He dlrided hi * army into three parUi which 100 k Mparate r » ada , and eomiuitted on the neighbouring country all acru of pillage and atrocity . "I will » j * reyon , my dear friend , the details of the frightful scenes and of the barbarous acts which this general officer and the brigand * whom ha commanded committed , to the disgrace of BntUh arm * ant of humanity . Murder , rape , anon , pQlagr , and devastation have been carried to the utmost « c * a * . Half is not yet known to the public . Our enemies only haTe been heard , and a feeling of stupor pre » vents as from telling all . In America only it is that the whole of the truth can be puhlishnd , and tttat the infamous act * of an unjust , oppreuWe . and barbarons QoTnrnraent can
be maJe known . Bern our eDsmu-s , after having arushrd us , do all in their power to extinguish the cries of their victims . We mre m ^ aiii iuea >* c « d with new disasters , and if w « tn not pr otected , if Providence does not asaist us , if th « despicable handful of loyalutt who domineer bora are allewed to continue wasters , they will convert Canada into another Poland . Alread y 500 Canadians have b * en imprisoned , and suffered every kind of evil ; a great number have been compelled to expatriate themselves . Many churches have hern burnt , and an innumerable nniober of other public and private buildings . More than 3000 families have been plundered and reduced to breparyby British military , whtUt the embarrassment tbat will be prodacei by the destruction of title deeds is inconceivable . All , all have been destroyed by these modern Vandais , at the head of whom stands Sir John Culbome . "
Such is the mild and pacificatory character of him into whose hands , as an uncontrolled despot , the fate of this fine and brave people has been consigned . How long will the British people suffer themselves to be thus made a stink in the nastrils , and a byeword in the mouths , of all the nations of the earth ? What end has been answered , or what end can be answered , by the perpetration of these horrible atrocities ? "Why have they been perpetrated ?
Specially to enable Mr . EgwARb Ellicb , and a few other infamous political jobbere , to rob tbe Canadian people by tbe abstraction of large sums as absentee landlords , and to rob the British people , at the same time , by forcing them to pay a high price for bad timber when they might have good timber at a low price . This is the . special and particular purpose for which all the murders , rapei , robberies , arsons and indescribable cruelties of this unnatural warfare have been
perpetrated . There was also another object , of a more general , and , to the bloody factions , a more important" character , to be attained thereby ; the maintaining of the principle of oligarchal domination which had been infringed by the laudable and patriotic manner in which the Canadian House of Assembly clung to the laws and Insisted on the Constitution ' s being adhered to . None are so vociferous as the factions about the observance of the law when the law can be twi » ted to their purposes ; none so ready to trample tbe law under their feet whenever it thwarts them in their work of plunder ,
Thui it has ever be * n , in every country where arUtoeratie " rule hni been eitablinhi-d—thus hit , even now , in England , to a large extent , and thus it will ever be , waxing worse and worse , until the people , rising in tbe greatness of their might , annihilato faction with a blow , by the establishment of Universal S'iffrage , as the only medium through which rigbteousneai and peace can be obtained .

We are tofd that the key of the safe , which Bolam stated he left in his desk , and which gave rise to the idea that it bad been removed by the perpetrator of th « murder , was discovered . The police also oh . tained information that a person living in the vicinity had heard the pane broken in the kitchen window , on Thursday afternoon , which the housekeeper '' of Bolam swore before the coroner ' s jury that she brok « oii the Wednesday .

¦•' :. ¦ . I .-.. ¦¦ , v- . ¦' . . . . . ¦ ¦ : ; .. . . ¦ " Court ' of Excheauer , Dublin . Saturday , December 8 th . — Mr . Napier moved that Edwin Eddiaon , Esq ., ol the eminent firm of Payne , Edduon , and Co ,, Leeds , be appointed a Oonimiasioner for the Yorkshire district , for taking answer * , pleon , and atfidavita . Counsel stated that Mr . Eddison had already been appointed a . Commissioner for the High Court ol Chancery and the Queen ' s Bench ni . Common Pleas . H « was Town C )« rk of Leeds , and one of the . moat ruspeclafale . talented , and extensive practitioners in Yorkshire ; hia certificate ef character nnd qnaliKcatioa Was signed by several dintinguish-cd barristers , banken , and merchants : "—Order granted .
How this very minute detail of a mere matter of form in a Ian * court proceeding , possessing no public interest whatever , but so highly interesting to that " eminent firm" in particular , should happen to have found its way into the Dublin Morning Registert we cannot poHitively say , and we will not ask the town clerk of Leeds to enlighten us : it has served the purpose of extraction—that i * enough for us 1 and jprobably , for the town clerk also . The practice of puffery in all its branches recognisec the puff within pufi ^ just as the quack-doctor quotes the letter of his patiunt . It is not the town clerk of Leeds to whom we would appeal upon the question of decency and propriety in this matter , nor even the
v etuinent firm' ' of which he is a worthy member : we would appeal to Mn Edwin Eddiuon , a gentleman , whose pleasing , unassuming manners , kindness of heart ; and singleness of purpose its a member of society , and of the profession to which he belongs , we are sure , entitle aim to the respect and confidence of every suitor who may have occasion to apply to him in his legal practice ; and we would ask him what he thinks of the position in which the . town clerk : of Leedi isi piaced by this unscrupulous puffery of the soul-debasing , party-aid seeking , professionalcharacten-bUsting Mercury 9 Jf Mr . Eddison can only bring himself to a calm consideration of this matter in his private ... character ; ' - he may reoollect other passages in the official career of the town-clerk which may assist him mattrially in the formation of hw judgment : he may recollect that when the present town-clerk became a candidate for the
appointment , the object of the town-couheil was merel y to depriire the late Mr . Nicholson of the office , which he had held with much Credit for many years ; htbat their motive was mere party spite ; and that the means they : adopted were the paring down of tbe remundration to a point which they well knew he could not accept ; and that their paltry scheme could hot have succeeded unless another candidate had professed himself willing to perform the duty for the Biiaerabl * payi He may recollect , top , that this : new Town Clerk had not been lqng in Office before be ^^ discovered the utter inadequtwy of tke | hew ; stipend ; that he did not thereupon resign , and thus prove : to the world the bohesty of bii former ofiery but iortbwitb sought an advance from £ 250 to £ 6 Q 0 a-year ; and that his claim iraa conceded upon tha preposition of the : Very
laenueai tsRABLitJsh scrub of the € oundl who ; on thte 1 former occasion , had actually proposed that the salary of Mr . Nicholson aljould : be cut doWn to onlyl £ 100 aTyear ; Mr .

fiiSiBEZZiEMENT AT HOBSFORTH , —WiUliih Rawson and T . Rawsony werecharged with embeii ?| ing a quantity .-. of -wpil , the property of Mr . Paiwion , of J ^ amlej' . Mr . William James the poilice officer ' haying revived some informationVcilculatedtoin ^ culpate the prisoners ^ he , along with irispfrctor C hi Id , prbceeded to the place at Hor > fortbWobd-slde , where they found the prisoners and theiry mother in the house .: He asked Williani 1 if be bad been buying wool lately . He said 11 b . They went up stairs where th « y found a bag of wool of the same description as the sample which they hadreceived from Mr ; Pawwn . On asking where it bad come from they were told it belonged to Thomas Rawson , and that William had bought it at 2 a . 2 d . per pound . They at once seized upon it . T ' here were two beqs in the room below , and on goicg down stairs they heard a
groaning proceeding from one of the bea > , and bn asking what it was , Williani : told thenii it was bin mother who was neArly dead , and begged they would not d : sturb her as she was very iU ; there were curtains to the bed arid noticing that they were pinned together they resolved to examine it . In lifting up the curtains they found a quantity of wool stuck in between the bed and the wall- and covered withthe curtains so as prevent it being seen without their being removed . On further examiriation of the b ^ d more wool was found under the bed clothes . They asked if this was a proper place to put wool in , and were told the Wool being rather damp it was put there to dry . The mother who was represented as being nearly dead was found laying upon the bed compietely dressed , her hands were covered wtth paste fcr she had been bakingin the forenoon : a number oJ
Caps were on the tablealonjj with the smoothing iron , and underneath her in bed 1 was found a large cheese ; which has since been discovered to be embezzled iljio . They then proceeded to examine the drawew , in one of which wa * found £ 120 and some odd shiU lings , _ They gut a cart and 'Whilst removing the foods into it were sorel y abused by the woman who was found on the bed . they afterwards went to Woodside Mill , in whrch the brotherB have ^ mti shares , where they found more wool of the same ' quality which had been died black ; this they seized . and brought with the rest to Leeds . Inspector Child on ; being sworn , testified to the truth of this Vtatement
; n every particular . Samuel Hougbton was next called upon and sworn ; he ii aid ; he had been in the servica of Mr . Pawnori for 20 years in capacity of wool sorter , he recollected 30 bags of the same quality of wool , as that in court , coming to Mr . paWiiori ' s in October last , and iit W as * pot in a room at tome distance from the house , Mr . Paw « on kept the key of this place , and no person had Hny right to ga into this place without Mr . P ' V ' .- ' c ' oiisent .- " " A quantity of the wool being miftced , word was sent to the r . olice , who
commenced a search , and from his knowledge of wool , and he bad been 30 years in the busineM , he must say that the wool proiuced in court was a part of tboae 30 bagH .. He thought the frool was worth V * . a pound . Mr . Wainman aUo gave hU opinion from 35 years experience that the wool was of the HumelotaH the sample , and that iti value was from 2 a . lOd . to 3 » . Mr . Austin gave evidence to the name effect . The evideuce being very conciiwive and H « ti > ifactory , the two men were cphvicted in the penalty , of £ 20 for having wool on their premises of which they could not giveany iu « t nccount .
