or, lastly, whether he hoped to cajole Garibaldi, and make him his instrument, invited to Turin the very man, whose views were most directly opposed to those which the new Ministry were expected to favor.Garibaldi, after his visit, left the capital, enthusiastically loyal, and charged as the representative of Prince Humbert, to organize volunteer clubs throughout the kingdom.His progress has everywhere stirred up the popular ardour, and we imagine it is now thought that Louis Napoleon fears the revolutionary spirit, which he holds like a wolf by the ears, will get the better of his opposition, and, therefore, is determined once more to head in order that he may also control it.Mr.Russell\u2019s Del < t&s' for Enoland.\u2014The Boston Traveller thinks Mr.Russell's expulsion from the Federal camp a very small business.We think so too.The Traveller adds that he said as many good things as hard ones of the Americans, and hints that they are still so far from perfect that a little more wholesome criticism would not be thrown away.Count Nesselrode.\u2014Count Nesselrode's death was announced by the mail which arrived last week.He was a man who pl-iyed one of the very first parts in the great European drama of the beginning of the century.He was at first an officer in the Russian army, but feeling a cal[ towards diplomacy he obtained a transfer to that service, and speedily acquired great favour with the Emperor Alexander.He was his ambassador for some time at Paris, and gained the esteem of the Emperor Napoleon.He was one of the select party on the raft when the two Emperors met, at the time of the treaty of Tilsit, and, until the fall of Napoleon, was Alexander\u2019s chief adviser.Nesselrode had not only a talent for diplomacy, but a love of it as the alternative of war, the horrors of which had made a great impression on his mind.He believed that this scourge of mankind could often be avoided at the beginning of national misunderstandings, which he saw often arose from very small and personal piques.Hence, after the treaty of Vienna, which he negotiated on the part of Russia, he planned and succeeded in establishing that league, which has been since ironically called the Holy .Alliance, but which seriously bound itself to be guided solely by the doctrines of Christianity in the government of Europe.Neither the times nor the parties to the alliance were favourable to the acknowledgment or extension of political liberty; but there is reason to believe that the Sovereigns who thus bound themselves did desire to prevent the recurrence of those hideous wars, which had desolated all their kingdoms.Hence the alliance provided for periodical congresses, which were in some sort to serve as international tribunals.Nesselrode did not take a very prominent part in public affairs aftér the pacific settlement of Europe, which followed the downfall of Napoleon, though he continued to be an adviser of the Emperor Nicholas.In that capacity, and still with his old hatred of war, he did his best to dissuade his master from that invasion of Turkey which gave rise to the Crimean war, and by breaking up the confidence which bad prevailed in old alliances, closed the really peaceful era which had prevail-I between the European naixons since Waterloo and opened that armed peace and warlike expectation which has followed the capture of Sebastopol.It is said that his remonstrances wilh Nicholas were lively enough to amount almost to threats.attack fiercely, contrary nature, selves by these.Volunteer Turn Out.\u2014We perceive that, through the kindness of Lord Paulet, there is every hope of the Champ de Mars being in good order for the Volunteer Parade, which is to take place on Friday afternoon next,\u2014two hundred men of the Garrison being employed in removing the snow.The Volunteer Force will be reviewed at three o'clock on Friday afternoon by General Williams, after which they will be inspected by the Deputy Adjutant-General for Lower Canada, who has received instructions from His Excellency the Governor -General to report upon the state of efficiency of the Montreal Volunteer Force.We hope, for the credit of Montreal, that the merchants, Ac., of the city will allow their employées to be absent from their places of business on that day ; and that the city may have reason to be proud of this turn out of the Volunteers.The Young Mozart Society\u2019s Concert.\u2014Our musical friends will govern themselves by the knowledge that Mr.Davis is about to give another Concert of the Young Mozart Society, to whose musical edneation he has paid so much attention, and with such manifest success, on Thursday evening.\u2014See advertisement.The Latest Stabbing Case.\u2014Henry Blake, the private of the 16th, stabbed about ten days ago in a tavern in St.Mary street, was brought before the Police Magis rate yes erday morning, and deposed that on he night in question, as he was going o his Barracks he was roughly ac-cos ed in a language he did no' understand.He followed the man who spoke m him, with the in-ten ion of asking him what he meant.The person s opped opposi e a tavern, and dragged the soldier in Here Laforest, the elder, seized hold of him, while his son, and the man who pulled him into the house, fell upon him with knives.The soldier soon became insensible, and did not recover un il nex' morning, when he found himself in hospi ah wounded in different, parts of the body.He appeared while in Court, to be suffering still from the injuries he received, and had his left arm tied in a sling.The persons under arrest will probably be tried at the next Court of Quarter Sessions.TO LET, A Neat two-story BRICK HOUSE, No.1 Poplar Place, Mountain Street, with Gas and Water.Rent low.Posses sion 1st May next.Apply to C.TUGGEY.February 8.\t34 TO LET The Handsome VILLA RESIDENCE and GARDEN, with Coach-House and Stabling, No.129 Drummond Street, ______above Sherbrooke Street.Kent moderate.Apply on the Premises, or to HENRY JACKSON, 2 Cornwall Terrace.February 4.\t30 HOTELjrO LET.TO LET, that commodious and central HOTEL, situated in St.Paul Street, opposite the Bonsecours Market, and at present occupied by Messrs.Ville-neuve & Pariseau.The Stables attached to the Hotel will accommodate upwards of fifty horses.Possession on the 1st day of May.Apply to JOHN ATKINSON, No.44 Dorchester Street.February 20.\t44 Stoneybrook Cottage FOR SALE-OR TO LET.The Undersigned has erected the past season a fine GOTHIO VILLA in CAPE ELIZABETH, near the Cape i Cottage, about one mile from Portland, and within three rods of the Ocean.It is well arranged for a Private Family or Boarding House, containing fourteen Rooms ;

for their Congress at Richmond, sitting while the second day\u2019s battle was proceeding, on Monday, passed a vote of thanks to the Divine Ruler of nations for the victory of Sunday ; but adjourned out of respect to the memory of General Johnston, whose death tempered \u201c their exultation with a shade of sadness.\u201d JAS.SKITH, Esq., N.P., St.Francois Xavier Street.2 m mwf 81 FOR m.HOUSE TO LET.^ A very convenient and pleasant HOUSE, No.22, Corner of St.Antoine and St.Edward Streets.Possession on IgtMay next.Apply to A.RAMBAU, 112 Commissioners Street, Or 20 St.Antoine Street.February 6.\t32 TO LET A LARGE COTTAGE, built of Stone, containing Five Apartments and a Kitchen in rear, and Six Rooms above, _______with a LARGE GARDEN well stocked with FRUIT TREES and a House for the Gardener, Outhouses, Shed and Stable and a Large Yard.Further particulars may be known by applying on the Premises, No.173 Sanguinet Street, between 1 and 5 o\u2019clock in the afternoon.L.A.HUGUET LATOUR.March 31.\tmwf 77 THE LADIES of the HOTEL DIEU offer for SALE that portion of their FARM, \u201c LA PROYIDENOE,\u201d lying between Sherbrooke and Bagg Streets, on Oote-a-Barron, and comprising about 47 LOTS, of different dimensions.Persons desirous of purchasing, on application to the said Ladies, at their Establishment \u201c Mont Ste.Famille, or to their Attorney, Mr.WEEKS, may learn the terms of Sale, and be shown a Plan of the Lots January 1, 1861.\tmwf 1 Water Powers & Lots To î*et or Lease, Thh Govirnmbnt Police.\u2014-Tkis force \"vras sworn in yesterday morning by the Superintendant, Mr.Gpursol.The old members will be detailed for active service, and the new men will be drill td till the opening of the navigation.One of the regulations adopted, prohibits any member of the force from keeping tavern, under pain of dismissal.Thb Ice.\u2014The river was watched with some curiosity yesterday, in anticipation of a great shove.A slight shove did occur in the afternoon in front of the Custom House, and the whole of ice-bridge threatened immediate dissolution.the City Mortality'.\u2014The whole number of interments registered last week is 50, nine of which were in the Protestant Cemetery and i 1 in the Roman Catholic.Seven adult males, 8 adult females, 17 male children and 18 female children.The causes of death are classified as follows : \u2014Croup 1;

which have for a long time been regarded as the impregnable fortresses of the realm of elegance It is said that white cravats and hooped petticoats are at last, like all other magnificent things of this world, to be brought to naught.The white cravat, we are told, makes a man look like a clergyman or a waiter.In the first place he is out of his line in the very worldly occupation known as a fast dance ; in the second he may with great loss of dignity be required to execute his sup.posed functions.As to the reasons against crinoline, they are multifarious, but all too nearly allied to the mysteries of the great dimity sublimity to permit of discussion in a purely secular newspaper.Assuming, however, that the revolutionists shall carry out their subversive designs, we have that momentous question, which has so frequently been held to be suflicient to prezent too rash changes\u2014What next?The young and fresh colored individuals of the jeunesse doree are said to desire to introduce a little color into the evening costume.But then it is asked by those who study the greatest happiness for the greatest number, what is to become of the pallid young men, and of the old ones,whose necks have become thick and rather of the claret than the roseate hue ?How would a small pink cravat suit these diverse but very ordinary styles of the partygoing throat ?Besides, it is said that this invasion of the constitution cannot go alone.With the white cravat must go the black coat\u2014that swallow-tail which has adorned so many masculine shoulders for the last quarter of a century I Blue coats and brass buttons have been suggested ; but blue is said to be frightfully difficnlt for anything but an Adonis.The crinoline question presents similar difficulties, only in a more intense shape, and so far as we can learn from the best authorities, the change which is to be made is to be proceeded with in a very conservative spirit, so that not more than a few feet of circumference will be reduced till the popular mind shall have become somewhat habituated to the alteration.Paris is said to be the chief seat of the white choker war, while London is reported to be most fiercely ini-, mical to the expanded petticoat.afforded by the State, and it is to these efforts I desired more particularly to refer when I sat down, to address you, Mr.Editor, on the present occasion.Every one conversant with the dovelopement of American population, knows how much is due to associated effort.What settled the Gennes-see country ?Association.What settled \u201cthe IV estern reserve\u201d of Ohio?-association.What settled Kentucky?Association.What mainly settled the active North-west, ending with Kansas ?Association.Societies and Corporate bodies\u2014societies of settlers and societies of speculators\u2014 railroad companies and mining companies.Associations in New York, in Virginia, in New England, in Old England, in Ger-maay,\u2014these Yvere the active and efficient instruments of the colonization of all the trans-Alleghanian States and territories of the Union, during the last seventy years.Here, then, is the Key of the lost art\u2014an art which Canada must acquire and practise, or stand still and be devoured.Here is a secret for our Societies of St.George, St.Andrew, St.Patrick, St.John Baptist, and St.Boniface (the Patron of Germany).Here is the means at our own hands by which to provide for the unprovided, to promote the wealth and strength of the Province, to give travel and traffic to its highways, freights to its fleets, and buyers to its markets Will our National Societies aid ir ibis good work ?Or, do they need any one to exhibit more fully how they can so aid ?Yours, Mr.Editor, Ac., &c., M.P.P.Montreal, April 14th, 1862.PILOTS\u2019 TARIFF BILL.To the Editor of the Montreal Herald.Sir,\u2014It seems to me surprising that any one should be found to advocate the principle that the Pilots should be paid, not according to the responsibility they undertake, but a uniform price for each vessel.I must believe that no one will be found to support the Tariff now in force ; a Tariff which gives one half of the Tariff created by an Act passed nearly sixty years ago, when vessels were of a small size and drawing but little water.I presume that no one is really frightened at the prospect of \u201c the trade\u201d being injured by the proposed Bill ; even if the rates are high this cannot affect the commerce of the country, although it would injuriously affect those of shipowners.It is only necessary to say that for towing down the very largest sailing vessel that ever came to the Port of Montreal, and drawing as much water as there was in the Lake, the Pilot got the sum of five pounds ! And when it is borne in mind that vessels hare been taken through drawing seven feet five inches more water than there was at the time on the flats of the Lake ; that the channel in various places between Montreal and Quebec (apart from the Lake) has been greatly deepened ; that in many places the increased depth of water requires good management on the part of the Pilots, I think it will be acknowledged that it is time to allow the Pilots a decent remuneration.I am aware that one gentleman has calculated the yearly gain of a Pilot at $880.I presume that if the estimate of the annual gains of the Forwarders and Ship-owners was based upon those of last year, it might appear exorbitant ; but in that case we would be told that, when trade was bad, gains were small.I doubt ff any Pilot will be found who will not agree to take much less than that sum annually, if guaranteed.Those who are practically acquainted with the navigation are amused at the idea of doing away with Pilots.If a steamer be obliged to cast off the vessel at the Richelieu or Cap a la Roche, where there is a strong current, what would become of the ship without a Pilot?Or if the steamer become disabled, or take fire, or if the weather be hazy, or dark, or if the steamer has more than one vessel in tow, Yvho is to manage the ship ?I could mention other cases to show the necessity of a Pilot ; but I am quite willing to leave the matter to men who really understand the subject.I have heard it said that a Pilot preferred taking a largo rather than a small vessel.I must confess I am at a perfect loss to understand that : it is stating that a man preferred taking a responsibility\u2014involving the loss of his commission and consequently of his livelihood\u2014when he could gain the same amount without it ; that a man preferred being a long time in gaining his wages than to obtain the same amount in a much shorter time.It is well known that heavily loaded vessels are now obliged to wait at Batis-can at certain times for the tide ; and that if the night is dark, the steamboat is and requires to be cautious when 'owing stich vessels.If it were once understood that the channel through Lake St, Peter is about the easiest part of the navigation, I believe we should hear nothing about the \u201cmismanagement of Pilots.\u201d There are people who have a good deal to say about the Pilots who oould not take a vessel from the foot of the current to Long Point Church.JUSTICE.Montreal, April 15.EXTRACTS FROM THB REPORT OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, ON COLONIAL MILITARY EXPENDITURE.EVIDENCE OF STATESMEN.T.Closing of Taverns.\u2014There is to be an appeal made to our citizens on this subject this evening, by Mr.Stocker, at Nordheimers\u2019 Hall.Mr, Stocker proposes to show the advantage to public morals which would accrue from closing a large number of our taverns.COLONIZATION \u201c ONE OF THE LOST ARTS\u201d ?To the Editor of the Montreal Herald.Sir,\u2014Mr.Disraeli is lately said to have observed in the Imperial Parliament, that \u201cthe art of colonization was lost\u201d by the English people ; Mr.Adderly, M, P., has written a pamphlet to prove what Mr.Disraeli asserted ; and Mr.Gold-win Smith has published several letters to demonstrate that it would have been far better for England if that \u201cart\u201d had been lost long ago, or, indeed, had never been discovered.In England this may be an interesting historical controversy ; but in Canada it is a pressing practical problem.Is there such an art, as colonizing an unsettled country ?Is it known to other countries, and unknown among us ?If so, what must we do to acquire knowledge so precious, in our circumstances\u2014as the knowledge which can make a small community great, and a desert wilderness a populous territory ?Without crossing the Atlantic, we need only, I think, look across our own border, and see what has been done among our American neighbours in this way, since thejr independence, to inspire us with a lively curiosity to know how it has been done.I will set down first, in the order of time, decade by decade, a tew of the' principal feats, in the way of colonization, performed by our neighbours since the Presidency of \"Washington :\u2014 1790 to 1800-Western New York, Vermont, Tennessee and Kentucky colonized.1800 to 1810\u2014Western Pennsylvania and Ohio colonized.1810 to 1820\u2014Maine, Illinois, Alabama, and \u201cLouisiana Purchase\u201d colonized.1820 to 1830\u2014Missouri^ Florida, and Michigan colonized.1830 to 1840\u2014Arkansas, Texas, and part of Iowa and Wisconsin colonized.1840 to 1850\u2014Wisconsin, Iowa, Oregon and California colonized.1850 to I860\u2014Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Washington, Arizona, Dacotab, and New Mexico colonized.Here, now, are some twenty or thirty great communities, created out of nothing or next to nothing, within the years allotted to one long-lived man.If we inquire closely into the ways and means by which these marvels have been wrought, we will find them in details very various, but in all their main features resolveable into these three\u2014viz : 1.\tFacilities afforded by the State.2.\tAssociated effort of individuals.3.\tPatient endurance and daring determination on the part of the pioneers.In one proportion or another, from the first to the latest, from the days when Lake Ontario was the farthest west for New York and New England, down to our own yesterdav, these are the three forces which united have worked wonders, and have proved that to the Anglo-Americans at least, colonization has not.yet become \u201cone of the lost arts.\u201d The part of the American State has generally been, 1st.To open up high roads, like those which in the early years of this century, threaded the western wilderness of New York, or crossed the Alleghanies for Chilicothe, or via Cumberland Gap to the banks of the Mississippi 2nd.To cheapen the price of wild lands to the actual settler, and to discourage his natural enemy, the land speculator.The associated efforts of individuals have, however, done far more to people the western wilderness than even the facilities F, Elliot, Esq., Assistant Under Secretary of State for the Colonies :\u2014 The total strength of the Imperial troops in British North America, in each colony, stands as follows .'-Canada, 3,118 ; Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, 2,196 ; Newfoundland, 209.Total, 5,523.Lord Grey informed the GoY'ernment of Canada in 1851, that the time was come when they must expect a less amount of exertion on the part of this country to constitute towards her military defences.He said that the troops would be reduced, and, perhaps, ultimately oonsisi of little more than garrisons for the principal forts in Canada ; and that if they wanted any further force, they must provide it from their own population and resources.There were subsequent despatches on the same subject from the Duke of Newcastle, Sir George Grey, and Mr.Labuuchere, written in 1854, at the time of the Crimean war.There were answers to these despatches.The Colonists, to the best of my recollection, cheerfully acquiesced in the country\u2019s withdrawing those troops, as their services were wanted elsewhere ; they showed their desire to assist this country, and co-operate with her.Are yon aware that a proposal was lately made to 'he colony of Queensland, giving them their choice whether they would' have a very small body of Queen\u2019-s troops detached from Sydney; or whether they would prefer that .a laçai corps shonld be raised for Queensland purposes?I am aware that the choice was offered.They strongly deprecated the formation of a local force ; tüey said that in their opinion great advantages accrued from the presence of Imperial troops ; soldiers who shared all the adventures and vicissitudes of the British army, and tvho were ready to meet the Queen\u2019s enemies wherever they might appear.They thought that, independently of the military advantages, there were many political benefits 10 be .derived from the sort of communication which the visit of troops of this kind keeps up with, ihe mother ponntry think that tile pre\u2019sônçe of à small body of I British troops, as the seat of Government is viewed as-an emblem of the connection with the Northern country.John Robïrt God'ley, Esq., Assistant Under Secretary of State for War.Do you.think that the inhabitants of Canada, if the garrisons were withdrawn, would under take the defence of the large forts now in Canada ?I do not know.I think they would take steps for effectually defending the Province against foreign aggression.But if they did not undertake the defence of those forts, is it your opinion that they should be abandoned by this country ?\u2014Yes.Do you think if negotiations were opened with the different colonies to obtain their consent, the result would be likely to be satisfactory ?\u2014No j quite the contrary.Will they not strongly protest against the change ?\u2014Most colonies undoubtedly would, and probably refuse to negotiate on the subject.You have stated that Canada is more exposed to danger than Australia.Do you think that that fact gives Canada a larger claim to the protection of the mother country than Australia?\u2014 No.You do not think that the greater exposure to danger is a ground upon which the claim might be calculated ?\u2014No ; I think it is one of the necessary incidents to every community of its geographical position, and an evil that it must bear with, and cannot expect some one else to bear.Can you state when English troops were first sent to the assistance of Colonial forces in America?\u2014The first time I recollect was in the expedition that took New York in 1654.When did it become the habit of England to send troops there ?\u2014When Braddock went to America in 1757; and, just at that time, the provisions of the Mutiny Act were extended to America.I do not think that the English Government would ever have attempted to infringe upon the right of the Colonies to tax them without their consent, unless they had had a standing army in the Colony; and, therefore, indirectly, the presence of a standing army there was the cause ef tbs American war ; besides which,- the necessity of billeting and providing transport for the troops was felt as a grievance.What was the feeling of the Colonists toward England, when the war first broke out ?\u2014That of enthusiastic loyalty.In fact nothing would satisfy your view of Colonial policy, short of the Colonies themselves undertaking the first responsibility of their own defence, and we contributing such a quota towards their external defence as may be reasonable on the ground that they are involved in England\u2019s foreign policy?\u2014That is what I propose.Should you not say that, in the long run, England incurs as many liabilities by her Colonial relations as the Colonies do by their implication in English foreign policy?\u2014No, I should think not.You think that the existence upon the frontier of Canada of a first-class foreign power, with which Canada is liable to be involved in war, not by her own act, but by the policy of the Home Government, should be no element in calculating the amount of assistance to be afforded to Canada ?\u2014My opinion is that it should not.Do you mean that the Imperial Government is to make up its mind as to the amount of assistance which it will afford to the several Colonies, to say to each of these Colonies that that is the determination, and to abide by that determination irrespective of the effect that may be thereby produced upon the feelings of attachment of the Colonists ?\u2014Yes, as Lord Grey did with the Australian Colonies, and with the most complete success.Whatever the consequences may be with respect to the feelings, or the allegiance of the Colonies, that is the course which you think the Imperial Government ought to take?\u2014Yes, as the only practical course.Herman Meriuale.Esq.\u2014Under Secretary of State for India.It is in evidence, that in the North American Colonies altogether we have something over 5500 troops ; what should you say is the object of keeping troops there?I have always considered, but that is a question much more for a politician than for an official person, that the object was for fear of the United States, and for no other reason.Do you think that there are any special reasons in the case of the North American Colonies which would lead them to resent such a proposal as that made to the Australian Colonies ?I think that there are reasons which, in their opinion, would render it a far less fit arrangement to apply to them.The Australian Colonies have no permanent apprehension of a foreign power.In the political horizon of Canada, however, it is always present.They consider that the business of this country is to take care of them in the event of political complications of which they are not in any way the cause, and of which they expect they will be the victims.You mean, in the event of a difference between Canada and the United States, the Canadians would feel that that was not a quarrel in which they were the principals, but that they were drawn into it in consequence of their connection with the Mother Country ?Yes, and I may illustrate what I believe their feeling to be by this \u2014that two years ago, when it became a question whether we should not be involved in difficulties with America, in consequence of the boundaries in Vancouver\u2019s Island, many Canadians said, \u201c I his is no concern of ours at all.\u201d At the same time, Canada would be the first battle field, in their opinion.You say that it would not be reasonable to consider the people of Nora Scotia responsible for the maintenance of an Imperial garrison like that of Halifax ?I think not.You do not consider that help would be sufficiently offered, if it were given when the time of its being required came ?That is a military question ; but I think the sentiment respecting such help would be quite different.I think that the feeling that there is a force present is an encouragement, as far as it goes, to that portion of the population which prefers union with England to any other connexion.If the force were absent, probably that opinion would be to some extent shaken.If the entire Imperial force were withdrawn you conceive the Colony would say, \u201c If we are left \u201c to protect ourselves, we claim to be the regu-\u201c lators of our own foreign policy ?\u201d No doubt they might.You alluded to the fear of a rupture with America, in connection with the Vancouver boundary, as an instance of English foreign policy involving a Colony in war; was it not much more a Canadian than an Imperial object which led England to occupy Vancouver\u2019s Island ?I cannot see the slightest interest that Canada had in the question.You see some danger in the general proposition of one country making wars, and another country paying for them?I feel it is a choice of evils.You do not see your way to laying down any uniform system as a guide for the Imperial Government ?I do not.Do yon think that the want of such an uniform system has been felt as a serious evil ?j No.You consider that it is an evil the amount of which has been considerably exaggerated ?Yes.The Right Hon.Earl Grky.\u2014 Would it be a correct .inference to draw from the passages 1 have quoted (from your work on the Colonies) and from the general tenor of your expressed opinion on the subject, that the main ground upon which, in your opinion, the claim of those Colonies, not classed as military stations, to Imperial aid in their defence, is in the risk they run in being involved in wars of England witn other powers?\u2014I should hardly say that ; I think that the very notion of a Colonial relation between this country and our possessions implies protection on the one side and obedienoe on the other, within certain limits.I cannot conceive how you can hold Colonies without acknowledging the obligation within certain limits to protect them.Have the arrangements originated by you, in reference to the defence of the Australian Colonies, led to any dissatisfaction ?\u2014Not that I am aware of ; but the Australian Colonies are infinitely less exposed to the attacks of a foreign enemy than any other portion of the British dominions, and there are no native trib sfrom whom danger can be apprehended.Sir John Burgoyne has given evidence that the very large expenditure for the fortification of the Mauritius ought to be largely increased.Will you favor the Committee with your opinion on the subject ?\u2014I totally disapprove of the whole policy of large expenditure upon fortifications in the Colonies.With respect to some erected at great expense, the wisest thing we could now do would be to blow them up again.I think Quebec is a useful fortress, and also Halifax; but that multiplying fortifications which, if suffioieat-ly garrisoned, shut up men who are far more wanted elsewhere, and which, if not properly manned, may he taken and held against ourselves, is the most impolitiemeasure we can have recourse to.If you have fortifications at Kingston, Quebec, and Halifax, there must bo garrisons there to take care of them, and the troops cost very little more than they would at home.Do you think that the Colonists could not find a sufficient number of men to do the garrison duty of Quebec and Kingston ?\u2014The Imperial Government must, I conceive, keep up a certain amount of regular army, and I think that a portion of that army is better quartere4 in these fortifioations than at horns- Does your lordship see any reason why, during the Seven Years\u2019 War, Massachusetts raised 25,000 men, and paid them, and that, in 1812, Canada should allow us to raise and pay every soldier engaged in the war ?\u2014In the one ease Massachusetts felt that the quarrel was a great deal her own, and in 1812, Canada justly felt that that was a quarrel wantonly provoked by this country, and that Canada wag only suffering from her connection with us.Your lordship thinks, that where the war is created by our Colonial relations, the Colony ought to bear the expense?-! would rather not lay down any abstract rules beforehand ; when the ease arises, we must act according to circumstances ?(To be CQntinued.)i duced merely by the

belonging to the shop how to get in, they had not much difficulty in effecting an entrance.Judge, Conway and himself were inside.They tried to force the inside door with the axe, but could not.Judge then broke the panel of the door, and witness put his hand through and pulled the bolt.They knew there was a bolt by shaking the door.About §8 was taken.They also took three lamps, went back to the Club-room and divided the money.The lamps they put in a loft above the Club-room, and they were frequently afterwards brought down and used iu the room.For the defence, witnesses were called to prove the prisoner\u2019s good character.A certificate was produced from the Rev.xMr.Dowd.Mr.Garth had the prisoner in his employ f )r three years and a half and gave him an excellent character for honesty.He lef- Mr.G\u2019s employ about throe weeks before his arrest.Another witness stated he had known the prisoner since his infancy, and testified to his good character.Ha had also known Mrs.Conway for 20 years as & highly respectable, industrious woman.The Jury found a verdict of Not Guilty.Conway was then tried/>ro/br//ta on a number of other indictments, in which verdicts of acquittal were registered, and he was then discharged.Marsh was also tried on several indictmenta and acquitted in the same way.The Judge then admonished the prisoners to the same effect as Smiley on the previous day, and ordered them to be discharged.BUftQLARY AND ROBBERY.Patrick Tobin was placed at the bar for trial on the charge of having, on the 19th April, 1861 broken into the shop] of Louis Cnezime Fran-chere, and stolen a number of articles therefrom.Mr.Johnson stated that this was the only indictment against the prisoner.L.O.Franchere, tailor, stated that his store iu Notre Dame Street was robbed in the middle of April last year.Several pieces of stuff, two pairs of pantaloons, vest, &c., were stolen.He had never seen them since.Albert Moore said\u2014He remembered the robbery at Francnere\u2019s.He went there with the prisoner Tobin, Judge and Smiley, about H o\u2019clock at night.Judge and himself went in.The prisoner remained outside with Smiley They remained in about three quarters of an hour.When they came out, the prisoner Tobin was gone.Judge left witness in the cellar and went away with several remnants of cloth.They met first that night at the theatre.Judge said to the prisoner there to come and get some clothing.Witness only knew of some cloth and two caps being taken.One piece of the cloth was given to Tobin.The remainder was hid in a shed in Fortification Lane Cross-examined\u2014Witness did not know whether he would get any advantage from telling all this, but \u201c thought he ought.\u201d He was born in the State of New York.Judge was of 11 Irish descent.\u201d Detective O\u2019Leary stated that after be arrested the prisoner he told him what he was charged with, whereupon the prisoner said he never went with the rest but once, and that was to Franchere s.He did not go in, but waited outside.They gave him some cloth, which he afterwards throw away in Fortification Lane, being afraid to take it to his fathers house.He added that he had been about to come and tell the police about the robbery several times, but was afraid that he would be arrested.This being the case for the Grown, Mr.Devlin submitted that the case had entirely failed.His Honour coincided with this view, and directed the Jury to find a verdict of Not Guilty.His Honour then admonished the prisoner, and ordered him to be discharged.This closed the whole of the burglary cases.It became evident at the trial that the so-called gang of burglars really consisted of but half a dozen bad characters, who induced other youths of their acquaintance to join them on various occasions, and thus betrayed them into offences within the legal definition of burglary or receiving stolen goods.The good character and youth of these prisoners have told in their favour, and allowed the Jury to give them the benefit of the slight doubt which generally existed as to the extent of their complicity.The business before the Court will probably be finished to-day, an! sentences passed on Saturday next.TRADE AND COMMERCE.~ STOCgANP SHAHBJWST.____.Dividend \tAin\u2019t of\tPaid BANKS.\tShares.\tup.Bank of Montreal.\t$ 201)\twhole Bank .13.N.America\t£50 atg\tdo Commercial

1862.H.OOTTE, Cashier.85 Portland, April 15.The Norwegian, from Liverpool on the 3rd, arrived last night.She brings 28 cabin aud 237 steerage passengers, and full freights.The brigs Adelaide and Mary Wright both arrived at Liverpool on the 2d, having successfully ran the blockade at Charleston, which port they left on the 3rd March.They had between them about 1400 hales cotton, 20 boxes tobacco, and a considerable quantity of rosin.They left Charleston in company with the barque Edwin and four schooners, all laden with cotton and rosin.They report the sunken stone fleet fast breaking up, Charleston harbour being full of floating timber.They also represented Charleston and Savannah as well fortified, and in command of General Lee.Proceedings in Parliament on the 2d unimportant.The question of iron batteries continues to attract great attention.Mr.Berwick had given notice in the House of Commons that he would move an amendment to Mr.Osborne\u2019s resolution declaring it inexpedient to proceed with the fortifications, and that the Government be empowered to apply the money voted for fortifications to the construction of iron vessels.There is a doubtful report that a steamer built at Liverpool, with armed 20 100-pounders, had gone to Gibraltar to encounter the Tuscarora.In the Commons, Sir F.Smith called attention to the engagement between the Monitor and Mer-rimac, and urged the consideration of the future prospects of defensive warfare.He argued in favor of small vessels like the Monitor in preference to stationary forts, and advocated cessation work in the fortification and construction of iron gunboats or batteries instead.A general debate ensued, most of the speakers opposing an outlay on fortifications.Sir J.C.Lewis and Lord C.Paget, on behalf of the Government, warned the House against hasty action, and the enormous expense this resolution in naval warfare would entail.They questioned whether the Merrimac and Monitor had thrown any new light on the subject, and thought forts could be made to maintain their superiority.They believed artillery could be made to crush these iron vessels.It would not do to proceed hastily without further experience, but Government would watch the questiou most carefully.The motion was dropped without action, but Mr.Osborne gave formal notice of a motion, that it is expedient to suspend the construction of forts at Spithead until the value of iron roofed gunboats for the defence of ports be fully considered.The newspapers freely discuss the subject.The Times exhibits somewhat of a panic on it, urging that not a day should be lost, as wooden ships are clearly demonstrated to be wholly useless against iron plated rams.It is denied that Gen.Donay, with his reinforcements for Mexico, had been ordered to return.Tlie Printers\u2019 of Paris were on a strike, owing to the introduction of female labor.The Times says it is understood that orders are in course of transmission to all Dock-yards to suspend any further preparations on wooden ships.The leading journals continue to urge editorially the necessity for iron fleets.The Post calls attention to the improvements America is making in ordnance, the weight of the shot thrown by the Monitor being nearly double that used on board any British ships.FRANCE.The Patrie believes that the French and Spanish Governpspnta intend signing a new treaty re gulating a joint action in Mexico.ITALY.The Turin correspondent of tfie London Times has good reason to predict important events in Italy.Garibaldi appears to have scared Napoleon out of his deeply laid scheme, and it would not be surprising if those who summoned the modern Cincinnatus from his farm have made rather a lucky hit and may eventually applaud themselves for the results of what seemed at firât a very rash and dangerous measure, ffiie 5'imcs editorially adds that it would he â strange fatality if a demonstration against the Austrian occupation of Yenetia should have the indirect effect of terminating the French occupation of Rome.GREECE, The news of the surrender of Nauplia is unfounded.Ipe citadel will be able to hold out four months longer.The 150 men in it would treat only with the King.London, April 4 It is supposed that England wiil withdraw from the expedition against Mexico, but there is no rupture between the Allies.Napoleon has written
