o\u2019clock.ST.KOCH\u2019S SAVINCt\u2019S BANK.Hon.Mr.De La TERRIERE brought up the Bill as amended in Committee, and moved the adoption of the amendments.The amendments having been adopted, the hon.member moved that the Bill be now read a third time.Hon Sir N F BELLEAU stated that he desired to move certain further amendments which he was not quite prepared to do at pr.sent, and the third reading might be deferred until to-morrow.Hon Mr LeTELLIER De ST.JUST asked whether the hon.member could indicate the nature of the amendments he intended to propose.Hon Sir N F BELLEAU said that he proposed to move that after the papers required by the Commission of Inquiry had been submitted and exaimned, and the witnesses had testified, the said papers and documents which it was imper-tant to the Directors to retain under their control should be returned to them.He also desired to move as an additional amendment, that the costs incurred at the instance of the depositors, should be defrayed out of the moneys ap-pretaining to them and not out of the funds of the Province.Hon Mr CAMPBELL said he was about to suggest something similar, but as this proceeding was stated to be a purely philanthropic one, he thought the Commissioners should not be paid at all.These Commissioners were usually allowed 10 per day and an equal smu t, the Clerk which would make $40, since it was proposed that there should be thr e gentlemen on the Commission and as examinations of this kind were usually prolonged the cost would amount to some 4300 per month so that the actual amount due the depositors, would in a very short time be exceeded by the expenses.Hon Mr LeTELLIER said this was worse than the proposition of the other hon member, who merely stipulated that the Province should not be made to bear the expense.It was then agreed that the 3rd reading would be deferred until to-morrow.SECOND READING.Onmotion of Hon Mr SANBORN the following Bills wsre read a second time and referred to the Committee on Private Bills :\u2014 Bril to incorporate the Vale Minning Company Hill to incorporate the Missisquoi Mining and Sn.'elting Company.Bill to incorporate the Logan Mining and Smelting Company.Bill to incorporate the St.Flavien Mining Company.Bill to incorporate the Sutton Mining Company.Previous to the reading ot the first of these Bills.Hon.Mr.RYAN said that he had no intention to object to any of them, but thought that the legislation concOrning all such measures should be uni'orm.Thes'n companies might be productive ot much benefit, but if they were made the means simply of promoting speculation and siock-jobbing they would te an injury.As President of the Montreal Mining Company he had had the opportunity of le.arning something of these matters.That Company\u2019s stock had been made the basis of stock-jobbing for many years, and had consequently suffered very much in the public mind, and it was only now that the real value of its property was becoming duly appreciated.The stock had been run up at times to unjustifiable prices, and then depressed -auch below its worth.He thought that in all charters like those now asked there should be some clause requiring that a certain amount ot the capital be paid up, or a certain amount of work done, before the companies were permitted to place their stock in the market.If all such Bills could be consolidated, and a general law enacted, he thought the results would be beneficial to all concerned.Hon.Mr.SANBORN said the remarks of the Don.member, to a certain extent, were very just.Ho did not, however, think that a general law would be advantageous, but there might be a genet al rule in the Committee by which all such ij.ii™ \u2014.-rvi-ilR ko maria nnifnrm in nrinn.inlft.Tt tee was

Company desired, for substantial I\u2019easons, no doubt, to have a Bill of its own, he thought it would be unwise to refuse them.Let the public be duly protected from fraud, and the more companies there were the better it would be for the country.Hoa.Mr.CAMPBELL said he agreed with the hon.member (Mr.Ryan) in his observationSj and it was but too true that many such Companies were organized not to work the mines, but to provide a basis for speculation, and it would be a great advantage gained if the charters were limited in the sense proposed.Hon.Mr.CURRIE said that the 15 h clause (of the Vale Mining Company's Bill, then under debate) provided the company would not go' into operation until ten per cent, of the capital was paid up.Hem.Mr.CAMPBELL\u2014What guarantee was that that it would go into operation ?Hou.Mr.SANBORN\u2014What if it did not?Hon.Mr.CAMPBELL\u2014Then the Bill would be simply an encouragement to jobbing.It was well known that through such means many persons had been cajoled and cheated of large sums.Hon.Mr.F.BLAIR said he concurred in those views, but thought it was the business of the committee to devise the means of checking the evils stated.The Private Bill Committee of the Assembly had, many years ago, adopted certain rules of ibis kind.Hon Mr MOORE\u2014Hope that no action would be taken which would place the companies already in existence at a disadvantage, by giving greater privileges to the recently formed ones, and expatiated at length upon the great advantage .to the country of attracting capital from Boston and other American cities, through whose monied men most these mines were now being operated.Hon Mr PERRY insisted that it was A duty to the public to prevent companies to organize upon a fictitious capital.Banks were not allowed to begin business until they had a.certain amount paid up, and nebher should mining companies.Hon Mr SANBORN stated that very large amounts of money had been paid already for some of these mines, which was of itself a sufficient guarantee that they would not become the basis of mere speculation After a few words more from ITon.Messrs.Ryan and Reesor, the bills, as already stated, were read and referred.LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.Quebec, Sept.10.The Speaker took the chair at 3 o\u2019clock.FORT BRUS EAILWAY.whether it is the intention of the Government to take steps to prevent this being done in future ?Hon.Mr.DORION replied that the Government were not aware that twenty dollars were so retained.The Board of Agriculture, however, he said, were authorzed to retain ton per cent of the money granted to Agricultural Societies by the Legislature, for certain purposes.Whether tlie twenty dollars alluded to was a portion of the ten per cent or not he did not know.The ten per cent would more than cover it, however.GEORGIAN BAY SHIP CANAL.Mr MACKENZIE, of Lambton, moved for the appointment of a Committee to consider the practicability and propriety of a Canal between Georgian Bay and Lake Ontario, by Lake Sim-coe and Lake Scugog, and through the County of Ontario ; and that such Committee do consist of Messrs.McDougall, Mowat, Muuro, Scoble, Burwell, McKellar, and the mover.Some objections were made by different members to the appointment of the committee on the ground that three other committees on a similar subject had already been appointed.THE LATE JUDICIAL APPOINTMENT\u2014NON-CONFIDENCE MOTION.The order was then called for Mr.Cockurn\u2019s resolution :\u2014That this House feel it their duty at once to express their deep regret that His Excellency should have been advised to make the Judicial appointment by which a vacancy has recently been created in the representation of the County of St.Hyacinthe, under circumstances calculated to prejudice, if not destroy, the independence of this House, and to corrupt at its source our system of Parliamentary Government.Mr.COCKBURN requested that the motion might be allowed to stand Hon, J.S.MACDONALD strongly objected.He thought that there should not be a moment\u2019s delay in proceeding with a matter of so much importance.If the Government were not in possession of the confidence of the House, or it the hon.gentleman assumed to lead the Opposition, the sooner these points were established the better.He took it for granted that the honorable gentleman had not placed this motion on the paper without intending to go on with it.It would not do to be continually bringing forward resolutions of this nature, and when the proper time came, for hon.gentlemen to shirk the responsibility of proceeding with them.Mr.COOKBUBN [interrupting].\u2014STo.There is a mistake.I misunderstood the question.I am down for two notices of motion, and I was not aware that this was the motion called.1 The SPEAKER\u2014It is the second of the hon gentleman\u2019s notices.Mr COCKBURN\u2014I see no object, then, in this motion being postponed.Mr JOS DUFRESNE said he wished the hon gentleman would allow his motion to stand until some papers he was about to move for should be brought down, as they might throw some light upon the subject.The honorable member was proceeding to discuss the importance of the question, when Mr WHITE rose to a point of order, and was met with loud cries of \u201c Order, order,\u201d from the Opposition.When he could be heard, he was understood to say that he understood the honorable member for West Northumberland\u2019s motion was first put on the notice paper.Hon Mr HOLTON said that the honorable member for West Northumberland ought to proceed with his motion at once, or else withdraw it.Hon J A MACDONALD said no doubt the Government would be glad to have tho honorable gentleman move his resolution before ihe the honorable member for Montcalm's address was carried, because they thought there would be a chance of the motion failing for want of evidence to sustain it.Hon Mr DORION said the honorable member for West Northumberland certainly had some means of supporting the motion when he put it upon the motion paper, and contemplated going on with it without the papers which the motion of the honorable member for Montcalm referred to.It was due to the Government that such motions as the present, amounting as they did to motions of want of confidence, should be pror ceeded with or dropped the moment they were reached.The honorable member for Kingston had put a similar notice on the paper some days ago, and then when the time came to proceed with it, had allowed it to drop, and the honorable member had not dared to renew it sinpe.Had

NOTICE.THE Undersigned GIVES NOTICE that he will make application to the Corporation of Montreal for permission to ERECT a STEAM ENGINE in the Building No.228 Visitation Street.ISIDORE BOURGOUIN.Montreal, August 24, 1863.2m tis 202 Hon J S MACDONALD brought up the report cf the Railway Committee on the bill for amending the charter incorporating the Fort Erie Railway Company.He noticed that the bill came from the Committee with features of the most objectionable kind ; and such as, he was sorry to say applied to other similar bills.The Bill provided that the capital should be $2,000,000, but the Company were r'mpowered to go into operation on $100,000 of the stook being subscribed, with ten per cent of that ; amount, or only $10,000, paid up.The great fault of undertakings of this nature was that they destroyed the character of Canadian enterprizes.These charters were granted ; they remained on th« statute book inoperative ; and when bona fide Companies desired to go into operation for \u2019the Lposecution of the works, these charters stood in the way of their obtaining the necessary powers from the legislature, and nothing remained for them but tofeuy tfie bogus Companies up.It was a farce to suppose th&t in this case the Company could go into operafai yrjtb $10,000.And it must be also observed that there W0 no requirement for even the $10,000 to be deposit-1 ed id any Bank, the certificate of the Provisional Chairman to the effect that it had been paid was m Rself sufficient.He thought the powers .conjferpsd by fte bill to he of the most dangerous .character,\t., .Mr SIMPSON said tee gilf was simply intended to renew a charter w.ihich hfd bq&n previously granted, and to incorporate the Brie an$ O#,-/ Railway with it.The lattor was a railway tan° t -p,\u2019 considerable money had been already 0U ap.1\t\" could assure the House that r\u2014Ær.»\t*»*'.\u201c¦> would be presented in goodfaitn.Hon Mr.CARTIER said that when he Ifcntto Welland the other day to speak to 5,000 persons about the cod fish in Gaspe Basin he found the necessity for this railway and a desire existing for its active prosecution.Hon J S MACDONALD said that his object in mentioning the matter was to protest against this species of legislation.Hon J H CAMERON said an Order in Executive Council relating to the payment of the amount due by the town of Niagara was embraced in the contract for the purchase of the poad in process of extension.Don Mr BROWN said there was great force in the general objection of the Premier as to bills of fhia description.But he thought that in this case the objection gras fairly met by what had been stated by hon.gentlemen opposite.On the suggestion of tho Attorney General West, the reception of the report of the comjflit- Hon J A MACDONALD\u2014What, what 1 not dared to proceed with it ?Hon Mr CARTIER said the honorable Attorney General East ought to (jaye listened to the remarks of the honorable member for West Northumberland, who had stated that it was another motion that be wished to have stand.Mr.COCKBURN said the control of the motion rested with him, and he felt disposed to postpone it with a view of obtaining the information the honorable member for Montreal was about to move for.The papers which that gentleman was about to move for wpre pertinent to the question, and it was of great importance that they should be before the House before this motion was put.He felt thoroughly in earnest, he said, i& bringing forward this motion, and he would see that ft fairly and fully put before the House, and before tfee country too.He proposed dealing with it with tfie hoçeçt fairness of one who felt that it was a question of importance in its future bearing upon the Province.If tee honorable gentleman on the Ministerial benches insisted on the question being disposed of at onoe, fee would have to withdraw the motion for the pressmt, s.nd renew it at some other time.Hon Mr DORION said WAS the proper course.The correspondence fo l;e\tfor by the hon member for Montreal woqlif npf feet the question, however.It was only a simple letter of resignation, and would be brought down the following day.Hon Mr.McGEE said he hoped the hon.member would pot only drop his motion then, but drop it forever.IVbatever the members of the House might ihink of t!;e circumstances under which the appointment of tee tom member for St.Hyacinthe to a judgeship had been made, he, for one, was opposed to the House sitting in judgment upon the Judge\u2019s appointment.He thought I tee House ought not to be asked to pronounce any oplcfon which might injure the usefulness upon the Benok of one who was recently one ot the most highly respected members of the House.(Hear, hear.) Whether tea isircumstances by which he was surrounded were such ap to render his acceptance of the office at that partteuiaf time a proper move on his part, was a matter-about steich he [Mr.McGee) had a very decided opinion of ite «WP, That the Government had made him the offer ikejr had done, he thought was dieply to be regretted, feut wJjile 116 was of that opinion, he yet felt that it wotea be yery injudicious for any action to be taken upofi tee subject by the House.He sincerely hoped the hon.member for West Northumberland would allow him to advise him to withdraw his notice permanently\u2014unless, ipdeed^ there was something in the paper to be broughf down which would demand the attention of the Homw, Mr.COCKBURN said the remarks of the hon.member were very proper, but his proposed motion dfd got aifect the hon.gentleman who had accepted the appointment.(Uh ! oh 1) Its object was very differenf frotn that.It was very far from his purpose to bring ou,t anything in the House which would affect the usefulness\u2019 of bfrp who was perhaps forever removed from the political arena, and vho was not present to defend himself.The object of the motion was to strike at the root of the great evil But when it came properly before the House it would then be time enough for him to state the grounds on which he sought the support of the House for his motion.He would ask that the motion be allowed to stand until Mbftday, [>ut if that were refused, he would renew the motion fop Monday.It was founded upon facts that were patent to t^e country, and he felt that he ought to persevere in pressing ii to an early discussion.Hon.Mr.DORION said if the facts were patent to the couniry the hon.gentleman ought to move hip Resolution at once.If he had not evidence at hàpd su^ejent to go on with it he ought never to have put it upop p^pte- H?was waiting for tesiimony to be procured from the Goye?nmant by another member, which testimony it was patent to the House and to the country that he never thought of when framing his motion.The member for Montmorency had correctly stated tbaj; (t Vfka the privilege of the Government to have such uoiioSil proceeded with or dropped at once when they were reàpbpd.But he would make another proposition fo the hob.pmher for West Northumberland, and that was, that tjpë notice be dropped and renewed for the following day (Thursday).The papers to be moved for would then ho before the House, and there would, therefore, be no ground?for any further delay.Hon, Mr.ROSE oa[d tee bon mepîber fqr West Northumberland was perfectly right in to-fusing to proceed until the facts wers Before fb® House.If, in addition to the facts that are patent to the whole country, the papers to be brought down would show that Judge Bruneau was on leave of absence, and further leave was peremptorily refused him ; or if the fact could be established, as he was led to believe it could, that course.(Oppositien cheers.) Hou.Mr.BROWN said he would like to say one word about the motion\u2019s being aimed only at the Government.It was very evident from its wording that it was aimed at the hon gentleman who had accepted, as well as at the hon gentlemen who made the appointment.He then read the resolution, and said there were plainly two parties concerned\u2014the one that offered and the one that accepted.Mr.COCKBURN said it was true there were two parties, as there_ were to most transactions, but one might be an innocent party and the other a guilty party.Hon.Mr.HOLTON referred to the anomolus position in which the hon member for West Northumberland stood before the House.He had given notice of a motion of such a grave character that it amounted to a motion of want of confidence in the Government and when the notice was reached, what did 'his great luminary of the law do ?I Great uproafîm the Opposition seats.) What did the gentleman whose political reputation had been made for him by gentlemen on the Ministerial side of the House do, when called upon to proceed with the motion which he had deliberately kept suspended for days, over the heads of the Ministry ?Why, lawyer as he was, he had had to beg to be excused from proceeding untill another member of the House should get the proof of his case, as he hoped it would turn out to be from the Government, He ought to have looked out for his evidence before he preferred the charge.[Great uproar and interruption.) When he attempted to strike a heavy blow at the men who had made him a public man, he ought to have first considered well the ground he stood upon.(Applause.) Hoa.Mr.CARTIER said that in theatrical performances, when an actor performed his part well, it was customary to give him an encore.(Laughter ) As the hon gentleman had acquitted himself most nobly he had much pleasure in according him his due.(Thumping of desks on the Opposition side and great uproar.] Mr.SCOBLE sternly depiecated^he disgraceful scene which hae just taken piace Mr.COCKBURN said the Finance Minister was unfortunate in the way in which he addressed the House.He dib not speak to the question bat invariably raised a personal issue.When the Finance Minister rose in his place to give the weight of his authority on a question of this kind \u2014a question which, though now dropped, it was his (Mr Cockburn\u2019s) purpose to renew\u2014he ought not to speak beside it, and raise insteac a persanal issue.The SPEAKER\u2014Does the hon gentleman consent to drop the motion.Mr.COCKBURN\u2014I do consent to drop it.RESIGNATION OF MR.JUSTICE BRUNEAU.Mr.DUFRESNE (of Montcalm) then moved an address for copies of all correspondence between the Government and the Hon Mr.Justice Bruneau :\u20141st.In relation to the leave of absence obtained by the latter during last year.2nd.la relation to the notice given to the Government by the said Hon.Judge, that hs (the said Hon.Judge) would hold the sittings of the Court during the next term in the several districts and counties in which he was in the habit of so noing, before obtaining his leave of absence.3rd.In relation to the arrangements made between the Government and the said Hon Judge Bruneau, and which have resulted in the resignation by him of his judgeship.Hon.Mr.DORION\u2014The papers will be brought down to-morrow.Tho motion was then agreed to.REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF EMIGRATION.Hon.Mr.McGEE moved an Address for the Report of the Chief Superintendent of Emigration, on his official visit to England, during the present year, with all other despatches, reports, or papers, of this year\u2019s date, relating to the same subject -Carried.ACC IÜNTS FYLED BY MR.J.B.E.DORION.Mr.DUFRESNE [of Montcalm] moved for a copy i>f all accounts fyled at the various public departments of this Province, either by J.B.E.Dorion, or his wife, o- by any other proprietor or co-proprietor of the newspaper Le Défricheur, for Government notices inserted in the said newspaper, since its establishment, or for any other services rendered or work done by the proprietor or co-proprietor of the said newspaper, and the amount or various amounts paid up to this date.Hon.Mr.BROWN asked the hon.gentleman to explain the object of thp motion.Mr.DUFRESNE said fie wqs fold that the paper in question had contained an official advertisement relating to the Welland Canal.Hon.Mr.BROWN said tnat some little respect ought to be paid to their fellow members, and if the insertion of an advertisement in the Défricheur relating to tho Welland Canal was [he only thing contemplatod by the motion, he thought it might he dropped.(Hear, hear.; Mc, J.DUFRKSNK sajd the Order of the Day was retrenchment, aqd b® foought th^t the policy of the Government in this respect should be fully carried out.He had been informed that great charges had been made by the proprietors of the newspaper in question, and he wanted to ascertain if such was the case.Hon.Mr.BROWN did not think the hon.gen tleman had improved his position in the slightest degree by the explanation made.He simply said he had heard a report of an improper charge having been made, and on this bare rumor he impeached a member of the House and, dragged a lady\u2019s name into the case as well.(Hear, hear.) Hon.Mr.McGEE entirely agreed with the hoç.member for South Oxford.The House appeared to to be falling lower and lower every day.(Hear, ' hstwr.) To make insinuations of this kind on the strength\u201d of a mere rumor, ought to be strongly deprecated.(Hear, hear.) He must, however, !n fairness say that the fault did not lie only on the other side of the House, it applied equal y to btth sides.If they did not protect and vindicate their own charac-|eift no one else would do so.In the interest of the reputation of the House he hoped the motion would be withdpajte;' Mr.POWELL said there waa nothing more striking than for the hon.member for South Oxford to rise and appeal to the sen^e of the delicacy of the House.If the facts alleged were correct, the matter ought to be held up to public reprobation.Was the hon.member for South Of ford so sensitive when the hon.member for Lnmbiçn mov.e^ for a return for the purpose of making ont n cçië i$ regard to a lot of land in [nnisfil, against foe hen.umfober ïof Sopth Simcoe ?Hon.Mr.BROWN said that he had never moved in any such case unless he was prepared to state the facts to the House.But the hon.member for Montcalm simply saip that he took bjp action on mere memory, and on no better fouüdâîùon tj-an a rumor he not only attacked a member of Vhe'House, but dranged into the question the name of a lady.(He^r, beay) Mr.FERGUSON (South Simcos) went into a saatement with regard to the lot of land in Innisfil, which he said was simply a lot of swanjp land ; and the motion of the hon mera-ber for ftajxfotfifi had been made at the instigation of soiüèhody\"fceHti[à the scenes to injure his (Mr.Eerguson\u2019s) Cbarac't'er','' Hon.Mr, MoDOUGALL denied all knowledge of the motion until it was placed On the paper.\u2019 Mr.ÇJSjpS supported the motion briefly.Mr.McKENZlE (of j^bt.on) said in reference to the motion felating to toe !#s»5p' f?r .South Simcoe, he moved that at the request one of the hon member\u2019s constituents, and without any consultation with any member of foe House.flP admitted that perhaps it would haye been better to liave used Mr.Ferguson\u2019s name.As to adyerQsejnentg pjj][lished in Lower Canada about the Welland Canal, he instanced cases in which long advertisements about some barns burnt in Lower Canada had appeared, by order of the Cartier-Macdonald Government, in obscure little papers even west of Hamilton.Hon.Mr.FOLEY hoped the hon member would see the propriety of withdrawing the ptotion, after so much time had been spent for nofoing.rphe fagts pould jityve [jeen obtained in a tew minutes at the Qepartment t'f) which it referred.Mr.DUFRESNE said it was not he who had wasted the time of the House.He had not said anything in moving his motion.He was driven to speak, however, by the hon member for South Oxford.He was for retrenchment in good faith; not for retrenching in the way of turning public employees oftt upon the pablic street?1 qmry would be necessary.What her desired was to see if the Défricheur had been making undue demands on the exchequer.He Was willing to amend the motion by leaving out the allusion to the lady ; bat he intended to p ress it in seme shape or other.Hon.Mr.GAUCHON said it was easy of proof that \u201cawful charges\u201d had been made by the Government printers at this moment.He advised that the motion should be withdrawal, or he made more general, eo as to include all charges for printing and advertising since a certain date.Mr.SIMPSON said that this was a very trumpery subject to engage so much attention.The Committee of Public Accounts was.the proper tribunal for enquiries into matters of this kind.(Hear, hear.) Mr.MACKENZIE (of Lambton) moved in amendment that the return should include all accounts sent in by, and all motions paid to the proprietors of.the Colonisateur newspaper\u2014a paper which, he said, under the late Government, was in the practice of publishin\" the most extensive advertisements relating to all possible subjects, and of getting paid, extravagantly high prices therefor.He knew ihat the comparison would be greatly in favor of the present Government, who had nothing to fear, but everything to gain, by investigations into matters concerning the public expenditures.(Hear, hear.) \u2022 ^0![* ^r' ^-^^DEION contended that the motion should be more general.The hon.gentleman was still speaking at six o\u2019clock, when the Speaker left the Chair.FIRST READINGS.After the recess.Several Bills from the Legislative Council were read a first time.PUBLIC BUILDINGS AT OTTAWA.The next order on the paper was the further consideration ot Hon.Mr.Brown\u2019s motion for a Committee of Enquiry on the subject of the Ottawa Buildings, and of Mr Morris\u2019 amendment thereto for un Address for capies of all reports ot any officers of the Public Works Department made during the present working season, and other evidence in the possession of the Government relating to the time within which the Parliamentary and Departmental Buildings at OttaAa can be completed.Mr.DUMKIN said the Government had announced on this subject a distinct and unmis-takaole policy, viz, to carry out the Queen\u2019s decision, to go from Quebec to Ottawa whethej they could move quickly or not.This he understood to be their policy inde.pendent of all considerations, and he (Mr Dunkin) believed that with ordinary diligence the buildings could be sufficiently ready to receive the Government for the session of 1865.He had no doubt that the hon member for South Oxford meant something by his motion, and it was precisely because he (Mr Dunkin) believed that hon member had a particular object that he opposed him.That hon member meant, in all probability, to show that by the granting of this Committee the House was not satisfied with the assurances of the Government, and if the motion carried it would be a practicable reopening of the whole question.Hon.Mr.BROWN said the enquiry proposed to be instituted was simply one to ascertain the present state of the buildings, the principle length of timo required to complete them, and the amount of money necessary for that purpose.The hon member for Brome (Mr.Dunkin) was quite willing to have the papers, but strange enough, refused the enquiry.In a few days the House would he asked to vote a large sum of money to be expended on the works, and in viewing that he thought it desirable that they should be placed in possession ot the fullest information.Mr- DUNKIN said that numerous items were included in the estimates, and did the hou gen-tleman mean to argue that there should be a Committee of Enpuiry in respect to each item ?Hon.Mr.BROWN said that all the Finance Minister won d propose was thata sum of money should be appropriated such as the Government considered 10 be necessary for the years\u2019s operation.He would not go beyond that.But he (Mr Brown) thought that the House should go further, and ascertain as nearly as possible how much ii would require to complete them.The House were shortly about lo rise, not to meet against before the beginning of next year, and they wanted to know before leaving how the matter of the Seat of Government really stood.Toe hon gentleman desired to obtain a certain amount of information\u2014why not obtain the full amount of information ?All they could hope to obtain from the Govornment was the official report of their own engineer.If, however, n committee were appointed, ihe testimony of the contractors and other witnesses would be elicited ; and if it were found that a large sum of money was required to complete the Buildings, and such an amount as the House were not prepared at once to vote, itwould be then for the House to judge of the proper course to be pursued.Hon.Mr, CARLING\u2014Did I not understand the |ion.geptlepjan fo ?ay that the Government were determined to rfetpain in Quebec until the buildings at Ottawa are completed^ and that then they would remove to Ottawa.Did I not understand him to say that.Hon.J.S.MACDONALD\u2014I cannot be held responsible for what the hon.gentleman understood.But it was clearly understood on this side that the policy of the Government was, when they reipoyed from Quebec, to go to Otr tawa.(Hear, heftr.) 1 think that wag clear enough.Hon.Mr.CARLING said the member for Sonth Oxford was moving for a Committee io find ont whether the buildings can be completed tor 1865, but the Government had declared that they would be ready at that time, and he (Mr.Carling) thought the hon.member for South Oxford ought to accept their declaration.Hon.Mr.BRuWN\u2014I have not so much confidence in them as you have on this subject.Mr.SIMPSON said for his part he wai surprised at the position taken by members from his side (the Opposition) of the House on this question.If it were quite certain that the buildings could be completed for 1835, then it would be wrong to remove, but if it were made apparent that,vthèy -would not be [nished for two years to come, those two years should be spent in Toronto, which had a right to it, and it was a small matter to Ottawa where those two years were spent.Mr.PERRiUL i said the motion of the member for South Oxford, if carried, would reopen the whole question and again place tho Lower Canadians at a disadvantage.He was most depidedlv opposed to guph a ppoceeftittg, and would vote aêa\u2019insf thé motiom' Mr.ROSS (Dundas) said he was very much surprised at the course taken on this question by the hon.member for South Oxford after the manner in which he had advocated remaining in Toronto until the Ottawa Buildiugs were ready.When tne Minister of Finance came down with his statement, shewing such a sad sthté'of things jg his department, necessitating the 'imposition of iasfes,1 he'1 tb'ffogbvlrwottid furnish a strong argument against incurring any expense for an extra removal.He had no confidence in the gentlemen opposite, but he had every confience in the statement that the buildings would be ready for the session of 1865.Mr.MACDONALD (Toronto), viewed the op- on the 20th of December 1857, not a single j day\u2019s work work was done upon the buildings until the month ef May, 1860.The works then progressed until the beginning of November, in that year.Not another day\u2019s work was done upon them from that time until May of the present year.Mr.A.MACKENZIE\u2014Were not the stonecutters at work during 1861 ?Mr.BELL said probably they were.It was very important to have the stone ready for puling- in its place early in the spring, and men were kept at work during the winter of 1860-61 but during the winter of 1862 and 1863 there was not not rne toot of stone prepared, for the Government would not allow the work to proceed.Therefore, it would be seen, that the works had bekn in progress only about twelve months, and he was fully satisfied that another twelve months would complete them.As to the coot of the removal, he was more than astonished to hear the hon member for South Oxford say that the last removal cost but $200,000.He must have known better.From the Blue Books it appeared that independent of the advan-ees made in the shape of extra pay to the employes, the cost ef freight and other contingencies, the cost of removing from Toronto to Quebec w.as $216,000.Hon.Mr.BROWN said the hon gentleman was entirely mistaken, as he could show him by a reference to the figures.Mr.BELL said he quoted from the Blue Books which could not possibly be mistaken.Bat, to return to the subject.On the 31st of August his hon friend (Mr.Currier) brought forward his amen'dment to the 16th paragraph of the Address, hut on the solemn declaration then given in good faith, the amendment was withdrawn.He (Mr.Beell) advised him to do so, having confidence that the Government\u2014 although be was politically opposed to them\u2014 would redeem their promise.It had been asked that the papers should be brought down ; and he thought it would be far more respectful to the House and to the Ministry, and far more in accordance with the common sense view of the things, that the House should have the evidence before them, whereby to determin whether the conclusion the Government had come to was a correct.oné or not.(Hear, hear.) Hon.Mr.BROWN hoped to be allowed to say a single word.Ii was most extraordinary that the hon gentleman (Mr.Bill,) who professed to lead the House on this question, should make statements of so much importance without a knowledge of the facts, and that the hon member for Dundas (Mr.J S Ross) should first read the House a lecture on economy and then assert that the expense of removing from Toronto to Quebec was from $600,000 to $800,000.What were the facts ?He (the Hon.Mr.B own) held in his hand the statement prepared by honorable gentlemen opposite from which it was evident that the expense of the removal from Toronto was in 1859, $104,294 ; and in 1860, $5,978.That was the whole expense for the two years, made up by the late Finance Minister ).Vlr.Galt) and certified by him.And of the $104,000, the sum of $30,000 was for freight, and $70,000 was the compensation paid to the Government officers to meet their expenses.The last item was a large one and would have been greatly reduced had not the officers individually been left to bargain for their own freight.The consequence was that actually quantities of cordwood were brought down and charged in the expenditures.Hon.J.A.MACDONALD said it was a mistake.The cordwood story was one set afloat when they first went to Toronto, and it had not been heard of since.Hon.Mr.BROWN said he had been assured by parties concerned that if the Government bad conducted the whole removal, it might have been effected for one-half the cost actually incurred.Mr.A.MACKENZIE said it must also be remembered that the $104,000 comprised loans made to certain officers to assist them in removing, and that seme of the money was afterwards repaid.Mr.DICKSON said that last session he had presented a petition from the Council of Huron and Bruce, consisting of fifty members, in which the terms of the alternating system were stated, and praying that the Government should be removed to Toronto after the time at Quebec was expired.The Commissioner appointed to inquire into the state of the buildings had reported that it would require $1,273,000 io complete them, and Mr.Keefer himself had estimated the cost at $1,079,000.Now he contended that the country could not afford to spend such a sum before 1865, and that, therefore, it was reasonable to move to Toronto.Mr.BELL (Russell) said the Commission had stated that the buildings could be made habitable for $600,000.and of that sum $500,-000 had been voted last session.Hon.J.A.MACDONALD said the hon member for South Oxford had stated while the Government was in Toronto, that the removal to Quebec, then in prospect, would cost some $600,000 or $800,000, add had not only said so, but had himseif written it in his own newspaper, Mr.BOWELQ here read from the Globe an extract to the effect stated by the Hon.Mr.Macdonald.Hon.Mr.BROWN said he had never heard the words before, and the statement was based upon the cost of the previous reppoyal from Qutbpc to Toronto, but the removal itself, when it was rpade, had cost muph less.Hon A.^lACDONiVED sai(l that the amount in foe Q.Oibe was djstiçtly stqtçd to be for the, removal only, hut things had çhanged Since then; When the hon member was advocating remaining in Toronto, he did not believe in the alternating system, and it was considered a most monstrous absurdity.Why 1 to leave such a delightful place as Toronto and Quebec, that bleak, cold place, with the chance besides of being convertud to Roman Catholicism ! the thing was not to be endured.It was no doubt due to himself that the hon member should mahe the motion, but that was no reason why the House should consent.The hon member ( J.A.Macdonald) here narrated the alleged influence exerted by the Premier in To ronto in the elections in copnejtiop\u2018with the subject oj foe removal thitlief.Now there was no doubt that the candieates themselves were sincere, and believed that what they were saying on their tickets was true.Here Mr.Macdonald read the ticket issued by Mr.Macdonald, member for Toronto.) If they did not they misled the people and got their votes under false pretences, but this he dif^qnt believe.No doubt they tried haw} to get specific déclara-rations from' the Premier, but be knew too milcll to\u2018 nlkke'them.Hbwever, they did be-lieVe what\u2019was staled by the Globe, and were elected, and now they were supporting the Government, hut they were not for all that going to have the seat of Governm.ntin their city.The member for Souih Oxford had said when he heard the policy of the Government on the NUMBER 217 public opinion of Upper Canada was of a heal\" thier tone than that of Lower Canada.The gentlemen from the Ottawa District should no t so violently oppose this Committee for their action suggested that their was something to cover.The hon.member for Kingston was the last man in Canada that ought to make invidious remarks about changes of policy.All the Western members of the Opposition that he had heard address the people of the country, during the late election, had repudiated the leadership of tbe hon member for Kingston, and they based their repudiation on the ground of that gentleman\u2019s having changed his policy so often that nobody could state what it was.Hon.J.H.CAMERuN said the hon member for Lambton had just stated ihat the policy of the Government whs well known before the election.He thought that if had been understood in Toronto that the policy of the Government was to give that city the go-by, and proceed directly from Quebec to Ottawa, the two members from Toronto now in their seats would have been left at home.He would like to know what the Government intended to do\u2014whether they were opposed to the appointment of the committee or not.Hon.J.S.MACDONALD\u2014The Government will support the appointment of a committee.Hon.Mr.CAMEEON said he was very glad to hear it.He intended to vote for it himself, and was.extremely glad that he should have the privilege ofvoting with the Government on one question.H thought it would be much better to take plenty o\u201c time and make a good job of the buildings, than t harry them through, and then be obliged to expend a large sum in correcting errorrs committed through too much haste.He did not understand why the committee should be refused, as tt was one simply of enquiry.A vast number of people in Upper Canada looked upon the appointment of the committee and the information it would collect, as of very great interest to them, and it would be a pity if the information was denied them.He was satisfied that the gentlemen from Central Canada would make a great mistake if they refused the commitiee.If the result of the inquiry was to show that the buildings would be ready at the time stated, that statement would render contented a very large number of people who would feel very deeply aggrieved if ali information were devised then He thought it would have been far better for the Government to have carried out in good faith thetintimation conveyed to the hon.member for South Oxford, and to the Hun.Postmaster General, by the Premier, during the Toronto election, viz.: - That the perambulating system would be continued for the benefit of Toronto, if the buildings could not be completed in time for the session of 1065.(Hear, hear.) He was sure those hon.gentlemen were very plainly given to understand that .he question was an open one, and that if the Government were supported, the chance for Toronto was most sxcellent.Believing as he did that the people of the West wedld be greatly dissatisfied if they were denied information, he would support the appointment of the committee, and vote against ihe amendment of the hon.member for South Lanark.Mr.Janes said he could hardly mak® up his mind to vote for the amendment, without also voting for the original motion.It, appeared to him that in asking for the papers they would be expressing as much of a censure or want of confidence in the Government as would be the case in supporting ihe appointment of a Committee.He thought if the opiniohs of the Western members were influenced for the better, by remaining in Quebec, it was eqceedingly desirable to remain here.Hon.Mr.BROWN said it was most unfair to get up in the House and read scraps from the Globe for no one knew how many years past and allege that they were his words.He fre-qnently did not know what those extracts were, or by whom they were written.He knew nothing wholever, for instance, of what the hon member for Kingston had read to-night, and most unfairly read and presented to the House.The Question was then put on Mr.Morris\u2019 amendment, which was agreed to on the following division ;\u2014Yeas 58 ; nays 52.The tUEAKER declared the amendment carried.(Slight Opposition cheering.The House then adjourned at twenty minutes past eleven.Grand Tmnk Railway of Canada- THE POSTAL QUESTION.Montrbal, 7th September, 1863.The debate which took place on the 24th August, in the House of Assembly, with reference to the payment to the Grand Trunk Company for Postal Servic-s, was closed by a discussion between Mr.Shanly and thç kîmisiry, which, from the answers giyep by the latter, placed the matter tjefoye the public in a manner entire!^ opposite to the real facts of the case.In reply to Mr.Shanly, the Government stated that the $150 a mile agreed upon before the break up of the Mucdon&ld-Sicotte Calqiuet, was to include the side seryice\u2014thp charge for special trains in connection with the Ocean Steamers\u2014and the payment of the travelling Post Office Clerks employed on the Railway trains.The value of these three extra service's is estimated at about $51 a m ly, a,u [ Mr.Shan ly thereupon expressed qg opinion, which has been subsequently strongly urged by portions of the Press, that if those extra services were not included in the $100 a mile lately fixed, that rate was as advantageous as the previous oiler of $150 a mile, which was to inolude those extra services, Of course no opportunity exist\u2019d during (he debate of correcting misstatements, and when tber.port appeared in the newspapers, it was supposed that the Ministry would desire the whole question to be investigated before a Corn; mittee of the House, when full explanations could be given, and misstat?me£va °f fact3 cor\" reeled.[t agpewa now, however, that delay will take place in the appointment of a Commitiee, and it is therefore impossible to lose any further time in correcting statements, which if sù» lowed to be longer uncontradicted will prejudge the merits of the case and ^}ow of the main and important questmn, -,o be got rid of by a side issue,\tthe necessity of this document [a order to place the question pro-perly\u2018and fairly before Parliament and the public.The real fact is that the rqjç of $150 a mile offered before the disspiutiqn was not intended to include all tbe thi;ee extra services mentioned in the replies of Ministers to Mr.Shanly\u2019s questions.It was to include simply the services mentioned in Mr.Moffett's pieliminary statement when [o acted çp arbitrator.Those services \\ypnj\u2014thç çarryi,ng of the mails in the offor the sum of $ CO a mile, That Order reaily is as follows : To allow !$60 a mile for \u201ccm daily mail \u201cservice each way between To -otto and Quebec, \u201c,by the Company\u2019s ordineiy Exjfejs Passenger \u201c uains, running continuously and wiihout any \u201c break of connection at any in\u2019ermediate \u201c point,\u201d And also the same rale for mails carried upon one ordinary Express Passenger train on the other portions of the line in Canada.It will thus be seen that, although the Government has been assured that through trains to Quebec from places beyond Montreal, do not carry an average of more than three and a half passengers per trip, and are therefore worked at a loss, payment will be made only at tho rate ot $60 a mile, even on the condition that the trains are run at such hours for tbe Post Office accommodation, as the Company\u2019s traffic does not require, and as cannot be run, except by involving the Company in a daily ea-h loss.The Order in Council then goes on, after i! us imposing ruinons conditions for the insufficient payment of $60 a mile, to say that.\u2014 \u201cIn case the Company runs a second-pas7-\u201c enger train (express, accommodation, or \u201c mixed) between Sarnia and Quebec, between \u201cLondon and St.Mary's, or between Richmond \u201cand the Boundary lii e, there be allowed to \u201c the said Company $40 per mile cf P.ailway \u201c per annum, for each mile ef Railway covered \u201c by such daily train for tbe like use of the \u201c same.\u201d It may be asked why, if $60 a mile, in the opinion of the Government, is a fair payment for one express train, only $40 should be offered for a second train, especially as for the larger payment a cont nuous service is demanded for the distance between Toionto and Qu-bec only; whilst, in orSer to secure tbe smaller sum, that continuous service, at a greater co.-t to the Company, is inquired from Quebec to Sarnia a further distance of nearly 200 miles?It must also be remarked that upon 120 miles of the Railway, viz.: between Quebec and Riviere du Loup, no more than $60 a mile will be paid under any circumstances, although it is notorious that that part of the Grand Trunk Railway is worked at a positive loss, and were it not for the sake of the mails, tbe line ought, on commercial grounds, to be closed during winter.It will thus be seen that the Government do not propose, as they have given the public to understand, to, pay $L00 a mile, but in reality-only $60, under the most onerous jind cosily* 'conditions ; and that before paying ft further sum of $40 a mile, upon only a portion of ihe line, be it renumbered, they required tbe Company annually to run upwards of 200,000 milis of uains more than was suggested by their arbitrator Mr.Moffatt, and clogged by coniiitions which they well linow the Company could not., except at an enormous and ruinous outlay, especially during winter, comply with.Under no circumstances then do the Government propose to pay the Csmpany $K0 per mile of Railway, even if the onerous conditions contained in the O der in Council of the 12th August, 1863, could in all respects be complied with, and as on portions of the line during Winter only one train a day is used, ii follows that the payment annually would average very much less than $100 a mile.These facts, which can be verified under oath if necessary, utterly dispel the statement that the Government are ready to pay $100 a mile on the 866 miles of Railway in Canada, or that such a rate is quite as good as the $150 a mile offered before the elections.In concluding this correction of misslate-ments made by ihe Ministry in Parliament, and by their organs in the Press, it may be as well In state, in order to show the extrepne illiber-alily of the last proposal of the Government, that the rate paid by the United States Post Office Department for carrying one local mail each way daily on the Grand Trunk Railway between Boundary Line and Portland exceeds $110 a mile, and that on the Passumpsic line, in Vermont, and which Railway comes cloee up to the Canada line, $100 a mile Is paid for one daily service each way carried on a local train, travelling at a slow rate of speed and running only during the day.Tbis is compared with the offer of the C median Government to pay $-10 a mile for a train running at Express speed, and continuously along upwards of 500 miles of railway, and thus compelled for part of the distance to run, at increased cos', during tho night, at hours not required by the Company\u2019s ordinary traffic.It would have been far better to have had all these, as well as other important facts, laid before the public, by evidence given under oath, butas the appointment of ihe only tribunal which conid accomplish this does nett appear to be desired by the Government, no course is left to the Company but, without further delay, to correct misstatements which were made in 'Parliament under ciroumstances proven tin a- tho possibility of proving them incorrect at tbe moment they were made, C.J.BRYDGE3, Managing Ôir ector BDSINESS NOTICES\u2019 Down\u2019s Vegetable Balsamic Btbc\u2019r lias been before the public lor thirty years, Uftct has never been known to fail, bee advertisement iri another column and read the pamphlet ^oçompanyin^ the bottle, t enrv's Vermont Liniment, the new Pain-Kilier, nits like magic m removing pain, both oxtf vnally an 1 internally, A large bottle for 25 cents.Try it.!

$200,000.Mr.Carling felt that the Government was not doing what the mother country had a right to expect at our hands.They did not propose to organize a sufficient force for the defence of the country.He referred to tl e disappointment felt in England at the loss of the Militia bill of the Cartier JMcifouald Ministry.He cited Lord Palmerston\u2019s speech on the occasion to shew that the hopes for the future were then formed.The present proposal of Ministers was such as was likely grieveouely to disappoint those expectations.Mr.Cartwright argued that, from the confession of the leaders on both sides cf the House, the Volunteer Force was not sufficient for the effective defence of the country.Was there a\tneed of\teffective\tprovision, to men who could not or would not see the tone and temper of the people of the neighboring republic, who thought them un-aggressive and inclined not to meddle with us otherwise than as customers for our produces ?He had no argument to offer, but ministers must recognize the danger and the necessity of pro-' Y\u2019.diug against it,, or wherefore these bills.If, then, the Volunteer force was not sufficient, how would this organization of the Militia supplement them.He believed that no sufficient pro-wiakm was made for making militia men effec-SHye.The present plan of drilling men for 6 or S\u20182 days per annum was utterly insufficient.No other kit d of education could be obtained that way.Why should they expect a military education.He believed the only possible way was 4o embody young men for 6 months at a time.The lessons thus learnt in continuous drill would tnever be lost, but if the Government had no excuse\u2019 to offer to the demands of the mother' country, it were better to say at once that we would not undertake to defend our flag and make arrangements to sever the connection.Me should either show our bravery and willingness M make sacrifices for defence, or show our discretion in not wasting money and time in such futile attempts at doing something as now proposed.We Jjawe, as Premier Colony of the Empire, either to build up at Confederate Empire, or set the example of com-mencing its dissolution.He believed that not less than 50,000 drilled men thoald be always Ikept on foot.Begin this year with 20,000, 20,000 next year, and after that 10,000 per annum.If resources were not sufficient we could get a loan from the British Government, at a low jate, to set it a going.^fr.McGivern protested against the enormous expense of such a scheme as Mr.Cartwrights.The necessary taxation would breed a rebellion ill the country.He commended the Volunteer FoH'e, and thought it could be made efficient.Mr.Bellerose argued that, to have thorough efficiency, we must have two or three thousand men regularly embodied, living in barracks.In fact, regular soldiers as a nucfetiia for the Militia.The Volunteers and ordinary Militia Jjjtd too many domestic ties to be thorough soldiers.They never could be made to do the work of thorough?ly tried soldiers living apart in barracks or in camp, Mr.Blanchet also spoke in high terms of the Volunteers, especially the Brigade Majors, for the good work they had been doing.Mr.Perrault also thought the country would depend upon, ns volunteers.They were the best fighting material.They showed their love for the profession by coming forward without .conscription or compulsion.Mr.Rose thought the House mnst receive tin der at home.These and others could be directed against us.We either meant to defend ourselves or deliberately to Americanize ourselves.There was no other alternative, and it became us to decide now which course to take.Mr.Buchanan urged that the volunteers ought not to be separated from the militia, but recognized as a part of the quota of the militia called out for drill.Taking the force at 240,000 men \u2014a fourth, or nearly that proportion, might be drilled year by year.The volunteer force not subjected to the militia regulations for formation in battalions and brigades, were a mere rope of sand.He believed a tax of one-eighth nr.ct.on the rateable property of the country would give a million dollars per annum, which would meet accessary expenses.That would be only one dollar and a quarter per head on each rate-payer assessed at a thousand dollars or more.He thought the Ministerial proposition a bad one.Mr Demers, Mr.Langevin, and others, stated that they would vote for the prineiple of the bill, reserving the right to oppose its details.The former wanted to see the democrats, who had declared no large militia force was wanted, and that England could and should pay for all, show how they had changed their views and becomo aristocratic, and a friend of the militia.Mr.Price thought the rejection of the Cartier-Macdonald bill on the second reading a disgrace to Canada, which had been productive of infinite mischief to us abroad.He should vote for the bill now, but against it later, unless remunerative to Volunteers.The bill was then read a second time, all voting for it, on the names being recorded\u2014except Messrs.Bellerose, Brousseau, Beaubien, Pinson-neault, Lajoie, Cauchon and Gaudet.Volunteer bill was then read a second time, the same members voting against it, together with Messrs.Cbapais, De Boucherville, Cornel-lier,

GENERAL PRESS DESPATCHES, New York, Sept.11.\u2014The Herald\u2019s special Washington desgatch, dated the 10th, says : \u2014 No arrangement in regard to the exchange of prisoners has as yet been made, and negotiations are still going on.If the statement recently made is true, that President Lincoin had stated that the including of negro troops and their white officers, captured by the rebels, would not be insisted on as a condition of an exchange the principal difficulty will be removed, and it is probable that a cartel may soon be agreed upon.(From the Richmond Despatch, Kept.8 ) It was rumoured yesterday that a despatch had been received by Gen.Cooper, announcing the withdrawal of the troops from Wagner and Sumter.We think this highly probable, as a gentleman wbo left Charleston on Friday, says the enemy were at that time within seventy-five yards of Fort Wagner, and Sumter is entirely in ruins.The same gentleman says that the Yankee troops have not commenced, nor will they commence till they get into the harbor.The opinion at Charleston was thaj; Sumter and Wagner would be taken, but that Charleston would hot.Our informant ejpregses the opinion that the iron clads would never get out of the harbour if they once got in.Special to the Tribune.It is believed by military men, whose means of information are of the best description, that Gen Leg has within the last few days received heavy reinforcements, and that he meditates another aggressive càjnpajgy, The tat'ng of Gumjniwgs\u2019 Point batteries brings Gilmore\u2019s long range Parrott gens one and ons-eigth of a mile near the city ot Charleston than they tvere when the 12 gieek lire shells were thrown into ihv city.New York, Sept.ll.-'-A tetter from Norfolk professes to give the details ,ot a plan srhich the rebels have on foot for the recapture of that city.It says that the expedition against thé city is to be committed tq Gen.Longstreet and several gentlemen of lesser light who are well acquainted with the topography of the .country.The forces are to be divided and advanced t'fom those different points A large body of troops will be massed at Suffolk to make a feint and , draw our troops there, while the attack is being upon the city by another body advancing ' thrp.u^ Princess Ann County with a strong reserved A Jjjifd party is to appear in the vicinity of Sewell's po\u2019n,t jybile all this is going on to attract the troops stationed o\u2019 the city.San Francisco, Sept.10.\u2014Advices ' fropj Sça LuisPotose and Mexico to the 281 h August, furnish us with the following highly important | news.:-irtpyj,dent Juarez and his Cabinet have been urged by ietding Mexicans and representatives of the South j.tfierlcç;i jiecçb'ics to form a continental alliance, embracing tile Republics of Chili, Peru and doJnmbia.Tjie Argentiye confederation of San Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Nic2ragua> Guatamala and Mexico, are for the purpose of resisting European encroachment on Mesieo gr any other South American repub- lic.Thé United States are to b0 delegates to co-oparate in the movemeaf.jyrited to seiii Sü'easu -es of Government and make the best of them'\"iea\\'iug Ministers to bear the responsibility if they faithHe#proceeded to discuss some of the details in reBPect of regimental divisions and schools of inx'ructiou\u2019 ï.110 Volunteer spirit deserved to be fosj'erei(^i a3 ^ was ^ea_ yen which was leavening Ti.e whole lump and spreading the military spirit thr'CugboUt the country.Its influences would do more fijftS anything else to make the rest of the militia effective.Men of peoperty should be ready jo pay those who fitted themselves to defend their property.The young men who turned out for drill ought not to be called on to make all the sacrifiées either by pay or scrip for land.The Volunteers ought to receive encouragement.The people, he believed, were able and willing io pay ti?e necessary cost; and if we showed \u2022ourselves thoroughly in earnest, no aid which the mother country' could offer us would be lacking.Mr.Cameron ep,^0 at some length, urging the necessity of a more yffioent force than the two bills provided to defend J,110 country.Mr.McGEfi thought mud' \u201c°f0 should be cone.A much larger expeJ\u2019^*lU1\u20190 would be well laid out if an effective system were procured.It was proposed to spend too much, unless an trfc£l!Ye system were to be obtained.If there were ;auy men who believed that there was no real need .of a militia force, they owed it to themselves, their constituents, and their country to say so, and oppose the proposed waste of money.If they believed this movement to be the result \u2022 merely of cl .mour aad a cry, they ought to resist it, and no man in power ought to pretend to grant this ajbüsure merely to humbug the country without ¦having nf heart the carrying out of the proposed policy into effect.A continental crisis was now arpon us, Not confined to the United States only, but reach'd to Canada as well.We were .eutering on the cares of nationality, and must set to work id fihi!d UP a national spirit.There were.eiteciMs pf danger threatened us.There was a fahfttie MM among the people of the United Steles in tfiely own institu-itions, and .au eagerness to Dud a cypsg# ip feir | (favor.Another was a biî,tqr spirit ,in jP.wnft» | New England against the institution;;

eminent should be laid before Parliament, as the ; basislonjwhich to form an opinion, was carried by j a bare majority of four, and we hope, rather 1 than expect, that this step will facilitate the ob- ; ject that the great mass of the people desire, the settlement at once and for ever of one cf the most thorny subjects that has agitated Parlia- : ment for many years.In making these remarks we would not be j understood as in any way sympathizing with the j sectional feelings that have been manifested dur- \\ ing the recent discussions, ihe*.have, indeed, been discreditable to the mass of those who participated in them.Scarcely a single reference was made to the interest of the people' generally in the matter.The respective interests of To-ronto, Ottawa, and Quebec in the decision, were expatiated on, but the inconvenience and loss that suitors to the respective departments of Government will sustain by the perambulating system or by removals to unfinished buildings, were barely touched on or dismissed as unworthy of notice.Again, the needlessness of.a temporary removal, and the inevitable.post of it was glossed over and thrown into the shade' for idle dissertations on the claims that this or bbfct section of the country can urge.What right we d:mand, has any particular place over another, that the power of Parliament may not without breach of faith, extinguish?How can the understanding of one Parliament, that a certain system shall be pursued bind another Parliament.Policies of government it is needless to prove, change with every change of administration, or of circumstances, and what excludes the policy on the Seat of Government from similar changes?No one could with truth allege breach of faith w\u2019erc Parliament to-morrow to decide on Gaspe, or any backwood settlement as the permanent Seat of Government ; no vested interest could rightly be set up in bar of such a charge ; no plea of compensation could be properly urged.The whole of the arguments in a contrary sense, and they have formed the staple of debate, have been utterly out of place, and foreign to the purpose.For our part, however, we have always maintained that under the circumstances the wisest course is to carry out the decision of removing to Ottawa, and we shall certainly resist anything like a .return to the perambulating system, now that there is n pros pect of settling down finally.The Grand Trunk and tee Government.\u2014 Mr.Brydges has written a circular on the Grand Trunk Postal Question, which be thinks was placed before the public \u201c in a manner entirely opposite to the real facts of the case\u201d during the debate in the Legislative Assembly on the.24th August, and he takes ibis opportunity of replying to the answers given by the Ministry in thé discussion between the latter and Mr.Shanly, In jnstice to Mr.Brydges we publish his statement, which will be found on our first page, but we cannot look upon it as affecting Mr.Dorian's position in the least.That gentleman, on behalf of the Government, made statements which Mr.Brydges contradicts but Mr.Dorionjs veracity is not to be lightly questioned in this way.His friends as well as many, if not all, of those who are opposed to him politically, remembering his high character, and the many evidences of the integrity of his principles, will still feel that he has spoken what he believed to bo the truth.It is very noticeable also that at the yery outset Mr.Brydges attempts to prejudice the public against the Ministry by insinuating that they were not willing to have the whole question investigated before a committee of the House.And again at the end of his circular he says that,\u2014\u201cli would have beeafar,letter to have \u201c had all these, as well as other important facts laid before the public, by evideace given im-\u2018 tier oath, {jut as the appointment of the \u201conly tribunal which could aecom.Jish this does \u201cnot appear to be desired by the Government, \u201cno course is left epen to ihe Company but, \u201c without further delay, to correct mis-state-\u201c ments which were made in Parliament under ! \u2022 circupistancep preventing the possibility cf proving them incorrect at tuo moment they \u201c were made.\u201d Mere unjust words than these were never penned, and we are greatly astonished that Mr.Brydges should attempt to mislhad the public in such a manner.Had his circular con-tained ucth.hig more thin a statement cf facts, it would have attracted much greyer consideration than it will under cÜ'3fi|nS Circumstances, sir Brydges\u2019 friends in the House took iL'f P^er up for hi)n, and when they asked for a committee oi investigation, what took place outside, of the.House ?Why, those who had assisted in 'circulating the charges against the Ministers chuckled in anticipation of a refusal oo the part of the latter to submit to such an eiaminitiou.And who was the first to attempt to smother the investigation?The public know that it was the ex - Attorney - General West, the prime mover in the matter, who declined to press for the committee, allowing the notice ho had given to he struck off the paper without offering one word in explanation of his extraordinary conduct.The accused Ministers demanded that he should proceed, and he, knowing, all the facts, refused to do so.And now Mr: Brydges wishes the people to.U\u2019iieyc that the Government did not appear to desire the investigation i Owing to the pressure ofadvertismeutsion cur columns, we are compelled to hold over interesting matter prepared for this day\u2019s paper.Washington, Sept.1], The following from Gen.Burnside, concerning the capture of Cumberland Gap, has been received at Headquarters, Cumberland 9th\u2014To H.W.Halleck ; I have telegraphed you our movements up to the occupation of Knoxville by our force.Since then a cavalry force has been sent up the railroad to within a few miles of Bristol, capturing some 3 locomotives and 20 cars.Another force composed of two regiments of infantry and two regiments of cavalry, I brought to this place in person to reinforce Gen.Shackie-ford, who was here with two regiments of cavalry, Col.Decourcey being on tfie Kentucky side with a Brigade, when I started in that di-reetion bgfore leaving Ky.The infantry Brigades marched from Knoxville to this place, 60 miles, in 52 hours.The Garrison here consisting of over two thousand mon and fourteen pieces of artillery,made a unconditional surrender at3 tc-day without a fight.Signed,\tA.E.BURNSIDE, Major-General.Washington, Sept.11\u2014The following telegram his been received via San Francisco September 7 th Th@ legation of the United States Japan Yorukumk, July 24 \u2014Sjr,\u2014On the 26thof June the American steamer Pemorcke was attacked at Limouski 6 miles from here by vessels of the Prince of Nogoti.On the 10th July the Wyom/.ng blew up his steamer, sunk a 19 gun brig, and engaged 6 batteries with a loss of four men killed and seven wounded.A French gunboat was fired into on the 7th July and two Dutch sloops-of-war on the 11th at the Same place.On the 20 th July the French troops destroyed orb of the batteries.Signed, P.H.PRIME, Minister.Washington, Sept.ll-.-The following despatch from Gen.Rosencrans has been received at headquarters ;

and not to Americans as has been stated.Ihe Trouble with Japan.\u2014The New York Journal of Commerce speculates upon, the recent warlike outbreak in Japan, and expresses the opinion that it may lead to a total expulsion of all foreigners from that country, and a consequent war with the European nations will en.sue.A Sword eob Gen.Grant.\u2014Just before the departure of Gen.Grant for Cairo he was presented with a splendid sword, richly mounted and of the finest steel.On one side was engraved \u201cFrom Col.Coolbaugh, of the Liberal army of Mexico\u201d ;
