by the Court as we go to press—the details of this casu are of such a low nature as to forbid us saying more about it, A presentment was made by the Grand In- quest, against William Benjamin Dawson for Worgery, and we understand thit-an applica- tion will be made for his arrest in the Cnited States, and his delivery up to the authorities here, under the provisions of the Wxtraditivn ‘Treaty. In the case of Howat vs Leard, for de- femation of character, which occupied the Court the whole of Wednesday and part of Thuisday, the Jury gave a verdict for the Plaintiff for £200 damages, with costs.
