Mr. S. HERBERT said, when Government first directed its attention to the defences of the country, public opinion was adverse to it, but now he was glad to see that a reaction had taken place. It was true that during a long peace the defences of the country had been neglected. Government was fully alive to its duty, and before the suggestion of Sir de Lacy Evans was made, had taken measures to have a plan drawn up to meet the case of an invasion. The army must necessarily be small, but it ought to be effi ciently organised as possible and pro'vided with the best means of defence. He agreed that the fortification of 'dock yards and arsenals ought to be completed more rapidly. The whole country was being surveyed and officers specially made acquainted with its capabilities of defences. [LEFT SirriNa.l f LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

I got upon the midship gun in the gangway, the first lieutenant did the same. The watch and idlers were then washing the decks. In about ten minutes or so the breeze began to freshen steadily, but quickly. As soon as it commenced, I piped 'Watch, shorten sail; ' gave the order, ' Man, clew gar nets,' and tried to take the mainsail Dff her ; the men were at their station waiting fo r the ropes.

Datinued : Miss Bentley has come to nd alone. She has not" come alone in reference to any of these matters (the bills in question.) Respecting these bills sh e h as always been with her father. She has never acted independently 'in these matters. I obtained the warrants in 1857, but did not hear that Miss Bentley had been residing in Warrington several times.

The season has been particularly favourable for sending the lumber to market, tle water havin g con ti nue d hi g h for an unusual length of time, and there are also dams constructed on some rivers by large lumber houses, from which a supply of water is obtained to send forward the Lumber when the natural stream runs too low. Mist 'et' the rafts are very early, and it is supposed that every stick that has been manufactured on the Ottawa and tributaries will reach Quebec this season.: This largesupply.will of course affect the market in the meantime, but every thing will be clear above for fresh operations. Some of the timber this year is very fine. A raft of red pine from Lake Tamiscaming, the farthest point from which timber has yetbeen brought to , Quebec, will average about sixty-four feet, a most unusual size for that kind of timber. This fine raft - was sent . down with uncommon despatch, b e i ng p ro b a bly no t more than two months from Tamiseamming to Quebec. There is also another raft of red pine, about equal in average to of the Mississippi,: expected to average 90 feet, has just passed behind the island. The quantity of timber which had passed the slides of Chaudiere to 30th June, was : White pine, 110,847 pieces ' • red, 18,431 ; oak, 636 ; clo y 472 ; ash, 483 ; and spars, 162. The prospects of the timber trade in Britain had what improved, owing to the low rate pf interest, and it is to be hoped that our hardy and enterprising lumbermen - woo , spend their winters beyond the bounds of settlement, will reap a due reWard. —Montreal Witness. A POLTCEitiN AND, HIS BULLDOG—A very curious case was tried at the Stafford assizes, on Wednesday: A young man, na.iied Frederick Fereday, was charged with attempt ing to murder a policeman, named Bullock, at Upper Pen. Late one evening, the prosecutor found the prisoner with : a. young woman, and ordered - both of them home, whereupon the prisoner stabbed him in the small of the back, nearthe spine, and inflicted a wound nearly three inches in depth, which penetrated the kidneys: The prisoner then r.ta oft, but the policeman had with him a powerful bull-mastiff dog, which he said was muzzled, and which had been - trainmi to catch thieves and others, - not by biting them, but by running between their legs and knoCking them•down, and so detain ing them till his master secured theni. The policeman set his dog upon the prisoner, and the animal, true to his instinct, got him on the ground, and Avorried The policeman , again went up to the prisoner, and a struggle ensued, in the course of which th e prisoner stabbed the policeman near the region - of the heart, but, fortunately, the knife struck the bone, and did fie injury. The prisoner was severely bitten on the leg by the dog ;. and the lear4cd - judge condemned, in the strongest terms, the use of a dog uuder such circumstances. The jury found a verdict of guiliy, and he was sentenced 'to six years' penal aervitude. BANNR PT S John Noon, the younger, Poplar, optician.
