Mr.Marchildon would go for the three first resolutions, but as to the Judges, they were paid well enough.They had not half such hard work as the lawyers.The lawyers had to study the books, examine their clients and witnesses, and all that, while judges had only to hear them and decide.Mr.Attorney General Drummond said the cases of the officers of the Courts of Law would bo taken up separately hereafter.Mr.Mackenzie spoke at great length against the Government proposal.He would not object to increase the salaries of really efficient men, if he were given an opportunity to find them out, but the House and public departments were filled with useless drones, rubbish and lumber, and he would not leave it to the discretion of ministers to reward their favorites among them .with an increase, and neglect others, perhaps more meritorious men.The system of putting salaries down one year and up another, was an Abiurdr cms.-Being called to order in parts of his speech by Mr.Powell' add Mr.Felton, for wandering from the subject under debate, he retorted very sharply on those gentleme:.Hon.Mr.Spence said, the mem be- \u2022*'¦\u2022 ' \"aldi-mand believed he bad taken the p-itala.Ç e of the question, and could make political capital out of it.No doubt the votes to-night would appear in the Message in double-leaded Pica : but he believed be was mistaken, for neither in his constituency, nor in any other, did he (Mr.S.) believe the opposition to this moderate increase of salaries would gain the approbation of the people.The hon.member had professed an ardent desire, and had introduced several bills, to protect the tools of artizans from seizure.Now these men were prosperous, and required no such protection, but those officials and others dependent on fixed salaries claimed his sympathies, but he had none for them.Fuel was thriee what it had been, rents had advanced more than 30 per cent.Wheat now cost 8s lOd which eighteen months ago could have been bought for 3s 9d.The government scheme was not one to increase the remuneration of public servants, but to enable them to live, and he felt that the great body of the people, the yeomanry of the country whose farms were in many places doubled in value, whose products brought twice as much as formerly, would not object to see the salaries of officials somewhat increased to meet the exigencies of the times.It was not fair in the member for Haidi-mand to attempt to lay all the blame on the bon.and gallant knight at the head of the government.The other members shared his responsibility, and he (Mr.S ) was quite ready to take his full share of it.What was the effect of the inadequate salaries now received ?Why a short time ago one of the best and most efficient men in the Post Office department had left it and gone into a mercantile house where a higher salary was given him.And this must be the effect of this false economy.The really efficient men would leave the public departments and get better pay elsewhere, and the public business would of necessity fall into the hands of drones and rubbish, to use the hen.member\u2019s phrase.But it was unfair on the part of that hon.member to bring such general charges.He would assure the hon.member if there were such useless lumber in the departments he would lend his hand to rid the public service of them, but they should not punish the effective men for their sins.Another instance of hardship he might mention, known to his colleagues in the government, was that of an officer filling an important situation parting with his private property in order to get means to live decently while laboring for the public.He hoped the house would give ministers the necessary means to put an end to such things.Hon.Mr.Robinson supported the Government proposition, but he hoped ministers would exercise a wise discretion in the distribution of the increase and not take it for granted that every man in office was effective, and therefore deserved it.Mr.Lemieux spoke at some length in favor of an increase of the salaries of Circuit Judges and other officers of courts.Mr.Dewitt did not doubt that an increase was necessary in many cases, but it should he made on some fixed basis, and accompanied by a systematic organization of the departments.He desired to get the best men and to pay them well.He had no doubt the' increased cost of living rendered larger salaries necessary ; thè exorbitant expenees in Quebec were, in good part, the result of the saddle-bag system o( Government, which he hoped to see abolished after the recess.' Mr, Felton replied to Mr.Mackenzie at some length and supported the Government resolutions.Mr.Hartman did not doubt an increase was necessary, but he could not consent to vote it without knowing to whom and for what services.He could not vote it blindly, as the government asked the Hocse to do.He believed the étaff of officials were too large in many departments ; for instance, he understood that in the Crown Lands and Public Works departments, they had a certain number of Lower Canadian clerks and the same number of Upper Canadians, the number of each section being kept equal whether there was worker not.Hon.Mr.Chabot said that was not the case in his department,\t< r° Mr.Patrick would be glad to support ministers on this as on other occasions if he could conscientiously, but he did not agree with* the proposed scale of increase, and thought such an important matter should not be taken up in so thin a House.He believed it should lie over until after the recess without detriment to the public ser-* vice.Mr.Powell replied to Mr.Mackenzie's attack, and commented severely on his style of argument.He defended the Government measure at some length.The officers of Government were worse paid than those of Banking institutions and large Commercial houses.If the House were thin now, and members had chosen to abandon their duties and go home, it was no fault of the Government ; or of the officials who stood in need of increased salaries.Mr.Atty.Gen.McDoNALmsaid the hon.member for Lambton and other members opposite complained that Minister^ had not brought down a list of the officers whose salaries will be increased.They will find all of them or nearly all ofthem in the Public Accounts of last year, their salaries being voted every year with the estimates.He would not believe the hon.member looked upon this .as a really valid objection; but as he made it a point to object to everything brought forward by the Government, he was put to his wit\u2019s end to find.an objection to so reasonable a proposal as that now before the House, and could get no better pretext for opposition than the absence of this list.The Government really proposed no increase of pay to these officers for their work, but aiiule assistance to enable them to meet their increased expenses.If the salaries formerly paid after the reduction was not too high then, they were evidently quite inadequate now.The member for Lambton had been called the leader of the Puritanic section of the House and he seemed desirous of imitating the Puritans of the Long Parliament.Like 'them he desired that Parliament should cramp the executive as well as increased legislative functions of government down to the appointment of a corporal of militia.He should remember, however, what a pretty kettle of fish they made o! it in England.Some had expressed an opinion that this matter should lie over until February.Should they allow the public servants in the mean time to run in debt for fuel and ,food, and other common necessaries of life.Really he thought this a somewhat inglorious conflict on the part of the opposition, quite unworthy of the steel of the hon.member for Lambton\u2014unworthy the position be occupied, to seek by such a captious objection to keep these poor people out of the little increase sought for them.Hon.Mr, Chabot (in French) spoke at some length in favor of the resolutions.itfr.Stevenson also spoke in tavor of them.It was evident.that this House was most improvident when they fixed the salaries at the present amount, in cheap times, or they would be most, unjlat.to refusé an increase now.Sir, Ferres .would support the Government Resolutions as just in principle, but he hoped that the addition would not be made to the.salaries of those officers down in the Estimates for a gratuity.1 Attorney-General Drummond explained the inerjease under the Government scheme was prospective, the gratuity in the Estimates was for the year now nearly ended; after referring to the necessity and grounds for the increase.It was the intention of Government to take steps to decrease the number of erilployes as much as possible, and increase the office hours, and pay-ng igood salaries get.more* work better done.kin vv».io+ on vr ît ri i /I \u2022 c narri a tv «v vît aVilr» f'rSv lit pm flip any salaries over £1000.The question of salaries was a trifle when compared with the enormous increase of the public expenditure as appeared in the Estimates then before them.In 1849 an attempt was made by the' then Government to to adopt a system of finance for this Province\u2014 a sinking fund was provided for the purpose of paying off the public debt under the provisions of the 5th section of the 12th Viet., cap.5, out of all balances arising from the increase of revenue at the end of each year.A pledge was also made on the 30th July in the same year not to create any additional debt.A Common School fund was algo created under the 12th Vic, cap.100, out of the procefeds of public lands.' The principle of imposing, a direct tax to pay off the public debt within tiventy years was recognized by the Municipal Act 12 Vic.cap.81.These laws would be found as.similar to the Constitution established in New York as the circumstances of the two countries would allow.He would call the attention of the House and Government to the result there of the extension of this principle to State affairs.He found, by the Comptroller\u2019s report for 1853, a tax of some £159,000 is imposed to maintain a Government for over three millions of people, while it appears from our public accounts, for the same year, a tax of £1,320,659 is imposed to maintain a Government for two million- of people.This striking difference arises v holly from iheir superior management of the publia revenue.There no money can be paid out of -ne Treasury unless previously authorizeu by law, and no debt can be incurred without the imposition of a direct tax to pay off the.principal within eighteen years.Thus no debt is authorized unless for some useful improvement which repays the cost of construction.Here we find no direct taxation for interest on the public debt, or for creating a sinking fund to pay the principal ; or for education, while we find in the accounts that these have to be provided for from our other revenues nevertheless.Under their system the public are protected from improper taxation by a Constitution, while under ours the public have no protection whatever except/in the economical management of a Governor and Council.Had we their advantages here the balances from year to year since 1849 would have created a sinking fund, and an increased revenue would have been applied in diminishing the public debt.The estimated are presented now as a mere formality, the money having been already spent, and this House is called upon to sanction that expenditure.It will be done as a matter of course, and the expenditure and the public debt wilU continue to increase from year to year until the true remedy is applied, and that is a written Constitution of our own framing, containing the necessary checks and restraints on thé expenditure of money.Mr.Brown attacked the Government at great length.He thought the accusation against hon.members on bis: side of the House, of endeavoring to make bunkum political capital out of retrenchment, came with very bad grace from hon.gentlemen opposite, especially from the.friends of the Hon.Inspector General.He then read from the minutes of the Retrenchment Committee of.1851, of which the Inspector Gen.had been a prominent member, some of his resolutions and votes, and went on to contend that while the lower salaries required to be increased, the House itself should judge of each case on its own merits, and not leave it in the hands of Ministers.He said the Postmaster General had made as much political capital out of the retrenchment cry as any one.He had been a great stickler for it.For his part, he (Mr.Brown) had never joined in that cry formerly or approved of it, but he could not consent now to raise salaries without knowing what he, was doing.He read extracts from the Report of the Committee of Retrenchment, in which the Inspector General had recommended the reduction of the number of heads of departments to six, and the abolition of the office of Solicitor General.The Inspector General accused the bonble.member for Lambton of garbling the extracts he had read and reading them out of their proper order.He had voted against the reduction of the salary of the Chief Justice of the Queen\u2019s Bench ; but that having been carried against him, he moved to reduce that of the Chief justice of Common Pleas to the same amount.He had also moved to reduce the salary of the Governor General to a sum in accordance with the financial condition of the Province, and he desired then, as now, to carry that principle fairly out.With an increased revenue and more expensive times, he desired now to increase these salaries, which, in those times, when money was scarce aud the necessaries of life cheap, he had sought to reduce.At least in his attempted retrenchment he had flown at high game,\u2014not like the hon.members opposite to-night, who sought to prevent poor clerks from getting means of decent subsistence.The very extracts now used by the hon.member for Lambton, to show that he had worked for excessive retrenchment, and was inconsistent now, had been used by Mr.Cameron, in Huron, against him, as showing that he had favored high judicial salaries ; and these were backed up by powerful arguments in the Globe, which then supported that gentleman.Mr.Dorion (of Montreal) said, hon.members on his side of the House had been blamed for 'opposing a necessary increase of salaries.He had heard none of them do so, but they were opposed to giving the money to Ministers to distribute as they chose.Mr.J.S.Macdonald thought the matter should have been referred to a Committee of the House, on whose report they could have acted with a knowledge of individual cases.The several Resolutions having been proposed, Mr.Rhodes moved in addition, \u201c That the salaries of the members of the Executive Committee.should be increased to £1,250 per annum.\u201d They were not now allowed a sufficient sum to enable them to live in that style which the Ministers of so great a country should maintain.Strangers from abroad, and the men leading in the country, in and out of Parliament, came to the capital with letters to Ministers, and expected to he treated with a hospitality becoming their position.This, Ministers who had not private fortunes could not do now, and these high offices should be open to poor men of talent as well as rich.Their pay was now by no means equal to the responsibilities and high duties of their offices.Mr.Macdonald (of Glengarry) wished to know if the assent of the head of the Government had been obtained to this proposal.Sm Allan McNab said, neither he nor his .colleagues had moved in the matter.They had not laid it before His Excellency the Governor General, but as private member had taken the matter up, he would move \u201c That the Committee should rise and report progress to enable them to do so.\u201d The Committee accordingly rose and the House adjourned.He mast say it didrseemiia hardsMir foi\u2018 them, the heads of departments working in .and out of Parliament for all hours, while their clerks only worked for them some four or five hours per day, and.he hoped this would be shortly remedied.Mr.Rhodes said, he hopeddho system prevailing in some departments, of the employes absenting.themselves during business hours in the middle of the day for lunch or dinner would be done away with, as it caused great inconvenience to those having business to transact there.Hon.Messrs.Chauvf.au and Morin said; in their departments an end had been put to the habit complained of.\t\"\t- Him.Mr.Merritt had never advocated low salaries.He would increase the salaries of all useful clerks to £250-they could not live on less ; but he would make no increase to raise XiANBS FOR SALE!.THE following Lands are for sale.They are situated in the TOWNSHIP of OSGOODE, about 17 miles from Bytown.A portion of the Lands adjoin a Terminus erected, or about to bo erected, on the Bytown and Prescott Railroad.An occupant of these Lands, by this Railroad, is within half an hours reach of either Bytown or Prescott :\u2014 LOT 25.\u20145th Concession, 200 acres, of which about 30 are cleared, and under cultivation.LOT 26.\u20145th Concession, 200 acres ;

begin with the views which are there put forth on this long vexed question.It will be seen that the author has, after nearly five years, during which he professes to have given the matter great consideration, arrived on several very important points at the convictions that we were able to reach by a very simple process long ago ; viz : 1st.\u2014that even \u201c if the Seignior were legally bound to concede at 2d.per arpent, the individual who has purchased a property subject to a rent of l^d.per arpent and who has paid for it in a proportionately less price has no real grievance to complain of, and this class must form an immense majority of the whole body of censitaires.\" -2nd.\u2014That \u201c information regarding the value of the several rights in all the Seigniories of Canada\u201d \u201c could be got very speedily and with sufficient accuracy for the purposes of legislation.\" 3rd.\u2014That the reduction of the maximum of rent from 2d.to Id.per arpent was indeed continued because it was \u201choped that some benefit would be derived by the censitaires\" \u201c in the district of Quebec,\u201d but not upon any principle of law or equity ; and was a change by which \u201c it must be obvious that the people of Quebec gained little if any real advantage, while an enormously increased charge has been put upon the idemnity fund, and one which it may bo wholly insufficient to bear.\u201d 4th.That \u201c the unsufficient idemnity fund is to be wasted by being subjected to the charges consequent on the appointment of a batch of commissioners, the termination of whose labors will assuredly be at a very distant day.\u201d So far, so well ; but after the gratification that we experience in seeing an influential voice coming to the aid of the sound principles which we have advocated in feeoleness, we are quickly possessed by another, and somewhat opposite sentiment, and that is unbounded astonishment that Mr.Hincks should not have aiscovered sooner such obvious truths.We have in a few words summed up the confession that the Seigniorial Tenure bill proposes to rob the public in order to make gratui'-us presents \u201c to a class which forms an immense majority of the whole body of censitaires,\" but which \u201chas no real grievance to complain of that, not content with the robbery first proposed on behalf of those for whom some pretence, though an ; utterly unfounded one, was set up, it pushed the legislative spoliation so far as to put \u201c an enormously increased charge\u2014one 'which it ntay be wholly insufficient to bear\u2019 upon \u201c the indemnity fund,\u201d with no pretence of right at all; and having done so, we reflect that the .present concise and lucid exponent of these and other offences is one of thfi \u201c putters-up\u201d of the theft,\u2014the culprit who has turned King\u2019s evidence on his comrades.There may be some benevolent persons in this wide Province who may take Mr.Hincks for an Oliver Twist in the hands of a \u201cJew Fagan,\u201d in the shape of Mr.Drummond.In that case, they may, doubtless, stretch their faith far enough to believe that he told all he knew directly he discovered his guilt, and may pity to an appropriate extent his deluded innoeenee.We confess that we are far from this sentimentalism.We believe, if it had suited Mr.Hincks\u2019 purposes to have remained in power with his late friends, that he would have carried the bill through with just as little compunction as he did the bill of last year ; that, in truth, he knew last year all that he knows this.Such tardy patriotism is too much like death-bed repentance to afford any room for belief in the sincerity of the convert.We, therefore, do not conceal the opinion that the late premier has either become tired of being out of office, or tired of seeing his late colleagues and his own successors in office ; and that he has determined on a course which must degrade and mortify the members of the present administration, if it do not effectually oust them.As to the allegation, that the principle of forced commutation was introduced, while the bill was in Committee, and the pretence that \u201c this last concession alters the whole character of the measure, and renders it necessary, to retrace the entire ground which has been travelled over\u201d, it is a mere subterfuge to cover treachery.Mr.Hincks cannot fail to be aware that the principle of forced commutation eo nomine was not introduced when the bill was in Committee, but was constantly and successfully resisted by the Government, when pressed by Mr.Dorion, though they made some slight show, at one stage of the bill, of being willing to grant it.\u2014 If he means that the charging of interest against the censitaires, on the commutation money, was in some manner equivalent to a forced commutation, then, besides denying that it was fully equal to forced commutation, we say that that clause, though not printed in the original bill, was part of the scheme submitted by Mr.Drummond in the first instance, and in all probability approved by Mr.Hincks himself.It was in fact, a feature of the measure changed in commitee, and restored in the next stage, on the question of concurrence.But suppose it were true that the change had been thus made at the last moment, how does that alter the case ?Would the omission of the clause make it any more right to relieve censitaires, who, as Mr.Hincks says, have no grievance, at the charge of men who have paid full value for their land ?Would its omission remedy the evil of slovenly blind legislation upon subjects on which Parliament might have been easily informed Î Would it cure the attempt to grasp patronage by making a batch of commissioners, or any of the other wrongs which are now confessedly to be found in the bill ?Clearly, forced or voluntary commutation, can make no difference on any of these points ; and neither one nor the other can do anything but serve for excuse to a man who wanted a pre.text, and did not care what it was, since he was determined to carry out his design.We acknowledge, though we have opposed Mr-Drummond\u2019s bill, we regret the position in which his late perfidious colleague has placed him.Nothing can well be more unfortunate, and certainly nothing less merited from the quarter from whence the blow comes.Mr.D.must see all the credit of a measure, upon which he has based his reputation, destroyed by his own connivance, or he must ¦adhere to his bill at the risk of being hauled from power just at the moment when a work cf years was being consummated, and of having it taken out of his hands by force.But what ajj broad illumination is cast by this affair upon responsible government.We have just missed, if we have missed, having a most important and most vicious measure carried by the aid of a very able man, who all the time must have known its vices and who at length publishes them to the world for no other apparent reason than that he is out of place or out of temper.Consequences of the War.\u2014Speaking of affairs in the Crimea, a friend, writing to us from Liverpool on the day of the last steamer\u2019s departure (18th ultimo.) says:\u2014\u201cReinforcements have been too long delayed.Now the Government is waking-up, and to-day it is laying its hands upon all available steamers.We are likely only to have a Cunard steamer once a fortnight henceforth, if so often.Mails are matters of no consequence now-a-days.\u201d Our friend\u2019s anticipations, as will be seen by Mr.Cunard\u2019s advertisement in another column, are being realized.On the 13th and 27th instant, the Cunard steamers Africa and Arabia will leave New York for Liverpool, but as the Niagara has been taken up by Government for the conveyance of troops to the Crimea, there will be no mail steamer from Boston on the 20th instant.We devote a considerable portion of our space this morning, to a memoir of the late General Sir George Cathcart, from the pen of one who served under him, who knew him well, and who fully appreciated his admirable qualities as a high-minded, enlightened, chivalrous gentleman, officer and soldier.To our military friends this memoir will, of course, possess a peculiar interest ; but as, in those uncertain times, no one can foresee how soon he may be called upon, in his country\u2019s cause, to draw the sword or carry the minuie, we recommend it equally to the attention of the general leader.Loss of the \u201c Bruce Mines\u201d Propellor.\u2014We regret to learn that a telegraph dispatch from the Captain of this vessel was received in town on Thursday, dated Fergus, communicating her total loss, she having foundered off Cape Hurd on Lake Huron, on the 28th ultimo.The Bruce Mines was on her outward voyage from this port with the winter\u2019s supplies for the mines, and it can seareely be but that her disastrous fate, independent of the mere pecuniary loss, will entail muchinconvenience if not suffering on the mining population during the winter.Her crew, with the exception of one man, were fortunately all saved and, we understand, that an ample insurance had been effected as well on the vessel as on her cargo.Imperial Customs.\u2014We learn that dispatches were received, by the last English mail, intimating that, on the 5th of January next, the Imperial Customs Department in Canada will be abolished, and the duties heretofore performed by its officers be transferred to the Colonial Department.It was rumored in town yesterday that an accident had occurred on the Quebec aud Richmond Section of the Grand Trunk Railway.Ou enquiry, we find that no such accident happened, their only being a slight detention, one of the freight-cars having got off the track.North British Review.\u2014American Edition, Leonard Scott fy Co., New York.We have to thank Mr.Dawson of Great St.James\u2019 St., for the November number of

has been printed by order of the House.It is somewhat voluminous, occupying 84 octavo pages, and gives a concise history of the various Public Works in Canada up to the date of the report, 22nd June, 1854.We shall endeavor to.give our readers a general synopsis of its contents in an early issue of the Herald, but in the meantime, as a matter of peculiar interest to the whole province and, more especially, to the mercantile interest, we give below, in extenso, that portion of the report having reference to the contract with Government, for the establishment of a regular line of steamers between Liverpool and the St.Lawrence, in summer, and Portland in winter\u2014 the Commissioners say :\u2014 In the last report of this Department, submitted to the Legislature, it was stated that a contract, dated 13th August, 1853, had been entered into (subject to the approval of the Legislature), with a Liverpool Firm, for the establishment of a line of steamers between the Port of Liverpool and the Cities of Quebec and Montreal, during the season of navigating the St.Lawrence, and between the Port of Liverpool and Portland during the winter.By the terms of this contract, the firm adverted to covenanted to establish and maintain a regular line of large and powerful Screw Steamers, to ply between Liverpool and Quebec and Montreal once a fortnight during the season for navigating the river St.Lawrence, and once a montq during winter, between the Ports of Liverpool and Portland.Those steamers should be of not less than 1202 tons, Carpenter\u2019s measurement,and 300 horse power, and their dimensions, draft, and running speed should be as follows : Length ot Keel.230\tfeet.Breadth.34\tfeet.Depth moulded.19\tfeet.Depth of hold.18\tfeet.Draft of water, loaded.16 feet.Draft of water with 13 days fuel consumed.13 feet 6 inches.Draft of water with 13 days fuel consumed, and 300 tons cargo landed at Quebec.11\tfeet.By the contract it was also provided that there should be furnished for this service not fewer than five good vessels of the power and capacity above mentioned, for the fortnightly line during the season of the navigation of the river St.Lawrence, and not fewer than three similar vessels, during the winter season, for the monthly trips to Portland.These steamers were to have accommodations for first and second class passengers, equal to those of any of any present Atlantic Screw steamers ; as well as superior accommodation in the between decks, for emigrants and third class passengers.The vessels were to be capable of stowing 1000 tons measurement of cargo, besides coals in bunkers, for 24 days consumption.The passenger and freight rates were also specified and the time occupied by the steamers on the outward passage from England was not to exceed in a yearly average 14 days,and the homeward passage 13 days.The annual service between Liverpool and Quebec aud Montreal, was to comprise 14 trips, one trip being understood to be from Liverpool and back ; and the service between Liverpool and Portland was to comprise five trips, from Liverpool to Portland and back.The steamers as described herein, were to be ready, and to commence their regular fortnightly trips, on or before the first of May, 1854, and a sufficient number of such vessels to be ready, and in fact to commence the monthly trips, in the spring of the year 1853.Several other conditions, which it is not necessary here to recapitulate, were embraced in the Contract, relative to the carrying of the mail, books, pamphlets, free distribution of them, exemption from the payment of light and other Provincial dues in the River St.Lawrence, &c.The contract was to continue for seven years from the commencement of the service.For the performance of the foregoing service, the Province of Canada, was to pay the Contractors at the rate of £1238 Is lid stg.for each fortnightly trip from Liverpool to Quebec and Montreal, and back to Liverpool, of which 14 such trips were to be made annually, as soon as the five steamers should be established as above stated ; and, for each monthly trip from Liverpool to Portland and back, the St.Lawrence and Atlantic Railway Company, and City of Portland, were to pay the sum of £336 6s 8d sterling.It was further provided that in case the Contractors had not the required number of vessels built or ready, in the spring of the year 1853, to make the fortnightly trips, they bound and obliged themselves to have a sufficient number of vessels ready to make monthly trips between Liverpool and Quebec and Montreal, until the required number should be ready to establish the regular fortnightly line, which was not to be later than the opening of the navigation in the year 1854 ; and for such time as such monthly line should be continued, the contractors were to pay the sum of £1333 6s 6d sterling.For the due fulfilment of the .contract, the several partners were jointly and severally bound in the sum of £10,000 stg.The undersigned have to express deep regret that the conditions of this contract have been carried out in no one particular, as will appear from the following.The vessels were to be of not less than 1200 tons measurement, 300 horse power, to perform the outward trip on an average of 14 days, and the homeward trip in 13 days.Between Liverpool and Quebec and Montreal, they were bound, at least, to make monthly trips during the navigation of the St.Lawrence in the year 1853 ; but, from the opening of the navigation in 1854 they were fully bound to be prepared in all respects to make their fortnightly trips between these ports.In 1853 the following vessels were sent out :\u2014 Tons.Horse Power.The Genova.700\t160 The Lady Eglinton.600\t160 The Sarah Sands.1200\t150 There were fully seven months of open and ordinary free navigation in 1853, and the contractors by their engagement should have made at least seven trips.There were but five made.The average outward passage was to be 14 days, that of the homeward 13 days.The Genova averaged 20 days out, 15 days home.The Lady Eglinton 14 days out, 12 days home.The Sarah Sands 22 days out, 14 days home.In the performance of the service to Portland, the contractors equally failed in the year 1853.With regard to the rates of freight to which the Contractors are bound, on reference to their advertisements in the several newspapers it will be seen that they demand 80s.per ton, whereas the contract specifies that it shall not exceed 60s.: they therefore either abandon their contract, or act illegally in exacting 80s.per ton.The undersigned have but little reason to hope that the service for this year will be much more satisfactorily performed than it has been during the preceding year ; they are aware that the number and class of vessels which the Contractors had fully bound themselves to have ready, on the opening of the navigation, has not yet been provided, although ample time has elapsed since the 13th of August, 1852, to have had them built.The Cleopatra left Liverpool for Quebec and Montreal on the 11th of April, and reached Quebec on the 24th of May.The quantity and the lateness of the ice in the Gulf has been presented to explain the late appearance of the Cleopatra ; but, as early as the 10th May, a ship under sail had made the passage to Quebec, aud on the 24th when the Cleopatra came into port, she found 50 sail already at anchor before her.The next vessel of this line that left Liverpool this season was the Ottawa, of 910 tons and 200 horse-power, which cleared from Liverpool for Quebec on the 25th of April, and did not arrive at the latter city at all.This violation of the contract is thus explained :\u2014that finding ice in the Gulf she had put into Portland, discharged her Quebec and Montreal cargo there, which was forwarded to its respective destinations by means of the Atlantic and St.Lawrence Railway to Montreal, and thence down the river to Quebec, and that she then took in a return cargo at Portland for Liverpool.The Charity, of 1,007 tons and 400 horse-power, was the next vessel on the line.She left Liverpool on the 10th of May, and arrived in Quebec on the 7th of June,\u2014tlius making the passage in 27 days.This vessel, as well as the Cleopatra which arrived on the 24th of May, and was advertised to have sailed several days ago, is still in the St.Lawrence.It is understood that the Sarah Sands left Liverpool for Quebec on the 25th of May\u2014so that she is now due here.The Contractors, through their agents at Liverpool, had given assurance that this vessel, against which public opinion was strongly expressed last year, should not again be placed on the line.Under the circumstances detailed in the foregoing, and deeply impressed with the importance of the establishment of a truly effective and direct line of steamers between Great Britain and this Colony, and also with the necessity of removing from the public mind the injurious impression and doubts as to the possibility of establishing such a line, which the course taken by the Contractors hitherto has tended strongly to create, the undersigned are of opinion that one of two courses must be adopted, namely\u2014either to cancel the present contract if one really exists, or to call upon the Contractor, at once, to satisfy the Government fully, that they have made such arrangements as will henceforth insure, without further delay or disappointment, such number and class of vessels being placed on the line, as will he capable of performing the service in a manner that will meet the wants of the country, and the views of the Legislature in sanctioning the expenditure.The undersigned are of opinion that, to meet those wants fully, and so that the anticipated benefits from direct steam communication between this Colony and England may be realised, i' is necessary that the line should be a weekly one, during the season of navigation of the St.Lawrence.Such a line would draw to this route a traffic of great importance, extending through a vast tract of country from the far West of the American continent ; and it would also tend importantly to the lowering of freight to and from Canada.It would be difficult, in fact, to define limits to the benefits which such a business would diffuse through the channels of Industry in this Country.From the fact of several suitable first class Steam Vessels, owned by enterprising men in this Province, being now on the stocks, and well advanced, the undersigned are disposed to believe that a weekly line might be established without much delay, by not confining it to the parties, connected with the present line ; but it is to be observed that the Canadian Ocean Steamers are under the disadvantage of having opposed to them two other lines from this continent to Europe, each of which is heavily subsidized by its respective Government; and, ofeourse, it would be necessary to give such encouragement to the former as would enable it successfully to compete with its rivals.QUEBEC CORRESPONDENCE MONTREAL HERALD.Quebec, Dec.7, 1854.Y\u2019our Quebec Correspondent arrived again at the ancient capital this morning, after a capital run from Longueuil by the Grand Trunk day train of yesterday.I find the world political here completely capsized since the end of last week, and during the temporary interruption to communication with the rest of mankind, caused by the storms of Sunday and Monday.There has been almost crise ministerielle, and probably, though it is said to be over, the present lull is but preliminary to a more violent storm.I need not say that Mr.Hincks\u2019 pamphlet has been the element whose introduction has set all the other elements in motion.The reader who peruses this little tract without the light derived from a knowledge of parties, and of the bearing upon parties on the question treated of, would be inclined to think it a very common-place matter.There is no vehemence of style, and no attempt to enforce by argument or illustration the correctness of the views put forth.Small as the entire treatise is, too, the practical part of it bears a still smaller proportion to that taken up with the history of the attempt to regulate by legislation the question of the tenure.Never-these eight pages have a most important meaning, for they are written by a man who must have an intention, beyond the mere enunciation of a sterile opinion.They imply, that when the Seigniorial Tenure Bill shall have been amended in tbe Legislative Council, as it certainly will be, Mr.Hincks will use his influence to induce the Legislative Assembly to knock the measure on the head ; in other words, they foreshadow Mr.Hincks in opposition to the coalition Ministry ; then a new combination, a thorough break, or something else, which, considering tbe Protean varieties of Responsible Government, it is utterly impossible for any intelligence short of omniscience even to conceive.I need not say the agitation is very considerable ; and one at least of Mr.Hincks\u2019 Upper Canadian friends (Mr.Smith of Northumberland) has shown on the estimates a very decided disposition for bolting, in company with the financier.But oue man or two men can accomplish nothing, and it will take some time before the most sagacious can form any idea of the array in which the two camps will be drawn up, when the day of combat shall really arri re.I content myself, therefore, with a few words on what I com ceive to be the tendencies of the different sec tions, into which the House is divided, with the reservation implied in the preceding sentence, that nothing can be more uncertain than the best opinions that can be formed to-day.I imagine, then, that when the late Inspector General raises his banuer in the cause which he has now taken up, he will be joined by all the Upper Canadians who recognized him as their leader at the time of the last break-up ; to these will probably rally the conservatives of intelligence, and who being able to appreciate financial utility are not likely to be particularly well satisfied to follow the lead of Mr.Cayley.Such men as Crawford and Langton may very probably, if they do not choose to join Mr.Hincks, at least aid him in overturning the Seigniorial Bill.The old conservative party, I take it for granted, will, with some exceptions of this sort, adhere to the Upper Canadian branch of the ministry.Then bow will this branch be inclined to act ?I take it, that their prime object will be to retain their alliance with that section of the French Canadian party, with which they havo already connected themselves, for they are wise enough in their generation to appreciate the almost impregnable strength of well-cemented stupidity, and certainly stronger materials of the kind could scarcely be collected and fitted together than the ancient conservatives of Upper Canada, and the old fogy radicals, now become the highest tories, of Canada East.But how will these allies proceed?Will the Lower Canadian section of them, which will probably be the governing one, insist on carrying the bill as it is, or will they, after all, prefer Mr.Hincks\u2019s scheme and throw Mr.Drummond over the bridge ?I suspect, in spite of all their love for the censitaires, they will very willingly consent to anything that will retain them in the position of a ruling majority ; for the reign of jobs is not yet over, and there are still millions ot money to be spent in North Shore Railroads, which will, some how or other, make fortunes for individuals, while they are notoriously losing concerns.I have still omitted to mention the truly liberal party in Upper and Lower Canada, whose action is as uncertain as that ot any ot the other sections of the House, though from an entirely different cause.They have no personal alliegances to conserve and no political empire to maintain ; and though it is quite plain that Mr.Hincks\u2019 present plan approximates in principle more closely to them than the plan of Mr.Drummond, it is by no means certain that its legislative embodiment, so entirely different from what has hitherto been promised, can obtain their support.It is, perhaps, still less likely tbat.they can become part of any ministerial parly by combinations with either of the fragments of the present majorily.Mr.Drummonds position is an extraordinary and a painlul one.He has sacrificed principle to a great extent with the object of meeting all views, especially the views of the censitaires ; he has gone through much bodily and mental labour, and now, upon the point of seeing his work assume the shape of accomplished legislation, the whole is in a fairway of being upset, and in the certain road to discredit, by the act of a colleague who, in and out of the Government, has, step by step, sanctioned everything that he has done, and that at a time when his sanction implied deliberate exam- ination before approval.There is just one chance left for him, and that is to be found in a determination of his party to hold together and pall right, though, if possible, in opposition to Mr.Hincks, and every one else, or if not, to resign.But one can hardly expect to find a sense of honour sufficient to risk loss of office in a ministry formed upon the mere basis of a desire for office, by men who, in accepting it, set ever consideration of honor aside.Mr.Drummond, himself, can hardly expect that, and, I should think, could not urge it upon his colleagues with a serious face.At any rate uo oue else looks for it.I have said that this is the only chance for the Attorney General [East,] because it certainly would not be a matter of good fortune, whatever else it might be, if that gentleman himself, should submit to keep offiee at the price of accepting the Ex Inspector General\u2019s dictation.This would seem, besides, an impossible solution ; but nothing is impossible as polities are now managed, and f am bound to mention it among the contingencies.Whatever may be the result, Mr.Drummond is said to feel acutely the conduct of his late leader ; and those who profess to be his friends are by no means careful in the selection of the phrases by which they describe Mr.Hincks\u2019 conduct.The celebrated maxim of Mr.Baldwin seems in substance to express their views pretty accurately; only, that in addition to the very natural anger of those who see themselves or their friends betrayed, they have the bitterness of feeling that they might have taken warning, and ought to have done so.It seems that the Reciprocity Treaty was not obtained entirely for nothing, £3,000 is put down in the estimates as compensation to Thomas Rig-ney, Esq., in full of all disbursements, &c., fer \u201cdisseminating information\u201d respecting \u201cReciprocity cf Trade\u201d with the United States during the last six years.The materials of which this very costly information was composed were not allowed to transpire in detail ; bat it is understood to have been the same sort of \u201cinforma-tion\u201d which has, in all ages, led to wonderful changes of opinion, and which, when not disseminated diplomatically, is called by another name.When Mr.Drummond told the Missisquoi people, anent the election there, to say \u201cmoney,\u201d he used, in fact, what is supposed to be the popular synonym of the \u201cinformation\u201d of the estimate.Among what unenlightened class of our well-educated neighbors this information was required, I do not pretend to say.Their Government is a popular one ; but if each of the sovereigns got his fair share, there would not be a great deal of fresh knowledge for any one of them ; so, I presume, only a select few were crammed.SYNOPSIS OF MR.HINCKS\u2019S LATE PAMPHLET ON THE SEIGNIORIAL QUESTION.No apology need be offered for intruding on public notice a few observations suggested by a perusal of the Amendments proposed to be offered in the Legislative Council to the Bill *\t* and intitled, \u201c An Act to provide for the abolition of feudal rights and duties in Lower Canada.\u201d * * * In 1851, the subject was referred to a Select Committee, of which Mr.Drummond, then Solicitor General, was Chairman.The result of the protracted labours of that Committee was a Bill, not to settle the question, hut to define the rights of the Seigniors.It was proposed to settle by legislative enactment the maximum amount of cens et rentes, to which the Seignior would be entitled, and to adopt measures to compel him to concede at that rate.A Bill was accordingly introduced of a declaratory character, but Mr.Attorney General Lafontaine objected to its being proceeded with, on the ground that it provided no real settlement of the Seigniorial question, and that it was in reality a measure of confiscation.*\t*\t* During the year 1851, a new Ad ministration was formed, aud a general election followed.The Government occupied itself during the recess with the consideration of the best means of effecting a satisfactory adjustment of tlie Seigniorial question, and the Bill of 1852 was the result of their deliberations.*\t*\t* Not only did it not contemplate the extinction of the Seigniorial Tenure, but it was held by those who professed to be the best acquainted with the opinions of the people of Lower Canada, that there was no strong desire on the part of the Censitaires to effect such a change.*\t*\t* The scope and object of the Government measure was to deal with the question of excessive rents, and in order to remove all groun d of complaint on the part of the Seigniors, and that their property was to be confiscated, it was determined that the question should be submitted to the Courts of Justice as to whether the rents alleged to be excessive were legal or not.But without reference to this decision, it was to be declared by law that in future the maximum amount of rent should be two pence per arpent *\t* The commutation of the other Seigniorial rights was to be optional, and the burden of their redemption was to fall on the Censitaire.The Bill as' finally passed by the Assembly, after much deliberation, was summaril; lative Council * idly rejected by the Legis-* It may be safely af- firmed on the part of the members for Upper Ca-Qjp nada, that no objection would be made by them to the application of the Government aid in any manner which may be deemed most conducive to to the extinction of the Tenure.It is trueSthat the general public dissatisfaction at the excessive rents and the prevailing belief thot the subsisting contracts have been illegally extorted, constitute the ground on which alone public aid can be demanded, but now that the sanction of the House of Assembly has been given to the principle of indemnity from the Consolidated Fund, there would be no objection whatever to a variation in the mode of applying the amount granted, more especially if it could be shewn that such a variation would afford the sole means of extinguishing the Tenure.After the rejection in May 1853 of the Bill sent by the Assembly to the Legislative Council, increased agitation took place, and public opin ion became much stronger in favor of the total abolition of the tenure, especially in the District of Montreal.The people of Quebec too, where the rents are generally low, began to perceive that the effect of the Government measure would be to distribute the indemnity obtained from the resources of the whole population among the minority of the Seigniories situated principally in the District of Montreal, while all the real evils of the system would be left untouched.Unfor-tunately, however, the remedy suggested by the Quebec interest was the reduction of the maximum rent from two pence to one penny per arpent, by which means it was hoped that some benefit weuld be derived by the Censitaires in that District.The Government still adhering to the principle of not forcing a Commutation of the tenure, and being unable to deny the reasonableness of the complaints made on behalf of the Quebec Censitaires, yielded this point, and proposed the reduction of the rents to one penny without however having any means of increasing the indemnity.It must be obvious that the people of Quebec gained little if any real advantage by the change, while an enormously increased charge has been put on the indemnity fund, and one which it may be wholly insufficient to hear.The new Government measure now under consideration has been moulded to meet the views of the parties to whom reference has been made.The reduction of the rent to a penny per arpent was to satisfy the Quebec Censitaires, while the principle of forced commutation, introduced while the bill was in Committee, was a concession to Montreal public opinion.This last concession is one which alters the whole character of the measure, and renders it necessary to retrace the entire ground which has been travelled over.It was a point yielded hy the Government at almost the last moment, and it is now admitted that the plan proposed for effecting the commutation and adopted without sufficient consideration would have been grossly unjust to the Seignior.In dealing with private rights which are not even disputed, there must he a strict regard to the principle of full compensation for all that is taken away, it is quite evident that this cannot be given with satisfaction to the Censitaires under the provisions of the present bill.The amendments proposed to be submitted to the Legislative Council on behalf of the Seigniors, although in accordance with equity and calculated very much to improve the bill sent from the Assembly will most assuredly render it obnoxious to the mass of the Censitaires.In fact, -the great objection to all the schemes which have hitherto found favor in the Legislature, is that they operate unequally.They confer a benefit on the people in certain Seigniories at the expense of the public at large, including of course those Censitaires who will derive no advantage whatever from the bill.The Censitaires are to be relieved from one class of burthens (the rents), but at the same time are to have others imposed on them, while the munificent indemnity fund is to be wasted by being subjected to the chm-ges consequent on the appointment of a batch of Commissioners, the termination of whose labours will assuredly be at a very distant day.Those who have steadily supported the views of the Government on this\u2019question up to the present time, are compelled to pause, now that the whole aspect of affairs has changed.It is to be hoped that the Government will likewise pause.The decisions of the Legislative Assembly would justify them in proposing a settlement of this most difficult question, such as a few months ago they could hardly have ventured on.*\t*\t*\t* The principle of compulsory early commutation, having been forced on the Government, they should now deal with the question in the most comprehensive manner.The obvious way of effecting the object, is to apply the indemnity in the first place, to the extinction of the most objectionable and burthensome rights by which means the most offensive features of the tenure could bo at once abolished, and a great boon would be extended to every Censitaire in Lower Canada.No other plan can be devised which would confer equal benefits en all classes of Censitaires.The objection of course would be that parties now paying excessive rents would get no special relief.To this it may be fairly replied\u2014 that the indemnity has been given, not so much because the parties subjected to these rents have any particular claim to compensation, as to Satisfy widely spread popidar discontent.It cannot be denied that even if the Seigniors were legally bound to concede at 2d.per arpent, the individual who has purchased a property subject to rent of \\s.per arpent, and ivho has paid for it a proportionately less price, has no real grie-icince to complain of, and this class must form an immense majority of the whole body of Censitaires.*\t*\t*\t*\t*\t*\t' # The advantage of the plan proposed is, that it is simple and inexpensive, and that no individual would have to pay more annual rent than he does at present, while the entire community would be relieved from all feudal burthens.It, moreover, can be speedily carried into operation.* * .* As there can be little doubt that the present Bill, with the proposed amendments, will wholly fail in its object, it may be well to consider whether any suggestion, other than the one indicated above, can be offered.Sheuld than plan fail, it might be deemed sufficient legislation for the present, to appropriate the funds set apart in the Bill now pending, to the redemption of Seigniorial rights, to provide for the submission of ail disputed points to the Courts of Law, and also for the appointment of Commissioners to obtain information regarding the value of the several rights in all the Seigniories in Lower Canada.Such information could be got very speedily and with sufficient accuracy for the purposes of legislation.CORRESPONDENCE.THE LATE SIR GEORGE CATHCART.To the Editor of the Montreal Herald.Sir,\u2014In the imperfect details before us of the last action of the 5 th November, we learn only the fact, that the Lieutenant General of tbe 4th Division is among the killed; and the melancholy tidings seem to have been officiai iy communicated.In common with many others, I read this intelligence with a sadness which even strong national feelings of exultation could not subdue, for, although his loss may be supplied, one cannot but feel that as gallant a soldier as ever crossed a horse, has been taken from an important command, for which he possessed singular requisites\u2014one who united with chivalrous honor and a high sense of duty a nature as warm and genial and unaffected as ever gladdened society, and whose influence in every department of life in which he mixed, was as great as it deserved to be.I observed in your paper, which reached me this morning, a short obituary, in which yon do ample justice to the merits of this remarkable man ; and with a full sense of the responsibility of the duty, I, who had an opportunity of seeing much of him when he was in command of the King\u2019s Dragoon Guards, will endeavor to add something to the store of the recollections which will doubtless be given to the world.I do not pretend to give any consecutive sketch of his career, for I have not the materials at hand, but much that I will include in this tribute of deep and sincere respect is what has fallen under my own notice ; and the remaining part is, I believe, substantially true.George Cathcart, horn in London, May 12, 1794, came from a race of soldiers, in whom, among t he most sterling qualities, was ever found a rare and instinctive modesty.Carefully educated for the profession in which he played his part, at an early age he tfilered the 2nd Life Guards as Cornet, 10th May, 1810, and on 1st July, 1811, he was gazetted a Lieutenant of the 6th Dragoon Guards, (the Carabineers.) He was barely eighteen years of age when the great events of 1812 occurred, and as his father was Ambassador at St.Petersbhrgb the mind of the young soldier naturally turned to the theatre of war.I believe he was present at St.Peters-burgh, where the influence of his father was great, and whose conduct did much to assure the inhabitants, then greatly alarmed at the French invasion.It was not, however, until the campaigns of the ensuing two years that young Cathcart took any active part in the war, and we then find him as Aid-de-Camp to his father who was attached to the Russian army, and in which, his advice considerably aided in closing the campaign at Leipsic.Young as he then was, and exposed to all the influences of a campaigning life\u2014its alternations of great exertions and idlenesses, and the reckless gaiety in which men hourly exposed to danger indulge, he diligently kept a diary of the occurrences of the period and for years it was kept by him unused ; it was not until the year 1841, that he published what he terms, with the modesty which accompanied him through life, \u201c Commentaries\u201d on the war of 1813-14.This book I have carefully read, and I am sure that no military man will consider hia library complete without it.It is a suceinct account of these campaigns, with remarks upon their character, and while a long detail of each battle is avoided it is a matter of astonishment with how few words the reader is made acquainted with the series of operations from Liitzen to the investment of Leipsic.The language is forcible and the style condensed to a rare severity, and being the production of an irreproachable eye-witness the book will retain its place in the literature of the country equally with the name of its author in her military annals.Perhaps, if there is any event which the Cossack Emperor can feel, it will be the death of the historian of that war, in which they both commenced their military career.Doubtless the two often met in those days, and, if the loss of life ever does cause pain to the canting despot, the reflection that his grasping and dishonest policy has cost, among thousands of others, the life of the son of him who was Russia\u2019s steadiest friend, must be painful indeed.And, certainly, Lieutenant Cathcart on his first campaign with the Russian army could have but little anticipated that in a war against this very Russia in some forty years, he was doomed to fall.After these events had placed the Bourbons on the French throne and Bonaparte had been exiled to Elba and had again returned, wo find Lieut.Cathcart in the field as Aide-de-Camp to the Great Duke at Waterloo.His deportment on that trying day is best shown by tbe fact that be retained the friendship of his commander to the death of the great warrior.The latter he accompanied to Paris, end after the attempt of Cantillon upon the Duke\u2019s life, the will made by the Duke was attested by Lieut.Cathcart.It was the Duke of Wellington who appointed Coi.Cathcart Deputy Governor of the Tower on the suicide of Colonel Greenwood ; and it was at his recommendation General Cathcart was nominated Commander of the Forces at the Cape of Good Hope and made Adjutant General on his return.Peace succeeded the occupation of Paris, and there was little for the soldier to perform which would have its reward in honorable notices, promotions and decorations ; and the superficial observer would conceive that in the monotony of garrison duty there is a narrow field for the energies and abilities of a commander.But the case is otherwise.Any officer with any sense of duty and responsibility will bear in mind that the happiness of many is entrusted to him, and he will by his conduct and influence show that he is never forgetful of the trust.The name of the subject of these remarks appears in the Gazettes of the day, as follows Captain R.W.India Rangers, 24th December, 1818; exchanged to 7th Hussars, IGth December, 1819; Major 22nd Foot, 8th April, 1826; Lieut.Colonel unattached, 13th May, 1826; 57th Foot, 21st January, 1828 ; 8th (King\u2019s) Regiment Foot, 20th March, 1828 ; unattached, 24th September, 1835.General Cathcart was always a cavalry officer, and no dragoon in any rank had a more thorough knowledge of the duties of every branch of that service.His exchange from the Carabineers, was of course to the 7th Hussars, the W.India Ranger commission being accessory to his obtaining his troop.During his stay in this regiment, it is believed there was not a better swordsman in it, either with the small sword or sabre.Indeed, he ever took great delight in the use of weapons, and prided himself, justly, no little on his skill as a sabreur.It may be added, that hia favorite mode of attack and defence was the hanging guard.He must at this period have paid the greatest attention to his duties, for he was acquainted with all the minulice and detail of the kit of a private, which knowledge can only be obtained by careful observation.After a term of six years in the Hussais, with all his predisposition for the cavalry, he appears to have left it for twelve years.During this period, he was in command of the 8th Regiment of foot, I believe some seven years, and doubtless there are those who can supply this portion of his life, for certain it is, there will be much to record, for he never mingled in any pursuit, without leaving on it the impress of his mind and character.After leaving the 8th foot, Lt.Colonel Cathcart was placed on the unattached list ; and it was not until the rebellion in Canada, that he again appeared on the scene.A story went the round of the papers at the time, and there is every reason to think it authentic, that he was sent for to the Horse Guards, and the question was put to him, how long he would require to prepare himself to leave England on particular service, and the characteristic reply was\u2014\u201c Half an hour, but twenty minutes will suffice, if no more time can be spared\u201d\u2014The authorities took him at his word and he came to this country.It was in Canada that he sasumed the command of the King\u2019s Dragoon Guards, and it is of this portion of General Cathcart\u2019s career the writer would more immediately speak.On joining this regiment, he found the interior economy in a most disordered state.There were none of the regulations v/hieh are enforced in a well disciplined corps.There were no standing orders, no regimental rules, nor ordered routine, the discipline, so far as field operatious went, was sufficiently good, but it was in the working of its domestic relations, that- the déficiences were apparent.The previous Col.Sir George Tees-dale, had left the whole control to the adjutant.Such a neglect of duty led to the worst results.The mode of keeping the men\u2019s accounts was imperfect.The necessaries issued inferior, the saddlery and appointments neglected, there was no non-commissioned officers mess, and the system was one conducted on that abominable principle propounded by Melville in the House of Commons, tbaQthe happiness of the \u201c private was a very secondary consideration, for the bigger the blackguard the better the soldier.\u201d The ennunciation of the doctrine has met its reward by the infamy which it has cast upon the memory of its.utterer.Colonel Cathcart started on an entirely new principle.To make men happy, elevate them, he would say, and they fulfil the better the duties they have to perform.He commenced with a system of accounts, laying down rules aud regulations for pay, which had the happiest result.Under the old depressing system of his predecessor, a man could be put upon stoppages to the limit of his means\u2014 sometimes he drew only a penny a day, and debt with all its depressing influences was pain-fuliy felt : men saw before them no future, their embarrassment appeared continual, and as occasionally that abomination to the service the canteen, held out temptation to the soldier who otherwise might have resisted an inclination to be dissipated\u2014men would often get necessaries from the Sergeant Major, and sell them at half price.This is a very serious crime in the service, but is seldom noiiced unless in extreme cases, and wisely so.It is only an injury to the man himself\u2014and unless irretrievably in debt, it has seldom a bad effect, aud works iia own euro.But often in extreme cases, it-is necessary to make an ( xampie of ilie defaulter, ft has been said that frequently necessaries were-given out by the Sergeant Major, and sold to the wife of that worthy at about half their cost\u2014 Colonel Cathcart knew that here lay the seed of much of the misconduct which will geueral y exist among a large body of men, and the misery that it entails, and he struck at the root.He at once made Captains of troops responsible for their accounts.Generally in cavalry regiments, the officers are men of fortune, and careless about money themselves.As a general rule, their contingent allowance is j given to the Troop Sergeant-Major, and the latter I keeps the accounts.In the King\u2019s Dragoon Guards the Captain had to certify to each month\u2019s account\u2014Is.each man\u2014and a list being sent in to the orderly-room, it was always compared with the preceding one.But the main regulation was to ensure the private the full amount of his pay ; and the regulations promulgated on this occasion are models of simplicity, the very fractional parts of the exchange being provided for, so that no one lost a halfpenny a year, and the rules were so clear as to be within the comprehension of all.Further, it was provided that no man, unless his pay had been stopped by a Court Martial, should ever receive less than three pence currency a day.Thus he restored hope to the embarrassed, and to awaken them to a new sense of^jduty, he told those, who are termed \u201c bad characters,\u201d that if they kept six months out of the defaulter\u2019s book they had regained every claim to indulgence, and that he deemed them worthy of consideration for promotion.He was always anxious to recognize merit.He commenced his intercourse with men as if they deserved every care and consideratiou, and never abandoned a friend\u2014and these he had in all ranks, from the Field Marshall to the private.One or two he promoted who had been even in jail for military crimes ; and though, like others, he was sometimes disappointed in his men, his system answered well.His constant aim was to make men happy.He laid down a rule, that in anything that was felt as a grievance, two old soldiers from each troop should come before him and state it.He never refused a proper application.He was asked, if when the men were on guard, thsy might lie on the guard bed during the day : certainly, was the reply.He encouraged athletic exercises, and any amusements which would keep away idleness.In summer, for sword drill, the men used to parade in their shirt sleeves.On the regimental field days he wished the men to wear their old pantaloons\u2014the more patched the better\u2014as by these means he economized the money of the men.He gave receipts for greasing boots during winter, and a regimental order was expressly directed as to the necessity of wearing flannels.In any social gathering of the regiment he always interested himself, and invariably sent his comribution in the shape of two or three dozen of wine.Indeed, there was nothing which led to the well-being of the soldier in which he did not interfere.On his arrival at the regiment, he immediately started a Sergeants\u2019 Mess ; he drew up rules and regulations for it, gave the non-commissioned officers the benefit of his experience, sent over several books and parnnhlets, and to the last gave them all the newspapers he received ; and with all this, the discipline of the regiment was well kept.Young officers had to know their duty, and even captains had to attend mid-day stables ; and there was such a tone given to the regiment, in every department, that its efficiency was a proverb.Indeed, there are few regiments in the British army, with all its gallant associations, which can be compared to the King\u2019s Dragoon Guards, when under the command of this distinguished and good man.Generally, in dragoon regiments, there is less distance between officer and man than in the infantry.The horse is a great link of union, and they meet in common ground in so many places that the tone of address and manner is more friendly aud frank.In this regiment, to go on the cricket ground it would be hard to tell officer from private, except by fine linen and embroidery.There was never a corporal\u2019s spree that the young officers did not come over and join towards the end of it, and with the greatest frankness\u2014the line of discipline was never passed.Insolence or disrespect to an officer was unknown.Indeed, the Captains were looked upon as the guardians of the rights of the soldier; and if any felt aggrieved by the petty tyranny of a sergeaht, the retort usually was, that an appeal would be made to the Captain at mid-day stables.It is difficult to relate all that was done to better the condition of the men of all ranks placed under his command.The Officers\u2019 Mess was reorganized, specific regulations made, useless expenses retrenched, extravagance avoided, and particular care shown for tbe younger officer in joining.As has been said above, the affairs of the non-commissioned officers were alike put in order.Troop Sergeant-Majors were the objects of his special care.They were not pedlars, he said, to make money out of the private.Until his day, they were allowed to wear gold lace on their stable jackets, which they purchased themselves.This practice he stopped; the men could not afford it, they had be tter spend their money on their families ; the same principle made him change the gold-lace cap of the corporal.He invented a cap for the men\u2014gave directions as to pipeclaying their belts\u2014did away with that pest to the soldier, burnishing.Instead of having the saddlery covered with soap, he had it kept clean and periodically \u201c dubbed.\u201d In the simplest department, he organized and improved.But his great work was a codification of the duties of every rank in the regiment.Until his time there was no fixed rule.\u201c Contrary to standing orders\u201d was an expression often in the mouth of men in authority ; but it had no meaning.These standing orders were a mere myth, conveniently, as in those days for many.This book is written concisely, yet fully explanatory on all points.It is unknown, for it was published privately in this city, by Armour & Ramsay, thirteen years ago, aud distributed in tbe Regiment We question much if the copies are not nearly all lost ; for with the modesty of General Cathcart, it -was confined entirely to those for whose use it was written.And that it should be a text book, it was put into the hands of the private as well as the commissioned officer : one copy was left in the guard-room, one in the orderly room, one in the hospital, one in the school-room, one sent to each troop.Every officer had one, and as there were but 200 or 300 copies published, it is very possible that they may all have disappeared.With a very distinct recollection of its contents, the writer affirms that there are few military works which can be studied so profitably ; and if these lines meet the eye of any high in power at the Horse Guards, he would add, that it would be an act of the greatest public benefit to publish these standing orders for the use of the whole British army.A civilian could study them with great profit, for they are indicative of the man ; the pervading principle is a high sense of duty, that each rank should fulfil the trust delegated to it ; then, that trust was defined, and the mode of fulfilment pointed out.To the humble he held out a hope; he encouraged and cheered on by his written words, as he did in the bright example of his own pure life.He warned them, as his own children, and made them know, however ranks may differ, happiness is in the reach of all.To those rising in the profession, he dwelt forcibly on the urgent need of self-control and exertion ; to those higher in authority, he inculcated the necessity of example and propriety of life.With some limited reading, we venture to say that this book, privately published, thousands of miles away from the centre whence radiates promotion, is not surpassed in any language for the felicity with which the subject is handled ; in every page is the author\u2019s consideratiou for others apparent, and a high sense of duty is blended with the purest common sense and the greatest professional skill.Nor must we omit his own peculiar way of manceuvring cavalry.Although a thorough dragoon himself, he was conversant with all the habits and particular feelings of the class.With him, as a Commander, where would not Cavalry have gone ?What would they not have done?A small pamphlet published by him on the subject, written as usual for private circulation, is a master-piece of the kind.He did away with the word \u2018 canter\u201d as only fit for the manege ; he made regulations for fencing parties ; introduced a movement for troops to pass uneven ground, called \u201cright of threes to the front file\u201d, and handled them with an astonishing facility, Only those in command of the three, Frontier Troops, know the interest and care that he took in their formation : and he was well repaid for the admirable and efficient corps they became.Indeed for their particular duties there was no better in the world.We allude to the troops of Captains Sweeney, Jones aud Ermatinger.One of his first objectious was a Canteen, and at Chambly he opened a room where the mess-man was permittted to sell bread, butter, cheese, &c., and beer only.It was thus he endeavoured to prevent drunkenness, but the inspecting officers felt it to be their duty to interfere, and started a garrison canteen at Chambly much to his annoyance, compelling him to close the little regimental shop which he had started.He remonstrated, but the regulations of the service placing this matter out of the control of the commanding officer, his arrangements were changed, and, it is almost needless to add, for the worse.During the whole period of Sir George Cath-cart\u2019s stay in Canada, he took much interest in the development of the resources of the Province\u2014he was one of the Commissioners of the Chambly Plank Road\u2014which was nearly the first of this eharaeter built in the country.With considerable knowledge of engineering, he superintended the whole work.It was in these days that the Governmental departments were newly formed, and it became necessary to determine their routine ; and, consequently, from time to time circulars were sent round to those whose experience made it desirable to have a record of their opinions.In all these oases, Colonel Cathcart was consulted\u2014in all he replied, bestowing great labor and thought to the questions submitted.We had intended to have alluded to his further career, but our space warns us that this communication has extended beyond ordinary limits.\u2014 That the life of this distinguished man will be written, we feel sure\u2014and then the more prominent points in his career will be detailed.His successful termination of the war at the Cape of Good Hope is fresh in every one\u2019s memory\u2014a remarkable general order issued by him was republished in this country\u2014and it was only typical of the energy which was a part of his nature.In person, General Cathcart was tall, about 5 feet 11 inches, and slim\u2014his face waSjCharaeter-ized by thoughtfu.ness and intellect\u2014the eye being a marked feature.In the Waterloo Banquet, he is represented entering the door\u2014he excelled in all the manly sports\u2014he was a splendid horseman, and swordsman\u2014a good curler, and a keen sportsman.His feats on the frontier are yet remembered.In the depth of winter, once on a trail of a deer, be never abandoned it till he obtained the venison, and night after night would he camp out auhmitiing to every privation.His peculiarities were few\u2014altho\u2019 aman of extremely temperate habiis, he was a great smoker.In shaving, he never used a looking-glass\u2014-and in his hunting exhibitions would perform his ablutions with snow.He never wore a moustache.In manner he was the kindest and most gentle of men\u2014a hundred anecdotes are told of his urbanity\u2014which nothing could disturb ; even his reproofs were delivered in a most kind and feeling manner.On one occasion, the Officers gave a ball, and the men gathered round the windows to see the company arrive.A young cornet noticed, and pointed it out to the Colonel, and said that the men seemed to enjoy it.\u201c Do they I\u201d was the response, \u201c then tell tbe orderly trumpeter to sound watchsetting an hour later.\u201d A man came before him and said he could not understand his accounts\u2014tbe Colonel went through the whole proceeding to explain the system.\u2014 The man was stiil puzzled.\u201c You do not understand ?\u201d said Colonel Cathcart.\u201c No 1 Colonel,\u201d rejoined the man ; but, since you say so \u2014\u201c it is all right.\u201d \u201cOh\u201d no, said the Colonel\u2014\u201cit is my duty to make you understand, and he went over again the same ground.\" Often as he returned from a field day, when he was pleased with the steadiness of the regiment, he would send out an orderly and get some beer and a mug \u2014and drinking first a glass himself, \u201c every one in the regiment fyled past and drank his tot\u2014 officer and man; his conduct to prisoners, was peculiar, he listened attentively to all that was said\u2014and then his reproof\u2014often severe\u2014was tempered with kindness.One special instance recurs to the writer.The news of the birth of the Prince of Wales being received, he turned out the whole regiment\u2014gave three cheers\u2014and orderded every man a glass of grog\u2014the guard included.That night at the inspection\u2014on the second port, two men were drunk on guard.\u2014 They were brought before the Colonel the following day, he pointed out that their crime was no ordinary one, and that if he strictly did his duty, he would try them by a Court Martial\u2014but he blamed himself he had given them liquor when on duty, and encouraged them to seek for more ; he, therefore, would punish them more mildly than he otherwise would have done.The predominating feature of Colonel Cath-eart\u2019s character was a sense of duty.In him this was paramount to every consideration\u2014 otherwise unselfish\u2014his very excellencies were made more perfect by this pervailing feeling, and it was apparent in every act of his life.It was impossible to be near him, without feeling the deep chivalrous honor which was always on the surface, which colored every thought, aud gave a tone to his whole conduct.Calm, dignified, without thought of danger, he was equal to any emergency.His modesty could not hide his merits\u2014with unaffected literary toils, with extended general knowledge, with industry for the most engrossing sedentary pursuits.In the field he was the keenest sportsman, the most active far-sighted general, a daring, dashing trooper, a model of a sabreur.Nothing could daunt his spirit, no labor fatigue his industry, no disappointment in the career of men check his catholic goodness of heart towards his fellows.To those having intimate relations and seeing him daily, the proportions of his goodness sensibly dilated.He was, indeed, a chevalier cans pewr ti sllus TU/ppVOCtic.Not on© net of Ills life but was one of duty and feeling, and in this career of ostentatious goodness he had no reward beyond that which sprung up in his own heart.These were neither fame nor profit, so far as the world knew, and if it came, and doubtless come it did, it was in that peace which pas-seth understanding.To the last this sense of duty guided him.Just returned from the Cape of Good Hope, where he performed such good service, appointed to the lucrative and honorable office of Adjutant General, he had every temptation to pass his last days in quiet had his inclinations been in that direction.With no disrespect to the gallant officer at the head of that department, and totally independently of the fate of Gen.Cathcart, we regret much that such was not the case.His knowledge of the service would have worked great and beneficial reforms, and his changes would have been introduced so gently that the improved machinery would have been discovered before the change in the motive power had been apparent.But it pleased God that it should be otherwise, and his death has consummated the principle of his life.Even here its moial will have force.Let that wide circle of mourners in the four continents, where he served his country and the world so gloriously and faithfully, put this to their heart and dry the tears which fall unbidden as his fate is told and let us reverently pray that \u201cafter life\u2019s fitful fever he sleeps well !\u201d I cannot but feel how very imperfect is this poor and hastily-written tribute to the memory of a great and good man, but I can say that at least it is sincere.Knowing all his worth end excellence, his unconquerable spirit and immense mental resources, strange as it may be to many, I look upon his death as a greater loss to the besieging force than even the casualties in the Light Cavalry Brigade in their extraordinary, and in its results unfortunate, charge.The value of such a mau cannot be computed, and from my list of living great men a void is made which never, never can be filled, however worthily the mantle may fall on his successor.He was, indeed, one -Sapiens, sibique imperiosus ; Quern neque pauperies, neque moro, neque vincula terrent; Responsare cupidinibus, contemnere honores Fortes; et in se-ipso totus teres atque rotundus, Extern! ne quid valeat per leve

tern, of the Senate, in the place of David R.Atchison of Missouri, from whom a letter was received, announcing his inability to be in Washington before the week after next.\u2014 The Senate agreed to continue the Standing Committees of last session.A resolution of Senator Weller was passed, requesting the President to communicate copies of the instructious and correspondence between the departments and Major-General Wool, respecting the operations of his division of the army, on the Pacific Coast.In the House, notice was given of two bills respecting foreigners ; tbe first by Mr.Taylor of Tennesee, to modify or repeal the national alien laws ; the other by Mr.Sellers of Maryland, to exclude all persons, not native-born, from the army and navy and to prevent pauper immigration.The resolution offered, on Monday, by Mr.Sellers, calling on the President for the objects of the recent conference of the American Ministers at Ostend and its results, and whether it was held in obedience to the instructions of the State Department, occupied the attention of the House until its adjournment, giving rise to an interesting and exciting debate.No vote was taken on the resolution, but an amendment, offered by Mr.Bayly of Virginia, referring it to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, was negatived by a vote of 84 to 83.\u2014N.Y.Journal of Commerce, Wednesday.Island Pond, Vermont.\u2014A friend writing to us from Island Pond, says, \u201c It is an interesting fact, in regard to the climate of Northern Vermont, to notice that the depth of snow that has fallen here is far less than in the neighbourhood of the White Mountains, There was but six inches here, while a depth of fifteen inches was found at Gorham.\u201c This embryo city is going ahead finely.\u2014

evening in Committee of Supply, aud passed througb tne whole of the votes of supply for the Public Works ; only one item was altered, that for the Quebec Post Office, from £9,000 to £5,000, by consent of the Ministry, it appearing that there was siill an unexpended appropriation on hand of £4,000.One division took place upon the item of £4,000 for repairing of the Durham Terrace, Quebec.Mr.Brown opposed this vote, and Mr.Robinson, though he said be would not vote against it, as the money was spent ; declared he could not tell how it was possible to have laid out so much money on the work, which besides not only had not been sanctioned by Parliament, but never would have been sanctioned by them had it been brought before them.The vote was carried by a majority of 32 to 17.In the course of the evening Mr.Lyons stated that certain water powers at tbe Chatts Canal on the Ottawa, had been given away to Messrs.Egan, McLaucblan, and others, without any payment, but on Mr.Chabot\u2019s affirming that the water was disposed of on the same terms, as that at Bytown, Mr.Lyon stated, that at both places the persons who had acquired the water works of the Government paid £5 per run ot stones, but at Bytown they had also paid for the land adjoining, while at the Chatts, they had paid nothing; in proof of which be produced the printed report of the Commissioner of public works, and showed that while £400 was set against the names of the Bytown purchases as payment from them, nothing was put down to the purchasers at the Chatts, after passing through the various items of the board of works\u2019 estimate the House, received the report of the Committee of the whole upon certain resolutions proposed by Mr.Drummond in reference to the Montreal Harbor.(Mr.Hincks strongly opposed that one relating to the constitution of the Commission, alleging that, though he approved of Mr.Young\u2019s plan, including that for the docks, he thought the proposal of Mr.Drummond to constitute the Commission by allowing the Board of Trade to choose 3 members and the Government to appoint 2, was exeeediigly vicious in principle.The Harbor ought to be a local work, or if not, wholly a Government one.He then went on to say that the Government, while he was premier, had agreed that the Commission should consist of 5 members, 2 to be appointed by the Board of Trade, 2 by the Corporation, and these 4 to choose (another.This had given satisfaction to all; but it appeared everything must yield before Mr.Young.In short, the Government were a pack of whipped spaniels, that was the whole of it.Mr.1/rummond said that the proposal spoken of by Mr.Hincks had been made with a view to prevent the carrying out of Mr.Young\u2019s plan for docks without the consent of the citizens, but that was given up, and though he was quite ready ,to give the citizens a voice on the management of the Harbour, he thought it would be very unwise to risk the loss of the services of Mr.Young who had effected so much for Lake St.Peter, at least, until that work was completed.The resolutions were finally carried, leaving out that relating to the Commission.The House sits to-morrow instead of to-day, this being a fête day.The Select Committee of the Legislative Council, to which the Seigniorial bill was referred, have gone through a great many of its clauses to-day.In the telegraphic

report has lately been made by Walter Shanly, -Esq., a distinguished Engineer, of a railway project which may very properly be said to be a continuance of the Grand Trunk (Canada) Railway into the Western States as far as Prairie du Chien.This report has been published at Toronto (Canada), and the scheme is looked upon there as got up under the patronage of tbe Grand Trunk Company.The projected railway commences near the point where the Grand Trunk terminates, at Port Huron, opposite Sarnia; crossing the Peninsula of Nothern Michigan to Grand Haven, on Lake Michigan, which is to be crossed by steamer to Milwaukee ; whence the railway is to be produced to Prairie du Chien, on the Mississippi.Here it is to terminate for the present ; but it is regarded as \u201c a link in the artery which is to connect the shores of the Atlantic with those of the Pacifie.\" The report is accompanied by two maps, one of which shows the routes from Europe through Canada to the Western States, with the relative distances between British and American ports.The ocean distances are thus given : From Quebec to Liverpool.miles\t2,680 From Quebec to Galway.miles\t1,800 From New-York to Galway.miles\t2,815 From New-York to Liverpool.miles\t3,073 The ocean distances are very much in favor of Canada ; but the difference is not all gain to the emigrant whose destination is the \u201c far west\u201d ; for at New-York he is considerably nearer Prairie du Chien for instance, than he would be at Quebec.Railway travelling, however, is much more rapid than on the ocean; so that in point of time, and perhaps too of expense, the route through Canada to the Western States when this railroad is built will be preferable to any other.Of course nothing is said about the length of time which the River St.Lawrence, below Quebec, is closed in winter ; nor Quebec once reached by the emigrant, the Grand Trunk line of railway is pointed to as the means of conveying him to the western frontier of the province at Port Sarnia.From Portland, by the Grand Trunk and the Port Huron and Lake Michigan Railways, to Prairie du Chien, the distance is 1,200 miles.The line of the Port Huron and Lake Michigan Railway is about fifty miles north of the Central Michigan, with which it is parallel.The great earnings of the two existing railways which cross Michigan on the southern border of the State and in the same direction as the projected line, are held up as proof that the proposed road would also prove a paying concern.\u2014 The tier of counties to be \" pierced\u201d by this railway in Noribern Michigan, increased in population from 14,418 in 1837, to 65,904 in 1850; and in the assessed value of real and personal estate from $4,444,175 in 1851, to $18,027,492 in 1853, being an increase of $13,538,315 in two years It appears that north of the tier of counties through which tbe road will run, is a country abounding in pine timber.The highest elevation on the route is 300 feet above the surface of Lakes Huron and Michigan, the summit being attained by a gradual ascent of 35 miles from Lake Huron.\u2014 The gradients generally would be 30 feet in the mile ; near Grand Rapids they would be 50 feet.The estimated cost, on a specification similar to that of the Grand Trunk, with Iron bridges, station buildings of stone and bricks,and rail 63 lbs.to tbe yard, is $40,000, or for the entire work, at an assumed length of 200 miles, $8,000,000.\u2014 The engineer estimates the first year\u2019s return from this expenditure at eight per cent, on the outlay.The project is emphatically
