in any emergency than could be aiiofoeu
by any o,hor scheme yet devised.
An Indispensable feature in the scheme
would bs the collection of the public dues
exclusively in specie and the certificates
an,| notes of ofGuvernment issued in ex'
change therefor. And connexion with To-
caLbaaks or the banking system is totally
excluded from the scheme. NO o'ner
banking operation wpull be necessary tor
the transfer from point to point, for Gov.
ernnenr purposes, Of The certificates or
ntes.of Government received in payment
far ,ubic dues. Or if Government paper
should he more valuable and Individuals
should prefer to pay their dues to Govern
msnt in specie no transfer OF such i"nus
wou be necessary, inasmuch as cheeks
drawn bv Government upon specific de-
posi,s at the commercial points OF the
country would generally be more valuable
than the specie itself, and consequently
readily received in payment OF Govern
ment debts by Government creditors. In
this scheme all constitutional objections
are ayoidpd-no Fiscal Corporation nor
Bank of Discount is established.

be seen by the lantern they carried, July
armed. Mr.. Brown sprang from the oea
upon perceiving the intruders' and was
met at the door of his sleeping room by
British rufIian. who presented his gun
and baYonet, and ordered him to remain
quiet. Mr.. Brown called aloud to his two
sons who we're sleeping above, and was
threatened by the soldier that he would

speaking. The remainder Of this gang
rushed into the adjoining room, where
Col Grogan was sleeping. crying out MS

seized him and dragged him from his bed,

house, and conveyed him to the road,
where were vehicles inreadiness to take
him across the line. Mr.. Brown testi-
fes that he was apparently strangled SO
that he could neither speak or make even
show ofresistance.
Itappears from another affidavit thai
the son of Mr.. VIM. Brown came down
at his fathers call, whenhe was met by
soldier, he thought-who cooked his
gun and ordered him to return, or he
would shoot him. Soon after they had
gone off with Grogan, young Mr. Brown
| discovered drab:colored hat, British
bayonet, and a cotton handkerchief which
they dropped in the hurry oftheir proceed

Upon their arriyalat the Bay, Grogan re-
NAMED in the wagon surrounded by a
strong guard in from. of the guard house
for about quarter of an hour; after which
he was ordered into the guard house, and
from thence was taken 10 Montreal
Grogan appeared badly wounded and
bruised--his face was very much disfsur-
ed, aud il was with great difficulty he could
walk or step. The party that brought him
to the guard house from Alburgh, was for
mally dismissed ip true military style, by
Sergeant Geed, who belongs to Capt
Jones, Company Of light Dragons in her
Majesly's service. 1t was reported al
Missisquoi Bay, that on the evening pre-
vious to the transaction above detailed,
Capt. Jones had been heard TO say, that
he had despatched squad of men after
Col. Gragaa and that Grogan would, with.
out fail, be taken that night.
The substance Of the above affidavit
(save one) was read aloud at the meeting
held at ST. Adams on the evening of the

no doubt need be entertained.

The last arrivals from England give US ac-
counts of the trial before the House of Lords of
the Earl of Cardigan, peer and an officer in
the Army, for duelling. which had excited a
great deal Of public interest and criticism among
the Journals. In our view, the only really inn
portant feature in this case is the striking fact
that in the middle of the 10th century, Eng
land, enlightened England, should still have two
systems of judicature for violations Of the
criminal law Here we have case where a
Peer, because he is Peer, is brought before the
House of Lords to be tried for an attempt to kill
a man in duel-that is to say, the panoply Of
the law itself, by the mode Of trial, is made to
protect man who, if he were a commoner,
would be liable to trial by jury, end to be hanged
if found guilty. As might be expected, the no
BILE Peer was acquitted.
We wonder if our neighbors Of the British
Provinces expect to see this system Of fayort-
ism in the application Of the criminal law intro
duced into Canada for the benefit Of their aristo-
crazy.

GENTLEMEN II is the desire of the President to be
fully acquainted with the state Of progress in which
the public works in this city now are and with the
degree ofskill, fidelity, and economy with which those
works carried on.
for lils purpose he has appointed you Commits
sion Of Examination and Inquiry, and he wishes
you 10 direct your attention to the following points
!. What Is the number Of persons employed on the
Public Buildings, now in progress in The city, excu-
sve OF laborers. This is the more necessary as many
OF these persons hold offices not created by specia
provisions Of law.
2 What is the respective duty of each Of these
persons.
3. What prices paid to them for their services
and whether, in any case the compensation is ,lnrea
sonably large.
4. Whether there has been, or is, any just ground
of complaint against those persons, any of them,
either in regard TO their diligence and skill or in
regard to their treatment of aborers employed by them
II you have any reason TO suppose that any has
been guilty of misconduct you will state the charge
to him, and give him opportunity to answer ii;
and will report no evidence of which the party shall
not have had notice.
You will inquire into mans political opinions or
preferences but if il be alleged that any person. hav-
ing the power Of employing and dismssing laborers
has used that power either in employing or dismis-
sing, with any reference to the political opinions Of
those who may have been employed or dismissed, or
for any political or party object whatever in any
other WY violated his duty for party election pur-
poses, you will inquire into the truth of such sugges
ton and if you find reason TO think well founded,
in any case you will state tie particular facts and cir
cumstances on which your pinion is formed.
II is not intended thattl is commission shall be Of
long continuance, nor be- TENDED with any considera-
BILE expense. You will c as much despatch, there
fore, as the nature of the may allow, and make
report to this Department. A reasonable sum will be
allowed to you, for your time and SERVICE out of the

FROM THE WESTERN FRONTIER

A letter to the ST. Louis Republican, from Fort
Leayenworh, gives account Of most cowardly
and bloody committed by some Kansas In
dams upon some Pawnces
The dastardly Kansas-65 in number-took ad-
vantage Of the absence Of the Pawnee warriors from
their cncampnent, and massacred all but III of the
women and children found in it.
One woman sold her life dearly. She sprang upon
one of the Kansas warriors, like tigress-cutchcd
his throat, and would have stranged him if her arms
had not been hewn from hei body.
The Pawnee prisoners were reached by detach-
ment of the American force, stationed at Fort Leaven-
worth, and had been brought into Bcllevieu.
This will be signal for fierce war be-
tween the Pawnces and Kansas.

THERE'S, for example, ut this moment $500, 900
IN the hands Of the receiverat St Louis collected
az an expense Of 2 l-2 per cent, and is wanted
in some remote part Of the country. Where is
the machinery 10 move il? Il cannot be moved
without the application Of special and expen-
slve agency, involving hazard as well as loss Of
time. This fact illustrates the whole concern,
and shows exactly what il is. II is in no sense
fiscal machinery, but lies scattered over the
country, fragment here, and fragment there,
each alike inert, having no vital, selfmoving
connexion with other parts, an expense and at
hazard while lying still, equally or more so while
IN motion, and every part embarrassing the ac-
ton Of all the rest Alas alas While de-
scribing it, knowing il is so-and every one
viii see tive pity the nation on which il has
been imposed, and scorn the agency by which
il was inflicted.
The true policy piH nop be seen.
Sad experience has been our schoolmaster,
and the nation is being whipped, scourged out Of
folly into wisdom II is sound drubbing we
got, long to be remembered We bear the
marks upon our backs, we feel the hunger in
our stomachs, we are ashamed of our rags, and
have escaped with just spirit and life enough to
resolve, we will yet live again, and be free.
May the love we bear to those who have admin
istered the chastisement do them much good,
now they are out Of employment! They have
put It on well, and we shall all be wiser
The indication of the times.
Wherever we look tits ruin stares us in the
face. Was there ever such sight as The cur
rency Of this country at this moment And
every simpleton can see how it comes. II is as
plain as the nose on a mans face. We exult
in the conviction that there will be equal una
nlmity in the application of the remedy, The
nation must have currency, and must have
fiscal agent.
