Scorr Act.—The movement for repeal of the Scott Act in Ontario counties goes on. Steps are being taken to petition for repeal in a number of counties, and the Monetary Times says in most cases success is regarded as cer- tain. The St. John 7elegraph thinks that the reason for this confidence is the inefliciency of the Act, though it appears to be carried out more successfully in Ontario than in New Brunswick.

John L. Sulli- van acted as referee. Steve Taylor and Ned MacAvoy seconded Lannon. Jim Godfrey and Pete McCoy seconded Godfrey. In the
ponent nearly whipped, but failed to follow up his advantage. First blood was scored for Lannon in the fifth round Much bad temper was shown by both men clinching often. Very little execution was done on either side in the last five rounds. At the end of the fifteentl round Lannon wished to continue, but the understanding was if neitber man was knocked out at the end of fifteen rounds, that the fight be declared a draw, and the referee so de- cided. Lannon weighed 185 and Godfrey about 175.

‘Gleanings From My Common-place
Books. INVENTION AND USE OF GUNPOWDER.
The only hope of salvation for the Greek Empire and the adjacent Kingdoms would have - been some more powerful weapen, some discovery in the art Of war, that should give them a decisive superiority over their Turkish foes. Such a weapon was in their hands; such a discovery had been made ‘. the critical moment of their fate. The ciemists of China or Europe had found, by casual or elaborate experiments, that a mixture of saltpetre, sulphur and charcoal, | uces, with a spark of fire, a tremendou. explosion. It was soon ob- served that if the expansive force were compressed in a strong tube, a bail of stone vr iron might be expelled with irresistible and destructive velocity. The precise era of the invention and application of gunpowder is involved in doubtful traditions and eyui- vocal language ; yet we may clearly discern that it was known before the middle of the fourteenth century ; and that before the end of the same, the use of artillery in battles and seiges, by sca and laud, was familiar to the states of Germany, Italy, Spain, France and England. The priority of nations is of small account ; none could derive any ex-
clusive benefit from their previous or superior knowledge; and in the comiaon improvement they stood on the same level
of gelative power and mi‘itary science. Nor was it possible to circumscribe the secret within the pale of the church ; it was dis- closed tothe Turks by the treachery of apostates and the selfish policy of rivais ; and the sultans had sense to adopt, and wealth to reward the talents of a Christian engineer. The Genoese, who transported Amwrath into Europe, must be accused as his preceptors; and it was probably by their hands that his cannon was cast and direct- ed at the seige of Constantinople. The first attempt was indeed unsuccessful ; but in the general warfare of the age, the advantage was on their side who were most commonly the assailants; for a while the zroportion of the attack and defence was suspended; and this thundering artillery was pointed against the walls and towers which had been erected only to resist the less potent engines of antiquity. By the Venetians, the use of gunpowder was com- municated without reproach to the Sultans of Egypt and Persia, their allies against the Ottoman power; the scent was soon propa- gated to the extremities of Asia; and the advantage of the European was confined to his easy victories over the savages of the new world. If we contrast the rapid pro gress of this mischievious discovery with the slow and laborious advances of reason, science, and the arts of peace, a philosopher, according to his temper, will laugh or weep at the folly of mankind.—Gibbens’ Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
MARIE ANTOINETTE, QUEEN OF FRANCE, FROM ‘URKE'S *‘ REFLECTIONS ON THE REVO LUTION IN FRANCE.”
itjis now sixteen or seventeen years since [ saw the Queen of France, then the dauphiness, at Versailles ; anc surely never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seem- ed to touch, a more delightful vision. 1 saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just began to move in—glittering like the morning star full of life, and splendor, and joy. Oh! what a revolution! and what a heart must I have to contemplate without emotion that elevation and that fall! Little did I dream, when she added titles of ven- eration to that enthusiastic, distant, re- spectful love, that she should even be oblig- ed to carry the sharp antidote against dis- grace concealed in that bosom ; little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disaster fallen upon her in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers. [ thought ten thousand
swords must have leaped from their scabbards to avenge even a look that threatened her with insult.
3ut the age of chivalry is goue. That of sophisters, economists and calculators has succeeded ; and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever. Never, never more shall we behold that generous loyalty to rank and sex, that proud submission, that dignified obedience, that subordination of the heart, which kept alive, even in servi- tude itself, the spirits of an exalted free- dom. The unbought grace of life, the chief defence of nations, the nurse of manly sentiment and heroic onterprise, 1s gene! It is gone, that sensibility of principle, that chastity of honor, which felt a stain
like a wound, which inspired courage
. . . iv . . . 5 whilst it mitigated ferocity, which en- nobled whatever it touched, and under
which vice itself lost half its evil by losing all its grossness. BURKE S SIMILIES. One of the happiest of Burke's homely similies is contained in his reply to Pitt, on the subject of the commercial treaty with
France, in 1787—Pitt, he contended, had
