they have seen them so often hold up others as fraudulent knaves, only to humbly accept office with the men they characterized as rascals only an hour before ; they have seen them, to complete the farce, so frequently put on the airs o f virtuous reprobation towards those with whom they had, up to a very recent period, been acting for years, but whom they had suddenly de serted, that they conclude all are alike, and have no hope of effecting any worthy object by such instrumentality, They perfectly understand, moreover, that by the union of two great Parliamentary parties, under resolute leaders, with all the available talent for speech-making at their disposal, with the press which is pecuniarily independent, chiefly following the politi eal leads, and the press/which is pecuniary dependent, managed by the famous circular about the advertisements, the country is as effectually, though more gently garrotted, than France was by the coup d'etat, You meet hardly any one who expresses satisfaction at the course of events.There is an almost universal apprehension of financial evil, with no expectation of any well defined improvement, but, on the contrary, a thorough convictiou that there must be an increase of burdens.Most regard our new nostrums either as actually mischievous, or at best as inadequate remedies.Yet they look on with a dull apathy while the play is being played out.This state of insensibility in the body politic, however, is not a more healthy condition than in the body natural.When a great revolution is being effected ia the country, it would be well that peo-rle-should feel a strong interest in what isgoiug on, and if they did, there would be that division of judgment and that wholesome warmth and activity on both sides, which would prevent the too hasty construction of an edifice intended to be lasting.We have the histories of many consti.tarions ; but no one aver wrote that of one which was constructed with the indecent seeresy and hurry which has characterized the framing and passing of the one with which we are about to be endowed if the other Provinces will be as compliant as this.We are quite ure, moreover, that no Legislature in the Worli, consisting of men of British race was ever before dragooned in the manner to which that at Quebec is by a large majority quietly submitting.Count Bismarck himself could not perpetrate a worse insult on a Prussian Parliament,than by submitting to them a piece of legislation, consisting not of one, but of a long string of propositions, concocted by a clandestine, self-appointed Committee, not known to the Consti-tntion, and informing them that they were not to be permitted to modify that scheme in any particular ; nay, that they should be prevented from putting upon record any attempt at modification by carrying of the previous question, and thus dsstroying the faculty even of moving amendments.A Constitution thus made may be the very best possible one, as good as the choicest of those which the Abbe Sieyes used to manufacture ; but it can have none of that guarantee tor stability which results from a frame of government being the slow and deliberate expression of a peoples wants.In order that institutions intended for this purpose should be lasting, they should be assented to, and that freely and intelligently, which last condition involves times for re flection.Of what avail is it to snap a favorable judgment for such a plan, even if that be done the utmost good faith, if inconveniences and dead locks shall arise from the moment that the institutions which are created shall be put into operation?What solid ground for believing that this will not happen can there be in the ease of a constitution framed in two or three weeks rime by the incongruous elements brought together at the Quebec Conference, and explain-ed in half a dozen different ways to suit the taste of half a dozen different peoples, neither of whom would have it, if they understood it in the same sense, which is elsewhere declared to be the true one?Let us on this head take one item.In Canada the Ministry were reproached for irrevocably binding the country, with no option of Parliament, to the Intercolonial Railroad, by putting the obligation to build it into the constitution.Mr.John A.Macdonald ridiculed the idea of such a thing being ia the constitution, by which, if he meant anything serious, he meant that the matter was not to be settled by the fundamental law, and was, of course, open to be adopted or rejected thereafter by the Confederate Parliament.This was Tory good in Canada, where the doctrine even of Mr.Macdonald\u2019s colleagues ia that the railway is only desirable for the sake of the Confederacy, but it did not suit Mr.Tilley\u2019s book in New Brunswick, where they do not want the railway for the sake of the Confederacy ; but the Confederacy, if at all, for the sake of the railway.So as soon as Mr.Tilley got the news of Mr.John A.Macion-ald\u2019s speech,he wrote to cross question that gentleman, and received for answer a telegraph, saying that Mr.Macdonald had indeed stated that the undertaking to build the railway would not be in the Constitution, but that it would be in the Imperial Act which will most assuredly be the only constitution that we shall have.What are we to expect hereafter, when people coming together under one Government find themselves deceived as to the rights and duties for which they have stipulated, except that which happens when husband and wife only learn after marriage that each has been deceiving the other.Our constitution, if carried in the mode now proposed, will be very far from one of those which, like that of the Mother Counlry, \u201cslowly broadens down from prece-« dent to precedent.\u2019\u2019 It will be very far, also, from being one of those which, to use another time-honored statement, are not made, but grow At any rate, we never beard of more than one vegetable of a like portentous size which had so rapid a growth ; and, we need hardly add, that that was the gourd of Jonah, which did not prove very comfortable to live under.POLmCS^OF EUROPE.Brussels Correspondence of the Montreal.Herald, Brussels, Feb.17, 1865.L'Empire e'eu la pœ/s;\u2014such was the theme of the discourse pronounced by the Emperor at the opening of the Session of the Corps Legislatif.The present oration is but a paraphrase of the discourse at Bordeaux, which has remained famous in the annals of the Empire.Some days after that pacific declaration war broke out, and Grkat Rkpsesentativk Women.\u2014The Rev.John Lord commences his most interesting series ef lectures on \u2019\u2022 Great Representative Women,\u201d the remembrance of this fact, abates largely the hopes which would otherwise arise from the words uttered to-day.However, the situation of affairs as painted by Napoleon 3rd.is a seductive one.AH the expectations of France are approaching their fulfilment ; the e,rmy has evacuated China ; the navy is sufficient to maintain the establishments in Cochin-Chin:» j the army of Africa is to be reduced ; that of Me xico is already returning to France ; the garrisons of Rome will speedily come home, and thus in closing the Temple of War a new are de la triomphe may proudly bear the inscription, \u2018\u2018To the glory of \u201c French arms : for victories gained in Europe, \u201c Asia, Africa, and America.\u2019\u2019 Bat ia all this there is more of imagination than reality.With the exception of a few hundred men, in small and scattered bodies, almost the.entire expeditionary force is still in Mexico ; and the last news is that Bazaine is taking command of the expedition directed against Porfirio Diaz and the Juarist army.Not a battalion has quitted Rome.People cannot much rejoice, therefore, in the present ; and the future, says the poet, belongs to no one.Blue and rose odour predom-iuate in the Imperial harangue.The Emperor speaks of the Dano-Germanic conflict as ended, when nothing is yet concluded, and when a tempest may any day arise in Germany.It is to delude oneself too much to regard the Italian question as settled ; and the passage relating to the Convention of the 15th September, in spite of the applause which greeted it, has changed nobody\u2019s opinion.That convention says the Emperor cleared from the interpretation of passion, consecrates two great principles\u2014the freedom of of the Kingdom of Italy and the independence of the Holy See.The provisional and precarious state of things which has excited so much alarm is about to disappear.There,are no longer the scattered members of an Italian country seeking to attach themselves by feeble ties to a little State situated at the foot of the Alps; but there is a great country, which, raising itself above local prejudices, and despising unreflecting excitements, boldly transports its capital to the heart of the Peninsular, aad there places it in the midst of the Appenines as an impregnable citadel.By this act of patriotism, Italy becomes definitively constituted and at the same time reconciled with Catholicism.She engages to respect the independence of the Holy See ; to protect the frontiers of the Roman States, and thus permits France to withdraw her troops.The Pontifical territory, effectively guaranteed, is placed under the safeguard of a treaty which solemnly binds the two governments.The convention is not the work of war ; bat of peace and conciliation.God grant it ; but tbe presumptions are little in accordance with these flattering hopes.Has the Emperor lost all memory of the debates in the Turin Parliament on the conventions of September ?Ministers, diplomatists, deputies\u2014all were of one mind in affirming that the Franco-Italian convention claimed nothing contrary to the national aspirations or the rignts of Italy, and that it permitted to remain in full vigour the vote which declares that Rome is the capital of Italy.The Italian Government has not concealed its opinion that the convention afforded the only means of reaching Rome.How is that project to be reconciled with the speech at the opening of the Legislature ?I do not know how the speech will be taken in Italy ; but in France, it is supposed to assure the French guarantee to the Pontifical territory.If the word temporal power be not pronounced, as the Ultramontane journals have bitterly remarked, it is virtually cuntained in the passage relating to the Pontifical territory.But if France guarantees the Pontifical territory, she forcibly arrests Italy in her ambitious projects, and we are very little nearer a solution.As to dreaming of a serious reconciliation between the Pope and Italy\u2014it is like expecting the Tiber to flew upwards\u2014it is to pretend to realize the impossible.There is not a word in the speech on the United States.It is, indeed,\twhispered that\tthere was originally an entire passage devoted to this grave subject, and that the discourse was even in print, when: the telegram arrived with the announcement of the interview between Mr.Lincoln and the Confederate negotiators.The order was, therefore, sent to the printer to throw into the fire all copies already struck off, and to strike out anything relating to the American conflict.Thus the discourse teaches us nothing on any external question.It exhibits a policy of reserve and watchfulness.The Emperor avoids all initiative, and places himself at the mercy of events and of chance; prejudging nothing and holding himself in readiness for anything which may occur, fearing lest the facts of tomorrow should give the lie to his predictions ol to-day.The Emperor indeed does not seem himself very well convinced of the stability of the European peace.He gives a sigh of regret for the shipwrecked, plan of a Congress, and adds, the \u201c sword often cuts knots without un-\u201c tying them ; but the only basis of a durable \u201c peace is the satisfaction given by the agree-\u201c meat of sovereigns, with the true interests of \u201c peoples.\u201d On this snowing the peace is not very solid, either in the Duchies, which far from having a sovereign of their choice, are subjected to the will of an insolent conqueror; or in Rome where the Pope is imposing on his subjects mouldy laws, which are more worthy of the middle ages than of the 18th century.On questions ot concerning France herself, tne speech is a sober one.It admonishes the clergy with the most fatherly tenderness ; holds on to the Concordat as to an anchor of safety and enumerates some projects of law which, under color of enlarging the freedom of commerce will give the State the opportunity of putting its hand into everything.If the Government abolishes contrainte par corps it excesses itself and invokes Roman history in support of its thesis.It is in the name of the Romans that the debtors prisons are to be closed.That is the first benefit of the studies rendered necessary by the composition of the Life of Cæ ,ar.\u201cTo Julius Cætar the grateful debtors!\u2019 It is right to abolish the odious right of the creditors, and thus to restore the law of the Republie of 1848; but where are the political liberties of France ?There is no mention yet of the crowning of the edifice, and, therefore, all who are not afraid of Clichy have read the Emperors discourse without any emotion.The press is muzzled ; the right of public meetings ia suppressed ; but patience, all kinds of liberty will flourish onee more with the publication of the second volume.In tbe meantime people are not patient, and in the.departments they applaud and encourage every epigram or sarcasm against the Government.One of the mots which has had the greatest success is drawn from Punch.Two friends remonstrate, \u201c Eh, bien,\" says one \u201c sus ofula grand nouvelle ?Cœsar est sous presse.\" \u201c Tiens,\u201d replies the other, \u201c Je croyois que \u201c c'était la presse qui était sous Cœsar.\" Amcng recent incidents, that ot Monseigneur Chigi is a notable one.Monsignor, the Pope\u2019s Nuncio had written to one of the Bishops, encouraging him to set at defiance the law prohibiting the reading of the late Encyclical from the pulpit.This led to the insertion of a note in the Moniteut which was exceedingly hard upon the Nuncio, and was followed by a despatch from Drouyn de 1\u2019Huys to M.de Sartiges, in which the representative of the Vatican was by no means handled gently.This despatch from the Minister\u2019s own pan, and which received tbe express approbation of the Emperor is not long ; but its brevity leaves nothing to be supplied.Mr.Drouyn de l\u2019Huys indicates rapid ]y the iault committed by the Apostolic Nuncio in writing letters to French Prelates whom the Minister, in a sentence very cleverly put together assimilates to State functionaries.\u201c The Minister of the Emperor acknowledges \u201c tbe explanation that the letters written to the \u201c Bishops of Orleans and Poitiers have been \u201c made public only as the result of an indiscre \u201c tion of which he declines to accept the respon-\u201c eibility ; but M.Drouyn de l\u2019Huys points out \u201c that tha letters have nevertheless been writ-\u201c ten.He therefore instructs M.the Comte de \u201c Sartiges to communicate to Cardinal Antonel \u201c li the present despatch and to pray him to 11 take such steps, that similar errors of conduct \u201c should not be repeated \u2019\u2019 Language like that addressed to an independent Sovereign is at least very unusual, and every one looked, at the very least, for the recall of Mgr.Chigi.' Almost the entire corps diplomatique was moved by this public reprimand inflicted on an ambassador, and testified there regret to the Nuncio, so that an outbreak appeared to be imminent, when upon the I5th February, the day when the Emperor was to open the Chamber, the note following appeared in the Moniteur : The Nuncio has had the honour of being re-\u201c ceived at a private audience by the Emperor.\u201c His Excellency expressed his regret at \u201c the publicity given to private letters letters addressed by him to the Bishops ot \u201c Orleans, and Poitiers, and assured His Majesty \u201c that, penetrated by a sense of the duties ot his \u201c diplomatic character, he had never intended \u201c to depart from the respect due to the rules of \" international law.His Majesty accepted these \u201c assurances.\u201d The Nuncio, therefore, in orderjto conjure the tempest has been forced to yield, and the representative ot the Pope has humbly implored the pardon of Napoleon III.The revenues and expenditure of Great Britain and Ireland have just been published, The total revenues were £70,125,374 sterling.Ordinary expenditure £67,163,404; but to that must be added £720,000 for fortification, so that the surplus is £2,241,969.It has more than once been remarked that the material prosperity of a country is in direct proportion to ito political liberty, and that the good management of its finances, depends especially upon the regular piay of Parliamentary government.The most absolute of tbe European governments\u2014those of Turkey and Russia, are also those which are most overwhelmed in debt, k'ugland gives us a new example of the truth of there opinions.UN FRANÇAIS.GJSHERAL SESSIONS OF THEiPEACE.MAHCH TERM.Present Alexander M Delisle, William Erin atinger Esqs., J.P.Wednesday, March 8,gl8G5.^j The Court opened at ten o\u2019clock.LARCENY.Richard Crothy was placed at the bar charged with having on the 13th oi December last stolen certain carpenter\u2019s tools.After hearing the evidence the jury returned a verdict of \u201c guilty.\u201d The Court at once sentenced the prisoner to two years imprisonment in the Provincial Penitentiary.Olivier Kellestine was placed at the bar jointly indicted with Alexander Lesage and Louis Durocher, who made default, charged with stealing seventy-five deni planks from Robert Geer.On hearing the evidence the jury acquitted the prisoner and he was at once discharged.ORIAININS GOODS WITH INTENT TO DEFRAUD.Pierre Elzear Pettier, a merchant at Three Rivers, appeared in Court to answer to the charge of having on the 28th of June, 1864, obtained with intent to defraud, from Messrs.West Brothers, tobacconists ot this city, goods to the amount of $146,44.A French and English jury was sworn.Mr.Carter, Q.C.in opening tho case stud although the offence was a misdemeanor according to the law, it was a crime of very grave imp ertancie.It was only recently that an act was passed to enable the law to reach criminals of the character ot the defendants.He then reviewed the law on this subject in England.As early as Henry VIII the common law was found Inadquate to tbe punishment of frauds, and a law known to lawyers as \u201c an act respecting tbe obtaining of goods by any false token\u201d was passed.Subsequently the law creating a new offence, namely, of obtaining goods by any false pretense, and not requiring tbe showing of any false token was enacted, which law was found in the Consolidated Statutes of Canada.Subsequently legislation provided for the punishment of offences of the nature of obtaining property, with intent to defraud under which law tho present action was taken.Under this law it mattered little whether Mr.Pettier used any false pretense, it was only necetisary to prove that he did obtain tbe goods and under circumstances to show that there was an intent to defraud.He then proceeded to state the facts of the case ; that the defendant was at the time he obtained the goods a merchant in Three Rivers; that his liabilities were $5,500, and his assets only $4238; that he was therefore insolvent; that he purchased goods indiscriminately and without regard to price or the suitability to the market.He eubsequentlv contracted further liabilities to the amount $5695, on account of which he paid only $800.That he endeavoured to obtain $1700 more from others, but did not succeed.The largest creditors, Mossrs.E.Hudon & Co., advanced him more goods on condition of his paying monthly $100 ; but he made only two monthly payments.This too while he had in his possession goods amounting in value to $5695 obtained from other parties.He paid only $811 to all his creditors.It would also be proved, t o show that he intended to defraud, that whe n civil proceedings were instituted, he concee.led the goods, and when the assignees hid tak en possession of his property he endeavoured to\u2019 carry them off.He Mr.Carter had thus dwelt on this case, because it was important to the public interests, and in order to show merohanta from the country that they could not with impunity come to Montreal and Heather their nests at the expense of their creditors.He was now reminded of a fact which he had overlooked ; that the defendant before the discovery of the hidden goods had offered to settle with his ciieditors at the rate of 5s in the £ ; but on the d scovery of the goods, he offered 12s 6d in the £.Mr.Pominville addressed the jury in the French language, going over the same ground as Mr4 Carter.Andrew B West, of the firm of West Bros., jobbers and manufacturers of tobacco, testified to three invoices of goods, one purchased in May 1863, of $15, another in May, 1864, of $40, and the third in June 28th, 1864, of $148,84.The $40 purchtse was a sale made by one of their agents.Witness considered the purchase of June a large one for such a place and the business of the defendant.Cross-examined by Mr.Kerr\u2014The goods were obtained in Montreal, that is they were sold to him in Montreal and shipped by steamer to Three Rivers.There were no terms mentioned.Witness\u2019s young man charged them at four months ; this was an error which witness corrected afterwards.The clerk sent a note, included both purchasers, at four months, which defendants returned signed.This bill was returned to him as too long, and a short time tho note demanded.They received no other note.Re-direct\u2014The cartage and freight was to be paid by the defendant.Henry J.Lawton, a partner in the firm of C.H.David & Co., cutlery and glassware, was sworn.Mr.Carter produced invoices of goods purchased by Pottier from this firm.Mr.Kerr objected to the production of the invoices, as not having been from West Bros-atd being dated in July.Mr.Carter contended he had a right to produce such evidence as would show the intention to defraud, and cited authorities showing that cumulative circumstances could be introduced to show this intention, Mr.Kerr said the authorities cited bore no an alogy to this case ; they were in a case of conspiracy to defraud tradesmen.Guilty knowledge was not intent to defraud.The law ia bur statutes referring to the intent to defraud, was one whieh should not have been passed in this country.It exposed every man who contracted a debt who should be unable to meet it at a future period, to prosecution on a charge of in-ten ling to defraud.Mr.Carter, Q.C., said that the guilty knowledge, or the intent to defraud, could neither of them be shown except by all the circumstances being laid before the Court.The Chairman said the offence created by this statute was an innovation in English law, but the Court was of opinion that cumulative tvi dence to show the intent was admissible, and that the objection should be over-ruled Witness then testified to the authenticity of the invoices of goods purchased from his firm by the defendant, consisting of about $500 m glass ware, and about $300 in catlery, which goods were shipped at the expense of Pottier.Defendant made no remittances on account of thesè purchases.In November, witness went to Three Rivers, and attended a meeting of creditors, and found that few, if any of their goods were in the store.Saw Pottier in the store and asked him what had become of the goods; to which he replied they were all in the store or sold.Witness remarked that ,it was singular so large a quantity of expensive goods should be sold in so short a time.Several parcels of expensive cuttlery which they had sold were not to be found, on remarking the fact he received the same answer.Witness returned to Montreal and afterwards, having heard that goods had been concealed, by the defendant went to Th èa Rivers and on searching the defendants bed room and sitting-room found nearly the whole of their line glass-ware and expensive cuttleiy in the original packages.A part of the gooda were also found in the kitchen wnich were not there when they first passed through.They4 found a barrel in the yard containing hardware.The probable value of the goods found in proportion to the purchase from them was about $400.The barrel was among a number ofemp:y barrels, with an empty barrel inverted over it.This hardware was not from their establishment but from Morland, Watson & Co., he was informed The goods In the barrels was worth from 150 to$100.Cross-examined by Mr.Kerr :\u2014The defendant was put into insolvency by his creditors.He could not tell the extent of the defendant's business.On enquiring in Three Rivers as to the position of the defendant he was intormed that he was able to pay if he had the disposition.When the sale was made witness had no fear of sustaining loss.Danisl McMauamee, clerk in Foulds k Hodg-aon\u2019s, said:\u2014The defendant was in ihe habit of buying of them for the past five years.Witness sold him about the first of July from $600 to $800 worth of goods, but the goods were not delivered The purchase preceeding that, amounted to $113.15, in April, and consisted of fancy goods.That amount was not paid when the large purchase was made.Fifteen shillings worth of this purchase was taken with him by the defendant, the remainder Mr.Foulds thought it advisable not to send.He made his purchases in haste, and without the deliberation usual with country merchants.The goads weie principally cotton and heavy goods.Cross-examined by Mr Kerr\u2014One of onr young men called on Mr.Pottier in Three Rivers after that; d-d not know whether he ast-edvMr.Pottier to buy goods.Alfred A.Barber, partner of James Foley, in the hardware business, sworn:\u2014Invoices were produced of purchasers by the defendant from their firm, In April $46,21, and in May, 1864, $64^41, and goods returned by Mr.IPmtior of $21.These were shipped in the usual form.Subsequently an order was received from Pottier for goods amounting to between $500 to $1000, on or abont the first July.One item was for guns, an article of slow sale.This order was not filled for some days, and then the firm wrote to Mr.Pottier that the order was of such an extraordinary character for Three Rivers, that they must decline it unless for cash or approved paper.They never received a reply to this letter.The two invoices first mentioned were never paid.Wm.E.Eastty, crockery and hardware merchant, produced invoices of purchases in May, 1864, of $87, and on the 29th of Jane of $206.-27, which goods weie forwarded in the usual way.Witness had fyled his claim in the Insolvent Court.E.Hudon, of the firm of E.Hndon, Son & Co., sworn ; stated that in April, 1864, their claims against the defendant amounted to £680.In 1862 and \u201963 the defendant owed them £800 or £900, which he was to have paid in monthly payments of £25, and all future purchases were to have been paid for in cash.In April, 1864, defendant purchased goods to ihe amount of £463, saying nothing about money, but it was understood that it was for cash.Witness asked him if he had brought any money, to which he replied he had not, when witness said he could not have the goods.Defendant said he had £100 at home which he would send.Witnees agreed to send the dry goods when he received the £100, and would take notes for the remainder at three months The groceries were sent for the notes, and the dry goods on the receipt of the £100 cash.Witness here produced the invoices of goods.The lastipurchase was£393.Defendant made two monthly payments of $100 on the old debt ; but ia July failed to meet that engagement.Witness wrote ; but received no answer ; he retired defendant\u2019s notes.Witness produced five letters addressed to defendant asking payment at different times, to which no replies w re received.Witness went to Three Rivers in August, and saw the defendant.He asked him why he had not answered his letters ; defendant acknowledged it was a long time sinee he had written, but he had no money ; he said he would come to Montreal, and bring him some money, if he had to borrow it.When witness went in August to the store it was well filled ; but in September on going again to Three Rivers, he found the stock largely diminished.Defendant was handling some money which the witness asked him for,whenhe saidh* feared, Mr.Darling would arrest him.Witness went to the Court House in Three Rivers, and saw Mr.Darling who said he was-about to arrest the defendant for concealing goods.When the bailiff came to the store, witness told him to seize the desk in which he saw defendant place the money.Witness Saw goods being brought from the house of one Mr.Marcou, which had been brought from there by order of the bailiff ;\tfive or six truck loads of goods, cousisting of tobacco, tea, hardware &c.Defendant said nothing but appeared to be excited.Witness wentto the yard and the cellar, which was large, but there was nothing in it ; there was plenty of room in the cellar.The goods taken from MarcouVcould have been placed there with much more.On the second visit he noticed that a pile of dry goods and ready-made clothing on the counter had disappeared.He also saw the evidences of goods in the garret when the bailiff went there to s'eize.The bailiff aeized all tin books and paper,: lying about, but Pottier retained some pa-pors in his hands.Cross-examined by Mr.Chapleau : The defendant \"was arrested at the instigation of all the creditors.When arrested he stated that he had made a contract for wood on which he had lost heavily.Thomas Darling, hardware merchant, of the firm of W.Dailing & Co., sworn; defendant has been in business in Three Rivers since 1861, when he succeeded his father.The defendant owed them, on the 1st Jan., 1864, $270.A note was given in April at ti ree months.In April he bought an invoice of $622 90 in hardware and fancy goods ; in May he bought for $34 95 and $48.33 and on the 4th July $35.He paid nothing on these purchases, nor did he take any notice of their letters of demand.In September Witness went to Three Rivers to see why the defendant did not, pay, tand found from the manner of disposing bores ©f matches and black lead packages, on the shelves there was an intention to deceive.On making inquiries what had be-eome of the goods he found they were concealed.Witness then took steps to have his property seized under the Insolvent Act.While the seizure was being made Pottier came in in a great hurry and went up stairs.Mr, Hndon followed him to speak with him.Pottier soon came down with a package of papers in his hand and left with them.Being informsd that goods were secreted in one Harceu\u2019s place witness went there and found a large quantity -of goods, which were carted to Poitier s store.Witness also found goods in the.garret.Ün the 2nd of ^November a meeting of creditors was held in the r\u2018Ourt House at Three Rivers, and in consequence \u201cformation received they examined the yard 'ad follDli a ca8k\u2019 07er whioh a large crockery cask had bee,11 fürc?d\u2019 ThiE! cask was cut awa/when ta , Cask m,alde to\u201c h» to contain hardware fro.n Jflorland * 0o- ,vTh6 defendant was on the ga\tu Tr T open the cask, but left b!Le ^red\u201d! n ask him about it.The defeuda.-\"eclosèd the £., when the creditors told him a a fa.the state of his affairs they would n.\u2018 havintr Tourable settlement; later the defendant the/ been sent to gaol for contempt of Court.* prevailed on his wife to leave the house.Mr.Chappleau here rose to object to the evidence as tending, to establish a felony and not bearing on the case in question.Objection overruled.Witness continued bis evidence ; after Mrs.Pottier had left the house, witness went with a person acting as guardian into the dining room and bed room where they found a quantity of dry goods concealed in cupboards, piled from the floor, and from the clothes hooks were suspend-ed^whole pieces of cloth by a rope passe! round them, and outside were hung women\u2019s skirts so as to conceal them.In a wardrobe in the bedroom was a pile of ready-made clothing, appa-rentiy from the firm of J.S.Evans & Co.Under the bed was piled glassware,some small boxes of tobacco, three boxes of segars, and a quantity of crockery ; and iu the drawers were small packages of dry goods, plated spoons and forks ; and in three packages which were packed as Mrs.Pottier's and her children\u2019s clothing were found a quantity of dry goods and hardware to the value, of $300.Under the side-board was a quantity of fine cut glassware, tumblers and glasses, and likewise in the side-board itself, together with a large number of coal oil lamps.After the discovery of these goods witness was offered 12s 6d in the £ by Mr.Moses Hart, and by Mr.Barnes, the lawyer of the defendant, in the presence of the defendant.The goods found were all in their original packages.The clothes were new and with tne otiginal tickets, and apparently in the original folds.There were about 25 pairs pants and as many vests, and from 15 to 20 coats.These things were found after the seizure had been made by the bailiff ; they were not on the list.The concealed portion of the stock was the only valuable part, the exposed part bf-ing the worthless part.Détendant said nothing about what property he had when the bailiff seized.He said at the meeting of creditors that all the goods were in the store or said.This was before the goods were found, Witness bad devoted much attention to the state of defendant\u2019s affairs, and from his admissions and trom an examination of his papers he found that $5502.16 was the amount he owed before he made the spring purchase, and his assets about $4,2,16; his assets showed about 16s in the £, The new liabilities, by spring purchases, amoun -ed to $5,695.83 as snown by his papers and invoices which he admitted to be correct.After the 17th April his payments amounted to $811.42c.The largest sum paid was $600 to Hudon, the balance of $211 42 being all that was paid to all the other creditors.Witness had no doubt of the defendant\u2019s iosolvancy when he made the spring purchases The letter from Berber & Co.,.witness found among the papers of defendant at Three Rivers.A letter addressed to Morland, Watson k Co was produc d, witness testified that it was in the defendani\u2019g handwriting;

but as the matter was now the subject of négociation between the two governments, he could not state what the proportions of cost would be.A Bill, to enable the représentât!vi s of the late oylvester Boyd to sella portion of iheir estate, in order to pay off a mortgage thereon, occasioned some debate, bat was eventually read a second time and teferred to the Private Bill Committee.Bill, to enable the Counties in Upper Canada to lend money to needy persons to enable them to bay seed wheat, was read a second time and then passed through Committee of the ¦Whole.The House then adjourned.LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.^Quebec, March 8.To-day Son.Mr DORION presented four petitions, and Mr.LAJOIE one petition, against Confederation.Mr.DICKSON presented a petition in favor of Confederation.A discu sion was going on in relation to the manner in which Anti-Confederation petitions were got up, when our report left.(BY TELEGRAPH } LATEST FROM QUEBEC.Special Parliamentary Report to the Montreal Herald.LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.Quebec, March 8.Mr.DICKSON presented a petition from the County Council of Bruce, praying that the confederation scheme may be carried out.Hon.A.A.DORION and others, presented petitions against confederation.Hon.Mr CARTIISR to show how such petitions had been got up would read the following letter \u2022\u2014 Quebec, Jan.31st, 1865.Sir,\u2014Be kind enough to have the wiihiu enclosed petitions signed as soon as possible hymen, women, and children.Yours, very truly, J.B E.Dorioh.(Laughter) Such letters needsd no comment.Hon.Mr HOLTO N said that in the absence of Mr.Dorion he would say, even snpposiug th-^ letter to be genuine what was there in his writing in ibis jocular manner to an intimate friend in his couuiy.It was a common expression to make use of, and was doubtless only used \u2018o hasten signatures, the member for Drummond and Artbabatka knowing how the scheme was being hurried through the House.Hon.A.A.DORION\u2014To whom was that letter sent ?tiou.Mr CARTIER.\u2014I will not state that just now.Hon.Mr.A.A.DORION referred to a petition got up some years ago to the Imperial Pailia-ment with eigot-seven thousand signatures, and it was paraded in the papers that many of them w re those of women and children.He challenged the honorable member for Montreal East to go over a portion with him to sea if one-tenth of the signers were not electors, .Hon.Mr.CARTIISR bad received a letter from Montreal in which a friend of his asket him for a copy of the petition from that city, as he was told nis name and others were on it who had not signed it.So he, Hon.Mr.Car-tier, was getting a face simile of the petition made to have it sifted in Montreal.Hon.JOHN A MCDONALD said that the honorable gentlemen were fairly caught, and felt hart at it, like the man in the play who said be did not mmd lyiag for a friend, but it hurt his conscience to be lound out.Hon.Mr.SANDtl'IELD MCDONALD held that the Attorney-General East was bound to explain how he came by tbe letter written by a member of this House to a friend.The Government had expressed their determination to do everything to carry out this measure.Were they\u2019establishing espionage in the Post Office Î They should clear off the imputation this threw on their reputations.News had come that day that Newfoundland had postponed the measure for three years till after the next general election.Hon.J.A, MACDONALD\u2014It is is not correct Mr E.DORION having come in Mr.CARTIER again read the letter, stating that it was sent to the Mayor of one of the Coun-tiei the member represented.ERLO DORION had many letters to write and had not time to say much, but wrote with energy, and when he wrote the letter just read he only meant that as many as possible should Sign the peiition.It bon, gentlemen had any doubt about the feeling in his constituency let them go out their and it wouldjbe dispe.led.Considérable discussion ensued, Mr.Holton and Sindfield McDonald urging that tbe House should insist on the Atty.-Gen.stating how he came by the letter.His silence led to suspicion of its having been obtained,surreptitiously.Hon Mr.BRuVVN thought the House need not be surprised at gentlemen opposite losing their temper under such a frightful exposure of the way in which they got petitions manufactured to represent the public opinion of Lower Canada.Still, he thought, they had met, in a very becoming way, these grave charges of wholesale manufacture of petitions, of sending them to parties to have them signett by men* women and children, so that there were names attached to them of children 11 momhs old, and having hundreds of names to those pstitions written in one hand.The members tor Chateauguay and Cornwall met this in the first place by charging that this letter was forged ; that being found untenable, they charged that it had been got by the robbery of the mails, by the Postmaster-General taking it out ot the Post Offiee, and sending it to the Attorney-General East.Anything more reckless than the way in which they brought such charges, was never heard of.Mr.HOLTON\u2014I acquit the Postmaster-General.He is honest.(Laughter.) Mr.BROWN went on to say the fact was that the case needed no defence when such smarting evidence was produced of the way in whicn these petilions were concocted ; they cou.d not stand up under it, and had to resort to the most ridiculous counter-charge that could be invented Any one who looked at these petitions could see the genuine signatures were few and far between, and he thought the less gentlemen opposite said about them the better.He had chiefly risen, however, to protest against their reckleso conduct in bringing such an outrageous charge against the Post Office Depattment without the least shadow of a pretence to sustain it.Hon.Mr.McGEK said a lew days ago he had called the petiiionB bogus 'petitions, and he repeated that now.They were not an expression of public opinion.Mr.«Ai'KIN said if there was one thing more than another which should be condemned, it was conduct such as that of the Attorney-General East, in leading a letter addressed to another person, whether it came into his possession by accident or oiberwite, If he (Rankin) picked up a letter in the street addressed to the Attorney-General, he might just as well come here and read it to the House.He was surprised the Attorney-General s looped so low as to try and gain a petty triumph by such means.(Hear, hear) Farther discussion ensued, and the petition was finally read.Routine business proceeded till the House rose at Six.AFTER RECESS) Mr.POWELL presented a report of the Special committee appointed to er quire into the system of colling timber at Quebec.It pointed out the abuses into which the system had fallen,and recommended Varions chances respecting the subject.He pressed the report upon the attention of the Government, and trusted it would introduce a bill in accordance with the recommendations of the report.He then proceeded to say that in the remarks ho had addressed to the 1 jader of the Government yesteidoy, ho was animated by no unfriendly spirit.He did not think the course of the Government laid down was one calculated to assist it In furthering the ob jact it had in riew.His hon.friend the leader of the Government, however, had differed from him and taken upon himself to dispute the sincerity of ihe declaration he (Powell) had made that he was a supporter of the scheme of co ilederation His relations with that hon.gentleman had been of longer continuance than peihaps was usual among men in political life in Canada, and whethir he had ever since he fir.-t knew him (Powell.) doue an act or expressed a Sjniiment that would jasiify himiadoubtijghis sincerity when he offered advice to the Government, it was for the hon.gentleman to say.The ty, the party to which he had endeavoured to adhere fauhfully, sincerely, truly and well, the leader whom be had adopted as his leader, and never in his life had he differed from his leader without first giving him intimation of it.He felt that the course tho hon.gentleman had pursued in charging him with insincerity when ne was faithful and true in the advice he gave was unjustifiable.Mr.KYMAL\u2014Hear, hear-Mr.POWELL\u2014\u2019\u2019\u2019he hon.gentleman said hear, hear, and the only thing he (Powell) disliked about his leader was his having any connection with ihe fellows over the way\u2014(loud iaugbter)\u2014and he regretted that, by faithful allegiance to the hon.gentleman, he was drawn intj associations which he so thoroughly lepu-diated.(Renewed laughter.y Mr.RTMAL\u2014If the hon.gentleman refers to me, I can say I have had nothing to do with him or his lea 1er.(Laughter.) Mr.POWELL\u2014when I am forced into associations so disagieeable to me, as I am cow in for ihe sake ot that hon.gentleman, I do not think it is fair, or generous at his hands to charge me with insincerity, when I wink, or nod or look disapproval of anything the Government may do.(Hear, hear.) Hon.J.A.MACDONALD said, with reter-rence to the report just submitted, his hon.colleague, the Commissioner of Crown Lands, he believed, agreed with its principal recommendations, and the Government recognized the importance of the subject and doubtless a measure would be submitted concerning it.Then as to ihe personal matter he, Hon.Mr.McDonald, did not charge the honoraole gentleman, Mr.Powell, with insincerity, and if he thought so he was labouring under misapprehension.He might say a word as to the relations between the leader of a party and his supporters.He believed the ob-ligatiofi between them was mutual ; that a man should think welt before he chooses a party, and when he did choose it that he should support it thoroughly.\u2014Hear, hear.\u2014If the leader rose at any time to make a proposition in the House the current of mind of his supporters should be to think he had some proper and desirable object to serve id making it, and if they couid not support it they should not at any rate be the first to attack it.If the leader adopted a course that did not meet the approval of his supporters it was the simplest thing for them te go to the leader privately and tell him that after full deliberation they couid not support him in that particular matter.This he thought was due to a leader whether of the Government, or of the Opposition and in order to carry on Representative Government it was absolute-ly necessary there should be some such con-fiience existing between leader and supporters.^Hear, hear ) Mr.TO WELL said the time was when hon friend called his supporters together, and consulted them, but that appeared to have passed (Hear, hear ) Mr.\u2022>.bandfield MoDONALD spoke of the embarrassment caused to the leader ot a Government when any of his supporters rose, and without notice.attacked a proposition that might be made by the Government before having an opportunity of consuliing all its followers.He had himself experienced this embarrassment, and thought it due to thu leader of a Government, at any rate, that supporters should notify him when they resolved to oppose anything he proposed.The order of the day for resuming the de >ate on Confederation was resumed.Mr.CHAMBERS had considered attentively and impartially the subject of Confederation as developed duriug the debate which had taken place, and While there were parts of the resolutions which he would wish to see amended, yet be could not believe it his duty to rtject such a plan of uoion.He saw in the attitude of the union strength to us, and a means of securing more surely ihe co-operation of the Mother Country, and it gave us a better position in the eyes of the world.\u2014 tie directed attention to our vast resouroes and asked of what consequence wou.d they be if the Confederation was not entered on.He had seen political troubles and disorders in tbe past, imminent danger of some tiling worse, Upper Canada would not much longer have submitted to be deprived of a lair share of represemaiion in Parliament.Mr.GEUFFRION argued against the Confederation scheme.French Canadian Catholics should be against the scheme of granting powers of divorce.The Clergy were by no means all in lavor of the scheme, and read letters in the newspapers to prove this, He proceeded to tombât the scheme as dangerous to the interests and institutions of Lower Oanadians Mr jtuijMILLARD announced that after careful consideration of the question he Suould sup-por.the scheme as on the whole favorable to Lower Canadians and to the whole of the Provinces.Mr.PAQUET opposed the scheme on grounds already adduced.Mr.O HaLLORAN opposed the adoption of the scheme.The members had no right 'o alter the constitution witUout taking the sense ot the people if it were only as to how to work it out, and he more specially objected to it, seeing the manner in which it was sought to be forced upon the House.Me btlieved that if the consciiution were adopted it would intensity sectional differ ences in Lower Canada.English speaking members would have only one-htth of the representatives while owning a third of the property and paying a found ot ihe taxes since Prencn Oanadians were so frugal in consuming imported goods.If the British could not now get such achool legislation as they wanted, owing to the imposition of French Oanadians, they would be worse off then.In a Council, nominated as under this scheme, the British would have no chance to be represented fairly.These changes were not needed to put an end to our trouble ; we only needed economy and the putting an end to the system of equivalent grants between the present Provinces.The scheme had been referred to the people in New hi nns wick and there met itafate.He went on allude to tbe Opposition in the other Provinces, and strongly condemned the Government for arrogating to it itself the power that it had done.Mr.J.ROS3 followed in support of the scheme.He believed that the time had come for some change, and that although the scheme might not be what all could desire for the interest of the country it had been approached in a spirit of concession and the delegates were entitled to great credit for foresight in regard to the future of the country.The Government had acted in a manly stnght forward manner.He believed our interests should be consolidated.A large increasa in the popula-tron would take place as soon as the scheme was c« ried.It would be a dark day if we could not agree upon some scheme that would unite us.Mr.BOWMAN referred to sectional difficulties between Upper and Lower Oankda, and the agitation which had arisen lor constitutional re.lorm, as rendering necessary such a change of our conslitmion as would make the Provinces to act together in peace, and was willing,, it should be disposed of by the Legislature.He concluded amidst loud cneers.Mr.WALSH complimented the memb.r for North Waterloo on his speech, and regretted he had not more frequently given the House tho oenefit of hie views (Hear, hear.) He weutou to speak in favor of the Confederation scheme, looking at the sectional agitation which had existed so long.We had but one of two alternatives, dissolution of the union between Upper and Lower Canada, or a larger union.He was strongly opposed to the foimer alternative and thought the laiter the only one that would improve our condition.He proceeded to argue iu favor of the present measure on the ground that a union of the Provinces was necessary, with ihe view of adopting an effective means of defence, and in order to onr availing ourselves to the tullest extent of the commercial advantages of our position.He proceeded to argue that us a question of building up a nation here, founded on British institutions, mis scheme ought to be assented to.He was strongly in lavor of it as a whole, though he saw some things in it he could not approve of.He regretted some things in it he could not approve of.He regretted very much that the management of lands was left to the Local Governments, but |he Was glad to see the rights of minorities carefu.ly guarded.Since heenteied Parliament in 1863 his views had changed with regard to the intercolonial Railway.He was men opposed to it as useless, but now he believed it to be a necessity of our position.JHe believed the people had shown themselves sufficiently informed to judge of this question without an appeal to them at a general election.\u2014 The petitions were sent in by those who had made up their mind against it, but the meetings RNUpper Canada were all in favor or it it was urged tnat this would lead to independence, if mat meant separation from the mother country, ne would oppose it.If cf our neighbours, it would be the strongest ground for supporting it.Mr.GIBB3 thought Ministers entitled to the thanks and gratitude of iha Country for the work done since the lormation of the coalition last summer.Almost every member had expressed himself in favor of union, it deserved the support ot every patriotic man, if union can be based upon just conditions.Some members were in favor of a Legislative union, but all the Maritime Provinces and the Lower Canada ma jority were against it in conference, and even some Upper Oanuda delegates, he believed, preferred the Federal prinsiole.It had been argued that it might lead to a separation from Britain.He did not believe this He would support this, on the contrary, as likely to bind ns still more closely to tne Mother Country.After careful considt ration he felt sure that no scheme, ever offered to tbe people of this country was so worthy of acceptance.In the Biding he represented he believed there were only a few exceptions to the unanimous approval of the scheme All the opposition raised in his constituency was to details.His opponent made the most of the objection to the change in the Legislative Council, yet he was elected notwithstanding as the advocate of the whole scheme.He thought it, was a matter of regret that twenty - fire dollars per head was taken as the basis of debt.He believed it would have been better to have taken a smaller sum, although there would thus have been more left to be divided between the local Governments of Upper and Lower Canada, and borne by them.He thought subsidies would give almost too large revenues to local Governments.He thoughi, however, the distribution ot revenue just or at least a great improvement on the pro- thought there was no good ground to expect extravagance to grow out of Union with the thrifty, frugal population of the Maritime Provinces.as for the expense of the local Governments that was entirely in our own hands anti would be kept down by the fear of direct taxation.He entered into calculations to shew the commercial advantages of tbe scheme, and he thought the traffic would find its way over the Intercolonial Railway.The debate and the House were adjourned at two o\u2019clock.(BY TRLE8BAFH.)

Alderman Lyman, the Chairman of this Committee, is about to retire from the Council, tbe Fire Committee avail themselves of this, their last meeting for the current civic year, to offer to that gentleman an expression of the high sense which they entertain of the valuable services rendered by Alderman Lyman in his capacity of Chairman of this Committee, and more especially in having sugges ed, and introduced the Eleotrio Fibb Alarm Ckleobaph into this city ; and that as a email token of their regard Alderman Lyman be requested to allow the Fire Department to place a striking gong instrument in his mansion, Thornhill, to be connected with the Fire Alarm Telegraph.Certified.(Signed,)\tCHS.GLACKMEYER, City Clerk [copy ] Moetseal.March 8, 1835.Dear Sir,\u2014It is extremely gratifying to me, i assure you, to receive from the Fire Committee the assurance which you have communicated in its resolution of the 17th ult., of their kind appreciation of my services in connection with the Department, over which I have had the honor to preside for the past five years, and especially in having been instrumental in the introduction of the Fire Alarm Telegraph.Remembering the unpopularity of the invention when it was first proposed lor adoption, it is extremely satisfactory to me to observe the complete revulsion of public sentiment, and it must be gratifying also to those members of the Council who gave me their confidence, and enabled me to obtain for the city an improvement which wili, I have no doubt, prove a blessing for all time to come.In conclusion, I trust that those who may be selected to direct the Fire Department, will receive the same generous support and confidence which was accorded to myself, and which enabled me to carry out several measures tending to tne improvement of the service.With sentiments of personal esteem, I am very truly yours, HENRY LYMAN.Chs.Glacemsybr, Esq., City Clerk, Montreal.The Annual Yolbniesb and Service Militia List fob Canada, is a small pamptnet-like vol.ume of some nundrtd pages, compiled by Lieut-Col.Tbos.Wily, and published under authority.It is intended to occupy the same place iu regard to the Volunteer and Service Militia of Canada tnat the Army List does to that ol Her Majesty\u2019s Regulars.We observe that Col.Wily has secured the copyright by entering it in the office of the Registrar according to the Act.Much ctedit is due to Col.Wily lor the industry he has bestowed upon his labor, and the lucid arrangement of the several branches of the organization upon which it treats.The contents are a complete list of the commissioned officers, under tho following several heads: The Gommander-iu-Ohief, His Excellency the Right Honourable Charles Stanley Monck, Governor General of British North America, &c, &c.Extra Aide-de Camp Major Hewitt Bernard, Civil Service Rifles ; officers of the Adjutant General\u2019s Department, ; Regimental Divisions of the Brigade Majors for Upper and Lower Canada, with date of their appointments and the ceitificates they hold, whether first or second class; Superintendent of Stores; Provincial SUre keepers ; Musketry instructors and theit class ot certificates ; Officers serving in the Volunteer Force having \u2018 Brevet\u2019 or Militia rank ; Appointments of Lt.-Colonels from the year 1864 to 1865; Appointments of Majors from 1838 until Aug.1863 ; and also that of Captains from 1850 to December 1864.Next we have the list for the Volunteer officers of Upper and Lower Canada, with date of appointments, Regimental Divisions and class of certificates they hold, serving as Volunteer Militia cavalry : Volunteer Militia Field Batteries of Artillery ; Volunteer Garrison Batteries of Artillery ; Volunteer Militia Engineer Companies ; Volunteer Militia Infantry and Rifle* Corps ; Infantry aud Rifles ; with a recapitulation of Regimental Divisions having Volunteer Corps and their numbers ; with the names of officers who have been permitted to retire from the Volunteer Militia, retaining their rank therein with a view to future service.It comprises also a list of Volunteer Militia called oat for active Service for the first or Western Administrative Battalion for the second or Central, and for the third or Eastern.Next is the list of Passed Candidates from the Military School of Quebec, Military School of Toronto, with date and class of certificate and Regimental Division.From a foot-note it will be observed that only nine Regimental Divisions have not passed candidates for the Service Militia for Lower Canada, and only six have failed to return candidates for Upper Canada.The List of all officersuappointed for the examination of Candidates for admission to the military School at Quebec, Montreal, Kingston, Toronto and Hamilton is given complete.All the Militia Genetal Orders, Circulars, Memoranda, Ac., issued from tke Adjutant-General's Departmout between the 20lh ol April, 1856, and the let December, 1864, are given in full, and cannot fail to prove of ihe greatest value to Officers of the Volunteer Miliiia Force.The Table of Daily Pay of Officers in Her Majesty\u2019s service and tne tabie of tbe daily rate of pay and allowances for officers and men of the Velar teer Militia on active service will also be of considerable service.The total number of Militia men in Canada, as returned on the County Rolls for 1864, are, first-class, 43,746 ; Second-class, 77,627 ; Reserved men, 33,701.The total, 164,674.Total number of Militia mea in Upper Canada, as returned on the County Ralls la 1864 are

entirely hr the recommendations \u201c of his constitutional aevisere in native as well as in ordinary affairs.\" This programme secured the assent of almoet'.he whole Assembly except the Auckland memiers, who voted in a body against it, but from disgust at the removal of the capital.The lumbers were thirty-five in favour and eighteen against, of whom, however, fifteen were Aucklaid members.The Crown and Parliament in Prussia have as yet arrived at no agieement.The Government, in order to separate the working classes from the Liberals, has promisse! to introduce measures for \u201c organizing labour,\u2019' a move which the Liberals have met by a bill abolishing most of the existing restrictions without organizing new.This, it is bslieved, will be rejected by tbe Upper House, and meanwhile the Chamber has demanded reductions in the military budget, the abolition of the salt monopoly, and the reduction of the house tax, legal costs, and postage charges.The Crown Prince has become convinced that military reform is really necessary, but still objects to the unconstitutional methods by which it has been secured.There are still rumours cf a compromise, but the concession must come in tbe first instance irom the Crown.Convocation is not happy about the Divorce Act.The Lower Bouse has complained that it iriitates the consciences of the clergy, and the Bishop of Oxford, besides admitting that fact, ENGLISH NEWS OF THE WEEK.ending, Feb.18th.Mr.Blair\u2019s mission to Richmond did produce \u2014a certainty that peace is as yet impossible.Mr.Roebuck put his promised query to Mr* Gladstone on Tuesday night.He asked whether the Government intended to institute any inquiry into our Railway system with a view to legislation.The Chancellor of the Exchequer replied that he intended to advise Her Majesty to issue a Commission of Inquiry into the economical questions connected with the Railway system, such as cost of conveyance, but nut into matters of policy.There was a strong desire among the industrial community to discover whether toe benefits of railway carriage could not be extended.Mr.Walpole proposed an address on the subject, but Mr.Gladstone declined it as nneonstiturional ; Mr.Scully then asked if he did not intend to purchase Irish railways, and Mr.Gladstone, while refusing to commit the Cabinet, \u201c concurred in the opinion that the Irisn railways formed a case by themselves.\u201d\u2014 So they do, only it will be as well to ascertain whether the Irish, once aware that railway cars are Government property, may not think it their duty to throw them off the line.Monsignoie Ohigi, Nuncio in Paris, has been ordered to eat humble pie.He had written a letter to the Bishop of Poitiers, Monsignore Pie, commending his disobedience to the law in the matter of tbe Encyclical, and the Bishop published the note.Thereupon the Moniteur asked what business a Nuncio had to interfere with the domestic policy of France, and M.de Sar-tigea asked at Rome unpleasant questions not published.The upshot was that Monsignore Chigi tendered his resignation, was ordered to withdraw it and apologize instead, and like an obedient priest and polished Italian gentleman, did apolog *e with a good grace.The result is that Roman subtlety chose an untenable ground to quarrel Upon, lost tbe quarrel, and skulked\u2014a new proof of the \u201castuteness\u201d which guid s the Vatican, the silliest Cabinet at this moment in existence.New Zealand is going to make a most laudable attempt to rid i self of ohr blind interference by dispensing with ouf military assistan e.The old Ministry has succeeded in resigning, and a new one, under Mr.Weld, of Canterbury, makes it its main article that it will send the soldiers home on condition that the Governor We a-e not left in doubt as to the principles on which an independent Administration would act towards the natives.Mr.Weld, the head of the new Ministry, appears to think that after the termination cf the present war a moderate standing force would suffice to control the Maori tribes and prevent internal disturbances ; bat this force he considers should be equipped and disciplined with especial reference to the service.For the rest, he relies upon well selected military posts, and, above all, military roads.He would drive these roads straight through the districts in which the Maories intrench themselves, not fighting except on compulsion, but completing the roads at all hazards, and paying the natives themselves for working at them, if they could be induced to do so.Then he would establish military settlements on lands to be taken from the tribes actually in rebellion, and thus by one and the same act remunerate the auxiliaries and raise a birrier against invasion.It may be assumed, too, that tire colonists will look to similar confiscations as a resource against the financial difficulties into which the war has brought them.This programme will be received with little dissatisfaction by Englishmen, Of course, due consideration will be required ou a proposition which, as Mr.Weld confesses, \u201c would change the whole aspect of the relations between the mother country and the colony ;\u201d but when the deprecated strongly the publication af reporte of \\ alternative was placed before the colonists it the Divorce Court.He proposed that the House \\ could hardly have been expected that they should express formally its sympathy with the aggrieved.The Bishop of St.David\u2019s, with his usual incisivenees, was \u201cinclined to move an amendment that the House lamented that there were clergymen whose consciences was aggriv-ed,\u201d there being obviously in his mind such a thing as a thin-skinned conscience.The Bishop of London doubted whether a festering sore was not the better for fresh air, and would not have their \u201cLordships asked to express an opinion on the publication of the reports, though doubtless they did great occasional harm \u201d As a matter of fact clergymen are not compelled to marry persons divorced under the new Act and as to secret trials, they would quadruple the amount cf adultry.The great thing most profligate men and all prefligate women fear is publicity.The mtre chance of being divorced strikes them as rather pleasant than otherwise, and the bare intimation that they had so been would in many classes not exclude t\u201cem from society.The Bishop of Oxford forgets that divorce is no longer the luxury of the Upper Ten Thousands The ironmasters of Staffordshire, tired, it would seem, of the endless demands of the \u201cpud-dlers,\u201d who are always striking because without them the work of hands ten times as numerous as themselves canuot go on, have given notice ot a \u201clock-out.\u201d The Dowlais Company, however, has done something much more sensible.It has called in tne aid of science, a»d Mr.Bernard Walker, has invented a rotatorj furnace which does the puddling Itself.\u201cBlooms\" made by this process have been shown and pronounced batter than those made by hand labour.The men will now probably strike against the new furnaces,\u2014but that game has never succeeded yet.The builders in the Midland Counties, both masters and men, seem to have learned wisdom.On Friday night, the 10th inst., a great meeting was held in tbe Birmingham Town Hall, which decided that disputes ought to be settled by ar-bitration, appointed delegates for the men and masters, and bound both sections to bide by their award.We have therefore at last a combined committee, and possessed of moral authority.Dr.Gray, the Bishop of Capetown, has denied the charge of having asked the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel not to honor th -drafts of clergymen in the Natal diocese without being endorsed by himself, or rather he denies the motive, and say s tbe precaution was not ugaiuat heresy, but overdrawing.We fear Dr.Gray\u2019s memory is defective.The Dean of Mariizbarg,\u2014Dr.Gray\u2019s right-hand man,\u2014 wrote to the Bishop of Capetown on March 30, 1863, \u201cI am writing to the Society f'orthe Propagation of the Gospel.\t.As a security they ought to establish pro tem.some such rule as that me Missionaries\u2019 drafts should be countersigned by you, or some one accredited by you.It would make plain to Bishop Colenso that he would be without clergy if he returned ;\u2019\u2019 on which Dr.Gray had writien, \u201cI think that the letter of the Dean of Manizburg, which I enclose is entitled to consideration.\t.I am sure that the Society w ill be glad to do anything in their power to strengthen our hands iu a time of great trial and difficulty.\u201d Would it have \u2018\u2022strengthened\u2019\u2019 Dr.Gray's hands to guard ihe funds of the society at home from overdrawing.'\u2019 The Commission for revising the subscriptions of the clergy have presented their report.What they propose is.an improvement, the more so that it was expressly meant by the Commissioners to solve small scruples in a liberal sense, and permit yonng clergymen in sym-nathy with the general doctrines of the Ohuren, but not entirely with all its minor points, to sign without any slur on their conscience.It abolishes the bona fide \u201cassent and consent\u201d to all that is contained in the Book of Common Prayer.The general declaration substituted is \u201c \u2018I, a.B, do make the following solemn declaration I assent to the Thirty-nine articles of Religion, and to tbe Book of Common Prayer, and Ordering of-^gishops, Priests and Deacons ;\t1 belitve the doctrine of ihe United Chur:h of England and Ireland, as therein set forth, to be agreeable to the Word oi God : and in Public Prayer and Administration of the Sacraments I will use the form in the said Book prescribed, and none other except so lar as shall be ordered by lawful authority.\u201d Why the declaration of assent should be \u201csolemn\u201d and the assent itself not so, is a problem which the Commissioners alone can solve.It is a concession even to wish to concede.But tbe Commission ought to have done more.Last Sunday George Victcr Townley, condemned to death lor the murder of Miss Goodwin, and reprieved on the ground oi temporary insanity, but afterwards committed to the Model Prison at Pentonville, committed suicide.It seems that he attempted to open the veins in his arms, but not sue reeding, when leaving the chapel, where he had sung, contrary to his usual custom, the last verse of the chauut \u201cIn life, in death, O Lord abide with me I\u201d he deiibjrately jumped over the rails of the circular gallery, fell a height of twenty-three feet, crushing his head on tbe stone paviog below, and died in three hours.The coroner's jury found him \u201cinsane,\u201d which was also the view of the chaplain, who grounded his view first on Townley\u2019s refusal to consider the murder \u201ca sin,\u201d and secondly on a very remarkable letter to his mother, which, because it was no l written on the \u201cregulation lines\u201d of the prison paper, was not allowed to go The letter proves Towniey anything but insane.It is lull of tenderness for his mother, whom he calls by an evidently old family term of endearment, \u201cMum.\u201d It is written for her birthday, gives her bis \u201cbest and kindest love,\u201d insists on her not troubling herself about him or his state, and goes on\u2014\u201cwhat we are all doing, and what\u2019s the object of it, we can have no notion of; it looks very nonsensical, but that\u2019s no business of ours, and at any rate we have nothing to do with it, aud perhaps we really do only see the wrong side of the carpet.\u201d It would be difficult to give a more telling illustration of the guesses men are apt to give at the purposes of life.He makes very light of his imprisonment, but absolutely refuses to let his mother and sister come to see him.\u201c The very notion of your being within these walls or in contact with this place in any shape or way, is perfect torment to me.\u201d He speaks of his mo

Our correspondence from New Zealand will apprise the public of the position to which affairs have now been brought in that colony.The war is allowed to sleep.But a new Ministry has been formed on principles which Would essentially moaify both the actual constitution of the Colony and its relations with th* Government at home.We may presume that our readers retain a general impression of the Case as it stood.The colonials were supplied with a military force from this country, and in return Were obliged to accept such an intervention of the Imperial Government as produced in practice a double aU-miuistration.The Governor had the a\u2018d of a Ministry on the spot, but he was in correspondence with the Colonial Secretary, and the policy dictated by this Minister\u2019s despatches was cf;en opposed to the policy advocated by the Colonial Cabinet.Especially was this collision conspicuous on the questions arising from the recant war.A belief was entertained in this country that the imperial troops were engaged in an unnecessary war for the undue promotion of colonial interest Mr.Cardwe.l gave expression to this opinion by directing that the war should be brought to a close, and thus, as the colonists affirm, destroyed the effect of a policy which, though none of their devising, would soon have produced a satisfactory result.Tney could not, however, deny the logic of Mr.Cardwell\u2019s arguments.If we fought their battle) we had a right to decide on the continuance of the war There was an alternative of course, and this they are now preparing to accept.The new ptime Minister has undertaken to \u201crecommend \u201c the Assembly to request the Home Govern-\u201c ment to withdraw its land force and to issue \u201c such instructions to the Governor as may en-\u201c able him to be guided entirely by the recom-\u201c mendation of his constitutional advisers, ex-\u201c cepting only upon suett matters as may \u201c directly concern Imperial interests and the \u201c prerogatives of the Crown.\u201d The policy has teen accepted by the Governor, and if it is ultimately established, it will place the relations of the colony and the home country upon a footing entirely new.should adopt the opposite decision.The mis chief of the existing system consisted in the separation of authority from responsibility.The colonists, made the war, while we found the troops for, without prospect either of advantage or glory.We endeavoured to terminate this anomaly by assuming the responsibility, and furnishing the Governor with orders in opposition to colonial opinion.The colonists admit that the privilege belonged to us, but they now propose to remove the conditions out of which it arose, aud that, we presume, must have been the expectation with which the late policy was framed.EXTRAORDINARY EVIDENCE FLIOT, OF CON- A criminal case of unexampled character has been presented to the wonder of the public.Such a case, involving so many contradiction is not to be found in the calendars of of crine.On the 26th cf last December ten or a dozen Italians and as many Englishmen were drinking Lat the Golden Anchor tavern, the Englishmen in one room, the foreigners in another.An affray occurred between them, and an Englishman named Harrington received a mortal wound.On the 3d of this month He afino Pelizzloni was tried for the murder and found guilty.Tne defence effsted was that though poor Harrington had been killed, the guilty Italian was not Pelizzioni, but another John, or Gregorio Mogni.Mr Ribton did not hesitate to say, for the prisoner, that this Gregorio \u201cwas the man.\u2019 Neveitheless the jury convicted Pei-izzioni, and Mr, Baron Martin, in pronouncing sentence used these words :\u2014\u2018 I am as satisfied as I can be ofanythiag that Gr gorio did not inflict this wound, and mat you were the person who did.\u2019 That the crime itself was extenuated by circumstances almost to manslaughter, the Judge acknowledged, but of the identificalion ol the prisoner he had no doubt whatever.In the face however, of this decision certain countrymen of the prisoner, reeling persuaded of his innocence and of Gregorio\u2019s guilt, resolved to briug the latter to justice.The evidence which procured the eonvietion of Pelizzioni was upon the face as complete as bad ever been produced against a prisoner.The nature of the affray admitted of an uu usual number of witnesses, and their depositions were consistent, and cleat.Three of the Englishmen present saw Pelizzioni siriàe the deceased, and the deceased fall from tbe blow.W bile Harrington lay in the hospital, Pelizzioni was placed by tbe bedside aund tbe dying man was asked to say whether he could see anybody who had stabbed him.He pointed to the prisoner and said, 1 That\u2019s the man.\u2019 This he said with no vindictiveness, adding, indeed expressions indicating forgiveness.The reader will probably be or opinion that the force of evidence could be carried no further yet there was confirmation still to come.The potman of the tavern had been stabbed in the affray, and he swore distinctly to Pelzzioui.Moreover, he and another witness stated that they had struck Pelizziohi on the head in the scuffle, and when Pelizzioni was examined his head was fonud cut.Lastly all the witnesses concurred in affirming that when Harrington was struck down one Italian only was in the room where the Englishmen were assembled and Pelizzioni alone bad entered the apartment where he was taken.We may now describe the evidence which has been brought to upset this case.We will put the strongest point first.Gregorio has \u201cconfessed\u2019 What bis confession amounts to has yet to be determined, He does not say that be killed Harrington, but he says he was in the English, men's room and that, fearing to bo overpowered, he used his knife in self-defence.Iu support ot this statement, testimony was produced to the effect that Gregorio had made the same statement to some of his friends, and tnat be had even got rid of the knife which he had used.It is beyond doubt, too, that he left London shortly after though he was under no notice to leave.One of the Italians also distinctly contradicted the statement that Pelizzioni was the only one of their number in the Englishmen\u2019s room,and deposed that Gregorio was there, in'sùort, wnereas tbe evidence against Pehzzioni on this point was directly impugned by counter evidence rendering ii conceivable that the perpetrator of the act might possibly have been some other person, Grsgorio acknowledges enough to make it highly probable that he was this person, and it is sworn that he made such acknowledgments on tne very night of the affray.Some attempt was made to present the case as one of mistaken identity, but that ground did not appear tenable.The landlord of the tavern distinguished plainly between Gregorio and Pelizzioni, whom he had known for three months, The potman who was stabbed, and who swore to Pelizzioni as the man who stabbed him, had been acquainted with him for four or five yeers, and had also known Gregorio, and he roundly affirmed that there was \u201cnot the slightest resemblance between them.\" Moreover, there was a woman who was knocked down presumably by the tame man who killed Harrington, and this woman swears that the man who knocked her down was certainly Pelizzioni, and was certainly not Gregorio.When then could be no mistake of identity, what theory can be offered to invalidate the testimony against Pelizzioni ?The theory, as it seems, of a general conspiracy.The conductors of the case against Gregorio allege that the landlord of tne tavern \u201chad a feeling\u201d that his customers shared his impressions, and that their evidence all flowed from one source.But will this hypothesis touch the dying statement of the deceased.The confession of Gregorio, unless it is to be discredited, may be held to exculpate everybody In particular, if Gregorio really inflicted a stab upon Harrington, it might be inferred that Peli-zzioni did not, fur the surgeon deposed that the wounds had all been produced by \u2018one stroke of the knife.\u2019 It is also certain not only that Gregorio was at tbe tavern but that he had a knife with him.This knife too, was traced to Gregorio, and was such a knife as might have in-fl.cted the wounds, but it was not bloody, though the blood might have been washed.Another knife, however, found outside the tavern, and presumed to be the knife employed, was also produced, and this was covered with blood, though, on the other hand, it bad no such point as the surgeon thought might have been required for the inflection of the wound.Such is a brief recital of these remarkable proceedings.The case against Pelizzioni was strong almost beyond precedent The case against Gregorio is of no great strength except from his own confession admits enough to include the whole crime, and is supported by testimony.W hoever killed poor Harrington killed him without the malice tbougn without provocation, but which of the stories is true, or whether the two are to be reconciled, we must leave to be elsewhere determined.THE LATE CARDINAL WISEMAN.Nicholas Wiseman was the son of the late Mr.James Wiseman, merchant, of Waterford and of Seville, in which latter city the late Cardinal was born on the 2d of August, 1802.The family of Wisemau is one of considerable antiquity, and they appear to have had lands in the county of Essex since the reign of Edward IV.Soon alter the Reformation Sir John Wiseman, who had been one of the Auditors of the Exchequer under Henry VIII., and was knighted for his bravery at the Battle of Spurs, acquired by purchase Much Oanfield-Pftrk iu that county.His grandson, William, who married into the noble family ot Capfil, aftSrwarda Bails of Essex, was created a baronet by King Charles I.in 1628, and a younger hrotber of the 2nd baronet was Lord Bishop of Dromore.The title has continued in a direct line of succession down to the prtsent time, and is now represented by Sir William Saltonstal^Wisemanjeighth.baronet, who is a captain in the \"Royal Navy.From a younger branch of this family the late cardinal traditionally claimed desent.His Eminence\u2019s mother, whose maiden name was Strange, and whose family, in spite of large confiscations of their properly under Oliver Cromwell, is still seated at Ayl-ward\u2019s Town Casile, in the county of Kilkenny, lived to see her sou elevated to a Cardinal s hat, and died full of years in 1851.Thongh born upon Spanish soil, young Nicholas Wiseman, when he was little more than five years old, was sent to England.He arrived at Portsmouth in January, 1808, in the Melpomene frigate, Captain Parker, and was sent, wnile still very young, to a boarding school at Waterford, in March, 1810, he was transferred thence to the Roman Catholic College of St.Outhbert, at Usbaw, near Durham, where he remained until 1818.In that year he obtained leave to quit Ushaw for Rome, where he arrived in the December of that year, and became one of the first members of the English College, then recently founded at Rome.In the next year he had the honour of preaching before the then Pope, Pius VII., and, having pursued with diligence the usual course of philosophical and theological studies, he maintained a public disputation on theology, and was created a Doctor of Divinity July 7, 1824, shortly before the completion of bis 22nd year.In the following Spring he received holy orders) apd in 1827 was nominated Professor of Oriental languages in the Roman University, being atttat time vice-Rector of the English College, to the Rectorship of which he was promoted in the year 1829.He had already distinguished himself, not merely as a theologian, but also as a scholar, for in 1827 he composed and printed a learned work, entitled Horn Syri-aeœ, chiefly drawn from Oriental manuscripts in the Library of the Vatican.In 1840 the late Pope Gregory XVI.increased the number of his Vicars Apostolic in England from four to eight, and Dr.Wiseman was appointed coadjutor to the late Bishop Walsh, then Vicar Apostolic of the Midland District, being elevated to the Presidency of St.Mary\u2019s College, Oscott, near Birmingham.While there he took the deepest inverest in the theological movement at Oxtord which is associated with the names of Dr.Newman and Dr.Pusey, and which has furnished Rome with such an abundant store of recruits.In 1848, on the death of Bishop Griffiths, Dr.Wiseman became Pro-Vicar-Apostolic of the London district, and subsequently was nominated coadjutor to Dr.Walsh, cum jure sue-cessionis, on the translation of that prelate to London.Bishop Walsh survived his translation but a short time, and on his death, in 1849, Bishop Wiseman succeeded him as Vicar Apostolic.The next stage in Dr.Wiseman\u2019s life is that which, as it has been more controverted than any other, so also is that by which his name will be longest remembered.In August, 1850, Bishop Wisemau was summoned to Rome, to the \u201cthreshold of the Apostles,\u201d by his Holiness Pope Pius IX., who on the 29th of the following September issued his celebrated \u201cApostolical Letter,\u201d re-establishing the Roman Catholic hierarchy in England, and Wales, at the same time issuing a \u201cBrief\u201d elevating Dr.Wiseman to the \u201cArchbishopric of Westminster.\u201d In.a private consistory, held the following day, the new \u201cArchbishop\u201d was raised by the Sovereign Pontiff to the dignity of a Cardinal Priest, the ancient churcu of St.Pudentiana, at Rome, in conformity with the ecclesiastical custom, being selected by him as his title.His Eminence was the seventh Englishman who has been elevated to the hat of a Cardinal since the Reformation, his predecessors in this respect having been Cardinal Pole, Cardinal Allen, Cardinal Howard, Cardinal York, Cardinal Weld, and Cardinal Acton.The name of Cardinal Wiseman was well known in that portion of the literary world which interests itself in controversy, as one of the most frequent and able contributors to the Dublin Review, of which he was ior some years the joint editor.The illness of which his Eminence has died has been of long standing, and when he left England for Rome in the spring of 1860, there were many of his friends who feared that they would see his face no more.But he lived to return to England, and to recover some portion of his former health.It is almost suoerfluous to add that his Eminence\u2019s loss will be severely telt among the English Roman Catholics, both lay and clerical, as he was nearly the only member of their body who had earned for himself a wide and lasting reputation tor ability and learning.Sozodont.\u2014This favorite article so extensive ly used for cleansing, beautifying and preserving the teeth, is advertised in another column The following

neither buyers nor sellers are completely reassured.The great interests which would be deeply compromised in the event of peace have received too great a shock to ba promptly overcome, and
