last, as we learn from the Rochester pa
pers, a party Of citizens from that place,
paid visit 10 Canada, and about the
time the storm Of that evening was CON-
ing ea, started in a carriage TO
return bs ths American side. When
about midway oi'the suspension bridge
the storms struck them with appalling
fury. The wind blew perfect tornado,
while the AIR was densely filled with
driving hail and rain, and so potent Was
the wind that the bridge swayed later
ally to and fro, ten or dozen feet, max
ing one giddy with i,s vibrations. So
appalling was the commotion, that the
horses stopped and finally fell upon
their sides OIL the bridge, while the dri-
yer, in the extremity Of his terror seen--
ed incapable Of making the leas, effort
to move from, the perilous SPOT. The
inmates OF the carriage could with diff
Guilty keep their seats, and for short

TBg INDUSTRIAL ExHiB,TioN We
beg leave 10 call the attention Of our
readers once moro 10 the Exhi-
bition which 10 to take place in Prov
idcnce commencing on the 18th of
the present month. We feel an intere.t
in the exhibition-not merely as dis
play Of the useful and beautiful, but as
stimOinnt to our industry, and some
thing which shall honor the State. Past
exhibitions have done much Tor u.s.
They have demonstrated our ability to
complete, in many branches OF industry
and something which shall honor the
State. Past exhibitions have done
much for us. They have demonstrated
our ability TO compete, in many branch
es of industry, with the larger States.
They have demonstrated that our arti-
zans are skllul, our manufacturers en-
terprising, our artists we'll taught and
practised, and that our soil is produc-
tive when cultivated according to those
principles which pr. gress III the sciences
has opened to us. But this is not all
that is necessary. Excellence is not
every where, and industry still needs
it's slimulants, and skill needs its re-
wards. We have only shown our abil.
ity, we want now TO show progress.-
The approaching exhibition offers an
opportunity for this, and we most ear
nes,Iy desire thu, it may be improv-
cd.
Our town was we'll represented in
the exhibition last year, and our people
have reason to be proud of the general
commentator bestowed on the products
of their skill. But we can do much
better this year, if We but try. Our
manufacturers and mechanics, our
chemists and artists, have only 10 try,
and ,hs State and the country will ac-
knowledge that Newport is not merely
valuable as the resort Of the invalid
and the seeker Of rest, but thrice worthy
as the abode Of skll and industry. A
single class Of our mechanics the boat
builders might alone demonstrate this,
and at so small an outlay us to make the
enterprise one Of pecuniary profit to
themselves.
But few days remain for our people to
make the necessary arrangements ior
the approaching Exhibition. May wo
not hope that they will be so employed
as TO contribute literally TO the interest Of
the Fair, and 10 our own good name as
aspirants TO the honors which belong to
industry.

GoLD AND SILVER The Advices
from Australia continue rs surprising
rs ever. The receipts OF gold at Lon
don for the week before the Atlantic
sailed. were $4,000 ounces by ship from
Port Philip, and 1890 by ship from
Sydney, amounting to Sl,566,O00 -
The condition ofsociety in the Colony
is such as to excite the mos, lively con-
cern. One Of the letter-writer., in the
course Of his report, remarks that the
old maxim the greater the general
wealth, the less ireqnen, tho perpetra-
ton Of crime-is utterly over,hrown in
this case. The most daring robberies
are constantly noted - one that almost
surpnsses belief, from the magnitude of
the spois carried of, and The GOODNESS
with which the job was undertaken and
proceeded with. The ship Nelson,
moored in Port Philip, was taken pos
session of, the master nnd crew made
to show the strong box, containing about
$3.50, 900 in gold, and then pinloned
down until it was carried oil ty the bri-
gands. The latter, it is added, were
much chagrined, after all, as they had
mistaken the Nelson Tor another ship
they were in pursuit Of, with $50O,0Q
OH board, but which had cleared the
day before for London! The towns OF
Melbourne, Port Philip and Sydney
arc over run with vagabond and cs-
capped convicts from Van Dieman's
Land.
Tho Victoria mines have already
turned out 563,47l ounces, or $ll,270,-
900, say from September, 1851, when
first definitely worked, to March. 1852.
The Ballarat, Mount Alexander aud
Murray mines, yielded during The same
period, 29s, ,O93 ounces, or $5, 962, ,0O0.-
A London paper states that the late ac-
counts from Van ID eman's Land con-
firm the previously reported gold dis
covcrics in the settlement, and ,he
amount of gold obtained at Fingal was
increasing, and j, was expected would
be found in still greater ABUNDANCE
Further Developments had also been
made At Bathurst, in the Sydney mining
region. The New York Times re-
marks:
1t is not little singular that at a
time when California and New South
Wales are contributing from newly dis
covered and, Of course, unexpected pla-
Gers such vast contributions 10 the Gold

ROBERT SEATTLE,
Town Sergeant.
The Counsel for the defence stated
that they neither consented nor objected
to tho prop 'sed amendment.
The Court stated rs follows, through
Mr.. Justiee Gilpin:-
The Court are disposed to admit tho
amendment offered, particularly as the
. 10Th section OF the Statute allows such
amendments 10 be made; although we
consider il az bad precedent, under
any circumstances, for the State to
amend iss process after the trial has
been commenced and evidence intro
duced. The State ought always to be
correct in all proceedings, and the com
plants we'll conNdered before action 10

Gen. Carpenter suggested to the
Court the propriety Of taking the bal
ance Of the testimony to-day, and then
continuing the case for n fcw-days, on
account Of the sudden and unexpected
indisposition Of his associate, Mr.. Tur-
ncr. Gen. Carpenter stated that nj
though his own health was better, he
was still weak but he made this sug-
gestion now on account OF MIR. Turner's
sickness, who was utterly unable 10 10

Mr.. Sheffield, counsel for the Com

Wood, Rev X. J. Stewart, Col. W. u.
Swan and MIR. Hildrcth, who appear 10
be some OF the prime counsclora and
movers in this Son Of Temperance op-
eratioD, and then objected 10 any con-
tinuance.
The Court stated that under the cir
cumstances, owing to the Providen'lal
intcrposition in regard TO Counsel, they
felt il their duty to continue the causes /;
tho causes were, therefore, continued
until next Tuesday afternoon, at 2 o.
