The opening of the Canadian Parliament on the Bth of this month has enabled Lord MO AK to give public expression to the feelings of the Government, and their view of the Fenian disturbances. The Parliament assembled for the first time at Ottawa, the new seat of Government, a circumstance which gave especial interest to the assembly. In all pro bability the Parliament of Ottawa will yet play an important part in the history of the world. Its influence on the great Western hemisphere is not to be measured even by the present position or progress of Canada, since we have as yet only read the first chapters of her national history. The recent disturbances hare abundantly proved that the Canadians inherit the spirit and the patriotism of their race, and it only needs energy, enterprise, and perseverance to develop the natural wealth of:their country and its magnificent ca p a bili t i es. The Br i t i sh North American provinces contain within themselves the elements of an empire, which might throw the proudest nations of Europe into the shade • while the population, what ever t h eir national defects or shortcomings, are saved from many of the in ternal dangers . which have weakened their great neighbour by their attachment to the old constitu tional traditions of the mother country. They have not had to contend a ga i nst the evils of internal conflict, or the predomina nce of reckless factions, but have accepted England as their model, and have endeavoured to imitate her form of Government and manner of legislation. Like all young states they have had difficulties to strive against, and have always the shadow of a Powerful neighbour in their close vicinity, but the dangers and alarms of the last few pars have proved in the end advantageous to them, by rousing the national spirit and calling out in them the self-reliance and decision, the independence and patriotism, which might otherwise have slumbered too long. The long continuance of the American W ar also directed attention to the advantages of the Confederation scheme, and although this was for a time delayed by the influ ence of Fenianism in thei r xe, Brunswi c k sc h eme , final adoption is only a matter of time. The address of Lord MOCK at the inauguration of his Parliament in its new and magnificent habi tation was therefore something very different from the ordinary platitudes of similar occasions. Re had to report to them fhe ocial proceedings du r i ng the recess, which included the convocation of the Council of Trade representing the different pro vinces. The proceedings of this body, and the result of its deliberations on the commercial affairs of the country are, to be laid before the Par liament. The changes of the last few years have greatly affected the trade of Canada, and although it is very probable they may subse!rontly tend. to Increase and develops it the transition -state requires attention and forethought. " It has now," said Lord MoNcK, " become still more impera tive to open, by an extension of the trade of the country with other nations, new markets for the varied products of our industry." He has, therefore, with the approval of the Home Government, sent:a deputation to the West Indies and to Brazil, with a view of ascertaining the best means of extending commercial relations with those countries. In this the Canadian Government has done wisely, since the American provinces like the mother country, must look for their wealth and influence to commerce, not to war. They have shown, indeed, that they do not lack for m artial spirit if occasion requires ; but the real secret of fortune and success with a land of such vast natural resources must be found in the less noisy but more solid and substantial resources of trade and commerce. The monopoly of the Hudson's Bay Company cannot be suffered to continue much longer, so that the extent of vast and fertile land open to the enterprise of the colonists will before long be greatly increased. The termination of the Reciprocity Treaty, like the raids of the Fenians, will probably be of good service to the Canadians by driving them to extend their commerce in other directions, and to open up new channels for the export of their products. The Americans will be fore long find out their mistake; but, in the mean time, the Canadians cannot afford to wait their leisure, and their commerce is far too important to be despised. Lord MONCK observed in his speech that its results during the past year had been so satisfactory that the revenue had been largely in excess of the estimate, so that he had been enabled to provide without inconvenience for the heavy and unexpected charges entailed upon the country by the recent events. Naturally the pre parations which have been thought necessary for the defence of the country have been costly enough, but, as Lord MONCK has reminded his hearers, the events which had occurred just prior to their meet ing gave additional proof of their neces sity. The Governor- General warmly thanked the people for the spirit and readiness with which they had responded to his Proclamation, and while expressing his regret for the loss of some of the gallant volunteers, he con gratulated the country that the first note of danger should have shown their mettle. "The entire people," he added, " have been thoroughly aroused by recent occurrences, and it must now be apparent to all that the whole resources of the country, both men and means, will at any moment be cheerfully given to repelling any invasion of their homes." This is of itself a powerful protection to the colo nists, and it shows that they are well worthy of the cordial co-operation promised them by the British Government. The Governor-General, after referring to some important public measures to be submitted to the Legislature, concluded by expressing his well founded hope that the next Parliament which should assemble at Ottawa would not be confined to the representatives of Canada alone, but would include members from all the British colonies. Immediately after the Governor's speech the bill suspending the Habeas Corpus Act was introduced, and passed through both houses without discussion ; and thus, in spite of wars and tumults, the Parlia ment of Ottawa has opened under encouraging auspices of political unity and patriotism. Notwithstanding the time that has passed we are still quite uncertain of the movements of the Aus trians, and no decisive engagement has taken place. the contest seems likely to commence by an en gagement between the Prussians and the Federal troops in the vicinity of Cassel. 'rhe former are endeavouring to surround thd ilanoverians at Got tingen, and the troops of the Federals are hastening to relieve them. The chief object to which the attention of Austria is directed seems to be the capture of Silesia, and in a short time there can be little doubt that that province will be the scene of a struggle between the two great German Powers. Marshal BENEDEK'S address to the army is very good, and seems to be replete with spirit, and to inspire confidence by its trust. " Every man, without distinction of name or position, shall be promoted whenever he shall distinguish himself on the field of battle." It may turn out that the Prussians have gone too far in their attempts to seize so many places, and that they may find them selves surrounded, instead of cutting off the retreat of others as they intended. Great reliance must be placed upon the strength of Austria, whose forces are all prepared, and when concentrated upon any given point will be sure to do great damage to the adversary. The Saxon troops have now entirely evacuated the kingdom of Saxony, and will of course join the Federal forces. Dresden is now in the hands of the Prussians, who consider it a great prize evidently, and are engaged in throwing up earthworks before it and erecting batteries. News reached Paris yes terday of au engagement having taken place, in which the Prussians were defeated, but subsequent despatches that arrived afterwards seemed to con tradict it ; it adds greatly to the anxiety and ex citement of those who are watching events that all details connected with the Austrians seem so un certain and confused for some time after they reach us. Under these circumstances it is cheering and encouraging to dwell upon the spirited addross of Marshal BENEDEK, and to note those passages in which he refers particularly to the need for the determination that exists. If his plans are carried out, and his advice followed, there can be little doubt that success will crown the efforts of his troops. His risolve that - the troops shall not go to the field of battle unnecessarily laden is an excel lent one, and does credit to his judgment. His object is that they " may throw themselves with rapidity upon the heavily - laden enemy." The officers also are to discontinue their scarfs, and the "useless insignia of their rank, which but renders them too distinguishable in action." Marshal BEMEDEK has great confidence in his own troops, while at the same time he has prescience enough to understand the disadvantages which impede the cause of the enemy. One por tion of their forces consists of troops of the line, comprising young men not inured to fatigue and privations ; and another division contains those who arc doubtful and dissatisfied, and « rather than fi g ht against us will pref er the downfall of their Government." it is quite impossible to divine th a et n a e cti d cs is o cl f os A e lar t s hm h e a B l ; butENE- DEN, and time can alone the probability seems to be that some counter-movement of his ow n , I he e ismeditating and the war may soon take a different direction to a n y that tho Prussian commanders at first dreamed of. If this be not the cage, it is difficult indeed to decide what causes the delay of the Austrian troops in coming to the rescue of the Saxons. They must surely have some motive, or else their conduct is extraordinary and mistaken in the highest degree. accordingly w ene Circular s seem to be the order of the day every where, an d th h is very meet w with one from the Hanoverian Government , much to the point, and sets forth the conduct of Prussia war created by in its true light. The case of an illegal and arbitrary Prussia is characteri se d as act, which it most assuredly is ; and if one thing can make it worse than another it is the line of action which they have pursued towards Hanover, Saxony, and other ruined States. It is marked by a policy at once cruel and vindictive, and what ever be the issue of the war, it will for ever dishonour the character of Prussian statesmen, and disclose the principles upon which they act. The sympathies of Europe are with these unfortunate States, which seemed threatened with destruction because they have refused to conform to unheard-of demands ; and, as this Circular states, the " Hano verian Government, with its army, occupies a posi tion of necessary defence against a lawless and un heard-of attack upon its independence and honour." We do not see how, under any circumstances, the demands of Prussia could have been com plied with ; and all we can do is to hope that the skill and strength of Austria may prove equal to the occasion, and the mean and unworthy con duct of the Berlin Government may be covered with the defeat and the disgrace which they deserve. The King of HANOVER has issued an address from the head-quarters of the army, in which he declares that he has upheld the independence of his king dom, and implores his people to be firm and true, looking for better times. If it were possible for the reputation of Prussia to fall lower, certainly the events which have ushered in this German war would assuredly have done so ; for we can trace in their conduct a desire for plunder and spoliation, and a restless seeking after aggrandisement of ter ritory, which bodes ill for the safety and security of their neighbours. The attention of Europe now centres itself on Austria, and that nation has, in deed, enormous responsibilities upon it at this critical juncture. The English Government has compromised itself seriously in favour of Prussian interests, and the policy of France is doubtful, so that the Government of Vienna may be said to stand alone in a war which, nevertheless, deeply affects the interests of all, and upon whose issue will depend the progress and prosperity of all nations. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. We have had all sorts of reports to-day at the Bourse, but, considering that war has really begun prices are better supported than might have been anticipated. Someexplain this by saying that cer tain speculators have been playing for war and a fall for several months, and they have now changed their tactics, and are playing for peace and a rise. As such important errors are sometimes made by the telegraph, I think it right to give you a literal translation of the introductory paragraph of the re markable article in the Moniteur explanatory of the policy of France, particularly as the deduction made from it by some of the Paris papers is that the Em peror knew there would be war when he wrote the letter to M. Drouyn de I'Huys. This is the intro duction to the article :—" The armed conflict which the Government of the Emperor endeavoured to prevent, in concert with the other Great Powers, not German, became inevitable when it was neces sary to renounce the hope of a European Confe rence (deliberation)." M. Lavigerie, Bishop of Nancy, has been ap pointed member of the Imperial Council of Public Instruction, in the room of M. Parisis, Bishop o f Arras, lately deceased. A suburban railway has been projected, which promises to be of much use and convenience to the Parisians. The Paris station will be on the Boule vard de Clichy, near the ancient barrier, and from thence the line will form a junction with the short railway of the Docks of St. Orien. Crossing the Seine at St. Orion, the railway will traverse the rich communes of Gennevilliers, Epinay, Corneilles, Montigny, Jouy-le-Aloutier, and Andres, and from thence to be carried to Triel. The length will be about 33 kilometrs?s. A branch line will connect it with Pontoise. This will be the most important local line of the department of the Seine et Oise. A certain Monsieur Nicolas Feter, of Dijon, is, it appears, not only an inveterate hater of dogs, but he has written a pamphlet— " The Extinction of the Canine Race." In this pamphlet he argues in favour of little short of the destruction of all those faithful animals. The author sent his work to no less a personage than Marshal Vaillant, Minister of the Emperor's House hold, and a great patron of the Fine Arts. That gentleman, however, so far from partaking of the author's views in regard to dogs, has written him a letter, half playful, half serious, in which he says, •' I have a horror of this new massacre of the innocents which you propose. I have a horror of another St. Bartholomew of dogs. What ! You would kill the dogs of Ulysses, the old blind dog which recognised his master after an absence of more than twenty years, and which makes a last effort to come again and lick his hand. Pardon, sir, pardon for Argos, do not kill him. He dies from excess of joy—let him die of happiness. You would kill the young Toby's dog which came from snch a distance to announce to Toby's blind father the approaching termination of all his misfortunes. Would you kill that courageous dog of Montarges without leaving him time to denounce the assassin of Aubry de Montdidier, his master, and to compel Richard Macaire to confess his crime. Would you kill Tido, Jocelyn's dog, which inspired Lamartine when he wrote those delicious verses which can only be read with moistened eyes ? Would you kill the Chieu du Regiment, the Chieu du Convoi clu Paudre, the chieu of Newfoundland, and the chieu of Mont St. Bernard ?" " Would you," adds Marshal Valiant, " Kill Nero ?" I may explain that Nero is a favourite dog of the Emperor, which goes with him everywhere, and which sleeps in the same room with him. It was only the other day that Nero went with the Emperor to witness the experiments with the warlike missiles which I mentioned, and Nero's playfulness, attach ment, and varied feats, excited almost as much interest as the experiments themselves. There was great consternation at Court some months ago, for, nowithstanding the vigilance with which he is watched, Nero strayed away, and to this day I believe nobody knows where he went to. In another part of his letter, Marshal Vaillant says, " Would you carry your rage upon the dog, which is crouched at my feet watching the hand with which this is written to you, his eyes fixed upon mine, and reading in them the indignation with which I am animated against you?" Soon after the commencement of the trial for murder and piracy on board the Faderis Arca, the deposition of an apprentice named Chicot was read, which contains some frightful particulars of the murder of the captain and the second officer, Aubert. " Nobody can give you the details of the murders so well as I," said Chicot, " for I witnessed every act, but I was afraid to assist the victims, as the crew threatened to throw me into the sea." The witness said he could not tell how many stabs Aubert re ceived, for he was covered with wounds. He was not quite dead when the carpenter, Daoulas, and Carbuccia, the Corsican, threw him into the sea. They had just " finished" Aubert when the captain came up. The mutineers told him they meant to throw him into the sea in the same way as they had d in o s n u e lt w ed ith hi h m is , officer. kicked hi m , an d sta bb e d hi m i n t h e They disarmed the captain, side. Lenard, one of the assassins, said, "To the sea, to the sea ; are all lost if vf , e don't throw him in." The captain swam for a few minutes when he was thrown into the sea. His last words were—" Dieu coils conduise, mais volts aurez 1. cou cove." A letter from the special correspond h eentoft he Siecle at Berlin, dated June 18 , says, ~T appoint ment of M. de Bennigsen, chief of the National verein, as Governor-General of Hanover, is spoken of as likely to take place. It was also reported that there would be a convocation of a new Chamber in Hanover, to replace that which the King dissolved before his departure." King George, after variows marches and countermarches, returned yesterday evening to his residence at Herrenhausen, but no thing could induce him to agree to M. Bismarck's project of Reform, and he had embarked with the Prince Royal for England. It was said that the Southern States intended to march their armies, under the command of Prince Philippe of Hesse, against the Prussians at Cassel. So the valley of. the Fulda is likely to become the theatre of military events. According to the Unita Italiana, just received in Paris, a report was prevalent at Florence that a society of English bankers had offered to the Italian Government two millions sterling, under certain conditions, to carry on the war. The taste for foreign productions sometimes leads to strange mistakes. When the Chinese mission passed through some of the towns of France, and also a while at Paris, a great sensation was produced by the beauty of their silk dresses. Some of the spectators regretted that the Chinese beat French manufacturers, the patterns and shades of the silk were so beautiful. The ProgrLs of Lyons says— " This admiration was very legitimate. These silks, supposed to be Chinese, were manufactured at Lyons." A beautiful picture, by Tony Robert Fleury, which was very much admired at the late Exhibi tion, " The Massacre of the Poles at Warsaw on the Bth of April, 1861," has been purchased for 20,000 f. by a Polish emigrant, Count Xavier Braniski. M. Henri Magniant, an eminent sculp tor, has just died in Paris, aged 42. At the first day's races at Montauban, the prize of the Council General, 1,000 f., for horses of three years old and upwards (gentlemen riders) was won by M. Janicot's Balafre, ridden by M. R. de Sevin. The horses entered for the Grand Prix du Midi at Toulouse (June 24, 26, and 28), are—Le Sioulet, Cantiniere, Mira, Cinna, Marietta, Radamah, and Stilton. It is said that Prince Achille Murat has bought all the race horses belonging to M. Vaillant, with the exception of Africain, which remains the property of Mr. Riddell. Reaumur's thermometer to-day reached 40 deg. in the shade. A Brussels paper states that since the re-appear ance of the cholera in that city there were in 17 days 35 cases-15 men and 20 women. Of these 16 died-7 men and 9 women. The New Atlantic Cable. Early in the next month a fresh attempt will be commenced to connect the New World with the Old by a telegraphic cord laid in the depths of the Atlantic, an attempt which seems on the present occasion more than ever to merit success, if deter mined perseverance and careful precaution joined to the utmost skill can achieve their just re ward. The progress which has been made in the science of ocean telegraphy since the failure of the first attempt to maintain a telegraphic communica tion with America may be in some degree under stood when we consider that the expedition shortly about to sail is intended not only to lay down a new cable, but to remedy the last failure and convert it into a success by grappling the last laid cable, where it now lies at a depth of nearly four miles at the bottom of the ocean, raising it to the surface, join ing it on to what was at first a part of it, and thus completing the communication with Newfoundland both by it and the new cable. The preparations for this great expedition are now on the eve of completion. The Great Eastern lies at Sheerness, where she is taking in the last portion of the cable. It is constructed on the same principle as that which now lies at the bottom of the Atlantic, but certain improvements have been effected in the details, the result of which is that it is stronger than the former one, having a breaking strain of no less than eight tons, and yet at the same time lighter and more flexible. These are advantages which there is no difficulty in estimating as of considerable importance. Besides the machinery for paying out the cable, machinery for picking it up if needed is prepared at both tha bow and stern of the ship. The machinery for paying out is but little altered, but it has been to some extent remodelled ; the gear has been strengthened, and any portions which have been found defective or injured by wear have been taken out and replaced. Close aft of the paying -out machinery the new machine for picking up the cable is being erected. It will be worked by a pair of cylinders of 70 horse-power, constructed by Messrs. John Penn and Son, of Greenwich. The steam for working these will be supplied from the boilers of the marine engines. The picking-up machinery is en tirely new, and is somewhat different from that which was formerly employed, though similar in principle. In the machine used on the former occasion the cable in course of being taken in passed four times round a large drum, and the principal difference between that machine and the new one is that two drums are employed, so that in passing round these four times the strain is spread over a large area. These drums are worked by spur wheels of immense strength, the ' gear of which is of 5-inch pitch, and calculated to endure a strain of 30 tons, which is the calculated resisting power of the grappling cable. It is not ex pected that the strain at the stern, in case of having to pick up the cable, can ever rise to six tons, more especially as Mr. Smith, the electrician, will on this occasion be enabled to keep up a constant test for continuity of current, as well as a constant test of insulation during the paying out, instead of merely applying these tests periodically, as on the last voy age. Hence, if a fault should occur in the cable, this will be speedily discovered, if not at the moment any defect arises, at least almost immediately after the defective portion of the cablehas been immersed in the water, and thus there will not be any proba bility of having to pick up any considerable length of cable. The picking-up machinery at the bow is precisely similar to that at the stern, worked by similar cylinders, to be supplied in like manner with steam from the engine boilers ; care has also been taken to guard against the possibility of the cable coming in contact at any time with the screw or rudder. For this purpose a large guard, styled a crinoline guard, has been constructed, and is about being fastened on at the stern below the water. It consists of a number of strong iron bars, braced to gether by stout rings, or rather semicircles of iron, so as to form a species of cage round the lower part of the stern. The Great Eastern also, on this occa sion, takes out several buoys, some of which are of a very large size, so that if the weather became so rough as to necessitate their cutting and buoying the cable, it would not be a matter of much diffi culty to recover it. H.M.S. Terrible will accompany this expedition as she did the former one, to render any assistance in her power ; and two large steamers—the Albany and Medway—are to accompany the large ships as ten ders. Both these vessels are fitted with picking-up machinery—that on board the Albany being of the old kind with a single drain, while that of the Medway is like the machinery on board the Great Eastern, one with the double drum. There will, therefore, probably be a good opportunity on this occasion for deciding on the relative merits of the two plans, as each machine is calculated to resist the same strain, viz., 30 tons. The Albany as well as the Medway takes a quantity of cables and other mat ters to assist in picking up the old cable, and the Medway also takes out 450 miles of cable, which will of course be transferred to the Great Eastern to lay down when needed. We understand that Sir John Peter Grant, K.C.8., late Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, will bo the new Go vernor of Jamaica. WRECK IN CARMARTIIEN BAY. FERRYSIDE, Carmarthen Bay, June 21.—During a strong wind from N.W., a few days since (says Capt. A.rengo Cross), intelli gence was received here th a t a ship was on shore on the Cefn Sidan Sands, about seven miles from this lifeboat station. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution, named the City of Manchester, was thereupon at once launched and proceeded to the wreck. On arriving along side it was found that the crew of soven men were making preparations to leave the vessel in their own boat, and the lifeboat thereupon towed the ship's boat safely to land through a heavy ground sea. The vessel was a three masted schooner, the Mary Eoe, of Quebec, bound from Liverpool to Canso, with salt and coals. She is likely to become a total wreck.

A Prussian corps coming from Saxony has been sent to prevent the junction of the Hanoverians with the Federal army, and has orders to join the troops of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, commanded by the Duke of Coburg. The Prussians continue to fortify themselves before Dresden. The movements of General Benedek are kept very secret. Up to the present nothing more than recon naissances appear to have been made by the Aus trians in Upper Silesia. VIENNA, June 22.

Foreign-office, June 21. THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS. Rumour, with her thousand tongues, was busy this morning in the principal clubs at the -West end as to the result of the division on Lord Dunkellin's amendment on the Reform Bill. Re signation and dissolution have both been very freely discussed during the last few days, but the theory started this morning was the reconstruc tion of the Ministry of Earl Russell, and a dissolution. Various persons have been men tioned as about to join the Ministry. Amongst them Sir W. Page Wood, who, it is said, is to be the new Lord Chancellor. Matters must remain in suspense until the arrival of her Majesty at Wind sor, which will not be before early on Tuesday morning, when Earl Russell will seek an immediate interview with the Queen, the result of which will be first made known to the public in both Houses of Parliament that evening. However, notwith standing the vast amount of twaddle that has been written about the matter, the solution of the diffi culty will, we fell assured, be nearly if not entirely in accordance with the statement, published in the late edition of The Sun on Tuesday evening. THE LONGEST DAY OF THE PRESENT YEAR (Thursday) was the longest day of the present year, 1866. The sun rose at 44.3 a.m. and set at 20.8 p.m. The length of the day was 16 hours, 36 minutes. The wind was due south at noon. The moon has entered the • second quarter. LITERATURE. A Life's Love. By the author of " Heiress of the Blackburufoot." Two Vols. Smith, Elder, and Co. Few things are more agreeable to the critic (whose task, be it said, is not always an agreeable one), few things are more delightful than to notice the rapid development and improvement of an author's powers since the production of some former work. Such au improvement we are glad to re mark in the literary labours of the author of the " Heiress of the Blackburnfoot." That former work hardly led the reader to anticipate the conspicuous merit which is visible in this new production. " A Life's Love " is not only an interesting and attractive story, bat it is delightfully told, and is a book which is likely to do good while it amuses. The scene is laid in Scotland a hundred years ago, and the prevailing charac teristics of that period, both as regards men and manners, are very vividly portrayed. The ostensible heroine is Elison Erskine, the orphan heiress of Erskineland, the last of th• Erskines. The ancient pride of birth, so consonant with the feudal spirit of the north, is stoutly maintained by the young Elison and the venerable Mrs. Cranford, and their various relatives and dependants. A different spirit, how ever, had begun to manifest itself in the good city of Glasgow, where, in 1766, the "tobacco lords" rolling in wealth, held an aristocracy of their own. Foremost among these merchant princes is Andrew Ramsay, a self-made man, whose great anxiety is to disguise his mother tongue and soften the broad Scottish dialect, and whose ambition is to make a gentleman of his soldier-son, Angus Ramsay. Contrasted with the proud and ambitious Ramsays is the humbler family of honest John M'Farlane, a shop keeper and silk-mercer, but, like John Halifax, oie of nature's gentlemen. Stringent as the etiquette which separates the Spanish grandee from men of meaner mould were the social rules and regula tions which divided the Ramsays froth the M'Far lanes. SNVFF-BROWN AND SCARLET. A true merchant prince was Andrew Ramsay, and be and his brethren, the " Tobacco Lords," reigned over Glasgow of 1777 with a more than princely rule. For old mother Clyde had so bestirred herself to give her sons a fair start in life that many of them bad come to be the chief merchants of this dear little queen island of the seas. It is said of one of them that "he traded yearly for above half a million sterling." It is no great wonder to our poor human nature that our " Tobacco Lords" were ex ceeding proud " should strut, an' stare, an' a' that." Moreover, they wore scarlet cloaks, cocked hats, and golden-headed canes, while bumbler men wore snuff brown coats and continuations, with handsome com fortable white woollen stockings to the knee, which last article must have got fearfully splashed in our streets of 1777. When a snuff-brown coat met a scarlet cloak it drew together about the shoulders and slipped past, a strange living expression of "by your honour's leave" in every crease. Sometimes the scarlet cloak strutted past, the eyes of the wearer having an elevation of 90 degs., or thereby. Sometimes it said, " How d'ye do ?' superciliously, and sometimes it stood still, to shake hands and have quite a friendly " crack" in a lordly way. The snuff-brown coat was only cast down when the scarlet passed by, only content when it gave however supercilious a greeting, and only delighted when it shook hands and had a "crack." Snuff-brown never quarrelled with scarlet, act as it would. What a strange place Glasgow must have been a hundred years ago ! And then it had only one pavement, the " plainstanes " by name. And a very fine thing they considered it. It was under the piazzas, in front of the public offices near the Cross. Hero all the scarlet cloaks paraded, talking over merchandise and politics, inside of a double row of cannon set on end like a rustic paling. Outside the cannon passed the peaceably-disposed " snuff-browns," though I dare say sonic more ambitious obtruded themselves on the " plain stanes," and looked hard to get some sign of recognition from the great men. Very little does it trouble John M'Farlane on which side of the road his path may lie. His young son chafes at his moderation, and urges him to walk upon " the plainstanes." His father locked at him and smiled. " It's never been my way in life, John, to take the crown o' the causey. Them that would keep it maun fight for it I slip my ways past in peace. And we save ourselves a deal of vexation, John, by keeping the place we naturilly fall into. When our Lord marked how they chose out the chief rooms at feasts, he said, 'When thou art bidden, goand sit down in the lowest room, that when he that bade thee coine', he may say unto thee, friend, go up higher. That's not only a lesson in religion, John, it's good world wisdom. If they shouldn't say go up higher, they can scarce say go down lower." Far less happy in his pride is Andrew Ramsay as he sits at the head of his princely table, with " a splendidly got-up footman" taking note of his short comings, and " looking sublimely unobservant." Oh, the misfortune of the man who has made the too too Joany thousands that tempt him to keep a finer gentle-, man than himself standing behind his chair ! While by wise saws and homely adages he seeks to spur on his lads that it's "so amazing to see what they are, and to think how he began ;" while he prides himself innocently on his bonny lasses that are "so wonderful considering ;" while he addresses the wife of his bosom—who began with him so humbly and with him has run so well—in the kindly Scottish idiom, that fellow, who has been accustomed to lords and ladies, is sneering at him ; sneering at him, so he cannot raise his eyes while he stands in front of him ; sneering at him, so he feels it all down his spinal marrow while he stands behind him ! But a free-born man will kick a little under such slavery. Andrew Ramsay, without looking up, gruffly desired John to see that his cloak was better brushed than yesterday, and to fetch a different pair of shoes from that, and then he felt somewhat appeased for his superiority. _ Isobel Ramsay, warm - hearted, simple - minded " Bell ;" Janet M'Farlane, with her girlish devo tion to romance, who lets the supper burn while she is poring over " Evelina," but who ultimately sub sides into the most matter-of-fact and credit able of matrons, are more interesting, be cause more true to life, than the dreamy, disconsolate Elison, with her mournful love and her musical lamentations. Some of these last, however, are very sweet and tender. The real heroine of the book is Violet M'Farlane, " Mrs. Vi," the charming coquette of the first volume, who delights the eyes but grieves the hearts of those who love her, and the noble-hearted heroine of the last volume, who, in a spirit worthy of her father's daughter, bears her self-imposed cross with patience and reso lution, and works good to herself and others out of apparently overwhelming evil. Other very capital characters we must leave unmentioned ; we have said enough to demonstrate the nature of this very charming and attractive tale. President Johnson en Penianism. The following is the President's proclamation : "Whereas it has become known to nwthat certain evil dispoEied persons have within the territory and jurisdiction of the United States begun and set on foot, and have pro vided and prepared, and are still engaged in providing and preparing, means for a military enterprise and expedition to be carried on from the territory of the United States against the colonies; districts, and people of British North America within the dominions of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, with which said colonies, dis tricts, kingdom, and people the United States are at peace : And whereas the proceedings aforesaid constitute a high misdemeanour, forbidden by the laws of - the United States, as well as by the laws of nations : Now, therefore, for the purpose of preventing the carrying on of the unlawful enterprise and expedition aforesaid from the territory of the United States, and to maintain the public peace, as well as the national honour, and enforce obedience and respect to the laws of the United States, I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, do adnonish and warn all good citizens of the United States against taking part, or in any way aiding, abetting, or countenancing said unlawful proceedings ; and I do exhort all judges, magistrates, marshals, and officers in the service of the United States to employ all their lawful authority and power to prevent and defeat the aforesaid unlawful proceedings, and to arrest and bring to justice all persons who may be engaged therein. And in pursuance of the Act of Congress in such cases made and provided, I do furthermore authorise and empower Major-General George G. Meade, commanding the military diNision of the At lantic, to employ the land and naval forces of the United States, and the militia thereof, to arrest and prevent the setting on foot and carrying on of the enterprise and -expe dition aforesaid. In testimony whereunto I have Lereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. _ _ "Don 6 at Washington, the 6th day of June, in the year of our Lord 1866, and of the independence of the United States the 90th.

BALMORAL, Wednesday. The Queen and Princess Helena drove out yester day morning. In the afternoon her Majesty went to Craig Cluny, accompanied by Princess llelena, and at tended by the Duchess Dowager of Athole and Miss 31' Gregor. Princess Louise and Prince Arthur, attended by Miss Cathcart, went out riding. Prince Arthur arrive 3 at the Castle yesterday, at tended by Major Elphinston. Mr. George Gilbert Scott, the architect of the National I.\lemorial which is being orected in Hyde park to the memory of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, yesterday, by command of her Majesty the Queen, deposited in the central stone of the structure a collection of the coins of the realm, together with a short descriptive account and plan of the design inscribed on parchment. The Prince and Princess of Wales rode out on horseback yesterday forenoon, attended by the Countess of Macclesfield and Lieut.-Col. Keppel. The Princess of Wales took a carriage drive in the afternoon. Mr. Hogarth has had the honour of submitting for the inspection of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales some views of the Danish Palace of Fredericsburg published in aid of the funds for the restoration of that building. Their Royal Highnesses the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz left Lon don on Wednesday afternoon for Dover, and embarked immediately for the Continent. --- RETURN OF THE QUEEN FROM SCOTLAND.—Her Majesty the Queen, with their Royal Highnesses Princesses Helena, Louise, Beatrice, and Prince Leopold, attended by Lord Charles Fitzroy, Lieut.-General Grey, the Duchess of Athole, Hon. Miss Cathcart, Lieutenant Stirling, Mr. Sall, Dr. Brown, &c., will, according to the latest arrangements, leave Balmoral early on Monday after noon and return to Windsor Castle. The Royal travel lers will post the distance between Balmoral and the Aboyne station of the Deeside Railway (about 20 miles), the horses being changed midway at Ballater. At Aloyne, which is the nearest station to Balmoral, Mr. W. cawk well, the general manager, and Mr. Neele, superintendent, will be in attendance with the Royal special train, which, as usual, is to be provided by the directors of the London and North-Western Railway. It will consist of an engine and 13 carriages, her Majesty's and the other saloons for the accommodation of the Royal family occupying the centre of the train, which will be fitted with Mr. Martin's system of electric communication. The Queen will leave Balmoral at 2 30 p.m. precisely, and travel along the Doe" side line to Aberdeen, which will be made at 3 32 p•ra Thence the Royal travellers proceed to Perth, where they will arrive at 618 p.m. After a little repose the journey will be resumed, via the Caledonian Railway, to Carlisle, where her Majesty will arrive at 11 25. From the latter station the route will be over the London and North-Wes . tern line to Bushbury, where the special train is timed to arrive at 455 on Tuesday morning. At the Buhsbury Junction, Mr. J. Grierson, general manager of the Great Western Railway, will take charge of the Royal train, which will then proceed on its way over the narrow gauge rails of the latter company's line, and, passing Oxford and Reading, arrive at Windsor at a quarter to 9 o'clock. Every precaution will be taken to insure the safety of the travellers; a pilot engine will precede the special, and all noise will be avoided at the stations on the route in order that the Queen may not be disturbed during the night journey. WINDSOR, June 21.—The two Princesses, 'Vic toria and Ella, children of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, arrived at VV indsor Castle to-day at noon, after a favourable voyage across the Channel to Dover. The near accouchmont of the Princess Louise of Hesse prevents her coming to England at pre sent. In or Out—as the Case May Be. The Times says that the Queen is prepared at once to dissolve Parliament, if the Ministers who have just now placed their resignation in her Ma jesty's hands wish it. Says the herald--We have little doubt that her Majesty will find no lack of loyal and generous co-operation in the formation of a new Ministry on a safe and satisfactory basis. Says the Star--Nothing stands in the way of a dissolution, and we believe there is good reason to expect that it will shortly be announced as the policy of the Government. Says the Daily News—We are waiting for the appearance of a Tory Ministry with the impatienc e of a public in pit and gallery "qui a des siffiets ea poche et qui ne voit pas lever la toile." The Daily Telegraph asks, with eager solicitude, Why should Lord Russell and Mr. Gladstone, at the supreme moment, shrink from the responsibility of advising an appeal to the nation ? hat The Morning Advertiser announces as afact—w it calls—the idea entertained by thousands, that after a pause, and a proffered resignation, the nistry—the late Ministry, if we must call it so"; will return to office, under some new provisos, an d perhaps with a few modifications.
