INITED STATES. NEW YORK, MARCH l& We have had two British celebrities here since I last wrote, Messrs. Cobden and Smith O'Brien. The latter was re'xived os landing by a deputation of his countrymen, and salutes from a brass cannon and a band of music, and has been feted as much as he would permit everywhere he went. Cobden, who has done for poor men the greatest work of the ap, carunnoticed, save by his private hien& difference, without meaning to depreciate Mr. ()Tinto in the least, illustrates capitally the value mankind place on noise as an element of patriotism. Smith °linen has been travelling through the country and devoting a good deal of attention es paasuret to the condition of his countrymen. I do not think he will find in it much that is very en couraging. The great mass of them have sot, so far es I can see, eery materially improved their condi tion, socially at least, by emigration. Physically, they are perhaps better off, though even in this re spect their life in the large clues is pretty much what it is in London or Dublin. They earn larger wages, but everything is dearer. The few that have a little capital and more west get on well. There is no prejudice against Irishmen as Irishmen which offers the least impediment to their prosperity; but the creed and mode of life and habits of the " low Irish " elicit almost as much dislike and contempt from the mass of the Ame rican public as they may be supposed to have elicited from Cromwell'a Ironsides. More incongruous elements it would be difficult to bring tot:ether than the jolly, reckless, good-natur ed , passionate, priest-ridden, whisky-loving, thrift less Paddy, and the cold, shrewd, frugal, correct, meetiug-going Yankee. There was a time when the Irish emigration was smell, and purely American influences predominated in the country—when the Irishman, at least of the second generation, lost most of the traces of has origin, and was absorbed iota the American population. But that time has pawed. 'fbe prodigious influx of Irish daring the last twenty years has crested a large Irish dais, apart fro a the rest of the people, poor, ignorant, helpless, and degraded, contemned by the Americans, used se tool.' by politicians of all parties, doing all the hard work and menial duties of the country, and filling the gaols and almshouses, almost to the exclusion of everybody else. \Vete the emigrants protestants, I think the American church organi sation, which is immensely powerful, would brought to bear as them. The religious public would feel itself responsible for their condition, and community of faith and strong religious sym pathies would probably wipe out all traces of tie old puritan contempt for the " Irish papist." Bat unhappi y, to other divisions between the new comers sod the old inhabitants is added the crown ing and damning one of difference of creed. The churches take but little interest in the half-barbarous stranger, for whom the priest is waiting on the shore the moment he leaves the ship • and the 'speculative Now Englander, who has been bred in a theological atmosphere, and whose intellect has been sharpened ever since he learnt to speak by contro versy on "tiled fate, free will, foreknowledge," ferns little brotherhood for thepoor Paddy, who never discussed a point of doctrine in his life. Fifty years ago, however, the l'iddy would ha* been sur rounded by a purely American society, and with his usual adaPtubility would soon have converted him-' self into a tolerable likeness of "a descendant of the pilgrims." Now this is no longer possible. As soon as tie arrives he is lost in the crowd of his country men, who encompass him in such numbers that his glimpses of American manners, morals, and religion are few and faint. The priests do ell in their power to encourage this elsonistiness and keep their flocks apart from the American population. They refuse, u far as pos sible, t i allow the Irish children to attend the com mon schools. Archbishop Hughes is vehemently opposed even to emigration to the west, because there the emigrants are scattered and isolated, and Ise able to resist the insidious advances of heresy. All the influence he possesses is exerted in keeping them together in masses in the large towns, where, though their life is miserable, their earnings pre carious, and their dwellings squalid and unhealthy, their spiritual wants are more closely attended to. The result is that the line of demarcation between the English colonist and the " mere Irish" of the seventeenth century in Ireland was hardly more strongly marked than that which to-day separates the Irish American from the native American, poli tical inequalities of course excepted. Emigration, instead, es is commonly supposed in England, of effacing all distinction, has traced it more deeply. The mass of Celts is now too large and unwieldy for American temperament to permeate it ; and I despair of any change for the better, until the supply of the raw material from the old country is so clucked as to allow the supply we already possess to become scattered and the native element to work upon it more freely . . As the matter stands at present, it forms a enemas subject foe the investigation ei th er of a politician or philanthropist. CANADA. --.- (1,10111 OCR OWN TORONTO, KAacn U. Since tie passage of the address the ministry have sustained two defeats in the upper house. That chamber has pronounced against the removal of the seat of government to Quebec, and the majority of its members threaten to refuse the supplies if the go vernment persist in that wasteful and unnecessary measure. This determination still keeps the meat of government question open. The selection of Ottawa was only sustained in the lower house by the log rolling operation of adding to it the removal to Quebec for four years, all the members for Loser Canada feeling confident that during that period the whole errangemeet would be upset. If the govern ment persist in the Quebec removal, the upper house may gees them serious trouble; if they abandon el nine, they may bid good by. to office, and the Queen's decision will be reversed. You see the con e/mance+ or the ridiculous,reference of this question to the imperial authority. The place selected can only be sustained by log-rolling, against which the good sense and crinolines' spirit of the upper hoes. protests. The position of the Mane on this question gives rite to many doubts as to the quiet working of responsible government, with two elective bodies. Bad the present circumstances arisen when the council was nominated by the crown, there would have been no trouble. The ministry having the power to swamp the upper chamber by new ap pointments, would have followed the opinion of the Assembly, and needed not have dreaded any serious trouble host the nominated body. Now it is Milanese The councillors represent toe people as well ati the Assembly men. A portion have twin elected, in fact, since the last general election, end they are not likely to yield their Views on any important subject to any authority what ever. Ou this very matter of the seat of gams ment there will probable be a dead lock ; and what are the ministry to do ? Which house shall they stand by ? which shall they contemn? You will admit that this is • very difficult problem to solve. It was !'orteeen when the Elective Cuuucil measure was 'muted, and some members voted for it with Mae view or making the executive also elective. That will probably be the end of it, foe there are few who now think that the system which places the cabinet in the legislature to control its opera tions will ever succeed in this country. We have no class hers for ministen independent in circles stances, who, rather than do a wrong thing, will &leaden the emoluments of office. The result is that the cabinet corrupts the parliament with favours to individuals and favour, to constituents in order to retain their plans, and that our debt and our anneal es p.ndttur* have been doubled in four years.

BRITISH COLUMBIA. ••••.--• (MOM OCR OWN CON VICTORIA, Jen. 10. The influence of public feeling, and the strong expression of public opinion, has for the nonce over borne the via inertie of 'masterly inactivity, and her Majesty's ship Plumper, with all the Marines and Blue Jackets that could be spared from the Satellite, together with her own, was despatched from Fort Langley this morning to co-operate with the Lieute nant-Governor, Colonel Moody, in suppressing the anarchy and lawless violence which resulted from the unconstitutional system of government nnfortu , nately establiahed in British Columbia. It is to be hoped the reinforcement may get forward without any detention, for a little troop of five and twenty men even encircled with the halo of regal authority and the prestige of British military valour, is not only manifestly insufficient to cops with several hundred hardy, daring vagabonds, armed at all points, but absolutely calculated, from the vast disparity . of means, to encourage the spirit of rebellions In subordination which has prevailed in the Upper Frazer since the discovery of gold there. However, I have great faith in the effects of moral demonstra tion, promptly exercised, with the vigour said to be a leading trait of Colonel Moody's character ; and I cannot believe that • gang of lawless desperadoes, even with a certainty of temporary triumph, will venture to resist the small force brought ageinst them, with the inevitable retribu tion from British might looming . in the distance, the attractions of their rich claims IMMO diately before them. I em, therefore, quite firmly persuaded that atonement will be offered, that good order will be established, and that fair pro mises for the future will be tendered, without the shedding of any blood; and I sincerely trust that no time will be wasted, and no false scruples be allowed to prevent or retard thr a single day the radical subversion of the incoherent and rumen stitutioned policy to which all those disgraosfal dis turbances are most palpably traceable. If we cannot get on without au infusion of the American element, why, then give us the pure, unadulterated Down- East article, for the genuine Jonathan is a man to be respected in the teeth of his peculiarities, while tie time-serving renegade is a felon to be kept at amab length.
