LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY, Thursday, March a, 1855.On the motion of Mr.HoiTON'Tof' correspondence respecting the salary of * Chief Justice Bojven,., Hon.Mr.Cameron thought it would be wéll if Mipisfers would take the occasion to explain the charges whfcfi had been brought.against ope of their, 'colleagues, thé.Speaker of the Legislative Council, respecting the sale of certain stock of a Montreal Mining Company.Attorney-Genei-al Macdonald was glad the hqn.member had alluded to this matter.His lion, colleague had furnished him with a staté-meht of this transaction, which, with the permission of the House, he would read.(Here the hon.gentleman read the statement sent by telegraph).He thought this would be satisfactory to all hon.members.Mr, Rankin thought this explanation hardly satisfactory.Why was it that the hon.gentleman, ifsp'Very sensitive on the point (so much more sensitive than public men bad generally-, been), had taken a price, over the market value at the time.He thought a more satisfactory explanation was still required.Sir Allan McNab did not know what more Could be required.He thought the, explanatory statement full, frank, aud satisfactory.Hpn.J.â.Macdonald badheen surprised at what had appeared in thé Moptreal papers.Why, he would afk, did Mr.MulhoUai.d, who presided over tlie meeting, regret the matter should not be enquired into, and desire concealment, if all were so fair, and honorable, and proper.Those who brought the matter .before the country should add their explanations.He thought the matter should go before what was generally known as the Corruption Committee, and évidence taken in the matter.\t., Mr, Holton was cognizan t qf some of the facts, and believed thé statement of, the honorable Speaker was a plain unvarnisheq relation of the facts ; but, he thought an explanation was due from thé honorable Provincial Secretary, who was a Director of the Company at the time.He was satisfied that no publie map in this country would sacrifice his honorVpk such for a paltry sum of £100 or £200.Mr.Cartier explained the affair, corroborat-ing.the honorable Mr.Ross\u2019s statement.That honorable gentleman did not know that the Company was buying his stock.He supposed he was selling it to an individual, not a company, afthe market rate.-Under the then prevailing terror px corruption, he had taken care not to inform, but tp lef him feel unfettered* Hon.Mr.Gameron thought the statement sa-tisfpetory, and if the assertions' were called in question, and any of these accusations reiterated, the hon.gentleman accused would bring the matter befor.ea court of justice, in, order that an example might be made.It was time some steps were taken to defend the character, of public men against, tbe aspersions too generally, and on too slight grounds, cast upon them.CLEEGY: RESERVES ACT.Mr.Brown moved his resolution respecting the Glér£y Reserves G-ommutation; already sent by telegraph.He said he was not desiraiis of reopening the'agitation onthis*sûbjectout of doors, 01 causing irritating debates in the House.He desired to m>ike the act à finality, and for that purpose that time might be got to amend it, and set the matter at rest for ever.He had thought, when the bill was before the House, that it was dangerous to triist so much to a -Ministry made hp-ih so great a measure of men who had opposed-secularization throughout their lives.It was then-a great point of objection by-him that thé commutation clauses were not sufficiently definite.They enacted, indeed, that the amount was to be calculated on the probable lives of the clergy at six per cent., but tbej1 left a wide discretionary power of Ministers' as to the manner, of payment, &c.If calculated now on the pr.o-bàble lives of therfdergy of the Church of England and Scotland, the commutation money put together, and judiciously invested, would give as large an hnnual siim n perpetuity as was now received by them.If tins- weré permitted, it.would give rise to heartburnings again.They were not bound either in equity or by the Imperial Act to give to give these advantages to these, bodies ; they were only hoimd to pay individuals theif-stipends.This portion of the measure thus carried into effect would defeat-one of the main objects of the supporters of secularization-\u2014the full operation hereafter of the voluntary system.There Was a strong feeling' against it -in Upper Cauaila, both amuxig Lihornic :inrl Conservatives.They were necessarily acting in the dark in this nfatter; they did not know what'.negotiations wefe going on with the Government on the subject ; but, at all events, the proposed address could do mb harm.He understood, however, from the correspondence laid on the table of the House on Tnjesdfty;-.that, the Government had determined toicoidmute'iwit'hithe'-'seVeral religious .bodies : hot* with' individiials.Attorney General McDonalId said\u2019the honorable member was mistaken.The Government; had decided.to, commute with individuals, but only with consent of the churehes to which they belonged, else:tbeyumight put the money ih their pockets, ahd e'ease to do theduty for which they received the stipend.Mr.Brown.\u2014In effect it came to the same thing.Many members had voted for, the'bill with the commutation clauses, because they were afraid that, if they did not take that; they could get no bill at all.-The positron was changed now, the bill had became law, and the suspension or repeabof-this part would not -affect! tibe rest.It had been said that be was the author of thèrcommütationsçhemè, and ituvas tine .that an articleion .the subject had appeared in the Globe; but he was absent at the time ; he had never read the.article, and- did not know even noW who wrote it.' Hon.Mr.Spence congratulated the honorable member for Lambton upon-the calm manner in which he had approached the subject.After the denunciations which had'been made out of doors, he had expected some terrible development would be made to-night; but in this he had béen disappointed.He had taken occasion on the second reading of the bill, to say that the great object all should have in view was to finally settle the question, and to that end he sought 1.0 make the measure as perfect-as possible.No other question had caused , so much agitation or suèh bitter feelings in Upper Canada, in every community and Household of the Province, as that, and Ü should- be-the desired)f-all to see such a baneful-, agitation forever set at'rest.Afier he h id joined tbeMinidtry,\u2014made up in part of his old political enemies, but pledged to the settlement of this great question,-\u2014he had gbue .-back to his constituents?; and after meetiagi there the honorable member for Lambton aud the late honorable mediber for South -Wentworth, and others,ahd disettsMing the merits of the\u2019measure in forty-d;if-ferent; meetings, be had- been returned by a\u2019still, larger -majority than before.Now, the honorable member for Lanlbton came down here and told them that1 the settlement was not satisfactory .to \"the country, What proofs had he brought of this statement ?Had they one pétition before them?had one indignation meeting beenj held ?bad any deputation waited on-the Government to remonstrate?They had none Of these evidences of-.dissatisfaction.It all came from honorable gentlemen opposite.If they would but reconcile?themselves to their present position, all would be quiet) but their desire to cross the floor and take - office, actuated them in a renewal pf agitation.There was now none at;all, but what they made; and a memorial from Dr.Hyper and Mr.Freeland of Toronto.He respected both those gentlemen, but'they did not-repfesent the public- opinion of Upper Canada.The honorable member for Lambton had been, busy too, and some ministers of religion.One of these latter had denounced one .of ihe members of that house because he had voted for the bill of the government; but was he,sacrificed by its constituents?No, be was frinmphantly re-elected councillor for his-town shipj and made reeve and warden also.He-ihiad been-taunted with saying thathe would not give for the bill without the edmmutation clause.Wny had he said so ?Because he believed that without such a clause there would be no-finality.And was it nut just if,'as had been admitted by thelfionorable member forfLanfolon, the incumbents had a life interestrin.their stipends,1 that th.ey.ahduld be allowed to-dispose ot it?Nay, \u2019ithey would do-so at aa-ihsurance office, if the government did not give'them facilities'.The honp(able member 'hadqfluled.isVhen the- bill was under discussion to-p'topnsehany better method of adjustifig the affaire-!

for having nothing of the Jefferson Brick in our composition, we frankly confess that we were startled\u2014perhaps even a little alarmed\u2014with the long martial array of horse, foot and artillery, which its mere perusal pictured so vividly upon the retina of our mind\u2019s eye.We asked ourself, can there be any reasonable grounds for all this costly military and naval preparation for the defence of our country from foreign aggression ?Who are our enemies and whence arises the danger ?\u2014 Calm reflection has only strengthened our first impression of this, in our eyes, most extraordinary document ; and, until we have some better evidence of the necessity of the case than we have as yet been able to discover\u2014and, even if the danger he proved to exist, of the constitutional propriety and justice of the people of Canada being specially taxed for the defences of the Empire\u2014we shall, most assuredly, raise our voice in protest against the adoption by our Legislature of, what appears to us to be, an underhand and insidious attempt to induce the country to assume the burden of maintaining a standing army, with all its costly machinery and demoralizing influences.We say an underhand and insidious attempt, by taking an unworthy advantage of the wide-spread sympatbyof the people of Canada with the cause of the Allies in the present war, to trick them out of their rights and induce them voluntarily to assume burdens which, as dependent colonists, cannot be forced upon them and never ought to be borne by them We take it for granted that no British or Canadian statesman will venture to deny that the very anchor and foundation of the \u201c sort of connection\u201d\u2014as the London Times not long since called it\u2014which still binds us politically to Great Britain, is the obligation on the part of the Metropolitan Government to defend the national territory, in every part of the world, from aggression on the part of the national enemy.It follows, then, that the people of Canada cannot be justly or constitutionaUy taxed to the extent of one shilling, towards the expense of defending the territory of Canada from foreign invasion.If this, the most important\u2014the almost only remaining important feature in the constitutional compact between Great Britain and Canada is about to be annulled, and if, for the future, Canada is to be burdened not only with the cost of a Militia force, for the maintenance of Her Majesty\u2019s authority within the colony, but also of a standing army and navy for its defence against foreign invasion\u2014why, the sooner this practical revolution in our system of government is officially and formally announced to the people the better.When the principle is so formally announced, it .«will be time enough for the people of Canada to consider what steps it is for their interest to adopt for their own defence, should they believe themselves in danger of being invaded ; but until it is so formally announced, we trust, they will never consent to any system such as that recommended in this Report, under the specious title of a \u201cVolunteer Force,\" but which in reality could be nothing more nor less than a standing army and navy.\u2014 We care not what may be the cost of such a force\u2014although we have good reasons for believing that it would greatly exceed the estimates of the Commissioners and, instead of £25,000) would certainly reach £50,000 a year\u2014for, however trifling that cost might, in the first instance, be in comparison with our public revenue, the principle once adopted of the liability of the people of Canada to defend their portion of the Empire against the enemies of the Empire, and it would be impossible to calculate the ruinous results it would entail upon our people.But, we suppose, we shall be told by our present rulers, \u201c There is no principle in the matter\u2014all we ask for is, that you will, by the establishment of a «mall army and navy, relieve the mother-country, in her present hour of peril, from the necessity of garrisoning Canada\u2014look to the Crimea and tell us, will you desert your kith and kin in their glorious struggle for the liberties of mankind?\u201d We reply, the Legislature and people of Canada have abundantly testified their sympathy with the allies in the present war, and, should circumstances call for -it, there can be no reason for doubting their willingness to double or quadruple their \u201c votes in aid\u201d; but, if this war is to be made the pretence for revolutionizing our system of government, burdening us with the cost of defending Canada in time of war, and demoralizing our people in the time of peace with the presence of a standing army assuredly we must call a halt.The concentration of the whole power and patronage of the Government in the hands of any clique of officeholders, who, per fas aut nefas\u2014by fair or foul means\u2014can secure a majority in the House of Assembly, is an evil which every day assumes more gigantic proportions ; but if those who are striving to correct this evil by peaceful and constitutional reforms, are so blind to the inevitable consequences as to strengthen the hands of the Executive with the enormously increased power and patronage recommended in this report\u2014we shall not venture to predict the result, but the \u201c beginning of the end\u201d of the Canadian \u201c transcript\u201d will, undoubtedly, have arrived.We repeat, the establishment of a colonial standing army and navy, for the defence of the national territory against foreign invasion, would not only be sowing the seed of revolution and separation from the Empire, but would be attended with greater evils to the people of Canada than could arise from any mere change in their form of Government.We do not believe any more effectual machinery for corrupting and demoralizing our population could possibly be devized ; and we trust, therefore (as Sir Allan McNab is reported to have said, in announcing to the House of Assembly his intention of introducing a Bill in which the recommendations contained in this report will be embodied), that the members of the legislature, without reference to temporary circumstances or mere party prejudices and predilections, will view the measure in all its bearings, moral, political and financial, ere they assume the responsibility of sanctioning the commencement of a system which, in our view, is fraught with the most disastrous consequences to our .country.We have confined our observations upon this project of transferring the defence of the national territory from the Imperial to the Colonial Government, to its political and moral influences upon our people, without reference to its efficiency in a military point of view.Without affecting any knowledge of the science of military defences, however, we cannot .help thinking that, costly though it must be to us, so comparatively trifling a force stationed along so extended a frontier, while it might provoke hostilities on the iP^t of our neighbours, would be found utterly useless and unavailing in the event of war.War, we are well aware, is sometimes inevitable\u2014it is Cuba and the United States.\u2014The following extracts from the correspondence between Mr.Secretary Marcy and Mr.Soulé, late U.S.Minis-\u2022er at Madrid, will repay perusal\u2014it is evident that the Washington authorities entirely disapproved of Mr.Soulé\u2019s arrogant pretensions in reference to United States claims upon ihe Spanish Government :\u2014 Mr.Soulé to Mr.Marcy.\u2014(Extract.) [No.12.] Legation of the United States, ) Madrid, May 3, 1854.j Sir :\u2014Col.E.Y.Sumner, who arrived here on the 24th ult., delivered into my hands the full power authorizing me to negotiate with the Government of Her Catholic Majesty for the cession to the United States of the Island of Cuba, and the instructions by which it is the wi«h of the President that I should be guided to the discharge of that grave and important trust.Although the difficulties pending between this country and our own may notallow me for the present to approach any person in authority, or with influence in the Government councils, touching so delicate a subject, I can but think that the developments which they are likely to make, will afford me in the end the very best opportunity for bringing this question to a fair test, and my chances of success to a decisive trial.The utter indifference and unconcern with which Spain looks upon our grievances, seem to indicate a purpose on her part to ascertain how far she can with impunity taunt and insult us.She certainly needs to be taught that there are limits to our powers of endurance.Let her but receive a good lesson this time, qpd be sure she will wake up from her slumber, and lend a more docile ear to the voice of reason.What has induced this country to decline coming at once to a definite resolve with reference to the affair of the Black Warrior, is already most apparent.It has not been able to persuade itself that we are serious in our demands.Among other things, the slowness of Congress to take up and act upon the recommendations of the President\u2019s message, of March 15th, has emboldened it to resist us.Nor can it be expected to move until it sees some further evidence of our determination to enforce the cons! deration of our demands.It still insists on the want of sufficient data to enlighten its judgment, though at the same time it has ample information to enable it to bind and pervert the conscience of the Spanish people concerning this affair.On the same day that Mr.Snmner reached Madrid the Heraldo newspaper, the organ of the present Cabinet, came out with a labored and most false and perverted statement of the facts in the whole transaction, closing with the remark, that \u201c the committee on foreign relations continued to be mute on the subject of the President\u2019s message.\u201d In order to counteract in some measure the effect which so significant a suggestion was intended to produce, knowing that no article embodying a true statement or the case would be allowed to appear, I procured to be inserted in the Clamor Publico, the following day, a simple notice, of which the following is a translation : \u201cYesterday arrived at this Court, Mr.Sumner, colonel of dragoons of the active army of the United States, with despatches of the greatest importance for the American Minister.His mission, it appears, is secret, and of so much interest that he will return immediately to Washing- ton with the answer of Mr.Soulé.\u201d The newspaper, however, was immediately stopped by the supercilious censor of the press, and the notice ordered to be stricken out before it could be allowed to issue.I succeeded, however, in getting a Spanish translation of the letter of \u201c Charles Tyng & Go.,\u201d of Havana, dated March 1, to the proprietors of the Black warrior, in New York, to appear in yesterday\u2019s number of the same newspaper.This, however, is represented as the interested and unreliable account of the parties in fault\u2014 not at all to be considered in comparison with the same official statement before alluded to.In this letter it is boldly charged that \u201c an officer of the custom house delivered.to the Captain (Bullock) the printed sheet of the rules and obligations to which he ought, like all others, to submit himself, printed in Spanish, English and French, and of which he gave a receipt, and in spite of which neither he nor the consignee was willing to make any addition, during the legal term, to the fraudulent manifest which had been presented at first, although they have since wished to say, with notorious falsity, that they endeavor to do so in time, and that they were not permitted'\u201d I have beared nothing more of M.Calderon since I have sent him my note of the 20th ult.My Opinion is that be intcuds to keep silent until it shall be seen what course Congress will see fit to pursue.*\t*\t*\t*\t» I have the honor to remain, with the highest respect, Sir, your obedient seivant, Pierre Sodle.Mr.Soule to Mr.Marcy.\u2014[Extract.] Legation of the United States, ?Madrid, May 24, 1854.\t) ****\u201e*** * I cannot persuade myself that there is anything serious in this warlike demonstration.Spain is without means of her own credit to follow it up, and will not I am sure, commit herself lightly in a struggle against us.But she has clearly no fear that the policyjsuggested by the President\u2019s message to Congress will be carried out, and hence the resistance which she now opposes to our just demands.She considers beside, that in remitting the fine for which the owners of the Black Warrior have so submissively craved mercy, she has done as much as could be required of her justice, or even expected from her magnani- ty.Her Government already revels in the triumph which it anticipates achieving over us on this occasion.Most anxiously, for my own part, do I await to know what resolve Congress will-have come to, as I could not think for a moment to retain a post, from whence I would have to behold the contemptuous insolence which my discomfiture and that of the administration would be so sure to provoke.I have the honor to be, Sir, your obedt.servt., Pierre Soule.Mr.Marcy to Mr.Soule.[No.2?.]\tDepartment of State Washington, Nov, 13,1854.Sir The communication of the 18th ult, embodying the views of yourself, Mr.Buchanan, and Mr.Mason, upon embarrassing relations with Spain, has been received and submitted to the President.He has given to that document the deliberate consideration due alike to the importance of the subject therein discussed, and to the experience, wisdom and ability of those whose;opinions and suggestions it contains.When he first entered upon the duties of his present station, he found our intercourse with Spain much disturbed by the Spanish authorities of Cuba.It has been his anxious desire and the object of his strenuous efforts to preserve peace and restore cordial good-will between that country and the United States.The source of our past difficulties with Spain and of our apprehensions of future danger is disclosed in the report of yourself and associates.\u2014The measure therein presented\u2014the purchase of Cuba\u2014is probably the only one which would with certainty place the relations of the two countries on the basis of enduring friendship.' While the Island of Cuba remains a dependency of Spain, and the character of her rule over it is not changed\u2014and a change for the better can hardly be anticipated\u2014annoyance to our trade and difficulties between our citizens and the local authorities will be of frequent occurrence, and it is scarcely reasonable to expect that a peace thus renderedjprecarious will remain long unbroken.Conceiving that the transfer of Cuba totheJUni-ted States on the honorable conditions you have been instructed to offer would be as important to her as to them, it was hoped that you would find Her Catholic Majesty\u2019s Goveinment disposed to receive and discuss a proposition foi that purpose.The President desires you to keep this important object of your mission in view, and to enter upon négociations in relation to it whenever a favorable opportunity occurs.It is no longer, 1 believe, a secret in Spain that the United States wish to obtain the cession, and that you have authority to treat on the subject.The knowledge of these facts will be likely to elicit opinions in regard to that measure, not only from the Ministers of her Catholic Majesty's Government, but from other influential individuals of the nation.The Cortes will soon assemble, and that subject will undoubtedly be discussed, by members of that body in their social circles, if it does not become a subject of public deliberation.By a free and friendly intercourse among official and influential men, you will be enabled to determine the proper course to be pursued in regard to opening a negotiation for the acquisition of Cuba; should you find persons of position or influence disposed to converse on the subject, the considerations in favor of a cession are so many and so strong that those who can be brought to listen would very likely become converts to the measure.But should you have reason to believe that the men in power are averse te entertaining snch a proposition, that the offer of it would be offensive to the national pride of Spain, and that it would find no favor in any considerable class of the people, then it will be too evident that the time for opening or attempting to open such a negotiation has not arrived.It appears to the President that nothing could be gained, and something might be lost, by an attempt to push négociations against such a general resistance.This view of the case is taken on the supposition that you should become convinced that such a proposition for the cession of Cuba would certainly be rejected.The language of some part of the report might perhaps be so construed as to sustain the inference that you and your associates in the conference were of opinion that the proposition should be made, though there should be no chance of its being entertained, and that it should be accomplished with the open declaration of a significant suggestion that the United States were determined to have the island, and would obtain it by other means, if their present advances, so advantageous, be refused by Spain \u2014but other parts of the report repel this inference.The remark in that document that if Spain should refuse these proposals of the United States \u201c the question will arise, what ought to be the course of the American Government under such circumstances,\u201d clearly shows that it was intended by yourself and colleagues to recommend to the President to offer to Spain the alternative of cession or seizure.The conclusion that the members of the conference were against such an alternative proposition is also drawn from the following passage : \u201cAfter we shall have offered Spain a price for Cuba, far beyond its present value, and this shall have been refused, it will then be time to consider the question : 1 Does Cuba, in possession of Spain, seriously endanger our internal peace, and and the existence of our cherished Union?\u2019\u201d\u2014 The President concurs in this view of the subject, but to conclude that in case of the rejection of a proposition to cede, seizure should ensue, would be to assume that self-preservation necessitates the acquisition of Cuba by the United States\u2014that Spain has refused, and will persist in refusing, our reclamations for injuries and wrongs inflicted, and that she will make no ar-, rangement for our future security against the recurrence of similar injuries and wrongs.As to the first considerations, I will only remark that the acquisition of Cuba by the United States would be pre-eminently advantageous in itself, and of the highest importance as a precautionary measure of security.However much we might regret the want of success in our efforts to obtain the cession of it, that failure would not, without a material change in the condition of the island, involve imminent peril to the existence of our Government\u2014but should the contingency suggested in your report ever arise, there is no reason to doubt that the case will be promptly met by the deliberate judgment and decisive action of the American people.* In relation to outrages and injuries, this government have good grounds to complain of the course hitherto pursued by Spain, and should that course be persisted in, it would be justified in resorting to coercive means to obtain redress, but the aspect of this branch of the subject has, however, lately somewhat changed, the present Cabinet of Spain having indicated a more favorable disposition in regard to demands for satisfaction and indemnity than that which preceded it.I do not attach much importance to the recent Offer on the part of Spain to institute a commission to settle all existing claims, such as now exists between the United States and Great Britain, because some of these claims are of such a character as self-respect would not permit us to admit ro arbitrament in any form.You are, therefore, instructed to decline that offer.But as to the most aggravated as well as the most recent case of outrage and injury\u2014that of the Black Warrior\u2014the door of adjustment can hardly be considered as closed.Although the late Minister of Foreign Relations rejected our demands in that case, the present Minister has clearly indicated a willingness to recede from the position of his predecessor.\u2014 He asked for our views in writing, upon the reply which his goverument had made to our demands, and accompanied his request with an assurance that he would take it into the most serious consideration and act upon it.After refusal to comply with that request, this government would not be in a situation to maintain that Spain persists in denying all satisfaction in the case of the Black Warrior.With his present lights upon the subject, the President\u2019s ooi-nion as to the expediency of presenting to the Spanish Government his views contained in my despatch to you of the 22d of June last, in answer to that reply, remain unchanged.It doss not appear to him that the knowledge of those views can iu any way injuriously affect the negotiations forthe cession of Cuba.But, on the contrary, that case will show to Spain the difficulties she will be exposed to by continuing to maintain the present state of things in that Island, and ought to be a strong inducement for her to yield to the change proposed to be made.There is another point in regard to the case of the Black Warrior, alluded to in your conversation with her Catholic Majesty\u2019s Minister of Foreign Relations on the 29th of August last, upon which the President directs me to express his impressions.Should the Spanish Government propose to settle the case of the Black Warrior, he would not consider the removal of Gen.Pezuela and the other Spanish officers who acted in that affair, as presenting an invincible obstale in the way of adjusting that difficulty.Wheu he directed me to communicate with you on the subject in March last, be assumed that the Spanish Government would feel it to be due to the United States, as well as to Spain, to manifest its displeasure toward its Cuban officials, as soon as it should become aware of their gross misconduct in that case.This reasonable expectation was clearly expressed to you in the despatch of the l?th of March last, but he did not indicate it in any particular manner in which that displeasure should be manifested.In your note to the Spanish Minister of Foreign Relations, presenting the demand of your Government for satisfaction, you specified a par-ticutar mode in which Her Catholic Majesty ought to exhibit her displeasure toward those offending officers, viz : their dismission from office.As this would be a most emphatic manner of manifesting her displeasure at their conduct,, this Government would have been well satisfied to have had it adopted, but the President does not wish you to assume the position that the case cannot now be adjusted in a Manner satisfactory to the United States, if by a change of circnm-otonooo, tkoi, precise mode cannot be literally adopted.There are otner conceivable modes of punishing the official persons who participated in that outrage beside removal from office, which the Government of the United States might honorably accept, if a full satisfaction for the outrage and ample indemnity for injuries and losses were made.The dismissal of the implicated officials at Havana would have been a very appropriate manner of manifesting the displeasure of their government at their misconduct, and would fully meet the President\u2019s expectation iu this respect, but circumstances may so have changed that a strict compliance with the demand, for this particular punishment has now become impossible.In that case another manner of treating these wrong-doers by the Government of Spain, appropriately selected may be satisfactory to the United States.The Minister of Foreign Relations having in apparent good faith, officially declared that Pezuela, the Captain-General, and Arguellis, the Intendant of the Customs, were not removed from their official positions at Havana for the purpose of evading or defeating any part of our claims for redress, the fact of their having been already removed ought not, therefore, in the opinion of the President, to be regarded as presenting an insurmountable obstacle to the adjustment of the ease of the Black Warrior.Should there be others in office who participated in the outrage in that case, it is still expected they will be dismissed for that cause.\u2014 Such trea\u2019ment will be but a slight punishment for their offence, and will have a salutary influence, it is hoped, upon their successors The removal of General Pezuela and' Arguellis, on the assumption that it was not made with a view to embarrass the settlement of that case, does not deprive the Spanish Government of the ability to manifest its displeasure -toward them, for the part they took in that aggravating wrong.Should the Government of Spain recede from the grounds taken in Mr.Calderon\u2019s note to you of the 7th of May last, disapprove of the conduct of the authorities at Havana in the case of the Black Warrior, disavow their acts, show in any appropriate manner its displeasure toward them on that account, and offer full idemnity for the losses and injuries which our citizens sustained in that affair, you will entertain these propositions and signify the willingness of your Government to adjust the case on such terms.\u2014 In that event you will be furnished with proper instructions to bring it to a close.The claimants for compensation of damages for the arrest and detention of the Black Warrior are numerous, and their demands, some of them, are not properly sustained by proof.As Spain has not consented to indemnify them, they have not yet gone to the expense of preparing their respective claims for presentation.It is not expected that Spain will stop at the adjustment of the case of the Black Warrior.Our citizens have many other claims, originating from the conduct of her officials at Cuba, which,in justice and honor, she is also bound to adjnst.These must be pressed upon the attention of her Government, and they will also be prepared for presentation as soon as they can be after it is known that Spain is willing to adjust them.If the cession of Cuba has to be hopelessly abandoned for the present, another very important matter will come up for consideration.The United States have asked, and will most pertinaciously insist upon, some security against the future misconduct of the Spanish authorities at Cuba.Looking to the past, the reasonableness of this demand must be acknowledged by Spain.A compliance with it is but an act of justice to the United States, and of prudent precaution to herself.Giving Spain credit for the sincerity of her repeated and solemn assurances of an intention in all times past to respect the rights of this Government and the interests of our citizens, the failure of all her efforts to effect this object must convince her that there is some inherent defect in her present system of governing Cuba, and that its continuance will unavoidably lead to new difficulties.If Spain persists in maintaining her despotic administration over this dependency, situated so far beyond her immediate supervision, by vesting in her Captain-General powers which have been so often abused, it is incumbent upon her to provide for a direct appeal by the injured citizens of friendly powers to him for redress.There is no local public opinion to exercise a restraining influence over him in cases where foreigners are concerned, and no freedom of the press to expose and animadvert upon his misconduct.In regard to such foreigners, the present arrangement imposes no adequate responsibility upon this officer; and just causes of complaint will continually arise, as they have heretofore arisen, until some change is made in the present system.If the feelings of Spain toward this country are such as she professes\u2014if she desires to perpetuate the relations of peace with the United States\u2014she will yield to our just demands on this suject.\u2014 Direct diplomatic intercourse by an agent of the United States with the Captain-General of Cuba for the mere purpose of presenting grievances will not meet the exigencies of the case.The Captain-General must be under an efficient responsibility to redress the wrongs to our citizens, committed by his subordinates when brought to his notice.I have indicated what ought to be ac.complishe4 by such an arrangement.Should there be no hope of opening a negotiation for the acquisition of Cuba, you will present to the Government of Spain the importance of some arrangement for future security in regard to our trade and intercourse with Guta, and state to her the objects to be secured by it.If she proposes a willingness to make such an arrangement, a plan in detail will be forwarded to you for the purpose of being laid before her Government.In resuming negotiation with Spain, you will in a firm, but respectful manner, impress upon the Ministry that it is the determination of the President to have all the matters in controversy between her and the United States speedily adjusted.He is desirous to have it done by negotiation, and would exceedingly regret that a failure to reach the end he has in view m this peaceful wav should devolve upon, him the duty of recommending a resort to coercive measures to vindicate our national rights, and redress the wrongs of our citizens.I am, sir, respectfully, your ob t aerv.t, \u2019\t\u2019\tW.L.Maroy.Pierre Soulé, Excellency, etc., etc.QUEBEC CORRESPONDENCE OF MONTREAL HERALD.soule\u2019s letter of resignation.Madrid, December 17, 1854.Hon.Win.L.Marcy : Sib\u2014Your despacth of the 13th ult., in reply to mine dated London, 21st of October, and enclosing the joint communication of Messrs.Buchanan, Mason and myself, &c, leaving me no alternative but that of continuing to linger here in languid impotence, or of surrendering a trust which, with the impediments thrown in the way of its execution, I would strive in vain to discharge in a manner satisfactory to the government or creditable to myself, you will not be surprised at the course which a sense of dignity impels me to adopt.I resign my commission of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States near this Court, and beg of the extreme kindness of the President to be retired from duty by the end of January.I have, &c., Pierre Soule.Closing of the Exhibition.\u2014The attendance on Saturday was very numerous.Upon the whole, the exhibition has been eminently successful and, considering the comparatively short time allowed for preparation, extremely creditable to the agricultural and industrial population of our section of Canada.Comparisons are, proverbially, odious, and, unless we are misinformed, Lower Canada will assuredly not fall behind Upper at the Paris Exhibition.Last night, at ten o\u2019clock, the Exhibition was closed in a neat and appropriate speech by His Worship the Mayor.We hope to be able to give the result of the decisions of the Judges to-morrow.A vile and foolish slander.\u2014We translate the following from the last number of la Patrie :\u2014 \u201cWe know from a certain source that a considerable amount was furnished by the Protestant Bible Society ! (in support of M.Préfontaine\u2019s candidature).It is known that this anti-Catholic Society has subsidized in this city not only the Semeur Canadien, but other journals which, without being openly Protestant, are not one whit the more Catholic.\u201d On this groundless and malicious statement, our contemporary le Pays says, on Saturday morning :\u2014 \u201c On pain of being posted as a vile slanderer (.vil menteur) and of being driven from the society of all honest men, M.Alfred Rambeau (Editor of VJlmi du Peuple in 1837 and of la Patrie in 1855) is bound to name his authorities, and to state from whom and where he obtained this famous information.\u201d We need not add that we entirely agree with Le Pays.The author of so vile a falsehood, of so unprincipled an attempt to sow religious discord, bigotry and fanaticism throughout the land, in the hope of reaping a little political capital in support of his patrons in power, should be held up to the scorn and contempt of his fellow-citizens.M.Rambeau is clearly bound to produce his \u201c certain source \u201d\u2014should he refuse to do so, he, of course, renders himself personally responsible for the infamous mendacity of his informant.Indian Mummies.\u2014George C.Bates writes to the Detroit Advertiser that the great mystery among the Savans of the world\u2014to wit : by what process of art or skill in science, the Mummies found in the Pyramids of Egypt have been preserved, and which modern skill has exhausted all its resources in fruitless efforts to analyze, is known on the shores of the Pacific, among the wandering races of the Chinooks and the Flat-heads.These rude savages understand and practice this art with as much success as attended the efforts of the ancient Egyptians.Mr.Bates says :\u2014 At the famous depository for the farmers of California, on Montgomery street, are two specimens which are well calculated to arouse the attention of the reflecting, and to show how intimate, after all, are the relations of the past and the future.The former of these is a Flat-head mummy, found in his canoe on the shores of Puget Sound, in a perfect state of preservation.Those who have seen the Egyptian mummy, would be utterly astonished at the exact similitude, save the confirmation of the subject.The forehead of the skull has been evidently depressed by outward mechanical appliances, but in all else, it is the mummy of the Pyramid, in a perfect state of preservation.The eye balls \u201e\u201e .om luumi unner the lid ; the teeth, the muscles and tendons perfect, tne veins inje.\u2014j with some preserving liquid, the bowels, stomach and liver dried up, but not decayed, all perfectly preserved.The very blanket that entwines him, made of some threads of bark, and saturated with a pitchy substance, is entire.The inner canoe in which he was found had entirely decayed, and the outer one was nearly gone, yet the body is evidently just as it was prepared by the embalmer ; and although exposed now to the open air, it shows no sign of decomposition.It would seem as if prepared for all coming time.Where ihese wanderers of the desert learned this art, is a query over which the wise may ponder ; and those who are skilled in such things will find food for thought inthis strange specimen, picked up near the disputed boundary on our western frontier.The Almoner of the Irish poor gratefully acknowledges the receipt of the sum of one hundred and thirty-two dollars, for the St.Patrick\u2019s Orphan Asylum, being the nett proceeds of the late Soirée of the Young Men\u2019s Ht.Patrick\u2019s Association.Quebec, March 9th, 1855.The affair of the Returning Officers still drags its slow length along.Mr.Hudon came up tonight, and Sir Allan McNab\u2019s resolution respect-ing him, of which you have had notice, being withdrawn, evidence was heard and it was postponed.In the course of the evening Mr.J.S.McDonald brought up a subject, in which you have incidentally some considerable interest.He called attention to the fact that papers and documents of considerable legislative interest and upon which Legislative action was hereafter to be invited, had been forwarded by post and actually appeared in newspapers before they were laid on the table of the House ; so that at a time when the Government had this information ready to communicate it kept the House out of possession of it, sometimes for several days, in order that private individuals and private interests might be favored.He mentioned particularly the Agricultural Report, and the Militia Report.Mr.Galt made similar complaints, and mentioned that last session, aPer a report, I think of the Committee of accounts, had been laid on the table, members of the House were refused copies by the printer, while other persons had them handed to them.Sir Allan McNab said he knew nothing about it, IT MUST REST WITH THE PRINTER.For my own part, I have reason to believe that the printer is very unjustly accused by the Premier of an act that would, if committed, have been a gross breach of privilege as well as of confidence.However, wherever the leak has been, it is certain that papers have been in some way purposely kept back from the House, when they might have been presented, in order that one or two journalists should have an advantage over their competitors.I have known something of Parliaments for some years, and I never yet knew anything of the sort done before.The House must be very tame-spirited if it will remain without the most important papers printed, for instance, as one that I know of must have been on Wednesday night last, until the Monday following, in order that the Montreal Gazette should republish it before the Herald, and other journals of Montreal, and the Leader be in advance of its Toronto competitors.The object is certainly very small for so grave a slight to the House; for it is to be again observed that it is not that individuals have had the papers in advance, but the House in arrear.Of course, I blame no journalist for using his best efforts to get interesting information as early as possible, and in any lawful way ; and I have, therefore, said nothing heretofore.about a rather vexatious private injustice; but members of the House, having themselves taken notice of the method in which the public interest has been seriously postponed to a very paltry private interest, it is only fair to the Herald and other newspapers to explain that official favor, somewhere or other, has been the origin of what may have been taken for the result of superior activity.I send you herewith a copy of the communication of the French Secretary of State to Lord Cowley, the English Ambassador at Paris, acknowledging the receipt of the Canadian resolution accompanying the grant of £20,000 :\u2014 Monsieur 1\u2019Ambassadeur,\u2014I have received the letter with which your Excellency has done me the favor to transmit to me a copy of the Address voted by the Legislative Council and Legislative Assembly of Canada, for the purpose of presenting to her Britannic Majesty their congratulations on the victory gained on the Alma by the allied armies, and of intimating their intention to contribute to the fund for the relief of the widows and orphans of the soldiers, sailors, and marines belonging to the combined forces of France and England engaged in the present war.While anxious to hasten this expression of my thanks, my lord, I cannot refrain from communicating to you how deeply the Government of the Emperor has been affected by this testimonial so expressive of their sympathy, which the inhabitants of Canada have thought fit to offer to the soldiers who are bravely supporting the honor of the flags of Great Britain and France in the Crimea.It is with the highest pleasure that we witness the spectacle of one sympathetic demonstration, embracing at once both fleets and both armies, and that we hear the sentiments of mutual friendship and esteem, which already attach the latter, so strongly here re-echoed from beyond the Atlantic.While I accept then with deep gratitude, in the name of the government of the Emperor, that portion transmitted by Canada to the allied armies, I have the honor to inform your Excellency, that I am prepared to receive, whenever you consider it expedient to remit it to me, the £10,000 of which the offering intended for the French fleet and army consist.It shall be mv care to forward it- iTr\u2018J- lo ine uuniowsx -n-oi auu luc Minister ot Marine, whose duty it will become to make a proportionate distribution thereof between these two departments.I avail myself, &c.Droutn de L\u2019Huys.Death of Bill Poole, the Pugilist.\u2014We learn that Bui Poole, the notorious pugilist, who was wounded in an affray at Stanwix Hall, in Broadway, on the 25th of February, died of his wounds at an early hour this morning, at his residence in Christopher street.The deceased is lying at his residence, 164 Christopher street.Our reporter found ihe house closed this morning, and ascertained that Mrs.Poole, the deceased\u2019s widow, was severely ill and hysterical, in consequence of her recent bereavement, and that a physician had been sent for.The house is a well furnished and genteel residence.The body was lying in the back parlor, surrounded by many of his weeping relatives and friends.The face was calm, the lips compressed and ihe strong lower jaw firmly closed, the expression being that of a man who in life had been possessed of a marked determination of purpose, and great muscular energy.He wore a dark moustache, aud was a strongly built man of middle stature.Poole was lately the proprietor of the \u201c Bank Exchange \u201d saloon, at the corner of Howard and Broadway, which to-day, of course, is closed.So also is \u201c Stanwix Hall,\u201d where the attack took place.He had no interest in the \u201cBank Saloon\u201d at the time of his death.We understand that there is same provision for his widow and her only son, Charles, now nine years of age, but of what nature and extent we were not able to ascertain.The deceased was born in Sussex county, New Jersey, and was about thirty-three years of age.His father was (like himself) a butcher in this city, and we have heard was much respected.The son learned his trade wiih the late W.Berriman, and had been some years iu business, and had been very successful.His stand at Washington Market was well known.The feeling of friends in the neighborhood of his residence is pretty freely expressed.They think the attack, which has ended in his death, was foul and savage, prompted by animosity to him as an American, and urged on and committed by the Irish party.On this subject, a gentleman states to our reporter that he was with Poole at the moment of his decease, and whose name is Mason, Poole\u2019s brother-in-law, recited his last words, which undoubtedly will be iu evidence to-morrow.Poole said to him, just before expiring, \u201c I think I\u2019m a goner : if I die, I die a true American ; and what grieves me most is, thinking that I\u2019m murdered by a set of Irish\u2014by Morrissey in particular.\u201d It is said that Poole sat up in bed and conversed with his friends about half an hour before he died.He gave directions to have his tyjdy opened by the physicians.He desired to be dressed in a suit of black clothes, with patent leather boots, and a white collar turned down over his coat.He also requested that his body should be interred in a vault above ground, and that a child which has been buried si une time in Greenwood Oemetry, should be disinterred, and laid upon his breast in the tomb.The funeral will take place at Greenwood, at 2 P.M.on Sunday next.\u2014N.Y.Evening Post, Thursday.tance, he never failed to begin boasting of it in such loud and sonorous tones, that his folly became quite insupportable.When we got to an inn, instead of trying to rest himself, this indefatigable beast passed the whole night in practising his music ; and there appeared to be something so peculiarly provoking in the tones of his voice, that all the asses within hearing, influenced, it would seem, by the power of some magnetic fluid, were quite sure to respond in a magnificent bravura, so that altogether, it became impossible to close our eyes.One evening when our catechist was vaunting the qualities of his ass, we could not help interrupting him.\u201c Your ass,\u201d said we, \u201c is an abominable brute.During the whole journey he has prevented our getting a wink of sleep.\u201d \u201c Why did you not tell me so before ?\u201d said the catechist, \u201c I would soon have stopped his singing.\" As the ancient schoolmaster was somewhat of a wag, and indulged occasionally in a small joke, we took little notice of his reply, but that night we slept quite soundly.\u201cWell, did the ass make a noise last night?\u201d said he, when we met in the morning.\u201c Perhaps not; at all events we certainly did not hear him.\u201d \u201cNo, no; I think not; I saw to that before I went to bed.You must have noticed,\u201d he continued, \u201c that when an ass is going to bray he always begins by raising his tail, and he keeps it extended horizontally as long as his song lasts.To ensure his silence, therefore, you have only to tie a large stone to the end of his tail, so that he cannot raise it.\u201d We smiled, without reply, thinking this was another piece of pleasantry ; but he cried,\u201cCome now, and see ; you can easily convince yourselves.\u201d And accordingly we followed him to the court yard, where we beheld, sure enough, the poor ass with a large stone attached to his tail, and with the air of having entirely lost his accustomed spirits.His eyes were fixed on the ground, his ears hung down, his whole appearance denoted humility and dejection.We felt quite compassionate towards him, and begged his master to untie the stone directly ; and as soon as ever he felt his musical appendage at liberty, the creature raised, first his head, then his ears, then his tail, and at last began to bray with all his wonted enthusiasm.\u2014Hisc\u2019s Chinese Empire.prices more could be placed, but sellers have advanced their pretensions.Grain.\u2014Indian Com goes freely into consumption at 5s 9d per 56 Its\u2014the stock is small.In the other coarse grains the purchases are quite in retail, at the quotations in our tables.Provisions.\u2014There is some demand for Mess Pork for May delivery at $14, but sellers ask higher prices.Butter is scarce, and brings Is per lb, uninspected.Ashes.\u2014The demand has rather subsided, and a slight abatement in price has been established.Pots bring 30a to 30s 6d, and Pearls 30s to 30s 6d per cwt Stocks.\u2014Bank of Montreal\u2014declined during the week to 10 prem., but it is to-day in increased demand at this rate and exhibiting an upward tendency.Bank of British North America\u2014None offering.Commercial Bank\u2014Steady, with trifling transactions at 10 prem.City Bank \u2014Has declined, there being no buyers over 2 discount.Bank of Upper Canada\u2014Has been sold to some extent at 3 discount Banque du Peuple\u20144 discount offered and 3 discount asked.Grand Trunk Railroad\u2014Sellers at 49 discount buyers at 50 discount.Great Western of Canada\u2014Offered at 20 discount, without attracting buyers.Montreal Mining Consols\u2014Have again advanced slightly, there being buyers at 2s 9d per share ;

pecuniary, as corporations, &c., and brings man in contact with man, to the mutual improvement of all, by sharpening up the faculties.Loneliness is pernicious.Jnhabitiveness loves home ; locates, and gathers domestic comforts around the fireside.Men should spend more money on home, and time at home ; yet woman is the angel of domestic life.Combativeness opposes, defends, contends, breasts difficulties, gives strength and resolution.Destructiveness exterminates and destroys whatever interferes with human happiness ; it also exterminates moral evils.Alimentiveness feeds the bodv, gives appetite, wishes fruits and loves sumptuous repasts ; more fruit and grain with less meat will render men stronger and more healthy.Acquisitiveness saves up for future use, trades and gathers together the means of comfort; waste is wrong, but economy is duty.Constructiveness uses tools, manufactures goods, invents and works machinery, and with Acquisitiveness is filling the world with property ; manual labour, also toughens the constitution, and invigorates both brain and mind./deaLty relishes beauty and seeks personal perfection ; man should labor less for external and more for internal ornament.Sublimity adapted to the illimitable, endless and boundless.Cautiousness guards against prospective evils and changes and makes all safe and secure.Stcretweness governs the passions and \u201clays low and keeps dark.\u201d\u2014 Firmness gives stability, steadines and reliability to character.Self-esteem is adapted to the inherent worth of the human being ; we should be proud of our physical mechanism but prouder of our mental and moral elements and never humble this pride by debasing conduct.Approba-tiveness seeks praise by a reputable, honorable life.The lecture closed with some delineations of character.That of Mr.R.Campbell of this city, was given, to the great satisfaction and amusement of the audience, particularly of those who knew this gentleman.We think our readers will do well to pay Mr Fowler a visit and get their respective heads examined.Hé will tell them to a point what they are worth.The £10,000 Job.\u2014In the Court of Chancery on Saturday last, in the case of \u201cThe City of Toronto vs.Bowes,\u201d on motion of Mr.Mowat, an order absolute was granted for sequestration of the defendant\u2019s estate, for not paying the amount directed to be paid by the decree in this cause.__'Trivfvnfn (Inlnniet WEEKLY REPORT OF DEATHS IN THE CITY OF MONTREAL, From the 24th day of February to the 3rd day of March, 1855.Men 8 ;

the reiigious police, which has charge of the larger half of the peninsula, compelling unbelief to be clandestine, and giving to it therefore both the charm of secrecy and protection against refutation.No country was more distinguished for outrageous breach of the Sahbath by intoxication than Scotland, where the usages of the Sunday induced the people to keep the pleasures of the glass secret, if not solitary.The working of recent legislation, which has put a greater restraint than before upon the facilities for obtaining refreshments of the popular kind on Sunday, when closely examined, is found to have the effect that might be anticipated, creating an appearance of greater order at the cost of increasing the covered disorder.The chairman of the quarter sessions at Salford has made a further contribution to the statistics on this subject.He called for returns from the constabulary force, showing the number of persons apprehended for drunkenness during the six months from August 9 1852, to January 30 1853 ;

for the second, a fine of $50 and six months imprisonment ; and for the third, a fine of $100 and one year in the State Prison.Persons intoxicated are obliged to disclose where they obtain their liquor, under penalty of going to the House of Correction.No action is to hold against any officer in seizing and destroying liquor, where the warrant is issued by a competent Court.Express men and railroad and steamboat companies who convey liquor, except according to the law, are to be fined for the first two offences, and imprisoned one month for the third.This proposed law establishes the fact that the existing law is a failure\u2014and such laws ever will be failures.\u2014Liverpool Journal.The Cat-Cloc k ; A Queer Chronometer.One day, when we went to pay a visit to some families of Chinese Christian peasants, we met, near a farm, a young lad, who was taking a buffalo to graze along our path.We asked him, carelessly, as we passed, whether it was yet noon.The child raised his head to look at the sun, bnt it was hidden behind thick clouds, and he could read no answer there.\u201c The sky is so cloudy,\u201d said he, \u201cbut wait a moment ;\u201d and with these words he ran towards the farm, and came back in a few u inutes afterwards with a cat in his arms.\u201c Look here,\u201d said he ; \u201c it is not noon yet ;\u201d and he showed us the cat\u2019s eyes, by pushing up the lids with his hands.We looked at the child with surprise, but he was evidently in earnest ; and the cat, though astonished, and not much pleased at the experiment made on her eyes, behaved with most exemplary complaisance.\u201cVery well,\u201d said we, \u201c thank you ;\" and he then let go the cat, who made her escape pretty quickly, and we continued our route.To say the truth, we had not at all understood the proceeding ; but we did not wish to question the little pagan, lest he should find out that we were Europeans by our ignorance, As soon as ever we reached the farm, however, we made haste to ask our Christians whether they could tell the clock by looking into a cat\u2019s.eyes.They seemed surprised at the question; but as there was no danger in confessing to them our ignorance of the properties of the cat\u2019s eyes, we related what had just taken place.That was all that was necessary ; our complaisant neophytes immediately gave chase to all the cats iu the neighbourhood.They brought us three or four, and explained in what manner they might be made use of for watches.They pointed out that the pupil of their eyes went on constantly growing narrower until twelve o\u2019clock, when they became like a fine line, as thin as a hair, drawn perpendicularly across the eye, and that after twelve the dilation recommenced.When we had attentively examined the eyes of all the cats at our disposal, we concluded that it was past noon, as all the eyes perfectly agreed upon the point.We have had some hesitation in speaking of this Chinese discovery, as it may, doubtless, tend to injure the interests of the clock-making trade, and interfere with the sale of watches ; but all considerations must give way to the spirit of progress.All important discoveries tend iu the first instance to injure private interests, and we hope, nevertheless, that watches will continue to be made, because, among the number of persons who may wish to know the hour, there will, most likely, be some who will not give themselves the trouble to run after the cat, or who may fear some danger to their own eyes from too close an examination of hers.\u2014Hue\u2019s Chinese Empire.From 1 to 2 \u201c\t2\tto\t5 \u201c\t5\tto\t10 \u201c 10 to 20 \u201c 20 to 30 \u201c 30 to 40 \u201c 40 to 50 \u201c 50 to 60 \u201c 60 to 70 \u201c\t70\tto\t80 \u201c 80 to 90 Unknown.PLACES OP NATIVITY.Canada.23 Ireland.8 England.1 Scotland.2 United States.1 Business on the Grand Trunk Railway.\u2014Return of traffic for the week ending Saturday, the 24th Feb., 1855 :\u2014 No.3223 passengers, first class.3932 46]^ No.671 do second do.467 05 No.\t1895)^ tons merchandise.5277\t58 No.439303\tfeet of lumber.1764\t71 No.\t1228\tcords of firewood.1880\t50 Mails, &c.1352\t24 Total.$14,674 54>£ Do.Currency.£3,668 12 9 ~ Miles open.292 COMPARATIVE STATEMENT.1855.Week ending Feb.24.3668 12 9 1854.Week ending Feb.25.2401 5 8 Increase.£1267 7 1 Total receipts for current half year, commencing January 1st,up to weekending February 24th, J855.\t£26,230 2\t1 Imports by the Champlain & St.Lawrence Railroad.March 10.Bartley & Dunbar 4 sheets boiler plate;

Florence, Feb.6th, 1855.Prince Demidoff, the rich Russian, has advertised in the official journal for a loan of $200,000 at 5 per cent.His bankers propose to issue bonds for $20,000 to that amount redeemable in five years, binding upon the prince\u2019s estate in Tuscany and his invaluable mines in Russia.It is well known that he placed the immense revenues of his mines at the service of his master, the Czar, at the commencement of the war.\u2014 Hence probably this extraordinary call for a loan.Sir Henry Bulwer, for some years British Minister at this Court, has been relieved at his own request, in consequence of ill-health, and Lord Normanby, formerly Ambassador in Paris, and who has been residing here for some years with his family, takes his place.Sir Henry retires on a pension, and is just now at Nice.His health is much more infirm than when he was in the United States.A few days before his retirement he negociated a supplementary commercial treaty with this Government, by which the fullest reciprocal advantages are secured to the marine of the two powers, including the vessels of the lonion Islands, under a British protectorate.The Duchess de Berry and her son Count Chambord, the Bourbon heir to the French throne, are sojourning just now with her daughter, the Duchess of Parama.UNITED STATES.Important Insurance Case.\u2014Supreme Judicial Court.Essex, ss.The Hamilton Mutual Fire Insurance Compay v.Peter Hobart, Jr.This suit was brought by the Hamilton Insurance Company, at Salem, to recover the second and third years\u2019 premiums, less the dividends, upon a policy issued by theBowditch Insurance Company to the defendant, dated July 1, 1851, and to run three years.The facts were as follows, viz.: The defendant procured from the Bowditch Company a policy as above stated, and paid therefore a premium of $12, for the first year, in advance.The premiums for the second and third year of the policy were due, in advance, on the first days of July, 1852 and 1853.On the HHh of February, 1852, and before the first year of the policy had expired, the Legislature passed an act \u201c that the members of the Bowditch Company and the members of certain other Companies, should be a corporation by the name of the Hamilton Insurance Company, provided the act was accepted, and that the charter of the Bowditch Company\u201d should be repealed from the time of such acceptance.On the 30th day of March, 1852, some of the members ofthe Bowditch Company and theother companies had a meeting, and voted to accept the said act.The defendant did not attend said meeting, and gave no assent to the change whatever.The members of said companies present at said meeting, having voted to accept the change, proceeded to organize the Hamilton Company.\u2014 The Hamilton Company never voted to assume the policies issued by the Bowditch Company, nor otherwise contracted with the holders of such policies, to be held responsible for losses upon them; but they stood as originally issued.The defendant wrote to the Company to know if he was insured after the change, and whether the Hamilton Company would be responsible for losses\u2014stating at the same time, if they were, he was ready to pay up his premiums in full.\u2014 They answered (without directly replying to his questions) that if he did not pay they would sue him ; and soon after brought this suit.The defendant contended that his contract of insurance was with the Bowditch Company, and could aot be transfered by force of the act of Feb.10th, 1852, into the Hamilton Company ; that the contract of insurance was a personal contract that could not exist between him and the plaintiffs without an actual contract in writing between him and them ; ibat they were not responsible to him for losses, nor he to them for premiums or assessments.The plaintiffs contended that the act of Feb.10, 1852, together with the vote of acceptance, made the defendant a member of the Hamilton Company, and bound him to pay them, notwithstanding there was no contract between them.The Court decided in favor of the defendant, thereby deciding that the plaintiffs could not recover premiums or assessments upon the policies of the Bowditch Company.Perry & Andicott for plaintiffs : J.H.Wakefield for defendant.\u2014 Boston Journal.si ToDoganingS\u2019at St.Petersburg.At that time, too, the skating grounds on the Neva were opened, and\" the ice-hills swarmed.On this latter amusement I had pholosophized most unjustly.The love of such a sport had always argued to me a kind of childishness in the Muscovite character, for 1 had looked upon the whole thing as but an imitation of tho boyish sliding customs so well known with us, but to my astonishment, I find it an amusement which requires some skill and some nerve.The sliding aparatus is generally a frame of iron or steel, with runners like skate irons.Its build and ornamentation depend upon the rank of its owner.The serf who snatches a few moments for this sport upon the public hills has, of course, a more rude sort of conveyance than the nobleman ur merchant of the first guild, who takes his slide on the hill raised by private subscription.The sledges of these latter are often decked with great wealth of silvering, gilding, and embroidered cushioning.The ice-hill itself is a wooden construction of from thirty to fifty feet in height, with a wide track leading from its base to a distance sometimes of a thousand feet.Slide and roadway are covered with thick blocks of ice sawn from the Neva, which are at first fitted most carefully and then cemented and enamelled by water thrown upon them.There is no clambering up a long hill, as at the end of one slide there is always another with tracks leading back to the startling point.The sliding gentleman walk up a railway, a serf pulls up his sledge by means of a pully, and the operation is repeated constantly.Ladies generally kneel behind the cavalier, who guides the sledge with his hands fortified with leathern mittens.A set of hills covered with people flying in all directions at a velocity not much less to all appearance than that of a Lancaster cannon ball, is a sight not soon forgotten, but it is a game which foreigners are rather slow to begin as terrible accidents sometimes happen.Gilman and Irving of our party came near dashing their brains out last winter.Both were thrown to a great distance, but luckily bounced off the track out of the way of the other sliders.E.who boasts of his perseverance, and who, though the danger was apparent, started to launch himself forth again, just at that moment a benevolent looking old gentleman came up and mentioned in the most casual way possible that it was always best to be a little cautious, \u201cfor,\u201d said he, \u201c on this very day there is a funeral of a man who broke his neck here the day before yesterday.\" After that E.took his slides guided by a pilot.\u2014 Correspondence of the Syracuse [Ar.Y.] Journal.How to make a Donkey cease Braying.In 1840, we were once making a journey in a waggon in the province of Pekin.Our equipage was under the
