and in this respect we must confess the balance is likelv to be against ourselves.good Postmaster General, b»t he is unquestionably not so strong a man in the House as the representative for Waterloo ; and, judging trom what experience has proved, Mr.Foley is incomparably the better Parliamentarian.It is probable, however, that we are seeking the solution of the enigma in a wrong direction.Mr.Foley, it will be remembered, showed during a tormer Parliament a considerable independence of the dictation of Mr.Brown, aud this geutle-i man's ascendancy once secured iu the cabinet I Mr.Foley was not likely to go scatheless, nor the more subservient follower unrewarded.Mr.Brown\u2019s nmniaee, and minister in posse, was preferred to the Postmaster General in esse, and the housting of the victim was accomplished under conditions and in a manner the most degrading and undignified, as regarding the Ministry, and positively tbs most insulting and i unjust to Mr.Foley.There was, moreover, something approaching to ingratitude upon the part of the Premier in this treatment of his Postmaster, inasmuch as he gave countenance, if not support to Mr.Sandfield Macdonald when that gentleman stood aloof from Mr.Brown s leadership, and was an isolated unit, without friends or followers.Mr.Macdonald\u2019s posi tion as Premier is different, no doubt, from what it was at the time of which we speak ; but as a private member of tbs House it is not one whit changed.If he were to quit office Vo-morrow there would not be found a solitary individual who would partake of his altered fortune, and follow him as an acknowledged aud fallen chief.They would desert him to a man.When, moreover, h was known that the Gov ernor General had sent for Mr.Sandfield Macdonald, it was much questioned who would form tho cabinet under his leadership ; and M Foley was one spoken of as having the very strongest claims to be included iu the Miais'.ry, but whose position and relation to the party with which he acted gave him rather a right to lead than follow.These were consideration» which, being added to the fact of a dieoigani /.ation of the Clear-Grit party in the Hous*, occasioned by a struggle for the leadership\u2014 to which Mr.Foley was considered by many of the party to be the legitimate aspirant\u2014caused outsiders to deem his acceptance of office under the Premiership of Mr.Macdonald a sacrifice made to his p*r*y- fiine cannot alter the conditions of the past ; and such were those when Mr.Foley went to the rescue of the yet unfledged cabinet.He was in fact the only representative man of the new Ministry; and carried into it what little ot definite character it ever possessed.He had fallen, however, amongst thieves, who robbed him of that little, filched from him his good name, and thrust him forth with the basest ingratitude.Still the ex-Postmaster General lingered over the min of his parly\u2014a party whose prominent men had abandoned principle and repudiated all their antecedents; and, ss Mr.Foley has experienced, whoso grateful remembrances no personal sacrifice » able to command.He was si ill willing to givs the ii:rn a sup-his bands ; MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL, LAST NIGHT.The quarterly meeting of the City Council took place last night.Present:\u2014His Worship the Mayor tin the chair), and Councillors Dinning, Giblin, Bolduc, Renaud, Alain, Hearn, Alleyn, Coté, Laird, Lemesurier, Bowles, Pruneau and Hamel.LSTTBSS, Ac.The Mayor laid the following letters, communications, Ac., before the Council From Mr.B.S.Prior,, stating that be is ready to accept the office of Councillor to which be bas been elected.Similar letters were read from Messrs.John Lemesurie^ John Hearn, and J.E.Bolduc.THB i\u2019ALACS STRBBT CARTSIIS\u2019 STAXD.From Mr.G.Futvoye.stating that he will take legal proceed iugs against the City Purveyor in order to abate the nuisance caused by the carters\u2019stand, in Palace street, in the name and on behalf of certain residents of said street, unless said nuisance anff obstruction is removed.The Mayor said we had the opinion of our own legal adviser on the subject: and, it lie recollected rightly, it wps the intention of the Council to act in accordance with that opinion.This letter might therefore be referred to the By-Law Committee.The let'.er was referred accordingly.CHIUSIKS IS CHAMPLAIN MARKST HALL.Councillor Bowles reported from the Finance Committee\u2014on the recommendation ot tho Varket Committee that four chimney flues be opened iu the Champlain Market Hail,\u2014atatiog that they regret they cannot authorize the expenditure demanded for said chimnies.There were no other Reports, neither were there any Orders of the Day to be considered.THS FtRHV COMMITTBB.Councillor HsARN\u2014Msy 1 ask, Mr.Mayor, whether any mee has taken place The Mayor\u2014.-, notice to the eflect that a meeting is to take NEWLY ELECTED COUNCILLORS.Several of the newly elected City Councillor8 were sworn in, last night, at the City Hall.THE COURTS.There was no business of uuy importance either before the Police Court or the Recorder's Court, yesterday.the CAMPAIGN OF 1863.\u2014A FEDERAL REVIEW.(From tbs Chicago Tiin«-s.)

It is no cause for surprise that a gang oj Rebel pirates has seized a steamer which recently left this harbor for Portland.It is only remarkable that the enterprise was not long since undertaken.What was to prevent?Steamers daily leave this port without inspec-tiou of any kind.There is no passport system, no detective system, no more supervision or watchfulness than if the country was buried in profoundest peace.New York is openly tfie depot and rendez-vous of Rebel emissaries and spies of every description.They carry on tbe businoss of Rebellion with no hindrance from anybody.A great hotel on Broadway is their headquarters ; its proprietor and niuc-Usntbs of its guests perfectly well known to be Rebels.Tbo city ostentatiously offers all facilities to Rebel agents.All markets are accessible to them.They have powerful friends.They seem to have no enemies or opponents.The\u201dCustom-House opens its portals to their commerce.The great lines of steamers which ply from New York are subsidized by them, and arc the regular carriers of their mails, tbeir agents, their cargoes.Take one instance out of many.The Gunard steamer Corsica left this port on Monday tor Nassau\u2014that British den ot Rebel and Anglo-Rebel pirates.We are assured that on this steamer went twenty or thirty men who were notoriously Rebel agents and officers ; necessarily known to be such by the officers ol the steamer, who themselves are Rebel sympathizers.Among them was one Commack for the last two years the general Rebel agent at Ilavanna, who has done not less for the Rebel cause than Lee or Davis ; for he bas been the soul of all schemes for supplying the Confederacy by breach of the blockade.This man was pointed out on board tbe vessel to a U uited Slates Revenue Officer, but the officer replied it Was not bis business to make arrests, and would take no step to stop him\u2014so he went unmolested ; he and his comrades.While such things are possible, why should not piracy flourish ?Does any man doubt that the plot to seise the Chesapeake was well known in this city, and that her capture was chuckled over in tbe New York Hotel last night?And yet need such things be possible?The remedy the hands of the Government if they choose to apply it.But as matters stand today, any number of rebels may embark on any steamer that leaves this port, and take possession of her if they choose before she is past Sandy Hook.Tbe Chesapeake may have a TEA IN INDIA.Good tidings from India are no longer so rare as they once were, but it is seldom that we can report so decided a step towards prosperity as that described in our last letter trom Calcutta.The cultivation of tea has at last got beyond the experimental stage, and is rapidly becoming the foundation of a vast and lucrative trade.The capabilities of India for tbe growth of tea have long been recognised.It has been known for tho last 40 years that the plant was indigenous in Assam, aud so long ago as 1834 Lord W.Benlinck appointed a Committee to inquire into the best means of propagating it over India.It was admitted that the same conditions of soil and climate were to be found in many other districts along the Himalayan range ; but then it was equally notorious that cotton was a natural product of India, and might be raised in sufficient quantity and of sufficient quality to compete with that of America iu the English market.In neither case did this knowledge, which in Europe would have borne immediate fruit in stimulating enterprise, lead to much practical result.Neither tbe cultivation of tea nor that of cotton was among tbe traditions of Leadenhall-street.So long us the East India Company held the monopoly of China as well as of India, they had little interest iu patronizing tea gardens iu the Himalayas, since they could get as much COMMERCIAL.daily share list.One P.M., 14th Dec., 1668.BASKS.| Buy Ts!

We are further assured that the Committee have gone energetically to work, in order to make complete arrangements fo^out uf Charleston, and a foot-bold at the mouth ofth Rio Grande In Texas.We practically command tbe State of Arkansas; but ita ^P^J® to us is as barren as was its possession to tbe rebels; therefore, in summing up, w-e do not regard its subjugation as a material benclit the national government.Tbe loss of territovy to the rebels, then> '' \u201c been most insignificant\u2014one u8e1®88 (Arkansas), half of another, and small portions of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi.In conso qmmee, if we estimate the net profit to the Federal cause by tbeamountorierritory tb.it we have conquered during the past year, it will bo found to be contemptibly small\u2014almost an unappreciable qusotiiy ;

at all events in not coaled nor provisioned for a cruise, and cannot venture far.If the Navy Department wil act promptly [and a dispatch received as we write gives hope that it is doing so]\u2014send all available vessels in pursuit\u2014they will catch her.And if Government will give the right orders for this case, it will do much to prevent others.Tbe captors of the Chesapeake arc simply pirates and murderers\u2014by all laws human and divine\u2014and should be dealt with accordingly.It will be time enough to listen to rebel threats after they are banged.A new daily newspaper and Sunday lite rarv journal has been started in Ha' ana called IÏI \" Tit mpo\u2014 A n g 1 i ce, The Tines.Wants a Wife.\u2014The following appears in a St.Louis paper\tWanted.\u2014 I have lived soli- tary long enough.I want some one to talk at, quarrel with\u2014then kus and make np again Therefore, I am ready to receive ccmmuntca-lions from j ou n g ladies and blooming widows of more than average respectabilily, tolerable tame in disposition, and hair of any color.As nearly as l can judge of myself, I am not over eighty nor under twenty-five years of age.I am eiiher five feet eight or eight feet five, I for-, get which.Weigh 135, 315 or 531 pounds, one of the three, recollect each figure perfectly wc-Il, but as to their true arrangement I am somewhat puzzled.Have a whole suit of.hair, dyed by nature and free ¦from daudriff.Eyes buttermilk brindte, tinged with pen green.Nose blunt, according to Ionic order of architecture, with a touch of the composite, and a mouth between a codfish's and alligator\u2019s\u2014made especially lor oratory and the reception of large oysters.Ears pnlinulcd, long and elegantly shaped.My whiskers are a combination of dog\u2019s hair, moss and hriarbush\u2014well behaved, fearfully luxuriant.I am sound in limb and on tbe negro question.Wear boots No.9 when corns are troublesome, and can write poetry by the mile, with double rhyme on both edges\u2014to read backwards, forward;crosswise or diagonally Can play the jew\u2019» harp aud basu-drura, and whistle Yankee Doodle in Spanish.Am veVy correct in my morals, and first rate at ten pius, have a great regard for the Sabbats, and never drink only when invited.Am a domesticani-m-l, and perfectly docile when towels arc clean, aud shirt buttons all right.Ifl possess a predominating virtue it is that ot forgiving every enemy whom I deem it hazardous to handle.I say my prayers every night, musquetoes permitting ;

bot all such operations are irregular and valueless beyond the temporary annoyance they may cause an advancing enemy, as they do not at all affect the vital issues which must be met amt settled at Mobile, Atlanta and Richmond.This new line, upon which the rebel armies are thus forced is their last, and, by far, the most indefensible one which they have at any time occupied.Its air line length is much shorter than any of the others, but its actual length owing to the tortuosity of the railroads which connect it, is much greater.The cond'l.'\u201c\" of preserving their communication from to wing will be greatly enhanced in dit-ficulty, from tbe fact that the Confederacy lacka for rolling atocks aud means of repairing its railroads.The result will be that communication at first will be exceedingly slow and difficult, and, in a little while, from the complete wearing .out of cars and trucks, impossible.But while the rebels will lose many conditions of great value, in being fojeed upon their sole remaining line of defence, they will gain one immense advantage.Every foot that they yield enable* them to concentrate upon tbe shorter inner line of defence, while it correspondingly weakens us by lengthening our communication as wc advance.Our armies are now so far from tbeir basis of supply that a very slight interruption would be fatal ; hence It «s necessary to guard absolutely against any such eontingency by leaving a small army at every point as we leave it.This weakens enormously our capacities for offence*\t!® one of Ibe main reasons why the North is obliged to call men incessantly, m order to preserve its advances, and at the same time render its movements effective.The battles of tbe present war have, in magnitude, exceeded those of any previous campaign.Among those which stand out in bold relief as first-class contostï, are : Fredericksburg, Chaucellorville, Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Cbickamauga, and Chattanooga.In additiou to these, we have bad a m)rtad of smaller affairs, whose title is legion, and whose name can scarcely be remembered g»TO by one with an encyclopedian memory.Among them many be mentioned: Arkansas Posi, Prairie Grove, Jackson, Thomsons Hills, Port Hudsou, Sabine Pass, Morns Island, Milliken\u2019s Beud, Little Rock, Helena, Knoxville, and the thousand skirmishes and contests that bare occured between Washington and Ricbmtnd.\t, Of all these battles, and lesser aOsirs that have occurred, we cao regard but three as decisive ;

Curiosity Hu.ntbb.\u2014Much as has been written and spoken in favor of tho magnificent women of America, it is useless to conceal the fact that the portion of sight-seeing, and the patroniza-lion of distinguished foreigners, are, in numerous cases, retiectors of a very poor quality of credit upon their sex, or the city which they infest.During the visit of the Prince of Wales, they pursued him with au inflexible purpose which was not to be overcome; ralljinff wherever the shocking bad bats of himself and suite were visible ; pinuing him at tbe Prince\u2019s Ball, and storming his private apartments, until poor Wales was pretty thoroughly used up and discomfited.Iu one instance they scaled a partition balcony at his ho.el, in a manner which the peculiar quantities of crinoline could not, with delicacy, allow ; and the police were at length forced to interfere on behalf of tbe crowds iu the street below.These ladies are neither sewing girls or domestics, but representatives of wealth and blood ; aud when tbe miserable Lessofl'sky came w ith bis officers to thaw out iu our harbor, these delicious creatures descended upon him like a Lost of the 'demdest little fascinators in all tbe world,\u2019 and devoured their substance, rootand branch.It must bo understood that thu gentlemen have in uo case complained of this peculiar treatmout, but have merely given way to their astonishment at the number of well-drossed female beg-crtiis who have swarmed their decks, and with all tbo vulgarity of \u2018 I am blind,' aud more thau tbeir audacity, bogged everything which might serve as souvenirs from tbeir gallant hosts.Snuffboxes, cigar cases, charms and baubles\u2014 some of them of great value, and the gifts of friends or relatives at home\u2014were asked form a manner that would admit of no refusal whatever.Many articles purchased by tho officers during their trip to Niagara were thus confiscated by tbo wholesale, and in ouo inslanco one ship of tbe squadron was stripped of every good.He agreed to accompany the officer to tbe hiding-place of his stolen treasure, and Mr.Hays soon returned with tbe money ; that portion which had been expended having been refunded by the clerk's bondsmen.There is a vacancy in that bank, and the fast clerk goes forth into the world with a ruined reputation, tbe consequence of the fast rate at which be lived.This may serve as a warning to gentlemen connected with monetary iosiitu lions who are living fast upon the proceeds of their speculations.\u2014IV.F.Com.Aiv.Mosby's Guxrillas.\u2014 a correspondent of the New York Herald, Mr.G.M.Hart, writes a letter from his \u2018 head-quarters in the saddle, en route to Richmond, under Mosby's escort,White Plains, Va., Nov.1.\u2019 Mr.Hart and another correspondent of the Herald were captured at the village of Auburn by Mosby\u2019s famous band, and curried off prisoners.The writer says :\u2014 ' Wo rode along leisurely, Major Mosby opening a conversation which soon became interesting.We soon discovered that tbe Major was a very different personage from what he is described.In his address and demeanor be is a perfect gentleman, and in bis relations with ourselves was highly courteous.He is about twenty-eight years of age, of prepossessing appearance, and certainly tbe reverse of the picture drawn of him in newspapers generally He wears the uniform of a major in the regular rebel service.By profession he is a lawyer and with a considerable share of native shrewdness combines the acquired tact of the professional attorney.In his movements be displays great energy, and, as an evidence of bis powers of endurance, .accompanies bis men on all their expeditions.On this occasion the ob- siened \u201cP.C.,\u201d in which Napoleon is likened to a pike, Earl Russell to a trout \u201caccustomed to write,\" the Poles to daces, who had been pushed out of the region assigned to them by three stronger fishes, chief cf whom was the perch.Thereupon the pike, who has not al ways lived in tbe lake, but has been schooled in adversity, starved upon frogs in a brook and experienced the taste of a hook, incites all the fishes to assemble at his hole and discuss his idees of fish, and reconstruct the chart of the lake.But the fishes cannot believe that a pike\u2019s invitation can be only to talk about dace.So they follow the example of the carp, who tells them that when : A pike to his hole asks a congress of fishes They are gudgeons indeed if they go.THE CITY GATES.( To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle.) Sib,\u2014 As the alteration of St.John Gate is necessarily postponed till spring, would it not be very desirable that a vigorous and united effort should be made to relieve tbe city of the almost intolerable nuisance under which it baa so long suffered, *.c., the Gates.Let a public meeting be called by the Mayor, pains being taken to make it an effective one ; let an humble address to the Queen be adopted, set ting forth the great injury which Quebec lias so long suffered from tbe gates ; that they and the old city walls are universally allowed to be worthless for defence, and praying that the walls from the military prison at Lews Gate down to the Artillery Barracks, may be removed at the expense ot the city, and the ground levelled, forming a park between the city and suburbs, and that Palace, Hope, and Prescott Gates may be removed.Let this address be presented to the Governor-General by an mtln-ential deputation, praying him to recommend the measure to tbe Imperial Government, and there is every chance of success.If it could be carried out, Queoec would make a new start in the race of improvement, and the approaching loss of the seat of Government would be more tbau counterbalanced.Improvbmkkt, imports PER GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY.Dc0.14.\u2014i box and l brl to W Scully.3 bnxM fish to O Brouard.1 do to M Hogan.2 do to P Plamondon.2 boxes and 1 brl do to J Plamon-don.1 box and 1 brl do to B McQmlUn.1 box and 1 brl do to J Ryan.2 boxes do to L Fosk.1 brl do to 1» Plante.1 brl do to A Foster.1 box do to P Gtiilfoy.1 box and 1 brl do to E Hewitt.machine and 12 bris to P Dngal.50 bales oakum to Ross & Co.3 case* to H S Scott A Co.- bxs fish to II Montreuil.2 do to A Labarre.4 do and brl to O Brouard.1 do to M Hogan.1 do to W Scully.2 do to L Fnsk.1 do to D Shoeban.do and 2 brls to A Foster.29 bales hemp to J Brown A Co.50 bale* oakum to Ross A Co.Ex S S Hibernian, at Portland\u2014100 ship\u2019s kneea to Jeffery, Noad A Co.1 ease to Hamel A Frcrea.3\tbales to Tctu A Garncnu.2 cases to W Laird *¦ Co.1 cask to Officers' Moss.1 cask to P O NerL 2 do to Cbinic A MothoL 2 eases to Rev A J Woolrycbe.1 do to II Harting.3 do to McCall, Sbebyn A Co.1 prel samples to M G Mountain.12 co'ils wire rope to Lemesurier A Co.50 blr-chest?tea to E Popton & Co.ry.Price 80 cents aed $15 the large bottles much tbe cheapest Be careful to get the genuine, which is prepared only t>y RBRD, 0U1LERA CO., Wholesale Drogjflsfr, Boston.Fold in Quebec by Jibs Mcsios.Dec 9 U'S._________________ ^___ From a DMUcgalfched mivtleter.RBV.B.P.tsTONB, D.D., Concord, N.H , triie*:\u2014\u201c H&vbg made an expetlmact of Mrs.S.A.Allen\u2019s World's Hair Restorer and Zylobalstmnn, I can truly say It is successful.My hair, which was quite gray, ù now restored to ils original color.I recommend ijium to the public as the best as tides yet discorded for the hair.\t.Sold by Druggist* everywhere.Depot, 198 Greenwich .t., New York.Doe.12.1863.\t1* Hair Dye!
