are artillery, and 1,615 are cavalry, with 202 engineers.
There are in addition other corps drilled and only waiting
the recognition of Government to be armed. These unre-
cognised companies would swell the aggregate volunteer

are added the 10,000 militia provided by the new act, we
have a gross total of 26,000 men.—Canadian .News, Sep-

sooner or later, some method of peaceful adjustment must
be adopted. There are only two alternative issues of war
—either the utter extermination of one party, or some form
of accommodation and compromise between the contending
sides. None of you can wish the former. And is it not
better at once to have recourse to the latter, before fur-
ther blood is shed, and the feelings on both sides shall be-
come hopelessy inflamed with animosity and vengeance?"
THE NORTHERN HERRING FISHERY.—This
week, the last but one of the regular fishing season, closes
very discouragingly, and leaves no ground to hope that an
average catch can now be vouchsafed. Contrary to expecta•
t ions and indications, the daily return has been exceedingly
poor, so much so that hundreds of crews have morning after
morning returned without the slightest success. The wea-
ther has been exceedingly mild and the tides very strong,
and now the indications which were presented off our shores
in the early part of the week have is a great measure dis-
appeared.
