1t does out •ppesr, however, that the milt
tory fired a shot. Ti. .Ymos centimes the
account as follows :

from whence case the first .hot ws could
sot learn. A scene of death earned, too
horrible to seem like • reality for • civili-
zed city like St. Johns.
1t is impossible now to get a correct
statement of the number of deaths. A per-
m* of veracity, however, informs us that
he saw ten corpse him -elf Some say
there were at least twelve killed—but wa
put the number down at tee. The proces-
sion passed on into the Market Square.
The military were still on the platform,
directly opposite. Another awful shout
was hero raised by the crowd. After
some little time the procession passed up
King street, every sixth man carrying a
gun.
The city cootioued in a disturbed state
throughout the remainder of the day. A
number of arrests were made in the course
of the afternoon.
No list of the killed and wounded 1. given.
use demand for annexation will be made,
and, if it were, it would be dieeouotenalue4
by the great mass of the people. Tho ob-
ject of this peblicatioo being solely to place
the financial affairs of the Province in • pro
per light, and to correct, if possible, preva-
lent errure which have affected the public
credit, l shall abstain from all political dis-
cussion. I believe that, in the greater por-
tios of the forgoing remarks, the majority of
those who oppose the Administration of
which 1 have the honor of being • member
wo Id concur."
Mr. Hindle then proceeds to 1•.p the
feaecial question of tate projected railroads
her Government to make -good all its en-
gagements. 1 can affirm with co lea.e
that the great masa of the Canadian people
are thoroughly loyal to their S.rveretge,
and deeply imbued with the feeling that at
all hazards faith must be kept with the
public creditor. It is much to be regretted
that an opinion prevails rather extensively
among certain classes of the people of
L'trgland, that separation between -the
colonies and the mother country is likely
to ensue at no distant period. and tbat the
coosection is not profitable to either.—
Such views aro, as I shall endeavour to
prove, veru erroneous; but I affirm that
am were a result, which I should_ much de.
precut', to ensue, the public creditor need
be under no apprehension. It cannot be
doubted that one oflhe eoaditione onsets*
to any ackonwledgement of independence
on the part of Greet Britain. would be the
recognition of the claims of the public credi-
tors. No apprehension, then, ought to
*list Wath regard to the effect of a revolu-
tion on the value of the securities. 1 mon•
rain, however, that such an event is as im-
prebates in Canada,* in any settled gov-
erment in the world. The sentiment
which animates the public mind in Canada
was well expressed in a late debate, by the
President of the Board of Trade, when the
Right Hon. Gentleman said, that " He
placed a high value on the connexion of in-
terest in the narrow *rose of the word, but
one of honor, duty and affection; a moose -
tion the( neither party had any right, on
light and iosefficient grounds, to dissolve."
But, setting aside all reountents of loyalty
to the Crows, attachment to the instiutioos
handed down to us by our semesters, pride
in forming a constetuent portion of the
greatest empire in the world, it seems to
rue clear that the coarse:too is mutually ad-

toning, I may hope that these remarks Witt
have a beneficial effect. 1 put e.tirely on
sae bade all the advantages to be derived
from protection. Without enteric` into
any discussion on the subject, I shall con•
tent myself with stating sy belief that the
connexion can only be maintained on the
principle of Free Trade. What then, are
the advanges which Canada w,11 derive
from the connexion ! i answer, the con-
trail of her own revenue. The consequence
of annexation to the United States would
be, that the entire customs and land reve-
nue would be placed at the disposal of the
Federal Government, and would be applied
to the maintenance of rias Army and Navy,
and the diplomatic relations of the United
States, while the Canadian people would be
taxed directly for all local purposes. As I
am treating the subject as matter of petu-
nisry interest, 1 shall not dwell on the
evils that would result from being collnect-
.d with a country where slavery exists in
all its h , and where it will in all pro-
bability continue to exist until the question
is settled by revolution. Many other argn-
meets might be adduced to prove that an-
nexation would be injurious to Canada, and
1 know of none in favour of such a measure.
Toe Canadians enjoy all the advantages of
self-government, with the additional one of
being protected free of cost by the greatest
natio* in the world. Under the enlighten-
ed administration of the Noble Earl at the
heed cf the Colonial -Department, which has
been in no way more clearly exhibited leh n
in a choice of Governors, the people
f
Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick,
have been loyal and contented. whiletlurnpe
has been convulsed with revolution*. The
advantages to the mnther country from the
connexion are equally obvious. It is an
undispotep fact,•th.1 the commercial policy
of the United -Slates is hostile to English
Interests. - Let ale North American Pro-
vinces be annexed, and all tearer* by the
St. Lawrence be prevented, and the Ameri-
can protectionist party be able to carry that
policy into practical operation, which they
nae do, so long as the Canadian
frontier is in the possession of a foreign
power. it is the fashion to despise the
Canadian trade because it is insignificant in
coqkparies with that of the United -States:

lence, .s is given io the following from the
Cincinnati Gazette, of the nth instant --
Bulletin.
The heathen maxim, " Whom the gods
doom to destruction, they first make mad,"
is forcibly brought to mind at this tine to
Cincinnati. With a daily mortality in the
midst of more than 150, caused chiefly by
the prevalence of • pestueoee, immunity
from whose deadly touch is distinctly and
loudly proclaimed, by its history sod char-
acter, to be in all person•I habits, and espe-
cially in eating and drinking, the ruses of
the people yet abandon themselves to in-
dulgences in food the most unwbolaome of
any they can eat, and to exposures the most
careless.
Market baskets are still crammed full of
green, indigestible, poisonous vegetables,
which are borne into miserable abodes one
morning, from. which, the next morning,
°ire borne out the dead bodies of those who
ate them. Funeral procession, pic-flies,
parades, are still kept up, thnugh of the
men who compose them one day, it is al-
most morally certain that some .ill be
borne to their graves the Deal, in conse-
quence of lite very exposure' which they
maks neer-nary, and of Me excesses in eat-
ing and drinking to which they either di-
rectly or indirectly lead.
Intoxicating drinks appear to have assum-
ed anew fascination among us, and *nen
reel home at Dight, with the burden of life-
less forms some rickety cart reels to the
graveyard the next morning. Not only
men, but women stagger under the isdtt-
ence of the liquor from the still, and come
with pestrfornus breath and haggard looks
to ask advice, sympathy, assistance.
All this makes a dark picture. It it fan-
cy now, or is it fact 1 Like fancy it reads,
beyond a question. But that it is a fact, is
seen, and heard and felt, etery day and eve-
ry hour in the day.
If ordinary prudence isfwbolly • thing of

simple common sense, by the .td of which
the danger may be seen and avoided 1 It
is amazing that people who see their friends
and neighbors falling around them almost
every hour, will persist in carrying into
their houses and placing upon their tables,
food deemed unwholesome if freely indul-
ged in at any time, and now known to be
poisonous to the system. It is wonderful

rear of Beaver Hall House. The flames
speedily communicated with the adjoining
stables, and with the house itself, which
was untenanted and the whole of these buil-
dings were eotirrly consented. The resi-
dence of Mr. Iltncks, Holmes, snd Mrs.
Bowman, sdjoining,tbe Beaver Hall House,
were for some time in great danger, and the
furniture and effcts were removed from
them, but the wind fortunately blowing in
art opposite direction, they were saved.—
We regret to learn that two horses, the
property of Mrs. Bowman, were burnt.—
Tho property is, we understand. insured to
the full amount of damages.—Ibid.
DReR'Tusse rem ire Capri.—We learn
that the debentures issued lot year are now
being redeemed in cash, as they become
due, at the Government Howe.—Herold.

Barone Dinena.—A Reform Dinner was
given by a portion of die Lanark Liberals to
the lion. J. Wylie and R. Bell, Esaq., our
member, oa Tuesday last. At 3 o'clock
about 100 persons sat down to a sumptuous
dinner, prepared by Mr. Lavelle*, in a pa -
villins erected for the occasion, decorated
with evergreens. The dinner went off to
the full satisfaction of all concerned, and
the soul -stirring sentiments of some ofthe
speakers were listened to with the utmost
attention, and met with enthusiastic ap-
plause. Tho manner in which our worthy
Governor's health was drunk, and the loud,
hearty cheers that followed told in language
that could not be misunderstood. the deep
esteem and regard in which His Excellency
was held by those present on that memora-
ble occasion. and not only by those present
at the dinner, but it is the eeoument and
feeling of every Reformer in the County of
Lanark. Meetings for social enjoyment,
mutual intercourse, and political converse,
such as that we are now recording are well
calculated to infuse additional life and vigor
into those who have espoused the cause of
political Reform,—are well calculated to
deepen conviction of the truthfulness of our
prisciples. At so time should Reformers
be united more than now—et no time should
they be more vigilant and active than the
present. They should talk tp their prin-
cipes to all that will hear, and seed the
Reform Journals from hand to hand and
from house to house. The Tory Jour-
nals are determined if possible, to prevent
their dupes from being eslightesed, and
basely endeavor to mak* them believe things
not having the slightest shadow of truth in
them. We were pleased to see some To-
ries looking on, hearth(' the speeches from
