| defence consists chiefly of mighty iron-clad |

forts, armed with the heaviest artillery, Fort Constantine, one of the strongest, is to be armed with forty-eight guns, of 7

Forty of these are already mounted, The chief feature in the defences of Constantine is a circular tower, in the interior of which works a platform capable of being raised up and down, and carrying | an enormous gun. Another af the new | forts is reperted to be still stronger—or | rather intended to be still stronger when | completed. It consists of six revolving | turrets, worked by steam, and armed with two Il-inch guns; these being protected by 17 inches of iron in four layers, backed by teak and angle-iron. Jf the fort were finished, it would be extremely powerful. but the work on it is almost at a standsstill, and it will be years ere it will be fit to resist an enemy. It is stated that the famous iron-clad ‘ Peter the Great,’ which Mr. Reed endeavored to use as a bug~bear to trighten the Admirality with, is also ina backward state, the turrets not being in place, and the guns for its armament not cast.

Several representative Canadian houses have been pressed pretty hardly of late. Some of them are largely concerned in the Jacques Cartier Bank business, and others have been indulging too recklessly in sub- urban real estate speculations.

One of the most murderous assaults which has ever happened took place on the 29th ult., at Hamilton, Ontario, at the house of a wagon-maker named Billings. It seems he and his wife were quarrelling, when he seized an iron poker and dealt her an awful blow on the head. Blood flowed freely. The wretch, not content with this, jamped on her, and afterwards tried to choke her. One of the men hear- ing the noise, rushed in and saved her,

Two maurders are reported in Ottawa. A special (Aug. 25) gives the following pars ticulars:—‘‘ Some three weeks ago Henry Percy was beaten bya man named Gauy, reau, in the emigrant shed near the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Railway, His head was seriously cut in several places. and other injuries were also sustained. He was taken to “the Roman Catholic hospital, where he lingered in great pain and agony until this morning at 10 o'clock, when he expired from the effects of his wounds. Last night about twelve o’clock a man nemed dward Burns, 55 years of age, while returning home on York street, was attacked by three roughs, who knocked him down and cut his throat with a razor, and then threw him into the main sewer excavation.”

Qn Saturday evening, 28th ult., after a Grand Trunk freight train had crossed the Beloril Bridge over the Richelieu River, Quebec, the bridge was swung open for the passage of a vessel. Scarcely, however, had this been done before the coupling of one of the cars near the engine gave way, and seven of the cars, loaded with wheat, corn, &c., came rushing back down the grade and plunged one after the other into the river. The cars are, of course, badly damaged, and the grain will be destroyed. Up to about 9 o’clock this forenoon no efforts had been made to take the cars out of the river, and of course the passage of boats is for the time impeded, No one was injured. This spot will be remembered as the scene of the terrible accident some yeaas a when ee emigrant train fell through the open bridge, causing a dread» ful loss of life.
