During the fight, General O'Neill was arrested by United Slates Marshal Foster and taken back to St. Albans, where he was arraigned before the United States Commis sioner for violation of the neutrality laws, and sent to Burlington, to be committed in default of $ l'0,000 bail.

The Presbyterian General Assembly recon vened at 31 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The entire session was occupied with the discus hion en the ratio of representation, many delegates insisting on the number of churches constituting the basis of representation, and not the number of ministers, which would include those without charges. The debate was participated in by the foreign delegates Professor Blackie, of Scotland, Drs. McLeod and Edniond, of Ireland, and Dr. Arnot, of Edinburgh but no action was reached at the time of adjournment. Reeeptlon of the Foreign Delegate. In the evening the church was crowded to suffocation, every available spot having been tilled even before the exercises commenced. The services were opened with singing, which the entire audienoe united in, causing the most impressive and imposing effect. The Moderator then called on a member to lead in prayer, during which, notwithstanding the size of the congregation, the utmost silence prevailed. After prayer, a formal re ception of the foreign delegates took place, the Moderator welcoming them in an appro priate address, at the close of which Iter. Dr. Arnot, one of the foreign delegates, ad dressed the audience, expressing his gratitude for tbe warmth of feeling shown the dele gates from a distance, and alluding in elo iiuent terms to the pleasure they had expe rienced while attending the deliberations of the Assembly. The remarks of Dr. Arnot were continued at great length. He was followed by Professor William G Blackie, of the same Church, by Dr. Robert Watts, and Mr. Thomas Sinclair, of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, who spoke leas lengthily and elaborately than Dr. Arnot, but all expressive of tbe same cordial feelings of Christian fraternity and hearty rejoicing over the reunion. The Moderator (Dr. Backus) responded cor dially, welcoming the strangers to our shored, and reciprocating all the kindly feelings that had been expressed. The Montreal WUnei learns from parties conversant with the condition of that city that there are between two aud three thousand dwellings standing vacant, representing a dimi nution ot population to the extent of from ten to fifteen thousand persons. This shows that the emigration to the United States Is still con tinued. It is not unusual for 200 French Cana dians to go off Li a tingle day from the Bona- AT 110ME. A recent visitor to Holland, Karl Braun, of Wiesbaden, contributes to the pages of the uartenlaube some lively sketches of Datob. life, a few facts from which nny be new and interesting to onr readers. On landing at Rotterdam his first meal consists of a super eminently good beefsteak. He praises this to the waiter, as in honor and gratitude laound, and is informed that the canny Dutch always keep their grass-led cattle for their own consumption or to net before the guests who do them the honor of a visit; whereas those they send to the English market are animals nourished in the alcoholic distilleries at Schiedam, etc. Herr Braun's observations on Dutch beds (not tulip beds) introduce us to a new branch of comparative philosophy. The Dutch bed, he savs, is very much larger, and therefore more comfortable, than .the German bed. Of the convenience of the latter, in some parts of Germany especially, he has touching plaints to make. He was at Weimar once, and, expostulating with his landlady in the morning about the narrowness of the pre cincts to which his recum1cnt body had been consigned, was taken to see the keeping apartment once occupied by the poet Schil ler. "I felt ashamed," he says, with touch ing candor, "when I beheld the miserable little garret in which our great poet hud dwelt, end the narrow board on which he bad slept, and which in my opinion euphemistical injustice only could have called a bed !" From Weimar be on that occasion travelled south. Bad beds accompanied him till he got quit of tbe Ger man tongue, and descended from the dolo mite mountains into the Italian Tyrol. At Cortina d'Ampezzo bis bed was as wide as that at Rotterdam. Such beds, he says, are still to be found in the princely residences in Germany, and in a few patrician and peasant domiciles which have survived social dis order and revolution. But for the most part they have vanished. The more sordid ideas of a prevailing middle class came in with the decline of the old aristocracy which set in from the sixteenth century, and which the prosperity of the nineteenth-century burghery is only now replacing. Now, then, for a re turn to better domestic accommodations, and, above all, to larger beds! We look upon Herr Braun's philosophy in this matter as perverted. With us in England, luxurious as are our bouse arrangements, small beds are surely gaining the day on the spacious "four posters" in which our ancestors delighted. A soldier's habits are perhaps exceptional; but Schiller could scarcely have died ou a smaller bed than did the Duke of Wellington, or even, in another land, Nicholas I, Czar of all the Rnssios! The Dutch ladies find a resource against the disagreeable damp chills of their climate in the habitual use of the "stoofje," an earthen vessel filled with hot coals, and hav ing five holes at the top through which the heat ascends. The "stoofje" is an article of rich and varied ornament as well as of use among the wealthy classes; but the poorest washerwoman and serving-maid have their "stoofje," and to Ao without it would seem to be as impossible for them as for the habitual smoker to do without his pipe or cigar. The indulgence, however, would seem to have some bad effects on the health, and some are disposed to ascribe to it the Dutch woman's want of walking power. On the ordinary personal qualities or "humors," as our old writers would say of the typical Dutchman, our author has some quaint remarks to make. He is struck by the mixture of great solidity and sedateness, with a turn for practical jokes of a childish and somewhat clumsy description, which the character usually embodies, and in which he is reminded of the whimsical contrasts once , observable in the life of the Middle Ages such contrasts as "where, in one and the self same church, would be witnessed to-day the practice of the most rigid self-mortifying asce ioism, to-morrow the celebration of some wild, grotesque, licentious Feast of Asses." The Germans are to the Dutch, in Herr Braun's views, like a daring go-ahead nephew, who seeks bis fortune in the wide world without much respect to the opinions of his old-fashioned uncle at home, but gets credit and success notwithstanding, of which tbe nncle is not a little proud, despite of him self. ! The piece of musical clock-work which usually graces the centre of a Dutchman s. dinner-table, and wnose pertormances, alter-; nately with the recital of poetry, were only a short time back and are still in old-fashioned houses the favorite social entertainment, tes tifies to the same heavy-sportiveness of the national taste. No doubt much room is still left on the banks of the Zuyder Zee for the modifying Influences of French plasticity and German inspiration. Herr Braun's paper in the last number of the uarteiuaube is tnenrst instalment only of what promises to be a pleasant and instructive portraiture of na tional modes and manners. He adverts briefly to the education question, on wnicn, as ia other countries, war is being waged between the denominationalist and undenoinination- alist parties. The latter, he considers, have a strong position on the . platform of local self-government. PaU Mall Gazette, Am Old Writer ea "The Girls." In the present day, when women take no thought of dress, never complain of their condition, and altogether preserve such a modest retirement, it is pleasant not only to mark the improvement which has taken place in their habits, but also the increased synv pathy shown for their wrongs and sorrows, since Burton,' in his "Anatomy of Melan choly," made the following unjustifiable and horrible revelations:- ' Why do they decorate themselves with arti ficial flowers, the various colors of herbs, needleworks of exquisite skill, quaint de vices, and perfume their persons, wear Ines timable riches in precious stones, crown themselves with gold and silver, use coronets and tiaras of various fashions, deck them selves with pendants, bracelets, earrings, chains, girdles, pins, rings, spangles, embroi deries. bhadows, ribadoes, versicolor rib bands? Why do they make such glaring f hows with their scarfs, feathers, fans, masks, furs, laces, tiffanies, ruffs, frills, calls, cuffs, damasks, velvets, tissets, cloth of gold, silver tissue t euch setting up with sarks, straiten ing with whalebone, why it is but as a day net catcheth larks, to make young ones stoop unto them. And when they are disappointed they dissolve into tears, which they wipe away like sweat; weep with one eye, laugh with tne otner, or as cmiaren weep and cry, they can both together; and as much pity is to be taken oi a woman weeping as ot a goose going barefoot.
