The Canadian Oil Wells•

(From the Jackson, Mich., Citizen.)

A day or two since we took a trip to Bothwell,
now the great centre of the petroleum excitement in
Canada. At Enniskillen there are several oil wells in
operation, paying fair dividends, but the petroleum excite-
ment seems to have bees drawn to Bothwell, a village of
800 or 1,000 inhabitants on the Great Western Railway,
situated about 30 miles west of Chatham. On every hand
new buildings are going up, and the town is crowded to
excess with eager operators looking after oil lands and sites
to "bore." All who have come in for this purpose are
Yankoes.
At the depot engines for drilling pipes for tubing, and
the various instruments used for exploring the bowels of
the earth, are constantly arriving. Land is held at fabu-
lous prices—some of it which a year since sold for $l5 to
$25 per acre, now readily brings $l,OOO and $1,500 per
acre. The Canadians are reaping a rich harvest from the
sale of their lands. A Chicago company, with a capital of
$200,000, has invested largely in oil territory, and is sink-
ing several wells. Two companies have leased oil terri-
tory, and are soon to commence active operations. There
are now 50 wells sunk and 100 more going down. A De-
troit company struck oil at a depth of about 100 feet, and
the well is flowing at the rate of 40 barrels per day. The
present indications are that large quantities of oil will yet
be obtained at Bothwell. Two small refineries are already
erected, and the oil sells rapidly at $7.00 per barrel in gold.
The State Geologist of Illinois is there, and has invested
liberally in oil lands. Late developments have intensified
the excitement at Bothwell, and it promises to increase for
some time to come.

PETROLEII3I.—The prospectus of the Pennsyl-
vanian Oil Company has been issued. The directors pro-
pose to purchase certain plots of land together, about 700
acres inVenango county, Pennsylvania. It is contemplated
in the first instance to dovelope and work ono plot only,
comprising about 72 acres. Should the results then be satis-
factory, the Company can, by the option already secured to
it, claim at any time within seven months the transfer of
the entire 700 acres is foo simple, but if not satisfied the
company will not be bound to take them. The capital is
£300,000.
The Missouri Democrat says that Sir Morton Peto
some time ago paid £30,000 for some petroleum wells in
America. It is said he would not now take £500,000 for
them. .

The Missouri Tribune learns that an oil well has
been bored in Lafayette county, atd is now yielding five
barrels of oil per day, with a prospect of a much better
flow.

THE BRITISH COLONIES AND THE RECIPROCITY
TREATY.—A very significant resolution has recently
been introduced into the Legislative Assembly of the British
colony of Bermuda, to the effect that the Governor be re-
quested to communicate to the home Government the
desire of the people that the colony should participate in
any treaty of reciprocity trade between the United States
and the British North American provinces that may be
entered into between the two Governments. Some time
ago the Canadians affected to regard the Reciprocity
Treaty as of little valve to Canada; in fact, they advanced
the idea that the United States reaped all the advantages,
and the British Provinces none. But no sooner was the
treaty abrogated, upon due notice being given, than they
discovered that Canada gained some very important ad-
vantages from reciprocity of trade, and they are now
most anxious to see the treaty remain in force. The action
of the Bermuda Legislature now shows how much the
British colonies lean upon the trade and commerce of this
country for their prosperity ; and their anxiety to enter
into advantageous commercial relations with us proves
how rapidly the colonies of Great Britain are being disin-
tegmted from the mother country, and being drawn by an
irresistible attraction to the United States.—Nero York

Naval and Military Intelligence.

In accordance with orders to that effect received
at Chatham garrison, Capt. M. S. Morgan, Ist
Battalion 14th Regiment, Capt. M. S. M. G. A.
Clarke, 50th Queen's Own Regiment, have
em-
barked on beard the Liverpool, at Gravesend, for
New Zealand, to join the service companies of their
respective regiments. Ensign W. W. R. Onslow, Ist
battalion 12th Regiment, at Chatham, has also been
placed under orders to embark for New Zealand, to
join the headquarters of his regiment.
Capt. F. J. Bolton, 12th Regiment, the inventor
of the new code of day and night signals, having
completed a lengthened series of experiments and
trials with the invention in various parts of England
and Ireland, extendingover a period of some months,
has rejoined the depot of the 2d battalion of the
12th Regiment at Chatham garrison.
A detachment of the H battery Field Artillery,
stationed at Chatham, has proceeded from that gar-
rison to Aldershot, for service at that station. Capt.te
Coachman has joined the headquarters of the first
division of the depot brigade, by order of the Duke
of Cambridge.
By direction of the Secretary of State for War,
the necessary drawings and plans are to be prepared
for the erection of a commodious block of buildings
in the vicinity of St. Mary's casemated barracks,
Chatham, now occupied by the troops belonging to
the 3d battalion of Infantry of the Line, for the se-
parate accommodation of the married non-commis-
sioned officers and men- of the battalion. Since h

removals of the depots of infantry from the hut-
barrack to St. Mary's the former have been set apart
for occupation by the married men and their fami-
lies. As the huts are not adapted for married quar-
ters, and are expected to be shortly required for the
additional troops intended to be quartered at Chat-
ham, it became necessary to provide a separate
building for the "marriedmen, similar to that already
constructed for the wives and families of the troops
belonging to the Ist and 2d depot battalions. The
drawings and plans of the proposed new married
quarters are now in course of preparation at the
Royal Engineer Department, Chatham, and the
necessary surveys of the various eligible sites within
the fortifications already made,
The French Government steam transport vessel
Dix Decembre, M.Cavalier, lieut. de vaisseau, now
alongside the pier at Charlton, adjoining the dock-
yard at Woolwich, is receiving a cargo of telegraph
cable from the newly-erected factory of Messrs.
Siemans Brothers. The cable, the whole of which
is completed, is 60 miles in length, and is intended
to form the line of communication between Leghorn
and Corsica. The Dix Decembre is the vessel which,
as reported in The Sun, came into collision with the
Spanish vessel the 3ilurilla off the North Foreland,
when the latter was sunk and some of the crew
were drowned. The French vessel has suffered some

injuries, which are being made good at Woolwich.
She will be ready for sea in about 10 days hence.
Her Majesty's steam store ship Fox, Commander
Moriarty, yesterday commenced shipping at Wool-
wich four boilers, the condensers, cylinders, and
other portions of the machinery supplied by Messrs.
Maudslay for the Vestal, building at Pembroke
dockyard.
Theiron paddle-wheelvessel Bloodhound, in basin
in Woolwich, has cleared out the whole of her en-
gines, boilers, &c., in preparation to be broken up,
having been pronounced unfit for further service,
and the iron paddle sloop Trident, also at Wool-
wich, has been docked to fitted as a " hopper" ves-
sel, for clearing the harbours and creeks at Malta.
The iron store ship Supply, Commander Bawden,
was yesterday removed from the Royal Arsenal pier
at Woolwich to the upper part of the harbour, off
the dockyard, and commenced discharging stores,
preparatory to her being paid out of commission,
which is ordered to take place on the 17th inst. She
will be recommissioned, according to present ar-
rangements, on the same day. The iron paddle-
wheel vessel Antelope, in the dock at Woolwich,
has undergone a thorough survey. Her engines and
boilers have been hoisted out and removed to the
factory. The boilers will be removed, the engines
repaired, and many of the iron plates on her sides
will be replaced with new ones, after which she will
resume her duties as a preventive service vessel on
the West Coast of Africa.

Mr. Jones, foreman rigger during the past 13
years in Woolwich dockyard, and who has invari-
ably maintained the character of a most zealous
and efficient man, yesterday retired on a superan-
nuation allowance of £lO6 per annum. He was suc-
ceeded in Woolwich dockyard by Mr. Bolt, chief
boatswain of her Majesty's Royal yacht the Victoria
and Albert.

The Gladiator, 6, paddle sloop, Capt. Elphinstone
D'O. D'A. Aplin, sailed from Portsmouth yesterday
afternoon for Plymouth Sound and the coast of Ire-
land, with supernumerary officers and men, stores
and provisions for the ships of the Channel Fleet.
The Tamar, screw troopship, Capt. F. 11. Stirling,
recently returned to Portsmouth with naval and
military invalids on board from China, is ordered to
undergo repairs at that port and be for the ship's
further service as rapidly as possible. The more im-
portant portion of the defects exist in the boilers,
which require new tubes.

The Royal Sovereign, 5, turret ship, Capt. Her-
berc, went out of Portsmouth harbour to Spithead on
Thursday, and to-day will steam out east of the
anchorage and test under fire the working of the
new winch purchases fitted to the guns in her fore-
most turret.

The Bristol, screw frigate, 39, 3,027 tons, 600-
horse power, Captain Leveson E. H. Somerset, flag-
ship of Geoffrey T. P. Hornby, the successor to the
present officer in command of her Majesty's ships on
the West Coast of Africa station, Commodore A.
P. E. Wilmot, C. 8., arrived and anchored at Spit-
head yesterday morning from the eastward. She is
ordered to make a trial of her speed at the measured
mile in Stokes-bay, under the usual conditions, and
will therefore most probably not sail from Spithead
for her station for some three or four days.
Her Majesty's paddle yacht Elfin, Staff-Com-
mander Balliston, was undocked yesterday at Ports-
mouth, on the completion of repairs to her hull and
machinery, and was taken afterwards out to Spit-
head to give her engines a couple of hours' work
under steam.

The Florence Nightingale, a small iron vessel,
built for the transport of troops' invalids between
transports arriving at Spithead from India and other
foreign stations and the Royal Military Hospital at
Netley, was yesterday undocked at Portsmouth,
after coaling, &c., and will now very shortly
be completed in all the details of her outfit and
made ready to enter upon her duties. The Florence
Nightingale is a small flat-bottomed vessel, built of
iron, having one large cabin below for the use of
the invalids, sheltered from the weather, and with
no attempt therefore at dock accommodation. She
has no engines or sail power, except two light spars
to carry each, a fore and aft sail to steady her when
required, and will be towed by a Government
steamer between Netley Hospital and Portsmouth.
Her draught of water is very light, and this will
enable her to float over the greater portion of the
mud shoals intervening between high-water mark
at Netley and the deep channel at Southampton
Water: This will be a great boon to invalids, who
under previous regulations had very often in rough
weather to land at the end of the long pier at Net-
ley and walk the distance up to the hospital, with
the water breaking over the pier, and drenching
men, women, and children over their knees. The
Florence Nightingale appears to be well adapted
for the peculiar service for which she was designed.
She was built by the Millwall Shipbuilding and
En
Admiralty.

The Vesuvius, paddle steamer, having discharged
all her machinery, boilers, stores, &c., at Ports-
mouth dockyard, was yesterday towed down to the
