IHE DEVASTATION OF QUEBEC The two fires in
Quebec-one on the 18th Of May and the other on
the 2sth of June-have almost swept that cty from
the face OF the earth. In the two fires, a, the least
1900 houses were consumed, and 10000 persons
rendered houseless. In the last confagration 1902
houses weIe burnt and IL blown up.
1t not little singular, and saddening too, that
the portionof city burnt in the last terrible fire was
the asylum Of the unfortunate people who were made
houseless by the first great fire.

NEW YORK AND ERIE RAiLRoAD.-A correspon-
dent who signs himself Fulton" has written us a
letter on some matters relative to the above railroad
TO winch ne appears to attach Importance. After
speaking OF 1t as great public work. as one giving
the highest augures of ultimate success-as grand
conception, all OF which are excusable in an ardent
admlrer OF railroad enterprize, his next object
seems TO be to crimlnate certain parties whom he
styles designing men, in striving to impede and
check Its progress to completion. Fulton does not
state any specific facts, but very directly repeats
that since the commencement of the three million
subscription, those intriguing persons have made ef
forts to poison the public mind, and ruin confidence
In the work
In declining to insert this letter of Fulton il is not
because ne may not be right. and take proper views
of the project and the misconduct Of those connected
with II; but because it worse than useless TO
reason with, or advise them We have received
humoeress statements on both sides, and we are
tired oftheir alterations recrimlnatlon and souab
bling. Since the beginning of the New York and
Ere railroad, and the New York and Albany rail-
road, too, instead of unanimity, hberaity and ac-
non, we have seen selfshness intrigue and faction
prominent In the councils of the shareholders and
directors 1t Is disgrace to the capitalists of New
York that neither this nor anyother public enterprise
with which they are connected, can 60 on in man
ner becoming business men. Why do they not take
lesson from the Bostonians, with whom to re-
solve and perform one! What is there in the
projects OF New Workers necessarily to impose all
this unprolifc noise and difficulty, and make them
like the mountain in labor! We agree with SO Full
ton" that the public interest ought not 10 be para
lyzed by the ambition and se6shness of few, or of
many, nor delay be caused in the completion of this
railroad since ii has been begun; but we again say
that there is use in remonstrance or advice to
these parties who seem to be incapable of seeing
their proper course, and pursuing it.

VIII there be War with Mexico

On all hands, you now hear the question will Mex
leo make war against the United States The mer-
chant, the manufacturer, every man at all interested
IN the affairs OF the country asking what aspect
this question OF Texas annexation now about TO as
sumo? Will there be war? Will there be serious
difficulty in the final settlement of this question
In replying to this inquiry, it is necessary to look
the present position Of Mexico, and its connec-
ton with European countries If left to herself.
Mexico would not attempt enter into any with
this country. She is very well aware that 10 begin
war with the United States on her own unalded
resources, would be hopeless work The first blow
struck by Mexico against this country would be but
the signal for great popular movement that would
stop short Of nothing less than the complete subu-
cation of The whole of Mexico itself the sway Of
this republic. Still however the original question re
mains, will there be war with Mexico Will serious
difficulty grow out of annexation On this ques.
ton the dipomatists of the day are at variance
Even the merchants, politicians and spectators en-
tirely disagree, some thinking that from all appear
ances, and the present position of parties in Mexico,
and the internal conflict raging there that some hos
Tile movement wiIl be at once attempted by Mexico,
by the closure OF the ports, the issuing of letters
OF marque, and some other decided measures
what would be the consequence if Mexico pro-
ceed to actual hostility, and order all American ct
zens to leave her territory7 Direct and series col
hsion ohe two countries would be of course in tina,
case at once produced. 1t has been said that letters
OF marq1e and reprlsal have been already issued by
Mexico, and are in possession of certain parties a.
Havana, and ready for use in case of the consummu
hon OF the annexation resolutions. We do not know
how soon we may have practical proof of this fact
Ihe Gull OF Mexico may be crowded with priva-
feers before we imagine such a result Such an oc-
currence would be but the signal for the bursting
forth OF war feeling amongst the masses of this
country that would sweep every thing before It, In
every aspect of the case it is surrounded with |
threatening omens, and it is impossible to tell how
soon war may burst forth between the two coun- |
tres out of the present confused and tangled con-
dition Of affairs

When4h charge came to the ears'of'the
Judge, there was no middle position fol
| him, he had either to do one Thing or the
other. He determined to give the license
the Court were equally divided, conse-
luently the motion to license sailed.
But why the meeting should step aside
to denounce Judge Pearce, and not open
their mouths against Judge Clark, one oi
their own citizens, is to us nezplicable.
Have some OF the members of that meet
ing some secret grudge at Judge Pearce!
There is one thing certain. and that is, If
they wish to get Judge Pearce into their
particular measures, or make him willing
instrument to advance their private or
public views on any subject connected
with his official duty, they need not expect
to effect their purpose by getting up po-
pular ciamor against him. We have been
requested by coed temperance men who
are in no way identified with Judge Pearce,
IN politics or any thingelse, to give notice
for the call Of q meeting in this place to
hurl back on the New Lisbon meeting re-
solutions disabusing the Judge and setting
him right, but we refused. We deprecate
this business of trying Judges before town.
ship meetings, when there isanundue ex-
element pervading oil classes OF society,".
In conclusion, we would say to the
''n,eefag" and those composing it, 60 on
with your temperance reformation with
whatever zeal you may, but learn to be
less abusive Of those who have indepen-
dence enough to act according to their
own notiens of right. You will do no
good by trying 70 eoerce emeninto your mea-
sures. You must know that other men
think for themselves as well as You. And
why add insult to injury? First charge
the Judge with skulking the question and
then when he shews his hand abuse him
for it.
We have given more notice to the pro-
ceedings of the meeting than they deserv-
ed, and our only apology is that we hon
estly believe there is something aurks un-
der the whole that is not seen by Che an
initiated. Nous Verrow.

/ .Unaer the head ofacapitui employed IN
mercantile trade, the act makes important
alterations of the previous law. 1t classes
as SO employed. lst. All capital employed
in the purchase and sale OF personal prop
erty; ed. All capital employed in the par
chase of personal property for the purpose
Of manufacturing it; Sd. All capital vested
in furniture used for public boarding hous-
es, taverns and hotels, with however, the
following exceptions, viz; it exempts all
capital employed in the purchase of domes-
tic animals; all property listed for tarGtion
under anyother teeO Qfthis State, and all fur
niture reordinarily used by the family or the
owner or keeper of any boarding house,
tavern; or hotel. The raw material alone
Of the manufacturer is taxed. Notool, inn
plements, or machinery used formaniactu-
ring, are embraced within the law, nor is
the manufactured article in the possession
Of the maker, subject to It's provisions.
The act also pointsoHt the method Of as
certaining the ameuntof capital employed,
which it declares snail be done by taking
as the criterion the medium sum between
the greatest and smallest amount of goods
in possession during the year previous, and
that one-haIf of that amount shall be char
ged as the capitals soemployed, and Of course
embraces all his goods or poperty on hand,
accounts, notes and claims of every des-
criplion belonging toand grOtoing out offhdt
particular business Because the various
claims belonging to the lusinessareas much
a partof the capital employed as the goods
or property on hand, and it is the capital
employed which the law taxes, and, as al.
ready remarked, points out the method of
ascerlaning what the"amount Of that cap
ita is. The whole capital being taxed once
as capitalin trade, the law does not con-
template taxing portion Of it again under
the heado money at interest; if they were
unconnected with it, yet growing out Of
its transactions and forming apart Of tscap-
itaI, it is embraced in the general charge
for capital employed
Under the head of moneyat interest, the
law with the enumerated exceptions and
excepting the obligations arising out Of
mercantile business or trade, seems broad
enough to embrace every species Of claims
upon or from which interest has been or
will be derived. The remaining subjects
OF the act are sufficiently clear, without
any explanation.
In concluding, | cannot help remarking
upon the sigu'arity of the course pursued
in relation to this law. 1t is State law,
and levies seven mills on the dollar f State
and Canal purposes. Our city Cou ell un-
der their ordinances levy seUeairen mills on
the dollar, for the various city PURPOSES
But because the Legislature levied seven
mills on these matters, does it therefore fol-
low that our city Council must levy seven
teen? The city Council can give relief in
all or part of these cases. Whether they
will do 1t or not is another question; bat it
might be we'll for those interested to ascer-
