SPECIAL TELEGRAM TU THE \u201cHERALD\".Oofcourg, 20th.Nomination of Candidates for West Northumberland took place here at 6 P.M.The Candidates were the Hon Sidney Smith and Mr James Cockburn, Sheriff.Mr.Fortune, the Returning Officer, decided that the show of hands was in favor of Hon 8 Smith, but it was nearly a tie.Mr.Cockburn was confident that he had most hands.About 1000 or 1200 persons were present.The Ministry and the Banks.\u2014Mr.John A.McDonald has made a statement with respect to the position of the Government towards the Upper Canada Bank, which if it turn out to be true will certainly take many of our business men by surprise.He said at one of the political meetings which he has been lately attending, that the Government not being quite satisfied with the position of the Upper Canada Bank, made an investigation into its affairs, obtaining for that purpose the assistance of the \u201cmanagers of the other Banks\"\u2014whatever number that may include.He farther informed his hearers that these \u201cmanagers of the other Banks\u201d had joined in a request to the Government to continue to keep its accounts there, and so prevent the Bank from shutting its doors.Moreover, he said that in order to promote this arrangement the managers of the other Banks \u201c made an advance out of their own funds, the Upper Canada Bank being in a \u201c little temporary difficulty.\u2019' Now it is known that at the time when Mr.Galt was in Toronto on the subject of the Upper Canada Bank, the managers of the Bank of Montreal, and of the Bank of B.N.A., were there also.We think the manager of the Commercial was another of the party.Now it would have relieved a great deal of anxiety on the part of persons through whose hands Upper Canada notes pass in the course of business, as well as on the part of stockholders, who have lately been anything but easy as to their prospects, if this statement had been earlier given to the world.We think that the authorities of the Upper Canada Bank owed it to those concerned to let it be known that thev had such respectable endorsement, as that of the Managers of the Montreal and B.N.A.Banks, instead of allowing their stockholders to go blindly to work, getting rid of their shares at all sorts of extravagant discounts.It is true that a statement was made through that very untrustworthy source the Leader, that several of the other Banks had agreed to club their respectable specie reserve with the deficient stock of the Upper Canada, aud thus create a league offensive and defensive.But this was felt to be too absurd for credence, and no one believed it.If the facts are as Mr.McDonald avers, however, they shonld have teen made known before now.We only hope that the facts are as stated.Thb Elections.\u2014One of the curses of popular institutions is the mode of working the particular dodge at elections.A body, forming part of the whole ; bat having some special conditions and special interests, chooses to set up one of these interests as a test question at the hustings.They are to vote for no man however good, nor upon any facts in the history of the country however important.Their sole rule is \u2014 to support any man, however bad, to throw their weight into any cause however ruinous to the country if they can only farther their own c rotchets.This is the plan adopted just now by some Clergymen of the Methodist denomination, with that arch jobber in casual advantages, Egerton Ryerson at their head.They want to get a grant for their theological Colleges, and this they have been agitating for several years.The Elections having now come on they advise all who will listem to them to vote for any man no matter of what party, who will give them this money, and against any man, no matter of what party, who will refuse it.The whole interests of the country are thus to be sacrificed to a trumpery grant for educating two or three score of young men.Would it not be cheaper and more just for those who want this money to put their hands into their own pockets, and having subscribed their funds have their consciences free, and be able to act for the reduction of the ruinous charges of the Government, which will cost them far more, than they will save by getting out of the public Treasury the few dollars that an equitable assessment would take from the pockets of each.United States News.\u2014The recent news from the States is very favorable to the Federal Government.The success of General Lyon is confirmed, and the action fought by him near Boonville is decidedly the most important which has yet occurred.Three hundred slain in an engagement, such as that which isreport- 1 ; ï 1 k\tVIi lU3\tGpfPfn't;, -i?ft.sou iu full Sight before tha victor, ç,nd St.Louis held by a population the major part of which is decidedly anti-secession, the State of Missonri may be already considered as won back from the rebels.Vienna, where the late check was experienced, has also been occupied by the Federal troops ; and a small success has been obtained in Kansas.The importance of these military events, however, is entirely surpassed by the political movement which has been consummated at Wheeling, the seat of the Provisional Government of Western Virginia.An ordinance has passed iu the Convention sitting at that place, for re-organizing the new State, and repeating the oaths of fidelity to the United States.This step not only tends to cut the rebel line during the continuance of the war ; but at the close of the war it secures to the Free States at least one addition, even if it does not detach the whole ot Virginia, and so deprive the Slave States of the vote it conveys to the North.Tee Counties or Lennox and Addington.\u2014 We think from the subjoined extinct that the chances of Mr.David Roblin for re-election are rather bad.Mr.Roblin is a worthy relative of Mr.John P.Roblin, who, daring Mr.John A.Macdonald\u2019s first incumbency of a ministerial office, accepted a bribe of three small commissions from the Government, and so vacated his seat and broke np the Oxford Election Committee, as a member of which he had taken a solemn oath to try tha contest between Mr.Riddell and Mr.Hincks.Mr.David Roblin has followed precisely in the path of public life traced out for his family.Ha does not speak but votes hard.He is moreover a very pious Methodist, strongly in favour of grants to the colleges of that denomination, and the best player at the classic game of all-fours, into whose hands green legislators are likely to fall at the seat of Government.With these few remarks we add the paragraph : Onr readers have already been made acquainted, by the letter of a correspondent at Napanee, with the fact that dissatisfaction has been manifested by the conservative electors of Lennox and Addington at several of the past acts of Mr.David Roblin in Parliament.A section, and we believe not an unimportant section, of the libera! conservatives of this constituency entertain the idea that Mr.Roblin has been too slavish in his support of the administration.\u2014 The popular doctrine of representation by population, or something akin to it, has found its way into Lenncx and Addington, as it has into every other Upper Canada electoral district ; and a sentiment has been created in favor of amending the disparity in the representation of the two Provinces.Mr.Roblin by his vote in Parliament has opposed the settlement of this question ; and hence there is a lack of accord between him and a great number of tbe electors.Mr.Augustus Hooper, the choice of the liberal conservative convention, announces himself in his address in favor of an adjustment of our parliamentary representation, and says :\u2014\u201c The long agitated question of representation by population has received a new impetus by the recent census returns, and I will, if elected, lend my aid to effect such a readjustment ot our representation in Parliament as will give Upper Canada that additional weight in the legislature which its increasing population calls for.\u201d There is another sentence in Mr.Hooper\u2019s address which will be read approvingly by the independent electors.It is this :\u2014\u201c Responsible Government imposed with it the obligation that those who govern us should enjoy the confidence of the country ; and I entirely disapprove of the course pursued in retaining the present Solicitor General in the Cabinet when it had been repeatedly demonstrated that he was unable to procure a seat iu Parliament \u201d Mr.Hooper is an energetic man of business, conversant in every respect with the wants and interests of the important counties he seeks to represent.He stands high in the esteem of the yeomanry of the townships, and public confidence has recently been manifested in him by his election to the honor of Warden in the United Counties of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington.Mr.Hooper\u2019s friends may well be sanguine in their hopes of his success.There is only one remark to add to the foregoing\u2014it is that it seems rather hard far the Daily News thus to condemn Mr.Roblin for his steady votes in favour of ministerial wrongdoings, while it supports Mr.John A.MacDonald in the next constituency.Surely Mr.MacDonald\u2019s friends ought to have some feeling for the evil done by other men from devotion to the same chieftain.Two Days\u2019 Later from Europe.\u2014By the arrival at New York, yesterday, of the Cunard Steamship \u201c Africa,\u2019\u2019 from Liverpool on the 8th, and Queenstown on the 9th instant, wo have two days\u2019 later news from Europe.The only important feature of the news\u2014which will be found under our telegraphic heading\u2014 is the final\u2014it is to be hoped\u2014settlement of the Syrian question.Prince Napoleon, it will be seen, while interdicted by tbe Emperor from visiting the United States, will probably, visit Canada this summer.Equestrian Statue to the Queen.\u2014Yes-terday in consequence of a notice without signature, it was supposed that there would be a public meeting to get up a subscription for an Equestrian Statue to the Prince of Wales accordingly at 4 o\u2019clock, the Lord Bishop of Montreal and Gen.Sir W.F.Williams assembled at the Rooms of the Montreal Board of Trade, and were joined by Mr.D.E.MacDougall and Mr.Townsend.There were besides five reporters present.These gentlemen having taken their seats, a tew others one by one ascended the stairs, and looked in ; but retired without entering.The four gentlemen sat for some little time ; but at length adjourned, the reporters having had ao opportunity fur the exercise of their function.City Improvements.\u2014We see with a good deal of satisfaction that Mr.Jno.Torrance is making a very considerable improvement on the property belonging to him, which forms the corner of St.Antoine and Mountain Streets.At that corner there have been for a number of years a collection of disreputable looking one story wooden shanties, the inmates of whio h derived apparently, their chief revenues by the supply of such creature comforts as were needed by the cabmen on the stand opposite.Ail these buildings have been removed\u2014removed whole indeed\u2014by Mr.Councillor McCready, who has established them for the future on less valuable ground, and their places will be occupied by new buildings of a character more in accordance with the present condition of the neighbourhood.Another improvement which we notice in the city is the adoption of the recommendation in Mr.McQuisten\u2019s report for the use of stone crossings instead of the wooden ones heretofore in use.The stone crossings will be a great advantage to foot passengers and a great economy to the city, which had to be constantly laying out money on the springing splashing boards heretofore in use.Opposition Meeting in the Western Division.\u2014Another very numerously attended meeting was held on Wednesday evening in Ohaboillez Square, in the Western Division, which was opened by a few appropriate remarks from Mr.McGrath, city Councillor.A long and forcible speech by Mr.McGee was enthusiastically applauded, as was also a French speech by the Hon.Mr.Dorion.Mr.nolton, in response to repeated calls, came forward and said a few words, expressing his entire concurrence with the previous speakers, and his hope of being able to address them at greater length, on an early evening.The vast concourse broke up about palf-past ten o\u2019clock with several hearty rounds of cheers \u201cfor the three Candidates,\u201d of the Opposition.Fire Last Night in Grey Nun Street.\u2014 Between seven and eight o\u2019clock last night a fire bioke out iu the stores in Grey Nunn street said to be owned by the Messrs.Lymans, and at present occupied by one Rooney.The place had been used for rectifying oil, bat this, we learned, had some months since been discontinued, and the process of rectifying spirits was carried on instead.A quantity of oil and spirits is said to have been stored in the orem tsee, which added fuel to the flames.The Fire Brigade were promptly on the spot, and bv their activity and energy checked the progress of the fire, but the building\u2014a.three story oSne-! was completely gutted, audit was near eleven o\u2019clock before the firemen could safely desist from their task.The origin of the fire was un known.The Seceding States______The New York Herald, in its summary of the news by the Jura says :\u2014 A British ship had arrived in the Clyde from one of the Southern ports of America, and was received under a clearance signed by the rebel officers of customs, and dated \u201cthe first year of the independence of the Confederate States of America.\u201d\ti PS misisd la oar eptinjata of the cacdidai-c; in the field for Stanstead.He says that Dr.Gilbert, in his address, with thorough Lankness, comments upon and denounces, in the most unmeasured terms, all the shameless acts of the Ministry.Mr.Knight, on the other hand, although generally considered an honest and independent man, has issued one of those noncommittal addresses, which leave their authors, if successful, at liberty, without a direct breach of promise, to join the ranks of either party.\u2014 We are assured by our correspondent that, unless he is much more explicit iu his condemnation of the ministry, notwithstanding his general popularity, Mr.Knight will not be elected.From the report of a meeting of electors held at Danville, on the 17;h instant, we learn that Mr.Webb will bo opposed in the County of Richmond by Mr.John Mackenzie, of Melbourne, and by Mr.Ducaz, a French gentleman, from France, who settled in that section of the country some four or five years ago.\u2014 Mr.Sanburn, of Sherbrooke, is also spoken of as a candidate for Richmond.Mr.Pope, the late member, will, we understand, be unopposed in Compton.In Drummond and Arthabaska Mr.Dunkin will be opposed by Mr.J.B.E.Dorion.Ottawa City ELEOTiON.-sWe learn, by spe cial telegram, that the late member, Mr.R.W.Soott, was yesterday re-elected by acclamation.Although generally voting with the Ministry, Mr.Scott has earned for himself, during his past service in Parliament, the respect even of his political opponents as a thoroughly honest man.He is one of the few independent supporters ot the Ministry.\u2014whose re-election to Parliament we cannot regret.County of St.Macrioe.\u2014Mr.G.H.Macau, lay, formerly a resident of Montreal, and latterly of Three Rivers, offars himself as a candidate for the County of St Maurice, in opposition to Mr Desaulniers, who has become a regular Ministerialist.Mr Macaulay\u2019s address appears iu the French papers of the District ; it is thoroughly liberal.County cp Glengarry.\u2014The nomination for Glengarry takes place on Monday next, the polling days being fixed for 3rd and 4th July ; for them there will be no occasion, we believe, since in all piobability no opposition willjbe made to the return of the late member, D.A, Macdonald, one of the most consistent and firm Liberals in the Legislative Assembly, whose popularity in the House and with his constituents is surpassed by none.Elections at London and Hamilton.\u2014At a meeting held at London for the purpose of presenting Mr.Jno.Wilson with a requisition to become a candidate for that place, Mr.Wilson appeared and made a telling speech against the Government and the present member j but for private reasons declined to stand.It is said that had ha run he would have certainly succeeded.In Hamilton, Mr.Freeman stands, on the opposition side, against Mr.Buchanan.Grenville.\u2014Mr.Patrick is opposed by Dr.Jessup, a gentleman who claims independence because he conceives that he has been wronged by the G.T.Company.In short he is a man with a claim, which in Parliament he would soon convert into cash.Brockville.\u2014Mr.Watrons contests this constituency with Mr.Sherwood.Mr.Watrons is a farmer, residing in the outlying part of the constituency.South Lanark.\u2014Mr.Dorau opposition against Col.Playfair, ministerial.Bussel.\u2014It is said that the contest between G.B.L.Fellowes, John W.Loux, and Dr Hunter, will be a close one.Fellowes and Loux have been tried and \u201cfound wanting.\u201d Hunter it is said, would be more Liberal and perhaps his success would be the moat desirable.Oarleton.\u2014Robert Lyon, who is a brother of Fellowes, is likely to beat Powell, the present member.Edmund Malloch is also named in connection with Carleton.Stormont and Cornwall.\u2014It is said that Mr J S McDonald intends tanning for both Stormont and Cornwall.Mr Ault will also run for Stormont, in the room of Mr Mattice.Mr McDonald is to be opposed in Cornwall by Dr Bergin.Dundas.\u2014Mr.Crysler will oppose Mr.Cook in this Riding.mi > ;\tM\u2019/Jié! \u2022 \u2022\u2022 ; if\til W' j.- «Jt îsm; » j.vary for which you have given me credit, that, amid the turmoil, the harrassiug anxiety of business engagements, there have been occasions when I may have manifested a somewhat impatient haste in my official intercourse with you ; but, gentlemen, believe me, for I say it in all sincerity, that on such occasions I have never failed to regret it ; and if at any time I have been enabled to do any one the least service, it has always been a source of gieat satisfaction to myself.Again lhanking you for your kindness, and assuring you that I shall never cease duly to appreciate it, I shall only add, that so long as it shall please God to vu uchsafe to me the blessings of health and strength, I shall esteem it a privilege to be allowed to continue to perform the duties of the office to which you have called me ; and if at any time I shall want a stimulus to more zsalous exertions in the performance of those duties, I shall never fail to find it in the recollection of the kindly feelings on your part which has prompted this, to me, most acceptable and gratifying recognition of them.Canadian Timber in Europe.\u2014The following is from the London Canadian News of the 4th instant :\u2014 \u201c Among the many energetic steps which have been taken by the Canadian Government to develope the resources of their country, a special agent was some time ago dispatched to Europe for the purpose of colleeting information relative to the timber trade, and bringing more immediately under notice the valuable descriptions of timber produced in Canada.\u2014 Mr.Quinn, the supervisor of cullers at Quebec, who was selected for this duty visited all the principal ports of England and then proceeded to the continent, visiting the chief ports of France, Holland, Belgium, and Germany.\u2014 Mr.Quinn submitted to the authorities aud merchants specimens of the Canadian woods, and, we are glad to say, has been most successful in his efforts, several cargoes having been ordered for France, Holland.Belgium, Hamburg, and Bremen.Although at this period of the year tbe arrangements had

being paid.We may now consider cur Spring grocery trade fairly over, and we shail take the opportunity of reviewing some of the leading articles.Taken altogether it has not been satisfactory for our Merchants.Naturally from last year\u2019s bountiful harvest anticipating a very material increase, not only in articles of luxury, but also ofstaplo goods, they imported heavily far an excess of previous years as our last weeks tables Shew, thinking that the material prosperity of the country would fully justify them.Their well-founded expectations have to a great extent been defeated, not by any want of Agricultural prosperity, but, by tbe extraordinary state of affairs in the United States.Our Western Grocery Markets are more or less ruled by the New York Market, and this year owing to intestine troubles that market has been nearly paralized; and Western men who can generally buy here to a profit, have been induced to purchase the bulk of their staple groceries there.We shall this
