Threatened Disturbances in Toronto-
Riot an BeHeriHe-7Ae Wires Of the
Canada Line Cut!
From the Rocester Advertiser ofMay 1st.
We are indebted to the Coburg Star for
IN Extra Of Saturday, containing details
of the riots in Montreal and Bellevil.e and
threatened disturbance in Toronto. The
Extra says:
SIN Toronto, we hear that the excite
ment is almost as great as in Montreal
the City Council being obliged to take
measures 10 prevent an outbreak of popu-
lar Indignation against those who favored
the Rebellion Bill.
Gas soon rs the news arrived in Belle
vile, there was riot, in which the houses of
the Hon. Mr.. Ross, and Mr.. B. Flint, mem.
bers of the Provincial Parliament, suffered
much damage" The excitement increas-
es in all parts Of the country. 1t is i'm
possible to predict the result.
At5P. NJ, Friday the wires on the
Canada line, towards Montreal, were cut,
bv whom of course remains mystery
The Government has made unsuccessful
attempts to obtain the control Of the 'tele-
graph, and it is not impossible that they
have some agency in the matter. The
end is not yet.
LATER FROM TORONTO are indebt.
to Capt. Wilder of the Toronto and Roch.
ester Express, for Toronto papers of Sat.
urday. We learn by the Globe that a
meeting of the citizens of Toronto had
been called by the Mayor on requisition
of several citizens to petition her Majesty
to take measures to allay the discomfort
and to dissolve the present House of Ass.
emily. The Globe says thot the requisi
ton is signed by 46 persons, and includes
almost every rabid tory of any standing in
Toronto.
We also learn that on Friday night the
military were called out to protect the
house of Mr.. Baldwin, Attorney General
which had been threatened with violence
A mob assembled bout the offices of tht
Globe and Examiner on Saturday night
but being importuned by the owner of the
buildings, who was Tory, they desiste.
from acts of violence. All is excitemen
in Toronto, and an outbreak is hourly ex
pected.
The party calling themselves Loyalist
have proposed to appoint commission t.
resist the action Of the present House O
Assembly, and to administer the govern
ment for the Upper Province.

MONTREAL, A pril %

All day yesterday a most fearful ex'
citement existed throughout the city.
The five gentlemen arrested have been
committed for rioting.
A man by the name of Perry, the greai
leader of the fremen of this city, has been
committed to Jail on charge OF arson.
Towards evening rumor rapidly spread
that the French party were being sworn in
rs special constables, and armed. 1t proved
correct.
The British portion were persuaded by
the leaders to wait till armed, and an en-
counter took place between about twenty
English gentlemen and these constables,
who most wantonly fired on them.
Only few of The small party had arms,
which they discharged upon the mass and
slowly retreated, bearing off one of the
party, wounded in the leg by pistol ball
From the cries uttered by some person in
the crowd, one of the gentlemen who fired
informs me that their discharge must have
taken effect.
During the whole night these were drilled,
armed with cutlasses and pistols, in the
Bonsecourt market.
The military were under arms all night
and the artillery drawn up in the square.
| have the best authority for stating that
Sir Benjamin D'Urban, commander of the
forces, at meeting ofthe Executive Coun-
Gil last night, made remarks the follow
ing purport to Col. Tache, one of the min
istry:
He demanded to know by whose author
ity these men had been armed. He said
he was there to protect her magesty's DO
minions, and BY the aid Of Heaven he
would do that thing. Ii was unconstitu-
tional to arm one part the people against
the other. Turning round to Gen. Gore,
he said, sGo TO the Governor General and
say send him body of British troops to
protect him, and that will not consent to
this clandestine arming of the French pop
ulation. Disarm these men, and find by
whose authority they were armed" 1t is
understood that Co.'s. Bruce and Tache do
it on an order from the Government.
The arms we're refused TO be given up.
The British are rapidly arming, and q
dreadful fight is expected.
The list Regiment arrived from st
Johns this morning, and the provincial
cavalry are momentarily expected.
Upper Canada is in fearful state OF ex'
element.
At Coburg. the Governor was burnt in
effigy. The light could be seen on the
lake, thirty miles off.
The whole upper provinces are arming'
In the eastern townships, immense guam
titles of land have been sold, ano large
bodies ofsturdy rifemen are expected to the
assistance of the British.
On the Ottawa, the lumbermen are also
preparing to assist Montreal.

THE LAST SCENES OF CONGRESS.

THE LAST SCENES OF CONGRESS.
Congress adjourned on Sunday morning
last at seven o'clock. Our readers will
find full account Of the proceedings in
another column. There was, as usual, a
great deal of excitement in the effort to
hurry through number Of bills that were
left to the last hour. A fracas took place
in the Senate between Mr.. Cameron and
Mr.. Foote of Mississippi. Mr.. Foote, is
exceedingly valiant and bombastic, and
likes to make himself heard. Gen. Cam.
eron stopped him on point Of order,
which excited the wrath of the Mississippi
Senator, who shook his fist under the Gen.
erals nose, for which compliment the Gen.
eral suddenly tapped Mr.. Foote in the face.
In the House there were several scenes
About midnight Mr.. Giddings Of Ohio, the
great abolition gun, went over to the demo-
cratic side of the House, where Mr.. Meade
jammed his fist in his face and collared
him. Some time after this, Mr.. johnson
Of Arkansas had fight with Mr.. Ficklin ol
Illinois. The member from suckerdom
bled profusely, and was led out. Such
scenes are disgraceful in the extreme, and
those who are the cause of them should be
punished. In Mr.. Camerons case, no one
can well blame him, and had he in addition
applied his foote to Foote, he would richly
have deserved il.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

We regret to learn that the dwelling
house and store of Emanuel Kaufman, in
Augusta township, was entirely consumed
by fire on Thursday night last. Mr.. Kauf-
man, we understand, had been out, and on
his return home, about ten O'Clock, passed
through the store when all was right
About midnight he was awakened by q
cracking and noise. On opening the
store door, he was repulsed by thick vol.
ume of fame, and had barely time to rush
back to his chamber, and escape with hi,
wife and children, from the devouring ele.
ment. Every thing was consumed, inclu.
ding his books, accounts, notes, and money
The entire loss we have heard estimated q,
$1,000 or elO,OO0. The stock Of good
we understand was insured for $4,000 il

THE MLToNIAN AND SHERIFF COVERT.

THE MILTONIAN AND SHERIFF COVERT.
The gross and unjusti6able personal
attack of the Miltonian on Sheriff Covert
has made even the editor OF that paper
ashamed of himself, and now like one who
knows that he has been guilty of mean
act, he tries to excuse his conduct towards
Mr.. Covert by saying, "we thought to
make il easy for him to collect the taxes"
The editor of the MiItonian must have a
poor opinion Of his readers, if he supposes
they can be deceived by such shallow ar
tifices. Not satisfied, however, with this,
be makes use of his columns to injure Mr..
Covert in the eyes of his old friends and
neighbors in Milton, by saying that he had
run to US with bis duplicate, to show "who
owed taxes and who did not" in Milton
It IL but matter of sheer justice to Mr..
Covert, to say that we never saw his dupli-
cate, nor did he ever say anything TO Us in
relation to the taxes Of any one, excepting
the person alluded 10 in our former article,
and which the Miltonian readily compre-
hended. An editor who will prosrate his
columns 10 crafty private revenge can have
but little self respect for himselfor his read.

Learning BY aady must be wua, |
Tvs ne'G ssaaiied from siss " son. |
A ~ GAY. |
The learned editor Of the Miltonian has, |
by some means, come in contact with .
stray copy Of Purdons Digest, and has inn
bibed therefrom, just enough of law to
make Ounce of himself and to verify the
truth Of Popes remark, that "a little learn
ing is dangerous thing" He says:
ttOf the Auditors Report we have said
nothing as yet We confined our remarks TO
the Commissio~ers Report, not being aware
that the law authorised the Auditors to pub
lish a report in the newspapers, at the ex-
pense Of the county"
Here is the wisdom of ages concentrated
in nut shell. Who can say that the man
tie of Solomon has not been dropped (acci-
dentally perhaps) in the Office Of the Mil
tonian.
The 9Th section of the act of 1884, rela-
ting to County Auditors, is as follows:
"The Auditors of each county, any two Of
whom when duly convened, shall be quo
accounts Of the Commissioners, Treasurer and
Sheriff, and coroner of the county, and make
report thereof to the court Of Common Pleas
Of said county"
The 9th section OF the act of 1884 in re-
lation to commissioners, requires the COM
missioners Of the county to "publish annu-
ally full and accurate statement of all re-
ceipts and expenditures of the preceding
year." This they have done by publishing
the Auditors Report entire, without any
abridgment or alteration whatever, inclu-
ding not only their own account, but that
of the Treasurer, Sheriff and Coroner, all
of which is certified to by the Auditors
under their signatures.
And yet it seems according to the Mil.
tonian, that this is the Commissioners Re
port, notwithstanding the Auditors certify
under their own hands that it is their re-
port. And why should not the Treasurer
Sheriff and Coroner also claim it as thei
report. Or have the commissioners dispensed
with the board of Auditors, and themselve
) undertaken to "audit, settle and adjus
these accounts as we'll as their own, ant
by some strange mistake suffered the Au
ditors to sign the Report instead of them
selves.
eff this is law, then truly we think it
> time to s'draw in our shingle," and ou

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

The Inaugural address of Gen. Taylor
will be found in another column. 1t is a
document characteristic of the man-brief,
frank, and unostentatious in its style. With
the exception of General Washington's ad-
dress, which is near about the same length,
it is shorter than any that has preceded it.
It does not vary, in substance, from the
opinions expressed in his Allison letter.
He says he will be guided by the Consti-
tuition as interpreted by the judicial tribu-
nails, and the earlier Presidents. In regard
to appointments, he says he shall make hon.
esty, capacity and fidelity, indispensable
prerequisites. He is in favor of the en-
couragement and protection of the great
interests Of Agriculture, Commerce and
Manufactures the improvement of our
harbors and the speedy extinguishment Of
the public debt. All this requires revenue,
and necessarily favors such modification
of the tariff, as will carry out these mea.
sures. But II is for the wisdom Of Con.
gress, he says, to regulate these matters, and
he will not readily, we presume, interpose
his authority to arrest their action. We
think that we can fairly infer, that Gen
Taylor is in favor Of moderate protection tc
our manufactures, with restoration Of the
principle Of specific duties, instead of the
ad ualoren system, which is the bane of the
tariff Of 1886. But If Congress should thinl
differently on the subject, he will acquiesct
in their decision.
