Stand_ ing reverently uncovered at the open grave of this admirable lady, surrounded by the fart fly of which she so long was one of the heads, we could not sorrow a s one without hope, for the -words or our Saviour flowed out from our hearts to our lips: 'Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Purity, simplicity. perfectly transparent troth and love were the distinguishing characteristics of Mrs. Lambdin s mind and heart, united to a quick percep tion and a. temperament which years of terrible dis ease could not do more than soften and mellow. The record of her calm and peaceful life is like a placid river shining in the sunlight and reflecting nothing but gentle lights and shades. To her friends the loss .of such a lady would be irreparable, did they not look forward to a meeting in that eternity where, unspot ted from the world, her parity and goodness shine Among the angelic choir. tgr E.

'ek The Steckholders of the Whipple File Hannfitetur ing Company assembled in the Office of the Company, No. 39 Kilby street. yesterday afternoon. in response to the pi Wished notice of the holding of the annual meet ing at that time. There was quite a large number pre sent. and previous to the opening of the mee ing he subject of the recent failure of the Company, was ear nestly discussed The President of the corporation. Mr. Williym P Pierce, called the meeting to order, and tho call was read by J. B. Croswell, the clerk. The r eport of the committee appointed at n previous meeting of the stocklgiders to investigate the affairs 01 the company was next called for. On ecccunt of the illness of Mr. Cheney. the chairman of that com mittee, at his request Mr. Charles W. Cartwright made a verbal report. He stated that• the, committee were not yet ready to make a full and flhal report They bad appointed an accountant to make up a fall state ment. from the books of the company, or its property, e wets and Hebrides, who bad not .yet completed Us work. The committee therefore arked that further time be given them. The committee, knowing that the present capital of the company vra- entirely in sufficient to carry on its enormous business, recom mended that the directors be authorized and requested to immeolately apply to the Legislature now in ses sion, for SD independent cheater under the name of the "'Whipple File and meet CoMparay." with a capital of not less than 52,00,000: also that they be allowed to Petition f. r X 3,000,000 capital, should they deem it ne cessery.r Afte making the repOrt,lfx.Cartwright moved that the committee be allowed further time to prepare their report. The motion was unanimously carried. Mr. Cartwright next moved that the di rectors be requested to apply for an independent charter. accorffir g to the recommendation of the com mittee. This motion was also carried unanimously. The president, when the above business had been transacted, cal led. upon Mr. Harvey Waters of North bridge—who, he said, was an experienced and somas ful machinist, ;and. in the late war Jutd roiled at least three hundred thoesand bayonets f-r the government —te give bis views to the stockholders relative to the mechanical condi• ion of the company. Mr. Waters gave a report of the machines and their capacity. When he first became acquainted with the companysome two years ago, the general character of its files. he did not hesitate to say, was bad. hint* men however. great, very great improvements have been mate. and now he thought the machinery was in better condition to manufacture files than any other concern in the country. In his opinion, with what machinery the company now bad they could go on and make money taster than any similar estandsh -ment In the Drifted Elates. These, was some of the machinery which be considered valueless, that should be tt rown aside, but generally, as he before staled, the machinery was win:drably adapted r the work. Mr. Gillespie, one of the stockholders, asked Waters for his opinion concerning the management of the wo: ks vi bether or not the business had been con ducted economically. Mr. Waters replied that be did not pretend to know anything concerning the financial affairs of the com pany. He would say, however. that in his opinion the stockholders appid get no better men to conduct their business thine their present President. He thought that much good and profit would arise from the appointment of some good mechanical mind at the head of the works at Ballardvale, whose duty it should be to personally oversee the manufacture of files and of steel. The presiaent was a good practical man, but he did not know some things about machinery that others knew. What was wanted wasa first class ma chinist who she u'd be under him and between him and the work. Wnere such a mechanical mind could be found, the speaker did not know, but such a mind sheu d be found and put in that position. Mr. Pierce, the President of the Company, then made some general remarks concerning the manufac ory. The cause of the trouble was that the company had endeavored to carry on a business requiring a capital or millions of dollars with a few thousands; tor this reason their operations had been checked. Though the affairs of the company werejust now mailer a cloud - he himself rid not entertain any gloomy thoughts for the future, but on the contrary was confident that prosperity was still in store for thestockholders,stionld ney continue the business.. , When he took bold of me business at Ballardvale be found that he could not go to work and make files and make money the ma shiner. as d the material then at handlron bad to 'be used for steti, and second-rate steel 'for first-class steel. If saw at once that the company should manu facture their own steel. New machines were invented and put into the manufactory. He went into the works a common workman, with his apron on, and set shim perfecting and arranging Ow machinery. Now the machinery was so perfect that it could turn out fifteen tons of steel a day, and manufacture daily one thou sand dozen of files. He knew of no other manufactory , in the country that could tarn more than thirty dozen files per day. The Englishman had been the great manufacturer of files for years. The English had had possession of abroadket for years. Now,the impression baying gone that tea Whipple Company had failed. or course the announcement was received with the greatest satisfaction by those interested in foreign trade. Though willing to admit that the affairs or the poration were somewhat tangled, he had great hopes of final success. An enormous sum had been consumed in equ'pping the works: and now they were nearly perfected,that expense would be lessened. The President called upon Mr. FeSaenden, snperin tendent of the works, to make some remarks upon the, question of the mill's machinery. Mr. Fessenden responded and corroborated, generally, the statements which had been made relative to the value tattle ma chinery for makieg files. After' further remarks by Messrs. Gillespie, Cart wright - and others, the meeting tufjourned for one month,with thenndeistar ding that if the investigating committee was ready to report before that time a spe cial meeting Shall becalled. We learn that a meeting of the creditors Is to be called immediately to select a committee to confer with the investigating committee. TUE STORM IN INDIANA. Bridge Blown Down— A Train Falls Through—Engin - ter and Fireman In• jured—Eseape et the Passtaigera , • • • [From the Cincinnati Gazette of Thuriday.l We received the following particulars last evening of a serious railroad accident which occurred near Con nersville yesterday morning, on the Cincinnati and Indianapblis Junction Ralroad, which resulted in the entire destruction of the down passenger train. Oar Informant states that the storm of Tuesday night was very severe about liginnersville, blowing down several houses and barns. and destroying trees and fences. The wind also blew down ene of the stone piers of the long bridge just east of Connersville, over White water river, and otherwise weakened the structure. The condition of the bridge, it seems, was not known, no notice being given to the train from Indianapolis, rndue at Connersville at early hour yesterday morn ing, that there was an anger, and the train left Con- • nersville on time. The headlight on th ocootive. It appears. was out of order. and the env r could not see toe .condition of the bridge, and ran on, when the locomotive wefit through, turning a someraet. and the oaggage car and two passenger cars were thrown on top and com pletely demolished. The engineer and brakeman,we learn,were severely injured, and some of the passengers somewhat bruised, but none dangerously. Trains will run as usual, and until the bridge is repaired passengera andbaggage will be transferred at the break COLLEGE CONMER, IND., March 81.—To the Editors of the Cincinnati Gazette.- A fearful tornado at Con nersville last night blew down and unroofed several houses, and carried away the east span of the railroad bridge across the river east of the town. A freight en gine and four cars, bound east, went down, leaving the balance of the train on the bridge. The engineer and fireman were badly injured, the. latter, it is feared, fatally. . The bridge will speedily be replaced. It. was one of the best in the State. In the meantime trains will make connection by easy transfer.- J. M. RIDENOUR, Supt. General Grant going to Europe. Lieut.

Fenianism Among the Provinoial Volunteels. Shots Fired from the American Side at Niagara, &c. TORONTO. March 2S-1,30 P. M.—The excitement has quieted down here, though no relaxation is apparent in the preparations for defence. - Theta was almost a panic in Montreal th at night over the report that nineteen thousand Fontana • were rtoving on Isle AUX Both. A volunteer from Brockville has been sent to Mon treal for admitting himself a Fenian. According to Michael Murphy. the supposed Cana dian Read Centre, eighty five tnousand dollars of Fe nian,bonds have been taken up in Canada. . Though a week hew now passed since the alarm was sounded, and nothing has transpired to Justify it, the citizens of Oi taws are still so nervous that night pa trols and countersigns_ are still in force. The lef wing of the Canadian army on the St. Lawrence bor , der still exhibits great activity, and fresh troops are 1 constantly arriving. Themilitary authorities threaten ;that if the Fenian attempt to cross at Ogdensburg. they will flre on that city with the guns of Fort Wei !Wigton, at Prescott, opposite. Is. early a million feet of contract timber is awaiting shipment at Ottawa, for the States. Pitiocarr, C. W., March 21,1866.—Ttie failure of any demonstration as yet upon the border has allayed, to great extent, the apprehension which was felt regard ing the movements of the dreaded Fenian. 'On this opposition line this assurance thr e at en assisted by the manifested to the ened invasion by the citizens of Ogdensburg, with whom the Canadians have been on Lerma of the greatest and moat friendly intimacy. In no United States border town or city Is this feeling of amnity towards the Canadians evinced as strongly as at Ogdensburg, and It is to be doubted if it exists at all in any other. Ogdensburg has ever received the patronage lof Prescott and the neighboring Canadian country in business; the people on both sides of the river have inkruttuTied,and there is generally a community of Interests which has not failed in this crisis ,e direct a great deal of sympathy to the Canadians. There are nbt wanting those, of course, who regard thethreatened invasion with favor; but here, unlike on the borders of Vermont and the eastern part of northern New York, there is wanting that animosity which the St.-Albans raid created. The martial aspect of affairs here in Prescott Is one Of the featuree which immediately strike the traveler on arrival.. Soldiers are to be met with at every step; sentries are stationed at various points In the town:the patrol and relief ma be beard their ronads er few hours, and the bug le sounds on the reveille and tai too with a familiarity which recalls stirring scenes, to many an Amencan ear. The tort near the town—Fort Wellington—ls gaze, oned by a section ofartillery from Ottawa, and Windmill Point, the scene of the filibus tering expedition tff 1838,13 guarded by detachments of infantry. There are some nine companies, is all, stationed in the vicinity—all volunteers. 10 guard against any surreptitious approach of the Pentane, an order has been adopted prombiting the ar rival of any boat from the American shore between an hour after sunset and daylight. During the dkvtime every small boat must come to at the Custom House wharf and undergo inspection. During the night there is a chain of sentries with loaded muskets 'extended slob g the bank of the river as a precaution against the infringement ()film order ju.st mentioned. - The apprehension is confined more particularly to the humbler classes. The wealthier and more solid citizens regard the talk of an invasion with more in difft rence. When any cause of alarm is given, how ever, as on Friday evening last, their fears get the better of their reason for the time being, and they are as timid as the former class. It is a pretty well served fact in this vicinity, and the assurance thereof comes from prominent United States citizens in Ogdensburg, that there will be no movement of the Fenian to this country, permitted by the United States Government, Fears only are telt for a suditen crossing not anticipated by the govern ment. and agaitat which its previous secrecy has pre eluded preparation. Those who reason over the' ob jects of tl s. movement know that lithe could be gained by the advent of the Pentane In this section, and the result of this impression has removed much of the puptilar apprehension and substituted therefor a feeling of uneasiness Ihr the safety* of the Ea* stern provinces. - . =Mainz -or . the St Lawrence - in the face of the oppoaltion of the Canadian volunteers and perhaps of the United States authorities on the American shore would be a serious matter. Besides, once here the Pentane would obtain nothing of very great assistance to their remote object, the liberation of trelatte. In New Brunswick, however, and in Nom &Nate, whose contiguity to the ocean and whose shipyards would render them a value!) e point d'appuf for operations on behalf of the, Green Isle, the - FenUtns would find material aid; whiles. la march to those sections would be overland, with out the obstacle of a broad and well defended river. Hence the feeling is that the Fentans really intend going In that direction while menacing this portion of the frontier. Publicity bas been given to the report that there was a seeming determination of the United States to en force the neutrality laws, shown in the presence of a revenue cutter in theaiver here. The vessel _referred to is the Salmon P. Chase, which has been.patroLUng this portion of the St. Lawrence +since November last on the lookout to prevent src It should not hem:Termed that the active re ensures taken for defence and the unanimous sentiment of the people here taken upon the: subject of invasion are an indication of universal opposition to Fenian's= throughout Canada West. *While all are harmonious on the question of resisting flillbusters, Pentane or not. the Irish heart is as warm here as elsewhere for the cause of the old country. • The Canadian rich are sympathizers and in many cases abettors of the direct Fenian movement for Irish , independence. [From the St. Cathartne's Journal, March On raturday last several - shots were fired hum "old Niagara" across the river. A !Omit) ball entered Fort Niagara, and another the light-house. The oneenter log the fort passed close to a „sentry, and the one which enterer the lighthouse came very dose to the wife of the keeper. The commandant of Fort Niagara, Major A. B. esiin,sent a remonstrance to Major Pol lard, and that gentleman instituted Inquiries to dis cover the perpetrators of the outrage. The Bring was finally traced to two individuals living on the dock. Martin Morrison and Daniel McMullin, who were tined by the Major for the offence. Tee only excuse these worthies offered was that they mistook Fort Niagara tor a cock, and therefore poured In their broadsides. This Is not the first time the Niagara peo ple havebeen called upon to suppress elm ear outrages. [From the Montreal Gazette, March 2 . 1 l We took occasion on Monday last to warn erar readers not to relax in their preparations for the approach of trouble, hecause the any ostentatiously announced as that on which an attack was to be made had passed by without any Invasion or battle. The danger lass. suredly not past; and exertions should rather be doable than relaxed. It Is not when we are known to be ex pecting and prepared for attack that it is likely to be made.

An . enterprise so long prepared, so 1, rously advocated by Its leaders; do much enco by men of influence in the United States will not be abandoned without some blow struck by some desperate hand, without some damage, done or plunder carried off, even fishy larger or worthier object Is found =attain able. The File Trade in England. The following extract from the !Sheffield and Itoth, r erham independent, of March Bd, will be found to pos sess come interest, in view of the attention which has been called to thelite business in this corintry in the peat few days:— "Our earnest advice that masters and men should meet in a reasonable and friendly spirit to discuss the questions at Issue between them, was not adopted in time to arrest a cessation of work, and for tae first time for many years, business has been suspended this week in one of our most important trades.. Happily, however, we see symptoms that the spirit Of peace is Preferred to that of war, On Thundayi the manufac turers and file cutters had a conference, in which the question of the advance of wages demanded was dis cussed in a friendly and intelligent manner by both parties. . A similar conference with the grinders is also alunit to be held. We do- not venture to predict what may be the result, but we hope ter the best. it would be impertinent in us to tell the manufacturers what wages the trade will permit them to gtve; and equally impertinentto tell the men what they ought to receive. We may, however, venture to say that it would be most imprudent to assume that the unusual demand for goods which has of late given so much ac tivity to trade can be relied upon as permanent rho file trade has become mach less exclusively a local trade than formerly. hianufactories have sprung, up In many other parts of the country. Excellent files are produced abroad. 'rbe readiness which the Arne rlcan i shew in applying machinery to arta of produo bon upon this trade. The discussions which took place in October last ehowed that our mannfec hirers had felt the necessity of meeting machinery by machinery most seriously pressing upon their atten tion, and now we have in the •prospectus , of albs File Grinding CompanY, supported by our most important manufacturers, anoth e r sig nificant Met Pointing in ' the same dlreo lion. -Probably few people caricit their eyes to the fact that a revolution In the-file trade is hnpensling. It is pseless to deprecate such changes, but it is wise to adapt ourselves to them, and meet them in the way most ealculated to render them easy to the p eo ple they must affect. If masters and men frankly co operate, we . have reason to hope that an immense impetus may be given to the prosperity of the town: 'like whole history of machinery proves. that white it creates at Brat some displacement of hands, it im mesmely increases the demand for . labor and the means of rewarding it. No trade that has ever gone through the transition haa had reason to wish that the old state of things could be restored. Before mace Leery changed our textile trades they Were mere - trifles; and - must ever have remained such, compared with what they have since become. The old bhemeld t ra d es have been more backward than . the textile trades- to use machinery, and the result is that they have made comparatively little progress. If Sheffield were .now no more than the trades in existence thirty years ago • 01Iit "MISIOjE COUNTRY, would have made it, what a different position it would have been in. The file trade consist , of a very. rupe rior body of men. They have long enjoyed a com paratively easyposition. but they cannot be unaware of the changes that have taken place around them which nfathirellyr the trad necessity eag lft iw hey could bring them selves to order that our trade may most lve s bear t o nest l the march et civilization and especially y th e e xp ad ar o d pi w o h n u o e f the extension of railways is Extending the use of files, there can be no doubt Sheffield would secure a much large pert of the trade of the world than is possible nitwit thus reinforcing our uroductiva power.

The Spanish ships stood in close to shore In order to feel the depth of wa ter, when they were opened upon by a very heavy battery on shore, armed principally with guns recov ered from the lost frigate .Amazonas, and one of them was hulled seventeen times,whiletJaeother.the Blanes, received one heavy shot below the water line, which had to be plugged. The two frigates steamed as close in as they dare and opened fire, although at long range, on the Peruvian and Chileanships: but after 2 hours' work and expending about seven hundred shot and shell. they hauled off, finding that the shore batteries must be Brat silenced or crippled before they would be able to get inside at the ships there anchored. They waited oft the port until the next daye hoping that the allied squadron might be induced to come out, but aa they did not, the two titian lab ships returned to Valparaiso. It is reportedlthat the NIMMICiIi was to leave at once for the: spot, In order to run the batteries, and finish the work commenced, Our correspondent at Panama gives sorne.detalls of the engagement, embracing both Spanish and Clilleaujversions, but for fall particulars we must wait patiently until the next arrival. There Is ntrcioubt that It was quite a brisk engaement haa joined the alliance, offensive arm defen sive, against spank, thus closi, g completely every door against the Spaniard along the entire west coast of Souris America, and leaving no point between Cape Horn and the Equator where he baa other than eaem tea. From Peru there is nothing bat the stereotyped ex pressions that abe I using the utmost exertionsto be :Cady for active war, and that Gen, Pre4ois governing the country firmly and skilfully, and.inspirmg confi dence more and more every day. From Panama, or the Interior of the republic, there IS not much of interest, excepting that portion of Pres. message to Congress relating to existing re• tattoos with the United States. San Salvador has ratified the treaty with Spain, A Panama correspcndent writes as follows, ander date of March IY.• The papers of Peru contain nothing but exultation over the late fight at Ancud,which they consider asig ns I detest of the Spanish vessels. St Nations/ con siders that the Villa de Madrid and Blanca are used up and dos e for, and says that in all probability the allied fleet will soon attack the remainder of the Spanish • fleet and use then up also. it thinks that the Villa de liadrid is seriously damaged in her machirtery,becanse one other engines goes to Europe by this math Severel persona item/inns state that the Peruvians have the moat insane ideas regarding the United Stamm squadron now on its way to the Pacidc, and do not hesitate to say that the Monadnock will certainly be turned over to the Peruvian navy in a way that will not violate neutrality, which way is ifilows.: On arrival she is to be surveyed and con de mned. hull, machinery, boilers, armament and all, ant be sold at public auction, when of course the Peruvian govern ment will buy her. This 15 something new, certainly about on a par with the idea of the Chileans when the St. .151arra arrived in Valparaiso last: they thought that as soon as her anchor was down, sails flirted and the men down from aloft, the drum would beat to quar ters and she would 1IIIX111(11stely open tire upon the Spanish fleet there assembled, and they were sadly disappointed when it was discovered that she was only a me-senger of Peace- From a gentleman who arrived by the last steamer, and who is thoroughly posted in such matters, I have some interesting intormatien respecting thellew arma ment of thefts's-Statham at Callao. He Joys there are eight new guns in alljout Blakely audit= Armstrong, or We heaviest pattern now tuannfactured. They are well mounted and will prsive terrible weapons agates the Spanish fleet it owy properly served. The latter point is the great trouble. These heavy ruled_ guns. In We hands or menhaving but little experience in work ing smooth-bore artillery even,may,and probably will, move more dangerous to three that man them than to those they are pointed, at. They look very well as tney Low are nut It remains to be seen if they play the pan expected of them, it allowed to be worked by other per suns than those familLar with then use. However,- one projectile from one of these monsters penetrating the aide ore frigate about the water line and exploding within the hint especia ll y in the ftion of boilers and machinery, might and probably would disable the ship; but such a shot would be one in a thousand. Torpedoes and torpedo boobs are being constructed, with rapidity. under the superintenden. of Ameri cans. ',hey are to been thalami of the one used by Lieut. Commander Clashing, to deatroy the Albemarle. It is reported that eight of them will be reed .during the month of litarch. BOLI VIA. It is sufficient to say that the revolution In Bolivia being over, that repuolic at once , joined the alliance against Spain, thus closing the only port, tlobija, that • remained open to the Spaniard. some time ago 1 gave sou an account of the at tempted capture. in the port of Coquimbo, of the bark Salvador Vane; whichwas discharging coal and store, into the Soaniati frigate then blockading that port, and- which attack felled through the ignorance of the officer commanding the attacking party. After she was discharged she proceeded L. Cont.'s, then a - neutral port but on the night of January 24, eight Mentz, enthusiastic in their cause, yet forgetting the neutrality of the port, arranged an expert Won against the vessel whim was successful They boarded her under cover of t darkness. and getting possession, they got underweigh after a fashion, none or the party being seamen, and stood to sea.' Callao was reachau In time, and Immediately on arrival the Italian Minister °emended t he release of the vessel and return to her owners on the ground that sae was n neutral vessel, captured in neutral waters. , l'he demand was complied with, but the same alga she was de stroy ed e to the harbor of Callao and I cdoe s not requirelanch guessing to determine if it was the act of anincendiary,or _ not. • COLOMBIA. A resolution was offered in Congress to Join the re publics of South America by declaring war against rpain, which was killed on the spot. War to Colom bia with spalp, with an extensive Atlantic sea coast on which is the port from which all her revenue is de rived, would, in the opinion of Congress, be suicidal in the extreme. Peace and quiet reign supreme throughout the inte rior. Not even a rumor of revolution can be heard from any direction. The following extract from the message of President Mufille, on the relations existing with the United buttes, will be found interesting and important: Although the crime committed on the 14th of April, 1865,1 n Washlngton,snatched away from us the virtuous Abraham Lincoln—a good friend and benevolent to wards our people—the American government has con tinued to treat us with great deference and sympathy. The guarantee of sovereignty and neutrality which they promised us in the treaty of 1848 in exchange for the liberty to pass troops across the Isthmus, has, in deed, offered great ditticulties, because not the agents of that government In the ports of the isthmus and on the Isthmus itself, possess that intejligence and moralif y which the use of this concession implies. grave faults have been committed by a soldier anti the commander of a war vessel. anti also by military on their ironed over the isthmus, for w a have not the leastdoubt of it, the American gov nment will give us L.ll satisfaction, adopting for the tura each precautions as will leadto avoid their repeat on. This treaty, which contains' the guaran of neu trality and ownership of the isthmus, and the conces sion of tree transit in levet of the American govern mentonust expire in the year 1888, If one of the partiei should notify the other of It twelve months before the stipulated time. It would be expedient that yon dis cuss already now the question, if it is convenient, not to let this guarantee continue, together with the con sequences which it may have at some time far or less remote. • The Gold Mines of Bezbacoas. I had onlyitlmegiefore the sailing of thelast steamer to give an outline of the reports from the gold mines o Barbacoss, in the Cauca, brought by the Talcs. Since then, by listening and weighing carefully all thatl have heard, I can Lind no reason to change my mind as ito the great wealth of El Dorado of the (Isom Bich as the mines are now reported to be there sis no eatintat ing,what they will prove to be when v:orked by the kind of men and machinery now on the way there.
