It  is known to be not contagious, as tho ordinary eastern plague.   I do riot .believe it is infectious, but each individual has to be placed  in the same circumstances in a similar state  of health.   Look at the" case of theAtrato,  passenger steamship, arriving in- the port ef  London, if I remember right, with three cases  of yellow fever on board. The most barbaric  treatment (no other word is strong enough,)  was experienced by ,all on board, through  fibeer ignorance, and fear of the authorities.  It was clearly not infectious, for three cases  there were, and three cases there remained ;  there had been deaths on the voyage, but all  were incipient at starting.   However, in view  of the reported approaching arrival of H.M.S.  Scout, with several cases of fever on board,  the matter becomes interesting.  MUNICIPAL DtPROVEMENTS.  /We have now a corporation that quietly  jogs along and effects improvements, whieh,I  mention.   Though it would hardly be  will  fair to leave quite in the shade that thing of  beauty, or if not, that laudable institution and  handmaid of the government, tbe chain-gang;  to the chain-gang then, I. say,, (before singing  the praises of the corporation) and the power  that Erects it,are we indebted for a new road  Rearing off south, at an angle from James  *>ay bridge, and leading into what I believe is  Superior street, a new planked road, or so  aew that It may be considered: so, passing ex-  governor Douglas? garden and tbe bay, passing to the little second bridge east, has been  P^M? superior order.   Let me add sundry  box drains or channels in the streets, and a  heap 0f macadami&ing.   Well, the corporationi (now for its turn) has at last feebly felt  jtseif on its feet, since the close of the Legislative Council, where the worthy Mayor had  business as magistrate.   Since the sitting of  ��������� council, the city has galvanised itself into  , ������������, by levying a municipal rate on rents,  amounting to three per cent   It need hardly  be said that no one begrudges, for an instant,  paying anything of this sort, where the expenditure and improvement to the city are  both visible.    Sundry small contracts have.  been let for forming culverts and drains ; for  restoring- to a state of health  and purity,  ������road and Douglas, streets ; and now tbey  attack the Johnson street ravine.  The thistles  ���������ich infested the city limits, have been cut  :s0W.Dat a slight expenditure; sturdy Caledonians of the most erect mem and the purest  mood !   We only, want lot owners to be fined  next year for producing them ; we want a  n������ayy tax on dogs ; and a few yards of hemp  wrm cum   W@ onlj want a re  civic revenue, to have decent improvements  effected. Never fear, corporation, do the  workj the money will not be begrudged. :  :^F6ra new: thing, the post office has at last  been.removed to the centre of vitality���������that  government reserve on Government street :  and close at hand, where erst beamed the  countenances : of Selim Franklin & Co^, auctioneers,, there may be seen tbe handsome���������  to a very restricted circle of admirers--coun-  J??a?.?.?.9.f; ?fc Hamley, the.custom housecbl-  lector ; not quite so conveniently placed for  the shipping business, I should judge.

On; Friday lasV the three fire companies  turned put, to .the number of nearly one hun.  dred,YwaterilTuck, hose, cart, and engine, etc.y  etc., and were minutely inspected by Governor ; Seymour, in front of the; government  buildings.; The procession was headed by the  ���������YolUnte'cr Rifle band, y The national anthem j  ���������a?K'ft$^Wsplayed on^ arrival aind^depar-  toe/before a numerous, and.to all appearf  ance, an : unsympathetic .crowds ��������� many of  ^hom,;even Ebglishmeri, had not the decency  to^upepyer.

He proved a false prophet^  however. ; The;; governor, was   evidently  amused   at   the remark   (he was   by .no  means solitary, iff' that respect) and*turned  round and was seen to wink to Mr. ColoniSl  Secretary. Young.   But. a speech' he did not  make.   As Burnes retired, His Exdellcncy F.  Seymour,  advanced rather gracefully, certainly, but with too much of the dancing  master in his gait, to please fastidious eyes :  haying got within earshot of the "chief," he  pitched him a whisper, modulated so as not  to be heard five yards from him, at about  which,.distance deponent stood.   He might  have given his word for a promissory note, or  asked Mr. Burnes to a private supper.   Mr.  Young then made a few appropriate remarks,  but all this fell miserably short of the effect  produced by the few manly and strongly  marked sentence* of a military figure and silvery head, whom we shall all see no more !  and whp,; whether  atf Government  House  steps, hotel balconies, or on the inspection  ground of the rifles at Beacon Hill, always  was. master of the position ; and with all was  "decidedly right," or "wrong rather than  undecidedly right."

That unsuccessful litigants are inclined  #p grumble, we are all perfectly aware : but  ���������:iaay 'attempts at resistance to the; 1 aw, will be  at once put down as a necessary measure for  the gobd of the who 1 e commuhity.  'Both parties tp the Grouse Creek difficulty have exr.  pressed themselves ready to abide by any decision rendered after a full examination of  tbeir different. witnesses, and the proper ventilation of legal questions surrounding the  matters in dispute.   When that is done, and  the verdict given, the disputants must act in  accordance  with   tbe   award. ��������� The   consequences are most serious to the entire eom-  munity, in tho loss of time and money to all  concerned, to admit, for a moment, of any  vexatious litigation.   It is not merely the immediate litigants who suffer, but the community at large.   We are, however, firmly convinced that the good practical common sense  of our citizens will prevent-any future ill-  feeling being engendered on the subject. Our  Reasons are too short to bo frittered away in  senseless discussion ; time, in a mining country, is money, and it is for the interest of  every one that it should, be  turned to tbe  most profitable account.   Speeches and newspaper discussions may be very good where  time is no object.   Such amusements are perfectly legitimate in  large towns, where audiences aud readers -can bo-found amongst  those who have plenty of leisure ; but in a  mining camp they are quite out of place, and  should be discountenanced by all interested  jh the welfare of any   mining   population  where thoy are attempted.   It is very fortunate for us that we have a Chief Justice of  Mr. Needham's  capacity at our disposal, for  had the questions at issue to be tried by any J  of the officers of the crown, who were previously engaged in the affair, some shadow of  prejudice might be supposed to exist. Such,  however, can in no way be imagined of Mr.  Justice Needham, who comes to,us with a  perfect knowledge of the law, but otherwise  a perfect stranger to our grievances. The  present will be a most excellent opportunity  for testing tbe fitness of the several clauses in  the recent gold fields Act that beafoo the  matters in dispute ; and if any glaring inconsistency can be detected, in the working of  the law. as it now stands, it should bo at  once noted, and the; necessary alterations  brought under the notice of government, for  adjustment at the next session of the Legislative Council. We have heretofore,been too  much in the hands of those who pretended to  watch our interests, in these respects, in the  legislature. Let us now judge arid act for  ourselves; we shall be all the better served.  MINING INTELLIGENCE.  musquito gclch.   ; .���������;.

If the*' arguments and deductions  of^our worthy contemporary were consistent!  with * facts, we would willingly, forgive him  his patriotic outbursts about maintaining the  majesty of the law, the suppression of mobs,  and soforth ; but when we find that he accepts -such garbled statements'ianvl^andny-  mous communications as we notice in his  = -columnsy-fronirtkcse who' olaks^-toTbe-tbe'ex--  ponents of public; opinion he re,.we. cannot  give him the credit of dealing fairly or justly  by us. We are not disposed to enter into the  discussion of this subject until the investigation of the.case, so successfully begun by  Chief Justice Needham, has,.b������en finished;  but we may be allowed to remark that our  worthy contemporary will' live"to regret the  course he: has taken in this unfortunate affair.

SUPREME COURT.  The Supreme Court was formally opened at  Richfield, on Monday last, the 16th instant, at  two o'clock, P. M., by bis honor Chief Justice  Needham, who, accompanied '.of his son,  Lieut. Needham, R. N., Hon. C. Brew, and  Mr. C. E. Pooley, registrar, took his seat for  the first time on the bench of the mainland.  After the various commissions were read, his  honor enquired of the registrar whether there  were not some cases of appeal that had been  dismissed without beipg heard,'either on their  merits or on points of lawv ���������  Mr. Pooley answered that there was, and  then read over the following cases, vizi, Can'  adian Co, Vs. Grouse Creek Bed Rock Flume  Co;; Synon vsV Williams Creek Bed Rock  Flume Co. ; Grouse Creek Bed Rock Flume  Co. vs. Black Hawk Co..; Grouse Co. vs. Canadian,Co., and a fifth base, which had been  settled out of court  His honor then enquired if there were any  of the gentlemen of the bar present, who had  conducted these cases. ���������".   .  Mr. Walker said ttiat he had acted as  counsel for the Grouse Creek-Flume co., in  the case between that company and the Canadian co., but as tho case had been settled by  the dismissal of the appeal, he did not consider himself now acting in that capacity.  Mr. Barnston appeared for the Canadian co.,  and stated that Judge .

[���������,:..  His honor said���������-My object in calling yon  together, to-day, so soon after my arrival here  is to intimate to you what course the court-is  prepared to^take in the adjudicating of these  several cases. It has been publicly stated  that these cases have created great disebu-  tent The court is now therefore prepared to  suspend the rules of its ordinary procedure,  and &How them to be reheard. I am here for  that purpose. The mining laws, which! have  looked-intCfyer.y-'minittelyi.do not forbid this.  The four cases referredA. to seem to? me" toj be  cases that ought to'have been heard on theti  bring into court all the gold taken out by  tbem between 1st May and 30th June, 1867.  The money so brought into court to abide tho  decision of this'court in any proceedings in  which the title to the ground in respect, of  which the gold was taken out -is determined.  Provided, always, without prejudice to any  right of appeal which may exist or may be  given to either party, without prejudice, also  to the right of either party to contend for, the  finality of the pold Commissioner's judgement either ou pointB of fact or oh points of  law or both. This agreement was. subsequently altered so as to include all the gold  taken out by both parties during the time  that;each worked the ground without refer-  ance to dates.; The amount of gold, thus deposited by the parties to be subject to cbal-  lange by cither of them ih chambers. It was  agreed that each "of those - amounts should be  deposited by the respective-parties on Wednesday morning.   . . ��������� :   . yA  With regard to the bther p ortion of the  ground now being worked by the Sparrow,  hawk Co,, his honor recommended Mr. Booth-  .Application has - beea made to the Gold  Commissioner by a company for leave to  construct a- drain,- commencing at a point  near the Australian claim, on this creek, and  running jip to the: Foster Campbell claim  which it Is intended to drain. We hear that  the Miners' Drain Co., believing their charter  rights about to be invaded by granting such  a privilege, have very properly entered a  caveat thereto. We think it would be very  unfair, not to say unjust, to deprive the Drain  Co. of tbeir rights by allowing the construction of such a work by another, especially  when it is considered that tho object the applicants 'desire to eifect is tho same as that  which the Drain Co. have spent over $60,000  within the last two years in trying to accomplish.  Treasure ExPORT.���������There was sent below  yesterday by express, .in the charge of Mr.  Lawson, messenger .of the Bank of British  North America, and Mr. Ormandy, Barnard's  Express messenger, $196,000 in gold dust, of  which amount the Bank of British North America sent $132,000, as tho result of their purchases .since 31st July, and the Bank of; British Columbia $63,000, the amount purchased  by them during the last three weeks. Besides  this there could riot have been less than  $6,000 to $7,000 in private hands, thus footing up a total of over $200,000, a very respectable sum considering these hard times.  .

Every court is incidental to the rules of its  own procedure, and has the^power to suspend these: rules, if any technicality arises  that might tend to defeat the ends of justice.  I will, in this instance, suspend the rules of  court, and allow the case3 to be tried on their  merits. Sufficient time will be allowed to  counsel to get up their cases. With regard  to notices, I will alter the rules so as to allow  any notice that will be compatible with justice, to be given by all parties. My desire is  to aid in the speedy adjustment of.the difficul-  .ties^and it would be very desirable that all  parties should show a like reciprocal feeling  And now one word more; the indulgence  which I am prepared to give you is this : I  will allow you to prove anything, and to  raise any point of law you "please. I will  allow you all an opportunity to get justice, if  you want it.  With the consent of counsel, the court fixed  to-morrow, at two o'clock, for a further bearing, as sufficient time would thus be given to  communicate with ail parties.  Tuesday, 17th Sept., 1867.  At the hour appointed the court again sat.

Along argument hero ensued, respecting  the mode . of procedure, when it was finally  agreed that the cases should be brought into  court in the form of writs of ejectment, by  which process the legal and equitable rights  of parties would be equally as well protected  a3 if the cases were entered in the usual form  of appeal. It was also agreed to, at the conclusion of a prolonged discussion, that tbe  gold taken out of the disputed strip of ground  by both parties, should be deposited in the  hands of the officer of court, to await a final  decision, and tho following memorandum to  that efiect was accordingly signed by counsel :  . Mr. Park, on behalf of the Can ad tali Co.,  offers to bring into court all the gold taken  the foreman of the company, who was in  court* to cease work thereon until after the  whole matter had been thoroughly investigated, and that whatever money had been  taken out by that, company .should in the  meantime also be lodged in court To this  Mr. 13 o o th agreed .'*���������.������'. ;���������" ��������� ��������� ���������"���������'���������:, -"'. - ������������������'���������.'/     -:.  ���������-' Judge���������What I propose/ to do is first to  he^<rtt^he*frxcl$-''cm ^th''sfdF^"aTid-i;hen' far  order a viewer to be appointed by each party  with whom I shall .personally inspect the  grounded by this meansbe better able to  comprehend the matter...
