Turin, May 18.The whole ol North Italy is convulsed with intelligence concerning Garibaldi\u2019s exploits, and the wildest rumours obtain the readiest belief.To-day we have tidings that a second corps of volunteers had landed in Sicily on the side of Malta and that Garibaldi was already in Palermo.All this may be in the regular course of things.From the days of Manfred of Swabia to those of Murat there has scarcely been an instance of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies resisting any attempt, no matter from what contemptible forces, for more than three days.With the strongest natural frontiers, Naples has seldom cost her conquerors more trouble than a military promenade.The causes of this helplessness must not be looked for in any constitutional cowardice of that southern people, or of its armies.Murat used his Capuan and Brutian Legions to some purpose, and the 10th Regiment, the only one which followed Pepe to Lombardy and Venice in 1848, performed deeds of real heroism.Among Garibaldi\u2019s adventurers, moreover, some of the most dashing blades are Sicilians of either realm.But since the days of the Swabians, Naples has always been in the hands of rulers beat upon breaking the moral sinews of their subjects.Cowards like Ferdinand IV., for instance, who revelled in the ignominy he cast on his own soldiers, clapped cuirasses to their backs, as that was the only part of their body they ever would show to the enemy.The grandson ot that Ferdinand, Ferdinand II., thought himself a chief of soldiers.Much has been said about the excellent material organization attained by the Neapolitan army under that infatuated King Bomba, but national troops who consented to give the pas to foreign mercenaries, who allowed one Swiss to count for two of their own men, must needs have been dead to all moral feeling.King Bomba, at Velletri, at the bead of 100,000 men, was no match for Garibaldi ; how can the puny son and heir of Kiug Bomba withstand the same Garibaldi, with Sicily and Naples, and Italy, and Europe to cheer him on ?Yet I was conversing yesterday with a shrewd and cool-headed Neapolitan, who justly, as I think, observed, that this army, utterly demoralized as it is, could not fail to have the destinies of the kingdom in its hands, unless a foreign force is sent to supersede it.Garibaldi himself even in the tide of the most startling success, cannot cut those 100,000 soldiers to pieces, nor can he disperse them, leaving the country at the mercy of a highly excitable, unbridled, miserable degraded multitude.The sword which will most probably drop from the baud of the sceptred craven, who is even now described as making safe the \u201cspoons,\u201d will have to be wielded either by Garibaldi\u2019s or by some other hand.Corruption, mutual treachery, organized espionage, were the links by which the Neapolitan army held together.They will rather fall off from their King than fight for himj but whom will they pronounce for ?My Neapolitan friend assured me of what I can readily believe,\u2014that 1000000 francs adroitly distributed can elicit from the army the cry of \u201cMurat !\u201d or \u201cPlon-Pion 1\u201d as readily as that of \u201cFrancis II.\u201d or \u201cSyracuse !\" It is, in the meanwhile, impossible to deny that the new generation of Italians is imbued with feelings which cannot fail to lead the country to high destinies.I wish I could find room for the numerous letters from young volunteers, written to their parents on the eve of embarcation with Garibaldi.The Italian papers are full of them ; allow me room only for a few words :\u2014 \u201c It would be in vain to endeavour any longer to conceal the truth from you.I am about to leave for Sicily, for that noble Italian province which the iufamous Bourbons are bent on turning into a cemetery.J have been brought up by a father who always loved God and his country more than himself.I have been petted by masters who instilled the noblest feelings into me.I raised an altar in my heart, with God in the middle, my country on the right, and my parents on the left.Were God to call \u2014 - * \u2014\u2014 la l-\u2014-\t*>.*1.\tp\u2014ronts , now the call is from God and my country I must obey the call \u201d The letter is signed \u201c Rinaldo Arconati,\u201d a mere boy, of a noble family.Of such stuff is the rank and file of Garibaldi\u2019s freebooters made up.The feeling in seaports is as stroag as ever.Many of the most enthusiastic have, been sent back,probably because it has been found,that to elude the Neapolitan cruiser is no easy task.Subscriptions in favour of the movêment are going on throughout Northern and Central Italy, and yield large sums.Italy, every one feels, must be made now or never.Turin, May 19.We have authentic accounts from Palermo dated the 16th.Garibaldi was on the night of the 13th at Salemi ; on the 14th at Oalata Fimi ; on the 15th at Alcamo.He is said to have repulsed the Royal troops at Pioppo\u2014a place I cannot find in the excellent map before me, in which otherwise the line of march is distinctly visible.The Sardinian Government, in yesterday\u2019s Gazzetta, has lifted up its voice in condemnation of Garibaldi\u2019s movement.They have tried, they say, to oppose it by all prudent and legal means ; they have sent the Royal fleet in pursuit of the adventurers : and it is their fault if they have met with no better success than the Neapolitan cruisers.The declaration is dignified and plausible ; but it comes rather late, and would appear gratuitous, were it not suspected that it was writted at the dictation of France.Paris, Monday, May 21, 6 P.M.The despatches from the Neapolitan Government announcing the defeat of the Sicilian insurgents were untrue.Something like this was conjectured from what was said about the encounter not being \u201c decisive.Now, however, there is no doubt.A telegram from an official, and an authentic source, dated last night, and received here this morning, states that in the affair in question the Neapolitan troops were completely delated by the soldiers of Garibaldi, and it was expected at Naples that Palermo would soon be in the power of the Sicilians.This intelligence is, confirmed in other quarters ; as also that Trapani and Calata Fimi were in the hands of the patriots ; that the Royalist troops had fallen back on Palermo and were actually blockaded in the town.The proclamation of general Lanza had produced no effect whatever on the Sicilians.(,From the Times, May 22.) Garibaldi is a hero or a brigand ; all men of his stamp divide the world in admiration or execration.It he should be tied to a tree and shot to death, history will describe him as a rash adventurer.If he should drive the Neapolitans out of Sicily, and hold his own there until he has raised Naples and chased the Bourbons from the Peninsula, he will be the Tell or the Washington of renovated Italy.How is this to be?Our British public has been for the last week impatient to know.We can number the hours since Grribaldi sailed from Genoa, and succeeded in effecting his descent upon Sicily.Ever since that telegram arrived our British public has considered itself ill used that the next expected news loitered.Unfortunately, however, Sicily is an island.The roads few and very bad, the mountains numerous, the telegraphs in the hands of the Government, and the railways yet to be made.And to this that Garibaldi has been so very thoughtles as to land upon that part of the island which is farthest away from the coast of Italy, ill situated for the early gratification of the laudable curiosity felt by his well wishers in England.In these days, when we have been spoilt by telegrams, we naturally grow disgusted if a hero should take more than three days in overturning a dynasty or conquering a continent.The more fickle portion of the public were be beginning to doubt in Garibaldi._____________ Gradually, however, there came vague sounds from this island of classical echoes._ The power of the King of Naples over this wild mountainous piece of earth is concentrated chiefly in Palermo and Messina.Sicily is the great shapeless stone which the toe of the Italian boot is always kicking.Palermo is at the outer side of this stone.It became known at last that Garibaldi had landed about 50 miles from Palermo, at a seaport town called Marsala, of ill-renown for its wine, but now partially redeemed by its connexion with this desperate enterprise in favor of liberty.Soon after, news came that he had held Marsala under a bombardment, and had sent forth his outposts to reconnoitre, and had received the insurgent chiefs ot the island, and that the Neapolitan General had thought it prudent to call in all his forces from the outlying posts and to concentrate them in Palermo.Then came doubtful rumours, how Garibaldi had advanced to Morrealle, within four miles of Palermo \u2022 that he was at Alcomb, 25 miles from Palermo \u2022 that ha had been utterly routed at Calata Fimi, still further away from Palermo, and that the whole expedition had been dispersed.All this was inconsistent, but by no means improbable in its general purport.Private letters from Palermo were received reciting rumours of successes of the bands of liberators at places not to be found ia the map, but these seemed hardly sufficient to outweigh the two steady official announcements from Naples and Rome which declared a regular victory.This was the first flight of telegrams.To-day the tide^ has turned, and it is the friends of Garibaldi who have the ear of Europe.From Turin we have an announcement contradicting the official account of the Battle of Calata Fimi.A telegram from Palermo coming down to the 18th, describes Palermo as in a state of siege, the surrounding country as in full insurrection, 3,000 insurgents in arms to join Garibaldi, the city m agitation, and the populace eagerly sympathizing the coua_ try people outside.Close upon each other the telegrams now crowd, and it becomes evident that, whatever the true history 0f the affair at Calata Fimi, that contest was not of a nature to delay Garibaldi\u2019s, advance.On the 15 th and 16th the Neapolitan troops were driven back.The result was that Garibaldi occupied the village of Morreale, situate upon a hill commanding Palermo.If Garibaldi has any guns with him, this position must render the condition of the Neapolitan garrison desperate.Thé commander seems to have been of this opinion, and to have sallied ferth to dislodge his besiegers j for now comes our crowning telegram, which brings down news to last Sunday night, and tells us that the Neapolitan army has been entirely defeated close to Palermo.The chain of facts thus strung together seems to be quite consistent.If the news holds true, Sicily is lost to the House of Bourbon.The object of Garibaldi has evidently been to get possession of the more distant of the two great military posts of the island.By this time he must be in possession of Palermo, or of such portion of it as he can hold without command of the sea.His friends do not claim for him that there has yet been any important defection of the Neapolitan army.The impulse here is to rejoice.As the news passes from man to man, even among the most Conservative of English societies, every face lights up with joy.No one cares to wait and ask what this success can lead.He exults in the simple fact that a detestable tyranny is crumbling into dust.That we may soon see the French eagles circling and swooping in this part of the world is very probable ; Garibaidi may be mixing up the elements of that great European was which even Lord Granville last night showed us in a shadowy prospective, but, while he is fighting against such a tyranny as that of Naples, we cannot refuse him our sympathies.FRENCH TROOPb AT ROME.The evacuation of Rome by the French troops is countermanded.They remain where they are \u201c provisionally.\u201d The counter-order is owing to Garibaldi\u2019s success.THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA BACKS OUT OF HIS ACTS AGAINST THE HUNGARIAN PROTESTANTS.Vienna, May 18.The officical Buda-Pesth Gazette of yesterday contains an autograph letter from the Emperor to General von Benedek, which in substance is as follows :\u2014 \u201c The patent of the 1st September, 1859, was published with a view to the definitive regulation of the ecclesiastical affairs of my Protestant subjects in Hungary.Some of the Protestants accepted the patent aud the Ministerial ordinances, while others made scruples of conscience a plea for objecting to both.For some time past the ordinances have been an excuse for great and continually increasing agitation among the Protestants.\u201c It being my wish that the organization of the Evangelical Church should be completed without unnecessary delay, I am induced to permit those commnnities which are not yet constituted in accordance with the sense of my patent, to take the necessary steps for sending representatives to the General Conferences, in accordance with the law of 1791.Should the General Conferences wish to have changes made in the regulations for the composition oi the Synods I shall not object to attend to their petitions.\u201c Those which have already conformed shall be in no way disturbed.The Calvinist com-munities shall be at liberty t,o retain their ancient superintendontal ar.\u2014nements.\u201c The foregoing reaolutidne are new proofs to the Hungarian Protestants of the paternal kindness of the Supreme Protector of their Church :\u2014\u2018 I grant a full pardon to all persons agaiast whom proceedings have been instituted for offering opposition to the Patent of September 1, 1759, and also to those who, having been sentenced to punishment, have not yet borne it.Instructions are hereby given to my ministers of Ecclesiastical Affairs and Justice to quash all suits which may be pending against non-conforming Protestants in Hungary.\u2019 RUSSIA AND TURKEY.VIENNA, May 19.An impression prevails here that there will be very serious disturbances in European Turkey in the course of the summer, but I learn that there is for the moment no great danger of an insurrection on the part of the Christians.About three months ago the Russian Prince Dolgorouki went to the Herzegovina and Bosnia, in order to see whether the Turks continued to ill-treat the Christians, and he was speedily convinced that the Hatti Humayonn of 1856 was a dead letter.The Prince expressed his sympathy for the unfortunate Rayahs, and strongly advised them to ask for the profection of the Czar.The advice was taken, and the petitions of the Bosnian Christians were forwarded to St.Petersburg.On the receipt of the documents Prince Gortschakoff showed them to the representatives of the Powers parties to the treaty of 1856.The English, Austrian, and Prussian Ministers were reserved, but the Duke de Montebello declared that tne Powers were bound to insist on the fulfilment of tne promises made by the Sultan of bis Christian subjects.A kind of conference was held at St.Petersburg, about ten days ago, by the Russian, French, English, Austrian, and Prussian Ministers, during which the Duke do Montebello made several propositions, the more important of which were 1.That the grievances of the Christian inhabitants of the Slavonic provinces of Turkey be examined into.2.That a commission of inquiry be formed of partly Turkish Commissiouaries and pattiy of Christian Consuls established in those provinces.3.As soon as the commission has sent in its reports, the European Powers shall take the necessary steps for securing attention to all the well-founded complaints of the Christians.When the news of what had occurred at St.Petersburgh first reached this city it was believed that Russia wanted to find- an excuse for picking a new quarrel! with Turkey, but professional politicians have now come to the conclusion that nothing more serious is likely to occur than the application ot a little moral pressure

the management of the Commercial Bank of Canada in this city.The Hon.John Hamilton, who has for many yearc filled the office of President, has resigned his office in consequence of his recently formed engagements requiring all the time at his disposal, retaining his seat, however; at the Board as a Director, a.H.Campbell, Esq , who for some years filled the post of Inspecting Director, has been unanimously elected Cashier, in place of C.S.Rose, Esq., resigned, and the latter gentleman was, also unanimously elected President.These changes have been made now as it was desirable that their record should appear in the report to be submitted at the annual meeting of the Board of Directors on the 25th instant.Although the retirement of Mr, Hamilton may be a matter of regret, the promotion of Mr.Ross to fill his place will, we are sure, meet the approval of the stockholders and friends of the Bank.Mr.Ross\u2019s long connection with this institution, and his unwearied devotion to its interests, as Cashier, for many years past, are well known ; and his friends cannot but congratulate him on his elevation to a position richly earned by his assiduity and ability.\u2014 Kingston Daily

respondents.\u2014Aylwin, J.differed from the majority of the Court, and was for reversing the judgement below.The facts were these : the late Mr.Charles Simpson died, leaving to his heir a number of shares on the capital stock of the Montreal Bank.After some time his widow married Mr.C.M.Delisle, who eventually was appointed tutor to the minor, and in that capacity sold the stock in question.The minor now brought her action, not to impeach the sales of stock, but to recover the dividends which had accrued from the time of the transfers to the date of the action.His Honour did not think that such an action would lie, aud would be almost prepared to say, that even if brought in such a manner as to impeach the right of the tutor to dispose of the stock must fail, on the ground of a tutor\u2019s right to dispose of moveables, Wjich the law declared bank stock to be \u2014 There was no doubt that this ladv had been most infamously treated ; but consistently with bis notions of the law, he could not grant her this remedy.oaüuLeï, J.\u2014Held that the judgment below, marked by a very great degree of care in its drawing up, must be confirmed.The tutor had no right to dispose of moveables producing a revenue, aud the Bank was the more wrong in this case because they had been warned by the sub-tutor of the character and insolvency of the tutor ; and had besides several of his acceptances under protest.The scienter was, theie-fore, against them.The tutor iu this country was iu the position towards the estate be administers which the executor held iu the English law, or rather he had less powers.\u2014 Now it had been held in Englandthat a Banker who paid money to an executor for the purposes of the estate, was not responsible, though the money should be misapplied.But if he paid it knowingly for improper purposes, he was responsible.So the Bank of England, if it transferred stock belonging to a firm for one partner only, having the means of knowing that he had not the assent of his other partners must.make good the stock ; and again if a person, who had performed no act tending to transfer stock, found that what had stood in his name had been transferred, he could make the Bank liable.These were cases from English law ; but they served to show theprinciple ot the law, and to indicate the importance of the scienter.The Bank in answer to the action had pleaded that the stock had been regularly transferred, and had produced a book purporting to contain a record of the transfer ; but there was no evidence to connect this book with the act of transfer, nor to show how the record got there.But the old Bank Charter under which these transactions occurred required that the transfer book should be kept by the Directors.Nothing iu the evidence connected the transfer in any way with the Directors.Duval J.concurred in the judgement below but for different reasons than those assigned! He did not think that the notice of the tutors insolvency, given to the Bank,;had anything to do with the matter.The tutor was an officer of justice, and being so the Bank was bound to fulfil his instructions so long as he kept within his authority.It might have replied to the person who gave the warning by telling him to apply to the Court to get the tutorship annulled, aud perhaps pending such a suit it might have declined any action at the request of the tutor; and have paid the money into Court, awaiting a legal decision.The question then in his opinion was not whether the tutor was insolvent\u2014whether he acted well or ill; but whether the Bank had acted on instructions, which exceeded the tutor\u2019s powers.His Honour then adverting to the principle which had prevailed on this head under the Roman Code; the Code Napoleon-and the old French law, which was our own rule, laid it down that a tutor had no right to Idispose of or change investments made for the (purpose of producing revenue.It did not mat- ^ -fed ibles, if they were ot a very precious .jharacter.He did not believe that the judgement was correct in stating that Bank stock was to be reputed an immoveable.Ou the contrary the law expressly stated that it was to be reputed a moveable ; and iu that respect he thought it shoutd be reformed.But substantially it must be confirmed.-, Sir L.H.Lafontaine C.J., and Mr.Justice Mondelet also concurred in the judgement; but we have not their remarks in a detailed shape.Judgement below confirmed.ORDINATION AT THE CATHEDRAL.On Sunday, being Trinity Sunday, an ordination took place at the Cathedral, the candidates being, for the Deacons office, the Revs.Benjamin Papineau Lewis, of Lennoxviile College, and Francis Codd ; and for the Priests office the Revd Frederick Burt, Missionary at Huntingdon, aud Charles Peter Abbott, Missionary at Clarendon, C.E.The Rev.the Dean read Prayers and the Rev.Archdeacon the lessons.The anthem was upon the words \u201cHow beautiful are the feet of them that \u201cpreach the gospel of peace and bring glad \u201c tidings of good things.\u201d Rom.10th and 12th.The Rev.the Dean then preached a sermon on the duties of ministers of the Gospel, from Acts 2nd and 47',h verse\u2014\u201c Praising God and having favour with all the people.\u201d After which His Lordship the Bishop advanced to the centre of the Transept, and took his seat, for the presentation of the candidates which was made by the Rev, Archdeacon.The Bishop then addressed the Archdeacon thus : Take heed that the persons whom ye present nnto us be apt and meet for their learning and godly conversation to exercise their ministry duly to the honour of God and the edifying of his Church.Answer : I have inquired of them and also examined them and think them so to be.The Bishop then addressing the people said : Brethren if there be any of you who knoweth any impediment or notable crime in any of these persons presented to be ordered Deacons, let him come forth in the name of God, and show what the crime or impediment is.The Rev.Mr.Lewis and the Rev.Mr.Codd were then presented and the same questions asked, after which the Bishop addressed the people as before.The Litany was said by the Bishop.Then the oaths of allegiance and supremacy against the power aud authority of all foreign potentates was administered by the Archdeacon to the candidates tor Deacon\u2019s orders.The proper questions were then put by the Bishop and duly answered by the candidates.The oaths were put to the candidates for the priesthood by the Bishop.And all the candidates were then ordained with the usual authorization ; all the clergy present joining in the imposition of hands.The Lord Bishop, accompanied by Archdeacon Gilson, will leave town this afternoon for the purpose of being present at the meeting of the MisSissquoi Clerical Association, where His Lordship has engaged to preach in the Parish Church of Dunham ; aud ou Thursday they will proceed to Pigeon Hill, when the consecration of the new Church is to take place.REPORT OF THE ADMIRALTY SURVEY OF THE ST.LAWRENCE ABOVE QUEBEC.< Charlotte Town, Prince Edward Island, (\tFebruary 29tb, 1860.Sir,\u2014Ably assisted by Commander Hancock and the other officers attached to this Survey, I have surveyed and sounded the river St.Lawrence from the Lachine Rapids, six miles above Montreal, to Ange Gardien, eight miles below Quebec.The result of this work, on tbe scale of three inches to the sea mile, covering fourteen double elephant sheets, is now before me, of which four have already been sent to England, and the remainder are being copied to transmit to the Admiralty for publication.As an examination of these plans would readily enable your Excellency to judge of the truth of what I now proceed to state, I would have preferred delaying ray report until their publication.But, aware of the great interest taken by the Canadian public generally in all works connected with tbe developement of their trade and the improvement of their great river highway, I have decided not to defer submitting to your Excellency my report of the same, and giving my independent testimony to the value of the vast improvements made of late years in the river St.Lawrence above Quebec.From my arrival at Montreal ou the 26th August, 1858, to the 12th October, 1859, the Montreal Harbour Commission as well as other public bodies and Quebec, have afforded me every necessary information and assistance.The elaborate surveys and plans of soundings of the Harbour Commission, the reports of the various engineers, $c., were ail examined care- fullyjand afforded me complete knowledge of the whole matter, but I felt that to make our survey of real value to the public generally, it ought to be done independent of local aid.ineretorB\u2019 whilst we have communicated freely with Captain Armstrong, and received from him information from time to time as to the existence and removal of obstructions, and the placing of lights aud buoy?, we have ourselves re-sounded the whole length of the navigable channel of the river, a distance of 150 miles, varying in width from one-third to one-halt a mile.These soundings have been carefully reduced to the same level as that adopted by the Harbour Commissioners, and answering to the depth of ten feet three inches on tne flats of Lake St.Peter, and the correctness of which was tested on our arrival at the Lake.I may here state that the water is ordinarily at its lowest during the mouths of August aud September, and seldom has been known to fall lower than ten feet six inches on the Lake St.Peter flats.To carry our chart of the river up to tbe first real obstacle to its navigation, the survey was extended to the Lachine Rapids, and soundings taken above and below the great Victoria Bridge ; some change in tho direction of the channel and set of the current had been effected by the buildiug of tbe Bridge, but the extensive cbaTin-e wrought in fhe Harbour a.nd near ¦\u2019 wharves of Montreal by the dredges of the H arbour Commission were still more noteworthy, and have been faithfully registered on our six inch plan of the Harbour of Montreal.Laboring under no common difficulties,owing to the rapidity of the current off the city wharves, the hard slaty nature of the bottom, and the numerous bouider stones, the Harbour Commissioners have by skillful dredging, both increased the wharf accommodation and the capacity of the Harbour to au extent greater than I could have supposed possible.Still the increased size of the city, its important position as the terminus of the great ocean highway from Great Britain, its numerous steamers, aud its vessels of all sizes, overcrowd the present wharves, and require additional accommodation far beyond any possible improvement of the Harbour, and I cannot but regard the proposed plan of docks at Point St.Charles as eminently calculated to meet the requirements of the growing trade of Montreal, aud Western Canada, and to supply the pressing want of safe winter accommodation for steamers and other vessels ; whilst in connection with the railroad and canals it will aid largely the grand purposes of securing and confining the great western traffic to the valley oftheSi.Lawrence.The immediate neighborhood of the Bridge and Railroad, the security afforded by its embankment from damage by the current, or encroachment by the iee, and the site being the property of the city, seem to point out that part of the Harbour as by far the most eligible.I have now to speak of the river below Montreal.The main channel follows the left bank of tbe river deflected occasionally by shoals of boulder stones, more or less towards the middle of the stream,till we arrive at Point aux Trembles.Here the disturbing confluence of the Ottawa River at the Bout de ITsle is felt, and the river weakened ia its current by the interposition of Isle Ste.Therese and Isle a l\u2019Aigle, divided into three channels, the main body passes into a narrow channel at one place only 762 feet from shore to shore, and sixty-four deep.At the head of this channel, a bank of clay has been cut through and deepened so as to give twenty feet.At about half-a-mile below Yarennes, two lights have been erected on Isle Therese, under the guidance ofwhicb, the traverse towards Cap St.Michel is made.To maiutain a straight channel in this traverse, several obstructions have been carefully removed, and the depth of twenty feet can be carried into the South or Vercheres channel, commencing at Cap St.Michel.By the selection of this channel in preference to the olu, the Commissioners have shown excellent judgment, for by doing so, they avoid the cross currents from the Ottawa River and the many dangerous \u201c pouliots\u201d between Isle a la Bague and Lavaltrie.Along this channel some deepening has been effected to maintain as tar as possible a straight course, com2 plete the convenience of the Vercheres channel there is still required a light on Plum Island.At the end of the Vercheres Islands, the flats off Contrecœur oblige another traverse to be taken towards Lavaltrie, the guidance of two lights eastern, and some dredging has been effected at oue or two points to maintain a straight course, and the requisite depth of twenty feet.Arrived off Lavaltrie Island we enter the cut across the Lavaltrie bar, deepened from fourteen to nineteen feet ; upon the lower part of this canal, Captain Armstrong\u2019s dredges were at work, and we witnessed with pleasure and instruction the able manner in which the dredges scooped up the stiff clay and stones that here form the bed of the river.Two lights in line on Lavaltrie Island lead through this cut until abreast of the Isle Platte, where a white buoy points out a shoal spot, aud the course is deflected to the South East, entering at the distance of two cables the broad deep natural channel of the river which continues without obstruction, and requiring little notice until we have passed Sorel.The ship channel passes in a curve to the northward between Boat and Stone Islands.To lead into his channel, a fixed light has been erected on the east end of Stone Island.A slight change, of course, leaving this light on the left hand, leads on to Lake St.Peter.The great work of deepening Lake St.Peter deserves more than a passing notice.This most judicious and well considered scheme has been ueservedly crowned with complete success, and reflects the greatest credit for the zeal and ability with which the Commissioners have so successfully excavated a channel of eighteen feet through the flats, where in the old time, there was only eleven.The channel over the upper bar, buoyed on the south, once thirteen feet, we found deepened by dredging to twenty feet, and lies in a direct line between tbe Raisin Island light and the Western light-ship.One-and-a-half miles N.62 0 E.from the light-ship we enter the new cut, through the flats.The dredge of the Harbour Commission has deepened this in the upper part from fifteen to eighteen feet, and lower down from eleven feet to eighteen and nineteen feet, in all a distance of seven miles in an easterly direction to the lower pool.The cut channel is of the uniform width of three hundred feet, and is buoyed on the south side, at short distances of less than half-a-mile.The lower part of this channel is excellently marked out by the Eastern light-ship and light on Pointe du Lac, but to mark the requisite change of course occurring three-and a-quarter miles below the centre light-ship for safe navigation by night, there is something more required than buoys.I should propose to place there another floating light or high beacon, removable at the close of the navigation.Above and below the Eastern light-ship which is on the lower bar, the channel has been dredged to the depth of nineteen feet for the distance of one mile.On passing the light this channel bends to the southward, and the course of E.S.E.marked out by buoys, leads at the distance of half-a-mile from the light-ship into the deep water of the natural channel, until the lights at Port St.Francis come in line ahead.Following the usual channel which passes close to Three Rivers, at two miles below Cap de la Madeleine, we arrive at tbe Proveuche shoals.Here the channel used by the pilots only secures a narrow depth of barely nineteen feet; but following the main channel to the southward of the shoals, a depth of twenty-ibur feet can bé maintained.This has been recommended by the Harbour Commission, but to make this available by night as well as by day, there should be two lights near the church at Cap de la Madeleine and the two lights below, one on Bigot Island and the other near Champlain church.The channel alter this follows the north bank of the river until arriving at Batiscan wharf, two lights astern direct a traverse towards Cape Levrard to avoid the St.Anne shoals.The skill of Captain Armstrong has been tested to maintain a depth of twenty feet at low water, passing Cap Levrard.But by careful dredging he has at last succeeded.From our sounding aud inspection of the original survey, 1 am disposed to think that the rizer Batiscan and St.Anne entering the St.Lawrence at right angles to its course may occasionally make changes and cause obstructions in the channel, aud that at the commencement of each navigable season it would always be prudent to examine this and other intricate passes in the river below Montreal.Two lights at Grondines in line, conduct the vessel from Cap Levrard on an E.N.E.course until two other lights on Cape St.Charles come in line E.S.E.Below these the channel is wide and deep, and a due arrangement of lights lead over the Richelieu Rapids and past the Platon, and so on to Quebec.Throughout this remaining distance of thirty-five miles, the river maiutaius a broad deep channel with the Paget and Trembles shoals extending from the north side.Below Pointe aux Trembles the flats or bordage strewed with boulder stones contract, and the channel extends nearly from shore ts shore.Narrowed to half a mile opposite the Chaudière, and confined .between high banks, depth increases to 174 feet.The great improvements on either bank of the river near Quebec, snowed the necessity of our resurvey, and a carelul resounding discovered a decrease in the oeptn as given in the survey of 182 7, m many places amounting to thirty-six feet.r 'u J°u*)ries3 due to the immense quan-* ^ 1 r*llast thrown overboard from the vessels frequenting Quebec for the last thirty jears.I have always been of opinion that this must prove eventually injurious, and accumu-ate in those parts where tbe increased width of e river diminishes the downward current, and allows the water to spread.To °hviate this I would respectfully urge the necessity of a regulation,obliging vessels to de posit their ballast in open blocks provided for the purpose along the edge of the bordage or the flats of St Charles.In conclusion when the plans of the river nre published it will be apparent to all how judiciously and successfully have all tbe late improvements been carried out and also how entirely^ the added facilities for the navigation of this river are a benefit to the whole people, and how eminently calculated to increase the trade and commerce of the Canadas with the whole world.With great respect, I subscribe myself, Your Excellence\u2019s humble aervani JOHN ORLEBAK.Commander in

Sandwich, C.W., last week, Mr.Geo.Bullock, Ex-Treasurer of the county, was sentenced to six months imprisonment in the county jail\u2014the lightest sentence allowed by the statute\u2014for embezzlement of the public funds.This is a case of more than ordinary interest, affecting as it does an old aud one who has heretofore been considered one of the most respected citizens of the county.Mr.Bullock had held the office of Treasurer of Essex county through a period of ten years, during which time he had given the utmost satisfaction, and no doubts were entertained of his uprightness and faithfulness.A few mouths since, iu the fluctuation of party politics, Mr.Bullock found himself in the minority in the county, and was removed summarily from his office, and no time given him even to post his books.An investigation of his books and accounts was directed by the County Council, and the political opponents of the ex-Treasurer were entrusted with the commission.A careful examination disclosed a deficiency of about ijp35, for the embezzlement of which he is now convicted and sentenced as above.Mr.Bullock is abundantly able to pay this amount, but feeling a consciousness of innocence in the matter, and actuated also by party feeling, he preferred to submit to a trial, expecting to establish his innocence.____ But in this he failed, as it was shown that he had received certain monys for taxes ou wild lands, which he had bsen ordered to use for the current expenses of the county, and which he had not entered on the regular books of the office.His private memorandum of these receipts and expenditures was not received iu evidence, and a conviction, therefore, could not be avoided.The scene in court at the time of his sentence was most affecting.Even the presiding Justice was moved to tears iu view of the necessity that devolved upon him of passing sentence upon one who has so long resided in the county, and maintained so high social as well as political positions.The case has further grounds for public sympathy in the fact that the wife of the convicted man was at the time upon a bed of sickness, and apparently near her death.It is stated that an effort is to be made to procure a pardon at once.REOEPTION OF THE.PRINCE OF WALES IN TORONTO.[From the \u201c Colonist\" of Saturday.'i ._3 .f the Committee appointed to

the arrivals pass through Canada to Iowa or Wisconsin ; they correspond with their friends, who draw them in the same track they themselves have taken, and instruct them in the same ignorant notions about this Province.The Committee seem to have concluded that the corrective for this established and progressive depreciation of our country as a field for future settlement, can only be effectively remedied by bringing home to the migrating multitude at the other side of the Atlantic the simple and exact truth as to Canada's resources and attractions.They say it is too late to meet the emigrant en route, and then endeavor to correct the erroneous impressions by which he loses the opportunity of settlement here, and we lose large annual additions to our productive population.They therefore suggest responsible, active agents, at Liverpool, Hamburg, Christiana, and whatever port the Canadian line may made a permanent port of call in Ireland.They also recommend such a resident agent at New York, where it appears that 2,000 arrivals, last year, were booked as for Canada, and not less than 8,000 were similarly entered in 1857.The evidence in relation to the value and quantity of the Norwegian and North German emigration is very instructive, and certainly seems to call for agencies at Hamburg and Christiana, or Bergen, if we are desirous to have any considerable additions to our numbers from those sources.One of the most valuable portions of this document will be found to be its exposition of the settled indifference towards the settlement of the country, which has hitherto obtained in the Crown Lands Department.The testimony of Mr.Rnssell, the assistant Commissioner, of Mr.Devine, Provincial Draftsman, of Mr.Hutton of the Board of Agriculture, of Mr.Hen-niker of the British American Land Co., and of other gentlemen, all go to prove one thing\u2014 that the departments administering our public lands have never for a moment considered it any part of their duties to facilitate the settlement of those lands.To direct surveys, to oompile field notes, to make out unreadable returns for troublesome Members of Parliament, and to publish extensive and expensive maps of inaccessible regions, have been all considered of far more consequence than a practical, regular, systematic correspondence and exchange of documents between the Crown Lands Agents and the Emigrant Agents.As an evidence that we exaggerate nothing in this statement, we will quote what Mr.Olemow, the Ottawa City Emigration Agent, says of the impossibility oi getting any assistance whatever from the only class of public employés who are in possession of it\u2014the neighbouring Crown Land Agents ; \u2014 Ques.15.Do you receive communications from the Crown Land Agents of the Ottawa country, or from other persons supplying local information on the foregoing points ?\u2014The Crown Land Agents ot the Ottawa country never communicate with me, nor am I informed upon the subject referred to iu this question by any possessing the local information on the foregoing points.I may here remark, that on my appointment, it was my anxious desire to obtain all this much desired informatioa as suggests itself from the present question, and with this end in view, I placed myself in correspondence with the various Crown Land Agents, as well as other parties who ought to have been enabled to impart much information that would have materially assisted me in the performance of my duties, and which might likewise have resulted with benefit to the Emigrant, and the interests of the country would thereby have been served at the same time ; but I an sorry to add, that answers to my communications were received by me in very few cases, and but little or no attention was paid to this subject either by the Agents or others addressed.\u201d Another serious impediment to new settlements, at least in Western Canada, is the vast quantity of lands retained 11 iu the worse than mortmain clutch\u201d of absentee owners.From the Wardens, Treasurers and Clerks of thirty-four County Councils, the total return of such lauds amounted to within a fraction of three millions and a half of acres ! Only a few years ago the country was agitated from end ,to end by the demand for the secularization of the Clergy Reserves, which did not exceed in quantity this equally unproductive description of roadless, sehoolless, and habitationless land.To us it seems unaccountably strange that the practical people of Upper Canada have devised no remedy for this evil, which must operate most unfavourably upon the continuous and systematic settlement ot all the newer counties, at least.The Committee further recommend some such modification in the present naturalization laws ns may enable aliens to enter at once on the full possession of real property, and to dispose of it as freely as native-born subjects, by bequest, or otherwise.Another recommendation which they make is, that the capitation tax should be altogether abolished, and that the discretionary power of relief allowed to local Agents under the existing economy \u201c should be strictly limited to certain extreme cases.\u201d We can conceive that where a large number of emigrants are brought out by one house\u2014as for example the 2,000 steerage passengers brought by the Canadian Line last year\u2014that the tax of S2 a head on infant and adult may operate to enhance the cost of passage.To a man of small means, with a family oi half a dozen, $12 would be an object; and, even by a great commercial firm, a tax of $4,000 per year on bringing people into the country, must be sensibly felt.By the testimony of Mr.Hugh Allan and others we learn that the fares of the Galway and German lines to New York, are now down to five guineas, whereas our Provincial line take no steerage passengers for less than seven.This, of course, operates in favor of New York, and against the St.Lawrence, and aught to be remedied as speedily as possible.The line has got a noble subsidy, and certainly owes the Province some reciprocal favor.The most debatable recommendation which the Committe has made seems to us to be, that of \u201c an untransferable laud-scrip\u201d to be issued by the proposed Provincial agents, in Europe, \u201c to intending actual settlers alone.\u201d On this head the report is not so full nor so clear as it ought to be, and we have to express our hope, in the public interest, that if Mr.McGee moves tor his committee at a future session, its main if not sole object of inquiry may be into the practicability of protecting such a land scrip graphic prints, and the cover has a mosaic border, printed in gold from lithographic stones.All this work is by Mr.Little of this city.Montreal Bank

favor of such a aud yet is it not open to great and lamentable abuses ?Almost the only argument iu its favour strong enough to overcome our rooted repugnance to such a scrip is that stated by the Committee, where they say that so far as the stranger settler is concerned our vaunted system of \u201cfree grants\u201d is wholly illusory.That the farmers sons, the young people on the spot pick up every desirable \u201cfree grant\u201d as soon as gazetted.We had long heard, but we were not aware that so very few emigrants ever succeeded in obtaining such a prize.This state of things is certainly not creditable to the character of the Province for good faith; we ought to cease honestly at once, from holding out promises and inducements which we cannot realize for the stranger who seeks our shores, confiding implicitly in our public faith.We are not convinced that the Committee have found \u201cthe true remedy,\u201d but they have at all events done their duty in fearlessly pointing out the existence of this system of deception and calling for thé correction.Besides the recommendations at which we have gianced the Report presents to us an exceedingly valuable correspondence, on the subject of the settlement of the country, from Wm.Hamilton, Esq., J.P., of Cantey, on the Gatineau, fromDun-can Sinclair, Esq , Provincial Laud Surveyor, Ottawa,

Mechanics\u2019 Hall yesterday, at 4 p.m.C.J.Coursol, Esq., was called upon to take the chair.The Chairman said that the object of the meeting was the election of an executive com' mittee.He hoped that some gentlemen were prepared to say, whether the best mode of election was by open voting or by ballot.It was then moved by the Hon.John Young, seconded by Thomas Morland, Esq.: 11 That this meeting do now proceed to the election, by ballot, of an Executive Committee of fifteen, with full powers to adopt whatever measures iu their judgment may be necessary to carry out the object of the subscribers to the Prince of Wales Reception Fund ; aud that Messrs.Baker and Forbes be requested to act as scrutineers.\u201d In moving this resolution, the Hon.John Young said, that though he considered the amount of the contributions small, he was in favour of proceeding at once ; and hoped that the committee, when named, would put themselves iu communication with the Mayor and Corporation, aud that no one would allow himself to be put upon the committee, who was not willing to devote a considerable amount of his time to the work.The motion was then put and carried unanimously.It was then moved by Mr.Delisle, seconded by Mr.Seymour : That the said Committee be, and are hereby authorised to fill up any vacancy, which may occur in their body by the non-compliance, resignation, or otherwise of any of their members.\u201d It was moved in amendment by Mr.Perry, seconded by Dr.Jones : \u201c That the following words be added, \u2018 provided the same be filled up by the next parties having the greatest number of votes.\u2019 \u201d The Hon.John Young said that those thus secondly elected might be in the same position ; aud that the meeting, by passing such an amendment, would manifest little confidence in the Committee it was about to elect.The amendment was put and lost.Yeas, 32 ; Nays, 34.It was then moved by Mr.Bulmer, seconded by Mr.Lewis : 11 That in

measures in their power,to protect the interests of the Bank and ward off further loss.A pressure, however, so general and severe upon a community already flagging and enfeebled by previous disaster, and but slowly struggling towards recovery, has affected every interest in the country, the banks in common with all others.Personal securities with one, two or three parties, ostensibly solvent, on the same amount, became one by one rapidly impaired, and real estate securities, if saleable at all, could only find a market at ruinously reduced prices.Under such a state of things, the Board seeing that assets which a year ago were consid ered reliable for 20s.in the pound had becoma materially reduced in value, considered it their duty to decide at once as to the best mode of dealing with the emergency.Whatever difference of opinion popular sentiment may advance as to meeting prospective losses of this kind iu a bank, whether by spreading them over a given period of time or writing them all off at once, this Board deemed their true course to lie in dealing with the difficulty promptly and openly meeting it by a corresponding reduction of the Reserve Fund and a reduction of the dividend.This course,however unpopular, the Board have pursued, believing it their duty at all hazards as to popular feeling, to keep the stock of the bank unburthened by overvalued assests,and unclogged by hidden troubles, in order that the reserve fund may always be what it purports to be, a clear item over aud above the capital of the bank, and a healthy and a reliable surplus.From estimates recently made of several estates in liquidation, the Board have reason to believe that the assets of the Bank ia the western portion of the Province have within the past year, from causes above referred to, been depreciated from twenty to twenty-five thousand pounds.It has been decided to adopt the larger amount, and to add to it five thousand pounds more for possible loss, consequent upon inactivity of capital, and delay iu winding up estates\u2014making in all £30,000 to be taken from the Reserve Fund, as per the following statement: \u2014 ABSTRACT FROM THE BOOKS OF THE CITY

and well divide! into three acts, the first terminating with the news ot Efiie\u2019s shame, the second with the sentence at the trial, the third with the pardon.There is, probably, no actress on the stage could play this part like Miss Robertson.She threw wonderful pathos into her scenes with Effie, and grand in the extreme was her scene iuthe highwaymen\u2019s hut, whera so many delicate little bits of light and shade laid ou with masterly pencil and her burst of nervous exultation at the final success of her mission was a powerful climax.This lady\u2019s performance must be seen to be appreciated.Every word, look, aud gesture are studies of themselves much heightened by her charming accent, Fisher is as great.His caste at the end of the first was thrilliug, his scene with his daughter before the trial aud his by play during the trial scene were irresistably touching.Miss Crocker played Effie very pret-ily.She looked the part to perfection.Mr.Wright\u2019s part of the counsel for the defence was vigorous and original.The best complement we can pay him is, that he looked, spoke aud moved like a lawyer.The completeness of the trial scene was very creditable to the management, all the formalities of the Scottish court were gone through great historical correctness.Mr.Mc- with Donough in the last act as Argyle\u2019s servant was exceedingly comic.The Crops in Upper Canada.\u2014Nothing can be of greater importance to us even in Lower Canada than the state of the Upper Canadian crops.It is, therefore, with a great deal of pleasure that we hear from all quarters the most glowing accounts of the present promise of a good harvest.The wheat crop and the lumber are the mainspring of our prosperity, and we trust that the producers of both kinds will find this year that ample return for their labours which they have lately lost in more than one season.Handbook op Montreal, Quebec, and Ottawa Cities.\u2014This is a little guide book got up by Mr.Mooie

the 4th June, at noon.Mr.William Murray was called to the Chair, and Mr.J.M.Ross requested to act as Secretary, aud the same gentleman and Mr.B.Hutchins acted as scrutineers.The Balance Sheet and usual statements were submittted to the Meeting, and the President gave some explauations upon the various items in the same, and upon the general features of the business for the past year.In reading the Report, the President also dwelt at considérable length on the causes which had occasioned the reduction of the dividend, aud of the reserve Fund.REPORT: The period named in the charter for holding Annual Meetings of Shareholders of this Institution has again returned, and it is the duty of the Directors to place before you statements of its affairs, with such information respecting its condition and management as the Charter directs.In compliance with this requirement you will find the proper statements on the table.From these documents it will be seen that the business done during the year just closed has been of a limited but safe character.The last traces of the recent commercial panic may be said to have disappeared iu Lower Canada, where a healthy business tone has again been established ; but iu Upper Canada the commercial difficulties and money pressure, which for such a protracted period have afflicted that section of the Province, instead of disappearing or finding relief from the recent abundant harvest, appear to have increased and produced in some localities great prostration in many branches of trade.The hopes of Upper Canada were last year largely staked on the chances of the then coming harvest, under the persuasion that a good crop would bring immediate relief from the difficulties under which she then laboured.Although the crop more than equalled the most sanguine expectations, the looked for benefits were not realized.On the contrary, the depression seemed to increase, and to such an extent as to compel many parties, who had entered into stipulations with their creditors for the settlement of their affairs, to forego such arrangements through actual inability to fulfil their conditions.Results so sad and so unprecedented in any previous commcreial pressure ; have cast gloom and uncertainty over every monetary and commercial relation in that portion of the Province, and rendered ineffectual and inoperative the most careful calculations as to the value cf assets.Estimates based upon such have consequently proved false,and a second suspension and a second settlement has in some cases,been the final result.These events which have chiefly been confined to the last six months of the year just closed, have been watched by the Board with deep anxiety, and their most earnest attention - there, as the endorsers have come forward, except in a few cases, in a most respectable manner, and made the liabilities directly their own, paying a part or the whole, or giving undoubted security on time.No loss will be suffered here beyond what was estimated and written off years ago.The large number of traders, in Upper Canada, whose affairs are in difficulty from over speculation iu landed property, and fcom other causes, the impaired condition of Mercantile credit, with the impoverishment of every in terest consequent thereon, have given rise to wide spread discontent and impatience for relief, through a general Bankrupt Law in that section of the Province.The destruction of assets and the ruin of the interests of creditors which past Bankrupt Laws produced while iu operation in this Province, sufficiently demonstrate to any unbiassed mind the inexpediency of applying such a remedy for any of our commercial difficulties.Under any circumstances, or with any modification, its adoption would be most dangerous, but in the present eouditiou of some parts of the country it would operate as the lighting of a torch of destruction to the hard earned savings of the honest and industrious trader, struggling to meet his engagements, by enabling hundreds ot others, actuated by less worthy principles, to avail themselves of this mode of getting rid of their engagements without redeeming them when,by ordinarypatient industry and economy, they would have little difficulty in doing so.Like causes produce like effects, and it is needless in future to hope for other than the same class of results which have followed in the wake of past measures of this kind.Common sense as well as experience clearly points out the absurdity and the injustice of a compulsory withdrawal ot the management o\u201e control of pro-nertv Wn its rightful owners, the creditors, ana the placing^ or estates in the hands ot Bailiffs, Commissioners, or other legal functionaries, often totally unacquainted with business, and unconcerned as to how they may turn out, or what amount of dividend they may ultimately realise.No unfortunate, honest,indus trions trader will ever be denied a discharge from a certain majority of his creditors,and none should be on giving up his estate and aiding his creditors to make the most ot it.Estates managed by creditors themselves, aided by the debtor, will in many cases pay two shillings for one that they would pay under any Bankrupt Court proceedings.\u2014 But, unfortunately, under our existing Commercial Law, any one factious or cunning creditor, however small his claim may be, can upset the united action of all the others.And under the hope that the other creditors will yield, rather than suffer the entire proceedings in the premises to be upset, a course of this kind is often adopted by parties who, although secretly approving of the proposed arrangements, wilt stubbornly stand out under the hope of being bought off by the payment of their claims in full.What, therefore, is wanted to obviate the difficulty and to render justice and every protection to the honest debtor, is simply a short act empowering, under prescribed conditions, as simple as possible, a certain majority of creditors to manage and control estates of insolvent debtors.\u2014 The decision of such majority always to be binding on all the creditors, and to protect the debtor from annoyance or opposition on the part of the minority, thus leaving debtor and creditors iu their own Court to settle and arrange their business in their own way.A law of this character would save immense litigation, years of delay aud millions of money in the winding up of Bankrupt Estates.In view of the large interest which this Institution has at stake, the Board have considered it not inappropriate in their Report to refer at some length to this most important question.The Charter provides for the election to-day of a new Board of Directors, and the scrutineers will now receive your votes for that purpose.On behalf of the Board it will afford me pleasure to give any information to stockholders present, that the Charter permits, ou matters pertinent to the business of this meeting.Tne whole, nevertheless, most respectfully submitted, WILLIAM WORKMAN, President.It was then moved by Mr.C.A.LOW, and seconded by Mr.J.OAVERHILL : \u201c That the Report now read be adopted and printed for the information of the Stockholders .\u201d The CHAIRMAN on putting this motion to the meeting observed that he would take this opportunity of remarking, that at first he confessed he had entertained some prejudice against the Board in consequence of out-door exaggerated Reports, but on listening to the explanations given by the President he had entirely changed his views, and now considered that instead of the Directors meeting any censure, they were entitled to sympathy.The resolution was then passed unanimously.It was then moved by Mr.J.J.DAY, seconded by Mr.R.WOOD, \u201cThat while this meeting cannot but regret the causes which have forced upon the Board the necessity of writing off from the Reserve Fund so large an amount to meet losses in Upper Canada, it is nevertheless felt that the Directors arc entitled to the thanks of the Stockholders for their continued attention to the interests of the Bank, and that the President should be requested to accept the sum of Five Hundred Pounds for his services.\"\u2014Passed unanimously.The PRESIDENT returned thanks for the vote of five hundred pounds.A conversation then took place ou the subject of paying the Directors,\u2014when, there appearing no other business before the meeting, Mr.N.S.WHITNEY moved, seconded by Mr.William MoDUNALD : \u201cThat the Chairman do now leave the Chair, and Mr.Charles A.Low be requested to take the same, when thanks were voted to Mr.Murray for his conduct in the Chair.\u201d The Scrutineers afterwards presented the following Report :\u2014 City Bank,\t3 Montreal, June
