The.chief part of Charlotte Bronth's life
was spent in a wild solitude compared with

never fell to Miss Austen's lot. _ When she
visited her kind publisher in London, liter-

' who ever connected the idea of Miss Austen

life when the last of the w&iks that she saw
published was in the press, that she received
the only mark of distinction that was evei
bestowed upon her ; and that was remarka
ble for the Mgt quarter whence it ernanathd
rather than for any actual increase of fame
that it conferred. It happened thus. In

her name secret had at this moment ceased
and though it had never appeared on a ti
tie page, yet it was pretty well-known
and the friendly 'physician was aware that
his patient's nurse was the author of "Pride
and Prejudice." Accordingly he informed
her one day that the Prince was a great
admirer of her novels; that he read them
often, and kept a set in every one of his re-
sidences; that he himself therefore had
thought it right to inform His Royal High-
ness that Miss Austen was in London, and
that tie; Prince had desired Mr. Clarke, the
libratian of Carlton Hense, to wait upon
her. The next day Mr. Clarke made his
appearance, and invited her to Carlton
House, saying that he had the Prince's in-
structions to show her the library and other
apartments, and to pay her every possible
attention. e invitation waspf course ac:-
ceptecl, and during the visit to Carlton

missioned to say that if Miss Austen had

A Political Bircl,
The French papers announce the death
of Jacko, the famous parrot of the War
Office in Paris. Jacko was first brought to
the office in 1830 by ATaeshal Soult, and he
remained for forty years fat his post unaf-
fected by revolutions or party conflicts. Af-
ter a time, says the Pall Mall Gazette, he
came to be looked upon as an indispeasible
appendage.of the War Department, and
when there was a cabinet misis people used
to ask who waste get,—not the War Office
portfolio,—but the War Office parrot. The
he served under eighteen different ministers
he always remaked consistent to the prin-
'ciples which were instilled into him when
he first entered office. Both under the
public and the second empire he remained
a staunch royalist, and ....there were few
niembers of his party whospoke their minds
with so much frankness, 'One day his re-
peated cries of "Vive le B.oi !" -so t annoyed
St. Amend when he was War Minister that
he ordered the indiscreet bird to be turned
out. - Jacko had a friend, however, in the
porter, who took him into . his lodge and
taught him to add "de St. Arnaud" to his
usual cry. The bird was then put back
into his room, and as the Marshal was pas-
sing, screamed out, "Vivo, le roi de St. Ar-
naud !" la bonne beure" said the Min-
ister, and Jacko was at once retaken into
favor.. Of late years the clerks tried to
teach him " Vive l'Emperur, but lie nev-
er could bring out the entire senteute with-
out tremendous efforts. He got on very
-well as far as "Vive l'Empet--" but at this
point he seemed to choke, his feathers stood.
on end, and his eyes rolled with ;an anxious
expression, as if he felt his conscience re-
proaching him. At last, after ten minutes'
intense struggling, he would jerk out the

last syllable "---eur" in a hoarse sepulhcral
tone. Ile died iramediately after the Du-
chess de Berri, and on the anniversary of
the death of Napoleon I., three days before

THE RICHEST MINING COUNTRY IN THE
WORLD. —Australia. has produced vast quan-
tities of gold ; so has California, and, so for-
merly did some of the old Spanish cotonies
of South America; but we question whether
any of those eountries yielded as high a
yearly average to each miller engaged as
British Columbia has done. In 1865, the
export of gold from British. Columbia, was
C570,000; in 1866, £600,000; in 1867,
£700,000. The actual export was really
much geater than this, because in' the above
figures is not eminaced the amount carried
out of the country by private individuals,
and not therefore entered upon the records.
There are about 3,000 miners in British
Columbia, hence, the aveiage yearly pro-
duct to each man is.. -C233, leaving out shat

dividuals. New and rich raines have ' re-
cently been discovered. There ire probab-
ly few countries which so abound in all the
elements Of wealth as British Columbia,

AF,FAWS IN MELBOURNE, AUSTRAL' A.—
Plivate letters from Melbourne repesent the
labor market as much overstocked, although
immigration is stili encouraged by a large
hparty. T e fact is, that Victoria is at the
present moment passing through a severe
crisis, Bliaing'property has become greatly
depreciated in value, partly front the natu-
ral exhaustion of the works which have
been long in operation, and partly from the
numerous instances of fraud in the so called
"auriferous discoveries," and the country
has now been so thoroughly "prospected,"
that it is hardly likely that any rich deposits
remain unrevealod. Attention just now
has been diverted th meat preserving, and
if the present movement in its favor contin-
ues to advance, the 'price of stock must ine-
cessarily rise, and perhaps the 43quatters May
thus be able to extricate themselves from
the heavy liabilities under which they now
stand to bankers and mortgageis. Mel-
bourne, however, is so essentially American
in its commercial spirit, that we shall not
feel surprised to learnthat its colonists have
"struck Ile" in some new and unexpected
quarter.
And whereas the amount of the whole
rateable property of the said municipality,

paying the said sum of $4000, as hereinafter
nientioned, it will require an equal annual
special rate of four nulls in the dollar in ad
dition to all rates to be levied in each yeah
13e it therefore enacted by the enunicipal
council of the viltage_of Seawall,
1. That it shall be lawful for the Reeve
of the village of Seaforth to taise by way
of loan front any person or persons I;ody. or
bodies corporate, who may be willing to ad-
vance the same upon the credit- of the de
beatures hereinafter mentioned, a sum

of -$4000, and to cause the same to be paid
into the hands of the,Treasurer for the pme

2. That- it ehall be lawful for the , said
Reeve to , causc. any number of deben-
tures to be -made for such sums of Money as
may be required, not less than $100 each,
(and not in the aggregate to exceed the said
sum of $4000), and that the said debentures
shall be sealed with the seal of the corpora-
tion of the said village, and be -i.gnet1 by the
said Reeve. •
*3. That' the said debentures be made pay-
able in fifteen years from the 44 -hereinaf-
ter mentioned for this by-law to take effect,
at the office of the Treasurer of the said mu-
nicipality, and shall have attached to them
coupons for the payment of interest thereon.
1. That the said debentures shall bear
interest at and after the rate of seven per
cent per annum. from -the data thereof, which
interest shall be payable on, the first days
of March and September in each year,at the
office of the Treasurer aforesaid.
5. That for the purpose of forming a sink-
ing fund for the payment of the said deben-
tures, and the intere'st, at the rate aforesaid,
to become due thereon, an equal special rate
.of fointinille in the dollar ;shall -in addition
to all other rates be raised, levied and .col-
--lectecl in each year, upon all the rateable
property in the said municipality- during the
continuance of the said debentures or any

lage of Seaforth,on Monday the eigth. day of

clock inethe forenoon, and that tthe poll
shall remain open until five °clock in the
afternoon of the same day; and that Thom-
as Porter Bull act as returning officer on
the said Occasion.
. Take notice, that the above is a true dopy
of a, proposed By -Law which will be taken
into consideration by the council of thia mu-
nicipality after one monthfrom the first
