THE QUEEN. - The London Court
Journal makes the following suggestion
for visit of Queen Victoria to Canada.
We hope her majesty, if she gets this far
on her road to the United States, will not
turn up her Royal nose at us Simple r"pub-
Leans, but will deign once III her llle to
tread the soil Of republic, before return
ing for life into European J0nlShmem.-
" y. Com. Bulletin.
Might we not suggest that 40 BRUSH
Sovereign has vet visited the American
continent, and that none could possibly
visit it under auspices more favorable than
our gracious Queen! Upon the happy
results of the late royal visit to Ireland we
need not dwell. They are manifest to all
the world. And if the magic OF the royal
presence could so eAectually soothe the
bitterness of party strife and party hatred
among the impulsive people OF the sister
Island, could We expect results less sat
isractovy among the Anglo Saxon popnla-
ton Of the Canadas ! Nor Is the idea OF
such a visit by any means lmpracucabIc'
IT has been rumored that royal trip to the
Mediterranean, in the course Of next sum-
mer, is in contemplation, and the shores
of that classic sea are now scarcely more
accessible than the banks of the ST. Law
renee. Halifax may NOW be reached with
as little danger and usually in as short a
time as Malta; and, with swift sailing
steamer, Quebec is probably not more dis
tant than Egypt.

HoRkIBLE AccIDENr.-Mr. John Richards,

wheels and the abutmcnt supporting the shaft
The revolution of the wheel having been imped-

while standing with his back towards it, the skirt
OF his coat was caught in the machinery, and the
unfortunate man dragged in. His lower limbs
were awfully crushed, and but FIR the stopping
Of the wheel, he would have BEEN Instantly
killed We learn That it required about three
quarters of an hour to extrica;c him, during
which time he m ,intiined very great self pos
