The Canadian government, it is assum-
cd, has refused to permit American vessels
to come from ports on the upper lakes d.
rect TO Quebec, there to reload with return
cargo. The request that they might do
SO was presented'by the Montreal Board
of Trade.
II is well known that an application is
before congress for reciprocity Of trade be-
tween Canada and the United States. Mr..
Clayton has applied to Mr.. Bulwer, at
the instance of the committee of Com
merce n,the House Of Representatives, to
know whether, in the event Of the passnge
OF such a bill, the free navigation of the
ST. Lawrence will be conceded. Mr.. Bull
wer replies. that in his judgement, the men,
sure seems to be the natural consequence
Of those measures by which the markets
ofGreat Britain have already been opened
to the agricultural products of this country,
and he adds the following:-

that the Instructions with which |. came to
the United States, warrant me, under such
circumstances, in assuring you that should

ted States Government may then address
to il, on the subject concerning which you
have now applied to me, by at cnce con-
senting to open the navigation of the river
St. Lawrence, and the canals thereto ad-
joining, (and which would be duly specif.

Witchoraft inoldan rimss

The ".knockings" in New York, Con-
necticut and New Jersey, have excited a
curiosity to know what was done by the
witches Of the olden time. The New York
Star furnishes the following from the re.
cords Of events in that city:
In 1865 man and his wife were ar
raigned and tried as witches in this city.
and special verdict ofguilty was rendered
ngainst one OF them. In 1872 the inlab.
itants Of West Chester complained to the
Governor and Council against witch who
come among them, she having been before
tried md condemned as witch at Hartford
but by some means escaped punishment =.
As these complaints were made to Gov.
Colve, who was sailor, he dismissed them
as absurd. The celebrated Negro Plot,
got up in l74l, was founded in apprehen.
sions of witchcraft and incendiarism on the
part Of the negroes, who were denounced
by depravcd prostitute by the name of
Peggy Carey, and number Of poor ig.
norant blacks were condemned to be burnt
ut the stake, and tomorrow will be 106
years since they were tied to stake, in
Chatham. near Pearl street, then called
Magazine street, and burnt to death, A.
mong the executed was John Ury, Cath
olic priest
This occurred at the time when DR..
Franklin was establishing the Phila. Lii
brary. Succeeding generations have felt
humiliated in reading the records of these
trials and executions.

Cuba---Its Dimensions Population ana

EkOQuCt1Oub.
This noble Island being the point to which
the public attention is now anxionsly direc-
ted, all information in regard to it will be
acceptable. lyf.
The Official statistics Of the Island, publish
ed in lS47, give the main island Of Pines
. l,077 square miles; other islets and keys
1890 square miles making the total of the
Island of Cuba and dependencies 1887
square English miles.
The length Of the Island, in the shortest
line from east TO west, is $50 miles. II
is 2G miles broad, in its narrowest part, and
l35 in its widest. From the southern
part OF Florida to the northern part of Cuba,
the distance is ll3 miles, and from; the ls-
land to the nearest point of Yucatan is l32
miles. Cuba andHayti are 49 miles apart,
and Cuba and Jamaica Sc miles.
AS regards population, the returns of the
white class are said to be reliable, but not so
as regards slaves as the planters seek to con.
ceal their number to avoid taxation. The
last census or authentic estimate was made
in l846, when there were 425, ,767 white pop
ulation, 1925 free colored, and 343,752
slaves--to 9lS,752.
The white population Of Havana, with
in and without the walls, excluding the gar
rlson, inmates Of prisons, hospitals, and tram
sient persons, was 53,044-the colored pop
u.ation-slave and hee--at the same period
was 52,77-total lC5,75l.

LEARN TO Cook WELL.-The health of
the family depends upon it. We know that
there are those who associate luxury
cffemiuancy, an oil dependent ills, with
every attempt Of the kind recommended
But we do not believe that heath is pro-
NOTED by eating raw carrots or doughty
bread--or that to secure long life it is nec-
essary to turn cnnnibal. Nor were men
made to Craze like cattle, or eat food like
dogs.
Nor is il necessary, in order 10 shun the
errors Of which we speak, to rush into the
opposite extreme. Good cookery does not
consist in producing the highest seasoned
dishes, nor such as to foster morbid ap.
petite; but in preparing every dish well,
however simple or common it may be-
There are, for instance, families who never
eat any good bread from one century to
another, and have no idea of what it con-
sists. Nor nre meets cooked any better
within their precincts. These little, simple
and healthy delicacies, which the good
houskeeper knows intuitively how to pro-
duce, are never seen here. Even dish of
potatoes cannot get themselves we'll boiled.
A member ofthe family might rs well fall
among Hottentots,as any proper nursing is
concerned. These things ought not 10 be,
nor is there any need Of their oxiste nee, if
the wife has any just notions of her OBJ
legations to herself and those about her.
