Militia Returns, which they transmit to headquarters through the Colonels of their Regimental Divisions.At this point the duties of the Officers of the Sedentary Militia end and those of the Commander-io-Chief, acting through the Adjutant General\u2019s Department, commence.In view of the proba At street corner*, in the lobbies of the Parliament building, and wherever politicians, either small or large, most do congregate nothing has been heard daring the last three or four days but enquiries, conjectures and assor anees a* to the purpose and intention of the Opposition to move a vote of ^non-confidence not a direct vote, perhaps, bnt an amendment that should be equivalent to a condemnation of the Government.The time fixed by tbe quid nuncs for this infliction upon the time and interests of the country was Inst night, when the supplies were again moved.As the hoars wore on yesterday morning, rumors arose that the intention was abandoned, and we ourselves were assured by a prominent Gear-Grit that the supplies would be poshed throngh without obstruction.We cannot, in truth, say we were surprised to find that obstruction was offered\u2014 for, as Mr.McGee well put it, oar experiences of the party have long since relieved os of astonishment nt anything that is done by them in the way of antrnthfolaess and faction.Bnt we were certainly not prepared to expect that Idud of opposition with which the Government business was delayed.Upon the order of the day for \u201cthe farther consideration of Report of Committee Supply\" being taken up, Mr Dorion moved in amendment a resolution tantamount, in certain sense, to a want of confidence, but, in honest fact, a gross and cowardly personal_at-tack upon the Minister of Finance, amendment was worded at great length, and with especially care, in order to damage Mr Galt as mnch an possible before tbe poblic Tbe amendment proper was prefaced with long preamble, setting forth the facts as far as they were subservient to the end to be obtained, and bo further.The gist, however, lay in the following ;\u2014 \u201c That, ta view of tbe facts above recited this Honte would be failing in its duty If it did wot express iu disapprobation of an onaathor-ised advance of n large amonnt of public money, and of tbe snbseqnsnt departure from the conditions of the Order in Council under which the advnne* was mads.'\u2019 Mow, the whole porpone and intent was to strike, the Government throngh the Minister of Finaaee, by charging him with having improperly adva-iced money without the authority of Parliament.I» must be remarked that this sum in question was one hundred thousand dollars loaned to the city of Montreal in 1859\u2014 a transaction of five ?«*» ago, and having no earthly relation to the pseaent Government, bnt really belonging to tb.e fourth Government from tbe present.So that If there were, ns is falsely pretended, any culpability' in the transaction, the existing Ministry have nothing to do with it.The debate was somewhat lengthy and not a little ncrimonions, as well ft might, for we are positively at a loss to find tetms short of vulgarity and blackguardism wish which to designate the cowardly and contemptible assault upon tbe publie character of one of the most able men of the Province.It is hardly necessary to say that Mr.Galt\u2019s friends rallied round him with that heartiness and good-will that could not bat be highly grateful to the honorable gentleman under circumstances so harrasmng and on pi saot.Tbe discussion lasted ontil near twelve, daring which several admirable speeches were delivered on the Ministerial side, amongst which we may, without being invidious, particularize those of Mr.McGee and Mr.Galt.That of tbe member for Montreal West s of great power and eloquence, in which, Mr.Holton's sensibilities are not dead to all the known laws of honor and gentlemanly aspirations, he most have writhed in torture The division took place nt half-past eleven, and resulted in a majority of two for the amendment, the yeas being 89 to 58 nays.The Ministry were therefore beateu\u2014uot, be it observed, upon any motion objective to their policy, not for any act of commission or omission of their own, but upon a personal issue in regard to an act of a single member of a Ministry which has paid the penalty of its moo, whatever they may have bees, two yean ago.As we have said, we dare not trust oor-selves with unreserved expression of the feel ings of ewtempt which we entertain for this dastardly set of the moot cowardly, - sneaking and unprincipled faction that ever obstructed the onward progress of a country, or wantonly endangered the best interests of a people.The House adjourned immediately after the vote wi law passed at tbe instance of the late Adminis-\t0f jjnjtary Divisions varying in size and tration all tbe advantage of a fair and thorough\t- -.trial.But, apart from these motives, there is an objec ion to immediate legislation on the subject of the militia which I feel it to be my doty to bring forward.For nearly two years past the lists of officers of the Sedentary Militia have been neglected, and bare not been kept up lo their full compliment; and as the » u__^ s-\tramnlatiou caonoloe I law I have in contemplation cannot be put tot# population being formed under this Bill, if it becomes law, and in order to admit of the strength of battalions being proportioned to tbe population of tbe respective divisions, it is provided that tbe companies may consist of from forty-five to ninety rank and file, exclusive of officers and non-commissioned officers, and that battalions may be composed of from four to ten companies.Now, once the service operation without the co?®Qrr?nc® ,\tmiliti*men are aorolled and theofficersap- cers of the Sedentary Militia, it will oe a so-\t^ Commauder-in-Chief, will it lately necessary to wait uoul the requm.e ap- not ^ the eagie3t thing in tho world to cause pointments have been made.Therefore, if the present law works but imperfectly, as 11 most probable, very little time will be lost by waiting until next session aud employing the in-terveuing period in completing the orgumza-tw» s»r1pntarv Militia.And now I tionoftbe Sedentary _ most say that if it be true that this bill is founded upon the compulsory principle, it is also true that the same principle is to be found in the present law, and that to an infinitely the whole of the force thns organized to march to headquarters, or to any part whatever of the Province ?All being thus prepared in advance, I think I may be forgiven the expression, which was perhaps a little too figurative and a little too military, made use of by me some time ago, namely, i( that with the plan I had in view, I could make the militia march at the first sound of tbe bugle.\" And yet this expression need not cause the least alarm iu ID me preseu* ** i\t.___ expression neea UOt cause me lésa» K1KIU1 iu greater degree and in a much more severe tor .^ WOrld.The Government does not intend Nothing can be easier to prove than this, and i\t.I will prove it to you in a moment.By my bill no men will be ballotted for tn any Com- pany, if tbs re nre found m that Company a sufficient number of service men who are already enrolled in the Volunteer Force, or if a sufficient number of such mso in that Company come forward of their own accord and offer to be enrolled in tbe Service Militia; and in no esse will more men be drawn by lot from any Company than may be required to form, or complete, one sixth of the whole number of the Service men in such Company.By my bill, then, a call is first made for \\ olunteers, anil it Is only in default of inch that resort is bad to the ballot.Is it so with tbe present law 7 are to march tbe militia to the froutier unnecessarily, nor even to withdraw tbe enrolled men from\u2019 their employments unless it becomes absolutely necessary to do so.Organizing tbs militia npon an efficient footing is not provoking war ; it is takiug a prudent precautiob against a danger which is remote perhaps, but still possible.Besides, it is not improbable that, for years to come, the only duty which the service militia will have to perform will be that of appearing at the annual review, aud nothing more.On the other band, in case of their services being required,.it will not be enough to bring tbe men together and make them acquainted with the officers who are to command them.Their instruction must be tuo\t- - -\t\u2022 waw fni- ih* coramauu mew.lucir iuswu^huu Uiuai.uc the militiamen referred to m an) y ^\tprovided for.The question of how this is to purpose of ascertaining whether »k«J w ing to bs enrolled in the Service Militia .\t.o, not at all ; they are not consulted in any way First of all, they are enrolled by the assessors or valuators for the respective municipalities, by whom rolls of their names are transmitted, The fo

Monday evening Tbe summer tempera-tore casse ea in serions earnest, and yesterday was tbe bottes* day of tbe season so far.A POLICE FORCE FOR ST.BAGVBCR.Tbe Council of the above Municipality are reabiag arrangements for tbe organisation of \u2022 police force.A temporary lock-up and station-house has already been obtained- DROWNED.A seamsn named William Sharpley, belong ing to tbe brig M*rgartt, layiogat Cap Rouge was accidentally drowned on Sunday night while endeavoring to \u2022nk# bis across tbs limber alongside the veseel.Deeeeeed wee an Englishman, nod was about twenty Soux j\u2014n of »*\u2022\u2022 ing of words.And yet, it is this beautiful sys this ballot'.iog with closed doors, in secret, without the knowledge of the militiamen, that the friends of the late Ministry cry up so losdly, at tbe same time that they exert themselves to put the inhabitants of the Province on their guard against what they call the compulsory system, the draft ! Well, I ask any honest and reasonable man whether it is possible to imagine a more coercive system, or one that is more despotic than the one on which the present law is based ?In my bill I have taken care to restore tbe old organization of the Sedentary MUiti*, of that militia which from time immemorial has rendered such good service to tbe ponntry, and which bas hitherto been so popular, i gm really unable to understand how it is that certaifi persons have been go mistaken on the subject of the importance of tbe Sedentary Militia.Such persons hav» not chosen to see in that arm of the public defence anything bet 5® inert force, commanded by superannuated and incompetent officers, on-able to render any service.Those \"ho, is defiance of well known facts in the history of the Sedentary Miliüs, have hitherto scouted the idea of that force being of any use have been either very ignorant or very insincere.Tbe Sedentary Militia has never, it Is true, been by its nature essentially effective as a moveable force, available onder all circumstances.No, doubtless, siec* the services rendered by the Seden-tary MUiti* have generally been of another kind, but they have not, for that, been less important.It has always been the officers of that arm who have made the Militia Bolls and Returns; and who, in time of war, have called out or drawn by lot the men required to fill up the Incorporated Militia, and in either case, have marched them to headquarters.Above all, it has always been they who, using the moral influence they derived from their posi tiou lo society, have smoothed away the diffi cal ties which have arisen from time to time when contingente were required to be raised.These old and influential men were they who brought the mutinous, whe* Ipere were any, to respect authority and listen to res^og.In one word, it has been by their influence that the authorities have been able, in times of trouble, to secure obedience end submission to law.What, then, must bp thought of the wisdom of that policy which.In tha organization of the public defence, puts aside so powerful an eofficn npd replaces it by that most ineffective one, and most unpopular in every locnlitj-vthe Municipal Assessors! By my bill the duties of the bedeotaxy Militia will be the same an they bare been in times past ; it will always be by the agency-of the Sedentary Militia that the eootiogems for the Service Militia will be famished to tbetCommaader-ia-Chief.In order to keep the Sedentary Militia distinct from the Service Force, it is prorjded that in future no person who has not attained Jhe age of forty-five years shall be appointed M hfticer in the Sedentary Militia.By this the appointment of officers to serve in the Sedentary JJilitia will not diminish the nnmbers\t*\u2022»*!:\u2022 Militiamen ; and by their age end \u2019kek position 1$ yociety those appointed will be ab.'?to discharge *
