The British American Provinces• (From the Times' Correspondent) QUEBEC, Aug. 10. ; Whatever may be the case in Upper Canada and the region of the Great Lakes—that portion of British Canadian territory most easily accessible from the United States, and least defensible in a war against that Power—it is clear that in Lower Canada, or in all that portion between Montreal and Quebec, there is uncommonly little agitation or ex citement on the question of Confederation. To judge from the correspondence of the New York papers, it would appear that the people of both the Canadas, Upper and Lower, spoke, wrote, and thought of nothing else but the great crisis in their destiny, which was to end, sooner or later, in their incorporation with the United States. To judge, on the contrary, from the Canadian press, it would appear that annexation, present or prospective, was the last thing in the Canadian mind, and that all men's thoughts were engrossed with the idea of how best to unite the inland and maritime provinces of British America in one great nationality, strong enough, with slight British aid, to maintain them selves against the United States, or any other Power in the world, and only needing a little fostering care and encouragement to be able in a few years hence to take their place among the great Powers of the earth, and separate from the mother country by mutual consent for mutual interest, and with the best wishes of the British Government and people for their happiness and prosperity. But all this is on the surface of politics, and affords themes of discussion to newspapers and official men, without entering very deeply into the public mind in Lower Canada. Perhaps the scheme of Confederation is as yet but too little understood in all its bearings to stir the public pulse. Perhaps, also, the small interest now felt in it may assume larger propor tions as time wears on, and as all the facts of the case shall be elicited by discussion in the Two Houses of Parliament. Certain it is that, for the present, the question is not ripe enough among the Lower Canadians to divert attention in any sensible degree from the more urgent affairs of private life, or to create more than a very slight ripple in the stream of politics. Even the opening of an extra Session of Parlia ment, especially convened to consider the subject, failed the day before yesterday to draw together a larger audience than usually attends the delivery of a speech by the Governor-General, and the formal commencement of legislative business. At about a quarter to 3 in the afternoon the little Chamber, temporarily but handsomely fitted up in the old. Post Office for the accommodation of the Legislative Council, was filled with an audience of about 300 people, at least two-thirds of whom were ladies, and precisely at 3 his Excellency Lord Monck, the Go vernor-General, entered in full official costume, and approach s e e d cre t t h a e ry dthraonne, aide-de-camp, aomr pand by h attended by his private Mace-bearer, the Usher of the Black Rod, and other officials. The whole assembly rose to receive him. Messrs. Mac Donald and Cartier, the two leading members of the Administration—one representing Upper and the other Lower Canadian politics—took their stand, one on each side of the vice-regal chair, and his lordship having raised his hat to the ladies and the Senators, put it on again and sat down, while the cannon on the esplanade announced to the outer world that the Session had commenced. The Usher of the Black Rod—one of the most perfect specimens of his class, a man whose suppleness of back, agility, and grace in walking backwards could not be exceeded—was directed, after the manner of St. Stephen's, to summon the members of the Lower House to hear the Speech from the Throne. The Legislative Councillors or Senators were all in full dress, as became their aristocratic character ; but the members of the Legislative Assembly manifested their democratic origin by appearing in the ordinary walking costume befitting a very hot day in the month of August. Silence having been proclaimed, Lord Monck, still sitting, and with his hat on [to the great displeasure of a demonstrative Yankee, who had been admitted as a distinguished stranger to witness the ceremony, and who proclaimed in a loud whisper that the " Governor" ought to have stood up in the presence of the ladies and taken his hat off], proceeded to read his speech. It was a short, concise document, the delivery of which occu pied just seven minutes. Having finished it in English, his Excellency, in pursuance of ancient custom, and in deference to the ignorance of the English language, real or presumable, of the French Canadian members of the two Houses, went over it again in French. At 20 minutes past 3 o'clock the ceremony had concluded. The guns announced the fact to heedless and quite uninterested Quebec ; and his Lordship, followed by his Staff, took his depar ture, and hastened to Spencer-wood, behind the Heights of Abraham, to exchange his heavy uniform for the loose private costume more suitable to the season. It was not expected that the speech would depart in tone or tenour from the ordinary formality of such documents when the Sovereign of Great Britain speaks either by herself or by deputy to the repre sentatives of the people. The one great object for which the extra Session was convened found, how ever, emphatic mention in the concluding paragraph, in which both Houses were informed of his Excel lency's trust that mature examination of the project would before long induce the Legislatures of the other provinces to concur with that of Canada in giving their sanction to a measure which had been adopted as a great feature of Imperial policy, and had been twice noticed with approbation in her Majesty's Speeches from the Throne. Whatever may be the real wishes and opinions of the Cana dian people, English and French, and, as far as known, they all point to Confederation, provided it is to cost nothing—it is certain that the present Administration is anxious to meet the wishes of the Imperial Government, and to do all in its power to carry the project to successful completion. There was no slight danger three days ago that the Go vernor-General might not be enabled to meet Par liament with any but a provisional Administration, in consequence of the unexpected death of the Prime Minister, Sir Etienne Tache, and the difficulty of finding a successor who would be equally accept able to Upper and Lower Canada, and under whom the three most prominent, but somewhat irre concilable and divergent members of the Adminis tration, Messrs. Brown, MacDonald, and Cartier, would consent to serve. By right of seniority and succession the Premiership devolved upon Mr. J. A. MacDonald, Attorney-General for Upper Canada. Mr. Brown, however, the leader of the Upper Canadian Liberals, though he would serve with would not serve under Mr. Macdonald. In these circumstances, Mr. Macdonald waived his claims in favour of Mr. Cartier, Attorney-General for Lower Canada, very popular among his French fellow-sub jects, both as a gentleman and a politician, but not at all popular as a politician among the English speaking Canadians. Towards Mr. Cartier Mr. Brown had the same objections as towards Mr. Mac donald ; and, as he neither desired the office for himself, nor had the slightest chance of obtaining it, if so inclined, it became necessary, unless the Ministry were to fall to pieces and be replaced by a new combination not perhaps so favourable to Con federation, that a successor of the stamp of Sir Etienne Tache should be found—a man of private and public character such as to command confidence, yet not so prominent and busy as a politician as at any time of his career to have given such unpar donable offence to his colleagues, especially the three first-named, as to render it inconsistent with their self-respect to acknowledge his leadership. Such a man was found in the person of Sir Narcisse Fortunat Belleau, late Speaker of the Upper House, a gentleman highly agreeable to the French, and not in any way distasteful to the English Canadians. The Coalition Ministry--composed of very betao- PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. geneous materials, and nothingacrreefivttle or , but the necessity of Confederation —will, therefore, hold together for some tune longer, and do its ut most to further that great project which is its best, if not its only, excuse for retaining a power which under any other circumstances would be precarious and unpopular. The question of the proposed defences naturally , excites more interest in a fortified city like Quebec than many of the more important issues raised by the scheme of a Confederation. Were the whole , of the expenses to be paid, by the British Govern ment, and were the labouring classes of Quebec and the neighbourhood to be mainly, if not entirely, employed upon the works, the French Canadians would be delighted with the proposal. But as the Canadians are to bear some share of the expendi ture, and as, for reasons of economy, and probably of efficiency, it is proposed to employ the troops in garrison in the performance of most of the work, the shopkeeping and professional classess have begun to question, although faintly, the propriety of erecting any further fortifications of brick or stone, and to express a preference for earthworks, erected to serve the emergency. should it ever occur, such as those constructed at Sebastopol by Gen. Todle ben, or thrown up on a hundred different occasions both by the Confederates and the Federals during the late civil war in the United States. In this as in all other matters, it would appear, so fax as my means of observation enable me to judge, that the Canadians will seldom or never criticise unfavour ably any policy on the part of the Imperial Govern ment that leads to the expenditure of British gold in the provinces, and that they always will condemn the policy, however wise and necessary in itself, that is likely to have the effect, now or hereafter, of in creasing their own taxation. For the rest the Cana dians are loyal enough. They prize the British con nexion, because they have all the advantages of pro tection in the time of peace, and none of the disad vantages of paying a high price for their liberty like other and less favoured peoples ; because they do not believe in the danger of war with the United States, their only possible enemy ; and because, even if war were to break out, they would cheerfully fight for the British flag so long as the British Go vernment would find the arms and the officers, and pay the bill. " There are three parties to the ques tion of defence in Canada," said a gentleman who has been upwards of a quarter of a century in Lower Canada, and who has made its politics his especial study,— "And these three are the Europeans, the politicians, and the people. The first, when attached to England, as they are, for the most part, desire defence and Confederation, be cause England desires them, and because they not wish to see the country drift into a union with the Yankees. The second class favours defence and Confederation as a means of procuring loans from England, without being very par ticular, or even asking themselves the question, whether Canada or the Confederation will ever be able to pay the interest or repay the principal. The third class have no de sire except to avoid taxation. They neither love nor hate England, but are satisfied with its rule, because it is cheap and brings money into the country. The only question that can really arouse the Lower Canadians from this apathy and c onver t th em i nto keen, if not angry disputants, is that of representation by population which has been long agitated in Upper Canana. Many Lower Canadians fear that this question will again be introduced under the guise of Confederation, and that the Anglo-Saxons, having a majority in the united provtnces, will as surelo uproot and overpower the French nationality and language as if the provinces were annexed to the United States. You ask me why, entertaining such views, the Lower Canadians were so ready and so eager to unite with their Upper Canadian fellow-subjects to fight England's battles when when there was a danger, at the time of the seizure of Messrs. Mason and Sliddell from the Trent steamer, that war would be declared between Great Britain and the United States, and Canada overrun by the regular volun teer forces of the Washington Government ? I answer— because they expected England to pay them well for fight ing, and handsomely reimburse all their losses. They are essentially a military race, though the fact has been denied, anp, better than any people on this continent, know how to work by day and train themselves for soldiers by night. Every farmer in this country looked forward on that occa sion to sell his crops at war pricos. His house might be burnt by the enemy, but in such a case it would be sold at a war pr cc to the British Government. His sons, his only assistants in the farm, and who in winter time in peace betake themselves to lumbering on the Ottawa or the St. Maurice, because agricultural pursuits are impossible when the snow lies three or four feet thick upon the ground, would gladly serve in the army of defence in the winter months, the toil being legs, and the excitement as well as the recompense greater, to say nothing of pensions to the wounded and to the widows of the slain—always, be it remembered, at the expense of the British Government. So far as I could see, the whole population was eager for the fight, because, and only because, they thought the British Government would pay all charges and more than make good all losses. The devastations of armies are not so formidable and distressing in thinly-peopled America as in overcrowded Errope. The only real wealth of the people is the land, and the land, though damageable, is indestructible, and with a mnnficent mother like England to compensate all suffering by hard cash, the mere damage to their property would have no terror to a race like the Canadians," I quote this gentlemen's opinion at some length, because I found them by no means peculiar to one individual, but shared by many both in this city and Montreal, with whom I had occasion to discuss the whole subject of the popular sentiment with regard to Confederation.

DURHAM, Thursday. After the morning service yesterday, the Cathe dral, every part of which was thrown open by the Dean and Chapter, was explored under the guid ance of Mr. Gordon Hills, who said that though in general beauty and ornamental detail the structure might be surpassed at Lincoln and elsewhere, still there was about it an air of solemnity and of dig nity which could hardly be found in any other cathedral. The remains of St. Cuthbert, which for merly reposed at Chester-le-Street, were brought to Durham about the year 995, and a temporary church was built, replaced in four years by one of stone. The church as it now stood was begun about 1093—some ten years after the introduction of the Benedictine monks, who had an establish ment here. In the nave Hr. Hills called attention to the extraordinarily massive construction of the piers and arches, the circular piers being no less than 25ft. Gin. in circumference. The nave now was very bare of ornament compared with its state be fore the Reformation, when the magnificent rood screen—considered the ch oicest in the country, and the Jesus altar were removed. A great peculiarity was a line of blue marble in the pavement between the northern and southern doors, for to the east of that mark, down to the time of the Reformation, women were never permitted to go. The reason generally assigned was the alleged misconduct of certain monks in a monastery founded by St. Cuth bert to which a nunnery was attached. But the mark might have had another meaning, for Mr. Hills suspected that in early times it was intended to shut off the choir at that point. The beautiful Galilee Chapel, at the west end of the church, was then visited. It was erected by Bishop Pudsey to wards the close of his episcopate, which began in 1153 and lasted nearly 40 years. This chapel, which stopped up the western entrance, was said to have been dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and to be intended for the use of women, who were excluded from the rest of the church. It now forms a be coming shrine for the remains of " the Venerable Bede," whose plain table monument bears the well known inscription : "Mac sunt in fossil Beds) Venerabilis ossa." The monkish legend is that the " Veneralibis" was supplied by an angel to the author after he had vainly racked his brains for a word of the right quantity to fill up the hiatus in his line. The re mains of Bede are said to have been stolen from Jarrow in 1022 by a Sacrist of Durham, and after being long preserved in the coffin of St. Cuthbert, they were placed by Bishop Pudsey in a splendid shrine. The original tomb was destroyed at the Reformation. The Nine Altars Chapel was next visited, and the magnificent screen dividing the choir from the chapel was greatly admired. The chapel took its name from nine altars dedicated to as many saints, these altars being originally divided from each other by elaborate oak screens, and each be ing fitted up in the most costly manner. After the Cathedral had been explored the cloisters and the chapter library were inspected—the latter rich in missals and illuminations, two or three MSS. being described as De mann Bedle. To the dean and chapter just praise was given for the zeal and taste displayed in keeping up s the whole of the beautiful in thei r c h arge. On the beautifully -wooded bank of the Wear, about four miles from Durham, stand the picturesque ruins of Finchale Priory, which in archaeological in terest are hardly second to those of Fountains Abbey. At 3 o'clock a large party assembled here, and Mr. Edward Roberts gave a learned and elaborate de scription of the remains and the structural arrange ment of the old building, so far as can be judged from the parts left standing. Finchale seems to have been a place of some consequence even in 792, for a synod was held there to regulate discipline ; but it obtained its chief renown some 350 years afterwards from the renown of St. Godric. A pilgrimage to Rome and a contemplation of the austere life led by the monks of Lindisfarne induced him to become a hermit; and in his cell on the Wearside he practised unheard-of austerities. Thus it is recorded that he wore an iron shirt next his skin day and night, and that he wore three ; he mingled ashes with the flour from which he made his bread, which he kept three or four months lest it should be too good for eating ; and in winter as well as in summer he passed whole nights at his devotions, standing up to his chin in water. Like St. Anthony, he was tempted, but wrought a cure by rolling himself amid thorns and briars. In spite of this asceticism, St. Gothic lived here 63 years. The church a ft er hi s d ea th was soon enriched by pilgrimages to his tomb. Mr. Roberts described the church as consisting of a long narrow nave with aisles ; a long and narrow choir, also with aisles at the western portion ; and transepts without aisles. The conventional buildings were on the south side, that opposite to the river. The land fails rapidly towards the river, and advantage was taken of this to raise the refectory and other principal rooms to the upper story, an unusual ar rangement, and one which Mr. Roberts believed was unique in England, though not uncommon in Italy. The buildings appeared to be all coeval and to date about the reign of the third Henry—between 1194 and 1200. There was no great window, except at the east end. The conventual buildings are also all nearly of the same .tuon being age, the windo w i n th e Prior's at the latest a b The probable positio n was po i n t e d u l, 390. and hospt out of the refectory, with its outlets to th e orc h ar d on the higher level ; of the cloister, with it s s t e p s Chapel leading to the garden or the farm ; the treasury, the day-room, the dormitory, the library, and the Scriptorium, There was a tower called the Douglas tower, but no reason can be assigned for the name, except that the Douglas may once have been a guest within the Priory. In the Prior's Chamber is a fragment called by tradition " the wishing chair," said to have been much resorted to for the cure of barrenness ; but an old writer adds that after the removal of the monks the chair entirely lost its virtue. Mr. Roberts, however, treated the tradition with little respect. The ruins have suffered greatly through the practice of using them as a quarry for building or repairs in the neighbourhood. Some years ago this was put a stop to upon the remon-. strance of the archaeologists , but Mr. Roberts stated that the practice had lately been resumed, and expressed a natural hope that means would be found to prevent it and to preserve these beautiful remains as they now stand. In the evening there was a soiree at the Castle, and papers were read by Mr. Hodgson Hinde, vice president of the Newcastle Antiquarian Society, on the progress of the Roman arms in Britain, with especial reference to the position of the northern frontiers at different periods ; and by the Rev. Pre bendary Scarth on a Roman altar found in restoring Gainford Church in 1864, with an explanation of the inscription. This morning the archaeologists will be received at Raby Castle by the president, the Duke of Cleveland. The Cattle Plague. Mr. Ebsworth, the medical officer of health for the parish of St. Mary, Newington, attended before the sitting ma gistrate at Southwark, yesterday, to make a statement with regard to the condition of the parish from the influx of diseased cattle and the manner in which they were disposed of. The chief clerk (Mr. Edwin) communicated that the sub ject had been brought last week under the attention of Mr. Woolrych, who had stated that he had no power to orderthe destruction of diseased cattle, but if the parties were sum moned for a nuisance thereby occasioned, he should be enabled, on summons, to reach them with penalties. Mr. Ebsworth, addressing the magistrate (Mr. Burcham), said that on that morning he received an order to attend professionally a man who was seriously ill in Kent-street, within the parish. While paying the visit to the patient, his attention had been drawn to the condition of a slaughter house on the other side of the street, where, it was reported to him, there were 15 cows which had been ordered by the Government officer to be destroyed at the Bricklayers' Arms station, and then to have been buried. The animals were accordi ng ly destroyed by a man in the employ of Mr. Geo. Nicholls, the proprietor of the yard in question, and from Mr. Nicholls he had learned that i ns t ea d o f the carcasses gneg,sbtuiia back c d k t he y were carted thr oug h th e Mitcham, throughw where e r the hthey parishw er e boiledf St. down poaf rithesh and ta: broughtGs ebri Mary, Newington, in the shape of cats' meat. He could not but regard this as a most iniquitous proceeding, and he at tended with a view to prevent a repetition of the practice. Mr. Frederick T. Stanley presented himself, and said he accidentally had heard of the present application, and that in consequence he had felt it his duty to attend, with a view to explain that he was a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, practising within the precincts of the court. He had been appointed an inspector of cattle under the orders issued by the Privy Council. The order in Council, which he produced, ran in the following terms : "Every person within any district for which an inspector shall be appointed on whose premises there shall be any animal labouring under any such disease, shall as far as practicable keep such animal separate and apart from all the other animals, and any person who shall, without the licence of such inspector, send to market, or remove from his premises, any such animal which has been kept in any shed or stable, or hoarded, or come in contact with others labouring under the same disease, shall incur penalties un less they were conveyed to the horse slaughterer, there to be disposed of." After this a fresh order was issued under the authority of the Privy Council, that the animals thus slaughtered should be sent to the manure works at Plum stead ; but his duty was to see that the carcasses, after the animals had been slaughtered at Bricklayers' Arms station, should be sent to the knacker's yard belonging to Mr. Nicholls,whose name hasbeen mentioned by the applicant, Mr. Ebsworth. In point of fact, he must mention that, within the district, there were no means of burying the carcasses of diseased and condemned animals, and in the instance referred to they could not have been buried in the cow-shed. Mr. Burcham inquired where he could find the order in Council to which reference had been made. Mr. Stanley at once produced and handed in the printed document issued under the authority of the Lorda of Privy Council, which Mr. Burch= read as follows:—" That every animal NEWSPAPER (..-.1=.; f...,. g.' , :-- • ' 7: ' Al 4 r:', - , • - Trithin Ruch district being in such di .i.

Mr. Stanley remarked that it was impossible to bury the carcasses in the London districts, and now they were sent to the knacker's yard, where it was supposed they would be disposed of. Mr. Ebsworth—And that, your worship, is what I com plain of. Mr. Burcham—You think the practice to which you hate called my attention is calculated to propagate the extension of the disease ? In answer to the magistrate Mr. Stanley declared that all skins were disinfected under his special orders. Mr. Burcham remarked that the animals had been taken to the slaughter-house not for the purpose of being killed and buried, but that their skins should be taken off and disinfected. Why should they have been taken toMitchant? Mr. Stanley stated that the disease could not be commu nicated from a dead animal, and it was conveyed only by inoculation, or through the breath of a living animal upon the dead body of a diseased ox. Mr. Burcham—l do not agree with you in that opinion. I believe that infection may be conveyed by a dead animal. Mr. Ebsworth said that such was his opinion. He thought such things ought not to occur. Mr. Burcham was of the same opinion, and that such a commodity ought not to be allowed to be conveyed through the public streets in open carts. Mr. Stanley said that he was acting under the authority of the Government. Mr. Ebsworth—Where is you r au th or it y ? Mr. Stanley--Do you doubt my word, or do you suppose that I would be guilty of a falsehood or a lie ? Here is my authority Pro to act, and that has b een i ssued with the cogni sance of fessor Simonds, the he a d o f the inspection ap pointed by the Government. Mr. Burcham read the appointment which ran as follows: _ct p r ivy Council Office. In pursuance of the provisions of the Order in Council, dated the 24th July last, Mr. Fre-. derick T. Stanle7, M.R.C.V.S., of Stone's-end, Borough, hereby aorised to inspect ~ n d ex.:lnaine cows, heifers, bulls, bullocks, and oxen labouring under infection or dis order within the limits prescribed by the above-mentioned Order in Council." Signed, Arthur Helps, and dated 28th July, 1865. Mr. Stanley added that if time were allowed he would pro. duce an authority from the Privy Council-office to show that his appointment was correct. He felt that almost a public accusation had been made against him, and he was of course desirous to maintain his character. He reasserted that be acted entirely on the Order in Council. With the permis sion of the Court he would procure the attendance of one of the highest functionaries of the department. Just as the magistrate was about to rise Mr. Stanley in troduced to his worship Professor Simmonds, and a long colloquy, in private, ensued between them. At the close Professor Simonds retired. Mr. Burcham said--I am glad the reporter is present, as I wish to state that I wanted to be satisfied that everything was done by Mr. Stanley that could be done under the cir cumstances by which he was surrounded in midst of a great difficulty. I have had an interview with Professor Simonds, and he informs me that there is the greatest difficulties, if not impossibilities, in finding places near London in which to deposit the dead carcases of dead animals. In the case now before me, these animals were slaughtered at the Brick layers' Arms station, and were then sent to the slaughter house in Kent-street, under the notionthat the owner of the I slaughter-house had the means of boiling them down. It appears that he has no such apparatus, and hence he found it necessary to send the carcasses to Mitcham, the nearest place at which he believed the carcasses could be buried and disposed of, and the neighbourhood thereby disinfected. Professor Simonds is perfectly sure that this meat when boiled down cannot by any probability cause the infection to spread. It was possible, but not probable, that infec tion might be introduced by the carcases of diseased ani mals on their way to the place where they had to b e b o il e d down, but it appears to me, from what I have just heard, that every precaution has been taken to prevent such an occurrence. It seems that the authorities cannot find a, place within a reasonable distance in which the carcases • can be buried, and, therefore, they are obliged to have re course to boiling them down as the only alternative. It is right that I should add that the conduct of Mr. Stanley, the inspector, has been quite in conformity with the direc tions he has received, not only under the orders in council, but also sanctioned in my presence to-day by Professor Simonds. I trust that this statement will remove from the mind of Mr. Stanley any unfavournble impression he may have entertained ; and I will only add my opinion that the deceased cattle ought to be removed through these populous districts in closed and not in (wen carts. The conversation then closed, and at an unusulaly late hour the Court adjourned. Mosby, the Guerilla. - The Richmond correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer writes John S. Mosby, the famous guerilla chief, was in Richmond yesterday. Some body has described Mosby as a handsome man in personal appearance, but he is nothing of the sort. Of ordinary height, his build is good enough, but his face is very commonplace, and his light brown hair, worn unkempt, adds nothing to its attractive ness. Mosby's features and expression would impress you as those of a man resolute and cunning, not captiously honest nor viciously cruel, and I suspect that in the stories of his cruelty he has been some what belied. When the life of John Singleton Mosby comes to be writt en it will show a succes sion of startling personal adventure unsurpassed by those of any partisan chief on record. That Mosby was always hanging on the outskirts of our armies, cutting of our trains, capturing our stragglers, and harassing us in every possible way, the people generally know ; but they do not know that he went in and out of our camps at his own pleasure, and was never once detected. It is said (and undoubtedly truly) that while Burnside lay opposite Fredericksburgh, in the winter of 1862, Mosby dined with him in the character of a Union farmer from across the river, and gathered with his shrewd cunning from the general table-talk much valuable information, with which he regained the rebel lines without molestation. Burnside that winter was literally badgered by Mosby, and de termined to capture the partisan, and to this end sent detachments of cavalry to scour the country thoroughly and bring him in dead or alive. One day one of these detachments, led by a lieutenant colonel, was going up the Dumfries-road, when from a house in sight of the Federal line a man emerged dressed in the uniform of a Federal captain, and attended by an orderly dressed in our cavalry blue. At the gate were two horses marked U.S., and furnished with our regulation saddle and bridle; and mounting, the captain rode up and accosted the colonel, who was still marching up the road. The colonel informed his new companion that he was in search of this Mosby, and asked if he had heard anything of him. The captain had heard and knew to a certainty that an hour before Mosby had been at Jones's, four miles up the road. Visions of promotion and newspaper paragraphs dancing before him, the colonel ordered Trot, march,' while the captain, with his orderly, dashed across a field to a farm-house to get some milk, he said, before re turning to camp. Arrived at Jones's, the colonel found that Mosby had been there, but also found that he had departed in the direction of Burnside's camps. Back the colonel beats in haste, making inquiries everywhere, but finding no trace. ArrivOil again at the house from which the communicative captain had appeared, the woman accosted him, and this colloquy ensued Woman.—Kurnel, who was that ere Yank capting met ye hear as ye was gwine t'other way ?' Colonel. —' I don't know* his name, but he belongs to a Massachusetts regiment.' Woman.—' Yeas ; well neovi, aint you sold ? That air was John Mosby.'

DEATH FROM A FIT IN BATHING.—On Tuesday afternoon a young man named Pearson, of Ashton-under- Lyne, whilst bathing in the sea at Southport, was sud denly seized with a fit, and before assistance could arrive he was suffocated. The water was only seven or eight inches deep where he was found. An inquest was held at the Royal Hotel, and a verdict of accidental death was returned.
