Well, \u2018women are must unuc- countable creatures! I do believe they delight in turning things upside down, and making themselves und the rest of the world uncomfortable.What's the use of choking people with dust, and deluging em with soap and water twice a year?However let tho dear enigmas have their own way, I'm sure I am the last person in the world to object.\" With these philosophical reflections yet in his mind, Mr, Mayfield defuly threaded his way through a colony of white- wash pails and lime kettles that surrounded the front door, and entered upon the scene of action.It was quite plain, from the shout with which the children greeted his *appearance, that he was a general fuvorite.\u2018Hullo, Uncle Dick ; we'ro cleaning house!\" cried Master Henry Augustus Mayfield, who was mounted astride of 4 doubled up feather bed, castiguting it fearfully with his mother's best silk parasol.*Ain\u2019t it splendid, Uncle Dick ?* exclaimed Miss Juli, who was endeavor ing to \u2018pry out\u2019 the principle of sound from a thirty dollar music box, by introducing a carving knifevinto interior works, while Mrs.Mayfield, half dis- tructed by calls from divers directions, was totally unconscious of the mischief being wrought.\u2018Dick, I am so puzzled and annoyed,\u2019 she said.\u2018Here is John culled to the city by a pressing law-suit, and the whole house upside down ?' \u201cI'hought that was what you ladies liked,\u201d said Dick, perching himself upon the top of the dining~table, and rescuing a shell basket from the destrac- tive grasp of the smullest Mayfield of all.\u2018And my cook has gone, and ths fire won't burn, and the wall whiteners haven't come this morning, und the parlor ceiling is half untinished, and you know the scwing-sucieiy is to be here to morrow nighti\u2014and, O Dick, what shall I do \u2018Don't fiet I\u201d suid Richard, soothingly, \u2018I'll make the fire burn, or I'll know the reason why; and J'Il finish the ceiling for you,\u2019 You?\u2018Yes, I.Didn't I whiten my owu room at college, when we boys smoked it into the color of an old snuff-box !\u2014 And ihon I'l tack the carp:t down and sce about putting those disucated Led- steads together.\u2019 *But Dick, you must be too tired, after dancing till twelve o'clock at the pic me last night.\u2019 .\u2018Me tired' Fiddlestick ! the refractory stove .The very fire was not proof against Dick's sunny determination.Ii broke into a.cheerful blaze the moment he attaoked the citadel, and Isabel's face brightened simultaneously.\u201cThe skill with which he next erceted a scaffolding and mounted thereon, with a panoply of white-wash pails and brushes, was perfectly astounding, the more so, as his slender figure, rather pale come plexion, aristocratically small fect and hands, conveyed the idea of one who was adapted only to Broadway pave.meuts and glittering Lai! rooms.\u2018I suppose the workmen didn't leave their wardrobes, when they went away last eveming, Bell he nsked, when he had scaled the rather perilous height.*No,' said Lis sister-in-law, laugh ing.\u201cI'hen just hand up that old sheet\u2014 and a picce of bed cord yonder.Now don\u2019t you admire my tout ensemble ?' *Uncle Dick looks like a ghost,\u2019 said Master Henry Augustus, *No, bo don*t\u2014:e looks like the old miller down at the pond,\u2019 struck in Miss Julia, \u2018Upon my word, I don't know which is the most complimentary,\u201d observed Richard, drily *Now then, clear the truck.every soul of you, and give me a chance !\u2019 And be worked on, now pausing to survey his achievements, Lut oftenest Where's of all, relapsing into thoughts of the beautiful young damsel at the pic-nic last night who hud been so studiously cold and reserved toward him.\u2018She won't like me,\u2019 thought he, \u2018and I ean\u2019t for the life of me tell why.\u2014 Well, ne 1 said before, women are unaccountable concerns !' \u2018Amy, said Miss Brownleigh to her pretty young cousin, \u2018I wish you would just run over to Mrs.Mayfield's with this note.The children are at school, and I have no one to send *0).no,\u2019 suid Amy while a fresh tinge suffused her delicate cheek.*I don't want to encounter that superfine collegian.\u2018Nonsense, he isn\u2019t there\u2014he is staying with Harry Franklin.\u2019 *O, then I wili take the note,\u201d said Amy, rising, and luoking round for her cugnettish little gipay hat, \u2018You are the strangest girl, Amy,\u2019 said her cousin.\u201cWhat can be the reason that you dislike Richard May- fiold! He is s0 handsome aud so talented ! *I don\u2019t fancy these increly ornamental people,\u201d said \u2018Amy demurely.\u201cMy husband must be of soma use in the world.\" \u2018How do you know but Maytield is \u2018Can't be possible,\u2019 said Amy archly shaking her curls, \u201cHis hands are too small for anything but lemon color kid gloves, I'll wager a new hounet, Alice thai he never did anything more labor- ivus than Lo carry a box of cigars, in his life Miss Brownleigh laughed and Amy passed out of the vine- wreathed porch, wondering within hers2lf whether Mr.Richard Mayfield had been much vexed becansn she hud refused to dance with him the evening before.Mrs.John Mavficld\u2019s house was at no very great distance, and as Amy was quite intimate with that lady, and understood the domestic satuinalia that was at present transpiring watbin her domains, she did not think it necessary to kuock, but openad the door und walked in without ceremony.There stood Dick, the apex of a pyramidal seaffulding of boards, his fine broadcloth raiment obscured by a lime- splashed sheet which was girdled around his waist by a ponderous knot of rope, and his black curls overshadowed by a coarse old straw hat, working away as if for dear life.His back was toward the dour, and supposing the step to be that of bis sister-in-law, he said gaily, without turning his head\u2014 *What! is the carpet ready so soon, Bell! I'm jast through here, and I'll come and tack it down in one minute! Not receiving any answer, he threw down the brush and turned roudd.\u201cMiss Brownleigh He never had looked so handsome in his life\u2014and that was the first tho't that rushe:! through Amy's mind, in the midst of ali her embarrassment: for Dick had the advantage of the young lady in this respeet\u2014she was embarrasssed, and he was not.He sprang, laughingly to the ground and threw oft his ghostly drapery.*You must think I have a curious taste in costume,\u2019 seid he archly, \u2018but the truth is, Isabel has been disappointed in her hived help and my mother is away from home, so I am uclping her clean house!\u201d *} did not koow\u2014T thought you had no taste\u2019 \u2014stammeted Amy, unconsei- ously speaking vat her thoughts, that Me.\u2018You supposed that Twas nothing | more than an ornamental piece of fuin-, Ask Isabel about that,\u201d said \u2018But iture ?Diek, half pigued, balf smiling.can I be of any use Lo yon noi ?I had a note from my cousin for Mrs.Mayfield,\u201d said Amy still spaking scarce above her breath.\u2018She his gone down to the farther orchard,\u2019 said Dick.*Jt is some distance, and nota very straight path.\u2014 If you will wait until I remove a little of this lime, J shall Le happy to escort you down there) Half an hour age.Amy would have hanzhtile informed him it was quite unnee:ssary for her to trouble him\u2014 now she stood and waited.I was a lonz walk, under the overspreading shadow of nelle apple trees, bending with their weight of crimson and rugset frait, and through meadows ankie deep in purple and bloom, and nodding plumes of golden red, yet for all that, Amy was quite surprised when Mrs.Masfield coma in sight, carrying a little basket of rose-cheeked peaches from a pet tree beyond.We believe it is ene of woman's special and incontrovertible privileges to change ter mind\u2014therefore nobody was much astonished when three months subsequently there was a ramor of the engagement of Mr.Mayfield and Miss Brownleigh! Still however, Dick always.declared that its was an insoluble mystery to him that when serenades and schottisches, poetry and perftunes had all failed to win an entrance to the maiden\u2019s heart, a white wash brash should have been the unor- mantic weapon which at lust brought down the barricades! \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The Estimates for 1801.We have already given the leading figures of the estimated Revenue and Expenditure for 1861.Jun addition wo give the lullowing detail of the pru- posed expenditure :\u2014 ESTIMATE Of the Services for which a Vote of the Legislature is 1equired.Ciril Government.\u2014 Governor Gon- cral's Secretary's Office, $810; Provincial Secretary's Offine, 13,246 ; Provincial Registrar's Office, 4,817; Re ceiver Gencial's Office, 11,125 ; Fi- | \u2014 Aid nance Minister's Department, 13,620 ; Ditto Customs Branch, 12,110; Dito Audit Branch, 5,560 ; Executive Council Office, 9,244; Department of Publie Works, 15,472 ; Bureau of Agriculture, 6.200; Pust Office Depurt- ment, 23,980; Crowa Land ditto, 39,- 431 ; Attorney and Sulicitor General Enust, 2,116; Ditto, ditto West, 3.750; Contingencies of Public Departments, 60,000.Toral 221,477.Administration of Justice, East.\u2014 To niect Contingent Expenses of the Admiaistration of Justice in L.C., not otherwise provided for, $119.486.\u2014 Total 119,488.; .Administration of Justice, West, \u2014 Salaries, Court of Chuncery, 5,050.Ditto, Court of Queen's Bench and Commun Pleas, 10,220; To meet Contingent Expenses uf the Administration of Justice, U.C., not otherwise provided for, 23,100.Total 38,370.Police \u2014Amount required to meet the Expenses of the Water Police, Quebee, for the present year, $1,200; Ditto, for the LKxpeunses of the River Police, Montreal, for 1861, 10,700, of which to be borne by the Harbour Commissioners 3,700 balance required, 7,- 000 ; To pay to Policemen at Sault Ste.Marie and rent of Luck up, 882.Totul 9,082.Penitentiary, Reformatories and Prison Inspections.\u2026\u2014-For support of Provincial l\u2019entitentiary, 30,000; Ditto Refurmatory Ll\u2019risons, 24,000; Ditto Rockwood léstabli-lment, 12,000 ; Erection of Rockwood Buildings, 18,- 300 ; Inspection of Prisons and A- gylum, 10,500.Total 94,800.Legislative Council.\u2014Salary of the Clerk, $2.000; Ditto, Assistant Clerk and french \u2018Translator, 1,600; Ditto, law Clerk, 1,000 ; Ditto, Chaplain and Librarian, 8903 Ditto, Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, 400; Ditto, Sergeant at Arms, 400; Ditto, Head Messenger, 400; Ditto, Door Keeper, 240 ; Ditto, Three Messengers for the Session at 180 each, 540 ; Contipgent Expenses, 70,000.Total 77,380.Legislative Assembly.\u2014Salary of the Speaker, (part) $1,200; Ditto Clerk, 2.000, Dilto Assistant Clerk, 1,600; Ditto Law Clerk and English Translator, 2,000; Ditto Clerk of the Crown in Chancery, 640; Contingencies of ditto ditto ditto, 1,000; Salary of the Sergeant at Arms, 400; Contingent Expenses, 106,000.Total 114,840.General Expenses.\u2014For Expenses of Printing aud Binding the Laws, at $16,000, Ditto Distributing ditto, 3,400; Ditto Printing for the Commission for the Revision of the Statutes, 24,000 ; Grant to Parliament Library, 4,000.Total 47,400.Education.~\u2014-Ad:ditional Sum for Common Schools, Upper and Lower Cuvada, $168,000; (6,000 of which out of the Lower Crauda share to be applied to Normal Schools.)

volume are the reports of Minister of Finance and-the Board of Audit.\u2014 Our columns ure so crowded this morning that we must content ourselves witn the following extract from the Report of the Minister.Mr Galt says speaking of the 6 per cent sterling debt : \u2018There has been redeemed the sum of [£2,106,000 sterling] © $10,249,200 which bore interest at 6 per cent.To effect the re- emption there bas been issued as shewn, including all costs of operation, &11,- 504,255,\u2014-which bears 5 per cent interest and 1-2 per $575,212 cent Sinking Fund 57,521 $14,752 Total annual charge.642,733 Increase of present charge.17,781 It will therefore be observed, that by the small anoual additional payment of $17,781 over the former charge, for interest alone of $614,952\u2014the menns are absolutely provided for the entire liquidation,, in fifty years, of an amount of debt equal, belore the conversion, to $10,249,200.I'he new Stock and Bonds are guaranteed to bear 5 per cent interest for twenty-five years.After which they are redeemable on six months notice by Government.Should, therefore, the credit of the country improve, as may be hoped, it may hercafter be possible to replace them by Securities bearing « lower rate of interest\u2014by taking advantage of a favorable money market.The Province is ulso pro\u2018ect- ed aguinst tDe risk of an unfavouable market when the former debt matured \u2014which being payable at a specific date, must bave been met.The whole expenditure incurred upon Railways has probably not been less than une hundred millions of dollars, of which a large proportion has been expended within the Province, in labor and materials, tending to develope its resources, while supplying the greatest facilities for the internal trade of the country.The total actual debt of the Province, inclusive of every engagement, direct und indirect, is stated at.Provision is made for the redemption of some, and the unprovided debt is exactly.The interest on this at 5, 6, and 8 per cent, according to the rate of it, deducting the interest we receive in India Stock, is exact- $58,292,467 $55,356,925 ly.> $2,774,946 The Sinking Fuadis, per

Maj.of the Sixth Regiment.When the Sisth Regiment arrived at Baltimore there were evident signs of riot among the citiz:ns; there was a reversion of the troops, so that that the right was placed on the extreme left, with the exception of the staff.\u2014 The railroad company undertook to take from the lower depot in Baltimore to the Washington depot the troops in detached portions of the train by horse power; when they had carried over all except Co.D City Guards of Lowell, and Capt.Dyke's command, of Stone- ham, Boson Company the nest (after the horses came down to be attached to the cars) commenced tearing up the rails and laying big anchors on the] railroad and piles of lumber, for the purpose of culting off the above named companies.These companies seeing the communication cut off froni their comrades lef: the cars and formed in line, commanded by Adjutant Farr, and the order for march was given.Then the mob; after they had marched probably twenty or thirty feet, proceeded in front with a secession flag and commenced cheering for Jeff.Davis and South Carolina, aud groaning for Lincolu and nigger steal- ers of the Norih\u2014 Massachusetts in particular 5 and ai this point

the first fire many were killed; the firing then became general, but from what troops cafinot say, the mob using pistols freely with all kinds of missiles, making frequent attempts tu get away the

Secretary of State to Gov.Hicks of Maryland : DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Apr.22,61.Thomas H.Hicks, Governor of Maryland.Sir : I have bad the honor to receive your.communication of this morning, in which you havc informed me that you have felt it to be yonr duty to advise the President of the United States to tration furnish him.We do not question the entire patriotism of every member of it, nor their zeal for the public welfsre.The President, in the selection of Lis Cabinet, very properly regarded the long and cflicient services of men in the advocacy of the princi ples that trinmphed in his election \u2014 To him the future was seen in the past.But in the few weeks of bis official life all past political distinctions have been completely effaced.From a dream of profound peace we awake with our enemy ut our throat.Who shall grapple with this foe > Men that can match bis activity, quick instincts and physic: al force.À warrior\u2014not a philosoper ; a Cromwell\u2014not a Bacon or a Locke.Many of the Cubinet, haviug outliv- i ed the hot blood of youth, are vainly attempinyg to reuson with this foe.As well might they oppose u feather to a whirlwind.Jefferson Davis has surrounded himself with epirits kindred to his own.\u2018Fbink of offerirg the olive- branch to suck men us Toombs and Wigfall.\u2018These men are secking to put a chain about our necks, to secure our

renders life desira- le.Were the selection of the Cabinet to be made to-day, would not the past be entirely forgotten in the pres: ent?Would not all party, ties Le completely effaced ?ls not the Cabinet the représentative send elsewhere :he troups vff Annapolis, and elso that nu more be sent through | Maryland, end that you have further suggested that Lord I,yons be reguest- | ed to act ca mediator between the cun- | tending parties in our county, to pre- ! vent the effusion of blood.Fhe President directs me to acknowl- | edge the receipt of that communication and to mssure you that he hus weighed the counsels which it contains wii: the respect which ho habitunlly cherishes! for the chief magistrates of the several States, and especially for yourself.He.regrets as deeply as any mngistrate or! citizen of the country can.that demonstrations against the safety of the United States, with very extensive preparation for ithe cffusion of blood, have made it his duty to call out the force : to which you allude.The force now sought to be sent throngh Maryland is.intended for nothing but the defense of this capital.The President has necessarily confided the choice of the National highway which that force shail take in coming to this city to Lieut.Gen.Scott commanding the army of the United States, who like his only predecessor, is not less distinguished for bis human - ity than for bis loyalty, patriotism, and distinguished public service.The President iustructs me to add: that the national highway thus selected | Ly the Lieutenant-General has been chosen by him upon consultation with prominent magistrates und citizans of Maryland, as the one which, while a route is absolutely necessary, is further | removed from the populous cities of | the State, and with the expectation { | that it would therefore, be the least objectionable one.The President cannot but remembar that there hus been a time in the histo- # ry of the American Union when forces designed for the defense of its capital were not unwelcome anywhere in the | State of Maryland, und certainly not! at Annapolis\u2014then, as now the capital | of that patriotic State, and then, also,\u2019 one of the capituls of the Union.If eighty years could have obliterated all | other noble sentiments of that age in | Maryland, the President would bei hopeful nevertheless, that there is one that would forever remain there and everywhere.That sentiment is, that po domestic contention whatever that may arise among the parties of this republic, ought, in any case, to be referred to any foreign arbitrament, least of all to the arbitrament of an European Monarchy.I have tue honor to be, with distinguished consideration, Your Excellency's most obedient servant, WILLIAM H.SEWARD.\u2014\u2014 DH
