diagonal action against an upright piston,
being forced Out of the pressure by diaco-

FROM THE UPPER CANADA BORDER.
From The Detroit Daily advertiser, June 2o.l

From The Detroit Daily advertiser, June 20.
THE BORDER DITFIcULTIEs.-H we are per
mitted to Judge from the late outrages that have
been committed on our Eastern frontier, and from
the hostile state Of feeling which is developing
itself among certain class of citizens OH our own
side Of the line, and which is quite apparent
among similar class of people in Canada, the
time is not far distant when the scenes of last
winter are again to be repeated, perhaps with con-
sequences ten-fold more serious. It seems to be
the determination of certain persons residing on
the frontier, to involve this country in war with
Great Britain, at all hazards, if they can do it.
Every art is practised, and thousands Of idle rn-
mors are set aAoat to exasperate the public mind,
and to excite those more Immediately interested to
acts Of violence and bloodshed. 1t cannot be dis
guised that at the present time there prepara-
tons making for another piratical expedition
against the Canadas, by persons now inhabtlng
the United States. These preparations, if all ac-
counts are true, quite extensive at points
on the Eastern frontier. We are not advised Of
any open acts which would lead us to believe that
any of our own citizens are contemplating CO.
operation with them, yet it is believed that the
Canadian refugees in this part of the country, and
others whom they may have enticed to join them,
are not wholly inactive.

CIRCUIT COURT OF WASHINGTON
COUNTY,
MONDAY, JUNE 25.


The Court Room was crowded to excess from
ten to half past five o'clock yesterday, during the
investigation Of charge affecting William L.
Brent, Esq. one Of the Counsellors of the Court,
who was accused by woman in prison for aid
ing John B. Henderson in making his escape
from the Jail Of Washington county, and with ad-
vising the same. The District Attorney con-
Quoted the prosecution. Messrs. Walter Jones
and R. S. Coke appeared as Counsel for w. L.
Brent. After hearing the evidence Of Mrs. Hen
derson, the woman, and marine named Arrance,
who were in custody, and number of other
witnesses on both sides,
Gen. Jones, in stating the case, denounced the
conduct of Mrs. Henderson as a base attempt, by
corrupt and glarng perjury, to injure and destroy
high-minded member of the bar, whose conduct,
in relation to his unfortunate client, had been in
all respects correct and honorable. The District
Attorney frankly stated that he should not ask a
verdict upon such testimony. Whereupon, Mr..
Brent was Immediately acquitted, and instantly
received the congratulations Of great number Of
gentlemen present, who eagerly pressed forward
to express their qualification at his honorable
quittal from a base and foul conspiracy upon his
professional character.-N. IotelIigencer.

CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES.

The proximity Of Canada and the British Provinces to
these United States creates unfortunate political po-
son to both nations, which is likely TO be aggravated
every year. In former times we used TO hear very little
Of the people Of those aces, and were in o"lse In
enced either as government neghtoring indivdu
ais by their domestic relations.
They were then looked upon settlers upon the out
skirts of the New World with motives bnt those Of
subjects seeking the tranquil enjoyment of their own in
dustry, and only nominay protected by their distant
sovereign Now however, the scene has changed, and
from being merely geographical and conented neigh
bors they have become angry ntruders upon terrific
ry spreading the infection of their discontents among
our people, and bringing the vindictve powers Of their
SO near to those of own that all the pru
ence Of the administration and the temperate tone Of our
citizens can scarcely prevent those actods subjects Of
royalty from visiting upon the horrors Of war. That

il clear from the means that have been taken during the
last twenty years by the British Government to augment
the population Of Canada and to increase the military
strength and Notifications in all the assalable points OF
her dependencies in that quarter.
The Consuls in the different cities years ago
commanded to encourage British subjects who were in

this was that the experience of those people who had
lived among us citizens, knew our means OF defence
and our weak points, might be transferred to the service
of their legitimate monarch, and thus constitute an In.

nossession of these United States, whenever the ume

The steamboat Monarch lately made trip from

the shortest trip ever made between these two
points.
There are but two principles on which the speed Of

one viz: The power Of the steam the structure Of the
boat The skill of builders is so nearly equal that but
little advantage is to be gained by boat over another,
point Of speed from that cause and therefore superior
speed must necessarily to great extent, if not entirely
depend on the force power Of the steam applied.
Hence the comparative safety must depend the rela
