The Herald Commissioner’s Ruamovsui, Augest 10, 1868. ‘The Counticn of Rimouski cad Timescouta—Population and Produetions— Riviere de Loup—Meet With an Old Officer of Benaparte's Guard—Byiscopat Church—The Falla—4 Parish ima Court of Law—The Roman Catholic Clergy. ‘My last letter was dated at Cucouna, immediately after my arrival there from the Saguenay, and where I re- Mained during the day. It ix quite @ pretty place, and, as I believe I before remarked, is a favorite resort of the | ‘wealthier classes for the purpose of enjoying salt water Dathing. The house at which I stopped is kept by « person ‘ef the name of Kelley, who opsned it as @ port of hotel about ten years since, and sucteeded in drawing public ationtion to this locality. I should suppose there are a their children; others have hired rooms in private houses, for two-or three miles on the road above and below, pay- ing for the occupancy, according to the amount of accom- modation, at a rate varying from ten to fifteen dollars » month, and providing for their own tables. The charge gt the hotel is very reasonable—a dollar a day—those who board there dining at a table d’ hote, which is well found. Cacouna is siluated in the county of Timescouta, which formerly constituted part of that of Rimouski, but which has rocently been divided, owing to its very great extent, the entire county containing a population of 26,882 souls, andan area of 8,200 square miles—rather more than three inhabitants toa mile. There are in the two coun- tes 22,458 Canadians, of French origin, and 446 natives of the United States. The others are for the most part from. England, Ireland, and Scotland. The population, with re- ference to religious creeds, consists of 26,370 Roman Catho- Uios, 66 members of the Church of England, 2 Methodists, 844 Presbyterians, 1 Baptist, and 99 other denominations, ‘There was produced in 1851, of wheat 78,803 bushels, bar- 80,671, rye 66,200, peas 39,105, and 194,905 bushels of pe- tatoes, exclusive of a large quantity of other agriculture luce; there was made that year 265,283 pounds o tter, and 6,423 barrels of fish were caught and cured. ‘These counties contain 21 grist mills, propelled by water | power, and 59 saw mills. The parish church is at Ca- oun, and, generally speaking, the distance from one ehurch to another is about nine miles, In the afternoon, as the road was rather hilly, I hired a ealeche to take me from Cacouna to the Riviere de Loup | —five miles distant. The universal charge in this part of Canada is five cents per mile. For any very great dis- tance a bargain may be made for less. The road is very good along the coast, and also, I understand, in the inte- Fior, which is laid outin concessions to a distance of about nine miles; but the setilements extend farther in the rear towards Quebec. At the Rivi de Loup the road to Take Temiscouta turns off, by which the mail is carried three times a week to New Brunswick, and thence to Hali- fax. The distance is thirty-six miles to the lake, which is twenty-seven miles in length, and it discharges its waters to the river St. John, by the Madawaska river—twenty- one miles, The roadas far as lal round the lake itis ina veryhad state, having been most un- accountably neglected; aud the best plan is to descend the Jake and river inw canoe, and theuce to the Grand Falls on the river St. John—the entire distance being one hundred and three miles. While Cacouna is situated on @ delightfully level plain, the village at the Riviere de Loup is elevated on a rocky eminence. There is a barrack here, which was occupied dy a detachment of British troops at the time of the dis- turbance in 1840, growing out of the disputed territory question, which was terminated by the Ashburton treaty, and the houses in the village and its vicinity are indica: tive of wealih and considerable refinement. Having understood that a French officor was residing in the neighborhood, who had served with Napoleon and was one of those who accompanied him to Elbe, I called to pay my respects, and was received with the urbanity and courtesy I expected. He was clad in the plain, home- apun dress of the country, and was without his coat. I was invited by him to walk in the garden, and learnt that he commenced his military career at the battle of Marengo, served in the disastrous campaign to Moscow, whieh he visited, and fought at Waterloo. After which in consequence of the overthrow of the Empire, he qui France and came to Canada, and for several years has re- sided at Riviere de Loup, cultivating and adorning the spot which he has chosen for his future home. He is known as Captain Louis, and is now in his seven- ty (ourth year, but looks much younger. He appears to be perfectly contented in his seclusion— “he world forgetting —by the world forgot:” and, on my Inquiring why he did not return to France now that the Eonaparte dynasty has been restored, he replied that he had no confidence in the present govern- ment of France, the stability of which he considered as depending upon the life of Louis Napoleon, and which even that, perhaps, will not long maintain. He expressed much satisfaction with reference to the cordiality that at present exists between England and France, which, if ‘united, he deemed more than a match for the world ar- rayed against them in arms. The Captain has never ac- uired the English language, for which he has little occa- Son ine country where no other than French is ordinari deereeetoekal ee as et serea 5 dawns venerable old r to enjoy that retirement = is rarely invaded by a stranger, and returned to in. ‘There isa neat Episcopal church at the Riviere de Loup. Built of stone, in which a clergyman of the Church of | England, of the name of Ross, officiates, but who thas a very small congregation, as it may be Supposed, where the people, with few exceptions, are all Roman Catholics. It appears that a few years since a young minister of that denomination visited this locality, With whom the few English residents there were much fed, and whom he induced to contribute a sum rds its erection. The requisite amount was made up By the Bishop of Quebec and subscriptions fu that quar- ter, and an allowance is made by the Society for Propa- | ting the Gospel in Foreign Farts for the support of | Sir. Hows, the present incumbent,who, during the summer | scaron, when a number of Protestants are assembled at | Cacouna, officiates on Sunday at that place. About’a mile and a half from the village are the Falls, whieh are well worth seeing when the water is at ita | test height, and which then have a descent of eighty | Bot. “As, owing to the dry weather which has prevailed | @uring the summer in Lower Canada, the river was very Jow at the time I was at the Riviere de Loup, I passed on without seeing what at any other time would have been worth visiting. | ‘The following evening after my arrival I walked out about mile and a half to the residence of the Rev. Mr. Proulx, the cure of the parish, who insisted upon my maining with him during the night. He speaks very good English, which is rather uncommon here, and is a very Tiberal and well-informed gentleman, We spent a very pleasant evening together, during which he made namer- ous inquiries relative to the United States, the “ peculiar Seatitution” of the South, and other topics of public in- at. ‘The ehurch in which he officiates adjoins his residence, but is too small for the number of persons who frequent it, and I was surprised to find that the xite for another is a subject of litigation among his parishioners—one por- tion of them desiring to have a new church erected at the Village, which ix at the extreme end of the parish, and the other being equally determined to have it built at the Joeality where the old one is situated, which is more cen- tral. It seems that there isa provincial statute on the et, and the wnole matter has been referred to a court of law, where it has been some time, and where it will probably remain while the lawyers ean derive any advan- e from delay. it way bo a1 well to mention here that the cle of the Chureh of Rome in Lower Canada all ferm dress, consisting of a long black gown descending to the feet, fitting tight round the body, and buttoning upin front close to the neck, and a black stock round tae neck, the two square ends in front having « narrow white bor- der. It is avery becoming dress, and is worn both ab home and abroad, and Ihave never found them without it call upon them at what hour J would. It appears to me that much of the sectarian bitterness and sitife that exist in Canada would be dispelled if Pro- testants would throw aside all projudices, visit. these ex- eellent men, and make themselves acquainted with their habits and pursuits. Devotedly attached to their own ehureh, and occ upied in the performance of their paro- | ehial and clericalYuties, they do not meddle with the at. fairs of any other; and the best evidence of this is afforded in the amiable character of the people committed to their @harge, and over whom, for good oF evil, they exercise an | almost unlimited control. w.

Our files from Barbadoes are dated down to the 23d of August. ‘The steamer Derwent arrived, with the English and Northern mails, on Sunday morning, 2lst ult. ‘The West Indian of the 23d ullimo says:—For the in- formation and gratification of our distant readers, ¢ pecially those who have estates in Barbadoes, we men- tion the fine rains that have fallen for the last week, which began to be wanted by the canes. The early Promise of a good crop has been kept up to the present, Lieutenant General Wood, accompanied by the officers of his staff, left Parbadoes at noon on 234, on a tour of in- spection to Trinidad and Tobago, in her Majesty's steamer agers. In the Houre of Assembly, upon August 16, fourteen members were present, and several very important mat- ters of business transacted. As usual, three or four messages from the Governor were read, the most important of which covered a despatch from the Secretary for the Colonies, enclosing a reiterated { legal opinion respecting the determination of the func- tions of the linperial Postmaster, on the passing of the local post office bill. It is proposed to establish a central sugar manufactory and model farm in Barbadoes; for which purpose a bill was recently introduced into the House of Assembly to author- ize the formation of the company, and to bestow on it the necessary powers for its maintenance. It originates, we are informed, with certain gentlemen of the city in: terested in the improvement of the staple productions of the island, as proprietors and merchants, ‘The company propose to raixe forty thousand Pounds at once, by the sale of eight thousand shares of £5 each, reserving to themselves the power of extending their capital to sixt thousand pounds, by the creation of four thousand addi- tional shares, if they should find it to their interest here- after to do so. From Antigua we are glad to find that the yellow fever had disappeared. The inhabitants of St. Johns had been twice alarmed by the outbreaks of fire, which fortunately were soon extinguished. The Attorney General, Mr. Sheriff, was expected to leave for England by the’ next steamer, on account of his daughter's health. Mr. Kerr was to act for him during his absence. At St. Kitts the weather is described as very favorable, cool for this time of the year, with fine showers for the young canes. The island is said to be in a flourishing condition, evidenced by the state of the treasury, in which there is more money than is wanted for the expenses of government. At Montserrat, too, things are said to wear an improved appearance, owing, in a great measure, to teveral enterprising gentlemen from Barbados, who had gone down there and bought estates, which they manvge on a better system, more particularly by paying their I~ borers regularly every week, in cash, as is the custom at Barbadoes, and by introducing new methods of planting, &c., from which quite an alteration has taken place in the’ condition of Montserrat from what it was a year or two ago. From St. Lucia the only thing mentioned in the Palla- dium is the passing of an act by the Legislative Council, laying additional export duties on the staple produce Is, per gallon on rum, 6d. on molasses, an sid. per ewt on sugar, to provide for the interest and liquidation of @ loan of £15,000, which they have borrow ment for the purpose of procuring tmmigranta, 1,000 of whom they hope to obtain by thi ‘The Palladi- iin regards dite orthanos as obje Intelligence from El Paso. ‘The following imielhgence from bl Paso is no Inter than that which we have already published, bat some particu- lars of interest are givenin the San Antonio Ledger and the Western Texan, of ti® city. A correspondent of the former paper, referring to the robbery and slaughter of an emigrant party by the Apache Indians in the Guada- lupe mountains, says = Four of the party having been killed by the Indiang at the commencement, a proposition was made to endeavor to effect anescape out of the canon in the direction in which they entered it, (this being the only possible chance of escape on horseback,) bat a further develop- ment convinced them that they had the enemy to contend with even in their rear. There was, then, no other alternative left but to fight desperately for their lives. Patten, who commanded the party, implored the men to stand together, and make as desperate 4 struggle as they possibly could; and this the poor fellows did, Ten out of the thirteen were killed on the ground, three of the number made their escapa, but their suffer- ings, and extreme hardships were almost tantamount to death in its most horrifying shape. Two of the party Were out eight days before they arrived in the settlements, during the whole of which time they had not tasted one particle of food. Three days of the above period they were without anything in the shape of water, save the blood of their horses, which they killed for the purpose of drinking their blood.

On Saturday morning last, between seven and cight o’clock. an armed mob came upon Andrew Adair, and his ron, George W. Adair, near their residence in Flint dis- trict, and killed them. Their bodies, it is said, were liter- ally torn to pieces with bullets. The mob, after killing these two men, started in pursuit of others; and we are in momentary expectation of hearing the aews of more mur- ders. Several have fled from the nation to save their nd a few are in this place seeking refuge from the the mob. Andrew Adair and his son were respectable and worthy citizens, and had accumulate! considerable vroperty by their industry, and were much exteemed and respected iu this state. We regret their fate, and our blood runs cold when we think of their inhusran butchery. ‘There bus existed between these two men and_others a feud, which is no uncommon thing among the Cherokees, and they have fallen victimm to the fury and hatred of their enemies.

[From the Melbourne Herald, forgan of the English Goy- ernment,) July 20.} It may be in the recoliection of our ree/ers, that not many mouths back we drew attention to aa abortive at- tempt at systematic agitation got up by a would-be colonial O'Connell, who, on closer acquaintance, turned out to be nothirg more than a mere mountebank at thet ade. A meting was held—the land-question was the protence— self-glorificution of the individual agitator, ead sendin round the bat for shillings, the real objects : the atten ce was neither numerous nor eeleci, ard. the whole affair would, exe thix, have been consigned to oblivion, but for one incident that has occurred to briag ft back to recollection. ‘On the occasion we allude to, the agitator paraded, for the admiration of bis yery spaye andience, the sara and stripes of the United States, above, or alongride, (we were not there to’ nee,) | the glorious cid Unlon Jack of Great Britain. He may have felt momentarily flattered, at that proud period of his ex- istence, at reeeiving the thanks of an Elijah Pogram for the honor he bad conferred on the national eosign of America ; but a chilling allusion to.a ducking in. tho inconveniently neighboring Yarra, soon cheeked his ex- uliant spirits.

In the event of any one of ‘these jubildes we fear that the result would bea hanging from the nearest lamppost, unless the bowie knives of some freo and enlightened citizens anticipated the majesty of Lynch law.

To ask the Queen's vi y to celebrate the success of King George’s enemies, however much in the right those enemiea may have been, is @ most extraordinary proposal, to say the least of it; and we mey venture to predict that, as Mr. Latrobe's salary is sufficient to provide him with three hundred and sixty-five dinners per annum, and this ix not leap-year, he will decline the honor without regret.

[From the Melbourne Argus, (people's paper,) June 24.] A rather amusing degree of excitement lina been cre- ated by the announcement that the Americans resident in this colony intended to celebrate the great ersary of independence with their characteristic energy ani spirit, and in some quarters the prospect of such an event has been met ina style of narrow jealousy and carping suspicion, which is not at all in accordance with the liberal tendencies of the age, or the frank spirit which | ought to characterize the people of the most rapidly pro- gressing country in the world. ‘The Americans celebrate the anniversary of their in- dependence, here, indeed!” say these victims of a dis- eased patriotism; ‘here, in a British colony, and invite the representive of a British sovereign to listen to the Getails of British defeats and British dishonor! Well, we never! We have heard from our births of Yankee impu- dence; but surely, to borrow one of their own phraves, this is ‘piling it up o leetle too mountaineous !’ The thing is transparent. It is a distinct effort of American ropagandism, ‘The attack is more dangerous than an Invasion of the French; infinitely more dangerous, be- canse it is insidious. ‘Our sacred ‘constitution’ is in danger. Our most cherished ‘ institutions’ are imperilled by this sudden unfurling of the saucy stare and stripes.”” It must be a great consolation to these nervous gentle- men to learn that there is nothing unusal in this cele- bration; that the great republic is cordially toasted upon that day in every part in the world where one of its en- terprising and ubiquitous citizens can find out another; that crowded and splendid entertainments are given by American gentlemen, not énly in British colonies, but in the leading cities of Britain herself; and that they are attended by the very élie of British society—the lron Luke himself having thought it no dishonor to make his bow to the American flag, even on the anniversary of on which it taught our own ensign as severe but a lesson asit ever learned. such a celebration? On the consuromation of an event which has led to such results in the history of the world, was nothing done for us? While we have been struggling for celiverance from transportation and bad goverfiment, have no recollections of other times forced themselves upon narrow-minded ministers or hard-hearted and des- | poetic secretaries of State? In our blind adoration of our | mother country, have we no recm for natural affection for that wiich is, and we hope will always be, our elder brother? Do we owe America nothing— n the gran a shed; in the re: | which she has kindled; in the spirit of freedom which she | has developed end encouraged; in the lessons she has fur- nished: the ‘experiments whieli she has made; and tho trivmphs which she has achieved? We owe her much in- deed; so much that we pity from our very hearts that | sordid soul which cannot hail the day in which she first claimed herself a nation. fhe beat us in doing so we are told; and, therefore, we are bound to brood over our defeat, and cherish centuries of malignant jealousy at the bold and imanly foe who thrashed us in fair fight. Perish such unworthy thought! America fought with Britain, but she fought on the side of right. She contended against great odds, and in a holy cause; she won, and she deserved to win. She fought with Britain drunk; she now appeals to Britain sober. It is indeed one of the most del'ghtful features of the ‘progressive’? school, that the ground which we fight foc to-day ik gladly oceujied a year hence by the most stub- born and stupid of the slower paced of the political world The very reform which is denounced as the wild innova tion of the anarchist one year, becomes a year after an “institution!” religiously guarded by the veriest tory who oppored it to the death. ‘Thus, no modern Engli husan justifies the conduct of the ministry which drove America to arms which expended a vast a aount of blood and tren- sure, and lighted up a flame of animosity which yenrs of friendly intercourse have scarcely quenched. On the contrary, all Englishmen ef the present day condemn it W, have'shown that the Duke of Wellington did not hesi- tate to pay his respects to the nstional anniversary; and we find another high conservative authority expressing a very distinct opinion uyon the course of policy which ted to auch great results:—“Injustice,” said the Earl of Derby, while speaking upon the subject at a recent dinner at Liver: pool, “Injustice—I don’t hesitate to use the word—led to Teristance; resistance led to revolution; revolution led to the full enjoyment and full success of the popular principle and popular rights.”” In perusing the details of thal struggle, we can scarcely conceive any Englishman of the Precent day, who knows what freedom is) who does not ind his sympathies rather enlisted with the Americans than with his own countrymen—who does not find him. self fighting side by ride with Washington—sharing his sorrows and his diffleultios—animated with his apirit, and gladly dwelling upon his ultimate triumphs, One’s heart way stir in the heat and ardor of tho individual battle, one may be glad to see that, even fighting in a wrong caure, the Engliehman is still brave, and firm, and trust: porthy; bnt no man can read the history without feeling that the Americans ought eventually to have tumphed, and rejoicing (hat in the long run they did 40, On th one side we have an odious and insolent tyranny; on the other, a young people bravely fighting for thelr just rights.

She stated that she had intended to shoot the man, but was very sorry that she had killed him, and was horrified at the prospect of being hung. She gave as a reason for her conduct that Murray had | reduced her at Madison, Ia., and induced her to come to | this city, about a year ago,’ by the promise of marrying | her. About eight months ago'she became a mother, an Ler child died about two months since.

Mrs. Williams represented herself | as ap actress, and said she had but recently come to this country from England, where she had! performed bofore Prince Albert and the Queen, and where she had received a handsome present from the young Prince, Her ward- tebe had become damuged by aalt water and she wished to purchase materials to renew it, as she had an engage- mert at the Walnut steet theatre.

A single case of detention came to the knowledge of the commander of the squadron, and that was promptly inquired into at Charlottetown, where the fishing schoon- er was sent and tried.
