That the Imperial Government be requested to accept the payment of the present^Sinking Fund in partial liquidation of the guaranteed loan ; Tbat if no alteration be made in the terms upon which the said loan was guaranteed, the Imperial Government be requested to cause the Sinking Fund to be invested in the securities of the province.The committee of Council concur in the recommendation of the Inspector General and advise accordingly.Certified, W.H.LEE, C.E.G.Inspector General\u2019s Office, Toronto, January 6, 1859.Sir,\u2014I have tbe honor to report for the information of His Excellency the Governor General, that in obedience to the Order in Council, daied 31st Amgust last, I proceedel immediately on my arrival, to place myself in communication with the Right Honorable B.Disraeli, the Chancellor of the Exchequer ou the subject of a modification of the terms upon which the Imperial Government granted their guarantee for the loan of £1,500,000 sterling in 1842, to enable the province to complete certain Public Works.Feeling it necessary to obtain full information as to the mode in which the loan had been actually effected, and the nature of the obligations issued, I\tfirst proceeded to inform myself on these points, and I annex copies of documents furnished to me by the Treasury, and also a copy of the Bonds issued, which I obtained from tbe Bank of England.On examination of these documents, I ascertained that the bonds had been issued by the Treasury, on behalf of the province, payable at 20 years from date, and were held by the public at large ; that the position of the Bri ish Government was simply that of a guarantee of the interest till the Debt should be redeemed and that the Sinking Fund of four per cent had been established by agreement with the Provincial Government.The date, at which the several Bonds matured were shown to be as follows : Date of Con- Amount of Deben- To be paid tract.\tlure.\toff.16th Dec., 1842\t£300,000,\t1st Jan., 1863 7th July., 1843\t300,000,\t1st July, 1862 3rd May, 1844\t300,000,\t1st\tApril,1864 6th Dec., 1844\t200,000,\t1st Jan., 1865 II\th April,1845\t200,000,\t1st April,1865 5th Dec., 1845\t60,000,\t1st Jan., 1866 Taken by tbe Bank of England.\t140,000, 1st Jan., 1869 £1,500,000 With these facts before me, it became evident that inasmuch as money could be considered by the Chancellor of the Exchequer as only worth the merket rate of British funds, say a fraction under three per cent, any proposal on my part to pay the whole loan to the Treasury, would be liable to the objection that a loss wou\u2019d accrue of the difference between the market rate and that borne by the loan, four per cent, which being calculated upon the period for which the Debentures had to run, would amount to nearly £100,000 sterling.No means existed of paying off the holders of the Bonds before maturity, and it became evident to me that much difficulty would arise in obtaining the consent of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the acceptance of tbe money now standing in the Sinking Fund, and of the further amount required to make up the full sum of £1,500,000.The grounds upon which I could rest my application were the relief of the Imperial Government from tbe liability of the guarantee, and the advantage to the Province by the extinguishment of the Sinking Fund.In the first interview on this subject with which I was honored by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, I endeavoured to place these points as strongly as I could before him, and he promised to give the subject his most favorable consideration ; but at a subsequent interview I learned that the confidence felt by the Imperial Government in the due and punctual fulfilment of its obligations by the Province was such, that he would not feel justified in assuming the whole loss on the transaction.Upon learning his views I had to consider the effect upon the Provincial finances of any modification of my original proposal to pay off the debt; and as I could not expect to raise the sum required, £800,000 (in addition to the Sinking Fund), at a lower rate of interest than 4£ to 4$ per cent, it did not appear to me that the advantage of an immediate relief to our Revenue of the contribution to the Sinking Fund would justify me in assuming any portion of the loss that the British Treasury would sustain.It therefore became my duty to consider other modes by which the effect Of the present position of the Loan might be made moie advantageous to the Province.The terms of the guarantee were onerous in two important respects :\u2014 First \u2014The Act constituting the Sinkint?Fund created an annual charge of £60,000 sterling upon our Consolidated Revenue Fund, and also required the accumulating interest on the Sinking Fund investment to be added thereto, thus leaving the whole in erest upon the original debt as a charge upon the Province ; Secondly.\u2014The Sinking Fund being invented in British Funds only bore an interest of about Three per cent, while the debt was bearing four.Having every confidence, from the assurances of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Gentlemen connected with the Treasury, whom I met by his desire, that the disposition of the Government was to aff rd the Province relief, I finally, decided to make an entirely new proposition, viz : to apply fora diminution of the annual contribution to the Sinking Fund, for a renewal of the guarantee for ten years on any amount which might be necessary on the maturity of the Bonds, and for a re-investment of the sinking Fund in securi-ies to be agreed upon betwe n the Treasury and the Financial Agents of the Province, having in view a rate ot interest at least equivalent to that borne by the debt.I annex a copy of my letter containing this proposal.Before my departure I received a private intimation that my proposal was favorably entertained, and I have since the pleasure to learn that an Official Despatch has been received conveying tbe assent of the Lords of the Treasury to the arrangent.Not the least gratifying part of the present arrangement is the consent of the Imperial Government to the renewal of the guarantee, which is sufficient evidence of their confidence in the disposition and ability of this Province to meet all its obligations.The effect of re-payment of the Loan would have been more direct on our revenue, as it would have substituted a perpetual annual charge of about £40,000 sterling, instead of one of £120,000 till thp extinguishment of the debt.But on the other hand this advantage would have been gained at the expense of paying marly £8000 per annum more than we now shall do.By the arrangement which I have now the honor to report, the contribution will be £90,000, but of this sum £60,000 will be actually applied on payment of the capital of the debt, either directly or through the proposed operation of the Sinking Fund, thus reducing the real burden upon the Province to £30,000 per annum, and subject to a further gradual reduction.I should be wanting in my duty if I did* not express to His Excellency the high sense I entertain of the courtesy and attention of tbe Chancellor of the Exchequer, and of his ready disposition to give favourable consideration to any measure calculated to promote the prosperity of the Province.I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient serv\u2019t, A.T.GALT, Inspector General.The Hon.Charles Alleyn, Provincial Secretary.factory to your government, and J am glad that the clear explanations which it was in Mr.Galt\u2019a power to afford on this subject during his stay in England have been attended with so favorable a result.I have, &c., (Signed,) E.B.LYTTON.Mr.Galt lo the Chancellor of ihe Exchequer.London, November 23, 1858.,~IR|\u2014Referring to the interviews with which L have been honored on the subject of the Loan guaranteed by the Imperial Government.I now beg leave on behalf of the governmen* of Canada to propose for your consideration :\u2014 That, instead of the Sinking Fund continuing' at 4 per cent, on the entire Loan, it be reduced to not less than two per cent, for all future contributions, and that, iu the event of the Fund not being sufficient to meet the Loan as it matures, Her Majesty's Government will consent to renew the guarantee for a further period of ten years on such pnrti»n of the debt as may remain unpaid, with the understanding that any premium received on such renewal shall be added to the Sinking Fund.I have also the honor to request that the investment of the present Sinking Fund, as well as of all future contributions to it, may be made iu such securities as may be designated by the Financial Agents of the Province, Messrs.Bar-ing Bros.& Co.and Messrs.Glyn, Mills & Co., subject to the approval and sanction of the Lords of the Treasury, having it iu view to obtain a higher rate of interest than that now yielded by the present investment.I trust that it.may be in your power to give favorable consideration to the foregoing application, as the present operation of the Binding Fund bear, heavily on the revenues of the Province, and the mode in which it is invested will, if continued, deprive us of the benefit intended by Her Majesty\u2019s Government to be cou-lerred in the original grant of the guarantee.I have, &c., (Signed,)\tA.T.GALT, Inspector-General of Canada.Mr.Hamilton to Mr.Merivale.(Copy.) Treasury Chambers, 24th November, 1858.Sir,\u2014The Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty\u2019s Treasury have had under, 23rd November, 18.58, their consideration a letter from the Inspector-GenefiTTof \"Canada, of wtîTCîrTrcopÿ is herewith transmitted, proposing that the remittances on account of the Sinking Fund of the Guaranteed Loan to that Colony, which have been since 1848 at the rate of £4 per cent, per annum, should be reduced to £2 per cent., and that, iu the event of the Fund not being sufficient to pay off the Debentures on their arrival at maturity, the Imperial Governmeut should consent to renew the Debentures lor a further period.The Inspector-General also proposes that the investment of the present Sinking Fund, (wh ch is at present ia the £3 per cent consols,) us well as all future remittances, may be made iu such securities as may be designated by the Financial Agents of the Province, Messrs.Baring Brothers & Co.and Messrs.Glyn, Mills & Co., subject to the sanction of the Treasury, with a view to obtain a higher rate of interest.The Sinking Fund of the Guaranteed Loan of Canada was fixed from the 1st January, 1849, at its present high rate of £4 per cent., partly in consequence of no regular remittance having been previously made on account of tbe Siuking Fund.The investment up to the present time amounts to £3 per cent, reduced.£635,393 17 7 £3 per cent, consols.£ 75,738 5 11 Total 3 per cent, stock.£711,132\t3\t6 The Sinking Fund on the subsequent Guaranteed Loans to Jamaica aud New Zealand, has been fixed at £2 per cent., the Debentures being payable at the expiration of thirty years, and there appears to be no material objection to extending to Canada the fame regulation, leaving such portion of tbe Debentures as may not be paid off by the operation of tbe Sinking !Fund at tbe end of the present period of 20 years, to be renewed upon such terms as may then appear advisable, and tor such further period as may be necessary for their redemption by the operation of the Sinking Fund at its reduced rate.My Lords approve of this proposal, and they desire that their approval may be communicated to tbe Secretary of State for tbe Colonies, with a request that he will cause the same to be transmitted to the Governor-General of Canada, the consent of the Colonial Legislature being required before this arrangement can be carried into effect.They request that tbe Secretary of State will call the atteutiou of the Governor-General to the act of the Canadian Legislature of the 10 & 11 Y-, c.22, No.450, with a view to the passing of an Act to confirm this arrangement, which they have no doubt will be highly satisfactory to the Colony.They would, at the same time, suggest that as the funds of the Colony will be relieved from the charge of interest as the debentures are paid off, it will probably be found advisable hereafter to increase the rate of Sinking Fund, with a view to the discharge of the whole of this portion of the debt ot the Colony at the earliest possible period.The following statement shows the periods at which, according to the previous arrangement, the debentures will be redeemable : Date of\tAmount of\tTo be paid\t Contract.\tDebentures.\toff.\t 16th Dec., 1842 7th July, 1843\t£300,000\t1st Jan., 1st July,\t1803 \t300,000\t\t1863 3rd May, 1844\t300,000\t1st April,\t1864 6th Dec., 1844\t200,000\t1st Jan.,\t1865 11th April, 1815\t200,000\t1st April,\t1865 5th Dec., 1845\t60,000\t1st Jan.,\t1866 Taken by the Bank of England -\t140,000\t\t1st Jan.,\t1869 £1,500,000 The profit to the Colony upon the sale of debentures amounted in round numbers to £140,000.In considering Mr.Gall\u2019s suggestion as to the unfavourable result of the invesiment of the Sinking Fund, and the charge upon the Colony for interest, &c., it must be borne in mind that the interest on the ttoan, instead of being at the rate of £4 per cent, per annum, is in reality at the rate of £3 13s 2d, on the sum actually received by the Colony, aud further, that the investments on account of the Sinking Fund having, in some cases, been made when the 3 percent, stocks were 10 per cem.below par, the supposed loss to the Colony is much less than it vvould at first sight appear.My Lords will however be ready to consider any proposals that may he made by Messrs.Baring & Co.and Messrs.Glyn & Co., in regard to the future investment of the Sinking Fund.I am to request that you will submit these proposals to the early consideration of Sir Edward Bulwer Lyttop.I have, &c., '{Signed] GEU.A.HAMILTON.[Copy.)

accomplishment of this useful hut small reform ; for it will be seen that the Lords of the Treasury have not yet decided to accept Mr.Galt\u2019s proposition, though Sir E.B.Lytton\u2019s despatch seems to intimate that they have done so.It is likely that, ultimately, they will not refuse.In the meantime, the Treasury minute only says that, My Lords will be prepared to consider any proposition that the financial agents of the Province shall submit.The other great spark of financial genius, the inducing the holders of six per cent, debentures to take four and a-half per cent., has, it will be seen, been completely extinguished.Mr.Galt confesses that alibis calculations have turned into what the Turk calls \u201c bosh\u2014 nothing.\u201d To Correspondents.\u2014We have received a

Councillors began yesterday morning at ten o\u2019clock.There seemed, throughout the day to be a total absence of excitement, and in the paucity of numbers about and within the City Hall, there was a marked contrast to the crowding and eagerness of last year.The following shows the number of votes ballotted during the day in the different wards for the offices of Mayor and City Councillors :\u2014

breakfast at St.Lawrence Hall, on Friday morning at half-past eight o\u2019clock.We have no doubt that this oc.casion will be one of deep interest to many, as it will be the final leave taking of the

days past says the Free Press, wheat has been offered at the market in London, which has been brought from Chicago.Perhaps, in the whole course of events there is nothing which tends to illustrate so forcibly the exhaustion of the country as the fact, that the home supply of wheat is so small as to induce importation into the centre of what has been well called the \u201cGarden of Canada.\u201d Farmers from all quarters came in daily to buy wheat and flour for their own use, and there is little now brought to market in exchange but hay and cordwood.New Stock of tub Telegraph Company.\u2014 This stock has been sold by tender at 16[ per cent, premium.The Financial Part of Mr.Galt\u2019s Mission.At last we have news ot something in which the Canadian Delegates to England seem likely to be successful.It is, indeed,a small instalment of all the blessings that they intended to secure for us ; but it is valuable iu itself, and, though we believe that Mr.Cayley put in his claim last session, for intending to effect the same or some similar reform, we think Mr.Gait deserves credit for the execution of it.It is not brilliant.There is none of the conjuring and hocus-pocus by which an agreement to pay 6 per cent, per annum should be transformed into au onligation to pay 4 or 4j per cent., nor will the profit on it be so great as upon the more magnificent plan, could that be carried out.It is a plain matter of business, such as any business man should be able to effect ; but it required diligence, such as the style of business men, who serve the public in our political offices, do not always afford in return tor their salaries.The short facts are these, that the £1,500,000 sterling loan, called Lord Sydenham\u2019s loan, which makes'part of our public debt, is guaranteed by the Imperial Government, in respect to which guarantee the lenders were ready to advance their money on easier terme.The Imperial Government, however, has stipulated for a sinking fund at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum ; and, to make assurance doubly sure, have further bound the Province to invest this sinking fund half-yearly in that best reputed of ail securities, the British 3 per cents.It will be observed that, by the terms of this bargain, the Province is bound to pay 4 per cent, on the whole loan, yearly, in liquidation of the debt ; but, in reality, the 4 per cent, so paid up increases the fund for repayment of the loan in a greater ratio than 4 per cent., inasmuch as there is added to the fund thus created the annual interest on the accumulations.One part of the change effected by the Attorney-General is the .detaining from the British Chancellor of the Exchequer of permission to reduce these payments for the sinking fund to 2 per cent, instead of 4 per cent.We must say that we are conservative enough not to praise this part of the arrangement.It amounts merely to postponement of the debt, which postponement we have begged from our creditor, or rather our endorser, and in the meantime it converts the cash which we should have repaid, but which we are not to repay, into ready money to be made ducks and drakes of, by our ever-shifting Ministries, each seeking to support itself on expedients for a few months, till it has to give place to a newly patched-up successor.This arrangement no more helps our finances than it would aid a\tman to\tpay\toff\tthe instalments\ton a\tpurchase,\tif\the\twere .permitted\tto make them in twenty years instead of ten, with the certainty that from the spendthrift habits of the debtor, he would eat and drink up ail that he was allowed to retain.To ask such a favour too is a confession of inability to meet financial engagements, without inconvenience at least, and though we do not impute any vast importance to this part of the matter, that is plainly the ground on which Mr.Galt made his request to the home Government.But the obligatiou on us to invest our savings for the Sinking Fund in 3 per cent, securities, is a palpable loss.We are always borrowing, and it is to be feared are likely still to borrow ; and we pay 6 per cent., which, allowing for the premium we receive for wsix per cent, debentures, on the one hand, and the charges for management on the other, probably makes something over 5 per cent.net.It is a bad bargain, then, to lend to the British Government at 3 per cent., which is the nature of our investment in Consols, while we pay 5.If, therefore,we can r.purchase our own debentures as an investment for our Sinking Fund, we save some 2 per cent, by the operation.It seems, indeed, rather a left-handed security to give to an endorser to deposit with him more paper of the kind which he has endorsed.But still, while our debeutures retain their value in the market, a deposit of them with the agents of the imperial Government would, of course, be equivalent to the deposit of any other securitv, and^e save the difference between the interest

letter.While, the concert last night was a very decided success, and of the vast assemblage which crowded the St.Lawrence Hall, which, I may remark, en passant, is one of the most admirably, proportioned and beautifully decorated Concert Halls in Canada, I do not believe there could have been one individual disappointed with the evening\u2019s entertainment, in any of its features.The music was well chosen, there were no tiresome pauses between the performances, and, whether in the vocal or instrumental department, the performers amply fulfilled the expectations of their audience\u2014they kept the word of promise to the ear, which, in their case, was all that could he asked, and proved themselves, one and all, thorough proficients in their delightful art.As to the Piccolomini herself, she is so fascinating a little beauty, her smile is so engaging, and her action so graceful, that even were her voice less sweet and powerful than it, undoubtedly is, no mere man \u2014a musician or one of her own sex might\u2014 could find it in his heart to do aught but praise her.Her warblings are clear and brilliant as those of the \u201c wood-lark wild,\u201d but she cannot reach the deep melodiousitrillings of the forsaken and complaining philomel.She is, as the best English authorities have described her, a most charming actress, an excellent musician, nay, a prima cantatrice ; but she is not a Malibran, she is not a Pasta, and would, undoubtedly, fail, were she to attempt the higher, the serious and tragic spheres of the musical drama.There is nothing serious about her\u2014she is the very personification of winning smiles and ringing laughter.Her form is petite, but of the most graceful proportions, her complexion dark and her features regular.She is said to be a Roman, but she reminded me of Norwood, and I suspect she has no slight dash of Zingara blood flowing in her veins.But, wherever born, and of whatever race, she is perfect in her own sphere of operatic art ; and, should she visit Montreal with her present travelling companions, who, I must not omit saying, are most accomplished artistes, I should advise your readers to make almost any reasonable sacrifice rather than fail to hear her and them.M\u2019lle Ghioni is possessed of a very fine, full voice, of which she is perfect mistress; Hig.Maggiorotti is a genuine Primo Passa and, in Rossini\u2019s Largo al factotum, reminded me of De Begni\u2019s in his best days ; Sig.Lorini has a splendid tenor voice, sometimes verging upon a baritone ; and Mr.Wollenhaup is an exquisite violinist.He has not the power of a Paganini or of an Ole Bull, butiu his softer tones, I think I have never heard him surpassed.I have not heard whether the Piccolomini and her troupe contemplate visiting Montreal.I hope they will, and if they do, 1 think 1 can promise them a hearty welcome from our musical public.You will see by the report of yesterday\u2019s proceedings in the Legislative Council, that, after a lively debate, Mr.Dessaulles\u2019 motion, in condemnation of the partizan character of the Hon.Speaker\u2019s Election Committee, was carried by a majority of seven.This is another heavy blow and great discouragement to the Ministry, who struggled long and hard to escape who from it.Mr.Dessaulles made an excellent speech in reply to Messrs.Vankoughnet and Ross, but, as it was in French, I fear the report will hardly do justice to the orator.Mr.Ross was, as usual, dull and dogmatic, and it was simply ridiculous to hear him and Dis colleague denouncing the very idea of party spirit, as beneath the dignity, forsooth, of the grave and reverend seniors of the Canadian House of Peers.They, the very head and Iront of tne outrageously partizan vote of want of confidence in an administration within two days of their appointment by the Crown, and before they had had any opportunity oi announcing their policy\u2014they, the Ministerial members of the Council, after such a proceeding, to pretend to prate about the absence of party feeling and the \u201c dignified neutrality\u201d which ought to prevail in their branch of the Legislature, was a little too strong for my digestion.And,then,what could surpass the \u2018steadiness of face\u2019 with which their faithful follower, the Hon.Mr.Patton, turned up his eyes and appealed to the \u201csolemn oath

States of America in Congress assembled.The Board of Trade of the City of Portland, respectfully represent, that the Commercial relations between the United States and the British North American Provinces have been at all times matters of the deepest concern to the people of this City, as they largely affect the business of this port, and of the whole State of Maine.Its territory is so interposed between the Interior and Maritime Provinces of Great Britain as to afford the most easy and direct communication between them, across it ; and prior to the Treaty of Washington in 1842 the need of retaining the valley of the St.Johns, for the purpose of keeping up a communication, led Great Britain to refuse all other terms of agreement for the adjustment of the Boundary dispute.With the settlement of that protracted controversy, came peace and quiet on the borders and the exchange of offices of kindness and courtesy in place ox bonier disputes along our extended frontier.The free navigation ot the St.Johns, was the first practical step toward reciprocal trade, which has resulted in the Reciprocity Treaty of 1854.The great value of the Reciprocity Treaty is shown by the rapid increase of our colonial trade, and the large balance in favor of the United States.To appreciate fully its advantages, it is only necessary to refer to the former relations of the two countries.Maine was occupied simultaneously oy French and English colonists before any other portion of the United States, and for more than cne hundred and fifty years, was in dispute between these rival claimants, till at the close of the French war, by the Treaty of 1763, the French power therein was extinguished ; and from this time the maritime supremacy of England was established over every sea on the Globe.Not content to allow the original Provinces to flourish under this new order of thing, Great Britain soon drove the thirteen colonies into war, and its conclusion by the Treaty of 1783, left to that nation nothing valuable in America but that which she had recently conquered from France.The thirteen colonies had invited Canada to join in the Revolution, but without success, and failed to conquer it by the merest accident,\u2014or chance of war.The people of the United States, no less than those of the colonies, saw the necessity of maintaining friendly relations with each other, and proposed, at the conclusion of the war, to allow the citizens of the Provinces to participate in trade on equal terms with those of the United States.But the British Government refused.Two years later it was made the subject of distinct negotiation by our minister to England, but again rejected.In 1789, it was for a third time proposed, and refused.From that time to 1822, there was not a British colonial port in which an American | vessel could enter.By the relaxation of this law, a trade gradually sprung up, and in 1827 $445,000 of colonial products were imported into the United States, against $2,704,014 exports thereto.Under the \u201cMcLane arrangement.\u201d of 1830 the trade increased, and immediately after the adjustment of our boundary disputes, by the treaty of Washington in 1842, efforts were made to extend intercourse between the two countries by means of railways.In 1844 the projected Railway from Portlan d to Montreal was entered upon, and successfuly accomplished in 1853, increasing very largely the Colonial trade.Prior to this or as early as 18^4 the claim of the colonies of the right of self government had been asserted, and this concession was finally made to tbemi n the dispatch of Earl Grey iu the latter part of the year 1846, the same year in which the law was proposed to withdraw all protection to colonial produce on the part of the Imperial Government.Shut out of the markets of the United States by our tariff laws, and excluded from those of England by its geographical position in the absence ,ot means of of communication with the Atlantic Ocean, Canada sought reciprocal trade with the United States in the natural products of the two countries, while the United States desired an enlargement ot their rights of fishery.These efforts resulted in the Reciprocity Treaty of June 5 1854 by which a right to the Fisheries was granted, and a free interchange was allowed of the products of the sea, the forest, the mine and the farm, between the United States and all British North America.The effect of this arrangement is shown iu the increase of the trade of the two countries.We give below a table showing the Imports and Exports between the United States and the British North American colonies in 182 7, in 1849, and since 1852.The following table shows the trade between the United States and British North America :\u2014 ing against the Salle du Trône, when Louis Bonaparate and Eugene fled at once from the throne, and cut their way as precipitately as possible across the salon, the Empress gathering up her petticoats with her hands as best she might, and looking so pale that her best friends said \u201cit was death-like to look at.\u201d These cruel tribulations, which the usurper and his friends have been tormented with ever since Orsini\u2019s attempt, almost remind one of the celebrated passage in Plato\u2019s Republic.Bonaparte\u2019s hostile attitude against Austria, while it certainly intended holding out to the grumbling army some prospect of active employment is still mainly aimed at disarming the Italian dagger, and giving the Italian patriots an earnest of the Emperor\u2019s adherence to his old Carbonari oath.The marriage of Prince Napoleon\u2014or Gen.Plon Plon, as the Parisians call him\u2014with Princess Clotilde of Sardinia was to irretrievably identify, in the eyes of the world, France with Italy.But you know the hero ofSartory.Obstinate as he has always shown himself in the pursuit of a purpose once settled, his ways are tortuous, his advance are made by continuous retreats, and supreme perplexities seem to paralyze him whenever he has crawled up to the crisis.In such moments, as at Boulogne, at Strasbourg, and during the night of the 1st of December, 1851, it is always by some bold, sanguine, impetuous desperadoes standing behind him, that he is no longer allowed to put off the execution of his long-hatched plans.This Sardinian marriage, for instance, was desired eight months ago.on the pretext of an Italian crusade, to be led by France.But Louis Bonaparte had urgent reasons to try the soothing system after he had blown the war trumpet.Never during his whole reign had the middle classes shown s i unmistakable signs of ill humor, while their alarm at the mere rumour of war exploded in tremendous commotions at the Bourse, on the produce markets and in the centers of industry.The financial magnates remonstrated.The Count de Germiny, Governor of the Bank of France, personally informed the Emperor of the widespread commercial disasters which persistence in the dangerous line of policy pursued was sure to bring about.The prefects of Marseilles, Bordeaux and other great commercial towns, gave strange hints as to the marks of disaffection on the part of those \u201c friends of property and order.\u201d Mr.Thiers thought the opportunity fit for openly attacking in salons, the \u201c insane policy\u201d of the Tuileries.The Government Constitutionnel itself, though in affected tones of indignation, could not but avow that the spirit of France was gone, and that, like a coward, she stood aghast at the mere notion of a serious war.On the other hand, the spies of inferior rank unanimously reported the sneers current among the populace, at the mere idea of the despot of France playing the liberator ot Italy, along with most irreverent couplets sung in honor of the Sardinian marriage.Despite the soothing instructions sent to ail the prefects, and the strictly official denials of any danger, the general panic is far from having yet subsided.In the first instance, it is known here that the demi-god of the Tuileries has been pushed farther than he intended going.It is rumoured that the Princess Clotilde, accepted Plon Plon\u2019s offer with the words : \u201c marry you in order to insure the support of \u201c France to papa.\u201d She refused to agree until \u201cpositive guarantees\u201d were given of the active assistance of France.Thus, Lonis Bonaparte had to sign a defensive and offensive alliance with Victor Emmanuel, a fact which the agents of Pion Plon took good care to have immediately communicated to all Europe, through the columns of the Indépendance Belge.This Plon Plon, in fact, and his suite, pretended to play the same part at this moment which Persigny had to act during the expedition of Boulogne, like that of Morny, Fleury, and St.Arnaud during the night of the first of December, viz : that of plunging Louis Bonaparte into the Rubicon.While Bonaparte has composed the suite following his cousin to Turin of the most conservative men, such as General Niel, Plon Plon refused to start, save ou the condition that Mr.Bixio, the ex-Minister of the French Republic of 1848, was to accompany him, in order to imbue entourage with a revolutionary perfume.Now, what people say is this : \u201cUnless Louis Napoleon is pre-\u201c pared to go all lengths, nothing can be more \u201c dangerous than the airs assumed by Plon \u201cPlon, and: the articles published by his \u201cfriends.\u201d Hence the apprehensions still prevailing.On the other band, it is generally understood that Louis Napoleon would commit suicide if he should now draw back, after Victor Emanuel has been compromised, and the hopes of the French army have been raised to the highest pitch.To give the latter a quid pro quo, he intends, as rumor says, to despatch them on some transmarine expedition against Morocco, Madagascar, or some other out-of-the-way place not known to the Treaty of Vienna.Imports.$145,000 2.826,880 6.110,299 T650,604 8.921.560 1855.\t15,136,134 1856.\t21,310,421 1857.\t22,124,296 1858.\t15,809,519 1827.1849.1852.1853.1854.Exports.$2,704.014

restrictions ; and we regret to observe a falling off in it since the movement of the Treasury Department to place it entirely on the basis of foreign trade.The recent appointment of Consular agents, and the enforcement of fees on all parcels of shipments of merchandize, is a measure alike onerous and annoying, producing no income to the national Treasury, increasing only the private fortunes of government officials, and exciting ill-will along our entire frontier.The undersigned, therefore, believing that the peace, the welfare, and the mutual interests of both countries will be promoted by an enlargement ot our trade with the British North American colonies, respectfully ask Congress to extend the provisions of the Reciprocity Treaty as far as practicable, so as to include the products of the workshop and the manulac-tory, and relieve the present trade of all onerous and unjust exactions.J.B.BROWN, President.T.G.Hersey, A.K.Shurtleff, Vice-Presidents.S.E.Spring, N.0.Cram, John

exiles from their country, because Bomba is yet King of the Two Sicilies, and because they were not patient of a political tyranny.For weary, weary years of imprisonment\u2014years whose length only captives and the condemned do accurately span\u2014 ninety-one Neapolitan gentlemen have languished iu dungeons\u2014some under the sentences of complaint courts of injustice\u2014the most under accusation only, and protracted arrest, vainly demanding trial\u2014all in the grip of a capricious despot, who believes that hernies by the grace of God, and knows that he governs by the favor of steel and ball cartridges.Yielding to the moral and political pressure made upon his tiger-like instincts, by England and France, the tyrant of the Two Sicilies reluctantly and growlingly let up his hand from the political prisoners in whose behalf Gladstone\u2019s indignant sympathies made Christendom ring.On the 9th of January last, royal grace flowing from the palace at Naples, loosed the fetters which corroded the politically condemned in Nisida, Ventotine, Montesarchio, San Stefano, Brindisi and Pescara.Death had been swifter of foot than the messenger of this extorted clemency.To four ot these hapless gentlemen had he lovingly come at night, and brought a warrant of freedom that nor Kings nor judiciaries can resist.The paternal government of the Two Sicilies knew not that Dardano, Leanja, Capria, and another, were dead and buried, when they ordered them into perpetual exile as a tender commutation of their sentence of imprisonment.Baron Poerio, ex-Minister of Ferdinand II., these ten years rusting and getting gray in a dungeon, ana Dono, and Castromediano, Pica, Braiea, Palermo, Mollica, and too many other martyrs to liberty, are now undergoing sentence of transportation for life to the United States.To these forced voyagers across the wintry Atlantic whose names we have given, were added a couple of prisoners from the island of Nisida.In the day\u2019s delay of preparation for the voyage, wives and daughters were admitted to the ship, to meet and to part with fathers and brothers, from whom stone walls, chains and absolute rule had for years separated them.The painful interviews were hurried\u2014the voyage commenced with a passage to the nearest state-prison, where an addition of this cargo of exiles for the American market were hoisted in\u2014at the next penal harbor more were embarked, among them Jacoveli and Capria\u2014thence the steamer harried to the Coast of Spain.Several miles from the quays of Cadiz, Spanish ships were in readiness to receive this political freight\u2014to be transhipped at that safe distance, out of respectful regard to the Spanish Embassador, who had protested against its being warehoused for a moment on his country\u2019s soil.For their equipment for a Winter voyage to this coast, these exiled gentlemen were to receive, off Cadiz, a trifle over ten dollars each.On their arrival in the harbor of New-York, between forty-five and fifty dollars will be presented to each ot them, with the assurance that they will be hung if they ever return to the land that gave them birth, and the paternal information that the world is open to them, in which to make their fortunes.From that time the estimates have gradually increased, until last year they reached the very respectable sum of £10,390,000, in which the expenses of the Persian and Chinese wars are not included.And now we are told that this is not enough.Are, then, the Naval Estimates a bottomless abyss, into which million after million is to descend, without making the slightest difference 7 We confess to a very grave suspicion that this money, though doubtless expended honestly, is applied neither judiciously nor economically.The vigour and skill of Lord Lyons in the Crimean war saved the Naval Department from that rough overhauling which fell so heavily on the military administration.Is it certain that such an overhauling was not needed ; but it must not be forgotten that when England became involved in a war long foreseen and amply prepared for, her fleet was sent both to the Black Sea and the Baltic propelled by sails, and unattended by gunboats, and that as a result during the first year nothing, and during the second but little, was effected.How long after everybody had become convinced that the days of sailing vessels had gone, never to return, did the Admiralty insist upon laying down new sailing ships ! How unequal were all our naval resources to meet the emergency of the war in India I An increase in our steam navy we must have.But we beg the appointed guardians of the public purse not to regard the increase as necessarily involved in the increase of the estimates.Let a fair committee, if such a thing be possible, be appointed, and let it carefully and minutely examine the whole structure and management of this voracious department.BLOCRADES OF RIVERS.A curious book might be written on the abuse by mankind of the noblest gifts of Providence in the injury and destruction of great rivers.But no river that we are acquainted with has suffered the same amount of ill-usage as the Elbe.This noble river rising in the mountains of Bohemia, and forming an excellent communication between the rich countries and the heart of Germany and the ocean which bears the German name seems to have been selected to show what man can do to counteract by the most paltry art and miserable expedients the beneficent intentions of his Creator.Some eight hundred years ago the Elbe was laid under contribution for the purpose of building a cathedral, and a market toll granted for that purpose, has become, in the shape of the Stade Dues, a heavy passing toll on all ship sailing up the river.At last it seemed that the long period ot oppression was drawing to a close.The Congress of Vienna in 1814 laid down for the guidance of the great Powers, and thus virtually incorporated into the public law of Europe, the general principles upon which the navigation of rivers passing through different States should be rfgulated.Those principles were, that the navigation of rivers along their whole course, from the points where they become navigable to their mouths, shall be entirely free, and shall not in respect of commerce be prohibited to any one ; and, further, that the tariff of duties on navigation shall be regulated in such a manner as to encourage commerce by facilitating navigation.If we read these two principles together,\u2014the first, the freedom of commerce, and the next the subordination of the tariff to the maintenance of that freedom, it seems to result that, so far as commerce is concerned, the public law of Europe now considers all rivers as free highways.The friends of the Elbe can desire no more.Whatever is necessary to maintain the banks, to keep the stream free from obstruction, and do whatever else is required for the facility of transit, they cannot possibly object to ; but they have a right to say that to make a profit out of the navigation of the Elbe, or, still more, to lay on tolls with the view of driving commerce from its waters into other channels, is a direct violation of the principles laid down by the Treaty of Vienna.In this, as in so many other cases, the sound principle of international law has been suffered to fall into abeyance.The management of the River Elbe fell into the hands of the Riverian States, and were supposed to have interests which would induce them to take all necesaary steps ,or preserving the free navigation of the river.The free city ot Hamburg, which lives and has its being in Free Trade, has indeed been unceasing in its efforts to emancipate the Elbe from the tyranny of its oppressors ; but, unhappily, its remonstrances were little attended to, the River toll was raised in 1844 more than 3s.per hundred weight.The sums thus collected amount altogether to £1,300,000 in 10 years, of which £600,000 are paid by the trade of Great Britain.For this vast expenditure nothing whatever is done for the improvement of the river.It is considered fair booty levied on the unfortunate trader.But since these duties were imposed a vast change has taken place in the means of transit.The Zollverein has lowered its duties.There is a railway an each bank of the Elbe, which carries goods at a lower rale than the dues which are imposed for passing up the river amount to.Of course, the effect of this must be to expel trafic from the Elbe, and give it to the railways, for the benefit of which these iniquitous dues are avowedly imposed.It is neither Prussia nor Austria that has thus skilfully applied the tourniquet to \"the great artery of Northern Europe ; the Powers that have sanctioned this extortion are the potent kingdom of Hanover and the mighty Duchy of Mecklenburg.The motives are peculiarly shabby Mecklenburg receives a toll on the Hamburg-Berlin Railway.Hanover remits the Stade toll on vessels resorting to her own port of Harburg, the British Government has given notice of the termination of the treaty with Hanover by which we were bound to the payment of these dues, and that this step will be followed by a distinct refusal to pay them in future.It is also high time that the great Powers, parties to the Treaty of Vienna, should eome to the rescue of its violated stipulations.the Continental press so perseveringly favour us, the assistance which two or three such vessels as the Great Eastern could afford is never alluded to, because never suspected.Yet, in the construction of this unequalled vessel, our national resources have received such a development as few at the first glance would perceive.The Great Eastern, however, would make the fastest, strongest, and most terrible of all war ships.Ten thousand fully-equipped soldiers, with ail the requisite matériel, and even the due proportion of staff and field officers\u2019 horses, could be transported at once to any point of need with greater convenience and in less than half the time now occupied by the fatest ships, as there would be no delay for coaling.She would be able to land a complete corps d'armée in India within 40 days from the time of her leaving England, while her vast deck would afford a floating parade-ground, on which recruits might be drilled even on the voyage.With such a rapidly moving fortress and camp always at the control of the Government the effect would be to economize, while it increased our warlike resources, and, by reducing the distance to our furthest outposts by one-half, bring about precisely those results at sea which railways have already effected on land in military tactics.£jContinential nations are well aware that the secret of England's weakness as a millitary Power is not so much due to the smallness of her army as in the necessity for its dispersion.Once show that the means exist for obviating this necessity, and England\u2019s position as a millitary empire, able in ten days to transport an army of 30,000 men to any part of Europe, will be second to none on earth.THE THREE CONDEMNED CRIMINALS.On Friday, the 4th day ot March, unless the Executive clemency interposes, Toronto will witness the very unusual spectacle of three unfortunate criminals, John O\u2019Leary, James Fleming, and William Hughey, being executed in front of the city prison, for the crime of murder.The friends of the unhappy youth Fleming who was convicted of murdering Thomas Madigan on Wellington St.last December, have been busily engaged getting up a petition praying the Executive to grant a reprieve.A similar document has also been in circulation in the town of Withchurch for the same object in favour of William Hughey, and has been numerously signed by the principal farmers of the district.A large number of the members of Parliament, as well as the leading merchants and inhabitats of Toronto, appended their name to that on behalf of Fleming.Both memorials have been laid before the Executive, but whether they will have the desired effect has not as yet been made public.We are informed that clemency ^will ^hu extended to Fleming and Hughey, but, as usual, no official announcement will he made of the fact until within a brief period of the day named for the execution.In all likelihood the sentences will be commuted to imprisonment for life in the Provincial Penitentiary.So far as O\u2019Leary is concerned, there is little doubt but that the sentence of the court will be carried into effect, and that he will undergo the extreme penalty of the law on the day appointed by the court.Since their condemnation the wretched criminals have been daily, almost hourly, visited by clergymen belonging to every denomination in the city, and by several laymen, who have ail administered religious consolation, when the unfortunate men desired it themselves.It is said that in all cases they have received the instructions of the ministers in a becoming spirit, evidently feeling keenly their precarious position.The prisoners are confined in the western wing of the goal on the upper floor, and in separate cells, without irons.When visited by clergymen they are allowed to leave their cells and walk in the corridor where there is a stove.A number of religious books have also been provided for their use.By an Act of Parliament, not yet repealed prisoner, under sentence of death are ordered to 10 be fed on bread and water only, unless the medical attendant shall otherwise direct.In the present instance that gentleman has wisely given instructions that they be provided with more substantial food than that ordered by the Act in question.The Governor of the prison, Mr.Allen, is doing all in his power, consonant with his duty, to make their position, under the circumstances, as comfortable as possible, and his kindness is duly appreciated by the prisoners themselves.Fleming and Hughey are sanguine that their lives will be spared.In the meantime the necessary preparations are being made to carry out the law on all three, as any official order to the contrary will not be given for a few days yet.A number of persons have sent in applications to the proper authorities asking to be appointed Finisher of the law !

NAPOLEON\u2019S POSITION.[From an Occasional Correspondent of the \u201c Tribune.\u201d] Paris, Jan.26, 1859.You will certainly have been already informed of the secret connection between Louis Bonaparte\u2019s recent Italian policy and his inveterate dread of Italian assassins.Some days ago you might have read in the France Centrale, a provincial paper that unfortunately never crosses the Atantic, the following tale :\u2014\u201c We alluded to the ball oi last Monday at the Tuil-leries.Letters from Paris infoim us of an incident that caused no small disturbance at the fete.The crowd was great; a lady fainted, we believe, or from some cause of a similar nature, confusion ensued, and the 3,000 or 4,-000 guests present fancied an accident happened.A tumult was occasioned, several persons hurried toward the throne, and the Emperor, in order to calm the agitation, walked through the salons.\" Now, there were, on the occasion alluded to, about 200 or 300 persons present in the Salle du Trône witnessing a scene very different from what the France Centrale has been allowed to describe By some accident or other, there had, in fact, taken place a sudden rush of the guests throughout the different saloons, and the throng was press- BRITISH NAYY.Even without the immediate prospect of a European war there are symptoms which may well give the English taxpayer no little cause for anxiety.The Budget of last year deferred, without confronting, the difficulties of our financial situation.Without any increase in the Estimates, there is a considerable deficit to be made good.How this is to be done we need not stop to inquire, for, unhappily, that will not be the only problem to be solved.From a semi-official announcement, the truth of which we have no reason to doubt, we learn that we are to anticipate a considerable increase in the Naval Estimates.We must be safe, and we must know that we are so ; and we freely admit that neither of these results can be effected without a very considerable increase of our naval strength.The introduction of steam into naval warfare may have the result of placing the naval supremacy of Great Britain on a surer basis than ever.If we understand anything, it is the steam-engine, and we are sure to have the refusal of all inventions and improvements.But, though this may be the ultimate result of the change, its immediate effect has been very different.Steam has at one stroke annihilated the advantage which centuries of naval triumphs and of accumulated experience had won for us, and has obliged us to start fair in the competition with other States, and provide ourselves anew with those appliances which may enable us, when the occasion calls, to reoccupy the position which we held so firmly before the introduction of steam.To the firm countenance which Austria has shown and the state f complete preparation in which she has placed her armies she probably owes it that she is not at this moment contending for the existence of her Italian Empire against the troops of France and Sardinia, and, doubtless, England has been saved from many a war by the conviction that the first gun which was fired would sweep the ships of the intending belligerent from every sea.Let there, then, be an increase of the navy ; but does an increase of the navy necessarily imply an increase of the Naval Estimates ?To the official mind we do not doubt that it does.Iu the year 1835 the navy was brought by Sir James Graham to something like the position it occupied and the space in the public accounts that it filled under the régime of Mr.Pepys.ANGORA WOOL.A correspondent at the Cape of Good Hope has kindly favored us by the last mail with samples of this new article of commerce.The introduction of the Angora goat into Southern Africa, is a curious chapter in the history of commercial enterprise.We ought to premise that the Angora is easily distinguished from the African goat by its lengthy white hair, and its long curve-shaped horns.It appears that fourteen or fifteen years back ten rams were imported into the Cape from India.Half of these goats soon died, and the survivors were distributed amongst the farmers in the district, but the paucity of the number, without the aid of a new stock, caused the breed to deteriorate, and their wool became valueless.But after the war with Russia, one of the Messrs.Mosenthal, of the Cape, was despatched to Asia to procure a fresh supply of the Angora goat.He found his way to a port in the Black Kea with a number of rams and ewes of the breed, and at length they reached the Cape of Good Hope in safety.The journey was not without peril, for the plague and the cholera had in the meantime broken out in the East, to arrest the enterprising traveller, but happily he escaped uninjured.In South Africa, the immense dry and apparently barren tracks of land are capable of affording food to endless herds of these animals, and the article is now in a fair way of becoming an important article of exportation.The softness, flexibility, and durability of Angora wool, the brightness of its color when dyed, its long staple and fibre, need hardly be commented upon.The hair of the Angora goat was woven into cloth by the the ancient Persians.\u201cThese garments were dyed in brilliant colours, indigenous to the country, such as the red of cochneal, and robes of such extreme beauty and splendour made from them, that they were worn by the Kings of Persia.\u201d In the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire, and in some portions of Scotland, the consumption of Angora wool will be considerable, when it can be imported at a price to meet the wishes of those who can bring the ingenuity of our age to bear upon its production as a permanent and reliable article of trade.\u2014 Wilmer fs Smith.An Ex-M.P.P.on the Defensive.\u2014Dr.Clarke was charged at the Guelph Police Court, on Monday, by Mary Kerr, wife of Mr.Walter Kerr, with having, on Saturday last, assaulted her, with intent to commit a rape.The Magistrate thought it most conducive to justice to have the doors closed during the examination of the case.The trial lasted five hours, and created great excitement iu town during its progress.Two witnesses were called for the defence 1 Alter a long consultation the Magistrates came to the conclusion, that the charge of assault was fully proved, and the Doctor was, therefore, find $10 and costs.Both complainant and defendant gave notice that they would appeal against tne decision.This case is likely to be brought up for trial at the coming Spring Assizes.So says the Advertiser.[This is the hero of the Hamilton debenture job\u2014the great friend of the Government, who got the 85 per cent, debentuies

the application of that material to so many articles of ornament and use, threatens to last as long as a rag of the patentee\u2019s rights remains.The latest of these conflicts has recently been submitted for legal abjudication in the United States Circuit Court in this city, before Hon.Judge Ingersoll.It seems that Mr.Horace H.Day brought suits in that court to restrain several firms, as defendants, from importing, manufacturing or selling elastic woyeu rubber goods, without having previously obtained from him a formal license or permission.Mr.Day based his suits for injunction against these venders on certain agreements made between him and Goodyear, the patentee.The Judge denied the motions to enjoin the defendants from the sale or use of goods in question.To this, however, an important exception was made.Day, the Judge held, had the exclusive right to the manufacture and sale, and to grant licenses for the m anufacture and sale of what are termed \u201ccorrugated or shirred goods,\u201d made according to Goodyear\u2019s patent, dated Alarch 9, 1844, as granted to Day by certain agreements made iu October, November and December, 1846.The exclusive right to all elastic goods, except these shirred or corrugated goods, is vested in William Judson, Goodyear\u2019s attorney and counsel, and in the Nashawannuck Company\u2014the latter having alone the exclusive right to the making and vending of elastic rubber suspenders.Boston, Feb.22.The steamer \u201c Joseph Whitney,\u201d from Baltimore, passed highland light at 10 A.M.,

remedies in arresting the progress of pulmonary phthisis ; that it enables patients to struggle on longer against the inroads of disease, and thus enables them sometimes to obtain cicatrization and contraction of cavities which otherwise must have produced speedy death.\u201d du-DC-43 SAW MILL, WATER POWER MB LAND, NEAR the THE GREAT EASTERN.The preparations necessary for fitting this noble vessel for sea have at last been decided on.The work of finishing her in every respect is to be divided between three separate contractors.To one person will be entrusted the iron work still requisite in the construction of the poop and masts, while separate contracts will provide for the rigging and sails and the cabin fittings and joiners\u2019 work.No money will be wasted in the mere frippery of decoration, though all the fittings will be of the most substantial kind.The design for the poop is complete.It will ba constructed of iron, and some idea of its size may be gathered from the fact that the chief dining saloon, 120 feet long by 27 feet wide and 9 feet high under the beams, will be in that part of the vessel.There is to be a large number of bath-rooms allotted to each class ot passengers, all of which will be kept supplied with hot and cold fresh and sea water.The contractors are to commence on the 15th of February, and are bound to complete all in five months.The trial trip will therefore take place about the middle of July, when it is intended to run out from Weymouth to the middle of the Atlantic and try the ship under all possible conditions.This short voyage will probably occupy six days, for the lowest estimate yet made of her speed allows her 17 knots an hour.The fitting will be undertaken on Saturday next, when the large iron floating Derrick launched last autumn will be used for the purpose of hoisting in the main shaft of the paddle engines and the rudder.The former weighs no less than 40 tons, the latter 13, and each of these ponderous masses have been finished off with as much neatness as if they were iatended for a clock.Both will be deposited in the fore part of the vessel in order to assist in bringing her more down by the head when the blades of the screw are being fixed.The latter have not been attached to the screw bars, as in case of ice during the winter enough might have lorm-ed round them to have held such a mass of loose pack as with the flow of the tide might have seriously endangered the ship.Trotman\u2019s anchors would never have given way ; but the chains might, and, once adrift, she would \u201chave taken charge
