The Montreal Herald has The following
article upon the recent incoming and out

through Canada
A somewhat notorious gentleman left
Canada for England by the last Quebec
steamer. This was Mr.. George n. sAun-
ders, who, according to his own represen-

land Of o very favorable commercial
treaty with the Southern States II that

Saunders reported himself 40 having
travelled from Richmond through the
United States in the garb and character
Of a Cornish miner, seeking work in Can

from having been good deal mixed up
with the Canadian mining movements on
Lakes Huron and Superior, when those
enterprises first began 10 attract atten-

the commercial treaty, as il is certain

prevented his intended voyage. After
Mr.. Saunders had completed his mining

Mr.. Saunders, bursting with indignation
got up and left the table. OF course, 3,
