From tus British Provinces —We have Halifax papers of the 17th instant.

The Democracy iu no county bas hesitated In ratifying that ticket or will fail to work arduously for its support till November.

In the posses sion of Sutton was found many implements aec- essary in the manufacture of the bills. In the cellar they found the plates for State Bank of Objiotwenties Bank of Kentucky tens—a new two dollar plate on the Southern Bank of Ken- tucky which had never been used. This plate is thought to be one of the bestever made. The ar- rests were made by officer Reaney, of Pittsburg SES eli go lo Tue Late Mg. Gates —A Washington correr, Pondent says :—*: The editorial abilities and la bors of Mr. Gales are familiar to the country, but itis not generally known that for some half a dozen years past he has not been able to contribute to the columns of the Intelligencer even by the aid of an amanuensis, the lake of composition or dictation bringing on that severe neuralgic pain, which finally caused a partial paralysis of the right side. He died on Saturday evening at seven o'clock without a struggle, having remarked a few minutes previously that be ‘must be very near death.’ Col. Seaton and lady and Dr Miller, who Imi been summoned to his bedside, arrived. too late to see him more in life. His estate near this city is called « Eckington,’ Wipich isthe name of the town in England where he was born.

Larcomb & Eng- lish, who have executed the work for Mr. Ford up tothistime. The public know that Larcomb & English deny Ford’s right to make the second sale, and have enjoined Mr. Heart, Superinten- dent of the Public Printing, not to pay over a dollar to Ford or bis second assignee. Mr. A. will respect the writ of injunction. So, if Pang- | born essays to execute the work remaining to be done, be must have rich backers in the specula- tien, for while it will require a heavy capital, the chances are ten to one that the Circuit Court will decide in fayor of Larcomb & English’s claims to the sub-contract; covering of course the right to execute whatever portion of the work Pangborn may do. In the meanwhile Larcomh & English have possession of a large quantity of executed House printing, embracing 30,000 copies of the voluminous report of the Covode committee, ordered by the House to be printed especially as a Republican party elec- toneering document for the current Presidential campaign. That large batch of documents, ts well as others, are now ready for delivery to the House binders; but not a sheet will Larcomb & English permit to go out of thelr possession wutil the Court decides whether their sub-contract or that of Pangborn isthe valid one. ‘The legal ques- tion will be in abeyance quite long enough, we *pprebend, to entirely defeat the partizan purpose of the Republican majority of the House in or- dering the printing of the immense edition of that expensive work, the cost of which they sad- died upon the National Treasury. We appre- hend that there are not a few others in the Dis- trict of Columbia besides Larcomb & English, and Defrees, who having claims growing out of the House printing cf this Congress, are not a little nervous over the condition in which It now stends. So much for the public printing stench which the last House raised; the odor of their own printing rascalities being likely to smell most offensively in the nostrils of an honest public. oe Sxxrcngs of Travet —The Editor of the Star Proposes, ere the close of the current week, to start out upon a tour similar to that which he per. formed at this season of last year; his purpose being to write and publish (in the Stay’s colun ns) a detailed account of all he sees and hears likely to interest the newspaper reading public. The fact that his simtlor letters previously published lave never failed to be extensively republished in the columns of contemporary journals, and to cause a very large extra demand for the Star—to be mailed by purchasers to distant friends—in- duces him to believe that be will be able on this occasion to add, thus, greatly to the Star's interest in these piping times of dullness in the Federal Metropolis. He gives this notice to the public in advance of starting out upon his tour, !n order that those who may desire to obtain extra copies of the paper containing his letters, one and all, may send in their orders at once to the Star office specifying the number of copies they wish re- served for them. Advertisers, by the by, will perceive that the publication in the Star of another such series of sketches of travel will be a great card for them; for the papers containing them have always been More sought after in this region of country than ever a newspaper was, except during the publica- ton of the S:ar’s report of the Sickles’ trial ee Tue PRrorosen Joint Ticxet in New Yorn The tone of the New York Tribune upon the cur- rent disposition of the friends of Bell and Everett to support a joint electoral ticket with the Democ- racy, Satisfles us that, so far as that wing of the opposition to the Republican party is concerned, there is to be no difficulty whatever in the con- summation of the proposed and very sensible union. The Tridwne calls Messrs. Brooks, Duer, and Hunt every conceivable name it can Jay its pen to. The meaning of its abuse is simply a con- fession that it sees a prospect of the defeat of the Lincoln ticket in New York, ahead In the meanwhile Mr Douglas himself is doing Lis best to prevent any auch onion in New York as that proposed ; thus adding contirmation to te now so general impression, that bis purpose is simply to make fair weather with the Republican party for the race in 1864. To be able to claim that he secured the triumph of Lincoln in 1560, by keeping the Democracy divided, and there- fore is entitled to a debt of gratitude from that organization. i.

The result bas been the complete destruction of nearly 250 acres of productive land. This event is said, by the journal named above, to have been witnessed by only one individual,a herdsman named Kadyr Rahim, employed in tending oxen on the spot. ‘The man states that, be was sitting under a tree on theside of a hill, watching bis cattle on the plain below, and was sudden! alarmed by a most extraordinary movement 1 the ground under bis feet. In bis terror he ran down the hill,and when he looked back be saw the trees hurled into the air and the surface of the ground heaving into hiliocks, filling the air with a cloud of dust. He further declares that there was no wind, nor any subterranean noise. The convelsions of the earth must have been corflaed to a very limited space, for the inhabitants of the village, only four miles distant, knew noting of what had occurred till informed by the herdsman, and could hardly believe their eyes when they saw the devastation effected in so short a tine Crowpxp WateR.noG Places y ays the London Lancet, “ex- cept some nervous and delicate females. anda few males with very susceptible and untamable stomachs, a moderate sea voyage is one of the finest tonics known.
