given before U - _m,-.Vv riv.rpiYnr«fln.v Kvem Why Canada has Receded.\u2014The Globe devotes a portion of its columns to a consideration of some of the causes that have led to the existing depression in Canada.It says : \u201c That the Avar in the United States injuriously affected Canada is beyond question.We might assume this \u2018Apriori\u2014the vast trade between our neighbours and ourselves being of such a kind as required a state of peace in order to be healthy and prosperous.And we know, as a matter of fact, that the drain upon their resources for war purposes, the engaging in military pursuits of hundreds of thousands of able-bodied men, the depreciation of the currency and the general insecurity felt on both sides, all tended to unsettle and lessen the business done.This was the case between Canada and the United States.Another phase of the evil, however, may be designated as purely internal or local.In view of possible rupture between the two countries, Canadians have been backward in making those improvements and engaging in those enterprises which a state of peace would have warranted, and which the advancement of the Province demanded.Farm-ÇilJïÇuld,,not.ÊteSMWYGjgnJ0oiif\" vmnrShy scheme out of the common routine was hinted at.Foreigners who had large investments in the Province, embraced every favourable opportunity of withdrawing their funds to a quieter neighbourhood, and those here who had spare money took good care not to put it to any use which would have kept it beyond their control for any length of time.Hence the unprecedented deposits in the hanks and other large moneyed institutions.It is said that about twenty-seven millions of dollars have been thus locked up\u2014some recoverable on demand, the rest at a short notice.This tells a significant tale.\u201d This means say some of our contemporaries, who quote the above, that in order to be prosperous, we must continue to be on good terms with our neighbours.It means, moreover, that those have done the worst turn to Canada, who have been persistently persuad-ing the world that we were almost sure not to remain at peace, and that, whether we do so or not, we must involve ourselves for security, against war in most of the evils which war would entail upon us\u2014that we must as Cow-per\u2019s sheep expressed it to the other muttons \u201c To save our lifes leap all into the pit.\u201d I or some time our able contemporary the Globe lent its powerful assistance to stem this current of mischievous nonsense.But as part of the compact, in virtue of which its proprietor joined the Ministry, he and it became bound to lend their voices to swell the; cry.Thus, it was, that during the weary weeks of the debate on the Confederation scheme, we saw one after another of the speakers on the Ministerial side get up and vehemently proclaim, that something of a revolutionary kind must be done to save the country, and that the only choice was between Confederation and Annexation.0 n that side of the house, swelled by the large contingent which Mr.Brown took over with him\u2014as Mexican Generals have taken half the army to which they belonged over to the enemy in the moment of battle\u2014there was a constant reiteration of an opinion that we could not remain as we were, quietly developing our resources in peace, and under our own constitution.We were bound to overturn everything that had been established ; to spend a great deal more than our income or possible income, on subjects of doubtful utility even for their ostensible purpose, and which in any case could yield no pecuniary return to cover them as investments of capital ; and having thus proved to capitalists that this was the worst place to which they could bring their money ; we were to tell the labouring emigrant from the British islands, who might on the other side of the lines have his option of protection from military service as a foreigner, or take his chance of such service with a free grant no land, at any rate, ana \u2022\u2022\t- ¦ bound to military service, with a great probability of being called on to give it under the most trying circumstances.We trust that the Globe and its proprietor will now see the unwisdom of having yielded to this subversive folly.What it says above is true, and there were facts beyond the control of any one winch might alarm timid people as to our condition ; but for us to raise our own voices to create a panic against ourselves, and to repeat for weeks together to all the world that we could not remain in our present political condition ; but must adopt a new scheme, previously condemned by its authors as mischievous, in order to prevent annexation to the United States\u2014to do this was as sensible as it would be for a banker at a moment of crisis to cry out that he was in difficulty, and to expose his weakness by remodelling his firm for the avowed reason that unless he did so he must close his doors.What we wanted to meet the difficulties of our position was quiet, economy, and that expression of confidence in the continuance of peace, which would have made others confident also.The official mind, including the Globe, since it became an exponent of the official mind, has decreed turmoil, unheard of changes, and a series of alarms.The consequence has of course been, to add [unnecessarily to.CORRESPONDENCE.DR.PECK\u2019S SEANCE MUSICALE.To the Editor of the Montreal Herald.Sir,\u2014I have just read the notice in Saturday\u2019s Gazette of the Seance Musicale, which was given on the previous Thursday evening at the Normal School House, the whole responsibility of which, we are told, devolved upon Dr.James Peck.It was very kind in Dr.Peck, no doubt, to take so much trouble to give the citizens of Montreal so'recherche an entertainment on paper, gratis, as was laid before them in bis programme, but it is one thing to string together a few fine pieces of music on paper, and quite another to render them in such a style as to make them pleasing to the ear of a general audience, or gratifying to the judgment and taste of a highly cultivated amateur or professional player.As to Dr.Peck\u2019s ability as a composer or poet I can really say nothing,for I have never studied his compositions either in one line or the other, hut as a Pianist, I think I may venture an opinion, and it is this : That so far as his playing went at the Seance Musicale there never was written a more undeserved piece of flattery than is contained in the article in the Gazette, which I am now replying to.The fugues which he played were rendered in a quite a school-boy style ; and as to Mendelshon\u2019s Lieder Ohne Worte and Chopin\u2019s beautiful Impromptu and Waltz, the style they were played in was positively terrific to any well-cultivated ear that had ever heard those beautiful pieces performed by persons of Yvhose ability to play them well, there could really be no doubt.The Gazette gives Dr.Pech credit for possessing a \u201cluscious vein of melody and harmony\u201d\u2014a \u201c delicate, elastic and poetical touch pourtraying sentiment and beauty \u201d\u2014and a variety of other heavenly musical qualities, but as to myself I confess I failed to perceive them, nor did any one else perceive them of my acquaintance who was present on the eventful evening at the Seance.In a word, I and.many other musical friends, whom I have consulted were all alike disappointed with the Doctor\u2019s performances, and we all agree that he would do well, fat thg future, ing and teaching.\tJ ' I do not write these lines out of a malicious feeling to injure the Doctor, for I assure you I have no such feeling, hut I write and publish them as a kind of protest against the fulsome panegyric which has been put forth in the Gazette, and to assure the Doctor that the sentiments and opinions therein uttered are not generally concurred in, but quite the reverse.Yours, &c., CRITIC.FEROCIOUS DOGS.To the Editor of the Montreal Herald.Sir,\u2014Have we a law that will enable the police to shoot every dog found in Montreal without a collar having thereon the name and address of the owner ?If we have not, the sooner we have it the better.The other day a lady riding up the St.Lawrence Main street was attacked by a dog and had her habit tom to shreds.Yesterday at my own door a valuable and favorite little dog brought from England by me, was seized by a large dog, whose teeth penetrated through the skin and flesh, entering the lungs and causing death in a few hours afterwards.Will the Mayor do anything for us, or shall wc protect ourselves with revolvers, and defend ourselves from the Yvild beasts that run about the streets Î Your obedient servant, ONE OF RAB\u2019S FRIENDS.St.James Club, 3rd May, 1865.Court of General Sessions of tl.c Pence.JUNE TERM.fifteen\tcl'icket match between 4, he 2°th and
