Qesesc, Dec. 14, 1862. :
The discharge of the -raiders in Montreal -
yesterday greatly surprised the members or
the GoVernment here._The-grcitind on which
the discharge was made is pronounced ridieu-
loue. Mr. Course', held ..that the 'Eat-radio:pi
Act Of 1861; amending the,Act of 1849, is
not in force, because it W85 not proclaimed by
the Queen. It did not require to be specially
proclaimed. It was asserted to by theCrown
in -Canada, and an -Order in Council was
passed in Eng and,epressty approving and
recognizing it. It ie as mach in force as
other law on the statute bolsi'. This 18 one
of those stupidblenders which inferior judges
fall into' when they attempt tO be Wiser than
thessuperiors.
The Government can do nothing, -except
perhaps remove the man who has shown bam
self so incompetent. New - warrants have
been issued hy a Superior Court Judge for
there -arrest of the raider*; Two or three of
them have gehe towards 4iviere du LOup, but
constables are nfter them. It is hardly pessi
ble- they ean escape, unless hue the. thliteo
States. ' .:- • .
As regards frontier difficulties, it is under
stood that au efficient military force will es,
sent to the border; towns immediately, to put
-down illegal demonstrations- from this aide.

Starvatio Extraordinary.
The Auitralian orrespondent of the Times
gives the following remarkable statement
illustrative of the Power of the haman being
to resist hunger :—
"A very remarkable incident,which I must
shortly relate, if otily for the interest it must
necessarily :hare for sciefitiflc and - medical .
:nen, lately Occurred here. • Discusaionshave
frequently arisen as to how long human crea ,
tures can exist withuut nourishment, and the
feet to which I proceed to-reler throws light
on such an investigation. Some weeks buck,
at the stollen of a Mr. .ntigald Stank at
-Horsham, two hayseed. a girl, aired respec-
tively the eldest boy nine, the girrseven, and .
the ycungest, boy five, the children of a car
penter named Duff, tvaedered by themselves
into the bush and were lost. They had been
sent out by their mother, as they had often
gene out oe the same errand before; to gather.
broom, and not returning before.: dark the
parents became alarmed, and. a search cons.
,menced.' The father, assisted by friends and .
neighbors in levee nui hers, scoured the
comity in every directior for nights and days
in vain:- At length,;pair, haassistance
of sothe aboriginal blacks was obtained, these
'people' possessing anali ost .bleedhound in-
stinct in thllowing up the rery faintest tracks.
The blacks soon -canoe upon: the -traces Of tbe
little wanderers, expatiating, as these trackers
always do, at every- bent twig, • or flattened
Luft of grass, on theapp.rent actings of the
objects of their, search. . 'Here, little one
tired; 'sit down; carry him- along. Here
travel all night dark; not Bee that bush;
her fall on him.' - Further on, and more ob-
sersations. -'Here liitle one died again; big,
one. knee/ down ; not able to Jise, fall flaton
his face. • The accuracy of these readings of
the blacks was ofterwardscianously corrobor-
ated by the children themselves.. Pn the
eighth day after they *ere lost, and lees after
tbe extinction of the fainteet hope of their
ever being again aeen alive, the searching
party came on them. They are described u
having been found lying all of a mit on
clump -of broom among mine treee,the TOotik
eat in- the middle carefully t wrapped in JOS
sister's frock: They appeared tote in a deep
and hut implement !deep. -On being awoke,
the eldestiried to sit up, .but fell' back. His
face was so eniaciated that his lips would nit .
cever his teeth, and he could Only just feebly
groatt.,!Fether•-' The youngest, who had
suffered Teat, woke ep as from a &MIMI
childlike demanding, 'Father, why didn't 700
Wm. for us sooner? we were cooing for you.'
The sister, who wair•eltnost quite gone, when
lifted could only iiiiirmur, cold..1. No;
wonder as the littleoreittirt had stripped
henielf et her frock, as the elder borsaid_, *to
cover Frani, for he was crying with cold:'—
The children have all since done well'r and
are rapidly recovering. They were without
fond, and by. their Own itedOatiti had only one
drink of Witter during -the whole tithe they
-were out, and this was from the Friday of one
week until the Saturday of the neat week._ In
lig nine days and eight nights, The pathetic
-points about this -little Watery are so (Arians
that you willled upl:Stopritie In being teld
that it hits-prdaileed a mariellont sensation
throughout -the colony. I only wish popular
iiympathy had easily at ,command -tome ism

little Jinni' Dors conduct than collecting

ell. • The deceased were menibers of the
volunteer aitillery company of the distrittlend
lived about four miles from the armory and
drill idled. On the evening of the 2nd inst.,
they proceeded to the i drill ground ,coming
up the St. Lawrence in a small boat. Cept.
A. McDonell, commander,of the corps, being
absent en the occesion; it broke up at an
early -hour. The yoneg men, consequently,
i
started for home, n Mr. E. Flagg's boat,
little before nine o'clock, p. m. The night
was dark and stormy, eausing. the- party -Ic.
hesitate- before entering upon their perilous
journey.' Shortly after pushing into the
river, cries of distress were heard from the
voyagers, lasting till they had made fully three
Miles on the water. Owing to the darkness
and inclemency of the weather, no Reeletitoce
could reach them in time., to save their lives.
A woman, living on the bend of the river,
gave the alarm, but the party who had come
forward to rescue the unfortunate youths
could not -find a boat for et longoimel and on
getting into the stream no sign of them
could he perceived. 1:he search for the
bodies his also- been ,unsuccessfut, though
seven boats were engaged on Monday in
dragging the battens 10 the 'centre and it
.hothlides of the river. It needing to add
that this misfortune has created a wide-
spread feeling of sednem throughout the,
above district. - •
